~*The Proud Lotus and the Evil Locust*~
"Just you wait, Cell," Meilin whispered,"Just you wait."
Meilin jumped from the tree branch she was perched upon and landed gently on her feet. She scanned the area with her keen eyes. She scowled when she saw Cell standing there, facing the green guy named Piccolo or something, he had that arrogant smirk painted on his ugly face.
Oh how I would love to wipe that smirk off of his freakish face!!
Meilin saw her car in the distance. She made a mad dash for it, hoping Cell noticed her as she ran. She wanted that cockroach to see her and attack her just so she could show him what she was made of. She clicked the heels of her Timberland platform boots on the pavement of the street as hard as she could, hoping to catch his attention.
"Well, Piccolo. Shall we continue, or do want me to kill you right here?", Cell smirked.
Piccolo was about to respond with a ki ball straight to the head when he heard a clicking sound. It sounded a lot like...
footsteps...
Piccolo whirled around and gasped. Running across the street was that same girl he had just saved from Cell a few moments ago. She was running with incredible speed for a human.
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, GIRL?!!! GET OUT OF HERE NOW!!!!", Piccolo screamed.
Cell turned his head and his smirk widened. It was that same girl who he had nearly absorbed if it wasn't for that meddling Namek. He wasn't going to let her get away this time! He ran with amazing speed and was in front of her before she could take another step.
"Hello there, little one," he smirked."
Meilin gasped when he was standing in front of her in only a second. The bastard was as fast as lightening. Meilin folded her arms over her chest and put on an indifferent look that would have rivaled Yue's.
"Hello, Cell," she said with no emotion. Monsters like him loved the feeling of fear and panic from their victims. Well, if he wanted fear and panic, he wasn't getting any from her.
Cell's eyes widened,How does this girl know my name?, he thought as her stared at her. Oh well. It was no matter. She was going to die in a few seconds anyway, so what did it really matter? He raised his tail and aimed it straight at her chest. Maybe the girl had excepted her fate and was taking it very well, or maybe the girl wanted to die, or she was to afraid to move. He looked into her eyes and found no trace of fear, sadness, or...anything. It was as if her eyes were an empty red void. Most of his victims had fear and panic in their eyes which delighted him, but this girl's eyes held nothing. Not a dammed thing. This annoyed him.
Meilin looked into his pink catlike eyes. She found nothing but evil, arrogance, and...frustration. This confused her. What would this monster have to be frustrated about? Then it hit her. He wants me to be afraid. He wants me to beg and cry for mercy. Well, Cell. That's just not going to happen. C'mon. Do it. Try and kill me. You just don't know how strong I am.
Cell thrust his tail forward at lightening speed. He was millimeters away from absorbing the little brat but...his tail struck the pavement.
What?!
The girl had back flipped out of the way right before his tail struck her stomach. Cell looked at her wide eyed and his mouth hung open. This girl, no bigger than field mouse, had dodged his attack. He tried again and she flipped out of the way again.
This one is fast for a human.
Cell smirked down at her,"Well, little one, you are quite fast for a worthless human," he said smirking. The girl gave him a half smile. "Let's see just how fast you are!", Cell yelled and thrust his tail at her as fast as he could over and over again. She dodged each and every one of his attacks with incredible speed and grace. She back flipped, front flipped, jumped and cart wheeled to dodge each attack and he never even cut her.
Cell stopped his series of attacks and stepped back from her. Meilin looked into his eyes. The evil, arrogance, and frustration was still there, along with the tiniest hint of respect. Meilin smiled to herself. The freak has the tiniest but of respect for me. I guess he never met a human who could dodge his attacks this well, or at all for that matter.
"I must admit human. I am impressed. You're speed is amazing. I'm sure you'll make a hearty meal," he said with his raspy, cocky voice.
"Don't count on it, you sideshow freak!", she hissed. Cell smirked and without warning, his tail thrust forward. Meilin was fast, but not fast enough. The tip of his tail had slashed the front of her red sweater. It didn't cut her skin, but her shirt was ruined.
This was the shirt Syaoran-kun gave me for my birthday...he's gonna die for this.
Now everyone who knows Li Meilin knows she has an incredible temper. She'll snap in a minute. But now, she was completely pissed! This monster had ruined her favorite shirt that her beloved Li Syaoran had given her for her 17th birthday.
Cell stared at the girl. Her ki was beginning to rise dramatically.
A power level of 60? Not bad for an average human, especially a young one like her.
Meilin's red eyes flashed with anger. She crouched down and then without warning...
POW!
Cell was caught off guard when her fist connected with his jaw. Cell stumbled back a bit. The punch didn't hurt, it stung a little. He stared down at the girl wide eyed. This small human actually had the nerve to hit him! Cell reared his fist back and punched the girl in her shoulder, sending her flying into a building. But she got back to her feet shakily, anger and determination in her ruby eyes.
This girl is more spirited than I thought...
She came rushing at him, her foot almost connected with his stomach but he caught her foot and tossed her into another building. Meilin stood up and hissed deep in her throat. That bastard had torn her shirt and then tossed her around like some toy! She looked around but she couldn't see him anywhere.
"Where are you, you giant green piece of shit?!!", Meilin screamed looking around her getting into her fighting stance. She heard his deep chuckle.
"You are a little spit fire, aren't you, little one?", Cell's voice said amused. Meilin looked around and couldn't see him.
Very clever. He's making his voice echo off of the buildings...
Meilin looked around again but couldn't see him. She could her him laughing loudly and it was annoying her greatly.
"WHERE!!! ARE!!!! YOU!!!!!", she screamed losing her patience and starting to get nervous.
His laughter grew louder. She paled and looked up. She had missed one very big hiding place.
He was floating nine feet above her.
Meilin gasped as he flew down at her and tackled her to the pavement, pinning her arms to the ground. She kicked ferociously as he held her down, his tail aimed at her throat, laughing in her face.
Meilin suddenly had an idea. I hope this works. From what I can tell, he's a male. And if he's a male, he has the same weakness as all males. Meilin smirked up at him and stared down at her confused.
What is wrong with this girl?! She should be scared stiff...
Meilin's legs were able to move freely. She slowly began to arch her knee and...
K-THUMP!
Cell moaned loudly at the unbelievable pain when her knee struck him between his legs. He rolled off of her, holding himself. His face had turned greeninsh-blue from the pain.
That little tramp!
Meilin quickly stood up as soon as he rolled from atop of her. She smirked. He may have been a powerful, killing machine, but he was still a male. She thought of the innocent people he killed. Her anger rose and before you could blink, she was on top of him. Pounding her fists into his chest and stomach, screaming curses at him. Cell had recovered from the pain rather quickly though and his fist had connected with her jaw, sending her flying backward into a building.
Meilin groaned at the sudden pain and opened her eyes. Cell was rushing at her with his tail pointed at her. Meilin stood and gasped but Cell was thrown into another building by Piccolo. He turned to her, glaring at her.
"Are you insane, girl?!," he yelled at her.
Meilin glared back,"I was just teaching this freak a lesson," she said pushing a strand of hair out of her eyes,"And my name's not 'girl', it's Meilin Li!," she called.
Just then Cell got up,"So, Meilin, is it?", he said smirking at her but she could see the anger in his eyes. Meilin smirked. I must be embarrassing for such a strong thing to be kicked in the balls by a human girl like her.
She was just about to say something when she felt someone land behind her. She turned around and looked down. Some guy was standing behind her. He was short and bald. He looked up at her.
"Lady, don't you know you shouldn't be here? That monster will kill you in a minute when given the chance!," he told her.
Meilin smirked,"I'm pretty sure he would, especially after what I just did to him," she said winking.
Krillen looked at her shocked,"What did you do to him?," he asked her.
Meilin was just about to answer when Piccolo's voice rang out,"Krillen!!! Get that girl out of here now!! I'll take care of Cell! Just get that crazy girl out of here!," he yelled.
Krillen nodded and took Meilin by the waist and flew into the air. That's when Cell started yelling after him.
"Krillen!! Bring that little tramp back down here now!!," Cell yelled. He would have gone after them, but he was too distracted when Piccolo fired a ki blast at him.
Meilin gasped,"Who are you calling a tramp, you ugly jackass!!!!," she screamed. Meilin remembered her stuff was down there. She had her purse with her. It was one of those backpack purses. (you know what I'm talking about!) But her clothes were still in the trunk of her car.
"Hey, um...Krillen, is it?", she asked.
"Yeah..."
"Can we go back to my car? My clothes are in there.," she told him.
"I'll get your stuff later. Right now, I'm going to take you Kame House," he said. Usually he would probably drop her off somewhere else but Cell seemed to be completely pissed with this girl for some reason and most likely torture her before he absorbed her.
Meilin looked down and saw two flashes of light. They stopped for a moment and landed on the ground. Cell backed away from Piccolo and then charged towards him. He jumped up and laned on the roof of her Benz, crushing it. It didn't explode though.
"My car!!! I'm gonna kill him!!!," Meilin screamed, struggling in Krillen's grasp.
Krillen sweatdropped,"Oh boy. Um...Lady. I'm sure you can get it fixed," he said as she continued to rant and rave. Meilin pulled the same move she had pulled on Tien. She wriggled out of Krillen's grasp and landed on a tree branch.
Krillen gasped when he saw her fall and land so gracefully on her feet. She certainly is a determined. Amazingly crazy, but determined. Krillen flew after her as she ran. She was very fast. He felt her ki rising as she ran. She had a power level of 72 right now. 72? Wow?! She must've been training a lot. But she's still no match for Cell! Krillen took off after her while she ran.
Meilin was burning up. That green and orange freak! I'm going to beat the shit out of him! She glanced behind her and saw Krillen flying after her. She rolled her eyes and continued running. Why can't they leave me alone? She saw Cell and Piccolo fighting. Piccolo was getting the worst of the beating. Cell was just about to strike Piccolo with his tail.
Meilin reached deep inside of her for strength. She may not have magical powers like her cousin and her ancestor, Clow Reed. But she did have their strength. She crouched down and jumped high into the air and landed a swift kick to Cell's head. The heel of her platform boot connecting with his temple. He never even saw it coming. Cell was knocked a few feet back.
What?! Her again! This little brat is a lot stronger than I thought.
Cell stared at her wide eyed and then he smirked,"Well, Meilin. You are a lot stronger than I gave you credit for.," he said chuckling lightly.
Meilin got into a fighting stance,"There's plenty more when that came from, Cell!," she growled. She glanced at her attire. She really wished she was wearing her Chinese fighting robes. She wasn't used to fighting in a pair of platform boots, a cashmere sweater, and a black leather skirt. I wish I was wearing my fighting robes! Oh well, this will have to do.
Cell got into a fighting stance,"So sweetie, you want to play, do you? Very well, it's my turn now," he smirked and charged at her with amazing speed. Meilin charged at him and flung herself at him, sending a series of kicks and punches at him. Cell blocked each of her attacks. She was no match for him. She had spirit, but she was no match.
Meilin growled in frustration. He was blocking each of her hits. This monster was very strong. But, if she concentrated enough she might be able to beat him.
Cell smirked at her and flipped backwards, landing a few feet away from her. She was tired out and breathing heavily. "Well, little one. I was hoping for a challenge. But, you are nothing but a weakling," he said folding his arms across his chest.
"I am not weak, damn you!," she screamed.
"Don't get me wrong, sweetie. You are amazingly strong for a human. But, you are no match for me. Now, why don't you just come here like a good little girl," he suggested smirking.
"So you can kill me like you killed those other innocent people? Forget it!," Meilin screamed,"And don't call me 'sweetie!," she added hissing.
Cell walked towards her, his tail pointing at her. Now that she was tired out, she wouldn't be able to fight him off so quickly and easily. Meilin looked up at him, panting. I'm too tired. But I won't give up. He will never get me so easily. But even as she thought this, she was fading out.
Cell raised his tail,"This is it, sweetie," he said laughing evilly. But it was cut off short when Piccolo punched him in the jaw. Cell was knocked back a little bit.
That meddling Namek...
Cell glared at Piccolo who was soon joined by Tien, Krillen, and Trunks.
Hmmm. I could squash them like the flies they are, but I'll wait.
"I'd love to stay and play with you idiots. But, I have better things to do," Cell said as he flew into the air.
"Get back down here, you coward!," Piccolo yelled after him, preparing to chase him if he had to.
Cell flew into the air, in the sun. He had to get rid of that irritating Namek somehow. Cell looked at the sun and smirked. That's a perfect idea. Cell placed both of his hands to the sides of his head..
"SOLAR FLARE!!," he yelled.
Piccolo and the others shielded their eyes from the blinding light of the sun. When the light finally cleared Cell was nowhere to be found.
"YOU COWARD!!,"Piccolo screamed.
Krillen sighed,"Piccolo, let's just go back to Kame House. We won't be able to find him," he said floating into the air.
"What about her?," Trunks asked motioning to Meilin who was regaining consciousness.
"I'll be fine.," she said standing up and walking over to her wrecked car. She scowled,"Oh he is going to pay for this...," she hissed. She opened her trunk and pulled out her suitcase.
"I'll be leaving now. Goodbye," she said as she began to walk.
Piccolo grabbed her arm,"What did you think you were doing back there, girl? He could've killed you!," he yelled.
Meilin yanked her arm out of his grasp,"Well, he didn't kill me. And as for what I was doing, I was defending myself. He attacked me and I defended myself. He insulted me, I stood up for myself. Now, I must go.," she said walking away from him.
Trunks stared at Piccolo,"Who was she?," he asked.
"Her name is Meilin Li, and I get the feeling we won't be seeing the last of her," he said flying into the air as the others followed.
~**~**~
Cell watched Meilin saunter down the street, her suitcase in hand. He never took his eyes off of her until she was out of sight. He stood on the roof of a skyscraper, and watched as Piccolo and his stupid friends take thier leave. He then jumped down from the building, landing on his feet. He then leaned against the wall of the building and closed his eyes and felt out Piccolo, Krillen, Trunks and Tien's ki until it faded.
This Meilin Li girl fascinates me. She is perhaps the only human I have ever met who was not afraid to fight me. She is a lot stronger than the Namek or even she herself believes. We will meet again, sweetie. We will meet again very, very soon.
