Chapter 34- The Wish; for Good or Bad (part 2)
=Terrace\Kara=
I could hardly stand laughing at Goten and such. It was fun having such a body, with skill, power, and mind reading. The only annoyance was the constant yelling of the real Kara. She was alive, but I had her body. Trapped in a corner of mind able to see but unable to do anything. I had told Kaseen not to read my mind, and none of them knew about Kara's existence.
"Terrace, we have a shot." Kio said. I knew exactly what he meant.
"what?" Karait said. He thought for a moment. "NOOOOO!!! GOTEN SEPERATE THE BALLS!!!!!"
"I cant." Goten said helplessly.
"I wish for Cell to be alive. My second wish is for him to be right here!!!" I expelled triumphantly.
Cell appeared.
The horror on the faces of 17, 18 and Karait was very satisfying. Karait disappeared. He reappeared seconds later with Onoca at his side. Damn.
"Cell and Kio. What a hideous combination." Onoca said.
"Onoca and Karait. What a..how to say..timely combination?" Cell said. He looked at Kio, who was looking extremely mean and very happy.
"guys, we should move now." 18 said. Her concern was obvious.
"no we must fight." Goten protested.
Gohan stared at him like a father. "Goten do you have any idea what your facing?!" he asked. "YOU ARE NOTHING TO THEM...NOTHING!!!"
Goten's face was a mask of fury. "NOTHING THIS!!!" he shot a huge ki blast at Kio. Cell smirked. Kio smirked. Kaseen smirked. I smirked. Kio yawned, put a finger out, and moved the blast back at Goten. It hit him.
"now if your really going to fight us and win, you'd better bulk up." Kaseen said. "come on guys, we don't need to waste time. I have an idea." He launched. Cell followed. Kio picked me up and left.
When we got there. "what was your idea?" Kio.
"my idea was for to recapture Onoca within the Kimetae Pendant." Kaseen.
"THAT ISN'T PHYICALLY POSSIBLE!!"
"he's right, Kaseen. The Kimetae Pendant doesn't exist anymore. We don't have any sort of thing to replace it with." Cell explained.
Kaseen's head drooped. "yeah your right."
"don't worry about it."
you cant win this, Terrace Kara, in her telepathic speech. Karait and Onoca is a force to be reckoned with.
so is Cell and Kio I countered.
good always wins
you're an optimist, Kara. But soon I'll be rid of you completely.
"Terrace, come over here." Kio said, softly, like someone hurt his feelings. If he had any. .
"what, Kio?"
"I wonder.......nah..anyway, place your hand on my...."
"I'M HERE TO STOP YOU, KIO!!!!" Goten pissing us off again. Kio looked rudely at Goten for interrupting him but he smiled and laughed.
"let me get this straight. You are going to beat me, Cell, Terrace and Kaseen alone?" Kio asked.
"no just you." Goten said through gritted teeth.
"HAHAHAHAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kaseen. "let ME get THIS straight. You are going to kill Kio and then we're gonna let you live? HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAH!!!!!!!!!!"
"good try gofuck, but it aint working." I said. I grabbed him by his hand and flung him out.
nice shot Terrace
you know that we are stronger Kara, you know.
maybe I do, Terrace. Maybe I do
you admit it!!!!!!!!!!!!
incorrect I said that maybe I do. I didn't say that I did
maybe is almost always a no
ALMOST always
"Terrace? Hello?" That was Cell, waving a hand in front of my face.
"yeah I'm here. Just...thinking."
"don't let your secret of me get out, Terrace. Goten and Gohan might get some encouragement
shut up, Kimetae.
"Terrace, stop zoning out." Kaseen was scolding me.
=Onoca=
I had had an easy enough time fighting Cell. He was obviously weaker then Kio and much stupider. Kara...i knew she was alive..but how?
"Onoca, we have HUGE problems." Karait said.
"I know that Karait. I'm not a fool."
"YOU THINK WE DON'T HAVE PROBLEMS?! CELL AND KIO ARE TOGETHER, WE ONLY HAVE THE UNTRAINED IO AND HIS DAD, KARA'S DEAD, TERRACE HAS A BODY, AND TERRACE KNOWS ALL OF KARA' S STUFF!!!" Goten screamed.
"he needs some self-control. And I'm not related to Karait at all." I commented.
"uh huh." Gohan said, who was smiling. "He has anger problems, growing up without dad to help him turn it into power. He had to do it himself and he has these extra bits of anger like that that aren't used and come out like that."
"You and him are related?" I asked.
"Yeah I'm his older brother." Gohan said. "Sometimes its hard." He said and chuckled.
Chapter 35- Through the Generations
"I see." I said.
"so we need to do something, but what?" the android 17 asked.
"I'm scared, 17." That was 18. she was probably the most unstable of us all.
"I know 18, but it'll be okay soon." 17 said, relaxing her.
"Onoca?" Karait asked me carefully.
"yes, Karait?"
"will you be my father? And train me? And help me to fight?" he asked with a lot of emotion. "I mean, Goten has Gohan, 18's got 17, but all I've got is you."
"Karait? How old are you in Io years?"
"3."
I was heartbroken. Karait was raised in the Kal El, obviously to be ashamed of himself for Kimetae which stung me, and not only that, but now he was brought into a secret war against a team of sadistic bitches with no one to turned to for help. His teacher was killed and used as a puppet, and that just pissed me off.
"Karait come here." I motioned over. "you guys, lets just take some down time."
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?! WITH THEM ON THE LOOSE?!" Goten yelled, still obviously in rage.
"yes, with them." A boy with purple hair said.
"what's your name?" I asked him.
"Trunks. What's your name?"
"Onoca."
"ONOCA YOUR CRAZY!!!!" Goten continued.
I looked at him with determination. "So be it. I'm going to a peaceful place, with running springs and a waterfall, where trees grow in abundance, where the only sounds are the birds chirping and the bugs buzzing. Something that doesn't exist on Ion. Something I've longed for all my life"
"I know where you can go." Gohan said, almost encouragingly. "Piccolo's waterfall spot. I'll show you the way." He said and launched. I followed and so did Karait. 17, 18, and Trunks went, but Goten stayed. I looked at him.
"fine then Goten, get yourself killed." I said. "it's not my fault."
Gohan continued to fly until we got to a small, secluded waterfall. It was beautiful. I sat down beneath a tree and Karait sat down next to me.
"Father, tell me a story." Karait said.
"okay then, Karait. Way back, once upon a time in once upon a time time, there lived a boy named.....i need a name." I asked.
Gohan interrupted. "Sean."
"okay then. There was a boy name Sean. He had a nice life with a house and loving parents and that such. One day, his life changed. His father came home and told Sean that he had to go to the army to be trained in boot camp. Sean pleaded and cried, but he was forced to go to the army anyway. In the army, all the other kids told him he was weird and odd and they all hated him. Soon his self confidence was very low, but his spirit was high. Then a bully came. His name was...need another name." I glanced around. Karait was daydreaming, Gohan was sleeping, Trunks was in a tree, dozing off and Goten was stil missing. Hmm...wonder if Kio killed him yet. "name?" I asked.
"Vegita." Trunks said, smiling.
"good point, Trunks."
"okay the bully's name was Vegita. Anyway, Vegita came down to the army. All the people in the army besides Sean tried to beat him, but they all failed. Then Sean tried, defeated Vegita, and they lived happily ever after. The end." I smiled. "anyone know what I just told?"
"a story?" asked a yawning Karait.
"yeah. My life story." I said. I smiled and closed my eyes. It was nice to be able to doze off.
"AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" someone screamed. A large THUD followed.
Gohan smirked. "betcha it's Goten."
Goten walked out of the bushes, his head bleeding and black and blues all over.
"toldya so." Gohan said and chuckled.
I suddenly got an idea. "hey Gohan?"
"what Onoca?"
"can you get the dragon again?"
"yeah."
"can people in the other world take stuff with them?"
"no, but Karait can grab it."
"cool. We need those balls."
"so we can make the mistake of them falling into Terrace's hands again?" Goten said sarcastically.
"it's not my fault you weren't prepared." I shot back.
"well why do we need them?" Gohan asked.
"simple. When I was in the other world, me and Vegita formulated a plan to defeat Cell. IT was almost done, but Cell got wished back. If Vegita comes back and we have the plans, all we have to do in edit it."
"a second wish?" asked a still-dubious Goten.
"hmmmm;.." I though hard. "how about---Kara to be able to control her body? It's not as powerful as kicking Terrace out."
"and if it dosent work?" Trunks, getting worried also.
"how about wishing Piccolo back?" Gohan interrupted.
Trunks smiled broadly. "why not?"
"okay now that's settled, Trunks, collect the (dramatic reverb) dragon balls." I said, now grinning. Life wasn't exactly grand, but it was okay.
"Gohan?" I asked again.
"what now, Onoca?" he asked, also smiling.
"what do you think of Vegita?"
"Vegita..." he said, "Vegita was arrogant and annoying, but street-smart. Battle smart. A good kid to have on your side on a fight for plans and stuff."
Back with the bad guys....
=Kaseen=
Cell was a lot less then I expected, and I was let down. His power level was stronger then me, but weaker then Terrace and Kio. Terrace was being weird lately. He constantly zoned out and very often, we had to repeat things twice for him. Of course, very little of out talk was important. We all had our stories. Cell had the Cell games, Kio had the Io, Terrace had his journeys, his exploring, (although he rarely joined in our conversations) and I had my life. It was enjoyable not lying, saying things like 'oh yeah Kimetae can kick ass' and then watch Kara swell with pleasure. Talking with Kio was interesting. We would size up Onoca and Kara, and then have verbal duels, using the 2 of them as our pawns. Most of them time we would try to get one of them to self destruct and then kill both.
"Onoca is going to use his Kiase attack on Kara!!! He moves back states a chant, and a huge ball of energy is in his hands!!" Kio said.
I responded. "but Kara was waiting, and prepares her own Kiase. She sends the beam at Onoca!!!!!"
"Onoca shoots his and her, and they are locked in a blast duel!!!"
"Kara stopped abruptly and moves out of them way!!! Onoca falls on his face and Kara cuts his head off!!!"
"crap, Kaseen, you won again!!! That's 4 times!!" Kio yelled at me.
"hahahah!!!" I laughed in his face.
"hey guys!!!" Cell yelled to us on the other side of a large Kia tree.
"what?" we shouted back together!!
"Gohan comes in, kills Kara, and he is victorious!!!!"
"SHUT UP CELL!!!!" WE both yelled at him, smiling.
Cell got up, smiled, walked over to Terrace and waved and hand in his face. Terrace didn't notice. Both me and Kio stifled laughter.
I burst out laughing. Terrace apparently heard me and snapped out of his daze and then kicked Cell hard in his gut.
"jeez, Terrace, what is your problem? Do you need a lobotomy or something? You keep zoning out." Kaseen said.
"what is a lobotomy?" the 3 of them asked together.
"a lobotomy was used back in the 1500's. They thought that a crazy person could be fixed by removing part of your brain. That's a lobotomy." He explained
"where did you learn that?" Terrace asked.
"I've been on this damn planet for about 600 years. Probably more."
"Oh." Terrace said. "Holy shit. I would hate to be stuck on a planet like this if you weren't a human."
"Like your x-form?" I asked.
"Yeah. See I didn't really know that aliens existed until I met Gohan"
"ooooooooooooooh..." Kio said.
"gee I'm bored." Terrace complained.
"me too." I agreed. "lets go beat up Goten or something."
"sounds good." Kio said as he lifted Terrace up.
"gee I feel so weak without ki." Terrace complained some more.
"I was gonna give you some but gofuck interrupted me." Kio said .
"shut up, Terrace." I said and jetted off.
My grin was widened when I landed by Onoca and Karait. Both were sleeping under a tree, both with smiles, dreaming nice dreams. Trunks wasn't there. Oh well. Goten was sleeping by Gohan, under another tree.
"shall we turn their dreams into nightmares?" I asked, with a sadistic smile.
"why not?" Kio asked as he stepped on Goten. "oops!!!"
"WHAT?!" Goten said as he snapped up and shook Gohan.
"wha....?" he said groggily. He looked up and saw Terrace. "YOU!! ONOCA!! KARAIT!! WAKE UP!!!"
"wha.....?" Both of them said. They got up and were immediately up and ready to fight. Unlike Gohan, neither of them said anything. Karait's eyes blazed anger.
Chapter 36- Karait's Moment in Spotlight.
=Karait=
I stared at Terrace. Pure hate, unlike anything I've ever felt. I've felt anger, pain, hate. But this...this was an unreal sensation. Something..powerful.
"KARAIT!!!!!!!!! THINK ABOUT KARA!!!!!! USE IT AS YOUR STRENGH!!!!!" Onoca. I listened to him. My thoughts went to Kara, dead. I used it as energy. I had very little practice, but it came easily.
"GUYS!!!!! MOVE!!!!" Cell yelled.
"your not going anywhere, Cell. You waited for a battle once, you can do it again." Gohan.
"EVERYONE, GET OUT!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!" Kio.
"you heard Onoca. You aren't going anywhere." I said. The hate just kept coming. I kept channeling it into energy until a point where I could no longer stay quiet. "ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" a yell, a scream.
"he's going to go, Kimetae, isn't he, Onoca?" Goten asked fearfully.
"yes, he is. We have to go."
I felt a strange feeling. It was the aura of ki. My scales blackened until then were pitch black. Red streaks flashed, and then disappeared. They flashed again. The hate, pure fury, kept coming. I was tiring an amazing amount from channeling it and I needed something more angry.
"KARAIT!!!!! THINK ABOUT THE ANDROIDS IF WE LOSE!!!!!!! THINK ABOUT THEIR DEMISE!!!!!!!!!!" Gohan this time.
I kept that thought now. Cell's tail manifesting them. A cry of fury escaped. The red streaks tore across my body and stayed there. "Terrace, I WILL NOT LET YOU LIVE!!!!!" in a flash, I was on Terrace.
=Gohan=
I stepped back in awe. "his power is amazing. It's so absolute."
Onoca didn't say anything positive. "he's holding back."
Goten was stunned by this.. "but his power...?"
"you think he is anywhere close to his true power? He's holding back."
This statement shocked me badly. "what could he be holding back?" I asked in amazement.
"he doesn't want to kill Kara."
"gee that was obvious." Goten said.
Onoca got angry. "listen, kid. I don't need your sarcasm right now. We could all die. Karait is at an uncontrollable stage of power. We cant get to him. So we need to lay low. We insult him the tiniest bit; we're all dead. So shut up."
=Onoca=
Goten was obviously pissed at being talked at like that. "why you little insufferable..."
Karait turned our way. I was truly afraid. "GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE NOW!!!!"
Goten didn't follow. "I'm sick of listening to you. You and your son. You and your crappy son who knows NOTHING!!!!"
"get killed. Better for us." I said.
Gohan was afraid. He was afraid of Karait, but afraid to leave Goten. "come on, Gohan, we don't have a choice."
"very well. I'm sorry Goten." Gohan said. He followed me.
1 Chapter 37- Death by Arrogance
=Kio=
Karait's power was something. Cell was afraid. I was slightly afraid, not too bad. Terrace wasn't scared period. He was smirking. And I was worried for his fate. Terrace had a plan. But what was it? I wasn't Io; I couldn't read minds. I was scared.
"Cell, you know this power?" I asked him.
"not this sort, but I have experienced this metamorphosis. And that's how I was killed."
"wait a moment. Karait doesn't have the Kimetae pendant. He cant have Kimetae stage. This is his own power. Not Onoca's" I said, thinking for a second.
Karait got off Terrace, and he turned to face Goten. Karait said nothing. He just shot a large ki blast at Goten. Goten's shock rooted him on the spot. The ki blast hit him. Karait kept shooting at Goten. And didn't stop until Goten was dead. Gohan was to far away to notice. Then he turned to me. OR actually to Terrace.
"listen...uh..Karait....i'll release Kara..if you go away.yeah." Terrace said, backing away.
"okay then, Terrace. Do that. Right now." Karait said in a low threatening hiss.
A large white light surrounded Terrace. A 'whooshing' noise followed. The white light disappeared.
Kara fell. Her sturdy, strong legs collapsed.
"is Kara......dead?" Cell asked, frightened.
"gee and I know...." I asked sarcastically.
"Kaseen?" Cell said, looking at him.
Kaseen shrugged. He, evidently, didn't care very much whenever Kara lived or died.
"then where's Terrace?" I asked.
"yes I know exactly where Terrace is." Cell said sarcastically.
"Terrace?" Kaseen asked. "where the hell are you?"
"right here."
"where?" I asked.
"right here."
"WHERE THE HELL IS 'RIGHT HERE?!" Cell yelled.
"hey guys?" I asked.
"WHAT?!" came 2 angry voices.
"there is this guy..."
"SO WHAT?!"
"and he's kinda gonna kick your ass, Kaseen."
"WHAT?!" Kaseen yelled.
"I think that I should kill you now, Kaseen."
"WHO SAID THAT?!"
"not me." I said innocently.
"not i." Cell said.
"not me." Terrace's shady, invisible voice said. "I cant."
"WELL......OOOOOOOOOOOOF!!!!." Kaseen said as he got thrown by a ki blast.
"I think I should kill you now, Kaseen."
"KARAIT YOU BITCH!!!!!!!!!!" Kaseen screamed as he got up and floated up, hurling ki blast after ki blast, all missing Karait. Karait came back with a large kick that hit Kaseen square in the forehead. Kaseen was down for a few seconds but he got up, a nasty gash bleeding onto his face.
"you need a new look." I commented.
"shut up, Kio." Kaseen said, anger in his eyes.
Karait punched Kaseen in the gutm sending him spiraling down into the ground.
"KASEEN!! USE TAKAMASE!!!" Terrace said.
"I don't think so." Karait said. His red streaks were disappearing. His power was fading and soon Kaseen would be able to beat him. Karait started using a move that I hadn't seen before.
"Kaseen!! That move is the equivalent to Takamase!!" Cell said. He had obviously seen the move before.
"I'm ready." He started powering up another ki blast, but this one looked different.
=Karait=
I was preparing a Kame Hame Ha. I had seen it once, when Gohan used it when he was sparring with Goten. I wasn't sure how my brand of ki would work with it. But I couldn't use Takamase. Kaseen knew that move. I couldn't use anything that he knew. But my power was fading fast. I was going to use the rest of it here.
"Karait......u..se....the.gallet...gun..KameHame..ha..." a weak voice......Kara!!!!!!!!!
"Kara, you alive?" I asked with amazement.
"USE IT!!"
I put my hands together. "GALLET KAME........"
=Kio=
"What?! He cant have anything stronger then the Kame Hame Ha.and that's blue but this is pitch black.....THAT CANT BE!!!!!" Cell yelled.
"fill me in here." I said, very confused.
"the strongest beam is the Kame Hame Ha Wave. It's light blue. There are others besides beams, but he's using a beam. This is stronger the Kame Hame Ha." He said hurriedly. "my guess is is that he's fusing 2 attacks, the Gallet Gun, which is Vegita's strongest attack, and the KameHame Ha, which is Goku's signature move. But that isn't possible!! The energy given off by such a beam of that power would scorch him!!!!"
"So he's using an attack which is a combo of 2 other attacks but you cant fuse those 2 attacks without dying?" I asked, slightly confused.
"exactly."
"HAME....."
"WE HAVE TO GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE RIGHT THIS DAMN SECOND!!!!!" Cell yelled as he flew off as fast as possible.
Me, I was too mesmerized by that beam.
"GUN HA!!!!!!!!!!!" Karait yelled. I could see the beam spiraling towards Kaseen, who tried to hold it back with his hands, but there was an explosion of light. I was outta there!!!!
I was out as fast as possible, but the explosion was closing in on me. I powered up as a fast.....Wait.. where's Terrace? He's not alive, so he cant be killed.Then where is he?
"I'm approximately 3 feet away from you, Kio." Terrace's spirit voice said.
=Onoca=
I was several miles from Karait when I felt that power. "Gohan. Stop."
"Karait..is that him?" he asked, referring to the power.
"yes and no. It's a beam I don't recognize, but that's where the reading is coming from. The beam was created by Karait so technically yes but physically no."
"okay I almost got it." Gohan said. His confusion was obvious. "should we go back and check it out?"
I smiled, "why not?" I turned around and started flying back.
It took a while to get back because I wasn't flying as a fast as I was before, but I was fine with time on my hands. I needed some time to think. I was thinking about the plan me and Vegita had created. So many what-ifs. It was so dependent on Cell and Kio. That was worrisome, but I knew Kio like the back of my hand. Vegita had said he knew Cell well. He had been lying, but I was assuming Gohan knew him very well, since he had brought Cell's downfall. The entire plan would have to be reformed because now we are facing 2 people and we are 4. I stopped to think where we are so I wouldn't embarrass myself. I stopped just in time.
I landed, I something told me to stay above the ground. Karait was on the ground. HE wasn't dead. Kaseen wasn't there. He was dead. I just knew. Kio wasn't there. MY assumption was that he fled, knowing Io power to well. I sensed Cell's power faintly. He was a mile or so away. The once nice- looking landscape was covered in dust and dirt and crap like that.
"where's everyone? The only one I sense is Cell." Gohan said. HE was higher above me and Karait's body blended perfectly with the small patches of grass that had survived, so apparently he didn't see Karait.
"First, Gohan, you're looking for ki levels. Look for energy. Second, Karait's camouflaged. «
« uh.yeah okay..." he said. "oh here's Karait...where's Kaseen and Kio?"
"Kaseen's dead, Kio ran away." I said.
"hello?!"
"17? I didn't know you where still following us." Gohan said.
"oh jeez, now I'm loved." He said sarcastically. "what happened?"
"gee 17, if you were here, why didn't you just listen?" I asked.
"cause I didn't feel like it." He said. It was almost an excuse and I almost laughed. L
"is Kara still here?" 18 asked.
"wish I knew." I mumbled to myself. "Gohan, how do you get to that little namek dude?" I asked. Kara had told me a little about Dende, and his healing power and his leaderness.
"who Dende? Well...." he thought. "go that way," he pointed backwards, "for a few miles and then go up."
"uh yeah okay." I said and turned around. "you guys, check out Karait, he looks out cold."
"okay Onoca. But what are you going to do?" 18 asked.
I didn't answer.
To Be Continued....
Why is Onoca going to the Lookout? Is Kara still alive? Why is Trunks taking so long to collect the Dragon Balls? (Yes, that's where he's been) Find out in Cell's Return 11!!!!!
AN: Sorry to post this late, but I started this fic before the cell saga ended the first time, so Goten is extremely OOC. I really didn't mean to characterize him this way, but it just turned out. Sorry, Goten lovers (I know how you feel, I think he's so cute ^_^)
=Terrace\Kara=
I could hardly stand laughing at Goten and such. It was fun having such a body, with skill, power, and mind reading. The only annoyance was the constant yelling of the real Kara. She was alive, but I had her body. Trapped in a corner of mind able to see but unable to do anything. I had told Kaseen not to read my mind, and none of them knew about Kara's existence.
"Terrace, we have a shot." Kio said. I knew exactly what he meant.
"what?" Karait said. He thought for a moment. "NOOOOO!!! GOTEN SEPERATE THE BALLS!!!!!"
"I cant." Goten said helplessly.
"I wish for Cell to be alive. My second wish is for him to be right here!!!" I expelled triumphantly.
Cell appeared.
The horror on the faces of 17, 18 and Karait was very satisfying. Karait disappeared. He reappeared seconds later with Onoca at his side. Damn.
"Cell and Kio. What a hideous combination." Onoca said.
"Onoca and Karait. What a..how to say..timely combination?" Cell said. He looked at Kio, who was looking extremely mean and very happy.
"guys, we should move now." 18 said. Her concern was obvious.
"no we must fight." Goten protested.
Gohan stared at him like a father. "Goten do you have any idea what your facing?!" he asked. "YOU ARE NOTHING TO THEM...NOTHING!!!"
Goten's face was a mask of fury. "NOTHING THIS!!!" he shot a huge ki blast at Kio. Cell smirked. Kio smirked. Kaseen smirked. I smirked. Kio yawned, put a finger out, and moved the blast back at Goten. It hit him.
"now if your really going to fight us and win, you'd better bulk up." Kaseen said. "come on guys, we don't need to waste time. I have an idea." He launched. Cell followed. Kio picked me up and left.
When we got there. "what was your idea?" Kio.
"my idea was for to recapture Onoca within the Kimetae Pendant." Kaseen.
"THAT ISN'T PHYICALLY POSSIBLE!!"
"he's right, Kaseen. The Kimetae Pendant doesn't exist anymore. We don't have any sort of thing to replace it with." Cell explained.
Kaseen's head drooped. "yeah your right."
"don't worry about it."
you cant win this, Terrace Kara, in her telepathic speech. Karait and Onoca is a force to be reckoned with.
so is Cell and Kio I countered.
good always wins
you're an optimist, Kara. But soon I'll be rid of you completely.
"Terrace, come over here." Kio said, softly, like someone hurt his feelings. If he had any. .
"what, Kio?"
"I wonder.......nah..anyway, place your hand on my...."
"I'M HERE TO STOP YOU, KIO!!!!" Goten pissing us off again. Kio looked rudely at Goten for interrupting him but he smiled and laughed.
"let me get this straight. You are going to beat me, Cell, Terrace and Kaseen alone?" Kio asked.
"no just you." Goten said through gritted teeth.
"HAHAHAHAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kaseen. "let ME get THIS straight. You are going to kill Kio and then we're gonna let you live? HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAH!!!!!!!!!!"
"good try gofuck, but it aint working." I said. I grabbed him by his hand and flung him out.
nice shot Terrace
you know that we are stronger Kara, you know.
maybe I do, Terrace. Maybe I do
you admit it!!!!!!!!!!!!
incorrect I said that maybe I do. I didn't say that I did
maybe is almost always a no
ALMOST always
"Terrace? Hello?" That was Cell, waving a hand in front of my face.
"yeah I'm here. Just...thinking."
"don't let your secret of me get out, Terrace. Goten and Gohan might get some encouragement
shut up, Kimetae.
"Terrace, stop zoning out." Kaseen was scolding me.
=Onoca=
I had had an easy enough time fighting Cell. He was obviously weaker then Kio and much stupider. Kara...i knew she was alive..but how?
"Onoca, we have HUGE problems." Karait said.
"I know that Karait. I'm not a fool."
"YOU THINK WE DON'T HAVE PROBLEMS?! CELL AND KIO ARE TOGETHER, WE ONLY HAVE THE UNTRAINED IO AND HIS DAD, KARA'S DEAD, TERRACE HAS A BODY, AND TERRACE KNOWS ALL OF KARA' S STUFF!!!" Goten screamed.
"he needs some self-control. And I'm not related to Karait at all." I commented.
"uh huh." Gohan said, who was smiling. "He has anger problems, growing up without dad to help him turn it into power. He had to do it himself and he has these extra bits of anger like that that aren't used and come out like that."
"You and him are related?" I asked.
"Yeah I'm his older brother." Gohan said. "Sometimes its hard." He said and chuckled.
Chapter 35- Through the Generations
"I see." I said.
"so we need to do something, but what?" the android 17 asked.
"I'm scared, 17." That was 18. she was probably the most unstable of us all.
"I know 18, but it'll be okay soon." 17 said, relaxing her.
"Onoca?" Karait asked me carefully.
"yes, Karait?"
"will you be my father? And train me? And help me to fight?" he asked with a lot of emotion. "I mean, Goten has Gohan, 18's got 17, but all I've got is you."
"Karait? How old are you in Io years?"
"3."
I was heartbroken. Karait was raised in the Kal El, obviously to be ashamed of himself for Kimetae which stung me, and not only that, but now he was brought into a secret war against a team of sadistic bitches with no one to turned to for help. His teacher was killed and used as a puppet, and that just pissed me off.
"Karait come here." I motioned over. "you guys, lets just take some down time."
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?! WITH THEM ON THE LOOSE?!" Goten yelled, still obviously in rage.
"yes, with them." A boy with purple hair said.
"what's your name?" I asked him.
"Trunks. What's your name?"
"Onoca."
"ONOCA YOUR CRAZY!!!!" Goten continued.
I looked at him with determination. "So be it. I'm going to a peaceful place, with running springs and a waterfall, where trees grow in abundance, where the only sounds are the birds chirping and the bugs buzzing. Something that doesn't exist on Ion. Something I've longed for all my life"
"I know where you can go." Gohan said, almost encouragingly. "Piccolo's waterfall spot. I'll show you the way." He said and launched. I followed and so did Karait. 17, 18, and Trunks went, but Goten stayed. I looked at him.
"fine then Goten, get yourself killed." I said. "it's not my fault."
Gohan continued to fly until we got to a small, secluded waterfall. It was beautiful. I sat down beneath a tree and Karait sat down next to me.
"Father, tell me a story." Karait said.
"okay then, Karait. Way back, once upon a time in once upon a time time, there lived a boy named.....i need a name." I asked.
Gohan interrupted. "Sean."
"okay then. There was a boy name Sean. He had a nice life with a house and loving parents and that such. One day, his life changed. His father came home and told Sean that he had to go to the army to be trained in boot camp. Sean pleaded and cried, but he was forced to go to the army anyway. In the army, all the other kids told him he was weird and odd and they all hated him. Soon his self confidence was very low, but his spirit was high. Then a bully came. His name was...need another name." I glanced around. Karait was daydreaming, Gohan was sleeping, Trunks was in a tree, dozing off and Goten was stil missing. Hmm...wonder if Kio killed him yet. "name?" I asked.
"Vegita." Trunks said, smiling.
"good point, Trunks."
"okay the bully's name was Vegita. Anyway, Vegita came down to the army. All the people in the army besides Sean tried to beat him, but they all failed. Then Sean tried, defeated Vegita, and they lived happily ever after. The end." I smiled. "anyone know what I just told?"
"a story?" asked a yawning Karait.
"yeah. My life story." I said. I smiled and closed my eyes. It was nice to be able to doze off.
"AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" someone screamed. A large THUD followed.
Gohan smirked. "betcha it's Goten."
Goten walked out of the bushes, his head bleeding and black and blues all over.
"toldya so." Gohan said and chuckled.
I suddenly got an idea. "hey Gohan?"
"what Onoca?"
"can you get the dragon again?"
"yeah."
"can people in the other world take stuff with them?"
"no, but Karait can grab it."
"cool. We need those balls."
"so we can make the mistake of them falling into Terrace's hands again?" Goten said sarcastically.
"it's not my fault you weren't prepared." I shot back.
"well why do we need them?" Gohan asked.
"simple. When I was in the other world, me and Vegita formulated a plan to defeat Cell. IT was almost done, but Cell got wished back. If Vegita comes back and we have the plans, all we have to do in edit it."
"a second wish?" asked a still-dubious Goten.
"hmmmm;.." I though hard. "how about---Kara to be able to control her body? It's not as powerful as kicking Terrace out."
"and if it dosent work?" Trunks, getting worried also.
"how about wishing Piccolo back?" Gohan interrupted.
Trunks smiled broadly. "why not?"
"okay now that's settled, Trunks, collect the (dramatic reverb) dragon balls." I said, now grinning. Life wasn't exactly grand, but it was okay.
"Gohan?" I asked again.
"what now, Onoca?" he asked, also smiling.
"what do you think of Vegita?"
"Vegita..." he said, "Vegita was arrogant and annoying, but street-smart. Battle smart. A good kid to have on your side on a fight for plans and stuff."
Back with the bad guys....
=Kaseen=
Cell was a lot less then I expected, and I was let down. His power level was stronger then me, but weaker then Terrace and Kio. Terrace was being weird lately. He constantly zoned out and very often, we had to repeat things twice for him. Of course, very little of out talk was important. We all had our stories. Cell had the Cell games, Kio had the Io, Terrace had his journeys, his exploring, (although he rarely joined in our conversations) and I had my life. It was enjoyable not lying, saying things like 'oh yeah Kimetae can kick ass' and then watch Kara swell with pleasure. Talking with Kio was interesting. We would size up Onoca and Kara, and then have verbal duels, using the 2 of them as our pawns. Most of them time we would try to get one of them to self destruct and then kill both.
"Onoca is going to use his Kiase attack on Kara!!! He moves back states a chant, and a huge ball of energy is in his hands!!" Kio said.
I responded. "but Kara was waiting, and prepares her own Kiase. She sends the beam at Onoca!!!!!"
"Onoca shoots his and her, and they are locked in a blast duel!!!"
"Kara stopped abruptly and moves out of them way!!! Onoca falls on his face and Kara cuts his head off!!!"
"crap, Kaseen, you won again!!! That's 4 times!!" Kio yelled at me.
"hahahah!!!" I laughed in his face.
"hey guys!!!" Cell yelled to us on the other side of a large Kia tree.
"what?" we shouted back together!!
"Gohan comes in, kills Kara, and he is victorious!!!!"
"SHUT UP CELL!!!!" WE both yelled at him, smiling.
Cell got up, smiled, walked over to Terrace and waved and hand in his face. Terrace didn't notice. Both me and Kio stifled laughter.
I burst out laughing. Terrace apparently heard me and snapped out of his daze and then kicked Cell hard in his gut.
"jeez, Terrace, what is your problem? Do you need a lobotomy or something? You keep zoning out." Kaseen said.
"what is a lobotomy?" the 3 of them asked together.
"a lobotomy was used back in the 1500's. They thought that a crazy person could be fixed by removing part of your brain. That's a lobotomy." He explained
"where did you learn that?" Terrace asked.
"I've been on this damn planet for about 600 years. Probably more."
"Oh." Terrace said. "Holy shit. I would hate to be stuck on a planet like this if you weren't a human."
"Like your x-form?" I asked.
"Yeah. See I didn't really know that aliens existed until I met Gohan"
"ooooooooooooooh..." Kio said.
"gee I'm bored." Terrace complained.
"me too." I agreed. "lets go beat up Goten or something."
"sounds good." Kio said as he lifted Terrace up.
"gee I feel so weak without ki." Terrace complained some more.
"I was gonna give you some but gofuck interrupted me." Kio said .
"shut up, Terrace." I said and jetted off.
My grin was widened when I landed by Onoca and Karait. Both were sleeping under a tree, both with smiles, dreaming nice dreams. Trunks wasn't there. Oh well. Goten was sleeping by Gohan, under another tree.
"shall we turn their dreams into nightmares?" I asked, with a sadistic smile.
"why not?" Kio asked as he stepped on Goten. "oops!!!"
"WHAT?!" Goten said as he snapped up and shook Gohan.
"wha....?" he said groggily. He looked up and saw Terrace. "YOU!! ONOCA!! KARAIT!! WAKE UP!!!"
"wha.....?" Both of them said. They got up and were immediately up and ready to fight. Unlike Gohan, neither of them said anything. Karait's eyes blazed anger.
Chapter 36- Karait's Moment in Spotlight.
=Karait=
I stared at Terrace. Pure hate, unlike anything I've ever felt. I've felt anger, pain, hate. But this...this was an unreal sensation. Something..powerful.
"KARAIT!!!!!!!!! THINK ABOUT KARA!!!!!! USE IT AS YOUR STRENGH!!!!!" Onoca. I listened to him. My thoughts went to Kara, dead. I used it as energy. I had very little practice, but it came easily.
"GUYS!!!!! MOVE!!!!" Cell yelled.
"your not going anywhere, Cell. You waited for a battle once, you can do it again." Gohan.
"EVERYONE, GET OUT!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!" Kio.
"you heard Onoca. You aren't going anywhere." I said. The hate just kept coming. I kept channeling it into energy until a point where I could no longer stay quiet. "ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" a yell, a scream.
"he's going to go, Kimetae, isn't he, Onoca?" Goten asked fearfully.
"yes, he is. We have to go."
I felt a strange feeling. It was the aura of ki. My scales blackened until then were pitch black. Red streaks flashed, and then disappeared. They flashed again. The hate, pure fury, kept coming. I was tiring an amazing amount from channeling it and I needed something more angry.
"KARAIT!!!!! THINK ABOUT THE ANDROIDS IF WE LOSE!!!!!!! THINK ABOUT THEIR DEMISE!!!!!!!!!!" Gohan this time.
I kept that thought now. Cell's tail manifesting them. A cry of fury escaped. The red streaks tore across my body and stayed there. "Terrace, I WILL NOT LET YOU LIVE!!!!!" in a flash, I was on Terrace.
=Gohan=
I stepped back in awe. "his power is amazing. It's so absolute."
Onoca didn't say anything positive. "he's holding back."
Goten was stunned by this.. "but his power...?"
"you think he is anywhere close to his true power? He's holding back."
This statement shocked me badly. "what could he be holding back?" I asked in amazement.
"he doesn't want to kill Kara."
"gee that was obvious." Goten said.
Onoca got angry. "listen, kid. I don't need your sarcasm right now. We could all die. Karait is at an uncontrollable stage of power. We cant get to him. So we need to lay low. We insult him the tiniest bit; we're all dead. So shut up."
=Onoca=
Goten was obviously pissed at being talked at like that. "why you little insufferable..."
Karait turned our way. I was truly afraid. "GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE NOW!!!!"
Goten didn't follow. "I'm sick of listening to you. You and your son. You and your crappy son who knows NOTHING!!!!"
"get killed. Better for us." I said.
Gohan was afraid. He was afraid of Karait, but afraid to leave Goten. "come on, Gohan, we don't have a choice."
"very well. I'm sorry Goten." Gohan said. He followed me.
1 Chapter 37- Death by Arrogance
=Kio=
Karait's power was something. Cell was afraid. I was slightly afraid, not too bad. Terrace wasn't scared period. He was smirking. And I was worried for his fate. Terrace had a plan. But what was it? I wasn't Io; I couldn't read minds. I was scared.
"Cell, you know this power?" I asked him.
"not this sort, but I have experienced this metamorphosis. And that's how I was killed."
"wait a moment. Karait doesn't have the Kimetae pendant. He cant have Kimetae stage. This is his own power. Not Onoca's" I said, thinking for a second.
Karait got off Terrace, and he turned to face Goten. Karait said nothing. He just shot a large ki blast at Goten. Goten's shock rooted him on the spot. The ki blast hit him. Karait kept shooting at Goten. And didn't stop until Goten was dead. Gohan was to far away to notice. Then he turned to me. OR actually to Terrace.
"listen...uh..Karait....i'll release Kara..if you go away.yeah." Terrace said, backing away.
"okay then, Terrace. Do that. Right now." Karait said in a low threatening hiss.
A large white light surrounded Terrace. A 'whooshing' noise followed. The white light disappeared.
Kara fell. Her sturdy, strong legs collapsed.
"is Kara......dead?" Cell asked, frightened.
"gee and I know...." I asked sarcastically.
"Kaseen?" Cell said, looking at him.
Kaseen shrugged. He, evidently, didn't care very much whenever Kara lived or died.
"then where's Terrace?" I asked.
"yes I know exactly where Terrace is." Cell said sarcastically.
"Terrace?" Kaseen asked. "where the hell are you?"
"right here."
"where?" I asked.
"right here."
"WHERE THE HELL IS 'RIGHT HERE?!" Cell yelled.
"hey guys?" I asked.
"WHAT?!" came 2 angry voices.
"there is this guy..."
"SO WHAT?!"
"and he's kinda gonna kick your ass, Kaseen."
"WHAT?!" Kaseen yelled.
"I think that I should kill you now, Kaseen."
"WHO SAID THAT?!"
"not me." I said innocently.
"not i." Cell said.
"not me." Terrace's shady, invisible voice said. "I cant."
"WELL......OOOOOOOOOOOOF!!!!." Kaseen said as he got thrown by a ki blast.
"I think I should kill you now, Kaseen."
"KARAIT YOU BITCH!!!!!!!!!!" Kaseen screamed as he got up and floated up, hurling ki blast after ki blast, all missing Karait. Karait came back with a large kick that hit Kaseen square in the forehead. Kaseen was down for a few seconds but he got up, a nasty gash bleeding onto his face.
"you need a new look." I commented.
"shut up, Kio." Kaseen said, anger in his eyes.
Karait punched Kaseen in the gutm sending him spiraling down into the ground.
"KASEEN!! USE TAKAMASE!!!" Terrace said.
"I don't think so." Karait said. His red streaks were disappearing. His power was fading and soon Kaseen would be able to beat him. Karait started using a move that I hadn't seen before.
"Kaseen!! That move is the equivalent to Takamase!!" Cell said. He had obviously seen the move before.
"I'm ready." He started powering up another ki blast, but this one looked different.
=Karait=
I was preparing a Kame Hame Ha. I had seen it once, when Gohan used it when he was sparring with Goten. I wasn't sure how my brand of ki would work with it. But I couldn't use Takamase. Kaseen knew that move. I couldn't use anything that he knew. But my power was fading fast. I was going to use the rest of it here.
"Karait......u..se....the.gallet...gun..KameHame..ha..." a weak voice......Kara!!!!!!!!!
"Kara, you alive?" I asked with amazement.
"USE IT!!"
I put my hands together. "GALLET KAME........"
=Kio=
"What?! He cant have anything stronger then the Kame Hame Ha.and that's blue but this is pitch black.....THAT CANT BE!!!!!" Cell yelled.
"fill me in here." I said, very confused.
"the strongest beam is the Kame Hame Ha Wave. It's light blue. There are others besides beams, but he's using a beam. This is stronger the Kame Hame Ha." He said hurriedly. "my guess is is that he's fusing 2 attacks, the Gallet Gun, which is Vegita's strongest attack, and the KameHame Ha, which is Goku's signature move. But that isn't possible!! The energy given off by such a beam of that power would scorch him!!!!"
"So he's using an attack which is a combo of 2 other attacks but you cant fuse those 2 attacks without dying?" I asked, slightly confused.
"exactly."
"HAME....."
"WE HAVE TO GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE RIGHT THIS DAMN SECOND!!!!!" Cell yelled as he flew off as fast as possible.
Me, I was too mesmerized by that beam.
"GUN HA!!!!!!!!!!!" Karait yelled. I could see the beam spiraling towards Kaseen, who tried to hold it back with his hands, but there was an explosion of light. I was outta there!!!!
I was out as fast as possible, but the explosion was closing in on me. I powered up as a fast.....Wait.. where's Terrace? He's not alive, so he cant be killed.Then where is he?
"I'm approximately 3 feet away from you, Kio." Terrace's spirit voice said.
=Onoca=
I was several miles from Karait when I felt that power. "Gohan. Stop."
"Karait..is that him?" he asked, referring to the power.
"yes and no. It's a beam I don't recognize, but that's where the reading is coming from. The beam was created by Karait so technically yes but physically no."
"okay I almost got it." Gohan said. His confusion was obvious. "should we go back and check it out?"
I smiled, "why not?" I turned around and started flying back.
It took a while to get back because I wasn't flying as a fast as I was before, but I was fine with time on my hands. I needed some time to think. I was thinking about the plan me and Vegita had created. So many what-ifs. It was so dependent on Cell and Kio. That was worrisome, but I knew Kio like the back of my hand. Vegita had said he knew Cell well. He had been lying, but I was assuming Gohan knew him very well, since he had brought Cell's downfall. The entire plan would have to be reformed because now we are facing 2 people and we are 4. I stopped to think where we are so I wouldn't embarrass myself. I stopped just in time.
I landed, I something told me to stay above the ground. Karait was on the ground. HE wasn't dead. Kaseen wasn't there. He was dead. I just knew. Kio wasn't there. MY assumption was that he fled, knowing Io power to well. I sensed Cell's power faintly. He was a mile or so away. The once nice- looking landscape was covered in dust and dirt and crap like that.
"where's everyone? The only one I sense is Cell." Gohan said. HE was higher above me and Karait's body blended perfectly with the small patches of grass that had survived, so apparently he didn't see Karait.
"First, Gohan, you're looking for ki levels. Look for energy. Second, Karait's camouflaged. «
« uh.yeah okay..." he said. "oh here's Karait...where's Kaseen and Kio?"
"Kaseen's dead, Kio ran away." I said.
"hello?!"
"17? I didn't know you where still following us." Gohan said.
"oh jeez, now I'm loved." He said sarcastically. "what happened?"
"gee 17, if you were here, why didn't you just listen?" I asked.
"cause I didn't feel like it." He said. It was almost an excuse and I almost laughed. L
"is Kara still here?" 18 asked.
"wish I knew." I mumbled to myself. "Gohan, how do you get to that little namek dude?" I asked. Kara had told me a little about Dende, and his healing power and his leaderness.
"who Dende? Well...." he thought. "go that way," he pointed backwards, "for a few miles and then go up."
"uh yeah okay." I said and turned around. "you guys, check out Karait, he looks out cold."
"okay Onoca. But what are you going to do?" 18 asked.
I didn't answer.
To Be Continued....
Why is Onoca going to the Lookout? Is Kara still alive? Why is Trunks taking so long to collect the Dragon Balls? (Yes, that's where he's been) Find out in Cell's Return 11!!!!!
AN: Sorry to post this late, but I started this fic before the cell saga ended the first time, so Goten is extremely OOC. I really didn't mean to characterize him this way, but it just turned out. Sorry, Goten lovers (I know how you feel, I think he's so cute ^_^)
