Part 11

 

Ahrae watched Vegeta. She hated him. Now his Mighty Prince of the Ass' was washing his hands in a stream. They landed on a weird place with hot springs. Everything around was in a deep snow, but the water was steaming. The two Saiyans had caught some strange animal, cleaned it, cut in into peaces and now were washing their bloodied hands.

 

She hated him. He was wearing her blue armor. She didn't like that. She didn't like that Goku used her sympathy for him against her. She really didn't like that. She didn't like Goku. The girl shook her head. No, she liked him but was highly pissed off by him. Everything was pissing her off. Her stupid plan, her stupid mercifulness. She even agreed to guide them to Norayn. And they even didn't have to coax her into it. Stupid moron! The boy doubtlessly was dead already. And what they would do when they reach Norayn's base? Kill themselves?! They would never get into the base unnoticed! And what pissed her off the most that she betrayed her Queen and her Clan. She herself made the plan and she herself fucked it up. She didn't let the Saiyans die as it was planed, she saved them. She went against her Clan, and what for? For a dead boy?

 

Something wasn't right. Goku could feel that. The last day the tension between them increased. Not that the girl was very nice to Vegeta before… But it seemed that now she avoided them. She didn't avoid Vegeta before, yelled and bitched, but didn't try to escape him. And she avoided him too. And that was really strange. Goku thought that maybe he really overdid with that stupid armor… Vegeta noticed the unusual tenseness too. He became quieter, more peaceful. And the reason why the prince was walking around the girl on his tiptoes was that the farther they got into the west the more lessened their power, and the girl didn't seem to be effected by that.

 

They sat on the ground around the fire. Goku dried the place with his ki earlier. They ate in silence. Vegeta could hear every spark of the fire in the air. Ahrae was eating some yellow fruit and staring at him with those her blue icy eyes. He shifted uneasy then remembered.

 

“I have found them while hunting,” he said, reaching several red fruits to her. “There was a similar place to this and there were several fruit trees growing. That animal we caught was eating them.”

 

Ahrae looked at him then at the fruit.

 

“I tried it and as you see I'm still alive,” Vegeta looked at her again. He wasn't sure why he was doing that, but he was simply tired of this whole ordeal. She tried to kill him, okay not to kill him, but to leave him die, but he knew perfectly well that was his fault, he killed five her clan members after all… and they were very protective of each other. Besides she would need food to bring them to Norayn. After that she could go to hell. He knew that sooner or later she would try to kill him. Actually he knew that if he wanted to get off with the whole skin he would have to kill her first. But now he simply wanted peace.

 

She took two fruits from him and smelled them. Vegeta went back to the spits with the meat. He watched the girl out of the corner of his eye. Ahrae looked at the fruits one more time and threw them away with a clearly seen disgust on her face. Vegeta froze. Goku looked at her surprised.

 

“Do you think I'm trying to poison you?!” Vegeta hissed at her.

 

Ahrae startled then anger appeared on her face. “Of course not, you sadistic animal, I'm pretty sure you gave me it only to feed me…” her voice was dripping with sarcasm. She leaned farther into the darkness where he wasn't able to see her face. Now she knew what she had to do to regain the trust of her Queen and Clan - she would have to kill them. At least one of them. Better both. “What to expect more from you, Saiyans… I hope your spawn is dead already…” she smiled in the darkness.

 

Vegeta's roar rocked the air around them as he blindly launched into the opposite side of the fire, into the darkness. Ahrae already was on her feet; she blocked his punch and hit him in the stomach. Vegeta was thrown about ten meters away. Goku shot between the two of warriors, trying to calm them down.

 

“Get off my way!” Ahrae hissed.

 

“That was a misunderstanding, the frui-” Goku didn't finish the sentence because he was flung to the side. Goku, surprised, rubbed his side while lying on the ground. He saw that the girl blocked Vegeta's kick then responded with a kick of her own into Vegeta's midsection, tossing him onto the snow. Goku ITed on the girl's path when she tried to reach the prince again.

 

“Get the fuck away or I'll kill you!” the girl lowered her head and drew her sword. She shook with venom.

 

“Crazy bitch!” Vegeta roared, powering up to Super Saiyan. “Kakarott, get out of my way!” he shouted, launching a blast at Ahrae. Goku jumped to the side.

 

“You, moron! You have no power here!” Ahrae laughed mockingly. She dodged the blast, throwing an orange flaming ball back at Vegeta. After a second, half of the forest didn't exist anymore.

 

Goku was nervous, really nervous… The crazed girl was only three years old but her fighting skills were as if she was about a hundred. Then he remembered that Fire Clan members were able to inherit their mother's memories, what likely included fighting skills. He soon spotted that her weakness was ki gathering. She was slow with it, and when she tried to blast Vegeta she always missed but that wasn't very promising, because her lack of accuracy compensated the power and spread of her blasts.

 

Goku sprinted to the girl. He hoped he would be able to knock her off and then explain that this was simply a stupid misunderstanding. But seeing Vegeta he realized that he would have to knock them both off. Vegeta shook with fury. Goku powered up to Super Saiyan, gathering the all power he could manage. He surged forward at the girl.

 

Ahrae felt power behind her back. That wasn't good - it meant that Goku had more power than her. But she could clear it up quickly. She turned from the prince to the oncoming Goku, closed her eyes, quickly raised her hand and suddenly Goku was trapped in the similar force field which was created by one of Ahrae's mages. Only that this conversely from those didn't let the person to escape from it. While Ahrae was turned from the prince, Vegeta reached her and kicked her into the side, sending her flying. She fell on her hands, flipped over, landed on her feet and tossed the orange burning blast at Vegeta.

 

Goku pounded with his fists on the invisible wall. He tried to blast his way out from the force field, but the blast rebounded from the surface and now he was busy dogging it while it bounced everywhere around him. Goku followed the fight outside, but wasn't able to see very well: the fight rousted the snow everywhere, it seemed like an earthy blizzard would be going outside. And at the same time there was infernal heat around the two fighters: the blasts melted the snow, burned the trees, shook the frozen ground, made it glowing, picking it up in the air. But he wasn't able to hear anything from the outside; it seemed that the field isolated sounds. Goku saw Vegeta launch several blasts at the girl, but she simply dogged from one, the second blasted the ground behind her back. She had less power than Vegeta but was quicker than him. She was even more skilled than him…

 

Ahrae raised her head with a mocking smile on her face. Goku realized what she was doing. She was trying to enrage the prince more, to make him lose more and more power. Vegeta already was fighting with concentration most on blasting the girl to hell than on making a plan how to do it. And she knew it…

 

Ahrae created a big burning blast, tossed it at the oncoming prince, dodged to the side, created one more, and one more, launched them at the prince then, while he was busy with her blasts, created a portal in a flash and reappeared behind his back.

 

Vegeta gasped, suddenly feeling the energy of the cursed girl behind his back. How...? Her foot met his spine, sending him tumbling nearer the force field with trapped Goku. If Vegeta had been a human, his spinal cord would be already broken. Vegeta quickly rolled to the side, evading her oncoming foot intending to crush his skull. He made a turnover, blocked her fist, knocked her with his feet to the ground, but falling to the ground she managed to kick Vegeta's feet from under him. Vegeta fell to the ground too but flipped to the side, escaping the sword pointed to his neck. In a blink of an eye the both warriors were on their feet again.

 

The rumbling low sound was heard from Vegeta's throat. Ahrae gave a scornful smile to the prince then weighted her sword in her hand. “Proceed?” she smirked then immediately slashed her sword at Vegeta. Vegeta swooped back avoiding her sword, landed on one hand, kicked her with his leg in the midsection, cartwheeled, got to his feet, and launched back at her. Ahrae grabbed her fallen sword again, dodged, and stabbed at Vegeta's back.

 

Vegeta felt warm liquid flowing down his side. He roared in immense furry, turned around and smirked at her. “We'll see how you'll like this…” said he in a syrupy voice then blasted off to the sky, leaving Ahrae standing on a burned and ruined field. “Final Flash!”

 

Ahrae had no time to ponder what the hell those words meant; she was busy escaping the huge slashing blast. But that was not a problem; she created a portal and relocated behind the floating prince, burying her sharp sword into his side.

 

Vegeta gasped in pain and surprise, kicked her to the side, catching her falling sword. The girl was falling to the ground but before she could have hit the ground, she crated a portal to the ground and safely landed on her feet.

 

“Your trick wasn't successful,” she announced him, smirking then eyed her bloodied sword which was now in Vegeta's hand. “I don't like flying, but I have my ways…” she launched a big blast at the prince then relocated herself to Vegeta's side, kicking him into the wounded side. “And now I'll have my way with you…” she whispered while Vegeta was screaming in pain. She delivered a blow to Vegeta's face, sending him to the ground. Ahrae relocated immediately after the prince hit the ground.

 

Vegeta successfully avoided another kick to his head. Now his immense furry and anger were turning into confusion and fear. It was simply impossible. It was inconceivable! She was only the stupid girl! She was a warrior! How she managed to create that force field and portals?! Fire Clan's genetics didn't allow `two in one'! Portal creation and such were possible only for their mages! Mages weren't able to muster much of the power, but they were able to master magic and nature. And their warriors were simply warriors, like he and Kakarott, they were able to gather much power but no magical tricks. So why in the hell she was able to control the two forces, and have so much power when she was only three years old?!

 

Ahrae avoided her own sword pointed at her neck. She laughed amused. The sword in prince's hand was only useless peace of metal. He had little experience in sword fighting. Of course she didn't have it either, but the skills of her mother were very at hand now. She saw that Vegeta understood that and was hesitating what to do with her sword: if he threw it away, she might get it back, but now it only hindered him in the fight. Finally the prince tossed it to the ground into the portal where Goku was screaming his lungs off, trying to reason them both. The sword passed the portal and landed near Goku who picked it up and immediately slashed the invisible walls, which were holding him trapped. No use. There were many sparks but any profit.

 

Ahrae sighed in regret, seeing her sword in blond Goku's hand then eyed the prince standing before her. She smiled seeing blood running down his side. He was still in that strange mode with blond hair, too, but was already losing his strength. She didn't manage to cut through her blue armor but she was able to do the damage where his body wasn't protected.

 

The two warriors launched at each other again. They exchanged several blows then Vegeta again took off to the sky. Ahrae hissed and watched for his final destination of the flight. But now he was much clever: he didn't stop and she didn't have a chance to crate a portal and catch him. Ahrae cursed then summoned all her power and blasted off after the prince. She hated flying.

 

Vegeta gaped at the quickly advancing girl. Fucking shit…she flies…it's not funny… And she was powerful. Her power almost reached that of the Super Saiyan… Vegeta blocked her punch into his face then tried to kick her into the neck. He realized that while they were in the air he had a chance to defeat her - she wasn't used to fighting in the air. She was late to react. Vegeta smirked at her. And she smirked back.

 

“Oh…you think you are very clever…”

 

Vegeta didn't waste time and assailed her with endless attacks. She flew back, raised her hand, her eyes suddenly flashed red. Vegeta ran into something. It felt like a wall. He cursed, rubbing his fist and face. Fucking magic. He hissed at the smirking girl with glowing red eyes.

 

“Okay, I'm tired of this,” Ahrae cocked her head to the side. The red shimmer in her eyes increased and Vegeta felt surrounded by pressing walls. He growled and propped his palms and feet into those walls. The girl hissed but wasn't able to make the walls tighter. She hovered several seconds before him, thinking what to do next. Then smiled. “Not bad…you are still stronger than me, but I have an idea…”

 

Vegeta's eyes widened when he realized what she was to do about: she began create blasts in each of her palm. He had seen that her sword had been able to pass the force field from the outside. The blasts were able too…and he was trapped in some fucking box!

 

Blasts struck Vegeta hard. He tried to protect himself with his hands but the pressing of the walls increased. Then more of blasts followed.

 

Goku was shouting in terror. He watched how blasts were meeting the trapped Vegeta. He wasn't able to deflect them. Vegeta was bleeding, his hair was flickering between gold and black. He saw how blood gathered into the bottom of that small invisible box, making Vegeta stand in a heel-deep puddle of his own blood. Then Vegeta's hair flickered blond last time and remained black.

 

More blasts… Goku couldn't hear anything but realized Vegeta must be screaming in pain. Goku despairingly beat at the walls of his own cage. He wanted to rip the neck of that red-eyed beast hovering opposite his prince.

 

Ahrae let Vegeta fall to the ground, she watched him falling to the earth, red shower from the box following him. He was unconscious. Ahrae created a portal and reappeared next to his unmoving body. The girl cocked her head to the side then looked at screaming Goku. She looked back at the bloodied prince.

 

She felt strange. She leaned down, pulled the red-wet belt from his torso away. She blankly stared at the belt with capsules, some of them were ruined already, then sighed, looked back at lying Vegeta then again at a thrashing Goku. She tossed the belt back next to Vegeta. She stared at her bloodied hand then dropped her ki to the minimum. She was simply tired and…sated. She walked over to Goku, stood opposite the invisible wall and crossed her arms.
