And So It Began
Ch.3 How to Welcome Guests
As Kataru flew towards Capsule Corp. , both Trunks and Vegeta could sense something evil approaching. Not wanting to waste any time, Vegeta grabbed Trunks, and flew off, not hearing Bulma's yells of "Calm down!", and "Take it easy!"
Kataru, surprised that two people had left the building, halted to a stop.
"So," she said, "They've sensed me. It looks like they're not that weak after all. Hmm…what the- they're flying!" Kataru could see the two figures of Trunks and Vegeta flying toward her.
"Grr…stupid, foolish humans!" she yelled.
Vegeta, hearing her (for he was only about 30 meters away), responded, "I'm not a human, stupid girl!!!"
"Wow!" exclaimed Kitty, "You saw through my disguise! Too bad! I don't have one! HAHAHA! COME…..COME AND SEE MY POWER….HUMANS!"
Vegeta, obviously ticked off, rushed forward, blasting Trunks about 100 feet back. "You'll pay for that, girl! And I am a SAIYAN!!! I'm not human!" yelled Vegeta, now standing in front of Kataru. Meanwhile, Trunks caught up.
"Saiyan? I didn't know there were any left. Oh well, I guess that's why I kinda like your attitude! Hehe , I am rather fond of Sayans, considering that Frieza killed mostly all of them. Now…. let's see, you're either Goku, or Vegeta. You must be Vegeta, because you've got the bad temper, and….you're pretty cute!" yelled Kataru back, with a bit of cockiness in her voice.
Vegeta growled, and replied, "Who are you, where are you from, and why are you here?"
Kataru, obviously amazed stared at Vegeta, "You don't know who I am! I am the Princess Katarukanaka Tenacasuya from the Sun. You've never heard of me??? No wonder you aren't scared! As for the reason I'm here….well….I just want to destroy all the people on Earth. Is that clear enough!"
Hearing that, Vegeta lunged forward, and tried to kick Kataru. She easily dodged, and sent him flying with a punch to the stomach.
"Is that any way to treat a guest?" she asked innocently, " Well…I'll tell you how to welcome guests! Rule number one, you don't try to fight them if they're stronger!" and with that, she kicked Vegeta, making him cough up some blood, "Rule number two, you don't ask the questions, they do!" she then punched him in the face, which made him space out, "And rule number three….well….there's no rule number three that I can think of." She said, stepping away. "Now, where is the other one?" she asked.
Trunks, who was very angry now, blurred in front of Kataru, and punched her in the face.
"Ow…that hurt." Said Kataru sarcastically, "Is that the best you can do?" she said, kicking him in the stomach.
"Hmm……I kind of like you, human. I think I won't destroy you……not just yet." Said Kataru, now holding Trunks by his neck, and squeezing. Not being able to breathe, Trunks just stood there…unmoving. Sudddenly, a blast hit her from behind which sent her flying. She spun around to see Vegeta.
"So, " she yelled, "You didn't have enough!? Why are you helping this foolish human!?"
"Because…he's my son." Replied Vegeta weakly.
"So…you'll risk your life for your son, huh? Pathetic." Barked Kataru, then, with one final blow, Vegeta crashed into the ground, lifeless.
"DAAAD!!!" yelled Trunks.
"huh? And why do YOU care about him!?" asked Kataru, facing Trunks.
"BECAUSE HE'S MY DAD!!! AND I'll DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO STOP YOU, EVEN IF IT MEANS KILLING MY SELF IN THE PROCESS!!!!" screamed Trunks, not flying toward Kataru. She stood, unmoving, for that last sentence had struck her like a thousand knives. why do humans care for one another? Why? On my star, we each have to go out on our own. I never thought humans could care for one another this much. To give your life to save a loved one? That would be unthinkable. But…I thought all humans were cold, and heartless. thought Kataru, as she started to remember that day a long time ago, when she had gotten lost on Earth. Little did she notice that Trunks was starting to attack her. Kataru's thoughts drifter farther and farther toward that day…..that horrible day on Earth:
She was only about seven years old, at the martial art's tournament. She had come to Earth to see the great monster Majin Buu, but never got her chance. Just when she was about to leave, her mother disappeared. Kataru wandered around the stadium until, two mean boys attacked her. Of course, being her age, she didn't know how to protect herself, so she got beat up pretty badly. From that day, Kataru had thought all humans were bad. But….this day was starting to prove her wrong.
Returning to reality, Kataru started to feel the pain of her wounds. She screamed out in pain, but trunks couldn't hear. His dad was everything that mattered. Trunks fired a ki blast at Kataru. She just took it, full on. The blast threw her about 1 mile into the earth's core. Trunks, haven tired out, cane to rest over the hole. He suddenly started to hear Kataru…crying?
what have I done? How could I have been so blind? I can't destroy the humans! They're better than us. They're way better than us. They know how to love, and care for one another. I…..I've never been loved. Never. All the money on the whole star couldn't buy me any love. No….mother never loved me. She was just using me to get what she wanted. Well…..no more. I will hurt no more innocent people thought Kataru, flying out of the "crater" she had created. Trunks, seeing her, got ready to fight.
"No, " said Kataru, "no. Human, I will fight you no more. I'm sorry, and I hope someday you will forgive me" (yeah, I know it sounds corny, but what the hey.) She flew toward Vegeta, and laid her hand on his heart. Suddenly, blue light surrounded her, and Vegeta started to move.
"Goodbye." Said Kataru. And…she was gone.
