Chapter 39

Bulma pressed the button for the forth floor, and the elevator began its descend. Vegeta was leaning against one of the walls, arms crossed over his chest and impatiently tapping his foot. Bulma was growing rather impatient too. She wanted to find that other spirit and get it over with.

Finally, the elevator stopped at the forth floor, and the two of them walked out. They listened for awhile, and were about to ask each other where to go, when…

ZAP!!!

Bulma shrieked in surprise, and Vegeta put one hand on his axe, ready to kill anyone who dared to near them.

ZZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPP!!!

"AYAA!!!" a feminine voice cried out.

"YOUCH!!" another voice called out.

Bulma and Vegeta looked at each other in confusion, but they headed toward the sound.

"BLOODY HELL!!! THA SMAR'S!!" a furious voice screamed out.

The duo entered a computer room, and they were a little surprised to see two spirits in the room. One of them had orange colored hair and light blue eyes. She wore some loose jeans and a tank-top. The other however, looked exactly like Laze!!

She had piercing sapphire blue eyes, the same black markings over her body and long golden hair hanging on her back. She had a diagonal scar running across her face and wore a spiked collar around her neck, and had two more around her wrists. She wore dark black army boots, some tight leather pants, a black shirt with a large tear at the front, and a smooth leather jacket over it.

"What happened?" the orange haired spirit asked.

The Laze-look-alike growled angrily.

"FUCKIN' MACHINE!!!" she screamed and gave the machine a strong kick.

Surprisingly, the machine whirled to life almost instantly. The golden haired spirit smirked wickedly.

"There!" she mumbled, clapping the dust from her hands. Suddenly, her sharp ears perked and she whirled around to face Bulma and Vegeta, who had walked into the room.

The spirit had the same highly slanted eyes as Laze, as well as the high cheekbones.

"Who the Bloody Hell are ye guys!?" the spirit demanded, making the orange haired spirit look at them as well.

"Shouldn't we be asking you the same thing?" Bulma asked.

"Ch, ye act as though I'd answer ta someun' I don't even know! I suggest ye be off now, I'm busy!!" the golden haired spirit hissed with pure venom in her voice, before turning to the computer again and ignoring them.

The orange haired spirit shook her head and said: "Sorry about that. It's just the way she is."

"Shuddap!!" the golden haired spirit screamed without turning around from the computer.

Bulma became slightly angry, and it showed. The spirit didn't seem to notice, and continued to work with the computer, looking up at the screen every now and then. The other spirit shook her head, and turned to Bulma and Vegeta.

"Anyway, why are you two here?" she asked.

"We were looking for you two," Vegeta said, seeing as Bulma was still too pissed off to answer.

"Oh? Why's that?" the orange haired spirit asked, curious by the looks of it.

"Our friend is dying, and she needs a song to heal her. Will you help us?" Vegeta asked, doing his best to stay polite.

The spirit smiled.

"Sure! We'd love t---" she began, but was abruptly cut off.

"Count me ou'," the golden haired spirit mumbled.

The orange haired spirit whirled around in shock.

"What?! What do you mean with that?!" Bulma demanded.

"Ye heard me! And I ain't gonna repeat meself!" the spirit said, as she pressed a button.

Bulma became angered, and if the spirit hadn't been dead already, Bulma would've killed her! The spirit didn't pay it any heed though; she just continued working. The orange haired spirit sighed.

"You're so stubborn!!" she said, but the other spirit didn't respond.

Bulma clenched and unclenched her fists in anger, trying her best not to do anything foolish. That's when Bulma's ears picked up the faint whistling. The same melody that that boy had been playing! The golden haired spirit whipped a lock from her eyes, and was gently whistling the tune, not seeming to bother with anything anymore.

The melody was soft, but enchanting nonetheless. It was so… not from this world.

And that's when it happened to Bulma.

The woman silently blew on the ocarina she held, producing a sound and melody like none she had ever heard. The woman's black hair waved about in the wind, her indescribable eyes closed as she leaned against a rock. In the middle of the best part, the woman noticed her and stopped, looking at her in confusion.

"Are ye alrigh'?" the woman asked.

She simply smiled.

"Yes. I'm fine. But… please don't stop."

The woman smiled and was about to bring the ocarina to her mouth when the winds shifted and the woman froze, her eyes widening immediately. She was about to ask what was wrong, when she heard it.

Screaming.

Explosions.

Cries of pain.

Their world was dying.

"Stay here!!" the woman ordered, and left her alone, and she knew, she knew, she would never see any of her friends ever again.

Bulma cried out in pain as she grasped her head. The golden haired spirit turned around and blinked at her, before returning to her work.

"Bulma! Are you alright?!" Vegeta asked.

"My head hurts!" Bulma whimpered.

"Tha's yer problem, not ours," the golden haired spirit mumbled.

Finally, Bulma had had enough, and she screamed: "You BITCH!!! How would YOU feel if you were nearly dying and your friends try their best to save you yet it doesn't work!?!?"

That had probably been the wrong thing to say, for the spirit instantly flinched visibly, and she was clenching her fists in anger. Slowly, the spirit turned around, her eyes changing from sapphire blue to blood red.

"Does it matter?! Does it matter at all?!?!?!" she demanded. "Does it MATTER!?" she hollered. "People live for a short while and finally die!! Why the Hell do people live anyway?! Just to be killed or to die later on when they're too weak to go on!? The weak always strive to be stronger!! If history is to change, LET IT CHANGE!!! If the world is to be destroyed, SO BE IT!!! If my fate is to be destroyed, then I must simply LAUGH!!!"

And she did, but a violent, maniacal laugh, before she simply vanished into thin air.

The orange haired spirit looked horrified.

"She… she never said stuff like that before…" she mumbled.

"She must be really steamed then," Vegeta said.

"Well, I'll see you guys at the entry-hall."

With that, the orange haired spirit left, and the statue of the Elf shifted as she did so.

"Kari face be hot!" Kari mumbled, holding her hands to her cheeks.

"And you think mine isn't?" Asoret said, trying his best to stop his face from flushing a light red, but it didn't help.

They continued to walk down the hallway, neither quite knowing what to say. They had finally decided to head back to the entry-hall, even though they would be 10 minutes early.

There was nothing else to do anyway.

Elvor and Ancha silently made their way through the hallway. Elvor was remarkably silent. Ancha didn't really bother with it though, she didn't even ask about it. The silence was unbearable, but none of them spoke. Elvor raked a hand through his hair, but made no sound.

Goku and Grobyc headed down the hallway, the tension that had been between long forgotten. Although they still didn't trust each other for 100%, they were willing to fight together. They marched in time, their feet hammering against the metal ground. Neither of them bothered with it though. Soon, it would all be over. Laze would be healed, and everything would go back to the way it was.

Or… so they hoped.

Hope walked back down the hallway, pondering if she should tell them about Lavos or if she shouldn't. Lavos wasn't that much fun at all. Not at all. Her mother had told her so much about Lavos, how he had completely ruined not only her mother's life, but thousands of others as well. Lavos lived just to kill, and that's it. What else was his purpose?

Oh, right. To make sure he survived somehow and sent his spawns to other planets to repeat the cycle. What kind of freak thought him up anyway? What's the use of him? Why was Lavos needed? She didn't know, but she was going to find out one way or another.

The young spirit raced through entire Chronopolis like a whirlwind, not leaving a sign she had ever been there in the first place. Anger was seeping through her veins, but she was desperately trying to get rid of it. After some time, she finally stopped. When she looked up, she noticed she was in the entry-hall. That's when she noticed the child.

The child was laying silently on the pedestal, but every now and then, she began to choke, and blood would flow down her neck. The girl was so skinny, it was scary. Her clothes seemed to be almost too big for her, but that wasn't what frightened her. She got a look of recognition on her face, because she had been in a same position, years ago, she knew.

Suddenly, a hand clasped down on her shoulder, and she looked back in the spirit's emerald green eyes. Eyes that begged her to help. She turned away from him and looked at the child again. Finally, with a reluctant sigh, she reached inside her pocket, getting out a lovely ocarina, decorated in light red and white. The side could be twisted, allowing the sound to shift if it turned.

And finally, the last statue shifted. The Dragonian female had her hand placed beside that of the other Dragonian.

"Seven," the two people said as they watched the last spirit join her friends.

They got up from their seats, the woman with pure purple hair again, while the male hadn't changed. Their bodies began to expand, and Dragon wings sprouted from their backs. The male's hair lost its spikes and began to grow and cascade down his back like a white waterfall. The female's hair got darker, until it was nearly black, and was done in a long ponytail on her back. Their muscles expanded, their feet and hands changed into scaled claws, and their tails lost their fur and became scaled as well.

"Well, I guess this is it."

"Ye're righ', this'll decide wha's gonna happen."

Well, well, well. Guess who those people were.

Reviews:

Ciria: You'll see. Hope destroyed the computer to make sure no one learned of Lavos. About Masa and Mune, it'll all be explained. Those blue-haired people have nothing to do with Bulma. Bulma has a mixture of hair between blue and green, and those people had sapphire blue hair.

seri-chan: I will, don't worry.

RisinIndeed: I'm working on it!!

samicat: I know it's confusing!

funkystars79: Keep your shirt on! I'm working on it!

pan0gwen [chap. 11]: You already said that.

pan0gwen [chap. 12]: You figure it out!

Bulma BriefsYue Lover: Probably, but at least you know who Masa and Mune are. Hey, I just beat the TimeDevourer with Draggy and Leah. You know what Leah said?! "Leah already have-um name for child. ……… Aylaaaaaaaaaa!!! New song-um of land!!"

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.]
