Consciousness of the Heart
Chapter Eleven A Sayain Does Not Need A Heart *************************************************************
"No one tells me what to do." Vegeta growled as he got to his feet.
"Well I did and you just did what I told you to do." Sano pointed out.
Vegeta blinked, "Damn!" He cursed under his breath.
Sano tried to stop the smirk, but it pressed her lips as her eyes glinted.
"We have to wait before we can do the fusion again." Goku said as he felt his muscles scream from the exertion.
"I never agreed to that!" Vegeta yelled.
"We don't have any other choice, I can't beat him alone, you can't beat him alone, and we couldn't even beat him together." Goku said.
"I will not!" Vegeta shouted.
"From what I heard, you don't have to fight him; you just need the girl to take control of her body again." Sano said.
"I tried that, apparently she wants this to happen, or Radditz has forced her," Gohan spoke up. *************************************************************
Radditz growled as he stood up.
The girl could hear the voices, and she was starting to fight back. *************************************************************
'Let me go!' Pepper screamed into the darkness.
'I don't want to kill them; I don't want to kill anyone!' She yelled helplessly.
There were tears in her eyes as she wiped at the blood on her cheek.
'Radditz!' She screamed out, trying to get the sayain's attention. *************************************************************
"A soul cannot take over an entire body, there has to be one place that Pepper remains." Lacey spoke up.
"So if we find out where Pepper is..." Gohan started.
"Then we should be able to find a way to bring her back out." Sano finished.
"What is the one thing that a soldier like Radditz does not need in a fight?" Lacey asked.
Goku shrugged and looked at Gohan.
"Heart." Vegeta spoke up.
"What?" Lacey asked, raising her eyebrow.
"He said a heart." Sano snapped.
Lacey narrowed her eyes and glared. *************************************************************
'What are you doing to me?!' Pepper screamed again.
'Please let me go!' She cried out faintly and sank down.
'Stop being such a baby!' Her mother's voice called out.
'Huh?' Pepper asked as she looked around wiping her eyes.
'That's all you ever do, you just give up and cry.' The voice called out again.
Pepper shook her head violently.
'Quit being so givey-uppey and do something about it!' Her mom yelled.
'Just...go away!' Pepper screamed. *************************************************************
Radditz powered up and forced Pepper down deeper into the darkness.
Powering up a blast, he lurched out his hand and sent it flying. *************************************************************
The small group of five was too busy discussing ways of bringing Pepper back, when a small but powerful blast of ki interrupted them...
"Sakura!" Lacey shouted out.
Sano blinked, there was a shot of light and her knees gave out.
"Radditz!" Goku yelled angrily.
Swiftly, Gohan caught her before she hit the ground and laid her out gently.
"Can you heal her?" Gohan asked looking up at Lacey.
"I've already performed the task, it is useless. Only a sorceress stronger than I can heal these types of wounds." Lacey shook her head, letting her blonde curls fall out.
"I know someone who can." Gohan said, lifting Sano into his arms.
"Hold on." He warned and took off, towards Dende's Lookout. *************************************************************
"I need to make a call, you two hold him off for a few minutes, and I know someone who can help." Lacey instructed walking back into the plane.
"Easier said than done." Vegeta growled. *************************************************************
"Dende!" Gohan shouted, landing on the ledge of the Lookout.
"Hello Gohan." Dende greeted.
"I need your help, she's hurt." Gohan said laying Sano down.
"I will try." Dende said as he kneeled down next to her side. *************************************************************
"I need a favor." Lacey said into the phone.
You need to get here as soon as possible; you need to perform a containing spell." She said and hung her phone up. *************************************************************
Sano opened her eyes.
"Am I in hell?" She asked, looking up into the face of a green man with antennas.
"You are on the lookout." Dende answered.
"My name is Dende, what is yours?" He smiled.
"Sano." She said sitting up.
"What the hell happened to me and what the hell is a Lookout?" Sano asked, alarmed.
"You were shot by Radditz, I brought you here and Dende healed you." Gohan explained.
"Ok, I'll ask one more time, what the hell is a Lookout?" She asked raising her voice.
"I'm afraid that would be giving away too much information." Dende said.
"Buddy you have no idea who you are messing with, I have so many connection I could have you fired with a flick of my wrist." Sano growled, grabbing Dende by his shirt front.
"I...I..." Dende stuttered.
"Tell me now." Sano said, tightening her grip.
"I am the guardian of your earth." Dende answered.
"Oh...you're Dende...the Dende!" Sano suddenly realized.
"My grandmother told me about you." Sano said letting him go.
"Who is your grandmother?" Dende asked, relieved.
"Baba." Gohan answered. *************************************************************
Goku and Vegeta were now charged up to Super Sayain, both attacking.
They had regained their old injuries and more.
Blood was clotting their vision and their muscles were giving out.
"I can barely stand up." Goku said as he tried to lift himself off the ground.
"I will not be defeated!" Vegeta shouted as he leaned up, struggling to lift himself off the dirt.
"Pathetic, over powered by an Elite warrior." Radditz sneered.
"You never were going to honor our people. The only reason your father gave you up was because he knew you would be a failure. And you are, look at you. You gave up all chances to live here, on earth and become weak." Radditz snarled in anger.
Vegeta had betrayed all of his people, even when they had served under Freeza, he had known the whole time that Freeza had destroyed their planet, and yet he did nothing. He never honored their people; he took his title and lived like a spoiled brat. *************************************************************
"Hurry!" Lacey called out, wringing her hands together.
"Hold your horses, you have no idea how hard this thing is to steer." A voice said from behind her.
"Thank-you for coming Grandma Baba." Lacey said.
"Now, what is going on here?" Baba asked impatiently.
"Goku and Vegeta are too weak to destroy Radditz physically; I need you to perform a containment spell so we can get a hold of Pepper and draw her out." Lacey explained.
"I thought I taught you how to do a containment spell?" Baba asked.
"No, you never did." Lacey said looking down at her black heels.
"Whose fault was that?" Baba asked.
"Mine." Lacey said.
"Good, I will help." Baba agreed. *************************************************************
Phew...thanks for all of your wonderful support and in not yelling at me for misspellings.
Actually you all have been so helpful in assuring me that there are so many different ways to spell 'Radditz'!
Now you all understand why I named it 'Consciousness of the Heart'. But I have a small confession to make, I posted this story without figuring out what I intended to do with it, so all of this has been played out by ear! Review!!!
