Author Note: This is being re-edited the same time as the first chapter and the third. ! Yes at one point I did have the entire story completed and on my computer. ! But now my father decided to wipe out my computer, so anything that wasn't on is gone. I'm a little motiveless right now but I'll re-edit this chapter and chapter 1, and post a third chapter. For the mean time that is all I can do for now.

Chapter 2

Unknown Fates

By: AraminRain

Princess Bra looked at her self in the mirror and smiled in satisfaction. There was a slow knock on her door. She went to the door and pushed 4 numbers on the pad, opening the door and revealing Alex carrying a woman. Bra raised a brow and looked back at Alex.

"Princess Bra, may I bring her in?"

Bra nodded and stood away from the door and watched Alex carry the lady in, "Who is she?"

Alex placed the unconscious figure on the bed, "Princess Son Pan."

Bra smiled not really paying attention to what he had said, "Oh sure you can bring Princess Son Pan in. Wait, did I hear you correctly? Did you say Son?"

Alex gestured to the unconscious Pan, "Princess Bra, that is what I said."

Bra screamed, "What did my brother do now?"

"He said he'll tell you later."

Bra exited out of the room and motioned Alex to follow her, "Forget him! I want answers now!"

Alex followed her and the metal door closed behind them, "Will she be okay in there?"

Bra continued to walk to the control center, "If you mean if she'll escape. She can't."

A man with black short hair walked up to them and bowed to the Princess, "Princess Bra, good to see you."

Bra smiled and nodded, "Same here, Ronan. Would you like to accompany us to go and demand answers from my pig headed brother?"

Ronan smirked, "Most certainty!"

No one would miss the Prince being knocked down a couple of levels by his sister. They shared a small laugh before, all, continuing to the control center. Like Alex, Ronan was another person that the royal children grew up with and trusted with their lives.

They came to another door with four guards, all wearing the mandatory uniform, blocking the door. Princess Bra motioned for them to move and they did as she commanded. One opened the door to the center.

Bra walked to the center of the room with her tail tapping rapidly against the floor under her pale cerulean dress.

Everyone turned their attention to her and Trunks came up to greet her, "Sister?"

"Why do have Princess Son Pan here? I want an answer and I want it now!"

Prince Trunks gave a cocky smile and a teenage boy walked up to them and bowed numerously, "Beg your pardon, Prince Trunks, but sources tell us that not all official ships were upon the planet before the laser hit it."

Prince Trunks smirked, "Well when they get back to their precious Earth, they'll never know what him them, or should I say what hit their planet!"

Bra looked in awe at her brother, "You did what!? You took the Princess off her planet and then destroyed it!!!"

The cocky prince shrugged, "She wouldn't give me the correct answer. I wasn't bluffing when I said that I would blow up the planet."

Bra walked up to him and slapped him hard across the face. The entire room when silent and it seemed as some people recoiled. The smile fell of Prince Trunks's face and he frowned. Princess Bra held her hand in a fist and aimed at him. After keeping that pose for a few seconds she dropped her hand and looked down.

Princess Bra had lost something too…something so dear to her. She turned and left the room with tears threatening to burst from her eyes. Trunks's eyes widened and he gave a glare to everyone else as if it was their fault. He ran after her and caught up with her in the hall. His arms enveloped her in a hug and she cried on him.

"You…you had to destroy something mom loved most. Her home planet. I can't believe you would do something like that."

Trunks looked away, "…I'm sorry."

"You aren't sorry, Trunks. To you it was the right decision, you don't see anything else."

He held her, rubbing her back, "Lets go to my room and we can finish discussing matters."

Pan

Pan

Pan looked around her to find nothing. Just darkness and extreme cold.

Pan

The voice kept calling to her and she looked down to find darkness. She dare not move fearing that she would fall into the endless pit.

"What?" she voice replied, quivering with fear.

A woman appeared in front of her, "Pan-chan…"

Pan stared in wonder, "Whom…?"

The woman nodded, "I am here to tell you something important."

Pan nodded finally realizing that the woman had no face, "I'm listening."

The faceless woman smiled, "Prince Trunks wanted an item called the Relic of DarkNeferia. It is a destructive object if fallen into the wrong hands. This isn't the time to be revengeful. You have seen the Relic. I know of the time when Dr. Trok't died but before he did he begged for you to place a golden rod, your little stuff, and two of those everlasting flowers in a glass ball and not to tell anyone where you hid it. That rod is the Relic. The rod is nearly indestructible and has transported the glass ball to another planet on its own power. The Relic has powers that are unimaginable and in times like this it hides itself from power controlling warlords. The only reason the Prince was risking in destroying Earth was that he knew it wouldn't destroy the Relic. Find it! You are very important in the near future and I need you to be strong. All this may be very vague but in time it will come clear. Be strong."

Pan screamed as the woman started to fade, "What the fuck! Don't leave me, dammit! I don't know what you are talking about!!"

Pan woke up, startled. She noticed the blankets were wet with her tears.

Blankets?

The Princess blinked and looked at her surroundings. She was in a room…a very elegant room. Almost everything was in a light blue and there were discarded clothing upon a chair, across from her. The words from her dream lingered in her head and then she remembered her planet.

"Mother, father…"

She bit back tears and something sprang in her head,

Goten, Ryan, and Cakoni are on Fruk'dt!! They survived!

Pan raced to the door and banged on it relentlessly.

It should give! Dammit! It is Saiyan proof!

"Let me out!" she repeatedly screamed. Then she heard a muffled noise and her Saiyan hearing picked up a woman's voice, "Okay stop banging! Get away from the door and sit on the bed, dammit."

Pan did as she was told and stepped away from the door and sat on the massive bed. The door slid open and a blue hair maiden and three men stood behind her. The blue haired woman smiled a smile that made Pan relax, a little. They moved into the room, the door closing behind them. The woman came the closest, to the edge of the bed.

Pan glared as all four of them walked in. A man with dirty blonde hair, a man with black hair, and the Prince followed the woman. The woman bowed deeply in front of Pan when she notice Pan glaring straight at her brother, "The terms we meet in aren't as great as I hoped they would be."

Now there were two women glaring at Trunks and he glared back. Bra continued with her calming but not patronizing tone, "Princess Bra…at your service, Princess Son. I hope to give you anything you need, but I need you to promise you will not cause trouble on this ship."

Pan nodded glared at Prince Trunks, acknowledging his presence. Alex and Ronan came up front and smiled as Bra had privately order earlier. Alex bowed, "Princess, I'm am Alex Nirota and my friend is Ronan Kreot. I hope we can be of service."

Pan stumble on her words, not knowing whether she should be kind, "Out of respect and the way I was raised I thank you for your offer but your help is not needed."

Prince Trunks smirked and chuckled at her response but Ronan and Alex seemed astonished. Princess Bra glared at her brother before looking back at Pan, "Believe me, Princess, I would have never let this happen…my mother would never had either. I am deeply sorry for my brother's decision."

Pan nodded but her expression was still an angry one, "I don't place any blame on you. I have heard you and your mother were the only people in your kingdom that had an actual heart."

The Princess motioned for the others to leave, but the Prince stayed, "I need you to get out, Trunks."

Prince Trunks took one last look at Pan before leaving, sending shivers down her spine. The door closed and Bra smiled, "Well that is nice to hear, but unfortunately I strive for power as much as my brother although I did get more of the sensitive side. Now we may talk like ladies. I only know too well what you are going through right now. You hide your feelings well. Having lost your parents to my brother. Greed has consumed him and he wishes to be the most powerful out of the universe. I will not let any harm get to you, I'll promise you that. And neither will Ronan and Alex for they are under my command."

Pan, for the first time, smiled. This woman…was very open and kind, "Thank you. Princess, where are we heading?"

Bra went to a large closest and looked through it and talking to Pan at the same time, "I think we may be heading back to Vegeta-sei, probably the last place you want to see now. Please call me Bra, I get too much of the whole 'Princess' thing already. You also need a new dress, I see that you are still in your nightgown."

Pan bit her bottom lip, "You may call me Pan, then, but do you have any pants?"

Bra came out of the closet with a simple red dress, "Sorry, Pan. I have those back at home."

Pan looked at the dress in Bra's hands, "Fine that'll do."

Bra handed her the dress and pointed to another door, "Enter there to change. Please hurry I have something important to discuss with you."

Pan nodded and entered the room and changed. After she changed she looked at her self in the mirror of the bathroom and smoothed her hair. She came out and Bra clapped, "Fits you perfectly."

Pan bowed, "Thank you. Now what was it that you wanted to talk to me about?"

"Your Uncle," Bra said hastily.

Pan's eyes went wide, "Why do you want to talk about my Uncle?"

"We are lovers for about five years now. (AN: You can just imagine Pan's expression right now.) When Trunks and I came down to spy on your father's armies and I would meet your uncle at night. Now I fear that he has perished, but I heard that ships left the night you were kidnapped."

"Yes, he was upon the ship, but a relationship with him is almost impossible."

"Anything is possible with love, remember that. Your uncle was so passionate and caring towards me. Please blame me if you are angry of what has been happening."

Pan sighed, "I'm disappointed but you must have been the girl he would talk about that made him so happy. Goten was one of my few friends I was allowed to have and I was glad that he was happy. Although I want to know, how did you guys know I existed? My identity was kept secret…"

Bra interrupted, "…for 23 years. Your uncle told me of you but I never told anyone but for a whole year my brother sent a spy, a girl name Cleri, to become a maid in your home. That's when we found out you were the Princess."

"Now that you mention it, the maid, Natasha as we called her, was always keeping to herself but never the less was or seemed very loyal. It was a disappointment when she disappeared. But I'm no fool, she was one of the three that kidnapped me along with the one they call Alex. The last I don't know."

Bra nodded, "The last is Hitoya who is floating around somewhere in this craft."

Pan's stomach grumbled, "Heh, sorry, I guess I'm hungry."

Bra laughed, "Just like Goten."

Bra walked towards the door and punched in the numbers 3241 and Pan made a mental note of that. The door slid open and they walked down the steel corridors, Bra was explaining where everything was.

Bra turned right and they came to a room that had a medium sized table on it. Pan walked in and smelled the food that was being prepared. She looked to the table to find no other than the cocky Prince Trunks smirking at her. Pan, for the second time, let her body shiver under his look. Bra spoke to the chef and left without saying a word to Pan. Pan watched in amazement as she hastily left the dinning hall. Pan took a seat across from the Prince and kept her gaze focus on the wooden table.

She could feel his gaze piercing through her. Pan glanced up and met his gaze with daggers. He looked at her, surprised that she would compete with him, yet her eyes still held fear in them. He had thought her beautiful when she came in but now in her sister's red dress she looked marvelous.

Pan snapped at him, "What are you looking at?"

Prince Trunks scowled, he would not let her defy him, "You should be scared of me, Hime, just like everyone else."

The Japanese word 'Hime' rolled off his tongue naturally and Pan started to get peeved. Pan knew how to speak Japanese fluently but ever since the Galactic tongue became the official universal language, all other languages died out. Japanese, Chinese and English were the main tongues of Earth and all had now become legends. Four times he had called her that and it was beginning to get annoying but she wasn't about to argue for she was quite tired and hungry. Her own tail, which she kept tightly wrapped around her waste, peeked out from the bottom of the dress and tapped on the floor a few times.

A soldier came over and placed a huge plate of food next to Pan and one next to Trunks. He went off to talk with his friend who was waiting about the door, "I bet ya she is going to the whore house like the others."

Pan growled, her Saiyan hearing had let her enjoy ease dropping. The Prince consumed some food before looking back up at her, "Are you going to eat? Even if you are a Saiyan I'm beginning to doubt that you can eat like one."

Pan picked up a fork that was next to her and replied, "I was just making sure I wasn't going to get poisoned. Hey is the kitchen open at night?"

The prince grew aggravated at the little respect she was giving to him, "When you speak to me you address my as Prince Trunks or some other worthy royal title."

Pan swallowed the food that was in her mouth, "You're not worthy of anything, Prince Trunks."

"Watch it, Hime. You'll see what will happen if you carry on."

"Try me."

Prince Trunks growled and left the kitchen in frustration, leaving a full plate. A Saiyan never leaves a plate full.

"I didn't get my answer…oh well!" Pan said to herself before continuing her meal.

The Prince walked briskly down the hall where he bumped into Alex who was turning a corner. Alex bowed and noticed the Prince's mood was not all so great, "Are you going to let the Princess just run around the space ship, my lord?"

The Prince narrowed his eyes at him, "I highly doubt she knows the true potential of her skill and she won't do much to jeopardize her own life. She probably thinks that I have no use for her now that I blew up that pathetic planet of hers."

Alex looked at him slightly befuddled, "Then you are going to use her for something besides being a common play thing?"

Prince Trunks ran his hand through his hair, "Of course. I can't kill her, so I can use her knowledge, if she has any, to my advantage to build new weapons and such. To tell you the truth I'm leaning towards debating if I should mate with her."

Alex's look was one of pure astonishment, "M-mating with her? She most likely won't go willingly."

"I can get into that woman's head and push all the right buttons, trust me, she'll come easily if not willingly. Ahh! She is on my nerves! What an insolent woman! No respect for me, whatsoever."

Alex cringed, "Why would you expect her to give you any respect? You did kidnap her."

The Prince grunted and continued down the hall, yelling back, "If you spot that little demon make sure to bring her back to my sister's chambers."

Alex watched him go and went to the kitchens. He then spotted Pan holding out an apple to her tail. Her ebony tail swayed back and forth before taking hold of the apple. Pan took another apple from the basket in the middle of the table and munched on it. Fresh fruit like apples were rare on the Earth planet. All fresh fruit had to be imported at a high price. Alex looked at her thinking that her behavior was strange. She spotted the look and smiled, "Hello."

Alex smirked, "Eh…Hi. Why'd you give your tail an apple?"

The Princess chuckled, "To hang to it for later. I don't know how long that Prince might keep me confined somewhere like the dungeons. Have you seen Princess Bra?"

Alex shook his head, "I was supposed to take you back to the Princess's Chambers, and you'll probably stay there till dinner."

Pan narrowed her eyes, "If I must…" She grabbed a few more piece of fruit from the basket and tossed a few to Alex, "You are gonna help me carry these things to the room."

Alex looked at the fruit then at her then at the fruit again and nodded. He left the kitchen with her following behind him. He hesitated to ask as they came close to the chambers, "You…you won't do anything bad will you?"

Princess Pan finished her apple and tossed the core into one of the many wastebaskets in the hall, "Now would I tell you IF I was going to do something bad?"

Alex shrugged and she continued to speak.

"If you must know, no. And you can go and tell your 'happy' Prince that too. Everything in this damn ship is Saiyan-proof."

Alex smiled and punched in a few numbers on a pad next to the Princess's Chambers, "Well here we are. Be good and Bra will be around soon, I think."

He handed her back the fruit he was carrying and she entered the chamber, the door closing as soon as she entered. She placed the fruit on the bed and yawned.

My life has taken a drastic change. Those who born me, those who raised me, those who helped me…all gone. All gone…the Prince could have destroyed that planet anytime he wanted and yet we never knew.

Tears welled up in the dark orbs of the Princess as she stared at the wall.

Yet…I could have saved them, all of them. At least, for a little longer…if I knew what the relic was when he asked. It is in the indestructible orb with my few trinkets and two everlasting roses…in the garden…under the cherry tree…I knew where it was…

How am I supposed to find that Relic if it has transported itself? I'm being held captive by the fruity tooty Prince and I'm supposed to find it?!

Princess Pan screamed in frustration, not only had her parents had died but her only chance of escaping was her Uncle and he would think that she'd be dead. A Saiyan never shows feeling is what she kept on repeating in her head. She knew that the Prince was strong and he would find any way to weaken her if he had to, but she wasn't going to go down without a fight. She felt something prick her neck and an unusual feeling around her. She went to the full-length mirror and looked at herself completely amazed. Her ki level had spiked up so much that she now had the presence of a strong aura around her.

Interesting…were did all this power come from?

Pan knew she had potential for power…and even more now. But she was untrained in most areas. Her mind quickly plotted her revenge on the Prince. At first she thought that the only way her pain could settle is if she killed him. The sight of his blood made her body shiver in excitement.

Her human side calmed it down and she shook her head.

Pan shook her head, "Okay can't seek revenge…in death. Maybe I can in other ways."

She smirked at herself in the mirror and turned back to the closet and walked into it. She searched around a bit through hangers, boxes, and drawers. She finally pulled out a red gi along with Saiyan armor, out of one of the boxes. The articles of clothing looked like they've never been worn and Pan figured that that Princess of Saiyans must not train too often. Pan took off the dress and laid it neatly on the bed and changed into the gi and armor.

Nice fit.

She took a deep breath and walked to the door and eyed the panel next to it, curiously. Then she punched in the numbers: 3241.

Idiots think I will actually stay in this room 'til dinner? I say not!

The Princess stepped away as the Saiyan proof door slid open, granting access to the main hallway. She beamed and stepped out of the room and walked east, down the hall. Pan went probing around for the training room, taking it that they actually had one on the spacecraft. Fortunately and unfortunately she hadn't spotted any guards anywhere, but she was getting tired of wandering around.

Now, you'd expect more security around here…

Her ears picked up someone running towards her from behind. Going with her instincts, she swiftly turned around and into a fighting position, but only to be collided into. The collision had only made her stumble backwards a few paces while her attacker lay sprawled on the ground. She looked down to see a teenage boy with greenish-black hair quickly getting up and bowing, in embarrassment. The boy rubbed his forehead, "P-princess! I'm so sorry to have run into you! Please forgive me, don't hurt me."

Pan straightened up and gave a friendly smile, "No it's quite alright and I neither have the power or right to hurt you. So why are you in such a hurry?"

"There was a spar being held between the Prince and Lord Alex, but I fear it is almost over. If I'm lucky there will be another challenger fighting most likely the Prince."

Pan raised a brow and beckoned him to move forward, "Well we can go together then."

"Sure, but, we'll have to hurry if you don't mind."

Pan nodded and the boy took off running down the halls with Pan right behind him. He stopped at a very large steel door in which the boy pressed the button next to it. The door open and out erupted cheers from spectators. The boy took off to his own friends that seemed to be waiting for him and watching at the same time.

Pan instead, made her way through the crowd to get a better look. The Prince had just given the final blow to Alex that knocked him out and rose more cheering from the crowd. The Prince placed his sword back into its cover and a guard picked up Alex's sword from the ground.

Swords? They were battling with swords? That's something new.

Pan looked around to see that the training room was very large and dome-shaped. She gazed at Alex who was being carried by two men out of the training room. As Alex passed her, she saw that he had a tail dragging limply behind him.

Neat. I didn't know he was Saiyan

When she turned her attention back to the Prince he was already looking straight at her. Still keeping his full focus on her, he announced, "Anyone wish to challenge me? Hime?"

Pan took a step forward causing the crowd to settle down. The Prince chuckled, "So, Hime, are you going to challenge me?"

"What do you think?" She heard some gasps from the spectators and kept her tongue from adding, 'ugly bastard' to the end of her response.

Trunks motioned her to come forward, "In case some of you don't know, this here is the Princess of Earth. Son Pan."

Murmurs rushed through the crowd as Pan walked up in the middle of the room, giving herself distance between her and the Prince. Trunks showed off a dazzling smile, "Hime, which do you prefer to battle with? Steel or fists?"

"Steel, it makes you bleed more."

Trunks took out his sword and motioned the guard to bring up Alex's sword, "I like the way you think, Hime."

Pan took the sword and tested it out by tossing it up in the air and catching it by the hilt. It was a heavy sword but she could deal with it, "Don't call me Hime."

"Why not, Hime?"

"I'll kill you."

Trunks shifted his position, "Enough talk, let's fight."

They both bowed, Pan not bowing any lower than she needed to and they charged with their swords in front of them. The blades clashed and the Prince quickly withdrew his and slashed in the area of her stomach. Pan blocked it and went for his shoulder

Cheers and jeers still exploded from the crowd as they watched the Prince and Princess battle it out, in front of them.

Trunks continuously blocked and delivered his own treatment to her and he could tell she was beginning to weaken. The blade was quite heavy for someone her size but either way he thought she would be able to take it. Soon her body and eyes looked worn out and the damage she was dealing was beginning to be almost no damage at all.

The battle had only started and then out of nowhere Pan had a sudden outburst of strength. She came at him almost surprisingly, slashing bits and pieces of his clothing. He looked and her awkwardly and smirked. They were almost hitting hit for hit but Trunks still had the advantage. Pan charged at him but as soon as she got close for a hit she dropped down and slashed his legs causing him to jump up in pain. Then she took her chance to slash him deeply across the chest and kick him down. The slash was effective but the kick wasn't and instead she was sprawled on the floor, bouncing off him.

He aimed for her laying figure on the floor but she rolled just in time that he cut the tip of her hair. He kept up with his assault and she was rolling from side to side. She quickly took her sword and thrust it upwards coming in contact with his sword. She jumped back up and started hitting blow for blow with him. Again, it was only a burst of power for a short while and she went back to the weak hits. He had to admit that she was very skilled but the weight of the large blade took a tremendous toll on her. He powered up even more and blasted into Super Saiyan 2, wanting to end her now pathetic attempts to attack him.

Amazement passed through everyone's faces as they watched their Prince in a state beyond the Legendary form. Even Pan stopped her attacks to look at him and that's when he took his chance and sliced her arm with his sword then hit her head with the side of it. She let out a scream as the hot metal hit her. She hit the cold steel with a sickening thud and lay there unconscious. The Prince powered down to his normal form and took her sword out of her hand.

Cheers again became louder as he picked up the Princess and carried her in his arms. Cleri and Hitoya emerged from the crowd, bowing in front of Trunks.

Cleri let out one of her charming smiles, "My lord, do you need anything? A physician to treat your wounds and hers?"

Hitoya instead gave a hearty laugh, "Good show, Sir! The best time I have ever had on this bloody ship, that for sure."

The Prince smiled, "Cleri, just make sure our physician is on standby. I might not be needing any help soon. By the way how's Alex?"

Cleri looked over Pan and winced as her eyes came across a deep wound on her shoulder from the final attack. Hitoya answered, "He's doing just spiffy. He came around once then faded out again, I tell ya. Only minor cuts and bruises done to him…well maybe except for that you may have broken his thumb."

Trunks saw a few tear drops of blood fell from Pan's wound and then looked up to see everyone filling out of the room and back to their initial work.

He nodded to Cleri and handed the sword to Hitoya, "I'll be in my chambers if anything comes up. Go enjoy the rest of your day, if there is anything to enjoy in this hunk of metal."

They bowed and left. Trunks looked down at her and somewhat of a perplexed look passed his face. He walked out of the training room and towards his own chambers.

The Prince shifted her to one arm and used the other to pull down the blankets on his bed. He placed her gently on the silk sheets and went to a small cabinet next to the king-sized bed. Trunks rummaged through the cabinet until he found a tin box. Placing the tin box on the bed he opened it and took out cloth bandages and antiseptic. He looked back at her then at the bandages then back to her again.

…Now what am I going to do…

He took her Saiyan armor off then started removing the other items of clothing she wore. After he had finished the task he placed the clothing to the side and placed both his hands on her right arm. He delicately felt her arm to see where it had broken and then went on to the other, to check for any damage. Trunks moved his hands moved to her torso to find a broken lower rib. He continued checking for any other signs of serious damage to her body but found none except for the gash in her left arm. Her went back to the tin and took out a wrapped up piece of long cloth and carefully placed it around her neck and broken arm then tying it securely.

Blood dripped for the wound on her arm and he cleaned it with antiseptic and then bandaged it tightly. He thought for a brief moment on how to fasten the bandage around her torso where the broken rib was. The Prince eventually found a way and wrapped the rest of the bandaging around her torso. He looked down at his hands to see that they were bloodied and went to the bathroom to clean them off. Trunks brought a wet cloth back with him and cleaned the rest of the minor scrapes.

He placed everything back in to the cabinet and cover the Princess up with a silk blue blanket. He took another cloth and wiped down his wounds and changed his clothing. Exhausted from the past event he left the room and back to the kitchen to replenish his appetite.

It's all apart of my plan…

(On planet Crecontar)

A tiny red man walked on the red carpet towards the King who sat on his throne. Tiny identical blue soldiers, wearing armor, were lined on either side of the carpet, looking suspiciously at the large glass orb the red man rolled down the carpet. The orb was twice the tiny man's size. The King watched as the red man tried to bow with the large orb in his hands.

"Your Majesty, I have come upon this orb containing bizarre objects in it. I, a Master of Glass and Gold, have not found any cut or hairline of a crack on this orb. I thought you Majesty would appreciate me showing you."

The King nodded and the red man brought the orb up to the King. The orb was very large and the King could barely hold on to it. He peered through the glass to see a box, two vials containing flowers, and a silver rod. The rod's height was not as wide as the orb, which looked as if the diameter was 2 feet. Golden serpent withered around the rod up to the top where the mouths of the serpents held a purplish round jewel. Each of the serpents eyes were filled in with rubies and tiny emeralds embedded the scales of both.

The King's eyes grew larger as he gazed at the rod. A decrepit man with slits for eyes and holes for ears, as if half snake, was at the King's side and also gazing at the rod, "Ssssire, the DarkNeferia. The powersss of the universssse are confined within."

The King's eyes were full of greed. He waddled from his throne, carrying the heavy orb. He lifted it over his head with slowly and then let it fall down in front of it. The glass did not break like he expected it to but merely hit the ground and rolled for a bit before coming to a stop. The King took out his sword and slashed at it but the sword soon broke.

"I must open this! Guards! Gather the demolition team, mages, and weaponry from all of the countryside. I will not rest until I get the rod!"

Back at the Vegeta-sei Voyager

"So how did the fight with your Princess go? I was quite appalled when Hitoya busted into my room just after I started to come around and told me what had been happening."

The Prince shot a glare at his life-long friend, sitting to the right of him, "She is not my Princes. Just and annoying brat. Unless you don't want to end up like her, I suggest you keep your mouth shut."

Alex, who had quickly regained consciousness after Princess Pan's defeat, seemingly ignored the Prince's remark, "I heard it was quite a show. Both matching hit for hit and she pulled some good ones on you. I heard you even went Super Saiyan 2."

Trunks drunk a sweet cordial from the glass next to him, "I only wanted to show her the true extent of the power of a Saiyan and to end it all much quicker."

"The scientists and historic scribes will be most interested to see the first female Super Saiyan in nearly a thousand years. That's if you ever let her reach such a level. And I thought only Royalty could transform to the Legendary levels."

Trunks emitted a deep growl, "Hold you tongue, Alex. It is an utter disgrace for such a transformation to occur for someone who is not worthy! Her grandfather was the first and he was nothing but a third-class scum!"

"Now, now, Trunks, don't need to be turning into your father," Cleri chimed, entering the dinning room with Hitoya following behind.

Trunks snorted and crossed his arms. Cleri sat next to Alex and stroked his cheek fondly, "Nice to see you up so soon, dear Alexander."

Alex turned away, a small tint of pink rising across his cheeks. Hitoya laughed at Alex and took the seat to the Prince's left.

Cleri turned her attention back to the Prince, "Well what did you do with the Princess for the last almost two hours, in your room? I heard you never called on the physician to tend to her wounds."

Hitoya joined in, seeing that some of this was getting to Trunks, "Yeah, what did you do? Did you just leave her to die in your room?"

"Silence! I took care of her wounds myself. End of discussion!"

Cleri tapped her fingers against the table, "Now why would the Prince do something like that? To take a peek on what the Princess of Earth has to offer? Tsk, tsk."

"Cleri, I said end of discussion!"

"But you never said I couldn't start a new one."

Cleri held a triumphant smile while Alex and Hitoya chuckled.

"Damn you all. What is it with you guys and the Princess and me?" Trunks cursed.

Ronan walked in and saw the Prince's face red with anger and approached him with caution and respect. He bowed and waited for any orders from his Prince.

"Current status on my sister, Ronan."

He took a seat next to Hitoya, "She left 3 hours ago and is heading towards Vegeta-sei on full speed. Estimated time till she arrives is one week. She is the only one traveling in the pod with 3 weeks of supplies."

Hitoya grunted, "Blast those ruddy communicators. We wouldn't have to send the Princess out if someone on this damn flingin' metal could fix the communicators!"

Waiter brought in dishes and goblets filled with wine to the five at the table. They ate, all the while concentrating on what Hitoya had said. All of the dishes were similar to each other except Alex's, which contained grilled catfish with milk, garlic, salt, and pepper. It gave off a rancid smell that made everyone in the room cringe.

Alex to a small vial from his jacket pocket that contained a greenish liquid, "Well we can always ask the Earth Princess if she can fix it. She studied under the same mentor as your mother did. And the only one that can fix the communicators was your mother."

The Prince chewed on a piece of steak and nodded at Alex. Cleri's eyes watered a little bit as a result from being so close to Alex's meal, "Doesn't the Rejuvenation Tank, back on Vegeta-sei, need fixing? She can help on that too."

Alex pulled that cap off the vial that made a popping noise and poured the liquid into his wine. Cleri stopped eating to question him, "What are you doing?"

Alex simply replied, "Getting' my ears back. Watch."

He drank every sweet drop of wine from his goblet and licked his lips. Everyone watched him carefully as he groaned and clutched his stomach. When Cleri moved to help him he placed up his hand to stop her and then groaned again.

The human ears on the side of his head slowly disappeared causing Alex to send out a tiger-like roar. In replace of his human ears, two furry cat-like ears appeared on the top of his head. Alex shook his head, the ears twitching.

"Oh…Bra finally found the antidote to the potion you took to make you look like a human, right?"

Alex nodded as he grinned from ear to ear, "I took half of the vial this morning so I got my tail back."

He grabbed his tail gently. The tail was similar to a Saiyan's but it was slightly shorter and furrier.

Ronan plugged his nose with two fingers and looked at Alex's plate, disgustedly, "I don't see how you can eat that, Alex. I might have to start eating with the guards if you keep ordering that."

Alex inhaled the pungent scent of the fish on his plate, "Hey, I'm a Cat-jin. I can't help it. It tastes so wonderful and the fish smells so refreshing."

His ears twitched with delight and his mouth started to drool. Hitoya's face became twisted, just watching him, "Then eat the ruddy fish, already! The fasta that rotten catastrophe is disposed of the sooner we can have some fresh air."

With that, Alex took a fork and started devouring his meal, starting with the tail.
