The cloudless, peaceful sky, whose breathtaking view was lost upon the only two surviving inhabitants, was suddenly disturbed. Two space pods, which the remaining two quickly recognized as being that of Freizia's army, broke through the Alien planet's atmosphere. They left two trailing clouds of smoke behind them, clouding the once perfect skies.
The space pods impacted on the planet with such great force that they caused a crater the size of a small moon to form all around them. Gas secreted from the sides of the pod, flooding the craters as the doors popped open.
The two sayjins, now fully awake, jumped out of the pods landing on the sturdy ground. As soon as their feet touched the ground Raditz's scouter began to beep, drawing both their attentions. Turning their heads they noticed a pair of men sitting in front of a campfire, dinning on large insect like creatures.
"Ah, there they are." Raditz spoke to Usagi, but before he could advance towards them an insect leg was flung at his head. He quickly ducked out the way, but that wasn't the last of the bald man's fury had to offer. "Raditz! You low class baka, you nearly hit our dinner!" The bald man, known as Nappa yelled before taking another bite out of the insect creature's leg.
Raditz eyed the larger man but made no movement to apologize.
"Who's that?" The smaller man, who had his hair in the shape of a flame asked while glaring at Usagi. Under her helmet Usagi gulped, feeling intimated, but didn't allow it to become visible.
"Prince Vegeta, you said to bring every available Sayjin that I knew of. All that are left are my brothers, Kakarott and Turles." Raditz spoke up, but Vegeta's eyes never left Usagi.
'So, that's Prince Vegeta.. and I guess that's Nappa.' All the tales Raditz had told her about the pair came flooding back. Usagi knew instantly that if they didn't accept her that it would be the end of her life.
Nappa raised an eyebrow while staring suspiciously at Usagi. "Strange, I've never seen him before." He stated before taking another bite.
"Under Freizia's command, Usagi was to be kept locked up in my room."
Nappa stopped in middle of chewing and Vegeta's glare intensified. Neither recognized Usagi's name nor did they contemplate over the fact that it wasn't a regular sayjin male name. No, the thing that they had focused on was the fact that it was Freizia's direct order that kept her hidden.
Nappa had been surprised and somewhat curious while Vegeta was livid.
Vegeta got up, throwing the arm that he had been eating onto the ground. As he continued to glare at Usagi he began to make his way over to her. Each step that he took made her fear grow in leap and bounds. 'What's he going to do to me?' Usagi silently questioned.
Even though Usagi had been confined for most of her life she was no fool. She knew that the Prince was the strongest of her race and no one stood a chance up against him. Besides this, other than her brother, Freizia and his close minions, Usagi had never been in close proxy to any other male species.
Vegeta stood in front of her towering slightly over her. "Why would the high and mighty Freizia want to keep a little weakling all to himself?!?!" He roared, causing Usagi to unconsciously take a step back. "Why he deem you so special?! And, just what the hell are you hiding underneath that helmet?!" Usagi continued to back up until she was pinned against a tree.
Usagi's spared Raditz a look, to see if he would come to her rescue. But, much her surprise and shock he just stood there with her arms folded, smiling as he watched. 'He's enjoying this.'
"Maybe he's deformed," Nappa yelled from his spot next to the fire.
"Yes, are you so hideous that you have to hide your face from the world?" Vegeta smirked as he looked down at her.
Usagi shook her head; she hadn't seen herself in the mirror in years but she didn't think there was anything wrong with her face.
Right as Vegeta's anger was about to come to a boiling point, Raditz chose this opportune time to speak. "Usagi is the last female sayjin left. Considering that Freizia doesn't want anymore brats running around he placed her under lock and key. Under his command Usagi and I are suppose to kill anyone that sees her for who she truly is."
All Nappa had to hear was "female sayjin" and he was throwing down his food and running over to where Vegeta had Usagi pinned. "Can I touch?" Nappa asked while his hand inched closer to Usagi's breasts. She held her breath, trying to calm herself as she awaited his assault.
Vegeta swatted Nappa's hand away before they could reach their destination, causing Usagi to let out a breath of relief. "No! If she's going to belong to someone it's defiantly going to be me, the Prince of all Sayjins. You're not to touch or go near her without my permission, do you understand?" Vegeta declared.
"Aw, nuts." Nappa said while hanging his head down and walking back to the food, defeated.
"Let's see what you're hiding underneath that helmet." Without protest from Usagi, Vegeta pulled off her helmet. With the helmet off, Usagi's golden hair was free to cascade down her back. His eyes studied her every feature, 'beautiful.. this one is worthy of me.' He thought but wasn't about to admit it to the world.
He outwardly frowned while pushing the helmet back into her hands. "Are you trying to trick the Prince of all Sayjins? There is no possible way that this girl can be one of us, look at this hair color." Vegeta directed his accusation at Raditz but found that he couldn't take his eyes off of Usagi.
Raditz stiffed, "She is. You can check her blood if you wish. Her hair color is a mystery; the only ones that knew were my parents and King Vegeta. My mother told me she would tell me when I was older, but died before getting the chance."
"Feh, so because you were an imbecile as I child, I'm left with no answer." At this Nappa began to laugh causing Raditz to clench his fists in anger. "Moreover, why did my Father know of her but I was left with no information?"
"Your Father, like Frezia also kept her locked up." Raditz answered simply and dreaded the next question, which he knew was on the tip of his prince's tongue.
"And, why would my Father do that?" Vegeta asked while crossing his arms, his finger thumping on his bicep.
Raditz gulped, "I have no idea your highness."
Vegeta growled while turning away from her to look at Raditz, his annoyance was written all over his face. "Enough. You two are to go Planet Earth, or whatever the hell it's called. Get Kakarott and then come back here, understood?"
Raditz nodded, before he could make a move to leave Usagi spoke up. "Why aren't you coming with us?" She asked in a small voice.
Vegeta turned back towards her and smirked, "She speaks." He said mockingly. "Normally, I don't answer to weak women but I think this time I can make an exception. Our pods," He pointed his thumb towards a pair of pods that were next to the camp fire. "Hyper speed generators are damaged. It would take us nearly a year in travel time to get to Earth. And don't even think of suggesting that we go back to Frezia's base to get new ones either, you idiot."
Vegeta's hand shot out and grabbed her upper arm, as he spoke his hand began to squeeze. "Frezia doesn't know about our little get together. This will remain a secret, got it?"
The pressure on Usagi's arm was almost unbearable; as she spoke she tired not to let the pain register in her voice. "Yes."
"Yes, what?" Vegeta asked while eyeing her expression.
"Yes, Prince Vegeta," She replied slowly.
Vegeta smirked as he let her go and began walking back to the camp fire to enjoy the rest of his meal. "Go now, and make sure to return within twenty hours."
"As you command Prince Vegeta," Raditz replied while bowing.
Vegeta stopped and looked over his shoulder at Usagi. "Oh and woman, make sure to come back with less clothing."
Before Usagi had a chance to respond, Raditz grabbed her by the same arm that Vegeta had and hauled her away towards their pods. Placing her helmet back on she sighed to herself, 'I wonder what he's going to do to me once we return?'
