Light Of Willpower [Future Trunks x OC]

52: Cell Games

Goku and Cell began their chatting, measuring each other up.

On the side of the ring from the Z Warriors, the tall, burly man caught the saiyaness' attention as he managed to make his way back to the humans. He was alive, she noticed, but he was still injured from his head, it seemed, and blood ran down his forehead.

The announcer was quickly on him to ask what had happened that made him lose the match. Hercule told him he lost his footing, surprising the announcer. But then Piiza backed the Champ up by saying that having a misstep as someone so strong could send you flying. When the announcer seemed skeptical Caroni and Pirozhki insisted it was true.

Hercule chuckled, "Don't worry! Once I take a short break to re-lace my boots, I'll get back in there and squash that wimp! Now. Who. Rules?!"

Pirozhki and Caroni both cheered their teacher's name. Niya lightly sighed as her and the Z Warriors overheard the Hercule team. He seems alright to me, Niya thought.

The Saiyan Prince, however, was taken aback, "That ridiculous man hasn't realized his weakness! His stupidity is beyond belief!"

Hercule, meanwhile, laughed freely with a confident front.

Despite the ridiculous commentary from the humans, the half-saiyan from the future kept his eyes on the fighters in the ring. This is it, Trunks spoke telepathically to his wife, grabbing her attention. Now, we'll see why Goku has been acting so confident all this time.

Niya then turned her crimson eyes to Goku's concentrated face. Yeah, she replied, He has to win.

Everything she believed about Goku was about to happen in front of her. She had heard that Goku was Earth's greatest hero before he was taken by the heart virus. And before, while fighting against Android 19, he wasn't able to fight his best because of the virus once more. And thankfully, he had recovered this time. He had rested, and he had trained. Now would show the fruits of their efforts, the point of her and Trunks time traveling to the past. Goku, their hero in their times of need, was their last hope now.

Niya placed a hand over the Red Jewel unconsciously and thought, wished, Goku, beat him. Defeat Cell. She blocked out out more nonsense from Hercule and the announcer, and she felt a chill as the air in the ring changed.

"Ding," Cell smirked, and immediately, Goku zoomed towards him.

~~~

They were fast, Niya mentally agreed, but she could keep up. If anything, she could use the Red Jewel to help.

The fighters continued to teleport, when suddenly, they teleported in the middle of the Z Warrior's group. The wind picked up as dust clouds grew and surrounded them.

Niya gasped as she felt the fighters' presence behind her. To keep her from harm, Trunks pulled her behind him as he turned to see Cell in the air blocking Goku's punches. Then, in the flash that they arrived, they left, and the dirt and wind cleared.

Trunks' gaze lingered a moment longer before he turned to his wife. "Are you alright?" he asked, lowering a protective arm to his side.

Niya nodded and tilted her head with a pout, "I can take care of myself, you know."

And suddenly, there was a strike of lightning that struck the arena, making Niya jump. Once again, Trunks pulled Niya back, having her stand closely behind him in a protective manner.

Niya peeked to the side of Trunks' arm to see clouds of dust fill the arena. Then, it quickly began to clear, and she could see Goku and Cell attacking and dodging each other evenly. Niya stepped away from behind Trunks and moved to stand at his side again.
