Bardock Reborn

Background: Ryanna is a human that has lived at Capsule Corps since the reincarnation of Buu. Since she has been an assistant of Bulma Briefs she has figured out the secret of the Saiyans and the mysteries of the Cell games and the Z fighters past. What she doesn't know is that she would become more involved than she originally planned.

Chapter 15: Execute Plan Frost!

Ryanna fidgeted in the pod her stomach curling and her eyes shutting tight. She hoped Bardock was alright. She could feel his confusion, and fear, and wondered what the people on Kanassa had done to him that could cause such abnormal brain waves. Whatever the case may be, the plan was already set in motion. She was to get on Frieza's ship, find Vegeta and any other Saiyans aboard, and have them evacuated immediately.

Once that was done she had to alert that the escaped Saiyans were going to Planet Mete to warn Bardock's men. That should be enough to get Frieza, or at least a good portion of his men down on the planet for the plan. She just hoped Tora and his crew were prepared.

"Incoming pod, identify yourself."

She looked up at the circular ship and swallowed hard. Fear wrenched in her guy. It was now or never. "It's Ryanna, from Planet Vegeta. I'm here upon Frieza's request."

"Yes, Ryanna, Lord Frieza has been expecting you. Please make your boarding preparations."

"Commencing boarding sequence now," She pressed a series of buttons on her panel. Her hand paused on the panel when a sudden vision pops into her mind. Bardock must have woken up, for she could see him running across the metal planes of a hallway. Not wanting to be distracted she shook the image off and pressed the last sequence before leaning back and waiting for her pod to get sucked into Frieza's. The wide top hatch closed after she was in.

Her pod door opened and she was greeted by Zarbon. "Welcome, Ryanna. Lord Frieza has been expecting you. Please follow me." He led her down the winding hallway, and a familiar voice hit her ears, catching her attention. "Look, boy, if you're going to come with then you're going to have to follow some rules."

She must be going out of her mind. She could have sworn that little squeak of a voice was Vegeta. Her eyes narrow and she see a young Vegeta walking out of a room with a large Saiyan male, and Radditz at his tail.

"I never agreed to be a…" Radditz cut off his argument to match stares with Ryanna. He rushed forward ignoring the disproving looks from his comrades behind him "Ryanna what are you doing here?"

"Lord Frieza summoned me for some reason. Not to worry I'm sure it's just more persuasion."

"Radditz, come here!" Vegeta snapped the order like a king on his high horse. Radditz grumbled and helps up a hand.

"Give me a minute would yah?"

"Stop flirting with the help and get over here now!"

"The help!"

"Flirting?" Both Radditz and Ryanna screamed at him with matching glares. Then both looked at each other with blushes.

"She isn't the help and I'm not flirting. This is my father's ma-"

"I don't care who she is, she's butting into my time. We need to get ready for our assignment."

"Ryanna, we must hurry, you'll have time to converse with the young Saiyan later. Lord Frieza is your top priority right now." Zarbon calmly explained trying to hide the sheer amusement on his face and failing miserably.

"Right, forgive me." She bows and runs a hand over Radditz hair. "I'll find you later and explain. In the meantime go with your friends." She hurries behind Zarbon and waves back. "Bye, Veggie."

"What the… Veggie?" Vegeta snarled, blushing a little. "Stupid woman."

Ryanna's heart began to race when she entered the control room. Frieza stood in the center of the room marveling the wide empty space in front of him. His tail slid across the ground and lifted up and gently beat the ground in a sign of anxiousness.

"Lord Frieza, Ryanna from Planet Vegeta is here to see you."

"Thank you Zarbon, leave us." Frieza slowly turned towards her. "Go see to the new preparations."

"Of course," Zarbon bowed and exited. The door shut with a whoosh behind him. Ryanna didn't speak, nor did she move from her place. She and Frieza stood across each other, staring down.

"I'm so pleased you could take time your of your busy schedule to see me."

"I'm never too busy to see you, Lord Frieza." She bows her head. "I'd have to be on my death bed not to see you."

Frieza snickered a little at the thought. "Indeed, well then shall we get down to business?"

"Business, My Lord it's been nothing but business since I stepped through this door. I know precisely what you want me for, and I meant what I said when I needed to think on it." She fisted her hands behind her back. "Any other person in my position would jump at the chance to be caught in your appraisal. Most of your men die trying to earn it."

Frieza smirked when she continued to speak. She really was a much bolder creature than she had let on. "You really are a fascinating woman, Ryanna."

"Yes, most in my position would be cowering at your feet, bowing in show of respect. I did so the first couple of times we met, but I don't plan to anymore. With all due respect, Lord Frieza, I don't much care for bowing to anyone."

"You've grown some balls in the past few weeks in my absence. I have to wonder what brought on this change." He paced in front of her now taking his time examining her.

"I've had ups and downs in my life, Lord Frieza. In my field of study and as a woman. Hell, I almost gave up trying to find anything other than scientific studies to keep me company at night. No man in his right mind would find a woman like me desirable, or intriguing. Most men would find me dull, obsessed with work, and simply unsuitable."

At the change of tact Frieza stopped his walking and stared her down again.

"I was very wrong." She smiled warmly. "Or should I say my calculations were off on that subject. Someone does find me desirable, fascinating, and dare I say that he has more than affection in his heart." She didn't wait for Frieza to chuckle, she wouldn't dare let him. "Science is no longer the most important thing in my life. I've found another, and I'm determined to keep it safe."

"This man," Frieza interrupted before she could continue any farther. "You speak of the young Saiyan warrior, Bardock." Frieza laughed outright now. "You really are a Saiyan. Such a stupid and foolish monkey. Love isn't in the vocabulary of men. I doubt he thinks of you little more than a good bed mate."

"You're wrong, and I mean to prove it to you, if I wasn't certain you'd be dead soon."

"What?" Frieza snarled suddenly. "What did you say."

"I didn't come here to discuss business Frieza. Ic ame as a messenger. We the Saiyans have decided we don't care to be your dogs. We're no longer going to be your fetch puppies. In fact, were determined to take you down."

Frieza composed himself a moment. "Bold words from a monkey woman." Frieza walked to the panel. "I thnk you should redeem your statement."

"No, I won't."

"Oh, but you will. After all, your lover and his companions are walking smoothly into my trap." Frieza sneered and pushed a button. The panels come down and a video screen replaces them. The sounds of fighting came through the smoke. Someone was losing badly. Blood splattered off screen. "Change angles, I want her to see for herself the power of my forces." Frieza snickered The camera bleeped a few places, but what Frieza saw just made Ryanna smile. Instead of the blood bath of Bardock's crew the corpses of his elites began to pile on top of each other. The smoke around them cleared and Tora and Fasha stood in front of the big group of Saiyans.

It was working, their plan was working!

"What is this?" Frieza demanded. "Where is Dodoria?"

"How can this be? I'm second only to Frieza himself! I'm next to invincible!" Dodoria stammered on screen his wounds high as he struggled not to bow before the Saiyan army in front of him. "No group of monkeys can beat me! Not without the full moon!"

"It's over Frieza. The Saiyans have smartened up. We're not the dumb monkeys you believed us to be." Ryanna crossed her arms sliding something secretly out of her glove. Frieza growled and blasted the control panel. He whirled on her.

"You're going to pay for your disobedience." Frieza, all cool composure gone, launched her way. Ryanna expected the fist, but didn't expect her reaction. She grabbed the fist darting to the side. Shock registered on both their faces. She had actually blocked him! Twisting his fist she flung him against the control panel. The pilots jumped and scattered out of the room.

"Get back here you cowards!" Frieza crawled from the panel and hissed at her. "As for you, say goodbye!"

The bomb in her hand flashed. The sign of wailing from Frieza a good indication that her escape would be covered. She practically flew through the halls her senses searching for Radditz and his little band. Three energies bunched together caught her and she pushed the button that led into the room. Three heads lifted up at her entrance. "Prince Vegeta and Company, your flight to freedom awaits." She smirks. "Let's go."

~In space~

"We're lost communications on Frieza's ship. Seems the plan has been put into order. Let's hope Ryanna can get herself and the others off the ship before Frieza kills everything in sight." King Vegeta said with a grave expression on his face. The small fleet ship he and his men were using was little more than a cargo ship, but it deemed the worthy purpose of transporting himself and more troops down to Planet Mete for the battle. According to the last transmission from Tora things had gone smoothly with the dispensing of Dodoria and his men. They had the ugly pink freak on his hands and knees within an hour.

That news had brought a warming smile to Bardock's face. Things were looking up for the Saiyans. Once and for all the proud Saiyan race would be free of the tyrant Frieza. Planet Mete welcomed them like a warm sunset. Even now Bardock could feel the clashing powers of his crew, and the warriors sent as backup.

The first battle had been won, and it was now time for the full out war to break out. Frieza vs. the entire Saiyan race would be the fight of the century. Casualties were inevitable, but every person was willing to die for their freedom.

"Ryanna," Bardock touched his chest where his heart beat strong and sure. The plague of these day visions rung in his mind like bad bell chimes. He turned to the men behind him, the best of the best Vegeta had told him "Alright troops, we're approaching plane zero. Frieza is not alone, he is sure to have troops at his disposal. We're not to discourage no matter the hardships that await us."

He glanced at King Vegeta and received a nod of approval. "We cannot let Frieza rob us of our pride any longer. He has taken everything from us! He's taken our will, our freedom, and our loyalty and now plans to pay us back in our own blood. We as Saiyan warriors will not allow it!"

Cheers rang among the troops and Bardock raised his fists. "For freedom!" Cheers and hollers rang making Bardock smirk. Feeling victorious Bardock powered up the ground around him trembling and making the men feel exhilarated. "For justice, and for honor, we will fight, and we will win!"

~Frieza's ship~

Ryanna pushed Radditz into his pod. "Just go, I'll be fine." They ahd made it to the dock without bumping into anyone, but the simple fact there wasn't enough pods for them all left room for only three. So she would do what she had to, and would see that Frieza met with the warriors down on the planet.

"He'll kill you!" Radditz said gritting his teeth. "He doesn't give mercy to others."

"You listen to me Radditz. I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself. You and Vegeta need to regroup with the others on the planet and follow the plan. If this works, then everything will be fine. You just have to trust me ok?"

"What if it doesn't work?" Radditz said his legs numb and trembling. "What if…" He cuts himself off when Ryanna hugs him tightly against her bosom. She breathed into his hair smiling.

"I'll come back to you I promise. Now go…" She shoves him back and presses the jettison button just as Frieza and Zarbon run into the room.

"You! How dare you?" Frieza said snarling. "Zarbon, blast those pods out of space."

"Can't do that," Ryanna said confidently her eyes cool again. "I'm surprised at you Frieza. Do you really think I'm that stupid? I disabled all the weapons on this ship as well as the engines. This ship is now on a crash course to the Planet below. There are no more pods, and no means of escape. So unless you wanna blast this ship and fly away on your own you'll hear me out."

"Hear you out? I want to throw you out! What have you done to my ship?" Frieza was now trembling, all composure was lost and anger boiled inside him. "You foolish little girl!"

"I'm not little, and I might be foolish, but I have my orders. You, Frieza, are to meet with the Saiyan warriors on the Planet, and fight. Bring any and all troops you want. The winner of this battle decides the fate of Planet Vegeta, and the fate of the Saiyan race."

A growl came low and vicious from Frieza's throat. "Why should I meet with a bunch of stupid monkeys."

"It's your decision, but if you don't meet you'll be forever labeled as a coward." Going for the right buttons to push Ryanna leaned comfortably against the wall. "Killing me, and blowing up Planet Mete won't solve anything. There are other Saiyans hidden away on various planets and know of the plan. If you blow this place up it won't take them long to spread the word that the great Lord Frieza is scared of a bunch of monkeys."

Silence made the tension in the air grow thick. "Really it's all up to you. Meet us head on and possibly rid your life of us for good, or blow us up and get labeled a coward." She smirks her eyes confident and smug. "Either way, it's your choice, My Lord."

Sorry it's been so long! Busy, busy, busy! Like it? Hate it? Indifferent? Say so and keep on reading!
