Kakarot found his father leaving the palace at the same time as he was. They gave each other a nod as the two of them looked up. The ships were just beginning to show themselves through the atmosphere.

"Your mother and Turles are with Onna," Bardock said, staring upward.

Kakarot only stared up at the threat. "I'm going to make sure that Chichi and Gohan have been moved."

"I'll hold your position until you get back," Bardock said before his son flew off. He sighed looking back up at the sky. Was this going to become normal?

Bardock heard some footsteps next to him, only to find Raditz looking up at the mess. His eldest said nothing. It looked like Raditz was thinking.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked his son.

Raditz grinned to Bardock's surprise. "Those ships are the Commission's."

"Yes, I know that. What about them?" Bardock questioned.

"They are made of an aluminum alloy," Raditz chuckled. "It's a light metal that is easy to work with, but…"

"But?" Bardock didn't have time for a trivia game.

"It's a weak metal that can be easily destroyed and melted with a couple of blasts," Raditz continued to laugh, pulling a vial out of his pocket and tossing it to his father. "I have plenty of that compound lying around. Their armor also has aluminum in it."

"What's in here?" It had been awhile since Raditz had to explain something like this to him.

"Why don't you try it and see," Raditz said with a grin. "I've made a couple of bombs with that element, but I only thought they would be useful now."

Bardock sighed. He knew better than to ask his son anything else. It was better to just try this out and see. "Let me ask one thing."

"Shoot," Raditz said, with no intent of telling his father what was in the vial.

"Should I be next to this when it goes off?" Bardock asked.

"No, that's wouldn't be wise," Raditz said. "Use it like a grenade."

Bardock couldn't help but feel a little afraid of what was in the vial now. If this was as dangerous as his son was making it to be, he really didn't want to touch it.

The alarm continued to sound as Vegeta joined them on the balcony. He looked absolutely thrilled. Raditz only chuckled. "So, she told you."

The emperor looked up at the scientist. "How did you know?"

"Vegeta, who do you think she went to for the test? Humans are a little different from us, so I had to make some modifications. That and I did have to ask Chichi how the doctor she had seen in space had done it," Raditz answered.

Now this was something that Bardock could figure out. His eyes went wide. There was going to be an heir to the throne. "Congratulations, my Emperor."

Vegeta smirked at that, but at the same time, he stared up the sky. "How far out are they?"

Raditz looked back up. "They don't have that far to go through the atmosphere."

"So, you're still out here?" Vegeta looked at the scientist. "Why?"

The smart saiyan moved around the balcony. "I was just intrigued, that's all," he chuckled lightly. "To think that they almost removed me from you all of those years ago."

"But you made the choice to stay with me," Vegeta said.

"At the time, I chose to stay with Tarble…" Raditz said. "The fact that he isn't here for this is disappointing."

Vegeta couldn't help but ponder what Raditz was saying. "Why do you find it disappointing?"

Raditz sighed. "Tarble used to talk about the days when we would take down the Commission." He looked over at the vial in his father's hand. "The idea for that came from him."

Bardock looked shocked, but Vegeta was blown away by that. "Tarble was looking at destroying the Commission? Why didn't you tell me this before?"

Raditz shrugged. "There was never time. Besides, Tarble didn't want you to get caught. The information he was getting had to be stolen. He didn't want you to get hurt by what he was doing."

Vegeta felt his stomach drop. The fact that Tarble had been thinking about him was kind of touching, even if he was thousands of miles away on the moon. "If I had just talked to him…"

"You saw what she did to us on the moon," Raditz said, looking up at the moon. "We have to trust Gure. Besides, we have a bigger problem. Let's focus on that." Raditz pulled something out of his pocket. It was a strange blue rock. Vegeta recognized it from the surface of their moon. Before the emperor could ask, Raditz answered. "Gure must have put it in my bag before we left."

The smart saiyan walked up to the edge of the balcony with the stone in hand. He closed his eyes, before opening them. Around him, he could hear thousands of voices. Even his father and Vegeta's thoughts sounded as if they were talking instead of just thinking. Raditz smirked. He could hear Kakarot off in the distance. Seconds later, his brother joined them on the balcony.

"What's Raditz doing out here?" Kakarot asked, noting the stone in his brother's hands.

Everyone only remained quiet though as Raditz zeroed in on one of the ships. He could hear the thoughts of the commanders inside. He smirked. "They think that they can wait till night."

Raditz heard his father, brother, and Vegeta begin to laugh at that. "They really think that is going to work here?" Kakarot fell to his knees, barely able to breathe.

"Don't they know about the Ozzaru form?" Vegeta cackled.

Raditz kept listening and his eyes went wide. "We need to go after them now."

"What do you mean, we can crush them later," Bardock said.

Raditz's vision turned to where the moon would be. "They plan to blow up the moon before they attack."

Vegeta froze. "But Tarble and Gure are there." His mind kept trying to flash between all of the different outcomes.

"I'm going to go back," Raditz said. "I can at least warn them." Bardock stared at his oldest, ready to comment on the danger. "Betra should be about to give birth any day now. Besides, we need to make sure that Gure is still alive. I wouldn't put it past Betra to try and kill her."

Vegeta nodded. "If you can tell Tarble in time, he can safeguard the moon from their attacks."

Raditz left them immediately, with his mission in mind. It wouldn't take him long to get to the moon. He could trust everyone else with the planet. He had already been planning to leave, so Onna would know where he was going. She was close to birth as well, but she was in good hands. His mother knew what to do.

Raditz ran by everyone, going towards the hanger and picking out a ship. With the new technology that he had implemented on it, he knew that it would take him less than five minutes to get there and land. He knew that he only had about an hour until the moon was blown up.

Raditz pushed a couple of buttons before the ship shot out. He only hoped that the Commission didn't spot him before he landed. That would spell disaster for everyone, especially Tarble.

Raditz sighed as he sat there waiting. He wasn't going to allow Tarble to be killed. Even if the smaller saiyan was out of his right mind, Tarble was still his best friend and brother. He would pull him back by his toenails if he had to.

Vegeta paced. He was trying to stay calm. Would Raditz get there in time? He didn't know how he would react if he watched an explosion in the sky…knowing that it was the moon and not a ship.

"Vegeta." The emperor turned his eyes towards Kakarot, only to find them staring at him with anger. "You need to focus."

"How can I focus with my brother and Gure on the moon that is about to explode?" Vegeta quipped.

"Raditz will take care of it," Kakarot growled.

"And what if he doesn't? If the moon blows and Raditz is there, then he will die too!" Vegeta snarled.

Kakarot held his ground though. "Then what do we do, hug?! Do we stand here like fucking animals and be slaughtered?! I don't think so!"

Vegeta could see Kakarot's eyes alternating between black and green. "Kakarot, calm down a bit."

"Why? The confident leader that I once knew keeps running away like a coward!" Electricity crackled between them. "I trust my brother, you should too."

"But there is a chance that they will see him before he makes it to the moon, Kakarot," Vegeta tried to explain. "If that happens, they won't hesitate to destroy him."

"Then my brother will have died with honor! Stop thinking about yourself, and feeling sorry for yourself."

"I'm not thinking about myself. We will be decimated if Raditz is killed," Vegeta said.

"Then why did you let him leave?!" Kakarot growled.

Vegeta looked away. "Because I'm scared, Kakarot!"

Kakarot became quiet as he stared at the emperor. "Scared?"

"I may lose everything in this battle. Not just my title. My brother is out on the moon acting like an insane idiot, my planet and my people are about to be attacked once more, my livelihood is at stake here and the only thing I can do is let someone else save my brother, and hope that my mate, along with the other civilians aren't discovered," Vegeta explained.

Kakarot continued to stare at him. "So, are you just going to stand here and wallow in your pain or are you going to do something?"

"You really think that I'm going to stand around, while you get all of the glory?" Vegeta inquired.

The captain moved by the emperor. "I was wondering if that was going to be a problem. Now, let's get going. We need to finish the preparations."

Vegeta looked at the captain's back before following him. Bardock on the other hand just took a deep breath. For a second there, he really thought those two were going to kill each other. Quickly, he ran after them. Who knew what they would do next.

Gure walked out of her room, wearing a new gown. She had never worn this outfit before. Orange wasn't her favorite color, but this particular outfit really showed off her breasts. Her cleavage was sticking out while there was a small strip of fabric going around her neck that draped down her shoulders. Her hair was up, with her bangs sticking up.

She sighed. She wasn't sure about this. Sure, she had found her way into Tarble's bed, but she wanted more than sex. She wanted to keep him to herself.

But she wasn't going to give up. Gure walked down the hall, watching as her dress dragged against the floor. It was a little too long. She needed to take it in and get it tailored for her body.

Gure continued to think to herself as she walked into the kitchen. Betra was nowhere to be found, but Tarble was sitting at the table. His eyes looked up at her then went wide. "Good morning," she said, knowing that this wasn't the first time they had seen each other that morning.

Tarble's eyes scanned the body in front of him. Her skin was so exposed that he couldn't think straight, so he didn't even notice as he stood up and walked over to her, pinning her to the wall with one motion.

"Tarble, are you oka-AH!" Gure yelped as his teeth dug into the side of one of her breasts. Her pain was leaving her though, as pleasure began to spread through her body.

The King groaned as his mind relaxed. The fog in his mind was fading as he began to lap up her blood. "Mine…"

She held his head against her breast, not wanting him to stop. "Tarble…"

Tarble kissed up her chest and neck. Her eyes went wide as she looked up into his eyes as he pulled up. His tail was wrapped around her waist. "Gure…I…" His hand went up to the side of her face. "I'm sorry."

"You're sorry?" She was going to look down at the bite mark, but he kept her face still. His eyes were black again, but that didn't mean anything.

Tarble sighed. "I…" He leaned forward kissing her. "I should have been stronger than this." Everything was coming back to him in flashes. Every single moment leading up to this made him feel nothing but shame. How could he treat Gure this way?

She still felt confused, but that didn't stop her eyes from filling with tears. "Tarble, it's..." He stopped her from saying anything else with his finger.

"I was just so worried. I wanted to find you and she promised me that." Gure's eyes went wide. This couldn't be. Tears began to fall from her eyes. "And before I knew it, my mind had turned into nothing." Tarble looked away from her. "I understand if you hate me now. I betrayed you in the worst way and I know that I may never make it up to you." Tarble didn't have time to react as his face was grabbed and pulled into a kiss. His mind went blank as he lost himself in her scent, panting as they pulled away from the kiss.

Gure smiled at him. "You really think that I could hate you?" Tarble gave her a weak smile. "I wouldn't have come here after you if I didn't love you, Idiot."

The genius smirked at that. "I deserved that." Tarble purred against Gure's neck. "I love you, Gure."

The tech-tech giggled. "What about your queen?"

Tarble rolled his eyes. "You've always been my queen." His eyes moved down her body, staring at the mark he had just left on her. "So, now that we have mated, I can think of some better things to be doing right now."

Gure giggled once more as he picked up her legs, only for a cry to come from down the hall. Tarble rolled his eyes, ready to continue what he was doing, only to hear a voice from down the hall. "I need to find Tarble now!"

Gure let Tarble go, giving him a smile as they moved into the hall. Raditz was standing there, trying to get by Betra. Betra looked incredibly pissed off.
"This ruffian has barged in here unannounced, My King!"

Tarble flinched at that and Betra looked at him with a puzzled look. But the prince didn't care about that, Raditz had come here to find him and from the look of it something was bad. "What's going on?"

Raditz sighed. "The Commission is planning an attack on Planet Vegeta…" he began.

Betra laughed. "What does that have to do with us?"

Tarble growled, making the woman jump. "Raditz, continue." How the hell had he fallen for Betra's game?

Raditz noted that something was off, but kept talking. "They plan to blow the moon up first."

Betra looked like she was about to panic. "We need to get out of here then!"

Tarble rolled his eyes. "We can hold off an attack like that." He walked closer to Raditz, thinking to himself. "With the stones amplifying our power, we may be able to deflect the lasers back at the ships."

Raditz was about to ponder that himself for a second as his eyes went wide. Tarble wasn't trying to attack him at all. "That is possible. I used one of the rocks to listen in to them."

"We'll have to try." Tarble was about to walk out of the building, only to look back at Gure. "We will finish what we started."

Gure turned red, but giggled. "You better."

"Come on, Raditz. Let's get rid of some ships," Tarble said walking past Raditz.

The tallest saiyan felt very confused until he noticed something on Gure's chest, a bite mark. Tarble had mated with Gure. Raditz grinned then followed Tarble out. "It will be just like old times then."

Betra looked over at Gure, she was about to ask about Tarble, when she saw the mark. "You bitch!" She made to run at Gure, only for the tech-tech to move out of the way, making the female saiyan hit her stomach against the wall. She clutched her stomach, her baby must have felt the impact and choose to come out. "No…this is…it's not time."

Gure looked down at the girl as she crumbled to the floor. She thought about leaving her there, but she just couldn't. That was Tarble's child in there. She couldn't just leave it to die. The tech-tech leaned down and pulled Betra up. "Let's get you moved."

"Don't touch me! AH!" Pain moved throughout her body. "I don't need your help!"

Gure only put on the fakest smile. "I wasn't talking to you." Her thoughts were only on the child. She would help bring this child into the world. There was no way that she was going to allow Betra to corrupt it the way she had done to Tarble.

Raditz continued to stare at Tarble as they walked around outside. "So…the moon, huh?" He really didn't know what to say.

Tarble sighed, looking up at Raditz. "You're wondering if I'm still under that spell, aren't you?"

"So, you've come out of that for good?" Raditz asked.

Tarble nodded. "Yes, my head his 100% clear." He made to smile. "You do have to thank Gure for that."

"Thank Kami," Raditz said with relief. It was good to see that Tarble was back to normal. "The fleet should be to the west of here. I don't think it should take that long." The taller saiyan walked towards the west, but Tarble remained in the same place.

"Raditz?" Tarble said, making the older stop in place.

"What?" Raditz asked.

Tarble sighed. "I never thought you were using me."

Raditz stared at his best friend. "I figured that she was just messing with your head."

"It was still a lousy thing for me to say," Tarble said. "You've saved my life more than once, and besides Vegeta, you were my first friend."

"Look, I know we need to go over this, but I'll feel better when we get rid of that ship," Raditz said with a grin.

Tarble nodded. They could talk about this later. "Let's get going. I want to keep this place intact."

"It is quite the find," Raditz said with a smirk as he read his friend's thoughts. "Isn't that sweet?" he teased.

Tarble turned red. "You know it's rude to read other people's thoughts."

"Why? I think Gure would think it was romantic," Raditz chuckled. "I mean, you want to keep this place around because you got to fall for her all over again."

Tarble shook his head, turning redder as he grumbled. "We have a mission, Raditz."

Raditz laughed. "It's good to have you back."

Tarble smiled. "It's good to be back."
