Chapter Eight � Mission

(A month or two later)
Frieza charged again and again, his savage kicks, blasts and punches coming like lighting, so fast Chi hadn�t the time to block and the blows struck repeatedly. She keeled forward only to be met by Frieza�s knee in her face and blood came spurting out her broken nose. Frieza gripped her hair firmly and wrenched her head back so fast her neck nearly snapped to meet his furious gaze. "You worthless, pathetic, snivelling little coward." He hissed menacingly. "Can�t you put up a better fight than that?"

"I'm sorry master," Chi whispered, squirming slightly to try and ease the pain on her scalp. "I�m trying really hard, honest!" Frieza picked her up off the ground (still by her hair) and slapped her viciously around the face. "You�re trying? Your mother died trying to protect you. Your father died trying to save the planet." Chi�s struggling became more desperate at the mention of her parents.

"Stop" she pleaded softly, clapping her hands over her ears. "Don�t say that!"
Frieza scowled at her. "It is not enough just to try. You have to will yourself to succeed and I swear that even if it takes me years to beat that into you I will. Your parents were pathetic excuses for warriors, but there is hope for you once you learn to suppress those useless emotions that hold you back from your true potential." Frieza let go of Chi�s hair suddenly, dumping her roughly on the floor. "Now get out of my sight! Right now the very thought of you sickens me."
Chi rose slowly to her feet, dabbing at a bloody wound on her head with a corner of her sleeve. She turned to leave but then turned back, her eyes glowing with a strange determination. "No, I won�t leave, I want to reach my full potential. Show me how to attain it master, only you can put it fully in my grasp." Chi knelt respectfully before Frieza, awaiting his answer, barely daring to breathe. He looked down at her his scowl switching to a smile faster than one could blink. "Very well I shall show you. Now on your guard, let�s begin."

Vegeta stood silently, peering intently through the tiny window of the regen tank at the girl who floated in the regeneration fluid, the look on her face almost peaceful. It�s amazing, how could she have stood up against Frieza for as long as she did? She�s only a human child.
"Visiting again Vegeta? I sincerely hope that you�re not injured, though you seem to be in perfect health." The head doctor commented, glancing up from where he was organising a stack of medicines on a trolley.

"No, I�m perfectly fine, I came to se if the rumours about this child were true. Are they?" The doctor nodded.

"Oh yes Vegeta, quite true. The girl stood up against Frieza for a good half an hour or more after that first brutal beating he gave her. I know because I was the one who Frieza personally called upon to put her back together again." He smiled tolerantly. "And even in unconsciousness she was still fighting. We had to sedate her in order for my technicians and I to even get close enough to work on her injuries. A real wildcat that one."
"It�s unbelievable to think that such a small child could have such extraordinary power." The doctor made a small noise of agreement.

"Yes but remember there are many kinds of power, hers is the power of the mind. Her strength comes from her determination and she will fight for as long as she believes she can win even if to others it seems to be a losing battle. This willpower, this�determination to succeed makes her a force to be reckoned with. I cannot begin to imagine the levels she will reach with the right tutelage." Vegeta nodded thoughtfully, his eyes riveted on her innocent-looking face. "Will she ever be on a par with me?"

"She is elite class material, no doubt about it, but that only puts her on a par with you Vegeta, it is highly unlikely that she will ever exceed your level." The head doctor answered, reading her power-level and vital statistics off a nearby monitor. Vegeta gave a satisfied grunt. "Then maybe I could teach her a thing or two."
"What a simply splendid idea Vegeta!" Frieza exclaimed moving into the pair�s line of sight. Vegeta hastily bowed and murmured a respectful "my Lord" as Frieza approached. "Here�s an idea Vegeta. How about the gaki goes along with you on your next planet purge? Give her some practical experience in the field."

"Are you sure that�s wise sire? She is after all very young."

"Absolutely, don�t be taken back by her age, after all, you were demanding challenging missions of your very own when you were her age if you remember, and I�m sure she can learn a lot from you, children are very fast learners after all." Vegeta saluted smartly.

"As you command, our pods leave this evening, make sure she�s in the launch bay ready to go at 2100 for a 2110 launch." Frieza waved a dismissal and Vegeta scurried out, thinking to himself. Yes I did demand the most challenging missions didn�t I Frieza? But this girl is just a human, she�s nowhere near my level and yet you expect her to live up to my high standards? It�s madness Frieza, she�ll never be able to keep up with us saiyajins. But I guess you won�t see that until we prove it to you. So we shall prove it, tonight!

At 2100 sharp Chi stepped through the launch bay doors outfitted in a brand new suit of armour and a long flowing red cape. Vegeta stood beside the four pods that awaited their pilots talking to Radditz and another Saiyajin whom Chi had never seen before. Vegeta spied Chi out of the corner of his eye and a broad smirk lit up his face. "Ah here�s the gaki now! Frieza insists we show her the ropes of planet purging Nappa so now we�re stuck with her." Chi winced slightly then quickly hid it, striding forward more confidently than she felt to join with the awaiting saiyajins. "And a good evening to you Vegeta. Which pod has been assigned to me?" Vegeta waved vaguely at a pod to his left and Chi walked towards it without even a word of thanks.
"We had better get going then if we�re going to make a 2110 launch" Chi reminded them as she clambered inside the small spacecraft and closed the door. If those who had assigned her to this mission and pod thought that she was going to have difficulty piloting the craft without having the controls explained to her, they were in for a shock. Chi had the controls all figured out within a matter of minutes and was the first from the mission to radio in to the control centre to request clearance for launch.
Chi was so focused on her mission that she hadn�t noticed the crowd that had gathered to see the �team� off. Nor did she notice Captain Ginyu tap a mercenary by the name of Dodoria on the shoulder and lean close to him for a whispered conversation involving a lot of speculative glances in her direction. By the time Chi thought to take in her surroundings it was too late and she was shooting out into the stars on her first mission for Frieza.
