Queen Luana: Sheesh, it has been a while, hasn't it? But I'll continue right now! And I've just come to realise Things DBZ Characters would never say has been removed! T-T But well, sometimes we just have to move on. Enjoy this new chapter.

A grave loss

A soft knock startled me. I had been crying for hours, which was weird since I had never cried that badly before in my entire life! Saiyans shouldn't cry and now… Although I hated to admit it, things were getting too much for me. "Yes?" I said after I had whiped the tears of my face. The door opened and Kaie walked in.

"Princess Luana," he said and kneeled. "We are in need of your assistance. Haat's men have found the entrance of our cave. They're attacking!"

I jumped to my feet. "Then what are we waiting for!"

We ran through the hallways. "When did they attack?"

"About fifteen minutes ago," Kaie said.

"Fifteen minutes?" I cried and looked at him. "Why didn't you come get me earlier?"

"Because of your mother, she said you needed rest."

"I can't rest when my people are in danger," I told him and we ran outside. There I immediately had to duck away for a beam coming in at high speed. It was a true battlefield outside. Everyone was hurrying around, shooting ki-blasts and fighting Haat's men. I couldn't believe my mother had told him not to tell me. It's not because I was pregnant I couldn't fight anymore!

Soon I had already slayed a couple of them. I had spotted my mother and father fighting in the distance and soon realised my mother knew I was there, since she often casted me disapproving and worried looks.

But then I started getting tired and came to realise my mother knew more about pregnancies than I did. The fact you grow weak very fast, by example. My breathing increased and I had trouble focussing on my surroundings. I was still able to dodge the attacks with all ease but still I was weary and tired… But seeing how some of the Zazbanians got killed pumped new adrenaline through my veins and I found the strength to fight again. One by one they went down and soon I was standing in the middle of a masacre. Normally I would've enjoyed this, enjoyed how they were dying but right now, because of the exhaution I only wished for it to end soon.

Suddenly a new fighter faced me, but he was different. He wouldn't go down so easy… When he had blocked yet another attack he chuckled and said: "So you are the great Saiyan princess? The one who killed Haat? I really expected more of you." Angry at myself for starting to grow soft I warmed up my Galac Gun and fired. But he dodged it easily and instead I had another guy, luckily not a Zazbanian.

"Really, I am very disappointed," he told me again, looking me with big yellow eyes, surrounded by a scrawny face. I sniffed.

"You're different from all the others. Why are you resisting?"

"Because I would take Haat's place in case anything happened to him," he said with a chuckle. "You saved me a big deal, Saiyan. I was already planning on destroying him myself."

"So you've outgrown your master? Good for you," I said disdainful. "But since I was the one who killed them, why are you so sure you can take me on?"

"Because Saiyans are scum," he said. "That's why Lord Frieza killed them years ago. I still am puzzled why they are still alive."

"Guess that kinda proves they aren't scum," I said with a smile. "Let's see how good you are in arising from the dead." We shot into the air, fighting and blocking each other's attacks. I once again saw my mother looking at me, before killing another fighter. I can do this mother! I knew he couldn't win, I was way too strong for him. Then why was mother so worried? After fighting for a couple of minutes we paused again, to catch our breath.

"See? You are so full of yourself, and now look at you panting," he said with a satisfied smirk on his face.

"You're not too relaxed as well," I snapped. He clenched his teeth and disappeared in a flash.

I blocked an attack behind my back and soon we were fighting again… But I would realise why my mother was so worried.

I could do nothing about it. One moment I was fighting him, when I suddenly detected a ki-blast coming towards me I raised my hands to block it and I did, with all ease. But when I turned to face my opponent, he was too fast or I was too slow. Before I could react he thumped his knee into my stomach.

All air flew out of my lungs and I sank down onto the ground, coughing and gasping for breath. He smiled satisfied and I experienced a strange sensation, becoming very nauseous and then weak… When I looked down I saw, shock spreading through my body, my legs were covered in blood. I laid my hand on my stomach.

The baby…

The blue fighter smiled with satisfaction. "Now, I will end you," he said and raised his hand. "Say goodbye." I don't know if I had the power to stop him, but I didn't want to find out. Because I didn't care anymore. My baby… The fighter gasped in pain and I looked up to see a familiar face.

"Why don't you take somebody your own size," Vegeta grumbled and broke the fighter's wrist in his fist.

"V-Vege-?" He shushed me and headed into the fight, right after breaking the fighter's neck as well. I only sat there, while around me many were getting killed. It took a couple of minutes, which seemed like hours to me, when my mother finally spotted me.

"Luana!" She kneeled down next to me and saw the blood. She took me at my arms and pulled me up. "This isn't your fight anymore, Luana." She took me into my arms and carried me away from the battle. I was overwhelmed by a numb feeling. What was going to happen to my baby?

Inside the palace, the doctors took care of me, three Zazbanians. My mother stayed at my side, caressed my hand while they examined me. A tear rolled down my face. "Mum? What's going on?" She hushed me and placed her hand over my eyes.

"Rest." I obeyed, knowing I should've done that in the first place. To rest and to listen to my mother. After about fifteen minutes they had finished their examination and took my mother away.

"And? Will she be alright?" she asked them.

"I don't think it's appropriate to say this in front of her."

"It's her were talking about, tell me here so she can hear!" my mother commanded and they shared a sigh.

"You're daughter will be fine, she was not in any danger in the first place." He hesitated for a brief moment, and peeked at me.

"But the baby is lost."

Queen Luana: Okay, that one was a very lousy chapter. The next one will be better, thrust me. Read and review guys! Thanx.
