Oh and the rating goes up a little from here on. *repeats after CTKelly* "Amerthyst Dragon will update sooner, Amerthyst Dragon will update sooner."

Chapter 9: Let the fight begin!

Tien and Yumcha attacked Glacier with a bombardment of punches and kicks. Glacier blocked every one of their attacks. WHAM! Glacier got a punch in Tien's stomach, and a knee in Yumcha's. She grabbed Yumcha's wrist and threw him into Tien. Both of them flew into a cliff. Glacier's tail, which they all had found out now, was extremely sharp and she pierced both fighters through the chests in one stab. Krillin couldn't believe that two of his best friends had been killed in a matter of seconds. Vegeta couldn't hold back. He needed to fight. He powered up to Super Saiyan and flew up into the air. "FINAL FLASH!" Vegeta yelled as he fired the huge energy blast at Glacier's back. She disappeared. The blast hit the ground and exploded. The ground shuddered. "Vegeta! What are YOU doing?! You're lucky that blast didn't go any deeper, otherwise you'd have saved Glacier the trouble of blowing us up. You'd have done it for her!" Piccolo yelled at Vegeta. "SHUT UP NAMEK!" Vegeta yelled back. "At least I've taken care of the big bad bitch for you." He added sarcastically. Suddenly, a small energy ball went through Vegeta's chest. Glacier was standing on the cliff with her palm facing towards Vegeta. The group watched in horror as Vegeta's, now, limp body fell to the ground. "FATHER!!" Trunks yelled. Tears were streaming down his face. He blinked them out of his eyes and looked up at Glacier. He went to attack Glacier, but someone had grabbed his jacket and was holding it tight. He turned around and looked at Holly . "Trunks NO! If Vegeta was killed that quickly, do you actually think you'll have a chance?" Holly said desperately. He puled away from Holly's grip and flew up behind Glacier. He drew his sword, and with all his might, he swung his the sword over his head and was going to slice Glacier in half. She caught the sword and looked into Trunks' horrified face. She pulled Trunks closer landed a punch in his stomach. Glacier grabbed his shirt and pulled him to eye level. She laughed at how easy it was to eliminate Earth's Special Forces, so far at least. She held trunks out over the edge of the cliff and whacked him in the chest with her tail. He plummeted to the ground and created a crater around where he landed. Glacier landed in front of, what was left, of Earth's Special Forces. "Who's the next, supposed, challenger?" Holly was about to lunge at Glacier, but Krillin stepped in. he punched Glacier in the face and sent her flying backwards. She landed into a huge boulder and it smashed into pieces. She lay there stunned. "DESTRUCTO DISK!" Krillin powered up most powerful attack, and sent the disks flying towards Glacier. She stood up, and Krillin's disks barely missed her. The two disks exploded when Glacier sent two tiny energy balls at them. Krillin froze in fear. *Oh my god. She stopped my strongest attack.* She walked slowly towards Krillin. "Holly," Gohan turned to his sister urgently. "Get out of here." She nodded an turned around quickly, and was about to take off, but thought better of it. *I'd better stay close to the ground, otherwise Glacier will see me.* She began to run away from the battle. *Wait for a minute. No. I'm not going to leave my friends behind.* She turned around and moved slowly back towards the battlefield. She hid behind a large rock, sitting just behind Gohan and Piccolo. Glacier was still advancing on Krillin, but he was backing away, step by step. *Oh Shit!* Krillin took to the air, and began to power up a Kamehameha. Glacier created two, ice blue, energy balls and recited an incantation, in a foreign language. The energy balls suddenly froze. "Jagged Ice!" Glacier yelled as she threw the ice/energy balls at Krillin. He didn't know what to do. He, and the other on the ground, had never seen an attack like this before. Before Krillin could react, Glacier's attack had hit him. Instead of the expected explosion, where the ice balls had hit, Krillin was slowly being frozen. He tried to fight it, but with no avail. Soon, Krillin was frozen solid and he fell to the ground. He shattered into a million pieces when he hit the ground. Gohan and Piccolo stood there with shocked expressions on their faces. *Krillin* Holly was stunned. She stared at Krillin's shattered remains and desperately tried to stop herself from crying. She looked up and saw Glacier, suddenly, her sadness turned to rage. Holly couldn't control herself. She leaped from behind the rock, turned Super Saiyan and tackled Glacier with all her might. "Holly," Gohan groaned. "why didn't you go when you had the chance?" Piccolo was watching the battle intently. The pair heard something behind them. They turned around and saw a battered, but otherwise fine, Trunks. "Trunks, your ok." Gohan sighed in relief. He went to help Trunks, but Trunks moved away from Gohan. "I don't need any help. I'm fine." Trunks was looking over at the battle. *Holly please be careful. She's WAY out of our league.*

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The fight had taken to the sky and Holy was on the attack. She was attacking Glacier with everything she had. To everyone's surprise, especially Glacier's, Holly was managing to do some damage to her. They blocked each others attacks. *How the fuck can this runt hurt me, let alone keep up with me?* Glacier though as she dodged Holly's punch. Glacier, suddenly, managed to get a punch nto Holly's stomach. She doubled over in pain. Glacier was about to send Holly into the ground, but her clenched fists hit nothing but air. Holly had disappeared and reappeared behind Glacier. An energy ball appeared in Holly's right hand and as she threw it into Glacier's back she yelled "Kabasa Ball!". Glacier turned around, but the growing energy ball (A/N it grows larger as it reaches it's target), hit Glacier and forced her into the ground. Holy landed, ready for a counter attack. She stayed alert for a couple of minutes, but nothing happened, and she couldn't sense Glacier's life force. *this has to be a trick.* Piccolo was growing uneasy. *Glacier wouldn't have been killed that easily.* SMACK! Glacier suddenly appeared in front of Holly and kicked, hard, in the stomach. Holly went flying back into a wall. Before Holly could do anything, there was a blinding light. She then realised that the light was from a huge energy ball Glacier had released. The attack was just seconds away from colliding with her, and Holly knew she couldn't get out of it's way in time. She crossed her arms in front of her, to try and block the blast, but knew it wouldn't do anything. She had to close her eyes because the light form the blast was unbearable.

*This is it* Holly thought *I'm sorry Gohan. I should of listened to you.* She had expected the blast to hit her by now. Suddenly, she heard someone screaming in pain. She looked in front of her and saw some one taking the blast for her. She noticed the symbol on the back of the person's gi. It was Gohan. Holly watched as Gohan's body slowly disappeared in the light. The light faded and Gohan's body had disappeared. Holly stood there stunned. She let her arms fall to her sides and silent tears began her face. *Gohan.* She fell to her knees and just sat there , tears were blurring her vision. *Why Gohan? Why did you have to go and do that?* A breeze blew up and she felt something brush past her something brush past her hand. She blinked the tears out of her eyes and caught it. She looked at what had brushed past her hand and noticed the symbol from the front of Gohan's gi. She clutched it tightly and in her fist. She closed her eyes and put the piece of cloth into her pocket. *I'm sorry Gohan. I shouldn't have been so stubborn. It' all my fault. I'm too stubborn for my own good.* She stood up and gave Glacier a piercing look. Glacier was smirking, pleased at how easy that was.

*~*~*~*~*~*

*Gohan.* Piccolo's mouth was open and he was staring at Glacier. *Not even Gohan had a chance.* He looked at Trunks, who was clenching his fists and also had tears streaking down his cheeks. He looked at Holly, who had just lunged at Glacier.

*Theses two are the only hope for the universe.* Piccolo took his cape off and droped it onto the ground.

*~*~*~*~*~*

Holly lunged at Glacier and threw a couple of punch/kick combos at her. She didn't care if she got killed, just so long as she could hurt Glacier as much as possible. They broke away from each other and took to the air. Holly powered up. "Ka.me..ha..me.." She powered up even more and an energy ball appeared in her cupped hands. "HA!" She yelled as she released the biggest Kamehameha wave she had ever created. There was a massive explosion. Holly was trying to catch her breath as smoke surrounded her. She turned around and threw another energy ball into the smoke. There was another small explosion and the smoke cleared to reveal Glacier clutching her left shoulder. *The runt got me. I can't believe the runt got me. Even when I had my power totally concealed. This girl is something else. Pity she's gotta go.* Holly smirked at Glacier's shock. "Don't cocky runt. I've just been toying with you." Glacier growled. "JAGGED ICE!" Glacier threw the attack at Holly at an amazing speed. Holy dodged them, but barely. SMACK! While Holly was dodging the attack, Glacier caught her off her guard and kicked her hard in the back. Holly crashed into a rocky hill (cliff thingy) and the rubble piled up on top of her.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Holly!" Trunks was about to go and help her when Piccolo grabbed his wrist. Trunks looked back at him, confused and frustrated. "Piccolo, let me go. Holly needs my help!" "No trunks. You have to stay here. You can't help her just yet. She'll be fine. I've figured out that you and Holly are the only ones who can save this world. Not just yet, but later when both of you are stronger." Trunks looked at Piccolo with a surprised look on his face. "The rest of Earth's Special forces and I aren't meant to play a part in this battle." He let go of Trunks' wrist. "Trunks, I want you to look after all of your loved ones. Especially Holly." He looked at Piccolo in surprise. "How did-" But he cut himself off. *I shouldn't have said that.* "I've known all along. You and Holly are the only who can bring peace back to this universe." Trunks closed his eyes tightly. He couldn't take all this in. "But Piccolo, how can-" Trunks looked up and saw that Piccolo was gone. He looked towards where Glacier was and saw Piccolo flying towards her. Piccolo threw a punch at her, but Glacier dodged it and counter attacked Piccolo with a punch in the stomach. He coughed and his lifeless body fell to the ground. "Well that was, almost too, easy."" Glacier turned around and took off behind the ridge. Trunks just stared. He saw a saiyan space pod shoot up into the sky.
