The next chapter is up! Enjoy :)
For Angel, it didn't feel like she's been in the DBZ Universe for a month. It feels like she's been there longer. She can only imagine what her parents, brother, and sister in-law must be going through. They must be going out of their minds, wondering where the hell she was. Each week that went by, Angel was growing more and more homesick. Sure, the training kept her fairly distracted.
After her freak out from when she put Goku through the wall. Angel refused to do anymore fighting for the next few days. But talking to Bulma surprisingly helped put her mind at ease. Eventually, the older woman was able to talk her back into training with the saiyans. If not for concern over the young woman's wellbeing and safety. Whis and Lord Beerus were very clear when they informed them all that she'd be at risk with powerful enemies. Including everyone's favorite evil emperor, Frieza.
Bulma seen her train a few times. And the blue haired scientist was nothing less than impressed. Since that first bout of training, Angel's skills have progressed quite rapidly after that. She's still nowhere close to being as powerful as Goku or Vegeta. But she can hold herself quite well against them in a fight. Of course, there would be times Goku would have to intervene. Because Vegeta would say things to piss the young woman off.
But even Goku busted out laughing, when he couldn't make it in time, and she fired off a blast at Vegeta. It really sent him flying, and his body was practically skimming over the water of a nearby lake like a skipping stone. It was pretty comical to watch. Even Bulma got a good laugh out of it afterwards. Of course, the only one who wasn't laughing; was the grumpy saiyan prince himself.
Lord Beerus and Whis left not long after Angel's first training experience. But make occasional stops for food like they always do. And whenever they did, they would observe her progress. They were just as impressed as Goku and Vegeta were. Angel is still a bit uneasy with this new found power. But she is starting to gradually get use to it.
Angel was especially psyched when Goku gave her the fine points of learning how to fly. At first, she was skeptical on if she would really be able to achieve such a feat. Probably because in her mind, humans really can't fly. Or so she thought. She did remember that Videl was capable of flying. Having learned from Gohan when they were teens.
Surprisingly though, Angel was able to learn the basics in only a couple days. After a week, she could fly at a comfortable speed. But still doesn't feel ready to go at fast speeds. Goten and Trunks couldn't hold in their laughter when the first time Angel was able to lift off the ground. She started floating upwards like a balloon. Then started panicking when she couldn't get back down, she just continued ascending up into the sky. When the boys noticed she was in fact really starting to freak out. They flew up to get her and brought her back down.
As Angel slowly drifts into the second month of being here. She was getting a little more antsy, while awaiting for Lord Beerus and Whis to come back with news on the other missing Daigon Spheres. She can only hope they brought back good news when they finally come. Just because she was told that she is of another race, it didn't mean she belonged here. Camden will always be her home. She was born in that Universe, grew up on that version of earth. It's the only one she's ever known, but most of all...she still felt like she belonged there.
The day finally came when the destroyer god and his attendant informed them that they were on their way to earth with news. Angel was both excited and nervous about what the two deities were going to share with them. Everyone was waiting out on the large balcony for the divine beings to come. Which should be any minute now.
Angel was leaning against the balcony railing. While everyone else was eagerly awaiting for lunch to be served. She was rocking back and forth on her heels slightly. Getting a bit fidgety waiting for Lord Beerus and Whis. So caught up in thought, that she didn't realize Bulma approached her with a glass of lemonade.
"Here, this is yours. Why don't you come sit with us. Don't have to wait over here by yourself, anxiously biting your fingernails you know." Bulma told the antsy young woman.
Angel took the glass and thanked her.
"I know. It's just, I really miss my family and my home. In a way, I feel like I'm not getting any closer to going back. And it annoys the shit out of me that all I can do is sit here and wait. I kind of wish Lord Beerus and Whis could've taken me with them and help them look for one of the spheres." She said.
Bulma gave her a reassuring smile.
"Hey, don't worry so much. Because that's not going to help you get any closer to finding a way home either. Plus, if anyone can possibly find one of the spheres, it's them." Bulma assured them.
Angel sighs and takes a sip of her lemonade. She knows Bulma is making a good point there. You have divine beings who can easily transverse all throughout space without a problem at ridiculous high speeds. She just needs to put a little more faith in that they will find one. I mean, they do have their own kind of mystic magic right?
The two women were interrupted when a familiar bright luminescent light touched down on the balcony. Ironically, the two of them came just as the food was coming out. And before Whis or Lord Beerus told her anything. They made a B-Line to the buffet table first. Typical. They piled on the different varieties of food before sitting down.
Angel was ready to walk right over there and ask them what news they had. But her stomach chose otherwise for her. When it made a loud grumbling sound. That's when she decided to grab some of her own food first. She went over, quickly grabbed a plate, and quickly took some small portions from the different trays of foods. Then she took a deep breath and made her way over to the table the destroyer and his attendant occupied.
Whis looked up from his plate and smiled when he saw her approach and take a seat across from him.
"Hello, Angel how is everything?" He asked.
She smiled back. "Ok, but I'm really getting homesick at this point."
Angel so badly wanted to ask him right now what news he has for her. But at the same time she was scared about what answer he may give her.
The tall blue angel's smile began to waiver a bit.
"Angel, I'm sorry to say that what I have is not good news. At least, not this time. But upon searching most of the western regions of space. We still couldn't find any sign of the presence of the remaining Daigon Spheres. All I can tell you, is be patient and don't get discouraged. Just because there is no sign of them there, doesn't mean they are nowhere to be found elsewhere. There is still the North, South, and East Regions of space to look." He informed her.
Angel swallowed the lump in her throat.
"But what if you look and there is no sign of them there either? For all we know, they could be in another universe. Remember, there are at least eleven other universes here they could probably be and we won't know it." She said.
Lord Beerus shakes his head. "No, they would only be in the Seventh Universe. The Kandusai would have no reason to hide them in other universes they have never been to. This universe is vast enough to hide the spheres safely from the wrong hands."
She arched a brow in question at this. "But I thought you said only the Kandusai can wield or work a Daigon Sphere. So even if the wrong people did happen to stumble upon one of them. They wouldn't be able to get it to work right?"
"In most cases, yes. But technology has gotten pretty advanced in the last few thousand years. A lot of crazed scientists out there who would love to get their hands on the spheres. Eventually, some may be able to find ways around that little setback. So yes, it still would be bad if they ended up in the wrong hands." Whis added.
In that moment, Goku and Vegeta decided to plop down at the table. Like always, they piled enough food on their plates for four people. Then wasted no time in digging in. Watching the two saiyans eat was always a rather funny spectacle to watch. They literally stuffed their faces so fast, almost like they were expecting the food to get up and run away from them. Usually it was hard for Angel to hold back a chuckle when they would do this.
But right now, her heart felt too heavy to even crack a smile at their hilarious table manners. She couldn't even make it halfway through her own plate before shoving it away. The news put her in a funk and made her lose her appetite. And after inhaling half his food, Goku looked up from his plate to see she hardly finished hers. He was about to open his mouth and lecture her about the importance of eating to keep your energy and strength up. Until he saw the petite woman struggling to hold back tears.
"Hey, you ok, Angel?" He asked out of concern.
She gave the orange clad saiyan a tight lipped smile.
"I'm fine, just really not all that hungry." She said.
Sensing she wasn't feeling up for talking. Goku went back to eating. Vegeta watched the exchange silently as he ate. He already gathered the young woman was clearly upset. Betting Whis didn't give her the news she was hoping to hear. Usually, the saiyan prince would tell her to suck it up and that a warrior never cries. But the last time he said something like that. Goku reamed him out for it.
By the time lunch was over, Lord Beerus and Whis said, it was time for them to depart. Normally, the two deities would've stayed longer. But they had something important to discuss with some other deities. So the destroyer and his attendant bid them farewell and then they were off. Before leaving, Whis assured her that they will eventually find one of the spheres. Emphasize 'eventually'.
Afterwards, Angel got up and told Bulma she was leaving for a while. She kicked off the balcony and was airborne. She wasn't alone up there long when Goku and Vegeta flew up beside her.
"Wait, where you going?" Goku asked.
She bit her lip. "I'm sorry, Goku. But for now, I just want to be alone for a little bit. I was thinking of heading for that lake in the nearby woods we often practice at."
"We know you came far in a short amount of time with your training. But that still doesn't mean you should just run off on your own whenever you feel like it." Vegeta warned.
Angel started to loose her patience with the two saiyans.
"Listen, I'm a grown ass thirty year old woman. Not some little kid that needs to be constantly monitored. And I don't feel in the mood for anymore lectures. We're on earth, what the hell is dangerous here? Besides you two and the other fighters? Just leave me be and I'll be back later." She snapped.
Afterwards, she took off.
"And don't think about following me either!" She yelled back over her shoulder.
And the two warriors had no choice, but to go back down to the balcony. Knowing she really would get pissed if they did follow her. Even though Angel is still struggling with it a bit. She is slowly picking up on how to sense other people's ki signatures. And if Angel were to pick up on them spying on her, then there will be hell to pay.
It took her fifteen minutes to get there, since she flew slower then the others. Angel found one of the trees closest to the shore and landed. She sat down and leaned against the tree trunk. Grasping her temples as many emotions swirled around her head all at once. Eventually, she couldn't hold back the tears anymore. She silently cried. To think, once upon a time she thought her whole world came crashing down when she caught her boyfriend of three years cheating on her. It took her a while to just cope with that, while maintaining some stability in her life.
Then something crazy happened. She had to be the one to stumble upon a strange orb while jogging through the woods. With said orb sending her to a place by most standards should not exist. And if that wasn't enough to add to her shit storm. They tell her she isn't normal. That she's part of some extinct warrior race. Angel could only fathom what comes next.
"What the fuck is going to happen next? I get crushed by a fucking meteor?" She said, sarcastically to herself.
"I certainly hope not. At least not yet. As of now, I need you for something important." Came a posh voice from her right.
Angel froze, she knew that voice. It was a very distinguishable voice. One she was hoping she would never hear during her stay here. What she said next, even surprised herself.
"Go Away. Not in the mood to deal with vertically challenged tyrants right now." She grounded out.
Frieza reared back in surprise. When he first made himself known to others, he never got this kind of response from anyone. This tiny slip of a woman had some balls to say something like that to him. If he didn't need her for his plans, he would've killed her on the spot for such a crude remark. When he didn't budge, the woman finally lifted her head and looked at him. Instead of fear, he saw anger in those light blue orbs.
"Did you not hear what I said?" She snapped.
Just where was this boldness coming from!? It almost seemed like she was hardly afraid of him. Was this part of her 'warrior' side that was coming out?
He went to stand in front of her. No longer amused. Frieza punched her in the side of the head. Or at least he tried. To his shock, she deflected it. Then she pushed back on her hands and thrust her legs out and sent a double kick to his gut. The force of the kick sent him sailing towards the water. And soon he was submerged. Rage coiled within him and he shot up and out of the water. But when he did, the young woman was no longer there.
He honed in on her strange energy and saw her flying away, heading straight back to the Brief's Residence. Frieza needed to get to her before she got to the saiyans. Luckily, she wasn't that fast of a flyer, her flight pattern was actually pretty clumsy. Like she hadn't been flying for very long. Thanks to the metal band around his wrist, Goku and Vegeta couldn't detect his high battle power. His only threat now; was her getting to them and alerting the saiyans to his presence.
The tyrant caught up with her with ease. And fazed right in front of her. She gasped in surprise and came to a halt mid air. Or at least tried, she still was getting the hang of stopping. Because of this, Angel ended up colliding into him. But Frieza caught her about the arms to keep her from crashing into him. He sneered at her and squeezed her arms, causing her to wince.
"As far as introductions go, that was very rude." He said.
As soon as Frieza finished that sentence, he slammed his knee into her midsection.
Angel gasped in pain and started to struggle in his grasp. She had strength to her, he'll give her that. But still no match for him.
"Let go!" She yelled in his face.
Frieza couldn't resist taunting her.
"Aren't you going to say please?" He taunted.
Ok, now she was pissed. Angel growled and slammed her head hard into his. He yelped and grabbed his nose. And She backed away from him.
"Please." She retorted back.
He glared at her through his hand. Then to her surprise, he started chuckling. When he finally pulled his hand away from his face, she saw blood gushing from his nose. Yet Frieza, still had a creepy smile on his face.
"I can already tell, your going to be a fun one to break." He told her.
As soon as Frieza said that, he came in quick and gave her a karate chop to the back of the head. The move was not strong enough to kill her, just knock her out so it wouldn't be a struggle getting her back to the ship. He caught the unconscious woman before she could fall. Then he flew up to a two man ship, that was hovering up in earth's stratosphere.
The thick fog and mountains concealed him as he flew upwards into the sky. He got to the ship within a couple minutes. Frieza strapped her in, then started up the ship, and left for space. On the way to the main ship, he caught movement in the corner of his eye and heard a barely audible groan. He turned to her and saw her head sway from side to side. But she didn't wake. A malicious smirk filled his face again. All the things he could think of to do to her. She will have no choice but to assist him in his search of the Daigon Spheres, so that he may invade other Universes and Dimensions.
Uh oh, looks like Angel has been captured. And this time, Frieza executed the task himself, instead of sending his men. Can't imagine what he has in store for our young Heroine when she come to. Until Next Time ;)
