Queen Luana: Oh yeah, another chapter coming up! Hey, I've been dead for over a month so I think this is the least I can do. Man it's good to be back into business, haa… So everyone don't forget to review and enjoy this chapter. There's some new folks coming up and I think you'll be able to tell who.
Zazba
When I woke up I noticed thecapsule wasn't flying anymore. I found myself in a deep crater and was startled. Normally I woke up when I landed right, I mean, the collapse on the ground…
I opened my ship and was struck by a chilling temperature. I had lived in this sort of climate for nearly my entire life, yet now I had gotten used to earth's I was cold. Plus there was another thing. My belly had strikingly grown and with the tight outfit I was wearing it was easy to see. I laid my hand on my belly closed my eyes and sensed the baby again. It felt weird.
When I crawled out of the crater I also noticed I wasn't nauseous anymore. Thank God. I observed my surroundings as I reached sollid ground. The entire landscape was covered in thick snow, as it had always been. It was almost a deserted plain, except for the mountains in the far distance. I assumed that was my goal as I took off.
When there was danger on Zazba, and then I mean the village Zazba, they'd transfer the children to the mountains, since there was a secret residence lain inside a cave. The time I had spent there, we never had to run for the mountains but taking from Jiro's condition things were serious.
I was wondering whether Goku had been able to bring everyone back yet. There was Vegeta, Krillin, Gohan and Yamcha. But the dragon would only grant two wishes at a time. Made me wonder who he'd choose. Most likely Gohan and then Vegeta or Krillin. And next years he'd wish back Yamcha. Yeah, guess that would do. Not that I hated Cousin It, I just wanted the others back before him.
I found the cave without too many difficulties. The ki was quite simply pretty high so I found it easy to track them down. The entrance of the cave was only eight feet tall and perhaps five feet wide. It was large enough though. When I enterred I was just in time to block a ki-blast. It did knock me off my feet and I got banged against the cave wall.
"Whoever you are!" I cried. "Stop your fire! I am Luana, princess of planet Vegeta!" I covered my face with my hands, in case there would be another blast. There wasn't.
"Princess Luana! At last you have returned!" I peeked and saw a Zazbanian approaching me and he kneeled a couple of feet away from me. "Forgive me, my princess, our men are very tense because of the resent attacks."
"I understand," I said standing back up. The cave was enormous and was filled with Zazbanian soldiers, spread along the walls. "I heard from one of your men my father is here," I said to the Zazbanian, who was still kneeling, head bowed and one hand clapped over his heart. He raised his head and smiled.
"Yes, I shall take you to them." He stood up and lead the way deeper into the cave.
In the end of the cave was a large building, couting dozens of rooms for the people of Zazba. Since the only light in the cave came from the torches hanging at the walls, the building was unable to see from the beginning of the cave. I blinked away a tear since it was a perfect replica of our palace at my home planet.
Th Zazbanian led me to a large door. "They are in here, my princess," he said bowing again and backing up.
"Thank you," I said softly. "You can go back to your men now." He bowed his head once more.
"Yes, my princess." Then he ran off. I sighed deeply then pushed open the door, there to find three people standing in a rather small room, all observing a hologram of the planet Zazba. One of them was a Zazbanian who I knew as Kaie, the general of Zazba's army. Then there stood a men with tall spiky brown hair and beard and a women with long wild black hair. They were all wearing Saiyan armor and they all turned when they heard me opening the door.
I choked. The woman resembled to me in every way, except for her black hair. Her jaw lowered at seeing me and her arms which she had folded in front of her chest dropped to her side. The man was obviously as surprised as she was and he casted me a look of disbelieve.
The woman took a careful step forwards. "Luana?" she spoke with trembling soft voice, and all the memories of my childhood came back. Smiling and fighting back tears she hugged me.
"Mother," I whispered.
"Thank goodness you're alright, I was fearing you didn't make it," she spoke and when pulling back I saw the first tears were rolling down her cheeks. She backed off and I turned to the man. I quickly bowed in respect.
"Father." I heard him chuckle and was pulled into an embrace again.
"It has been too long, my daughter."
My mother turned to the Zazbanian. "Kaie, leave us." He bowed.
"Yes, my queen." He turned of the hologram and left the room. Mother then turned to me her eyes looking me up and down.
"My little girl has grown," she said and gave me a warm smile. A smile I had missed.
"I can sense you're ki has grown tremendously as well," my father then said.
"I have been training my entire life, ever since the day I cam to Zazba. As a result yes, I've gotten pretty strong."
My father laughed satisfied. "And how is your brother, Luana?" my mother asked and once again I choked. What could I tell her? Wouldn't it come as shock hearing their son was dead?
I sighed deeply. "Don't be shocked, it's a long story and I will tell you everything."
After I had told them everything about earth and Ji, my mother was wrenching her hands very worried apparently. "So, he will be brought back?" my father demanded.
"Yes, as soon as Kakarot finds the final dragonball he will bring him back." My mother nodded.
"I'm glad to hear that. Now, Luana, you should rest. You must've had a long and very wearying journey." I opened my mouth to object but she had already flung one arm around my shoulders and was now guiding me into the hallway.
My mother opened the door of a bedroom and pushed me inside on the bed. She locked the door then sat down to me. "I don't get it…" I mumbled and then she shushed me and laid her hand on my belly. My hands clenched the sheets. It was known that the mother's instinct amongst Saiyans was well developed, but I had never thought she'd notice so soon.
My mother looked at me, her dark eyes met mine and she smiled proudly. "My little girl…" she whispered.
I swallowed then asked her: "What will father say?" My father was a very proud man and I knew he wouldn't enjoy hearing I was carrying the child of an earthling.
Queen Luana: Papa don't preach… Ahem. This chapter was a bit longer than the previous one, I believe. And I'm pretty sure as well Grant my wish won't count too many chapters. Not as much as Bringing back my Brother, that's for sure. We'll see. Until then, REVIEW!
