Durn's Hatred

Pain surged its way up my arm as I punched the ground for the fourth time. After all the Shards I'd wiped out I was being assigned a task other than guard duty. As soon as I realised that this would mean I could aimlessly wander the town killing anyone who wasn't human or Saiyan I had flipped into a sudden rage. My left hand had started to bleed again as I hit the floor for the fifth time. I reported to my senior to receive my new orders.

"Durn reporting Sir" I gave my usual salute and tried not to look to insulting.

"Hello Durn." He eyed me up and down. I had to withhold a giggle because I knew I could kill him, but he didn't. "Okay, your orders…" He shuffled through some papers on his desk. "Ahh, here we go, you've been assigned to guard one of the Saiyans in the new royal family."

"You are joking right? I'm a warrior, I'm not here to baby-sit." I scowled at him and he scowled back.

"Look Durn, you can either take the assignment and guard the Prince's daughter or you can quit the military. It's your choice"

"I'll take the assignment" I should have killed him there and then, if he wasn't a Saiyan and my superior I would have killed him where he sat.

"Good, you can pick her up outside, her name is Aliah."

"Alright"



I walked out to the front of the palace and looked around. Saiyans where walking around the streets getting on with their lives. Then, leaning against one pillar was 1 female Saiyan in particular. She was short, with purple hair and beautiful eyes. For some reason I knew this was not the average Saiyan female.

"Are you Aliah?" I decided I'd just shout it.

"Uh huh"

"I've been assigned to make sure you don't die or anything." Something told me that wasn't as polite as it should have been. She didn't answer, so I decided to ask another question. "Where are you planning on going today?"

"The pub" Interesting, this seemed like my kind of female, but I couldn't let that distract me. I had to cast these sorts of thoughts immediately out of my head. Besides, I couldn't risk her getting killed.

"Then let's go already" I had to act cold. I had no other choice.



We were on the way to the pub and were just about to walk in the door when something distracted her. She seemed easily distracted by things. I found this curious; I'd never met a Saiyan that was interested in so many things. She wandered over to whatever she'd seen and I followed behind, grudgingly. I wanted a beer, it'd been a long day.

"Are you Okay?" She spoke quietly and softly. I had no clue who she was talking to, so I walked closer and saw exactly what she what she was speaking at.

"Aliah, back away from it" I could hardly believe it, she was talking to an injured Shard.

"No, this person needs help"

"It needs to be destroyed" I raised my hand to Ki blast But she stepped in the way.

"I won't let you kill him" Why on Earth was she doing this? I couldn't understand.

"Aliah, just step out the way and it'll be over quickly." It was happening again. Just like what happened to my brother, but I would not die for a Shard. Not like him, I had vengeance to carry out.

"No, You stop" She stepped forward and grabbed my hands. It was surprising how strong she was, considering she was female. I tried to lift my hands, but for some reason did not use my whole strength. I didn't need this right now, here I was, trying to kill a Shardrac and my hormones were telling me not to just move the female out of the way. Perfect. I watched the Shard draw its gun and step to its feet. I side stepped out of Aliah's grip and formed my hands to blast him into a million pieces. Once again she stepped in front of me, but I couldn't bring myself to shoot through her. I was in for some serious thinking after this was done. I had to do something; he could kill her with that weapon. I upper-cutted her face sending her backward and Ki blasted at the Shard. The little rat just dodged and at the same time shot Aliah in the chest, before running off.

"BASTARD!"

I could have wiped out everyone in sight, but I didn't know why. It was just like my brother, I'd made all the wrong decisions and someone I… I had to cast these thoughts away. I was assigned to guard her, she could be nothing more. I picked her injured body up and ran off to find a healer.
