6 months before the arrival of the androids.

Lime and her grandfather are hiking up to Mount Paozu.

"Sure is a nice day for a hike, don't you think Lime?"

Lime took a deep breath of the fresh air and sighed. "Sure is Grandpa."

After a couple more minutes of hiking, they stumble upon a house with a strange pod making a humming noise next to it. There was a women training a young boy near the house and she greeted them.

"Hello, what brings you all the way up here?" Chichi asked.

"I was just hiking with my granddaughter."

"Hello." Lime said.

"I'm actually a farmer for a village a couple miles back. I'm Joe, and this is Lime."

"I'm Chichi, and this is my youngest son Goten." Chichi pointed to Goten who was hiding behind her.

Chichi walked up to the strange machine and banged on the door.

"Goku! Gohan! Get out here, we have guests!"

"Gohan?" Lime and Joe whispered.

A few seconds later, the humming stopped and out emerged two bruised blondes with their shirts burned off and Gohan's tail was wrapped around his waist, making Lime and Joe flinch.

"Lime! Joe! What are you guys doing here?" Gohan said with a smile.

"It's great to see you again Gohan!" Lime and Joe said.

"Um, are you two okay?" Lime asked.

"Huh, oh yeah this is nothing." Gohan replied.

Bardock and Gine walked out of the house.

"Who's this Gohan, is she your mate?" Bardock teased.

Gohan blushed. "No Grandpa."

"Hi, I'm Bardock and this is Gine." Bardock said extending his hand.

"Joe, and this is Lime."

"How do you know them Gohan?" Chichi asked.

"Well, you remember the year I trained with Piccolo?"

"Ugh, how could I forget!?"

"Well, I was looking to work for food and I saw their village and Joe gave me a job."

Joe's eyes went wide. "Pi-Piccolo? As in the Demon King Piccolo?"

"Well actually it's his son, but he's changed."

"Okay…"

"Gohan, I've been meaning to ask you, what happened to your hair and eyes."

"Oh, um, contacts, and dye?"

"Don't lie!" Chichi yelled.

'But I don't want her to hate me.' Gohan said through telepathy.

"Come inside, you might want to sit down."

"Oh man."

During the entire explanation of his Saiyan lineage Gohan had his head down.

"You're an alien? And you killed?" Lime stuttered.

Gohan nodded slowly and demonstrated the Super Saiyan transformation by going to his base and back, and un wrapping his tail as well as Bardock and Gine.

"If you want to run, the door is over there."

Lime hugged Gohan. "I'm not going to run."

Gohan smiled, and Joe was still speechless.

"I-I could get used to this… Um, well anyways it's getting dark, we should get going."

"You can't go now, it's too dark outside, and I insist that you stay the night."

"Thank-you Chichi."

Present

"I found the blue prints mom!"

"Great, I'm going to go back to Capsule Corp., and I'll come back later." Bulma flew off.

"Kami, do you know what they have been doing?" Gohan asked.

"All they have done is Grand Theft Auto and Vandalism."
Trunks' eyes went wide. "You mean they haven't killed anyone?"

"No."

A couple of hours later, Bulma flew up with a remote in hand.

"The remote needs to be within a 10 foot radius to shut down Lapis and Lazuli."

"What?" Krillin asked.

"Lapis is 17's real name, and Lazuli is 18's real name." Bulma explained.

"I'll do it, I'll shut them down." Krillin offered.

"Okay, if you're up for it." Bulma said handing the remote to Krillin.

"Northwest City, is one of the places that they haven't been to, so if you wait there then you're bound to run into them." Kami said.

Krillin nodded and flew off. By the time Krillin got there, clothes were all over the ground and there was an eerie silence.

"Whoa, it's like a ghost town." Krillin heard 17 say from a distance.

Krillin snuck up behind a building close to 18, and he was going to press the button, but he couldn't. Images of 18 kissing him when they first met flashed in his mind. He sighed gaining the attention of 18, he dropped the remote and stepped on it and before 18 could say anything, he flew away.

A few seconds later, a bug like creature snuck up behind 17, and his tail expanded allowing him to absorb the android, 16 grabbed 18 and flew as far away as he could. The creature transformed into a more muscular and taller being.

"What was that!?" 18 asked.

"That is the bio-android, Cell. He was created by Dr. Gero to absorb you and 17. My data shows he wasn't supposed to be fully functional and he was already destroyed."

"If he was destroyed, then how is he alive?"

"I do not know."

Lookout

"Piccolo, you know what we must do." Said Kami.

"Yes." Piccolo put his hand on Kami and in a flash of light, Kami was nowhere to be seen.

"What happened?" Asked Gohan.

"Apparently there's another android able to absorb 17 and 18, and he already succeeded in absorbing 17. And I just fused with Kami, an ability all Namekians have. I'm going to fight him, in the case I fail, train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber." Upon finishing talking, he flew away.

"Goku, what's the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?" Asked Trunks.

"It's a place where you can train for a year in one day." Mr. Popo explained.

"Well then, Trunks and I will go in first." Said Vegeta.

"That's fine." Goku said.

"Wait, I prepared some armor for you four." Bulma said throwing down a capsule exposing a chest with four Saiyan like armor without the shoulder pads and the pads below the chest piece.

"Wow." Trunks said picking up the armor with the others following suit. "Ready dad?"

"Hn."

They entered a room with a vast open space of whiteness.

"Who are you!?" Said Piccolo.

"I am Dr. Gero's ultimate weapon, Cell!"

Piccolo phased in front of Cell and threw a right hook. Cell tried to kick him, but Piccolo dodged. Cell shot a ki blast at Piccolo sending him back a few feet. Piccolo charged his Special Beam Cannon and shot it at Cell, but Cell jumped up, but his legs got blasted off. Cell quickly flew up and used the solar flare taking this chance to flee.

"Curse you Cell!"
