Holy it's been awhile again but I still ain't dead. And neither is this story. Though what did ended was Dragonball Super. I'm gonna miss those weekly episodes to see what else they could do, but now we gotta wait for the movie coming out in December this year. Anyway, let's get onto reviews!
.
Blake2020: Thanks! But nah, I got no plans for Lisanna. Currently just the two right now.
wweTheBeast2015 & twisterblake2015: Thanks!
CobraAssassin: Thank you! I like to drink occasionally myself but not to the point where I'm completely drunk, just a glass or cup or two. Heard from my friends that you could get a kidney stone from drinking too much, I DEFINITELY do not want to experience that, ever. I don't wish it on any man either.
fairy saiyan: Thank you! I like your reviews, they're funny to read haha.
Elvisfonz23: Thank you again! Everything is still good for me!
AntiHero627: Thank you, I won't stop writing, though I wish was consistent and the excuse of college is getting old. It's true, but it's probably something several people are tired of hearing. As far as other universes goes, eventually. But as far as other series go other than RWBY, not right or likely in the long run. There are a few more fillers before we go back to the canon route of FT along with my short arc I have planned before the Tenrou Arc that I mentioned a while back.
BladeKnightmare: I'm most likely going to have plans for Fuu, but not soon, in the far future I will.
NacNak: Thank you!
LifeByTheCreed: Think you'll find out in this chapter, thanks for the review!
devo333100: Amber is going to appear in the future but not in this story specifically, as for Arc or any other characters it's likely.
JLK98: Nah, this fic is dead when I say it's dead :p
.
Thank you for everyone sticking by! Hope you enjoy!
Onward!
Birds chirped in a morning in Magnolia as the sun was shining in the sky. As per usual with the city, people were busy as always, out in the streets trying to make their living and go on with their daily routines.
The iconic Fairy Tail guild still had their doors closed, but within it were just a few people who had either stayed or came to the guild early. Makarov was one person inside who had entered the building not too long ago. He walked by the bar to spot a knocked out Cana with a blanket draped over her with her mug laying at its side. The Master chuckled to himself as he remembered what Mirajane had done the night before so that the contest ended.
Making his way to his office, Makarov walked the steps to the second floor, dreading the amount of remaining paperwork he had to finish that constantly poured in. However, coming upon the door that was slightly open to the infirmary, he couldn't help but peer inside to see familiar white hair. He saw Mirajane still sleeping with her head laid on one of the beds while sitting, and right near her was Cana's combatant in drinking to which he dubiously, but likely unknowingly, won against. Yusuke laid on his stomach fast asleep with his head on the pillow, slightly snoring and had drool coming out of his mouth that soaked the fabric under him. Makarov smiled to himself and shook his head slightly, knowing how much of a hangover the boy will have when he wakes up. Luckily, Mirajane is there to help him out.
Walking out of the infirmary, Makarov finally made it to his office. Eliciting a depressing sigh, he opened up the door and headed on in with a full day of work waiting for him.
Mirajane fluttered her eyes open when she felt shuffling on the bed she was on. An audible groan could be heard near her, and she looked forward with a slight daze to see Yusuke laying on his side with his back facing her, his hands clutching his head. She blinked once and remembered him and Cana drinking the night before and how he had to be brought up by her and Erza afterwards. Sighing, she got up and went to the other side of the bed with her arms crossed.
A shadow was behind Yusuke's eyes as he winced from the pain and nausea, and he cracked one eye open to see his girlfriend towering over him with deadpan expression.
"Do you think you'll drink that much again?" She questioned.
"... no." Yusuke managed to say, just above a whisper but enough for her to hear.
Mirajane smiled slightly and bent down towards him to peck him on his cheek. "Good answer."
"... not so loud, please." Yusuke muttered weakly.
"Sorry." Mirajane responded with a slight giggle and stood back up. "I'll get you some water, you can keep lying on the bed."
"Thanks…" The Saiyan said, and buried his face back into the pillow.
The barmaid exited the infirmary and headed downstairs. She walked past a sleeping Cana with an exasperated smile, and went behind the counter to take out two glass cups. She filled them up with water over at the sink, and when finished, she set them on the counter. Mirajane placed a hand on Cana's shoulder, and slightly shook her.
"Cana, wake up." Mirajane said, shaking the brunette more.
"Mm…" A groan was heard from Cana, and she swatted Mirajane's hand away.
Sighing, she gave off a slight grin and picked up the two cups filled with water. Mirajane went and threw the water out of the cups and onto Cana, splashing her hair, enough to wake her up.
"Agh! Cold…!" Cana jumped on the stool and looked around, startled. She blinked once and looked at Mirajane, who was still holding the empty cups in her hands, and couldn't help but yawn. "What happened…?"
"You were knocked out last night from that silly drinking contest…" Mirajane said.
"Oh… oh! I-I lost?!" Cana stuttered, standing up from the stool.
"No… not really, but I would say it's more of a draw." Mirajane answered, shaking her head.
"A draw…? So…"
"I'm partially to blame, I casted a sleeping spell on you so that you couldn't stay awake. But, Yusuke caught on shortly after Erza and I helped him. He doesn't count that as his win, but also never said that he lost though." The barmaid explained as she went to refill a cup with water.
"Heh… probably wouldn't want me to boss him around for an entire day… well, it's fine. It was already worth it, seeing him struggling to keep up with me, haha!"
"It honestly surprised me too with how much he drank… well, he's feeling it upstairs right now."
"Hangover, huh? First time for everything." Cana laughed again, and turned around as she began heading to the door. "I'm heading back to the dorm to freshen myself up. Later, Mira!"
Cana waved her arm to bid a goodbye, and as she left, Mirajane went back upstairs to the infirmary where Yusuke was still at. When walking towards the bed where he laid, she found him snoozing again.
"I suppose he couldn't help it…" Mirajane said with a smile. She set the water down on the nearby drawer and sat in a chair. 'I'll be here, don't worry.'
A few days had passed after returning from the mission that Yusuke and others went on at Lineaqua and only a handful of people were informed of what happened during the job. Master Makarov was one of the obvious people, along with the rest of Team Natsu and a couple of others such as Mirajane and Gildarts, who was with Makarov at that time.
They were surprised and worried of course, but knowing the job was done well enough that the city was kept mostly intact from the battle, which shocked Makarov even more, they decided to leave it be as it was no longer a threat for now.
Amongst other things, Erza was currently with Yusuke aboard on a train that was on its way to Crocus, the capital of Fiore. They were sitting across from each other and both were looking out the window as the scenery rapidly changed.
"... Simon's younger sister, huh? What a small world…" Erza said fondly.
"She was pretty happy when she heard her brother is still alive." Yusuke said.
"I can only imagine. I wonder what they're all up to right now. Hopefully they're safe."
"I'm sure they are… and that they'll both see each other soon." Yusuke said, and continued looking out the window before looking at Erza. "Why are we taking the train anyway? It'd be faster if we flew."
"I know that, but taking the train once in a while brings a sense of nostalgia. Also, not having your hair wildly blown away is nice too." Erza said with a small grin when she met Yusuke's eyes.
"Okay, you got a point." He chuckled. "... How's training with Marissa so far?"
"It's tough… she doesn't make it easier than you do." Erza sighed, thinking back as her and Mirajane began training with the Earthling rather than Yusuke at the moment. It was all because the male Saiyan, with some persuading, thought that both woman would finally be able to learn the Kaio-ken technique. Knowing that, Marissa was the perfect person to teach them, leaving the mages in her care for now while Yusuke continued training with Ann.
"If it was, it wouldn't be training then." Yusuke said with a slight grin.
"Yes, you're right." Erza chuckled, and uncrossed her arms so that they laid on the armrest of her seat. "I've been wondering… your transformation…"
"What about it…?"
"It didn't come naturally when you were first born, did it?"
"No, actually. Not until I joined the Time Patrol that I was able to transform. Why?"
"I was just curious, something that can you so powerful in an instant must have come with a cost, didn't it? I know when I first discovered my magic back at the tower… it was after Grandpa Rob had died to protect me."
"A cost? Hm... " Yusuke leaned back into his seat more and placed his hands inside his jacket pockets. "I wouldn't say there was anything that costed me to first transform… I just, became really angry when I was backed into a corner."
"Just like that?"
"That's how it is with some Saiyans. Other's… well, they just happened to naturally transform. But for me, it took some time."
"What the hell did you do?!" Yusuke shouted angrily, glaring at Towa and Mira as the three of them floated above the ruined Bridge Town.
"That's for us to know, and for you to not found out. Hopefully, long enough so that Trunks disappears." Towa said with a smirk as she floated beside Mira.
"Tch…!" Yusuke brought out power around him as he dashed forward towards the two, bringing back an arm coated in Ki.
As soon as the Saiyan reached the duo, he punched, but was met with air as Towa and Mira had vanished the moment he neared them. Yusuke halted his movements and looked around him with none of the Time Breakers in sight.
"Damn it all…!" Yusuke sneered.
"What else could have been changed...? We need to hurry and find out, at this rate...!" Trunks' voice was heard.
"You seem to be troubled."
"...!" Yusuke whipped around to the new voice, and saw a completely new person who he hadn't seen before, appear out of thin air. It was a male, he had red hair that was fashioned upward so that it practically defied gravity, wore blue clothings with gold and red trimmings around it, and wielded a bony-white staff with a red orb resting on top of it. His skin complexion was ash white, and he had pointy ears.
"Do not be alarmed." The man said.
"Who are you?!" Yusuke demanded.
"A little rude, aren't we? My identity is of no importance at this moment. What is important however, is the distortion happening at this moment." The man said, and held out his hand that wasn't holding his staff. "Would you like to go to it?"
'The other distortion… how does he know it…?' Yusuke stayed silent, and mulled it over as he saw the smirk on the man's face. He gritted his teeth and clenched his hands. 'Damn it, Trunks is about to be completely vanished, I need to take the chance!'
"Well? You don't have a choice, do you?" The man questioned.
"Fine." Answered Yusuke, and held out his own hand. "Take me there."
"Good… good." The man's hand glowed for a second before he positioned his palm towards Yusuke. "Tell the Supreme Kai of Time… that I'll be seeing her soon."
"Wait, wha-?!" Yusuke spoke, but was cut off as he was suddenly vanished.
"That's the first time I've seen Demigra. I… had to help my friend, so I practically took a devil's contract." Yusuke told.
"But you did it to help him. You saved him, didn't you?" Erza asked.
"Yeah, I did." He nodded, and looked up at the ceiling while crossing his arms.
"Nng…!" Yusuke blinked, and took a step back before realizing he wasn't floating in the air anymore, but was on the ground.
He looked around him to find a wasteland with several plateau's and cliff's scattered around.
"Did that person really send me to the distortion? It doesn't look like it…" Yusuke muttered, and looked at his hands. He thought back to what the person had said before he transported the Saiyan. "How does he know her?"
"Hm? What do we have here?"
Yusuke immediately went on alert to hear a familiar voice and turned around. When he did he, he made a slight gasp at the sight of Perfect Cell, casually floating in the air at a single spot with his arms crossed.
'I'm still Trunks' future timeline, right…? Cell never achieved his perfect form in it…' The Time Patroller thought.
"I can sense some power in you… I think you'll be a good person to test my newfound powers on!" Cell announced, and began to dive down.
Yusuke sharpened his eyes as he powered up, and leaped off the ground to meet Cell with both of their fists connecting. A shockwave was emitted between them, and they both landed on the ground, facing each other.
"Hm… not bad, young man. You definitely have strength." Cell said, and crouched forward a bit before leaping towards the Time Patroller.
Yusuke held his arms up and steadied himself, spreading his legs apart on the ground. As Cell closed in with a shout and a punch, the Saiyan hopped forward and ducked under Cell's arm, and launched one his own fists towards the monster's guts. Yusuke landed a successful punch, causing Cell to grunt audibly before deciding to knee the mysterious fighter, to which he backed away from.
"You're certainly giving more of a fight than those Androids, that's for sure." Cell said, standing up straight again.
"Keep on comparing me to them, it'll be more easier for me to beat you up." Yusuke taunted.
"So you do talk, and quite the mouth you've got on you." Cell said with a small smirk.
"I get that alot."
"And you'll be getting more than that from me once I'm finished with you." Cell claimed, and a dark purple aura began swirling around him as his eyes flashed red.
'Yeah… this is definitely it… I don't sense the Trunks in this timeline. Not yet I hope… I'll need to take care of Cell for now.' Yusuke thought through his mind, and shouted as power raged around him.
Cell let out a cry as he charged forward towards the Saiyan at rapid speed. Yusuke leaped up in time to evade the Bio-Android as he went past him. Cell stopped short and took to the air as well and quickly met Yusuke's height. He flipped backwards to kick the Patroller on the head, and motioned his body the way he wanted to but as his leg reached the Saiyan, Yusuke crossed his arms above him to block the attack. However, he was sent down to the ground, and landed on both of his feet and used one of his hands to steady himself.
Yusuke looked above him to see bright light, and saw that a Ki wave was coming down at him. He rolled forward, and got away just in time from the blast. Dust was picked up and it obscured his vision, however, he sensed Cell's power rise and saw bright blue light from above. Looking up, Yusuke saw Cell charging his Ki at the right side of his body.
"Oh no." Yusuke muttered.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Cell roared from above as he thrusted his arms forward, aiming down at the ground where the Time Patroller was at.
Needing to act, Yusuke quickly joined his hands together the right side of his body and immediately charged his energy as blue Ki spiraled in between his palms.
KAMEHAME…!
...HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Yusuke's shout echoed across the wasteland as he launched his arms up to where Cell was at, his attack exploding out of his hands and clashed against the monster's own attack in the middle of the air. The force was enough to destroy the surrounding ground around him, leaving Yusuke to float in the air while pouring out more of his energy in his attack. He struggled as Cell kept overpowering him, and shouted as he kept fighting.
Eventually, the struggle ended in Cell's favor as his attack quickly traveled towards Yusuke, who gasped as he saw it draw closer to him. An explosion occurred from where he floated in the air, and he was seen coming out of it from the bottom and he collided against the ground back first. His uniform was seen torn apart with visible scratches and wounds that had blood leaking out.
"Nng…! Agh!" Yusuke winced as he panted heavily, and opened his eyes slightly to see the dust clearing up. He could see Cell descended down from the air with his arms crossed, and could hear the faint chuckling from him. "Bastard… I need get rid of him…!"
The Time Patroller forced his body to move and got out the body-shaped crater. He stood while still slightly panting, keeping his eyes on Cell as he landed down on the ground.
"HAH!"
Yusuke and Cell both looked to the side to see a newly arrival, and saw that the Trunks of this era had just turned into Super Saiyan.
'Here's here… thank goodness…' The Patrolman thought with a sigh.
"Cell…! Why are you here?! And in your perfect form!" Trunks demanded.
"Ah Trunks, I shouldn't be surprised that you know of me since you've travelled to the past. I suppose you also know that I was able to achieve this form by absorbing Android 17 and Android 18!" Cell pridely said.
"You… as long as you exist then humanity has no future!" Trunks yelled out and brought out more of his power.
"HAH!" Yusuke cried out as well, and Cell looked back at him.
"I don't know who you are, but either way, the both of you will be killed by me!" Cell announced, and rushed towards the Time Patroller first.
Yusuke took his stance as he observed Cell charging at him, but a Ki blast was sent towards him from the side to which the bio-android saw in his peripherals, and redirected his movements towards the air. He shouted as he brought a hand overhead, and threw it down a moment later, sending a barrage of Ki blasts towards the ground.
Both Trunks and Yusuke leaped back far away from the blast radius and landed near each other as they saw Cell rushing down towards them. As he did so, the familiar red glow in his eyes with the dark purple miasma swirling around him was not missed by the Time Patroller.
"I remember you helping me a while back, and I'm glad you're doing so again now. Let's back each other up against this monster." Trunks said towards the Patroller.
"I'll distract him as much as I can and when I do, go in for a strike. Got it?" Yusuke planned.
"Right." He nodded.
Yusuke charged up Ki in his hands before firing it up towards Cell in the air with a cry. Smoke picked up once more as Cell batted away his attack, and the Saiyan dashed in the air where he was at and met up with Cell as he just flew out of the smoke. Both of their eyes met as they closed in at each other, and as they did, both fighters struck with their elbows at each other. The first shockwave, blew away the smoke in the air before both fighters began exchanging punches and kicks in the air.
Trunks' hair moved slightly from the impact of the blows as he continued observing both fighters. He saw his ally managing a punch in Cell's cheek before the bio-android retaliated with a punch of his own towards Yusuke's guts. The power that Cell put in was enough to distract Yusuke as he skidded back in the air, holding his stomach. A moment later, Cell closed in on him with a kick to the Patroller's face, sending him back down in the air, and caused him to crash into a nearby small mountain.
"Damn." Trunks cursed slightly, and dashed into the air to where Cell was at.
"You'll never win!" Cell shouted, and turned his body to dodge a punch from Trunks and went to counter with a punch of his own. But as Cell did so, he saw that it was caught by one of the demi-Saiyan's hand, and was met with a glare.
"I will do whatever it takes to bring you down!" Trunks announced as more of his golden aura raged around him. He hardened his glare as he went to knee Cell's stomach, and succeeded in doing so as the bio-android skidded back in the air.
"You're definitely a lot more powerful the last time you were here… " Cell said lowly, and raised his forearms as he raised his Ki. "But you're still no match for me!"
"All of the time I have spent training would be wasted if I don't defeat you here, I'll make sure you don't walk the Earth anymore!" Trunks said.
A golden Ki blast was shot from below towards Cell which both fighters saw when glancing down. The bio-android shot a Ki blast down towards the one sent to him, and both exploded. Out of the smoke, Yusuke was seen shooting out of it towards Cell with a cry and a fist in front of him. As the Patroller neared him, Cell caught his wrist and blocked a knee with his forearm.
"Nice try." Cell said.
"Thanks." Yusuke replied, and brought out his aura once more. The power the Patroller brought out surprised Cell a bit, and catching him off-guard by that moment Yusuke quickly went behind the bio-android and went to lock him arms and legs, holding him in place in the air.
"What?!" Cell cried out, struggling to break free.
"Trunks! Now!" Yusuke shouted.
"HAH!" Trunks did not waste any time in charging up an attack in front of him as a bright, ball of orange Ki was formed. He shouted as he launched his attack towards Cell and Yusuke, resulting in a large, bright explosion in the air.
A moment passed as Trunks stared at the plume of smoke in the air before hearing a painful cry, and looked to see Yusuke falling out of the smoke with more bruises on him than before. The air was blown away as Cell was seen a bit peeved, and panting slightly.
"Don't think that trick will work on me!" Cell shouted as his eyes glowed red once more.
Yusuke collapsed to the ground once more after being hit by Trunks' blast and a few punches from Cell. He panted heavily and opened his eyes to look up in the air as Trunks and Cell were currently fighting, but could see that Cell had the upper hand between the two of them before he landed a blow to Trunks' guts, and slammed with both of his hands together at the Demi-Saiyan's head, knocking him down towards the ground. Trunks crashed to the wasteland near where Yusuke currently laid, and both watched as Cell descended to the ground.
"It was fun while it lasted, but this simply proves that I am far superior to you." Cell boasted as he began walking. It didn't seem he had any interest in who to go to first as he walked towards the middle of them before he turned his direction towards the Time Patroller. "I'll start with you since you were the first."
"Damn it…" Yusuke cursed as he rolled to the side, and steadily stood up on both of his feet to face the bio-android.
The Time Patroller crossed both of his arms in front of him to block a punch, but Cell made it through his defenses, punching him straight in the face, and staggered back a few steps. Cell didn't let up a moment later as he continued landing punches at the Saiyan repeatedly.
Trunks struggled getting up, and could only watch as his helper was getting beaten by the bio-android to no end.
'Damn it…! I… I need to help!' Trunks gritted his teeth as he managed to get up on his hands and knees.
"Guah!" Yusuke coughed out saliva as he was sent back to a base of a mountain with a hard enough impact to create a crater. He dropped his arms to the side as his head was down with his eyes overshadowed by his bangs.
"I'll give you credit for somewhat of a decent fight. But now, you die!" Cell announced as he brought back a fist, and his shout echoed across the wasteland as he went for the finishing blow.
"No!" Trunks cried out.
Cell's hand was caught, just in front of Yusuke's heart. He widened his eyes to see the Patroller holding his fist with his left hand, and was gripped tightly. Cell grunted as he tried prying it away, but was unable to do so.
'What?!' Cell thought with widened eyes. He looked past the bangs on the Saiyan's forehead to see teal eyes looking at him, and gasped.
"RAGH!" Yusuke roared as kneed Cell in the abdomen hard, causing the bio-android to be sent back flying, and landing on the ground in pain.
Cell rolled a few times on the ground before landing on his back and went to clutch his right arm, only to quickly realize that it wasn't there. He looked to where his right arm should be, but only found it to be gone with his purple blood spilling out from the section it was ripped apart. He looked ahead to see Yusuke throw his limb towards him, only for it to explode in the air and up in smoke. Cell watched with wide-eyes as the smoke cleared up to see the teal eyes of the Patroller glaring at him.
Yusuke roared towards the sky as the ground started quaking. The nearby formations of tall rocks crumbled to the ground, and a bright light engulfed Yusuke's person entirely. Beams of light shined around him, seemingly causing the sky to darken for a moment before another bright explosion occurred where Yusuke stood.
Trunks and Cell silently watched on in anticipation and awe as the dust that was formed around the Patroller receded, and revealed himself in a glowing aura and light around him, his black hair now defying gravity as it stood pointing up in a golden color and his teal eyes continued glaring down at Cell.
'This person… he's…' Trunks started to think.
'... A Saiyan?!' Cell thought disbelievingly, and gritted his teeth as he quickly stood up.
Yusuke's eyes narrowed by just a slight margin before flickering out of sight from his spot. Cell caught his actions but couldn't react in time as felt pain shoot up from his stomach once more, and coughed out blood from his mouth. He had trouble breathing as he looked down to see the Patroller with his fist in his guts, and couldn't help but cough out more blood as he retracted his arm, only to be kicked at the side of his body as Yusuke turned his body around to land another blow with his feet.
Cell slid with the side of his body on the ground and eventually came to a halt with the help of his free hand. He panted heavily as he glanced up in time to see the Time Patroller bring his leg back down and face him, his eyes looking down at him.
Trunks continued watching with surprise in his eyes at how quickly his helper was beating down Cell, in his perfect form.
'This is just like when Gohan transformed… we might have a chance now!' Trunks thought, and fully stood up after catching some of his breath.
"I won't go down here…!" Cell clenched his teeth and stood up and shouted as his right arm regenerated with green ooze decorating it. He panted heavily afterwards but caught his breath and glared at the Time Patroller. "I will win!"
The purple aura swirled around Cell as his eyes flashed red once more. He roared as he charged forward at Yusuke, only to be brought back down on the ground on his back. Cell opened his eyes after the brief moment of shock and saw light shining down on him through some cracks, but quickly realized it was a hand, and glanced to the side to see the Patroller's teal eyes continuing to glare at him.
Yusuke lifted Cell up and threw him away with ease in the air. He disappeared from his spot again and appeared above Cell and kicked him in the back with the tip of his boot, sending both him and the bio-android down to the ground with only Cell taking the brunt of the damage. Another small quake occurred when Yusuke slammed Cell down on the ground, leaving a crater and picking up dust, and he leaped back.
Cell was seen quivering as he struggled to stand up, and was still panting from the blows done to him by the Time Patroller. He growled audibly as she shouted afterwards, the purple miasma appearing once more around him as Cell powered up. In return, Yusuke roared loudly as well, his golden aura bursting around him. The bio-android was about to make his move, only to blink and gasp in surprise as Yusuke was already in front of him with a punch ready, and the Saiyan succeeded in doing so as his fist landed on Cell's face. The bio-android stepped back a few times before clenching his teeth and went to kick Yusuke, but was caught again by the Saiyan's hand. Yusuke extended out a hand in front of him towards Cell, and fired off a Ki blast at point blank range.
The Ki blast blew past several plateaus with Cell screaming in pain before a large explosion occurred in the distance. Despite it being far away, there was still a large tremor that could be felt from where Trunks, looking wide-eyed at how far Cell went, and the Time Patroller stood in the area.
'Amazing... ' Trunks thought as he looked at Yusuke. 'I don't think he's even in the Ascended Super Saiyan state… and he's this strong.'
Yusuke caught Trunks eyeing him, and gave off a nod of assurance with a confident smile at him before quickly flying off.
"I better follow him." Trunks said to himself, and immediately headed after the Time Patroller.
Yusuke was the first to arrive where a rise in smoke was clearly seen from large rubble underneath. Trunks arrived shortly after and floated in the air beside him, looking down as well.
Before either of them could say anything, a yell could be heard from below, and they looked to see the smoke and debris blown away to reveal a damaged Cell, panting. He looked up with veins popping out from his forehead, and with a roar, he cloaked himself in his aura and launched himself in the sky, past the two Saiyans.
"I'll be sure to destroy the both of you, along with the wretched planet!" Cell shouted from above, and began charging up Ki at one point on his body.
"Bastard…" Yusuke muttered.
"We need to stop him!" Trunks announced, and began bulking up, large enough that his jacket ripped off. After doing so, he placed his hands above him towards Cell, and began charging his energy.
Yusuke dashed to the side to give himself more room, and his golden aura came to life around him as he spreaded apart his arms, also charging his energy in both of his hands.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Cell roared once more as he launched his arms down on the planet, a very large Ki wave was fired off and was descending down rapidly.
Trunks and Yusuke shouted in unison as they fired off their respective attacks towards Cell's, and both sides clashed, blowing away the surrounding wasteland near them to a few miles out.
Cell continued shouting as more of his power was used in his attack. Until suddenly, a sharp pain erupted from his back, and he staggered forward a bit but kept up his attack. He glanced back to see a lone pink figure with several antennas on them, and seeing a bright pink glow in front of them, Cell quickly realized that the figure had just fired off small and rapid Ki blast. He couldn't evade given how he is at the moment, and had no other choice but to take the hits head on. However, as he did so, he quickly realized that it as almost enough to break his concentration in front of him.
"You insolent…-!" Cell started, and was about to expand his wings to backfire with his own energy but was stopped as he coughed out a large amount of his blood. The bio-android slowly looked down to see a large, smoking, gaping hole in his midsection that his blood leaked out from.
The Saiyan's down below suddenly felt Cell's energy drop drastically, and the attack on his side dwindled in size. The both of them took the opportunity and increased their power in that moment and shouted, both of their attacks expanded in size that completely overtook Cell's. As Cell lost control of the clash, he looked up from his wound to see his own Ki wave disappear completely with both Saiyan's attack engulfing him entirely.
Cell screamed, his eyes wide as his body was slowly ripped apart starting from the large wound he received from the unknown figure a moment ago. Then after that, his entire body disintegrated as the blast reached outside of Earth's atmosphere.
"We did it…" Trunks panted as he lowered his arms.
Yusuke dropped his arms to his side and continued observing above.
'That was strange… we overpowered him almost instantly.' Yusuke thought as he saw nothing else but the blue sky until he spotted a faint white glow from the distance. The Time Patroller saw someone waving their arm at him, and saw pink skin for a brief moment before they were gone. 'Is that…'
"Thank you again… I never got to know who you are, considering you've helped me all this time." Trunks said towards the Time Patroller, and he looked away from the sky to look at Trunks. "And you're a Saiyan too…! I didn't think that there was any left…"
Before Yusuke could say anything, a white glow began appearing around him, surprising Trunks. "I can't say much at this moment. Just know that you'll getting yourself into a lot of things soon."
"What…?" Trunks saw the smirk on the Time Patroller before he covered his eyes from a bright white glow in front of him. When Trunks' vision came to him again, he looked around to see himself alone.
Back in the Time Nest, several people were waiting for Yusuke to come back, and when a white glow appeared in front of the table, they all looked to see the Time Patroller with part of his uniform torn and panting slightly. Feeling a little fatigued, he supported himself with both of his hands on the table behind him.
"Welcome back." The Supreme Kai of Time said with a smile as she went up to him.
"You did it too! You went Super Saiyan!" Yusuke heard Marissa cheer, and he caught his breath and turned around to lean back on the table. There he saw Chronoa next to him, Marissa in front of him with a large smile, Trunks with a relieved look now that he had stopped fading away, and then just behind them he saw a female Majin with a slight grin on her face, arms crossed.
"Amber… was that you just now?" Yusuke asked.
"Bingo." Amber answered, snapping her fingers in approval. "You just fought against Future Androids Seventeen and Eighteen before Cell, in his perfect form and powered up by Towa as well. I figured I'd help… Might have overdid a bit tho, hehe."
"It's fine... " Yusuke replied, and looked at his hands, squeezing them back and forth. "Going Super Saiyan for the first time drained a lot out of me…"
"Still, thank you, Yusuke. You practically saved my life going in like that without hesitation." Trunks said for the first time. "But… that person that you met after you fought Seventeen and Eighteen… just who was he?"
"He seemed to know you." Yusuke said, facing the Supreme Kai of Time.
"Me?" She responded, pointing a finger to herself.
"He said, 'I'll come visit her soon.'"
"..."
"Supreme Kai of Time?" Marissa asked uneasily.
"Huh…? Oh, nothing. We'll worry about it later. For now, rest up Yusuke, you did really good today." Chronoa said fondly, patting the Saiyan on the shoulder.
"Once you do, I'll help you with going Super Saiyan and controlling it. If you can do what Goku and Gohan did when they fought against Cell, you'll be even more powerful." Trunks said.
Content with what happened after a few successful missions, everyone else but the Supreme Kai of Time decided to exit the Time Nest and back to TokiToki City. But unknown to everyone, a purple haze appeared on Yusuke's right hand for a brief moment before it went away.
"I was basically backed into a corner when I fought against him, and that's when first transformed. In the end, my friend helped me and we defeated Cell." Yusuke finished explaining.
"This Cell… it doesn't sound appealing at all." Erza commented.
"No… he went as far as absorbing innocent people to gain power. It was sickening." Yusuke said, causing Erza to shudder a little bit. He looked out at the window again for the first time since his story ended, and could see civilization quickly appearing with the speed the train was going. "We're almost there…"
"I'm sure you'll be okay with Crocus." Erza began to say, wanting to change the topic at hand now. "It's Fiore's capital city after all, there's bound to be interesting stuff to see."
"I don't know Erza… I'd rather be training and prepare whenever the Time Breakers attack again."
"You have time for that after this… when was the last time it was only the two of us spending time together?" Erza said, catching the Saiyan a off guard a bit. He looked at her directly to see with a slight, saddened look in her eyes before she looked down at her clasped hands. "I would think taking some time to relax would help you, given how it's been lately."
He instantly felt bad now that he thought about it. Yusuke had mostly been training ever since Ann and Marissa arrived on Earthland and even then, all that time wasn't enough. It was proven when Black suddenly showed up on Edolas and fought against Yusuke with the Time Patroller losing. Not even mastering the second state of the Super Saiyan could defeat him. Who knows how it would've happened between him and Ann as well, if it wasn't for the Time Breakers interfering... but somehow, he found some grace that happened. If they didn't, Yusuke was sure that Black would have done a lot more worse if he stayed.
"Okay…" Yusuke relented. "You win, I'll focus on everything else, and enjoy myself."
"Thank you, Yusuke…" Erza sighed in relief, and the train continued making its way to Crocus.
Being the capital of Fiore, Crocus was bustling with people and merchants going around the city constantly. Compared to Magnolia, it was much larger and busier than what the Saiyan was used to. He was following Erza, and was constantly having to move his body from side to side to avoid bumping into people as they headed towards the opposite direction. Yusuke looked around his surroundings more, and saw little difference between the buildings of Crocus and Magnolia, as they were built out of stone, street lamps on the stone sidewalk, and then the stone pavement where wagons and horses rode on.
Basically just stone and brick everywhere in his mind.
"Where are we going?" Yusuke asked.
"Anywhere. I haven't been here much myself yet." Erza answered, and went to wrap one of her hands around his. "So, let's enjoy our time here before we head back."
Yusuke looked directly at Erza, taking in her smile and features before he smiled back at her. "Alright, sounds good."
Erza was the one who led him around mostly around the city. There was the occasional general store selling simple items people use on a daily basis. The home-feeling type of restaurants at almost every corner they turned with some of the more fancier ones popping out of the fray. Of course, there were bakeries that caught Erza's attention more than anything else, and they ended up going to almost all of them to see if they had any of her favorite items to try out.
The day went on with them exploring most of Crocus until it reached the beginning of dusk. The townspeople began to scatter to their respective homes on the street. Local stalls began to clean up and pack themselves away for the day, and any tourists that have come to visit the city as well either began going back to the inns they rented in, still lingering about to go to bars or restaurants, or catching the last few trains heading out.
Yusuke and Erza were still casually walking on the streets as the posts suddenly lit up to life, lighting up the streets of Crocus for the night. Currently, they didn't feel like leaving yet, and was wondering in their mind as to what to do.
"With all this walking around, I'm feeling pretty famished right about now." Yusuke said.
"I agree… dinner does sound good right about now." Erza responded.
"Are you really hungry though? Since you've eaten all of those cakes earlier."
"I certainly can't go without a hearty meal today. Come, let's go look." Erza said, and with their hands still linked together, they both began to look for a restaurant they'd be interested in.
They both turned into a corner with Erza talking about one restaurant that caught her attention earlier in the day. But as they continued walking along the sidewalk, just from an alleyway they've walked next to, a person came running from the shadows, bumping into Yusuke just as he was being led by Erza by his arm. The figure fell on the ground, and both Fairy Tail members heard a feminine yelp as she did so.
Looking closer, they could see beautiful green colored hair that looked to be natural, reaching just below her beck, and wore a small, light green, sleeveless dress that was dirtied all over. She had no footwear and a few bruises could be seen on her feet and legs. Her hands and wrists were currently bound with cloth, tight enough that they can both see purple on her skin near her wrists from the little light they were given from the streetlamps.
"A-Are you okay?!" Erza quickly bent down to the young girl, holding her arms. The girl looked up, and her face was seen to be dirtied as well. But looking past that, she was indeed young, and looked to be in her teens.
"P-Please! Help me!" She cried out.
"Let's hurry somewhere else." Erza quickly said, and both her and the young girl rushed somewhere else with Yusuke following just behind them.
All three of them arrived in front of a closed store with a canopy on top. The young girl panted heavily having already had to run before bumping into both Fairy Tail members, and couldn't help but collapse to the ground. Erza bent down near her again and requipped a small dagger from her pocket dimension.
"Here, let me free you." Erza offered, and took the girl's hands to cut the cloth that bounded her.
"Thank you…" She said in relief, twisting her wrists constantly, showing signs that they've likely been still for a while now.
"... so do you have a name?" Yusuke asked.
"U-Uhm…" The young girl shifted her eyes away nervously.
"It's okay." Erza said reassuringly.
"H-Hisui... " She answered, shocking the redhead.
"Hisui…? As in… Hisui E. Fiore?!" Erza exclaimed.
"Do you know her, Erza?" The Saiyan asked, and Hisui perked up when he revealed the redhead's name.
"Yes… not personally, but, almost everyone living in this country does. She's the princess of our country, and daughter to King Toma E. Fiore." Erza answered, turning her head towards him.
"Erza… as in Erza Scarlet of Fairy Tail?" Hisui asked with some hope.
"Yes, that's right, and this is Yusuke." Erza introduced. "We were just in Crocus spending the day together."
"... I got a feeling that our day together might not go on peacefully anymore. What's the princess of this country doing running around in alleyways with her hands tied?" Yusuke asked.
"I… I might have been abducted while trying to sneak out of the castle." Hisui answered uneasily.
"Might have?" Yusuke questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"Yusuke…!" Erza chided.
"It's okay, he's right… I was kidnapped after being kept in the castle the entire day." Hisui explained. "For some reason the guards didn't allow me to leave the premises, and I was tired of being kept inside the entire day. So I happen to snuck out… but that's when I ran into several other people that looked entirely suspicious. Next thing I knew my vision went all dark with the blindfold they tied on me and pulled me away."
"How did you escape?"
"The blindfold came loose and I only saw a couple of them guarding me. I was down in the sewers when I looked around… and when I saw my chance to escape I took it. Before I ran into you guys I think I managed to lose them."
"A kidnapping of the Princess of Fiore… one could definitely become richer by doing that." Erza said in thought.
"I was careless… but those back at the castle most likely wouldn't want me to worry. That might be why they didn't tell me anything."
"No doubt they're on alert at the moment with your presence gone. But rest assured, we'll bring you back safely." Erza stated.
"I thought we were gonna get something to eat…" Yusuke said, off to the side. Unfortunately, it wasn't missed by his girlfriend and he was met with a glare.
"I said, we will bring her back. Understood?" Erza said through her teeth, emphasizing each word punctually.
"... Okay." He gulped.
"Thank you both… thank you so much." Hisui said with small tears forming at the corner of her eyes.
"The castle shouldn't be too far. It'll be faster if we flew." Erza suggested, looking towards the the tallest towers in the distance, residing in the middle of the city.
"Flew?" The Princess asked, and Erza began to glow brightly. She used her requip magic to replace the blouse she wore to her normal Heart-Kreuz armor.
"If you'll allow me, let me carry you." Erza offered, but didn't exactly wait for a response as she began to place her arms under Hisui's knees and back.
"U-Uhm… okay…" Hisui stuttered.
As soon as Erza fully stood up with the Princess in her arms, small grey orbs dropped onto the ground near them, engulfing them in a smokescreen and covering their vision. Both Fairy Tail member's senses flared as they felt several people coming in towards them.
"To the air!" Yusuke shouted, and leaped up into sky, high enough so that the smoke didn't reach him. Erza was seen with Hisui in her arms a moment later, and matched the Saiyan's height in the air.
"W-Whoa… we really are flying!" Hisui exclaimed, holding onto Erza by her neck, and anxiously looked down.
All three saw the smoke clear up to see four people in black clothing and masks, looking around confusingly.
"That's them…" Hisui said.
"There's more of them hiding… " Yusuke said.
"Can you handle it?" Erza asked.
"No problem." He nodded, and flickered out of sight.
"... where did her go?" Hisui asked.
"Just down there." Erza replied, and they both looked down to see the Saiyan already knocking out three of them, and was currently making his way towards the fourth.
Chains erupted from the ground and every other direction, wrapping Yusuke's entire body and limbs. The Saiyan looked around him to see more of the abductors reveal themselves with their arms outstretched, and a dim orange glow was seen on them. Looking closer at each of them, he could only make out their eyes that were fixated on him while everywhere else on their body was mostly covered.
"Give the Princess back and we'll let him go!" One of them said, spotting Erza in the air with Hisui.
"I refuse!" Erza responded almost immediately, catching some of the kidnappers off guard. "Yusuke, what are you waiting for?"
"Nothing wrong with… I don't know, letting them have a chance?" Yusuke said unsurely.
"... you mean toying with them…" Erza said in exasperation and with a sweatdrop.
"Yeah! That's it." If he could, Yusuke would snap his fingers at the correct statement. Instead, he allowed his power to rage around him as he easily broke off the chains, surprising the kidnappers even further.
The Saiyan began dispatching them one after another as each of them fell unconscious. In just a short amount of time of, there was a pile of knocked out bodies on top of one another, and Yusuke threw the last of them nearby. Groaning can be heard from them that the Saiyan merely shrugged off.
Erza landed on the ground with Hisui, the latter touching the ground and went to observe her kidnappers. They still had their masks on, and couldn't exactly move from the condition that Yusuke put them in.
Suddenly, sounds of armor clanking and marching could be heard from everyone, and from all the directions of the streets, soldiers of Crocus began surrounding the area with the Princess, Fairy Tail members and the abductors in it. Among all of the soldiers, Hisui recognized one in particular that stood out from the normal troop as he was more built and taller, and was cladded in more armor.
"Arcadios!" Hisui cried out in joy.
"Princess…! Thank goodness you're safe!" Arcadios said in relief. He and the other soldiers had arrived with him running towards Hisui to check on her. But he didn't miss the bodies all piled up not too far. "Arrest them!"
With the Knight's command, the soldiers responded with a shout and several began pulling the kidnappers away, taking their masks off and binding them.
"Arcadios-" Hisui started, but was interrupted.
"What were you thinking?! We've had eyewitnesses saying you were climbing out of the castle. Do you have any idea how worried the King is?!" Arcadios scolded.
"M-My apologies…" Hisui apologized shamefully, and the Knight looked over at the nearby Fairy Tail members.
"These are…"
"They're the ones who helped me. They're from Fairy Tail."
"I see... " Arcadios went up to them both. "I certainly recognize Erza Scarlet, but…"
"Yes, you're right. This is Yusuke Yasai, sir." Erza introduced.
"Yusuke Yasai… yes, I remember now. I've heard about you… how you're the one who rejected becoming a Wizard Saint by the Council."
"... Is that how people are going to know me by?" Yusuke uttered irritably.
"Yes, you're right once again. That is him…" Erza said with a sweatdrop.
"Then I have the both of you to eternally thank. We've had information that there was a plan to kidnap and ransom off the Princess, and we had to ensure her safety. I'm glad things didn't go as plan for them." Arcadios said, looking towards the group of kidnappers who were now forced to stay standing while they were formed into a line and cuffed by the soldiers. "In any case, we need to hurry back to the castle. Otherwise we won't hear the end of the King's drabble…"
"I-I suppose I really shouldn't keep Father waiting then…" Hisui said, and as soon as the soldiers began to lead the kidnappers away, her and Arcadios began following as well. "Thank you, the both of you! I'll be sure to owe you the favor if the both of you need it!"
Yusuke and Erza bidded farewell, and watched as they all left towards the King's palace,
"I'm not gonna lie, I was expecting more of a fight." Yusuke commented.
"You can't be serious… against you?" Erza sighed.
"Well, maybe a bit more flare on their part…" The Saiyan said, and looked to see as he felt Erza grab his arm.
"Come on… let's continue finding that restaurant to go eat."
"Now we're talking." Yusuke said with a grin, and the both of them continued walking the town in the evening.
"That was refreshing." Erza said, opening the door to her's and Yusuke's room at an inn and entering.
"Kind of glad you didn't take us anywhere fancy… that would been boring." Yusuke said, entering into the room right behind her.
"You're right… nothing wrong with that, though, we have only ever ate elegant food when it was the two of us going out. It is nice of a change." Erza replied, and headed towards the restroom. She closed the door behind her and a shower can be heard by the Patroller on the outside.
Yusuke unzipped his gray jacket and took off his boots, unceremoniously throwing them on the carpet floor. They had rented a room at the nearest inn next to the casual family type of restaurant, and had a relaxing dinner with what Erza had exactly wanted: hearty, warm, and filling.
'The two of us… well, including Mira too.' Yusuke thought, sitting down at the edge of the bed, and faced the wall.
His mind began drifting away as he thought of the current situation he was in again. From coming into Earthland, from dealing with Towa, to losing against Black. But he shook his head to get rid of the images and leaned back on the bed with his hands supporting him.
'Erza's right… maybe I should relax more. Still, I just hope the others on Earth are fine. I wonder what they're up to…' He thought, and looked up towards the ceiling aimlessly.
Soon, the shower in the bathroom stopped, and sounds of curtains sliding could be heard from within. Erza stepped out onto the tile floor, and began drying herself off with the towel provided on the rack. Eventually, she wrapped her hair up with the towel so that it didn't get in the way, and looked at herself in the mirror. Erza worked her magic as a glow covered her body, and a moment later she was revealed in black lingerie, only covering her breasts and pelvis. The materials were lace, so you could see through them with the bra pushing her breasts together while her panties seemed to look a bit tight, but firm on her.
'Would he like this…?' Erza wondered with a blush as she posed. Her heart began to race as her mind went back to the erotic novels she's read very often, mainly between a couple and how heated it was getting between them that eventually lead to…
Erza bit her lip and huffed, cursing herself slightly that her head went to such thoughts, but didn't find herself ironically and possibly doing the same things soon. 'Mira isn't here either… it-it'd only be the both of us…'
Her blush reddened even further and when she looked in the mirror again to see the towel still wrapped around her hair, she went ahead and took it off. Erza's hair went in all directions around her head as it fell down, and she shook her head as well as using her hands to fix it so that it was all swept back behind her. A few strands still stood out in front of her considering how short they were, and Erza couldn't help but chuckle lightly to herself.
'It's almost the first time I saw Yusuke, his hair almost similar to this.' She thought, and positioned her damp hair so that part of it was styled to the side, mainly on her right. The long strands that was usually positioned on either of her face was now present and her usual bangs were now on her forehead that covered more of her right side than left. Her current look was her usual everyday style, only difference was that her hair was still damp and it looked a bit more unkempt. 'He wouldn't mind this, would he?'
Taking one last look at herself in the mirror, Erza nodded in confidence and slowly opened the bathroom door, feeling the cold air as opposed to the heat of the steam from her shower she had taken. Taking a peek out of the restroom, she saw Yusuke sitting on the edge of the bed they would share for the night with his arms behind him, facing away from her. She exited out fully and slowly creeped up on him as she climbed the bed. Ignoring the fact that he hadn't reacted to her coming out or going on the bed, she went to wrap her arms around his upper chest and pressed herself up against his back, slightly catching him off guard as he began to sat upright.
"Is something the matter?" Erza asked, resting her head next to his.
"No, I'm fine… when did you finish?" Yusuke asked, smelling the clean soap and shampoo permeating from her.
"Just a few moments ago, you really must have been out of it if you're asking that."
"..."
"Are you really thinking about training again?"
"No, well, not entirely. I just keep thinking back to how everything is right now."
"Worried for your other friends?"
"Yeah... that especially." Yusuke responded, and he felt Erza squeeze tighter. At this point, he turned his head around, causing Erza to bring her own head back and out of the way. He widened his eyes at the current clothing his girlfriend was wearing, only seeing a bra and her panties that he could clearly see through of as well as her bountiful breast. Yusuke looked up to directly look at Erza, seeing an embarrassed blush on her, and soon he could feel his own cheeks heating up.
"You're making it embarrassing for me if you just keep staring like that…"
"Erza… u-uh-mmf!" Erza took the initiative and closed the space between their lips as she went and kissed him.
She slowly guided him further into the bed and laid him down fully with her on top of him. They finished the kiss as they both looked at each in the eyes.
"It's been awhile… and it's just the two of us…" Erza said rather sultrily.
"You're starting to act like Mira now-ow!" Yusuke said, but was pinched in the cheeks by the redhead.
"And what exactly do you mean by that?" There was a slight glare coming from her as her eyes darkened a bit before they widened. "... don't tell me you two have-"
"N-No! W-We haven't… it, it was still just the last time the three of us, well, you know…" He quickly said.
"O-Oh… of course…"
"..."
"..."
"I can tell you put in some effort… do you… want to?" Yusuke said, now exploring Erza's body with his eyes.
"I'm glad you think so… and considering it's only you and me right now, I…" Erza's breath became heavy . 'Damn it, to hell with it!'
Without wasting another second, Erza went in for another kiss on top of him as her hands gripped his shoulders. Yusuke's arms wrapped around her slender figure as he returned the kiss eagerly. Soon, they parted their lips again as their breathing became heavy.
"... Shouldn't I shower?" He asked.
"... no." Erza replied with haste, and draped the both of them with the blanket on the bed.
The capital of Fiore slept under the night and starry sky along with many other residents within it. Crocus was peaceful for the remainder of evening that would eventually have the sun rise up from the distance, starting the day anew.
Nah, no lemons/smut this chapter. Ya'll can just use your imagination, it's more of a one and done kind of thing for me in this story at least.
It actually took me a bit of time to get the flashback going how I wanted to but i think it turned out alright. Lemme know what you guys think.
But yes, Hisui has now met the two at a fortunate turn of events this turn. Wonder how this will affect the future?
Not much else to say but I don't know when I'll update this the next time. But there WILL be an update, and an update of something which you will all read as another chapter. So don't worry.
I've also been getting quite a bit of emails of people following me, the story as well as favoriting, so thank you all for doing so! I really appreciate the support given that you guys would enjoy my fic and for that, well, I already said it but thank you again!
Yeah, once again I'm aware the DBS has "ended" or on a "hiatus", whichever ya'll want to call it. But looking at the trailer of the new movie has me excited. Last few episodes of DBS were amazing and godly in my opinion, I do wish that kept up the series. There's so much more potential but stopping for a movie? I think I can way around 8 more months for it. If I could, I'd have it where we get continuous DBS episodes as well as the new upcoming DBS movie being worked on while all being amazing at the same time. That's something that most people would want, including me haha.
Thank you all once more.
Until then~
