Chapter 3 : The Power Within
In a dark room, eight figures were seated at a
crescent shaped table. The room was dimly lit with
torches lining the wall. The light barely lit up the
carving that covered the walls in the room. Most of
the carvings were of dragons in various poses, but the
most significant carving was behind the table. The
carving consisted of a dragon rising into the air.
Surrounding the dragon were seven balls, each one
having one to seven stars on them.
�Where�s the Dragonslayer?!� one of the men said.
The men were seated at the table; each one wore a red
velvet robe, except for the one in the middle. He
wore a green velvet robe with a golden dragon drawn
around it.
�Don�t worry seven, she�s almost here.� As the man in
the green robed stared at the door in front of them.
He was about medium size, with jet-black hair that was
pulled back into a ponytail. He had this sense of
power drawn around him.
The doors opened to the chamber, dressed in a black
hooded cape. The figure walked into the chamber room.
The hood concealed most of the features of the person
walking briskly up to the table. �Good evening
council.� Turning to the person in the middle, and
withdrawing the hood. A beautiful young woman was
presented to the council. �Shenron, here are two of
the Dragonballs.� Opening up a small pouch, she
pulled two orange balls out and presented them to the
man in the green robe.
The council stood up as they took a gaze at the
magical balls. One had a star and the other had six
stars? They watched with fascination as she placed
the balls on the table before them.
Shenron grinned, �Good job Leila, our Dragonslayer.�
As he started to clap. The rest of the council�s
following his action.
Bowing, �Thank-you, as I suspected. The scientist led
me to one of the balls. I dealt with him properly.�
�Good, Good. We�re closer to our goal. These
Dragonballs in the wrong hand could destroy mankind.�
Bowing again, �Yes sir.�
Shenron watched her closely, �Train the next couple of
days. Then we will give you the next location.�
Bowing she left the chamber, closing the door behind
her. �She could be trouble,� as Dragon three turned
to his left at Shenron.
Rubbing his chin, �Yes she has been getting stronger.
Much stronger than I have originally anticipated.�
Thinking, �We shall keep a closer eye on her.�
Picking up a Dragonball, Shenron stared at it with a
smile on his face.
�What about the reports of Gokou�s return. He�s
definitely training vigorously for something.� Dragon
two said nervously, �D�Do you think he�s after us.�
Putting the ball back down, He turned to his left at
Two, �Don�t worry about Gokou. He maybe strong, but
he�s as dumb as they come. He doesn�t even know of
our existence.�
Relieved of the wordds, �What about the strange new
energy level?�
Surprised by the question, �Is it the same energy we
felt a couple of years ago.�
Shaking his head, �No sir, this is a new energy
level.�
�Well, this is interesting. I want everyone to find
out who this person is. That�s all you may go.�
Shenron motioned for everyone to leave.
All the council members stood as they left the table.
As the last one left, he closed the doors behind him.
Shenron sat staring at the Dragonballs, smiling.
�Soon I shall be the most powerful person in the
universe.�
********
In a little village just a few miles from the High
Councils chamber building. The Dragonslayer was in
deep meditation while hovering above the ground. A
white aura surrounded her as she closed her eyes to
concentrate on harnessing her powers.
Leaning against a tree, was a rather tall young man
with short blondish-brown hair. He had a resemblance
to a person who would be working in a library, with
his short bowl haircut and wire framed glasses hanging
on the edge of his nose. Pushing them up, he smiled
watching Leila. Walking up to her, �You�re getting
stronger.�
Opening her eyes, Leila powered down as she stood up.
�Nice to see you Clove. What brings you by?�
�I heard you were back. I thought I would come by and
say hi.�
Smiling, she looked up at the sun setting, �It�s
getting dark. Why don�t you come in and I�ll make
some tea.�
Nodding Clove followed Leila inside of her house. The
inside of her house was rather small. Just enough
room for one person. Sitting at the kitchen table,
Clove watched with fondness as Leila fixed the tea.
He wasn�t surprised that she was still in her fighting
armor. A green shirt and pants that was covered by a
black chest plat with a silver dragon on it. Around
her neck was her hooded cape.
Leila placed a cup in front of Clove as she sat down
across from him. Looking down at the cup, he picked
it up. Taking a sip, �MMM, you make great tea.�
�Thanks,� as she took a sip herself. Forgetting that
she still had her cape on. Leila undid the knot
around her neck as she let it fall off behind her.
Clove watched as Leila drank her tea. Staring at her,
Leila looked up and caught him in the act.
Embarrassed, he quickly looked down at his tea.
�Doesn�t it worry you to hand the Dragonballs over to
the High Council.�
Looking to her friend, �Yes, but I really don�t have a
choice in the matter right now. They�re in a safe
place and they couldn�t be used unless you have all
seven.� Thinking, �No, I don�t really trust them, but
till I can find a way to destroy them. They will be
safe.�
�Look I know what happened to you, but don�t you think
your being obsessive.�
Leila stood up slamming her hands on the table, �Look!
It wasn�t your parents who were killed over those
damn balls!�
Bowing his head, �Sorry�
Softening her expression, she felt sorry for snapping
at Clove. Sitting back down, �No, I�m sorry. I know
you�re just worried about me.�
Clove just sat and watched Leila, her beautiful green
eyes and auburn hair. Glancing up at the clock, �I
didn�t realize the time, I guess I should be going.�
�You don�t have to go�
�Yeah I think I should.� Getting up from the table,
�Thanks for the tea,�
Leila walked with Clove to the door. Standing at the
threshold, Clove turned around. The two just stared
at one another. Quickly turning around, �Well�..huh,
I better go. Goodnight.�
�Yeah,� flustered,
�Longdaytommorrowyouknow,goodnight.� Closing the door
as Clove left. �Damn, What�s wrong with me?�
Leila turned off the lights in her house as she went
into her bedroom. Turning on the bedroom lights, she
started to take off her armor. Standing in the room
naked, she caught sight of herself in the mirror. She
knew she was very attractive, and had a nice figure.
Turning around she traced with her fingers the
numerous scars on her body. Each scar represented a
different fight or some trial she had to overcome.
Many of the scars were the price to become the
Dragonslayer. As she traced the scars down her
breasts and across her stomach. A great sadness
overwhelmed her, as she dropped to the floor.
Cradling her legs, Leila started to cry.
Losing her parents at the age of five. She never knew
what it was like to have a normal childhood. To know
what happiness was like. Looking up into the mirror,
she saw the tears in her eyes. Wiping them, she stood
up. �I�m almost done. Then I could finally live my
life like a normal woman.�
********
Sweat was pouring down his face as he watched the fire
surround him. �Hiro Shoten Ha!� The tornado rose a
mile in the sky as the fire subsided. Standing their
panting, blocks of ice formed around him. Powering up
he shot an energy blast. The ice shattered as another
wall of ice formed to take its place. With all of his
strength, Ranma launched a massive energy blast.
Trying to keep the blast going for as long as he
could. Until he almost fell over from exhaustion.
With the little energy he had, Ranma rose off of the
ground as he headed toward his temporary home.
Landing on the platform, Ranma stumbled inside where
he threw himself on the bed.
Having been in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for six
months. He watched, as his power grew ten folds in
the first three months alone. Since then he�d hit a
wall. Ranma knew that he could get stronger for some
reason. Knowing inside that he hadn�t reached half of
his true power yet. Clenching his fist, Ranma hit the
bed, �Damn.� If he could figure out what he�d been
doing wrong, his power would double from what it
currently was.
Closing his eyes, images of his training went through
his head. The loneliness was almost overwhelming at
first, but one thought kept him through it. To bring
back Akane and his family. Thinking, memories started
flooding through his mind. �To compensate for the
extra power they transform.� �Kakorot, quit being
stupid. It�s obvious that the person who drowned, her
ki mixed in with his.�
Quickly opening his eyes, Ranma sat up. �How could I
be so stupid.� It was obvious to him now. He spent
all of his time training his male side, but that was
only half of him as a whole. Because of Jusenkyou his
female side is just as important. Both sides are
different and need to be trained properly.
Ranma laid back down as he closed his eyes. Because
of the hard training, he quickly went to sleep, for
once with a grin on his face.
********
�Good Morning Leila�
�Good Morning Mr. Walter.� As she waved to him.
�Honey Come out! She�s back!� As he yelled inside the
house.
Out of the house was an older lady, Roughly in her
sixties. �Hi dear. When did you get back?�
�Last night,� Even though she was in a hurry. Talking
to Mrs. Walter always made her day.
�Come in and have some breakfast.�
�Sorry, I can�t. I�m kinda late.�
�Training with the Master again I see�.Well at least
tell me if you got any.�
�Yes, two.�
�Good, well take care dear. Don�t over train now.�
�O.k bye. Have a good day.�
Mrs. Walter watched as Leila ran at great speed.
�Poor dear, having so much on her shoulders. It�s a
shame what happened to her parents.�
�Could you imagine experiencing that at such a young
age. It�s amazing how well she turned out.�
�Well, I�ll be inside dear,� as Mrs. Walter turned to
go inside. Turning to watch as Leila became a dot on
the road. Shaking her head, she went in as her
husband went back to his gardening.
****
�Your Late.�
�Sorry, Master.�
With a little smile on his face, �You�re my best
student. I think I can let it slide this one time.�
�Thank-you Master Hashi.� Bowing to her sensei.
Master Hashi looked at her rubbing his chin, �You�ve
become quite powerful, but I think you�ll need to work
on your finesse.�
Leila looked at him questionably, �Sir?�
�You see, brute power cannot overcome every fight.
There will come a time when your opponent is stronger
than you. The only way to defeat such an opponent is
to counter his attack. Let me demonstrate, Attack me
now!�
Leila went full speed at her master. Trying to punch
him in the face, he sidestepped her as her punch went
inches from his face. In one fluid motion, he grabbed
her wrists and flung her straight in the air.
�AAAAHHHHHH,� Leila flew into the air as she crashed
on the ground.
Master Hashi casually walked up to her as he peered
down at her. �You see I was able to easily counter
your attack. Without using any energy, you can see
who�s lying on their back.�
Leila got up as she groaned, �It�s going to be a long
day.�
********
�Kachu Tenshin Amagurikan revised, Thousand Strike Ki
Blast.� Ranma�s hands blurred with such speed and
fury. Each strike shot a ki blast, sending about a
thousand in a second.
Five months have passed since he�s been training in
his female form. In his female form he was always
faster, but even he didn�t realize how fast he could
get. Since training in his female form he nearly
tripled his power. Standing there panting, he brushed
the red hair that was sticking to his forehead.
Relaxing, Ranma raised off of the ground flying back
to his home. Landing on the platform, he clutched his
side wincing in pain. The last five months was the
most extreme training he ever went through. His whole
body was black and blue. With one month left the best
thing for him to do was to rest his body. His
training was over now. Reaching a plateau that he
couldn�t surpass. Whether it was enough remained to
be seen.
Walking to his bed and lying down. After almost a
year in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Ranma changed.
His boyish/ girlish looks were gone. His muscle tone
was more defined along with growing another few
inches. Closing his eyes he hoped his training was
enough.
His family depended on it.
********
Lying on her bed, Leila watched as the sun was
setting. The clouds were turning a purplish color.
Turning her head she winced, her master put her
through hell. Her body was aching from head to toe.
Her conversation with Clove still hung in her head.
***
�I don�t understand Leila. If you miss your parents
why don�t you just use the Dragonballs to bring them
back.� Clove worried about his friend.
�Because if I use them, then I would be no better than
everyone else. I will become the person I loathe. I
refuse to contribute to this worlds madness.� Bowing
her head and speaking softly, �My parents are dead.
The only thing I can do now is to prevent this from
happening to other people.�
***
All she had to do was collect all seven and then wish
back her parents. Leila knew that was not an option.
Turning her head she saw that the sun finally went
down. The shy was slowly starting to fill with its
nightly stars.
Turning her head again, Leila looked up at the ceiling
until sleep finally took her over.
********
Kami walked out of his room as he watched the sun
rise. He loved watching the sunrises. �Well it�s
about time.� Walking over to the door leading to the
Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Kami arrived just in time as
the door opened. Kami was awed by the power coming
from the door. It amazed him that a human could
possess such power.
The door slowly opened as a white glow was coming
filtering through the cracks. As the door swung open
Ranma stepped through the door.
