A Woman Fighter
Chapter One: Surviving
"Danger, danger!" The computer voice was shrill and loud. Zelina tried to breath but couldn't. Blood ran down her nose into her mouth. Her eyes were rolling up in the back of her head. She had barely been able to climb into her space pod. The life support in her pod wasn't working. Zelina didn't know if she'd make it back to the training facility in time, she would die. She needed to make it there in time to be put on life support. "Life support system failing." The computer voice announced.
Zelina embraced the darkness, and like a cloak it surrounded her.
What seemed a lifetime later Zelina opened her eyes. She was in water, hooked up to a breathing machine. It took a moment for her eyes to clear. Someone was standing there talking to a person at the controls. She tried to struggle, move just a bit. Finally a beeping was heard, and the water slowly began to drain from the tube. Zelina ripped off her breathing mechanism, the door opened. She practically fell out. Zelina caught herself just in time so she did not fall to her knees. She was dripping wet and naked. "We almost lost you there for a second Zelina." The doctor said. He handed her some clothes. She snatched them out of his hands; the man that had been talking to the doctor was staring at her. "Stop staring at me Nappa!" She snapped. The bald man gave a chuckle. "Who said I was staring?" He said grinning. Zelina mumbled to herself and stalked away behind a large computer.
When she was done changing she came back around. Nappa had continued his earlier conversation with the doctor. As Zelina looked around she realized why he was there. Vegeta was on another life support system. He looked pretty beat up. "I believe he will recover just fine." The doctor was telling Nappa. Zelina rolled her eyes. The two Saiyans were practically inseparable. "And here I thought you were here for me." She said sarcastically. Nappa looked at her dumbfounded. Apparently he thought she was being serious. "Why the hell would I care about you?" He said. "You might be beautiful and all that, but your no Saiyan woman." Zelina couldn't help but laugh. Saiyan's were so stupid. There were no Saiyan women left, and if they'd all die out if they didn't accept the fact.
She turned to leave but the doctor stopped her. "Let me run a quick test, just to make sure your okay." He said. He took a monitor and pricked her finger with it. He looked at the readings, and seemed satisfied. "You can go now, but stay away from fighting for at least a week." The doctor instructed. " You need some more time to heal on your own." Zelina nodded and went to open the door. Just as the door slid open there was a beeping sound. She turned to look and saw That Prince Vegeta had awaken. Why she stood there watching she wasn't sure. The water drained and the doors opened. Vegeta grabbed a hold of the edge and stepped out. Zelina knew she should leave, but for some reason she stood there, the door still open. Nappa handed the Prince his clothes. "That was a close call Vegeta." Nappa said. "Your power level is increasing dramatically, pretty soon you'll be unstoppable." Vegeta didn't say anything as he grabbed his clothing from Nappa. He saw Zelina standing there. "What the hell are you looking at?" He growled. Zelina's cheeks grew bright red and she turned her head. "Forgive me Prince." She said and stepped out the door.
Vegeta grumbled to himself as he dressed. What was that woman thinking, staring at him like that? Didn't she know who he was? "Come on Nappa." Vegeta said. The two Saiyans left the room, the doctor was trying to yell at Vegeta to lay off the fighting for a couple weeks but Vegeta ignored him. He stalked through the halls, Nappa following. "Someday we won't take orders from that idiot!" He spat. Vegeta said that almost everyday, and someday it would come to pass. Nappa didn't say anything; he knew it was best to let Vegeta fume. Vegeta passed the woman again. Zarbon was yelling at the her. "What were you thinking? Abandoning the planet when you hadn't even finished killing of the inhabitants!"
"I thought I had taken care of them, besides I was on the brink of death." The woman retorted. "That is no excuse, you should have died there rather then showing your face back at the training facility!" Zarbon's usually blue face was tinted red. "Your lucky Frieza is just going to punish you and not have you killed!" Vegeta quietly laughed to himself. It served the woman right. Zarbon spotted Vegeta and turned on him next. "There you are!" Zarbon yelled. "You worthless Saiyan! You destroyed too much of the planet Aronan and now Frieza can't make a good profit from it!" Vegeta could tell Zarbon was furious. Frieza's little puppet was obliviously not having a good day.
" I couldn't help it that they decided to blow half their planet up to try to kill me." Vegeta spat. "As long as there still is profit to be made there that is all that should matter." Vegeta and Zarbon glared at each other. Vegeta could not challenge Zarbon to a fight; the man would destroy him. But someday he would be more powerful then Zarbon, yes much more powerful. Then he wouldn't be taking orders from that low life scum anymore.
