I don't remember where

the name for this story

came from.

I think it was

always

The Forgotten,

in my head.

I can't see it as anything else.

Tell Me Governor...














<GUVA REALIZES THAT ALL HIS SOLDIERS ARE DEAD>

<HE WALKS QUIETLY TO HIS OFFICE AND CALLS UP LORD COOLER’S INSTALLATION; HE GETS NO RESPONSE>

<FOR SEVERAL MOMENTS, GUVA STANDS THERE, SPARKS AND DUST FALLING FROM THE ROOFTOP, THE DOOR TO THE OUTSIDE OPEN BEHIND HIM; BUT AS HE GETS NO RESPONSE, HE TURNS BACK AROUND>

<HE SEES SEVERAL NATIVES, CURIOUSLY MOVING ABOUT BEHIND HIM; THEY DO NOT NOTICE HIM BUT ARE SCAVENGING; GUVA WALKS OUT TO GREET THEM>

Guva: <ARMS SPREAD, QUIET ANGER TO THE NATIVES> So, I leave my post for one day, and this is how you repay me? I, your governor, let each and every one of you animals live in peace on my planet. I alone saved you from certain annihilation. And this… is the thanks I get? All my soldiers dead and my city in shambles!?

<THE CREATURES STARE BACK WITH FRIGHT BUT DO NOT RUN; THIS ANGERS GUVA GREATLY AND HE SENDS OUT AN ENERGY WAVE, KILLING THEM ALL>

<BREATHING HARD WITH ANGER, GUVA JUMPS TO THE SKY; HE EXTENDS HIS PALM AND CREATES A BALL OF ENERGY; AT GREAT LAST HE THROWS IT ABOVE HIM BUT ON A CURVED TRAJECTORY TO THE FOREST>

<AS THE BALL REACHES THE AREA ABOVE THE TREETOPS, IT EXPLODES AND SENDS OFF THOUSANDS AND THEN MILLIONS OF SKINNY, ELONGATED BLASTS OF ENERGY; THEY SHOOT ABOUT, ALMOST RANDOMLY DOWN TO THE GROUND BELOW; GUVA WAITS FOR SEVERAL MOMENTS>

<AFTER DOING SO, HE CLICKS HIS SCOUTER, READING FOR ANY POWER LEVELS ON THE PLANET; AFTER A GOOD SEARCH, HE CAN SEE THAT HE IS NOW THE ONLY LIVING BEING REMAINING ON HIS PLANET>

<HE SLOWLY DESCENDS BACK TO THE GROUND AND SITS BACK IN HIS POD; THE DOOR REMAINS OPEN>

<WITH A SIGH, GUVA BEGINS TO SCROLL THROUGH A COMPUTER SCREEN ON THE LEFT; HE DOES SO SOMEWHAT LAZILY AND WITH ONLY ONE FINGER; HE IS LOOKING FOR VARIOUS DESTINATIONS>

<SUDDENLY HE PAUSES AND RECHECKS HIS SCREEN; UPON IT IS EARTH; HE STARES AT IT FOR SEVERAL SECONDS, REMEMBERING THAT THAT WAS WHERE BOTH COOLER AND LEDAS WENT; HAVING NO OTHER THING TO DO, HE CLOSES HIS POD DOOR AND SETS COURSE FOR EARTH>

<IN SPACE>

<MAY 8TH 774 AGE>

<NEAR PLANET EARTH>

Kindler: You know kid, you really look like a Gary. Has anyone ever told you that?

<LEDAS WHO IS ONLY HALF CONSCIOUS JUST LOOKS UP AT HIM WITH ONE EYE; HE DOES NOT RESPOND>

<THE SCREEN RE-FADES IN, STILL OUT OF FOCUS TO THE INSIDE OF LEDAS’ GRAVITY ROOM; SINCE IT IS ALSO A SPACESHIP, THIS IS THE DEVICE THAT CARDINAL AND HIS CREW TOOK AT THE END OF THE LAST SAGA TO ESCAPE BUU; RYORI AND LEDAS ARE BOTH LAYING AT KINDLER’S FEET; THE FORMER IS STILL UNCONSCIOUS>

<KINDLER HIMSELF IS WELL DRESSED, STILL, THOUGH HIS EYES LOOK A BIT MORE SULLEN, AS IF HE HASN’T GOTTEN MUCH SLEEP; IN HIS HANDS IS A PIECE OF ROPE>

<DEWBERRY IS SITTING ACROSS FROM HIM, FACING THE CONTROLS OF THE SHIP, AND SITTING IN A CHAIR; IT IS ASSUMED HE IS PILOTING IT; THERE IS NO SIGN OF CARDINAL, AT FIRST>

Kindler: Hey, Dewberry! What do you think? Doesn’t he look like a Gary?

Dewberry: <LOOKS OVER> The kid? Naw way, man. That little alien looks just like this guy Trey I knew in high school… we would always-

<CARDINAL ENTERS, THROUGH A DOOR ON THE RIGHT; KINDLER AND DEWBERRY IMMEDIATELY TURN THEIR ATTENTION TO HIM>

Cardinal: Enough. <STERNLY WALKS OVER TO DEWBERRY> Is there any update on our situation?

Dewberry: <AT HIS STATION> Naw, Mr. Cardinal. It’s still gone. It was the same an hour ago.

Cardinal: <TURNS TO HIMSELF> Perhaps this is only a prolonging of the inevitable. <BACK TO KINDLER> Kindler, how are our supplies?

Kindler: Boss, we’ve got enough for another month or so, but with Earth being gone and all…<NODS TO THE GLASS WALL AHEAD; CLEARLY THERE IS NO PLANET IN THE VIEW> I don’t think it much matters either way.

Cardinal: Be that as it may, we’ve only been up here for 14 hours. And-

Kindler: And you think the Earth is gonna come back? No offense sir, but that don’t make sense.

Cardinal: Perhaps. Can we do naught but trust to hope? What are the other alternatives?

Kindler: None, sir. <BOWS HIS HEAD AGAIN, WATCHING THE SLIGHTLY CONSCIOUS LEDAS> But I’m always right. We’re dead out here. And there’s not a thing I can do about it.

Ryori: <WAKES UP SLIGHTLY; HIS HEAD IS COVERED IN DRY BLOOD ON ONE SIDE> Le-Ledas? W-where are we?

Cardinal: <WALKS OVER; SEES THAT THE BOYS HAVE WAKEN> Ah, awakened at last! I had thought my concoction of M99 was too strong for both of you.

Ledas: <TURNS TO CARDINAL; TALKING SLOWLY, FOR HE HAS JUST WOKEN UP> Who are you? What did you do to me?

Cardinal: <TO LEDAS> My name is Cardinal. I am many things. But in this instance, I am only here to deal with you.

Ledas: <NOT UNDERSTANDING> With me?

Cardinal: You’re the alien. The menace to my society. It was my duty to remove you before something… catastrophic occurred. As it were, something catastrophic occurred anyway. <GESTURES TO THE WINDOW AGAIN>

Dewberry: <YELLING> Mr. Cardinal!! Look! It’s back!

<CARDINAL AND KINDLER TURN AND LOOK OUT THE WINDOW; THE EARTH HAS SUDDENLY APPEARED IN THE PAST FEW SECONDS>

Cardinal: What?! How? Did this just happen?

Dewberry: <COOLY> Uh yeah.

Cardinal: <REGAINS HIS COMPOSURE> Very well, Dewberry. Set us a course back home.

Dewberry: Uh… Mr. Cardinal. That’s not all. There’s another ship comin’ right at us! <BEFORE CARDINAL CAN ANSWER; THERE IS A HUGE SHAKING OF THE SHIP; CARDINAL IS AN OLD MAN AND THEREFORE ALMOST FALLS OVER> Uhhmm… they’ve docked wit’ us.

Cardinal: <WITH MUCH AUTHORITY> Mr. Kindler, would you kindly take our passengers into the other room? Dewberry, open the hatch. Welcome our new guest for me. <HE SMILES, VERY MUCH FAKING IT>

<WITH THAT, KINDLER TAKES RYORI/LEDAS AND MOVES THEM INTO A ROOM IN THE BACK; DEWBERRY GETS UP, COCKS HIS PISTOL AND MOVES FORWARD TO OPEN THE DOCKING DOOR>

The Cruelest Of Atrocities
A LATCH OPENS; THE CAMERA COMES AROUND THE CORNER FROM THE OUTSIDE INTO CARDINAL’S SHIP; IT FOLLOWS GUVA, WHO IS IN HIS ARMOR DOWN A LONG HALLWAY TO THE DOOR>

<AS HE REACHES THE INNER DOOR, IT OPENS FOR HIM; REVEALING ONLY DEWBERRY BEHIND IT; DEWBERRY ISN’T EXACTLY FRIGHTENED; ESPECIALLY AFTER HE SEES GUVA, HE IS STRANGELY UNCHANGED>

Dewberry: <WITH A GOOD OL’ ACCENT> Oh, hey.

<GUVA IS SLIGHTLY WARY AT THIS NONCHALANT GREETING AND HE ENTERS WITH SLIGHT CAUTION; AND HIS EYES SQUINTING>

Dewberry: So uh… whatcha doin’ here, man? Are ya lost?

Guva: <PEERING ABOUT THE MAIN ROOM; IT IS MOSTLY BARREN> Do you even know who I am?

Dewberry: Oh yeah totally man. You’re one of those space aliens.

Guva: <SLOWLY> Space… aliens…?

Dewberry: Oh yeah.

Guva: …

<THERE IS AN AWKWARD SILENCE FOR A WHILE>

Dewberry: <UNNOTICED> Why’d you come to visit me?

Guva: <SUDDENLY BUSINESS-LIKE> I am looking for a planet called Earth. My directions seemed to be faulty; it’s not where I thought it was. You wouldn’t happen to know of its location, would you?

Dewberry: Ohhh I get it. You’re going to Earth to harvest some of us up for experiments. <PUSHES GLASSES BACK UP>

Guva: I-I’m what?

Dewberry: I saw it on Syfy, what yar gonna do with us. It’s cool man, I won’t tell anybody. <STANDS UP AND GETS REAL CLOSE TO GUVA’S FACE> I’m on your side!

Guva: <A BIT ANNOYED> You must be one of the intellectuals of your race. But Earth. Do you know of its location? Or am I wasting my time?

Dewberry: <ON HIS CHAIR, HE ROLLS ACROSS THE VAST METAL FLOOR TO THE WINDOW, FEET IN AIR; HE STOPS, SLAMMING INTO THE WALL, HARD; THEN HE WAVES A SINGLE FINGER AT GUVA TO COME OVER> See that one out there? <HE POINTS TO EARTH THROUGH THE LOOKING WINDOW> That’s Earth.

Guva: <STARES OUT AT IT> <SIGHS HEAVILY> Ahhhh… at last.

Dewberry: How many are ya takin’?

Guva: <TURNS TO DEWBERRY> What?

Dewberry: How many are ya gonna take for your ‘speriments?

Guva: <GATHERS UP HIS CAPE AND WALKS OUT> Only one.

<GUVA THEN DEPARTS, AFTER A FEW MOMENTS HIS POD RACES BY IN FRONT OF THE WINDOW>

<AT THIS TIME CARDINAL COMES OUT, WITH KINDLER; KINDLER IS HOLDING LEDAS AND RYORI IN EACH HAND; THEY ARE GROGGY>

Cardinal: <TO DEWBERRY> It all went smoothly?

Dewberry: Oh yeah. The alien guy didn’t wan’ anything.

Cardinal: Good, good. <TO HIS TWO REMAINING ASSOCIATES> We will head back to Earth then, ourselves. I do not know how it came back… but perhaps those questions are best left unanswered.

Kindler: But sir, what about these two? <HE DROPS THE TWO SEMI-CONSCIOUS BOYS AND GESTURES TO THEM> What will we do with them?

Cardinal: When we land, Kindler, when we land.

<THE SHIP FLIES BACK TO EARTH AND LANDS IN A ROCKY AREA>

<THE AREA IS BARREN, WITHOUT ANY FOLIAGE; IT IS HIGH ON A MOUNTAIN; THERE IS NO SIGN OF LIFE AROUND>

<WHEN THE LAND, CARDINAL IMMEDIATELY OPENS THE FRONT HATCH AND STANDS AT ITS ENTRANCE, STARING OUT>

Cardinal: So nice to be back.

Kindler: <MOVES FORWARD; HE IS TIRED FROM HIS LACK OF SLEEP, BUT IS HIDING THAT> Mr. Cardinal… now what will we do with them?

Cardinal: Dispose of them, Kindler.

Kindler: <INCREDULOUSLY> Kill them?! They’re just children, sir.

Cardinal: Children who have seen too much. <HE TAKES SOMETHING OUT OF HIS SUIT INNER POCKET; IT IS A CAPSULE AND HE THROWS IT ONTO THE GROUND> I cannot afford them to mention any of it.

Kindler: But si-

<THE CAPSULE TURNS INTO A HOVER CAR; CARDINAL WITH SURPRISING GUSTO JUMPS INTO IT AND SPEEDS OFF>

<KINDLER RETURNS INSIDE; HE TAKES THE GUN OUT OF THE BACK OF HIS BELT AND LOOKS AT IT; HE SEEMS TROUBLED BY IT>

<NONETHELESS, HE TAKES LEDAS IN ONE HAND, STILL HOLDING THE PISTOL IN HIS OTHER AND DRAGS THE SEMI-CONSCIOUS KID INTO A BACK ROOM>

<AS HE IS WALKING; KINDLER TRIPS SLIGHTLY, AND THE GUN IN HIS RIGHT HAND GOES OFF>

<IT HITS LEDAS IN THE HEAD, CAUSING KINDLER TO DROP HIM>

<KINDLER STEPS BACK, WITHOUT EMOTION UPON LEDAS’ BODY; BLOOD IS RAPIDLY POOLING AROUND THE CHILD’S HEAD>

<LEDAS’ EYES ARE CLOSED AND HIS BODY IS MOTIONLESS>

<WITHOUT ANOTHER LOOK, DESPITE IT BEING AN ACCIDENT, KINDLER TURNS SWIFTLY AROUND AND EXITS>

<CUTS TO EARTH>

<IT IS MORNING; VERY EARLY MORNING; THERE IS A GREAT MIST ABOUT THE ROLLING HILLS AROUND; THERE ARE FEW TREES BUT THE GRASS IS VERY GREEN AND LIVELY>

<VEGETA IS PRACTICING SLIGHTLY IN THIS WEATHER; HIS POWER LEVEL IS ONLY ABOUT 300,000 OR SO AND HE IS NOT IN SUPER SAIYAN>

<A FIGURE, CLAD IN HEAVY PURPLED AND BLUED ARMOR, A DARK CAPE BILLOWING ABOUT HIM, LANDS WITH A THUD INTO THE GROUND BEHIND VEGETA>

Vegeta: Who are you?

<THE CREATURE LANDS AND FEELS AT HIS HAIR, RUNNING HIS HANDS THROUGH THE STARK WHITE STRANDS OF IT; BUT HIS FACE IS STILL YOUTHFUL AND HIS BODY SPRY>

Unknown: A Saiyan? It seems Lord Cooler wasn’t lying when he said the some of the rats had escaped that sinking ship. <HE TURNS TO FACE VEGETA; FACE IS CLEARLY SHOWN NOW, IT IS GUVA>

Vegeta: Saiyan? <INDIGNATION> How do you know who I am?

Guva: <CHUCKLES TO HIMSELF, AS HE KNEELS AND FEELS THE WET GRASS UNDER THEIR FEET> I’ve seen that hair before. <HE EXHALES AND CLOSES HIS EYES, STANDING BACK UP AND POINTING HIS FACE TO THE SKY> It’s been a while since I’ve been able to enjoy the relaxing scenery of such a temperate planet.

<GUVA SUDDENLY OPENS HIS EYES AND FORMS A SMALL BALL OF ENERGY, HE THROWS IT INTO THE AIR WITH SURPRISING GUSTO; AS THE SCATTERSHOT BALL REACHES A CERTAIN ALTITUDE IT DETONATES AND SENDS SEVERAL SMALL, ELONGATED BEAMS FLYING IN ALL DIRECTIONS>

THEY DETONATE AROUND, ON THE COUNTRYSIDE; SMOKE WEAKLY POURS OUT FROM EACH OF THE BLAST’S HOLES; VEGETA STANDS WITH HIS FACE TOWARD GUVA, ARMS CROSSED; HE IS NOT IMPRESSED>

Vegeta: Done playing around, old man?

Guva: <STRETCHES OUT HIS ARMS AND LEGS; STRAINED IN SPEECH A BIT BECAUSE OF THIS> You asked my name before? I am Senior Governor Guva, caretaker of Planet Cooler 92 and a second tier advisor to the aforementioned Lord Cooler. I am here, tracking down a rogue soldier; a deserter of my installation. He is a Saiyan, much like you.

Vegeta: <LAUGHS HIMSELF> You’ve got the wrong race <SARCASTICALLY> governor. We Saiyans never run from a fight.

Guva: I doubt you could generalize your entire species like that. But this is all hearsay; I have not come many long days and searched to argue with your arrogance. You are not the one I wish to fight.

Vegeta: Hmph. I wouldn’t waste my energy on you.

Guva: <SCANS VEGETA’S POWER, WITH HIS SCOUTER; IT’S ONLY IN THE LOW THOUSANDS> Oh, naturally. You can’t actually run from a fight if you never do fight after all.

Vegeta: Do what you want. But there aren’t any Saiyans here who are running from a weakling like you.

Guva: <QUITE CALM, HE LAUGHS AGAIN> The Saiyan I’m searching for is just a child… or something like that. I’m not quite sure, actually.

Vegeta: <BAITED WHISPER> Oh yeah? What’s his name?

Guva: Maybe you do know him. The little bastard went by Ledas. Would you happen to know him?

<VEGETA’S EYES WIDEN; HE STEPS BACK>

Guva: Now then, are you going to tell me where he is? Or will I have to still up a riot?

<VEGETA DOES NOT ANSWER AND THE SCREEN FADES TO BLACK>

Formally
<KINDLER WALKS DOWN THE HALL BACK TO THE MAIN ROOM; IN IT, DEWBERRY AND RYORI ARE TALKING>

Kindler: <AS HE IS WALKING, TO HIMSELF; VERY QUIETLY> Darn diddly do dat…

<KINDLER PAUSES FOR A MOMENT AND THROWS HIS PISTOL INTO A SIDE CLOSET; HE CONTINUES WALKING, NOW WHISTLING… OR TRYING TO; HE CAN’T ACTUALLY DO IT YET>

<HE ROUNDS THE CORNER TO DEWBERRY; DEWBERRY HAS RYORI SITTING NEAR HIM AND THEY ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONVERSATION>

Dewberry: Yeah, he’s cool. <SIGHS> If Kindler was a girl, I would so date him.

Ryori: <GROGGILY STILL> That’s a weird thing to say.

Dewberry: Hey, shut up!

Ryori: What did I do?

Kindler: <ENTERS; WALKS UP TO THE KID; HE DOES NOT HAVE THE PISTOL WITH HIM> Dewberry, the kid.

Dewberry: What? You gonna kill him?

Kindler: Just give him to me.

Dewberry: <WHINE> Tell me, Kindy. I wanna know!

Kindler: <STRAINED, PERSONALLY> Dewberry, you’re just another of Cardinal’s underlings. It’s not my place to reveal to you every little aspect of our plans.

Dewberry: <GRUMBLES> Whatever…

<DEWBERRY BEGRUDGINGLY PUSHES RYORI, WHO IS STILL TIED UP, ACROSS THE FLOOR>

<KINDLER TURNS RYORI AROUND, WHO IS KNEELING, AND TAKES HIS HAND TO THE BACK OF RYORI’S HEAD>

<BEYOND IN THE BACK ROOM, LEDAS STIRS>

<AS IS EVIDENT NOW, WHEN THE BULLET ENTERED INTO HIS HEAD IT DESTROYED THE KI SUPPRESSOR THAT WAS KEEPING HIM FROM KILLING EVERYBODY BEFORE>

<IN ADDITION, LANDING AS HARD AS HE DID ON THE METAL FLOOR CRACKED THE SUPPRESSOR AND CAUSED IT TO FALL OFF HIS HEAD>

<AT THIS, LEDAS LOOKS UP, EYES GLAZED OVER; ABOVE HIM IS STANDING A HALLUCINATION OF HIS FATHER>

Layeeck: <TO HIM> There is no honor in death.

<LEDAS TURNS OVER WITH MUCH PAIN; HE WINCES>

<HIS FACE IS ABSOLUTELY COVERED IN BLOOD, SOME OF IT DRIED; THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD HAS A SMALL BULLET HOLE IN IT>

<HE DOES NOT ANSWER HIS FATHER>

Layeeck: Look around, Ledas. Everything you need is right before your eyes!

<LEDAS BREATHS HARD OUT OF HIS NOSE, HE CRAWLS A BIT MORE AND SLIPS FROM HIS BLOOD WHICH IS NOW IN A HUGE POOL ON THE METAL GROUND>

<HE STOPS MOVING AND ROLLS OVER, BREATHING HARD, EYES AFLUTTER>

Layeeck: Think! What do you have, Ledas!? What can you use to save yourself?

<LEDAS RAISES HIS HAND AND MOVES HIS FINGERS, IN FRONT OF HIS FACE; AFTER A SECOND HE LOWERS IT AGAIN>

Layeeck: Do not let yourself be killed by these creatures. Fight! Be a Saiyan!

<LEDAS GASPS, AND A FLURRY OF MEMORIES COME BACK, OF KORIN’S TOWER; THE SMALL WHITE CAT EXPLAINING TO HIM THE VARIOUS MAGICS OF HIS PLACE; AND THEN GIVING HIM THE POUCH>

<WITH THAT, LEDAS SLOWLY REACHES INSIDE HIS SHIRT AND PULLS OUT THE POUCH; HE AGAIN SLOWLY TAKES OUT A SINGLE BEAN AND EATS IT>

<HE LAYS THERE FOR A SECOND, CHEWING AND THEN SWALLOWING>

<NOTHING HAPPENS FOR SEVERAL MOMENTS, THEN LEDAS LETS OUT A SCREAM, AND CLUTCHES AT HIS HEAD; HE SCREAMS AGAIN; OBVIOUSLY THE PAIN HAS NOT GONE FROM THE SINGLE BEAN>

<LEDAS TAKES ANOTHER BEAN, THIS TIME ALMOST CONVULSING AS HE DOES SO>

<HE EATS IT, AND STOPS SCREAMING ALMOST IMMEDIATELY>

<LEDAS STANDS UP, WIPING THE BLOOD FROM HIS FACE; HE LOOKS AROUND; THE VISIONS OF HIS FATHER ARE GONE NOW>

Ledas: Dad? <MORE ANXIOUS> Dad?!

<HE LOOKS AROUND AND THERE IS NOTHING THERE>

<LEDAS GOES TO ASK AGAIN, BUT THEN HE HEARS HURRIED TALKING COMING FROM UP AHEAD; HE REALIZES THAT KINDLER IS STILL ALIVE AND THAT RYORI IS IN THE OTHER ROOM>

<WITH A SUDDEN JOLT, LEDAS JUMPS OUT AND DOWN THE CORNER>

<BACK UP AHEAD, KINDLER HAS RYORI IN AN EXECUTION POSE>

Kindler: <TO DEWBERRY> I took care of the other one. But this kid’s no harm to us, or Mr. Cardinal. I think we can…

<AT THIS MOMENT, LEDAS SKIDS INTO VIEW; KINDLER TURNS TO FACE HIM>
