The Last Warrior
Chapter 13:Emotions vs. Instincts
They all walked quietly into the main entrance, the guards hadn't been a problem. The main door was closed and appeared to be locked with a secret passcode.
"Shall we knock?" Eve said.
"Allow me." Slade said. He stuck both hands straight out in front of him. Then, he began move them around very fast in a complicated motion. Finally, he stopped and put his hands back in front of him and blasted the door open. In the rush to get inside, Slade thought he heard Aiden mutter to him "show-off".
The base was taken easy enough. The men were brought outside and the base was destroyed. Slade then went into his speech about joining their team. Only one person decided to join. One of Kane's generals, a human man named Alex. Alex explained privately to Slade that he joined Kane's army so that he might have a chance to get close enough to kill him for what he's done, but that he felt he'd have a better chance with the Z Warriors. Slade welcomed him and just as they were about to leave, one of the soldiers spoke up.
"You had better get away from here monkey! You, your team, and those traitors will all be destroyed by Master Kane. There is no way you can beat him you stupid ape!" Then he began a huge, wide-mouth laugh. Everyone turned to Slade, except he had moved, he was now in front of the soldier with his finger in the man's wide open mouth.
"Open wide." Slade said. He then fired a power beam that went straight through the soldiers head, killing him. Everyone was compleately shocked, everyone except Alex.
"That idiot was always shootin' off his mouth." He told Slade.
"Well now he got shot in his mouth." Slade said coldly. "Let's go."
No one said anything on the way back to the base except for people explaining to Alex what being a member of the Z Warriors entailed, and about how Slade promised them all what would happen if someone was caught betraying the team. Alex said that he was starting to like Slade.
Back at the base, everyone went out to talk about the days job. Slade went back to his room. A few hours later, Eve came in.
"Well?" She said.
"Well what?" Slade asked.
"You know what I mean." She said angrily.
"You want to know why I killed that guy."
"Yes."
"He asked for it."
"But did you have to kill him?"
"No, but I wanted to."
"So you do what you want is that it?"
"You wouldn't understand the real reason."
"Oh wouldn't I?"
"Probably not."
"Well the others are just as shocked as I am that you killed that guy. Although some, like Guldan and Alex, are merely amazed that you had the guts to do it."
"So they all don't get it either then huh?
"I guess not."
"I expected as much. I guess my Saiyan side was just overzelous."
"Slade," She put her hand on his face. "Part of you is Saiyan, but don't forget the part that's human, OK?" She turned and walked out of the room.
Slade stood thinking for a long time. After a while, a large grin came on his face.
"Damn you Eve." He said to himself, still smiling.
Slade walked into the social room, nobody noticed him until he cleared his throat.
They watched him as nothing had ever happend. Nobody even mentioned the dead soldier until Slade asked them all,
"How many of you think that I shouldn't have killed that guy?" Almost everybody raised their hand.
"Alright, let me ask you this. How many of you would have done the same thing?" Guldan, Alex, and Nax raised their hands.
"Well let me tell you all the reason I did. That guy said some stuff. Stuff that I was tired of hearing. Monkey, Ape, Kane's gonna kill me. I just figured if I shut him up, that would shut them all up. Only time will tell if I'm right. But I've had to listen to that bullshit for a year and a half, and like I said, I was just sick of it. So I'll ask you again, how many of you would have done the same thing?"
Everyone raised their hand.
