Chapter 7

"YOU LIED TO ME!!!" Vegeta growled angrily at Usagi...The poor
blonde Saiyan Princess was currently sitting on a rock...trying to
keep from crying as her father's power level got higher and
higher. "You said he didn't have the Dragon Ball!! You lied!!! You
knew all along he had it, didn't you!!!!"

She cringed. "I had to, Vegeta! I had to tell you that in order to
ensure that THEY had the Dragon Ball!" She looked away.

Suddenly, a punch connected with her cheek and she was thrown
back away from Vegeta. "Stay away from me, girl...Get out of my
sight. And leave me the hell alone..."

Usagi reached up slowly to touch her bruised cheek. The hit
hadn't really hurt her...the Androids had done worse to her...to her
and those she loved...but she hadn't loved the Androids...This time...
it has been her own father to hit her. She deserved it...after all,
she had deceived him...

Slowly, she turned to leave. "Alright, Vegeta...." She whispered...
"Goodbye..." And she flew off...

Freiza grabbed the last scouter...all the others had been destroyed,
but he had kept one hidden...safe from all eyes. He knew that there
would be someone out there smart enough to destroy them and he
wouldn't keep all his eggs in one basket..."He turned on the scouter,
searching for power readings...all the readings came in groups....
except for two...and one was Vegeta...the other...the other had a power
equal to his own...And that scared him. He needed to deal with this
power quickly. Or else he could die fighting it....

Meanwhile, the Ginyu force would take care of the rest of the
small bands of fighters hiden around the planet...Vegeta included...

He sent them after the Dragon Balls...knowing that they would
succeed...

Usagi closed her eyes as she sat on the top of the small plateau
that was on the island. Her father hated her...It was over now...
How could she ever regain his trust...earn his love...his approval...

Tears coursed down her cheeks....Why...Why does he hate me so
much...I was only doing what I had to do to perserve the important
events in the timeline.... She held back a sob....

"Oh look...a little girl...what's wrong? Loose your little dolly?" A
new voice whispered.

She turned quickly towards it, eyes narrowing. "Freiza." She
whispered.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Usagi..." She said coldly, eyes narrowing.

"Do you know that you have a high power level, Usagi?" He
raised an eyebrow.

"Of course...do you know that it is higher than your power level,
Freiza?" She said sarcastically.

Freiza's eyes narrowed. "That is where you are wrong...girl...It is
no where near as high as mine is..."

"We'll see..." She whispered...but inside she was terrified. She
couldn't fight Freiza...she couldn't hurt him...because if she did...then
Goku would never fight him...Neither would Gohan or Krillin...or Piccolo
or Vegeta...Goku wouldn't turn Super Saiyan...and it would all be
useless...hopeless.

And she was helpless against Freiza...She could only stay alive...
And to do that, she had to have a plan. As a Super Saiyan, she could
beat him...but as Usagi...never.

She allowed herself to power up into Super Saiyan. Her silver hair
and eyes glowing with power. Freiza's scouter read her power....and it
was quite a power.

"Freiza...are you ready to fight?" She whispered...and Freiza smirked.

He raised his palm towards her and the battle began...
She dodged and he dodged...she attacked and he attacked....

Freiza had the upper hand because she wasn't able to attack him...not
truly attack him...and soon, he was able to punch her...over and over
again...If only she could use her true power...then maybe she wouldn't
be beaten...but that didn't really matter, did it? Her father hated her...
The time line was more important...maybe Trunks *would* succeed in
stopping the Androids....

Then suddenly, Freiza stopped attacking her. "Leave the girl alone,
Freiza..." A new, softer voice whispered.

"Another Namek..." Freiza seemed to grumble to himself.

Usagi felt someone helping her stand...and looked up, a small smile
on her face...."Hello...Nail...." She whispered. "It's good to finally...
meet you..." Usagi smiled slightly..."I'll let you take it from here..."

Nail nodded at her. "It's good to meet you, Usagi..." He
whispered...

And she was left wondering.....How did he know my name?
