Hello folks and once again we find ourselves here, the beginning of yet another chapter. I can hope that this one can be appreciated for what it's supposed to be, the major plot turn of the story. This is my pride and joy chapter, the one I've had the most fun writing thus far and probably will be the longest I've written so far.
I'll have to thank Moony for giving me the exact details of what happened in the Cell Games in chronological order, I haven't seen every episode, so I wouldn't know. Thanks Moony! Now I can warp those points to fit my plot! Now, while this follows the exact Cell Games as closely as possible, there are major changes in the story line so that I could fit in my characters and future plots. If you don't like the way I did it, too bad, it's the only way I could've put it.
I must also tell you that I am very self-conscious about this chapter. This is the one I had to revise the most and I don't think that I wrote it too well. I was surprised at myself with the length and thuroughness of this chapter, but I still doubt the overall effect of this chapter.
I also must warn you that there are a lot of angsty scenes in this chapter because of the setting and all. There is a character death, as all of you who have seen the Cell Games know, but the dying character is not who you think it is. Read on to find out the rest! Don't flame me, because it will be recycled so it fuels Sakidra's new finishing attack! Enjoy the show folks!
Mystic Saiyan-Ch16-The Mystic Saiyan
Meanwhile, at the infamous Cell Games…"I give." Goku said as he backed away from Cell. Their fight had torn up the majority of the arena, the pristine white tiles now a dull beige with the dust and blast marks. The four tall spires surrounding the arena had decreased to two, severely damaged towers. In all, their fight had been intense before Goku backed down.
"What! You can't quit. Who will defend Earth from me if you just give up?" Cell asked arrogantly, obviously surprised by Goku's actions.
"I can't defeat you. But I know someone who can. Gohan! Come here. You're up!" Goku looked over his shoulder to Gohan who was standing next to Piccolo and the others. The spectators were scattered, watching the fight from a tall cliff overlooking the arena.
"Huh? M-me?" Gohan stuttered in disbelief.
"Goku, are you crazy? This is suicide!" Piccolo shouted.
"Suicide it is. Do you truly believe this child could defeat me if you said yourself that you couldn't?" Cell asked, laughing.
"Don't worry, Cell. I know exactly what I'm doing." Goku said as he stood near the ring.
"Damn it, Kakarot! I will not let you have all of the glory here! I'll make this bastard wish he'd never met me! Clear the way, I'm going next!" Vegeta yelled as he flew past Goku and entered the ring with Cell.
"Vegeta, you idiot! You can't beat him!" Goku yelled.
"So you say, fool!" Vegeta yelled back, transforming into his Super Saiyan form.
"This might just become an interesting fight…" Cell said as he prepared for the upcoming fight.
Back to Sakidra and Alexis…"Are you ready for this, Sakidra?" Alexis asked as he flew beside me.
"I don't know. I think Trunks once told me that Cell was supposed to be an android from the future, created from the strongest warriors here. I only hope that doesn't include me or you. The Saiyans should have a slight advantage just because of that." I said as we closed in on the arena.
"But if that includes Piccolo, he's a Namekian…" Alexis trailed. I caught the hint.
"I know, the regeneration. I only hope that they'll figure out a way past that. If Cell can regenerate himself, this might just be something of a bad thing." I replied. I suddenly felt another power spike.
"I wonder whose energy that is." Alexis thought out loud. I, however, recognized that signature.
"It's Vegeta." I said simply.
"How do you know?" He asked me.
"Simple. I trained with him for a year in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. I think I would know his specific energy signature by now." I pointed out.
"You might have a point there." Alexis said.
"But another point remains… The level of the energy spike. Vegeta has potential though he doesn't know quite how to harness it. If he doesn't harness it quick and he's fighting Cell right now… I'm a little worried about him." I thought out loud.
"You're always worried about Vegeta. You're going to make it obvious and possibly blow cover, you know." Alexis explained.
"I know, but I can't help it! I have an excellent reason to worry as well. I don't think Goku can beat Cell. I know Vegeta can't beat him. Time to end this conversation. I see Goku and the others down there. Let's land." I said, landing behind the anxious spectators. Piccolo, Yamcha, Goku and Tien turned their heads to greet us.
"Sakidra, you're here. And so are you, Alexis." Goku said. Piccolo had a questionable look on his face.
"Goku, who's he?" Piccolo asked, gesturing to my brother.
"That's right. I don't believe you two have been formerly introduced. Piccolo, this is my brother, Alexis. Alexis, this is Piccolo." I introduced. "But I believe this isn't the time for petty introductions or I'd go down and introduce myself to Cell. How long has Vegeta been fighting?" I asked, gaining a surprised look from Yamcha.
"How'd you know he was fighting?" He asked.
"I sensed his energy spike on my way over here and I assumed he was fighting. How long, Goku?" I replied.
"He's been in there about ten minutes now. I tried to get Gohan in, but he rushed in instead. You know Vegeta." He suggested, hoping I could figure out Vegeta's intentions.
"Yes. I know. Alexis, can you tell me an accurate comparison?" I asked, hoping Alexis could get a good sense of the fight.
"As it stands, Goku's right. Gohan would have a much better chance of beating Cell than Vegeta. Vegeta has the pretense of strength on his side, but it won't last much longer. As it stands now, Vegeta will be down in about ten more minutes." He replied calmly. He pulled me aside and asked: "Are you sure we won't have to get involved?"
"I'm hoping that it's the truth, but I can't make guarantees based on what you've given me. How much of a chance would Gohan have?" I asked quietly.
"Much better than Vegeta or anyone else here save his father, but…his chances are still slim. Should I go and prepare a transformation?" He asked.
"Don't. If anyone is getting involved in this fight at all, it'll be me. I still can go Super Saiyan if I need to and it takes much less time than one of your transformations. I hope I don't have to say this more than once, but I don't like our chances. Are you sure Vegeta could last ten more minutes?" I asked.
"Yes. That is, if he doesn't do anything stupid, and we all know Saiyans…" He replied.
"Yes. They're the masters of stupid decisions…" I pointed out.
"Vegeta!" I heard Goku yell. I immediately rushed to his position and looked for the fighters. They were in the sky, fighting to the literal death.
"What happened, Goku?" I asked, my voice on edge.
"Cell just landed a major blast on Vegeta, knocking him into the air. Wait a minute. What are you wearing?" He asked. Piccolo and Trunks looked at us; more specifically, me.
"I was wondering the same thing. I don't remember you ever wearing those clothes…wait. Is that a weighted outfit?" I heard Trunks ask.
"What, this?" I asked, looking down at my outfit, thinking it irrelevant at the moment. My top was violet with laced dark-blue patterns. The sleeves cut off just below the shoulders and it was all surrounded by a silver and black mini-cape that ended at my waist. The pants were the opposite, dark-blue with violet patterns, surrounded by a silver skirt that opened in the front. The skirt fell to my ankles, as did my pants. The boots were black with gray soles and around my neck was the light weight of the Chaosweaver's scarf that had belonged to my mother, the tails falling behind my shoulders and occasionally blown by the wind.
"This is my fighting outfit, in case I need to get serious. I move better in it. And yes, Trunks, it is weighted, but not the way you'd understand it. Isn't this a bit irrelevant anyway?" I asked, feeling self-conscious at their gaze. I turned back to the fight, just in time to see something that really shook my ground.
Vegeta was preparing his signature Big Bang while Cell was trying his luck with an attack that I've seen Piccolo use. I believe he called it his Special Beam Cannon… The two powerhouse attacks met in between Cell and Vegeta and a dangerous power struggle took place. I sensed that Vegeta had an idea and I had a pitted feeling in my stomach that I knew what he was planning. It wouldn't work though! He slackened the Big Bang the slightest bit and Cell's cannon pierced straight through it.
"…There are limitations to what kind of attacks you can mimic using this technique. You cannot use this on a piercing attack, which means a smaller beam… Take Piccolo's special attack for example…"
"No! Vegeta, it won't work! Don't try it here! Get away from that cannon!" I yelled, drawing the attention of everyone else, including Alexis.
"What's he trying? Why'd he slack his attack…?" He asked, thinking over the circumstances. "Did you tell him the limit?" He yelled, pulling my arm to get my attention.
"Of course I did, Alexis! Count on him not to listen to me. Vegeta, NO!" I yelled as I saw him stand perfectly still and try to focus.
"What's he doing? Sakidra…?" Goku asked.
"He's trying to use a technique I taught him, but it won't work." I said, gaping in horror as Vegeta held his hands out in attempt to catch the beam.
"Why won't it work?" Tien asked, speaking up for the first time.
"It'll pierce right through him! Vegeta, you idiot, DODGE IT!" I screamed, hoping I'd get his attention. "I will NOT have you die in false hopes!" The beam hit his hands as he tried to hold it in place and double the energy. He held it for what must've been seconds, but I knew it wouldn't last for long. Inevitably, the beam surpassed his hands and went right through him.
Time stopped.
I looked wide-eyed as Vegeta started falling, gracefully as a falling fighter could, to the ground below.
"Chaos Transport!" I screamed, instantly teleporting to the spot where Vegeta was falling and managed to catch him. I looked him over, hoping his foolishness didn't cost him his life.
My hopes weren't realized. There was a gaping hole in his chest, dangerously close to his heart. I dropped to my knees, still holding on to him as I realized that I obviously blew cover now.
"No…" I whispered to no one. "This can't be happening to me. Not again…"
"Sakidra!" I heard Alexis and Goku yell behind me. I stood silently again, watching without purpose as Alexis landed beside me. I looked Vegeta over again. His face held an expression of curiosity mixed with a dull pain. My eyesight grew blurry and I knew tears were tightening my vocal chords as well as blurring my sight.
"I lost you once before. I can't lose you again, not now…" I mumbled. Alexis held out his hands and I handed over Vegeta. "You fool… I told you not to risk it, didn't I?" I asked, angrily blinking my tears away and noticing Gohan enter the ring.
"Are you going to be okay?" I heard Alexis ask.
"I said I wouldn't interfere unless I had to, didn't I?" I asked, dimly aware that Gohan and Cell had started fighting, keeping to the ground. I heard a conversation strike up, but I couldn't make out any comprehensible words from either from them. I was slightly conscious of a flying metal object catching the sun's rays.
"Yes, you did. Let Gohan handle the rest. Vegeta isn't dead, but his life energy is dwindling. I can't help him because I risk killing him if I try. You have better control of your Saiyan side than even Goku. You might be able to lend some energy." Alexis explained, motioning to the nearly dead body in his hands. Something Goku pointed out earlier came to mind.
"The Senzu. Give him a Senzu bean, and hurry! His life depends on it!" I yelled, looking at Alexis. Alexis, in turn looked to the cliff. I followed his gaze to see seven miniature Cells beating the crap out of everyone on the cliff. One of them was holding a brown bag in his hands; the Senzu…
"I can't help them with this in my hands, get the bag, Saki!" He yelled, prompting me into action. I flew and grabbed the head of the Cell with the bag in his hands.
"Let it go or so help me I will destroy this little brain of yours right here and now!" I yelled with a cold fury. He snickered a laugh and I concentrated on the energy within my right arm.
"Very well, death it is. Chaos Blast!" I yelled, annihilating the Cell with a flick of the wrist and catching the dropped bag of beans. I flew back to Alexis and tried to force one down Vegeta's throat. It wasn't helping.
"Did he swallow it?" I asked in desperation.
"He did, Saki. I think it's too late…" Alexis trailed, feeling my gauged reaction in the process. That's when I heard that arrogant bastard's next words and a crash of scrap metal.
"Yet another life you could've saved." Cell's words echoed through my brain, bringing back memories long forgotten.
"…Why can't we go back? They need our help! We can't just leave them to be destroyed!" A childish voice of four years yelled to her mother.
"Why not? They were the ones who exiled us, Saki. Leave it alone. It's in the past now. They chose to distance themselves from us and they must live and die with that decision." She replied, ending the conversation.
"They didn't mean it! They misinterpreted what you said! Even I heard the edge in your voice, we have to go back and save them!" The girl yelled once again.
"We're not going back and that is final. Go to your quarters now." The mother said coldly, signifying that the conversation was over no matter what else the child had to say…
"I could've saved them… Had I stayed, I could've saved them all…" I muttered, catching the attention of Alexis. He looked at me curiously, noticing the waves of energy forcing themselves from Gohan as he transformed and rushed to help everyone on the cliff. He stared after Gohan for a few seconds more and then sharply looked at me, noticing that I had lost control of my usually reigned in power.
"Take these to Goku and the others, make sure they know what's going on. We have to assume Vegeta's dead now… Do not interfere. This has turned into my fight, Alexis." I said with a calm disposition, but a cold fury flaming in my eyes. I handed the Senzu beans to Alexis and turned sharply to meet Cell's gaze, which had turned to me the minute my energy started fluctuating.
"I told myself I wouldn't interfere with this fight," I started, stepping into the ruined ring as Gohan continued with the mess on the cliff. "but this has gone over the line. You have absolutely NO idea what you just did!" I yelled, letting off another energy stream that broke the earth behind me. I looked behind me to see that together, Gohan and Alexis had finished the remaining monstrosities, leaving everyone to watch our confrontation.
"Oh… Did I happen to anger the little girl?" Cell mocked as he noticed my anger. I figured he wanted to see my impending transformation.
"She wasn't kidding… She's actually going to do it…" Alexis whispered from his gazing point at the edge of the cliff.
"What are you talking about?" Piccolo asked.
"What's up with Sakidra? Did she have a little crush on Vegeta or something?" Goku asked. Everyone else within earshot visibly gagged at the thought, but Alexis maintained his demeanor.
"No, you moron! Their ties go way deeper than that…" Alexis explained, leaving everyone else to try and grasp his cryptic message.
"Wait! W-what is that? Is that coming from Sakidra?" Trunks asked, noticing along with everyone else Sakidra's dangerously spiking energy.
"Yes, unfortunately. Gohan, you might want to go back down there. Saki, while powerful in her own right, has no place in this fight." Alexis explained.
"But even at this energy, she could easily beat Cell!" Yamcha pointed out.
"Maybe so, but her anger will cloud her sight and she'll be fighting blind. There's no way she could possibly maintain a fight at this moment." Alexis explained.
"Does this have to do with Vegeta?" Piccolo asked.
"Very much so, unfortunately… I'll let her explain." Alexis answered as he turned back to my still form.
Cell was visibly anxious at the energy I was putting off, but also seemed grateful for the challenge.
"Hmmm… This might actually be a good fight." He said, observing my rising energy level.
Soon enough, I screamed. As I did, I felt the ground within twenty feet of me crumble and hover with the energy sizzling around me. Cell was hovering feet above me by now. My black hair turned a silvery-blonde color that gave it a blinding quality. My power skyrocketed to that of above Gohan's, Goku's, and Vegeta's combined. It was also a power I couldn't control properly for good reason.
Soon it was complete. I had finished the transformation that I hadn't been able to find the rage for since I was fourteen years old. I had transformed into my final form; known to all half-bloods as the Blood Fusion Form.
"W-what? W-who are you?" I heard Cell stammer as I felt the buzzing in my ears dwindle down to nothing.
"Do you really want to know?" I asked, staring up at him with a cold glare. Cell landed a few feet from me as he deemed the area safe now.
"Do you really want to find out who I really am? Do you want to know the true story of my existence? Surely you must have heard of it if you come from the future like Trunks says." I said with an oddly calm voice. I faintly heard Alexis yell from the cliff side.
"Saki! What are you doing? You don't have much time in that form as it stands! Don't stall for time, go in for the kill!" Alexis yelled.
I turned my head to see him more clearly. "You said yourself that this isn't my fight. Sit back and grab some popcorn, this is a long story that I want to get through without any interruptions." I said, turning back to Cell.
"Have you ever heard of the planet Kamorae?" I asked him, observant of the visible flinch this question gained.
"Kamorae? That's only a legend!" Cell yelled, obviously unsettled by this question for good reason.
"What is she talking about? Kamorae is only a legend, along with the people who supposedly live there." Piccolo said to Alexis.
"Just listen, Namek." Alexis told him, seeming to have taken on Vegeta's behavior for sake of the subject.
"At least you're familiar with the legend. Long ago, there was a race of very powerful people. They traveled the universe, looking for a planet of potential allies. They soon found it in a planet of warriors. These warriors were very strong in their own right, though they paled in comparison to the Mystics. The planet was Planet Vegeta. The warrior race was the infamous Saiyans." I explained. I heard a collective gasp from the cliff and knew that Alexis wasn't included. He's heard this story too many times, as have I.
"Over the years, the Saiyans and the Mystics became allies, and soon, more than allies. Though the Saiyans were a proud race, full of pride at their bloodline, there were the select few who decided that their bloodlines would be much better off if it was mixed with the Mystic bloodline, creating a new, more powerful warrior. Politics called it "Rightful Exchange", for the Mystics helped the Saiyans with their business and the Saiyans kept up their hospitality, however spread thin it might have been.
"Eventually, the two races became so close, Queen Serena of the Mystics and King Vegeta of the Saiyans started on a…closer relationship. Serena was all ready widowed with a son, his father dying in a battle with rouge Takarrans who were convinced that the late Nikolas had owed them a gambling debt.
"The two royal figures soon had a daughter, though she was a very closely guarded secret. There were rumors flying that said that the midwife was killed after the birth to prevent gossip. The only people who knew the daughter's origin were Serena, her son, and Vegeta. The happy relationship couldn't last long, however, and soon, the two leaders split up, leaving the king to have his own son, who we all know as the arrogant prince who lies close to death over there." I said, gesturing to the cliff where Goku and Trunks were still looking over Vegeta while watching my installment of "Story Time".
"Though the prince and the unknown daughter had no idea of their blood connection, they became close friends; but a vision soon changed that. The girl, four years old at the time, had a vision of the planet's destruction at the hands of a creature called Frieza. This changed everything. The queen tried to convince Vegeta that this would come true, but he didn't accept it and the Mystics were forced to leave soon after, taking the daughter of the two leaders with them. They soon found Kamorae and the girl was left as the heir to both species; the Mystics and the assumed dead Saiyans." I explained.
"Oh. I thought this was relevant. As much as I enjoyed the story, what does it have to do with anything? It's only a minor twist of the same legend." Cell pointed out.
"I'm saying the same thing." Piccolo said, impatient at where this was going.
"Let me introduce you to Queen Serena's full Mystic son, Alexis." I said, pointing to Alexis who gave a mock bow at Cell's gaze. Everyone turned their attention expectantly at Alexis.
"We all know the prince Vegeta, who lies somewhere up there." I said, once again, pointing at the downed figure near Goku and Trunks.
"Then, if I'm hearing this correctly, then that means you're the…?" Cell trailed expectantly. Goku, Trunks and Piccolo gave Alexis looks that signified that they knew the point.
"Yes. You are correct." I began.
"What is this nonsense, Kakarot?" I heard Vegeta mumble weakly. "What is she going on about?"
"I am the daughter of the two leaders; the princess of both the forgotten Saiyans and legendary Mystics. I am the only half sister of both Alexis and Vegeta. I have over twice the power of any form you can take and can kill you as easily as stepping on a bug similar to you. Any last words?" I asked, the cold fury edging its way back into my voice.
"You might actually present a challenge. Come at me if you wish, but I'm afraid the result would be the same. I will live and you will be defeated." Cell monologued.
"Cell!" I heard a voice behind Cell. I looked around to see Gohan ready to fight again. "Your fight is with me! Leave her alone!" I heard him yell. I backed off into the air as Gohan easily gained back the edge in their fight. I wasn't about to admit it, but I couldn't maintain this form much longer. I was about to fly back to Alexis when I heard a sickening smash come from the arena.
I looked back to see Cell backing away and clutching his stomach, obviously sick with something. Eventually he threw up, but not with what I had expected.
The female android that I had fought what seems now like ages ago, was the one to be launched from Cell's body. I then saw Cell visibly as well as spiritually changing as he went back to his semi-perfect state. His power level dropped dramatically and it was known that Gohan had the edge here. Gohan would win this after all…
I was about to let Gohan beat the pulp out of him when something changed. Cell was laughing. It was a grating sound, like a car running over gravel. I looked back again to see Cell growing bigger.
"If I'm going to be defeated, I'll just take this whole planet with me!" He yelled triumphantly as he grew in size. I could sense the exploding aura surrounding him and it didn't look good. Suddenly, Goku appeared in front of Cell.
"You did a good job Son. Let me handle it from here." Goku said reassuringly. I got it immediately.
"Goku! Where are you going to take him? He's a ticking time bomb! He'll blow up at any time and you'll die!" I yelled.
"I can't let Cell destroy the Earth. Good-bye everyone…" He said, transporting Cell and himself out of there.
"Dad!" Gohan cried.
"Alexis! Can you track him?" I asked quickly.
"I have his signature, but Cell is going to blow any second now!" He called back.
"I don't care! Get him back here now! I will NOT have another friend die here today! Stop wasting time and go!" I yelled, landing next to Gohan.
"Chaos Transport!" He yelled, disappearing and reappearing a second later with Goku in hand.
"Daddy?" Gohan asked with hope.
"He'll be fine, Gohan. It's over." I told him, relieved of it myself.
"I have to go… I have to tell Mother about this… She won't be happy." I heard Trunks say.
"Just be sure and tell her that we be waiting for her at the Lookout. She can summon the dragon that way." Goku replied.
"I'll take him to the Lookout and wait for you there." Piccolo said.
"Is Vegeta okay, Alexis?" I asked, not hopeful of the answer.
"I'm sorry, Saki." He answered. I knew the answer and looked to Trunks to see that he was about to leave. Goku had appeared beside me and calmed Gohan down, but I couldn't get over the feeling that this was only the beginning…
"Sakidra, watch out!" I heard a voice yell. Instantly, I felt some pile drive me to the ground. I saw a flash of light and heard a painful yell, accompanied by Gohan's screaming cries.
"Daddy!" I heard him yell. I looked up to see Goku lying on the ground, obviously in pain with a gaping hole through his right shoulder. He was lucky that the beam didn't hit anything vital, but he was still not in the safe zone yet.
"I thought this was over, but my gut feelings tend to be more right than logic itself." I said, standing and looking behind me to see Cell, back in his perfect form and still gloating about it.
"When I blew myself up, I was happy to know that not all of my brain cells had been destroyed, so I was able to regenerate. I do look better than before, don't I? This is my Super Perfect Form, I have even more power than in my Perfect form!" He said, cackling with laughter at the idea. I looked over at Goku's body to see he was still alive and that Tien had given him a Senzu bean.
I rushed, letting my anger fuel my actions as I followed through with a blitz to Cell's torso. He knocked me aside once he found my open spot and Gohan rushed in, lasting much longer, but came away with a broken arm that was practically useless.
"It's time for you all to die!" I heard him yell from my position behind Gohan. I saw him charging a blue beam that looked like the one Goku used all the time. Gohan, with some encouragement from Piccolo and his father, did the same. I could feel the power difference and I knew that Gohan was self-conscious of his arm, thinking that he alone wouldn't be enough to stop Cell. That was quite all right with me. While he needed more encouragement, I also had a score to settle and I had just the attack for it.
I flew into the air above and behind Gohan, charging my own attack that, combined with Gohan's Kamehameha, would easily be enough to take out Cell.
"Gohan, keep charging your energy! Use your emotions and channel all of your remaining energy into your arm! Only then can I help you! You have to do most of this alone, Gohan. Channel your energy and overcome this creature!" I yelled as Cell moved his two arms behind him.
"Kame…" I heard Cell chant. I could only hope that my attack would be enough after this. I saw Gohan move his solitary arm behind him and do the same thing.
"Kame…" Gohan followed. I knew my energy was rising. I took the chance and got into the stance required, both my arms pointed at the ground beside me as my legs were shoulder-width apart, even in the air.
"Phoenix…" I started. Cell's blue energy sparked within his palms as Gohan followed moments later.
"Hame…" They both chanted in unison. I was concerned with my own attack in the midst of this.
"Fire…" I chanted. I felt it before I saw the red energy flaring between my shoulder blades, forming phoenix wings that were massive. The energy in my palms sparked and ignited into red and silver spheres of energy that emitted a sense of heat. I knew Gohan could do this... He had to.
"HA!" I heard them both yell as they released their beams; they crashed into each other within moments. I crossed my forearms, palms facing outward as I completed my finishing move.
"Inferno!" I screamed as the two flaming beams shot themselves from my hands and intertwined with Gohan's blast. We were still not powerful enough to overcome Cell's blast.
"Gohan! You have to try harder! Feed more power through your arm. I can't do this alone!" I yelled, getting his attention.
"But I have no more!" He cried.
"You have plenty more! This creature almost killed your father! Follow through with your rage and transform it into energy! Use it to be rid of the one who made you angry! Do it now!" I yelled, hoping I got through to him.
'Let me handle this, Sakidra. I know how to encourage him…' I heard a voice in my head that sounded like Goku's.
'Very well. He is your son after all…' I replied telepathically. Soon enough, Gohan screamed as I felt him push the last of his energy into the blast, rendering Cell's own blast useless and annihilating him completely.
After the excitement was over, Gohan fell to the ground, out for as long as he needs. I fell to the ground as well, my knees having to rough the landing.
"Sakidra!" I heard Alexis yell as he appeared at my side.
"I'm fine. Just tell everyone to back off, all right?" I asked.
"Fine." Alexis said as he stood up. "Back off everyone! The repercussions of this will probably affect the entire area here. Just get everyone into the air and you should be fine. Far into the air, if you don't want to feel Sakidra's backblast." He said. Everyone launched themselves into the air and Alexis settled himself next to me again as he helped me stand.
"I'll try to control it this time, but I can't make promises." I said. He nodded and I looked into the air, seeing Goku concentrate on Alexis.
"Goku says he'll meet us at the lookout along with everyone else. He doesn't know you'll be asleep for that little outing." Alexis told me.
"It's unfortunate, but it must be done. You might want to back off as well. I can't promise that you'll be perfectly safe either." I pointed out.
"I know. I just want to stay with you as long as possible. Don't lose complete control over it. I'll be watching just in case." He said as he jumped into the air and backed off.
"Chaos Moonlight!" I yelled, hitting the ground with my bare palms as a black barrier appeared around. I reinforced the shielding just in case, and then transformed back to natural form, letting loose the remaining energy in my body to maintain the transformation back.
You see, in order to transform, I need to gather a huge amount of energy, more than I would actually use in a fight. The excess energy has to therefore be dispelled before I could transform back. Soon enough, it was black hair that fell around me as the barrier I had created shattered and I faded into darkness…
:.EoC.:
That was quite an accomplishment for me, folks. It took me nearly five hours to write this and it is a maximum total of twelve pages of plot goodness; my longest thus far. There are some things that I must mention before I sign off here.Come on, like I haven't given you enough hints? I figured this would be a new sort of twist on an (in my opinion) overused plot. That wasn't the case at the time I originally wrote this and I hope that it doesn't shy you away from the rest of this. The whole Vegeta's Sister thing was something I visualized years ago when I first started watching DBZ and this story is the result of that. I know that it now is considered cliché to use that idea, but it fit, didn't it?
As for the chapter, I seriously didn't think I could ever write something so angsty. I almost started crying when I wrote this, which is really rare for me and I was amazed at myself when I actually read this chapter through.
As for the rest of the story, don't think for a second that I've run out of action as a result of this. There is plenty to come in the nine chapters left and you'll soon be once again, on the edge of your seats…I hope…
As for the events that were altered, I had no choice if I was to go for the plot I was looking for, so I had to alter the events that I altered. Goku stayed alive for reasons stated in later chapters so read on and you'll see… Don't flame me… All of those will be recycled to fuel Sakidra's Phoenixfire Inferno, her new finishing technique As for now, 'till next time!
