There he stood in the middle of his great arena, arms crossed over his chest smirking; his large, arrogant ego never faltering.

Cell, after completing the transformation stood in his 'perfect form', waiting for a long 9 days to come to an end. Soon after defeating Goku in his tournament, he would then conquer the Earth and it weak inhabitants. The only promblem was, he wished he had set a shorter time limit. The android often sighed to himself, frustrated.

Then again, seeing the look on the humans' faces as he brought terror to them made the wait worth it.

'Such a pitiful existance. I would be doing them a favor.' He mused to himself. As he opened his eyes from his thinking, they widened as he looked down.

Standing, on his platform was a small brown colored feline, minding its own buisiness without a care in the world.

Cell's eye twitched as he watched the cat. 'What in Kami's name is THAT doing on MY platform?'

The cat, arousing from cleansing itself, looked at the tall menace boredly, as if wondering what he was looking at.

A vein flexed in Cell's neck in agitation. He knew a creature with such low intelligence could be at least slightly smarter than this.

Cell smirked and formed a small ball of energy in his hand. "You better hope you do have nine lives."

Just as he was about to incinerate the trespassing feline, a call echoed across the desolate terrain.

The cat's ears perked up at the sound and made a gracefull dash to the end of the arena, listening to the call.

Cell's hand fell by his side as he watched,curious. Had he heard that correctly?

They listened for a few brief seconds when a voice sounded out again, this time only closer.

"MUH-DDDDD! KITTY~?" the voice echoed again just over the mountain in front of them.

In an instant, the cat jumped down and started towards the voice. Cell watched, quite puzzled if anything. What was a human doing around here? Wouldn't they have known to stay clear of the 'danger' area since his t.v broadcast?

Through the almost dark sky, Cell watched with his keen eyesight as a human-like figure rounded from the mountain.

He grimaced.

'Must humans always stick their noses everywhere?'

Truth be told, Cell had also liked the area because of its emptyness. He did NOT intend to deal with any humans pestering about.

Quietly, Cell took off into the sky, intending to teach this trespasser and it's pet a lesson.

(^.^) =c^,^c = (T.T)

Alyssa beamed joyfully with a smile as Mud jumped into her arms. She held the cat at arms' length and scolded him. "Expect a leash when we get home."she growled. "The things I go through for a cat…" she mumbles as her eyes softened, seeing how adorable Mud looked.

Shaking her head at her display of weakness, she turned and began the walk back home.

Suddenly, something floated down just a few feet in front of her. Alyssa supressed a yelp as her eyes widened. Debating in her head miles an hour if she was seeing reality. Unfortunately Mud hissing disdainfully at the alien told her this was real.

"State your buisiness here, human."

Alyssa visibly jerked at it's voice. Fear slowly creeping in as the thing started tapping its foot…or boot? She couldn't tell.

"Staring isn't exactly polite." It spoke.

Her head shot up and with wide eyes stared into the magneta purple ones looking into her own. "S-sorry…" when she didn't say anything she assumed he was waiting for her explantation. "I-I was just looking for M-Mud." The girl tilted her head, wondering if the creature would step from the dark to reveal itself.

"Mud?"

Alyssa paused, did she hear amusement in his voice?

Concentrating once again she shook her head and pointed toward the tabby.

"Then perhaps a 'leash' a good thing."

Alyssa did a double take at what it said.

"Huh…?"

That's when she saw it's eyes narrow, as if it expected her to know better.

" You said yourself. Plus I don't want to deal with any more trespassers. So keep it locked up." Its voice much more intimidating.

With that she saw a palish sort of hand point at her cat.

Frightened at the movement, Mud sought escape and used the poor girl as a climbing post. Lashing its claws across her chest and neck, eventually jumping and taking off into the dark.

Cell let out an amused snicker, seeing it coming before it happened.

Alyssa groaned,beginning to find the troublemaker once again. Within a second, the being that was behind her dropped the cat at her feet.

She gasped, but before she could talk it beat her.

"It's just unconsious. Besides, I wouldn't want you out here all night looking for it. That would just annoy me."

Still baffled, she scooped the limp pet into her arms. "T-thankyou." She smiled slightly, even despite hearing it grunt angry for some reason.

There was a short silence, until he broke the silence.

"If I were you," Cell shook his head at the thought " I'd worry about bleeding to death than a cat."

After all, humans were so fragile and could lose their life to the simplest of things.

Glancing down, she did a double take noticing the long trails of blood down her neck. 'How did I not feel that?'

Flushed, she smiled again. "To whom do I owe my thanks for finding Mud?"

There was a silence..before the dark air filled with a sigh. "Cell…"
