"I still can't believe this is happening…"
"I still can't believe this is happening…"
"We have been waiting for this day…" Proudly, Vegeta stands by my side after laughing genuinely joyous over the death of Kakarrot and Frieza.
"It doesn't feel real Vegeta," Honestly, I confess to him leaning against the tree, glancing down at him laid sprawled on the grassy terrain beneath me by my side.
"Agreed but it's happening and with the planet exploding Kakarrot and Frieza will be out of our hair for good, making me the most power fullest warrior in all the universe!" Proudly, he declares.
"I wouldn't say that." Snidely, I remark smirking cockily at Vegeta's brief glare.
"Those years with Frieza swallowing my humiliation! We followed Frieza's command like sick loyal dogs! We conquered civilisations just to expand Frieza's empire…needless to say it was a job we Saiyans are good at…" Fondly, Vegeta reminisces as I close my eyes looking back on my time serving that freak.
"If only they gave us a good fight," I mutter closing my eyes remembering the children, the screaming, the feeble aliens trying to flee, trying to fight against us with their flimsy weapons, pathetic the lot of them, the only satisfactory part well only part that pleased me was hearing their screams of mercy begging for aid, for help. Happily, a small smile crosses my lips at the memories of me simply walking watching as the children of the planet scream and flee, some firing at me only for me to easily deflect the blows, hearing the cracked crunch of satisfaction from their necks being broken, their bones breaking before my feeble grasp, their buildings crumbling before them or when we use the moon, feeling a release of power and pride, relishing the power flowing through our veins as we destroy building after building, heh…
"Ha! Ha! That was great!" Loudly, Nappa's voice rings out as I scowl at the thought of that annoying man-child despite being the only real parental figure we had left.
"Yes but I can't wait to get into my healing capsule all this fighting has made me sore," Raditz complains as I scowl at the thought of that weakling.
"Hahah! Can you believe how fast we banked on this planet! I bet Frieza will give us a huge reward!" Excitedly, Nappa reasons as the kneeling Raditz joins in agreeing with him.
"Greetings master Frieza we have returned from the planet Shatts. Everything was done as you desired they pledged their loyalty to you in under three short days." Loyally, Vegeta reports as we bow before Frieza in his pod, Zarbon and Dodoria by his side, my eyes narrowing at the sight of that bastard, Dodoria.
"Did they really? I'm surprised it took so long hahahah! Very well then you may go away now." Frieza dismisses.
"Huh? Hey wait is that all you're going to say to us!? We've only crush an entire group of people in under three days and all you can say is…is…" Insulted, the buffoon, Nappa argues remembering the boys shocked expressions as Vegeta and I remain firm bowing, knowing our place unlike these morons.
"Tell me Zarbon how long do you reckon it would take you to conquer a planet like Shatt," Frieza smirks at him.
"Well I imagine one full day would be enough." Cockily, Zarbon agrees.
"Really a whole day? It really is a tiny planet! Hahaha!" Frieza taunts his goons bursting into laughter.
"Is there anything else you'd like to report to me if not, you two must understand I have more significant matters to attend to." Frieza exclaims.
"You cocky little…" Seething, Nappa charges at him.
"Nappa!" Vegeta calls out as I grab Vegeta stopping him from intervening.
"Leave him, it's his own damn fault." Coldly, I warn Vegeta out of the runts, preferring him to stay alive than the idiot and him.
"Please excuse us master Frieza ," Vegeta bows as we stand, our ears hearing Zarbon's filthy curse.
"Filthy monkey…" Zarbon curses under his breath as Vegeta freezes turning to snarl.
"Don't…" Sternly, I whisper, stopping him from being stupid.
"I know…" Pained, he grits his teeth.
"I hate this you know I heard talk about how our planet was destroyed. I didn't believe it at first but now, I don't think it collided with another planet." Nappa gossips as we leave the castle, storming off.
"What do you mean?" Raditz frowns.
"They say that Frieza did it." Nappa reveals making both Vegeta and I share a look of pain.
"Why?" Raditz enquires.
"Does it matter, it's gone Nappa, it's never coming back just leave it, the result will always be the same." Icily, I state the facts.
"Vegeta, you have to listen to me it was Frieza that ordered it all. To have your father killed and to blow up your home planet." Nappa reasons.
"I already knew that." Bluntly, Vegeta reveals as we both stop.
"What but how could you obey Frieza with what he's done to us. Elery, back me up here, you cared for your father surely you want revenge!?" Nappa turns to me.
"My father was a third class saiyan, he was a weakling nothing but a ineffective brute. Why would I care as saiyan elite care for such a weak lifeforms death? The weak die and the strong live though that doesn't count for everyone", Snidely, I remark glancing at both Nappa and Raditz, the pair not having realized the implications to my words.
"So he killed my father and destroyed my people that means nothing to me now. Strength is the only thing that matters in this world everything else is just a discussion for the weak. There is only one certainty a strong man conquers and stand above all. I know how strong Frieza is and I know I can't beat him. But just wait and see as the last of the Saiyans we have flowing through our veins the blood of a warrior race. The more we fight them the more powerful we become and each fight, I'll become stronger and stronger and one day I'll be strong enough to defeat Frieza and I will rule the universe! Exactly as I was meant to!"
"Elery…" Calmly, I snap out of my thoughts as I stare at the crying halfbreed, weeping over his father's refusal to return not until Frieze is defeated not that I can blame him. If he were to die, he would die a legend. He would die how may would rem to be put out and he would be remembered, his legacy carried on throughout the generations coming.
"Yeah Vegeta," I mutter.
"What we saw on planet Namek tell me was that truly the super saiyan?" He questions me in awe as I close my eyes, remembering our shock and awe of the flaming lava waterfall pillars and seeing Kakarrot fight Frieza, seeing his form, his relief and even inviting us to join sadly as we had aimed our blasts at the stunned Frieza that damn dragon ball wish intervened and we were transported here back on this mud ball known as earth.
"It was." I confirm.
"When were you going to tell me you could turn into one!? Angrily, he demands from me as I sigh.
"Vegeta I…I didn't really know I could and even when I did it was only really for a split second before I collapsed from exhaustion. Even then…I just remember being beaten to never use that transformation unless ordered by Frieza." Sadly, I explain to him.
"Tch…" Vegeta clicks his tongue turning away arms crossed seething.
"Vegeta. Look I still need to control it, not faint from exhaustion I need to do that first I can say I am a super saiyan." I try to get things right, trying to clear the air.
"I suppose...we both still have a long way to go," Grumpily, he huffs leaning over as I nod my head agreeing with my friend.
"Yeah you're right. Still you humans and Namekian, the lot of you would never understand…" I tell the group turning to us shocked to see us.
"We understand Kakarrot's blood!" Proudly, Vegeta voices out the pair of us sitting side by side as the Namekian's turn to glare at us mostly Vegeta, for the bloodbath caused.
"Vegeta, Elery!" Gohan gasps to see us.
"Haha! Kakarrot can't turn down a good fight it's against his saiyan nature!" Smugly, Vegeta reasons.
"Who can blame him?" I add shrugging smiling.
"Ah! Why did you two have to come back!? Why didn't the dragon leave out those filthy jerks!" Bulma squeals.
"Now that wasn't very nice," Playfully, Vegeta stands smirking.
"Not the greatest greeting for your saviour blueberry." I add in slyly.
"It's Bulma!" She corrects me after whining after falling on her butt poking her tongue at me making me smirk.
"I hate that nasty frog this is a nightmare!" Loudly, Bula screams as she kicks some random frog away.
"Oh is it? You're all so foolish to think Kakarrot would abandon a good fight because a blood of a saiyan runs too strongly in his veins and now as that idiot martyr becomes a super saiyan his hunger for battle is even greater. Nothing will stop Frieza and Kakarrot from fighting that is until Namek explodes and they both go out with a bang hahaha!" Cackling, Vegeta laughs as I join in snickering at the thought and the adrenaline coursing through me.
"Meaning we have much training to do to become stronger to defeat Kakarrot," Proudly, I add in grinning excitement flowing through my veins at the thought of training as I note Vegeta sharing the same excitement as I.
"Don't laugh!" The halfbreed shout making me snicker at the filthy thing trying to be intimidating to its superiors.
"Meanwhile since we were revived from the dead we shall both become stronger and once Kakarrot and Frieza are completely out of the picture I will be the most power fullest fighter in the universe!" Vegeta declares arrogantly.
"We'll see about that prince," Teasingly, I smirk as Vegeta and I glare at one another, glare of battle, of excitement of eagerness to train and spar with one another.
"You little," Piccolo begins trailing off enraged.
"I must admit this was unexpected but that doesn't mean I won't enjoy it hahahaah! So since you, Elery and I are the last Saiyans left why not have a fight to celebrate it!?" Vegeta offers.
"You guys go on ahead…" I wave Vegeta off feeling a familiar grumble.
"Huh!?" Vegeta frowns at me.
"I'm getting some food." I deadpan.
"Really?" Angrily, Vegeta scowls as I wave him off.
"I have had to eat dinosaur meat six days in a row give me some sort of diversity, heck I'll even eat that fake meat shit!" Desperate, I roar at him, entering this strange place called capsule corp, diving inside into the fridge and taking out a whole bone with meat on it, making me smile excited as I dive into it, returning back to see the others looking distraught as Vegeta smirks down at the glaring halfbreed.
"Fine, fine. Me and you kid since we're the last male Saiyans," Vegeta declares.
"Don't call him a saiyan that's disrespecting us as a whole," I call out insulted.
"Beggars can't be choosers Elery it'll be a perfect opportunity to test out my new strength!" He tells me turning back to the halfbreed.
"Just stop talking to me jerk! I don't want to listen to your stupid voice anymore!" The halfbreed screams at hi, anger laced in his tone, his body shaking.
"How can you think of fighting when Goku is up there fighting Frieza!?" Bulma demands hiding behind the halfbreed.
"Hey it was Kakarrot's choice to stay not mine and for now on you're going to do exactly as I tell you to do." Vegeta points out turning his back to brood as I approach the group, eating my well-earned meat.
"Daddy!" Loudly, the halfbreed falls to his knees tears in his eyes as I scowl fed up with this water fest of weakness.
"Oh just shut up already!" Fed up, the loud sharp skin on skin rings in the air as the boy falls to his knees tears in his eyes as the Namek raises his fist at me only to kicked back by me as he glares.
"Hey!" Bulma scowls at me.
"What? It's annoying." I argue.
"How would you feel if your dad was…?" Bulma begins.
"My dad's dead." Bluntly, I answer.
"O-Oh…" Startled, the others turn away nervous as I turn to the boy head down sniffling cradling his ruby red mark.
"Look Halfling," Annoyed, I begin, chomping down on my meat.
"He has a name! Gohan!" Piccolo scolds me as I rip the piece of meat with my bare teeth.
"Fine, Gohan, god that's a stupid name. Look your dad is coming back." I state the fact.
"How do you know?" The halfbreed furrows his brow.
"You were at Namek you saw his power level did you not? You felt it." I point out.
"I did." Shyly, he nods.
"He was toying with Frieza and he still is. He'll be back." Honestly, I say it how it is.
"And if he doesn't?" Uneasily, Bulma whispers.
"Then move on." I shrug.
"It isn't that easy especially with Vegeta around!" Bulma points to said male brooding.
"Oh him, yeah whatever he said prior just ignore," Casually, I shrug off the concern taking the others aback.
"He won't rule, he isn't going to not if I'm here." I continue.
"You can stop him?" Gohan whispers hopeful.
"You're speaking to the girl who beat him into submission in combat class all the time, never has he won against me." Smugly, I smirk noting Bulma's eyes widen, a small smirk on her features at the tidy bit.
"What about this power boost thing?" She questions.
"I have it to… " I remind them.
"You do…thanks." Softly, Gohan smiles at me making me scowl disgusted.
"Great now I lost my appetite," I huff tossing my food half hazard away. "Hey as long as you keep giving us food we'll be happy," I add in.
"Wait where did you get that?" Bulma frowns as Gohan catches it taking a shy bite then devouring it whole, earning a few looks startled by his saiyan appetite while I shrug it off, adjusted to it.
"Found it." I answer.
"You stole it!" She accuses.
"Found, stole same thing really…" Informally, I shrug.
"You…you're going to be the death of us…" Exhausted, Bulma collapses to her knees, head down in defeat as I kneel down, reaching out poking her earning a twitching brow from her.
"STOP POKING ME!"
"ARGHHH! Gohan!" Screaming Bulma's voice rings out as I turn to find them arguing after Bulma had her message about bringing the guys back after hearing of Goku's win but although they can bring people back using the Namek dragon balls as much as they want, they need one thing, Namek and Namek isn't there anymore. Depressed, the others slump, sorrow evident in their features as I frown at the morons, not seeing the simple solution.
"You know for someone smart you people sure are dumb." Tiredly, I sigh hands on hips as I watch Gohan punch Vegeta, making me smirk at the sight of the two fighting, Vegeta beating the bloody pulp out of the child.
"What do you mean?" Confused, Piccolo scowls at me as I exhale tiredly, hearing the cry of pain form the Halfling as he is tossed into the ground, creating a crater as Vegeta the moron gets ahead of himself by trying to fire and kill the Halfling, only then for me to swoop in.
"As much as I would prefer seeing the Halfling beaten to a blood pulp you guys haven't realized the answer have you?" I snicker, shaking my head at the fools, standing before the weakened body of the Halfling picking him up by his shirt, making him dangle down from my grasp.
"What do you mean?" Bulma whimpers shaking.
"Wish Namek back." I deadpan at the shocked morons.
"H-Huh?" The group gawk, blinking at my words.
"Think about it. You saw how you earthlings reacted to us I don't think they'd give a warm welcome to another alien race after our entrance." Snidely, I remark snickering.
"Oh my gosh that works! Wow for a saiyan you sure are smart!" Relieved, Bulma smiles.
"Why are you helping them!?" Angry, Vegeta snarls at me reeling his fist back making me smirk as swiftly, I knee him in the gut, winding him as he lurches forward, cradling his chest as salvia and crimson spit out of his mouth.
"Now remember your place prince," Poisonously, I sneer smirking smugly at his sharp glare.
"Because I want Kakarrot back I need another duelling partner and as much as I hate to say it. We are dying Vegeta we need all the Saiyans we can get even….halfbreeds." Repulsed, I spit it out, dropping the saiyan child earning a small groan from him as we all come to an agreement, all of us heading to Bulma's place, to wait for the dragon balls and meeting Bulma's interesting family.
"Did she just call you cute?" I question my features blank trying to see what Bulma sees in this angry midget after she had called her parents over and we had arrived at capsule corp, everyone settling in as Vegeta and I explore the spaceship, the one that most likely took Kakarrot to Namek.
"I don't…I don't…Lost," Vegeta confesses pinching the bridge of his nose lost as we explore it, my eyes widening in awe at the gravity machine of sorts, this must be what made Kakarrot stronger. I glance at Vegeta following my gaze the pair of us smirking already plotting our revenge by using this machine we will be stronger and when Kakarrot returns, he will stand no chance for our hard training will help us unlock the super saiyan form or at least let me control it, I mean it worked for Kakarrot surely it will work for me.
"Humans are weird…." I mutter as we continue to explore, Vegeta looking into the coordinates until…
"Yoohoo! Vegeta Elery I'm serving cool drinks outside, I made you a Sherri temple Vegeta and you Elery a Celery soda it's really nice!"
"Celery soda? Is she…?" Baffled, I blink shocked at the drink.
"I think she is." Uneasily, Vegeta confirms for me the pair of us sharing a look of unease at the happy go lucky blonde, oblivious to our role in this chaotic arc of sorts.
"They like you." I point out breaking the tense silence between us.
"Shut up." He growls fuming.
"I don't know whether to be worried for you or to laugh at you," Slyly, I smirk at Vegeta's sharp glare.
"And I don't know where to kill you now or later." He retorts.
"Up to you, either way you'll end up six feet under…" Darkly, I grin as Vegeta briefly shivers from my cold calculating glare as we reluctantly go outside, for these so called delicious drinks, beginning our year in this hell of a mud ball.
"Gosh you guys are lucky our dragon balls take a whole year to regenerate," Brightly, Bulma smiles as Vegeta and I lean against the capsule corp building, my brow furrowed at the clothes I am wearing courtesy of Bulma, ever since this hellish year started she has been favourable to me, most likely to pay me back for saving her. I mean she gave me a room but she also gave Vegeta one. Silently, I look down at my attire, loose due to Bulma's tall height compared to mine while my body is more studier, muscular then her thin lanky frame as I wear a loose black turtleneck, over it, a blue demine jean jacket, a pair of black trousers and blue trainers, human attire is so strange it doesn't serve any sort of combat purpose then again they are too weak to really fight in the first place.
"Ours too, our days are a bit shorter than yours." Softly the green child smiles at Bulma.
"Oh gotcha so what do you guys think? I'd say we call upon the eternal dragon while we're still young. Are you up to it?" Cheekily, Bulma winks at the child, her hair now long.
"Sure why not but where's Gohan?" The elderly male questions, my brow furrowed remembering him staring oddly at me prior, ogling me in Bulma's words as she caught his gaze and yelled at him but even then that didn't stop him, that is until I outstretched my hand out to him, firing a small feeble blast, sending him back, remembering his cry of agony as he learned his lesson, his place among this group of people.
"Hey hold on wait for us!"
"Hey what took you so long kid?" The pig questions the Halfling.
"Not a lot sorry I had to finish my homework," Sheepish, the Halfling apologises.
"Don't sweat it kid you're fashionably late that's okay." Brightly, Bulma smiles.
"Gohan's been hitting the books a lot lately . He's put up with almost all of the work he's missed out on," Boastfully, the woman smiles as I frown at her, why is she giving the child praise? It will only make him more lazy, he will grow smug, arrogant over his work and study less and less, praise does nothing but feed ego and laziness.
"Man what a little champion cool! Well Dende what do you say?" Bulma praises then turns back to the green child.
"Sure!" He smiles and says those Namekian words or phrase, summoning the muscular dragon.
"Thou who hast gathered the seven Dragon balls, I shall grant thee any three wishes," The dragon tells them.
"Ladies and gentlemen of Earth, next time will be fine with us. Have your own wishes granted!" The name leader after the elder had passed steps up.
"Thank you very much, Grand Elder! In that case, I'll make our wishes. First, please call the spirits of Son Goku and Krillin, who died on Planet Namek, here!" Bulma requests thanking the elder Namek as the child translates her request into Namekian.
"Understood. I shall attempt it. I have summoned the spirit of the being named Krillin here. However, I can't not summon the spirit of the one called Son Goku," The dragon informs them making me arch a brow of intrigue as the dragon's ruby reds flare up only to simmer dimming down.
"T-That can't be! Why not!?" Bulma demands horrified.
"Because Son Goku is alive, I can't not summon only his spirit." The dragon reveals.
"Alive ? W- What's this? Amazed, the halfbreed questions as I can't help but smirk, now things are getting interesting…"
"D-Don't tell me how did he!?" Vegeta glances at me only to see me shrug, having no clue. "If he's alive, I wonder why he hasn't come home." Bulma questions pondering more to herself as I can't help but smirk, trouble in the family Kakarrot? Heh…
"His spaceship is probably broken or something." The Halfbreed suggests.
"Well, if that's the case, you can have Shen Long call him here!" The elder suggests.
"l-I guess so. Okay, now, the second wish! Please return Krillin back to life! Bulma requests as the bald one is transported here making the crowd cheer. "Go! Go! Go! Huh? Krillin! So that's it! I've come back to life! Hooray!" Baldy celebrates.
"I have returned his dismembered body to its original state as a special free service." The dragon adds.
"You may have a frightening face, but you sure are cute!" Cheekily she winks stunning me as the dragon sweat drops, almost blushing from her words. "And now, this time, at last bring Goku here to us!" Loudly, Bulma declares as the dragon begins to glow. "It is no good. It has been refused. This man called Son says he shall return shortly of his own accord," The dragon report disappointing the group.
"R- Refused? Why?" The halfbreed questions flabbergasted.
"I know! He's afraid of his wife!" Loudly, the old man yells bringing a small smirk to my lips.
"What!? So the greatest in the universe is the Super Saiyan Son Goku's wife!?" Roaring, said wife screeches terrifying most of the people with her sword in hand.
"J-Joke! That was a joke!" Nervously, the old man squeaks back.
"F-Father won't come home?" Sadly, the halfbreed whimpers.
"He says he'll come back on his own shortly. He's definitely coming home. Don't worry Gohan he'll keep his word." Piccolo assures the halfbreed.
"And there he goes," I whistle out as Vegeta storms off going into the spaceship and setting off.
"You didn't go with him?" Bulma questions me as I feel all eyes on me.
"Look even I have my limits with the prince," I scoff.
"Pay him no mind! Let's continue. Instead of Goku, bring back to life someone at Kai's place," Piccolo insists as the others turn back to the dragon.
"Yeah, okay. I wonder who I should call back. Return Yamcha to life, if you would!" Bulma decides after having done that psychic trick thing with the kai.
"Yamcha, right? Okay! And now, our third wish, once more please! Bring Yamcha back to life!" Bulma declares.
"Very well, understood. I have returned the one named Yamcha to life," The dragon glows and the deed is done.
"W-Where? Where? Where!?" Panicked, Bulma screams.
"I have granted all of thy wishes Farewell!" The dragon says.
"J-Just a minute!" Feebly, she demands but it falls to deaf ears as the dragon returns to the balls, the air turning back to light and the world returning to normal. "Where is Yamcha!?" Panicked Bulma cries out as I flown at the loud mess, my ears hearing the faint swoosh as I furrow my brow my eyes widening when next thing I know I hear a scream of shock as I feel something light plop into my arms. Puzzled, I blink looking down to stare owlishly at the taller male in my arms, my blues shocked stare into a pair of surprised onyx, noting the faint red hue in his cheeks making me frown.
"Hey you killed me!" Shocked, he gasps remembering me.
"Yamcha! You saved him thank you Elery! Guess that makes up for killing him!" Bulma giggles rushing over to his side. Offended, I drop him earning a yelp of pain as I shiver, recoiling in disgust at catching some sort of lowly plague from the creature.
"Disgusting thing. No words can describe the loathing I feel for you." Sincerely, I hiss earning a surprised yelp from him as he stands up and I take a step back as the gang reunite and I'm stuck here on this mud ball with them….great.
"I wish you had chosen a better place…" Jokingly, he laughs as the strange cat thing called Puar clings to him, hugging him as I then turn back to the capsule building, feeling the rumble of my stomach as I decide to head in for some food…already regretting not joining Vegeta...
