Chapter 2 - A Rude Awakening

Mizuna awoke to her ship crashing into the ground, shaking violently as it bore a massive crater into the landscape of whatever planet she had ended up on. Oh no, what happened? Where am I? Oh right.."Freeza." She spoke the last word aloud, bitterness and despair welling up inside her.

"I need to get out of here." She said, closing her eyes and focusing her ki, she expanded the building energy in an explosion, destroying the broken ship and freeing her from it. Flying up from the crater, she looked around her surroundings, she could see a small village in the near distance. Only about a mile away. There wasn't much else around, mostly pleasant looking grassland, and some scattered farmhouses. Mizuna clicked on her scouter for any decent power levels this planet had to offer, there were multiple people around 500 to 1000. Some even at 3000. Their warriors perhaps? One immediately jumped out to her. 6,000? Impossible! Many Saiyan warriors never hit a level that high. Maybe some fighters like that oversized brute Nappa, but it was rare. I should be careful.

Before she could ponder her dubious situation more, She noticed a figure walking towards her from the small village she had noticed. The welcoming committee. She reached her hand towards the scouter sitting on the side of her face, and turned it on to get a reading. A power level of 2,500 greeted her. Impressive, but pathetic for a Saiyan Elite such as herself. She put one of her feet infront of the other to move towards the stranger, but in an instant they disappeared from view. Almost as if they were a ghost. "Wha-" That definitely wasn't simply high speed movement.

"What's a little girl doing all the way out here?" A voice mused from behind her.

She swiveled on her heels towards the stranger, a fist already rocketing towards his face. He caught it effortlessly. A smirk materialized on his face. His only retort being a quick knee to her gut that dropped her to the ground, the wind completely knocked out of her. So powerful, but how?

"I recognize that 're one of Freezas men, aren't you?" The strange alien said, anger crossing his face in realization. "And a Saiyan to boot."

Once Mizuna caught her breath, she stayed where she was, curiousity overriding her budding anger. "How did you get behind me like that? Simple high-speed movements couldn't do that."

"Teleportation, one of many special skills of my people. But that's not important. You're kind have already caused too many deaths all across this sector of space, and for what? The profit of a tyrant? No longer." He held out his hand towards her, a dangerous amount of gathering in it.

"You don't understand, he betrayed us! I only just escap-"

I won't hear any of your lies, this world won't be sold into your Planet Trade Organization like so many others! We've been preparing for this."

He fired.

In a quick movement she was on her feet, catching the ball of energy in her palms and knocking it off to the side. That was all the time he needed to charge at her, he rained a punches on her, holding nothing back. He's not going to listen, I need to make some distance. She only just managed to fend them off and take to the sky.

He was waiting for her there before she was more like 30 feet off the ground. She held her hands out towards him, a barrage of ki blasts aimed precisely towards him, she could feel them all make contact with them as a brilliant explosion obscured him from view.

Mizuna sped around to the back of where she last saw him and rocketed in, pulling her fist back to finish him off. A hand came out of the smoke and caught her blow effortlessly. As the rest of the smoke cleared, she could see he was unharmed. "You're powerful, but you're not capable of defeating me. I can feel your ki, I know you're weaker then I. Just give up and I'll make it quick." She tried to pull her hand away from him, but his grip was iron, despair quickly set in on her heart.

Somethings wrong, he can't be this strong, and what's this about reading energy without a scouter? "I don't know what you're talking about, old man. But I'm going to wipe the floor with you." He let go off her and she moved away from her. High into the sky. "You have no idea who you're dealing with!" She said with a bravado she hardly felt, she balled her fists on either side of her and with a scream she powered up to her full power, her intense white aura shot out from her body and surrounded her as her ki rose.

She lifted one hand over her head as she charged up a large energy attack, and moved to fire it. Not caring how much destruction it caused. She only wanted this battle to end, this alien and his strange abilities. Then she could take vengeance on Freeza and his family. "Hyah!" She screamed as she fired, a massive blue beam shot from her hand towards the alien and the ground beneath him.

He caught it in his waiting hands and arced it up into the sky, just barely missed her as she looked up to watch it go. It detonated in the air, the explosion resonating around the landscape. Mizuna looked back down to look in disbelief at the alien, but he wasn't there.

Before she could look around more, an open palm filled her vision. Gripping her face as easily as some newborn animal. He drove her back down towards the ground and smashed her body into the dirt. She didn't even have time to scream as the crater formed under her and the pain set in. She tasted blood and heard, more then felt bones cracking. Then she knew darkness.
