Zone X -- The Colosseum

[The Future Warrior]

One second, she'd been standing near the shore, looking back at Isaac and the flooded area. Then she blinked, feeling the air vibrate and shimmer, with a dull rumbling sound...and then she was gone. The smell of brine was replaced with the acrid tang of scorched earth. There was some kind of strange, gold liquid splattered all over the sandy ground and broken structures. The blue majin took it all in with a quick sweep, trying to get her bearings on what had just happened, and where she was, and...

...and...

The sudden voice of Karl Jak, and his announcement of a 'grudge match' drew her attention to the other two who had appeared. One of them was a human, someone she didn't recognize. The other one was... "Ah! Cell!" Immediately, both hands curled into fists, her easy, curious posture vanishing in an instant. Knees flexed and bent, ready to spring. "I knew I'd run into you again! I'm not running away again, this is where we're supposed to fight!"

"I have no idea what you're talkin' about, you sstrange little...blue...thing," Cell snapped back, but he was already obliging the fight with a ready posture, hands coming up in a clawed posture, knees bent and stance wide and low. Behind him, his tail whipped to and fro, needlepoint gleaming eerily. "But don't make thiss too easy for me. I could use ssome...excerccise before I drink you both."

Graowr wasn't wasting any more words on this. She rocketed forward, kicking up a cloud of sand in her wake. A blur of blue and black, covering several meters in the blink of an eye and charging straight at Cell. "I'm gonna deck you in the schnoz!"

"First off, I don't even have one of those." Cell backpedaled, with no small amount of quickness, both hands flashing to life with orbs of ki. "And second off: screw you." One hand came forward, then the second, Ki blasts hurtled toward the azure affront to Cell's appetite, looking to score a direct hit. Except they didn't.

A small explosion went off in mid air, as ki blast met ki blast, the former time patroller's gloved hand thrown out after tossing it. The other one sailed under her as she leaped up and over it, curling into a flip. One leg shot out, stretching like rubber as it curled back, flailing like a whip with the momentum of her flip and snapping forward to crack into the ground. The impact of her booted heel threw up a cloud of sand as it missed Cell by only a foot or so. "What the ffffff--" The bio-android was cut off in mid-curse. Mostly because of his tattoos electrocuting him, but also because of the sudden death grip on his throat from a gloved hand.

Pink eyes went wide, reptilian slits staring at the blue demon as she came hurtling in, pulling herself along on her outstretched arm. "She's really gonna hit me in the face." Cell had time to realize that before the diminutive hero slammed into him full force, shoulder-first. The wind was knocked out of him, leaving him staggered.

"SCREW..." She flipped forward with the force of her impact, both boots coming down on either shoulder of the imperfect creature's body and sending him face-first into the sandy floor. "...YOU!" She followed through with her momentum, spinning forward. The hand she hadn't grabbed him with came down in a blur, filled with an oscillating orb of angry, orange-gold ki, and discharged the energy at point-blank into the bio-android's face. The resulting explosion left him stunned, and let her flip back out of melee range almost scot free.

But Cell's tail had whipped up, gouging and stabbing at her, delivering three quick jabs at her torso, leaving neat, clean holes in her vest and torso. Not a drop of blood came, but from the way she grit her teeth it was clear it had hurt. "Come on, get up! I still need to actually punch you!" she shouted in challenge, holding up a clenched fist. "Don't tell me you're done yet!"

"Y'know...and here I was thinking thiss was going to be boring..." Cell hissed, slowly getting up to his feet. His face was scorched, and he definitely didn't look happy, but he didn't look all that injured either.

"HEY!" Another voice suddenly broke their focus. "You forget somebody?" They both turned to look to see the human holding a machine gun, aimed at them.

"...oh," Graowr said.

"...well," Cell followed up.

And then the human opened fire, sending both insectoid abomination and azure majin scrambling in opposite directions to avoid the hail of gunfire.

"Oh come on, that's not fair!" the bubblegum girl whined.

"Damn Omniphysics!" Cell screeched.
