A Warriors Resolve

The wind howled through the city and blew a white shower of frozen snow through the air. Lazily the flakes drifted down to settle atop her kin. As the snow fell Miria and her 23 claymores were fighting an army of awakened beings. The battle had just begun,but Miria already felt the ceasing of the first of her fellow comrades. The surprise attack of the monsters had taken its toll in the first moments of combat. The battle progressed no better for the next minutes. However, all changed when everyone – Claymores and Awakened alike – felt an unfamiliar energy signature in the air.

The air was pregnated with energy and power alien to Miria and her kin. Their enemy was bewildered alike by this occurance. The battle ceased in an instant of a moment, so great the power was. The next moment green lightning filled an enclosed are in front of the townchurch. Everyone turned to it, awaiting whatever would happen. There was a tense silence until a strange construct filled the room coming from nowhere, but thin air.

"Miria, you see what I see?", Helen asked her leader. Miria only shook her head. Never had she seen anything like this before. A round metall construct standing on four metal arms materialized in front of them. Within a power that Miria could not even fathom. It was tremendous, but nothing like yoma or anything alike. It was pure energy that this "thing" emitted. As the construct opened she realized her mistake. It was not the construct emitting that power, but rather the being that was exiting the construct at this very moment. At first Miria believed it to be another Yoma, but something told her it was something enterily else. Something more sinister and stronger. The beings words ended her toughts.

"To think that that saiyan would push me so hard forcing me to escape through the time pod. Unacceptable."

The being muttered those words more to himself than anything elde, but Miria was able to hear it thanks to her hightened senses.

Now an awakened being went forth to the green skinned alien.

"Are you one of Isleys experiments?" First the being only smirkened in response, but then it acted.

Within a fraction of a second the Awakened had lost its head. Widened eyes never knowing what hit them.

"No challenge at all." The green monster spoke appearing just next to the severed head stepping on it. His look turned to one of the claymores. All present tensed by this.

"Maybe your kin will be able to give me a challenge." That was all the warning he gave the low-digit claymore before slicing both of the tighs clean with an energy blast. Normally fatal to an human she was still barely alive due to her yoma powers.

"Maybe not. Regardless you will all die today." The being spoke to claymores and awakened alike.

"Take her away! Retreat to your designated strongholds in the city!", Miria shouted her orders. While the claymore took off the awakened fought the new arriver. Miria knew that her comrades would have no chance against this being. Even the Abyssals paled compared to the power she felt in that instant when he shot that energy ball right into one of her comrades. The battle turned into a battle royale. Miria chose to change her location as well, but two Awakened chose to rather fight her than the monster, so she was fleeing to a location where her claymore yould trap it. In the back of her head she could feel the Awakend fading one by one.

She turned in to an alley. The awakened still folloing her.

"Now."

4 Claymores appeared on the roofs and sliced the head of both surprised yomas. Miria nodded to the group. As she wanted to give them new orders she was again interrupted by green lightning and a new construct materializing. Despite knowing better she chose to stay.

"Miria. What is this ting?", Flora asked her never leaving her eyes from that thing.

"One of them appeared at the church. The being it was carrying is fighting the Awakened, but after that it will come for us.", Miria told her.

"So thats the power I felt. If only for a faction of a second."

"It was some kind of energy blast that dematerialized Marias thighs." Flora and her squad tensed further.

Jean and Clare joined the group. It was an unspoken conversation between them and Miria.

They eyes turned again to the construct. As the hatch was opening a human stepped out of it. Miria could feel no power whatsoever. His black hair was long and spiked. His bodys was covered by some kind of skintight battle suit. His eyes showed years, decades of experience in the field of war and battle, but Miria knew that he would die within seconds without the superhuman powers to back them up.

"Where is that motherfucking mutant?", he asked them in rage.

"You should leave. This is no place for a human.". Miria tried to warn him. But his eyes only narrowed.

"Human? You think me human?" The next moment he was standing in front of Miria. She did not even see him move. His eyes penetrated her cracking facade. Unconsciously she took a step back. He stepped forward closing the new distant.

"I am the Saiyan prince. Vegeta! And you will tell me where that green magott is!" Vegeta was furious. Of course Cell would power down to escape his chi locating. Rather than Cell he felt a few spikes of strange chi. It seemed he landed in a battle of some kind.

Miria, despite her years of experiance could not even fathom this humans... saiyans aura of authority. Paired with the ability to close a distant of 30m in less than an eye blink she was straight out frightened. Clare and Flora appeared to be cowed the same way for noone tried to say anything. Noone, but Jean. She swung her sword tried to decaptivate Vegeta. Vegeta only lifted on finger to stop the blade. His look was one of rage and amusement alike – if that was even possible.

Jean wanted to tell Jean back, but was again surprised by Vegeta as he stopped the blade with nothing, but a finger.

"My patience is at an ende, woman.", he took the sword and splitted it in half quite to the astonishment of those present.

"Answer or her arm will be next splitting in half.", he took Jeans arm and waited for Miria to finally answer his question. Jean was powerless against his hold. Miria wanted to answer the question but was again interrupted by another voice behind the saiyan.

"That is quite enough, Vegeta. Release her.", with a snot Vegeta did.

"You are too soft, Kakarot. It will be your downfall one day."

"That may be so, but I refuse to do it otherwise." The new man turned to Miria and her comrades now, while Clare supported the now feeble Jean with standing.

"Hi. I am Son Goku. Sorry for the behaviour of my friend.", Son Goku greeted them with his trademark smile.

Miria gulped as she answered.

"Its okay. It was just a misunderstanding. I think I know who you are looking for. He arrived in that same construct as you. He is 500m over there. In the middle of the city. But there are also Awakened there."

Vegeta concentrated his chi in that direction.

"She is right. I can sense a suppressed chi signature." The very next moment Vegeta was gone.

"Vegeta wait!", Son Goku tried to call his comrade back, but failed.

"Okay. I am gonna follow him. Try to get as far as possible from here.", Son Goku warned them about the extent of the coming battle. Miria nodded.

The next moment ten beings of enourmes height arrived in front of them. Clare and the group took their battle stance. Miria wanted to shout orders, but stopped when she saw Son Goku looking up to the monsters unflinched.

"These are the Awakened you mentioned?", he asked them.

"Yes, we are fighting a war against them right now.", Flora answered on Mirias behalve.

"Well its not like I can leave you back like that. First I will take care of them. Then Cell."

Maybe it is not the end for us. Maybe we will see another dawn. Miria thought.
