Chapter 20: Unexpected Results
Kat was about to attack when something happened. Her body and Rina's body began to glow. Kat's arms started to fade away.
"What's happening to me?" Kat asked as her body completely faded away.
Everyone stood stunned.
So, she is going to try and defeat me by powering up and using all of her energy. Ha, she makes me laugh, Darius though to himself.
"Um… Reyna, do you know what they heck is going on?" questioned Goten shading his eyes from Rina's glowing body.
"We're…ahhhh…finally joining…together…that means…ahhhh…that they…found…the dragonballs…and made the…wish," Rina struggled to say. Her voice changed and the pain grew stronger every second, and she had trouble moving with out wincing in pain.
The whole light show lasted for what seemed to be ten minutes. When the light had faded, all that was left was someone with longer hair that Rina's but shorter that Katrina's. She was wearing what a Humaikian warrior would in a battle to the finish or their last battle that they might have. Her head was tilted to the ground. She slowly raised her head and opened her eyes. Her eyes had the look of confusion but mostly of fire that seemed to be able to look inside anybody's soul and make you do anything that she wanted. She was staring straight at Darius. Her power level was unbelievable, but Darius seemed to be the powerful one still.
"Now, that you are with us, how can you fight him. The barrier is still up," explained Goten.
"I can't believe you guys are so dumb," she snickered turning her head to her friends with a smile.
"That's not nice, Kat," said Reyna.
"Well, it's true. I thought you would have figured out a way to get around this barrier. It's not the difficult to figure out."
"What are you talking about?"
"Well, isn't it obvious? I'm going to fight Darius," she announced.
"We knew that, but there is no way to get inside of that room," said Reyna.
"Yes, there is. Actually there is two ways to get in." They looked at her interested but confused too. "The first way is that Reyna could fade me in, or I could blow my way in," she explained.
"We tried that, and it didn't work," said Trunks.
"Yeah, but you tried the barrier not the wall."
Each of them had dumbfounded faces and was all thinking the same thing. 'Why didn't I think of that?'
"So, who would like to blow this place up?" she asked with a gleam. No one answered they were still too dumbfounded to speak. "Well, okay, I guess I will."
Her finger started to glow as she brought it down to aim. When she stopped the beam left her finger and hit the wall.
"There we go," she said after the smoke had cleared. "Let's go," she added walking through the hole that she made.
The gang followed behind the cheery Humaik. When they walked through, they noticed Darius and Vesta standing and waiting impatiently for them.
"Finally, I was waiting for you," said Darius coldly. Vesta, on the other hand, was a little confused.
"Katrina, what happened?" she asked.
"Oh, nothing really. Just that Rina and I finally became one again," Katrina replied scratching the back of her head. "Now." She turned toward her foe. "Are you ready?"
"Let's get this started," he said getting into his fighting stance. Let's see if that little trick that she did really made her as powerful as I felt, he thought to himself.
He lunged at her full speed. She squatted down and lunged back toward him. They both collided together, and both landed a punch on one another, before jumping back. They threw ki attacks, punches, kicks and any thing else that they could think of at each other, for what seemed like forever. They had blasted their way through the ceiling and were now out side.
Just when every one thought that Katrina was going to die, Darius' attack started to slow down but not by that much, just enough to make a huge difference.
He dodged one of her ki's just in the nick of time, and jumped up after her with fists ready. He wasn't as fast as he was before; Katrina was able to dodge him with ease, and knocked him down.
"Kat, just get this over with," screamed Reyna.
"Ahhh. Can't I just have a little bit more fun?" she whined.
She was just playing around the whole time? Goten thought to himself watching Katrina fooling around.
"No, just finish him off," Reyna replied.
"Fine. I will. Just hold your horses," Kat said dodging Darius' attack one last time and getting far enough away so that she would be able to power up. "Asah…ini…kezu…tto," she yelled.
When Darius was able to get up, he noticed Katrina powering up. Then a huge bright yellow ki made its way to him. He let out a small chuckle.
"You think that this will finish me off?" he said as the attack got closer.
"Yeap, you see you are not immortal any more," she sneered.
"No, that can't be…" He wasn't able to finish.
The attack engulfed him in a bright yellow light. After Katrina made sure that he was gone, she began to fall to the ground. Goten flew over and caught her.
"Thanks, Goten," she said softly looking up at him.
She gently pushed him away and jumped out of his grip. She landed on her feet then fell to one knee.
"Kat, you should relax," Goten said worried helping her back up.
"No, I have to finish this fight. Vesta will not let me off this easily," she said firmly as she gathered the rest of her strength to stand up.
"I am amazed. You actually have some energy left, but it's just enough to help you stand up. You are going to need a lot more if you plain to beat me," sneered Vesta stepping out of the shadows.
"I have plenty to beat you," spat Katrina to her former friend.
"Kat, wait," said Reyna running over to the wounded girl. "Here take this."
She handed Kat a senzu bean.
"Thank you," Kat said taking the bean.
She lowered herself to her fighting stance glaring over to her traitor with the look of determination. She was about to attack when she felt something or someone coming. She turned to her friends to see if they felt it too. They did. They were all looking over at the same spot. Apparently, Vesta sensed it too but ignored it and attacked Kat catching her off guard. The two began their battle as the other three continued to watch and wait to see what the mysterious energy coming.
There was a flash of light that formed the outline of four people. When the light faded, everyone saw Nefara, Rori, Jane, and Sara standing where the light was. Actually, Rori, Jane, and Sara had landed on the ground. The gravity was too much for them.
"Guys?" questioned Reyna confused.
"Hi," Nefara said help the girls up. "Don't worry, it's only about five times normal gravity, and you should get used to it soon. You are all in excellent conditions."
She sensed the battle going on and a sense of fear began to form in the pit of her stomach. She had the look of a worried mother. Her daughter was getting the crapped kicked out of her. No, this can't be happening. Vesta is the real leader. Katrina, you have to end this now. You can't die again. I will not let that happen, Nefara told herself.
"How long have she been fighting?" asked Nefara in a serious tone.
"I think about a few hours. She did beat Darius though," said Trunks.
"Just as I thought. We have to stop them now," ordered Nefara.
"Why?" asked Rori struggling to stand up, but she and the rest of the girls had slowly started to stay up.
"Vesta is just toying with her. She is much more powerful then she looks," explained Nefara. "I didn't think that Vesta was evil when I brought her to earth. She was an orphan, a powerful I might add. Just like Kat and Reyna, I saved them from the Frylakins. Blocked the girls' powers and memory, and I sent Vesta to a good family, but apparently my husband found her and took my block off and trained her without my knowledge. Everything that he knew she knows," said Nefara bowing her head.
They looked at the battle in awe. Vesta was winning. The fierce blows shook the ground beneath them.
"You see, it's all my fault," she uttered.
"No, it isn't. You didn't know about Vesta," Rori said in a calm voice.
"Yes, but I am suppose to protect my daughter. Not, let her get killed again," she shouted.
"You are but Kat did this on her own free will," Sara added.
"Wait, did I hear you right? Kat was dead before?" asked Goten.
"Yes, when she was a little baby."
"Well, she only died once right?" Nefara nodded. "Well, then we could just wish her back."
"No, we can't," Nefara said.
"Why not? She only died once."
"Yes, but her father placed a curse on her that she could never be revised and that the curse could never be taken off," Nefara cried.
"Kat," he softly said watching the fight again.
