*~*~*

Last time on Dragonball Z: Brolly met Goku, Vegeta, Trunks, Bulma and Bra for the first time in his memory. Paragus explained to the good guys that Brolly had lost his memory and was now going to be good. Brolly fell for Bra (and vice versa) and Vegeta wasn't too happy with it. Trunks was rolling on the ground laughing. Bulma was yelling at Vegeta for interfering with Bra's love life. Bra was running to her room crying. Bra and Bulma were kidnapped. And Goku was clueless. The guys are flying towards the ship right now. Who is going to die for the ones they love? Vegeta? Bra? Bulma? Trunks? Brolly? Paragus? Will it be more than one person? Will Bra and Bulma get out safe? Will Vegeta ever stop glaring at me? Who knows? This time on Dragonball Z!

Chapter 2: Disappearing Saiyajins

*~*~*

"Mother? . . . Where are we?" "I- . . I think we're- . . . I don't know." "I wanna go home . . " Bra snuggled closer to her mother and Bulma wrapped her arms around her shivering daughter protectively. The room they were in was extremely cold. The floor was made out of metal- which was even worse on them because the metal was cold and they both had short-shorts and tank tops on. The only light in the small dark prison cell was coming from the bottom of the door to the room. They saw the sliver of light and Bulma crawled over to it and tried to see out the small gap between to floor and the door itself. She saw two black things right outside of the door. "Hmmm? . . !! Crap!" Bulma sat back up and whispered to Bra. "There is a guard standing outside the door! There isn't anyway out."

*Click* The door was unlocked and Bulma and Bra scooted as far back in the cell as possible. The door swung open and a gust of freezing cold air filled the tiny dungeon. They girls were blinded by the light that radiated in on them. They covered their eyes with their hands but two men came into the room and grabbed their arms, blinding them again as the guards dragged them out of the room and into the bright hall. The girls, of course, being as quick-tempered as they are, struggled and screamed the whole way as they were dragged down the hall to a couple of HUGE twin thick wooden doors. The guards stopped and threw the screaming girls in between them and the doors.

The first guard walked to the door and pushed a button on the right side wall. A loud ring was heard and the double doors slowly opened- revealing a huge throne, with the back of it facing them, and a man with a flowing black cape and armor underneath, also standing next to the throne with his back showing. The guards shoved the women in the room and walked in behind them. The second guard stepped towards the man standing next to the throne, looking out the window at Earth's beautiful landscape. "Sir! We've brought the two slaves you asked for." The man saluted to his superior. The caped man turned to face him. "Good. You are dismissed- both of you." With that, the two guards turned and left, closing the doors behind them.

*~*~*

"Look! there it is up ahead!!" Trunks exclaimed as he pointed to a speck on the horizon getting bigger and bigger as they approached it. They flew a little farther in silence until they were right in front of the ship. "Follow me!" Vegeta ordered as he landed and started walking around the ship searching for the door. The others did as they were told and walked close behind him. "Hide your ki so they won't know we're here yet." Trunks told them as he walked up next to his father. "Do what??" Everyone stopped and turned to look at Paragus and Brolly.

"Don't tell me you can't even hide your KI!?!?!" Vegeta took a step closer to them. Goku stepped in between them. "Don't worry about it Vegeta. They can just-" "Kakarotto! They aren't going to come in there with us and give us away!!" "Shhh!!! Vegeta, be quiet! . . . They can just wait outside for us then." "Fine, but if anyone spots you two," He turned to look at Brolly and Paragus, "you're as good as DEAD!!" Brolly started to stumble backwards slightly. Goku turned to him. "Don't worry 'bout Vegeta. He's very attached to his family." "I AM NOT, KAKAROTTO!!" "Ok, ok! You aren't! . . Sheesh!" "Hmph!" Guess who said that? (^^)

Trunks' head turned sharply towards to ship. "Quiet!! . . . You hear that?" Hundreds of footsteps sound form to other side of the large ship. "I- . . It sounds like an- . . an ARMY of PEOPLE!!!" Goku turned to Vegeta. "We should go check this out!" Goku jumped up and landed silently on the roof of the ship. Vegeta turned to Brolly and his father. "You two go and hide over there in that tree. I want you two a far away from the ship as possible!" Vegeta turned to Trunks and nodded. They both jumped up on the roof and joined Goku. They started walking silently but quickly toward the other end of the ship. They couldn't fly for fear that someone would sense them so they had to walk.

They soon came to the end of the ship and got down on their stomachs. The sounds of footsteps were extremely loud now. They peeked over the edge of the ship and saw lines of people in chains being marched into the ship. The lines seemed to go on forever. You couldn't even SEE the end of it. "Holy crap! Those are humans they're forcing into the ship!" Trunks looked at the older men with hope in his eyes- pleading for someone to make things right. "The slave trade . . . Frieza used to work with the Xero . . Xero would enslave the planet's people and Frieza would take the planet." "But Xero is dead! Who is doing this!?" Goku said as he tried to spot the end of the line. " . . . " Vegeta wasn't sure but he had a hunch who was behind this.

"We have to do something!!" Trunks started to stand up but Vegeta pulled him down. "Boy, are you BLIND!? Look down there!" Vegeta pointed at the lines. On each side of the lines there were guards every twenty feet watching the slaves to make sure none of them tried to flee. "We can't do anything about it now. Let's get inside and start searching for Bulma and Bra!" "But how?? There's millions of kis inside there!!!" Goku looked at Vegeta. "We'll search room by room if we have to, Kakarotto! I'm not leaving with out them!" Vegeta backed away from the edge and stood up. "Let's go." With that, he extended his arm and blasted a hole in the ship. "That should keep them from going anywhere and it gives us an entrance." he said with a smirk.

*~*~*

Lieutenant Xero looked at them and smirked. Bulma gasped when she saw his face. ~He- He- He looks just like Armock!!!~ "Well well well! I've heard a lot about you! You must be Bulma. I bet you're wondering why you're here. Well, you two are now slaves that we will sell to the slave trade. We will gather many humans to sell but you two are very important to us: You are the loved ones of Vegeta." "So you ARE related to Armock! Aren't you?! You're a Tuffle!" Xero smirked. "Yes, I am his son: Lieutenant Xero." "X- . . Xero? But that's . ." "I was named after the great King Xero, my- . . Uncle, if you will."

The throne started to move. It rotated until it was facing the three. "He looks like a miniature Xero!!" Bulma gasped as she saw the young man in the throne. "I am King Xero's son, Prince Kakkon. And you would be Bulma, I presume?" Bulma slowly stood up and helped Bra up, too. "Yes I am. Now I would like to go home so if you don't mind, I'll be leaving now." Bulma turned around and started to walk for the twin doors when Bra screamed. "MOTHER!! HELP M-" Xero put a hand over her mouth to silence her.

"She sure has a big mouth. Now, Mrs. Bulma Vegeta Briefs, unless you never want to see your loud but beautiful daughter again, you keep away from that door!" Bulma looked at him in horror. She collapsed on the ground and dazedly looked at the ground. Xero put a chain around Bra's right arm and dropped her. Bra scrambled over to her mother and shook her. "She's in shock. Put them in the 'special' dungeon for later." Kakkon ordered. Xero picked them up after adding a chain to Bulma's arm also and carried them off to some unknown room in the ship once more.

*~*~*

Vegeta jumped into the hole he made and landed in a huge dark room. The only light was from the hole in the roof but that only worked as a spotlight in the middle of the vast room. Goku and Trunks followed him in. "It's so dark . . Where do we go now?" Goku looked at Vegeta. Vegeta was forming a Ki ball in his hand that had very little Ki but a lot of light. "Do as I do and stay close to me. Don't get lost." Vegeta walked into the darkness. Trunks and Goku quickly made the 'light ball' and followed him in.

After 5 minutes of aimlessly wondering in the dark they stopped. "Maybe we should split up. We can still see each other by the light." Goku suggested. "Kakkarotto, that's the smartest thing you've ever said." "No it wasn't!" "Guys, lets just split up and keep looking!" Trunks interrupted and started to walk off. "Fine. If you find a way out, make your light brighter and bigger." Vegeta walked off into the darkness, leaving Goku alone. "Y- . .Y- . . You guys?? . . . It's kinda- . . d- . .dark d- . . don't you think?? Guys-" Goku was cut off as the air was knocked out of him. A loud thunk was heard as he hit the ground. It echoed off the walls of the large empty room.

Silence soon filled the room. Vegeta and Trunks turned towards where the sound came from. "K- . Kakkarotto?? . . His light is gone! KAKKAROTTO!?!? WHERE ARE YOU!?" Vegeta started to run towards where Goku was last heard from. Trunks watched the light moving towards where Goku's used to be. He could hear the echo of the footsteps on the cold metallic floor as his father ran. Suddenly they stopped. "OOFF!!!" *Thud* Another light disappeared. "T- . . TOUSAN!?!?! . . . Oh Kami . . I'm alone . . " Trunks extinguished his light and got in a fighting stance. He waited for the attacker to attack. He waited and waited and waited. Nothing. ~It's quiet. Too quiet.~
