Darkness.

Endless darkness.

The vastness of the galaxy seemed to span for years in every direction in an endless abyss of nothingness. Faint stars sprinkled the heavens, offering their warming glow to the cold void. In the distance, the warming sun of earth pierced through the blackness.

The light bathed the space capsule in glorious rays, causing it to gleam brightly against the darkness behind it. The ship bore only one marking; a scarlet "V" fashioned upon what appeared to be the craft's top.

Within, Namekian warrior Gulan made his way toward the observation deck. He paused at the door to straighten his cloak and turban. Clearing his throat, he pressed the button and stepped into the doorway. For a moment he stood in silence, his head bowed in reverence. Finally, he raised his gaze to rest upon the back of his leader.

"Navigators say less than one day before we land on this 'earth,'" his voice wavered only slightly.

The silent one simply nodded and motioned with a white-gloved hand for Gulan to go on about his business. He nodded, turned, and went on his way, leaving the "captain" alone once more.

The billow and whisper of fabric accompanied resounding footsteps to the observation window. A single hand rose to press to the glass almost longingly before fingertips began a casual drum where they rested.

Jet black tresses were brushed back with a free hand as the person turned and walked over to the seat before the window. The lights on deck glistened on armor of black, maroon, and gold as it peeked from beneath navy fabric of the cloak. The captain paused briefly before the seat to remove said cloak. Saiya-jin armor revealed fully to the lights of the deck, the captain lowered into the seat. Gloved fingertips drummed on the arm rests of the chair, ebony eyes locked on the target of their trek; earth.

Perfectly shaped lips curled into something akin to a smirk as a red-lensed scouter was put into place of the left eye of the captain. A low sigh slipped through lips of rose; a sigh that might be considered content. When finally the captain spoke, the soft, sultry voice of a woman reverberated on the steel walls of the observation room.

"At last, brother," the Saiya-jin woman spoke, "we will be reunited, and together we shall fulfill father's dreams of grandeur."
