Dragonball Super - Little Red Riding Hood

Chapter 6 - Big Red

After the incident a week ago, there was always a Z fighter on the Briefs family property. During the day, usually Goku, Vegeta and their apprentice were training. In the night, it was often Piccolo who was outside keeping an eye on them. Gohan had also moved his university research to the house.

One evening after training, there was a large group for dinner. It was actually very homely there. Chi-Chi had come to help cook. Gohan was also helping the ladies. Goku had a conversation with Piccolo about a new technique he was perfecting. Vegeta was sitting under a tree looking towards his house.

Goten and Trunks were discussing a history topic from school. Trunks glanced toward the door where Hana had just entered. After their little kiss, they exchanged few words. Hana walked on to the kitchen to see what was on the table. "Dude are you going to try some more or are you going to give up?" Goten began to poke his friend.

Everyone was sitting outside, it was getting dark but there were plenty of lights hanging. There was a lot of chatter. "I hear a beep" Piccolo noticed first. Everyone fell silent. "My receiver!" yelled Hana suddenly. She grabbed the round disc from her belt.

Then suddenly she jumped up, she had an angry and sad look in her eyes. "I have to go, I have to get out of here" she suddenly called out. She ran from the table, towards her room.

Everyone looked at Vegeta. Who rolled his eyes and stood up. Very calmly he walked behind his student. "Hey kiddo, what's up?" he asked calmly as he leaned against the doorway of her room. Hana looked anxiously in his direction. "I have to get out of here" she stammered.

"And where and of course how did you want to go?" calmly Vegeta stood up straight again. "You have a ship, I saw a ship in a storage hanger the other day" determinedly Hana threw a bag over her shoulder. Vegeta started laughing. "That old thing is not fly ready. Hana let the bag slide off her shoulder.

Bulma had joined them. "What's the matter?" she asked startled. Hana shook her head. "I'm putting you in danger right now. She is coming for me and she is angry". Vegeta stood up straight and crossed his arms "Who?" Anxiously she looked at her teacher "Big red".

Back with the rest of the group, Vegeta ordered Hana to sit. "Talk, who is big red?" Vegeta stood behind her. Trembling, Hana put her receiver on the table and pressed a button. A hologram of a large sturdy woman with wild black hair came up. "Her name is Mieta, she was my mentor and taught me everything about bounty hunting."

"Another Saiyan?" remarked Vegeta. "She was mother's first outcast child. She managed to get away from our camp and planet. Under the nickname big red, she went undercover with the scum of this universe. She was merciless and fierce. I was a problem child, mother made the call that big red had to save me. But she insane, I saw her do things." Hana fought back tears.

A big sigh followed, Hana looked at the picture again. "Mieta knows no honor, more than two years ago she went on the warpath to win a bounty. Nothing remained standing; everything and everyone had to be destroyed. She threw a ki blast at a group; I looked at a little boy around five years old and saw his life disappear from his eyes. I couldn't stand it any longer. She was almost dead after that fight. I left her behind".

Everyone was silent, what was first a sociable table full of chatter now looked like a table after a bad news call. Goku stood up and glanced at Hana. "You're not going anywhere, if that person wants a fight she can have it. Vegeta had a determined look. Piccolo made himself look tall and Gohan stood up as well. Trunks and Goten gave each other a high five.

"But why would you want to help me?" stammered Hana. "Because you are one of us missy" Bulma smiled at her. "One of you?" surprised, she looked across the table at everyone. All the fighters were looking forward to a fight. Hana hadn't expected to feel at home anywhere.

For two days, Goku and Vegeta prepared the young Sayian for the confrontation. Stronger attacks, tactics and more speed. Everything was covered. She knew she was not alone, and somewhere she was looking forward to the upcoming fight.

A ship entered the atmosphere. The group flew toward it. The door opened and there stood big Red. A full-blooded Saiyan woman who was clearly looking for prey. She noticed the group and started laughing "A warm up" she said in a harsh female voice. From behind de group stepped Hana and walked up to her old mentor.

"Little Red, you made friends?" the woman said sarcastically. "What are you doing here?" asked Hana with crossed arms. "I've come to get my wee one, I have a nice bounty and was thinking of a nice reunion. Since this person is on the hate list with both of us".

"Let me guess, Prince Vegeta?" asked Hana knowing the answer would be yes. "Of course, but wait you are already here. Is that your bounty hunter group? That's big". Hana began to laugh. "Oh our highness" called the young girl with a singing tone. Vegeta came to stand beside her. "But what?" startled Mieta .

"What's going on here? You're a traitor, didn't mother teach you what he did to us. What that rule has done to you?" Mieta got so angry that she flew at the two Saiyans. Vegeta knocked her aside with ease. "First of all, I never declared a rule. If it was under my name then you are deceived. Second, you are not as strong as I hoped". Mieta jumped up angrily.

Again Mieta flew at the two, but this time at Hana. She jumped aside with ease. She looked at Vegeta in surprise. "And you thought your training did nothing?" Student and teacher laughed. But Hana looked worriedly at Mieta. "You have to listen to us Mieta. Those rules don't come from Vegeta, and I want everyone to know. But you are the only one with the transmitter to mother".

The large woman continued to attack. The little miss kept dodging. Almost dancing, she circled around her old mentor. "Now listen for once, I want to help our people. But you must listen to what I say". The big woman grabbed a device from her pocket. "You are a traitor, and you will never be with mother again. She will despise you for what you do. She may have a big heart but you are a maggot."

Mieta pressed a button "Mother I have found Hana. She betrayed us. She lives as a maid with Prince Vegeta on planet earth. He has been feeding her lies. I will punish her now." And with that she squeezed the device, it broke. "And now you will never feel mother's love again, maggot."

Suddenly, a man stood in front of Hana. It was Goku, and he was angry. "That was low, you didn't even listen." Mieta started laughing "And who are you sweetie". "That's Kakarot" said Hana with a stern face directed at Mieta. Startled, Mieta looked at Goku. "Th-the Kakarot?" she stuttered. "What's going on here?" he asked in surprise.

"Lies again, this planet stinks" Mieta spit on the ground. "Kakarot is dead, Prince Vegeta is the puppet master and you are a maggot little Red". Hana was fed up and jumped on her and almost knocked her out. A fight between former mentor and pupil arose. But Hana had quickly floored her. Mieta fled into her ship. "You are dead to me, mother will know of your treachery and no one will ever look at you again" And with these words big Red disappeared into the ship and flew away.
