Whispers in the Dark

Kami dropped his staff. He stood on the edge of his lookout, looking down to Earth. He felt that same darkness once more.

"No," he muttered.

Kami shook his heada and tightly closed his eyes. He wished the feeling he had was nothing more than a nightmare. But he knew it wasn't.

"It can't be," he opened his eyes.

"I failed.

Professor Tomoe looked over his research again. Ever since Bulma Briefs took him to the dark and mystic temple owned by Capsule Corp, he would spend day and night researching it. Finally after last night, he had enough research to present to the young blue-haired scientist. He picked up his phone and dialed her work number.

"Capsule Corp. Elise speaking," Elise, Bulma's secratary spoke through the phone.

"Yes I'm Professor Tomoe and I'm trying to reach Bulma Briefs," Professor Tomoe responded.

"I'm sorry she is not in today. Can I leave a message?" she asked.

"Could you inform Miss Briefs that I have made a discovery on the temple that she asked me to research," he spoke.

"I will do. Goodbye," Elise hung up the phone.

"Who was that?" 17 asked as he and his twin sister walked up to Elise's desk.

"That was Professor Tomoe saying he made a discovery for Miss Briefs," Elise answered.

"Isn't that the archeologist Bulma hired to research that temple?" 18 asked her brother.

17 nodded his head.

"We should find out what he learned," 18 spoke.

"Thank you Elise," 17 gave his famous smile before walking off and heading to the professor's home.

Professor Tomoe heard a knock at his door. He immedately stood up and answered the door. In the doorway was a young blond woman and a young man with balck hair and matching ice cold blue eyes. They were there waiting for him. The professor instantly reconized them as Bulma's body guards.

"Can I help you?" he asked.

"We need you to tell us everything you learned about the temple that Miss Briefs took you to visit," 18 answered in a monotonous voice.

"Did she send you?" the professor asked the twins.

"No, but we will tell her everything that she needs to know," 17 responded.

"Is she alright?" the professor asked nervously.

"She is in the hosptial right now," 18 answered.

Professor Tomoe opened his door fully, allowing the twin androids entrance into his home. 17 and 18 sat down on the couch while the professor sat down on the love seat.

"What did you learn?" 17 got straight to the point.

"It took me a while to discover what tribe the temple belongs to, and how to translate the symbols from it," the professor began.

17 and 18 relaxed in thier seats, eargly waiting for the professor to continue.

"It's the Saiyans. The Saiyans were a warrior race that thrived well over a thousand years ago. They believed that only the strong should live. They were even rumored to have fallen from the stars. They were unstoppable. Not even Kami had the strength to defeat the driven warrior race. He had to use one of his last resorts," Professor Tomoe took a deep breath.

17 and 18 waited for him to continue, they needed answers.

"He cursed them. All of the Saiyans. They were damned for all eternity. Their leader, their prince, vowed revenge on Kami. Their souls were confined to the temple they left behind; the only rememberence of the warrior race," he explained.

17 and 18 looked at one another.

"What do you mean damned?" 18 asked.

"They are the shadows, damned forever to live in the darkness," he answered.

18 glanced over to her brother. Could all of this be true? Is Bulma actually seeing a cursed Saiyan? If so then who? Or is she just crazy?

"How did the prince say he was going to seek revenge?" 17 asked.

The professor seemed to contemplate for a moment.

"From what I gathered, he never claimed a mate. In Saiyan culture, a mate is a warrior's other half. He planned to find his mate, and gather enough strength to kill Kami by using the power of the curse against him," the professor replied.

"What was the name of the prince?" 18 asked in a low voice.

"Vegeta. His name was Prince Vegeta," the professor responded.

Piccolo sat in the meadow mediating. He was floating next to the serene of a water fall. He needed to stengthen his mind as well as his body. He closed his eyes and felt his mind at ease. He was completly relaxed. His breathing became slow and heavy. And then he felt it all of a sudden. It was a jolt that ran through his body. He opened his eyes and looked around him. Nobody was there. He knew he couldn't have imagined that feeling. That feeling, that darkness, he felt it before. It could only mean one thing.....
