Chapter Three: Departing Misery
*9 months later*
Neko looked at her stomach. It's been forever since she can remember her feet, and finally she can again.
Blake rushed into the room.
"What's the matter, Blake?" Neko asked alarmed.
He rubbed his eyes "I picked up the baby, and it cried."
"Don't worry," She smiled "It's just not use to you. Give it a week."
Scorpion walked out, holding a bundle.
"Blake, please leave this room," Neko said quickly. She has to tell Scorpion something extremely important.
Blake nodded, and left.
"What's wrong?" Scorpion asked.
Neko's gaze dropped to the floor "I have to leave."
"You will be back... right?"
She shook her head "It's not just this area, it's this planet. I'm due back right now... I found a man who builds space ships, and I have to go back home... my home that I came from." Neko would of laughed at herself if she had the attitude she had many months ago.
Scorpion gave Neko the child.
They walked outside to meet Lilly-chan.
Neko brushed Lilly-chan's nose "I can't bring a baby home..." And handed the child back.
Scorpion received the child in curiosity.
Neko mounted Lilly-chan "I..." She fell silent, then she felt a tear fall down her right cheek.
Scorpion reached up with his last free hand, and gently took the tear off with his hand "Don't cry..."
"Bye, Neko." Neko waved to the small infant that was named after her.
"Can you ever come back?" Scorpion said, nervously.
Neko turned the horse around and fell silent.
"What's wrong?"
"I'll try to come back, just take good care of Neko for me." She wiped another tear away, hardly even feeling sadness, just anger or despair.
Neko slashed the reins "Cha." And Lilly-chan started at a gallop, causing a stir-up of dust behind her.
Neko feared looking back. She knew she'd regret every moment of living on earth if she looked back, but in a way she was proud of her child.
Neko arrived at a campsite in an hour of crossing a thin forest.
"Dr. Briefs?" Neko called out, tying Lilly-chan to a tree in front of Dr. Brief's house.
There was the sound of construction out behind the small house, so Neko ventured behind there, and saw a medium-sized space ship.
"Wow," Neko said amazed "You made that in less then one day?"
Dr. Briefs looked up from his work and smiled "Of course. We'll have you back in sector 75-RG8 in no time."
Neko became silent, and sat agents the house to watch the mad scientist work.
Humans can be useful, she thought to herself, at home it took at least a week for each baby pod. Or maybe it is just this one. But that would be impossible...
Within half an hour, Dr. Brief's turned to Neko "Are you ready to go home?"
Neko slowly stood up "There's this new feeling in me," She said as she walked into the space ship "I want to go home, but in the strongest way, I don't. But I must obey Master Freeza." The doors hissed shut, and the pod began shaking as it blasted off, streaking the sky for miles, then finally hit space, and became still.
Dr. Brief's shrugged "My girl, that feeling is a conscience telling you what's best." But he knew Neko would never hear those words, or would she?
Neko slowly fell asleep whispering to herself "My Neko... Scorpion, take good care..."
Neko woke up to a rattling noise, then suddenly her heart stopped as soon as the pod did, and the doors began to shake, then slid open.
Neko was dazed and confused for seconds, seeing her old environment, but at the same time, it's normal for her.
As she got up, she began coughing from the pollution, then looked around where she landed, and began to fly back home.
When she arrived, she found only her father was home.
"Dad!" Neko said surprised.
"Neko," He smiled, and hugged her "I thought you weren't coming back, considering you took the wrong space pod."
Neko blushed, then looked up "How many know?"
"All."
She looked at the wall that had a couple pictures of Neko growing up on it, but she never saw her from below age four.
She sat down "Dad, there's something I've got to tell you that I found at the planet I went to... First, I know I am adopted."
"What?" Bardock said, and sat down in front of her "Don't listen to those fool males! You are my daughter, and always will be."
She shook her head "No, I know I am adopted."
Bardock fell silent, then nodded.
"And when I went to earth, I found your son.... Kakkarotto."
"Kakkarotto? You saw my son?"
She nodded.
"Is he okay?"
"He's growing up just fine," She smiled, rubbing her eyes.
Something happened to Bardock that Neko has never seen him do. Enough to make her cry more. For the first time in his life, Bardock himself cried.
"Dad, I'm going to talk to Master Freeza, and if I have to, I'll fight him." She stood up bravely "I am going to become the strongest female warrior in the universe, and I will free our people, father."
Bardock looked up surprised, then he nodded "I will come as well."
She nodded, then held out her hand to her adoptive father to help him up.
He looked surprised. Bardock, like Neko a year ago, has never gotten help. Nobody helps anyone out.
Bardock smiled, then held her hand, and got up.
They arrived at Master Freeza's castle just as the second sun was right above it.
Neko shot the doors down, and allowed herself in.
There, in the main hallway, was Master Freeza and three body guards: Dadoria, Zarbon, and Leed.
"Yes, Neko?" Master Freeza asked, looking dulled. Not another saiyan that's cracked, he thought to himself, soon they all will turn on me. Maybe it is time to get rid of them. Especially they hold chances of the power of super saiyans.
"It's time for you to pay." Neko growled.
Master Freeza looked at Neko's face for a second, then laughed "Your the daughter of the two monkeys who tried attacking me years ago! Striking resemblance."
"Yes," Bardock said in a low-tone "Lurrex and Terrel will get their revenge upon you."
Before Zarbon could attack, Master Freeza raised his left hand "Hold it, Zarbon. Let Leed fight."
Leed was a saiyan, as well, but was picked "out of the crowd" from Freeza himself when he saw how much fighting skills Leed had.
Behind her back, Neko played with the straps of her sword, and un-hooked it, but kept it behind her.
Leed nodded, and stepped forward.
"I am sorry I must kill my own," Neko and Bardock whispered to themselves.
"Here's a trick," Bardock said, leaping beside Leed "It's called Leed Who?"
"What?" He asked, confused.
Neko leaped out, flashing forward her sword, and sliced the saiyan in half.
"Poor kid," Neko said, prying her sword from his corpse "They'll never learn."
Bardock nodded.
Freeza turned around "Zarbon, dispose of these two. I have something important to attend, I want you to return to the ship when your done." And walked into the entrance of his ship.
Zarbon smiled "My honor to get rid of you monkeys."
Neko leaped at Zarbon with her sword, and he caught it, and twisted the sword in half, breaking it.
That female is indeed powerful, Master Freeza thought to himself as he planned for his ship to blast off, but stay in the gravity-pull range.
Neko stepped back for a second, scared. She specialized in her sword, and now it is gone.
"I am going to be the strongest female warrior," She whispered to herself and plunged at Zarbon.
Zarbon put his arm in front of him, catching the female girl, and chucked her off to the side, but Neko learned how to keep a firm grip to Zarbon's arm, and clung on with her life at stake, for behind her was the spike wall.
"So, you know a few things," Zarbon growled, flinging his arm around quickly, but Neko held on "That won't stop you from your downfall."
Bardock finally caught Zarbon's other arm.
Neko flung herself to Zarbon's back, and bit down onto the back of his neck.
This is for my child, Neko thought to herself as she dug her claws in.
Neko tasted blood. A painful taste, yet one that she craved. The blood caused her to want to battle more.
Zarbon gave out a long distressing call, then reached far behind his head, grabbing Neko by her neck, and flung her in front of him on the floor, but she managed to twist around in the air before she hit the ground, and landed on her feet.
"Neko, are you..." Bardock let go of Zarbon, and came to Neko's side "Are you... okay?"
Neko nodded slowly "I want you to listen to me, father, gather up all our people. We will take this no further, you hear me?"
Bardock looked surprised at his adopted daughter. She had always been quiet, and always wanting to train at all times. This may give her the advantage...
But maybe not, Bardock told himself, then shook his head. She will win, she has to.
Bardock nodded, then ran outside in search of all his people.
Neko rubbed her cheek, then looked at her hand surprised. She was bleeding.
"So you think your so good at this," Zarbon laughed "Your just a female."
Neko's eyes began twitching from anger "I am more then female... I am your worst nightmare."
Zarbon stepped forward, then held out his hand, and a beam of energy shot out at Neko, but she dodged it.
"That's not possible," Zarbon gasped.
Neko began twitching. A new feeling filled her. Energy. The hope of her people.
"Well, female?"
Neko felt tears stream down her face.
"I can't beat him..." She whispered "It's all lost now." But then she shook her head "No. I will fight for the rights of my race!"
Zarbon laughed "Your race has no rights, female."
Neko lunged at Zarbon again, but this time she vanished into thin air, and reappeared behind Zarbon, and kneed him right in his neck.
Zarbon collapsed, then leaped back up, locking Neko's head between his arms, and began to crush my skull.
Neko began struggling.
"It's useless," He laughed "Resistance is futile."
Neko bit down onto Zarbon's arm, biting the flesh right off.
Zarbon pushed Neko away from him, shouting words in his own tongue, that Neko thought sounded a lot like gibberish.
Neko felt exhausted, but kept her spirit up. She slowly turned around when...
Her arms fell limp to her side, and everything went quiet, most likely from shock. She looked down at her stomach, a sword going right threw it and blood dripping down... She can only hear the drops hit the ground, and even when Zarbon laughed all she heard was the drops hit the ground, and she fell onto her side, and struggled to pull the sword out and laid there on the ground with one arm stretched out towards the spike wall. Beside her was the decoration swords that somehow seemed familiar to her...
"My race... must be... freed..." She whispered "My daughter will... become your downfall, Zarbon. Mark my... words..." And her eyes slowly fell down and she slipped into the most satisfying sleep of her life.
The End
