The Mysterious Book (A Dragon Ball Z Fanfic)

Part 11

While they were searching, Yamato was dealing with the wounds on my body behind a big boulder.

"Honoka... Honoka can you hear me? I am here, right here! Honoka, answer me!" Yamato was nearly crying at his own words while gripping my hand tightly.

He felt like he had lost me when his tear fell on my cheek. Then, like in any other fairy tale, I opened my heavy eyelids.

"Honoka! Are you okay? I... I thought I lost you!"

Yamato lightly hugged me.

"What...? What happened?" I asked, not remembering anything.

"Well, you were unconscious the moment I came here. You were hurt so bad by Freiza, I couldn't take it when I looked at him! But luckily, I am glad you aren't hurt bad because you defended yourself with fire!"

"F...Fire...?" I repeated faintly.

With that one word, the memories of the past few minutes came flooding back in my mind.

With that, I suddenly got up.

"I-I remember everything! I have powers and... and I was fighting Freiza! I remember!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, you are still recovering so take it easy Honoka! I wouldn't like it if you didn't heal soon because we kinda have our hands full here..." Yamato spoke while urging me to lie down.

"How's Gohan? Is he alright?"

"Yes, he is in good hands ever since me and the others came to the rescue."

"Thank goodness..." I said with a faint smile.

"Well, you don't even need to worry because even I have powers just like you!" Yamato cried happily.

"Really?! Well, now Yukiya is the only one left... Speaking of which, how's he doing?"

"Yeah, he's alright."

Just then, we heard a sound of a big thud outside.

"Are they fighting Freiza?" I asked in concern.

"Yeah... and it is all for our sake..." Yamato told sadly.

"Looks like someone else joined the party... Who could it be?" I said curiously while getting up.

"I wonder?"

The person or rather, the people we say were...

"Yukiya!!!"

I was so shocked and happy to see him that I immediately ran towards him with arms wide open. I hugged him tightly from behind.

"Yukiya! You are alright! I am so happy to see you here!"

Yukiya didn't even have time to react to this sudden event until I let go. He then turned around to face me with a really gentle look.

"Honoka... I am also happy to see you. Wait... You're hurt everywhere! What happened?!"

"Oh... It's nothing really. I just happened to run into Freiza and well-"
"That monster is gonna pay!" Yukiya spat with closed fists which were shaking with anger.

"Don't worry Yukiya. I can handle myself now that I have powers!" I reassured while taking his hand.

"Really?! You too?! So I am not the only one from our group, huh... That's a relief..."

"Yeah and Yamato as well!" I answered happily.

"Either way, I won't let anyone hurt you now."

Now this time it was Yukiya who hugged me back. Yamato slightly flinched painfully from the scene as he glanced from the shadows.

"Awww! Look at you two! But could you mind saving these happy moments for later?"

I turned towards the MOST familiar voice.

"Wha... What?! Goku?!"

I was so shocked that my jaw dropped, but at the same time, I was really excited to meet my favourite character from the series. My heart was in an rollercoaster of emotions.

(OMGGG!!! KYAAA!)

"Yup that's me! Although I am surprised you know me when I have never seen you guys before, not to mention, here!"

"Oh... Haha it's a long story." I replied awkwardly.

"Don't worry Honoka, I already explained everything to him." Yukiya said.

"Yeah, and this is too cool to take in! I mean, I have fans from another dimension!" Goku confessed happily.

"Hey, Honoka! How dare you leave me behind! I was the one who nursed you and this is the thanks I get?!" Yamato spoke with a pouting face.

"And I so can't believe that Yukiya, too, forgot about my health! Thank you very much, bro...!" Yamato continued.

"Your welcome." Yukiya said with his sarcastic smile.

"Ugh! You guys are so mean!" Yamato muttered while turning away.

"Oh, you must be the 'annoying' kid Yukiya mentioned!" Goku commented while examining Yamato from head to toe.

"Yeah... That's him." Yukiya answered in his place.

"Okay guys, stop fighting! Don't we have bigger problems to deal with now?" I said when the fight kinda got outta control with Yamato and Yukiya glaring sharply at each other.

"Oh right! I almost forgot why I was even here in the first place! Haha." Goku told while scratching his head.

"So...? How tough is this Freiza guy anyway?"

Just when one of us was gonna answer him, we heard a loud shot, almost like that of a gun.

"What was that?!" Yamato questioned.
"Don't... Don't tell me it's!" I replied, but stopped.

"We gotta go!"

We all nodded at Yamato's words.

I was riding on the fire like a flying 'skateboard' while Yukiya and Goku were flying in front of me with Yamato running down like lightning. It really felt like we were in an action movie which, ironically, we were! We were going straight to the battlefield field.

(I am pretty sure it is that part...)

I looked at Yamato, whose expression showed that he and I were in the same boat. When we reached the place, I was right. Vegeta just got shot right on his heart from Freiza's laser shot. And the same scene happened like that in the saga; Goku and Vegeta's talk, Vegeta crying while Freiza was in his final transformation, and it ended with Goku finally burying Vegeta.

We all were silent with only Goku glaring at Freiza. Yamato and I should have warned them about this when we were the only ones who knew about it! I felt so guilty that I started clenching my fists. Then, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see Yukiya looking at me.

"It's okay, it is not your fault Honoka. Don't you remember that he will be alive in the end?"

"Y-Yeah... But still!"

I was about to cry when even Goku looked back at me with a happy expression to say 'don't give up, we can still fight him for everyone who died from his hands.' Only then I felt relieved and I looked at Freiza with a serious expression, including everyone else. Now the real battle between good and evil starts!
