Super Horned Ascension
Setting DBZ (Android-Buu saga)/Elvin Lied before the events of episode 4 and episode 5 and onwards. Story's rating is T for Teen for moderate to intense written action violence, coarse language (Lucy has a potty mouth), crude/rude/sexual humor, and mild thematic elements. And yes I have LSSJ2 permission to make the fic so ask him if ya want. This is a reposting slash revising of "Super Horned Ascension".
-Chapter 1 A New Fighter
-DBZ world
Over the sun soaked desert area south of Korin's Tower and Kami's Lookout a young black haired boy in a blue fighting uniform called a gi was flying very fast searching for answers. In three short years his world would come under the attack of deadly androids. In the center of the dried up arid place stood a palace surrounded by a large and clear moat. The boy floated down to the ground and walked into the palace.
"Baba can you hear me it's me Gohan. Please answer." The boy named Gohan asked in the rather dark, and creepy hallways.
"Ahh Gohan what do I owe the pleasure of the visit?" A raspy female asked the boy. In a puff of smoke a very small woman in a black hat and robes appeared and started walking up to Gohan.
"It's about the androids Baba we might not have enough power to take them down. Can you find any potential warriors for our cause?" Gohan asked the sorceress. Baba summoned her crystal ball and gazed upon another world. Gohan looked into the orb and saw a girl about his age. Oddly she had red eyes, pink hair and two odd looking horns on her head. She seemed sad and lonely.
"She shall do nicely I'll use a spell to take you to her world and bring her here." Baba explained.
"Are... are... are you sure she can help us Baba?" Gohan said worried.
"I have seen her future young Gohan it's not very bright. If she is not befriended soon I fear it will be too late to spare her." Baba explained sadly. Taking a sack of powder and mumbling some magic words and opened up a vortex leading to the girl's world.
"But Baba how'll I get back?" Gohan questioned the woman.
"Never fear my dear Gohan once you acquire the girl I'll incite a spell for your return." Baba said reassuring the boy. Gohan the entered the swirling vortex and soon found himself in another world.
-Elfen Lied universe
He studied his surroundings and deduced he was in a school-like building. It was full of bedrooms in a few of the halls. Gohan couldn't study the place for long since had a job to do which was finding that girl. It shouldn't have too hard but the place was big so where was she at? As if to answer her question Gohan heard a scream coming from classroom.
-classroom
Gohan had found the screams source a seemingly empty classroom. What he saw enraged him two boy's were holding a girl while a third was about to pummel the poor thing to death. Gohan had to act fast or the animal would toast. "MASENKO HA!" Gohan let loose his Masenko attack at the pot reducing it to dust.
"What the heck happened?" Asked the boy holding what was the pot which now was dust.
"I happened ya jerk!" Said an angry boy about their age with spiky black hair wearing a blue fighting gi.
The four kids stared at the boy who stared back with a fierce glare. He cracked his neck for a moment and his knuckles.
-begin Imperfect Cell theme
"I'm giving you all one choice leave her and her dog alone or else." The boy threatened them.
"Well, well we got a karate kid here (cracks knuckles) stand back people watch how it's done." The boy leapt at Gohan who only countered by catching his punch then throwing him across the other room's side. The boy struggled to get up and rejoined his other buddies.
"Now anyone else wanna try me?" Gohan growled at the other two boys who backed away from him. The three ran out of the room as if the hounds of hell were after them. Gohan turned his attention to the girl who came with her dog in her arms. The two stared each other down determining the threat level. Gohan sat himself on a desk to make himself less threatening.
"Um thank you." The girl said timidly to her savior. She seemed nervous and slightly scared.
"I'm Gohan I came here for you I think you might be able to help in upcoming battles. You'll have family too." Gohan said quietly getting the girl to come closer.
"A family for me?" She said in shock. "I'm named... my name is Lucy it was the only thing on my basket. Thank you for saving my puppy Gohan." Soon the same vortex that allowed him to get to this world was going to allow the dyad a way back.
"Lucy do you trust me?" Gohan asked her. Lucy nodded her head. Hand in hand the two then crossed through the portal. They then returned to Gohan's world.
-DBZ world
Soon the two children had returned from the parallel world and soon met up with Baba. Lucy hid behind Gohan afraid of this new person.
"Lucy this is Baba she's the one who told me to find you." Lucy looked at the small woman dressed in a black robe and witches hat.
"Err, thank you Baba." Lucy said timidly.
Soon the two walked outside into the heated desert. Lucy started sweating from the furious heat.
"Ok Lucy it's time we go home. Flying Nimbus!" Gohan shouted and soon a golden yellow cloud sped to stop near him. Gohan gestured for her to hop on it. Somewhat skeptical of the idea she did so anyway much to her surprise.
"What in the... " She stammered in confusion.
"That show's you're a good person Lucy since the Nimbus only allows decent people to ride it. It'll let you ride it while I fly back." Gohan explained to her. The two then started onward back home. Lucy looked over the scenery. This place was very different from hers. Pushing that idea aside why exactly did Baba want Gohan to find her for? What battles was he speaking of? Could she really be of help? Whatever the reason her new home it had to be better than the orphanage. It was getting dark but the duo kept flying along until they saw a dome like house near a forested area. Gohan started descending and so did the Nimbus. They finally stopped at the strange looking house.
"Ahh here we are home." Gohan said helping Lucy down off of the cloud. Gohan being the honest boy he was led Lucy by her hand with her pup following after them into house.
-Son residence
As soon as he entered the home he was barraged by his somewhat overbearing mother Chi-Chi who was always having him study. While his father Goku was reading paper until he seen his son come in the building.
"Where have you been young man you need to be studying mister." She lectured him that is until she saw the pink haired girl hiding timidly behind him.
"Wait a teensy minute who's the girl you have with you. You're too young to be dating young man." His mother asked curiously.
"He's a chip off the old block women go to him like moths to a flame." The spiky haired man joked. Gohan waved his hand in a manner stating he wasn't joking.
"This is Lucy she has no home no family could she stay with us? Please?" The boy begged his mother who looked into his sorrowful eyes and also Lucy's hopeful red ones.
"Mm... Gohan dear are you two sure about this?" Chi-Chi looked over to her husband.
"Well Chi-Chi you always said you wanted as girl. If you can't birth one naturally then adopt one." The black haired woman reluctantly had to agree with her husband. At this point chi-Chi noticed Lucy had no suitcase with her. "Alright honey since she hasn't anywhere to stay this'll be her home from now on." She said defeated.
"Honey what about your clothes or for that matter where're they? You can't wear that all the time." Chi-Chi asked her adopted daughter mentioning her plain white t and red skirt combo.
"I have nothing the kids took everything from me." She said downhearted.
It was then Chi-Chi was filled with a very protective motherly instinct and she embraced the little rose haired girl. Up until now no one had ever expressed any concern for her much less touched or held her when she cried. It felt no nice to have a mother's love for once. And Lucy hugged back. "Well don't you worry Lucy we'll just go shopping for all the clothes you need. I have the money to use from my father." Chi-Chi breaking the embraced and went to her catalogues books for cute girly clothes to buy at West City.
"Once you get settled in after a few days you'll have to learn the Bukojutsu." Goku or now her new dad told her.
"Bukujutsu? What's that?" The rosy haired girl asked confused.
Her new brother explained it to her more thoroughly. "Air flying technique basically. Meaning once you master it you can fly." Gohan said though the girl was still very much confused. Their mother came back into the room catalogue in hand.
"Chi-Chi now don't smother her. Anyway it's getting late you two should head to bed." Goku said as all of a sudden it started pouring down rain in buckets no less.
"Now that's a storm." Goku said observing the bad weather.
-Gohan's/Lucy's room
Since Lucy had no clothes to wear she borrowed some from her new brother until she had her own in which case a large white t shirt. She contemplated the odd bit of events that had happened recently. Just hours ago she was miserable at the orphanage and the kids hated her but Gohan stood up for her and his family readily took her in no questions asked. They didn't even seem freaked out by her horns in fact Chi-Chi thought they were cute on her looking like cat ears or a set of ribbons. Outside however it continued to storm and thunder while Lucy was snuggled up in her new blankets. Finally she fell asleep only to fall prey to a nightmare.
-Lucy's dream
Lucy woke seeing a massive bone yard littered with skeletons of people and she kept waking long until she came to some tombstones. They read "Goku Son, Chi-Chi Son, and Gohan Son, victims of murder the culprit Lucy Son". Soon skeletons started popping up from the ground and started reaching for her. Instinctively she curled into a ball only for the things to be upon her and she screamed.
-end dream 3:12 Am
Lucy screamed as she awoke herself. She was breathing heavily and saw her hands trembling but when a thunderclap made her jump she heard a voice or something like it in her head was speaking to her. "Soon you'll be a murdering monstrosity my dear there's no escape." The voice said coldly.
"Who're you?!" Lucy shouted.
"I am you the other you yer murdering instincts ready to take over. There's no escaping what you are my dear." The voice continued to taunt her. "You would've killed those boys anyway if yer precious little adoptive brother hadn't of shown up. Pity though I wonder how you'll kill the Sons?"
"No I refuse to hurt them! They took me in! I love them!" Lucy shouted out loud.
"Fine I'll be waiting and watching closely. Ahah! Ha! Ha! Ha!" The voice laughed. Lucy collapsed to her knees and started crying. Her loud bawling woke up her brother.
"Umm Lucy what's wrong?" He asked her groggily and Lucy pounced on him hugging him tightly.
"Oh Gohan I don't wanna be a murderer! (sniffle) Please " She said with sniffling. Lucy explained what she dreamt about and the voices she heard which really got her brother's attention. The small puppy she had with her started whining at its master. She had named him Jiro. He licked her hand and stared at her with his sad eyes.
"Shhh... You have me I'll always be there for you I promise." He said holding her hands and gazing into her ruby eyes using his dark ones. The horned girl slowly stopped sniffling. Gohan gave her a small peck on her cheek to calm her making her blush a shade of pink matching her rosy hair color.
"I know who can help Kami, Mr. Popo, and Korin at the lookout. Dad can take you there. (sees her worry) Please this isn't something you should keep bottled up." Gohan told her. Reluctantly she agreed with him. The two siblings went to their parent's room.
-Goku/Chi-Chi's room 3:16 AM
Goku was sawing logs as was his wife Chi-Chi who was out like a light. Cautiously the sibling dyad went into the room and walked to the bed. Gohan looked at his sleeping mother. She was really sleeping up a storm. *poke* *poke* *poke* Their mother groaned as she was poked until finally she was rudely awoken.
"What! What is it you two2 (checks clock) it's 3:16 AM what do you two need at this hour?" Their mother asked the two of them. Gohan gestured for her to tell her what was wrong.
"I've been having nightmares mama please I don't wanna hurt anyone." The rosy haired girl pleaded with her new mother. She looked at her with the most saddest eyes which quivered with tears.
"In the morning we'll take you to a therapist." She said.
"Mom it's not that simple if this keeps up she can't help us. This could really eat at her if we ignore it. This is dad's territory." Gohan explained to her. Reluctantly the raven haired woman woke her sleeping man.
"Wake up Goku! Wake up! Get yer butt up!" She spat at him shaking him. He didn't wake up and then the woman smacked him upside his spiky haired head.
"DOUCH DAMNIT! Chi-Chi what'd ya hit me for? That fricking smarts!" The tall man said annoyed with his wife standing up in the bed clutching his sore head.
"Lucy's having nightmares and they're keeping her awake Goku help her she's our daughter after all." His wife told him. He looked at his two young kids and Gohan spoke up.
"I suggested she go to see Kami, Mr. Popo, and Korin at the lookout dad they might be able to help." Gohan said holding Lucy close.
"Alright Gohan we'll give it a shot. Lucy do you want to be trained by them?" Her new father asked her.
"Yes I do if it'll help me then yes." She said determined.
"Well until then it's back to bed you two c'mon march you little half-pints." Chi-Chi said half joking and half ordering.
-Gohan's/Lucy's room
Once back into Gohan's bed the two siblings (plus Jiro sleeping at the bed's foot) soon drifted off to sleep and for once the young girl had no nightmares to scare her awake. She had a family to care for her. She was safe finally from harm Gohan would be there for her and so would her new parents Goku and Chi-Chi.
-Korin's Tower/Kami's Lookout a few days later
On the topside the high building of Korin's Tower/Kami's Lookout a tall and old green skinned man was having some warm tea his heavyset black skinned genie friend had made. The green skinned man was a Namekian an alien being was named Kami guardian of the Earth and the genie was Mr. Popo a friend and assistant. Goku was flying there with his newly adopted daughter clutching him and soon landed on the white tile work. Kami turned and saw his old friend and ally of good Goku. "Goku to what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" The Namekian asked him.
"Kami I'd like the two of you to help train my daughter." Goku said to the green skinned alien. Mr. Popo walked over to them and seemed confused when he said "his daughter". Since when did his wife have a girl?
"Your daughter Goku? Congratulations when did Chi-Chi have a girl?" The genie asked the spiky haired man. A small red eyed pink haired girl around Gohan's age peeked out from behind Goku's leg. She seemed nervous and was unwilling to budge even in the slightest.
"Just a few days ago Gohan found her she's been having terrible nightmares. She dreamt she went on a bloody killing spree. (expression turns serious) Please Kami you have to train her to overcome her fear." Goku said very serious but Lucy seemed very intimidated by the two strangers if not scared. "It's ok Lucy these some of my friends the tall one is Kami guardian of Earth and his friend Mr. Popo say hello." Goku kneeled down to his daughter who was nervous.
"Err hello Mr. Popo hello Mr. Kami." She said nervously and politely holding onto her adoptive father's Gi's pant leg.
"Young lady do you want to be trained? It will be a very hard long road." Kami asked her. The girl took a look at her father then at Kami then back her at Goku again. After some hesitation she spoke up.
"I'll do it." She said getting determined.
"Atta girl." Goku hooted and so Lucy's long hard road of training started.
-three years later
Over the past three years Lucy overcame her fears and the voices never came back. She had learned that Goku was the strongest man in the universe and his friends were preparing for their deadliest opponents yet two androids bent on total annihilation of civilization. Gohan traveled to ask for her help in the future. Gohan and his or now their father taught her a lot. Within a few days of training she could fly but still couldn't use Ki based attacks. Gohan decided to teach her his "Masenko" move which she readily adapted. Her dad's friends nicknamed the "Z Fighters" also taught her techniques. The three eyed man Tien Shinhan used an attack called "Solar Flare" which she then tweaked around into something she called the "Blazing Storm". The former desert bandit Yamcha taught her the "Wolf Fang Fist" which was retooled into her "Beast Claws". She learned skills from Piccolo the other half of Kami, Krillin the short bald (he shaves it though) monk. From the two she learned "Special Beam Cannon" plus Krillin's "Destructo Disc" and which she changed into her "Tornado Beam" and the "Thunder Slasher".
It was then the androids appeared that Trunks warned about. The two went on a rampage nearly killing Yamcha. Goku went into fighting but seemed weaker only to be the heart virus that Trunks had warned him of the Z Fighters were then saved by a very unlikely ally the Prince of Saiyans himself Vegeta. Making short work of the fat #19 by going Super Saiyan (a state of high power and spiky blonde hair) he turned his attention to #20 who was revealed to be the androids builder Dr. Gero himself. The group followed him to his secret lair revealing three more androids #'s 16-18. The twinned androids 17 and 18 kill Gero free 16 and then go off to rampage more. In the meantime after a few battles Piccolo merged back with Kami but soon an even bigger threat was revealed. In a remote northern forest Bulma had found what looked to be another Capsule Corp. time machine only it was in pathetic shape. Even more disturbing nearby a strange looking insectoid skin was found. This was revealed to be the ultimate creation of Gero the artificial and abominable bio-android Cell alias android 20.
Cell didn't live up to his creators expectations by being a light weight he was a power house. For even after Piccolo had merged with Kami he still only an even match for the psychopathic insectoid creature. Adding more fuel to the already huge fire Cell absorbed 17 and 18 to become his quoted "perfect form". Even the mighty Vegeta was easily subdued by him. Deciding to amuse himself Cell organized a tournament to decide the fate of Earth. Goku had healed by then and decide to train Gohan and Lucy in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Gohan then became a Super Saiyan while Lucy started lagging behind him.
- Hyperbolic Time Chamber
In the washroom of the chamber Goku and Gohan were in the bath getting off the seat from their workouts while Lucy just watched wrapped in a towel with her feet dangling in the water not that she hated the two seeing her naked since they were family. She didn't seem to happy in all aspects she looked depressed. "Sis what's wrong?" Her brother asked her concerned.
"Yeah Lucy what's the matter?" Her Saiyan father asked also very concerned about her.
"Maybe I'm just a wimp to begin with. I'll never get any stronger." The rose haired girl said sadly giving up her hope. Her two male family members moved over to her.
"Don't say you're a wimp Lucy you're already stronger than Krillin and he's older than you." Gohan said trying to cheer her up but she didn't believe it.
"You're not a wimp Lucy like Gohan said you're already stronger then you give yerself credit for." Goku reassured her but she still wasn't buying it. Depressed at herself at being so weak she retired to bed.
"I'm going to bed night all." And the little horned girl went to bed while her male family members watched defeated in how to help her. It seemed Lucy's greatest enemy now was her lack of self-confidence in her fighting power compared to her brother who was getting stronger by the minute.
"Give her some time I sense something in her. A dormant power just waiting to be unshackled. " Their father said reading her Ki energy.
-Cell battles
Eventually the Cell games started and the reigning champ of fighting Hercule alias Mr. Satan came to fight only to be clobbered by the Z Fighters spectacular power. With even Goku unable to stop the synthetic juggernaut Cell Goku sent Gohan to fight. Tantalized by claims of a hidden power inside the boy Cell creates miniature versions of himself dubbed "Cell Juniors". They make short work of the fighters but it still didn't get Gohan's power out until in a bit of desperation the last bit of Android 16 (his head) told him to protect what he loved only to be crushed by Cell's heel. This act of evil mad something in him snap yet oddly also something inside of Lucy also snapped. In a huge rage in a two on one brawl the two siblings defeated the android but at a high cost to save Earth Goku's life was lost in the battle. And their mother was expecting another child too. The little one would never know their other parent.
-death of Cell
Greif stricken by their parent's brave sacrifice they stared at the battle ground in despair. They stood by each other in utter shock.
"Dad " Gohan said sadly shedding a tear. Even Lucy was sad. Goku the only father she had ever known the only man to take her in care for her was dead trying to protect his most cherished things his beloved wife Chi-Chi, his two children Lucy and Gohan, his friends the Z-Fighters and most importantly the planet Earth his home.
"Goku... " Lucy said breaking down onto the ground.
Their father was gone and so was a great man. A man who was always gentle but when the time came ready to fight anyone threatening the basics of human rights or planet Earth. Soon a few years went by and the two got taller and better built. Lucy filled out her frame in all the right places getting stares from Yamcha, Tien, and even Krillin despite being married with a child to Android 18 (who was coughed up by Cell with a hard punch to his gut). Gohan had increased in muscle mass getting stares from Launch, 18, and even Bulma herself made occasional glances at him.
-to be continued
Well folks this just a set up chapter there will one more before the ass kicking starts up. But like it hate it? Needs improvement at where? Mail me and tell what you all think. And yes folks I'm summing up the Trunks/Android/Cell sagas all into a small story. TURP signing off for the night.
