CHAPTER 8. RAGE

Taiah waves to the Yerons as her ship takes off. Once in space Taiah activates the light-drive and leaves. After several thousand lightyears Taiah uses the computer to follow the path of her old space pod. Her ship has the pod's flight recorder which leads her to a black hole. "Here we go!" She enters it and when she emerges Taiah activates her drive and flies on

After five months of travel Taiah finds the ruins of planet Vegeta. She can still sense the amount of energy it took to destroy the planet. "Mother…Father…Whoever you were I swear I will rebuild our race and become the greatest Saiyan Warrior to ever live…" She powers up the light-drive and leaves. Taiah heads for a nearby star system and lands on the planet surface.

She immediately begins practicing her transformations. In the beginning it is very hard to master Super Saiyan form one, but after eight months she masters the transformation. Now Taiah tries form 2 which takes two years to master. When her training is complete Taiah has mastered every aspect of her powers and abilities. She jumps in her ship and leaves the planet.

Meridian Universal Space Station

"Please identify yourself…" The voice over the COM demands.

Taiah had come upon a space station while traveling, so she decides to stop, get information, and stretch her legs, "My name is Taiah…"

"What is your business on Meridian Station?"

"I'm just looking for information and some fresh supplies."

"To dock is a onetime fee of fifty credits."

"Right!"She replies, then a tractor beam takes her ship and pulls it in. Taiah has money from her winnings at the Universal tournament and the money Koru left her in his will. The Space Station is the size of a moon. The center of the station is shaped like a dome but the rest is saucer like. Aliens from all over the Galaxy are present. Some just passing through like Taiah, others live on the space station.

"Welcome to Meridian Space Station…Please pay the docking fee of fifty credits." The android says at the docking station kiosk.

"Where can I get food and information?"

"Information can be accessed by any terminal in the station…Information costs depending on the nature. There are precisely one thousand food courts in the Space Station with a wide variety of foods from all over the universe including Earth delights and Saiyan foods. At no cost to you here is a holo-map of the station. Please return the holo-map upon your departure." As Taiah walks away the Android screams, "NEXT!"

Taiah makes her way to the food court tale wrapped around her waist and she wears a hooded brown cloak. She takes a tram to the red sector and which is the closest and heads for the food court. Taiah orders a course of Saiyan food, then some Earth food, Zawn, and three other courses from different systems. She eats the six course meal at a table alone.

"Oh my that is a Saiyan female…" An alien with tentacles for arms and legs says.

"What!" His companion looks through his head scanners and sees the Siayan female eating alone at a table with her hood down. "I thought there were no more female Saiyans in the galaxy…The boss will pleased."

"We must be careful…Saiyans are fighters."

"This one has a power level of one hundred thousand." He looks at his partner, "We're gonna need more help to capture her."

When Taiah is done with her meal she pays and goes looking for a terminal. As she walks up a hallway people start running and screaming as a gang of five aliens block the hallway. Then another five appear behind her. "Something I can do for you gentlemen?"

"Our Boss thinks you are very beautiful and he has sent this token of his admiration…" He holds out a diamond collar.

"Is your Boss Saiyan?"

"No that is his name and what his people are called…Bauss."

"Sorry not interested."

"It is not wise to refuse The Boss!"

Taiah sneers her anger rising, "Get out of my way or there will be trouble!"

"Fine witch! Take her down!"

Before they can attack two more aliens appear, "This woman is our bounty!"

"The Twins!"

As they talk Taiah measures their power levels and all them combined adds up to 473,000, she could take them all on in form 1, the Twins are another story, as they are hiding a huge amount of power. To defeat them she would have to crank it all the way up to form 2. "Yes the Twins…Bounty Hunters, Queen Chilla has a bounty on this witches head of 10,000,000.00 Credits!"

"Okay so who is first?" Taiah asks.

"The bounty is dead or alive…"

"I guess you two are first…" Taiah roars and as she does her power level rises and she starts glowing, her hair and tale turn gold. She stops at one million two hundred thousand. She flies at the Twins and punches the younger one in the face and sends him flying. Then she follows up with a spin kick, but the Elder Twin blocks and throws a punch. That is when the younger twin appears via a speed jump and punches Taiah in the face. She goes flying through the inner wall and through the market and slams into an atmospheric pipe.

As the Elder Twin comes flying at her Taiah throws a blast of energy at him. He bats it to the side and she leaps off the pipe and they both fight. "We got your Twin!" When he stops the Elder Twin looks back his brother is held captive by the gang. "We put a power level suppression collar on him." Taiahs fist is inches from the Elder Twin's face. "Leave or he dies…She is ours."

"Never surrender brother!"

He powers down, "Let my brother go and I give you my word we will depart…"

"No you leave and we will send him to you."

"Let him go and I will come quietly."

"Power down first and put this on." The gang leader says tossing Taiah the suppression collar.

She obeys then places the collar on. They release the younger Twin and they leave. Then the gang leader and his men take Taiah to The Boss. "Are we gonna let them get away with that brother?"

"No we are not!"

THE BOSS' SECRET HIDEOUT – PLANET B

The Boss is big and fat with four arms and green skin. "When Daka told me he had a female Saiyan I could hardly believe…Many pleasures will you give me."

"The hell I will…"

Daka the gang leader presses a button that shocks Taiah, "Do not talk back to your Master Slave…"

He claps his hands, "Ladies prepare her for my pleasure…"

Women come forward all slaves and take Taiah to the baths. They undress her and bathe her, then they dress her in a red slave outfit. She has on red stockings, knee high boots, a short skirt with a slit on both sides and a red thin top with scales that barely covering her breasts. They pin up her thick long black hair that goes to the middle of her back.. Meanwhile The Twins arrive as they had placed a tracker on Taiah. They float outside the underground base and touch fists. The Twins fuse into a powerful being with a power level of three million.

The Boss is about to force Taiah to kiss him when an explosion blows a hole in his base. "We are Hatuma!" He points his hand and blasts Duka killing him. The Boss guards attack and Hatuma takes them all on defeating them with killing blows. The fight doesn't last long, then he looks at The Boss. "Your turn tubby!"

The Boss starts laughing and throws Taiah aside, "You desecrate my base! Attack my men, and interrupt my pleasures!" He roars and starts glowing, all the fat on him bubbles and shrinks as it turns to muscle. As he transforms The Boss' power level rises to Four and half million. He is glowing with black energy with blue lightening arcing through it.

Hatuma and The Boss charge each other, but the Boss is faster and stronger. With one punch Hatuma goes flying through the roof of the base and onto the planet surface. Taiah runs and spots the moon. Her eyes turn red and her rage starts to build. The suppression collar on her neck starts to make noises and hisses smoke. Arcs of lightening jump across her body, Taiah reaches up and rips the collar off as she transforms into a giant golden ape.

On the surface Hatuma puts up a losing fight, he throws a left, but The Boss catches it, he throws a right and that fist is caught as well. Then with his other two hands the Boss beats Hatuma mercilessly. His power level drops and then Hatuma splits into two individuals. "That's why I'm the Boss!" His celebration is cut short as a huge explosion destroys his base. A Roar rises from the ground as the planet shakes, arcs of lightening shoot into the air with smoke that billows up.

The Boss stretches his eyes as a great Golden Ape rises into the air laughing. Taiah's Ape form has boosted her power level to six million. She speed jumps and appears behind The Boss and with one punch he flies for a thousand leagues and hits a mountain shattering it. Taiah opens her mouth and sends an energy bolt at him, there is a huge explosion, then at hyper-speed she flies across the countryside, but as she approaches The Boss fires a beam at her, when it hits her body it is absorbed.

She grabs him with one hand and with the other she punches him over and over again. Then she pitches him and fires a blast from her mouth. There is an explosion in the air and The Boss is no more. Taiah makes fists and beats her chest in victory. Then she stomps her foot shaking the planet. Next she performs a thunder clap devastating the countryside. She roars and unleashes blast after blast of energy. Within hours the planet is laid to waste.

Taiah awakens and starts coughing, she is naked. "Oh my!" She says as everything on the planet had been devastated. Taiah flies to The Boss' base in hopes of finding a ship. She finds the skeletons of the Boss slaves and troops. She finally finds an escape pod and using her mechanical knowhow she places long range thrusters on the pod and leaves.

When she reaches the Space Station Taiah teleports to her ship and is able to bathe and put on new clothes. Her pod was too small to be detected by Station operators. "I got to get better control of that raging Ape…" Taiah gets some star charts and supplies before leaving.
