"So they are a hearty people?"

"Yes, also skilled warriors. The strongest of the power levels are near or above Dodoria."

"Hmph explains why Frieza hasn't launched an all out assault."

"He could simply send that Ginyu Force of his."

"They'd be annihilated without a platoon of grunts Vega. And they refuse to use aid. Frieza knows this and thus hasn't dispatched them."

She pulls at the neckline of her clothing. "Ugh i absolutely despise dresses."

Kakarot looks up and quirks and eyebrow. "It's very...Interesting."

"Stop looking at me. Its rather unnerving." She turns her back to him partly to hide her embarrassment

"It looks nice on you. Besides it probably feels more comfortable than...this." he gestures at his armor

"Sorry we didnt have anything your size. Your measurements are rather unique."

"Same could be said for you." He mumbles quietly.

"Commander we are approaching Corvega, permission to begin landing procedures?"

"Permission granted Captain, be advised we are approaching as a diplomatic envoy. Please follow all rules, customs and regulations presented to you in our earlier briefing."

"You briefed him? It seems you're more suited for this leader of a race thing than I am, want my job?" She says jokingl

He opens his mouth but the ships comm system sparks to life

"Affirmative. Deploying communications array, Attempting to establish contact...Contact established. Commander, communications are being routed through your scouters."

"This is Commander Kakarot of the Saiyan Hegemony, designation K1774 requesting permission to land." Kakarot looks over to Vega as he gets no response. He turns off his scouters outgoing audio.

"Captain run a full sca-"

"Full scan complete. Sending it to your display now."

As the image appears Vega steps forward. "They're preparing for war. Captain, kill power to aft and fore weapons we dont want to appear even slightly hostile."

"Commander Kakarot? This is Nyx Kriods, Governor of the city state Wayld. You have come to our home at a rather difficult time. Please disengage from your current course and return home. Corvega will be of no assistance to you."

As Kakarot reaches to his scouter preparing to unmute his end; his hand is smacked away from his head.

"Nyx? This is Princess Vega. You've visited my father on occasion. We seek only a refuel."

"Vega?! Where is the King? Your father? Commander Bardock?"

Kakarot rolls his eyes "Oh noooow he's concerned. Son of a bitch." Kakarot taps his scouter before Vega can respond. "Governor Nyx both my father and King Vegeta are in recovery tanks. They sustained several severe injuries on our most recent mission."

"What? Commander. I'm sending directions to docking station B13. Tell your pilot to begin an approach vector. I'll send word and have a medical unit on standby."

"Much appreciated Governor. I'll ready a report and have it on hand when docking is secured."

"No need Commander. Just tell me one detail."

"Sir?"

"Your assailant. Whom might it be?"

"The Arcosian..."Kakarot looks over to Vega as she squeezes the railing in front of her. He gently lays a hand on her shoulder. "Frieza".

"Then I guess the enemy of our enemy is a friend. Welcome to Corvega Commander. Princess Vega I look forward to seeing you once more."

Both Saiyans remove their scouters. Vega runs a hand through her unruly hair and turns to her companion.

"Well look at that. You didn't threaten anyone." She says with a tired smile.

Kakarot crosses his arms and leans against the wall "I was closer than you think to telling him how I was gonna use his left arm as a eating utensil." He pushes off the wall and walks over to Vega. "You seem tired. You should get some rest. We still got atleast a hour before we fully dock."

She shakes her head gently "I'm going to check on our fathers, Prep them for removal from the tanks." She begins to move pass Kakarot but before she can pass him he snakes a arm around her waist.

"Vega. Get some sleep. Let the egg heads handle all of that." She looks to him expecting to see his normal smile but she's met with an unusually stern expression. "That's an order."

She looks down and brushes her thumb over his knuckles then immediately narrows her eyes at him "The only way you could ever give me an order is if we have been wed."

His stern expression is replaced with a sly grin "Dropping hints ma'am? You are lovely my lady but I do not think my mother would approve of me being engaged at a mere 17 years of age."

She pulls his arm from around her and pushes it down forcefully. "Ugh please I'd sooner marry Paragus."

"Ha. As if. You know his beard is too ragged for your taste." Kakarot smiles and leans in slightly

She reaches out and touches his jaw then makes a sad face. "I've always thought facial hair was cute." She then slaps his cheek gently "I'll take your 'suggestion' and try to get some shut eye. Don't let me sleep too long."

As she walks away Kakarot rubs his jaw then smiles and says to himself "I shave vega...I shave"

-Vega-

As she rounds the corner to her quarters she beings to think about the last couple days 'Things were so much simpler when I could spend all day gossiping. Now I have scars and split ends.' She opens her door and immediately begins to take off her dress. "I am NOT wearing this." She steps out of the dress and walks to her armor locker. As it senses movement the doors slide open to reveal several suits of fresh, unused, armor.

Grabbing one of the suits she heads into the bathroom and after a quick shower she begins to get dressed once again electing to not wear the armors chest piece. Glancing into mirror she ponders trying to tame her hair. Chuckling to herself she says "Who am I kidding. Im a Saiyan. My hair yields to nothing."

She looks at her bed and sighs. Her body now feeling heavy she slumps over and flops down onto the bed, falling asleep immediately.

"Wake up."

Vega turns to her side and opens a eye only to have her field of view filled with the black of a saiyan jumpsuit. "Kakarot?" She rolls back over "Give me 5 more minutes"

"GET UP!" The voice yells causing her to jump out of bed.

"What the he-...you are not Kakarot."

"What gave it away? My astonishingly good looks?"

"Why are you here. What do you want from us?" She says

"For you to stop stealing power that isn't yours."

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Really? Do you believe you just came up with the Galick Gun on your own? Oh it came to you in a dream? "

"I..."

"Tch whatever. I was ASKED to come train you and since we only have a hour i suggest you ready yourself for I, Vegeta, Prince of ALL Saiyans, will show no mercy."

"You're absolutely delusional if you think you can order me around." She begins to turn away but her senses alert her to approaching danger and she immediately dives to the left.

A massive blue ki ball sails past her as her eyes widen.

"Haha I call it the Big Bang Attack. Now stay still so I can hit you with it."

"Captain?" Kakarot says as he enters the cockpit.

"Commander?"

"Kakarot is fine. Much preferred actually."

"Yes commander I mean uh Kakarot."

For the first time Kakarot looks over at the Captain and notices his youthful appearance. "How old are you?"

"Um I'm um 24 sir." The man says his hands shaking slightly.

"You're nervous?"

"Slightly sir. This is my first mission without my father at the helm of the ship."

Kakarot hangs his head then looks out the window at the planet in the distance "Captain. We are all in the same boat. We were put in our places because the leader of our race foresaw great things in us. You piloting this ship alone is testament to your above average skills."

He stands and puts a hand on the pilots shoulder. "I'm only 17 and I'm about to embark on a diplomatic mission. Whether this goes good or bad we will need an amazing truly talented pilot to get this rust bucket...our rust bucket home. You know that. I know that and The King knew that. Your butt is planted in that seat because you are the best."

The Captain stops shaking as much and seems to relax more in his chair

"Nealus sir. My name is Nealus Akuji."

"I know Captain. I'm simply paying homage to your position. Although if you like I will use your name during less...strenuous circumstances."

Nealus looks up at his new acquaintance and smiles. "I'd like that."

Cracking a genuine smile Kakarot flops back down into the co-pilot's chair "Alright then Nealus, tell me how this rust bucket works."

"Well it all starts with that sexy MT90 Quad Fusion Core in the back of the ship."
