Hiya all! Ok, I’ve decided that majority wins and I won’t have a separate part for Seirra, besides, it makes more sense for her to tell her story during her fight with Vegeta. So she will get to tell her story then. So hopefully that’ll explain more about her, but I’m not going to go into great detail for her.

Now to clear some things up. From one of my reviews from Dunno. About the power levels… Well actually, I just made up numbers, so, well, if you have a problem about them being too high, sorry, just bear with this universe k? It’s an A/U so who know what happened before this. There could’ve been other aliens trying to destroy the planet before and so it is quite possible for them to have fought before, I’m just not telling the story about those fights. Is 5’8 really short for Goku? Hmn… Really??? Damn… Ok, well I’m not gonna go back and change it, but that certainly gives me something to think about it. LOL NE ways, thanks for the review, I’ll try to make things a little more detailed so it won’t confuse ya. Ok, here is Chapter 5. Enjoy!

“Vegeta, I’ve finished the laser gun. It’s quite powerful, and by my calculations, it should kill you, if it hits you any where.”

Vegeta looked at her, “Tell me about the laser?”

“Ok, well not only is just a laser that could kill you if it hits you in a vital spot, but it kills you if it hits you any where because I have inserted an element that will dampen your ki. I guess you could say it is ki dampening. Therefore, if it hits you in a vital spot like your brain, your heart, or even the nerves in your back, you would instantly die. But if it hits you in your arm, you wouldn’t die instantly but you would slowly lose your power and then it would gradually shut down your brain giving you a slow, painful death.”

Vegeta nodded in approval, “Though I would love to test it out, it seems as though it would be unwise to do so, and we will just have to wait till I can use it on Freeza.” Bulma smiled, *I just can’t tell her about the girl saiyan, I can’t have her worrying even more.*

Vegeta started heading towards the door, “Vegeta where are you going now?”

“I have to go do some training, and train that son of Kakkorot, Gohan.”

“What… Why?!” But before Bulma got a chance to ask him more, Vegeta flew out of the house.

Vegeta knocked at Goku’s door. Goku answered and with a friendly smile said, “Hey Vegeta, Gohan’ll be out in a moment.”

Vegeta stayed outside waiting until he heard Gohan run outside, “Hi Vegeta,” Gohan looked up at him with a big smile.

Vegeta stared back at him, “We have about three months to prepare for this battle. Lets go over there.” Vegeta pointer to an area of rocky hills and mountains and next to those a small forest. Gohan nodded and they flew over to their new training grounds.

Finally, after seven hours of training, it was time for lunch. Vegeta tried to improve Gohan’s basic techniques, but that only took four hours and Gohan had them down, perfectly. Vegeta stared at his food in thought, *He is very strong for a boy his age. I’m very surprised at his talent.* Vegeta turned to Gohan, “Have you ever trained before this?”

“Yeah, Mr. Piccolo trained me a long time ago. But my mother made him stop because she said I needed to study more.” Gohan looked down as if ashamed.

Vegeta shook his head, *Someone with such talent should focus more on training than on studying.* As soon as Vegeta and Gohan finished their meals, Vegeta stood up and said to Gohan, “Come, let us train some more.”

Bulma sat in her office examining the laser gun, making sure there were no mistakes. She was quite proud of her invention. She gazed wonderingly at it, *Why would Vegeta want something this powerful? Is he afraid that he isn’t strong enough to beat Freeza?* Her mind spun with questions that always remained unanswered. She finally left her office and went to her room, flopping onto her bed. She thought about the kiss Vegeta had given her so spontaneously weeks ago. Yes, she might have had sex with him before… But that kiss seemed to have meant more to her. It was passionate and so impulsive that it made her love him and make her want to help him even more. *And the way he looked into my eyes… It was as if he were searching for something or like he had found something in them he hadn’t seen in a long time. And how he held me in an embrace as if he were afraid… Afraid of what though…* She touched her lips and giggled, she had fallen for an alien. *It is so weird how our destinies collided, but then again, what do I know of a man’s destiny.*

“COME ON GOHAN! IS THAT ALL YOU GOT!” Vegeta’s Big Bang Attack was engulfing Gohan’s puny Kame Ha Me Ha wave. Vegeta stopped his attack and dodged the wave. He flew over to Gohan and picked him up by the collar of his shirt, “Why are you holding back! I know you have more than that. You need to stop thinking you are going to hurt me and look at me as the enemy!” Vegeta threw him down and turned around, “Gah, just like his father, too gentle. Maybe I should just give up trying to train you. We have one and a half months before Freeza comes, If you can’t handle this, you can’t handle HIM!” Vegeta started to walk off, *I hope this reverse psychology works.*

“No wait,” Gohan coughed, “I can fight, I can handle it.” Gohan started to get up.

Vegeta smirked and turned around, “Why should I?”

Gohan stood up and powered up, his cry echoing through the mountains. Vegeta’s eyes widened as he watched Gohan’s power level rise on his scouter. “Unbelievable! 1,500,000!”

:::Bulma jumped up and down as she read Vegeta’s power level. “2,000,000! Vegeta, that is just as strong as Freeza! I’m so proud of you!” Vegeta didn’t hoop and holler like her… It wasn’t strong enough though. Yeah he had said Freeza had a power level of 2,000,000. But that was only in his first form, and he was sure that once Freeza saw that they matched strength in that form, he would quickly evolve to his 2^nd, 3^rd, or even final form. “Aren’t you happy Vegeta?”

Bulma looked at him questioning, “No… It is good that my strength has risen so, but I said his power level was 2,000,000 because I have only met him in his 1^st form. I know that once he sees me and my strength matching his own. He will soon evolve to his numerous stronger forms.” Bulma looked down in disappointment.

“Well you won’t know until you fight him.”:::

Gohan’s power stayed stable for almost 10 minutes as Vegeta watched in awe. *This kid has a lot of strength and self determination.* And then, Gohan collapsed. Vegeta walked over to Gohan and patted his head, “You did good kid.”

Vegeta carried Gohan back to Goku’s home. Vegeta knocked on his door, “Hi Vegeta… Wow, it looks like Gohan had quite a day today.”

Vegeta handed Gohan to his father, “Tell him tomorrow morning to go to Capsule Corp., I am going to start training him in the gravity machine.” Vegeta flew off before Goku could ask any questions.

The days came and the days passed and Vegeta and Gohan trained continuously. And though their power levels rose, Vegeta never once celebrated. He knew it was never quite enough.

“Vegeta, do you think they are going to come today?” Gohan stared up at Vegeta in Capsule Corp.’s kitchen. Bulma stood back allowing the two to talk.

Vegeta looked down on Gohan, “Yes, I can sense his power. Now listen to me, I don’t want you to fight until I tell you to. I want you to stay far from the battle and lay low. I don’t want Freeza to see you.” Gohan nodded. “Now go to the gravity machine and train while I talk to Bulma.”

Bulma turned to Vegeta trying to hold back her tears, “So you really are going to have to fight him?”

Vegeta stared forward at her, “Yeah. May I have my gun?” Bulma slipped it into a case and handed it to Vegeta who slung it over his shoulder. He wore his saiyan armor and walked over to Bulma and stood before her, “Don’t be sad.”

Bulma looked up at him, she still held her tears back, “Why?”

Vegeta held her shoulders, “I have told you many times why.”

“Vegeta, make me promise, and come back alive.” Vegeta looked down and wrapped his tail around her waist and kissed her lightly on the lips. “Vegeta, promise me… Promise me Vegeta!” Vegeta shook his head and began to walk out the door. “Vegeta please promise me!” This time Bulma could no longer hold her tears back, they streamed freely down her face. Vegeta’s heart ached as he saw her blue eyes filled sadness.

His ebony eyes stared back at her blankly, “I can’t.” He began to walk away from her, trying to leave her and cause her no more pain.

“Then Vegeta,” She whispered, “Tell me you love me.”

Vegeta looked back at her, his mind flooding of flash backs where he discovered emotions, such as loved, only caused weakness and pain. He had known Bulma for three months, but he kept trying to convince himself that he didn’t love her, even though deep inside he knew that he did. Vegeta couldn’t tell her he loved her because he didn’t know how to show it. “Love…” He too whispered, “I can not love.” He couldn’t stand it, watching her fall to her knees crying; he could live with himself any more as he had stood and watched her, and so he ran to the gravity machine and yanked Gohan out, flying to meet Freeza’s ship when it would land. *At least when he kills me, I’ll relieve the pain for someone.*

* * * * *

“Seirra,” Freeza said her name as they looked out the window in his quarters, “We are here.” Seirra looked upon the planet Earth. Vegeta stood down there and she would kill him.

“I want you to wait here and I’ll go get my smaller ship ready, ok?” Seirra nodded as she flopped down onto the couch. She was wearing her usual fighting outfit that consisted of a short black fighting skirt and a sleeveless tight silver shirt, along with a black see-through robe and black boots.

*I can’t believe I’m actually going to do this. Maybe I shouldn’t… Maybe I should just not kill him…* Her thoughts ran wild with doubts of what she was about to do. She felt she had to fight Vegeta because of how she felt about Freeza, but were those feelings worth destroying her own kind?! “Come Seirra, it is time.” Freeza led Seirra into the small ship.

“I’m going to send you down there alone, I have to return to the ship because I have some matters to take care of. Keep Vegeta busy and kill him if you wish. Good luck.” Freeza reached out and stroked Seirra’s face, “I know you can beat him.”

Seirra was teleported in a deserted part of the world. It was a long flat area and Seirra seated herself on a rock staring across the dusty land. She could sense Vegeta approaching, along with another large power. *Hmn… I wonder who that other power could be?* Seirra sat, her legs crossed as her tail swayed behind her excitedly. The wind blew through her blood soaked hair and she smiled as she saw him land.

Vegeta made sure Gohan was far from where he would fight. He punched the button on his scouter and located his first battle. It wasn’t with Freeza, it was going to be with the saiyan woman. He growled and said to Gohan, “Stay here and don’t move till I tell you to. Here, take my scouter, I don’t think I will need it.” Gohan took the scouter from Vegeta’s hand and put it on himself.

“Vegeta?”

“Yes.”

“Good luck.”

Vegeta nodded and flew towards the battlefield. He was going to teach that woman a lesson.

He landed a distance away from Seirra. He could see her smiling and her tail lilt behind her. His own tail was wrapped around his waist as he glared at her. She lifted her head, her own black eyes meeting his, “Hello, Vegeta. I am Seirra.”

Vegeta looked at her trying to seem unafraid. “Who are you? Why are you working for Freeza. You should join me.”

Seirra looked at him and shook her head laughing. “You just wouldn’t understand. Here let me end this QUICKLY!” Seirra grabbed her sword for her case and flew directly at Vegeta. Her scream rung as she brought the sword down upon Vegeta. Vegeta stepped to the left of her and laughed. “Damn you,” Sierra gritted between her teeth. Vegeta kneed her in her gut sending her flying towards the ground.

Vegeta spat on her, “You are too weak to fight me.”

“Oh, Vegeta, don’t be so sure.” She jumped up and punched him in the face. He punched her in the stomach. They exchanged blows quickly but Seirra soon got the best of him as she got him in got him in a strangled hold, with Vegeta on the bottom. “Well, I guess this is the end.” Seirra raised her sword high and as it was about to strike Vegeta, but he disappeared.

“HAHAHAHAHA! Stupid woman. You think it would be that easy?!” Vegeta kicked her back sending her to fall on her face in the sand; her sword flying a good couple meters from her. Vegeta rested his boot on her head. “Give me one good reason I shouldn’t crush you now.”

Seirra coughed as the pressure increased on her head. Her hands gripped the dirt, “I can give you a very good reason.” Vegeta laughed, his tail swinging excitedly.

“Oh, you can?!” Vegeta smirked, “Why?”

Seirra snaked her tail up Vegeta’s leg and yanked it away from her head and he fell on his back. “That’s why… Would you actually destroy a saiyan with such talent?”

Seirra flicked some hair over her shoulder and dusted off her outfit and giggled lightly. She went over to pick up her sword replacing it back in its case.

“Bitch,” Vegeta coughed out, “Wrench.”

Seirra glared at him, “Why? Jealous you can’t have me?”

Vegeta got up and looked at her, “I have found someone much better,” he scoffed.

“Oh is that so, a nice earthling chick for my prince huh?” She pulled out her sword again. “One more try?”

Vegeta blinked out of view and Seirra couldn’t find him, “Show yourself!”

Vegeta appeared right in front of her, “Ok!” Vegeta punched her, square between the eyes sending her crashing into the mountains. He stood there for a couple of minutes wondering if she was ever going to get up again. “Are you dead already?!”

Seirra crawled out holding her arm. Her whole body was scraped and gashed and blood poured out of every scratch. “Damn you, you think you can kill me that easily?”

Vegeta smirked, “Actually, yeah”

Seirra glared at him. Vegeta sat down on a rock, “So aren’t you going to tell me where the hell you came from and why you want to kill the last of your kind?”

Seirra stood, *Is he giving me a brake?*. “Fine then, I will tell you my life.”

“Fine with me, you’re gonna die soon enough, might as well let me know who you are.”

She looked at him and pulled her hair back, clearing her throat she began to tell him of her life. “I can’t begin to explain why I was brought into this world, all I know is that my parents, my two saiyan parents, were in love. Love is a word most saiyans can’t comprehend or even begin to understand.”

Vegeta looked down in guilt when she mentioned love, he had denied love for his mate. Seirra continued, “My father was an elite, and as you know, elite soldiers usually don’t bond, but mine did. He found true happiness in the arms of my mother, Levera. My mother, though, was from a third class family and my father, Dature, was shunned because of how he felt. How other saiyans were brought up without people caring for them is beyond me.”

“My father trained me so that I wouldn’t be weak. He even taught me to control and fight in my oozaru form; however, I now refuse to fight in that form. But my childhood was short lived and soon perished. My mother was murdered by another saiyan who said my father should have married better. Then my father… My father was sent on a purging mission, and he never returned. Who was I to turn to? Saiyan’s don’t care about kids like me, I was 10 years old with out a home.”

Vegeta leaned forward, almost enjoying her story.

“It was four days after the beginning of my loneliness when I ran into Freeza. He studied me and then told me I should come with him. Not that I had any other place to go, so I followed him. I knew he must’ve been a decent person to care for me when no one else did. As I said before, I grew up with love and I promised myself I would die with it too.”

“It was in his quarters when he gave me my first sword. Not the sword I fight with today, but I smaller, less sharper sword. It was then that he told me to take revenge on my parent’s death, at least my mother’s death. And, since I knew who my mother’s killer was, I soon hunted him down. He was an elite, and strong, but not strong enough. With each swing of my sword I pictured my mother and soon stabbed him through his heart. Freeza stepped out of the shadows and approached me. He asked me if I was sad. I had my head down and in a solemn voice I told him no. But the truth is… the truth was that I was crying.”

Vegeta stared at her, “You cried? You are a weakling,” Vegeta scoffed.

Seirra stood back at him, “From that dead saiyan, Freeza stuck his hand in his heart and pulled out his hand, covered in blood. He ran his fingers through my hair, running the blood through my black strands and said, ‘You shall be my saiyan girl.’”

“The act of running my victims blood through my hair soon became a tradition and that is why I have my blood red streaks in my hair. I stay by Freeza’s side because he raised me, and taught my how to fight better. He took good care of me as if I were his own daughter."

Vegeta looked at her, “So Freeza took care of you huh? And you still stand by his side! Even after he killed your people!”

Seirra looked at him with emotionless eyes, “I watched him as he destroyed Vegetasei, but I didn’t care! They deserved to die! They ruined my family and my love, but they didn’t ruin my life! If it weren’t for Freeza, I’d be dead, like the rest of your empire. But here I am, standing before you, fighting you. Freeza gave me my life. I knew he took you aboard too, but don’t you wonder why we never met?”

Vegeta looked at her, he did wonder why he never met her, “Why?”

“Because Freeza knew you would tell me lies and try and turn me against him, he knew you would just try and make me follow you and go along with your every word. If it weren’t for Freeza keeping me away from you, I bet I would be dead, just like your people,” Seirra spat at him.

“You love Freeza don’t you?” Vegeta glared accusingly at her, as if trying to reach her soul.

“Maybe. Is the little prince disappointed?” Seirra stood up looking at him from a distance.

“Of course not,” Vegeta smirked, “Just displeased.”
