Chapter Two: The Capture


Shenlong let out a less then human growl as he turned to face the voice. His golden eyes glowed dangerously as he tried to pin point the threat, though he already knew who it was.

\"Ooohhh...what on Fate...\" Mareynce groaned as she pushed a slab of stone off her, her own body had cushioned her small daughter from any debris or injury.

Shenglong quickly scanned the area, noticing his wives were all fine as well as his daughters, Natalja lay trembling in his arms, looking up at him with large sea-blue eyes. \"What\'s happening, daddy?\" she asked, feeling tears beginning to form.

Shenlong hushed her softly and pushed his youngest daughter to his wife of Birth. \"Hide her,\" he hissed and at Nettie\'s nod watched her disappear into the smoke. Shenlong then turned to his other queens and ordered them to flee as well, to hide their daughters while he found out what was going on.

Zoyerna and Mareynce obeyed scooping up their daughters and running in different directions, hoping to lose who or whatever was attacking them. Shenlogn then rose, his thin white robes ruined as they lay in tatters on his body. He squinted as the smoke began to clear and the samll armored form came into vision. The King of Fate immediently stiffened and stood t his his tail swinging back and forth angrily. \"What do you want?\" he snapped.

The small figure hovered through the smoke, the energy that surrounded him opened a pathway towards the king. \"Why, King Shenlong, you know exactly what I want?\" the small form of the youngest son of King Cold came forward, Freeza.

\"You will no have her!\" he roared and quickly formed a golden ball of energy sending it straight at Freeza.

Freeza only smiled and raise a hand, easily deflecting the orb of power right back at Shenlong, sending the young king inte wae wall behind him.

Freeza chuckled softly and wagged a finger at Shenlong as he tsked. \"Now now, Shenlong. You don\'t have a say in this, your little girl was promised to me when she reached maturity. Hmmm...if I remember correctly...Faturon females reach that point on their fourth birthday. I believe that day...is now,\" Freeza smirked and laughed.

Shenlong growled angrily, his hands clenched, but in a flash his left hand opened and formed an orb of red energy, throwing it at Freeza. The ball hit dead on, exploding on impact and giving Shenlong time to run into the smoke and find his daughters and wives. Freeza chuckled as he saw Shelnog\'s multi-colored tail disappear into the smoke before snapping his fingers and five silouettes appeared around Freeza.

\"Bring me young Princess Natalja. Be sure that anyone in your way is killed, am I understood?\" he ordered.

A gruff voice answered as the other four figures bowed. \"Of course, sire.\" Then in a flash they all disappeared.

Freeza shook his head as the smoke began to clear and he floated to settle on the rubble beneath him. \"I don\'t see why he resists. She will be mine with or without his consent,\" he smirked and disappeared into the ruins of the once beautiful castle.

************

Shenlong ran through the ruins of the castle, his senses telling him where his wives were, but each time he came across them he found a gruesome sight. He first came upon Mareynce. He gasped in horror as he ran to her side, her body bloody and battered, her gown ripped form her body, it was obvious what the assaulter had done to her body. He growled holding back his tears as he continued to search, and soon found his eldest daughter, Mare, huddled behind a boulder.

\"Mare? Come on, honey,\" he coaxed and she immediently launched herself into his arms clinging to him as he continued into the rubble.

Shenlong found his middle wife in the same condition as his third, except she had not been raped as Mareynce had been however, her body covered Zoya\'s unconcious body. Shenlong gently rolled his dead wife off his daughter and scooped her up before letting his mind loose to find Nettie and his youngest daughter, the one he HAD to find, Natalja.

A piercing scream rang through the palace and Shenlong stopped spinning around in confusion as he tried to pin point where the scream had come from. He...he couldn\'t find them. He began to panic as Mare clung to his back, her arms hugging around his neck desperately, his right arm cradling Zoya gently.

\"Nettie!! Natalja!!!\" he roared and scrambled over a hill of rubble. When he reached the top he gasped in horror. Natalja sat trembling on the ground, tears streaming down her face as she sat staring towards her mother. Nettie, the youngest queen of Fate screamed in pain as one of Freeza\'s soliders raped ehr, her tail had been ripped form her back and her arms and legs broken to keep her from moving as the grey skinned warrior groaned, climaxing into Nettie\'s body. Shenlong didn\'t think, he couldn\'t. He had just witnessed his wife\'s rape and he COULDN\'T think.

Shenlong roared and shot forward. The solider hovering over Nettie turned in time to see Shenlong\'s glowing red eyes as he readying to send an orb of red energy into the solider\'s face.

\"NNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!\" a voice shrieked as a silver light fd thd the area.

Shenlong stopped in mid attack and turned in time to see Natalja\'s body a glow in blood red energy. Her small hands joined together at her chest then opened sending a thin, dime sized ray of energy at the soldier who had just killed her mother. Just before impact the ray became the head of a dragon and roared before it engulfed the solider setting of a mammoth explosion. Shenlong and the two daughters he held were throwing into the sky. Desperately, he righted himself and hovered in the sly in shock, staring down at the area, nearly a mile vertical from where he\'d been.

Shenlong stared into the slowly clearing smoke, hoping to find his daughter unharmed. He gasped in horror at the sight before him. Where the castle had once been was now nothing but a crater and a canyon, nearly a quarter mile long stretched out from where Natalja was laying unconcious in the arms of Freeza.

Shenlong cursed angrily as she shot down and landed on front of Freeza. Mare hid behind her father gripping his dirty tatter robes as he glared at Freeza. \"Release her!\" he ordered through clenched teeth.

Freeza tsked him softly as he ran his fingers over Natalja\'s baby smooth skin. \"I think not, I have what I want,\" he smirked as he began to fly up into the sky. \"Oh, I suggest you leave the planet soon unless you wish to join your wives in the next dimension,\" he laughed as he disappeared through the clouds.

Shenlong stared after them in defeat. He couldn\'t attack, Freeza was too powerful and he\lacelace his daughter into further danger. He watched the same area a long moment before a huge orb of red and gold energy slowly came down upon Fate. Shenlong\'s eyes widened in horror. Freeza was going to destroy the entire planet...

Shenlong quickly scooped his two eldest daughters up and flew into the village, his eyes didn\'t pay attention to the carnage of the once beautiful village, only to the small temple situated in the center. When he reached the cracked walls he placed one hand on the marble wall, after a moment four large slabs of marble rose to reveal four escape pods each big enough to hold one queen and their daughter. Shenlong wasted no time in setting Mare and Zoya into two separte pods and inputting coordinates, watching them shot up into the sky and disappear. He then input coordinates on Natals pos pod and sent it flying, it would follow Freeza\'s ship until it could retrieve Natalja then take her to a peaceful planet. Once the pod had taken off he input coordinate to his own and was soon off, following his other daughters to make sure they arrived to their new destinations safely.

************

Freeza smirked as he watched the silver planet explode before his eyes, his arms crossed as the aftershock rocked the ship he stood upon. After a long moment, watching the chunks of the planet float in space before entering his ship. He walked down the long hallway to his quarters, smiling to himself as he thought of the legend the Faturons held dear.

\'It is said that every 1,000 years a faturon princess of Birth will be born. This young female will have unfathomable power that will bear her mate a child more powerful then any being created thus far.\'

Freeza chuckled as he stood before his quart \"T \"To think, once I mate her my children will be the most powerful beings in the universe.\"

Raising his hand the door to his quarters opened and he walked in, smiling down at the small tanned form of young Natalja. She lay unconcious on his bed, only clad in her tattered silver gown. He seated himself beside her and gently stroked her long evergreen hair from her face, the soft touch made her whimper in her sleep, her eyes slowly opening to find the one caressing her. Natalja immediently scrambled away, crying out in fear, her blue eyes staring fearfully at him as he slowly leant towards her.

\"Young Natalja...\" he whispered and held a hand out to her but she only scooted further from him, her entire body trembling.

Freeza smiled at the fear he saw in her eyes, but he had to win her over, if he was to get children from her he had to win her over. Scooting closer, his tslitslithered out to caress her long silver tail but again she cried out and flew from him in fear. Rolling his eyes he watched her flee from his quarters, but moment later Zarbon returned, the young princess struggling in his grasp. \"Thank you, Zarbon,\" he said as the blue skinned solider set the trembling princess back on the bed and silently left.

\"Let\'s not have that happen again,\" he said softly before reaching out and pulling her close to his body. \"Now, young Natalja...when will you be ready to mate with me?\"

Natalja\'s eyes shot open, looking up into his eyes in utter shock. \"No...I want my daddy!! I want my mommy!!!\" she screamed and struggled against him, her power level began to rise but he quickly pinned her down before she could set off any kind of uncontrolled attack.

\"Stop that, princess,\" he said softly, trying to keep his temper. \"Your mother and father are gone, I saved you...from those men that attacked you,\" he whispered but frowned as she shook her head violently.

\"No!! No, that man...he...he\'s wearing same clothes!!\" she screa sil silver tears staining her cheeks.

Freeza was becoming very irritated and growled softly. \"Natalja...you must mate with me sooner or later. I know that you know exactly what I\'m talking about,\" he whispered slipping a hand under her tattered gown. When his finges gently brushed over her virgin opening she cried out, a light forming between her legs as a coat of silver scales covered her there. Freeza looked down and tore the gown away, leaving her body bare, only to find that a layer of thick silver scales had sealed her entrance, leaving no way to mate with her unless the scales were retracted.

\"What do you think you\'re doing?!\" he demanded angrily but Natalja only stared back at him. Zarbon saw this was not going to be pretty and cleared his throat, catching Freeza‘s attention. “Sir...Faturon female are not fertile for mating until they are ten years old.” Freeza looked as though he was about to kill Zarbon but snorted as he rose off her and turned away. “Ten years of age then,” he said and turned to Zarbon. “Place her in one of the holding cells until she is ready,” he ordered. Zarbon nodded and took Natalja by the arm forcing her to follow him out of the room.
