Long after the girl had left, Cell resumed his spot in the middle of the ring. He meditated, but one thought plagued his mind. Why had he not killed the human? He could have easily disposed of her with a flick of his finger. Then again, where would be the fun in that? After he had control over this puny planet would he then start to enjoy himself on matter like such.
Smirking into the rising sun, he was getting closer to the day he longed for.
"Meow?"
An inaudible groan was the response.
"Meow..?"
With hair as wild as a banshee, Alyssa sat up right in bed, sheets scattering around her. Her eye twitched, yet again the maddening cat stared bored.
A vein on her forehead twitched. "First you make me search for you JUST as it gets dark out. Then WHAM! I run into some alien creeper only to have you use me as a scratching post!"
He stared.
Sweat dropping, the teen pinched the bridge of her nose. "And here I am talking to my cat." Shaking her head, she rose and went to the kitchen, a certain feline eagerly following awaiting its break feast.
She cracked open a can of food and sighed, staring him down. 'Some love…' she glanced at the long scab like scratched down her neck but granted its wish for the moment.
She stared at nothing in particular for a few minutes, wondering just what exactly had happened last night.
"Cell…" she repeated the name, earning an odd look from Mud.
Smiling, she placed on her jacket and went to the door. "I never did get to see him..."
Mud looked at her again oddly as if saying it wasn't a good idea. Nonetheless, she skipped merrily out the door; fully determined to see what this Cell looked like.
Puzzled, she turned another mountain only to see…another mountain. "Darn…" After a long walk to the next she turned, only seeing another mountain. "Darn!" She was positive after turning from one of these mountains last night that that was when she encountered him. Maybe it was the one to her right…? On the verge of losing patience, she rounded it finding the same result.
"…..DARNIT!"
She huffed and plopped on the ground rear first with an 'oomph'. It had been about an hour since she started looking, right? She groaned shaking her head, thinking was using to many brain cells for the moment.
When she sat up, she did a double retake of beyond her. 'What is that…?' She squinted her eyes, which barely improved her wonderful 20/20 vision. Was that…a post? No…a man?
Blinking her eyes she stood. "Knew I shoulda brought my glasses." She scolded. The only way to figure out what that thing was, was to go to it herself.
Once at a see able distance the girl gasped. "No way…"
He was tall…scratch that –FREAKIN tall! He had to be like seven foot. His back was towards her…or so she thought. But why is he green? Alyssa tilted her head like a lost puppy? 'Maybe I could go ask him? But…' the thought of what he said before struck her 'he was so harsh. I wonder why…' She smiled. 'Only one way to find out.'
Cell sighed to himself. Must he physically teach that girl a lesson to beat it? His eyes glanced to the side, not even bothering to face her.
"What?" he asked annoyed.
Alyssa stiffened. "How did he here me?" she mumbled, eyes staring perplexed.
That's when he laughed and turned all the way around. "You humans are amusing. Do you honestly think I couldn't hear your little fit of cussing from not finding me?"
Her mouth stood agape, lost for words as her cheeks reddened.
He raised an eyebrow, smirking. "Come now," he stepped forward and crossed his arms "staring again are we?
"I-..uhm..."
Cell shook his head and looked to the sky. There were more problems to humans than he imagined.
"What are you?" She asked suddenly, snapping him out of his thoughts.
He smiled smugly down at her. "Why, I am perfection itself. An android created by Dr. Gero himself, made of the cells of the strongest warriors from across the galaxy. To ultimately take over this planet." He finished with a proud look.
Alyssa stood there with a what-are-you-talking-about face. "So," she began and tapped her chin "you're an alien?"
Cell nearly fell over at the ludicrous question. His eyes narrowed. "In a sense, perhaps. But in simpler terms, as you humans call it I was 'born' on this planet. Now does that answer all of your questions?"
He mentally smacked himself as she started tapping her chin again. "What are you doing out here?"
Cell remained silent for a minute, studying this girl. What was her intent on questioning him so? After all, not many humans dared make eye contact with him, much less come near.
"I see not why I have to answer to you human. But I suppose I could before your impending doom." He smiled sadistically. "I have made a tournament for when I battle Son Goku in approximately eight days. After his defeat I shall rule this planet as well as its miserable inhabitants."
She stared at the menace, not scared, but intrigued. "Ok!" she smiled and turned. Now that she had her answers what was the point of more akward silence? If she had questions she would just come back later! Simple.
As for Cell, he was baffled. This human talks to him like she was perfectly safe! Then she turns and leaves as if nothing happened! How dare she simply question him and do that? Well now he had questions for her.
Frowning, he gathered some energy into his hand. And now he was going to call the shots.
