Leiko's memories

Trunks looked at his father again, "dad? Are you sure???"

Vegeta got angry, "DO I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING MYSELF!!!!!!" He swiftly smacked trunks across the face and charged at Leiko. She promptly dodged.

"my prince? I don't understand??? What are you-ahh!!"

Vegeta charged again, "fight back! Or are you so much like you're father that you can't?"

Leiko looked up at Vegeta with an utter defiance in her eyes. No one spoke badly of her father like that not even the prince.

"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT! MY FATHER FOUGHT BRAVELY IN BATTLE! AND UNLIKE YOU HE DID IT HIMSELF!!!!!!"

Vegeta raised an eyebrow, "then don't fail him. show that weak excuse of a sayjian that he did something right in giving you an existence."

Leiko's eyes began to flicker a small hint of gold.

"stop it. Stop it right now!!!!!!!"

Vegeta observed her with interest. So he decided to keep pushing her.

"why should I? Is it because I speak of the truth , and you the spawn of a weakling couldn't handle it??"

inside Leiko was struggling. She couldn't control it. The last thing her father had told her was to never let her power take over. Always control it. And now something deep inside was awakening. All the anger and disappointment was building. The shame of being an orphan . the shame of being cast away by all. To be thrown into a space pod and watching as her mother and father were held back, her fists pounded uselessly against the sphere shaped ship. And watching as her two parents fought and fought and got smaller and smaller as she was blasted off into an endless void of stars and planets. And after 10 long years, she went back to Frieza's base and found that her mother died the day she left because she suffered a fatal wound in trying to protect her. And her dear father was sent to earth and said to be missing. Then Frieza's brother attempted to capture her to be one of his many occupines. She just couldn't hold it in any longer.

Vegeta continued. He wanted to see how long it took until she broke.

"and I take it that his weakness was passed down to you? Oh well. I'm sure you'll end up like him soon. dead!!!!!!"

that was it. Leiko couldn't take it. Her eyes rolled in the back of her head and her long hair began to flicker a glowing yellow. A great aura surrounded her and she began to scream in mixed pain and anger.

This power, she thought, it's-it's too much!

Vegeta grinned up at her. He would enjoy this.

"very nice Leiko but you're not the only one who has the ability to transform!"

Leiko couldn't hear. She was screaming as her muscles contracted and grew. Her body was not built to contain so much energy. She began to lose control and energy blasts began to shoot in all directions. "help me! Please- help- meeeeeeeee!!!!!!"

Vegeta laughed at her, "really now how do you expect to be a true sayjin if you can't control your power?"

Goku looked of into the distance, "that- that power." It was so familiar. yet distant. what was it???

"dad?"

Goku turned toward his eldest son, "yes Gohan, I feel it too." Gohan nodded grimly, " yeah. Who the heck is it?? It's too weak to be Vegeta and it's too strong to be trunks."

Goku looked back. A thought striking him, "Gohan, tell me, doesn't that power seem vaguely familiar??"

"dad???"

"no really. Think way back. I think I know who it is but."

"but what dad?" Gohan was beginning to get concerned.

Goku looked back again, "Raditz." he whispered.

Leiko woke up. There was shouting. Suddenly her father rushed in.

"dad???"

"Leiko! Quick there is no time to explain! You have to hurry now!!!!"

Raditz grabbed Leiko by the hand, " dad! I don't get."

" shut up and get in here!" he shoved her in a pantry that was empty.

"I know that you don't understand but you just have to be quiet no matter what happens. Don't come out unless I take you out understand???"

Leiko nodded. And her father closed the door.

Not long after she heard shouts again.

"Get your sorry pile of scales out of here Burter!!!!!!!"

Leiko opened the door ajar and saw Burter and Jeice step in. soon followed by Recoome and Guldo.

"now now," Burter stated, "there is no reason to get so rash. All we want to do is search your home for that brat of yours. now step aside monkey." Raditz stood firm.

"I have no idea what you mean."

"you know exactly what we mean you twit! Now step aside or we'll have to take extreme measures."

"go ahead and hit me all you want. I don't know what you are saying."

"hit you??" Burter smiled, "oh no. we wouldn't hit you. What fun would that be??"

"actually, I wouldn't mind beatin this little rat up. I think he could really use some knock out therapy."

"oh be quiet Recoome. You'll get your chance soon enough. Now where were we??? Aah yes I remember." Burter stepped aside revealing a slim but strong figured female saiyjin warrior. The very last of her kind (besides Leiko of course.) she had green eyes and long jet black hair. Her tail lashed back and forth in complete and utter anger. Her emerald eyes burned in a mix of fear and anger.

"Kin-!" Raditz gasped and then caught himself quickly, "how dare you think that I am associated with this woman???"

Burter grinned again, "oh, I don't know. Perhaps it's because of the way you almost said her name. Or maybe even that she gave birth to your child which you still need to give to us. So step aside and let us search or we will hurt your dear kinko."

Raditz's eyes shifted toward the two minions of freezia as the ginyu force all stepped inside his house. The two that were holding kinko had both put one of their hands on her hip ready to blast her if need be. Kinko was not known to many. She was freeza's property. Raditz just happened to bump into her when she was running an errand for her keeper. He saw her tail and he knew. They had then decided to meet again in the same place. And it had gone on from there. ^-^v

Leiko watched in terror as the four tore up her house. They were getting closer and closer to her hiding spot.

"hey guys. I have an idea." Guldo gathered up the other three and began to whisper in their ears. They all cackled and began to leave the house. Leiko sighed. She didn't know what they were doing but at least they were gone.

Raditz almost sighed as well when he saw them walking out of his house. But his relief was soon smashed to bits when Burter grinned and said, "well we didn't find a kid in there so we decided that it would be nice if we cleared this place . besides we need the room."

Kinko's eyes got wide. Raditz stepped forward, "no. these are my quarters and I want to hear freeza say that it's okay before you do that."

Guldo smiled, "oh, that really doesn't matter. We know what freezia's answer would be any way."

He grinned again and created a fire in his hand, "we don't want to damage other quarters so we light them on fire. It also saves this planet from being blasted to bits."

Guldo put his hand on the house and it immediately was shrouded in flames.

Leiko heard screams of her mother as smoke began to drift into the room. She began to cough uncontrollably.

"no," she said to herself, "father said don't leave unless he comes to get me. Father said."

her voice was drowned in a fit of coughs. The smoke was beginning to choke her and the heat of the fire was almost unbearable.

"father said."

"LEKO!!!!" Raditz ran into the room. Leiko could hear the flames greet him as they were fed more air.

"Leiko! Where are you???"

Leiko tried to utter out anything but a cough, "here." She gasped, "dad."

Raditz's ash streaked face appeared. Concern and worry was spread all over it under the ash.

"Leiko. it's all right. It'll be okay." He soothed her with his rough yet assuring voice and soon they were both out of the enflamed house.

Leiko's mother broke free of the two captorers and hugged Leiko close. Her embrace was soon broken when Burter tore Leiko apart from her mother. Leiko whimpered as she felt his scaly hand upon her midriff. His hot breath and sweaty body just added to her terror. She looked up into his glowing red eyes and quickly looked away as he bared his teeth at her. They were led to frieza's throne room. Kinko was being kept under close guard. And Raditz growling and grumbling to himself.

"aah look. It's the family of monkeys here to visit. How quaint." Leiko looked up at the figure before her. Small choking cries uttering from her mouth.

Frieza looked down at her with slight interest and amusement.

"ahh I see. This must be the little one. Bring her here Burter."

"Yes master Frieza."

Burter pushed Leiko forward as he walked up to his lord. Frieza gave Leiko a bemused smirk as he watched her trembling figure begin to give way before him.

"oh come now. You don't think I would hurt a little monkey would you???" Frieza reached out a hand to stroke her right cheek and as soon as his finger made contact with her skin she brought down her teeth upon his hand.

"OOOOWWWW! YOU STUPID."

he threw her down and she landed in a crumpled heap on the floor directly in front of him. he examined his tooth marked hand and glared at Leiko.

"you'll pay for that. Nobody, not even little monkeys bite me and get away with it."

He rose his finger in her direction and a small bit of energy began to concentrate on the tip of it. Kinko cried out and made fast work of Frieza's two minions and rushed forward.

Leiko closed her eyes as she waited for the beam to hit her square in the heart but it didn't come.

She opened them again and saw her mother lying next to lifeless on the floor.

"stupid monkey." Frieza put down his finger with a very sour expression on his face. Kinko slowly began to rise again with much pain in her face. Raditz rushed to her side.

"this will not go unpunished." Frieza stated, "Burter. You know what to do."

Leiko was quickly thrown into a space pod and locked in. she could hear muffled shouts coming from outside where her mother and father were fighting to get to her. She began to scream and pound on the glass of the pod. And her two parents began to grow smaller and smaller with the roar of the ship and she was soon engulfed in an endless void of stars.
