It's not your fault- Angel of Misery
Wow. My fanfiction is coming to a close. So sad...worked on it for ages. I'll miss it when it ends. By the way, I said at the end of last chapter, that you'd love this chapter. Well...things have changed. This turned out different to what I had planned. It's a bit more violent and emotional. So, if you don't like that sort of thing, turn back! But...no more spoilers. I'll get on with it.
I do not own Dragon Ball Z. I only own Sariell. Oh, and her parents...or is that scientists? Ack! I said no more spoilers!

Chapter 12: Goku's Plan in Action
Goku was pacing at Kami's lookout that morning, Trunks and Piccolo watching him.
Vegeta walked out, "Kakarott, what the hell are you doing?"
"Thinking. I don't know, Trunks. This feels bad." Goku stopped pacing.
"She needs to know, Goku." Trunks shrugged.
"But something about those people seem off. But, this was my plan after all. I guess I can't back out now." Goku sighed.
"We can't let a power that strong stay with the likes of Cell, Goku. That's why we made this plan!" Piccolo reminded him.
Goku nodded and took off, heading for Cell's arena. But he couldn't shake the feeling that this wasn't going to end good.
Not good at all.
To Sariell and Cell...might clear the confusion.
Sariell yawned and wondered why she had slept standing up. She blinked; Cell's arms were around her. Oh! Right! She blushed, wanted to get out of his grip, but also wanted to stay there.
"Good morning to you too." Cell let his arms drop to his side, to Sariell's disappointment.
"Did you sleep well?" She asked, smiling.
He smirked, "Better than I have in the last few days..."
Face going, if possible, even redder, Sariell wandered over to her pile of food and ate a muesli bar for breakfast, "Hey Cell, do you eat?"
Cell crossed the ring to come closer to her and shook his head, "No. I have no need to."
She yawned again and asked, "So what's on today's plan?"
Cell shrugged, "We could train, if you want."
Sariell froze, her hand halfway to her mouth, chewed up muesli showing. Cell tsked and she shut her mouth, giggling. Remembering why she froze, she asked quickly, "Train? You want me to train? With you? Seriously?"
"That's what I said." He answered impatiently.
"Wow! Train with you!" Sariell clapped her hands gleefully but paused, "But last time, I hurt you. I don't want to hurt you again..."
"That wasn't training. That was a battle, and I was much weaker then." Cell growled, the memory of being whacked through a wall still tender.
"I'd love to!" Sariell cheered, but then stopped, "But I can't."
"Why not?" Cell frowned.
"Cause Goku's here!" Sariell looked behind Cell. he turned around and sure enough, Goku had landed.
"Stay here." Cell warned and Sariell felt touched that he cared. Or maybe, he didn't. But she was sure he did.
Cell walked over to Goku, crossed his arms and stared hard at him, "What do you want?"
"To talk to Sariell." Goku answered. Sariell approached, hiding behind Cell, "Hi Goku! How's it going? How's Trunks? Did you get a haircut?"
Goku sweat dropped, "Uh...it's going good! I suppose. Trunks is alright...and um, I washed my hair! Does that count?"
Sariell collapsed in giggles. Goku's smile turned into a frown, "There's a more important reason why I came here. Cell, can you move? That's really intimidating."
Cell grunted and moved aside, leaving Sariell unprotected.
Goku continued, "Sariell. You have to come with me."
"Why?" She asked and he sighed, "We...the thing is, we think we found...your parents."
He took a deep breath, let it out and explained, "We...the thing is, we found...your parents."
Sariell stumbled back as if she had been punched, "What?"
Goku repeated what he had said, about her parents.
"No. That can't be. I don't have parents." Sariell took a step back.
Goku shook his head, "Of course you have parents. You had to come from somewhere. But, the thing is, two people arrived in a hover car, asking for the one named Sariell. We asked them for a better description and they said 'the one who is a Saiyan.' We never said anything about Saiyans."
Sariell looked at the ground, trying to clear her head. Finally, she looked at Cell, "My parents?" She seemed to be in shock.
"He's lying." Cell spat.
Goku cried out in alarm, "Cell! I don't lie!"
Cell agreed, "Normally, that's true. You are Goku, innocent, sweet, and oh so nice. But..." Cell took a step forward, "you are lying. Or at least, you are being deceived. Whoever those people are, they are not Sariell's parents."
"But what if it is?" Sariell mused, making Cell turn to her.
"If it is? I stand corrected. But, I am not wrong. If it were your parents, you would have sensed them long before Goku. They carry an energy signal similar to yours. These people do not." Cell replied coldly.
Sariell cast out her senses and realized that Cell had a point. She looked from him to Goku. "Maybe...I don't know. But, I want to see if it is, at least." Hesitantly, she walked over to Goku.
"You go with the likes of him and you can never come back here!" Cell warned.
Sariell spun around, "What?"
"You go with Goku, you stay with Goku. Because if it turns out I was right and he was wrong, I don't want you coming back here!" Cell snapped and Sariell bit her lip, tears filming her eyes, "Cell..."
"Go! Go see your parents! They're obviously more important than me!" Cell spat and Sariell's eyes widened; that sounded like Cell really wants me to stay! Like...he'll miss me...
Sariell wanted to hug Cell. She wanted to throw her arms around him. But the thought of her parents just kept her back. "I'll have to risk that."
Cell blinked and turned around. He hadn't expected her to leave. He thought she would stay.
Sariell lifted into the air, "Cell?" He didn't answer. "Be safe." She whispered and left with Goku.
"Good riddance..." Cell muttered, but the centre of his chest hurt for some reason...
At Kami's lookout.
Sariell landed, wiping her eyes. Cell's words still stung, like a brand that wouldn't ever go away. Goku put a comforting hand on her shoulder, but she shrugged it off, "Where are they? My parents?"
Goku went inside for a moment, and came back out with two people.
Sariell yelped as her memory kicked into gear.
"Who are you people?"
"Don't worry, Sariell...we're going to help you...lie still, ok? We're just going to use this on you, it won't hurt..."
"What's that? No! Get it away! Don't!"
"Restrain her! And hurry, before her powers explode!"
Sariell looked away for a moment, trying to understand what she had witnessed. That must have been my past memory's coming up again. I wish I could remember more. But one thing's for certain...they are not my parents!
Sariell was a smart cookie, though. She knew if she tried to get away, those people would restrain her. It was what they did. But she waned answers. And she could fight her way out.
"You people are not my parents."
"Sure we are, Sariell. You just don't remember us that well." The man, who doesn't really have a name, so he's going to be referred to as David. The woman, who also doesn't really have a name and is going to be referred to as Vanessa, nodded, "We'll take you home."
Sariell started to feel nervous but was still confident, "No. You are the ones who tried to cut me up and take away my power. Aren't you?"
"Is that true?" Goku wondered, started to understand what Cell meant by being deceived.
"Of course not. She's in denial" David grabbed Sariell while Vanessa pulled out a needle.
"No, I'm not! Get your hands off me, you harvesting freaks! Where's Cell? Goku!" Sariell turned to the older Saiyan, "Get Cell! He'll help me, please! Get Cell!"
Goku tried to stop them, but a hover car floated up next to David and Vanessa and they both jumped in with Sariell.
"Goku! Get Cell!" Sariell repeated urgently, before she was gone.
"Where is that car heading?" Goku growled to Trunks.
"Medical Testing Hospital." Trunks answered, "Saw it on the side of the car! Goku, how could you not notice that?"
Goku didn't answer, just put his head in his hands.
"Goku, what have we done? They'll take Sariell's power and exploit it!" Trunks cried.
"I really thought they were her parents!" Goku said softly.
"I know, Goku. But we have to tell Cell." Trunks said soothingly.
"I thought you hated him for what he had with Sariell!" Goku said in surprise.
Trunks blushed, "Yeah, but, let's face it. Sariell loves him more than me. More than anything! Maybe Cell's starting to understand that, maybe not. But he needs to know what happened, at least."
"He told her never to come back if I was wrong about her parents." Goku remembered.
"I'm sure he didn't mean to be locked up." Trunks looked down.
"Ok. Trunks...I'm sorry. I know that you and her..." Goku trailed off and Trunks shook his head, "No, Goku. Not me and her. Her and Cell. But, I see your point. I'm not angry with you, it was a mistake! We just need to get her out."
Goku nodded and shot off as fast as he could, heading for Cell.
Sariell, meanwhile, was struggling to get free. She tried to use her Saiyan powers, but to her surprise, it wasn't working.
"Oh no, Sariell. We're ready for your powers this time." David laughed, pointing to the white bands around her wrists. "After the last time we ran into each other, we found out enough about these powers of yours to create these. Power bands. They absorb your power. But don't worry...as soon as I take the bands off, you'll have them back."
"But we don't want you to hurt us just yet, so they stay on!" Vanessa laughed.
"Please. Let me go." Sariell begged.
"We can't do that. We were paid lots of money to find you again." David shook his head.
"I don't want to go back there! You'll do more of those tests! Let me go!" Sariell struggled, but no matter what she did, she couldn't get free. She slumped and looked out at the sky; Cell...
Meanwhile...
Goku landed so hard that the ground underneath him cracked. He got up and dusted himself off.
"Oh, look who's here." Cell half turned.
"Sariell is in trouble! It's all my fault. I made a mistake..." Goku hung his head.
"Really? Well, guess what! I don't care. She gave her loyalty to you!" Cell turned around angrily.
Goku yelled, "Cell! She's been taken to a medical testing facility! The people I thought were her parents, were actually scientists. They are going to hurt her, cut her open. You need to do something!"
Cell remained silent, thinking. Goku took this as a sign to continue.
"Cell, I know you're not happy that she trusted me more than you. But where she is going, is the worst place for her. You should have seen her face, Cell. She's really scared. She wanted me to get you. She knew you wouldn't want to see her. But she could die, Cell."
"She sure trusted the right person!" Cell spat.
Goku sighed, "I did wrong, I admit. I'm so very sorry. But, Sariell loves you, Cell. Maybe you don't understand what love is. But if you saw her face when she was taken away...you know nothing of fear. Please, Cell! You must help her!"
"The enemy asks his enemy to save his enemy's friend?" Cell mused, "Alright. But you must promise me something, Goku..."
"It depends of what you ask." Goku said warily.
"I want you to promise that you and that pretty-boy Trunks, won't come near Sariell any longer! She's mine, not yours!" Cell growled.
Goku blinked in surprise; Sariell is mine, not yours? What's that all about? Is Cell finally changing, like Sariell said he would?
He nodded, "Ok. That I can do. Now will you help?"
"I'll see what I can do, but, alone." Cell rose into the air, "You will only slow me down."
Goku agreed and left Cell to his own thoughts.
He flew through the air, following Goku's instructions how to get there. A testing facility...they must be trying to make duplicates of her Saiyan power. How they do that, I do not know. But it must be mad to make Sariell afraid...
After awhile, Cell found the place and landed.
Inside the facility...
Sariell was quickly losing control of herself. David and Vanessa were surprised that she had exploded the power bands and the power she kept hidden was coming out.
"Sariell, just calm down." David said soothingly, but Sariell huddled back, various objects circling around her in a telepathic sort of way.
"Get the needle." He told Vanessa, who began preparing it.
"Don't come near me! I'm warning you!" Sariell growled.
"We just want to run some tests, Sariell. Nothing bad." Vanessa said gently.
"It is bad! You want the power for yourself. If you discover the secrets I hold, you'll make super humans!" Sariell yelled.
"We already have." David grinned.
"No!" Sariell tried to dart past them, but Vanessa grabbed her and stuck the needle in her.
"No..." Sariell repeated, and then spotted someone out the window. She ran over to it, broke it and tried to fly out, "Cell!"
Back with Cell, he looked up to see Sariell, and what looked like two humans trying to restrain her.
"Cell, I'm sorry I believed Goku, but he didn't know any better! But, please, Cell! Can you help me?" She called.
Cell looked away for a moment, as if studying something and then looked back up, "Yes. I can help you."
Sariell suddenly cried out and slumped, the two scientists pulling her back inside.
Cell felt a rush of fury; what in the world were they doing to her?
I'll help, but this will be the last time! After all, I'm the only one allowed to mistreat Sariell!
Cell walked inside and an alarm went off. Cell smashed it, but five human men came out.
"Oh please..." Cell scoffed.
The men all grinned and Cell's eyes widened as they drew their hands back, "Ka...Me..."
Cell tried to figure this out; Oh, I see...Sariell mentioned she's been here before. Obviously they used what they found to good use. This could be a problem...
"Ha..." The men continued. Cell growled, "Go ahead and try! The likes of you won't stop me from getting to Sariell!"
"Me...HA!"
---
Well, that's it. Poor Sariell...back in the hell that she was put in at young. And they used her Saiyan cells to make super humans! Will Cell survive? He's finally starting to like Sariell, isn't he? I promise, you'll see some Sariell slash Cell action at the end of the next chapter. I love the title, don't you? Read and review!
