Chapter 14: Chances
"What the hell happened…?" Krillin asked looking at the figure right in front of him, the figure who had just transformed into a higher level of Super Saiyan!
"Keep complete silence" Piccolo said slowly to Krillin and Chiaotsu who immediately obeyed…
"Come on you weaklings, what are you waiting for?" Ornichi shouted as he broke off into a huge laughter …
"You okay?" Goku asked helping Vegeta up, "What are we against Kakarot? His power keeps on increas…" Vegeta suddenly broke off as he realized what was going on, "What happened?" Goku asked, the reply to which came after a few seconds, "We… We are facing a Saiyan…" Vegeta said looking into the blind eyes of Ornichi.
"We already know that, so?" Goku asked indifferently… Vegeta now turned towards him and gave a sharp look, a look that conveyed all…Goku's face turned stern. He now understood what was happening, why they weren't able to defeat him, he whispered under his breath, "A Saiyan's power increases after every near death experience…"

"Time to get up…" Trunks said half – asleep looking at his watch which had started beeping…
"It's still early, can't we sleep some more?" Goten asked from under the sheets
"No! Now get up or I will tell mom that you didn't bathe for the past 7 months!" Gohan yelled as he got up...
"Hey, where's Jen?" Trunks looked around trying to find their female companion, but she was no where in the tent, worried he rushed outside into the woods, still no sign of her, "Damn it! Where the hell did she go?"… He looked at his watch and pressed a button, a loud beep later he was on track of finding their missing companion…
Trunks ran past the thick jungle, dodging bent trees and jumping over huge boulders. He suddenly stopped as he reached the other side. It was the most beautiful sight he had ever seen since he entered the chamber. It felt like he had walked through a warp gate and entered into another universe… In front of him was a huge lake, with water that shone like crystal under the shimmering sunlight. There was greenery everywhere and the chirping of birds felt like music to sore ears…
"It's beautiful isn't it?" Jenna asked as she saw Trunks being mesmerized by the beauty of the place they were at…
"It's… It's wonderful…" He managed to say, "Reminds me of home, mom, dad…" He suddenly broke off and picked a more serious tone, "We have to leave… They are here!" Saying he went back being followed by Jenna on their original path…
"Took you long enough…" Goten said sarcastically picking up the capsules that were once garden chairs and a tent, to the figure approaching from the woods. He was busy packing them up when suddenly his throat felt tight, his lungs gasped for air and head felt heavy; he was being choked to death…
Suddenly a voice rang in his ears, "Tell me where the rest of them are, and I let you go…" It didn't take him long enough to recognize the dark cold voice of Cell, "Come on kid, don't make me hurt you… Where are they?" He shouted again… Goten struggled to get free of Cell's stranglehold but to no avail, he managed to spurt out, "They… are… they..."
"Come on, spit it out, I don't have all day!" Cell said and loosened his grip a bit to let his captive speak, and this was his biggest mistake…
Goten kicked Cell in his shin and quickly jumping up somersaulted behind him and with full force came down driving his knee in the evil android's back bone, causing him to bend down on his knees. He then grabbed his hair and pulled back his head, looking straight into Gero's eyes, he said, "Brother's is going to be really happy to know what I caught..." and drove his elbow into his face and let an unconscious Android fall into the dust…

"Gee… They are fast!" Chiaotsu exclaimed, trying to keep up with the three Saiyans…
"Hey Piccolo, You think Goku and Vegeta have a chance?" Krillin asked also looking towards the three huge powers battling out, "If they don't, Krillin, then no one has…" the reply came…
