Chapter 10: joining of the crystals
Chapter 10: joining of the crystals

Vegeta woke to one of the worst headaches around all he could remember was being hit from behind without anyone noticing it. How could anyone suppress their ki without me noticing the slightest bit? He then heard a moan come from the side of where he was sitting at. He let his eyes become adjusted to the darkness. He then saw a shadow start to move. He came closer to realize that it was Trunks who's face was covered in cuts and had a gash on his head. "Where are we?" he said, "I don't know," Vegeta replied. "Father!" was the reply Trunks tried to get up and quickly grabbed his head. Then the two saw a shadow come over them. "Well, Well if it isn't the two that interfered with our plans in obtaining the crystals." Said a sinister voice. "Well brother they do put up a fight why don't we put them in the tournament to see if they are as strong as us." Said a familiar female voice. Vegeta recognized it instantly as the girl they fought at that Alaska place. He then raised his head to look at the two figures. The girl he remembered but the other he did not. He was kind of short but well muscled his tail wagged behind him in a lazy manner. Vegeta could hear Trunks behind him speak, "Where's Mart?" "Mart is with Jared now probably having fun as we speak." The other figure chuckled, " Jared is going to love his revenge." He said with that he left leaving the last figure to take a glance then left.

Mart awoke with a start she found herself naked on a bed in some kind of palace. "Don't make yourself comfortable Mart for it will be you last." A voice said in the darkness. She could barely made out the figure at the far window on the other side of the room but the voice gave it away. Jared! Her eyes shot up with the recognition. "There is no need to get all surprised at me Mart by the way nice body." He said. If he touched me in anyway I will kill him for touching me! Rage began to fill Mart. She tried to get up but found that she was tied down to the bed. She tried to get loose but to no avail. Jared laughed "You killed my family Jared and you won't get away with this once I get through with you." Mart said under a strained voice. Jared smiled at the comment. He began to make his way over to her his boots clicking on the hard floor. He gently cress her face with one hand, "poor Mart you don't get it do you. That was just a set up your real family is safe for now. Until I get done with you." With that he hit her across the face with the back of his hand drawing blood. Marts anger began to rise with each hit. She felt helpless and alone at the moment. When the beating was finally over Jared left promising to rape her when he returned.

Mart lay there bloody and a mess. Her hands where sore from the restraints. But she could sense that they where weak if she powered up. Mart powered up to super saiyan breaking the ropes. Why didn't I do it before, well because I was too dazed to think, she thought to her-self. She walked across the room till she saw a faint glow coming from the room next door. Slowly she went in to find a room full of treasures from money, jewels, paintings, and other things. "He must have looted a lot of people," she said to her self. Walking further in she could see an alter in the center of the room.

Slowly she walked towards it to find all seven crystals of the elements on similar alters in the middle of the room. "Lovely isn't it," she turned to find that Jared had returned her anger began to rise as she got into a fighting stance. Her tail wagged furiously behind her. Jared smiled at the sight of her covered in blood. She growled low and menacing threatening him to come closer. He took a step then stopped and signaled with his hand. Two shadow demons came from behind him. "take her to her cell in the dungeons with her friends." The demons came from behind Jared and clamped Marts hands she tried to fight but to no avail they had an iron grip on her wrists. They led her to a cell down in the dungeons.

Trunks finally got to his senses when the door opened and a naked figure was thrown down in front of him. He recognized it immediately as Mart. But looking at her he could tell she was beaten pretty bad. He staggered over to her and helped cover her up with his jacket. She got up and cursed, "THAT ASSHOLE HE JUST WAIT TILL I GET MY HANDS ON HIM I WILL KILL HIM FOR TOUCHING ME!" Mart yelled into nothing. "Watch what your yelling at kid your hurting my ears," said Vegeta who was meditating in the corner of the cell. It was then that they heard voices coming from the other cell. "Mart is that you?" Mart looked into the direction of the voice a filthy hand reached through from a window. Mart quickly reached and took the hand a familiar face came to the window. It was Whitney, Mart's eyes began to water at the sight of her cousin and her friend. "What the fuck are you doing here ?" Whitney said. "Got caught in China," said Mart. "Mart! Mart it's you!" a voice called followed by several others. Whitney moved so Mart could see her entire family all in the next cell. Somewhere crying others where badly hurt. "What happened," Mart asked.

"When they took us," said Mart's father who came up from behind Whitney, "They made fake images of us so you would believe that we where dead but they didn't know it was you who made all that energy. So they tried to find you but they couldn't find you so they began to search for these so called crystals of the elements. I overheard Jared saying that when the crystals are united a so called gate of dragons will open and other dimensions will fall to him." Vegeta thought about this then stood up, "What he doesn't know is that I have a dragon's gate as well." With that he took out the jewel from under his shirt. The crowd gasped at the sight ," but it is not powerful enough to fight the one from this world." Said Vegeta. Everyone sighed it was of no use. "Hey Mart!" called Whitney, "Who is that over there with the spiky hair. I recognize Corran with you but not that guy he looks familiar though." Mart began to laugh and it grew louder with each second. "Whitney let me introduce you to Vegeta prince of all saiyans and Trunks." Whitney and a few other gasps went around the room. "Forget introductions get us out of here!" shouted someone from behind.

A few hours latter, "you know what forget it no matter what level we are at we can't break the door down!" said Trunks who looks very agitated. Vegeta just stood there exhaustion also filled his face even at super saiyan 4 he could not break the door down. Even Mart at level 1 was exhausted. So they sat down and rested. "Hey Mart I never knew you could go super saiyan?" said James who's face appeared at the window. Mart smiled at the complement her aqua eyes showed a bit of laughter. "Oops!" cried Candace who was on the other side of the cell peeking from another barred window. She dropped a flute into Mart's cell. Vegeta picked it up and looked at it. " I got a lovely bunch of coconuts dee, dee, dee, there they are a standing in a row," Candace began to sing soon everyone except Vegeta and Trunks where singing. Mart showed them some songs like Soul Rebel by a group called Pound 4 Pound, and a few others soon everyone including Vegeta who had nothing else to do was singing into was they thought was night.

Mart sat by the window looking out into the dark sky. All she could see was clouds and hear the distant roaring of dragons. Her father was watching from another window. "What else do you know dad?" she asked he looked out into the sky, "All I know is that the dragons where captured and made to fight each other." Mart suddenly felt pity instead of hate for the dragons who fought over the skies. "One of the dragons is Shenlon" said Vegeta suddenly appearing out of nowhere. Mart's eyes went big, "Shenlon the eternal dragon of you realm?" she asked. Vegeta nodded a sad look in his eyes "I was on the Capsule Corp. rooftop when I seen it happen. They came out of nowhere and took the dragon. That's when my world started to fall apart and I came across the legend of the dragon saiyan." Mart's father nodded then he yawned turning his heel he walked over to a corner next to Mart's step mother and went to bed leaving Vegeta with Mart. Vegeta eventually went to bed himself leaving Mart alone by the window with nothing but Candace's flute. Slowly she raised it to her lips for no real purpose and began to play an unusual song. Meanwhile in the treasure room:

The treasure room was lit with candles as Jared began to summon the spells that would unite the crystals powers together into one. He began to chant with the others,

As light is the gatherer,

As earth is the flesh,

As fire is the spirit,

As lightning is the power,

As water is the blood,

As ice is the veins that carry the blood,

As wind is the breath,

So say the seven elements of nature we call you to become as one entity and one being

Become the gate of worlds and give us the power.

The crystals remained dormant and fustration grew among the dark lords. They tried for hours to summon the power of the crystals into one but to no avail. Then they head an unusual song coming from the dungeons. "SHUT UP!" Calvin called down into the darkness two demons quickly raced down to silence the musician. "STOP!" Jared called the demons returned to sit in their usual position. As he listened the crystals began to glow with a brightness unlike anything anyone has imagined. They began to float upward towards each other. Then stopped there power growing as the dark lords gazed at them in wonder.

Mart began to call it a night when she head the spell the dark lords where summoning for the past few hours she could hear them chant. By playing her friends flute was she able to get some peace. She whispered the chant for it was stuck in her head.

"As light is the gatherer,"

"As earth is the flesh,"

"As fire is the spirit,"

"As lightning is the power"

"As water is the blood"

"As ice is the veins that carry the blood"

"As wind is the breath,"

"So say the seven elements of nature I call you to become one entitiy and one being,"

"Become the gate of worlds and give me the power,"

She stopped herself from being delusional and crawed into bed next to Vegeta and Trunks to stay warm.

The crystals began to glow again as they begin forming into one jewel. Jared and the others where amazed at the power these jewels showed as they formed into one. When they finally stopped glowing all that was left was on jewel that glowed. Then bounded out of the palace. "After it!" Jared called as all four dark lord when after it.
