Heart of Fire Chapter Three- Welcome to Lais

Authors Note: I can't tell if this was rushed, but I made it longer and hope I get some feedback. I hope you enjoy!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The ship imploded upon impact, the ice caving inward on itself crushing the freezing Saiyan inside. A huge ball of ice, now, it crumbled into jagged blocks. Irrepairable.
************************************************* The ship landed in the middle of a crystalline city, forcing the residents out of the way. The loud sound had gotten their attention and they came from all over the city, to see what it was. The creatures were red, a contrast to the element of their planet. They didn't look friendly.

Many of the creatures looked onward. One of them slowly walked forward. The others joined when it appeared that the thing would pose no threat. Everything looked like ice, but there was a distinct shape to one block. Looking closely, they realized that there was something inside.

An alien!

Backing away, the creature pulled out a stick and poked cautiously at the icy figure. "What is it?" One of them asked.

"How should I know?"

A voice cut through the confused babbling of the others. "Melt it, and bring it to me"

A Lais-jin piped up, "But Sire, what if it is alive? It seems innocuous at best"

"I don't care!" the bigger one barked. "Do it now! Or you will be killed!"

The Lais-jins scurried over to the gelid body and proceeded to clear the icy debris away. Then, they hurriedly, but carefully, carried the large piece of ice to a small dark ice-hut.

It took hours to melt the near permanently frozen body, but when they did, the Lais-jins stepped back, terrified. "Call Lord Herma, quick! He has to see this"
************************************************
It was dark and cold. Something was touching me, and that was cold too.

I could tell that wherever I was, I was not alone and I couldn't move. I couldn't even open my eyes. But I could hear voices.

"Get the Brute Rays! We will need all we can to sustain memory!"

I don't know what they're talking about, but I felt it was time I got out of here. If I had the strength. I wiggled around as much as I could, trying to coax circulation back into my body. But I couldn't get out, for some reason I felt so weak.....

"He's trying to escape"

"Should we put him to sleep again?"

"No, let him struggle, he won't be going anywhere"

I knew I was in trouble. Whatever planet this was I know I'm in trouble. These people didn't seem like they were going to let me go at all. I don't remember how I got here, I know I'm cold and that I don't like what I hear.

"He came here from the Planet Earth. He appears to be weak, but not human"

Earth, where was that? Did this mean that I don't live here? I don't know what's going on. Something isn't right but I just can't put my finger on what.

I don't remember anything.

"Do you know your name?" At first I didn’t realize the question was directed at me, so I didn't respond. "What is your name?" The voice asked again. I had amnesia, but I wasn't stupid.

"Who are you and what are you doing to me?" I tried again to sit up, but I still couldn't, something was holding me down.

"Never mind that. I will ask you again, one more time and we will use more apinful ways to get it out of you. Again, What is your name?"

"I don't know"

This answer seemed to satisfy the voice.

"The Brute Rays are not working, what should we do?" Another voice.

The voice closest to me replied. "Kill him"

I tried to get away, even yell, but I was silenced, by another, deeper voice interjecting.

"What the hell do you think your doing? Kill him? Fools, move out of the way, I will take him."

"Yes Sire" The others chorused.

"We mustn't waste such an opportunity, he may be useful"

Then my world faded into darkness again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I'm leaving..." I said. The shadowy figure didn't move. "Go I don't want to see your face again" The figure raises it's hand and a blinding light is glowing in the center of it's palm. "Die!" The glowing ball hurtles toward me and I am utterly helpless to stop it. It engulfs my body. I scream in agony as the pain tears through me.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And then I would wake up and I'm sweating and panting, but most of all, confused. Who was the person in the dream? Was it someone I used to know? And why did he kill me?

I would fall back to sleep wondering about these dream. They kept coming, each more horrifying than the last. In some dreams there were more people, and they all killed me at the same time. It always started of with the same statement.

"I'm leaving" Then someone would kill me in the most terrifying ways and some called me names, I don't remember what, but they hurt me as much as the glowing ball, sometimes more. And I didn't know why.

For days I was probed and analyzed, when I wasn't in deep sleep, I could feel a caustic pain in the back of my head. After weeks of this, I was finally moved.

This time when I woke up I was able to move, see and speak. But I was in a large glass room. I tried pounding on the glass, but something sharp and cold laced through my body. I stumbled back.

"I don't think you should do that, you could get hurt" I looked in the direction of the voice and saw a large red skinned creature, with swollen purple eyes, and little horns on its head. It looked familiar.

"Well hello there your awake. Now, don't try anything foolish, or you will be punished."

I didn't move again.

"Good, now, do you remember anything?"

I said no. I couldn’t remember a thing. The red thing smiled. "Good"

I don't recall seeing another person in the room with me but I was suddenly grabbed from behind whatever grabbed me, stuck a needle in my neck. I howled in pain and collapsed.

Again I woke up without the use of my limbs, but I could see and speak. The red thing I saw before was hovering above me, studying me. "You still remember nothing?"

"...."

"Well, I know who you are, you are Tarneus, a Lais-jin, you seem to have lost your memory in a crash." " We," he said pointing to the other red things that appeared out of nowhere, "are here to help nurse you back to health. In no time you will remember everything" I had no reason to think this was a lie, and shook my head. "Tarneus" I whispered. It didn't feel like my name, but I had amnesia, what did I know?

"You have sustained great damage we----"

"Why is it so cold?" I interrupted. The red guy looked around as if he didn't have an answer. He looked surprised that I asked. "Um, well, you have a fever, we will remedy that soon" I shrugged. I did feel a little sick.

"The sooner we help you get your memory back, the better. Now, we will run a few tests, but don't be alarmed we are helping you"

I nodded and glanced around. And caught something in the glass. It was staring back at me. I blinked. It blinked. every move I made, he made. Then I realized. The man staring back at me, was me. And I didn't have red skin, of bulging purple eyes.

"What are you guys?"

The red guy glanced at me. "I told you, we are Lais-jin"

"No you told me I was Lais-jin. But why don't I look like you? You have red skin and I don't" The red guy smirked. "You don't have to look like me" That was all he said and I accepted it. I was a bit different, so what? I knew what and who I was now, nothing else mattered.

I couldn't wait to get the rest of my memory back.
******************************************
In a few days, like Lord Herma said, I had all sufficient memory back. I was Tarneus, a Lais-jin, but I was injured in a crash from visiting planet Earth. I still don't know what Earth is.

But when I get my strength back, I will destroy it.

We are a purging people. I was sent to scout planet Earth for information. I didn't there before my ship malfunctioned and I returned to my planet Lais. My ship crashed and I was injured.

It was relatively a nice day here on Lais. It was naturally dark with only a small sun to eluminate it. Our planet is made of Ice. It is a beautiful place.

It is my home.

I felt hungry when I came back, so I ate some food. It tasted horrible, but Herma said I would get used to it again. I ate a lot anyway. The other were surprised that I could eat so much. I was surprised also. The others didn't eat like that.

I was immediately put on a very strict schedule. Herma said it was normal. I was to train every day until the sun went down. Then I was to attend sessions to enhance my memory. The training was effortless and I fell into the regime easily, I guess it came naturally because I had been doing it all my life. However, I was much stronger than the others and was put under high surveillance. I was watched and proded everyday like a lab rat.

They said I was special.

I was the only one that had black hair and eyes on the planet. I looked human. Herma said I was not. I was humanoid. I started to hate all humans as Lais-jins do. They were vile, disgusting, warm-blooded creatures that were a waste of space. So I was going to destroy them. But I was told that before I could do so, I would have to undergo years of training. That was not a problem, I was a patient person. I would eliminate Earth in my own precious time, when I was ready. But it just felt good to be back home. I was just like the others, we would all go hunting the weaker species that shared this planet with us. Of course, we were not supposed to, but that didn't make it any less fun.

I had the desire to kill in my blood. It was the greatest feeling in the world. I don't recollect having these thought when I first woke up, but I guess it is part of who I am.

"Tarneus, why don't you go and fuck around with that Per-jin female, she looks like good game!" Ferto, one of my brethren suggested. Per-jins were the species Lais-jin shared a planet with. But one day, Lord Herma vowed, the planet would be ours.

"I don't think so, I have something else to do" I really didn't want to mess around with some female, when I could be training.

Ferto glared at me. "Your never any fun, your different....since you came back, you are like another person. It's like you are a.... a human!" That did it and I had Ferto by the neck in milliseconds. "What did you say? I didn't get that, say it again!" Ferto shook in my grasp. I dropped him. "I said that you were like a human, you never want to do anything we do. It's all we do and for someone not to want to do it is not normal".

"Well", I said, "I am different, I sure don't look as ugly as you!" Ferto quaked with rage. "Grrrrrr, wait until Sire hears of your insolence, he will pick your head clean off your shoulders!" I shrugged. "It makes no difference what I say" His eyes narrowed. "Who do you think you are?"

"You won't live long enough to tell your Sire" I rushed the ugly man and wrapped my hands around his throat once again. I squeezed until his already bulging eyes were hanging out of his head. He went limp and I let him slip from my finger.

I stood back and surveyed my handiwork. I could have probably toyed with him a little longer. Oh well.

I arrived for my training session with Bertis, a first class fighter. I was being re-trained to purge my first planet. A planet called Dusk was my first choice. It was a perpetually dark planet with no sun and 7 moons. This would be my 'Welcome Back' purge. And I would happily accept. My mission was to be in a few days. My training was coming along well, I had already landed a hit on Bertis, who was known for being 'untouchable'.

Well I showed him.

For the next few days I still dreamed, but the dreams were different. These dreams filled with screams of the name: Goku.

Who was that and why was his name in my dream? It didn't matter to me. I was already very powerful and soon people will be calling out my name: Tarneus.

I was ready for my purging mission by sunset. I was the first to go. The ships were made of a cool, but not cold metal, that could withstand being with in 1,000 miles from the Sun without burning up. Any closer would turn me to a crisp. My skin tingled at the thought of destroying, technically, my first planet .It would take years before I could destroy a whole Solar System.

"Tarneus, are you ready. Get in the ship and report first to the Sigma Planet before going forth to purge. We will need confirmation to start to Terra-form the planet." "Yes sir!" I snapped. This was going to be fun. It made me giddy with excitement to know that I had the power to destroy an entire race at my finger tips.

Upon entering the ship, I thought I would be alone. I was wrong. In there were three other Lais-jins. And they were most unwelcome.

"Tarneus, we are here to see if everything is alright with ship. We wouldn't want you to have another little 'accident' Hm?" This he said with a smirk and a mysterious glint in his eye. A glint, I didn't like. "Get that silly smirk off your face, hurry on with it and get the fuck off of my ship!" The one that spoke first wasn't smirking anymore. He picked up his tool box and beckoned his friends to follow him. Now I was the one smirking. Here we go.

Once the four red freaks were out of the ship, I fired it up as quickly as I could. I regretted this action, because when the ship left the atmosphere and blasted into orbit, I was slmmmed around like a rag doll. I could barely control the ship! Once the rocking calmed down I put the ship on auto-pilot and relaxed. I was too anxious to get into space so I decided to speed things up.

A few hours into space, there was a hissing sound. I looked to the source of it and found a computer rising out of it's panel. A ugly red face appeared on the screen. "Do not forget to stop by Sigma Planet and---"

"Oh fuck off old man. I'm doing things my way now. So whatever I say goes. Don't worry, I'll tell you when the planet is dust"

The voice on the screen began to get agitated. "You are not to blow the planet up, just exterminate the people. You will follow orders lik----" I crushed the computer panel. It was no fun if I couldn't use my power? I wasn't playing by the rules, I knew, but I couldn't care much less. This was my first experience and I intended to make the most of it. I was still new to this and I want it to be more fun for me.


This was what I looked forward to since I awakened. The activities on the planet were getting tedious and I wanted more action. I planned very soon on leaving the planet and going off on my own to destroy planet, with nobody popping up on little computer screens tell me what to do.

I would be free.

Then I would blow that god-forsaken planet to smithereens along with all of those ugly red things. Perhaps I was not one of them, maybe they adopted me. But for certain I was not Lais-jin.

The space pod skimmed moons and dodged suns and me, I was having the best time. I don’t know how I managed to forget this much fun, but I would not let it happen again. For a moment the thought scared me, I’ll admit, but the purpose of the trip was more intriguing. I must focus on the task at hand. I cannot allow myself to be disturbed for any reason. Sleeping was not something I wanted to do but had to do. It would be a few weeks before I got to Dusk. And for all the time I’m taking getting there, it had better be worth it.
To be continued....
