"You're gonna be sorry you ever got in this fight Street Trash!" a bulky Saiyan man yelled.

"Hmph. We'll see about that." she calmly replied.

One man charged at her and grabbed her arm, then swung her over his head and threw her back first into the ground. Cracks and dust emerged from the impact. She winced with pain, but that soon changed. The man still held her arm and was chuckling. Her eyes narrowed and she rolled on her back, flipping her body up and then slammed the heel of her feet into his face. He roared out and rubbed his face. The girl flipped off of the ground and then somersaulted into the air, over his head and then she landed on his shoulder, one foot on each side of his head. She crossed her arms and chuckled while the man on the ground was sweating nervously. He reached into the air to grab her ankles when the grip tightened. He stopped. "Uh-uh man. One false move and you get your neck snapped!" the Saiyan girl threatened.

The man signaled for someone to knock her down. One of them snuck up behind her and pushed her. She fell forward, but still managed to keep her feet in place. She arched her back and grabbed the man who pushed her by the head and spun it around, causing a snap to be heard and then a crash as he fell to the ground. She glared at the other men and pointed at them. "Anyone else wanna try me out?!" she asked, daring them to attack.

"You can't attack us all at once! Get her!" one of the men ordered.

They all charged at once. The man who was being held under her grasp began to panic. "No you fools! What do you think you're doing?!"

The girl narrowed her eyes, then looked down at him. He gave a pleading cry for mercy but she was too upset to care. "Say Goodnight!" she muttered.

She jumped in the air, carrying the man with him who was still in between her feet. She flipped in the air and then crashed down on her side, making sure he hit the ground first. Bones began to snap and he begged for mercy. She stared at a wall and then, with not even a hesitation, she twisted her legs hard right and heard a snap. She stood up and saw the head laying there in an odd way. One of the men came and knocked her onto the ground, face first with him on top. Her arms were pinned to the ground and so were her legs. "GET OFF ME! *growl* DAMNIT!" she screamed out.

The men began to kick her in her stomach, pulled her hair causing her head to fly back and then get punched in the face. Blood trickled from her mouth. One guy with a scar over his eye, pulled her hair back so she'd look at him. Her eyes narrowed while he twirled his finger over her neck and he licked his lips. "You're a wild one aren't you babe? How bouts a kiss and we'll let you go?" he asked.

She spat the blood in her mouth onto his face. He growled as he wiped it off.

"You'll have to kill me first Raco!" the girl said fearlessly.

He looked at her in shock. "How do you know my name girl?" Raco demanded curiously.

She smiled bitterly and gave a chuckle. "I'll never talk."

Raco gripped on her head even harder and she gave a small yelp. "You'll talk if you want to live girl!" he threatened.

She growled angrily. "I'd rather die you PSYCHO!"

He back handed her in the face, causing her scouter to break into shards and fall to the ground. He then pulled her head up by the hair again. "TALK! "

She blinked rapidly as blood ran down from where the scouter lense had cut her above the eye. "I said...I'd rather...DIE!"

Vegeta turned to the sound of a beeping noise. It was the boy's scouter, and it was

beeping like mad! The boy pressed a few buttons and then he gasped. "What's wrong?" Vegeta asked.

The boy's eyes narrowed as he read the reading. "Her power's increasing! Ah! " he stood up and Vegeta followed.

"What's the scouter say?" Vegeta asked, noticing that the boy's words showed a hint of fright in them.

The boy's eyes widened in a sudden fright. "It's, it's--" he stumbled over the words.

Vegeta growled impatiently. "It's What?!" Vegeta shrieked, surprised by his own anxiousness to know.

The boy pressed the button again and a random beeping was heard. "It's at 9,420!"

Vegeta's eyes widened, filled with disbelief. "That's not possible!"

The boy removed his scouter and shoved it into Vegeta's hands. "See for yourself Prince!"

Vegeta put on the scouter and calculated the readings. He backed up in shock when he got the final data. The boy looked at him. "Well, was I right?"

Vegeta shook his head, a bead of sweat forming on his brow. "No, it's not 9,420."

"Well, what is it?" the boy asked, ready to know if the Prince knew what he was talkin' about.

Vegeta gave a hard swallow and wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Uh...it's 11,980 and growing!"

"Ahhhh!" the boy yelled. "Unbelievable!"

Meanwhile, the girl felt an energy surge through her and her body began to glow. She saw the lightning spark around her and she closed her eyes. Some of the men backed off but Raco continued to hold her hair. Suddenly, she gave a loud battle cry. "FIRE STORM!" Her ki rose and then her whole body burst into flames, literally. The men flew off of her, some of them had caught fire. Raco tried to get away but the girl ran around him, causing a circle of fire to form. Then she stepped in the flames. Neither Vegeta nor the boy could see her through the wall of fire.

The girl's body resumed to its normal stature. But the only fire that could be seen was the fire in her eyes. Raco began to run to different sides of the fire wall, trying to evade the girl who had caused this to happen.

"W-what do you want from me kid?" Raco said, his heart full of terror.

"Revenge." she said flatly as she cracked her knuckles.

Raco was trying his best not to back up against the wall of flames. "But I ain't did you no harm!" he whimpered.

"No harm huh? Y'know Raco, I've spent the last 3 years trackin' you down. That tells me Vegeta is a big planet." the girl said, now wiping the blood away from her eye.

"What did I do?!" Raco questioned, his voice nearly a high pitch.

She spat at the wall of flames, causing the inferno to crackle and snap from the moisture. "You killed my Father Aveh and by doing so, you caused my Mother to grieve for so long that she wasted away. My Mother...Ignas. I'll avenge them both!"

The girl charged toward him and slammed a punch straight to the gut. He cried out in pain. She removed her fist and when he looked down, he saw she had burned a hole right through him as smoke emerged. Raco fell to the ground dead. The fire wall disappeared and her ki level went down as well. She held her head in pain just as the silver haired boy ran up to her. "Hey! You okay?!" he asked, his voice a bit quavery from shock.

She laughed painfully and patted him on the shoulder. "I'm, okay Jutus. How's what's his name?"

Jutus gave a look of puzzlement, wondering who she meant. But then the look faded and he gestured to the person she was referring to. "Oh, Vegeta? He's fine. As a matter of fact, here he comes."

Vegeta walked towards them, cloak tattered, armor damaged, gloves and shoes were dirty and his face was smudged in dirt. The girl smiled and coughed out some smoke. "*cough* That look suits you."

Vegeta rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. "As you know, I'm Vegeta, Prince of all the Saiyan race." he stated, trying to sound professional.

The girl held out her hand, dirty and battle worn. "I'm Taliyah."

Vegeta looked at her hand then back at her. Taliyah's eyes narrowed, examining another one who wanted to try her patience. "Listen your Royal Pain, if you expect me to bow down at your feet, you had better take my hand cuz I don't bow down to anyone. Got it?"

Vegeta couldn't believe what she had just said. "How dare you speak to your future King that way?!"

Taliyah gave a snort, one that meant 'I dare, and just did!'. "I don't care if you're the King himself! You hang around these parts of Vegeta and you'll quickly find out that title don't mean nothin' to nobody down here! Those guys who cracked your armor and ruined your clothes, they were bein' nice. Some would've beat you up, stole you blind, then they'd have turned you inside out and hung you out to dry! Keep that in mind Highness."

Taliyah turned to Jutus. "Jutus, what's the time?"

He turned on his scouter. "Uhh, 0-200 hours."

She smiled, ready to go home. "Is it getting that late? No wonder I'm so hungry!" she floated into the air followed by Jutus.

Jutus winked at Vegeta. "Be seein' ya!" he said, a slight chuckle was heard as he spoke.

Taliyah winked also and waved. "See ya 'round, royal boy!" Giving the young Prince a glimpse of her comical side. Then, they took off.

~Back to the Present~

Vegeta smiled at the large moon setting behind the woods. He also noticed the sun's rays show themselves just a little bit over the horizon. "So anyway, that's how it happened. We became good friends and they were my Imperial Guard. That is, until they had been missioned to some other planet to conquer. At that same time while they were gone, Freiza captured me as payment and then destroyed our homeland."

Vegeta turned around. "So what did you think gir--" his voice trailed off.

Nina's back was to him, head down on the nightstand. She breathed heavily and gave a sigh. She was fast asleep. Vegeta's eyes narrowed. He couldn't believe she had fallen asleep while he was reliving his past. He looked at the digital clock. 4:05 a.m. He shrugged. Though who could blame her for it. He walked over to the nightstand and picked her up carefully in his arms so as not to wake her up. Nina let her arms fall and she began to mumble.

Her eyebrows furrowed. "Trunks...your dad...has such an...ego." she mumbled. Vegeta growled as her mumbling continued. "But...he has a good heart...he took...good care of my Mother...Father." Vegeta pulled the covers back off the bed and made sure the bed was warm. Then he gently placed her into the bed. She wrapped her arms around the pillow and he pulled the covers over her. Just as he turned to leave, Nina began to mumble again. "Trunks...you mean...so much to me...I...love you." Vegeta turned around and stared.

That girl's in love with my son? Vegeta thought to himself.

Nina resumed her mumbling, interrupting his thoughts. "Vegeta...future Father of...mine." Vegeta's stare became a solemn look. "I...care for you...just as much and I'll...protect you...both."

Then the mumbling ceased and she went into a deep sleep. Vegeta smiled a real smile and left out of the room. He walked down the hall and into the grand bedroom where Bulma slept peacefully. He climbed in bed and Bulma had turned on her side, placing a hand on Vegeta's chest. He slid his one arm around her and pulled her close. He looked up at the ceiling and knew there was no point in sleeping when he'd have to get up 5 minutes til 5 anyway. So, the girl's in love with Trunks is she? he assumed in his mind. Vegeta smiled another real smile. And I know he's in love with her. He looked at Bulma's pleasant face and kissed her lightly on the forehead. She smiled and whispered his name. Welcome to the family Nina. Welcome to the family.
