Chapter 34

Drip.

…………

Drip.

"Kari no like this place!" Kari whimpered, staying close to Asoret, who was still clueless as to why she kept hiding behind him.

Everyone was walking through some kind of hallway. And a steady dripping sound was heard from around them. It echoed through the empty hallway. Finally, after following the hall, they came to an elevator, and four doors on the sides.

"I guess we should try the elevator," Vegeta mumbled.

Bulma pressed the button on the side. The door opened, and Vegeta turned to the others.

"I think it's best if we separate from here. If you find a spirit, try to ask for their help, politely. Alright?"

The others nodded.

"Who's going with who?"

Bulma instantly stood by Vegeta's side. Kari looked around, then grabbed Asoret's hand, who hardly had the time to response. Ancha looked around as well, and finally just shrugged, standing up beside Elvor.

Hope snorted, and said: "I go alone."

Vegeta shrugged.

"Suit yourself," he said.

"Guess I'll go with the cyborg then," Goku mumbled, glancing from the corner of his eye to the cyborg in question, who didn't seem to care that Goku called him like that.

Vegeta nodded.

"Alright, we meet back in the entry hall in 2 hours, agree?"

A couple of nods, and Bulma and Vegeta stepped into the elevator.

The door closed behind them, and they headed up immediately. The separate groups left behind on ground floor then each took a different door, vanishing from the others' sight.

Top floor, that's where they stopped. Bulma and Vegeta walked out of the elevator, and looked around curiously. There was no sign of life in the hallway, nor was there any sign of spirits. It was extremely quiet.

"I don't like this," Bulma mumbled.

Vegeta snorted and said: "Hey, let's check the rooms, and then we're out of here!"

Bulma couldn't agree more.

They walked through the long hallway, when suddenly, they heard strange bleeping sounds.

"Hey, that sounds like a computer!" Bulma said.

The duo headed onward. Finally, they found the door where they heard the sounds coming from. The door slid open when they got close enough. When they entered, they instantly noticed the large amount of machinery in the room. However, that wasn't what had their attention.

It were the two see-through figures standing near it. There was no way of making out either their shapes or their colors. They seemed to be nothing but blue. Nothing else could be seen. One of them was fidgeting with the machine and looked up every now and then. The other simply stood behind the first, hands on his/her side, or in his/her pockets. That was a possibility. Suddenly, the first one looked up, and seemed to shake lightly.

"Oh… my… God…!!!" she said.

The first was female, which was easy by the voice.

"What is it??" the second asked, getting his hands out of his pockets.

The first lifted her hand and pointed at the monitor. The second looked too, when a sudden growl made them whirl around ----- and they vanished.

"Huh?!" the duo exclaimed.

Bulma looked at the screen, and walked closer. Vegeta walked after her. They stared up at the screen, and what was written there.

[15th of January, 9990 AD

10:45:10 AM

We have just discovered a strange microchip that might be able to change our entire future for the better. People live in fear of what is going to happen to them in the future. If we program this chip just right, it might be able to look into the future and help us to prevent our future. It might even help us with choosing our path.

Reena Yamagachi

Entry End at 10:49:20 AM]

Vegeta and Bulma were left staring at each other with wide eyes.

"Reena??" Vegeta repeated.

"Yamagachi??" Bulma finished.

Vegeta knew who Reena was, and Bulma knew where she'd heard the name 'Yamagachi' before.

I'm rather surprised, Mr. Yamagachi, that Miss Briefs has yet to dump you after the things you did to her.

Vegeta again checked the date.

"But how… this is a structure from thousands of years…" he started, then turned to Bulma.

"In the future…" they said at the same time.

Bulma hurriedly turned to the computer, and hurriedly began typing in commands.

Another entry popped up.

[31st of December, 9999 AD

11:50:00 PM

Adios amigos!

Same

Youngest Of The Black Dragon Twins

One Of The Dragon Gods Of Time

Entry End at 11:59:59 PM]

"Record Of FATE??" Vegeta mumbled. "I've heard of those. Porre used them constantly. They said those things could actually predict the future. They never objected this record before."

"Some sort of oracle actually?" Bulma asked.

"Sort of yeah. I've always wondered where it had come from. Looks like I now know," Vegeta said.

"Yeah, but how did this happen?" Bulma asked. "How could Same bring an entire building to the past? And so many years too."

"I don't know. But I know that she and the other Dragons slaughtered everyone in this place when this thing arrived."

"Sad huh?" a new voice suddenly said, and Bulma and Vegeta jumped at it.

They looked around, not knowing where the voice had come from. A whistle from above gave them their answer. Above them, on a large pipe, guitar included, sat a young looking spirit. He looked much like Elvor. He even had the scar to boot. He had an orange bandana around his neck, a white ribbon around his forehead, a pair of white jeans, brown boots, a white undershirt, with a green vest over it, and had a fiery red cape draped around his neck. His emerald eyes were half-lidded, and he smiled a small drunken smile.

"An entire structure is brought from the future to the past, where everyone inside the building gets slaughtered because they're the ones responsible for the extinction of the Dragonian race."

The boy suddenly blinked.

"I should stop doing that."

"Who are you!?" Bulma asked.

The see-through boy shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't remember. You can't imagine how long I've been in this place," he said, never stopping smiling as he pushed himself off of the pipe, and glided down like a feather.

He stopped somewhere above the ground, and lightly hovered up and down. He looked like he was but a teenager.

"What are… were you doing here?" Vegeta asked.

"Oh, my friends and I were just passing over, when we noticed this lovely sea, and we came to check it out. I vaguely remember a triangle of three pyramids, and some odd female. She aged real quickly. From a 5-year-old girl, to a middle-aged woman, to an old lady. She was odd."

"The statues," Bulma whispered to Vegeta.

"Then what?" Vegeta questioned.

"Then, there came this funny looking thing, it was like a face. It had two floating hands which were holding spears."

The Vita.

"I also remember coming here with another friend. She played lovely ocarina. She did something to this here computer, and she left after that. I staid for awhile, and then ---- BANG!!!"

That had come a little unexpected, and it made Bulma and Vegeta jump.

"Something hard hit me right in the head. And next thing I know, I'm dead. But I'm still here. Why is that? And why can I see right through myself?"

"Maybe we'll explain you later. We were wondering if you would like to help us," Bulma asked kindly.

The boy cocked his head to the side.

"Oh? With what?" he asked.

"With a friend. She's dying and all she wants, is to hear a song. We heard that you can play fairly well, and if you would like to help," Vegeta said, before Bulma could get anything out.

The boy nodded.

"I can play a little… do you want to hear a song my friends and I made?" he asked. "Well, it's not really a song, it's just music. But had we been alive, I'm sure it would've been a hit!"

The boy touched the ground with both feet, and held his guitar loosely in his hands. He first hit a few test notes, and tightened or loosened the strings. Then, he began to play, but in a strange, almost inhuman way. It was absolutely enchanting! The boy's eyes were closed lightly, though he kept on smiling. His fingers lightly hit the strings, as he continued to play.

When he stopped, he looked expectantly at the two.

"Well? What do you think?" he asked. "Would that make a nice song?"

Bulma and Vegeta looked at each other, smiled, and nodded.

Bulma turned to the boy and said: "It's perfect!! I'm sure our friend will love it!!"

The boy was overjoyed to hear that.

They agreed that the boy should wait at the entry hall, while Vegeta and the others continued to search for his friends.

"Oh, and my friend…" the boy said, turning to them. "She said something about heading down toward the computer we saw on the fourth floor. If you're lucky she's still there, messing with those computers."

He nodded at them, and glided down the elevator-shaft.

The spirit came gliding into the entry hall, and stared down at the sick child. He still smiled drunkenly, and he gazed up at the structure. The stance of the Phoenix had changed a little. It seemed as though he was supposed to hold something in the hand that wasn't holding his sword. He found a suitable place to sit, and waited for his friends to show up. He began to play on his guitar again, only a different tune. It was still a silent tune though. His eyes were closed, and he still smiled that smile of his. His friends would be there soon, and then they would join him as they sang their song for this weak child.

Besides his silent song, no other sound could be heard. Not even breathing. There were no living ones on this floor but the girl on the pedestal, whose breathing was so soft, you couldn't even hear it. The silence was interrupted as the girl began choking however. He opened his eyes, a worried expression now on his face. The girl turned her head to the side, and coughed again, blood spilling from her throat. She was radiating pain, and he frowned at it. He disliked to see people hurt.

Unless it was THEM!!!

Alright! That's spirit no. 1!! Whohoo!! And hey! I BEAT CHRONO CROSS!!! TWICE!!! WHOOOOHOOHOOHOOHOOOO!!! ALRIGHT!!!!

Reviews:

Ciria: Laze will be fine. She'll be healed around chapter 40. I can't answer your question about those two people, but reread the vision in chapter 18 and you might get an idea. And yes, Z-Vor has a very special meaning. Just wait and see! Oh, and Ciria, HOPE IS THE SHAMAN!!!

veggie-chan: Yeah! Hey, did you notice I gave Norak Guile's outfit only in black and red and without the mask? Oh, and I wrote a CC ficcie about Guile. It's about who I think he is behind the mask.

trunks babe: Give it some time.

Bulma BriefsYue Lover: You'd better!! And I finally understand why the Masamune was so bad in Chrono Cross. Somebody put Masa and Mune to sleep, causing the sword to become evil. I wonder who that was.

Renee: I noticed yeah.

Kitten: Most people will want that. But is there a different couple (or possible couple) you like?

I already told this, but if people desire for me to write a side-story about all couples [lemon style] please tell and I'll see what I can do. I'm not that good at lemons, but that's my own opinion. Also, if you know another couple you'd like to read a lemon about from this story, do tell. [Dragons are allowed as well.]
