A/N: I'm so sorry it took so long to update, but I'm having a terrible lot of work in school. Plus I'm also having some personal problems that take away a lot of energy, I was busy starving myself and nearly got anorexics but fortunately my family and friends pulled me out and they are a lot of support right now. But it costs me a lot of trouble to keep eating good...
Well, that was the explanation thanks for the reviews and the understanding guys, you're all wonderful.
Children of an angel, the next story
Chapter 10: Family Reunion
Inside the same room where she left with the seer and Goku Eighteen reappeared again. Only this time the room was filled with people. Well, people, creatures was a better way of describing them. Everyone in the room stared at Eighteen curiously, angry, afraid, arrogant or what so ever.
"So, you are the court, I'm here to tell you something" Eighteen said in a deadly tone.
"Who are you?" a powerful voice came from the room.
"My name is Eighteen, or Crystal don't care how you call me" Eighteen replied.
"Are you the one who invoked the Arrow of Artemis?" someone else asked.
"Yes I am"
Immediately the court began to whisper again. Some considered Eighteen to be crazy, others thought she was dangerous and again others looked at her with admiration. But all of them where curious at the young woman that stood in front of them, looking completely fearless.
"The Arrow hasn't been invoked in centuries, how could you do it?" the same man that started questioning Eighteen asked.
"I'm not sure, I own a certain power that allows me to invoke it" Eighteen answered.
"How dare you?" the man continued. "The only ones that own that power are the Goddess or her warriors, a person like you has no right for it".
"A person like me?" Eighteen said "What do you mean by that?"
"I mean" said the man arrogantly "a person that once was busy destroying the earth, a cyborg, a weapon created by an evil scientist".
"So you DO know me, I feel so honoured" Eighteen said in a sarcastic tone. "Now listen, I was never created, I was simply changed, and if I wouldn't have any right for the Arrow, I would never be able to invoke it".
The man tried to say something back, but Eighteen cut him of. "The seer has given me back the memories that where stolen from me when I was young, and that made me realize something. I used to have a nickname in a gang, it was Artemis. And now I invoked her Arrow, that is now coincidence, I am somehow connected to the Goddess. How? I don't know, but I can use Her powers, and I have right for them".
"Why you rude little" the man began "do you have the slightest idea who you're talking to?"
"Yes, I'm talking to the once that have put my father in a place where he does not belong." Eighteen said.
The entire court looked even more interested in Eighteen then they where before.
"I am the daughter of Jonathan, the angel you put away to rot in hell. And I am here to get him out."
"Jonathan broke the law" was the answer.
"He broke the law?" Eighteen asked "By falling in love, by following his heart? I thought you fought for good? Then you should know that love isn't breaking any law. It is the most important thing in this universe. Without love this universe and you would be dead a long time ago. And you dare to call it breaking the law?"
"Silence you, we are aware that love is necessary. But only for mere mortals, for the high beings it is nothing but a distraction from our goals. Jonathan had a job to do, and by falling in love he brought himself and the court in danger, it could have terrible effects on the universe."
"Terrible effect on the universe" Eighteen said half laughing. "If he never fell in love, I would never be born and the universe would be destroyed by Shrik, THAT is a terrible effect if you ask me".
The court was silent for a while, but most of them still didn't look convinced that Eighteen was a good person and that Jonathan could leave hell. Eighteen saw it and she smirked, "I hope I can convince you with this..." she said smirking, and her eyes turned white....
"I'm worried about her" Jonathan said "She doesn't know the court, who knows what they might do to her?"
"Relax, I'm friends with Eighteen for a long time and she's very strong". Goku tried to relax the distressed angel.
"LOOK!" the seer suddenly said.
From the distance Eighteen walked towards the group, but she looked changed somehow. A pure light was surrounding her.
"Crystal? Eighteen?" Goku, the seer and Jonathan said at the same time.
"You're out dad" Eighteen said as if it was the most simple thing in the world.
"What?"
"You're out, free to go, you can go back to Other World, do I need to be more clear?" Eighteen replied.
"But how?" Jonathan asked "How did you managed to achieve this?"
"I convinced the court that they didn't want to mess with me" Eighteen said dryly.
"You threatened them?" the seer said disbelieving.
"I wouldn't call it threatening" Eighteen said "more erm...".
"Threatening" Goku said.
"You're annoying" Eighteen replied. Suddenly she stepped forward and placed her hand on her fathers cell. Immediately it started to glow and the door unlocked. Jonathans chains that kept him to the wall unlocked as well.
"You can get out now dad" Eighteen said.
Jonathan looked around disbelieving. He was free, after more then a hundred years in this terrible place he was free to go. He looked up and saw his daughter standing in front of him, the last time he saw her she was just a five year old girl. But now....
Jonathan couldn't control himself anymore and hugged her. He wrapped his arms around Eighteen as if he never wanted to let her go ever again.
"Crystal" he whispered "I missed you".
"I missed you two dad" Eighteen replied smiling.
"What do you guys say we get our buts out of here" Goku said. "In Other World we can continue the family reunion."
"Great idea Goku" Eighteen said.
"I'd love to meet your friends Crystal" Jonathan said.
Eighteen nodded, "and you can meet my family".
"Do you have a family?" Jonathan asked surprised.
Eighteen nodded again, "I'm married to one of his best friends" she said pointing at Goku.
"And how did you meet?"
"I was created to kill them"
Jonathan looked a little shocked, it wasn't obvious if it was because of the fact that his daughter had to kill somebody, or because of the fact she was 'created'.
Eighteen saw her fathers face and smiled "Long story, we'll tell you later".
The four walked trough the cells to the exit. Suddenly they stopped. Their attention went to a sad looking bundle in a corner. It was a young man, well it looked like one. His clothes where torn and filthy and his long black hair one big mess that hung before his face.
"Seventeen" Eighteen whispered.
"Is that Ricardo?" Jonathan asked.
Eighteen nodded. "I didn't know he was here".
"He was send here after Super Seventeen was destroyed, the mechanical Seventeen and this one where separated again and the mechanical was destroyed. He had to stay here for his crimes" the seer spoke.
"What did he do?" Jonathan asked. He still didn't understand a damn thing about the whole thing. Why were his children named after numbers suddenly? And why did they had to kill others? And why was his son in hell?
"But he was possessed" Eighteen said softly "Gero had him under control with that mechanical monster, I know that he would never hurt anyone".
Eighteen walked towards her brother, he had his arms wrapped around himself and was softly whispering.
"Get out, I won't let you hurt me, I won't. You're not real, just shivers of my imagination, nothing more"
"Look out Eighteen" Goku said.
Eighteen just glared at him, she continued to walk towards her brother and kneeled before him. She placed a hand on his shoulder. "Sev?"
Seventeen jumped up and looked around "Get out get out get out" he whispered.
"Seventeen it's me, Eighteen, your sister, remember"
"You're not real, you're just another person trying to fake me".
"Ricardo?" Jonathan said softly.
"Who's that?" Seventeen asked.
"That's you. You're my brother and his son". Eighteen said in a soft voice.
"I know I had a sister, but she's away. I don't have a father" Seventeen said. Suddenly he started laughing with a creepy voice. "You're all fake, you're all fake". He once again covert his face with his arms and continued to whisper "go away" a lot of times.
Eighteen took her brothers hand, he looked at her but he still didn't recognized her. Eighteen took a stone from the floor and made a cut in her own hand.
"Remember this?" she said. "My blood".
She also made a cut in her brothers hand "Your blood". Eighteen put their bloody hands together. "Our blood" she whispered.
"We're family".
Seventeen just continued to stare at the two hands. He closed his eyes, suddenly he reopened them and started at his sister.
"Eighteen?" he said.
Eighteen nodded. "It's me".
"Well, isn't this touching?" an icy voice suddenly said.
The whole crowd turned around in shock to see Cell, Dr Gero and Dr Myuu standing behind them....
A/N: Well, this was it. Again I'm sorry for the delay. I'll try to update next time sooner Ok?
Please review.
