~*- Sassafras -*~ Chapter Three: Sassafras

"Nightmoon, stop struggling!" Akkima protested. Foxx looked at Akkima strangely. Nightmoon perched herself on Akkima's shoulder and stayed there, obviously offended.
"Don't take it so personally," she scoffed at the dragon. She slowed down when she saw both Piccolo and Goku slow down, and drift down to the land. Akkima and Foxx exchanged glances, then did the same.
"Daddy!" a boy cried out, and ran out of the house towards Goku.
"Hi Gohan!" he responded, and Foxx snorted in disgust. Gohan glared at her. Akkima glanced back and forth from Gohan to Foxx.
"You two know each other?" she said, smirking a little, then looked at Gohan. "So your name is Gohan, and what's your name?" she looked at Foxx.
"My name is Foxx," she replied, and extended her hand out to Akkima. Akkima took her wrist and they both touched shoulder to shoulder. Nightmoon gave a high trill and flew off of Akkima's shoulder onto the ground. Akkima laughed and picked the dragon up, and talked sweetly to it.
"Well, well, well. Look who we've got here. A brat girl and her dust bunny!" a female voice said, and stepped out of the shadows.
"Sassafras," Akkima said with disgust, looking at the immortal with human characteristics. Sassafras laughed.
"You seem disgusted, maybe I should be more of a guest!" she put her hands together and created a dark ball of fire and fired it at Nightmoon. The small dragon squeaked in panic then flew into the woods with the energy ball trailing after her. Sassafras cackled after there was a big explosion.
"Leave us alone!" Gohan stepped up.
"You'll pay for that!" Akkima was trembling with rage. Sassafras walked up to her and smirked. Piccolo stepped up to Sassafras.
"I'll take you on. right here, right now!" he challenged.
"Okay, you lose." Sassafras produced static lightning through her hand and hit Piccolo bluntly on the head.
"Piccolo!!" Akkima cried.
"He's just uncontious, but as for you, missy, you're coming with me." Sassafras grabbed her arm.
"Over my dead body!" Foxx punched Sassafras to the ground.
"That can be arranged," the immortal cackled as she got back up. She grabbed Foxx's throat and started tighten her grip.
"Stop it!" Gohan flew at Sassafras head on, but it was no use. With her free hand, she did the same thing to him as she did Piccolo which knocked him uncontious. Gohan fell and hit the ground with a thump.
"Why are you doing this?" Goku shouted at her. Foxx gasped for breath after Sassafras let go of her and threw her to the ground. She turned to him and grinned at him, after checking that Foxx had fainted.
"You want a fight? I'll give you a fight!" Akkima appeared behind Sassafras and punched her in the back and caught her offguard.
"My plan has already worked, dear Akkima. When you look at the moon, you will become evil! Aren't I a genius?! Ha ha ha!" she grinned with delight. Akkima gasped with horror.
"Now let me give you another gift!" as she advanced towards Akkima, Akkima was backing up. Goku fired an attack at Sassafras which knocked her onto the ground.
"Hope you have a nice trip!" Goku commented, making Sassafras look up.
"Saiyans...........those bakas," she got up and walked towards Goku. "So, it's a fight you want. You're on."
As they started to battle, Akkima and Foxx both looked up.
"She is pure evil," Akkima shuddered.
"That's enough! I don't care, let's get her!" Foxx flew up to the evil lady and was getting ready to fight her, but Sassafras kneed Foxx in the back, causing her to falter and hit a tree, knocking her uncontious. Akkima screamed and charged over.
"Foxx! Nooo!" she glared at Sassafras, who was battling Goku.
"If you promise to rid yourself of all that evil inside of you, I will let you go," Goku promised.
"Ha! Fat chance," Sassafras replied.
"Kame," Goku began, but Sassafras kicked him so hard in the stomach that it left him gasping for breath.
"Even if you turn into a Super Saiyan, you won't be able to defeat me, Goku." Sassafras sneered.
"How do you know my name?!" he exclaimed, snapping his head up.
"That is none of your concern."
"We shall see about that," he grinned, changing into a Super Saiyan right before her eyes. Akkima opened her mouth in awe.
"You get her Goku," Akkima whispered under her breath.
"As I told you before, you cannot defeat me. Give me the girl and I will spare your life." Akkima clenched her fists with rage.
"That m-m-monster!" she whispered to herself ferociously. "She thinks she can just take me? After what she did to my friends? Not in this lifetime!" she phased in behind Sassafras and shot a Masenko at her, but she dodged it. Sassafras turned around to face Akkima and smirked in her own evil little way.
"A tad bit slow if I do say so myself," she laughed. Akkima's face turned red with rage. Behind Sassafras, Akkima saw Goku deciding whether or not to use an attack on the witch.
"Not as slow as you, you monster," she replied, trying to buy Goku some time. "You are going to die, Sassafras. You've hurt my friends and me. Whether you like it or not, you're going down." Sassafras just smiled.
"So, you really think you can beat me, huh? You little brat!" her facial expression turned into a scowl. Akkima lashed her tail and stood in a fighting stance. Before she could react, however, Sassafras had phased behind Akkima and pinned her arms behind her back. Goku released the Kamehameha at Sassafras, not knowing that it would be Akkima's life in danger.
"Let me go!" she shrieked, trying to struggle out of Sassafras' arms. Sassafras growled and fired a direct attack, fainting her and giving her the gift that she had already planned for the young girl.
"Sweet dreams," she cackled and threw Akkima at the Kamehameha. Her deed already done, she disappeared in a cloud of smoke.


::Annoying Announcer at end of show:: "What will happen to Akkima after what Sassafras did to her? Will she survive, or suffer the ultimate consenquence of Death? Will Goku have enough time to save the young saiyan? Where are the other Z fighters? Find out on the next episode of Dr-"
::Akkima:: "Shall I dispose of you now? I'm sick of you! You always end the episode right when it gets to the good part! DIE!!" *fires her special attack*
::Announcer:: "Nooooooooo.......!!!!" *body gets mangled and is dead*
::Akkima:: *rubs her hands together twice* "Much better. Hopefully there won't be any more interruptions next time."
