A/N: Boom! I'm back. Hi everyone and sorry for the wait (must be getting tired of hearing it haha) Believe me when I say that I truly love writing my stories, but it's been tough lately. One reason is because... I'm working to one day, be blessed with the opportunity of publishing my own original story. I'm definitely going to try to upload more frequently and have the chapters longer (I'm thinking 2,500-3,00 would be a good start). Anyways, thanks to all of you for the reviews; they really mean a lot.

IdeasRemake:

It wasn't just writing on her wall, it was everything that had happened to her up to that point. Her allies were killed off, her leader tried to kill her out of sheer cowardliness, she spent months hiding and training only for Piccolo to destroy her confidence. She is now feeling the full impact of being alone and useless.

Nah, that's not really my mentality. I'm trying to make this story as realistic as possible (that's why some of the Z-fighters are really hard on her.)

That's kind of a tough one… I mean you have a point, Gohan did save her from Bojack; but on the other hand… he did kill off her group. Even if Bojack did betray her, Bujin, Bido, and Kogu were still in somewhat good terms with her before they were killed by Gohan.

Thank you so much for your review. Hope to hear from you again.

Let's be Friends Chapter 11

Both Gohan and Krillin tensed up as the Hera got nearer and nearer to their location. In all honesty, the fighters had no idea what her purpose for coming could possibly be. "Any chance she's coming with the intentions to thank you for saving her life?" asked Krillin with a nervous chuckle.

"I wouldn't bet on it," answered Gohan. As the Hera got closer, the demi-saiyan decided not to take any chances. "Krillin, I need you to get my mother and take her far away from here."

"No way!" responded Krillin rather quickly. "I'm staying right here to help you-"

"You don't understand," interrupted Gohan. "If she wants to fight, she might use you or mom to gain the upper hand. Trust me, it'll be easier if I handle her alone."

Krillin was hesitant for a moment before reluctantly agreeing. As the former monk was about to head to the small cottage, they both felt the Hera stopping nearby. They knew where she was exactly, but she was still far enough that they couldn't see her with the naked eye.

'Is she hesitating?' thought the demi-saiyan to himself. At that moment, he and Krillin noticed a bright purple light approaching them with great speed. "Move!" yelled Gohan as he quickly jumped out of the way. Fortunately, Krillin also realized what it was and moved. Gohan was about to stand back up when he suddenly felt a foot on the back of his head forcing his face to collide with the ground.

Witnessing the Hera on top of his best friend's son, Krillin got into a fighting stance and lunged towards her.

Zangya spotted his tactic and quickly reacted. She effortlessly phased out of his path and reappeared a few feet behind from him.

Krillin instantly regained his composure and prepared to retry his attempt. It was in that moment that he realized that he was unable to move.

A serious look remained plastered on her face as she raised up her hand revealing the technique which she was using to render the bald fighter immobile. The Hera tightly grabbed her psycho threads and used it to her advantage. With all her strength, she swung Krillin around causing him to crash into every single tree he encountered. With her psycho threads still in hand, Zangya arose to the sky once she noticed the demi-saiyan beginning to stand up again. As she got into an ideal position, she swung Krillin one last time and had him heavily clash with Gohan causing a small crater.

Without hesitation, her hands began to form yellow energy as she unleashed a barrage of ki blasts into the direction of the newly formed crater. After a moment, Zangya finally finished and died down her attack. She started to pant as she felt a burst of exhaustion hit her immensely. She looked on to the crater where the dust cloud was beginning to settle down. To her shock, she realized that both fighters were protected by a golden dome-shaped energy shield. Underneath that shield, she noticed the demi-saiyan now turned super-saiyan standing up.

Gohan quickly condensed the golden dome and fired it as a massive energy wave which Zangya narrowly avoided. "Krillin…" mentioned Gohan as he reverted back to his base form. Unfortunately, Krillin didn't look as if he was in good condition. He tightly gripped the left side of his ribs as it appeared to be slightly broken. "Are you ok?"

"Y… yeah," responded Krillin.

"Go inside," ordered the demi-saiyan referring to the house. "I'll handle her… I need you to go protect my mother. She must be worried about what's going on."

Krillin recognized that he was in no condition to deny his request. "You got it bro… just be careful around her." Once Gohan nodded, the former monk turned towards the cottage and headed there.

The demi-saiyan felt slightly relieved. He now turned his full attention to the Hera whom still looked completely exhausted. "Why are you doing this?!"

Zangya remained focused on him. A clear look of hatred had been visible all over her.

Realizing that he wasn't going to get an answer, Gohan got into a battle stance. "If you refuse to answer my question than I have no choice but to respond to your aggressiveness accordingly."

Both fighters stared each other down. Zangya knew that she was highly outmatched at this point. She needed a lot more strength to fight and possibly find an opening to regain the upper hand. A hint of worry crept up on her as she instantly felt the Namekian's energy heading in their direction. 'Not again,' she mentally sighed with frustration. She knew that if she was going to make a move, it needed to be now. She closed her eyes and mustered all the strength she could. If she were honest with herself, this is the best she felt ever since she arrived at this planet. She truly felt invincible at the moment. After reaching her full power, the Hera launched herself toward the demi-saiyan.

Gohan raised his power and also launched himself. If she wanted a fight, then a fight she would get.


A few minutes later, Piccolo arrived at Mt. Paozu. He quickly saw the raging battle between Gohan and Zangya.


Gohan dodged a punch and watched as Zangya shot a laser from her forehead. Reacting quickly, the demi-saiyan placed both his hands on his own forehead, "Masenko ha!" he yelled as he shot his own blast which clashed with the "Spark Laser" forming a smoke cloud.

Gohan noticed his mentor and quickly signaled him to stay put. He wanted to resolve this problem once and for all. He realized that Zangya was turning pale as the fight continued. Because of this, he knew that while he was more than able to continue this fight, she was extremely vulnerable and wouldn't be able to keep this up any longer. He rushed towards her and began to swing his fists and kicks as the Hera was now in full defense mode.

Unfortunately for the Hera, her time was running out as she was starting to get dizzy. She was also struggling to keep herself in the air as she was now unable to fully keep up with the demi-saiyan's speed. She needed just one opportunity… just one. As if some miracle, that opportunity came when she heard the screams of a woman coming out of the small cottage.


"Gohan!" yelled Chi-Chi as she exited her home out of concern for her son. This fight had lasted longer than what it should've had in her mind. She was completely worried about her son and needed to see him.

Krillin was right behind her as he begged her not to go outside knowing that she would just get in the way. "Chi-Chi, please come back inside."

"Shut it Krillin," responded the Ox-Princess. She turned back to where her son was, "Gohan! be careful!"


The demi-saiyan heard her mother's words and turned to her, "Mom…? What are you doing here?!" That distraction caused him dearly as he suddenly felt the entire world collapsing on to him.


Piccolo witnessed the Hera using the dirty tactic in order to regain control of the fight. He quickly debated whether or not to interfere.


After successfully regaining the upper hand once she kneed him in the crotch. Zangya didn't hesitate to land heavy blows to the demi-saiyan.

Gohan tried to block, but he was nearly seeing stars after what she just did. In an attempt to land a blow, the demi-saiyan swung a mid-slow punch that was easily caught by the Hera.

Zangya grabbed the other arm and with both her legs, she used his body for support as she pulled his arms with everything she had in an attempt to rip both of his arms from his body. The demi-saiyan's screams only fueled her satisfaction.


Chi-Chi watched in horror as she couldn't stand seeing her son being dismantled alive. "Gohan!" she screamed.


At the right moment, Zangya suddenly let go of his arms and with her legs, she launched him straight to the ground and gathered her remaining energy for one last move.

Gohan slowly stood up. At the moment, he still felt the pain flowing through his arms. He had enough of this and realized that he needed to end it right now. With a mighty roar, a golden aurora burst all around him as he turned super-saiyan. With renewed strength, he focused on the Hera who got into her signature position.

"Beauty…"

"So this how it will end?" asked Gohan with a serious expression. "Fine." He too got into his signature pose as a bright blue light began to form, "Kame…Hame…"

Zangya focused all her energy on her final attack as the purple light only got brighter and even more immense than it ever was. All her strength and hatred was going into this move. From what happened in battle Island to just last night. Without even noticing it, her hair and skin tone was once again alternating into different color tones.


Piccolo was surprised at what he was seeing. He recognized the transformation from Bojack when they fought.


Feeling the energy flowing through her, the Hera let out a mighty scream that completely transformed her into the super-Hera transformation without her even realizing it. The purple light nearly doubled in both size and power as it was fueled by the new energy it received.

Gohan recognized what was going on and had no choice but to focus his energy and transform into the next stage of his transformation. The ground began to tremble as both blasts were seconds away from being fired.

The Hera reached her peak as she aimed her arm towards his opponent. "TRIGG-"At that moment, her attack quickly dissipated as she suddenly blacked out and from the air, she dropped straight to the ground.


Gohan saw what happened with confusion as he quickly stopped his attack and powered down back to his base form. Both he and Piccolo reached the Hera's now unconscious body. "What happened?" asked the demi-saiyan.

Piccolo examined her before reaching a conclusion. "Her body must've exhausted all of her energy and immediately shut down."

Before Gohan could say anything, both Chi-Chi and Krillin ran towards them. "Oh my baby are you ok?" asked Chi-Chi with a complete look of concern.

"Mom…" responded Gohan with embarrassment.

"What are we going to do with her?" asked Krillin referring to Zangya.

"I'm not sure…" responded Gohan. "This is the third time she tried to kill recently… I don't know what to do anymore… Maybe Vegeta was right…"

Krillin was a little surprised to hear that, "You think we should just kill her?"

"I don't know," responded the demi-saiyan. The three fighters discussed what their options were until a decision was finally agreed upon.


A/N: And that's it for this chapter. Hope everyone enjoyed it. Sorry for ending this chapter in a rather peculiar spot, but I had an idea where I wanted to take her; but at the last moment, I hesitated. I'm currently re-debating what that "decision" was ( I was thinking of having Piccolo keep her on the lookout where he can keep a close eye on her... but I'm not sure if that would be a good idea.) If you have any ideas or questions feel free to pm me. Don't worry, this is the last time I'm planning on having Zangya fight any of the Z-fighters. The next chapter will start a new arc for her.

Also, I was thinking about trying something new. What if I were to start a social media account dedicated to this? For example, that way, all of you could know what story I'm updating next and how far along the chapters are so nobody would be in the dark and not have any idea to when I'll be updating again. I'm planning to publish even more stories once I get back into my updating schedule. I could talk to all of you guys more freely and notify everyone if I need to take down a certain chapter and why (for example, I'm going to take down "I don't chapter 3" since I'm not satisfied at all with it and I want to take an entirely different approach.) Plus, I could give sneak peaks to chapters or even arcs. Ask questions like what story I should upload next (And not have to ask the same question each time I upload a chapter for a different story.) Maybe even post drawings that you guys did involving my fics. Give details to a new story I'm writing (That way, when I do upload the new stories, everyone will already have an idea of what characters will be involved in it, the main plot, etc.) And, if there are other authors, we could definitely discuss writing a collaboration. The point is, I want to be much more involved with you guys, just like I want you to be involved with my work. I think this could be really fun for all of us, so would all of you be open to that idea?

Thank you so much for your patience and for taking the time to read my stories. I can't express how thankful I am to all of you. T'ill next time and take care.
