Storm
Added A.N: Parts of this and future chapters is just adjusted
from scenes of the tv show... I ran in to a brick wall for originality and inspiration
sorry bout that...
“Leave her alone Frieza she didn’t do anything to you!” I heard Goku shout out and he
landed down from the sky in front of me. I could tell he’d been training he was still
covered in the sweat from it. All he seemed to do was train and try to perfect this
instant transmission technique.
Frieza smiled. “It’s nice to see that the monkey’s still hang out in packs. It’s easier for
me to find and kill them.” He pulled his hand back and the sphere vanished.
“Leave Frieza you’re not welcome here.” Goku said and in a flash he powered up to
super saiyan with out any worries. I felt my hair flick about my face with the wind
from the golden aura blowing gently. Goku turned and looked at me he touched the
side of my face his expression stern.
“Keep working on the pod Lee.” He said.
I nodded and stepped back to the pod controls. I had become some sort of
grease monkey and in a matter of mere months I knew so much about mechanics I
decided I’d skip the fashion idea for a job when I got back to earth and take up
something like mechanics building space craft for the dragonball world equivalent of
NASA.
I continued to work on the pod just tinkering to start off with while Goku and Frieza
looked at each other.
‘This wasn’t in the series. Their paths weren’t suppose to cross again. At least not
until the afterlife tournament.’ I thought worriedly.
Frieza looked at me and Goku stepped in his line of vision.
“It appears you seem to be stranded monkey’s.” He smirked.
“Not for long Lee will have this pod working.” Goku said. He sounded like he had
every confidence in me. More than what I had in myself I guess that’s why I liked him
even more.
“Really? Well then I’ll see you on Earth.” Frieza said and he turned round and entered
his ship.
The ship took off in a shot of light and I looked at Goku.
“He’s going to earth now?! No we have to stop him.” I panicked it was too soon the
pod was no where done and I hadn’t even trained properly I still had to learn the
proper instant transmission all I could do was blink. Blinking was pretty easy but it
couldn’t work in long distances.
Goku walked up to me and he put his hand on my shoulder and he looked at me.
“I have every confidence in you Lee. Now you just got to have it in yourself the pod
will be ready. I know you’ll make sure of that.” He said.
I smiled uneasily and nodded slowly. “O.oh...kay.” I stammered.
I had never been so close to evil before in my entire life. As a witch I had no true
powers just the typical levitation and future predictions. But I had never seen evil in
alien form before and it’s kinda scary. Actually it was freaky.
Goku looked at me as he powered out of super saiyan. “Lee. When we get to earth
you know we have to act as nothing happened. Just friends okay?”
I nodded. “I know.” I replied.
Goku smiled at me and he walked off and I watched him walk off to train some more
and I sighed and flopped in to the cockpit of the Ginyu pod and frowned. The first
time had been cramped enough this time round though. I couldn’t do it I’d have to
meet Goku there. Being stuck in a small enclosed area with him after what happened
to keep the just friends going I couldn’t. So I started work on a normal pod a copy of
the Ginyu force pod as well.
I worked over time- if there is such a thing when you’re not getting paid for this kind
of work- well until Goku forced me to take breaks to sleep. But over time I worked I
worked. Goku was being so nice like he was in the show and his usual naive self. We
got the routine of get up breakfast, train and spar, while he perfected the instant
transmission I worked on the pods and then we’d train some more, then lunch, back to
the pods for me and Goku would train solo up until dinner, then we’d train and then
sleep.. it was like that for a whole month straight occasionally we’d get caught up in a
bit more than train but it was expected. It was about two weeks left till Frieza’s
predicted arrival via the tv show that I managed to finish the pods.
I ran off to find Goku to tell him. I caught him in a mid day nap under the sun. I
jumped on to him and he woke up quickly and looked at me standing on his
stomach.
“I used to do this to my uncle Dom alot he said it helped him work his abs out.” I
grinned.
Goku nodded and he smiled. “Good news?” He asked.
“I finished, so we just get what we want and we go. It should take about two weeks to
get there... hopefully with the new boosters I put in we can beat Frieza’s ship smaller
is always faster.” I said.
Goku sat up and I jumped off his stomach. “Well then lets go!” he said.
“Goku there are two pods. Not that I don’t have anything against travelling with you.
In fact I’d prefer it. But I don’t trust myself with you so I have a separate pod.” I
explained as we ran back to the area we were staying.
Goku nodded. “Okay so are we going to have a race then. If you beat me to earth hold
Frieza off till I get there. I know you can. You’re about as strong as Vegeta is when I
last fought him, it should be just about enough. But don’t make Frieza mad so he’d
kill you.” Goku said.
The two of us entered the room and we grabbed out change of clothes I folded up the
only outfit I owned and put it in a bag and changed in to the baggy Yardrat pants and
shirt.
“I’m not stupid Goku but Vegeta’s on earth I’m sure he can handle it if not Trun...
aaah Tien...” I corrected quickly.
I watched Goku’s back as he changed and he spoke. “I know Tien’s strong I told you
he was but I’m not sure he could take on Frieza.”
“From what you’ve told me it doesn’t matter if he’s strong enough or not he will take
him on anyway.” I replied.
Goku turned round and he looked at me as he slid the armour on over his head.
“Wow so you actually have been listening to what I’ve been saying most of the time.”
He smiled and I blushed suddenly, I hadn’t actually been listening, it was just cause I
felt like I knew the z team like the back of my hand.
“Well I... ah...” I stammered.
Goku’s mouth covered mine suddenly and instinctively my hands snaked up to round
his neck as he kissed me, and I kissed him back.
He pulled back and looked at me I was suddenly puzzled.
“Goku?” I began in question.
“This is the last time I’m going to be seeing you as I have been.” he said.
I nodded understanding. “Lets go then.” I said.
I grabbed my small ‘in fashion’ Yardratian bag.
We ran outside and said our thanks and good bye to the people of Yardrat.
I threw my bag in to the pod I created. Did I trust my handiwork? Hell no! But I
wasn’t going to stick Goku in it because Earth needed him. It didn’t need me.
As I was about to get in I felt Goku grab my arm and pull me back and I spun round
slamming in to his chest I looked up at him. He gave me one last kiss. I didn’t
understand we were going to see each other again. I guess it just wasn’t in the way we
wanted to.
“Fly easy okay Lee?” He said softly.
“And the race is on this is going to be my turn to beat you at something!” I grinned.
Goku chuckled. “We’ll just see.”
I knew he loved a challenge and being round him I’d learned to love them too.
We both jumped in to our pods and the hatches closed down.
I pushed the button and the co-ordinates flashed on the screen. “Ready for take off
Leona.” The female voice remarked.
“Gotta love it.” I grinned and the pod started up and it took off lightening fast.
The flight was pretty good and the status I had created helped me sleep for two whole
weeks. I only woke up when the computer beeped at me and a female voice
remarked.
“Twenty minutes to landing Leona...” I flicked my hair off my face I had hair clips
and pins but I had no hair tie I had to be stupid and die without one didn’t I?
The pod crashed in to the ground with such force I felt if I’d been in a car and without
a seat belt I would of flown through the windscreen. The hatched opened and I
climbed out shakily and looked round then up the pod had created a large crater. I
grabbed the scouter I’d adjusted. It appeared the Ginyu force had brought more
scouters. I floated upwards and I looked around. The area was deserted.
“Wow I guess my landing is a bit off.” I said to myself, I instantly felt a gathering of
power levels and an incoming power level. “Gah too many powers here... lets see...” I
put the scouter over the side of my head. I clicked the button once and looked up. The
numbers flicked across the screen in an unreadable language. “ergh incoming high
power levels two of them. has to be Frieza and King Cold.” I looked over to the west
where there were several power levels. Then a bit further over a solo power level on
it’s own. “Trunks.” I breathed. the demi saiyan was already there. I powered up and I
flew towards the group power levels I promised Goku I’d stall Frieza and I was
planning on. Unless Trunks bet me to the punch.
I saw everybody gathered together and I saw them look up at me and I landed. and
looked round I checked the scouter again and I looked up. I saw Goku’s power level
at least two hours behind Frieza’s.
“What the devil?” Vegeta remarked and he looked at me.
I looked at him the group of them stared at me. “I got sent to stall Frieza before Goku
arrives.” I said.
“You’ve heard from my dad?!” Gohan asked excitedly.
I smiled at him. He was so cute in person every bit adorable even in the saiyan
armour. “Yeah your dad sent me... he’s a friend. Saved my life and I owe him this
much.” I replied.
I saw Yamcha, Tien and Chaoitsu look at me. Tien’s eyes falling on my tail.
“It’s called at tail.” I drooled.
Tien looked at me. “How do we know we can trust you?” He asked.
I brushed the hair from my face. “Because if I wanted to take over you’d already be
dead.” I bluffed. I was no where able to take all of them on.
“I guess that’s good enough for me.” Yamcha replied with a shrug. He seemed pretty
casual about me but being as he looked like he accepted Vegeta I didn’t really mind.
I smiled to myself he was also really cute in person and I scolded myself. But I knew
he wouldn’t last long with Bulma. But then there was this mystery person he was to
meet. There was always Trunks. I guess I was already looking a future possibilities
for mates and my hand touched my neck where the scar was from when Goku bit me.
I’d gotten over old boyfriends in twelve hours it had been two weeks so I was clean
Goku free of emotion at least until I saw him again. Yamcha looked at me looking at
him and he looked at Bulma.
Vegeta yanked at my tail and spun round startling him and hitting him with a clean
side kick to his ribs. He stumbled back but didn’t fall over. He glared at me.
“Don’t touch the tail.” I said in my best threatening voice pointing a finger at him.
He smirked at me. “Strange how Kakarott should meet another saiyan out there.
Female too. The both of you alone in space.”
I looked at Vegeta in shock he was already accusing me and Goku. I wondered why I
put my hand up over the scar.
“Don’t piss me off Vegeta. You won’t like me when I’m mad cause I swear I’ll blast
you to the next dimension no one will miss you here I’ve heard what you’ve done to
these people getting rid of you would be a favour to them.” I growled in
annoyance.
“How’d you know his name?” Krillen asked.
I blinked and looked at Krillen and held up my tail and waved it about. “See this?”
Krillen nodded.
“It’s called a tail... Saiyans have tails... see him.” I jerked my thumb towards Vegeta.
“He’s the prince of saiyans...”
Krillen’s face faltered as he looked at me.
I was already rubbing them the wrong way.
I must of only arrived seconds after Krillen and Gohan cause I heard Piccolo shout.
“He’s here!!!”
We all turned and looked as Frieza’s ship flew in to view. I blinked it was Frieza
alright he didn’t seem to change his ship much. I looked to the side as everyone
looked freaked. I looked over to Piccolo who was just staring up at the ship. I smirked
even Piccolo looked cute. I scolded myself I was being really teenager about the guys.
When more important things were happening. Frieza was landing and he was landing
fast.
The ship flew right over our heads and over Piccolo’s. I clicked the scouter to check
the power levels there were at least fifteen weaker power levels than the main too
scattered all throughout the ship.
“Looks like he’s brought some friends to come and play.” I muttered.
The ship lingered and I saw by Piccolo’s face he had seen them both Frieza and his
father through the glass. Everyone was silent as the ship flew off I heard a few
shocked gasps come from the Z-team. But I was over confidante. After all the scouter
had picked up Trunks. Sure it was only a low power level he was suppressing it. But
who else would be this far out in the middle of nowhere near where Frieza was going
to land.
“He’s landing just over that ridge!” Krillen shouted and I started to run towards
it.
“What are you crazy?” Yamcha shouted after me not only could I see Frieza’s power
level on the scouter I could sense it my wiccan training helped me with that sort thing.
and I was glad for it.
I stopped running and looked back at their shocked faces. I looked over as the ship
landed I knew Trunks would show in a few minutes. I stook there staring while
everyone was silent ‘I guess I should lets Trunks handle it.’ I thought even
though I promised Goku. Trunks I knew was a super saiyan. I was not.
The silence ran along with whimpers and other gasp of shock like noises coming from
everyone. I stood in front of them all. ‘I guess it couldn’t hurt to hang back with
them.’ I thought to myself.
“Now there’s no room for mistakes.” Vegeta’s voice interrupted and I stopped and
looked back at him. He was looking over his shoulder at the z-team.
“Huh?” Yamcha remarked.
“We’ve all got to keep our power levels suppressed or else Frieza will pick us up on
his scouters.” Vegeta continued.
I looked at the group of them Gohan was still staring off looking in total shock.
Piccolo placed his hand on Gohan’s shoulder. “Ready?” Piccolo asked.
Gohan looked up at him in admiration. “A-heh.” Gohan chuckled with a nod. Piccolo
nodded back at him. The two had a defiant friendship going.
I just walked away from the group of them. I didn’t see why I had to hang around
there. When the Trunks show was about to start. I was the in between. I looked down
to the side to see a lone bug crawl up over a rock looking like it was escaping.
‘I want to be back with my family and friends.’ I thought sadly.
I felt cold all of a sudden like the loneliness was taking over.
“This is crazy, I’ve never felt anything anywhere close to the amount of power I’m
sensing right now.” Yamcha spoke up in a panic stricken voice.
I looked over at him. I remembered watching him on the series and seeing how brave
he’d been at the beginning when fighting the sabimen I frowned. ‘maybe dying
made him realise that life was just to short.’ I thought to myself.
“I hate to say it Yamcha. But this only the tip of the iceberg.” Gohan spoke up.
“There’s no way we’re going to last very long against a massive force like that.” Tien
added in his own almost scared voice. He never actually sounded fully scared I
suppose that’s Tien’s character. He’s always made me go hmmm anyways.
I rolled my eyes. “Gee ya think?” I drooled.
“Shut your mouth girl.” Vegeta snapped.
I looked over my shoulder at Vegeta then off to where Frieza had landed listening to
them talk through the lines I’d heard a million times before while watching the show.
“Hey you guys were kidding right?” Yamcha asked I watched as he backed up a bit.
The poor guy seemed to be on edge. “I mean you’re not suggesting that we attack
him?” He asked.
I frowned for a little bit I knew they were worried but if only I could say it would be
okay. And that the androids, Cell and Buu were the upcoming ones to worry about.
But I doubted I would be around for Buu.
“Like Tien said, we’d all be wiped out.” Yamcha added.
“You sure do panic alot.” I muttered.
Vegeta chuckled and looked at me. “You seem pretty confidante girl. Have you
fought Frieza yet?” He asked.
“Oh no but lets just say he wasn’t to thrilled when I watched Goku blast him.” I
replied. It seemed our conversation wasn’t being acknowledged but I didn’t
mind.
“I’m telling you Frieza is a monster and attacking him is suicide.” Yamcha
panicked.
I felt like saying ‘No suicide was standing out in a storm and holding your hands
high for lightening to strike so you would die and no longer feel heart ache.’ I
looked down. I was such a coward escaping like that. Maybe this was my second
chance at life to live a life I always wanted, near to the characters I adored the most.
I’d probably be perfect for Yamcha. I took the cowards way out. I wish I had my
friends to comfort me like he had to comfort him in this time. I didn’t need them
cause I was scared. I needed them so I could say I was sorry. My mission was to
protect my friends and family from harm. I couldn’t do that now.
“But we have to try Yamcha.” Piccolo spoke up.
“Huh?” Yamcha looked at Piccolo.
“Unless we stop Frieza right here and now you may as well kiss the entire planet
goodbye.” Piccolo added.
Krillen and Gohan looked down. Yamcha still looked scared.
“Pssssh everything will be sweet.” I remarked then covered my mouth as everyone
looked at me. I forgot I was just a little intruder to their gathering. “Ignore me.”
“Ohhhh...” I heard Chaoitsu whine.
“He’s right you know. You really have no choice.” Vegeta remarked.
They were doing a pretty good job of ignoring me.
“So whats say we put an end to all this pathetic whimpering and go find Frieza...
before he finds us.” Vegeta added with an eeriness to his voice.
I walked off from the group towards where Frieza’s ship had landed.
“Wait a minute. You didn’t tell us your name? And are you going to help us fight
Frieza?” Krillen asked.
I looked back at Krillen and I nodded. “I’m a friend that’s all you need to know. I’m
here because Goku wants me to help until he can arrive. He’s on his way. Don’t
worry, he maybe exceptionally late on numerous occasions but he never lets ya
down.” I replied. I knew that was the typical comment you heard often.
The group of us headed towards the ship jumping up and down over rocks and
climbing low and keeping our power level suppressed. I saw Yamcha lagging behind
and I knew what he was thinking and I placed a hand on his shoulder in comfort.
“Don’t worry.” I remarked. Before leaping up on to the rock my tail swishing I bit my
lower lip and smiled at the thought of witnessing Trunks first hand taking care of
Frieza uninterrupted and unedited, unlike on television.
I stood on the cliff edge with Gohan who was helping Bulma up as Yamcha called up
to us. His voice shaky. “I. I don’t think I can do this you guys.” Yamcha said.
“Yamcha Goku is coming I know he is we set a course together. My ship just bet his
because I created it myself. And with all of us I’m sure we can hold Frieza off for a
couple of hours till Goku arrives.” I called down.
Yamcha stood there his head lowered. I jumped down from the cliff face and landed
next to him and looked at him. “I wish I had your confidence.” He said.
I smiled and looked at him he blinked and looked at me.
“Anyone tell you you look cute when you’re panicked?” I asked.
Yamcha blinked and I chuckled. “Now c’mon together we can do this, we need
you.”
He nodded. “At least tell me your name.” He said quietly.
“Goku calls me Lee. I never told him my full name but for you it’s Leona.” I said
quietly hoping Piccolo wouldn’t hear. “So shhhh just our secret okay?”
Yamcha then began his climb I followed him from behind and as we reached the cliff
top I just knew that Trunks was on the scene with Frieza and I smiled.
The group of us stood on the ground and they looked over in the distance at the
general area of Frieza’s ship and I pulled some gum out of the pocket of the pants and
I popped a couple of pieces in to my mouth and began to chew.
“What is that?” Vegeta asked.
“It’s called P.K.” I replied with a grin.
“What?” Yamcha asked.
“Ummmm... chewing gum.” I replied.
“Oh.” Yamcha looked at me. “They have chewing gum in outer space?”
I paused and noticed Piccolo and Vegeta look at me.
“Um... yes?” I replied.
Yamcha sweatdropped. “I was asking you.”
Vegeta growled in annoyance. I was so busted. “Girl this better not be a trick and you
better not be one of Frieza’s men or else-” He began.
Suddenly the gang all picked up on Trunks power level. I could tell I could feel it
myself just not exactly where it was. I looked at Bulma who looked at me.
“Oooh the show’s about to begin, and I forgot my popcorn.” I grinned which earned
me a few strange looks from the group of them.
“Guys... hey what’s going on?” Bulma asked.
“I’m sensing another huge power level, and it’s ah...” Krillen began.
“And this one makes Freiza seem like nothing.” Tien finished.
“You know knows it’s not to late we could still turn around and go home if we want...
right?” Yamcha asked his voice falling softly.
“Be strong Yamcha.” Tien spoke up.
I looked over a Vegeta who’s expression looked pissed. But to me he always looked
angry. I guess that’s why alot of woman and girls found him attractive in the world
where I came from. I knew this was the segment where Vegeta would have his
thoughts of the strength of Trunks power and how it’s impossible. Such a positive
man this one...
I tapped the button on the side of the scouted and I checked it out for myself. Man I
love the scouter things they were so simple to use and I have a weakness for pushing
buttons. Okay it’s a stupid weakness to have considering I was probably about as all
knowledgeable as my uncle now. But still it’s a weakness. That and the toy
department where you can push toy buttons... man me and Iris together. It’s her
weakness too, but hers is worst than mine... honest!!
The scouter beeped as the power level rose and rose and rose. “Whoa... this guy is a
strong mutha-” I stopped as I felt Vegeta pull the scouter off and check it for
himself.
“Hey ow!!!” I growled
“Impossible.” he breathed as he checked the scouter. He seemed in disbelief.
I pulled the scouter back. “Mine! I stole it fair and square.” I growled.
Vegeta glared at me angrily.
“You stole it fair and square?” Bulma looked at me. “What’d you do pull it off a body
of the Ginyu force?” She asked.
“No It was just sitting in the Ginyu space pod and it was beeping so I um took it
they’re all dead as if they’re going to miss it.” I remarked.
“How’d you know the Ginyu force is dead?” Gohan asked.
“Um... Goku talks alot?” I replied uncertain.
“Girl you are beginning to bug me.” Vegeta growled.
“Can you at least tell us your name. And why are you here?” Tien asked.
“No I’m not saying my name... but I can tell you Goku talked me in to coming here.
He’s a hard person to say no to.” I wasn’t lying there. “Except when it comes to
eating he’s always yes and eating more and more... and I’ve slid off topic so I’m
going to shut up.” I looked over to where the scouter picked up Trunks and the
scouter beeped hurriedly and the strange language flashed across the screen.
“Whoa.. Tru... ah this dude is pumped.” I pushed the button flicking the scouter
off.
“Why’d you do that?” Yamcha asked.
“I’m going to need this I don’t want it exploding besides these earings can be easily
damaged. Do you know how much they cost me?” I asked.
Yamcha blinked. “Uh no how much?”
“I don’t know they were bought for me by my ex boyfriend.” I replied.
Yamcha sweatdropped. I smiled at him at least he didn’t seem to be
as panicked.
“Well lets go see this battle. Aren’t you guys the least bit curious as in to see who this
guy is?” I asked heading off first.
I heard Bulma sigh. “Why can’t there be any strong female fighters ever attacking.”
“Well female fighters aren’t as cute as guys are at least to me they’re not.” I grinned
over my shoulder as the group of us made a move on.
To Be Continued...
