Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ The Neomancer Chronicles: Sparrow ❯ The Beginning... ( Chapter 1 )

I don't own Dragonball, or Majin Buu. However, Sparrow and the chosen six are MY creation! Please don't steal. Thank you.

Sparrow watched her siblings faced off against Maijin Buu. It was her fault he was here! Curse her new powers! The planet Astos was going to face utter destruction. Things were not going well at all.

"Leave out planet, Buu," Robin ordered.

Only a miracle could save them...or maybe she could...she drew in her power...it flowed into her...

"What if I say no?" Buu asked, arching a brow. The planet trembled, then he released a huge explosive blow upon Robin. Robin's scream was lost in the explosion.

"Spectral Illusion!" Magpie wove a shield about herself. Buu moved faster than the eye could follow, then punched through the shield. Magpie flew backwards into the rock wall, screaming as she went through solid rock.

"Two down, four to go," Buu sang.

Mouse sent wave after wave of power at Buu. Buu kneed Mouse, who sagged to the ground. Jay tried a lunge attack on Buu. Buu simply held up his knee again. Jay took the full force of his own attack. Jay moaned, curling up into a ball. "Spare me your mind games and DIE!" Buu delivered a swift kick to Jay's already sensitive stomach. Jay rolled over and over with pain.

Sparrow watched as her only family was thrown down effortlessly. Something boiled down in her stomach. Buu saw her and laughed. "There's nothing you can do huh?" Buu said, laughing at her. "If you can hit me, I'll leave your planet...huh?" Something in her eyes begged to differ. The next thing Buu knew he was screaming in shock and rage. Psychic energy flared out. She dropped all restraints. She focused her rage on Buu and the psychic blast grew even stronger. Tears rolled down her cheeks. Her family, all destroyed….

"You can have your stinking planet. I'm outta here," Buu retreated. "There's another planet where I can gain more power...its called earth." Buu left as he promised.

Sparrow fainted. She woke up to find her family around her. She thought they were all dead.

"We have to prevent this," Robin was saying. "We can let him assault planet after planet. He has gone after earth. So to prevent earth's destruction, we must leave for that planet also,"

“Why earth?” Mouse asked.

"Because it has a great concentration of power. Plus, it's teeming with life. It's the ideal planet to destroy," Robin explained.

Someone groaned. "My head," Sparrow mumbled. She felt dizzy and miserable. "Remind me not to do that again,"

"Please do it more often," Robin quipped. "You saved the planet,”

Back on earth, everyone went on their merry way. But those who felt that psychic rush asked themselves, "What was that?”

*********************************************

Master Roshi was worried. He felt he should notify earth's guardian about Sparrow and company. After surfing the internet from hour of porn watching, he received an email from the intergalactic planetary protection agency. The email pertained about a young woman named Sparrow, her family and her background. If anyone could protect them from the wrath of Buu, Goku and company could. Master Roshi knocked on the door. Goku looked surprised as Master Roshi let himself in. “Um..won't you come in?” Goku asked quizzically.

Master Roshi pointed at Goku. “You call yourself a saiyajin yet you can't feel this massive power coming towards earth!?”

“I feel a lot of powers,” Goku argued. “What's this about anyway?”

Master Roshi explained everything to Goku and the rest.

"We have to protect some bimbo from Maijin Buu?" Vegeta complained.

“I want nothing to do with it,” he added, waving the issue off with a flip of his hand.

“You WILL protect her unless you want to see the earth in tiny pieces!” Master Roshi left no room for objections.

“Does this Sparrow have that much power?” Goku asked. He had always wondered about beings from other planets and their powers.

“Without a doubt,” Master Roshi confirmed. “Although it is unknown just how much power she possesses,”

“I've never heard of a woman having that much power,” Vegeta mused.

“Vegeta, there is probably a lot of women in the galaxy with that much power. You just haven't met one yet,” Goku told Vegeta.

“Something tells me I'm about to meet one,” Vegeta said. This was getting interesting. Already he could sense her aura.

“Now go downtown to meet her,” Master Roshi instructed.

“You mean like an earth welcoming party?” Goku asked. “I'm curious. Let's go, Vegeta,”

“I'll pass,” Vegeta said. “I've got to train,”

“For what? I see no enemies here,” Goku looked around.

“Just—nevermind,” he walked off.

"What a strange planet," Mouse noted, "It has only one sun,"

"I can sense a being of power," Sparrow said. “More than one, actually,”

~We have company~ Robin used telepathy to the others.

"They could be hostile," Magpie mumbled, then powered up for the Spectral Illusion.

"Fool. They could think WE'RE hostile!" Robin snapped. "Don't attack until I tell you!"

"You are just itching for a fight, aren't you?" Jay asked.

"You're right." then she shouted, "Come on out, you coward!"

Sparrow stomped on Magpie's foot, who howled. "They could be friendly!"

"Yeah right. Just like the others," Magpie smirked.

"Goku, what do you think of them?" Krillian whispered.

"The one with the silver hair must be Sparrow. I heard she could create a level 5 hurricane in mere minutes."

"Wow. And the others must be her family," Krillian added.

"Why don't the others just come on out?" asked a new voice.

"Who's that?" Krillian asked.

"I sense something strange coming," Goku said.

Dressed in a black leather catsuit was the something strange. The woman was tall and muscular. She had black hair in a ponytail and eerie black eyes. "I am your superior, Blaze." She jumped from a 20 story building and landed lightly on two feet.

"How did she do that? She can't be human!"

"That's because she isn't," Goku noted.

"Look who I found," sang Blaze. She picked up Sparrow off the ground. "My power boost,"

"Wild Rainstorm!" she blasted the exact spot that Goku and Krillian were standing. They leaped out of the way.

Blaze laughed. "Now I shall feed on my power boost,"

"No, don't let her! If she gains more power, your planet is doomed," Crowe yelled.

Goku and Krillian ran out to face the strange woman. Goku launched a huge blast. The woman smirked, then merely turned around. Goku felt sick: the woman was going to use Sparrow as a shield. He couldn't move fast enough to save her. Sparrow couldn't summon a shield to protect herself, because she was using her strength to fight off Blaze. Sparrow screamed as she felt an intense pain. Blaze merely had the wind driven out of her. She was laughing again as she stood up, "Wild Rainstorm!"

Crowe managed to shield them all.

"Atomic Kenesis!" Sparrow countered with that. Blaze laughed as she eluded the attack.

"If only we had seven people," Mouse said. "We could use the Kenetic Beam attack on her,"

"The Kenetic Beam? Do you think that will destroy me? I am more powerful than all of you combined now that Sparrow is unable to help you." Sparrow sagged to the ground, exhausted.

"Spectral Illusion!" Magpie yelled.

"Heavy Arsenal!" Jay added.

"Shadow Vortex!" Crowe shouted

"Dew Drop Needle!" Robin announced.

“Psychosis Mist!” Mouse jumped in.

The quintuple attack knocked her back some but she was laughing still. "What weak attacks! Do you think that'll stop me? I'm only letting you live because I enjoy a good show. But you can all die together! Wild Rainstorm!" after she finished her attack, she added in a huge energy ball. Then it scattered. Everyone tried to dodge, but Sparrow's family got nailed in the process. Sparrow woke up as she was. She watched her family get injured. Blaze's attack was too fast to dodge. Sparrow lapsed into unconsciousness again.

“Do you want to get involved?” Krillian asked Goku.

Goku nodded. “We have to protect the earth. It seems this Blaze woman is a threat to the earth itself,”

“No one can save you now,” laughed Blaze.” I'll destroy this planet at my own whim,”

“That's wrong,” Goku told her. Sensing a challenge from the woman, he let himself go super.

“Who the hell are you?” Blaze demanded.

“I won't let you harm this planet anymore,” Goku told Blaze. “I don't care if you are a woman, I can't let you kill the people who live on this planet,”

Blaze laughed. “Bring it on, idiot. It's your funeral,”

Sparrow watched Blaze fight someone. Whomever she was fighting, there no doubting his combat skills. ~Probably this planet's guardian~ Sparrow thought.

Sparrow realized it was time to help out earth's guardian. She let her rage control her power. Soon there was a fire in her belly. Her aura was pure silver. “How dare you hurt me, and my family! DAMN YOU!!” Sparrow screamed as she added in more and more power. The sky flashed with silver lightning and the ground trembled. Krillian watched in amazement. He had never seen anything so powerful in his whole life, with exception of Goku and his sons. Who was this girl?

Goku also watched in amazement. He looked at the girl. He wondered if she was part saiyajin. He realized when she would release her power, it would be catastrophic. “We'll settle this another time,” he promised Blaze. Everyone was well into the safety zone when he heard a yell of "Now!" Blaze found herself alone in circumference of at least 1000 yards. Blaze managed to get her shields up just in time. She stood in the middle of a roaring fire. She screamed as the attack injured her. It hurt like hell. She had only one option and that was to flee.

Maijin Buu had the unfortunate experience of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. He had come to earth to power up. That was when he almost mauled by Sparrow's blast. He phased out by reflex, thankfully. He breathed a sigh of relief. He would have to come by later. He turned around, facing a laughing woman. She looked like she had just come from a fight.

"Who are you?"

"Me? Just your superior," Blaze smirked. "You should be more careful. You're lucky to be alive,"

"What do you care?" Buu asked her.

"Because we both want Sparrow's powers for ourselves."

"No, I want her dead."

"Fool! Think of what you can do with such power! Your name will strike fear into all beings. Planets will surrender to you without lifting a finger."

The more she talked about it the more appealing it was to him. "Your success is guaranteed if we work together.”

"I'm sorry, I work alone. There's no way I'm going to ask a woman for help. Do you honestly think I am so weak that I can't kill you right now?"

"As of right now, yes."

Buu charged Blaze, who merely backhanded him so hard she drove him into the wall. "How did you get so strong?" he demanded.

“I was feeding off your energy the moment you got here,” the parasite queen explained.

“A parasite queen? How interesting,” Buu mused. “but I don't recall giving you permission to feed off my energy,”

“A queen doesn't need to follow rules, she makes them,” Blaze laughed. “I have a proposition for you,”

“And that is….?”Buu asked.

“To join forces in order to get what we want,” Blaze said. “you want revenge and I want death-- on the same woman no less,”

“No way. You're a woman,” Buu pointed out.

“I'm a woman with power,” Blaze pointed out. “I am the ruler of an entire planet,”

“I don't care. I don't work with women,” Buu explained.

Blaze had plenty to say on this subject but decided to switch tactics. Recruiting Maijin Buu was going to be difficult. "Fine then we won't get what we want. We'll do this the hard way."

"The hard way?" Buu said to himself.

"Yeah. The hard way. It's just a waste of energy. Why make it the hard way? Are you going to put away that pride of yours and to get what you want?" Hook, line and sinker.

"Why should I join you? You got the hots for me?"

"You look like a wad of a. b. c. gum, and you smell like a dead moose's butt. Does that answer your question?”

Buu counted to ten, then nodded. "Very well. I`ll help you. As long as you recognize a few things: one, if you insult me one more time I will kill you. Two, my `superior' is death and destruction and misery. Three, we go by my rules."

"And get ourselves killed by the Kenetic Beam? Sorry. One, I'll insult you whichever way I please. Two, I'll acknowledge your angry guy routine and three; threats to my life are nil. One more threat I am outta here. Fourth, I am your superior. My race is the greatest in the known galaxy."

"My, aren't we pompous!"

"You're one to talk!”

The argument would have gone on for a lot longer if the target hadn't appeared.

“I…I sense our target…she's on the move. Slowly,” Blaze flew towards Sparrow's location.

“Hey! Wait up!” Buu flew after Blaze.

Just as Blaze predicted, the woman opened the door opened a door and said, “I'm going for a walk. I need a change of scenery,”

“It could be unsafe for you to go alone,” they heard a voice tell her.

“Don't worry…I'll be fine,” Sparrow waved the issue aside.

“What's wrong, Goku?” asked his wife.

“I feel a malicious presence nearby,” Goku said. “I better investigate,”

Buu realized he better leave. He wasn't in the mood for a fight with Goku.

“Don't worry; I'll drain the rest of her energy and let you have your revenge,” Blaze assured Buu. “I'll also confuse Sparrow's bodyguard,”

“With what?” Buu called to her.

“With my ass,” Blaze said in sarcasm. “What do you think, dummy?”

Buu was too far away to reply.

"Goku, could you please turn on the news," his wife asked him.

"Okay," Goku turned on the switch for the tv. “I thought I sensed Maijin Buu….maybe I was imagining things,”

“Are you sure you don't feel anyone else?” Robin asked him. “Because I feel Blaze's aura nearby,”

“Are you certain?” Krillian asked.

“Oh crap…..she's right,” goku realized. “How come I didn't realize it earlier!?”

“Blaze is an expert at hiding her aura,” Mouse informed Goku.

“Nevermind that…we better find her now,” Robin told Goku. “Do you know where she went?”

“I'm not sure exactly,” Goku told her. “I think she was down the street from here,”

“Then let's move!” Magpie commanded. “we have a neomancer to save!”

“Hold on a second—if I know Blaze, she'll have markers all around the area already,” Robin told them.

“Markers?” Goku asked Robin.

“Yes. Once she deploys these it makes it easier for her to find whatever. She could also go after us if she senses us. It's a power granted those of planet Karvos.” Robin explained. “That is why we must wait to help Sparrow,”

“But why is she here?” Krillian asked.

“To evolve into a more powerful being,” Mouse explained.

“Then it's without a doubt she's gone after Sparrow,” Piccolo realized.

Sparrow was enjoying her walk. Earth was a beautiful planet. Birds chirped as they fluttered from tree to tree. It was in the middle of fall. Flowers were still out. One house had big bunches of mums, each in vibrant colors. Winter's grasp was inching closer as she felt chills from the wind. The flourishing summer and fall seasons were winding down. The leaves dropped their regal green coloring for more flashy colors. Sparrow sighed. She was so busy enjoying her walk that she did not sense the oncoming danger looming ahead. “Oh shit!” the words were still in her mouth as Blaze dropped down in front of her. She had been careless.

“Double shit!” Sparrow realized she was in a residential area. Innocent bystanders could get injured. She was in deep shit. Sparrow couldn't even fly to get out of the neighborhood.

“Miss me?” Blaze taunted. “Surrender to me now or I'll destroy this neighborhood,”

“You know I won't do that,” Sparrow told her.

“Then it's your fault that everyone dies!”

A little girl stepped outside. “Are you in trouble, ma'am?” called the child politely.

“No, I'm fine. Go back inside and play with your toys,” Sparrow couldn't involve the innocent with her problems.

“It's a treat for me. I'll drain this child's energy. Then it will be on your conscious that she died,” The child stared up at Blaze, petrified with fear. The minute Blaze touched the child, she let out an ear piercing scream. “Mommy! Daddy!”

“Emily!” screamed a panicked voice. “Harold, come quick! Grab the shotgun!”

“Damn you,” said Sparrow, tears rolling down her cheeks. “you won't get away with this,”

The kid became an empty husk as Blaze drained the rest of her energy. Her own powers were useless. They would create mass destruction.

If she touched Blaze when she fed, her own powers would get drained. It might even kill her. That happened to her best friend, Tish, on Astos. Tish and Sparrow were fighting Blaze's mother at the time. As the parasite queen started to feed, Tish psychically tried to prevent the death of her father. Blaze's mother stopped feeding on Tish's father and then begun to feed off Tish instead. Tish died in minutes.

“Leave the kid alone,” Remembering Tish, Sparrow jumped on Blaze. Blaze had the warning look of a cornered dog.

“Don't interrupt my feeding,” Blaze snapped at her. A beam of psychic power came from Blaze's forehead. It enveloped Sparrow, who was suspended in mid-air. “Put me down!” she snarled.

“When I'm done with my snack, I'll finish you off,” promised Blaze.

The kid screamed louder as Blaze finished feeding.

Emily's parents came out. They were understandably shaken. Harold took aim with the shotgun.

“Unless you want a fate like your kid, don't even try it,” Blaze warned them. Harold hesitated.

“Harold, do something!” his wife screamed. She looked around frantically for anything to throw at the woman. Finding no rocks, the wife took off her sneakers. She hurled one at Blaze. Blaze moved her head slightly to the side. “Oh, you must want to die, too,” Blaze laughed. “After I kill your brat, you can join her in hell,” she told the mother.

Goku fired a ki-blast at Blaze. Blaze screamed as he scored a direct hit. ”Dammit, one after another, all ruining my lunch!” Two things happened: Sparrow crashed to the ground and the innocent kid`s heart gave out.

“Get away from them!” Goku told Blaze. Emily's parents stared dumbfounded at their hero. “Go on, get out of here!” he instructed them.

No need for encouragement, they grabbed Emily's corpse and ran into the house.

Goku and the rest ran up to Sparrow, who began weeping as she thought of her past.

“Sparrow, what happened?” Goku asked.

“She killed her! She fucking killed an innocent child!” Sparrow wanted to puke, she was crying so hard.

“I'm going to kick her ass. I will kill her for this,” Sparrow promised herself.

Goku stared at Sparrow. He had never seen a person cry so hard in his life “Did you do this?” he demanded, pointing at a weeping Sparrow.

“Figure it out for yourself, dip shit,” Blaze smirked. “This will happen to you if you don't submit to planet Karvos,”

“The hell I will-,”Goku had never felt so angry in his life. He clenched his fists. “Here is two words for just for you: Spirit. Bomb.”

“That will be the last thing you will ever see,” Sparrow's. eyes flashed. Her voice was ice cold. It was an ominous prophecy.

“Even if I die, my brethren will still live. I have a daughter already,” Blaze laughed. “I'll destroy this neighborhood if you try to attack me,”

“Why don't you stop hiding and fight us?” Sparrow asked her.

“I don't have time to fight you, but I will kill you someday. Just not today,” Blaze smirked. “I'll be back,”

“I will beat the fucking shit out of her,” Sparrow promised.

Goku cursed. “There will be other opportunities,”

"I can't wait,” Sparrow said darkly.

Sparrow's family ran up then. “Why is Sparrow crying?” asked Robin.

Goku explained everything, from Sparrow's breakdown to Blaze's murder.

“I'm sorry you went through this,” Mouse told his sister.

“It's…..okay..,” Sparrow assured her brother.

“You are lying,” Mouse said to Sparrow. Then he gave her a hug.

In truth, Sparrow felt like crying. She felt so sorry for Emily's parents. She wished she could have saved her. She also wished things weren't they way they were.

“Sparrow, it's time to go,” Goku told her.

Sparrow said nothing for a minute then nodded. She sniffed, wiping her eyes. “Let's go,”

She walked off, followed by the rest.

As they got home, the mood was somber, Sparrow went to the guest room to cry some more. She still wasn't over it. She soon fell asleep. She woke up to an argument. Magpie was in the middle of an argument with Vegeta.

"Hm. That sounds like a challenge." Vegeta mused.

"You forget I am a guardian of Astos. We may be just humanlike in strength, but we're a team. You take me on, you take us on,"

"That sounds like loser talk to me."

"Don't make me mad,” Magpie advised him.

"Is that a threat?” Vegeta asked in amusement. “Where's the rest of your army?”

“You can handle this stupid fight alone,” Robin said. “I'm bowing out,”

The others voiced their agreement.

“Screw the rest of you. This is my fight,” Magpie grinned.

“Stop it, Magpie,” Sparrow said. “I've had enough conflict for one day,”

“Oh c'mon. Let's put him in his place,”

“Do it yourself,” Sparrow told her sister. “I have better things to do,”

Goku sighed. “She's wrong if she thinks one battle will do that,”

“If you want to fight so badly, go to the training room,” Chi Chi said, rolling her eyes.

“Yeah, good idea,” Mouse said. “don't drag us into your silly fight,”

“You guys are all asses,” Magpie declared. She smirked at Vegeta. “Let's rumble,”

“Alright. I guess you want a world of hurt,” Vegeta shrugged. “I'll play with you,”

Goku shook his head. “Unbelievable,”

"How did you guys do that?" Piccolo asked. "You guys aren't from earth are you?"

"No we're from planet Astos, We're its guardians, and our deity, the peahen, gives all guardians divine powers to protect it," Robin explained.

~Just as Master Roshi told us~ Goku thought.

"We were a peaceful planet until Maijin Buu arrived. Maijin Buu destroyed everything, including the stead hold of our planet, the elders. Everything we knew and loved was destroyed. We didn't have the strength to fight off planet Karvos' invasion, let alone Maijin Buu, " added Magpie.

"What's planet Karvos?" Gohan asked.

"Planet Karvos is a planet, home the most warlike race, the space parasites. They are ruled by a queen. In order to make her evolve, they go from planet to planet, gathering energy from living beings. Once they collect all the living energy, they invade the planet." Mouse chimed in.

"With the arrival of the Karvos army and Maijin Buu, our planet was mostly destroyed," said Crowe. "Now its queen, mad in her lust for power, chased us here in order to evolve."

"We are called neomancers, in short. But Sparrow is a rare breed...an ultramancer."

"Ultramancer?" Goku repeated.

"Sparrow is easily the strongest psychic we have ever seen. If her heart chooses darkness over light, there may be no way to stop her." Jay advised.

"We are sorry we brought such a being onto your planet. Your planet may be destroyed," Crowe said.

"There has to be one way to defeat such a being,” Goku said.” There has to be a way,”

"We don't want to hurt our sister." Robin said.

"Oh, that complicates things, doesn't it?” Goku mused.

Everyone left it at that.

Sparrow woke up a week later. She was so exhausted from all that had happened in the past few weeks. Robin explained Sparrow's condition: by repressing her powers, it made her overtired. It was evening when Sparrow collapsed at the dinner table. “Sparrow, are you ok?” Robin has asked her. “you're not eating,”

“I'm not feeling good,” Sparrow fell onto the floor, causing hysterics at the table. Everyone made exclamations of concern. It was a good thing Mouse was a pre med student back on Astos or they would have called the hospital.

“She's been repressing her power from the moment she was on earth,” Mouse examined Sparrow. “She's exhausted,”

“What will we do?” Goku asked Mouse.

“We can't do anything until she wakes up,” Mouse said. “It's a good idea to put her in a bed while she rests,”

The house was on pins and needles since they feared that Sparrow would not wake up. As a last resort, Chi Chi tried to keep them busy with little trips. But she could see the worry in their eyes. They decided to go grocery shopping, since Goku and sons ate everything (again).Chi Chi decided to watch over the house and Sparrow, who was still unconscious. She heard a moan five minutes later. The girl lived! Her heart swelled as she went to greet the girl. “hello?” she asked softly.

The woman looked pretty groggy. ”Where am I? Who are you?"

"I'm Goku's wife, Chi Chi. I'll explain everything later after you eat,”

"Hello.."

"Are you hungry?"

"No" she said but her stomach begged to differ. It growled loudly. Hot blood flushed her cheeks. "Oh...um,"

The woman ate heartily. She was two thirds through with her meal when she dropped her tea cup, gasping. Her eyes were wide with panic.

Chi Chi asked, "What's the matter?"

"I feel something dark approaching, ...Blaze!"

"What?"

"Chi Chi, don't ask questions. Just get out of here, quickly. Your life depends on it."

She fled. Even Chi Chi could sense her approaching. She felt more and more panic as she drew closer and closer. “…Goku..”

Sparrow felt naked without her family to protect her. She would have to face Blaze alone. She ran outside to face her when her eyes beheld a horrible sight: a struggling Chi Chi in Blaze's iron like grip. "You know it's one thing I can't stand..it's cowards who try to run away..."

"Let her go. Don't involve her in this. This is between us both,"

"Let's involve this human to make it fun."

"Let's not. Let her go. NOW!” Sparrow commanded. The planet trembled with her words.

"Whoa-a-a! She's getting angry!" mocked Blaze.

"How dare you-" she was turning silver before she knew it. She felt the play of the world, The significance of each person. Each person had a heart beat she must protect. First things first. She was going to make her pay. “You've obviously got a death wish. I haven't forgiven you for what you did to that kid,”

“I had forgotten the energy of a child for ages.” Blaze told her. “It was refreshing,”

“You are a monster,” Sparrow proclaimed.

“And you're a weakling. You have the power to rule this galaxy. Using power for good is a waste,” Blaze told her in amusement.

“Says you. This galaxy belongs to nobody, least of all YOU!”

“Don't act self-righteous, Sparrow. You're the one who destroyed that galaxy long ago,”

“Don't you even DARE to compare me to you!” Sparrow snapped. “That was a total accident,”

“It doesn't matter. You still destroyed that galaxy, along with that Jason guy,”

“Damn you to hell, you bitch!” Sparrow stomped up to Blaze. She delivered one solid punch to Blaze's face. Blaze went flying backwards. She landed on her back. Sparrow was on her in seconds. Sparrow cried as she kept scoring hits on Blaze. Blaze was grinning despite her beatdown. Veins stood out on her arm as she choked Blaze. She could feel the bones of Blaze's throat. Blaze was gagging as precious air thinned out.

“Sparrow!” It was Goku. Lucky for him he got there in time. He saw Sparrow's breakdown. He feared for the galaxy's sake. He had to get there before she murdered Blaze. “That's enough, Sparrow. You've made your point,”

“No…I haven't yet,” Sparrow resisted as Goku tried to separate them. It took most of his strength to do so.

“Let it go, Sparrow,” Goku advised. “There will be other times. Just not now,”

“Let me go! Don't try to stop me!” Sparrow wriggled to get out of his grasp.

“Sparrow, that's ENOUGH!” Goku had to slap her to wake her up. A cry to hold him he'd make contact. The woman went flying backwards. She had a red hand mark on her face. Tears rolled down her face as she stood up.

“You're lucky there are civilians here or I'd let her annihilate you,” Goku told Blaze.

“Mercy will get you nothing,” Blaze was shaken. Her lip, nose and left eye were swollen. She had cuts and bruises all over her face. She had a bloody nose. It turned at an angle which suggested it was broken.

“I don't understand why I gave her a beat down like that,” Sparrow said later on. “I'm not that type of person..,”

“Don't worry about it…she deserved it,” Goku told her.

“If you say so,” Sparrow didn't look convinced.

*****************************************

Piccolo turned on the tv. A frightened looking woman was on it. It wasn't any other frightened woman. It was the mayor of Pearl City. "To the denizens of Pearl City...I have an announcement..."

Maijin Buu was on there next. "We'll have a tournament to decide earth's fate. If I win, earth will be destroyed. If I lose, earth will be spared, and you will all go on to live your normal lives. All warriors better show up at the Pearl City arena, at noon in three days..."

Piccolo contacted Goku next. "You better start training," he said grimly. "You're going to need it,"

Piccolo notified everyone of the situation. They had mixed reactions. Vegeta and Magpie began their training immediately after the challenge issued by Buu, while Goku and company worried. Could they defeat him?

*************************************************

 

It was the day of the tournament. The entire city showed up. Warriors of all shapes and sizes showed up. Maijin Buu easily defeated most his opponents. It all boiled down to the next fighter. Everyone hoped this fighter would win. The people were not willing to die any time soon. “This is it….the final fight. It is Mr. Buu versus Sparrow,”

“What?!” Sparrow dropped her cookie. Shocked exclamations filled the arena. The people weren't too sure she'd win. “We are screwed,” Sparrow heard one guy.

"Everything is at stake here," Robin said. "We must be as one to help Sparrow out at all costs,"

The others nodded.

“I won't let him win,” Sparrow locked gazes with Buu. Buu noted her ice cold stare of determination. A slight chill rose up his spine.

“How are you going to defeat him?” Mouse asked.

“Let me worry about that,” Sparrow said.

“Are you sure you can do this?” Robin asked Sparrow.

“As I said before, let me worry about it,

 

 

Maijin Buu smiled then stopped. This was his chance for revenge. She who denied him so much would not live! Then he was also reminded of the time she unleashed her power. He wasn't even sure she had displayed her full strength. For the first time in ages he felt a tiny shred of fear. He didn't even want to think of what would happen to him when she got through with him. He even doubted that, to accomplish his mission of her death, he would probably also…

"Maijin Buu begins with a charge to the next victim- oops, I mean fighter! He missed! Now They're circling each other... he's pressing his attack! She's not holding up! He has scored several hits on her already!" narrated the announcer.

Sparrow was not holding up well at all. 200 fists were pounding away at her.

"We've got to do something," worried Jay. "He's going to cream her,"

"I suggest the Kenetic Beam. It's the strongest attack we have. It might tilt the fight in her favor." Robin said.

"How can we do that? We're not close enough to pool together our powers." Mouse said.

"We donate our powers to her. They'll pool together in her..." Robin said figuratively. "Now everyone concentrate," the air hummed and cackled with their neomantic powers. Strength poured into those who did not normally have the power. The bond seared a stinging power into Sparrow's heart. She lifted her chin. She was already silver before she knew it. ~Everyone, let's give Buu what he deserves~ Sparrow thought.

~Right~ replied the others.

Buu noticed a calm expression on the girl's face. He wondered what was going on. Something was up. "Maijin Buu..." said the girl. "This is for the destruction of Astos,"

He sensed a greater power than usual coursing through her veins. He barely had time to build a shield. The next thing he knew he was screaming in pain. Blackness creeped up on him. He caught a glance of the earth disappearing underneath him before he lost consciousness...

Back on earth, Sparrow had fainted along with her family. The entire planet earth rocked with cheers. They would live another day!

Sparrow said. "I'm sorry I caused all this trouble for you, Goku," Then she fainted. Mouse caught her as she fell to the ground.

"Don't worry about it," Goku said off handedly.

"No wonder this planet survived for so long. It had a fine guardian of its own," Mouse said.

Goku nodded. "Do you really have to leave?" he went on.

"Your planet can't handle me. I'll find a planet that will...someday..." Sparrow said.

"You really are under a curse, aren't you? Most people will do anything to have your power." Gohan observed.

"I can't put innocent beings at risk,"

"How about you guys? Are you going, too?"

"Yes. We need to rebuild our planet. From there we will make a utopia,"

“A utopia? What a bunch of bullshit!” interjected a familiar voice. “They don't exist!”

“What will exist is your bloody corpse when I'm done with you!!” Sparrow promised. “Come down here and fight me,”

“I've been wanting to kick your ass for a long time now,” Blaze told Sparrow.

“The feeling's mutual,” Sparrow returned, unleashing a blast towards Blaze. Blaze dodged, leaping high into the air unleashing energy balls of her own. Sparrow ran up the tree, grabbing a huge branch. Using the branch she defended herself against Blaze's attacks.

Sparrow had grabbed another branch on the tree. The plan was to hit Blaze with the tree branch. It snapped in half as Blaze kicked her hand. “It's not time to play,” Blaze warned Sparrow. She kicked the flying shit out of Sparrow. Sparrow grunted, as the kick spiraled her out of the way. She felt dizzy. She tried to get up, but Blaze leaped onto her in seconds. “Don't get up!” Blaze advised Sparrow. Blaze stomped down. “Taste dirt, bitch!” she kept on stomping. Sparrow yelled out each time she did. Blaze's foot repeatedly crashed down in Sparrow's face because Sparrow rolled onto her back.

“I am victorious!” laughed Blaze. “This planet is mine for the taking!”

“I'm not finished yet,” Sparrow got up. She clenched her fists. Silver energy created a halo around them.

“Just give up. You'll have your miserable life ahead of you,” Blaze suggested. They circled each other, both looking for a weakness.

“I can't let you go on like that. This planet belongs to those who were born on it,” Sparrow explained. “I'm not giving up, either!!”

“You are so stupid,” Blaze smirked. “you are picking a fight with the queen of planet Karvos,”

“And you are picking a fight with the guardian of a planet!” Sparrow countered. She unleashed a huge energy ball. Blaze copied her. Both energy balls merged together to create a huge crater in the ground. A thunderous explosion happened. As soon as the dust cleared, Sparrow ran into the crater and crashed into Blaze with a head butt. Blaze went flying backwards but didn't lose her footing. She laughed as she ran up to Sparrow and kicked her hard enough for her to lose some teeth. Sparrow screamed from the pain, spitting out blood as she struggled to get up. She folded over, trying to ignore her pain.

Blaze kneed Sparrow in the stomach. Sparrow crumpled to the ground. Then what followed what could only be described as a gruesome beatdown. Blaze smiled like a mad woman as she beat the crap out of Sparrow. Blood splattered onto the shoes of Sparrow's horrified family. “Oh my God, she's going to murder her!” Gohan said, amazed. He had never seen a beat down from a woman like that.

“What's wrong with Sparrow?” Krillian asked Mouse. “She's just taking it,”

“Nothing is wrong. She's just not mad enough.” Mouse replied.

“What?” Krillian asked. “When will she reach her boiling point?”

“Soon,” Mouse assured Krillian.

“I'd say she reached it already,” Robin said. Each blow from Blaze rolled off her back as if it were water.

It took all her strength to stand. Her stomach burned with fury and acid. “Don't you EVER hurt me!”

The planet rocked as Sparrow turned silver. No one could see the outline of her body. The power of her aura bled into the earth making a huge craters in the ground. Lighting flashed from the sky. Solid rock melted away as Sparrow took steps forward. Blaze smirked at Sparrow. “Is this show done already?”

“Not even close,” Sparrow's voice echoed. I'll do what I promised… I'll kick your mother FUCKING ass to hell,” she added in a high powered energy ball which was a mile wide. She casted it towards Blaze. Blaze laughed as her shields went up. “Even with all your power you are unable to hurt me,”

“Spirit bomb…,” Goku had been powering up on the side. Sparrow took the object, ramming it full tilt into Blaze's face. Blaze laughed then, “What?!” she heard her shield shatter. Sparrow watched the fireworks as the spirit bomb annihilated Blaze. A huge explosion followed. Sparrow landed on the ground about 30 feet away from her family, who had taken shelter behind Goku. “Sparrow, are you alright?!” asked Crowe.

No answer. She was unconscious.
