Okay, second chapter of Silent Connection is underway! If only Cell would stop glaring at me for making him a fool in this story...I told you before that you're still the same person in every way!
Cell: You're one step closer to being erased...
Y.A.R.: Why do I always have to be in the crossfire of almost every character that I write about? It's not fair!
Chapter 2-Eye to Eye
He had given up.
No, not on destroying the Earth, you reviewers!
After the first day of doing nothing more but to get rid of one persistent girl, Cell had no choice but to let the girl stay where she sat. It was completely impossible, he thought, that someone of such normality could outwit him in their own death! How could a mere human avoid every tactic he used to destroy her? As soon as she wakes up, he'll force her to leave his arena and be done with anymore intrusions from her.
The sound of yawning sparked his attention as the girl was now waking up from her sleep, opening her lime-colored eyes to see the valley quite empty and turning around to see the irritated android glaring at her with arms crossed. She looked at him with curiosity in her eyes, as she stood up and dusting off the dirt on her sky blue outfit. The two finally made eye contact as the girl broke the silence between them.
"Hm? I had such a good sleep yesterday, but I wondered what was with all those flashing lights coming right at me." the girl said.
"I don't know who the hell you are, but I suggest you leave the arena this instant." Cell demanded. "It's too early for my tournament to start and you should be preparing to fight for the fate of this wretched planet."
"Hmm...Nope!" the girl proclaimed, smiling right at him.
His right eye started twitching. How dare this normal girl defy his orders to depart the arena grounds! Before Cell even got the chance to blow the girl into smithereens, she whisked herself behind him, with the bionic android still looking in the direction of where she was still standing at. What speed this girl had, to not even be fazed over the threats he made to ensure her departure was imminent. The girl spoke once more as the tension between the two became much stronger.
"Arina." the girl said, introducing herself.
"What?" Cell said, confused.
"Don't people say their names when meeting for the first time?" Arina asked. "Well, now you know my name, Cell."
"I never told you anything about who I am!" Cell shouted. "How the hell did you know?"
"My secret to know, and you to find out!" Arina sing-sung.
Cell growled under his breath. This girl, Arina as she said, was about to become nothing more than rubble the second she lets her guard down. He never told her who he was, or rather anything about him! So how could one girl know about the most terrifying android on the planet? Arina noticed the change in expressions and placed her hand on her hips.
"Oh, stop being all pouty and angry at me." Arina complained. "What makes you think that I'm telling you anything of how I know about you?"
"You got five seconds..." Cell warned.
"Aren't you a bit curious about me at all?" Arina questioned. "I mean, I appear out of nowhere at your tournament arena and you don't know anything about me. So, I guess we're even, huh?"
He was about to carry out his threat, when her words started to sink into his mind. Arina did speak some truth to his curiosity; the reality of that she appeared out of the blue in his own sights made him think of what could she possibly gain from being around him. Cell thought that if she stuck around long enough to uncover some information on this annoying girl, then he could use it to his advantage. But, what if she was like all girls who suddenly found the one they seek? The mere thought made him laugh, but it was a possibility that he'll have to try.
"My dear, you wouldn't want to get hurt, not with that beautiful face of yours becoming damaged from the awful fights that about to occur here." Cell smirked.
"...I don't know what you just said, but good luck with whomever you're using that line on!" Arina smiled, oblivious to his flirty words.
"Are you serious? Do you not know what flirting is?" Cell yelled.
"What's flirting?" Arina asked, confused.
And cue the anime fall. He could NOT believe this; the incompetent woman was incapable of noticing anything when it comes to romance! Well, scratch that theory out for him to use on her. Looks like Cell will have to come up with another way to get rid of Arina before the day of his tournament. He did not want to be labeled a softie during his competition; that was the last thing the bionic android wanted to be addressed by.
"Why exactly are you here?" Cell asked, annoyed.
"I'm here on a mission." Arina said. "And I'm not gonna give up until I complete it."
"Which is...?" Cell inquired.
"A secret!" Arina smiled.
Cell growled under his breath once more. This girl was the most difficult person he ever dealt within his existence. He never had this much trouble with anybody considering that he was too powerful to be intimidated in his plans. The sheer fact that Arina was playing games with him was starting to wear his patience thin once more. Cell already wasted almost a quarter of his powers trying to destroy her yesterday, and she managed to avoid every single tactic he used to escape her death.
Arina wanted Cell to guess of why she was here. The girl was not about to give up on the secret mission that she entrusted upon herself into completing it. Her carefree nature just wouldn't let her go anywhere, but it was also to find someone that can at least keep her in check other than her friends. However, Arina knew that she needed to loosen any ends before taking her leave for the day.
"This mission doesn't involve me, does it?" Cell asked once more.
"Actually, yeah it does." Arina said.
"Then forget it. I'm not leaving this spot until you do." Cell said.
"I have to go somewhere anyway." Arina said. "There's something I need to discuss with a friend of mine and hopefully she's not too upset about the way things are going."
"You...you're going to leave, just like that?" Cell asked, bemused at the sudden departure of his unwanted pest.
"Are you going to miss me?" Arina cooed.
"Like hell I will!" Cell shouted.
"You're a meanie... and a liar!" Arina whined. "Your curiosity says so!"
"I'm going to tear you apart right about..." Cell started.
"See ya!" Arina called, from the sky.
And with the end of the second day, Cell was swearing 24/7, wondering about the girl whom he just met. Still, something definitely felt odd about Arina's speed. NO way would a normal human have that type of speed; along with the way she dressed, particularly around the waist. What could she possibly be hiding under that white ribbon? And more importantly...who was this nameless person Arina was heading towards to talk about her mysterious mission?
'That girl is going to make me become insane if she comes back. Good riddance that she left. Now I can look forward towards my tournament without any further interruptions.' Cell thought.
Little did he know, was that Arina would come back to annoy him once more...
Next chapter is coming up soon!
R&R, people!
