C&U
A strong wind pushed through as the two Nameks stood in silence. Both's attire wiping along with the wind.
"What are you waiting for?" Kayee spoke up finding the silence unbearable.
"Backup." Was Piccolo's answer, the silence creeping in again.
"So..." Kayee said trying to find something to pass the time. Her nerves already failing her. "Are you and Denede the last of the Nameks?" She had thought it was only Piccolo and Kami, and then Dende appeared, she was curious if anymore had made it to Earth.
"No, there's a whole planet full of them, similar to yours, but its called Namek." Piccolo answered with an equally curious face. "You didn't know about it?" He asked, but the shock on her face answered for her.
"No, no, I just thought a few of you made it to Earth! And then the planet was destroyed? How is it back?" Kayee asked, no one had informed her about another Namekian planet still in existence.
"Yeah, it was destroyed but we wished it back with the dragonballs." Piccolo said.
That made sense... But why didn't anyone on her planet know it was wished back?
"Oh." Was all Kayee thought to say. She wished she would have known before coming to Earth, their Namekian planet could be in danger too...
Piccolo watched her silently, seemingly unnoticed. He could tell she was debating with herself. He already knew the three capsules had followed her for some reason but he wanted to know why. He knew it couldn't be good for Kayee, seeing as how tense and edgy she was with them arriving. Something inside him wanted to help this girl he barely knew. But it wasn't just any girl, she was Namekian, he could he not, not help a fellow Namek, why would it be different if it was a girl? He had decided then, he would help her unless it risked harm to Earth or his friends. Maybe she came here for help, she had asked about their strength. Why else would she ask if she wasn't planning on a fight with their new arrivals? Were they too strong for her?
"Look, Piccolo..." Kayee began again, she had been battling with herself the past few minutes, she knew what would happen when they arrived... She wouldn't be on this planet for much longer, she felt she could at least apologize. "I, I'm sorry."
"What? Sorry, why?" Piccolo asked turning towards her.
"I just wanted to apologize for everything." She answered.
"What are you talking about? Nothing has happened, yet." Piccolo was not looking for a vague reply. "Why don't you just tell me what's going on?" He said his eyes making her feel worse. He wanted to know, he wanted to help, unusual for him. But how could he if he had no idea what was going on?
"You'll know soon enough." She stopped, she wasn't going to get anywhere. It would all be explained, whether she wanted it to be or not. She just hoped she could avoid any harm to Earth and Namek but mostly, Piccolo.
"Were not as stupid as you may think. I know whatever story you told Denede was far from true. Just something to keep them from prying, right? So why is it your..." Piccolo started.
"Hey! What's going on?" Gohan yelled from above announcing their arrival as they floated down towards Piccolo.
Piccolo shot her a final glare before turning his attention to Gohan and Krillin. Piccolo nodded. "Good. You're here." He said.. "You grew even more Gohan, your as tall as your dad now. You look just like him." Piccolo commented almost to himself. How long had it been since he'd seen the boy? Not that long?
"Yeah, my dad says I'll probably get taller." Gohan said happy Piccolo had noticed.
"And the chicks dig tall, muscular guys so you'll have the ladies all over you!" Krillin laughed poking his arm. "Just one flex of these bad boys and you wont be able to keep them off ya!"
"I don't know if I want that much attention!" Gohan thought aloud. "So Piccolo, what's goin' on now?" Gohan said glancing at Kayee who looked sheepishly back at him. "She's sure changed." He said quietly to Krillin and Piccolo. "She thought she was hot stuff when we first met her now look at her!" The other two nodded in agreement.
"Yup, she sure looks spooked. Guess whatever's in those capsules is not good, at least not for her." Krillin added.
"Good, so you know about the capsules, and the power level that came in them right?" Piccolo asked, not sure what Denede had told them.
"Yeah, but where's everyone else?" Krillin asked only seeing the four of them.
"I was going to ask you." Piccolo said counting. "I hope this isn't it."
"Well I thought Vegeta was coming, knowing him he'll be fashionably late and obviously my dad's not coming." Gohan answered a bit glum that his dad would, again be a no show.
"Still with King Ki huh?" Krillin thought aloud. They all seemed to forget he was still up there.
"Yeah, I wonder how much longer he'll be there, we'll probably need his help." Gohan commented. "I thought he'd learned everything from King Ki already, guess not."
"That's what I thought but I think your dad wanted to train under the intense gravity up there." Piccolo turned to Gohan placing a hand on his shoulder. "We can handle it without your dad, don't worry."
Gohan nodded hopefully and the three went silent, Piccolo's eyes had moved back to Kayee who had suddenly gone rigid. His eyes followed her's and fell upon three large shapes headed towards them.
"Alright guys there coming." Piccolo announced, facing the oncoming threat as they neared.
"About to start this party without me huh?" An arrogant voice floated over them.
"Hey Vegeta!" Gohan said happily coming towards him.
"Yeah, glad you could make it." Piccolo growled lowly his eyes still on the three lumbering shapes. Whatever, or whoever was coming were terribly large but familiar looking.
"Dende made it sound really important so I thought I'd stop in to see how badly you needed me." Vegeta, praising himself, turned his attention to what had caught Piccolo and Kayee's eye.
"Well, thanks for being sooo considerate." Piccolo snarled this time, challenging Vegeta's arrogance.
"So," Vegeta said strolling past Piccolo towards Kayee. "This is the little Namek that's been causing all the problems." Vegeta eyed her closely, suspicion rot on his face.
"Leave her alone Vegeta." Piccolo droned without looking back at him. "She wont talk, you wont be able to get anything out of her.
"Oh! A little shy are we? Need the big bad green bean to protect us huh?" Vegeta pressed on. Kayee's face reddening, whether from angry or embarrassment Vegeta couldn't tell.
"Back off!" Kayee said catching everyone's attention. She glared at Vegeta, until she realized how close the aliens really were.
"Vegeta." Piccolo warned again but this time not for the Namek's sake.
"What?" He asked turning towards Piccolo, as the three 'shapes' finally landed in front of them. Both sides seeming to size each other up but it seemed too clear as to who had the advantage.
The three aliens were abnormally large, almost Saiyan looking men. They wore fairly similar clothes to that of Freza and his henchmen, yet they were unique. The orange tint their skin seemed to have dismissed all thoughts of them being Saiyans. But their hair was just as long as Raditz's. They had an early caveman look to them; large, strong and stupid. Measuring to be as tall or taller than Napa which was not so reassuring for the Z fighters.
"Ah, you must be the Earthmen we've heard about." The smallest started, breaking the unnerving silence. "A ragged bunch eh Que?" He spat looking over to the medium sized alien.
"Why yes," Vegeta retaliated before anyone could stop him. "And you must be the large, brainless brutes come to mess with us, right?"
The smallest one seemed to hiss only to be stopped by Que.
"Calm yourself Yagse." ( pronounced ya-og-c) He said sounding a bit more friendly. "Don't get too defensive, we are on their planet you know." He said removing his hand from Yagse's shoulder.
"Yeah, about that..." Krillin said speaking up, confused as ever. "Why are you here?" The three men turned their attention back to the small band of fighters.
"Well my small, bald man we were sent here to retrieve that." Que said pointing to Kayee.
It took a minute to realize who they were talking about. His finger clearly pointed at Kayee yet he had said 'that'. This only seemed to infuriate Piccolo.
"That?" Piccolo repeated. Kayee realizing what was coming moved behind him. "Do you mean her?" Piccolo was not going to let them talk to a fellow Namek like that whether she was the cause of this or not.
"No, I meant what I said, that is a piece of property that's a long way from home. Aren't you?" The largest of the three finally said. Obviously the cruelest. He leaned close to Kayee making her cower even more behind Piccolo. "Come we have much to discuss." He said beckoning to her.
"Just grab her and lets be on our way, come on Shaw." Yagse said growing impatient. Shaw nodded and walked over yanking Kayee swiftly from behind Piccolo before anyone could respond.
"Let me go!" Kayee screamed in protest. Shaw's grip only tightened. He easily dragged her over towards the other two. Kayee managed to get one arm free, and with palm exposed aimed at Shaw as she screamed...
"HAAA!" She yelled as a bright light burst for her hand and exploded in Shaw's face. His grip loosened and Kayee took the chance and squirmed free.
Piccolo watched her, so she was strong and quick, but apparently not strong enough. As Shaw straightened after a few seconds.
"Little Bitch." He grumbled as he smoothed his hair back. "I hate Nameks!" He shoot Kayee a deadly glare. "You'll pay for that." His voice dripping with venom.
"Look, all we want is the girl." Que said with a sigh, ignoring Shaw. "Just hand her over and we can all move on." Motioning to Yagse who walked back towards Kayee, who distinctively slid into a fighting stance.
"You wont take me easily." She said preparing to attack. "Not like last time!" She screamed awaiting Yagse's first move.
"So you would like to go down this way? You got it!" Yagse flew towards Kayee who easily dogged his fist as he came around again.
"You've gotten slower Yagse." Kayee commented as she grabbed a foot aimed for her gut. She gripped his ankle and flung him back towards Que and Shaw. Yagse caught of guard was sent flying into them.
"Get off Yagse!" Que said unmoved as he peeled Yagse off. Yagse stood up warily. He was the smallest of the three and hadn't been prepared for the attack.
"She's gotten a bit better since we last saw her, huh boys?" Yagse thought aloud.
"Either that or you've gotten weaker!" Que laughed.
"I'll show how its really done, Yagse." Shaw came foward again, headed for Kayee. Only to be blocked by Piccolo. "Get out of the way you Namek trash!"
"No, I'm not sure why you need her but she's not going anywhere." Piccolo said eyeing Shaw carefully. Kayee watching from behind him, couldn't help but smile.
I may not have to leave, maybe they'll truly help me!
"If that's the way you want it!" Shaw yelled as rammed his head into Piccolo's. He, again, moved with such speed no one had caught what had happened until they saw Piccolo sailing through the air. And with the group temporarily stunned he grabbed Kayee, his speed to quick for any of the Z fighters to follow.
"Piccolo!" Gohan yelled as he watched his old Sense. He and Krillin rushed over to where he had landed.
"Ugh, let me go!" Kayee struggled with no avail against the strong grasp of the orange alien. She wouldn't get free this time. Her hopes of help shattered, they were to quick for Piccolo and most likely the others. She watched as Piccolo crashed into a large boulder
"Well problem solved. Que said casually. "Very good Shaw."
Shaw nodded as he effortlessly held Kayee. The three turned to leave.
"Hold on!" Vegeta said rising from a rock he had been resting on the whole time. "I came here with promise of a fight and I intend to get one in before you leave." He said smiling. "Unless, your too scared?" He laughed loudly, sounding assured of a victory. "Come on!"
"Why don't you redeem yourself Yagse?" Que snickered.
"My pleasure." Yagse growled eager to prove his worth after Kayee's attack .
"I asked for a fight." Vegeta said sizing up the smaller Yagse.
"And a fight you'll get!" Yagse said rushing towards Vegeta.
Gohan had finally uncovered Piccolo only to find him furious. "Piccolo! Hey are you ok?" He asked concerned, Piccolo had never had his guard down before, why now with these extra large aliens ready to attack? Piccolo slowly stood from the rubble. Nodding to Gohan's concern. They both shoot back as Vegeta dogged another attack from Yagse and rewarded his lame effort with a knee to his stomach.
"Maybe you should get some practice in and then we can continue?" Vegeta taunted enjoying the alien's short temper.
"Why you!" Yagse said as he once again charged Vegeta with an out drawn fist. Only to meet with Vegeta's boot. Everyone, seemingly amused, watched as he flew into the air. Vegeta quickly speed up to greet him with a large energy blast.
"HAAA!" Vegeta yelled as he shot it at towards Yagse.
"What are you doing!" Was all Yagse could scream before being engulfed by the blast. A blinding light accompanied the boom and soon the sky returned to normal, showing no signs of Yagse. The Z fighters silent with awe at how quickly Vegeta had finished him off. He may have been the smallest of the three but they were all still abnormally large.
"Ha, I told you I wanted a fair fight!" Vegeta scowled, angry at how easy it had been. He was tired of all the explaining he had come for action and wasn't getting any.
"Well there's an open pod for Rayne now." Que said jokingly to Shaw.
"I thought he was annoying anyway. Thanks for the favor." Shaw said. "We'll be going now."
"No! Stop please! Just let me stay here, please!" Kayee's protest grew more and more desperate. "Can't I do something else? Don't I have any options?"
"Shut the hell up! You know very well your crimes and will be punished accordingly." Shaw said a bit too happily.
They enjoy our pain so much...
"Leave me here and you'll never hear from me again! I can promise you that. It wont affect you! You can go back to Namekia and I'll just stay here!"
"You wish." Was Shaw's only remark.
The Z fighters, not knowing what to do, looked on as they carried her away.
"Kayee!" Piccolo yelled after her getting her attention. He quickly moved his two fingers to his temple.
'Kayee! Its Piccolo can you here me?' Piccolo watch her for a reaction. She looked over towards him and nodded. She had never learned how to use her telepathic powers, if she had them.
'You have to use that blast again, do something! Can you get a arm free?' Piccolo watched her tug her arm and squirm but got no where. She shook her head in defeat accepting what was to come. She had lost, she knew she would get caught at some point but not this soon and not after finding Earth. She would miss it terribly... for the few weeks she was there.
Piccolo was desperate for ideas, he was usually the one to come up with a plan or solution or something! He needed to act fast before they left with her. He had said he would help her, he had told himself he would...
"Kayee! Try again!" He yelled out loud, hoping it would work. Kayee looked up but was only held tighter when Shaw and Que spun back around.
"What was that green man?" Shaw questioned tightening his grip even more. Kayee could feel her insides cramping and he breathes came out shorter. "Who were you talking to?"
"He was talking to Kayee! What did you think?" Krillin said annoyed, were they dumb or just toying with them.
"Kayee?" Que repeated looking a bit confused. "You mean the girl?"
"Look we understand you think of her as property but she does have a name!" Gohan yelled back, unsure of what they were truly questioning.
"Why yes, she does." Que started looking down at Gohan. "But its not 'Kayee'."
"She did it again huh?" Shaw said to Que laughing slightly. "You really are a bitch." He looked down at Kayee, whose face had become very pale, even for someone with green skin.
"What are you talking about?" Krillin asked. It was too much at one time, a female Namek arriving along with strange aliens looking to take Kayee back and now claiming that's not her real name. What did Krillin really know?
"Ha!" Que laughed to himself. "These clowns are trying to save someone they don't even know!"
"Fools! She's been lying to you, most of the things she's probably told you are lies! And your trying to protect her from us? Do you even know why she's truly here?" Shaw watched them knowing that they truly had no idea, as all the ones before them had.
"She's not surveying the planet and she's not curious about Earth and its inhabitants." Que continued enjoying the astonishment on their faces, well everyone's except Vegeta who had again grown bored.
"How did you know all of that? How did you know she said that?" Gohan asked stunned, it was almost exactly what she had told them on the Lookout.
"Because she's pulled this on three other planets. She's said the same thing to each one and each one has been destroyed because of her." Que sighed tired of explaining again. "She's been using the planets at her disposal and this one's not different."
Piccolo refuse to believe it, for the short time he had tried to get to know Kayee she had seemed fairly normal not a killer.
"That's not why she's here. That's not true is it Kayee?" Piccolo asked her, ignoring the on going argument. Kayee stopped struggling as she heard his question and a guilty look came over her face, question answered.
"Go ahead." Shaw giving her a threatening squeeze, smiling as she winced in pain. "Tell 'em the truth."
"I, I cant." Kayee could barely get out as her eyes gave way to a rush of tears. "I, I didn't mean to, I didn't want those planets to be destroyed! It wasn't fair, I didn't know. I never wanted it to be this way! I wasn't the one who destroyed them!" She tried to plea through her tears looking at the group of fighters. "I'm sorry." She whispered as her gaze fell onto Piccolo's.
"Then what's her real name?" Krillin asked sounding defeated. He had wanted to help this girl out but from what Que and Shaw had said, he wasn't sure who needed help. He hoped it wouldn't be them.
"Its not Kayee its Rayne." Que said matter-of- fact-ly.
The now 'Rayne' couldn't have stopped the tears if she had wanted to. Hearing her real name again brought back all the painful memories of death, threats, running and hiding.
She had never wanted any of this! Each time she deceived someone she felt horrible. But she had, had no choice! It was life or death, was her life worth the risk of thousands? No, she knew that but she couldn't convince herself to face her own death, at least not until today. Kayee had finally realized she wanted Earth to be her home. She could be with her race and live happily away from the fighting. It had been the first planet, outside of Namekia, that she felt comfortable in. How could she have betrayed it? How could she have put it in harms way? It would end up like all the others, a field of meteors, nothing more. How could she betray her own race? The disappointment, anger and hurt in Piccolo's eyes had made it clear. She would save this planet, no matter the cost. It was the least she could do.
That was a long one... wipes brow phew,Iwill try and keep them shorter.
So what did you think? Thumbs up.. thumbs down? teeellll meeee! As always I'll execpt any help you can give me, criticism, suggestions, praise, boos... so go now and reivew, thanks!
