Part 2 of Chapter 28
*Desenmascarar*
*Don't stray, you'll never go away?*
***
After the meal, which I swear must of looked like something from Scooby Doo with Shaggy and Scooby with the dishes piled a mile high, Vegeta told me and Gohan to stay put while he went round and asked questions.
I looked at Gohan, I was suddenly glad he'd come with us, I just needed that comforting feeling inside me on a strange place like this. I was a nervous as heck.
"Why are we still being looked at?" I asked Gohan softly.
Gohan looked over at the saiyan group staring at us and Gohan shrugged. "We must look like outsiders." He remarked.
"Even with our tails?" I whispered.
"Probably." Gohan replied and I felt him nuzzle at my neck. I put my hand to his forehead and pushed him back.
"Down boy."
He looked at me. "Sorry it's just with all of them looking at you-"
I looked at Gohan. "Hmph." I huffed and crossed my arms. "They aren't looking at me." I grumbled.
Gohan looked at me. "You're still mad at me?" He asked.
"Of course I am. "First yesterday when you called me a kid, then at Mabelle's barbecue, and then at Capsule Corp."
"Wait what did I do at the barbecue?" Gohan asked confused.
"You were looking." I muttered.
Gohan looked at me and he frowned. "Looking?" He repeated.
"Never mind." I sighed.
Gohan blinked. "Oh you mean at Mabelle? Well yeah sure I was."
I looked at him with a glare. Gohan put his hands up in surrender quickly. "But every guy there was, even Vegeta."
"Mirai Trunks wasn't." I remarked.
"Trunks is bonded that pull wouldn't of been there."
"Pull?" I asked.
Gohan nodded. "Yeah there was some sort of pull there." He shrugged. "It doesn't matter now. I'm not there. You're not there." I felt him nuzzle at my neck again.
"Gohan..." I let out a gasp and I felt his teeth. I quickly pushed him back, before any claiming could be done. I was breathing heavily. Gohan looked at me. "Not here... please." I said softly.
Vegeta stepped up to the table. "Have you two quite finished?" He asked amusement in his voice. I nodded and quickly got out from behind the table before Gohan could grab me. I stepped behind Vegeta just to keep that distance between me and Gohan.
"We're here for Pan." I said reminding Gohan. "Your daughter." I added.
Gohan looked at me and he nodded. "Vegeta what did you find out?"
"It appears that baka author landed right in the center of the palace in the throne room in front of my father and my younger self. It was blurted out that they were time travellers so they were placed in ki bands and that's all I got." He replied.
"Ki bands? Then lets go!!!" I exclaimed and dashed out in a hurry.
"JERAAAA!!" I looked over to see Gohan leaving the bar, he looked over at me and growled and stalked up to me. "What has gotten in to you?" Gohan scolded me.
"We have to help them." I said seriously. "Gohan think about it the timeline could be majorly altered if anything happened to them and it'd be all my fault!!" I remarked my voice filled up with worry.
"I'm sorry..." I saw the look on his face and my features softened. Gohan moved so close to me I felt my back pressed against the brick wall and my chest pressed up against his as he began to nuzzle at my neck again.
"We better get going... before we go to far." I breathed softly.
"Majo, Kakarott spawn, you two are to go to the palace now."
Gohan looked over at Vegeta with what I could guess was a glare for being interrupted.
"OKAY!!" I said quickly slipping out from under Gohan and in to the street hurriedly. I heard Gohan growl low and almost animalistic at Vegeta for being interrupted. Gohan was getting pretty edgy. I had a strange feeling Vegeta-sei was starting to effect him like a saiyan.
"Are you coming?" Gohan asked Vegeta in a growl.
Vegeta laughed. "Don't be a baka, I am the saiyan no ouji I will be recognised in the palace. You two are to go. I am staying here to gather more information. Bring the weakling baka human and the chibi onna back here with the information you get and we'll go from there about how to get the saiyan author back."
I nodded. "Understood Veggie." I grabbed Gohan's hand. "Lets go!!"
Vegeta growled at being called Veggie as I took off pulling Gohan along with me.
As we flew over the planet I saw Gohan look at me and I sighed. 'I'm falling for him... or have I? Gah!! But all we do is argue, and kinda sorta make out. I don't get it...' I thought to myself as we flew. I felt Gohan's hand grab my tail and I stopped flying and he rammed in to my back and I looked at him.
"What is it?!" I shouted annoyed.
Gohan pointed down. "The palace." He said.
I looked down and there it was right underneath us. "Sooooo how do we get in?"
I felt Gohan's arms wrap round me and I could feel the material of his gloves as they touched my stomach under the armour. I felt his breath on my neck and I was feeling suddenly flustered.
"And I repeat how do we get in?" I asked quickly trying to pull back.
I felt the light kisses touch my neck and I shuddered involuntary.
"Halt!!! You two are flying over a restricted area!!!" A voice shouted.
Suddenly we were being fired at and Gohan put up that nifty shield thing he used against Garlic jr. in the series.
"Oooh it's this bubble thing!! NEAT!!" I exclaimed.
Gohan sighed at my suddenly childish manner. "Jera..." He said softly.
Then the entire bubble shook with the impact of a blast I looked over. "Holy crap what is that thing?!" I exclaimed as a large cannon of sort was being fired at us.
Gohan wrapped his arms round me protectively and for a moment I took in his sent when we were fired at and the bubble fell with us in it plummeting downwards, to the palace.
~*~*~*~*~
Chibi Vegeta's eyes widened and he stalked back to his throne muttering something about super-powerful saiya-jin onna's and what their secrets were. I looked at all who attended and with a serious expression exclaimed, "I am here to pick up the cyborg, demi-saiya-jin, and cyborg halflin"- Something crashed in to me and I turned over. I saw J-dee??!
"J'dee-chan??!!" I exclaimed. She smiled sheepishly and pointed to Gohan who was picking Blake up. I drooled a second as Gohan got up, man he sure did look hot in those spandex. I shook my head and looked at Gohan for an explanation.
"It was all his/her fault!" they both stated and glared at each other. I sweatdropped and twirled my braid around my fingers. Would they ever stop fighting? I sighed and looked at them.

*Tobias / Lady Youko / VegeChan / Mabelle*
I smiled as I watched Artic enter the room and several of the warriors shrink back. It was enjoyable to see how he reacted to other people. I sighed as I sat down and watched him take a seat across from one of the scientist/warriors. There was a chessboard
between them and I wanted to see Artic's tactical skills. I was sorely disappointed.
*****
"Artic, my love, would you come here?" Lady Icer asked. Artic snarled, and swept the chess pieces of the board and blasted the fool who was beating him. He snapped his fingers at nearby soldier who took the man to the regen tank. Lady Icer snickered as he pulled his gloves back on.
"You hate it so much when he beats you yet you always look so forward to your matches." she said, snickering. He smiled at her.
"I always enjoy a good challenge. I don't know why but I fell like I should be able to beat him, but I can't seem to draw on the moves." he said softly to himself. Lady Icer glared at her main scientist, Katmitsu, who gulped.
*****
I growled as I went to see how my special ki absorption belts were and sighed thankfully. I was beginning to worry, Artic had the power, the ferocity, and the desire to do, but his mental capabilities to plan were sad. I hadn't anticipated that, oh well, I still had him. I chuckled, the belts were perfect and I smiled, time to show Artic his new toy.
*****
"Well, I want you to put this on my love." Lady Icer said, throwing Artic a new blue spandex suit, with small wires extending from the ends of the sleeves, for the hands and feet. Artic sighed as he snatched it when she threw it at him. He took off his clothing and put the suit on, the wires fitting over his hands and feet like gloves and boots. He put his boots and gloves over them and found he felt no difference.
"Strange. What does this new suit do?" Artic asked. Icer chuckled as he pulled his armour back on.
"It absorbs ki from your opponents. I wear a belt of the same kind. It will give us an advantage in battle. We may have to face everyone at once, and even with our skill we'll need that edge." she said, and Artic snorted. He walked out to the main bridge, and
turned to Salsa and Jiece.
"Land at the designated coordinates, and then send the men out to have some fun. Me and Lady Icer will be by ourselves, having some fun with the leader." he said, and he heard Lady Icer snicker behind him.
*****
I watched him, he seemed to be in control and I had to shiver at his demanding nature to my troops. I felt like laughing, this was going to be so much fun. I couldn't wait to see his little bitch's face when she saw what had become of her precious mate.
*****
I watched as Lady Icer and her fellow warrior sat above the cabin in their hover chairs. I gulped as I stepped back towards the group.
"Kakuna, stay with Trunks, you two have to worry about other things at the moment," I hissed as I stepped back and felt Goten and Bardock step up to offer me protection. I saw the look on Icer's face and knew she was up to something, where was Toby. I looked at the henchman to her side, he was tall and his blonde hair stood up above the mask covering his face. I could still see his beautiful, cold blue eyes. Bardock pulled me behind him and I gulped as I stared at this new Saiyan. I gulped this guy was impressive and I could only wonder, where was Toby?
*****
"I do so enjoy riding in these hover chairs, they are so comfortable." Artic said as he hopped out of his, the people at the barbecue stared at him and Lady Icer.
"Well my love, it seems we interrupted a party, what a shame." she said with a laugh. Artic joined in her laughter.
"Oh well, I guess we'll just have to help ourselves, after we kill them of course.: he laughed. Two Saiyans who looked identical glared at him, the one without the scars stepping forward.
"I won't allow you to hurt these people!" he snapped. Artic smiled.
"I believe you are the one called Goku, yes?" he said, smiling. His eyes caught a female hiding behind who he knew to be Bardock. Lady Icer's identity files he had read earlier were coming in handy. When he saw the female hide behind Bardock, he felt rage,
jealousy, and Lady Icer was watching him closely. He screamed and powered up to SSJ2.
"You pathetic fools! You dare to challenge me? Lord Artic, General of Lady Icer's force's? Die!" he screamed leaping forward.
*****
I felt tears streaming down my cheeks as Goku was beaten, he was in horrid shape, Goten was being held back by Bardock, while Kakuna was being restrained by Trunks. I gulped as I watched Goku fall, defeated badly. I saw the ki blast building in Artic's hands and I went for it. I had no one to hold me back and if I died then at least Goku would live, I hoped.
"NO, GOKU!" I cried!
*****
I watched as Artic began to beat the crap out of Goku. I chuckled as the great warrior was knocked to the ground in an unconscious state. I smirked as I saw the light in the girl's eyes grow. She was behind the father of Goku who was holding Goten back. There was another Saiyan girl there being held back by Trunks and I felt like laughing at them all. Suddenly the bitch ran to cover Goku's body with her own as Artic was about to kill Goku.
*****
"No!" the girl cried again, blocking his path to the unconscious Goku. Artic narrowed his eyes at her. Why couldn't he strike her down?
"What are you waiting for? She is Mabelle, their leader! Kill her my love!" Lady Icer shouted. Artic snarled and tried to fire a ki blast but his eyes blurred while her name kept repeating in his mind.
"I'm sorry my Lady, but it seems that I can not attack a female Saiyan who is bonded to another." he said sadly. Lady Icer snarled.
"Come let us go back to the ship. We'll regroup there. I want to have a chat with Katmitsu." she snarled. Artic powered down, and began walking back to his chair when Mabelle shouted out, "Tobias is that you?"
*****
I looked at the warrior and I could see those blue eyes fill with a strange light, was it recognition. I didn't know what Icer did to him, but I knew this was Toby. I looked into his soul through those eyes and I could tell he believed that he had done horrible things, but Toby hadn't hurt anyone, save a few of Icer's henchmen.
"Toby, it IS you," I said as I went up to him and pulled the mask off so I could see his face. He stared at me with those strange eyes, it was him!
*****
I growled as I lunged at the bitch, knocking her to the ground beside Goku. She groaned as she got up and looked back at Artic. Her eyes were watering up, I knew I had to shut her up, she could ruin everything! I stood between her and Artic as she got up.
"You've lost, I have him, can't you smell that?" I hissed and I watched as her nose twitched for a second and then her eyes widen in shock. Her eyes narrowed in anger as she lunged at me. I used my tail to send her flying back. Her eyes went off me and I hissed.
*****
I looked at Toby, he was watching Icer and I wanted to know why he was dressed like that. Why was he doing this? What had happened?
"Toby!" I cried as I pushed off the ground at SSJ2, his eyes widened as I came towards him. I felt the cold hand wrap around my ankle and throw me into a nearby tree. I dodged the knee that was aimed for my head and rushed to Toby, I was about to touch his face, stroke his cheek as I had done last night when I caught her scent on him. I pulled back for a second and Icer grabbed me by my shoulders and threw me into the ground. I blinked as I coughed out some dirt. I spat a bit of blood onto the ground and looked
up at Toby, Icer floating between me and him. She was all over him and I could smell the scent of her body on him, she had used him! I shoved that out of my mind and lunged at him. My eyes streaming as I rushed towards him, I was grabbed around my neck by her tail and flung into the ground, creating a large crater; dropping out of SSJ2.
*****
"Bitch!" Lady Icer screamed, as Mabelle refused to stay down. She got up, and looked to Artic with those begging eyes again.
"Tobias please, come back to me." she begged. Artic shook his head, feeling so dizzy and confused.
"I...." he began. Lady Icer snarled and picked him up by the back of his spandex and plopped him into his own hover chair as she sat in hers.
"We go, and go now! Stop trying to confuse MY mate you bitch. Artic killed Tobias on the last mission he was on. We'll be back once he has fully recovered." she snapped as they took off.
*****
I looked up into the sky and let the tears stream down my face. My whole body seemed to go numb as I stood up, my shirt was ripped across the shoulders so my scar from Toby was visible as well as the tops of my breast. I looked down at the crater I was
standing in and I noticed the collection of dots of moisture at my feet. I felt my tears with my hand and slowly turned to see a collection of faces, none of them having any significance to my brain. All I could think was Toby, my Toby, my lover, my mate, evil? Mate of Lady Icer? Rejecting me? Denying me? I pushed past those faces, my eyes blind to their features, my heart crying out in pain as I virtually shoved the last face, the scar making no difference. I slowly opened the door into the house and wandered into the bedroom. I reached into the dirty clothes bind and found the shirt he had been wearing last night, before our lovemaking. I grabbed it and brought it with me onto the bed. I sat there hugging that shirt to my chest, taking in his strong, musky scent. Toby, my Toby, my lover, my mate, come back, come back... please oh God, come back.
*****
I growled to myself as we entered the ship, my first stop was to the med lab. I grabbed Katmitsu and held him up close so I could talk to him.
"He holds an attraction to the bitch still, Doctor, I didn't want that," I hissed as I shook him. "You'll pay for letting him have that weakness." I began to beat him, I didn't find the urge to stop until Artic came in. I was going to need to kill that bitch, maybe I could find a way for Artic to do it. Wasn't there a sort of bond that would kill both, I smiled as I came up with an idea.
*****
"I should have given you more time to recover my love. That Saiyan Tobias screwed you up much more than I thought." she said. For some reason she had beat Katmitsu senseless when they got back, and then hurried him to their room to rest. Artic sighed, and sat on the bed, naked and rubbing the bruises on his arms.
"I'm sorry I should have tried harder." he said. Lady Icer chuckled and came over, straddling his lap. She nibbled his ear.
"Its okay my love. After another night's rest I expect you will be at full power. Till then, let's have some fun, eh?" she said, pushing him down on the bed. He smirked.
"As you wish." he said, kissing her, but Mabelle's face in his mind.
*****
I could sense the presence of another, it was male, it was talking, but the words didn't matter. I was still weeping softly as I was picked up and taken into the next room. I sat there clutching the shirt to me. The slap across my face brought me back as I stood up
with a roar.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT FOR?!?!" I howled as I stood glaring at Bardock.
"Finally, you've been moping for five hours, get over him girl," he said as he sat down and began to eat. I hadn't even noticed the food. I sat down and began to eat. We were silent, my mind was on Toby or Artic or whatever his name was and how Icer did it to him. I looked up and glared at Bardock when our eyes met.
"He's still alive and he's still in there, I know it!" I hissed and Bardock chuckled as he looked at me.
"Of that I have no doubt, but your bond is only half done, the possibility of life is only half certain, at any time another male could come along and make sure that life destroyed and replaced with his own," Bardock said and I didn't understand a word of it.
"I'll wait for him," I said as I went out into the light of the semi-full moon and sat down in my garden to meditate and think of some way to bring my mate back to me from that whore's clutches.
*****
I looked at the mixtures Toshi, Katmitsu's second, held up. I smiled as I turned to Salsa and handed him the two guns, one loaded with darts for Mabelle and the other loaded with darts for Bardock.
"You understand what you're to do," I said as Salsa nodded and I turned to Toshi. "This will weaken her and strengthen him, correct?"
"Yes," Toshi said as he bowed and I smiled.
"Go now, Salsa, I want this done before tonight is over. Do come back alive," I said and Salsa chuckled as he went out to begin my plan for the bitch of Tobias.
