Chapter 9: Night Visions

1st P.O.V.

I couldn't sleep. I was sitting on the roof of our small home, the one I'd be leaving tomorrow, and I stared out at the stars. It was late, probably early morning, but I was too upset to sleep. I was going to marry Frieza, whether I liked it or not, and then there were these visions I kept having. They couldn't be memories, and it couldn't be the future, so what were they? Was I losing my mind?

Kakorot, now as Goku, was face to face with Frieza. But he looked different. His hair was golden and his eyes were blue.

"Frieza, your reign of terror ends here."

"Who- who are you?" Frieza asked in shock.

"You really don't know who I am? I am the answer to all who are weak and helpless, crying out in pain. I am the deliverer of justice. I… am called Goku, and I… am a Super Sayjin!"

"A Super Sayjin? Not Kakorot, not my cousin. I must be going crazy. I was born with a power level higher than his and my power level was a joke compared to Prince Vegeta's. If any one was going to become a Super Sayjin, it would be Vegeta."

But still, there he was. Just as the legend states.

"Katrin, are you up there?"

"Yeah, what do you want Raditz?"

"Its late, why don't you come in and go to sleep already? You have a… a big day tomorrow."

"I'll be in when I'm good and ready." I called back. I sensed Raditz leave. The humans have a trick to feel out another's Ki, but I don't have it mastered or anything. I usually use the Scouters, they seem more dependable.

I hated being so mean to my family, but it would make it easier to leave. Besides, I don't need anyone.

"Enter." Vegeta said smugly. When he saw it was me he snorted.

"I wanted to thank you for helping with Goku, even though that's not how you'd say it." I took a seat near Vegeta as we began to talk. We were both in Sayjin armor, and mine was the custom wear of an elite.

"I'll need his help to defeat Frieza. That's all; I still consider Kakorot, his brat, the human, and you my enemies, along with Frieza."

"So then who do you consider your friends?" "Friendship is for the weak." He spat. "Allies?" I pushed. "I've never had a true ally. Not even Nappa, and he was my partner for nearly twenty years." He said.

"Then mind if I join you?" Kakorot called out of his window.

"Come on up." I called. Kakorot made me jump.

"What are you doing up here, anyway?"

"Thinking."

"Don't hurt yourself." Kakorot replied sarcastically. I snorted at him.

"Kakorot, why didn't you tell me about her?"

"Who?"

"Chi-chi, one of the human servants to Frieza. I met her today."

"Oh. I wanted to tell you, but we decided to wait until the baby was born." He looked at the stars. His eyes were full of hope.

"What's his name going to be? Gohan?"

"That's what Chi-chi wants."

"You actually love her, don't you?"

"Hey Gohan, did your mom or dad ever tell you about how they got engaged?"

"Yes, I do. I'm surprised you're taking this so well."

"I don't get it. I just had a vision of myself tell Gohan, as a teenager, about how you and that human female got together. We were sitting like the two of us are now. But I was nearly the same age I am now."

"Katrin, you can't let Frieza know. If he finds out-"

"I won't let him know. Kakorot, can I tell you about my latest visions?"

"Sure, I'm a little curious."

"It looks as though we aren't ourselves. You seem more innocent, like you don't have your Sayjin instincts. It's the same with me. The others in these visions called you Goku and me Katie. I saw the two of us fighting Raditz like an enemy. I saw you fighting Frieza as a Super Sayjin. And I've seen Prince Vegeta a few times. And there's a boy, with purple hair, and he loves me. In the visions, I love him, too."

"You can't be serious?"

"I'm dead serious. I think I'm going crazy. Kakorot, I don't know what to do!"

"Shh, do you want to wake up the entire village?"

"You don't understand! I'm scared, Kakorot. I'll admit it. And I don't know how to fix it."

"Bardock had visions once, but they wore off. They weren't real. Remember he thought Frieza was going to kill us all? He's lucky he only got his tail cut off."

"I don't want to imagine what Frieza would do to me."

"I'll stand by my word and keep this a secret."

"Wait. Kakorot… do you think your father can help?"

"I know he would. Are you going to talk to him about it?"

"I think so. Is he still up?"

"Yeah, you know how he never sleeps anymore." Kakorot looked out at the stars again. He went in after that.

It wasn't too long before I followed Kakorot inside. I went to my uncle's room. Nervous, it took me a moment before I could knock at the door.

"Who is it?"

"Uncle Bardock, its me, Katrin."

"Enter."

I went inside, seeing papers, maps, and books all over the place. Bardock was sitting on the window ledge, looking outside.

"What is it?" he asked, looking at me.

"I need to ask you something. About your visions."

"I thought I made that clear 23 years ago that I never wanted that mentioned again." he said, glaring at me.

"I know, but… I'm having them now."

"Come again?"

"I'm having visions now, too. Since I came back from my mission."

"Damn…"

Bardock didn't say anything for a while. He continued looking out the window, thinking.

"I don't know what to do."

"You can't let Frieza know." He said.

"I know that much. Kakorot is the only other person who knows."

"What are they? The future? Past?"

"That's the thing… I don't know. They don't add up."

"How so?"

"For one, Kakorot and I are together with human names, and we're fighting Raditz or prince Vegeta. And Frieza."

"My visions had the same thing."

"And then I see this boy… he is Sayjin, but not full-blooded. And he's my mate."

"I don't know what to tell you, Katrin. All I do know is that mine were false. Yours seem to be the same. Don't trust them."

"I see. Thank you, uncle." I started out the door.

"Katrin? Be careful tomorrow."

"I will be."

I was lying on my back, staring at the ceiling as sleep eluded me further.

Katie and Goku sound like human names, but I've never even been to earth. And Kakorot was a SSJ? I'm so confused. I better think on reality for a moment. Tomorrow I'm off to the palace, and then the day after that I'm marrying Frieza. That day might as well be a death sentence.

I had a moment of pain as another image popped into my head.

"I will take your power, one way or another. At first I thought I could kill you and take it, but now I see I'll have to try something different."

Then the strange humanoid creature said something in Icejin.

The pain caused my eyes to tear up, but it quickly passed.

Another vision. Why is this happening to me? Why can't I remember that mission any better than I can, and who are these people?

That boy, Mirai No Trunks, he seems important. Maybe if I can figure out who he is I can go back to normal.

What am I saying? He is nobody! The only person that matters is Frieza, and that's only because he could kill me in a heart beat. They aren't real.

I rolled over to my side, trying to get comfortable. It didn't help.

I had my head laying upon the chest of Mirai no Trunks. I had just woken up, and was surprised and shocked to see us like this, but it felt so good, and so right.

And with this last image in my head, I fell into a dreamless, blissful sleep.

I didn't sleep for long, though it was pleasant. Only a few hours later I woke and went downstairs. No one else was up yet, so I went to the training room to workout.

It seems like my life has been turned upside down since I returned from my first solo mission. Having to marry Frieza, and my half-breed nephew, not to mention these visions. I still can't believe Kakorot fell in love with a human.

I can't marry Frieza. He knows Sayjins Bond to mate, so if I bond with him we'll be stuck together. Up to this point I played nice, but I have to refuse him. There are other females who would gladly marry him.

What are these visions? Who are these people? Why do Kakorot and I have human names in them?

And as if trying to answer my questions, a vision popped up.

"Look Kakorot, we may not always agree, but Katie is being held captive by Cell. We have to rescue her."

"Vegeta, she'll be alright. And we can always bring her back later, right?"

"Besides, father, do you think Cell would let us waltz right in and take her? I trust that Katie knows what's she's gotten herself into, she does know all about him."

"I feel so damn useless, sitting here while Cell does who-knows-what to her."

"Oh great, another one."

I fell to my knees as I saw the vision, but I was up now and I turned off the gravity regulator.

That was 'Goku', Mirai No Trunks, and Prince Vegeta talking about 'Katie'. Mirai called Vegeta his dad. But no Sayjin would have purple hair, right? What is this?

Since I got no answer to my questions, I replied with a hard left hook to the hologram of a Namekian warrior. There aren't many Nameks who can fight, but the ones I've seen fight were very skilled, so I use one as a hologram at my own level.

I had an image come together of these visions, but there were major pieces left out. Kakorot and I had human names. Vegeta was there, with a son who was half-human from what I guessed. I had married this son, and we were in love. I had fought Frieza, along with Vegeta and 'Goku'. Goku was a Super Sayjin, and we were all on earth. But why, and how?

"Hey Katrin, get out of there would ya? You have a visitor!" Raditz called.

I haven't been in here long enough for it to be Freiza, so who could it be? I powered down and shut off the machine, drying off and exiting the room.

"Where is this visitor?" I asked my cousin.

"She's in the front room. Filthy human woke me up. What's planet Vegeta coming to?"

"A human? Female?" Raditz stormed off into the house as I followed to the front room. It was Bulma, the doctor from before.

"Oh, its you. What do you want?"

"I heard you were going to marry Frieza. I wanted to congratulate you."

"Congratulate me for marrying him? Gee, thanks."

"I take it you don't want to marry him?"

"Of course not!"

"Then don't."

"Even for a human, you're awfully dense." I sighed.

"What's that suppose to mean?"

"I can't just say no to Frieza! He's too powerful."

"But you could-"

"No one short of a Super Sayjin could defeat Frieza."

"A what?"

"You don't know what a Super Sayjin is?"

"No, I'm human, remember? Sayjin would rather spit on me than look at me twice."

"You have that right. In fact, if it wasn't for the—never mind."

"For the what?"

Should I tell her? She is a doctor, and she seems trusting enough…

Well, the visions answered that question as well.

Prince Vegeta and Bulma were standing next to one another as the priest finished the vows for Mirai and me. Mirai and I kissed, and afterwards I noticed Vegeta and Bulma doing the same.

"Hey, the priest said for Mirai to kiss his bride! That doesn't mean you can too!" Goku said to Vegeta.

Bulma started laughing, and Vegeta got an angry/embarrassed look on his face.

"I'll kiss my mate anytime I wish, Kakorot!"

"Katrin, are you alright?"

"Yes."

"Here, sit down-"

"Don't touch me!" I pulled my arm back and threw Bulma to the ground. She got up and looked me right in the eyes.

"I was only trying to help!"

"Well yelling isn't going to help, you'll wake up every Sayjin in the neighborhood!"

"Let them wake up! When I met you, I thought you may be different from the other Sayjins on the dirt-ball, but I see I was wrong. You're just another dirty monkey."

"You have no idea who you're dealing with." I hissed.

"You can't touch me! I'm under the protection of my master, Prince Vegeta!"

"What?"

"That's right, and if Frieza didn't have him in the dungeons right now, I'd-"

"Shut up. Did you say Prince Vegeta is in Frieza's dungeon?"

"Yes." she nodded.

"Then he lied. Frieza told me he was a member of the Ginyu force."

"Prince Vegeta wouldn't obey Frieza, so he was sent to the dungeon as a boy. That was shortly after I was sold to his father as a present for him."

I sank down onto on of the chairs in the room. Since no human is to ever be higher up than a Sayjin, Bulma sat on the floor.

"By now Vegeta would have to be really strong. After every injury, a Sayjin becomes stronger. If he has been tortured by Frieza, like Frieza does, then he could become a Super Sayjin."

"What is a Super Sayjin?"

"Legend states that ten-thousand years ago Tiom and his band of warriors were on a mission and his entire team was destroyed. Enraged and saddened, he transformed into a Super Sayjin, the strongest creature in the universe. But his power was too great to handle, and he nearly destroyed himself and all of planet Vegeta. His daughter came to him and helped him, and he was able to gain enough power over himself that he died, saving planet Vegeta. Another Super Sayjin is said to be born ten thousand years after Tiom and that it would mot likely be one of his descendents. That would be Prince Vegeta."

"And you really believe that?"

"As all Sayjins do. I believe Frieza does, too, or else why would he keep us on such a tight leash?"

"Maybe you could free Prince Vegeta. He could stop Frieza, right?"

"You're crazy. This is Frieza we're talking about. If I'm caught... even if I did, Prince Vegeta might not be…"

"Shouldn't you try? I heard your uncle Bardock had visions of Frieza destroying all of Planet Vegeta. What if he was right, just early?"

"Then wouldn't my visions tell me about it?"

"Your visions?"

"Dammit, I should have kept my mouth shut. You have to keep this a secret, only Kakorot knows besides you. Ever since I came back from my mission I have seen visions. I don't know what they are. It isn't the past, and it can't be the future."

"Frieza would kill you if he knew, wouldn't he?"

"Yes, so you have to promise me to keep this a secret. I feel like I can trust you, Bulma."

"Its funny, but I feel the same about you." she said.

"You better leave before the others get up. They wouldn't understand."

"I'll see you later. I know I will. And if you do find Prince Vegeta, tell him I miss him."

"See ya."
