Chapter 14

"I'll be seeing you guys in a few," Haelles said, and headed out.

The sun was rising, and Haelles was planning to head to the mainland for awhile to search for something he had left before leaving El Nido. The gang didn't mind, as he long as he showed up in time to go with them to Water Dragon Isle, or he'd be left behind.

Haelles wasn't worried; it's not like he would be gone long. As he anchored his boat on the El Nido shore near Arni, he headed toward the Divine Dragon Falls, where he had left it. He had actually hoped never to use it, but there was no way back now. He walked across the large branch, and then headed into the cave.

What he found, shocked him to no end. However, he hardly had time to respond. The figure ran at him, and within seconds, a dagger was buried in his stomach, making him choke out blood that was starting to run through his windpipe. Haelles' eyes turned to face that of the figure, but the figure's eyes were as cold as ice. The figure pulled away, and looked at him with those blood-shot eyes. He wasn't one to give up though.

He managed to punch the figure away, and he ran.

But the damage had been done, and the girl's voice rang through his head.

The Black Wind… the Black Wind begins to howl… begins to howl… One among us… among us… one among us… will shortly… shortly… will shortly… One among us…… will shortly perish……

The sun was starting to show itself, but Haelles still hadn't returned. Vegeta concluded that they couldn't wait any longer, and they left toward Water Dragon Isle. The isle was a few hours away from Guldove, so they all had time enough to either talk, or allocate some Elements.

Bulma was allocating some Red Elements to her Grid, and noticed that she now had 10 indents in the Grid, while she had started out with three. She figured that if you gained more experience in fighting, that you could use more Elements. Also, she had learned that there could also be a field effect, which made Elements stronger. If the field was completely yellow, Yellow Elements would have more effects, like what Terra had done. Without a Field Element, you had to use three Elements of the same color, and the field effect would be of that Element.

Luckily, Ancha had bought a RedField Element when they'd been in Guldove. The only downside, was that it could only be used if your Innate was the same color as the Field Element. Luckily, everyone was of a different Innate Color. Vegeta was Green, Bulma was Yellow, Ancha was Red, Goku was Blue, Elvor was White, and Haelles was Black.

'Where is that jerk?!' Bulma thought as she placed a Magmabomb Element in her Grid.

Ancha looked at the water, leaning on the wood and sitting on her knees. Her head was resting in her hands, and she was looking a little worried. She let her hands drop and looked over her shoulder to the others.

"Je suis worried about Haellez," she said.

"You shouldn't," Elvor said, looking up from polishing his rapier. "If I know him, he's causing a little trouble around the Porre Army."

Ancha giggled about that.

"You're right, moi worry too much!" she said, smiling, and looking back at the water.

Goku looked at Elvor, who was back to polishing the blade of his rapier.

"How'd you meet a guy like him anyway?" he asked.

Elvor looked up briefly, before looking at the now shining blade.

"He saved our hides at Fort Dragonia after you had volunteered to stop Porre. Besides that of…"

Elvor was cut off by Vegeta.

"Would you shut up!?"

Elvor and Goku looked up at Vegeta in shock and confusion.

"Uh… Vegeta, I'm just trying to tell Kakarot about…"

"I SAID SHUT UP!!!!" Vegeta hollered, whirling around, his eyes burning with rage.

Elvor instantly shrunk back, not daring to utter a sound.

Bulma and Ancha were now looking at Vegeta as well, shock written all over their faces. What was wrong with Vegeta?! Ancha was too scared to ask, but that didn't mean Bulma was.

"What the Hell's the matter with you?! He's just trying to tell a story!!" she demanded, standing up from where she sat.

Goku, Elvor and Ancha looked at Bulma in shock, and Ancha tried to tell the girl to shut up. Bulma didn't however, and Vegeta wasn't going to calm down any time soon.

They argued for about an hour, before Bulma ran to the other side of the ship, and Vegeta turned his back on her, both extremely angry. Goku and Elvor looked at each other, confused beyond belief. Ancha followed Bulma to the other side of the ship, and watched Bulma sitting on her own for awhile, anger showing in her eyes, but tears threatening to fall. The guys wouldn't be able to hear them on this side of the ship, and it was probably better too.

"Mademoiselle Bulma?" Ancha asked, and Bulma looked up, one tear flying from the corner of her eye to the ground.

"What?!" she demanded.

"Why do you cry?" Ancha asked.

"I am NOT crying!!" Bulma shouted, but the tears were starting to trickle down her cheeks.

Ancha was looking at the tears, and Bulma whipped them away after awhile.

Ancha sat down beside Bulma, and said: "Crying izn't zat bad. Je suis sure everyone 'as cried before."

"Yeah, everyone but that heartless bastard!" Bulma said, still angry at Vegeta.

Ancha hung her head in exasperation. When she looked up, she noticed that Bulma had wrapped her arms around her knees, looking lost and vulnerable.

"Bulma, Vegeta iz worried about Laze. Laze iz like a zister to him, and he probably wouldn't know what he would do if he lost her. Je suis sure that when Laze is 'ealed, he'll be back zo normal."

Bulma sniffed and looked at Ancha, but she was smiling.

"Really?" she asked timidly.

Ancha smiled too, and nodded.

When they heard someone clear his throat, they looked up to see Elvor looking at them.

"Hey girls," he said.

"Hi," Bulma said, and Ancha greeted him with a wave.

"Glad to see that you're feeling better, Bulma," Elvor said, and Bulma smiled. "I came here to tell you that Water Dragon Isle is getting into view."

Water Dragon Isle was known for the lovely falls there were, and for the large amount of fairies there. The fairies hardly showed themselves to humans though. The five humans made their way across the lilies to reach the other side. They were lucky that the leaves could hold their weight as they jumped across. Bulma found it a little scary at first, but it faded quickly.

After some time, they climbed up a stone ladder, which was a little slippery due to all the water pouring down it. They managed however, and entered the cave that they found there. There was a large fall in this area on a lower ledge, and it was hard to hear each other. Also, the sound droned out that of approaching enemies, forcing them to fight a lot in these caverns.

Looganates were large blue sea-monsters, but they lived on the land as well. They had large hands and feet, and a strange head. It was like they had a tail on top of their head instead of on their back, their eyes were squinted, and their mouth was incredibly huge.

Ancha continued to toss pins at the creatures as they kept trying to approach. She hit one in both eyes, and struck its throat as well, causing him to bleed to death. Bulma lashed at one of them, slashing open its chest and ripping its arms of, before searching another victim. Vegeta slashed each and every Looganate to bits that tried to approach him, not showing them any sign of compassion. Elvor blocked a Looganate's fist, then slashed it in half with an easy twirl of his hand. Goku stabbed one of the Looganates, then cut open another's throat with a quick whirl of his blade.

Once they were in the next area, they were rather tired, so they decided to take a small break. They'd been heading through cavern after cavern trying to get past the monsters, which kept attacking, no matter how hard they tried.

Bulma plopped down on the ground, breathing heavily. Elvor simply leaned against a wall, while the others found rocks to sit down on. Man, talk about battle. They'd faced more battles in one hour than they probably had in their whole lives. Vegeta didn't really bother though. He didn't realize, but it had already started. His heart was dying. Either someone had to save him, or he would either go crazy, or he'd end up killing himself.

"Man, I never knew we'd have to fight this much just to find the Water Dragon!" Elvor said, still panting.

"Speaking of which," Bulma panted, trying to catch her breath. "Where is that Water Dragon?"

Ancha was about to answer, when someone else beat her to it.

"I'm right here," a calm feminine voice said.

Everyone stood up, looking around in confusion, not finding the source of whom had spoken.

"Up here!" the same voice said, and everyone looked up, and noticed a middle-aged half-Dragon sitting on a higher ledge, swinging her feet back and forth. "Took you longer than I expected, but I guess that doesn't matter now," she said, and easily glided down.

She had blue hair that came to her waist, lovely blue eyes, wore a skirt that came to her knees with some shorts under it, and a loose tank-top. This Dragon walked on bare feet. Unlike the other Dragon's they'd already seen, this one had horns on her head. They weren't that big, but it was something you'd notice instantly. She still had the same Dragon wings though, only in blue.

"You humans look rather tired, was it because of those Looganates?" she asked calmly.

"Uh… yeah, they kept sneaking up on us," Elvor said, which earned him a glare from Vegeta.

"Well, I'm not as heartless as to fight you when you're as exhausted as you are, so, what do you say I give you… about… 15 minutes?" the Dragon offered.

"Fine," Vegeta said.

"Hey, what's your name?" Goku suddenly asked.

The Dragon smiled, and said: "Douse."

Her now ultimate black hair and eyes sparked with stars, so it seemed, and the suit she wore clung to her body, but she was alone, she knew as much as that. The large battle scar on her face, running from above her right eye to below her left, had received an extra layer of black paint, and the markings on her face looked like ink. She whipped a loose strand of hair from her face, finding it highly annoying that it wouldn't stay out of it.

Her hair reached her knees, but was done in a large ponytail atop her head. She was holding one whopper of a scythe, and had a katana strapped around her back. She heaved a sigh.

'I don't even remember how long we've been here… Damn! Those Elements are so tough! I wish I coul use me own moves again, this's making me highly frustrated!!' she thought, then released a roar.

When she calmed down, she huffed.

"Ch, wha gave tha guy the fuckin' idea tha we'd like it here anyway?!" she hissed.

"Hey, calm down already!" a familiar voice said behind her.

She rolled her eyes, and turned to him.

"Wha do ya want bushhead?! Or shoul I say, Sky?!" she asked sarcastically.

This time, Sky rolled his eyes.

"Yes, you'd better, if you don't want people starting to hate us."

"Wha's tha supposed ta mean?!" she asked angrily.

"Just behave yourself, S---"

"Oh no!! No, no, no, no, no, no! Don't ya even say it! I mean it!!" she threatened.

Sky smirked playfully.

"Same," he finished.

"WHY YOU!!!" she shouted, trying to sound angry, but not really succeeding.

Sky laughed and launched himself in the air.

"HEY!!!" Same shouted after him, as large Dragon wings shot from her back, her hands and feet became claws, and large horns protruded from her brows. "JUST WAIT 'TIL I GET ME CLAWS ON YA, BUSHHEAD!!!" she screamed, and raced after him, their laughs echoing over the mountains.

Well, thanks for liking the battle with Terra. That was honestly the longest fighting scene I'd EVER written. And… I told you that the Black Wind doesn't kid around? Looks like we've got ourselves a dead man, although most people probably thought it was Laze dying. Well, she still could, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Reviews:

Bulma BriefsYue Lover: Hmmm… I was thinking of Asoret… if you don't mind.

Hope: [smiles]

darkstranger380: Well, I will. I'm not through with this story yet.

Guitar Daughter of Piccolo: Yeah, he'll get it back, but he's going to be forced.

Guitar Daughter of Piccolo: I figured as much as that.

trunks babe: All the couples!? Well… there's… Vegeta and Bulma (figures), Goku and Chichi, Krillin and Juu, Elvor and Eneii, Norak and Rez, and uh… there was another one… DAMN!! I forgot momentarily. Slipped my mind.

Ciria: Yep, but don't worry. He'll get it back. The Rockroach didn't really have anything to do with it, but every now and then, a small piece will break. No, Elvor had a different feeling. He had a feeling that something would go wrong (and I'll tell you this, he's right!!). There's going to be far more battles like last chapter, and this story won't be finished for quite some time.

saiyankiyse: There'll be more B/V romance as the story progresses. Believe me, before this journey is over, those two will be going steady!

Alright, the next Dragon fight is coming up, meaning a change in schedule.
