Chapter Six : Connections

..........................

"Halt!" The guard said menacingly to the cloaked figure. "State your name and business wyrm before you enter the King's chamber." They stood by the golden doors that led to the private chambers of the King.

Dark eyes looked from behind the dark folds of the hood at the two grunts that stood before him. "I will enter fool without you or your companions damn monkeys knowing what I please to do with your damn King. And you if you don't take heed and move away, so that as your life won't be forfiet."

A worried flash passed through both the guards' faces. The one who had stepped forward now anxiously glanced back at his buddy who was fumbling with the indicator. Finnally gripping his own device he locked on the strangers Ki power. The man shook his head sadly and said back at his companion, "Don't worry 'bout it Wiofs that man couldn't hult a yearling, just another bum begging for money."

The other had turned to face the cloaked figure again, "The king has taken i'll today and won't be taking the fun of killing your tiny nonexistent lives. Now if you want to die that bad..." He stepped forward and puffed his chest out. "I don't have time for you idiots, MOVE!" The lone figure yelled at the man who still blocked his way. Holding up his hand he quickly powered up and shot a red ball towards the other who wore the green indicator.

The ball exploded in a blast of red fury and heat. It threw handfuls of dust everywhere, clouding the view of the surprised guard as he saw the remnants of the other guard turn to ash then nothing. Then quickly turning back to where the man used to be...... suddenly he felt a heated rush going through his body .... Then nothing.

As the dust cleared the cloaked figure was nowhere to be found. And the first guard was reduced to nothing but ash and dust. And the other was left with a petrified face and a gaping hole in his stomach.

Bardock slipped inside the King's chambers and was slightly surprised at what he found. It was thick and hot inside the room and there was a slumped figure in the thick folds of the bed.

"Sire, get up now. We have many things to do today." Bardock said to the huddled figure under the deep layers of cloth. He was answered with a low whiny moan, "Noooo."

Bardock crossed the large room within seconds and reached toward the massive curtains that hid the bright afternoon sun. Reaching out with both hands he grabbed it and yanked it down. The heavy curtain ripped through its foundations and crashed to the fur lined marble floor. Turning his attention back to the huddled King he bent down and threw of the many layers of hot blankets.

As the layers decreased it finally revealed the hidden figure. Bardock looked down pitifully at the reining king, Nappa. As he looked down he remembered how much he had worked just to get this dog the crown he wanted so much...

~@~ Flashback ~@~

"Say your last words my lieges." Nappa said smugly to the tied Elders and council members. "You will have your day bastard, our people will overthrow your tyranny and foolhardy rule that will last you few generations." The eldest of the council replied grimly.

Nappa's laughter boomed everywhere as he laughed hardily and shot back, "What people." He swept his hands around implementing the many who had come to his call. "Your people are gone or looting through my peoples garbage!"

"But enough, you frail pathetic excuse for a Saiyan, your people have poisoned this planet enough with your living breath and souls." He turned his back to them and walked away saying, "Fire at will."

That night was filled with many screams and cries of the old generation of council members and Elder leaders. Nappa sat by his window watching the groups that came and went, each carrying their own stones to throw. "Their generation is gone and planet Nepa-Sei is forged of the bones of old and cooled with blood of the strong and young. There is no more Vegeta-Sei, a pathetic hidden planet, but the unreveled power of Nepa-Sei. We will crush our old alliances and become our own bitches of the Galaxies." He said conceitedly, he sighed and gazed out again at the beaten figures and gulped down his dark red wine.

~@~ End ~@~

*That seems so long ago, and I won't let this bum ruin it for me, all that I have done, and my control over this dominion* Shaking the feeling of near failure, he reached down and lifted the weighty man to his feet. His possessed strength didn't come naturally to any one so easy as he did, which reminded him of how much he had sacrificed to get his puppet to the throne.

He leaned forward as to whisper in his ear. When his lips were as near to touch he took a deep breath and screamed into Nappa's ear. "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING." Ultimately he got the slumped mans attention. He turned to face him and Bardock saw in amazement on how badly the drugs had taken their toll on the man.

Nappa's eyes were red-rimmed and puffy, his cheeks were bruised and had deep dark lines cut into them below his eyes, and his body and mouth were slack and limp. It then dawned on Bardock what had happened. *Stupid fool, he overdosed on the patis and was suffering the major side affects it created* He hefted Nappa high enough to let his feet dangle before he threw him against the nearest wall.

"You fucking fool, what did I tell you." Recovering just enough to lift himself on hands and knees to glare icily at Bardock with hangover eyes. Taking this as a slight amusement and not a threat to be reckoned with Bardock came closer to Nappa. "What the fuck do you think you can do to me??" He said, "Your to fucked up to do anything as close as you are thinking."

To answer his remark Nappa's body started to shake and he threw up heaves of food and liquids on the floor. Bardock grew madder and closed the distance between the two and kicked his heaving gut, resulting in Nappa dropping back to lie on his stomach and giving the floor more of his insides. "Why don't you listen to me bitch, see what horrible things it does to you if you don't."

Bardock walked back to the bed careful to avoid the bile and sickness that plagued the floor. He sat down and stared back at the pitiful person that lay before him. *I will destroy you and then rebuild you back up to my desires. You will become my slave and loyal bitch Nappa, and you will love it.*

After a couple more minutes of silence and more juices spilt on the floor, Bardock finally addressed what had happened. "If you had taken them like i told you to you wouldn't be feeling anything but a minor headache. Patis is the strongest level of Steroids our people know. Though its effects can be harsh the results are worth it. Our power levels will double very soon and so will our army. The drug will be deadly to our troops and will sadly kill of 3/10 of the group. But those who live will be stronger than any army our people have ever had!"

"Our army is waiting for you my king." Bardock said annoyed that Nappa was to busily caring for his warring armour more than his own shock troops. *That will be another thing that will have to be changed.

After polishing his shiny helm another time he grew confident that he would be ready to meet his troops. He walked over to where Bardock stood impatiently and took a deep calm breath before he reached out to open the red curtains. As he stepped onto the porch he was amazed at the proximity of who had gathered before him.

Before him stood thousands of men and women all wearing his crest and re-designed armour. He gloated at all the attention the 50,000+ people were giving him. He rose his arms experiemently and got an earth shattering cry of the combined forces. His heart was filled with happiness and glee as he thought of all the damage he could do with them.

His eyes passed through rows upon rows of rows of fighters and his eyes gazed up at the humongous numbers Battleships and Carriers that he saw that filled the sky and blocked the sun casting a cool overshadow over the entire plain. Still agape at the whole presence of it all he whispered back to Bardock, "Is this our whole army and fleet."

Nappa sensed Bardocks displeasure and him shaking his head, 'No sire, that is only our shock troops and their part of the fleet, or in a simpler way, this is the 3rd regiment.' Nappa's eyes shot up and he whispered back, 'How many regiments are there.' He was answered by a strained voice, 'Will you stop putting your attention back here and put it where it needs to be, motivating your people. This will be your last question and my last answer. There are approximately 5 regiments and 10 generals altogether."

Feeling satisfied, Nappa turned around and began to give his speech of motivation and all his plans for the United Kingdom of all Saiyans-jins (UKS). But hidden from all sights was a speaker planted behind Nappa's ear and the mic. on Bardocks lips. All who witnessed the gathering were amazed and perplexed at the great intensity as which Nappa's words were....

"I don't see why we take this route Bardock, this may yet be our undoing!" Nappa yelled at Bardock who sat down coolly at the table. It was a couple of hours after his presentation that Nappa had finally given his thoughts about the plan. "We are heading towards the Ice-Jins sectors of space. You try to spark a flame between me and Freeza, Why?" Nappa added more to the faults that he had seen with the plan. You slightly underestimate me and our people, Bardock glared back at the furious Nappa.

He pointed towards the map that covered the table. "If you would hold you damn anger and watch my plan you will see why we will wage war against that snake." His finger followed a twisting path that led them towards many of their old allied friends. "These are the planets we will conquer one after another and if we strike quickly their defenses will not be intact and no sound of warning will come to the others"

Nappa calmed down and stared back at the map, "Why do attack those planets, most were part of our old alliances. It would seem that you lessen my allies and add onto yours." He said questionably. Bardock snapped back at him, "The only reason I do this my KING is because the late King Vegeta had allowed these strong kingdoms flock around our superior power as to not be destroyed. And from these planet battle we will gain more warriors, slaves, and others for your army's pleasure.

Feeling shot down he said back, "Fine whatever, we shall see if that is true or not. But for now, I tire and wish to retreat back to my quarters for some rest. Inform me of your plans at a later time." Nappa hung his head down low and shuffled back to his room, totally defeated. Behind him though was the victorious Bardock with a evil smirk on his face *You will become my dog today Nappa!!*

After gloating for a couple of seconds he turned back to the map that lay before him. He picked out a small pointer and traced from planet to planet, beginning at Planet Nepa-Sei and ending at Planet Earth.....
