"My Lady...?"

Slowly, the cloaked, hooded figure stepped forth from the dark shadows.

No command returned from her mistress standing across the room from her. She continued to stare deeply out into the endless abyss of her space-like realm, hidden in shadow.

"My Lady... I bring news of the possessor..."

Her mistress stirred slightly at this, but did not turn to face her. "...What are her current developments?"

"It doesn't look well, my Lady," she replied solemnly, bowing her head slightly. "I was forced to return from my duties..."

"Forced?" her short mistress replied quickly, almost sharply. "...Something happened, then..."

"Yes. ...The possessor is loosing control. I am afraid to report that the barriers you placed are breaking away more rapid-"

"I know, Nyome," the short kai interrupted, finally turning around to face her loyal servant. Her piercing, black eyes filled with concern, and worry. "But tell me what happened while on your patrol."

"Yes, my Lady," Nyome said, bowing further to her mistress. "I am not entirely sure, but she claims to loose control of her actions, and find herself in locations where she was not previously. She is becoming much more aggressive, and violent."

There was a long, silent pause.

"He almost made her kill an innocent, Mistress Sita..."

Another long, silent pause followed.

Sita just continued to stare at her servant, her eyes narrowed, and a grim look on her lavender face.

"...Mistress Sita?"

"We can do nothing, now."

"What?"

Sita narrowed her eyes further at her servant, and snapped, "You contradict me, in such a decision?"

"Forgive me, my Lady," Nyome said, getting to her knees.

"There is no longer anything we can do for her," Sita said grimly, turning away from Nyome to stare back into the endless abyss of space. "She is accepting him."

"Accepting him, my Lady?"

"Yes... He has fully corrupted her, to adapt into his being. We have no time to act influentially. He only needs the slightest push, and she will be lost."

"But...my Lady... I don't understand... Why do we not try harder to prevent this?"

A bitter silence quickly followed.

"...My Lady?"

Gohan did another loop-de-loop in the air, his red Saiyaman cape swirling gracefully around him in the strong winds of the high sky.

He'd been out scouting around for almost 3 and a half hours now-and was beginning to feel slightly discouraged.

How hard was it to find some girl anyway? Given the amount of time, plus the average speed of a human, and add that to the distance probably covered....

Ah Heck, he didn't know what he was doing. He was just going on pure instinct, really.

Gohan sighed in exasperation, flying along with his back facing the ground.

For some reason, he just couldn't get that whole deal with the cops from last night...

With fumbling fingers, Gohan unfolded the paper, and about dropped it in shock.

"Cyris..."

"Yeah, that's right. A, ehh, Cyris McCoy," the second policeman, Greg interjected. "She disappeared from her school earlier today, from the Health Clinic. Sightings say that not long after that she was spotted with two acquaintances of hers in Orange Star City, and then entering her aunt's apartment only a bit later."

"So, you're saying she's run away?"

"But why would she run away?" he questioned slowly, staring off into the horizon past his booted feet.

Gohan sighed again, rubbing the back of his neck.

He didn't know why...but he just felt like...he had to find her.

___________________________________________________________________ _____________

"Nyaah..."

Sheepishly, Cyris opened her eyes, wincing slightly at first from the bright, mid-day sun. She shielded her eyes in a futile attempt for her eyes to adjust, grumbling.

"Damned idiotic sun. Since when was it so bright at six in the..."

Cyris lowered her hand, blinking, and quickly gazed at the watch on her wrist.

"Holy Hell!" she exclaimed, sitting up with a jolt. "It's 8:30!! Crap, I'm late for sch-"

She stopped in mid-sentence, as the realization donned on her.

"Oh...right..." she sighed, somewhat sadly, and rubbed her eyes with the back of her hands. "Bloody Hell my brain never works... Stupid nightmares screwing with my mind..."

Stiffly, Cyris slowly got to her feet, stretching out her arms in the air in the process. She scratched the back of her neck absently, staring deeply into the deep red brick wall in front of her. Her eyes followed the lines of white plaster between them absently, tracing a pathway as she stretched.

She stopped, her fingers freezing. She blinked, and realization came to her again.

"Wait a minnit... Wasn't I in a car?"

With a surge of adrenaline she wasn't aware she currently had, Cyris whipped around, scanning the area around here wildly; she hastily pulled her hands in close into a karate defensive stance as she did so.

After a moment, Cyris slowly relaxed, and pulled out of her stance. Quickly, she cursed herself for letting her guard down so much that she would fall asleep in someone else's car-not to mention it was someone she didn't even know.

...Whoever that lady was...

But the real question, was how did she get here?

Cyris heaved an agitated sigh. "Let's see... one, two, three... I think this makes the fourth time I've woken up somewhere that I wasn't before..." She lifted up her blue backpack off the dirty pavement, and swung it over her shoulder.

"God this sucks..." she muttered, and walked out of the alleyway, and into the street.

"Uhh....this is going nowhere really fast..." Gohan sighed, drooping his head. "I don't even know why I came out here-it's not like I'm gonna be able to find one person! And how do I even know she even came out this way..." he continued to ramble on to himself, putting his hand on the side of his face, and closed his eyes.

"Not even the cops had any idea where she was-so how am I supposed to fair out? It's like searching for a needle in a haystack!"

His lowered his head further. "I'm never gonna find her..." he sighed in exasperation, and opened his eyes.

There. Right there-miles directly below of him-his eyes caught sight of a head full of green and black streaked hair, walking down on of the main sidewalks; a blue backpack slung across their shoulder as well.

He blinked, his mouth falling open slightly.

A small smile cracked his lips, letting out a chuckle. Quickly, the grin spread the length of his cheeks, and he began laughing almost like a lunatic.

"That's her!" he said triumphantly, raising a fist into the air. "I can't believe it-I found her! Hahaha!"

Without another moment's hesitation, Gohan put in a large burst of speed, and angled himself down to the ground.

"Hey, watch it bub!" Cyris snapped irritably as a tall man with deep green hair and of great girth shoved past her, nearly crushing her into the street wall.

"Watch yourself!" he snapped back, narrowing his yellow eyes at her, and continued on without a second thought.

Cyris let out a growl, glaring knives into the back of his skull. "Stupid jerk," she seethed under her breath.

Despite how tempting it was, Cyris decided it the best to do nothing-not wise to try and crack open someone's skull in public, after all.

And it was awfully crowded.

"Hmm...where am I, anyway?" she said to herself-mostly trying to get the still remaining thought of killing that bastard guy out of her mind-scanning the sidewalk.

She picked her head up, and took a quick look over at a large, blue sign looming above her.

A big, smiling panda bear, waving its paw in the air, sitting next to the large, white print:

"Welcome to Nikkeitown!"

"Uh-huh..." Cyris nodded. "OK, that answers my question..." She looked away from the sign, and put her foot out, ready to take a step.

"..Wait..."

Jerkily, she froze in place, her eyes widening slightly. Slowly, she turned her head around, and looked back up to the sign again.

"Nikkeitown..." she said barely above a whisper, as her eyes kept running over the large, white lettering.

For some reason...this place...it suddenly seemed...distantly familiar...

"Hey! Look over there!"

Cyris's head immediately snapped away from gazing at the sign towards a woman nearby in the crowd. She was pointing excitedly toward the sky, making a fuss.

"Look, look! Something's flying this way!"

"Flying...?" Cyris said vaguely, turning and looking to the direction the woman was pointing-as were a few other people.

"Hey yeah-I see!" hollered a man, stepping up to the woman's side.

The people traveling along the street began to hastily gather together, Cyris being shoved into the middle of it.

"Hey-stop shoving me damn it!" she snapped as a small, thin woman tried pushing her way past her, being crunched into the back of a tall man in the process. "Ack!"

But before she could throw a retort, a ping shot through her thoughts.

Her senses...they were picking up a familiar, oncoming aura...

"It's Saiyaman!" she blurted out suddenly, and clamped her hands over her mouth to shut herself up.

But it was too late-everyone around her buzzed with excitement.

"It's Saiyaman?! Yeah yeah-it is him!"

"He's a real super hero, you know it?! Supposed to be supper strong!"

"Wow! Saiyaman's coming straight this way!"

But... Man, there's no reason a "hero"-which I use loosely-like him would just fly down into a crowd of people on the street, Cyris thought to herself, lowering her eyelids in mild interest-for the moment ignoring the fact that she was being shoved into another person.

But then a thought slowly crept into her mind.

Unless...he'd be looking for someone...

"Shit!" Cyris cursed, hunching over into the crowd.

"Shit shit SHIT! This is bad! Laura's enough of a fricken case without having to worry about me-she probably called in that goof-ball to drag me back! Damn it!

Quickly Cyris pulled the hood of her coat over her head, just in time to hear a loud, obnoxious "Good day, loyal citizens!"

Promptly, the crazily adorned Saiyaman landed a few feet away in the clear part of the street, giving a little wave.

"...Crap..."

Instantly, the crowd rifted for a fraction of a second, and imploded upon itself again. The people eagerly in an animalistic manner began to push their way toward the hero, yelling and shouting with excitement.

Poor Cyris could do nothing but be pulled along with the crowd helplessly-and poor Saiyaman about got mauled over by the force of the surrounding crowd.

"It's Saiyaman!" The crowd went wild, people trying to shove their way up to the great hero.

"Oo! Hey Saiyaman!" said a teenage girl, edging her way forward to him, holding a marker in her hand. "I'm Bonnie-Shae, and I think you're sexaay! Can I have your autograph? You can sign me wherever you want!"

Even visible through his dark visor, you could see the crimson blush sweep onto Gohan's cheeks.

"Uh...well I..."

"Saiyaman! Saiyaman!! Can I take your picture?!"

FWASH!!

"Gaah!" Gohan practically shrieked, putting his hands over his eyes, not being able to see from the bright flash of the camera.

"What are you here for, Saiyaman? After a gang of bank robbers? Cut throats? Illegal chinchilla ranchers??"

"Illegal...what??"

"Gah! Damn it, get out of my wa-aggh!"

Cyris was practically clawing at the air, desperately trying to get out of the rushing crowd, which was pushing her closer and closer to the bucket-headed hero.

"P-Please stand aside!" The Great Saiyaman said, slightly pleadingly. "I'm on very important business! I'm supposed to be looking for someone!"

Crap, so he is looking for me! Cyris thought, and tried even more desperately to edge her way through the oncoming rush without knocking a few people to the next county in the process.

But it was no use, for the giant mesh of people began to force their way even closer to the hero at his announcement of activities.

"Ooo! Who are you looking for?!"

"Is it the chinchilla ranchers?!"

"Ahahaaaa..." Cyris practically sobbed at the futility of her efforts. "Let me outa thiiis!"

Finally, Gohan worked up his gall, said demandingly, "That's enough!! Please, all of you stand aside at once-you're meddling and keeping me from my activities!"

At last, at his order, the crowd settled down, and instantly began to part.

The force of the crowd upon her now diminished caught Cyris completely off-guard.

She snagged the edge of the rubber from her sneaker on the rough sidewalk, and she toppled backwards on one foot. Cyris spun around, and before she had the chance, forcefully bumped into someone.

"Oh, excuse me miss," came Saiyaman's voice. "Really sorry about that..."

Cyris's blood instantly ran as cold as ice, her breath catching in the back of her throat.

"Kaaa....meeeee..."

A child's voice-echoing out in her head...

"...Haaa....meeeeeeeeeee...."

Cyris's blood suddenly ran as cold as ice... Her hazel eyes slowly glazed over, and her outside senses dulled...

"HAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

The ground felt like it dropped out from beneath her feet, and she was engulfed in black...

And in that instant, time froze.

* * *

"NO CHANCE!! YOU HAVE NO CHAANCE!!" Cell roared, sending out another wave of his ki back toward Piccolo and the assembled Senshi.

They struggled to hold their ground against the thundering power, but, one by one they were sent flying backwards into the sky.

Gohan sneered at him, feeling himself being pushed backwards, the ground splitting off beneath his feet, a pile rocks building up behind his feet.

The whole Earth itself began to shake and quake, hug chunks of terrain breaking off and sent hurdling into the air; lightening streaks flashed through the sky, crackling through the dry dirt.

"Gohan...!" Piccolo said, struggling to sit up and watch the battle from the ground.

"We tried..." Tien groaned.

"We're all sorry Goku..." Krillin choked. "We all did our very best to be heroes like you but..."

"It wasn't enough," Yamcha finished.

"SAY GOOD-BYE!" Cell yelled triumphantly, sending more power into his blast, beginning to further overtake the half-saiyan.

Victory nearly at his fingertips, Cell began to laugh evilly away.

Yes! This was it! The moment that he would finally crush these pathetic weaklings and prove his Perfection once and for all!

...Yet, he was so caught up in his thought of victory, that he failed to notice the blast...

It hit Cell hard in the small of his back, and his knees buckled beneath him. The wind was almost knocked free from his lungs.

WHAT?!

There-barely offset by the dark sky around him, hands in front of him in a technique stance, was none other than the Saiyan Prince Vegeta.

Cell whipped his head around, practically gawking at the Saiyan Prince. "VEGETA!!!"

With a sudden holler of rage, Gohan flung out the remainder of his energy into his blast.

Cell had just enough time to turn his hot magenta eyes back, and saw Gohan's form stepping toward him, enveloped in radiant blue light.

There was no time to regain control of the blast now... Gohan had the upper hand upon him... Chips of his armor began breaking off around him, the white hot pain consuming his ever nerve ending.

"N...Noo.. This can't be..." Cell said, as the blast ate away at him, feeling his arms and legs dissolve. "I'M PERFEEEECCTT!!!!"

And with those last words, his body crumbled into dust, and he was sent into darkness.

* * *

"Yeessss," Cyris said, her voice sharp, icy-emotionless.

The Great Saiyaman had moved past her, and continued down the sidewalk. Her lifeless eyes were transfixed on him.

Slowly, her lips parted, curling into a snarl.

"He...is the one who killed me..."

Suddenly, her eyes snapped open wide, her irises shrinking down to small pink specks.

A surge of power swept over her, through her veins, blinding her senses. Throwing her head back, she screamed out in rage to the sky, the ground giving way and exploding violently beneath her feet. Light enveloped her small figure, and quickly swept outward, swallowing up all that were in its path-they became lost to it-disintegrating.

Gohan had only a split of a second to look back at the giant wall of golden-white light as it raced toward him, and then he too, was consumed.
