He looks at me in disbelief, the look in his eyes is a mixture of pain, fear and anger. I know him so well I know that he'll figure out how they got the Dragonballs, I curse myself again for having these psychic powers in the first place. He closes his eyes momentarily and opens them again as if wishing I wouldn't be there when he opened them again.
"Veg..." I begin softly using my pet name for him. He holds a hand up to stop me from speaking,
"Is he orbiting Earth?" He asks me. I bite my lip, he could be it only took me a little while to get here... but he could have flown off since then; no he wouldn't have gone without telling me.
"I think so." I reply uncertainly.
"Fine. I'll just shoot him down." He shrugs and searches the sky for any shadow of a ship. Suddenly I remember him... Aries!
"No! You can't!" I say grabbing his hand; he looks at me in utter shock.
"There's someone I care about on there... I don't want him to die." I say. KUSO! I instantly realize my mistake. I said him now Vegeta will assume that I'm attracted to Aries..., which I'm not. My mind starts to wander to the way he looks at me.... that perfect physique.... I snap myself out of my fantasy but its too late Vegeta can smell the lust on me.
"It's not like that Veg," I sigh, Vegeta raises a skeptical eyebrow at me.
"WHAT?!?! IT'S NOT!!! VEGETA!!!" I shout at him angrily to hide my own embarrassment. I fail miserably as he does the same when he gets embarrassed... or lustful, or sad, or tired, or hungry... or.... well anything really... A plan sparks in my mind. I pull my communicator out of one of my many hidden pockets, I slide it to my head and press the com link button and Freeza answers. I have to stop myself from shaking with hatred at his voice.
"Freeza, I'm having a little trouble tracking down the others as their power lever is so low. Could you send the android down here? I just want to complete my mission quickly." I add to gain bonus points.
"Whatever. I'm going to planet Shira in a minute report back when you're done." He replies and the com link closes. I know he'll send Aries, I'm sure he wants this over quickly as well.
"An Android?" Vegeta asks looking at me slightly repulsed at the idea. I know he's just teasing me but I don't like it anyway, I walk away gently elbowing him in the stomach as I go by. I kneel down at the broken body of the unconscious man I had to beat senseless for Freeza. Guilt floods over me, unlike Vegeta I care about hurting people, I try to put myself as far away from Freeza as I can and try to do some good in the universe. Strange as that sounds coming from me, a professional assassin.
"Who is he anyway?" I ask, my question directed to Vegeta.
"Why, do you kill first and ask questions later?" The short man whose name I think was Krillen annoyingly enough that pathetic barb actually hurts. I feel guilty for doing this to a man with kids. And as if I can't feel any worse two boys land on the beach behind me, one a teenager and the other not more than five or so.
"DAD! DAD! Are you ok?! Dad can you hear me?!" The younger one cries out kneeling next to the man who is obviously his father.
"Who did this?" The older one asks, the small bald man looks at me venomously. The teenager stands up and faces me a clear challenge written all over his body. I don't move, I deserve anything he can do to me...
Vegeta
Kakkerot's eldest brat jumps up but Soph doesn't react she just looks at him, her pain clear in her eyes. He moves to attack her, I'm sure she will react at the last moment and stop him hitting her but it still takes a lot self-restraint to stop myself jumping in. He punches her under her jaw with a mean uppercut, I see her jaw slam shut and blood escapes her mouth. I'm in shock, how could she not stop him? Her expression tells me she didn't want to. He advances towards her again but I have to jump in a save her.
"Back off." I growl, this unruly pathetic excuse for a Saiya-jin descendant should obey his prince but he attempts to get past me, I instantly squash this idea by kicking him in the stomach. I sense rather than feel her flinch behind me, she feels guilty enough about the damage she has done already. I turn to her and I see her mouth open to the question I don't want to hear.
"He's a third-class warrior, he killed Freeza the first time." I barely manage to utter the last bit. To let her see me fail is unacceptable. She frowns, not comprehending the possibility that anyone could be a better fighter than me, I smile slightly; her faith in her me heart warming but unjustly placed.
"You mean you...." She trail off accepting what I say for the absolute truth, she must think it was some ploy of mine to trick Freeza but it is far from the truth. Soph walks over to the unconscious Saiya-jin and holds her hand out above him. Gold light glitters down on him and his wounds fade and disappear, his eyes open and his face instantly reverts to his annoyingly ignorant expression.
"I'm sorry, but I need your help to defeat Freeza." She goes on to explain the situation to the assembled "Z-fighters" Feh, stupid name, stupid people.
She's sitting in my arms waiting for her android, her black tail is flicking in the sand of the beach, she's in a semi-awake sate, on her guard but still resting. I can't help but stare at her, she's changed so much since I last saw her. I note a small cut on her cheek I absently lick it clean and she purrs softly and wraps her tail around my waist. the turtle hermit is watching her with interest I bet he would kill to be in my place right now, I stop in mid-lick and glare at him he looks away but I know it will not last long. Pervert.
I try and sense if she has any injuries, yes, one broken rib but it's already healing. I tug her specialized body armor off of her (luckily for her she's wearing a top underneath). I hold my hand over her injury and send energy in it for her to heal faster.
"Oh man wait till Bulma hears he has a Sayian girlfriend." That Bakka Yamcha says to the short cue ball like man.
"She's my sister you asshole!" I scream at him jolting Soph awake. He wouldn't understand, she was my conscience, my hope, and my soul; how could he possibly know what it was like to see your twin sister after all these years.
He looks at me in disbelief, the look in his eyes is a mixture of pain, fear and anger. I know him so well I know that he'll figure out how they got the Dragonballs, I curse myself again for having these psychic powers in the first place.
