Chapter 7: Terrence, son of Nappa (10 years later)
Carisca watched her young boy as he ran through the blue grass. He was ten years old, and already showing the true abilities of a great warrior. Carisca and Terrence had been living on Planet Vulcar for the past ten years. Carisca had disposed of the strong inhabitants soon after the birth of Terrance. Her power had increased dramatically after the birthing process. The aliens never knew what hit them. Carisca wished she could leave the dreaded planet, but there was no way she could. The space pod she had come on had been destroyed. The aliens had no space ships for some odd reason. She had tried frantically to fix her scouter, but it had been no use.
She was forced to make the planet her new home. She had high hopes that someday they'd get off the planet, eventually Frieza would have to send someone. "Terrance!" She yelled. The boy turned around. "Come inside and eat." Terrance quickly made his way back into the house. He moved fairly quickly for as bulky as he was. Carisca was sure he'd grow up to look a lot like his father. Terrance gobbled down his food, like all Saiyan's he had a big appetite. When he was done he pushed back his plate and went back outside. Carisca watched him go and smiled. Nappa would have been thrilled to have such a strong son.
Terrance found one of the natives and decided to terrorize him. He knew mother didn't care. He formed a ki blast and blasted it at the alien. The alien screamed as it was thrown to the ground. Terrance went over to kick the alien who was now lying still not moving. He frowned, none of the inhabitants there were any fun to play with. He sat back down on the ground and sighed. He wished mother would hurry and find a way to get them off the dreaded planet. Terrance was really anxious to meet his father. His mother always told him so many wonderful stories about the man. Terrance was proud to be the son of a great Saiyan. He took out the folded picture he had in his pocket. It was a picture of his mother and father. His mother always laughed when she told him the story about how she had dragged his father to get their picture taken. Terrance smiled and put the picture back in his pocket. "Someday father I will meet you in person." He said to himself. It was getting dark outside. Terrence decided to head in for the night.
The sound of blasts woke Carisca from her sleep. She sprang out of bed, ready for combat. Terrence had awakened and was rubbing his eyes. "What is it?" He asked. Carisca shushed him and peered out the window. Another loud blast shook the house. What was going on? Suddenly the door was blasted off its hinges. Carisca's eyes widened at the site of one of a man standing there. "What do you want!" She hollered at him. The man squinted at her. "You're the one with the strongest power level here, I want to fight."
"Are you one of Frieza's men?" Carisca asked.
The man nodded. "Ya, so what?"
"I used to work for Lord Frieza, you must take me and my son back with you!" Carisca said, hope in her heart.
"Sorry lady, but orders are orders." He said. "Lord Frieza doesn't want anyone on this planet left alive."
"Then if it's a fight you want, I won't disappoint you." Carisca said. She lunged at him, but he was quick and spun around. He slammed a fist into her back. Carisca grunted as she hit the ground. He swung his foot and knocked her across the face, she went flying across the room. Carisca fired off her special attack, but the man dodged it. With a yell of furry he fired off twin blasts of energy.
Terrance yelled, a power grew inside of him that he never knew he had. "Leave my mom alone!" He screamed. The man looked at the boy surprised. "What?" He began as the figures on his scouter rose. "Impossible!" Terrence screamed kicked the man across the middle. The man doubled over and Terrance flew up and elbowed his back. A crushing sound was heard as the man's spine snapped. The intruder lay there paralyzed. Terrence ran to his mother, who was lying on the ground, not moving. "Mother?" He asked. Terrance reached over and touched his mother's bloody face. "Terrence, I feel that I'm about ready to pass over." Carisca said.
"No mother you can't!" Terrence said.
"I'm sorry my son." Carisca said. "Find you father…" She closed her eyes.
"Mother no!" Terrence yelled.
"Go Terrence, find a spaceship, and leave this place." She whispered. "Don't worry about me, go now!" Terrance did as his mother asked. He took one last look at her before he left. "Rest now mother." He said. "I will always remember you." With that Terrence flew out of the door.
Nappa walked toward Carisca. "Carisca?" He asked. Carisca opened her eyes. "Nappa." She said. "I've been looking all over for you."
"Hush now." He said gathering her up in his arms. "everything's going to be all right."
"I'm dying Nappa." Carisca said. "I'm sorry." Nappa wiped the blood off her face. He kissed her. "Please Carisca, don't leave me." He said.
"It's too late." Carisca said. "But it's not too late for our son. He will grow up to be a great warrior someday, I just know it." She gave Nappa a weak smile. "Hold me Nappa, one last time."
Nappa held her against his powerful chest. "One last time Carisca." He said. "One last time."
Nappa woke up with a start. He wondered what was up with his strange dreams. He wiped the sweat of his baldhead. Nappa wished he still had hair. The dream he had just had was bothering him, it had seemed so real. Carisca had felt so real as he held her against him. Nappa kicked off the covers on his bed. It had been 10 years since he had last seen her, and yet still he dreamed of her. "Carisca." He whispered. "Why do you haunt me so."
