Dragonball Z:Season Two
By: XZanayu
Chapter Eleven
On a distant and desolate planet, our heroes arrive. Its almost evening as the twin suns start to set.
"Well, this place hasn't changed." Vegeta said looking at the surroundings.
Planet 22, formally known as Simeria, was once a beautiful and lush planet, rich with a variety of animal and humanoid lifeforms, before the saiya-jins came along, wiped out the lifeforms and later Frieza mined the planet dry of all its natural resources and left behind a desert planet in his wake.
"This is Frieza handy work. One day, I will restore Simeria back to its original state. Somehow, I will find a way to restore all the planets Frieza and his kind ravaged." Valis said.
"Our opponents are also here as well." Tenshi said, detecting the various ki signals coming from the other side of the planet.
"Yes. I suggest you all make use of what little sunlight is left to train and rest up for the night. Tomorrow, you must be fresh and prepared for the big battle." Pogo said as he watched Valis set up the large two-story capsule house that Bulma provided before they left.
"Right." Goku said.
"How do we know they won't sneak attack us." Krillin asked.
"They won't. The Darkness needs time to recover from being on Earth for a while and whoever freed it, won't attack without its strongest weapon. Trust me. We'll be fine." Valis replied.
"I hope your right." Krillin said.
Everyone split up into teams and began to spar as the suns set and the sky started to darken.
On the other side of the planet.
Prince Armand and his army is preparing for tomorrow as well. Standing on a cliff overlooking his massive army, Prince Armand watches as the sky turns purple, orange and red as the twin suns have set and night approaches.
"Sir." a voice says behind him.
"Yes, Akami?"
"Everything is ready. Sasuke has confirmed the arrival of the princess and her protecters. They are on the other side of the planet." she told him.
"Excellent."
"Milord? I know it is not my place, but should we not take advantage of this situation. The princess and her forces are few while we are many and we can easily attack them now while they are unaware and-"
"No."
Akami thought she heard incorrectly.
"Milord?"
"I said no, Akami."
"But, sir."
"Akami, you are clearly underestimating the princess and her protecters. You said so yourself that she was not like her predecessors. Our forces in the future are hard pressed at trying to dethrone her and destroy her kingdom and continue to fail. She is far too powerful to bring down in the future. We must bring her down here, in this time, before she becomes that powerful and we can't do that until the Darkness has fully recovered being on earth and traveling here. The Darkness is our trump card and without the sword, there is no way she and her forces can't win. So, we will wait until tomorrow morning. By then, the Darkness will be at full strength." Armand explained.
"Yes, milord." Akami answered.
Just below them was a large cave and inside rested the Darkness.
Back on the other side of the planet.
"I thought I'd find you here." Goku spoke as he approached his sister sitting on a hill above their house looking up at the night sky.
"Hey, nii-chan." Valis replied looking at her brother as he sat down beside her to watch the blanket of stars and twin moons above them.
"You couldn't sleep either huh?" Goku asked, still looking at the sky.
"Yeah. I'm not worried more like nervous and in all honesty, scared out of my mind. I mean, I faced death before, shit, we all have but, I've faced nothing like this. How do you deal with it nii-chan? How do you get over your fear of death?"
"Who says I do?"
"Nani?"
Goku looked at his sister who was looking at him like she couldn't believe what he just said.
"I'm always afraid of death, V-chan, in situations like this. Even though, I've already been dead, that doesn't mean that battles like this don't scare me. I'd be lying if they didn't. But, battles like these also excite me. My heart starts racing and I start breathing heavy. I feel exhilirated when I fight and I think drives the fear to the back of my mind at least, but it doesn't go away."
Valis blinked then smiled at her baby brother.
"I'm glad you told me that. You could've lied to me, but you didn't. Thank you."
"Heh, Goku couldn't lie to anyone if he tried. He's a terrible liar." another voice piped in.
"Hey, Piccolo." Goku greeted him as Piccolo sat down on the opposite side of Valis.
"I know you're worried, kitten. We all are. But, we will do all we can to be victorious tomorrow." Piccolo said to her.
"He's right, sis. Try not to worry ok?" Goku said, giving his sister a chaste kiss on the cheek before standing up and stretching.
"Well, I'm off to bed. I'll see you two inside. Goodnight." Goku said as he winked at them and walked back down the hill.
"Goodnight, nii-chan."
"Goodnight, Goku."
Piccolo wrapped his arm around Valis' shoulder and pulled her against his side. The two sat in comfortable silence watching the night sky when a shooting star appeared.
"Look, piccolo-chan. A shooting star. Quick make a wish." Valis said, closing her eyes and making a wish just as the shooting star vanished.
"What did you wish for?" Piccolo asked.
"I can't tell you. If I do, it won't come true." She replied with a smile.
Piccolo smiled in return then stood up and held out his hand to assist her to her feet. Valis took his hand and both preceeded down the hill to the large capsule house at the foot of the hill to go to bed, to escape for a few hours in their sleep before tomorrow.
Dawn.
As the twin suns appeared over the horizon, gently sending their rays into the windows of the capsule house. Piccolo placed an arm over his eyes to block the sunlight from his face when he felt the body snuggled against him sit up and yawn.
"Morning, my green bean head." Valis said, looking down at him with a sleepy smile before bending forward to kiss him gently on the lips.
Piccolo smiled and removed his arm from is eyes and caressed her cheek.
"Good morning, kitten." he replied.
"Well, today's the day. You ready?" Piccolo asked her.
Valis sighed. "As ready as I'll ever be. I'm gonna go take a shower."
"Okay. I'll go and see if anyone else is up besides us and Vegeta." He told her as he felt Vegeta's ki signal outside already.
"Okay. I'll be downstairs to fix breakfast as soon as I'm down showering and getting dressed so tell everyone to be patient, that includes nii-chan." She told him as she walked into the adjacent bathroom and closed the door.
Piccolo chuckled softly as he got up from bed, got dressed and went downstairs. He met up with Gohan and Trunks, who had also just woken up, in the spaceous living room.
"Morning yawwwnnn Piccolo. " Gohan said covering his mouth as he yawned.
"Good morning, piccolo." Trunks said while sitting down in one of the recliners.
Piccolo nodded his response to both as he leaned against the wall next the sofa Gohan sat down on.
"Morning guys." Gohan said to the rest of the Z senshi and the guardians coming downstairs.
"Good morning." they said with the exception of Vegeta who gave his patented "Hn" when he walked in from outside.
Soon, delicious smells came from the kitchen. Goku, Gohan, Trunks, Goten, and Vegeta rushed into the kitchen and sat at the long dining table as the others filed in behind them, shaking their heads at the saiya-jins and their appetites.
Valis hand just finished placing a platter piled high with assorted meats on the table and yanked her arms away in time before the four saiya-jins attacked it along with the rest of the food. Tenshi, Mai, Pogo, and Yuki watched with part amazement and digust, not quite used to the way their saiya-jins friends ate. Valis placed plates of food before the rest of the fighters as well as her guardians, knowing that they wouldn't get any food from the platters on the table that her comrades were devouring at an alarming rate. Valis sat down at the head of the long table and began to eat with more manners by using utensils and her napkin.
After a hearty breakfast, everyone gathered outside.
"Okay, minna. Before we go I need to give you guys a boost." Valis told the Z senshi.
"A boost?" Krillin asked.
Pogo and the guardians smiled. They knew what she meant.
"Mm-hmm. Close your eyes please." Valis told the Z senshi.
They did as she asked. Valis summoned the V-blade to her hands and concentrated her power on it. The sword began to glow a golden color and shot out rays of golden light that engulfed each of the Z senshi. When the light disappated, the Z senshi were still in their gi's only they were white. Every last one of them. The V-blade vanished after that.
"You can open your eyes now." Valis told them.
The Z senshi opened their eyes to see the slight change in their wardrobe.
"Sis? What happened to our clothes?" Goku and the others looked at their new gi's.
"Nothing much. I just lent some of the V-blade's power to you. In doing so, the V-blade changed the color of your gi's in order to show unity among yourselves and loyalty towards me. You won't be able to tell the changes in your ki levels until you start fighting, understand?" she explained.
"Cool." Goten said.
"Good. Now, everyone join hands."
All of them joined hands and pogo leaned against Valis' leg.
"Everyone ready?" Valis asked.
After recieving a nod from everyone, she closed her eyes and teleported them all to the meadow outside the ruined city of Argos, the location chosen for the battle.
"Holy shit!" Yamcha cried out in shock.
They stood on the opposite side of the meadow facing a massive army that outnumbered them 30 to 1.
Valis and the guardians, on the other hand, weren't shocked at all. They knew what to expect. Valis closed her eyes and extended her senses, searching for one specific lifeform. Her eyes snapped open when she found what she was looking for.
"Found it, princess?" Pogo asked, looking up at Valis.
"Yes. Its in a cave just beyond the army. I also picked up three other powerful ki signatures as well. No doubt the ones who summoned it." Valis replied looking at the army.
Valis noticed a certain movement among the enemies army and then the army started charging toward them.
"Remember the plan everyone!" Valis called out to her friends as they got in attack position.
Valis looked up at he fiance, when he grasped her hand. Piccolo smiled down at her.
"Be careful and good luck." He told her.
She smiled back and squeezed his hand.
"I will and then we'll all go home when this is over. I promise." she replied.
Piccolo nodded and released her hand.
Valis looked at pogo and her guardians. They looked at her and nodded. Valis screamed her warcry and charged at the approaching army, her guardians by her side while the Z senshi stayed behind.
WHAT IS VALIS PLAN AND WILL IT WORK? STAY TUNED!!
