Disclaimer: I do not own DragonBall Z or any of it's characters. If I did, I wouldn't be writing fanfics. I also don't know anyone who works for DBZ. Okay, let's begin, shall we?
(And by the way, thanks for the reviews, I have a lot of free time, so I updated pretty quick- don't get too used to it)
Matronene stayed in Vegeta's room for about fifteen minutes, thinking. As she did, more questions arised, but she was really worrying about her Prince. Had he not said that every training session with that Zarbon creature quickly turned into a battle to survive? And why did he listen to that Frieza anyway? He was the Prince of all Saiyans, he didn't have to listen to anyone.
Finally, she decided that she couldn't stop herself. She got up and left the room, wondering where to go, and she voiced this.
"Where should I go?" she whispered.
Matronene wandered the space ship, listening closely. Maybe she could hear the attacks. Every now and then she would stop so that she could listen closer, and finally she began to hear the faint sounds of attacks far away. She followed the sounds until she at last found ths source. She looked into the small window and saw a tall blue lizard, who she correctly understood to be Zarbon, and Prince Vegeta. He was obviously struggling already, he had been knocked onto his side and was just barely blocking Zarbon's attacks. Vegeta stood up quickly and fired a large attack which that lizard dodged. Matronene could only watch in horror as the prince was blasted over and over by the angered Zarbon, not happy with having an attack sent at him.
"Careful, Prince," she heard Zarbon sneer, "don't want to hurt yourself."
Vegeta replied angrily, "Why are you worrying if I hurt myself, freak? Never cared before."
The saiyan girl couldn't watch the Prince in this position. It was her job to protect the Prince, it was every saiyan's job. She opened the door and ran in, sending a large attack as she did.
Zarbon blocked it with the back of his hand. "Who is this, Vegeta?" he snapped.
"Saiyan girl," muttered Vegeta. "She was just brought onto this ship tonight."
"And you have her protecting you already?"
"I didn't ask her to!"
Matronene watched in shock at what was happening. Finally, Zarbon turned to her.
"Go back to your room, girl. I will only punish Vegeta for this, not you. This time."
"No!" snapped Matronene. "I won't let you!"
"Girl!" shouted Vegeta. "Just go! Leave me alone!"
She backed off. Obviously, she was only causing more trouble for the prince. Matronene let herself back out through the door. As soon as she left, she heard Zarbon: "Boy, you are going to pay for that!"
"No! I had no idea-" Vegeta began, but a large flash of light glowed through the window. Zarbon had obviously attacked him fiercely.
The new saiyan girl put her hand over her mouth, horrified at what had happened, and ran back to Vegeta's room.
As she was running back, she rounded a corner and collided with two men, both of which had to be saiyans.
"You guys are saiyans?" she exclaimed.
The two stared at her. "Yes," one said slowly.
"So you're Nappa and Radditz!"
The bigger one powered up. "All right, who are you!"
"My name is Matronene. I'm a saiyan, one of the last left."
The other saiyan grabbed his arm. "Relax, Nappa. She does look saiyan, and she has a saiyan name. All right. Well, if you're saiyan, we'll trust you."
Matronene grinned. "Finally! More saiyans! I thought they were all dead!"
"So did we," muttered the smaller of the two, who she took, once again correctly, to be Radditz. "How did you escape?"
"I'll explain it later, when Prince Vegeta comes back, so that I don't have to explain it to him as well later," she replied.
Radditz shrugged, deciding that it made enough sense. "Hey, wait, where is Vegeta?"
Matronene was shocked for a moment that they didn't call him 'Prince', but ignored it. "He's...training...with that Zarbon fool."
Nappa and Raditz exchanged uneasy glances. They hoped that this time he didn't get hurt, he always seemed to just escape alive.
