Part 5
A Battle Unknown
~~*~~*~~*~~
Lindsey screamed.
Gohan picked her up and tossed her all the way across the room, right into Trunks' arms.
The blast missed him by a hair's breath.
" What the hell?!" Piccolo bellowed, Jenny by his side, eyes wide.
Seventeen held Leelee close to him, pushing her slightly behind him. Nothing was going to happen to his girl while he was standing.
Lindsey climbed out of Trunks' arms and ran back to Gohan, who grabbed her and shoved her behind him. He took a fighting stance, his hair flashing gold.
Catie growled and instead of letting Trunks put her behind him, SHE put him behind her, stepping protectively in front of him. She wasn't afraid.
Sabriena jumped over a row of chairs and stood beside Leelee. A sick feeling churned in her stomach and she took a step back behind her friend.
Jenny looked at the figure before them, her eyes hard and cold. This jerk sent chills up her spine, but she would make sure that he didn't touch her man.
" Who are you, you loser?" she questioned. Piccolo threw a warning glance at her, but she ignored it.
The creature turned his blood red stare on her and a low, threatening voice floated out from him, " Watch your tongue, child. Before you find it ripped out."
Lindsey spit, " Yea right, you idiot. Bring it on."
A tiny smile touched the form's mouth, " You said it, not I."
The ground beneath them began to rumble and Sabriena shrieked as she reached for Leelee's hand.
Trunks went Super Saiyan and picked up Catie, who wrapped her arms around his neck. Power radiated from her and the rest of the girls as their levels rose.
The creature that they were to obviously face in battle, chuckled wickedly and blasted a hole in the roof.
One by one, the girls in the boys' arms, they flew out in search of a remote area, away from the population.
They all followed Gohan, their eyes set in front of them.
Flying over lakes, mountains, fields, and forests, Leelee stole glances at their new enemy. An uneasy feeling, of course, lay in her. She could hear Lindsey taking deep breaths to calm herself down.
She looked over at Catie. Her friend's face was set in determination, but she could almost feel the anxiety building in her.
Jenny set her jaw. Whatever happened, happened. But she would make sure that this dork didn't make it to tomorrow.
Almost twelve mintues later, Gohan stopped. As did the rest of them.
They had come to the ocean, giant rocks rising ominously out of the water like beacons, waves thrashing violently against them.
Piccolo set Jenny down gently, as did Gohan for Lindsey, Trunks for Catie, and Seventeen for Leelee and Sabriena.
An uncomfortable moment of silence passed as good faced evil.
Finally, their enemy spoke, " If this is the choice of your battlefield, so be it. It is an uncanny place to be put to your graves."
Catie and Leelee sneered in annoyance, obviously confident...for the moment. " It'll be YOUR grave if you don't shut up", Jenny commented, her patience thin.
Leelee smiled at her friend's cockiness and turned serious again, glancing over at Sabriena. Sabriena stood shaking where she was, her eyes full of fright and youth.
Lindsey's heart went out to her. They were all so young...
" Enough time has been wasted, you insolent brats", the figure hissed. It threw back its hood and revealed itself as a he.
His face was covered in scars, his black hair flowing around his narrow shoulders.
" My name is Radmis", he said. " I am here to avenge my sister's death. I care very little for her, but NO ONE disgraces my family."
" Your sister's death?" Sabriena questioned. " Who the heck is your sister?"
Suddenly, Leelee went pale as realization struck her. "Kamahina", she whispered, her voice wobbling.
" That is correct, child", was the reply from Radmis. " Now I am sick of waiting. You either fight me then die, or die right now. Your choice."
"Hell no!" Jenny spat.
" I ain't goin' down without a fight", Catie added. Lindsey nodded an agreement as Leelee smirked, " If you're gonna fight us, get it on, you cherry eyed freak." She taunted.
Sabriena said nothing. She trembled with fear, but nodded her head in conviction.
Radmis removed his cape, throwing it into the salty water below them. " Shall we begin?" he asked in a sultry voice.
The girls powered up as much as they could. They hadn't learned how to fully power up, except for Jenny.
" All right", Lindsey said, turning toward her friends. " Which one of us goes first?"
"You're insane if you think that you're gonna fight this guy!" The boys shouted.
Catie looked over at them, " And you're insane if you think we won't", she threw back coolly.
The rest of the girls nodded. Leelee stepped up, " Let me go first", she said, her voice tight with confidence.
Silence....
" No", Jenny said. She couldn't, she WOULDN'T let anyone go before her. She wanted to see if she could beat this guy before anybody else got hurt.
" What do you mean 'no'? I can do what I want and I say that I go first."
"Well I say you don't", Jenny shot back.
" Be quiet!" Lindsey and Catie shouted at the same time.
" This is DANGEROUS!" Catie said.
" Why fight over who gets to get hurt first?" Sabriena added.
Jenny growled, " Whatever"...and she attacked Radmis.
" Jenny!!" Piccolo shouted.
Leelee gasped. Lindsey's mouth dropped open.
Catie slammed her hands onto the ground.
" Crap!" Gohan managed to force out.
Sabriena shrieked.
A spiral of water stronger than a tidal wave shot out of Jenny's hand and struck her opponent dead on.
Radmis staggered backwards, but maintained the upper hand, viciously backhanding Jenny away.
Lindsey winced as she watched her friend make a rough landing onto the rocky surface.
Jenny bounced back up and rushed head long at the man in front of her, every muscle tense.
A punch to the chin, a kick to the stomach.
That was all she got in before she was tackled to the edge of the rock. Her mind raced and she kneed Radmis with all her might, backflipping over his hunched form and turning to face him again.
What met her eyes made her go rigid.
Radmis stood facing her, an enormous sphere of energy gathered at the tip of his fingers.
A cruel smile played about his lips and he flung the killing shot straight at Jenny, who couldn't move fast enough, even if she tried.
Piccolo's heart froze and his mind cried out, 'Do something!'
A moment later, he was speeding with all the strength in the world toward Jenny, inserting himself between her and her end.
The blow struck both of them with the force of a freight train, slamming into them and knocking both to their fates, into the thrashing waves below.
A minute passed as Trunks, Gohan, Seventeen, and the girls searched frantically for Piccolo's or Jenny's life force.
Nothing...
