Cell Ch. 6

The wind practically took life as it howled along the plain of the once heavily forested island. Ryonie, now called Mistic, arrived and landed softly on the dusty ground, the dust lifting and swirling around her. On her way she had changed. Her now deep chocolate brown hair was now pulled up by a clip and spilled over the top of the clip so it just brushed the nape of her neck. Her clothes now consisted of dainty blue boots, baggy orange pants, a blue tank top covered by an orange baggy t-shirt and a blue sash tied in a knot in the front. Also she had two blue bands, one on each wrist and a symbol, exactly like Goku's sat large on her back and tiny on her right pocket area. Her eyes may have been steely at the time but she wore a heart warming smile on her face.

In the distance you could see an odd creature sitting on a lone, flat, gray rock. Bluntly it looked like an ugly, beady eyed, green bug. In truth though he was a tall built man like creature wings hidden behind black hard green pointed flats on either side of his head. He possessed little beady blackish blue eyes, set in narrow sockets.

"Hey Cell!" Mistic yelled, "Are ya done with your little nap yet? I'm in the mood to rumble and you're the evil of the day."

"Don't mock me little girl, I've absorbed dogs bigger and tougher than you." Cell retorted as he got up.

"Prove it if you can." She snapped.

"Fine," Cell began, powering up, "I will."

With that the fight was on, they sped toward one another with tantalizing speed. An ordinary observer wouldn't be able to see them, only flashes from where they were. They seemed to be evenly matched, for now.

MEANWHILE

"Everyone stay clam, namely Venus, we will arrive soon and Mars, DO NOT strangle Venus before we get there." Pluto snapped from her seat next to Cye.

Venus had been in a panic and latched on to Rowen, (who I might add was the one driving) do to the speed and altitude of the craft. Rowen just gave her a reassuring smile once in awhile, while Mars on the other hand was almost ready to strangle their so called leader of the Inner Senshi.

"Oh, blow it out your ear Mars, I don't like this thing. It isn't normal. Cars and planes are normal, this car-plane-flyie-thingy is not normal. You don't see these around and…" Venus's rant was abruptly cut off by Mars hitting her upside her head.

"Very funny." Venus pouted.

"If you two could stop your little entertaining game, you would realize that we have arrived at our destination." Neptune announced.

They had just landed on the small barren island when Neptune decided to speak.

Then the hovercraft, for no apparent reason, tipped over and sent the Senshi sprawling and putting the Ronins on their sides. (They were all still buckled in. lol.)

"Gawd! Like she can't see that we're here. When we're done here I am so going to give her a piece of my mind. That is the third time she has done this." Sage complained.

Yeah, well lets un-strap so you can yell at her. Then we can all watch as she gives that icy glare that we all love so much." Kento said with a sarcastic twinkle in his eye.

"Oh yeah, she'll love ya for that Sage." Rowen said landing softly on the side of the hovercraft.

THUMP. THUMP. Cye and Kento hit the floor without as much grace as Rowen or Sage. Pluto went over to Cye and stood over him smiling. She helped Cye up while Jupiter helped up Kento.

"Can we please just go?" Mini Moon snapped.

They all stepped outside only to almost get knocked over by a gust of wind.

"She has got to watch where she is going. Do they ever stop?" Haruka asked

"They will stop in exactly one minute and twenty-five seconds.

She was right; they stopped about twenty feet apart in exactly that time. Cell's green blood dripped to the ground, and he struggled to get up. Her cheek and ankle were reopened and a gash on her arm bled what seemed like non-stop.

"Mistic, Just don't knock us over this next round." Sage put his 'two cents' in.

"Very funny Sage. Now everyone go behind that last little grove. I'm going to take this up a little." She responded.

The group followed their orders as Mercury put her visor on. The Senshi all sat as close as they could to the edge while the Ronins stood behind them, arms folded and everyone's gazes were on the two that stood before them.

"Oh…my…that's not possible." Mercury stuttered out.

"What is?" Jupiter asked.

"The fact that her level of power is raising so fast." Mercury replied.

"She's going up a level. I would duck down now." Cye said.

With his last words the group hit the ground. A few seconds latter a wave of energy went over them and the air seemed to spark with lightning. Jupiter was fairly comfortable now.

"Now Cell's had it. He must have pissed her off. Man." Kento whined.

The Senshi and Warriors then got back up to the way they were sitting, dusting themselves off. But they weren't prepared to see the changes that had occurred to Mistic.

Mistic's eyes were the most changed by the level jump. Her eyes had gone from her old beautiful blue depths to chips of blue ice in cold waters. Her once brown hair was now spiked in its clip and looked like gold. The subtle wind of power that surrounded her had taken on force and golden glow, crackling with lightning sparks and ruffling her cut up clothes. Her intense gaze was fixed on Cell, making him wince and back up.

"What?" She spat. "No more cocky words or comments for me? How does it feel to be on the flip side of the coin? Now you know how they felt, the innocents you consumed. Now you know the terror they felt, the men, the women, and children you oh so graciously killed. Unfortunately, it will not be me who deals you punishment. It will be Goku, Gohan, Trunks, and Vageta who will deal it out and I am positive you would rather have me deal it. I am much, much more lenient on things. You would feel a lot less pain."

"You, why are you just the staler? You pathetic girl. I will make sure you die before they get here." Cell raged.

With that Cell launched off towards Mistic at blinding speed. But he stopped and stood dumb founded. He stood exactly where Mistic had stood. Cell look wildly around.

"How did she do that? It's inhuman." Mars said.

"Well are any of us, with the exception of Darien, truly human. She is a planetary light with Saiyan blood; all of us are planetary lights, except Darien. She is unique like each of us." Rowen answered bluntly.

"So where is she?" Darien asked, mask and hat in hand.

"Directly………above us." Mercury said in shock.

"No way." Uranus said, looking up.

But sure enough, Mistic was high in the sky, practically sitting on a cloud.

"What are you waiting for, you can beat him." Mini Moon yelled up.

The only reply she and the others received was a high pitched whistle. It was long and singing, almost to the point of being hypnotic.

"My." Mercury said.

"What?" Venus, Tuxedo Mask, and Mini Moon asked with concern.

"The whistle she is giving off is making my visor go wild. The power readings, positions, and numbers, her whistle is messing everything up." Mercury just looked exasperated.

The whistling stopped and Kento noticed Cell. Cell had been unable to move. He had been paralyzed on his knees with his hands over his ears. But now Cell was on the move, straight for Mistic. Mistic was dazed by the whistle she had given.

"Look out!" Kento yelled out.

"No." Rowen gritted his teeth and glared at Pluto. "Not on my life. Dow-chi!"

With the last word of Dow-chi Rowen's clothes turned to pre-armor and in a flash of Cherry Blossom petals he was Rowen of the Strata. Dark blue armor and a golden bow.

"Not if I can help it" He spat out, drawing his empty bow.

A golden light arrow appeared in it.

'Please,' He thought, 'let me hit him.'

Rowen released his deadly arrow. It flew at Cell.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" Cell screamed as the arrow struck his arm. It still wasn't enough to stop him from attacking the dazed girl.

"NOOOO!" Rowen yelled as he dropped to his knees. Rowen glared at Pluto, heartbroken. Pluto just smiled. A flash of light streaked through the sky toward Cell, hitting him dead on and sending him flying downward. Mistic was saved and the Z fighters had arrived.

Goku went over to Mistic. They talked, and then descended to the ground to see Gohan, Trunks and Vageta. The four men were only recognized by the fact that they had been on T.V. Goku was easily recognized due to being in the World's Martial Arts Tournament, he was a sort of an odd, kind, strong man with funny black hair. You could tell Gohan by the fact that he resembled his father, Goku. Vageta, man you could tell him a mile away, black spiked hair and angry expression. Trunks was new. He was from the future and had a bowl cut with purple hair and he slightly resembled Vageta.

"We should get ready to go. The next stop is the Eastern most island in this cluster that is where we are needed." Pluto stated.

"What about…" The untransformed Rowen began.

"She will be with us soon." Pluto said, walking toward the hovercraft.

The rest followed to look at the damage to the hovercraft. The side it had been hit on had broken glass and a dented side. Other then that it was just tipped over. They tipped it back the right way and stayed looking at it in a group trying to figure out how to fix it.

"I could melt it." Mars suggested.

"And I could cool it." Mercury said. "Or I could just freeze it."
"And I could help." Kento added.

"Or…" Pluto dragged out. Everyone stopped and listened. "We could just see if Mistic could fix it, it is her craft after all."

"Yeah, you've got a point." Venus and Jupiter agreed.

The group waited for her to get up there and see the damage. She seemed unfazed and thoughtful.

Pluto slid up beside her and whispered, "I thought you could use some of your magic to fix this."

"I could," She whispered back, "But it would be a large drain to hold the spells all the way to the next island we must be at. I may have to drop one of my spells to hold it. Even so I will be magically drained for at least a half hour. But I'll do it."

They looked at each other and smiled, and then Pluto backed up.

"Please, no one be afraid. I can perform magic, but in order to hold the ship, I will need to drop the spell that binds my wings form view. So please stand back and let me work." Mistic announced.

"Wings?" The Senshi, minus Pluto, choked out.
