And another!

Kalia felt the blast of energy, her anger renewed, and she grabbed Krillin under the legs and back, managing to get into the sky before the blast hit where they had been, Kalia finding it much easier than before. She wasn't entirely sure as to what had just happened, but she knew she had lost herself in grief, even for that small amount of time.

She held tight to Krillin as the blast hit, trying to protect him as much as she could. If only she could give him her strength...

She saw Kayha coming up towards her, preparing another ball of energy to throw at her, and managed to side step out of the way, and with Krillin still in her arms, kicked Kayha in the square of her back, sending her down to the ground, crashing into the place where Krillin had lay not long before.

"You are cruel and heartless..." She murmured, pulling Krillin close, still feeling his chest slowly go in and out. The rest of him was lifeless, and looking at him brought back the tears in her eyes.

"I wont let you down" A stray tear fell onto Krillin's cheek, and it looked like he winced, trying to open his eyes. In spite of herself, Kalia leaned down and kissed his cheek, before floating down to where Goku and Gohan were. Goku was barely holding on, taking in deep breaths. Not far off, she could hear what she thought to be a hover car landing, hoping it was someone coming to help them. Maybe Bulma had finally decided to show up...

Carefully, she placed Krillin on the ground, glad to still see his chest still moving slowly up and down.

"Kali?" Gohan looked quizzically at her, but Kalia just smiled, ruffling the boys hair, before putting a hand on Goku's shoulder. She stared into the eyes of the man she had grown up with, managing to smile slightly.

"Do not worry brother, I will take care of this" She then stood, turning to where Kayha was just pulling herself out of the rubble.

"Kai"

She turned to look back at him, then smiled in spite of herself.

"Don't-" He reached out for her, but she knew what he was going to say, and her face turned hard, her eyes furrowed. She nodded at him, and he groaned, almost falling, with Gohan catching him. She felt a horrible pang in her heart, but knew he would be okay. He was Goku, after all.

"Damn you!" She turned back to her opponent, and Kalia felt her ki start to rise.

Not again...

As Kalia began to move forward, she started to feel her own power growing inside her, sparks of electricity flying about her as she remembered her friends.

Goku...

"I..."

Krillin...

"..will not.."

Gohan...

"...let you..."

Piccolo...

"... hurt anyone else!"

With those last words, she started to scream into the sky.

"Whoa!" Yajirobe tipped face first, windmilling his arms as the earth shook violently. Slowly he righted himself, looking left and right.

"I shouldn't be here!" He grumbled, his hand on his belt as he dove through the rubble, finally coming onto the sight of the battle. Slowly, he took in the scene.

Vegeta was in the air, which was good for him, the further away he was the better. Piccolo wasnt too far off either, another good thing. He never liked the green dude anyway...

About ten feet away he saw a sight that absolutely shocked him. Goku was down for the count, Gohan beside him. Krillin was on his back beside them, but he had guessed Krillin wouldn't last long either.

In the middle of the whole thing, he saw the female warrior Kame had trained, walking towards what he could have sworn to be a clone. He quickly shook his head, turning back to his mission, the whole reason he came here. Then he could go home and be safe-

"Uh, hey! Goku, Gohan!" He decided to wave, seeing them both look over, Gohan's face lighting up.

"Heey, Yajirobe!" He waved back, looking like a joyful kid. He started to head over to them, jumping around rubble and almost face planting again, before reaching the three. He looked down at Krillin, then over at Goku, almost jumping out of his skin when he saw the wound Goku had.

"Oh no, Goku!" He waved his arms frantically, before reaching for the pouch he carried, bringing out a Sensu bean.

"About time you got here" Came the grunt from beside him, and he froze, his face slowly turning to look up at Piccolo, looking more bruised and beaten than Yajirobe thought he was.

He was afraid that if he moved, Piccolo would hit him, or something of the sort.

"Yajirobe" Came Gohan's voice, and he turned to see Gohan holding out his hand for the bean.

"Oh, sorry" He gave the bean to Gohan, fishing out another for Piccolo, who took it hastily. He was about to give Krillin one when the whole earth shook, making him cringe and drop the bean on the ground. All of them turned to see Kalia screaming into the air, and then he saw her hair start to turn red...

"Not again!" Goku suddenly yelled, and Yajirobe could see he was feeling better. He was up on his feet, staring at the scene before them.

"Wh-wh-what is going on?!" He chattered, watching as Goku's face hardened.

"She's transforming!" Piccolo snapped.

"She's what?!" Yajirobe yelped, falling backwards and landing on his behind.

"Dad! What can we do?"

"I- think this time I left!" Yajirobe cried,his teeth chattering as he managedo scrabble back on the rubble, before getting up and turning around, working his short legs for all they were worth and escaping the battle ground.

"Transforming people? No way I am outta here!"

Vegeta watched the fat swordman run off, huffing in annoyance.

What a coward! Why is he even allowed to live?!

He was taken away from his thoughts as once again the female warrior's power level increased, and her hair began to turn red.

Damn this woman! She makes transforming look so... so... DAMMIT!

Vegeta clenched his fists, watching in both anger and a little amazement as she completed her transformation, seeing Kakarot yelling at her to stop. Was he stupid? It was like telling him not to become a super sayian!

He saw her eyes open, the souless ones he had seen before, now replaced with some remnant of humanity.

She can't seem to control her new form... he realised, watching transfixed as she began to walk again towards the other one.

"How can you... Hiro-" She was cut off as Kalia was suddenly in front of her, punching her square in the gut, then kicking her in the neck, sending her crashing through the rubble.

"Kai!" Kakarot cried out, and he looked down to see that he was now on his feet, the sensu bean returning his strength. Not far from him, he could see Gohan trying to give a bean to the still unconscious Krillin.

She turned to the other Sayian "I will not let her hurt anyone else"

Kakarot seemed almost shocked, and the woman turned back to the other warrior called Kayha sprung from the rubble, obviously furious, flying straight at her. Kalia side stepped, and as Kayha passed, she punched the younger woman again, sending her crashing off in another direction.

She could rival a Sayian woman with that power! Vegeta's almost laughed, but something moving below him caught his attention. He looked down and found himself looking at the large Elite, who he now saw was slowly recovering, starting to stand on his own two feet. He had taken a beating, but was still managing to stand.

Vegeta smiled, realising he would finally get a chance to defeat another opponent, lifting his arms high.

All Krillin could remember is loosing consciousness, then something pressed against his cheek as he fought to open his eyes again. Then something was pushed into his mouth, and he managed to move his mouth enough to eat and swallow it.

Hmmm...hard candy...

He suddenly felt his strength returning, and his eyes snapped open to see a worried Gohan above him. The moment Gohan saw Krillin open his eyes, a big grin crossed his face, and he turned to whoever was beside him.

"Dad!" Goku was suddenly there, pulling the smaller man to his feet.

"What...happened?" He scratched his head, looking around him, before sensing something that made him snap his head around, his eyes wide.

What incredible power... He looked over to the red haired figure, standing in the rubble as Kayha screamed, flying straight at her. When Kayha reached her, the red haired woman simply knocked her away, sending her tumbling away again.

"Who is-" Realization hit him then, his jaw dropping as he stared at the woman he had known for over half his life.

"Kalia?" The words slipped from his mouth before he realised, and he saw Goku nod.

"She's not in control of her powers" Piccolo added, making him realise they were all together.

Man, I missed alot when I was out, he sulked, scratching his head again, looking over and seeing Vegeta was now sending balls of energy at a certain spot on the ground, looking almost gleeful.

"Wait! How did- did Kalia become a Super Saiyan or something?!"

"No" Krillin could almost feel Piccolo rolling his eyes at him.

"Whatever she's transformed into, she can't control it, and..." Goku balled his hands into fists "She could end up destroying all of us"

Krillin gulped, sweat trickling down his forehead.

He looked at the transformed Kalia, feeling that same emotion he'd had just before he was choking, feeling a blush rise to his cheeks.

Of all the girls I had to fall for at a time like this, it had to be her...

"So what-"

He was cut off as he suddenly saw Kayha coming at him, sword now in hand.
