Author Notes: Funny little story before the real story, (lol). I was about to release this chapter, like 4 days ago, but I got really sick and had to delay it until now. I got so frustrated with that, but oh well. What can we do.

Caulifla's body stirred as she slowly began to regain consciousness. She tried to lift her head, but felt completely out of energy, her muscles twitches and tremble, and yet she couldn't move an inch. With a heavy growl, Caulifla opened her eyes, getting view of a bright white ceiling right above her. She tried one more time to get up, but a firm and yet gently touch pushed her down to the bed.

"Hey there." Cabba is sat on a chair, right beside her bed. He placed one hand on her left cheek, calmly caressing it. "How are you feeling?"

"I feel like shit." Caulifla tried to speak in her normal loud way, but her voice came out very low and cracked. "Where are we?" She looked to the walls and the blue curtains, around the bottom and right side of her bed, not recognizing the room at all.

"We are back at miss Bulma's base." Cabba said with a bit of hesitation.

"Here again, huh?" Caulifla pouted, recovering a bit of her usual energy. "Damn, what happened there?" She grabbed Cabba's hand, practically forcing him to help her sit up.

"Well, you exhausted yourself with the Super Saiyan 3 transformation." He grabbed both of her hands, entangling his fingers in hers. "Even after a few hours you wouldn't wake up, so I brought you back here." Cabba frowned, his eyes shinned like they were about to cry. "You got me really scared back there."

Caulifla let out a chuckle, as she leaned to the side, resting her forehead on Cabba's chest. "But you saw how amazing I was?" Her voice now cheerful as ever.

"Yeah, completely amazing." Cabba said in return.

"And very sexy too, don't forget about that." She backed a bit, just to stare at Cabba's eyes. A playful smirk on her lips.

"How could I? You're the most sexy, beautiful and awesome woman I ever met." He is the one that leaned forward this time, placing a quick kiss on her lips, and then another one, more passionate and longer.

"Easy there, tiger." Caulifla softly pushed Cabba back. "You know how much I love when you get so fired up, but I don't think I can keep up with you right now." She laughed and kisses Cabba on the right cheek, right then she felt the rough state of Cabba's skin, with a lot of cuts and bruises, but only on that side of his face. Caulifla took her eyes to the spot, cursing herself for not noticing that sooner. "Cabba, where did you get this?" She ran her fingers on the marks, making the soldier hiss in pain.

"I was hoping you wouldn't notice that." Cabba showed her a guilty grin, scratching the back of his head with his right hand.

Caulifla only frowned and kept staring at him.

With a heavy sigh, the young saiyan soldier looked to the side, trying to find where he should begin. "After the lizards, someone else decided to show up." After a brief pause, he looked back to Caulifla, a scowl forming on his face. "Henkanegi… He confessed everything, the queen's murder and Asparus' kidnap, it was all him."

"Negi?!" Caulifla tilted her head to the side, a bit confused. And then a realization came to her. "That freak?" She said in a very loud voice. "I knew he was not a good thing. But he was the one behind all this mess? And how did he made everyone think it was you?"

"I saw him transform into me right in front of my eyes." Cabba bit his lips in anger. "He even transformed into you, just to mess with me."

She felt chills run down her spine, just the thought of someone using her body image to do something, making Caulifla's body cringe.

"Janola said something about shapeshifters, I think that Negi is something like that." Cabba frowned.

"And he made this to you?" Caulifla asked, placing her hand on his face again. "Didn't you beat him before?"

Cabba chuckled making Caulifla raise an eyebrow. "When I tried to jump on him, a strange masked guy appeared out of nowhere." He tapped carefully her hand, that is on top of his wounds. "He was crazy strong, when he pressed my face against the ground, I couldn't do anything. I was so angry and pissed, even so, I couldn't move at all or even raise my ki."

She noticed his voice wavering and an unfamiliar glint in his eyes, almost like he is afraid of someone. "Are you scared of this guy? Is he that strong?" Caulifla herself tensed in her bed, just looking at Cabba's strange behavior is enough to make her nervous too.

The soldier shook his head to the side, a shy smile on his lips. "I am not scared of his power, at least I don't think so." He took his eyes to the side, staring at the white walls behind Caulifla. "It were his eyes; they were not normal."

"Eyes?!" Caulifla tilted her head to the side, feeling a bit confused.

"Yeah. The only thing I could see behind his mask, were that red and emotionless eyes." Cabba looked back to Caulifla. "When I look at you, I see passion and determination in your eyes." He leaned forward pressing his forehead to hers. "When I looked at Negi today, I saw malice and madness. But this masked guy, his eyes… I saw nothing."

"What else is bugging you?" She asked abruptly. "You can't be this shaken just because of a creepy guy's eyes."

"Asparus is here." As soon as Cabba finished the sentence, they heard a large thump, coming from the other side of the wall. Cabba pulled himself back, straightening himself in his chair.

"Wait, how do you know it? Did you find him already?" For some reason, Caulifla felt really excited and full of energy after hearing that.

"Negi himself told us, not only that Asparus is here, but…" He hesitated for a second, just remembering the words Negi said, is enough to make his blood boil and a deep anger aflame inside him. "He is torturing Asparus too."

Ever since they got on Earth, Kale has been feeling very anxious and especially nervous around all these strangers. She hardly leaves Caulifla's side, but she also knows that her friend wants and needs a bit of space and privacy, even more so when Cabba is next to her. After their brought Caulifla back to the big underground base, Kale kept walking by herself in the most empty hallways that she could find, wandering alone and lost in thoughts, only made her uneasiness grow, as of now, not only Asparus is missing, but her best friend is now unconscious in a bed.

Kale decided to go check on Caulifla, before she would lose her mind for just worrying by herself. She quickly made her way to the improvised infirmary, close to the east tunnels. When she got right in front of the door, she stopped in her tracks, after hearing some voices coming from the other side.

"Eyes?!" Kale instantly cheered up, after hearing Caulifla's voice.

"She is awake." Kale whispered to herself. The young saiyan woman, felt a huge urge to just enter the room and be with her friends, but another side of her knew that shouldn't. Not being able to make up her mind, Kale just kept staring at the door, guiltily hearing the conversation between Cabba and Caulifla.

Kale took a step back, moving her eyes away from the door. She held both hands on her chest, again the uneasiness settling in, even being the right thing to do, she doesn't want to walk away, she doesn't want to be alone on a strange environment again.

"Asparus is here." This time Cabba's voice was the one getting her attention.

Kale froze instantly, losing her footing for a moment, she tried to held herself on the wall with her left hand, but her fingers slid down with sweat, causing her to hit her head on the concrete surface of the wall.

'He is here?!' Kale felt a huge relief filling her chest. "Asparus is here…" She whispered again, now an innocent smile showing on her lips. Kale sat on the ground, leaning her back against the wall and holding, with both arms, her knees in front of her chest.

"Negi himself told us, not only Asparus is here but…" Kale pressed the back of her head lightly on the wall, desperately to hear anything about the saiyan prince. "He is torturing Asparus too."

Cabba's words cut through Kale's heart, like a sharp blade. All the hope and joy she had just embraced, are now completely gone. Feeling confused and lost, Kale jumped out of the ground, ready to bust the door open and cry her heart out, but even that felt painfully futile to her. Instead, she slowly turned herself away, walking back to the lonely side halls.

'Why would someone do all this to him?' Kale felt a single tear form in her left eye. 'Why him? He never did anything to anyone.' Kale's sadness and sorrow, started to shift and change to something else. For the first time she is feeling hatred for someone, an emotion that had never entered her thoughts.

"I will never forgive him." Kale silently whispered, clenching her fists in pure anger. She has almost no memory of Henkanegi, besides their short encounter on the market square, but now… She is never going to forget about him. For a split second, her ki flared all the way up, shaking the entire underground building.

"Gah, you too?" A soldier standing close to the exit, called out to Kale. His voice startled the saiyan girl, who without having noticed has walked all the way to the front part of the base.

"S-Sorry?" She looked to the man, holding her shoulders low. "I didn't mean to."

"What? You don't want to go outside too?" The man ran two fingers on his mustache, his eyes staring at her.

"Oh…" Kale looked back, to the dark hallway behind her. It felt like the darkness was trying to suck her in, the walls seeming closer and closer, making the girl's breath accelerate and her head tingle in discomfort. "Y-Yeah, I need to go out."

"Figures, no one come to this part just to have a chat with me." The middle-aged man slapped himself on the left cheek and then smiled to her. "Apologies for my grumpy mood, is just my old back giving me some troubles again." He whistled and patted his sides. "Nothing makes an old man angrier than his aged body nagging in pain at him."

Kale just nodded in response, she usually gives a lot of attention to elderly people, as she always end up remembering about her father, but her mood is also less than ideal to a small talk.

"Anyway, just stay alert." The soldier raised one finger. "I told this to your saiyan friends that just left; you can't never be too safe out there." The man moved away from the stairs and with a click of a button, he opened the hatch door up in the ceiling.

Outside on the surface, the sun has already set, leaving only the shining stars and the beautiful full moon to cast light upon this side of the Earth. Kale found for herself a little peaceful place, a tiny green garden sitting lonely between the semi collapsed buildings, not too far away from the base. The saiyan girl quietly stood crouched beside the flowers, running her fingers on the fragile petals with a lot of care.

"They look similar to the ones back home." Feeling a bit of fatigue on her knees, she decided to sat down on the dirty ground, her eyes now drifting upwards, towards the bright stars in the sky.

'My mother used to sing a special song to me every night.' Her memories stirred up, Asparus' voice sounded so close, so real.

The tears she fought so much to hold back, are slowly starting to come out. "Sky… With your thousand bright lights… Can you bring him back to me?" Kale buried her face on her kneecaps, sobbing and mumbling.

"Hi there." Yamcha walked over to the little secret garden. "I heard that you were wandering alone in the dark, so I came here to check up on you." The black-clothed captain eyed the girl figure; he noticed her arms trembling and the muffled sound of her voice. "Are you feeling okay?"

Kale raised her head, a couple of tears still flowing down on her cheeks. "I-I am fine." She wiped the wet spots on her face and looked away to the side.

"Well, it doesn't look like that." Yamcha strolled a few steps forwards, satting at Kale's side. "Ah… this place is always nice." He glanced to the side, but got no reaction out of the girl. "I will take a guess and say that you are thinking about your missing saiyan friend."

His last phrase made Kale stir; she looked at him, a bit of confusion and a lot of suspicion on her eyes. "How did you?"

"Your tall friend told me." He responded immediately. "He must be very important, for you guys to care so much to come all the way here." Yamcha discreetly glanced to the side, carefully watching her.

"He is…" Kale held her words. She debated on what to say. Asparus definitely is important, not only to her but to everyone in Sadala. "He is a prince." She decided to omit, why the prince is so important to her.

"Wow, a prince?" The captain's eyes sparkled with interest. "How big is his kingdom, it is like a country or even an empire?" In a childlike curiosity, Yamcha bombarded the saiyan girl with questions.

"A-A country?" She shook her head, not entirely sure, if she had understood what the captain just said. "He is the saiyan prince."

"What? Prince of the entire saiyan race?" Yamcha stood up, gaping at the revelation. "That is amazing, it must be so cool be a prince of your race."

"I-I don't think he likes it, at least not that much." She giggled, remembering of the couple of times that Asparus complained about his lineage to the throne.

"I bet he is amazingly strong and brave, like you guys are."

"He is brave and strong in his own way." Kale giggled again, taking both hands to her lips, covering her mouth.

"Hm…. And I imagine he is very handsome too, being a prince and all."

"Y-Yeah, he is… Sometimes I wonder if he knows how charming he is." A slight blush appeared on her cheeks.

"Are you two close?" He asked bluntly.

Kale said nothing in response; she just glanced to the side, her face quickly turning fully red with embarrassment.

Yamcha let out a low sigh. "Sorry if I am prying in too much." he scratched the back of his head and looked away from her. "I just like to talk about life and all that; I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."

Kale looked back to the captain, and for the first time, she noticed the scar on his left cheek. "He has a scar on his face, just like you." She pointed with one finger, shyly staring at Yamcha's face.

"Then he is cool on my book." Yamcha winked at her. "There is nothing cooler than a badass scar." He walked closer and patted her on the left shoulder. "All saiyans are so powerful, I am sure you are going to find your prince, still in one piece. So don't worry."

"Thanks." Kale smiled gently to him. All the turmoil in her heart disappeared after their little chat.

Yamcha blushed and smiled too. "Damn, that is a cute smile." He leaned a bit closer and began to whisper. "You should smile more often, no prince will resist that."

"Come on Black Wolf, have you no shame?" Krillin said with a disappointed voice. The bald soldier walked his way from a hill, from the west side of the garden, a few other soldiers with him. "Are you making a move on another girl, what about the other one from a week ago?"

"Excuse me?" Yamcha walked away from Kale, stomping his way to Krillin. "I am not flirting with her, she is just a kid. Moreover, what is this perfect timing of yours? Were you spying on us?"

"I don't spy on anyone, even more with this type of thing." Krillin spat back, flinging his arms into the air. "And it was YOU who told us to come here, have you forgotten already?"

"My bad, I had forgotten about that." Yamcha bowed his head in apology.

Krillin took one hand to his face. "You better have told Bulma about this, because Chi-Chi is already inside your base."

Yamcha went completely pale, a shocked expression rushed to his face. "The fire mountain queen is here?" He gulped and took both hands to his head. "This is bad, this is so bad."

Two pairs of curious eyes watched the whole scene unfold. Janola and Coorin are standing on top of one of the buildings surrounding the little clear area.

"You think he could be a problem?" Coorin asked.

"I don't think so, he is just curious about us. On a more suspicious assumption, you can say that he is scouting information about us to protect his people." Janola responded his partner, but his eyes now already focused on another place.

"And you just sang his song and told him a lot, didn't you?" The smaller saiyan eyed Janola.

"Well, the guy is very charismatic. I couldn't help it." Janola grinned, waving his right hand in apology.

"I should just hit you in the head, but I feel that is going to be for nothing." Coorin sighed in disappointment.

"Did you see how many of those purple clothed soldiers walked inside the base just now?" Janola pointed to the other side, away from the garden.

"No, I was way too entertained by that secret date down there." Coorin tilted his head down, signaling to the group of people on the garden.

"Maybe we should check inside, the captain seemed a bit scared of this queen." Janola rubbed his lower lips with one finger.

Coorin jumped at his partner's back, wrapping his right arm around his neck. "Haha. That could be fun. Maybe we can see some action in there."

"Aren't you a bit too excited for this? Is not like they will fight or anything." Janola grabbed Coorin's arm and launched him in the air.

The saiyan spun around, stopping midair, upside down, looking down at the base entrance. "You never know, let's go and see for ourselves." Coorin launched his way down, descending right in front of the hatcht.

"Just don't start any fight yourself, please." Janola made his way down after Coorin. He already dreaded the thought of Coorin starting another fight.

"We better hurry up; she is already inside the command center." Yamcha yelled back, to the group following him.

"Dammit Yamcha, If you just had settled everything instead of waste time making some moves on that girl, we wouldn't be having this problem." Krillin yelled back. "And where is her?" He looked behind him and did not found Kale.

"Just shut up baldy, I was not flirting with that girl, jeez." Yamcha stopped and turned to face Krillin. "And she said something about getting to her friends, so don't worry about her."

A loud crashing sound exploded out of the command room, startling all the soldiers in the hallway. "Oh, crap. They are going at it already." Krillin jumped forward, passing by Yamcha and slamming the door open.

"Say that again, I dare you." Bulma shouted at the top of her lungs. She is entangled with another woman, holding and pulling her hair.

The woman, now in the middle of a fight with Bulma, is a very imposing person; she has a very long black hair and a fiery glare on her eyes. She wears a dark blue steel armor, under it is a dark purple clothes covering most of her skin, and without this piece of cloth, her body would by mostly exposed. Her boots are red, matching her gloves and cape. While her physique is quite small, her curvatures are very bountiful, with her breasts almost not fitting inside her blue combat armor.

"Get away from me, you blue haired freak." The black haired woman yelled back.

Krillin rushed inside, getting between both women. While he pulled his queen back, Yamcha tried to pull Bulma away too. "Please, calm down. We didn't came here to fight." He almost fell back when the woman trashed around, trying to free herself from him.

"Bulma, you too. Why do you cause a scene every time?" Yamcha just pulled her away enough to release her behind him.

"She was the one that started a fight." Bulma yelled, pointing a finger at Chi-Chi.

"I just said the truth." With a firm response, Chi-Chi tossed Krillin to the side and stomped forward yet again. "It is your fault that Red Ribbon have that much power now."

"How dare you!" Bulma tried to run at the woman, but Yamcha held her on place. "I never helped them, never."

"Yeah? Then who made those robots to them?" The queen pointed her finger at the blue haired woman. "You are the only robot brain that I know."

"And I take pity on you for that. Know that it has a lot more on the world than just the things you know about." Bulma's rage finally settled as she decided to turn away and leave Chi-chi talking alone.

"Run away, you coward, is it easier than facing the truth." The imposing woman tried to follow Bulma up the stairs, but Yamcha blocked her way.

"Please, calm down your highness." Yamcha bowed his head in respect. "If we just start to shout at each other is not going to help anyone."

"How I am supposed to calm down, when Red Ribbon just invaded my lands and took my people as hostage?" Chi-chi's words made Bulma turn around and face her again.

"Wait, what?!" Bulma jumped back down from the platform.

"Red Ribbon attacked? Dammit, I thought you were here because of the saiyans." Yamcha glanced at Krillin, who just nodded, a sad expression on his face.

"They marched on the mountain, right after we had left to see the newcomers from space this morning." Krillin explained.

"They attacked us with everything. I never saw that many robots together." Chi-chi clenched her left fist in front of her, the fabric of her gloves making a fierce sound. "We fought so much; we tried so hard, but in the end… They overwhelmed us."

"I am sorry to hear about that." Bulma said with a complacent voice. She walked all the steps of the stairs down, getting very close to the fire mountain queen. "We will help you in any way we can."

"Damn right we will." A soldier in the back of the room yelled, and others started to cheer with him.

Without saying a word of gratitude, Chi-Chi only nodded her head firmly, which was more than enough for Bulma to understand. For a prideful woman, like the fire mountain queen, to openly express her gratitude was an unthinkable thing, but that simple gesture was more than enough to convey her feelings.

"We can help too." Janola got everyone's attention after speaking. Both he and Coorin are standing on a corner close to the wall.

"Are you sure?" Yamcha asked. "This is our problem. Red Ribbon is not an alien threat like those monsters from earlier."

"When innocents are in need, we fight to help them. Is part of our job, doesn't matter what the threat is." Coorin said with a cool voice, trying to fake indifference.

"Are these two the saiyans?" Chi-Chi quickly made her way to the two young soldiers, stopping right in front of Janola. "I heard a lot about your people. It is a pleasure to finally meet you."

Janola froze in place; he couldn't take his eyes away from the queen's figure, even if his life was dependent on it. With a powerful elbow to his side, Coorin waked his partner back reality again, making the taller saiyan crouch and growl in pain.

"It seems we have a lot of pleasure in meeting you too." Coorin angrily glared to Janola, still crouched with a hand in his abdomen. "Greetings aside, we will do what we can to help save your people."

Once again, Chi-Chi only nodded, and then glanced to the other saiyan, sobbing in pain. She chuckled and started herself to stare at the man's strong body.

"Wait a minute…" Janola recomposed himself, still with a heavy breath. "You said something about robots, right?"

"Indeed, I said. Why?" Chi-Chi stared at the saiyan, now for a different reason.

"Any of you know about a giant cat-like robot?" Janola asked; making everyone else, except Coorin, frown.

"You mean a giant robot tiger?" Yamcha asked. "That would be T.0.R.A.1, he is the biggest and most powerful robot Red Ribbon has ever made."

"Wait, isn't this Red Ribbon the bad guys? Why would their robot help us?" Coorin asked this time.

"T.0.R.A.1 is not on their control anymore." Bulma said. "He is a very advanced robot, advanced enough to brake free and think for himself."

"Which is a saving grace, if we had to fight that tiger, there would be no more resistance." Krillin rubbed his chin, smiling awkwardly.

"Nowadays he mostly keeps to himself, but when Red Ribbon tries to move a large number of their forces, T.0.R.A.1 tends to attack them." Yamcha explained. "That is the reason why we have a lot of space to walk around, otherwise everywhere would be filled with their robots."

"That was more than enough about the tiger, thank you." The taller saiyan soldier glanced to Coorin and nodded his head. "We will fly to your mountain and get their attention; the rest of the plan is up to you."

"I don't really like to fly into the heat without properly forming a plan, but Janola is right." Coorin replied. "If we start to mess with them right now, they will have less time to mess with the innocent people around them."

Yamcha jumped all the way from the stairs in the middle of the room, to the corner where the saiyans stands. He patted Coorin on the head and slapped Janola on the arm. "I knew I was right about you guys. I can't properly express how much we appreciate your help."

Coorin pushed the captain's hand away. "No need to. Just point us to the right way."

"Sure, sure." Yamcha grabbed Coorin by one arm, and started to drag him through the room, much to the smaller saiyan annoyance. "This is the place." He pointed in the map displaying on a transparent board. "Just got to fly straight west from here, and you will find it."

"West, huh?" Janola quickly scanned the map, founding a strange formation of land on that direction. "Then, we will be going." This time, he was the one dragging Coorin by one arm.

"Wait." Bulma called out to them. "Be safe out there, you already proved yourselves to us, you have no need to push your limits any more than is needed."

"Don't worry about it, old woman." With a very sly smirk on his face, Coorin replied. "I don't care about proving myself to anyone. I only fight because I want to. It is my job and ambition to save anyone that needs to be saved, no more and no less." With one last smart remark on his part, Coorin and Janola left.

Bulma clicked her tongue, but smiled right after. "I will let that insult pass, just because you're cute. You cocky saiyan brat."

"Ma'am, they already left." Yamcha said with a mocking voice.

"Shut up, wolf." Bulma stormed at her captain, throwing dirty glares at him.

"Kale, what's up with that sad look?" Caulifla called for her friend. Caulifla is now sitting on the edge of her bed, with Cabba sitting to her left side, holding her hand.

Kale is crouching on the side of the room, a little away from her friends. After finally entering the nursing room, she still kept mostly to herself, holding her knees close to her and not saying much. "I am just wondering where Asparus is." The shy saiyan girl said, her eyes going directly to Cabba.

"I know how you feel, if we just knew where he is…" Cabba felt Kale's gaze onto him, turn a lot colder as he started to lie. "But knowing Asparus, he probably has already trashed the placed they tried to keep him in."

Caulifla turned to face Cabba, she eyed him, felling a bit upset, but she decided not burst his bubble. "Whatever he is doing right now, when he comes back, I will beat him to a pulp until he learn how to defend himself."

Cabba chuckled and waved his hand in front of his face. "Come on Caulifla, that is a terrible way of teaching someone."

A soft knock came from the door, and then it quickly slide open. Yamcha walked in, a friendly grin on his face. "I'm happy to see that you guys are in good spirit."

"There is some problem, captain?" Cabba asked.

"Well, actually… a little one." He clapped both hands and closed his eyes. "You see, both of your friends have left on a mission for us."

"Coorin and Janola?" Cabba jumped out of the bed. "Why didn't they told anything to us?"

"That may be my fault." Yamcha scratched the back of his head. "I had a little chat with the bulky one and I told him to take care of you kids around here." He gave a sigh and looked up to the ceiling. "But unfortunately I forgot that he too is a kid. Might have been his size that threw me off, my bad."

"Can you stop calling us kids?" Caulifla shouted in annoyance.

"But you look like kids to me." Yamcha tilted his head to the side and stared at the girl. "How old are you?"

"Nine-teen. I am not a kid." The spiked haired girl shouted yet again.

"I am more than twice as old as you. That is enough for me to call you kid." The captain smirked and winked.

"Captain, please tell me where you have sent them?" The young saiyan soldier walked forward, stopping right in front of Yamcha.

"Sure, I can show you. That was my plan from the start, but…" Yamcha looked behind Cabba, to Caulifla and then to Kale. "Are you sure you want to go? It's going to be a lot more dangerous than this morning."

"Of course we will go; what a dumb question." Caulifla jumped out of her bed, firmly standing her ground. "And you don't even try to leave me behind." She pointed at Cabba.

Cabba smiled and shook his head. "Now that she knows about it, there is no turning back." He then ran his left hand on his hair. "No one can make Caulifla change her mind."

"Damn right, no one can." She grinned with confidence. "Now let's go help those two, no way will they be able to do anything without us."

'They have worked for more than a few year on their own; I am sure they can handle things by themselves.' Cabba thought of correcting her, but by this point he already knows better than try to do that.

"I can't believe you just kept staring at her boobs." Coorin yelled in an angry voice. He is flying a bit forward away from Janola.

"I wasn't staring at her breasts… I was looking to her armor, a very elegant and beautiful piece of combat equipment." Janola cleared his throat; he kept staring at Coorin, flying in front of him.

"Sure, her armor… Best lie of the year." Coorin pouted, he looked to the side giving an angry glare to his partner.

"Pipe down, little shrimp." Janola frowned. "I didn't even do anything."

Coorin stopped abruptly and turned to Janola. "What the hell did you just called me?"

"Oh shit." Janola powered up his ki, flying past Coorin at a very fast speed. "I am sorry Coorin, I didn't mean to."

Coorin quickly followed Janola, very closely, almost catching up to him. "What was that? Just stop for a moment, so I can accept your apologies."

Sweating in panic, Janola kept his fast pace. He glanced behind him just to watch the smaller saiyan with an angry scowl, almost venting fire out of his mouth. "Not happening."

"JANOOLAAA!" Coorin's irritated shout is one of the most scaring things Janola has ever heard in his life.

"This is the way, right?" Caulifla asked, like always she is the one ahead in the group.

"Yes, just keep going in a straight line and we will get there." Cabba responded to her. Both he and Kale are fliying at the same speed, side by side.

From between the clouds, a fast yellow beam of energy came flying towards the group, hitting Cabba directly, knocking him backwards. He gasped in surprise as the burning feeling ran through his arms.

"Cabba!" Both Caulifla and Kale yelled his name; they stopped and made their way back to him.

"What the hell?" Cabba scanned around, trying to find the source of the attack.

"Hey there, my friend." A voice erupted from the darkness. "Would you mind to stop for a moment to play a little with me?" Henkanegi flew forward, stopping not too far away from the group.

"NEGI!" Cabba snarled in anger. "I don't have time to waste with you right now."

"B-But…" Kale grabbed Cabba's left arm, however refrained herself from saying anything more.

"Too bad, you don't have a choice here." Negi showed an evil grin on his lips. "You are not going any further than this."

Without hesitation, Cabba dashed forward, throwing his right fist at Negi. However, the imposter saiyan grabbed the soldier hand before it could hit him. He swung Cabba around and tossing him down, finalizing with ki blast, pushing Cabba all the way to the ground.

Negi turned his eyes to the saiyan girls and smiled. "Can you ladies stay out of this, please?" In a very polity manner, he taunted them one more time.

"Kale, Let's destroy this retard." Caulifla shouted and jumped forward, with Kale following her.

"Ah… Too bad then." Negi snapped his fingers and with a gush of wind, a second person appeared behind him. "Deal with them; I want to have some time alone with Cabba."

Without giving even a sound for a response, the other figure in the shadows disappeared and quickly reappeared on top of the two girls. With a lash kick, he sent Caulifla crashing down to the ground, and then he grabbed Kale by her left arm, punching her directly on her chest, sending her flying down on top of Caulifla.

"What… What the hell was that?" Caulifla gently pushed Kale off and stood up again.

Cabba exploded the debris on top of him, with a powerful surge of golden light. Now in super saiyan form, he jumped out of the hole in the ground that his fall made and walked to where the others are.

Negi landed in front of them, right after. Then the masked man landed too. Now without being held to the ground and with the moon light illuminating them, Cabba could finally take a good look on this mysterious person.

The most eye-catching trait about him is the grey mask on his head; a big red orb adorned on the top part of it, glowing with an evil energy. He wears a light blue heavy shirt, with strange device stuck on it, with another red orb glowing on it. His blue pants, however, are strangely very familiar to Cabba, as if he has already saw them somewhere.

"Don't stare at people, didn't your parents teach you that is wrong to do that?" Negi Advanced to Cabba and threw a ball of energy onto him.

Cabba quickly hit it away, and blocked the punch Negi threw right after. Didn't take long, for the two of them to be locked in a close-range exchange of attacks, both walking furiously to all sides.

"And we get to deal with tin boy over here?" Caulicla cracked her fists. "Fine by me."

The man said nothing; he only kept staring at them, his red glowing eyes completely devoid of emotions.

Caulifla whistled and took her fighting stand. "Cabba is right; your eyes are damn scary." She moved her left foot just a little, budging only a bit closer, but it was enough to alert her opponent, who flew directly at her.

The masked man attacked her with a straight punch from the left, Caulifla blocked the initial hit, but the force of hit, threw her arms away, then a quick right punch clashed on her abdomen, sending him flying backwards. The red eyed menace, then raised his left hand, flows of a silver energy started to form in front of it; the ball rapidly increased in size, getting bigger than the boulders around in the place.

Kale jumped from the right, getting on top of her enemy. She extended her leg and waited for it to collide against the man's chest. However, she felt her body stop midair, when she got grabbed by her leg, the masked man changed his focus, now aiming the ball directly at Kale.

"W-what?" Kale could only watch in shock as the ball grew even larger, getting very close to her.

"Kale!" Caulifla released a red stream of energy, making it crash on the man's chest. The force and impact was enough to make him release Kale's leg and lose control of his own energy blast, who got fired to the other side upwards, clashing against a mountain. After a brief turmoil of light, the mountain was completely gone.

"Holy shit. If he hits us with that, we are gone." Caulifla cursed, but kept a smile on her face. "Time to take this seriously." With a mighty shout, Caulifla transformed into super saiyan, she tried to go even further, but her body trembled with pain, making her settle for only the first stage.

"R-Right." Kale on the other hand, transformed directly to super saiyan 2, but this time retaining the control over her mind.

"Let's go, Kale!" Caulifla shouted very loudly, a bright smirk on her lips.

"Look at them, so brave and strong… Beautilful, don't you think?" Negi taunted Cabba.

"Shut up." Cabba pressed forward, making his punches faster and stronger.

"This is the best feeling, having so much power, so much freedom to conquest anything you want." Negi chuckled as he jumped a few feet away from Cabba. "Truly a bliss."

"Aren't you getting a bit too ahead of yourself?" Cabba grinned back to Negi. "You are not that strong, I don't even need super saiyan 2 to beat you again."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." The imposter waved one finger. "Don't be so sure about that and more over…" Negi whispered a laugh in the wind. "I'm not talking about me."

Cabba felt his blood turn cold, when he followed Negi's eyes; he noticed Caulifla and Kale, fighting together against the masked man.

"If you take too long playing with me, your pretty girlfriend is going to die." This time Negi's laugh thundered all over the place, his eyes glinting with a spark of evil.

Caulifla and Kale continued to Attack at the same time with a fast and powerful combination of strikes. Yet the masked man only focused on evading and blocking Kale's attacks while letting Caulifla's attacks hit him directly, seaming not fazed at all by it.

"Dammit, are you messing with me, you bastard?" Caulifla yelled in frustration. "Then take this." She jumped backwards and held one hand up. "Crush Cannon." A stream of red balls of energy started to fly towards her opponent.

Kale quickly jumped to the side to evade the attack, right then, the first balls got on their target, hitting the masked man.

"Are you going to ignore me now? Huh? Say it, your freak." Caulifla shouted yet again, the intensity of her attack getting bigger and bigger.

A flash of silver appeared behind her, fast enough that her eyes didn't got even a glimpse of it.

"Sis! Behind you." Kale yelled and pointed to Caulifla, her voice cracked in despair.

"What the-?!" Caulifla turned her face just to see the man right behind her.

With a quick charge of his attack, the masked man unleashed a gigantic wave of silver energy, but Kale quickly jumped in front of it, shielding Caulifla of the first impact, but it was not enough to guard her of the rest. A catastrophic explosion erupted from the point of impact, engulfing both saiyan girls, vanishing them inside the blinding storm of silver light.

"And looks like time is up." Negi held his hand in front of Cabba, his finger pointing to the side.

Cabba stared in shock as both girls disappeared from his sight. "CAULIFLAAAA!" He tried to run towards the light, but a fierce kick coming from Negi tossed him backwards.

"Not so fast friend, I am here still, remember?" Henkanegi crouched in front of Cabba, dangling his fist in the air.

After the light finally died out, the masked man stepped on the edge of the giant crater. He noticed both Caulifla and Kale lying unconscious on the bottom of it. Both back to their base form. He jumped all the way down and grabbed them by their clothes, each with a different hand.

After his vassal walked out of the pit, with both saiyans on his hands, Negi jumped in surprise. "Oh, would you look at that. They're alive." Negi clapped his hands with a giant smile on his face. "Saiyans truly are amazing."

"Get out of my way…" Cabba whispered in a very low voice.

"What was that?" Negi asked, getting closer to the saiyan soldier.

"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" Cabba's fist exploded on Negi's face, launching the imposter far away to the mountains. His aura exploded again in a golden light, but this time it is much bigger and stronger, powerful enough to make sparks of lighting to explode around him.

Cabba suddenly appeared on top of the masked man, his body never moved so fast in his life. His entire body propelled his fist down, making it clash in a violent explosion of power right in the middle of the grey mask, shattering it to million pieces.

The man growled in pain, as his body got launched to the ground, forcing him to lose grip of the two saiyan girls. The man's reddish brown hair quickly flourish into is usual style after getting free of the mask hold. His red emotionless eyes stared a Cabba and then Kale lying on the ground. Sparks of sanity quickly flared on it, back with its original black color, but quickly faded away.

"A-Asparus?!" All Cabba's rage disappeared, his eyes widened in disbelief and his head started to ache in confusion.

"SEIGY!" Negi desperately yelled after watching the scene.

'Don't worry; I will not lose control over him, he still have one orb on him.' Seigyro's voice whispered inside Negi's head. 'But I will have to use a lot more power and concentration to control him. I will not be able to help you.'

"Good, that is all I needed to know." Negi quickly recomposed himself.

"Asparus, is that really you?" Cabba's eyes fled away from his friend and landed on the girls lying on the ground. "What the hell are you doing man? Have you lost your mind? We looked everywhere for you, come on, just say something."

Slow claps echoed from behind Asparus, Negi quickly walking to the prince side. "Surprise!" He smiled and clapped one last time. "I told you. Me and old Asparus here are good friends now."

"What the hell did you do to him?" Cabba shouted, his anger slowly coming back.

"If you really want to know." Negi shrugged off. "I broke our little prince and made him my most powerful and precious toy." He then tilted his head to the side, a compassionate look in his eyes. "But don't be too sad. He bravely fought against it for a week and showed no sign of breaking down. Hell it took me killing off his mom to finally break the guy."

"You sick bastard." Cabba clenched his fists and snarled at Negi, which made Asparus twitch in response, preparing himself to attack Cabba.

"Now, now…" Negi smiled again. "Let the fun begins."

P.S: So much stuff happening at the same time, how will everything turn out. Keep it up Saiyan team.

Reviews:

VcArchangel chapter 13 . Aug 18 – And I appreciate it every time, thank you for taking some time to leave your comments.

About Earth current state, yes, it is like a warzone. The Earth I have in mind for U6 is one where there is no Goku (obviously) and without a little saiyan boy to crush Red Ribbon's army, they got stronger and stronger to the point that they started to wage war on everyone, trying to get control of the world. But since there is no Goku, then there is no Androids 16-17-18 and Cell, Dr. Gero only made them because of goku.

For last, I want to know if you guessed right about this one last "super-secret" revelation in the chapter.

CauliflaFanboy007 chapter 9 . Aug 24 – Thanks, when I read that you guys like Asparus that much, it really makes me feel proud of this story. Thank you.

CabbaxKeflaForLife chapter 7 . Aug 25 – Well, to just take this out of the way; when I started to write this story, the anime had just ended, and if I remember right, the manga was still on the finishing part of Black Saga. So I just used what I had (the anime). When you say that Caulifla was attracted to Goku, I don't think that is right, At least I never saw like that. She was impressed by his power and nothing more and on her take on Cabba's part, again if I am not mistaken, She transformed into super saiyan 2 because of him with that Freeza little play and all that. To just conclude this part, I don't know really what to tell you, if it is AU, Manga Continuty or Anime. I just had the anime as story to follow, and I "ignored" parts that I didn't like about the anime; Like Cabba being close to useless and all that, he deserved a better role on the tournament.

About Asparus and all the new characters, I just tried to make them in a way that seemed real to the world. A bit of "fun fact", Greeno and Beano are Twin brothers, so Beano too is an older brother of the Queen.

Lettu really love his brother, but he absolutely loves Caulifla "cool" behavior and how she doesn't take anything of anyone. He wants to be like that too.

I hope this clarified a few things for you and I would like to know what do you thing about the rest of the story, since you said that you stopped on chpt 6. Anyways, thank you very much for your deep review and thoughts.
