Chapter 5
Vegeta entered the large banquet hall. It was already busy. Good. Then maybe I can talk to everyone I need to and sneak out early, he thought to himself. He grabbed a glass of wine off the table and headed over to where his father was mingling.
"My son!" the King greeted, waving him over. He was surrounded by several of the council members that were present in the meeting earlier. "Did you have the chance to speak with Bardock about that alloy metal you discovered?"
"I did, father. He thinks it was a brilliant find. It can definitely be used to our advantage, though he's not sure what he wants to do with it yet," Vegeta replied. "He suggested I leave in the morning to retrieve the rest from that planet."
"But you just got back," his father objected. "Why not send Kakarrot or one of the others out to retrieve it. I'd much rather have you around here. As you yourself mentioned, there is much to be done here."
"That is true, father, but I would feel more confident going and retrieving it myself. It was me who found it in the first place. The others may miss it," Vegeta said trying to think up any excuse he could find to justify being able to go. "I will only be gone 2 weeks or so. Then once I have taken it all, I shall purge the rest of the planet. There should still be plenty of time before Lord Frieza arrives as well."
"Hmmn. That is true," the king nodded. "Very well, then. If you wish to go, you may. But hurry back. We still have much to figure out with storing those weapons and to prepare for Frieza's visit."
"I won't be long, father," Vegeta said. "I will bring Kakarrot with me to speed up the process. We shall leave first thing tomorrow."
"Sounds good, my son. Enjoy the evening then!" The king said, raising his glass to him and taking a sip.
Vegeta nodded and excused himself from the council men his father had been conversing with. He needed to find that fool Kakarott and inform of tomorrows departure. Maybe they could even leave tonight? Just as he had suspected, he found him near the back of the room by the generous buffet table filling his face. Vegeta rolled his eyes and walked up to him.
"Oh. Hey, Vegeta!" he greeted between mouthfuls. "This is the best buffet I think they've ever made!"
"You say that at every banquet." Vegeta said, dryly, grabbing a plate and a few things for himself.
"Maybe, but I definitely think this one is one of the better ones." Kakarott said with a shrug and continued to eat as though he hadn't eaten in days.
"Well, enjoy it. We leave tomorrow." Vegeta said.
"Where are we going?" Kakarott asked, actually pausing from his food to look at Vegeta.
Vegeta glared at him.
"Ohhh! We're going back to that tavern to visit Bulma?" He asked with a grin. He knew Vegeta would want to go back. He was glad!
"Who's Bulma?" Asia asked, waltzing up to the two Saiyans.
Vegeta and Kakarott turned and looked at the Saiyan female before them. She looked absolutely stunning! Her makeup was flawless and simple yet not overdone, showing off her high cheekbones and full lips. Her thick, dark hair was upswept around her face and flowed femininely over her right shoulder in large loose curls. Her dress was bright red chiffon with a dramatic plunging neckline down past her navel. Beneath, you could tell she was wearing a small pair of red underwear underneath to cover the essentials. The dress had a slit from the middle where it connected to the navel and flared out in an "A" line style to the ground. It perfectly accentuated her ample cleavage and ideal hourglass figure, not leaving much to the imagination.
Vegeta glared and looked her up and down. "That is none of your business. What do you want?"
Asia ignored his harsh tone. "I only wanted to dance with you."
"I do not dance. Ever. You should know that by now; and if I did, why would I dance with you?" he asked with distaste.
"Well, seeing as we are going to be the future king and queen, wouldn't it be nice if we danced a few songs? You know, for morale and all. There are a lot of people here tonight. It would look good." she said, slipping her hand under Vegeta's arm.
Vegeta backed away and out of her grasp. "I thought I made myself clear to you already. I will not mate with you. You will never be my queen," he growled through gritted teeth trying to contain his rage at the audacity of this female. What was it going to take for her to leave him alone? "And I would not disgrace myself by taking a queen who dresses as one of the common palace whores." he added, turning away from her completely and grabbing another drink.
Asia looked at him, stung by his words. She had spent a lot on this dress; all in the hopes of getting him to finally notice her. She knew she looked gorgeous. Half the Elite soldiers were drooling over her since the moment she entered the banquet room.
"But you'll go and travel half way across the galaxy to visit some tavern whore?" Asia asked, eyes blazing in anger. How dare he treat her with such disrespect!
Vegeta rolled his eyes and took a long deep breath in an effort to calm his rage. He shot Kakrott a death glare. He always had to talk so loud! "That is none of your concern and has nothing to do with you."
"Seeing as you are my mate-to-be, I think it is my concern." she stubbornly continued.
"Alright, if you must know," Vegeta said with a heavy sigh, silently praying to whatever gods there were out there, if there were any to begin with, that he wouldn't blast this girl in front of him in front of half the kingdom. "I discovered a very rare product on the planet we just purged. I showed Bardock a sample and he would like for me to retrieve the rest of it before it is discovered by someone else. On our travels, we happened to cross paths with a brilliant scientist who may have the knowledge to be able to help us with our issue of transporting weapons." Vegeta explained, sounding bored.
Asia thought for a second. It sounded innocent enough, but she wasn't dumb. "Well, she can't be that brilliant if she's at a tavern, now is she? And why were you at a tavern anyway?"
"It is none of your concern!" Vegeta growled again through gritted teeth. "You have no claim to me as I have absolutely none to you. You can go and do whatever the hell you want with whomever you want and I wouldn't care less; as should it be to you when it comes to me and my private affairs."
"Mates don't-" Asia started to argue.
"We are not mates!" Vegeta spat viciously. "Nor will we ever be mates. Get it through that thick head of yours! I don't know where you got that idea from because I am well aware I have never indicated that I was interested in any such union with you." he said, gulping down the last of his wine and walking away in a huff. He had to leave now before he hurt someone or broke something.
Kakarott was going to follow Vegeta to find out when exactly he wanted to leave when Asia grabbed his arm. "Is she really a scientist?" she asked.
"Ummm I think so," Kakarott said, shrugging. He really didn't want to be in the middle of this. He didn't even like Asia; she always made him feel really uncomfortable. "I didn't really get a chance to talk to her, it was Vegeta that did and he said she was really smart."
"Is she pretty?" Asia asked.
Kakarott started to giggle nervously and scratch the back of his head, not knowing what to say or how to diffuse the situation. "I guess. She's an alien. So I don't know. Maybe? She kinda looks like a Saiyan I guess. Just she has blue hair and no tail, from what I could tell."
Asia thought for a second. So was that it? Was she not exotic enough for him? "And you guys are bringing her back here."
"Uh huh. Vegeta thinks she can help. Or something. That's what he said," Kakarott nodded, seeing Vegeta at the door and glaring at him. "I have to go." he said, walking as fast as he could, away from Asia.
Asia watched the two Saiyans leave. She was not happy. Not happy at all. This evening hadn't turned out at all like she had planned. She had been hoping that when Vegeta saw her tonight that he wouldn't be able to take his eyes (or hands) off of her. She had fantasized about it all afternoon while she was getting ready: They would dance all night together, share a few kisses and maybe if she had played her cards right all evening and she was lucky, just maybe he would bring her back to his rooms and finally claim her as his. She hadn't been at the banquet at all long when all of that came to a crashing halt as soon as she overheard his conversation with Kakarott.
So, he's infatuated with another, she thought angrily; her eyes burning in an effort to keep back her angry tears. How did this happen?! She'd spent well over a year trying to gain his affections, and here some blue-haired whore apparently had won him over in one night! No, she wasn't going to give him up that easily; but what was she going to do?
She came to the decision to let the King in on this little side quest of Vegeta's. And when this so-called "scientist" arrives, she would be letting her know who Prince Vegeta really belonged to. In the meantime, who was also with Vegeta on that mission? That's right, Raditz and Nappa, she thought with a smirk, and as luck would have it they were both here tonight.
Nappa scared her, and she knew Raditz was easily manipulated by beautiful women. He had quite the reputation around the kingdom for his many conquests. Raditz it is then. This should be easy, she smirked and headed off into his direction. She needed to get as much ammunition as possible before going to the King.
"Why were you talking with that wench?" Vegeta seethed as they left the banquet hall. He could not even express how much he hated her.
"It's not like I wanted to stay and talk to her. She grabbed my arm and wanted to know about Bulma." Kakarrot whined.
"So you should have thrown her into the nearest wall and blasted her into the next dimension! No, the one after that so she'd have no chance of ever making it out again! Audience and consequences be damned!" Vegeta growled. He wished he'd have done that; but it was too complicated seeing as his father seemed to like her and her father was a council member. "What did you tell her?"
"Nothing. She wanted to know if Bulma actually was a scientist and I said I didn't know because I don't know and then she asked me if she was pretty and I also said I didn't know because she was an alien with blue hair and no tail but still kinda looks like a Saiyan." Kakarott explained, proudly, thinking he had done a good job.
Vegeta sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose and let out a heavy sigh. Why was he constantly surrounded by idiots? "Even that was too much information."
"Well you're the one that said she was a scientist and that we were bringing her back," Kakarott argued. "So technically it was you who told her since I only heard about it then. I just repeated what I heard you say."
"Well, I had no choice because you, as usual, have to talk so damned loud that I'm sure half the kingdom now knows that we are going to pick up a blue-haired scientist. If you would have kept your voice down in the first place, she wouldn't have known now, would she?" Vegeta seethed.
"Hey, Vegeta I'm sorry, but I couldn't help it that I was actually glad you decided to go back for her; no matter what the reasons were." Kakarott said defensively. "Is that the reason why we are going back for her or is that just what you told Asia?"
"Of course it's the reason! Your father knows all about it. Why else would I bother myself to go and pick up some random tavern wench? Do you think she'd go with anyone else?" Vegeta said, getting frustrated. Too many people were getting involved with this.
"And does your father know?" Kakarott asked. He couldn't believe his father was in on this before Vegeta had even told him.
"No. He doesn't need to know right now. All he needs to know is that we are going back to that planet to gather the rest of that alloy crap. We will swing by on our way back and pick her up. I'll deal with my father later when we return."
"Alright," Kakarott sighed. This sounded like it was going to get complicated. No matter what, though, he'd always stick by Vegeta. The two of them had practically grown up together. Seven years in Frieza's service together had bonded the two young Saiyan men closer than even brothers. "What if Asia tells your father?"
Vegeta paused and thought about that for a second. "Whatever. Let her tell him." He shrugged and continued down the hallway. He really didn't want to think about her anymore. "Get your things. We will leave in an hour."
"Alright. I'm going to pop in really quick to see my father and I'll meet you at the shipping dock." Kakrott agreed.
Vegeta nodded and the two Saiyans parted ways.
Kakarott entered his father's lab in the science wing of the palace. He always knew he could find him there, ever since he was young.
"Hi, father!" He greeted, walking up to his father who was looking intently into a microscope.
"Hello, son," Bardock replied, not looking away from his work. "How was your mission?"
"It was fine. I'm actually heading out again tonight with Vegeta." Kakarott said, scratching the back of his head.
"Yes. Are you going to retrieve that scientist and bring me back more of this alloy metal? It's a remarkable material." Bardock said, pushing his microscope away for the second time that evening.
"Yea. We are leaving in an hour." he said nodding.
"So, tell me about this scientist," Bardock said with a sly smile. "Is she beautiful?"
Kakarott chuckled. "What makes you ask that?"
"Just with how vague Vegeta was." Bardock replied shaking his head, remembering how embarrassed the young Prince seemed even mentioning her.
Kakarott laughed. "Yeah, he's not saying much where she's concerned. I wasn't sure at first, but after the last week and how he's been acting, I'm pretty sure he's smitten with her. I couldn't blame him. She was very beautiful."
"So she is beautiful. Heh. Figures." Bardock said with a grin. "How did you guys happen to come across her?"
"Well, Vegeta didn't want to go on the last mission. He thought it was a waste of time. So he made a deal with Nappa, Raditz and I to reward us if we helped him purge this planet in record time so he could return here to train," Kakarott explained. "I didn't really have a preference, but Raditz and Nappa wanted to go to a tavern and party all night, so when we did as he asked, he held his end and took us out for an evening on him. We got to this tavern on the way home on Planet Vegas that Nappa said was the "best" and not long after we got there, this beautiful blue-haired girl was dancing on stage. She really caught Vegeta's attention. Anyway, Raditz and Nappa thought it was funny since Vegeta usually has no use for women, especially women in places like that so Raditz bought her for him for the evening."
Bardock shook his head. He didn't know where his older son got that promiscuous streak from. It wasn't from him. And it most certainly wasn't his mate, Penelope. "I'm sure that went over real well with the Prince." He said with a sigh. Trust his son.
"Oh, Vegeta was pretty mad. But that's not even the half of it. Apparently, this girl hasn't been there very long but doesn't do private dances or that other stuff," Kakarott explained, feeling embarrassed. "So, Raditz had to pay like double to get the manager to even agree to it. Yea, Vegeta was mad, but surprisingly went along with it anyway and he was gone with her for hours."
Bardock grinned again. "Did they…?"
"No." Kakarott said, shaking his head. "She was very beautiful. And I know there was an attraction there. But I'm fairly certain nothing happened. Raditz and Nappa think he did because he was gone so long, but they would think that."
Bardock nodded. He knew the Prince well. He was too controlled to do something so careless; especially if he actually liked the girl, which he suspected. "And she's smart?"
"I don't know. She was really mad at Vegeta when she first met him because he insulted her I think. I don't really remember. They had these amazing noodles and meat dish there and I was kind of focused on that."
Bardock rolled his eyes. It figures. He thought to himself. Only his son would be more interested in food than a tavern full of beautiful women.
"So they argued a bit and he went with her. And that's all I really know about her. I didn't even know she was a scientist until Vegeta told Asia."
"He told Asia about this?" Bardock asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, he didn't want to, but when he said he that we were going back, I was really excited and said it too loud and didn't notice her coming up to Vegeta and she heard about it. Oopse?" Kakarott mumbled, getting the same look from his father that Vegeta had given him earlier that evening.
Bardock sighed, knowing that if Asia knew about this, it was going to get really ugly real fast. "Nice going, son. Well, let me handle things here. You and Vegeta concentrate on retrieving this scientist and that alloy material."
"Alright. We shouldn't be too long." Kakarott nodded starting to head out and get ready to leave again.
"Tell Vegeta to pick up the girl first," Bardock called out to his son. "Ask him to ask her if she has any of these "capsule" things on her and use them to store the material on the way back."
"What things?" Kakarott asked, already confused. "What are capsules?"
"Nevermind. Just tell Vegeta to pick her up first to see if she can use that technology to bring the alloy home as a test. If she can't because she doesn't have it with her, that's okay. She can make them here. I was just hoping for a demonstration when she got here."
"Okay. I'll let Vegeta know." Kakarott nodded. "Bye, Father!"
"Goodbye, son." Bardock called out, grabbing his microscope again. He really hoped this girl was worth all this trouble.
Vegeta and Kakarott met at the same time at the ship dock. Their ship just needed to be refueled, which Vegeta had someone do already, so they were ready to go.
"Did you tell your father that we were leaving early?" Kakarott asked once they were inside the ship.
"I left him a message in his office. I told him that I didn't want to delay my return any further." Vegeta replied with a smirk.
With that, they started up the ship and blasted off the planet, leaving the planet Vegeta-sei behind them.
"Oh yeah, my father said we should get her first and see if she can use her technology to bring back that stuff we are getting." Kakarott said, trying to remember exactly what his father had said to him.
"Fool. You didn't think I hadn't thought of that already myself?" Vegeta said with a laugh.
"I didn't know. At dinner you said we would get her after."
"Well, we are getting her first." Vegeta said, setting the coordinates for auto pilot. They would be there in exactly one week.
"So, are you nervous?" Kakarott asked.
"Why would I be nervous?" Vegeta asked with a frown, setting the final coordinates to autopilot.
"To see Bulma."
"No." Vegeta replied, getting annoyed that he could feel his ears turning red. In truth, he was nervous. He wasn't sure what he was going to say to the woman. He had told her he wasn't coming back. What if she wasn't even there anymore? He didn't know how much money she would need to free herself, but he knew he had given her a good head start. It would take them about a week to get to her, so that's two weeks. What if she made enough by then to pay them out? Or what if someone else had come along and bought her instead? What if she was mad at him? He didn't know. He just figured that he'd know exactly what to say to once he saw her; and hopefully she would be happy to see him. Hmmph. She'd better be glad to see me! He thought with a smirk.
