Alright now it's the chapter you've all been waiting for! Amaye is gonna be fighting Frieza! I have some fighting in here, and I went into as much detail as I could in said fights. I only own the people I made up, not the people you know from both shows. Please support both shows and mangas. This fic is brought to you by a twenty-two year old Christian.
Ch. 9 The Fight for Caturanga
It was the day that everything was going to be decided. The day they were either going to live or die. Raditz stood by his comrades ready for when Frieza was to arrive very soon in fact. And to top it off, he was a nervous train wreck.
"We'll be fine Raditz. My grandmother's predictions are never wrong." Hana said from behind him.
"I know, but I'm still nervous." Raditz replied.
"Use that energy to good use when the time comes. But for now, use the breathing exercises that I taught you. They'll help you calm down."
He then began taking slow and steady breaths. Getting slower as he continued to relax with each breath, until he was completely calm and ready to face whatever Frieza threw at them.
...
"There it is Lord Frieza. Hay, Zarbon what did Vegeta say that planet was called again?" Dodoria asked.
"That would be Caturanga." he replied.
"I'm surprised that they were able to get this planet for me. The Ginyu Force couldn't even save an ounce of what the others could do. They over did it and it cost us the things they could do. And their lives." Frieza said with a twisted smile on his face.
"And to think that they were capable of accomplishing something they could not. Do you think this could be a trap?" Zarbon asked.
"Now, now Zarbon. Those monkeys may be stupid, but their not that stupid." Frieza replied.
"I can't help the feeling that something is about to bite us." Zarbon whispered to Dodoria.
"You know, now that you mention it. I've had that feeling for awhile too. I sure hope that we're imagining it." the pink pincushion replied.
"As do I Dodoria. As do I."
...
When they exited the ship they were greeted by the every single ninja on the planet bowing in respect to Frieza. This made Frieza very happy.
"Welcome to the planet Caturanga, Lord Frieza." Vegeta said in greeting.
"Well Vegeta, I must say. I'm impressed to hear that Raditz was able to convince them to join. Congratulation Raditz."
"Thank you Lord Frieza." the eldest son of Bardock replied.
"I'm sure you're wondering what happened to the group I sent to the other planet." Frieza began, "Well the Ginyu Force wiped them all out. Unable to save a thing. Naturally for their foolishness, I killed them for it. And when I heard of your success, I began to think that it was too good to be true. Then I thought to myself. They have done some impressive things in the past. So I figured...why not promote you?"
At this Dodoria began to walk up to them, and Nappa almost made him move to strike him down and begin the fight when Frieza stopped him.
"Not that kind of promotion Dodoria. You see, they have impressed me. And I want to reward them. So don't kill them like the others."
'Others?' Raditz questioned to himself.
Zarbon chuckled to himself, "No need to kill these monkeys at all like those others ones a few years back."
Now Raditz was really curious, but he didn't get to contemplate that as Ayame walked up to them.
"Forgive me Lord Frieza for not bowing long enough to say we could rise, but I'm an old woman and have a bad back." she said making the saiyans really glad that their faces were to the ground at that moment. Because had they had their faces up. It would've been seen that their faces held amusement. All three of them had the same straight lip lined, trying not to laugh look, on their faces.
"And you are?" Frieza asked in pure curiosity.
"I am Ayame, the leader of the village you stand upon. The other leaders are right behind me. And we have all come to an agreement thanks to your young warriors here."
Frieza knew that there was something going on at that moment, "And what would that be?"
"Isn't it obvious Lord Frieza?" she then got into a stance readying herself for battle, "If you want this planet you'll have to take it by force."
At that moment everyone got up and began to attack the enemy. Raditz taking on Dodoria to find out what Frieza and Zarbon were talking about. Vegeta took on Cui to settle their old score. Leaving Nappa to take on Zarbon. He knew he would have to watch it if he was going to live. He was stronger, but he didn't know if the blue man had any tricks up his sleeve.
"You will all die for your impudence, wench!" Frieza screamed as he charged the old woman.
"This day will be your last Frieza!" the old woman replied as she went through seals like nothing. "Ninja art: Fire Style: Fire Tiger Jutsu!" she called out. She then took a huge breath and she breathed out a giant fire tiger from her mouth only to have Frieza destroy it with a wave of ki.
She was counting on that as she then used her kuni to get really close and personal to his face. The kuni in her hand grazed his cheek forming a cut on his face as she passed.
"How dare you show me the sight of my own blood!" Frieza called out angrily.
"That will teach you not to underestimate your opponent old man." she said to increase his rage. And boy did it work.
"I'LL KILL YOU HERE AND NOW!" Frieza screamed as they then began the real fight.
...
Meanwhile with Raditz, he was toying with the pink pincushion in order to get him to talk about what Frieza and Zarbon meant. He ducked from under a punch to allow himself to be kicked in the ribs and knocked down to the ground. He knew it was coming, but he let himself be opened to the attack. In hopes of discovering what they meant.
As Dodoria approached the downed saiyan and asked, "So tell me Raditz...any last requests?"
"Yeah I do." he replied. "Tell me what did Zarbon mean when spoke about you killing saiyans before? Who did you kill?"
"Ah, I see. You wanna know who's blood is on my hands. Well I'll tell ya since you're going to join them anyway. It's the blood of one of your father's team mates. Tora I think his name was."
"What? You killed Tora?" Raditz asked in shock. He thought he died by the hands of the 'meatheads' on Planet Meat. Just like so many others.
"That's right. You see after they finished off the locals on the planet. My men and I killed them. And when your father arrived, he killed my men. Then I thought I killed him, but he was still alive. And he was killed by Frieza along with the rest of your pathetic planet. Your the only one of your line left Raditz. My only regret is killing someone as weak as you when I should've been the one to kill your old man. But I guess you'll do since you're the only one left of your family." he laughed at the end of his explanation. Raditz was angry at him for what he had done. But then he smiled, knowing something that he didn't.
"You know, I'm not the last of my father's line. I have a little brother. But you'll never get the chance to meet him. You want to know why? Because I'm going to kill you here and now!"
Dodoria laughed at Raditz's words, "How do you intend to kill me? You're the weakest one of your fellow monkeys!"
"By using chakara." he said standing up his chakara whipping around him, and his killing intent beginning to frighten him. Since when was he this intimidating? Something inside him was screaming at him to run for the hills, but he did not listen.
"I'm not my father, but I think he won't mind my avenging his best friend. I'll avenge Tora's death as my father's proxy!" he declared with a loud voice. His hands were running through seals at a fast pace.
"Oh no you don't." he screamed impaling him only do discover that he had been given a substitution made of wood.
"Saturday Crush!" he shouted as his chakara lased fist went right into his skull and causing it to explode on contact making the contents of his skull go everywhere, "That was for you Tora. Rest in peace." he then went out to assist in the fight that the ninja were having with Frieza's men.
...
Bardock abruptly stopped his training feeling a great burden being lifted off his shoulders. And he knew why. He smiled as he quietly though, 'Thank you Raditz. I feel better knowing that you have avenged his soul.'
...
Vegeta was enjoying himself as he made Cui look like a fool. He put him under a genjutsu making him think that he was surrounded by cockroaches. His worse fear. He had been at it for five minuets before he finally grew tired of his little joke, and removed it.
"Ah! Vegeta, what did you do to me?!" Cui screamed like a little girl.
"I placed you under a genjutsu making you see your worse fear. And now that I've grown tired of it, I'll kill you now."
"No Vegeta wait! Please don't kill me! Please!" he begged, but Vegeta wouldn't hear it. He knew him all too well. He knew that he would just attack him when his guard was down.
"Sorry Cui, but I'm no fool." and without another word, he killed him with an earth style ninjutsu. Killing him instantly, "Just be glad I decided to be merciful and kill you quickly." he then left what was left of his, rival and made his way to join Raditz and the shinobi in the battle.
...
Nappa had his hands full. Zarbon had transformed on him. Something he didn't expect. Now he was fighting for his life. All he had to do though, was find an opening in his guard. That's when he would gain the upper hand in this battle. So that's what he was doing. In order to help save the others in their fight to save the planet he'd grown to respect. And had it not've been for Ayame's words a few months back, he would've died several times during the fight. He had learned a lot from her. She was someone he now respected as a warrior, a comrade, a friend.
They finally broke apart and had a stand off, both of then were panting from using so much energy. Zarbon broke the silence between them as he spoke for the first time since before the fight. "I can't believe that a monkey like you could be able to force me into this form!" he growled.
"He, he, he. What's the matter? Someone tie a knot in your thong there ugly?" he taunted. Making Zarbon angry, which was what he wanted. If he could get him mad enough he would leave himself open at some places. Zarbon would get sloppy and that would give him just the opening he needed to win.
"I'LL KILL YOU! YOU STUPID MONKEY!" he then began to attack him wildly. Not protecting himself like he should.
'Now's my chance!' he mentally shouted as he finally went on for the kill. Using chakara, he bashed Zarbon's head in, and blasted his body with his ki, "Finally...it's over." he panted. He then saw Raditz and Vegeta fighting Frieza's men. "What!? I'm the last one to finish? I better get moving then!" and without another word, he rushed over to the fight.
...
The sun was going down as Frieza and Ayame continued to battle. She knew that the battle was nearing it's end. "Before the sun fully sets you will be dead Frieza."
"That's what you think Ayame. For you see, this is only one of my forms. Each one more powerful then the last." he pridefully declared.
"Then you should've used them a long time ago old man, because you won't get your chance. Your death is coming swiftly." (AN: If your wondering why she's calling him an old man. It's because he's way older then she is by several hundred years.)
...
"Alright dad we got all seven. Let's summon the dragon." Goku said as he placed the final ball on the ground.
"Alright then. By your name I summon you. ARISE SHENRON!" Bardock shouted. The sky went completely black and soon after came a blinding light from the dragonballs and Shenron appeared.
"I am the eternal dragon. Speak now your wish, and I will make it so." the dragon said, his voice booming across the land.
"Shenron, I wish for the freedom of Namikaze Minato from the Shinigami." Bardock said to the dragon.
"That I cannot do. For it is beyond my power." the dragon replied.
"Can you bring the Shinigami here instead so we can make a deal?" he asked.
"If that is your wish then yes." Shenron said as he granted them the wish and summoned the Shinigami, and the only one who could see him was Bardock, because of his physic ability.
"Why have I been summoned like this? I can't eat a soul in this manner of summoning." he growled.
"You were summoned here because we wish to make a deal with you." Bardock said.
"You see him?" Goku asked his father in complete surprise.
"Well, at least someone can see me, and I'll let the others see me too." he then revealed himself to them and they were in for quite a shock.
"I want to make a trade with you. On a planet far away from here there are saiyans fighting for there freedom. You can have the souls of the ones who they are fighting."
"And what do you want in return?" he asked.
"All we want is for the soul of Namikaze Minato to go free. So then he may move on to the next world."
"That's it? That's all you want?" he asked, "I'll want a vessel to get me those souls you know."
"I do and there is a willing volunteer there. Just go and see for yourself." the others watching the exchange were wondering just where this was going to go.
"Alright, I'll do it. Just give me a few seconds, and I'll pull him out of me. You'll have him for a few minuets and that's it. I'll be coming back to take him to the next world.
"I understand." Bardock said. The Shinigami did by far the most discussing thing that any of them had ever seen. It even made Bardock look a little green. So he didn't blame Yamcha when he ran to a near by bush to through up. He had reached down his own thought and pulled Minato out of his stomach.
"I'll be back to escort you to the next world Minito. And Bardock, if you're trying to deceive me, I'll come back and eat your soul." he said disappearing from there eyes.
...
"My death is coming swiftly you say? Ha! You fool, I'll be alive long after you're dead. I'm the most powerful being in the universe!" Frieza boasted.
"Shinigami! I am the willing vessel of which the father of Raditz spoke of! Use me and I will give you all the souls promised to you!" she shouted to the heavens. And she began to feel cold. She knew what it meant, and looked behind her to see him. Looking ahead to her enemy she declared, "It is time. Frieza! This is for everyone you killed! And for everyone the saiyans have killed in your name!" she then lunged forward and took the soul of the tyrant from his body.
She then made her way to the battleground, and began to give the souls of those she touched to the Shinigami. Until there was one PTO member left.
"No please don't kill me!" he begged.
"I know your type. You'll never leave this place alone if I do that." she then began to frighten him by saying 'Touch of death,' twenty times. After saying it the twentieth time she rushed him and said, "Touch of death discharged." and the man fell dead. (AN: If you play Amtgard then you just got my reference.)
The Shinigami was laughing so hard he fell to the ground clutching his sides. "I'm glad you liked it." she said smiling at her death.
"Grandmother!" Hana shouted running to her side, "How did you do that!? That was amazing!"
"No child don't touch me! If you do you'll die!" she pleaded in fear.
"What do you mean grandmother?"
"Ayame!" they turned and saw Vegeta, Raditz, and Nappa running to them. Nappa being the one who called out bring up the rear. "You were amazing! How did you do that?"
"I'm dying." she said plainly.
"WHAT!? Grandmother no! You can't! I still need you!" she cried, falling to her knees. The saiyans falling to their knees in shock as well.
"You're ready to lead the village now child. Make me proud."
"You're really dieing?" Nappa asked.
"Yes, I have no choice now. It's the price for being the vessel of the Shinigami." she said somberly, "I'm proud of you, all of you. Especially you Nappa. You did what my son could not. Please remember everything you learn here."
Nappa nodded his head in acknowledgment as he kept back the tears that threatened to leave his eyes. "Ayyyyeeee. Don't make me cry."
"Vegeta, of all the people I forgot to tell you your future. You will live a long and happy life, with your own family. Just go where Raditz plans to go. Okay? You better go too Nappa. They'll need you there too."
Vegeta was surprised by this turn of events. Here she was dieing and she tells him his future? She should be afraid for her life. Either way he nodded in acknowledgment.
"Grandmother please don't go." Hanna pleaded.
"Hana I'm an old woman, I've lived my life. Now it's time for you to live yours." she then removed the necklaces from around her neck holding the string for Hana to take. Never had she taken it off before, and she wore that symbol of leadership with a humble attitude. It was a teal talon from a bird that has long been extinct on that planet. "It is time to fulfill your destiny Hana. Make me proud."
She takes it and puts it on. "I will, goodbye grandmother." Ayame shuts her eyes and smiles as she lets death come to her.
...
"I'm back, let's go Minito." the Shinigami said.
"Keep up the good work on taking care of my son." Minato said as he handing his only son back to Goku.
"I will." Goku said as Naruto smiled and laughed, ignorant to the situation.
"I'm sorry that I can't stay Naruto. I have to go, and be your mother now." he said tickling the boy making him laugh harder.
"Hay Minito, tell Kushina I said hi." Bardock said to the Yellow Flash.
"I will. Goodby everyone. It was nice to meet you. And it was good to see you again Kakashi." he said to his student.
"Take care sensci." was all Kakashi had to say. And they they left faster then you could say Hokage.
"I'm glad to see that his spirit can move on, and no longer reside with the Shinigami." the elder Hokage said with a smile on his face.
"Me too old man... Me too." was all Bardock had to say.
...
Far away there was a young man around Kakashi's age. He too like his master wore an orange spiral mask. He was angry about what happened over a year ago. "It should've been me!" the man shouted. "I should've been the one to go after the Kuubi. I should've died, not Madara!" he was originally supposed to go out there and take the Kuubi from Kushina, and destroy Kohnaha. But Madara decided that it would be best if he did it himself. Now Uchiha Obito, lead the Akatsuki, and it was all because his master choose to do the job himself. 'I will avenge him somehow.'
...
"So, what about me then Shinigami?" Ayame asked.
"Well normally I would eat your soul. But the thing is you made me laugh harder then I've laughed in centuries. And that's because death is always a serious matter. But because you made me laugh just before I took you, I'll make an acceptation. You'll be able to move on."
"Thank you Shinigami. But before we do that, there is one final thing I need to do."
"And that is?"
We all know what happened to Piccolo. Did you catch the abridged reference? Next time, the saiyan trio say good bye to the the people, and begin their journey to a new life. What the heck is Obito gonna do for revenge? Also rumors begin to be spread and someone must make a stand. Hope you enjoyed this. Please review, and God bless you.
