Dum...da-dum...da-dum... Niy's heart beat again, but something was changed. Sure she still had skin- she could feel the dryness of it itch. She still had muscles- they spasmed out of control when they started to receive oxygen again. She still had her mind- over and over again she felt herself drowning, felt herself not understanding, felt herself drift into death uncontrollably. Inside, her body, her mind, and her soul shivered simultaneously in fear and dread as she anticipated and re-lived each memory of death again and again. As she breathed the memory seemed clearer, more painful, more real until she opened her eyes, moaned with pain, and realized, "By Kami, it was real."
She checked her exhausted limbs and was met with a biting pain that gnawed on her nerves to no end. Niy bit her tongue so hard it bled and its salty taste rotted in her teeth. She spat out the grotesque taste and checked for her ki, the only real reason she bothered to keep herself alive. It responded with a biting cold, a pointed frost that clung and instantaneously took her over. Where her ki had once warmed, reassured, and comforted her, it now chilled, frightened, and overtook her. She lifted her face from the sand just enough to see the glowing white aura around her body pierce its light into her eye. She snarled as the brightness pained her and felt hopeless as her ki continued to grow without a will, a reason, or a hope.
Niy looked up at the sky above her and watched a black bead darken into a form of formidable weight. Goku placed a firm hand on her shoulder.
"Enough is enough, I don't know who you are but please calm down, you're not in any danger," the Saiyan said.
Niy closed her eyes and breathed shakily, but more slowly in and out. Hesitantly, she reached for Goku's arm for support as she mentally suppressed the icy tendrils of her new ki.
"She don't look half bad," Master Roshi said, giddy.
Niy jerked her head up at him in a snarl, causing her to lose her balance again. Goku swiftly caught her and helped her to right herself. It was then he noticed her hard and cold blue eyes.
"You have the eyes of an android," Goku said surprised. He then furrowed his eyebrows deeper into his skin and twisted his hands tighter and harder around Niy's wrists. "You better explain yourself right now."
Niy bared her fangs at Goku and yanked her wrists back out of his grip, surprising Goku with her act of strength.
"I am NOT an android," Niy hissed. "And I did not come so close to death just to be subjected by you." Niy rubbed her wrists from where Goku's hands had clenched them. Her blue eyes slid over to focus on the old man in front of her. Her Namekian eyebrow bulges narrowed as she said, "And you are a pervert, old man."
Master Roshi paled as he realized she knew what he was thinking. He backed away from the new visitor to his island, choosing to hide behind a palm tree for safety.
Niy switched her gaze back to Goku again. She smirked and said quietly, "You know, I was created to kill you Goku."
Goku crossed his arms and smirked back at her. "Somehow I'm not surprised. You androids are all the same," he replied.
Niy's eyes flashed with anger and a vein started to bulge from her head.
"Listen, and listen well Spawn of the Saiyans- I am NOT an android, never was, never will be. Of that you can be certain."
"The only thing I'm certain about is that you're some freak of nature, literally," said a gruff voice from above. Piccolo, The Namek, quickly entered the scene with a cloud of dust and the thump of his weight hitting the sand.
