The area she stood within was level, it was close to the water's edge. Around her were a few pillars of rock, some vibrant green grass under her feet. Warm rays of light pierced through the sky and down onto her. Her deep raven colored hair normally hung down over her shoulders, but for the moment it was tied back into a tightened ponytail. Her face was slowly becoming more defined. Whether it was her body maturing or the serious shit she had been though, she really didn't know. The crème colored chest plate that was once vibrant and bright, now was yellowed and dulled. Calina's height had matured since Zero had died, something she was just realizing as she stood next to the other aliens in Freiza's troop. One glanced down to her.
Calina caught his glance and shot him a scowl in return. " What the fuck are you looking at.." Calina snarled. Her tone wasn't light, and for some reason she could really feel some kind of rage pulse through her. The alien now became visibly uncomfortable and quickly shot his glance back to Lord Freiza. Freiza was ready to talk, everyone abruptly quieted down.
" My little insignificant maggots.. I want to say that I'm disappointed, but I really don't think that will get the point across..so.." Freiza's power level shot up a few thousand points, and within a few moments at least half of the troop was vaporized. His hand extended, index finger pointed. It was quick, clean and to the point. Calina was impressed with herself. Just recently she has gained the ability to track power levels with just her mind. On this planet however, there was no point. The Namekian's were worthless. Green blobs of chlorophyll. What Calina was really focused on was that boy from earlier. . Freiza continued to rant, Calina stood up straight. Neck erect, vigilant eyes focused in front of her. Freiza wouldn't dare kill her, not right now. He needed her to find the last dragon ball. He continued to scream and dance, Calina tuned out his voice.
'That other Saiyan.. smelled so good.' Calina then found herself fantasizing about meeting him again. About finding him and getting close to him, taking in his features. Getting to take in his scent once again. This didn't have to be a desire. She could go find him.. Now.
Calina's nose began to twitch. Her fantasy had ended. The vaporization of the aliens from earlier had left a stench that finally made it's way over to her. It was revolting. The Ginyu Force was lined up behind Freiza, like pawns in a chess game. Ready to be thrown to the lions at any moment. Each stood with their hands on their hips.
" NOW GO! " Freiza's voice rumbled across the remaining aliens. Calina listened. The air began to pick up, and at once her boots began to lift off the ground below her. Calina's arms relaxed from their crossed position under her chest and to her side. Without any more notice, she took off into the sky.
Namek's temperature was ideal. The rich vastness of water and grass covered land made her question why exactly she was going to have to destroy it. Calina's stern face was only lightened by her bright blue eyes. It took about twenty minutes before she locked onto anything. Immediately she turned and went in the direction of the Chi level.
It took her another twenty to find the exact location that the Chi levels were coming from. Upon landing she got an ugly greeting. It appeared that a few of the Ginyu bloodsuckers had found their way to the Saiyan before her.
She landed briskly, and immediately upon landing began to walk in the direction of the four ginyu's that were in the area. Calina was stopped dead in her tracks. She hadn't felt his chi before, because there was almost nothing left of it.
" Prince.. Vegeta.." Calina's breathing immediately slowed. Her brilliant blue eyes widening in disbelief.
Guldo, Jeice and Burter were standing over fifty yards from Recoome, and even Recoome was over twenty yards from where she stood. The Saiyan boy from earlier had kept his distance from the four Ginyu members. The bald creature, the man from earlier, was a human. It had taken a little thought, but Calina put the features that the man had and his awful smell together. Right now she didn't have time for details.
Prince Vegeta wasn't more than a few yards from her, quickly she rushed to his side. Kneeling down next to him, she swiftly placed her index and middle finger together and felt against his neck. Here a few black locks of her hair had escaped her ponytail from earlier, and were in her face.
His skin was unusually cold, it's wet film made her suspicions grow. He had just fought someone and gotten terribly hurt. Was it the Ginyu's or.. Calina's eyes flashed over to the human and the Saiyan she had been previously thinking about.
" Gohan, uh, she keeps looking over here.. What do we do? " The bald human spoke. His sound of his voice was uneasy, and high. He was clearly a coward. Calina's eyes moved from the bald man to the Saiyan. Could it have been him? She hoped not.
The boy looked at her, wide eyed. His eyes not fearful, but more alert. He didn't look injured. There was no one stronger than Prince Vegeta, besides Freiza himself. Calina's head turned slightly to Recoome and the remaining Ginyu's.
Recoome's clothing was almost completely gone, his armor had either been taken off of vaporized. The black spandex under his armor was shredded and in some areas his fleshy skin was visible. If his appearance wasn't enough to justify her accusations, what he said next sealed the deal.
" Oh ..Hey… Sorry about that, I think he's still alive.. Your king monkey was a real disappointment. He barely wanted to play at all..HAHAAH!" Recoome spoke barely containing his laughter until the end of his speech. His voice was low, almost booming. He was easily as tall as Captain Ginyu, and Recoome was the physically strongest in the group and mentally the weakest. Calina didn't know what she was going to do.
" Get.. your cold hands OFF ME.." Vegeta spoke in a moan, he grabbed her hand that was on his neck and shoved it off of him. Following this he then went unconscious again.
" Your next..Smelly monkey.." Recoome made a toothy grin and extended his arm in the direction of the male Saiyan, his bald friend appeared to be shaking.
Calina was still kneeling over Prince Vegeta. With a hard swallow she had to make a hard choice. Recoome bellowed a loud laugh before jetting forward toward the Saiyan boy.
Calina took a deep breath, her body appeared to flicker. Within a few seconds her body disappeared into thin air, and reappeared directly infront of the male Saiyan. Pulling up both hand she clamed down on an oncoming fist from Recoome. Recoome looked shocked. Then again, he wasn't all that bright to begin with. His left arm was limp at his side, his right arm thrusted forward.
" Hah, well look at this here.. " Recoome spoke allowed. Calina had made her decision. Zero was everything to her, but she had to take this chance. Maybe there were others like her, he would want her to be happy.
Jeice was laughing loud enough for Calina to notice. "Freiza is going to rip you apart when you get back to the ship.." His laughing slowed as Recoome spoke again. " That's if she makes it to the ship." His conceded tone was appropriate. Calina had drastically over stepped her boundaries. Not only had she just interfered with the mission for retrieving the dragon balls, but she had interfered with an officer's battle. She couldn't return to Freiza, and after this she would be hunted. Calina was in a dilemma.
Recoome was incredibly strong. Calina wrapped both of her hands around his one fist. Not allowing him to make another move. Recoome smiled, he clearly was toying with her. He pushed his body a little further forward, and Calina could feel the soil give out underneath her boots. With one forceful step, Recoome easily made the ground give out underneath Calina. A small crater began to form.
There was no more talking between the two. Calina knew how much trouble she was in. Either she was going to live or die, there was no medium in this situation.
Recoome now brought up his left arm, and Calina could feel her arms beginning to shake. She wasn't fatigued, but his strength was unbelievable. She had to pull through. This asshole had to have a weakness.
The Saiyan boy behind her was quiet, and for a moment she had forgot about him. Calina could feel his chi begin to rise and without notice, Calina felt his skin brush her own. She let up her guard for just a moment, glancing to her side she saw him.
Calina's heart began to race, she couldn't understand why this boy was making her body and heart race. It was, abnormal. The boy shared her burden, and took a fist to deal with, Recoome laughed allowed.
" Look who has a little boyfriend, aw.. Calina.. I'm going to enjoy ripping his body in half that much more.." Recoome grinned, his chi began to rise as he put more pressure on her and the Saiyan boy next to her.
" Why… are you helping us.." The boy spoke while barely gripping Recoome's fist. Calina met her eyes with his. His voice was concerned, and very calm. She was helping them because she didn't want to work under Freiza any longer. Because she thought her entire species had almost been wiped out. Because since the moment she saw him, she knew she needed to meet him again. Because every time she thought about him she developed a strange need to be near him. Because his scent was something she hadn't ever smelled before. Because she didn't want to be alone. Just, because.
Calina only gave an open mouth, and a speechless face as a reply. They could trade stories later, Calina could tell that the Saiyan next to her wasn't taking in the gravity of the situation.
Recoome was done playing. With a goofy grin, he began to form two large chi balls within his fists. Calina could feel her skin begin and warm, and then start to burn, as the fist she once held was now full of chi. She had no choice, she let go and not even a moment later, so did the boy. They both leapt backwards, Recoome's massive weight was against him, with the lack of support and the fact that he was bent over, Recoome took a hard fall forwards. The other Ginyu's began to laugh. There crackles bouncing off the towering rocks behind Calina.
" Gohan.. Maybe we should try to just get out of here, I mean Vegeta couldn't take them. Were as good as gonners." The bald human spoke in a shrill tone. Gohan? This was the Saiyans name? It was, a little strange, Calina was satisfied to at least know the Saiyans name.
" Prince Vegeta is alive, and when he gets better he'll be stronger than ever.. Unlike you." Calina spoke with a growl. This bald man wasn't the least bit helpful, and Calina was beginning to wonder why the male Saiyan even kept him around.
Recoome had gained his composure, and without much warning, appeared dead center between Calina and Gohan. Throwing out both fists he connected with both young Saiyans. Sending Calina and Gohan flying. Krillin stepped up. Placing both hands into a cup shape, he pulled both arms down to his right side.
Calina rolled a few time, but eventually skidded to her feet. Just in time to see the bald man form a massive chi ball, that was condensed into a small bright, star.
" Ka-me-ha-me-HA! " The bald human screamed as he pulled his arms forward and released his palms cup shape. Shooting the blast directly at Recoome. A blinding light shot through the area. The shot was dead on.
The light quickly faded, and Recoome stood in the same spot he was before. His clothing burned up even more he however, looked fine.
" Well that tickled. Bah!" Recoome laughed, and jetted forward, landing a hard hit to the bald man's stomach. Recoome's knee still in mid air as the bald man lifted off the ground. Shooting into the sky. " Recoome…." Recoome spoke him name, and his body flickered once more.. "BOOM! " Recoome bellowed loudly as he slammed his elbow down onto the bald man's back. The human shot into the ground like a bullet.
" Krillin! " Gohan screamed as he also rushed at Recoome. Calina reached out her arm to issue a warning, but it was too late. Recoome wasn't a member of the Ginyu force for nothing. He was unbelievably strong, and by far was the one out of who could take the most damage. Gohan was quickly put down by the same move.
Recoome turned to Calina. " Your turn…" Calina crouched her posture. He shouldn't underestimate her. Although young, Calina was on her way to becoming as strong as Prince Vegeta. She was smaller than Recoome, but that gave her an advantage.
Recoome charged at her, full force and took a hard swing. Calina pulled herself to the ground. Flat on her back she pulled her feet to her chest and sent a violent kick into Recoome's abdomen. Recoome's body froze for a moment. His mouth gaped open. Calina, still flat on her back, pulled up her left arm, bracing her left arm with her right arm. She fired six Chi balls, all at Recoome's knees. The dim giant, groaned.
Now was her chance, Calina pulled her legs to her chest leapt to her feet. Placing both arms up, she had both of her palms flat, and made a 'diamond' shape with both of her index fingers and thumbs. Looking through the opening in her hands, she attacked. Quickly, a dark lavender chi began to form in the opening of her palms. Calina's Chi shot up, her raven hair lifting from her shoulders, what remained of her ponytail now snapped open.
Last minute Recoome regained his balance and shot down directly infront of Calina. Calina didn't have the time to fully recalculate, so she improvised. Recoome was now directly infront of her, and as he lifted a massive arm to swing down onto her, she released her attack.
" Kamen Cutter !" Calina yelled as she shot a deep purple Beam directly at Recoome. The beam was small, concentrated and Recoome vastly underestimated it's power. Within seconds the beam shot across his left forearm. It didn't scratch his skin, it didn't just leave a gash. It took off his whole forearm. Recoome screamed as his arm fell to the bright green grass below them. Blood and viscous fluid gushed from his body and began to soak the entire left hand side of his torso. Calina's breathing became labored, that last move had drained her energy quite a bit.
Recoome began to scream through clenched teeth, pulling up his right hand he placed it on the gaping wound. Focusing his chi, he cauterized the injury.
Gohan and the human were to their feet again, just in time for Recoome to recover. Blisteringly angry and abnormally huge, he went on a rampage.
Shooting forward Calina watched as Gohan was slammed with a massive elbow to the back of his head. Thrusting him forward onto the ground with a boom. The human was snatched up, and thrown into a towering pillar of rock. The massive impact caused the rock to collapse onto him. Calina watched as Recoome now went back after Gohan. Calina couldn't take it.
Gohan's once deep, auburn eyes were glazed over. A vacant look took over them. He was barely conscious.
Calina shot forward, Recoome arrived at the same time. Calina's body stood between him and Gohan. Recoome managed to push a toothy grin. Even with one arm, Recoome was incredibly powerful. His speed caught Calina off guard, and he nailed her in back of the head with an elbow. Calina collapsed. Her limbs becoming numb for a few moments. Her body was ontop of Gohan's.
Gohan's body was turned over on his side. Calina was on all fours. Her palms placed on each side of his body. Calina felt Recoome slam his remaining fist onto her back. Again, and again and again. Finally Calina could feel her back beginning to crack.
Gohan had finally fully regained conciousness. Looking up at Calina, he was speechless. " I'm not going to let him.. hurt.. Youuuu."Calina spoke in a tone just a little above a whisper. Another slam made her arms collapse. Her face just inches from his. She could feel her eyes lock onto his own. A rush of rage flooded over her, she could feel her body begin to expand. Blood boiling. She was going to fix this.
