Feelings and a Long Awaited Revenge
Vegeta showered the regen fluid off his body and dressed as Andrea brought him up to date on everything that had happened. Then she stepped to one side as Vegeta had a small talk with Goten and Trunks. She didn't pay any attention to what he said. She just stood next to Hiei and tried to think of nothing. That is until Hiei spoke into her mind.
'I'm going to kill Freiza for what he did to you.' said Hiei's voice in her mind.
Without realizing it Andrea replied in the same way. `And most likely get yourself killed in the process without even putting a single scratch on Freiza. Don't put yourself in a fight that you can't win because of me. Besides I believe that if anyone deserves to kill Freiza it's `Geta. Once I get the device that keeps him from powering up out, he will kill Freiza.'
Hiei's reply was incredulous. `I sense little power in these people and yet you say they are extremely powerful. I don't get it.'
For a moment Andrea was confused, but then she understood. Hiei didn't know that most of a Saiyans power was locked within until they powered up. That to see their true power you had to look deeper. She told this to Hiei without using words. Then, when he had realized the Saiyans true power and it nearly drove him to his knees, she caught him.
A moment later Vegeta came and stood beside Andrea. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"Let's just say he was scanning for power on the wrong frequency and I showed him the right one," said Andrea.
Vegeta smirked, but said nothing as Hiei regained his footing.
Trunks and Goten stood on either side of Vegeta with Trunks on the left and Goten on the right. Suddenly all three Saiyans turned the heads toward the door and a split second later the door opened to reveal a very smug Freiza.
Andrea felt Hiei's body tense through the arm she had placed around his waist to support him. She saw the anger on Vegeta and Hiei's faces as she was dragged out of the room by Freiza. She had hated the expression on Vegeta's face after he had stopped Goten and Trunks from attacking Freiza. Though the way they had fallen into identical fighting stances had been weird, but Andrea didn't have much time to think about it as Freiza dragged her down several corridors.
A short time later Andrea was pushed into a room seemingly at random. Against the far wall of the room a black-robbed man sat in a throne-like chair. Jaffa stood to either side of the man who seemed to have no face. Though she had never met him, Andrea knew this person to be the one that Selmak had called Anubis.
Freiza pushed Andrea foreword until she stood only a few feet in front of Anubis. Freiza pushed her onto her knees, but she immediately got back up.
"Kneel before your God," ordered Anubis in that oddly doubled voice that both the Goa'uld and the Tok'ra seemed to use.
"Never will I willingly lower myself before scum like you. You are a liar and a stupid one at that. I despise men like you," said Andrea, spitting on the floor for good measure.
"You dare call me a liar? You dare to call your God a liar? People of your rank should silently obey their God, not defy them," said Anubis angrily. The Jaffa who flanked his throne appeared shocked at the defiant ways of the young girl in front of their God.
"You mention rank as if you had some idea as to the rank I hold. You know nothing of what I am. You treat me as a common heathen, but I am not that. I am the Queen of Fire and a Saiyan Princess. I think that trumps a false-god any day. Especially one like you. I have heard of how you claim to have ruled over Ancient Egypt, yet I sense no Shadow Magic in you. I doubt you could summon a Kuriboh. There is no way a weakling like you ruled in Ancient Egypt for more then a few seconds at most," said Andrea, her voice holding contempt.
The Jaffa on Anubis's right slapped Andrea forcefully, leaving behind a light bruise. A moment later that Jaffa was turned into a flaming torch. Another moment and there was nothing left of the unfortunate Jaffa other then a small pile of ashes on the floor. Andrea smirked at the site, but inside she was wondering why she had taken pity on the soldier and if she should kill Anubis while she had the chance. She probably
would have if Freiza hadn't knocked her unconscious at that moment.
Hiei worriedly brushed a lock of hair off Andrea's forehead. Freiza had brought her to the small room that the group had been moved into. The Bastard had thrown Andrea, but Hiei had caught her. The Bastard had even taken Goten with him. The child had not been returned, but Hiei didn't care about the kid. He cared about Andrea and the scary thing was he didn't know why, but that didn't matter. The only thing that mattered was how right it felt to have Andrea's head in his lap.
Suddenly a shadow fell across Andrea's face and Hiei looked up into Vegeta's midnight-black eyes. "You like her, don't you?" asked Vegeta quietly. Hiei's response was a small nod. "Then don't break her heart." Vegeta walked to the other side of the small room where his son, Trunks, lay curled up in a small ball. The child had cried himself to sleep after Goten had been taken away.
Hiei's fingers ran through Andrea's long, tangled hair, smoothing away the tangles until her hair was smooth and silky against his fingers. The girl confused him. She was so innocent despite the terrible things that had been done to her. So empathetic towards her adopted brother that she would deny herself the revenge that was her right. In his eyes she was perfect and in his heart he loved her.
Andrea opened her eyes slowly, not knowing where she would be. The first thing she saw was Hiei's red eyes. Next was him smiling at her. A moment later she realized that her head was in his lap. If he had been anyone else, she would have freaked.
She sat up slowly and looked around the small room. It was bare and had two doors. One of the doors was locked in an open position and the other obviously led to a small with a narrow bed. From where Andrea sat she could see a doorway in that room that led to a small bathroom. She noticed Vegeta and Trunks on the other side of the room, but could not see Goten. She wondered where he was for a moment and then noticed Trunks' tear-stained face. That face told all she needed to know. Goten had been taken by Freiza and that Trunks had somehow bonded to Goten. Andrea leaned back against Hiei's chest.
A moment later Goten walked in, exhausted and barely able to walk. His face was anguished. Trunks got up and ran to Goten, throwing his arms around him as the younger boy collapsed. Somehow Andrea knew that, even if it would take a while, Goten would be just fine. Love did heal all wounds with time.
A moment later the Fire Sorceress appeared in a flash of light and, even before that light began to dim, Vegeta was standing between it and Andrea.
Andrea got up reluctantly. She walked over to where Vegeta stood and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"She can be trusted, `Geta," said Andrea.
Vegeta nodded, but remained in the fighting stance that he had assumed.
Andrea stepped foreword and accepted the small package that the Fire Sorceress held and then the figure disappeared in the same way that she had appeared. The package, a small cardboard box, contained a small jar of the anesthetic, a disinfectant, a sharp knife, and a short note that consisted of two words written in Japanese: Contact us.
Andrea handed the note to Hiei and said, "Do you want to or should I?"
"Hn," was Hiei's response as he pulled out a communications mirror. A moment later he and Yusuke were deep in conversation. She started to lay out the objects in the box; preparing to remove the object that kept her brother from Freiza.
An hour later she was done, the nasty device was removed and the wound its removal had created had been healed. She even did the same for Goten and Trunks. They had even managed to fit in a huge Saiyan sized meal.
Soon the group was marching down corridor after corridor, closing in on Freiza. Vegeta had powered up to Super Saiyan Three and was quite an impressive site. He took the lead, while Goten and Trunks who had fused and become Gotenks took the rear. Gotenks who was also Super Saiyan Three was taking potshots at anyone who dared attack from behind. Nothing got close enough to either Andrea or Hiei for them to do anything except watch. The closer they got to Freiza, the more the resistance thickened, but no matter how many Jaffa came up against Vegeta or Gotenks, they were easily blown away with extremely small ki-blasts or punches.
The last obstacle before they reached Freiza was Anubis, but just as Vegeta was about to ki-blast him into oblivion, Andrea stopped him. "Let me, `Geta." Vegeta extinguished the ki-blast in his hand and a split-second later Anubis had been reduced to a small pile of ashes.
It didn't take much effort to kill Freiza. In a way it was a let down, but at least they knew that Freiza was dead this time. They had a pile of ashes to prove it. Hiei had insisted on burning Freiza's corpse to ashes to make sure.
Andrea felt as though a weight had been lifted from her. A weight that she hadn't even realized existed. Everything was clearer. She wasn't happy, too much had happened for her to be that yet, but there was a contentment and something else that she thought was love for Hiei, but she wasn't sure if she was worthy of. After all who would want her as more then a friend? She was damaged goods. He deserved better. She would love him for the rest of her life, but he would still deserve better.
