Touch of Blue and Red DBZ: Chapter 5; Namek pt 4.
}i{ }i{
When Burter in the tank, he dreamed. He dreamed about having Jeice in his lap and their little baby in the Red Magma's arms, asleep and bundled up in a layer of blankets. It was such a pleasant dream, it was almost depressing when Burter woke up. But he knew that needed to get up so he could tell his chosen mate that he was fine, that everything was fine.
}i{ }i{
The Azure Hurricane got out of the tank and looked around the room for Jeice, but he didn't see him. In fact, all the only thing that the Azure Hurricane could find that belonged to Jeice was his scouter, which was in pieces. Odd, Burter figured that his mate would have been here waiting for him to finish healing. A beep sounded and Goku came out of the other tank. He greeted the Ginyu cheerfully. Burter just stared at the Saiya-jin. Strange, wasn't Captain Ginyu suppose to be in that body. Wait a minute... THE SAIYA-JIN WAS BACK IN HIS BODY!? Burter quickly got into a fighting stance. That was when Burter felt like his heart was being pulled in in five different directions.
Burter felt that he needed to find Jeice, NOW. There were no working scouters present, so he raced passed Goku and looked all over the ship for his mate. The only living things on the ship was him and the Saiya-jin. Now the Azure Hurricane was in panic mode. Goku popped up in front of Burter and told him to calm down. "Calm down? CALM DOWN? HOW CAN I CALM DOWN WHEN MY DANGER SENSE IS ACTING UP LIKE THIS?! SOMETHING REALLY BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN, SO I NEED TO FIND JEICE, NOW!" Burter hollered, his Danger Sense was really going haywire, it's never acted up THIS badly.
Goku made a mental note to ask about this Danger Sense later. The Saiya-jin sensed out his friends' ki, maybe Jeice was with them. After a few seconds, he found them. Krillin, Gohan, Vegeta, Jeice, and two kis that he didn't recognized were a bit off from were they were right now, but he also could sense a huge evil ki with them. Not good. "I can sense where they are. We should head over to them now," Goku stated
Right now, Burter didn't care that the Saiya-jin could somehow sense kis without a scouter, he just wanted to get to his mate asap. "Then take me there, I need to find my Chosen," Burter said sternly, but he knew that he had to keep up his guard. There could be a chance that Goku could be lying. The two left the ship and flew in the direction were Goku could sense the kis.
}i{ }i{
It didn't take long for the two warriors to reach the kis, but what the Saiya-jin and the Azure Hurricane got there the sight was unsettling, more for Burter then Goku. The Azure Hurricane's heart completely stopped and sank to his stomach when he saw that scene, he actually had to blink a few time just to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
Frieza, in his final form, was holding Jeice by the throat very tightly and the Ginyu wasn't moving at all. Goku couldn't sense Jeice's ki at all, he could still sense the baby's ki, but even that was fading.
As if Burter couldn't feel any worse, he heard Frieza say "Guess that's all for this piece of Ginyu trash," before he toss the Red Magma to the side and turn completely towards Vegeta.
}i{ }i{
Everything was moving very slow. Then again, Burter wasn't paying attention to his surroundings, all he was focused on was his mate. Getting to him before he hit the ground, so he was moving at his max speed towards him.
Burter caught him with ease. One arm under his mate's knees and the other behind his shoulders. Jeice's broken arm was dangling while his other arm rested on his stomach, his head was resting on the other Ginyu's pectoral. Burter came to a halt near a relatively big boulder, he heard Goku land on top of the boulder. The Azure Hurricane didn't care if the Saiya-jin was faster than him, it didn't matter right now.
}i{ }i{
Goku jumped down from the boulder, landing next to Burter. "A-about f-fucking t-time Kakarrot," Vegeta managed to cough out. "Kakorrot?! That's a Saiya-jin name!" Frieza exclaimed. Burter was glaring at the tyrant, his anger was evident. He needed answers, after all the tyrant just killed his mate and child. As he glared at Frieza, Burter stated rather then asked "After all of those years of loyal service, becoming your elite fighting force, and taking over all of those planets in your honor, we were simply trash to you." "So, you heard that," was all Frieza said, not really caring about the soldier before him. Burter clutched Jeice's limp body closer. There was now no way Frieza was getting off that easily.
"Burter, it be best if you just leave him to me," Goku stated. Everyone was dumbfounded, that was when Goku said "I don't want anymore deaths to occur because of this monster." Burter then looked down to the figure in his arms. The next thing anyone knew, Goku sent Frieza flying with a punch to the face. "That was for the baby," Goku stated before flying off after the tyrant.
A young Namekian came out from his hiding place and started to heal the older Namekian, and the Earthlings. Vegeta hobbled over to the group and stated "That damn Kakorrot really came at the last second." Burter didn't really pay much attention to what was happening around him, all he was focused on was his Chosen.
}i{ }i{
During the entire time he was staring at his mate's battered face, Burter remembered every memorable moment he's had with Jeice.
Their first meeting. Their first successful combination move. Joining the Ginyu Force. Them kissing each other passionately. Their first argument, which caused the two to not talk to each other for a few day before they finally forgave eachother. Them having to share a space pod on a trip back to Frieza 79, after one of their pods got destroyed. The two of them bonding (or in Earthling terms, getting married) to one another. Them having some passionate sex in their room with no interruptions, the Red Magma writhing on pleasure under the Azure Hurricane's touch. Jeice telling Burter that he was carrying their child. Them preparing for the arrival of their baby; ordering the cradle, looking for baby cloths, and thinking about potential names.
The Azure Hurricane positioned his mate's head so that it was now tucked under his chin, just the way the Red Magma loved it. Tears forced their way down Burter's cheeks as he sank to his knees, clutching his mate close to him. He had nothing left... The Ginyu Force, his life mate, and his child... They were all gone...all gone... How could he go on? There was nothing left for him. The pain in Burter's heart was soooo unbearable and it wasn't because of his Danger Sense. Goku was right, Frieza really did have no qualms about ending the life of a carrier and an unborn. How could he have been so naive? How could all of the Ginyu Force be so naive? They all saw small indicators that the tyrant had no heart, but they chose to not believe them...
After who knows how long, Burter finally noticed that the battered Vegeta was staring at him. "If you want to kill me, go ahead. There's nothing left for me," Burter said solemnly as he buried his chin in Jeice's fluffy white hair. "Ch. If you're going to give up that easily, then you're not even worth the kill," Vegeta scoffed as he turned away from the Azure Hurricane.
When that happened, Dende finished healing all of the Earthlings (Piccolo is included in this group). The young Namekian looked over at the two Ginyus. He wasn't too sure what to think of them. After all, the red one saved him from being killed by that evil alien, Frieza, and the blue one seemed generally distraught over the the lose of his mate and egg, but the two were wearing the same uniforms that Frieza and his men were wearing. Where they bad aliens or not? Dende wasn't sure.
}i{ }i{
Frieza has never been this bruised in his life! Not even his father battered him THIS badly! This Saiya-jin was certainly not holding back anything, rage included. The tyrant couldn't understand why this Saiya-jin was so enraged, or why he was so strong. Maybe he it was because he was as cold-hearted as a monster could be or maybe it was because he saw no reason for the Saiya-jin to get mad.
Though Frieza was holding his own with the Saiya-jin, he was loosing his patients, fast. And when Frieza looses his patients, that's never good.
}i{ }i{
"Can I ask a question?" Burter asked as he gently laid his mate's body on the ground, doing his best to make Jeice look like he was just sleeping. Vegeta snipped back, as Dende was healing him, "You just did." Burter scowled and just asked "Why did Frieza kill Jeice?"
The Krillin, Gohan, Piccolo, and Vegeta looked at each other for a minute or so. They might as well tell the Azure Hurricane, so they told him what Frieza said about the Ginyu Force and about the tyrant claiming to have killed someone named Chiiz, causing Jeice to attack the tyrant in a fit of rage. Dende commented that Jeice seemed really, really mad when the evil alien said that. The Earthlings and Vegeta noted that the look on Burter's face seemed to be a good mix between the "Deer in Headlights" look, the "What the fuck?!" look, and the "I Can't Believe What I'm Hearing" look. "Frieza killed Chiiz?! It wasn't a relapse?" Burter asked in utter shocked. Krillin was the one to say "No offense, but we don't know who this Chiiz is or what happened to that person. We didn't really know what Frieza was talking about, all we know is that he said it." Burter muttered a "right" and then added as he brushed some of Jeice's hair out of his face "No wonder you were so enraged..." Krillin, Gohan, Piccolo, and Vegeta looked at each other in confusion. Was this Chiiz person THAT important to Jeice?
}i{ }i{
The battle between Goku and Frieza continued. Dust, sweat, and blood covered the two. Neither were either winning an edge or losing an edge.
}i{ }i{
Dende had completely healed everyone. Now the warriors were physically ready to fight. Only physically ready, but they would do what they can to help Goku when he needed. Okay, Vegeta wasn't really willing to help him, but in order to defeat the tyrant the Saiya-jin prince NEEDED to collaborated with the Earthlings. The only one who wasn't sure what to do was Burter.
The Ginyu wasn't sure if he could take on Frieza, his now ex-boss, but he wanted revenge for Jeice and their baby. Burter was fine with dying, he had nothing left, but he didn't want to die in vain. The former Ginyu cringed a bit, how could he be so hesitant about this? Buter glanced up at the body of his love, that was when he noticed that the Namekian child by Jeice's side.
"The egg is still alive, and I think there's a small chance that we can save that egg," Dende said as he placed a hand on Jeice's stomach. 'Egg?' Burter thought before he understood what the Namekian child meant. Namekians must be a species that lays eggs, like Burter's species. "The child's only half-way developed and Brench-seijins give live birth, they don't lay eggs," Burter solemnly told the child. Dende looked a the former Ginyu and said "But I can sense the shell of an egg around that child... Did you hatch from an egg?" Burter nodded, then it hit him. The child was half him! There was a good chance that the child WOULD hatch out of an egg! Wait a minute, why did... Never mind, Burter didn't want to think of it.
"Do you really think my kid can be saved?" Burter asked the little Namekian. Dende nodded.
Vegeta shouted at Burter to get off his ass and be ready for a fight. Burter got to his feet. If there was a chance that he could have his child, he'll take it.
}i{ }i{
*Much of what happens next is near identical to the manga/anime. The fight between Frieza and Goku and the preparations for the Spirit Bomb. I didn't want to write that sequence in this story, it'll take up half the chapter, so watch or read that fight and just stop at the point where Piccolo jumps in to delay Frieza while Goku is collecting ki for the Spirit Bomb. That's were the similarities ends.*
Piccolo, Vegeta, and Burter were currently attacking Frieza in order to buy time for Goku to finish the Spirit Bomb. Burter had no idea what that was, all he knew was to keep the tyrant busy until it was done.
}i{ }i{
Gohan stared at the blue egg with some red highlights. 'How was that in Jeice-san without him showing it?' the half Saiya-jin couldn't help but wonder. The egg was a bit bigger than the size of Krillin's head. The older Earthling really didn't want to know how Jiece did not show that an egg THAT size was in him. Dende was the only one who thought it was normal.
Yes, Dende managed to get the egg out of the dead Ginyu, and he did confirm that the child inside was still alive. Burter was happy to learn that his child was alive, so he was more willing to fight Frieza. Gohan took off his battle armor and placed it on the egg, to keep it warm. Krillin could see the Spirit Bomb heading towards the planet, in the direction were Piccolo, Vegeta, and Burter went.
"Dende, could you stay here?" Krillin asked the young Namekian, who in turn nodded and asked why. Krillin stated that he was going to head over to the battlefield to see if their friends, and Burter and Vegeta are ok. Gohan insisted on going too. Dende stated that he'll be fine here, plus he wanted to keep the egg safe. With that the two Earthlings flew off.
}i{ }i{
The Spirit Bomb it Frieza dead on, Pardon the pun, as it fell to the planet's surface. Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta, and the ex-Ginyu were well out of the blast range. Burter couldn't believe the size and power of that attack.
All four were standing on a small island, just staring at the results of the Spirit Bomb, which just so happens to be a giant crater in the water. 'He's gone, Jeice, my love... You've been avenged...' Burter thought looking up at the sky, and noticing two dots flying right towards them. It was the two smaller Earthlings.
Krillin and Gohan landed in front of them asking if everything was over. "Goku smiled and said "Yeah, it's over." He, Piccolo, Vegeta, and Burter were exhausted. The ex-Ginyu was glad to hear that his egg was fine. Burter then muttered "At least I still have my kid..." "Oi, Burter..." Goku suddenly said, which in turned caused the blue man to turn his head to the Earth-raised Saiya-jin. "How's about living on Earth with your kid," Goku asked with a smile. Burter blinked a bit and then finally said with a shrug "Why not. It's not like I have anywhere else to go."
That was when Krillin suddenly shouted that they forgot about Bulma, whoever that was, Burter noted. Goku told his friend not to do shout like that because it sounded like Frieza was still alive. The others laughed a bit at that.
Burter suddenly stopped laughing. It felt like both his heart and stomach suddenly disappeared from his body. Gohan noticed this and asked "Burter-san, are you okay?" The giant blue man muttered something along the lines of questioning why his Danger Sense was acting up. Burter suddenly spun around to finally see why his Danger Sense was activated.
On top of a nearby boulder was a very battered Frieza.
}i{ }i{
HOW THE HELL DID THAT MONSTER SURVIVE THAT?! Were the words that raced through Burter's head as he witnessed Frieza pierce a small hole through Vegeta and Piccolo's chest (both are still alive btw), his own leg, and blew Krillin into tiny pieces. The tyrant was laughing through the whole thing, which in turn caused Goku to go BEYOND enraged.
The Saiya-jin's ki practically exploded into a golden yellow! His jet black hair started to turn the color yellow and his black eyes turned light green! Burter and Gohan couldn't believe their eyes!
Super Saiya-jin! Goku transformed into a Super Saiya-jin! 'I-It's just like those legends!' Burter thought as he watched the yellow ki flowed over Goku.
The Super Saiya-jin told Gohan and Burter to take Piccolo and Vegeta away from the battlefield, now!
Gohan grabbed ahold of the Namekian and Burter tossed Vegeta over his shoulder. The blue man had to float because he couldn't stand on his injured leg. Both flew off in the direction of the young Namekian.
Frieza was about to blast the two, but Goku got in the way. "Your fight's with me," the Super Saiya-jin stated coldly.
}i{ }i{
Denda noted that the egg was doing well. The young Namekian wondered how his new friends are doing.
There was suddenly a blinding light that covered everything, leaving no shadows at all. After a good five minutes of blinding light, it slowly faded. "What was that?" Dende asked to no one particular. The young Namekian could sense the egg's ki, almost as if it was trying to answer Dende in some way. The little Namekian placed a hand on the egg and said "It's all right, it didn't seem to do anything."
That was when he sensed four kis heading his way, two of them were really weak. Within two minutes, Gohan and Burter flew down with the injured Piccolo and Vegeta. Dende quickly healed the olde Namekian. Burter tried to land, but the pain in his injured leg didn't make it easy and the moving ground didn't help one bit. Wait, moving ground? The group felt the planet quake, this time harder. Gohan managed to catch Burter's egg before it could roll away, which the giant was thankful for. What was happening?
Suddenly the sky went dark. And the three saw the pillar of light and the giant green dragon appear out of nowhere nearby.
Then an elderly voice echoed through the three's heads. "Dende, and who ever is near him. Please, take the child to Porunga and ask him to teleport everyone but the one called Frieza to planet Earth, the tyrant will destroy our planet in a few minutes!" the voice requested. Dende said out loud that it was the Grand Elder. Then a new voice cut in, it was Goku! "No, make the wish that everyone but me and Frieza be transported to Earth." Gohan didn't like that, not at all, he gripped the egg close to his chest. But Goku explained that he needed to keep Frieza on this planet so he won't escape. With a heavy heart, Gohan understood. The Azure Hurricane hadn't said anything at this point, but he heard everything.
Burter knew what he had to do. He picked up the Namekian child, held him carefully in his arms, and flew at max speed towards the pillar of light, towards the green dragon. Gohan was relatively surprised by Burter's actions. The boy heard a groan. It wasn't Piccolo or Vegeta, so who? That's when it hit the boy, the Earth Dragon Balls! Of coarse! They were used to revive everyone who died because of Frieza and his men! This included Jeice!
The Red Magma groggily sat himself up. The first thing he noticed was that empty feeling inside. His green eyes bulged. 'NONONONO!' Was all Jeice could think as a hand flew to his stomach. The baby was gone! "Jeice-san! You baby's fin. It's right here," the Red Magma heard Gohan say. His green eyes fell on the boy, and the egg he was holding. Jeice didn't know how or even cared how, but he knew that egg WAS his child. Gohan handed Jeice the egg, the ex-Ginyu in turn hugged the egg close. Gohan heard Jeice mutter "Thanks Gohan." the boy smiled.
}i{ }i{
Burter let Dende fly the rest of the length towards the dragon, which was a good hop, skip, and jump away.
"Speak now ye final wish," the towering green dragon stated. By the end of that sentence Dende was standing in front of it.
Burter managed to see Frieza coming from the corner of his eyes. He knew he had to stop the tyrant!
But it was too late, Frieza shouted the words "Grant me eternal youth!" Goku flew to the area. Nooooooo!
Porunga made no notion that he heard the tyrant.
Dende spoke to the dragon in an unknown tongue. "I hear ye. I shall transport all but the ones called Goku and Frieza to planet Earth," the dragon spoke. Burter finally got it! The wishes must be spoken in the planet's native tongue. That was a close one.
Frieza was throwing a fit, so to speak. He could have sworn he killed that Namekian. The Tyrant threw a ki blast at Dende, but the young Namekian vanished and a few seconds later so did Burter.
