A Traitor To The Cause
It was all over, Frieza had been killed along with Goku when Namek had exploded, everyone was safe on earth, and the Nameks and Vegeta had been living at the Capsule Corporation compound for almost a month now. But was it really over? A single figure watched a pair of unknowing warriors, Krillen and Gohan, go shopping for Gohan’s mom, Chichi. The figure watched as the two walked out of the store and observed. There was no way these two had destroyed the Ginyu Force.
"Hey Gohan! Do you sense that?" Krillen asked as he set the groceries in his car.
"Yeah…I do. Do you think its Yamcha…or Tien?" Gohan asked. Krillen shook his head.
"No I know what there KI’s feel like…this is different," he replied.
"Look Krillen! Up there…on the roof!" Gohan yelled, he had spotted the figure that was watching them. They agreed that they should investigate it. When they reached the roof the figure didn’t move.
"Um…can we help you?" Krillen asked. The figure remained silent. Both Krillen and Gohan moved towards the silent figure and it remained motionless.
"Are you…" Krillen started to ask, but the figure shot out and kicked Krillen to the far side of the roof and Gohan soon followed.
"Oh, wow…she’s strong!" Krillen yelled to Gohan. The girl once again stood facing them, not moving or talking.
"Krillen…she’s just…she’s just standing there," Gohan stated. Just then she surged forward, kicked Krillen to the side and grabbed Gohan by his shirt collar.
"Hey! Let him go!" Krillen yelled when he got up. The girl turned to face him, still holding on to Gohan, and smirked at him. The smirk was very familiar yet Krillen didn’t know where he’d seen it before.
"If you don’t want Jr. here to get hurt any more, you’ll tell me where Vegeta is," she said.
"Huh? Vegeta?" Krillen asked. The woman tightened her grip on Gohan’s collar.
"He’s…he’s at Capsule Corp." Gohan said. The woman dropped him and gave an evil sounding laugh.
"Thanks…I’ll keep my word then," she said and kicked Gohan towards Krillen, then she vanished.
"Gohan…are you okay?" Krillen asked as Gohan stood up.
"Yeah…I’ll be fine. I wonder why she wanted to know where Vegeta is?" he asked.
"I don’t know…but we’d better go warn Bulma and Vegeta…" Krillen said as he and Gohan abandoned his car and took off towards Capsule Corp.
" Perfect…now all I have to do is follow them to Vegeta," the woman thought as she followed behind the two warriors. Krillen and Gohan landed at Capsule Corp. and ran into the main building.
"CAN’T YOU TWO COME INTO A ROOM LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" Bulma screeched at them.
"Where’s Vegeta?" Krillen asked looking around quickly.
"Huh? Why?" she asked.
"Because…we’re going to have a fight on our hands in a minute," Gohan said. Vegeta walked into the kitchen just then to see what Bulma was yelling at, thinking it might have been her poor excuse for a boyfriend.
"There you are," Krillen said.
"What do you want crome dome?" he asked coldly.
"There’s a warrior…looking for you…" he replied. Vegeta looked at him in shock, then they all sensed the power that was hovering just outside the building so they all rushed out side, even Bulma.
"Well, well, well Vegeta. Nice place you got here. Long time no see," the figure said.
"The feeling is mutual," he replied.
"You look so surprised to see me,"
"You’re supposed to be dead,"
"No…I don’t think so. You however…will be dead. You’re a traitor to our cause, Vegeta."
"Our cause, no longer exists. Frieza is dead!" Vegeta yelled.
"Ha! You think that Cold wouldn’t rebuild his own son? I’m here on special order to destroy you. Frieza and Cold want your head brought back to them on a platter," she said.
"What! Frieza!" Krillen yelled. Vegeta shot him an angry look.
"Fine! Take this!" the girl yelled and whipped an energy blast at Vegeta. He jumped out of the way and flung his own attack back towards her. But she dodged it with ease. When Vegeta flew past her he caught her arm with a KI blast and she cringed as it charged her flesh.
"You can’t win, brother!" she yelled as she threw multiple KI blasts at him.
"Krillen…did she just say brother?" Gohan asked.
"I’m stronger than you think, Catauna," Vegeta said.
"As am I," she yelled as she dodged his attack. The fighting continued until Vegeta stopped in mid attack and looked at her.
"What did he do to you this time? Did he just beat you? Or did he find another way to hurt you?" Vegeta taunted. Catuana stopped in mid air.
"You have no idea what they did to me! You’ll never know!" she yelled at him, drawing blood from the palms of her hands as her nails dug into the soft flesh.
"I can guess," he said as he flew towards her and extended his hand.
"I can’t…Frieza is still alive and if I don’t return within a certain number of days…he’ll come here himself…I’ve been fitted with a small transmitter…I’m sorry, brother, you are not the traitor…I am. You should just kill me now," she said. Vegeta stared shocked at her.
"I won’t kill you…I do know somewhat of what they did to you…hmph…besides, if Frieza is still alive, you can help fight him," Vegeta said. Krillen and the others watched shocked, Vegeta had never shown sympathy towards anyone, not even Nappa. They all watched as the woman shrugged off Vegeta’s offer.
"I can’t…no…I can’t lead Frieza to you. SELF DESTRUCT!" she called as she flew straight up in the air.
"NO! DON’T!" Vegeta yelled then shielded his eyes from the explosion, "DAMN YOU FRIEZA!" Vegeta yelled into the air. He landed on the ground and turned to Krillen and Gohan.
"You two had better start training…Freiza’s coming back," he said as he walked into the training room. No one saw the tears that threatened to fall, but he held them back. He would find a way to bring her back to life. And he would make Frieza pay dearly for what he had done to his home planet, and his sister.
