A Sayians Bond

She walked out of the building and into the courtyard where she'd killed the guard with Aloysius close behind. As she walked past, two men had begun to drag the body away. Aloysius looked over at the body with a smirk of amazement on his lips.

"Very nice," he noted as he joined her by her side. "Tell me something. We came here 6 years ago, what's taken you so long? Preparing yourself?"

"Exactly," she told him as she continued on.

"I strongly advise you to change your mind. I don't want to have to kill you."

"And why is that?" She asked.

"I find you to be a fascinating creature. I'd love to find out more about you."

She stopped walking a turn to face him, looking straight up into his eyes. "I'm going to kill you. That's all you need to know about me."

"I can see that the pursuance of you will be fun." He lifted his hand and brushed down her cheek with the side of his hand.

She pressed his hand away and glared up at him. "The pursuance of me will be impossible, General." She turned and began walking once again. "Now leave me alone."

"Very fun, indeed."

Having heard enough, Zephyra took off into the air, leaving him behind. As she headed towards her ship, she continued to check to see if he was behind her. Fortunately, he never appeared behind her.

She was confident she'd evaded him until she reached her ship. She was positively startled when her feet touched the ground and she saw him leaning against the opening of her ship, at the top of the ramp, waiting patiently.

"How did you..." She looked up at him puzzled as she stood at the bottom of the ramp. Not so much that he'd beaten her there, but that he knew where her ship landed.

"I strongly caution you not to underestimate me."

"I'll be sure to take a note on it." She walked up the ramp and rotated herself sideways to get between him and the door frame, entering her ship. She walked up to the controls and pressed a few buttons. A moment later, a screen dropped down with Trunks on video.

"Hey, Zephyra, how are things going out there?" he asked, happy to see she was alright.

"I've just arrived. Is Vegeta around?" She glared over her shoulder to Aloysius, still standing in the door way, facing the inside now.

"I haven't seen him."

"Shit."

"Is everything ok?"

"Yeah, everything's fine. But I've found out that the people who invaded the planet used to employ the Sayians to wipe out planets. I was hoping Vegeta could tell me about them."

"What the name of their race?" Bulmas face appeared on the screen.

"I'm not sure." She turned again and looked to Aloysius.

"Laxvanders," he told her.

"Who is that?" Trunks asked.

"A general ordered to follow me."

"Hang on." Zephyra turned her eyes back to the screen as she waited. It didn't take Bulma long to return. "Zephyra, you be careful. Apparently they seem very calm and collected on the outside but their warriors are some of the greatest the galaxy has known. It says here they have very acute senses. Sight, smell, touch, hearing. All far superior to most races."

"I'm not concerned."

"Just be careful. If I see Vegeta, I'll let him know you made it safe."

"Thanks, Bulma. Later Trunks." She turned away as the screen went blank and headed for the bathroom sink.

"King Vegeta lives amongst humans?"

"No." She turned on the water and waited for the water to heat up. "King Vegeta is dead. Now please leave."

"Ah, I see. The prince lives. Your trainer, no doubt?"

"Yes." She looked over at him impatiently.

He looked at her for a moment, examining her expressions. "But not only that. Your friend Bulma is his wife." He continued his silent interrogation of her emotions. "And the prince is your lover." He smirked as she grew even more impatient. "Of course. He might as well have marked you daily." He took a few steps and stood directly behind her. "I had wondered what that second scent was coming off you." He leaned slightly towards her and closed her eyes, focusing closely on the smells. "Nearly three months and he's still all over you." He opened his eyes and looked at her reflection in the mirror, staring back. "How devious of you."

"Are you finished?" She asked dipping her bloodied hands in the water.

"Not even close."

"Well that's too bad." She finished cleaning the blood off her hands and brought them up to look at the damage she'd done to herself. It seemed in her anger, she'd caused herself some pretty severe damage. Since the bleeding had stopped, she wasn't worried about it.

She turned and faced him, looking up at him. She suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if his eyes were looking inside her very soul. After a moment, she turned away, leaving the room and heading for the exit.

"Zephyra," he called for her as she reached the bottom of the ramp.

"What?" She rolled her eyes and turned, watching as he walked down the ramp towards her.

"I'll ask you again to change your mind." He reached the bottom of the ramp and stood in front of her. "You don't know what you're getting yourself into."

"You're not trying to stop me to save your people's lives. What do you want?"

"I've told you, I'm captivated by you. To rid the universe of such a beautiful creature would be sinful. If I am ordered to to kill you, I will without mercy. Though I must admit, I would very much enjoy seeing what you are capable of. The choice is yours. You can let them live, sparing your own life. Or, you can destroy the planet, forcing me to kill you."

"You're last," was all she said before turning away from him and taking off into the air.

She flew until she reached the closest town. She hovered several hundred feet above it. No one noticed her as they went about their lives.

The anger inside Zephyra grew as she remembered the town that once stood in that spot. She hated these people for what they'd done; Murdering innocent people for their own benefit. They all deserved to die.

She raised her right hand above her head, gathering energy, compressing it into a small ball of green light, preparing to destroy the town. As she gathered the energy, her left hand balled into a fist at her side. It'd be over before they even knew anything was happening.

After gathering enough energy, she pulled her hand back, ready to throw the energy at the town. She began to thrust her arm forward but was stopped in the blink of an eye. A large hand grabbed her wrist tightly and held it back.

"Stop," Aloysius told her as he kept his strong grip on her wrist. He pulled back on her wrist, forcing her to turn and face him. He held her right wrist with his right hand, so pulling her hand back crossed his arm over his chest, forcing her to get close to him. "Don't do it." He continued with the soft tone he'd used since meeting her.

She lifted her left hand and placed it flat on his stomach. "Aloysius..." She lowered her head mournfully onto his shoulder and closed her eyes. "You don't know what I went through, what I saw. I had to watch while your pets killed everyone I ever knew. The death your people caused for mine must be returned." She rose her head and looked into his eyes. "Now leave me alone!"

In a flash she transferred some of the energy in her right hand to her left sending him back. She did little more than ruin his shirt. However, it bought her the time she needed to unleash her attack on the city.

She threw her right hand forward, sending the blast directly to the center of the city. As it hit the ground, the energy expanded in an instant, killing every living thing it touched. The buildings were reduced to burning rubble as the shock wave rocked the surrounding area.

I was quick. They felt no pain. At least they had that privilege.

She turned away from the ruins and flew off to repeat the exact process many times over the next few days with no rest or food. Her anger kept her going. It fueled the fire inside of her as she destroyed every single person she came across.

Of course once word spread about what she was doing, she had to search a little harder to find the people who'd chosen to hide. There was no hope for any of them. She showed no mercy just as they'd done.
