Chapter 2

Nappa stumbles out of the bar, and begins his slow and shameful walk towards the castle. But before he gets past the alley, he finds himself walking into it. Confused, Nappa tries to walk the other way, but he can't. It's as if some external force is making him walk into the alley. Nappa walks up to some Saiyan that is wearing very old armor, and tattered Saiyan pants. Thinking to himself, he says, 'Why the hell is there some Saiyan from ancient times here? Even low class Saiyans have updated armor, as per the decree of Frieza'

"I've been off planet for some time Nappa," says Duke, "that would be why my armor appears to be so old."

"Wha- how did you know what I was thinking, and how do you know my name? Who are you, and what the hell am I doing here?" Nappa looks dumbfounded at Duke, trying to figure out his new situation.

"I know your name because I heard it in the bar a few minutes ago, as for what you were thinking, let's just say your face told me everything I needed to know." Duke smirks at his comment. "Now, what I have brought you into this alley for is some information, some information I would like you to tell me, so that I don't have to rip it out of your skull. I'm sure we both would like me to stay out of your head. Probably to much information inside. Some information that I would really rather you keep to yourself." Duke looks at Nappa, and gives him his stern face.

"What kind of information are you looking for?" Nappa asks.

"Information. Another thing, if you try to lie to me, I will know, and I will punish you accordingly. First question, what do you know about the Royal Family?"

"The Royal Family, well, I'm their adviser, and personal assistant to the prince."

"To the prince eh? Keep going. Who is the Royal family?"

"Uh, well, there's the King, the prince, both of which are named Vegeta, and then there's Queen Tensai."

"Okay, that's the immediate Royal Family, who else?" Duke begins to seep into Nappa's mind, trying to find out if he is lying about any information he has just given him.

"There's no one else, just the family."

"Oh really, then who would take over as King if they all died?"

"Uh," Nappa starts, "Well, um, I dunno."

"That's a lie Nappa, now you get punished." Duke clenches his face, and Nappa suddenly falls to the ground. Nappa screams out in pain, and holds his head. Duke says in a pained voice, "Now tell me who else is in the Royal Family."

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you. Just stop this pain in my head." Nappa pleads with Duke.

"Tell me, and then I'll make it stop."

"Okay, let's see, there's Toral, and Barok, grunt they're sister and half brother to the King."

"And who are they? Just some Saiyans that have been thrown out of the picture by the almighty king?"

"No, they still have power, just nowhere near as much as King Vegeta grunt please, make this stop, I've told you what I know, and I'll tell you more if you stop the pain." Nappa's nose begins to bleed. He looks at Duke, and hopes he sees that Nappa is going to tell him the truth.

"Alright, fine, I'll stop it." Duke unclenches his face, and the strain on both of their minds stops. Nappa stumbles forwards, and falls on the ground face first.

Nappa breaths a sigh of relief, and looks up at Duke. "Okay, thanks, now is there anything else you want to know?"

"Yes, since we all know that King Vegeta has a son, wouldn't it make sense if Barok and Toral had some kids of their own? Who are they?" Duke sits down, and stares at Nappa, prepared in case he lies again.

"Well, uh since Barok is only half, he isn't as important as Toral. Toral has three kids as far as I can remember. Two of them are identical, something I've never seen in Saiyans before. Vulcan is one of them, and Golar is the other."

"And you fought with Vulcan just now in the bar, is that correct?"

"Yes, he's actually stronger than his brother, and he controls his own elite team. How he got one is beyond me, I could take any planet he could with half his men."

"Yeah, you proved that in the bar just now. Vulcan did a number on you, and you're twice his size." Duke smiles at this, and wonders to himself what it would be like to face Vulcan.

"He got the best of me. But anyway, Tolan is the other kid, and she has her own team, though it isn't elite. I guess that Vulcan was just a fluke in the family."
"And what power and connections does Toral's family have?"

"Not much, they can order some of the lower class Saiyans around, and refuse some missions that Frieza hands out. But I doubt that either of those would happen. They are too, what's it called? Different, I guess is the best I can think of. They don't order any Saiyans around, and they never refuse any missions Frieza gives them. I'm surprised the family is still around."

"So then I'm guessing they aren't as heartless as King Vegeta right?"

"If you say so."

"What about Barok's family?"

"Well, he's mated with Maryl, and has three kids of his own. Shade, the oldest, Shadow, and Flinx, the youngest."

"And their powers and connections?"

"None really. Shade is on Vulcan's elite team, along with Shadow. They're nowhere near as strong as Vulcan is, at least as my scouter reads of them." Nappa thinks really hard before his next comment. "Oh, yeah, almost forgot, Barok lost his arm a few years back when he had a scuffle with the King. So all he does now is sit in low class bars, and drink til he passes out."

"I'm sure he doesn't pass out, just leaves before you realize he's gone." Duke scowls at Nappa for degrading any Saiyan that has been wronged by the King.

"Is there anything else you need to know, or can I go now?" Nappa begins to stand up, but is held down by some unknown force. Tarah nods to Duke from behind Nappa.

"Yes, tell me who all is on Vulcan's team, and how to get into the castle."

"Uh, let's see. There's who I've already told you, then there's their mates, Lenora and Malena. There is also Asper, he's kind of a loner, but definitely he's elite quality. Don't know how he ended up on Vulcan's team instead of mine." Nappa pauses for a second before he continues. "As far as getting into the castles, there are three ways in. One is obviously through the front door, another is through the dungeons, which is located on the east side."

There is a long pause from Nappa.

"And the third?"

"The third, well, that one is a bit risky."

"How so?"

"You really shouldn't know, I wouldn't try it if I were you."
"And why is that?" Duke stares down Nappa, and starts to walk towards him.

"Because, Frieza's top men use that entrance to get into the castle, without King Vegeta knowing about it. If you try it, you'd be taken down before you got thirty feet from it."
"Oh really? Do you think they'd know about my special abilities?"

Nappa stutters, "Uh, well, um, I dunno, I've never tried it myself. But I do know this, they are Frieza's strongest men on the planet. Stronger even than King Vegeta himself."

"That's not saying much, seeing as I plan on killing him for what he brought my family into."

Nappa stares at Duke for a second. "You plan on doing what?"

"You heard me," Duke nods to Tarah, and she moves into a closer position to Nappa. "I plan on killing the King."

"Ha, like you could do that. You only have your special tricks, and that won't last against the strongest Saiyan."

"How would you know, you're already dead," Duke says coldly.

"Wha-" Nappa is barely able to finish his sentence, as Tarah uncloaks herself, and leaps upon Nappa's back. With a sudden and swift move, Tarah grabs Nappa's neck, and swings her whole body to his front. With a snap, Nappa's spine is severed from his head, and he ceases to live. Tarah loosens her grip on Nappa's neck, and she spins all the way around him, repositioning herself on his back again. As Nappa falls forward, she kicks off his back, and lands in front of Duke.

"Damn, he's a big son of a-" Tara starts.

"Yeah, I know. Surprising how such a large Saiyan has such little power, and even less brain function."

"Well, it appears that you might be an exception to these Saiyans. Only a few are as smart, or as cunning as yourself. Too bad they are going to have their lives cut short." Tarah smiles. "I kinda found that Vulcan to be attractive from what I saw of him in that bar against Nappa."

"Well, from what Nappa told us, I don't think we'll have too much to deal with as far as Vulcan goes, or his team for that matter."

"Oh, and why is that?"

"Because, they would probably think it a good idea to take down the king. He's not the same as Vulcan and the Saiyans he hangs out with. Not heartless. Not evil. But revenge must be taken, and if they do get in my way, we must prepare for such a possibility." Duke concentrates for a moment, then turns to Tarah. "Follow me to get some armor, then head back to the ship, and supply everyone with the new armor. Then tell S'kur to locate Vulcan's Asper, and watch him closely. If you have to, go with him to keep him cloaked."

"Okay, understood."

"Good, now lets go."

"Right behind ya Duke."

So, that's chapter two in Duke's quest for revenge against the King of Saiyans. I will start work on Chapter 3 soon, but I want to see if I get any reviews first. Tell me what you like, or don't like. I'll try to change my writing to fit what is wanted out there right now.
