Title: Dragon's Deal

Prologue: Bet

Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ characters, but yes, I own my own characters.

A/N: Hmm. Short. Full of mistakes. Damn. By the way, Frieza is his perfect form.

And I'm really sorry; this 1. chapter (or rather prologue) is almost all dialogue.

Note: ~ ~ are Delila talking, [] are toughts.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Huh?"

Frieza's eyes went wide, like in those B-class horrormovies, when somebody sees a ghost.

But if we talk 'bout Frieza, reality was far worse.

He saw NOTHING. Not anything, just nothing. No even wall. No floor. Nothing.

There was only darkness, blackness.

"Whatindahell...?!" He begun.

There was someting -or rather somebody- behind him. Frieza turned around, but he didn't saw

anything.

~So, you have arrived.~ It was rather somebodys toughts than voice.

"Who the hell you are!? Where I am?! WHY I'M HERE?!" Frieza got no answer.

"Answer me, or I...!" Frieza shouted.

~You don't know it yet, do you?~ Voice was soft like a silk.

"Know WHAT?! I have no patience right now!"

~Hmm. Look at yourself.~

Somehow, light lit up.

Frieza rolled his eyes, and then looked his own chest. It was alright.

"See? There is nothing... noth... " Frieza didn't finish

sentece. There was no need to do it.

~See. I was right, after all.~

"No metal? I'm not android? I'm still in one piece? Bu-but... Goku almost killed me..." Frieza was

completely shocked .

~Yes. And what is your last memory?~

"Trunks... yeah, Trunks... killing me?!" Frieza's eyes went even more wide.

~Indeed. And, I can say, he did it, very well.~

"OK. I'm dead. I-I can stand it... Is this hell or som'thing." Frieza asked.

~Maybe. Or this may be heaven.~

"Who the heck are you? God? If you are, this place SUCKS, if this really is heaven." Frieza asked and

tried to keep himself as sane as possible at this situation'.

~I'm not god. I'm just... well, that doesn't matter, yet. And if I would be god, after all,

I would be rather goddess...~

"You're... female?!" Frieza asked, pretty scared. How many bad guys escept that they'll see

woman after death, after all?

~Don't say it like it is a bad thing...~

"No, I don't. Show yourself." Frieza begged.

~As you wish.~

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

It was a dragon. Somehow, Frieza knew it. It didn't look Namek's dragon, nor it/she

didn't look Earth's dragon.

She had two wings, long neck, powerful legs and saphire-blue scales.

Her eyes where golden. And, yes, she DID look somehow feminine.

Her body wasn't snake-like, like Earth's dragon's. She was completly

differend. She was awesome creature.

"You're a dragon?!" Frieza asked.

~Dragoness. And I know that you're thinking Earth's or Namek's dragon. But no,

I'm only related to them. I'm Damnation's Dragon.~

"Do you have name?"

~Someone called me "Great Gambler". Somebody called me "Lady Luck" or "Miss Fortuna".

But then somebody called me "Delila". You know who she was, do you? You

don't? That doesn't really matter. So, if you want, call me Delila.~

"Why I'm here?" Frieza was more calm now, when he was dead.

[Oh, great, does women talk ALWAYS that much? Geez.]

~Your wish. It was interesting. Immortality. Someone tried that before, but,

like you, he failed.~ Here she allowed herself a small smile. ~Usually they wish that someone

will be alive again. Long lost love, parents, family, friends, dog, motorcycle, blaah blaah blaah.

But you... your mother was dead. Why you didn't wish her back? Or somebody else back?

Fame? Money? Why did you want to rule the whole universum?~

Frieza stopped to think. He didn't know exactly, why.

"I... I don't really know..."

~Hmm. Well, I have deal for you. Or it's more likely bet.~

"Tell me."

~Oh, you're interested, aren't you? Well, deal's this:

you're very cold-hearted, evil and cruel thing. You show no

mercy, nor you show friendship to anyone, I really mean, anyone.

So, I'm pretty interested about that, could you be 'good' for while.

I'll give you four weeks to get at least one very good friend.

If you succeed, I'll give you three wishes and send you back to life.

Then you van do everything you want. If you fail, I'll take your soul, and send you

to the eternal damnation, to eternal torture, etc, etc. Hell-stuff. Oh, well, how

does it sound to you?~

Frieza blinked and begun to think. Delila didn't say anything.

[If I fail, that's BAD, but if I win... Prize would be more than enough!]

"What happens, if I say 'no'?" Frieza asked.

~Then you'll be like normal soul, and get punishmed from your wrong choices,

and get rewarded from rights. Like every one else. Normal blah blah blah -stuff.~

'Lady Luck' said. Frieza knew that she was bored.

"Okay. Let's make a deal." Frieza said at last, red eyes shining greedly.

~Great. I'll send you to the Earth, three years after your... death.

Oh, and one more thing. To make sure, that you don't blow up Earth or

something lik that, you'll have to wait four days until you get half of your powers back.

Then, you'll wait five more days, and get your full-power. When you're waiting,

don't kill anyone. If you even TRY to kill someone, you'll have to wait few days more.

Selfdefence is differend thing.~

'Great Gambler' explained with weird dragon-smile

Frieza nodded.

~Ready? Go!~

"Buh-bye for now, you fat dragon."

Last thing that Frieza heard was something like 'And I'm NOT fat. Or I am?! Oh my...'

Then everythin blurred.

A/N: Well? What did you liked? Aagh. I know, it's full of mistakes, but...

Doom. Please, don't kill me. Critic is always welcome.
