THREE DIMENSIONs
CHAPTER 8

"Soldier, report!"

The passing Saiya-jin knelt quickly.

"Ouji-sama, Sector 6 has been breached."

"Get up and walk weakling!" Prince Vegeta marched ahead. The soldier staggered to catch up. "Any casualties?"

"Yes sir. The City 6 was destroyed. All human laborors were killed."

"You know what I meant FOOL!"

He started stuttering in fear. "N-no Saiya-jins sir. They are at this moment engaging the enemy. I was about to go there my..."

"Dismissed 1st class."

"Thank you Ouji-sama." The soldier growled in Saiya-go and ran off.

Prince Vegeta slammed open the command room's double doors, only to find everyone else was already there. Scowling he knelt infront of the Overlord.

"Oou-sama. The enemy has destroyed City 6 and all humans, no Saiya-jin lives."

King Vegeta smirked. "You are late."

Prince Vegeta stood. "Could not be helped. The fools are jumping for a fight. All of them are rushing towards the city."

"Full moon."

"That's the problem."

The Overlord turned to a technician. "Have you got visual yet?" His voice was getting annoyed.

"O-Overlord...there seems to be a problem..."

Bulma pushed him out of the way. "Genius coming through."

Immediately she started typing. "Got it." The screens filled with wreckage and corpses. Chichi gasped.

"Those...jerks." The words forced themselves between grinded teeth. Gohan closed his fist in anger.

King Vegeta wave it off. "They are dead. Get a visual if you can of the fighting. Humans don't matter."

Bulma set her jaw. The screens wavered and changed.

Saiya-jins flashed past, fighting some invisble enemy. Sounds of bone on flesh rang.

"Scouter." Another technician threw one. In a flash, the Overlord had it on. The scouter looked different. Blue for one thing.

Prince Vegeta watched the screens. "There's nothing there. The men are fighting air. This is impossible."

"Could be they are just invisible." Goku pointed out.

"Put this on the large screen." Overlord Vegeta thrusted the scouter into Bulma's hands. She took it a little peeved. Minutes later, screams pierced the air.

Saiya-jins ran amok, smirking ferociously as they chased what looked like six-eyed insect looking creatures that shrieked in attack, biting running humans and other weaker aliens in half. Blood flowed freely.

Chichi covered her mouth in a soundless scream.

"Those things are not of our universe." Prince Vegeta observed.

"Hm. Yes. They prove no match for us. Unnecssary to send the elite. Let the men have their fun." King Vegeta smirked.

Goku's eyes narrowed. "So your just going to leave them there?!"

"Yes. Why shouldn't I?"

The taller Saiya-jin scowled. "You are leaving all those innocent people to die."

The King laughed. "What innocent? They are soldiers. And Saiya-jin. Combined with the power of our moon, this will satisfy their bloodlust."

Chichi broke the panel metal she was holding in anger. "All those people! You monster!"

Vegeta looked at the screen. He knew what bloodlust was. Every Saiya-jin has it. Maybe except the baka Kakarotto. But this could be a fatal miscalculation.
"Better to kill those things faster before they get more workable laborers."

Goku looked at him and nodded. Vegeta has more experience in manipulation than him, but he could see that way they could save those people and kill those things in one go.

Overlord Vegeta smirked. "Why?"

Crack.

Bulma stood, eyes blazing. "I will not watch while you just LET those things kill all those people! Vegeta! Do something!!!"

"Shut up woman." Vegeta turned and the intensity of his gaze stopped her short. He grabbed a scouter. "This is Overlord Vegeta. I order all soldiers to protect the human slaves from destruction immediately." Bulma gaped.

The Overlord scowled. "You presume you can order my men around weakling."

Vegeta smirked. "I don't presume. I know." He shut the link on the scouter off.

The Prince watched their verbal battle in interest.

Suddenly, another wail sounded.

"Second dimension breach in...Overlord, it's centered on the Imperial City!" A technician cried out in fear.

Chichi looked at the King. "Will you leave this one as well?"

Scowling menacingly, The Overlord switched on the com. "Nappa. Go to the gate, and FIX this. "

The Saiya-jin's voice came out tinny on the speaker. "Yes Oou-sama."

A shudder rang through the floor. "Those fools, can't do anything right."

A white light exploded around them.

    ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Mirai Trunks heard it first.

"Guys...!!!!"

They screamed, the walls closing in seering light.

Far above them, two dimensional gates swam dizzily behind two daunting females.
Busu and Ama smirked, eyes shining in sick pleasure as the palace below them exploded, the reverabrating screams of thousands erupting in a single moment.

"Oh look, they survived." Busu sneered.

Trunks strained under the weight of the two women he carried, Goten and Mirai Trunks not much better off, all bleeding from the thousand bits of debris that had slammed into them.

"Everyone okay?" Trunks looked at the others.

"If you call bleeding to death okay, then, yeah." Mirai Trunks scanned the ground below. "That was reeeeeaaaally close."

Goten nodded mutely.

"You okay woman?" Vegeta said gruffly at the woman over his shoulder, who had been plopped there like a bag of potatoes.

Bulma growled. "Be glad I don't know how to fly buddy."

"What HAPPENED!?!" shrieked Chichi, held protectively against her mate's body.

Goku grunted, looking around suspiciously.

Overlord Vegeta and the Prince wore identical menacing scowls.
"No one destroys my palace and gets away with it."

Around them the reckage caused by the many howling Oozaru rampaged in patrol around the city.

"Overlord, look." Prince Vegeta turned his gaze upwards.

None of them had been hurt due to Goku's instant tranmission, though none of the Vegetas were happy about it. Especially the Overlord.

"Oh Kami! The kids!!!" Bulma started struggling in panic.

"Settle down woman! They're fine!"

"Then show me! Vegeta!!"

He growled. "Bulma...calm down! They're FINE!!! And over there!!!"

"Where?" She smiled secretly over his shoulder at the use of her name in what? The FIFTH time in his life?

A vein started twitching in his forehead.

"Bulma-san..." Goku looked towards the ki signatures of their kids.

Gohan followed Prince Vegeta's gaze. "Tousan, look. Do you think..."

While Chichi and Bulma were straining to see the specks that were the approaching New Gen, the men looked up and in sync, scowled.

"Well, well, so these are the bitches that destroyed my palace." Overlord Vegeta snarled dangerously.

The two almost identical women, their faces sheilded by long silver hair laughed. They wore watery looking out fits that only barely hid their bodies, even though the cloth hid their whole length.
"Saiya-jins! Your day of destruction has come. Any last words?"

The one that spoke suddenly looked straight at them.

Goku, Chichi, Gohan and Bulma gasped.

It was Pan.

The other smiled, revealing her face as well to the same result. Both of them...identical except for the slight changes in skin colour.

"Tell us who you are!" Vegeta demanded.

Both smiled eerily, haunted and unsuited on their faces.

"Why do you want to know Saiya-jin?" This one's skin was tinged blue.

Prince Vegeta's eyes narrowed.

"Why have you brought us here!?"

The one that was tinged green smirked at the harpy woman. "To kill you."

Gohan growled menacingly. Something he had never done in memory. His eyes sparked red.

Busu and Ama raised their flattened palms at them, smirking with creepy amethyst eyes.

"HELL FIRE!!!"

The sky crackled with thunder and lightning as massive red clouds gathered and poured killing blasts from above like rain from the two's palms.

Sickening laughter rang continuously.

"FATHER!!!" The two Trunks and Goten screamed in anguish as the ground below them exploded in purple fury.

The flecks that were their parents completely disappeared through the painful waves of blasts.

"Goten! We need to get out of here!!!" Trunks howled above the sound of explosions.

The women in their arms screamed in pain as the blasts hit them mercilessly.

"COME ON!!!" Mirai Trunks slammed into Super Saiya-jin and blasted off. Trunks and Goten not far behind him, roaring into SSJ themselves and desperately trying to protect the women in their arms from blast after searing blast.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" Busu laughed at the Saiya-jin's plight watching in glee as they were pounded down by their attack.

Mutiple howls of rage screamed below them as five spirals of light exploded into flame.

"Not so pathectic afterall." Ama and Busu stopped the blasts and spread their hands behind them, reaching into the wavering portals.

"Come. Fight for us...Fight for your God..."

The portals enlarged and out came thousands of energy-like creatures.

Goku and Vegeta clutched their mates protectively, green eyes narrowed in contempt.

"Gohan. Take your mother and Bulma somewhere safe."

"But Tousan..."

"Do it!" Goku growled.

"H-hai." Gohan took the unconcious Chichi and Bulma into his arms with difficulty. "Father, be careful."

"Aren't I always?" Goku replied, smirking.

Frowning over the uncharacteristic smirk, Gohan blasted off with the speed of SSJ.

Overlord Vegeta crossed his arms confidently. "This is below me to contend with such creatures." He looked up. "However, you shall see the true power of a Saiya-jin. And then, you will pay for having destroyed my palace."

Prince Vegeta snarled dangerously in Saiya-go. "Prepare to die."

The phantom creature's unholy battle cry made shockwaves in the air as they poured into the ground.

Three Oozaru howled thunderously and turned to face the armies of insects and phantoms that surrounded them.

Crunching sounds saw the end of the insects.

The Super Saiya-jins flew down, and fought off the phantoms with ki blasts, all their instincts telling them not to touch them.

The screams of the phantoms grew louder, and suddenly, became silent but still, their 'mouths' were opened.

The Oozaru howled in pain, gripping their heads.

"Kill them! Now!!!" Vegeta slammed the heels of his palms together, energy rippling over them.

Goku ignored the dull pain in his ears, blasting the ever surrounding phantoms with small, quick ki blasts. They exploded gooily on impact.

Crying out a scream of rage, Prince Vegeta flattened his palm against them.
"BIG BANG ATTACK!!!"

The hollows of 'eyes' widened as the blast seared its path through the wave of ghost-like creatures.

Still, the numbing pain in their ears grew more urgent.

Overlord Vegeta felt the trickle of blood down his ears.

They're hitting us with sound! Shimatta!!!

"FINAL......."

Goku looked up and saw the ball of energy that was Vegeta's final flash.

The quickly flew up.

"FLASH!!!!!!!"

The ground exploded in a blinding ball of light. The pain stopped.

Overlord Vegeta and his heir looked unemotionlessly at the giant crater that once was the foundations of their palace.

On the ground, three men, tails lashing got up.

Nappa, Radditz and Turles growled, blasting off to join their King.

"Had enough Saiya-jins?"

The two women laughed.

"Is that all you've got bitch?" Prince Vegeta taunted.

Both of them slitted their eyes.

"Busu. Shall we make them scream?" The green tinged one said.

"Oh yes. Will you play with us Saiya-jins?" Ama sneered.

"Cut the crap and FIGHT wench!" The Prince thundered.

"Very well."

They both raised their hands, and smirked. "HELL FIRE!!!!"

And the torrential blasts volleyed down again.

     ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

A very battered Trio set the four women down in a cave off a cliff nearby.

Trunks, Mirai Trunks and Goten slumped against the rockwall. A distant rumbling told the beginnings of the blasts again.

Trunks wiped the blood from his lips. "Okay, I set the fact we are NOT in fact, okay, so everyone less than dead?"

Goten laughed. "I would raised my hand but I'm just too damn tired."

"Ditto..."

They all turned to stare at Pan.

She groaned and sat up, looking at them with an unknown emotion in her eyes.

"Pan-chan...how..." Trunks directed at her, too tired to move.

Pan laughed bitterly. "Underwear boy to the rescue huh?" She rubbed a pain in her back.

"What did you see?" Mirai Trunks asked carefully.

She stiffened. "Don't ask me...Just, don't, okay?"

"Pan-chan..." Goten started, interupted by a sudden groan beside him.

"Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww." Bura grabbed him...somewhere...sensitive.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!" Goten leapt a few feet in the air, for a moment forgetting his tiredness.

Bura flushed red and snapped her hand away. "Shit! Oh sorry Goten-kun! Did I hurt you bad..."

Trunks started laughing.

And for no reason at all, they all joined in.

After a few minutes...

"I would like to know what's so Kami-damned funny." Serpia suddered, struggling on her knees.

Bura reddened, but shameless as always said, "Oh nothing, I just grabbed Goten's balls..." Goten kicked her leg. "Ow!"

"Heh. Nice. I will never understand your human ways Bura." Serpia leant against the wall as well to try and stop the spinning in her head.

Mirai Trunks looked at the unconcious form of his mate worriedly.

"Well, any ideas?" Trunks quipped.

Pan shook her head, her eyes looking at Serpia. "Serpia...what we saw...did that...really happen?"

Her counterpart's face went blank. "Yes." It was scarcely above a whisper, but it was enough to make Pan pale.

"I'm...I'm sorry." She said lamely.

Serpia visably pushed something back inside her. "Why, you had lived through it now too. I don't want your pity." She said bitterly.

"But...it wasn't..."

"What? Real? Tell me Pan, did it seem real?" Serpia sneered.

Pan gulped, her face white.

"Stop it. Whatever you're doing to her, stop it." Trunks commanded softly.

"I haven't done anything. But she understands now." Serpia leaned back.

Pan nodded slowly. "Yes, I do. I see why you want to kill him. Vegeta."

Goten, Trunks and Bura sucked in their breath.

Serpia grunted.

"We can't stay the night here." They looked at Mirai Trunks. "Those blasts will destroy this cave and us if we don't move." His body quaked in anger.

Trunks nodded slowly. "Yeah..he's right...plus..." He glanced at Pan uneasily.

She didn't meet his eyes.

His future counterpart looked up, and to the horror to all of them, his eyes were red.

Goten shuddered. "Man, you're eyes..."

Mirai Trunks shook his head and when he looked up again, they were back to blue.

"Okaaaaay, definately NOT safe to stay here. If they don't kill us we'll kill each other." Bura made an effort to get up.

"Nee-chan..." Trunks watched as she fell down again.

"But we're too weak to get up." Pan stated.

"We need somewhere safe to hideout for a while."

They all looked at the usually clueless demi Saiya-jin in surprise. Goten shrugged.

"What? I'm just stating the facts."

Mirai Trunks took his mate into his lap. "But, the catch is, we don't KNOW anything about this planet."

"We will go to my home."

Pan looked at Serpia. "Home?"

"Yes."

"Yeah, well, HOW do we do that? I mean, we're too weak to stand up, nevermind FLYING." Bura pointed out.

"Her teleportation will get us there." Serpia pointed at Pan. "It doesn't take energy."

They turned their gazes on Pan.

Sigh. "Grab hold. But, I don't know..."

Serpia stared at her. "You do. The only home I know."

"You mean..." Pan paled again. "Demo..."

"It's safe and hidden. It will do." She placed a hand on Pan's shoulder.

In turn, every one else placed a hand on her as well.

Biting her lip, Pan placed two fingers to her forhead...and they were gone. To a place Serpia had not visited in 15 years.

    ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Snarling in rage, Overlord Vegeta furiously batted away the blasts, plowing up towards the two females.

They laughed at his attempts.

"Kakarotto! Now!"

"Hai Vegeta." Goku grabbed the other man's arms and teleported right above the two females.

"HAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Vegeta slammed clamped fists down on the green one's head. And met air. He swung a kick to the other female.

The two fazed on both his sides.

"Useless Saiya-jin. You can't hit us."

"We'll see about that!" Vegeta snarled.

Goku came out of nowhere, a fist slamming into space, where a moment before, Busu had floated.

"Tut tut, sneaking up on a girl isn't nice." Her face suddenly contorted into an ugly smile. "If you want to fight us, you will die."

"You are the ones that killed all those people. I will not let you get away with that." Goku glanced at Vegeta. In a flash they flew at them, fazing with in human speed.

Overlord Vegeta scowled. "Brat, summon the armies. "

"But Overlord..."

"Are you questioning me?"

Prince Vegeta scowled. "Nappa and those fools can do it."

King Vegeta laughed. "They will never listen to those weaklings. Go."

"As you wish Oou-sama." Prince Vegeta bowed and flew off.

Overlord Vegeta smirked, looking at the fray. He threw is head back, and screamed.

   ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Gohan looked around desperately. "There's now where to go."

Wild Oozaru rampaged every where, Saiya-jins fighting creatures and eachother.

Chichi groaned. "Goku...?" Her eyes opened. "AHHHHH!!!! GET ME DOWN!! GET ME DOWN!!!!!"

"MOM!!! Stop struggling!!!" Gohan fought to hold her in place.

She did as told, looking at the far off ground nervously.

The whole planet suddenly shook with a familar ki.

"Vegeta..." He glanced around, and kept on flying. The sooner Bulma-san and Chichi were safe, the sooner he could help.

   ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAA!!!!!!!!!!!"

Vegeta and Goku stopped staring at the pure energy.

Busu and Ama stared in astonishment. Mesuinu had never told them the power of these Saiya-jin. This was...beyond what they expected. This might be harder to pull off than they thought. The energy will attract Mesuinu. And that would be the end of them.

Nasty feral looks crossed their faces.

Energy crackled around King Vegeta's body ferociously as his body enlargened slightly with each transformation. Golden hair lengthened to knee level as his eyebrows disappeared with the power of Super Saiya-jin Level 3!

"Impressed bitch?"

Busu's eyes narrowed dangerously. "If you think growing your hair is going to scare us, think again Saiya-jin."

Vegeta and Goku glanced at eachother, then simultaneously looked up at the moon with the same idea. Goku still had his tail. And coupled with the power of the full moon, Vegeta's will be regrown.

Smirks crossed their faces.

    ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The seven reappeared in an isolated house, surrounded by the forests of Vegetasei. It was completely covered by the ki trees, specially planted by this timeline's Kakarotto to hide them.

"Beautiful..." Bura looked around the village with nice little houses in awe.

Serpia closed her eyes for a moment. "Yeah..." She opened them to the same blank look on her face. "Come..I have regeneration tanks. If they're still working which is likely." Straining with effort, she stood, breath coming in small pained gasp. She looked at them. "Get up."

Pan raised an eyebrow. "How about you just show me where they are? And how many?"

The assassin stared at her. "There are five. And are situated in that structure." Serpia gestured at the nearest house.

"Oh."

It took a while for them to get in the tanks, the guys being the gentlemen they are, letting the girls go first while they made use of the various medical equipment around.

Mirai Trunks slowly, and efficently bandaged his arm. After all, he had practice.

"How long do we have?" He glanced worriedly in his mate's direction.

Trunks glanced at the time on the regen tanks. "An hour." He shifted uncomfortably in the torn Saiya-jin armour while trying to stop the bleeding from small, but varying cuts.

Goten frowned. "I'm next."

His best friend querked an eyebrow. "Goten, there are five tanks."

"Oh."

    ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Nappa watched in awe as his King blazed in the absolute fury of SSJ3.

"What....power..."

Overlord Vegeta tilted his head, sneering down at the two females. He addressed the two men beside him with indifference.

"If you interfere in this, be prepared to greet hell by my hand."

Goku frowned. Every fight, Vegeta had shown the depths of his arrogance and pride. Every fight, someone died. Not this time.

Seeming to see what he was thinking, Vegeta growled in warning.

"Leave him be Kakarotto."

"Is it just me, or do you Saiya-jins spend half of your pathectic worthless lives standing around?" The one called Busu taunted.

The three scowled at her menacingly.

Ama smiled. "Well, those other three seem to." Without looking in their direction, she raised a hand and shot three, powerful finishing attacks in the air.

Nappa, Radditz and Turles didn't have time to scream.

Goku's eyes blazed with anger as the Elites crumpled. "You should not have done that."

Ama only smiled again. "Oh, they're not dead Saiya-jin. If they were, they would scream. Do you know what those ghosts were Saiya-jin?"

Deadly energy crackled around his body as his hair rose just that little bit.

Smiling just as sickly, Busu tilted her head. "Their screams hurt don't they? Of course, you do not enjoy them. Just think of the pathectic wastes of their lives. Then of how it ended in glorious bloodshed and pain." She smiled dreamily. "You will join them soon Saiya-jin."

Grinding his teeth in black fury, Goku half snarled in Saiya-go. "Shut up bitch."

Never could he recall feeling the hatred he did now. Usually his anger was contained in harmless stupidity. But now...

Vegeta smirked in amusment to hear the other, once profoundly innocent man curse.

"Make me." Busu taunted.

Hands clenched, his ki flared above SSJ.

"They are mine." King Vegeta snarled harshly. He narrowed his eyes at the two women. "I care nothing for those lives. But you will pay for destroying my palace, and MY Saiya-jin."

"Ha."

With an angry growl, Overlord Vegeta shot at them, energy flaring around him in a bright flame of red. The colour matched the fury in his eyes.

Busu and Ama only smiled as their forms fazed in the air.

A lightning fast haze surrounded him, almost too fast to follow as the Overlord's body visably fought them off, his own fist not making barely enough hits.

"They need to be separated." Goku murmured.

Vegeta's eyes narrowed as his counterpart fought. Anger was blinding him and making his technique flawed. So this was what it was like when the boy from the future watched him fight Cell. That Vegeta will also lose.

King Vegeta snarled, energy unfurling around him in a blinding red haze as pounding hits struck his side repeatedly and almost, always, in the same place to increase the pain.

A laughing voice passed his ear. "Does it hurt Saiya-jin?"

His fists struck out and smashing into chilled flesh.

Busu was thrown back, her face ugly with hatred. Her face that looked too much alike to Pan's. Using the force of her momentum, she disappeared in mid-air, into a swirling portal behind her, the noticable reddness of blood on her jaw where Overlord Vegeta's fists struck.

The hit was returned as booted feet hit the King on the back, only slightly cushioned by the mound of golden hair and propelling him forward, straight into the knee of her partner.

Ama let him drop, scowling in distaste at the drops of blood that stained, then was absorbed by her outfit.

Howling in rage, Overlord Vegeta blasted back in mid air. He reappeared in front of them, and slammed a fist into the stomach of one the bitch's stomach.

"Vegeta!" Goku yelled in warning.

Instead of flesh, he hit a wall of purple, swirling slowly around his arm and trapping it in an entangling goo.

"What the...?!" His eyes widened as tendrils escaped off the vortex and sank into his skin, searing and just as painful as acid. Sweat dripped from his brow.

Ama appeared from the vortex, again plastered with that sickening smile.

"Scream for me Saiya-jin. You know you want to."

Slow bulbs of his essence traveled up the tendrils.

Yet Overlord Vegeta didn't feel drained. But weakened.

It was taking his power!!!

Lips bared in a silent snarl, he pulled with all his might against the swirling goo. He couldn't budge it.

Ama watched as he struggled to free his arm in amusement. "It won't work Saiya-jin. The other world is different. You cannot control it."

"Is that right wench?" hissed the King. A smirked crossed his face.

Goku started forward, only to be held back by Vegeta.

Slowly, the Overlord's hair receded. Yet the smirk stayed. The portal lighted in an unholy pink.

There was no time to scream as the sky exploded in brilliant white.

But laughter could still be heard.

    ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Can we PLEASE fly a little lower!?!" Chichi screeched desperately, but for all their sakes remaining still.

"Kaasan, I can't. As soon as I get you guys to somewhere safe, I have to go back." Gohan reasoned, already flying low due to the added weight.

Bulma, arms crossed over Gohan's protective arm, scanned the forested horizon.

"Gohan dear, can't you just set us down here? I mean, if they're bent on killing us, isn't it obvious to destroy the planet?"

Gohan's mouth set in a grim line. "Bulma-san, my father and Vegeta will skin me alive if anything happened to you."

Bulma scoffed. "We'll be fine. We're not TOTALLY useless you know. Chichi can fight, and I'm the greatest genius the universe has ever known..."

Gohan sweatdropped.

Chichi peeked between closed fingers. "Gohan, what's that?"

They all looked ahead to see the sky slowly blackening, gaining and consuming the red skies.

Gohan tightened his grip. "Kami..."

"Gohan? What is it!?! Tell us!" Bulma shrieked frantically.

He gulped. "Saiya-jin. They're all Saiya-jin."

Even the two human females could see now. Thousands upon thousands of the flying warriors, one bright flame leading the way. An army of Saiya-jin.

"Wow..." Chichi breathed.

"Shouldn't we get out of here?" Bulma said nervously, looking in apprehension at the approaching swarm.

Gohan shook his head.

Suddenly, a familiar form fazed into view.

"Has it taken you this long third-class?"

Bulma blinked. "T-Trunks?"

The golden haired warrior looked at her with a scowl, acting totally oblivious to the fast approaching army behind him.

Gohan looked at him. "Do you know a safe place for us?"

Prine Vegeta smirked. "Keep going. You'll reach a fortress station. It's armed to the teeth and I'm sure the woman can figure out how to use the weapons."

Bulma 'humphed'.

Gohan just nodded. "Thank you." No need to be impolite, no matter how big a jerk he is.

The Prince looked over his shoulder and waved a hand forward.

"FOR THE GLORY OF THE SAIYA-JIN EMPIRE!!!" His voice carried and was echoed loudly in cheers from the men flying around them.

Leers and smirks were directed at them as men passed.

Prince Vegeta mockingly finger saluted and blasted off, green eyes flashing red as he did.

Chichi let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.

"Kaasan, Bulma-san, are you okay?" Gohan asked sincerely.

Bulma nodded. "Get moving mister. You're in a hurry, and there's a a whole Saiya-jin fortress full of weapons waiting for me."

"H-hai."

   ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Serpia glowered impatiently, slipping another dagger into her armour. The looks from the other three women were becoming annoying.

Mirai Pan shivered again, having donned a spare set of armour.
"How can you stand it?"

"Stand what?"

She glanced at her other self. "The memories."

Serpia scoffed. "Get over it. It didn't happen to you, and I have no business in the past and neither do you. Especially mine."

Rebuffed, Mirai Pan remained silent, looking at her mate in the tank.

Looking between them in mass confusion, Bura sighed. "Is anyone of you going to tell me?"

Looking up sharply, Serpia's eyes narrowed. "It's none of your business. I want to get out of here as soon as possible. I've got a score to settle."

Pan smirked. "Are you sure you don't just want to see the Prince?"

"..." Her counterpart blinked slowly. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?!" Her head loomed over Pan's menacingly.

Hands raised defensively, Pan laughed.

Mirai Pan raised an eyebrow delicately. "And what about you and Trunks huh?"

Immediately, a blush spread over her cheeks.

Both Bura and Mirai Pan leaned closer. "Hn?"

"We're just friends."

Bura laughed. "Then why were you avoiding him this morning? And the fact you were both blushing...just what are you up to girlfriend?" She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively while Mirai Pan smirked.

"Shut up!" screamed Pan indignantly. "We didn't do anything! I mean, I'm in a completely different room! And I was NOT blushing! It's god damned TRUNKS!!!" There's no way anything other than friendship can happen betwen us!!!"

"Do I hear longing?" Bura teased.

Serpia shook her head. "Bakas."

"NO!!!"

Mirai Pan smiled. "So why are you denying so hard if there's nothing to hide?"

Pan gritted her teeth, a vein starting to appear in her head.

"It's because it's Saiya-jin mating season. If they choose each other, it's pretty likely they will mate during the course of the full moon."

The three other women looked at Serpia in sync.

"Nani?"

The demi-saiya-jin sighed. "In lamen's terms, if she wants him, believe me, she'll get him."

Bura tapped her cheek thoughtfully. "I've heard of this from Papa. You mean she's in heat?"

"NANI!?!" Pan screamed.

Serpia shrugged. "Supposedly. If a Saiya-jin has decided on a mate, he, she cannot resist the other, and will go to any lengths to mate with the other. If this isn't fulfilled, their subconcious will prevoke it anyway."

Mirai Pan leaned back."Oooooh." She laughed cheekily. "I see so if they don't....mate, they'll dream about it?"

"Pretty much."

Bura smirked, leaneding towards Pan. "So Pan-chan, have you been having erotic dreams about my brother?"

Her face went beet red. Defensively she threw speculation elsewhere. "What about you Serpia? How come you know this?! Unless YOU have been having 'dreams' about your Prince."

In turn, they looked at her.

To their utter satisfaction, her cheeks only slightly pinkened.

"The influence of the moon does not change my feelings of hatred toward him. There is no point to this conversation. And I refuse to take part in it."

Three mouths opened in sync.

A loud beep stopped their comments however.

"Their healing has been finished. We should open the tanks." Serpia said emotionlessly and waited while the water drained.

Bura, Pan and Mirai Pan politely looked away as the barely clothed guys stepped out, and who immediately blushed seeing Serpia.

A low rumble shook the floor.

"Get dressed. We will be needed." Serpia gestured to the pile of armour on the opposite table. "Pan. We will need transportation."

"Great I'm reduced to a bus service." Pan muttered but followed her counterpart outside.

The sky was dark red, and strangely devoid of clouds. Another shockwave ran through the ground.

"Anything happening?" Mirai Trunks ducked under the low door way, dressed in traditional armour. He looked worriedly at his mate. "Pan-chan, are you okay?"

"You are annoyingly over protective you know?" Mirai Pan smiled and leaned into him. "And absolutely squat is happening. Pan's going to lend us her bus services though." He smild slightly in relief at her reaction.

Bura and Pan laughed.

"Huh?" He said, confused, mainly because he wasn't listening. Must be a girl thing.

Serpia scowled. "Stop this dithering and let's go."

"But if my dad's fighting them, those girls don't stand a chance!" Goten said enthusiastically, before hitting his head on the doorway.

Pan grinned. "Yep. Nobody's stronger than my oji-san!"

"That may be, but would you not feel better if you were there to help?"

"She's right. The last fight with Bebi, I had to bail him out." Trunks stepped over the swirly eyed Goten, smirking cockily.

Pan scoffed. "You were on Bebi's side in half of that fight Boxer Boy."

"What are you guys talking about?" Mirai Trunks interupted, stepping between the lightning death glares between Trunks and Pan.

Bura flipped her hair."Evil bad guy taking over the earth etc. So are we going or what? I don't like the sound of those explosions."

Pan let out a breath. "Grab hold."

A body dropped out of the sky at the booted feet of the King.

Rasping for breath, Overlord Vegeta smirked menacingly, the lone figure standing in the huge crater that was the result of the blast.

Goku and Vegeta looked down in apprehension.

The water clothed female was still in the dirt.

The King wiped the blood from his mouth, and spat the rest viciously on her prone form.
"To contend with Vegeta is to lose wench."

Above, Busu narrowed her eyes. "Fool."

Laughing, Overlord Vegeta kicked the body in the side to make sure it was dead. It rolled several feet away, her hair sheilding her face.

"Hmph." Turning, he looked at the two other Saiya-jin. "Gather those fools in the dirt." He gestured at the three still unconcious elites.

Goku blinked. "What about the other one?"

The King smirked. "She will stay back if she knows what's good for her..."

He went silent as dirt rustled behind him.

Goku and Vegeta clenched their fists.

A demented laugh escaped her lips. Silver gilt hair, slightly browned by dirt covered her face as her body rose from the ground.

"Foolish Saiya-jin. You cannot kill me. You assume I'm weak like you mortals. Your mistake." Her eyes were dark purple as she raised her head, a smile fixed on her lips.

Overlord Vegeta turned slowly, still smirking arrogantly. "I do not make mistakes wench."

"Hmhnhm." She shoulders shook as she laughed. It was not a good sound.

"You're annoying me." Overlord Vegeta growled, flying forward in attack.

Goku stepped forward. "Vegeta NO!!!..."

His knee collided with her face.

Vegeta looked at Goku. "No what? he seems to be doing fine."

Goku's fist clenched harder. "I felt something..."

Blows snapped Ama's body side to side as each landed with frightening accuracy and pain. Undetered, King Vegeta slammed hit after hit on her with cold efficiency.

Vegeta crossed his arms. "This is too easy."

"No, something is...wrong." Goku looked up suddenly at the other female. "She hasn't moved at all. Before, they made it clear they fought together in perfect teamwork. So why isn't she helping as her partner is getting beaten to a pulp?"

Vegeta frowned and was amazed at the words that left his mouth next. "You may be right Kakarotto."

"Nn...ha!" The shout was delivered with a hard kneed to her stomach, followed by two balled fists on her head as her body bent.

Ama's eyes suddenly flew wide as she doubled over, a hint of blue blood on her lips.

With a pleasured snarl, a fist flew at her face.

But instead hit a solid wall of energy.

Eyes wide while her lips tilted again in smile, the wall turned purple, and locked his fist.

King Vegeta gave a short laugh. "You truly are stupid."

She said nothing as her hair lifted with pure energy.

He grunted and found he couldn't open his fist. Suddenly, he was getting pushed back, yet he could not move his fist.

"Vegeta!!!!" Goku yelled desperately in dread.

The Overlord's eyes widened as a fist appeared, mirroring his own, but glistening and swirling in purple goo.

"What in the..!?"

The wall melted into form.

Overlord Vegeta was thrown back as a mirror image of himself smirked. Souless and hollow eyes looked at its opened and closed fist.

Goku's jaw opened in horror. Beside him, Vegeta growled, eyes narrowing.

Ama smiled and placed a hand on the shadow Vegeta's shoulder. "Kill him."

Shadow Vegeta smirked, closed his fists and screamed. The souless sound erupted like the sound of a thousand cries of pain from a bottomless throat.
