CHAPTER 7 THE PURGE

745 A.D.



Log 123, Day 342 Beginning Entry



Today I feel dead. I feel like my insides have melted and that my soul has been ripped from my chest. Without these body systems, how is it possible I live? How can I live without a soul or a hint of feeling in me? How can he not look at me and not feel my pain? I don't understand how somebody can just break somebody down so bad and pretend everything will be smooth. How can HE just torment me with his sick twisted words and poison my ears until total deafness? I think it is so malicious and cruel.but I can do nothing to stop it. Maybe I want it to go on and on in my head until the raining of voices and images goes away. This seething pain could squeeze them out until my mind cannot think at all. To be mindless, like a savage. Maybe I am losing my mind. I am losing my body it seems. I feel sluggish and unable to move parts of my body. My speed has slowed down so bad that even Radditz can land a good blast. This disappoints Frieza but let the bastard get pissed. What can he do that he hasn't already done? Gods, its so hard to breathe when there is so much pressure on my lungs and my chest. My pale hands are warm yet numb. They tremble ever so slightly. They have started that lately, especially after I use energy blasts. I feel disgusted and so lame. Nothing feels real. I feel like I am slipping away into this hole of blackness. (Slight rustling noise and voices in background) Well, apparently lord Frieza wants the Saiyins to leave on a purge for Zestia. I have heard of it before from Araro. It is a petty little refugee planet swarming with orphans and forgotten men. Old fighters and pilots mainly. This will be my first purge. I am filling with this feeling of bloodlust that is making my body lighter and jerkier. I cannot do this. I cannot do this. I want to die. I want to die so much. (Light sob and deep gasp, female voice cracking) I am so depressed but I don't want to feel. I don't want to feel these feelings anymore and never again. They won't go. I try to push it down but it relives itself in my fears and worries. Death is breathing down my neck and choking me so I can't breathe Life anymore. I feel I am supposed to bear these burdens and experience these crises but why? Who Am I? Let me fall; let me fall.until next time. I have a purge to do.

The cold darkness of space wrapped the little space pod in a blanket of black tranquility. As the little pod passed a gleaming bright comet, a glimmer of orange light radiated and lit up the inside of the pod with the sleeping figure inside. The lit silhouette of the sleeping figure was etched with bright furious colors and brought it to life. The light crawled onto the figure's gloved arms that were crossed over its chest. The pale white tunic of the warrior came to a jagged upside down triangle between its legs. The brightly polished shine of the white boots twinkled under the light. The light stretched towards the warrior's pale throat that was half hidden by its blue collar. Strands of honey colored hair blew in front of the illuminated face and landed on the pale full lips of the figure. The figure, a female, looked not much like a warrior with her thin body and calm expression etched on her face. The closed lids vibrated while the woman dreamt in her sleep. Her lips began to twitch and her soft expression changed from sleeping angel to a tortured devil's. Her eyes suddenly snapped open. "Disengaging from still animation and isolating sleeping gas. Awake, warrior." The computer echoed in the pod as the gases shut off.

Suddenly a piercing voice from the intercom rang out. "Wake up. We are 5 minutes from our destination of planet Zestia and I want all of you pathetic excuses of Saiyins ready for landing. Understood? Prince Vegeta out." Merilyn blinked her eyes again and used her right hand to wipe the sleep from her eyes. She used the other to type in the commands for her computer. After a deep yawn and an observation of her surroundings, Merilyn faced front and smirked to herself. She closed her eyes and braced for impact. The impact was colossal as the small pod slammed into the surface of Zestia. Dirt and small plants were strewn about while the pod dug into the ground like a plow. Not too long after the impact, the pod door hissed open as a figure emerged. The dust created a dense fog that surrounded the pod and its inhabitant. A soft blue light emerged form the fog and disintegrated it quickly. Merilyn sat in her pod calmly with her glowing blue hand extended outside the pod. After a few minutes of quick observation, Merilyn slowly exited the pod and stood in a fighting stance. Her arms were by her sides, her fists clenched, while her legs were spread apart and her feet dug in the ground. Strange little planet this is. I see only dust and soil everywhere yet I smell oil of some sort, thought Merilyn to herself. She braced herself upon hearing her companions impact the planet also. "Are you just going to stand there and look stupid or are you going to join the rest of us?!" came a high-pitched voice full of irritation. Merilyn didn't have to look up to recognize the voice's owner. Prince Vegeta hovered in the air about ten feet above her with his arms crossed over his armored chest. Nappa, Radditz, and Shain were also hovering near him with grim looks. Their tails swished with wariness and hunger. Merilyn sighed and took a deep breath. Her feet left the ground as she quickly joined the others. Prince Vegeta only scowled at her then turned away from the group.

Prince Vegeta smirked to himself and turned away from the pathetic excuses of Saiyins near him. Why did he have to endure such embarrassment? He sighed then pressed his scouter and awaited its results. The whizzes and beeps of the machine finally ended after a few seconds. Vegeta narrowed his eyes and grunted with amusement. "Interesting. Very interesting," mused Vegeta while crossing his arms once more. "What is interesting, my prince?" asked Nappa with light concern. He glanced to Radditz and Shain with confusion written on his face. "Are the power readings high or low? Are there any cities here to crush, my prince?" growled Radditz with excitement. He pounded his fist onto his other hand to further exaggerate his craving of destruction, receiving chuckles from the others. Vegeta only scowled and looked past them into the gray horizon. "You are only half right, dear Radditz. It seems we will have to turn Oozaru with some of these inhabitants because I picked up a reading of roughly 5,000 and another of about 20,000. They are much too strong for you, Radditz"-he looked at Nappa expectantly-"and you Nappa." Vegeta ignored Nappa's protest and looked over at Merilyn. His lips turned into a gleaming smirk as he flashed his fangs. This little one had better do her job or else I will get the heat for it, thought Vegeta with fading anxiety before chuckling lightly to himself. As if Freeza could do much damage to me .I am the Prince of all Saiyins. No one can destroy me. Vegeta shook his mane of hair and glanced at Nappa with annoyance. "Shut it, Nappa! There is a city nearby that you can take your anger out at. Just don't get cocky. There IS a high power reading around here and I WILL find it. Nappa, you take Shain with you. Radditz, you get the girl over there. I've paired you into twos, with one strong fighter and one weakling. We'll flank the city and take it down. I want to find that high power reading. Got it?" Vegeta received nods and growls from the others before powering up. "Lets head out!" he screamed before blasting off. He cocked his ear to hear the other's following then sped up. Deep inside the heart of the shady city, and in the musty spaceport bar, a group of rough-looking men sat hunched at a table. Smoke and dust littered the air anew as each man held in their hands a set of cards. Eyes were narrowed and creases present in every forehead as they looked on at the young man seated at the head. The men didn't know if it was his pale luminescent skin reflected under the light or his closed eyelids that intimidated them but it was something about the young man. A light breeze of air whipped through the bar and swept the man's lush locks of silver hair off his shoulders. The man smiled enigmatically then opened his eyes slowly. The men were too mesmerized by his crystal eyes to realize they had lost the game of space poker. The man's soft deep voice rang out suddenly. "I believe this round is mine. Now if you'd do me the pleasure of handing over your credits and zeni. Thank you." One of the men, a man with a patch over his eye and spiky green hair, growled and pulled out a pistol. He cocked it and pressed the greasy mussel to the silver haired man's temple. " I say you cheated, mate. You couldn't have won 20 matches. It's impossible. I won't give you shit." The bar got quiet with all eyes on the pair of men. Everyone waited hesitantly for chaos to consume the room but it didn't happen. The young man simply closed his eyes then looked at the pirate. His lips twitched before he lashed out. Time froze and the others strained their eyes to see the young man clutch the man's wrist and twist it behind the pirate's back. The young man's speed was unbelievable and quicker than the human eye could comprehend. The pirate gasped for air and wheezed in pain. "How- how did you move like that?" "Your question is of no importance to me, only your money. Understand?" the young man whispered then glanced at the men beside him. "Please place the money in that bag. I'm sure you don't want to die today. Thank you." After the men placed the money in the bag, the strange young man slipped on his black cloak and grabbed the bag. With a wry grin, he turned on his heel and made his way towards the doors.

Danneh sighed upon reaching the doors. He hadn't wanted any trouble at this bar but he couldn't pass up a chance for money. His chances seemed to be running out with all the demands from his employer, King Cold, lessening. His lips twitched while in mid thought and he chuckled lightly. It seemed mercenaries, especially HIS particular kind, were in less demand. Just then, a large force hit him in the mid section and knocked the air out of his stomach. He snapped his head around to see a short stubby pink alien on the floor with a look of pure terror on his face. Danneh narrowed his eyes and grabbed the man's arm, pulling him to his feet. Before Danneh could ask the man anything, the alien began squirming and searching for words. " Sai..the-the...the.they are-are.THEY ARE HERE!!" Danneh cocked an eyebrow and frowned at the alien. Danneh closed his eyes and tried to search the alien's thoughts for any images and thoughts. Before he came close to an answer, the man screamed in terror and caught the whole bar's attention. " THE SAIYINS ARE HERE!! THE SAIYINS!! THEY ARE HERE!!" Danneh sucked in a cold breeze of air and felt his hands go weak. He didn't even acknowledge the sudden death of the frightened alien as he stepped outside the bar. His knees were weak and wobbly but he did not fall. Upon exiting the bar, he heard the thousands of screams and shouts of terror erupting all around him like hail. Thick streams of smoke snaked around him and burning ash stung Danneh's eyes. He coughed and looked up at the dark sky overhead with watering eyes. He gasped in shock. There HE was. He was actually here. A small dark figure hovered in the sky far above him, cackling wildly and shooting off random blasts of blue energy. A flame of wild black hair whipped in the wind with loose strands snapping in front of the man's cobalt marble eyes. Those burning eyes of hate and destruction. Danneh immediately recognized him as the last prince of Saiyins, Vegeta. Danneh closed his eyes once more as the image sank in his head. Vegeta, he hadn't expected him to strike this rogue planet. Danneh could barely control his anger and felt himself power up. His thoughts ran wild and his brain whizzed while trying to compute possible theories of why the Saiyins would strike this place of all the better planets to purge. This planet had nothing and was nothing. It was simply a refugee planet for Freeza's victims, the ones that had survived previous purges and had nowhere to go to with their homes gone. Danneh snarled at the thought of Freeza executing such an order. Before he erupted, a sharp stream of light flashed through his mind along with a voice calling to him. A voice like a child's called in pain and fright. Danneh felt it and turned to his left. That's where the voice came from. Danneh closed his eyes again and concentrated his energy. Ah, yes, he felt it now. A Saiyin, male, was wrecking havoc upon a Sylph colony not too far away. Danneh scrunched his nose. Strange.there was a LARGE amount of energy radiating from that area and it COULDN'T have been the Saiyin there. Either way, Danneh had to leave there now and try to save the horde of his people residing there. Danneh lifted up into the air and shot off quickly towards the direction of the colony. Suddenly Danneh felt a nearby power source and felt an elbow ram into his ribs. "Where do you think you're going? The fun has just started!" hissed a voice seething with fury and apparent bloodlust. Vegeta. Danneh coughed and wiped the blood from his lip. He took a peek at Vegeta and gave a faint grin of recognition. "That wasn't the right way to treat an old acquaintance. Shame on you, Vegeta." Vegeta's face paled slightly and his lip quivered but he quickly regained his arrogant composure. He simply smirked, his eyeteeth glistening with hunger. His light blue aura crackled around him with fury and power. "Oh so sorry to offend you Danneh. It only seems giving you respect is meaningless, as it is you are not a prince anymore. More so, a dead prince when I'm done with you." Danneh snarled at the sharp stab of pain and sorrow Vegeta's words rang in him. He narrowed his eyes and powered up. His aura turned a shade of silver and crackled with sparkling lightening. "It seems I'm not the only forgotten prince here, Vegeta. At least my people aren't dead." Before Vegeta could react, Danneh let out a yell and rammed his shoulder into Vegeta's chest. Vegeta tried to gasp for air as Danneh landed a fist into his stomach. Vegeta doubled over and looked up with a bloodshot eye at Danneh. He sneered and felt Danneh slam his fist on top of his head. Vegeta felt his body weaken and give out while he fell into darkness. Before passing out, Vegeta felt his body soar at an amazing speed and connect into the ground.

Danneh's chest rose and fell quickly as he looked at the huge crater where Vegeta landed. He certainly didn't want the little monster following him again and detaining him from his present mission. Danneh turned his back on Vegeta, and with a last glance, he sped off for the Sylph colony once more. Thoughts of others, dying and dead, whipped through his head like a whirlwind of echoing pain as he flew nearer the colony. His extra-sensitive senses picked up the last images and dialogues of the Sylph colony. Danneh tried to hold in his fears and repress the tears that threatened to spill from his eyes. He would not weaken now or ignore the pain of his people again as he had done in the past. He wouldn't stand for the deaths of thousands of Sylphs when he could stop it. With this new surge of inspiration, Danneh increased his speed and pushed past his limit to reach the colony. He had to reach that Saiyin and that incredible power reading he had received.

At the Sylph Colony

Radditz stood stoically with his arms crossed. His boots dug into the loose soil as he faced the flabbergasted weaklings in front of him. He smirked at the scene and looked over at his companion for a similar response. The girl stood impassively with a blank expression on her face. Her flaxen hair snapped in the wind and wrapped around her face. Radditz found himself mesmerized by her quivering pale lips and moist emerald eyes. Seconds passed until he caught himself and turned to growl at the beings in front of him. He dropped his arms and placed his hands on his hips. With a low chuckle, he glanced at Nappa who arrived just then from a smoking section of the colony. "Well, Nappa, did you enjoy yourself?" asked Radditz roughly, knowing the answer already. Nappa grunted and cracked his knuckles. "What the hell kinda question is that? You know I did. How's it coming for you, Radditz? I see the blonde hasn't raised a hand." Nappa nodded his baldhead at Merilyn with a scowl. Radditz glanced at her from the corner of his eye and hmphed to himself. " Don't worry yourself. I'm more concerned with my enjoyment. Now lets get down to business." Radditz faced the inert beings again and gave a wicked grin. He walked forward a little and inspected the crowd before him. "Let me get a reading first so none of you try anything stupid," Radditz shouted then pressed his scouter. The whizzes and whirs finally ceased as Radditz let out a deep chuckle. "Well, it seems the highest reading is about 1,300. That is pretty pathetic for a bunch of highly advanced revered beings as yourselves." A soft voice rang out from the crowd. "Not as pathetic as your filthy race. At least we have honor." A man with pale white hair and blue eyes stood grimly awaiting the Saiyin's response. Radditz tensed his muscles and let out a fierce growl. " Honor? You call living in this dump honor? Well, I'll show you honor. Let's get this party started!" With that, Radditz and Nappa ran at full speed towards the crowd. It immediately parted like the Red Sea as bodies flew and shouts rang out. Bright blazes of ki blasts and fire lit the sky, turning it a dark blood red. Some of the male beings resisted and fought back without much effect as the Saiyins ripped right through them. Nappa let out a blast of energy from his mouth, burning the men before him to a cinder. He turned to snap a man's neck while kicking another in the stomach. Radditz flew high in the air and lifted his arm before him. As he powered up, his hand was glistening with a ring of blue energy. Before he could throw the blast, he froze and felt his body stiffen. He looked over at the pale terror stricken face of Merilyn before feeling his body slam into the ground. " GET AWAY FROM THEM, YOU BEAST!!!"

Danneh hovered in the air after landing a solid kick into the spiky longhaired Saiyin's back while he was powering up for a blast. He watched sharply as the young man lay moaning on the ground. He saw the young man struggle to rise but could not. He closed his eyes and tuned his mind into the young man's thoughts. Must rise.must defeat my attacker..must not show weakness.pain in my back.where is that damned Merilyn.Merilyn. The Saiyin's thoughts blurred Danneh's mind, as he looked for this Merilyn the young teenaged warrior was complaining about. Danneh finally saw her. He caught his breath and froze. This creature.this Merilyn.was the loveliest thing he had seen in his long lifetime. She just seemed to stand there frozen nearby the fallen Saiyin, totally inert and detached from the outside environment. Her glistening dark blonde hair seemed to transcend above her head like a pale halo. Strands blew in her face, in front of her most magnetic feature. Her glittering emerald eyes were hidden under the long black lashes encircling her round eyes. He couldn't even get a power reading, much less think straight without great effort. Her mystifying figure totally eluded him yet pulled him towards her like an invisible chain. He tried to breathe and blinked his eyes. Who was this girl? She was so young.maybe thirteen or twelve.yet so beautiful. Before Danneh could even think another thought, he felt strong arms encircle him and hold him in an iron grip. Danneh struggled to escape or at least land a hit but found his air leaving his lungs. This monster was squeezing the life out of him and all because he let his guard fall. " Well, well. What do we have here? An albino rodent," roared the deep baritone of the giant called Nappa. His acid breath burned Danneh's eyes and skin. Just as Danneh felt darkness consume him, he heard a high- shrilled voice call out. He looked up through his blurry vision to see a bruised and panting Vegeta hovering in front of him. "No, Nappa! This slime ball is mine." Vegeta smirked and placed his hands on his hips in an arrogant posture. He turned up his nose and narrowed his eyes in triumph. Just as he was about to punch Danneh, he frowned and looked at Merilyn. He could hear Radditz causing havoc once more but he saw Merilyn standing still.

Merilyn stood inert and frozen with shock. She could feel her knees wobble and weaken at the site of the massive bloodshed ahead of her. Dying bodies lay on the ground in such a mutilated state that caused her stomach to sicken. Spilled blood, gaping wounds, shredded organs, and body parts lay spread about. She could smell the intoxicating scent of sweat and rich blood in the soil but dare not react to her primal instinct. Her impulse was to join the carnage and inflict the shedding of thousands but her shock of death created more feelings in her. She glanced at the blood splattered on her boot then faced the sight before her once more. Translucent tears slid down her cheek and splattered on top of her boot. She raised a shaky hand to her cheek and pressed her finger to stop a tear from falling. The tear mesmerized her as her tears always had. She hadn't shed one in over three or four years. What was happening to her? What was this erupting new feeling in her? Why did she feel somehow bonded to these people? Why did she feel she was dying with them? Suddenly an image of a terrified young girl ripped through her skull. She shouted in pain and clutched her head. The girl in the image was crying and huddling under some sort of temple. Two burnt bodies lay by her in pools of blood. Merilyn cried out and looked around fiercely for this child. She started to walk around and pressed her scouter repeatedly, hoping for a reading off this girl. She found her finally. The girl was huddling by the two bodies like in the image. Her blue skin was covered in blood and wet soil from the torn earth. The locks of her midnight black hair drifted in the faint breeze and fell behind her back. The girl had finished sobbing and had noticed Merilyn staring at her with surprise. The girl's hazel eyes glistened and moistened over with fear of death. Merilyn's eyes connected with the girl's as a powerful vision engulfed her mind. A torrent of runny pictures leaped through her mind and threatened to consume her attention if it hadn't been for the new image. It was blurry and swirling in gray tones like her astral body was caught in a tornado. Her mind's eye noticed the tower above the crying girl. She noticed how it teetered and began to fall. Merilyn snapped out of her daze and looked at the girl in rising fear. The tower had just begun to fall. She could hear the beginnings of the girl's screams. Impulse shot into her mind and Merilyn shot off towards the girl in a whirlwind of white energy. Merilyn landed before the girl and brought her arms up in front of her face like an X. She tensed her muscles and squeezed her eyes shut before bracing for impact. The warmth of her aura wrapped around the two girls, enclosing them in a silver shield of light. The screams of the tower lashed out as the metal split into burning strips upon impacting the shield. The shield went through the collapsing tower like a hot knife through butter. Merilyn could feel her shield weaken and began increasing her energy. She let out a yell of rage until her throat grew raw with the shrill sounds escaping it. It was seconds, maybe minutes, until the shattered remains of the tower lay among the girls. Merilyn breathed heavily and drew out a long breath. She lowered her arms and opened her eyes slowly to see the young girl gazing at her in absolute shock. The girl was mumbling something unintelligent and couldn't form words. Merilyn only winced and felt her eyes threaten to water at the sight of the young girl's soulful eyes. Her eyes seemed to burn right through her to her soul, right into the core. Merilyn looked away and realized what it was. The girl's eyes were eyes of innocence, purity. Something Merilyn had once but not ever again. Merilyn sighed but immediately winced upon hearing the shrilly voice of Prince Vegeta calling her. She could only take a deep breath and look up at the trembling figure of Vegeta.

Prince Vegeta was once trembling with shock but now he trembled with pure rage. He could not believe the audacity of this girl to save one of those pitiful creatures. This he could not tolerate nor would he stand for. He would not have this mission failed and his hide beat to a pulp because of some girl's sympathy. Vegeta shivered slightly at the thought of having Freeza beat him once more for failing a mission. He wasn't scared.he just- he just had to find the right time to defy Freeza. Now was not the time. "Girl, how dare you! What do you think you are doing? You dare defy my direct orders! Your own damn prince's orders!" Vegeta screamed wrathfully with his fist shaking in the air with passion. "But sire.this is her first mission.cut her some slack," pleaded Nappa who still held a shocked Danneh. Vegeta only glared at Nappa and drew his lips into a sneer. He suddenly broke into a loud cackle and turned to face Merilyn. "You must be joking, you fool. I mean, really Nappa, you of all people. That disappoints me." He sneered once more. "I'LL SHOW YOU SOME SLACK! YOU'D BETTER DO YOUR JOB OR ELSE!" "Leave her alone! Vegeta, you hear me!" screamed Danneh with rising anger. "SHUT UP! This does not concern you, you dirty Sylph," Vegeta hissed before looking at Merilyn once more. He could feel his anger rise as he powered up. "Girl, you had better do your job! You hear me? Do you want to be beat by Freeza again? Do you want more bruises and tank visits after each beating? Do you? You'd better listen to me and complete your mission, you Saiyin half-breed!" Vegeta threatened once more before shooting off a ki blast to emphasize his point. Before he could see his results, Vegeta felt a sharp pain in his back as Danneh landed an elbow into his spine.

Merilyn saw the ki blast but was too stunned to care. She closed her eyes and bowed her head to her chest in defeat. Everything felt like a dream, the end of a nightmare come to a dark close. Vegeta had hit a nerve in her core and she could only find herself slipping into the dark void of sorrow again. Nothing mattered now. Nothing. Araro, help me, whispered Merilyn in her thoughts. "NOOOOOOOOO!" Merilyn was awakened by the shout of the Sylph girl and snapped her eyes open. She saw the blast of purple energy heading straight for her and from the corner of her eye she caught the arriving figures of Shain and Radditz rushing forward. She smirked and powered up. New waves of energy slithered into her body as the power reawakened within her soul once more. Soon, the energy radiated from outside in an aura of crackling blue sparks. A warm rush of air snapped Merilyn's hair upwards and encircled it in blue sparks. Veins pulsed everywhere and her muscles bulged with frustration. Merilyn brought her shaking arms up and drew forth all her newfound energy forward. Somehow this power was much stronger and overpowering than the other times she had.transformed like this. With a sharp yell, she brought her arms down causing a chain reaction of the invading power. Her aura crackled yellow with lightening zipping through it while her golden hair snapped in the wind more fiercely. In the blink of an eye, she charged towards the blast and brought her fist forward. The blast connected with her fist and began to burn away the fabric of her gloves. Merilyn pressed forward more and shouted in determination. The blast slid off her knuckles and impacted a building near her hovering figure. Time seemed to flow in a viscous phase like syrup dripping from a jar. Merilyn could barely pick up her bearings before sensing the arrival of help from the last of the dying planet's forces. She turned to see the greasy warriors behind her. Some floated in the sky with her while others rode in air cars. Their faces were pale with fear and now turned alit with anger. "Kill the Saiyin beast before she changes!" Merilyn felt lasers whiz by her as she easily deflected them. She felt shock at first but erupted with deepening hatred. She shouted and powered up a blast. Beside her, she heard the other Saiyins chuckling with pleasure at the sight of a true battle erupting. Merilyn didn't even see them throw the artificial moonlight into the sky nor see them transform into giant were-monkeys. She let out dozens of blasts towards the air cars like rapid fire from a machine gun. Merilyn felt an unseen blast from a gun hit her shoulder as she landed on the ground. She heard the girl scream with fear as a large purple beam came towards Merilyn. She quickly threw her hands up and connected with the blast head on. The force pushed her dozens of feet as she braced herself while trying to dig her heels in the dirt. She growled with throbbing effort and finally deflected the blast. She fell to one knee and began heaving for air. This power was draining her immensely, almost to death. She glanced up with one drooping eye to see a horde of blasts coming towards her and the girl. Merilyn quickly grabbed the girl by the shoulders and held her to her chest while putting up a ki shield. The blasts impacted the shield repeatedly without stopping. Merilyn could feel her power leave her. She glanced at the trembling girl beside her and picked up the child's thoughts like a wave of sickness. Oh no.oh Mama.Papa.I'm so scared and now I'm going to die. Gods, help me! Oh goddess Josephine! Save us! The girl's thoughts cried out in fear and desperation. Merilyn felt a new wave of strength overcome her as she powered up new amounts of energy. The feel of it, this new energy, was like a million volts into her nerves. She gave out a yell before collapsing in a faint.

Danneh watched the young Merilyn's transformation and had observed her brief showing of her hidden powers with amazement. It was unbelievable! He couldn't even pick up a reading before or even sense a power vibe emitting from her until now. Reason and logic played chess with what he witnessed yet he found no true answer. Before he could think much more, he braced himself upon seeing the remaining Saiyins take flight. Their faces were ridden with pure shock and actual fear except for Vegeta. His face was pale with only one thing: Rage and disbelief. Danneh watched them leave for their pods. The long haired Saiyin and the blonde one seemed to linger with the blonde one looking back before blasting off for their pods. They were leaving her behind, fallen and unconscious. Danneh quickly flew towards where Merilyn lay. Danneh landed soundlessly, feeling the vibrations of the planet beneath him. Before he took a step, he felt the planet shake violently and saw the horizon turn deep orange. His eyes grew in fear. The planet was actually breaking up and caving in as he stood. He snapped his head towards Merilyn's fallen body and took in a sharp intake of air. To think, her enormous amount of energy created the planet's destruction. It was ironic to his thoughts and he was psychic for crying out loud. He couldn't think about that now as he focused on getting Merilyn to her own space pod. Without hesitation, he moved quickly to Merilyn's side and tried to pick her up. He noticed the Saiyin girl's tight grip on the Sylph girl's waist as he tried to hold her. The Sylph girl was crying softly and asking if the Saiyin was all right and if she would live. "Yes, yes dear. I'm going to take you to the space pod," Danneh looked into the child's frightened eyes and sighed. "Do not worry. This Saiyin is unlike the others. She would protect you with her life. Trust me on that." The girl sighed and nodded. "I understand. When I looked into her eyes, I saw.saw many things. She is so lonely and dead in her fighting heart. I owe her my life and would gladly revive her soul." Danneh nodded and proceeded to fly the girls to the small space pod. He laid them in there slowly and secured them. With one last look at Merilyn, he pressed the keypad and watched the pod's hatch slide shut. He backed away as the pod took off leaving a trail of dust behind. With a sigh, Danneh took to the air and flew to his own sleek ship lying in the colony's spaceport. After typing in his destination, he took off also and slipped into hyperspace. Behind him, the planet became engulfed in a ball of fire and swallowed itself before erupting in a show of brilliant fire works. Soon, the darkness of space became empty once more.
