Year 784 - Back from the Dead

POV Lilly

We walked into the laboratory, it was cold. I was worried about my master. But I softly heard some ticking sound over my ear piece. I could have dressed a little warmer I thought to myself. But I was wearing my standard high lace-up boots a short skirt a shirt and jacket with the Capsule Corporation logo. With the collar turned up so my necklace couldn't be seen. I had quickly become accustomed to the milder weather on Earth. I walked silently behind my father. The walls were discolored white, the floor was dark green. There were filing cabinets and junk everywhere. It just made me feel dirty. I longed for my home with the Brief family. "Where is Vixy?" my father asked suddenly. "She stayed on earth; I thought that was the smart thing to do." "But then you'll never see her again. You won't get out of here. You know that huh". I got goose bumps.

Two large doors of his lab opened, it was even colder there. I shivered for a moment. "Come my girl" and I followed my father. I hadn't been in his lab in so long. Prepared for anything I looked around. The feelings of fear and anxiety ran through me. The idea that he could do something at any moment, like that gas from over a month ago. Wasn't it longer? It felt like a year. So much had happened. Trunks! His face just popped up. I have to go on, I have to go back.

"So girl, you want to get to know your mother?" my father had a scary expression on his face. I didn't know him like that. As if a monster had awakened in him. "Where is she?" I asked determinedly. "Back here" he rubbed a strange sliding door; I used to think that was just lab stuff behind it. "The woman I saw in the binder on the picture was that mom?" The question suddenly came to mind, I had to know. My dad petted the door. "Oh my beautiful Vino, she was extra pretty when she was pregnant with you. But no matter what I did she wasn't going to be happy. I gave her everything. She had her own room; she didn't have to fight next to those Saiyans anymore. She was a lady, she shouldn't be fighting. But she didn't love me, she still loved her prince. That's why I wanted a little lady, a little Vino of my own. One who would love me and not a prince" He continued to stare at the door.

POV Trunks

We looked through Baba`s ball we saw her father and we heard the explanation. "That creep! But how? She was dead. Nappa! She was dead, you carried her in" a confused Raditz looked at his old teammate. Nappa knew more, I could see it in his face. He had an annoyed victory smile on his face. He spit on the ground again. "Was she really dead Raditz?" Nappa looked at Raditz straight on. Everyone looked at Nappa in surprise. "Do you really think she wouldn't have survived that explosion? It was the ultimate cover for our plan". The large Sayian began to walk toward the group. Raditz couldn't say anything from shock. "Tell us more" I snarled at Nappa. He looked at me, "you look familiar, who are you?" "Talk" I hissed.

"Fine, I had a deal with Romero. He wanted Vino and I wanted to get rid of her. He had a whole army of robots underground. They would all attack our prince if she didn't surrender herself. Three guesses why she just lost her tail that day". Raditz flew at him but the big Saiyan was too strong and knocked him away. Then Nappa flew at Raditz but then Goku got in the way "You were telling Nappa" as Goku grabbed his wrist and pushed him away. I gave Raditz a hand but he slapped it away. He did say something like thank you, very quiet. "I lifted the rock under which Vino lay, but before I called our great prince I injected a medicine directly into her heart given by the doctor. She seemed dead to everyone, but she was still there. The prince was so heartbroken it was beautiful".

Everyone stood still, amazed, listening to the ultimate betrayal story. "She was your niece, she was our lady and she was Vegeta`s girl" Raditz balled his fists and wanted to attack again. Nappa jumped back a bit "You are not strong enough, you never were Raditz". I was quick enough to get behind him and tapped him on the shoulder. Nappa turned around "you little maggot, who are you". I gave him a punch in the stomach "My name is Trunks, son of that great prince Vegeta" Nappa started laughing "What a mockery, you are not worthy of being a Sayian". At that moment I became super Sayian, and kicked him across the field. He was removed from this dimension by an angel.

POV Lilly

I looked hypnotized at the weird door. I wasn't paying attention, my father was too fast. An injection into my neck. I felt myself getting weaker. My body sank to the floor "What was that" I gasped. "Oh it's just to weaken you for a moment, I can see you've gotten stronger. And you don't want to hurt your poor dad if I show you this" my father looked at me coldly. He pressed a code and two doors slid open. I saw her, she was lying there my mother. Her white hair in a perfect braid. She was wearing a beautiful dress. She had a small scar on her cheek. She was on meters, pumps and an IV. I saw a heart rate meter, but when I looked closer I saw a small unhealed spot in her temple. "What is this?"

With all the strength I had in me I raised up, no way I was going to let a drug stop me. I brought my power life up with great effort. I have to leave here; my mother has to leave here. Where was Vegeta? I was alone; I've been a weakling for too long. Never again! I blasted some machines to pieces around me. Weakened or not, he will pay for this. At that moment, hired soldiers came in. I stopped them with an energy shield. My father slammed the doors of mother's hospital cage shut. On two sides of me were soldiers. They attacked me but jumped aside, I had to lure them away from mother if I want to fight and so I shot a hole in the wall with a ki blast. That's how I attracted them outside.

My body fell to the ground, damn drugs. The soldiers attacked me but they were beaten away. Vegeta was standing next to me, helping me up. "Did you find Vino?" he asked. Yes I nodded. "She is inside with my father, he has her in a coma. We need to find a ship". At that moment more soldiers arrived. We stood back to back. Blasting them away, we flew into the air and fought them off us. Out of the corner of my eye I saw my father driving away mother's iron cage. I flew towards it but at that moment I was hit by a shot directly in my chest. I crashed down next to my mother's hospital cage. My air was halved, full of drugs and with a pneumothorax I didn't have much strength left but still came up. I grabbed my father but he quickly managed to overpower me. "Vegeta, you'd better stop. Which of these two should I finish first" my father went mental.

Vegeta stood opposite my father. "Let them go Romero!" "Shoot him master, please take mama away" I cried. "Master? You call him master? What is it with you damn women and Saiyans. Why can't you love me" First my father shot my mother's cage. "Vegeta, shoot now" I shouted. "I was going to get you home in one piece. I promised" he shouted back. "Oh try and get this back in one piece" I felt a sharp pain through my stomach and I collapsed. My father flew to my mother and I was caught by Vegeta. I had a large wound in my abdomen, he was holding it closed with one hand. "You monster!" shouted Vegeta to my father. Meanwhile father had pulled my mother out of her cage and used it as a shield against him. "Vegeta let go of me, he's got mom." My master shook his head "no then you will die". We were surrounded by soldiers. If he let me go, I will die. If he held me, he can die protecting me. I saw the pain in his eyes. I thought of Trunks, his family, my friends and Beerus! B`s necklace, I put my hand against the sapphire stone "Beerus" my voice died away.

My eyes were closing. Everything became blurry around me. Voices went into slow motion. I felt a wave of warmth pass through me. My strength came back I was lying alone on the ground, I jumped up and flew at my mother, my father was in between us but I had grapt her wrist. I looked angrily my father and then I heard him! Beerus! He was standing next to Vegeta. "Whis, take them away. This planet has had its day. Little Lil doesn't need to see this". I could just barely see Master and B with their backs to each other holding up their hands and releasing a blast. A big white flash followed, we were in a field next to Capsule Corporation, and I saw the building. I looked angrily at my father and let go of my mother and punched him in the face and flew at him.

POV Lady Vino

"My lady, please wake up now." I heard a voice, I slowly saw the world around me. My hands in beautiful green grass. I felt wind through my hair, real air in my lungs. I looked sideways and saw a tall light blue man with a strange circle around his neck. White hair in a crazy quiff and he was holding a staff. I shook my head "Am I dead" I asked. "Yes and no" said the voice. "Your body was beyond saving, I gave you a temporary boost. You can think of it as extra bonus time. My lady, you have thirty minutes". Then I heard a woman's voice "are you Vino?" When I looked up I saw a blue haired woman, she looked at me full of emotion. "Yes" I stood up straight. She started pointing "then you are Lilly`s mother?" Lilly, that`s what I called my baby. She was so tiny when I held her. I tried to run away. That creep shot me in my temple while I had my Lilly in my arms. I followed her finger to where she pointed. My daughter! And she was fighting that creep.

In an instant I was hanging in the air between my daughter and the man who had destroyed my life. I grabbed his wrist the moment he lashed out at Lilly. Stunned and scared, the doctor looked at me. Without thinking I snapped his wrist and he cried out in pain. "Did you attack my Lilly just now?" it was a rhetorical question. He looked at me in bewilderment. "Lilly leave us alone" I commanded. She wanted to go against me but I cut her off. I couldn't look at her, not now that I was as angry as I was now. The creep looked at my girl "better listen to your mommy daughter". He wanted to shoot something at her but I was too quick and knocked it away, then I felt her energy slowly distancing herself.

It was time for my revenge, I gave him a kick in the stomach and he flew away. But I was quick enough to shoot him again from his back into the ground. With all the strength I had I landed on his back. He shot electrical energy around him. I blocked it with an energy shield. I ran around him and I hit him away in a blast. He rolled on the grass and I kicked him into the air. I flew harder and I ended up above him, I had gotten some long nails and I clawed his back open causing a shot of pain to fly through him. He turned around and shot some lightning at me. I blocked him and we flew at each other. He managed to land a punch on the corner of my mouth. I spit some blood to the ground.

Softly I did hear some voices in the back ground. I ignored them. Another voice. I was blinded by rage, this man had to die. This man had caused so much pain. But then I heard his voice "Stand down my lady". Startled I looked back and I saw him, after all these years I saw my prince. I didn't realize that doctor creep was attacking my again. And before I could blink Vegeta was standing between me and Romero. He grabbed creep's other wrist and broke it too. He fell to the ground in pain. Tears in my eyes I looked at my prince. "Ve-Vegeta?" he looked at me playfully. "My lady" his voice felt like home, finally.

"Why did you stop me?" I wiped away my tears. "I know he hurt you extremely, I can't even imagine what he did. But there is only one person who gets to decide his fate". At first I didn't understand him, and then I looked back. I saw my sweet little Lilly; she was standing close to a blue haired boy and next to a catlike person. She looked scared and angry at the same time. "Lilly, come" commanded Vegeta. I saw my daughter, she was walking straight up, she was a real teenager but also a lady. I felt more proud than ever. I could only stare at her. She came to stand between me and Vegeta. She was looking straight at Romero. "Please Lilly, I'm your daddy. You're not going to hurt your daddy are you?" begged Romero. I saw tears in her eyes "You may be my Father, but you are definitely not my dad. One thing Vegeta taught me is that a dad puts his children first and always protects them. Accepts them as they are and does everything for them. You are far from being a dad".

She grabbed something from her belt and out came a kind of snake of electric energy. It was a whip, She flicked the whip backwards and forwards. It came to be wrapped around his neck. Tears in her eyes, her hand trembled. The electrical energy, she had from her father. It was frightening and looked so powerful. She had all the control. More lightning shot through the whip through his body. I heard Romero scream in pain. Tears ran down my little girl's cheeks. Her hand was shaking violently. Worried, I looked at Vegeta, he was thinking the same thing. At the same time we put our hands on her shoulder. "You've never taken a life before?" I asked softly. She shook no. My other hand pressed down the hand that held the whip. The energy dissipated and Romero was relieved of the painful current shots. "You don't have to do this, girl" she looked at me with big golden eyes. "But mama, what he did. He doesn't deserve to live. He, he is" She started to rattle in slight panic. "Shh, it's okay. Taking a life marks you for life. I remember my first one, it's going to hunt you down. Walk away, to that boy over there. Vegeta and I have enough blood on our hands. This is not your burden to bear". I heard my prince call out a name "Trunks, get Lilly" And that blue haired boy was standing next to us in a second "come sweety, come".

They were gone, I looked at my prince " Sweetie? She has a boyfriend now?" Vegeta had a smirk on his face "Yes it's still very new. But my son is being good to her." I began to giggle lightly "son, you have a son?" We looked at Lilly and Vegeta`s son together. He had his arms around her, she was standing with her face against his chest. Proudly I looked at my prince, he had a victory grin on his face. We looked at each other, we heard someone begging to let him go. But at the same time we brought our hands up towards the creep who had scarred our lives. A great ki ball arose from our hands together. And shot it away against the doctor, there wasn't even a body left.

Suddenly I felt less air coming into my lungs and I became lightheaded. The world around me began to spin and I collapsed to the ground through my legs. Two large arms caught me "Got you." This was my end, my spare time was over. Vegeta held me in his arms in his lap. "Vino" a scream escaped his mouth. Frightened, he looked at me. I heard footsteps approaching "mama." My head rested against my prince's chest. I looked to the side and my little Lilly was on her knees with us. I brought my hand to her heart "I am so proud of you my girl". Tears slipped from her eyes down her cheeks "mama you can't go, not now". My lungs itched, I began to cough. "I was already dead, I just got some extra minutes. It's okay" I felt Vegeta's grip tighten. His eyes were full of tears. "Take good care of each other ok?" my two greatest loves nodded in agreement. "Now I can finally rest, safe in your arms my love" My head rested against his chest once more, I heard his heartbeat and my eyes slowly sank shut. "I love you too my prince." I felt myself sinking.

POV Lilly

"Mama, mama no!" heavily shaking my head. How could this happen, I had finally found her. Tears fell from out of Vegeta`s eyes onto my mother`s face. I was still holding her hand where she had just placed it. Vegeta still had her on his lap. He didn`t say a word, I felt like I cried like a baby. I felt a hand on my back, Trunks was there. "Vegeta?" Bulma had come to stand next to her husband. Vegeta and I shared a look and I placed mom`s hand on the spot of her own heart. Vegeta stood up, looking at his first love lifeless in his arms. "My prince, this time we must do it right. The Saiyan way". Surprised, Master looked at a large long-haired man standing two meters away. "Raditz?" asked Vegeta in surprise. The man had a smile on his face. "I couldn't miss our lady's last fight could I?"

My hand found my boyfriend's hand. I looked at the two men they were discussing something. I no longer had my head completely in it. I felt a kiss against my temple. I looked up and felt safe, felt at home. "Lilly, we need your help. We're going to give her a worthy farewell. That of a true Saiyan warrior." I walked over to Vegeta and the other man. The man turned to Goku "Little brother, you have to give me a hand. I will fill you in on our way" Goku nodded. The two flew away, I followed the prince.

That night, a large pyre had been built. The Saiyan prince was holding Mom. She was wrapped in snow-white sheets. I walked beside Vegeta. Raditz was standing by the front of the built pyre. He took her from Vegeta. They bowed to each other. Raditz laid the lifeless remains on the wood. Every one of the Z fighters on earth was gathered. They were there for us. Raditz, Goku, Prince Vegeta and I all four stood at a corner, Our right hand on the pyre aimed a light ki blast we fired at the wood. It began to burn, the pyre was on fire. We saw flames dancing into the air. It was a Saiyan farewell.

POV Lady Vino

There was fire, I saw my prince with his wife. She was standing next to him and he had an arm around her. She looked at her husband with concern but with so much love. I looked at my daughter. She was standing at her boyfriend and another boy. She will never be alone again. I just had to pick up someone; he too does not belong in this world. I grabbed my friend's arm. "Are you ready my darling" surprised Raditz smiled at me. "Ready when you are my lady". We walked away from the fire. "Are you alright?" he asked concerned. Proudly I looked back at what I left behind on this world. "When I look at my legacy I am proud. She is becoming a better version of me. My prince and I will always be connected through her. She is not his daughter, but she is family. But now it's time for a new chapter. Are you up for it? " Raditz smiled at me and we walked in to the light.
