Hello there and thanks for coming back time after time to read this. I'm so sorry that It's been a while, but with my Internet—scratch that, my whole computer down, it's been hard to update, especially when this site is blocked from the school computers… damn them…

On another Note, I must tell you all that I'm not dead yet. I know it's been three months since my last update and I'm very sorry for that but school and my "busy" summer has been biting me in the butt… Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter, though I warn you, it might be a little strange. If you thought Vegeta was out of character thus far, this might be taking it a little too far so I apologize in advance. Anyway, enjoy chapter…what is this now, 13?

Mystic Saiyan-Ch13-Speed Training and Alexis's Explanation.

"I'm sure you're faster than this, Vegeta." I said to a sitting duck. It was about three days before we had to be out of here and I decided to work a bit on Vegeta's agility. He was sure faster than I remember natural Saiyans to be, but he had room for improvement; when I decided to go close to full speed, he was no where close to catching me…

After I promptly cracked his ego by literally flying circles around him at top speeds, I finally stopped at his back, unable to be seen by him. He didn't seem to notice when I moved a little and I tapped his shoulder and he turned to see nothing though he was motioning to punch something.

"Act on your instincts before you confirm them." I said, continuously phasing in and out of focus around him, egging him on to catch me. "Even though I would think acting on your instincts was something I didn't have to teach you…" I explained after another failed attempt to catch me. I smirked at his anticipated reaction.

At my imminent insult, he became frustrated and pissed off and started attacking random spots where he believed I was, hoping I would be there so he could pound me.

"Stop hiding like a coward and fight me!" He said. "This is a total waste of my time." He turned and made to go farther away, but I phased in front of him and then quickly behind him, grabbing his outstretched hand and twisting it behind his back.

"Waste of time it may be, but you need some serious improvement in your reaction time and trusting your instincts." I pointed out.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" He asked, struggling.

"What I mean is, you think too much. Don't get me wrong, strategy wins most fights; but you think too hard. Relax a bit. You might get the result you want. Why don't you try again?" I said, letting go of his arm and quickly backing off. I phased out of his focus soon after and waited for him to get ready.

As he was standing there, I settled for a nice view of the top of his head as I reappeared above him. I started wondering when he was going to look up when I found us in that same position for over a minute. I sensed his concentration toward something, but I couldn't see what without getting into his head and revealing my location. Within seconds, he disappeared and I blocked an attempt at a punch behind me.

"You're getting better at this all ready." I said to air as he disappeared again. I couldn't sense him until I felt a giant energy behind me. I turned around, but too late.

"Big Bang Attack!" He yelled, releasing his pent-up energy he had secretly gathered while he was searching for me.

"Damn." I muttered and let my instinct take over, using my speed to avoid most of it. It still grazed my back and it hurt like hell, but I didn't show it.

"You're definitely getting better at this." I said once the whole ordeal was over with. "I may be able to teach you one more thing before you get out of here…" I explained.

Vegeta's Point of View.

No, not another one of these pointless explanations… She explained everything to me as if I knew nothing of it, which I have to admit, I didn't, but she didn't have to be so damn blunt.

Even through this, I had really no room to complain at all. These explanations had served me well as she taught me this Mimicry Blast or whatever and she had also heightened my individual skills, which I hate to admit, but I couldn't do it on my own. I also hate to admit it, but I have her to thank for putting so many tricks up my sleeve against Kakarot. I might be able to finally beat him to the ground.

Another point she had made though…had this year really gone by so fast? It didn't feel like much at all… It could either be because I wasn't bored or because I was actually facing a challenge, as much as I hate to admit it… This Sakidra girl was actually dedicated to her skills as a fighter and a Saiyan. She could easily have been a first-class warrior had she been older before the planet exploded…

"Are you even paying attention? Or do I have to slap you upside the head to wake you up?" I heard her ask through my haze of thoughts. I immediately cleared my head to avoid her gloating on catching me off guard.

"Now that I actually have your attention… Here we go. This last thing, skill, whatever you want to call it, will seriously heighten your sensing skills." She said. I listened with a bit more curiosity at what she was getting at. My sensing abilities were all ready pretty good, it wasn't like I needed any improvement in this area.

"It's a skill that's highly similar to certain animals' abilities to 'see' around them using echo-location. It's kind of like a radar sense that can prove itself useful say, if you're fighting someone that has the ability to lower their energy levels to practically nothing—like me." After she said that, she disappeared and I couldn't sense her at all. It was as if she faded into thin air and left no trace of herself anywhere around. I knew that she hadn't left completely when I felt an explosion on by back.

"What the hell was that?" I asked, still trying to sense her energy level and once again, coming up with nothing.

"I have a hunch that you'll be able to figure this out without me giving you all the details; after all, I had to figure this out on my own as well. My energy—as well as my attacks—are at an insensible level. There are many advantages as well as disadvantages here. I can still keep my original energy at its original strength and be practically invisible to anyone around, but the higher my power rises, the harder it is to keep up this spiritual invisibility. This hiding actually expends my energy faster than actually using it, believe it or not. Now try and find me." She explained, leaving the rest to me. I stood still and tried to figure out what to do when something she said earlier came to me.

…"Just Relax a bit. Trust your instincts and you'll get the result you want."…

I took her cryptic advice and let go of all control, closing my eyes and hoping this natural instinct would reveal itself.

Suddenly I felt this small amount of energy emit itself from my body in a small burst. It surrounded me, but it spread out until I could feel something to my far left. I immediately teleported over there and kicked at whatever was there. My leg came in contact with something solid and I felt myself flying at a fast speed. Opening my eyes confirmed that Sakidra had caught my leg and thrown me toward the ground. I stopped myself and looked up to see a smiling Sakidra.

"I believe you set a Saiyan record. Usually it takes them much longer because they can't understand the meaning of the words 'calm down'." She said and hovered to where I stood.

"I'm going to hit the hey, you coming?" She asked, heading toward the living area. I turned around and continued my solitary training. She easily took that as a no and I sensed her go in and fall asleep. Hours later, I followed.

Sakidra's Point of View…

I was up when Vegeta came in finally. As soon as he hit his bed, I could feel his energy dwindle to a normality that came with sleeping. His breathing was even and I found myself watching him for some reason. After my own contemplations as to how much stronger he had become, I fell asleep again.

It was the day everyone was waiting for. It was the day I got to see actual color again. It was the day that our time in the chamber ended. To tell the truth, I now hate the color white.

When we finally left the mystical time chamber, Goku—Kakarot, I really don't care what you call him—and everyone else was waiting for us. I guess they all wanted to see how much we improved. They were all shocked at Vegeta's improvement and they were all speechless at my power level. I realized that I had forgotten to lower my energy level and did so before going any further. Vegeta glanced at me curiously but then walked ahead, not seeming to care anymore.

I walked to the edge of Kami's lookout and just sat over the edge, looking over the clouds. I heard bits of stray conversation as the wind carried the words my way.

"So Vegeta, how strong are you now? Think you can beat Cell?" I heard Krillin ask.

"He's probably a lot stronger than before, I can sense it Krillin." Yamcha replied.

"Scarface has a point. And Cell will regret the day he was ever born! You all just stay out of my way!" He said. Typical Vegeta… He'll never change… I thought. He walked over to me. I didn't really pay attention to him until he spoke up.

"So what are you planning on doing now?" He asked, actually sitting beside me on the ledge.

"I really don't know. I was going to go and talk to Alexis, but I'm not really sure now. I might as well go fly for a bit." I said, simply dropping off the tower and going into a dive. After I was satisfied that he didn't follow, I used a subtle Chaos Transport and appeared right in front of Alexis, making him jump three feet into the air.

"Don't scare me like that!" He yelled, trying to walk away.

"I needed to talk to you about what happened during my training so long ago. I'm still confused as to why you acted like you did." I explained.

My thoughts traveled back to the day that I finally reached the form that every half-blood struggled to attain.

"If Saiyans are so weak, then why did my mother bother to mate with one!" I had asked that day. Alexis's only reaction was to come up and hug me as if he had never said any of the things he said.

"Oh… You have to understand, Sakidra, there were many reasons why I had to do that. One, I'll admit was for my own impatience. But the other was because that the only way to have you finish your training was to anger you beyond anything you have experienced before. I knew that every one of my comments left you with a small stream of anger flowing through you and I had to build enough of it up in order for you to be able to harness it into your own transformation. I'm sorry, but I did what I had to do." He explained.

"Thanks for doing it." I said, hugging him. "If you hadn't, I wouldn't be alive today." I told him.

"I have to go. See you later." I said, finally flying off toward the mountains to get some alone time…
