LilAngelLady: Aaahhh.... I had you fooled huh? You thought I was going to through this WHOLE story without a disclaimer, huh? Boy did I fool you...

Vegeta: Any fool with half a brain could clearly see that you're relative inept understanding of the show would prove you have to right or legal claim to the show.

LilAngelLady: Did I ask for your opinion.

Vegeta: No but...

LilAngelLady: Zzzzip it.

Vegeta: Oh now you're ripping off a movie. Brilliant use of creativity and originality, I applaud you. *claps hands mockingly*

Piccolo: You know Vegeta, if you'd shut up maybe we could get on with this. Maybe then you'd have more than a voice cameo...

Vegeta: If memory serves me, Namek you're not even this fic! *gives Piccolo the death stare*

LilAngelLady: Yet...

Piccolo smirks: If you don't cool it the vein in you forehead's going to pop and then you have to be written out.

Vegeta 's vein throbs: Is that a challenge? *powers up ki ball*

Piccolo: Always

LilAngelLady backs away slowly: Umm... yeah... I don't own any rights or what have you and have no connection to Dragonball Z's creators, producers, or distributors. Thank you and enjoy.

Vegeta: THAT COMMENT WILL BE YOUR LAST!!!

LilAngelLady: AHHHH! What did I do?

Vegeta: I was talking to you foolish girl! I was talking to him! *Piccolo sweatdrops*

Gohan: Just run the chapter already while I get these two broken up...

LilAngeLady/Piccolo/Vegeta: Where'd you come from?

Chapter Five: The Deeper Mystery

"I'm sorry just go over this one more time for my sake." Kaykora heard a voice say. "If he has to say it one more time Krillian I think he's going think your dense. Or is it to late for that?" Another more mocking one said. "Relax Vegeta. We have to have everyone on the same page if we're going to helpthem." A Stern but playful one said. Heroli spoke again. She could hear him going over the story in full detail of her and how they got there. He spoke slowly and clearly pausing from time to time as if he was letting it sink in.

"This seal, where is it? Does she have it?" The mocking one asked. "No." Kaykora moaned out. "It fell out of my pocket just before I hit the ground. It was either it get destroyed or Cell would get my powers. What would you have done?" "But Kaykora, that was your only key." Heroli said saddened. "Nope." Kaykora said ppulling out the electronic journal and dropping it beside her. "Hopefully it didn't get banged up to bad." She said before passing out again. Heroli picked up the device and smiled "Maybe you revealed more on your journey..."

When Kaykora woke again she was in a warm a comfortable bed. Smells of cooking filled her nose and she smiled. Opening her eyes she struggled to get up out of the bed. All efforts failed as she was very weak and she slide out on to the floor the a thump. A few moments later a boy rushed in to check on her.

"You're a wake!" He said smiling and trying to help her up.

Visions flashed in her head and she soon realized it was his future. She saw him achieve great power and die several times before finding happiness and peace. "Give me your hand." She said reaching up hers. He placed his in hers. "I took this from you when I defeated Cell you just don't know it yet." She said as the light from the pendent grew. Power surged through the boy, a power stronger than he had ever felt before. But yet it is one that was in him all along.

"Gohan what's going on in there?" The stern but playful voiced said as he popped his head in the door. His eyes widened as he saw what's was happening to his son. "Just making things right, Goku." Kaykora said when the glow faded and she had slumped over on the floor. "That was cool." Gohan said smiling up at his Dad who just scratched his head.

Goku came over and picked up Kaykora and again she saw his future full off death and rebirth until at last peace. "You're supposed to be dead." She said as he set her back in bed. "Huh?" Goku said looking at her strangely. "Cell, he was supposed to kill you, until I showed up. But now, now things are different." She responded drifting off again.

When she awoke again she was in the same bed and the same familiar smells filled her nose. This time she could get up and walk on her own and made her way to the kitchen.

"Hello." She said quietly. "Well it's about time you woke up." The woman in the kitchen said looking at her and smiling. "You've only been drifting in and out of consciousness for a week." She said drying her hands bringing a big plate of food and setting it on the table. "Well don't just stand there get over here and eat. You need nutrients if you're going to recover properly."

Kaykora did as she was told and sat down. When she was done she sat her plate on the counter next to the sink. "Thank-you." She choked out and wiped and tear from her eye. "Awe what's wrong?" Chichi said looking at her and putting a hand on her shoulder. "I miss my Mom." Kaykora choked out and then burst into tears. "It's ok I'm here dear. I'll play Mom for awhile if you want." Chichi said gently wrapping her arms around Kaykora. Kaykora nodded.

"Well then stop that crying." She said handing her a towel. Kaykora nodded again and smiled as she wiped her tears. "You maybe very strong and powerful but your still someone's little girl." Chichi said smiling and returning to the washing. "Goku and Gohan are outside if you'd like to go see them." Kaykora looked out the window and saw the pair play fighting.

When Kaykora stepped out the door Goku saw her and instantly stopped. "Gohan why don't you go in and help your Mom in the house." He said in a semi-serious tone. Gohan knew the look on his father's face and nodded and went in. Kaykora walked toward him hesistantly. "Are you feeling better?" She nodded. "That's good." Goku said smiling.

"I don't know what got into me." Kaykora said quietly. "And now I've seriously screwed up the time line of this planet and now there's no telling what harm I've done. "What do you mean?" Goku said staring at her intently with a look of curiosity mixed with apprehension. "When I touched you an Gohan I saw what was supposed to be your futures. I saw what was supposed to happen to you and what has happened on this world. I understand things better now but I'm afraid I've caused damage to the space-time continuum." "Like Trunks did by coming here to begin with?" Goku questioned thoughtfully. "I guess so." Kaykora said sitting down on the ground and staring at the grass that blew gently in the breeze. Goku simply nodded.

After a few moments of silence Goku spoke again. "Do you know how you got to be so powerful and where all that power came from?" "No." Kaykora responded bluntly. Again Goku simply nodded. "I don't know what to tell you except your father maybe dead. I don't know how being a SuperSaiyan translates in family lines I mean I guess if your father can transform since you can that's how it's worked with Gohan. But your not half Saiyan half human so I don't know how it would work. Please tell me everything you can remember starting from the beginning." Goku said coming and sitting in front of Kaykora. "Maybe then we can get a better feel for who your father maybe."

"What do you suppose they're talking about?" Gohan mused as he gazed out the window at his father and their visitor. "I don't know Gohan but what have I told you about spying and eavesdropping on people. It's not polite! And besides don't you have some studies you could be tending to!" Chichi snapped. "Yes Mom." Gohan responded grudgingly sliding off to his room.

Kaykora closed her eyes took a deep breath. "The farthest back I can remember is sitting with my Mom. I was about three years old when she told me my father was leaving. She said something about his Master was trying to track him and he was putting us in danger. A few days later it was very early and my father came in and put the seal on my chest and he kissed me of the forehead. He said he would always be with me and I could always feel him. And it's true I feel him on this planet or near it. He's close." Tears streamed down her face and she held her head. "But without the seal I can't be sure. That was my only concrete hope. And he's so close but I can't remember. Why can't I remember!" She screamed hitting her head with her fists. The pendent on her neck glowed fiercely a deep blue. Goku noticed it for the first time.

"Hey, hey. Now stop and look at me. It's ok" Goku grabbed her hands and held them down. "Now do you know what this is?" He said gesturing to the pendent.

Kaykora looked at it a moment then closed her eyes again. "It's the royal mark. My mother carried it and wore it. She wasn't supposed to pass it on to me until she was dying. But they came and invaded the castle and she got scared. She told me they were after her, they thought she was the strongest and she gave it to me. I was about 10 when she did this. I knew it wasn't time I knew we'd escape together and she'd live. I didn't want to take it and wear it but she insisted she told me even if she wasn't going now, they'd find her and kill her eventually." She choked out as the tears were now pooling on the ground beneath her head.

"Who's 'they'?" Goku probed never taking his eyes off the pendent, which had fade to a faint glow but was steadily increasing in strength.

"They called themselves the 'Dark Queens' they were a branch of very strong matriarchs in my Mother's government. They had found a way to somehow tap a massive energy and use it to gain power. At first they only wanted to control the world but it soon became universal domination. They wanted to use our race as an army of slaves to conquer worlds for them and gain them more power." Kaykora said tightly closing her eyes. "One day there was this massive explosion that wiped out many the large island continent. It was ki driven but we couldn't pinpoint who it was; it was foreign."

"It had to be Frieza these 'Dark Queens' must have been working for him and they may have gone into league with him in exchange for establishing their dominance on your planet." Goku said with a serious expression.

"No..." Kaykora said cocking her head and looking very deep in thought; the pendent glowing ever brighter. "They were killed in blast..." She said very slowly and thoughtfully. "This was just days before I left during the Exodus. Millions of people took off toward a neighboring, uninhabited planet but many got left behind out of sheer lack of enough ships. No wait there was only one left. Harastine, she killed the other two. She somehow amassed more power than they did and killed them. She was the youngest but she had to be dead by the time I awoke again on Namek even with our exceptional long lives. It was rumored she was growing or trying to grow perfect children. And that when the process was perfected, all Archesaiya children would be perfect and they would learn to bow down to her and her heirs and fight and conquer. Everything that we Archesaiyas despise. The very reason we left the old planet long before I was born." She gushed as memories came pouring more easily. "Whoa slow down. Archesaiyas?" Goku said eyes wide and eyebrows deeply slanted. A look of disbelief and excitement swirled in his eyes. Kaykora opened her eyes and nodded slowly. "Old planet?" Kaykora nodded again. "I'm sorry but your going to have to explain that one to me." Goku said laughing and striking the typical hand behind head pose when he's faced with odd or strange information."

"Simply put we're cousins if that's what you want to hear." Kaykora replied simply. More closely than most Archesaiyas and Saiyans." Goku fell over backwards in shock then sprung back up. He started pacing as he said, "I'm sorry you're going to have to explain better than that."

Kaykora nodded and closed her eyes again. As she began to focus hard on the history lessons she had as a child. "There was two races on Vegeta yours and mine. Yours brutal, blood thirsty, and war obsessed and we weren't. We only fought to defend ourselves from your race and the onslaughts they engaged on us. We developed great technology and advanced far whereas your race did not. Another race came from another planet and settled on Vegeta they were cocky and arrogant as their superiority. They tried to suppress both races despite my race's best efforts to make peace with them. Not wanting to be engaged in further conflict, we develop space travel technology and left the planet landing on one not far away in another solar system." Kaykora paused a moment. "We never knew the fate of Vegeta after that."

"We beat them but came under the control of a brutal tyrant who used us for the purpose the tyrant on your planet intends to use your race. That's why I'm here. It's very possible that one of them warriors sent out to conquer planets is your father and if that's the case, he's probably dead." Goku said in a sad and concerned voice.

"Why do you say that?" Kaykora queried opening her eyes. "Because Vegeta and myself are they only Saiyans left." Goku said quietly. "You don't honestly believe that do you?" Kaykora asked laughing hard. Goku just nodded. "Well your not. I hate to burst your bubble but there are Saiyans alive on my planet and the one many of my people fled to. Not only of your kind were blood thirsty and war obsessed, many were caring a gently creatures like you are now. We brought them with us when we left. Sure some married into the Archesaiya population, but there's a larger independent population that agreed long ago to exist in peace with us if they can just be left alone." She said smiling.

Goku stopped pacing his eyes tripled in size and sporadic laughter came out of his mouth as he stared at her. "We... You mean... You're telling me my race ISN'T almost extinct?"

Kaykora looked at him with a glare of comtempt. "You mean you ACTUALLY BELIEVED the Saiyan ace was almost extinct?" Goku nodded. "No, no, no. Nowhere near." She finished laughing. "Can you take me to them?" Goku said his eyes wide and child-like excitement oozed from his face. "What do you mean?" Kaykora said extremely confused. "Can you focus in on their energy and let me feel it from you?" Goku said jumping up and down. "I... I guess... But what good would that do?" She asked still very confused and slightly worried. "Because then I can use Instant Transmission and take us there." Goku exclaimed still hopping. "Of course! I forgot about that!" Kaykora exclaimed jolting up. "Huh?' Now Goku was confused. "Nevermind don't ask just let me focus." Kaykora said closing her eyes and focusing intently.

In a few moments her eyes flashed open and a tear rolled down. "What's wrong?" Goku asked with a serious expression. "I found my mother." Kaykora said looking at him. "Hang on to her energy signature. Just a bit longer." She nodded and Goku ran over, flung the door open and popped his head inside. "Chichi we're going for a walk promise we'll be back by dinner. Love you, bye." With that he closed the door, ran back to Kaykora. "Still got it?" She nodded. About the time Goku got a fix on it, Chichi came barreling out of the kitchen. "Goku just where do you think you're..." She never got to finish the sentence.
