Author's note(Wow, it feels weird to write that. O.o): Hi, everyone! Umm...
What can I say now? This is my first attempt at a fic and it's not all that
good... That's more of a warning, isn't it? But, anyways, read and review.
Tell me what you think. This is inspired by Masquerade's epic, Unholy
Crusade, so if it sounds very familiar to it, then I am very, very, very,
truly sorry. Please forgive me. I just am not a writer. And give me your
honest opinions please. If you don't like this, tell me why so that I may
make any changes to make it better. Comments like, "Oh, this sucks!", "You
really can't write!" will be ignored if without reason. Thanx, all. ^_^
Disclaimer: I do not own Dragonball Z or any of the characters from DBZ. However, I do own Sekai and any other unfamiliar names and characters. So don't take them please. And if you do want them, then ask me first please.

"Oh, my god...," she murmured.
Sekai stared at the sight of Ginger Town before her. Countless articles of clothing lay about on the ground. Most of the shirts and blouses had holes stabbed through them. They billowed slightly as a gust of wind blew by and through Sekai's forest green hair.
Her heather eyes pooled with tears at the thought of how many people lost their lives to whatever stabbed them.
'Who could do such a thing to so many people?' she thought. 'Whatever it is, it couldn't possibly be human.' She also noticed, as she looked around, that many of the buildings were in some ruin. Windows were shattered and doors were broken down. Apparently, the people had been trying to escape whatever threat had arrived in this city.
Sekai, now sixteen years old, was very afraid. She had never imagined that something could wipe out an entire city population, and she still didn't. Her mind felt very numb at the moment. Just the thought that there wasn't a single living soul in the city she was standing in boggled her brain. Slowly, her senses returned to her and she breathed in deeply. Silently, she coached herself not to go into hysterics.
'Okay, Sekai. One, two, three. One, two, three... There we go. Just calm down now.'
Achieving little calmness yet somewhat feeling better, she reached into her pocket to pull out a capsule. She clicked it and threw it a safe distance away. In a poof of smoke, an air car appeared. She hopped in and began driving through the empty streets of Ginger Town. She raised the gears up far enough on the air car until she was driving about twelve feet in the air. Even as high as she was, she didn't feel any sense of security.
'I'm getting paranoid about this. But don't I have a right to? I mean, it's not normal for such a busy city like this to be void of any activity or people,' Sekai pondered. As she drove, sensing for any ki belonging to anyone, a strong gust of wind blew by, nearly making her car change direction slightly.
'What the hell is that?!' she thought in surprise. She looked behind her and saw the strangest and most horrifying thing she'd ever seen.
It appeared to be some kind of monster. That was the only glimpse she got of the horrible thing before she saw it raise its hand and fire a ki blast at her. Not knowing what else to do, and having little time to decide, Sekai jumped from her air car and landed on the hard pavement just before the ki blast made contact with her car and caused it to explode in a burst of heat, light, and debris.
She bounced twice as she hit the ground and landed on her behind. She shielded her head with her hands against the falling rubble. When the shower of particles ceased, she lowered her hands to view her surroundings.
The first thing Sekai took notice of was that she was sitting down on her rear. One of her backless sandals had mysteriously disappeared and her left foot was exposed. She also noted that her car was gone for good, and was replaced with scrap metal.
She growled, getting up and beginning to dust herself off, wiping at her navy blue tank top and jean shorts. Suddenly, she felt herself being watched and whipped around to see what had destroyed her car.
The monster had a strange resemblence to a lizard, a bug, and a human. It was mostly covered with a green exoskeleton which had random dark green spots dotting it. A black shell protected its brain and chest and around that, orange muscles lined its abdomen. Three toes protruded from each foot and it looked like it had an orange, muscled beak for a mouth with no visible nose. Sekai figured that he was no less than seven feet tall. Although, what she found to be its most fearful feature was its long tail with a sharp stinger at the end.
'Why couldn't I sense him before?' she wondered.
"Hello there, little one," the thing rasped, somewhat evilly. Sekai blinked in shock. She opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out.
The creature seemed to smirk at the fact that the girl was temporarily mute. He began walking towards her, squeaking his feet with each step.
KT-TCH..KT-TCH..KT-TCH..
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity to her, Sekai spoke in the form of a question. "Who a-are you?" she stuttered. Fear clutched her heart.
The monster stopped momentarily, perhaps pondering whether or not to tell who he was. He answered her with,"It doesn't matter. All will soon be known to you when you become a part of me."
Sekai's eyes widened at the peculiar answer she received from the equally peculiar being in front of her. What did he mean by that? As if on cue, the monster's tail swished menacingly behind him.
'Wait a minute. Is he...' Her thoughts were cut off as the creature suddenly dove for her, positioning his tail to strike her chest and suck away her soul.
Instinctively, she put her arms up in defense and backed away as fast as she could.
The strike barely missed her by centimeters. She backflipped away from him. Growling, she got into a fighting stance, ready to defend herself. As scared as she was, she wouldn't give up without a fight. Yet deep inside her, Sekai knew that she would not be able to defeat him.
She shook her head to clear it of the negative thoughts. 'No. I will fight this monster with honor, even if it means getting killed.'
Her gaze swept to the stinger on the end of the creature's tail. A lump grew in her throat, and she forced herself to swallow it. She would fight this beast if it meant avenging all of the poor, innocent people who lost their lives to him. In any case, if he was too much to handle, she would retreat a secure distance away from him. After all, he wouldn't come after her. She wasn't a threat to him. Of course, she would soon realize that in this monster's presence, there was no such thing as a safe distance with him alive and that chances of his defeat by her were nonexistant.
The monster whom she would discover to be named Cell.
