Chapter 17: Face Off

Luana's brilliant bronze hair danced in the wind, her smirk as clear as day in the darkened battlefield. Her teeth gleamed white in the darkness, and her midnight blue eyes flashed dangerous as she faced off against her opponent. Her black t-shirt fit like a second skin, hugging every inch of her upper body. Her pants matched her shirt in every aspect. They were tight, and black….a second skin. Vegeta had on a similar outfit. A black spandex training suit, with black gloves to match. His shoes were steel toe boots, laced up tight in the front, and of course, black. Vegeta loved the outfit, but what he thought had been the best part of it was when he had opened the box, there had been a armband on the very top. Underneath it was a piece of paper, with detailed instructions on its functions. Vegeta wasn't completely sure how it all worked, but it gave him an endless supply of Ki energy; therefore, he would not be needing any breaks during the battle. The armband was black (AN: As if you didn't guess already :P) and had silver lettering along it. It was not a language Vegeta knew so he didn't bother trying to figure it out.

"Well, woman are you going to answer me?!" He growled, his voice clearly stating he was annoyed. "What are you doing here? And whatever it is, make it quick because I do not wish to stare at your face for very much longer."

"I will make my business quick. Either you choose to be my mate, and stay here on Monteazul with me, or we'll be having some serious problems." Her voice was utterly calm and she smiled blankly at the Saiyan Prince.

"Then we'll be having some serious problems." He clenched one of his fists and glared at her. "Now get lost before I decide to implant your face into the ground Luana." He growled.

"So, it has come down to this has it?" She threw her head back, her rich throaty laughter filling the tensed air. "I do not wish to bring you harm, but if you continue to choose that little nitwit over me, I might have to persuade your decision." The laughter in her voice had leaked away, leaving her face hard edged and dangerous. "You can try to deny it all you like, but we both know, she holds a high place in your heart."

Vegeta, unable to argue, just stated the first thing that came to mind. "You will be persuading no one Luana, I can not be persuaded to choose differently, remember that.." Vegeta's voice came out calm, yet it filled the air with a notch of something his voice hadn't even implied. A whisper of dark promises. Promises of pain to come.

"Fine, then let us battle, whoever triumphs will decide the other's fate." She put her right foot back, hands held up, palms facing Vegeta with her ring and pinky fingers curled in. The remainder of her fingers were only bent slightly and power flowed over them both, shockingly strong. Vegeta's power level rivaled hers with each power increase and he smirked when the irritation could be seen plain on her face.

"VEGETA!" She growled, glaring daggers at him. "Don't….fuck with me…" she continued, gritting her teeth. Vegeta threw his head back, laughter trickling from his lips.

"I have already done that…" He looked at her, his smirk widening in a way. "In more ways than one if I'm not mistaken." He laughed again at the sudden color plaguing her cheeks. His power rose above hers, slamming into her like a wave in a raging ocean. She stumbled back a step and the shocked look upon her face was more than Vegeta could have hoped for. He took a step towards her and laughed mockingly when she unconsciously took a step back. She growled and took her step back, daring to be the one who walked up to him. Luana hit the ground, landing on her back, blinking stunned up at the sky. She hadn't seen the blow, but she certainly had felt it. Her stomach ached and she swore she felt herself bleeding on the inside as she sat up, putting herself into a coughing fit, blood trailing from the corner of her mouth.

"What's the matter Luana?" Vegeta spat, a look of disapproving riding his face. "Can't handle a simple blow? Perhaps you're much weaker than I anticipated. Shame, I thought this battle would be interesting. Of course, even I'm wrong from time to time." He smirked and crossed muscular arms over a defined chest. Luana pushed her power level to a higher ledge and stood slowly to her feet, head lowered with her eyes trained on the Saiyan no ouji. Luana phased out of view, appearing behind Vegeta only to be met with the side of his boot connecting with the side of her neck, sending her through the air. She hit the ground on her side with a popping sound, toppling a few times before coming to a halt on her back. She coughed, gagging as more stomach blood flowed out of her mouth and down over her lower lip. Vegeta stalked over to her, lifting her up by her throat, her feet dangling a half of foot from the ground. Her face was smashed and she had bruises marching along her neck up to her left ear.

"Pathetic female, I'm ridding this miserable planet of your existence. Time to send you to the next dimension…" he growled, charging a ball of blue energy, holding it over her stomach, ready to administer to her, HIS kind of medicine. Death medicine. Her mouth opened and a strangled word came out.

"What woman? What was that?" Vegeta set her down, watching her fall on her ass before sending the beam up into the sky for it to disappear into space. Vegeta had no doubt his ears were incredible when it came to hearing, but he wanted to doubt the word that had come out of Luana's mouth.

"Bulma.." she coughed. Vegeta frowned, crossing his arms over his chest.

"What about Bulma?" he growled, glaring down at the fallen warrior. Vegeta felt as if she had been lying the whole time. If she was a warrior, she would have fought a lot better than she had. Just two blows and she was whimpering like a punished child, surely she was hiding something?

"If you…" she swallowed hard, a look of sickness overtaking her battered features. "Kill me, you won't see her alive ever again…" she laughed as she finished, watching Vegeta's body tense completely, not a single bit of him moved. Luana took this opportunity to grip his ankles and pull, sending the Saiyan to his ass as well. She quickly straddled his waist as his face revealed a mixture of shock and annoyance. Before Vegeta could push her off she leaned down and kissed his throat.

"If you want her back…come find me…" She laughed and disappeared, leaving Vegeta to wonder what fate Bulma had encountered.

Krillen's body slammed into the ground, a crater rippling from beneath his limp body. A female's laughter could be heard from high above before he completely passed out.

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Tien looked up from his position on the ground, his whole body battered and bloody. He was on his knees, staring into the brown eyes of a woman he had seen around the ship. Before he could stand and continue the fight, the side of her dainty foot connected with the side of his face, sending him throw the air to land where his unfortunate luck put him. The world spun and the darkness swallowed his vision before he hit the ground.

Goku tilted his head frowning as the young female administered the first blow. Goku blocked it easily, side swiping her fist and blinking dumbly as she continued her pointless assault on the Earth warrior. She threw a kick to his face, which he caught with one hand and yanked, sending her to her back, knocking the wind out of her.

"Now, if you'll tell me what's going on…I won't hurt you. I really don't want to hurt you, but if you're trying to hurt me and my friends, it's unavoidable." Goku said slowly, his serious face set in place as he stared down at her. She looked up into his eyes and a shiver ran down her spine.

"Well…" She began and looked down.

Piccolo shoved Gohan out of the way before catching a fist to the chest, sending him backwards through the air. Gohan took the opportunity to catch the young female off guard and charged her, sending them both through the air to slam into the ground a moment later, he administered a blur of punches to her body before rolling away and getting to his feet. She was beaten, and she knew it as she sat up. Piccolo slowly got to his feet and glared at the female.

"I believe and explanation is in order.." he growled.

AN: I hope you've enjoyed it, I don't want to give everything away right away so I left it at a cliffhanger (yet again) please review whether you liked it or not. ^_^.
