Storm
Added A.N: I don’t own Sugar Babe’s ‘Run for Cover’ [at least I’m
giving credit]
I looked at Yamcha and he shrugged at me. I wondered for a moment why he wore his
gi as casual wear. Usually my sensei would of yelled at me for doing something like
that. But I guess in an animated reality it was one way to tell the fighters from the
other animated characters.
“Goku’s so calm about this battle with Cell.” Yamcha remarked more to himself than
to me. He looked to the television of the crowd making hooting and hollering noises.
I grabbed the remote and flicked the channel there was a movie playing and I sighed
and flopped back defeated as they all spoke in Japanese. There wasn’t even any
subtitles. Yamcha looked at me and he got up from the ground and sat next to
me.
“Something bothering you?” He asked.
I looked at him. “I still feel so out of place here. I can’t even speak a drop of your
language well just bits and odds. But Iris she goes off and she can do this and do that
speak fluent Japanese and Chinese. Here I am still struggling with how to say
hello.”
“Moshi-moshi.” Yamcha replied.
“Huh?” I looked at him confused and he smiled at me.
“It’s hello.” He pulled me up to him and I rested my head on his shoulder and looked
at the television playing out the old samurai movie.
“Oh so that’s what that means!! I thought it was something like ‘Hey you’.” I
replied.
Yamcha chuckled. “So what Japanese do you know?”
“Oh words like nani, kami, sayonara, kagi, ichi. Ya know words I hear every now and
again but I can’t stick together to make a coherent sentence.” I replied.
“You could try but it would sound pretty odd.” Yamcha teased.
I thumped him on the arm playfully. “You just love to tease me.”
“Hey you’re easy to tease besides you take it so much better than Bulma or Chi-chi
would of.” He replied.
I nodded. “Yeah I guess I do.” I looked to the screen as the two samurai men were
leaving the place where their master had been killed.
I looked to the television as Hercule stood there with his fist in the side of the
bus.
“Now that’s just sad.” Master Roshi spoke from his seat on the floor.
“It sure is somebody could of used that bus.” Chi-chi added.
They all looked at her. Then back to the television.
There was a whole bunch of cheering for Hercule and I flopped back in the couch and
looked out the window outside I was tempted to go for a swim in the crazy weather. It
was all nice and perfect. Almost to hot to train.
“Okay This guy is giving me a head ache I’m going to hang outside.” I remarked and
stood up from the couch and I walked outside.
I watched Matariki teaching Alethea how to build a sand castle while Iris stood off on
her own staring out to the ocean. I walked up to her and she looked at me and
smiled.
“You know I just had this vision the three of us were reunited here.” Iris said and she
looked back to the ocean as it’s waves lapped up against the base of her boots.
I looked at Iris then to the ocean. Chhaya’s element.
“Does that mean you’re going to die too?” I asked.
She smiled at me and shook her head. “No silly it means Chhaya’s alive.”
I looked at her. “But she died! I got her blood on my hands.”
“She died there but she lives here. She must of chosen this for her afterlife to be here.
To help you. Like I’m contemplating of.” She said. “It’s nice here.”
I nodded. “You don’t have to stay. I mean you have your dad back in our world.”
“You thinking of going back too?” She asked I guess cause that idea came from
because I used the word ‘our’.
I nodded. “Big time. I feel so odd. How can I tell these people that the basis of my
dreams and visions are from that of a cartoon that my ex boyfriend and younger
brother got me addicted to?” I asked Iris.
She looked a me. Iris no matter what world would still be Iris- the intellectual one.
She touched the crystal round her neck and she fingered it lightly and absentmindly as
she stared out in to the ocean.
“Remember how we used to discuss the ‘Slider’s’ theory?” She asked.
I nodded. “Yeah same world, same year, everything the same but different.
Why?”
“Well I discovered something in my meditation we exist in this world out there
somewhere.” Iris pointed skyward. “To these people our powers are alien like but
weak, but yet like theirs with the ability to grow. We can manipulate our forms on this
plain. But our plain out there somewhere we can’t. Maybe with the right amount of
time and training like you went through we can take it home and teach it to others for
the use of good.” She added looking skyward.
“So you’re saying even though you and me are here on this earth, there is another one
exactly the same out there somewhere in this universe that is the alternative to this?
And that our alternatives would reign there powerless unlike us?” I asked. “It’s all to
confusing. I think you’ve been talking to Merrlyn to much. Her sci-fi witchy
alternative world theory’s are just way beyond my grasp.” I slumped down looking at
the sand and watching a lone crab scurry sideways and in to a hole in the ground.
Iris sat down next to me and she pulled me in to one of her big sister hugs and I
hugged her back. That was Iris kind, caring and the big sister I always wanted.
“Look the alternative is the reason we can’t use the dragonballs. Chhaya knows this
she wouldn’t just die without hanging round so we can’t save you again. We’re a
coven. We’re together even when we’re apart.” Iris smiled at me.
That was Iris for you our walking talking book of knowledge and at such a young age
to. Chhaya our living breathing three fold. Merrlyn not a coven member exactly but
still with her meditative states she could bring the sub consciousness to conics mind.
Myself- The only one who got a fuzzy belt as an accessory and a boost in the ability to
be able to use my ki as a defensive weapon. I had nothing on these girls not the
knowledge or the power. What could I do? How could I be part of a coven when all I
do is sprout useless movie quotes to confuse them. Was I suppose to be the clown
one. The one who knows not much but is there for their entertainment. Or was I
background girl? Forever in the background.
Iris touched my shoulder lightly like she knew what I was thinking. “We all have our
strengths. It’s just taking you longer to find yours don’t worry. It’ll come when you
think your ready.” She gave me one of her smiles they were warming and friendly.
Completely Iris. Iris the rainbow messenger Goddess to the Gods.
I looked over as Yamcha came wandering outside and he looked at me and Iris sitting
on the sand. He walked over and looked down at me. I looked up at him.
“So where abouts do you suppose your brother is?” He asked.
I looked to Iris. She looked back at me. “Probably a video game place.”
I grinned. “I like those I haven’t been to a time zone in ages.”
“You just like those shooting games where you get to shoot and kill things.” Iris
teased and I gave her a playful push she grinned at me.
“Na-uh I totally dig those basketball hoop games.” I replied.
“So he would of blown twenty dollars on video games?” Yamcha asked.
I nodded. “That or cigarettes or a movie perhaps.”
Iris took her big sisterly role seriously and I flushed as she started drilling Yamcha.
She’s got this thing. She’s been hurt so many time in a relationship that she makes
sure I don’t get hurt like she had.
“So how do you feel about these Cell games Yamcha?” Iris asked.
Yamcha shrugged. “I don’t know really.”
“So what attracted you to my little sister here?”
“Sister?” Yamcha looked at me.
Iris looked at him. “Hhhhhmmmmmm well c’mon tell tell.”
“Er! I. I. uh...” He began to stammer.
“Iris stop it. Bad you do this all the time.” I scolded her.
Iris looked at me. “Hey I’m just watching out for you. It’s my fault you ended up here
in the first place. I was only trying to help, and everything went wrong.”
I ruffled her hair. “You silly. You’re only part of the reason the full reason I’m here is
because I want to be here. The way I see it, it goes in threes. First you asking to help
me out to find my true pantheon. Me asking for the reason for the vision I had in my
mediation, and three the gods themselves. So don’t blame yourself besides to me
that’s like four? I think four years ago.”
“Four weeks for me girlie so you can see why I’m still beating myself up about it.”
Iris looked at Yamcha. “So when I go you better look after her cause if you don’t I’m
coming after you pal. Got it?”
I saw Yamcha sweatdrop and I smacked my forehead and shook my head.
“Um yeah. Sure.” Yamcha replied and he gave me a sidelong glance.
Finally the day came to fight Cell and I was running late as usual, so was Yamcha.
My fault though I had kept him up the night before. So I rummaged through my
clothes trying to find something to wear. If the shops had been open when I came out
of the time chamber, it would of been so much more easier. But they weren’t so I
couldn’t buy an outfit to fight in I was just going to have to find something though. I
let out a frustrated sigh as there was a knock at the door. I looked down at the towel I
was wearing round my waist then to the shower where Yamcha still was. I jogged to
the door and I opened it holding the towel round my chest luckily it was a big fluffy
towel and I saw Tien standing there with Chaoitsu and he blushed a bit.
“So you two aren’t ready yet?” He asked.
I smiled. “Yeah Mr. Vain is still in the shower and I can’t find anything to wear. not
that I’m trying to look good but I really don’t want to go to battle in a pair of jeans.” I
explained. I remembered Yamcha telling me we were going to fly there with
Tien.
“Well I’m sure you’ll find something.” He said.
I stepped to the side. “Anyways come in man I’ll let Yamcha know you’re here.”
Tien nodded and he came in Chaoitsu behind him and I shut the door and Tien
walked in to the lounge. he looked round. I don’t think he’d actually been inside
Yamcha’s apartment. I don’t think anyone apart from myself, Alethea and Bulma
had.
Alethea was in the play pen with her teddy bear she was making the bear walk around
her in circles on a giant air ball in a pink tutu. She squeezed the paw making it squeak
and she giggled. Chaoitsu watched her. We were to drop her and Chaoitsu off at
Master Roshi’s then head directly to the ring.
“I’ll see if he’s out of the shower yet.” I said leaving the two friends in the
lounge.
I walked in to the bathroom and looked at Yamcha as he was turning the shower off.
he looked at me. “Still found nothing eh?” He asked.
“Yeah zip zero nadda.” I replied. “Anyways Tien and Chaoitsu are here.”
“Right.” Yamcha grabbed his towel and he wrapped it round his waist. He walked in
to the bedroom and I followed. He got changed in to his gi and he opened a drawer
and he pulled out a pair of tanned colored cargo khaki three quarter shorts and handed
them to me. “These were um... a friend of mine’s.” He said blushing a bit. “They look
about your size. And I’ll lend you a shirt of mine too. It should do.” He added.
I nodded I didn’t question the female friend he had round from the style of the shorts I
guessed she was military or was in to military fashion. Yamcha then gave me an olive
green colored collar shirt. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and walked out to let me
get changed. I smiled to myself and changed in to the clothes. I pulled my hair back
and slipped on the ribbon tying my hair back.
I went out and joined the group of them and picked Alethea up and I put the bear ball
and some change of diapers in to a bag.
Yamcha looked at me. “Ready to go?”
I nodded. “As ready as I’ll ever be.”
“Lets go then.” I pulled a blanket round Alethea as we all walked to the balcony and
powered up and took off flying towards Master Roshi’s.
Once we had dropped of Alethea and Chaoitsu I flew along side with the other two
and I felt kind of worried for what was going to happen I was going to be one of the
first to go straight after android sixteen. I swallowed. I guess it was only fair after all I
hadn’t died yet but neither had Gohan. Everyone else though.
I looked down at the empty cities below. “There’s a Chinese saying Chhaya uses for
places like this.” I said smiling.
Yamcha looked at me. “What?” He asked.
“Na guo suo duo. Bu che-zi...” I chuckled and cleared my throat.
“Huh? What’s that mean?” Tien asked.
“What a country. Free cars...” I replied.
I saw Tien and Yamcha sweatdrop at that.
Well what else was I suppose to say to lighten the moment up? I mean c’mon below
us in the cities abandoned alot of people had left their cars behind with the car doors
wide open. If that wasn’t asking for people to take them then I don’t know what was.
As we flew towards the ring I was flying just a bit ahead looking round I had no idea
where this ring was I hadn’t seen the broadcasts. “Hey Lee Stop for a moment!”
I stopped flying and turned round and looked at Yamcha and flew back hoovering in
the air next to him and Tien. “Something wrong?” I asked them.
“The other’s are coming.” Tien added.
I nodded. “I suppose it’s only fair we wait for them.” I remarked.
They nodded and we looked behind us it was then I picked up the other’s approaching
power levels. Goku leading the way with Krillen, Trunks, Gohan and Piccolo at the
rear. Goku flew towards us and he stopped right in front of us.
There was serious expression on Tien Yamcha and Goku’s faces I looked from one to
the other then down at the ground. I never had really noticed how high up we were
flying and I frowned. I guess I do prefer the ground. Air isn’t my element.
“We’ll come with you but we want you to know that we’re not going to fight.” Tien
said casually to Goku.
Goku looked at me. “Sure. Lee have you changed your mind too?” He asked.
I shook my head. “No way. I wanna be part of this. Just keep the camera away from
me.” I saw Yamcha look at me. “They say it adds ten pounds.”
“I wouldn’t worry about that. Now lets go.” Goku said.
The group of us then took off following Goku’s lead. Which I was glad for, this flying
thing it’s so easy to get lost in.
I looked at my watch as we were flying and I frowned.
“Hey we’re cutting it a bit close don’t you think?” I asked.
“Don’t worry Lee. I doubt Cell would leave before we got there.” Piccolo
replied.
I nodded. “Too true.” I replied.
I looked round at the group of us. ‘Man this is going to be an entrance- at least to
normal people.’ I thought with a smirk. ‘I can sense Vegeta is already there
and Sixteen to. So we’re the last ones to arrive.’
“Goku down there.” Krillen called out. Snapping me out of my train of thought.
“Lets do it.” Goku remarked.
I looked down as the ring came in to my view. We all flew towards it and I looked at
my watch. There was still a few moments to spare. I guess this would be the first time
I break my tardiness record.
We all landed on the ground. Goku followed by Gohan, Trunks, Krillen, myself, Tien,
Yamcha, and then Piccolo. There was a great silence filled in the air.
We all looked to Cell in the center of the ring. He unfolded his arms slowly and
looked to us all. He looked extremely happy, my guess ten days was just too long.
“Welcome, welcome everyone.” Cell announced.
I saw Vegeta’s look to us. I knew right about then he was having his thought of...
’Why’d they have to come?’
I just looked back and smirked at him
and I caught the tail end of a glare at me. Oh well he didn’t get along very well with
anybody why should I be different? Apart from his arrogant boasts. I did kinda like
the guy.
“H. How it is physically possible for all of them to fly?” the reporter asked.
“I... Uh guess that trick is very popular today.” Hercule replied.
We all took note as Sixteen walked round the ring and toward us. I looked at his
serious expression. He was very impressive and I twirled the tail end of my hair round
my hair a nervous fidgeting twitch of mine I hadn’t been able to do for a few years
due to only having medium length hair. But after the time chamber it was pretty long
and I pulled the ribbon out shaking my hair lose and pulling it up in to a pony tail I
tied the ribbon round the top of it holding my hair up and out of my face.
“Android sixteen.” Krillen remarked. “Hey you’re back.” He smiled brightly.
“Yes and thank you, because of your help at last I am at last fully functional again.”
Android Sixteen looked at me and he smiled at me also but didn’t say
anything.
“Heh awww shucks. You’re welcome.” Krillen replied.
I watched as Goku walked towards Android sixteen. I looked to the ground I knew all
this stuff that was about to happen so I pulled out a packet of cigarette and a smoke, I
took my lighter out and I lit up sitting myself down on the step of the ring
casually.
“My name’s Goku.” He said and stuck his hand out in the motion of shaking it and
the whole friendship thing. Android Sixteen’s expression turned suddenly harsh.
I guess he was the only one out of us there that looked like he hated Goku. Apart from
Vegeta of course. I watched the whole thing and looked to my watch.
“I know your name. I was created solely to destroy you though I’ve chosen not
to.”
Goku looked at Krillen and leant close to him and covered his lips with hand.
“Get a load of Mr personality.” Goku whispered.
I leant back in the step and looked upward to the sky. ‘Are you really out there
somewhere Chhaya? Like Iris thinks? If so why haven’t I sensed you yet?’ I
thought to myself.
“Ladies and gentlemen I’m not sure what to make of all these new comers I must say
though it’s very intriguing.” the reporter announced in his very annoying ring like
voice. I looked over and behind me at him standing in the ring with his
cameraman.
“Hey don’t forget about me.” Hercule interrupted.
I took a drag of my cigarette and flicked the ash off it to the side. Well there were no
ashtrays so I had to make do. I knew these games were going to be a while.
Goku stepped forward. “Okay then...” he cracked his knuckles and I looked over to
him like everybody else did. “Lets get this thing going, and if you want I’ll be
first.”
‘Well that was predictable.’ I thought.
“Uuuuhhhh Goku you don’t have to be the first one to fight.” Trunks spoke up.
Goku looked to Vegeta. “Well what do you say? Vegeta?”
“Be my guest. We all know it will be me who ends up finishing off Cell.” Vegeta
replied with such confidence and arrogance that ya gotta love the guy for it.
“So does that mean you want to go last?” I teased.
Vegeta glared at me with his ‘shut-up-girl-or-I’ll-blast-you’ look. the one I had come
to know and love from my time spent at Capsule Corp being ‘annoying’ to him.
“Huh? What? HEY DON’T YOU KNOW I’M THE CHAMP AROUND HERE?!?”
Hercule exploded. He looked really pissed off.
I took another drag of the cigarette and looked behind me as the reporter and his
camera man came wandering up to us.
“Um excuse me sir? But I was just wondering if you or your friends are going to take
part in the tournament?” He asked with such meekness it was pathetic.
Goku smiled friendly at him. “Of course. I’ll be going first.” Goku replied.
Hercule stormed up to Goku pushing the reporter aside like a rag dog, he was strong
but definitely not strong enough I mean c’mon of all the humans Krillen or Yamcha
could whup him good.
“I’ve had about enough of you clowns! And your stupid jokes. Now clear out of
here before I get angry!” Hercule shouted at us.
I looked at Krillen and his face faltered. I kept my back to Hercule last thing I needed
was for him to remember me from those years ago as the one who blew him off and
thought he was a wrestler and that his games were rigged.
“Hey don’t blow a vein you greaseball.” Krillen remarked.
“Huh?” Hercule blinked and he looked at Krillen surprised obviously that Krillen
could speak to him in a such a monotone voice. He then began to laugh pretty much
insanely at us.
“Oh boy here comes the egotistical boast of ‘ooooh I can smash rocks with my bare
hands’.” I drooled.
Yamcha walked up to me and I looked up at him and smiled. “Lee don’t make him
more made this is delaying time as it is.” He said and took my hand and helped me
up.
I smiled at him. “But watch it’s funny.” I grinned.
Yamcha nodded. “I’m sure it is.” He lead me away from the side of the ring and I
stood next to him smoking my cigarette casually.
Hercule looked at us and I stayed out of his sight kind of between Yamcha and Tien
just in case he did remember me.
“I’m sorry- I forgot, you ignorant hicks have spent so much time playing basil in the
woods. You don’t realise that I- HERCULE AM THE MARTIAL ARTS CHAMPION
OF THE WORLD!!” He boasted.
The group of them looked at Hercule like he was a moron in which he was.
I frowned. “He brings a bad name to the god of that name.” I muttered.
Yamcha looked at me and he smiled and gave me a desecrate nudge.
“Lee.” He whispered.
I smiled brightly up at him. “You know I just noticed I’m a very short person. I’m
only taller than Krillen and Gohan.” I grinned.
“And the other challengers have been left totally speechless... by the one and only
martial arts champion of the-” The reporter then fell off his step. “Aaaaah!
Oowww!”
I took a drag of my cigarette and looked to the reporter he looked up and I think it
was the first time I think he noticed me as in a female on the battle ground.
“Okay seeing as you don’t know who I am. I’ll show you.” Hercule announced and he
jumped off the ring and landed on the ground.
“That reporter’s looking at you Lee.” Tien said.
I looked back at him to see him staring at me. “Unbelieveable they brought a woman
to the scene of a battle.” He remarked from his fallen over position on the step.
Hercule totally ignored him and pushed up to the front and went to the reporter’s aid
and helped him up.
“You okay?” I asked.
He blinked and looked at me. “Are you another reporter? Because I’m sure of Z tv
was covering this fight alone?” He asked.
I smiled. “Oh no I’m not. I’m flattered you asked cause well I was thinking of it for a
career. But seriously I’m a fighter.” I explained.
I dropped the cigarette to the ground and put it out with the heel of my boot.
“Well I guess Cell didn’t put a restriction on who could fight.” He rubbed the back of
his neck and we looked over to where Hercule was doing his boasting of
‘strength’.
He grabbed this tiny looking bolder and he pulled it out of the ground to revel a
bolder about his arm’s length and he held it above it his and smashed it over his
head.
“Wow that’s got to kill a few brain cells.” I remarked.
“Now who rules?” Hercule asked.
The reporter seemed obviously amazed by this feat of strength normally I would be
to- back in my own world...
“Champion of all martial arts in the world. It’s Hercule! Hercule rules, Hercule rules,
Hercule rules, Hercule... rules?” He looked at the guys. “They aren’t buying it
at all.”
Hercule stood there all confidante and I shrugged and walked past him back to where
the others where standing.
“Hey don’t worry where I come from there a ton of people like that. It’s normal. I like
the stretchy man he’s cool.” I grinned.
Yamcha looked at me. “Stretchy man?”
“Yeah they all feature on this show called Guiness book of world records. Based off
the book of world records where people perform publicly to prove they can do weird
stuff and national tv. Don’t ask me I just go ‘typical Americans’.” I explained.
“Oh... I see.” Yamcha nodded and looked at me. “Your world sounds strange.”
“Hey my favorite was the human magnets. Where this dude could stick a cold iron to
his chest and it just stuck there.” I grinned.
Yamcha stuck his hand over my mouth. “Enough Lee. That’s too weird.”
Krillen then looked to Goku. “I say we let the neander fall nerd ball go first.”
“You think we should?” Goku asked Krillen with a questionable look.
“It’s time.” Cell interrupted causing everyone to look at him.
The reporter jogged up to me and I looked at him. “So you’re not here to support
Hercule either then?”
I shook my head. “No way I think he should be at home with his daughter.” I
replied.
“What?!” Hercule turned on me and Yamcha stood in his way on his arrogant stalk up
to me. “Just who do you think you are girl?” he snapped.
I stuck my head out from behind Yamcha.
“Yamcha it’s okay. We’ve meet before.” I said.
Yamcha looked at me. “Okay.” he looked at Hercule. “Touch her and I don’t care
who you are you’re dead meat.” He remarked.
“Aaaawwww that’s so sweet but you know I am stronger than you.” I grinned.
Hercule looked at me. I smiled and grinned at him. “You know me Mr World
strongest. We’ve meet before.”
He scoffed and looked at me. he squinted his eyes trying to think on it.
“Hmmm.”
“Here let me remind you... ‘I don’t really follow wrestling used to until I found
out it was rigged...’ Oh and your daughter I remember her going something like
‘Dad she shot you down’.”
Hercule looked at me and he blinked. “YOU!”
I waved my hand about. “Now off you Mr World Strongest the world needs saving.”
He glared at me and stalked off and up to the stage.
Yamcha looked at me. “He hit on you?” He asked.
I nodded. “Yeah. He got insulted that I thought he was a wrestler.”
Yamcha smiled. “When was this?”
“That time I.... uh....” I looked at Goku. “was doing shopping for Goku.” I
finished.
Goku looked at me. “Oh wow that’s a while ago.”
“Well after this Hercule and his cronies will realise that they should of stayed at
home.” I remarked.
When yous, get me down
Then I, get turned around
I tend to, cut myself off
From things, I shouldn’t run from
I stood there watching Hercule standing in the ring with such confidence.
We all stood by the ring ready for this match. I had trained myself for this match.
Though I doubt I would get a chance as my vision showed me.
“Who will be the first to challenge?” Cell asked looking over to Goku.
If that wasn’t a big hint I don’t know what was.
Hercule stepped forward, hands on his hips.
“You’re looking at him. Lets get it on.” Hercule announced.
Goku went to step forward. Krillen looked at Goku.
“There’s no use in trying to stop him Goku. He just won’t listen.” Krillen said.
“I’ve gotta try.” Goku then looked to the ring. “Listen Mr. Hercule if you’re going to
fight Cell you’re going to get killed.” He said seriously.
I looked at Yamcha. “That was pretty blunt.”
“Well he’s got a point.” Yamcha replied.
“You know what I need? Malteasers.” I remarked.
Yamcha looked at me and he smiled. “I believe that’s what you said about Trunks and
Frieza’s battle.”
“Yeah except this time I don’t have any gum.” I looked at Yamcha had things really
come this far. This was almost like a full circle feeling to it.
Hercule stopped undoing his cape and he looked at Goku. He chuckled.
The reporter looked to his cameraman. “Okay Lionel get a close up of the guy with
the big hair...”
I sat down on the ground. “Losers fight first.” I murmured and I knew this was the big
scene where it would flick to that cat guy the leader of the royal military and his flash
back of little Goku from the Dragonball series in which I hadn’t any knowledge
of.
It doesn’t really matter
sometimes we run from cover
I’m always from the outside
So I waited the big speech out from the reporter and looked to Krillen who looked up
at Goku. “Goku he’s not giving up going first.” Krillen remarked.
“There’s got to be some thing we can do.” Gohan added.
“If that dufus wants to fight Cell first let him. If he packs it in we can always revive
him with the dragonballs.” Krillen remarked.
“Well there seems to be no other choice.” Goku remarked and he waved signalling
the choice of letting Hercule go first.
I flopped on to the ground and Yamcha looked over at me. “Even though Hercule’s
going first he’s still got his two student to come in and be irritating.”
“Huh?” Yamcha questioned and I pointed up to where a pink plane was beginning to
fly towards us. “Lee what is that?” He asked.
“It’s two more idiots.” I added. “These people can’t they just stay at home?”
“You’re going to love this.” Hercule began undoing his cape.
“So lets set the scene, the first step will be Hercule who will of course win and then
the earth will be saved from total destruction.” The reporter said.
I noticed the pink heli-plane was now overboard and a perky female voice run out
over the speakers. “Hold on everybody it’s time to get happy.”
I shuddered. “It’s perky females like that, that need to be shot to make this world a
better place.” I grumbled and crossed my arms.
“Uh oh could it be?” The reporter asked.
“That’s right the fabulous duo is here. One’s got strength one’s got brains and
everybody’s got the love.” the perky voice continued.
“Love for what?” Krillen question.
I sat up and looked at Cell standing there with his arms crossed. He looked rather
pissed at not fighting Goku first. But then again the first three would only take a
second of his time to get rid of and I noticed Cell look over at me. He looked as bored
as I felt. I then flopped back down on the ground. Very unlady like but I’d rather lie
down than continually stand on my feet and be forced to watch these three freaks
being made fun of on national television.
“Must be national goofball day.” Krillen remarked giving Goku a side glance.
I stood up brushing myself down and watched as the two idiots introduced themselves
as Piroshiki & Caroni. Coroni twirling round in a very feminine way that made me
arch an eyebrow.
‘Why is it in at least one anime there has to be a guy who’s obsessed with
flowers?’ I asked myself in thought. ‘It’s worrying.’
Piroshiki stomped his feet and made a signal of brute strength and I sighed. “I bet you
boy is sitting back at Roshi’s having a good old laugh at this and giving predictions
out on who’s going to get wasted first.” I remarked.
“I’d say.... hmmmm they’re toast.” Krillen remarked.
Goku turned round and he looked at me. “Lee any predictions on this?”
I nodded. “Cell doesn’t see any of them worthy and he just knocks them out of the
ring what he really wants is to fight you Goku. So he’s gunna make it pretty quick.
Same with Hercule. It’s going to be a bitch slap and he’s gone.” I said.
“So they’re not going to die?” Goku asked he sounded relieved.
“No they’ll be fine. Just some hurt pride and a realisation of that Cell is too strong for
them but living neither the less.” I replied.
“Oh that’s a relief.” Goku remarked sounding glad.
“Good thing to I’d hate to have a wish wasted on them.” Krillen remarked.
I looked at the female manager of the two students of Hercule. “Oh degrading look at
her could that skirt or whatever be any shorter?” I grumbled.
Goku looked at me. “Lee do you have to go in to fashion police mode?”
“Oh no there’s nothing wrong with her outfit minus that front part. The rest... It’s very
card captor.” I nodded and Goku blinked and he looked at me. “Nevermind.”
We looked over in time to see Caroni slice and dice flowers in the air and land.
Coroni looked over towards us I knew he was having a thought of how many woman
were watching him. I blinked as he looked directly at me. I arched an eyebrow.
“He’s giving me a headache.” Krillen grabbed the top of his head.
“Don’t ya wish they would all just go away?” I asked Krillen.
He nodded. “But that’s not going to happen.”
I frowned at the look the Caroni guy was giving me. “I bet you he doesn’t hear the
word ‘no’ very often.” I said and felt Yamcha grab my arm. “Wha?”
“Back here Lee.” he said.
I looked at Yamcha. ‘Aaaaawww He’s getting jealous easily.’ I thought.
So we stood back and watched as Caroni was blown out of the ring by Cell’s power in
the middle of his ‘beautiful rose attack’. I caught Cell looking back at Goku and Goku
returning the look. I suddenly felt both of them rise in energy.
Piroshiki charged at Cell with his ‘Mega tone bone crusher’ attack and was stooped
only a meter from Cell by his energy and he kept charging until he realised he
couldn’t pass Cell’s energy and was flicked backwards and out of the ring.
So there it was in a matter of seconds both of them flicked away and then we heard
Hercule making a boast of ‘it’s another trick’ and that ‘Cell rigged the ring’
Krillen looked in to the ring. “How thick can they really be? Cell’s energy flicked
them away not some stupid trick. It’s like talking to a wall.”
I looked to Piccolo to see his reaction and there was absolutely nothing there his arms
crossed and a stern look on his face I could tell he wasn’t going to say much
soon.
Hercule finally made his way in to the ring and removed his cape and held his belt up
for the audiences watching at home to see. He then reached in to his robe and pulled
out a capsule and he popped the cape flicking it aside revealing the travel back and
pulling out the tiles he begins piling them up.
Krillen slapped his forehead.
Yamcha watched and he blinked a couple of times. “This guy’s an idiot.”
I nodded “Makes you want him to get killed don’t it?” I asked.
Finally the tile pile was up to fifteen tiles high and he went in to his ‘trance like
state’.
I cupped my hands in a megaphone and then shouted out to see if I could distract him.
“HURRY UP WOULD YOU!!!! WE DON’T HAVE ALL DAY!!!”
Yamcha looked at me and his face faltered. “Lee what are you doing?”
“The sooner he fights the sooner he loses and we can get on with this.”
Hercule then brought his hand down only slicing fourteen of the tiles with his bare
hand and he then made the boast a few seconds later with fists in the air.
Finally the moment came when the “world martial arts champion” Hercule attacked
Cell throwing in the number of combinations lasting a total of two minutes to be my
guess- until Cell flicked him away and out of the ring and in to the cliff face with one
move.
“To be honest Gohan I was cheering for Cell with that little scrap.” Krillen
remarked.
“Me too.” I agreed.
Yamcha blinked and he looked at the now empty ring. “At least it’s over with.”
“And they’re still alive.” Goku added.
Goku looked toward Cell. Cell looked back at Goku from the corner of his eyes. The
real battle was just about to begin...
