Chapter Four - A battle won, a war lost�

Captain Ginyu blinked in astonishment at the fallen form of his colleague then looked back at Chielle who just stood there, staring at Purtan�s corpse, admiring her handiwork. Well he�d teach the little brat a thing or two. She would regret ever thinking that she was a match for the Ginyu Force � the most powerful and feared fighting force in the entire universe! "Why you�you�ll pay for that! Recoome�Burta get her!" The two rushed forward in an effort to double team the young warrior but she easily dodged their many attacks and instead of hitting her, the two wound up hitting each other!
As they pummelled away at one another, Chi watched them for a moment, a stunned expression on her face at their idiocy. Shaking her head, Chielle whistled to get their attention an idea to deal with them quickly and easily forming from the instinctual battle knowledge that had filled her mind. She was so totally caught in the heat of battle, and the knowledge that had been dredged up from the back of her mind felt so right that Chi was almost scared of it, scared of what it may make her become. Shaking her head sharply to clear her mind of that irrelevant thought, Chi noticed that she now had Recoome and Burta�s undivided attention and gathered in energy as she prepared her next move, the ki beginning to flicker ominously around her hands.
"Hey morons! Watch this! STUN FLASH!" A bright blaze of multicoloured light that she launched from her outspread fingers surrounded the pair and they fell to the ground in quivering, paralysed heaps, thoroughly dazed by the intensely coloured ki. Chielle landed beside them and kicked them both solidly in the head, just behind their ears, knocking them unconscious so that there was no chance of them getting up anytime soon for a rematch.
She turned and half-bowed to Captain Ginyu. "I certainly hope you can put up a better fight than those three. I�d hate to find out that they were the cream of the Ginyu Force." Ginyu scowled at her then answered,

"They�re just rookies, I�m the leader because of my superior fighting skills, grace and leadership qualities."

"And also because you have the biggest ego" Chielle said insultingly.

"Why you�you�ll pay for that remark!"

"So you said when you set those two on me," Chielle said pointing at the unconscious Recoome and Burta. "And so far I have yet to pay for what I�ve said and done and I�ve barely broken a sweat. Perhaps you should give up now and spare yourself the humiliation of being beaten by a six-year-old child." She was bluffing. Her chest ached and her cheek felt as though the skin was tearing away from her face�but then, how was that tall, egotistical psychopath to know that? Her words hit home as Ginyu snarled at her, his frown deepening even more.

Good get angry with me Chielle thought. She knew that Ginyu was far superior to those she had fought before and she knew that her only chance of victory was hinging on her being able to make him angry enough to make big mistakes. "I mean I�m only a child" Chielle went on. "Barely half your height and I�ve already defeated three of your men. How�s that going to look in the great Ginyu Force history books?"
That did it. With a roar Ginyu let his anger consume him and he leapt to attack Chi, two blazing balls of ki narrowly missing her head. As she dodged the blasts, Ginyu ducked around behind her, bringing his knee up and hitting her in the middle of the back, throwing her forward a few paces. She caught herself mid-air and turned sharply aiming a punch at Ginyu�s face but she mistimed it and it bounced off the heavy armour protecting his shoulder. This didn�t faze her for a moment, her heart was beating too fiercely and her blood was too much afire with battle lust for her to even consider backing down. As Ginyu punched downwards trying to hit her toward the ground, she ducked his fist and drove her knee into his groin, causing him to groan and double over. She dashed around behind him, kicking him savagely in the back and Ginyu went sprawling face-first into the ground, ploughing a fairly deep trench while he was at it.
Quickly, before he could recover, Chi was upon him, planting one foot solidly in the middle of his back and wrenching his arms back behind him, pulling them painfully in their sockets. The other foot she placed firmly on the back of his head and applied pressure so that his face remained half-buried in the dirt. Of what to do next Chi was uncertain. Ginyu shook with rage beneath her and Chi knew that it was only a matter of time before his anger gave him the strength or intelligence to dislodge her - and then she was done for.
Someone chuckled nearby and Chi�s head snapped around in all directions trying to identify where the noise had come from, her grip on Ginyu in no way lessening.

"As amusing as this scene is I�m afraid I�m going to have to intervene. Now, now Ginyu you were supposed to kill the little monster not play games with her."

Ginyu said something that was made incomprehensible by the dirt his face was held in, but his tone made it blatantly obvious that he was cursing. "What language to use Ginyu," the strange man said from where he was hidden, amusement still colouring his tone. "I�m here to help you�but if you want to try to get out of this predicament you�ve landed yourself in, by all means don�t let me stop you." Ginyu howled with rage and managed to lift his face out of the dirt enough to make his words understandable. "It�s not funny Zarbon! Now if you�re going to help me you self-absorbed pretty-boy then help me or else get lost and let me deal with this! And where the hell is Guldo?!"
"You really must excuse Ginyu my dear," Zarbon said jovially as he started forward out of where he�d previously been concealed, dragging something behind him�though Chi couldn�t quite make out what it was. "His pride won�t allow him to admit that he needs help to get out of this situation and it certainly won�t let him admit that he was beaten by a child - a girl no less. And Guldo�s currently off freezing the population and spearing them with pieces of the landscape," he answered belatedly as if only just realising that Ginyu had asked him a question. Chielle�s eyes narrowed suspiciously at Zarbon and her grip on Ginyu�s arms tightened fractionally.
"So why help him? If he�s as pathetic as you say then why save his sorry hide?"

"Unfortunately my dear we serve a higher power and that master has commanded me to save him because for the time being he is useful to that master and so I have been ordered, so I must obey. Now I�m going to make this simple, release Ginyu or else�" and Zarbon held Daemon up for Chielle to see. "�He dies." Chielle growled low in her throat, her grip on Ginyu�s arms shifting slightly as she flexed her fingers, "That�s blackmail!"

"Of course it is�now are you going to release Ginyu or not?"
Reluctantly Chielle relinquished her hold on Ginyu and stepped back, keeping her eyes locked on the green-haired man as the leader of the Ginyus clambered back to his feet and rubbed his sore arms, glaring at Chi. Zarbon smirked at her, a superior sort of gesture that made Chi�s blood begin to boil, it was just so, so patronising!
"That�s a good girl�now as for him�" Zarbon raised a glowing hand to Daemon�s throat and with a flash of ki severed his head cleanly from his neck. Chielle retched and turned away, utterly sickened by the sight of the blood dripping from her father�s severed neck, though even that didn�t help, the image seemed to be branded into the insides of her eyelids. Fast as lightning, Chi composed herself, turning back and charging at Zarbon with all her speed, her hands outstretched like talons, aiming for his throat, oh how she longed to wrap her hands around his throat and strangle the life out of him. "YOU MONSTER! YOU KILLED MY OTOUSAN!" She screamed at him as she neared her goal, her fingers twitching in anticipation. Part of her wondered absently why he was just standing his ground and advised caution, but it was drowned out by the animalistic rage that had seized hold of her mind.
Zarbon coolly watched her approach then, grabbing her by the front of her shirt, delivered a swift uppercut to her jaw, the strength of it enough to rattle her brains and knock Chi unconscious. As her mind descended into blackness, Chi went as limp as a rag-doll and collapsed the ground in an unceremonious heap as Zarbon casually let go of her shirt.

"Excellent work Zarbon, looks like you got the little gaki." Zarbon smiled.

"Thank you mighty Frieza. Should I kill her now? Or perhaps you would like the honour? She did attack you after all."

"No�neither. I want to keep her alive. I can see that she has a lot of untamed power inside her, an extraordinary phenomenon in one so young. With the right training and guidance who knows what she�ll become. Yes she has a lot of potential that can be put to good use."

"You want to turn her into another Vegeta!" Zarbon�s expression was both shocked and disdainful.

"Exactly�but unlike Vegeta she�ll be completely obedient and loyal. She�ll be the perfect minion."

"Because you know what mistakes you made with Vegeta and know what to do to avoid making the same mistakes with her?" Zarbon said aloud as he realised what Frieza was talking about and saw the big picture that Frieza had in mind.

"Yes, Vegeta was only the experimental stage. This girl shall be the final�masterpiece if you will." Frieza looked down at Chielle�s unconscious form, a possessive smile spreading across his face. "The final masterpiece" he whispered smugly. "The perfect minion!"
"Um excuse me?" Ginyu interrupted, his expression disgusted. "You want to keep the little monster? Have you forgotten that that creature killed one of my men, in fact one of the best men on my squad!"

"Exactly." Frieza nearly purred. "If she can kill one of your men and defeat another two�and you with very little effort, then her strength must be phenomenal!" He reached out and lightly stroked her face, staining his fingers with the blood that was still seeping slowly out of the wound that Purtan had given her, that smug smile still plastered on his face. "Yes, she will be everything the perfect slave is supposed to be, strong and obedient�and completely and utterly loyal."
Ginyu opened and closed his mouth, shaking with a near apoplectic rage.

"You can�t be serious Frieza!" He choked. "Surely you don�t believe you can actually tame the little beast?! All she deserves is death!"

"You forget your place Ginyu." Frieza snarled dangerously. "It�s my choice as to whether or not she lives or dies and right now, I choose to keep her. Besides, if Purtan was stupid enough to get himself killed by a mere child, then he obviously was in need of replacing anyway. So why don�t you stop sulking and pick a new Ginyu Force member from that large group of candidates that you insist on keeping around."

"But you wouldn�t believe how long the auditions take. Picking a replacement Ginyu is no easy task Frieza, you should know that by now." He folded his arms stubbornly and glared at Chi. "I�d much rather you just kill her."

"Well I�m not going to, so stop whining, it�s beginning to grate. You know Ginyu, I could spare you the trouble of picking a new team-member."

"You could?" Ginyu�s expression was wary. "How?"

"By assigning the girl to your squad." Frieza answered with an infuriating smirk.

"NANI?! No way! I refuse to work with the little monstrosity!"

"Fine, then leave her be and stop moaning. I�m sure if you leave her alone Ginyu, then I�m sure she�ll be quite content to stay out of your way."
Scowling, Ginyu whirled around briskly and aimed a brutal kick at the unconscious Chi�s side�only to have it blocked by Zarbon�s arm.

"You heard what Frieza said Ginyu." Zarbon told him, his eyes glittering with malice. "Leave the girl alone."
Glaring at his most hated rival, Ginyu turned on his heel and stormed off in search of Guldo, muttering something about, "Folly, a waste of time and madness" under his breath."
Frieza watched him go calmly, his eyes eventually travelling back to Chi�s peaceful face. Madness? A folly to train her? Perhaps it was, but Frieza had a fairly good idea that the girl would aspire to prove Ginyu wrong.
