A/n-Thanks for waiting for Chapter nine.It's as close to chapter eight as I could manage but I had so much keeping me from the com. I needed exactly what Cell said for something in this chapter. Thanks to Moondalian for telling me and getting me back on my feet; I wouldn't have known otherwise. Here's chapter nine where, I warn you, my fighting scenes suck though I'll try to clean them up a little. Here we go now, chapter nine.
Disclaimer: Don't you have the hint by now? I don't own anything besides what's mine. DBZ ain't mine so there. However, Sakidra, Alexis, Charakka, and the rest of my OC's are mine so unless you want to be stuck in a pitch-black cave with my hungry wolves and dragons, you won't take them without asking.
Mystic Saiyan-Ch9-Brotherly Introductions and Kami's Lookout.
By the time we had arrived in South City, almost everyone else was still there. Yamcha seemed to be in bad shape but it looks like no one else had really fought yet. Yamcha and Piccolo had mentioned that they were after Goku…figures.
So I was standing there among those of us that were left facing these androids. They seemed more powerful than the others did but it was hard to say. Suddenly, they all rushed at us in an attempt to attack. The blonde one went towards me and Vegeta and started attacking me relentlessly. Vegeta immediately went Super Saiyan and tried to help out.
"Vegeta, get out of my way!" I yelled, counterattacking a barrage of the female android's attacks.
"Not a chance! She's mine!" He yelled back and tried to hit her. She willingly let him get a hit but quickly counterattacked and sent him into a building. I looked back quickly to see him getting up slowly but with every intention to go after her again.
"Dammit, Vegeta! Listen to me and stay out of this!" I yelled, dodging another set of her attacks. She tried to surprise me with a blast to the face but I caught it and sent it toward the android that Piccolo seemed to be having trouble with. I then kicked her hard in the side and forced her into a nearby building. When she managed to stand again, she dusted herself off and rushed at me again full force so I just switched to my liquid style, dodging all of her future attacks easily.
When she started to get frustrated, I could sense it easily. Her attacks were getting sloppy and it was becoming easier and easier to dodge her and she wasn't thinking clearly at all. When she finally went in for another punch, I wove my arms around hers and I used her momentum to drop her into the ground. She hit it, hard. She got up and started attacking again, like it was getting anywhere, and I switched styles, finishing her off quickly with three punches and two roundhouses that hardly anyone could see. She was launched through three buildings. When she finally got up, she flew up a bit.
"Seventeen, Sixteen, let's go!" She yelled, flying off. The two others followed her.
"We'll finish you off later." Her brother said before flying off.
"No! You're not getting away from us that easily! Get back here you idiotic excuses for scrap metal!" Vegeta shouted, preparing to follow them.
"Now, there won't be any need for that. Let's just leave them to do whatever they're going to do." I said, trying to calm Vegeta down.
"Fine! Let's just go!" Vegeta said, flying off. When no one else made any motion to fly after him, I spoke up.
"I better go calm him down or something…" I trailed, chasing after Vegeta. When I finally got there, he was aware that I was there but didn't attempt to start up any conversation.
When we reached the mountain area, I slowed and finally stopped, hovering in the air over the huge mountains. I could vaguely sense Alexis's energy and with one final look to Vegeta, who didn't seem to notice, I descended to the training Alexis.
"Alexis! How are you?" I yelled, getting his attention. He stopped and grabbed me into a hug I wasn't expecting.
"I'm sorry about this morning. I didn't really mean those things. I was just angry at what those idiots thought they could do to you. You may be half of that weak monkey race, but you're still my little sis and you're extremely powerful. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise…without a good demonstration of your abilities first." Alexis said with a laugh.
"It's okay Alexis. I may have been exaggerating a bit myself. It's just that I was so connected to the Saiyans before they were all…deceived, before my eyes no less. You know the effect that day had on me and my constant training. I'm sorry I overreacted." I told him, letting go and pulling away.
"It's okay. But you were just in a fight--I can sense it. Are you hurt?" He asked.
"Not really. They all highly underestimated me. I have to go anyway. Everyone should be home by now and I just suddenly disappeared. I don't think they would be too happy; especially with half of them knowing I'm half Saiyan." Alexis looked shocked.
"They overheard? I'm sorry for yelling so loud and making a scene like that." This was one of the reasons I loved Alexis—he always apologized if he even thought he did something wrong. Ever since I finished my official training at seven…that Alexis so harshly put me through; he's been close to me as an older brother.
"Well, I got to go. See ya later." I said and flew off toward Capsule Corp. As I walked in, everyone was crowded around the TV set. I tried looking around them but I couldn't get a clear sight at the screen. So I made my presence known.
"So, what's going on?" I asked, trying to subtly cue them to move away from the screen. They were all clueless. Only Krillin turned around.
"Cell's threatening Earth; on live TV even!" He yelled, backing off. Everyone else finally got a clue and sat down on the couch. That was an…awkward moment… I sat down and listened to the rest of the broadcast.
"Who's Cell?" I asked.
"Shhhhh!" Everyone hissed.
"Fine!" I snapped, listening.
"But the reason I am here is to announce my decision to hold a martial arts tournament. I am calling this competition the Cell Games. It's a catchy title, don't you think? The Cell Games will be held nine days from today in area S.5, 28 miles northeast from Eastern City. There you'll find an arena that I have designed myself. I modeled it after the one used in the original World's Martial Arts Tournament. I believe it is the ideal location to crush my competitors. Bring me your best fighters and I will face them one by one in a contest of strength. This is the last chance for Planet Earth. If I am not defeated, it belongs to me." The green bug-like creature said with a laugh.
"My competitors will have the advantage since I won't be able to rest between matches and my new opponents can enter the competition immediately. The rules will be the same as in the World's Martial Arts Tournament; if you surrender or your body touches the outside of the ring, you lose. And though I would try to avoid this, if you die, you'll of course be disqualified." He explains with another laugh.
"I hope I haven't frightened any of you from playing in the Cell Games. Now that you know where the competition will be held, all you have to do is find the courage to show up." He laughs yet again.
"Now watch this. Here's just a little taste of what you'll be up against." He turns around and blasts the wall behind him. "Come and get me if you dare. Now…let the games begin. The tournament starts in nine days, good luck." He then flies off laughing.
"Okay… That was strange. This guy's awfully cocky. 'I will destroy this planet if you fail to defeat me.' Sure. Whatever." I said, standing up.
"I wouldn't underestimate him. I faced off against him. He is not bluffing, Sakidra. He can and probably will destroy this planet if he's given the chance." Trunks said.
"Now Trunks, where will you go with a pessimistic attitude like that? Let yourself go for a while. Relax." I said, walking out back and leaving behind the shocked expressions of Trunks and Vegeta.
"She can be just like Kakarot sometimes." Vegeta said angrily.
I started training, using my liquid style so fast; it didn't look like I was even human. I was flowing and executing my moves perfectly with a grace that rarely existed with fighting nowadays. I stopped when I sensed Vegeta behind me.
"What is it?" I asked, turning after finishing a string of techniques with a final roundhouse that slightly forced me in the air before I stopped, facing Vegeta with my leg brought out. I lowered it and just stood there, waiting for a response from the rarely talkative prince.
"Kakarot wants us all to meet him at the lookout. You might as well come, since you're half Saiyan." He said and flew off.
"I'll be right there." I mumbled and flew off toward the mountains, meeting Alexis halfway. I stopped, seeing whom I needed to talk to.
"What is it, Sakidra?" He asked, stopping.
"I have to go somewhere for maybe a few days. I'll be back but you can come if you want. You'll have to keep out of sight though." I said, flying off and cueing him to follow.
"Sure. I'll come. Let's go. They're most likely all there by now. We should catch up." He said and sped off ahead of me. I followed using all of my stored up speed to overtake him.
We weren't even halfway there before we met Vegeta. We were racing each other like little kids would when we sped past him, not even noticing before it was too late. It was Alexis who finally alerted me to his presence.
"I should speed up and settle in before you all get there. That way I can find a good spot where I can keep track of you." He said and flew off.
"I'm not a child! Geez, Alexis, you act like you're my father!" I yelled after him, forgetting Vegeta for a moment.
"Ahem…" I heard Vegeta from behind me. I turned around to see him standing there with his arms crossed and staring at me with an arrogant expression.
"What do you want?" I asked him.
"Who was he?" He asked, all ready knowing the answer.
"He's Alexis. You've met him, though not officially. He's my older brother." Vegeta looked slightly shocked at this but quickly resumed his earlier expression.
"Brother, huh? He seemed close to you the way he was yelling through the house for you. It's funny to think of someone as young as you all ready mated to someone." (Remember Sakidra only looks 19)
"I'm older than you think. I'm older than you, three years in fact. And not that it's any of your business, but I am "mated" to someone as you so easily put it." I said, flying beside him.
"You look awfully young though." He said and stayed in silence until we got there. Suddenly I found myself in front of a huge tower.
"This is the lookout? It's huge. Why are we all here?" I asked him.
"You'll see." He said as he landed on the tower. I followed close behind and prepared for anything.
