Blood Pact

Chapter Seven

A naked Raditz emerged from the tank, dripping wet.

"Can I at least have some privacy?" He demanded as Zarbon stared at him.

"Certainly." Zarbon told him. "However, I must tell you that Lord Frieza has approved you to train Talia."

Raditz smiled as he pulled his pants on over his hips, fastening them. "How did you manage that?"

It was Zarbon's turn to smile. "We will discuss it later. Right now, the girl is waiting for you in her room. Of course, Lord Frieza wishes you to teach her only the basics. Nothing that could cause him….difficulty."

"I understand." Raditz said. "Now leave me. As soon as I have eaten, I will go take Talia for her first lesson."

"Very well. Do keep me informed of her progress." Zarbon said over his shoulder as he left.

Nappa struck Zetell hard, sending her head over heals backwards. He walked deliberately, taking long strides. Standing above her he kicked hard. She felt the pain radiated in her stomach and around her side. Zetell screamed out in pain. Nappa grabbed a handful of her hair and picked her up, her arms and legs swinging wildly.

Zetell looked down as the massive Saiyan prepared a blast. She closed her eyes.

"Stop!" Vegeta screamed. He ran forward, hitting Nappa in the side. Both he and Zetell were flung to the ground.

Nappa looked around at Vegeta. "Prince!" He shouted. But, Vegeta had no kind words for him.

"How dare you threaten to kill a Saiyan woman!" He shouted at Nappa. "You fool! Then what would my sister do!"

Nappa looked dumbfounded at Vegeta. "But, I though she had killed you!"

Vegeta glared. "Fool! Even if she had, you should have the sense to know that I would want Talia protected!"

Zetell tried to remain calm as Vegeta's evil gaze found her.

"You.." He said to Zetell. "Look at what you have done." Pointing to the ship, which was still in flames. "How the hell do you suggest we get off this wretched planet?" His voice was so calm that is sent chill's down Zetell's back.

"I guess your Lord Frieza will have to wait for his prize, huh!" Zetell said defiantly. With little warning, Vegeta marched up to her and slapped her.

"If anything happens to my sister because of your ignorance, I will kill you myself!" He said firmly.

Talia jumped as she heard the loud pounding on her door.

She was relieved when she saw Raditz.

"OH!" She said, taking him by the hand and pulling him inside her room. "I'm so glad to see you!"

"Hello, Princess." He said smiling. "I hear I get to teach you some moves…."

"Yes. Just get me out of this room! I'm about to lose my mind without Vegeta here!" She quickly grabbed her Saiyan armor and headed to the bathroom to change while Raditz waited.

"OK!" she said excitedly. "Let's go!"

Talia almost skipped to the training chamber, she was so happy.

For the next five hours, Raditz showed her some basic moves. Nothing dealing with blasts or ki levels. Just some basic punches. Talia felt charged and full of power at being able to do the simple moves. And Raditz encouraged her relentlessly.

When she was done, he walked her back to her room. "I'll see you later, Princess." He smiled again warmly.

Talia smiled back, feeling more at ease than she had in days.

Back on the now almost deserted planet, Vegeta continued to grumble. Zetell had managed to pick herself up and went back to her cabin. She did not invite Vegeta or Nappa, but they took it upon themselves to go anyway.

"Do you have food?" Nappa asked her.

"Like I'd share rat poison with you two?" She said. "You can both starve."

Nappa did not like her attitude and quickly took it upon himself to correct her tone. He grabbed her again by the hair and threw her up against the wall. "I said, do you have food?" His face was inches from hers.

"And I said STARVE!" She shouted. He wrapped his huge hand around her throat.

"I will very much love killing you, girl." Nappa said as he began to squeeze.

"Am I going to have to separate you two children?" Vegeta said, standing behind Nappa. "Now let her go."

Nappa did as he was told, dropping her onto the floor.

"We do not need her permission to search for food." He indicated for Nappa to begin a search.

"You can't just come in here and rummage through my home!" Zetell told him.

"I can do whatever I please….remember….you blew up my ship." Vegeta snarled.

Zetell stayed on the floor as Nappa threw her kitchen in turmoil. He found food, and he and Vegeta quickly ate.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Nappa asked sarcastically.

"No. I've suddenly loss my appetite." She told them both.
