Chapter 28
"AH!"
Ozora's blood curdling shout echoed throughout the entire island as his tail pierced her upper arm and the pain was excruciating. She wanted to rip her away from the pain but Cell held her tighter than before.
"That's it. Scream your lungs out" Cell said with an evil laugh before he gave one suck of her energy, making her cry out louder. Cell absorbed the first portion and his eyes widened when his body suddenly burst with energy.
Ozora felt him take more of her energy and felt her strength fade away. She gritted her teeth from the terrible pain before she started to power up making Cell laugh.
"The more you power up the more energy you provide me! It's no use in getting out! I'm taking every single drop of your pure energy!" Cell said while laughing maniacally.
"I told you..." Ozora's power exploded again and Cell's brows furrowed while his laughter died down. "I'm not letting anyone take my energy!" Ozora yelled as turquoise sparks appeared around her before hitting Cell as he wanted to absorb more energy.
Cell cried out and was sent crashing into the ground while Ozora dropped onto the ground in a heap, her power once again vanishing. The piercing wound on her arm bled rapidly and Ozora breathed heavy as she tried to stand up.
She came to her knees and clutched her bleeding arm. Her vision was blurry and she didn't know how long she was going to be able to cling to consciousness. She could see Cell stand up, despite her powers attacking him and she gritted her teeth.
"Damn...you..." Ozora rasped before her eyes closed shut and her body went limp. However, she was caught in a pair of arms before she touched the ground and Cell's eyes widened. Ozora barely able to stay awake opened her eyes and felt relief wash over her.
"K-Kakkarot..." She managed to rasp before unconsciousness finally took her and Goku's frown deepened as he lifted her up. "You always want to do everything on your own, Ozora. It's going to get you into a lot of trouble one day" Goku said despite knowing that she couldn't hear him at all.
"Why don't you back off and leave her alone?" Goku snapped as his anger boiled inside his veins. Cell stared at him for a few brief moments before smirking.
"So you're Goku. Well, Goku, it's so nice to meet you" Cell said but Goku's brows were furrowed and he could feel Ozora's energy wavering.
"I'd really like to teach you a lesson, but I need one more day before I'm strong enough to go up against you" Goku said before he gritted his teeth at the male. "And I'll make you pay, Cell! You're days of terrorizing the Earth will be finished for good!" He snapped at the android.
"Here I've always wondered what it would be like to face the Legendary Goku and all you have to say is, 'See you tomorrow?'" Cell laughed at the male. "I never would've paid you as a coward, but don't think I'm letting you take her just like that. I wasn't finished yet" Cell said.
Goku's eyes darkened drastically and his grip on Ozora tightened."I'm not letting you touch her, ever again!" He said and the android smirked evilly before he attacked Goku. Goku vanished from sight and appeared in the sky above Cell before he put two fingers on his head.
He saw Cell throw a blast in his direction but vanished from Cell's sights and he growled. Cell was so close in absorbing Ozora's pure energy. He looked at his hands before a smirked came upon his lips.
Not that it mattered anymore, he had taken more than enough energy from her but she was like a bottomless pit. He was going to have some fun but his first priority would be Andriod 18.
Ozora floated in an abyss of unconsciousness and could vaguely feel her energy around her. She thought that she had lost her energy but her power seemed to still be intact, that was if she wasn't already absorbed by Cell.
"Ozora, eat this" A calm voice told her and she immediately knew who it was. She remembered now. Goku had saved her before Cell could do any further damage. Ozora tasted something bitter in her mouth before her full strength surged through her body.
She coughed at the awful taste before opening her eyes. As soon as her eyes opened up, they met a pair of dark ones and they seemed angry and relieved at the same time.
"Kakkarot?" Goku nodded as she pushed herself up into a sitting position. "You're alright! Thank goodness!" Gohan said kneeling next to her and Ozora smiled at the male.
"Miraculously, yes." Ozora said before her eyes narrowed. "What happened to Cell?" Ozora asked and Gohan frowned. Ozora caught a whiff of the ominous power source from below the earth before scowling.
"That was very stupid, Ozora" Piccolo's voice reached her ears and she looked up at the Namekian before she smirked. "Likewise. At least you're up and running again. I thought I lost you there for a moment" Ozora said and Piccolo smirked back at her.
"Can't get rid of me so easily" He said and Ozora chuckled before seeing the stern look Goku gave her. She let out a sigh and looked at the male waiting for a scolding but only received a sigh.
"You need to learn that you can't just storm off and do things on your own, Ozora. You're going to get in some serious trouble that we won't be able to get you out of" Goku said and Ozora gave the male a reassuring smile.
"Alright then, Kakkarot. I admit fighting Cell was indeed a stupid decision but we managed to buy more time for Vegeta. I won't do it anytime again" Ozora said and stood up while Goku nodded in approval.
"It was crazy how you fought with Cell though, Ozora. You were evenly matched with him for a while there" Tien said and Ozora's face turned stoic while she glanced at her hands.
"Yes, but at the same time, no. He had the advantage from the beginning" Ozora said and Goku watched as her brows twitched. She clenched her fists before they all heard a shout from behind and saw Michio running towards them.
"They're coming out, guys!" He said and everyone's eyes widened. They quickly advanced towards the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and Ozora saw Michio stare at her. She gave him a playful nudge and gave him a warm smile.
"There's nothing to worry about. Let's go see how strong they've become" Ozora said and Michio smirked before nudging her back. "Sure" They walked towards the door of the Chamber before they came to an abrupt stop when they sensed something.
An enormous pressure.
Trunks was the first to emerged with tethered and torn clothing, his hair longer, his face more matured and his power...almost frightening. "Thanks for waiting guys, did we miss anything?" Trunks asked while Michio stared at his partner in disbelief.
"It's good to have you back! Things have gotten worse since you left" Goku said and Ozora's eyes shifted towards Vegeta who closed the door behind him. He didn't look different at all except his torn clothing and his amazing power level.
"Hey! You look like you're in great shape!" Goku said and Trunks smiled at the male while Michio smirked at him. "You actually did it! You were in the Chamber for a whole day! Way to go!" Trunks smirked at the male and they fist bumped.
"I've never known anyone who did that before" Mr. Popo said in shock while Ozora chuckled as she looked at Vegeta. It was obvious that he would spend as much time possible to just train in there.
"We probably could've come out a lot sooner but Father didn't want to leave until he was sure that he had done all he could do. He-""Quiet! You've said quite enough! Our training is not to be discussed! Ever!" Vegeta scolded and Trunks stayed silent.
"You would think that he'd be friendlier after training with Trunks but nothing helps. Disappointment" Ozora said and received a glare from the Saiyan Prince.
"So it worked out, I guess" Goku said with a smirk forming on his lips and Vegeta returned the smirk "Maybe. I will take care of everything now. There's no need to attempt the training, Kakkarot, because I'm sure you would not survive it" Vegeta said and Ozora rolled her eyes.
"Besides, I can assure you that I don't need any of you to take care of the androids." Vegeta said and Tien growled but was stopped by Piccolo. Ozora noticed Michio want to snap at Vegeta but cut him off when she put a hand on his shoulder.
He seemed to instantly relax feeling her touch and her brows furrowed. She was certain of it now. Michio had a grudge against Vegeta of some kind and was on the edge every time Vegeta was involved but she didn't know why.
However, she was going to find out one way or another. She didn't like it when Michio had that angry look in his eyes despite Vegeta always being Vegeta.
"Vegeta, I really suggest that you listen to us. I mean you'll have to triple your strength to stand a chance..." Vegeta laughed and cut Goku's statement off making the male look at him. Ozora's eyes widened and realization hit her.
He actually did it? He ascended?
"Yoohoo! Hellooo?! Hey, where are you guys?!" Bulma's voice called and everyone's attention was drawn towards the newcomer. "Look, it's Bulma!" Gohan said smiling and everyone walked towards the blue haired female holding baby Trunks.
"Bulma, what are you doing here?" Goku asked and she smiled. "You brought some things for all of you, you might need them" Bulma said as Gohan laughed and ran towards baby Trunks who was immediately happy to see him.
"So that's you, huh? The one side adorable and the other side handsome" Ozora told Trunks and he flushed at her statement. Bulma's ears immediately caught Ozora's voice before her eyes widened when sehe saw Trunks.
She was astounded on how big he became and his long his hair grew. It was quite something to see her try to figure out a Saiyan's hair seeing as Vegeta's never change. "For you information a pure Saiyan's hair does not change from the day that he is born" Vegeta informed them and Ozora chuckled.
"Is that really true? Wow, that explains why I never needed a haircut but I wish I could do something about these split ends" Goku said and Ozora sweat dropped along with Michio and Gohan. Goku was truly a strange one.
"I don't have time to listen to Kakkarot's hair problems, but I sure wouldn't mind knowing why you're here!" Vegeta said and Bulma rolled her eyes at the male. She was completely unfazed against his temper.
"Just hold on! You see this fight with Cell's going to be tough so I thought you guys might be able to use some new combat suits. And if you stop being a jerk, Vegeta, maybe you can have one too" Bulma said and Ozora watched in fascination as she clicked a capsule before throwing it on the ground.
Her eyes widened when she saw a large container appear and the two boys next to her could see sparkles in her eyes. "Amazing, this is what a 'capsule' can do?" Ozora asked and Bulma smiled while nodding.
"First time you see it, huh? Well, I've got more here I think I have an empty one to show you how it works too" Bulma said and that was all she needed to say before they started to talk and never seemed to cease one bit.
The male's sweat dropped at the two females as they talked science and Goku laughed while rubbing the back of his head in an innocent gesture.
"Seems Ozora and Bulma enjoy making us feel dumb" He said and the others nodded. He grabbed his new suit and started to fit it on along with Gohan, Trunks, Michio and Vegeta but the rest didn't want to wear them for their own reasons with pride.
"I'm impressed on how much you managed to copy the real materials of the suit, Bulma, even though you didn't have these materials on Earth. If you want I can help you even make the new modern ones that we wore" Ozora said and Bulma's eyes widened.
"That'll be great! Then you can even help me with that tricky device of yours. No matter how much I try, I can't seem to copy the materials at all" Bulma said and Ozora chuckled while pulling on her suit despite all the males present, though they didn't see her completely naked.
They still flushed and looked away, except Vegeta, but Ozora already knew that he wouldn't do it. He didn't mind if people were naked or not, where he stood, he changed and that's how things were.
"That's because the materials I used to make it was very rare but I managed to find it on one of the markets in my journey. I doubt that you'll be able to completely copy them without knowing the specifics" Ozora said and Bulma nodded.
"There's no need for you to wear that, Kakkarot. You won't even get a chance to use it so why even bother putting it on" Vegeta said and Ozora chuckled at the male again. He had such an ego at times and at other times she really wanted to smack him for it.
"Is that because you plan on finishing Cell all by yourself? Well I hope that you can pull it off" Goku said and a tensed atmosphere formed around them. "You want me to take you over there with my instant transmission?"
"Oh please, I don't need any help from you, Kakkarot. So long" Vegeta said before he flew off without another word. "Hey, Trunks, good luck" Michio said when he saw Trunks about to follow Vegeta and his partner grinned.
"Always!" He said before Goku stopped him. "You might need these Senzu beans. I saved these two for you and Vegeta to use" Goku said and Trunks took the Senzu beans before he put them away for them to use later if they needed it.
"Good luck and if you get into any kind of trouble, get yourself out of there, okay?" Goku said and Trunks nodded. With a word of gratitude, Trunks was off and went after Vegeta.
"Great! It's time for us to start our training, Gohan!" Goku said and Gohan nodded, ready for the intense training was lay ahead of them. Gohan started to ran in excitement towards the door but Goku stopped him.
"Wait a minute, Gohan!" Goku said sternly before his stomach growled loudly. "Can we eat first?" Goku asked before everyone burst out laughing at the male. Gohan let his shoulders slump and Ozora gave him a sympathetic smile.
"That's Kakkarot, alright. It'll be better if he ate now before wanting to eat as soon as you enter the Chamber" Ozora said and Gohan laughed lightly. "I guess you're right" He said before they laughed together at the hungry Saiyan.
And was he hungry.
Ozora was amazed once again at how much he could actually eat both her and Gohan gaped at how he just gulped down all the food in a flash. "How can one man eat so much?" Ozora asked and Gohan nodded, barely able to eat his own food at the way Goku was eating.
They finished quickly and Mr. Popo showed them their way to the Chamber. Bulma played with Trunks as he climbed a pillar while Tien, Piccolo and Michio watched it from afar waiting for the others. Bulma came in front of Goku and he stopped.
"Hey, so you're really going through with this?" Bulma asked and they nodded. Ozora watched as little Trunks extended his hand out towards them before Goku shook it and walked past Bulma. "It's your turn now, I hope that you're ready, go on in" Mr. Popo said before he opened the door.
"Wait!" Goku said again just as Gohan stepped inside and everyone looked at him in confusion while wondering what it was this time. "Kakkarot, it's impossible for you to be hungry...again!" Ozora said with a disapproving frown.
Her eyes widened when Goku pulled her closer to him and everyone else was shocked at the sudden action. "W-Wait!" Goku kissed Ozora passionately in front of the others and Michio flushed along with Bulma at the sudden action.
Ozora could feel her own face warm up but felt electricity spark throughout her body from the kiss. She felt Goku move and her eyes widened when she saw they fell right into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber while breaking the kiss with a grin.
"Gotcha!"
