Chapter 11: From Tuffle to Sayjin
My head was screaming when I woke up. Immediately I puked, and, though it was very gross, I saw something small and gray. It was one of Bebi's eggs. As I stood on my shaky legs I squashed the damn egg under my foot. Somehow the crunching sound it made was comforting.
I remembered the past few months like a movie as I sat up. I had thought so many bad things, not only about my people and my friends, but myself as well. I'm a Sayjin, and normally I'm proud to be one. But I realized I had done many bad things as well, and I was going to make up for it now.
Bebi had jacked up my mind. First the Council, then Babi-Dee, then Roxx, then Drazark, and now Bebi. I was tired of it. I squeezed my hands tight remembering the before-mentioned people, and my palms started to bleed from the act.
I got up and looked around. Gohan, Goten, and Trunks were all near and alive, but unconscious. I was afraid they were still infected, so I left them there. They'd be safer here from this battle anyway.
I took to the sky to look around. On the ground, in the city, I saw Bebi, ragged and panting. Whoever was fighting him looked familiar.
It was Uub, but different. His Ki was bigger somehow, more Majin.
He must have fused with Buu somehow. Where's Goku? He didn't die on us for real, did he?
How long have I been out, exactly?
I watched for a moment as they fought, and I saw Uub use a blast that looked like Buu's food ray. Bebi blew it back at Uub after a long power struggle, and I heard Uub scream.
"No, Uub! Dodge it!" I cried, but too little too late. Uub became a living chocolate bar and fell to the ground. Bebi started to walk toward him.
I teleported straight to Uub's Ki signature. I stood between him and Bebi. If Bebi ate him, we'd not only lose Uub, but Bebi would get a power boost.
"Ah, my dear Katherine. Come to help your master fight?"
"My name is Katie, and I answer to no master." I growled.
"Oh, I see. You managed to break free from my hold over you, did you? What a shame, I'll have to kill you like I did Goku."
"That won't happen." I growled, I practically roared at Bebi as I charged. I powered up SSJ2 as I flew at him, and we fought.
"Why do you resist me, Katherine? Why do you fight for a murderous race?" he dared to ask me.
"You held me prisoner in my own body, you bastard! The Sayjins paid for their crimes, Bebi. My parents, my uncle, and a baby brother who was never born, all erased from existence because of Frieza. Only Goku, myself, Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz remained, and now only I remain. But I swear, once you're rotting in a ditch somewhere, I'll restore Goku and Vegeta." I snapped as we fought, moving up in the air.
"Touching, really. How like a Sayjin."
"Thanks for the compliment, Bebi!" I shouted as I fired an attack, "Gatlik Wave!"
He dodged and elbowed me hard in the back, sending me to the ground and out of SSJ2 form. I lay on the ground, paralyzed in pain, unable to breathe for a moment. It felt like all my ribs on my side, where I hit the ground, had snapped in two.
Bebi landed and walked over to the Uub candy bar. He ate it in one bite.
"No! You filthy, slimy-" he left an afterimage as he came to my side and lifted me up by my neck, squeezing tight. Now I couldn't breathe at all.
"You dare call me names, you filthy monkey! Once you're dead, all full-blooded Sayjins will be gone, and the Tuffles will rule this galaxy, spreading like a plague."
"That's all you are, Bebi, a disease. But one day… the cure will be administered. If not by me, then by someone else." I was choking, slowly. Bebi was enjoying this kill.
"Poetic, Katherine, really." He squeezed tighter, and my vision started to go out. His fingers twitched as they held my jugular tight.
"Vegeta, please, if you're in there, help me! It's me, Katrin! Your student, your biggest fan! You're my hero Vegeta, and if you kill me, you'll be proving that Goku is better than you. Please, prove that wrong!" I was crying, more for Vegeta than my own life. He was trapped in his own body, like I had been, "If I can… break free… then you can too! You're stronger than this, I know it! I've… I've seen… it…" I was close to the black out point. It wouldn't be long until Bebi would finish me, and then he would win.
Bebi threw me to the ground, and started wrestling with himself. I coughed up blood as I held my throat, unable to move yet, watching Vegeta try to get control.
"This is my body now, and I'll kill her if I wish it so!" Bebi screamed. Vegeta's hair and eyes flashed back from Bebi's to his own, but then they went right back to Bebi's white hair and blue eyes. He stood calm as he got control over himself once more.
"Vegeta…?"
"You mean quite a lot to Vegeta. But no one can help you now, not even your hero."
"Vegeta, I don't know if you can hear me, but thanks for trying. It isn't your fault that I die now, it's the thing taking over your body that kills me."
Bebi laughed at me as I stood up. My side was throbbing, and my head was spinning, but I stared down Bebi. Technically, I stared down three of him as my vision started to spin, but I would die honorably now, if it was to be so.
Bebi powered up a blast to fire at me, but someone shot him first, hitting his hand and making him drop the blast. I looked over, and was shocked to see who was there to fight.
"You won't die now, not if I have anything to say about it."
It was Cell.
