~A.N. Ok all, new chapter. I have taken the liberty to divide the speaking
parts from the rest of the story, because FF.net is doing something weird,
and I thought this would be easier to read divided. Well now you can read
and learn what's been eaten atchya. You know what I keep wondering? If
Vegeta's father, King Vegeta, died wouldn't that make Vegeta king? So why
does he keep calling himself the Prince of all sayjins when in reality he's
the King of all sayjins, well that are left anyhow. Well ENJOY AND REVIEW!

Chapter 3
Something new
Piccolo and the others looked on in wonder. A large cave 30 feet or so high with a width of around 100 feet strafed in front of them. Its darkness preceded that of the area around them at that moment. The thin moonlight provided strange shadows to tease at every nerve the group had to spare. ~~"The Cave of Fears?"~~ Gohan asked. ~~"What is this? Some kind of joke?"~~ Vegeta added his questions harshly. ~~"Why'd you being us here?"~~ Goku asked his 2 cents. Piccolo waited to ask his question, however. Cestrilia looked at them. ~~"The cave of fears is a place where, if you enter, any fear ever sided in your soul will come to life. No joke. And I brought you here to as a test. First I need to know your names and species."~~ She said forthright. She was churlish, she was audacious, willful, she seemed to think of them as nonentities, she was very staid, she was just like Piccolo and Vegeta; she was aloof like them, but through simply looking into her eyes all you could see was anger, pain, and loneliness. ~~"What sort of test?"~~ Vegeta asked. Piccolo eyed the large cave. Cestrilia looked at him temporarily before looking away. ~~"You will see."~~ She said pithily. ~~"Now answer my questions before we start. Names and species please."~~ She said, her voice calm and patient. ~~"Goku and I am a sayjin."~~ Goku answered wondering deep inside himself what this was all about. He douched this as a test. ~~"I am Gohan and I'm half sayjin and half human."~~ Gohan answered, also eyeing the cave. Small growls and moans sounded around them, arousing every nerve in there bodies to there top senses. She looked up. ~~"A halfling.interesting."~~ She said and looked behind her as a loud monstrous scream eroded out of the cave to their ears. It didn't sound like anything alive, anymore at least. ~~"What was that?"~~ Goku asked shaken by the bloodcurdling scream that echoed still off the walls. ~~"Nothing, pay no attention."~~ She said and looked to Piccolo. Piccolo gave her a blank stare then thought about answering or not, but what would it hurt, eh? ~~"Piccolo, Namekian."~~ He stated. His answer was pithy. She nodded and looked to Vegeta. He looked at her; scorn seized his features. ~~"Vegeta, the prince of the Sayjin race."~~ He said as if she knew that she would give him a little bit of respect. Instead she treated him more belittle than before. ~~"Prince eh? Well your royal pain in the ass, you and Piccolo will take the left coordinate of the Cave. Goku and Gohan will take the right coordinate, and I will take the middle so I may observe."~~ She said in a hidden scoff manner. She began to enter the Cave, and as she did flashes of golden light flummoxed out of the cave. The fighters covered their eyes to protect them from the sudden turncoat of darkness. Looking up, the warriors saw long poles erecting from the walls, flamed with light. Following her into the cave Gohan and Goku observed the cave surrounding. The walls looked cavy enough, stone folded and struck out of the walls, light played between the cracks drafting shadows all about. The ground, however, was red and glossy; it rippled like water, but looked like blood, just like it had outside of the cave. Ahead of them was a building like thing. Its roof was flat and only inches from the top, glass lined out about it. Inside they could see a figure looking at them, yet they could not make it out. In fact, it looked as though it had no form, just a shadow. ~~"A check-in station?"~~ Goku asked. Vegeta, who had been watching the floor looked up to the building that quickly mounted in front of them. The figure that had been in the station slowly looked up, its eyes glowed blue, and then it stepped out of the building. It was a shadow, a living shadow at that. Piccolo looked on as Cestrilia walked closer to the being before stopping a foot in front. This world keeps getting stranger and stranger. He thought to himself as the two natives began to speak. ~~"Ahh Cestrilia. Long time no see. What brings you here? Testing strangers again?"~~ The shadow asked. It had the form of a human, but it was black and the only thing to the shadows didn't have that he did was eyes. Even as he talked no mouth moved, just the vibration of words. ~~"You always were very observant, Telint. Can I get permission to pass this time or will I have to destroy you again. Remember it took you 40 years just to get back ya know."~~ Cestrilia said calmly enough to send chills even up Vegeta's spin. The figure seemed to cower slightly as it made its way back into the building. ~~"Yes, yes of course."~~ Telint said pressing a button that made a thick line of red appear and disappear again as he let the group pass. ~~"No one makes it out alive, if your alive, when you test under Cestrilia, in fact I believe and have heard that she makes sure all she tests don't come back, in one piece at least."~~ Telint warned the group as they passed. Goku and Gohan got a bit of worry lining their features as they watched the girl in front of them. Her tail twitched slightly here and there. Vegeta grunted slightly. ~~"I guess we'll have to be the first ones to then."~~ He replied. Piccolo looked at Vegeta, his pride sometimes blinded him to the situation at hand. They were trapped in an unknown world, with beings, such as Cestrilia, that looked to kill them. Piccolo saw no way out of this. ~~"If the stories are true, then we have to be careful."~~ Piccolo stated low enough for hopefully the others could hear, but Cestrilia couldn't. Forming in front of them were three tunnels. On the right the tunnel was brighter than the middle and left one. Cestrilia turned to them. ~~"Listen up. I will only say this once. Go where you have to, I told you which tunnels earlier, if you don't remember, that's not my problem, that's yours. Any questions."~~ She said more than asked as if she didn't want any. ~~"Yes! Why are we here? Why don't you just show us how to get out of this sorry excuse for a world and get back to reality!"~~ Vegeta spoke up giving his usual 2 and 2. Cestrilia gave him a blank stare and crossed her arms. ~~"I have said there is no way out! And anyways you can't leave until you have passed this test. If you fail, you will either die in here, or trying to escape.and believe me.I'll make sure you leave.alive or not."~~
~Sorry this is kind short, but I had to so I could get tension going. I promise if you like the story so far, you'll like it even more the next chapters till the end! So stay toned and be ready for action! ~
