Chapter One
Dawing Approches
[/u][/color][/center][/size]
The next morning I awoke at around 7:30 with a huge headache. I swear I layed in bed for what seemed hours, but had only been a mere fifteen minutes. When I finally did get out of bed, I threw my sheet and blanket over my bed since I didn't feel like fully making it. Slowly, I walked to the door and quietly opened it, looking down one side of the hallway. I was startled, and practically jumped, when I heard footsteps walking up the other side of the hallway. I thought it was Mikey, up for his early morning snack. I turned and opened my mouth to say something, when I saw it wasn't Mikey at all, but it was actually Nappa, rubbing his eyes and yawning as he walked down the tiled hall.
Nappa's my second cousin, and my father's first cousin, which make's him a full-blooded Sayain as well. And the funny thing about Nappa is that the only piece of hair he has is that caterpillar he calls a mustache. It's kind of a joke between Alex, one of Mikey's sons and me. He always called it the 'Dead Caterpillar' when we were younger.
As he took his hands off his eyes to see and close his mouth, a grin came on his face.
Oh crap I thought jokefully. I've been spotted.
"Well look at this," he said with a smile as he passed."Chicken littles finally awake." I began to follow him as he passed, jokfully punching him in the back. He couldn't help but laugh at me.

Frankly, Nappa decide to leave and go to the kitchen, so I was myself walking for a bit. That is, until, I came into the computer room. We call it the computer room because professor has this huge computer with four mini screens, as well as a table with four chairs. And of course, I knew I was right about Mikey's early morning snack. He was eating pancakes at the table. I swear, he could eat a mountain full of pancakes and not get fat, which to me is un-natural. And of course, Majin Buu was sitting across from him, eating a chocolate bar. I swear, when he's "Fat" Majin Buu, a forum everyone catches him in, like now, and you gave him a bunch of chocolate bars or candy, he would love you forever. Well, not literally, anyway.
I met Majin Buu when Alex and I were about thirteen, and Majin Buu was evil. Or should I say stupid. Well anyway, he killed my dad, and not a really long time later, Hercule, Gohan's wife's dad, visited Buu's chocolate house and be-friend-ed him. So he's been with us as a good guy ever since.
Mikey paused for a moment before sitting up straight and turning to me."Oh, hey," he said. Slowly he turned back to the pancakes and starting eating again.
"Hey to you, too," I murmured. Majin Buu looked at me once before grabbing another chocolate bar and eating again. I swear, fat Buu may be fun, but he is kinda rude. I gave a sigh before walking over to the table, pulling out a chair next to Mikey and kind of collapsing into it, putting my elbows on the table and resting my head on my fists.
"What's wrong with you?," Mikey asked, pushing the empty, pretty syrupy plate, gulping down the last bit of pancakes in his mouth down his throat.
I shook my head. "Nothing," I said to him as I heard Buu put yet another candy bar rapper on the table.
"Ya know, I think Alex is outside," he said smiling as he stood up with the plate. "I know he took Moogle with him, and I bet Moogle stored a hover board in his storage compartment."
I stood up, kind of smiling as Mikey walked out of the room. I looked to Buu. "Wanna go?," I asked, heading to the hallway were the door was.
"No," he said, which sounded more like 'Nuh' than 'Nuh.' I sighed and shook my head.
I like Super Buu better I thought, slowly opening the door and stepping into the morning dew.
*****
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!I went blasting by my hover board Moogle and Alex following behind. I smiled came on my face as I turned a sharp corner.
"Kc, wait up!" I heard Alex say. I put my foot on the back of my hover board, making the front go up a bit. Slowly, it went to a slow medium speed. Alex quickly flew up beside me.
I have known Alex since I was, well, really young. He had hated me during the long battle with Frieza because he thought I was evil, like my dad and Nappa were before they joined forces to defeat Frieza. When I helped Gohan, his older brother, I was actually able to gain his trust, and we've been friends ever since.
"Thanks," he panted out. He wasn't as fast as I normally am, but like me, he's really smart and has the strength of his dad. Slowly, Moogle floated a circle around us, a bit inpatient.
"Come on," his robotic voice let out, his lens flashing orange as he talked. "Let's keep going while there's still time."
I had made Moogle from Fireza's broken up ship when Mikey had first defeated him. It seemed that Frieza had a super smart super computer, and I put it together as a hover cam since Professor had accidentally gave me the printout to make a Hover-Cam instead of a Super Computer. I even hooked Moogle up to me while building him using wires and a weird helmet so he could have my, dare I say, "brain." I even hooked him up to Mikey while he was passed out.
Alex groaned and rolled his eyes. "We're coming, we're coming," he said as he flew forward. I stood on my hover board for a moment. I was starting to feel as if something were a matter, like I did last night.
"Ya coming?" I heard Alex say, and snapped my self back to reality.
"Yeah, sorry," I said, nodding a bit before turning me hover board and lurching forward quickly."Aw, not again!" I could hear Alex say as I went ahead. I chuckled, hearing Moogle's stream behind me as I went a little lower to my hover board.
And maybe I was going a little too fast, because next thing I know, I was skidding to the ground. I turned to my back after I feel, and looked to my hover board. It had gone to it's scroll-like forum.
"You blasted idiot!" I could someone say as Alex and Moogle. I looked up, dropping my head back down with a sigh. It was only Frieza.
Frieza is Cooler's younger, and much stronger, brother. He joined us when he was still kinda joined up with Meta Cooler, and well, Cooler tried to kill him to drain his energy. Goten had somehow talked to Frieza, getting him to join up with us until Cooler was killed. And I guess it's kinda been working out.
I slowly sat up and looked over to Frieza. He was getting up from balancing on knee, giving me kind of a scowl. I heard foot steps, and jerked my head over to see Alex racing over, Moogle not far behind.
"Are you okay?" Alex said as he stopped a few feet in front of me.
I nodded, slowly getting to my feet.
"Yeah," I said. "I'm fine." I looked to Frieza, who was brushing the dirt off his stomach. "You okay?" I asked.
"Better than being killed by my brother is all I can say," he sighed, dropping his hands to his side and looking back up to Alex.
"True," I said, shrugging a bit. So I guess that day didn't really turn out as planned.
*****
Well, we said see ya to Freiza and finally got to get out-side the walls of the out-door lab area. Well, as long as we brought Goten along, which wasn't too fun.
"This is awesome!" he laughed. He was ahead of us as Alex and I flew behind, I myself squatting on the hover board as it coasted quickly along. Goten looked back at us as we stayed ahead."Uh, what's wrong guys?" he asked.
Goten is Alex's and Gohan's younger, and somewhat annoying, brother. He's about thirteen right now, about the age Alex and I were when we fought Majin Buu.
"Oh, nothing," Alex sighed. I could tell he was a bit annoyed at us having to bring him. But at least I didn't have to bring my brother. Actually, he was my adopted brother, but I still called him my brother.
I sighed a bit before fully standing and leaning to the front of the hover board, making it go a bit faster, all the way past Goten. I could tell Goten might a been a bit confused, but Alex knew me better, and knew how hyper I could be if I didn't go at a fast pace from time to time.
"Well where ya going?" Goten asked confusingly. I turned my head to him, one of my eyebrows raised.
"To Alaska," I said sarcastically. Goten couldn't help but chuckle but, Alex just shook his head. My joke weren't as hilarious as Mikey's, but they did make sense. Normally. With a smile, and looked forward, taking a big breath, only to pause for a moment. Strong energy was getting closer, but wasn't coming to us. Slowly, I let the air out I had sucked up.
"Hey Alex," I said, looking causily for anything to pop out. "Do you feel that?"
I looked back to him, and he was already looking around. I'll take that as a yes I thought, turning my attentions ahead of me.
"Feel what?" Goten asked. I looked over to him, and he was looking around frantically, as if something was gonna jump out and attack him. He may be able to turn Super-Sayain, but he wasn't the best at sensing energy.
"Nothing," Alex said, taking a look behind him. "Just keep going." Goten nodded and looked forward. I couldn't help but sigh as I looked down. I swear, siblings must be the worse.
"Kc, look out!" I heard Alex shout. But when I looked up, I was already too late.
I could feel my feet go of the hover board as I hit something that felt like a tree, but with wings. I used my legs to hit my-self from a tree, although I had nothing to hang onto, and after a few moments I hit where the tree's roots lay, and everything went black.
*****
My eyes popped open to see clear skies above. My breath was hard and heavy, and my mind was still trying to figure out what had happened could hear rustling a few feet away. I scattered to a crouching position only to see it wasn't danger, but the big green blob we called Cell on his hands and knees with one hand on his head.
"Well why the d'you do that for?" he asked almost angered as he stumbled to his feet. "Why don't ya were 'yer goin?"
Now see, if I didn't talk about Cell earlier, now's a good time. Let's just say he has some anger issues. No, a LOT of anger issues. Because of a robotic bee Dr Gero, Cell's creator, sent out to spy on Mikey, Cell is, all in all, part Mikey, part my dad and part Frieza. Confusing I know, but once you get used to him, he's not so bad. Once you get pasted all of the meanness, that is. Slowly, I stumbled to my feet, my vision still a little burrly from the fall. I could hear Alex and Goten calling for me from a ways away, I turned slowly as I looked around.
"Hello?" Cell's voice startled me. "Can't you hear me? What the 's wrong with you? I asked where the you're heading." To put it in the best way possible, because Cell's partly my dad, he has kind of a sailors mouth. I swear he knows every word in the book.
"Alex, Goten and I where just exploring," I told him, my vision slowly clearing. After a moment, I could hear Alex's voice again, and this time is was near. I turned to where I could hear it and took in a deep breath, cupping my hands over my mouths. "We're over here!" I shouted. I lowered my hands and panted a bit before looking on the ground.
"Oh, yeah right," he said, remarking the 'where just exploring' thing I said. But of course, I was already scanning the ground for my hover board. "And he doesn't listen to me," I could Cell say. I looked up a bit to see his head and arms drooped a bit.
I smiled and chuckled a bit as jogged over to my hover board, which was lying under an oak tree, and under an oak tree.I could hear Alex's voice hover above.
"Dammit, now! Where over here!" Cell yelled loudly.Like I said, sailor's mouth.I cracked up laughing as I heard Alex give an "alright" to Cell's call. Within a few minutes, Alex landed a few feet away from me, and Goten came raging through the bushes, face all red. I could tell he had been running.
"What are you guys doing down here?" he asked, I my-self knowing the question was pointed to wards Cell and I. I shrugged.
"We're just, uh.." Cell started. Then he grinned."What the hell do you think we're doing?" Goten looked around.
"Uh, standing around in the middle of nowhere?" Goten asked, looking around in confusion. I made a fake gasp.
"Naw, really?" I said sarcastically, breathing out a bit. Alex laughed and Cell chuckled, shaking his head. Alex stopped laughing after a minute.
"And what are
you doing out here?" he asked Cell. I couldn't help but look at him too, because, Cell normally doesn't go out-side the lab walls with-out having a reason, or going somewhere with one of us or Mikey. Cell looked up, particly a frown on his face, and shrugged.
"Would you believe me if I said that I thought Cooler was around here somewhere?" he asked."I felt strange energy, and I thought it was him." He chuckled and crossed his arms, and smile on his face. "Of course, I knew it couldn't be
your energy."
Yeah I thought. And I know it couldn't be your energy I felt, either[/i]. I couldn't help but chuckle as Alex went on.
"And I know it wasn't you energy we felt either," Alex mocked back, almost as if he were reading my mind. "After all, you are weaker than Cooler. I've seen you two battle. And wasn't it you who lost, not Cooler?" Oh, now that definitely got Cell's weak spot.
You see, he battled once with Cooler when he had hurt CJ, which stand for Cell Jr, Cell's one of seven sons of whom is the only one who can speak English, and CJ's pretty smart, too. To tell you the truth, I think he's pretty cool. Well, anyway, Cell tried to fight back, but almost lost his life in the end, if it wasn't for Nappa who was able to crush Cooler into a rock, which made him run off because of his wounds.
Cell suddenly put his arms to his side, a mad look coming upon his face. He turned his hands into fists and stepped forward a bit. Alex couldn't help but take a step back, for Cell was pretty scary when he was mad.
"I don't think you wanna mess with me, boy," he said, opening one of his hands to create a blast. Alex began to flinch to take in the blast when it fired, and Goten was still awed, looking from Cell to Alex and back. I took one gulp and jumped in the feet separating Cell and Alex, holding out both arms showing Cell I didn't want him to pass to get to Alex. I creased my forehead a bit.
"Stop this," I said. "Do you really want to kill him?Or," I smiled and crossed my arms, "do I have to get Goten to get Mikey and my dad into this when you kill both Alex and I?"
You see, except for Frieza, when anyone gets a first impression on my dad and Mikey as a combo, it's pretty scary. Both of them are very strong people, and I do mean scary strong, and together, or fused, they are even more powerful. And you wouldn't want to run into a mad Gogetta. Cell sighed and shook his head, crushing the blue blast in his head and releasing his other hand. Alex sighed and stood firmly, un-filching him-self. Goten chuckled, and shaking his head with a smile. You see, ever since I was turned into a Combusken, my friends started calling me the "Peace Maker" because I can easily stop people from fighting, or starting a fight, of which I hate.
"Good job, Kc," Alex said, practically laughing."You did it again." I smiled and looked back at him, smiling, my arms still crossed, and I think could actually hear Cell chuckle at Alex's comment. I smiled again and turned to walk off, when the un-expected happened.
A large
boom! came out of nowhere, and suddenly trees near us blew upward from the blast, sending me back wards since I am, of course, the lightest. I stumbled to my rump, Cell covering his face and Alex skidding to one knee and covering his head to stop anything from falling on it. I could hear Goten let out a loud "Ooof" as he fell back wards. Suddenly, I heard chuckling and looked up.
Naze!The red man had a grin on his face, his green scouter screen over his right eye pouring yellow with sayain words as he examined our power-level.
"Gotten weaker, I see?" he asked, chuckling. You see, Naze is one of two of Cooler's henchmen, and can stretch his arms very far an-
Wait I thought.
If Naze is here, where's....But before I could figure it out, Goten's scream can out loud and clear. I turned quickly, only to see Goten's body go flying, hitting against a tree. My face whipped around to see none other than Muscles.
Muscles, like Naze, was Cooler's henchmen, and he was very strong. He has muscles, and since he really don't really know his real name, we call him Muscles. But frankly, he isn't too bright.
"Goten!" I could hear Alex's voice ring out, and suddenly he ran right to wards his brother, collapsing right next to him. Slowly, I turned to wards Naze, but it seemed he and Cell where already having a conversation.
"Well if it isn't 'ol Nazel," he said, knowing he hated that name."Long time no snot."
"Shut up you big green bozo!" Naze shouted back. "You're just jealous because you know that you're in-superior to me!" Now Cell couldn't help but laugh at that.
"I think you've got it the other way around, my rubbery foe," he said, crossing his arms with a smile.
"Oh, please," Naze laughed. "Like your friends could do anything to Master Cooler."
"Agreed," Muscle breathed, recovering his breath from his laugh. "Like any of you weaklings or any of your friends could defeat our master." He smirked. "You could even end up like Sauza."
Sauza was one of Cooler's henchmen until he got tired of his orders.He came and fought with us, and the last war we fought with Cooler, Sauza got destroyed. Or so we thought. Mikey said he could still feel Sauza's energy, even though everyone saw with their own eyes what happened. He had gotten blown up trying to protect Goten from one of Cooler's most powerful blasts: The Death Blast, like Frieza's death beam, only seven hundred times more larger, and ten thousand times more powerful. Alex wrinkled his nose, and Cell smirked as I pulled my fingers into very tight fists.
"So you shall think that you can beat us?" Cell laughed, putting his arms to his side." I knew only that fools like you should listen to an imbusole like that credent Cooler." He sighed and shook his head. "Oh if only you where as smart as your comrade Sauza. Only then would you have to not to be killed by the likes of me or," he nodded to me, "something that your own master created."
With an angry growl, Naz lurched forward at Cell with some sort of battle cry, a fist in hand. He threw his hand forward as he stopped where he was, his arm stretching without him to wards Cell. With a smirk, Cell raised up one hand, and with a whoosh of air, easily caught it. Cell let out a booming laugh as Naz flinched, pulling back a bit, letting his arm stretch farther.
"Think you could defeat me?" Cell asked, and, without warning, yanked on Naze's hand, sending Naz to wards him. Muscles lurched forward to help his comrade, but was blocked by Alex, who raised up his hands. They locked hands, and pushed steadily back and forth. I gulped and looked to wards Goten, who was wobbly standing up.
"Goten!" I shouted to him. He immediately looked up to me as he heard my voice. "Go and get your dad and the others to help!" I knew Cooler had to be near by, for he wouldn't let his henchmen go fight un-watched.
Goten's forehead creased, his mouth hung open. "But why?" his voice whined out. "I want to stay here and fight with you and my brother!"
"Just trust me," I said sternly. "Go and get Mikey." With a deep breath, he turned and ran, leaping into the air to fly. I swore I could almost hear Goten crying because he couldn't stay. I shook my head, and with-out warning, Alex shouted at me.
"Kc, watch out!" I heard him say. I turned quickly to see that a lot of the blasts that Naz and Cell where firing at each other where coming to wards me. I leapt over one, and dodged the rest as I lurched forward. Muscles came forward at me, and I jumped over him, kicking his head with my foot. He landed on the ground with a loud thud and went skidding into the earth. I sneered a bit as I landed safely on the ground.
"Yeah, alright!" I could hear Alex cheer. A thud came from where Cell was fighting, and I could tell he threw Naz into the rock ledge.
"Lucky throw," Cell said mockingly to me. I chuckled again and turned to wards them, only to be thought out by a familiar voice.
"So, I see you weaklings just may have became stronger," it said."But we shall see when you battle me, correct?" I didn't even have to turn my head to look from whom the voice came from, because one name came into my head.
Cooler![/size][/color][/font]
