Chapter 20

(Piccolo's POV)

Darn it. Why didn't I see this before…this…this being. I flew towards where Kami last saw it.

On the way I thought about what horror, it did. To kill civilians. That is just a low blow.

I landed and waited. I sensed him for a second.

"You can come out now. I know you are here, might as well show yourself. Or are you afraid of me?"

I heard something walk and drag something else. It sounded like a body. I looked to my right and saw a hideous creature. It was disgusting.

"Who…who are you?" I asked

"That is a good question. I can say we are…. Brothers."

Ugh. What on Earth is he talking about?

"What do you mean?"

"It doesn't matter?"

He was holding a person. The person woke up and started to beg for mercy. He offered me money. The creature just laughed and threw the person in front of me and stabbed him with his tail.

I was greeted with a horrible sight. His tail bulged slightly as he absorbed the person. The person first seemed to grow weak, but then he just became a mass of flesh. After a few seconds all that was left of him was his clothes.

I looked up in horror at the creature.

"How…wh..why?"

"It's simple, I absorbed him. His life force makes me stronger."

I prepared myself for a fight. I could not let this…this monster live and get away with it. I slid into one of my usual stances. The creature laughed and powered up and I was shocked. He was a bit stronger than me!

He attacked and I also attacked we vanished and appeared, over and over. First I shot a Ki blast strong enough to make some damage. He blocked it effortlessly. While there was smoke around him I took advantage of his situation, and flew upwards towards him and hit him in his stomach. He threw a punch to which I dodged. I threw another punch and phased behind him and used both of my legs to kick him to the ground. As he fell he used his ki to break his fall. He then stopped. He laughed. Why was he laughing.

"Surprise, Piccolo."

He slid into a stance I immediately recognized as the Kamehameha wave. I asked him

"How do you know the Kamehameha?"

He chuckled. "You will soon know."

"KA.."

My mind reeled with questions. My mind searched for an answer.

"ME"

HOW!? How was this possible. The only people who could have learned this, must be under master Roshi's training.

"HA"

The only people who knows these tricks are Goku, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien…

"ME"

and Gohan. Still, It could be possible for them to learn somebody it.

"HAAA!"

I jumped upwards, to dodge the beam, only find myself entangled with the creature.

"Don't worry Piccolo. It will soon be over."

He used his tail and tried to plunge that cursed tail of his into my stomach. I dodged. It still struck my arm though. In the distance I felt, both Gohan's Ki clouded with worry.

He started to absorb my arm. IT HURT!

My arm was getting thinner and thinner. I had to do something.

Just then the army arrived and threatened to kill the creature. When the creature didn't respond, they shot.

He shot a blast out of his eye's at the army. I recognized that it was the same move Frieza used against Goku.

I then headbutted him with the back of my head. He flew back in surprise. We landed. My arm was looking like Kami's, old grey and thin. I took advantage of the situation.

"It's obvious now, I am no match for you. Without the use of my other arm I have no choice, but to surrender."

"Ah, so you finally have come to your senses, have you now Piccolo" He looked smug.

"Yes, but Grant me this, tell me who you are?" I needed more time to gather energy. I felt Krillin, Trunks and Tien's energy signal in the distance. I gathered enough time to finally break through to them with my mind. "Stay here, I have the creature at bay for a while. I will call you when I am ready."

"Well.." The creature began "Since you are literally dying to know, I guess there is no harm in telling you. My name is Cell. I am a genetically modified being. I am Dr. Gero's ultimate creation. I am the fused result of all of the strongest warriors on the planet Earth."

I was shocked.

"Another android! So that's why I could feel Goku in you and you could do a Kamehameha."

"Yes, I am from the future. But that's not why I am here. You see I need to absorb a couple of androids and those in my future were strangely shut down. They were shut down by a boy named Trunk's."

I understood Trunks was about to come back and tell us that he defeated the androids, but he was killed by cell.

"Why do you need to absorb the androids."

"Well you see, I need to absorb them to become perfect. You see Dr. Gero designed the androids to become a part of me. If I absorb one of the androids, I will transform, If I absorb both of them, I will be perfect. Another thing.. If I become Perfect nothing will be able to stop me."

"Ok, this is my last question. We blew up Dr. Gero's lab after 17 killed him."

"Aaah, luckily there is a secret underground base where a super-computer will work undisturbed for the next twenty-four years."

I smiled and telepathically called trunks and Krillin and Tien who now joined them in waiting for me.

"Well thank you for that information Cell. Now that I know what will happen, who you are, and what you are here for…. I can never allow you to become complete." I ripped off my old battered arm and quickly regenerated a new one.

"Darn, it. You tricked me. No matter you are no match for me, while we are fighting alone."

Just then Krillin, Trunks and Tien landed.

"Ugh, the cavalry has arrived. I think I should take my leave." He jumped upon a rock.

We closed our eye's just as he said

"SOLAR FLARE!"

We all grunted as the light was shining to bright. We almost had him!

"Now what..." Krillen asked

"Listen Guy's, I think you guys have to know what we are up against." I proceeded telling them about Cell.

Trunks told Krillin to come with him "If that basement is there we might as well find it and blow cell to smithereens."

"YEAH!" Krillin agreed

"Ok you guys go on ahead while me and Tien go and see of we can catch up with Cell."

"Sure."

(Trunk's POV)

While we were flying. We came to the sight where I blew up 's lab. We started to blast bits and Pieces of the ground to see where

There it was. The entrance to the secret basement. I felt my way towards a switch and turned on the lights.

There was a computer, a tiny creature in water and blueprints all over the place. Most of the blue-prints were for wacky devices.

"So there it is…." Said Krillin "The machine that is responsible for all of this…this…madness."

We looked at the machine. This machine was incredible. was probably very smart to create something like this. He was too smart for his own good.

"Let's blow that machine to smithereens."

I saw some blueprints about the androids. "Wait, Krillin! Look what I found. Some blueprints for the androids. We could possibly find a way to shut them down."

Krillin exclaimed "ALLRIGHT!"

"Hey..." said Krillin "Are there anymore plans we could use?" I looked through the blueprints. None as much as I can see. Wait….

One blueprint caught my eye. A blueprint for Cell. It was half-torn. The design was something else.

"OH NO!" I exclaimed. "Krillin looked at me, worried. "What?" he asked

"It's a good thing we are not going to let this creature live, Krillin. These…Blueprints. There…they are designed that if Cell were to travel back in time…become perfect and see another perfect counterpart, they would want to join bodys to become a completely different being."

"No way!"

"Yes, and another thing. It's power will be double that of both perfect cell's. That includes speed, thinking methods, strength power, techniques. That is where the paper ends. That BASTARD of a Dr. was way to smart for his own good! We can't let this Cell live."

We took the blueprints and started blasting the entire place, making sure that this place will blow up. Me and Krillin shot Cell deeply at the same time, destroying it, ensuring its death. We also destroyed the super computer.

We jumped out of the place and Krillin shouted

"So long lab!"

He threw down a Ki ball of extreme power at the bunker. It exploded.

I told Krillin he should get this to my mother. She would figure something up. He said he will be at master Roshi's afterward, he was going to watch the television to see if Cell would make and entrance. I told him I am going to see if my father will train me. I gave him the blueprint's and flew towards where I felt Father.

I just hope Goku will be fine.

(Goku's POV)

I was running in the darkness. I see light.

"Goku."

Who..who is there? Who is sounding so familiar.

Light. Arena

"Goku!"

I turn to to where I heard it. I know that voice

"G..grandpa?"

"yes it is me Goku."

"GRANPA!"

I run to him I give him a hug. I cry of happiness. I hug even tighter. Granpa hugs me. He hugs hard, harder. I can't breath.

"Aaaugh Grandpa, please stop."

"You were no match for me…little monkey!"

F...Frieza?

"I am lord of the universe!" He shoots a ball of Ki at the planet. "No, noooo!" I shout. It's all over. There is no Earth left.

Darkness.

"Daddy."

Gohan? I can hear him.

"Where are you?"

"Daddy. Please don't die. You are the light."

No son. Gohan I must live for my family.

"That's it daddy you're wining."

Struggling against the grips of darkness.

"THAT'S IT DADDY! PUSH ON THROUGH!

Awakening.

I opened my eyes for the first time in three days.
