Chapter 15
'You Idiot' Yelled Mirai as he ran towards the Goddess. 'You could have been KILLED! You should have let me help you! You don't know what that stupid Kate will do! You don't know if she will always be on your side! You SHOULD have killed her you stupid girl!' yelled Mirai at the goddess. Her silver eyes shone with tears that she tried not to shed.
'I did what I thought and still think is right. I didn't die, no one but me was any bit remotely hurt and Kate is with a loving family and won't turn on us! Can't you see I did what I thought was the best thing to do?' Devi said to Mirai. 'Why can't you believe me?' said Devi in tears
'Because I don't know who you are any more!' spat Mirai and walked away to where he was meant to lay down and pretend to be dead. Devi looked at him and de transformed into just Serena from the future. She looked at her younger self on the floor and the younger form of her brother and then flew off the lookout as fast as her normal transformation would allow.
Serena flew till she found that special place she went when things didn't go her way. It was a beautiful part of the forest that seemed untouched. The water fall seemed to touch the sky, the trees where as green as emeralds and the water seemed as blue as sapphires. Around near the base of the waterfall were rocks that seemed to be made just for sitting on. No where else in the lush area were any other rocks, only the greenest and softest grass she has ever seen or felt. Above her the sun shone threw the leaves of the trees and onto the water making the light dance in a way that seemed almost friendly.
Serena landed on the soft grass and then fell onto her knees and put her head into her hands and cried. She cried away from people she knew, people who respected her and people who cared.
She cried for the words spoken from a person she thought loved her. She cried for his disbelief. She cried for the pain in her heart. And she cried for herself, her native-ness in believing that someone loved her and for her broken heart.
Mirai. Because of him she was crying. Why should she be crying over his words? Because he loved her or did he?
Vegeta/Libra had told Gemini he loved her
Michael/Angelo had told Angel/Serenity he loved her.
But had Mirai Trunks told Serena Son that he loved her? No! It was his pasted forms that loved her past forms. Mirai didn't seem to love her and if he did he didn't show it today very well. He didn't trust her abilities, he didn't trust her judgment and he wasn't happy that she had won without killing anyone.
Mirai Trunks Briefs didn't love Serena Olivia Son.
That was it, that was all. Serena then thought of something. Did she love Mirai?
Gemini had told Vegeta/Libra she loved him and she had loved him
Serenity/Angel was in love with Michael/Angelo and she had told him
Yet did Serena love Mirai? He was nice, most of the time, he was strong, he was cute, he listened, most of the time, he was different then the others, yet so was she. Did she love him? She wasn't sure and she wouldn't say anything to any since she didn't want to be hurt.
Serena moved herself over to the waters edge, she could now still lay down but look into the water too. What she saw she didn't like
She saw a girl with long messy black hair with a tint of silver, a girl with black eyes with a hint of red around them, a girl with lightly tanned skin and a girl with tear stains down her checks. Her tears still ran, ran down her cheeks then into the water flowing away with the current.
Serena sat up and sat at the waters edge. She looked down into the water and saw her clothes bloody and torn. She closed her eyes and then a second later she opened them again. She saw her once torn and bloody leans and shirt turned into a clean and well kept blue two piece.
She dipped her feet into the water and then slid into it. The cooling liquid surrounded the teen and soon her whole body was underwater. She opened her eyes only to see perfectly clearly and not blurry as it normally was when she opened her eyes underwater. She started to swim deeper and deeper into the depths of the known to her. Everything looked so peaceful and untouched. She kept swimming down and with the current.
She reached the bottom of the river and watched around her. Everything was so quiet and serene. She saw a small school of very little fish swim near by and then she noticed her hair. It flowed around her reminding her a lot or Arial from the little mermaid. Giggling she spun around and watched everything spin and how her hair reacted. She then looked down and noticed something. Her chest and stomach rose up and down as if she was breathing above the water. Also her lungs didn't sting with the need of air. She was breathing normally.
'What's happening?' she thought to herself as she still watched her chest rise and fall 'I can breath underwater! Totally cool!' a little fish swam by, all my it's self. 'NEMO!' her mind screamed thinking of a movie in her time! 'I found Nemo!'
The fish stopped and looked at the girl. The fish looked young, a few weeks old maybe but it had this look as though it was about to say something.
'Hi' the fish said. Serena blinked at the fish
'Did you SAY something to me?' she said and it was her voice that was heard not a lot of bubbles coming out of her mouth. The fish giggled
'Yeah! Who else would I talk to?' the fish asked, Serena blushed a little bit and then smiled
'Sorry I only just found out I could breathe underwater and now I can talk to fish' Serena answered
'That's ok, I normally talk to humans but they normally they don't talk back! You must be special! Maybe like a super human or even a god!' said the little silver baby fish in awe
'Well I kind of am a goddess, I'm known as Gemmi, Serenity or Devi. Heard of me?' Serena asked wondering if these fish knew more then they were given credit for. The fish's eyes widened and the fish smiled…well as good as a fish COULD smile
'YOUR DEVI! You mean the ultimate goddess? The most powerful warrior in the history of the universe? The one who is said to come and ride all evil? The one that controls all? The one that is one with nature?' asked the little fish
'I'm Devi yeah but I didn't know all that other stuff but it might explain why I can talk to you.' Serena/Devi said
'That's SO cool! I'm Sparkles by the way! It's SO good to meet you!' Sparkles said swimming around the head of the teen.
'Nice to meet you too sparkles.' The teen said then an older fish that looked the same as Sparkles
'Come along Sparkles, this human can't understand you!' the older fish said Sparkles rolled her fishy eyes and sighed
'Ok daddy! Bye bye Devi' the fish said and swam away as Serena/Devi waved.
Serena then swam up to the surface to come face to face with Mirai.
'Serena…we need to talk' he whispered and pulled her out of the water
'How'd you find me?' Serena ask meekly sitting down in the grass with Mirai. Mirai stared at her figure but then tore his eyes away from her and said
'Who are you?' she blinked not getting what he meant then it hit her
'I'm not sure. I think I'm Serena, Gemini, Serenity and Devi all in one…I'm not sure. But who are you?' she asked looking at the water.
'I am me with new powers. I have two past lives and everything else I'm not sure of.' Mirai looked at the girl who had shared so much with him. He pulled Serena closer to him and looked her in the eyes. 'You don't know who you are yet you know your powers?' he asked. She looked away and then to the sky
'Hidden voices…they told me my penitential, what I could do…I believed them. I think it was Gemini and Serenity talking to me, telling me what to do. I knew I could do it because they had done things just like what happened today…why didn't you believe I could do it?' Serena hurt voice echoed in his mind as she looked him in the eyes. Blue clashed with black, both filled with deep hidden emotions. Pain, struggle, self hatred, sadness and love.
'Michael and Libra talked to me too, they said you could get hurt, that they wanted to protect you just like I did. They didn't want you to see anymore pain then you had too.' He whispered as he looked deep into the goddess' eyes
'Michael and Libra loved someone in me but why did you want to protect me?' asked Serena looking right back into the blue eyes which looked away after the comment had been made
'I…I don't know. I just felt like I had to…because….' He started
'Because why Mirai? Why did u need to protect me?' his blush grew brighter. He opened his mouth to say something when his mobile rang, he looked surprised and then picked it up and answered it
'Hello?' Serena sat back and listened to the one sided conversation 'Hey mum how'd you get my number?...I did weird…she does?...I'll be there…yeah soon…love you too mum…later' Mirai hung up the phone and placed it in his pocket then turned to the girl near him. Serena stood up and turned away from him.
'Go! Just go! Go to whoever is more important to you!' Serena said a little too harshly then she would have liked. Mirai got up and walked over to her. Taking her hand and turning her to face him he whispered
'Will you be here when I come back?' Serena pulled her hands away and looked at the water sadly
'I'll at least be in this dimension, I can't leave without Videl and Gohan. Go before I do.' She whispered and dived into the water once again. Mirai just stood there knowing it was his fault that she was being cold to him so he took to the air to meet up with Serena's younger counter part.
Gohan and Videl watched all this from a pond that Lauren was controlling.
'Serena is being totally stubborn! Can't she see that he loves her?' Cried Videl to the other 3 around her. Adam and Lauren looked at each other then at Videl
'She can see but she doesn't want to.' Answered Lauren making Gohan and Videl give a confused look
'She doesn't want to be hurt or let him get hurt by one of them leaving. She knows that sooner or later he…' Adam started
'…and herself will have to leave each other to return where they belong' Lauren finished
'But don't they both belong here? In this dimension?' Gohan asked confused
'Yes but first they must both…' Lauren started
'…Return where they belong till it is time for them both to be called permanently here…' Adam continued
'…and that won't be for around 100 years when they have both finished living in their mortal worlds.' Finished Lauren standing up and walking over to a tree and pulled off 4 apples. 'Here eat this, should keep you full for a while' Lauren instructed as she threw Adam, Gohan and Videl and keeping one for herself.
'Is there anyway we can go home? I mean I want to say goodbye to my mother before we leave.' Gohan asked Adam
'Yeah when ARE we leaving?' Videl asked. Adam and Lauren exchanged looks
'When Mistress Serenity feels she is ready. She is still hiding in the mortal world trying to figure out her feelings.' Adam answered looking into the pool where Serena was getting out of the water and sitting into her mediation position.
'I wonder why she is mediating' muttered Videl to herself as Serena just sat their 'maybe we should check on what Mirai is up to. I mean he did just leave Serena when she needed him to say something.' With a wave of her hand Lauren changed the pool to show Mirai sitting at a table and talking with a younger version of Serena and Gohan as well as the past forms of Bulma and Vegeta.
'Brat follow me' Vegeta said to his future son and walked to his GR. Mirai got up and followed.
'What's up dad?' Mirai asked looking confused 'do you want to spar or something father?' he asked.
'No brat I want to know what are you going to do about Gemini. Why did you go off like that before at the lookout?' asked Vegeta as he lent against the wall of his GR. Mirai went a little red and turned away
'She could have gotten hurt. I couldn't stand it if she got hurt…' Mirai started but his father interrupted from the wall
'And why would that be?' Vegeta smirked as Mirai turned a brighter shade of red and opened his mouth but nothing came out. 'What was that son?' Mirai turned an even brighter red and whispered just loud enough for Vegeta to here
'Because I…I love her.' Vegeta smirked and then laughed
'I knew it! I knew it! You were scared that she would get hurt and you would lose her. So when are you going to mate?' Mirai turned even redder
'FATHER!' Mirai screamed and turned away from Vegeta blushing
'You will sooner or later. So tell her you love her then start with the mating. You know you want to!' Vegeta laughed and then calmed down 'so go brat. Go do what you have to do then go tell that girl you love her and start mating.' Vegeta finished as he pushed Mirai out of his GR.
Mirai stood there stunned at the OC of his father at the beginning and the straight forwardness of how Vegeta put how Mirai himself felt. Chibi Serena then ran up to Mirai.
'Mirai want to go to the river? Please! I'm not allowed to go anywhere with out an adult. Please!' begged the child. He looked at her
'She looks so much like her older self! I have to tell Serena or Gemini or whoever she is now that I do, I really do love her!' Mirai thought to himself then out loud he said to the child. 'Ok but we have to be back before dark, I don't want to have to face your mother.'
Chibi Serena screamed in delight and ran off saying she would be ready in 10 minutes. Mirai sighed and wondered to himself as he walked to his room and got his stuff ready
'Can I really loose her again?'
Meanwhile Serena was searching herself for the answers she needed. Going into mediation position Serena started her search. She had no idea where to look but soon knew she was in the right place when she saw the door. This time when she opened it their were three people sitting at the table. Serenity, Gemini and a new person
'Welcome back Serena' Serenity said waving her hand over her glass and it filled up again but a red liquid.
'I thought you all disappeared when I chose for the merger.' Serena said
'We will never disappear Serena. The merger was only of our powers and what you will become. We will always be here to guide you.' Gemini answered after taking a long drag of her coffee.
'We are also you different power ups well besides your Super Saiyan transformation. You can choose to become Serenity or Gemini or the combination of both which is me. Devi.' Said the new person. Serena looked her up and down.
The new person and long silver hair which was tied up in a brad and bright silver eyes. She wore a silver Gi with a golden undershirt, gold sash, boots and wrist bands. All up the new girl seemed to look about 21 or 22.
'So does this mean I have like a split personality kinda?' asked Serena looking at all of the three girls
'Yeah kinda. We will talk to you subconsciously to begin with but as you get use to us we will talk to in the centre of your mind where you will hear us right away.' Answered Devi as she waved her hand and a glass filled with water appeared.
'So what am I? What do I have to do?' asked Serena sitting down at the table and she too waved her hand and a glass of water appeared.
'You Serena are a goddess. You are the reincarnation of myself and Serenity over there. You are a combination of both of us yet you are nothing like us. You will choose your own path and rule the universes. You are known throughout the multi-universes as Devi, the goddess who will rule over all, be one with nature and bring peace forever.' Answered Gemini who looked Serena right in the eye.
'But what is my name? Am I Serena? Serenity? Gemini? Devi or do I have a totally different name all together?' Serena explained confused.
'Your name in your mortal form as you are now is still Serena. When you choose to become the combination of Serenity and Gemini you are me, Devi…' started Devi
'…when you choose to become all light and the reincarnation of Serenity you are me…' continued Serenity
'…and when you let your instincts take over and you become a pure blooded Saiyan or you go to the stars for answers then you become me, Gemini the Saiyan who was really a star.' Finished Gemini. Serena just sat there looking at the walls of the room trying to get everything to sink in.
'What will happen to me?' asked Serena turning to Devi who seemed to know everything
'You child will become who you wish to become. You will do as you wish because we cannot choose for you' Devi answered and looked to the others
'But you will go back to your own time and live out your mortal life normally' added Gemini
'We'll train you though you know to like control your powers but then again so will Lauren and Adam.' Serenity added after taking a sip of her red drink and then giggling.
'What are you laughing at Serenity?' asked Serena taking a sip of water
'You and my Michael! He's so confused it's not funny and he's love struck for you and doesn't know about it yet!' giggled the youngest goddess their. Gemini stole Serenity's glass and looked inside.
'Serenity! How many times have I told you not to conjure red soft drink! It makes you totally hyper!' Gemini said scolding Serenity.
'Oh great! Now I have a little hyper being running around in me! That will be fun!' Serena said sitting back and glaring playfully at Serenity.
'Ok. I'm sorry!' muttered Serenity. Serena smiled sadly at the thought of Mirai.
'Serena he loves you, that why he needed to protect you. He knew he couldn't loose you again. He remembers how you lost you long ago and I bet he doesn't want that to happen again.' Gemini said looking up from her coffee.
'Oh…that would explain it…but he doesn't show he loves me.' Said Serena looking down into her glass.
'That's just the way guys are, they are insecure but they don't show it. They have to be pushed to do anything to with feelings.' Gemini said smiling
'How would you know?' asked Serenity
'My Vegeta had to be pushed by his father to tell me he loved me. It was all worth it though' smiled Gemini and then took a sip of her coffee.
'Hey Serena it's getting late you better get out of mediation and get going.' Devi said getting up.
'How do you know?' asked Serena
'Because we understand and know how differently time passes in the brain then it does outside. You've been here for a few hours' Devi answered as Serena stared at her in amazement.
'Wow! Well then I better go. Hey will you guys teach me how to do that, tell time while I'm in mediation?' asked Serena as she got up to the door
'Yeah we will. Now go!' Devi said and pushed Serena out the door.
Serena opened her eyes with a start and looked around, the sun had set and the moon hung high over the earth shining down upon the planet and its people. Serena stretched out her sensors and found that Mirai was coming and was only a few minutes away. She looked down at herself and she noticed she was only in a pair of swimmers.
Concentrating the bikini glowed and morphed into a lovely hugging midnight blue dress that went down to her knees and didn't have any sleeves. Upon her feet now rested a pair of midnight blue high heels that had straps over her feet and partly up her ankles. Placed her hand above her hair and slowly she felt warmth come from that hand and soon her hair as dry and curling over her shoulders. With one ounce of concentration a ribbon wrapped around her head and tied underneath her hair at the back of her head.
Serena rearranged herself on the soft grass and waited for Mirai to appear in the sky which wasn't long, only about a minute. Mirai landed with a soft thud and then sat down next to Serena.
'I've been hanging with your younger self today.' Mirai said when he noticed that Serena had turned away from him. 'She was really upset about her father I thought she needed it. Chibi Gohan was hanging around too. I hope they had fun.'
'Well I know I did when you did that with me, it really cheered me up something I really needed back then but I still need it today.' Whispered Serena
'What do you mean?' he asked looking at her noticing how beautiful she looked in the dress she was wearing.
'long ago I remember two of your personalities told my other personalities that they loved each other…I need to know if your right here and right now love me right here right now.' Serena said looking right into Mirai's eyes and he turned away.
'Love complicates things, why bother with it. It got you angry with me, makes my parents act all weird and makes your mother sad because she lost the one she loved. If I do love someone it would only bring pain. So why bother?' he said looking at his hands. Serena placed a hand on his cheek and turned him to face her
'I thought I was meant to be mad at you but I'm not any more.' Whispered Serena 'please just please tell me if you do or don't love me right here and right now! Please tell me!' a tear escaped down her cheek and she awaited his response.
'Serena…' Mirai started as Serena closed her eyes and expected the worst. She jumped a bit when she felt Mirai's hand on her cheek wiping away the one lone tear. Serena opened her eyes and looked deep into Mirai's. 'I can't lie to you Serena…I do love you but…but I'll have to leave soon to go back into my time as will you.'
Serena smiled and when she smiles her eyes shine with life and love.
'We'll meet again I'm sure of it because…' Serena started but was interrupted but Mirai's lips on hers. The kisses became deeper and more passionately till Serena pulled away and yawned placing her head on Mirai's shoulder.
'You're tired. You've been though a lot today, you should rest.' Whispered Mirai in Serena's ear which made her giggle softly into his shoulder. 'I'm taking you to CC where you can get some rest' he said and took Serena into his arms bridal style. He then jumped into the air and took off to CC. he soon landed on the balcony of his room and walked into his warm room while Serena slept in his arms.
Softly and carefully Mirai placed the girl of his dreams onto his large king size bed. Mirai walked over and lit the fire which he sat in front of and stared into it lost. A soft silky voice brought back his attention to the world of the living
'Mirai honey…are you ok' asked Serena waking up and watching Mirai from the bed. Mirai turned to her and smiled.
'As long as you as still with me I will be.' He whispered and walked over to her and sat next to her on the bed. Serena blushed at the comment and then moved over on the bed
'Lay down with me please' she whispered
'Isn't that outfit hard to sleep in?' he asked. She nodded and then closed her eyes while her clothes glowed and morphed into a long white princess style night dress without shoes. Her hair also fell from its ribbon and fell behind her.
'Come' she whispered. Mirai took off his pants and top leaving only his boxers on.
'You don't mind me only in my boxers?' he asked blushing as she looked him up and down.
'I don't mind at all. Now come over here' Mirai moved the blankets and got into the bed. Serena then moved over to him and placed her head softly on Mirai's bare chest while Mirai wrapped his arm around her and held onto one of her hands with his free hand. She sighed and smiled as her free hand ran up and down his mussels on his stomach. Mirai smiled down at the girl and kissed the top of her head lightly making her look up. She kissed his lips softly and then placed her head back onto his chest with a smile of pure happiness on her face.
'This is perfect' he whispered to the girl in his arms.
'I know. I wish tomorrow would never come' she whispered back
'Let's not think about tomorrow but here and now.' Mirai replied and slowly feel asleep with a goddess in his arms. Serena smiled to herself and listened to Mirai's heat beat and slow rhythmical breathing. She looking into the sky and saw a shooting star and made a wish.
'I wish things with Mirai would always be as perfect as they are now' Serena then fell asleep with a smile of pure happiness on her face and in the arms of someone she truly loved.
In the world of the Gods Lauren watched over Videl and Gohan as they slept in each other arms. Adam sat near Lauren watching his master and Mistress Serenity sleep in each others arms. He looked down at them and smiled.
'Sleep well Master for soon things will not be as perfect as they are now.'
There you are! Chapter 15! YAY! 10 pages! I'm so proud!
To all my loyal readers I am SO sorry! I know it's been several months since I updated but things have kinda well caught up with me. I never in my whole life expected yr 11 to be as hard as it is now. Oh yeah and I've been to the hospital twice since my stomach saw so sore. Doctor says it was stress. Eh! What you going to do, take away all my assessments, all my homework, all my troubles with guys, troubles with my friends, troubles with my 'father' and all my exams? Hey that wouldn't be so bad! You can do that if you want!
I have a few other ideas for stories and they might be out soon if I can continue them or…well find them.
Review corner
bitten by the kitten: thanks
cosmictwilight: yeah Kate is a goodie now. Glad you keep writing. I'm sorry this took so long to come out.
ShadowObscurity: don't worry about that, as long as you review this chapter and the ones that follow! Sorry about the ending. I suck at endings so I ended it where I thought I would get the most attention. lol. Well any ideas for what to do in this or the sequel would be appreciated
Kaye: thanks for your ideas. I'm sorry but the Matrix DBZ style won't be out till at least after my exams, which is when I start yr 12 (senior year) in about 12 weeks. At the moment I am scared about what will happen but oh well. Goku well I Kate him because well he reminds me of my good for nothing father. Did the same bloody thing to me! Goku is never the good guy in my stories. I totally can't have him in DBZ Matrix unless it's a small part. I was actually thinking Vegeta as Morpheus. Oh and I'm not the only one who hates Goku. There are HEAPS of Goku bashing and hating stories out there. And don't worry. I'll email you when it comes out (DBZ matrix that is)
Please everyone Review! It really helps me to continue to write.
