Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ VNL:Tears from an Angel ❯ Glissian warrior, true warrior ( Chapter 3 )
I don't own DBZ so please don't sue me...
"What the hell are you bakas staring at?" The belligerent Prince bellowed at the faces that were still surrounding him from his place on the look out floor.
"What do you think? We're looking at you. Not everyday you see the Prince of all Saiyans drop cold to the floor for no reason." 18 snapped at him.
"Hmpft." He responded as he stood up and took his all to familiar stance to the group.
"Next plan of attack anyone?"
"How are we going to attack something or someone we can't even sense Piccolo?"
"We'll figure out a way kid. You always know we do."
"I know, and Vegeta, what the heck were you mumbling about anyways?"
"I do not mumble brat."
"Glissian warrior, true warrior ring a bell?" Vegeta cocked his head towards Gohan after he spoke those words.
"I have never spoken those words."
"Want to bet sweet cheeks? I heard you and I was half way to the doors over there." Vegeta jerked his head to find his favorite android from hell walking toward him with his shoulder length black locks plaster back almost in the same manner as his own.
"Um, didn't I tell you to go and wash that shit out of your hair before you know who saw it?" 18 gritted her teeth trying to hold back her own laughter as Vegeta started to turn bright red with anger. The outside of his ears were bright as cherries, his fist clenched so hard that he would have been able to draw blood through his gloves, the little vein on his forehead throbbing about ready to explode.
"What the fuck is this?" Vegeta roared, his body boiling in anger.
"Oh you don't like it? And I thought you'd love to have me as a sidekick." 17 pouted.
"Side kick your head clean off your freakin shoulders. We are in the middle of battle with the enemy and you are playing dress up like a freak."
"I don't see any battles going on around here man. Just look around the kids are gone, and four of our fighters are gone. Who knows what is going to happen to them." 17 shouted back at Vegeta, his anger almost rivaling that of the smaller saiyan.
"We do not need to be at each others throats right now. Might I suggest we calm down and see if we can figure out what we are missing here?" Shin bravely walking in between the android and Prince to keep the peace.
"How dare this piece of trash insult me in such a manner. Once this is all over with you will be on the top of my things to destroy list you hear me?"
"Promise?"
Angel awoke with a start, her mind still hazy with the thoughts and dreams that still hung in her mind. The last thing that she could remember clearly was asking Kaleeco why he was being so gracious to her. Then it all came flooding back to her like a damn being broken. The triangle, the three circles that adorned it. It couldn't be. It was the mark of the Glissian Warrior. She had so many un-answered questions for him. How did he get here, working for Corvine, where there any survivors from the planet? She wasn't the last of her great race left in the entire universe. The cell door opened quietly and closed, she could feel the presence of another in the cell with her.
"Who's there?" She commanded in a unwavering voice.
"Just me Princess." She breathed a sigh of relief when it was Kaleeco's voice that had answered her. She steadily got to her feet letting her eyes adjust to the darkness to see the out line of his sculptured body. He had a muscular build like her mate's but he was much taller. His dark chestnut color hair was pulled back in a ponytail reaching half way down his back. His green eyes were enchanting to look at.
"I've brought you some food and some medical supplies. I also brought you some clothing and a blanket." Angel gave a small smile to him and gave him a small bow of appreciation.
"Are you the only one?"
"What do you mean the only one?"
"Survivor Kaleeco. Do you know of anyone else of our home?"
"I am the only one that I know of besides you. I have been in Corvine's armies for a very long time working my way up the ranks. With all the traveling and planets I have been upon. You are the last remaining Glissian I have laid eyes upon."
"I see. Thank you. You have quelled my curiosity. I have always wondered in the back of my mind if anyone made it out alive."
"Here, have something to eat. I sure there will be plenty of time to talk. Let me look at that nasty wound you have." Kaleeco shoved the tray of food toward her, his eyes looking over the bloody wound on her shoulder.
"It's nothing. Don't worry about it really."
"Until some nasty virus or germs they call it get in to it and starts becoming infected."
"Can you leave the ship anytime you want?" She questioned as she picked up some bread from the tray and picked at it, taking small pieces to eat.
"I can come and go as I please. I am a Captain for the Vershie."
"Vershie? What is that?"
"It's a special unit I command. Most of the scouts under my command are much like myself. They do carry some compassion."
"I was wondering. If you can not get me out of here soon, could you take a message to my friends?"
"If they do not kill me, I will be glad to do it for you my lady."
"I have tried, desperately to contact my mate through our bond. I cannot reach him."
"Bond?"
"Saiyan thing actually. We share out thoughts and pain like telepathy. I can block him from my thoughts as he can mine. But I don't think he would be blocking me at this moment not knowing where I am."
"It's the ship and Corvine. He does not want you to communicate with the others and give away his hidden location."
"Like I know where I am now anyways. I was unconscious when I arrived. Ouch damn it that hurt." Angel pulled her shoulder away from him. The liquid he was using to clean the wound stung very badly springing tears to her eyes.
"I'm sorry. I'm almost done here."
"Good, if Vegeta knew how close you were to me and you were touching me he'd throw the worlds biggest temper tantrum."
"Saiyan you say? That wouldn't be pretty then. I assure you I do not intend to intrude on his mate. I'm just merely a fellow Glissian helping out one of his own. Besides I have a consort. Kui is her name." He gave a small chuckle to himself as he finished patching her up.
"Thank you, you have been most kind."
"There is a small lantern with the blanket for you. Your message madam?" She looked at him for a moment before she remembered what she had asked of him.
"Oh, yes of course. Please tell Vegeta that I am safe along with the rest of senshi. I know it is probably against you, but you should leave Corvine and fight with us against him."
"A traitor amongst Corvine? I kind of like that idea."
"Tell him Puwi Keni. He will remember it is me that sent you."
"Angel tears? I will remember." Kaleeco bowed to her and made his exit.
"Vegeta, what ever you do, please don't kill him." She whispered to herself.
Minutes dragged into hours, hours into an eternity. The entire Z senshi weather they were at the lookout or stuck in one of Corvine's filthiest cells were growing tired of waiting. Angel was suffering from mate withdrawals, her hands shaking lightly as she pictured his face in her mind. As for Vegeta he was fighting against his own emotions again. He would not let the others know how this was taking its toll on his mind and body even though the worse was yet to come.
"Some one is coming towards the look out. I don't recognize the ki." Gohan announced to his brother and former sensei.
"Either do I. Who ever it is can hold their own against us." Gohan and Goten both nodded in agreement with the elder Namek. They watch in awe as a tall man landed not far from them, sizing them up for the most part.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Gohan queried the stranger as he powered up slightly incase the person was there to attack them.
"No need for a show of power. I know what kind of power you all posses. I am looking for Prince Vegeta. I have a message from the Princess for him."
"That answered part of my question. Who are you first?"
"I am Captain Kaleeco, Leader of the Vershie Scouts of Corvine. I am not here to start a fight. I wish to help actually."
"I don't trust anyone that is aligned with that scum."
"That is up to you to decide. I must get this message to Prince Vegeta immediately please."
"Goten, go get Dad and Vegeta. Piccolo and myself will watch this guy." Goten eyed his brother for a second before turning quickly on his heel to get the others. Kaleeco watched the younger Son rush off inside Dende's palace before returning his gaze back to Gohan and Piccolo.
"Saiyan and Namek yes?"
"None of your business."
"Sorry, but I have a feeling you will trust me soon." The crowd of people coming towards Gohan and Piccolo caught Kaleeco's eye. He was impressed with all the power the small group created at the site of him.
"I have come with a message not to fight. I wish to speak to Prince Vegeta."
"I am Vegeta, Prince of all Saiyans. What is it you want before I tear your head off?"
"I have a message from Mickila for you."
"I do not believe you. As far as I know she is dead."
"Puwi Keni mean anything to you sir?" Kaleeco bowed to Vegeta. Vegeta walked towards him studying the taller, muscular warrior in front of him before he lifted Kaleeco up by his throat swiftly with no effort.
" I don't care if you come here in peace. I want my mate back now! Where is she?"
"If you would let me down so I can explain this to you it would be much easier your highness." Vegeta growled low in his chest before he brought the man back down to his feet. Kaleeco rubbed his throat for a second before straitening out his armor and clothing to look respectable again.
"As I told these individuals when I arrived, I am Kaleeco, Captain of the Vershie Scouts of Corvine. Mickila asked me to deliver a message to you personally along with the rest of the Z senshi."
"Spit it out then, I am lacking patience today."
"She says to tell you that she is fine for the moment. The others that are there with her are fine as well. She has tried to contact you but with no avail. I would like to say that would be on purpose of Corvine and his wonderful ship and mind control. He's in her mind and she don't even know it."
"And you come here after speaking to her and risk your own life as a traitor? Applaudable act."
"I know mind control as well. I can block his powers. Corvine has no clue that I have talked with her about anything. He doesn't even know I have left the ship to come here to talk to you."
"Don't even play your mind control shit with us. We Saiyans can resist it." Goku was about to open his mouth before Vegeta shot him an evil look.
"Kakarott, I suggest you keep your mouth shut baka." Goku backed up with his hands out in front of him; he wasn't going to fight with Vegeta over something trivial.
"No tricks I assure you. I am lending my support to you along with my scout unit to defeat Corvine. I do this for Mickila, your planet and my planet that was destroyed by his hand."
"What is your home planet?" 18 asked in her monotone voice.
"Glissa, same as Mickila. If you want proof I will be glad to show you." Kaleeco unfastened his armor chest plate and dropped it to the floor, presenting his back to the warriors showing the mark of the Glissian Warrior.
"Glissian Warrior, true warrior." Vegeta uttered almost silently.
"I'll be damned he has the same mark as Angel." 17 blurted out catching everyone's attention.
"Kaleeco, You and Mickila are not the only survivors of Glissa." Shin spoke in a very soothing voice as he approached. Kaleeco turned slowly around to study the smaller warrior that stood in front of him.
"I watched the planet blow up. I was the only one that went with Corvine after he slaughtered millions of people without mercy. Raped and pillaged was ordered throughout the ranks as commands from him."
"I know, I was there."
"And you survived how?"
"I am the Supreme Kai, there are others still surviving. I will tell you where to find them after Corvine is destroyed along with anyone that follows him." Kaleeco's eyes widen with the news, he had heard of the Supreme Kai as a child and heard rumors of him while serving with Corvine but had never seen him.
"I will gather my scouts and tell them that we are to support any operation you wish to defeat Corvine with. It will not be easy. But the others and I have knowledge of the ship and how things operate to give to you to help. But I must be going. I must go and check on your warriors and children. I don't trust the other guards with them." Kaleeco bowed deeply to the Z senshi before he started walking towards the edge of the lookout. He stopped for a moment, gave a quick glance over his shoulder to them and gave a small smile and nod before taking flight leaving everyone still in a state of shock.
"I don't trust him." Vegeta said bluntly to everyone.
"Trust him. He has nothing to hide from any of us. Glissian have a code they live by. Remember the symbol of the mark and what it means. The three sides of the triangle are that of mother, father, and child. The three rings that adorn it means never ending love, courage and pride for their race. I don't think he would betray another Glissian warrior."
"Well then, if he turns out to be a traitor to use I'll blame it all on you then." Vegeta scowled down to Shin and walked away.
The light of the sun gave way to the darkening skies. The gold mixing with dark hues of blue and purple washed the horizon as Kaleeco made his way back to the ship to check on Angel and the others still locked in their cells. He was met by a few of his scouts under his command outside of the ship entrance as he landed before them. One of the scouts with pale blue skin came up to greet him with a bow.
"Captain, Corvine has taken the courtesan from the cell."
"What Sorel? When?" Kaleeco pushed past the group with Sorel following on his heels at the same pace.
"About thirty minutes ago sir. I couldn't rouse suspicion by trying to stop him."
"And the others?"
"They are still in the cell. I have given them food and water. I also gave them some blankets for their comfort."
"Good, very good Sorel. Please go find the rest of the scouts and tell them I have met up with the Z senshi. Everything is a go. We will make our move to get everyone out of here by tomorrow night at the latest. I do not trust Corvine with Angel err Mickila damn what ever she wants to be called."
"Yes sir. I will alert everyone then." Sorel bowed once more and ran in the other direction to collect the Vershie scouts together for an impromptu meeting. Kaleeco moved at breakneck speed down the corridors that lead towards the cells hoping Angel was brought back without one of his scouts knowing. He entered the prisoner holding section and slowed his pace nodding to guards as he passed. He was caught in surprise when he saw two guards standing by the cell in which was Angels. The two guards bowed to Kaleeco as he came closer.
"Is the prisoner alright?"
"She will be fine. Corvine sent us down her to make sure she didn't try anything funny."
"Well, you are dismissed from guard duty, both of you. The Vershie will guard these prisoners." One of the guards opened his mouth but closed it quickly knowing full well never to second guess Captain Kaleeco or any of the Vershie scouts. They were the best of the best, elites. Kaleeco went down to the other cell and went in to check on the children and warriors quickly before he went to check on Angel. He opened the cell door and entered checking first that the six prisoners would not ambush him.
"Are you all ok?"
"Who are you?" Trunks inquired as he stood in front of the rest.
"I am Kaleeco, I am here to help you. I have spoken to Vegeta and the Supreme Kai. They know of me and my efforts to get you and Angel released from her."
"Is my Mommy ok?" Came the soft voice of Bra from behind Trunks.
"She was fine when I left here earlier. I'm going to check on her after I leave here. She is two cells down from here. I'm going to try and get her in here with the rest of you. I don't like the idea of her being by herself. One of my guards will be back here shortly, if you need anything please ask him. Just look for the scout patch on his armor like mine." Kaleeco bowed to them and left in a hurry to be greeted in the hall by Sorel and another guard.
"Marath, make sure the prisoners in that cell get anything they need. Sorel come with me." Kaleeco gestured for Sorel to follow him down to Angel's cell. Sorel unlocked the cell door sending light into the darkest corners of the cell. Kaleeco entered first seeing Angel in the corner curled up in a ball. He knelt down to her, moving her cloak from around her head so he could see her.
"Mickila? Are you alright?" He pulled some of her tangled hair away from her face noticing a nasty looking bruise across her cheek.
"Shit. Come here let me see that." Kaleeco pulled on her arm to get her to turn towards him so he could assess the damage.
"You spit in his face again?"
"No, I kicked his ass." She smirked at Kaleeco. His eyes widen with amusement.
"And that's why you have the ki draining collar on now. Angel he could kill you with a snap of his fingers."
"Be better then him haunting my dreams and trying to kill my friends."
"No it wouldn't. Stop talking that way. We are all leaving tomorrow night. I have my squad working on the final plans right now as we speak."
"I'm not holding my breath on that."
"Trust me remember. I delivered your message to the Prince. He didn't believe me as you said he wouldn't. But I think I have gained some trust with them. I will tell them of the plans tomorrow morning."
"If there is going to be any resistance I will need this collar off to fight. You might want to consider getting your mates off this ship before we go. I can't say if Vegeta and the rest will spare them when it comes to blowing up this ship."
"I will bring that up with them in the morning. I will have all the scouts pack their belongings and have their consorts ready to leave when the time comes."
"Good. I will be ready let the others know also."
"Already have Princess. I will have my guards at the doors so if you need anything let them know. And if you need me they will come and get me at once. Please if Corvine comes back down here don't do anything that will risk your life. My scouts will not be able to stop him, they will not give away that they are going against his rule."
"Can't promise a thing. When someone comes to me wanting sexual favors against my will like he did they're going to get their ass kicked."
"Understood. I will be back later. Please rest up. It's going to be one hell of a day tomorrow." Kaleeco bowed to Angel and took his leave.
"Rest? What the hell is that? When you have a life like mine you don't have time to." She sighed and tried to get comfortable with what she had. The blanket was think and scratchy like wool. She gave a slight frown and threw it on the dirty grimy floor and used her cloak as a blanket. She leaned her head against the wall where she sat in the corner trying to have sleep come fast.
