Chapter 21: The Last Effort
Katrina was in her true form fighting Vesta, but she wasn't using all of her energy. She was having some fun first.
"This is getting boring," Vesta said making a fake yawn. "Let's kick it up a little," she suggested.
She started to power up. Causing the earth around her to shake and lose rock floated and danced around her from all of the energy that she was creating. Just when Katrina thought that she was done, Vesta was engulfed in yellow, just like when she turns to her true form, or her human form. As the light faded, what was seen was another Humaik. Katrina started in disbelief and wide eyed.
"Vesta?!" she asked not knowing what to say.
"Yes, it's me. Did I forget to mention that I am a Humaikian too? Oh, I'm sorry," she sarcastically apologized.
She lounged at the distracted Katrina. She hit Kat dead in the chest. Knocking the wind out of her, and then causing her to fall to the earth, five feet away. Before Kat hit the ground, she seemed to disappear.
"No, no, Kat. That little trick isn't going to effect me. I already know how to do that too," Vesta said disappearing too.
The on lookers watched nothing. The two fighters had vanished. They knew that Kat and Vesta must be in a 'time' battle. Well, Rori, Sara, Jane, and Nefara didn't know. Actually, Nefara had an idea what was happening, but she wasn't one hundred percent sure.
"Where are they?" asked Jane.
"They are right here," said Goten.
"Where? I don't see them," asked Sara.
"Don't worry, neither can we. Apparently both of them can control time and that is what they are doing now. It won't be long before we can see them again. It takes a lot of energy to stop time for very long," stated Trunks.
"Oh," Sara said.
Vesta kicked Kat so hard that it caused her to fall and get knocked into 'normal' time. Kat slowly got back up to her feet, and snapped her head to where Vesta was and a grin crept across her lips.
"So, is that how you want to play?" she asked cocky. "Well, I can play too." She began to power up just like Vesta did. When the light faded, Kat's grin was still on her face.
~Kat, don't get too cocky. You don't know what might happen,~ Kat's mother warned her in worried tone, but Kat didn't pay attention to her warning and continued to have her fun.
The two continued to fight like little children having fun, but with kis and real fighting, for over two hours. Both of them starting to get tired of their charades and began fighting for real. Katrina shot kis at Vesta, who just let them hit. When the dust cleared away, Vesta was snickering.
"Is that the best that you can do? Pathetic," she sneered dodging more of Kat's pathetic attempts to hit her with either kis, punches, or kicks.
"Oh, that's what you think, just wait and see," Kat spat continuing with her attacks.
"I've been waiting for a while now, and nothings happening," Vesta replied still dodging her opponents attacks.
She doesn't have a clue what I have been doing, Kat thought to herself. ~Reyna would you like to add your little piece to this now?~ Kat asked Reyna.
~Sure, I hope I have enough strength to through with it,~ Reyna replied to Kat slightly excited.
"Senko-hanabi Ame," Reyna whispered as Katrina shouted in unison.
"Oh, was that suppose to scare me?" Vesta asked in a mock tone. She watched as Kat waved her hands in a circle about her head forming a yellow/ golden halo.
"It should," Kat snickered. "Kisu," she cried throwing her hands from above her down to her side causing the halo to soar above Vesta. The halo suspended above Vesta spinning. Vesta watched laughing at the sight.
"Kisu," Reyna whispered when it began to spin.
The halo then spun faster and faster making a snapping sound like sparklers going off then, it seemed that it was raining a golden ki all around Vesta, eventually surrounding her in a golden light. The kis that Kat shot at Vesta and missed came flying from where they flew off and joined in with the 'gold rain'. Inside the rain, a snicker was replaced by cries out of pain.
The group, but Reyna, watched in awe as Vesta's body was engulfed when the golden rain fell around her, and the other kis came flying out of no where to join with the rain.
Just when they thought that Vesta was done for, the rain grew bigger then seemed to seep into Vesta's skin. She emerged from the attack with only a few cuts and scraps here and there.
"Very good, Kat. You managed to make me tired," Vesta told Kat in a congratulating tone before turning into an angry voice. "But enough child's play." She began to draw the energy that she absorbed into her hand.
~Everyone, I want you to get off of this planet, NOW. And I don't want any of you fighting me. Get out of here. Don't worry, I'll take care of her,~ she sadly said to the group getting ready for Vesta's attack.
The group stood looking at one another worried and confused. They made sure that they weren't hearing anything.
"Kat, No," shouted Goten.
"I SAID, GET OUT OF HERE NOW," she shouted dodging and attack that Vesta let go.
"Awe, that's cute. You want your little friends and mother to be safe," Vesta said in a tone that you would say to a little kid.
Goten and everyone took a step back at her sudden out burst.
"Reyna, do you know what she is thinking of doing?" asked Trunks.
"I think so, but it isn't going to be pretty," Reyna said quietly.
"She wouldn't do that," Nefara stated worried. "That means…"
"Yeap," Reyna plainly stated.
"Well, I know we would love to know what she is planing to do, but before you answer I think that we should listen to her, before she attacks us with that," Sara told them pointing to the ki forming in Kat's hand.
"Yeah," Jane and Rori said together agreeing.
~Goten, I love you, but you all have to go now. I don't want to worry about all of you,~ Kat told Goten then the rest. A tear came to her eye, which she quickly wiped away.
~Okay, be careful,~ he told her.
~Reyna, you know what you have to do. You can stay or leave, either way, you know what will happen,~ she said to Reyna.
"Everyone hold on to someone," Nefara said setting the watch to send them to Earth. Everyone held onto one another before looking one last time to their friend. They quickly vanished after light surrounded them.
Reyna was the only one that stayed. She knew that she was needed.
"Now, that they are safe, you're going down," stated Kat determined. "Reyna, are you ready?" she asked her 'sister'.
"Yes, let's get this over with," she agreed.
Kat and Reyna sent kis fling one after another to Vesta knocking her to the ground and creating a ten-foot hole. When both of them were sure that Vesta wouldn't get up for a few moments, they concentrated all of their ki into one last attack. Their fingers naturally formed into a gun shape pointed to the hole that Vesta was in.
"Oyas…umin…" they started as tears flowing freely now down to their cheeks to the ground. "Asi," they cried. A gold ki shot from the tips of their two fingers to the hole. It reached the core and everything was silent before the ground began to shake. The planet suddenly burst into tiny pieces, destroying anything on it.
Back on at Capsule Corp.
"Daddy, do you feel that?" asked Bra as she stopped playing with Nike.
"Yeah, I wonder what it is," Vegeta said as he sensed something coming.
"BROTHER, GOTEN," Bra screamed running over to her brother and everyone giving them all hugs. "What's wrong? Where's Kat and Reyna?" she asked seeing all of their long faces.
"We don't know. She told us to leave, and Reyna never came," Rori said.
"I think that they are both going to do something horrible," Goten stated.
"So, that's the energy we felt," Vegeta said.
"I guess they both did do it then," Nefara cringed.
(Okay, I'll leave it there. One more chapter and I'll be done. What do you think so far? Sorry, about the fighting, I really don't like writing them that much, I mean I do, but I really haven't been in the mood to write this chapter. I've been working on A Kitty's Quest- YYH fic, the whole time. That's why this took a while to write. Sorry, the last chapter will be up in the next few days or the in the next week. Don't worry it will be up by Christmas.)
