Chapter 24: Battle's End

"This is impossible! You can't be stronger than me! I have the Angel power!"

"Thanks to Cell, I can now avenge my two fallen friends. You asked me if I had ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight earlier, didn't you? Well, are you ready to dance again?"

"You're all talk!" Drazark charged, but I was several yards away, and by the time he got there it was too late. I used his speed and my power to punch him in the stomach. It nearly broke him in half. He fell over, and I bent down so I could look in his eyes. There was nothing there but hate and evil. I stood back up.

"You may have my powers, but you can't use them. That's how I'll beat you. You can't unlock the full potential of the Angel because you have no love in your heart. But I'll give you a sporting chance. I'll count to ten before I start to attack again. One, two, three…"

He got up and punched me in the chest, but it still didn't hurt.

"What? Stop it!"

"Four, five…" I sneered.

He jumped back and started making a Ki blast. I wasn't scared, there was no way he could damage Dragonfly. I was perfect.

Wow, it's so easy to fell like a god as Cell. No wonder he always said he was perfect…

"Eight, nine…" I laughed, interrupting my count. He threw the blast at me, and I felt a burning sensation. I felt up upper body being torn away. I screamed in pain, and fell over. The funny thing is though, I still had my senses. I felt myself grow again while Drazark was laughing.

I stood up, fully reformed.

"Katie! I mean, Dragonfly!" Gohan cheered.

"What! You were-"

"Ten!" I lengthened my tail and wrapped him tight as I could, but kept him at a distance.

"What is this!"

"Cell could regenerate, and now so can I. And now I'm going to destroy you, not only to avenge, but to protect as well."

I got into the stance and started to create the best attack in my new arsenal.

"Kaaaa!"

"Stop, let me go!"

"Me!"

"Please, I'll give you anything you want!"

"Haa!"

"Come on, Dragonfly!" Vegeta cried.

Thanks, Vegeta. Thanks Goku, and thank you, Cell. Without you three, I wouldn't be anywhere near where I am today.

"Me!"

"Stop it!"

"HAA!" I blasted with the strongest Kamehameha I could, "This is for Goku and Cell!" I held Drazark with my tail and blasted him as hard as I could. I felt my tail being burned away, but I ignored the pain the best I could as I let it all go.

"Keep it up!"

"Die, Drazark! Die!" I screamed as I blasted away.

Finally my energy was spent, and I couldn't give anymore to the blast. I stopped, and fell forward onto my hands and knees. My tail automatically regenerated as I retracted it.

"He's really gone. All of them. I beat Drazark, but at the cost of two lives. Dammit all."

I felt Dragonfly melt away as I fell to my knees. I was me again, and I felt something take Dragonfly's place.

"I'm back, Katie. You did it." it was her, my Inner Light.

"Katie, is he gone?" Mirai asked. I went over to him and knelt next to him, holding his hand.

"Yes, he's gone now. He won't hurt anyone ever again."

"Come on, Katrin. Let's go to the Lookout." Vegeta, no longer SSJ, placed his hand on my shoulder to urge me on. I got up and was handed a Zinzu bean. Vegeta and Mirai each got one as well. Mirai sat up.

"How are ya?" I asked Mirai. He lowered his head and looked at his hands. He turned them over and flexed his fingers.

"I still can't see."

"Here, let me take a look." I raised Mirai's face up and looked at his eyes. There was nothing there, just white.

"Your entire optical system is gone. All that's there is the orb."

"Damn him." Mirai said.

"I'm sure Bulma will think of something to help, if nothing else." Gohan said, trying to cheer up Mirai. It didn't work.

"Come on, I'll help you to the Lookout. Maybe Dende can heal this."

So we all flew to the Lookout, except Goku. His body was gone, he was in Otherworld. But he could be wished back, so I didn't cry.

But Cell was gone forever.

We landed at the Lookout and everyone mobbed us, wanting answers. Vegeta told the story, and I couldn't help it, I cried. I hadn't cried this much since Namek.

"Goku's gone?"

"I'll get him back. I'll go after the Dragonballs starting in the morning. And I don't want any arguments, but I want to do it alone. I have my reasons."

"Sure, if that's the way you want it." Gohan said.

"Thanks."

"So what happened to you, Katie? What was Planet Vegeta like?"

"It's a long story. I had no memory of any of you guys. I was Katrin, and I lived with my Sayjin parents, and Bardock, and Kakorot and Raditz. I met with Frieza, and I was being forced to marry him."

"Gross." Krillen said.

"I know things about Sayjins I didn't know before, but I don't know if they're real or made up. I found the illusion's Prince Vegeta in Freiza's dungeon. I ended up killing him. It was a mercy kill. The entire time I was having visions of you guys. I thought I was going crazy. Humans were servants to the Sayjins. Finally I lead an attack against Frieza, and it was then that Cell sacrificed himself to save me. His soul is gone, he can never come back. In the end I truly did die, but before I had one last vision. It was of me as a Super Sayjin. I knew it was real, but I didn't understand it fully. I killed Frieza and then broke free."

"Why would Cell sacrifice himself for you?" 17 asked snidely.

"We were best friends." I said as I walked in to the inner rooms of the Lookout. Dende was trying to heal Mirai's eyes.

"Dende, how's it going?" I asked when I walked in. We moved out of Mirai's hearing range, and he had bandages over his eyes. It was to keep out any infections.

"I can't help him. The damage is too severe."

"What can I do? What if I transformed into Angel, is there a way I could help him then?"

"I don't think that would help either."

"Damn. I'm going to hunt for the Dragonballs tomorrow so Goku can be restored."

"Good."

"Mirai, are you ready to go home?" I asked, turning back to him.

"Yes, I think that's a really good idea."

"Me too." I helped him up and lead him back out to the others. First thing, Trunks motioned to Mirai's eyes. I shook my head.

"We're going home. I'll see you in a little while, right Vegeta?"

"Yes, I'll be right there. Bulma has the children there already."

So I teleported the two of us home.
