DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything from DBZ, but I own Matronene. Everything else belongs to the creator of DBZ, Akira Toriyama. (I think that's his name.)
Matronene took a deep breath and followed after Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz. She was so excited, she could hardly contain herself.
"I don't believe I'm actually getting to do this!" she murmered.
"Relax!" Vegeta said, exasperated.
"Come on, Vegeta," said Nappa. "Remember your first mission? You were a freaking bundle of energy!"
Vegeta sighed. "I guess."
They continued walking until they split up. Vegeta directed them all to the areas of the planet to which they had been assigned. Raditz lead her quietly to her section, and quickly found a colony. He walked in and Matronene watched the people's faces eagerly. She was shocked, suddenly- there was a fear in their eyes that had not been matched for quite a while.
A young woman began crying uncontrollably and a little boy by her side had grabbed her leg and asked what was wrong. A few men looked sadly at the ground and retreated inside their houses. Matronene looked at Raditz, and said, "Why do they look so sad?"
"We're famous for going around, destroying planets mercilessly. They know they're all going to die today. They are a fairly weak race."
He suddenly raised his voice. "Now I want all of you here to come out and face me!"
The people outside of their homes looked up at him with tear-stained faces, and other came out of their houses.
"You all know why we're here. As you can see, we have a new one. And she's already just as angry and deadly as the rest of us. If you had any hope before...you don't anymore." He looked around, obviously realizing there was not a fight to be fought here. "I want all of you to tell me that you swear your loyalty to Frieza's throne. Just do it."
"We're going to die anyway, what's the point of losing our dignity at the same time?" muttered one person monotonously.
"If you don't, we won't kill you right away. We're just torture you for a while."
Another woman turned away.
"Now say it!" Raditz screamed at them.
"We- we swear our allegiance to Frieza."
"Get down on your knees and say it, you pathetic fools!" Matronene called out to them. Raditz glanced at her, obviously impressed.
And, to her surprise, the entire village did it. They knelt down and said it again.
"Good, good," muttered Raditz. "All right, weaklings. Say goodbye." He powered up and blasted half the village with one blast. Matronene took up the other half.
Looking around, she saw dead bodies everywhere. Anywhere she looked, they were dead. Lying there. Some had their eyes open still, and they were bloodshot, and bleeding from any openings. These images burned themselves into Matronene's mind. It was awful. She put her hand over her mouth and gasped, struggling to keep them from turning into sobs.
"Oh...oh my god..."
Raditz looked at her. He could understand- she had been raised by a peaceful race. She didn't think this was right. Which it wasn't.
"It's all right," he muttered. "Now let's go. We have a lot more damage to do."
She took a deep steadying breath. "Okay."
They walked off, and did the same thing to every village- emberass them, make them swear their allegiance, and kill them. At one village, a young man had stepped out and said, "No!"
Raditz, almost on reflex, had shot a beam at him and it surrounded him, electric shocks running throught it occasionally, making the man scream in agony and fear. The torture hadn't ended until he was crying and begging for mercy, then was killed with the rest. But no one else had disobeyed.
Finally, after about fours, they met up with Nappa in the south. The decided to go find Vegeta, and see how he was holding up with getting the ruler to swear his allegiance. Matronene had gone into a near catatonic state, with all those she had killed, and the one who had been tortured. She followed Nappa and Raditz though, and had to fly fast.
After about half an hour, they had reached the north side of the planet. Dead bodies lay in a trail, and there were a great many holes in the ground. There was a large building with light shining through the windows, and the three assumed the leader was putting up a fight.
They climbed the three flights of stairs, and heard Vegeta's words- "This isn't going to end you know." And a loud scream of pain. "I'm not leaving until you say it. Six simple words. I- Swear- My- Allegiance- to- Frieza."
Nappa pushed open the door and said, "Are you having trouble, Vegeta?"
Vegeta smirked. "The leader has decided to be brave and go down fighting. Which is fine. He'll give in."
Raditz and Nappa used the same move as Vegeta to strengthen the attack, and the leader screamed still louder.
"Come on, girl," Vegeta snarled. "Help us."
Matronene stepped forward and blasted the ruler. The man started to cry and scream more.
"You know they're all dead. Your entire race. There's no point for you anymore," taunted Vegeta. "So give it up."
"N-never!" gasped the leader.
The four saiyans only strengthened their powers more.
"Go on," encouraged Raditz.
"You know you want to," added Nappa.
Finally, the leader hung his head and his screaming stopped. "I pledge my allegiance to Frieza."
"Good boy," said Vegeta. He powered up an incredible amount and and sent a ki beam straight through the man. The other three stopped their attack, and watched the leader fall to the ground. He was dead. "Now, wasn't that easy?"
The four stood silent for about ten seconds, until Matrone made a desperate, terrified, whimpering sound, and backed herself into a corner, and passed out right there.
