Zera looked over at her brothers. She wondered why they had been called here. Her father seemed to have something on his mind. She just couldn't help but wonder what that could be. They rarely met as a family.

She glared at her father. He'd better make this quick. She had more important things to be doing right now. She was still having blackouts, but soon her new body would be completed and this pile of trash would be destroyed. There had been some perks to having a body like this. Raditz clearly wanted it, but he would learn to love her new body. She could only imagine what the sex would be like once they were finally alone. The little harlot would be gone and they would finally be together. She could hardly wait.

Zera had to give props to Cooler though. Her brother didn't look like he wanted to be here either. She knew about the little Tech-Tech that he was harboring. Cooler had grown to understand why she saw something in her little saiyan. Cooler understood what love really was now. Her older sibling gave her a nod as their father looked over at Frieza.

Frieza was a different creature entirely. Unlike Cooler and herself, Frieza had been kept separate from them from the time he was a child. Her father was grooming his own little attack dog. She swore that Frieza had no emotions outside of his love of watching others suffer. She liked to watch other people suffer as well, but it was different. Frieza gained no pleasure from such things. He only took glory in conquering. Cooler liked to conquer, but her older brother was more refined. Frieza carried a chip on his shoulder that just made him unbearable.

"So, Father, why have you called us here?" Cooler asked.

Frieza only leaned back into his chair. She didn't like the cocky look on his face. "Father will speak when he's ready, Cooler."

Cooler glared at Frieza. "I have things to attend to."

Frieza only smirked. "Like fucking that midget."

"She's more than that!" Cooler snapped.

"What Cooler does, is none of your concern," She said.

Frieza only continued to grin. "Says the nut job with the monkey. I swear that you two have lost your pride." Frieza smiled. "The two of you don't really deserve to be called royalty."

Cooler and Zera growled and made to attack, but their father chuckled, making all of them freeze. "Father…" They all said at the same time.

"Frieza has a point. The two of you are a letdown. Seriously, a midget and a monkey? I thought my genes were better than that, but I guess not." King Cold said, standing from his chair.

"But father, you don't understand. I love her." Cooler began, but grew silent as the King glared at him.

"Love…you fell in love? Our kind doesn't fall in love! We long to control and conquer. Love has no real use for us." Cold snapped. "There is nothing that you can obtain from marrying such a creature, Cooler. She has nothing left. It is a waste of your potential." Cold turned to Zera. "And don't get me started on you. Everything I have ever worked for was destroyed because of your lust for a monkey. What the hell did you think you could get out of a monkey?!"

Her eyes narrowed. "Raditz has created your new army, along with new weaponry." She pointed at Frieza. "If it weren't for him, it wouldn't have been destroyed."

She was smacked hard across the face and thrown into a wall. "I sent your brother out with those ships. Are you saying that my judgement is wrong?" Her father asked.

Zera shook with fear. It was almost as if she was a child again. "No…" She was kicked in the stomach.

She spit blood out onto the floor. "What was that?" Frieza smirked.

"No, sir." She looked down at the ground. She knew this place rather well. As a child, she often questioned why she was even around. His father never wanted a daughter. She was hated from the beginning.

Her father walked by her. "If only you had listened to me. You would have been married and we wouldn't be dealing with this shit right now."

Frieza chuckled. "Planet Vegeta would have been destroyed years ago."

Her heart raced. She knew that her host was listening. But there was nothing that she could do for her. Zera shook her head. She wanted that woman gone. She was a wedge between her and Raditz.

"That's why I have decided on an heir." King Cold said, making the room go quiet. "Because of your failure, Cooler, Frieza will be taking my place as King."

"But father…" Cooler rushed forward.

King Cold growled. "Did I stutter?

Cooler backed away. "No, sir."

"Good." Cold moved away. "Now leave me in peace."

Frieza smirked. "Whatever you wish, Father."

"Frieza, you stay. We have much to discuss, including your upcoming wedding." Their father grinned.

Cooler and Zera looked over at their youngest sibling and watched as Frieza's face became devoid of all emotion. "Yes, father."

"The two of you can leave. Head back to your abominations." Cold said, turning his back on his two oldest children.

Zera looked over at Cooler as they made to exit. She had always expected to be looked over as an heir, but her brother had never known the feeling before. She felt a twinge of pity for him, but said nothing. She could tell that it would only piss him off.

Raditz smirked to himself. Today was the day. He looked down at the key that he had fashioned and knew that it was now or never.

Raditz moved over to the wall and moved the metal key across slot on the door. It popped open and he smirked as he looked down the hall. He was lucky. The hall was empty.

Raditz walked across the hall and moved the key in front of the slot on the door to Gure's prison. The door snapped open and he ran inside.

Raditz was shocked. It was completely different from the place he was being held in. Cooler had more than just a couple of rooms. This place was practically a mansion. It was going to take forever to go through here and he didn't have much time.

That and he had no idea if Cooler was even here. That would really throw a wrench in his plans.

Standing here was doing nothing though, so he began to move from room to room, planning each one of his steps carefully.

Suddenly, Raditz felt something slightly humid in the air. Did Cooler have a green house in here? If he did, then Gure might be out there.

Raditz opened the door to find what looked like hundreds of exotic plants around him. The scientist in him wanted to examine everything, but he had no time for that. He needed to find Gure.

Raditz froze as he heard footsteps and made to move around the corner. He was far too tall to truly hide in here. His eyes darted back and forth. If it was Cooler, he was done for.

A sniffling noise came through the air and Raditz turned to find a very beautiful woman crying as she looked out at space.

Raditz took in the form in front of him. That grey skin and that silver hair. Those could only belong to a Tech-Tech. That had to be Gure.

She paced. Raditz could see the look of pure terror on her face. Raditz felt angry. He had a pretty good idea of what Cooler had done. Tarble wasn't going to like this.

Raditz sighed. If only he had made the key sooner, then this wouldn't have happened. He decided to end her pain. "Gure."

She jumped and turned to see him standing there. "Raditz?"

"Come on, I'm getting you out of here." He said, motioning for her to follow him.

She followed. "How did you escape from your room?" She asked.

"Don't worry about that now. I don't know how much time we have before someone comes back." He stated.

Gure nodded. "I understand."

They moved quickly, exiting Cooler's quarters and heading into the main hallway. "Have you seen the layout of the ship?" He asked, hoping that they knew where they were going.

She nodded. "I saw it before I was moved in with Cooler." She said as they rounded a corner. He nodded and began to follow her.

Raditz didn't like this. The hallways were too empty. Something had to be going on. "It's quiet." He said.

"Too quiet." So she understood the problem as well. "Cooler did seem on edge when he left earlier."

"King Cold must have called everyone for something." He said. "If that's the case, we have a chance."

She nodded as they walked into the hanger. Pods were everywhere. Gure couldn't believe her luck. She really didn't know how much longer she was going to be able to hold out. If Raditz hadn't shown up, then she didn't know what she would have done.

"Get in a pod. I can set the coordinates for you." Raditz stated as she got in.

She looked at him in confusion. "What about you?" She asked. He said nothing. "Raditz?"

"I will be fine." He stated.

She remained puzzled. "But why stay? We need to return to Planet Vegeta."

"I have unfinished business here. Go and tell everyone that I am fine." Raditz said, pushing a button that closed the door to her pod.

Gure froze in shock. Raditz seemed so calm about everything. She wanted to say something, but she was closed off from him as the door of the hanger opened up. Men filled the hanger and Gure slammed her hands against the pod as it began to fly away. The last thing she saw was Raditz being tossed to the ground before the hyperdrive kicked in. She cried out as tears fell from her eyes. If only he had listened. Then he could have come with her.

Raditz chuckled as he was kicked the stomach. The room around him was filling with soldiers and in seconds, he knew that Cooler and Zera were there.

"Raditz!" She said angrily. "What the hell are you doing out here?!"

He only laughed as she came over and pulled some of the soldiers off of him. He felt blood on his lips and knew that there had to be some internal bleeding.

Cooler looked around. "Where is Gure?"

Raditz let out a mad laugh. "Where you can't touch her."

Cooler growled at him. "You no good monkey! You're going to let him ruin her!" Cooler made to attack him, but Zera jumped in the way, taking a hit to the face. She spit out blood for the second time that day and glared up at her brother.

Raditz snarled as his eyes changed as he grabbed onto Cooler's leg. Cooler fell to the ground and began to scream in pain. Raditz laughed as he looked over the man's memories. Cooler had just lost his position as heir to Frieza because of Gure. Now the man couldn't take out his frustrations. Raditz frowned as the memories of what Cooler had done to Gure went through his head. He snarled louder.

But before he could go in for the kill, he was knocked over and everything shifted. For some reason, he could see Zera's memories now. But they were from only a couple of minutes ago. He watched as she was treated like garbage. Years of abuse seemed to go through his head.

The memories disappeared and he looked up to find Zera looking down at him. She was still lying on top of him. She looked terrified. He wasn't supposed to know about any of that. She turned red and looked at the stone in her chest. She had to be wondering why that didn't work.

Raditz didn't know what made him do it, but he put his arms around her pulled them up. He picked her up and started walking out of the hanger, towards their room.

He walked into their room and slipped her down into their bed and found that she was shaking. Raditz felt her snuggle into him and he let her. He started humming, which turned into purring. Seconds later, she was a sleep.

Raditz sighed. "What am I going to do with you?"

Raditz gives Gure a pod. Gure is free...sorry, I like Dobby from Harry Potter too much. *Goes and stands in corner.
