AN: Hey, evil cliffies are the best! But that's the thing about cliffies, they don't last forever…
Chapter 7: Brave New World
Lord Bebi has been in rule of earth for a solid month now. Soon Goku and the others will return, and we'll destroy the last of the Sayjins and begin our new Tuffle race.
Everyone has come to accept Lord Bebi. Mira, Kanji, Andy, Bulma… but Codie Allen… he took off and hasn't been seen since. The poor kid, not knowing that being a Tuffle is so much better than being a Sayjin ever was.
And today I have the honor of going to Lord Bebi's quarters. You'd think such a good and powerful leader would have a castle, but he wants to wait until Planet Plant is resurrected. I'm so lucky, first I had the honor of Lord Bebi actually using my body and fighting through me, and now I get to meet with him in private.
"Katie, you better hurry, you don't want to keep Lord Bebi waiting." Mirai called as I was trying to decide which Gi to wear.
"I can't decide what to wear in the presence of our liberator. Should I wear the old, orange Gi from Namek, or my newer, feminine blue one?" I asked him, holding them up for him to see.
"I prefer the blue one. That's the first Gi I saw you in." Mirai said, taking the orange one from me as I started to dress.
"I'm only sorry the first outfit you saw me in was that disgusting, horrible Sayjin armor." I shivered.
"You made it look good." He replied.
"Thanks, I think." I said, laughing.
I hurried off and went to Lord Bebi's private quarters. Technically it was Vegeta's old study, but not anymore.
I knocked, and Lord Bebi called for me to enter. I went inside and stood by the doorway.
"Katie, so nice of you to come. Please, come in, come in." he ushered me closer, and I knelt before him.
"I came at your request, my lord, wearing a fighting outfit as you asked."
"Yes, I see that. You're a very powerful warrior, Katie." He said, looking me up and down. He gestured for me to stand.
"Thank you, my lord."
"I was a fool trying to defeat Vegeta in Gohan's body. You are a much more powerful, cunning, graceful warrior than he."
"I'm flattered, my lord."
"As you should be. I want to learn more about my best warrior. Tell me some of your Sayjin genealogy." He spat the cursed 'Sayjin' out.
"My grandfather was Rothgar, as you already know, my lord. His son was Kanji. Kanji mated with Andorra, and I was their only child. Andorra's brother was Bardock, who is Goku's father. Vegeta's son from the future, Mirai No Trunks, and I Bonded, and we had three children together. Kanji Vegeta Briefs, Andorra Bulma Briefs, and Codie Allen Briefs."
"The one who got away?"
"Yes, my lord."
"I see. That answers why your hair and eyes are dark brown instead of the usual black. Rothgar had a lighter-than-black coloring of the hair and eyes as well. Now, tell me of your human family. The ones that were destroyed over forty years ago."
"Very well, my lord. My parents were nice, good people, but I always sensed they were scared of me. Even then I was Sayjin, though in a human body for fifteen years. We weren't rich or liked very well."
"Yes, that's how you first obtained part of your Angel powers. Tell me of those."
"It was a grand power. I could have done anything with it, yet I chose to use it to save those pitiful Sayjins. It had eleven forms; fire, water, earth, wind, ice, thunder, metal, wood, light, darkness, and life. I used this power to defeat Roxx, a creature who could destroy dimensions with a mere thought. Later I used them again to defeat a wizard who wanted to steal my power." I explained.
"Yes, Vegeta remembers. An illusion of Planet Vegeta?" Lord Bebi questioned, intrigued.
"Yes. It could have been my life if not for the Council." I spat.
"That is where I'm at a loss. Who is this council?"
"The Tri-dimensional Council is a group of three who watch over this dimension, Otherworld, and HFIL. They chose me to be the Angel, and when I received the power, they decided that it was too great and tried to kill me, because I was too powerful. They screwed up my life too many times, so finally I told them off."
"I see, I see. There is no way then that you could get these powers back?"
"No, my lord. It sits in hibernation until another Angel is needed." I responded. "They would not give it back to me now."
"You are still a great warrior, Katherine." He responded, pacing, trying to think of something.
"My lord, I would prefer you to not call me by that name."
"Katherine is your name, isn't it?" he asked, surprised.
"Yes, but… I did some… horrible things when I was last called by that name." I responded.
"And that's the warrior we need. Katherine the Slaughterer, wasn't it?" I nodded, "A wizard, by the name of… Babi-Dee. He used mind control, promised you would be free of your greatest fear if you served him. Your young mind and gentle soul couldn't resist, and he got to you. You killed for pleasure… for pain… you killed for the fun of it, like a Sayjin. You even killed Vegeta."
"Yes, its true, my lord!" I began to cry, burying my face in my hands.
"Shh, its okay, my dear Katherine, its okay." His tone was sincere, warm. He actually held me while I cried, like a father. The father I never had, the father I had been missing since returning here.
"My lord, I was a fool back then, a Sayjin. My instincts went wild, like the creature I use to be, before you came and changed that." I fixed myself, tall and proud, a Tuffle warrior. And, by the way, as a sign that I was truly a Tuffle and no longer a Sayjin, I had cut off my tail after Bebi's rule began. It would never grow back, only the tails of Sayjin children grow back. But it doesn't matter because I'm a Tuffle now.
"We need a warrior like that. A ruthless killer, one that won't back down when fighting against old friends. I need your help to fight Goku, Trunks, and Pan once they return from space."
"I'll do my best, my lord, but I believe it would be best if you fought them. The honor should be yours."
"I'll decide on these honors, Katherine. Now to the point of this meeting. I would be honored if you, my dear Katherine, would become my chief guard."
"I beg your pardon, my lord?"
"Next to me, you are the strongest creature on this planet, even without your tail." We both looked disgusted, "Gohan let his power slack. If you and Goten hadn't come to help me, Vegeta might have won."
"Oh, how awful." I said.
"Your power right now can reach Super Sayjin Two, correct?"
"Yes, my lord." I replied.
"Equal with Vegeta's before you cut off that disgusting appendage. The most powerful creature on this planet is me, but if we were to fight, I bet you could hold your own." He smirked.
"Why would I fight against you, my lord?" I asked, smiling.
"Because it is the only way I can see your true strength. Come, you and I to the Gravity Room. We'll have a friendly sparring session. If I think you've done well, you'll become my Chief Guard of New Planet Plant."
"Yes, my lord!"
Needless to say, Lord Bebi won. But like he said, I did hold my own for a good while. After thirty minutes of rigorous fighting he hit me with a strong, new Gatlik Gun, Tuffle style.
He sent me off, saying he'd sleep on it, and in the morning I'd have my answer. I went back to my room and meditated. I sensed Goku and the others near with the Black-Star Dragonballs.
Soon, Lord Bebi will be able to rebuild our world. Then we will conquer the galaxy, rebuilding the Tuffle Empire. Death to all Sayjins at last.
