"Goku!" Bulma's voice came from down the hallway. Goku paused his workout, as her voice was one of worry. He slipped his legs from a bar that hung in the air to allow him to do inverted sit ups. Dropping to the floor and landed to his feet he moved to the door as his wife soon came to the door.
"What's going on Bulma? Is everything alright?" Goku looked at the teary eyes of his companion, she seemed to be attempting to choke down her tears though. Something bothered her but she seemed to know now was not the time for tears.
"Capsule Corp was attacked, Raditz can't be found. My parents' bodies were found, along with many others. So far, no survivors have been found, but they just started looking." Bulma said as she wanted to dive into his arms to keep safe herself. She couldn't imagine a terrorist attack actually making it in, and Raditz was not answering his comms. "I… I need you to go home and try to find Raditz. If he was there, then he may know something."
"Will you be safe?" Goku asked suddenly, Bulma shook slightly at the thought of herself possibly being attacked. Scared of an unknown enemy, one that could be targeting her and everyone else in her family. The pains of being the reason everyone died was slowly getting to her. "I will take you to the lookout first. Then I will go home, find my brother, and find out what is happening. You call the others and let them know what is going on then." Goku's eyes grew serious, He was fine being the target of hatred himself. He expected it but his family being targeted was not something he could accept.
"We should…" Bulma began, but Goku already placed his hand to her shoulder and focused his senses on the lookout. The two vanished in a moment and appeared on the lookout. The sudden shift of air was a shock. "Inform someone… first." She ended her statement with a sigh, Goku vanishing from her view.
Yurin came out confused what was going on. Bulma consoling in Yurin finally as she was in a place that she could let out her feels. Yurin took Bulma to a place a bit more private, but began to grow worried about Capsule Corps attack so soon after finding out 16, 17, and 18 had gone missing.
-Capsule Corp-
Goku appears overhead and looking down at his home, now just a rubble and smoke. There was still dark smoke rising from the ground, small fires that burned away the remains. This was the first time his home was ever taken from him. He looked down at the people surrounding the old building to see the powerhouse of a corporation crumbled to the ground. Emergency forces already at work searching through the rubble.
He could feel that Videl and Sharpner were on their way once they got the call, but would not be there quickly. His instead focused his mind to the scene below. His eyes closed; he could feel nothing. His arm shook as his brother's Ki could not be felt even this close to the scene. ~Please Raditz. If you're here, give me a sign. ~ The younger brother cried out mentally. He almost felt the pointlessness of the hope he grasped to. Weight on his body when a small explosion happened. Raditz's Ki suddenly appeared, but was weak still.
Goku rushed down quickly to the rubble that use to be one of the lab locations. His hand grabbing large chunks of smoldering rubble and tossed it to the side. His brother's Ki was draining still but at a slow pace. More and more rubble pulled away until his legs was seen finally! Goku forced up the remaining as he looked down at Raditz, his brother bloody and nearly crushed under the weight of everything.
A dazed eye looked to Goku before Raditz spit up blood, his hand grabbed hold of a hole recently opened by Goku's reckless pulling of rubble of his body. His lips parched from the heat near his body for so long. Another hole at his throat, stabbed through the front as blood trickled out. Goku instantly realized his brother would not be able to speak, much less eat a sensu.
"Don't worry, Raditz. I am going to take you to a hospital. We will get you into a healing tank right away!" Goku grabbed his brother, and instantly transmitted himself to a near by hospital. One that he knew had been equipped with Capsule Corp branded healing tanks, the same one that were backwards engineered from Freeza's ship brought from Namek. He had to hurry, otherwise Raditz would parish.
-In a secret lab somewhere-
Scarlet was suddenly tossed to the floor as the pink version of herself laughed to herself. "I honestly cannot believe it took so long to find out something was amiss. You did very well in keeping the place busy." 21 turned and looked to her alternate self.
"What do you mean keeping the place busy? I work there." Scarlet's eyes focused on the woman before her.
"You were planted there." 21 said with a matter of fact. "All the little inventions you 'made'. Those were projects Dr. Gero was working on in the background. The computer simply asked me what I wanted to do while I was still gestating in my own little pod, and followed every command. Once I realized that the Briefs were interested in all the designs, I thought it would be perfect to have some go in and steal all their little tech that doesn't matter anymore." She giggled at her own plans. Her eyes lowered to her human self. "But it has been a month of nonstop feeding since I placed you with them."
Scarlet cocked her eye in confusion. "You make it sound like I was always part of the plan. I don't know anything about you, or what you are doing? And how does this have anything to do with you eating?"
"Oh, because you were. Like I said, I planted you with them. Once I saw an opening for a position, I knew you had to go. My sweet side." 21 licked her lips at the mention of sweets. "I ripped you from my being, and put all my weaknesses and limitations inside you. My human form, and used magic to fill your empty head with false memories."
Scarlet looked in horror at the idea she was somehow a part of this creature before her. Then she said 'magic' and the scientist scoffed. "Magic does not exist you fool."
"I am a pink genetically creature ultimate being with the combined DNA of at least two separate magical people. I think I know what I am talking about." 21's attitude snapped violently into anger as she screamed at her human part. Scarlet turned her head and rose her arms to defend herself from an attack, but 21 never struck. Instead the bubblegum android smiled now. "Now where was I. Oh yes, planting you. I placed you in the corporation, stole some choice things… and saw you get all lovey dovey with that Saiyan boy. Oh, how romantic you two were, and how sweet it was for you to try and save him. Oh, how I wish I knew how it felt to be so devoted to a man's happiness and know he was devoted to mine." 21's hips sways as she placed her cheek to her hands in a dreamy look. Scarlet had a new found hatred for this woman mocking her, but her eyes froze as 21's tail grabbed her leg. "And I got tired of eating every few hours, wasting good clones all because my limits were removed. I couldn't power down and just burned all my gathered Ki because you were gone. So… welcome home. You won't be leaving any time soon."
Scarlet's eyes widened as she saw not the pink tail wrapping around her anymore. No, her leg turned into the pink mass suddenly. Her body changed and shifted tell it was a massless pink goo the absorbed into 21. The whole time she shook in extasy as she could feel whole again. Her body shape changed back to looking human once more. Her eyes opened as she smiled wickedly. "Now, let us start the next step of our plans. Shall we computer?" She opened the secured USB, and plugged it into the super computer as it began to analyze several years of advancements done to the Capsule Corp.
Cell soon walked up behind her, next to him was android 16. The two towering figured looked at their completed mistress and awaited orders, 16 silent while Cell more open to speak his mind. "So, it would seem our game is over. What is our next phase?" The grand green man spoke with a building pride. "After all, 17 and 18 are still in the middle of their… reprogramming."
"16 and myself will be headed to New Namek." 21 turned to the two of them with a smile. "There we gather the dragon balls with the scouters made by Capsule Corp, 16 your scanners have been updated for it already from when I updated your current body. We get a few wishes, come back. And then we finally start the party off right."
"If the schematics are correct, it will take you about six days to get there and back if it is like their old Namek's distance." 16 suddenly spoke up as the computer fed out information on the screen. "Building the ship will take a day."
"Oh dear 16, you have not been caught up enough. I didn't steal their ship information to just use what they had. Capsule Corp just had the location of Namek and the second Namek. We have already worked on our own ship based off of ship tech Capsule Corp has already let out. This just advances us a step, or proves our own superior model. Computer, status for our ship." 21 called out as the large computer worked endlessly in categorizing and correcting mistakes in layout to see if they missed anything.
"Minor corrects, ship will be completed in one hour and thirteen minutes. Expected time to arrive on New Name, Three days. With sensors and estimated size of planet based on astral readings from satellite surveillance of coordinates, with speed of 16 and 21. Estimated time to locate seven dragon balls should take no more than a few hours." A voice chimed from the walls.
"Good, so we leave in two hours. And be back before they could really prepare anything new. At least not without have a surprised look on their faces from what we bring home." 21 smirked. "Cell, I leave things to you. Make sure you brother and sister behave, and prepare the clones to start their assault. I want everything ready to go by the time I get back." 21 spoke with authority to her voice this time, and began to walk away. She was thankful for once not feeling starved, and could focus on the plan at large finally.
-On new namek (three days later)-
The Seven dragonballs gathered before android 21, her white lab coat flapped in the wind as the mighty porunga hovered overhead. The massive dragon body met with an evil grin. "I am the great god of dreams, Porunga. I shall grant you any three wishes. Speak now, and I shall grant them." It called down in Namekian.
"My first wish, is to have all the souls of the greatest threats of Goku and his friends to be brought here to New Namek." 21 spoke the same strange language to the dragon, the translation having been stolen from Capsule Corp.
"Your first wish is granted." Porunga's eyes flashed as it looked down on the human form of the woman.
"Good, my second wish… I wish you to resurrect them in their complete forms."
"Very well." Porunga's eyes flashed once more, as the bodies of many threats to the world suddenly appeared at her feet. The likes of Freeza, King cold, the Ginyu force, Dabura, and Cell all laid on the ground passed out still.
"Very good. Now, when Goku's friends came to Namek… Bulma's records found that there was a unlock of potential in many of the fighters. For my third wish, I want you to unlock the potential all that were just resurrected."
"Your final wish… is granted!" Porunga's eyes flashed as the bodies of the villains flared bright for a moment. "All your wishes have been granted. I shall now take my leave. Fare well…" The dragon grew bright before seven magic balls turned to stone before 21.
"16, ensure they do not wake. We have three days to make sure they play nice and get home." 21 turned away from the unconscious villains, 16 stepped forward with metal collars. The android quick to place them on the biggest threat he thought first, Cell with his regeneration was most likely to become active.
-On earth-
Krillin stepped forward to a large cave entrance, peering inside and seeing a large metal door. "This must be the place she is being held. Hold on 18, I am coming to save you." His face serious as he spoke to himself. He stepped closer to the door with one goal in mind, to free his wife from her imprisonment at all costs.
What threats is Krillin walking into? Will the other fighters be able to be prepared for a still unknown threat? Will Raditz recover in time to warn them of the power he faced? Let us see what happens in the next chapter!
