Sharra sat on the bench nursing her bruised arm, watching Goku fight
through the last of the elimination matches.  She glanced at the cast
that was holding her arm in place for the moment and sighed.  Well, she
hadn't been totally outclassed, but certainly she had had a snowballs
chance in a blast furnace of winning.  She was amazed at Goku's fighting
skill, and wondered what world that he came from that would have
produced so extraordinary a warrior...

 Sharra looked back at the fight, looking over her strategy and
wondering if there was anything that she could have done better.  The
fight had started out, and nearly ended, with she and Goku trading some
basic martial arts attacks.  That was where she had gotten hurt, when
one attack that Goku seemingly feinted had turned out to be the real
deal, and she had been forced to block it with her arm.  Sharra winced
at the though of the crack she heard when that blow hit home.  Goku had
backed off and apologized, suggesting that they up their combat levels
to make the battle more challenging.

 Sharra had activated her armor, flying high to avoid the energy attacks
that Goku had sent her way.  She countered by lashing out with the cord
on the end of her dagger, but Goku dodged that attack with ease.  Sharra
and Goku traded shots for at least fifteen minutes, and Sharra had at
that point allowed hope that victory was in her grasp to rise within
her.

 She thought she would have learned.  At that point, a golden aura had
flashed around Goku, and things had gone down hill.  Sharra had blocked,
punched and dodged, finally unleashing her TeknoBolt on Goku to no
avail.  Finally, Goku had countered with a rapid series of energy bolts
that had knocked her out of the ring.
 She sighed as Goku had helped her to her feet, telling her that he had
enjoyed the fight, and that if she trained hard she would do better next
year.  Sharra looked around.  Next year...  well, apparently she was
stuck here for at least an eternity, with only the second generation
Teknos to work on...  perhaps she would be able to defeat Goku one day.

 Finally the tournament ended, with Goku trouncing Pikehan and winning
the tournament.  There was a short celebration following the awards
ceremony, and Sharra stopped by long enough to see her name inscribed in
the 8th slot of the eternal plaque, commemorating the competition.  Not
really one for such celebrations, Sharra walked to the vast expanse of
yellow cloud that stretched across the infinity of the afterlife, taking
in only a momentary glance before jumping in.  After all, when one was
searching for the Mother, why would one wish to look for her in Hell?

 Sharra had no idea what the future was about to bring.

...

 The wind swept through the mountains, cold enough to freeze the blood
of a normal man.  But the figure who stood upon the rocky ledge was
obviously not a normal man, for he stood against the gale force winds
without any effort at all.  Finally, he turned at walked away from the
ledge to the slightly covered area he had constructed only days
earlier.  He stood, savoring the triumph that would soon be at hand.

 From within a pocket, her produced an orange sphere, marked by only a
single star.  Then, he produced another, this one bearing two stars.
Then another, with three of the black stars.  He continued in this
fashion until arrayed on the ground before him was a series of seven
balls, each marked with a corresponding number of stars, arranged in a
hexagonal pattern.  The man smiled.  "At last...  the Dragon Balls."

 Standing up, he flung both of his arms to the sky and shouted "SHEN
LON, COME OUT NOW!!!!"

 A crackle of primal energy lashed through the air from the dragon
balls, racing into the air to lash against the clouds above.  The
atmosphere crackled with pure power as the Eternal Dragon Shen Lon arose
from his fiery lair.

 "What is your wish?"  the great voice asked.  It boomed across the
mountain valleys and peaks, shaking ice from the tops of the highest
mountains of the world with its intensity.

 Not swayed by the dragons booming voice, the human threw his arms
outwards, and the wind lashed around him.  "Here me, Shen Lon!  I wish
that the two most powerful warriors to battle Son Goku would be
resurrected, to battle in life once again!!!"

 Shen Lon floated there for a moment, then answered.  "You wish is
granted."

 The dragon flashed, vanishing into a sphere of light.  The dragon balls
rocked to the four winds, to be scattered over the face of the earth.
The man no longer cared about that, however, as two figures materialized
on the ground before him.  "Excellent...  my warriors, who will help me
crush the Z fighters!  VICTORY WILL BE MINE!!!"

...

 Sharra staggered to her feet, glancing around her at the wasteland of
ice and snow that swirled around her.  To her side, a figure stood
laughing insanely, chanting about how is ultimate warriors had been
delivered to him.  To her side, also on the ground, was a warrior,
certainly not human.  In fact, he looked like a cross between a reptile,
a bug, and a man.

 "Ah, my warrior...  a woman?  You are one of the most powerful warriors
to have battle Son Goku?"  the man looked at Sharra with a condescending
expression on his face.  She sensed a familiar aura radiating from
him...  of course, apparently he was another Teknos.  Sharra watched as
her companion also rose to his feet.  The Teknos looked him over an
smiled.  "Ah, now HERE we have a proper warrior.  Cell, in Perfect
Form.  You will help me to destroy the Son Family."

 Cell looked down on the warrior.  "And why should I help you?  I can
destroy the Son family on my own."  The Bio warrior turned and began to
walk away from the ledge.

 "DAMN YOU!!!  I RESTORED YOU, AND I CAN CRUSH YOU!!!!!!"  The Teknos
was frothing at the mouth now, literally throwing his rage at Cell.
Cell brushed him off, leaping into the air and flying towards the nearby
peaks.

 The Teknos swore profusely and leapt off the ledge, transforming into
his armor during the drop.  Sharra watched as he shot off after Cell,
over the horizon.  "What does he think he's doing?"  Sharra muttered as
she summoned her own crystal out of its extra-dimentional pocket.
Transforming into Teknos Dagger, she wondered what world she had landed
on this time.  Best that she should fly about and find out.

 The blue flash shot off of the ledge, rising into the air and out of
sight, leaving only the crater and falling ice that Shen Lon's passing
had created.

...

 Sharra cruised across the landscape outside of a large city, strangely
named Satan City.  She would have to find out how this city had acquired
such a strange name.  But first, she would have to land soon to rest and
recharge her powers.

 Finally she found a place to land as dusk settled over the city.
Lights began to turn on, and Sharra was presented with a rather
beautiful view of Satan City as the lights flashed on in the night.  She
shrugged, have shed her armor a short time ago.  Unwrapping a survival
pack she had flinched from a nearby campsite, she began to settle in for
the night.  With a fire crackling rather cheerfully a few feet away,
Sharra looked up at the sky, resting her head on a rolled up sleeping
bad.  She sighed, shutting her eyes.

...

 "Do you think she's alive?"

 "Of course she's alive, silly.  And we found our survival kit too!"

 "Shhhh..."

 "We don't want to wake her up..."

 "Yeah, looks like she needed it more than us."

 "She's probably upset that we ate all of the food though..."

 "Hush you two.  I think she's awake..."

 Sharra opened her eyes, glancing around.  There were two boys and a
young lady standing there, looking her over.  One of the boys jumped
into the air, his spikey hair flying in all directions.  "Yeah, she's
awake Videl!"

 "Hush you!"  the young woman told the boy.  "Mamn, are you all right?"

 "Yes."  Sharra said, sitting up.  "Thank you for asking though."

 "See, I told you she was alive!"  The other boy, with bowl cut purple
hair, shouted.  "Hey Lady, you hungry?"

 "Why yes, some food would be nice."  Sharra's stomach rumbled.  She
hadn't had anything to eat since she had returned to life, and was quite
ready to eat even trail rations.

 "Well, Im sorry, but we don't have anything to eat right now.  But I do
know a place where we can get some food thought."  Videl helped Sharra
to her feet.  "Allow me to introduce myself.  My name's Videl.  This is
Trunks,"  she pointed to the boy with the purple hair, "and this is
Goten."  She pointed to the other boy.

 Trunks tugged on Vidal's sleeve.  "We're taking them back to my place?"

 "Yeah, I hope your parents wont mind."

 "Mom wont, but then you never know how Pop will take it.  But it should
be all right."  Trunk's grin stretched from ear to ear, the smile of a
boy who knew that they were getting into trouble, and no one could do
anything about it.
