Chapter
22 - No Way Out
Ii
looked at the island that Pastri and Linni were hiding
in.
"Glorious day! Today I will be at full power!"
Ii took a deep breath...
"I know you're in there!" he yelled, "and I know
you have what I'm after! Give me the Dragon Balls and
maybe I'll go easy on you!"
Everyone heard this...Linni, Pastri and even Piccolo and the
boys.
After hearing this, the boys flew on faster, knowing that Pastri
and Linni were in real trouble now.
Pastri was sitting down holding the Dragon Balls. She
sniffed, and rubbed her nose. The water was real cold, and
she accidentally breathed in some water when her air supply was
running out. She turned to Linni who was looking out a
crack on the side of the mountain.
"Is Ii still out there?"
"Yeah he is, and he looks like he ain't going anywhere
else." Linni said, and sat beside Pastri.
"I can sense Piccolo, Rue, Sage and Thyme coming to help
us, but they won't get here in time. I know
it."
Pastri cast a worried look, and continued to listen to Ii's
threats.
"Gokou...."
Ii
looked for any movement. None. He was growing
impatient.
"Fine. If that's how you feel about it, I will
destroy the island you are hiding in. I'll give you the
count of 10!"
Linni and Pastri gasped and stood up quickly.
"What are we to do?!" Linni asked.
Ii raised his hand and began to gather energy for the
blast. His countdown began...
"10!..."
Linni and Pastri looked through the crack in the mountain and
saw Ii and his ki attack.
"What should we do Linni?"
"Should we fight him?"
"Are you crazy?"
"Yeah! But what other options do we have?"
No reply.
"9!..."
Linni wiped the water off her face and turned to Pastri.
"Maybe we should fight?"
"It seems like the only choice."
"Yeah, but we can be killed today."
"I know, but we have to protect the Dragon Balls..."
"8!..."
"What to do? What to do?" Linni panicked.
Pastri stepped back and looked at the two Dragon Balls she held
in her hands. They were the 6-star Dragon Ball and the
4-star Dragon Ball. She shut her eyes, trying to make a
decision.
"7!..."
"Pastri! We're running out of time!"
No reply.
Linni turned around to see Pastri looking serious.
"What's the matter?"
Pastri looked up and walked over. She put the 2 dragon
balls in Linni's hands.
"What are you doing Pastri?!"
"6!..."
Pastri smiled cheerfully.
"I want you to protect the Dragon Balls while I distract
Ii-Shenron."
"WHAT?! Are you insane?" Linni cried, "I know
this sounds brave and all, but I'm no chicken
Pastri. I'm going to fight him too along beside you."
Pastri shook her head.
"You can't. I need someone to get these Dragon balls
away."
"But..."
"5!..."
"...why does it have to be you Pastri? Why not
me?"
Pastri touched the 4-star Dragon Ball.
"My grandmother use to tell me and Gokou a story...that our
great ancestor, Son Gokou's, spirit is in
it. You see I can't let Ii get a hold of it. I have
to protect my great great grandfather's soul."
Linni's eyes widened.
"Are you out of your mind Pastri?! There's no such
thing!"
"4!..."
Pastri turned serious again.
"I know it does Linni, but this is my way. Just do
what I ask please?"
Linni sighed, and took the 2 Dragon Balls.
"Fine Pastri, but even though I'm older and I have to be
more responsible-"
"Linni!"
"Alright already, go then!" Linni yelled.
"3!..."
"Thanks Linni."
"Whatever, but don't blame me if you get dead or hurt
okay?"
"2!..."
Pastri chuckled.
"Sure Linni, its a deal."
"1!.."
"Good luck Pastri..."
"Thanks."
"0!"
Ii laughed.
"Too bad!"
He launched the ball, but a sharp disk of energy sliced through
it, destroying the attack. Ii watched as the energy disk
disappeared, and Pastri appeared.
Ii laughed.
"First a Namekseijin, human boys, and now a human
girl? What is this world coming too?"
Pastri clenched her fists.
"Correction, I'm a Saiya girl."
Ii shrugged his shoulders.
"All the same...all weak. Now where are the Dragon
balls little girl?"
"I don't have them."
"Then it must be with your other friend right?"
Pastri became stunned, and Ii laughed.
"I'm not a fool. I sensed two ki signals during your
pitiful escape."
Ii looked at Pastri...
"But too bad that both of your efforts were a waste
huh?"
"What?-"
Ii looked at the island, and his eyes glowed. The island
exploded and debris scattered everywhere.
"LINNI!" Pastri cried.
Ii laughed.
"Oops, it seems like I destroyed the island."
Pastri yelled at Ii, telling him he destroyed the Dragon Balls
too.
"Fool. With the 5 balls with me, I can see the glow
of the other 2. What will I do, you ask? Well, I
destroy everything around the balls."
Pastri grew dramatically angry.
"You...you...you'll die for that. Maybe not by me,
but by my cousin...Gokou!"
Ii laughed, and watched as Pastri launched a bunch of attacks at
him. Ii evaded them, and smacked her into another
island. Pastri got up, pleasing Ii, and launched a Kame
Hame Ha wave, but Ii just moved out of the way. Ii
laughed, and threatened Pastri, but she wasn't done.
Moving her arms in an anti-clockwise direction, she motioned her
energy wave to turn back around and hit Ii straight in the back.
Pastri flew up into the sky, and looked around.
"I know you're still here Ii..."
She saw the smoke disappear and realized Ii was nowhere in
sight.
"Where are you?" Pastri mumbled.
"Right behind you!" came Ii's voice.
Pastri turned around surprised, but couldn't move out of the way
in time. Ii kicked Pastri away, and threw some ki strings
that bided her. She screamed, and powered up, trying to
escape, but Ii just tightened the strings. Holding the
strings, he used it to toss Pastri sideways.
"Hold on! I'm going to throw you into a
mountain!" Ii told her.
Ii kept turning around, faster and faster, building up speed,
ready to throw...
Just as he was about to let go, a beam of sharp ki pierced the
strings and released Pastri.
"What the-"
Pastri regained herself, and looked around.
"I'm
here to help you Pastri."
