Disclaimer: yeah yeah I know. I don’t own DBZ or the characters; I’m not making any money either. That really is too bad but I can’t to anything about either of them.
Strange Beauty: Her eyes were especially attracted to the mass of that rare color which covered more than half the planet. The ocean.

Bulma tugged at one of her aqua curls in wonder. It’s beautiful! I see now why father considers me a rare treasure. A frown appeared on her lips as an afterthought crept into her mind, Seems I wasn’t valuable enough to keep in the palace. Bulma pulled herself back to reality and realized that, judging by the distance, they would reach the planet within the next ten minutes. Time to make ready. Walking to her closet, Bulma pulled off the now ripped gown she was wearing and began to dress in her warriors clothing and armor.

“VEGETA! CHI-CHI! DINNER!” Mrs. Briefs called out to her twins. The two of them paused mid-tackle and looked at their mother. Mrs. Briefs sighed in frustration at the two 16 year olds.
“In a sec mom, I’m gonna beat him this time!”
“I DON’T THINK SO SIS!” Vegeta flipped his sister over and pinned her to the ground, a smirk played on his lips. “Ha I win.”
“Fine, now let me up.”
“Nope.”
“Oh come on! You already beat me!” Chi-Chi rolled her eyes.
“Say it!” Vegeta was obviously amused.
“::Sigh:: Vegeta is the greatest fighter in the world and I, his twin, will never be able to beat him. There happy?”
“Ecstatic.” Vegeta let Chi-Chi up and raced to the table.
“Man am I starved!” She said, Vegeta grunted his agreement.
“Now kids,” Mr. Briefs cautioned, “try to save some for the rest of us, I know you two can have very big appetites.”
A sudden chilling voice was heard behind them. “Well I hope you enjoyed your last meal here on Chickyuu.”
Mr. and Mrs. Briefs were frozen in fright. They had no idea what was in store for them and had no time to react. Burly men wearing warrior’s armor seized the four of them. The family was cuffed and watched helplessly as a dozen men went into their home, Capsule Corporation.
“Who’s the strongest fighter in the world now?” Chi-Chi whispered to her brother.
“Shut up Chi!” He hissed back.
Vegeta was trying to figure all this out.
“What is the meaning of this?” Mrs. Briefs exclaimed. The man holding her slapped her across the face to shut her up.
Vegeta was extremely angry now. He ducked quickly and spin-kicked his captor in the legs, catching him off guard. Chi-Chi took cue from this and kneed the man holding her in a not so pleasant spot. She and Vegeta began to race towards the old tree house. It was a sort of safe house, but with their hands cuffed they could not get in.
The two men, having recovered from their shock, ran up, no flew up behind them and began their pursuit. Vegeta rolled out of the way just in time but Chi-Chi wasn’t so lucky. One of the men grabbed her by the hair and pulled her back towards him, he then grasped her around the waist and hoisted her over his shoulder, then brought her over to a cage they had found.
A few minutes later the men succeeded in catching Vegeta and they threw him into the cage with his sister. The men began to return from ransacking the mansion and facilities of C.C. carrying blueprints and all of the data on the dino caps technology. Mr. and Mrs. Briefs were horrified, all of their work, and their children’s work, was going to a brutal race of bloodthirsty warriors, or at least that’s what they had gathered from the sights and sounds around them. Suddenly a blue haired woman, quite different from the rest of the invaders, landed in front of them.
“Welcome, to the rest of your pitiful lives.”
Her voice betrayed the angelic image that stood before them. It was cold and ruthless, while the girl was quite beautiful. Blue hair forming a perfect halo framing her young face, she did not appear to be much older than Vegeta and Chi-Chi, perhaps younger.
“I take it you are the Briefs family, creators of this... Capsule Corporation.” She turned to the captain. “Have we all that we need?”
The black haired man stepped forward, “Yes your highness.”
“Very well then, I suppose we have no more need for this pathetic establishment now do we?” With an evil smirk the woman decimated the entire compound using what looked like a ball of light coming from her palm.
Vegeta and Chi-Chi looked on in horror as their home, their past, was destroyed. Mr. Briefs suddenly realized something and his mouth dropped open in shock.
“You... You’re of the Sayajin race, aren’t you?”
“Ooh aren’t you smart?”
A swift blow hit Mr. Briefs square in the stomach and he keeled over in pain.
“Anyone else have something to say?”
None of the prisoners moved save for a few tears that trickled down Mrs. Briefs face. Chi-Chi had her nose stuck up in defiance and Vegeta looked his captor straight in the eyes. This surprised Bulma and a closer look told her why. His eyes, and the girl’s eyes, were coal black and had A Sayajin glint to them, yet, neither of them had a tail.
“You! Boy! What is your name?”
“Why should I tell you?” His gaze never left the blue pools of cold ice that stared right back. Bulma decided to take a different tactic.
“You,” She adjusted her interest to Mrs. Briefs, “Who are the birth parents of these two?”
Vegeta and Chi-Chi were thoroughly confused as their mother’s eyes went wide with shock. How could she have known? Was running through her mind.
“I am.” Mrs. Briefs tried to say this matter-of-factly.
“DO YOU TAKE ME AS A FOOL? THESE ARE NOT YOUR CHILDREN! THEY ARE UNDOUBTEDLY OF SAYAJIN DESENT!”
