Chapter 8 Goku's POV
We were all in the lab while Bulma ran tests on the girl who's name Vegeta provided which turned out to be Maria. I thought it was pretty, actually she was pretty in general she had these soft features she really resembled what I would think an actual princess should look like. Her body was frighteningly thin though not what I would expect of a Saiyan woman Bulma had explained why she was like that though because Vegeta questioned it as soon as the thought ran through my mind.
Bulma looked at her clip board and tapped a pen to her mouth before answering trying to think of the right way to put it but apparently she took too long because Vegeta snapped. "Damn it woman answer me why my sister looks as weak and frail as any other mortal woman!"
She lifted her head to glare right back at him and without missing a beat she responded in kind, "Well your highness I was making sure I had all the facts before answering! Apparently she's been suffering from malnutrition. If you think about it she was in a freak show and probably wasn't given regular meals and even if she did get regular meals it's extremely unlikely that the quantity was enough for her metabolism to burn through thus putting her body into a sort of starvation mode.
"In any case she obviously hasn't gotten any regular exercise which is also a logical explanation for why her body is so weak and it responded to the pain from the whipping."
It made sense I nodded accepting this as an answer I felt horrible for this poor young girl but I was also confused that the fact Vegeta kept that he had a sister from us. Maybe he thought she was dead along with the rest of our race when Freeza destroyed it. I refrained from asking him about it but Bulma wasn't as sensitive as I was and completely bombarded Vegeta with questions about it.
Glaring at his wife Vegeta finally gave the explanation we wanted to hear, "It was 4 years before planet Vegeta was destroyed. I've only encountered her a handful of times in my life but I would never forget those odd green eyes of hers, she was weak for a royal Saiyan so father thought it would be best to send her off to another planet so she could dominate and gain more power before he announced to the public that he had a daughter. To him it was bad enough to have a daughter let alone a weakling regardless of the gender.
"She was sent to sector 872 and had taken over easily after 3 years if being there, but that isn't surprising considering it was a planet of creatures weaker than you humans. She returned and proved to be extremely powerful for her age and smart she could speak properly and carry an argument about anything with anyone."
He chuckled as if remembering one particular argument he possibly had with the 3 year old warrior, "Father wanted to send her to one more planet before finally telling the community about her it was sector 531 along with another young boy they were apparently going to be betrothed once they returned but Maria's ship crashed into what looked like a gigantic rock and wasn't heard from again and neither was the boy's both were assumed dead. Not long after the planet Vegeta was destroyed I haven't given my sister a thought since."
I thought it was awful it was obvious that Vegeta cared about the girl when they were younger and it still showed now but I wondered about who this other Saiyan was and what planet they were to go to. I glanced to the side to see Bulma typing furiously on her laptop and pictures and words were popping up on the screen muttering to herself about how it all made sense. Vegeta growled at her and yelled about her speaking up if it was something important. They really were an angry couple I don't know how they lived with each other.
Knowing that the two of them wouldn't get any answers with the way they were going at it I interrupted, "So what did you find on the computer Bulma?"
She looked and some kind of emotion crossed her face but I wasn't sure what it meant but I stayed silent so she could just spit it out and get it over with.
"Well sector 531 is non other than earth and from what I've gathered only two Saiyans were sent here the female being Maria here and as for the male the only possibility is you."
