Love the reviews. Keep 'em comin'.
Chapter 4
Gemma sat in the meadow and thought hard. 'My son is a miniature replica of myself, and you are a miniature replica of your father'. 'My heritage? My mother was one human? What happened to her? This is all very confusing, but I think I know what he was getting at.' He stood and walked back in the direction that Cell was.
When he got back he noticed Akira was with Cell, in an embrace. As he got closer Akira lifted her head and told Cell that he was back. She looked a bit happier than the last time he saw her. Obviously Cell had told her what he had done.
"Cell do you think you could train me?" he asked very timidly. Cell looked at Akira. She nodded her head.
"Go. Train him like you trained me," she told him.
"Alright. Gemma as soon as you find a way up that plateau, I will train you," he said as he pointed up at it. Gemma looked at the plateau. It was the same one that he had gotten up on when Akira had left.
"But…" he only got that word out when Cell told him that he cannot climb up it and Akira will make sure that he didn't. They kissed once before Cell flew up and landed right in the middle of the plateau.
A couple of days later Gemma was whining about Cell being too hard on him.
"Why must he be so hard on me," he asked Akira.
"I told him to train you the same way he trained me. He is merely testing you," she answered back.
The week that Gemma had was just about over, and Akira had to take him back to the complex.
"I'll keep trying to figure a way up there without climbing," he warned Cell. Akira then flew him back to the complex where he promptly said good-bye, mother. Akira was shocked. 'He really is as smart as his father. He figured out who I really am.' She smiled as she watched him walking into the building. She was now happy. But, before she left, she put her hand on her stomach. (Guess why)
A month went by. Gemma trained himself long and hard. He had figured out how to fly. He was just waiting for Akira to come back for him. He wanted to test his power out on Cell. See if he was a challenge, even if a small one. He was also looking forward to hearing his parents tell him what really happened when he was very young. 'Maybe the dream has something to do with this. Maybe it was telling me that I was going to find out who my parents were and what really happened to me. Wow, I can't believe that my father is Cell, the most powerful warrior on the planet.'
Another month went by. 'Where's Akira. Did she forget about me? No, she would never forget her son, but why isn't she here? Did something happen to her?' Just then the head of the complex walked in.
"You have a note from someone, maybe it's a secret admirer," he said with a suspicious tone. Gemma grabbed the note from him. It was from Akira. She was apologizing that she didn't come last month for him. She had other things to attend to, and they were more important than training him. He immediately felt like his mother didn't want him around, but he dismissed it. The note told him to go to the same spot where she flew him away, and Cell would be there to take him.
He did what he was told and found Cell waiting in that secluded alley. Cell guided him to their destination. It wasn't the same spot as last time. When they landed Cell inspected Gemma.
"What?" he asked.
"Last time we saw you, you brought some friends. I know that you didn't know. I believe they're tracking you. They probably want to get Akira back," Cell responded. Gemma felt guilty now. He didn't want to cause any trouble for his parents.
"What do you mean get Akira back," he asked.
"I told you, your mother was once human. They used her for an experiment to try and clone me. I didn't like seeing her suffer like she did. Being locked up in a glass jar filled with all different kinds of substances to keep her from breaking out. Although she never would have. She doesn't strike me as the violent type. Any way, I 'saved' her from that horrid place and I can bet that those idiots at the complex don't remember what they did to make the experiment work. So they've probably gone through a hundred people to find the combination again." Cell finished his search he found a tracking device and destroyed the stupid thing. "You can stay with us as long as you like now. I don't think Akira would mind you staying with us indefinitely. So, what are you going to do? Stay or go back?"
"I think I'll stay, that place was too boring anyway."
Well, it looks like Gemma is free now, and what did Akira think was more important than training Gemma?
Tell me what you think was going through her head, and what do you think is going to happen in the future of this little ficcy?
