Author's Notes: It seems I've been neglecting to put a disclaimer. I don't own DBZ. There. I'm safe. I'm getting happier by the minute. Each chapter I post leads me ever closer to my best story yet! ^^ Just one more chapter of "The Darkest Sapphire" and we'll make it to my sequel, "The Calm". I just thought I'd say at this point that I was advised to put these stories up here on fanfiction.net by someone at Saiyan Chronicles (www.dbzsc.com). So that's the story behind why these are here now! Enjoy the story! ^^

The campout had continued as was planned, even if their foe was theoretically destroyed. Vegeta was recovering from his confrontation with Celipa... the hard way. As a safeguard to make sure Trunks could attend the campout, Vegeta had been denied a senzu been to get better. While Vegeta vowed everlasting torment for this after he recovered, no one really took the Saiyan seriously-- which pissed off the prince to no end.
"Did you see that, Goten? I kicked her ass straight through that mountain!" Trunks said, smiling to himself over the accomplishment. Goten yawned and looked over at his friend.
"Yeah, but you didn't kill her..." Goten said, as though it were no surprise. Trunks eyes went wide.
"What?!" Trunks asked in shock. "Your kidding..." Goten shook his head.
"After you had left with Vegeta and the others for a hospital, my dad gave her a senzu bean and dropped her off somewhere a little ways south of here. By a waterfall..." Goten commented as Trunks jumped to his feet.
"She'll come after us! Why the hell did your dad do that?!" Trunks exclaimed, grabbing his sword and dashing out of the tent. Goten jumped out of his sleeping bag and followed his friend, taking to the skies after Trunks did.
"Because unlike your dad, my dad believes in mercy!" Goten yelled after Trunks.
"Shh!!! Someone might hear you!" Trunks yelled in a whisper back... and hear them Celipa did.

"This is getting very old, Samantha... why can't we just find her Saiya-jin friends and kill them now?" Nayr asked, finishing off another cup of blood from some victims. Samantha's earrings jingled in irritation and she glared at Nayr.
"For the last time, Nayr, we will let them come to us. They obviously don't notice all the slaughtering occuring, so we'll make a path of blood towards them until they HAVE to notice... got it?!" Samantha replied, her eyes glowing a bright red... the color of coals that had been fanned brighter. Nayr grimaced and threw his cup off the building.
"Well I've had it, sister. I'm going to watch our children from afar. I want to be the first to see the action rather than sipping lives from up here." Nayr scoffed and jumped off the building. Samantha shook her head and stared off into the darkness with a thoughtful look upon her pale white face.

Goten and Trunks flew over the forest until they finally saw a waterfall in a clearing below. Trunks turned to Goten and the boy nodded.
"That's the one." Goten replied and the two were about to fly down when they heard a voice.
"Looking for someone, boys?" a voice came from above them. They looked up to see Pan's bloody body sailing into them both. The two boys collided into the trees below. Trunks groaned and shoved Pan's body off of them to see Celipa standing at their feet.
"I never got to thank you for that punch earlier, son of Vegeta. Soon you'll look just like that other annoying brat who decided to piss me off. I love kids, but not when they're stupid, upstart brats." Celipa told them. Trunks stood up while Goten turned to aid his niece. Trunks glared at the Saiyan and went super.
"Just be happy you didn't kill her or Goten would be ripping you to shreds instead of me... and his bite is much worse when you piss him off." Trunks said as he drew his sword.
"Who said I didn't kill her?" Celipa laughed and punched Trunks in the stomach, knocking him clear through the trees. "You weakling half-breeds are no challenge for me now! My strength and power has increased 100 fold since you beat me!" She flew forward through the clearing until she saw a bright light. It was a ki blast! She had forgotten that her scouter was no longer there to tell her that an attack was being used! She tried to block it, but caught the full brunt of the attack and was knocked back to where she was before. She got down and launched another ki attack.
"Tunnel of Light!" she yelled as Trunks came charging through ready to swing with his sword. The ki blast engulfed Trunks and the center closed in on him. Celipa laughed, but her joy was shortlived as Trunks came through the center of the blast and sliced Celipa's suit open on the torso. Celipa winced and grabbed her side as Trunks, from the blast's impact, fell to the ground. Celipa looked over at Goten at this instant and smiled.
"So, how is your little sister doing?" Celipa asked in a mocking tone. Goten's eyes narrowed as he stood up.
"She's my NIECE and she's dead." Goten said in anger, already super. "You... you BITCH!!!" Goten screamed as the trees in a good mile radius vaporized and Trunks body was knocked away as well as Pan's. Celipa blocked the release of energy as she witnessed Goten's hair turn a icredibly bright gold and stick up even more, lightning crackling about his body. Celipa almost passed out right there. Something beyond Super Saiyan? Was it possible?
"W-What are you?" Celipa stammered, still guarding herself from the enraged half-saiyan. Goten stared at her, hatred boiling in his eyes.
"An ascended Super-Saiyan. Super Saiyan 2 you could call it." Goten said as he charged at his opponent with a fist. Celipa held out a hand to catch it, but was instead knocked backwards with the fist as Goten continued forward. Celipa moved the center of her gravity above Goten and flipped over the half-saiyan, but Goten bent his legs and caught her in the chest.
Celipa went straight into the air as Goten used instant transmission and appeared above the saiyan, bringing his arms into the air and bringing them down in a powerful attack, knocking Celipa toward the ground. Celipa managed to correct her fall and jump off the ground, firing several small ki shots at Goten. Goten simply knocked them all aside and launched a powerful attack of his own. Celipa smiled and used the same curved block she had last time and returned the fire on Goten. Goten brought both hands together and fired another ki blast that tore his previous apart. Celipa laughed, partially trying to make herself feel better and partially to annoy her opponent. Goten didn't change expressions at all.
"You think that I was trying? Try this on for size... I learned it from my dad." Goten said, bringing his hands together.
"Ka..." he began, pulling his hands back. "Me..." a ball of energy sparked in his hand. "Ha..." he said again as the ball took better form and glowed brightly. "Me....!!" he held this note as the energy in the ki ball began to rise. "HAAA!!!!" The energy spat out in an immense stream of blue light. Celipa grimaced. That technique was powerful... but not hard to mimic.
"Kami..." Celipa began, creating an energy ball of her own. "Hameya!!!" Celipa's own energy blast met Goten's. The blasts were dead even in power. Celipa smiled.
"Kamihameya Tunnel of Light!" she yelled as the blast spread out around the blast and Goten, engulfing the ascended saiyan. Celipa simply laughed as the energy went flying off into the distance.
"That wasn't very nice, miss." a voice said behind Celipa. The saiyan turned around to see a young man who had little in the way of hair... it was Uub.
"You think I care? Where are you people coming from anyway?!" Celipa asked in anger. "Why won't you all die?!"
"Not a nice way to begin introductions. I'm Uub! You are--?" Uub asked. Celipa narrowed her eyes.
"Celipa, son of Kakkarot! Tunnel of Light!" she yelled throwing out another one of her infamous ki blasts. The blast flew off into distance with the saiyan smiling with pleasure... until she noticed the young man still stood in front of her.
"That's a pretty cool technique! You'll have to show me that sometime!" Uub said with a smile. Celipa frowned and threw a punch at Uub's face. Uub simply stood in mid-air letting the punch land. Nothing happened.
"There's more trouble on this planet than you right now. We'll have to deal with you later..." Uub stated, bringing both hands into the air. "Until then, here's a move I've been practicing... it's called the Genki-dama."
"Genki-Da-- A SPIRIT BOMB?!" Celipa screamed. She seemed to know exactly what this was even though she had no real recollection of it. The saiyan flew back and turned around to see a huge ki ball flying straight at her. She powered up to her maximum and flew at the blast and tried to block it. She met it and held it... for a matter of three seconds before it finally engulfed her in it's bluish-white flames. Celipa felt the blast burning off her clothes and armor and finally her flesh and she flew backwards. Then it hit her. She remembered what had gotten her here. She recalled everything... as she collided with the ground.
