Chapter 1 - Do we have an archive?
POV Izzy
Its lunch time and I'm sitting quietly at a table by myself. The break room is full of brutal soldiers. I ignore them; they don't even see me either. They are just peacocking. One tries to act tougher than the other. There are always fights and sometimes a shot flies through the room. Oh well it's all just the way it is. I've been working in the archives for five years. The only times I come out of my workroom is for food and sleep. Once I tried to take my food with me, but I was immediately stopped at the passageway to the canteen. I hate it here, but I had little choice. After our planet was taken over, we could choose between Frieza force or hard labor. And honestly, I don't know which was worse. At least I was in a safe-ish place.
My food was finished and I brought the tray to the cart. Once again there was a fight, of course right in front of the cart. A deep sigh escaped my mouth. "Hey walk on ahead?" a harsh male voice came from behind me. I turned around and saw a large Saiyan with lots and lots of long hair. I looked back at the two fighting soldiers. I stepped aside so the big warrior could walk past me. He probably pushed them aside that easy and was able to move on. A little dreamy, I looked at my tray. Suddenly it was snatched from my hand; I looked back and got a wink from the big man. "Uhm thank you" I said in a soft voice.
A few hours later, I was typing up data for the archive. With headphones on, I was in my own little world. I saw a notification at the bottom of my computer screen that someone was walking into the office. They probably came to bring new files. "Just put the binders on the big table on the left" I called from my computer. But someone came walking towards the computer. When I looked up I was startled, it was the warrior from during lunch. Startled I said "Mister Saiyan".
POV Raditz
During the lunch, a small (5'6") pink haired girl stood in front of my feet. With her pink hair loosely in two pigtails, she was clearly not a warrior. She also quickly stepped aside when I wanted to pass; a little timid was the best description. Later I asked Vegeta and Nappa who she was, they had never seen her before they said. Another warrior heard my question and told me she worked in the archives. We actually never have contact with the servants with the dull duties. I didn't even know we had an archive. The soldier told me that everything in terms of missions, flights in the past were stored there.
"This is the archives?" it was actually a needless question, but the girl looked so startled. Two big eyes looked at me, they looked like rubies. "Uh yes" she stood up. At that moment I heard a beep, she looked down at her screen and then at the door. A soldier with a large box stood in the door opening "Large table on the left please" her voice was a bit louder now but still sounded sweet. After the soldier was gone she looked at me questioningly. "I was wondering if you could look something up for me" I began. She smiled sweetly and sat back in her chair. "Then you've come to the right place. If something happened, I can find it" she sounded almost confident and started typing on some kind of keyboard. "It's about a flight from the planet Vegeta in the year 737" she looked at me from behind her screen. "Was this a planned flight or unplanned?" she looked at me questioningly. "I don't know" I noticed I was beginning to stammer. She smiled sweetly. "Here, write down everything you know" and she slid a pen and paper to me.
I stared at the piece of paper. I heard typing on the keyboard. She looked at her screen; she stopped for a moment and looked up. "Need a hand?" she picked up the pen from the counter. She probably thought I couldn't write or something! "Uh I can write, but I don't know what information you need." She was a little startled and quickly put the pen back. She coughed for a moment and I could see she was thinking. She was playing with her hair which she twisted around her finger. "Do you remember the day or time." I shook no. "Was it planned? I just shrugged my shoulders. She sighed softly "Do you remember the place?" "Yes" I definitely remembered that one. It was next to the house we lived in. "And where was that?" she had meanwhile grabbed a pen and paper and started writing. I remembered roughly where it was. She pulled out a kind of atlas of the planet Vegeta from a folder. I was fortunately able to point it out quickly. "This is going to take me a while. But nothing happens without us knowing, and if we know, we archive it. And when it is here I can find it". She sounded confident. "How long do you think this will take?" I asked. "Give me a week, six days if I have coffee". I could have kissed her I was so happy "I'll bring you coffee every day!" She started typing again and she put her headphones back on. Satisfied I left the archive.
POV Izzy
I was back in my corner of the canteen. While eating, I sat studying a chart. It was my way of being able to ignore violent men around me. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the tall Saiyan come in with his two teammates. I looked up at his direction. He looked at me and gave me a wink. I gave a small smile his way. He may have looked like a big tough barbarian but he was looking for his little brother. I caught myself that my heart made a little jump. Quickly I dove back into my chart and pried my food onto my fork.
Next to me, another fight began. I picked up my tray walked away; this was too close for me. But I wasn't fast enough and I spotted a soldier coming at me as he was being knocked in my direction. I got ready for what was to come but he didn't bang into me. The big Saiyan had just caught him out of the air. He looked back at me and had a big smile on his face. "Thank you Raditz" I stuttered. "No problem, but I forgot to ask your name." He threw the soldier back to his group. "I'm Izzy" meanwhile he took over my tray. "See you tomorrow Izzy. With coffee" with a grin he walked away.
POV Raditz
"What the hell were you doing?" asked a puzzled Vegeta. I sat back down with the other two. "That's Izzy from the archive. She's our answer where our missing Saiyan is. I like having her in one piece for a while". Nappa had a large piece of meat and ate it out of his hand. "Are you still trying to figure that out?" he asked irritated. "I know what I saw then, right before our last mission he was sent away. He wasn't on Vegeta anymore, so where is he?" Nappa and the prince ignored me. But I was sure Kakarot was somewhere. I will find my little brother and then we had four Saiyan fighters. And then maybe we could take out Frieza. I looked once more at the young pink haired woman walking out of the canteen. She looked timid, but she was also actually quite attractive. I was curious to see what she might find there in the archives.
