Goku looked to his left and then to his right as he heard footsteps moving away from him. He could not believe that his wife had just beaten him in a spar. That had never happened before. She did have a good point though. It was a drawback to have to concentrate to go Super Saiyan. It left him vulnerable to attacks. But luckily Usagi didn't have that problem. Just by thinking about it she could summon her power out. It was a great talent and would prove to be quite useful one day.
He was glad to see that his wife was no longer anywhere around him. He didn't want her to rub his defeat in his face. Of course, she wasn't one to do something like that; yet, she also wasn't one to challenge people to fights very often.
He pushed his body up by using his hands as his feeling began to return to him. "Maybe I shouldn't have made her so angry with me. But then again, I was right. It just wasn't safe for her to be going down to the fight. Cell wouldn't have cared if she were there to fight or not. He would have killed her anyways. He wouldn't have wanted her to try and make the kids feel better. He wants them to suffer. He wants all of us to suffer." He slowly stood to his feet, stumbling over them a few times from being numb from his wife's attack on him.
~*~*~
Usagi turned her head to look at her father as she sat on the edge of Kami's lookout, still wondering if her mother was telling the truth about the fact that she loved him. Why would her mother act that way if she truly loved him? She had never seen her so angry with him before. 'Is he alright?' She hoisted herself off of the ground and brushed the dust off of her legs as she began to walk towards him. She wagged her tail cautiously behind her, as she did not know if he would lash out at her or not. She felt partly responsible since he had gotten in trouble for the way he trained her.
She slowed down her pace of approaching him once she got within ten feet of him. She wanted to keep her clear from him. He had shown her that he could attack her with ease before; it wouldn't be that hard for him to retaliate on her now. "Daddy?"
Once Goku somewhat gained his composure back he turned his head to look at the wide-eyed Saiyan. "Yes, Usagi?" He wished that she hadn't seen her mother challenge him the way she did. He wished even more so that she hadn't seen her mother beat him the way she did. He hoped that she hadn't lost any respect for him because of that.
Usagi slowed to a complete stop. "Are you ok?" She had never seen him taken down so easily. She figured that the attack that came from her mother had been pretty big and hard on him. Even she, herself, had never taken him out with such ease.
Goku firmly planted his feet to the ground so as to keep himself from toppling over. "I'm fine. Your mother didn't do too much harm to me."
Usagi was a bit skeptical about that. "Are you sure? You weren't able to move for almost ten minutes. You looked hurt to me."
'Ten minutes? That long?' "I'm fine Usagi, really. Don't worry about me." 'I had forgotten how good
Chi-Chi was.' He walked passed Usagi, not wanting any more questions from her. "Get yourself ready. Cell will be here soon."
Usagi, too, turned around. "Wait a minute." Goku stopped and turned around, sighing. "Are you mad at me?"
Goku shook his head. He couldn't understand why he would possibly be mad at her. "Of course not."
"Well, mom was yelling at you because of how you trained me. I just thought, you know, if I would have cooperated with you and gotten angry when you tried to make me mad when we first started training that you wouldn't have had to hurt me the way you did. And then mom wouldn't have hit you like she did."
'Wow, Chi-Chi was right. She IS different than Gohan. I really don't think that he would have ever blamed himself for that.' "Don't stress over it. It wasn't your fault. Chi-Chi was right. I didn't have a right train you the way I did. But that's in the past now isn't it? There's nothing that we can do about it now. You have gotten your power now. We need to look to the future. If we always looked to the past we wouldn't have very interesting lives since we wouldn't be able to make new memories. Now lets get ourselves prepared. Cell is going to be here in just a matter of minutes." He turned around and walked away without another word. He didn't want to talk any further about this situation. The truth of the matter was, was that his pride was hurt. He was glad that Vejita wasn't around to see that. He would never let him forget that. But unfortunately, every single one of his friends were to witness it. Except for Bulma. She would never let him live it down either. He just hoped that no one would tell those two. He would have to listen to it for the rest of his life if they were to find out.
Usagi was puzzled. Her father seemed to be wanting to avoid this situation. 'I think he's embarrassed.' Usagi giggled quietly to herself. She couldn't remember a time when she had ever seen him embarrassed. He always seemed to have a straight head on his shoulders. But now, he had been proven wrong and beaten up by his wife, in front of his children, which made it worse. "Hey wait for me!" She ran to catch up to her father as he walked to the group of fighters that stood in front of the room and spirit and time.
Goku didn't stop. He wanted to talk to the others and find out if they had made a plan to protect the room of spirit and time, since Cell seemed to be extra interested in it. "You guys better get out of here, Cell will be here in a couple of minutes." He said as he approached them faster and faster.
Piccolo turned his head to Goku and could barely hold in his laughter. "We're not going anywhere. This is our fight too. He wants to kill us too." He stood up and looked away, not wanting Goku to see him laughing as he didn't want to offend him in any way.
Goku had expected him to say that. He didn't mind that Piccolo was going to stay. He more wanted the girls to get out of there, along with Mamoru. "I don't care. I want Makoto, Minako, Rei, Ami, and Mamoru out of here. He is too strong for you guys." He paused and thought about what he was saying. "Come to think of it, I want Usagi out too. This is not a safe place for you six to be."
Usagi opened her mouth to protest as she stopped by her father's side. "But that's not fair! I want to fight too. I'm almost as strong as you are. I can do it. Please?" Her voice let on a hint of whining.
Goku looked down to his daughter. "I don't care what you want right now. This is serious. It's not one of those times that I'm just going to give into what you want because you whine." Usagi shut her mouth. He was beginning to sound too much like her father from the future. "I don't want you to get hurt while you're here. You already almost died today, it's not going to happen again. His power is just too high for all of you. You don't belong in this time. This is our fight now."
"With all due respect Goku, as I recall, Odango is the precise reason why this monster is here. She should be able to fight him. And if she dies, so be it. She deserves it anyways. She's the one who brought the havoc here, and should die for disrupting your peaceful lives." Mamoru smirked. He just loved to make Usagi angry and took every opportunity that he had. "Though I wouldn't mind getting out of here. Odango could be a messy kill."
Usagi casually walked over to Mamoru before anyone had a chance to say anything in reply and clenched her hand into a tight fist. "Mamoru, I'm going to be just like my mom for one moment." With that, she raised her fist and smashed it into Mamoru's cheek, forcing him to fly up into the air a ways, and then crash back down to the ground. "Maybe that will knock some sense into you. I'm only doing this out of love Mamoru. Don't think I hate you. You're still my friend. I just want you to stop making fun of me all the time." She turned around and skipped back to her father's side.
Minako pointed and laughed at Mamoru as everyone else just stood there and waited for Mamoru's retaliation. "Boy I've been wanting to do that for a long time but I've never had the guts to. Mamoru finally got what he deserved." She continued her laughing even though Mamoru had already gotten up and begun glaring at her. She knew that if Mamoru started anything more, that he would just get it from Usagi again.
Mamoru glared at Minako, as he reluctantly turned his body to Usagi. He wanted to hit Minako for laughing at him. "Usagi, you're going to pay for this." He turned his head to Usagi, who was giggling. "Shut up!" He walked to her and held out his fist in front of her face. "You had better shut up NOW!"
Usagi stopped giggling. "Who's gonna make me?" She stuck out her tongue, making Mamoru's blood boil even more.
Seeing that Mamoru was very nearly ready to take his anger into action, Goku grabbed Usagi's shoulder and pulled her aside. "Stop it you two. This is not a time to start an argument. Mamoru, don't act like Usagi. She's a lot younger than you are and will act younger than you too. Don't bring yourself down to acting like a child." He looked back to Usagi, feeling more like Chi-Chi than ever. "And you, don't argue with my decision. I'm not doing this to make you bored or unhappy with me. I don't want you to get yourself involved with this anymore than you have to. I want you six to get away from here so you don't get hurt."
"But daddy…" Usagi whined. It wasn't fair. She was nearly as strong as he was. She should have been able to stay and help win the fight. But she could tell that he was serious about wanting them to leave. It would be pointless to try and beg. She had been yelled at so many times by her real father for begging and whining that she knew it would be worthless to do so. "Fine." She turned to her friends. "I guess we have to go you guys."
Ami was ok with that. She knew that she would not be able to stand up to the power that Cell possessed. She had already been beaten up so badly that day that she was ready to give up and let someone else do it for her. "Ok. He's right anyways. We don't need to get ourselves into any more trouble with Cell than we already are."
Goku watched as Usagi and her friends walked away from the room of spirit and time. He wanted to make sure that they were actually going to leave as Usagi had a tendency to not do exactly as she was told to do. Once he saw them all take off into the air, he relaxed a bit. "That's better. I don't exactly wish for that other Goku to come back here wanting to fight me because I got his kid hurt."
"Yeah Goku. You've already gotten yourself beaten up by your wife." Krillin tried to hide his laughter.
Goku playfully glared back at his best friend. "Can it Krillin." His face turned more serious as he felt an unwelcome power arrive. "He's here."
"So nice of you to be so alert as always, Goku." Cell slowly walked towards the gang while he scanned the area to scout out all of the potential disturbances. He noted that fact that the kids from the future were gone. "Where is Usagi? I'm not finished with that brat yet." He sensed the area for her energy signature. "She's not here at all." He turned his attention to Goku. "Where the hell is she!?"
At this point, Goku was more than relieved that he had sent Usagi away. "She's not here. You'll have to fight us if you want to get to her."
"Yeah!" Krillin stayed behind Goku, as he wasn't brave enough to say that where Cell had easy access to him.
"I can find her later. I'm not in THAT much of a rush to find her. I didn't come here to get her energy anyways. I came here for a much different reason." He began walking towards the room of spirit and time.
Goku held his arms back in hopes that Cell would stop. "If you want to get into this room you're going to have to fight us for it. We aren't just going to let you walk in here. You probably have something horrible planned for it."
Cell smirked. "Goku, tell me. Didn't I already pretty much kick your ass? Or was I daydreaming again. Last I checked I had a higher power level than you. Getting past you wont be too much of a hard task. So move aside." He walked closer and frowned when no one moved out of the way. "Well? Are you going to just stand there? Or do you want me to move you by force? I don't have a problem with doing that. I think it would be fun actually. Wait, don't move. I want to have some for fun with you now. You've gotten me back into the mood." He cocked his head to the right as he felt a small power coming from behind the room of spirit and time. 'Looks as though I wont be traveling too far after this.'
~*~*~
Rei, Minako, Makoto, Ami, Usagi, and Mamoru all sat huddled against the back of the building of the room of spirit and time. They had all powered down to their lowest power, which could not be very well detected unless someone was actually trying to find them. It was a benefit to them as they could easily sneak around without being noticed.
Rei poked her head around the corner just enough to see the back of Cell's calves. "He's just standing there. I think he's talking to everyone. They're probably trying to guard the area." She pulled her head back just in case anyone decided to come out enough to where they could see her. She didn't exactly want to get caught, especially after they had been told to leave. "I have something to tell you guys. Everyone has been saying that Cell's power was nearly as strong as Usagi's, but I don't think it was. It seemed a lot stronger than that. And when he got his major power up just now, that power grew even more than everyone else thought it did. Is it just me? Is it because of all that spiritual stuff I do? Is that why I could feel it?"
"Was it an evil feeling filled with hate that seemed kind of dark?" Ami had definitely felt it. She couldn't figure out why the others never said anything about it. She figured that she had just totally been blowing things out of proportion since this had been her first experience with a real fight.
"Yeah. It was. Did you guys feel it too?" Rei wasn't getting a good feeling from this. It had been bad when she felt it since she had a valid reason to. But now that Ami felt it, things didn't look to well.
Minako looked to her friend and nodded. "Yeah, I did. From the moment we stepped out of the room of spirit and time I felt the hate coming from him. It was strange. I was even scared from it for a while. His power is way stronger than everyone else makes it out to be. Even now, it's larger than the others think it is."
"But why can we feel it and the others can't? It doesn't make sense. They should be able to detect stuff like that better than we can since they've been fighting longer than us. Their senses pick things like that up better than ours." Makoto explained while she rubbed her neck with her hands. She was pretty sure that she was going to have to go back into battle again. Knowing Usagi, all of this talking would make her want to fight more.
"Guys, I even felt it." The girls all turned their shocked faces to Mamoru. "Hey, can't I have some say in this too? Gees, you all act like I'm never nice to you."
Usagi rolled her eyes. "You aren't ever nice to us."
"Oh yeah? And what about the time I went to your birthday party after you invited me? I don't believe that I was all that mean to you that day. So shut your mouth and listen to what I have to say. It may do you some good in the future. I'm not always wrong you know." Mamoru stood to his feet. "I don't know why they don't feel that extra evil energy coming from Cell. I don't know why we are even able to feel it. I've been doing some thinking about it in the past couple of hours. You know, when I was getting my ass beat." He looked to Usagi, half expecting her to be laughing at him. He was surprised when she hadn't. "Anyways, I think us feeling this power may have to do with us being from the future."
"But that doesn't make sense at all, Mamoru. They can all feel our power just as well as they can feel Cell's. They shouldn't be able to NOT feel any of that hate power coming from Cell just because he's from the future." Usagi was beginning to get chills up her spin as her thinking increased. She was trying to figure out what the significance of that energy was and why the person from the future even sent him at all. "That power doesn't seem to do anything. Remember when me and dad were beating Cell and his clones. They weren't able to block our attacks. But we felt that they had a higher power level than us."
That point had also crossed Ami's mind. She too couldn't figure out what the power did. "Do you think this has to do with the Guardian of Time? I mean, she did seem stuck on keeping us here for a while."
That had never come into Usagi's mind. She had almost completely forgotten about the Guardian of Time since the fight started. "About that, remember when Minako and Makoto first got here? When the Dragon wouldn't let us go home because it was 'beyond his power'? Well, later, the Guardian of Time brought me to her home, I guess you could call it."
Mamoru bent down and grabbed Usagi by the front of her Gi, brining her up to his face. "You what?! You never told us!? That was what, nearly half a year ago according to the calendar of this time line!? YOU NEVER TOLD US!!? WHAT AN IDIOT!"
Makoto and Rei jumped to Mamoru and pulled him away from Usagi. Makoto brought Mamoru to her own face and slapped him. "Don't do that to Usagi. She probably had her reasons. Usagi isn't one to just not tell her friends something THAT important." She pushed him down to the ground.
Mamoru sat up with anger in his eyes. "If your stupid friend wasn't so damned powerful I would personally kick your ass right now! One of these days, when she's not around to protect you, you're all going to get it!"
Minako poked her head around the corner and gasped quietly at what she saw. "Shhh…Chi-Chi's coming this way. I think we were too loud." She quickly pulled her head back when she saw Chi-Chi looking down at her. "I think she saw me. Quickly, hide!"
The kids all scurried to their feet and started to run away, only to feel Chi-Chi raising her Ki enough to fly above them. Chi-Chi crossed her arms in disappointment. "I thought I heard something back here. Didn't Goku tell you guys to get out of here? I could have sworn I over heard him saying that when I was talking to Kami." She let herself land. "Now would one of you mind telling me why you thought it was your duty to disobey and adult's orders?"
Usagi looked to her friends, not liking they looks that they were giving her. They told her that they wanted her to talk to her since she was, after all, her mother. She gulped as she stepped in front of her friends. "Well, we think that we should be able to fight. No matter what dad says, it's our fight. Cell is here because of me. We would be fighting him in our time right now if we weren't here." 'Well, actually, daddy would have killed him right away then, but that doesn't matter.'
Chi-Chi shook her head back and fourth to let her daughter know that she was not amused with her behavior. "Do you honestly think that your father would allow you to fight such a demon as Cell? Because I really don't think he would. He seems to protect you more than you think."
Usagi knew she was in for it now. Her mother would probably go off on her. "Mom, please don't get mad. We weren't going to do anything if it got too dangerous. Honest. Look, we'll just leave now and act like none of this ever happened." She turned around and began to tiptoe away.
Chi-Chi stomped her foot onto the ground. "Stop right there young lady. I'm not finished with you yet. I may not be stronger than you, but as I proved before, strength means nothing. I CAN stop you from leaving me any time I wanted to. So you just stop moving your little feet and get over here. If you think that you will be able to leave this island without Cell detecting you, you're nuts. The first sign of you he'll come after you. No, you're all going to have to stay here for the time being."
Usagi stopped cold in her place with the feeling of defeat. 'She's right about that.' "Fine. Where are we going to go? We're already here, we might as well fight now." She smiled, knowing full well that her mother would never let her go against her father's wishes.
"Don't even think about that one. Do you know what your father would do if he saw you six out there again and trying to fight? He would yell at me for one. And for the same thing that I was pretty much just yelling at him for. And second, if it's one thing I know, it's to not go against Goku's wishes when he's in a fighting mood. I pretty much learned that today, but I showed him." Chi-Chi giggled to herself. She was actually kind of proud of herself for that too. She didn't think that she would have been able to bring him down so easily. But she didn't let her guard down, as she was taught, and she didn't give him the time to get himself together. "We're going to hide you in the main building where Kami is waiting for us. So come on and follow me."
Usagi let out a sigh of relief. She had expected her mother to go off on her. She was thankful that Cell wasn't too far away so her mother couldn't totally yell at her. She would have to wait until later. 'Man, I really wanted to fight with Cell. This isn't fair.' She began to follow her mother and friends to the main building. She paused to look at Cell just as she was coming around the corner of the room of spirit and time. 'He's a lot stronger than me but I still want to fight. I can't give up. Dad told me to always try even when I know things aren't going to work out. But, he made me leave because he knew I wouldn't be able to fight Cell. Why?'
Cell smirked as he slowly turned his head to look at Usagi as he held Krillin by the face. Though her fighting power level was quite low, her life energy was higher than before. 'Good, she's got some emotions roaring inside of her.' "Usagi, over here. I was just about to throw this guy over the edge of Kami's lookout. You should come and watch." He looked down at Krillin and laughed. He remembered him quite well. He was the person who was responsible for keeping android 18 safe. "Don't be shy girl. Bring your friends too. I want to show them how to have some REAL fun."
Usagi shook herself out of her thoughts. "Uh-oh. He saw me." She shot a look at her father, who wasn't looking too happy with her. 'Yikes.'
Goku crossed his arms as his mood slowly dropped. Now he wouldn't be able to fight to his full potential. He would have to watch to make sure that the kids were safe. "I though I told you to get out of here. Why didn't you leave?"
Usagi cringed. He was definitely reminding her of her father back home now. "Oops? Uh…I'm sorry?" She looked to her friends and mother, who were looking quite angry with her. All except for Mamoru. He was pleased with her now that he would be able to fight with Cell.
Cell directed his attention to Goku. "Go easy on her. This just releases some of the stress of her having to run when I would have had to have gone and found her and chased her down. Now she is conveniently her for me to take her energy. And besides, I'm not going to do anything to her until you are all out of the way. And after I've completed my business with the room of spirit and time. Speaking of, I need to finish up now. So just a minute." He lifted his arm up and brought it down with intense force, while releasing Krillin, causing him to fall to the ground and reaching a state unconsciousness. He had been though so much already that day that that last fall did it for him. "Humans are such weaklings." He jumped back away from the group of fighters, which stood before him. "Feast your eyes upon this, people." He opened his mouth as the skin around his neck and mouth began expanding.
Minako watched closely as a small slimy black hump began to find its way out of Cell's mouth. "Eww. That's gross." The hump got bigger and bigger as the seconds passed. The hump soon turned into some fat rod looking item with green warts all over it. The slim around it grew more abundant.
Usagi was officially grossed out as she felt like puking right there and then. "What's he doing?" She forced herself to keep looking, though the temptation to turn away was greater than her will to fight this fight. "Just stop it already."
Goku knew what was going one. He and Piccolo both knew actually. Goku had seen it before, when he was still a child. He was fighting an enemy and when he was defeated, he spit out an egg. Much like Cell was doing now. Cell had Piccolo's cells in him and was perfectly capable of performing this technique successfully. "Why are you doing that? You're already powerful as it is? You don't need an accomplice."
Cell spit the egg like item onto the ground and wiped the slime away from his lips. "That's what you think. I need someone just as powerful as I am to deal with all of you. Yet, I can't split anymore. So I shall use the room of spirit and time to let IT fully develop as it takes a year to do so."
Goku wasn't the least bit surprised by this. He knew that Cell had SOMETHING planned for the room. "And you think that we're just going to let you walk right into the room of spirit and time don't you?"
Cell shook his head. "No, I expect that you will put up a fight and I will proceed to put it in there without taking notice of your attacks. Then I will leave and come back at a later time, when it will be more fun for me to kick each and everyone of your asses one by one."
"What about your little 'child' that you just produced? Wont it kill everyone?" Goku hoped that they could destroy that egg before Cell got a chance to put it in.
"No, it will do as it's told. It will keep you people away from me while I'm beating the crap out of you." He bent down and picked up the black egg. It was still slimy and it was kind of squishy. "To think, this thing will hatch and one day be more powerful than you." He smirked as he began to walk forward.
"ATTACK!" Goku lunged out in front of Cell and attacked the egg with all of his power put into one Ki attack. He watched as Cell kept walking, as if his attack meant nothing.
Cell just raised the egg above his head to avoid the attack. "That's not going to do any good, Goku." He said as he kicked his foot back into Goku's side. "Get out of my way."
"Hey ugly! Why don't you fight us without any help. Gees, you're such a whimp. You're all stronger than us and you can't you just fight us alone? Are you that afraid of us?"
Cell dropped the egg, letting it bounce on the ground, and turned around to the voice of Mamoru. "I don't want to deal with all of these annoyances. I want to be able to enjoy beating you all up. I'm not a whimp."
Mamoru snorted. "Says you."
Cell frowned. "Why don't you just keep running your mouth kid. I might hold a bigger grudge against you and be harder on you when it comes time for your beating."
"When it comes time? Why don't you show us what you've got now? Or do you have to retreat because you need a refill of steroids so you can keep LOOKING pumped."
Cell had just about had it with that one. "You dare to insult me? You're going to get it now." He jumped over Usagi and the girls to Mamoru. "You're going to wish that you never talked to me that way." He grabbed him by the throat. "Say your prayers boy because you wont be living for too much longer."
Piccolo jumped just behind Cell. He wasn't about to let his son be killed without a fight. "Get your hands off of him, CELL!" Soon, he was joined by all of his friends, except for Usagi and the others. They were pre-occupied with the egg.
Usagi took her chance to run to the egg that sat just outside the room of spirit and time. She sat down to the ground and lay her herself down, stomach first, and examined it closely as she looked for anything indication that it may be hatching soon. She hoped that it wouldn't. She didn't want any little version of Cell running around to attack her. Who knows how much power it would have contained. "This is really gross." She poked it with her finger only to pull it back with a blob of cold slim covering it. "Yuck."
She sat up when she heard the pounding of her friends' footsteps behind her. "You guys, we need to destroy this before it hatches." She stood up and pointed her hand in its direction. The others stood by her and did the same. "Ready? On thee, One…Two…THREE!"
The five girls each shot an energy beam at the black sticky egg. The light that it was emitting intensified as they upped their power. But the egg had no reaction to the energy that was being thrown upon it. The power just seemed to be sucked into it as if it were nothing.
Makoto was the first to stop. "Guys, this is useless. We aren't going to be able to explode this thing."
Minako pulled back and discontinued her energy flow. "You're right. Doesn't it seem to be a little bigger now than it did just a second ago?"
"Yeah, it looks like it bulged out." Usagi sat back to the ground and poked at it again with her index fingers. The black goo was now hot from their energy attacks. She pressed her finger into it. "This thing feels like rubber." She said as the protective layer pushed in a bit. "It's mushy." She put her right hand fully onto it and pressed in, immediately pulling it back out to reveal a hand print in it. "Eww. Look at that, it's like one of those stress balls." She wiped her hand on the white ground. "That's just nasty."
"Well, what should we do with it?" Minako asked as picked it up. "I wonder how well it bounces." She dropped it to the ground. The egg bounced forward towards the room of spirit and time. Each time it bounce off of the ground, it gained altitude. "Uh-oh. Catch it you guys!"
The girls ran after the ball as it gained height and speed. "Wait up you stupid egg!" Usagi yelled as she ran faster. She didn't know whether she should jump for it or not. She didn't know how high it would go into the air. "Quick! Before it goes into the room!"
Makoto slipped on some of the goo that was left behind from the egg and fell. "Why did they leave the door open?!" She quickly jumped back to her feet and proceeded to chase the item along with her friends.
Rei decided that if they were ever going to catch it before it made its way in, that they were going to have to take action. Which is precisely what she did. She leaped for it while reaching out. She was in luck. She was close enough to wrap her hands around it. "Got it!"
Makoto sped up as she wanted to help Rei with containing the item. "It's slippery. Make sure it doesn't get away!"
"Too late." Rei watched as the egg bounced its way into the room in which they were trying to prevent it from going in. "It slipped right after I caught it." She turned to her friends. "I'm getting a bad feeling about this."
Minako stopped running. "Oh no. I'm sorry you guys. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have tried to bounce it."
"You act like there's no way to reverse this. Come on. All we have to do is go in there and get it out really quick." Usagi didn't waste anytime. She darted into that room and immediately started looking for it. He friends were soon to follow. She would need all the help that she could get.
(Well there's another part out. What did you think? Good or bad? Well, gotta go. Ja~)
He was glad to see that his wife was no longer anywhere around him. He didn't want her to rub his defeat in his face. Of course, she wasn't one to do something like that; yet, she also wasn't one to challenge people to fights very often.
He pushed his body up by using his hands as his feeling began to return to him. "Maybe I shouldn't have made her so angry with me. But then again, I was right. It just wasn't safe for her to be going down to the fight. Cell wouldn't have cared if she were there to fight or not. He would have killed her anyways. He wouldn't have wanted her to try and make the kids feel better. He wants them to suffer. He wants all of us to suffer." He slowly stood to his feet, stumbling over them a few times from being numb from his wife's attack on him.
~*~*~
Usagi turned her head to look at her father as she sat on the edge of Kami's lookout, still wondering if her mother was telling the truth about the fact that she loved him. Why would her mother act that way if she truly loved him? She had never seen her so angry with him before. 'Is he alright?' She hoisted herself off of the ground and brushed the dust off of her legs as she began to walk towards him. She wagged her tail cautiously behind her, as she did not know if he would lash out at her or not. She felt partly responsible since he had gotten in trouble for the way he trained her.
She slowed down her pace of approaching him once she got within ten feet of him. She wanted to keep her clear from him. He had shown her that he could attack her with ease before; it wouldn't be that hard for him to retaliate on her now. "Daddy?"
Once Goku somewhat gained his composure back he turned his head to look at the wide-eyed Saiyan. "Yes, Usagi?" He wished that she hadn't seen her mother challenge him the way she did. He wished even more so that she hadn't seen her mother beat him the way she did. He hoped that she hadn't lost any respect for him because of that.
Usagi slowed to a complete stop. "Are you ok?" She had never seen him taken down so easily. She figured that the attack that came from her mother had been pretty big and hard on him. Even she, herself, had never taken him out with such ease.
Goku firmly planted his feet to the ground so as to keep himself from toppling over. "I'm fine. Your mother didn't do too much harm to me."
Usagi was a bit skeptical about that. "Are you sure? You weren't able to move for almost ten minutes. You looked hurt to me."
'Ten minutes? That long?' "I'm fine Usagi, really. Don't worry about me." 'I had forgotten how good
Chi-Chi was.' He walked passed Usagi, not wanting any more questions from her. "Get yourself ready. Cell will be here soon."
Usagi, too, turned around. "Wait a minute." Goku stopped and turned around, sighing. "Are you mad at me?"
Goku shook his head. He couldn't understand why he would possibly be mad at her. "Of course not."
"Well, mom was yelling at you because of how you trained me. I just thought, you know, if I would have cooperated with you and gotten angry when you tried to make me mad when we first started training that you wouldn't have had to hurt me the way you did. And then mom wouldn't have hit you like she did."
'Wow, Chi-Chi was right. She IS different than Gohan. I really don't think that he would have ever blamed himself for that.' "Don't stress over it. It wasn't your fault. Chi-Chi was right. I didn't have a right train you the way I did. But that's in the past now isn't it? There's nothing that we can do about it now. You have gotten your power now. We need to look to the future. If we always looked to the past we wouldn't have very interesting lives since we wouldn't be able to make new memories. Now lets get ourselves prepared. Cell is going to be here in just a matter of minutes." He turned around and walked away without another word. He didn't want to talk any further about this situation. The truth of the matter was, was that his pride was hurt. He was glad that Vejita wasn't around to see that. He would never let him forget that. But unfortunately, every single one of his friends were to witness it. Except for Bulma. She would never let him live it down either. He just hoped that no one would tell those two. He would have to listen to it for the rest of his life if they were to find out.
Usagi was puzzled. Her father seemed to be wanting to avoid this situation. 'I think he's embarrassed.' Usagi giggled quietly to herself. She couldn't remember a time when she had ever seen him embarrassed. He always seemed to have a straight head on his shoulders. But now, he had been proven wrong and beaten up by his wife, in front of his children, which made it worse. "Hey wait for me!" She ran to catch up to her father as he walked to the group of fighters that stood in front of the room and spirit and time.
Goku didn't stop. He wanted to talk to the others and find out if they had made a plan to protect the room of spirit and time, since Cell seemed to be extra interested in it. "You guys better get out of here, Cell will be here in a couple of minutes." He said as he approached them faster and faster.
Piccolo turned his head to Goku and could barely hold in his laughter. "We're not going anywhere. This is our fight too. He wants to kill us too." He stood up and looked away, not wanting Goku to see him laughing as he didn't want to offend him in any way.
Goku had expected him to say that. He didn't mind that Piccolo was going to stay. He more wanted the girls to get out of there, along with Mamoru. "I don't care. I want Makoto, Minako, Rei, Ami, and Mamoru out of here. He is too strong for you guys." He paused and thought about what he was saying. "Come to think of it, I want Usagi out too. This is not a safe place for you six to be."
Usagi opened her mouth to protest as she stopped by her father's side. "But that's not fair! I want to fight too. I'm almost as strong as you are. I can do it. Please?" Her voice let on a hint of whining.
Goku looked down to his daughter. "I don't care what you want right now. This is serious. It's not one of those times that I'm just going to give into what you want because you whine." Usagi shut her mouth. He was beginning to sound too much like her father from the future. "I don't want you to get hurt while you're here. You already almost died today, it's not going to happen again. His power is just too high for all of you. You don't belong in this time. This is our fight now."
"With all due respect Goku, as I recall, Odango is the precise reason why this monster is here. She should be able to fight him. And if she dies, so be it. She deserves it anyways. She's the one who brought the havoc here, and should die for disrupting your peaceful lives." Mamoru smirked. He just loved to make Usagi angry and took every opportunity that he had. "Though I wouldn't mind getting out of here. Odango could be a messy kill."
Usagi casually walked over to Mamoru before anyone had a chance to say anything in reply and clenched her hand into a tight fist. "Mamoru, I'm going to be just like my mom for one moment." With that, she raised her fist and smashed it into Mamoru's cheek, forcing him to fly up into the air a ways, and then crash back down to the ground. "Maybe that will knock some sense into you. I'm only doing this out of love Mamoru. Don't think I hate you. You're still my friend. I just want you to stop making fun of me all the time." She turned around and skipped back to her father's side.
Minako pointed and laughed at Mamoru as everyone else just stood there and waited for Mamoru's retaliation. "Boy I've been wanting to do that for a long time but I've never had the guts to. Mamoru finally got what he deserved." She continued her laughing even though Mamoru had already gotten up and begun glaring at her. She knew that if Mamoru started anything more, that he would just get it from Usagi again.
Mamoru glared at Minako, as he reluctantly turned his body to Usagi. He wanted to hit Minako for laughing at him. "Usagi, you're going to pay for this." He turned his head to Usagi, who was giggling. "Shut up!" He walked to her and held out his fist in front of her face. "You had better shut up NOW!"
Usagi stopped giggling. "Who's gonna make me?" She stuck out her tongue, making Mamoru's blood boil even more.
Seeing that Mamoru was very nearly ready to take his anger into action, Goku grabbed Usagi's shoulder and pulled her aside. "Stop it you two. This is not a time to start an argument. Mamoru, don't act like Usagi. She's a lot younger than you are and will act younger than you too. Don't bring yourself down to acting like a child." He looked back to Usagi, feeling more like Chi-Chi than ever. "And you, don't argue with my decision. I'm not doing this to make you bored or unhappy with me. I don't want you to get yourself involved with this anymore than you have to. I want you six to get away from here so you don't get hurt."
"But daddy…" Usagi whined. It wasn't fair. She was nearly as strong as he was. She should have been able to stay and help win the fight. But she could tell that he was serious about wanting them to leave. It would be pointless to try and beg. She had been yelled at so many times by her real father for begging and whining that she knew it would be worthless to do so. "Fine." She turned to her friends. "I guess we have to go you guys."
Ami was ok with that. She knew that she would not be able to stand up to the power that Cell possessed. She had already been beaten up so badly that day that she was ready to give up and let someone else do it for her. "Ok. He's right anyways. We don't need to get ourselves into any more trouble with Cell than we already are."
Goku watched as Usagi and her friends walked away from the room of spirit and time. He wanted to make sure that they were actually going to leave as Usagi had a tendency to not do exactly as she was told to do. Once he saw them all take off into the air, he relaxed a bit. "That's better. I don't exactly wish for that other Goku to come back here wanting to fight me because I got his kid hurt."
"Yeah Goku. You've already gotten yourself beaten up by your wife." Krillin tried to hide his laughter.
Goku playfully glared back at his best friend. "Can it Krillin." His face turned more serious as he felt an unwelcome power arrive. "He's here."
"So nice of you to be so alert as always, Goku." Cell slowly walked towards the gang while he scanned the area to scout out all of the potential disturbances. He noted that fact that the kids from the future were gone. "Where is Usagi? I'm not finished with that brat yet." He sensed the area for her energy signature. "She's not here at all." He turned his attention to Goku. "Where the hell is she!?"
At this point, Goku was more than relieved that he had sent Usagi away. "She's not here. You'll have to fight us if you want to get to her."
"Yeah!" Krillin stayed behind Goku, as he wasn't brave enough to say that where Cell had easy access to him.
"I can find her later. I'm not in THAT much of a rush to find her. I didn't come here to get her energy anyways. I came here for a much different reason." He began walking towards the room of spirit and time.
Goku held his arms back in hopes that Cell would stop. "If you want to get into this room you're going to have to fight us for it. We aren't just going to let you walk in here. You probably have something horrible planned for it."
Cell smirked. "Goku, tell me. Didn't I already pretty much kick your ass? Or was I daydreaming again. Last I checked I had a higher power level than you. Getting past you wont be too much of a hard task. So move aside." He walked closer and frowned when no one moved out of the way. "Well? Are you going to just stand there? Or do you want me to move you by force? I don't have a problem with doing that. I think it would be fun actually. Wait, don't move. I want to have some for fun with you now. You've gotten me back into the mood." He cocked his head to the right as he felt a small power coming from behind the room of spirit and time. 'Looks as though I wont be traveling too far after this.'
~*~*~
Rei, Minako, Makoto, Ami, Usagi, and Mamoru all sat huddled against the back of the building of the room of spirit and time. They had all powered down to their lowest power, which could not be very well detected unless someone was actually trying to find them. It was a benefit to them as they could easily sneak around without being noticed.
Rei poked her head around the corner just enough to see the back of Cell's calves. "He's just standing there. I think he's talking to everyone. They're probably trying to guard the area." She pulled her head back just in case anyone decided to come out enough to where they could see her. She didn't exactly want to get caught, especially after they had been told to leave. "I have something to tell you guys. Everyone has been saying that Cell's power was nearly as strong as Usagi's, but I don't think it was. It seemed a lot stronger than that. And when he got his major power up just now, that power grew even more than everyone else thought it did. Is it just me? Is it because of all that spiritual stuff I do? Is that why I could feel it?"
"Was it an evil feeling filled with hate that seemed kind of dark?" Ami had definitely felt it. She couldn't figure out why the others never said anything about it. She figured that she had just totally been blowing things out of proportion since this had been her first experience with a real fight.
"Yeah. It was. Did you guys feel it too?" Rei wasn't getting a good feeling from this. It had been bad when she felt it since she had a valid reason to. But now that Ami felt it, things didn't look to well.
Minako looked to her friend and nodded. "Yeah, I did. From the moment we stepped out of the room of spirit and time I felt the hate coming from him. It was strange. I was even scared from it for a while. His power is way stronger than everyone else makes it out to be. Even now, it's larger than the others think it is."
"But why can we feel it and the others can't? It doesn't make sense. They should be able to detect stuff like that better than we can since they've been fighting longer than us. Their senses pick things like that up better than ours." Makoto explained while she rubbed her neck with her hands. She was pretty sure that she was going to have to go back into battle again. Knowing Usagi, all of this talking would make her want to fight more.
"Guys, I even felt it." The girls all turned their shocked faces to Mamoru. "Hey, can't I have some say in this too? Gees, you all act like I'm never nice to you."
Usagi rolled her eyes. "You aren't ever nice to us."
"Oh yeah? And what about the time I went to your birthday party after you invited me? I don't believe that I was all that mean to you that day. So shut your mouth and listen to what I have to say. It may do you some good in the future. I'm not always wrong you know." Mamoru stood to his feet. "I don't know why they don't feel that extra evil energy coming from Cell. I don't know why we are even able to feel it. I've been doing some thinking about it in the past couple of hours. You know, when I was getting my ass beat." He looked to Usagi, half expecting her to be laughing at him. He was surprised when she hadn't. "Anyways, I think us feeling this power may have to do with us being from the future."
"But that doesn't make sense at all, Mamoru. They can all feel our power just as well as they can feel Cell's. They shouldn't be able to NOT feel any of that hate power coming from Cell just because he's from the future." Usagi was beginning to get chills up her spin as her thinking increased. She was trying to figure out what the significance of that energy was and why the person from the future even sent him at all. "That power doesn't seem to do anything. Remember when me and dad were beating Cell and his clones. They weren't able to block our attacks. But we felt that they had a higher power level than us."
That point had also crossed Ami's mind. She too couldn't figure out what the power did. "Do you think this has to do with the Guardian of Time? I mean, she did seem stuck on keeping us here for a while."
That had never come into Usagi's mind. She had almost completely forgotten about the Guardian of Time since the fight started. "About that, remember when Minako and Makoto first got here? When the Dragon wouldn't let us go home because it was 'beyond his power'? Well, later, the Guardian of Time brought me to her home, I guess you could call it."
Mamoru bent down and grabbed Usagi by the front of her Gi, brining her up to his face. "You what?! You never told us!? That was what, nearly half a year ago according to the calendar of this time line!? YOU NEVER TOLD US!!? WHAT AN IDIOT!"
Makoto and Rei jumped to Mamoru and pulled him away from Usagi. Makoto brought Mamoru to her own face and slapped him. "Don't do that to Usagi. She probably had her reasons. Usagi isn't one to just not tell her friends something THAT important." She pushed him down to the ground.
Mamoru sat up with anger in his eyes. "If your stupid friend wasn't so damned powerful I would personally kick your ass right now! One of these days, when she's not around to protect you, you're all going to get it!"
Minako poked her head around the corner and gasped quietly at what she saw. "Shhh…Chi-Chi's coming this way. I think we were too loud." She quickly pulled her head back when she saw Chi-Chi looking down at her. "I think she saw me. Quickly, hide!"
The kids all scurried to their feet and started to run away, only to feel Chi-Chi raising her Ki enough to fly above them. Chi-Chi crossed her arms in disappointment. "I thought I heard something back here. Didn't Goku tell you guys to get out of here? I could have sworn I over heard him saying that when I was talking to Kami." She let herself land. "Now would one of you mind telling me why you thought it was your duty to disobey and adult's orders?"
Usagi looked to her friends, not liking they looks that they were giving her. They told her that they wanted her to talk to her since she was, after all, her mother. She gulped as she stepped in front of her friends. "Well, we think that we should be able to fight. No matter what dad says, it's our fight. Cell is here because of me. We would be fighting him in our time right now if we weren't here." 'Well, actually, daddy would have killed him right away then, but that doesn't matter.'
Chi-Chi shook her head back and fourth to let her daughter know that she was not amused with her behavior. "Do you honestly think that your father would allow you to fight such a demon as Cell? Because I really don't think he would. He seems to protect you more than you think."
Usagi knew she was in for it now. Her mother would probably go off on her. "Mom, please don't get mad. We weren't going to do anything if it got too dangerous. Honest. Look, we'll just leave now and act like none of this ever happened." She turned around and began to tiptoe away.
Chi-Chi stomped her foot onto the ground. "Stop right there young lady. I'm not finished with you yet. I may not be stronger than you, but as I proved before, strength means nothing. I CAN stop you from leaving me any time I wanted to. So you just stop moving your little feet and get over here. If you think that you will be able to leave this island without Cell detecting you, you're nuts. The first sign of you he'll come after you. No, you're all going to have to stay here for the time being."
Usagi stopped cold in her place with the feeling of defeat. 'She's right about that.' "Fine. Where are we going to go? We're already here, we might as well fight now." She smiled, knowing full well that her mother would never let her go against her father's wishes.
"Don't even think about that one. Do you know what your father would do if he saw you six out there again and trying to fight? He would yell at me for one. And for the same thing that I was pretty much just yelling at him for. And second, if it's one thing I know, it's to not go against Goku's wishes when he's in a fighting mood. I pretty much learned that today, but I showed him." Chi-Chi giggled to herself. She was actually kind of proud of herself for that too. She didn't think that she would have been able to bring him down so easily. But she didn't let her guard down, as she was taught, and she didn't give him the time to get himself together. "We're going to hide you in the main building where Kami is waiting for us. So come on and follow me."
Usagi let out a sigh of relief. She had expected her mother to go off on her. She was thankful that Cell wasn't too far away so her mother couldn't totally yell at her. She would have to wait until later. 'Man, I really wanted to fight with Cell. This isn't fair.' She began to follow her mother and friends to the main building. She paused to look at Cell just as she was coming around the corner of the room of spirit and time. 'He's a lot stronger than me but I still want to fight. I can't give up. Dad told me to always try even when I know things aren't going to work out. But, he made me leave because he knew I wouldn't be able to fight Cell. Why?'
Cell smirked as he slowly turned his head to look at Usagi as he held Krillin by the face. Though her fighting power level was quite low, her life energy was higher than before. 'Good, she's got some emotions roaring inside of her.' "Usagi, over here. I was just about to throw this guy over the edge of Kami's lookout. You should come and watch." He looked down at Krillin and laughed. He remembered him quite well. He was the person who was responsible for keeping android 18 safe. "Don't be shy girl. Bring your friends too. I want to show them how to have some REAL fun."
Usagi shook herself out of her thoughts. "Uh-oh. He saw me." She shot a look at her father, who wasn't looking too happy with her. 'Yikes.'
Goku crossed his arms as his mood slowly dropped. Now he wouldn't be able to fight to his full potential. He would have to watch to make sure that the kids were safe. "I though I told you to get out of here. Why didn't you leave?"
Usagi cringed. He was definitely reminding her of her father back home now. "Oops? Uh…I'm sorry?" She looked to her friends and mother, who were looking quite angry with her. All except for Mamoru. He was pleased with her now that he would be able to fight with Cell.
Cell directed his attention to Goku. "Go easy on her. This just releases some of the stress of her having to run when I would have had to have gone and found her and chased her down. Now she is conveniently her for me to take her energy. And besides, I'm not going to do anything to her until you are all out of the way. And after I've completed my business with the room of spirit and time. Speaking of, I need to finish up now. So just a minute." He lifted his arm up and brought it down with intense force, while releasing Krillin, causing him to fall to the ground and reaching a state unconsciousness. He had been though so much already that day that that last fall did it for him. "Humans are such weaklings." He jumped back away from the group of fighters, which stood before him. "Feast your eyes upon this, people." He opened his mouth as the skin around his neck and mouth began expanding.
Minako watched closely as a small slimy black hump began to find its way out of Cell's mouth. "Eww. That's gross." The hump got bigger and bigger as the seconds passed. The hump soon turned into some fat rod looking item with green warts all over it. The slim around it grew more abundant.
Usagi was officially grossed out as she felt like puking right there and then. "What's he doing?" She forced herself to keep looking, though the temptation to turn away was greater than her will to fight this fight. "Just stop it already."
Goku knew what was going one. He and Piccolo both knew actually. Goku had seen it before, when he was still a child. He was fighting an enemy and when he was defeated, he spit out an egg. Much like Cell was doing now. Cell had Piccolo's cells in him and was perfectly capable of performing this technique successfully. "Why are you doing that? You're already powerful as it is? You don't need an accomplice."
Cell spit the egg like item onto the ground and wiped the slime away from his lips. "That's what you think. I need someone just as powerful as I am to deal with all of you. Yet, I can't split anymore. So I shall use the room of spirit and time to let IT fully develop as it takes a year to do so."
Goku wasn't the least bit surprised by this. He knew that Cell had SOMETHING planned for the room. "And you think that we're just going to let you walk right into the room of spirit and time don't you?"
Cell shook his head. "No, I expect that you will put up a fight and I will proceed to put it in there without taking notice of your attacks. Then I will leave and come back at a later time, when it will be more fun for me to kick each and everyone of your asses one by one."
"What about your little 'child' that you just produced? Wont it kill everyone?" Goku hoped that they could destroy that egg before Cell got a chance to put it in.
"No, it will do as it's told. It will keep you people away from me while I'm beating the crap out of you." He bent down and picked up the black egg. It was still slimy and it was kind of squishy. "To think, this thing will hatch and one day be more powerful than you." He smirked as he began to walk forward.
"ATTACK!" Goku lunged out in front of Cell and attacked the egg with all of his power put into one Ki attack. He watched as Cell kept walking, as if his attack meant nothing.
Cell just raised the egg above his head to avoid the attack. "That's not going to do any good, Goku." He said as he kicked his foot back into Goku's side. "Get out of my way."
"Hey ugly! Why don't you fight us without any help. Gees, you're such a whimp. You're all stronger than us and you can't you just fight us alone? Are you that afraid of us?"
Cell dropped the egg, letting it bounce on the ground, and turned around to the voice of Mamoru. "I don't want to deal with all of these annoyances. I want to be able to enjoy beating you all up. I'm not a whimp."
Mamoru snorted. "Says you."
Cell frowned. "Why don't you just keep running your mouth kid. I might hold a bigger grudge against you and be harder on you when it comes time for your beating."
"When it comes time? Why don't you show us what you've got now? Or do you have to retreat because you need a refill of steroids so you can keep LOOKING pumped."
Cell had just about had it with that one. "You dare to insult me? You're going to get it now." He jumped over Usagi and the girls to Mamoru. "You're going to wish that you never talked to me that way." He grabbed him by the throat. "Say your prayers boy because you wont be living for too much longer."
Piccolo jumped just behind Cell. He wasn't about to let his son be killed without a fight. "Get your hands off of him, CELL!" Soon, he was joined by all of his friends, except for Usagi and the others. They were pre-occupied with the egg.
Usagi took her chance to run to the egg that sat just outside the room of spirit and time. She sat down to the ground and lay her herself down, stomach first, and examined it closely as she looked for anything indication that it may be hatching soon. She hoped that it wouldn't. She didn't want any little version of Cell running around to attack her. Who knows how much power it would have contained. "This is really gross." She poked it with her finger only to pull it back with a blob of cold slim covering it. "Yuck."
She sat up when she heard the pounding of her friends' footsteps behind her. "You guys, we need to destroy this before it hatches." She stood up and pointed her hand in its direction. The others stood by her and did the same. "Ready? On thee, One…Two…THREE!"
The five girls each shot an energy beam at the black sticky egg. The light that it was emitting intensified as they upped their power. But the egg had no reaction to the energy that was being thrown upon it. The power just seemed to be sucked into it as if it were nothing.
Makoto was the first to stop. "Guys, this is useless. We aren't going to be able to explode this thing."
Minako pulled back and discontinued her energy flow. "You're right. Doesn't it seem to be a little bigger now than it did just a second ago?"
"Yeah, it looks like it bulged out." Usagi sat back to the ground and poked at it again with her index fingers. The black goo was now hot from their energy attacks. She pressed her finger into it. "This thing feels like rubber." She said as the protective layer pushed in a bit. "It's mushy." She put her right hand fully onto it and pressed in, immediately pulling it back out to reveal a hand print in it. "Eww. Look at that, it's like one of those stress balls." She wiped her hand on the white ground. "That's just nasty."
"Well, what should we do with it?" Minako asked as picked it up. "I wonder how well it bounces." She dropped it to the ground. The egg bounced forward towards the room of spirit and time. Each time it bounce off of the ground, it gained altitude. "Uh-oh. Catch it you guys!"
The girls ran after the ball as it gained height and speed. "Wait up you stupid egg!" Usagi yelled as she ran faster. She didn't know whether she should jump for it or not. She didn't know how high it would go into the air. "Quick! Before it goes into the room!"
Makoto slipped on some of the goo that was left behind from the egg and fell. "Why did they leave the door open?!" She quickly jumped back to her feet and proceeded to chase the item along with her friends.
Rei decided that if they were ever going to catch it before it made its way in, that they were going to have to take action. Which is precisely what she did. She leaped for it while reaching out. She was in luck. She was close enough to wrap her hands around it. "Got it!"
Makoto sped up as she wanted to help Rei with containing the item. "It's slippery. Make sure it doesn't get away!"
"Too late." Rei watched as the egg bounced its way into the room in which they were trying to prevent it from going in. "It slipped right after I caught it." She turned to her friends. "I'm getting a bad feeling about this."
Minako stopped running. "Oh no. I'm sorry you guys. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have tried to bounce it."
"You act like there's no way to reverse this. Come on. All we have to do is go in there and get it out really quick." Usagi didn't waste anytime. She darted into that room and immediately started looking for it. He friends were soon to follow. She would need all the help that she could get.
(Well there's another part out. What did you think? Good or bad? Well, gotta go. Ja~)
