Chapter 14
Everyone had put on the clothes the maids had given them, apart from Piccolo, who decided to turn stubborn and wear his original clothes. Vegeta came back just in time. All the men (apart from Piccolo) all wore black tuxedos. The women, however, all dressed up differently. Bulma had diamond earrings pierced in her ears, and a pearl necklace. She wore a sparkly emerald dress with green elbow-length gloves. ChiChi had her hair tied up in a bun like a Chinese woman, and wore a red dress with thigh-high slits each side. Videl wore a plain, sexy black V-neck dress, and Kestrel just wore a plain sparkly white one. The boys (Trunks and Goten) wore black trousers and expensive shirts. Ibex knocked on their door and showed them the way to the hall.
The hall was packed and filled to the brim with decorations.
"Wow! I love the colour!" Bulma complimented, "The floor is as green as grass, and the ceiling is a beautiful blue!"
"And the walls are GOLD! PURE, PURE GOLD!" Yamcha yelled excitedly.
"Yes, I know. The green represents the Nameks, the blue represents us and the gold represents our hearts; as good as gold!"
"The Nameks? You know the Nameks?" Bulma asked.
"I shall explain in my speech." Ibex replied. He motioned them to sit at the main table, where they sat on elegant carved wooden chairs with different coloured cushions. Chandeliers glowed above them, and the moon's beams shone through the windows.
The community sat on different coloured cushions on the floor. Their low tables stretched from one end of the room to another, and another table with the exact length on the other side. There were two huge great, big double doors at the end, with grand detail.
Ibex stood in the middle of the room and the crowd instantly fell silent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girl of all ages! It has been over 40 years since the battle between us Imnoks and the Saiyans!"
Bulma whispered to whoever was listening.
"There was a battle?"
"Sssh!" They hushed her.
"It is this very day that the battle stopped. Before we start the celebration and the entertainment, I would like to say ... something important." He turned to the table in which the gang was sitting, "These fellow people are allies, friends. There is one that may seem familiar to the elderly."
The old Imnoks hustled and bustled and began to gossip between each other.
"A man, in this very room, resembles the man who declared the war. Prince Vegeta."
The crowd gasped. Some women became almost faint, the men looked fearful but at the same time they looked as if they want revenge. The children hid behind their parents.
"But do not fear! The man isn't violent. I'm sure most of you remember his mother, Queen Roshicheena."
Smiles appeared on their faces and began to nod their heads in pleasant memory.
"The man, although in looks he looks like his father, but is just as kind as his mother. He may be a full-bloodied Saiyan, he may be a descendent of the Royal family, he may be one of the only Saiyans left alive, but he is a friend, a comrade, and an ally. Please welcome ... Vegeta!"
The crowd applauded, some cheerful, some not so. Vegeta began to go a deep shade of crimson as they all applauded him and all his friends and family clapping along. He put his elbows on the table and buried his head in his hands.
"Oh God ..." He mumbled.
Ibex motioned for silence. A harp began to play in the background.
"Many years ago, it seemed all things were fine.
But then later on, our lives were on thin lines
It seemed as though our lives did not matter
Most of us thought our heads would be on the platter,
But then a song was heard
It sounded like a singing bird
And the singing bird had changed our lives ..."
The lights had gone dim and the heavy doors opened to reveal children in white hooded cloaks carrying candles. There were two lines, and they filed out onto the open stage. While walking, they sang the prayer.
"Ieyui
Nobomeno
Renmire
Yojuyogo
Hasatekane
Kutamae"
They burned out their candles and the lights came on in deep red and orange. They threw off their cloaks and were now wearing battle armour and more children came raging out of the doors. The performance became a dance version of the war. The performance lasted for almost half an hour, Bulma was hiding behind Vegeta's shoulder and ChiChi was yelling "GO GET THEM!!" Soon, a child that was supposed to be Isis was about to plunge a sword into 'King Vegeta's' heart when all of a sudden, the blood-red lights turned a yellow-white colour, and the prayer was heard again from the choir that were singing on the balcony. Like the children before them earlier in the performance, they were holding candles and were in hooded cloaks. The dance told the cancellation of the war, and as the children ran back into the doors, the choir walked down the balcony stairs still singing the prayer and landed on the stage. The lights turned back to normal, and Ibex walked on stage. The children were singing quietly as a harp began to play again.
"As you can hear, the song is our saviour
Who knows what would have happened, if that sword went in later?
And so the song is now sacred
And now our emotions don't go to hatred
We must learn to think twice
We must learn to think, before we roll that dice
And if you need a helping hand
We all need a friend to help us stand
But if no one is there when you need them most
Just think of the song, and remember you're not alone
The song, the prayer, will stay in our hearts and in our heads
And remember, that each of us are very blessed
The song is the symbol of life and love
So please stay true and listen to the song ..."
"Ieyui
Nobomeno
Renmire
Yojuyogo
Hasatekanae
Kutamae"
The crowd applauded and cheered at the talented children. They all came back on the stage and took a bow. When they ran back off, Ibex once again introduced another entertainment.
"Now, I know we all enjoyed that! For the following, we are going to hear songs and their performances, comedian and even a magician! I hope all of you enjoy the rest of the show!"
They again, clapped. Ibex sat at the main table, and the performance commenced.
It was soon midnight, and a female dressed in a white dress stood with a microphone in her hand. She had backing singers on the balcony, and she was singing a song that somehow seemed familiar to Vegeta ...
Tohiki, omowaseru
Ama oto ni suzumarete

Tsutawaru no wa hitotsu dake

Yagate kono hibi wa owaru no kamo
Yokan no koe kiku yori mo

Te no hira wo kasane shinjiru
Sasayakana, nukumori de
Futari no kizu natsunaide inochi wo

Kono shunkan wo somete

Hakanai, nukumori ya

Watashi wa wasurenai kara, kimi he to
Tadoritsuki; meguri au, kanarazu
Kurayami sae mo koete... (Go to www.ffx2.com, vocal collections, kimi he to hear the song)
After the last notes of the piano faded, everyone cheered and whistled. The woman and the choir took a bow, and they exited. Vegeta kept thinking how well that song would suit his sister, or maybe he knew that song already did suit her. He was so sure he heard that song be sung somewhere else. He shook the thoughts out of his head, and the celebration was over.
