Taliyah and Jutus sped across the ship landing and departure port. They were trying their best to dodge the many laser beams that were being ejected from both guns and laser canons as well. They had managed to break through Zircon's main military defense line but they knew more soldiers were ahead as well as the ones who were firing the deadly weapons. Taliyah and Jutus were trying to get to a ship as fast as possible so they could set a course for Earth. While on duty, they had overheard Zell talking to one of his top military assassins and caught him saying he wanted Taliyah and Jutus under his complete control, as well as have the Saiyan race eradicated. They heard the female assassin say that he was a fool for thinking Taliyah and Jutus' kids were the only Saiyans on the Earth.

Taliyah and Jutus didn't stick around long enough to hear the rest of the conversation. They didn't want to and didn't have time to. They ran out of the palace and headed straight for the ship's docking area, planning to protect their children. The only thing that was slowing them down, were the thought of arriving a few days too late. The mercenaries had already gotten a 2 day headstart and were probably due to arrive in the hour. They had to make haste and pray that their kids would be alright when they arrive. But first things were first, they had to get off of Zircon. Not only that, they had to get off and away alive.

Taliyah dodged a lazer beam that just barely caught her arm. She continued to run with her husband behind her, silver hair flying behind him like a kite tail. Just then, one of the lasers hit Jutus on the back of his shoulder. The beam tore through his flesh and then reappeared in front. The blinding beam soared out, followed by a spray of bright red blood. Jutus yelled out in pain as he clutched his shoulder, the blood seeping through the fingers of his white gloves. The blood was a blinding red against the whiteness of his gloves.

Taliyah stopped dead in her tracks as she turned around to see her husband on his knees. She ran to him, dodging the shots as best she could. She placed a hand on his shoulder and then on his back. Taliyah tried her best to lift him up without inflicting pain on the wound. Jutus hissed with pain and as he did so, another laser beam shot by his face, missing his cheek by a hair. Taliyah floated in the air, carrying her husband with her and with a burst of flaming red ki, she zoomed towards a ship.

They had tried their best to avoid flying. This would only give the soldiers a better advantage to hit them. But this was not a time for trivial matters, let alone tactics. So Taliyah would just have to trust her instincts and hope no one got the best of her.

Taliyah turned up the heat and began to accelerate towards a nearby ship. There were 50 Zirconian soldiers guarding the entrance to the ship on it's starboard side. The ship was a long battle cruiser that was almost like a Grappler ship, but this one was maintenanced so well that you wouldn't have to use the Grappler arms unless you ran out of ammunition. Taliyah grimaced at the sight of the soldiers setting their laser canons, and knowing them, they were charging it to full power. Taliyah decided to take advantage of this situation.

Her eyes narrowed. I hope they don't move. I don't want to damage the ship in any way. That baby is our ticket off this planet and to our kids. Taliyah thought to herself.

A glowing ball of energy began to form in her out stretched palm. Then she rapidly moved her hand back and forth as many comet-like beams targeted the soldiers. The Zirconians screamed and the shots collided as smoke emerged. When the smoke cleared, Taliyah could see that all the soldiers had been destroyed. Jutus moaned in her arms, trying his best to remain concious. She looked down at her bleeding husband and wanted to cry, but held back the tears.

Taliyah brushed a sliver strand of hair from his sweat covered forehead. "Don't worry Jutus. We'll be with our kids soon enough." she coaxed him.

Taliyah flew in through the ship's entrance on the hull and slammed her fist against the red button on the side of the wall, the door rose from off the ground and closed the ship's opening. She could hear the laser canons hitting the door, but Taliyah was not worried. These were one of the Emperor's best ships and it was built with laser beam protection all the way through. As well as missile protection, but a Caster beam would damage the ship pretty good. Fortunately, you had to have clearance to charge up the Caster beam as well as 15 minutes of charging time for the beam. Taliyah knew that only Zircon and few other planets with maintenance high enough like Zircon's could create a Caster beam.

Taliyah carefully set Jutus down on the floor of the ship. She ran to the controls on the main deck of the ship and began to press buttons. A message blipped across the screen that said: *PASSWORD CONFIRMED*

Taliyah began to chuckle to herself. "That Zell, what an idiot! He thought that we were so much under his control that he could trust us with Zircon's top military files and passwords! He should've known never to trust a soldier of The Saiyan Elite!"

"T-MINUS 30 AND COUNTING. 30...29...28...27...26...25...24..." the computer spoke.

Taliayh went back to her husband and knelt down beside him, looking at him as he clutched his wound. She placed her hand over his bloody one and removed it from covering the wound. Taliyah could only give a slight whimper at what she saw. Jutus lifted his blood covered hand and was about to touch her cheek, when he hesitated. He didn't want to get her dirty. She grabbed his blood stained gloved hand, causing blood to smear on her own white gloves, and then she rubbed her cheek in his palm. Taliyah felt the warm moisture against her cheek and a tear ran down the cheek Jutus' palm was cupping. The lonely tear continued to fall down and over Jutus white glove, causing the red blood to be mixed and then it streamed with the tear down the glove.

"18...17...16...15..." the computer still counted down the seconds of their departure.

Jutus saw something on Taliyah's ear begin to glow. The light continued to grow until it was almost hard for him to keep his eyes open. He realized that it was Taliyah's earring, a jagged tooth-like stone held on a loop in her ear, just one of the 5 stones they had found on their raids of conquering planets.

"Taliyah," he whispered. "Your earring, it's glowing."

Taliyah opened her eyes, a look of confusion spread over her face. "What?" she asked.

"12...11.." the launch sequence continued.

Then Taliyah noticed that her husband's earring, the same ivory colored stone, was glowing brightly as well as her own. She began to gasp. What's going on? she thought. This has never happened before! What does it mean?

"9...8...7...6..." the countdown still was going. They both felt the ship rumble and shake beneath their feet.

The light continued to glow brighter and soon, they were lost in it. But then, the light dimmed just barely and they found themselves in an emmense voide of light. Taliyah and the still wounded Jutus were confused and felt ignorant as well. Where were they?

The voide then turned into a dark green field near the mountains at night. They looked around and saw many craters across the land. They also saw many figures fighting against what seemed to be just 3 people. There were 6 people fighting some long blue haired opponent whose weapon seemed to be a double bladed sword and the black handle was in the very center. He had a lightning scar on his forehead. 2 of the fighters were glowing gold all over, and their hair was yellow and their eyes were green. One had flaming gold hair and Taliyah gasped.

She pointed towards the fighter. "That's Vegeta!" she shrieked.

Jutus looked at who she was pointing to and instantly recognized the Saiyan Prince. "It is Vegeta! But why has his hair turned golden? Could it be, that he's become a Super Saiyan?" he wondered aloud.

Taliyah looked closer. "And that must be Kakarot! Their both Super Saiyans and their tails are gone as well!" she stated.

They saw that a powerful Namekien was with them, as well as a short haired Super Saiyan. Taliyah and Jutus presumed that it was Gohan, but what was a Namek doing on Earth? They also saw a fighter with a scar over his eye and an 'x' shaped one over his cheek. His hair was sleek and black and it came above his neck in a low cut fashion. Another fighter had 3 eyes, one was on his forehead and he wore a type of fighting outfit that only covered half of his chest. Also there was a short fighter, who looked like he used to have been a monk, but grew his hair again. He wore a red shirt that covered a little bit of his shoulder and was tucked into some khaki pants.

They looked towards the second fighter who looked like a soldier from the planet Feilynx, a place where everyone looked like a cross between some sort of wild cat and a humanoid. Her bright orange hair matched the color of her dress which was covered with black spots. She was fighting 4 warriors. One looked like Kakarot when he was young, (Though the only time they saw him was as a baby.) but his hair was golden like Kakarot's and gold ki flames surrounded him. There was a female fighting along side of the Super Saiyan. Her white ki flames grew and made her thick brown banes fly upwards. She had a red bandana on her arm as well as a linen bandage on her knee. But she seemed to be fighting just well. Another fighter had short blonde hair, coming just above her ears and she had an icy glare on the enemy. She wore a short sleeve t-shirt and jeans along with white tennis shoes.

The last fighter out of the four had gleaming yellow hair and his eyes blazed green. He had a metal rod that electrified and a thin scar was on his left cheek. The locks of hair that hung from the side seemed to curl up and then spike at the ends. His hair was in a low ponytail and he wore baggy ripped clothes. He dodged an attack from the Feilynx and a jagged tooth-like stone flew upward from out of his shirt and it was on a thin brown leather string tied around his neck.

Both Taliyah and Jutus gasped. "Jarvus!" They yelled out to the figure, but sadly, he could not hear them.

Finally, the last opponent was a green haired girl that had a red hat that fit her head and it was trimmed in yellow silk. Her banes were braided in micro braids. She had on a skin tight black body suit that had a diamond opening on her chest, revealing just a bit of her chest. She also had on a bright red skirt, pockets trimmed in black and so was the zipper cover. Her belt was black leather and had a yellow star buckle. She was also wearing a black star earring with a white diamond shape in the center. She was fighting 4 opponents. 3 of them were on fire, golden flames surrounding their entire body.

A Super Saiyan, a young boy about 18 was on the attack. The other Super Saiyan wore her hair in a high ponytail, hair short and spiky. She looked just like Taliyah and was around 21 years of age. The Super Saiyan wore a jagged tooth-shaped earring that hung onto a thin silver loop in her ear. Taliyah and Jutus felt they were gonna explode with happiness.

"It's Kino!" they shouted together, completely overjoyed.

The green haired opponent was about to throw an energy blast at another one of the fighters. She was a young girl, about 14 and she wore a bright orange bandana around her head, black banes falling over her eyes. The young warrior had on black finger cut-off fist gloves and an orange t-shirt that was trimmed in black on the sleeves. She wore black baggy jeans with black and white tennis shoes. The girl had already gotten slugged in the face a few time already, and the small scratches and slight bruises on her cheeks were proof enough. She gathered an energy blast of her own, but Taliyah and Jutus could tell the blast wasn't going to be stronger than the green haired fighter's was.

Obviously, another of the fighters realized this. The last Super Saiyan's hair flamed up and was longer than the other's were. Her golden banes fell over her fiery jade eyes. She yelled to the young girl and jumped towards her right when the green haired fighter had shot off the blast. The Super Saiyan knocked the young fighter off her feet and covered her as best as possible right when the shot exploded behind them, knocking them a bit across the field. The Super Saiyan stood on her knees along with the 14 year old who got up all the way on her feet. The Super Saiyan seemed to be asking the girl if she was alright and the girl nodded. The Saiyan got up off her knees and placed a hand onto the girl's shoulder looking down at her. As the Saiyan spoke, a jagged tooth-shaped, ivory stone dangled on a thin sliver chain from around her neck.

Taliyah burst into tears. "NINA!" she cried out. Jutus sat up and even though he was in pain, held his wife close. "My dear little Nina!" she continued to whimper.

But as though it were a dream, the scene rippled and then vanished. The white voide returned and soon that too slowly faded away. They then found themselves back on the ship's deck, Taliyah weeping in her husband's arms.

"3...2...1...0...PREPARE FOR TAKEOFF. DESTINATION...EARTH." the computer announced.

The ship then rumbled and lifted from the launch site. Soon, it hit Zircon's atmosphere and it headed into deep space. It's course...Earth. Taliyah and Jutus could only pray that they would arrive before it was too late.

* * * * * *

The green bane braided Leiutenant stretched her arms towards the sky and gave a huge yawn. She then tucked the green hair behind her ear, revealing her black star earring that dangled from a few links of chain. She looked at her surroundings in disgust.

"This is it? This is Earth?!" the mercenary looked around and grimaced at the scenery. "What a dump!" she muttered.

The young feline soldier pawed the ground with the tip of her toe and she made the grass swirl around. Then the cat-humanoid sniffed the air a few times, her ear twitching in the process.

She shurgged and dusted off a tuft of fur on her black spotted dress. "I donno, it's not so bad. The air smells wild and the land is the same as back on Feilynx." she replied. The feline then straightened out the fur sock around her shin. "I actually wouldn't mind staying here after our mission's been complete."

The boy with the royal blue hair and long ponytail stepped up towards the cat-humanoid. He rubbed a few banes out of his face and revealed his lightning shaped scar. He placed his other hand in his pocket.

The boy sighed. "Yeah, it'd be a waste to just blow up the planet after we get rid of those kids." he said thoughtfully.

He then huffed an angry sigh as he shoved his hands deep into his pockets. "It probably won't even take us that long to kill those kids anyway! This is such a drag man!" he grumbled.

The feline turned toward her green haired companion. "So, what're we gonna do? These kids aren't gonna be much of a challenge." she turned to look at the sky. "And I doubt that the other fighters will be either." she finished.

The spunky Leiutenant turned toward the Feilynx and smiled. "Well, I suppose we could drag out the fight. But it's too bad we won't spend that much time looking for them."

The boy looked at her. "Why do you say that?" he asked.

She pointed towards the mountains and they followed her gesture. They saw 2 fighters floating in the air, gold ki flames surrounding them while 3 spectators, one with lavender hair, another with wild black hair and the other with short brown hair in a ponytail. They seemed to be looking in the mercenaries' direction.

The Leiutenant giggled. "They seemed to have found us instead!" she replied happily.

The 3 soldiers snickered as they walked towards their prey, ready to have some fun before they prepared the kids for their demise.
