Disclaimer: I once said that Aliens existed and these men in black suits showed up at my house the next day, they told me that aliens such as Sayjins and Lunarians are made up and that I should state clearly that I don't own Sailor Moon or Dragon Ball Z.

"Hide the girl," The command that escaped past the royal lips of the King was enough to shock not only the guard on the receiving end but Sumi as well. Slinking past multiple sets of guards Sumi had scaled the wall of the castle, silently breaking in through a stained glass window before flinging herself behind a marble column, digging her appendages into it to hold her weight up.
Seeing his guards hesitating King Vegeta let out an animalistic primal growl, "Now!" His booming voice seemed to shake the very stone foundation that they all stood upon inveterately causing a shiver to jolt up their spines. "Yes, your majesty," Both guards replied simultaneously while bowing deeply.
Never did the King ever once have to explain which girl, considering that there were millions on the Planet- for anyone to realize exactly who he was speaking of.
"King Vegeta what about Prince Vegeta?" Zorn questioned following him up the red carpeted steps, taking his place next to the throne while King Vegeta sat upon it.
Knitting his brow King Vegeta sharply turned his head towards Zorn, "The last time I checked Prince Vegeta didn't need an ounce of protection." He paused for a moment in thought. "Tarble and his Mother are safely secluded in their rooms, correct?" Zorn nodded once, "They should be."
"Get a confirmation on that," King Vegeta ordered while Zorn signaled one of the guards who'd been listening in. "The only one left is that girl. She may not look like much now but she had a power inside her I've never seen before, if she can learn to control it she just might be the very being that helps us to free our Planet from being enslaved by those damnable Ice-jins. That is why she needs to be protected and hidden from the Ice-jins, is that understood?"
Zorn nodded once again while mentally grimacing not all liking the fate of their race being rested on a mere girl's, much less a gaijin's shoulders. But, still he couldn't help remembering the display of power she'd shown during her training session with the Saibaman. Not only had she brought him back from the dead but he'd come back changed. 'Just what kind of hidden powers does this girl possess?'
Before Zorn could question the King any further the double doors at the main entrance of the Grand Hall suddenly opened, several Sayjin warriors were catapulted into the room followed by Cooler's Armored Squadron. "You should teach these surfs more manners," Salza, a blond haired, blue skinned humanoid alien stated while sneering. "They had the gall to try and inform not only us buy Cooler himself that we had to wait to receive an audience with the great and mighty King of all Sayjins." His voice was filled with both sarcasm and mirth while he dared to glare at King Vegeta.
Unable to restrain his tongue one of the Sayjin guards turned his back towards the man. "All that was said was to wait and we would go get the Kin-" The guard cut himself off when he saw Salza extending his arm as he formed a energy blade on the end of the hand.
Disappearing into thin air the guard reached up towards his scouter but before his gloved fingers could even reach it Salza reappeared directly in front of him, delivering a quick slash. Not feeling any immediate pain the guard couldn't help but to look down at his own body, quickly self-evaluating it for any possible injuries he could have received from the energy blade. Unable to see any the guard smirked, thinking that he had missed while raising his arm into the air preparing his own attack. It was at the exact moment that he raised his arm did he hiccup, feeling something traveling up his esophagus. Quite suddenly what seemed like an endless flood of a foreign substance came rushing up into his mouth, filling it. Perplexed the guard tried to open his mouth but found that it would not heed its brain's command.
Salza's lips upturned into a smirk, "Maybe you'll learn better manners in the afterlife." He stated while tapping the Sayjin on his chest with his forefinger, the simple shock was enough to dislodge the remaining strings of tissue that were holding him together. Quite promptly the guard's head slipped off of his neck, falling next to his feet while his body remained upright, blood still squirting from the arteries in his neck like a fountain. While chuckling slightly Salza extended his fingertips again and pushed the head-less body to the floor causing the surrounding Sayjins to take a step backwards.
Appearing unfazed at his brutal display the King returned Salza's smirk with a blank expression before forcing himself to walk down the steps, dropping to one knee towards the creature that stood directly behind his own Armored Squadron. "Lord Cooler, what brings you to our Planet?" King Vegeta question as he lifted himself back up.
Even though Planet Vegeta was apart of the Planet Trade Organization it was well known that this quadrant belonged solely to Frezia. To say that the Ice-jins were a little territorial was a grand understatement and considering this it was a more than a little unorthodox for Cooler to not only be stepping foot on Planet Vegeta but without Frezia's company.
"Don't get up," Cooler ordered while walking up to him and forcibly pushing him back down to the ground. "I like you on your knees. Isn't that where you belong and shall forever remain until you cease to amuse us King of all Monkeys?"
Gritting his teeth together King Vegeta had to painfully stifle his own anger but pride as well as he watched the purple skinned Ice-jin ascended the steps towards his throne. "Yes, Lord Cooler." Sitting down upon the throne Cooler threw his tail over the arm rest while watching King Vegeta turn around, still on his knees, towards him.
"Planet Iwao, do you know of it?" Cooler asked while propping his arm on the arm rest and allowing his chin to fall onto his open palm.
"Yes, I've heard of it through Lord Frezia." King Vegeta replied already not liking with this conversation was heading. Plant Iwao held the distinct reputation for being an unconquerable Planet but because of its indestructible ozone layer, size and untapped natural resources it had gathered multiple buyers, igniting a bidding war. Inevitably this placed great pressure on the Planet Trade Organization to complete their genocide of all the inhabitations on Planet Iwao.
Already countless elite soldiers from not only Frezia's troops but also Cooler' and King Cold's had been deployed as well, all generating the same result: failure. There had been a rumor floating from species to species indicating that if the stone people from Iwao could leave their Planet they would easily be able to overthrow the Ice-jins, destroying the Planet Trade Organization with them. But, as the rumor indicated the people from Iwao were humanoid in nature, made from stone that bonded them to the very earth they were cultivated from. While this made them immortal (if anyone could penetrate their stone skin they were able to regenerate in mere seconds) it also limited them to their Planet, unable to leave unless they wanted to disintegrate.
"Good, because your son will be deployed there by sun up tomorrow," Cooler's nonchalant attitude got to Zorn but as he began to open his mouth to argue Cooler inclined his head towards him, as if daring him. Catching his graze Zorn began to cough to cover his obvious mistake while Cooler simply rolled his eyes, turning back towards King Vegeta.
"Lord Cooler, wouldn't you prefer if I and my elite soldiers were to take on this-" King Vegeta proposition was cut off as soon as Cooler waved his hand in dismissal. "No, I would prefer if your son went."
"But, Prince Vegeta is only-" King Vegeta began but was once again cut off by Cooler. "Don't even think of trying to talk your way out of this one. Monkeys are meant for fighting and dying in battles not diplomacy. What I want is one of your sons-" He paused when he saw that for the briefest of moments King Vegeta's eyes slightly widening. "Ah, yes you thought you'd hidden him well didn't you monkey? No, I know all about your second child." He glared down at King Vegeta. "As you probably already figured out stupid monkey I'm fully aware that there is a slim chance of your son returning alive, so very little that one could say that I'm sending him off to his death. But, no matter you have a spare now, don't you?"
Clenching fists together King Vegeta did his best to stifle his anger as laughter arouse out of Cooler and his squadron, echoing in his ears. "Oh, are you growing angry monkey?" He asked mockingly. "Is your simple brain trying to figure out what exactly you've done to cross me to justify me sending one of your, oh, what's the word you monkeys used, brats off to their death? Do you remember a Planet named Daichi, a Planet that you personally blew up last week?"
"That order came down directly from Lord Frezia," Cooler raised his arm up causing King Vegeta to cut off his explanation. "Are you aware that Daichi was apart of my quadrant and not to mention that the Planet Trade Organization was planning on selling it on this very day? Considering that there is no Planet to sell I would be receiving my commission and neither will my Armored Squadron, which makes all of just a little angry."
"More like blood thirsty," Doore, a green skinned, long haired humanoid alien said causing King Vegeta's eyes to shift back towards him. The King noticed quite immediately that the Armored Squadron were now standing in a pool of his guard's blood, their dead bodies lying all around them.
The trio began to laugh mockingly as King Vegeta shifted his eyes back towards Cooler. "Oh, and King Monkey, I will allow you the curtsey of choosing which of your two sons and heirs to your throne you will be planning to send to their deaths." He stated before rising from his seat and beginning to walk down the steps. "You have until sunrise tomorrow."
As Cooler walked past King Vegeta he had to do everything in his power to not strike the Ice-jin. "Toodles," Salza waved his blood coated gloved hand at the only two remaining Sayjins- besides Sumi- Zorn and King Vegeta as they exited.
"Bastards," Zorn stated with obvious distain approaching King Vegeta as he rose to his feet. Wordlessly the King swiftly turned and struck Zorn in the jaw sending the Sayjin reeling. Unable to help himself he let out a fierce growl and although he didn't apologize he stood staring at Zorn. "I have to find Sumi later on," He explained while Zorn could only nod in agreement. "Go easy on her," Zorn stated while King Vegeta snorted. "For all I know she could be the spy relaying all my personal information to the Ice-jins. That woman has long worn out her welcome on my Planet. Her only usefulness to me now is either being a partial relief to my unquenchable lust or on the receiving end of my fist."
Behind the marble column Sumi couldn't help but roll her onyx eyes, she really couldn't understand why the King, her mate, blamed everything on her.
"If you suspect her, why not dispose of her?" Zorn questioned.
King Vegeta shook his head, "If only it were that easy." He stated quietly, remembering the promise he swore to uphold to Keiko. Appearing deep in thought for a brief moment the King's eyes suddenly widened, "Mikarott!" He exclaimed causing to stare at him strangely.
"Mikarott?" He questioned.
"With Cooler's unexpected arrival I'd forgotten all about her," King Vegeta stated, mostly speaking to himself. "Zorn! She still should be in the library, go fetch her and while your at it find someone to dispose." He inclined his head towards the fallen bodies of their commands, "Of the guard."
Zorn bowed deeply, "Right away your majesty." He said while making his way out of the Grand Hall and towards the library. Rushing through the many corridors of the castle he made it to the library's entrance in top speed, opening up the main double doors cautiously.
Much to his surprise instead of being greeted by a woman he found a long haired Sayjin child staring back at him from atop of a wooden table, a ki ball floating freely above the palm of his hand. "Keep your eye on the birdie," The boy said while laughing.
"Raditz!" A woman yelled as she stepped out from behind a bookcase. "Put that away!" She continued to yell as she marched up to the boy, taking his ear in-between her fingertips and twisting it painfully. "Ow! Mom, stop!" The boy yelled in protest while reabsorbing the ki ball into his body.
While raising his eyebrows slightly at the scene unfolding before him Zorn cleared his throat quite loudly to get their attention. "Are you Mikarott?"
The woman smiled, "Sure am."
