Ok, people. This is a fic that it's basically "what if..." and in this case, it's about our all-time favorite villain: Cell. I thought about this one day, when trying to modify a handsfree set for my cellphone (I'm like the my family's fix-it-all-techie-computer-stuff guy). I know it's not perfect, and that it needs some polish, but I think that right now it's quality would be "ok"
Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ or anything related to it. That belongs to Toei and I'm simply using its story to write some stuff. I think none of us here try to make money out of it. Hahah ^^
Here's the fic.
A really different outcome.
There were only 2 days away before the Cell games. Goku, Gohan and Krillin were relaxing and enjoying the time of their lives while the world was lingering in fear... except for a blue-haired scientist whose brain and courage wouldn't let her friends get harmed. She knew that she couldn't do anything physical that would remotely match them, but that didn't kept her from searching for a way that she could.
In any case, she did find something quite special while analyzing A-16 schematics and software and it was soon to be disclosed.
The day for the tournament arrived, as well our z-fighters and a very special guy followed them: it was none other than android 16.
- "Nº 16! Are you all better?"
- "I wanted to express my gratitude. Thanks Krillin. Thanks to you and your friends I'm all fixed up."
- "Is that so? That's great, huh?"
As soon as the android finished his greetings, he walked to Mirai Trunks, which was rather surprised by the sudden appearance of the android.
- "Trunks. Your mother sent you this" – said android 16 in it's monotone voice as he handled a sealed white envelope
- "Err…uhmm…thanks" – answered the lilac-haired saiyan while opening the envelope.
- "I'll be right with you guys…just let me read this."
Dear Trunks:
I know saiyan blood needs the fight, but the future of our planet is at stake and I knew that I cannot help you in such a complex and powerful battlefield as the one you're standing on right now, but I still could be of help in moments of dispair and fear. What you're about to read is meant to be used only if the situation gets out of hands. You see son, I have found some emergency access codes while analyzing sixteen's neural net that should work on cell as well if my assumptions are correct. Please, before starting the fight, inform Goku about this in order to take the necessary measures as it is imperative his fake death.
First, along with this letter, I send you a whistle tuned in a very specific frequency (if you must know, it's 23,972 hz, which is above human hearing, but not above namek hearing, so you may want to warn piccolo about it). Blow it two times short (quarter of a second), one time long (one full second) and finally one time short (quarter of a second). Then say out loud the following commands in the following order:
Root Access code one-zero-two-phi-gamma-seven-nine-alfa-eight
State directives
Check directives
Clear directives
Once you've said that, the android will ask you to state new directives. If I'm not wrong, Cell must carry a bomb inside itself as well and the first directive I suggest you to give it is to disarm the bomb. If that doesn't work, state as a primate directive the protection of planet earth, so the neural network takes appropriate actions to accomplish that directive.
When you've finished stating it's new directives, simply say "write to permanent memory" and you're done.
Now, in order for this to work, you MUST fake Goku's death in front of Cell in a VERY believable way because his prime directive is the death of Goku (asuming it's second directive is achieving perfection and the third directive being the strongest being in the universe).
I know Goku and Gohan will love to fight, but I know that Son Kun will do the best for our planet, even if that means to do this.
I hope you're ok and return home safe and sound.
Loves.
Mom.
To say that Mirai Trunks was amazed was an understatement because his face was changing as he was reading Bulma's letter. Had she finally found a way to control Dr. Gero's inventions by the means of reverse engineering? It appears so. The only problem now was to create a farce that could actually fool Cell. He resolved that he had no time to waste so he reached Goku as soon as he could and showed Bulma's letter.
- "Well… it seems to me that your mom has already figured out everything… let's hope we don't get to this instance" – said the earth raised saiyan.
What is their plan? How are the z-fighters going to fool Cell in Goku's death in the event that nothing works? Chapter two will bring you more!
