She used to look at her mother do everything for her and she liked it, for she felt safe with her. The small planet she was living on was quite and the population was friendly and gentle. Her mother was so strong and she established both of their lives on this small, green planet with orange and pink skies. Their house was in a very vast land with lush fields and beautiful and colourful flowers. The little girl that she was grew up to be the spitting image of her mother: she had long black hair, dark eyes and a strong, lean body, proving her Saiyan heritage. The strength she inherited from her mother, both physical and mental, she worked on everyday while she trained with her senior. She was only a young adolescent girl, but she knew a very deep and dark power was boiling inside of her. She was happy living with her loving mother and she tried to be the best kid possible. After all, her mother saved both their lives and she had to live up to that. Her mother trained her in the arts of different martial arts and the little girl and now grown into a twelve-year-old girl, she found her strength and the courage to express it. After a good day of training, her mother would groom her hair and they would wash in the river nearby while laughing and talking. That's how the days went by with her mother, the woman she so desperately revered. That's how they went to sleep that night. She went into her own bed and her mother wished her goodnight and closed the bedroom door gently, leaving only a small crack of light so her daughter would know that she was always there for her. Her sleep was easy and effortless.

There was a loud crash in the middle of the night and she woke up, looking around to see if it was her mother who caused the noise drama in the small house. It seemed liked the lights of the house were struck down, so the young woman rose up and crawled outside of her room trying to trace her mother's energy. She was keeping hers low and she exited her bedroom slowly, looking around for any sign of danger. It was complete darkness in the house and she walked down the stairs slowly, crouching on the ground silence. She could hear screaming outside and she recognized her mother's voice from the open window in the kitchen. "How did you find me?" she heard her mother speak. Was someone looking for her, or for both of them? What in the world was going on to her mother? The young woman pushed back her long black locks and tried to analyse the power levels of the people her mother was talking to. There were two of them, that she knew well, but their power levels were unreadable and almost untraceable. They were also suppressing their powers. This alarmed her and she crouched lower to the ground and kept moving forward, towards the small kitchen, where her mother cooked her meals with love. Her bare feet were now up against the kitchen wall, near the window where the conversation between her mother and a man could be heard.

"It's been such a long time since we last saw each other, Kori, I thought that perhaps we could pay you a little visit, for old times sake. You sly vixen, you have been hiding for so long… It took me forever to trace your steps into this wide universe… But now that we found you, there is something we want from you." Who that the other person the man was referring to? She frowned and looked around to see if there was anything she could alert her mother with of her presence.

"What else can you take away from me, Paragus? I don't have anything that might interest you in the slightest… And you better not be talking about my legacy, you old monkey." She said, venom escaping her mother's mouth. The man called Paragus started laughing very strangely. He only spoke a few little words, but the fear in her mother's heart appeared slowly. "His legacy." These simple words made her mother tremble in fear for she knew the man Paragus was referring to, after all. The young woman could feel her heart pounding in her chest as she realized that they were talking about her. What did those men want with her, a child with only common fighting abilities?

"Where is my son's offspring? Where is the boy?! I can't feel his power level at all… you must be hiding him, for you are so great at it!" Paragus said, apparently very angry now. The young woman decided to look up the window to see what was happening and she saw her mother's hand flying in the air, hitting Paragus's gut so violently the ground shook and lightning was heard. She gasped as Paragus's body fell on the ground, not moving. The older man was in obvious pain and blood flowed through his mouth, falling on the ground. Her mother had used her immense power to stop the assailant from getting to her family, just as she had taught her daughter to protect her cherished things in life. Her daughter smiled as her mother racked the older man with a series of kicks and jabs.

"That was to make sure you understood me, old fool. Now get out of this planet immediately, before I kill you." Kori said to Paragus, her fists high in the air and so was her spirit. Her mother was strong and proud, just as any Saiyan would be of its lineage. She had learnt the same skills as her mother, of course, as the Saiyan rite of passage to adulthood. She could feel her mother's powers, her inhuman strength flowing in her veins and she was proud of it. She also wondered what boy they were taking about. Did she have a sibling she wasn't aware of? The young woman snapped. They were talking about her! "He's coming Kori. I suggest you do what I tell you before things get really serious." Her mother screamed out in pure rage.

"You have brought this monster here? How dare you, you son of a bitch!" said her mother, giving one last punch to Paragus, sending the man across the field, down in the dirt. Her mother knew that she was hiding in the kitchen, supressing her energy to stay unrevealed. The young woman crawled on the ground, heading towards the back door, wanting to take a closer look to her mother's fighting. The older woman was now a little bit out of breath, but she was in perfect fighting condition. Her black hair was tied back, letting her powerful eyes shine in the young moonlight. Her daughter was the spitting image of her mother, except for her eyes: hers were black, shining in the dim light with Saiyan pride. It was a full moon, but her mother had cut off her tail at birth.

She later learned in life that once a Saiyan looked at the moon while it was full, it became a terrible monster. That seemed to have scared her mother enough to take the painful decision to cut her daughter's tail off. Her mother saw her through the door glass and she smiled. She was about to wave back at her, but a sudden tremor shook the house so violently she fell on the ground, stunned. When she rose up, she opened the door and ran to her mother, who also fell on the ground, her leg wounded in the process. "Mother, are you able to stand up?" she asked.

"Of course." Was all she replied. She was looking in the distance, deep in thoughts. She had never saw her mother in such a state of mind: she was beyond scared and this frightened the young woman. The deep clouds of dirt and sand blinded their views of what had happened. Soon enough, they saw in the horizon a small, round and white spaceship, much like the one her mother possessed. The hatch had been opened and something escaped from its insides. Her mother gasped and her daughter grabbed her arm, pulling her away slowly. A huge being came out of the space pod, like a giant. His arms were strong and his stature was impressive, even for a man. His chest was broad and his neck was bulging with muscles. He was truly a physical menace. The young woman dared to look upwards and saw what she feared the most: a pair of deadly, black eyes that resembled hers. She noticed his harsh and violent expression was directed towards her mother, who was now standing taller in front of this being.

"I found you, Kori." He said as a whisper. Saiyan hearing was developed enough to hear whispers a mile away and his voice was so deep and menacing it sent shivers up both their spines. The young woman could see the older man called Paragus walking towards them, injured by her mother's hits, his arms rendered useless. The walking of the mystical giant was now faster and her mother put an arm before her young daughter, pushing her aback. "Fly away as fast as you can and take the space pod." She said to her. "I can't leave you here with that thing, mother! Come with me, please!" She tried to pull her mother's arm to her side, but she refused, snapping it away. "Please, leave!" she said, pushing her daughter harder this time, meaning her words.

"Who is this, Kori? Some useless being you're desperately trying to save from me?" Her mother did not reply. Instead, she insisted her daughter pressing on towards the back shed where she hid the space pod, years ago, when she arrived on this planet. The man raised one hand and smiled evilly. "That's a no no, I think!" he sent the most intense energy wave the young woman had ever seen towards her destination and the shed exploded in a violent black, along with her escape plan. Both women turned back at the monster in front of them, the mother grabbing her child's arm, pulling her towards her.

"Kori, I will not kill you right away for the fun of taking your head off of your body would send too much pleasure to my limbs. Now, hand me my son before I destroy this planet." He said, venom escaping his mouth. Paragus had now joined the three of them, his head bleeding a little. "Broly, do not look farther for a boy, for there is none here. Only these two pathetic beings are on these lands." Broly growled in anger, sending a chill down the young woman's back. Kori smiled and chuckled.

"Old man, I didn't think you were this smart. Of course there is no boy here that your son fathered. Only she and I live here. I'm sorry to disappoint you to say I did not produce a male heir out of your blood, Broly. Instead, you have given to this world a beautiful, powerful, deadly daughter. Fortunately for you, she's standing right here." She said. The young woman's heart stopped. This being, this monster that her mother feared with such a passion was her father? She looked back to her genitor's eyes and it seemed that Broly was also looking right back at her, angry beyond words.

"Impossible… You witch! That's impossible! She's useless, meaningless to me! Her power level is so ridiculously small…! She's pathetic beyond belief, what tells you that I am…? She can't be the child I am searching for!" he said out loud, speaking to himself, his hands now gripping his head. The young woman did not want this monster to see her tears. Instead, she laughed and looked at her mother. Paragus growled and Broly snapped his expression towards them.

"He's right, mother. This cannot be my father. Look at him, unable to control his anger. He's worthless. He means nothing to me." Broly trembled in rage as his daughter marched towards him, her eyes set on his. She stopped right in front of the man and crossed her arms, her chin in the air. "I am not a boy, that you are right. I am far better than any boy you will father and I have more worth than any other Saiyan men here!" She said, showing him her teeth, growling. All she could here was Paragus's laugh as Broly stayed silent, in a trance. "Well, she surely has her mother's attitude. But that won't last for long…" He said, grabbing the young woman's arm. She snapped it back and punched her grandfather in the face so hard she heard the bones in his nose crack, making the man cough out blood.

"Do not touch me!" She said, sending an energy wave towards her paternal grandfather, pushing the man back into the ground, yelping in pain. Broly, her father, was still in a trance of shock and wasn't moving. She quickly turned around and ran to her mother, who seemed to be also in shock, but she managed to mumble something about darkness inside of Broly's heart, which she did not bother to understand. Suddenly, a loud scream was heard that put both women on the ground. Broly had escaped his shock and powered up so quickly Kori had to protect her daughter from debris caused by this sudden tremor. It was a scream one could only hear once in its life: it was so deranged, so powerful, so deadly. The young woman was pushed down to the ground by her mother's powerful arms and felt the energy of her senile father running through her fingers as she touched the ground. His energy was so pure, yet so uncontrolled it nearly made her cry in fear. She feared he would come to get her and make her suffer. She was also scared for her dear mother, whom she thought her father would take revenge on. She had to do something. She could suddenly feel the power her mother possessed being taken out of her body, meaning she was about to fight.

"Mother, don't fight without me!" she pleaded to her mother. The older woman let the young girl out of her grasp to stand up behind her. "Listen to me. There is one way, only one way out of here and that is to use one of their space pods to escape. You will fly to one of these and escape this planet." The young woman gasped, but her mother reassured her with a smile.

"Don't worry! I'll escape with the other one. Trust your mother, darling." The girl nodded and she flew towards one of the pods, but was violently grabbed by a powerful hand and rushed into the ground with a loud thump. Her senses were affected for a couple of seconds and she found herself facing the most dangerous man in this galaxy, inches away from his face. "Where do you think you're going, little girl?" he said, an evil grin pressed on his lips. She gasped as he grabbed her throat, pulling her away from the ground. Her mother was now running towards her, but Broly had pushed her back with a destructive energy wave, sending the woman into the house, destroying it in the process. "Mother…!" She was stopped by Broly's grasp getting stronger on her delicate throat, making the young woman grab her father's arm, trying to push him away.

"Struggle all you want, little bug. You can't escape." She knew she wouldn't last long at this rate. She had to do something to get herself out of this mess of else it would be the end of her. Deep down inside her heart, she knew she had the same violent energy as her genitor and she looked deeply inside herself to find that last hope. She could only thing about her mother, her crying mother, in pain, her head under Broly's feet. He was going to kill her and not even regret it. Power surged through her body from the anger this man was making her experience. She could feel the jolt of the same energy her father had displayed running in her veins. She grabbed Broly enormous arm much harder this time, making him grunt in anger. "Little vermin!" She felt it snap inside of her and she let it all go in one distinct scream, her anger exploding in one single shot, making everything around her trembling.

When she opened her eyes, she was no longer in Broly's gasp and was standing firmly on the ground, her father inches away from her, smiling. "Well, you're not so pathetic after all. Looks like you inherited your strength from me, after all. I want to see more!" he said, punching her guts, making her fall on her knees in pain. She could only hear her mother's screams behind her. She was running towards them. "Let her go, Broly! You saw everything you wanted to see, now leave her be! She has done nothing wrong! I was the one who caused you all this pain. Take it all on me, not on her…" she said, quickly grabbing her mate's arm in despair. He only laughed at her.

"Kori, you stupid woman. Do you honestly think I would fight you in the state you're in? You lost every shred of power you once possessed. Even this little girl could defeat you in battle." He said, laughing, while his daughter was lying on the ground, stunned. Her mother cried but stayed on her feet. "You want to fight, Broly? I'll give you everything I have. You will not regret any of it, for all the years you spent trying to find me and to gut me alive." She grabbed his arm, immobilizing him for the shortest moment. "Get up! Now's your chance! Please, find Kakarott and never mention this to any one but him! Get out of here!" she screamed to her daughter. Broly caught interest in what Kori had said and his hands began to tremble out of fury. "Kakarott… KAKAROTT!" She quickly listened to her mother and ran in the opposite direction, towards the space pod her grandfather used, in the fields. She cried because she knew her mother wouldn't make it out alive. She continued running and she could see in the distance the small, white, metallic space ball in the soil of her lands. She was about to jump into the space pod when she was abruptly stopped by Paragus, who was standing right in front of his, his leg now bleeding.

"I suggest you do not leave. You'll have to kill me if you want to use this." He said, unfolding his arms, blocking the young woman's way. She smiled and put her hand in the air, inches away from his face. "Move it, you fool." She sent a blast so intense towards her grandfather this one fell to the ground, wounded. She quickly stepped inside the space pods, but was stopped once again by all the buttons and screens inside the machine. She gasped as she saw her father now flying at the speed of light towards her, her mother on his tail. She pressed the first button she saw and the shuttle quickly moved, sending her into the air at a very fast pace. She was now heading into space, her father still tailing her. He quickly moved towards the space pod and she screamed when she saw his face through the space pod glass. She was now directly facing him. He wasn't smiling. He wasn't even remotely furious. He only said to her something she would never forget. "I'll find you again, Celera!" He said, while laughing maniacally, his face distorted with anger and agony. The space pod escaped the planet's atmosphere and she looked back to see her mother's pod escape too, but she saw nothing. Warm tears rolled down her cheeks as she saw, moments later, her whole world end with her planet's destruction. She turned back and closed her eyes, dreaming of her mother and herself seeing each other one last time. Her destination she did not know. Her mother's last words to her were to find this man, called Kakarott. She would obey her mother's last wishes.
