"The hell did I miss?" Shocked, I question after getting out of the isolation chamber, following the powerful energies to find to my shock and slight fear Frieza, my brow furrowed as I bite down on my lip, ignoring the faint freeze of fear as I approach.
"Elery!" Shocked, I hear the relieved voices of the Halfling and human, I also note Vegeta among them.
"You took your time!" Annoyed, he scowls at me arms crossed but I note the look of relief hidden by his fear, his anger and his desperate attempt to keep his composure despite us both facing the monster that destroyed our people, our culture, our peoples pride. He will pay, do not fret, he will whatever the cost I will pay it.
"That I did. Ah I see the green man is alive," Plainly, I point out to the bloodied mess, the Halfling steadying him.
"I'm a Namekian." Sourly, he corrects me.
"And I don't care. Halfling from what I've seen you lot need time to heal the green man and your allies. Go ahead and do it." I order him.
"What about you?" I furrow my brow at the worry in his tone.
"I've rested long enough. I need some entertainment after all." Scoffing, I wave him off.
"Be careful…" He whispers as I scowl at the sudden change of air. The heck does he and the humans seem to care? We're not on the same side not forever once Frieze is gone my father, my home; my people will have their revenge.
"As if I'll need that." Cockily, I smirk hand on hip.
"Wow I haven't seen that form in eons still as ugly as ever," Loudly, I call out to Frieza.
"And you're as vulgar as ever filthy monkey but alas such fond memories of beaten you within an inch of your life," He greets me as I lower myself down to prepare for battle.
"And such fond memories of me nearly killing you and beating you into that your final form," Mockingly, I swoon.
"And when I did turn I comatose you for a month indeed these are fond memories. I'm disappointed Elery you were one of my best, I remember when you were just a little girl, I had heard rumours of the second class saiyan elite defeating the prince of all Saiyans. Imagine my intrigue at such rumours. I had high hopes for you, shame the prince has corrupted your path, your loyalty to the prince and your monkey race is admirable still such a shame for such talent to be directed into such a futile effort of a rebellion. I had hopes for you as did my father even your mother shame she had to die!" Sneering, he explains as I feel my eye twitch disgusted by his words feeling a familiar pit for rage burst within me.
"My mother died a proud saiyan elite. She had a role to protect the king and I followed in my duty to protect the prince. Something you know nothing about!" Insulted, I roar at him.
"I wouldn't say that…" Coyly, Frieza smirks.
"You are nothing but a child living in the elite shadow of your mother with the dirty blood of a 3rd rate monkey…" Coldly, he declares my eyes wide feeling a wave of rage engulf me, feeling all of my past emotions once bottled up and thrashing about in that delicate bottle finally hear the crack of glass.
"Silence!" Screeching, I release a feral cry as I feel a familiar emotion engulf me starling many as I feel my heart beginning to tremble alongside Frieza as I note flickers of brown turning faintly gold.
"Impossible…" Stunned, Frieza whispers fear trembling etched into his tone.
"Is that what Vegeta was on about?" The Halfling wonders to himself.
"No…I…I am the prince of all Saiyans I should be the super saiyan, I should-" Vegeta begins only to be cut off by Frieza's piercing battle cry.
"ARGH! YOU BITCH! DIE!" Roaring, he dives at me swiftly trying to stop me only for me to dive to the side, delivering a quick knee to his gut making him release splatters of salvia as I continue kneeing him blow after blow only then as he reels his fist back to stop or at least defend, I push off him using the momentum of my feet to dart away from him as my ears perk up at Vegeta's words imploring Krillin to hit him, to make him stronger but….
""If I injure myself, there will be no effect! You must do it!" Vegeta demands.
"B-But my power isn't enough to bring you to near-death!" Krillin argues uneasy.
"Don't worry. I'll lower my battle power as low as it will go. Your power will be enough. We're just lucky that Namekian kid down there can heal people instantaneously!" Vegeta assures him.
"No matter how much I may hate you, how can I? Besides which, it's just about time for Goku to recover." Krillin refuses as I scoff.
"Kakarrot is a lowest-class warrior! He won't get any stronger than that!" Roaring, Vegeta screams as I have had enough, outstretching my arms out, if this kill him then so be it. Darkly, I release a blast hitting Vegeta making him release a pained cry, turning to me a look of shock, pain and betrayal as he collapses to the ground, not dead as I turn to the scared Dende.
"Heal him now." Coldly, I order the frightened child standing there uncertain whether to help or not.
"How could you do that?" Horrified, Krillin demands from me disturbed by my neutral expression.
"I'll do whatever it takes for our goal. I made a vow I would kill him and I will! Even if it means at the prince's life…" Coldly, I dictate stunning many as I note Frieza's look of almost pride as we face off for our final battle and I am ready to kick some ass…or tail whatever that lizard freak has behind him.
"You never fail to impress me my dear. NOW DIE!" Frieza roars as I release a screech shocking many as I feel a familiar wave of raw energy strike as we continue our match, me easily dodging his burly strikes, him handing a few good ones on me but I endure that is until…smirking, I glance up at the numerous arrows aimed at his heat signature and with a click of my fingertips, kick Frieza into the mountain he had tossed me into prior, believing me to be dead having no idea of the bombs I had planted there nor the arrows of ki. I had slowly built around it as I kick Frieza into the mountain making him cry out as his back is scorched from the explosions of the land ki and then impaled in the front and sides from my arrows.
"That's…what power…?" Amazed, I hear the earthlings whisper as I smirk.
"No...no impossible is that..?" Krillin asks.
"A super saiyan." Darkly, Vegeta utters.
"But how? So Dodoria was right about you. I didn't believe him but now…I won't let you transform," Before I could even strike in my new form, I feel a heavy weight fall on me, feeling my bulky body turn as heavy as lead as the exhaustion finally creeps in on me from the ki blasts. I flinch briefly from the sheer exhaustion as I note my vison beginning to turn blurry fuzzy almost and I begin swaying. My ears ring, hearing the cackle as to my shock and horror, Frieza transforms into his ultimate form into the form I could never defeat.
"What the…" Cut off, I release a choked gaps at the salvia and ruby red liquid spewing out of my open mouth from the wrenching punch to the gut hearing the crack and crunch of bones as I am tossed into the mountain side.
"Miss me?" Teasingly, he sneers as I look up at him, my blues dazed as I feel his fists strike at my head giving me a volleyball shot into the ground as I am tossed about, hearing the crack of bones, feeling the puncture of my lungs and below as well as feeling the splutter of iron staining my mouth, pooling out of my mouth as Frieza ends with a swift kick to the ground, making me feel the building pain and exhaustion finally take its toll on me.
"Elery!" Surprisingly, my blues narrow at the Halfling rushing over to my side, is he…he's doing that strange thing again with his eyes…what is it called? Whatever it is why is he…doing that for me? I don't understand.
"Ah…the healer's dead. We're boned…"Numbly, I stare at the dead Dende, everyone else crying mourning as I release chocked gasp of screams as Frieza approaches me, pummelling my back with his swift heavy kicks hearing the faint crunch of my back as I feel the heavy weight of exhaustion overtake me, paralysing my body to the ground only then to be shocked when Vegeta strikes at Frieza stopping his fury of attacks and backing away as weakly, my blurry blues look up at two Vegeta's.
"And I thought one was enough trouble," Weakly, I whisper out releasing a small smirk only to cough up a splatter of crimson.
"Just shut up. You're no good to me dead." Vegeta smirks now fully healed as he faces off against Frieza.
"H- He's vanished again!" Surprised, I hear the Halfling whisper as Frieza fires.
"He's behind you moron!" I hiss at the Halfling stunning him as the beam fires.
"You ignorant fools! Worthless idiot!" Vegeta scolds slapping the Halfling out of the way, saving his life. "O-Once again I couldn't see him move or attack. But Elery and Vegeta saw it! Why? Have his abilities gone up that much!?" Amazed, Krillin ponders to himself…
"Thanks! You saved me," Grateful, the Halfling smiles.
"You've got it all wrong." Weakly, I hiss out grimacing in pain from the raw agony of Frieza's attack.
"I didn't do it to save you. I thought I'd show you guys something good." Smirking, Vegeta turns his back to them.
"S- Something good? Don't tell me you you think you can beat him?" Hopeful, the half fling questions.
"You might say that." Vegeta smirks.
"You can't possibly…" Piccolo mutters.
"You guys are in our way. Pull back and watch very closely!" Vegeta commands.
"Such confidence, Vegeta. Or perhaps you're so frightened, something has snapped?" Frieza taunts him as I feel a set of arms around me, pick me up making me turn to glare weakly at the Namek who remains unfazed.
"You just keep on smirking like that, while you still can. What stands before you is that which you fear most! A Super Saiyan!" Vegeta declares as my eyes widen at the myth.
"Super Saiyan? What's this "Super Saiyan" business he's talking about? As always, your jokes go too far." Frieza dismisses.
"In that case, I'll show you the abilities I possess, now that I have become a Super Saiyan!" Proudly, Vegeta declares as he roars and the true battle begins, the others going silent in awe of Vegeta's ki and power.
"Elery what's a super saiyan?" The Halfling questions.
"It's a legend among mine and Vegeta's people of a legendary warrior saying to have great power and strength unmatched but that power drove him mad. They say there never has been another super saiyan for years…" Painfully, I explain the tail as I hear the ringing, make me zone out the others ramblings as the fight continues with Vegeta showing off his new found strength.
"Just be grateful you don't have a Scouter with you! If your Scouter were to read my battle rating now, you would run away from here in tears! The reason being, my power has now become even greater than yours! Brace yourself, Frieza. This time, for sure, you are going to meet your end! What's the matter? Are you too frightened to say anything? Well, Frieza-san?" Mockingly, Vegeta taunts after his showcase of power.
"I get you, I get you. If you mean everything you said, then I've decided to see for myself the power of this so-called, legendary Super Saiyan, the strongest warrior in history," Tauntingly, Frieza sneers at the fuming Vegeta only leading to the idiot into attacking reckless giving Frieza the edge as Frieza destroys Vegeta leaving him a bloodied and tied mess, joining me in needing to be healed.
"Good night sweet prince," Teary eyed, Vegeta stares helpless as bloodied and defeated he is lifted by his armour by Frieza's hand raised, to be impelled to allow death to silence his silent tears. Don't worry everyone gets a turn, he assures the group as I feel his eyes on me making me grimace at the sense of helplessness from the exhaustion draining me.
"Thanks to you guys, I've recovered from all that damage." Shocked, my eyes widen at the familiar voice of Kakarrot, I had recalled seeing him in earlier brushing past him too focused on killing Frieza to really notice as here Kakarrot arrives, proud an ready for battle.
"You've stuck it out well, Gohan! Leave it up to me now," Gently, he tells his halfbreed son as he complements the fools on staying alive this time as he arrives, acting so causal making me scowl.
"What!? Leave it up to you?" Worried, the halfbreed questions.
"What, are you planning on taking that freak on by yourself?" The Namekian questions.
"Yep." Smiling, Kakarrot confirms.
"So you're Frieza? You're much more of a runt than I'd imagined." Kakarrot greets him approaching him after the earthling's advice over Frieza's tail as Kakarrot heads towards his demise.
"So there's still another one of you scum left? Vegeta has promised to fight with me. Don't you interfere! You It's like I've seen you before…" Frieza mutters more to himself than us.
"K- Kakarrot, it's you…" Weakly, Vegeta hisses as Frieza drops him to the ground.
"K- Kakarrot? But that name is Saiyan," Frieza recognises.
"Yes you are a saiyan. I was in a skirmish with a saiyan who looks just like you. You're his offspring the resemblance between you two is unmistakable," Frieza points out.
"I don't care." Kakarrot furrows his brow.
"Well shall we procced?" Frieza smirks.
"Well your call," Kakarrot exclaims as Frieza tries to get a sneak attack only to be surprised when Kakarrot turns our way, missing the hit and lands a hit on his face, thus beginning the fight. Come on Kakarrot do this for us, for our people for our pride!
"It can't be! He deflected every one of them, and with just one hand!" Shocked, Frieza stares in utter shock after Kakarrot deflects each of his death beams, stunning us all.
"Frieza, you'd better fight like you mean it!" Kakarrot warns him only for Vegeta's chuckle to interrupt making me grimace, why can't he just shut up about this legend of ours!?
"H- He's the very thing you fear most A Super Saiyan! That's right! The strongest warrior in the universe, a Super Saiyan! Frieza, you're finished now! Serves you right!" Boasting, Vegeta declares hissing coughing up splatters of ruby red.
"Vegeta!" Horrified, Kakarrot and I cry out. Stunned, I watch helpless as Vegeta gets fired in the chest, falling to the ground and coughing up crimson. NO! NO! NO!
"You knew, Vegeta, that I hate such petty jokes, didn't you?" Sneering, Frieza points out.
"Vegeta! Hey! Vegeta was in a state where he couldn't even move! There was no reason to finish him off on purpose!" Angry, Kakarrot yells at him as I stare still reeling in shock over it all, slamming my eyes hut I force my beaten, tired numb legs to move, curling in on myself as I seethe. Vegeta…no…I can't…the Saiyans can't die not by his hand not like this, no…
"The Super Saiyan is nothing more than a frivolous legend. He wouldn't stop going on about it. I hate it when people get tedious." Tired, Frieza sneers at him.
"Kak…Kakarrot stop being so soft hearted, I swear if you spare Frieza after causing this genocide and after killing us…listen to me! Being this soft, this weak, it will get you nowhere near super saiyan…there is something Vegeta has never realized about Super saiyan, when I achieved my form. I was broken, I was angry, I was hungry for vengeance, that is what you must be, that is why you must become cold in order to use your anger, your hate, your pain in order to achieve the legend that is the super saiyan form…" Pained, I explain to him weakly, his eyes widen at my words.
"I'm sorry Elery but I can't even if it means I don't achieve this super saiyan form you speak of I can't be what you and Vegeta are. I can't. I can't change who I am. Not on the battlefield my feelings are my guide. Besides everyone deserves a chance to change their ways just like you and Vegeta had," Peacefully, Kakarrot informs me making me seethe.
"Kakarrot, you're…our planet of birth, Planet Vegeta was not destroyed in a collision with a giant meteor…" Weakly, Vegeta reveals.
"Don't say anymore! You're just wasting your energy!" Concerned, Kakarrot advises him.
"Frieza did it! This after we Saiyans served as his hands and feet working exactly as he ordered! Everyone besides us was killed ! Your father, Elery's father and my father, the king, as well! He…he took me away from my father, he took Elery away from her father, he said he would keep them safe if we obeyed but he killed them both either way and still we served him. Frieza was afraid that as the Saiyans gathered strength a Super Saiyan would be born among us. l- I beg you! Frieza… defeat Frieza ! Please by your Saiyan hand…" Pleadingly, Vegeta begs as I feel a lone tear finally escape me at the passing of my friend, my lone tear joining the waterfall that is his own.
"Vegeta…Elery" Kakarrot glances at me pained. "Has he finally croaked? Well, shall we reconvene this Show of Terror, then?" Tauntingly, Frieza continues unfazed by his passing.
"Elery, Vegeta," Gently, I feel Kakarrot kneel down next to me surprising me as he softly smiles at me gently wiping aside my tear as he smiles gently at me, feeling a heavy weight cross my features, finally noting the growing pool of crimson flowing out of me as I feel a wave of unease of heaviness of dreariness hit me as my vision begins to blur…
"About time, Saiyans tend to linger like a bad odour," Disgusted, Frieze sneers.
"Goodbye Vegeta you weren't as cold hearted as you played yourself out to be. A heart of stone can't cry tears like you did. You both must have been holding back your emotions your entire life. For you to cry For you to beg of me, must have been awfully difficult, I bet. I understand. It wasn't that your fellow Saiyans had been killed that was rough on you- Having to do as he told you must have been worse than anything you could stand. I hated you so much but you had your Saiyan pride. And now I too will share in some of that pride of yours," Smiling, Kakarrot glances at me as I nod weakly.
"Rest now. You two have worked hard." Softly, he tells me as I feel my eyes slowly shut as I feel a familiar darkness fall into me as I descend into the depths of my dreams once more, leaving the fight to the only person I can rely on left, a traitor of our kind, Kakarrot. The last hope for us, the last remaining saiyan…oh dear god he's the last remaining saiyan.
"I am a Saiyan raised on Earth! For all the Saiyans who were killed by you as well as for all the Namekian here I am going to beat you!"
