Kate slowed to a walk. She had been running for a while and was finding it hard to breathe.
"Damn asthma." She muttered to herself and kept walking. It was the only thing she and Amber didn't share. Amber needed glasses and Kate had asthma. Pulling out a small blue inhaler she took to puffs and replaced it in her pocket.
After a while she began to feel better. Looking around at her surroundings she realized she had no idea where she was. Mountain's and trees reached the sky on all sides.
"Perfect." She sighed and walked into a large clearing. "Just perfect. I land in a place where someone hates me for no reason, yet seems to have fallen in love with my best friend, the guy tries to capture me or something to find out why he hates me, then I piss him off and find myself last. Lovely day, today."
With another sigh she turned to see if she could find her way back when she sensed something flare up behind her. Turning, the only thing she saw was green and black before she was sent flying into a tree.

Vegeta, paced the mountain top they were supposed to meet at. Of course the others would be late. he could expect nothing else from those buffoons. What bothered him was the odd sense of two high power levels spiking and fading now and then. Suddenly he felt a blast of wind as something went whizzing past his head. With a start he looked up to see Kate land on one knee and skid back slightly before taking off again. From the look on her face she wasn't just exercising. He watched her speed off down the mountain side after a green and black lizard like creature coming up the mountain. Vegeta gave a gasp. Kate was going after the android Cell, who was hosting a tournament. There was no way she could stand up to him.
About to call out for her to run when he had to duck to avoid being knocked down when Cell sent her flying with a fast punch. Landing beside him, Kate gave a small laugh.
"Well, I'm going to feel that in the morning." Groaning slightly she stood up and brushed herself off, ducking a large amount of energy sent their way. She looked at him. "I take it you do this daily?"
"Not daily but close enough." Vegeta answered shortly focussing on Cell. "How can you still be standing? He knocked you right in the face."
Kate touched her cheek which was already showing signs of a bruise. "Haven't the slightest idea." She answered truthfully. Then she spun on a heel and held her hands in a cup form.
"What are you doing?" He started then jumped back as a yellow blur sped up to Kate's cupped hands then went flying at the creature when she lifted them.
"Something Amber and I have made a habit of." She said then ran down the rest of the way to help her friend fight.
Shaking his head Vegeta joined them trying to wrap his mind around someone winning an impossible fight.
Amber nodded when Kate glanced at her questioningly. They were going to have to be careful with this one. He was stronger than anyone they had faced before. Suddenly Amber found herself smacked against a tree that Kate was standing beside trying to analyse the enemies weakness.
"Don't laugh!' She said when Kate chuckled, convieniantly forgetting to take her own advice as she noticed that the tree had been shoved backwards slightly.
"I take it this calls for your little surprise?" Kate asked as she helped the blonde up and watched the other Z-Fighters battle the android.
"I don't see why not." Amber brushed the dust off her pants and stretched her arms. "I want to get this over with as quickly as possible. I was having a very interesting conversation when you interrupted."
"Well excuse me for breathing." Kate exclaimed in mock hurt, while Amber closed her eyes in concentration. She stood in front of her friend to protect her while she gathered the energy. "You might want to do that quickly!" She gasped as Cell landed a punch right on her lower ribs but managed to keep on her feet while Piccolo knocked the lizard like android away.
"You okay? What is she doing?" He asked at Kate's short nod and mischievous grin.
"A surprise." She replied then grabbed his arm and jumped out of the way and Amber announced she was ready. "Crap." she muttered to herself. She had landed in a way that she had to jump in front of Amber to get back to the others.
Amber, temporarily weakened to a point where she couldn't move, looked up at the clouds of dust in front of her, ignoring the looks of utter disbelief on the faces of her newfound friends. Suddenly, she heard as gasp and echoed it with her own as the dust cleared. There, still standing, was Cell. "H..how?" She could barely speak as the android spotted her and went flying at her.
"NO!" Kate took a flying leap and landed right in front of Amber as Cell spun. She cried out in pain and landed on her side while Amber looked on in shock. Going through Kate's back and out her chest, was the androids tail. Kate closed her eyes against the pain and tried to pull it out without success. Then, just as suddenly, she was gone, a pile of clothes laying on the ground where she had been only moments before.
"Why you little..!" Amber looked up, despite the tears, her eyes burned. "I am going to destroy you, you MONSTER!!" As she yelled she raised her hands and pointed them at the monster, she waited for the energy to reach its peak then charged Cell. Slamming her hand into his stomach she released the energy fed by her rage.
"Damn asthma." She muttered to herself and kept walking. It was the only thing she and Amber didn't share. Amber needed glasses and Kate had asthma. Pulling out a small blue inhaler she took to puffs and replaced it in her pocket.
