INTERPLANETARY MESSAGE: UNPROMPTED. (SUBJECT MATTER: A PLEA FOR PERSONAL CHANGE) // sender: @peoplcshope // status-- always open!
"I've already gave up in trying to change you..you'll never change the way you are..but don't you see what you're doing doesn't make you any different from Frieza?! You birthed kingdoms out of fear, death and blood. You don't have subjects..just planets with civilizations afraid of you. One day that fear is going to give birth to someone that can stop you..and I've seen it time and time again. But it's not too late for you..I'm not telling you to abandon your 'saiyan' pride but I'm begging. Be a ruler, not a tyrant. Be a queen that people will put their lives on the line for and not a dictator that needs to be stopped."
One way to get under Maiz's skin quickly was to imply the way she dealt with the Saiyan Genocide (through conquering and ravaging other planets) was wrong. That, she, somehow was wrong for clinging to life-- a choice THAT WAS NOT HER DECISION TO MAKE. Yet, twice, the choice was made on her behalf. Once by her mother, Karne, who sent her away in the first place out of genuine, maternal love. Then, by the no longer kind-hearted Kokytans, the inhabitants of the planet she crash-landed upon when the Galactic Patrol shot her spacepod out of the sky.
The second way-- as she discovered during her time with him-- was to be compared to Frieza. She's never met the tyrant in person, yet the name alone stirred up unpleasant, uncomfortable feelings in her. Being reminded of the native language, spiritual practices and religious customs many Saiyans were stripped of brought her heartache. Three years before her birth, the last holy temple was destroyed on Frieza's orders; this event led to the official creation of Team Bardock and marked the end of their once-proud Race once and for all (which happened ten cycles or 'years' later). The Revolt of Eelnana, as it was called then, occured over a timeframe of ten days and ten nights. It only lasted that long because at that point, the Saiyans were deeply fractured, divided by those who wanted to make their lives easier (Colonized/Modernized Saiyans) and those who thought Frieza had long-since gone too far (Traditionalist Saiyans). The Saiyans who advocated for the temple's destruction, the stupid, arrogant bastards they were, had no idea FRIEZA WAS INSATIABLE. (No matter what they did, nothing would've been enough. Absolutely nothing).
"Dtioi," she snarled at him in their native tongue. There were many ways to insult someone in Ancient Saiya. Many ways to insult someone's intelligence, fighting capabilities or thinking/reasoning skills. She was no stranger to underestimating Trunks or 'playfully' calling him stupid or foolish for many things he's done and said. Of course she mellowed out with time, or began to-- but whenever he tried to engage her in a serious conversation about the way she went about conquest, none of the progress he made with Maiz was visible. In fact, the way she reacted tended to be the same; knee-jerk anger and rage at him for daring to criticize her. Callous DISMISSAL. Sharp put-downs, whether it was with her tone of voice, her choice of words or her hands, elbows, legs and feet. SHE DISTINCTLY REMEMBERED TELLING HIM TO NOT DO THIS ANYMORE.
Without warning, an object was flung in the time traveler's direction. A round, wooden table complete with a small plant and expensive looking tea cups and a pitcher. Unfortunately, there were all made to break with excessive force so even if the man caught the table, the fragile things would fall and shatter rather loudly. And easily. "--AS IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT'S LIKE FOR ME!" Her voice was louder than usual, louder than expected. "You couldn't even save your precious little timeline and you're here, lecturing me about my planets?! AT LEAST I HAVE SOMETHING LEFT TO MAINTAIN, you useless CREATURE!" Her fingers twitched with discomfort and disgust at the comparison eating her alive. Reason and logic flew out of the window, displaced by blind fury-- the type that leaves a lasting scar, the types that destroys, much like the legend of the Super Saiyan. Her body shook, unable to contain all of the feelings drudged up. For the first time, she displayed the true face of her anger; a legitimate manifestation of it.
Her dark complexion lightened several degrees to where she looked red; steam rolled off of her in visible, tangible waves. The breaths taken by her were heavy and labored. She clenched and unclenched her fists as an unconscious self-soothing technique but it didn't work. Instead of exuding a chilly aura, the ki around her flipped to the other extreme -- heat. She was suddenly the same thing as a SAUNA with thick smoke; suffocating, unrelenting, uncompromisingly dense and threatening. The ship lights above her flickered and sparked. The walls gained cracks and dents in them, despite them being made out of material to prevent this situation from happening.
"Do you think it's FUNNY to tell me I'm anything like the monster that MADE ME THE WAY I AM?!"
