Lina Inverse, a Saiyan!

Chapter 2: Dinner at Son house

Curious eyes looked upon Lina. In a confident tone, Lina introduced herself as "the beautiful sorcery genius, Lina Inverse." Before anymore conversation could take place, Goku interrupted with "When will dinner be ready?" ChiChi said tolerantly "It will be done in a few minutes." Goku with his characteristic smile leaned down to whisper in Lina's ear "Want to show me some of your magic outside?" Lina wondered why Goku was whispering, but if she only knew ChiChi better that any sort of thing close to the activity of sparring was not to be allowed that close to dinner time. Walking quietly to the forest near the home, Lina went through a repertoire of her small attacks such as a mono-volt and a flare arrow. She told Goku that she would demonstrate the bigger spells in the Room of Spirit and Time.

Lina and Goku were unaware at that moment that Cell was observing them from the shadows. Intrigued, he looked at this short red-haired girl in fascination. The aura she was giving off was somewhat different than the others. Still gazing at Lina as she walked back to the house, he made the decision not to kill her right away. "If she proves herself strong, I will possess her" Cell thought smirking arrogantly to himself as he ran rapidly back to the arena.

In the Son household, ChiChi and Gohan were staring in amazement at how much food Lina was consuming because it was close to the same amount as Goku and with the same table manners. After all the food was consumed with nary a crumb to be seen, Goku casually said "ChiChi, I am going back in the Room of Spirit and Time to train Lina." Gohan was looking at his mother expecting a huge outburst, but instead of long loud lecture of no you can't go she nodded her assent calmly. ChiChi replied "As long as Gohan does not go back in." A little while later, Lina went to bed. Lina was in a deep sleep when a person appeared to her in her dreams. The image of a person was slowly taking shape. It became clear when Lina saw this strange creature. Lina inquired "Who are you?" in a confident tone not the least bit afraid. The creature waited a few suspense-filled seconds then replied "I am Cell." while gazing upon her with an expression that made Lina uneasy. "Why are you here?" Lina said. "You will find out at the games" Cell said as he slowly disappeared. Lina woke up slightly gasping for breathe. Deep in her thoughts, she shivered with foreboding because of that look in that things eyes. It took her a while to go back to sleep.

After a large breakfast, Goku teleported them to the lookout. Piccolo and Trunks were there meditating quietly until Goku and Lina appeared. Trunks was burning with curiosity because he did not get to question Lina on where she was from. He approached her and asked "Where are you from?" Since it would be a few more hours until Vegeta got out of the chamber, she told them about her dimension. An hour later Trunks was staring at this girl in amazement at her life story. This petite red-haired sorceress had killed three major demons that lived in her world. He really wished he could meet her friends that she described especially the chimera, Zelgadis. Goku was looking at the girl with relief because she might be the one to save us if we cannot beat Cell on our own. Their thoughts were interrupted when Vegeta emerged from the room.

Chapter 3 Goku and Lina in the Room of Spirit and Time: A Few Months of Training and an Unexpected Visitor

Goku and Lina entered the room. Lina was gazing upon the whiteness and was somewhat reminded of the area where she was fighting Valgaav except this place was more intimidating. Shaking off these thoughts, she approached Goku at the edge of the house they were going to be living in for a year. As she went down the steps, she collapsed with a groan because of the intense gravity and atmosphere. She thought silently to herself "This is going to be a long, long year."

After a few months, she was able to train in the room with little trouble. Goku approached her with a request to demonstrate her major spells. Quietly, Lina gathered her energy to prepare the spells. With a firm and confident voice, she began to chant the words "Darkness beyond twilight...Crimson beyond blood that flows...Buried in the stream of time...Is where your power grows...I pledge myself to conquer all the foes who stand...Against the mighty gift bestowed in my unworthy hand. DRAGON SLAVE!" She released the energy from her hands, then, unexpectedly someone appeared before her. The person jumped out of the way in time. Lina recognized the individual with some exasperation. Lina grabbed the person and said "Xellos, you fruitcake, what are you doing here?" while she had him in a headlock. Goku watched the action curiously. He was about to interrupt and intervene when Lina noticed something in Xellos's cloak. Grabbing it quickly, she yelled "Xellos, what are you doing with the Sword of Light?" He was about to say his trademark line but instead replied "The Lord of Nightmares wanted me to give this to you and by the way, I will be staying here with you." Lina fell over in shock because he actually gave a straight answer while Xellos was smiling in amusement. Lina saw the smile and had an idea. Smiling innocently Lina whispered in a low voice the words "Sword of cold, dark void...free yourself from the heavens' bonds! Become one with my power, one with my body...And let us walk the path of destruction together! Power that can smash even the souls of the Gods! RAGNA BLADE!" Fortunately for Xellos, he shifted out of the blade's path with a smirk upon his features. Lina sighed with frustration because she missed. After training a few more hours, she went to bed thinking "with Xellos here, I hope I can stand the next few months without vaporizing him."
