Damn Traditions continued…

“Idiot!” screamed Parzanip letting free his fist, Buddabin went flying across the room and hit the wall. “Do you have any idea of what you have done?”

“He needed to see a healer.”

“No he didn’t, damn it! I had a feeling that he was pregnant. Why can’t you obey orders when I give them? This is a dangerous world. There are beings here that can not be trusted and you have put us all in jeopardy by what you did.” He turned sighing heavily to face the others. “We must go now. We cannot stay here. Get the ship ready for takeoff.”

The others scrambled to do as they were told; Buddabin picked himself up off the floor.

“You look after Bardock’s boy, that will be your job from now on,” ordered Parzanip.

Buddabin nodded and moved of to Kakarott’s cabin. He walked inside and saw him sitting on the bed eating something. “You seem better now.”

“I know what’s wrong with me, so I do feel better. Though it scares me to know that I am going to have a baby.” He saw the bruise forming on Buddabin’s jaw. “What happened to you?”

“Parzanip found out I took you to a healer. Apparently he already knew what was wrong with you.”

“He did?”

“Yeah and now I’m your babysitter from now on.”

“I can look after myself. I don’t need anyone caring for me.” He stood angrily. He was getting sick of everyone else making his decisions for him.

“We going home so strap in, it would be better if you lay down for takeoff. Wouldn’t want anything to happen to you,” sneered Buddabin.

Kakarott sat down angrily, but if it meant going home he’d do it. He just wanted his freedom again.

---------------------------------------------------------

The King walked into the audience room where Frieza and his entourage were waiting. He had to force himself to take a deep breath before he entered that room, he hated the white skinned lizard, but circumstances ruled that he must deal with him, or suffer the consequences. He was not going to let his world be overrun and ruled by the Icejins.

“Lord Frieza, you asked for me?”

“Yes, I have heard that your son is to be wed.”

“That is true, Lord Frieza. Vegeta has chosen a mate and we are preparing for the wedding as soon as we can.”

The lizard stared at him for long moments. You have wanted to make a deal with me since I arrived… I have a proposal for you. I will leave you to get on with the tasks you already do for me and return to my world. In return you will give me your firstborn grandchild to be raised on my world.”

The King had straightened on hearing it. “But Lord Frieza, I can’t make a deal like that.”

“Oh but you can. You rule this world and if you wish to continue to rule it you will do this. I can assure you that I have the power to destroy your world. This is all I want to leave your world in peace, accept it and I will leave only to return when you have the child for me. If you doubt me take this recording, it show the world of Megeria. They refused my deals.”

Zarbon moved up to the King and handed him a small disk.

“I will see you tomorrow to hear your answer.” Frieza floated out of the room, Zarbon and Dodoria following him.

The King slumped after Frieza left. How was he going to tell this to his son? He looked down at the disk and decided to return to his office to view it. Though he had the feeling he already knew what he would see. He hurried back and found he was not wrong. He sat there staring at nothing for quite some time.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Raditz had waited until dark to make his way home. He had made his way to the back entrance and let himself in hoping that he had not been seen. He knew his father was at home, that he had been staying home a lot since the Prince’s visit.

He found him drunk and slouched in his favorite seat. Not wanting to alarm him, he moved to him quietly and put his large hand over his father’s face covering his mouth. His father came awake immediately struggling, but gave up once he saw his son’s face grinning at him. He took his hand away.

“Bastard,” muttered Bardock.

“You are being watched, I couldn’t have you crying out for them to hear and I couldn’t have them seeing me coming in here.”

Bardock straightened in his seat, “You’ve found out something?”

“Yes, Parzanip is on his way back here. He’ll land in the High country and they’ll fly back here slowly, try to act like a squad returning from mountain training.”

Bardock sighed. “Kakarott’s with them?”

“Yes.”

Bardock detected a note of anger. “Raditz?”

His older son turned away from him. “It seems the mating with the Prince has been successful.”

“Kakarott’s pregnant!”

Raditz turned rapidly at his father’s outburst. “Damn it, Father. Tell the whole world why don’t you?”

“Shit,” muttered Bardock, but he was smiling.

“What the hell is there to be pleased about? Your grandchild will be claimed by the Elites and it’ll be trained that way. Kakarott will be lucky to see it after it’s born.”

“No. we can hide them, Parzanip already got him away from the Elites, we can keep them safe from the Elites, keep them where they belong.”

“Don’t be a fool, old man. You saw what happens when Kakarott goes into season. You had to send me away and you admitted to waiting to take him. And Vegeta knew anyway, he went into heat at the same time, proving that he had mated my brother. He cannot stay with anyone or the same frenzy will follow him when he goes into season, ands if anyone else happened to mate with him, the Prince would kill them for daring to touch what it his. Face it, Father you know this is true.”

Bardock slumped in his seat. “Then why did Parzanip take him from the Prince if there is no way out of this.”

“You can ask him that when they return. I don’t know. I’d better go; I’ll see you soon, Father.” Raditz said and he took off, back the way he had come.

Bardock sat there staring at the walls wondering if he would get to see his grandchild.

-------------------------------------------------------

The ship had managed to return home without being detected. It was now hidden deep within a cave and the crew was getting ready to leave.

Kakarott hurried over to Parzanip’s side. “So when can I see my Father?”

“We’ve had word that he is being watched. It seems he had a visit from your mate and they are watching to see if you might go there.”

“Damn it. You haven’t explained why you took me from that world. I have to let Vegeta know that I am bearing his child, I am bound to him now by this mating.”

“The group I am with is trying to make a point with the Elites. They have to see that they need the third class if our race is to survive. They need to treat us better than they do. You are living proof of this.”

“So just because I became mated to the Prince you wanted to use me?”

Parzanip could see the anger in Kakarott’s eyes there was no use in lying. “Yes.”

“I will not be used!”

“The Prince uses you.”

“I am his mate.”

“Only by accident and look where that got you. Sent off to another world so that he doesn’t have to go public with the fact that he has a third class for a mate.”

“The Elite females were there too, I heard them say it was to protect them from the Icejins. The King wanted them to be safe there. I got to train and do whatever I wanted.”

“You were a prisoner. If they catch you again you will be imprisoned again, perhaps somewhere more secure. If you help us you can help the people of your own class. They have treated us like dirt for too long; your child will prove to them that we have a need to be treated better, for we are the ones who will give them the next generation, the only ones.”

“I will speak with my Father, you will not stop me.” Kakarott moved away no longer interested in anything Parzanip had to say.

Parzanip lifted his eyes to the roof of the cave. This was not going the way he had planned.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Vegeta stood looking around at the guests at the pre wedding feast. Aspaga was surrounded by the Icejin party, though Frieza sat in his air-car looking out at the guests like he was. Vegeta knew that some kind of agreement had finally been reached between his father and the Icejins and that they would be leaving after the wedding. He had pumped his father for details, only to be brushed off. And his father never once met his eyes which meant whatever it was, he would not like it.

Frieza turned his eyes and they made contact. The lizard gave him the creeps; he didn’t know how his father dealt with him. Vegeta didn’t wan to be the first to look away, but he couldn’t stand the unblinking gaze for too long. The wedding had been brought so far forward that he was not at all happy, but it was all for Frieza’s sight. He must see that they were going to survive as a race and the royal line would have an heir in the future, even of it weren’t really from Aspaga’s womb, though the King still had some hope that Vegeta could impregnate her if he tried. For his part Vegeta didn’t want to be in the same room as her, let alone the same bed. He could not seem to get his mind off his missing mate, if he had his way; he’d spend days in bed with that one fucking his brains out.

Vegeta squirmed where he stood, his pants suddenly becoming a little uncomfortable. His Father came up to him. “Can’t you control yourself son. The wedding is two days away.”

“When I think of my mate, no I can’t control myself.” He knew that would anger his father and he was not disappointed.

“Go to your future wife, we cannot have the Icejins suspicious of you not being together at this stage.”

“As you order, Father.”

Vegeta walked off as his father twirled to face him, quickly trying to soothe his anger. His offspring had the talent to piss him off easily, always had. The King however, was very good at recomposing himself. Something he was easily able to do after years of dealing with alien governments, as well as his own. Right now he just wanted this all over and the Icejins gone. He didn’t want to have to deal with them anymore, he’d have enough to worry about to fulfill the deal he had made with them.

He watched his son go and join Aspaga. They were good together. She was an excellent choice for Princess; she knew how to deal with anyone who crossed her path – with the exception of Vegeta. The King truly hoped that she would become pregnant to Vegeta even though she knew he had a mate that she hated. Because from the sounds of it, Vegeta enjoyed taking his mate. Of course, there was the small matter that he had been kidnapped, but their bond was unbreakable, they would find him, if he did not find the Prince first. Before he had pushed his son into taking the boy, but now he hoped the third class did not bear for his son…
