For The Love Of A Pirate Prince Chapter
4: Return of the Prince
"Hault!" Prince Trunks shouted to the band of men behind him.
There… just up ahead of them was the tall white castle in which the Princess they tried to capture lay. Trunks eyes narrowed at the bitter memory of the cloaked warrior who had stopped him from taking the Princess merely months ago.
'This time I shalln't fail. I'll avenge my honor and pride.' The Prince vowed to himself as he looked over to his father who sat tall upon his black stallion beside him. His eyes dark with something unbenowst to him. But it did not matter. What was there was quickly gone and he barked his first order to the small army of fighters.
"Today is a day that our dearest trateror, Gohan, shall be giving his precious daughter's hand and marriage over to a Prince from the far shores. But our dear enemy shall not see such an event for we are going to stop the wedding by taking her. Those of you staying to fight on ground, you can't fail us for we need all of the castles help draged away from the Princess. Those of you fighting your way inside you can't fail those of us going inside to retrieve the Princess otherwise we will all fail." Trunks's father, The Pirate King, stated godly.
The King then looked behind him at the castle sneered.
"Don't forget who all have fallen and all that has suffered because of that King. You must honor your fallen brothern." The Pirate King preeched. "Let's get reclaim our fallen glory and start off by capturing that asshole's daughter, the Princess!" The King bellowed as he kicked his black stallions sides making it jump up on its hind legs, swiftly kicking the air with his front ones.
Then the horse landed back down as the roar of men echoed off into the crisp air and The King and Prince both took off in the direction of the castle. The men behind continuing to shreek out their excitement and readiness for battle as most road behind or ran on foot.
Closer and closer the men and Pirate nobles came to completely closig in the distance of the castle and themselves. Nothing was going to stop them this time. They were too close, too prepared, too determined to fail and go back failures. Or even die failures.
/ At Castle /
Men and guards alike now faced each other in combat. Each of them serving the same purpose. To please, aid and honor their Kings and Kingdom.
Guards fell to the ground as they were thrown around like rag dolls and pirate men were toppled over from the gang of guards that dared to jump them in their desperate situations.
At this point the battle taking place at the gates of the castle grounds was nothing more than a miniture scale war of wills. Currently the King and Prince were scouting the inside of the castle fighting off whatever guard crossed their paths.
"The Princess Chambers are this way!" Trunks shouted over to his father as he kicked the last of the guards back down to the ground unconcious. "He wouldn't keep her there on this day of such occasion my son." The Pirate King replied to him as he began to ran off down the ends of the hall, his son and followers behind him.
"Then where would she be?" Trunks asked confused.
"When I took your mother the morning of her wedding to a young Lord, she was to be found in the middle of the castle somewhere." A tall man who looked like Bardock said over his shoulder to an even younger version of himself. "Are you sure about that dad?" He responded. "I'm positive Goten." He said as he turned his gaze from his son to his King.
He knew for a fact the King was listening it would be only a matter of time before he would say something.
"Fine then it's settled." The King said as he stopped running as they came to an end of the hall that lead to two separate hallways. "Which… way?" Trunks asked not believing he remembered where they were. "Kakarot you say that your woman was found in the middle of the catle right?" The King asked not looking at him.
"Yeah Vegeta, but I don't follow." Kakarot stated as he scrathed his head wondering how what he had siad earlier would help them chose a path.
"Nevermind about trying to understand! Look if the Princess is gonna be found in the middle of the castle then one of these hallways will lead us to her." "Oh I get it now." Goten siad as he was catching on. "Bardock, Goten you two will come with me." Trunks siad monotonly as he didn't even look at them, but faced the way he was going to take.
The Pirate King looked over at his son, but didn't say a word. "Come on Kakarot that leaves us with this hall then." King Vegeta said as he ventured off in the direction he had indicated only moments ago. "Don't fail me boy or else!" Vegeta yelled over his shoulder as he continued his sprint down the hall.
Trunks nodded to his father though he was sure his father would not see it. "Come on you guys. You heard my father. Failure is not an option." Trunks said as he looked back at his men. They nodded to him and they continued their journey through the castle.
/With Trunks and Company/
"This door has to be the one she's in!" Goten yelled to his comrades. "Well it has to…It's the only door left on this hall we haven' t checked yet." Bardock replied. "Brace yourselves!" The Prince yelled as they gathered round and Goten and Bradock ramed down the door.
In the coarse of 15 minutes the three pirates ran out the room Princess in tow.
This time they would not fail. The Prince would make sure of it. His followers would too. Way too much road upon them as they continued to run down the back ways of the castle to get out.
/With Pirate King/
As the Pirate King and his follower kept running down their path they bumped into the reasoning of all this controversy. King Gohan of England and Japan. By noble birthright Prince of Japan and son of Kakarot. To be the right hand to To the King's son Prince Trunks.
As King Gohan stood before the men with narrowed eyes, the Pirate King stood before him with a look of difience and Kakarot just an emotionless stone.
"Father…Vegeta….I would figure as much you would try again to kidnap my daughter." King Gohan said with distaste. King Vegeta simply chuckled. "And boy you think that we would forget?" "I was only wishing so, but I do remember my days as a Saiyan Pirate too and I know you would eventually try again." Gohan replied. "So then why wish upon something so…farfetched?" King Vegeta asked curiously.
"There is nothing with having hope. But I must warn you Vegeta if you suceed in taking my daughter today you'll only be agreeing to the terms of a full scale war to get her back." King Gohan warned seriously. "Then I'll except the war and regain the honor of those you had killed to stay here." King Vegeta stated equally seriously.
"Do you actually think I'm proud of myself for that? It's punishment enough to know I was the cause. But to put my daughter in the middle is creul Vegeta and you know it." Gohan retorted. "And so what if is. Someone has to pay for your crime and I rather it not be your wife, because I've been down that road before." Vegeta replied. "And so taking my only child justifies your actions?" King Gohan growled as he croucthed over into a fighting stance.
"Maybe so." King Vegeta answered just as smogly mirroring Gohan's actions. Kakarot stood still tensing at the site. His son vs his king. Though border lined between who to cheer for a group of coming guards made their presence known as the called roared out at the offending pirates. "Our King we are coming!"
"What are you going to do Vegeta they are loyal to me and you will be out numbered." King Gohan said striaghtening from his stance. "Many lives were lost because you. And amoung them a lot of my men, this shall not be the lastt ime we see each other in battle mock my words." Kign Vegeta said threatenly as the guards turned down their hall watching just in time as the Pirate King sucker punched their King and take off down the hall, Kakarot following closely.
/Outside the Castle/
King Vegeta and his son soon met outside the castle walls. And seeing the Princess in his sons arms the King smirked proudly at his son and called for his men to returned to the ship. The Prince once again ending up the Princess on his horse yet again made off faster than the others so that there was a greater chance of getting her to their ship. His father and subordinates behind him and the other men ranning behind carring the wounded or dead.
The Prince was the first to make it back to their ship, The Mighty Vegeta, and commanded the horse to stop by the docks. As the Prince ran full speed at the ship to get a board Vegeta and the others followed. Each man leaving their horse next to Trunks's and too dashing for the ship. And after them men ran to the ship as fast as their legs could carry them, King Gohans army following them. As most of the men ran past the horses left behind they slapped their butts making the wild beasts ran off toward Gohan's head fighters delaying them on capturing most of the men.
As the last man made it aboard the ship the ship was already at sail and the winds on their side carried them further and further away from the shores of England.
King Gohan dared to ride his mighty horse out to the docks and shout out to the Pirate King, whom he was sure luaghing at his misfortune.
"King Vegeta!! I'll follow you to the hounds of hell for her return. From this day forth there shall be no lands safe for you to hide! So keep my daughter safe as you would yours!"
As the ship started to become no more than a small speck on the vast blue ocean there came a reply.
"Follow us if you dare and relive the life you left. Your daughter shall be cared for, but find and win the battle coming from that then yours she shall be again!" Shouted the Pirate King.
King Gohan said no more, but watched as the ship left his shore and sight praying that he would be able to find his beloved daughter and unite with her once again as will as his wife. As the ship left the horizon King Gohan and his army turned around and headed back to the castle to begin construction of a ship and begin making preporations to get the Princess back.
/At The Docks/
On board the ship men were rushed this way and that to get treatment for their wounds and the Pirate King trying to find a place in which to place the Princess until she regained conciousness. After an hour of serching he settled with putting her in Kakarot's bunk until he could make living space for her. Kakarot never uses his space at all so her didn't mind.
"Are still positive you want her to stay in your room." King Vegeta asked again. "I'm sure. I don't mind sleeping out on deck at night. It's were I usually sleep." Kakarot replied. The King looked at him, but said nothing. "Besides I can always stay with Goten." Kakarot added. "Very well then. When she regains consiousness how her reactions are will determine if she shall need a graud or be chained down unitl we reach the island." King Vegeta said as he placed the Pan down on Kakarot's untouched bed.
"She needs clothing." Vegeta commented noting she was still in her under wedding dress cloths. "We'll find something for her eventually." Kakarot said as he reached over and pulled the cover underneath her over her body.
Kakarot took a moment to look at his first grandchild. She was beautiful in every prospect and Kakarot couldn't help himself in shroking her long curled black hair. "I'll leave you alone then." King Vegeta said as he turned his back and walked out the room and Kakarot turned around and grabbed a stoll and pulled it by the bed and continued to watch his grand daughter rest.
