Chi-Chi was led into a dark room by Mr. Popo. In the center of that room was a pendulum swinging above a series of interlocked circles with runes and symbols at their center. The room glowed faintly of red from symbols and circles.
Chi-Chi said slightly perturbed by the room "So, I'm going into the past."
"Yes. This room will transport a spirit version of yourself into a recreation of the past that you will be able to interact with, but this isn't time travel. You'll not be able change history so try to keep that in mind."
"Well okay but why can't I change the past?"
"Well let's just say that there are beings above Kami that actively discourage time travel. Besides no one couldn't change this place even if I or anyone wanted it to."
"Where will I be going?"
"Far from here on a different planet."
"Where exactly?"
"To a place that no longer exists but for the fantasies of its survivors. The planet Plant also known as Planet Vegeta. Kakarrot's birthplace and the Saiyan's last home world. Go into the circle and close your eyes."
Chi-Chi didn't really understand any of this but did as she was instructed. She went into the circle and closed her eyes. She suddenly felt what was like a slip and then felt herself drift away.
Her eyes slammed open to the sounds of an explosion. She was in a different place. She was in a city that looked bombed out and ruined. Rubble surrounded her, or her spirit body or whatever. A sickly-sweet smell was in the air along with the smell of burning garbage. There were dead bodies around her and they stunk.
Someone shouted, to her "What in the Fuck is a kid doing out here?!"
She looked behind her to see a man in a suit of metal with glowing blue eyes coming at her. His hands apparently trying to grab hold of her. On instinct she jumped back evading his grasp.
A voice from the suit said to her "Come on kid I'm not playing around. You need to get out of here so come with me!"
"No why should I?"
The Suit soldier said to her with frustration in the voice "Are you stupid kid? Where are you parents? Why weren't you evacuated? Get over here!"
The suit made another grab for her but was again unsuccessful. But suddenly Chi-Chi heard chuckles from behind the suit and in a female voice say, "Tuber you're just not good with kids."
She came up behind him. She looked like a human just a short one to Cheech well maybe a bit bluer tint to her skin. She had fair skin and hair but with green eyes. She had on what looked like grey battle armor with a weapon of sorts on her back.
Tuber barked back to her "Shut it Gypsy. This kid is probably a feral or mute or something to be stupid enough to run away from me."
Chi-Chi was indignant at that "I'm not stupid I just don't like someone trying to grab me!" Gypsy snickered and Tuber seemed to brood in his suit.
Gypsy took out a candy bar "I'm sure your hungry living on your own. You can have this if you promise to come with us."
Tuber pretended to cough and under his breath said, "Stranger danger."
Gypsy looked at him miffed as Chi-Chi was slightly puzzled by all of this asked "Why do you want me out of here so badly?"
Tuber flippantly stated, "Because of the Saiyans." He said implying the stupid comment from earlier.
"My name is Gypsy what is yours?"
"It's Chi-Chi."
"Now Chi-Chi this is a very dangerous place. Any minute were probably going to come under attack. The monsters that have done all of this damage and hurt all of your friends and families our coming back and you don't want to be here when that happens."
"I do. If they have done all this, I want to fight them."
Tuber loudly sighed in his suit while Gypsy merely looked at her scared and said "That's very brave Chi-Chi but I sure you know that they are quite strong. It would be better that you let us handle this fight."
Another yell came from behind angry "Gypsy, Tuber, what the hell are you joker's doing?"
Tuber yelled back "We found a kid Sir!"
The angry male voice asked "What?"
He stormed up behind the two pushing them out of the way. The man also had blueish skin and also was short in stature, but his eyes were a pale blue, his hair grey and his helmet had on stripes. He looked older and appeared to be filled with far more full of rage.
The two saluted and Gypsy said to him "Sergeant Maitake, me and Private Tuber were merely trying to remove this kid from the field of battle."
"Kid she looks almost full grown. I guess she looks a little young. Kid do you have a death wish or something. Come with us before you get hurt."
A massive explosion shook the ground. Maitake looked towards it with a panic and said to himself "That would be the main gate." He put his finger up to his ear. "Bewit that Gauss Cannon better be in monkey killing shape because we're about to be hit and hit hard." He nodded; Chi-Chi guessed he got an affirmative on that.
Maitake barked out to the other two with his fingers still on his earpiece "Look alive people! Monkey is on his way and he's in need of a welcome party and the men and women of Ortreatus Company are going give it to him."
Tuber levitated in the air and rushed elsewhere while Gypsy tried to grab Chi-Chi to pull her away but Chi-Chi yet again avoided someone trying to grab her. When a blast came out of the air aimed at Gypsy. Chi-Chi doubled back grabbing hold of Gypsy and forcing her out of the way.
The blast went off and the two went skidding away and when they stopped Gypsy looked at Chi-Chi confusion on what had just happened.
Chi-Chi looked out to see what had fired at Gypsy.
It was a man by the looks of it much large in size, he had black hair with a brown tail. On his face was a familiar wolfish grin. But instead of palm hair he had some sort of undefinable spiky hair. He had on what appeared to be animal skins, he didn't have armor or shoe as he was barefoot. His skin was far more human colored then the smaller aliens, his was tan. Just from a mere glance she could tell that this man knew how to fight. His eyes had focused in on her he had seen her movements and could probably tell that she could too.
A bizarre sounding bang went off as the sounds of the screaming along with wrong sounding gunfire. It was this Saiyan's she guessed friends and the strangers fighting. While Chi-Chi and the saiyan were facing each other down Gypsy got up and fired her weapon at the saiyan. The weapon she fired seemed to produce ki. It ejected bright light in little circle at the saiyan which he managed to dodge then fired back.
Chi-Chi thinking quick fire at it allowing the energy to smash into one another and they exploded. Gypsy was thrown back and toss by the explosion into a nearby fallen wall. Chi-Chi heard a thud hopefully Gypsy wasn't too hurt she thought.
She was about ready to try and stop the saiyan when Tuber in his power armor reappeared. He was flying and he fired a beam at the saiyan which he deflected. Tuber charged him and the two had a punching match. Somehow thanks to his armor he was put up a fight with the Saiyan.
Chi-Chi knew however it wouldn't last. The saiyan was untrained but experienced the scars of fights littered his face, arms and legs he was skilled.
The armored man was desperate and was using the wrong skill set which made him slower. It was less a fight between martial artists and instead a fight between soldiers relying on equipment, one's being natural the other's being artificial.
The breaking point came the shields or whatever that were protecting the man were overwhelmed. The saiyan's hand grabbed hold of the arm and pulled it off with ease as Tuber screamed in pain.
Chi-Chi charged into the fray attacking the saiyan as Tuber fell to the ground. She knew this saiyan was stronger than her, but she couldn't him get away with this no more then she could let Kakarrot get away with it.
No matter what she did the saiyan seemed unstopped tanking most of her hits with only the Kamehameha giving him pause. Out of the dust of her attack he grabbed her and said to her "Girl you would make a great saiyan."
Afterwards everything when black as she felt his fist come towards her head.
She woke up a time later. The sun was down, and she was tied up. Bent metal was around her hands and feet. She was on dirt and no longer in the city. She could smell fire and looked in front of her to see a fire along with five saiyan watching it and eating. She looked to see what they were eating and shuttered. It was the people that tried to help her earlier.
The one from earlier heard her move and said, "Well looks like our guest is up." He got up from the sitting around the fire and came over to her. "Now tell me girl where are you from?"
She merely stared daggers at him and he said "Tsk, Tsk. You got the look minus the tail and you got the right attitude, but the smell is off. Now you're either an alien or a Tuffle science experiment." Chi-Chi looked at him curiously. "That right isn't it? I guessed it right? Made to infiltrate us or spread some disease to kill us." He pointed to his wrist were there was a tattoo of some sort. It appeared to be a bar code. "I know all of the Tuffle tricks girl. They aren't fighters their sneaks and backstabbers look at what happen to the last of our King. Shot in the back. In front of his kids. Peace my ass. You're inferior to them. Same as us. So, you have two options die for the people that made you in a lab. Like you were one of their toys to be used and abused or fight back. Tell the King all about what they did to you and fight with us."
Chi-Chi with Kakarrot had become accustomed to search for the lies in this type of person but she could find none. He was corrupt maybe but honest. She saw that he honestly believed in what he said. He believed she was some sort of experiment in the same way that Gyspy was being honest in trying to help her.
He had noticed that she had fixated on the tattoo and said "Let me guess it looks familiar huh? I couldn't find one on you. Maybe they made it hard to spot. You know used to be that they would zap me if I got out of line. I'm sure they did the same too you. Their civilizing lessons you see have some interesting methods to them."
A voice comes from the fire group "They built her, she's one of them boss."
He snarled and barked out "Shut up! This is about getting some revenge and she deserves to get some herself!" Calmer he then said. "You're just as much a victim as the rest of us so why not join us?" He said as foot landed not far from them.
Chi-Chi looked to see a saiyan woman in black over her hair she had a hood her face hidden from the light. She noticed a change in the mood of her captors. They were all now on edge ready to fight or flee. One mumbled the word "Witch." And the others nodded.
Chi-Chi could feel something off about this saiyan she felt quite different from the others even Kakarrot. She felt more like Korin or Kami.
The first saiyan said "Witch! What are you doing here?"
The Witch spoke in an odd manner with a mystical quality she said "Doing my King's will Crassava. Good job on taking the city all of Asci Valley will soon be under our control thanks to your little diversion."
"Well in the diversion I lost one of my soldiers!"
"I didn't say that it wasn't costly but war rarely hasn't a cost."
"Was it your plan Witch?"
"No it was the King's we need to take Asci Valley so we can take Bolete mountain and then Perithecia province and so on and so forth until we slaughter our quarry in the capital which we need to have in place before the moon turns full."
"Why the moon?"
"You have never seen it full have you? The full moon on this planet only happens once every one hundred years. Let us just say that the war in a year or two will be over after that night."
"First the One-eyed, now the Liberator is there a King Vegeta that you won't get your claws in with your nonsense."
"Our King trusts me. Do you doubt his judgement?"
"No. If you want the girl just take her. I have no wish to suffer your unnatural presence any longer."
"Careful now Captain. I might do something to you if you keep talking to me like that."
Crassava in fear moved away from her as the witch came closer. She failed to move her feet as she seemed to hover over to her. The witch flicked her wrist and Chi-Chi started to hover and the two were soon off.
Chi-Chi knew her odds were still bad, but they had improved. One on one was better than one on five. Once Chi-Chi was sure that they were far from the other she broke out of her bonds and attempted to break whatever power was surrounding her. She struggled and kicked at the witch. Which earned a grunt and her saying "Well I guess this place will work as well as any other."
They came to the ground and Chi-Chi felt herself released she charged at the witch. Easily the witch dodged Chi-Chi attacks.
"You've been trained, haven't you?"
Moving in a way she hadn't seen anyone move. The witch moved back, and Chi-Chi used the Solar Flare on her. Chi-Chi fired at her with all her might which seemed to do nothing to the witch. Either she knew it was coming or could sense energy. She has gathered that the other saiyans couldn't do like Kakarrot at the begin.
However, Cheech had done something. The over cloak of the saiyan was mostly burned of revealing something shocking. It was a white robe that at its center had red circle around the symbol for 'Kami'.
Chi-Chi was shocked as she stared at the witch with a magnifying glass. The woman had droopy spikey hair almost reminiscent of a similar palm hair foe of her's. Her eyes were beady with bags to them and her face which screamed of age and wisdom despite her twenty-year-old looking appearance.
The witch looked at her inquisitively "So you know what this means?"
"You're the guardian…"
"Of Vegeta renamed in honor of the dead king."
"I thought you're not supposed to take sides in this kind of fight or something? Why are help murders?"
"So, I'm not suppose help my people survive in their war with a race of cowardly backstabbers. You're not a Tuffle or a Saiyan I wouldn't expect you to understand."
"I understand plenty genocide is easy to figure out."
Witch was offended "You've never lost someone to which you are empty without or nearly lost children, girl. You don't know how far you will be willing to go yet for them. I haven't found my limit yet and I pray you are never forced to find out."
"That justifies all of it?"
"It doesn't matter if it justifies it it's what needs to be done. I was like you once. Stupid, willing to hear lies and weak not in the physical but in the mental. You think we can all get along, but we can't. There are winners and losers and if you want your people to win you need to be ruthless. Better to be strong and wrong then right and dead."
"There has to be a better way."
"There is no better way just what needs to be done and if you don't do it then, there will be no future. Now tell me where you're from."
Chi-Chi shook her head, but the Witch came up to her and placed her hand on Chi-Chi's head. The Witch afterwards seemed distraught. She seemed to babble as her world seemed to crash around her.
"I worked so hard my boys they killed you. My new home dead. My people dead. Frieza! She screamed out as a yellowish light blinded Chi-Chi coming from the Witch. The world then went black for Chi-Chi again.
She awoke standing in the same spot that she was before she had shut her eyes with Mr. Popo staring at her.
"What happened?"
"You closed your eyes. You were gone for seconds in your mind at least."
"That was the past?"
"Yes, but with you added to it."
"There was so much misery there."
"War's you see tend to be miserable things."
She put together what the vision told her "You want me to kill him don't you?"
"Need you to kill him."
"Won't I be like them then?"
"It is either your soul or the world. The choice is you're of course, but the world will have to live with that choice."
