Alternate Cell Game
Chapter 1 - Startling Revelations
By: Emerald Star
I was falling through the darkness, only with the sense that I was falling, for I could not hear or see. I could not smell or taste anything. The only sense this place left to me was the sense of touch. But that was more of a curse that a blessing, for it was being overloaded with sensory impute of pain and agony.
How long had I been here? What had happened to put me here? I couldn't remember anything, except my name. I kept repeating it over and over in my mind, thinking to myself that if I stopped it was all to possible that even that would slip from me.
Suddenly I felt something weird. The pain... it had stopped. What the...
My back hit a solid object. I could hear what sounded to me like a shout after so long without sound but really was the low murmur of people talking. Wait a minute... I could... hear?
Slowly I opened my eyes as well. I looked up to see two big black eyes. Needless to say, I screamed.
The eyes looked surprised and left my view with black hair streaking behind them.
"That's weird, I thought only two people could be in the Room of Spirit and Time at once," said a deep male voice.
"Well, she didn't exactly come in through the door, Otou-san," said the voice of a young boy.
I pushed myself up to see the spiky blonde haired father speaking to his ragged black haired son. They were wearing the weirdest armor I had ever seen.
"Well, I guess it's okay as long as she doesn't interfere with our training," he said, looking over at me. "So, what's your name?"
"Uh...Emerarudo, Hoshi Emerarudo*," I replied.
"Emerald Star, huh? Well, I'm Son Goku," the spiky blonde haired man said. He put his left hand on the black haired kids shoulder, "And this is Son Gohan."
"Yoroshku," I say, getting up and bowing to them.
"Yoroshku," they both say, bowing back. As they straighten up, they notice for the first time my brown bushy tail that was flicking behind me. Goku and Gohan both look slightly shocked. "Saiya-jin...," Goku replies, his eyes following the back and forth motion of my tail.
"Nani?" I cock my head at them.
Gohan looks me up and down with his eyes twice and tugs on his fathers sleeve. "Uh... Otou-san, I don't think she's just any ordinary Saiya-jin. I think she's a Super Saiya-jin," he says, pointing at my spiky blonde hair.
"So... um... What's a Saiya-jin?" I watch as they face vault at my question. I laugh tensely as I rub the back of my head.
"Uh... well you see, a Saiya-jin...," Goku continues on in this vain for about two to three hours well I relearn everything that had been ready information to me many years ago. As they start talking about other things, my memory comes back in shattered pieces.
"So, how'd you get in here?" Goku cocked his head.
"I made a deal with Kami-sama and asked if I could train in here. I accidentally forgot about the time limit and the door disappeared. That's when something really weird happened and the whole place got pitch black."
"What was the deal?" Now it was Gohan's turn to cock his head.
I wink at him. "I'd tell ya, but it's a secret."
All right," Goku pointed over my shoulder, "unless you want to stay in here and train with us for a few months, the doors that way."
I think it over. "Why are you training?"
Goku went in-depth on the subject for an hour. "Then me and Gohan got to use the chamber."
"Fascinating! I haven't had a good fight in years! I'll stay here if you don't mind. I'd like to pick up a couple of those moves you were talking about, like that flying technique."
Goku looked at me kind of funny. "Ok, just don't get in our way."
"Alright." I walked a few yards to the left. I sat down in a meditative pose and waited for them to continue.
"Don't you think that's a bit close?"
"Na, I'll be fine," I continue to watch them.
"Ok, but don't say I didn't warn you." Gohan went SSJ and the two started to try and land a punch on the other. They both were moving around at incredible speeds, but I was not the least shocked or surprised by this.
Gohan finally landed a punch on Goku in the face, but left himself open to Goku kneeing him in the midriff. I continued to watch as the two progressed the warm-up into an all-out whose-ki-blast-is-stronger contest.
In the end Gohan finally got knocked unconscious. Goku was picking Gohan up when he looked over at me for the first time since they had started. I stood up flawlessly from the position I had been in. Smiling I motioned towards the kitchen, "That was really good. I'll make a specialty for you guys."
*---*---*---*---*---* A few hours later in America *---*---*---*---*
Robin Kreen felt a large ki, no two large ki's. A second later as she checked again there was another large ki with the other two. Her new abilities that had awakened just two hours ago made her feel so weird. ::I wonder... should I go to them? They might just be Sailor Senshi like myself...::
Deciding yes, Robin made sure no one was home and went into the back yard. She took off the necklace around her neck and held it by the round emerald pendant into the air above her. "COSMIC JUPITER POWER! MAKE-UP!" Emerald green and silver energy swirled out of the center of her pendant and wrapped around her like ribbons around a pendant. Raising her into the air, Robin curled into a fetal position and closed her eyes as the energy covered her body, seeming to cover it entirely until she was completely covered. The energy seemed to solidify in certain area's and sink into her in other places.
The energy dropped her lightly onto the ground as she uncurled, revealing her in a Sailor Fuku. The main body piece was silver, the triangle-shaped cowl was emerald green, as well as her skirt and a slip of ribbon around her neck, acting like a choker. She had emerald green ankle boots with silver laces, elbow length gloves that were silver with green bunches of material protecting her elbows. A pink bow connected her body piece to her skirt and another pink bow connected the cowl to the body piece. Nestled in the center of that bow was the emerald sphere from her pendant with eight silver stars in bold array on the surface. A beam of light caught and reflected off of the silver tiara on her forehead, an emerald star prominent in the center. Her bright dark blue ringed sky blue eyes opened as the breeze caught and played with her dark brown low ponytail.
Turning, she faced the west. "SAILOR TELEPORT!" Emerald Green energy collected around her as she closed her eyes. The dust on the ground hovered into the air and the energy beam became so dense you couldn't see the girl in the center. The beam elongated and disappeared into the sky, taking the girl with it.
*---*---*---*---* At Kami-sama's Look Out *---*---*---*---*
"Is that Gohan? He's totally different," said Piccolo.
"What the..." Trunks said, looking over his shoulder.
An emerald green light pillar was glowing there, with a figure just touching down onto the ground from in the center.
A squeal of delight came from behind Gohan and Goku as a girl dressed in a neon-green shirt and pants suit with a vest in the same color with gold stylization on them came running and jumped on the new comer, who fell down on her butt. The new comer's skirt lifted just enough for the entire crowd watching to get a glimpse of her underwear. Her brown bushy tail whipped back and forth as Emerald looked down on the pinned girl. "Cosmic Sailor Jupiter-chan!"
"Hoshi Emerarudo! What are you doing here? Who are these people? How come your still alive?"
"Well, excuse me for living!" Emerald humphed and got up and off the floored Cosmic Senshi. When Cosmic Sailor Jupiter finally got her feet under her, Emerald shoved her playfully away from her.
Cosmic Sailor Jupiter laughed weakly, "Gomen, gomen! I'm surprised, that's all." She looked up distrustfully at the other people, her eyes wondering over them and staying locked on Piccolo as she said, "So, who are these people? And what, prey tell, is a Namekian doing on Earth?"
Pointing at them as she says there names, "Well, I only know Gohan and Goku personally, but from descriptions they gave me, I'm guessing that those people are Piccolo, Mr. Popo, Yamcha, Krillen, Tienshinhan, Trunks who is the son of that guy over there and he's from the future. Also, that guy is the current Ouji-sama of my planet, Vegita."
"Honto?"
"Honto."
"A real planetary prince?"
"That's what I gather."
"Oh, that's just great. You know full well what I have to do about things like that," Cosmic Sailor Jupiter looked over at Vegita and sighed. "Damn it, I hate doing this."
Sensing an impending fight, Vegita and the others (except Goku and Gohan who are just looking on) went into fighting crouches. Cosmic Sailor Jupiter just snorted at that and closed her eyes and focused a little on her clothes.
The group watched as her clothes did a transformation into a dress that was obviously not suited for combat. Opening her eyes, those who had noted the color of her eyes before could have sworn that they had changed color, for now they were the color green. The light pink satin dress clung to her body, showing all of her curves. Almost gliding, she walked slowly over to the stunned, crouched Prince.
"As the last princess of the Silver Millennium, advisor in the court to her highness Neo-Queen Serenity during the Golden Millennium, I formally welcome you to Earth. Ouji-sama of Vegita-sei, you and your entourage are welcomed here as a foreign dignitary and ruling monarch of an allied planet."
Vegita blinked a few times. ::My god, this woman is weird.::
Cosmic Sailor Jupiter de-transformed into her Senshi state after she gave the 'formal address'. "So, what is a group of Saiya-jin's, a Namekian, and from what I can tell the strongest humans doing here on the Lookout?"
Emerald Star piped up, "From the stories I heard from Goku there's this really powerful threat to Earth that's rampaging around and their here to train in the Room of Spirit and Time to become strong enough to beat him."
"Honto? This place has really changed since I was here last time. A lot more homey if you ask me."
Emerald Star looks around for the first time. "I think I have to agree with you there, Jupie-chan."
A pained look crossed the other girl's face. "Please, Hoshi, don't call me that."
"Thank you," Mr. Popo pipes up.
"That's weird Piccolo, I thought no human ever met Kami-sama until recently," Goku states, for the first time actually saying something smart that didn't involve fighting. (Like, this is a once in a life time thing for him people!)
"Well, I've never met these two, but the old Kami-sama I took over for might have. But that's impossible since that would make each of them over ten thousand years old...," Piccolo trailed off.
Cosmic Sailor Jupiter looked over at Piccolo. "Oh, did you meet Folknar as well?" Piccolo seemed a bit shock.
"Yes, but that was ten thousand years ago... He died shortly after."
Her eyes changed from blue to a light purple, "How'd he die?" Her eyes narrowed. "You didn't kill him, did you?"
"No, no, he died of old age." Piccolo was waving his hands in front of him, backing away slightly from this weird girl. He felt something really powerful about her that didn't come from ki.
Her eyes went back to the regular sky blue and progressed slightly into the green range. "Sorry, I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions. May Folknar live happily in heaven now."
She looked back at Emerald Star as her eyes go back to solid sky blue. "So, how come you're alive? Last thing I heard about you, Folknar told me you stayed to long in the Room of Spirit and Time and I never saw you in the afterlife when I came to visit."
"Well, I have a theory that when the door disappeared, the room kind of throws whoever's still in it into an alternate parallel dimension that runs really slow compared to real time. Well Gohan and Goku were training, the energy they were expelling was of such a magnitude that it put a strain on the Room's dimension. In order to keep the room stable, it shoved the excess energy towards the barrier between the two dimensions. As more energy was concentrated, it eventually tore a whole in the fabric of the barrier and I slid out into the dimension of the Room."
"If I remember correctly, something like that happened to a convict during the Silver Millennium. But he was completely crazy when he came out of the alternate dimension. Kept convulsing as if he was being stabbed by thousands of knives and screaming bloody murder the whole time."
Trunks finally got his voice back, "Who are you people? And how come that one looks like a Saiya-jin?" He was pointing rather rudely at Emerald Star.
"I'm Cosmic Sailor Jupiter. After an argument with my superiors I was given the curse of multiple reincarnations. During one of those reincarnations I found a space-pod in my back-yard with her in it."
"I was about ten at the time when it was decided I should go to a foreign planet to get it ready for buying. I'm full Saiya-jin, though I don't look it. On the way, the pod got hit by a passing asteroid and threw me off course. I hit my head really hard against one of the side panels and lost unconsciousness. When I woke up I was in a strange room with her looking after me. For a few years I didn't remember anything about who I was or where I came from. When I was thirteen I asked her if there was any way she knew that I could get back those memories. That's when she told me about Folknar and one thing led to another and now I'm here."
"Whoa... you guys must be some of the weirdest people on this world," Trunks replied. "Anyway, Goku," he turned towards the Super Saiya-jin and fills him in on what has happened in the last day. "Cell's holding a tournament somewhere in ten days. Do you think you can beat him?"
"I don't now. I haven't seen him in his Perfect form yet. I'll go visit him and tell you." Goku raises his index and middle finger to his head and fazes out after a few seconds. Surprisingly though, he fazes right back in exactly were he had been before he had fazed out.
Goku looks up and blinks in surprise. "Whoa, that's weird..." Everyone looks at him funnily.
"That was quick, Otou-san," Gohan replies.
"But I never saw him!"
"What do you mean, you never saw him?" Yamcha looks very surprised.
"Well, I locked onto the strongest ki and did the Instantaneous Movement technique, but I fazed back in here."
"That must mean that some one here is stronger than Cell!" Krillen looked really happy as he made that announcement. Grabbing Gohan by the forearms, he started doing a ring-around-the-rosi dance.
"Yeah, but who?" Piccolo brought a stop to Krillen's victory dance.
All eyes looked at Goku. "What?"
"Who is it?!" Everyone screams/asks at him.
"Sheesh, give me a sec...," Goku brought his index and middle finger to his forehead again. "Hmmm... Got 'em!" He looked up at the others. "I'll transport close to the one that has the highest power." With that he fazes out.
Cosmic Sailor Jupiter and Emerald Star both jump slightly as Goku fazes back right in-between them. Goku looks up at them. "Well, it seems to be one of these two. Emerald, could you please walk to the left and Jupiter, could you please walk to the right till your both at the end of the platform?" They both complied and Goku fazes out again.
Surprisingly enough though he fazes right back in the exact middle of the two. Looking up at the crowd. "Umm... I can't tell which one is stronger." He laughs and puts his hand behind his head and rubs the back of his neck. "Sorry guys."
Piccolo looks thoughtful. "Son, each time you fazed, you were in the exact middle of them. Could it be possible that they have the same level?"
Goku blinks for a few moments. "Hey, your right! They have the same level, but since I don't know either of them well enough, I can't lock onto the individual unless their a quarter of a planet away from each other!"
"Hey Emerald! Watch this!" everyone looks over to the shouting Cosmic Sailor as she raises her index and middle finger to her forehead. After a few seconds, she fazes out. Fazing back in right next to Emerald she laughs gaily. "Man, what a rush!" She smiles wickedly and her sky blue eyes twinkle merrily, "I guess I'm going to win from now on when we play hide-and-seek."
Emerald pouts, "No fair!" Suddenly she perks up. "But you'd have to tag me first!" Emerald Star flies out of arm reach above Cosmic Sailor Jupiter's head.
"Were doomed," Krillen flatly states as he watches the playing teenagers.
*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*
* Hoshi Emerarudo-That's her name when converted roughly into Japanese. Backwards, it means Emerald Star.
Well, that's the end for Chapter 1. Tell me how you liked it! Oh, and could some one tell me how you spell the short bald dude's name correctly? I'd really like to get the spelling right in the next chapter.

Piccolo looks thoughtful. "Son, each time you fazed, you were in the exact middle of them. Could it be possible that they have the same level?"
Goku blinks for a few moments. "Hey, your right! They have the same level, but since I don't know either of them well enough, I can't lock onto the individual unless their a quarter of a planet away from each other!"
"Hey Emerald! Watch this!" everyone looks over to the shouting Cosmic Sailor as she raises her index and middle finger to her forehead. After a few seconds, she fazes out. Fazing back in right next to Emerald she laughs gaily. "Man, what a rush!" She smiles wickedly and her sky blue eyes twinkle merrily, "I guess I'm going to win from now on when we play hide-and-seek."
Emerald pouts, "No fair!" Suddenly she perks up. "But you'd have to tag me first!" Emerald Star flies out of arm reach above Cosmic Sailor Jupiter's head.
"Were doomed," Krillen flatly states as he watches the playing teenagers.

* Hoshi Emerarudo-That's her name when converted roughly into Japanese. Backwards, it means Emerald Star.
Well, that's the end for Chapter 1. Tell me how you liked it! Oh, and could some one tell me how you spell the short bald dude's name correctly? I'd really like to get the spelling right in the next chapter.
