Author: "AUTHOR NOTE TIME! I have a few things to address in here, actually. But first, the chapter itself. FINALLY. ACTION. OHEMGEE, took me long enough... You remember how Scorzette was a lot like Vegeta when she first arrived? Well, Frostbitter is a lot like Frieza... and just like Frieza, he's over powered as all hell. Like any good ol' DBZ villain! I've yet to draw him, though. I'll do that some day.

NOW, that leads me to my next point. APPARENTLY, FanFiction doesn't like script format. However, the way I write stories just wouldn't work in any other format. So, in case anything happens to this or To Be Born Anew (or both), I will begin uploading the chapters to my deviantART account as well. You can find a link to my deviantART account in my profile, or by looking up 'Hoyitos' in deviantART.

Lastly, I have mentioned that I have pre-typed all the way to Chapter 45. I'd love to answer your questions in private, but I hate how this site requires that you send a private message instead of just a quick reply... But anyways, I'm not uploading all those chapters because if I do... I'll have nothing to upload for next week. I need time to come up with ideas, as well as for To Be Born Anew. Besides, it keeps you guys interested. You know how you only get to see one new episode of your favorite animes once a week? That's why they do it.

K, done talking. Read, review, follow, fave, do whatchu wanna do."

Lost Origin: A Saiyan's Quest

Andromeda: "We have to hurry and re-create the moons! Sakura and Scorzette are going to need all the help they can get! I need to re-charge my powers, and it needs to be quick!"

Ninomiya: "OK! Tell me what I have to do!"

Andromeda: "Alright, you're going to... um... well... what could you actually help with, hm...?"

Ninomiya: "... am I useless?"

Author: "Very."

Andromeda: "Look, just be my sponge man! If I start sweating, wipe it off with this sponge." *hands over sponge*

Ninomiya: "... yyyup, I'm useless."

Chapter 34: Power and Joy

A new threat appeared before our heroes! His name was Emperor Frostbitter, and he appeared to be part of the same race of aliens as Frieza. He even possessed the cold and ruthless heart Frieza had! All he desired was to kill our heroes, just for his evil, selfish pleasure. Destroying Planet Vegeta and their dreams was just a plus to his evil plan! Our heroes might be strong, but just by looking at Frostbitter, they seemed to have the shorter end of the stick.

Frostbitter: "So, ladies. Are you prepared to meet your doom?"

Scorzette: "Not a chance! We won't be going down that easily!"

Frostbitter: "Is that so? Then let me show you..."

In a split-second, Frostbitter completely disappeared from Sakura's and Scorzette's sight! The two Saiyans gasped at what just happened, but before any of them could ask where he was, Frostbitter stood in between the two fighters! With a quick motion, Frostbitter spread his arms left and right, with his palms wide open. Doing so cast a sudden pressure wave from both his hands, sending Sakura and Scorzette flying far away, separating them by a great distance!

Sakura: "Aaaahhh!" *recovers in mid-air* *lands safely* "Wha-how...?! One second he was far away, but then the next second he was beside us?! His speed is far superior to ours! How are we supposed to catch him?!"

Scorzette: "Whoa!" *recover and lands* "Ugh! This guy's definitely something... but we have to strike as well! Hya!" *charges at Frostbitter*

Frostbitter: "Oh, how cute, she thinks she can fight me with such recklessness. I suppose it is my duty to teach her she is wrong."

Mere mili-seconds before Scorzette could get a hit on Frostbitter, the tyrant stopped her fist using only his finger! Scorzette couldn't believe he could stop a powerful attack like that with such ease. Her reaction blinded Scorzette from noticing Frostbitter charging his other fist, punching Scorzette right in the stomach with the force of a wrecking ball! Unable to speak, Scorzette was then struck from behind by Frostbitter's leg, smashing the poor Saiyan against the ground. Frostbitter then put his feet on Scorzette's back, making her incapable of escaping.

Sakura: "Scorzette! Let her go, now!" *charges at Frostbitter*

Sakura's desperate attempt to help Scorzette resulted in committing the same mistake her partner did. Attacking Frostbitter directly would just result in him counterattacking instantly. But Sakura didn't think about that, and when she was just in front of Frostbitter, her punishment would come. Frostbitter used his tail to strike Sakura from below, hitting her chin with tremendous power, almost breaking it! Sakura, still dumbfounded by the hit, was now an easy target for more attacks. Frostbitter used his feet to kick Scorzette towards Sakura, which sent the two Saiyans flying high up to the sky! While in mid-air, Frostbitter appeared in front of Sakura and Scorzette, pointing his palm towards them. An energy sphere appeared on his hand, which Frostbitter used to blast our heroes back to the ground! Sakura and Scorzette received heavy damage from this, barely capable of moving now!

Scorzette: "Ugh..." *cough, cough* "It hasn't been two minutes and I can barely stand straight! How are we supposed to fight him if we can't even lay a finger on him?!"

Sakura: "We-OW! ... we need to come up with a plan! An indirect approach, or maybe some way to temporally become stronger..."

Meanwhile, in Planet Vegeta's atmosphere...

Andromeda: "Aaaand... OK, my powers have fully re-charged. Now let's get those moons up and running."

Andromeda raised her hands towards a concentration of debris in the planet's atmosphere, releasing some energy. Just like with Planet Vegeta, this debris began spinning and coming together, forming the shape of a white sphere, which was one of the two moons. Due to the fact that Andromeda had just rebuild an entire planet, it would take her slightly longer to rebuild one moon, and even longer to rebuild the next, even though her powers had been restored.

Andromeda: "Hah... hah... sponge."

Ninomiya: "Sponge." *wipes Andromeda's forehead*

Back on Planet Vegeta...

Frostbitter: "What? Is that all you've got? That is quite disappointing, really. I would expect a pair of Saiyan warriors to pose at least a minor threat, but I guess I was sorely mistaken. To make this more fun, I think I'm going to eliminate you two one at a time! Starting with... the little one."

Frostbitter came flying towards Sakura, kneeing her face! This sent her flying across the fields into a lake. As Sakura submerged, she opened her eyes and saw a bank of fishes. Once she looked closer, though, Sakura noticed these fishes were actually electric eels!

Sakura: "Electric eels! Hey, guys, can you come here a sec?"

The electric eels looked confused as to why Sakura was talking to them, but they obeyed as they saw her injuries. Once they came to her, Sakura asked them to release electricity all around her, as to charge her body. A strange request, but simple enough, so the electric eels discharged thousands of volts of electricity on the spot Sakura was. With her ability to channel electricity, Sakura absorbed every spark and shock, quickly recovering from the beating she took just minutes ago! Sakura was ready to fight again, but she knew even then she didn't stand a chance against Frostbitter, so she came up with a plan.

Sakura: "Thank you, electric eels! But if you don't mind, I have another favor to ask. There's a very tall, evil man up there that wants to destroy this planet! Me and my friend are trying to stop him, but he's too tough for just the two of us, so I want your help. I need you guys to electrify these waters when I tell you, OK? With all that energy flowing throughout me, I should be able to defeat Frostbitter!"

Wait, how is she not drowning?

Author: "Sakura's a Saiyan. She's just cool like that. Also, again, it's a fan FICTION."

... whatevs. After explaining the plan, the electric eels looked at each other, then back at Sakura and nodded. There were at least 30 eels and they spread across the lake, waiting for Sakura's call. Like every animal in Planet Vegeta, these electric eels were much more powerful than those back at Earth. Their electrical power didn't stop at 600 volts, but instead, these electric eels could cause electrical shocks of up to 15,000 volts within a 400 meter-wide radius! Besides that, these eels had the ability to 'blink' throughout water, allowing them to instantly appear on any body of water on a 100 meter range. With this ability, an electric eel could blink through water drops if it rained, allowing them to fly up to the clouds if they needed to temporally escape the lake they were on.

Frostbitter: *waiting outside* "... what, isn't she going to come out for air?"

Sakura: *rises from water* *breathes* "Hah... right. Hey, baldy! I bet you can't catch me here on the water!"

Frostbitter: "What confidence all of a sudden! You must be anxious to die by my hand! Allow me to fulfill your wishes." *charges towards Sakura*

Sakura instantly went back down to the depths of the lake, avoiding Frostbitter's attack. The villain followed her down, looking for his victim under the lake.

Frostbitter: "Come out, fishy, fishy! You know you can't hide for lo-"

Sakura: "NOW!"

This was Sakura's call to the electric eels! In seconds, the lake where the fighters were swimming shone brightly from the hundreds of thousands of electrical volts being discharged! Frostbitter was stunned, making him open for attacks. Sakura channeled all that energy to charge at Frostbitter with lightning speed, punching, kicking, and tail-slashing him all over the place! Sakura's attacks kept getting faster and faster until she finally uppercut Frostbitter out of the water, causing a massive splash that made water fall back down as if it was raining! Sakura's barrage didn't stop here, though. The electric eels began blinking out of the lake and onto the water that came from the splash, continuing the electric current! This gave Sakura a chance to perform a second barrage of attacks, and she did. Now in mid-air, Sakura charged back and forth at Frostbitter, punching, kicking, and tail-slashing him just like before. Sakura's constant attacks created a highly-concentrated electricity zone around Frostbitter, allowing for a final strike. The electric eels quickly gathered around Sakura, charging her power to its maximum capacity! She channeled almost 1,000,000 volts on her left fist. With this hyper-electrified hand of hers, Sakura punched Frostbitter with a power so intense, it caused an electric explosion, causing major damage on Frostbitter, knocking him out cold! Damn, I love this girl!

Sakura: "Yeah! I beat him! Now to help Scorzette." *starts running towards Scorzette*

Scorzette: "Whoa... I can't believe how powerful that Litua actually is... and to think she's only 14." *gets up* "I can at least stand now, thankfully."

Sakura: *still running* "Scorzette! Did you see that! Those kind electric eels back there helped me out so much! I wouldn't have been able to do anything without them!"

Scorzette: "Yeah, yeah, great work, kid. Let's just find somewhere to send Frostbitter to so he won't come back and atta-HUH?! LITUA, WATCH OUT!"

Sakura: "Wha...? Watch out for wha-UGH!" *falls to the ground unconscious*

Frostbitter: "Missed me?"

Frostbitter was back on his feet, unscathed! It was as if he had never been hit once during the entire fight with Sakura! When Scorzette noticed him, it was too late, as he had already hit Sakura in a vital point on her neck, knocking her out! He was now approaching towards Scorzette to finish her off! Damn, I hate this dude!

Scorzette: "HOW?! NO WAY! I saw you get beaten to a pulp by Litua! How can you even stand up?!"

Frostbitter: "I'll admit, that was a pretty decent move from the girl's part. It's a shame her attack didn't kill me, though. In case you haven't noticed, my body works a little bit different from an ordinary fighter. No matter how much damage I receive, all my wounds will almost instantly heal! You could use me as a punching bag all day long if you want. By the end of the day, I'll be as good as new! I'm sorry you were too excited to put an end to me, you poor, little Saiyan, but as it turns out... there is no end to me!"

Scorzette: "Grrr...! Why, I'm gonna-AUGH!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Scorzette was grabbed by the neck. She tried to escape, but all to no avail, as all she could do was just wave her arms and legs around, attempting to hit Frostbitter. The tyrant gave Scorzette a terrifying look, with an evil grin that no one could forget at such close distance. Frostbitter's grin stretched widely across his face, his sharp and white teeth tightly closed together, and his evil red eyes wide open, just to make the fear factor even higher. Frostbitter pulled his grasping arm back, then threw Scorzette far away, until she crashed with a rock, turning the whole thing to rubble. She snuck her head out of the stones, though the rest of her body was buried. But then...

Scorzette: "Ow... Frostbitter... he seems to be too much for us! No matter how hard we try, he just... huh? What is this thing I feel... it's strange, yet familiar. It feels like..." *looks down to the ground* "Whoa! That brown fur... could it be...?"

As Scorzette mesmerized over this strange feeling of hers, Frostbitter was approaching! When he was right in front of her, the torturer got ready to perform a finishing attack! However, Scorzette seemed to ignore him. Cuz ain't nobody got time for that.

Frostbitter: "Prepare to meet your makeeeee... hey, I'm talking to you! What's so important that you choose to ignore your death than to-"

Oblivious to Scorzette's reaction, a brown-furred object wrapped around Frostbitter's leg, causing him to fall to the ground. Immediately after, Scorzette burst out of the rubble, performing a single spin. Frostbitter was then launched far away by this object on his leg. Once the picture became clear, Frostbitter could finally see what had happened. Scorzette rested her right palm and feet on the ground, and from behind her, specifically on her tailbone there was... you guessed it, her tail! It grew back! It was just as long, flexible, and smooth-yet-strong as she remembered, though a little messy from being under the rocks.

Scorzette: *swings tail back and forth* "Yes..." *swings it some more* "YES!" *uses tail to break rocks on ground* "I can just feel my strength coming back! Oh, tail, I missed you so much! Now I won't feel weird at night... THOUGH I STILL HATE YOUR GUTS, NINOMIYA!" *stretches tail, wraps it around arms, does all sorts of things* "Right, now... let's see if I can work this out. Litua's electrical powers come mostly from her tail, sort of like a power output. Which means, I might be able to do something similar if I... oh! This loincloth thing on my hips, the symbol it has might help me out here. OK, so..."

Curious now as to what the green symbol on her loincloth actually meant, Scorzette rubbed her tail against it. The symbol began shining, and Scorzette felt a strange power flowing from her tail onto the rest of her body. When she stopped rubbing it, a green and red light flashed from the loincloth, and then something amazing happened! Scorzette's tail became surrounded by floating runes, some red and some green. Scorzette had acquired the ability to use runic symbols!

Scorzette: "It's just like in Andromeda's book!" *summons rune on hand* "With this new power..." *splashes rune* "Yeah, let's go!"

Frostbitter: "... heh... ehehehe! What a fool! Do you really think a couple of cute drawings are going to change the outcome of this battle?"

Scorzette: "Let's hope for the best... alright, Frosty, I'm ready for this. A true Saiyan warrior never backs down, and a true fighter..." *summons dozens of runes* "... never turns down a fight!"

Recovering her tail and gaining the power of runes, Scorzette felt like she might just be the adversary to defeat Frostbitter! However, despite her great strength, she was also aware of Frostbitter's extraordinary healing capabilities, as shown by his wellness after Sakura's explosive attack. Will Scorzette really be able to stand up a fight against the terrible Frostbitter? How much more time does Andromeda need to rebuild the moons? Find out next time on Lost Origin: A Saiyan's Quest!

To be continued...

Bonus skit

While performing her majestic barrage of attacks, Sakura, alongside the electric eels, were shredding Frostbitter to pieces! However, their focus on the tyrant caused them to forget about something else in the lake...

Fish #1: "... hey, dude, you hear something?"

Fish #2: "Sounds like there's a party going on outside."

Fish #1: "Let me check just what the he-HOLY!"

Fish #2: "What? What's going o-OH MY GOD! THE ELECTRIC EELS ARE GOING HAM!"

Fish #1: "EVERYONE, SWIM FOR YOUR LIVES!"

All the fishies: "AAAAAAHHHHH!"

Fish #3: "Wait, but there isn't anywhere we can swim off to!"

Fish #4: "OK, guys, let's not panic, we have to think of some-"

Fish #2: "EVERYONE, SWIM IN CIRCLES LIKE A MANIAC!"

All the fishies: "AAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

No wonder fishes have such tiny brains...
