"So you see my dear, that's why we needed you..." Oberon explained, watching Yuuki take in all this new information while her expression remained emotionless. "I've been planning this for some time..." He admitted, clearly impressed with himself as he knew his victory was close at hand. "Granted, that giant beast was an unexpected setback... And I wasn't planning on you being so well guarded afterwards..."

Where are you Tapion? Yuuki wondered, only half listening to the crazy man's ranting as she squeezed her hands together in her lap. Please... Please hurry...

"Aren't you excited?" The blonde man questioned, grabbing Yuuki roughly as she tried to lean away from him. "We're going to rule this world together..." He laughed, seemingly coming more unhinged as the hours ticked by.

Please Tapion, hurry...

...

Not too far away...

...

Tapion and the other fighters made their way towards Yuuki's location, using Bulma's newest invention as their guide. It had taken less than a day to gather the rest of the dragon balls, the blue haired scientist revealing her newest piece of technology as she explained how it worked.

"Think of it as a kind of a mechanical bloodhound..." Bulma had said, tossing the small device to Tapion. "When I did those tests on Yuuki the other day I had to draw some blood, her DNA is unique, just like the signature used to trace the dragon balls!" She finished excitedly, rather proud of herself as Tapion gripped the round screen.

It looked just like the machine they had been using earlier except this time, instead of multiple green dots, there was only one amber colored light flickering on and off. And it wasn't too far away...

"Thank you Bulma." Tapion said gratefully, clicking the small button on top as it gave a more detailed view of the landscape.

Just hang on a bit longer Yuuki... Tapion pleaded, flying as fast as he could towards the flashing light on the map with Goku, Gohan, Vegeta and Trunks following close behind.

...

Back in Oberon's hideout...

...

"Forgive me for interrupting My Lord, but there are five people approaching the castle."

The blonde man in charge growled, not expecting them this quickly as he adjusted his ridiculous crown. "Thank you, I'll make my way there shortly... Now leave us." He ordered, his tone turning dark.

"Yes, My Lord." The hooded figure replied, bowing before exiting the room.

"We should really have a little fun, don't you think?" Yuuki's captor suggested, grabbing her by the hair while he forced her in front of him, both of them heading down a dark hallway before arriving in a strange room. He didn't have long before he'd be preoccupied with the so called 'heros' and he needed to make sure everything was set up perfectly before they got here...

Oberon threw the woman on the ground, stepping on her back as she tried to protect herself. Yuuki gasped, her eyes widening while noticing the shackles laying on the floor just in front of her.
