Crystal Lake
It was silent; a simple breeze was the only noise. Both warriors stood there waiting for it to begin. Mystic slowly blinked, and by the time his eyes were open there was Android 6, attacking him. Mystic leaned back allowing 6's kick to sail right over him, he then did a back-flip and kicked 6 in the back of his head. 6 flew aside but caught himself and flew back. The two started fighting. Mystic was dodging most of the attacks but while they were fighting, 6's chest opened up and shot Mystic. That caught Mystic off guard and gave 6 a slight advantage. Mystic held up his arms, trying to block the onslaught of kicks, punches and bullets. They started flying backwards (forcing Mystic to back up) until 6 slammed Mystic into a large rock formation. 6 grinned as he continued punching harder so that the rocks behind Mystic started to crumble. With one final punch Mystic flew deep into the rocks. 6 flew up and fired a ki-blast into the rocks blowing it up. "Mighty Mystic why won't you put your heart into this? Maybe I should find and kill Tina?" Taunted 6. He stated laughing but stopped as the entire area started shaking, then bright light shot out of many cracks in the pile of rocks where Mystic lay. "What?! I've never felt a power level like this before. I...I...I. Can't even sense it anymore it's too high!" Yelled 6. Suddenly the pile of rocks blew up and dissolved in the energy given of by Mystic. Mystic looked like a SSJ4 in SSJ form, 6 was amazed. "But you…" Suddenly Mystic's fist hit Android 6's face sending him flying into the ground. Mystic raised his hand in the air and created a ball of energy. Android 6 scrambled up and started running away. Mystic took aim and fired. "Angel Wings Attack!" The blast sailed down and slammed into Android 6's back sending him forwards into a sharp rock. Before the rock speared them their 30 minutes ended and they split apart. They lie there dying as Mystic landed near them. "Never, ever think about hurting Tina or I will kill you without a second thought." With that Mystic flew off towards his special thinking spot. Androids 1 and 3 lie there. "Who was that?" Asked 3, hurting. "That was one of the ultimate Super Sayjins." replied Uno. "What?" "There's levels higher then 4 and that I believe was the one step higher." "He went Super Sayjin 5?" "Yes and it changed him, he left us to die." Amazing enough, Android 3 started to cry.
Tina rode her hover bike across the green fields towards no where. She has barely slept in three days due to her reoccurring nightmares. She closed her eyes for a second and almost fell asleep but the feeling of tree branches brushing against her face woke her up. She screamed and slammed on the breaks. When she had come to a complete stop she got off her bike and took off her helmet. She was amazed at where she was, an open area with a beautiful lake whose water looked like glass or crystal. There was no one around and a small rock formation with a waterfall coming out of it. The surrounding trees provided shelter from the harsh sun, rain and winds but it also allowed in the perfect amount of sunlight to keep the entire area warm. Tina smiled and set her stuff down; she then lie down on the shore. She closed her eyes and was able to sleep a few hours without any nightmares.
Raditz and Super Android 2 found Uno and 3 lying in a pile of rubble, hurt. "What happened to you two?" Asked Raditz as he helped 3 up. "I think it was Mystic but I'm not sure. We fused into the more powerful Android 6 and he couldn't even sense Mystic's new power level." Said 3 weakly. "It seemed that he went from normal form to SSJ5, I believe, in an instant as soon as 6 told him that he'd kill Tina." Stated Uno. "Luckily his body was able to stand such a power rise. In normal conditions a jump to that level would kill a man, tearing his body apart but Mystic…It just shows how powerful he really is. Who knows, he may even find a level beyond 5." "Yeah but when he was SSJ5 he was almost evil. Normally he'd help the fallen after a battle, this time he warned us and left." "That's weird." Android 2 stated. "Maybe you'll be re-made later to be stronger?" "I don't know." Muttered Uno. "Maybe that burst of power is really going to kill him soon. What would we do without Mystic?" Android 3 wiped his tears away, "You guys we cant think like that. I remember once Mystic told me a saying. 'If you go into a battle thinking you are going to lose then you will lose.' We just have to have faith in him. I know that he won't abandon us." "I hope you're right." Said Raditz as he and Android 2 carried Uno and Android 3 back to the ship.
Tina awoke to a breeze hitting her body. She slowly sat up rubbing her eyes. She saw ripples in the water as if someone dropped a pebble into it. She then looked towards the center of the lake. She double taked because there, hovering a foot above the water, was this glowing, golden angel. Then she realized it was no angel, it was actually her Golden Warrior. He stood there with his back to her, his long golden hair moved as if it was in a gentle breeze, the fur covering his arms, back and legs was also golden, as was his tail which was just there, not wrapped around his waist. It seemed to her that his eyes were closed and his head was back. His fists were also clenched. She gasped as she saw a drop of blood form on his fist then slowly drop into the water. She felt her own tear form as another red drop fell into the water. She then noticed a small trail of blood in the water; his body had cuts all over it with a little bit of blood coming out of it. Suddenly she screamed. "Mystic no!" He turned around slowly and saw her for a second before falling out of SSJ5 and into the water.
The water was colder then normal. Mystic opened his eyes and saw the blueness of the water that surrounded him, he sighed, momentarily forgetting where he was and closed his eyes. "Where do I belong?" He thought to himself. "Even when I was very young I've always wondered that. Where do I belong? Do I belong with my own kind, but there's barely any left. Do I belong on the Planet Great 5? If I did then I wouldn't have taken it over so brutally. Do I belong here on earth, with Tina? I only dream that this is where I belong. Here on this little blue planet with Tina but there's so many things telling me that, this isn't supposed to be true, like Trunks. But there's one big thing telling me that this is true, my heart. My heart was once an empty void but she filled it up with so much goodness and she and I barely talk. I need to say more to her, I need to be with her. I wonder if she thinks I'm a bad guy? I mean I did come to earth and challenge all her friends to an ultimate battle. My androids did kill some of her friends. Does she hate me for that? I went to SSJ5 twice for her, from normal form too, not from SSJ4. Each time I feel part of my body die, the power is unbearable sometimes and I don't know if I could make it." He landed on the bottom of the lake and turned around so he was on his back, "Am I still wake or am I unconscious? I can see the light on smooth surface of the lake and see how it bounces off making the water look like crystals. Crystal Lake, is was I called this place, but no one comes here anyway. The energy must have gone to my brain because I'm sure I saw her as I hit the water. Either way, if I don't have her in my life I'd feel better dead." With that he closed his eyes and sunk deeper into his watery grave.
Amazed at how much stronger she was then a few minutes ago, amazed at her speed she dove into the water completely dressed. She swam to the bottom of the lake, which was surprisingly deeper then she thought it was, and found Mystic, unconscious. She wrapped her arms around him and started swimming towards the surface. She was surprised that she could lift his body. He was lighter then she thought, as they broke the surface and she pulled him onto the shore. When she caught her breath she placed her head on his chest and heard a faint heart beat. "Oh God." She thought. She then opened his mouth and placed hers against it, she then started giving him mouth to mouth. After a few moments he started coughing. Tina sat back and allowed him to turn to his side and throw up water that had gotten into his lungs when he sighed. He then lied on his back and looked up at the sky. "You saved my life." "Yeah, I guess I did." "I'm sorry I haven't tried talking to you before this." "It's ok." "No, it's not because I have feelings for you and I shouldn't be shy I should just tell you but I've never been too good around people." "I'm listening." Mystic closed his eyes again as Tina sat near him, hugging her knees and watching him. "When I was a child I lost my parents to the environment, the harsh desert winds of Great Five killed them both as they tried to take care of me. I was two when I started my journey. It wasn't till I was 12 when I met Uno and he told be about my race, the Sayjins. But with my parents gone, my race gone, and the only other Sayjin I knew, Uno gone, he died from a disease that was on Great Five, what was I supposed to do? So after taking over the planet I started searching for something to fill this void inside of me." He opened his eyes and looked at her. "Someone to heal me." She caught his eyes and blushed. "It was love at first sight, the moment I saw you I fell in love. I'm sorry if it sounds weird but I have a question. After the tournament is said and done, would you like to go out with me? I think that's what one would do." Tina smiled and nodded. "How about we go out tomorrow? I mean after you heal up." Mystic smiled, "I'd like that."
After spending half a day in the healing tank, Mystic was at top notch. Tina arrived at the ship an hour later. Mystic was a big warrior and it looked awkward to see him driving or in a car period so they decided to just fly. Mystic carried Tina in his arms as they flew off towards the great unknown. Tina closed her eyes as they first hit the side of a large cloud but opened them after feeling the air around her. She held onto Mystic tightly, he just smiled and watched her. They flew up into the clouds and after a little bit they stopped, still in a cloud bank. Tina was a little relentless to get into a different position but finally she agreed if Mystic swore he would not let go of her. It was like they were slow dancing but on the clouds and even though her feet weren't actually touching the ground. She smiled and looked into his eyes then rested her head on his chest. He was actually happy. After their dance in the clouds Mystic carried her back to their special place, Crystal Lake and they slow danced again, this time on the waters surface. Suddenly Mystic let go of Tina and she fell into the water. She landed with a big splash. Laughing as she came out she grabbed Mystic's ankles and pulled him in as well. They were both laughing as they swam around for a bit. An hour later they were on the shore in each others arms. Tina was asleep while Mystic watched her and played with her hair. He closed his eyes then gently lowered his lips to her and kissed. To his surprise he felt the kiss back, he opened his eyes and saw Tina staring back at him, kissing him. He smiled gently and held her close. "I'm not afraid to say this anymore, I love you Tina." Said Mystic. "I love you too Mystic." He smiled and closed his eyes with her, their fingers playing with each others. Suddenly the entire lake started glowing. "Pretty." Said Tina as they sat up. Suddenly the water was shot into the air and the ground tore apart. Slowly a figure walked out of the now empty lake, a small, built, pink warrior. Mystic held Tina tightly and close…To be continued.
