Separated From One Another

Chapter Twenty-two: Bitch Try Me

You woke in a cold sweat, the back of your neck still coated in dired blood. The sun was high in the sky, and you felt multiple power levels again, someone was fighting they were a while away from where you were. On shaky feet you exited the cave, you had been trying to recover in. Your body was tired but you kept moving, they would need all the help they could get.

Now that you were closer you could feel two high power levels fighting each other, you recognised them both—Goku and Cooler were fighting each other. Your steps became hurried, they were fighting, they were fighting. You needed to do something about it, desperation fueled your movements as you ran forward. Ignoring the sharp pain in your neck every time you took a step.

You heard the sounds of battle before you saw them exchanging blows, Cooler was beating Goku. Cooler was in a different form than before, this one larger and more muscular. There was nothing Goku could do as he was smashed into the cliff face. Your heart dropped at the sight, Cooler was winning.

"So this is the mighty Super Saiyan that defeated my brother" Cooler sneered, jumping back up into the sky, "How ridiculous."

Your body moved before you could register what was going on, you hit him on the side of the head. Sending him soaring backwards to recover, you placed yourself between him and Goku.

"Oh? What is this?" Cooler taunted, "This monkey couldn't beat me but you think you can?"

"Not really—that doesn't mean I'm not going to try."

The back of your neck burned, white hot electricity shot up into your hair. Cooler raised a brow at the display, heat steaming off you in thick waves. The pain was unbearable but you were not going to allow your—your family to suffer just because you were in a little—lot—of pain.

Clenching your fists, you mirrored Cooler; he shot a beam and you met him with one of your own. With a growl he leaped forward, cocking back his fist to punch you in the face; you did not bother blocking hitting him with a punch of your own. Your teeth ached as your ki surged, hitting him in the gut before he could recover.

A muffled snarl broke out of Cooler's mouth, "You are going to die with the rest of these filthy lifeforms, to think father thought I should bring you back alive."

The faded scar on your wrist tingled at the mention of King Cold, that bastard put a control device in your arm. Cooler restarted his attack, shooting off ki blast after ki blast at you. All you could do to defend yourself was block, there was a pause in the assault and Cooler surged forward. You caught him with a sharp punch to the gut, he let out a choked gasp; before he could reorient himself you hit him again, sending him flying backward.

Cooler shot a large energy beam off at you, using your fist you punched through it allowing the energy to vanish from sight. The dust the beam had kicked up obscured your vision, your eyes shot up at the sound of laughter. Cooler was high above you with the biggest ball of ki you had ever seen.

"I'm done playing around, you can die with the rest of your planet," He cried, throwing the Supernova down at the planet.

You met the energy head on, holding your arms above your head to catch it. The pressure was unimaginable, sweat beading down your face. You needed to get rid of this or else everyone on the planet would die. Goku. Gohan. Bulma. Trunks. You would never see any of them again. Tears burned your eyes, with a loud scream you pressed against the ki. Forcing more into your hands, your white ki spread out through the yellow ki.

All at one the Supernova was gone, Cooler blinked staring at the empty space where his ki once was. Pain shot through your body, burn marks marred your hands. Cooler landed in front of you, a sharp glare on his face as he kicked you to the ground. Your muscles spasmed, they were no longer responding to your commands.

He stepped on your back with a growl, "Acursed wretch, die already."

His eyes glowed, he was going to kill you now, you had tried to help but it was all for not. Your ki surged from yoru chest, lashing out at Cooler of its own accord. His power level dropped till there was nothing left. Cooler was dead.

He fell backward to the ground with a dull thud, you breath a small of relief, it was over The clear sky high above you head, the wind caressing your cheek. You could almost hear someone calling your name. You paused. Someone was calling your name. You scrambled up at the sound of your name on a familiar tongue, Gohan ran forward. He paused for a long moment as he stared at Cooler's body, brushing it off as he ran to you. Falling to your side, his eyes raked over you looking at the wounds on your body.

"Are you okay...?" You asked, head spinning wildly.

"I'm fine, but you aren't," Tears streamed down his face, "It's my fault if only I—"

"Stop," You snapped, breaking off his worrisome thought process, "It is not your fault, he would not have done something dirty to get a one up on... dad anyways."

Gohan paused, "You called him dad."

"Yeah... guess I did," You muttered, you were tired.

Krillin came out of the rubble and helped Goku limp over to you. Relief flooded your system, no one was hurt too bad; you had helped out.

Goku made a face, "What did you do back to kill him?"

You blinked thinking back to when Cooler had fallen over dead, "I'm not too sure myself, my ki was acting strangely."

Pausing, you thought for a long moment, now that it was mentioned, your ki was in some sort of hibernation state. You could barely access enough of it to fly, it was not answering to you any more.

"Where's Piccolo?" Gohan asked.

Krillin glanced around, "He should be around here somewhere."

Some stones nearby shifted, and Gohan turned expecting to be greeted with the sight of his green friend. Only for one of Cooler's minions to burst from the ground.

"YOU WILL PAY!" He cackled with an odd accent, he must have been from Space France.

Before he could do anything a spiraling beam shot out of no where and stopped him in his tracked. Gohan turned to look where the beam came from with a smile, that must have been Piccolo. Now everything was truly over, you allowed your eyes to close.
