Fatal Switch

Chapter 2: A Child's Tears

I don't own DBZ/GT

Life was good. Ginyu was Admiral. Now he could enlist real warriors in his ranks instead of idiots like Recoome. It might seem cruel, but Ginyu was thankful for the orange haired man's demise. Jiece was the only Ginyu member left, aside from Ginyu himself of course. Ginyu walked into an elevator and saw his reflection on the back mirror. A Saiyan. Goku. Ginyu had killed many, and had stolen bodies before, but this last one just left a bad feeling in the back of his mind. Goku knew. Goku knew Ginyu's big secret.

"Hey buddy, what floor already?" an alien man asked impatiently.

"Watch your tongue, runt," Ginyu replied sharply. "I'm an Admiral for Lord Frieza, and you will show me respect," Ginyu ordered while bringing the alien's attention to the medals on Ginyu's armor.
"Please forgive me," the alien replied in terror, bowing in submission.

Ginyu stepped onto his floor and headed for his apartment. He turned and unlocked his door with a key card swipe.
"Please enter, Admiral Ginyu," a computer said, the door sliding open with a fwoosh.
Ginyu marched in and found a beautiful alien woman looking up.
"Excuse me, what are you doing in here?" she demanded.
"It's me, Cali, John," Ginyu answered. "I stole someone's body again"
"Oh I knew you'd have trouble!" the woman cried, wrapping her dainty arms around Ginyu's Saiyan physique.
"Don't worry about it honey," Ginyu tried to calm his wife. "I've got good news: I'm now an Admiral"
"Oh that's wonderful," Cali exclaimed, looking up with her violet eyes into Ginyu's eyes. "Your new body's not too bad looking either"
"It's still nothing compared to you," Ginyu replied, looking over his well-missed wife.
Cali had shining orange skin, long slender legs, curly red hair and cute features. Ginyu had met her on a mission way back and the two instantly fell in love. Back then, Ginyu had a different body, not even his purple horned form, but it was his personality that Cali loved so much. Ginyu playfully slapped Cali's butt, earning a giggle.
"You should get dressed and we can go out," Ginyu said.
"I'll be right out," Cali winked.

Several days later, Ginyu sat in a mission briefing from Frieza. While Frieza was indeed pleased with Ginyu's success at capturing the dragonballs, Frieza had yet discovered how to make them work. So, Frieza's wish for immortality was still just out of reach, but Ginyu was rather happy about that. Frieza was a decent boss if you did what he wanted, but Ginyu just didn't like the idea of an immortal master.
"Admiral!" Frieza called Ginyu to attention. Ginyu turned, while all of the other commanders turned to see the Admiral. "Please begin with the briefing"
Ginyu stood and began speaking to the assembly. "As you all know, Cooler has been growing more bold as of late. His forces have been slowly infiltrating Lord Frieza's domain, and this cannot be tolerated. Though we want to keep a peaceful relationship with Cooler, his forces must be dealt with, quietly if possible. We will launch several stealth units..."

Ginyu's briefing went on for some time, and now he stood on the bridge of Frieza's own flagship.
"Admiral, Lord Frieza requests your presence," a small alien told Ginyu.

Ginyu approached Frieza's quarters, where two powerful guards, Frieza's replacements for Dodoria and Zarbon, stood. They stepped to the side and let Ginyu through.
"Good, Admiral, I've been expecting you," Frieza spoke. He stood near a glass container with a small prisoner inside. It was a Namek child. "This prisoner of mine is being quite stubborn about my dragonballs. We torture and torture, but he's tough for his size. I was hoping you could assist me"
"Anything you command, but I can't imagine you need help," Ginyu said respectively.
"You see that little green orb?" Frieza pointed threw a glass door to a bright green dot amongst the stars.
"Yes, sir"
"I'm sure you remember planet Namek." Ginyu nodded. "I want you destroy it if my prisoner doesn't cough up his info"
"Yes, sir," Ginyu replied. The door opened, the outer shield protecting them all from space. Though Frieza could survive, no one else could. Ginyu aimed his arm at the planet and waited for Frieza's word. Ginyu felt sweat on his brow. Panic. What was wrong with him? He'd never hesitated before.
"You know you can't do it. Trust your heart. Even with all of the things you've done, you know Frieza is evil. You can't afford to serve him"
"What!" Ginyu yelled at the voice in his head. Frieza turned and glared suspiciously.
"Is there a problem, Admiral?" Frieza questioned.
"Not at all, Lord Frieza," Ginyu replied anxiously. He didn't want the kid to fess up. He didn't want Frieza to be invincible.
"Lord Frieza! We need to go to our battle stations! Cooler's forces have spotted us!" a voice over a speaker exclaimed.
"Damn my brother! Come Ginyu, we must take care of things before we treat our pet," Frieza ordered. Without looking back, Frieza trudged off angrily towards the command bridge. Ginyu began to walk forward, but turned to the Namek. He'd seen him before, healing the Earthlings he had battled. Something in Ginyu told him he needed to free that Namek. He broke the glass without hesitation and grabbed the Namek into one of his arms. The child stared in confusion, and yelled when Ginyu fired a blast to destroy the wall. The auto shielding kept everything inside the ship inside, but the noise brought in the two guards.
"What happened, Admiral?" one of them asked. Ginyu turned and lied.
"We were hit from the outside. Someone must know this is Lord Frieza's chambers!" Ginyu exclaimed. The second guard noticed the Namek in Ginyu's arm.
"Isn't that Frieza's prisoner?" he asked.
"Yes, and I rescued him to preserve the precious data Frieza wants," Ginyu lied. "Now get out of the way so I can go help Lord Frieza"
"Right away sir!" the two guards yelled, jumping out of the way of Ginyu.

Ginyu ran to an escape pod and pushed the Namek into it.
"I can't promise you'll survive, but this is better then torture and Frieza's wish coming true," Ginyu spoke to the Namek. The child stared with tears running down his cheek.
"Thank you, Saiyan," the Namek spoke. The door then locked and the escape pod was blasted out back towards Namek.
Saiyan? Saiyan? That was the second time. True, Ginyu now had the body of a Saiyan, but why? And what just happened? Ginyu knowingly defied Frieza! If Frieza found out!
"No! I won't even think about it!" Ginyu yelled. He then ran off towards the bridge.
