[i]"Something you have said intrigues me however.  You claim you wished to have died with the rest of your race?  From my memory I do not recall Planet Vegeta being in any great peril from the machine mutant forces, if anything the machine mutants were slightly losing overall as I recall."[/i]

Tabaga let out a short laugh as she stared at the ground and absently kicked at a few loose pieces of rubble. "I hate to be the one to tell you this, tin-man but I've never heard of a "Machine-mutant" and Planet Vegeta isn't in peril. It's gone. They burned it." Images of the flames washing across Planet Vegeta's surface made her flinch slightly.

[i]"Even if Dr. Muyuu had retrieved my schematics I doubt the war would have shifted that dramatically in a mere ten years.  Also you did not seem particularly perturbed by my appearance, which would set most pure organics on edge.  Were your foes Machine Mutants and how long have you been at war?"  [/i]

Tabaga finally turned to look at the Machine man and sighed. "You, my machine friend aren't the weirdest looking alien I've encountered over the years. And to answer your question, no. The people who wiped out pretty much everything weren't "Machine-mutants" whoever they are." Tabaga looked up at the sky and shook her head. "We never learned their real name but after they wiped out a few thousand of us over the first few months of fighting, we began calling them "The Scourge." We Saiyans had created an Empire that lasted only ten years before these crazy, black armored invaders started attacking the planets under our protection. They didn't take the planets by the way, they just wiped out all life and moved onto the next one. Eventually, they beat us back to Planet Vegeta and wiped the planet clean by burning it's surface. As far as I know, I was the last survivor." She shuddered at the feeling and memories of the odd golden power that had surged through her and allowed her to take her revenge on those who had destroyed her world.

She sighed after a moment. "We may not have been paragons of virtue but at least we tried to be fair to the people in the Empire. Everyone was equal. Everyone was treated fairly and no one was above or below each other. Even we Saiyans were subjected to the same laws as those under our protection. I don't know what we did to make them hate us enough to wipe us out to the last man but it must have been something pretty damn bad."
