Chapter 5: Hidden Strength

With quick movement, Goku removed the gag from Jade.

"Come to save your friend? Well, just to let you know, you're only going to save half of her, because I'm not going back!" Tiger punched Goku in the stomach, which, to his surprise, made him fly back into a wall.

"Didn't someone tell you to respect your elders?" Yamcha aimed a foot at Tiger, but she merely dodged it and sent him to wall as well.

Krillen, who was watching over Jade, was getting worried. "She even sent GOKU to a stop! Jade, is that your twin or something?!"

"No, she's me! But if you kill her, I'll be destroyed as well. I have to fight her to get her back, but what good will it do? I have no offensive magical powers." Jade sighed.

"MAGICAL POWERS?! You never told us that! And how do you know all this anyway?" Krillen asked in shock.

"Uncle told me,"

"Who's Uncle?" But she had no time to answer as a kamehameha wave came surging through the small area. Krillen took her out of the way.

Tiger dodged; just barely. "Darn it! I forgot I don't have immortality or healing powers!"

Piccolo, who had been watching this the whole time, went on the attack. He used his speed to block her from blasting Goku and Yamcha with her Dragon Blast.

"Speed, huh? Two can play at that game!" Tiger shot around Piccolo and jabbed him right in the back. Once he was paralyzed for a split moment, she smoked him with Heat Beam Eyes.

"Aaaarrrrgghhh!" Piccolo cried in pain.

"Looks like she's much stronger than she looks. There's no way a kid could send a grown man howling with a single punch." Krillen growled.

"Krillen, please, let me help! I have immortality and healing. But if I kill my other self, what will happen to me...?" She whispered the last part so Krillen couldn't hear.

"Alright, but be careful!" Krillen untied Jade.

What was she to do now? She could keep on healing Goku and the others while they score hits on Tiger to weaken her, but Uncle said that one must fight his or her other self in order to become complete.

She just stood and watched; unable to move. She saw Goku, Yamcha, Piccolo, and Krillen being beat mercilessly by the powers of the talismans. Tiger was obsessively quick; none of the fighters could see where she would strike next and couldn't land a single hit on her. What would she do? A thud interrupted her thoughts as Yamcha was slammed to the floor. Who would've thought that talisman power could be stronger than Saiyan power!?

"Say goodbye..." Tiger smirked maliciously as she charged up for a Dragon Blast.

Goku, who was slightly weakened, decided that was enough; he powered up... But to Super Saiyan level 3!

Krillen was almost out, but he had to warn Goku to not kill the dark side of Jade, or both will be lost. He stopped right in front of the Saiyan.

"Krillen, what...?"

"No, Goku... d-don't kill her... If you do, the other Jade will die too!" Krillen said after falling unconscious.

"He's right, you know. If you want to kill me, go right ahead, you won't get much out of it. But don't think I'll let you without a good fight!" Tiger fired her Dragon Blast, causing Goku to stagger a bit.

She continued on with a load full of pummels in the stomach and chest. She beat him down with heat beam eyes, flew in the air and kicked him square in the head. Blood was pouring out from the edge of Goku's mouth. He had let her off easy, but only because he didn't want to hurt Jade. His weakness only egged her on. She began to punch and kick again at rapid speed, but then she stopped.

"Hey... Why not have a little fun? Turn them all into rabbits!"

Instantly, the fierce fighters turned into fluffy bunnies. Piccolo, who was a dark brown rabbit was disgraced at his form and started jabbering angrily in Bunnynese.

Tiger was highly amused. "Sorry, but I only understand English, Japanese and Chinese. Nice try,"

Unknown to her, Jade was using the invisibility talisman's power, and evaded the change. She was torn between running away and saving her friends. If she ran away, she would be safe from this disaster, but her friends would be hurt and Tiger would still be there. If she stayed and fought, she would no doubt lose, but still be alive and her friends would not be there to help her... Unless they want to help by giving Tiger rabies.

But, getting something done is better than nothing. She connected her tiny invisible fist to Tiger's jaw, who fell back in surprise.

"What the heck was that!? Wait, 1,2,3,4... Where's the 5th rabbit?"

She only got a kick in the stomach for an answer. "Auuugh! What the...? Jade." Tiger growled and started to swing blindly around her. "Come out! I know you're using the snake talisman power! COME OUT!" She swung again, hitting no target whatsoever.

Jade could've busted out laughing; she was more than 10 feet away from her counterpart.

Tiger heard a slight snigger and followed the sound. She was leaning dangerously close to where Jade was. Jade decided to trick her, so she slowly and quietly picked up a pebble and threw it in the opposite direction, causing Tiger to advance backwards. She then started pounding against Tiger's back. But this time she was caught; Tiger spun right around and gripped her wrist, hard.

Jade winced at her strength and the invisibility effect wore off.

"So, you must be pretty brave to stand up to me like that. Too bad it has to end this way. Don't worry, I won't kill you, just torture you. I'll make sure it is very painful," Tiger clamped her hand on Jade's wrist harder and harder; Jade thought she would just pass out right there.

But she didn't give up. She stomped her foot on her counterpart's, who cried out in pain.

"S-sorry! I'm so, so sorry!" Jade said worriedly. Tiger took this as an advantage and started faking horribly.

"OW. Oh, my leg! I-I think it's broken! Jade, h-help me," she cried out almost lazily.

Even the sappiest things could fool the light part of Jade. She helped her up, dusted her off, and shined her shoes, too (A/N: O.o).

As she was down, Tiger kicked her in the hard chest wall. Jade doubled over in pain, but then she used her healing powers to help herself. She rammed into her dark side, who wasn't intending to give in.

Tiger growled, knowing this would be a never ending battle. She knew that if she harmed the good Jade, that'll do damage to herself as well. She was overly stubborn about it though, so she kept fighting. "GET OFF, YOU STUPID BRAT!"

"Not until you give up and be a good girl by becoming as one again." Jade found an alternative way of defeating Tiger. Instead of fighting with fists and feet, she began to tickle her.

"Ahaha, wha- no, stop! You-you think tickling is going to stop me?! Aheehee, Hahahahaha! F-fat ch-chance, ahahaha! No- stop, I mean it! You- you idiot! N-ahahahahahahaaaa!" Tiger was rolling on the floor now; Jade tickled her on the weak spots and they BOTH knew where they were. "Being apart of you has its advantages....." Jade thought aloud.

The bunnies just stood there and watched; half of them outraged at the fact that Jade wasn't taking this seriously.

But as this "tickle war" was going on, both Jades suddenly felt an odd, queasy feeling. Jade knew this was a great sign, whereas Tiger knew it was a sign of her worst nightmare.

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's what you get for being so naughty!" Jade made her remark drip with sweetness like honey.

"What?! This-this can't be happening! You're supposed to fight me to get me back! No! I'm not going back! NO!!!" Both Jades screamed as they fused as one.

Then everything was back to normal; well, to say the least. Four rabbits stood, waiting. Jade plopped on the floor, dazed.

"Uhhnn... I have a feeling I did something bad," She looked at the fuzzy little creatures. "Oh, it's you guys. Change them back!"

They returned to their normal selves again. "Don't you EVER do that again, you brat!" Piccolo growled.

"I didn't mean to do it, but...Hey! Who're you? Dende?"

"Yeah, I just shot 20 feet taller." Piccolo said sarcastically.

"Aaaw man! There was barely any action at all! And my good side just HAD to be a sissy and tickled my dark side instead of punching her straight!" Jade huffed.

The fighters tut- tutted, but Yamcha broke this adult act.

"So you're Jade? How old are you?" Yamcha asked, though it was pretty obvious to tell.

"Eleven. Why?"

"I'll do anything to take my word about going out with this kid." Yamcha muttered.

"This was a complete waste of my time. I could have been meditating. First I get hit by some kid, get turned into a furball, and now I have to listen to you babble." Without another word the grumpy Namek flew straight above into the air (A/N: they already caused a huge whole through the place).

"Okay, that was... Practically pointless. What now?" Jade asked.

"Now, we EAT!" Goku powered down and flew off to his house.

"Wait a sec, I didn't just see his hair go from blond to black, did I?" Jade said.

Yamcha and Krillen sighed. "That's a lot of explaining to do kid, but, you're going to tell us your story first."

They parted ways as Jade flew along with Krillen about her past. But he was just barely listening; he wondered how she could fly.

Viper: Like Jade said, "Practically pointless". This author really needs to do better, huh? Find out what happens next on The Dragon's Jewel!

Okay, I know this chapter really sucks, but I didn't really feel like writing today. Sorry it wasn't some big battle like you expected it to be. But, I will write about a part when Jade becomes the shadow queen again. I loved that episode, didn't you? Well, until next time I guess.
