Disclaimer: I dont own DBZ
I felt someone trying to pull me out of the water. I couldn't struggle with the person, but I was really annoyed. Couldn't they let me die in peace? I soon felt the hard ground below my body.
"Don't worry Mindy, I will heal you," the little boy said, and I had to struggle with remembering his name.
"Dende?" I croaked out. Getting air to move through my throat was painful.
"Yes it is me Mindy, now relax while I do this." I couldn't see what he was doing, but I felt a warm glow surrounding my body. It made me want to feel giddy, and I felt stronger too. In just a few minutes, I was back to normal strength. It was like I was never hurt in the first place. I stood up, and brought little Dende in for a hug.
"Thank you Dende!" I said, and gave him a sweet kiss on the forehead, he blushed just like Piccolo did, and I felt another twitch of sadness. Where was Piccolo now? Shouldn't he had been here already? I put Dende back on the ground and looked seriously at him.
"Don't move from this spot. I don't want you to get hurt too, ok?" I asked, and Dende nodded up at me. I smirked and flew off towards the fight again. Gohan seemed badly injured, and Krillin and Frieza were no where in sight. Vegeta stood motionless up in the air.
"Dende! Come help Gohan quick!" My eyes started to water as I took in Gohan's features. He looked so much like his dad. I had promised this boy I would let no harm come to him, and I had failed in my task. I just hope Dende can cure him. Dende came over to me just then, and started healing Gohan immediately. I looked back up at Vegeta.
"Why are you just standing up there? And what happened here? Where is Frieza?" I yelled to Vegeta, who looked like he had just gotten out of a trance. I flew up to him, impatient for answers.
"The kid became angry when he thought you were dead. He started to attack Frieza until Frieza had enough. He came at the kid with lightning speed, and almost crushed the kid's head like a grape. Krillin looked over to where you were, and started taunting Frieza to follow him. I don't know what happened to the shrimp now," he still hadn't answered my question about why he was just standing there, but I could see it in his eyes. He was too horrified of what was happening, and couldn't even take a step forward to help. That didn't make it any better though, he still left my nephew to die.
Just then I heard Gohan's cry of relief as he danced with Dende hand in hand. I flew back down there, and grabbed Gohan into a hug.
"Don't you ever scare me like that again! You hear me Gohan?" I squeezed him as hard as I could until he sputtered, " I can't breathe!" I let go immediately, but still held on to him.
"Don't worry aunt Mindy, I'm not that easily dealt with. It still takes a few more shots before I'm out of the game!" I laughed at his enthusiasm, and put him back on the ground. Then, we both felt Frieza's and Krillin's power levels coming back towards us.
"Looks like break time is over," I said, and flew to the air. Soon Frieza and Krillin were back. Frieza took one look at Gohan and I, and started shaking in his boots. I grinned at the scared expression on his face. Yes that's right Frieza, be very afraid.
"There is only one way to deal with these Earthlings, you have to rip them out by the roots!" Frieza said, and Vegeta laughed in victory.
"We can do this if we hit him together. Lets hit him boys!" I frowned a bit at the 'boys' part, but shook it off. All four of us hit Frieza with our Ki blasts, and billows of smoke erupted around the battle field.
"Yay! We did it!" Gohan cried, and he and Krillin gave each other high five's. I still stared at the pile of smoke, not sure if the battle was over yet. When the smoke cleared, Frieza was still there, protecting his face with his arms.
"Oh no! Frieza survived the attack!" I informed the guys, and they all looked to where Frieza was still floating. Drats!
"I'm going to finish him off once and for all! I'm tired of seeing his ugly face!" Gohan said, and raced to fight Frieza.
"Gohan, no!" I screamed to him as I chased off after him. This kid was just begging to die! Krillin and Vegeta chased after Gohan too until a beam of white light stopped Gohan in his tracks. I knew the Ki instinctively, it was Piccolo! But he seemed different. I couldn't put my finger on it, but I knew Piccolo had changed somehow.
"Mr. Piccolo!" Gohan cried when the white light revealed Piccolo. Piccolo ruffled Gohan's hair and smiled kindly at the boy. I wanted so badly to hug Piccolo, but I knew he was angry with me and probably would have hated the contact. I sighed in both relief and sadness.
"You should leave Namekian, I would really feel better if I kept at least one of your kind alive."
"I'm not going anywhere Frieza. I've come here to personally end you," Piccolo said, smirking confidently in his abilities.
"Piccolo . . ." I whispered, afraid for his well being. He turned his head at me, and went back with locking eyes with Frieza.
"You guys stay out of this fight. I want this to be between me and him," Piccolo said, pointing a finger at Frieza.
"Are you kidding Piccolo? You can't take on that guy by yourself! You need all the help you can get!" Krillin yelled over at Piccolo, but Piccolo wasn't listening. He and Frieza landed back on the ground at the same time.
"Gohan, stand by me," I told him, holding onto his shoulder while the fight was about to begin. Dende ran into the battle field, looking at Piccolo the whole time.
"Dende, you should probably stay back," Piccolo told the little boy. I gasped in surprise. How did Piccolo know Dende's name? The kid did what he was told, and hid behind some rocks. The wind blew across the field as the two fighters stared each other down.
The suspense was killing me, and I almost shouted for them to start the dang fight already. When the wind stopped blowing both fighters charged at each other with amazing speed. They collided with one another, making it sound like thunder.
They took off into the sky, Piccolo was ahead of Frieza, and was surprisingly holding up on his own. I closed my eyes every time Piccolo got hit, but I could hear that Frieza was getting beat up as well. They kept punching and kicking, until Frieza got the upper hand, and sent Piccolo flying into a pile of rocks. My silent scream rocked me to my core. Piccolo!
"I knew that Namek couldn't win! I just knew it!" Vegeta said, and I punched him in the face.
"Shut up Vegeta!" I said to him, and he went speechless.
"Yo-you did not just punch me!" Vegeta screamed after a moment.
"I did indeed, can't you tell from the bruise on your cheek?" I asked, pointing a finger where I had punched him.
"That's it Barlona, I'm going to end you!" I pushed Gohan out of the way as Vegeta and I started trading hits. We were on equal ground, and it bugged the crap out of me.
"Aunt Mindy, look! Piccolo is back up!" I looked to where Gohan pointed, and noticed Piccolo standing up from the rubble. I grinned happily until Vegeta hit me in the face. I flew back a bit, and held my jaw.
"Stop the fighting Vegeta! Look, Piccolo is alive!" Vegeta looked over at Piccolo, and grunted.
"The guy is tougher than I thought, but that doesn't mean anything, I'm still going to end you!" He tried to punch me again, but I dodged it quickly, and sent a kick to his gut.
"This is not the time to fight Vegeta. We need to deal with Frieza first, then you and I can finish this," I said to him, and went back to where Gohan was floating. The fight resumed between Piccolo and Frieza, and my nerves were on end.
They went into the air again, and Frieza had grabbed Piccolo by the collar. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but whatever Piccolo said to Frieza, it freaked him out. They both started to fight again, and I grew more anxious with each punch. Piccolo stopped the battle so he could remove his cape and turban.
"Just to warn you Frieza, I was just getting warmed up!" Piccolo yelled, and I smirked at his confidence.
"Let's go Piccolo!" I screamed happily, seeing as Frieza was getting a serious beating. A few minutes later, Frieza flew to the ground and laughed wildly.
"You will regret this! As you must know I have another secret that I need to share with you. I can transform two more times!" He laughed some more, and I shook my head. Could this day get any worse? Frieza started to transform, and this time it seemed to go faster. Before I knew it, Frieza was some big, pink colored lizard.
"Ugh, gosh he is hideous!" I looked at the thing in disgust.
"Man and I thought Frieza couldn't get anymore ugly, guess I was wrong!" Krillin said, and I couldn't have agreed more.
"Look Namek, you wont be able to beat me now, there is no way!" Frieza said, and he slapped his hand at Piccolo's face. Piccolo flew back into a mountain. Frieza came at the pile of rocks, waiting for Piccolo to emerge. When Piccolo did get out of the rubble, he flew off, probably thinking he was quicker than Frieza.
Unfortunately, Frieza was besting Piccolo in all of his moves, and started blasting Piccolo with high leveled Ki blasts. Frieza wouldn't stop his torturing on Piccolo's body, and Gohan tried to help him.
"No Gohan, let me fight him off," I said and flew over to the battle field as quick as possible. Since Frieza was distracted by hurting Piccolo, I was able to punch Frieza in the back of the head.
"You imbecile! Can't you see I'm busy with the Namekian here?" Frieza screamed at me, and I saw Gohan help Piccolo to the ground. My attention reverted back to Frieza.
"Sorry, but I can't let you hurt my boyfriend anymore. Besides, you haven't had the chance to fight me yet. Don't you want to see what the greatest Saiyan in the universe does against you? I'm sure you're curious." I laughed when a look of greed crossed Frieza's eyes.
"Greatest Saiyan in the universe? Have you hit your head or something Barlona? I am the greatest Saiyan in the universe!" Vegeta screamed at me, while stomping a foot in the air. It was quite funny actually. I completely ignored Vegeta, and spoke to Frieza instead.
"Don't worry about Vegeta over there. I'm sure you know he talks a whole bunch of crap to intimidate people." Frieza nodded towards me, and it was an unspoken agreement to get the fight started. I threw the first punch, which Frieza blocked easily. I didn't let it bother me though, I was just getting warmed up. With lightning fast speed I sent a series of punches and kicks toward Frieza, and he had difficulty blocking any of them.
"How are you so much faster than me?" Frieza asked, and at that time I gathered energy for my new move.
"Geosplice!" I screamed, and a huge green ball off energy shot off at Frieza. The ball of energy attached to his arm, and Frieza's arm started to dissolve off.
"M-My arm!" He screamed, and I laughed at his scared expression.
"You will pay for this! You must be forgetting that I have another transformation I still need to go through with." I scoffed at his threat. I was getting tired of this game.
"Transform then. I'm not even getting a workout over here." Frieza flew onto a little island, and I went back to the others.
"That was amazing aunt Mindy! Where did you learn that trick?" Gohan asked, sitting beside an injured Piccolo. Krillin and Vegeta were no where to be found.
"It just came to me kid, pretty cool though. Where is Krillin and Vegeta?" I asked, looking around the place.
"You wont believe it! Krillin blasted a hole through Vegeta!" At that moment Krillin landed by us.
"So why did you attack Vegeta? Did he get on your nerves or something? I wouldn't blame you one bit." Krillin shrugged his shoulders, but answered me.
"He told me that if I got him to be at an inch of his life, Dende would heal him and he would become stronger. He was really mad that you were defeating Frieza so easily."
"Hmmm," was all I replied back to Krillin. I sat down beside Piccolo, who was breathing pretty hard.
"You know I'm having a sense of deja vu here green bean. How many times do I have to see you hurt like this?" I asked him, and gently caressed his cheek with my hand.
"Aunt Mindy, Krillin and I will go find Dende," I nodded at them while still keeping my eyes on Piccolo.
"I couldn't let you or Gohan get hurt, besides I had a bone to pick with Frieza." Piccolo said through dreadful coughs.
"I thought you told me before I left other world that you weren't going to save me if I got in trouble?" I asked, trying to lighten up the mood.
"I decided you made the right decision, even though I hated it the whole time. I'm sorry about what I said to you," he closed his eyes for a moment, a peaceful expression on his features.
"You were forgiven the moment you said those words to me. Don't you remember what I said to you before I left?" Piccolo nodded his head at me, and stared at me with love in his eyes.
"You said you still loved me. Mindy, the day I fell in love with you was when you were cold that night, and snuggled up in my cape. I knew that from that day forward you had a hold of my heart." My eyes brimmed with tears at his heartfelt declaration.
"If you weren't so injured right now, I would kiss you till you couldn't even remember your name," I said huskily, wanting to kiss him so bad.
"I'm waiting," he invited me, and I wasn't going to be told twice. I jumped forward, grasping his mouth with mine with so much emotion. My tears spilled over, and we both moaned at the pleasure we could give one another.
"Woah there! Can't we keep this PG. for the kids here?" Krillin asked, efficiently killing the mood.
I backed away from Piccolo, who groaned with aggravation. Dende and Gohan were both blushing, seeing Piccolo and I in a compromising position. I didn't mind though, I would shout to the whole world that I loved Piccolo. I motioned for Dende to come over here, and Dende started working on Piccolo.
"So guys, here is the plan. When Frieza finishes transforming, I will take him on. I don't want any of you getting in the way of this fight."
"But Aunt Mindy, I could help you!" I smiled sweetly at Gohan, loving his enthusiasm to help.
"Sorry kiddo, but I need to do this myself. I don't know when your dad is going to get better, so it's my turn on the plate to play hero. Don't worry, I'll be careful."
"You better, last time you went away Gohan got all depressed over here," Krillin said, seeming unaffected when I wasn't here with them.
"Oh and here I thought you were warming up to me Krillin, I guess not." I shrugged my shoulders. I guess the short span of kindness from Krillin was over.
"Hey where is Vegeta? I thought he was already healed by Dende. Did he try to run away again? That coward!" I threw my fist to the ground, which left a huge hole.
"Actually, Dende ran away from Vegeta, he's still around here, somewhere," Krillin informed me, and I looked over at Dende who had just finished healing Piccolo.
"Dende, why didn't you heal Vegeta?" I asked the little boy kindly. Dende, shook his head vigorously, growing more mad.
"I can't! He's just like Frieza, I can't help someone who has hurt my people!" Piccolo put a hand on the shaking kid, and I noticed how his voice changed into someone else.
"Dende, you have to help Vegeta. It will help to fight off Frieza. I know it's hard after everything he's done, but do this for me," I looked at Piccolo curiously. Dende had already flown back for Vegeta.
"Um mind telling me why you did a weird voice impersonation for the kid?" Piccolo looked a little scared, and unsure of how to answer me.
"I fused with another Namekian on this planet to help me defeat Frieza. His name is Nail, and he was Dende's friend. I thought it would be best if Nail spoke to Dende for a second." He wouldn't look me in the eyes, and I just cocked my head to the side.
"So I kissed a stranger in a way? Tell Nail that I didn't mean to kiss him, just you!" Piccolo tilted his head backwards with a joyful laugh.
"I don't think he really minds . . ." Just then, Vegeta came back to the group.
"Well took you long enough, I thought you were dead!" I said in a mock serious tone. Vegeta's expression though was priceless, and I started laughing so hard, I had to hold my sides.
"Be quite Barlona, I don't see what is funny!" Vegeta put his hands into fists, and my laughter grew that much more. This guy was a crack up!
"I-I do! You should see your face Vegeta, it's hilarious!" I fell to the ground with roars of laughter.
"Get a hold of yourself women! Frieza could be done changing any minute!" I looked over to where I last saw Frieza, and to my surprise, a little man stood in his place.
"So where did Frieza go? This little man seems hardly a challenge," I laughed at the new guy.
"Mindy, that is Frieza! And he is as strong as ever!" Piccolo started to shake where he stood, but I still couldn't see it.
"Are you sure he is not Mew Two from Pokemon? I swear he looks just like it!" The whole group did an anima sweat, and fell over. After a moment, they got back to their senses.
"Aunt Mindy, I'm pretty sure that's Frieza over there," at that moment, Frieza decided to teleport right infront of us.
"Um Gohan, I think he's over here now!" Krillin said, backing away from where Frieza stood. Everyone else did the same except for me and Vegeta.
"So this is your greatest form, seems like something messed up along the way!" Vegeta laughed, delighted with his little joke. I had to choke back a laugh myself. Frieza didn't say anything though, he just stood there, letting nothing distract him from whatever he was concentrating on. Vegeta and I sobered up quick, and we became serious once again.
Abruptly, Frieza put his only hand in the air, and said, "bang." Something like a laser Ki blast shot out of his finger, and my only thought was to get out of the way. I dodged the hit before it could touch me, but I heard a cry of despair from someone. I looked behind me, and saw that Dende was on the ground, dead.
"Oh no poor Dende!" I put my hand to my mouth, shocked that the little Namekian was dead. Now there was only Piccolo left.
"Frieza must have seen Dende heal me when he was transforming," Piccolo replied to everyone's unanswered question in a sad voice.
"That monster!" Gohan cried out, and tried to run over to Frieza. Piccolo grabbed him on the back of his neck, halting his movements.
"You can't do anything now," Piccolo said gravely, but I was going to do something about it.
"Don't worry Gohan, I will avenge Dende, and the rest of the people on Namek." I faced Frieza again with a look of disgust.
"I can't believe you would stoop so low as to hurt children," I nearly spat at him with my most acidic voice. I could feel a deep power rising in me.
"Listen you hairless ape, I tire of all of this talking. Can we get this over now?" Frieza asked in a sickeningly sweet polite voice. I nearly wanted to gag, but it also made me more angry. The power inside me rose dramatically higher, to the point where I almost had no control left of my body.
The anger I had at Frieza for destroying everyone on Namek was consumed inside me, giving the amazing power more fuel. I screamed in an outrage, and noticed I had closed my eyes. When I opened them again, I realized everyone was staring at me.
"She's a super Saiyan," Vegeta whispered in awe. I looked down at my self, and gasped in surprise.
Dun-Dun-DUN! So did yall like it? Did some part seem rushed? REVIEW! Please?
