Chapter 4 Connecting the dots
Thursday night and Friday morning.
"Worthless traitorous scum!" Ichigo yelled to herself as she watched one of the documentaries about the Civil War that Momo had given her. "They should be executed on sight for their actions. I hate this mission already. There is no honor in asking for help from the honor-less."
As she watched more of the documentary her anger at her mission and herself, and the universe in general grew.
'Stupid bastards!' Ichigo had not thought about the Vegeta family in a long time. They were brutes. Some eight hundred years ago, they had lead a three year-long insurrection and rebellion. When it was all said and done, over 150 million innocent civilian Saiyans had died and some 3 million warriors had perished. When they realized that they would fail to defeat Ichigo's family, they had lead some 500,000 traitorous rebels on a mass exodus and went to serve the Changeling Cold. The Vegeta rebels were every bit as cruel and heartless as the Changelings they came to serve. They had conquered countless systems and killed billions of people. Then suddenly they and their cruel master disappeared through the Firbald Wormhole never to be seen again.
Out of sight, out of mind. But now the Changelings were coming to destroy her life. The Changelings had never stopped attempting to recruit the Saiyan race since the Vegeta rebels had helped Cold come to power. The changelings seemed to think that since the scum like everyone who followed the traitorous Vegeta family were willing to be lap dogs, so were the rest of the Saiyan race.
Actually, the only thing that had kept the Changelings from annihilating all of the Saiyans years ago was the fact that Changelings, as a race, were incredibly lazy. They did almost nothing themselves that they could force someone else to do for them. So they normally sent their brutes to Saiya every few years. It was almost as if they used Saiya as a training ground for their better brute squads. The Saiyans as a people normally stayed to themselves. They protected their own and traded with a very select group of races. When the brute squads came people died, but the strong warriors that survived became even better. It was a vicious cycle, but until today, it had always been a mutual cycle. While the better Saiyan soldiers were stronger than most of the brutes, the Saiyans had never been a threat, or had anything worth taking, so the Changelings had mostly left them alone.
"Stupid bastards messed everything up." Ichigo muttered to herself as she grabbed a book and started reading.

Later that day
"Approaching the Firbald Wormhole." The computer reported neutrally.
"Damn. I hate this mission. It is stupid and I don't want to leave. We should be fighting for ourselves not looking for some stupid honor-less traitors that left centuries ago. Not only is this worse then finding a needle in a haystack, but once I find them, I have to show them how powerful I am so they respect me and then might help me. Which of course means I have to kill a bunch of people and terrorize a bunch of planets until they accept me. I don't want to be accepted by such scum! I don't want them to accept me it's degrading! I want Blizzard and his stupid Changelings to go away and never come back. Worst of it all is I know my father sent me away to protect me. I'm not a child I don't need protecting! How am I ever supposed to prove I am worthy if I'm never given the chance?"
Ichigo probably could have gone on ranting about the her problems for a good deal longer, but she was interrupted by the computer, "Incoming message." It dutifully reported.
"Ok, Play message."
Captain Banana appeared on the screen.
"King Kudamono and the entire first defensive legion are dead!" Blizzard killed them from space! He blew up half the planet! You have to help us we can't hold out much longer. Please come b##)*# BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ".
"NOOO!!!" the message broke up as the ship plunged into the wormhole. "No! This can't be happening!" 'Why did the Changelings have to be so evil? Why Why Why!!!! It just wasn't fair!' She thought as she stared blankly at the now blank screen.
Ichigo looked down at herself. She felt like a hollow shell. She was wearing the best Saiyan battle armor, and it wasn't her. She was an act, an imposter, and there was nothing she could do about it. "Sniff" 'No! You can't cry! You have a mission to do! The only thing that you could have done if you had stayed was die.' She thought to herself. 'Now at least there might be hope.' She shook her head, 'No, more like desperation'.
'It doesn't matter. I have a to save my people. If I need to make a pact with the Vegeta Saiyans to do so, I will.' Ichigo set her face in as evil looking of a grimace as she could make. "The Vegeta family abhorred weakness. I cannot afford to show any now. If I am just an act, I had better get it right. The followers of Vegeta were cruel and evil and so will I be."
Since the ship was on autopilot, she got up and walked to the galley. "It is not as if I can really expect to live through this trip anyway. If I return home without finding a Super Saiyan, I will die and my people will die with me. If I find the Super Saiyans I doubt they will let me live even if they do go kill the Changelings."
She absent-mindedly opened the refrigerator and grabbed a gallon of milk with her tail. She was hungry and a girl had to eat. 'My best hope now is that when I do die I die with honor. If it convinces the Vegeta Rebels to save my people, then I cannot ask for anything more.'
After a meal that would feed quite a few average humans she set about finding the home planet of the rebel Saiyans.
"Computer, are there any planets or ships in scanner range?"
"I am detecting the ruins of a planet that was destroyed approximately 600 years ago and one ship in range."
"Give me scouter readings on that ship."
"The ship bares a blue logo in the shape of two Cs and has four life-forms on board. The highest power level is a 5."
"Ok set up a intercept course and dock with the ship. I am going to ask them some questions."
As she said this, a cold dread filled her. 'Push it away,' she thought.
Ichigo turned and looked at the box in which her mother's pendant sat. 'I must never forget who I am or why I do this. But I also cannot allow myself to feel regret. I have the fate of my entire race riding me. To doubt myself now is failure. Father always said to listen to those you trust but never doubt you actions when your actions must be done. Doubting yourself only breeds indecision and indecision kills people.'
The ship docked with a thump. Ichigo slowly got up and went to the airlock. The door to the other ship wouldn't open so she blew it open with a Ki blast. 'A rebel wouldn't knock either.' Taking a quick look around she realized that the ship was a science vessel. There would be no challenges here.
"Aahhh!!" A man screamed. "What do you want with us?"
"Where can I find the Saiyans? Tell me or I will have to kill you" Ichigo said in her meanest voice possible.
"I don't know what you are talking about!" the man screamed.
Ichigo picked him up and threw him into a wall. She had only meant to rough him up, but he was of an exceptionally weak species. She cringed involuntarily when she heard his neck and several other bones break.
'OOHHH!! And I hadn't even gotten any information from him,' she realized. 'Well there were still three more people on this ship. All I have to do is find them.'
"--Smit now!" she heard a woman say as she walked into a large room.
"Transmit what?" Ichigo said to the woman.
"Please don't hurt us, our research here is important," the woman pleaded.
"That does not tell me what you sent and to whom you sent it."
"I sent our data on the debris from the planet Vegeta, it is."
"VEGETA!?!?" Ichigo screamed, "What do you mean, debris!??"
"The planet that was here was once called Vegeta that is all I know, we were sent to look for artifacts."
"What happened to the Saiyans?"
"Who are the Saiyans?" the woman responded. Then she saw Ichigo's scowl and thought better of that response. "Oh, you mean the people that lived on the planet? They must have all died."
"Tell me what you know of them now or I will have to kill you like I did that stupid man in the other room."
"What?! You killed Kenny!"
KA-ZAP! Ichigo blew a very small hole in the side of the ship. A loud PSSSSSSSSST noise could be heard as the air escaped through the hole.
"Hear that? That is your air. Tell me what you know and I might patch the hole."
"Ah AH I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING! I DON"T WANT TO DIE!!!" the woman collapsed onto the floor bawling her head off.
"Sigh" Ichigo walked right past the woman and went to look for the other two people. 'Why is it so hard to get any information? Surely the rebel Saiyans had wrecked havoc on the people of this galaxy. These people should be overly willing to tell her how to find them. It just doesn't make any sense.'
She found the last two people huddled together on the bridge.
"Will you two cooperate or will I have to kill you? Do either of you know anything about the Saiyans?"
"Umm one of the tests we were running here was to look for DNA," the blonde male said. "We da-da-didn't find any."
"Why were you looking for the DNA?"
"We don't know, we were just supposed to collect samples if we found some! Please, we don't know anything about the people who lived here." The girl cried.
"Fine none of you seem to know anything about the Saiyans, tell me how to find the Namekians."
"The Namekians? What do you want wi-oouuph ack..." His question was cut off when Ichigo hit him in the stomach. The redheaded girl just stared as her companion coughed up blood.
Ichigo was getting sick and mad. She didn't want to hurt them, but they just wouldn't cooperate. She vented her rage by shooting out a computer monitor with a ki blast. Well, at least, that had been what she meant to do. The young woman jumped and ran towards the door just as the Ki blast left Ichigo's hand. It hit her on the side of her face and ended up blowing off the girl's head.
'Oh! No! I hate this. I don't want to kill any more people!' Ichigo thought to herself.
BANG!!!...Ping!!
The man had from someplace pulled a strange weapon and fired it at her head. The bullet had impacted harmlessly in the middle of Ichigo's forehead. It stung, but that was about all it did.
Whap! More by instinct then thought, Ichigo slapped the thing out of his hand. She managed to break several of the bones in his hand and arm in the process.
'Serves him right the jerk, and to think I was feeling sorry for them just a moment ago.' She thought to herself as she then ignored the sobbing and whining of the man went to the navigation computer and found the location of Namek. 'Yes that will be my next stop.'
She looked down at the man and realized that he was only a few years older then her and probably had been hoping for a long happy life. Thinking of her father and the horrors of Blizzard she silently apologized. 'We don't always get what we want,' she said to herself. Stepping over the fallen girl Ichigo started to loose the little amount of emotional control that she had kept during the one sided confrontation. A single tear rolled down her face as she got back into her ship. It was soon followed by many more.

Meanwhile in Heaven on the planet Kaioshin. (still Thursday, Sorry)
Goku was the Guardian Champion of the Universe. Most people who knew of his existence called him Shin-Goku as a sign of supreme respect. Being the Guardian Champion was rather boring to Goku. Since he was not actually dead, the Kaios did not like him leaving to visit Chichi, Gohan, Goten and the rest of the gang in the dead people's area of heaven. Rather, he had to sit here and make sure nothing like Majin Buu ever came back to the universe. As nothing like Buu had ever reared its ugly head, Goku had spent the last 400 odd years training.
While Saiyans liked to train, 400 years was a bit much. So he sat down and watched what was happening on Earth. He saw Roshi and his father training, and was proud that his descendants were still masters of martial arts. Even if there had not been any impetus to become a Super Saiyan since he had absorbed the dragon balls so many years ago.
He watched for many hours. Through the night and well into the morning, he watched. He watched with pride as Goshu, Teddy, and Frank left for New Namek. He smiled as Roshi and his friends headed off to camp.
Happy with what was happening on Earth, he broadened his search to include anything that included humans.
"What's this?" He asked as he saw a young girl kill an innocent man on a Capsule Corp. ship.
Hmm, she's looking for Saiyans, I wonder why. Goku thought. He focused his thoughts on her and then almost fell over.
"SHE'S A SAIYAN PRINCESS!!!! WHERE DID SHE COME FROM!!!!!!!!!! HEY KAIOSHIN!!!! I FOUND ANOTHER SAIYAN!!!"
Kaioshin, who had been meditating, almost jumped off of his planet at the sound of Goku's voice.
"Do you always have to be so excitable?"
"I found another Saiyan! Isn't that exciting?" Goku happily said.
"Oh, you finally found Saiya, that is the planet on which your people originated. I would have thought that you would have found it much sooner."
"WHAT A PLANET?!?!? I only found one Girl!!!"
Kaioshin rolled his eyes and pointed to a star off to the east. "There, look there. Now, if you don't mind, I am going back to my meditation."
Goku was about to open his mouth when Kaioshin, knowing what was coming, created a mountain of food between the two of them.
"Umm, Ah, Thanks! Kaioshin."
After devouring the mountain of food, Goku set about locating the planet Saiya. In just a few moments, he found what he was looking for. It totally surprised him. 'Huh? There's so many of them. Wow I never thought I would see so many Saiyans. And they seem almost like humans.
Whoa, what's this?' "AAAAAAAAAHHHH FRIEZA'S PEOPLE!!!!!!! They're attacking the planet! I thought that we had killed them all. Darn, I find my race and they're being attacked by Changelings!"
Goku had learned a few things while he had been training. One of the things he learned was to use his telepathy, like what he had done with Krillan on Namek, at great range. He searched for the leader of the Changelings and learned what was planned. He then found the mind of King Kudamono and learned of his and Ichigo's plans.
He realized that they had made a mistake. A mistake that could prove to be fatal for a lot of people.
He knew that people would die regardless of what he did now. But, there was a chance that just a few actions could cause things to work in the right direction for those Goku cared about. Since he knew Kaioshin would never let him get directly involved, Changelings where not a threat to the universe as a whole, he decided to take a different route.
"Kaioshin, I'm getting a friend to train with! Bye"
And with that Goku disappeared.

Hmmm.. from 26 to 7 pages. Well they can all be novels by themselves.
