Disclaimer: I don't own Dragonball Z. If I did, you would be scared. So VERY scared.
A/N: Wheeeeeeeeee! I'm back with Chapter 12. Damnit! Kay is such a far superior writer than me!

Okies? Thankies! Now, on with the show!

Chapter 12: I Feel The Light Betray Me
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kazimo Tair chuckled to himself as he felt the ki's of his enemys approaching. This would be an excellent fight, no doubt about that. But Kazimo knew that he was far more powerful than them both.
"KAZIMO TAIR!!"yelled the voice of the warrioress as she landed in the centre of the flaming ring, her golden blonde hair blowing in the wind, her green eyes blazing with the fire of unbelievable rage.
"You called, my dear?"Kazimo taunted, pretending to be supprised.
Shastania's eyes narrowed dangerously."You bastard…you know not of the damage you have inflicted on my sister…."she growled.
Trunks landed nearby. He stepped towards Shastania and gripped her shoulders. "Don't! He's too powerful!"he pleeded. Shastania smacked his hands away. "Hush, Trunks….this is between me and this …this….unholy monster. I must stop him…for my sister…"
Trunks shook his head. "Shastania, be reasonable! He's too powerful! You're no match for him! Let's just get outta here!"he cried…
But it was too late. Shastania let out a shriek and flew towards Kazimo, a ball of black fire blazing in her hand.
"KAJIIIIIII-----MASENKAAAAH!!!!"she screamed. The ball of black fire expanded to the size of a bus and flew towards Kazimo. He smirked and stood his ground. With one swift move of his arm, he batted the fireball out of his way.
"Foolish girl….it's not a good idea to play with fire! Did'nt your mother tell you that?"Kazimo sneered, stepping towards Shastania.
"My mother is dead because of you, you goddamned son of a bitch! As Kami as my witness, I shall avenge her, my father and all you have killed without mercy! I shall destroy you!"Shastania growled.
Kazimo chuckled evilly."Don't count on it, bitch."
And with that, he fazed behind Shastania and locked her in a full nelson, catching her off-guard.
"AAAAaaaagh! Trunks, a lil' help here!"Shastania yelled as she struggled to get free. Trunks nodded and flew into assist. He jumped up and aimed a round house kick to Kazimo's neck, but Kazimo was quicker and countered with a ki blast, during which he released Shastania.
The blue ball of pure energy slammed into Trunks and slammed him to the ground. He was'nt seriously hurt, but his shirt was cut, revealing a shallow gash along his abdomen, a trickle of crimson blood flowing out..
"Damnit…he's too strong!"Trunks yelled.
"FLAAAAAAAAAAAA--------AAAAAAAAAMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGGG ZEEEEEEEEPHIIIIR!!!!!"
Shastania shrieked as the ball of purple fire she held spiraled into a tornado, catching Kazimo with his guard down and trapping him inside a burning wall of fire.
"Grrrrr, you little bitch!"Kazimo yelled, as he powered up dramatically. His ki was enough to shatter the wall of fire and he floated, 50 feet above the arena, arms crossed, glaring down upon his opponents.
He placed his hands together as if performing a Kame-Hame-Ha and his wings opened out. "SERETSUUUUUU-----KIAKU!!!"he yelled. A yellow energy ball formed in his hands and expanded untill it came to the size of a large house.
"Oh shit…"Shastania muttered as she looked up in horror.
"This looks bad…"Trunks muttered, bracing himself for the blast.
Kazimo continued to pump power into his energy ball and it gradually grew larger in size…
"Try this on for size! HYAAAH!!!"Kazimo screamed as he let his energy ball go. With a blinding light, it hurled towards the arena, much to the horror of the two Saiyens.
Shastania ran out in front of Trunks and crossed her arms in front of her face. "GET DOWN!" she screamed at him. He obeyed and flattened himself to the arena floor.
The light of the ball of energy was so intense that Trunks had to duck his head so he would'nt be blinded.
A shrill scream among the explosion alerted him that Shastania was in trouble.
He waited with baited breath……..silence…..then, Kazimo's manical laughter….
Trunks lifted his head and a lump caught in his throat as he saw what lay before him. The biggest crater Trunks had seen in his LIFE was smoking before his eyes and Shastania was no-where to be found.
Oh shit….Trunks thought as he causiously inched towards the crater……………………..
Elsewhere…..
Kayla quickly pulled on her training suit and tied her spikey black hair into a ponytail. She had to help her sister….she just had to….She unlocked the door to the bedroom and ran downstairs, were Vegeta, Goten, and the others had gathered.
"Get ready, guys….we're in for a long battle…"Goten said. Kayla made her presence felt by gently running a hand along Goten's arm.
"Goten…"she said. Goten gave her a reassuring smile."Don't worry. She'll be alright. Alright, everyone, split up and look for Shastania's ki!"he said.
"Who died and made YOU leader, spawn of Katarokk?"Vegeta sneered. Goten folded his arms. "There's no time to debate it, Vegeta…"
"Yes, Vegeta…look, my sister is in serious danger…now that Kazimo has my power, he is more deathly than ever! He will not be easily beaten."said Kayla. She sighed deeply. "Shastania, you always were such an idiot…jumping into battles without thinking first…"she said, sighing frustratedly.
"Wait, Kayla….I don't think it would be a good idea for you to fight…not in your condition."Goten said.
"Goten, I'm fine! I feel well enough. Bulma did a great job of healing me."Kayla said, casting a smile at Bulma, who's ears turned pink.
Goten shook his head and glanced over at his father.
~Should we tell her?~he asked him telepathically.
Goku's brow furrowed. ~Goten, she's gonna find out sooner or later…~
Goten sighed and glanced at Kayla. "Okay, Kayla….don't freak out, but….you're pregnant.."
Kayla's eyes grew wide. Her mouth dropped open in shock."WHAT?! YOU MEAN THAT BASTARD INPREGNATED ME?!?!"she shrieked.
Goten shielded himself."I told you not to freak oooout!"he whined. Kayla gripped the front of Goten's shirt. "Please, Goten..tell me it's not true!"
Goten gazed into her eyes."Sorry…"
"Oh Kami……….."Kayla groaned, suddenly feeling weak and stumbling backwards. Goten quickly pulled his arms around her to stop her from falling.
"I know it's a shock.."he said.
Bulma sighed degectedy."Kayla, before you ask, there's something strange about the zygote you are carrying.."
(A/N: Just so ya know, a zygote is the name for a baby that's in the stage between embryo and foetus. Thank you, 9th grade Bioledgy!)
Kayla stared at her feet. "It's a demon, is'nt it…?"
"Weeell, not exactly…it had abnormal cells, but Saiyen cells too……Kayla, there could be a good chance that your child turns out to be a demon spawn.."said Bulma.
Kayla sighed." This just is'nt my day…"
Vegeta cleared his throat loudly. "Ahem, if you'll shut the hell up, we better get a move on! Who knows what's happening to your sister…."
Kayla nodded. "I'll stay here..let's face it..i'm in no condition to fight.."
"I'll stay with you."Goten said, earning a few raised eyebrows from the Z-Senshi. Kayla shook her head."No, Goten…..they need all the help they can get. Go."she said.
"But.."
"Goten! Kazimo Tair is a lot stronger than you think! It's gonna take everything to stop him!"Kayla said.
Goten chuckled. "Who am I to argue with a Saiyen princess…very well, Madame, I shall do as you command."he said, sounding amused.
"Goten, what are you up to?"Gohan said, sounding amused.
Goten winked. He turned to Kayla. "Just in case I don't come back….." he wrapped his arms around Kayla, held her close and moved his face closer to hers, planting a sweet kiss on her lips.
"…..a kiss to my fair lady."
The rest of the Z-senshi chuckled and wooped. Kayla blushed redder than her sister's hair and giggled."You cheeky monkey! Go! You'll scare the fishes away!"she said, with a chuckle.
Goten smiled and nodded. He waved goodbye as he followed the rest of the fighters out of the door.
Kayla watched them retreat and could distinctively hear Vegeta sarcastically mutter: "The wonders of teenage hormones…."
On the battlefield……
The smoke cleared from the crater and Trunks peered down into the rubble. His stomach churned.
Shastania lay unconcious on the rocks below, bleeding heavily from applauling injurys. Her hair had turned back to red and was matted with scarlet blood. Her eyes were black and blue, she was covered in cuts and bruises and her leg was caught in a weird angle.
"This ends now.."Kazimo Tair's voice caused Trunks to look upwards. Kazimo was getting ready to kill her.
Not if Trunks had anything to say about it.
He out stretched his arms in front of him and aimed up at Kazimo. "SOLAR FLARE!!"he yelled out as a blast of light hit Kazimo, blinding him and buying Trunks enough time to fish Shastania out of the crater and get a safe distance away..
Kazimo rubbed his eyes and growled. "That little shit! If I ever find that fucker, I'll make sure to hurt him so hard his DAD'll be feelin' the pain!"he snarled as he found the arena empty….
Trunks held Shastania close to him. Had she been a meer human, her injurys would have been fatal, but Shastania was a full-blooded Saiyen. She was stronger than a human, stronger than himself, even.
Blood poured from a nasty open wound on his stomach that was so deep Trunks could see her intestines.
"Oh sweet Kami…Shastania…Shastania, can you hear me?!"he cried, gently slapping her face. She felt cold…he tried to find a ki signature, but there was nothing…..
Was she dead?
"Shastnaia! Wake up!"Trunks cried.
But she did'nt move. The colour was slowly draining from her tanned skin, leaving her with a milky white complexion. Trunks pressed two fingers to her neck to feel for a pulse. Nothing. She was gone.
Rain began to fall steadily from deep black clouds over head. They intermingled with tears Trunks did'nt even know he was crying. Shastania was dead because of Kazimo……now, he owed it to Kayla that she would be avenged….
Trunks held Shastania close to him. Although he'd only known her for a day, those few short hours they had spent training together felt like a lifetime. "Shastania…."Trunks whispered, closing his eyes and resting his check atop her head. She was so cold it was as if she had just been thawed from ice.
Trunks looked up at the storm clouds gathering overhead. He brushed his soaking wet hair out of his eyes and let out a cry.
"HELP!!" his voice was hoarse from the tears he silently cried. He looked around, scanning the skys…..in the distance, he could see several blurs coming towards him, but he ignored them…he felt helpless. His army print combats and white tank top were now soaked with crimson blood, clinging to his body.
The blurs got larger as they came nearer.
Trunks closed his eyes. He wished dearly for this all to be a horrible nightmare……
"Trunks!"
Trunks opened his eyes. He looked up. Goten was standing over him, looking worried, his spikey black hair hanging, soaking wet in his face.
"She's…….she's dead.."Trunks said quietly, moving Shastania into Vegeta's outstretched arms.
"Oh sweet, merciful Kami…….."Goten said quietly, as he looked at Shastania, lifeless and unmoving, her skin now the palest of blue, lying limp in Vegeta' arms.
"This Kazimo Tair is not to be underestimated…..we must stop him at all costs….."Piccolo said, bowing his head in respect for the dead warrioress.
Trunks held back a strangled sob as he took one last look at Shastania. He ran a hand through her blood-soaked hair, redder than ever and closed his eyes.
He wanted all this to be over…he wanted it all to end…..
But it was'nt over….no….
It was just beginning………..
