Another chapter! It's been a while.

Honestly I have nothing else to say other than that lol

I do not own Dragon ball or any of it's characters besides my own!

The next day, Callion awoke feeling pretty after training for an entire day with Krillin and he was happy to go to work. Even though work stressed him out, it reminded him to be gentle with the things and people around him because being strong meant having to be extremely careful. Screwing stuff in just tight enough without completely breaking something or hammering in nails make being gentle a necessity. With each power increase, he had to readjust using regular strength in order to feel regular.

As Callion walked out of his home in his plumber uniform, 18 stopped him in his tracks due to her grabbing onto his arm.

"Work?" She questioned without another word and Callion replied with a nod of his head. With a smile on her face, she said, "have a good day" and it made Callion's heart skip a beat.

"She's acting so cute, why?" Callion thought as he looked at her, unknowingly wearing a huge smile on his face. "This is how I imagined it would be if I had a wife."

Nodding his head, Callion walked out the door and waved goodbye to 18 and quickly made his way to work.

18 sat in the house with absolutely nothing to do. She turned on the TV and only saw a bunch of spicy romance movies that made her imagine both her and Callion in a romantic setting doing things she considered to be 'naughty.'

In truth, she didn't mind sitting at the house and watching movies but once her stomach growled a new type of rage entered her body. A mix between hungry and angry, hangry.

As she got up, she opened the fridge and was surprised to see it full of groceries and drinks that could last her a few weeks alone, let alone him. "I wonder what his favorite food is?" She placed her hand on her hip as she looked in the fridge for any indication of what his favorite food might be. There was a variety of items, and nothing was of abundance. There was plenty of sodas but there was a variety of them. Same with all the meats in the fridge.

"I want to show my appreciation somehow… he's done a lot for me and the least I can do is make him something." She thought as she paced around the kitchen. "Callion seems like a simple guy, so maybe he likes simple meals?"

As she opened the fridge anxiety struck her as she closed it once again in contempt. "Maybe I should call one of his friends? They should know what his favorite food is, right?" She questioned herself as she turned to look at Callion's extra phone sitting on the countertop. "No, I'd rather die."

Callion looked up after he finished replacing a water pipe and smiled warmly at his customers. This had been the 3rd house he'd fixed to plumbing for with no mistakes and he was feeling pretty good about himself though having to restrain himself was putting a toll on him mentally due to him having to focus extra hard on controlling his strength.

Fortunately, Tien and Chiaotzu stopped by him as they were traveling through East City and it made him relax a bit, but he still wanted to go back home and lay in the bed regardless of how little physical attention his job required.

Just as he was about to get to his next stop, he felt a large energy appear somewhere in the distance near Goku and the others. It wasn't too far away from where he was because East City wasn't that far from Goku's house, yet he knew it would take him a little while to get there. Regardless, he took off in Goku's direction.

Gohan and Goku had got to the portal first where he'd seen multiple Salmon soldiers rush out of the portal but the most menacing thing of all was a large green creature with a very large power level. The creature looked insect-like with wings and three-toed feet.

"Cell." Gohan said with a nervous expression on his face, but Goku looked determined to stop the soldiers from destroying Orange City. Both he and Gohan dashed over to their enemies and began mowing through them until suddenly all the enemy's powers began to rise higher than they expected. They knew this battle wasn't going to be as easy as they thought it was.

Dashing towards his opponents, Goku hit them with attack after attack. Punches and kicks were flying everywhere, but for some reason they were much stronger than before. A rush of excitement went through Goku's as he realized the potential of facing off against stronger opponents.

"Salmon Wave!" One of the soldiers said as a large red ki wave shot from his hand.

"Kamehameha!" Goku yelled as he shot his signature ki wave right back at the soldier who didn't expect the Saiyan to shoot a ki attack back at him. They struggled for only a second before Goku's energy completely overpowered the opposite beam and it slammed into the soldier.

The soldier landed on the ground and twitched a bit while he was unconscious.

Screams and explosions were heard inside of Orange City and Goku knew he needed to do something about it. Quickly, he transformed into a super Saiyan and rushed into the city where he saw blood splattered all over the ground as well as blown up vehicles.

Goku attacked every Salmon soldier he ran across and knocked them out as quickly as possible, but the numbers seemed to only grow due to Goku not knowing how many soldiers crossed through the portal. Then suddenly Goku felt a huge power spike from directly behind him and once he turned around, he was face to face with the android named Cell.

Not taking a moment to hesitate, Cell pulled his fist back and struck Goku so hard in the face that Goku hit the ground and caused the nearby cars to fly into the surrounding buildings.

Gohan rushed towards his father's attacker but was no match for the android as the android grabbed him and threw him up in the air, only to be shot by a ki bullet that left Cell's insect-like fingers.

"Where are you, Android 17 and 18?" Cell said as he spoke in a menacing way. As he began charging up an energy blast to attack Goku and Gohan, Callion came down on Cell with a kick to the head. Twisting his body around, Callion hit Cell with a mean roundhouse kick to the neck which made him crash through several buildings. The glass from the skyscrapers began falling onto the ground and Callion cursed at himself for being so reckless.

Salmon soldiers began to rush Callion with nothing but anger in their eyes. Transforming, Callion rushed towards the soldier directly in front of him, pulled his fist back, and ran his fist directly through his heart.

With the soldier's heart in his hand, Callion turned to the other soldiers with an angry look on his face. "Tell me." He spoke as he looked around at the 12 soldiers surrounding him. "Who keeps sending you to attack this planet?" A news helicopter began flying over the battle and Callion paid it no attention.

"We'll never te-" before anyone could blink, Callion had ripped the head off of his enemies.

"No!" Goku yelled.

"I am a Saiyan." Callion spoke loudly enough so that everyone could hear him. "I am a born warrior, and I won't show mercy to any of my adversaries that don't intend to show any mercy back." Every soldier surrounding Callion gulped as true fear invaded their hearts and minds. "I'll ask once more, who keeps sending you here?"

"H-Hazel!" They all said together which Callion thought it was weird how they all stuttered the same way. Still, he grit his teeth in anger as the soldiers gulped at their impending doom.

Callion felt another power spike and turned around to see Cell dashing back at him but in the corner of his eyes, he saw the soldiers wearing a relaxing smile.

Blow after blow, Callion and Cell went toe to toe with each other and the force from their fist clashing was breaking more and more windows around the city. Cell flew high into the air and fired a barrage of ki blasts in Callion's direction which the teen dodged them all by flying away from each blast. The teen decided he'd need to fly out of the city, and this put a smile on Cell's face. As he flew away, Cell followed him closely and continued to fire ki blasts into his direction which Callion swiftly dodged.

In the distance Callion felt a comforting ki heading in his direction and quickly flared his energy up twice. In response, Callion also felt the same signal and he felt the ki signature shoot up into the sky.

Feeling more comfortable in the fight, Callion turned his head, stopped and charged back at Cell where they again exchanged blows. Callion knew he was stronger than Cell, but he was holding back for a stronger opponent to arrive. Now that he was sure that Hazel was pulling the strings, he couldn't afford to be reckless with his energy. Another familiar energy source appeared nearby, and Callion again flared his energy up twice and got the same response back.

Pulling his fist back, Callion slammed his fist against Cell's face and sent him crashing into the ground.

"Bird Cage." Callion said, then a cage full of Ki surrounded the insect-like creature and trapped him on the ground for only a few seconds but Callion knew he'd given his friends enough time to respond accordingly.

"Solar flare!" Krillin yelled from high in the sky, also using the sun as leverage for his technique and Callion quickly covered his eyes as the rays of light began to burn Cell's eyes and caused him to scream out in pain.

The other familiar energy began to rise. "Special Beam Cannon!"

Just as the blast was about to hit Cell, a portal opened up in front of him and sucked the beam away. Suddenly another portal opened up right behind Piccolo and his own energy beam went crashing through his body.

"Piccolo, no!" Callion yelled as he rushed towards his friend and caught him before his body hit the ground. "Damn it!" Callion yelled in frustration as his feet landed on the ground.

A spike of energy caused Callion to turn his head and there was Gohan standing there with tears in his eyes.

"Gohan…"

Power surged through Gohan's body and the aura around him pushed against everyone so hard that Callion found it hard not to slide across the ground.

In a fit of rage, Gohan yelled out "ahhhh" and his power rose so high and so quickly that sensing it nearly gave Callion a headache. A chill ran down Callion's spine as he watched the young boy who looked up to him turn super Saiyan for the first time. It was amazing to see, and he wondered just how strong Gohan would get.

"Could he…"

Enraged, Gohan dashed over to Cell and hit the creature with a barrage of punches that Cell had no chance of blocking. The power, the speed, and the anger was just too much even for Callion to handle but Callion's attention was quickly interrupted when he noticed a new energy signature appear.

Softly placing Piccolo on the ground, Callion rushed to where he sensed the energy and quickly saw her.

He was too angry to try to speak any words, so he went straight for the punch. The attack struck Hazel in the back of her head and pushed her into the ground where she then slid through multiple trees.

"Calli-" before Hazel could speak the words, Callion was on her again with the anger of a rhino and punch after punch left a dent in the Earth beneath their feet. He grabbed her by the hair, lifted her up, then slammed her back into the ground. He repeated this process a few more times, then he finally let her go.

As he charged up a ki blast to finally end it all, Hazel coughed up a bit of blood and smiled. "If you kill me, your blue-haired friend will die."

"Blue hair? Bulma! Oh no, she didn't mention little Trunks!" Callion clenched his jaws and landed another punch into Hazel's body. "Where is she?"

"I've m-missed this v-version of you." She managed to spit out. "A killer."

Pushing down harder on her stomach, Callion felt his anger rising. "Answer the question." He said in between his clenched jaws.

She laughed. "S-somewhere that only I can reach." After seeing the look of anger on Callion's face, she laughed more. "M-meet me here i-in five d-days with b-both of the Androids and I-I'll give her back."

"Do you think I'm that stupid?"

"N-no tricks…" Suddenly a portal opened up beneath her body and she slowly sank down into it. Callion wanted to blast her to pieces, but he knew that if he'd done that, he wouldn't have a chance in getting Bulma back.

Everyone's energy seemed more relaxed now and Callion could only imagine that it was because Cell had gotten away.

"Damnit."
