24 Final Showdown
We showed up right in front of Karista and my kids. She looked surprised to say the least. My children immediately began to struggle against her hold.
"So you found me, human. I guess you just feel like dieing today." She taunted me. "Guards, attack!" Her Tenque guards ran towards Vegeta and me.
I was tired of it all. "NO!" I shouted, holding my hand up, palm out. The Tenques immediately fell backwards, stunned. Vegeta looked surprised.
"Where did you learn that, brat?" he asked.
"I picked it up. That's not the issue right now Vegeta. If you could be so kind as to finish off the guards, I'll take care of Karista." He nodded. For a moment, I felt sorry for the guards. Then I got over it and faced my ultimate opponent.
She looked at me. "You wouldn't dare fire at me, bitch. I have your precious children. If you hit me, you might hit them and that would look bad on your mother resume, now wouldn't it?" she smirked.
Purinsesu and Yuushi looked at her, hate emanating from their eyes. Using that psychic link twins have, they both shouted "DON'T TALK TO OUR MOTHER LIKE THAT!" and fired ki blasts at her. They hit her directly in the eyes. While she was momentarily blinded, they ran to me. I knelt down and held them close.
"Mommy! We missed you so bad! She was mean!" Puri said
"Mommy, where's Daddy? Didn't he want to save us?" Yuushi asked. I felt tears rise in my eyes as I looked at those small faces that were so much like Goten, and yet so much like me. How could I tell them that their daddy and everyone else were dead?
"He couldn't get here, babies. But he fought so hard to get to you." Suddenly I felt a ki shoot up. It was Karista, and she was pissed. Vegeta, done with the guards, came and stood behind me.
"Come, Liz. Let us finish her." He said. I realized that was the first time he had called me by my name.
"No, she's mine. Guard the kids." Then the final showdown began.
"So human, are you ready to die?" Karista snarled.
"You've threatened me too many times. And I'm not human, I AM A SAIYAN!" With that, I transformed. I reached deep down and pulled up energy I didn't even know I had. I literally had energy crackling between my fingers.
I blasted an energy beam at her, which she blocked easily. Then she shot one at me. It hit my shoulder, scorching through the fabric and burning the skin. I hissed. Pulling my arms back, I threw an attack at her.
"KAMEHAMEHA!" It hurt her full on the chest and she went flying backwards. Before I knew what had happened, she had shot one back at me. I flipped backwards, avoiding the blast. I flew at her, shooting small ki balls at her to distract her. I punched her violently on the face, stomach, and chest. She blocked some and threw some back. I did a reverse hook kick and hit her square in the head. She reeled back, bleeding from her lip. She licked her lips, tasting the blood.
"So, human, first blood is yours. To bad last blood will be mine!" Then she attacked. Not since my battle with Vegeta had anyone gone after me so hard. And she was much stronger that Vegeta. We sparred for a long time, shooting each other whenever we had the chance. We were both bruised, bleeding, and pissed beyond belief.
She shot an exceptionally strong blast at me and I went flying into the side of the ship. I looked up and saw her standing over me. "Looks like you're down, human, and that the galaxy will be mine!" she lifted her hands, preparing to kill me when I heard "FINAL FLASH!" and saw an enormous energy beam hit her. Vegeta. I had forgotten he and the kids were still there. I sat up and saw him fighting her now.
My children stayed where they were, too afraid to move. My heart was breaking that I couldn't go to them, but I couldn't move at all. I watched Vegeta fight. He was losing, badly. As strong as he was, she was stronger. She shot a beam at him, and he came flying towards me. He hit the wall about three feet from me and hit the deck, unconscious. Karista sauntered up to the two of us.
"Hm. I expected more. Well, I guess the children are mine now. Bye bye!" I closed my eyes. Goten, I'm coming. Shin, I'm so sorry… I thought to myself, waiting for the death blow. Strangely, it didn't come. I opened my eyes to see something amazing.
My children were standing there, transformed, radiating more energy than I've ever felt before, from anyone.
"You hurt Mommy and Daddy and Uncle Vegeta!" Puri yelled.
"And you took us away!" Yuushi hollered.
I couldn't believe my eyes. My children were going to fight her?!? They were only five years old! I felt something drop into my hand. I looked over. Vegeta was awake and had out the senzu beans. I quickly ate mine, hoping to be able to save my children.
I stood up and took two steps towards my children when it happened. Together, they yelled "DOUBLE TWIN ATTACK!" and shot Karista. The entire ship was enveloped in a blinding light from my kids. I heard screaming, from both my children and Karista. I could not see a thing. The light stayed, blinding, for several minutes, the escalated briefly and disappeared. When I opened my eyes, Karista was gone. Not a single trace of her anywhere. My children were lying on the deck, not moving. I stared wide-eyed for a minute, and the dashed over to my kids. They were alive, but just barely.
"Vegeta, do we have anymore senzu beans?" I asked.
"Only one." Vegeta said. I nodded. I took the bean and broke it in half. It would be enough to keep my children from dying. I fed them the bean. Slowly, they blinked and sat up.
Puri was the first to speak. "Is it over, Mommy?"
Yuushi was next. "Can we go home now?"
I pulled them close. "Yes, darlings. Yes."
