Fallen for the Kill

By: Hope_Poe26

At sundown Kakarott had told Radditz to lead Bulma and Kim at the safe house and to do it quick before Jake realized what he'd done. Vegeta, Pan and Chi left the house with care. Chi scouted the place carefully and always stood in front of them. Pan, not knowing what was going on, thought it weird but continued on.

The market and all the stores in town were closed and in truth, Vegeta knew for a fact that all the people had left already. Chi suddenly stopped and Vegeta stood on guard. Pan, taking in her mates' initiative put on her guard and then without putting off a big show, they were surrounded by an army. Vegeta sneered in disgust knowing very well that they expected them to surrender easily, but at Chi's imperceptible nod, Pan and Vegeta powered up to super saiyan and then the fight was on.

Jake had been looking around the house for a way out, but as soon as he turned the corner, he fell to the ground dead to the world. Kakarott didn't really want to kill him, but if he touched his pressure points and knocked him out before he even knew he had been found out, it was better that way. He locked him in the gravity simulator and once Radditz was out of the safe house, they waited for the others to show up. It didn't take long and the element of surprise that Zarbon thought they had was soon thrown off and then they were fighting.

Hours later, when Chi had disappeared off somewhere in town looking for more clues, Pan sat down for a second to take in a breath. Vegeta stopped near her, his tail snapping wildly around showing his agitation to the world. But he didn't care. He just didn't feel completely at ease until this Brolli guy and Freeza were dead.

But he didn't have to wait long for Freeza to make his appearance. He was in his first form and this made Vegeta sweat for a second before he remembered he wasn't alone.

"I thought you were dead monkey!" - said Freeza in that sickeningly females voice. Pan shivered inwardly and stood up ready to fight.

"You should know better than think Freeza." - Vegeta snarled back at him.

And then they were against each other in a flurry of fists and kicks. Pan just stood there on guard expecting Freeza to turn to her, but she was wrong. Freeza hadn't even seen her and wasn't about to engage into a fight with her at all. Suddenly there was a crash next to Pan and after the dust and the rubble cleared, she saw Chi trying to stand back on her feet.

Pan looked in front of her and saw a very tall man with blond spiky hair and a lot of muscles. He didn't seem to have a definite color of eyes and as soon as she realized who this was, Pan's blood ran cold.

"So we finally meet." - he drawled at. Pan's dog-ears flattened and she growled out.

"How cute! You actually think you can take me little girl? I might just maim you, then rape you and then hand you into that hybrid brat called Jake." - her face whitened at the mention of Jake and in her mind she tried to deny it knowing it was useless.

At the other side of town, Kakarott took a break from the fighting to look around and try to locate Vegeta and Pan, but he knew he could not. Then he was falling into the desert. Koola was here and not too happy to find that Freeza was nowhere in sight.

Radditz reached his brother and digged him out of the rubble to look at Koola. He had finished with every bit of Freeza's minions. Who knew that he'd be able to do that just by turning into a super saiyan? He just shrugged it off as an advantage of being a saiyan and silently willed Kakarott to wake up.

"What happened?" - he asked once he was conscious.

"Koola knocked you from behind. Kakarott, Koola is so much more stronger than Freeza. Do you think we can defeat him?" - Kakarott shook his head. He had hoped that Jake's idea would work out, but because he had sold out on them; they now had to deal with Koola himself.

"I don't think so bro. As you said he's much more stronger than me, we couldn't beat him if we tried assaulting him both at the same time." - Radditz thought long and hard and then grinned a mirthless grin.

"What?" - Kakarott asked him.

"Do you know that fusion dance that father taught us when we were kids?"

"Yeah?" - Kakarott had a headache and he didn't catch on quickly until he saw Radditz in the eye.

"Let's do it!"

Kakarott put himself in position and Radditz did the same. They did it and when they were finally fused, they rushed into the air to catch up to Koola who had gone off in search of Freeza.

Vegeta dusted himself off and congratulated himself on defeating Freeza when he remembered that he was a bit off from where Pan was fighting. He snarled at his stupidity and raged on, his hair going back to the true form of the super saiyan.

She coughed up blood. Chi knew this was her end in the fight, but was extremely relieved that Pan was handling the fight well. She decided that the only thing she could do now was go back home - funny how she quickly settled down - and search for the two girls. She admitted as she ran as fast as she could mindful of any prying eyes that she didn't like Bulma, but she could learn to tolerate her for the sake of her love.

Kim and Bulma had been in the underground safe house for a while now. They ate, read and pretty much just talked quietly to each other thankful for the others' company. Radditz had briefly filled them in on Jake's betrayal and the fact that both he and his brother needed not to worry over them while they fought. So they had agreed to only open the door - as it could only be opened from the inside - when either came by to pick them up. So it was like this that Chi popped into them. Bulma almost screamed, but her scream was quickly squelched by Chi who put her black paw over her mouth keeping her from telling anyone who might've been hiding where they were.

"I know you don't like me, but will you not give in to the urge of screaming?" - then she sunk to the floor and started to lick her wounds.

"Where is everyone?" - Kim asked quietly.

"I don't know where your mates are, but Vegeta was fighting Freeza whilst Pan is fighting her own battle with that Brolli guy."

"Traitor!" - Bulma hissed out at Chi, but Chi didn't respond.

"Shhh!! I am not a traitor! Pan told me to come back here to check on you guys. Besides, the saiyans are in a better condition than me. I am a mere neko-jin who is rather too old to make a good fight. I'd be dead if it weren't for Pan. She defended me when Brolli came into the scene." - Bulma huffed out as if saying `oh, all right'.

"Here." - Kim handed her a towel and Chi thanked her while she gently applied pressure in her thigh.

They sat in the semi-darkness in silence when they heard a noise. The gravity simulator was next to the safe house. Jake was awake and trying to get out. Kim stiffened and Chi just put her paw in front of her mouth indicating that they shouldn't speak. The walls couldn't be that thick to keep the sounds off if they could hear him, then he could very well hear them.
