"P-please tell me we will be leaving this world very soon…?" Marva stammered out, clinging tightly onto Selena's arm while her golden pupils had shrunken in size as she gazed around at their current surroundings.
"Don't worry. I just have to make sure I lock onto the correct planet." Selena reassured the trembling woman, keeping her own eyes closed while her hand was grasped around her mother's crystal.
When Selena and Marva had touched down on the planet known as Xacladus, the Saiyaness had been surprised by how frightened Marva had become just from seeing the harsh landscape. The humidity was incredibly warm and almost oppressive, yet it was no surprise for there were volcano's and cliff sides that had magma running down them scattered almost everywhere.
Even the water was red, having a texture that looked eerily similar to blood-the sky a pale yellow while the earth was a dark orange and red color, giving the place an almost menacing appearance.
Marva had explained that her planet had been one that was filled with mainly water and ice, her people even able to live underneath the water if they so desired. Fire had always been something the blue haired woman had never been fond of, so seeing a planet that was completely made up of the dangerous element, she was unfortunately having to face one of her greatest fears at the moment.
Though in truth, the Saiyan princess didn't want to linger too long on this planet herself. She had sensed other life forms on the fiery rock, and Selena was a bit concerned about running into them. It was possible they were just as hostile as their world appeared.
One person in particular seemed to have an exceptionally strong energy level, and she definitely didn't want to have an encounter with him or her. They gave her a bad vibe, just like the sudden power level she had abruptly detected; his familiar presence causing her to tense up.
"Is something wrong?" Marva questioned worriedly, noticing the pink haired girl was the one who now appeared terrified for her face had grown lightly blue.
"Frieza…" was the only thing Selena managed to whisper out. She gulped, instantly wishing that she had never learned to sense power levels. Having always known Frieza was a monster, someone you never wanted to face the ire of, in all her wildest dreams she never would have imagined anyone could have such a horrifying aura like the one currently emanating from him.
Part of her didn't want to go anywhere near Planet Namek, but she could sense other life forces there, including her brothers. Yet Vegeta's was very weak, this causing the lavender eyed female to chew on her lower lip hard enough where she could taste her own blood.
"When I teleport us to Namek, I'm going to do my best to make sure we're no where near Frieza. Just promise me you'll stay hidden and won't let him see you…" Selena cautioned, taking both of Marva's hands in her own.
Marva gave a slow nod at the urgency and fear in Selena's tone, neither of the girl's realizing the pair of golden eyes that were observing them.
"What are they doing here…? No…perhaps they could be of some assistance to me," he pondered, about to make his presence known as he had lowered his own energy level where he wouldn't be detected.
However when the two females vanished right before his eyes, the man known as Zos let out a quiet swear, even if their abrupt disappearance was a bit startling. He glanced backwards, his eyes narrowing into slits when noticing a sudden explosion. The bastard seemed to be torturing the villagers once again.
Looks like I'm still on my own…Zos realized in frustration. He would even take the help of that demon that he fought against in the Seventh Sanctum Tournament. Yes…A demon would be exceedingly helpful at the moment…
The lush green planet Selena and Marva had found themselves on was a welcome change to their previous location. Yet Marva was still quivering in fear, having fallen to her knees for she could sense Frieza's chilling power level herself now. She wasn't certain who was more intimidating: Broly, or this creature.
"I-it's too dangerous for us to be here! We should leave!" Marva begged, reaching up to grip onto Selena's slightly smaller hand.
Knowing how Marva felt, Selena shook her head with a small smile. "I'm really sorry for dragging you into this mess…but I can't leave. Not without my brother. Just stay here behind this large rock and keep your energy low."
After taking in a steadying breath of air Selena disappeared on the spot, appearing near the battlefield, yet by sheer luck, not close enough where the others could see her. Frieza's characteristics had drastically changed from what she remembered, but that wasn't what caught the Saiyanesses attention. No, it was Vegeta who was laying on the ground; his torso heavily injured where he looked close to death's doorstep.
Seeing her older sibling in such a weakened and rather fragile state caused Selena's figure to shake in pure anger. And despite her previous apprehension, she sped toward Frieza. Facing off against a man with spiky black hair who was clad in orange, the lizard-like male didn't notice the person encroaching upon him until it was too late.
"Wha-?" Frieza started to say, a kick connecting with his turning face, and the alarmed alien was launched into a nearby cliff; the impact being hard enough where he went crashing straight through the hard rock.
"Eh? Where did you come from?" the spiky haired individual questioned, a surprised expression on his rather innocent looking face.
Not answering him, Selena instead rushed up to her brother's side, kneeling down beside him where she gazed at him with sorrowful eyes.
"Oh, Vegeta…I wish I could have gotten here sooner," she apologized, taking hold of one of his white gloved covered hands.
Vegeta managed to open one of his eyes, the other too swollen to do so, and his demeanor became one of immense shock. "Se-Selena…?! But how…?"
"Shh…save your strength. I'll explain later." she whispered out gently, turning her attention on Frieza who was hovering up in the air.
Seeing the Saiyan female, someone that should be dead, left Frieza stunned himself. But his shock soon turned to outrage. Selena simply glared back at him with a look that clearly said 'you're going to pay for this!', before teleporting out of the vicinity.
Marva couldn't help but jump when Selena popped up nearby, but she deeply frowned when viewing the state the male she had brought with her was in.
Without Selena even having to say a word, Marva moved over to Vegeta where her hands started to gently glow; the Saiyan princes numerous injuries very slowly beginning to heal.
"Mind telling me…what the hell is going on…?" Vegeta demanded, coughing since his broken ribs made it difficult to breathe, let alone talk.
He scowled since Selena didn't answer, but large tears were forming in her eyes, and he grunted in slight pain when the 'annoying' girl threw herself on top of him.
"I-I've missed you so much, brother…!" she sobbed, causing the male beneath her to lightly twitch as her tears soaked the armor he wore over his blue spandex suit. "I n-never thought I'd s-s-see you again…"
Truthfully he was immensely relieved to see that his little sister wasn't dead like Frieza had informed him, not that Vegeta would ever tell the weeping girl this. He had the suspicion that Frieza had something to do with his sister's untimely demise. The lizard claimed it had been an unfortunate 'accident' and she had been caught in the planets destruction. Yet no matter how pathetic Selena was, Vegeta knew she would have been able to escape before the useless rock was incinerated.
Either way, it gave him even more of a reason to want Frieza dead.
"W-would you stop rubbing your snot on me, woman…!"
"And your clinging I believe is damaging him further, Selena…"
Still sniffling, Selena gradually let go of Vegeta, using her arm to wipe at her reddened eyes as this earned a scoff from her brother. She was a grown woman who was behaving like a weak little girl.
"If you're done caterwauling, mind telling me where you've been and who the hell this woman is?" Vegeta ordered blandly, earning a small scowl from Marva. From Selena's descriptions, she had gathered Vegeta wasn't the nicest person out there in the galaxy, but she didn't realize he would be this arrogant.
Giving the usually temperamental male a small smile, Selena went into detail of how Frieza had sent his soldiers to dispose of her; that she would have been killed if not for a half-Saiyan like herself saving her. She told Vegeta how she remained with them and became close to Marva, leaving out the part where Paragus wanted to use her as a breeding tool, and instead that she had just learned of his location by chance and had decided to try and reunite with him.
"Heh…To think there were other Saiyan's out there besides Kakarot and myself," Vegeta mused with a small smirk. "That bastard Frieza really did a half-assed job of eliminating us…"
"So that man was a Saiyan, too?" Selena hummed out, placing her index finger against her lip thoughtfully. "He'll probably need help against Frieza…"
Narrowing his onyx orbs, Vegeta sharply grabbed onto Selena's wrist when she moved to stand up. "I'll deal with Frieza after this woman hurries up and heals my wounds myself. You will stay here and not get in my way,"
Vegeta unleashed a small hiss of pain when Marva pressed down on his wounded chest, a sweet smile on the blue skinned woman's lips as she stared down into Vegeta's angered orbs.
"My healing takes time. And from the state you are in, you won't be going any where anytime soon. And my name is Marva, not woman."
A small sweat drop rolled down Selena's head since she swore electricity was shooting out of both Marva and her brother's eyes as they glared at each other. They seemed to instantly dislike one another, and she wondered if leaving them alone was really wise?
"D-don't worry…I won't engage in combat unless this Kakarot guy and the others look like they need assistance," Selena promised, dusting off the white pants she wore after she stood up. "Just focus on recovering for now, Vegeta."
Before Vegeta could argue with her anymore, Selena had teleported away, causing the raven haired male to swear underneath his breath while he gazed sullenly up at the pale green sky.
"I understand you must be worried about her, but your sister is stronger than you give her credit," Marva voiced in a cool tone to the Saiyan warrior. "And she may be reckless at times, but she is no fool."
Vegeta didn't respond, letting out a simple "tsk!' as he closed his eyes. Even if his brat of a sister had grown stronger since he had last seen her, she still would be no match against Frieza. He wasn't even sure if that fool Kakarot could end Frieza's reign for good…He didn't like to admit defeat, but part of him wondered if any of them would actually escape this place with their lives…?
The group of unknown warriors jumped when the pink haired girl from before had materialized not too far from where they stood, yet her lavender eyes were focused on Goku and Frieza who were currently engaged in fast hand to hand combat in the sky.
"Erm, I hope this isn't rude, but who exactly are you?" a short bald headed man asked in a puzzled tone, a nervous smile on his lips.
Blinking multiple times, Selena turned to the three who were looking at her curiously. Well, the lime skinned male was giving her more of a distrusting gaze, this causing her to smile meekly.
"Ah! I'm sorry about that!" she quickly apologized, giving a low bow. "My name is Selena. Vegeta happens to be my older brother, so thank you so much for helping him against Frieza."
"VEGETA HAS A SISTER?!"
Selena flinched from the bald headed male and child's loud proclamation before scratching at her cheek since most people tended to react like this when discovering Vegeta and her were related. She supposed this was from the fact that they didn't exactly look alike. Unless you counted their similar thick eyebrows.
"C-can't believe someone like Vegeta actually has such a polite girl like you for a sibling…Anyways, I'm Krillin," the human male said while rubbing at the back of his neck. "The kid here is called Gohan. And the tall intimidating looking fellow there is Piccolo."
Selena smiled softly, nodding her head in acknowledgement. "I see. It's nice to meet all of you,"
"Hmph. Just don't give us any trouble like that brother of yours has, and we won't have a problem." Piccolo warned in a cold manner, giving the evil eye to the female before his attention went back on the battle.
A small uncomfortable laugh left Selena's lips, wondering what sort of 'trouble' Vegeta had caused for the group? But then, she probably didn't want to know...Though she was surprised when Gohan looked up at her with a friendly smile.
"How is Vegeta, miss Selena? Is he going to be okay?"
He's so cute Selena couldn't help but think, having to hold herself back from hugging the small child.
"Yes. A friend of mine is healing him at the moment," she replied with a kind smile. "And please, just call me Selena."
Gohan nodded, but the smile on his face faltered some as he said, "I hope Frieza doesn't find out about your friend. Our friend Dende could heal too, and Frieza killed him when he saw his ability…"
Selena felt her body grow cold at this information, turning to gaze up at Frieza with clear hatred. So many innocent people had lost their lives to this monster. She knew she was no where pure herself in that regard…but most of the people Vegeta and her had murdered were under Frieza's direct orders. Neither of them had the chance to live their lives the way they wanted.
It was short, but the time I spent with Broly and Marva were some of the best moments I ever experienced. I…want to have more special times like that. I want Vegeta to be able to have opportunity's of his own choosing as well…
None of that would come to pass if the one called Kakarot couldn't beat Frieza. Once seeming equal almost in strength, he was now struggling against the red eyed male, taking numerous injuries on different parts of his body.
What was further troubling, Frieza had just used an attack that had split Namek in two, this feat causing Kakarot to pause in his fight. It seemed he was having doubts in whether he could defeat Frieza or not.
"I think your friend, Kakarot, needs help…" Selena whispered out, knowing she shouldn't keep standing around like this.
"Kakarot? Oh, that's what Vegeta kept calling him. His names actually Goku." Krillin corrected, a concerned frown on his lips from witnessing his best friend being tortured by Frieza.
When it looked as if Frieza was going to drown Goku by standing on top of his head, pushing him deeper into the water, the Saiyan fighter surprised his onlookers by bursting out of the lake and hitting the monstrous Frieza with a fierce counterattack.
Much to Goku's friends and Selena's horror despite everything Goku had put into his attacks, Frieza was barely injured. The bruises and scrapes he had received though clearly angered the emperor of evil for his face bore one of pure animosity.
"T-this doesn't look good…!" Krillin gulped out, his form badly shaking from witnessing Goku get knocked painfully to the ground where Frieza began to approach him leisurely.
Broly…I wish you were here. You'd be able to deal with Frieza. I just know it Selena found herself thinking, her own trembling hands resting over her heart. A frown soon arose on her light pink lips realizing she was once again falling into her bad habit of relying on others, gripping at her shirt before shocking Gohan, Krillin, and Piccolo when she raced off toward Frieza.
"Are you ready to die now, weakling?" Frieza questioned in a low tone, his finger glowing a dangerous looking pink.
Not being able to sense energy himself, Frieza some how knew an energy blast was headed straight for him; nimbly dodging the light purple blast as it destroyed a nearby cliff side.
"Darn it…I was hoping that would hit…" Selena whispered through gritted teeth, trying not to let her fear show when Frieza's piercing gaze landed on her.
A cold chuckle escaped Frieza's lips, and he peered up at the last female Saiyan with a dark smirk, "I never believed you were as foolish like those other monkey's, but it appears I was mistaken. You had the opportunity to escape here, yet you chose not to…" He trailed off, his look becoming more icy. "Still, I'm curious how you're even here in the first place."
Nibbling at her lower lip, Selena hesitated a moment before saying as boldly as she could, "I'm sorry your plan to eliminate me didn't work out. Perhaps you should find better soldiers…"
"…Is that so? I suppose that was my mistake. Instead of sending weaklings to do the job, I should have just shot you down where you stood myself!" Frieza snarled out, shooting toward the lavender eyed female at lightning speed.
A light squeak left Selena's lips, and she barely managed to teleport away before Frieza's fist could connect with any part of her body.
I'm definitely no match for him physically, but if I can keep him at a distance and hit Frieza with Ki blasts, maybe it'll cause some damage to him. Or at least, stall him long enough to give Ka-, I mean Goku time to recover…
For the moment, Selena was sending a volley of small, yet fast, light purple Ki blasts at Frieza. She could tell he was becoming vexed, either trying to dodge the volatile assault or merely knocking them away like they were nothing.
"Is that really the best you can manage?" Frieza taunted, a dangerous gleam shining in his eyes.
Selena just smiled faintly, moving her index finger in a come here motion. This was a move she had been practicing on the holograms she fought back on Paragus' ship, and lucky for her, Frieza hadn't caught onto it.
The fact that he had just landed a kick to the girl should have caused her to yelp out in pain like he had wanted, yet much to Frieza's chagrin, Selena was still smiling. What infuriated him even more, was that he had been the one to cry out when numerous blasts hit him from behind.
Apparently, the small Ki blasts that he hadn't destroyed she had directed back at him, and he hadn't even realized she was doing it.
While she had impacted hard with the ground, her body aching in protest, Selena had pulled herself back onto her feet where she began forming a good sized Ki blast in both of her palms.
"Ultra…Sonic…Blast!" she shouted, sending the Ki wave that contained most of her energy at Frieza. Panting lightly as she watched the tyrant grapple with the large blast, the young woman prayed that it would consume him…only to have her hopes dashed when Frieza managed to knock the energy ball far away from him.
"Such a shame. It looks like your ace in the hole was an utter failure," Frieza rasped out, this time making sure he didn't give the girl time to use her unique teleportation ability, and he landed a punch right in her stomach.
Letting out a cough of pain, Selena didn't even get to recover from literally having the breath knocked out of her. The next blow Frieza landed on her sent the Saiyaness flying backwards, and she ended up tumbling as she collided with the ground, landing on her side.
D-dammit…no matter how much I trained, I'm still weak Selena thought in frustration, tears forming in her eyes from both the disappointment in herself and the intense pain that she felt all over her form.
"You must be in so much pain right now, my dear. Don't worry, you won't feel anything soon," Frieza said in a mock form of sympathy, using his foot to kick Selena where she was lying on her back before placing it on her bruised stomach which earned a small whimper from the girl. "It's only a pity Vegeta isn't here to see his sweet little sister breathe her last breath."
Forming a ki blast in his palm, an almost demon-like smile appeared on the alien's lips. "But I am merciful. You were a worthy soldier to me, so I shall make your death a quick and painless one. And take solace in the fact that you won't have to face death alone. Once I find your brother. He'll be joining you in hell."
Closing her eyes since she didn't want to stare into Frieza's cruel eyes any longer, she swore she heard Vegeta's voice screaming out, "FRIEZA" at the top of his lungs, this causing her to inwardly chew on the inside of her mouth.
Stay away, please…Don't let him kill you too….
"Vegeta? How nice of you to join us. But as you can see, I'm busy at the moment so just wait for your tu-"
For some reason, Frieza had been unable to finish his sentence, but Selena could hear him crash into one of the nearby mountains; the collision being so hard that it sounded like it was crumbling down on top of him.
The feeling of someone gently lifting her up, Selena expected she would see Vegeta once she opened her orbs. To her surprise, it was a person she had feared she might not see again. At least, not any time soon.
"Broly…?"
(A/N: Poor Frieza. Getting sneak attacked twice. xD And he's going to really regret pissing off Broly~ Also as you can see, I have a plot in mind with Zos that will come into the story later on. Well, I'm still working it out in my head, so hopefully it'll be interesting in the end. ^^')
