Here is Chapter 14, I think you'll like this one, It just kind of came to me in the moment… I knew I would be going here eventually, but I wasn't entirely sure what would happen until now… "Puppeteer gives evil smile". DBZ IS NOT MINE.
The world was in crises, everyone held their breath as they waited to hear news of the results of the CELL GAMES (Oh ya, we just went back in time to the Cell Games, and boy do I have a surprise for you. HAHA…. Anyway). The evil android Cell was unstoppable; he had already defeated Goku… well not really, Cell was going to blow up and destroy the earth, but Goku used instant transmission to take him to king kai's planet, but Cell regenerated and came back to earth, so Goku and king kai died. No one had any way of seeing the fight due to some camera problems. This was it; it all cam down to this. Gohan was the last hope for the universe… it was now or never. Super saiyan Gohan powered up. Cell flinched.
"Gohan…" said Piccolo with wide eyes.
"He's finally ready to face him!" said krillin as he held the unconscious Android 18.
Gohan began to charge his attack, he has his father's spirit helping him, and he has unimaginable energy.
"KAAAAAAAAAA MEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAA MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" screamed Gohan
"HA, now that's more like it" smirked Super Perfect Cell. He began to charge a ki blast as well.
"MEEEEEEEEE" continued Gohan… this was going to be epic.
"NOW, YOU DIE" Yelled Cell as he released the ki blast.
"HAAAAAA" Gohan released his blast as well. At that moment… history was changed again. As if by magic…. The ki blasts vanished, and both fighters stood in shock. Standing in between them stood a tall, black suited, doll faced man… It's the Puppeteer! Both fighters couldn't believe their eyes, what happened… this was suppose to be it… one shall rise, while the other falls… but who was this.
"Fool, leave immediately, this is a private fight, now go before I destroy you!" Yelled Cell. The Puppeteer looked up and walked towards the android. He put his face right in Cell's and stared.
"Are you Super Perfect Cell" asked the Puppeteer. Cell didn't know what to do… he had never seen this man before.
"Yes… yes I am… who are you?" Asked the puzzled Cell.
"SUPER, Just call me your guardian angle. I need to have a quick chat with Gohan over there, just give me 5 minutes, and then you can continue the fight… K… super!" The puppet said. He was going to make a BIG change to history right here; he had a couple minutes before the others arrived so he would have to work fast. Cell didn't know what to do, was this an enemy or an ally? He would just have to go with it; he was unstoppable, and not even Gohan could defeat him.
"Fine but be quick about it." Said the monster. He watched as the black suited man walked over to his enemy. Gohan was at a loss for words. Who was this guy; he interrupted them at the worst possible time. Just then he heard the new man speak.
"Sup…. Are you Gohan Son?" said the man. Gohan didn't have time for this, he had already dragged the fight out long enough, he had to end this, …but how did this guy know his name? He had never seen him before.
"Ya, I'm Gohan, but listen to me, you have to get as far away from here as possible, that guy is…!" Gohan was cut off.
"Ya, ya, ya, that guy is Cell, can destroy the universe, big battle, super saiyans, blah blah blah." Said the Puppeteer as he studied the boy's energy level. Gohan's eyes grew, this man was going to get hurt, he needed to leave now.
"Please, get out of here while you still have a chance!" Pleaded Gohan.
"Do you like Games Gohan?" asked the puppeteer with an evil smile. Gohan's eyes grew wide.
"What? We don't have time for…" panicked the boy before he was cut off by a blinding green light. Gohan couldn't move; who was this man. He looked at the puppet as he held up a hand that had 5 blades on it. The puppeteer began to smile when all of a sudden a thought popped into his head.
"OH! I almost forgot!" yelled the puppeteer. He held up his other hand and snapped his finger. Instantly, about 15 floating cameras appeared out of nowhere; he was going to broadcast this to the rest of the world!
Everyone around the world jumped at the sight of the picture returning to their Tv's, but something was wrong… who was this new guy.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, sorry for the delay, we had some minor technical difficulties, but everything's fixed now". Said the puppeteer to his global audience. "Please allow me to introduce myself, I am your new host THE PUPPETEER! Let me fill you in… we are in the final stretch, it all comes down to this, but personally… I didn't like how it was going to end, so I thought I'd change that" said the Puppeteer. Suddenly a beam of energy shot from Gohan's body and went to Cell. The monster dove away, but the beam went straight into his body. For a moment Cell thought it was some kind of attack, but then he felt something amazing… it was power. The puppeteer was transferring Super Saiyan Gohan's energy to Cell's body… he would be unstoppable. Vegeta had been knocked down by the monster some time ago, but was now in a state of panic.
"What sort of trick is this?" yelled the prince. The others were in shock to… what was going on?
"Ladies and Gentlemen, without further ado, I give you MEGA Super Perfect Cell! The most powerful creature in the universe" Yelled the Puppeteer. Gohan was losing energy fast; he slowly powered down and was no longer a Super Saiyan. The Puppeteer released him from the green light, and the young half saiyan fell to the ground.
"No… what have you done, he'll destroy everything, no one will be able to stop him" said Gohan; he should have ended this when he had the chance.
"Bingo Kido, I win, Cell wins, and you lose!" Laughed the puppeteer.
"NO, WE WERE SO CLOSE" Vegeta screamed as he smashed his fist on the ground. He really thought for a moment that Gohan would have enough power to end this once and for all… but he was wrong. Mega Cell looked at the Puppeteer and smiled.
"So it was you who gave me this strength, thank you, but why?" Said the unstoppable being.
"Simple, I give you power, you do me a couple of favors; for starters, finish off the boy, you have two minutes before the others get here, and they will be a challenge, even for your new Mega form." The puppeteer said.
"Others?" asked Mega Cell.
"No Time, kill him before it's to late!" Yelled the puppeteer; he needed the android to act fast.
"WITH PLEASURE" said the android as he charged an attack. Gohan was weak, he couldn't move, this was the end. "KAAAA MEEEE HAAAA MEEEEEE" said Cell as he charged the attack. Gohan's eyes shot open, and he watched as the monster prepared to kill him, this was it; he had failed.
"DO IT NOW!" Yelled the Puppeteer.
"HAAAAAAAA!" Cell released the ki blast at Gohan. There was a massive blast and smoke everywhere.
"Come on baby, come on" prayed the Puppeteer as he waited for the smoke to clear… "YES!", Gohan was no more; he was blasted by the monsters energy enhanced attack, and due to his lack of energy, Gohan didn't stand a chance. The Puppeteer COULD NOT believe that actually worked. He tried to sense the boy's ki, but nothing… he just killed another one… "HAHAAAA, no one can stop me, I am invincible". Yelled the Puppeteer
IN OTHER WORLD
Gohan felt a hand shake his body. He slowly opened his eyes to see his dad. He sat up quickly and saw that they were on a long path; they were on snake way… they were dead. Gohan looked at his dad as the new became apparent; he had died. Goku looked at his son's halo. Gohan felt his eye's fill up with tears.
"Dad… I'm sorry… I…" but before Gohan could finish, his dad gave him a hug.
"Don't worry, you did your best, what's done is done, all we can do now is wait and hope." Said Goku. The two turned to king kai and placed their hands on the man's back so they could view the fight. "There's something I don't understand though." Said Goku.
"What's that father?" asked the boy
"This was to convenient for Cell," said Goku with a serious look.
"What do you mean?" Gohan asked.
"I mean you had Cell; with our combined energy, we should have been able to kill the monster right then and there, but then this guy shows up and transfers your energy to Cell, and then Cell has the energy to kill you with a single blast, don't you think that's way to convenient?" Goku stated
"What are you getting at Goku?" asked King Kai; he was just as lost as Gohan.
"I mean didn't you hear the man when he spoke to the rest of the world? He said 'I didn't like how it was going to end, so I thought I'd change that'. He knew that Gohan was going to kill Cell right there, but he wanted to change it so Cell won… call me crazy, but I think this guys from the future?" said Goku. Before King Kai and Gohan had time to react, they heard the man's voice again.
Back on Earth
"Ladies and Gentlemen, any minute now, the new world champion Mega Cell will be facing off against some… unusual people, so just sit back, relax, and let the man slaughter commence." Laughed the Puppeteer. He couldn't wait to see the look on everyone face when they found out that Cell had just killed Gohan. "Ok now Cell, I don't have time to explain everything, but Gohan, two Vegetas, four children, and a creature named Majin Buu will be arriving here from the future. Your strength has increased dramatically and you should be able to give them a run for their money, but there's also the chance that they could vaporize you in a second, so do you think you can handle them while I take care of a few things?" asked the puppeteer nervously; this time's Gohan was extremely powerful when he transferred his energy to Cell… hopefully I would be enough to cause some serious damage to the Z warriors… but what if it doesn't… Cell might need back up; he had the perfect person in mind. The puppeteer looked at his watch, he had 5 seconds until the Z warriors arrived a short distance away.
About a Mile Away
THUD! The NINE time travelers hit the ground hard… Majin Vegeta landed on his head. Future Vegeta looked around frantically.
"SHIT I DIDN'T GET TO HIM IN TIME!" yelled the Future Prince as he fell to the ground on his knees.
"What, what's wrong dad?" asked Future Trunks. Future Vegeta looked up at the group… he wasn't sure how they would take it.
"We didn't grab…. Future Goten… He got left behind at the world tournament." Said Vegeta slowly. Everyone's eyes grew; they had no idea how to get Goten back, and since he wasn't a player, he wouldn't be sent back to present day if they caught the Puppeteer. "Listen… we can't let this distract us from our primary goal; we HAVE to catch the Puppeteer. If we can catch him, then maybe there's a way we could get Goten back". Despite feeling like crap for letting the boy down, he knew that catching the puppeteer was the only thing they could do at this point. Just then Gohan fell to his knees and looked off into the distance.
"It can't be… he's even stronger than before… but how could it be… it's impossible." Said Gohan. Gohan had almost instantly picked up on Mega Cell's ki (It wasn't to hard to miss).
"Gohan, what is it?" asked Videl.
"CELL, AND HE'S STRONGER THAN BEFORE, A LOT STRONGER, I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF WE COULD BEAT A GUY LIKE THIS!" yelled Gohan. Everyone froze in fear.
"WHAT YOU'RE KIDDING!" said Future and Majin Vegeta in a panic. How could he be stronger? All the saiyans closed their eyes and searched for any large kis. "Oh Dende that's Cell alright. What the Hell happened, he wasn't nearly this powerful when you defeated him!" said Future Vegeta. Gohan continued to stare at the horizon.
"What if he had help…" said Gohan.
"Oh Dende, what did he do in this time. If we're at the time Cell was alive, then that means we jumped 7 years into the past. Lets find Cell fast, I have a feeling the Puppeteer has been busy making changes." said Future Vegeta. With that, the others took off to find the Universal threat.
Back at the World Tournament, 7 Years in the future
The fighters watched as Future Goten sat on the ground, trying to sense where his friends had left to, but it was not use; the Puppeteer took them to the next time, and he had been left behind… forgotten… abandoned. The boy's eyes filled with tears, and he began to cry. It was a sight that would break any person's heart. Goku walked over to the future version of his son and placed a hand on his shoulder. Even if he was from the future, he was still his son, and he looked scared and alone.
"Hey little guy, it's alright, everything will be ok." Said Goku as he picked up the child and gave him a hug. "Don't worry, everything will be just fine." He continued. Goten couldn't believe that they forgot about him… did this mean they didn't want him a part of the team? "Hey, listen, why don't we go grab a bite to eat? I'm sure that will cheer you up." Said Goku. Goten looked up and smiled slightly; food did make him feel better. Goku held his Future son as they walked to the cafeteria. Everyone, including New Goten and New Vegeta (Still holding unconscious New Trunks) followed the two saiyans… they still had plenty of unanswered questions.
Back at Present Day!
"GOKU! WAKE UP!" yelled King Kai. Goku fell off of the couch and landed on the floor. He had fallen asleep at Capsule Corporation while he was waiting for King Kai to find the others.
"I'M UP!" said the startled saiyan.
"You'll never guess who I found!" Said the King
"Who?"
"Present Day Goten!"
"Whoa, that's great, where did you find him, and better yet when did you find him?" Cheered Goku; they were finally making progress.
"Well, It wasn't easy, things are a mess right now. The Puppeteer has been busy messing with the Timeline. Each time a big enough change is made, the timeline splits and breaks off into a new dimension, and the timeline becomes more and more unstable. At the rate he's going, the Universe will collapse under the weight of all the changes and all will be destroyed." Said the Kai. "I've already started to see the Fabric of space and time begin to break; I've been tracking several large cracks that have appeared in our time: One in other world, One on my planet, and One on Earth. These cracks are breaks in the dimensional boundaries, and if to many cracks appear, the universe will shatter like a mirror hitting the ground; into a million pieces." Said the Kai in a panic.
"Uh Oh, we have to warn the others, can you send me to them?" asked Goku.
"Hmmmm, I don't know yet?"
"You mean you can't send me to my son?"
"OF COURSE I CAN!, My powers are not limited to time and dimensional boundaries; I'm a Kai for goodness sake". Yelled King Kai. "I still haven't found the others yet; I think present day Goten got separated from Vegeta and Trunks some how, but I'll keep looking."
"King Kai, please, I need to get to them and warn them now; can you please send me to my son?" Pleaded Goku; he didn't like sitting around, and he wanted to help in any way possible.
" Sigh I guess… But I'm coming with you!"
"But King Kai… your dead, how can you…"
"I KNOW THAT, BUT I REALLY DON'T CARE IF I'M DEAD, I'M COMING WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!" Yelled Kind Kai in a rage… he hated being left out, and he figured he would have a hard time explaining everything to the others once they were located. Just then King Kai appeared in front of Goku. "I'm hear!" He yelled. Goku jumped and laughed. With there destination set, they disappeared.
OK, I THINK THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHAPTERS SO FAR, I KNOW IT'S SHORT, BUT I HAD MORE 'SETTING UP' TO DO. WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE MEGA CELL PART? IT JUST CAME TO ME AS I WAS WRITING ONE OF THE CHAPTERS; I THOUGHT IT WAS MEGA EPIC. PLEASE REVIEW.
