impudence out of the bran who had screwed up the attack.
<br />
Rikoom seemed to feel the same way. He went at the boy, "Don't get involved! You are ours!" screaming, slapped him in the face.
<br />
Maiju intervened: "Don't you interfere!" and put a kiball in Rikoom's stomach. It was swept back, the energy tearing its armor apart. A tree stopped him; the crown broke off and pierced his battle suit.
<br />
And then it hung on the tree like on a clothes rack: with a very piqued expression on his face.
<br />
Barta howled with laughter; Jeice knelt on the floor and pounded him with his fist; Maiju grinned; the boy's expression fluctuated between fear, bewilderment and glee.<br />
"That's what happens when you stand between the cat and its prey!" Maiju called over to Rikoom.
<br />
He grumbled and freed himself from his coat hook, landed and spun around, marched over to his buddies and revealed the hole in the bottom of his pants to all the eyes of the world.
<br />
"It can be seen that you are an asshole!" Maiju felt compelled to comment.
<br />
Rikoom clasped his hands behind his back, insufficiently covering the hole. And then he made the mistake of standing with his back to Jeice and Barta. Jeice immediately snorted again.
<br />
"Well, that's enough again!" stated Maiju, but didn’t care, but tilted his head and looked challengingly at the boy.
<br />
"You screwed up my attack! I don't like that at all! That's why you're on the hit list first, then I'll come back to Vegeta!"
<br />
The little one bounced back, raised one hand with a crooked index and middle finger at eye level, the other at rib level, and tensed.<br />
"If you can still do that afterwards!"
<br />
"Don't worry about that!"
<br />
A wreath of light appeared around the child, it increased its fighting strength, but how much the scouter did not indicate; he had not liked the closer acquaintance with the rocks, he had quit the service.
<br />
Maiju took the device off and crushed it in her fist.
<br />
"When the scouter is gone, I have to go without a scouter! How's it going, kid? I'll let you go first!"
<br />
“Too good!” He tried Maiju's favorite trick: hit the right hand that caught her, jerked her legs up and tried a kick, which she also stopped.
<br />
“You can remember one thing right away: never try to hit the opponent with your own tricks!” She struck him in the face; then let go of her and waited. The boy glared at her; but the blow didn't seem to have hurt him particularly, because he attacked again immediately. Maiju didn't bother to fend off: she dodged, ducked, made him retreat with pseudo attacks, let him exhaust himself so that it would be easier for her afterwards.<br />
But her little opponent turned out to be surprisingly tough. Again and again, when Maiju thought he was finally done for, he mobilized new energy reserves and attacked her with fresh anger. It began to be a nuisance - especially since she had only really wanted to take care of Vegeta.
<br />
Without warning, Maiju struck back and hit the target, the little one fell just a few millimeters past Rikoom's tree and crashed into the ground.
<br />
“SonGohan!” With a plaintive cry, the bald man jumped out of his hiding place; he immediately took cover again, Maiju's energy beam just missed.
<br />
The boy was already standing again, albeit panting, when Maiju landed in front of him.
<br />
"You know what, boy: you'd do well with Freezer's troops. You've got what it takes to be a really good fighter!" she stated appreciatively.
<br />
"But I don't want to go to Freezer!" the answer was defiance.
<br />
"Ts, ts! I would personally take care of your training!You would definitely like it in my command! How's it going- SonGohan? "
<br />
She held out her hand to him.
<br />
He looked up. First on her hand, then on her face. She looked at him benevolently. Golden speckles in her turquoise eyes flashed teasingly. One could lose oneself in these eyes. It is hard to believe that they belonged to a cruel warrior, even more so than Ginyu, who played with her victims before killing them, nurturing the hope of winning and destroying them again at the last moment. She couldn't really be that cruel ... not really ...
<br />
"What's that supposed to mean? What do you want with the weakling?" a voice forced its way between SonGohan's confused thoughts. It was as if he had suddenly got a bucket of ice water on the back of his neck.
<br />
Maiju glared angrily at the speaker, her expression clearly saying: 'If you don't shut up for a moment, you'll never have another chance to shut it!'
<br />
She looked at SonGohan again, her head tilted slightly, curious invitation in her eyes.But the hypnotic charm of her beautiful eyes was broken; he shook his head vigorously, slapped her hand aside.
<br />
"Never! Never! Papa and Piccolo would never forgive me! Papa is coming here soon anyway, and then you can dress warmly!"
<br />
A mean grin appeared on her face. "Oh, I'm scared now! Just cling to this straw; but I'm afraid your papa won't be able to do much here! If I finish him off, you will come with me; if he finishes me - well, guess." , then for me there is no more if!
<br />
"You are totally crazy!" shouted SonGohan beside himself. "My papa is going to ram you into the ground unsharpened! And even if not, I'd rather die than follow you!"
<br />
"Your own fault! Because I will definitely not force you, and if you prefer death to life in Freezer's service .... You still have the opportunity to think about it - use it!"
<br />
"I already know the answer!Never ever! "His high-pitched child's voice almost cracked when he yelled at her, a hatred in her eyes that she would never have thought possible. She bounced back in astonishment, couldn't get hold of himself in time to fend off his crate beam and got the full force of his last energy In the stomach. Totally taken by surprise, she stumbled backwards, she managed not to fall.
<br />
Breathless, with a sting in the stomach, but more amused than angry, she straightened up, held out her hand, "One last rearing, how touching!" and shot.
<br />
SonGohan threw himself to the side, the ki-blast hissed by millimeters above his head, blasted a hole in the ground, Maiju kicked, he flew, sailed a nice distance before he lay on his stomach.
<br />
"So! So much for the little shit!" She clapped her hands together as if brushing dust off them and turned to Vegeta. "And now back to us!"
<br />
"I have to go back to that!" Vegeta muttered and stepped out of the shadow of the rock, barely hindered by Kuririn, who tried to pull him back with all his might.<br />
"Wait, Vegeta! You can't get out of there, she'll kill you!"
<br />
"Can you tell me what else to do?" the Saiyan snapped at him. And in a resigned tone he growled: "If only Kakarott would finally come!"
<br />
"He's coming soon!" said Kuririn. "Until then, hold out! Don't take any chances! Ah!" A shock like a red-hot iron ball hit him and knocked him over. As he fell, he knew his chest was shattered. Then came the impact that sent a hot pain through his body. He gasped, coughed, and tasted blood on his tongue.
<br />
"Shut up, bald!" shouted Maiju, who stood there with a raised hand.
<br />
"Hopefully we can finally fight in peace! Come on, Veggie! Dare! You can go again first - if you can still attack at all, that means!"
<br />
"Of course I can! That would suit you so!"
<br />
"Come on then!"
<br />
Vegeta immediately complied with the request by attempting a body check, which went wrong for miles: Maiju stepped aside and gave him a blow on the neck as he raced past.A few stumbling steps; Vegeta fell on her knees. The back of his neck felt broken, sending rays of pain into his head and shoulders. A hard kick in the bum caused him to do a somersault. He landed on his back and saw Maiju lean over him. He couldn't get up. The realization hurt more than any of his injuries. He had lost and now Maiju would kill him. Just because of a stupid mistake.
<br />
> Kakarott, damn it, where are you ?! <
<br />
"So Vegeta, that's it then!" hissed Maiju. She circled him, grinning mockingly. "How am I supposed to kill you: quickly and painlessly or slowly and painfully? Personally, I like the second alternative better!"
<br />
It was so nice to see Vegeta's pained, angry face as he lay there on the floor and to know that she held his fate in her hands. And she wasn't going to give him a quick end; he was to suffer as she had suffered for sixteen years.<br />
"You know why I hate you, don't you? I hate you for serving as a guinea pig for Freezer,
<br />
for every day that Jurke and Trail beat me half-conscious, for Waat's meanness and whipping, for Turnus' suppression and for Freezer's control collar. Because you were originally responsible for all of this by kidnapping me! Look forward to your death and hope that it won't be too long in coming! I will make sure, however, that you don't scratch off too quickly, you should know how I felt the whole time! "
<br />
As she spoke, her face took on an increasingly hateful expression that reflected exactly what was going on inside her.
<br />
Then she kicked Vegeta on the chest with one paw and put her weight on it. A painful groan was the answer. She stepped up one more time - then she noticed a growing hissing sound, the sound of a space capsule landing.<br />
She looked up, but the capsule was still too far away.
<br />
Tense and rather angry, she stared at the sky - was there never any rest here?
<br />
Slowly the capsule came into view, a real spaceship, big and round. It came down; now Maiju could see writing on it: Capsule Corp. was written there in big, bold letters.
<br />
> Who's coming? Probably the little one's dad - I'm curious about that. Especially on his reaction when he sees his son. And then he'll be dumped so that I can finally deal
