Chapter 20 – Just the two of us
Rikon stared in shock at Vivta. How could she be here? How did she get a hold of Rambil's ship? Had she killed him? No, that wasn't her style. Jumping out unexpectedly of a stolen space pod, and body slaming you as hard as possible was her style. "Kill me? Vivta, I do believe you've tried that before. Why do you insist on believing you can achieve the impossible?" Vivta growled at him "Impossible? Rikon, you haven't killed me either." He laughed wickedly, a sliver of sanity breaking "Only because you're the last female of our race, and no one wants to kill off their own people." She scowled at him, her grey eyes throwing invisible daggers at him "Of course not. Why do the deed yourself, when you work for a phsyco that can do it for you?" Both glared at each other. "Freiza was a warrior of power. Power you will never understand!" Vivta rolled her eyes. Like they hadn't gone through this before. "If Freiza was so powerful, how could he have allowed himself to be killed? By a survivor of a race he thought he'd seen the last of." Rikon's eyes almost went red with the fury behind them. Vivta had already predicted his next move. Like she knew he'd do, Rikon gave the silent command, that send fifty third class warriors at her. "Rikon, you coward, fight me yourself!" He smirked, and watched as she faught, easily dodging and returning attacks sent at her. These third class warriors weren't even worth her time, but she'd play his game, how else would she show him who the strongest really was?
Daikon had continued his frustrated pacing. Acording to Rambil's estimate, Vivta would probably be fighting with Rikon now, and they still had over an hour of traveling left to do. Why did she have to be so hard headed? Didn't she know she needed them there? To watch her back if not for anything else? Who can say someone even slightly close to Rikon's power wouldn't shoot some blasts from behind? How could she protect herself from something like that? Who was going to find Pheonix while she was extracting her revenge? "Daikon, chill, it's not the end of the world. She's gotten out of worse." Daikon's spun around on Yiko, the unfortuante soul who had spoken those words, and glared furiously at him "You think I don't know how powerful she is? You think, out of everyone here, that I don't know the ful extent to which she can go? I trained with her all those years. I know her better than you know yourself. Doing this, it could hurt her. If Pheonix isn't really alive, and it was just some sick joke to lure (spelling..?) her down there, then what? Do you even know what possible damage that could do to her? It would be like loosing him all over again." Daikon's shoulders sagged, and his knees nearly buckled underneith him. The ocupants of the ship had gone totally silent. "So that's why." Yiko said quietly. Daikon scowled, and looked away "You don't really believe he's alive, do you?" Daikon's guilty eyes rose to meet Yiko's "What proof do we have to go on? Some kids words, that's all." Yiko sighed, and left it at that. Daikon, not believing in them both is hurting you more than you think anything could hurt them. Yiko thought sadly, and watched as his distressed friend finally found a chair to calapse in.
"But I don't understand, Ally, why?" Pheonix stared in confussion at his guardian. She smiled sadly at him. "You could endanger her, if you interfeer (sorry, spelling...?)." The red-haired boy looked away and said quietly "Will she beat him?" Ally, who always knew everything; what you were thinking, what you would do, how things would turn out, couldn't lie to his question "No, Pheonix, fire-child, she won't."
Vivta fought angrilly against the second class warriors that now stood between her, and the man she loathed. They were all that stood between her and Rikon. She saw red when she fought them, and it wasn't just the blood, it was the anger, the built up rage that had festured, and just seemed to ooze out of her. She went super saiyan level three, and with one powerful attack, sent them all flying. Dead, injured, it didn't matter to her, the path was clear now, and she charged at Rikon. Once again, that half crazed man gave a silent cammand, and what seemed like a hundred first class warriors met her halfway. She let out a frustrated scream, as it all seemed to star over again.
Half an hour, that's all we have. Half an hour, Viv, please be alive when we get there. Daikon's mental plea seemed to agree with the faces of his comrads. The other saiyans, along with Malcolumn and his men all looked grave. You'd think the world was over, and for Daikon, it was close to it.
Vivta was dodging everything, she knew their moves before they made them, she had more power than what they threw at her. The first class warriors were done with, and only the elite remained. Rikon seemed agitated. He'd underestimated her, again. He'd pay dearly for that, like he would for everything else he'd done.
Three men blocked her way, and even more stood behind her, trying to catch their breath. Vivta smirked. She hadn't even broken a sweat, and they were tired.
One man started the fight off again, and charged at her. Vivta gracfully flipped over him, and kicked him in the back in the process. He went flying towards his team-mates, and hit them with enough force to knock six of them out-cold. The rest of the battle contined in a similar fashion, it just seemed too easy for her. After the elites were taken care of, Vivta stood barely five feet from Rikon. He shook his head at her, and said loudly "Rext, Matrim, I believe it's your turn." The siblings came out from a door Rikon had been standing in front of. How long were they standing in there? Vivta thought quizically, a slightly blank look crossing her face. If Rikon's purpose was driving her insane, he was close to succeeding.
Rext and Matrim stood in front of her, sliding into their fighting stances. Vivta did likewise, and was about to attack, when the silver haired young woman spoke "Did Rambil give you his ship?" Vivta smirked, and shook her head. She could honestly say he hadn't.... "Did you meet up with him?" Vivta was about to tell her to shut up, when she noticed the worried look on Rext's face. "Yes, I did, I sent him back to the others." Vivta replied causously, watching Rext's face intently. The woman straightened, and relaxed from her stance, Matrim followed suit "Then we'll make this easier on you." As if they had planed it from the start, both brother and sister swung around, ki blasts shooting from their hands and straight at Rikon. He barely got rid of his shock in time to register what was happening. He deflected their attacks, and said angrilly "Traitors!" Both siblings scowled at him, and Rext growled "I'd rather follow Rambil's example, instead of following a tryant like you." Vivta stared at the two, before her eyes went wide, both grey orbs darted to the sky. "Will the two of you make sure they land alright? Twenty minutes, maybe less, I think." Rext and Matrim looked confussed at first, but then they looked up, and sensed who Vivta was talking about. Rambil, Daikon, Vegeta, all of them were closing in, and she still had work to do. She couldn't let them get involved, if they distracted her, even an instant...or if a stray blast hit someone, they had to stay away. Rikon watched the three of them blankly, and then laughed "Brought your friends along to hide behind?" Vivta scowled at him "Why would I need to? You've done enough of that for the both of us." Rikon scowled angrilly, and looked about ready to reply, but Vivta continued "Rikon, I've been waiting a long time for this. There one left for you to send out. It's just the two of us, and I'm going to kill you."
ok...so....there wasn't as much action as I had hoped to include, (too much emotional stuff, eh?) but at least I got another chapter done. Please review, and sorry for any annoying suspence that may be adding up. C'ya
