Chapter One
" Honor is simply the morality of superior men."
H.L Mencken

She had heard of the tyrant's latest victim, planet Vegeta, which he had destroyed nearly a year ago. Lord Frieza wasn't one for obliterating planets, to her knowledge, so it had seemed odd, and quite notable at the time.

She had never expected the PTO to come knocking at her own planet's door, though.

She had noticed the warning signs in the discreet fly-bys and nosey 'real estate' agents, asking questions that ranged from military tactics to how her neighbors grew their gardens. It had been alarming at the time, but she had ignored it in some selfish hope that maybe they were unnoticed, and could fade back into the obscurity in which they resided.

Adalina had managed to evacuate quite a number of people to a near-by planet, but for those that had chosen to stay, their life was miserable. They were being systematically culled, one by one, and since very few on her planet were warriors, they were nearly defenseless.

"You bastards just keep coming don't you?" she mumbled under her breath as she launched a teal colored ki blast towards another of Frieza's foot-soldiers. It disentegrated the low-level warrior and exploded against a crumbling building, scorching the surrounding golden grass.

She was beginning to grow weary, her lilac skin covered in deep magenta blood and scratches. Her electric-blue hair was tangled and sweaty, the humidity causing her natural waves to become unmanagable. She was beginning to think that tying her hair up would have been a good idea. Too late now.

One of the soldiers managed to get in close and land a punch on her face, causing her to stagger. She growled and whipped her leg out, sending him soaring through the powder-pink sky and into the mountains.

"My my, is this the little girl that's been causing the foot-soldiers so much trouble?" Adalina whipped her head towards the source of the voice, shocked by what she saw and felt.

He was handsome, even if a little feminine. His pastel green skin had nary a scratch on it, and his long, dark hair was tied neatly in a braid, capped by a jeweled diadem.

"Who are you?" she demanded sternly, not one to be taken lightly.

He smirked and flipped his head to re-adjust his hair,

"My name is Zarbon, I was sent to retrieve you. Such a nimble fighter doesn't deserve to be culled like live-stock. You're humbly invited to join Frieza's army." his tone left no room for debate, it was not inviting at all, more sinister if anything.

"Never." Adalina took a fighting stance, preparing for battle. If she had to guess, the man standing before her was on her level, and se hadn't even breached the extent of her power! Though, she hoped it didn't come to that, as the expense of chaotic energy could very well cost her her life.

"Oh? We'll do this your way then, though, from what my scouter tells me, it won't make much of a difference in the end any way."

She said nothing, a hard look of determination sliding over her features.

Zarbon wasted no time in flying towards her at blinding speeds, delivering a swift knee to her chest. Her sturdy armor held up as expected, but the blow cause her to cough violently as the momentum threw her into a crumbling wall.

Adalina stood on shaky feet and dusted off her white armor before taking to the air where she began firing off rapid ki blasts. Zarbon found dodging them to be irritating, as every time he avoided on, another would hit him head on, and they weren't weak either.

The alien angrily fired a large ki blast in her direction causing her to cry out in pain as the sudden explosion engulfed her. She caught herself before she fell but had no time to counter as Zarbon punched her in the jaw. Her head whipped back painfully, but she stood her ground, she would not be pushed around like some complacent prisoner.

Adalina threw a punch of her own, multiple actually. Her fists moved rapidly, but so did Zarbon as he blocked a majority of them. Unluckily for him, however, Adalina was a master at finding weaknesses in one's defense.

He slipped up once, and she managed to drive her heel into his gut, sending him flying. She flew and intercepted his ascent, kicking him again. She caught him once more, lacing her fingers together above her head and bringing both her fists down on his back.

Zarbon hit the ground hard, his body carving a trench into the golden grass, exposing the rich brown soil. He pushed himself up slowly, looking a bit miffed, but not too injured.

"You'll pay for that." he growled out.

Adalina had no time to react as he appeared right before her, gripping her by the throat. She clawed at his arms to try and stop him, but to no evail, he was stronger.

She hadn't wanted to resort to such drastic measures, but she had no choice. She had only recently discovered she was capable of increasing her power, but she was unable to control it or maintain it. The last time she had tried, it had nearly killed her due to the amount of energy it consumed.

Adalina took a deep breath and ceased her struggling, her eyes narrowing. She knew what needed to be done, for the sake of her people.

With a battle cry she powered up, her teal aura flickering and expanding, the energy behind it causing Zarbon to release her and back up. She could feel her power increasing, but it was also rapidly draining her ki, and in turn, her health.

Zarbon's scouter was beeping rapidly as the number continued to go up, much to his surprise. She could potentially kill him, but if he knew anything about fighing, he knew that she had not trained this ability. He shouldn't have trouble, but Lord Frieza wouldn't be too happy if she died.

"Zarbon! Is that the target's power level?" Speak of the devil.

"Yes Lord Frieza, I believe she's powering up, but at this rate she won't last long, she's expending too much energy." he spoke as if he was walking on egg-shells, for he knew Frieza could kill him at any instance.

"See to it that she is brought to me alive, Zarbon." Frieza replied over the scouter's transmittor, "Such power could be useful to us." his voice was cold, and demanding.

"Yes sir." Zarbon replied and began quickly thinking of a way to hault her power-up, but nothing came to mind, "Don't you know you'll kill yourself if you do that!?" he shouted over the roar of her aura.

She didn't reply, it was too late to stop anyway, as she was already done. Her normally yellow irises were glowing a bright red, the crimson color engulfing the entirety of her eyes. She instantly raised her hands above her head and began rapidly gathering energy into a large teal sphere.

"You fool! You'll blow up the planet with a blast of that size!" Zarbon's eyes were wide, he couldn't believe how quickly she had gathered such a massive amount of ki.

"I won't let you sell my planet off like it's property! I'd rather it be destroyed if that's the case! I'll die, but I'm taking you and your little brigade with me." she shouted in determination.

"Lord Frieza, you may need to intervene, she plans to blow the planet up and I cannot stop a blast of that size." he called out over his transmittor.

"Tch, what a pain. I'm on my way, prevent her from throwing that thing until I get there."

Zarbon swallowed absent-mindedly, Frieza did not sound too happy. He was sure to get an ear-full later.

"What about the remainder of your race?" he questioned.

She gave a short laugh,

"They're going to be picked off one-by-one anyway, I'm doing them a favor."

Zarbon's scouter beeped once more, Frieza was nearly there. He only need stay her hand for mere moments longer.

"There's always a chance your people will be allowed to return, I know a majority of them escaped before we arrived." he gave her a tacit look, hoping the white lie would be enough to desuade her.

"Enough! I'm ending this!" Adalina threw the massive ball of ki directly at Zarbon. His eyes widened and his life flashed before his eyes.

The blast was suddenly directed upwards by a swift kick from Lord Frieza, the young tyrant seeming to struggle a bit in his first form. He was almost excited that it had taken the peak of his first form to budge such a blast; he had found a strong soldier indeed. He need only break her and mold her.

Adalina's eyes widened as she processed what had happened, but she had no time to lament her failures. Her body gave out on her and rapidly descended, hitting the ground with a dull thud. She had given her all, and still, she had failed.

"Stop gawking like an idiot and go retrieve her! She better be breathing." The tyrant commanded harshly.

Zarbon nodded and apologized before flying over to the fallen warrior. Her life-force was incredibly low, and she was barely breathing, but she was alive. He decided not to take any risks as he precariously layed her over his shoulder.

"Bring her to the ship immediately, she'll need medical treatment if she is to survive." Frieza didn't sound too happy, but hopefully he wouldn't feel the need to kill Zarbon.

Frieza smirked to himself, he could already imagine the thousands of planets that could be forced under his control with such a strong warrior in his ranks. She had the potential to become even stronger, and he would personally see to it that she did.

A/N: This chapter was edited and reuploaded on January twenty seventh.

And like that, I've started a new story. The catch? I acutally planned the entire plot out! I have a chart and everything, so I should be able to finish this. Now there will be a few OCs in this story, as I'm going to be introducing a new enemy and their cronies. I will be releasing images of my characters as their introduced, and you can find the on my dA, my user name is: KuroKagamiImejo(a mouthful, I know!) Now, Luckily,for all of you, or maybe not, I consider myself more of an artist than a writer, so you'll have some decent pictures to go with my horrible writing. Until next time!

Thanks for reading, and leave a review if you're enjoying the story, or hell, leave one if you're not, constructive criticism is always great, and I eat trolls for breakfest.
