The smoke slowly cleared by the sudden blow of wind, Elata was able to see her victims lying on the floor motionless. Her grin only widened with fiendish satisfactory.

The victorious villain leisurely approached her prince's body as he laid on his stomach. She smiled smugly and spoke to his subconscious body:

"You maybe the prince, Vegeta, but I'm the Queen Elata. And when I'm done with this place I'll finish you once and for all," she said loudly. Elata glanced at Goku and Piccolo and continued to speak: "I might keep the Namekian and the other Saiyan as pets. Unlike you, Vegeta, they'll live to suffer."

Unable to be satisfied completely by her victory, Elata recoiled in horror as soon as she felt a hand tightly clutching her ankle. It was Vegeta. He was lying there on his stomach, with one eye open, staring at the traitor in outrage. He was broken but he had enough energy to crush her ankle mercilessly. Elata was startled and she screamed from pain. She thought that her blast would make him drowsy, but she was most definitely wrong.

With all his might, Vegeta swung his hand, sending her flying away across the land. He took the opportunity to stand back up ignoring his sore muscles and burned skin. The headache was killing him, but he soon forgot about the pain focusing on finishing what he had started. Nothing was going to calm the prince's fury.

"Vegeta, wait," he heard Goku's faint voice calling. You can't stop me now, thought Vegeta. However, the prince was wrong because then Goku continued: "We need to beat her. She is very strong. With one energy blast she was able to defeat us, maybe we should…"

"No!" Vegeta protested, "I already have a plan. Keep punching her till I see blood, and when I do, I'll punch her some more,"

But then came Piccolo's voice, and he said:

"Goku, Vegeta is right. We can't wait for a miracle to happen; if we didn't stop her now then we'll all be in great danger."

"I know, but we can't fight like this. I don't think she's giving us all she go yet. Her blasts are deadly; her power level is clearly high. I hate to say it guys, but I don't think it's a fight we can win," Goku interpreted, but no one was convinced.

"You see, that's your problem Kakarot, you don't think. You don't realize how bad this is. I don't care how high her power level is, we have something that she doesn't," Vegeta said, while rising his ki and turning into the most purest and powerful Saiyan alive. His hair went blonde as his muscles grew larger. His eyes shifted into a bright shade of blue. Contented with the result, he flashed a smirk and focused on finishing this fight soon.

"But wait," Goku's concerned tone echoed in his voice, "We don't know how strong she is yet,"

"Well there's only one way to find out," Vegeta said as he and the Namekian flew closer to their target. Piccolo attacked first. He started charging a lot of energy in his hands, causing it to form an energy ball; he threw it straight at his opponent, but she dodged it easily, she kept her smirk on and mocked them:

"Is this the best that you can do?" Afterwards she felt a slight of confusion when Piccolo grinned. She had no idea that it was a distraction.

Suddenly, five energy rings suddenly pinned her against a mountain.

"Well that wiped the smile off your face," Piccolo commented pleasingly. She felt distress when she first saw Vegeta appear.

"Like my rings? I made them especially for you," he said sarcastically. And without a second of hesitation he threw consecutive attacks upon her. The prince kept punching like he said he would. His power increasing with every attack he laid on her body. She had no choice but to bare the pain and wait for him to get tired. The more punches he did the more fragile the mountain became until it finally broke into many pieces of rocks that landed harshly on Elata, covering every inch of her body. Vegeta waited for her to appear as the energy rings were broken. But she didn't.

He was getting impatient so he decided to lift the rocks up. As he did so, Piccolo kept watching him.

"I don't get it. Where is she?" Vegeta yelled angrily as he clutched his fists. He wasn't able to find her anywhere but his determination kept him looking. Piccolo, however, knew that he might not find her, so he elevated up in the sky trying to get a better view. He found nothing. Besides Vegeta's complaining, he wasn't able to hear anything either, as if she disappeared, vanished. He glanced down at the Super Saiyan who was still lifting rocks up and murmuring to himself.

"You won't find her. Stop looking," he said loudly to the desperate prince.

"People don't just disappear, especially if they're severely injured," Vegeta commented furiously still trying to comprehend the scene.

From far away, Goku watched the tiny floating Namekian and Saiyan fly around completely lost. He himself was wondering where she had gone. He thought to himself:

"Did she leave? So fast? But why? It's a shame that she's evil, we could have needed someone with her expanded knowledge in fighting,"

"You really think I'm that good? Well you should, after all, I am a first class Saiyan warrior," A feminine voice echoed inside his head. Goku cleared his ears thinking that it was the wind,

"That's funny I could have sworn I heard…"

"You did!"

And he heeded. It was her. It was Elata! He turned around swiftly looking for her, but she wasn't there. He looked up, left and right and even down. He failed. He clutched his fists and got ready from any sudden attack,

"If you're not out here, then this means…" he said trying to comprehend

"Yes Kakarot I'm inside your head," she said grumpily,

"What do you think you're doing? And the name is Goku!" he said with all seriousness,

"Funny, I could have sworn your name is Kakarot, I heard the 'prince of all Saiyans' call you by that name," she explained,

"You don't have to do this," Goku said getting back on the subject,

"I. Don't. Care," Elata elucidated joyfully. She enjoyed toying with the fighters.

"Show yourself so we could talk," apparently Goku wasn't going to give up on her anytime soon, but she didn't feel like talking anymore as she knew that it's almost impossible to convince her. So Elata stopped responding. "Hello?" he questioned as he expected an answer from her, but he immediately knew that she was gone. Goku looked down in disappointment and sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. He was deep in his thoughts when he felt great amount of energy getting closer and closer. The Saiyan immediately turned around only to see a ray of beam heading his way. Goku thought fast and said loudly:

"Energy barrier," and his feet were strong like mountains on the ground, as he made an x shape with his arms against his chest. Goku used his ki to create an energy shield around himself protecting him from the beam. He was able to determine where the beam came from but he found no one there. The poor man has never been more vexed in his life.

"So you make shields, let's see if you can dodge," she said and he felt her breathes caressing his ear. She was behind him. Quickly he turned around the second she clutched her fist and punched him in the stomach. Goku glanced at her as he fell down on his knees; he saw the blood dripping from her mouth, and her clothes cut and the undeniable bruises that covered her body in brilliant shades of purple and dark blue. With all that pain, stubborn Elata – who will not allow her enemies to know how much she was physically suffering her wounds - forced a smirk.

"I'll be right back," she said, right after she threw another punch that nailed him for sure. She then elevated into an aerie view and threw an energy ball at him. Just one for good luck, she thought. The female warrior was saving him for last.
