Chapter 2: Teicu's Past

*Planet Moctezu*

The Planet Moctezu was a planet of two different races, the Maylaians and the Aztrecians. The Maylaians were power hungry people, born with magical abilities. The Aztrecians were more of a traditional race; they tried to keep the peace, but thought if you had magical abilities that you were a demon cast down by the Gods because you were pure evil. Because of their separate beliefs Moctezu had been cursed to war for hundreds of years. In one of the more brutal battles the King's General sent out his men to Maylaian villages, while the men were at war the Aztrecian soldiers kidnapped the women and children of the villages and sent them off to the slave trade.

After the General reported back to the King, and the King was pleased with what he had done. Not only had the General begun to wipe out the ability for the Maylaians to reproduce, he also made the Aztrecian Empire a good amount of credits. So as a reward the King sent the General home to be with his wife during her last phase of pregnancy. As the General was walking home, there was an older man walking near him. The General put on a dangerous stare and continued to walk but the old man stopped in front of him. "You there, are you the General?" the old man asked. "Be gone beggar, I have nothing to offer you," The General said as he pushed past the old man. The old man took in a deep breath as though he were smelling the wind. As he let out a breath he looked at the General; his eyes were glowing a rich gold color.

"You General, will suffer the fate of all those you have harmed today. Your first child will be no different than the Maylaians, she will have the features of an Aztrecian Princess; so beautiful she will be worthy to be a Queen. But she will have the powers of a Maylaian whore!" The old man cackled as the General swung around and shot the old man in the head with a laser. The General looked shocked, he did not know if what the old man said was true, but it was something he could not risk. He was the General of the Aztrecian army! He could not have a demon for a child! As he raced home he stepped into his house to hear his wife's screams. He ran up the stairs to see the midwife sitting in a chair in front of his wife, and his wife was pushing with all of her might. After sometime they finally heard the cries of their daughter, and the General walked over to where she was wrapped up in a blanket his wife had made for her, fast asleep. The General picked up the small girl, and she began to stir, opening her eyes. He quickly looked away from her, not wanting to see if what the old man had said was true.

He finally built up the courage once he heard his daughter yawn and he looked down to see she had two beautiful grey eyes, just like her mother's. He let out a sigh of relief and looked up to his wife. "What shall we name her?" his wife asked with a smile. "I believe Teicu fits, don't you?" The General said as he looked down to his beautiful daughter, he put his finger next to her hand and she grabbed and squeezed it tightly. Pride swelled up in the General's chest as he rocked his daughter to sleep.

*12 years later*

"Tahtli! Tahtli!" Teicu called out as she ran downstairs to find her father, today was her birthday and he told her that he had a surprise for her. "Tahtli!" she called out again, suddenly she saw her father step out of the gardens. The war had ended, the Maylaians had been defeated and the General was now retired. He smiled brightly at his only daughter as she ran up to hug him. "Happy Birthday my daughter," her father had said quietly. "Thank you Tahtli! But you promised me a surprise if I had come down stairs," Teicu smiled slyly at him. "You are right I did, now close your eyes," her father said as he pulled a long box from his coat jacket. "Okay and open," he said, as soon as Teicu opened her eyes her father gasped and stepped back.

"What is it? What's the matter Tahtli?" Teicu asked worried for her father. "Y-you…Your eye…The curse!" Her father said and pointed at her. "What's wrong with my eye? What curse?" Teicu said now worried that she was in trouble. "I-I can't speak to you…you DEMON!" her father yelled at her. Tears began to form into her eyes. "I don't know what you are talking about! I didn't do anything wrong!" "I WILL NOT HAVE A DEMON FOR A DAUGHTER! I WILL NOT!" her father continued to yell. Teicu looked down at the small box her father had dropped and there were two necklaces inside of it. She looked back up at her father who was now on his knees praying to the Gods. "Tahtli?" she asked quietly and touched his shoulder. He pulled away from her as if he had been burned by her touch. "Get out of here! I don't ever want to see you again…Demon!" "But, Tahtli? Where will I go?" she said now sobbing.

The former General stood up, "I don't care if you go to Hell…you will not stay here." He picked her up and walked her out of the garden and threw her to the ground. "If I catch you here again demon, I will add your blood stain to the blade of my sword, just like I did with the rest of your kind!" he yelled as he slammed the gate shut. Teicu stood up now sobbing and yelling for her father to open up the gate, and that she was sorry. After hours of this she decided to give up, she walked to a large cliff that wasn't very far from her home and she looked down. She was about to jump off of it when she felt a strong hand grab her wrist, she instantly turned around, expecting to see her father. But instead she saw a man who had pale peach colored skin, brown hair, scruffy facial hair, and a large scar that went across his chest. "Who are you?" she asked, frightened by the man.

"I am Captain Zakai Xandran. I know what happened to you dearie, I believe I can help you," The Captain said as he held out his hand. "What is there to help? I have lost my family, my father thinks I am a demon," she said crying into her hands. "Listen to me, what your father thinks is a curse, is actually a gift. You now have the power to control the emotions of others around you. I can teach you to use your gift to the best of your abilities. But you must come with me, you see, my daughter had the same ability you have now, I had to learn to master it with her. I promise you it will be worth your while," The Captain said still holding out a hand.

"And what happened to your daughter? Why doesn't she teach me?" Teicu asked sounding skeptical. The Captains face turned sad, "She died many years ago." "Oh, I am so sorry," Teicu said putting a hand over her heart. "I know she is happy now. Now will you join my crew? I will make you my General, and together we will rule the universe," The Captain said with a smile. Teicu looked in the direction of her home and she sighed, "At this point in time I don't think I have much of a choice." "That's a girl," The Captain said as he took her hand and led her to her new home.

*4 Years Later*

Teicu was now 16, she had learned to control her ability, and she and Captain Zakai had become the most feared pirates in the galaxy. She was walking in a shabby town, not knowing what planet she was on trying to get some fuel for their ship. She had stopped keeping track of the planets they landed on a long time ago. Finally she saw a sign that said 'Fuel' and she walked up to it. "How much will it cost to fill up my ship?" she asked the man behind the booth sweetly. "For you sweet heart? 4000 credits," he said and began to laugh. Once he finished laughing he started to swing his hands at her, "Get outta here, you aren't even old enough to have a ship. You're wasting my time." Teicu's green eye began to glow and the man looked over at her, his face dropped and he looked as though he was in a daze. "Listen heresweetheart; you are going to go to sleep now. I may let you wake up, I may not. But if I do, I want you to remember the name Teicu," she whispered in his ear and she punched him as hard as she could. She clapped her hands together and three crew members came running in to the shop. "Take what you can carry out, I need a drink," Teicu said as swiped some hair from her face.

As she continued down the street she heard some loud music playing and what sounded like men fighting. She smiled, "Looks like I found the bar." As she walked inside she noticed how crowded it was, and the crowd was all men. She took a step forward and looked around, she saw men stop their fighting to look at her, as other men dropped their drinks. She sat down at the bar and looked at the alien man in front of her with a smile, "Give me something strong please." "I don't believe you are old enough," the bartender said to her, looking at her suspiciously. Her green eye began to glow again, and she pouted a little, "I am confident I am old enough." "Well, if you're confident then I am too. I'll be right back with your drink," the bartender said with a smile.

A few moments later he was back with a tall glass. She thanked him and continued to look around. "What planet is this?" Teicu asked the bartender. "It's Planet Vanghos," he answered as he shined a glass. Teicu tilted her head, "The last time I was on this planet, there wasn't this many people," she said confused. "Well, the word got out that there is a sword on this planet that is called Cocheuha, it is said that it holds the power to make any man the most powerful being in the universe," the bartender answered her with a bored tone. "Huh, is that right?" she said and downed her drink. She stood up and paid the bartender, she needed to get back to Captain Zakai quickly and tell him about her new discovery.

As she was running out of the bar, she ran into something that felt like a wall and she hit the ground. She looked up to see what happened and she saw two dark eyes looking at her. "Watch where you are going whore!" the boy yelled at her, Teicu stood up quickly and glared at him, "Who do you think you are yelling at me like that!? You could have at least helped me up!" "Why would I help you up, you're the one that ran into me," the boy said crossing is arms. "That doesn't answer my question, who do you think you are!" Teicu said again. "I am Vegeta, Prince of all Saiyans, and you will apologize for scuffing my boots," Vegeta said pointing down to his white boots. Teicu could feel rage about to explode from her, her green eye glowed and she made Vegeta look at her. Vegeta stopped and began to feel weird; he was feeling shy and submissive.

The strange girl was looking at him, her eyes were sharp and he could not look away. Suddenly he was bowing his head to her, and she spoke. "No, you will apologize to me for knocking me down, and being rude," she demanded. Vegeta kept his head bowed to her and he said, "I am sorry for knocking you down, and for being rude my lady." She smiled and let his emotions go. She shimmied passed him and stopped at the door, "Why thank you Princey, if you are still on this planet tomorrow; come find me," she winked at him and skipped out of the bar. Nappa looked at Vegeta in shock, "Prince Vegeta, what just happened?" "I am not sure Nappa, but I need to kill something," Vegeta said and stormed out of the bar.

*Captain Zakai's Ship*

Teicu entered the ship and to the control room where her Captain was sitting. He didn't turn around in his chair but began to speak, "Teicu my darling, did you get our fuel?" "The crew members are on their way back with it," she answered and he turned around. "And how much did it cost me this time?" he asked sounding bored. "I got it for a good price, don't worry. Listen, I heard about something that you might find interesting," Teicu said sitting in the chair next to Zakai. Zakai looked at her and smiled, "Go on." Teicu told him about the sword and they decided to make a new heading.

*One Week Later*

Teicu pulled up a screen and began to type in some codes. "Look, I am picking up a pretty high reading about 150 miles east. Think that could be the sword?" "It is always worth the try; remember to trust your instinct," Zakai said. Teicu nodded and looked out the window, the sun was setting and she could see the sea. Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Why don't you call it a night dearie, you've busy all week," Zakai said with a smile. She nodded and walked towards the door; she stopped and looked at her Captain. "How long do you think it's going to take us to get to the sword?" she asked. "Don't you worry about it; I'll take care of all of it," Zakai smiled.

As Teicu was walking down the ships hallway she noticed a group of crew members sitting in the kitchens. She stopped at the door and they all became quiet. "What are you all talking about mates?" Teicu asked as she entered the room, one of the crew members elbowed the other in the side. "Well, General Teicu, we were wondering about this mission we are going on, is it going to benefit all of us or just Captain Zakai?" one crew member said. Teicu got a cup out of the cabinet and poured some liquid in it. "I am not sure exactly. Why?" she asked. And the crew member that spoke up first stood up, "Well, we were all talking and we wanted to start taking out bigger ships, make more profit. Zakai only goes for the smaller ones and there isn't anything in it for us." Teicu quickly turned around, "Are you talking about starting a mutiny?" The crew member nodded, "We were wanting you to lead us."

Teicu's eyes grew wide; she was honored but slightly upset. She knew that Zakai took care of her well, but never really thought about the crew. 'They deserve something too,' she thought and she stepped forward to the crew members. "Meet back here in 3 hours. We should be at our destination by then," Teicu ordered and the crew began to laugh excitedly. Teicu reached her room and she began to plan the mutiny. The next thing she knew the ship was beginning to shake. 'We must be landing,' she thought and she ran out of her room. She got the kitchens and she stopped at the door to find all of the crew members from last night were in there and ready to go. She smiled and nodded at them and they all followed her. They stepped outside the ship and saw a deep cave and Zakai was about to enter.

Teicu ordered the crew to hide and caught up to Zakai and he glared at her, "I told you not to worry, that I would do this myself." "I would like to not worry, but you are the closest thing to a father I have, I can't let you go alone," Teicu said with a worried look. He shrugged and entered the cave. Teicu turned to look at the crew members and she winked, they ran to the entrance and stood watch. As they walked into the cave Teicu stayed close to Zakai, suddenly he stopped and rubbed his chin. "W-what is it Captain?" Teicu asked and he held his hands out. The rocks began to move and the ground began to shake. He picked up a large boulder with energy and slid it out of the way. Teicus eyes widened at all that she saw. Zakai walked in and immediately picked up The Sword; it was sitting in the middle of a large room carved into the cave.

Captain Zakai held up The Sword, Cocheuha, "The power, it's incredible!" Teicu looked around her, there were several chests filled with treasure, and several rotted skeletons of a number of species around them as the rest of the crew entered the cave. The Captain stabbed Cocheuha skyward; and a white light blasted out of The Sword, through the ceiling of the cave, obliterating the rock and making the sky above Vanghos change into an amazing purple as the beam pierced the heavens. Captain Zakai smiled, "The legends were true! The universe will sing the legend of Captain Zakai Xandran forever!" He then looked at his crew, and was surprised when they all pointed their weapons at him, lasers and swords all surrounded him. "What is the meaning of this!?" he yelled. Teicu smiled, "Let's just say that we have a change in leadership. The crew and I all agree that I'd be the best Captain to lead."

Teicu then walked up to him and said, "Give me Cocheuha, Captain Zakai, and I will give you some of the treasure, enough that you can set yourself up nice and comfy on some far off planet. I learned a lot from you, Zakai; I don't want to kill you if I don't have to." Captain Zakai looked at Teicu, and then at his mutinous crew. He then looked at Cocheuha, "You disappoint me, Teicu. You were like a daughter to me, after my death, it all would have been yours." Teicu quickly jumped just in time to avoid his slash, a wide wave of energy flew out of Cocheuha in a wide arc, obliterating half the crew that was with Teicu! "I'll kill all you scum sucking traitors!" Captain Zakai screamed as he charged at the remaining crew.

The blood of several species filled the air; Captain Zakai was too fast for any of the crew to attack. The few that managed to shoot lasers or blast ki at him had their lasers and ki sent right back at them. In a blur, Teicu saw that she and Zakai were the only living creatures left in the cave. Zakai swung Cocheuha and the blood slid off of it. He pointed it at Teicu and glared at her. Teicu drew her own sword and focused her ki into it, making it glow green, and she hoped it would be strong enough to withstand Cocheuha's power. Teicu ran at Zakai, aiming for a stab at his left leg. Zakai easily dodged the strike then tried to decapitate Teicu. Teicu spun to the side like a ballerina just in time to only get a small cut on her arm.

Zakai then swung up to attack her and Teicu barely blocked the cut in time, and her sword started to crack. Zakai then kicked Teicu in her stomach and tried to blast ki from Cocheuha. Teicu dodged the blast just in time and tried to use her emotion manipulating power. Her green eye glowed brightly as she said, "Calm down, Captain! You know I would never betray you!" Zakai stood still and Teicu continued, "I heard about the mutiny in the Mess Hall. I had to act like I was leading it, to bring the traitors to you. I couldn't fight them all myself after all, but I knew that with The Sword's power, you could." Zakai pointed Cocheuha lower and Teicu walked up to him.

'Now's my chance,' Teicu thought and as fast as a snake stabbed her sword at Zakai's heart. Even faster, Zakai swung The Sword up, blocking her attack and destroying her sword, shattering it into metal shards. "That won't work on me!" Zakai yelled as he backhanded Teicu in her face then kicked her back, right into the wall. Teicu barely rolled away in time to avoid being blasted into dust and quickly fired a ball of ki at her former Captain. Zakai blocked the attack with Cochehua, but it was enough distraction for Teicu to grab a dagger from a nearby chest and run at him. Zakai yelled as he swung at her, Teicu got to her knees and leaned back just enough to avoid Cocheuha. Teicu then used the dagger to cut Zakai's belt and pull it off, along with his sword. Teicu quickly drew Zakai's sword and blocked his descending cut. Teicu saw an opening and kicked him as hard as she could in his chest, making him back off. Teicu then went for another stab that Zakai barely deflected in time then she spun around and hit Zakai in his cheek with the pommel of his own sword.

Zakai was stunned and Teicu ran him through his chest. Zakai looked at her in shock. He then dropped Cocheuha and fell. He looked up at the traitorous Teicu and said, "You were like…a daughter…to…me…" and died. Teicu sucked in air, thankful that she survived then looked at The Sword. All that power! She picked it up, and immediately felt a surge, like nothing she ever felt before as she felt it roar through her cells. 'THIS IS POWER!' Teicu thought with a wide smile. 'And I know who I'm going to use it on first,' she thought as she walked out of the cave with Cocheuha.

*Later That Evening*

Teicu took her men back to town to celebrate her becoming Captain. She couldn't believe the power she was feeling right now, she felt unstoppable. And now she needed to start planning her next move. She decided that she was going to go back to her home planet, she was going to look her father in the eyes, and then she was going to exact her revenge. She looked at The Sword and began to laugh, suddenly there was a tap on her shoulder; she turned around to see a familiar face. "Well hello Princey, come back to apologize some more?" she said with a smirk. Vegeta put his hand on her throat and squeezed; one of the crew members stood up from his chair and she raised a hand. Vegeta was right in her face baring his teeth, "What did you do to me?" he growled at her. She tried to speak but he was squeezing her throat too hard.

Vegeta dropped her and she fell to the ground. "Why don't you follow me and I will explain myself to you," Teicu said, rubbing her throat, Vegeta crossed his arms and glared down at here. "Well? Are you going to move or not?" Vegeta said. "Calm down Princey, you almost choked the life out of me," Teicu said and stood up. She began to walk to a room off to the side of the bar and Vegeta was following her, Nappa following close behind him. Once she reached the room she stopped at the door frame, "This is far as you go, big guy. I want to talk to the Prince alone." Nappa looked to Vegeta and Vegeta only nodded to Nappa. He walked into the room and suddenly he was slammed in a wall with a sword at his neck. "What do you know of Planet Moctezu?" Teicu asked. Vegeta only smirk, "I see you found the Cocheuha Sword that everyone has been after, including Lord Frieza. That is going to make things hard for me you know."

"That doesn't answer my question," Teicu said, pushing The Sword closer to his neck. "I know that it is a worthless planet, the race is average, and there isn't anything there worth profit. Why do you want to know?" Vegeta answered. "You're a Saiyan aren't you? You can help me take out that planet," Teicu said and Vegeta began to laugh, "I may be a Saiyan but I am not a mercenary." Teicu's green eye started to glow and her voice became low and seductive. "What if I told you, it would be worth your while Princey?" Vegeta looked at her and felt her hand brush across his bulge; he couldn't help the hardness that was happening. A smile formed across Teicu's lips and she leaned in and began to kiss him passionately. Teicu felt Vegeta's hands wrap around her waist and she lowered her sword. Vegeta flipped her around and slammed her up again the wall and her legs wrapped around his waist. Outside of the room Nappa was standing by the door and he heard the noises coming from inside of the room, he only shook his head and let out a silent laugh. He walked over to the bar and ordered drink; then walked back to his station.

*One Year Later*

Teicu smiled haughtily at all the Aztrecians before her. Especially at the old man whose face was staring at her hatefully in front of her. The crew she had gathered, with the help of Vegeta and Nappa, had destroyed the capital city of Tenoch and rounded up all the Elders of the Aztrecian Empire, Emperor Moctu V's head was now under her foot, she had slain him personally. "I knew that you were a demon!" the former General yelled at his daughter. "Yes Tahtli, I am a demon. But I didn't become one by choice," Teicu said then crushed the head beneath her boot, making it explode as the Emperor's blood soaked her boots and her father's face. She then glared at her father, "YOU THREW ME OUT! YOU CALLED ME A DEMON! IT WASN'T MY FAULT THAT I HAD THE POWER! I DIDN'T WANT IT!"

Teicu grabbed her father by his throat and lifted him off the ground. "But I became a demon anyway, to survive. A pirate treated me better than you!" she yelled as she squeezed harder. "If I am a demon, then it's only appropriate that I send you to Hell!" Teicu then let him go and he dropped to the ground. Teicu walked back from him and yelled to her crew, "Get the ship ready to leave this mudball, and make it quick! We're not going to have much time!" her crew all ran to the ships. Vegeta and Nappa started to go but Teicu said, "Wait Vegeta! Stay with me, watch this with me." Vegeta looked at her, then looked at Nappa and said, "You get on the ship Nappa, I'll be there shortly." "Yes my Prince," Nappa said, and flew to the ship with the rest. Teicu then drew Cocheuha from its scabbard on her back.

Teicu screamed as she pointed the sword skyward, green lightning flared out from The Sword and the sky turned dark as the blade glowed green. Teicu spun the sword around twice and stabbed the ground beneath her, sending cracks for miles around as the energy left Cocheuha and went into Moctezu. Teicu drew the sword out of the ground and yelled at Vegeta, "Get to the ship!" Teicu and Vegeta took off as the cracks on the ground expanded and glowed green as tremors shook the planet. They got to the ship and Teicu ordered, "Get us to a safe distance, but close enough to watch the fireworks!" The ship blasted off and went into space. Vegeta and Teicu watched as giant cracks scarred the whole surface of Moctezu. At last the planet cracked, and then drew in on itself. The gravitational forces would have drawn the ship in had they not reached a safe distance, as it was it was still being rocked by the forces coming from the imploding planet.

Teicu and Vegeta watched, Teicu with a wide smile as Moctezu became smaller and smaller until at last you couldn't even see it as a small black hole formed, and finally the black hole dissipated. Teicu and Vegeta's laughs could be heard echoing throughout the ship.
