****MATURE READERS ONLY PLEASE****
On Planet Vegeta Diego was waiting to hear from Nicole on how her exam had went. He was outside in a flower garden. One of the servants, dressed in grey robes, ran out to him. “Prince Diego!” the old saiyan servant said, “King Vegeta would like a word with you in his study!”
Diego sighed and thanked the servant. He walked inside and down the dark hall to his grandfather’s study. He opened the door and walked inside and closed the door behind him.
Inside, King Vegeta was sitting at his elegantly wooden desk reading a piece of literature. “Sit down,” he said to Diego without looking up.
Diego walked to the sofa in front of the desk and sat down. “You wanted to see me, grandfather?” he asked.
King Vegeta put down what he was reading and looked at Diego. “Tell me, Diego, how long do you plan to stay without a mate?”
Diego stared at his grandfather with a blank expression. He then said, “I’m not sure. I mean, after Silvia, I’ve lost all interest in that type of stuff.”
King Vegeta grinned at Diego’s words. “Is that so?”
Diego nodded.
“Well it just so happens that you are a prince of saiyans, Diego, and with that comes certain duties that are expected of you.”
“I’m not required to marry, grandfather.” Diego was growing impatient with the topic.
“True, however, in the event to make peaceful relations with rival nations who want to avoid wars, it becomes a necessity.”
“What do you mean, grandfather?” Diego was growing worried. What had his grandfather done?
“I have recently had to make an agreement earlier upon peaceful negotiations with another nation and we have agreed upon a marriage between you and their princess.”
Diego was speechless and didn’t know what to say.
At that moment the door to the study opened and in walked Vegeta.
“Ah, my son!” exclaimed King Vegeta.
“Hello, father,” said Vegeta.
“Sit down, I was just discussing with Diego about a new responsibility he has assigned.”
“I refuse,” said Diego.
King Vegeta chuckled and said, “So you would rather go to war?”
Diego went silent again.
“What exactly does he have to do?” asked Vegeta.
“Either marry the princess or go to war with a certain nation.”
“Why not make the offer to Bardy?” Vegeta suggested.
“It has to be Diego,” said King Vegeta.
Diego slumped down into the sofa and covered his face with his hands while he tried to think. What do I do? he thought.
“You have a few weeks to make a final decision, my grandson.”
Later that night Nicole was on a cargo space ship she had snuck aboard. She wore black baggy pants and a shirt to hide certain features that made it obvious she was a girl. She fell asleep for a few hours as the ship made its way to Planet Vegeta. She awoke when the ship slowed down and landed on Planet Vegeta. She snuck out of the ship quickly so not to be noticed by anyone. It was as if the sun had just set. Nicole went to walk on a street not too far away. She wanted to surprise Diego, since he had mentioned that he was staying on Planet Vegeta for a few months. Only problem is she didn’t know where the palace was. She was somewhat a little scared of the saiyans walking past her, but she knew she had to ask about to see where the palace was located.
“You look lost, boy,” came a gruff voice behind Nicole.
Nicole turned around and came face to face with a muscular saiyan male with light brown short cut hair. “Uh…ye-yes,” Nicole stuttered, “I’m trying to find the-the palace.”
The saiyan laughed and said, “What business do you have at the palace, boy? Hey, guys, let’s show this kid how to get to the palace!”
Two other saiyans walked up behind Nicole. One had black spiky hair and was the same height as Nicole and the other was taller than the saiyan who came up to Nicole first with red hair. They were snickering, which were sending chills up and down Nicole’s spine.
“Actually, guys,” said Nicole, laughing nervously, “I think I can find it by myself, but thanks.”
Nicole tried to walk away, but the original saiyan put his arm around Nicole’s shoulders. “Nonsense!” he exclaimed, “We’ll take you there!”
Nicole had no choice at that point but to go with the three saiyans.
Vegeta walked after Diego, who was walking furiously to his room. “Diego!” he called after him.
Diego stopped and turned to face his father. “Did you know?” he asked Vegeta, angrily.
Vegeta looked at him in surprise and said, “Of course I didn’t!”
Out of anger, Diego turned and punched a hole in the wall. It was taking all he could to control himself. “He’s punishing me,” he muttered through clenched teeth.
Diego!
Diego froze. “Nicole?”
“What?” asked Vegeta, raising his eyebrow at his son.
“Shh!” hissed Diego. He closed his eyes and concentrated on Nicole. Nicole? he thought to her telepathically.
I think I’m in trouble, Diego, came Nicole’s voice in his head, Three saiyans are saying they are showing me to the palace, but I’m pretty sure they aren’t and I can’t get away from them.
What? How? And what do you mean?
I’m here, Diego, on Planet Vegeta.
“What the hell?” Diego said out loud.
“What is it, Diego?” Vegeta asked Diego.
“It’s Nicole,” said Diego, “She’s here. I’ve got to locate her!”
The three saiyans took Nicole down a dark silent alleyway and stopped at a door. “We have to go through here to get to the palace, kid,” the saiyan with light brown hair said to Nicole. He opened the door and pushed her in. Nicole tripped and fell on the ground. The three saiyans entered the dusty empty room and shut the door.
Nicole clenched her fists and pushed up to standing. She looked back at the saiyans. “I knew there was something fishy about you three,” she muttered. Diego, please find me quickly, she sent the thought telepathically to Diego, I’m scared they may kill me.
The brown haired saiyan glanced at the other two and said, “Time to teach this outsider what happens when a non-saiyan trespasses on our planet. Hold him, boys.”
The saiyans quickly grabbed each arm of Nicole. “No,” she said, trying to get out of their grips.
The brown haired saiyan walked over to Nicole and slapped her in the face. Nicole saw stars. He then punched her in the abdomen. Nicole cried out in pain. “Let him drop,” said the brown haired saiyan. The other two saiyans let go of Nicole and she fell to the ground grasping her abdomen.
Diego…please…find me…, she thought telepathically to Diego.
Where are you, Nicole? came Diego’s voice in her head.
Diego and Vegeta were flying over the city close to where the space ships landed. “Where could she be?” muttered Vegeta.
“Let’s land,” said Diego, “I need to concentrate on her life force energy.”
Diego and Vegeta landed. Diego closed his eyes and concentrated hard, feeling for Nicole. Where are you, Nicole? he thought telepathically.
Dark…alleyway…empty…Diego…please…I can’t, came Nicole’s voice, weakly crying.
“Damn it!” said Diego out loud.
“Well?” said Vegeta.
Diego tried again and then, “There!” He felt Nicole’s energy, fading. “Follow me! Quickly!” He said to Vegeta. He quickly flew up into the air and flew not too far away with Vegeta following, to the dark alleyway he felt her energy in.
The other two saiyans were laughing watching the brown haired saiyan continue to beat and kick Nicole. Nicole was barely hanging onto life.
“Please,” she whispered, “Please.”
“Maybe you should just finish him now,” said the tall saiyan.
“Hmph!” exclaimed the brown haired saiyan, “Perhaps you are right!”
He got down on the floor and straddled Nicole. “Please…don’t,” Nicole cried weakly.
That’s when the saiyan noticed that Nicole was a girl. He laughed and said to the other saiyans, “Hey, guys! We have a girl here!”
Nicole clenched her eyes shut.
“Ooo!” said the shorter saiyan, “More fun!”
The brown haired saiyan snickered and felt Nicole’s breasts. “No…,” cried Nicole.
“Don’t you worry, girl,” said the brown haired saiyan, “I’m going to kill you first and then me and my pals here are gonna have our fun.” He put his hands around her neck.
A tear went down Nicole’s cheek as she telepathically said, Diego…I love you…
The saiyan then tightened his grip on Nicole’s neck and started strangling her.
Suddenly the door burst open and in walked Diego and Vegeta.
Diego saw the saiyan on top of Nicole, Vegeta was the first to act. He kicked the saiyan off of Nicole. Diego ran over to her and dropped down beside her. He looked at her beaten body and face. “I’m here,” he whispered to her.
Nicole looked up at Diego. “You…came…,” she whispered and then closed her eyes and passed out.
Diego’s eyes quickly turned black. “Don’t you bastards move,” he said to the three saiyans. He then stood up and faced them.
“Pr-Prince Diego!” the tall saiyan stuttered.
“Whose shitty idea was this?” Diego said, eyeing each of them murderously.
The tall and short saiyans looked down to the floor.
“No one is claiming responsibility?” Diego started pacing in front of them. “Guess I’ll hold all three of you equally responsible then.”
“It was I, Prince!” The brown haired saiyan admitted.
Diego grinned at the saiyan. “Good,” he said. He then disappeared and reappeared behind the short and tall saiyans, rammed his hands into their backs, extracted their hearts, and crushed them while the two saiyans dropped dead to the floor.
The brown haired saiyan turned around and became shocked at finding his comrades on the floor dead. He looked at Diego and dropped to his knees. “Please, Prince Diego!” he begged, “Have mercy on me, please!”
“Mercy?” said Diego, laughing, “Did you show her mercy when you beat her up, almost killing her?”
“I didn’t know she was a girl!” the saiyan cried, “I could’ve sworn she was a boy! I didn’t discover she was a girl until I was about to strangle her! I felt her breasts and-.”
“You did what? You touched her where?” Diego was livid. He walked to the saiyan and picked him up by his neck, strangling him. “You will die now,” he said to the saiyan, “A most horrendous death!”
“No!” the saiyan gasped, “Please!”
Diego yelled as he pulled the saiyan’s heart out after he ripped through the saiyan’s chest with his hand and then crushed the saiyan’s neck and dropped him onto the floor. Diego looked at the bloody heart in his hand and crushed it as well. He then used an energy attack and incinerated all three saiyans into nothing.
It always surprised Vegeta how savage Diego could actually be when he was angry. He looked at his son covered in the three saiyans’ blood. Diego faced Vegeta, his eyes still black.
“Are you finished?” Vegeta asked Diego.
Diego nodded. “Just let me try to calm down a bit,” he said.
Vegeta nodded and said, “You do that, but we need to get her out of here.”
Diego calmed himself by closing his eyes and taking deep breaths. When he opened his eyes again they were back to their normal blue color.
