Piccolo: Yea, you might love them, but you still don't own DBZ.
Me: O.O . . . SHUT UP PICCOLO!
My body had a yellow glow around it, and I myself was flickering with blonde to back to black hair. It didn't feel complete though. Like I had only reached halfway there.
I tried to finish whatever process had started, but I couldn't find anything. I was stuck in this half form, and the true ultimate power I felt before was no longer in reach. I cursed Vegeta under my breath, he was the one who disrupted it all.
I looked behind me, and saw Krillin, Piccolo, and Gohan staring at me with awe as well. I smirked playfully at them, then turned my head to Frieza. He had a scared expression on his face, and he seemed to be backing away a few steps.
"This is impossible! You can't be a super Saiyan! Those don't exist!" My tail flicked around in anger, and I could feel that it wanted me to destroy Frieza.
"Nothing is truly impossible," I said, and my voice sounded different too. As if a thousand other Saiyans were speaking through me, and all of our voices combined to make one eerie sound of triumph. Frieza backed away some more, and I laughed in an almost evil vindication. Without looking at the group behind me, I spoke to them.
"Maybe you guys should step away from the battle field. I wouldn't want you guys to get Frieza's extremities all over you," I laughed again, and I felt Piccolo take Gohan and Krillin away. Vegeta stayed in place.
"I was including you in this too Veggie head," he growled at me, but otherwise ignored the comment.
"Well just in case you croak and fall over, I'll be here to take on Frieza." I scoffed at his remark, he could be so cocky.
"I appreciate the vote of confidence Vegeta, but I can take on this one armed, over sized lizard in my sleep!" Then again, I was pretty cocky at the moment also. Must be the super Saiyan in me talking.
"Come on Frieza, I'm waiting!" My taunting seemed to shake him out of his scared state.
"Super Saiyan or not, I will still defeat you!" Frieza made his way to assault me, but I dodged his hits easily. It was a pity actually, thinking that before I was no match for this guy.
What a load of crap!
I soon tired of this game, and gave him one good punch to the face. I had powered it up to make it a super punch of some kind. I chuckled at the shocked expression on Frieza's face. I really wanted a picture of it. I pretended to yawn, and a blood vessel on top of Frieza's head started to throb.
"I would really like to end this fight in this century, if that's alright with you?" I heard him growl and bare his teeth at me.
"I will be ending this right now! I have only been using one percent of my power, now you will see fifty percent!" I rolled my eyes at the lizard.
"Enough with this whole, 'just wait and I will show you an even greater power!' type thing. The act is old Frieza, and I'm not trembling in fear here." With an evil little smirk, Frieza came at me head on, and to my surprise, hit me in the gut. I gasped out in pain.
"You Saiyans are all the same. You like to fight, but when matched with a greater opponent, you fall from grace." He used his tail to pin me in a chock hold. I couldn't get out, his strength was too strong now. I tried to grab onto his tail with my hands, but it was no use.
I even tried to get my own tail to pry me loose, still to no avail. He was cutting off my oxygen, and the meager power I had of the super Saiyan vanished again inside of me. I was back to regular, old Mindy. Frieza decided to use me as a rag doll, and punched, and kicked me till I was sore and broken all over.
"This is what you get for dissolving my arm off!"
"Put her down!" A voice said, and at first, I thought it was Piccolo. When I opened my eyes, I realized it was Vegeta.
"Are you going to save her Vegeta?" Frieza mocked, and tightened his hold around my neck. I squeezed my eyes shut, and thought only about keeping my meager supply of oxygen.
"I don't care so much about her, but as you can see, she is in no condition to fight now. Besides, I'm a lot stronger than Barlona. She could only get halfway to being a super Saiyan. I'm a full super Saiyan!" Frieza laughed, and then tossed me down to the ground hard. I gasped in pain, and tried to crawl away.
"Lets see how you hold up Vegeta. So far, I've been disappointed in the lot of you," was all I heard before the sounds of fighting emerged. I kept crawling, trying to find the rest of the gang.
Could I get a hand over here? I sent a telepathic thought to Piccolo and Gohan. It was something King Kai taught me in other world. As soon as I sent the message, I felt hands helping me up from the ground.
"Are you okay Aunt Mindy?" I heard Gohan ask. I nodded my head weakly.
"Yeah, I'm going to take that as a no," Piccolo grunted, and I could tell that he was angry.
"J-Just pu-put me dow-down," I said in a shaky voice, and they complied. I held back a scream of pain when I touched the ground.
"Tha-thanks," I told them when the pain died down a little.
"Mr. Piccolo, is aunt Mindy going to be alright?" Gohan asked Piccolo, and I was a little ticked. Couldn't he see I was within hearing distance?
"She'll be fine. She wont let this stop her. I wouldn't worry about her too much kid," I heard someone's hair rustle. I took a deep breath, preparing to speak.
"You do know I can here you right? I'm still alive down here!" The anger was lost since I just sounded breathless.
"Save up your energy Mindy. I don't want to lose you all because you couldn't stop talking." A small smile grew on my lips. It was such a Piccolo thing to say. I nodded my head feebly, and let the world around me dim a bit.
Before I knew it, another body was roughly thrown right next to me. I opened an eye to see Vegeta laying there, in the exact same condition I was in.
"Heh, looks like you lost too ya cocky ape," my voice was a little back to normal, but still laced in pain.
"He's just too strong," I looked closely at Vegeta, noticing he had tears in his eyes. Vegeta? Tears? That didn't make any since! My body had other opinions, because with out me telling it to, it put a hand on his shoulder.
Surprisingly, Vegeta grasped my hand in his, squeezing it tightly.
"Goku will finish this," I told him with such a reverence, it shocked myself.
"He's our only hope left." I felt a huge power level, and as I looked at the sky, I saw Goku himself float down from the sky. My answering smile was brilliant.
"Goku," I whispered, and he looked at me with such a sadness.
"Mindy," he whispered back, and came to sit at my side. I still had a hold of Vegeta's hand, so Goku took the other.
"Looks like our positions are switched this time, eh twin?" I asked, trying to ease up the tension.
"Yeah, but this time you're not going to die. I will make sure Frieza pays for what he has done to you," I let go of his hand, and gently touched his cheek.
"I know you will twin, you always are the hero. I guess I will have to learn to be second place," my face scrunched up automatically at the thought. Goku laughed a little, and some of the seriousness left his face.
"You're giving up so easily twin? I thought you would be a little bit more stubborn on that." I joined him in his laughter, even though it burned my throat.
"Maybe we should talk about this later. I'm probably going delusional over here. Hey is there two of you?" I joked, and everyone in the group laughed.
"I'm sorry to cut this reunion up, but I'm getting bored over here," Frieza said, and I tried to get up. Goku had other plans, and pushed me back down.
"Save your strength," was all he told me before facing Frieza. I did as I was told, but then Vegeta started rambling to Goku about how Frieza had treated him as a child. I tried to listen to most of it, but my strength was weakening.
I felt sorry for Vegeta though. From what I heard, Frieza had created him into the man that he was today, and you certainly had to be evil to be what Vegeta was. Then the most horrible thing happened.
Frieza shot him with a Ki blast, and then Vegeta still went on talking until he died of exhaustion. I still grasped his hand until Goku took him away from me. I felt a little empty. Now it was only Goku and I who were full blooded Saiyans.
Our prince had become deceased. I cried for Vegeta's death, for the death of everyone that Frieza had killed.
None of them deserved it, even Vegeta.
"Goku, you can take him on, he only has one arm!" I heard Piccolo say, and I had to chuckle.
"Who took his arm off?"
"Mindy," Piccolo sounded very proud, and my heart swelled. He thought I did a good job, even though I'm now close to being in the next dimension.
"Wow! Good job Mindy!" I smiled a big as I could, which only managed to be a sweet little smile.
"Thanks, now go kick some butt!" I said hoarsely, and Piccolo looked at me anxiously.
"We should take Mindy away from the battle field," Piccolo said, and in a lightning fast move, picked me up bridal style, and flew off into the sky. Gohan and Krillin followed close behind.
"Next time you have me in this position, it better be when we're married." I put a hand on my mouth as soon as the words came out. Did I really just say that out loud? I could feel Piccolo's stare burning holes into me, but I couldn't meet his eyes.
I closed my eyes, and pretended that I was sleeping. At first I was pretending, but then it turned to actual sleep. I was out rock solid in two seconds.
I woke up to a number of hands shaking me.
"Mindy! Wake up! Goku defeated Frieza!" Someone said, and my eyes fluttered open. Goku, Gohan, Krillin, and Piccolo were surrounding me in a circle.
"Hmm, what?" I mumbled out sleepily.
"We said that Goku defeated Frieza!" Krillin cried out, seeming annoyed with me.
"What's your problem? If Goku defeated Frieza, then why are you getting all mad at me?" I asked, unable to see a plausible reason.
"You slept through the whole thing! How could you even sleep through that, or were you just faking so we would do all the work?" He spat at me, and I flinched at the venom in his voice.
"I don't know what happened! One minute I'm in some light sleep, the next, you guys are waking me up! I can't grasp at what happened in between!" I said frantically, not wanting to seem like a coward. Krillin seemed to ease up a bit, and nodded my way.
"I guess I could understand. Sorry for yelling at you."
"Apology excepted," I told him with a gentle kindness in my voice. I looked over at Goku triumphantly.
"Way to go Goku! You did it!" We both went for a high five at the same time, and chuckled afterwards.
"Everyone helped also," Goku replied, and I rolled my eyes at him.
"Always so modest, but I'm sure everyone did their part in helping you. Good job guys," I gave a meaningful look at everyone.
"Yay, we get to go home daddy!" Gohan cried, and I smiled over at him.
"Yes we do son, and in my spaceship, we will be there in five days." My eyes found Piccolo's while the rest of them were talking about home. Without having to utter a word, Piccolo picked me up, and we sat privately by a corner.
"So about that wedding you were talking about . . ." Piccolo started, and I blushed furiously.
"That wasn't supposed to come out like that, I mean, uh, I was just uh," I blabbered on, and Piccolo quieted me by putting a finger on my lips. I shut up immediately.
"When we get back on Earth, it is something we could consider . . ." He trailed off, and this time he blushed.
Without thinking, I tried miserably to jump into his arms. As soon as I had raised my arms, the sharp pain overrode my system, and I yelped in agony.
"Mindy, are you alright?" Piccolo asked, and I nodded weakly.
"Yeah, I was trying to give you a hug, but my body isn't quite up to it yet. I was trying to tell you yes, I would love to marry you Piccolo," I looked into his eyes, and my pain was soon forgotten. The love and the adoration was spilling out of Piccolo. As gentle as ever, he gave me the sweetest kiss he could conjure up.
My whole body felt like Jell-O after that kind of kiss. When he pulled away, a dreamy expression was on my face. And then suddenly, Piccolo pointed at my ring finger, and zapped me a beautiful diamond ring.
"Piccolo . . ." I said, but nothing else came out.
"Do you like it?" He asked hesitantly, and silent tears streamed down my face.
"Like it? I love it!" I whispered softly, choking a little on my tears. His answering smile brightened up the whole place, he took me back to the others.
"Hey guys guess what! I'm engaged!" I yelled at them, holding out my hand for them to see. All three of them were wide eyed and their mouths were gaping opened and closed.
"Yo-you're engaged t-to Piccolo?" Krillin gasped out, still in shock.
"Yep!" I replied merrily, loving the happiness I was feeling.
"Take care of my sister Piccolo, I want you to promise you will look after her," Goku said seriously, and him and Piccolo stared at each other for awhile.
"Nothing will ever happen to her if she is with me," Piccolo promised solemnly, and then Goku smiled happily with me.
"Then congratulations twin, you're getting married! Now Gohan can have other kids his age to play with!" Goku laughed innocently, and I blushed once again. Thankfully, Gohan saved me from the awkward situation.
"So Piccolo will soon be my uncle?" He asked me, and I nodded my head.
"Yes, so you can call him uncle Piccolo if you want! Or, uncle green bean!" I laughed at the immense happiness Gohan showed. He ran up to Piccolo, and gave him a hug.
"Hello uncle Piccolo!" The little boy cried, and the look on Piccolo's face was priceless. He stood completely still, and unsure as to what to do with Gohan.
"Ruffle his hair," I whispered too low for anyone but Piccolo to hear. He did as he was told, and the bond between Gohan and Piccolo grew stronger at that moment.
"Oh my gosh, we forgot about Bulma!" Krillin cried, looking frantically around for her.
"Bulma is on this planet? I haven't seen her at all!"
"Yeah, we told her to hide somewhere around here," Gohan informed me.
"Well then, lets go find her," I was about to ask Piccolo to help me out, when Krillin's face became scared again. Gohan looked at whatever Krillin was staring at, and started shaking in fear.
"What is i. . ." I trailed off when I spotted that Frieza had survived from Goku's attack.
"He-he's alive!" Piccolo stuttered, and I started to panic. How were we supposed to beat this guy? With one arm, Frieza pointed a finger at Goku, and whispered, "bang." Before the shot could hit Goku though, Piccolo pushed him out of the way, and got hit with the laser shot himself.
"Piccolo!" I screamed, and I started convulsing in sadness. Then Frieza, picked up Krillin with his mind, and blew him up.
"Krillin!" Goku screamed, and I could see the super Saiyan power rising within him. In a matter of moments, Goku turned to be a full super Saiyan.
"Wow," I said in wonderment. My brother Goku finished what I could not. The first ever super Saiyan had emerged.
"Gohan, help Mindy and Piccolo back to my ship, it shouldn't be too far from here.
"But dad, what if you need my help?"
"I said go now Gohan! I'm your father, listen to me!" Goku commanded Gohan with a fierceness that I had never seen in Goku before. The super Saiyan side must be coming out.
"Yes father," Gohan replied respectively, and put Piccolo's motionless body on his back.
"Um kid, I don't know how you are going to fly with me as a burden also," I said, warily looking at the little boy.
"We can do it if you help me by flying a little," Gohan responded, and I agreed. A little pain could be easily ignorable. Gohan helped me up, and I flinched as my body begged me to lay back down.
When I nodded towards Gohan to go, he slowly flew with me, and the pain eased a little. Still, a turtle could go faster then we could at the moment. I looked around, and saw what a mess the planet was in. Lava was shooting out everywhere, and thunderstorms overtook the sky.
It looked pretty scary to say the least. A lot of minutes later, I spotted Goku's ship.
"There it is Gohan," I said weakly. Gohan sped up a little bit, and landed at the ship's door. Gohan went inside, and put both Piccolo and I on the floor.
"Stay here aunt Mindy, while I find Bulma," I gave him a funny look.
"Where else am I going to go?" Gohan shrugged his shoulders, and left in a bout of speed.
Where was that speed when he was carrying Piccolo and I?
I looked over at Piccolo, and saw that he was still unconscious.
"My poor Piccolo," I whispered, and with all the strength I had, scooted over to him so that I could cuddle with him. He still gave no sign of reaction to this. My finger roamed over his shredded clothes, and then laid it flat down on his open chest.
I sighed in contentment, and was about to fall asleep, when I heard Bulma and Gohan.
"Wow it's pretty scary in there, I think I will just stay by the door," Bulma said, and I pretended to sleep.
"Mindy and Piccolo are inside, come on Bulma." I heard Gohan say. Bulma's light footsteps came in, until she fell, and slid to the center of the room.
"Hmmm, maybe we could get some light in here," she said, and she started pressing a lot of buttons. Bright light shined on my closed eye lids, and I had the urge to blink it away.
"There, much better!" Bulma screamed out in joy.
"Aunt Mindy, are you awake?" Gohan asked quietly, and I opened my eyes to him. He was crouching down on the other side of Piccolo.
"Yeah, I've been awake. I wanted to try and scare Bulma, but I don't think now is a good time." I mock whispered at Gohan, and Bulma seemed to hear what I said.
"Oh so you thought it would be funny to scare me huh? Well Mindy, if you would have tried, I would have hit you with a frying pan!" I laughed hoarsely, and looked over at her. She meant business.
"Don't be so melodramatic over there. You know you love me!" I smiled sweetly over at her, and she seemed to melt into goo.
"Oh you know I do Mindy, but you have no right thinking about scaring me. I've been through enough to last me a life time!" She screamed, and threw her hands up in the air.
"I agree wholeheartedly. Most people never see this kind of action. I'm taking a vacation after this," I smiled dreamily at the image floating in my head. Piccolo and I with a little Namekian child.
The image was branded into my skull now. Bulma interrupted my day dream by coughing.
"Uh Mindy, why are you cuddled up by Piccolo?" She asked, and I was about to answer, until I felt Goku's power level disappear.
"Oh no, my dad is dead!" Gohan cried, and looked outside into the stormy mess.
No, Goku!
My mind screamed at me, and I choked back a sob. How could Frieza defeat my brother like that?
"I'm going to defeat Frieza once and for all," Gohan said, and I looked at him incredulously.
"Gohan, are you nuts? You can't beat Frieza! You're signing your death wish going out there!" I screamed at the little boy, but he didn't seem affected by my words.
"Mindy is right kid, what do you think you're doing? We need to leave now before this planet explodes!" Bulma started pushing some more buttons, and I felt the ship start up. Gohan went to Bulma to stop her.
"No Bulma, I need to do this. If Frieza survives the blast, then he will hunt me down. I have to do this. Besides, if he fought my dad, I'm sure he is pretty banged up. Hey, I might even have a chance to beat him." A gleam crossed into Gohan's eyes, and unfortunately, I would have to squish it.
"Gohan, Frieza could still kill you. You're not at full strength, and I bet Frieza still has some on reserve. As your teacher, and aunt, I forbid you from going out there," even in my weak state, my voice sounded confident and reprimanding. He flinched a little, but I could see he had made up his mind.
"I'm sorry aunt Mindy, but I can't do that. You would do the same if you were in my position," and with that, Gohan flew out of the ship to fight Frieza.
"Ugh, that stupid kid! Who does he think he is disobeying an order? When he gets back, I'm going to ring his neck!" I fisted the ground with all of my strength, and I sighed in exhaustion. That kid was going to be the death of me.
"Mindy, I think he will be fine. Even you said it yourself," I looked at Bulma curiously, raising an eyebrow.
"You just said 'when he comes back,' some small part of you believes he can do it," I looked down at the ground, hating to admit she was right.
"Fine you're right Bulma, but now we have to wait till he gets back. This planet has only two minutes left before it explodes," to prove my point, the ground beneath the ship started to shake.
"We're goners! Even if Gohan defeats Frieza, we still get burned to a fiery crisp!" Bulma slammed her hands down on the controls, and started whispering, "I'm too young and pretty to die!"
"I know it looks bad, but have some hope Bulma, we just might make it out alive," I held on tighter to Piccolo, begging him silently to hold on a little longer.
"Mindy, what is up with you and Piccolo? How can you even be near that green monster?" I growled loudly at her, filling with a rage that made the pain recede.
"Piccolo is not a monster! He is a kind, and gentle man, and he is my FIANCÉ!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, breathing heavily when I was through. Bulma's face paled when I told her this.
"Your-you're m-marring that th-thing?" She stuttered out. I couldn't tell if it was from shock or fear.
"Yes I am marrying Piccolo, is there a problem with that?" I asked acidly.
"Very much so! You can't marry him! He tried to kill Goku, and tried to take over the world!" Her fear or shock went away, and was replaced with her fierce attitude.
"That was before he met Gohan and I! Now he's on our side!" I screamed back at her, knowing my stubbornness could match hers.
"Yeah, and for how long? He could be pretending, and then stab you in the back later!" I narrowed my eyes dangerously at her.
"He is not pretending. He is my mate, and I know if the love is real or not," I said back to her, making my voice turn into a deadly whisper. She seemed to lose the attitude, and her face softened.
"Alright Mindy. I know I sometimes forget you and Goku are not from this planet. You work differently than us humans. If he is your mate, and I'm assuming that is an important thing, then I will accept with who you have chosen. I just thought you might end up with a human husband, like what Goku did with Chichi." I nodded in her direction, and thought about what she had said.
Being with a human would be weird, especially if he was anything like Chichi. Piccolo was right for me, and nothing was going to change that. I looked back outside, and the sky had become impossibly darker.
"Come on Gohan," I whispered, before Bulma disappeared on me.
"Bulma?" I asked frantically, and then I felt like I was being transported someplace else. I landed with an "umph," and looked at where I was. It looked like Earth.
"What am I doing back on Earth?" I asked out loud, but no one seemed to answer. I looked around the place, and saw that all of the dead Namekians were surrounding the area.
"Hi Aunt Mindy!" Gohan yelled up from a tree. I didn't acknowledge him though. I was still upset for him disobeying me. Then, Dende came over to where Piccolo and I were at.
"Heal Piccolo first, and then can I please have some help?" The kid nodded his head, and started working on Piccolo. Instantly Piccolo was back to full health.
"I'm still alive," he whispered to himself, then Dende came over to me and did the same thing. Soon I was in tip top condition.
"Man, now I should be even stronger than last time. I bet I can go full super Saiyan now!" I smiled happily, and flexed my muscles. Ah, what a great feeling to move again!
"Mindy, are you over there?" Bulma called over to me, and I answered back.
"Yeah, come here!" She came over, and Gohan went to stand beside her. I looked over at him angrily.
"What did I tell you!" I screamed in his face, and he backed away in fear. I still stalked him, using my most menacing voice.
"I told you to stay put! And what do you do? You go off to fight Frieza by yourself! What if you got killed? How would I explain that to your mother? And did you think of the heartache it would give me?" I kept yelling at him, until Piccolo grabbed me by the shoulder.
"I think the kid's had enough of knowing how much you care," he said wittily, and I turned my anger on him.
"Oh so you think it's funny that he disobeyed an order from his master?" He stared at me with those dark brown orbs, and I couldn't help but lighten up a little.
"He shouldn't have done it, but it was the brave thing to do," Piccolo then looked down at Gohan.
"Good job kid, but next time don't make your aunt so anxious." Gohan smiled up at him warmly.
"Thanks Mr. Piccolo!" I smiled at the two of them. Piccolo could be so great with kids. Gohan looked around at the group of Namekians, and his eyes lighted up as if he saw someone.
"Guru is still alive!" He ran over to this huge Namekian, and started talking to him.
"Who's Guru?" I asked Piccolo.
"The leader of the Nameks. Though I don't know for how much longer," the Nail side of him must have come out just then, because he became extremely sad.
"It's ok Nail, Guru will still live on in your heart," I said, and gave Piccolo a big hug. He responded immediately, and held me tight. Then, I noticed a Ki, and was surprised to see who it was. Vegeta had been transported here as well.
Do you guys like it? Haha it was sooooo long! Review please!
