Chapter Nine: Victorious?

Chapter Nine: Victorious?

Time slowed, or at least it very much seemed to. For a brief moment you almost want to give up, to cease resisting - you're just that tired...

"(y/n)!" Comes the familiar voice of Trunks through your scouter, his tone conveyed enough - he was afraid, for the mission if not you, and making little effort to hide it at this point. "Come on! Don't give up yet!"

Regaining your common sense, or at least your sense of self-preservation, your eyes snap open again and you redouble your efforts to free yourself, wrapping a hand around your opponents ankle in an attempt to remove his foot from your chest - unfortunately your actions merely make him push down harder.
You see the dark purple glow of ki flicker into existence before his fingertips and at the back of your mind wonder why exactly he's taking his sweet time finishing you - not that you were complaining.
Perhaps it amused him to watch you struggle? True or not the idea enrages you and with a growl you gather what energy you can spare into your palm, quickly throwing it towards the figure looming over you.

He bats the attack aside with his free hand. "That's not going to work thi-"

A ball of ki suddenly collides with his back, though you weren't sure who threw it, and you instantly use the interruption to your advantage, pushing the dazed icejin off of you before clambering to your feet.

Just as you are about to jump back in a temporary retreat Frieza grabs your arm while simultaneously turning his head to find his attacker.

The icejin's scowl deepens and you hear him growl lowly in irritation. There was a unpleasant cracking sound as his grip tightened to the point the armour on your wrist almost shattered entirely. Coincidentally this happened at the same moment his dark red eyes landed on a now conscious Vegeta.

The now broken bio-armour loosened his hold just enough to allow you to pull yourself free - this time you waste no second in fleeing to a safer distance.

Frieza doesn't bother to stop you this time, he doesn't even look back at you as you make your getaway - landing on a large grey, craggy rock and panting heavily.

"You..." He begins, his tone venomous as his eyes narrow at the weakened saiyan. Whatever he was going to say next was lost, he was clearly too angered to finish his sentence.

Vegeta returned his glare, his left eye swollen shut and unpleasantly discoloured, one arm still outstretched from his attack, the other holding his probably broken ribcage. Though he appeared barely able to stand at this point, he remained undeterred, taking a somewhat wobbly combat stance.

The saiyan wasted little time, and fewer words, before attacking. You had no idea what was thinking, in his state he'd surely be dead in a matter of seconds. Nonetheless he HAD probably just saved your life.

"Alright!" You say, to no one in particular, with one more deep breath before jumping from your vantage point and charging back into the fight. '... You had better hurry up Goku.'

You attempt to catch your opponent off-guard while he focuses on Vegeta. With a grin you raise a hand, gathering your ki into a golden disc, just as you had learnt from your mentor. "Distructo disc!" You shout, throwing the attack. Perhaps shouting out the name of your move and drawing attention to yourself wasn't the best idea, but it just wasn't the same without it!

Frieza turns to dodge - a moment too late and you wince as the attack slices through his tail, cutting off the tip. "Grr! How dare you!" He yells, his expression equal parts pained, angered and surprised.
Vegeta's ensuing attempts to attack from behind at the icejin's sudden change in focus are instantly thwarted, as Frieza simply smacks the saiyan in the face with his tail, making the briefest of glances over his shoulder before fixing his sights on you once more.
