The sun was shining brightly as she sat sewing peacefully. It was a shame that the beauty of the weather was only to be matched with the grim war that wrought on somewhere in their kingdom. Everyday she would look out of the window and think of her Children, all four of them all grown up and fighting battles…not that she liked the battles but she supposed she had no choice.

Bardock was gone too and how she missed him. As annoyingly stubborn and work obsessed as the man could be they were both deeply connected and not having him around left the house empty, it didn't help that there was no gossip coming from her daughters or angry squabbles between her two sons and no happy squeals from Chichi as the new couple played together, flirting a tad too much for her liking.

Looking to her right she watched the sorrowful mate of her son. The poor girl literally cried herself to sleep each night. She could remember the first time Bardock left for battle, she had been petrified but unlike her son she had got word from him. It had been weeks now and sadly she had received no word from either of her sons, this had led to both left behind females to worry.

Sighing Chichi looked out of the window, she missed him so much and the fear that he was hurt was overwhelming. With no word from her beloved she could only think of the bad things that may have happened, it was strange that no matter what anyone said to her she could always think of a negative to backfire with it.

A rapid knock came to the door, a small and very tired looking man walking in with a fast pace. His face was dirty and his armour cracked and smeared. Coughing loudly he bowed to both women in the room.

"My lady I bring a message from Radditz." Both women turned full attention to the small man in the centre of the room, both holding their breath as they waited for the news.

"Well go on then!" Tannupa glared impatiently at the small man as he hesitated. It really wasn't helping the already tense atmosphere.

"Kakarott and another were seeing to a though surprise attack and somehow they were both detected. From what we have seen and been told both soldiers fought long and hard. The man who accompanied your son was found injured lying on the forest floor. Human technology has advanced…"

"And my son! You say nothing of my son?" Tannupa had stood now, her breathing heavy as she awaited an answer from the now fearful man.

"My lady your Son Kakarott is missing and presumed dead. His brother sends you his promise that he will avenge the death with no mercy." Chichi felt her heart drop as low as it could fall, as low as it felt the agonising beats it now had let her know it had stayed where it belonged, the tears falling in an instant as she threw herself upon the pillow in front of her.

"What happened to him!" Tannupa seemed unfazed as she questioned the man, her eyes now upon the weeping girl by the window.

"We are unsure my Lady. From what we have been told he was attacked from behind and fell upon the floor gasping not far from his comrade, when help arrived he was no longer there."

Tannupa's scream was heard through out the palace as she sank to her knees. Her hands viciously thumped the floor of the room and her tears fell upon the floor. With no order to leave the man stood there, watching the two women cry, pitying them as he watched their hearts break. He did however have yet to tell the boys father and so left without permission, feeling he should leave the two to grieve alone.

Bardock sat angrily at his desk, the humans had progressed immensely fast and it was his opinion that there was some sort of rat behind it all. But what was strange was the pattern it held, all this work and breakthrough, plan and strategy used by the enemy was a lot like Gero's and it seemed right now that history was repeating its self, even if it had been at least one hundred years.

Who ever it was leading them was aware of past strategies, ones that they shouldn't be aware of considering they were all destroyed and withdrawn to Vegesaii the moment Gero was killed. Sighing Bardock called for the one outside his door to enter, surprised to find one of his eldest sons messengers there.

"My Lord I bring news." Sitting up Bardock placed his hand hands on his left knee and leant forward, questioning the man to speak.

"Your youngest, Kakarott was in a large battle. It was him and another soldier involved as they had presumed no others were needed. The attack came early in the hours of last Monday. Both fought long and hard and the accomplice of your son was found injured and unconscious. My lord I'm sorry to inform you that your youngest son is missing and presumed dead. Radditz has ensured that the killers will be dealt with mercilessly."

Bardock had never felt so angry in his life; after all he had done to make the life of the humans better in his kingdom. He was well known across both of the planets as being the kindest and fairest Lord known to the empire. He gave his humans rights, nice homes and well paid jobs. He banned segregation and punishment just because they were human; he took away their poverty and gave them a fair, peaceful and justified life. And this was how they repaid him; they took the life of his youngest son. The only child that would follow in his footsteps, a child they knew fully well had a human mate awaiting his return.

"Tell Radditz when he finds my sons killers that he is not to kill them! I want them brought here immediately. They are to be dealt with in a means the whole family sees fit. I want them to see the distraught human girl they created by taking my sons life and I want them to suffer for doing it. Where is his mother?"

"She is at your home my Lord and she knows. You may need new floors." The small man bowed before requesting to leave.

"Thank-you. I fear I may need a new home rather than floors. You may go, take my message to Radditz back quickly please."

Picking up his belonging he left the room, his mind no longer on the war but on the young son that he feared he would never see again. He would have to inform the King of his death and this would result in uproar. Not just because a Sayain had been killed but the son of a ruling lord, the elites would be sent in and things would get ugly. The prince himself may end up fighting if things carried on this way.

The journey to his home was longer than usual, his mind angry as it seemed the happiness of nature mocked him. The sun shining brightly and the wildlife care free and gleeful, whilst he and his family were left to mourn the loss of a loved one that should never have been lost. This war shouldn't have happened. War saw only death and loss, destruction following every path a soldier took but it seemed there was no other answer the Sayains could give.

What the humans failed to realise was the benefits after the war. If the won then it would take forever to bring the planet into a decent government, the humans hade been ruled over for so long the ability to rule was lost without support and the Sayains being sore losers would have nothing to do with them. If they lost however the life they used to have would be gone, the kindness they had once received would be destroyed and turmoil and discrimination would once again set in.

Thanking the driver he stepped towards his front door, even outside he could hear his wife's violent screams and growls as she angered over her loss. The door shut loudly as he walked towards his mate's presence. The moment the door opened he felt the arms of his wife around him, her sobs loud as her falling tears cascaded down his armour. In the corner he could see Chichi, her small body curled up into a pain filled ball and her sobs racking through her petite body. He called to her, motioning her to come to him as he placed an arm around her shoulder in the hopes that he could attempt to comfort both women.

Angrily he felt his wife pull away. Fearful of the outburst she was going to give, it was then he noticed she was I her armour. He knew what this meant and he was surprised he hadn't expected it. But he wished to the gods that she had worn it after he came, his son was dead and his wife was wearing armour that turned him on beyond belief. Sighing he rolled his eyes and looked away.

"Tannupa dear, go take your armour off. There is nothing you can do?" He kept his voice soft.

"I'll be damned if there is nothing I can do. I'll find them and strangle them with my bare hands. Rip them to pieces for taking my little baby away from me." She burst once again into tears as she blasted the door down the corridor.

"Honey there is nothing you or I can do. Radditz is closer and so will get there faster. They all need to be on full guard and its better there are other warriors there who will not be so blinded by rage and grief to accompany our other child. We however are all suffering and so therefore easy to attack, we would all end up hurt and Kakarott wouldn't want that. Would he?"

Sighing she dropped her shoulders down, her eyes looking to the floor as her body flopped with agreement.

"No he wouldn't. Do the girls know?"

"I don't know my love but I will ensure they are told. For now we should all get some sleep. Who knows later on may bring better news."
