A.N.- I made a One-shot of Vegeta and Bulma's rocky relationship. It is in the same 'story-line.' I would recommend it if you are reading this fic. It is rated M for brief nudity scene. It is mostly about Vegeta.
As for this chapter- Around 6k Words. Next 2-4 chapters will be about the past. I will tell you right now, its not going to be the same as the actual Dbz, but the end result should be similar. Enjoy.
Reviewers….
DeathGoblin- Thanks for the review, hope you like this chapter.
FlareKnight- Yeah, I wasn't expecting to do that too. I felt like killing them, those ruthless androids. It was not SS2. The androids in the future were not as strong as the androids in the past. I was thinking Gohan was not too far off from Piccolo's strength when he unites with Kami. It was more of his anger that caused the androids to fall. Hope you like this chapter and thanks for the review.
Jakeub- In yer dreams! Never! The show will go on! Hehehe. Hope you like it. I will spice things up in the coming chapters in the past. Hope you enjoy this chapter and thanks for the review.
SilverXy4- Gohan was not a SS2. I was thinking he was close to Piccolo's strength. He was powered by anger. I will explore the future cell a bit more once Mirai Gohan and Trunks go back to the future after everything is done in the past. Hope you like this chapter and thanks for reviewing.
Chapter 14- A Little Late
The news quickly spread of the defeat of the androids. Everybody was excited. It was a time of change. The hope that earth held on to had finally come. It had been just over twenty years of terror and turmoil. Trunks was now 19 years old and now he was going to finally experience peace.
The news headline at six read 'It's finally over!' Trunks was relaxing on the couch with the television on.
'That's right folks! This is no joke! It's finally over! After twenty years of constant fear, we can finally live in peace again. The androids have been defeated and killed. The question remains how and who? We have received confirmation by Mrs. Briefs of the world renowned Capsule Corporation that the androids have been killed.
We know they were the warriors that have sporadically been fighting the androids over the past twenty years. Mrs. Briefs insisted that they didn't want to be known for their actions. One of the fighters was quoted saying "You owe it to everybody else that fell to those androids. I was the finishing product, but nobody owes me anything." Mrs. Briefs also said that the King Piccolo was one of the fighters that fought the androids to save the earth. We all remember his reign of terror decades ago. He did fight against the androids. No matter who, we are fortunate that we can finally have peace again.' The newscaster said in a very happy voice.
Trunks had a smile on his face. He was so proud of his master. He had done the impossible. Trunks continued to watch the news.
'Now that we are finally at peace, it is now time for the reconstruction process. The excitement is in the air. You can finally go to the movies, the mall, or even out to eat without worrying about your life. It is a time to rejoice. Again we want to thank the warriors so much for fighting.'
People were in the streets happy. People were crawling out of their hiding places within the wreckage of the city rejoicing. People were very happy even though all the buildings were destroyed.
When people got out of their hiding places they looked at what was left of the skyline of West City. Out of all the buildings, only a select few were still standing. The ones that were standing were severely damaged only showing perhaps the bottom half of the building standing. There were craters everywhere showing the many large blasts the androids caused.
The night of the androids death's, fireworks were going off in the city. Thousands of people gathered to watch the display of victory. Bulma, Oolong, Puar, Gohan, and Trunks decided to watch the fireworks. They were not transformed, so nobody would recognize them. The only thing sticking out about their small group was Bulma Briefs. She was renowned as one of the greatest scientists of the time, but people were mainly focusing on this wonderful day that many thought would never come.
The two demi-saiyans feasted at a very nice restaurant that reopened that evening in celebration of the defeat of the androids. The dark time was over. After that night, the group went back to Capsule Corporation to celebrate by themselves by staying up late and sharing memories.
"All this excitement and celebration because of you two!" Oolong said as he grabbed another glass of wine, savoring the moment.
"Yes, we can finally rebuild. Only 10% of the population lived though this dark time, but we survived. It's too bad that everyone else died." Bulma said remembering the dark time that had just changed that day.
"Yes. This is the time that we can finally rebuild after those beasts. I am glad it's all over for this timeline however Trunks and I still have work to do in the past…" Gohan said as he turned his head to Trunks.
Trunks nodded. "Yeah, the more fighters we have in the past, the more likely that we will defeat the androids." Trunks said.
"I just want you to be careful! I know you have to do it, but I really want you two to live." Bulma said.
"Don't worry mom! Gohan beat the androids in this time, so he can do it again in the past. Not only can Gohan beat them, but everybody else is training and preparing for them! There is no way we can lose." Trunks said with excitement.
"Yes Trunks, but even in the past, the androids are not to be taken lightly. They still have a chance of winning. That is why we will go back and reduce that chance to zero." Gohan said.
"What!? There is no way they can win." Trunks said wondering why his master was so worried.
"Don't ever presume to know anything when it comes to those ruthless androids." Gohan said.
"Right." Trunks said nodding his head.
"Yeah, but you're not going back yet? You should enjoy it here for a little bit!" Bulma said.
"We can't even go back yet. We have to wait till that day comes. I think we have another six months." Gohan said.
"Good. I don't want you fighting just yet!" Bulma said.
The rest of the group enjoyed the rest of the evening.
Other World
"I knew this day would come." Piccolo said in his typical monotone voice.
"What? What happen?" Goku asked in fear.
"They defeated the androids. Gohan killed both of them." Piccolo said.
"Whaaa? How do you know!" Goku asked.
"I just do. I can feel it…" Piccolo said.
"Hey Vegeta!" Goku chirped with his typical grin.
Vegeta was sitting against a tree with his eyes closed. He looked up at Kakarots typical happy face. 'How I ever ended up with these fools…' Vegeta thought when the younger saiyan flew over to him with excitement.
"Guess what!!!" Goku said with excitement.
Vegeta didn't even ask. He was getting slightly irritated that he wouldn't just say what he wanted to say. "What!" He said in the gruff voice.
"They defeated the androids!" Goku said happily.
"What!" Vegeta asked very surprised. 'It's finally over? They defeated them?'
"Yeah! Piccolo said so!" Goku said with his happy grin.
"Who defeated them?" Vegeta asked.
"Gohan…" Goku said.
Piccolo went on to say, "He defeated them because Trunks almost died. Gohan thought he was dead, but he managed to survive. Gohan killed the androids in a matter of minutes…"
'I am proud of that brat, no not brat, Gohan. I know my son and Gohan's bond is very strong. I am glad it's finally over, and I am so proud of my son.' Vegeta thought as a smile grew on his face. This was rare.
Piccolo noticed the smile. 'Wow kid, you finally did it. You did what I couldn't do, what Vegeta couldn't do. I wish I was there to see this day happen.' Piccolo thought as a smile even occurred on his face.
Over the next six months, the two demi-saiyans took it easy. They couldn't abruptly stop training due to who they were. It was in their nature. They did however enjoy what life offered. It had been finally six months.
"Gohan? Trunks? I was thinking we could go out into town tonight? What do you say?" Bulma asked. It was two a clock in the afternoon.
"Sure, but can we check to see when I have to go back in time? I think it's coming up within the week. I can't remember which day…" Gohan said.
"Sure, let's go into the lab and check that paper." Bulma said as she began to walk downstairs to her lab where she kept the time machine in.
Once down there, Bulma opened up a drawer in a desk with a piece of paper and a small capsule which contained the time machine.
Bulma did a double take at the piece of paper. She was very surprised and worried. "Whaa? Something must be wrong here!" Bulma said frantically.
"What? What is it?" Gohan asked not wondering why she was so worried.
"It says that you went back three years ago on this day!" Bulma said.
"What!? Lemme see!" Gohan said and took the paper out of Bulma's hands.
"No! Crap! We were supposed to leave and meet them this morning! We have to go now!!!" Gohan said as he ran upstairs to grab Trunks.
"Trunks!" Gohan yelled as he went into the living room.
"Yes Gohan? Something wrong?" Trunks asked.
"You bet! We were suppose to go back this morning! We missed it! We have to go now!" Gohan said very worried.
"No way! I thought you were going plan it so we would be prepared!" Trunks said.
"I thought so too! Let's get out of here!" Gohan said as he began to run back down stairs.
"Right" Trunks said and followed him.
The two ran downstairs to a confused Bulma. "I can't believe we missed it. You two better go back just to be sure everything is ok!" Bulma said.
"Right" Both demi-saiyans said.
Bulma threw the capsule in the center of the room. Out came Project Hope. "Ok you two, be safe and come back soon!" Bulma said as the two crawled into the time machine.
"Right." Gohan said slightly worried. 'How could I have missed this? This is so important, and we missed the time.' Gohan thought as the glass part of the capsule began to close.
'Here we go. I hope I was born.' Trunks thought as he gulped.
After a second, the time machine disappeared in thin air. 'Good luck boys! You're going to need it…' Bulma thought.
As soon as they left, they appeared back in the past. The two immediately opened the time machine and both jumped out. Gohan pressed the button on the side, depcapsulating (a.n. That a word?) the time machine. Gohan let out a sigh of relief.
"It looks like everybody is still alive." Gohan pointed out.
"Yeah, so does that mean that they destroyed the androids?" Trunks asked.
"I think so, but we better make sure." Gohan said as he put the small capsule inside of his pocket.
The two took a second to figure out where they were when they felt something weird.
"WHAT on earth is that!? It's huge!" Trunks practically yelled.
"I don't know! Something is wrong. It feels like Freeza almost! I killed him already! Did we come back to the wrong time?" Gohan asked.
"No, the time machine is perfect in that regard. There is no doubt that this is the right time." Trunks corrected Gohan.
"Then how is this possible?" Gohan asked.
"I am not sure…" Trunks said.
"This is not good! Do you feel that power level! I have never ever felt a power level that high! There is no way we can defeat that!" Gohan yelled not knowing what to do.
"Gohan, what do we do?" Trunks asked his master.
Again a shock of surprise came. "Do you feel that? Is that Piccolo?" Trunks asked.
"Yeah, but that can't be Piccolo. He is even stronger than that other mysterious power level! I know Piccolo isn't that strong! There is no way he could have gotten that strong! What is going on here?" Gohan said.
"I don't know, but we probably should check it out." Trunks said.
"Yes, but we have to remain hidden when we get there. We don't stand a chance against that power level!" Gohan said.
Trunks and Gohan both flew off in the direction of the mysterious power level.
In mid flight, Gohan continued to be confused not understanding any of this. 'What is going on? Piccolo is too strong. Could he have possibly prepared that much? He makes my power level look like nothing! At least I feel everybody. It seems like everybody except Piccolo is at Kame House. I feel Vegeta flying towards Piccolo! Vegeta achieved super saiyan status, but even at that, this new power is much stronger! And Piccolo is much stronger than Vegeta! Something is definitely wrong…'
"Hey Gohan!" Trunks yelled because of their extreme speed they were going. It was the only way to communicate.
"Yeah?" Gohan yelled back.
"I feel a lot of weird power levels coming from that thing or whatever it is!" Trunks yelled.
"Yeah! I am so confused! Let's just wait till we get there! Maybe Piccolo can tell us." Gohan yelled hoping that he was right.
After another five minutes, they had finally made it. Gohan looked at the wreckage. 'It looks like what the androids would do!' Gohan thought as he saw Piccolo. He landed right behind him. Trunks landed right next to Gohan.
"What is going on Piccolo?" Gohan asked. Piccolo turned his head and saw Mirai Gohan and Trunks.
(A.N- From now on, I will refer to Gohan from the future, Mirai Gohan. Therefore, I will call present time Gohan, Gohan. I will continue to refer to Trunks as Trunks. If I mention baby Trunks, I will be clear.)
"I will tell you everything once we kill him." Piccolo said as he turned his attention back on the creature.
Trunks and Gohan looked up at the creature. It looked like a dark green large grasshopper. It appeared that it had a long tail.
"What is that thing!?" Mirai Gohan said.
"Now, Now, Gohan. You shouldn't refer to living creatures as things. Didn't your mother teach you better than that?" The green creature said.
"What he knows who you are Gohan!" Trunks pointed out.
"Yes, and I also know who you are young Trunks." The green creature said.
It was then Krillin landed next to Trunks. Mirai Gohan looked over to see his long lost friend from the past. "Krillin!" Mirai Gohan said.
"Hey! It's you! You came back!" Krillin said.
"Yeah…" Mirai Gohan said.
"I hate to interrupt your little conversation, but I was in the middle of killing Piccolo. You are welcome to join him." The mysterious green creature said.
"Whoa! What am I sensing from him?" Krillin asked.
"I will tell you once we kill this thing." Piccolo said.
"You think you can kill me? Think again Piccolo." The mysterious green creature said.
"Face it! You are outnumbered and outmatched." Piccolo said.
'He's right. I can't beat him until I get the androids in me! How am I going to get out of here?' The green creature thought.
"I even feel Goku from him!" Krillin pointed out.
"Yeah watch it. He knows the Kamehame wave." Piccolo said.
"What!? That is impossible. He would have had to study under Master Roshi to know that technique." Krillin said.
"Not only do I know the Kamehame Krillin, but I also know a little attack called the sprit bomb." He said.
"Whoa! He knows my name." Krillin said.
"As much as I want to talk, I still have some unfinished business to attend to, so see ya!" The green creature said and then he used Tien's attack, the solar flare.
"Ahh!" Everybody said at the intense light.
The mysterious green grasshopper creature ran off in a different direction. 'I have to stay on ground, else they might sense me. I still have to get more energy until I can defeat the androids.'
After a minute of intense light, the blue sky could be seen again.
"Ugh, what happen!" Krillin said.
"He got away! Damn him!" Piccolo said.
"That was Tien's attack!" Mirai Gohan said.
"Yeah…" Piccolo said.
"Dang, he got away. Who was he!?" Trunks asked.
"I can't believe he got away! How could I have done that!?" Piccolo began to yell as his power level began to increase. He was powering up as high as he could go. His scream could be heard everywhere.
Vegeta saw this and had the complete look of surprise on his face as he began to land. 'No way! The Namek!' Vegeta thought as he landed.
"Vegeta is here." Piccolo pointed out as everybody turned to see him.
"Namek! I demand you to tell me how you got so strong! Speak now!" Vegeta said in his typical gruff intimidating voice.
"I will tell you everything once Tien gets here. He will be here shortly." Piccolo said and then turned his back on Vegeta.
'Damn him!' Vegeta thought. "Fine, but tell me how you got so strong. There is no way that the real Piccolo could be this strong!" Vegeta said angrily.
Mirai Gohan and Gohan looked up also wondering the same thing. It was then Krillin spoke up. "I will tell you. Knowing that he couldn't defeat the androids, he merged with Kami. It's the only way." Krillin said.
'What? Piccolo merged with Kami?' Vegeta though as the look of surprise was on his face. It was then Vegeta turned to the mysterious fighters from the future. Over the last three years, he had managed to figure out who they were. 'What!? They are here!? My son is here…' Vegeta though as he looked at his son features. 'Good, he's strong like me. No way my son is going to be weak.' He thought with a growing smirk.
After a few minutes of silence, Tien made his grand entrance. "What happened here?" Tien asked.
"I will tell you all everything now. Listen up closely, because I am not going to repeat this." Piccolo said.
"The green monster that you saw is named Cell. He has come from the future to absorb the androids. He is created by Dr. Gero, the one that created android 17 and 18." Piccolo said.
"Wait! You telling me that the androids are still alive!? Didn't you kill them?" Mirai Gohan asked.
"Shut up brat! Let the Namek finish." Vegeta said.
"We couldn't beat them. The androids are almost as strong as that creature you saw. I had no idea they were that strong! They tore us apart. That is why I went to Kami to merge…" Piccolo said.
"Get on with the blasted story! You are going off topic." Vegeta said in his intimidating voice.
"Let him speak, geez Vegeta!" Mirai Gohan said.
"Shut it brat of Kakarot!" Vegeta said. It was then Krillin and Tien looked up wondering what that was about. Mirai Gohan tried to pretend that he didn't know what was going on.
"What do you mean? Gohan isn't here now." Tien said.
"If you weren't all idiots, maybe you would realize. It's so obvious to the Prince of All Saiyans." Vegeta said with pride.
"As I was saying…. Dr. Gero created him to kill all of you. It is his grand creation. If we don't stop him from absorbing the androids, he will become far more powerful than he was today. He has all the cells from the greatest fighters on earth including all of you. That is what makes him so dangerous. We must stop him!" Piccolo said.
"Unlike you Namek, I look forward to a new challenge. You just want to go the easy out. Being the Prince of All Saiyans, I will take this challenge and destroy him." Vegeta said as he took off in the sky back to his training.
"Sometimes he really gets on my nerves." Piccolo said.
"Then what should we do?" Krillin asked.
"We have got to stop him. Let's get back to the house on the island." Piccolo said.
"Why don't we just find him! We can't have him going around killing innocent people." Mirai Gohan said.
"We can't. He has the ability to sense us." Piccolo said.
"Oh…" Mirai Gohan said.
"Umm, do you mind telling me what Vegeta meant when he said Goku's brat?" Krillin asked everyone there.
Piccolo looked over to Mirai Gohan and Trunks. Mirai Gohan looked down not knowing what to do. 'I guess they would learn sooner or later.'
"I am Gohan about twenty years into the future. I was the Gohan that survived." Mirai Gohan said hoping that everything would be ok.
"What!? That's incredible! Little Gohan is all grown up!" Krillin said.
"Wow…." Was all Tien could muster.
"Wait, then that means… no way, You're ve-ve-" Krillin was too surprise to even speak clearly when Trunks cut him off.
"Yes, I am Trunks, Bulma and Vegeta's son from the future." Trunks said as he looked up to Mirai Gohan. He nodded saying that it was ok. Their secret was out.
"Wow, you are nothing like your father, thankfully" Tien said.
"Yeah…" Trunks said.
"Krillin?" Piccolo said.
"Umm, yes?" Krillin said.
"Do you have one of those moving flying mobiles?" Piccolo asked.
"You mean a Capsule Plane?" Krillin asked.
"Do you have one?" Piccolo asked not enjoying being corrected.
"Yes, why?" Krillin said.
"Let's use it. If we find him that way, then he won't sense us coming. We would feel his power when he attacks cities." Piccolo said.
"Good idea!" Tien said.
Krillin threw out a capsule. Out came a large plane capable of holding a large group of people. They piled into the plane and took off.
"Ok, we all have to keep our power levels suppressed else he will sense us coming. When we find him, we will corner him and attack!" Piccolo said.
"Good idea!" Krillin said.
After many failed attempts at cornering Cell, they had given up and headed back to Kame House. Piccolo was irritated that they had failed to find them.
"Uhh, Gohan or whoever you are, Goku got sick and we gave him the medicine. He just got sick, so he is still ill… I thought he was suppose going to get sick earlier…" Krillin said.
"Whaa? Really? That is weird…. By the way, just address me as Mirai so we don't have confusion." Gohan said.
"Ok." Krillin said as they landed at Kame House.
They crawled out of the airplane. They didn't want Cell to know where they lived so they continued to keep their power levels hidden.
Yamcha and Gohan (a.n. remember this is Chibi Gohan now…) came running out to greet them.
"Uhhh.. Hey, it's you guys from the future. You came back!" Gohan said happily.
"Yes, it's us. Is Chi Chi inside? We have to talk to you two…" Mirai Gohan said to Gohan.
"Ok. Mom!" Gohan yelled upstairs where Chi Chi was looking over his husband. Chi Chi came downstairs to greet everyone.
"Oh hello…" Chi Chi said.
"Umm, this is going to sound really weird, but… umm…" Mirai Gohan tried to say what he wanted to say. He hadn't seen his mother since she died. He didn't see her when they had come back in time three years ago. Gohan truly missed her mother and was having a hard time with himself.
"What he is trying to say is that…. Umm…" Trunks couldn't get it out of him too. He was worried about the reaction. Telling them their identities in front of little Gohan and Chi Chi was tough.
"These two are Gohan and Trunks from the future." Piccolo said. Leave it to Piccolo to tell them of course…
Chi Chi had the look of surprise and once she figured out it was all true, she fell backwards and fainted.
"Mom!" Both Mirai Gohan and Chibi Gohan said at the same time.
"Uhh…" Gohan said.
"Yeah…" Mirai Gohan said.
"I can't believe that you are Gohan from the future! It's so amazing!" Yamcha yelled.
"Just call me Mirai everyone so we don't get confused." Mirai Gohan said.
"Right Mirai…" Yamcha said.
"Quick! Let's get Chi Chi on the couch." Gohan said.
Mirai Gohan and Gohan grabbed their mother and stuck her on the couch. Yamcha came in with some water and splashed it on her face to wake her up.
"Ugh.." Chi Chi began to wake up. "What happened?" Chi Chi said as she looked around. It was then she spotted her son from the Future.
"I can't believe it! Is that you little Gohan? Is that you honey?" Chi Chi said.
Mirai Gohan came over to give her mother a big hug. It had been nearly twenty years. "Wow it is you! Look how tall and handsome you have become. I bet the ladies are all over you. Grandchildren!" Chi Chi said in her dream like state.
"Mom!" Mirai Gohan said and blushed.
Trunks just laughed at the situation. It was rare when he saw his master in a situation like this.
"And what are you laughing at?" Chi Chi asked.
"Ohh, nothing…. I never get to see Gohan like this because you passed in the time you we came from…" Trunks said.
"What? How did you survive without me!?" Chi Chi said.
"Well, it was hard but we did it." Mirai Gohan said.
"So did you defeat the androids in the future?" Piccolo asked.
"Yes we did thankfully. It happened about six months ago.
It was then Goku materialized in the room downstairs using his instant transmission.
Everybody turned their heads at the now healthy looking Goku.
"Hey guys!" Goku chirped.
"Dad!" Both Gohan's said.
"Hey your back! Good, looks like we need help this time… I heard about everything when I was asleep. Earth is in for it again!" Goku said.
Piccolo looked at the healthy Goku. 'Good, we have a lot of powerful fighters here. We are going to need it. The androids and Cell are roaming the streets. This is going to get real ugly…'
"Wow Piccolo. Your strength is amazing." Goku said inspecting his old enemy.
"Yes, Kami and I were once together, and it was said that if we rejoined, our power would go up immensely." Piccolo said.
"Yeah… Listen guys, I want us to go up to the Lookout. Meet me up at the lookout. We have some training to do…" Goku said.
Piccolo nodded, knowing exactly what his old enemy was saying.
"Goku!!! You can't leave again! You just got healthy!" Chi Chi said.
"But Chi Chi, the world needs me. I promise once this is all over, we will live in our happy little house as a family again. Don't worry; it will all be over soon, I hope…" Goku said.
"You better be careful." Chi Chi said.
"Why don't you all go up to the lookout, but I want to talk to Mirai and Trunks for a bit. We will meet you up there soon.
"I sense something wrong. Cell is headed towards the androids… I don't know where the androids are, but I will hold them off, and hopefully kill them…" Piccolo said.
"You be careful Piccolo. We will need you against Cell…" Goku said.
"Yeah…" Piccolo sad worried about this whole situation.
"Ok, everyone else but Piccolo head up to the lookout. I will be there shortly…" Goku said.
Yamcha, Tien, and Krillin and Gohan left towards the lookout.
"Ok Mirai and Trunks, let's go…" Goku said.
"Be careful!!!" Chi Chi said waving his husband off.
The three powerful warriors were now in flight. Mirai Gohan and Trunks were following behind Goku.
"Dad, you mind if I ask where we are going." Mirai Gohan asked.
"Well, first we are going to get Vegeta and then we will go to the lookout. There is a room where you can train for one year in twenty four hours earth time. It's pretty cool! Just think, one year in twenty four hours heh." Goku said in midflight.
"Whaa? I never knew of such a room…" Mirai Gohan said.
"Yeah, it's well hidden. Very few have used the room." Goku said.
"Umm, why are we going to Vegeta?" Trunks asked with a little fear. He wasn't too sure about seeing his father again.
"You will see…" Goku said with a small smirk. 'Time for some father son bonding time!' Goku thought.
After a short flight Goku, Mirai Gohan, and Trunks found Vegeta. He was on the edge of a jutted out rock over the sea. He was focused with his eyes close.
"You two stay here. I am going to talk to him." Goku said to Mirai Gohan and Trunks.
Goku instant tranmissioned over to Vegeta. Vegeta cracked open his eyes.
"What do you want Kakarot?" Vegeta asked not to happy to see Goku.
"I know what you're trying to do. There is a room at the lookout where you can train one year in twenty four hours. Think about it, one year in twenty four hours…" Goku said.
"What!? Take me to this room!" Vegeta said.
"Not so fast… Only two people can use it at a time. I am going in with my son, so you can go in with yours." Goku said with a grin.
"What! Fine!" Vegeta said. 'Oh great…' Vegeta thought.
"Let's use instant transmission to go there." Goku said happily grabbing Vegeta's arm while Mirai Gohan and Trunks held on to his dad's shoulder.
"Wait! KAKA!!! Vegeta said and then materialized on top of the lookout. "ROT!"
"Ahh we are here…" Goku said.
"I want to go in first!" Vegeta whined.
"Very well, Mr. Popo, can you show them the room?" Goku asked.
"Sure, right this way." Mr. Popo said. Goku, Trunks, Vegeta, and Mr. Popo went inside the building on top of the tower.
The walk took five minutes and it felt a lot longer with a cranky Vegeta. "Are we finally there!?" Vegeta asked in his grumpy voice.
"Yes. It's nothing fancy. The fridge has a ton of food in it." Mr. Popo said.
"This is no vacation! We are here for intense training, now out of my way!" Vegeta said as Mr. Popo opened the door for him. Trunks followed Vegeta into the room.
"Once I close this door, the time will start. You will be in here for one year, but only twenty four hours will go by in the real world. Good luck." Mr. Popo said.
"Just shut the blasted door already!" Vegeta yelled.
"Good luck Trunks!" Goku said with a grin.
"Umm, thanks…" Trunks said worried. 'How do I get myself in these things? This is going to be rough…'
Once the door closed, Vegeta went to inspect the surrounding area. The living quarters was small and quaint, but if you walked away from the living quarters it was completely empty. It was all white, not an object in sight. It looked very intimidating.
"We are going to be in here for a whole year! Look at this place!" Trunks said, trying to hid his fear but failing miserably.
"Scared boy?" Vegeta said with a smirk.
"No, of course not. It is just overwhelming! How anybody can live in this place is beyond me." Trunks said.
"Too much for you!" Vegeta said with a continued smirk.
"No, let's get to training." Trunks said.
'How am I going to do this? I can't show him that I am scared! He can't know! I have to make a good first impression… Just remember everything that master taught me. I should be fine… I hope…' Trunks thought.
Outside the room, Goku and Mr. Popo looked at the door.
"Think they will be ok?" Mr. Popo asked.
"Yeah, they will be just fine…" Goku said with a grin.
"Let's go back out to the others." Mr. Popo suggested.
"Right" Goku said.
Goku and Mr. Popo walked out of the building on top of the tower. Outside, the rest of the z-senshi was waiting.
"Well, we have one day. Its best that we stay up here" Goku said.
"I am going back to protect your wife and Master Roshi." Tien said.
"Ok, but be careful." Goku said.
"I think I will too. I don't belong up here with you saiyans… Tien and I will make sure everything is ok back at Kame House. What about you Krillin?" Yamcha asked.
"I think I will stay up here for now…" Krillin said.
"Alright, see you all later!" Yamcha said waving them off.
"Stay safe…" Mirai Gohan said.
Yamcha and Tien flew off the lookout back towards Kame House.
"This is going to get bad…" Tien said.
"Yeah I know… " Yamcha said with a worried face.
The two human warriors flew over the ocean towards Kame House. In the distant, the tiny island became noticeable. The two warriors landed.
"Piccolo? I thought you were going to get in the way of the androids?" Yamcha asked.
"I can't figure out where they are! Cell somehow knows where they are but I don't…" Piccolo said.
"Not good! Let's look on TV and see if the androids have attacked anywhere." Tien said as he turned on the TV.
'The city just vanished like that! We have no idea what happen, but the military is investigating. The military is also investigating the mysterious disappearance of thousands of civilians. All that's left are their clothes. It's as if their body is taken out of their clothes.' The reporter said.
"Damn that Cell!" Piccolo said when he felt someone land on the island. The water in the glass began to move indicating that some sort of high energy being had landed on the island.
Piccolo was the only one to notice this and walked over to the door and opened it.
"Hello" 17 said.
Android 17 and 18 were outside of the Kame House front door both with their arms crossed. 16, an older looking android, was standing some distance behind 17 and 18.
"Oh crap. Yamcha! Tien! Get over here!" Piccolo yelled.
Yamcha and Tien came running over to see what all the commotion was. Both of their eyes went as wide as saucers.
"Tell us where Goku is or else." 17 said.
"Let me handle this guys. He is not here, but maybe I can take his place." Piccolo said.
"No thanks, but if you tell me, I will reconsider your death." 17 said.
"You and me, on the islands south of here." Piccolo said.
"Have it your way." 17 said.
Piccolo went flying towards the islands with the androids following close behind. After a five minute flight, they landed on a chain of islands. Piccolo, 17 and 18 along with 16 landed.
A.N.- Next chapter will explore Vegeta and Trunks's training more. The father son bonding. Also how will Piccolo do against the androids? What about cell? It's not going to be the same as the series, but the end result should be similar.
