"What the hell is going on out there?" Mizuki was freaking out something fierce, as she heard yelling and explosions coming from the nearby main chamber. She had no clue that those noises were the cavalry come to rescue them.

"Trust me, Mizuki, you really don't have anything to worry about." Though she couldn't understand them, Bulma had also heard the voices in the main chamber. She immediately recognized Vegeta's voice. "It's deffinately Vegeta. I'm pretty sure Krillin is with him, but there's one other voice I just can't place. Whoever it is, I hope they're on our side. It sounded like Vegeta was being pretty calm with him."

"Is that good?"

"It's hard to tell with Vegeta. But it's deffinately better then that short temper of his." Filled with a new hope, Bulma tried to loosen her bonds and free her hands, hoping to escape and get to her beloved Prince...

His eyes flashed around, scanning the room for signs of anything out of the ordinary. His senses keen, his instincts alert, he calculated the data that his instincts sent his mind. Though highly evolved now, his kind still took its roots to heart, and made use of the skills of their ancestors.

Vegeta's mind went into automatic pilot as he looked about, trying to pinpoint what he knew was there, but couldn't quite see. 'Where are you, Amazon. I know you're here.' The uneasy silence he heard was proof that his companions had realized the same thing. And then, as was often his custom, he broke that silence.

"You have something I want, Amazon! I've come to take it back. The way I see it, you have two choices. You show yourself and hand her over to me with out incident, and I may let you live to go back with my brother here to rot in a prison. Or you could do me the wonderful favor of showing yourself, putting up resistance, and giving me half a reason to blast you to ashes after I've beaten you into submission."

"Damn, Vegeta, that was pretty harsh." Krillin, sweating profusely and staring blankly at his partner, stood aghast upon hearing the Saiyan's words.

For a few seconds, Vegeta's gaze fixated on Krillin, and his face contorted in obvious disgust. In an instant though, his mood changed, and he suddenly smirked in his trademark fashion and managed to grunt what sounded like laughter.

As he laughed, his senses caught hold of the Amazon's position. His laughter and smirking ceased almost immediately after he had felt it, and he pinpointed the enemy in an instant. He was right...

"BEHIND YOU!" He dove at Rico with all he had and barely knocked him out of the way as the Amazon's huge arm cut through the air where the Saiyan's neck had been only a second before. Had he actually been there when the blow came, most likely he'd be without his head.

When they hit the ground, each went his seperate way and recovered. Vegeta bound over behind the creature, while Rico landed eye to eye with him, ten meters seperating the two at best. "Thanks, Vegeta."

"Whatever. You should have been paying attention." Deep within him, Vegeta prided himself on the job he had done. If this Saiyan was turely his brother, then he had shown him as much honor as he could. 'I guess doing good does have it's rewards.'

Bulma's mind struggled to comprehend what she was hearing. Vegeta had screamed, and someone, whoever he was, was actually thanking him for it. "The fight must have started. Come on, Mizuki, we've got to get out of here." She began to work feverantly at her bindings, trying anything she could to break free of them.

Mizuki was having more luck due to her smaller frame, and soon her hand slipped out of one of the restraints. "Wow. I didn't think I could do that. Not bad, eh Bulma?"

Bulma looked at Mizuki, who was sitting up on the table after freeing herself, admiring the job she had just done. "Um, that's great, Mizuki, but could you help me out here?" She looked at her now free companion with a little bit of respect. Bulma had little doubt that Mizuki had never done anything like this before, and instead of being a frightened maiden, she tried her best and succeeded..

"Sorry, Bulma. Just got a little carried away." She hopped off of her table and went to work freeing the Capsule Princess. Once that was done, the two crept over to the door to watch what was going on in the chamber where the boys were fighting.

"You're right, Vegeta. He should pay more attention. But if you'll excuse me, I have to take care of this other monkey boy first. I have other plans for you, Saiyan Prince. Right now, though, I have a small score to settle." The Amazon paid no mind to Vegeta, his gaze set solid on Rico.

The Amazon leader was much differant from the others. He was huge to say the least, and towered over all of the heroes. His muscle mass was extraordinary, and he was cut like the Adonis himself. Vegeta stood in a sort of invisible awe at the sight. He wouldn't show it, but inside his mind, he was truely impressed by this creature.

"Well, if you manage to get past Rico here, you'll have me to deal with. And it won't be pretty, that's for sure!"

"Quiet down, monkey. You're not even a Super Saiyan! You'll be no challange to me at all. I have absolutely nothing to worry about."

"Why you! I'll..."

"You'll what, Vegeta. Now, go do whatever you want. I suggest seeing your little human friend before I'm done with this military reject. I'll soon be having my way with the both of you."

Vegeta could only stand in shock. Not only had he been insulted, but the creature had insulted the one thing that made him happy. This thing was trying to take away what he'd longed for all his life. His mind raged but his body stood still, unable to break the code of honor and attack when he knew that the fight was for Rico alone at this stage. In the back of his mind, he knew that no matter what, he would destroy this loudmouthed Amazon. But first, he had someone to save.

"Come on, baldie. We have other matters to attend to." Vegeta prepared to move out and find the girls, turning toward the entrance they had made, when he suddenly sensed something. In his mind, he could have sworn that he heard Bulma saying that she was behind him...

"Vegeta, you baka, I'm right behind you," Bulma whispered as she watched from the doorway at the end of the main chamber. She watched as he and Krillin made their way to the opposite end of the hall. She noticed, though, that he had stopped, as if he had heard her. She watched as he turned and headed straight for her location, covering the great distance as fast as he could.

"Bulma, what's going on? I don't want to look." Mizuke leaned against the wall next to Bulma, afraid to see what was going on outside. This whole ordeal, while it had made her a little stronger personally, made her wonder what kinds of things happen around Krillin on a regular basis.

"Vegeta and Krillin are coming this way. We're going to get out of here, Mizuki. I knew Vegeta wouldn't let me down. But it's weird. It's almost like he heard me when I told him I was right behind him. I didn't even say it very loud." The irony was just too perfect to be dismissed. Bulma wondered if it was honestly possible. 'Is what Chi Chi told me true? It sounded crazy at the time. But this, this is hard to ignore. Could we be...' Her thoughts were interupted as Vegeta and Krillin arrived at the door and entered in a huff.

The Prince stood there for a moment, looking at Bulma with empty eyes. It had been so long since she was taken from him, and all he had seen was creatures and battles. In his mind, the connection was made. He knew why he had heard her voice telling him where she was. She had opened her mind to him for the first time. Their bonding had begun. His mind snapped back to the situation at hand, however, and he allowed his emotions to take a back seat.

"Are you alright, Bulma?" That was all he managed.

"Yeah, we're fine. But what took you so long, you baka? We went nuts in here! You should hear what they have planned for us, it's horrifying..."

"What the hell are you talking about? What did they have planned for us?"

"Oh boy, this isn't gonna be good." Krillin, who was tending to Mizuki, looked at Vegeta with a bit of fear in his eyes.

"What isn't going to be good? What is this big secret that everyone but me seems to know!"
