Chapter 12

~~~~
~~~~

Trunks flew...quickly. How could he have been so blind to the
need to fight...the look in her eyes....the burning desire to be on
the battlefield? He didn't know...he could never know...he had
never felt it. But he knew Usagi did. Just like his father did...
Just like Goku did. And he knew that no matter what they did
she would always feel that way. She was a Saiyan...a Saiyan
Princess....more worthy of the royal title than he was. He knew,
deep down, that she was the heir to Vegeta's throne. That is why
he had taken her...to train her. His father had seen the look in
her eyes. She had the potential to become the greatest fighter
in the universe...but now...now she was like Vegeta. She had
become arrogant...and it would kill her...It would kill them..and
if they got in her way, he was sure she would kill them
personally....

~~~~

Piccolo flew...as quickly as he could. This was bad...very very bad.
The Androids, all *3* of them, were getting away, and Usagi didn't
seem to care. All she cared about was fighting them...She didn't
care that she would die. She didn't care that *they* would die...she
didn't care about anything anymore...but...revenge. The look of hate
in her eyes. The need to fight. The desire to kill the one that had
killed her love....it seemed as though it had consumed her, yet she
had been in complete control...He knew, deep down, that it was a
hopeless battle she was fighting.And until she realized that she
couldn't do anything without them to help her...guide her...she was
going to be just like Vegeta...and nothing scared him more than to
think of a power like hers...being as arrogant, selfish, cold-hearted...
foolish as Vegeta's.

~~~~

Krillin flew...quickly...he had to hurry! He HAD to! Usagi and
Vegeta were a dangerous pair...not to the Androids, but to
themselves. They were going to get them all killed. And it
seemed as though they didn't care at all. Where was the girl
who had selflessly thrown herself between Vegeta and Freiza?
Where was the girl who had saved hundreds of military
personel during the fight w/ Nappa? Where was the girl?
When had she been replaced by this warrior...? And where
did that love that she had felt for Gohan go? Had she forgotten
everything? Everything that she and Bulma had told him? Had
she? Usagi...please be careful...please...let me be wrong about
what's happened to you...

~~~~

Android 17 attacked her. But none of his punches connected.
She was fast...very fast. They were high above the ground...
High above the battle between Android 18 and Vegeta....and
Vegeta was fairing as well as Usagi was.

Android 18 swept her feet, causing Vegeta to fall, but he used
the momentum to kick her in the stomach. Both flew away from
each other for a moment...but it didn't last long...soon, they were
at it again, and 18 was winning...she punched. He blocked. He
kicked, she dodged and attacked. This went on for a while...
Until one of 18's punches connected...

Vegeta was thrown back a few hundred feet...Android 18
prepared a ki blast...And fired it straight at him.

Usagi continued to dodge Android 17's attacks, ki blasts, and
more. Some of her own attacks connected, but it didn't phase
the android...Just as his attacks didn't seem to phase her. It
was obvious to both that this was just a warmup...

Suddenly she gasped. "Father..." She blocked 17's next attack,
concentrating her energy....his next attack went straight through
her as she suddenly faded.

Vegeta stared as the blast flew closer...and quickly. He was
unable to move. So this is where I die? This is what she meant
by the Androids killing me? Just one simple attack by a weakling
of an Android!! Suddenly, a vision of silver was between him
and the blast.

When the dust cleared...the Androids stared in shock. There was
Usagi, arms crossed in front of her. Vegeta was staring at his
daughter in shock...

"Father...are you alright?" She whispered, concern apparent in
her voice.

"Of course." He whispered, though the pain was obvious in his
voice...

"She blocked it..." 18
whispered. "How...she wasn't close enough..."

"How...Did you do that?" Android 17 whispered. He was Usagi
close her eyes for a moment, then she was standing right in front
of him, as if she had never left.

"Instant transmission." She smirked at them.

And that's how the Zfighters (Trunks, Piccolo, and Krillin) found
them. They landed behind the two Saiyans, staring in shock at the
power emminating from Usagi.

Androids 17 and 18 frowned angrily. At the same time, they threw
ki blasts, flying in to attack. Usagi easily deflected the attacks
away from the fighters. 17 and 18 appeared before her, attacking.
Android 17 began to attack her, and as she dodged, 18 attacked
Vegeta.

"We have to help them!" Trunks said and he and Piccolo flew
towards the battle. Trunks went to help his sister, and Piccolo to
help Vegeta. 18 had no problem dodging the attacks, in fact, she
was getting annoyed at how easy it was.

Usagi and 17 however were evenly matched. For every attack made
there was an easy block, or another attack in response. But when
Trunks arrived, the tables turned...Usagi frowned angrily as her
brother appeared to help her. He was just in the way...She and 17
were much faster and stronger than to lavender-haired Saiyan, now
turned Super Saiyan.

Finally, Usagi had enough. She blocked one of Android 17's attacks,
then hit her target....Trunks. Trunk's eyes widened in shock as his
own sister kicked him hard in the stomach, causing him to fly through
the air and to the ground painfully. But in the process, Usagi had
left herself vulnerable. Android 17 created a ki blast and attacked
her. Usagi turned in surprise, the blast hitting her head on. When
it disappeared, Usagi was laying on the ground, trying to get up. 17
flew down and landed beside her, creating another attack.

Everyone turned in shock as they felt the force of the blast. Trunks
stared at his sister in shock...She...attacked me! She really has
become heartless...she's exactly like Vegeta. She's become just like
our father...just like she always wanted. Gohan was right...

Piccolo stared in schock as well...18 took the opportunity to punch him.
He went down easily...unconscious.

Vegeta gasped softly. "Usagi." He whispered. 18 grabbed his arm,
throwing him into Trunks, both were thrown back by the force. Both
were unconscious when they landed.

Krillin stared in shock at the site. Usagi......He thought sadly, too
scared to move. Usagi looked up at Android 17 angrily.

He smirked at her. "It was a good move, getting the boy out of the
way...but it backfired on you, little girl."

Her eyes narrowed. "Yeah. It did."

17 raised the power of the blast..."Time to die, little pest..."

She stared at him, once more her face was emotionless. "Yes...but
which one of us." And she stood up, standing right in front of him.
She smirked at him as she herself prepared a ki blast...

And the two attacked each other...

~~~~

"So...where do you think they went?" Piccolo whispered.

"I don't know...and I don't care!" Trunks muttered to himself
angrily. "She's turned against us. She attacked me..."

"Don't say that about my daughter, boy...don't you DARE say that
about your Princess."

Trunks glared at his father, still angry over what happened.

Krillin stood silently. Staring off into space. He had seen it all...
he knew the truth...and there was no getting through to the two
Saiyans about what happened. They refused to listen to him...

He had seen what Usagi had done...she had saved Trunks. She
had died because she had saved him. He still remembered what
had happened...

Usagi was fighting hard against 17, and holding her own. But when
Trunks had arrived she had been unable to fight Android 17 to her
full ability. 17 had noticed this and had begun to focus his attacks
on Trunks. Usagi had used most of her power to block the attacks
to her brother. Finally, she had been left with no choice. She had
had to get Trunks away from Android 17, so she had attacked him.
If Trunks had been paying attention, he would have seen this...but
he was too caught up in the fight to notice what was truly happening...

But Krillin hadn't...He had seen it all, and The two Saiyans refused
to listen to anything he said...now Usagi was gone...and so were the
Androids...when the dust had cleared from the blast...Usagi, and all
three Androids were gone.

~~~~

Goku groaned loudly in his sleep, tossing and turning. Yamcha and
ChiChi tried their best to help the Saiyan, but there was nothing they
could do but wait...

And to make things worse, Goku's dreams weren't very pretty...not
very pretty at all...

~~Goku's dream~~

Goku floated high above the battlefield...Destruction was everywhere...
The land had been torn apart in many places. And scattered around
were the bodies of the Zfighters. Yamcha, Tien, and ChowSu were
dead on one side of the battlefield...he barely recognized them...Then
Krillin was off to another side, unconscious, but still badly injured.
Then Trunks and Vegeta to another side of the battlefield...on their
knees and unable to stand back up...obvious broken bones and deep
cuts covered them...and in the center of the battlefield stood two
Super Saiyans...male and female...side by side and glowing with energy.

"Gohan...Usagi..." He whispered softly. They were older, it seemed.
Usagi was probably three years older than before...(he was injured so
he didn't see her when she returned w/ Vegeta) and Gohan...was a year
older.

Their enemy stood in the middle of the battlefield...surrounded by a
cloud of dust...he couldn't see him...But he knew that this enemy was
powerful...and would kill them all...if not for the young Saiyans
protecting them.

Then a blast came from the enemy...surrounding Gohan and Usagi...

"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

~~End Goku's dream~~

Goku screamed in his sleep.

"Hurry! Get him his medicine!" ChiChi said to Yamcha..as soon as they
gave it to him, the Saiyan calmed down...
