Chapter 15: Here Comes the Warrior Bride

1st P.O.V.

I handed Kuwi the fake key and left quickly, back to my shared room with Frieza. There were only a few hours before the wedding, but like he warned, Frieza was back early, along with his father and brother.

King Kold was enormous, and he reminded me of Freiza's second form I had seen in my vision. Frieza came up to his knee, so I was at his mid-calf. Kooler looked like Freiza's final form I had seen as well, and he was only a few inches taller than me.

"There you are, I was about to start looking for you." Frieza said, hinting at something bad.

"I was just stretching my legs. I didn't leave the wing."

"Good girl. Katrin, this is Kooler, my older brother, to my right, and to my left is my father, King Kold. This is Katrin, my bride."

"I'm very honored to meet you both, my lords." I bowed.

"Are all the Sayjins this well trained, brother?" Kooler asked.

"If they're not, they should be. Isn't that right, Katrin?" Frieza started laughing.

"Yes, my lord." I replied, lowering my eyes.

"Well, come along. We have a lot to do before the wedding, and we must leave Katrin so she can get ready. Dodoria will fetch you at the time of the wedding."

"Farewell, my lords." I bowed as they left the room. I went over to the intercom and called Chi-chi. Bulma was with her, so I asked that she come as well.

I paced the room as I waited for the humans. I had a plan and they were needed for it to succeed. It was quite simple: we were going to fight Frieza. His brother and father were part of the enemy, but I was sure I could sway all of Planet Vegeta's people to help. That included the Sayjins, humans, Namekians, and anyone else on the planet. Maybe I'm just a naïve fool, but if we all worked together, we could beat Frieza.

The knock at the door made me jump, but I was relieved to see that it was only Bulma and Chi-chi. I ushered them in and closed the door.

"Katrin, what's going on?" Chi-chi asked.

"Yeah, shouldn't you be getting ready for the wedding?" Bulma asked.

"We have plenty of time, right now I've got bigger tails to cut." That's the equivalent to earth's bigger fish to fry.

"What are you talking about?"

"We're going to over throw Frieza tonight."

"What!" Chi-chi screeched.

"Shh! Do you want someone to hear you?" I snapped, "I've seen Freiza's true nature, and he needs to be destroyed. I'm going to lead the fight against him."

"You can't be serious? This is Frieza we're talking about!" Bulma said.

"I know exactly who he is. I've got it all planned out. Chi-chi, I want you to go. Get as far away as you can, I don't want my nephew getting hurt. And take Kakorot with you, go far away, to earth maybe. Live happy together, far from Frieza. Once this gets started it'll be messy."

"Katrin, what makes you think they'll listen to you? You're a third class Sayjin." Bulma asked.

"Because I have this." I took out the royal crest, "I went to the dungeon and I met with prince Vegeta. He gave this to me before he died."

"He's dead? He can't be dead, he's a Super Sayjin. Vegeta can't be-" Bulma started to cry, and Chi-chi tried to comfort her. When that didn't work, Chi-chi motioned for me to try something.

What can I say? I'm no good at this stuff.

I walked up to Bulma and put my hand on her shoulder.

"Bulma, he died with honor. You couldn't ask more than that from anyone. And he wasn't alone when he died, I was there." I said. She looked up to me.

"I use to sneak into the dungeon to visit him when we were little, but one day I was caught, and I wasn't allowed to go there anymore. I haven't seen him since."

"I know this is hard, but I need your help. For Vegeta."

"What do you want me to do?" she asked as she dried her tears.

"Right now all I need you to do is help me get ready for my wedding. Chi-chi, I want you to go now. Tell my family what's happening. Get Kakorot and go."

"I'll go, but if Kakorot wants to stay, I'll stay as well."

"I think I can see why Kakorot fell in love with you. Now go on." Chi-chi left as Bulma helped me clean up for the wedding.

"So, what's your plan?"

"Nappa is going to release all the prisoners once the bells start. When I give the signal, we're all going to attack. I'll get my people, and all of Planet Vegeta's people to help. I'll lead like Prince Vegeta said I could."

Time passed rather slowly while I was cleaning up, and I was ready with a few hours to spare before the wedding.

"Now what?" I asked.

"We wait. What's going to happen once this is all over?" Bulma asked.

"Stop! Stop! I can't… breathe!" I was laughing so hard my sides began to hurt.

"Who's the best fighter in the galaxy!" Goku cried out.

"I won't say it!" I said through the laughs.

"Say it!" Goku urged.

"No!" I cried.

"Say it, mama!" A little girl screamed happily. There was also a little boy who looked a lot like my father.

"All right! Goku is the best fighter in the galaxy!" I cried. They stopped tickling me and I finally got in a deep breath.

"Yeah! I'm the best!" Goku cheered.

"I only said that so you'd stop tickling me." I said as I got up, still laughing a little.

"Yeah, but I still beat you." Goku said.

"Whatever it is, it's better than this." I sighed.

Where ever that place is, its happier than here. What if Cell was right? Where is he, anyway?

"Well, I have to go help prepare the food for the ceremony. I'll see you later, right? I'm ready to help kick some butt!"

"If you want to help at all, you better get a weapon. A lot of fighters are stronger than me, so you wouldn't stand a chance unarmed."

"I'll get one, no problem." She winked at me as she left.

"Now what? Guess I'm all alone."

So I did the only think I could think of, I thought out a battle plan. I went and stared out the window that faced my home.

Frieza is strong, and I've heard that Kooler is superior to him in strength. Its rumored he even has a fifth form. And King Kold is huge; he could take out ten men with one arm, and that's without energy blasts. I'll get the Sayjins to focus on those three, and everyone else can fight the guards.

But what if uncle Bardock was right? What if his visions were just early? Could Frieza destroy an entire planet? I've cleared planets, but Bardock said the planet blew up.

What if I'm over my head? Maybe I should just be peaceable and marry Frieza, call the whole war off.

But this isn't right. It doesn't feel right.

Those visions feel right.

Is that why I'm doing this? Because of those visions? That's crazy, but at the same time it isn't.

I got up and went to the mirror to see how ridiculous I looked. I did look ridiculous. The dress was puffy and white with purple, just like an Icejin. But I was able to hide a set of the new model armor under it. My hair was all put up funny, too. And there was paint on my face.

"Do humans do this?"

"Yes, sometimes." I turned to see a human with black hair behind me, just out of range of the mirror.

"Who are you?"

"I've upgraded. I can help now."

"Cell?" he nodded, "Go away!" I picked up a hand mirror and threw it at him. He caught it and sat it down onto the table I just picked it up from.

"You don't want seven years bad luck now, do you?"

"You're real?"

"I told you last time I was. I upgraded myself, so now I'm tangible. And I'm not human, I'm Sayjin. If 17 saw this tail he'd flip, as you use to say."

"Good, you're just in time for the war."

"What war?" he asked, looking serious.

"I'm leading a strike against Frieza. This'll be the first battle of a revolution."

"You can't, you'll be killed!"

"I'll die with honor in battle. Are you going to help me, or lie some more?"

"Both. You have to realize this isn't real."

"It was real enough for me last night. If you're such a good friend, and if you're so strong, then why didn't you stop him?"

"I wasn't tangible last night, remember? Frieza looked right through me." He said. I did remember that, but I shook it off.

"But you're real now, is that right? So you can help stop Frieza now, right?"

"I can try, but I'm weaker than you in this realm."

"Whatever! You lied about that too. You're insane, that's what it is."

"You're not who you think you are."

"I'm a third class Sayjin, and that's all!"

"You power far surpasses that! Your power surpassed Freiza's a long time ago!"

"Frieza is a god, I could never match him. But I will try anyway."

"I know you had a vision not to long ago. It had your children in it."

"My children? Playing with Kakorot, I saw that."

"His name is Goku, and your name is Katie Katrin Briefs. You lived in another dimension for fifteen years, and then you were brought to the dimension you live in now. You were born there, but taken away before Frieza blew up Planet Vegeta."

"If you haven't noticed, we're on Planet Vegeta!"

"A false one, dammit Katie! You're smarter than this!"

"Yeah, that's why I'm a lowly warrior and not a scientist." I smarted-off. He was on my last nerve, so I guess I was trying to get on his.

"What's the area for a triangle?" he asked.

"1/2 base times height."

"The formula for finding the sides to a triangle?"

"A squared plus B squared equals C squared."

"And what's the formula for photosynthesis?"

"6 H2O + 6 CO2 - 6 O2 + C6 H12 O6."

"Why would a warrior know that?" Cell asked.

Yeah, how did I know that? It just popped into my head.

"I don't know. Maybe Raditz told me or something."

"You learned all of that when you were in school on earth."

"I've never been to earth!"

"Fine. I can't get you to listen now, but I'll keep at it. I'll help with your revolution."

"Really?" I said, startled.

"I'd do anything for you."

"Right. Here, put this on. You can't be seen in that." I tossed him my old pair of armor, which was by-gender, and had him change. His human clothes were too loud, black, orange, red, and green. When he came out he looked just like a Sayjin.

"So, what's all this about? How's this going down?" he asked.

"The wedding begins pretty soon. I'll be taken where all of the Sayjins can see us, the top balcony of the castle on the south side. The bells will start the ceremony. Frieza, the clergyman, and I will be the only ones on the balcony. You need to go down to the dungeon and take out the guard, and help Nappa and the other prisoners escape. When I give the signal, we'll all attack."

"What's the signal?"

"I don't know, but you'll know it when I give it." I shrugged.

"Sounds good to me. You've always been a good leader."

"Sure I have. Go now so you'll be there in time."

There was a knock at the, which made me jump. I answered it, and found it was Bulma again.

"Katrin, are you ready?"

"As ready as I'll ever be. Cell, come here. Bulma, show Cell to the dungeon. Then I want you gone too."

"No way, I'm helping. See?" she had a laser gun strapped to her leg under her uniform.

"Good girl. You two go on now. Dodoria will be here soon." They both went to turn, but Cell stopped and looked at me, as if he wanted to say something. "Cell?"

Cell walked up to me and forced me into a kiss. At first I fought back, but after a moment it started to feel so good. I relax and kissed him back. Then he broke away, not even making eye contact.

What am I doing? He felt so… so real. More real than anything I can remember…

Cell and Bulma left together and I went back to my seat to wait for Armageddon.
