Chapter 46

The girl had her hair done in two buns at the topsides of her head, with some blue ribbons tied around them. She wore a blue dress that hugged her chest tightly, while it was wide and loose from the waist down. The edge of her skirt just came above her knees, and over her dress, she wore a black iron mail. She had a red shield tied across her left forearm, which held a dark black griffin on it, wore blue gloves that reached her elbows, and had some black boots on and she was holding her double-sided dagger in her hand, which was drenched in dark black, dried up blood.

A violent smirk was pasted on her face, and her eyes were blood shot and set on a mixture between amusement and anger.

"What took you so long? You had me worried!" she said, with a cold, evil tone. "Worried that you might have died on the way here!"

Laze was looking at the strange girl in confusion. She could've sworn she'd seen a look like hers before.

Ancha cried out in surprise, then exclaimed: "C'est impossible!! You were suppozed zo be trépas!"

The girl laughed, cold and maniacally.

"Yeah I think that bastard from Divine Dragon Falls thought so too! Man, was he surprised to see me! Too bad I had to kill him though!" she said, a violent smirk still pasted on her face.

Elvor blinked, then suddenly realized whom the girl was talking about.

"Haelles… YOU'RE the one who killed him!!!"

Laze's gaze instantly snapped from the odd girl to Elvor, but with a lock of pure shock and horror.

"S-s-she did… wha?!" she asked, her voice seeming to waver.

Her hands were lightly shaking, but no one noticed. They were all too mad at the girl standing before them.

Bulma was literally shaking with pure fury, and her eyes sparked with a furious blaze. She recognized that voice. She recognized that face. She recognized that laugh. And she recognized those cold, heartless eyes. All too well.

"You shall never beat me, you foolish mortal!!" the machine from above her shouted with anger in Its eyes. "No mortal has ever slain a God! Not to mention Goddess!!"

The girl standing below the machine was furious beyond believe, and her rational thinking had abandoned her months ago.

"You are no God, or a Goddess!" she hissed. "You're nothing but a machine! Machines can never be Gods! Machines are pre-programmed objects without a will of their own!! And whoever created you must've been INSANE to create a monster like YOU!!!" And with that, she fired the bullet from her gun.

Bulma growled silently, clenching her fists until they were shaking. Laze was also shaking, but no one noticed the strange sparks appearing at the corners of her eyes, nor did they see her bottom lip quivering.

'W-w-why? He sa… he said… he said he woul'n't…' she thought desperately, shaking her head softly in denial.

"Who you be?! You be monster!!!" Kari screamed, angered that this girl would talk about a murder she had committed like it was nothing.

"That girl…" Elvor said and turned to Vegeta.

"That's Reena, isn't it?"

"Yes," Vegeta answered with a growl.

The girl chuckled evilly and said: "Not likely. Reena was the name of my ancestor! She was murdered when the Dragons transported Chronopolis to the past! I was lucky that my greatgrandma survived, or I wouldn't be here. I was sooooooo pissed!!"

She stomped her foot hard on the floor.

"I hate those Dragons! I HATE 'EM I HATE 'EM I HATE 'EM!!!"

Bulma clenched her hands tighter, causing blood to trickle down to the floor.

"Tha's no reason ta kill people!! How can ya be so bloody heartless!?!" Hope screamed, reaching behind her for her blades.

The girl didn't flinch, only laughed again.

"That's easy! When I reached a certain age, I came here and became a GODDESS!!!"

Everybody gasped, beside Laze, who was listening, yet not caring, and Bulma, who already knew.

"Say what?!" Asoret demanded, not believing the girl.

"Hahahaha!!! You're face-to-face with a Goddess!! And none other than the GODDESS OF FATE!!!!" she screamed. "I used the Records to control Porre, and make them attack Guardia! That was the only way I could finally control that stupid kingdom!"

At the mention of her home, Laze's gaze snapped up, disbelief written all over her face.

"That was you?!" Goku demanded.

"HAHAHA!! Who else, you numbskull!?" FATE laughed.

"Ooh! Give moi une good raeson not zo throw t'ings at you!" Ancha hissed, pretending to roll up her sleeves.

"Hah! Why should I?! I could care less about that!!"

"Uh… guys," Same called to her friends.

Everyone turned to her, as she stood at the door, looking over her shoulder at them.

"I uh… think there's somethin' in the sky tha ya gotta see," she said, pointing to the sky.

Sky blinked, and walked over, then looked up. His eyes widened in shock at what he saw.

"How the Hell did THAT get up there?!" he asked, staring at the dark red moon in shock.

"Let us leave that for later. The battle is about to start," the final Dragon said, and the other two Dragons hurriedly ran over.

Finally, Laze couldn't take anymore, and growled venomously with her teeth bared, exposing a pair of razor sharp fangs, which were slowly growing. Her sapphire blue eyes changed to a burning violet, with a furious blaze igniting them until they seemed hot enough to melt steel.

"I've had it up to here with you!!" she finally screamed. "No one, and I mean NO ONE, messes with Guardia while this bitch is alive and kicking!!! I'm going to kick your sorry ass so fucking hard, you'll be kissing the moons!!!" she hollered, then took on a battlepose.

"Hahaha!! You foolish mortal! We shall see what you can do!!" FATE laughed and seemed to melt into the ground.

"Here it comes!" Mura mumbled.

"Let's just hope they'll win," Flora whimpered.

"I'm keeping my fingers crossed for them," Terra said, keeping her crossed fingers to her lips.

Douse chewed on the inside of her cheek, hoping desperately for everything to go all right.

The ground suddenly tore open, and a giant mechanical monster came out. It was large, black, safe for the eyes, which were a burning yellow, on its back, were six shoot-like objects, and everything below the 'waist' was connected with the ground by large wires.

"Come on! Show me what it's like to be ALIVE!!!"

Bulma screamed in anger, and ran at the large computer, lashing out with her dagger, but, even for a large machine, FATE was incredibly fast. FATE's large hand lunged out, and nearly hit Bulma, hadn't she ducked under the blow.

FATE was about to lunge out again, when Ancha tossed a card at it, causing the machine to turn to Ancha. Ancha simply made a face, and ran before FATE could get her. FATE reached out, only to get its hand stabbed with a certain cavegirl's katana. Kari lashed out wildly, before she was swatted aside. It didn't really hurt her though. She just shook her head and jumped back up.

The machine suddenly cried out as Vegeta slashed at the wires attached to the back with his axe. So far so good. Until FATE lunged out at him and slapped him aside. Vegeta cried out in surprise before he hit the wall. He slid down it, before shooting up and hurling his axe at the large machine. At the same time, Asoret hurled his own weapon at FATE, powered with Elemental Energy. However, just like Sky had said, Elements didn't faze the giant computer. It just laughed at the minor blow and sent Asoret away.

Goku lunged out and tried to get through the machine's defenses, but no such luck. FATE was simply too fast.

Suddenly, something began bleeping inside the machine, and a strange voice called out: "Initiating Countdown…5…"

FATE screamed as black sparks surrounded her, before the world turned black, and black shadows spread over everything, yet not harming anything.

"Diminish??" Hope questioned. "Tha's it?!"

Bulma however, was mentally cursing in all languages she knew.

"Don't let it finish the countdown or we're history!!" she hollered.

They started to hack away at the machine, but nothing worked.

"…4…"

FATE screamed again, and this time, the gravity increased around the group of people, severely injuring them.

"Gravitonne… DAMN!!" Elvor cursed.

Grobyc grabbed his gun, jammed a cartridge in it and fired. The shot hit the machine clear in its head, making it shake its head. There wasn't much damage, just a single hole in FATE's head. Grobyc didn't give up however, and continued to fire away. FATE didn't even bother with it, but its gaze was now aimed at Grobyc. It homed in on the android, and before Grobyc knew what happened…

"…3…"

FATE screamed again as its eyes lit up. Grobyc's eyes widened in shock as he took a step back. It didn't help, as a burning laser shot at him from FATE's eyes, which shot through Grobyc's entire mid-riff, making the gang look at him in horror. For the first time since the gang had met Grobyc, they heard him scream. It was a scream filled with pain and anguish, and Laze's eyes suddenly shot wide open in shock. She recognized that voice. A furious cold suddenly raced up her spine, before burning up, and starting all over again.

When the attack stopped, Grobyc fell to the ground, choking up a strange dark red liquid. Laze told everyone to keep on fighting while she got Grobyc out of the line of fire. The others nodded, and raced toward FATE once again. Laze ran over to Grobyc, and turned him over on his back. His eyes were flickering, and small texts were scrolling across them. She bent down on her knees beside him, and looked at him.

"Chross ©?" she asked, and Grobyc lightly turned his head to her.

"Wha-KGGGG!!-did-you-KGGGG!!-call-me?" he asked, his voice crackling violently.

"Tha was yer name… before… this happened. Don't ya remember? Don't ya remember yer daughter!?" Laze demanded.

Grobyc didn't respond.

"Chross!!! Answer me!!! Wha was yer daughter's name!?"

No response.

"Damn you…" Laze hissed softly.

"…2…"

FATE screamed, and suddenly, Goku found himself catapulted into the air, making a large fall onto his back. He didn't break anything, thank the Gods.

"She's gettin' more dangerous by the number!!" Hope shouted. "We gotta take her down NOW!!!"

"………Kaichi…"

Laze's head suddenly shot up.

"What?!" she demanded.

"Her-name-KGGGG!!-was-Kaichi…"

Laze smiled. She knew it! She would never forget the voice of one of her parents' best friend!

"I knew it!!" Laze mumbled.

Suddenly, Chross groaned and said: "Warning! 65%-down-and-rising…"

Laze gasped and said: "Chross!! Ya can't do this!! Don't ya dare!!"

"75%…"

Laze shook her head.

"Chross… no…"

"…1…"

FATE screamed, and suddenly a small planet appeared out of nowhere. The planet shot straight at Hope, who found herself propelled into the sky, before she dropped on the ground.

"Ouch," Hope mumbled, rubbing her chin, having hit her chin to the floor.

The same happened to Vegeta.

"Damnit!!" he cursed, and shot back up.

"95%…Laze…"

"Huh??"

"Tell-Kaichi-I-KGGGG!!-so…r…r…"

Chross's eyes flickered once more, then turned off. Laze hung her head in a silent prayer, for a moment, forgetting the fight. Though it was only for a moment.

Her head shot up in pure fury, and she stood up, so agonizingly slow, that anyone could figure out that she was so fucking pissed off, and so burning up with rage, that all the water on the planet wasn't enough to cool her down. She clenched her hands, before ripping the headbands from her hair, making her hair spill onto her back, her eyes glowing a furious red color. The blade resting in its sheath on her hip began heating up with rage too, having witnessed everything, and Laze almost ripped the sword from its sheath as pure black and red spirals shot up around her, pure fury written over her face… and her already battered heart… shattered of pain.

"…0…"

YIKES!!! dodges pieces of rotten fruit thrown at her OK! OK!!! I'll try to hurry up!!

Reviews:

vegetasprincess: You'll see. -

samicat: Four. A normal version, an upgraded version, an evil version, and the Mastermune version. And about that She, I think you already know, unless you read these first, like Ciria does.

Ciria: Italy??? Me?? Don't think so! I'll give you a word of advice; read the last line that person said, and try to remember who had said the same thing twice before. No, that person's not Ciria. They're both the same person, yeah.

The Mad Orange: Yep. I'm from the Netherlands. Amsterdam to be precise. It's an okay place, a little overcrowded though. It's like a miniature version of NY. …… oO Am I a what fan?? And what's a Neko??

MoonlightPrincess: I'll try to hurry up.

Bulma BriefsYue Lover: Yeah well, like I said, it's mostly about the next generation. And it's Arbiter. One more thing, I once said you'd find a person from Chrono Trigger at the end of Chrono Cross. You couldn't figure it out, so I'll tell you. It's Schala.

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.]
