Chapter 7 - Vivta's Story
Vegeta scowled at her. This was not his sister, could not be his sister. She looked far too young. Vivta was only three years younger then him. This girl looked old enough to be one of Bra's friends. She watched him, silently, leaning against a tree. They were alone at the moment, but he had no doubt they were being watched. That saiyan named Daikon was watching, from his new perch on the house. His eyes were almost dangerous. Vegeta glared at him, before turning his gaze back to his, supposed sister.
"Vivta died long ago."
Vegeta said coldly.
"Yes,"
the young woman said almost sadly
"I did die that day, I suppose, but not physically."
Vegeta's eyebrows narrowed.
"I'd almost expect at least a hug from you, Geta,"
that nick name again, his little sister always called him that..
"but, I suppose working for Freiza did it's toll on you too, eh?"
She sounded some what upset. Vegeta frowned at her and then said
"Tell me, if you are my sister, then what-"
"Geta, I'm not going to play memory games with you. I had that almost totally removed by,"
She seemed to decide against telling him something. Instead, she changed the subject, slightly
"What happened to you? I thought you had died as well, but the Nameks said you were alive."
Vegeta was silent, but replied almost angrily
"I was taken to Freiza's ship, then he destroyed Vegeta-Sei, and everyone on it. Now, what happened to you?"
Vivta had gone slightly pale.
"I was on his ship too, but..."
She trailed off, looking towards where Daikon sat, across the yard, still watching from his perch on the roof.
"But? Tell me, girl."
That got a reaction. Vivta scowled at him. It was deffinatly a family trait
"Fine. Soliders came to take me away from the palace. Father knew Freiza wanted us both, we were special, I suppose. Some of Freiza's elite's interveined, and took me to his ship. I was locked in a room that had complete view of Vegeta-Sei. They wanted me to watch it, Geta."
She spoke coldly, anger filling every word.
"It wasn't enough either, you know. They took me after that to what looked like a medical facility, in Freiza's accursed ship. I didn't know what was happening. They removed my tail, so I would be no threat. After giving me several injections, I woke up a few months later. Would you believe that Freiza wanted eternal youth? His scientists were trying to figure a way to do it. I'm an expiriment, Brother."
Lifting a hand, and gesturing towards Daikon, she continued, all the while, Vegeta kept a blank look on his face
"He was there too. Same age I was. It worked better on me, though. I have aged a bit since I turned nineteen; while he ages slowly.. I don't even know how many years have passed since then. By the time they were ready to give Freiza the finished result, Freiza had discovered something about dragonballs on some planet, he wanted imortality instead. Years of injection, torture, and just plain hell, and he just lost interest."
Pure hatred filtered Vivta's voice. Vegeta looked a little grim.
"Captain Ginyu himself was told to do away with me. It had been clear that no other warrior was strong enough, not even when I was out cold. Before Ginyu could kill me, though, while I slept on my cot, Rikon stopped him."
Her voice almost seemed to crack. Looking up sharply to where Daikon now stood, ready to come over, Vivta glared at him. Could he hear from this far away? Vegeta was silent, then spoke
"You don't have to continue, if you don't want."
Vivta laughed, and continued
"Why not? I've already killed the idiot."
It was almost said in a whisper. When Vegeta didn't reply, she continued
"You see, Geta, I'm the only female saiyan alive, anywhere. Rikon thought he could, persuade me to be his mate. I refused, and we got into a fight. He nearly killed me.
"My friend Yiko, who had been sent to another planet as well, had been brought back to work for Freiza, against his wishes. He saw the end of the fight, got to me first, and told Rikon I was dead. He was able to get me to a regenoration tank on time, during the night, and I lived. My strength was increased of course, and I guess, at the time, I might've been able to kill Rikon."
Vivta paused, looking at Vegeta, waiting for him to say something
"He wasn't a super saiyan at the time."
Vegeta stated. Vivta nobbed, and said quietly
"And neither was I."
Vegeta looked her in the eyes, and said
"Continue."
Nobbing, Vivta continued.
"Yiko brought me news of Daikon once he had me safely hidden in his appartment. Daikon was also an expieriment, as I told you, and had to be desposed of as well. Once Yiko left, to get me dinner, I left his little 'home' and searched for Daikon everywhere, tyring not be seen. I found him, and hardly just in time. Rikon was there, fighting him."
Vivta's voice turned cold
"Daikon had been my only friend for practically my whole life, I wasn't about to stand aside while he got killed."
Vegeta's eyes almost darted to the firey haired saiyan who had moved a bit closer, and now sat in a tree. Vivta smiled at Vegeta and said
"If you're wondering why he has red hair, it's because of the expiriments. Some chemicals didn't go very well with him."
Vegeta grunted in response. Vivta sighed, and spoke again
"Well, Rikon was getting ready to finish Daikon off with some blast of some sort, I did what I could, and jumped in front. The explosion nearly took off my right arm, and slightly burned the rest of my side. It was pathetic, really. Rikon got past the shock of seeing me, alive. He just laughed, and attacked me. I fought against him as best I could, but the injury had taken at least half of my power away.
"He threw me away from Daikon, after giving me a small beating. Laughing again, Rikon turned back to Daikon, who was unconsious. He powered up to try and kill him, again, but I wouldn't let him. I stood, and..."
(Vivta's point of view while when fighting Rikon - flash back)
I stood, my body was battered and bruised, and I had no feeling on my right side. Daikon, my good friend, lay helpless in front of Rikon. Knowing I was helpless aswell in my current state didn't help me much, but there had to be something I could do.
"Rikon, don't kill him!"
It sounded like the order I wanted it to be. I had to distract him, If I could, then maybe, maybe I could gain a little strength before I fought him again.
"How many times must I kill you? Princess?"
I snarled at him in response, my tail flicked angrily.
"You'll regret that."
Rikon laughed and looked down at Daikon
"He means something to you, hm?"
I glared at him. Of course Daikon meant something to me. Those days, when I thought I'd die from the treatments the scientists gave me, he spoke to me weakly, and told me everything was going to be alright. I believed him, I cared about him. He was the only person I had in the world right now. I just couldn't let him die, not now, not ever.
I heard Rikon laugh again. I hated that laugh. It rang in my head like a loud gong, and left just as slowly. Daikon was woken up when Rikon kicked him in the side, breaking a few ribs in the process. His eyes darted around the place, confusion evident. Our eyes met, and a look of concern crossed his face. He always worried about me.
"V-vivta?"
He stuttered painfully, I grimaced, before angrilly looking at Rikon.
"I'll kill you."
I said coldly. I felt my anger rising. Rikon just laughed, and reached down, grabbing Daikon around the throat. Lifting up the helpless saiyan, Rikon cut off his air cercualtion. I roared in anger, and with strength I didn't know I possessed, charged at him head on. Just before reaching him, though, something happened. It was a change. I knew I couldn't defeat him, not now, not for a while. I had to save Daikon, at all costs.
Roaring in another fit of rage, and standing only five feet away from Rikon, I felt a surge of power, this one was different. A golden arura surrounded me, filling me with more power then I ever thought possible. I was a super saiyan.
I kicked Rikon in the stomach, and caught Daikon's nearly lifeless form, flying into the air quickly. I did this all in one move, and no one saw a thing.
"Yiko, help him, please."
I nearly begged my new friend. Yiko's eyes widened, and he quickly shut his door. After flying away, I had brought Daikon to the only place I thought could help.
"Vivta, I can't. Rikon's people are looking everywhere for the two of you. You're wanted dead."
I held Daikon a little closer. He would die if he didn't get to a regeneration tank soon. I was no longer in my new form, and sat on the ground, Daikon was unconsious and in my lap. I felt tears coming, but I wouldn't let them go. I couldn't.
"Where could we go, that we wouldn't be seen?"
I asked quietly. Yiko watched me for a moment, slowly looking at Daikon, he replied
"Come with me, I have an idea."
Sneaking around one of Freiza's many bases wasn't an easy thing to do, but we did. To my suprise, Yiko managed to bring us to the 'garage'. All of the space ships were in there, the pods were in another sector.
"There will be at least one tank in each ship, come on, let's take that one."
Yiko helped me carry Daikon on board one of the ships. It wasn't very big, but could hold at least eight men/women.
The desired tank was found quickly, and Daikon was put inside. I slid the oxygen mask over his mouth, and closed the top. Yiko already had the tank beginning to fill.
"Thank-you."
I said. Yiko smirked slightly when he turned around
"No problem. I just hope that no-"
Yiko was cut off when his eyes widened. The scouter he was wearing began beeping, warning us that people were coming.
"Viv, hide!"
Yiko whispered urgently. I looked around, an idea forming in my head. If this was a ship, then why not just...?
Grinning, I raced to the other side of the ship, running through hallways. I looked out one of the windows. five, maybe six elite soliders stood near the ship, and one spoke just loud enough for me to hear
"If you surrenderd not, we'll spare you."
I scowled at them, and looked at the control pannel I was close to. Grinning viciously, I pushed a few buttons. Engines began to roar, as they started up, and the door closed. I was leaving this place, and Daikon and Yiko were coming with me, whethere they liked it or not.
(Vivta's continued talking to Vegeta)
"I stood, and ended up becoming a super saiyan when Rikon nearly killed Daikon. Yiko helped us find a ship, and the three of us left. Some time after that, we met Ri. We ran into Gideon a couple years ago."
Vivta finished. Vegeta frowned, but shrugged his shoulders, then, a smirk crossed his face.
"So, you're telling me, you've been traveling around space, looking for saiyans, with five other, availble saiyan men, and you haven't chosen a mate yet?"
Vivta' couldn't help but blush faintly. Vegeta scowled at her.
"Then why no kids?"
A sad look crossed Vivta's face
"There was one, but he was taken away."
Daikon, who probably heard every word, quickly came over to her side. He whispered something to Vivta, but she shook her head. Vegeta watched Daikon in annoyance. Daikon must've been her, companion.
Vegeta scowled at her. This was not his sister, could not be his sister. She looked far too young. Vivta was only three years younger then him. This girl looked old enough to be one of Bra's friends. She watched him, silently, leaning against a tree. They were alone at the moment, but he had no doubt they were being watched. That saiyan named Daikon was watching, from his new perch on the house.
