*Hello dear readers, I apologize for the long absences my laptop died on me and I only now got a desktop. Lately I've been getting messages and reviews stating that you guys want a brand new story on Lillianna and Goku. I'm sorry but that is just not possible, I am doing what I can in story to fix the issues that you have. But trying to redo the entire story would be the demise of it. I thank you all though for your helpful suggestions, and I'm doing my best in the next chapters to try and fix the problems. Also because this is a FanFiction and not an actual story about DBZ be prepared for slight OOC because to accommodate new stuff into an old story you have to change things. Think of this as a...Alternate Universe I guess? Do to the fact that Lillianna has already achieved SSJ level, some events may be out of place from the original timeline of DBZ. Please do not flame me for it, again think of it as a Alternate Universe. Anyway enough of my blabbering here is your next chapter hope it's better. Disclaimer: I do not own anything pertaining to DBZ or anything of its likeliness, that belongs to Akira Toriyama. Lillianna is of course my OC so I only own her name and personalities. Please Read and Review, love you guys!*
Lilli's POV
Three hours passed by way to quickly, Lilli was sitting on the ground with the others waiting. Every couple of minutes lilli would look around to see if Goku had shown up, and also keeping an eye on Vegeta. As the hours ticked by Lilli's heart began to sank, he should have been here by now. Lilli knew that if Goku didn't show up soon that they were all doomed. Vegeta's scouter began beeping signaling that their time was up. Lilli and the others stood up and braced themselves, Goku still wasn't around and Lilli couldn't feel his energy yet.
"It seems Kakarrot isn't coming after all, too bad for you." Vegeta sneered, both Lilli and Gohan scoffed at his comment.
"Come on Goku hurry!" Krillin shouted to the sky.
"Until Goku arrives, it will be up to the three of us to slow these guys down. Krillin are you ready to put this plan into action?" Piccolo said low enough that only we could hear.
"You bet. First I distract him by getting his attention." Krillin replied just as quietly.
"That's right Krillin, then I'll come at him from behind and grab his tail a Saiyan's weak spot. With any luck he will be completely immobilized." Piccolo continued.
"Then I attack him head on and finish him." Gohan added in.
"Lilli you stay back and keep an eye on Vegeta, if he tries to intervene you go after him got it?" Piccolo said looking straight at Lilli, she gave a sharp nod. "Alright then, lets do this." He said focusing back on Nappa. Vegeta chuckled and Nappa began advancing on us.
"Secrets, Secrets. What are you fools whispering about over there?" Nappa asked as he stopped a couple feet in front of them.
"That's for us to know, but you'll find out soon enough." Piccolo shot back with a smile on his face. Nappa smiled back at him.
"Sounds interesting, but don't keep me waiting to long the suspense might kill me. Hahaha, oh sorry. Guess I shouldn't get your hopes up like that. Not that you had any to begin with, hope I mean. It doesn't really matter what you do, you're still gonna die." Nappa taunted.
"Fein, take this!" Krillin shouted as he started running toward Nappa.
"Oh? I'm terrified, should I run away?" Nappa teased as Krillin came at him. Vegeta continued to stand there with a smile on his face. Once Krillin was a couple feet from Nappa he shot an energy beam at the ground propelling himself up into the air successful claiming Nappa's attention. Piccolo took that moment to make his moved and flash behind Nappa and grabbed his tail.
"Hey, what the." Nappa exclaimed as his whipped his head around to look at Piccolo, he didn't seem phased at the fact that Piccolo had a hold of his tail.
"GOHAN!" Piccolo yelled giving Gohan the signal to make his move. He charged at Nappa, no trace of his earlier fear anywhere on his face. Krillin remained in the sky happy that the plan seemed to be working, but something in Lilli's stomach told her this wasn't going to end well. Nappa's shocked expression turned into one of amusement as he brought his elbow down on Piccolo's head hard.
"Give me a break." He said. Lilli gasped, Gohan stopped running, and Krillin's eyes widened. Vegeta chuckled from where he stood, Piccolo still had a hold of Nappa's tail but his eyes were wide as he gasped with pain.
"Piccolo." Gohan exclaimed from where he stood, none of them knew what to do at this moment. They were all frozen in shock.
"What's wrong Namek? You look surprised.." Piccolo dropped his tail and fell forward, before he could hit the ground Nappa grabbed him by the back of his shirt. "Oh now don't die on me just yet. You still got to tell us about the Dragon Balls." Nappa finished.
"What happened? What went wrong? Piccolo had his tail." Krillin asked still up in the air. Vegeta let out a real laugh at Krillin's remark, clearly amused that we thought this little plan would work.
"Grab his tail? That was your big plan? Nappa and I have evolved far beyond that ridiculous little weakness." Vegeta said with a smug smirk on his face, Lilli gasped. She had no clue that this was possible for her kind.
"Good for us, very bad for you." Nappa added, still holding onto Piccolo. "One hit." He continued as he threw Piccolo down at Gohan's feet. " And he's supposed to be one of the strongest of this planet." Lilli and Gohan both rushed over to Piccolo.
"Piccolo, Piccolo. Wake up, wake up. Please say something we need you." Gohan said as he tried to shake him awake. Lilli felt her blood began to boil again, without Piccolo there would be no Dragon Balls; and without the Dragon Balls they couldn't being back those that had already been defeated. Krillin continued to remain in the air and Lilli thought that at this moment that was the safest place for him. With Piccolo out Nappa decided to chose a different subject to focus on, and that subject was Gohan. He walked straight up to him smiling, Lilli could feel her anger rising. She knew she should go and protect something but her rage had her rooted to the ground. The fear had return to Gohan's face full force as Nappa towered over him.
"You may be half Saiyan, but Saiyan's are the strongest race in the galaxy. Some day you could have been a mighty warrior, some day but not today." Nappa said as he landed a kick to Gohan's stomach sending him flying up into the air, then he hit him with the side of his hand hard enough to send him flying back into one the nearby mountains.
"Don't tell me you've had enough, show me your Saiyan pride." Nappa taunted, Lilli's rage continue to grow. She balled her hands into fist, her breath coming in pants as her power level began to rise. Gohan slowly started to get back up, he was panting but from Lilli and Krillin could tell he wasn't badly hurt. Nappa took that moment to lunge at Gohan again, but before he could reach him Krillin flashed in front of him and kicked him to the face knocking him sideways. Before he had a chance to recover Krillin landed a punch under his jaw sending him flying backwards a few feet, Krillin continued to go after him but Nappa was able to recover. Krillin flashed away before Nappa's fist was able to connect with him a moved back a couple feet giving some space between them. Nappa didn't waste any time and charged after Krillin. There was enough space between them for Krillin to raise a hand a create a razor sharp Ki disk. Nappa didn't seem to notice, or he just didn't care as he continued his advance toward Krillin.
"Here catch!" Krillin said as he began to spin the disk around, Nappa stopped advancing now intrigued by what was going on. "Destructo Disk!" Krillin finally let it go, at first it slid across the ground cutting it then it moved up to the air aimed right at Nappa's face.
"Play catch huh? Why not?" Nappa smiled. Clearly he had no idea that this thing would hurt him, or maybe he didn't care again. The disk kept coming toward him, and he showed no sign of moving out of it's way.
"NAPPA! DON'T TOUCH IT!" Vegeta shouted at the last moment causing Nappa to look at him for a moment then look back to the disk that was still flying at him. He barely had time to move it head aside causing the disk to only scratch his cheek. The disk continued flying behind him till it hit a mountain cutting it in half. Nappa looked enraged a blood began to run from the cut.
"You. You cut me! Oh you've gone and done it now, you scarred my beautiful face and you're gonna pay for it." Nappa said as a ball of energy formed around his hand. "Here little man catch this one!" With that he through it at Krillin who jumped up into the air to avoid it. Nappa formed another one and was about to fire it at Krillin who has been able to recover from the last one. Then out of no where a beam was shot at Nappa's back causing his attack to burn out allowing Krillin to fall back to the ground. When the light cleared they all could see who shot the beam. Piccolo was kneeling behind him, panting with his arm stretched out. The momentary distraction gave Lillianna a chance to calm down a little.
"You Namekian trash, you think you can shoot me in the back and get away with it! How dare you!" Nappa yelled at him clearly pissed off.
"I thought it was your face." Piccolo fired back as he stood up.
"Why you I'm gonna." Nappa said, Vegeta burst into laughter he was clearly enjoying himself just watching.
"I don't know Nappa it's an easy enough mistake." Vegeta said to him.
"Bring it on. I'm tired of you and your loud mouth." Piccolo growled out balling his hand into a fist.
"You arrogant fool, your life is mine to take whenever I want. The only reason you're still breathing is because we need you to tell us about the Dragon Balls, and once we have that you'll be nothing more than a memory." Nappa snapped back at him.
"You caught me by surprise, it wont happen again." Piccolo said, then he gasped and looked up "What in the world am I sensing, there's an incredibly huge power level heading straight for us." Piccolo stated looking around, this wiped the smile of Vegeta's face.
"It's my dad! He's different some how but I know it's him." Gohan said a huge smile on his face an tears falling down his cheeks. Lilli looked up, she too could feel it. It definitely was Goku's energy but Gohan was right it was different some how.
"I knew he would save us, get em Goku." Krillin groaned out still laid out on the ground.
"Ah, you're just trying to distract me. You can't sense power levels without some sort of device." Nappa said. All four of us smiled, clearly they hadn't evolved enough to know how to sense power levels with out their scouters.
"Afraid you're wrong." Piccolo stated smugly.
"You're bluffing." Nappa exclaimed
"Oh? Wait and see." Piccolo finished still smiling. "It's Goku alright, he's on his way here right now and judging by the power I'm sensing. You Saiyan's are in store for the fight of your lives." Everyone but Nappa and Vegeta were still smiling.
"Wow, this is great. I knew my dad would make it here in time. Hurry up daddy!" Gohan said still looking up at the sky. Now that Lilli was calm she was able to move, she walked over to stand behind Gohan laying a hand on his shoulder.
"Yes, I love it." Krillin said from his spot on the ground.
"You're all a bunch of liars. Where is he?" Nappa asked looking around for him. "I don't see anyone. Vegeta what do you think? Is Kakarrot really coming or not?" He asked.
"Calm down Nappa, certainly there's nothing to worry about." Vegeta said as he picked up his scouter from the ground and put it back on. "Who cares anyway? Let him come." Vegeta continued as he pushed the button on the scouter activating it. He waited a moment as the scouter searched then his eye widened and he gasped. He just stood there in shock staring at whatever the scouter was telling him.
"Vegeta? Hey Vegeta! Snap out of it, you look like you've seen a ghost or something." Nappa said jokingly. "Come on, don't tell me there's some sort of truth to what these fools are saying." He continued a little more seriously.
"Something is definitely headed this way. But it can't be Kakarrot, the power level is too high. Whatever is coming have a power level of 5000." Vegeta said in astonishment, Nappa's eyes widened.
"WHAT! NO WAY! 5000!" Nappa yelled in shock. "It can't be, your scouter must be malfunctioning." Nappa continue, even Lilli had to admit that she was shock. Piccolo laugh, it was his turn to get enjoyment out of the situation.
"So then you still think I'm bluffing?" Piccolo said, this ticked off Vegeta.
"Nappa, quickly kill them all. We can't let them join with this fighter, if it is Kakarrot he has to know that we will not be apposed by anyone." Vegeta ordered Nappa, this wiped the smile of everyone's face.
"But what about the Dragon Balls." Nappa asked.
"We don't need these fools to find them. It's all becoming clear to me now, it must have been the Nameks who created the Dragon Balls here on this planet. I've heard of the magic balls of Namek before, but I've always thought they were just a legend. It can't be just a coincidence that while searching for these Dragon Balls we find a Namek." Vegeta said.
"I get it, a Namekian is all we need to make the Dragon Balls and planet Namek is loaded with them. And if this one doesn't want to cooperate, we can always find another Namekian that will." Nappa looked over at Piccolo. "So you're expendable." He finished. Everyone was poised ready to fight.
"Hey Piccolo, leave now." Gohan suddenly said, Lilli whipped her head toward him in shock. Though after a second of thought she realized this was a good idea. "I can take care of this bully by myself until my dad gets here." Once again Lillianna looked at Gohan in shock, all of the sudden he wasn't the same little boy he was a few moments ago. Suddenly he was the Saiyan that slept within him. Piccolo was the one to voice what Lilli was thinking.
"What?" He said looking at Gohan, even Nappa looked at him.
"If we lose you, then the Dragon Balls will disappear and we wont be able to wish any of our friends back to life." Gohan went on, again Lilli had to agree that he had a point.
"Thanks for your concern Gohan, but I really don't think you can handle these guys alone." Piccolo said, and Lilli also agreed to that, she could do what she could but with only less fighter they stood less of a chance than they did before. Nappa turned around at looked directly at Gohan.
"Just for that, you go first." He said in a deadly calm voice.
"I need to help them, but how? I can barely move. Piccolo, Gohan, Lilli. " Krillin said, has was able to roll over onto his stomach but not much more than that. Lilli wanted to go out and help him, but at the moment no one wanted to make the first move. Even after Nappa's threat Gohan didn't look scared, he looked pissed and ready to fight. In any other situation Lilli would have been proud, but this wasn't the time for that. Nappa made the first move, charging after Gohan and in that moment Gohan's brave face dropped and was replaced with fear. Piccolo took off after Nappa, then Gohan did something that shocked everyone but Krillin causing Piccolo to stop his chase. He lunged at Nappa and landed a kick to his face sending him flying back past piccolo, who barely dodged in his shocked state, and into a mountain causing the whole thing to collapse on top of Nappa. Gohan just stood there panting while we all stared in shock.
"Gohan, was that you?" Krillin ask, having been in to much pain to really pay attention. Lilli was asking the same question in her head, even though she saw it with her own eyes she still couldn't believe it. It took a while for Nappa to break free from the rubble but one he did he sprung into the air and everyone's attention was on him. He landed a few feet in front of Gohan and Piccolo and he looked completely enraged. Lilli began to get a sick feeling in her gut.
"YOU! I'LL KILL YOU!" Nappa screamed, Lilli could feel his power level rising and soon small rocks began to rising around him. Nappa formed another ball in his hand, Gohan was no long the brave boy he was just seconds ago. Now he was scared, and the look and Piccolo's face said he was too. A small voice in the back of Lilli's mind told her she should step in and do something, but she was frozen with shock and fear. Before anyone could react, Nappa fired the blast right at Gohan. The blast kept coming at him and he seem too afraid to move out of the way, everything around Lillianna stop. She knew that from where she was there was no way so could possible get to him and get him away in time. The brief time she had gotten to know him or their training flashed before her eyes, his laugh filled her head, all she could see was that happy innocent smile. All she could see was a young boy that was just like his father. Tears began to run down her face, she had fail this young boy she swore to protect, but most of all she failed Goku the one she love who she promised that she would protect his son with her very life.
At the same time Piccolo was going through a similar experience, the time he spent getting to know Gohan in their training flashed before his eyes. The young clueless sheltered boy he first met, through the stages of him becoming who he was now. And how much he had changed Piccolo's out look on life. Then Piccolo's mind snapped partially back to reality and he ran towards the young boy, he wasn't sure what he was going to do, only that he had to save him.
Flashback
Gohan was laying on the ground asleep in front of a fire he build. Piccolo stood behind him watching. "Until now, training you was out of vengeance. Making you worthy enough to be my opponent" Piccolo reached down and softly pushed up Gohan's long bangs leaving his hand there for a moment. "But, something's changed, no matter what happens to you Gohan I'll always be there to protect you."
End of Flashback
Piccolo continue to run towards Gohan, hoping that he would get there in time to save him. Once he made it to Gohan, he didn't try and take Gohan and dodge the attack. Instead he stood in front of Gohan intent on taking the blast for him. Lilli saw this and lunged forward yelling out Piccolo's name, but it was to late. The blast hit Piccolo full force, his screams filled the clearing. It seemed like the blast went on forever, but then it exploded into a huge ball of light. We all waited for the light and debris to clear to see in which state Gohan and Piccolo were in. Once the dust finally cleared, Lilli could see that Piccolo was still standing in front on Gohan. Gohan was now sitting back in a ditch that the blast created staring up at Piccolo in shock, Piccolo's outfit was almost completely destroyed and he was covered in blood. It looked as though he was struggling to continue standing.
"P-Piccolo?" Gohan asked reaching out for him.
"It's ok kid, no sweat." At that Piccolo collapsed face first onto the ground, Gohan crawled over to Piccolo.
"No, you cant be hurt Piccolo. You just can't, we need you." Gohan whimpered
"I-I'm not gonna make it. I-it's up to you." Piccolo struggled to say, he didn't move at all. Lillianna's heart sank at his words, she felt like this was her fault. Like there was something she could have done to prevent all this from happening. "You must stop them." Piccolo finished.
"Piccolo, hold on just a little longer my dad's coming. He'll save us, just hold on!" Gohan pleaded. That sorrow that Lilli felt slowly started to build into anger, anger at her brother for coming here and ruining everything. Anger at herself for not being able to do anything to help, once again she felt her power slowly began to rise but everyone was to focused on Gohan and Piccolo.
"Aw, too bad I wanted to take my time with the Namek. Oh well, I can still have fun with the kid." Nappa said like it was no big deal.
"It's ironic isn't it, after all my years of training to defeat your father I'd go out like this. Trying to save you, his son." Piccolo told Gohan after he was able to get onto his back.
"Piccolo?" Gohan said again leaning over him. Lillianna balled her hands into fist, this time Krillin noticed the change in Lilli and looked up.
"Lilli, you need to calm down. There isn't anything you could have done to save him." Krillin try to console her but it was no use, Lilli was to far gone in her rage.
"Gohan, you're the only real friend I ever had. I wanna thank you." Piccolo confessed to Gohan.
"Just hold on a little longer." Gohan said again.
"I still remember the day I brought you here, you were small, helpless, you've changed so much since then. The harder things got, the more determined you became, the more dangers you faced, the stronger you grew as a warrior. I know I was hard on you, but it was for your own good. You're like the son I never had, I proud of you." Piccolo went on to tell Gohan, tears continue to run down Lilli's face as she listened but her anger continued to grow.
"No, please." Gohan pleaded again.
"Good-bye my friend." With that the last of piccolo's life force faded.
"NO!" Gohan screamed out in agony, Lilli felt something inside Gohan break. At that moment Gohan stood up and screamed louder in rage, Vegeta's scouter beeped again and he gasped as he looked at it. Suddenly he turned his glare to Nappa, this was a moment were if looks could kill Nappa would be dead right now.
"Huh? Alright, lets go!" Nappa exclaimed suddenly excited about this outburst from Gohan. Gohan put both his hands above his head.
"Masanko!" This caused everyone but Lilli to look at Gohan in shock.
"Gohan?" Krillin called out, energy began to gather at Gohan's hands.
"That ones power levels over 2000. Hold on, it's over 3000. Nappa watch out, this one is much more powerful than he appears!" Vegeta shouted at Nappa, but Nappa seemed to ignore him.
"Here I come boy." Yelled Nappa, by now Gohan had a ball of light sparking in front of his hands.
"HA!" With that Gohan shot the beam at Nappa, Lilli and Krillin could feel the fury behind it. Nappa simply knocked it into a mountain behind him.
"Hey, not to bad kid. That made my arm numb." Nappa said clutching his hand and laughing. "Alright then, it's my turn." Vegeta continued to look at Gohan through the scouter.
"Ah, that one shot must have drained most of his energy. His power lever has returned to normal." But then the scouter began to beep again and Vegeta began to look around trying to find the source of it. His eyes settle on me and when he read the scouter his eyes widened for a split second. "Well, well well sister. It seems like you are a lot stronger that I gave you credit for, and it's still rising." He paused for a moment a looked around, then he started to laugh. "Are you seriously getting worked up over some insignificant lives. You're a Saiyan elite, you should be laughing at this." Vegeta's words pierced through Lilli's anger, but it only add fuel to it pissing her off even more. She felt her body pulsing, her head was throbbing, and she could feel her fangs throbbing the ache to tear something apart and not care. She knew that she had to be careful, she didn't want to hurt the wrong person. The gravel around her began to rise as her power level increased. Vegeta's scouter began to beep again, and this time his eyes really widened. "No, this can't be right. How do you have so much power? How is it still climbing." Vegeta said in complete shock.
"Lilli, don't they're too strong. We just can't stop them." Krillin tried to reason with Lilli, but she wasn't listening. She was doing her best to control the urges that were already raging inside her.
"Don't worry Piccolo, I won't let you down." Gohan huffed out, he looked completely drained.
"Gohan, run away! Hurry!" Krillin yelled after him, he still wasn't able to move to help Gohan and Lilli was still trapped inside her rage.
"Haha. That's right, run away and hide." Nappa said as he started walking toward Gohan.
"No way, Piccolo's counting on me." Gohan said as he turned to face Nappa head on.
"Gohan, no." Krillin said, Lilli was slowly starting to get control of her power and was able to focus a little better on what was happening around her. Gohan bowed his head, it seemed he realized he didn't have enough energy to fight back. Nappa raised his foot as if he was going to stomp on Gohan.
"Nice knowing you kid, there will always be a soft spot at the bottom of my boot for ya. Haha, so long." Nappa started to bring down his foot, this made something in Lilli snap. Her power level skyrocketed, the force exploding outward and causing her head to be thrown back. Her eyes glazed over a for a moment she couldn't see anything, the pressure of the power in her body made her scream out loud. The ground beneath her feet began to crack and crumble as though she suddenly weighed a thousand pounds. Her hair lifted straight up and turned into a bright gold color, the aura around her was not a yellow-gold color illuminating her and the things around her like she was on fire. Vegeta gasped as he took in the sight before him, and the outburst cause Nappa to stop in his tracks. Finally her Power level hit its limit and the force around her exploded reducing everything near her to rubble. The glaze cleared for her eyes and she could see again, Vegeta could see from where he stood that here eyes were now a teal color.
"What, this is impossible. There is no what that my sister could be a super Saiyan, she's been living here on this weak planet." Vegeta ground out, but before he could say any more Lilli flashed behind Nappa and landed a kick to his back sending him flying into a mountain. She didn't give him time to recover she flashed to him firing a Ki blast at him at point blank range ramming him into the ground deeper. Vegeta seeing this moment as one to join into the fight against his sister, appeared behind her. Lilli didn't notice Vegeta as she continued to shoot Nappa with Ki blast, Vegeta landed a kick to her lower back making her fall face first into the ground. Vegeta then grabbed a fistful of her hair and lifted off the ground and made her look at him, he then kneed her in the stomach. This caused Lilli to snarl in anger at him, she punched him in the face hard enough to make him let get of her hair. She landed on her feet and turned her anger on him, she began throwing punches at him causing him to back up in order to dodge them.
"You really think you have a chance against me little brother. I've always bested you in the past, how will this be any different!" Lilli yelled, she continued her stream of punches no longer paying any attention to her attack completely swallowed up in her rage and hatred. Vegeta saw an opening in her guard and fired a blast right at her legs, causing her to lose her balance and crash to the ground. Vegeta followed the Ki blast with another this time aimed at her chest, Lilli fired one of her own at him knocking his aim of. The blast hit her in the stomach, she growled out in pain but the pain only lasted a minute as her rage overpowered it. So too the moment in that lapse of Vegeta's concentration to get back on her feet, she definitely had a wound where the blast hit but she didn't worry about it at the moment. Lilli leaned to the side and brought her hands together at her side one on top of the other.
"GALICK!" A bright purple ball of Ki began to form the light of it completely surrounding her, she let it charge up putting almost all her strength into it. Then she throws her hands out in front of her aimed at Vegeta. "FIRE!" She screamed as she fired the beam off at him, but he had anticipated this and dodged it flashing away then returning right in front of her and landing a hard punch to the wound in her stomach. The blast ended brutally as her eyes widened and her breath cause in her throat, he twisted his fist against the wound then sent a shock wave of energy to her causing her to be thrown back several feet. She landed on the ground flat on her back, her eyes and hair returned to their normal color as the front of her Ki rapidly began to turn a dark red as she was not heavily bleeding. Vegeta started to walk back over to her intent on finishing her off.
"You see sister, while you were enjoying your life here on Earth. I was training harder than ever so that the day I saw you again, I would be the one to beat you. I've perfected all of you techniques, they no longer work on me. You are no better than a low class warrior, Super Saiyan or not." He was now towering over her smiling, he aimed his index finger at her head. Just as he was about to fire the final shot, someone flashed in between him and Lilli. Lilli looked up to see who it was and her eyes widened. The interruption caused Vegeta to falter and back up.
"Goku." Lilli rasped out. "Y-you made it." He looked back at her for a brief moment and smiled before he turned his attention back to Vegeta.
