Chapter 11 - Family Conflicts
Rambil woke up with a rather large head ache. He was still alive?? He'd seen his father angry before, but this was ridiculous. Well, it could be worse. Worse? No it couldn't. Everything was going wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Not only were they now after the only other saiyans alive, but they were going to have to kill them. Each and everyone of them. Why? Because Rikon was mad. He was insane. Torn apart by his masters demise. You'd think that Rikon would rejoice after Freiza's death, but did he? No. Freiza only destroyed his home planet, and - Ri, where are you? The thought came unbidden, but still disturbed him.
After several years, it was the first time Rambil had given a thought of his younger brother. On earth, when Vivta had come along with those other saiyans, one of them slightly resembled Ri. Older, yes, but definatly around the age Ri would be by now.
Rambil stood abruptly, turned towards the door to his room. Rikon had told him that Ri was dead. Killed by Vivta, and her friends. If Vivta was such a bad person, why would she save a planet? Shaking his head, Rambil told himself it was only to save that Prince. A growl rose in his throat. Vegeta. Her brother, right?
Whatever reason Vivta had for assisting earth, that didn't make him feel any better. That saiyan with her, could that have been Ri? If it was, then, well, he'd be in trouble. Could Rambil allow that? If, for even the slightest possiblity, that was his brother?
Shaking his head slowly, Rabmil left his room, to find Rext waiting. She was leaning against a wall, and watched curiously as he stood there in front of her.
"Did you want something, Rext?"
Rambil asked politly (hmm, no, I can't spell..) Rext thought for a moment, and then replied
"Not really, just waiting till you woke up."
Rambil gave her a confussed look, and answered blankly
"Well, then if you don't mind, I'll be on my way."
Rambil turned to the left, which would eventually lead him to where the extra space pods were. I''ve gotta leave before dad realizes I'm up again. Could it have been Ri? Rambil's thoughts dragged on, until he realized that Rext was following him. He stopped and turned to face her. She smiled innocently at him, and asked
"What? I'm just curious as to what you're doing."
"That's none of your business."
Rambil answered coldly. Rext scowled at him and replied
"Look, we need to talk. Matrim and I have been thinking. Rikon is going kinda crazy. I mean, he nearly killed you."
She paused momentarilly, studying his face. Rambil sighed, and replied
"I'm quite aware of that. The head ache I woke up with proves it. My father is going insane, but I won't help you do anything to stop him, he is my father after all."
Rext frowned for a moment and said
"You won't tell him what I-"
"My lips are sealed. I'm leaving anyway."
Rambil cut in. He mentally cursed himself for saying the last bit. Rext's eyes widened,
"Your leaving?"
"Yes, and I'm not telling you where I'm going."
Rext frowned for a moment and then shrugged.
"Fine. But you ever end up joining some new group, we'll tag along. Rikon's really insane...."
"You don't have to tell me twice."
Rext laughed, and then took a firm grip of Rambil's tail. He winced slightly, and said
"You do realize, that my tail hurts just a tad when u do that?"
Rext grinned, and nobbed,
"Just a warning in case u don't call once a week."
Rambil lauged lightly, and nobbed.
"Fine, as long as u leave my tail alone."
"Agreed."

"You do realize that we need to stock up again soon, right Viv? Pleaze say you've found a planet for us to land on."
Yiko complained, as he paced up and down the ship. He wasn't the only saiyan that was getting restless. Hunger did funny things to saiyans.
"Yiko, if you say that one more time, I'm seriously gonna give you the beating of a life time."
Vivta growled in annoyance. Yiko scowled at her and turned away. Vivta sat at the space control system. She was currently typing at the controls, searching for a planet to land on.
"Viv, are you sure you can't find anything? We've passed three planets already that would have been alright to land on."
Ri asked. Daikon nobbed in agreement
"He's right. We can't exactly fight Rikon if we're all half starved."
Gideon and Yiko nobbed eagerly, the thought of food making their stomachs growl.
"Shut up, all of you. You think I'm not hungry either?"
Vivta growled at them. Vegeta frowned, and walked up to stand beside her. Vivta continued searching the computer, scanning for any safe place to land.
"What's wrong with that planet?"
Daikon questioned, coming up to stand on Vivta's other side. She growled in response, again.
"Are you even looking for a place to land?"
Yiko demanded. Vivta didn't reply, but typed a few more things. A section of the universe was enlarged, a red dot glowing. Vivta smirked slightly, and said quietly
"About time."
Vegeta frowned, and looked closer
"That's a week and a half away."
Vivta scowled at him and replied
"I've already set the ship to land on planet Sargonisan. We'll be there in a few minutes."
"Then what's that planet?"
Daikon asked, as he leaned over to look at the computer. His eyes widened, and he said
"Viv, that's the planet where we were...."
Vivta looked at him sharpy, and hissed
"I'm quite aware of that, Daikon, but I'm getting my son back, and that's where Rikon is headed."

Rambil had everything set up for his departure. He just needed to step inside his space pod, close it, and leave. Sighing, Rambil opened the pod, and moved to step inside
"Do you even know where they are?"
Rambil turned around sharply, to see Ally standing only a few feet away.
"What do you want?"
Rambil demanded angrilly? Does Dad know I'm leaving?? If Rikon knew what Rambil was doing, then he was as good as dead.
"No, your father does not know what you're up to. As far as he's concerned, you're still unconsious."
Rambil sighed with relief.
"Then what are you doing here, and stay out of my head."
"I'm here to help you find your brother. I know where they are."
Rambil's eyes widened.
"Then he is my brother?"
Ally smiled and nobbed her head.
"You must help Vivta, she needs all the help she can get."
"Where are they?"
Rambil asked. He now had a destination.
"They'll be on planet Sargonisan soon. If you leave now, you may be able to get there two days after they do."
Rambil frowned, and said
"What do I do when I get there? They won't be there by that time, will they?"
Ally smiled slightly, and replied
"They'll be their, I promise. Now, you'd better leave."
Rambil nobbed his head, and hopped into his space pod, changing course for the planet Sargonisan. Ri, I'm on my way.

"Uh, Malcolumn, isn't that an earth ship's reading?"
A young man questioned. Malcolumn, the man spoken too, nobbed his head with a smile.
"It sure is, boy. Now, lets follow and see what they're up to.
