Sorry guys I did post this back in Novmeber but for some reason it didn't show up so I'm reposting it. I'm planning on using this time to start back on my fics and get them finished. Wish me luck. Bold stand for thoughts. Bold and italic telepaths.

Chapter 11: Aftermath

BBBBBBBBBBB

Frieza's Ship

The hatch to the pod slowly opened as Zarbon frown getting out.

"Welcome back Zarbon, Frieza requests that you see him when you arrive back." One of the technicians told him as he left the docks.

Zarbon cursed at this, anyone who knew Frieza knew that his requests were more of an order than anything else and only someone with a death wish would ignore his request. Making his way down the hall he noticed that he practically knew none of the men walking about, and curse some more. It was clear that Frieza was still in a foul mood. Bracing his self he went inside the control room and the smell of burning remains could still be smelled in the deathly quiet room. The small crew in there barely made a move wanting to stay out of Frieza site. Slowly Zarbon headed towards Frieza.

"How was your mission Zarbon?"

"It was a success Lord Frieza, it took a little longer than I expected but the planet is ready to be sold."

"I didn't think it would have taken you so long to get rid of such filth."

"Neither did I but they were like little pests that wouldn't die."

"Perhaps you could tell me why you took such a mission, I didn't order you to do so and let's face it Zarbon you are not the type to get their hands dirty not when you can help it."

"I'm sorry if my actions displease you Lord Frieza." Zarbon replied thinking quickly and bowing. He took a breath a few minutes later when he realized he was still breathing.

Frieza had been on a rampage ever since he'd learn from Zarbon just how far the prince had come with his training. While it still wasn't a threat to Frieza, it was a clear sign that the longer the prince ran free the better his chances of surpassing Frieza and now everyone was beginning to see it. Several of Frieza clients were now having second thoughts about his services and a few of them had begun to try to severe their ties to him until things blew over. Such as the group that Zarbon had just took out.

"I want you to send word to my men. Tell them that if Kui has not returned in two weeks he is to be considered a traitor and I want his head sent back to me personally."

"Yes Lord Frieza." Zarbon answered bowing as he quickly left the control room. He made only one stop to take up a few more missions before he relayed Frieza new orders. Until Frieza calmed down Zarbon would be sure to stay off the ship as much as possible, he'd live longer that way. Besides, this way he could put those seeds he'd just received to good use.

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

"I can't believe it they're retreating." Exclaimed Yamcha watching at the remaining cazadors retreated.

Bulma, Chichi, and Krillen agreed then cursed when they saw that their ship had taken some pretty hard hits.

"Bulma we do have enough spare parts to fix this right?" Krillen asked.

"Let's hope so Krillen, otherwise we are in deep shit." Bulma stated. If Corn knew what was best for him he wouldn't bother her for the rest of their mission.

"Come on let's clean the mess inside the ship."

"You guys okay." Tien asked.

"Yeah we're fine but the ship has seen better days." Yamcha answered.

Before Tien could comment, he was suddenly sent crashing to the ground from Vegeta's punch.

"VEGETA, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!!?" Bulma shouted.

Krillen and Yamcha was about to attack but was stop by Piccolo out stretched hand. Chichi and Chiaotzu quickly flew down to check on Tien who wasn't dead merely unconscious, meanwhile the other sayjins had arrive and gathered around their prince ready to attack if need be even though they were tired and out matched.

"Explain your self Vegeta." Piccolo stated.

"Listen up you morons because I'm only saying this once. Don't ever disobey any order I give you when we're under attack. I WILL NOT be sent to the next dimension because of idiots like you screwing up things."

"I think you got us confuse with your lackeys behind you, we are not your subjects or men at your disposal. He isn't one of you." Yamcha growled pointing to Tien on the ground.

"I know that because if he was he would be dead right now. Now here are how things are going to go: whenever we're 'exploring' or what ever bullshit you guys tend to do the woman is in charge. But if and when we are attack, I will be in command, are we clear?" Vegeta asked.

"We're clear Vegeta." Bulma answered before her friends could object.

Maybe it was the tone of his voice, the look in his eyes, or the way his men slowly moved away from him, but whatever it was Bulma were convinced that if she hadn't agreed at that moment Vegeta would have lost it. Vegeta only glance at her before looking at the rest of her crew waiting on their response. Hearing her answer for them, they slowly nodded their head in agreement, but in their minds they knew that they would have a talk with her later when things were less hectic.

"Be sure to inform three eyes when he awakes from his slumber, now back to the matter at hand." Vegeta pondered taking in their ship and the surrounding area.

"Can the ship be move?"

"Not really, it too damaged to try to move it on its own power so you have to move it by force." Bulma answered.

"We need to hide the ship, our enemies knows it's our only way out of here."

"I can cloak it, but it going to require a lot of power." Bulma stated.

"That won't do us any good, as long as they can track our power levels they can always find us." Vegeta stated.

"What about using a decoy?" Bulma asked.

"What do you have in mind?"

"I have a decoy capsule of my ship."

"Col, Arroz,'ocultar terreno' now! The nameck will accompany you. Report back when you have something." Vegeta commanded.

The two quickly shot off heading for the mountain range that wasn't to far away while a second later Piccolo shot off after grumbling.

"Alright woman, prepare the ship to be move. When they report back in we will move the ship to its new location. The decoy ship will stay here with my men. If they attack us we'll let them think they have the upper hand by destroying the decoy." Vegeta smirked.

"What about them." Yamcha ask pointing to the fallen cazadors on the ground out cold. While Vegeta and Bulma were coming up with a plan the rest of them had gather the cazadors and brought them outside. The next instant all that was left was a burning hole. The Z fighters stood shocked staring at Vegeta outstretched hand. A second later Vegeta felt a hand slap his face.

"HOW COULD YOU!" Bulma cried.

Vegeta men quickly charged but stop at his cold glare.

"They were the enemy, they attack us, letting them go to attack us again is not something I will allow." Vegeta voiced as he spat blood from his mouth.

"And I told you I wasn't out here to kill anyone."

"And you didn't. I killed them. Listen woman that no kill policy of yours is only going to get you and your crew dead, because out here only the strong survive, and we don't do it by letting our enemies go free. Or have you forgotten what happen on Cytron. What do you think they are going to do when they regroup, stand back and let us 'explore'? Surely you cannot be that stupid as to think that Frieza is just going to leave you alone?"

"That's enough Vegeta you'd made your point." Krillen voiced.

"No I haven't. Get this through your head woman, people are after you, and they are going to continue to come for you until they have you, and there is only one way I know that will stop them cold."

"Don't think I'm just going to stand here and let you slaughter other races Vegeta." Bulma threaten.

"Whatever." Vegeta stated as he stalked away.

"Come on Bulma we need to get the ship ready to move." Chichi stated glaring at the sayjin.

Nodding she followed her friend inside to prepare the ship.

"It's about damn time you reported in boy, what's going out there?" King Vegeta yelled.

He and Bardock listen as Vegeta briefed them on his situation.

"How long before the ship can be repaired?" Bardock ask

"It should be done in a couple of day and then we can be off this hell hole." Vegeta lied.

"That's it, this mission is over, you and your men are to stay put until we arrive." King Vegeta ordered.

"No."

"Excuse me."

"I said no, the mission will continue on as plan, only when the woman has completed her task will we return, you can come to Luna all you want but we will be long gone by then."

"Now listen –

Static blared as their connection was purposely severed.

"He's got a point sire." Bardock voiced.

Immediately he felt hand crushing his throat.

"You were saying." King Vegeta questioned.

"If the prince comes back before the mission is over the others will see it as a failure, and those with the mutiny will no doubt use it to their advantage." Bardock warned.

"So are you saying we should leave him there?"

"Only if you believe that Prince Vegeta knows what he is doing." Bardock answered.

At least I hope so otherwise I'm as good as dead.

"……………Very well contact the other commanders and let them know that everything is fine."

"And shall we change course as well."

"For now we will, but keep an eye on them." King Vegeta commanded before heading out the room.

It had taken a few hours but finally Bulma had the ship ready to be moved. After Piccolo, Col, and Arroz return group quickly move the ship to it new location with Vegeta men and Chiaotzu staying behind to cover as a decoy.

"Amazing, they turned a mountain into some huge jack-o-lantern." Krillen commented looking at the mountain.

They had cut the mountain in half and had dug out enough of the bottom half so that the ship could be hidden and the group even had some room to walk around outside the ship.

"We don't have time for you to admire this place, this plan will only work as long as the enemy has no idea what we are doing, so get going!" Vegeta demanded.

As soon as the ship was safety in place they place the top half of the mountain back in place before entering it through a hole made earlier.

"All right for the time being you guys needs to keep your power as low as possible." Vegeta ordered.

"Why?" Yamcha asked.

"The enemy can't find this place as long as your power stays below a certain level. My men will keep theirs up to help confuse them."

Once he was sure they were okay Vegeta left to check on his men allowing the Z fighters to express their opinions about Bulma earlier actions.

"What were you thinking agreeing to Vegeta demands?" Yamcha started.

"I was thinking that he didn't need to be pushed any further than necessary, I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one there that saw that look in his eye. He was losing it, so I made my choice."

"Just admit it Bulma you don't think we can handle him." Tien stated.

"I don't have to. You guys already know the truth just like you should also know that we need to continue our journey which can only be done with their cooperation. Look I don't like this no more than you do and NO I do not intend to submit to him. Trust me I will settle things once we're out of this mess." Bulma promised.

Though they were still angry they decided to drop things for the time being. Their first priority was to repair the ship, followed by continuing their mission. Vegeta could be taken care of later.

"Well let get-

:"Wait there is still something that needs to be said." Piccolo started

"I know none of you like what he did to the enemy back there but giving our circumstance, what he did was the right thing to do." Piccolo stated.

Bulma angrily glared at Piccolo waiting for one of them to contest his statement, and while they all had frowns on their faces it became clear to her that deep down they agreed with him.

"What is wrong with you all?"

"Nothing is wrong with us but Piccolo has a point" Tien agreed.

"What that we should slaughter anyone against us? That would make us no different than Frieza.

"Don't you dare compare us to Frieza, we are nothing like him." Chichi threatened.

"Tell me something Bulma, why did you only choose to bring one ship out here. Your father had several more prepared and there were many more people willing to come. So why did you refuse?" Piccolo asked.

"…..They were not prepared."

"What wasn't they prepared for. They knew how to operate the ship, how to maintain it, and back then we were all inexperience in catching those species. In fact when you look at it there was only one difference between us and them and that was we were the only ones that had manage to take out Frieza men." Piccolo answered.

"So what, that still doesn't explain what Vegeta did. They were already defeated and the rest had fled. We could've just let them escape"

"Like we did with Frieza men, and look happen afterwards, they came back and quickly singled us out. Now whenever they attack we are the first ones they go after. Those men had been inside the ship, who knows what information they had letting them go was something we could not afford" Piccolo stated.

"Look Bulma we all know that it's not right and believe me none of us here want to do this, well except for maybe Piccolo, but if it comes down to it we all know how far we would go to complete this mission." Krillen explained

"Which was exactly why you wanted only us to come, we aren't idiots Bulma and as much as you don't want to say it you know we are right." Piccolo finished

"This still doesn't make it right." Bulma argued.

"And we agree with that. Just be glad that Vegeta made that choice and none of us." Yamcha.

"…..We should get started." Bulma stated walking away.

The gang agreed slowly getting started at the task at hand knowing it was going to take some time before the scientist came to terms with what happen.

"So tell me how were you able to know we were going to be attack." Corn asked Chiaotzu.

The two of them were currently inside the ship with the other sayjins who were currently nursing their wounds.

"What do you mean 'how did I know'?" Chiaotzu questioned.

"Don't play dumb, you knew they were coming without having a scouter." Corn stated.

Come to think of it none of them have been using scouters. So just how was it they were able to know how strong the enemy was or where they were located? Something's not right.

"I sensed them. Didn't you sense them?" Chiaotzu answered.

"Of course I didn't my scouter wasn't working, and neither were the others."

Interesting, they can't sense someone without the help of their scouters, if that the case then I'm pretty sure the same goes for Frieza men since they also have those. I have to make sure the others know about it.

"Come on, you're telling me you have the power to automatically know where someone is?" Corn asked.

"I do, it's a common trait from earth." Chiaotzu lied.

So I was right they don't know how sense someone. But I wonder if that the same for Vegeta and Kakarott.

From what Chiaotzu had seen of those two he was certain they were capable of sensing someone, since he had been with the sayjins, he had never seen them use their scouters aside from commutating with the others. He decided not to worry about that right now.

How is that possible, these earthlings sure have some strange ability; that settles it I've got to gain their trust, having this ability will certainly help us out.

"So you're saying all of you can do this?"

"Yeah we all can, why?"

"No reason, I was just curious that's all." Corn said walking away.

Chiaotzu frown at the sayjin back. Maybe he should've thought twice about answering the sayjin.

A little while later Vegeta arrived and stalked around outside until Kakarott finally showed.

"It's about damn time Kakarott, next don't contact me until after you arrive." Vegeta fumed.

"Sorry sir, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't tailed." Kakarott explained.

"Come on let's get back to the ship."

"What are you talking about….....yeah let's get back to the ship." Kakarott commented noticing the rigid stance Vegeta was in. He had no idea what happen but he had known Vegeta enough to know when to just shut and go with the flow. He'll figure out the details later. Once Vegeta calmed down and briefed him he the two of them took off for the hideout, once they were close to the mountain range they finished the rest of the way by foot.
