2:34 P.M.

Sadness. An emotion to feel sorrowful for yourself or other individuals. A feeling that I never experienced; until now. Tatum was radiant and an admirable young girl, her words and actions helped me to realize that perfection is absurd. Furthermore, there was elegance. She had manners and was dressed very exquisitely. Her drawings and her singing voice were excellent. Everything about her was pure.

I told her mother about the incident, screams and uncontrollable sobbing was heard from her phone. I attempt to calm her down but it was too late. 'Why?' she repeatedly screamed that word. And then when I told her I will revive her daughter, she stopped screaming. Everything went quiet. 'I'll do whatever I can miss.' I spoke those words to her. She was softly crying, but able to make out a response. 'Thank you Cell, but… how?'

I remembered grinning at that comment, 'I will wish her back. Trust me. Your daughter will return.'

She did a little laugh, 'Thank you.' Then she ended the call.

After that conversation, I set her phone in her backpack. I turn around, seeing her on the ground. I grasped the blanket away from her body and picked her up. I carried her, leaving the arena. I levitated in the air, sensing for major power levels. For some reason, I couldn't sense any. 'That's strange. I would've sense them about now. Would they be somewhere far away, or somewhere high?'

I dashed through the dark gray clouds, sensing for them once again. It was bright and sunny though I look around to see a base. Suddenly, I sensed many power levels. I grinned, quickly, I flew towards it, knowing it would be Son Goku and his friends.

Minutes later, I've located their ki. They appear to be on a wide and large platform that is connected to a pole. Blue and red colors was the cover of the area, adding a white top. There were tall trees at the side of the platform and palm trees in the center. And yet there is a massive building which appears to be some sort of a mansion.

My feet touched the surface, seeing Goku's friends and himself are here. They whirled around, fear was within their faces. I glance at Gohan, his hair is golden, his eyes were a teal color. I smirked at him, he flinched. My face turned solemn, I look away.

"Away! For such evil should not enter here!" Mr. Popo commanded.

I moved towards them, "I'm not going hurt anyone, I'm here for a reason."

Goku stepped towards me, he grinned, "Sure. What do you want?"

I raised a brow, surprised to see he trust me. He is Goku after all. "A wish."

Krillin, the short bald man rushed over to him, clenching his fists, "Goku, what are you doing? He has a dead body in his hands! You can't tell me you trust Cell!"

"Listen to what he's saying! Goku, he killed thousands of people! He also found the Lookout which is a sacred place! If you trust him, he will destroy us all!" The green Namekian, Piccolo, shouted.

Goku turned around and gave them a smile, they flinched in shock. His eyes directed at me, "Okay. What for?"

I glance at Tatum and look away, my eyes lowered, "To revive her."

He widened his eyes, "Why do you want to revive this girl?"

I sighed, "I suppose I can tell you." I look around and everyone is staring at me curiously. "This girl's name is Tatum. A friend of mine. She made me realize perfection is an illogical thing to desire. She was accidentally shot by a military officer, for her being dead, I have no interest of killing anyone. Therefore, I want everyone that died from my hands to be alive once again. I also made this deal with a certain police officer when if I don't return everyone by three days, I will have to go to prison. I understand if you don't fathom my story though I did cause destruction on this very planet. I apologize for that, for I was corrupted at the time. I just want to redeem all of this."

There was silence. 'This is my only chance to make a correction for everything I done. This is my only chance for them to trust me. This is my only chance to revive her.'

"You're lying. An android would never change; especially you," Piccolo stated.

I frowned, "I am not lying, allow me to gain your trust, for I won't do any malicious acts."

Goku grinned, "If you are wishing to become good, then I'll accept that. I had rivals back then who are now my friends. If I gave them a chance, then I'll give you a chance to fix everything that you have done wrong. I trust you Cell, therefore, I expect you to not cause any harm. But before I make this decision, I want my friends to have a decision as well, including the guardian. Cell, will you give us some room?"

I nodded though I stepped back, staring at them in one circle, whispering to one another. I turned to one of the palm trees and sat down, crossing my legs and arms while leaning on the tree. I set Tatum down next to me, her body faced me in a sleeping position. I gazed at them and then at Tatum, the sun rays shined on her soft dark skin. I grinned but then I frowned, I shut my eyes. 'If she was here now, she would've done anything to make me smile or at least a grin. I would've done the same because I care for her; to keep her alive and happy is one of my main objectives. She made me realized who I was back then and how it affects people and how it affected her. If I am allowed to make this wish, I wouldn't call myself a hero. Because the true hero is Tatum.'

My eyes opened up, gazing at Tatum, 'Sadly, if I do make this wish, I will no longer see her again. I can't forget the destruction I made, the killing of innocent lives, and myself threatening to destroy Earth. Kurt gave me three days to redo what I had done, but I can't go on living and feeding this shame inside me. For my punishment, I must turn myself in. For the people to understand, for Goku's friends to understand, for Tatum to understand. Although, before I leave Tatum, I want to make this day perfect for her, though this is the final day I can spend time with her once more.'

I closed my eyes once again, minutes has passed by while I am meditating.

"Cell?" It was Goku's voice.

My eyes opened quickly, I stood up. I picked and carried Tatum up, I turned around and walked towards his friends, worrying for rejection.

"You are allowed to make this wish," Dende informed.

I smiled, "Thanks."

He frowned, "We'll be prepared to fight if you do anything suspicious."

I nodded, "I understand."

"Sorry if I'm interrupting but what about the Cell Games? Is it still going to continue?" The three-eyed man, Tien, spoke.

My head faced him, "I decided to cancel it. Before, it was mostly for me to test my perfection, but since I noticed the endeavor was pointless, the tournament might be pointless as well."

"Okay, but how did you know we were here?" Krillin questioned.

"Well, I tried to sense you on the surface but none appeared. I came to thought that you would have been far away but somewhere that is towering, so I went above the clouds and then I suddenly sensed many power levels," I explained. "After that, I went towards your ki and here we are."

Piccolo crossed his arms, smirking. "Hmph. You've changed. But don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean I've fully trust you."

Goku scratched his head, giggling, "Good thing Vegeta and Trunks aren't here because they would be starting a fight about now!"

I raised a brow, "Where are they?"

"See that door?" Goku pointed at the brown wooden door of the building, it was large though made me wondered of what sacred place Piccolo said. "That leads to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, an empty area where you can train. Time will go fast in there, one day out here will be one year in there. If you stay there long enough, the door will vanish, leaving you stuck there forever. But don't worry, they won't be like that!"

I grinned, "Interesting."

"I suggest you shouldn't give him that much information Goku, knowing he could train in there to destroy us all," Piccolo warned.

Goku simpered, "Oh come on Piccolo! Give him a chance! You know I did the same for you!"

He lowered his eyebrows, "Yes, you did. But this is Cell we are talking about. We are not sure how much power he can possess."

"He got a point there. But if Goku trust him, I will trust him also! Even though Cell kicked me in the face and all," Krillin sweatdropped, chuckling.

"So will I!" Yamcha beamed.

Goku smiled at his cheering friends, then he turned to Dende. "Do you mind if I can get the Dragon Balls?"

He stared at me, "Sure thing."

Goku left, silence was in the air.

Dende walked towards me, his face was solemn. "Cell, I do not believe you. A story you might tell, though I look for actions. I, the guardian, hope you make the right decision for your wish, for everyone on the Lookout and myself, will be watching."

I nodded, "I understand."

Minutes passed, Goku returned with the seven Dragon Balls. We all gathered around it, Dende extended his hands over the Dragon Balls, "Eternal Dragon, by your name I summon you forth, Shenron!"

The Dragon Balls glowed, a bright yellow spark shot to the sky, and then the great green dragon appeared. His tail meanders and so his long flowing whiskers. The sky immediately went dark. Dende stood back as all of us gaze at Shenron in awe.

"STATE YOUR WISH. I SHALL ONLY GRANT TWO," It boomed from afar.

Goku scratched his head, "Two?"

Dende nodded, "Yes, since I am not that strong enough yet, he will only grant two."

"Well, let's get into wishing! Cell, I want you to make the two wishes," Goku said.

Everyone's eyes widened, they flinched and so did I. 'He is certainly trusting me, does he worry like the rest? Would he still do this even if I was evil? Sometimes he is just a mystery as always.'

"Goku! What are you doing? We agreed to for him to make one wish!" Piccolo questioned.

He smiled at him, "Trust me."

"I can't let you do that, Goku," Dende argued.

"Please Dende!" His palm placed to the other.

"Guardian, allow me to do so though I have knowledge of the Dragon Balls' wishes very well," I suggested.

Dende frowned, hesitating. "Fine."

I bobbed my head, "Thank you."

Goku stared at me with a lopsided grin. I look away, thinking for the wish to be much more precise. 'I killed many humans but did so Dr. Gero and Android 19. There are also damages that needs to be done, which means that if we revive them, the people will be unsafe due to me destroying islands, buildings, planes. Some of the victims could spawn in the air or underwater, dying once there are Android 17 and 18, they can be brought back to life, but only fully since they are androids. I could show them the wonders of peace, if I can.'

"DO YOU HAVE A WISH?" the dragon roared.

I raised my chin up, "Yes, I wish for everyone that me, Dr. Gero, and Android 19 killed to be brought back to life, and everyone that is revived from this fashion shall be in a protected area. In addition to this wish, rebuild the destruction that the androids caused, including myself. Furthermore, completely revive Android 17 and Android 18 which they are passed on within my body, and make them human so they can live in peace."

Shenron didn't say anything, I knitted my brows, worried for his response. I glance at Goku, he smiled and gave me a thumbs up.

"I have to say, that wish is detailed. But why revive the androids?" Piccolo asked.

"I believe that 17 and 18 can change though this is not their fault to be evil," I said.

Krillin crossed his arms, "That is true, Dr. Gero was responsible for the actions of the Androids."

"But I'm not sure if we can," Tien scratched his head.

"We will!" A young boy's voice spoke out. It was Goku's son, smiling at me. "I know it!"

I smirked at him and look away, staring at the dragon. Unexpectedly, Shenron responded.

"YOUR WISH WAS EXTENSIVE, BUT— IT IS DONE."

I grinned, everyone made a smile.

"YOU HAVE ONE WISH REMAINING."

Everyone stared at me, I look at Tatum, smiling. I stepped forward and gently set her down. I raised my chin to the dragon.

"I wish for Tatum to be revived," I spoke.

He paused.

"YOUR WISH IS GRANTED."

I beamed, "Many thanks."

"YOU'RE WELCOME. I MUST GO NOW."

The dragon turned into a yellow spark, leaving while the Dragon Balls separate each other from shooting throughout the universe once again. The sky brightened again.

I crouch down on one knee, waiting for her to wake up. I then noticed her injury on her chest wasn't there, like if it didn't exist.

Minutes passed, she hasn't awoken. My eyelids drooped, hoping that I didn't made a mistake. But then her eyes opened up in a calm manner, my whole face lit up. From all of things that made me grin or smile by her actions, just seeing her alive makes me feel elated. She straightened her back, she openly smiled.

"Hi Cel-"

I leaned closer, my arms wrapped around her tightly, laughing I was.

"Are you okay Cell?" Her voice sounded worried.

My eyes shut, "You don't understand how much I missed you, Tatum."

She returned the hug, there was silence. "Did I die?" She spoke slowly.

My hands placed on her shoulders, I stared at her. "Yes, miss."

She widened her eyes, she glanced around, having a perplexed look. "Where am I? Who are these people?"

I chuckled, "Those questions will be answered," The corners of my mouth quirked down. "Tatum, I don't want to lose you like that again. I promised to protect you, but I failed. I'm sorry."

Her eyes went round, her mouth dropped an inch. She hugged me once again, "It's alright." Tatum gently released me and beamed, "Amazing isn't it? You brought me back to life, so we can talk even more! That's enough to say sorry, right?"

My hand placed on her head, I smiled. "You always say the most simplest of things that means so much."

I stood up and so did she. We turned around, realizing that they were still there. Some had smiles, some had grins.

Goku stepped towards us, "Hey Tatum! I bet you remember me before!"

She walked to him, smiling. "Yes I have, Goku!"

"Huh? What do you mean Goku?" Krillin raised a brow.

"I met her while she was visiting at the arena!"

"Speaking of visiting, where am I and who are all of you?" she asked.

"This is The Lookout, where the guardian of Earth lives which makes this one of the most important sites in this planet. I'm Piccolo, certainly everyone else would like to introduce themselves about now," Piccolo informed.

"Hey there, I'm Gohan! Nice to meet you!" the Saiyan boy smiled at her.

"Hi! Nice to meet you as well!" she replied.

The rest were greeting her with smiles and begun to have small talk while I watch from behind. Dende glanced at me and walked away from the group, heading towards me.

He smiled, "Cell, how you reacted to her revival, shows me that I was wrong. You and Tatum can freely come here anytime you want, but I'll always be watching."

I grinned, "Thanks for your understanding. I'll also say thanks, for allowing me to make the two wishes."

He smirked, "My pleasure, I wasn't thinking that specific to be honest. I should've known that if we only revive the people, more will die again, just like if we did that on Namek," He glanced at me, "Well, I suppose you should take her home now."

I frowned, "That's the major issue."

He stared at me with concern, "What do you mean?"

I gazed at Tatum, "I saved everyone, but I still feel this guilt from the killing spree I done before, which I must decide that I am turning myself in. The people, they won't understand if I said I revived all of them and renewed the destruction I caused. They will hunt after me, no matter what reason," I sighed. "It is for the best, for myself and for Tatum."

"I suppose it is the only way to make the public feel safe. Did the police officer say how many years you have to be in prison?" Dende asked.

I shook my head, "Not years, for life."

His eyes widened, there was a pause. "I wish you luck."

Before I could protest, Tatum ran up to me, smiling. "Everyone is so nice here! Can I come here again to learn more about them?"

Dende grinned, "Sure. You can come here anytime."

She beamed, "Thanks Dende!"

Suddenly, I heard creaking. I whirled around, seeing the Hyperbolic Time Chamber door being opened. Two walked out of there, it was Trunks and Vegeta.

Trunks darted to me, "Cell! I won't let you destroy The Lookout!"

He threw a punch at me though I held his arm, "Trunks, I'm not destroying anything."

"Lies!" Another punch came around, I held his other arm.

"Trunks, stop! You know fighting is not allowed in this establishment!" Mr. Popo yelled.

Trunks glanced at him, "I'm sorry."

I released his arms, he glared at me. "Why are you doing here?"

"Cell wants to be good, so he wished on the Dragon Balls to fix everything!" Goku said.

"You let him wish? Goku, do you even remember the horrors Cell done? You guys just gave him an opportunity to destroy us all!" Trunks growled.

"Trunks, I didn't misuse the Dragon Balls for harm or power. Only to redo everything that I and Dr. Gero had done," I stated.

He frowned, "I'm not buying it."

A sudden slow clap was heard, "But I am!"

My eyes directed to the slow clap, it was Vegeta.

"And Cell brought a little girl also! How wonderful is this!" He laughed heartily. "You can tell all of your lies Cell, but such a monster like you won't fool me."

Goku widened his eyes, "But Vegeta, he is really trying to change!"

He gave him a once-over, "Kakarot, has your dim-witted brain gotten the best of you? An android like him will never change, he will always be a freak, just like Dr. Gero."

"Vegeta, I can assure you that I am not like my creator. I learned better though he did not," I spoke.

He grimaced, "Disgusting. He's only trying to be on your side to get what he desires; the Dragon Balls. Since you idiots already let him wish, he could've let something out in the wish, something to wipe us all out."

"What is going on?" Tatum whispered to me.

I glanced at her, "I'll explain later."

"Even if that was the case, he still revived everyone," Yamcha stated.

He crossed his arms, "For now. So tell me, all of you, do you not trust Cell? Do you want to kill him before you make your greatest mistake yet?"

They gave each other curious looks though no one answered.

"Forget it! If you want everyone to die, then so be it. I can't bother of being in this pathetic team anyways," He snarled. He turned to Trunks, anger was within Vegeta's face. "Trunks, come here! We're leaving!"

Trunks' face went solemn, "I'm staying here. He is an android, but if Goku says he wants to be good, I have no choice but to keep an eye on Cell. I still do think that he is evil, but that doesn't mean I have to leave him here, he could kill us right now in this conversation. Father, I need to protect this planet, we need to protect this planet."

"You are an idiot if you are letting him live. A Saiyan boy like you should've followed me, but instead you are turning into that clown. I thought you knew better." Vegeta glared at his son and then at Goku. He glanced at me, his face twisted. "Hope you are happy."

Vegeta walked away while we stared at him, confused. He then took off, leaving us with a long silence.

"We better as must leave," I spoke. "I appreciate all of you allowing me gain your trust. I don't know who else I can turn to if you rejected me."

Goku's hand ran through his hair, "No problem! Sorry Vegeta and you didn't work out. I thought he would understand since he was evil before."

I grinned, "It's alright. Not everyone can fully understand. But one question, what about the androids? Will they?"

Trunks shot me a look, "You revived the androids?"

"Listen Trunks, I only revived them so they can be offered a chance to do good," I said, trying for him to stay calm.

His eyes darted, "I hope you know what exactly you are doing because if they won't become good as you said they will, this blame will be upon you."

I nodded, "I understand."

Goku sweatdropped, smiling, "I bet they will change their minds and don't worry about finding them Cell, we will."

I nodded, he beamed. "Well, see you later?"

I smirked, "For we shall meet again."

Tatum waved at them, "Bye!"

They returned the wave. I picked Tatum up and flew away from The Lookout, though they watched me from behind. I glanced at Tatum, her face was perplexed.

She gazed at me, "So, what happened?"
