Hello once again folks. I just couldn't stay away for too long. Not to mention that this is an awfully short chapter with almost no point. I'm sure it would be inevitable but this is a really short chapter compared to many I have written. I'm sure that this is more up to your potential update speed and this is my second one this week—in two days—for that matter. Enjoy chapter 14!

Forget the disclaimer, you all ready know it so why even bother? I don't own DBZ and never will. That now applies to all future chapters. HA! I outsmarted all of you damn lawyers…

Mystic Saiyan-Ch14-Sibling Rivalry

When I had arrived at the mountains, the first thing I noticed was the wind. Sure, this place had the "Valley surrounded by mountains" look with the welcoming grass plain surrounded on all sides by looming mountains, but I didn't think the wind would affect the scenery that much. It was as if there was a cyclone trapped in the confines of the plain.

I hovered in what could have passed for the middle of the cyclone's onslaught, letting the wind toss my thoughts around and hope that this could be a means of forgetting them. I sensed what must have been Cell beyond the east mountains though he was really far off. I contemplated whether I should actually see the set-up he has or not. It's not like he will see me or anything… This Cell person seemed like he might be a challenge judging by his energy.

I let my thoughts wander to the others. Krillin, Yamcha and Tien—plus the smaller one always with Tien, I forget his name—must know that they don't have a small chance at defeating Cell and left it to the others. Trunks all ready fought him by the looks of it, and Goku must have talked to him shortly before Vegeta and I left the chamber. There was an underlying sense of tension in Goku's aura. No matter what, if anyone of us knows what we're in for, it'd be those two.

"You know…" I turned my head slightly to see Alexis hovering not too far behind me. "I was hoping to see how strong you really are without holding back; you know, since you've finally warmed up and all. I would think that a whole year's worth of training someone like Vegeta would let you get in touch with your former skills." He explained bluntly.

"Alexis, I'm not really in the fighting mood at the moment. I just had to do it for the majority of the year. Not to mention that I feel the presence of this Cell creature that everyone's worried about. I could see the humans overreacting but I could sense the tension in Goku. He's worried as well and that has me worried." I explained.

"How do you know Goku's even competent in the fighting arena? It's not like you've actually seen him fight yet." He pointed out.

"Vegeta's enough evidence of that. Goku is more powerful than Vegeta. Vegeta, while still delving in some aspects of the unknown with the Super Saiyan legend, is powerful in his own right. I've even fought with him once; he is awfully strong, though I really didn't analyze his strength at the time. Goku is most definitely competent in the fighting arena, Alexis." I said, turning to face him fully. "Surely you must've sensed him earlier."

"To tell the truth, I haven't taken the time to fully analyze his power level yet. I know he's strong, but I don't know how much stronger than say, Vegeta or Piccolo." He said.

"Interesting… Do you sense Cell in the distance? He's in the east, beyond the mountains…" I said.

"Yes I do, and while his power level is something to take pride in, it's still quite weak compared to some of our elites…" He trailed.

"I don't see any of our elites here, do you? We're dealing with Saiyan comparisons here. I ask you a question of mere curiosity: Do you believe Goku could beat Cell?" I asked.

"I truly do not know. Their abilities are pretty much equal in my eyes. While Goku could get stronger in the time chamber like Vegeta, there is no way he would come out alive as it stands now. Why? Do you think we might have to step in?" He asked.

"I hope not." Was my only reply…

After a long bout of silence, in which I turned to the eastern mountains again, sensing the abomination that was called Cell. I then realized the meaning of something Alexis had said earlier.

"What do you mean, I haven't been in touch with my former skills? I've been in touch with all of my skills all of my life." I pointed out.

"I doubt it highly, my sister…" He replied. I turned once again to face him.

"If it's a fight you want, I'll be happy to oblige, if that's what you're getting at." I said, pulling out the sword strapped to my back.

"Very well. Prove these skills of which you speak." He said, pulling out his blade as well.

"I'll be happy to." I said, sensing another presence, but thinking nothing of it before rushing headlong into another fight caused by our constant sibling rivalry…

Vegeta the Sneak's Point of View…

I must say I was surprised when I saw Sakidra just dive off the platform as if she had something important to do. It was a split-second decision and I knew it. Well, if she was flying around, she'd be out of my way. I decided to find her brother and ask him some questions that I wanted answered about the dreams I caught a glimpse of while we were in the chamber. I heard her say that he was staying at the base of the tower so I jumped off the Lookout and decided to scope the ground below.

When I finally found her brother, Alexis, he seemed to be looking off into the distance. When I was about to get his attention, he flew off toward the mountains as if something was really important, so I decided to follow him and ask when we got there.

When we had finally arrived at the mountainous area, he was surveying the area and I sensed Sakidra and sure enough, there she was, looking toward the east. Her hair was being blown by the excessive amount of wind and Alexis flew up to her. I heard them talking, but I couldn't make out the specific words. After about five minutes, I was about to go in there and have them acknowledge my presence, but Sakidra pulled out the sword that was strapped to her back and Alexis pulled his out soon after. I judged that this wasn't the best time to get between them and I watched as they disappeared. I knew somehow that this would be a battle I couldn't keep up with on eyes alone so I closed them and let my energy seek them out.

They were reappearing in random confrontations, striking swords wherever they met. They tried using speed to their advantage, but when they noticed that it wasn't working, they stopped the constant phasing and appeared in front of each other in a face to face blade match.

Sakidra was the first to rush. Alexis dodged to the side, but Sakidra used part of her momentum to quickly nick him in the side before he could get enough distance between them. Alexis tried to catch her shoulder with the blade, but she ducked under the sword and tried for a counter to the chest. Alexis willingly gave up partial control of the sword so it could swing around and parry her stab around him. This move left the two opponents locked in a fierce struggle for power.

The opposing blades pushed against each other, neither willing to give in until Sakidra backed off with such swiftness, I was barely able to catch the movement. As this happened, she was gathering a black energy around her blade. Alexis noticed this and followed suit with a white energy of his own.

"Crescent Moonshadow!" She yelled as she brought her blade in a horizontal slice even with her chest. A black energy trail followed her sword. Alexis finished his preparations and did a similar move, hoping to parry her attack.

"Crescent Starlight!" He yelled and blocked her blade. Their swords locked together again and the energy force that was emitted blew them both back; Alexis toward the western mountains and Sakidra further towards the northern mountains and me.

What I thought might have been a draw was far from over. As they flew back, both siblings held one arm out and prepared a beam of energy, releasing it when satisfied with the result.

"Chaos Blast!" They both yelled as their beams crashed against each other. By now their swords were long forgotten in their sheaths, all focus concentrated on the beams of violet light between them.

Suddenly, the beams bypassed each other and the siblings caught their opponent's blast in their arm, doubling the energy and throwing back.

"Mimicry Blast!" They yelled in unison as they did the same actions at the same time. The two beams collided at twice the energy as before. From where I was standing, I could see Sakidra's eyes brighten as she formulated a plan. While keeping her focus on the beam struggle between them, Sakidra gathered more energy in her free hand. This energy was a blue color that looked oddly like…

"Mimicry Combination!" They both yelled. I could now see that Alexis had the same idea. While Sakidra was gathering her energy, so was her brother.

"Dragon Buster Flame!" Alexis yelled as he released a lavender energy from his free hand that took the form of a dragon's head.

"Big Bang Attack!" Sakidra yelled as she released the energy that took her brother's beam in the onslaught and knocked Alexis into a pile of rocks at the base of the mountain. Wait a minute here! FREEZE!

The Big Bang is my attack! How does she know how to use it? How is it that she can gather that much more energy in a separate attack? What is she?

I then noticed something. Whatever she did, this version of my attack was less powerful. However she was able to do it, the Big Bang was less effective than when I used it. She must've adjusted the energy needed, but it is still MY attack! She's getting it now!

I noticed that Sakidra hovered down to where Alexis was and helped him up. "I have to get going now. I'll see ya later, okay?" She said and flew off, passing a shocked me.

Sakidra's Point of View…

I was surprised myself when I found myself able to just copy an attack like the Big Bang out of thin air like that. I was desperate for an attack that would be able to match Alexis's Dragon Buster Flame though… He caused me so much torment with that attack in our earlier years…

I passed Vegeta, who must have been in a silent fury at the moment. I turned and realized that he had watched the entire battle and he probably figured that I copied his attack… I called him and waited for him to catch up.

"How did you do that?" He asked in a fury.

"Cut the anger. It was a one time deal. I didn't know I could actually do it, okay? Sorry I sort of borrowed your attack, but that's what I do. I mimic others because I cannot think of a good finishing move for myself. Alexis has the Dragon Buster Flame, Goku's got his strange one that I can't hope to pronounce right now, and you have the Big Bang… I can't think of one that hasn't all ready been taken." I admitted reluctantly…

"That's interesting. You had that strange Mimicry Blast that you gloated over." He pointed out.

"Yeah, but that just mimic's others' attacks. It's not my own creation unless it has my style, know what I mean? It's stupid, but I can't do it…" I said.

"Hmmm…" He said. "That's interesting… That isn't really the point right now though. Let's just go back and wait for Kakarot." He said, flying ahead of me.

"Whatever you say, Prince…" I muttered before following…

:.EoC.:

Interesting, folks. It's one in the morning and I just finished this chapter. I thought it would be pretty short, but it turns out that I doubled the original size. I love manipulating my work…

It turns out, after my expert calculations, that there will be 25 total chapters to this story. We are 11 before finishing, but don't think it'll be a fast trip. I got a lot planned out for all of you faithful readers out there so stay with me and you'll find out. We haven't even gotten to the real "Dun, dun, dun" yet… Well, I can tell you that I'll have a lot of fun with the next couple chapters so bare with me... And, I assure you, the action is just getting started, so, 'till next time!
