Her limbs were huddled tightly against her body. That damn prince....
Oh it was /so/ very heavy... Leiko breathing was very labored. What did
he have against her? It wasn't fair... she looked at the red digitized
words that were flashing in her dark eyes with all their crimson
glory, "300x"
She should have never come here... her eyes scanned the room... there was
the door... and how was it that the prince had managed to increase the
gravity... there had to be a button of some sort...

"Okay," Leiko heaved, "let's see if I can do this..." Struggling, she
put her hand on the wall and pushed up against it to shift her body in
a sitting position. She sat back panting, mildly pleased with her
success...

"Now, that... wasn't... too hard," she voiced to herself as she proceeded
with her ordeal of standing. Leiko stood up against the wall, her
legs trembling their warning to give way. After about two toiling
steps she was drenched in sweat and breathing profusely.

"No," she gasped, "I... can't... ugh..." she fell to one knee. Her limbs
felt as though they had been replaced with 6-ton lead weights. This
made no sense to Leiko... the prince could turn into a super-saiyen... so
could she... but he was able to walk out of the room without batting an
eye... so why couldn't /she/?

"Maybe he's right..." she breathed gravely. "Maybe my father was weak...
like me..."
Weakness...What a profound meaning it held... It alone could make you feel
the way it meant... just when it was said. Thinking about it made her
feel small and insignificant.

"Father forgive me," she whispered up at the ceiling with her eyes
closed, "I can't walk to a damn button... let alone avenge your death..."

Wait a minute... his DEATH!

It hit her all of a sudden... Her father was killed on earth... she was
sure of that... but surely no /earthling/ could have killed him... perhaps
he wasn't the strongest of his race... but he wasn't /that/ weak. The
only option was that some sort of outside force from this planet
killed him, or it was another saiyen... and there were only 5 that lived
on this planet. Three of them were half-saiyens and were too young at
the time... that left the prince and Goku... Goku seemed to be too much of
a gentle buffoon to kill his own brother... and surely the prince
wouldn't destroy one of his own followers, would he?

"This is what I came to earth for right?" she thought to herself. "To
find out who killed him and then decide what to do... now I just have to
suck it up and get out of here..." with her original resolve restored
she stood up faltering slightly. The controls were at least ten
steps away. Her goal seemed so far. She took three steps. Each
filled with determination. Leiko's mind was on the brink of revenge.
Killing him would do next to nothing. But her father's spirit would
be able to rest knowing that his own blood had avenged him.

"It's one of those two that killed him," she thought, "both of them
are terribly strong and experienced warriors... I need to be strong..."
((excuse the corniness... I'm trying to keep it at a low level...XD))

Two more steps until her destination... just two more... two more steps
closer to revenge... sweet, beautiful, revenge... the most satisfying
maiden you can make love to... ((LOL sorry bout that. XD. Good
comparison no?))

"Dendei-sama wants to see you," Goku explained to Leiko as they walked
out of the Capsule Corp. building.

"Dendei-sama?" Leiko asked.

"Yes... since you're not leaving earth anytime soon then he needs to know a
few things..."

Leiko stopped, "What do you mean by 'anytime soon' ?"

Goku scratched the back of his head, "well... for one thing bulma is a
little pissed off at you for the other night... it might be a while for her
to get over it."

Leiko sighed in response, "right... very well..." she smirked to herself and
muttered under her breath in an inaudible voice, "that gives me more of a
reason to stay then to avenge him..."

They began to take off and Leiko was gathering up the courage to ask him
if he knew who killed Raditz. But her courage seemed to slip from her
arms and disappear like her hopes for revenge.
