"hehe."
The evil monster revealed its self.
"Oh I can't wait to achieve my perfect form."
The helpless old man crawled on the ground to get away but he was faster with his tail.
"AAAAAAAaaaah!"
"mmmm tasty."
...
"Haaa!"
Trunks and Krillin blasted everything in he lab.
"We gotta get going. The place is starting to fall apart."
They flew up the the ladders and made it out just as the explosion came.
Krillin wiped his sweat.
"Hey why are you helping us if it won't change your time?"
"I just don't want the past to live through hell just like me."
Trunks left Krillin to catch up.
...
"Piccolo wears Krillin and Trunks?"
"They wanted to investigate he old man's lab-"
He looked at the window.
"Th-they're here!"
They all gasped and ran out to the front.
17 smirked.
"Well I see everyone is home. Now I'm only going to ask nicely once...where's Goku?"
"Like we'd ever tell you!"
17 rubbed his head.
"Okay how about this... If you don't tell us where he is we'll just have to get the info by force."
"Yah if you can get past me-"
"Don't you mean us?"
"No go back inside I'll take care of them."
Tien sighed and they all got back in looking through the window.
"Is that a challenge?"
"What do you think?"
"Alright then. But you asked for it."
"Sure."
Piccolo levitated and guided them to an island.
He took off his cape and turbon.
17 cracked his knuckles while the rest sat down to watch.
"I'm only giving you one last chance before I beat you."
"Forget it."
And with that he charged towards 17.
...
Goku stretched.
"What do you think you're doing Kakarot?"
Goku was confused.
"I'm getting ready to go in."
"Oh no you don't! I'm going in first!"
Goku laughed.
"Okay okay. You and Trunks can go in. Later I'll go."
"But what about you? It's not easy training alone."
"Don't worry. You guys take your time. I mean not in there."
Vegeta nodded and decided to find Trunks.
...
The two jumped away from each other panting.
"Give up?"
"You wish."
Piccolo smiled but stopped when a figure came up.
Everyone looked at the monster, Cell.
"Aaah my big brunch. All together. They make it so easy."
17 looked at Cell in disgust.
"What is that ugly thing?"
"Who are you!?"
Cell chuckled.
"I try not to make a habit of talking to my food."
"What do you mean?"
Cell pulled his tail and stared at 17.
"But why?."
Cell closed his eyes.
"In order to achieve my perfect form I must have androids 17 and 18. And when I mean that I need them I will absorb them. Then my power will be unlimited! I will be invincible!"
17 stood back.
"Like I'd want to join you!"
"But then we can fulfill our father's wish, Take over the world!"
18 stood knowing this wasn't going to end well.
Gohan looked her way.
"18 we have to leave!"
"17!"
"Hey back off! This thing is gonna have to get me."
Cell laughed.
"Oh perfection. I can already smell it."
Piccolo gaped.
"17! You have to leave or else everyone's in danger!"
"Hey shut up!"
17 Threw a ki ball at him making it explode before dashing in the great cloud of dust...or something.
Cell sensed 17 behind him and slashed his tail at him.
17 fell to the ground and got back up.
"Not bad."
Cell turned around and opened his tail on 17's head.
"AAah! What the hell!?"
16 stood up.
"Wh-where are you going?"
He turned to Gohan.
"I'm going in. And if I don't make, leave while you have the chance."
He walked onto the battle ground took off his hands.
Cell noticed.
"Hm?"
16 yelled and shot at Cell making him scream before flying away from 17.
As the dust cleared off 17 got up.
"Hey this is my- 16!"
"Leave now. I will hold Cell off. We both have the same amount of power."
17 smiled.
"Well to bad. I'm not going anywhere until "I" destroy him!"
Cell stood up.
"Ah 16. I've heard about you also."
He put his arms back up and ran to Cell.
Cell laughed and sunk his needle-like tail into 16's neck.
"Ha!"
16 smirked.
"You cannot absorb me."
"What!"
"I am made of metal..."
16 ripped the tail out his neck.
"A different type of an android."
Cell yelled when his tail was ripped off and fell to the ground.
16 smiled in victory.
"Now you may not harm any more citizens."
"Except for us."
Cell laughed.
"Not quite. You see with a bit Piccolo's power I can regenerate."
"B-But how!"
Cell decided not to explain anything else and grew his tail back.
16 was surprised.
"Oh don't get scared now. You started this fight.
Cell raised his arm up and blasted 16's face.
He laughed and turned to 17.
"Now where were we?"
'if 16 was right about them having the same power levels...'
He yelled and started punching at him.
"I will not lose to a freak!"
Cell decided that playtime was over and slapped him down.
"And now..."
Piccolo watched 17 get halfway stuck his tail.
"No stop! You freak!"
Cell laughed when he was fully sucked in and powered up.
18 and Gohan ran to 16.
"Go. He wants you two."
"But we can't leave you!"
"You have each other. Besides I will get in your way."
18 sighed.
"You heard him."
"But-"
Gohan noticed there wasn't anymore yelling and turned around.
Cell smiled.
"She's next."
"He's done."
18 cursed her arm.
"let's go!"
Cell appeared in front of them.
"I don't think so. And what's this another android?"
18 hid her behind her back.
"You stay away from her!"
"make me."
