Frieza's frame hovered over the four of them. Calina shifted her eyes for a moment. Krillin was shaking. His limbs were uncontrollably shaking and Gohan was silent. His breathing had slowed. Calina could also feel his fear. Dende slowly shifted backwards until he made it to where the three of them were standing. He then proceeded to hide behind Calina.
" Where's Goku?..." Krillin spoke in a low tone. His voice slightly trembling. Calina's tail had unraveled from her waist and relaxed at her side. She was going to step up and settle this, even if it killed her.
Calina paused and focused her energy. She wasn't quite accustomed to Goku's power, but Prince Vegeta's she knew too well. Focusing she detected his location.. On the otherside of the planet. Even if they were on their way, it still would take them well over fifteen, even twenty minutes to get here. That was if they had even left already.
" Gohan.. I need you to power up.." Calina spoke in a calm tone. Gohan glanced over to her for a moment before Calina explained herself. " Your father can sense energy levels.. If yours goes up, if he's not already on the way, he will be.. "
Gohan understood. Calina felt a push of energy. A gust of chi gently pressed against her face, and without warning it gave to larger burst. Calina could feel his Chi rising. She had no idea he had this much power inside him.
Arms, biceps, pects and every other muscle in his body temporarily enlarged. His Saiyan blood overtaking his human. Calina could feel a small chill run down her back as she began to smile.
"..could you stop staring at him like that.." Calina turned her view over to Krillin. Who was staring dead at Calina. " I think you might be drooling a little.." Krillin spoke in a blunt tone. He then raised his eyes back up to Freiza.
" Oh Calina.. I've been waiting for a chance to pop that beady little head off that disgusting monkey body.. I was going to simply kill you.. But now that the dragon balls are gone.. I'm going to skin you.. I'm going to make sure you're conscious as I break every one of your bones. And when you go to breath your last breath, I'm going to suffocate you. So all you remember from this world is sadness.. and silence." Frieza's lecture made Calina's skin crawl. The most frightening part of it was the fact that it was probably true. Calina had watched another office talk back to Frieza once, and Frieza literally ripped out his tongue. He then proceeded to slap the man in the face with it.
Gohan's power began to shoot up further. Calina could feel the heat pouring off of him. He was almost over doing it. " Gohan you don't have to-" Calina was going to tell him to chill it out a little. But Gohan cut her off.
" I'm going to destroy you.." Gohan's breathing was increasing, Calina could smell his Saiyan side much more now than before. Without notice Calina watched Gohan dart forward and attack Frieza head on.
Calina only had enough time to take a breath. Gohan was already engaged in combat with Frieza. " Gohan NO! " Krillin bellowed as he began to shake yet again. This time Calina didn't smell fear.. She smelled hate instead. Turning briefly Calina watched Krillin bolt forwards and attack Frieza alongside Gohan. " That human.. doesn't have a chance. " Calina thought allowed to herself. Only thirty seconds or so in and Krillin was sent to the ground in a massive boom. The dust had not even begun to clear and he was already up and at Frieza again. Calina couldn't understand.
Frieza was laughing as Gohan fought him. Fianally, Frieza shot a hard knee into Gohan and slammed him with a palm to his back. Gohan propelled towards the ground. Calina shot forwards, and in a rolling attempt, she wrapped her arms around him from his back. Arms embracing his chest, Calina's chin was sitting on his shoulder. She had stopped him from plummeting into the ground.
" You don't have to do this.." Calina whispered to him. Gohan then did something she didn't expect. He spoke up in a quiet tone.. " I'm going to protect you.." Gohan's voice seemed to change for a moment and wasn't his own. It was deeper, and more familiar. Calina's eyes grew wide as she began to shift her nose. Her eyes began to water, as she could smell Zero. She could hear his voice and feel the safety he gave her. Calina released her grip on Gohan as she slowly hovered to the ground.
Gohan took off and was getting beaten badly. Calina was in a trance, on her knees she stared off into the distance. She could have sworn Zero was just here with her.
The smell of Gohan's blood awoke her. Looking up she saw his head was busted in. Blood had begun to pour over his face and Krillin was in rough shape as well.
" What do' you say we make this fun.. One last, ' horrah,' as they say.." Frieza's words began to echo as his power level sky rocketed. Within seconds the wind around the area had begun to pick up, and Calina watched in horror, as Frieza transformed into his second stage.
Frieza was now much taller than before. His body was also much buffer than before and his horns now, instead of pointing out, pointed up. His face was no longer youthful, and had morphed into more adult looking features. "AH..hahaahah… You have no idea how much pain you are all going to be in! " Frieza bellowed loudly as Gohan once again charged at Frieza. Krillin was right behind him. Frieza dodged Gohan and slammed one of his horns directly into Krillin's abdomen. Impaling him, Frieza then shook the human off of him.
Krillin fell to the ground, he wasn't dead, just badly injured. He had begun to roll around in pain. Calina rushed and approached him. Blood had begun to pour from his wound. " Where-Whe.. Where are those food things! The ones that healed me.. Please I can give you one! " Calina spoke allowed as Krillin nodded sideways. " You got.. the last once sister.." Krillin said with a bright grin. His tone was upbeat and a little sarcastic. There was another way to fix the wound. It was painful, but Calina needed to take it. Charging hot chi into her fingertips, Calina placed her finger tips onto the wound. Krillin screamed as she begun to cauterize the wound. Only a few seconds later, Gohan slammed into the ground just a few yards from where her and Krillin were. Calina's face was mortified. What was taking Goku and Prince Vegeta so long..
Calina slowly got to her feet. " This was how it was always supposed to be.." Calina had begun to smile as she talked. Turning to face Frieza she began to power up. " I'm going to.." Frieza began to laugh as he cut her off. " What? You're going to what?.. Live and defeat me?.. Not a chance.. Tonight I will finally put an end to the Saiyan race.. You and Vegeta are as good as dead.. " Frieza was now much taller than her. She didn't care. She had died, or was close enough to be considered dead. If it wasn't for.. Calina glanced down at Gohan, and then at Krillin. If it hadn't been for her new friends, she wouldn't be alive.
Calina had begun to power up, her chi was sky rocketing rapidly, so fast, that Calina's body was having issues handling the energy. Calina's tail was unraveled. It had begun to twitch. Calina's hair was lifting as gusts of energy rushed around her. Building and building until she finally charged at Frieza. She had become astoundingly fast, infact her movements were faster than Frieza's. His bulkier frame was at a disadvantage.
Calina placed her palms together at her side. Within a few seconds, a large pink chi ball began to form. Disappearing and reappearing, Calina placed her palms forwards and shot a devastatingly large chi beam at Frieza. The beam wasn't very wide, but what it lacked in width, it made up for in height. It's color was a florescent pink, and as the beam dispersed, it's concentration increased.
Frieza's body was trembling, and as the debris cleared Frieza's body was broken open. Deep violet blood was pooling from the front of his body, Freiza's face was half torn off. " YOU… LITTLE! PARACITE! " His arms were flailing as his temper was going through the roof.
Calina's hair seemed to be permanently lifted as her chi had begun to keep pick up. Body in an A fighting position, Calina charged at Frieza once again.
The two fought for only a few minutes before Frieza lost his momentum. His limbs were thick and heavy. Calina connected with a hard knee to his abdomen and simultaneously followed it with a hard slam to his back. Frieza's body was catapulted downwards. His body made contact with the remorseless namekian planet. A billow of dust lifted off the ground as his body made contact with the planet.
Calina could feel her energy rising. It was a strange feeling. Power pushing through her body. Every cell in her body was in overdrive, her breathing had increased exponentially.
Frieza was frustrated. Although his body was concealed by the debris, Calina could hear his scream. Like a toddler who didn't get a toy they wanted, he was having a melt down. Finally something gave, as Frieza's body finally surfaced. A brilliant light pierced through the settling dust and rock. Frieza had transformed once again. This new form was much faster, and somewhat more complex. Frieza now had an elongated skull with much of his body becoming not only larger but much more lean. Calina's body got a sharp pull of adrenaline. She could feel how much more powerful he had become.
With the flicker of a second, Frieza was behind her. Without time to react Calina felt him grip both of his disgusting hands around her tail. He then proceeded to squeeze, Calina began to scream.
Calina's scream was deep and by the end of her first breath and felt as though time had stopped. No matter how much training she had gone through, no matter how many times she had been blown up, nothing had been able to break her of this habit. Like all Saiyans, Calina hated to have her tail harmed, and infact, it was the one thing she had yet to even begin to master. Her limbs felt like mush, and Calina could feel a lightheaded sensation wash over her subconscious.
Frieza had begun to laugh, but Calina was in far to much pain to of noticed. The malicious alien then proceeded to rip Calina's tail from the base of her vertebrae. Calina let out a piercing scream before falling to the ground. Her back bleeding profusely as Frieza continued to laugh.
Gohan once again attempted to step in. Frieza was laughing as he held Calina's tail in his hands. Her blood covered his abdomen. Gohan's body was badly bruised, and his eyes seemed to barely be open. Krillin wasn't but a few seconds behind him. The two were quickly sent pummeling to the ground.
Calina's body seemed to become very hot. Her temperature was through the roof. Calina felt weak, but in an attempt to get to her feet she made it to all fours. Body shaking, she could feel something in her. She wasn't sure what was going on, however she did know that the pain from earlier had subsided. The pain was replaced with an obscure burst of energy. Without notice Calina's chi sky rocketed, and a new tail shot out of the previous tail's location. It was different though.
Calina's new tail was slightly longer than the first, but more noticeably it had changed colors, and was now a brighter brown, almost white actually. Calina began to get her strength back.
Calina slowly began to get to her feet. Her energy began to shoot up again. Calina looked up to see Frieza holding Gohan by his hair. Gohan was struggling to get out of his grip. Krillin was on the ground, immobile. Shooting into the air, Calina made a grab at Gohan.
She was met with a hard fist from Frieza, however he did let go of Gohan. Calina felt something crack in her face. Taking the blow she reached up and slammed a fist up into Frieza's jaw. Sending him backwards. The two paused for only a moment before combating once again. Calina's energy finally peaked and leveled off. Frieza however seemed to have become more drained. The two spared for a few more minutes before Frieza transformed once again.
This time his height remained the same, but his strength more than tripped. Infact, Calina had to doublecheck herself to make sure she was sensing correctly. His figure was lean, and his skin consisted of mostly a while color. His chest plate was a deep purple, as was a section on his head. His body seemed, more perfected.
" I must say Saiyan.. Bravo! " Frieza had begun to clap. A menacing laugh now echo'ed through the area. Frieza's laugh was deep and loud. Calina lowered herself to the ground. Her chest begun to rise and fall much more slowly now. Her shoulders were hunched, she could feel that a few of her ribs were cracked. A thick pulse of crimson blood had begun to roll down her face. It covered her left eye and had begun to run down her neck. Her chi was dropping at a rapid rate.
" I haven't gotten to transform into my perfect form in decades! This is wonderful! " Frieza paused one last time before pulling up his left arm. Pointing his thumb and pointer finger at Calina in a gun shape, he smiled. " And now you die! " Within milliseconds a large pink beam charged and shot forwards. Calina took a deep breath in and tried to move. However she only managed to shift her body only a little.
Preparing for the worst, she felt an arm wrap around her waist and lift her from her position. The arm was careful to not touch her broken ribs. While being lifted into the air, Calina watched her hair shift from her eyes, and below her Frieza's beam cut through the solid rock that was behind her.
Time sped up again, and Calina was still being cradled by a well-developed arm. Pulling her head up, Calina saw a namekian. She was shocked. She had no idea who the man was, but he was fairly tall. His muscular structure was something she had never seen in any other namekian. This man had a white and purple fighting cloths on. He lowered her to the ground before speaking up. " GOHAN! Get UP! " His voice was slightly rattled. Gohan's body was sprawled out, and he was on his back. Slowly he sat up, and pushed a large smile. One eye closed, he spoke up. " Piccollo…"
Goku and Vegeta weren't even a minute behind them. Both arriving in a modest fashion. Vegeta met eye contact with you for a moment before emitting a low " Humph…" Goku however, was much more thrilled that the three of them were still alive. Vegeta saw Calina's tail and quickly spoke up. " What the hell is that on your back! " The Saiyan prince looked more intrigued then disgusted. Goku was more concerned with Frieza. The namekian released his grip on you and quickly made his way over to Gohan and Krillin. Calina watched in amazement as Gohan, without hesitation, grasped Piccollo's waist. Praising him. The namekian responded by smirking only slightly and padding Gohan on the head.
" OH what do we have here! A good, ole'd fashion monkey parade!.. I never thought I would get the chance to kill off more of the Saiyan species.. Today is my lucky day.." Frieza's smirk began to grow as he started to laugh again.
" SHUT it, you pathetic insect! " Prince Vegeta spat at Frieza. The cold blooded alien didn't take the interruption very well. Clearly Vegeta had touched some sort of nerve.
" I'm going to handle this Kakarot.. You go play somewhere else.." Prince Vegeta's tone was very serious. Goku went to interrupt, but prince Vegeta was already off.
It only took about twenty minutes, but Vegeta was eventually beaten to an inch of his life. Unwilling to give up, Vegeta pressed on. Frieza's new form was too quick, and too powerful. Calina respected Prince Vegeta, more than he would ever care to recognize. Watching him get beat, wasn't exactly enjoyable. However, Calina's body was badly bruise, and she had expended a lot of energy. Not to mention the amount of blood she had lost.
Calina watched as Prince Vegeta was pinned. Finally Goku stepped in, and Calina couldn't help but feel like there was hope. His demeanor was so strange. He was very optimistic for being a Saiyan. The next couple of events seemed to happen very fast.
Krillin, the human whom Calina had known for a short period of time, was levitated into the air by Frieza's telepathy. While screaming, he then imploded. His body shooting into millions of tiny pieces. Calina's body had become more and more weak and she was starting to become somewhat delusional.
Calina felt a power level she had never felt before. It was.. Legendary..
Goku had reacted from the pain of loss. The loss of the human had done something. Struck something alive in him. Calina felt his chi sky rocket. His body began to bulge and morph slightly. His hair began to lift, to change. A shocking blonde color over too his whole head of hair. A zapping electric yellow charge began to pulse off of him.
Calina refused to pass out. She wanted to be the one to fight Frieza. To kill him. She wanted it, she had wanted it for so long. Attempting to stand to her feet , her knees shook.
" Gohan.. I want you to take Vegeta and the others and go.. Go with Piccollo. Get as far from here as you can… You should only have a few more minutes before you get transferred to Earth.." Goku's voice wasn't the same upbeat tone. It had changed into a sharp, cold voice. One that Calina immediately respected. Gohan attempted to talk back, to explain that he could help. But he was shot down.
Calina felt her knees give way. She felt as though she collapsed to the grass in slow motion. With a deep breath she looked up. Was Goku, a Super Saiyan?.. The level of power that only a handful of Saiyans had ever reached. Something so unheard of, that Calina had only seen stories written in books about it. Again, Calina felt the Namekian reach down and pick her up.
" Gohan.. Lets go…" Piccollo's voice was cold, but concerned. He wanted to get everyone to safety. Calina felt her body get thrown over the Namekian's shoulder. A small moan escaped her mouth when she felt her cracked ribs press against the Namekian's shoulder.
They took off. " I.. want to defeat him… I'm supposed to.." Calina murmured to herself… " Just a few minutes from death and you're still talking about ending a fight.. You're definitely a Saiyan.." Piccollo's voice trailed off as Calina's eyes began to close. For a brief moment Calina could smell Gohan. She then passed out.
( That's it folks! I'm starting the next chapter with a small, brief intro and then focusing in on some Calina and Gohan. Only two or so more chapters, maybe less, before I start up the Android Saga! )
