Chapter Two: Payback
Ali was the first one to jump out of the Time Machine. "I hate cramped ships!" She shouted in the air, her hands on her back as she popped her spine. The joints went back into place and she smiled. Trunks was preoccupied making sure they were in the right place and right time of the year.
"Yep, we're here alright. I can feel several ki's over in that direction." Trunks pointed. He looked at Ali and smiled.
She nodded and composed her annoyance with a serious face. "What do we do when we get to them? Just show up and say, surprise?" She walked over to him and glared at him. "Make a strategy, Trunks. This why you were never able to defeat the androids." She turned her back to him and then glanced over her shoulder and smiled.
He looked at his hands and then cracked his fingers. "We'll hide until Frieza arrives. From what I can tell, it shouldn't be long until he's here." She nodded and watched as he flew into the sky, quickly tailing him to a column made of rock, where it flattened out almost two hundred feet from the earth.
Trunks and Ali sat there, waiting. She was in a meditative state, feeling two strong ki's coming from somewhere out in space. She opened her eyes and looked up. She smirked as she saw a space ship come into view, the outside having a small layer being burned up in the atmosphere. The round and flat space ship landed a few miles away from them, a cloud of small rocks and dirt circled their ship.
"Looks like we got company." Trunks said to Ali.
"Why don't we make them feel at home?" Trunks stood up and Ali did the same.
Several men came out of the ship followed by two strange alien looking creatures. One though looked as if he was half made out of metal while the other wore regal clothing with a cape flowing down his back.
"Men! Go search for them! And once you've found them, show no mercy." A small feminine voice sounded through the canyon they landed in. And it was a voice Ali knew all too well. The landed side by side in front of the soldiers and the two other aliens. A look of annoyance came over the face of the metal alien and the taller, more regal one, looked confused.
"Frieza," Ali said as she walked in front of Trunks with her arms crossed over her chest.
"Hmm. Have we met before? I know I am the most feared in the galaxy," he waved his hand in the air and an evil smile came across his dark chapped red lips.
Ali smirked and tilted her head up and stared down the evil tyrant.
"And I shall have no problem wiping that smirk off your face! Men! Kill her!" Frieza shouted. The men took to the air and powered up their energy blasts at both Ali and Trunks. Trunks looked at her and shrugged his shoulders. Ali smiled at him and put her hand in the air. A pink ball of ki formed in her hand and then exploded out her palm and through the bodies of the soldiers. Each of them screamed as they disappeared before the four of them on the ground. Only two had small grins across their faces as the others looked angry.
"Not even a warm up, Frieza. I thought you would be bringing some soldiers I could actually play with." Ali looked at Frieza as she lowered her hand.
"Why, you little wretch! I'll show you the power of the feared ruler of the universe!" He shouted at her until he flew into the air. Frieza threw his energy attacks at her; the ki blowing up around Ali and blowing up the ground around her. Ali smirked as she felt his ki was starting to dwindle from his constant bombardment on her. He could begin to hear her laugh from the ground, his ice cold heart was now beginning to beat faster and faster as her laugh grew more sadistic, more mocking. He stopped his barrage and looked at the ground. A huge crater had formed around the woman standing into the center on top of a small column of rock.
"Frieza! Stop toying with me and come down and fight!" Ali yelled, smiling up at him as she watched the tyrant rage.
"I'll kill you!" He screamed as he flew towards her.
His fist collided with her face, sending her backwards and flying through a mountain of rock. It exploded from the impact, falling down to the ground and on top of Ali. Frieza knew better than to think that the woman was dead and flew back into the air, his most powerful attack now beginning to form in his palm that faced the sun.
"You'll regret ever mocking me, you fucking witch!" He shouted at her as he began to laugh menacingly at her, knowing that this was the attack that blew up the worthless planet, Namek.
But, his laughter was cut off and his face turned into shock as Ali fazed in front of him, mere inches from the aliens face. "Missed me?" She smirked and watched as his energy attack suddenly took to the air. She fired a simple ki blast at it and watched as it stirred. It stirred so slightly, like a sun wanting to explode it's solar flare away but, it was to explode in front of them. Frieza flew away and Ali stood where she was, now regretting letting him power up so much for this attack. She held her breath and felt the attack explode, feeling it's flames surround her and blast away most of the earth around her.
Frieza's laugh sounded through the canyon; his bliss was now beyond belief. He felt like this was how it should have ended with that stupid Saiyan back on Namek. He grew angry at the thought. How could that fucking monkey beat him? He shouted in his mind.
Once the smoke cleared, no one breathed. It was silent, Ali's ki now gone and Trunks' stomach dropped. She was dead, he thought. How could he have let her die? He felt as if it was his fault as he fell to his knees and gripped the dirt. He thought she could help him, he thought that he could save the planet she never knew.
Frieza laughed and smirked at his father. "I told you, father! I told you no person can defeat me!"
"Think again." Her voice whispered in his ear. If Frieza had hair, it would be standing on edge. He whipped around and aimed for a punch, but his hands were caught in hers and forced his wrists backwards. She stared into his eyes with hate, with passion for trying to kill her over the years she's been alive.
"W-what? Let go of me, you fucking insect!" He yelled into her face as she held steady, applying more pressure to the bent wrists.
"What ever happened to 'little monkey'? I missed those days," she stared into his eyes as she gave some more pressure.
"L-little monkey? What? No! I thought I had you killed a long time ago! I had you dying on my floor underneath my feet!" He now had the fear she had in her eyes back so long ago as she held him. She was in control now. She was the one who could judge whether he should die or not.
"We're not so different, you and I. Even though I may have a cold heart and the appearance of what I use to look like, on the inside, we're both surviving." Ali snapped his wrists and felt the bones break finally under the pressure she had on them. The blood curdling scream from his mouth made Ali feel invincible, it made her feel as if no one could kill her. She was now making the tyrant pay. Oh, how long she had waited for this day when he would be begging her for mercy and his body broken.
But, something inside Ali stopped. She looked back at the monster and then down on the ground at Trunks who looked at her now with confusion. Ali smiled at him as she let go of one of Frieza's hands. "Trunks! Show this monster what it looks like to become a Super Saiyan! Show him who the monkey's are!" Ali powered up and felt the blood boil inside of her. She felt her muscles contract and expand from the energy flowing through them. Her heart was beating faster and she smiled once the golden glow appeared around her and the long pink hair that she loved was now golden and flowing down her back.
Her emerald eyes pierced through Frieza's soul. "Have fun, my Lord." She smiled as she punched him through his stomach, pulling her hand back out and then igniting her palm with enough ki to destroy half a planet. His screams were useless as he screamed for help and horrifying to everyone, but to Ali, they were closure. They were enough to satisfy years of Hell into ten minutes of pleasure.
The ashes flew away and Ali looked down at the father of the monster. "You take care of him, Trunks. He's worthless to me." She put her hand in the air and brushed away the thought of wanting to kill him.
But, Trunks smiled at the alien in front of him, and, reaching for his sword, took it to the head of the alien and swiped it clean off. A silent gasp was made by him when he could no longer breathe, but, Trunks landed behind him and blasted the headless man away, returning him to his son down in Hell.
Ali landed on the ground and stared at the Super Saiyan in front of her. She nodded and smiled at him with her own emerald eyes and powered down. Her golden hair now returned to it's normal light pink color and blew softly in the wind. "You did well, Trunks." Ali said as she took the sky again, now feeling the energy levels powering for a fight.
And there they were, all in fighting positions as Ali and Trunks took to the air. Ali stared them down, but Trunks' heart started racing as he saw them. There they stood: his hope. They didn't know it yet, but, they were Trunks' last chance at survival.
"Come on, we need to go talk to them." Trunks said to her as he flew towards the group.
Ali sighed and looked down at the space ship that belonged to Frieza. "I'll keep you there if I need an escape from this planet." She grunted as she flew towards Trunks and the group standing on the edge of a cliff.
Trunks got there first and he couldn't help but smile on the inside. He saw his mother in the young and stress free body he had never seen before. He couldn't help but look and stare at her until the man with flame-shaped hair scoffed at him.
"Well boy, who the Hell are you?" His raspy voice sounded out. He had his arms crossed while everyone else was still on the defensive.
"Oh, sorry. It's best if I don't tell you my name right now, but, I'm no enemy, I can assure you that. I'm actually looking for someone. I'm looking for Goku."
"Kakarot? What do you want with that third class scum?" He spat out.
"I need his help and he'll be needing mine." Trunks pulled a capsule out of his jacket pocket and pressed a button at the top until it clicked. He threw it to the ground and it watched as it made a tiny explosion and a metal box was sitting there in place of the capsule. "Is anyone thirsty?" Trunks asked as he pulled a drink out from the metal box.
Ali looked at it questionably and and tilted her head.
"And who are you?" A Namekian asked her.
Ali looked at him with a raised eyebrow. A boy hid behind his legs as Ali glared at him. "I'm with him. That's all you can know for right now." She walked over to the Namekian and looked up into his green face. Her heart wanted to shout her thanks for his people making the wish for those killed by Frieza to come back to life, but her pride wouldn't let her. She then looked at the kid who was now staring her down like she had done earlier to her. "You're pretty brave kid for coming out here while Frieza was here." She said as she knelled down and looked at him eye level.
Her pink eyes stared into his own black eyes. They were filled with both fear and courage.
"I'm just waiting for my daddy to get here." He finally said to her.
She nodded and then stood back up. She looked back at Trunks who was now handing his mother in the past a drink from the metal box. "By the way, how long will it be until Goku finally gets here?" She asked him as he looked at her and then his watch on his wrist.
"It should about three hours." He said to her as he closed the door and then sat down on a rock as he opened the can and took a sip.
Ali walked away from the group and over to the edge of the cliff. "This will be the longest three hours of my life." She whispered as everyone stared into her back and at Trunks.
