Chapter 4 He Promised Part 2
(:Back In Space:)
"Prepare To Be Boarded!" a familiar voice echoed through the intercom and filled the halls with cheer.
Norriko sat at the edge of her bed, she wasn't crying but much worse, she was broken. She hadn't moved from the bed for hours, she just sat their in agony.
Her room was filled with things from an old life, a life on Vegetasei. She had pictures of her lost family, friends and her beloved, Raditz. Frieza didn't approve of all the things that reminded him of Vegetasei but he really saw no danger since Vegeta, prince of all Saiyans had little memory of his old life.
Norriko could her footsteps running to her room. A man stood in front of her door, breathing heavily with a smile on his face.
"Prince Vegeta is here!" the alien warrior shouted excitedly not knowing of the great pain Norriko was going through. Everyone would anticipate the Prince's arrivial, for some strange reason, only Vegeta gave them all something no money could buy, hope.
Norriko still sat on her bed.
"Norriko? Are you okay?" The warrior asked in worriment.
The man was from a planet in the 2nd galaxy, a race of demons, fierce warriors fit for Frieza's army. His planet was destroyed also because of their refusal of the demon people to join in free will. The man was about 6'4 and very muscular. He had light brownish blonde hair and green eyes. He wore a black muscle shirt and black pants with a yellow belt.
"Nothing's wrong Kasumyo. Leave!" Norriko commanded.
Kasumyo still approached; slowly he sauntered closer to her.
"You mustn't have heard me…LEAVE!" Norriko yelled as she threw a pillow at him followed by various things she could get her hands on.
Kasumyo dodged as many things as he could and then ran out of the room. When he left many warriors and what was left of the Saiyan race ran through the hallways to greet Prince Vegeta.
As the hours went on she stayed by herself thinking of what the hell she was going to do without him.
(:FlashBack:)
Norriko sat on Raditz's bed, thinking of how she could put all her thoughts into sentences that actually made sense. Raditz stood next to the large rectangular window on the other side of the room.
"Norriko, why have you came here?" Raditz said bluntly.
Norriko fumbled with her words and fidgeted nervously, this was a big step.
Just say it Norriko. Just spit it out!
Raditz grew more and more impatient as the time past and she still hadn't said anything.
"SPIT IT OUT! Damn It Norriko!" Raditz roared causing Norriko to jump.
"Raditz I came here to say is that. I…" Norriko drifted.
Raditz stared out the window and continued to take deep breathes for it annoyed him that she was mumbling her words.
"Raditz I-" Norriko began.
"Don't say it!" Raditz interrupted as if he knew what she was going to say.
Norriko looked at him with confused look on her face.
"I love you! Raditz-" Norriko confessed but was interrupted again by Raditz.
"Stop! Norriko don't be stupid! Don't say it cause you don't mean it. There is no hope for us…" Raditz said walking away from the window.
There was silence. Raditz took off his chest armor and sat on the opposite edge of where Norriko was sitting. He sighed and Norriko stood up.
"Raditz, if you don't love me in return, I can understand but don't tell what I mean and don't! I know I love you!" Norriko exclaimed.
Norriko walked to the window. Tears fell from her eyes and they shined in the starlight like perfect diamonds.
"I know because when I gaze upon the stars I understand their true beauty and that they're not just planets. Now I understand why the sky is blue and the grass is green. You never see clearly till you're in love…" Norriko went on.
Raditz sat on the bed, he had wished for her talk, now he wished she'd shut up.
"Onna, The stars are planets and planets are stars. The grass is green and the sky is blue because it just is. Being in love doesn't mean you see clearer, it means you look upon the world with shut eyes. OPEN YOU GOD DAMN EYES, NORRIKO!" Raditz roared.
Norriko shook her head, disagreeing with the stubborn saiyan.
"Stop it, Norriko! Don't you shake your head. Norriko, are we in the position to be in love? Huh? No! We are slaves, Norriko get that through your thick head. What do you expect to come out this? Huh? That we'll get married, fuck and have kids? Live Happy ever after? What do you want to do? Repopulate the Saiyan race or have more poor souls born into our way of life? What is it?" Raditz yelled in a furious rage.
Norriko wept and took the verbal lashing from Raditz. It was so hurtful.
"I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I CARE! Cause I do! That's it, that's all…" Norriko sobbed as she got to her knees.
Norriko just kept saying over and over again "I didn't think that far, I just wanted you to know I love you, that's it".
Raditz stood strong trying to prove that nothing could happen with them but as he watched her cry and mumble junk to herself, he felt bad for the things he said. He always forgot how much weaker women were mentally then men. Raditz's heart felt differently then what his mind told him to say. He knew what she meant. Yes, he did know, now why the stars were so beautiful and why the sun of the nine planet galaxy shined so brightly. Yes, he loved her and he wanted to live happily ever after with her but under Frieza's control, it would never happen. They had to get out first, to defeat Frieza but how?
Raditz got to his knees and embraced Norriko, holding her close to his heart, so that she knew his heart beat was the same as hers.
Norriko embraced back. There they were in each others' arms not knowing where to go from there.
(:End Of FlashBack:)
Norriko sobbed harder, hating herself and Raditz, for leaving and for never telling her, his feelings.
Maybe he never cared…
Norriko wiped her eyes and then turned her head towards the door. She heard boots stride against the metal floor in the hallway and another pair of boots behind the other. The closer they got the louder the noise, immediately she knew who it was.
In the darkness she saw a slight outline of two men, one enormously big (big meaning muscular) man and a young man stood in front. The young man turn on the lights.
"Still moaning over long haired saiyan, Raditz?" the young man questioned in a flat tone.
Norriko turned her head and answered angrily "Prince Vegeta? What else am I suppose to do?"
"Don't go back talking to your prince, girl!" Nappa roared shaking his fist.
"Let me tell you something woman, you know very well that Raditz would be disgusted the way you are acting! He always wanted to get out of here and rebel against Frieza, carry out his dream with us! He would want his child to live a free life!" Vegeta snapped.
"What are you proposing Prince Vegeta?" Norriko asked as a smirk took form upon her wet face.
Vegeta looked up at Nappa, who was not sure where the conversation was leading.
"A Revolution…" was all that Vegeta said as he walked out Norriko's room.
Nappa glanced at Norriko and Norriko glanced back, confusingly. A tear fell from her eyes but not of sadness but of happiness. Those sweet words, she waited too long but wasn't ready to live up to.
Nappa gave off an evil grin and followed Vegeta down the hall.
A revolution? A revolution…finally…wait no. No no not now.
(:Flashback:)
Raditz was only a teenager.
'Getting them while they're young and stupid, is always best.' was Frieza motto.
Raditz trained with the best and once trained with the Prince, which was an honor. He barely talked, only if he was forced to.
"Raditz!" A tall lime green man with warrior armor on addressed.
Raditz slowly turned around and then saw it was the general and immediately saluted.
"Yes, sir!" Raditz responded.
The lime green man name was Toto but he never liked being called that. Everyone called him, General and if anyone would call him by his real name, they were in for it. He had unusual large fists and a large really shiny head. A shiny head you always wanted to make fun of but then you thought of those large fists and decided it would be best not to say anything.
"Raditz, you have an assignment." The General said with a slight chuckle.
Raditz nodded.
"What's the assignment sir?" Raditz asked with an evil eye, he didn't like the look General was giving him.
"She is your assignment." General laughed as he stepped to the side to reveal a young saiyan girl with long black hair, a black tail wrapped around the General's leg and a face of pure innocence.
"This is your first training assignment, so we'll be grading you on your progress with her. Do your best or their will be chastisement. Good luck Raditz!" The General warned as he pulled the little saiyan girl off his leg and walked away.
"Hmph, Follow me." Raditz said frustrated.
Years later
That little girl grew up into a cruel world of slavery. Raditz trained her well and The General was impressed with her improvement, even Frieza.
"Norriko, Faster! No! Do it again! Faster!" Raditz ordered as Norriko tried again and again to get Raditz's guard down.
"I said FASTER ! Damn it, Norriko!" Raditz yelled at her.
Norriko could barely breathe, she couldn't stand it anymore.
"I need a break Raditz." Norriko shouted while she breathed heavily.
Raditz rolled his eyes at Norriko who was sweating profusely. She was wearing just a small shirt and shorts to train so it wouldn't weigh her down and Raditz was wearing heavy weighing armor for his own training.
"Okay but you'll owe me three hours of training later!" Raditz reminded her.
Norriko smiled, she could always make him say yes to her every demand. Norriko jumped on Raditz and hugged him.
"Thank you, you little girly saiyan man!" She said with enormous smile planted on her sweet face.
She loved calling him girly saiyan man because of his long hair. Raditz sighed and pushed the teenage Norriko off him.
Norriko liked to push his buttons but today something was on his mind. She asked about it repeatedly but it didn't get anywhere just got her more hours training. Raditz walked out of the training designation area and Norriko followed. She knew something was wrong but what?
Norriko trailed behind him and when he would turn around to check if anyone was following him, she'd hide behind the door of the other warriors' accommodations. She was doing well but then she felt a large hand grab her shoulder.
She shrieked and her saiyan instinct told her to hit. She swung her fist with her eyes shut but the man blocked it.
"Whoa! Little lady, why are following Raditz? Huh?" The General winked as he slapped her back.
Raditz heard her scream and ran to her aid.
"Norriko, what's wrong? Were you following me?" Raditz asked.
"Raditz, you need to accompany the King, the Prince and their body guards to meet with Frieza in five minutes!" The General told Raditz in slight urgency.
Raditz nodded and began on his way but stopped and turned to the General.
"Can she come?" Raditz asked in embarrassed tone.
The General's smile enlarged and then he looked at Norriko, who began to blush.
The General nodded and with that gesture, Raditz grabbed Norriko's hand and took off running.
Raditz ran down the halls as fast his legs could take him, dragging Norriko behind him. He didn't want to be late and let The King down but it was inevitable.
Norriko followed behind Raditz but Norriko wasn't focusing on where they were going but on Raditz's hand that was holding hers. She could feel the heat being expelled from her cheeks. Then she tripped over step in the hall and almost fell to her knees but Raditz pulled her up and kept on running.
"Come on, Norriko! Focus!" Raditz shouted to her.
Why is he running so fast? I mean I know that he doesn't want to be late to accompany the King but just seems he knows something. Maybe I'm just paranoid.
Ahead Raditz could see the King's bodyguards trail behind the King and Prince. Raditz slowed down and followed. He didn't let go of Norriko's hand, he held on tighter as if he didn't want to lose her.
"What's wrong?" Norriko whispered in worriment.
"It's happening." He replied in a low stern tone.
"What's gonna happen?" Norriko asked.
He didn't answer her and Norriko was scared.
What's happening?
It was silent like some one died. Norriko could hear alittle what Frieza was saying to King Vegeta but not enough. Norriko didn't how long she stood there by Radiz, it was sort of threatening. Norriko looked up at Raditz and he was mumbling something.
"Father…Please think before you do it…please Father." Was all Norriko could hear.
Then Frieza began to yell which caused all of us to jump, Norriko wanted to cry, it reminded her of how her parents were killed.
Raditz suddenly pushed his way through the guards, concerned that something was happening and he saw something so horrifying that it took his breath away.
Frieza shot a blast through King Vegeta's chest, every hope and dream died with King Vegeta for both Raditz and the saiyan race. Prince Vegeta at first didn't say anything and his eyes filled with tears but then Raditz could feel his ki raise higher than any level anyone could comprehend. Raditz held Prince Vegeta back but Frieza wanted him to attack, so he pushed on.
"Let him go. I don't mind killing him too. He wouldn't have the gutsto hit me!" Frieza taunted.
Norriko stood there frozen, barely breathing. She fell to her knees feeling cold tears fall from eyes. Her knees throbbing from hitting the metal floor and her heart sank to the bottom of her chest.
No No No……
Norriko saw it replay over and over in her, the blast blow through his armor, him falling to the ground, the look on his face, the blood and Frieza's laugh. Norriko crunched up in a ball and kept shaking her head.
No No No…
"What are you doing here, girl?" Frieza yelled.
Norriko didn't answer.
"Don't make me ask twice!" Frieza warned.
Norriko looked up with tears streaming down her face, "I with…I'm with R-Raditz," she said shaking.
Before Frieza could say another word to Norriko, a blast was heard in the background, not in the ship but outside.
"Damn you Bardock!" Frieza muttered to himself. "I'll be back," he said with an evil grin.
Frieza left in his transporter and you could see him in space, in the distance. Raditz ran to Norriko's side. He wanted to comfort her but he didn't know how so he just caressed her back.
"I didn't mean for you to see that…" Raditz assured her.
Norriko nodded a "I know'. She turned to Vegeta who was still standing there.
"YOU SHOULD OF JUST LET ME BE! YOU SHOULD LET ME DESTROY HIM!" Prince Vegeta screamed at Raditz.
Raditz didn't say anything, he wasn't suppose to talk back to the Prince. After Raditz didn't say anything, Vegeta walked away into the dark halls.
Norriko looked around and gazed at the large windows surrounding the control center, gazing at Vegetasei, for some reason it was never as beautiful as it was now.
The King died protecting you, Vegetasei…that is a wonderful thing.
Norriko watched Frieza confront a group of saiyans.
That's kinda weird, what's going on?
Raditz wasn't paying attention, he was holding Norriko in his arms and tears fell from his eyes.
"Norriko, we'll get out of here. I promise we'll be free like we once were. Frieza will die but only when we are stronger will we win. I promise!" Raditz promised as he wiped his eyes.
Norriko looked at him then looked at Frieza. Frieza stuck out his finger and a ki blast began to form around it.
"What's going on, Raditz?" Norriko confusingly asked.
Raditz turned to her and she pointed at Frieza. Raditz jumped up and watched cautiously.
"No father, back away. Back away, Go!" Raditz said to himself.
He watched but he knew his father wouldn't leave.
"What's he doing?" Norriko questioned as she stood up and wiped her tears.
Frieza sent the ki blast towards Bardock and the other group of saiyans. Norriko's heart pounded against her chest.
"NOOOO! Father!" Raditz yelled pounding against the glass.
"Oh Kami, no! No More BloodShed!" Norriko cried holding Raditz from leaving to die with his father.
All they could do was watch, the brave saiyans fade away and die a slow painful death. Raditz fell to his knees and let his tears fall, for the first time in his whole life he cried openly. Norriko was sobbing loudly and mumbled through her whimpering "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."
She wrapped her arms around him and told him repeatedly that she was sorry. She glanced at the ki blast, it was still there.
What is that monster, Frieza doing now?
She realized what his real plan was.
She shook Raditz and he stared at the ki blast.
"It's heading for…Vegetasei." He concluded.
"It couldn't…he wouldn't" She fumbled.
They watched their only home disappear. Everything they ever had, gone. They both had never felt so alone and helpless.
"I promise Norriko, we will get freedom, together."
