I don't own dbz!
Lily: Now that that's said go get cleaned up. You smell like dirty diapers.
That's because you fail at diaper changing and making me back to my normal age.
Lily: Go or you will get a spanking!
…That won't work now. I'm back to normal.
Lily: Awww. It was fun watching you grow up.
You liked me annoying you to no end?
Lily: Good point.
With Zoe
Zoe lowers her two fingers from her forehead and looks around in confusion mixed with nervousness, 'What am I doing back in here?'
"How is the search coming along?" Zoe jumps and runs into a different room and tries to close the door quietly.
"It's coming. I wish it would go faster or else. What was that?"
The door next to Zoe opens up and Frieza and Zarbon walk in just in time to see Zoe smiling and waving them farewell as she once more tries her luck with instant transmission.
Back On Namek
Katana stretches out and gets out of bed. She turns around and makes the bed. "Nothing like a good rest to make you wake up healthy!" She walks into the kitchen and makes herself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. 'It's quiet in here. That must mean we landed!' She finishes the sandwich, cleans what little mess she made, and rushes outside. She blinks rapidly when the sun beams shine down on her. She looks down and gasps, "Why is the ground blue?"
"You finally woke up! We were starting to wonder if you fell into hibernation," Bulma jokes.
"Really? Sorry. Umm..Did I miss much?"
Bulma shrugs her shoulders. "Well we landed on a fake Namek but other than that not much."
"Oh dear. Where is Krillen and Gohon at?"
"They went searching for the dragon balls. They are very anxious ever since they saw Vegeta's space pod."
"What?! Vegeta's here too?" Katana starts to pace back and forth mumbling 'this is bad' several times. She turns and grabs Bulma's shoulders. "I'm gonna go. If I'm not back in a half hour I have either found him or I got lost." Katana chews on her lower lip as she flies off.
Bulma sweat drops, "Okay, I guess. Good luck. Wait. Oh just great! Now I don't have anyone to talk to again!" Bulma 'hmphs' and sits down once more.
Katana, of course, keeps low to the ground as looks around. 'Green sky and water, blue grass and trees. This is such an upside down place! I have to remember that we are no longer on Earth. What's that? Oh no, it can't be!' Katana straightens herself up and starts sliding her feet on the ground. She puts her hands down to help slow herself. There, an uncomfortable close distance is Frieza's ship. 'This is, this is worse than bad! I-I have to go back and figure out what to do about this!' Making sure that no one is close by she once more take off. Accidentally using too much energy the sky rockets in the air. Katana snaps her eyes shut as she starts flying blindly in an unknown direction. She starts lowering herself and opens her eyes when she feels mist hitting her. "Eep!" She stops herself from hitting a waterfall. Putting a hand over her beating heart, she looks around. "I believe I'm lost!" Katana whines. She reaches up and turns on her scouter then she continues to fly about. It takes over two hours until her scouter indicates some low leveled beings. She stops and sees people who look like Piccollo. 'I hope this works.' She approaches them cautiously. One of them gives her a wary glance as the others stop what they are doing and stare at her. She says, "I got lost and I am wondering if anyone here has seen a small boy with short, black hair and a bald monk with orange clothes."
"Why do you wish to know?"
"Ah, well. I need to warn them about something. Please. It's very important."
"…That way," an elder Namekian points.
"Thank you!" Katana takes off once more.
"Do you think that was wise to do?" another one asks.
"She does not seem nor appear evil."
Katana scans the area once more. Her scouter reacts to something before blowing up. 'Okay. Now I know where Frieza is. One thing is certain: I might die before this is over.' As she gets closer to Bulma, she sees none other than Vegeta! "What's he doing here?" She gets closer to make sure before doing her ground sliding once more. Sadly, she did not see the other person until she knocks it over. "Sorry!" She turns around to help the person up but freezes. "Z-Z-Zarb-bon?!" She staggers back in shock. Zarbon gets up and glares at her. Katana bows down. "Z-Zarbon sir. I-I didn't know that…I'm terribly sorry for-"
"Get up and stop your sniveling!" Vegeta snaps. Katana jumps and ki blasts him out of fear. Vegeta gets knocked back a few inches before successfully knocking the ball aside. "Get out of the way girl unless you wish to die as well."
"I don't. I just, wait." She looks at the two. "You. You're not planning of fighting are you?"
"About time you figured it out," Zarbon mumbles.
"But Vegeta, you can't! You mustn't! You will get horribly punished for it! Not to mention master Frieza will be very angry."
"Does it look like I care?"
"No but."
"He has decided to disobey Lord Frieza and set out on his own." Zarbon says.
'What?'
Mini Flashback
"Vegeta will soon break free from Master Frieza's grip and fight back. The question will be then where would we be in the crossfire?"
"Not in it?"
"Killing everyone who stands in Spike's way then kill him too?"
Zoe smacks herself in the head.
"Hey Katana. Over here!" Krillen waves at her. Katana runs around Vegeta and joins her friends.
"Sorry. I got lost."
"Now that she is out of the way, why don't we finish this fight of ours once and for all?" Zarbon smirks.
"That's the only thing we will ever agree on."
Katana and the others watch the battle intently. Well, Bulma couldn't see most of the fight but has a feeling what was happening. They stop fighting for a moment and Vegeta is clearly the victor. Zarbon decides to take it up a notch and show his true form. Bulma and Katana recoil in disgust. The two once more fight. Less than twenty minutes later, Zarbon is on the ground, pleading for his life and offers his assistance. Vegeta only smirks and forms a ki ball.
Katana gasps, "No, not again!" Katana runs out of the cave before the others could even register the fact that she left. She sees Vegeta fire the ki ball that would finish Zarbon off. 'I'm not going to make it." She fires her own ki ball at the other one. They hit, making both of the balls fly off course and out of any two legged beings harms way.
"What the hell are you doing?" Vegeta shouts.
"Likewise! I am not going to allow you to kill him. Can't you hear him asking to be spared and is offering to help us?"
"Baka! He's lying!"
"No, I'm not!" Zarbon whines.
"What makes you believe that he is lying?" Katana reaches Zarbon and stands protectively in front of him. "He can help us. Or at least let him live."
"I agree."
Vegeta snarls, "Katana, get out of the way!"
"Make me!"
"…"
"Oh no! I mean-"
Vegeta appears in front of her and punches her in the stomach. The force sends her and Zarbon on the ground. Vegeta smirks at the impact but is now glaring at the two. Katana groans and lifts her head, 'If he had hit me in the face, I would have died of a broken neck. Thank goodness he didn't.'
"Get off me." Katana grunts in response before realizing how close they are. Her face heats up big time as she apologizes. She hastily gets up and helps him up as well. She turns and glares at Vegeta, "That hurt."
"Well I did tell you to move." Vegeta drawls. "Are you that mad at me to have your face that red?"
Katana face heats up more, this time out of said anger, "You know what? Zoe was right! You are a selfish, spoiled sayjin prince! That needs a hard spanking! Oh wait, Laura said that last bit."
Zarbon couldn't help but chuckle at that and Vegeta's annoyed look.
"Speaking of which, where are your so called friends? Did they decide to abandon you or did that moron finally decide to evolve and avoid me as much as possible like Zoe did back on the ship?"
"They don't even know you're here…a blonde moment for you."
"What?"
"Never mind." Katana sighs.
Zarbon decide to take action once more. He grabs Katana's arm and twists it behind her back. With his other arm, he gets her in a choke hold position.
"You were saying?" Vegeta sneers.
"Erg. Shut….Up." Katana tries breath as she pulls at his arm with her free hand. 'Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.'
"I think I'll take your student with me back to Lord Frieza. He will be happy to see her still alive and loyal."
"I wouldn't care except you're dead."
Zarbon loosens his grip. "What are you talking about?"
Katana forms a ki ball with her injured hand and blasts him off her. She staggers back a bit before kneeling on the ground, gasping for air. She doesn't look behind her as Vegeta walks past her. She does, however hear Zarbon's final cry. She shudders as she rubs her sore and bruising wrist. She hears footsteps approaching and sees Vegeta stop next to her.
"Now, what have we learned?"
"Never trust those close to him?"
"Good girl."
Katana gets up and avoids looking at him. "Thank you."
"Humph. Next time, don't expect me to have as much patience next time or else you won't be so thankful." Vegeta walks back to the group. Katana follows him and sighs, 'Well he hasn't changed any.'
"Katana are you alright? What were you thinking?" Bulma yells, shaking Katana's shoulders.
Katana glares at Vegeta, "Nappa's death."
"Oh get over it! By now, Frieza is pissed off and will send more of his worthless minions after us. We need to hurry and find the dragon balls before he finds them again."
"What if he sends the Ginyu Force?" Katana asks.
Vegeta give her an icy glare, "Don't even think that. Now stop talking and lets go."
Katana backs away from him. 'Scary!' "Sorry but I'll stay here and protect Bulma. I don't like to fight much remember?"
"Fine. Stay here and be useless." Vegeta turns and blasts off. Gohon and Krillen apologizes for him, thanks Katana, and wave good bye before following him.
"Prick," Katana bluntly snaps.
"You are staying this time?" Bulma asks.
"For the time being, yes." Katana turns and smiles at her.
See? I haven't forgotten about Zoe. She will pop up again in a few chapters.
I don't know what else to put other than I was supposed to have gone to bed over an hour ago. Whoops!
Some where next chapter Laura arrives! And no, she won't go all crazy and destroy this planet.
