Flashback[/b][/u]

It had been a while since Maize and her squad left [i]King[/i] Vegeta's Empire. She sometimes wondered just how big his ego had grown since he established himself as leader of Frieza and Cold's entire empire. Maybe she'd visit one day. She was in a desperate need of a good fight and hoped that he had achieved Super Saiyan by now. Her thoughts were interrupted by a sudden jolt of of turbulence. She sighed before opening her eyes. "Peech, did you fly us through an asteroid field again?"

Peech was the pilot of their crew. Sometimes he got a bit overzealous at the controls. "Not this time, boss. We've got enemy incoming. It looks to be a pirating vessel."

"Oh? They want to board our ship, do they? Let's evade and lead them to the nearest planet. I've been itching for a good fight."

Peech nodded and maneuvered in a way to get out of the pirates' range. The others on the ship started to get ready for a battle. They were partly nervous. They were capable fighters, but they weren't Saiyans and stood nowhere near a Super Saiyan. But Maize was confident in each and every one of them. They weren't slackers like the rest of the empire. They saw her power and refused to be hindrances to her and her growth.

"I'd like to thank all of you for sticking with me. I know I wasn't the best leader when we started out, but you all helped me change for the better and I couldn't have asked for a better team."

A rather muscular human-esque alien named Gourdon chuckled a bit before speaking up. "You're acting like we're all about to die. You don't have to thank us. You freed us all from the tyrant. We'd follow you anywhere."

Maize hid her concern with a smile. She had sensed the energies in the pursuing ship. There were about five signatures in all so they were even in that regard, but she could tell they weren't weaklings either. One in particular had a power similar to her own and the others weren't too far behind. This wasn't going to be easy. Before she knew it they were on the planet, but inside the ship they were sitting ducks. They quickly exited and waited for their pursuers to land.

They did so in the empty field across from them. The pirates exited their ship to reveal five bluish aliens with orange hair. The largest and the clear leader of the group stepped forward and spoke aloud to her. "Word around the galaxy is that you're the monkey that axed the lizard king. I have to say. I'm not all that impressed. Zangya." 

In an instant the only woman of the group charged forward and appeared directly in front of Maize. She pulled her arm back to punch her but Maize stepped back and easily caught the fist. "Wow, you're pretty. But those ears... I thought space elves were just a myth." This pissed Zangya off and she sent a flurry of punches and kicks at Maize the next with more fury than the last. Maize dodged her attacks due to how easy they were to read. She was broadcasting her thoughts and emotions. When she grew tired of dodging the onslaught she sent a powerful kick-flip directly to Zangya's face. She was a pirate. She didn't need to be too pretty.

The cord of battle had finally been struck. Both sides charged at each other while Bojack and Maize remained behind watching both their people and each other. Her squad was holding their own for a while, but the tides shifted when the Galaxy Soldiers ensnared them in their trap of threads. She could feel the energy in her friends being drained and was no longer comfortable with standing on the sidelines. She created a clone of herself who immediately went into Wrath Form to help the others. The clone targeted Zangya first distracting her enough to release Gourdon from bondage. He then went on to help Peech and the others while Maize's Wrath Clone stayed to finish off Zangya.

At the rate things were going Maize was sure they'd get overwhelmed soon. Especially with her splitting her power like this. She turned her attention back to Bojack. "You want to know how this monkey defeated Frieza? I'll give you a personal lesson." She exhaled softly and closed her eyes. She could feel the familiar tingling sensation connected to her own transformation and burst with power and a swirl of yellow energy before her Super Saiyan form was revealed. All Bojack could do was smirk and all she wanted to do was wipe it off his face. She pulled the bases of her hands together in front of her abdomen. An orb of yellow energy formed in her palms. She clenched harder compressing it slightly.

"You're gonna attack me from all the way over there? Good luck with that." Bojack mused.

Maize tried to ignore him, but couldn't help but smirk as well. When the orb finished charging she disappeared in an instant, but it was clear that she hadn't made any movements to run. Where did she go? Did she turn invisible? Bojack couldn't sense her energy until it was too late. She popped up about two feet in front of him. She thrust out her arms releasing the loud and powerful beam. "Instant Transmission Thunder Cannon!" She didn't care how strong he was. There was no way he was going to survive this attack at that range. But she was wrong.

Bojack was able to transform into his full-power form at the last second saving him from the beam. When the smoke from the explosion cleared he revealed his form in all of its glory. His skin was now completely green, his hair was now red, and he was RIPPED. This was just like the Super Saiyan transformation, but still different. She didn't know there were other races out there with similar transformations. "Oh, that's the look that I like. Your hopelessness. Show me more." He stepped forward and punched her directly in the gut. Her hair flickered black for just a second before returning to yellow. Maize hunched over his fist spitting out at the same time. She's never been hit this hard before. Bojack grabbed her entire face with the palm of his right hand and lifted her off his other arm and held her in the air. "I hope that's not all the fight you have in you. It's been a while since I've had to use this form. Give me more." He charged a blast in his left hand and blasted her in the same spot he punched her while releasing her face from his grip. She was sent flying and crashed across the field. She struggled to her feet. She couldn't fight him with her power halved like this. Her clone had did its job in helping out her team. They had managed to at least take out the pipsqueak and Zangya. She willed her clone to dissipate and felt the return of her power. It wasn't all completely there though. Both she and her clone used up more power than they wanted to.

She formed two Warrior Blood Moon's in her hands and charged forward. Bojack charged his Grand Smasher and dashed towards her, ready to clash.

Maize awakened groggily in the ruins of what appeared to be some kind of stadium. The last thing she could remember was fighting some blue-skinned pirates with her squad. Her squad! Where were they? She hoped they were okay, but she couldn't worry about them right now. She had to figure out where the Hell she was. She noticed that she was no longer in Super Saiyan but she still looked a bit battle-worn. Her armor was completely gone now and all she had on was her body suit.

She sensed around for anyone else hoping that her friends would be around. No such luck. She couldn't feel their ki signatures. Were they dead or just somewhere else? But she did sense about seven others. One was charging up an attack and she could feel the killing intent in the attack. She wasn't sure who they were or who they were attacking, but instinctually she felt the need to jump in and stop them. At least until she could figure out what was going on around here.

Maize stood up and placed two fingers to her forehead. In an instant she disappeared hovering behind and slightly above the young attacker before sending a quick axe kick down onto his shoulder. [i]"Wait, is that a kid?"[/i] She thought to herself, but it was too late. She was already following through with the kick.
