Chapter Eight: Introductions and Revelations

The table was silent as Vegeta walked through the door. He was a short man with pointy black hair that seemed to have been cut recently. He was very muscled and dressed in a black vest with black jeans. Washu followed him into the room. Then Mihoshi trailed behind.

"Ok, Prince Vegeta, I'll introduce you. Now, this is Tenchi's house. That is Tenchi." She pointed to the teenage boy with brown hair and brown eyes. He seemed agitated.

"And he lives with his father, Nobouki Masaki..." She pointed to the man wearing glasses and a moustache.

"And his grandfather, Katsuhito Masaki, who is outside at the shrine. Now, I am Washu Hakubi, the greatest scientific genius in the universe and this is Princess Ayeka of the Planet Jurai, and her sister Princess Sasami. Oh, you've already met Officer Mihoshi Kuramitzu of the Galaxy Police. Oh yes, how could I forget, this little cutie is Ryo-ohki." She explained, picking up Ryo-Ohki. "She's a cabbit you know."

"Everyone, this is Prince Vegeta. He's a Saiyan."

Everyone was silent.

"Come and join us for dinner, Sasami, are there any more noodles left?"

"There might be a bit. I'm not sure..." She rushed off to check.

"Sit down" Washu smiled.

Sasami came back with the noodles.

"Sorry if they're a bit cold." She apologised.

Vegeta grunted in thanks. He felt awkward in this place.

"So," Ayeka began, "You're a Prince?"

Vegeta sighed impatiently.

"Yes. I am the Saiyan Prince."

"May I ask what planet you are Prince of?" Ayeka continued

"The planet Vegeta."

"I thought that the Planet Vegeta was destroyed in a meteor shower?" Ayeka queried.

"Well I heard that the Saiyans blew it up themselves." Mihoshi added.

Vegeta exploded. He stood up.

"The planet Vegeta was destroyed by a vicious tyrant named Freeza! Those stupid rumours you thought were true just happen to be cover ups thrown about by his pathetic followers! To think that such a strong planet could destroyed by a mere meteor shower is ludicrous!"

The room was silent. Tenchi and Sasami exchanged nervous looks. Vegeta was about to storm out of the house when...

"Hey, what's all the noise about down here?"Ryoko padded down the stairs rubbing her eyes. She yawned. She opened her amber yellow eyes. In front of her stood a man with an angry expression on his face. He had a large Neanderthal forehead and dark eyes. He was staring at her.

"Who .. who's this?" She asked, taking a step back.

"He is Prince Vegeta." Washu said bluntly.

"Vegeta?" Ryoko repeated in a rather confused tone.

Suddenly she gripped her head, almost pulling out her pointy greenish-blue hair.

She screamed helplessly and fell to the floor.

"Ryoko!" Tenchi cried as he lunged forward to help her.

Vegeta watched fascinated, his anger soon fading.

"Get out of my head!!!" Ryoko screamed suddenly as she floated up in the air and teleported out of sight. Vegeta sensed her power level. She was the one. The one from the town.

"I have found her. She is the power I had sensed." He said to Washu. "You," He pointed to Washu. "you knew that I was looking for her."

He flew up and burst through the ceiling.

"Hey!" Tenchi yelled. "Oh man, our ceiling!"

Vegeta lost track of the power level. She is hiding it, he thought to himself.

He powered up to Super Saiyan, his jet black hair became golden yellow and his dark eyes became a light turquoise-blue.

"Show yourself you coward!" He yelled.

"Wait!" Washu shouted from the stairs. She rushed forward. "Please don't hurt her!"

"Why not, she is a threat to everyone on this planet. It is my duty to my family to stop her, and if I do beat her I will become stronger than ever!"

"You can't!" Washu screamed, "You don't understand who she is!"

"Oh really, and who is she then?" He asked, sarcastically

"She is a Saiyan!"
