Vegeta ended up landing through a palace window. He wanted to see his mate and see if they found anything. As he looked over at his mate, he could see there were some new faces there. Gine and Chichi were in the main room as well; their cubs were playing on the floor. Chichi looked a little beat up, but she looked in good spirits.

He made to ask Bulma what was going on, but Raditz beat him to it. "Frieza went after my brother's family."

Vegeta had to laugh at that. "So Frieza's gone as well?"

Chichi smiled. "Of course he is. Goku took care of everything." She was beaming from ear to ear.

"I wonder where Bardock is." Gine said. "He ran off, but hasn't come back yet."

"His squad went after the Ginyu force, so I can't tell you anything there." Vegeta said, turning back to Raditz. "How far did Zarbon get with the shield?"

"Not very far," Raditz said with a smirk. "He didn't get the rules about touching me." The larger saiyan moved over to his mate, noting that she was still reading. "I'm glad they didn't have an amulet with them though. That could have been really bad."

Vegeta tensed up at the word amulet. He knew that he had heard something about an amulet recently, but he couldn't figure out where it was. Did Cold say something about it? "It is shocking that they didn't bring one. They knew that we had nightwalkers like you around."

Onna looked up from her book. "Maybe they didn't want to use them here. They have another target," She said, turning the book in her hands around.

Vegeta stared at it the picture on the page. "What is that?" It just looked like a bunch of abandoned buildings.

"Those are ancient temples on the moon. They used to be used for specialized training back in the day and trade stations for the main planet. It was a protective measure," Onna said.

"Specialized training?" Vegeta asked, pondering what Onna was talking about. This was the first time he had heard about the moon being used for such things.

"Everything I've read doesn't say that much about it. The information was under lock and key for the most part," Onna said. "Of course, my sister would know about it if she read the archives."

"So she planned to take Tarble to the moon in the first place," Bulma said. "Why?"

"I'm surprised that the elites held up there for so long." Raditz pondered. "How were they able to make their own resources?"

"What do you mean?" Vegeta asked.

"The moon, from what I know about it, lacks the resources for life," Raditz said. "Of course, most of that knowledge comes from the research that's already in our archives," The large saiyan continued. "Because most of the population transforms under the moon, not much is known. Even I've never really looked at it."

"So all we have are a couple of books and the raving of a mad King to go off of." Vegeta said, his eyes going wide as he remembered what Cold had told him.

"Vegeta, what are you talking about?" Gure could see that the emperor was unnerved by something.

The emperor moved to sit down. "I was fighting with Cold, he was about to kill me, then he started talking about Tarble. After that most of it is a blank…I think I went to the next stage of super saiyan."

"It's not fun is it?" Kakarot said, flying in. "I don't like using it, all it does is give me a headache."

Chichi walked up to her husband. "But you did protect me like that."

"I told you, that was just a fluke. I couldn't control myself," Kakarot said, looking off to the side.

"You didn't kill me, did you?" Chichi said with a sly smile.

Kakarot rolled his eyes. "No, but that doesn't mean anything. You were still in danger."

Chichi shook her head. "You came out of it when I spoke to you." She moved to pick up her son.

Vegeta sighed. "I understand what Kakarot is talking about though. Your mind goes blank. The only thing you feel is this overpowering blood lust."

Kakarot nodded. "How did you fall over the edge?"

Vegeta looked down at floor. "I don't remember. Everything is in bits and pieces. When I came out of it, Cold's face wasn't recognizable anymore." The emperor looked up. "I wasn't sure it was him until just now."

The captain nodded. "That was me the first time. I wasn't sure that I killed my mother until I got a good look at the body." He was hoping that Chichi would get the hint, but she was still nothing but smiles.

"It was so strange. It was like I didn't even know who I was," Vegeta said. "All I wanted to do was kill."

"I think that we aren't supposed to go that far. The normal level of super saiyan is hard enough to control." Kakarot said. "The second form, it's nothing but primal rage."

Vegeta nodded. "It feels like the ozzaru form, but even worse. I know when that's going to end." The emperor looked over at his mate. "I don't want to think of what would happen if anyone close to me was near."

"Yeah, it's not the best feeling," Kakarot answered.

"What about Tarble?" Everyone turned to look at Gure. "We are focusing so much time on Vegeta and Kakarot, but Tarble is still out there with that controlling bitch."

Onna put her hand on the Tech-Tech's shoulder. "We can easily send a ship up to the moon."

"But will we be ready for what we are going to see?" Raditz asked, moving next to his mate. "Tarble isn't in his right mind. I have a bad feeling about all of this."

"What do you know?" Vegeta pondered. The scientist wasn't saying something.

"I listened to the recording more than once and came across something interesting," Raditz said. "I started from beginning and I came across a trial from hundreds of years ago."

"What does that have to do with Tarble?" Gure asked before Vegeta could.

"That trial belonged to King Arble himself. Of course before then, there were quite a few recordings of him interrogating people." Raditz said. "In the beginning, he wasn't that much different from Tarble. However, once they got to his trial…"

"What happened?" Gine asked.

Raditz pulled out the box. "Why don't you listen and find out."

Two saiyans stared at each other as they looked down at their former King. Arble was just sitting there, laughing like a maniac. "So you think you're special? I can show you special."

"I'm so glad we have these," one of the saiyan's said pointing to a stone around his neck.

"Yeah, if that Tuffle didn't find it, we would be screwed," the other said.

"That Tuffle did nothing." The men froze as they looked over at the Princess, now Queen. "I found that stone," she said sadly, looking down at her brother. How did it come to this?

"Vega, I wondered when you were going to show up here," Arble said with an insane smile. "Did you want to play?"

"There's still time, brother." She said, moving closer. She wanted to take the stone off of her, but she knew that she couldn't.

"Time? You mean play time?" Some would take that as an innocent request, but no. His eyes were a murderous red as they looked up at her.

"I'm not going to fall for that, Arble," Vega said, sitting on the table in front of her brother. "Your time in the darkness is over."

Arble frowned. "What would you know about darkness, dear sister? You'll never understand the things I've seen."

"Then try to get me to understand," she said on the verge of tears.

"A daywalker like you could never understand," He scoffed. "From the moment you were born, you were loved. I was hated. Mother tossed me into the darkness, she wanted me to know it. Just like her," Arble continued. "You were the precious princess. I was the unwanted prince. Mother wanted to give the crown to you. A daywalker like you is supposed to rule, but I was the first born. That crown was my birthright!" His voice was growing in anger. "And just like everyone else, you tossed me to the side. Don't pretend that you were all innocent in this."

"Arble, if I knew…" She started.

"What would you have done, Vega?" Arble said, with his eyes flashing red. "Nothing. That's what you would have done." His voice was starting to change. "I would have been left to the wolves like I always was. The darkness is my only ally. No one is to be trusted. The darkness is all I have."

"You have me." She tried to reach him, but knew that the darkness was in control once more. She moved the amulet closer, but it had no effect.

"No, I've never had you, sister," Arble said with venom. "Darkness is my only friend."

She shook her head. "Remember when we were children. I always tried to talk to you."

He chuckled. "Tried is a funny word. Trying isn't the same as doing, dear sister. Trying is the same as giving up."

The Queen burst into tears. "I'm sorry."

"Why are you sorry? I'm complete," the deranged King said with a crazed smirk.

"No, brother, you're a mess." She moved to hug him, making him recoil away from her touch. "Let me help you."

He snarled, as he made to reach for the stone. But her hand stopped him. He growled. "How can you help me, if you don't even trust me?" Arble pushed her off of him. "Leave me, Your Highness." He chuckled at her. "Isn't that what you always wanted to hear?"

She moved away from him, looking back at him in tears. "I never wanted any of this. I only wanted to save you."

"You're twenty years too late." Arble answered, he watched her back as she left. "If only you had stopped her back then, all of this would have been avoided." He looked away from her.

"Arble, what could I have done?" She asked. "I was a child."

Arble's eyes remained red. "So was I." He looked up at the ceiling. "Don't show up at the execution tomorrow. I wouldn't want you to see something that damaging, would I?"

Vega looked back one last time at her brother. "I'm going to miss you."

He didn't answer until she was already out the door. "Sure, like I'm going to believe something like that."

The recording ended and Vegeta felt a little odd listening to it. These were his ancestors, but it looked like Vega was in the same position that he was. He sighed. From the sound of it, the darkness had a complete hold on Arble. The idea that the same had happened to Tarble knocked the air out of him. Would Tarble hold the same grunge?

"But they aren't the same," Gure said, getting everyone's attention. "Tarble was tricked by Betra. He didn't grow up surrounded by that darkness."

"He almost was," Vegeta argued.

"But that doesn't mean that this is permanent," Gure answered. "Remember, Betra is controlling Tarble." She moved over to the box. "Near the end, we heard Tarble parroting her words. He's under a spell. He believes we are the enemy."

"Isn't that what Arble saw in his sister too?" Bulma asked.

"No, Arble saw his sister as an enemy from the get go. Tarble was our friend…" Gure looked off to the side blushing. "And maybe even more."

"So do we just need to take out Betra or will there be more to it?" Kakarot said, sounding confused.

"That's what I'm trying to figure out." Raditz said. "I know it sounds harsh, but we should go in there armed." The smart saiyan moved, pulling out a box and handing an amulet to Vegeta. "This should shut down both Tarble and Betra's powers so you can at least talk to him."

Vegeta nodded. "I need you to prepare me a ship."

Gure moved after him. "I'm coming too." There was nothing that was going to keep her away from saving Tarble.

The emperor agreed; he would need Gure. "Kakarot can stay here, but I would prefer if Raditz went with us. I'll need his knowledge if anything gets too crazy."

"So you need me to look after the planet then?" The captain said and Vegeta nodded. "I'll call the commission soon. We need to report that Frieza's army is gone."

Vegeta began to laugh. "Have fun talking to the commissioner."

Kakarot rolled his eyes. "Like I think that's any fun."

Chichi wondered what was going on. Her husband didn't seem too fond of this aspect of his job.

"Well, maybe your mate can sit there with you?" Vegeta said with a smirk. "The commissioner wouldn't dare to hit on you then."

Chichi turned red with anger. "She does what?!" Her eyes went to Goku, but noticed his annoyance.

"I never asked for it," Kakarot said. "Besides, I made sure to tell her that I have a mate. She just doesn't take no for an answer."

Chichi relaxed as Vegeta picked up a glass of water and took a sip. "I think Vegeta's right."

The emperor spat out his drink. "What?" Over the last 10 years, he thought he would never hear the harpy say such a thing.

"I can sit with my husband when he makes the call." She rolled her eyes. "Don't get a big head over this!" she snapped at him.

"We don't have time for stupid shit," Gure snapped. "We need to go and find Tarble."

Vegeta stood, looking over at Raditz. "Let's get going."

"The ship will take about thirty minutes to get ready," Raditz informed him, as he walked by.

"I don't care. Just make it happen," Vegeta said, following Raditz. He would get his brother back. This wouldn't be like what happened in the past. Tarble would not share the same fate as Arble, Vegeta wouldn't allow it.
