Sorry for the wait guys. But here's a new chapter for you! I should be getting another one up soon. Please read and review. And I'll apologize in advance for the ending of this chapter...don't hate me I beg you! Have fun. Love you guys haha.
Yamcha Jr. was furious. His son had helped the enemy escape. He was going to kill him. There was no reason to keep him alive anymore.
He walked down the hallway to get a report from the leader of his armies. Well the leader under him of course.
"How long?" he asked with a steady but obviously livid voice
"Three hours, sir." He responded.
"We need more power for this to work. Get me the Prince and Princess. You have an hour. Don't disappoint me." He turned and walked back to his chambers.
The last thing he needed was another dead army leader. This was the third one that week. Oh well. Maybe he'd get lucky.
He only had a very limited amount of time to make this plan work. If he wanted to have his entire army as strong as him and kill the king and queen right as they land on the planet he had to act quickly. He wished he had more cooperative captives. He knew they were trying to figure out a way to kill him, but he wasn't worried in the slightest. Trunks was in no condition to fight and he was the stronger of the two siblings. Veala didn't stand a chance against him alone.
The thought made him smirk. She was going to try anyways. How very noble. The only reason he was going to allow her to live being so he can take what he wants from her. She had quite the body and he couldn't help wanting her to be his.
He let out a laugh laced in evil and sat back in his chair. Nothing could stop him now. Not even his stupid son. It was a detour for sure but nothing he couldn't handle. He was just closing his eyes when he felt something rumble the entire castle. It had almost been an hour since he had given his orders. What could this possibly be? Before he could sense what was happening his room was covered in black smoke. He held his breath and ran to the door and opened it. The smoke was everywhere. He flew to the window and broke it open so he could fly out of it. He flew to the top of the castle and saw the smoke covering the entire things. There was only one small area that wasn't covered in it and he glared as he sensed who was there. He felt the anger in him rise and he was flying there before he had a chance to think more about it.
Trunks and Veala were standing in the open training grounds. The only part of the entire castle that wasn't now full of smoke. Their plan was simple and complex at the same time. If everything went according to how they planned it out then it was simple. If not then it got a lot more complicated.
Veala took her brother's hand and he squeezed her hand in a comforting gesture.
"You sure this is going to work?" she asked quietly.
"I'm sure. Come on Vey, it's us! When do our schemes not work?"
"All the time. Dad catches us a lot. Mom that one time. Goku twice. I stopped one of them because it was stupid. Shall I go on?"
"Don't be such a downer little sis." He said with a gentle smile
"Same age." She whispered back and nodded.
They were back in sync which was good. Veala had missed him so much and had been so worried while he was away from her. She was worried right now because Goten wasn't with her. She couldn't seem to win this. She was always missing something.
She was getting more and more agitated as they waited.
Amy was with Jewls running to go find everyone else out in the woods. Ren and Zale were waiting patiently in the shadows for backup in case this didn't end well. They had the rest of the smoke bombs waiting so they could make a timely escape.
Jewls and Amy were to find everyone and bring them back to Trunks and Veala so they could fight together. But they knew Yamcha wouldn't come if he thought there was a chance he wouldn't win so they had to make sure he thought they were alone.
Trunks had been the mastermind behind the smoke bombs, they were his invention. If anyone breathed in too much of it they would pass out. He had made a few adjustments to them so that the robot half of these soldiers would shut down like the Saiyan half.
Veala's the one who reminded everyone that Yamcha was a sore loser so they couldn't wait until they were all together to egg him on and out of hiding.
Zale and Ren were in the shadows. They decided that if his dad sensed him with the twins he'd come faster than if it was just them alone.
So they were waiting. They had everything in place and they were waiting.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Vegeta growled at his mate for what seemed like the tenth time that day.
"Don't you curse at me when I'm being brilliant! I'm helping us get home faster you ass." She spoke from underneath the control panel for the speed controls on the ship.
Vegeta grabbed her leg and pulled her out from under the panel
"Explain, before I lock you in our room again."
"Vegeta I told you already!" she groaned in frustration and pulled her leg out of his grasp and went back under to work again.
"Bulma!" he was so put out with her right now.
She all but whined at the fact that he hadn't been paying attention to her. She spoke telepathically to him and kept working.
'I can boost the speed on the ship by reworking some of the equations I've put together and we'll be back almost an hour before we will with the speed what it is now.'
"Is it dangerous? For you I mean. Usually when you do something like this you end up injured."
Bulma cursed as she hit her hand accidentally.
"If you leave me alone then no!" she sucked on her finger that was now throbbing and Vegeta scoffed.
"Fine. Whatever. Just don't come complaining to me when you blow something up and your hair goes up in flames again."
"Bite me." She yelled to him as he walked away.
"Maybe later." He responded over his shoulder as he went to find Goku. He found him in the cafeteria.
"Kakarot, she has a death wish…" Vegeta was complaining a little.
"She just wants to get home, King Vegeta. She's just trying to help. Yeah she's a little clumsy and sometimes I worry for her safety. But she always ends up okay in the end." He says happily as he continued to make his sandwich. No one but Goku could eat as much as he was doing with the nervousness going around the crew. No one said anything out loud, but it was sensed by everyone. Tarble was walking over and joined in their little group as Vegeta started to talk again.
"Kakarot you're going to…" he stopped abruptly as the ship jerked and then took off again at a faster speed than he was used to.
They steadied themselves and Vegeta glared at the door and listened. He heard the explosion sound he was waiting for and looked at Goku with a raised eyebrow
"What was that?" Tarble asked looking around like he thought it was going to happen again.
"Maybe I spoke too soon?" he tried carefully with an innocent smile.
Vegeta and Goku along with Tarble ran to the control room as the sound happened again.
"Bulma!" Vegeta ran in and his eyebrow twitched as he saw what was going on.
She was kicking the side of the control panel.
"What the hell?" he walked over and held her back from kicking anything else.
"It was working and then stopped!" he could tell she was frustrated beyond the normal point so he nodded to Goku who took over holding her back.
"Let me go Goku! I'll get it! I just need to work more..." she was freaking out and Tarble put his hands up as she tried to kick him
"Bulma please calm down! You're not acting rationally." He jumped away from her with a yelp and she yelled again
"Vegeta tell him to let me go!" she said as she struggled more against Goku
"No." Vegeta said and took over looking at the machine. He pushed three buttons and then hit it lightly. The ship immediately started going faster and Bulma's jaw dropped.
"Don't look too surprised. You did marry the smartest, handsomest, deadliest, most important Saiyan ever. It was only a matter of time before you finally came to terms with it." He smirked at her and Goku chuckled. Tarble shook his head at his older brother's arrogance
Bulma pulled out of Goku's hold and checked to see if everything was working properly.
"Okay. So that gives up approximately and hour and half to get everything ready and be good to fight." She walked over to the intercom and turned it on.
"This is Queen Bulma. Everyone cease whatever it is you're doing. We'll be back on Vegeta-sai in less than two hours. Get your uniforms and armor on and motivate yourself so that you don't want to lose or die. We're going in to an unknown situation on our home land. Everyone be ready to fight and take back what's ours." She looked at Vegeta who simply walked over and said
"The prince and Princess are currently fighting their way out of whatever situation is going on down there. We're going to help them and to bring order back to our planet. I expect nothing but the best fighting and skills. No slacking off, no taking breaks and if anyone dies before we're done I'll personally see to it that you're brought back again so I can kill you myself." He clicked the button off and smirked at Bulma who looked so done with him.
"Really?"
"What? That'll motivate them to no want to die. Don't you think?"
"You're joking and this is a very serious matter." She said and pinched the bridge of her nose in annoyance.
Before they could say anything else their communication screen lit up. It was a call from the home planet.
"Veala?" Bulma whispered and Vegeta answered the call.
"Goten." Vegeta said in a not too happy voice.
"King Vegeta! Queen Bulma!" He was a little surprised to see them actually answer.
"What's going on Goten? Where's Veala?" Bulma asked with a sinking feeling in her stomach.
Goten was quiet for a few seconds before he answered.
"They've captured her… well actually they got her and then she escaped we think. But we're in hiding so we're not positive." He said and looked down.
"She's what?! Goten you were supposed to protect her!" Bulma was freaking out and Vegeta growled.
"You promised you'd keep her safe!"
"Bulma please. Leave the boy be. He wanted to go back to save her but I wouldn't allow it." The old king spoke up from behind Goten.
"Dad! What..."
"When are you two due to be back?" he interrupted her.
"A few hours. Why?" Vegeta asked in response.
"Trunks and Veala can't keep this up much longer. They're strong, but not that strong. We need you to be here so we can win." He seemed a lot more somber to Bulma than she remembered her father being.
"We'll be there soon. I've done everything I can to enhance the ship so it's as fast as it can get. Please just help them hang in there a little longer." Bulma was starting to panic for her kids.
"Don't worry we're leaving to go help right after this call." Goten spoke up quietly but firmly.
"Then hang up and go. If anything happens to my daughter because you weren't there to look after her…" Vegeta was trembling in anger
"Vegeta leave Goten alone. He'll protect her because he loves her. So quit being a jerk. Goten go. We'll be back soon enough. Dad what else did you have to tell us?" she asked in a knowing voice.
"Land your ship ten miles away from the castle and as quickly as you can get your armies to the castle from there. Don't risk any closer."
"Okay we won't. We'll see you very soon." She said and watched as they nodded and the screen went blank.
Vegeta and Bulma looked at each other and eventually she hugged him and let out a breath.
"We'll make it. We won't be late. Everything will be fine." She whispered and he wrapped his arms around her.
"Hn." He didn't want to think about it, especially if she was wrong.
Goten and King Briefs quietly made their way out of the secret bunker. Goten was leading the way with the old King behind him dragging behind a little bit.
"What if they haven't escaped yet?" Goten asked as he waited for the old man to catch up the first time.
"They have." He responded, breathing a little heavier than usual.
"Maybe you should sit down and rest…you don't look too good, sir." Goten put a hand on his arm to help steady him.
"No, I'm fine we need to get to Veala and Trunks." He said and they kept going.
Goten was silent and alert the entire walk to the castle. It was light outside so they weren't exactly in the best cover. As he heard a whizzing sound he ducked behind a tree, pulling the king with him. They managed to stay hidden from the drones wandering around.
Goten had them to the castle in twenty minutes. They looked up right as a black smoke started to fill the air around the castle.
"That's Trunks' invention..." Goten said in awe. The entire palace was covered in the smoke. The two Saiyans walked towards it and hid again as all the drones went zooming through the trees again.
"We need to get in there." The king said almost urgently as he looked around the castle once more.
Goten nodded in agreement and took a deep breath. He reached out with his mind and found where Veala and Trunks were.
"We need to go around to the east training field." He said with a shortness of breath. It was never easy for him to practice his mental stuff. He was more of a physical kind of Saiyan.
King Briefs nodded and followed the young Saiyan who took the lead once more. He took a moment to think about how good he is for his grand-daughter. She was very good at being smart and demanding things because she was too stubborn to not get what she wanted. And he was strong physically and knew when to give in and take orders.
It was a match made in heaven.
Plus it looked like even without the act of actually mating their bond and feelings for each other was extremely strong.
They had to hide three more times from drones and soldiers that were returning to the castle. But eventually they made it to the training grounds. Where they saw Trunks and Veala standing hand in hand. Something was going on. The silence was unsettling.
There was tension in the air that was thick enough you could cut it with a knife. Goten stayed back and surveyed the scene around him.
"Something's not right..." he muttered out loud to himself.
Goten didn't have time to fight back as he was pulled behind a tree and shoved up against it.
"Shh do you want to get caught? Idiot."
Goten recognized the voice as Zale and he broke the hold. He turned around and grabbed him by the throat
"You're dead."
Ren quickly intervened and freed Zale from Goten's grasp
"He's helping us Goten! Calm down! He let Veala go and is being really good about not getting us killed. So please just calm down!"
Goten glared at Zale who was rubbing his neck where he'd been grabbed.
"Yeah I don't like it either. But I'm only doing this so I can kill my dad and then I'm gone. So don't worry about it." Zale looked back over to Trunks and Veala.
"Where is he? He should be here by now."
"Who should?" a voice asked from the sky.
They all jumped and looked up as Yamcha Jr. slowly descended from where he had been in the sky. He was halfway between the twins and everyone else.
"Well this isn't nice of you Zale. Helping the enemy to kill me? How rude."
Zale glared at him and took a defensive stance.
Veala and Trunks ran closer and their eyes widened.
"Goten!" Veala looked so relieved to see him safe.
"Veala!" he felt some relief at seeing her as well but it wasn't the time to let his guard down.
"Oh how cute. You two are just so adorable. How about I do something about that?" Yamcha Jr. smirked and without hesitation raised his hand and shot a Ki blast straight at Goten's chest.
"NO!" Veala yelled and stepped forward.
There was no way she'd make it to him in time.
