She slowly reached up for his head then suddenly brought her lips to his.

His eyes widened in surprise from the kiss. The instant he let her go from the surprise, she was already gone; leaving him to process everything that had just happened.

He had NEVER expected her to make such an action.

His eyes were still wide in surprise. His body had not moved an inch. His arm was still in the position it had been when he was squeezing away at her ankle.

A smirk formed on his face as he processed things in his head. His arms were back at his sides when he glanced up at the sky.

"Interesting, very interesting" he chuckled. "So it seems our game has moved up a level."

And so he took off to the skies, in search of a location to hold his tournament.

"AAHHHHHH!" Dani wailed as she flew as fast as she could towards Kame House.

'I kissed him! OH MY GAWD, I KISSED HIM!' she screamed in her head.

She flew down slightly above the water and scooped some up with her hand, not stopping in her flight. She rinsed her mouth, spit the water out, and continued the little cycle for about three more times.

She just still couldn't believe it. But she had no other choice! He would have snapped her ankle! That bastard! He could have snapped her ankle from the very beginning; he just wanted to see the pain etched on her face! And yet despite all of that. . . she couldn't get the image of his perfect form out of her head.

He looked much more humanoid than he did in his previous form, for now he had a fully formed nose and mouth. He was smaller and less bulky than his previous form but still larger than his first form. She noticed that his wings had grown back and were colored black with a purple hue, along with his shoulders, chest, and lower legs. The orange line that went to his chin and to both sides of his ears was now yellow. His skin was a ethereal ivory color, and his face. . . oh his face. He had purple markings around his eyes running down his cheeks to his strong jaw line. But what got her attention the most were his eyes- those hot pink colored eyes. . .

She shook her head, trying to clear her mind from all of that.

"Oh my god, I've must have been hit harder in the head than I first imagined," she groaned.

She finally touched on the shores of the small island and headed inside. It was completely quiet. Was no one home? She called out and still got no response. That's when Turtle, from the doorway, told her that everyone had gone to Capsule Corp. She needed some time to regain her strength so she decided to not leave just yet but rather relax a bit to calm her thoughts down.

She sat down on the cushioned seating and before she knew it, she was lying down for a much needed nap. A while later, she slowly came to; feeling much better than before yet still drained and injured. She sat up and reached for the remote that was on the low table and began flipping through the channels. There was absolutely nothing to watch. She continued flipping through the channels until she saw something very disturbing. She blinked then flipped it back to the previous channel.

It was Cell! Was he- was he at the TV station? Dani flipped the channel accordingly as he moved up from studio to studio until he finally reached the news broadcasting station. She clenched her fists, helplessly, as he killed the anchorman with a simple flick of his finger and made an announcement. She stared at the TV screen in shock at what he was saying. What? A tournament? The Cell Games? In ten days? Now he was just full of himself. He wanted to challenge the Earth's greatest fighters just so he could test the limit of his new power. If no one managed to defeat him then he would exterminate all life on Earth and enjoy seeing the people's terrified faces in the process. That monster!

She could feel her anger rising as she tightly gripped the remote control. He had just destroyed a large section of the city with a simple blast! She was just about to turn the TV set off when-

"Oh, one last thing before I'm on my way," Cell smirked, "Dani, if you could be so kind as to make your way to me within the next twelve hours. Otherwise, I'll have to find you myself," he finished in a dark voice.

Her eyes were wide as she turned the TV off. She set the remote back down on the low table before she broke it in her rising anger.

"Damn it," she gritted out. "Everyone else gets ten days while I don't even get one!" she exclaimed as she stood up. Twelve hours? He had lost his mind.

"W-where are you going?" Turtle asked as he blocked her from leaving.

"Out to the city," she replied with a serious look in her eyes.

"B-but you're injured."

"This is nothing. Now please, move."

"Are you going to confront Cell?"

Her eyes softened as she sighed and raked a hand through her long, dark hair. "Honestly, I don't know."

Turtle knew there was nothing he could do to stop the Saiyan. But at the most he could give her something that would help her in the least.

"Please, follow me," he said as he made his way inside Kame House with Dani right behind him. He stopped next to a counter and pointed up at the cupboards. "At the very back of that cupboard you'll find two small beans that will restore your energy and health if you eat just one. Please eat one and take the other with you."

She cautiously glanced down at him then reached up and patted around until she felt two small bean-like objects.

"Is this it?" she showed him the small beans to which he nodded. So if she ate one, her energy and health would be restored and she would be good as new? Well, what else did she have to lose? She chewed then swallowed the bean and almost immediately she could feel her power rise and go back to normal. She felt great!

"What was that?" she asked, tucking the other bean away.

"It's called a Senzu Bean."

"A Senzu Bean huh? Why did that old man have it hiding in the back?" she questioned.

"He kept it there just in case a time ever arose in which he would join or be needed in battle. But I'm afraid my old friend is way past his prime," Turtle chuckled lightly.

"Thank you, though," she said with smile, crouching down slightly to pet his head. "I'll be on my way now."

Turtle watched as she left the house and flew off.

The Z fighters stared at the TV screen in shock at Cell's announcement of the Cell Games. They were also in shock from his last little bit before he left.

"What happened to Dani?" Krillin uttered.

"After my fight with Cell, before you and my father had arrived, I tried to sense and locate her but I couldn't. I even searched around the islands but nothing," Trunks explained.

"You don't think she died?" Krillin questioned worriedly.

"No. During my fight with Cell, I sensed something out in the distance on a nearby island that felt a lot like her. I just hope she's alright."

"Just why in the world would Cell be interested in some human female?" Vegeta question haughtily, approaching the group.

"She just so happens to be a Saiyan, Vegeta," Yamcha replied in contempt at the Saiyan Prince.

"What?" Vegeta's eyes widened. Trunks nodded when Vegeta looked in his direction. "But how can this be?"

"We don't know ourselves Vegeta," Krillin spoke up, "but all we know is that she is a Saiyan, and she even has the tail to prove it."

Could it be true? Could there really be another full-blooded Saiyan on Earth?

He merely walked away from the group, seemingly letting the issue go. If they had ten days then he would waste no time just sitting around doing nothing. He stated that he was going to go train, with Trunks following suit right behind him.

"I really hope Dani is alright," Krillin said softly.

"Hey bro, we all do," Yamcha assured, placing a reassuring hand on Krillin's shoulder.

All thinking of what exactly Cell had planned. . .

Cell stood in the center of his newly constructed ring with his eyes closed and arms crosses over his chest. He was wondering if he'd have to look for Dani or not. He could honestly say that he wasn't sure what it would come to. Yet, either way, the result would be the same.

He had given her twelve hours. Only a couple had passed and he was already feeling bored and impatient which surprised him slightly. He had waited so long to achieve perfection so he knew patience, yet for some reason, right now he couldn't wait. Twelve hours. If she didn't show up by the end of those twelve hours, he would go out and find her. Well, he never said that he wouldn't try and draw her out. Perhaps that would kill some time, terrorizing your way around the planet all the while luring out a Saiyan. It would all be completely fair for he technically wouldn't be searching for her, he'd just be killing time by having his own fun; and if he just so happened to run into her, ah, well what a pleasure that would be.

Dani looked down at the people of the city from atop a rooftop as they all scrambled to leave the city. Heh, the whole world saw that broadcast. Of course everyone would be terrified. Barely one day in his perfect form and Cell had already managed to put the entire planet's population into frenzy. They all looked like little ants as they scrambled around. She thought it was foolish though, the way they thought they'd be better off in the countryside and away from the city when in truth, no place was safe for them.

"Meh," she groaned spitefully. At least they had ten days where she didn't even have one. She had less then twelve hours now. Great. She tapped her chin in thought, thinking what she could possibly do if these were going to be her last few hours alive. Oh! She had an idea!

She glanced back down and decided to stick to the air seeing as how she didn't want to get ran over by all of those crazy people.

A few hours later. . .

"We love you Dani!" the entire drunk bar called out as Dani walked out after some nice long hours of drinking.

"I love you guys too!" she called back at them as she waved goodbye.

Ha, who would have thought that the people who stayed behind were the ones that thought Cell was nothing but a big hoax. The funnier thing was, who wouldn't think to find them at a bar enjoying their 'last days to live'. It was all quite interesting though, having a bunch of drunken people explain to you why they thought Cell was nothing but a fake. She wasn't drunk but rather slightly buzzed. She could never get drunk and she now knew that it was because of her Saiyan genes that could support the alcohol.

Now, what else to do? She glanced up at the changing sky and couldn't believe it was already the evening and almost night time. She also took a deep breath through her nose and realized that she reeked of booze, dirt, sweat, blood, and self pity. . . that was the last time she broke up a bar fight.

A spa sounded great and she figured that it would be completely empty seeing as how all the cars were now stuck in the interstate traffic leaving the city and that the city itself was completely abandoned. Her thoughts were proven correct when she landed in front of the spa and went right in. Fools, they didn't even bother locking anything. Everyone just got up and left, fearing for their lives. Well that was a good thing for her because that meant that everything was fully functional and all she had to do was to get her little self in that hot tub.

"I need to hurry before my buzz wears off," she mused as she made her way straight to the dressing rooms. She stripped off her clothes in the changing area and changed into one of the robes figuring she'd end up getting rid of it after her shower and settle on a simple towel. She set her clothes on the small bench planning on washing them once she was done, then headed over to the next room to the showers to clean herself then over to the awaiting hot tub to relax. Lucky for her there was a cart that had wine on it. And it was unopened! Sweetness!

She sank down into the water, feeling her muscles relax completely. Ah, yes, this was quite a way to enjoy oneself. . .

Ah how he enjoyed seeing the looks of fear and panic come across the people when they saw him coming! Such a delightful feeling it was!

Everyone seemed to be in a hurry to leave the cities. Hmm, he wondered why. Such foolish creatures. No matter where they fled, he would kill them all!

He touch down on the city street, and just like all of the other cities he had been to, it was completely empty. He let out a laugh, content with the fear he had instilled upon the entire population within one day.

Just as he was about to fly away, he felt a familiar presence that made a large evil grin appear on his face. What were the odds of this happening? He thought amusedly. He tracked her down to some human grooming center. He quietly walked in, wanting to see the look of fear, or shock, or surprise, or maybe all, on her face when she saw him. He entered what appeared to be changing room when he noticed her clothes on the bench. His grin broadened. Ah, so she was here. Perfect.

He followed the heat and steam until he reached a door which led to the room that appeared to be the source of all of the heat. He slid it open loudly and stood at the doorway with his arms crossed over his chest with a big smirk on his face. Her back was to him but he could clearly see her stiffen and freeze.

"Ah, so there you are my dear."
