章 2: Chapter 2

I woke up staring at a ceiling. What kind of ceiling? The kind that doesn't need mentioning. By God they can't make me say it no matter how much I want to. The power of cliche will not get me.

As I avoided a certain cliche, I began to look around the place I was at. Oddly enough the house I was in didn't have a front wall. At least not anymore, if the burned edges were anything to go by. Sitting up off the floor, I noticed three things. One, I was quite short. Two, I was wearing some weird looking blue armor. And three…

"IS THAT A FUCKING TAIL?" As I said, a long, brown tail swayed behind as if it was always there. There was also a strange piece of equipment lying beside me prompting me to put the pieces together. 'Strange, flexible armor, scouter looking device, and the fucking tail? I couldn't possibly be where I think I am. I'm in the fucking Dragon ball z world as some random saiyan. Sitting still, going through a minor(major) panic attack, memories that aren't my own began to flash through my mind. I saw a pair of saiyans staring at me through glass and some green liquid. They seemed to be disappointed in me? Then they left. That was the last the child had seen their parents. Soon the memory changed. A year had passed since the child's birth and it left an enclosed space, most likely a pod and seeing a world of trees. The child was sent to exterminate this place but the young saiyan found the place to be beautiful but that beauty held extreme danger. The saiyan didn't leave the place for a year, earning plenty of scars from it's journey.

The saiyan fought the beasts it could take down and hid from those that were too strong. It also learned what was edible and what wasn't through trial and error. A lot of errors unfortunately. The child felt fear and almost lost it's life multiple times throughout the journey to do as it was told, exterminate all life on the planet. The last week of the child's stay, the moon finally became full as it does once every year. With it, the child blacked out, only to wake up and find that the last few beasts left, the strongest of them all were wiped out, alongside much of the landscape. Luckily, the child's pod was unscathed by the mysterious destruction. It wasn't until the child returned home that it learned about the great ape, an incredible being all saiyans can become upon the sight of a full moon. The child was smart, and so began to study more and more about the saiyan race, the great ape transformation, and their leader, Lord Frieza. The mere mention of the name causing fear in all who hear it, except those who wish to die. Even the arrogant fear crossing the path of the strongest in the universe.

When the child was three and on it's way to its new mission, the child knew of a new technique that would aid in missions known as a powerball, an ability to create an artificial moon. The exact details on how to make it were not properly distributed, but the child was smart. The child could not test on the saiyan homeworld at the risk of death but that is why this new mission was so exciting. The child enjoyed learning new things that didn't just involve fighting, which caused a lot of bullying amongst the child's peers. The child was odd and would be beaten constantly by its peers and sometimes by particularly cruel adults. The child no longer expressed emotion around other people and became a loner, preferring to be by itself. This mission, unfortunately paired the child with three of it's tormentors, one being an adult meant to teach the children how to fight.

It was here that the child learned the difference between a man and a woman. The child realized it was a she. She was beaten more than the others. Their teacher seemed to take pleasure in beating her within an inch of her life. Many times when they were fighting enemies on this planet, the teacher would make her fight the stronger of the enemies and when there are no stronger, he would make her fight more than one. Even when she survives by the skin of her teeth, she is given the minimum amount of food. She hated it but she could feel herself becoming stronger. With every beating, it took more to take her down the next. After a month, she could even handle the teacher. It was proven when she finally fought back against him, beating him in front of the other two bullies.

Her show of force put her 'team' in their place. She had to admit, the feeling of power was exhilarating. Soon, her meager amounts of food became the biggest. She chose the best sleeping spot while the others could only scowl. She would taunt them, provoke them, anything to get them to fight her, only for them to get beaten back. The only thing to not change was that she continued to fight the stronger enemies. As she continued to get stronger, so too did the enemies. The people of this planet, blue people with four arms, the Asura, decided to take the fight to them. They were ambushed! They had the strength to handle the warriors but they didn't have the stamina to outlast their numbers. Luckily, the girl had a plan. She still had a powerball to test out and test it out she did. It worked!

When she next awoke, the planet was devastated. She survived! So did her team but, all but one of the pods were destroyed. She was willing to stay behind and wait for one of the others to bring back help. Their scouters were destroyed in the battle so the remaining pod was their only escape. She believed that, despite their personalities, saiyan camaraderie would bring them together right? She was wrong. The moment the idea of only one being able to leave was presented, the three turned on the girl, sneak attacking her. They wanted to take out the most dangerous opponent first then they would fight to see who will survive. She felt them beat her down, but she couldn't feel the pain. She could only feel angry! How dare they take advantage of her kindness! The anger caused her to push through their attacks eventually turning the tide on her former teammates. It was three on one, but the fight turned to the girl's favor as she continued to climb higher and higher.

Quickly, the anger clouding the girl's mind faded away, like a curtain lifting from the stage. She beat them all, but they were still alive! As she charged a blast to finish the fight, she hesitated. Was this right? She asked herself, but then she asked if anything the saiyans were doing was right. Slaughtering families, orphaning children, destroying lives. Suddenly, she stopped charging her blast. She felt sick! This whole planet was filled with people with lives that wouldn't continue. Was it worth it? She didn't know but what she did know was that she was just a pawn in this game played by the true rulers. She didn't have a choice. Her hesitation gone from her mind, the girl destroyed her ex-comrades. She felt sad but they brought it upon themselves.

Once she returned back to Planet Vegeta, she trained hard, going solo completely. Many saiyans no longer bullied her, a power level of 6,000 quelling any thoughts of such foolishness. Even her parents wanted to get in contact with her, but she denied them. She didn't matter to them when she was weak, now that she could rival a few saiyan elites they wanted to use her to climb social ladders. She laughed in their faces when they spoke of being her parents. She didn't have parents, she told them and left.

Finally, when she was five, she was sent on a secret mission. Apparently, King Vegeta needed her to infiltrate an unknown planet that has resources the kingdom needs. The girl didn't question the vagueness of the information nor the strangeness of the request to not let any members of the Frieza Force know of her mission. She just did what she was told. Something was nagging at the back of her mind, so she brought her personally crafted scouter with her. Donning her black under armor that cut off at the knees with her blue and black battle suit. The suit came with the standard shoulder guards and armor skirt but she wore fingerless grieves and boots that matched her armor. Setting off in her pod, she didn't realize the trouble awaiting her. The mission was set up by the king who was afraid of her progress sending two saiyan warriors he trusted to get the job done.

As she entered the planet's atmosphere, the two saiyans attacked, hitting her pod and causing it to crash. When they approached the crash site, they were shocked to find no one in the pod. Their lack of attention caused them to miss the blur that sped through, destroying their scouters and cutting off their tails. 'How did she move that fast?' They thought as the girl smirked at the fools, holding their tails in her hands. She was stronger than they thought! Which was true, her power level actually approaching 9,000!

"Damned brat! Stay still so we can kill you!" The larger of the two said, charging a blast while his partner tried to sneak around the child. The girl could only look at them with disdain as she dogged the slow blast and parried the "sneak attack" and launched him back to his friend. Before the two could recover, she charged an energy ball of her own and launched it at them, missing both.

"Ha! Stupid brat! You missed!" The large one smirked as he prepared to launch at her.

"Did I? Or are you going senile old man?" The girl stated, her hand still outstretched to the sky. The two looked up only for their faces to go pale. It wasn't an energy ball at all! It was a powerball! The two were shocked, realizing that she planned this from the beginning! She laughed as her heartbeat became audible to the two. Panicking, they tried to rush to the girl, but it was too late. The great ape continued laughing as she stepped on the two, breaking their bodies. She continued to step on them until there was nothing left but a red stain and an unidentifiable pile of meat. The girl's laughter soon turned to tears as the hulking ape curled into a ball and whimpered. Even when she became strong, no one would leave her alone. She cried for a while, long enough to revert back to her regular form. Before she fell to sleep, the girl decided right then and there that she would work for no one but herself! 'The only person I can trust is me! Turles!'

I woke up from my daze in shock, before I screamed.

"I'M TURLES? BUT HE'S A SHE NOW!?!"
