Warrior of the fallen
By: nonamewriter
Chap. 4
I tried so hard...
(A/N): Ok guys, instead of redoing the entire end of the Cell games, let's fast forward a bit and I'll quickly explain what's going on.For those of you who saw this part on TV, bear with me will you? Goku and Cell fight, and just when it looks like Goku is winning, Cell takes over again. Goku voluntarily gives up the battle clicks remote and pictures of a bunch of shocked Z fighters show up, including that still unnamed fighter, (yes that's right, for all of you of whom I'm ruining this for, Goku gives up voluntarily) he then let's Gohan take over, but not before giving Cell a sensu bean (yep, you heard me right). Gohan and Cell duke it out for a little while before Gohan chops off his tail, and this is where we continue...
They all watched the seemingly lifeless tail on the ground for a moment. Silence filled the canyon. The lone fighter had set her arm back down on the ground, right next to the sensu bean, and had stood up to watch the fight closely.
The tail twitched slightly, before large lumps appeared and it separated into a handful of blobs. The lumps continued to grow until they were the size of a child, and then took on a humanoid form. Growing arms and legs, the figures stood in a row. Soon they all bore the familiar features that of their «father», Cell, the only difference was their height and their blue shells. Bearing the same smirks, they didn't hesitate to attack the Z fighters.
Those able to power up to Super Sayajin did so, where as the others prepared them selves for the battle. All except for the female warrior, she couldn't raise her energy enough to reach super sayajin, she had spent it during the battle with Cell.
The Cell juniors were soon upon them, and the Z fighters tried to fend for their own, but more-or-less got beaten into the ground.
The silent warrior received a quick blow to the jaw, and was kicked swiftly in the side, causing her to collapse on the ground. The Cell junior landed gracefully on his feet next to her, nudging her to get up, wanting more of a challenge. But she couldn't, she was so weak. She could barely protect herself from the hard kicks she received, two in the side, one in the leg, and one particularly hard kick in the head, causing her to her to fly through the air momentarily. She landed roughly amongst the havoc, rolling a few times before using all her remaining—but quickly diminishing—strength to try and force herself to her knees, but was beaten down again.
Blood trickled down her forehead, and a large bruise was forming on her jaw. One eye was partially closed due to the kick she had received, having damaged it. She looked around, searching for a way to fight back, and quickly found her detached arm, with the ever present bean laying next to it. They were within arms length to her, so with a swift movement, she grasped the metal forearm within her hand and swung it around. Her metal talons connected successfully with her opponent's chest, tearing five long gashes through his shell. She used his look of surprise as her cue to make her move. She grabbed the sensu bean off the dusty ground. She looked at it for a moment, before muttering to herself.
"This had better fucking work." With that she shoved the bean into her mouth. The effects were almost immediate. She could feel her strength return, her wounds healing, and her power level skyrocketing. With a flash, she stood there in all of her super sayajin fury, green eyes glaring at the mini-Cell. Pure hatred was the only emotion expressed on her face. "Payback time." She said, her eyes flashing dangerously.
She launched herself at the mini-horror, and kicked him to the ground. He quickly got up, and threw himself at her. Suddenly, all that could be seen were a series of blurs, as they darted all over the makeshift battlefield.
Their attention was torn away from each other, as they heard Gohan's furious cry, right before the dramatic increase in his power level.
While they had been fighting, Android 16 had tried his best to destroy Cell, by using his self destruct. Unfortunately, Cell had survived, and crushed the only remains of 16; his head. This had infuriated Gohan, and as the tears streaked down his face, his golden spikes became even more pronounced, standing straight up, as one piece dangled in front of his face. He had reached the second level of the Super sayajin, passing the remaining sayajins extremely quickly.
He darted around, one kick or punch to each of the Cell juniors, destroying them easily, freeing their opponents.
(A/N): Ok, so Gohan has released his power and achieved SS2, and kills all the Cell juniors. Now all that the Cell juniors are destroyed, everyone's attention goes back to the fight between Cell and Gohan. Gohan enjoys playing with Cell a little bit, and defends the Earth quite nicely. When Cell receives a brutal blow to his stomach, Android 18 pops out, all covered in icky gooey stuff. Cell turns back into imperfect Cell, and is forced to use his self destruct to destroy everyone. He blows up like a balloon, and just stands there waiting to destruct. But Goku steps in, and uses his instant transmission to teleport both Cell and himself to King Kai's planet, where he blows up. Killing Goku, King Kai, Bubbles, and Gregory (noooooo... not Gregory!) One of Cell's (ack!) cells, didn't get destroyed in the blast, and Cell regenerates himself. He acquired Goku's instant transmission, and is now back to being perfect Cell, even without #18. He teleports back to Earth. And now we continue with the story...
A fierce wind blew around all of them, kicking waves of sand. They could feel his power. Cell had returned, bigger and badder then ever.
No one saw, or could prepare for what would come next. A single hand rose out of the flying sand, and a beam of energy left its finger tip and traveled through the air. It struck Trunks right in the middle of his chest, crashing straight through his armor and painfully into his skin. He was thrown back by the blast, and landed several feet away.
Vegeta was shocked, his son had just been killed by Cell. His temper took over, and he attacked Cell with more power he thought he possessed. Unfortunately for him though, Trunks wasn't dead, well not yet at least.
Trunks stirred slightly on the ground and murmured incoherently. That brought everyone's attention back to him. Lifting her feet off the ground, the silent warrior floated back to his side, while Tien and Yamcha raced along the ground.
She knelt down next to Trunks, looking at the wound in his chest, before shaking her head in disbelief.
"He should be dead," She said, looking at the wound, her features returning to the cold, stone-like appearance. "No one could survive that, not straight through the heart."
"Can you do anything about it?" Yamcha asked, looking at her hopefully. He was rewarded with a hard glare.
"I'm a fighter, not a doctor." She said simply. "There's nothing any doctor could do, he's as good as dead." And with that she stood up and began walking away.
"You're just going to walk away like that while he's lying here dying!" Tien shouted after her. She stopped.
"He's not dying anymore... he's dead." She said bitterly. Tien and Yamcha's gaze hesitantly returned to Trunks, she was right, he had stopped breathing. He was dead.
Tien carefully moved Trunks' motionless body out of the way, just in case something were to happen. He joined the rest of the Z fighters to watch the battle that raged on between Vegeta, and Cell.
(A/N) Here we go again, shakes head in disbelief, so Trunks is now dead, Cell shot him. Vegeta got pissed, and attacked Cell, but was beaten down within a few seconds. He was almost killed, but Gohan took the blast for him, using his energy to block it. Gohan's left arm was dislocated, so he couldn't use it, and was ready to give up. But Goku talked to him telepathically from the 'other world', giving him quite the motivational speech. Gohan launched a one handed Ka Ma Ha Ma Ha, and Cell countered it with one of his own, so they are locked in a life or death situation, if either one of them falters in their concentration, the other will win.
They all watched the fantastic light show from a distance, the two energy attacks merged together in one large ball of pure destruction. Knowing they had to do something, Piccolo, Tien, Krillen, and Yamcha, stood up and ran behind Cell. There, they unleashed all of their energy onto him. Cell merely redirected some of his attack in their direction, knocking them all down, but they just got back up and continued their onslaught with sheer determination.
Vegeta stood, watching the battle rage on, carefully considering whether or not to participate. His gaze didn't falter as the other sayajin walked up next to him, and spoke in a bitter monotone.
"This is your planet, not mine. Whether you want to save it or not is up to you. But I'm not about to let three perfectly good sayajin descendants go to waste." She spoke so calmly, despite the situation. Vegeta couldn't help but look at her. Her stone grey eyes locked on the battle below, before shifting to look at him expectantly. He hesitated, but responded.
"Very well." He said coldly.
And with that said, she took to the air, and flew up behind Cell. Vegeta followed silently, floating up beside her. Both sets of eyes were fixed on Cell, and at exactly the same moment, two battle cries were heard above the roar of the battle below, and their kis soared up. Both reached the level of Super sayajin, their golden auras flowing around their bodies.
Vegeta charged up is Big Bang Attack, while the other super sayajin put her hands up, ready for her own onslaught. A few seconds later, a beam of energy, accompanied by an equally dangerous ball of pure power, soared through the air. Cell staggered forward as both attacks hit him, his concentration gone momentarily.
With the signal from his dead father, Gohan unleashed the last bit of his energy, overtaking Cell. His screams were heard as his body began to disintegrate, flowing away with Gohan's attack, and into space.
The battle had been won, and Gohan collapsed on the ground, his hair returning to normal, and he couldn't help but laugh. He was so weak, but it felt good knowing that the Earth was safe again. The other Z fighters relaxed, knowing they could. Their shoulders slumped, and a few of them couldn't help but chuckle. It was over. The two super sayajins, still floating in the air, allowed their hair to return to normal. The female fighter began to descend, but Vegeta stayed where he was, muttering a series of curses under his breath, at both himself, and at Kakkarot.
All of the Z fighters ran over towards Gohan, where he lay on the ground. Yamcha bent down and carefully picked up the powerful young boy, and as soon as Gohan was lifted up, he fell asleep in pure exhaustion. Tien ran over and grabbed the motionless Trunks, and carefully flung him over his shoulder, before taking to the air with the rest of the Z fighters, towards Dende's tower.
The other sayajin, hesitated for a moment before walking over to where she had last seen her metallic arm, and easily found it. She was lucky, it had not been damaged any further during the battle between Cell and Gohan. Having picked up her detached limb, she turned around to see the retreating forms of the Z fighters, and took to the air after them. Piccolo was perfectly aware when she began following them, having kept close tabs on her ki. He looked behind himself, and saw her form in the distance, slowly approaching them, with her ever-present arm in her hand. They allowed her to catch up with the group, and she soon flew along side Krillen.
She looked down at her unnatural arm, before turning her head towards Krillen.
"I need this repaired. Do you know anyone who could reassemble it?" Her voice was cold, and was full of a sense of superiority, much like Vegeta. Krillen stumbled over his words for a moment, but responded.
"Uh...Dr. Briefs might be able to help you." He said nervously.
"How do I get to him?" She said, cutting straight to the chase, obviously not in the mood for a conversation.
"Well after we revive Trunks and the others, you can go with him. Dr Briefs is his grandfather." Krillen said
"Revive them? I didn't think your technology was that far advanced yet." She said, obviously a little miffed.
"Well, I wouldn't call it technology, we have these things called Dragon Balls, there's seven of them. And when you have all seven, you can summon the Eternal Dragon. The Eternal Dragon can grant one wish, but it has to be within his power. We usually only use him to bring people back from the other world, but there has been other uses for them." Krillen said, looking at the sceptical sayajin. "Dende has been modifying this set of Dragon Balls, in hopes to refresh them and allow us to grant more wishes."
"So in other words, you use magic tricks to bring back your dead." She said, a small grin of amusement played on her face. "That's the coward's way of doing things, do you think you're advancing or prolonging your own evolution by taking the easy way out? I know species who are able to revive those who have been unjustly killed, it's quite an easy procedure really." She spoke so calmly, but obviously enjoyed smashing up the human race. Krillen was just a little dumbfounded.
"So you're not from Earth?" He uncontrollably questioned.
"What gave you that hint?" She asked sarcastically, an amused smirk appearing on her face. Krillen decided not to answer that. He instead motioned towards the upcoming tower with his head.
"There, that's Dende's tower, we have to stop there to use the Dragon Balls." She merely nodded.
A few seconds later five warriors landed on the platform several thousand feet above the surface of the Earth, with the other three dead or unconscious fighters with them (A/N: quick refresh, the other three would be, a dead Trunks, Gohan, who is exhausted, and Android 18 who is unconscious. Then there are the others, Piccolo, Tien, Yamcha, Krillen, and my own character)
The small Namek, Dende rushed over to them as Yamcha gently layed Gohan on the ground. Using his healing ablities, Dende quickly repaired Gohans body, allowing him to return back to reality. Satisfied that Gohan would be alright, the small Namek stood up, and looked at the warriors, his eyes falling on the female sayajin. He carefully approached her, not sure on how she would react. She watched him to come towards her.
"Thank you." He said, voice quiet, his large eyes looking into her grey ones.
"For what?" She responded, equally as quiet.
"For all we know, you could have made the difference in who won this battle, we are eternally grateful." Dende said happily, a smile printed on his face. He paused for a moment, before continuing. "I'm afraid we don't have a name for you yet." She took a breath in consideration, as if she was not sure whether to answer him or not.
"My name is Xeexru." They all noticed how she pronounced her name, Zee-eecks-rue. She paused to see their reaction before continuing, answering the questions she knew would come. "I came here from the deceased planet of Klentubiateur. I came here in hopes that you might know where I could find Freeza. His ship made a trip here roughly three years ago." She looked around from face to face, looking for her answer. Tien was the one to answer for them.
"Freeza was destroyed when he came here, along with his father." She could tell he spoke the truth, it was written all over his face. But that did not stop the shock, and disappointment that etched over her face. But she quickly regained her composure, returning to the cold emotionless expression she had before. "Who killed him?" She asked calmly.
"Uh, well, Goku defeated him first, but Freeza survived and came here to Earth. Then Trunks here showed up, and finished him off." Krillen said meekly, motioning to the dead Trunks. She didn't say anything, she didn't have to.
The attention of the group was brought back to reality when Gohan motioned towards the Dragon Balls, eager to get his father back.
A/N: Ok,they summoned the Eternal Dragon, wished back all of those who were killed by Cell. That means everyone who was absorbed, or killed. Trunks comes back to life too. When Goku doesn't come back, they all decide to use their second wish to go to the new Planet Namek, where they can summon the other Dragon, and wish Goku back there. Goku cuts in telepathically, and tells them all that he will just put the Earth in danger again if he comes back to life, and decides to stay in the Other World. They don't really like that idea, but they didn't really have a choice. Krillen decides to use the other wish to remove the explosives in Android 18's body, much to everyone's shock. Tien leaves, Piccolo decides to live on Dende's tower, and the rest of them depart. Krillen and Gohan together, and Yamcha, Trunks, with Xeexru in tow (cause she has to get her arm fixed)
until the next chapter, adios amigos.
Alright, this chapter was revised and reposted on the 1st of March, 2005.
Please check out my artwork at of it is pretty random, but I do have some "Warrior for the fallen" inspired pieces, just some concept art based on Xeexru, Sularon and the Tomakas (you'll learn about the latter two later.)
