Hey guys this is my story, I just converted chapter 1 and 2 into this chapter cause they were too short by themselves. I apologize that I don't know the complete dialogue for the Cell Games, so don't bother me about it. I don't own any of the DBZ characters, only ones that you have never heard of belong to me. So... Without further delay here it is, my first story:

Warrior of the Fallen

Chapter 1

The Arrival


Goku watched on, his golden spikes bending slightly in the gentle breeze, his gi rustled softly against his skin. His green eyes lay upon his opponent, the one that he would soon be competing against. With a calm glance to his only son, he gave a small, confident smile. Gohan, bearing the golden hair and green eyes only known to a Super-Saiyan, hesitantly returned his gaze to the tournament floor, where the object of every earthlings fear stood.

Cell.

Just the mention of the name struck ear into the hearts of every living creature on the planet.

An abomination created by the menace, Dr. Gero, who's sole purpose was to destroy everything he came across of, whether it be good or evil.

Gohan was worried, not for himself, but for everyone around, his family, friends, and everyone else on the planet Earth. He did not share the same confidence that his father possessed. Goku had a plan that only he knew, a secret that he was sure could finish Cell.

Goku could feel the tension in the air, surrounding the Z-fighters. He and Vegeta seemed to be the only ones perfectly calm. His gaze shifted back to the battle floor, where Cell stood, arms crossed over his chest, eyes closed, and head lowered, rather impatient.

The last hope for the humans, or so they thought, walked forward onto the white ring floor. Hercule, the strongest human not to use any ki attacks, and the public's last hope, stood confident, even though he trembled with fear on the inside. After a few stretches, and unnecessary poses, he prepared himself to strike upon the monster, putting himself into a fighting stance. Cell didn't move at all, he just stood there with the same impatient frown across his strong features. When his opponent didn't budge, Hercule took this as his hint to strike first, and broke into a run, charging the oversized green bug. Fist pulled back ready to hit its target, the space closed between him and his stone like opponent. Just as Hercule reached striking range, a green hand slipped free of its hold, and dropped down in front of him, before swinging up with little effort. The human crowd-pleaser was instantly swatted away, like the mere fly he was, before crashing into the hard ground, outside the ring. The humans of Earth watched on, shocked that their greatest fighter was knocked away as if he were some annoyance, and truth to be told, he was.

Krillen cringed slightly, before shrugging.

"Well, can't say that wasn't expected." He said smiling meekly. The others watched on as they realized that their turn to fight was almost at hand.

Cell opened his eyes, and looked up at the Z-fighters standing above the ring.

"Now, Goku, we will fight." He said, or rather, demanded.

Goku stepped forward, prepared for the battle, but stopped as something caught his attention. He turned his head towards his left, beyond the camera crew, where he sensed something. Cell watched his for a moment, before following Goku's gaze, and quickly picked up on the same thing that Goku sensed, a new ki. He wouldn't have paid attention to it, had it not been slightly higher than normal. Barely higher than a human's ki mind you.

They watched for a few moments, before a figure in the distance became visible. It was walking towards them, not terribly rushed, but then, as it knew it had been detected, it broke out into a run, still towards the ring.

By this time the rest of the Z-fighters were watching the figure as it approached. As it neared the camera crew along the side of the battle ring, it didn't bother going around the van. It took to the air in one leap, soaring through the air before landing beyond the humans and walked slowly on to the ring, where it stopped.

It held a mysterious air. It's face and body hidden from the bright light by a sort of hooded cloak.

A voice rang out from the unknown figure, with confidence, determination, and something else that surprised everyone.

"I wish for you to fight me first Cell." There was a pause before Yamcha's astonishment got the best of him.

"A girl?" He said, his face mirroring the amazement of everyone there.

"Very well." Cell said, obviously tired of fighting weak humans. But the unknown fighter caught his tone of voice, and spoke up, still bearing the cloak to hide her features.

"You underestimate me Cell. I assure you, I will not go down easily." With that said, her left hand appeared from beneath the cloth and grabbed the hood that covered her face, and pulled the cloak off in one tug, discarding it outside the ring.

Her hair was short, no more than three inches long, and held an abnormal stone gray color. Her eyes mirrored her hair color, but held an unknown ferocity. Her jaw was clenched tightly, making the muscles visible on her face. Like all of the Z-fighters, she appeared muscular, even for a girl.

Much like those who bore the saiyan armor, she wore black spandex like material, sleeves coming to a t-shirt length, whereas her pant legs stretched down to her black battle boots. Her armor was also black, cut into glossy plates that covered her chest and back. Large pieces of the armor covered the front and backs of her biceps, thighs, and calves. The unnamed warrior stood slightly taller that Vegeta, but Goku could still towered over her. But the most intriguing feature was her right arm, where her forearm should have been, was replaced with a metal robotic arm. It began just after the elbow, a solid piece of metal in the rough shape of a normal forearm, until it reached the wrist, where it detached and formed into a hand. The fingers were longer than normal, and did not contain any joints allowing it to bend. Each finger ended with a tapered talon, sharp beyond reason, providing her with a useful advantage in battle.

She was visibly strong, but against Cell, her chances were limited.

Cell watched the female warrior skeptically. She seemed confident, like she would actually make a difference in this battle, but he hardly thought so.

She stood there silently, waiting, her grey eyes boring into his. Cell assumed that he would make the first, and most likely, the last move. His feet lifted off the ground as he charged her, determined to end this battle. She just stood there as he neared, her eyes never leaving his. Just as he was about to hit her, she moved. Cell went right by her, and her leg came up and hit him in the back of his head further, propelling him towards the cliff face behind her. Cell's look of shock wore off quickly, as he controlled his speed and turned around, his eyes showed his anger clearly.

"Human fool." He spat, his temper taking over momentarily.

"Actually, I'm neither." Silence engulfed the arena.

"I can't understand what else you would be." Cell stated calmly. She just smirked.

"Perhaps this will give you a hint." She said, still smirking. Cell watched calmly, yet curiously. She didn't move, and their eyes never left each others. Then his face suddenly shifted into that of surprise.

Her eyes had changed from the cold stone grey color, to a vibrant aqua green. A steady wind blew around her, causing sand to fly. Her short hair rose, standing on end as a flash of light was set off from her body, signaling to Cell that this probably wouldn't be as easy as he thought. Her hair, still holding the grey color, flashed, yet remained grey. It flashed a final time, only this time it stayed at a golden color, shimmering brightly in its own light. During the entire time of her transformation, the smirk had rested on her face.

"That... That's impossible, she can't be a Super Saiyan, there's no way, we're the only ones left!" Vegeta stated.

Cell's look of surprise dissolved to a serious expression, eyes still boring into her green ones.

"So you're a saiyan. I never guessed there would be another one." He said calmly. Her eyes left his and shifted up to the cliff where the group of fighters stood. She looked at them for the first time, her green eyes narrowed slightly at the sight of the two super saiyans, bearing the same golden hair and eye colour as herself. Her eyes landed on Trunks, studied him carefully, and looked back to Cell.

"If you're done with the idle chit chat, I'd like to begin this battle."

"Very well." Cell said, coolly. This battle was going to be harder than previously thought, but he wasn't worried.
