Mistakes - Chapter 4

A fireball falls across the pale green atmosphere of Namek too far to be seen by any settlements the planet holds. Strobing flashes dazzle any attentive fauna scattered across the sky blue flora adorning the planes and bluffs. Sonic booms bombard the ground once this missile nears its destination, to be suddenly silenced as simultaneously the ground receives a shock overwhelmed by a kinetic explosion, throwing a cloud of dirt that blankets the immediate area sending any surviving fauna into hysteric flight.

As the dust settles, a white metal ball with a circular ruby window emerges from the lowest point of the newly formed crater. Viewed from outside, a 1 galactic year old saiyan girl is curled up and strapped in the seat, illuminated in predictable intervals by a blinking yellow light.

――――

"nnnnghaaaa~"

...eh?

An annoying green light is blinking through my eyelids. Just a bit more. Opening my eyes to find the source it appears to be coming from the front console interface. Guess I'll have to move there to turn it off. I lean forward to crawl, yet find myself unable. There appears to be a harness keeping me in place. Searching for some sort of latch, buckle, leaver or really anything at this point! This tan harness has no visible signs of being attached to anything but the seat through crevices and they won't budge! Di. Did that red fishman really hate a cute baby enough to sabotage my harness leaving me to die!? Assistant Director, what a joke, it probably killed the last thing to hold the position! Trying to harness qi from how it felt in the dream, I feel for the sensations flowing through my bloodstream and nerves. Palms forward, aiming at the offending belt strap between my legs. A trickle of red qi comes through my palm, pooling into a radiant orb the diameter of 1 Gcm. I'lL maKe iT iNto rEd fiSh anD chiPS wheN I reTurN! The pool of qi expands to 8 Gcm, red luminescent tendrils of swirling sparks break off, superficially scorching the padding lining the walls. ThiS wHolE bAll! JuST ExPloDE!

*”Failure. Means. Death.”*

"Da-wam idt!"

Sparks multiply, scattering strikes against the interior cause black scores, tarnishing its once pristine condition. A haze of smoke easily fills the cabin. In an attempt to salvage this situation I try to reclaim the qi out of the rapidly deconstructing orb. Pain lances across the entirety of my arms, then spreads. Tears flow as if to escape the backlash unmolested. Qi fizzles out leaving a haunting echo throughout my memory.

"Hii... HiWaAAa. hIWAAAAwa,Hii. awaawAAAaw,hIi. ahWaaaAWAWa,hii. AwAWaaAWAaaaWAaawaa,Hii!"

Stupid! Blow up the Attack Ballᴳᵀᴹ while in it, why not just commit suicide it would hurt less?! Anger till this point, where my mind simply goes retarded. I'll need to temper myself if I survive this. I-i jusstt can't stop crying, it huurrts so much! It's hard see and difficult to breathe.

"kofu, kofuu kofukofu"

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

I need to think! How can I open this damned Attack Ballᴳᵀᴹ and out of this harness? I've never questioned it before but why can I even understand what others said? I didn't know Japanese? That dream, everything changed since then. Experimenter Frogman P, this is your doing again! Am I going to turn out to be an android too, haa?! Information must have been uploaded into my memory how much, I can't tell. There must be a way to operate the Attack Ballᴳᵀᴹ or else every infant saiyan sent out would die before opening the door.

Lets look around carefully to see if anything stands out. At the front panel on the left side are an array of buttons controlling the mode of programming and calculations, The middle is for a touch screen display and the right is for quick manual controls and overrides. I'm an idiot. Truly an idiot! This memory upload is too smooth, I can hardly tell anything weird is going on. Only by having such a disappointing life before could I ever compare the differences.

"kofu kofu"

The front panel is too far for my arms. And I can't see the hand rest controls to recall what they do! I'm going to try stretching my tail to the right release button on the front panel. Pivoting my hips to the left, slouching and propping my left up underneath while crossing my right leg over my left as a counter weight and putting my whole body into it to adjust as needed. Stretch! Stretch! These straps, digging into my already wounded body. Too merciless! Just a few more Gcm. Tail fight!

*klitch tsrururu tik*

*thunk*

I'm free!

"haha kofo hiiwAwaa kofaha"

*kit. ssshuuhaa*

After crawling and stumbling towards the controls I take my first steps onto the freshly exhumed dirt and my exposed wounds with the intense rays of the suns. I collapse to cry again, I hurt all over. My hands and arms are red with charcoal black lines running the length of my arm and to my shoulders turning down to my sternum and branching into tiny lines that fissure and run around the rest of my body. I'm bleeding from my pores, I i-i really might lose my chance to be a saiyan. It's not like I would end arriveing at King Yemma's mahogany desk for a favor and ask him to contact Kami to wish me back. I'm from outside this universe, would that even work? If I live I must not die, for the longest time possible! Just a little. sleep. and I'll be. fine.
