A little over two years has passed since the "disappearance" of Sora. During that time Goku and the Z warriors have already made their encounter with the androids and met the monster named Cell. Throughout the two years Goku obeyed Sora's wishes of not seeking out for her and with that Chi-Chi allowed him to come back home. They've been getting along since then, but of course as always she was against the fact that Gohan would be training for Cell as well. During the training up on the Lookout, Vegeta and Trunks finished their time in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Then a sudden burst of energy caught the groups attention especially Vegeta's.
"It's Cell!" Vegeta powered up his energy and shot straight for the source.
"Father wait!" Trunks followed right behind him.
The other warriors stayed put as they were trying to really see if it was Cell or not.
"Something's not right, why would Cell be so close by" Piccolo inquired
"…." Goku stared out into the distance; wondering if was "her".
The saiyan had high doubts, yet at the same time he had high hopes.
When Vegeta came to a plain not to far from the Lookout, he noticed a long white-haired individual, dressed in tribal feminine attire to cover her bosom and her hips on down in a brown leather material. She also had tribal tattoos and what seems to be a white fur sash around her waist. She seemed to be burying a very colossal animal carcass, once she finished; she placed her hands together and chanted a small prayer towards the dead animal.
"This is what that power lead me to?! Tch, pathetic"
When Trunks caught up to his father and glanced down at the woman he noticed something very unusual about her.
"Hey… isn't that…"
When the woman turned around to face the two saiyans her left eye displayed to be a deep sapphire and the right to be a wild yellow just like a crazed wolf. Finally Vegeta and Trunks noticed the unmistakably large white wolf ears on her head.
"SORA!" Trunks flew down to greet to her.
"Wow Sora I can't believe it's you! It's been a while"
Sora smiled sweetly" Yes, yes it certainly has"
"Hey mongrel!" Vegeta called down to her.
Sora glared up at him.
"Was that YOUR power I felt a moment ago?"
"…And what if it was?"
"Hm? It seems you've gotten pretty cocky now haven't you?"
"No" Sora flew up towards him.
"My mannerisms change due to who I speak to, so I suppose that YOU are the one who has gotten arrogant Vegeta… It shouldn't surprise me though"
"Hmph, why am I even wasting my time looking at you, I have someone lower than you that needs to be dealt with"
"Is it that energy that I've been sensing here and there towards the cities?"
"You haven't heard about Cell yet?!" Trunks flew up next to Sora.
"Cell?" Sora tilted her head.
"If you've been sensing a massive energy building up lately, that's Cell, the monster that's been devouring humans for energy to live and so far he's gotten even stronger since then-"
"That's why I am the only one that's going to defeat Cell boy! Not Kakarot or anyone else is going to stand in my way!" Vegeta boasted
"I see…" Sora placed the knuckle of her index finger to her chin as she observed Vegeta for a moment.
"Hm… Vegeta, I wish to spar with you"
"Are you asking for a death wish mongrel?! And I've told you I have someone as sorry as you to deal with-"
"Now if I'm so "sorry" as you say I am why won't you show me what you're made of, I know you've been training Vegeta and so have I, besides I believe the "prince of all saiyans" could use a bit of a warm up before going off to fight this man-eating monster you call Cell"
"Sora…" Trunks looked over at her.
"HA! I suppose death is certainly in your favor" Vegeta placed himself in fighting stance.
Sora did the same with no hesitation.
Trunks took a moment to glide away from the two. He mostly had his eyes on Sora.
"…Sora… she's different some how… she's not that timid or hesitant as she was before…"
A moment passed by as the two differenced races were at a face off.
Swiftly, Vegeta made his first move, vanishing then reappearing in front of Sora to land a solid punch at her; she dodged the attack then came a barrage of blows that were transferred between one another that made the ground beneath them violently shake. Blasts were exchanged, and the more blows that were swapped between them, the less it seemed to becoming a sparring matching between them, but more like an onslaught. Sora firmly showed the arrogant saiyan her style of fighting; she was a bit more ruthless, mostly likely because she was facing against someone who was just that. She grabbed Vegeta by his leg and slammed him face first into the ground making a massive crack in the earth, dragging him then throwing him into a far away mountain, when he collided with it, the massive mountain crumbled. A very brief moment passed by until Vegeta shot out of the rubble, darted his way towards Sora, grabbed her by her throat, then slammed her into the ground, this time Vegeta made his crater visible. When the dirt cleared, Sora laid in the rubble unfazed as she glared up at the saiyan with piercing eyes.
"Stay in the dirt beneath my feet where you belong mongrel!"
Sora continued to glare at him from a distance.
She unexpectedly rushed right in front of the saiyan without a moments notice, and gave him a solid jaw shattering punch to the face, he staggered back and exchanged a kick to the side of her torso, she caught his leg and presented a grapple throw, sending him flying. Vegeta stopped in mid air.
"THAT'S IT!" Vegeta started to power up.
"I'm tired of playing these games with you! It's time to end this!" His power started to increase dramatically as his energy continued to build.
However, it was strange to see that Sora was yet again unfazed.
"RAAAAAHHHH!" Vegeta finally transformed into a super saiyan.
"Now witness what true strength really is!"
Vegeta charged at her giving her a vigorous kick to the abdomen. Sora slumped over due to the attack; Vegeta smirked at what seemed to be like her pain. Sora firmly grabbed Vegeta's leg and slowly lifted her head, as she glared at Vegeta, he formed sweat on the side of his face, annoyed and agitated that she was in a nonchalant state.
*No way! * Trunks thought to himself.
"Well Vegeta… you HAVE gotten stronger, however, I have to postpone our sparring match for this evening" She erected herself from her slumped position.
"I sense a pair of eyes among us…whom should not be here with us…" She looked down towards the forest and observed a very small little girl hiding behind a tree.
"And another whom seems to be on his way here" Sora then looked towards the distance in the direction of the Korin tower.
Vegeta observed in the same direction
"Kakarot"
The half-breed then vanished; reappearing behind the little girl.
"I must bid you both farewell, it was really nice seeing you two again, tell everyone I said hello" She wrapped her tail around the little girl.
"Until we meet again" Those were her last words as she disappeared into the darkness of the forest.
Just as she disappeared, Goku and the others appeared before Vegeta and Trunks.
"What happened?! What was that power just now?" Tien was a tad bit surprised.
"KAKAROT!" Vegeta gripped Goku by his shirt.
"What have you been teaching that mongrel huh?! I DEMAND ANSWERS!"
"So… you did see her" Goku smirked.
"I SAID ANSWER ME DAMMIT!"
"Vegeta… even though it's hard to believe but I haven't trained with Sora in over two years"
"Tch, fine! If you need me, I'll be the one finishing off Cell" Vegeta rushed off into the distance.
Trunks ascended to meet with the others.
"Goku, I'm… somewhat curious too… She's become so different now… like she's… she's preparing for something. Her speed and her power when she fought my father were amazing, her technique was absolutely flawless and with every ruthless blow that he gave her… she was just… I don't know… it was like she didn't feel anything at all"
"I see… so she has been training a lot" Goku stated.
"Hey! If she's gotten so strong then why don't we ask her to help defeat Cell!" Krillin suggested.
"I can't do that" Goku spewed out.
"W-Why not?"
"… I already made a promise to her… I promised myself I wouldn't break that promise-"
"Goku, I believe in this situation a promise CAN be broken, if what Trunks said is true about not being over thrown by a super saiyan then I really think that we should ask for her help" Krillin snapped back.
"…Everything is going to be okay, I know she'll definitely come back soon, now that Trunks and Vegeta ran into her" Goku smiled.
"Goku… W-What if it's too late?"
"Trust me, everything will be okay, Sora will come when the time is right"
"…"
"I'm going to go find my father, knowing him he already probably found Cell"
"Be careful Trunks" Goku said as he and they other parted ways with Trunks.
Sora entered a village with huts and villagers with tribal features. The little girl Sora had wrapped around her tail had shoulder length hair that pretty much went in every direction, her ends were black and the rest of her hair was white. Her eyes were yellow just like Sora's left eye; she displayed big black and white furry ears on her head, but yet had no tail. The little girl wore a dress that was made from the tribe that they were in, she wore no shoes and she held a small little rag doll with her that had black spiky hair and a blue sash around its waist.
"Raoku, what have a told you about leaving the village?" Sora spoke down to the girl. Even though Sora's voice was very timid, it still had an authorized flare towards the little girl.
"I'm sorry Ms. Moh but I had to get you because… my dolls eye is missing"
"Hehe, I'll fix that for you Raoku" Sora chuckled.
"Moh!" A young tribal woman with long black hair and dark eyes greeted both Sora and Raoku.
"Moh, I'm glad you made it back from your trip safely"
"Yes, but unfortunately I was unable to retrieve that massive boar today, it was carrying an unknown illness that I couldn't cure myself, it was suffering from it so I had to put it out of it's misery, my apologizes Choula"
"It's okay, we still have that fish you caught yesterday for the whole tribe to eat"
"That's good to hear" She smiled.
"Ms. Moh, may I go play now?" Raoku asked.
"Of course" Sora answered.
Raoku happily trotted along to meet with the other village children.
Just as Sora was about to walk in the same direction Choula's voice chimed in her ear.
"Moh"
"Hm?" Sora turned around.
"I-I've been wondering about something lately…"
"What's that?"
"It's… well… you and Raoku have been here for quite some time now…but yet, she still does not know who here mother is"
"…"
"Please Moh, when will you tell her?"
"Choula… her mother… has been dead for some time now-"
"Do not say that! I believe it's time for you to tell her the truth rather than just acting like a babysitter!"
"…Choula…"
"The little one deserves to know who her mother is Moh…"
"…."
"I…I remember when you stumbled into our lives… You AND Raoku…You were… You were laying there in the cold wet dirt, blood all over your mouth, and with Raoku on the verge of being conceived… luckily me and my people found you so you could have Raoku safely"
"Yes… and I've been in your debt ever since that day"
"And you've shown a great deal of worth to our village… but Moh, ever since you brought her into this world… you've been treating her like she's not fully yours…Ever since that day I met you, I felt that something was missing from you, and you just seemed so lost"
"…"
"Moh… whatever it is, you either have to fix it or get over it-"
"Choula"
The young girl flinched a little by her voice, even though it was timid, she spoke firmly.
"..."
"Do you… wish to tell me… what happened?"
"…"
"We're nothing but family now Moh, you should know that by now" She giggled.
Sora fully turned to her and gave her a soft smile.
They both sat next to a nearby tree, yet away from open ears as the spoke amongst each other.
"So… this Goku person… he's Raoku's-"
"Yes… we were both a bit naïve of what our actions were, however, he's the one that did it all to save me from the grasp of Leon"
"Moh, then he definitely deserves nothing but to see his own child! Don't you agree-"
"Y-Yes, yet… I've been having this… certain urge not to…"
"… Is it fear that's consuming you Moh?"
"…"
"Listen… Raoku is nothing but a loving free spirited child, just like her mother, and just like her mother… all she wants is to be accepted and loved, which all children do deserve"
Sora cut her eye over at Choula, making a soft smile, then finally taking a deep breath and exhaled.
"It's been sometime now since the last time I encountered Goku" She chuckled.
"Hopefully it will be a pleasant reunion" Sora smiled towards the skies.
A couple days later Sora started to spend her nights up on the highest mountain, yet still listened out for the village below.
She would sit there alone in deep thought about the future ahead of her and what maybe to come; until a familiar scent came across her path.
"No… I-It can't be"
She stood up slowly as the scent grew stronger.
"My My, You couldn't pick anywhere higher to climb Sora?" The young male half-breed chuckled.
"Brother..."
"Now Sora don't be so surprised to see me, hmph… however, it's nice to see you too my little sister"
"What are you doing here?!" She yelled as she threw a rock at him.
"You know exactly what will happen if you-"
"I know… and I'm prepared for that" Dante replied.
"Brother…"
As she grit her teeth and clenched her fist she yelled once more:
"Go back! Go back right now, I do not wish to see you! Leave me alo-"
"I've been dreaming about mother lately"
"…"
"I believe she's telling us to come be together" Dante stated.
Sora stood silent.
"… Somethings coming Sora… something big, I don't know what exactly, however, of course you already know that our village hasn't been the same since you left"
"…"
"Father… he's been-"
"Don't!... Just don't"
"…"
"I don't want to hear about him anymore… he caused me nothing but suffering to our village, the women and children that have done nothing wrong are in fear because of him! You've seen things… many things after my departure haven't you?"
A moment of silence fell upon them.
"Sora, our father is sick"
"W-What?! "
"… Leon has been taking over since his illness"
"Why can't you take over? "
"Hmm… In a way I am however, I've been on the hunt with the males in order to give the village food but it seems that most of the prey have fled from the our surface area, so it takes us awhile to find our prey. Father has been stressing himself out so much that his illness still stands"
"Brother… do you believe this is all Leon's doing? "
"I'm not for sure, I do not wish to make assumptions"
Sora took a deep inhale, then finally exhaled, plopping herself down on the mountain top staring off into the distance.
Dante sat right next to her and placed her head on his shoulder.
"You know" he laughed.
"I haven't held you like this in years Sora"
Sora slowly started to wrap her arms around her brother, slowly building up tears.
Dante gently held her back while petting her head.
"There there now little one" Dante chuckled.
"That's what mother use to do to calm us down when we were sad or upset about something remember? Everything is going to be alright Sora… I know a chance is coming, good or bad we'll make it through all of this… Besides, mother would be upset if she knew that we weren't making things better in the worst situations, we can do this together Sora, and no matter what I'll always love you"
Sora began to sob out heavy tears.
For the first time in many years the two held each other, at that moment it felt like their mother was back to comfort them and bring them back together.
As the sun rises above the horizon, Sora cracked open her eyes, she looked up to see her brother looking towards the skies.
"Brother… "
"Sora… " He smiled.
"If you're going to be worried about me when I return to the village then don't … I'll be fine my dear sister, besides I'm the son of Lord Kiba himself" He grinned.
"Hmph… Always full of yourself dear brother" she snickered.
As the two siblings watched the sun rise together, they felt a sudden nostalgic feeling come over them, for once a slight moment of peace.
The two got up and stretched, they casually talked for a moment.
"Hey! One of these days I want to see my niece"
"H-How did you-"
"Remember, males can wander anywhere upon the surface and-"
" YOU SAW US?! " Sora squeaked as her face turned beet red.
"NO! That's fowl! " His face turn into a slight blush.
"While you were away hunting, your little one wandered off close to the woods of our territory, luckily I spotted her first before anyone else did. Her scent is just like yours, and I noticed the saiyans as well. I guided her back to the outskirts of the village where she came from, then a young woman found her and took her back in"
"…Choula? "
"Choula? Is that her name? Hehe, remind me to introduce myself to her next time around"
Sora gave a smug look towards her brother. It took him a moment to realize that she was glaring at him. Dante finally turned to his sibling and flinched at the sight of her glare.
"What about Fiori? " She clenched her fist.
"Now now, calm down my lovely sister, hehe, she will always have a special place in my heart"
"Brother… "
Dante gave Sora a cheerful smile as he patted her head.
"I am not a child brother" She shooed away his hand.
Finally he gave her a soft smile, rather odd yet warm in a way.
" Don't you worry Sora, I will protect you, Fiori, and my precious niece"
Sora looked up at him like a small child would to their parents.
Dante gently kissed her forehead, and gave her a loving embrace. He gave a long yet steady inhale, then finally exhaled.
"Everything will be alright, don't you fret my dear sister"
"…Brother…. " Silent tears started to well up in her eyes.
Dante slowly released her, swiftly turning around, down to the mountain. Abruptly Sora grabbed his wrist. He turned to face her; he saw solid tears streaming down her face.
"You'll die… " she hicked.
"…"
"You… You know that don't you? That's why you're being so kind to me"
"…"
"Brother please! Just come stay with me in the village, come and live a new life from all the troublesome worries from our home, we can-"
" I can't run away… and I refuse to run away"
"…"
"I have to do what I can to protect our village Sora… I refuse to run away from these problems that I know in my heart that I can make right again. Mother has shown me many things in my dreams… I know things will be right again once more"
Sora continued to sob.
""Hmph, besides, I don't think you realize who you're talking to " stating as he wiped away her tears.
"I am Master Dante, heir to Lord Kiba! We are strong and we shall overcome any obstacles that stand in our way! I assure you… my dear sister"
"I promise we'll meet again, and finally be at peace and be happy once more" When that was said Dante leaped off into the distance.
"Oh! Before I forget, please tell Goku that I said "HELLO!"" He shouted as he glided down the rocks below. Lastly, he saluted to her with a bright smile as she reached out for him. Continuous tears streamed down her face.
Sora gazed down upon her only sibling as he leaped off into the distance.
"Hmph… Now I definitely have no choice but to see Goku, I have to relay my brothers message to him"
As Dante snuck his way into the forest, he made sure that he would avoid every villager on the surface and down below. Once he made his way inside his home Fiori greeted him.
"Master Dante! I'm glad that you came home safe-" she then stopped through her sentence, sniffing the air around him.
"Master…"
Dante looked away from her like a child who has done wrong.
"Master! You'll die! YOU'LL DIE! YOU'LL DIE! " She cried as she hit his chest.
Dante caught her wrist and gripped it firmly, but not enough to hurt her.
"HUSH WOMAN! " He snarled.
Dante released his grip as Fiori silently wept tears.
Dante took the knuckle of his index finger and lifted her head up to look at him.
"Everything is going to be just fine Fiori…"
Fiori buried her face into his chest.
"I already told my sister that we will be happy and I meant that"
A silent moment passed by.
Fiori took a couple steps back and began to strip.
"…Fiori… "
Until she was bare she stated these words to him:
"My Master… I wish to give myself to you… to… to save you. I don't want to see you die" she hicked as she wiped her tears away.
"…Are you a virgin? "
"Y-Yes"
"You know what will happen don't you?... You will be mine for as long as I live… If I decide to have a wife, you have no say so whatsoever, do you understand that? "
"Yes sir… I understand" Fiori looked down to the floor in sadness.
Dante walked up the her and cupped her jaw.
" I care for you a great deal Fiori, I don't want you to sacrifice your innocences on my behalf"
"I understand… I would like for you to be happy, no matter what decision you make, and I want you to especially be happy with my Mistress"
Dante let out a deep sigh.
"Please, if you ever reconsider me upon entry of your body… let me know, and if you experience pain, just know that in wasn't intentional" Dante kissed her forehead.
He held her hand as they walked into the bedroom. He gently laid her down onto the bed. Fiori's flushed cheeks made Dante show off a soft smile towards her. Her eyes displayed beads of tears. They kissed each other passionately for a moment, until Fiori felt a sudden pain. Their bodies intertwined with each others, taking the scent of Sora's to be overlapped by Fiori, giving up her body in exchange to replace the deadly scent that could have gotten him killed.
After Vegetas defeat against Cell and his announcement to have a tournament that would be shown live on the news within the next 10 days, Goku decided to relax, and have a few days of peace while he could, along with his son. With Gohan finally becoming a super saiyan for the first time and to actually control his power, they both practiced to remain super saiyans throughout the days of peace.
Within the 10 days of peace Krillin, Goku, and Gohan decided to relax close to a nearby lake. As Goku laid between Gohan and Krillin, Krillin began to wonder how powerful Goku actually was at his current state as a super saiyan. To test his theory, Krillin decided to pick up a nearby rock and chucked it at Gokus head.
Of course, Krillins assumptions were terribly wrong.
"OUCH! Jeez Krillin, what the heck was that for?! "
"Oops! H-Hehe sorry Goku, I-I thought you could of… you know, dodged that one or something"
Just as Goku was about to offer up a rebuttal, there spoke a soft sweet voice coming from behind them.
"Shame on you Goku, at this current state even in a time of peace you should always have your guard up" She smiled.
As the group whipped their head towards the voice Gohans face lit up with such happiness and bliss. He shot up and as he ran he shouted:
" SORA! SORA! " Gohan tackled her down to the ground, wrapping his around her waist and hiring his face into her chest.
"Sora! Sora! Where did you go? Where did you gooo? " His eyes filled up with tears
"There there now little one, my deepest apologies for being away for so long" She stroked his head.
"No way! You're back! " Krillin announced, he jumped up and went to greet her.
Finally, Goku slowly stood up, gawking over at her like he's seen something extraordinary.
"By how've you grown, however, you will always be my little one" She said as she got up smiling down at Gohan. She cuddled the boy.
"Not only have you changed in your demeanor, but your power is absolutely amazing as well! "
" Yeah! Dad and I were training in this place called the Hyperbolic Time Chamber; a whole hour becomes a year there! " Cohan informed..
"? How? "
"Hehe, don't worry Sora we'll explain it more in detail later" Krillin laughed.
Goku, standing just a couple feet away continued to stare at Sora.. " What's the matter Goku? It looks like you've seen a ghost or something" Krillin said.
Sora then slowly walked towards Goku, finally standing in front of him she gently stroked the side of his face.
" It's… really nice to-" She was then tugged hard by her wrist; followed by a strong yet loving embrace.
"Please… don't leave me like that again" The pure hearted saiyan buried his face into her neck. As he quickly popped his head back up he stated:
". At least say bye to me in person first" He laughed.
Sora giggled along, and then gradually her eyes began to swell with tears.
Soda laid her head onto Gokus shoulder and began to sob.
"I'm the one who should be crying Sora" Goku held her.
A moment passed by, through the consoling and the reunion, Sora calmed her tears and finally had the courage to ask Goku this one question in front of the others.
"Goku"
"Hm? "
"Will you come with me? I want you to meet someone, she's been longing to see you for quite some time now, hehe you can say that she's a very big fan of yours "
"I have a fan? "
Sora nodded.
She turned to Gohan and Krillin.
"Please, don't hesitate to join us" Sora held Gokus hand and started to glide towards the skies. Krillin and Gohan both looked at each other in a sort of confusion, yet they followed.
"Oh, and by the way, my brother wishes to tell you "HELLO""
