Chapter

The Arrival of Vegeta and the Capture of Hope
When
the light had faded completely she ran up to one of the three figures
it had revealed and said, "Brother, I'm so glad you're here,"
as she threw her arms around a short man whose spiky black hair
resembled the flame of a candle.
She
was completely oblivious to the five pairs of eyes that stared at her
in shock. Hiei sheathed his sword and Daniel put away his gun. There
was silence for a long moment. Then Andrea pulled back and noticed
the two people who had come with Vegeta.
"Who are they
Vegeta?" asked Andrea.
"Introduce yourselves, brats,"
ordered Vegeta.
The two in question stepped foreword. Both
were teenagers by saiyan standards. Andrea could instantly tell they
were each half human and half saiyan. One of them had lilac colored
hair and blue eyes. He said, "My name's Trunks. Why did you just
hug my Dad?"
Then the one with dark eyes and a hairdo that
was messy, spiky and black said, "My name's Goten and my Dad is
more powerful then Trunk's Dad. His name is Goku, but Vegeta calls
him Kakarot."
Andrea looked at Vegeta who nodded. He knew
what her unspoken question had been. She introduced Hiei and Daniel
to the three new arrivals. After that Daniel said, "I'll go tell
the others about this," and then left the room.
Vegeta
turned on Hiei and asked, "Are you the one that my sister has a
crush on?"
Hiei took a step back and was glad when Andrea
answered for him, "Stop intimidating him. He is the one I
mentioned." Andrea walked up behind Hiei and wrapped her arms
around him before she continued. "You'd better not kill him,
'Geta."
Vegeta laughed and ruffled Hiei's hair, ignoring
the demon's scowl. "If that's what you want Andrea."
A
second later there were hurried footsteps and someone knocked at the
door. Andrea opened the door and let Daniel back in. He was breathing
hard. "Freiza teamed up with Anubis. Five of his ships have
appeared in orbit and someone's throwing explosives at the Iris
protecting our Stargate. Freiza's ship has also suddenly left this
solar system. We don't know where he went."
Minutes later
Hiei, Andrea, Vegeta, Trunks, and Goten were in the Gateroom. Freiza
had contacted them again. He gave a Gate Address and said that if
they didn't go there that he would have Earth decimated from orbit.
Vegeta was confident that he could handle what was to come. Goten and
Trunks were looking at each other for a long moment.
"Fusion?"
asked Goten curiously.
"Yes, but later," came Trunk's
reply.
Goten nodded and went to stand beside his friend.
Jack
and Teal'c were also in the gate room. They were nervous. They
hated their helplessness, but there was really nothing they could do
but stand and watch as the iris opened and five people walked through
it.
Five people fired their weapons. Five people collapsed to the ground
The last thing Andrea heard as consciousness fled her body was Freiza's laughter.
