Kairi was laying on the ground in her cell, wondering where she'd gone wrong in her life to get her to where she was at the moment.
I shouldn't even be here right now. She thought. I should have died years ago on Planet Vegeta with Raditz and Dad. Instead I'm here, as a pregnant lab rat.
She gave a depressed sigh. I wish Chi-Chi had just killed me instead of leaving me for Gero to find. That would have made it way easier. It would have finished the dreams, the pain, everything would be gone. Maybe Gero will just kill me after he's done and get it over with.
He's never going to be done though. Kairi thought bitterly. He's going to keep me here as his damn pet until the day I die, then he'll just take my kid and do the same thing, it'll be an endless cycle.
She heard the glass door to her cell slide open, and she got up with a sigh. Every day they took her to another room to check on her health. She didn't know why. It's not like I can do anything to hurt myself since I got moved to a padded room.
After her attempted escape she'd been told Gero had impregnated her while she was knocked out, and she'd been moved to a padded Cell after she'd tried to kill herself in the old cell.
The new one was completely empty except for her, and she only got out when they wanted to test her for something.
Food was delivered through a smaller section of the see through door at the bottom that slid to the side. And ten guards were posted inside the cell while she ate to prevent her from hurting herself. Initially she'd tried to choke herself on the various foods and utensils that were provided, but they'd knocked her out with gas and posted guards as she ate.
Kairi barely paid attention as they poked her and scanned her with various machine's. She didn't even listen as they said the results, she knew what the results were, she was completely healthy. Why bother, it's not like I get sick or anything.
Then she realized the scientists were staring at her, waiting for a response to something.
"What?" Asked Kairi, she never paid attention anymore, there wasn't much of a point.
"How long is the pregnancy period for your people?" Asked the lead assistant, a tall woman with bushy brown hair.
"3 months." Replied Kairi flatly. She didn't ask why, there was no reason to.
"Good." Said the woman, sounding relieved. "We were worried, our pregnancy period is nine months."
Sounds tough. Thought Kairi. It's not like it matters though, I'll be here for the rest of my life anyway.
And so the cycle repeated, over and over every day was essentially the same. An endless cycle of tests with food thrown in the mix at an interval Kairi couldn't figure out.
Kairi felt entrapped by the cycle, but she couldn't get out, she simply had to put up with it. She wanted so badly to get out of the lab, the room, the tests, even if it killed her, but there was no opportunity.
This cycle came and went for three months, then a change happened.
She'd given birth to twins sometime ago, she couldn't tell exactly how long it had been, but she felt fine for the first time in months. And Gero walked into her small cell.
She stood up and simply looked at him blankly, he returned the stare.
What does he want? Wondered Kairi irritably.
She broke the silence. "What do you want?"
"We're going to start testing your reaction to specific chemical compounds." He replied. "I'm making sure your still living, and that you're well enough to do so."
"I'm fine." Replied Kairi sharply. "And I don't need your concern, I'm still going to die at the end anyway."
He shrugged. "Actually I'm going to release you after just a few tests, your immune system is near perfect, so the tests will be some relatively uncommon compounds."
"Start whenever you want." Replied Kairi. "I'm not going anywhere."
Gero merely nodded and walked towards her, pulling a needle out of his coat pocket as he did approached.
Kairi allowed him to take her arm and insert the needle. After he'd finished putting whatever it was into her bloodstream he walked to the door and just before he exited he turned around.
"This compound will cause you to experience hallucinations, be sure not to harm yourself to badly." Then he was gone, and the glass door slid shut behind him.
What're hallucinations? Wondered Kairi as she watched Gero go. Doesn't matter, I'll be fine. Maybe I'll get lucky and it'll just kill me.
She waited for a little while for something to happen, but nothing did. She just shrugged. Guess it's not going to do anything, should've known my immune system is to strong.
Kairi dropped to the ground and started doing push-ups. After a time she broke a sweat, and eventually the sweat dripped into her eyes. She wiped the sweat out of her eyes, and when she opened them she closed her eyes and opened them again.
In front of her was a little boy with long, spiky hair that went down past his knees. He was dressed in black and brown armor with a pair of spandex shorts.
There's no way this is real. Thought Kairi. I'm just seeing things. But wouldn't that mean I'm going crazy?
Still, the young woman felt a strange urge to say something, to confirm that he was real, even to see her little brother again.
"R-Raditz?" Said Kairi uncertainly. "Is that really you?"
"Of course it is, failure." Replied Raditz scornfully. As he looked her in the eyes she saw the contempt in them, just as clearly as she saw the boy himself.
"As good as it is to see you furball." Replied Kairi sharply. "There's no way I'm gonna let you talk to me like that."
"And what are you gonna do about it, huh?" Replied her brother contemptuously. "You got beaten by a little girl even younger than me. And you still haven't killed these pathetic earthlings yet."
"It's not like you'd do any better!" Snapped Kairi in response.
"He's right you know." Said a gruff voice from her right. "You're pathetic."
Kairi whirled in the direction of the voice, and froze gaping. Standing there was her father.
He was wearing his normal armor, completely whole with no blood, the bandanna he'd been wearing when she'd last seen him was missing as well.
"But dad I tried." She replied desperately. "And I kept my promise."
Bardock snorted. "Your sitting here, after getting beaten by a child and allowing some pathetic earthling to experiment on you, telling me it's alright because you kept a promise? Tch, you're a complete disgrace."
"But dad, I can't-" Started Kairi as she backed away from her brother and father.
"Just stop making excuses and accept that you're no warrior." Said a soft voice from behind Kairi.
She turned and saw her mother standing behind her, in green, black, and red armor with a black sleeveless spandex jumpsuit.
"Don't you even start with me!" Snapped Kairi as she felt her tail start to lash.
"You're so weak you quit fighting to become a butcher! I don't want to hear nothing from you about being pathetic!" She shouted at Gine.
"I'd take her over you any day." Said yet a different voice.
Kairi turned and this time it was Chi-Chi. The young Saiyan woman felt her eyes widen and she backed up at the sight of the younger warrior.
"W-What are you talking about she's way weaker than I am?!" Retorted Kairi, panicking. How did she get in here?
"She doesn't go around talking crap, then whine about being of a higher class when she can't back it up." Replied Chi-Chi. "Your talk is cheap, and you're pathetic."
"Sis, they're all absolutely right." Said a voice from in front of her.
Kairi looked down and saw Kakarot, soaked in blood, looking up at her. He was missing half of his head, and there was a massive hole in the center of his chest.
Kairi felt her back hit the corner of her cell farthest from the door as tears welled up in her eyes.
"I died because you couldn't keep your promise Sis." Said Kakarot. "You lost your fight, and I died. You've completely failed at everything."
Kairi wanted to say something, but she couldn't bring herself to do so. Is everything they're saying true? Could I have failed that badly?
They continued to talk to her, telling her all the places where she'd failed, blaming her for everything.
She looked up from where she'd collapsed in the corner. "Can you stop? I get it." She said blankly as tears fell from her eyes.
Raditz was suddenly in front of her. "Whining again?" He grinned. "You've whined enough since you've come to this planet."
"I'm not-" Kairi began but she was cut off by her father.
"Don't waste everyone's time kid. Just take it."
They went back to insulting her.
"SHUT UP!" She screamed as loud as she could.
They went quiet for a moment, then they started up again even louder than before.
She stuck her hands over her ears in attempt to shut out the voices, but it didn't work, they only seemed to get louder.
Eventually she just couldn't take it anymore. She lifted her head and looked up at her mother.
"Can you just kill me? Please?" She asked quietly.
"Now you're begging for someone to kill you. I didn't think you could go any lower." Replied Kairi's mother contemptuously. "No, your not even worth killing."
Kairi allowed her head to fall back down, and she finally allowed the tears to flow freely down her face as she hoped this would end.
After a time the room flooded with gas, and Kairi felt herself pass out.
The next time Gero walked out after giving her an injection Kairi stood there for a while, then she started to feel strange.
She felt tired, and sore. She also felt hot and cold at the same time. After a while she became dizzy, and collapsed on the floor.
The feeling got increasingly worse until the gas came and relieved her once again.
Gero gave her various other injections that didn't effect her that badly, for a while.
Kairi was sitting in the corner after Gero had given her the most recent injection. Then she started to feel as she had several times before, a sensation she'd come to know as feverish, from the various lab assistants.
It was far worse this time, she was sweating heavily in the corner, and shivering at the same time, and her head was a mass of pain. She was only semiconscious when she heard the door to her cell open.
"She's sick, should we take her now or wait for later?" Said a man's voice.
"Take her now, if we don't do it now we won't get another chance." Replied another.
Am I hearing things again? Thought Kairi as she felt herself being lifted up and carried through her cell door.
No, I guess not. She opened her eyes to see who was carrying her, and closed them when the massive intake of light caused her head to hurt worse.
Whatever was carrying her, it was warm, and Kairi tried to get as much warmth as possible as she was carried through the building.
Then she felt herself being laid down on something that felt suspiciously like dirt. And some kind of cloth was cast over her. Kairi wasted no time pulling it closer to her, attempting to get warm even though she was sweating heavily.
"Just wait there and take a nap." Said the voice from before. "You'll be fine, Gero won't find you hear."
A nap sounds nice but… Her thought trailed off as Kairi fell asleep.
Any reviews will be very much appreciated.
Thanks for reading.
