Chapter 54: Laboratory Basement
"And for that reason he stole Trunks time machine and for the last 4 years, his been on the ground to develop into the monster you see today."Piccolo explained. "So you see this Cell will try and find the other Androids at all cost. Uniting them is the only way he will ever become complete."
"Great. Just great."Krillin muttered with a startled look. "Once again it's up to us to stop him, isn't?"
"How do we find him now?"Trunks asked. "I mean if Cell knows that Piccolo is strong enough to beat him before he becomes complete, he will probably try to keep his energy concealed from us."
"Well, we better figure out something before he finds those Androids or I'll tell you what guys, we're going to be in big trouble."Tien reminded.
"Not just us, Tien."Piccolo stated. "This monster is a danger to every planet in the universe. Remember Frieza and his father are part of Cell now."
"Big deal!"Vegeta scowled. "I say let him become complete! If Cell destroys the Androids, he'll save me the trouble and fighting one battle is much more simpler than fighting four! I don't care how powerful he becomes! I'll still beat him!"
"Are you out of your mind?!"Minako growled.
"Hold on, Vegeta."Piccolo warned. "The Androids are more than we can handle. If Cell absorbs them, he will become more stronger combined."
"Do not question my ability, Namek!"Vegeta snapped. "Not unless you want to find out how powerful I really am! I do not fear this new challenge. Rather like a true warrior, I will rise to meet it!"
Piccolo glared at Vegeta.
"Yes, I am now a Super Saiyan."Vegeta replied. "But I won't stop until I ascend!"
Tien, Krillin and Trunks looked at Vegeta with startled expressions while Minako looked at him in disgust.
"I'm sure Kakarot will try and do the same."Vegeta admitted smugly. "Don't you think?"
"My grandfather would never do something mad like you!"Minako argued angrily.
"Careful, little girl."Vegeta sneered. "If your talking to me, I'm going to rip those pigtails right out of the back of your head."
Minako glares at Vegeta with a hateful look.
Vegeta looked at the others.
"Now if any of you will try and take on Cell or the Androids than be my guest."Vegeta retorted with a smirk. "I'll finish the job once you fail."
Vegeta powered up and flew out of sight causing Tien, Krillin, Trunks and Minako to cough at the dust as it cleared away.
"Sometimes he really get's on my nerves."Piccolo replied.
"Tell me about it. I feel like punching him in the jaw sometimes."Minako admitted coldly and looked at Trunks. "No offence, love."
"None taken."Trunks said simply.
"His going to try and surpass a Super Saiyan, is that really possible?"Piccolo asked.
"No way."Minako scoffed. "Not if he wants to get two broken arms."
Krillin looked at Trunks.
"Hey, Trunks. Explain this to me again."Krillin said. "Tell me what would happen, if went back in time and destroy the Androids before they woke up."
"It might change the future of that world, but it wouldn't change anything that would happen here."Trunks answered.
"Then if this time travel works, it wouldn't do us any good to destroy the unfinished Cell back in Dr Gero's lab, right?"Krillin asked. "It wouldn't effect the Cell in the future now, would it?"
"Right."Trunks agreed. "Not the Cell in my and Mina's world."
"But we should at least prevent another Cell from ever being born in this world."Minako commented.
"Alright, listen up."Piccolo instructed. "You three go to Dr Gero's lab if you think it will help. I'll stay here and try to track down Cell."
"Right, I'll give you a hand."Tien insisted.
"You know for some reason if you can't find Cell, you should head back to Master Roshi."Krillin suggested. "I mean you might be able to find him in the TV News Station."
Tien nodded. "Good idea."
Trunks, Minako and Krillin flew off to the ruins of Dr Gero's Laboratory as Piccolo and Tien watched them go.
"Man, to be stronger than a Super Saiyan."Trunks said quietly. "I never considered that to be a possibility."
"I find that hard to believe, love."Minako responded.
"Same with me, Mina."Krillin agreed. "But if it is possible, Vegeta and Goku are just the guys to do it."
"So can I."Trunks thought.
Back in Master Roshi's House...
Gohan and Chika were outside training as the ocean waves crushed in front of them.
However the Son twins had to stop their training when they heard their mother's voice.
"Gohan!"Chi-Chi called out. "Chika!"
"Kids, it's your mum."the Turtle warned.
Gohan and Chika quickly got changed and pretended to get back to doing their studying.
Chi-Chi arrived outside with a tray that contained fresh drinks for her children.
"Oh, you two are both studying hard to today."Chi-Chi remarked. "Why don't you have some snacks? You both really earned it."
Chi-Chi placed the drinks in Gohan and Chika's desks.
"My precious babies are all grown up."Chi-Chi said proudly. "I am so proud. Someday people are gonna say 'Who are those adults with their noses on the books?'"
Gohan and Chika let out small chuckles.
"Now you two keep up the good work."Chi-Chi instructed.
Gohan and Chika happily nodded and Chi-Chi headed back inside the house.
"I am tired of studying."Gohan stated. "We are supposed to train to get stronger so that we can help everyone like our father does."
"Your right, Gohan."Chika retorted and rubbed her forehead. "Too much studying so boring and not good for the brain."
Gohan and Chika walked away from their desks to continue their training.
Meanwhile...
Trunks, Minako and Krillin search the debris and smouldering rubble to try and find the subterranean chamber where Present Cell in his larval form was growing under care of Dr Gero's Supercomputer.
"It's c-c-cold!"Krillin shivered as he his arms. "Trunks! Mina! Does any of you have a suggestion of how we can find the entrance to Dr Gero's basement under all this rubble?"
"Mina, Krillin, you both better stand back."Trunks instructed.
Trunks began sending Energy Wave attacks at the rubble.
"Huh?"Krillin said in confusion.
"Let's help out too, Krillin."Minako stated.
"Alright."Krillin responded.
Minako and Krillin helped Trunks clear away the rubble while using their Energy Wave attacks.
After using Energy Wave attacks to blow up the rubble of Dr Gero's lab, Trunks discovered a ladder leading straight into the ground.
"Krillin!"Trunks called out. "Mina!"
"Did you find something?"Krillin asked.
"I think this is it."Trunks admitted. "Take a look."
Minako and Krillin walked forward and spotted the ladder that lead to the ground below.
"Well, what do you know?"Krillin commented.
"Looks like we found it."Minako said.
"Come on."Trunks instructed. "Let's go check it out."
Krillin nodded. "Okay."
"We're behind you, love."Minako assured.
Trunks, Minako and Krillin slowly floated down and headed into the chamber.
"It sure is dark down here."Krillin responded.
"Are you afraid of the dark, Krillin?"Minako asked with a smirk.
"No."Krillin answered. "I'm just saying."
Trunks, Minako and Krillin arrived in front of the chamber.
"Watch your steps, guys."Krillin warned.
Trunks opened the doors of the lab and saw it was dark inside the lab.
The purple haired boy placed the switch on causing him and his companions to see the items in the lab.
"This must be Dr Gero's master computer."Trunks stated.
"This thing is the brains behind the Androids and Cell, Krillin."Minako admitted.
"Then let's destroy it!"Krillin suggested. "It's responsible for all this mess!"
Trunks and Minako spotted a tank filled with water and had a small tiny embryo inside it.
"Look there is something inside."Trunks said.
"What is it?"Krillin asked.
"This has to be Cell still in his embryo form."Minako scowled in disgust.
Krillin became shocked but then frowned.
"Man!"Krillin retorted. "That thing is made up of cells from all the greatest fighters in the world! It has Goku's cells and even some of mine! Gross!"
"Yeah."Trunks said. "Especially since we know what it will become. Eventually this thing will outgrown from it's tank. After that it won't be long until it shed it's skin and then began to grow into that evil monster known as Cell."
Trunks glared at the supercomputer.
"And all because this computer is programmed to carry out Dr Gero's master plan."Trunks added.
"Well, I certainly don't want us to end up dealing with another Cell to terrorise the planet."Minako said with a frown. "One is bad enough."
"I agree!"Krillin answered and reached out his hands. "Let's just blast this thing and the lab too!"
"Hold on, you guys."Trunks instructed.
Trunks walked up to a desk that had papers on it.
"What is it, love?"Minako questioned.
"I can't believe it!"Trunks replied. "It's all here!"
"What's all there, Trunks?"Krillin asked.
"It looks like the design of Android 17."Trunks responded.
Minako and Krillin became surprised.
"Android 17? I don't mind tell you, guys."Krillin commented. "That thing scares me. It's those eyes of his, you know? There are something about them that are creepy."
"Well, in my point of view, all Androids are creepy looking machines."Minako insulted with a frown.
"Yes! This could be our lucky break!"Trunks remarked as he checked the plans for Android 17. "By studying this, we might be able to find out Android 17's weak spot."
"Hey!"Krillin laughed. "Great idea!"
"So that means there is still hope to beat those man killers!"Minako chuckled.
"Are there any plans of Cell?"Krillin asked.
"Nah, just some crazy plans for a gas powered toaster oven."Trunks answered.
"We got what we need, what do you say we blow this thing in slithering?"Krillin asked.
"Yeah."Trunks answered smugly.
"I like the sound of that."Minako sneered.
Trunks, Minako and Krillin blow up the lab, first destroying various machines and the super computer.
"Payback time!"Trunks shouted. "For all the suffering you've caused!"
The three warriors destroyed the Cell embryo while firing a triple blast together.
"We are done here!"Minako warned. "Let's get out of here!"
Trunks, Minako and Krillin flee from the exploding lab and flew up the air.
"Ooh yeah! That was a blast!"Krillin cheered and activated his attack. "Now for the grand finale!"
Krillin throws a final attack to blast Gero's lab which caused a big explosion.
Trunks, Minako and Krillin flew away from the area.
"Finding the plans for Android 17 was a lucky break wasn't?"Krillin asked.
"Yeah."Trunks agreed with a nod.
"Let's hope we find a way to destroy them for good!"Minako stated.
"Krillin! Mina! Take these plans back to my mother!"Trunks instructed. "I'm sure she'll be able to figure them out!"
"Sure, but aren't you coming with us?"Krillin asked.
"No."Trunks responded. "I'm going to find my father and train with him! If he really is able to achieve beyond a Super Saiyan powers, maybe he can show me how!"
"Your joking, right?"Minako scoffed. "He won't listen to you! He's too arrogant!"
"I have to try, Mina!"Trunks reminded. "His my father! I have to prove to him that I am worthy to fight alongside him! If I train with him, I might be able to convince him!"
"Fine."Minako murmured in disproval. "Just be careful."
"I will."Trunks assured and handed the plans to Krillin. "Take care of this, my friend!"
"Sure."Krillin replied.
"Wish me luck!"Trunks commented with a smile.
"You'll need it."Krillin responded.
"See ya, love."Minako said with a wink.
Trunks nodded and flew away as Krillin and Minako headed to Capsule Corps to give Bulma the plans of Android 17.
At the Kame House...
Gohan and Chika continued their training and they ended up creating a huge wave that towered over them before it reverted back into the ocean.
"We did it better this time, right Gohan?"Chika asked.
"Yeah Chi, we sure did."Gohan stated firmly and thought. "Don't worry, father. Everything will be alright. Me and Chika will look after you. We are training to grow stronger every single day."
Chika slowly sighed as she glanced at the window of the room where their dad was sleeping in.
"Wake up soon, daddy."Chika thought with a worried look. "I've got a lot to tell you."
Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter:)
