Two Sisters
Chapter 2
As the blast got larger in front of Sorano's hand, Usagi appeared from behind her sister and grinned devilishly when she saw Piccolo. She started to create a ki blast of her own.
"So, what do you plan to do with me?" Piccolo asked warily.
"You'd make a wonderful slave if we were still working for Frieza," Sorano answered plainly.
"Kill 'em, Sorano!" Usagi cried.
The blast got bigger.
"You wanna fight? Well, let's fight," Piccolo threw a small ki blast at Sorano.
Sorano quickly cancelled her blast that she was preparing and easily deflected Piccolo's oncoming blast. Suddenly, Piccolo appeared in front of her. As hard as he could, he punched both Sorano and Usagi, knocking them back. Usagi was quicker getting on her feet than her sister.
"You'll pay for that, you lowly Namek!"
"Lowly? Here on Earth, everybody is equal," Piccolo delivered a kick to the young girl's side, sending her sideways.
Before Piccolo knew it, Sorano was behind him. Taking this chance, Sorano quickly wrapped her hands around Piccolo's throat and began to choke him. Piccolo couldn't reach back behind him and grab her. Every time he tried, she tightened her grip around his neck. Finally, Piccolo dropped down to his knees, desperately trying to pull Sorano off of his back and get some air in his lungs.
"C'mon, Namek! Don't make this hard on yourself! Give up!" Sorano suddenly tightened her grip to its maximum. Piccolo attempted to scream, but nothing but raspy sound came out.
"Sorano! You've got 'em! Keep him there! I'll finish him off!" Usagi prepared a ki blast.
Piccolo looked up, his faced pale from the lack of air. Under his eyes, a shade of blue could be seen.
No! This is it! They really want to kill me! Piccolo thought as his vision started to darken.
He was fainting. Suddenly, Goku and the others showed up.
"Hey, you! Let him go!" Goku shouted.
"It's Kakarot, the Saiyan that we heard a lot about from Vegeta! It's a pleasure to meet you! Sir, how would you like for us to deal with this Namek?" Sorano greeted.
"LET HIM GO!" Goku was seething with anger now.
Piccolo finally fell forward, unconscious.
"PICCOLO!" Gohan shouted. Quickly, he rushed over to his unconscious friend.
Sorano looked at Gohan like he was crazy. Usagi looked at Piccolo's still form. Then she looked at Goku. Suddenly, Vegeta appeared, his mouth agape with surprise.
"SORANO! USAGI! You're still alive?" Vegeta looked at the two sisters.
"VEGETA! Awww! We can't believe it!" Sorano exclaimed.
"HEELLOO! Look at what they did to Piccolo!" Gohan shouted. Piccolo was starting to come around.
Gohan shook him gently. Piccolo's eyes opened.
"Hey, Piccolo. Are you okay?" Gohan asked Piccolo's slightly dazed form.
"Yeah, I think so," Piccolo rubbed his throat. He quickly jumped up into a fighting stance when he saw Sorano and Usagi.
"Get back, Vegeta! They're dangerous!" Piccolo warned Vegeta.
"Shut up, Namek! We won't hurt Vegeta, but I'm sure he'd love it if we killed you," Usagi replied smartly.
"There will be no killing. The Namek is… my slave," Vegeta declared as he walked over and pushed Piccolo backwards.
Piccolo hit his back on a wall of a cliff. Sorano looked at Vegeta.
"Well, Sir, he didn't say anything about being a slave to you, Your Majesty," Sorano said.
"Well, these girls certainly know how to treat a prince," Vegeta placed his hand on Sorano and Usagi's head.
"Vegeta! You got some nerve calling Piccolo your slave! These two almost killed him!" Krillin exclaimed.
"Be quiet, baldy! You are in no position to be telling me what to do!" Vegeta was angry.
"Way to go, cousin," Sorano said loudly.
"Cousin?" Piccolo repeated.
"Duh! Vegeta didn't tell you he had far off relations in space?" Usagi was now standing next to Vegeta.
"No, he didn't. I think you're telling a big story," Goku cut in before anyone else could answer.
"They're not telling a story, Kakarot. They are my cousins. They are of royal blood farther down the line," Vegeta explained.
"Why didn't we see you on Namek, then?" Krillin directed toward Sorano.
"Because, while you were fighting Frieza, Usagi and I were on a different planet with his father and brother," Sorano answered.
"I see. Well, what are you two doing here?" Goku, once again, cut in.
"We ran away from Frieza because he wanted to turn us into his personal slaves," Usagi said sorrowfully.
"No one should've had to live the kind of lives that we were going to live," Sorano put her hand on Usagi's shoulder.
"Why weren't you killed in the first place when Frieza attacked planet Vegeta?" Goku asked.
"Because, when he attacked, we were the strongest girls on the planet. He took us in and trained us and helped us become stronger. For that, we are grateful. But, when Frieza and Cooler attempted to make love with us, we knew we had to get away from there. We had heard of a planet called Earth, so we plotted a course for Earth and so here we are," Sorano explained.
"Well, you two have definitely been through a lot. Why don't you go with Vegeta and stay with him?" Goku suggested. "That is, if it's okay with you, Vegeta."
"Huh, fine with me," the Saiyan prince smirked.
"Let's go then. We're kinda tired, and that little scuffle with that Namekian slave of Vegeta's took a little energy away from us," Sorano said on purpose.
"I am not Vegeta's slave!" Piccolo exclaimed.
"If Vegeta says you are, then you are," Usagi smarted.
"Usagi, c'mon. He's not worth our time," Sorano and the others took off after Goku, Vegeta, and Krillin.
Gohan stayed with Piccolo, making sure he was going to be all right.
"Piccolo? Are you okay?" Gohan finally asked.
Piccolo looked at Gohan and replied quietly, "Yeah. I'll be alright."
"That was wrong what Vegeta called you. I just want to punch his face in!" Gohan said angrily.
"Shake it off, kid. Don't worry about it. I've been called worse," Piccolo dropped down to his knees.
"PICCOLO! What's wrong?!" Gohan put his hands on Piccolo's shoulders.
"Yes, I'm fine. I just haven't gotten my strength back, yet," Piccolo grabbed onto a nearby boulder and pulled himself up.
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"YES! How many times are you gonna ask?" Piccolo was annoyed.
"Sorry! I just care about you! You can't blame me for that, can you?" Gohan stared at the ground.
"No, I guess not. I'm just… I guess I'm a little hurt."
"What? What do you mean?"
"As far as my feelings go. Being called a slave. And getting beaten by those two girls."
"I'll protect you, Piccolo, you know that don't you?"
Piccolo looked at Gohan.
"I will, honest. In fact, a few days ago, some kids in town were making fun of you. They started to make fun of me when I told them that you were my friend, but I didn't care. I stood up for you," Gohan put his hand on Piccolo's shoulder.
"Thanks, Gohan. I appreciate that," Piccolo turned his head as he spotted Goku coming.
"Hey! Gohan! Piccolo! C'mon, let's go!" Goku called cheerfully.
"I better be going," Gohan took to the air.
"See ya, kid," Piccolo took to the air and flew in the opposite direction.
When he arrived at his cave, he was greeted by Sorano and Usagi. They didn't look too happy. What had he done now to make them angry? If they fought again, would he be able to hold his own?
"What are you two doing here? I thought you went with Vegeta," Piccolo stood straight and alert.
"You're supposed to be going with Vegeta. You're his slave," Sorano said hatefully.
"I am not a slave! Especially to that arrogant prince!" Piccolo was seething with anger.
"You fool! If Vegeta says you are a slave, then you are as he calls you," Usagi was apparently more aggressive than Sorano.
"That's right. Vegeta always tells the truth," Sorano stated.
Piccolo rolled his eyes.
"Apparently you two don't know him very well. Vegeta is not an honest person."
"Take that back!" Usagi began to power up.
"Usagi, calm down. We've got to work on controlling your anger. Anyways, this Namek is too weak to even put up a good fight," Sorano laughed.
Piccolo growled as he started to power up.
Calm down, Piccolo. Don't let them get to you. Shake it off; shake it off, Piccolo told himself mentally.
"What's the matter, Namek? Cat got your tongue?" Usagi joined in on the taunting.
"I bet you don't even know how to fight! You're so weak, that even a leave landing on you would make you cry!" Sorano continued to taunt.
"Good one, Sorano!" Usagi smiled devilishly as she saw Piccolo scowl and shake from anger.
"You two… are asking for it," Piccolo was on the very edge of pure, all out rage.
"Hahahaha!" Sorano laughed at Piccolo's statement. "You even try attacking us and you're as good as dead!"
Piccolo didn't know how much more of this he could take. He was angry. Very angry.
"C'mon, Namek. You look like you're fixing to do something. Let's see it," Sorano motioned for Piccolo to come fight.
"Come on. Come do something. Unless you're a little chicken boy," Usagi turned her back to Piccolo and began to wave her tail in mockery.
"THAT'S IT! I'VE HAD IT WITH YOU!" Piccolo charged and before Sorano or Usagi could react, he was on them.
Piccolo threw a few punches and then kicked the girls in their stomachs. They, in turn, began to fight back, but they were no match for the angry Namek. Piccolo was letting his anger get the best of him. He punched, kicked, and fired ki blasts at the two girls until they were unable to defend themselves.
"Had enough, yet?" Piccolo asked the two girls in mockery.
"YOU! You're gonna be so sorry that you ever attacked us!" Sorano and Usagi left Piccolo to return to Capsule Corporation.
Piccolo watched them go. He was breathing heavy from the rage that was still in him, but he was not tired. He clenched his fist until he drew blood from the palms of his hands. He then began to wonder what he had just did. If Sorano and Usagi showed up at Capsule Corporation beat up and bloody, he would be facing Vegeta's wrath.
Suddenly, he didn't care. He could survive. If Vegeta killed him, he wouldn't have to listen to those two girls anymore. And Goku would surely stand up for him, wouldn't he? He knew Gohan would. That boy always saw the good in Piccolo's heart. If he were permitted to live, would the others forgive him for what he did to Sorano and Usagi? He seriously hoped they would forgive him.
