Aquaria sat in the hospital wing of the stadium, where the injured were, waiting to see if Cindi was alright. A doctor came out, frowning.
"How is she?" asked Aquaria urgently.
"Not good, she has lost an arm and most of her legs." he frowned.
Aquaria, remembering how Cindi could regenerate herself like Cell had, breathed a sigh of relief. The doctor gave her an odd look, "Is she, uh, your daughter?" he asked.
"By adoption, she'll be fine," Aquaria smiled.
A nurse ran out of the operation room, distraught, "That- that thing grew it's legs and arm back!" she sobbed.
Aquaria walked past the two calmly and poked her head in the room, Cindi was slowly healing her injuries, with a dull expression on her face, "Don't know what happened. . ." she mumbled to herself. The operators had their backs against the walls, looking both horrified and terrified.
"Cindi? Are you okay?" asked Aquaria as she sat down beside her.
"Huh? Oh, fine. It's just. . ." Cindi gave her healing arm a strange look, "I could feel the energy leaking out of me, like water out of a balloon. . . Then Trunks shot me and it was all over."
Cindi hung her head, "I lost. . ."
Aquaria smiled and hugged her tenderly, "It doesn't matter. You're okay, that's what counts."
Cindi slid off the bed and stretched her arms, which were covered in blue armour, like her legs, because of the regeneration, "Can we go home now?" Cindi whined, "Most of the adult matches are already over, I just wanna go home and take a nap.'
Aquaria smiled softly and picked the seven year old up, "Sure, I just have to see Gohan first. His match with that weird guy should be starting soon. Will that be okay?"
Cindi nodded, "Sure, but don't get into any gossip sessions, they take forever!"
Aquaria giggled and put Cindi down so they could walk there.
Aquaria and Cindi had arrived a second too late, Gohan was already walking onto the grounds. Cindi looked at the people around her as Aquaria sat down and waited patiently for the fight to get itself over with. She saw a guy standing in front of her. He was her height, except he had purple skin and a white mohawk. Cindi laughed, "Man, you're so short!" she managed to stutter between laughs.
The guy turned to face her with a stern look on his purple face, "I don't see why you're laughing, we are of the same height," he replied coldly.
"Yeah but I'm seven!" she laughed.
The guy's face went an even darker shade of purple. Piccolo gave Cindi a dark look, "You should show a little more respect for-"
Cindi cut him off, "I know, midgets deserve respect. Sorry I laughed," she apologised, bowing curtly.
Aquaria, who was watching this, tried not to laugh as the purple guy fumed angrily.
"Midget?!" he seethed.
"I can see why you need a body-guard, someone might step on you," Cindi stated, trying to keep a straight face.
"Cindi. . . leave the midget alone," Aquaria asked politely.
That was the last straw, Aquaria could see miniature lightening bolts hit the ground around the purple guy as he started to power up, "I am not a midget!!!" he thundered.
By now the whole of the Z fighters, excluding Gohan, were watching the scene.
"Uh, then you have a good way of hiding your height!" Cindi grinned, "By the way, those are some neat earings! Are they from that shop that sells all this girl stuff, I think I've been in there. . ."
"These are not girl earings!" growled the purple guy.
"But, you are a girl, right?" Cindi frowned.
Aquaria buried her head in her hands, Cindi could be so unobservant.
"No I am not a girl!" thundered the guy.
"Heh, uh, oops. . ." Cindi laughed nervously.
Just then, every one's attention was on the fight as Gohan's opponent started to suck the energy out of him.
Aquaria put one and one together, 'I have to get Cindi out of here!' she thought, panic stricken. She swiftly walked out of the stadium, Cindi following close behind.
They had gotten as far as the outer grounds, when they were stopped by Yam, "And where do you think you're going?" he smirked.
Aquaria held her ground, protecting Cindi, "Home," she stated firmly, trying to walk past him.
Yam moved in front of her, "I don't think so."
Cindi looked at the guy's forehead, where a weird 'M' had been tattooed, "Moron alert!" she pointed out loudly.
Aquaria and Yam gave her a puzzled look.
"Well if an 'L' on your forehead means 'looser' then an 'M' must stand for 'moron'. Or 'meat- head'. You could be either," stated Cindi smartly.
"Listen kid, no-one tolerates a smart-ass. . ." Yam growled.
Aquaria interrupted him, "No-one tolerates a fat-ass either! Now move off!" she snapped.
"Woo! Go Mum!" Cindi cheered.
"She's your mother?" Yam frowned.
"By adoption," Cindi informed him.
Aquaria tapped her bright pink fluffy bunny slippers on the ground impatiently, "I told you to move meat-head!" she snapped.
"Fine, but the kid is coming with me," Yam stated plainly before he'd flown off dragging Cindi through the air by her tail, Aquaria just stood there in shock.
Cell watched the puddle-mirror in horror as he saw Cindi being kidnapped by Yam.
"Cindi!" he cried, trying desperately to think of a way to save her. He flew out of the cave, heading towards where King Yemma lived.
"Yemma!!!" thundered Cell.
King Yemma turned to face the desperate android, "Yes?" he frowned.
"I need to be brought back to life!" Cell stated firmly.
Two or three trolls that were in Yemma's office burst out into hysteric laughter. Cell blasted one of them into oblivion.
"No," replied Yemma sternly.
"No?! Listen you great oaf! I demand you resurrect me at once!" Cell bellowed, powering up.
"Do you really think I would let a mass-murderer loose on earth?" Yemma frowned, "Tell me why I should do this?"
Cell started, but turned to see the two remaining trolls listening, he raised his hand to them, palm up, "Sorry, but this is personal. Goodbye," he drawled, before blasting them out of the office. He turned to face Yemma again, "My daughter, Cindi, is in trouble. I have to save her," Cell informed him.
"Daughter?" asked Yemma.
"Yes. My eighth Cell junior. My, err, friend, Aquaria is looking after her," replied Cell sharply.
"Aquaria?" questioned Yemma.
Cell's face flushed red, "This is just stalling! I need to save Cindi and I need to save her now!" he bellowed, the office shaking with his rage.
Yemma thought for a moment, "One hour. If you kill anyone, you're right back here immediately, understand?" asked Yemma sternly.
Cell nodded soberly, his magenta eyes showing his determination clearly.
Cindi's arms were crossed, a 'I'm-very-annoyed-here!' frown on her face, her midnight-black, long hair blowing in her face, and Yam dragging her through the air by her tail. She was not amused.
"Do you mind? That really hurts!" growled Cindi.
Yam ignored her.
"Listen meat-head moron! That thing your holding is my tail! Not a leash! This is painful!!!" she wailed.
"Your screaming is painful!" Yam hissed.
Cindi went silent. For two minutes, "I'm bored!" she whined.
Yam tried valiantly to ignore her whining. It didn't work, "Would you shut up already?!" he barked at the protesting Cindi.
Cindi, half way through a sentence, went oddly quiet.
"Sheesh, somebody got up on the wrong side of the hammock," Cindi mumbled.
"Don't you mean 'bed'?" muttered Yam.
"I sleep in a hammock, beds are boring," replied Cindi vaguely. She tried to struggle free of his iron-like grip for the millionth time, failed, and went back to being dragged limply through the air. She squinted at a tiny figure that was flying after them. It was not Supopo-Bitchi, he was in front.
"Huh? Hey! Mr. Midget?! Hello!!! Somebody needs saving over here!!!" she yelled at the purple figure that was catching up to them.
Yam sped up.
"Excuse me?! He's supposed to rescue me! You're the villain! You're supposed to stop, fight, loose badly, then he's supposed to take me back to my Mum!" explained Cindi.
Yam continued to gain speed, the purple figure and him stayed the same distance apart for a long time.
"Why me?" moaned Cindi, her tail feeling like it was going to pop out, she watched the purple guy for a bit longer, quite bored with his valiant attempts to gain speed.
"Hey, meat-head!" snapped Cindi.
Yam turned his head around to face her, "What?!"
Cindi pointed to the purple guy, "Look, he's getting mad. I think you should let me go, or you could get your butt seriously kicked! Kidnapping me is angering him!" she pointed out.
Yam sighed, "No, you calling him a midget is angering him. He always speeds up in anger when you call him that. The guy is a bit touchy when it comes to height issues."
Cindi looked at the infuriated guy, then got an idea, "Hey! Purple dude! I've seen midgets taller than you! What? Do you grow that mohawk to make yourself look taller or something?" she yelled at the guy.
Severely annoyed, the guy continued to speed up.
"What? You little brat!" hissed Yam as he saw what she was doing.
Aquaria paced the grounds nervously, not knowing what to do about her daughter. She could hear footsteps coming towards her, she was too distraught to notice.
"Aquaria? Are- are you okay?" asked a familiar soothing voice.
Aquaria looked up, "Cell!" she cried, hugging him fiercely and bursting out into tears, "They- they took Cindi!" she sobbed.
Cell gathered her up into his arms, "I know, we'll save her. Don't worry," he assured her.
Cell took off and sped after the cluster of high energy signals. His rage against the ones who stole Cindi propelled his power, he sped past Goku and the others until they could see Cindi. Yam and the purple guy in the distance.
By now, the purple guy was only five meters away from where Cindi was being dragged along, watching him struggle to gain speed half-heartedly.
"Aw come on meat-head! We must be half way across the world by now!" complained Cindi.
"Almost," he muttered.
Cindi turned to see the purple guy, "Hi. My name's Cindi. What's yours?" she asked the purple midget.
"Hey! How come your asking his name but not mine?!" growled Yam.
"Because you're a meat-head and he's not," spat Cindi.
"Brat," Yam muttered to himself.
"Supreme Kai," he said as he tried to grab hold of Cindi.
"Oh. Long name! My real name is Cindi Nova Renleeall. But Mum calls me Cindi. So. . . what's up SK?" she asked casually.
'At least she's not calling me 'midget' any more' thought SK as he flew on.
SK made a wild grab for Cindi, but only managed to get a fist-full of her hair. He yanked sharply, trying to pull Cindi from Yam's grip.
"Owie! Owie! Owie!!! Let go you stupid midget!" wailed Cindi.
Cindi's tail squirmed against Yam's grip in pain, and then opened up into a funnel, as Cell had done in his first form to absorb people.
Yam, in shock, let go of her. Cindi was caught off guard and tried to fly so as not to crash into SK. But unfortunately, Cindi's tail, still in a funnel, whipped around behind her and, on instinct, started to suck SK up.
Cindi whipped around to see SK stuck half-way up her tail, "Aaah! Hey! Get out of there!" she protested, swaying her tail to try to get him out.
Yam watched with wide eyes, "You- you're related to Cell!" he gasped.
"Somebody get that midget out of my tail!" whined Cindi loudly.
Yam, remembering his duty, grabbed Cindi by the shoulder and wrenched her backwards, flinging SK out of Cindi's tail, and then speeding off towards the not-to- distant place he had to be.
Cell and Aquaria stopped behind a mountain close to where Yam had taken Cindi.
"You wait here, I'll get Cindi," announced Cell.
Aquaria caught Cell's arm, "No. I'll go, I'm the one that let Cindi be kidnapped, and I want to prove to the both of you that I can take care of her," Aquaria told him soberly.
Cell hesitated, "I only have one hour here, do you even know how powerful these people are?" he asked.
"Roughly, Gohan and the others are going to fight them, I can just rush in and pick up Cindi. And then we can all go for an ice-cream!" she beamed.
Cell smiled, "Just as brave, just as stubborn as usual," he smiled. Cell looked down at her hand, "You're. . . wearing the ring!" he stuttered.
Aquaria smiled gently, "Of course I am! I love you silly!"
Cell looked at her feet, "And you're still wearing the bunny slippers too."
Aquaria smiled and hugged him, "We can't waste time, I'll go get Cindi, if I'm not back in five minutes. . . It wont happen so don't worry," she added hastily before running off to save Cindi.
Cell stood there, a worried expression on his face, "Be careful Aquaria, I don't want to let you die twice. . ."
A/N: Sorry this is late! I might be updating every second day from now on, sorry! And just to let you know, I will be calling Supreme Kai, 'SK' from now on. Hey! Give me a break already! It's a long name! You don't see me typing 'Cindi Nova Renleeall' every time she says something! It's either 'SK', 'Purple Dude' or 'Midget' okay? And if anyone's got any questions, or has found an error in my work, or can't find the hidden meaning to Cindi's real name ;) Drop me a line! My e-mail thing is on my profile page. And yes I once was known as 'Demon Llama.' Okay, bye now! (
