Oookay! I'm back for chapter 3! Finally, right? Well, anyway, like I
said before, this time Alex will end up somewhere in the DBZ timeline,
where? Read on and find out!
Oh, and just to clear it up, I already have ideas for the next few chapters, but suggestions are welcome, and encouraged! It would be best if you left suggestions in signed reviews so that I can e-mail you for... details if needed (I know a lot, but not everything!).
Alex: Hey, I'm already done with it! But I do wish I could do it again!
Vegeta: Where did that little brat go!?!?!?
Alex Ultra: Which 'little brat'?
Alex: And why do you want to find them?
Vegeta: The little green one! And it's because of... THIS!!! [Vegeta points to his very red hair]
Alex: Oh.
Buttercup: Oh! Shoot!
Vegeta: You little BRAT!! I'm going to KILL you!!!
Buttercup: Aaaahhh!! [Zooms away]
Bubbles: Heeheehee! Run, Buttercup! Run!
Alex Ultra: How did you people get in my house!?!?!
Blossom: Through the window.
Alex Ultra: WHAT!?!? [Looks at broken window] Alex?
Alex: What?
Alex Ultra: Sick 'em for me, would ya'?
Alex: I thought you'd never ask! [Zooms off to kick their butts]
Alex Ultra: Ahh, much better...
Oh, and before I forget, I would like to thank Nicole Dyria again for reminding me that King Kai's bug's name is Gregory. Thanks Nicole! Have a cookie! I insist!
Well, anyway, on with the next chapter!
~~~~~~*** PREPARATIONS ***~~~~~~
[Nifty sound effects] The Cold Warp Gate opened about five feet off the ground this time, but it was the ground of the Watch Tower.
On the tower Alex found only three people, Kami, Piccolo, and Mr. Popo.
"Well look at that! It's even more impressive in person!" There were now only two other people on the tower, Piccolo and Popo.
And Piccolo had noticed her. "Who are you and how did you get here?" He seemed rather violent and a bit annoyed.
Alex put her hands up to show she didn't want to fight him; she was smiling and laughing stupidly, hoping the green Namek wouldn't mistake her for an enemy. "Hey! I come in peace! My name is Alex and I just now landed here!"
Mr. Popo drug himself out of his tears to address the newcomer. "Oh? But I didn't see you flying up here before!"
"Oh! Well, that's because I warped here! Quite by accident, I assure you! But, hey Piccolo?"
"HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME?!?!"
"Oh, well that's a long story. It might be best to save that one for later, but for now how about if I come along to help you fight Cell?"
"How do you know about Cell?"
"Look, there are a lot of things I know about that haven't even happened yet, but that's not the point here! Right now I want to fight Cell!" Alex was in Piccolo's face now, and hiding most of her power to make it appear that Piccolo was stronger than her, in order to keep from intimidating him. Can he be intimidated? Well, I guess you never know.
But if some human wanted to throw their life away fighting a monster like Cell, Piccolo could care less. He only grunted and turned away to fly to where he could sense Cell's presence. "You can come if you can keep up." And he flew off at top speed.
Alex didn't even flinch at the challenge to her power. In an instant she was off, and gained on Piccolo in practically no time at all. "Hey Piccolo! So when does the race start? Or do we have to say '3... 2... 1... go!'?"
Piccolo stared at her strangely and decided to just let it go. "Never mind, forget it."
"Oh, well you don't mind if I stretch my energy a bit, do you?"
Piccolo's only thought was 'WHAT???' Out of sheer shock, Piccolo could only just barely breathe while watching Alex do loop-de-loops in mid-air, while still keeping up with his maximum speed! 'Is she an Android? No, Trunks said that their eyes were cold, heartless. So what is she? A Saiyan?' Piccolo figured that was the most likely explanation, except... even the Saiyans he knew weren't HALF this strong! Even HE was more powerful than those SUPER Saiyans! 'Well, she appears to be on our side, so I won't worry about it, for now.' And he went back to concentrating on the task at hand.
'Cell.' Piccolo spotted the ruined city Cell was still terrorizing. "Look, whoever you are. Leave this to me, okay? This is my fight and I don't want interruptions, so just stay out of it."
"Agreed, green-man, I'll stay out of it. It's your fight, you can have it. But if you want my help or anything, just call for me."
Piccolo only grunted and left her in the air as he went down to meet the monster known as Cell.
(A/N: Do I really need to play this part out? If you don't know basically Piccolo beats Cell down and just as he's about to put him out, Cell does a Solar Flare and escapes.)
"Aaaah!!! I can't see!! Where did he go?"
"Sorry, Can't tell you."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I saw where he went, but this is your fight! So, I can't tell you!"
Piccolo growled in disgust, but went on searching for Cell's energy. "[Grrr] He's masking his energy. It will take forever to find him!"
~~ Elsewhere ~~
Goku had just awakened and flown off to find Vegeta.
"Leave me be Kakkarot! This is my problem, and I don't need a third-class Saiyan telling me how to fight, or that I need teamwork!"
"But Vegeta! I know where you can get the training you need to become more powerful!"
Vegeta's scowl turned to a smirk. "Show me, Kakkarot."
"It's called the Hyperbolic Time chamber, I'll show you where it is. Come with me."
"Lead the way." 'And when I've gotten stronger, nothing shall escape my wrath. Not even you, Kakkarot!' And they all took off for the Lookout.
~~~~ A/N ~~~~
Well, I think we all know what happens from here, and Alex won't be changing it much. She refuses to help the others find Cell, OR the Androids. So, in a day's time, Vegeta and Trunks emerge from the time chamber, and Vegeta decides to fight Cell. But this time, Alex decides to follow. And that's where we continue.
~~~~ Somewhere in the Islands area ~~~~
"Go on, Cell. Absorb your android so we can get on with this fight."
"NO FATHER!!"
"SHUT UP BOY!! STAY OUT OF THIS!!"
Alex was watching the familiar events unfold. "Honestly, I'm curious to see his true strength. Oh, and there's Krillin, with Eighteen. And there goes the Great Green One. I could stop him now, but I think I'll watch him beat the living daylights out of Vegeta first." In a way, Alex was beginning to get excited at the prospect of having the chance she didn't get before. Before it wasn't her place to fight him, but this was different. A different dimension, different rules. And besides, she'll make sure things turned out right, she always did!
Well, needless to say, Cell absorbed the android, blah, blah, blah.... Vegeta fought him and lost horribly. Trunks then fought him, but didn't fare too well himself, though better than his father. But just for good measure, Alex decided to join the fight herself.
"Hey, Cell! You wouldn't mind if I fought you here and now, would you?"
Cell looked at her kind of sideways. But, what harm could there be in it? The ten days was for THEIR benefit, not his. Besides, he was still itching to show them all how powerful he really was. "Fine, but seeing how much more powerful than you I am, I'll allow you to set the rules."
Alex smirked a little. "All right. Two things: First, I won't really be fighting you full on, so don't kill me. Second, you have to allow me to fight you at the tournament. Kay? This fight is just for me to stretch my muscles, and to see the extent of your power."
Cell smirked. 'So, she wants me to show her my power, but not to kill her. This could be difficult! But I'm itching to stretch my new muscles anyway, so why not?' "Agreed. I'll show you my power, but I won't kill you. You can start anytime you feel like it."
"Okay." Alex decided that the first thing she should do was to power up. She concentrated her ki, not to its fullest, but still pretty high. By the time she was finished, Cell was beginning to wonder if he hadn't missed an Android or not, and a rather powerful one at that!
"Now. Get ready!" Alex dashed off towards Cell, who nimbly stepped aside only to have a knee jabbed into his stomach.
"[Cough] Why you!" Cell kicked Alex and sent her flying through the nearest cliff-face. 'Well, perhaps I should watch her a bit better. She's not kidding!'
'He, he doesn't know what he's getting into! I'll just have to keep my power down so he continues not knowing.' Alex jumped out of the mountain, and fell back in again as Cell rammed her in the back. 'Okay, well that hurt. I'll just have to be a bit more careful.' Alex charged up again, blasting rocks off her as she searched for Cell's immense ki, and found him behind her.
"Ahh," Reacting quickly she ducked just in time to miss Cell's swing for her head, and to jab said head (hey, that rhymes!) into his gut, sending him into the sky clutching said gut.
Alex sped above him and prepared to slam him in the back. Which she did, very well I might add. "Well, that ought to teach him to take me lightly!" She smiled, winked, and made the 'V' sign with a little laugh.
But her celebration was cut short when Cell blasted the mountain away and came up after her. He attempted a punch, but like a gymnast (or something) she nimbly dodged with her leg in the air, and brought it down to kick him in the head.
But somehow, Cell blocked it at the last second.
Darkly, he stood up; radiating immense power, he gave her a cold stare. Then he started yelling. "That's ENOUGH OF THIS!! THIS GAME STOPS HERE!!!" With that Cell powered up and launched himself at his opponent, slamming her into the ground and blasting her with a barrage of ki-blasts in true Vegeta style.
He waited. And waited. And waited.
And slowly, some rocks started to move, and out popped Alex. Battered and bruised she started laughing, and smiled up at Cell. Powering down, she showed no intention of continuing the fight. "Well Cell! I believe that's enough for now. I look forward to fighting you at the tournament!"
Cell, seeing no reason to continue this fight if he couldn't kill her, decided to let her go, for now. He calmed down, powered down, and waved her away.
A human had challenged him the perfect being, and had actually put up a significant fight! 'Well, if she's coming to the Tournament, I believe things just got a little more interesting...' "Hahahaha! HAHAHAHAHAAAA!"
'Jeeze, what's his problem? He just beat a little human, what's the big deal? Oh, well. I guess I'll finally get the chance to use a bit more than some of my strength. Finally a worthy opponent!!!' Alex was getting the jitters as she passed Krillin and Trunks with Vegeta. 'And things just keep getting better, too.' The thought that Vegeta had seen a human put up a better fight than he had, boy, that was a wish come true for her. 'What else could I wish for?' Then she thought for a moment. 'Well, I would sure like some pizza about now.'
~~~~ A/N ~~~~
The author would like to apologize for Alex's appetite. Despite being a teenage girl, Alex has quite an appetite (for a human), yet still keeps quite a figure! A muscular one, but still pretty good. (She doesn't look like a toothpick or a supermodel, but still pretty good.)
Again, I would like to apologize for her appetite, but it will show up a couple of times in this fic so, just stay prepared for it.
~~~~~~*** End of Chapter 3 ***~~~~~~
In the interest of keeping the chapters manageable, I've cut this chapter here. Next chapter will continue where this one left off so it should be out pretty soon. Look for it!
Alex: Well, that was fun!
Alex Ultra: What was fun? All you did was be mysterious and not beat on Cell!
Alex: And it was fun!
Alex Ultra: Whatever... Later people! Review me!

Oh, and just to clear it up, I already have ideas for the next few chapters, but suggestions are welcome, and encouraged! It would be best if you left suggestions in signed reviews so that I can e-mail you for... details if needed (I know a lot, but not everything!).
