Chapter Nine: Planet Vegeta

As I arrived near the planet Vegeta, I was surprised at it beauty; brilliant ruby red color, sitting like a lone jewel in the vastness of space. Minutes later I touched down on a landing pad and got out of my ship, wondering what I should do first. My first idea was to look around this new planet. Planet Vegeta was one of the more advanced planets I had been on, it was like a bustling metropolis with bars and shops everywhere. As I walked through the crowd I felt something grab onto my leg. I was startled but looked down to see what it was. To my surprise, it was the young Saiyan I had seen before, Raditz. "Hello ma'am!" Raditz said cheerfully. I smiled and gently took him off my leg "Long time no see, so how have you been doing?" I asked. "Great, just running from dad." He replied "Do you wanna meet him?" I shrugged "Okay why not?" I said. Raditz then grabbed by hand and tugged me along through what seemed an endless crowd of saiyans. We finally stopped at the front of a bar. "Dad come out here, I want you to meet someone!" The 8 year old called into the bar. To my surprise the figure who emerged was none other than the saiyan I had met on Namek: Bardock. He immediately straightened out and saluted once he saw me, I giggled. "Well, this is unexpected; the two Saiyans I meet outside of the Planet Vegeta just happen to be father and son." I said. Bardock seemed to relax a bit and nodded, flashing a debonair grin. "Millina, so you know my son too?" she asked I nodded "We met before I met you, just before I had gotten into a huge battle." I replied "Cool. Well what are you up to around here?" he said. I thought about what I should say and then it hit me what I should do. "Well, I'm here trying to find a new place to live, I couldn't stand my old place so I left." I replied. Raditz watched and listened to us in interest.
"Dad can help you with that, he knows where a lot of good places to live are Miss Millina. But if you don't have a place to stay right now you can stay with us." Raditz chimed in. "Really? But I don't want to be a bother." I told him. Bardock picked up Raditz and looked straight at me "You wouldn't be a bother and your not gonna be on the streets, your living with us until you can find a place." Bardock said. This was a relief, I couldn't believe after being here for a few hours that I already had a place to stay, but this brought up another factor. "Wont your wife be upset if you bring another woman home?" I asked, Bardock shook his head. "I don't have a wife, but if you mean Raditz mother, she died in childbirth." He said solemnly. Right then I wished I hadn't asked that question, it made me feel really bad. "Im so sorry." I told him. "It's alright, you didn't know." He replied. We decided to get off that subject and go over to Bardock's place. He asked me if I had anything that I was bringing with me to his place but I didn't. When we got there I took a look around his apartment. It was a really nice place aside from the fact that it was really dirty with clothes and food containers everywhere. Even when I lived in that dirty cell, I never lived in such filth. I shook my head "How do you live like this?" I asked. "We just walk around all the junk." Raditz answered. I couldn't help but to laugh, but I made up my mind that I would not live like this, even if I had to clean the place myself. A little bit later we went out to get something to eat, since I had no money of my own, Bardock paid for my meal but insisted that I not pay him back. I wanted to pay him back and I would one way or another. After dinner we got into an interesting conversation. "Are you gonna go to the royal banquet King Vegeta is throwing?" Bardock Asked. "Banquet? For what reason?" I replied. "You mean you don't know?" "I have been away from the Planet Vegeta for a long time." "Okay, he is celebrating the birth of his son, Prince Vegeta. He's invited all elite class saiyans and the top of each class of saiyan fighter below that." "Really, that's great! What class of saiyan fighter are you?" "......Third class." "You? Third class? I don't believe that one bit, you should be an elite with moves like yours." Bardock blushes and turns away "Uh...thank you, but that's what the tests said when I was born, that I'm third class." "Well those tests are dead wrong." "Are you going to go to the banquet?" "I guess so, but I suppose that I will have to get something new to wear." "Yeah." I really did need something new to wear, the only outfit I had was the one I had on now, and Raditz told me after we had gone back to the apartment, that the banquet was three weeks from today, so I really needed to get working. The next day after Raditz left for training school and Bardock left for his job aside from scouting and occupying planets, I was left there alone with some big plans. First, I cleaned out all the trash on the ground and threw it away. Next, I straightened out all the rooms and made everything look neat. Finally, I had gotten hungry and searched through the fridge, there was enough for me to work with for cooking. Being out in space with very little to eat except for what I found and killed gave me exceptional ability to make things taste good since I had to work extra hard to do that with some of the gross things I came across. But since the stuff in the fridge was decent enough, it would be easy for me to make it good. As I was finishing up my lunch, I heard the front door open. I read the person's mind, it was Bardock. "My gosh is this my place? Its actually clean! And what smells so good?" He thought. "Bardock is that you? I'm cooking some lunch, come and help yourself." I called out to him, I heard the door open again. "Dad you cleaned the house...and your cooking!?" Raditz asked in disbelief. "No, I didn't do anything, Millina did this. I just came home and things were like this." Bardock answered "Really? Cool!" After the food was completely done I put a lot on three plates and put them on a table near the two and sat down taking my plate. Bardock and Raditz looked at each other before grabbing the plates and scarfing down the food. "Wow this is really good Miss Millina!" Raditz said in a way barely audible since his mouth was full of food. I gulped down my food before speaking "Thank you, I appreciate the compliment. I just had to do something to repay you and your father for letting me live here and all." I said as I smiled cheerfully, gulping down more food after. "Like I said Millina, you don't have to pay me back." Bardock said, his mouth half full. "But I wanted to." I told him. We ate everything that I had cooked despite the fact that I had cooked so much. I had never eaten so much in my life, nor had I ever been full, but I liked it. "Millina, don't you have to go to work?" Bardock said. "Oh crap! I forgot all about that, I better get going!" I said, running out the door. All the elites worked for King Vegeta in his palace, and it was obvious where the palace was. I ran quickly to the gates of the palace, but once I got close, I walked casually up to them. Elites had the royal symbol on their armor, so I was let in. I entered the throne room slowly, it was a grand room with red marble floors and a very big throne with what looked like flames coming out of the back of the throne. King Vegeta sat in his throne regally. He had brown, spiky hair and and a beard, he wore saiyan armor with a long, flowing cape behind and and his eyes posessed a fire which reminded me of the planet's appearance from space. Once I reached a few feet from the foor of this throne, I knelt on one knee bowing to him "I am here to serve you King Vegeta." I said "You may rise." He replied, I did so but I stood up straight in saluted him. "Woman, state your name and rank." "I am Millina of the elite forces sir." "Millina hmmm? How come I have never heard of you before?" "I have always kept myself inconspicuous, this is the first time I have come before you since I was informed I would be one of your guards." "I see. Let me see your power level for myself. Zorn, hand me my scouter." A man at his side with a scars in his face and wearing a cloak handed him a scouter and he put it on. "Now raise your level to its maximum" "Yes my liege" I did as he said, raising my power level to its highest, the king seemed pleased. "Hmm impressive, your not nearly as strong as I am, but your stronger than most other elites" "Thank you sire" "You may take your post" I took my place in a row of standing saiyans, if the King requested something of one of us, he got it, but mostly we stood in the throne room at attention when the king was around but talked softly when he left the room. I discovered that we were paid daily when I was paid before I left, I gladly took the money and went to a few shops. I bought some new armor, a couple of capes, some new body suits, some boots, gloves, three pairs of earrings after I had gotten my ears pierced, and something to make a necklace out of the translucent orange orb with stars I had found. Elite forces were paid large sums of money, So I still had plenty left over for food. When I came back to the apartment that night, Bardock was in the living room watching something and Raditz was asleep in his room. "Well, it looks like you've done quite a bit of shopping; I guess they are right about all women, they love to shop no matter what species they are." He said chuckling. I giggled, then yawned. "I'm tired, I think I'm gonna go to sleep." I said "Okay, good night Millina." He said before getting up, going to a closet and getting some blankets and a pillow for me. I took the stuff and set the stuff up on the couch, I laid down on it, it was really comfortable, much more comfortable than I was ever used to. I turned off the light just before falling asleep comfortably.
