Chi-Chi blinked as her minded felt around. Her son and Videl just disappeared. She had expected them to reappear right onto the ship, but they didn't. She gulped and then calm herself.

Chi-Chi patted the elderly doctor on the back and said, "Get us far away from them, then find us a place to hide."

Dr. Briefs said to her "Will do. Thankfully my daughter has kept this baby in good order."

"Yeah she good for that. I want you to tell me all about the Earth when we're safe."

"You won't like it."

"I can imagine. He probably made the statue of freedom heil."

Dr. Briefs shrugged "Yeah he did."

Chi-Chi shook her head "Typical. How about everyone else?"

"Oh you mean survivors from the planet?"

"Yeah."

"Been listen in. Sounds like billion plus made it. Along with a Tech-Tech refugee ship."

"Great! At least I have some good news for Tarble." The two nodded at each and she then left for the Medbay.

Everyone was in the Medbay. Tights was with Jaco who was still unconscious. The two UNIT agents weren't all that banged up and helping Bulma. Trunks had woken up and was brooding in a corner. Mai had been bandaged up and was sobbing on her cot but despite her better nature, Chi-Chi knew she need to talk with Tarble.

Tarble was on the floor he had been keeping his eyes on Trunks and the situation. His eyes turned to Chi-Chi "So you felt it too. I'm sorry but, I have no more answers than you do. He definitely didn't die in that attack but other then that… I don't know."

"How's everyone hold up?"

Tarble said back "Bulma and her helpers are in the surgery ICU station dealing with our Imperial tag along. By the sounds of it its quite serious and the three of them are going to be busy for a while."

"Well, I have some good news for you, your people have survived."

Tarble grinned at that "Good to hear. Much better then hearing the news that my people survived because Kakarrot sucks. So, what are we going to do with the Imperial? Because I favor the airlock, but I doubt that you'll be into that."

"Well Bulma right now is desperately trying to save that girl's life. It would be rather stupid just to kill her. We have no Videl right now, so she's our best bet to know what the Empire is going to do next."

Tarble still grinning "Oh, I love gambling with our skins. It always a hell of a lot more interesting than playing it safe."

"Well when has any of us played it safe. We keep getting knocked down, but we keep getting back up. It's a safe bet that were just too damn stupid to just lay down and die."

Tarble nodded his head "I hear that. Motto of my kind."

Chi-Chi sighed "I noticed."

Tarble sighed "Well then where? As much as I would like to meet back with the others. It highly likely that the Empire will just wipeout that planet too. There's always an uninhabited planet but that would be hiding, and I get the feeling we're well past that." (Chi-Chi nodded in agreement.) "Wait… You know how stupid that idea is right? The MO is looking for us. A majority of your people, you know are brainwashed proles? And won't hesitate to turn us in."

"It doesn't have to be an Earth colony. Bill told me that a ton of slave world were given over to the former slaves who made their own governments."

"All fiercely loyal to the Empire for freeing them, organizing their militias, setting up their governments and rebuilding them."

"Yes, but what about the worlds that consider themselves allies and not former slave worlds like Mandalore."

"Mandalore? Why?"

"Dr. Briefs had an informant in the highest levels of the Empire. That was the only way for them to know where we were. That means there is a chance that we can help stage an uprising. Gohan is alive I just know it and I think it has something to do with the Kais. But I'm not going to sit and wait for divine intervention. Their hast to be millions of billions on that side that know what they are doing is wrong. For far too long I been to focus on the man but what about the Empire? He relies on his people. He rules them with fear and terror."

Tarble interrupting "Except for the people he rules with prizes and loyalty."

"True, but I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about the people that hate him, that fear him, that wish every night for a government that doesn't murder billions and eats people live on television. If we can rally them, maybe then we can do something."

"Something huh? That's um… well better then what I got." (He had put his hands up in a shrug.) "You know there is a good chance that Kakarrot will predict this move. Hell, there's a chance that the informant is just a double agent looking to trap us. He knows you can just 'poof' away and he's a clever son-a-bitch."

"Believe me I know but this is our only play at the moment."

Tarble he mocking says "I always wanted to be a revolutionary. Well fortune favors the bold. Viva la Revolution."

"Great now, I'll try comfort Mai. She did just lose someone very important afterall."

Romulus's eyes slammed open he found himself breathing. He didn't think that he would be breathing.

A very familiar and hated voice said, "Well look who's up?"

Romulus realized who it was and where he was. He was in a sterile white room in one of the medbay of an Imperial Supercarrier. A sheet was over him, but he was naked underneath. He as quickly as he could sat up even if it hurt. To look at her.

Livy was looking at him and she was their smiling her cruel smile at him. In her hands was Bill's letter to Gohan that she must have been reading. Her blue eyes he figures one day would become lines like a snake's to better reflect who she really was.

"How's Remus?'

Livy smiled wider like the Chester cat no even being subtle "I knew that would be your first question."

Romulus snarled "Well?"

Livy was fainting concern with a far shorter voice "Oh I hate to tell you this but…" (she paused the began with a far more thud of a voice.) "He's alive and well. He's actually was in better shape then you." She took great pleasure in dragging that out that.

Romulus hissed "I should have known he would be fine. Why are you here then?"

She returned to her issolent softer voice "Husband, I can as soon as I heard you might be dying but here you are."

He turned his refusing to look at her "Glad to disappoint you."

"Glad. No, I'm overjoyed that your carrion is still breathing. After all, what would I do the moment your no longer second to the throne, especially considering how well you've done to handle Gohan and the Resistance."

Romulus sighed "Always a pleasure. If you've come to chide me save it."

"Chide? While admittedly you are a small boy deserving of it but no. I've come to inform you that Father has placed me in charge of the hunt for the Resistance and placing you under me." She said with a lot of pleasure.

"I suppose the tales of father's cruelty where not without a great deal of truth behind them."

"Three fuck ups in a row is more than generous brother. If anything, it shows our father is far too forgiving. But enough about that, why did you keep this letter?"

Romulus was unfazed by this question "Because I did what of it?"

"A letter from a dead traitor to our brother that you deemed necessary to keep on your person. Forgive me brother but I've never known you to be very sentimental. You don't even keep a picture of your mother despite how much you used to need her to kiss your boobos and tell you that you would be at me and Remus level one day."

"So, what I'm not calling Yurin enough?"

Livy snickered "No. I just find this latest version of you interesting. You always get on these 'oh poor me' binges times like this. Are you crying that our other brother has a dad that sympathetic or simply angry about it I wonder?"

"I guess I'm going to leave you wondering."

"Don't worry I are ready know the answer just by looking at you. The demon bitch been making more requests of us. The MO has been searching for artifacts across the stars. My friends tell me she isn't look to be another one of his wives but who knows."

"You must spend your entire day with either men or your friends are you that insecure?"

"This is a game you idiot, a game you can't lose and live. Everyone a threat to me and you should be worried too. She gave him access to powers he couldn't dream of. Even with our laws if they are compatible maybe his demon child you be better than his human ones? We already have a thousand or so siblings that will all be vying for the throne but at least they're from human mothers. This creature if it comes to be, will have her sorcerer powers."

"For someone so obsessed by her own greatness you certainly seem nervous about this. Maybe you're not as strong as you think you are?"

Livy somehow became colder then and said "One day I'm going to need a child to prove that I'm the future of this Empire. It'll have green hair and three eyes whether you want it too or not and I prefer not." She said with a hiss and a predator grin.

She tossed the paper onto the bed at his feet then marched off leaving Romulus alone in his room.

Mai sighed "Well if it's our only option." She said at her crutch beside her feet. Her eyes were still puffy.

She was in the conference room with the UNIT agents, Tarble, Chi-Chi, Dr. Briefs, Bulma and Trunks. Tarble was relaxing on a couch. While the rest of them were standing looking very tense.

Tarble shrugged "Me and Chi-Chi already talked it over and we don't see another way."

Bulma scoffed "This sounds insane my dad just managed to loss them and you want us to go right at him."

Chi-Chi interjected "Not at him his people. Doc has confirmed it. We have a chance to disrupt the system."

The doctor included "I know your all beaten up, but I do have a man in the Empire. Due to the nature of this relationship however, I don't know who he is. I know he's a Grand Admiral and that he has access at times to MO secrets but for reasons that must be obvious he is not eager to share much else. I can tell you, that what he's giving has been right more often than not. He is no double agent. The times he has saved the entirety of the Resistance cannot be counted."

Bulma questioned her father "How do we meet somebody we don't know?"

Dr. Briefs "I'll find a way."

Trunks aggravated asked them "What about our guest?"

Mai "We can't kill her. No matter how foul we feel about the situation right now."

Bulma "She won't be able to do anything for a time."

Chi-Chi seemed to order them "Well guard her and since Trunks is so impatient with this, he gets first shift. Mai. Doc and our UNIT friends will get us a meeting with this Grand Admiral. Bulma how is Jaco doing?"

Bulma "I fixed him up okay but like the Imperial he won't be getting up for a while. My sister is refusing to leave his side."

Chi-Chi "Nor should we ask her. We need to get to Mandalore and we need to stop them before they place their jack boots down on the throat of the rest of the universe."

Tarble grinned at that and said "Aye, Aye Captain."

Gohan and Videl found themselves on an alien world of green grass and purple skies.

Videl said while looking around "A planet that has moons and light yet I'm not seeing any sun around here."

Gohan nodded "No I'm not either. I was sending us to my mother but I can't sense her."

Videl asked with a bit of trepidation "We're not dead, are we?"

Gohan said like if his words were something a normal person would say "No King Kai said we'd face King Yemma. No this is different but the way this light that comes out of nowhere reminds me of his planet. I think we're in the otherworld."

Videl collapsed but was quickly caught by Gohan. Gohan "They really messed you up." He said with a mix of worry and sadness.

"Oh, its nothing just some broken bones and knife wounds. I've had worst" (She grinned.) "But I suppose I need a doctor." She had said in a way that Gohan wasn't sure of it's sarcastic status.

Gohan grinned back "I guess you're lucky that Bulma was teaching me medic."

Videl blushed a bit "Well I guess your hired considering the situation."

He itched the sided of his face and said "Yeah." Gohan pick her up and carried her to a barren rock outcropping.

As they landed with a far more sullen expression as she said "I'm sorry about your dad Gohan."

Gohan sighed and looked away "I don't know if I want talk about that right now. I'd rather focus on you."

Videl nodded "Yeah I get that. Alright let's change the subject." (She open up some of her broken armor slowly as it hurt a lot. She was still bleeding quite a bit and handed him a blood-stained capsule.) "Medical supplies. Enough bandages and equipment for a squad."

He tossed it and it the crate of supplies appeared. He was going threw it as she applied what pressure she could on her wounds.

She said weakly "Hey, Gohan I don't want to get you worried but I'm feeling a little lightheaded."

He came with an arm full of materials. He looked a hell of a lot more nervous now as soon as she said those words which she instantly regretted.

His voice cracked a bit as he said/asked "I'm going to have to remove some of your armor?" Videl nodded in agreement. It'll hurt like hell, but it needed to be done.

Videl smiled a bit "We might as well talk so you won't feel as awkward when staring at my breasts."

Gohan blushed and cringed at that "I wasn't going to."

She smirked "I know but it got you thinking about me instead of freaking out about my blood. and your dad, so I figured I'd go with that."

"Okay, so making this more awkward will help?"

"It'll make you less tense."

"Well then while I'm fixing you up…was that just a plan or a scheme on the ship when you were like seducing me right?"

Videl "Oh it was a plan, but I wasn't really faking anything if that's what you're asking?"

"Wait what do you mean by that?"

Videl "Well it's as I said. I wasn't thinking of anyone else when I was getting myself all hot and bothered. Even for the guys I normally go for a night don't have your sort of amazing lookw."

Gohan smiled "Well that's good to know?"

"My turn. I realize I'm like one of the only women you've ever meet that wasn't a relative or close enough to that, but why is it that every time I look at you, I get the feeling that your imagining a house and a kid. Not that I think, you're not thinking about the fun part to make that kid but why is that not where that fantasy ends?"

"Well I… I aw." He just had nothing to reply with.

"I'm kind of consider nobility but you didn't know or care about that. I'm a fun night but even to my own kind my scars are a little too much. You must know that I'm a murderer Gohan. Nor are you even the tenth guy that wanted and got that night with me, so why me?"

"Because I like those scars! You did wrong but all of this has proven you're a better person then you make yourself out to be. Those other guys don't matter. Your scars are you. You know how to fight. I like that. Your pushy and I like that. I knew I was being tricked on the ship but I kind of liked that you were tricking me. You're a warrior and that's what I want."

He said as the last of the bandages were being place onto Videl. His hand and arms were covered in blood. They were staring into each other's eyes. Gohan's blood felt like it was boiling, her smell was everywhere and it was beckoning him.

Videl grinned at him and nodded. He slammed down onto her face and into a kiss. His tail made itself known as it wrapped itself around her right leg while his hands cupped her face. He pulled away from her face and then spied her shoulder. With one hand she pulled his from one of her breasts and led it down her. Gohan with his mouth lick and nipped at her shoulder until he found the spot that he wanted.

Videl got hand to finger her as he started to bite her lightly. She moans and was quick to remove his fingers as she wanted a lot more than them. She and him both removed his belt. She moaned a bit a nearly gave it a double take wondering to herself whether if it would even fit. It was in, in seconds as Gohan bite down harder on her shoulder.

Twenty minutes later the two were exhausted at each other side.

Through his panting said, "So aw yeah."

Videl was panting "I an hour or two we can do some more."

Gohan smiling but dazed "Sounds amazing."

Two figures appeared right in front of them. One was a short purple man with pointed ears and white hair. The other was a large red man with the same kind of pointed ears with white hair. Both had on a sort of uniform merely colored the same as their skin color. They also were wearing earrings. The two of them looked quite formal.

Gohan was quick to cover himself, but Videl was merely raising herself up to look at the Kais.

The two had appeared to be arguing and were not looking in either of their direction. "Kibito I don't know why your so concerned about them being here. Whis might not have wanted to help but we need this boy to help us save the universe. Once we train him then we can go back to such rules but until then I do see how…" (The two of them turned to see both Gohan and Videl.) "Well…" The supreme kai looked mortified his cheeks had turned bright red and so was Gohan while Videl looked merely aggravated.

Kibito at first was shocked but then uttered "Told you so." Take this as some sort of victory of him being right.
