Is was 5 A.m. Mrs. And Dr. Briefs were sitting at the kitchen table waiting for their daughter to make a furious entrance.
Dr. Briefs called her right after what he thought Trunks was disappeared with the time-machine.
„Have some more tea honey", the normally cheerful blonde said with a depressed voice and poured her husband another cup of green tea.
„I just don't know how this could happen Panchy, we have the best security system in the world I created it myself. No one is supposed to get in or out."
Then they heard the noise of stamping feet marching down the hall. The kitchen-door slid open and an enraged Bulma stormed inside.
Her eyes were red from crying and her make up was messed up by the tears.
„Mom! Dad! How could you let this happen? I entrusted you the most precious thing I have, my son, your grandson, and you let him get away? With a time-machine? He could be anywhere there's no way we can find him! You two are totally irresponsible!", the blue haired scientist yelled.
„I...I'm sorry darling it was in the night, and the security system was activated, the guards and I were just seconds too late.", Bulma's father explained himself gulping back sobs.
Bulma let out a yelp and collapsed in her father's arms.
„I know it wasn't your fault dad I'm sorry", she whispered.
That moment Vegeta walked in. „What have these brats done?", he demanded to know.
„It looks like they have stolen the time-machine it must have been them I could spy a shock of lavender hair just before they disappeared and since Trunks and I are the only ones in this house with that hair color and the boys are not in Trunks' bed it must have been them.", Dr. Briefs informed his son in law.
Bulma managed to pull herself together and took a seat.
She took a cup of tea and watched the liquid forming circles as she steered it.
„Did you show them how to operate it? I know my little boy is smart but you just can't start this machine without a brief introduction", Bulma let out a heavy sob.
„What... what if the didn't enter the coordinates that match the position of the planet at the time they entered, they would end up in space and die!", she screamed and buried her face in her husbands chest.
„No I didn't show them .Don't worry honey I integrated a security mechanism that checks the date and coordinates before taking off. If they didn't enter them correctly they would still be here", Dr. Briefs tried to calm his daughter.
„But who was it then? You and I are the only people who know." , Bulma inquired.
„Well Mirai-Trunks knows", Vegeta muttered.
Bulma glanced at her husband. „They must have tricked him into showing them. We have to get in touch with him. Of course that's it! Trunks was so sad about Miraii-Trunks leaving that he sneaked out to visit him", Bulma concluded.
„Brats", Vegeta snarled.
„But we can't get in touch with him, the kids took the only machine we have. And besides don't you think Mirai-Trunks would sent them back immediately? He knows we all would freak out!", Dr Briefs said.
„We have no choice then father, we have to create a radar that detects them, in time and space", Bulma answered.
„But that's impossible Bulma how are we supposed to do that?", Dr. Briefs inquiered.
„We two are probably the smartest people in the world, and I created the dragon radar at the age of 16 if someone can do it it's us father", Bulma starred at him with an expecting look in her eyes.
„Well then we should get to work now daughter!"
Dr. Briefs, Bulma and Scratch left the room towards the labs leaving Vegeta and Mrs. Briefs back alone.
„Vegeta you must be starving why don't you have a slice of cake?", the ditzy blonde offered.
Vegeta just smirked in response, his mother in law1's ability to not be aware of a situation just never failed to surprise him.
…..
Trunks was woken up by water drops that were dropping from the ceiling on his head. He looked around to find his best friend still unconscious from the strange Saiyans punch.
The were in some kind of prison.
„Hey let us out!", he shouted over to the guards.
The two men turned around to check if they were locked up safely.
„Oh die Eindringlinge sind afgewacht!" , one of the guards muttered in Saiyan.
„Don't worry kid you'll get out soon enough! You are actually quite lucky you are getting to meet the king! He will decide your faith!", the other man snarled.
It wouldn't really be a problem for Trunks to go Supersaiyan, break out and knock the two of them out, but he wanted to hold back. And of course he wanted to meet the king, King Vegeta his grandfather.
….
Vegeta was still in bed when the door cracked open and his wife came inside.
She collapsed on the bed totally exhausted by getting up so early and then working non-stop on the radar. They still had not finished it but she and her father had came up with some good ideas.
„So woman were you successful?", Vegeta demanded.
„We're on the right way, but dad convinced me to go get some sleep now.", she muttered. Her eyes filled with tears again and she buried her face in the pillow.
Vegeta felt slightly uncomfortable, he didn't like showing emotions but he wanted to be a good husband in such a hard time for his wife. He shifted closer, sat up and placed her head in his lap.
Then he gently stroke her aqua hair.
„Don't worry Bulma, they're gonna be alright I promise", he whispered.
Didn't these stupid brats know how much stress and pain they caused their loved ones with this venture?
Bulma also sat up and ran her finger over his lips.
„And if you want to, I can call Chichi for you and tell her", he offered bravely.
„Thank you Vegeta!", Bulma answered and kissed him hard.
The tired scientist fell asleep in her husband's arms forgetting the trouble for a brief moment.
…..
Trunks and Goten were escorted to a big hall by two guards. Across the room a man was sitting in a throne, next to him on a lower level was another Saiyan.
The guards hit the chibis in the back of their knees, forcing them to bow down.
„Hey Trunks that guy over there looks like your father, just with a beard", Goten whispered.
„You don't say? It's gotta be my grandfather", Trunks hissed.
The man studied the pair and stood up.
„I'm King Vegeta, supreme ruler of the Saiyan race, what are you two doing here? Did Frieza send you to spy on us? If so tell him everything goes after his plan!", the king demanded.
Trunks stood up and peered at his father's father.
„Um no that's a big misunderstanding we're just Saiyans like you!", he explained
The guy who had been sitting next to King Vegeta stood up, also taking a look he then turned to the king.
„Majestaet diese Kinde koennen nie Sayajins sein. Auch wenn der eine Aehnlichkeit mit Bardock hat haben sie beide keine Schhwaenze, und der andere hat auch noch helle Haare!", the royal counselor warned in Saiyan.
King Vegeta's eyes narrowed dangerously as he glared at Trunks and Goten.
„Trunks what did he say?", Goten stammered.
„I have no idea Goten, my father never taught me Saiyan, I only know some words, but I think he said something about my hair", Trunks whispered.
„So your father speaks Saiyan? Too bad for you he isn't here to prove your story brat. But I can tell you what he said. Your friend looks like Bardock a third class Saiyan whose kid we sent to another planet a long time ago. And you? You want to be a Saiyan? Just look at you, no tail and light hair pathetic! You're not fooling us kid!", King Vegeta snarled.
Trunks was about to boil over with rage „If only you knew I belong to the Upper Echelon, here and on earth. Here through my father's royal blood, and on earth through my Grandfathers wealth", the little boy muttered under his breath.
„What did you just say?", the Counselor interfered.
„We came here to help you with Frieza and this is what we get?", Goten shouted at the Saiyan-king.
The counselor burst out laughing.
„Hehe you two against the mighty Frieza that's too funny!", he exclaimed.
After reaching out with his ki King Vegeta turned to the Counselor.
„Nicht so vorschnell etwas an ihrer Energie ist eigentartig wir sollten sie testen", the planet's ruler suggested.
„Don't you dare laughing at me you conceited idiot!" Trunks yelled.
„Calm down kid, we'll put you to a little test. If you pass you can explain us your story and I might believe you but if you don't, well.."
…..
Bulma was searching through her sons, room for anything that could hold his or Goten's DNA.
Her father and she had created a machine that used the same mechanism as the Dragonradar to track people through time and space, but she needed to feed it with information. In his bathroom she found a brush and pulled out a flick of lavender hair. She scanned it with her radar and after a long search it finally tracked her son down.
„Vegeta! I found them!", she screamed.
Immediately Vegeta accompanied by Goku and Gohan stormed into the bathroom. The sons had come over to make a plan, but Chichi passed out from the shock when she heard the news.
„Where the heck is that?", Bulma muttered as she checked the coordinates.
„Let me see woman", Vegeta snorted and whipped the radar out of her hands.
As he saw position and time his eyes narrowed
„Stupid kids! I can't believe it!", he exclaimed.
The other three looked at him baffled.
„Vegeta do you know where that is?", Goku asked.
„Yes Kakarott I've been there, and so have you! They're on Vegeta-sei just days before it was destroyed!", Vegeta informed the group.
„This is bad! Can't we get there Bulma?", Gohan asked with a concerned look.
„No we don't have another machine, we can only hope they're smart enough to come back before the planet blows up", Bulma answered and fell into Vegeta's arms.
