A/N: Hi, everybody! I'd like to thank every one who reviewed and anyone who reviewed for all of my chapters. You guys rock! And I'd like to give my personal thanks to Flaming red dragon. Thanks for putin' me on your favorites list. (How many times have I thanked you already?)

Disclaimer: Me no owny DB/Z/GT. Okie dokie. Let's get this chapter started.

Chapter 4.

Tiger started using his rescuer's arms and his own scratching post. After finishing, he smiled smugly down at the two dogs. They were barking wildly and trying to get him. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't reach him.

"Vegeta, we-" Goku started.

"Don't move!"

The two Saiyans looked up at who had said that. He was a man in a metal type of armor, pointing a spear/sword thingy at them. His horse was big and white. It snorted, as if wanting to get to something else more fun.

"We've caught you causing trouble for other villagers," he said. "We'll have to take you to the king."

"But we-" Goku started again.

"Silence!" He shouted.

Two of his henchmen tied Goku and Vegeta's hands together and shoved them to the man on the horse. The two Saiyans decided to go along with it, for now. Who knew? Maybe the king would give 'em some food or something. On their way down the street, they left behind a very mean cat.

-------

Tiger had almost forgotten about the dogs ahead. Almost. He looked up and saw them looming over him. He hissed, but didn't do any good. They almost seemed to smile at him before they jumped.

The scared cat jumped out of the way and ran down an ally. The dogs followed but weren't as agile as Tiger.

The ally's end came into view. But there was another ally connected. He rounded the tight curve and almost hit a beggar. The dogs ran around the curve one at a time. The first one made it, but the second crashed into the poor man.

The first dog looked back for a second, but then looked back at the fleeing cat. Another turn up ahead. He watched the cat turn it, and then he followed.

This ally was smaller than the first two. It also had a wooden fence at the end. Tiger quickly looked for another place to run, but found out that he would have to climb the wooden fence. He jumped on it and tried to grip it with his claws. The wood was too smooth!

The dog was almost to the fence. He saw this chase was over. Finally, he got to get the cat! Good thing it couldn't climb the fence.

Tiger extended his claws more, in hopes of finally climbing it. No good. The dog was only three feet away. Make that two feet. There was no place to run. This was the end. The big dog was now below the helpless cat.

Tiger tried harder to climb, but all he was doing was sliding back down. The dog was on its hind legs and had its front legs on the fence, barking loud. The poor kitty fell back down to the ground, but had a soft landing. It was the second dog! He had landed on the second dog!

The first one bit at him, but missed. Tiger jumped on the dog's head, then on a stack of cardboard boxes. The top of the fence was close. He knew he could jump it. Tiger looked back down at them and gave the two one last smug look before jumping over the top.

"This doesn't look like a nice place," Goku observed.

"It isn't," the guard said.

"Then why are you here?" Goku asked.

"It's where I work," the guard said. "This is your cell."

Goku wasn't sure what a cell was because he had never been to prison before. He shrugged and walked in. The guard shut the door behind him, and locked the door.

"Well, it's not a very nice waiting room," He crossed his arms.

"It's not a waiting room, you idiot!" Vegeta said from the next cell.

"Then why are we here?" He asked.

"You ate the queen's ring because you thought it was a type of food!" Vegeta shouted.

"Is that all?"

"No. You also tried on the king's crown!"

"Anything else?"

"Yes. You insulted them both by doing so."

"And?"

"AND NOW WE'RE SENTENCED TO DEATH!!!!!!!"

"Really? I thought he meant-"

"Never mind what you thought!"

Goku crossed his arms and sat down on what was supposed to be his bed. Everybody was interrupting him today. It wasn't his fault he got them sentenced to death! Well, yeah, it was his fault. If only he could think of a way to get them out of there unnoticed....

-------

"Now what do we do?" Goten asked.

"We check out this machine," Trunks replied. "We'll take it to my room and check it out."

Goten wasn't sure why they had to take it to his room, but he didn't ask questions. They picked it up carefully and quietly walked to Trunks' room. It was a pretty good thing Bulma was taking the whole day off.

Trunks ran to the door, after they set the machine on the bed, and closed the door then locked it. This didn't make sense to Goten either. Why did they have to be so secretive about it? Who knew?

"What are we gonna do about it?" The young boy asked.

"We're gonna push some buttons until something works!" Trunks said, excitedly.

"But we might blow it up!" Goten protested.

This hadn't really crossed Trunks' mind. All he wanted to do was to see what it did! He never thought about blowing it up in the process. But Goten was probably right, for once, about them blowing it up if they pushed too many buttons.

"Ok," Trunks said, "we'll just look at it."

This thought seemed to please Goten, because he agreed at once.

-------

Nothing was coming to Goku's mind. All he could think about was food and how hungry he was, but that wasn't going to save them, now was it? He couldn't remember when the king said they were going to die. When he said that, Goku had been choking on the queen's ring!

"Vegeta?" He asked.

"What?" Came the annoyed reply.

"When are we s'possed to die?"

"Late this afternoon."

"Why don't we just use our Saiyan strength to get outta here?"

"How many times do I have to tell you?!" Vegeta almost shouted. "We don't have our Saiyan strength any more. We can still fly, because that has nothing to do with our strength!"

"Wait...." Goku became quiet and thought. "Remember the man who brought us here? He wore shinning armor!"

"And?"

"And if we could find some of it, we could sneak outta here and find a way back to our timeline!"

Vegeta stared at Goku. Who knew such an idiot could come up with such a great plan? The prince should've thought of it. After all, he's smarter!

"Alright, lets go."

"I thought you would like it." Goku pulled a key out of his pocket and unlocked his door.

"Where'd you find that key?" Vegeta asked as Goku unlocked his door.

"I took it from the guard when he wasn't looking," He said. "You always said it was a useless talent."

With the two Saiyans free, they set off in search of some armor.

-------

Tiger landed on the other side of the fence. Nothing much was there. He walked along and looked at various cats. One seemed to interest him. She was a beautiful white cat with long fur. The tip of her tail was brown, along with her ears and one paw.

Tiger knew he had a job to do first. He would just come back for her later. He ran along until he came to a pasture. Cows were grazing. He looked back to make sure the kitty was watching him. Sure enough, she was.

Tiger ducked under the fence and ran through the pasture. A few cows looked up, but most ignored him. One that spotted him was a bull. This certain bull didn't like small animals in HIS pasture with HIS cows.

The bull trotted towards Tiger, in hopes of scaring him away. The cat looked back to see if the girl kitty was watching, but what he saw wasn't the kitty, it was a bull! Tiger ran as fast as he could, but couldn't out run the bull.

The fence to the outside of the pasture was getting closer. He tried to run faster, but couldn't. The bull was catching up fast. Tiger was almost to the other fence. Just... about... there.... made it!! He knew he was safe, but kept running anyway. No more bulls for him. If saving those two guys was going to be this hard, maybe he should just turn around and go home.

-------

A/N: Well, what's Tiger gonna end up doin'? How will Goku's plan work out? Will Trunks and Goten ever figure out what the machine does?! You'll have to stick around and find out!
