Chapter 17: The Battle for Planet Vegeta
1st P.O.V.
Without any notice Dodoria barged into my room. But I stayed cool and stood when he came in.
"You clean up pretty well, for a Sayjin. Come on, its time."
I followed Dodoria out of the room for what was hopefully the last time and made my way toward the South wing. The top floor balcony was just high enough that everyone could see us and see us clearly. That was what I was counting on.
"You nervous, Sayjin?" Dodoria asked.
Yeah, I'm about to start a war…
"Of course, I'm about to marry the universe's most powerful being." Dodoria just laughed at my remark.
Keep laughing, pinky. If lord Frieza is right about my power, then I could take you down. Bardock could a few years ago, and I'm stronger than he was back then.
I'm still referring to Frieza as lord. That'll end today, one way or another…
If this all goes as I planned it, then planet Vegeta will be free again. I'd make Vegeta proud, and I'll find out if he made a wise choice choosing me.
"Alright, here we are. You know the drill, right?" Dodoria asked.
"Yes, my lord." I replied. He then proceeded to leave.
I'll be announced shortly, and I'll walk out and greet my people. Freiza's clergyman will say some sappy stuff, and I'll be asked to take the crown. That's when I'll make my move.
I waited as the bells began to chime, catching the attention of everyone around. I couldn't see anyone as I stood inside the balcony, but I heard them, and when they all grew quiet as Frieza started his speech.
"My dear people, I thank you for coming to the ceremony!" Frieza announced as the crowd cheered.
Yeah, because if they weren't there you'd kill them. That's great motivation.
"As you know, today I am getting married. I have chosen the most radiant and powerful Sayjin female, and together we will rule Planet Vegeta!" he paused for the crowd to cheer again. I wouldn't be surprised if guards were in the crowd making people cheer.
He's making me nervous, even more so than before. Am I embarrassed over the radiant thing, or nervous about the battle?
"I'd now like to introduce you to her, to all of my subjects and family. I now present Katrin, the daughter of Kanji, son of Rothgar!" when the crowd cheered I walked out and stood next to Frieza. I curtsied like before to him.
"Make it short and clear." He whispered as I stood back up. I nodded and turned to face the crowd.
There are a lot of people here. That's good, they'll be more to know the truth.
I walked to the edge of the balcony and stood as the crowd went silent once more. I scanned it quickly and found my family, right next to King Kold and Kooler.
Kakorot and Chi-chi are still here. I hope they're careful…
"Welcome everybody! I'm honored to be marrying Lord Frieza, and I'm honored that you have all come to see this historic event. But, we didn't come here to listen to me talk, so let the ceremony begin."
I curtsied to the crowd and walked back over to Frieza. He took my hand and squeezed it tight as we walked to the platform.
"That was pretty good, but we'll work on your public speaking later." He whispered. I ignored the pain in my hand as we walked over to the clergyman. He was an old Namekian, and he didn't look happy at all. He stood tall and spoke loud and clear for everyone to hear him.
"We have all gathered to witness a most blessed event. There has never before been a marriage between Sayjins and other races, and it goes the same for Icejins. But today, we are here to witness such an event. Lord Frieza, an Icejin and our lord, and Katrin, a Sayjin, will be Bonded together as mates. The exchange of blood is irreversible, and it is not to be taken lightly, so I ask you, Lord Frieza, do you wish to Bond with this Sayjin?"
"I do." Frieza said. He sneered at me, trying to intimidate me into saying yes immediately. Boy, was he in for a surprise.
"Katrin, granddaughter of the great Rothgar, do you wish to Bond with Lord Frieza, and therefore become his Queen?"
Moment of truth!
"Never!" I whispered.
The crowd was shocked, and so was Frieza.
"What was that?" Frieza asked sternly.
"I said NEVER!" I turned and ran to face the crowd.
"What are you doing!" Frieza screamed.
"Don't listen to him! He's a liar, and he's only marrying me so he can rule our planet! But we can stop him! All of us can end his reign! Listen to me, everybody! He killed Prince Vegeta!"
3rd P.O.V.- Cell
Cell knew what he just did was illogical. A kiss is a sign of love. But Cell also didn't know any other way to describe his feelings toward Katie. Katie was Mirai's wife, and they had kids, but he felt like something bad was going to happen, and he'd never get the chance to let her know how he felt about her. At least this way she knew.
Cell had freed the prisoners and he, Nappa, and Bulma were leading every able warrior towards the South Gate. He heard Katie scream 'Never', and had the group stop.
"So buddy, what's the signal?" Nappa asked.
"Just wait, I'll know it when I hear it." Cell ordered.
"I hope she knows what's she's doing." Bulma said.
"Don't worry, she does."
1st P.O.V.
The crowd went into an uproar, and Frieza ran to the ledge in a panic.
"She lies! I would never do that!" he called.
"Look! The Sayjin Royal crest!" I took it out and held it high for everyone to see, "I went to the dungeon today and found Prince Vegeta dying in a dark cell. His last order as prince was for me to take this and lead all of my people against Frieza! The Sayjins, the Namekians, and the humans will return to their home planets and live freely!"
3rd P.O.V.- Cell
"Is that what happened?" Nappa asked.
"Yes, it is." Bulma said.
"I hope you guys are ready to party." Cell said to the group.
1st P.O.V.
"You can't rebel! I won't allow it! Stop this!"
"Join me, brothers and sisters! Together, we can stop Frieza! Who's with me!"
I thrusted my hand into the air and ripped off the dress, revealing my armor.
3rd P.O.V.- Cell
"That's it, ATTACK!" Cell called as he lead the charge out the front doors of the castle.
1st P.O.V.
I saw Cell and the prisoners charge out of the castle, and others in the crowd started fighting guards and anyone else supporting Frieza.
"Katrin!" I turned to see Raditz fly up to the balcony.
"Raditz? What are you-"
"I brought you a gift, catch!" I caught the object, and before I could say anymore he took off to fight. I looked to see it was his prototype Scouter. I put it on and adjusted it just right.
"Thanks, Raditz."
"You think you're pretty smart, don't you Katrin?" Frieza asked as he turned from the crowd to me. "You think I never saw a battle heating up? Why else would I send for my brother and father?" Frieza started to move, so I did as well. We were circling one another, talking to distract the other. But Frieza doesn't know that this is how I usually fight, it's my style. We were going in a counter-clockwise circle, and I could hear Freiza's dark heart beating rapidly. He was either excited or scared.
"You didn't know there was an army hidden in your castle, though, did you? Or the fact that the general of this war would be a female Sayjin."
"My female, you mean. I knew you filthy monkeys would betray me one day. Bardock's visions weren't too far off." He shifted toward the left, so I did so too.
"Neither were mine. I've seen you in two other forms, but I missed one at some point. Whoever it was you were fighting at the time must have made you transform out of it quickly."
"So visions run in your family, do they? Then first thing I'll do is wipe them all out, starting with the pregnant human. You'll enjoy watching her die, along with the child."
"You knew she was pregnant?" I stopped, but only for a second.
"I knew before you did." He was starting to distract me, and without thinking I snapped back with a comment I probably shouldn't have.
"I won't let you take another family member." I hissed.
"That's right, I killed your brother too, didn't I? The filthy monkey should have learned his place."
I ignored his remark and countered with my own.
"You mean like I did?" Frieza smirked, but I wasn't done yet, "I see why you're so feared. I'd be scared of a child killer, too."
"Hold your tongue!" he snapped.
"Hold your own! You've taken everything from me! Do you know what it's like to lose everything? Anything? No, you don't. You're a monster."
"And all of us monsters need a hero to destroy us, right? So, where's your Super Sayjin? Where's your leader?"
"Haven't you figured it out yet? I'm the leader. Your other half-truth; I'm not just the strongest female, I'm the strongest Sayjin! I am, aren't I?"
"You're still just a monkey!" Frieza then charged, finally angrier than common sense and for a second I lost him. He moves with the speed of a god, but I'd seen him move like that before, so I was able to dodge.
"How did you- how could you-"
"Sayjins are the perfect fighting machines. I've seen you fight before, a long time ago, but I remembered and I know that you rely on you unmatchable speed. At least, in this form anyway."
"I don't need to transform to take you down. I just need a little back up." He looked to the sky, and I saw King Kold and Kooler powering up a blast to throw at me.
"Damn you all." I hissed as the blast was released. I barely dodged, and then all three began to throw blasts at me. It was all I could do to dodge.
They're too fast. Damn him! I should have been watching for them, but I got carried away taunting Frieza.
Then a blast hit my leg, and though it did injure me, it was numb, and another blast came down at me before I could move. It was a finisher, Kooler's Death Beam, twice as powerful as Frieza's, and it was headed right for me.
