The Mysterious Book (A Dragon Ball Z Fanfic)

Part 10

I was so shocked by what happened. When I opened my eyes, I saw that there was a burnt path which led to Freiza, who actually was down with smoke coming out from his body.

"D-Did I burn him?!"

When I looked around, I saw Gohan, who was also equally shocked as me.

"W-What did you just do...?" Gohan asked, still hurt.

"I... I really don't know... I was just telling him to stop and, well, this happened! I don't even know how I did that!"

(Seriously! How did that happen?!)

"You... You will pay for that, you girl! I won't let you live!" Freiza shouted while getting up on his knees.

Then, he flew towards me at such tremendous speed that I had no time to even react. Before I knew it, he was already holding my neck ever so tightly that I couldn't even breathe.

"How DARE you put a scar on my face?! I am the strongest in the universe, the MIGHTY Freiza! No one can put their hands on me! NO ONE!"

He had clearly gone mad, that it was actually scarier.

"I.... I can't... breathe... let m-me... go!"

"Yeah let her go! Fight me instead!" Gohan insisted while struggling to stand straight, panting.

"Oh, you will get your turn kid... Soon enough!" Freiza turned around to see Gohan, just to warn him to stay away.

"Now, where were we?"

Suddenly he punched my stomach so hard that I spat out blood at his face and he licked it with his tongue. Then he punched my stomach several times until I had no energy left. For his finale, he gave me a last blow on my cheek bone area and threw me by holding my hair so hard that some even ripped.

I fell so hard and bumped a rock, nearly cracking it. I couldn't move, blood was coming from my forehead, my mouth and I had a lot of bruises and scratches on my body.

"No! Honoka I am coming!"

(Go... Gohan... Don't come any...closer... My body, I can't move one bit... Why does it hurt... so much...?)

Unconsciously, tears started flowing from my closed eyes.

At the same time...

Yamato felt a slight tingle flowing through his heart as if someone just punched him on the chest. Unintentionally, he put his hand on his chest.

"Uh... dude, are you okay? You seem pale."

"Honoka... Honoka! No, Honoka is in danger!! I have to go...!"

"What are you talking about? She is perfectly fine with Gohan on her side, right?" Krillen told while looking at Picollo.

"No, you don't understand! I have to go right now! Honoka! I'm coming!"

Yamato sprinted outside the spaceship.

"Uhh... What a pain..." Picollo sighed and took off.

"Man!" Krillen followed.

...

"*Maniac laugh* So... who should I kill first? Hmm... maybe I should take care of the girl..." Freiza whispered while twiddling with his tail.

"No! Ugh... I-I won't let you hurt... her!" Gohan warned, still on the ground, panting heavily.

Freiza didn't pay any attention to Gohan's talk. He just continued towards Honoka. Just that instant...

"Honoka! *Pant* What... What did you do to her! *Pant*" Yamato shouted,  all out of breath.

"Oh no! Gohan!" Krillen went to his side.

"Honoka is in danger... Ugh!" Gohan answered.

Krillen fixed his gaze in Honoka's direction.

"Man... He is outta control!" Krillen clenched his fists in anger.

"Freiza! This girl has nothing to do with this place! Leave her or face us!" Picollo shouted.

"How do you know anything... This brat nearly killed me I must say..."

"What?! Honoka can never!" Yamato stated in shock.

"Well, she could control fire or something because she burnt my face!" Freiza answered in anger.

Everyone looked at Honoka in shock who wouldn't move a muscle.

"I... I don't believe it! She... She cannot have powers here - that's just impossible!" Yamato shot back.

Then, just as Yamato was running towards her, Freiza suddenly popped up in front of him.

"Get outta my way Freiza!"

"Like I would do that boy... She needs to die from this planet so don't INTERFERE!"

As soon as he was about to punch him, Yamato closed his eyes. After a while, he thought he felt no pain whatsoever, so he began opening his eyes.

"Wha... What?!"

The scene in front of him was still like a picture. Only he could move around.
"Did I just do this?! I... I can control time! I, too, have powers!"

Yamato was so happy at his achievement that he nearly forgot what he was supposed to be doing.

"Oh right! I need to see if Honoka is alright." He ran to her aid.

"Oh man... Look at you... He will pay, I swear that he will pay!" Yamato was raging with anger.

He held Honoka in his arms and took her to safety.

"Oww... My head feels dizzy... I feel so tired..." Yamato murmured.

As he was thinking this, the 'still' picture started moving again. Freiza hit mid air.

"What?! Where did you go, brat?!!" He started looking around and so did the rest.
