Walking the corridors of the complex, a lone figure made his way closer to his destination. The figure, dressed in flowing black robes, had a slight bounce in his step as he turned a corner. His mission had been a complete success, and now his superiors were one step closer to reaching their goal.
'Stupid, gullible Saiyajins,' he thought to himself as he approached a door. 'They may be the best fighters in the galaxy, but they are still only dim-witted monkeys,' he thought with a chuckle, remembering how easy it had been to immobilize each and every one of them.
Indeed, the man had had quite an easy time of it, as not one of the Saiyajins had known what had hit them. A simple chemical spray was all it had taken to render them unconscious. Bundling all five of them into his spaceship, the man had quickly departed for his home planet; Awlgrene.
"Ahh, Captain Kistios," a man in a lab coat greeted as the door slid open. Kistios walled into the laboratory and towards the other man, who was currently monitoring their Saiyajin captives.
"How's it coming, Reca?" Kistios asked, leaning over the other man's shoulder. On the computer screen before him, statistics and figures for the orange gi-clad Saiyajin were currently being shown. As he watched, Kistios noticed that the Saiyajin's estimated power level would soon be exceeding the computer's capability to handle. And it was still rising. Kistios whistled with amazement.
Reca looked up at the noise and smiled. "Impressive, huh?" Kistios nodded in agreement. "Just think of what we can do with all of that power."
"Are they all that strong, or just this one?" Kistios asked as the computer suddenly shut itself down, unable to handle the power reading anymore.
"That one, and the other adult are very close to having the same power level. The adolescent is somewhat weaker, yet still impressive. The two children are also incredibly strong for their age," Reca informed whilst Kistios wandered casually around the room.
Laid out on metal tables, and incased in glass bubbles, the five Saiyajins were lined up in the centre of the lab. A regular dose of the chemical kept all of them fast asleep, whilst Reca and his team worked on extracting and replicating the awesome power that they possessed to be used for their own devices.
Wandering between the two adult Saiyajins, Kistios stopped and rested a hand on top of one of the bubbles. Inside rested a Saiyajin with flame-like black hair, and a disagreeable scowl on his face. Kistios chuckled as he stared down at the sleeping warrior.
"How ironic. The very power that destroyed my home world, will now be used to destroy yours," he muttered with a malicious grin.

Rejhan couldn't sleep. As the ship continued on its course to planet Awlgrene, Rejhan wandered up to the bridge of the ship. Picking up the scouter, she attached it to her face, and plugged in all of the necessary cables.
"Now, lets just make sure that everyone is in the same place," she muttered to herself before focusing her senses on her twin's ki. Two seconds later, and the scouter was beeping in her ear. Opening her eyes, she gave a delighted little laugh as she recognized the coordinates being displayed as those belonging to Awlgrene. A few minutes later, and she had found all five of the missing Saiyajins.
Behind her, the door slid open, and Myshel walked into the room with a yawn. Seeing Rejhan seated in the control seat, she gave a small smile. She could only imagine what Rejhan must be feeling after finally locating her father, and could understand why the young girl was having difficulties sleeping.
"You really should try and get some sleep, Rej," Myshel said as she came up behind her friend. "You'll be no good if you have to fight half asleep."
Rejhan gave a small jump of surprise as she turned around. "Who can sleep? I've just tracked down everyone else, and I can't be sure of their exact location, but all five of them are on the same planet," she said with such enthusiasm that Myshel couldn't help but smile at her.
"That's great to hear," she replied as she reached over and pulled the scouter off of Rejhan's forehead. "But you'll be no good to them if you fall asleep during the battle. Now come on, you need sleep. You didn't sleep last night either, and I'll be damned if I let you miss another night," Myshel said, and Rejhan shook her head.
"I'm not tired," she said, yet halfway through she gave a yawn, and Myshel smirked in victory. "That doesn't mean anything," Rejhan shot at her friend.
"Yes it does, now come on!" she said, tugging on Rejhan's arm, and eventually succeeding in pulling her out of her chair, and back to the sleeping quarters.

"Hey, Captain Kistios?" Lurl, a security engineer, called out as the black-cloaked man walked passed his station. "You sure no one followed you back here?"
"Of course I am," Kistios growled, walking back to stand before the other man. "Why?"
"Well, I'm picking up an approaching ship. It's still several days away from us, but there's no doubt about where it's headed," Lurl informed, turning back to his monitor. On the screen, a small red dot could be seen beeping, and a dotted line connected it directly to their current location.
"I wasn't followed," Kistios barked. "That planet was a pitiful backwater, incapable of space travel."
Lurl shrugged. "That might be so, but it's still headed right for us."
"Keep an eye on it," Kistios growled, glancing at the monitor himself and frowning. "I want to know when it arrives."
…………………………………….
Rejhan ducked as Myshel sailed over her head, and quickly rotated into a spin kick, catching her friend in the stomach. Stumbling backwards, Myshel fazed out of sight, and Rejhan closed her eyes, locating her ki within moments. Spinning around, Rejhan brought her arms up to block Myshel's attack, yet the blow proved to be harder than she had anticipated.
Crashing through her defences, Myshel punched Rejhan in the jaw before jumping backwards and firing off a ki blast. Momentarily dazed by the punch, Rejhan's eyes widened as she only just managed to dodge the attack, which exploded into the gravity room wall behind her.
Myshel had already vanished, and with a growl, Rejhan disappeared after her. For several minutes, all that could be seen of either girl were flashes of their gi as they flew around the room at breakneck speed. Rejhan clearly had the advantage in the speed department, but it was becoming increasingly clearer that Myshel was gaining the upper hand in strength.
Batting aside a ki blast, Rejhan disappeared, reappearing behind Myshel with a perfect sidekick. With a small cry, Myshel lurched forwards, and Rejhan flew after her. Yet at the last minute, the blue eyed girl spun around, driving her fist deep into Rejhan's gut.
The other girl gave a grunt of pain as she stopped short, and Myshel pressed her advantage. With a lightning fast axe kick, Rejhan was left bouncing off of the floor. Forcing her mind to focus, she just managed to roll out of the way as Myshel's foot came slamming down into the ground next to her.
Pushing off of the ground, Rejhan swept Myshel's feet out from under her, before diving on top of her friend and pinning her to the floor.
"1 … 2 … " Rejhan counted, yet Myshel quickly turned the tables on her friend. Flaring her ki, the younger girl managed to throw Rejhan off of her, causing her to skid across the floor. Lightning fast, Myshel was on her, and Rejhan was too tired to throw her off this time.
"1 … 2 … 3 … Gotcha!" Myshel cheered, before letting her friend up. "Told ya it'd be third time lucky," Myshel added with a smile as Rejhan dusted herself off.
"Man, you're getting fast. And strong," Rejhan complimented with a smile, and Myshel shrugged.
"You're still faster than me, so that's something I've gotta work on," Myshel said as the two girls made their way into the bathroom for a much needed shower.
Rejhan shook her head in amazement. 'If she gets any faster, I'm really gonna have to watch myself," she though with a smirk.

"Captain?" Lurl said as he approached where Kistios was currently seated.
"What is it?" Kistios growled, setting down the mug that he had been drinking from, and wiping his mouth on his black sleave.
"That ship. It will arrive here tomorrow, sir."
Kistios smirked; his dark eyes glinting maliciously. "Excellent."

Hey Everyone! Hope you all enjoyed this chappie! We got to see a bit more of the bad guys, and the girls have almost arrived. What's gonna happen when they get there? Find out next time! Myshel's up next, so keep an eye out!
Rej.
