Chapter 19: Locked Away

You were just starting to wake up. It was Dark, and fairly cold. You felt like complete and total crap, and struggled to pick yourself up.

Y/N: Ughhhh...What the hell happened...?

You could barely even see, there were a few lights, but that was about it. Even with those lights, you could just barely get around.

You seemed to be standing in the walls of a big hallway. It was quiet, the only thing you could hear was the faint sounds of the gears shifting within the walls themselves.

Y/N: God...how long was I out for...?

You were quick to notice the lack of windows, so you couldn't tell what time of day it was. Not that you would be able to tell anyway.

Y/N: Wait a second...I remember now! I was fighting against that Kasai clone, and tossed me into one of The Hydra Chambers!

You then got yourself ready to simply blast your way through, your palms ready to fire with your aura bursting out from your body.

Y/N: HA!

Launching several Ki attacks towards the wall, you watched as the blasts exploded on contact. You started to fly, but you noticed that it felt a lot more difficult to move around in the air.

However once the smoke cleared, you were shocked to see that there wasn't even a dent in the metal walls.

Y/N: What...?! How is that possible?! Are these Chambers that durable...?!

You tired again, but it wouldn't budge. After a bit of thinking, you looked at your hands, and thought of how difficult it was to fly. After a few minutes, you realized that it wasn't the durability of the Chambers, it was that your power had gone down by a huge amount.

Y/N: My Power's in a pathetic state...but how...? I didn't use up that much energy during the fight!

You were then interrupted by the sounds of growling and groaning. You went slightly wide eyed and looked over your shoulder to see a big hulking creature twice your size.

It didn't have many physical features, only a beefy muscular body and massive hands that looked like they were ready to tear you apart. The only noticeable thing about it would be it's big devilish smile.

Y/N: What in the hell is that thing?!

It slowly started to approach you by walking, but it quickly started to go on a full-on sprint. You had to act fast, either risk it and face the beast head on, or play it safe and run.

Y/N: ...Yup, let's run!

With that you flew off as fast as you could, which wasn't even remotely close to a fraction of your maximum speed, but it had to do for now.

As you made your way around, you noticed how this place only consisted of hallway like areas, you could either take a turn, or go straight. There didn't seem to be an end.

It didn't help that the creature was still on your tail. Almost literally since it was trying to grab said Tail.

Y/N: Oh right, Super Saiyan...

You decided to do just that and transform into a Super Saiyan, the thing was, you didn't transform. You barely had time to react as you simply sighed with annoyance and hightailed it.

Y/N: Aw C'mon! I can't even transform?! What's wrong with me?!

Your body eventually went limp from the flying as you suddenly fell and hit the floor face first. You struggled to get up as the creature was just right there.

Y/N: Shit shit shit!!

The Creature was just about to catch up when all of a sudden the creature was shot in the face by what looked like a missile.

The Creature felt a lot of pain from the explosion and let out a loud shriek as you watched with your jaw hanging low.

???: I advise you to stay away!

Y/N: Wait a second...that voice...it couldn't be...I haven't seen him since I was a kid...!!

You looked to your right to see a 7 feet tall man with a familiar red hairstyle. Someone you hadn't seen since The Cell Games many years ago.

Android 16 (Capsule Corp.)

Y/N: 16!!!

Android 16: Hello, Y/N. It is nice to see you.

Y/N: What are you doing in The Hydra Chambers...?!

Android 16: It is a bit of a long story. Come with me, I'll take you to where it is safe.

Y/N: No Complaints here!

Time Skip

You were now walking along side none other than Android 16. The last face you expected to see down here if any at all.

Eye-Catch

Eye-Catch

Y/N: So how did you end up in here...?!

Android 16: I was assigned to come here for a mission, but was ambushed by an unknown enemy. They bested me in combat and trapped me within these walls. I have only been in this structure for approximately 6 weeks, but the others claim to have been in here much longer.

Y/N: "Others"?! There are Others?!

Android 16: Affirmative. A good portion of the individuals trapped down here are Celestial entities, just like you, Y/N.

Y/N: Wait, how do you know that I'm a Celestial...?!

Android 16: Forgive me. I originate from a timeline that is different from your own. I roamed my earth and did whatever I needed to protect nature. Every now and then I would encounter the Time Patrol.

Y/N: Oh! You're from the same timeline as my Xeno Counterpart!

Android 16: Not quite. I am familiar with that version too, but there is another in mine.

Y/N: Another me...? Is he strong...?

Android 16: Very. Enough questions for now. We have arrived.

Like Android 16 had stated, you found yourself walking through a hallway that seemed a bit more welcoming, and you could hear the sounds of people talking in the distance.

Y/N: I wonder how many people are down here...?

Android 16: See for yourself.

Upon going deeper into the halls, you looked and saw almost a hundred people of all sorts of shapes and sizes. Some were of races that you had never seen before.

They had everything that you'd expect a normal town to have, at least for the most part. Resting areas, tables, chairs, and even a few small huts, even stores, though what they use as currency is a mystery.

Y/N: This is incredible! How did you...?! I almost forgot that we're trapped down here!

Android 16: According to some, they all banned together, and the more people they found, the faster the process of making this small town. Roughly 87.9% of them are Celestials just like you.

???: Everyone, 16 is back!

You then noticed everyone quickly approaching, 16 stood in front of you as to make sure you didn't get buried in the mob.

Android 16: This may take awhile. You should go and explore a little. Get comfortable. You may be here for awhile.

Y/N: Alright, I guess...

Slowly making your way through the distracted crowd, you managed to get further into the town. Looking at what they had to offer.

Y/N: I guess 16 is really popular around here...

This was the most Celestials you had ever seen. When you first encountered your father before the battle against Ark, there were only about 20 actual Celestials or so.  The Celestial Temple only had about 5 or 6.

You noticed that a few people were giving you some looks. None of them however seemed to be bad or dirty looks. Just curious looks.

???: Hey, Look! It's a new guy!

???: You say that like it's a good thing.

???: 16 actually found someone out there at this time? The amount of Lurkers is getting worse out there...

Three people who you had obviously never seen before now stood before you. Two of them were Male, the third was a Female.

Male 1: We haven't had a new guy in a couple of months! More company is always nice!

Male 2: More Company means more people who get trapped down here, and not all of them are lucky enough to find these kinds of places.

Female: Well this guy didn't, Shoza, and let's be happy that he didn't. You've gotta look at the bright side of things sometimes for a change.

Male 1: What's your name, Stranger?

Y/N: I'm Y/N L/N. Nice to meet some friendly faces!

Male 1: Y/N, huh? Nice name! I'm Mala! This bag of grumpiness here his my cousin Shoza, and this is Ranna! Nice to meet you too! I hope we can be friends!

Y/N: Likewise! While I have you guys here, I wanted to ask something.

Mala: Ask away!

Y/N: Before 16 brought me here, I was being chased by this big creature thing...do you have any idea what that was...?

Shoza: Most likely a Lurker. They can be found all over these parts.

Y/N: "Lurker"...?

Ranna: I'll explain it to him. Lurkers are muscular creatures with these creepy smiles. They start off weak but they can gain strength by consuming their victims. Nobody knows how they got here in the first place.

Y/N: Damn...good thing 16 showed up when he did...

Mala: Yeah, here in the Hydra Chambers, I heard that they are at least 26 floors, and all of them have all kinds of nasty monsters, but you don't need to worry, you're safe with us, man!

Mala suddenly gave you a playful push to the shoulder as this caused you to stumble back a bit, causing you to bump into somebody else.

Ranna: Mala, you can't just push somebody you just met!

Shoza: I'm with her on that.

Y/N: Ow! Sorry about that!

???: N-No no! It's fine!

You then turned around to properly introduce yourself, but you were shocked when you saw who it was.

???: Are you new? I haven't seen you around here before?

Skylar (24 Years Old)
