Battle of the Saiyan - Part 2
Written by TJI0007@aol.com

Ekmonard was now slipping in and out of conscience as Karah was treating him 
for his burn wounds. Whenever he was awake it wasn't for long due to his lack 
of blood. A week had now passed by and the Saiyan was still resting. It 
wasn't usual for a Saiyan to be out this long, but the stored electricity was 
more than enough to put him down for 2 more weeks. 

"W-w-where- what happened..." Ekmonard spoke to Karah for the first time 
after the escape attempt.

"What do you remember?" She spoke with a gentle child's voice.

"I remember, you, your name is Karah. I remember getting shocked, and that's 
it." He spoke with great confusion. His head now was throbbing with pain.

"You took quite a shock there. I am impressed that you speak, and that you 
are awake for that matter." She pushed him back down as he tried to stand and 
see where he was. "I wasn't expecting you to wake for another week or so."

"I am a Saiyan, I don't stay down that long." He looked at his bruised and 
burned body with bandages over most of it. "How or why did I get shocked?" He 
asked with extreme authority.

"You were shocked by the force fields because you tried to escape, now hold 
still, you aren't back to normal yet." She chuckled under her breath about 
the fact that he was trying to act tough after he was beaten up and then was 
asleep for a week after his elegit 'escape' attempt. "I don't think that you 
should be up yet. You should sleep." She spoke with a persuading voice.

"NO!! I was beaten by this FREAK, AND NOW YOU PITY ME BY NURSING ME?? I take 
it you are a servant of some sort, so be a good one and leave me ALONE!" The 
man fell back onto his bed passing out.

"Poor man. It's sad actually" The woman spoke to herself with pity for the 
man.

Ekmonard woke up again with the same headache, but this time Karah wasn't 
there, in fact.. It was dark out. He stood up once he had woken fully and 
walked out the door. The halls in this place were huge, there was plenty of 
room to fly... if he could. He walked for about 10 minutes when he reached 
another door. It was... THE KITCHEN!!! He immediately dove in to the 
cupboards of food, gorging for about 5 minutes, when he realized that someone 
else was in the room. He dropped the food and swung around with fists flying! 
It was only until after the attack that he noticed that he had just sent 
Karah flying into a near by wall.

"HOLY CRAP!!" Ekmonard screamed as he warped to the girl to help her up. "I 
guess it's my turn to take care of you now."

"Sorry, but you can't do that." She took a small bean out of her pocket and 
ate it. She then popped up and slapped him. "That was going to be for you but 
now you'll have to suffer." She turned around and jumped on her hover bike 
and drove out of sight.
 
That last blow Ed had received REALLY hurt! (She was unusually strong for a 
human, and for a woman! She couldn't be human..) Ed thought as he made his 
long trip back to his room (I seem to be getting better. I was able to warp 
back there, so I should be able to fly.) He hopped into the air and started 
to float. (YES!! I can get outta here soon. Now lets see if I can move.) He 
slowly started moving forward as he used most of his Ki just to stay aloft. 
He started slow and picked up to a steady pace and from there into the top 
speed the halls could handle. At this pace he'd be there in about a minute.

He took notice to things that he ignored on the way there. Pictures on the 
walls resembled a face he saw somewhere?! It was from a book, it was a 
picture of... THE LEGENDARY SUPER SAIYAN!!!?? Confusion now hit him like a 
trillion bricks. (How could this be? He disappeared over a hundred years 
ago!?) He paused in mid air in shock. His mind was a complete blank. (How or 
WHY would this place have a picture of the legendary Goku?) He couldn't 
handle this mentally or physically right now. He tried to pry his mind off of 
the subject but he was in utter shock.

Ed sat there in the air for another few minutes before he came out his 
trance. He started back to his room. He would think of many questions to ask 
Karah in the morning, but for now he just wanted sleep. He picked up speed as 
he recovered from the sight, and he finally reached his room. He flew over to 
his enormous bed and collapsed about 3 feet over the bed. In just about the 
time it took him to eat a hamburger he had fallen asleep.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Morning had come, and the sun shown brightly through the skylight and reached 
his bandaged body. It eventually reached his eyes, and it quickly woke him. 
He got out of bed to go get some of the delicious food he had grazed 
yesterday evening. Hopefully he would see Karah in the kitchen so some very 
important questions be answered. His body allowed him let him fly once again 
with ease. He tore down the halls and fought the urge to stop to see Goku's 
picture. He increased speed as he neared the portrait.

The picture seemed to drive him to go faster. So many questions were in his 
head. In about 30 seconds he had reached the kitchen. Ed peered inside just 
to find an empty room. Once again he heard the footsteps coming towards him. 
This time he turned around with ease to see Karah crouching low to avoid any 
further attacks.

"Are you gonna kill me this time Ekmonard?" She spoke sarcastically.

"Call me Ed, and you shouldn't sneak up on people, especially me!" He spoke 
with a grin across his face. "What was that thing you ate after I sent you 
flying?"

"It's a magical bean that cures you after you eat it." She spoke as she 
laughed under her breath. "If you weren't so pumped up on testosterone, you 
could be healed now, Ed." She couldn't help it, she was overcome with 
laughter.

"What's so funny? Oh I am healed enough to fly now." She ceased laughing 
after he was done with his sentence. "So, I guess that I should be laughing 
now." He let a fake laugh roll of his tongue that sounded more like a hack.

Once again she started laughing. "Then I guess you won't need this?" She 
pulled out another bean from her pocket. "So l guess that I'll throw it 
away." she motioned her hand towards a garbage can, but before she could take 
a step Ed appeared in front of her grabbing her hand.

"You shouldn't waste that." He attempted to take the bean from her hand, but 
now it was her that pulled a trick. With a quick flick of power she 
disappeared, and was about 5 feet in front of him.

"No cure for you." She flickered her hand with power, disintegrating the 
bean. "Also, I am no slave."

"Are you leaving again?" He tried to hide his amazement of human.

"Yes. I have more important things to do then look at you." She was annoyed 
by him and answered with a harsh voice.

"I have a few questions for you." He spoke as if he knew she would stay.

"Then I will answer some of them." Karah had calmed down quite a bit now and 
was suppressing her urges to slap him once again.

"Why is there a picture of Son Goku hanging near my room?" A long silence 
fell between the two. Ed was glad that she couldn't answer the question 
immediately, the pause meant she had to think of an answer first.

"Are you referring to the Legendary Super Saiyan?" She spoke with an 
unmistakable look on her face. She was trying to pretend she hadn't an idea 
of what he was talking about.

"Yes, why does this place have a picture of him?"

"This is a temple of the Saiyan, this is somewhat of a refuge for the Saiyan 
and other fighters against the Thundering forces.... And I am a Saiyan." She 
spoke quietly, and even Ed's' Saiyan ears could barely hear her words. After 
she was done he was in total shock.

(I thought that the thundering had ended?! Her being a Saiyan explains allot 
though.)

"H-h-ho-how....wwhy? I thought that the Thundering had ended?"

"Come with me, and I will tell you the story of the Thundering." He was 
relieved to hear this, just because nothing was known of the Thundering 
except that it was over.
