It's not your fault- Angel of Misery
Here I am again! Sorry this took awhile; I've been in singing competitions! And I won some, yay! But anyway. Some people complained about the Super Saiyan 3 thing, and I know that was a bit out of context...but I don't know, I wanted to put a twist in it. I like it, so what's the big deal? Heh...besides, this is all setting up for my sequal too. And for those people that said Super Saiyan 3 wasn't in the Cell Saga...well, neither was Sariell. This is all my own work. I'll get on with the chapter though.
I do not own Dragon Ball Z. If I did, I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off Cell, heh.
"talking"
thinking/remembering/something significant, you know the drill.
Chapter 22: Cell's Goodbye
Cell frowned; Goku's transformation to Super Saiyan three had given him more power than Cell thought possible. Sariell, also sensing this, was struggling furiously against the Cell Juniors, "Bah! Let me go! Don't you...things...care that your dad is going to get killed?"
Cell looked at Sariell for a few seconds and then back at Goku. Goku now outpowers me. The odds are against me. I'm not going to win...Cell spoke, "Goku. I need to talk to Sariell." Goku seemed to understand what was going through Cell's mind, "Sure, take your time. Super Saiyan 3 demands too much of my power, so I'm going to go back while you do it. It wouldn't be a good idea to try and attack me in that time..." Goku's hair went back to black and so on. Cell wondered if he could dispose of Goku in that time, but it was probably a wasted effort. Who knew how fast Goku could go back to Super Saiyan 3?
Sariell blinked as Cell came over to her and the Cell Juniors let her go and backed away. "Sariell..." Cell started but was cut off when Sariell slammed a fist into his head, "Don't you dare...do that to me again! Don't you ever get your weird little children to hold me back! I swear, if it weren't for the emotional side of it, I would have destroyed them and knocked you senseless for doing such a thing!"
Cell quickly grabbed Sariell's arm before she could hit him again, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that...but, at the time, I didn't want you to interfere." Sariell blinked again; this is weird. Cell never apologizes, at least not willingly. "Cell? Is something wrong?" She frowned. Cell sighed and smiled wryly, "It's over, Sar. I've lost." Sariell paused for a moment; he called me Sar...she shook her head to clear it, "What do you mean, lost? Goku's strong now, I'll admit, but you can beat him! I know you can!"
Cell almost laughed at how positive she was being, "No, Sariell. I won't be able to beat him. That's why I'm talking to you now. To tell you how much I've enjoyed my time with you." Sariell felt a cold chill run through her, "Cell. Stop talking like that, you're scaring me." Cell smiled the most genuine smile Sariell had ever seen him smile, "I suppose I really should be thanking you. If I hadn't met you, I'd still be fuelled by anger and rage...I see now...that wouldn't have got me anywhere. I would have been destroyed a lot earlier than now." "You're not going to be destroyed!" Sariell protested. Cell didn't answer, at least not in words. What he did do, was pull Sariell into a kiss.
Due to popular demand, in this second kiss (although he didn't remember the first one), Sariell did not stand there like a stunned mullet, but returned the kiss, causing a few of the Z fighters to pretend to gag. Energy seemed to pour out of the two as it was so intense. Sariell suddenly pulled back, tears threatened to fall, "I don't want you to go." "If only I had a choice in the matter." Cell snorted. "You do! You could forfiet!" Sariell suggested. Cell shook his head, "You know as well as I do, Sariell, that the Z fighters won't let that stop them. They will kill me for the crimes I have commited." "Why can't they see what I see?" Sariell demanded angerily. Cell shrugged, "They just aren't as open minded."
Cell suddenly brought his arm up, "Sariell...you risked your life by making me learn how to love. Know that I'm grateful for that, and know that I love you and always will, even in death. But I can't let you see my death. I won't let you." Sariell's head tilted, "I love you too, Cell, but what are you talking about?" "Forgive me, but I wouldn't be able to die happy knowing that if the Z fighters let you live, you would be alive with such memories...goodbye, Sariell..." Cell sighed and whacked Sariell in the side of the head. She fell to the ground, unconsious. Cell ran a hand through her hair, wishing the moment could never end. But it had to.
Cell got up, walked back over to Goku and stared hard at him, daring him to say something. Goku just smiled, "She will live." "Thank you." Cell replied gruffly, hating to have to say the words to the enemy. Goku transformed back into Super Saiyan 3 and took his battle stance. Cell did the same; although part of me thinks that it was all such a waste...Sariell made me soft and for what...for me to be killed? Yet, the other half thinks, at least I got to MEET Sariell...such a journey it has been. If only I could have felt what she felt sooner. So much wasted time...Cell spoke, "Let's finish this."
---
Poor Sariell! Cell knocked her out so she wouldn't have to see him die. Although, she probably wanted to watch. But then again, she'd interfere, and Cell wouldn't have wanted that. Was the whole kiss thing any good? I am no good at writing romances, in my opinion. I just feel awkard writing them, heh. And, yeah, the Super Saiyan three thing...oh well. It fits. Read and review! One more chapter and then I have to get to work on a sequal!
