Terra felt the same, queasy feeling of being transported back to Kami's lookout. Because of the time difference, it was already morning at the lookout. Without thinking, Terra turned to Goku and started yelling at him at the top of her voice, "What the H.F.I.L do you think you are doing?! Put me back on the arena thins minute buster!!! NOW!!!" Terra yelled, her voice almost blowing Goku away with it's power. Terra glared at Goku with a look of utmost hatred, "DIE MONKEY SCUM!" She yelled at him, before turning around and storming away. It took a while for her to realise that she had been standing on the very edge of the lookout and had just walked over the side of the lookout with out even looking. Smooth Terra, very smooth.
Terra squeaked as she fell off the side, only for someone to grab her tail at the last minute, preventing her from falling, "OW!!!" Terra squeaked, her tail not strong enough to support her weight and so it was stretching so taut, she feared that it might snap off.
Someone yanked her back onto the lookout, Terra scrambled to stand up like a frightened animal, when she saw who it was that had saved her from falling. It was the boy from her prophesy, supposedly 'Gohan'. Terra's insides went cold, her large, dark magenta eyes widening to their largest. She almost choked in fear, the image before her, Gohan, kept flickering from him, to the image of him getting ready to destroy her. For a few moments, Terra could have sworn that she was back in the dream. In the dream, she could see him walking forwards, coming to kill her. In real life, Gohan began to walk towards her, curious about the strange Cell look- alike. Terra flipped, "Stay back!" she whimpered.
Gohan blinked, "Why?"
"Don't come anywhere near me you murderer!" Terra hissed, her eyes becoming wet in fear and emotion.
"Huh?" Gohan looked utterly perplexed, as did the rest of the Z fighters.
Gohan noticed that she was subconsciously stepping backwards, and that she might soon fall off the side, "Hey watch out! You're gonna fall!" Gohan warned her.
Terra took no notice of the minor danger, she narrowed her eyes and hissed, "Why would you care if I die? If I don't die today you'll kill me tomorrow!" Terra hissed, her every word laced with venom.
"Tomorrow?" Gohan blinked, 'The Cell games?'
Terra backed up until she was only half-standing on the edge of the lookout. Although heights had always frightened her, she feared this kid more than anything, because she had seen him kill her and she knew that it was him that would put her in her grave. She had never had a false premonition.
Gohan, still quite curious of her, stepped forwards, "So who are you anyway?"
Terra almost went mad, 'He's acting so calm! So friendly! How could this little runt have the power or the ruthlessness to kill both Cell and myself? In my dream he seemed so pitiless. . .' she thought fearfully.
"Hello?" Gohan frowned, 'Why is she acting so afraid?' he mused, taking a step closer.
Terra panicked, she was practically cornered by the one person she was most afraid of in the whole world. Terra's fear turned to raw animal instincts, she fought back like most animals, when they knew they had nothing to loose, they fought against the force even that they knew was immensely more powerful, in the hope that they might live. Terra did just that.
Terra swung to her right in an instant enabling her tail swung and dart forwards on an angle, headed straight for Gohan's face. Gohan tried to evade the tail, but he did not know that the tail was merely a decoy. Just as Gohan was lifting his right arm to block the tail's attack, Terra swung back to her left, her left arm outstretched and bent at the elbow. Her arm swung and hit the side of Gohan's face with so much force that he was literally knocked over, the entire arm movement looked more like a karate attack using the whole of one's arm. And the entire thing occurred in less than a second too.
Gohan stumbled and fell on his side, the blow shook his head up quite a bit. Terra, not even hesitating, ran past him and around the edge of the lookout, trying to find some way off it.
Terra stopped when some guy with lavender hair and a large bump on his head stopped her. Terra had not been told by Cell how the guy had gotten the bump on his head, but wasn't that curious either. She glared at Trunks, "Move."
"What the heck are you?!" Trunks frowned.
"Angry. Now get out of my way!" Terra hissed, her voice cracking in several places, she was afraid. She was trapped with a bunch of guys she knew could kill her in an instant. And the Gohan kid was probably angry enough to kill her for attacking him.
Terra turned around to try and escape the other way, and almost ran into Goku, "Ah!" she yelped.
"What did you do that for?!" Goku frowned at her, indicating to where Gohan stood, rubbing his head. Terra was inwardly satisfied that at least she had left a nicely sized bump on his head.
"Leave her alone Goku, she can't harm you," Cell's cold, piercing voice boomed firmly through the lookout. Oh he was ticked off all right.
Terra's face lit up, 'He came! He's going to rescue me and then everything will be alright again! . . . And then we will both get blown up tomorrow. Oh the joys of life.'
"Cell!" Terra cried happily, her eyes dancing.
Cell smirked kindly at Terra before glaring daggers at Goku, "What right did you think you have to kidnap Terra Goku?" Cell asked through gritted teeth, his eyes blazing coldly.
"Kidnap?! I rescued her!" Goku argued.
"From what? Her own kind? Why must you always argue even when you know you're in the wrong?" Cell spat.
"Hey! I never argue with anybody!" Goku growled.
"What do you mean by 'her own kind'?" Gohan asked, puzzled.
Cell looked down at Gohan, disgusted, or maybe even. . . apprehensive? 'Terra must be wrong, that runt could never kill me, let alone the both of us. . . What's that bump on his head?'
"Do you really think that Terra is a human?" Cell drawled, "She is obviously a bio android. Although her exact origins are still unknown, she is a bio android and there is evidence to support that," Cell told them diplomatically.
"And that is?" argued Goku stupidly.
Cell pointed at Terra, "What was your first clue? She has a tail. We share the same complexion, eyes, etc."
Terra still tried to get past Goku, though he kept blocking her from getting any further from Cell, "Cell!" Terra tried to get his attention.
Cell glared at Goku, "Let her pass."
Goku was about to reply when Cell suddenly powered up, causing ki to flare off all around him, as if someone had set him on fire, "Now!" Cell bellowed.
Everyone, except Terra, flinched when Cell fired up his ki. Terra seized the opportunity and ran forwards to Cell. Cell, who was still concentrating on the Z fighters, didn't notice Terra running up to him. Cell almost jumped when he felt Terra hugging him tightly, she was shaking slightly from the fear and shock of having to come to Kami's lookout. Cell was surprised that she could withstand the force of his ki that was radiating off him. Very few Z fighters could have come that close to him while he was powered up and survive too well.
Cell did not yet have instant transmission, but since he was powered up, his speed had increased so that he could move almost as fast to get back to the arena as instant transmission would have done.
Terra opened her deep magenta eyes and sighed appreciatively, "We're back. . ."
Cell nodded and hugged her tightly, "I promise never to leave you alone again," he whispered quietly to her.
