Chapter 16 - Kassava/Been (same day)

Kassava

We got the senzu beans and my mom has finally met Kami. She was really grateful that I was able to train with King Kai and come back alive to Earth. We are really grateful for the senzu beans too. Gabriel will be healed in no time!

"Hello? Earth to Kassava! Can you hear me?" I hear King Kai's voice in my head, I think, and he sounds like he is really panicking right now. Am I hearing voices it is just me?

"Kassava, this is actually me, King Kai, talking to you in your head!" King Kai continues.

"King Kai?" I ask loudly. My mom, Krillin, Bulma, and Master Roshi all look at me.

"You got to meet King Kai too? I have that same ability. I'm able to talk to him while he is talking to me inside my head," Krillin says.

"Yes, now listen very carefully! This is an emergency! In two years, Frieza wants to kill all the Saiyans on Planet Vegeta! He fears that a Super Saiyan will emerge and destroy him and that is why he wants to eradicate all the Saiyans! But listen, Kassava, I am commanding you and you cannot go against my order. I'm ordering you... not to go near Frieza, you better promise me! He is too powerful for all of you on this helicopter!" King Kai explains to me. What I just heard made me really sad and angry at the same time. I never liked Frieza, but I never knew he would do something so cold and heartless. I know the Saiyans are just like him, but they are still the people from my race and I will help them. Plus, I can do this for the whole universe, not just the Saiyans. The whole universe can be free from Frieza's tyranny.

"I'm sorry, King Kai, but I'm going to do it," I reply.

"No, you will not! I'm going to keep telling you this over and over again!"

"I'm going to do it whether you like it or not!" I say angrily. Great, now I'm getting really angry and my anger management issues are coming back. It was so bad that one time, I got fired from my job for angrily arguing with my former boss since she said really offensive things towards one of my former co-workers one day when my former co-worker didn't even do anything at all. Someone had to take a stand to end all of this, so I had defended my former co-worker.

"I said no, Kassava!"

"What happened, Kassava?" My mom asks me with a look of concern. She then puts her hand on my shoulder.

After I told my mom and everyone else what King Kai had said, she looks at me and she says, "I agree with King Kai. You are not going over there and also, why do you want to help those heartless and cold people anyways? They did nothing, but lie to us and they also brought us into the wrong path in life. We shouldn't even be helping them. They really deserve what is coming to them."

No, not her too! I think very carefully about what she said. I try to cool off and then I tell her with reason, "I know that, Mother, I am very aware and I am also really mad at them for that, but they are our people and also, you will never know what will happen after that. Frieza can possibly rule the entire universe and kill innocent people whenever he pleases. Remember when you told me that I should be the best person I can be?"

"No, Kassava! Listen to your mother!" King Kai yells in my head.

My mom sits there in silence for about ten seconds and then she says, "You know what, Kassava? You are right about the whole universe being possibly under the hands of Frieza. I'm not going to do it for the Saiyans except for you. I'm going to do it for the other people in the universe. To end tyranny once and for all."

Been

Kassava was a bit like me when I was younger. Bold and confident and ill-tempered too. I laugh a little to myself at the last word. We are both two angry Saiyan women. But however, she isn't full of pride like I was back then. She is really humble and she never likes to brag about anything including her background as a Saiyan.

"What's so funny, Mother?" Kassava asks me.

"It's nothing, really. I was just thinking that you were a little like me when I was younger. You are bold and confident, just like I was when I was younger and we are also two angry Saiyan women," I explain to Kassava. I wonder what is going on in Krillin, Master Roshi, and Bulma's heads. I wonder what they think of all this.

Kassava laughs a little too, "Now I know where I got my personality from."

Kassava then has the look on her face like she is focusing on something. It must be King Kai telling her something.

"No, King Kai, we are going to do it. My mother and I will work as a team," I hear Kassava say. King Kai is still probably telling her no.

Kassava stays silent again for not too long and then she laughs, "Prince Vegeta is going to fight him too? And Bardock and Kakarot too? I've heard those names be - Wait! Isn't that Raditz' father and brother?"

Wait, they are going to be there too?

Kassava then tells me, "King Kai keeps telling me no and he also told me that three other Saiyans are going to fight Frieza. He is telling us that they can take care of it, but I believe that it takes more than three people to defeat Frieza."

"We need a lot of help even if we were to train for two years for this," I reply. Frieza's power level, I heard, is somewhere around 530,000 and we have only a tiny, tiny fraction of that power level each. Well, I'm not sure what Vegeta, Bardock, and Kakarot's power levels are as of now. It could have changed a lot and I really do hope that we can have enough power to defeat Frieza.

"I agree," Kassava says back. Then, she has a half-grin on her face and she whispers in a very low tone, laughing softly, "How do I turn off King Kai's voice off?"

"Oh, I don't know how to do that," Krillin whispers back and then he laughs, "He must be giving you a really hard time."

"Just try tuning out his voice and talk directly to us as well as think about something else," I suggest, laughing.

"Okay, I will definitely do that," Kassava whispers back.

"Man, I never knew you guys were from another planet. How come you didn't tell us?" Krillin asks us.

"It's actually supposed to be a secret from the rest of the world, but please don't tell anyone," Kassava replies.

"Of course, you have our word," Master Roshi says.

"Of course. We won't tell anyone," Krillin says.

"I wish for you guys the best of luck in defeating this Frieza monster," Bulma says to us.

"Thank you, you too," Kassava says. Wait, did she just say 'you too'? I make that same mistake too and I get a little embarrassed, but at the same time, it is really funny.

"Oh wait, I didn't mean to say 'you too'," Kassava continues, lightly hitting her forehead.

"It's fine. It happens to all of us," Bulma says, smiling.

"Yeah, it happens to all of us," I say smiling too.
