He dreamt farely well that evening but his past continued on. Within his mind he recalled when he first met Vegeta and his family and Goku had indeed proved to be the savior of his depression as a child and then the kids, no longer apprehensive around him. The little green kid with pointy ears, began to see things in him that others didn't. Especially Veg and Vega.....<br>He woke to the engines humming, he being the most sensitive eared person was the first to awaken.<br>The computer whispered in a low tone that they had entered a planets atomosphere. <i>This must be where Veg is...</i><br>"Hey Bulma, wake up. I think we're here," came Goku's insistant voice.<br>Apparently he'd areadly been awake and fully clothed, accompanied by his royal pain in the a...
"Get up boy, you're not here to sleep. Get ready, we may very well have to fight."<br>Zin rolls his eyes, mocking that snooty demand and spitting quiet obscenities. Somehow he managed to get along with Vegeta through the years, and Zin knew for a fact that Vegeta's behavior is a mask to hide his worry for Veg... Everyone knows that.<br>~~~~~~~~~~<br> She watches in wonder as a round object burned like a star in the night sky. What it is she does not know but the evident fear was there to remind her... It could be anything or anyone.<br>Poising herself on one knee and the other spread out to balance herself, she extends her right arm straight out and points an index finger in the pod's direction.<br>Bringing her free hand up, she holds an imaginary bow and arrow and waits.<br>In slow motion when in real life it only takes one half of a second, electricity sparks to life from her palms, bright tendrils flowing outward and constructing the bow first, then slowly, another second, a great arrow that burned even brighter started at her fingertips and shot forth, forming a deadly weapon.<br>And still.......she waited.....<br>After the great impact, a man emerges from the crater, but not just any man. "king Vegeta?"<br>The man's dark eyes flickered in acknowledgement and bore into her soul with little regard to her weapon.<br>"You are an imposter!," She cries as a warning. "Remain still or I'll shoot."<br>He smirked and stook a step forward, daring her to release the arrow that is so precisely aimed at his heart.<br>"My king is in the palace and yet you are here," she tells him. "How is this possible?"<br>"Simple enough," he spoke in his native tongue. "He's my son and if you weren't so blinded by his cherades you would know that in appearance he is much younger compared to myself. He is but a mere age of eight-teen. Now, before I proceed to explain myself, you WILL drop your weapon or I and my companions may have to use unecessary force against you."<br>With that said, Vega, Bulma, Goku, and Zin emerge from behind him.<br>Reluctantly, Mara releases her hold on the energy in her hands and allows it to disappate. "Tell me everything and not a word shall leave this spot."<br><font color=blue>To Be Continued... Hey, I know it's short but I'm on a tight schedule.
