Arcatica was destroyed by King Vegeta. Years later the planet sends its finest warrior to destroy King Vegeta, but the warrior falls in love with one of the enemies.

 

CHAPTER 13: TRUNKS MOMENT OF INDECISION

Trunks watched as the fair complexioned stranger turned to leave, his
hand darted out grasping hold of the youth, "Wait," he said, pulling the
Arcaticain to a staggering halt. "I," he paused, looking down where his hand
grasped Kuilian's bare arm. "I need to know? Did she," He paused again,
trying to gain control of his rampant thoughts. "What's she Is," he shook
his head, unsure of where to start. "Are they really going to kill her?" He
finally blurted out.
Kuilian's eyes blanked momentarily, a shudder coursed through his body.
"Yes," he answered, so low it was barely audible. "Yes," his voice was a
notch louder. "Arianna refuses to tell the Generals the information they
want so they threaten to kill her. We took it at first to be just a military
bluff, but Pinath's attacks and the rest; we don't believe it to be the case
anymore. If she stays within our encampment, it will mean her ultimate death
in the end."
Trunks gazed confused at the man before him, What am I to do? He shouted
at himself. I still love her, but she betrayed me, she almost killed my
sister!
"No," Kuilian spoke up, looking directly into Trunks vivid blue eyes.
"Arianna never attacked your sister."
"What?" Trunks looked over at Kuilian confused. "How did you? What in
the hell are you?"
Kuilian sighed, looking uncomfortably around the room. The girl he'd
seen in his visions, she sat on the couch watching them intently. Vegeta
stood in a corner scowling at Kuilian in particular and the rest of the room
in general, Or, Kuilian wondered, is that scowl in permanent residence on his
face. Bulma, Trunks' mother was nowhere to be seen, probably in the kitchen.
What do I tell them, Kuilian wondered bleakly. How much do I tell them? Do
I have the right to reveal Arianna's delicate condition to Trunks, or should
she do that herself? Kuilian looked into the young girl's bright blue eyes,
broke the gaze and looked over at Vegeta. Bright blue clashed with dark
brooding eyes. Kuilian shuddered involuntarily. Lastly he looked over at
Trunks. Bright blue clashed with light blue. "I am an oddity amongst even
the gifted Arcaticains of my world."
He glanced towards a chair, and Trunks nodded with his head. "Please
have a seat, I have a feeling we have a lot to discuss." Trunks said,
looking at Kuilian curiously.
"Indeed we do," Kuilian sighed. "You and Arianna mated, the fact itself
in irrelevant, except for that fact that Arianna is know bonded to you
forever." Trunks raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "I don't know how things
work for Saiyans or humans, but amongst Arcaticains, we mate for life. She
will not willingly mate with another." Trunks other eyebrow also raised in
fascination. "Pinath and Arianna were supposed to be married after she
returned from her mission here, although that won't happen now."
"Wait," Trunks said, raising his hand in the air to stop Kuilian before
he could continue. "Pinath and Arianna were supposed to be married? What-"
"They were betrothed," Kuilian answered.
Trunks gaze turned rock hard. "Arianna was engaged when she and I..?" he
trailed off, the look on his face turning impassive.
"Pinath was Arianna's intended mate, but she chose you over him. She
will remain faithful to you until she dies, which may not be to far off. If
you revealed anything to her, weaknesses, strengths, anything at all, she
will not repeat them. She will not betray you."
"She betrayed me when she attacked my sister!" Trunks burst out.
Kuilian gazed over at the blue-haired girl sitting on the couch across
the room from him. "Her?" He questioned, nodding at her.
Bra's head snapped up, bobbing back and forth from her brother to Kuilian.
Trunks' eyes narrowed. "Yes," he growled.
"I intend her no harm."
Vegeta stepped away from the wall, "You better not," his voice was low,
like a soft purr.
Kuilian turned his sharp gaze to the pure Saiyan Prince, or would he now
be the King? (Someone let me know!) "I intend her no harm, you have my word
on that, even if you may not trust it."
"Finish what you were saying before you ware out your welcome." Trunks
said.
"Arianna did not attack your sister, it was Pinath."
"Is he a dark black cat?" Bra asked, sitting up straight, looking quite
interested in the turn in the conversation.
"Yes," Kuilian answered.
"Arianna is a dark brown cat with just a hint of red tinged in, right?
Plus she is missing her tail now too." Bra asked.
Kuilian looked harder at the young woman. "Yes."
The girl looked over at her brother than over at her scowling father. "I
told you it wasn't Arianna. I knew it was a different cat, but no one would
believe me." Bra said, a brilliant smile spreading across her face.
"No, it wasn't my sister, she would give her life now to protect you."
She considers you part of the family even if you don't know it, Kuilian
thought, looking deeply into her eyes.
"What?" Bra asked, looking at him in shock. "Your mouth didn't move,
but I heard you speak!"
Kuilian smiled, "We Arcaticains are gifted with telepathy also. We can
talk silently with members of our blood family and those bonded to our
family. Your brother and my sister are bonded, which makes it possible for
me to talk to you telepathically. If Trunks wished, he could also talk to
Arianna in such a way."
"It was this Pinath that attacked Bra?" Trunks asked, changing the
subject back to a more comfortable topic.
"Yes."
"Will he be at the encampment?"
"Yes, he will." Kuilian answered.
"And this Pinath, you said he was also attacking Arianna? How?" Trunks
asked, his heart stop beating momentarily. Surely the asshole wouldn't, but
Kuilian's next words stopped that thought in mid-stride.
"He rapes her repeatedly, and we can not stop him. Even Iterias, who is
the commander of our Flotilla, cannot stop him. If he tries to punish him,
Iterias could face the wrath of the Generals, who would only see it as Pinath
giving Arianna what she deserved."
"Because she mated with me?" Trunks said softly.
"No," Kuilian said just as softly, "No, because she allowed herself to
fall in love with you. You never fall in love with the enemy."
Vegeta snorted, allowing them to know just what he thought of that.
Trunks glared over at his father. Could it be true? He wondered. He
looked up into Kuilian's bright gaze. Truth shone there. "What do I need to
do?" Trunks asked. "How do we get her out of there?"
Kuilian smiled his gratitude and slapped his hands together. Hopefully
by nightfall dear sister, you will be free! His mind shouted in triumph.
