Author's note: Okay, I'm back with another chapter. I was thinking of doing a recap, but why waste time doing that while you can simply read the last chapter? C'mon, let's not be lazy now. There's only room for one lazy bum and that's ME! Got it?!

Bulma sighed deeply as she sat at the head of a big table with a bunch of other women. At first they were all talking at once, but then Chi Chi struck the table a few times with an old crab mallet "Order! Order!"

Everyone slowly grew silent.

Chi Chi began, "Our situation has gone from bad to worse. Our regular food runner has reported that now the stores only allow saiyajins into the stores to but food which means we can't pretend to be anyone's mate running an errand anymore. So, not only are we behind enemy lines, we're starving here!"

One of the women raised her hand, "What if we waited until night time and stole it, then?"

Chi Chi shook her head, "At night is when most things are guarded. It'll be impossible for us. Especially if we send one person."

A ditzy, blonde woman raised her hand, "What about flirting with them? It may work!"

Chi Chi raised an eyebrow at the woman and asked, "And exactly how far are you willing to go with the person you'll be flirting with?"

The woman replied, "Oh, I don't mind walking at all."

Chi Chi slapped her forehead and shook her head, "Oy...."

Bulma raised her hand only a little, "I-I think I may have a solution.."

Chi Chi smiled, "Really? Let's hear it, then!"

Bulma nodded, "Well, before I met you all, I was going to try this, but we could all use hair gel to spike up our hair and look like saiyajin women. That way, we could move about freely."

Chi Chi rubbed her chin, "Hmm, sounds like a good plan. That is, if anyone HAS any hair gel."

Suddenly a woman stood up and said, "Gel? No problem! There may not be any on this planet, but I happen to know how to make some!"

Chi Chi looked to Bulma and said, "Bulma, you're a genius!"

Bulma smiled, "I know."

   A sweat drop materialized on the back of Chi Chi's head.

*************************

   A bead of sweat rolled down Yamcha's face, "Krillin. Get ready."

   Krillin got on the firearms control panel, "I'm on it!"

   Yamcha looked straight forward at the on coming ships as he gripped the controls tightly, "It looks like about 20 ships out there like this one and I see one huge battle cruiser looking ship."

   Krillin looked out the windshield and said, "Lucky odds, huh?"

   Yamcha replied blatantly with a small smirk, "I don't believe in luck."

----------------------------  

The main captain in the battle cruiser stood at the bridge of the ship, "Is that the stolen space cruiser?"

   One of the men one in on the intercom from another ship replied, "It's been confirmed, sir. That is the ship that the humans have stolen!"

   The captain shouted, "Don't leave any remains of them OR their ship! ANNIHILATE THEM!!"

The ships began to come at Yamcha and Krillin with a full scale assault of laser blasts.

Krillin exclaimed, "Here they come! It's show time!"

   Yamcha shouts, "Let's GO!!!!"

Yamcha hit the controls and evadesd the shots by throwing he craft into a corkscrew straight ahead, dodging 3 ships, "Hit it, Krillin!"

   Krillin shouted back, "I'm way ahead of ya!"

Suddenly 6 missiles blast out of their ship, sending 2 at each of the 3 ships, resulting in a huge explosion.

   Yamcha shouted, "17!"

More ships came their way, but this time from the left and right.

   One the saiyajin shouted, "Death attack formation!" All the other reply, "Sir, yes sir!!"

   Suddenly, 5 ships closed in from all directions, all shooting lasers.

   Yamcha smirked, "Suckers!"

   He pulled up quickly, causing all 5 ships to blast and destroy each other all at once.

   Krillin smirked, "Nice move! Is it me, or are you actually having fun?"

   Yamcha smirked with a sarcastic reply, "It's just you, Krillin." More ship come at them as Yamcha increased the speed of the ship, evading more blasts.

   "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!!!!"

   Krillin sweat dropped, "It's just me...."

   Yamcha still had a smirk on his face, "12 left! We can do this!"

    Krillin smirked, "Run on through em!"

    Yamcha exclaimed, "Fine, but if we get killed, I'm gonna kick your ass!"

    Yamcha held the controls tightly, flying straight at the remaining ships, dodging blasts.

     Krillin hopped on the laser cannons, picking off each ship as they went by, while counting down, "12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6!" Yamcha smirked, "Nice moves! How many missiles left?"

     Krillin replied, "25! Well, 20!"

     Suddenly, Krillin fired off 5 more heat seekers destroying the remaining 5 ships. Krillin rejoiced, "YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

     Yamcha narrowed his eyes at the battle cruiser, "Not the time to celebrate, pal. We're not outta the fire yet."

      The captain of the battle cruiser sneered with rage, "My men!! My soldiers! Destroyed by HUMANS?! Impossible! Fire  ALL laser cannons, destroy them at ALL COSTS!!!"

   Krillin saw the storm of laser blasts coming at the ship and exclaimed, "Holy shit!!!"

   Yamcha pulled up to evade, "Damn it! How do we take out a big ship like that?!"

   Krillin rubbed his chin, "It's impossible, but we can at least lose it! He began to set up the missiles to fire. Yamcha kept dodging the blasts, "Whatever you're planning, hurry up and do it!"

   Krillin exclaimed, "Get in closer!"

   Yamcha gritted his teeth, "This had better work, Krillin!"

   Yamcha flew the ship in dodging the laser blasts still. Krillin exclaimed, "EAT THIS!!"

   He proceed to fire all the remaining missiles which caused a big explosion between their ship and the battle cruiser. "Yamcha! Fly toward the planet!" Yamcha did so, but a laser blast hit the tail of the ship, just as they entered Planet Vegeta's atmosphere, sending them into a forceful decent. Yamcha exclaimed, "Damn! We're outta control! We gotta get outta here!  This thing's gonna crash, IF it doesn't burn to a crisp, first!"
 

*************************

   Tyler and Bete were now sitting down in a field of grass, facing each other. "So, what's it like to be you?"

   Tyler looked at her strangely, "What do you mean?"

   Bete lied down onto the grass, "You know, how does it feel to know that you can beat the saiyajin prince in a fight?"

   Tyler sighed, "It's not really as good as you'd think. You saw what just happened. I didn't mean to win, I just lost my temper."

   Bete sat up and exclaimed, "You didn't mean to win?! Are you serious?!"

   Tyler sighed, "Of course. I knew this would happen if I did. Better to be humiliated than hunted."

Bete smiled and closed her eyes, relaxing her body, with a deep sigh, "I guess you haven't changed much, have you?"

Tyler raised an eyebrow, "Meaning?"

   Bete looked up at the clouds, "Well, they way I remember you. You would always set your pride aside for the sake of others. You would always let me win a sparring match because I would always be sad about losing. Did you try to lose to Trunks to save his pride, too?"

   Tyler shook his head, "Not really. You saw that he was willing to go through my little brother just to get to me. I wanted to keep my family safe. My father IS one of the strongest, but nobody can beat a super saiyajin."

   Bete rolled over on her stomach and faced Tyler with a smile.

   Tyler thought to himself, "Gawd, she looks so sexy like that..."

   Bete looked him in the eyes with a hopeful smile, "Maybe you're the one who can. Or maybe you can become like him."

Tyler's eyes went wide, "HUH?! Like him?!"

   Bete continued, "You can beat him in a fight when he's not super, which means that you have what it takes to transform, too. Think about it. Have you ever maxed out all you power in a fight before?"

   Tyler shook his head, "No, I only get extensive fight like that while training with my dad. I think he's much stronger than he lets on, though. He taught me how to hide my power level and everything..."

   Bete smiled, "Think you could teach me that, too?"

   Tyler shrugged, "I can try to. I've never taught anything before."

   Bete sighed, then smirked slyly, "You're just afraid I might get better than you at it!"

   Tyler shook his head, "No, it just that, I dunno if I can teach-" "So you're not gonna teach me?"

   Tyler shook his head again, "I am, I am! Calm down."

   Bete smiled, "Made ya do it again. You'll say just about anything to make me happy, won't you?"

   Tyler sighed and stayed quiet. The silence lasted for about a whole minute.

   "Tyler?"

   Tyler looked at her as she stared into the sky, "What?"

   Bete continued to look into the sky, "Do you remember a lady with long, black hair who wore a kimono and used a katana?"  Tyler replied, "No, why?"

   Bete sighed deeply, "No reason."

   Tyler then lays down on the grass and looks at the sky also.

   In his mind he's thinking, "Tired...fatigue...rest."

   His eyes began to slowly drift closed.

*************************

   Vegeta exclaimed, "WHAT?! How could you let them get NEAR the planet! I TOLD you to make sure they don't even SEE it!! What? You thought I was being sarcastic about that?! Come back down to the surface and prepare to receive punishment for your stubborn insolence! DEATH!"

  The Captain Pepa of the battle cruiser lowered his head as the screen with Vegeta's angry face on it cut off. He knew that his fate was sealed when he got back. The high ranked saiyajin uniform he donned suddenly had no more value. Even after everything he contributed to the his whole life. Same with his crew members. Everyone ON the battle cruiser's life was in jeopardy when they returned. The captain of the ship sighed. He lived as a loyal captain to the king and was now going to die by him. Was that gratitude? No, that was more like betrayal. Like his whole life spent working for him never meant anything.

"Captain? Aren't we going to return?" asked one of the crew members.

The captain lifted up his head to face his assistant. The full saiyajin with olive green armor, much like the basic model. He looked at the captain and noticed a glint in his eye.

      Captain Pepa exclaimed,  "No! We won't! What kind of soldiers would we be to just go back and DIE at the hands of the one who's betraying us?! We worked out asses off for him, ALL of us, for our entire lives! And now he thanks us with execution! That's gratitude none of us needs or deserves!"

     All the crew members cheered in agreement.

     The assistant asked, "Where to?"

     The captain replied as he made a dramatic pose, pointing outward toward the front windshield of the ship, "Onward to where the hand of destiny takes us!"

    He looked at the captain and raised an eyebrow, "You don't know where we're going, do you?"

    The captain instantly dropped from his pose, "Not a clue..."

    The entire crew face faulted.
 

************************

    Yamcha and Krillin crawl out of a lake where their ship crashed. Smoke and steam rose from the wreckage.

   "We're alive! We made it, Yamcha! Isn't that great?!" Krillin said, grinning from ear to ear.

   Yamcha replied, "Yes, it is...NOW I CAN KICK YOUR ASS!!!"

   Yamcha tackled Krillin and began to strangle him, "You almost got us killed, you chrome dome numbskull!"

    Krillin gagged, "Cut..it...out!!!"

    Krillin pulled Bulma's tactic and kicked Yamcha where the sun don't shine.

   Yamcha fell down, on his back, holding his crotch with a high-pitched voice, "ARGH!"

   Krillin began catch his breath while rubbing his throat. "That'll teach ya...."

   Yamcha then slowly got up with a sneer, "Why, you...!"

   "Hey!" A small voice sounded, they turned around to see a small boy with spiked up, green hair.

Krillin smiled, "Hiya, kid!"

Tomito looked at the ship and back at them with a puzzled look on his face, "Wha'cha doin'?"

    Krillin looked at the wreckage, then the recovering Yamcha, then back to the kid again, "Well, we're kinda lost. We could use some rest, too. Do you know a place where we can rest?"

   Tomito thought for a minute, "Will you two play with me for today? I'll only show you if you play with me!"

   Krillin looked at Yamcha who sighed with a bit of annoyance. Yamcha forced a smile, "Sure, kid...."

   Tomito rejoiced, "YAY! Let's play tag!"

    He pushed Krillin down on his back, "You're it!"

Tomito blasted off into the sky.

     Krillin looked up and said, "KIDS can fly here?! Now I've seen everything!"

     Yamcha began to float up a bit, "Looks like we'll have to keep up with the little booger if we want a place to stay. Let's get going."

Krillin sighed, "I guess you're right."

The daring duo took off after the green haired boy.

*******************

Tyler opened his eyes and felt something on his arm. He turned over to see Bete cuddled up against him snugly. She opened her eyes a little with a smile, "Wakey, wakey, Ty."

Tyler was feeling nervous as hell. He'd NEVER been in a situation like this, and this girl was so damn SEXY! Her big, blue eyes looked into his. Her smiling face made his heart beat a hundred times a second. He kept a calm look and smiled back, but in his mind, he was panicking like a live chicken in flames. The worst part was, he actually pictured a live chicken running around in flames, defining his own panic.

Tyler looked at his watch, "Bete...I have to go....dad's waiting."

She held on to him, "Please...let me stay like this...just a little longer."

Tyler put his arm around her, "Okay....for you....I will."

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

     Little did they know that Trunks was watching them from a distance with a gang of 3 other saiyajin warriors his age with scouters.

"Hey, sire. Want us to go and mess with 'em now?" asked a dark haried saiyajin

   Trunks smirked, "No, not just yet. Let them enjoy these last moments a bit longer. This WILL be the last we see of Tyler."

   They snicker evilly at the idea as one of them pounds his fist into his palm.

    "I can't wait to sink my teeth into this fight. I'm itching for some chaos!"

     Trunks smirked, "Don't worry, Calflur, you'll get your chance. But remember to leave girl out of this. She is of....particular interest to me."

  Calflur smirks, "Hehe, and why wouldn't she be? That face, those eyes, her smooth, silky thighs, her perfect bust..."

Trunks cut him off, "That's enough."

     The red haired saiyajin snickered a bit more. He knew what Trunks was thinking. Because he's was thinking the same.

Calflur was known by most warriors of the kingdom do to his massive speed. He always donned his black saiyajin battle suit with his gray and black body armor. His naturally red eyes intimidated most enemies. Calflur was anything BUT a push over in battle. His quickest fight lasted only 11 seconds. Yet, still he was nothing compared to Trunks. Why? Because he wasn't strong enough to be a super saiyajin, of course. But then again, no one wanted to be. If anyone were strong enough to challenge the king himself, Vegeta's paranoia would not permit the person to live. Same thing happened with the king before him. Out casting a child born with a power level of 10,000 and his father by death.

"Hey, who does he think he is, anyway? Mr. Mac Daddy?!"

Another saiyajin said. His name was Cabag. He had short, black hair, similar to Tyler's but it came up to a point on top like Vegeta's. He donned the same battle armor as Calflur. He was really no one special. He was only popular because he hung around with Trunks all the time and kissed his royal rear every chance he got. He was basically the average joe of the group.

"Man, he doesn't deserve a girl like her! She's TOO hot!"

      "Hmph. I sense that you are jealous," said the last one of the group. He had blue hair which gravity took effect on that went down to his shoulder. He wore earth clothes, which was rare on this planet. Mostly because he was a half breed like Tyler and Trunks. He was open minded and always voiced his on opinion, unafraid of the consequence. His name was Akira.

Cabag exclaimed, "What?! Jealous?! What do you mean by that?!"

Calflur reinforced, "Yeah, what's your problem, man?!"

Akira replied, "The way you talk, it seems like you WISH to BE Tyler. It's obvious that they are falling in love."

Trunks interjected, "Love? Akira, I can't believe that you believe in such childish nonsense."

Akira sighed, "Yes, of course I do. I have love for those closest to me."

Cabag laughed and pointed his thumb at Akira, "Listen to Mr. Sensitivity, over here, hehe..."

Calflur shook his head, "Akira, you're a fool."

Akira shrugged, "If understanding love is being a fool, then I'll gladly carry that label."

      Trunks narrowed his eyes as he looked at Tyler and Bete. They held each other passionately. Something inside Trunks boiled. It made him hate Tyler even more. Was it jealousy? Or was it just his subconscious reminding him to hate Tyler enough to kill him? Trunks couldn't figure it out. Why was he getting enraged by watching them like this?

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

Bete sighed contentedly as she looked up at Tyler who was looking up at the clouds, "Tyler?"

He looked away from the clouds and down at Bete, "Hmm?"

She smiled, "Remember the first time we met?"

Tyler nodded and chuckled a bit, "Yeah, you tried to beat me up..."

Bete giggled, "No, silly! I mean the VERY first time. When we were only kids."

Tyler shakes his head, "Not really. As far as I can remember, we've been friends. You remember?"

Bete replied sadly, "Nope. I was kinda hoping that you did. You know, not seeing you for so long made me sad. After you started leaving on missions with your dad, we lost contact. I thought that you didn't want to be friends anymore. I can't believe that I spent 3 whole days crying over it."

Tyler smiled, "YOU cried? So, miracles DO happen."

Bete gave Tyler an angry look, but she couldn't hold it for long, "You're still the sarcastic Tyler who was my best friend so long ago."

Tyler smiled, "You're still that tough, energetic girl I used to know. I wish I could stay, but my dad...."

She nodded, "I understand. You should go."

They both stood up facing each other.

Bete smiled, "I hope we can get together like this again soon."

"Me, too," said Tyler. He turns around and blasts off into the sky. She waves goodbye as he flies out of her view.

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

Trunks smirked, "Cabag and Calflur."

Calflur smirked, "'Sup, boss?"

Cabag grinned, "Yeah?"

Trunks said coldly, "Make sure Tyler doesn't get to train with his father today. Got it?"

Cabag grinned evilly, "Yeah, we got it."

Calflur smirked, "HE'S the one that's gonna get it, hehe..."

Both of them flew off in Tyler's direction.

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

Bete sighs and turns around to walk around the field some more. But when she did, Trunks stood right there.

"Fancy meeting you here."

Bete sneered at the prince, "What the hell do YOU want?"

Trunks smirked, "Now is that anyway to talk to your prince? I will give you a chance to apologize and all will be forgiven. A gift for being so beautiful."

Bete frowned with rage, "You GOTTA be joking! Unlike your little stooges, I could give a rat's ass WHO you are! You're nothing but a spoiled brat and a dictator in training!"

Trunks struck her hard across her cheek, dropping her onto one knee. "I think YOU need to be taught some respect, little girl."

Bete sneered as she lifted herself up to attack Trunks, "Why, you...!" Bete's foot came at Trunks' face at light speed, but he caught it in less than a heartbeat.

"Nice kick." He flipped her over by her ankle, causing her to slam into the ground.

   Akira shook his head and sighed. He wanted to help, but he didn't want to interfere with a super saiyajin. Also, going against royalty was basically a death sentence. He thought to himself, "This is ridiculous."

Bete growled as she made an attempt to get up again. Trunks dropped down on her with his knee on her back and pulled her arm upward to keep her from moving any further.

"You may be strong, but I am stronger. I'd hate to mess up that pretty face of yours, or harm your magnificent body. Just remember that you will be MINE. Tyler won't be able to save you from that fate." Trunks let her arm go and stood up.

Bete still rose once again. "TRUNKS! I'll...I'll...."

Trunks smirked, "You'll what?"

Bete lowered her head in rage as her fist clenched by her sides tightly as her teeth gritted. "I'll..kill you! I swear to Kami, Trunks. I SWEAR TO KAMI, I WILL KILL YOU!"

Trunks only scoffed, "You women are so very stubborn. Just remember what I said."

     Trunks and Akira flew off, leaving Bete there with her thoughts. She knew that she couldn't beat him all alone. But, she wouldn't have tried anything. But after talking to Tyler, she would always feel stronger and more able than she did before. She now hated Trunks even more. But what could she do?

**********************

Kakarrotto stood at his post in the castle, outside the closed door of Vegeta's throne room. He couldn't stand to be around all this. The king was so brutal to his servants. It made no sense. He wanted to kick down that door and declare battle against him, but it wasn't time. Not yet. His father's predictions were always on point. Never once was he ever wrong, let alone inaccurate. He predicted that Kakarrotto would achieve the goal of a super saiyajin. A smirk crept onto Kakarrotto's face. As he thought about it.

He thought to himself, "You were always right, father..."

Suddenly, there was a voice, "The hell's got you so chipper?"

Kakarrotto turned around to see another saiyajin with the same armor as himself.

"Nothing in particular, Turles. What are you doing here, anyway?"

Turles replied, "I'm your relief today, your shift's over."

Kakarrotto shrugged, "I didn't realized how late it was. I have some things to take care of."

Turles smirks, "I hope controlling that son of yours is one of them. You know how the king is about such things."

Kakarrotto nodded, "Yes, I know that. I didn't raise him to be so reckless."

**********************

 Meanwhile, Krillin and Yamcha are resting by a tree as Tomito is sitting on the grass, looking bored beyond comprehension. "Hey! You guys said you would play with me for the day!"

Yamcha yelled back in complete and utter annoyance, "We're RESTING!"

Tomito frowned, "But we've been playing for only 3 hours!"

Krillin growled, "We still need rest, kid!" Tomito whined, "But you've been resting for the past 3 minutes! You guys are OLD!"

Krillin sighed, "This kid is unbelievable..."

Yamcha nodded, "Yeah, a real rug rat from hell...."

Tomito sighed as he stood up and began dusting his pants off with his hands, "This is boring! I'm going home!"

Krillin shouted after him, "Wait up, kid!"

Tomito folded his arms and turned his back to them, while turning up his nose, "Only if you play with me some more." Krillin and Yamcha both looked at Tomito, then to each other. They both sighed at their situation and nodded. They both staggered up to begin this game once again.

Tomito grinned from ear to ear, "Race ya to my house!" He took off like a rocket as Yamcha and Krillin tried their best to followed by the airborne menace to all flying objects.

**********************

As Tyler soared through the skies to get to his father's favorite training spot, there was a blur of red the flashed by him and suddenly, there was Calflur, floating in front of him with a smirk and his arms folded over his chest, making Tyler come to a complete stop before him.

"Well, well. Looks like lover boy's all alone now."

Tyler sneered, "What in the hell do you want?"

Suddenly, Tyler felt a massive force strike his back and send him forward toward Calflur. Before he knew it, Tyler was sailing upward from Calflur's punt.

Cabag smirked as he flew up after him screaming, "C'mon, let's see what you've got!" As he got close enough, he threw a hard kick at Tyler, but Tyler seemed to fade away before his eyes.

Cabag looked around rapidly, "What the..!? Where'd he go?!" Suddenly, Tyler appeared right in front of him with a flying kick to his nose, knocking Cabag back to the ground, holding his nose.

Tyler sneered, "I don't know what made you think you could beat me like that, but I'm gonna make this quick."

Suddenly, a red blur began to dash all around Tyler as Calflur's laughter could be heard all around him. Tyler floated in that one spot with his arms down, looking straight ahead.

Calflur chuckled, "You can't keep up with me! You're gonna die, fool! HAHAHAHA!" Suddenly, Tyler quickly thrust his elbow outward behind him and there was Calflur behind Tyler, with an elbow jammed into his gut. His eyes were bulged out and his jaw was dropped.

Calflur groaned in pain, "How....could...you catch up...with ME???"

Tyler smirked, "Timing. I didn't NEED to catch up with you." Tyler performed a spinning roundhouse kick which knocked the red haired saiyajin downward with a tooth sailing out of his mouth and string of blood behind it. Calflur crashed to the ground with a loud crash, similar to the sound of an explosion. Tyler looked down at the to fallen saiyajin warriors and shook his head.

"Pathetic." He sighed as something just occurred to him.

"Uh-oh....I'm late!" Tyler powered up with a flaring aura and blasted off toward the training spot he and his father always went to.

*********************

Chi Chi smiled widely as everyone now had the same spiked up hair as saiyajin women. But that was only phase one, there was still the escape from this hellish planet of savages. She grabbed her trust crab mallet and began to hammer onto the table once more.

"Okay, everyone! Phase one is complete. We can now move around freely at least. As long as we stay out of the rain, we should be okay for now. Now what we really need to do to get moving is to actually figure out how to steal one of those space crafts. That's gonna require getting to know some of the people in that royal castle. I know I've mentioned this plan before, but if anyone has any new ideas now's the time to speak up."

All of the woman looked around at each other, completely out of any ideas for that. Chi Chi put her hands on her hips and sighed, "No ideas at ALL?"

Suddenly, Bulma raised her hand up slowly, "Um. I may have a tiny idea...it may or may not work."

Chi Chi smiled, "Well, go ahead, dear! Let us in on it!"

Bulma looked down at the table, "Well, when I was locked inside the castle, I met a saiyajin who was very kind and he is also one of the king's most trusted men. If I could find him, I could ask him to help us..."

One of the women in a blue kimono and long, red hair asked, "YOU were locked in the kings castle?!"

Bulma nodded, "Yes, for a very long time."

Chi Chi nodded with a look of determination, "Then, it's settled. We'll try to get the help of that guard from the castle. One of you and myself will go with Bulma to find him. We'll stake out the marketplace and wait for him to show up. As long as it doesn't rain, we should have no problem blending in."

**********************

Arriving in front of his house, Tomito looks back to see if the two men could keep up. Surprising enough, they weren't too far behind him as the landed only seconds after he did. Yamcha and Krillin, although having kept up, were absolutely exhausted from the long, extensive flight.

Tomito grinned, "This is my house! I'm gonna ask my mommy if you can stay, okay?" Tomito rushed into the house right after saying the last word in tha sentence.

Yamcha looked to Krillin who stood by his side, "So, how long to you think it'll take to find an actual Earth woman?"

Krillin sighed with a thoughtful look on his face, "Well, to tell the truth, it may take a few days to actually fi-"

"Excuse me," said a female voice.

Both warriors looked forward to see a woman with green, earth like hair. Earth like meaning that gravity was taking effect.

Tomito came running out, "Can they say, mommy? Can they? Pleeeeeeeeease?"

The woman gave them both a warm smile, "Well, I suppose you two can stay. But, you cannot stay here for free. Do you mind helping with chores during your stay?"

Krillin and Yamcha both smiled and said in unison, "Not at all, we'll be glad to help!"

The woman's smile grew, ear to ear, "How helpful you two are."

Yamcha shook his head, "No, you're being much more helpful by letting us stay."

Tomito jumped about happily, "Yay! My new friends are gonna stay!"

*************************************

Bete sulked in her depression. Her pride was now damaged goods. Trunks got his way only because who his father was. He wa always hiding behind that fact. But, he was also the strongest on the planet, next to Vegeta. One of the only two super saiyajins on the planet. She sat up against a tree, hiding her desire to cry with a hateful sneer and the wish to avenge her pride against Trunks.

"I should go home," she thought.

Bete sighed deeply as she slowly pick herself up from the ground. She looked up into the sky as she slowly began to lift from it. Then, she broke out into the sky at a high speed. As she flew, she went by a lake with metal parts floating about the surface. She shrugged, not really caring about what might have happened and continued on her way home.

**************************************

Kakarrotto smirked, "Is that all you have for me, boy?"

Tyler growled, "C'mon, pop! I'm worn out, that's all."

Kakarrotto grinned deviously as his hand was plowed into Tyler's gut in less than a heartbeat.

"Never tell your opponent what your condition is. Remember that!"

Tyler coughed a bit. "That's really low...could you at least TRY to be fair?"

Kakarrotto shook his head with a sigh, "We don't fight to be fair. We fight to WIN. As long as you win the fight, that's what is truly important. Now...attack me again!"

Tyler groaned as he continued his training. He wanted to go home and rest. This was all Trunks's fault. The purple haired, biscuit headed, snobbish, cowardly brat! This was definitely the longest day of Tyler's life.

After a few more minutes Kakarrotto looked at his son with a serious face, "Son, there is something that I must show you."

Tyler sighed, "Is this another "gullibility" test?"

Kakarrotto smirked, "Come with me." He took off into the air. Tyler sighed as he had no choice but to follow. The spot Kakarrotto was looking for was no more than a 5 minute flight away. Upon landing on a cliff, he turned his back to Tyler.

"Yo, pop. You okay?"

Kakarrotto's voice got a little deeper than usual, "What I'm about to show you is extremely top secret. You must not tell anyone no matter what. Got it?"

Tyler nodded, "Sure."

Kakarrotto growled deeply as he strained his muscles.

Tyler raised an eyebrow, "What's he up to now?"

Kakarrotto continued. His power aura flared up and seemed to get bigger and stronger. His spiked hair began to raise and defy gravity more than usual. Then, his aura flashed gold and then went back to white again. His hair did the same.

Tyler's jaw dropped, "What the?!" Kakarrotto let out a loud scream as his power aura exploded into a gold color and his hair faded into a blond hue. The raw power blew Tyler back into a wall. Tyler's eyes were now the size of dinner plates.

"Dad! You're a s-s-sup..er....."

Kakarrotto turned around and smirked at his son with emerald green eyes, "A super Saiyajin."

Tyler was speechless.

Kakarrotto's smirk grew into a grin, "What's the matter, boy? You look surprised!" Tyler was trying to pinch him self to see if he was dreaming or not. Nope. Wide awake. His father was a super Saiyajin. Kakarrotto slowly powered down and transformed back to his normal self. "I couldn't keep in that form for long without being detected by someone. You know how the king is about people rivaling his strength."

Tyler nodded, "Yeah, him AND his son...."

Kakarrotto gave Tyler a scolding look, "I heard about you and Trunks. I thought I taught you better than that. You're too reckless!"

Tyler lowered his head, "But it's not my fault, pop. HE started it...."

Kakarrotto exclaimed, "That's enough! It doesn't matter who started what. You'd better just cut it out before you put the rest of us in danger!"

Tyler nodded, "Yes, father...."

Kakarrotto turned away, "Okay. Now, we're going home."

*************************************

Meanwhile, the woman sipped her tea as Tomito, Yamcha and Krillin were gathered with her at the dinner table.

"Well, thanks for the thought, but I don't really need saving. Unlike some woman from earth, I'm happily married with a family. My husband treats me like a queen and we love each other very much."

Krillin's eyes widened, "Ya don't say.."

Yamcha then decided to be direct, "I have to know, miss. Have you seen a woman with blue hair named Bulma?"

She thought for a minute as she took another sip from her tea, "I've seen lots a blue haired woman, myself. But, one in particular was forced to mate with the king and have his child. Prince Trunks is what they named him. Yamcha's mind went to work, "Trunks? Bulma....wait a second!" Yamcha's fist hit the table. "It's not possible! He couldn't have....not to Bulma! Not to MY Bulma-chan!!!!"

Krillin looked at his companion, "Yamcha, calm down! I'm sure she's all right, just chill out."

Tomito watched the whole time and finally said, "The prince has stupid hair, I don't like him. My hair is cooler than his!" Reiko smiled at her little one, "Honey, that wasn't very nice." Tomito looked down at the floor, "Sorry, mom..."

Krillin looked at the woman, "Miss Reiko, I have a question."

She smiled back, "Please, just call me Reiko. What did you want to ask?"

Krillin continued, "I was wondering if you could tell us a bit about this planet and how things work around here. It'd be a drag to walk around with no idea of what's going on."

Reiko nodded, "I suppose it would be wise for you to know a little about this planet. Well, for starters, the saiyajin race is ruled by King Vegeta and his son, Trunks. They both have a unique ability to transform into a being call a "Super Saiyajin" which dramatically increases their power and strength. When this happens, their hair turns golden as does their power aura. This is why everyone is afraid to go up against them. Unfortunately, my son, Tyler, is currently having problems with Prince Trunks. I wish he would swallow his pride and just back down for once. I fear I may lose him."

Yamcha smiled, "Don't worry about it. I'm sure he knows what he's doing. Besides, Krillin and I will keep him out of trouble it the least we can do."

Krillin raised an eyebrow, "We will?"

Yamcha nudged his elbow while grinning at Reiko. Krillin realized he was supposed to play along, "I mean, we are! Heh, we'll keep an eye on 'im for you."

Tomito frowned, "But...who's gonna play with me?"

Reiko looked over to her son, "What about all your friends?" Tomito replied sadly, "They don't wanna play with me anymore 'cuz Tyler's in trouble with the Prince and they said playing without me is safer...."

***************************

Meanwhile, Bete sat up in her bed and thought for a while, "Tyler...he were always so good to me. The only person I met who treated me like something special....not even my own parents could make me feel the way he's made me felt."

Bete kept thinking about Tyler. The more she did, the more her faced turned a bright pink. Thinking of him made her blush a lot. She held her pillow close, as if cuddling it in Tyler's place. She kept thinking of how he held her earlier. He was so gentle with her. And his shyness seemed so cute to her. And Tyler was the first person she ever saw who stood up to Trunks without caring how badly he'd get hurt by him. She was slowly falling and love. Or was it just strong admiration? Either way, she couldn't wait to see Tyler again. Bete's eyes closed slowly as the last thing she saw was the ceiling. Her world faded to black as she fell into a deep sleep.

**************************

Kakarrotto and Tyler zoomed through the air about 20 feet from the ground to avoid being spotted by Trunks, for Tyler's sake.

Kakarrotto said, "Even though what you did was extremely risky. I'm proud of you, son."

Tyler raised an eyebrow, "Huh? And here I thought your impression of me was just a foolish boy."

Kakarrotto smirked, "Yeah, that is also true." Tyler sweat dropped as Kakarrotto continued to smirk. Suddenly, he stopped in mid flight and Tyler stopped a few seconds after, "Yo, pop! What's the hold up?"

Kakarrotto floated down to see what looked like two saiyajin women, but one of them had a extremely familiar face, which is why he stopped. He landed before them both. One of them had black, spiked hair, the other, blue.

Kakarrotto examined the blue haired one and made her out as soon as her face lit up with joy as she squealed, "Kakarrotto!" She practically tackled him.

Tyler floated down afterwards and shouted, "Hey, pop! Just what the heck do you think you're doin', huh?!"

Kakarrotto looked at Bulma, then at Tyler, then at the other woman present. She gave Kakarrotto a weird look, then raised her eyebrow, "Uh, Bulma? How exactly do you know this man?"

Tyler gritted his teeth, "Yeah, Bulma...how DO you know this man?!"

Bulma smiled, "It's nothing like that! He was just a great friend to me while I was captured in the castle. If it weren't for his encouragement, I probably would have given up hope."

Kakarrotto glared at Tyler, "I strongly suggest you keep your voice at an acceptable tone when you speak to me, boy."

Tyler flashed a big, dopey grin, "Gomen nasai."

Bulma looked to the woman she was with and said, "Chi Chi, this Kakarrotto."

Chi Chi nodded, "Nice to meet you Kakarrotto. Bulma's told me much about you. And I've heard lots about your son through local gossip." Kakarrotto glared at Tyler who only gave him the patented "Cloud Strife" shrug.

Kakarrotto still looked at Tyler and said, "Well, don't just stand there looking like a fool, introduce yourself!"

Tyler snapped out of his moment of idle dopiness and said in a tough, yet cool manner, "The name's Tyler."

Bulma giggled, "He reminds me of Yamcha a little."

Kakarrotto raised an eyebrow, "That guy you said your were in love with?"

Bulma blushed, "Well, I still am. I wonder what he's doing right now. I wonder if her's even thinking of me after all this time. I haven't seen him for years..."

Tyler took in everything in Bulma said and though to himself, "So she's in love....is that...what I'm feeling about Bete? Am I in love with her? Will I always be with her? Argh, so many questions!" Tyler didn't notice that The two women were about to depart. He snapped out of his thinking with the help of his father slapping him upside the head.

"Ow!" Tyler cried.

"Pay attention, boy. We're going home now." said Kakarrotto.

Tyler nodded while rubbing the back of his head, "Okay, next time, could you find another way to get my attention?"

Kakarrotto smirked, "Sure. Next time I'll be sure to use a ki blast."

Tyler sweat dropped.

**********************

Back at the palace, Trunks exclaimed, "WHAT?! You let him defeat you both?!" Calflur and Cabag lowered their heads in shame.

"He was stronger than we anticipated," said Calflur.

Akira commented, "It looks like he has more power than he lets on."

Trunks frowned, "That's what I get for sending BOYS to do a MAN'S job. I'll just have to finish him myself and that girl he was with will be MY mate." Akira stood there with a straight look on his face and his hands behind his back, completely silent.

Trunks looked to his lackeys, "Very well. Then I will take him on myself. I'll schedule a duel and the prize will be that girl. A fight to the death. Trunks began to smile evilly as he looked over his balcony, "Mock my words, Tyler. The final conflict is at hand. Your DEATH!"
