The Commodore in his bridge was pacing back and forth while the men below him continued to studiously work. He was a small man very slight, and skinny. And at this moment he was tense. The space station they were on was high above Mandolore. It was a massive structure made to build ships and shield the planet. The Commodore was pacing because he was well aware of Cyan's arrival.

Commodore to his com officer "So any request of my presence?"

"No my Lord, the Grand Admiral has not requested your presence. However, Grand Admiral Byzantine has been requesting a visit to the planet. I approved it of course but Princess Livy rejected it."

Commodore nervous barked "Well you should have cleared it with her first."

"Sorry Lord but I had no idea that I required the Princess's approval for a Grand Admiral's movements."

"Well normally you don't but we are a week from now the Grand Offensive is going to start. Billions are going to go off to glory." He thought to himself, 'If I can impress the Grand Admiral, I might just be a part of that glory as opposed to being left on guard duty.'

Coms officer tapped his ear "Lord we have an unscheduled ship approaching the planet."

Commodore to another one of his officers "Can we get a visual?"

An Imperial transport ship appeared on their screens. "Interesting do they have code clearance?"

"Yes Lord. It's an older code but it checks out."

"Hail them, whatever going on is important and I don't want any slip ups on our end."

On the screen in from of them appeared a pilot in gear.

Commodore said top the person "Shuttle Tietyrion your codes have check out, but you are unscheduled for this sector. I demand an explanation for your presence here."

A heavy filter voice came from the pilot "My Lord we are here at the request of the Grand Admiral."

Commodore very suspicious "Is that so? Why is your cargo unlisted?"

"By order of the Grand Admiral the cargo of this ship is classified."

Commodore asked "Surely the Grand Admiral would have informed me of this?" (To his first officer.) "Engage the tractor beams and prepare a boarding party."

Coms officer spoke up "Lord we just received a message from the Grand Admiral. He asked that there would be no delay in his transport's arrival."

Commodore was still suspicious but barked out "Cancel that last order! Open the protective screens and allow the ship to land."

The images cutout and the ship made its way to the planet.

Mai took off the pilot helmet "Man that was a close one." She got out of the seat and let Bulma take control again. Chi-Chi, Tarble, the UNIT agents and Dr. Brief was there.

Bulma giggled "I'd new it'd work."

Mai sighed "I'm just glad they didn't ask me to take my helmet off."

Chi-Chi interjected "I'm just surprised that they didn't learn about ship being stolen."

Bulma smiled "That's what happens when you doubt me, you get disappointed."

Tarble reminded them "We're not out of the woods yet but thanks to Bulma we do have a shot."

Dr. Briefs "My source told me he was going to meet us on the planet."

Tarble nodded "He must have called off the watch dogs."

Bulma "Now we get to see if your acting is up to par."

Tarble sighed and nodded "Yeah I'm honesty curious about that myself. But don't you worry I've got a good impression of my brother ready to go."

Chi-Chi "Let's get dressed."

The ship landed as in the large bay stormtroopers, and officers came out to stand in attention. The ramp came down and a cadre of minor officer came to greet the visitors. Tarble walked out first wearing an Imperial version of Saiyan armor in dark red with black secondary. On his face was a look of disgust.

Emerging behind him was a single file line of five bloodguards they all had staffs. They were quickly followed by Mai who had on a black officer's uniform with an eye-patch over her right eye. She had on blood red lip stick and heavy black eyeliner. She was carrying herself like she was a pissed Bulma with a hand on her hip and a cigarette in her mouth.

Behind Mai was Bulma. She looked far less sure of herself then she normally was. She had no makeup on. She was wearing glasses and was carrying luggage. Her hair was tied up and messy. She was in a brown uniform very thing about her screamed beat down attendant.

The moment that the Imperial's saw Tarble and his tail their hand went straight to heiling.

Mai yelled out "Gentleman you have the honor to be in the presence of prince Lucius Gero."

They yelled out 'seig heil' Tarble in a snarled at them and yelled "Go Fuck yourselves! I've been struck in that crap transport for too long. Mom I'm bored when do I get to kill things?"

Mai chuckled in her deep but fake voice "Soon my Prince." (She walked up to the lead officer blew smoke in his face.) "I'm sure Captain that that the Grand Admiral requested us to go straight to him?"

He gentle coughed from the smoke "Yes madame. I would be more than happy to give you an escort."

Mai hissed "No Captain that would not make me happy as I don't anything you could give me would make me happy." (She blew more smoke into his face.) "I don't want to be bothered by any of your men or women for that matter."

She walked past him with the others following. The captain was left there a bit dumbstruck and annoyed. One of his fellow officers came out to him and whispered into his ear "Aren't their supposed to be seven guardsmen? Not five?"

Captain "There are. The other two are dead. The bulletin said to be alert for Resistance attacks. Though I can see why someone might want to kill those two."

The group made it out of the hangar and came to a turbo-lift where they were now lone. The group collectively sighed in relief.

Erasa definitely in one of the suits "Good work you three. Mai your complete bitch officer was amazing…"

Mai smirked evilly "Yah it actually felt really good to verbally smack that guy around."

Continuing Erasa said "Tarble I can see that you have a lot of dealings with up their own ass royal"

Tarble devilishly grinned "Runs in the family."

Erasa then said "Bulma I'm going to need more desperation. You an attendant and an old one at that too. You need to seem more like you're willing to 'do anything' for advancement. You've seen yuppies in your dad's company."

"I'm not old I'm merely in my 50's that's the new 30's and why do I have to be bitch girl shouldn't I have been in one of those suits?"

Erasa sniped "As I said. You need at least a token amount of strength to use these suits besides it would make no sense if a consort and a prince were to arrive without bloodguard and with just officers alone."

Trunks in a high pitch voice "Believe me mom you don't want to be in one of these. It might not bother you but it's quite tight in the crotch region." The UNIT agents nodded in agreement.

Chi-Chi whimpered "The tightness in the chest region is kind of painfully too."

Erasa sighed "You're just not used to armor like I am, but I must admit its tighter than my commando gear."

Mai said exhausted "Can everyone stop complaining we're almost at the roof. Dr. Briefs said that instead of the Citadel the Grand Admiral will be with the Mandolore the Prince and the ambassador."

Trunks in his slightly higher pitched voice but still trying to sound cool "The leader of this planet sure has a stupid name. It would be like if we called our leader Earth or something."

Mai shrugged "Hey I didn't think of the name. This was thought of long ago in a galaxy far far away. They do say they might be from a different universe, so I had no input. Now everyone shut up."

The door dinged and it open. They were on the roof of the massive skyscraper. They go to the edge. They were high above a massive city. It was filled with fly cars. The number of lights was blinding.

Chi-Chi "Maybe we should have gotten directions?"

Bulma "Nah my dad already gave me them."

Trunks "Well mom I guess I'll carry you."

Bulma blushed "Nah, I'd like it if Tarble were to carry me."

Tarble shrugged and signaled for her to hop on. Bulma got into Tarble's arms and Mai into Chi-Chi's arms. All of them flew into the air going for the Palace off into the distance.

Videl awoke with a yawn. She immediately itched her shoulder as she got up to see Gohan still just sitting there as the Elder Kai was sleeping while sitting their pointing his hands at him. It had felt like days since off of this started she thought.

Gohan eyes went to her and all she did was give in a shrug. All of this had been embarrassing and lounging around hadn't helped. Gohan turned his eyes back at the source of his frustration. A bubble had formed as the old Kai slept.

The bubble popped and the Old Kai awoke then looked at Gohan "You're not staying focused Gohan."

Gohan visible frustrated "Sorry the sound of your snoring was distracting me."

Old Kai chuckled "I must be really getting under your skin kid. You must think that this is ridiculous."

"The thought had crossed my mind."

"Kids always think they know more than they actually do. Do you know why your sire wants my descendant dead over there?"

"No. I figured he kind of just wants all good people dead."

"He is that last of this generations Kai's. It would means that the line is cut and Beerus dies. This world will no longer have oversight and the demons and their realm can take over."

"Then why are we just sitting here?"

"We nearly have you at your maximum then we can work on you getting God ki."

Gohan jumped up and in a rage yelled "YOU MEAN THIS ISN'T EVEN GOING TO GET ME ON HIS LEVEL!" He said as he powered up and his hair didn't turn golden but is eyes greenish-blue. He looked at himself feeling his knew found power. He was league of what he had been. It was still no match for what Kakarrot had shown but he saw that the gap was closing.

Videl, Kibito and the Supreme Kai were all stunned. While Old Kai merely seemed frustrated that Gohan was kicking up dust into his face.

Gohan returned to normal as he looked at the Kai. Old Kai shook his head "Are you done having a tantrum?"

"I'm sorry." Said as he got back into a crossed legged position.

"It's okay. Your just young, stupid and in love. But you're are right on one count I really don't have much of an idea how to get you to that level. I suppose we are going to need help on that front maybe from a Saiyan?"

The team made it to the Palace the ancient, scarred thing that had seen a great deal of battle over the years.

They were quickly let in and met by a woman in silken robes. She had muscles underneath her robes. Her face was flawless with a tan to it. It was not clear of her role in this place by either her appearance or mannerism as she walked like royalty.

Cheerfully she said to them "Welcome my guests. Your friend is waiting for you." She signaled them to follow her which they did.

The walls and halls that they found themselves in were rich with alien art and artifacts. Only of few of the pieces looked at all Mandolore and appeared to have been stolen from planets the Empire and them had conquered.

Mai "I'm Queen Scarlet Gero who are you Miss…?"

She chuckled and put her had to her chest "Oh I'm Madame Lys the Mandolore's chief consort."

"Oh."

"My dear you sound a little shocked?"

"I didn't image that would you'd be so… open about that fact."

"Well unlike your Emperor mine can't have so many wives such as yourself, but he wished to emulate him, so he is forced to merely have concubines and consorts such as myself."

"I suppose my husband has truly has that kind of an effect on people."

"You have no idea. Before the King Cold PTO, we're the galaxy's best warriors. We reaved the stars. We were a great power once. Now we are again. We are even blessed with having two princes on the planet of the Emperor's blood. Commodus is Mandolore's ward after all."

They were led to a massive study where they found the Mandolore a man clad in armor. The Ambassador in red officer uniform. The sixteen-year-old Commodus with his black hair and tail was present with his bloodguard. But finally, there was Grand Admiral Cyan in his white officer uniform with his green hair, green eye and purple eye.

He was sitting there watching them with a grin on his face. In the moment he looked a lot like his father. The team was immediately taken a back.

Cyan itched his shoulder "I'm sorry everyone but I need a meeting with the Queen and her son."

There was no argument, but Commodus flashed a dirty look at Tarble as he walked passed. The door shut to the room leaving the group alone with Cyan.

Cyan smile went away "The door our soundproof you don't have to worry."

Mai immediately pointed a blaster at him "Good then they won't hear the shot."

Cyan threw his hands up "I'm you contact."

Mai "Yeah right you think we're stupid."

Cyan "I won't call it smart to kill the only man that could help you overthrow the Emperor."

Erasa she walked into Mai way "Wait Mai let's hear him out!"

Mai "I've seen this snake's father. His family is one of the reasons why there is an Empire in the first place."

Trunks joined Erasa sided he was unsure of what to do but she was afraid he might pull her out of the way.

Erasa panickily said "Videl extremely dislike him maybe it was because she sensed deceit."

Willard "He's Livy's pet, this is a trap."

Cyan teared up and yelled "I'm terrified of her! I've been her doll a plaything for so long. Her favorite plaything but toys can break and are eventually set aside. She is like her father. She eats people in front of me. She's even gotten me to eat people for her bloody pleasure. She cheats and is a jealousy woman. She paranoid and her whims are like the wind always changing. She laughed when she heard the news of my father's death in my face. Her father is a tyrant that has enslaved my people. I have firsthand seen the horror of this Empire. My reasons are indeed selfish, but they are my reasons. If things go on longer I'm afraid she'll eat me or worse."

Mai lowed her blast as Erasa said "Like I said let's hear him out. Trust me."

Cyan "I guess my sister had good taste in friends after all. Now I'm guessing Dr. Briefs is in the ship that you took?"

Mai "Yeah we figure we need someone in the ship if things went south."

Cyan "Well he can confirm that it was I that was his source. I had access to most of my dead father's information. I warned you about the latest attack and many others. I read about freedom and I want it. There was a time before all of this when my skills could have been placed elsewhere if not for the Empire and my family. I can get on a ship to Earth. I know plenty of disaffected officers that will join our cause. We poison the Emperor, seize the palace and get most of the family while their sleeping. We can get Moffs under control and declare a republic before any of them others can mobilize. It won't be a bloodless coup but much better then a civil war."

Mai and Chi-Chi looked at each other than Mai shook her head at him as she put away her blaster.

Mai "That sounds very evil."

Cyan "They're mass murders. What's a few dead babies and children against the fate of mankind? Your Gohan aside, tyrant spawn rather regularly turn into tyrants themselves when given the chance."

Bulma tilted her head "Starting a government with the stain of innocent blood on our hands doesn't sound any better."

Cyan "Look we need a plan. I need Dr. Brief for that. I don't know how many fighters from the that side we can expect and the same goes with Jaco. We're going to need UPA support as well. It'd look strange for anyone else to come from your ship today. So, I'm going to have you spend the night. Tomorrow we can get in the details right now though I know this is going to start to look suspicious if we go on any longer. I have a wing secured for you all. No one will be going there, and we can talk more rational about what needs to be done."

It was agreed and they went off to their quarters for the fast-approaching night.

It was late when Trunks came to a door to knock only to see it open and Erasa there with very little on.

Erasa "Oh. Trunks just the man I kind of want see." Said as she opened the door to let him come in.

Trunks blushed "I wanted to talk."

Erasa smirked "Oh talk."

Trunks got closer to her and said, "Maybe I'm not."

She kissed him on the lips, and he grabbed her. She easily began to disrobe him as they broke off. He began to disrobe her, and they headed to her bed.

"Thank you for not pushing me out of the way today."

"Well, I was going to do to save you, but you seemed very determined."

"It was still nice."

They were talking as they groped with one another. She slid down him to engulf him and he chirped out "Any time Erasa."

Meanwhile in his quarters Cyan got out of bed. He was wearing very little and didn't have a shirt on which showed a scar of a bite mark on his shoulder. He pressed a button on a console. He itched on his shoulders and knelt before it as a Hologram of Livy appeared before him.

Cyan grinned "My Princess everything is going as planned. They aren't sold but I'm about to have them all in one room. Soon we'll know exactly who and where our enemies are. Thought we should be glad my sister wasn't here I'm sure she would have seen right through my performance."

"Good you've done well."

"I know I will have some reinforcements, but Tarble will beat the prince in combat if it comes to that."

"Oh, my poor little doll you really think I would leave even a chance of you dying up to chance? You see grandfather just laid another 'perfect' golden egg. That has already arrived. It's a good thing that he knows how to hide his energy, or they would go running."

Cyan heard a noise behind him and saw the creature. It was tall, taller than most men and it had insect like features. He had a human like face but had yellow eyes. It was green with black dots over its exoskeleton.

"What is that thing Livy?"

It spoke with a calming but dark voice "Please not thing, my Lord call me Perfect."
