~ 1 month later ~
The early morning sun seeped through the blinds casting a faint glow around the room. Bulma stirred groping for the warmth of her mate only to find that he wasn't there. As usual Vegeta's internal clock had him up before the crack of dawn.
Before Bulma had a chance to think of anything to do for the day, she made a mad dash to the bathroom. After a few minutes of puking her insides out she decided that she was going to stay in bed just a little while longer.
By the afternoon Bulma finally got herself together. Today, she had promised Valen a trip to the mall. Since Goku was out visiting Gohan and Vegeta was no where to be found the girls decided to have a day of fun.
+++++++++++++++++++
After just a few short hours of trekking through the mall Bulma's stomach made it clear the enough was enough.
"Bulma, are you sure that you're alright?" Valen asked from the other side of the restroom stall. She was a little concerned when her friend emptied her stomach for the third time since they had been in there.
Bulma finally opened the stall door and was looking a little pale.
"Maybe we should go home. You don't look so good." Valen offered with a small smile.
"Yeah, I was feeling pretty rotten this morning. I think I'm coming down with the stomach flu or something."
Valen already capsulated their packages and headed out of the restroom when she was roughly grabbed from the side. Luckily, Bulma was still inside splashing water on her face.
"Looks like our search is over. Hello, Your Majesty."
Valen couldn't believe that they had found her, but how? "Ekko? Wh-What are you doing here?"
"Lord Branigan requested that we bring you back"
"NO! I will not be a slave to that monster!" Valen cried but before she could send out a distress call, Bulma walked out of the restroom.
"Valen, I think I'm gonna go see a---doctor." Bulma stared wide-eyed at the large males. Two of them were holding onto her sister-in-law.
"BULMA! GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" Valen yelled as the genius took off.
While the others were distracted, Valen made her call. //VEGETA! GOKU! HELP!//
//What's wrong? Where's that blasted woman?// Vegeta answered immediately.
//No, time! I've been captured and they're after Bul-// The link was cut off suddenly.
//Val?//
No response
Vegeta cursed and exited the gravity room running into the house and upstairs to change his clothes. He felt his sister's fear. Something didn't feel right and he was going to find out what was going on.
"BAKAYAROUS!!! No telling who she could have contacted! Take her and her friend to the ship." Ekko growled.
Not only did he have to knock the young queen unconscious but there was a high possibility that she contacted someone for help. Branigan had warned him that the royal bloodline had the ability to communicate telepathically.
The commander didn't waste any time putting the energy dampner collar on. With her powers surpressed, Valen would not be able to call for help or fight back.
+++++++++++++++++++
A short while later, Vegeta appeared at the exact spot where Valen and Bulma stood. He smelled several different males but one stuck out like a sore thumb.
"Ekko" Was the one name that passed through his lips.
The anger prince appeared at the Sons residence banging on the door.
Not to thrilled to see Vegeta, Chi-Chi let him in.
Vegeta didn't waste anytime. "Where's Kakarott, woman?!!"
"Don't get rude with me! I'm not one of your lackeys!" She hissed, but the only thing that she managed to do was piss him off even further.
He grabbed her by the throat and hauled her off her feet. She saw the blazing anger in his charcoal eyes and could only imagine that something terribly was wrong. He had a wild look about him and the only time she saw that was when Yamcha had attacked Bulma.
"I'm only going to ask you one more time. Where.is.Kakarott?"
"Goku took Gohan into the mountains with Piccolo to train."
Vegeta dropped her unceremoniously to the floor. He concentrated on his former rival's energy signature. Once he found it he shimmered from sight.
+++++++++++++++++++
On the icy peeks of the mountain range two figures over shadowed another. //VEGETA! GOKU! HELP!//
The brawny Earth warrior dropped to his knees gasping for air.
"DAD-DY!"
"Goku! What's wrong?!"
Piccolo and Gohan looked down at Goku wondering what happened to him.
"I-I don't know. It feels like some of my energy was sapped right out me" He answered. Goku unconsciously rubbed his right arm.
"I think that's enough training for the day." Piccolo said.
"No! That's not it. Something happen to Valen" Goku answered.
A while back Goku finally told his friends about his divorce with Chi-Chi. What was the biggest shock for his friends was that the shy fighter was mated to the young demi-Saiyan. None of them questioned his motive. They all figured that he needed to be with someone of his own species.
Before Piccolo could pursue any further inquiry, the last person that he expected to see showed up. "Vegeta? What are you doing here?"
The prince growled low in his throat. He wasn't in the mood to deal with the Namek then he saw Goku kneeling in the white fluff.
"Kakarott, Bulma and Valencia have been kidnapped"
"She contacted me not that long ago but before I could answer the link was cut." Goku said as he tried to get his breathing under control.
"I know. I was actually talking to her when it happened."
"Do you know took them?"
"Some of Branigan's guards. Come-on, the longer we stay here the likely they will get away."
The tall Saiyan turned to his green friend. "Piccolo, please take Gohan back home" Then Goku motioned for his son to come to him. "Listen, Gohan I need to help Vegeta rescue Bulma and Valen, okay. I'll promise to make this up to you"
"Okay, dad"
Goku and Vegeta blasted off in the sky searching for their captured mates.
+++++++++++++++++++
The cold cell had no windows. The only source of light was from the dim light fixture on the ceiling. A huddled mass on the cot across from her made alarm bells go off in Bulma's head. She edged her way over and slowly removed the blanket.
"omg! Valen!" Bulma whispered, so she would draw unnecessary attention to herself.
She patted Valen on the face a few times with no response. Then she noticed the strange device around her friend's neck. Instinctively, Bulma reached for her neck but found nothing there. She couldn't even imagine what the purpose of the collar was for but all things considered it was keeping Valen unconscious.
Bulma gently placed Valen in a comfortable position and sat down at the foot of the cot keeping watch. She didn't know what was going to happen, but if Vegeta or Goku didn't save them soon she didn't know what would happen to them.
Would she ever see her family or friends again? Or would she be subjected to a live as a slave or worse a sex slave. That thought made her shuddered. She couldn't ever bare anyone else to touch her after having her prince work his magic on her.
/Vegeta, why didn't I think of that lug head earlier. Jeez, Bulma for being the smartest woman on the face of the planet you act like a dip/ Bulma smiled to herself. She drew-up her knees to her chest and rested her head on top of them. She wanted to give-off the appearance that she was asleep if anyone passed by.
+++++++++++++++++++
Two blue streaks roared across the late afternoon sun. The Saiyan warriors didn't know where to look. The prince suggested that begin looking around the area where the girls were snatched.
Vegeta almost fell in mid-flight when he heard //VEGETA! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!!!//
//Bulma?// His head was already hurting from his mate's screams.
//Yeah, me here. Valenisknockedoutcoldandshehasacollararoundherneckand---//
//Slow down! I can't understand you if you don't clam yourself woman!//
Bulma took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. //Valen has some kind of collar around her neck and I can't wake her up//
"SHIMATTA!"
"What's wrong Vegeta?" Goku asked.
"Valen has a ki dampner on. That's why some of your energy is gone." Vegeta explained with a scowl on his face.
//Bulma, I need for you remain calm. It is apparent that they can't sense ki's without scouters. Kakarott and I will be there shortly//
//Please, hurry. I think they're planning on leaving soon//
Vegeta and Goku stopped mid-air. The prince focused on Bulma and placed at hand on Goku's shoulder as soon as he located her they faded out of sight.

A/N: The girls been caught, what is the guys going to do? Looks like Branigan is one step closer to obtaining his prize. Will the guys be able to rescue them in time before the ship takes off? I don't know about you but I can't wait for the next chapter. Tell me what you think ^_~

The brawny Earth warrior dropped to his knees gasping for air.
"DAD-DY!"

Piccolo and Gohan looked down at Goku wondering what happened to him.
