Chapter 11: Foreign Memories
1st P.O.V.
The Red Giant sun of planet Vegeta began to rise, giving the atmosphere it's normal red tint. Bulma left quickly and I went inside to get ready for Freiza's servants to arrive.
Packing was easy, all I had to bring was my Scouter, my only possession really. The farewell was the part I was dreading. Sayjins aren't emotional, so we don't really have culture. We don't have art of any kind but the art of war. Expression was hard after training for years to suppress it.
When the servant arrived I was shocked to see it was Zarbon and not some lower servant.
"Hurry with your good-byes, monkey. Frieza is awaiting you." he said rather diplomatically. I turned to face my family, all who were left of the once great warrior family. We were once noblemen of Planet Vegeta, but since our offspring started to produce 3rd class children, we lost our title. The last great warrior was my father. After him things went downhill.
"I don't really have anything to say." I said.
"Let the moon guide you well." Bardock said. It was an old Sayjin proverb that meant to use your head.
"Be careful, kid. I think you'll make a decent Queen for Frieza." Raditz said, shaking my hand.
"Katrin, be careful." Kakorot said.
"Bye Katrin." My parents said.
"I'll see you around sometime." Then I turned, head held high, and followed Zarbon out of the village.
"Touching." Zarbon scoffed.
"Emotions only get in the way."
"Don't they?" then he fell silent, as did I.
"Let him go. You beat him." I spat. Frieza had his tail wrapped tight around Vegeta's neck, squeezing what was left of his life out.
"And if I do so, and he somehow manages to live to come back after me, he'll be stronger. I am not a fool."
"Are you scared Vegeta will be stronger than you? You know as well as I do that he's as good as dead." I said, fighting more tears.
"Are those tears? Are you actually crying over this fool?" he laughed, pointing a finger to Vegeta.
"So what if I am? Who will cry over you when you die?" I asked him. He grew serious and very angry.
"Fine." He threw Vegeta onto the ground and turned away. "I'll give you ten minutes. That's all."
I picked up Vegeta and took him over near the others, placing him down gently as I could with my arm injured. The others were Gohan from before and the same human male I'd seen previously, plus the Namekian warrior I had seen fighting Frieza before.
"Vegeta, can you hear me?" I asked softly.
"Katie… This is what you were… hiding from me, wasn't it?"
"Yes. I can't defeat Frieza, but there is one who can."
"Kakorot."
"Yes. He'll be here soon. Save your energy. You'll need it."
"Katie… you are a ruthless fighter… much like myself. If I could have… had a daughter… I hoped she would be like you."
"That means the world to me." I turned and faced Frieza, who was turned away from us. "I promise you Frieza will pay."
We all stood in silence for a moment as Vegeta's labored breathing grew worse. I said a prayer for Vegeta and stood to welcome Goku/Kakorot. As soon as he was there and started taking in his surroundings, I turned back to Vegeta. Vegeta stretched out his hand and took my own, seeking comfort. I took his hand willingly and held it close to my face.
Frieza turned to watch Goku as he walked over to us. He took his time and looked each of us over, and the others stood as I was knelt. His eyes at last fell to Vegeta.
"Katie, what happened?" Goku asked.
"First Frieza killed Dende. He was just a harmless little Namek boy, and then he proceeded to attack Vegeta. He… he doesn't have much time, Goku." I was holding back tears.
"Why?" he asked.
"He's a monster." I said. Goku turned and knelt by Vegeta.
"Kakorot, I have to tell you something," he grasped my hand harder in pain as he struggled to talk, and tears were flowing freely down the fallen prince's face. "… Frieza is the one that… destroyed our people. He killed both our fathers in cold blood… and then blew up our home world. You have to stop him; you are the last true Sayjin left. You have to avenge us all-"
Frieza interrupted the statement by sending another blast through Vegeta's chest.
"The ten minutes are up." He said calmly, with a hint of a smile hidden behind his scowl. But Vegeta wasn't dead yet.
"Kakorot, you have to kill him… for all… of us…" then Vegeta grew silent. His hand was limp in my own.
"Well, he finally shut up, did he?" Frieza laughed.
"You monster!" I spat.
"What's the problem, monkey?"
"Nothing." I said. That image wasn't painful, but it was meaningful in some way.
"Don't take me for a fool. Why else would you be crying? Does the little monkey miss her family already?"
The tears are from that last image, and not truly my own.
"Something just got into my eye, that's all."
"So be it, monkey." He scoffed and turned back forward.
"Shouldn't you call me 'your highness' or something?"
"I will never think of you as royalty. A monkey is still a monkey."
I really couldn't argue with him on that point. He only sees us as lower beings, even if there was a Super Sayjin, Zarbon would still call him a monkey.
When we entered the castle, Zarbon directed Chi-chi to take me to the North Wing of the castle to my room, and get me ready for Frieza. I followed beside Chi-chi and examined all of my surrounding. Clearly his castle was built from Icejin architecture and not Sayjin.
"Did you tell Kakorot that you know about the baby?"
"Yes, I told him last night." I said quickly.
"Aren't you going to miss your family?"
"No."
"That's not true."
"How would you know?" I snapped.
"Because I can tell." She said when we entered my room.
"Whatever. When is Frieza going to want to see me?"
"Tonight, dinner." Chi-chi said. "Your new armor is in the bureau." Then she left.
Frieza's room was nearly as big as my house. The bed was a four poster and the balcony overlooked my old village. I went out to the balcony and took one more breath of fresh air before I changed into my new royal Sayjin armor.
Then something peculiar happened. All of a sudden a man, an insect, appeared in my room.
"Who are you? How did you get in here?"
"Then you really don't recognize me?" this male had long black wings and bright pink eyes.
"Who are you? What are you?"
"I am called Cell. You really don't know who I am."
"What are you talking about?" I asked. The name seemed familiar, but I couldn't place him.
"It's going to be hard to explain, but I have to tell you the truth."
"I don't have time for this, leave now or I'll call for Frieza. I'm to marry him tomorrow, you know."
"I could destroy Frieza with a thought, Katie."
"My name is Katrin. Wait, did you say Katie?"
"Yes. That is your name."
"What are you?"
"I'm a bio-android from a future that never happened. I came back to destroy Goku, and it was then that I met you."
"You're no lady, lady." Cell said.
"And you're not perfect, android 21." I said as we were flying.
"You're being awfully calm about all this." Cell said suspiciously.
"Well, I trust that you'll keep your word."
"Why?"
"Because you always keep your word…."
"Are you okay?"
"Your other name was Android 21."
"You just saw a memory." He sighed.
"Wait, how did you…?"
"I can explain everything, if you wish." Cell said. I nodded to him.
So then Cell told me a story that made absolutely no sense. He was trying to tell me I was raised in another dimension and I had saved the universe from a great threat ten years ago.
"You are crazy. I'm Katrin, and I have never seen you before. If we're such good friends, prove it."
"You have been seeing visions, right? You've seen a boy with purple hair? He's your mate, and he's waiting for you. This illusion is going to kill you! It isn't real!"
"Do you really expect me to believe what you're saying? If this is an illusion, then why do I have memories of my life here, and none of your so-called reality?"
"I told you, a wizard trapped you here. He replaced your memories with fake ones."
"I don't believe this! Get out right now!"
"Not without you."
"Then I'm going to call Frieza."
"Fine, call him. I'm not scared of him. I told you, I could destroy him in a second."
"You're serious? You really think you can kill Frieza?"
"I killed a Super Sayjin, so fighting Frieza would be overkill."
"You're stronger than a Super Sayjin? I don't understand…" I turned away to think, but it didn't help. All of my thoughts were jumbled up.
"This is only an illusion, Katie! Come with me now or you'll die!"
"Leave me alone!" I turned from him, but he wouldn't leave. He didn't move as I went into the bathroom to change into my new, more feminine armor.
"Besides that, I don't think anyone but you can see me."
"In other words, I am going crazy and you're a hallucination."
"Katie, you have to understand, I am the only one who can help you."
"I don't need anyone's help." I snapped. I proceeded to tie up my new boots and put on my new gloves.
"If you could only believe my story, then you would agree that you need my help."
"Well I don't believe it."
"Check your Scouter, then. If I'm a hallucination, my power level won't appear."
"Fine, I will…" I locked onto him and read his power level, but the message read 'error' on it. He was there, but no reading was given.
"Well?"
"This reading can't be right. It's locked onto you, but your power level is undetectable."
"That's because my body is out in the real world, along with your body and all of your friends and family."
"My body is right here, see? The Scouter is just misreading your Ki."
"Fine, believe what you will, you stubborn monkey!" Cell finally lost his temper. I looked at him closer. He seemed hurt that I didn't trust him.
"You're serious, aren't you? If this were a joke, you wouldn't be so mad. Maybe-"
"Katrin, what is going on here?" Frieza walked in just then, disrupting my train of thought. He looked around the room, and looked right through Cell as though he wasn't there.
"I told you he can't see or hear me." Cell said.
"Nothing, I was just getting changed into my new armor." I said.
"Well, I presume you are ready for your tour?"
"Yes, Lord Frieza."
"Fine, follow me." I followed Frieza out of my room. Cell followed me.
"Why won't you go away?" I hissed at Cell.
"What was that?" Frieza asked, hearing my last remark.
"I said, what a wonderful hallway. I presume it is Icejin architecture?"
"Yes, you can tell by the arches and the colors. We Icejins prefer light coloring, it stimulates the senses better."
"Its beautiful. Only you could dream of something this grand." Cell directed to me.
"Its beautiful, Lord Frieza. I noticed that there aren't any other Icejin on the planet. Why is that?"
"My people and yours really aren't all that different. We have the common people and a ruling family. My father is King Kold, and my older brother is Kooler. They both rule another part of this galaxy, as I rule this part. My father rules from our home-world."
As Frieza showed me around the corridors of the castle, I noticed the assortment of doors. There was hundreds, and it was hard to determine if one lead to another corridor or to a room.
"What do you think of your new home, Katrin?" Frieza asked. It hadn't taken all afternoon to tour the castle. I was starting to believe that living with Frieza wasn't such a bad thing anymore. He was nice, a trait I didn't know he could possess.
"Its beautiful. I assume the large number of doors are used to confuse intruders?"
"Yes. They're to keep anyone from escaping, especially you."
"What?"
"I can't be having my new wife trying to run away, now, can I?"
"What are you talking about?" I asked cautiously. This didn't sound good at all.
"That doesn't sound good." Cell said in return.
"I own you, and therefor I will do whatever I wish with you."
"You wouldn't!" I hissed at him.
"Oh, wouldn't I?" he grabbed my arm and starting dragging me back toward his room.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" I stared screaming as loud as I could.
"It won't do you any good, no one can hear you, and if they can they won't help you."
"Someone, please! Help me!"
"I said shut up!" Frieza slapped me with his clawed hand and drew blood. He then roughly grabbed my face and licked the blood off my cheek. "Sweet."
I was scared, thinking death would come all too soon. I looked over to Cell, the strange bug-man who kept following me.
"I can't help you anymore. I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry. I wish I could kill him and stop this, but I can't. Goodbye, Katie." He turned away in disgust and disappeared.
We reached Freiza's room and he tossed me inside with no problem. I hit the floor hard and I was reluctant to get up. He was staring at me with a hungry look in his eyes.
"What are you going to do to me?"
"Show you your place."
Frieza then proceeded to throw me onto the bed, and he climbed on after me. He quickly removed his chest armor, showing his ugly white and pink scales. I was scared stiff, and I knew if I tried to fight back it would only be that much worse.
He smacked me again with his tail, knocking me flat on the bed. He then climbed on top of me, and held me down with his tail as he started removing my armor.
"Please, don't-"
"Why not? Tomorrow you are to be my wife, so I thought tonight I'd give you a taste of your fate. I'm going to make you Bond with me in front of all your pathetic race, and then I'll lock you away as the sex toy you are."
"Why go through all the trouble?" I squeezed out as he continued to remove my armor.
"Because the law of your people says that to rule I need to take a mate."
"So all I am to you is a tool." I spat.
"Yes, as are all of your people." My armor now stripped, I was left in the spandex suit that goes on under the armor. He began to slowly remove that now.
"Nothing I say would stop you from doing this?" I asked.
"Nothing." He replied with a dark smile.
