*Chapter 18*
.:: Under Siege ::.
Rosemary was saddened to waken in a position of certain solitude. Where was the rock hard body that had kept her safe and warm last night?
"Rio?" Rosemary called out getting up and rubbing her eyes. When there was no answer she called out even louder, "Rio?!"
"Up here Rosemary!" Rio called back from outside the hide-out.
"Oh, okay." Rosemary laid down again to go to sleep.
"Rosemary! Are you getting ready down there?" Rio asked.
"No, I'm sleeping." Rosemary muttered.
"Well, get up. We have to get an early start so that we can lead the first troops."
"Alright, alright." Rosemary got up and stretched. The armor was right next to her all ready to put on. The under part was just like Rosemary's pink armor except the boots weren't built in and it was silver instead. The top part was just like the old shoulder-less sayian armor, except it was ivory white with a silver dragon across the stomach. There was as well silver metal looking boots that Rosemary was surprised to find actually the most comfortable boots she ever wore; a silver laser-gun for her right arm; and a silver helmet with a clear glass scouter.
"Ready." Rosemary jumped out the hole. Rio had on the same uniform, but in gold instead and a yellow-glass scouter. "No fair! How come you get gold and I get silver?"
Rio smiled, "All the guys got gold."
"Does that mean all the girls have silver?"
"Yep."
"Not fair."
"What, you'd rather have the villages be colour coded again? In that case you should be wearing pink."
Rosemary went cold then exclaimed, "That's okay! Silver's fine! Silver's fine!"
"Thought so." Rio smirked, "Ready to go?"
"All ready." Rosemary grinned nodding.
"Let's go." Rio said and flew off.
"Hey wait for me!" Rosemary flew after him.
They headed to the Vegeta-sei lake where all the sayians were meeting.
As Rosemary and Rio flew over Collie's house, Bulma came out the house.
"What a beautiful day!" She stretched.
"For bloodshed." Ika smirked pushing her way out the door, she was all dressed and ready.
"Oh, I forgot," Bulma looked down, "what pity."
"Yeah, whatever. Tell the others I went to the lake." Ika said and flew off.
"Hey ma!" Collie shouted running out the house still in her pajamas with her blanket tangled around her and Jacko stuck to her back cursing silently, "Wait!"
"She's gone you damn ass! Now let me go before I blast your god-damned head off your god-damn shoulders and blow the resta ya to god-damn Hell!" Jacko cursed at her peeved.
"Hey, what are ya doin' on my ass?" Collie just noticed Jacko was there.
Jacko turned red with anger and started shouting curses, "You dragged me outta bed dammit! Here I was resting in my bed and you have to be a stupid ass and drag me down the damn stairs! This could be the last time I ever get to sleep you bitch!"
"That still don't explain why you're on my ass." Collie looked at him.
Jacko gritted his teeth, "I dunno Collie, I like it here."
"Well stop it!" Collie yanked Jacko off the blanket.
"Did Ika leave already?!" Unagi ran out with a piece of bread in his mouth.
"Yeah." Bulma nodded.
"Thanks, Fruinu." Unagi saluted and flew off.
"Fruinu?" Bulma repeated raising one brow.
Collie started laughing, "That's a Sayian name!"
"What's it mean?" Bulma looked at her.
"Fruit!" Collie laughed.
"Hey." Bulma narrowed her eyes.
"Well, now you're are official one of us." Jacko slapped Bulma on the back.
"Look! It's Sushi and Koi!" Collie pointed to the sky, then shielded her eyes to see. "Who are those other two?"
"So," Sushi smiled at Tiff, "When's it expected?"
"What?" Tiff asked.
"Don't fool, it's plain to see you're having a kid." Sushi said.
Tiff blushed, "I'm not sure, probably in 4 more months, but you know sayian kids--- when they want to come out… they come out!"
"So have you two made any plans for the future?" Koi asked.
"What? Like uh marriage?" Miko looked up quickly, "I um, I'm not good with uh, that kinda commitment."
Tiff's eyes darkened, "It's okay though."
Sushi looked at them and stopped, "No it's not!"
The other three stopped as well.
"This is war!" Sushi shouted, "You two might never see each other EVER again! You really want to take that chance?"
Miko sighed, "Like Marriage will stop us from dying."
"It won't, but it gives you two an unbreakable bond!" Sushi said.
Tiff looked down and Miko looked at her, "Is… is that what you want?"
"Well…" Tiff started, "I dunno…"
"Bay, c'mon tell me. I ain't gonna happen 'less I know that's what YOU want." Miko told her.
Koi motioned for Sushi to go. Sushi nodded and Koi and Sushi flew off.
"Well, it is what I want Miko." Tiff looked into his brown eyes, "It is, but… I know your parents never got married…"
"So ya thought that's the way I wanted it too." Miko nodded looking down, "I guess it was, but if ya wanna get married then I'm willing to go through with it."
"Are you sure?" Tiff looked up bright-eyed.
"Yeah." Miko nodded again.
"Oh, Miko!" Tiff smiled and hugged Miko.
"They make such a good couple." Sushi smiled looking back at the two as they flew to the Sayian Lake.
"Yes, they'd be perfect is that girl spoke out more." Koi said firmly, but gently. Sushi looked at him and he grinned.
~ How? How'd this happen? Why'd it happen to ME?! ~ Trunks worried about Rosemary as he sat on his bed with all his armour on except the helmet, ~ Don't be a fool Trunks! You knew this was going to happen! You knew it was going to happen the moment you laid eyes on that guy! Besides, how could you blame Rosemary? You couldn't rightfully call her your girlfriend. She was taken away from you practically right after you met. And when she was captured, sure you planned to save her, but did you? No, it was that other guy that saved her. ~
Trunks stood up and mumbled as he put on his helmet, "Rosemary, I love you with all my heart, but I realize now--- I'm not the right choice for you--- and I respect that… I guess."
"What was that boy!" Vegeta shouted.
Trunks turned surprised, "Oh, hey dad."
"What did you say?" Vegeta scowled at Trunks.
"Nothing." Trunks went out the door.
"That didn't sound like nothing! Don't you turn your back on me boy! I demand you tell me what you said!" Vegeta shouted.
Trunks sighed and turned around, "I said Rosemary's not right for me… or uh… visa versa."
"WHAT!" Vegeta shouted, "I don't think so you little brat! That's girl's going to be your mate even if I have to kill ever single sayian in this whole damn empire!"
"What?" Trunks looked at him shocked.
"What?" Bulma came behind Trunks just as shocked, "Are you forcing Trunks to…"
"Stay out of this woman! This doesn't concern you!" Vegeta yelled at Bulma.
"Like hell it does!" Bulma shouted right back, "Are you forcing my son to get married?! He's only 21 Vegeta! He has plenty of time!"
"Will you just stay out of this woman!" Vegeta shouted.
"NO!!! And my name is NOT WOMAN! It's BULMA, BULMA, BULMA! How the hell is that so hard to remember!" Bulma screeched.
Vegeta snorted and left to the lake.
"And Bulma wins again." Bulma smiled and looked at Trunks, "What was he talking to you about?"
"He wants Rosemary to be my uh… mate." Trunks stared wide-eyed down the steps into nowhere.
As one of the sayians spoke Rosemary stared blindly at the lake.
"What's up with you?" Rio looked at her.
"I haven't taken a nice bath in so long." Rosemary continued to stare until she finally jumped in.
"Rosemary!" Rio ran in after her.
Everyone looked at Rosemary and Rio swim in the water then go under. One minute, then two, then three, four, five…
"What's everybody looking at?" Sushi asked Collie's whole family as her and her dad landed followed by Tiff, Miko, and Vegeta.
"Rosemary and Rio went under," Collie started to snicker, "I think they're making out."
Vegeta gritted his teeth and went into the water.
"What's up? What I miss?" Trunks landed.
Sushi looked at him, "Sushi thinks Rio and Rosemary are making out under the water and your dad just went to break it up."
"Oh." Trunks looked at the water, he thought it would pain him to hear about Rosemary with another guy, but surprisingly it didn't.
Suddenly blasts came up from the water and a giant tidal wave hit the crowd. Everyone looked up and saw Rosemary being choked by a giant sea-creature!
Rio blew it's head off and Rosemary tossed the creature into the water. Meanwhile, Vegeta was beating the crap out of two other sea-creatures.
Rio and Rosemary landed as more creatures came up from the water.
"Damn those piranhas!" Rosemary cursed.
"Why'd you go and have to wake'em up! Now they're after us!" Rio shouted.
"Nobody told you to follow me!" Rosemary shouted back.
"I swore I'd protect you and I can't exactly do that when I don't know where you are!"
"I was underwater! What more do you need to know!" Rosemary snapped.
Trunks saw one of the creatures go after Rosemary and shouted, "Hey! Look out!"
"Huh?" Rosemary turned around and suddenly Trunks pushed Rosemary out the way making the piranha bite him instead of her. He dropped to the ground immediately starting to sweat.
"Trunks! You idiot! Why did you do that?! I could've got out the way! Why'd you let it bite you!" Rosemary shouted kneeling next to Trunks. "Do you know what's going to happen to you know?! It's poison's gonna kill you and there's no antidote!"
Trunks smirked and passed out.
"Trunks!" Rosemary shook him, "You can't die! Not before the battle! Not like this! Not like this!!!"
Rio gritted his teeth at seeing Rosemary so upset, he looked at the piranha creeping up behind Rosemary and blew it up. He turned to the crowd, "You wanna battle, right? Well, how 'bout a practice battle to get us ready!"
"Yeah!" All the sayians cheered and attacked the creatures coming out the lake.
"C'mon, follow me." Rio picked Trunks up and looked at Rosemary.
Rosemary looked at him dumbfounded.
"Do you want to save your friend or not!" Rio said firmly.
Rosemary nodded and got up.
"Follow me." Rio started flying and Rosemary flew after him.
"Where are we going?" She asked along the way.
"It's a lie." Rio said.
"What's a lie?" Rosemary tried to keep up.
"There is an antidote." Rio said, "The king would put out those things if there wasn't an antidote. It's just that, only him and his men know it."
Rosemary grinned happily, "Really?!"
"Yep." Rio nodded grinning.
"Hey wait a minute, why are you doing this?" Rosemary looked at him.
Rio smirked, "I hate to see you unhappy."
Rosemary blushed and looked away.
"We got'em all!" Jacko cheered jumping up with a fist in the air and all the sayians cheered.
"Hey," Sushi looked up, "Hey everyone!"
Everyone looked at her.
"Those mutant piranhas were as well from the mote surrounding the castle! So that means we can attack in the water!"
All the sayians cheered again and one yelled, "This may very well be our very last battle!"
"Yeah!" All the sayians cheered once again.
"Onward all you scavengers!" Ika ordered, "Princess Rosemary will join us later!"
All the sayians then marched forward. The third class in the front, second class in the middle, first in the back along with any rebel soldiers.
"Here it is." Rio leaned Trunks up against a tree and picked a white fruit from it. "Let me see your hand Rosemary."
Rosemary gave Rio her hand and he cut her finger.
"Owe!" Rosemary pulled her hand away and glowered at Rio, "What he hell did you do that for?"
"It's part of the antidote now give me your hand." Rio demanded.
"Why couldn't you cut your own finger?" Rosemary gave Rio her hand.
"Because your finger is already cut." Rio smashed the fruit in half and put Rosemary's finger in the juice.
"Ah, Rio that stings!" Rosemary whined as her blood swirled in the bowl shaped fruit as it mixed with the juice.
"Don't be such a baby." Rio looked at her grinning and let her hand go.
Rosemary held her finger and Rio mixed around the juice.
"He's not going to drink it like one of those humans vampires, is he?" Rosemary looked at Rio.
"He has no choice." Rio gave Rosemary the bowl, "Make sure he drinks ALL of it."
Rosemary nodded and kneeled next to Trunks, she then opened Trunks' mouth and fed him the juice, when it was all gone she looked at Rio.
"Now all we can do is wait." Rio said.
Rosemary looked back at Trunks wondering why. Why did Trunks have to be so stupid as to get bitten by that piranha? She could've withstood the venomous bite, but Trunks wasn't a full blood sayian!
"Company halt!" A third class sayian marshal ordered in sayian as the sayian troops surrounded the castle. He looked around to make sure everyone was there and ordered an attack.
Second class soldiers took to the sky and started attacking form the air. Third class soldiers shot flaming bombs out of catapults at the castle while the first class soldiers hid around the castle ready to ambush any of the kings soldiers.
A whole troop of royal guards marched out and the first class chopped their heads off.
The rebel sayians were doing great until the royal guards brought on the cavalry…
"Where… where am I?" Trunks blinked.
"Trunks?!" Rosemary looked at him concerned with glassy eyes.
"What… happened?" Trunks asked.
"YOU JACKASS!" Rosemary slapped him in the face.
"Owe! Rosemary! What the hell was that for?!" Trunks geld his cheek.
"For being so damn courageous, for risking your life for me, for doing that act of stupidity and for scaring me half to death!" Rosemary shouted.
"In other words, she slapped you for being a hero, friend." Rosemary grinned crouched next to Trunks.
"Well, your welcome… I-um think." Trunks stood up.
"We better go." Rio said to the two.
Rosemary and Trunks nodded and flew off.
When they reached the battle ground they saw such disturbing sites. The royal guards were shouting what seemed to be large electric bombs at the outer sayians. The bombs would blow up electrocuting all the sayians in that area.
"That's the same thing that my father used on me!" Rosemary exclaimed.
"They're gonna pay." Rio gritted his teeth.
"I'm going to help the others load the catapults." Trunks said and flew down.
"Lets spice this up a bit." Rio grinned at Rosemary turning super sayian.
"You bet." Rosemary turned super sayian as she grinned back.
The two attacked the castle and landed on the roof.
Sarge charged at Rosemary with a knife as Rio fought with two other sayians.
"You'll die you little bastard!" He roared trying t slice her with a knife.
She jumped back and finally flipped backwards and kicked him in the face as she stood on her hands and jumped to her feet.
"Will, I should've killed you along time ago." Rosemary pointed galactic gun at Sarge and smirked as she fired.
Sarge grinned as he stood up. The blast merely bounced off him.
"What the hell?!" Rosemary stared wide-eyed.
Sarge blasted Rosemary right in the face and she flipped backwards off the roof.
"Rosemary!" Rio dived down after her.
He caught her and stopped in mid-air, "What happened?"
"He just blocked it!" Rosemary exclaimed in Rio's arms.
"Attention!" Sushi ordered her troop in sayian, "Company march!"
The third class troop marched into the mote and started to break-in through the castle by going into the dungeon.
Sushi led three troops inside, but by the time she got to the fourth one the guards had noticed and shot a bomb into the water.
Koi noticed it and shouted from the land, "Get out of the water! Get out of the water!"
The sayians saw the bomb floating in the water and started to swim out, most didn't make it. The bomb blew-up frying all the sayians in the water ten times as bad as it would have if they were on land, it lasted ten times as long as well.
When it stopped Trunks jumped into the water and started dragging the sayians out the mote with a whole bunch of others. He brought about twenty of them two the emergency truck Bulma was driving.
When about fifty were loaded on Bulma took off to get them the proper medical attention.
Poor Sushi, Trunks shook his head and ran back to the mote to help retrieve the rest.
The troops that had made it inside ambushed the guards shooting he electric bombs and slit their throats, giving the others time to fight back.
Jacko had turned super sayian and was blowing up the castle from the air. He did a good job of it too.
"Take this!" Jacko shouted blasting down a tower.
Someone tapped him in the shoulder and he turned around just to get punched in the face.
He flew back and held his now bloody nose.
"Oops, did I do that?" A royal soldier grinned.
Jacko winced at him and took good aim at the guys head. "You think because you're bigger then me you're smarter."
The royal guard didn't even notice Jacko was firing t him until his head blew up.
"But you're not." Jacko watched the soldier's decapitated body fall out of the sky.
"Jacko come!" Rosemary ordered in her super sayian mode, "I've got a plan."
All four super sayians (Trunks, Rosemary Rio, and Jacko) huddled.
"One of us will get on each side of the castle, the next bomb to hit the ground is our signal to fire." Rosemary ordered.
"But what about the people the bomb hits?" Trunks asked.
Rosemary shook her head sadly, "We can't stop them all, this is war and people are going to get hurt! We can't prevent that."
All of them nodded and got on each side of the castle. As soon as the bomb hit they did exactly what they were told. The first fifteen floors were destroyed in a flash the next three floors were beginning to be destroyed. Suddenly, a giant bomb headed right towards Rosemary.
"Rosemary look out!" Rio shouted watching it fly.
Rosemary turned taken by surprised and tried to stop it with her hands but it smashed her into the ground breaking most of her ribs.
"Get it off of you!" Trunks shouted flying over to her and trying to help her lift the bomb.
"I can't! I'm stuck!" Rosemary shouted. The bomb would explode any second now, all the soldiers nearby ran, "Get out of here!"
Before Trunks could say anything more Rosemary used the remainder of her strength to blow Trunks up into the air just as the bomb exploded.
"Rosemary!" Rio landed and started digging through the ruins.
"You idiot! Now that she's dead you want to save her!" Trunks landed yelling at Rio.
"She's not dead, can't you hear it?" Rio dug into the ground.
"What?" Trunks looked at him.
Rio looked at Trunks shocked then kept digging, "I forgot, you're not a true sayian."
"Did you find her?" Jacko landed, "That explosion was huge!"
"Help me dig her out." Rio ordered, "She's still alive!"
"How can you tell!" Trunks yelled.
"Her heartbeat," Rio kept digging, "when a sayian is in love, they can always hear their mates heartbeat…but you wouldn't understand, you're only a half breed."
Trunks gritted his teeth and pushed Rio to the side so he could help dig Rosemary out.
Suddenly Jacko looked up, "Collie."
Before explanation he flew off.
"Jacko! Jacko!" Collie yelled carrying her mother over her back and helping her dad walk by put his arm around her neck. Her left arm had been dislocated and she had scar from the right cheek right across the nose to the left cheek. "Jacko!"
Jacko land and helped Collie by taking his father. They went as fast as they could through the battle to get to Bulma's truck. So man of their troops were dying. How could they be so arrogant? How could they be so stupid? This sneak attack turned around and snuck up on them. How were they to know the king had such power?
"Retreat! Retreat!" A soldier called, then many soldiers called. They had lost, but took many of the king's troops down with them.
"I see her!" Trunks exclaimed as rebel soldiers ran by trying to get away from the castle.
"Rosemary!" Rio gasped as he saw her. She looked as though she'd been frozen to death and she jerked every time and electric charge went through her. She was too pale t be human or beast, Rio got frost bite just by touching her. He pulled her out the ditch and held her in his arms. "We need hot water! Fast!"
Trunks nodded and they raced to Collie's house.
When the three got there injured sayians were everywhere. Trunks and Rio ran up the stairs with Rosemary to the bathroom.
"How hot?" Trunks looked at Rio.
"As hot as it goes, it'll hurt her, but it's the only way!" Rio said.
Trunks nodded and turned the hot water on. As the tub filled Rio put towels around Rosemary and held her tight to try and keep her warm.
"So… c-cold." Rosemary shivered and dug her head into Rio's shoulder.
Rio looked at her concerned then shot a glance at Trunks, "Is it done yet?!"
"Yeah." Trunks turned off the water.
"I'm sorry Rosemary." Rio whispered right before dumping her right in the water.
Rosemary's eyes widened as she let out a deafening scream. Rio and Trunks covered there ears as glass shattered all around them.
The scream was heard throughout the whole kingdom.
"What the…?" Bulma stopped short as the glass and mirrors on her truck shatter, "Agh! What's that?!"
She covered her ears. The people in the back of the truck revived angrily.
All the sayians near by dropped to their knees and covered their ears.
In the reviving tanks (you know those things filled with water that Vegeta and Goku went into after they got beat up) that held the injured sayians all broke and all the hut sayians poured out onto the ground.
"What… What's going on?" Sushi opened her eyes drowsily.
Collie covered her ears as she ran in with her family.
It wasn't just Rosemary's scream that was so strong it was her sheer power that was being lifted from the burning pain. Her silver armour turned red and the towels round her burned through. She made the bath boil and the steam become stronger. Finally, she was at peace.
"Are you okay, now?" Trunks asked kneeling next to her.
"No…" Rosemary shook her head, it looked as though she were going to cry, "My ribs hurt so bad, I can't move right."
With all the blood that had washed off Rosemary the water turned dark red.
"It's okay." Rio patted her head, "we'll get you too a doctor as soon as your blood pressure is back to normal.
"I want to go now." Rosemary looked at him firmly.
"Or we'll go now." Rio nodded and looked at Trunks, "Get some towels and a blanket--- a very big blanket."
Trunks nodded and did what he was told.
"Did you hear her?" Sarge grinned at the king, referring to Rosemary.
"That I did." The king nodded, "With this power, those rebels will now who is their supreme ruler once again. I am unstoppable."
***NOTES*** You by now have noticed I really don't care for fixing typos, SORRY! Deal with it ^_^
.:: Under Siege ::.
Rosemary was saddened to waken in a position of certain solitude. Where was the rock hard body that had kept her safe and warm last night?
"Rio?" Rosemary called out getting up and rubbing her eyes. When there was no answer she called out even louder, "Rio?!"
"Up here Rosemary!" Rio called back from outside the hide-out.
"Oh, okay." Rosemary laid down again to go to sleep.
"Rosemary! Are you getting ready down there?" Rio asked.
"No, I'm sleeping." Rosemary muttered.
"Well, get up. We have to get an early start so that we can lead the first troops."
"Alright, alright." Rosemary got up and stretched. The armor was right next to her all ready to put on.

"Yep."
"Not fair."
"What, you'd rather have the villages be colour coded again? In that case you should be wearing pink."

"Thought so." Rio smirked, "Ready to go?"
"All ready." Rosemary grinned nodding.
"Let's go." Rio said and flew off.
"Hey wait for me!" Rosemary flew after him.
They headed to the Vegeta-sei lake where all the sayians were meeting.
As Rosemary and Rio flew over Collie's house, Bulma came out the house.

Jacko turned red with anger and started shouting curses, "You dragged me outta bed dammit! Here I was resting in my bed and you have to be a stupid ass and drag me down the damn stairs! This could be the last time I ever get to sleep you bitch!"

"Stay out of this woman! This doesn't concern you!" Vegeta yelled at Bulma.
"Like hell it does!" Bulma shouted right back, "Are you forcing my son to get married?! He's only 21 Vegeta! He has plenty of time!"
"Will you just stay out of this woman!" Vegeta shouted.
"NO!!! And my name is NOT WOMAN! It's BULMA, BULMA, BULMA! How the hell is that so hard to remember!" Bulma screeched.
Vegeta snorted and left to the lake.
"And Bulma wins again." Bulma smiled and looked at Trunks, "What was he talking to you about?"
"He wants Rosemary to be my uh… mate." Trunks stared wide-eyed down the steps into nowhere.

Rio blew it's head off and Rosemary tossed the creature into the water. Meanwhile, Vegeta was beating the crap out of two other sea-creatures.
Rio and Rosemary landed as more creatures came up from the water.
"Damn those piranhas!" Rosemary cursed.
"Why'd you go and have to wake'em up! Now they're after us!" Rio shouted.
"Nobody told you to follow me!" Rosemary shouted back.
"I swore I'd protect you and I can't exactly do that when I don't know where you are!"
"I was underwater! What more do you need to know!" Rosemary snapped.
Trunks saw one of the creatures go after Rosemary and shouted, "Hey! Look out!"
"Huh?" Rosemary turned around and suddenly Trunks pushed Rosemary out the way making the piranha bite him instead of her. He dropped to the ground immediately starting to sweat.
"Trunks! You idiot! Why did you do that?! I could've got out the way! Why'd you let it bite you!" Rosemary shouted kneeling next to Trunks. "Do you know what's going to happen to you know?! It's poison's gonna kill you and there's no antidote!"
Trunks smirked and passed out.
"Trunks!" Rosemary shook him, "You can't die! Not before the battle! Not like this! Not like this!!!"
Rio gritted his teeth at seeing Rosemary so upset, he looked at the piranha creeping up behind Rosemary and blew it up. He turned to the crowd, "You wanna battle, right? Well, how 'bout a practice battle to get us ready!"
"Yeah!" All the sayians cheered and attacked the creatures coming out the lake.
"C'mon, follow me." Rio picked Trunks up and looked at Rosemary.
Rosemary looked at him dumbfounded.
"Do you want to save your friend or not!" Rio said firmly.
Rosemary nodded and got up.
"Follow me." Rio started flying and Rosemary flew after him.
"Where are we going?" She asked along the way.
"It's a lie." Rio said.
"What's a lie?" Rosemary tried to keep up.
"There is an antidote." Rio said, "The king would put out those things if there wasn't an antidote. It's just that, only him and his men know it."
Rosemary grinned happily, "Really?!"
"Yep." Rio nodded grinning.
"Hey wait a minute, why are you doing this?" Rosemary looked at him.
Rio smirked, "I hate to see you unhappy."
Rosemary blushed and looked away.
"We got'em all!" Jacko cheered jumping up with a fist in the air and all the sayians cheered.
"Hey," Sushi looked up, "Hey everyone!"
Everyone looked at her.
"Those mutant piranhas were as well from the mote surrounding the castle! So that means we can attack in the water!"
All the sayians cheered again and one yelled, "This may very well be our very last battle!"
"Yeah!" All the sayians cheered once again.
"Onward all you scavengers!" Ika ordered, "Princess Rosemary will join us later!"
All the sayians then marched forward. The third class in the front, second class in the middle, first in the back along with any rebel soldiers.
"Here it is." Rio leaned Trunks up against a tree and picked a white fruit from it. "Let me see your hand Rosemary."
Rosemary gave Rio her hand and he cut her finger.
"Owe!" Rosemary pulled her hand away and glowered at Rio, "What he hell did you do that for?"
"It's part of the antidote now give me your hand." Rio demanded.
"Why couldn't you cut your own finger?" Rosemary gave Rio her hand.
"Because your finger is already cut." Rio smashed the fruit in half and put Rosemary's finger in the juice.
"Ah, Rio that stings!" Rosemary whined as her blood swirled in the bowl shaped fruit as it mixed with the juice.
"Don't be such a baby." Rio looked at her grinning and let her hand go.
Rosemary held her finger and Rio mixed around the juice.
"He's not going to drink it like one of those humans vampires, is he?" Rosemary looked at Rio.
"He has no choice." Rio gave Rosemary the bowl, "Make sure he drinks ALL of it."
Rosemary nodded and kneeled next to Trunks, she then opened Trunks' mouth and fed him the juice, when it was all gone she looked at Rio.
"Now all we can do is wait." Rio said.
Rosemary looked back at Trunks wondering why. Why did Trunks have to be so stupid as to get bitten by that piranha? She could've withstood the venomous bite, but Trunks wasn't a full blood sayian!
"Company halt!" A third class sayian marshal ordered in sayian as the sayian troops surrounded the castle. He looked around to make sure everyone was there and ordered an attack.
Second class soldiers took to the sky and started attacking form the air. Third class soldiers shot flaming bombs out of catapults at the castle while the first class soldiers hid around the castle ready to ambush any of the kings soldiers.
A whole troop of royal guards marched out and the first class chopped their heads off.
The rebel sayians were doing great until the royal guards brought on the cavalry…
"Where… where am I?" Trunks blinked.
"Trunks?!" Rosemary looked at him concerned with glassy eyes.
"What… happened?" Trunks asked.
"YOU JACKASS!" Rosemary slapped him in the face.
"Owe! Rosemary! What the hell was that for?!" Trunks geld his cheek.
"For being so damn courageous, for risking your life for me, for doing that act of stupidity and for scaring me half to death!" Rosemary shouted.
"In other words, she slapped you for being a hero, friend." Rosemary grinned crouched next to Trunks.
"Well, your welcome… I-um think." Trunks stood up.
"We better go." Rio said to the two.
Rosemary and Trunks nodded and flew off.
When they reached the battle ground they saw such disturbing sites. The royal guards were shouting what seemed to be large electric bombs at the outer sayians. The bombs would blow up electrocuting all the sayians in that area.
"That's the same thing that my father used on me!" Rosemary exclaimed.
"They're gonna pay." Rio gritted his teeth.
"I'm going to help the others load the catapults." Trunks said and flew down.
"Lets spice this up a bit." Rio grinned at Rosemary turning super sayian.
"You bet." Rosemary turned super sayian as she grinned back.
The two attacked the castle and landed on the roof.
Sarge charged at Rosemary with a knife as Rio fought with two other sayians.
"You'll die you little bastard!" He roared trying t slice her with a knife.
She jumped back and finally flipped backwards and kicked him in the face as she stood on her hands and jumped to her feet.
"Will, I should've killed you along time ago." Rosemary pointed galactic gun at Sarge and smirked as she fired.
Sarge grinned as he stood up. The blast merely bounced off him.
"What the hell?!" Rosemary stared wide-eyed.
Sarge blasted Rosemary right in the face and she flipped backwards off the roof.
"Rosemary!" Rio dived down after her.
He caught her and stopped in mid-air, "What happened?"
"He just blocked it!" Rosemary exclaimed in Rio's arms.
"Attention!" Sushi ordered her troop in sayian, "Company march!"
The third class troop marched into the mote and started to break-in through the castle by going into the dungeon.
Sushi led three troops inside, but by the time she got to the fourth one the guards had noticed and shot a bomb into the water.
Koi noticed it and shouted from the land, "Get out of the water! Get out of the water!"
The sayians saw the bomb floating in the water and started to swim out, most didn't make it. The bomb blew-up frying all the sayians in the water ten times as bad as it would have if they were on land, it lasted ten times as long as well.
When it stopped Trunks jumped into the water and started dragging the sayians out the mote with a whole bunch of others. He brought about twenty of them two the emergency truck Bulma was driving.
When about fifty were loaded on Bulma took off to get them the proper medical attention.
Poor Sushi, Trunks shook his head and ran back to the mote to help retrieve the rest.
The troops that had made it inside ambushed the guards shooting he electric bombs and slit their throats, giving the others time to fight back.
Jacko had turned super sayian and was blowing up the castle from the air. He did a good job of it too.
"Take this!" Jacko shouted blasting down a tower.
Someone tapped him in the shoulder and he turned around just to get punched in the face.
He flew back and held his now bloody nose.
"Oops, did I do that?" A royal soldier grinned.
Jacko winced at him and took good aim at the guys head. "You think because you're bigger then me you're smarter."
The royal guard didn't even notice Jacko was firing t him until his head blew up.
"But you're not." Jacko watched the soldier's decapitated body fall out of the sky.
"Jacko come!" Rosemary ordered in her super sayian mode, "I've got a plan."
All four super sayians (Trunks, Rosemary Rio, and Jacko) huddled.
"One of us will get on each side of the castle, the next bomb to hit the ground is our signal to fire." Rosemary ordered.
"But what about the people the bomb hits?" Trunks asked.
Rosemary shook her head sadly, "We can't stop them all, this is war and people are going to get hurt! We can't prevent that."
All of them nodded and got on each side of the castle. As soon as the bomb hit they did exactly what they were told. The first fifteen floors were destroyed in a flash the next three floors were beginning to be destroyed. Suddenly, a giant bomb headed right towards Rosemary.
"Rosemary look out!" Rio shouted watching it fly.
Rosemary turned taken by surprised and tried to stop it with her hands but it smashed her into the ground breaking most of her ribs.
"Get it off of you!" Trunks shouted flying over to her and trying to help her lift the bomb.
"I can't! I'm stuck!" Rosemary shouted. The bomb would explode any second now, all the soldiers nearby ran, "Get out of here!"
Before Trunks could say anything more Rosemary used the remainder of her strength to blow Trunks up into the air just as the bomb exploded.
"Rosemary!" Rio landed and started digging through the ruins.
"You idiot! Now that she's dead you want to save her!" Trunks landed yelling at Rio.
"She's not dead, can't you hear it?" Rio dug into the ground.
"What?" Trunks looked at him.
Rio looked at Trunks shocked then kept digging, "I forgot, you're not a true sayian."
"Did you find her?" Jacko landed, "That explosion was huge!"
"Help me dig her out." Rio ordered, "She's still alive!"
"How can you tell!" Trunks yelled.
"Her heartbeat," Rio kept digging, "when a sayian is in love, they can always hear their mates heartbeat…but you wouldn't understand, you're only a half breed."
Trunks gritted his teeth and pushed Rio to the side so he could help dig Rosemary out.
Suddenly Jacko looked up, "Collie."
Before explanation he flew off.
"Jacko! Jacko!" Collie yelled carrying her mother over her back and helping her dad walk by put his arm around her neck. Her left arm had been dislocated and she had scar from the right cheek right across the nose to the left cheek. "Jacko!"
Jacko land and helped Collie by taking his father. They went as fast as they could through the battle to get to Bulma's truck. So man of their troops were dying. How could they be so arrogant? How could they be so stupid? This sneak attack turned around and snuck up on them. How were they to know the king had such power?
"Retreat! Retreat!" A soldier called, then many soldiers called. They had lost, but took many of the king's troops down with them.
"I see her!" Trunks exclaimed as rebel soldiers ran by trying to get away from the castle.
"Rosemary!" Rio gasped as he saw her. She looked as though she'd been frozen to death and she jerked every time and electric charge went through her. She was too pale t be human or beast, Rio got frost bite just by touching her. He pulled her out the ditch and held her in his arms. "We need hot water! Fast!"
Trunks nodded and they raced to Collie's house.
When the three got there injured sayians were everywhere. Trunks and Rio ran up the stairs with Rosemary to the bathroom.
"How hot?" Trunks looked at Rio.
"As hot as it goes, it'll hurt her, but it's the only way!" Rio said.
Trunks nodded and turned the hot water on. As the tub filled Rio put towels around Rosemary and held her tight to try and keep her warm.
"So… c-cold." Rosemary shivered and dug her head into Rio's shoulder.
Rio looked at her concerned then shot a glance at Trunks, "Is it done yet?!"
"Yeah." Trunks turned off the water.
"I'm sorry Rosemary." Rio whispered right before dumping her right in the water.
Rosemary's eyes widened as she let out a deafening scream. Rio and Trunks covered there ears as glass shattered all around them.
The scream was heard throughout the whole kingdom.
"What the…?" Bulma stopped short as the glass and mirrors on her truck shatter, "Agh! What's that?!"
She covered her ears. The people in the back of the truck revived angrily.
All the sayians near by dropped to their knees and covered their ears.
In the reviving tanks (you know those things filled with water that Vegeta and Goku went into after they got beat up) that held the injured sayians all broke and all the hut sayians poured out onto the ground.
"What… What's going on?" Sushi opened her eyes drowsily.
Collie covered her ears as she ran in with her family.
It wasn't just Rosemary's scream that was so strong it was her sheer power that was being lifted from the burning pain. Her silver armour turned red and the towels round her burned through. She made the bath boil and the steam become stronger. Finally, she was at peace.
"Are you okay, now?" Trunks asked kneeling next to her.
"No…" Rosemary shook her head, it looked as though she were going to cry, "My ribs hurt so bad, I can't move right."
With all the blood that had washed off Rosemary the water turned dark red.
"It's okay." Rio patted her head, "we'll get you too a doctor as soon as your blood pressure is back to normal.
"I want to go now." Rosemary looked at him firmly.
"Or we'll go now." Rio nodded and looked at Trunks, "Get some towels and a blanket--- a very big blanket."
Trunks nodded and did what he was told.
"Did you hear her?" Sarge grinned at the king, referring to Rosemary.
"That I did." The king nodded, "With this power, those rebels will now who is their supreme ruler once again. I am unstoppable."
