I do not own Dragon ball Z
The ship rocked in the atmosphere, but Arkh sat calmly with his eyes closed and his aura tightly focused. All his energy going into driving the ship forward. Vitrolic sat beside him and he was still also but with his eyes open, survying the ship. In the fifteen mnutes since this flight had started, he hadn't said a word.
Eighteen flew as fast as she could. How could that monster keep finding her? Cell was behind her somwhere she just knew it! He would wait until she had to stop and ambush her! She had to go somewhere safe. But where? Wait... that Namek had been able to hold off Cell, right? She could go to wherever he stayed and she would be safe... but where did he live?
Damn, where is Sixteen when you need him? She thought...
Sixteen looked up at the sky, his vision was not too good, it flickered and was slowly fading. But he could hear the birds around him, and the squirrels that were so near.
The whole in his chest didn't hurt but no wound ever had. He was paralized from the waist down but he didn't care. He had a job to do. Energy sensors tracked the strongest fighters on the planet. One power spiked above the rest. They were mostly gathered in one place. He began to slowly inch his way forward...
We looked on as the door to the chamber opened. Everypne stood still and held our breath as Vegeta walked out. His cloths were torn, ripped and burned, he was wounded, numerous cuts and bruises also adorned his face. One eye was swollen and closed. But his power... it was incredable! Pure Ki blassed around him and he wasn't even trying! He was wounded, not at his best and his power was still enough to cause us to step back!
Clare said " This didn't happen in the series."
I heard Trunks say " Father?.."
Vegeta looked over us. Searching our ranks for... " Kakerot, As you can see I have become more powerful than you can imagine. I have transcended super Saiyen. I have become the strongest. Now, what's been happening while I was away?"
We filled him in on the events while Goku and Gohan went into the chamber to train.
Vegeta said " So, I'm away for a day and this Cell absorbs the androids and defeats you all?"
He leapt from the look-out and said " I'm going to destroy Cell!"
I took off after him along with Trunks, Strike and Krillin.
Cell smiled to himself. Around him the buildings of the deserted city formed a jungle of concrete. But that was okay. He knew Eighteen was somewhere close. He could almost feel his perfect form. Could almost taste that power that it would provide.
Then he felt a power and turned to see " Vegeta, how did you find me?"
he took in the Saiyen's appearance more closely " Did you lose to Goku again? Perhaps come to kill me and reclaim you're pride?"
Vegeta smirked then turned to us " Don't interfere. This is my fight."
he smirked again. " Cell, I am going to show you the true power of the Saiyen race. I'm goingto show you a power that has not been seen for centuries!"
his screamed. His hair flashed and his muscles bulged. His hair grew longer, spiking outwards. And blue lightening flashed across his aura. The ground crumbled under him. And small stones rose to orbit him. Then he started to flash and golden light flooded the area!
" This isn't supposed to happen!" I called.
When the light cleared Vegeta was different. On a cursory look he was the same. But then I looked closer. His eyes were different. Faded somehow. More animal like. And when he spoke his voice had changed, more threatening and somehow a hiss.
Cell laughed and took a kick to the face! Vegeta dodged a counter and punched him with earth shattering power! Cell fell back and Vegeta phased behind him with a ruundhouse kick!
Cell screamed and shot at the Saiyen! Vegeta took him head long! He caught Cell's fist just as the android caught his! They stood like that for a second. Then Vegeta head butted him! Cell went flying into a skyscraper!
He got up spitting gravel and said " Vegeta, you're not supposed to be this strong!"
The Saiyen prince landed infront of him and said " what's the matter, Cell? Afraid that you've met you're match? I don't blame you. I'd be scared too, if I had to fight me."
he grinned. " But don't worry, I'm going to make this slow. In fact. I'm going to make this very slow."
he laughed and. His muscles shrank, his eyes came back into focus. He was a a super Saiyen.
" I'm going to fight you with only a quarter of my power."
Cell shot towards the waiting prince " Don't get cocky!" his foot caught Vegeta's head and he was sent tumbling back! The saiyen recovered in time to dodge Cell's tail and land a fist! Cell tore at him and he ducked back!
Vegeta ducked under the foe' next blow and kicked the android to the ground! Cell was on his feet again and sprang at the Saiyen!
Vegeta dodged to the right, ducked under Cell's fist and grinned " this is the best you've got, Cell? I'm disappointed. I had hoped that someone with my cells might be a bit tougher.
Still, I think its' time to end this, don't you? Gala Gun fire!"
the huge purple blast exploded from his hands and consumed the evil android!
I gasped as I felt Cell's ki disappear. Strike said " now, that's power."
Krillen said Aw man, I just know he's going to challenge Goku next!"
Vegeta smirked as the a rising power within the smoke let us know that Cell was alive.
The android stepped out, fully regenerated now. And said " Vegeta, you have gotten much stronger than I expected."
" I am the ultamete warrior!"
Cell phased behind him and before Vegeta could move the androids sharp tail impaled him through the gut!
As a surprised look crossed the Saiyen's face, Cell said " there's more to a fight then just power."
Vegeta slumped to the ground.
Trunks called " Father!" and rushed to his aid.
Srike followed. I stayed where I was. Somthing's wrong... I said to myself. Vegeta can't have lost that easily...
and indeed the prince got to his feet! The hole through his gut bleed yet he stood easily. Cell backed away " You can't regenerate."
" No, but I'm not stupid ether. Did you really think I would challenge you without a plan?"
he swallowed the thing he had been chewing.
His wounds healed in an instant.
" a senzu.."
he grinned " Now, what were you saying about power not winning the battle, Cell? I'm going to destroy you. And wipe out every last cell!"
Arkh looked up into space. The ship had long since left earth behind and was travelling quickly thanks to the power he was feeding it. " Where are we going?" asked Vitrolic.
Arkh said " we have to track down Slug. If he is alive then he'll have built a fleet at least. So we have to find out how many fleets were are commanded by a Namek. I'd guess not a lot."
Vitrolic said " how are we going to find this out?"
Arkh replied " easily, if Slug has a fleet he will have to refuel, and dock. So we find the biggest planet with the strongest defences. That's where he'll be."
Vitrolic said " Why is it always the strongest planet?"
it took hem only a few hours to link up with an orbital computer left around Mars by Frieza when he came to attack Earth. From it they learned that Slug did indeed have a fleet and his home base was not too far away. However they also learned that Slug was currently engaged in a bitter war with Frieza's brother Cooler, to decide the ruler of several large portions of the galaxy. The computer could not however tell them how it was going or wether it was over, as it had not been updated since Frieza left it.
" That changes things." said Vitrolic.
" Not really. " said Arkh.
" Yes, it does, if he's at war then Slug will have reinforced his planet and will probably not be inclined to let unknown ships enter his space."
Arkh said " there must be somway to get in."
Vitrolic said " I doubt it. If Slug as as smart as you say, he'll probably not be easy to get near."
Arkh said " maybe if we caught them durring a battle... Slug fights his own battles so if we ambushed him?"
Vitrolic replied " It might work, but we need to start that fight ourselves..."
" what do you mean?"
Vitrolic said " If there's a few things I learnd while fighting under Frieza one of them is this.
When a fleet leaves for a big battle, they let one computer work out all the navigation. Its' easier see, if they don't there's a good chance that the fleet will end up scattered across several sectors. So if we can tap into Slug's battle computer, then we can position their ships so that we can board Slug's and finish him off ourselves."
Arkh nodded " Okay, we'll give it a shot. But how do we get near Slug's battle computer?"
Vitrolic said " it will be kept somewhere away from the main fleet so next time Slug's fleet leaves on a mission, we board the Computer ship silently take out the crew, reposition the ships and finish Slug."
Arkh nodded. " sounds like a plan, but we'll have to be careful. If they find out what we're planning they'll blow the computer ship and us along with it."
Vitrolic said " agreed, but the com ship will only have a crew of about fifteen and hardly any of them will be soldiers. Should be easy enough. Unless they have scouters. I'm an android but you have a power level that they could pick up a mile away."
Arkh said " Then, you go ahead and take the computer ship and I'll board Slug when you've done the rest."
Vitrolic nodded. " You know," he said " I haven't had to plan like this since before I came to Earth."
Arkh nodded. " yeah, it will take us a few days before we're near enough to go ahead with the plan. So we should rest for a while."
Vitrolic said " can this ship go any faster?"
" No, I'm using all my strength just to go at this speed, so if we go faster then..."
Vitrolic nodded.
David stood a little way back watching the fight. Cell wasn't doing too well, he smirked. He hadn't seen a fight like this before! True, Vegeta seemed to outclass Cell in every way but he was prolonging the fight just for his enjoyment. A very Saiyen thing to do. But it didn't look like he would need help with this one. Still, he should probably stick around.
