Chapter Five: Fight
Jay opened her eyes. She blinked once at the bright white light above her before raising her hand to block the offending rays. "Oh hell." she croaked out of a dry throat.
"JAY!!! She's finally awake Doug! Oh my BABY!" Then suddenly Jay was attacked by some kind of blond haired beast.
"AHHHH!" She cried before beginning to cough harshly. She blinked to see her mother leaning over her with a worried look.
"Jay? Are you all right? OH! You didn't think I was that EVIL little bitch Loral did you?!" She cried in alarm. Jay was having problems processing this sudden motherly attack. She sat up in the stale white hospital room to stare at her mother.
"What did you say?" She questioned as her eyes flicked from her mother to her father and back. Mrs Kitty slapped her hands to her checks in fright.
"Oh the doctors said that you would be over any concussion! It seems they were wrong! Oh my poor little angel!" She strangled her daughter in a hug.
"MUM!" Cried Jay and pushed her mother away gently. "Really, what did you say?" Mrs Kitty shook her head and dabbed at her red eyes with a hanky. "Oh only that for a minute there you must have though I was that evil horrible girl Loral! Oh I can't even stand her name!" She cried with a quavering voice. Mr Kitty comforted his wife with quiet words. ~No..no..no~ Thought Jay. This was all wrong!
"Look Mum Loral didn't do it ok?!" Said Jay as she rubbed her newly freed jaw. Her tail flicked out from under the sheets to wave with swift strikes through the air illustrating her anger. Mrs Kitty turned to stare at her daughter.
"Oh Jay! Of course she did, even Loral's sister is claiming she did, along with several hundred other students and teachers!" Said Mrs Kitty. Jay stared at her mother. Loral's own sister was saying that?! A shiver went down her spine. What ever happened to sticking with your family. ~God, Loral! She must be feeling like shit! Her own family..against her.~ She knew if her family had been against her for some thing she was innocent of she would have broken down long ago. But where was Loral? Had they caught her? From what her mother had said it didn't look like it. ~It's also amasing how my mother seems to have totally blocked out the fact I have a tail..~
Nurse Seuss walked into her patents room to see her siting up and talking with her mother. A beaming smile lit her face. "Jay! It is so good to see you up!" She walked over to the side of the bed and check over all her injuries. To her surprise after three days the girl was almost totally healed. She frowned and looked at the IV machine Jay was hooked up to by her right arm. "Now dear, just lie back and relax and I'll remove this IV in your arm. It seems you won't be needing it any longer." She beamed.
Jay froze and turned her head to the Nurse. "IV?!" She whispered, her face bleaching white. Nurse Seuss nodded. "Of course." Jay looked down to the needle in her arm. "As in a needle..a needle.a NEEDLE IN MY ARM?!" She shrieked and fainted back. Mrs Kitty stared at her daughter.
"That's strange. She's never had a problem with needles before." She looked at the Nurse with a worried frown. The Nurse too looked slightly taken back. "Uh..I'll just go and get Dr Samiam." With that she hurried out of the room.

Vegeta watched the cold city blocks pass under his flying form. Low clouds brushed by his olive skin. His dark obsidian eyes watched the ants below as they scurried around. Little insignificant beings which meant nothing to him yet if only his wife and son were one of them. Then he could swoop down out of this slate sky and pester his wife about her clothing and perhaps spar with his son. But he wasn't on their Earth. No, he was as far as a dead man could get from them now. Just to fix some stupid mistake caused by some stupid whim of his. Kami, why had he done it. Why had he gone through that portal. He knew the answer of course. It was his pride. He wanted just one more battle, one more fight but it was really all about his pride. The pride of a Saiyan Prince is not easily defeated, even by the Prince himself.
The rain fell in torrents down his blue clad body only to get whipped off him again at the speed he flew. He loved the feel of them as they impacted on his flesh like tiny ice fists. It ran down his face and his hair. He closed his eyes for a moment. Just a moment to forget where he was and to think of where he could have been right now. Those blue eyes. Those green blue bangs. The way they cupped her face and gently tapped her cheeks just so. A bitter smile joined his black eyes as they opened again and reality came back to haunt him. He was a dead man flying over another Earth. His golden halo testified to that. He glanced to his right to see Kakarot flying beside him. He also had a thoughtful look to his face. The great lummox, was he thinking about that dark haired harpy's vial sushi again? A dark chuckle broke his silence, but it was too quite to reach Goku's ears. Vegeta looked a head of him at the girl who flew in front of himself, Kakarot and Shin. She had a look of intense concentration, a furious snarl crossed her face, she was obviously thinking about some thing that made her angry. ~I wonder what?~ Thought Vegeta. He frowned. ~ I wonder why I care.~ He wasn't sure. Maybe it was the way her eyes, so much darker than Bulma's reflected his wife's same strength. Yes, she did have a core akin to steel. But..was it about to break? Vegeta shrugged it off. What did he care. She was just another casualty. Vegeta wondered for a moment if the girl even wanted to be human again. No one had asked her, they just assumed. Kakarot and his friends assumed too much. That had always got them into trouble. Was assuming she wanted to be human another mistake? Perhaps the girl doesn't even know the answer to that question her self.
Vegeta followed Loral as they floated down to join the ant city which for a moment he had felt detached from. They landed in the swamped land out side an abandoned old town house. Loral ushered them through the broken door and into a fairly warm lounge in rag-tag condition. A man appeared from around the corner to a kitchen and stared at them for a moment.
"Loral! What the hell are you doing here! You know they could turn up at any moment!" He cried as he ran over to a window to peek through the blinds and boards. Loral shook her hair out and huffed the water from her lips which ran down her face.
"If you mean the mob that was chasing me then don't bother, they're long gone." The man stared at her in horror for a moment.
"You ..killed them?" he whispered. Loral stared at him.
"Good god man, no!" Her stare intensifying with confusion. "What are you talking about Zim?!" Zim backed away from her until he walked into a wall.
"Look just..damn it take what ever you want and leave ok? I don't want any trouble from them."
Shin suddenly pushed his way through the two Saiyan's who had stood in front him. Zim's eyes widened further when he focused his attention on them. "They aren't.they aren't who they ..noooo.." He said, self doubt spicing his words. Shin slowly walked up to him, his head cocked to the side as if inspecting a strange flower or insect. Zim flinched under the concentrated stare of the Supreme Kai. Zim slid along the wall to walk back into the kitchen. A smile slowly perked at Shin's lips. Loral, Goku and Vegeta watched Shin's movements with some amusement. ~What is he up to?~ Thought Vegeta as he tapped his chin slightly. Shin reached a hand out and lightly tapped the man named Zim on the forehead. Zim immediately blinked and then looked about him as if awakened from a dream.
"Oh, hello." He said to them. "I, uh..do you want a coffee?" He swiftly turned and walked back to the kitchen with purpose in his stride. Goku walked up to the Supreme Kai who was now smiling slightly, almost smugly. He stared after the young man who a moment ago had been on the verge of a panic attack. "What did you just do to him?" Asked the taller Saiyan, his eyes wide with thought. Shin gave a little laugh. "Oh I just calmed his nerves. Reassured him that we are not here to harm him. He's a little bit paranoid at the moment." He tilted his head to the side and glanced at Goku. "He believed that Loral would try to kill him for some reason." Shin gave a small shrug. Zim walked back into the lounge with five black coffee's all steaming from mugs carefully balanced on a tray. He set it down on a small lopsided coffee table and picked one up for himself.
"Don't mind if I do." Said Shin out loud and grabbed a mug of the vile brew for himself. Loral made a face. "I don't know how you drink that shit." She said and then glared at Zim. "I told you, I don't like coffee!" She sat down crossed legged on the floor. Shin glanced at the two Saiyan's who were standing somewhat uncomfortably near the door. Zim looked too and waved them over. "It's ok, coffee doesn't bite you know." Loral snorted, Yeah sure coffee didn't 'bite'. It just tasted like crap. Vegeta frowned down at the stuff. Bulma had tried to get him to drink it before. But something about it's smell..it didn't feel right. Goku had never drunk coffee before, he had seen Chichi drink it, he had no idea why. With a shrug he wandered over to the coffee table to pick up a light blue mug. "Well I guess it's worth a try huh. I mean it is only coffee." He sipped it carefully as he sat down in an empty sofa. "Have one Vegeta, it's quite nice." Loral looked at them weirdly, ~Gees you'd think they never drunk coffee before.~
Vegeta glared at Goku. "Don't proclaim to think that you can tell me what to do Kakarot!" Snarled the riled Saiyan no Ouji before turning his head to glare at the coffee like it was his worst enemy. ~Well.. if he's drinking it.~ Vegeta staunched over to snatch a mug, then ignoring it's searing heat downed the hole thing in one go. "EGH! That tastes revolting!" He spat and glared at Goku. "What are you trying to do poison me Kakarot?!" Goku winced. "Uh..your meant to add sugar, Vegeta." Vegeta glared at him. "So now you tell me, baka.." He muttered before grabbing the kettle and poured himself another mug before dumping half the sugar bowl into his cup. He stirred it with his finger and then tasted it. ~Hmm not too bad.~ Then downed it again like a tequila shot. This time he winced, way too sweet. He fixed the problem immediately by pouring another one and adding only half of what was left of the sugar bowl. Goku looked at the quarter jar of sugar that was left with a slightly worried flinch of his left eye. That much sugar and that much coffee in one go could not be good for you. Goku mentally shrugged. Vegeta did what he wanted to, surely he knew coffee had adverse effects if too much was consumed. ~Oh well.~ He thought and finished his own mug.
"So now what do we do?" Asked Loral leaning back against a lay-z-boy looking bored. Shin looked up with a slightly annoyed expression. "I've told you already, we find a Guardian to reactivate the Dragon Balls." Zim blinked and looked from Loral to Shin. "We have Dragon Balls here?" He asked. Shin rolled his eyes. "Of course, why else would we be looking for a Guardian to reactivate them if you didn't have any." Zim shrugged. "Fine."
Loral leaned back and stuck her arms under her head to pillow it. Life sure was weird at the moment. ~I doubt it could get any weirder. Oh wait I better not jinx it.~
Half an hour later after Zim and Shin had fallen into a riveting conversation about the evolution of trees and Vegeta was as buzzed as a hyped up bee. Goku watched him carefully as the Prince tried his damnedest to sit still. But it just wasn't happening, if he wasn't tapping the floor with his foot then his fingers were drumming on his crossed arms and his left eye was twitching as he muttered curses under his breath too fast for Goku to hear. Loral was dozing in her chair. Or at least she was until Vegeta bolted up right and made the chair jump, startling Loral so she went tumbling to the floor.
"HEY WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?!" She screamed as she leapt up in Vegeta's face. The Prince gritted his teeth and shoved her out of his way.
"YOU OF COURSE WHO THE HELL ELSE?!" He yelled back, he was pumped now, ready for a fight, his nerves tearing on the edge. ~Perfect..I'll just wind her up a bit more and see how strong she really is.~ He stepped forward right in Loral's face. "So are you going to move outta my way or am I going to have to assist you?!" He shoved her backwards again.
"Don't you fucking touch me!" She growled and shoved his chest with her hand.
"So then, that's the way you wanna fight huh?" Smirked Vegeta as he advanced on her, a strange mad light in his eyes.
Loral felt a chill go down her spine. Those eyes..where had she seen them before?
Out of no where his fist flew at her and then she was staring up at the ceiling wondering how she got here. ~What the?!~ Then she saw a white glove filling her vision, she spun to the side with all her speed as Vegeta smashed his fist through the wooden floor. With a maddened growl he flipped up and slammed Loral through the wall. Loral was seeing stars for a moment until she found her self staring at the sky above.
"Huh?" Was all she got out before several punches made her black out for a moment. Loral had no idea how to fight some one like Vegeta. Her pure strength which matched the Prince's own was no match for his decades of experience.
Opening her eyes she leapt to her feet and got into a fighting position, feeling a bit dazed. Vegeta was standing across the street from the slight ditch in the road she had landed in. He smirked and slid his hands to his waist. He cocked his head to the side. "Oh is that too much for you Loral. Pitiful, if you were a real Saiyan you would have been able to block those little pats I gave you. But then you are so very.. weak."
Loral growled low in her throat as fury was kindled inside. A fury which burned from a Saiyan spirit. How dare he! How dare he.. Rage, red hot burning rage, it flowed.. it tore through her, wiping out reason and control as her power was let loose with a furious primal scream. Shattered concrete rattled and shook into the air as flashes of lightning crackled, the air snapped. Her human mind was thrown aside for something much greater, much more bestial. A pride not her own took over her senses as a wicked grin bared her fangs. Her deep blue eyes flashed aqua as her dark ruddy hair tore upwards and snapped shock platinum. A growl savaged her throat, her tail whipped behind her, a golden feral.. striking.. lethal.. thing.. which radiated her anger. She was not Loral any longer, she was not any one. She was Saiyan. And that was all that existed in her mind.
Shin, Goku and Zim had hurried out side after the sudden attack by Vegeta which had escalated into some thing growing more dangerous by the second. Zim yanked his glassed off to clean them and shoved them back on his nose. Yeah he was looking at a Super Saiyan alright, there was no denying it.
Shin stared. NO! What was going on?! Why had Vegeta just turned into a psychopath?! Why was Loral going nuts?! It was all going wrong! ~This is what comes of giving a Saiyan coffee Shin!~ He yelled to himself. ~You idiot!~
Goku had been stunned at first by Vegeta's attack on Loral, he him self was feeling rather jumpy and irritated, but obviously it wasn't near as bad as Vegeta's. He was acting more like his old arrogant self. Goku felt a bit weird. Usually he would have jumped up to stop this fight by now but..he didn't really feel like stopping it. The thrill of battle sung in his blood and he wasn't sure if he could stop himself from joining in.
Vegeta snarled, a sneer painting his face with darkness. This was what he needed. Blood, yes to spill a little blood, maybe a lot.. ~You know what they say, I'm gonna paint the town red.~ He needed to feel the fight, the thrill was maddening. The battle, oh yes. He sucked in a lung full of that bloody sent from his fists. His eyes sparked and he growled deep in his throat. He watched the Saiyan woman go golden, the thrum of her anger vibrating the ground, shattering windows and making walls collapse. Golden, oh yes..
~Tiger tiger, burning bright..in the forests of the night..~ The random poem rambled through his head. ~Blake..yes Blake..~ Bulma was always reading those old Earth stories. She had recited that poem to him once. Not that he said so but he had liked it. It said something to him. And right now, that tiger was there in front of him, flaming away.
He threw back his head as his own soul erupted with a scream around him, his heart curling away to cinders. The embers of his eyes shot through with jade. His flaming hair jagged back into thick sharp flaxen locks. The only thing he was missing to complete his look of manic intensity was a large black "M" stamped on his forehead. He gave a small laugh. This was going to be fun. Yes. Very fun.
The two golden Super Saiyans smashed into each other, their golden auras decimating the dead buildings in this lower city side slum. A shortfire fury of punched made it through Loral's flimsy block, pummelling her into the side of a building and down in to the rubble and foundations. Vegeta grabbed her by the front of her gi and spun around once before flinging her out into the air. Loral went sailing and smashed through the roof of a nice family several hundred metres away. Naturally they all freaked and ran for it, as you do.. She went though the floor and landed with a crash as rubble piled in on top of her. A large rock smacked her in the head and darkness followed as her golden strength faded out.
****
Ooooooh! What's gonna happen! What's gonna happen?! Even I don't know yet! And if I don't know then who does?! Will any one ever find out?! You bet ya! NEXT ON SAIYAN SPIRIT: The fight continues, some one else joins the picture that every one forgot about, will Goku join the fight making it even harder on Loral? Will a Guardian ever be found? Will the Dragon balls ever be restored?! Will a big giant space monster ruin their fun?! Will Vegeta ever get over his ego trip?! Will skeletons rise up and take over the world?! Will pigs discover Ki and fly?! Will I ever shut up?! Not likely!
SOME OF THIS AND MORE COMING UP NEXT ON SAIYAN SPIRIT!

"That's strange. She's never had a problem with needles before." She looked at the Nurse with a worried frown. The Nurse too looked slightly taken back. "Uh..I'll just go and get Dr Samiam." With that she hurried out of the room.

Loral growled low in her throat as fury was kindled inside. A fury which burned from a Saiyan spirit. How dare he! How dare he.. Rage, red hot burning rage, it flowed.. it tore through her, wiping out reason and control as her power was let loose with a furious primal scream. Shattered concrete rattled and shook into the air as flashes of lightning crackled, the air snapped. Her human mind was thrown aside for something much greater, much more bestial. A pride not her own took over her senses as a wicked grin bared her fangs. Her deep blue eyes flashed aqua as her dark ruddy hair tore upwards and snapped shock platinum. A growl savaged her throat, her tail whipped behind her, a golden feral.. striking.. lethal.. thing.. which radiated her anger. She was not Loral any longer, she was not any one. She was Saiyan. And that was all that existed in her mind.
Shin, Goku and Zim had hurried out side after the sudden attack by Vegeta which had escalated into some thing growing more dangerous by the second. Zim yanked his glassed off to clean them and shoved them back on his nose. Yeah he was looking at a Super Saiyan alright, there was no denying it.
Shin stared. NO! What was going on?! Why had Vegeta just turned into a psychopath?! Why was Loral going nuts?! It was all going wrong! ~This is what comes of giving a Saiyan coffee Shin!~ He yelled to himself. ~You idiot!~
Goku had been stunned at first by Vegeta's attack on Loral, he him self was feeling rather jumpy and irritated, but obviously it wasn't near as bad as Vegeta's. He was acting more like his old arrogant self. Goku felt a bit weird. Usually he would have jumped up to stop this fight by now but..he didn't really feel like stopping it. The thrill of battle sung in his blood and he wasn't sure if he could stop himself from joining in.
Vegeta snarled, a sneer painting his face with darkness. This was what he needed. Blood, yes to spill a little blood, maybe a lot.. ~You know what they say, I'm gonna paint the town red.~ He needed to feel the fight, the thrill was maddening. The battle, oh yes. He sucked in a lung full of that bloody sent from his fists. His eyes sparked and he growled deep in his throat. He watched the Saiyan woman go golden, the thrum of her anger vibrating the ground, shattering windows and making walls collapse. Golden, oh yes..
~Tiger tiger, burning bright..in the forests of the night..~ The random poem rambled through his head. ~Blake..yes Blake..~ Bulma was always reading those old Earth stories. She had recited that poem to him once. Not that he said so but he had liked it. It said something to him. And right now, that tiger was there in front of him, flaming away.
He threw back his head as his own soul erupted with a scream around him, his heart curling away to cinders. The embers of his eyes shot through with jade. His flaming hair jagged back into thick sharp flaxen locks. The only thing he was missing to complete his look of manic intensity was a large black "M" stamped on his forehead. He gave a small laugh. This was going to be fun. Yes. Very fun.
The two golden Super Saiyans smashed into each other, their golden auras decimating the dead buildings in this lower city side slum. A shortfire fury of punched made it through Loral's flimsy block, pummelling her into the side of a building and down in to the rubble and foundations. Vegeta grabbed her by the front of her gi and spun around once before flinging her out into the air. Loral went sailing and smashed through the roof of a nice family several hundred metres away. Naturally they all freaked and ran for it, as you do.. She went though the floor and landed with a crash as rubble piled in on top of her. A large rock smacked her in the head and darkness followed as her golden strength faded out.
