Chapter 3-The Beginning of the End
Another horrific explosion. The forests' trees and bushes lay in piles of cinders and ashes, scattered around the center of the huge craters that now littered the once serene forests. The planet tremored again mildly as a huge surge like wave of energy pushed itself out from the center of the forest, followed by a huge explosion and gusting winds equivalent to typhoons and fire spouts that pried out for the cloud ridden dark night sky.
Sinn's eyes glowed a deep dark amber orange with all the colors of the natural flames licking at the surface. Her hair was defying gravity through the huge winds, billowing out behind her, like an ebony black silk cape. Her fists were clenched and turning a dark shade from the lack of blood from how tight she clenched them., Every single one of her muscles were flexing rapidly and violently.
"How dare he!" She roared again, another massive surge of her psychic infused energy billowing out from her body, her eyes flickering a bright flash of silver before returning to the glowing fire. A huge column of fire erupted from the trebling ground a few hundred feet away in the depths of the crater splattered forest. The column was sucked back into itself suddenly and it erupted in a ball of deep dark energy, creating another of the craters.
"How dare he! I curse thee, Seru! I curse you! YOU! You! How dare you!" She screamed again as more energy surged, this time, a huge fire spout that swallowed all the other craters emerged a few miles in front of Sinn. It engulfed all the forest and half the cliffs and rocks that stood in front of Sinn.
"Seru...." Her body suddenly stopped and her hair fell limp and her eyes paled as the pupils returned. Tears fought to surface but she simply blinked them back, refusing to believe he had actually affected her in any way.
Memories returned and she cussed herself, shoving them back with another surge of her raw energy, thus beginning the entire process all over again.
Cell's eyes opened suddenly, the magenta hues flickering in a bright fusion of pain and relief. His face was completely blank and unreadable as he stood in his neutral position as always, arms folded tightly across his chest and his head lowered slightly but proudly.
'She's at it AGAIN. If she keeps this up, there will be no planet left for me to purge.' He glanced at the horizon and smirked with all the sinister ness he could muster.
'Finally. I thought tonight would never end. Dawn.' Cell's eyes opened suddenly as he felt a huge burst of wind and a massive jump in her ki levels before the Earth shook again, even at his side of the planet. For a moment he was off balance, but he quickly used his ki to settle himself and the Earth stopped trembling. He turned back to the North horizon, still smothered in the deep dark blue velvet he was beginning to loathe as he knew it meant, she'd be awake...
Cell's eyes closed again and he returned to normal, her ki no longer sensible. She was gone, her body evaporating into nothing more than a thick mist of black particles.
He remained silent, no birds singing as he had destroyed them all the first morning and the rest had learnt not to approach him. He smirked smugly to himself as he remembered why Sinn was so incredibly pissed off in the first place.
~~~\/\*/\/~~~
It was just turning dark again, for the 3rd time. The sky darkening deeper and richer blue with every passing second. Everything was again drowned in the shadows of life. Silence... An eerie silence drowned the arena. Cell stood arms folded in the center, back to reality. His face scrunched up like the twisted ugly way someone who was facing their worst phobia had theirs. Beads of sweet were tracing their trails down his face, dripping off his chin. His eyes were clenched shut and his fists were clenched as they remained folded.
'How dare her! How dare her kiss me! I am the ultimate perfection and she knows it! I should snap her like the insignificant twig she is! I should murderer and I should never of let her live so long! How dare I! NO! I refuse to believe this is my doing! She was the one who did this! It is her fault I am so utterly angered! It is her fault I am now screaming at myself, punishing myself! I am the one... It was NOT MY FAULT!!!' Cell's chaos tore at him and he could not control his temper. He took it out on the closest thing to him, forming a huge ball of raw electrified energy in his hand, powerful enough to destroy the planet itself and threw at the first thing that moved.
The bat didn't stand a chance, as it was torn atom from atom before it even knew it was being attacked. The huge ball of sparking energy flew upwards, vanishing into the night sky before a huge explosion symbolized it had collided with something.
"What's the matter Seru? You seem angry." Cell's eyes flung open and before he could control his temper and question his actions, he found himself, with his open palm at Sinn whom had once again perched on the South West pillar before she had been rudely shot at.
Cell glared in raw rage at the now vacant pillar, wishing she was still there so he could take some more of his rage out on her.
"That was highly uncalled for." He whirled around again and his scowl turned to a yell as he threw another four of his energy blasts at her. She vanished again into a mist of particles, allowing the blasts to throw straight through her. She again reassembled and took on a fighting stance.
"Surely you can't be this angry over a little kiss?" Another powerful blast but again she disappeared into her mist like sanction before again reassembling into her form.
"YOU... HOW DARE YOU SHOW YOUR FACE HERE!!! YOU ARE NOT WELCOME AND NOW YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR INSOLENCE!!!" Cell roared, firing random blasts at where she had once again stood. This time Sinn didn't leap out of the way or disparate. Instead she held out her hands and her eyes flashed the deep color of fire she always did when she was using a power or just generally angry. Cell's attacks deflected off of her force field, invisible, but there, up into the sky before flying off in every scattered direction, exploding up large areas on impact.
Luckily they were away from almost any contact and no one was harmed.
"Seru, I demand you calm down."
"YOU DEMAND NOTHING OFF ME DEVIL! NOW LEAVE ME!" The comment obviously stabbed at Sinn and her eyes glowered and paled before glowing brighter before. A deep scorn of remorse staining her dark lips. She kept her hands up and took a few steps back, subconsciously symbolizing she wasn't going to try and out do Cell, and that she was in submission to him.
"Seru... Listen to me. I have a right to be heard."
"You have no rights, as you are nothing but a devil! Everything you said yesterday, everything was a lie! You demons or devils or whatever other appendage of hell you are, are the reincarnations of evil, you are the darkness of the planet and you are sinisterly seductive! Angels are your enemies, and I will not stand by YOUR side! I shall stand by there's! I will keep you until light of the sun strikes your face! I will keep you in the light while they come for you!"
"Seru! Shut up and listen! This is unfair and I will not stand for it! I am not evil! I am not cruel or dark! I was not trying to seduce you either! But you are stubborn, as all mortals are, and you will not listen! Another of your mortal traits! You think you are king of this planet, and yet you will not even listen to it, nor will you listen to me! Now stop being so ignorant and self absorbed for a minute or two and let me speak!"
Cell's eyes flickered madly with her insults but he finally silenced his raging for a moment, giving her the chance to speak on her own, and his curiosity finally settled in, making him want to hear her out.
"Seru, I think you have a lot to learn. But bluntly speaking, I do not even know why you are so angered? What cruel mortal restraint is causing you this outburst?"
"You." He snarled angrily. Sinn frowned and shook her head.
"Me? You were fine last I saw you. You were not angry with me so I'll assume you are so pissed off at one of two things; the fact i actually knocked you to the ground or the fact I kissed you. Possibly both."
"I'd choose the later." He scorned. Sinn snuffed and shook her head lightly.
"If you'd call that a kiss anyway. It was just me brushing my lips against yours. It wasn't like I was trying to imitate the mortal invention known as a vacuum cleaner and suck your face off." Cell frowned, his anger flickering at her sudden lack of respect for the immense knowledge and experiences from he ancient world she possessed.
"Seru, are you familiar with your history?" Cell suddenly calmed down at the question. The prospect of showing off his immense intellect was just to much to remain angry with.
"I am. Be more specific."
"Years ago, Centuries ago. I mean hundreds of years ago, when time was still young. The ancient Babylon. Before Cyrus the Persian adventurer and king of the 4 Kingdoms existed. Are you aware then of Jewish traditions?" Cell thought for a moment, scanning his memories before he nodded.
"I am familiar with their traditions. A few of them. As to why are you questioning me?"
"What was their greeting for religious members, for friends, for family?"
"I... I am not sure."
"Let me tell you. Back then, this was not looked down on as cruel, as immoral or weird as it is now days. Even if it was of the same gender, which often it was. A kiss on the lips, held for a few second before two kisses on each cheek. Remember I come from these times. I was raised in these times."
"From the same place?"
"I was born in Egypt where my mother was born, and her mother before her. However, my father was a French explorer and I was taken with him on his journeys. I remember being left with my family in Babylon for a few years before returning to Egypt. I grew accustomed with these traditions and I was merely bestowing them to you before I realized that you do not come from my era and you did not realize what I was actually doing."
"I... It still does not matter. What you did is inexcusable and you are only making yourself appear more as a...." He held his tongue for a moment before he smirked, his eyes flickering with a sinister glare. The evil flicker in his cold pale eyes only made Sinn step back a bit in fear of that glare. She knew that glare as she had that exact glare in her eyes when she tortured and killed her human prey. It was the glare of pure menacing evil. The glare you only ever had if you were about to destroy another life.
Subconsciously Sinn braced for every physical attack he could surprise her with.
"What is that word that humans say?... Are yes..." Cell drew back on his own memories, his glare only growing icier and icier. He knew this was going to scar her as she was a woman with such an incredible mind that it did not take much to tear at its fragileness compared to someone with not quite such a powerful mind... They would probably discard an insult or an attack as if it was nothing... But Cell knew it was going to scar her... forever, it would scar her.
His tongue danced blissfully as the word, the one word that would bring her world crashing to its knees around her... The one word that would trash her existence because the era she came from would of thought the blasphemous word such incredible rudeness...
"A slut."
Cell wallowed in her reaction as she suddenly froze, her mouth ajar, her eyes dilated in horror. It was true. A word like that, from the era she had been raised and sculpted in was the worst of all insults and bore into with such incredible agony... She shook her head, trying to pretend he hadn't said, 'it' but she couldn't. She refused to believe Cell, being such an incredible intellect and of nobility, would stoop so low as to use the word she dreaded.
"W... Wh... What did... you... call me?" She croaked, unable to speak.
"A slut. You seduce men for the simple pleasure of fulfilling your evil desires, an incubus if you must. Yes... You are a slut my dear, and a morbid horrid example of one." Sinn didn't move. She stood, staring at him... The bio mechanical android she had given four years to protect and to bring him safely into the light to do what she could not and he repaid her by calling her the worst name the creation of mankind could call her. A slut.
She remained, staring at him, her anger beyond infuriated, her sadness at a despairingly low, her reasoning, long since abandoned her... The only thing that kept her from tearing him apart was her complete shock... her disbelief that the man she was slowly beginning to accept as he close friend had done such a low thing...
"I..... I can't believe after all we've been through... You'd call me a slut."
"What's so hard to believe devil? That I actually said it, or that I said it with passion and with the belief that you deserved it." cell braced and let her slap him hard across the face as he had been expecting.
"How dare you!" She snarled angrily, fighting with all her dignity and pride from tearing into him with all this anger and rage... She was truly fighting it back. If she hadn't been given the ability to control her abilities and anger, she probably would of lost all control now and gone on a rampage.
"How dare you!" She repeated, a little louder this time, her eyes burning with the brilliant colors of a natural wild bush fire.
"HOW DARE YOU!" She screamed, bringing her face closer and closer to his, screaming louder and louder. Cell frowned, backing up a little. he hadn't been expecting her to be this aggressive. He could feel her hot breathe against his cheeks, her body heat from hers against his... She could feel her anger radiating from her body.
For some strange reason, he was attracted to it. He was attracted to her anger, as he was her perfume that now filled his nostrils but harsher, engulfing him from her closeness. He could hear the angelic heavenly tone through her piercing roars of anger. He was attracted to the accent she screamed at him with... Why did he anger her so?
He was regretting it now... Only as he had complicated matters a little more rather than keeping it simple as he preferred it.
"How dare you call me a... a ... Slut! Of all the disgraces! Of all the horrid things to say! You inconsiderate fucked up excuse for a mortal! No wonder your breed is doomed to the annihilation to the muddy filth it rose from! You scum! You... You... Your not even worth my time! I regret ever doing anything for you Seru!" With that, he watched her warmth turn icy cold as she vanished into her mist, her sanctum and it to vanished into the atmosphere.
He watched it vanish into the early night and he smirked, glad she was finally gone.
~~~\/\*/\/~~~
Cell's magenta eyes pierced the horizon as he watched the sun rise up over the East. The night from hell had finally ended and he could remain in peace, undisturbed from 'her' and think straight. For a change.
Only deep down inside he knew he had done something he would forever regret...
