Greetings and salutations. It's me again. Thank you to all the reviewers of Slayer's Knight. There is more coming. I'm glad people like the team up.

This is the continuation of Phoenix Rising, as promised. Pleas review, I beg of you. I'd say review or I won't post anymore, but I'd be lying (hahahahaha).

See chapter two for disclaimers.

Thank you for your review's, Harry, Darklight and every one else. I'm glad your enjoying the story.

Big twist coming. Hold on to your hats.

Los Angeles.

The sorcerers chanted frantically. Now they had both Cell and Frieza to destroy Faith, they had to make sure…

A beam of light came through the portal. It solidified, revealing to very annoyed and very much alive warriors.

"Well it's about time." Vegeta said.

"Quit your complaining." Goku said. He looked around. "Candles, strange symbols on rocks, frantic guys in robes. This must be one of those mystic rituals Faith had told me about." He walked over to one of the tables. On the table, was an ornately carved chest. It was empty now, but it had held something, judging by the impression on the silk inside. "What do you think was inside?" Vegeta turned to one of the sorcerer's, picking him up by the collar.

"Well?" He said menacingly.

"T-the Amulets of J-joining. And there is nothing you can do about it. Soon, the girl…" Goku turned quickly. He walked over to them.

"What girl?" He demanded. The man looked between the two. Vegeta jerked him closer.

"He asked you a question." He said. The man gulped.

"Faith, the renegade Slayer." He said. "When they use the Amulet's, no one will be able to stop them."

"Who is they?" Goku asked. His sister was in trouble he needed information, and fast.

"Goku, Frieza's back." King Kai's voice echoed through his mind.

"What? Frieza? Then…oh no!" He turned to Vegeta. "Forget about him. We have to move." The prince nodded, throwing him through one of the column's forming the portal. The doorway flickered and closed.

"That takes care of that." He said.

"King Kai." Goku said. "You have to tell Faith and Buu to keep Cell and Freiza apart."

"Cell's finished. Gohan and Faith…Oh no! Goku, they didn't finish him." Goku grabbed Vegeta roughly.

"We need to…" Before he finished, they were gone.

Gohan landed next to Faith. Buu dragged itself to its feet. "Bad bug go boom." He said.

"I hope so." Gohan said. "That seemed a little to easy." A chuckle behind him convinced of that.

"How right you are." Frieza said. "Personally, I don't know how you expected such a pathetic attack to destroy him."

"Frieza? No way." Gohan said, shocked at the return of one of his father's toughest foes. "Trunks nailed you, hard." Faith stiffened. Freiza? The creep that destroyed Bardok? Alive? A grin stole over her face.

"What are you grinning, little girl?" He asked her.

"What you just said." Faith remarked. "Cell comes back, and we have to take you both out." Her grin faded, giving way to a look of rage. "Just like my father tried to do before you blew him, and the home I never knew, straight to hell!" Gold exploded around her. Frieza stared at her. "Yeah, I've been waiting for this. All right, I'll admit, I was holding back. So, the question is; do either of you really want to know what I'm capable of?" She heard a shout from behind her.

"Bug man's back." Buu shouted. Gohan looked first at Frieza, then at Cell, then finally at Faith. She looked seriously pissed.

"Well, Cell?" She asked the genetically designed killer. "Are you ready for what I'm really capable of?" He grinned.

"You sound like I should be worried. Believe me, girl, I have lived through death, twice. You do not scare me." Faith merely stood there, not bothering to look back. Frieza saw a feral grin on her face. It sent shivers down his spine.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever you reckon, bug boy." She said calmly. She looked over at Gohan and Buu. "You two better stand back." She focused inside, concentrated on bringing everything to bare. The gold around her flared. Frieza watched, as the gold grew brighter. He couldn't feel her power level; merely guess that it was reaching extremely high proportions. Cell, however, could fell it, and what he felt was unbelievable. It was higher than what he could ever be capable of. It was impossible. But there it was, and he was frightened.

"Whoa, what…is that Faith?" Yamcha asked. Dende was now standing with the others.

"Yes, it is." The young guardian said. "But how?"

"Man." Tien said, shakily. "That is intense. How is she doing that? There is no way…"

"Wait a sec!" Krillin said suddenly. "That can't be right."

"What is it, Krillin?" Bulma asked.

"I've known Goku longer than anyone, except Master Roshi. I know what he feels like. Faith has the same edge. So does Vegeta and, to a lesser degree, Gohan, Goten and Trunks." Piccolo nodded.

"The fighting power of a Saiyan feels different to that of an earth born fighter." He said. Krillin nodded.

"Right." He said. "Just then, I felt something different about Faith's power level. She isn't just tapping her Saiyan strength."

"But that isn't possible." Eighteen said. "She's a full blooded Saiyan, we know this now. What else is there to tap?" Piccolo thought of something.

"The Slayer." He said. Dende thought for a moment.

"It's possible." He said. He turned to Piccolo, who had, as a part of him, the essence of Kami, Dende's predecessor. "Could that really make that much of a difference?" Piccolo nodded.

"The Slayer is gifted with the power to fight demons and vampires. By bringing her here to train and fight, we introduced her to her unknown past, her Saiyan heritage, and opened new possibilities for her. It's entirely possible that her Slayer power's may have adjusted themselves to fit with her new state."

"In other words," Chi Chi said. "we may have the first Super Slayer on our hands."

Frieza looked on, horrified. "It isn't possible, she can't be this powerful. They told us…" Faith fixed a piercing stare at the dictator.

"What do you mean?" She demanded. "Who's they?"

"If you must know, you have annoyed someone to the point where they have summoned us to destroy you." Cell said, appearing next to Frieza.

"Faith! You must keep them separated. There is danger if they get close to each other." King Kai's voice echoed in her mind. She looked over at Gohan and Buu. They nodded. They had heard it too.

"All right then." She said. "Party time." She launched herself at Cell, attacking furiously, not holding anything back, and not giving him any breathing space. Cell furiously tried to block her attacks. At first, it looked like he could do it. He grinned at her.

"It seems I overestimated your abilities." He said. Faith grinned ferociously. "What are you smiling at?"

"Looks can be deceiving." She said. Her fist flew forward, catching him in the throat. She kneed him the gut before sending him flying with a vicious round house. "Let's see how you like this." She said. She held her hand, palm up, in front of her, concentrating. A glowing stake appeared, floating gently above her palm. "SLAYER STRIKE!" She yelled, pulling her hand back, then releasing the attack with all her strength. Cell gasped as the glowing stake pierced his heart. It didn't particularly worry him. He could regenerate that. What worried him was the fact that it had come so fast that there had been no way he could have dodged it. He stood there staring at her.

"Cool. I made it." A voice said behind him. He felt small fingers brush the inside of the wound. Then his entire being exploded.

Faith looked past the explosion. Behind where Cell had stood, there was a small boy. He looked kind of like Goten, except for the lavender highlights on the sides of his hair. "Goten?" The boy grinned.

"Kind of." He said. "I'm Gotenks." Faith nodded.

"The Fusion." He nodded. Faith smiled. "Cool. How long…" A glow surrounded the tiny titan as the effects of the Fusion wore off. When the light died down, Trunks and Goten stood.

"Nuts." Her youngest nephew said. "We took too long getting here." Trunks shrugged.

"At least Gotenks took care of Cell first." Faith looked around. She wasn't sure. It was too easy. She looked over at the battle between Gohan and Buu and Frieza.

"Buu gonna crush shiny head like bug." Buu shouted, releasing attack after attack. Gohan grinned.

"Not so easy now is it?" He said. "MA-SEN-KO-HA!" He crossed his palms, releasing the attack with as much force as he could. Frieza managed to block the attack, only to get nailed (repeatedly) by Buu. Explosion after explosion rocked the dictator as smoke surrounded him. Buu stood there, grinning. Gohan clapped it on the back.

"We did it!" Buu shouted. He grabbed Gohan, embracing the demi-Saiyan. "Buu and shiny man smashed shiny head." Gohan laughed.

"Yeah! We did it!" He yelled, then stopped. He looked over at the smoke, watching it clear. "Oh great. Looks like we celebrated early." He said. Buu dropped him.

They all looked as Frieza handed Cell some kind of amulet. "Very impressive." The genetically designed killing machine said. "It seems we underestimated you, but that ends now." The two murderers held the amulets out to each other. Now you will witness ultimate power." Frieza grinned.

"I'm going to enjoy this." He said as the amulet's touched.

Light exploded around them as their bodies merged. A pair of horns emerged from Frieza's head (Frieza stage two). He grew to Cell's size as the creature flowed into him. His tail changed into Cell's, and he grew wings. His face became a mixture of the two, but his colouring remained Frieza's.

"Now," the creature said, in a mixture of both voices. "you will fall before true power."

Hoo boy. How are they going to get out of this one (I don't even know and I'm the author!). I need some ideas. Put it in a review or email me at gpgailer@telstra.com Keep reading and reviewing. I'll get the next chapter up as soon as possible, which won't be for about two weeks as I am going away for the Chirstmas holidays, so hang in there. Tah.

Next: The final battle begins.

Doc.
