them carried himself ... he shivered at the sight. Bulma, on the other hand, was immensely impressed by the technical devices, the computers, the mechanical doors ... actually of everything could!The staff, the material, the time ... She resolved to try herself on such a large project, should they ever return to Earth safely ... Vegeta, on the other hand, didn't pay much attention to the surroundings and the guns went To put it mildly, he missed his ass too. He concentrated on not giving in to the impulse and attacking their guards ... Now they got into an elevator. One of the pirates pressed one of the buttons and they were shot up at great speed. You could feel the acceleration ... Bulma was convinced that they were even faster than it first appeared. When the elevator doors opened again after this fast journey, even Vegeta was spit away and for a moment he forgot all his murderous thoughts ... They were on the bridge of the gigantic ship, and this alone was twice the size of their own ship ! In the back of the bridge, where they were just now, a three-dimensional projection of this star system was floating ... just crazy!And next to this projection stood a young woman who was clearly different from everyone else present. And now she looked up from the projection and from one of them to the other ... when she looked down at Dende, she had to smile. Really cute, the little Namek ... A little Namek, a woman and ... WHAT ?! She knew the guy! No, impossible ... this one was way too young. But he was a Saiyan, without a doubt ... Although the tail was missing, the hair of a Saiyan was at least as distinctive. His face ... She told herself again that it was impossible. This one couldn't possibly be the King of the Saiyans ... King Vegeta would have to be much older. But didn't he also have a son with the same name? She decided to wait until they had introduced themselves to this question. It was time to say hello to your 'guests' ... "I have no idea who you are, but obviously these guys have something against you.That makes you sympathetic to me ... and interesting. Who are you? "Bulma took a deep breath ... at least they didn't seem in immediate danger. She decided to answer for all of them." This is Dende ... My name is Bulma. And that grumpy bear over there is Vegeta. We're looking for a friend ... also a Namekian like Dende, only much bigger ... actually we were looking for something else, but ... "What was this woman doing ?! The guys didn't have to know everything right away ... Vegeta interrupted her. "Shut up, woman! They don't need to know everything! "Now the leader of the pirates was 100% sure ... The guy WAS a Saiyajin. And his name was actually Vegeta ... She decided to dispel her last doubts and simply ask him." So you are Vegeta? But not the son of King Vegeta ?! "Vegeta perked up and interrupted his argument with Bulma, which everyone present was already delighted with." Yes! Something against...?!"He tried not to let it show, but he was genuinely amazed that this woman seemed to know his father ... Now it was her turn to be amazed ... That was actually Prince Vegeta! ... "How do you know my father ?! "The question sounded a lot more aggressive than it was meant to be. But she thought nothing of it ... that was the Saiyan way. She had never heard of someone who was polite or friendly. So she decided to him to answer. "We used to have 'business' to do with each other ... at that time it was about Freezer. But as I heard, this problem has now been resolved ... in two ways. "She was referring to the destruction of the planet Vegeta and Freezer's death ... both made Vegeta angry." So ... if I remember correctly, you wanted to tell something before he interrupted you. Well what was it about? "So Bulma told her story ... always with one eye on Vegeta, who looked like he was going to explode any moment.But he remained surprisingly calm, and so Bulma was able to finish her story without a break. The pirate captain looked thoughtful ... She couldn't really help them with the Kaioshin and everything related to it. But as for the Namekian friend ... "You say Temm-Ra? It would have taken you two weeks to get there with your ship ... Your friend would have been gone a long time ago ..." Dende and Bulma swallowed. They hadn't known that ... how were they going to find Piccolo now? But their question was answered before they asked. "I want to know what these guys wanted from you anyway. We'll take you there with our ship ... it'll only take about three days. We'll be there for sure before your boyfriends. And don't believe that you guys are me I'll stay with you until I know what's so special about you ... "Maybe not EVERYTHING went wrong after all ... The conversation ended with the female pirate captain calling them Sita introduced them and instructed their people to assign them quarters on the ship.A little later the three of them were walking behind one of the pirates through the ship ... only this time Dende and Bulma even had a good feeling. Vegeta was still unusually quiet. As if he was thinking about something ... and he actually did. He wondered how he knew this woman from, that she knew his father, was already clear ... but somehow she also seemed familiar to him. Just why His thoughts were interrupted when they reached the quarters intended for them ... Wow! Not bad ... Quite large, several windows through which you could see the stars ... and a superbly equipped bathroom. Bulma finally felt at home here ... a relaxing bath was exactly what she needed after her trip to this dusty planet ...




So while the accommodation of Vegeta, Bulma and Dende could safely be described as luxurious, Piccolo was not doing so well ... His situation had not improved a bit, on the contrary.The decrepit transporter he was on was now floating in space with a machine failure ... and had been for three days. Up until now no one had considered it necessary to provide food and water to the 'cargo'. Piccolo couldn't care less about the former, but no water ... that was bad. From the conversations between the guards, he had gathered that a repair ship was expected to arrive every hour. But he didn't really care ... actually he didn't care at the moment. He was way too exhausted ... and too hungry or thirsty. If he could get his hands on Vegeta now ... it wouldn't be a word fight ... if at least he was left alone ... but apparently the guards enjoyed teasing him. If you could call it that. In any case, they had a particularly keen eye on him ... he just had to flinch and one of the guys was standing next to him with his wand.And he used it too ... And not even to talk about the many other little 'niceties' that were given to him. More than once, Piccolo was about to howl. And never before had he been so close to collapsing ...




Three days ... actually they went by really quickly, only when they thought of Piccolo did the time drag on like chewing gum. When Bulma used this phrase, she got nothing but uncomprehending looks from her two companions ... neither Dende nor Vegeta knew what chewing gum was. Bulma had to smile ... Dende didn't know that was one thing, but Vegeta had been living on earth for so long, and yet there were always things that she took for granted, but that he didn't know. For the first two days she was still wondering where Vegeta was all the time ... then she found out that there was a G-room on board this ship. It didn't take her much imagination to guess WHERE Vegeta was gone ... she just hoped he didn't scrap this one as quickly as his private one at the Capsule Corp.The guy was really incorrigible! At least it didn't occur to him to do anything here. Now they were back in the hall next to their ship and were about to board ... Temm-Ra was reached and now the search for Piccolo should begin. Bulma had worried about G-space for nothing. This one had even withstood some extra strong final flashes ... actually she should ask about the construction plans, it would save her a lot of work in the future. "Not so fast ... I said you wouldn't get rid of me that fast!" That was Sita ... Did she always have to sneak up on me? Even Vegeta had been frightened ... She got into the ship with them now, Bulma's questioning looks prompted her to explain. "I still want to know what they think of you ... Besides, you won't find your way down there." With that she went backwards, leaned her back against a wall and crossed her arms over her chest ... Piccolo had stood there too, Dende thought sadly.When Bulma started the ship and carefully headed for the now reopened gate, Vegeta could not take his eyes off her new companion ... The posture ... As she stood there ... He had never been so sure that he knew her as he did at that moment. The flight down to the planet only took a few minutes ... and this time Bulma finally made a soft landing. There were real landing bays in this spaceport ... and all in all it looked a lot better here than on this other, nameless planet. The city could really be described as such here, too. But Sita was right ... they wouldn’t find their way around here alone. It was she who determined her first station. The registry for cargo ships ... It turned out that the only ship Piccolo could be on would be four days late due to an engine failure, normally it would have arrived here tomorrow.That meant waiting ... so they started looking for a place to stay. There were several hotels around the spaceport and its buildings, but most of them were ... well, of some sort. Or at least it was customary that some rooms were also rented to women from the horizontal trade ... The better hotels in the city center, however, charge too much, so the four of them had no choice but to stay in one of the cheaper ones. Sita already knew exactly in which ... apparently she was not here for the first time and knew her way around quite well. Vegeta had long since given up being upset about
