well hello everyone this is my first story so dont expect much i will try to do the best that i can you are free to post your comments and suggestions .

Gohan, Piccolo, Mr. Popo, Tien, and Goku arrived at the door to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber just in time to see it open.

Trunks was the first to emerge. His hair was longer, he was taller, and he was a lot more muscular. "Thanks for waiting, guys," said the half-Saiyan. "Did we miss anything?"

"It's good to have you back!" said Goku, as Vegeta walked out. "Things have gotten worse since you've been gone."

"You've changed," said Gohan to Trunks.

"I'll say," said Goku. "You look like you're in great shape!"

"You were in the chamber a whole day," said Mr. Popo. "I've never known anyone who's lasted that long before."

"We probably could have come out a lot sooner," said Trunks. "But father wasn't ready to leave until he was sure he'd done all he could do. He insisted on training for the full year even though it really only took him a couple of months to transf-"

"Quiet, boy," said Vegeta. Trunks looked back at him in surprise. "You've said quite enough. Out training is not to be discussed. Ever."

"Well," said Trunks, turning back to the others. "I guess you're going to have to wait and see for yourselves."

"So it worked out?" asked Goku.

Vegeta smirked. "Maybe. I will take care of everything now. There's no need to attempt the training, Kakarot, because I'm sure you will not survive it. Besides, I can guarantee that I won't be needing any of you to help me take care of the androids."

"You fool!" shouted Tien.

"Listen," said Piccolo. "I don't know how powerful you think you are, but you're underestimating our enemies."

"While you were in that room, Cell swallowed up Android 17 and transformed! So don't try to tell us you can handle it. You don't even know what you're up against!"

Vegeta laughed. "Clearly trying to defeat Cell has taken it's toll on all of you. That's why I'm offering to take care of him myself."

"Vegeta," said Goku. "I really suggest that you listen to Piccolo and Tien. I mean, you'd have to triple your strength to stand a chance-" He broke off when Vegeta merely laughed.

Just then, Bulma set down on the top of Kami's tower. "Hey, where are you guys?" she called out, walking outside.

The others went outside to meet her. "Hi there!" she said, smiling.

"Bulma, what are you doing here?" asked Goku.

"I brought some things for all of you," she answered. "You might need them." Just then, she spotted Mirai Trunks. "Oh my gosh, Trunks! What happened to you!" She ran forward to him. "You've grown. Is this a wig- no, it's real!" she said, grabbing Trunks's hair.

"I was in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber," answered Trunks. "Father and I trained in there for a whole year, but outside only a day passed. That's why I've grown a little."

"Now why are you here?" asked Vegeta.

"Hold on, I'll show you," said Bulma, reaching into her pocket. "You see, this fight with Cell's gonna be tough, so I thought you guys might be able to use some new combat suits." She pulled out a capsule, throwing it, revealing a chest"and vegeta you can have one if you stop being a jerk".

"It's just like the one I used to wear on Namek," said Gohan, pulling on one of the boots. "Remember dad? A perfect fit!"

"These are really light," said Goku, examining his chest plate. "Cool!"

"Aren't you going to wear yours?" asked Bulma to Piccolo and Tien.

"I am a Namek, not a Saiyan," said Piccolo, "and I refuse to dress like one."

"I refuse to wear the same suit as Vegeta," said Tien. "Not after all the horrible things he's done."

"Come on, guys," said Goku. "They look great. And they fit good, too."

"There's no need for you to wear that," said Vegeta, smirking at Goku. "You won't even get a chance to use it. So why even bother putting it on?"

"Is that because you plan on finishing Cell all by yourself?" asked Goku. "Well, I hope that you can pull it off."

"So long," said Vegeta, taking off.

"I'll follow him," said Trunks.

"Wait!" said Goku, digging around in his old clothes. He pulled out two Sensu Beans. "I saved these two for you and Vegeta to use."

Trunks took them. "Thanks, Goku."

"Good luck. And if you get into any trouble, get yourself out of there. Okay?"

"Right," said Trunks. "Thank you for everything, Goku. And I hope that your training goes well." He shot off, heading after Vegeta."It's time for us to start our training, Gohan," said Goku.

"hmm dad i think i will slow you down why dont you go with piccolo instead"gohan admitted .

"gohan dont think like that you wont slow me down"goku said.

"hmm goku sorry to interrupt but gohan is right you should go with piccolo so you can grow strong faster. he is the next strongest after you; vegeta and trunks."tien remarked.

"well okay so what do you say piccolo?"goku asked

"well its okay with me"piccolo replied.

"okay then lets go".goku said.

with that goku and piccolo went into the time chamber.

"hey gohan sorry but its the only way for goku to get stronger so that he can help us to beat cell"tien said apologizing to gohan.

"no problem and i too think about going into the chamber alone".gohan repiled.

skip several hours

"How much longer are Goku and piccolo going to be in there?" asked Trunks from where he sat on the steps, bored. He and Vegeta had been waiting for a while for the two to leave the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

"They should be coming out soon," answered Mr. Popo. "They've been in there nearly two days."

"I'm sure they'll stay longer than that," said Vegeta from where he stood, facing away from the others, his arms crossed. "They'll do anything they can to surpass me."

"They are training so they can beat Cell, not you, Vegeta." said krillin who just arrived. "And there are nine days left, so you can afford to be patient."

"well soon after they come i will go in for the remaining 9 days"

tien smirked. "I wouldn't count on that. Didn't you know you can only spend two days inside? Even the Hyperbolic Time Chamber has it's limits."

"What?" Vegeta turned to face tien. "You lie. That's ridiculous. How gullible do you think I am?"

"But it's true," said Mr. Popo. "After 48 hours, the entrance will disappear, and you will be trapped inside for eternity."

"But father," said Trunks, "there's plenty of time. We still have 23 hours left."

Vegeta crossed his arms, disappointed.

a few moments later

"huh i can feel gokus energy he must be done"tien said

true to tiens words a few seconds later goku came out of the chamber in his super saiyan form followed by a very bruised piccolo.

"hey guys i can still feel cell but he seems even stronger. can any body tell whats been happening"goku asked

"sure why not"trunks repiled

"So that's it," said Goku. "A tournament, hmm , this is bad"

tien nodded agreeingly

"Hey Mr. Popo." Goku turned to Kami's old assistant. "Do you still have the clothes I left here?"

"Sure," replied Mr. Popo. "I do. They're somewhere."

"now my turn" gohan said enthusiastically.

"are you sure you what to go alone gohan " goku asked "you can go along with trunks"

"no dad i think i will train alone and that to i think i will stay there for at least 2 years"gohan said

"well then all the best in becoming a supersaiyan"goku said.

with that gohan left into the chamber

"o please kakarot do you really think your half breed brat will become a super saiyan"vegeta asked mockingly.

"come on vegeta he is a lot stronger than you and I were at his age. i am sure that he will become one soon"goku said optimistically.

"whatever"vegeta muttered and left home .

"why did he leave"krillin asked"doesnt he want to train"

"be sensible krillin gohan is not going to come out for another 48 hours so he will just come back later"piccolo said

"yeah"krillin said sheepishly.

"so goku do you think you can beat cell"tien asked.

"i donot know i will check it out i guess"goku said and with that he used instant transmission to meet cell

a few minutes later

"so you think you can beat cell"trunks asked

"no he is still stronger than i am"goku said depressed

everybody paled if goku cant beat cell then no body else can.

"but i have a few tricks upon my sleeve which might finish him off"goku said with a small smile

"lets hope that it works out"tien said hopefully
