(A/n: Okay. Chapter three is up now. Thank you all of you that reviewed, I didn't get much recognition the first time I wrote this. Here's where some action comes in at least. I hope you enjoy chapter three!)
Disclaimer: Will you people get it finally? I don't own Dbz or else I wouldn't be writing fanfics here. Sakidra, Alexis, Charakka, and the planet Kamorae are mine though so please ask before using them.
Mystic Saiyan-Ch.3-Catching Up
Once I found the communicator, I climbed out of the cramped space that was my pod and clipped the PDA-looking thing to the side of the pod by the door. I typed in some coordinates and waited for the screen to get some reaction.
"I hope to hell he's still there." I muttered to myself, hearing the slight sound that was between a hum and a ring as the screen turned a slight gray color. After what seemed like forever, the screen flashed and an image came onto the screen.
He was a man about my age. He had grayish-silver hair that fell to his ears. The rest of his hair was in a ponytail that went to about mid-back. His eyes were a soft blue that seemed to have an understanding for everything as well as a laid-back look to them. He may have looked innocent, but he was the epitome of the saying "Don't judge a book by its cover"
"What is it? I was just getting to sleep!" He groaned into the speaker.
"Shut up, Alexis." He recognized the stern voice at once and went from groggy to alert.
"Sakidra? Is that you?" He asked.
"See for yourself. Open those lazy eyes of yours and hear me out." I told him. He looked up.
"Listening." He stated.
"He intercepted me on my way to Takara." I said. Understanding immediately flooded his eyes.
"Are you okay? What happened? I knew I shouldn't have left you!" He said.
"I'll be fine. The point is, I need you down here. I'm sending you my coordinates right now." I told him. A look of shock crossed his face as he saw them.
"He knocked you that far off course?" He asked.
"I'll be expecting you in a week." I said, ignoring him.
"A week? I'm way too far away! It'll take me at least a month to get there if I'm lucky!" He yelled.
"Are you anywhere near Kamorae?" I asked him, getting an idea.
"What exactly is the definition of near?" He asked.
"Are you close enough to use Chaos Transportation?" I asked him.
"Yeah. I am. Why?"
"Go there and grab a ship. It should get you here in about a week. I'll be expecting you. I'll get a hold of Charakka and tell him you're coming. Bye." I said and broke the connection without waiting for a response. I typed in another set of coordinates and waited for someone to answer the other line.
Finally the screen flashed to show me another man about my age with ruffled brown hair with silver streaks and tips. His eyes were red with silver specks in them. He had a kind look on his face but looked slightly tired.
"Sakidra? Hi. To what do I owe this honor?" He asked me.
"I guess running Kamorae has rubbed off on you a little too much, Charakka." I told him playfully. He groaned.
"You bet. I seem to get tired a lot easier now too. When are you getting back again?" He asked.
"As soon as this idiot is out of the way, I'll be back. Until then, I can't put Kamorae in any danger. I just wanted to tell you to expect Alexis any minute now. He needs one of our faster ships. I'm expecting him in a week." I said.
"Wait. Aren't you on Takara? These coordinates don't match." He said.
"I got knocked off course because of another encounter with that freak. It's yet another reason why I can't go back to Kamorae just yet. I also believe I might have found someone I've been looking for…" I trailed off. "Well, I'll talk to you later. My new 'friends' are probably getting worried. Bye." I said, cutting off the connection. I released the communicator from the pod and walked to a secret compartment toward the back. I typed in a code and it released, revealing a sword. Sure, I hardly ever used a sword outside of my own training but it proved useful sometimes.
"I better be getting back." I said, looking at the darkening sky. I was gone longer than I had intended. I better fly most of the way. I jumped up and flew into the forest near where I came from. I landed when I got close enough and walked through the trees to the backyard, the sword wrapped in a cloth to protect it.
When I got inside, everyone looked at me with a worried expression save Vegeta and Piccolo. Did they actually care that much?
"Where were you?" Bulma asked me. Her whiny voice got on my nerves to no end. I ignored it and looked at everyone else that matched her worry. Piccolo and Vegeta were just standing there.
"I just went for a walk. I was perfectly fine, really." I said and sat down in the uncomfortable silence.
"You were gone for about five hours. It was more than a mere walk." I heard Vegeta say from the wall next to me. Five hours! I was gone that long? Here comes the suspicion.
"Next time you go somewhere like that, I'm coming with; just in case." Goku said from beside me.
"No, I was fine, really." I said, trying to get rid of the protection offer that I really didn't need.
After a few more minutes of silence, I got up and walked out the door into the backyard, sitting down next to a tree. When I was sure no one was watching, I revealed my tail and wagged it around a bit, observing it. I seriously don't see why Saiyans have these worthless tails. They only make you give in to something you have absolutely no control over. Well, I might as well get some training done since I'm bored.
I hid my tail again and got into a stance, preparing to do my usual warm-up routine. I did a stream of kicks and punches that looked very slow, yet extremely fast as well. I learned how to do this from my mother before she died and it served me well in my fighting skill. When I was done, I noticed my power level had risen while doing the routine and I lowered it immediately, looking around to see if anyone had noticed. I didn't see anyone around so I started doing various streams of techniques of my own style. I stopped when I sensed someone coming towards me.
I turned around to see Goku and Vegeta as they walked toward me.
"You fight?" Goku asked.
"What do you think?" I retorted.
"Want to spar with me?" He asked back.
"Wait a minute here! I brought you out here so we could spar! You're not getting out of it so easily, Kakarot!" Vegeta yelled.
"Oh, come on Vegeta. Sparring with you is no fun! You're too serious. I just want to see how good she is." Goku said back. "So, do you want to?"
"Uh, fine with me." I answered.
"Hn. This should be quick." Vegeta said as he walked to a tree and sat down, watching. It looks like my cover isn't blown after all… Good.
I got into a stance and so did Goku. He suddenly rushed with the first strike and I nimbly dodged with my liquid speed. He started bombarding me with punches and kicks, all of which I had either blocked or dodged completely; careful to make sure my power level didn't get out of hand.
"I thought this was sparring, not target practice. I'm not having any fun unless you actually fight back." Goku said, snapping me out of my monotonous concentration.
"Fine. I'll actually fight back this time." I said and ran at him for the first strike. He dodged and that started a flurry of punches and kicks, both of us holding our own. Some hit, while most of them were blocked. After both of us got his with a powerful punch in the jaw at the same time, we flew back. We both flipped and landed and he put his hands together and started his special technique.
"Kame…hame…HA!" He yelled and released the energy that had gathered within his palms.
"Damn." I muttered to myself. There's no way I could dodge this without showing some of my true power. As the beam came within feet of my form, I flipped over it. Just as I had expected, he controlled it so it followed after me.
"You're going to have to lose control eventually!" I yelled and continued to dodge it to the best of my ability. Finally he lost control after about ten minutes and it went crashing into the ground near where Vegeta sat watching. He didn't even flinch.
I quickly caught my breath after all the dodging and he ran after me again. I held a hand up, stopping him in his tracks.
"What is it?" He asked.
"I'm tired. Why don't we just call it a night?" I asked and with that, Goku's stomach let out a huge growl.
"Um…sure." He said and went inside. I just sat down and started meditating to calm myself down.
"I thought that would mean you as well." I heard Vegeta's voice echo through my ears.
"I just need to do a couple things first. Just give me a minute and I'll be in." I said, opening one eye slightly. He seemed satisfied by this and left.
"You're hiding something and I swear I'll find out what." He muttered, thinking I couldn't hear.
"Yes you will, Vegeta. Yes you will." I said as I stood and, with one last thoughtful look toward the moon, went inside for some well deserved food.
:.EoC.:
(A/n: There ends another chapter. What, exactly, is Sakidra hiding? Why does she want this Alexis here and who is he? All will be revealed next chapter. Well, maybe not all. Here are some endnotes.
1.Chaos Transportation is a lot like Goku's Instant Transmission. There are two differences. It has a distance limit and it also takes a lot more energy. IT is where I got the idea, but I just couldn't straight up copy it.
2.I'm not sure whether Goku was OOC or not in this chapter with offering to protect Sakidra when she went out again. I tried to make it as non-OOC as possible, but I may have failed in a couple places. Also, as much as I love Vegeta, it gets really hard not to make him OOC so I try.
Well, there's the end of chapter three. Reviews are always welcome as well as ideas though they might not always be considered. I usually have my plotlines figured out before I start on a story. Thanks for reading and wait up for chapter four!)
