Year 784 - The voyage and old faces
POV Trunks
We all arrived at our house. My mother came running in. "What the hell happened." Father looked angry, is there a ship ready he asked directly. She nodded and he turned to Lilly "Are you ready?" Lilly was determined, but suddenly she began to worry I saw it on her face. "If you come with me, he will kill my mother." Father was clearly at a crossroads. "I'm coming with you on that ship that creep has already taken away too damn much. He must be punished". Lilly was clearly slightly panicked. "Look I'll stay on the ship, when you have your mother give a signal and I'll come. Ok?" She nodded yes. And they flew away, I flew after them "Lilly" I called out.
Just before the entrance she stopped for a moment she turned around. "Trunks I have to do this" she had tears in her eyes. I grabbed her face "I know that babe, and if you're safe with anyone it's my dad. Shouldn't I really come with you?" She shook no. The less people the better. Vixy came and sat on Lilly`s shoulder. Lilly lifted her off her shoulder "Vixy, go with Trunks. Bulla needs you now that her daddy is not around for a bit ok?" The little dragon crawled onto my shoulders. I pressed a kiss to her lips. She walked into the ship. My father was waiting for her. He gave me a nod, she was safe with him.
Back with the rest I gave Vixy to Bulla "take good care of her Bulla". They ran off together. "Okay so as I understand it correctly Vegeta and Lilly are now on a ship and going to a planet of the Frieza-force where Lilly`s father lives. And if there is also Lilly`s mother who Vegeta also knows?" Piccolo tried to explain as best he could. But my mother was very angry and worried. She turned to Beerus, can`t you just take your god powers there and fix this?" "Unfortunately I may use my total destruction powers for simple living problems." With that he was suddenly gone, no idea where. "Mom, does Dad ever talk about anyone called Vino?" I asked. My mom looked at me "She was someone on his team from the Frieza force, that's all I know". The conversation between my father and that hologram guy played in my head. Dad asked Lilly`s father "Vino is alive there with you?" and he was so shocked and I never saw him angry like this. My mother looked so worried. Then we saw a ship flying into the sky.
POV Lilly
Just before we finished the ship, Beerus came in. "Hey little Lil." I looked at my friend "You almost forgot this" he dropped the handle of my whip into my hand. Through all the chaos I had lost it. I hugged him "If I didn't have you, I really wouldn't be anywhere B". I took a step back and B grabbed something from his pocket. It was some kind of gold collar with a sapphire stone. He put it on me "Lil listen, I'm not allowed to intervene. But if there is no way out call my name. I'll give you this; it's a kind of emergency button. But I will be there as a god and I will do my duty as one". He looked at me seriously. I gave him another tickle behind his ear. Vegeta called me to the cockpit. "See you soon B" and Beerus was gone. I sat down next to Vegeta.
He looked at me and raised an eyebrow. "My son can't afford that" I began to laugh "If one of your best friends is a god and wants to be there for you in his own way." Vegeta shook his head. He entered the coordinates of planet #213 a computer tuned followed "Expected arrival time in 52 hours". I looked surprised but not surprised. "My pod was a lot slower than that". Vegeta laughed, "of course this ship was made by my brilliant wife". He was always so proud of his wife, they are so different and so the same sometimes. I wondered what it would be like to have two parents like them. I only had a distant evil father. And maybe a mother, on to #213
We took off; we sat next to each other in the cockpit. I watched the starry sky form around us. It was beautiful there, but I had uneasy feeling. I so didn't want to go back, I was so glad to be out of there. I was slowly getting a life on earth. For the first time I was happy. But he had my mother, I remembered a picture of a beautiful woman but so sad. "Vegeta, what did my mother look like?" Vegeta looked at me and sighed deeply. "She was a lady" was his answer.
POV Vegeta
I gave Lilly a quick course on the ship. Flying, basic use and of course landing. I was not allowed in the cockpit or actually in the ship when we landed. She had to signal when she found Vino. We had to proceed with caution. Luckily we had little ear pieces for communication. She took everything in quickly "Now go to sleep, I'll fly for a bit" she went to the back and looked for a place to sleep. Slowly my thoughts drifted to Vino, my Vino. She was still alive and I had declared her dead. Had I missed something? Her last moments played in my mind. I missed something, but what!
"Vegeta are you there" I heard Bulma through the radio. "Bulma, I'm here" I replied. "How's the flight going?" I heard her act big, I heard it in her voice. "All quiet here" I responded. "Oh Bulma, don't worry. We'll be back in one piece. I promise". I could already hear her eyes rolling "I will do if I were you". I chuckled "Oh and Bulma" it was silent for a moment. "Yes Vegeta, I know" she replied. "As long as you never forget that" I didn't have to tell my wife that I loved her, she knew. "Vegeta?" I heard. "Yes, I know. Give a hug to Bulla and tell Trunks his girl is safe". The radio crackled for a moment "Will do, see you soon".
About an hour or two later, Lilly walked into the cockpit. "Do you need me to fly for a while?" she looked at me still a little drowsy. "You get your rest," I looked at her, the more I looked the more I saw Vino. The eyes were already obvious, but also the nose and when she was angry she could look stern. "What?" she asked amused. I shook my head "don't you remember anything about your mother at all? Or are there perhaps prisoners or cells where people are kept?" I saw her thinking but her eyes became desperate because she couldn't find the answer. "We will find her" I promised.
POV Trunks
They were now fifty hours on the way. We have been in radio contact and they will arrive in two hours. Goten and I were sitting by the radio. "Kids, don't you want to follow what's going to happen?" We saw the angel standing there. Goten and I shared a look of confusion. We walked out with him. Meanwhile, Piccolo, Krillin, 18 and Goku had arrived. Lilly`s god friend Beerus was sitting quietly on a lounge chair drinking a cocktail. Fortuneteller Baba sat ready with her ball. "Oh we can watch live, how clever" and sat down close to the ball, Goten threw me a Coke. "Sigh but we don't even know who this Vino is or if she's really there" my mom looked worried. Then Whis got an idea "Wait I'll be right back" and cheerfully said goodbye.
Five minutes later, Whis appeared again. "Ok, she is not dead, and I have two men who can tell me more about Vino." And behind Whis appeared two large individuals. One man was very tall, bald head, small mustache and looked very angry. The other man was also tall but not as tall as the other, had extremely long and long hair. The men looked around a bit puzzled. Piccolo looked sternly at the big man "Nappa". Goku looked surprised at the other "Raditz?" The two Saiyans looked at the company they had come into. "What kind of joke is this" asked Nappa the big one. "Explain Kakarot" and the man with the long hair looked at Goku. Then mom came and stood in front of them "Do you know Vino?" Raditz looked startled and Nappa only got angrier.
They took too long to answer "Talk" I stood up, my girlfriend was on her way and I didn't know where she was going. I stood up next to my mother with my arms crossed. Nappa spit on the ground "We don't say anything". But Raditz looked at us, his expressions even softened a little. "Vino was our crewmate, years ago". Nappa started to laugh "Oh Raditz are you still sad that your little lady friend is dead". Raditz looked angrily at Nappa "she was your niece, how can you laugh about this. Nappa shook his head "I never asked for that. She was a burden on us, the fun started when she was out of the game". Raditz formed a fist, he was getting angry. "But she's not dead, is she Whis" I and everyone looked at Whis. Whis had lain down next to Beerus and also already had a cocktail in hand "no she's not in the afterlife".
POV Lilly
There it was planet #213 from the original residents there were a handful left including my father. The planet was pretty much destroyed. All resources had been drained, it was gray, dark and the weather was always terrible. At one time it had been a beautiful planet, but over fifty years ago destruction had taken place. And it had fallen into the hands of Frieza. Vegeta went over the plan one more time. He went to the back. He brought his ki to almost zero. I landed the ship as it was explained to me. It was tricky, but it worked out fairly well. Time to face my demon. I walked to the door of the large lab. I saw soldiers on the roof. A big explosion followed and the ship blew up. Vegeta! The door opened, my father walked out "my sweet little girl" and wanted to hug me. I took a step back; I had tears in my eyes. Stay away from me!
