Black.
Darkness.
Nothing, only my fleeting thoughts of consciousness. Where am I? My body gives an involuntary twitch, sending a arsenal of bubbles from my oxygen mask. Oxygen mask? I must be in the rejuvenation tank. What happened to me? Frost. He sent me on a mission with Koran. Slowly, my memories begin to take shape.
We were sent to do some of Frost's dirty work on Kappa 7. He claimed there was to be no fighting so he didn't have my device engaged. Strange. We arrived and no one greeted us, as expected. We were to arrive as a surprise and twist some arms, as their leaders weren't following Frost's orders. But that didn't happen, we were ambushed. They knew we were coming and had us surrounded with an arsenal of soldiers.
Frost that bastard, why didn't he have me use my device, especially if the Kappas were so hostile? He would have known they were unhappy with his rule. My muscles begin to twitch in my anger. I hear muffled popping sounds outside the tank. Frost should have known they were going to revolt. He knows I'm just about helpless without that device, and Koran can only go so far. My heart pounds faster and harder, and I clench my teeth. What was he trying to do, have us killed? I open my eyes, and the glass cracks. In one great wave the water bursts from the tank, leaving me there half-naked. My vision blurs, I'm going to lose control. I rip off my oxygen mask and stumble out of the tank. My breath comes as ragged inhales and exhales. My energy is coursing through my body faster and faster. I try to reign it in, but it is like holding water in a container with a million holes. It's useless. I hear the room falling apart around me, glass shattering to the floor. Blurry white shapes rush towards me. Must be the doctors. The energy is too much, too strong, I'm not going to be able to hold onto it much longer. One of the doctors holds me while another rummages around for something. I can't help but try to escape from their grasp. There's a sharp pain in my neck, the needle, then, I'm out.
I open my eyes but I'm quickly blinded by the lights of the hospital ward. "So, you're awake." It's Gyro, the head doctor, he doesn't sound too happy. I open my eyes. Glass embeds into my skin as I sit up. The hospital ward is a mess, glass is everywhere. Computer screens are busted out and the three other rejuvenation tanks are broken, leaving the floor covered in half and inch of water, which I'm sitting in. They could of at least had the decency to put me on a table. I turn to Gyro, "Did I do all this?" A computer screen gives an electrical pop and I laugh. Gyro gives me a cold look, "I don't see why he keeps you around." His sentence rings in my head. Frost couldn't have set that attack up, we are his best, his strongest, and we follow his every order. Well, I don't have much of a choice, but still.
I get up and make my way to the residence hall, getting a surprised look from a maintenance worker on the way. I reach Koran's door and open it, not even bothering to knock. He looks down from his book.
"Is this what you do in your spare time, read?" I scoff.
"Well, nice to see you're alive." he laughs. "And to answer your question, yes." He taps his head. "Mentally stimulating, you should try it sometime. Nice outfit by the way"
I look down. I'm only wearing a pair of little white underwear and a white band covers little of my boobs. I laugh to myself. So that's why that maintenance guy gave me that look. I move over to Koran's bed and make myself comfortable. He sits in his chair, back to reading his book. I study him, his dark hair, tanned skin, and the rugged looks to match.
"So, what happened?" I ask.
"We were ambushed."
"I figured that much."
"Well, we were surrounded and they began to shoot at us. I immediately flew up but not being able to use your ki you were still on the ground. Your hand-to-hand combat only got so far, then you started doing your 'Oh my, I'm losing control' thing." I give him my best "Fuck You" face and let him continue. "You were in rough shape so I came down and knocked you out so you wouldn't actually lose it and kill us both. I easily took out their gunners. Then, they had some real warriors show themselves. They were well outfitted, maybe they were some of Freiza's old men starting a rebellion with the Kappas. They turned out to be pretty strong. I don't think I would have made it. Luckily, that planet was in it's full moon. I transformed to Oozaru and that took care of them. You were riddled with bullets, so I put you in your pod, I left in mine, and that's about it."
"Did you report it to Frost?"
"Of course."
"Did he say anything?" I can't help but think something strange is going on.
"No, he just dismissed me."
"How long was I out?"
"About three days."
"Did you do any other work for Frost?"
"What's with all these questions?"
I sit towards the end of the bed, closer to Koran in his chair, and lower my voice. "Don't you think something weird is going on?"
"What do you mean?"
"How come Frost didn't engage my device, especially if the Kappas were going to be so hostile. Even if they weren't I'm basically defenseless without it."
"Yeah you got a point, maybe he didn't think it was necessary"
"I rarely leave this ship without it. How would you explain Frieza's men?" I look at Koran, he doesn't seem to want to hear anymore of this conversation.
"After he died his men left to do what they wanted."
"And what would mercenaries want to do? Kill things for someone else." I'm starting to get sick of explaining, and Koran seems sick of it too.
I let myself fall back on his bed and I let out a sigh. I must be over reacting. Koran and I have always been loyal to Frost, so there is no reason he would want to dispose of us. Right? My stomach let out a big roar. I sit up and Koran looks at me questioningly.
"What? I haven't ate anything solid in three days!" I grab Koran and pull him out of his room.
