Crazy trouble with love part 8
Female Cell Jrs and Gohan
Series: Dragonball Z

"It's over...it's finally over…" Gohan panted as he and the other z fighters stared at the large crater. "Finally...he's gone for good."
"Way to go!" called Yamcha walking over. "That was a close call."
"Thanks….Yamcha…" He sighed before they began to hear something in the distance.
"Huh? What is that?" Krillin asked in confusion.
"Mine mine mine mine mine mine mine!" Came a familiar voice as a jet began to appear in the distance, quickly getting closer.
"Wait, is that-" Piccolo stopped when it stopped in the air and began to descend down.
"Woman?! What are you doing here?!" Cried out Vegeta as the ship landed and the blue haired mother quickly jumped out.
"Collecting samples while they're still fresh!" She yelled while looking around and ran at the crater. "Please let there be some left behind!"
"Some of what, what are you trying to do?" Asked Krillin in confusion.
"Duh, samples of Cell of course."
"WHAT?!" They all cried out in shock.
"Oh calm down, I'm just doing it so I can study him, despite him being a horrible murderous monster he was an amazing accomplishment in the field of bioengineering."
"Um...Bulma? I disintegrated him, he's not coming back." Gohan got out while the woman smiled.
"True, but there's still a chance, a slight chance, there might be some part of him left. After all, don't you remember how he has Piccolo's cells in him?"
"Yeah, which was how he was able to revive himself from a single molecule, so I had do destroy everything about him." He replied, making her smile disappear.
"Wait...you mean…."
"Your little science project is already a failure." Spoke Vegeta.
"No…. no no no, there has to be something left, anything!" She cried as she began to look around frantically.
"Maybe you should worry less about that and more about-" Tien was about to point to Trunks before Bulma let out a excited squeal and ran over to a smaller crater. "Uh, whatever you just found."
"I found a body! It's pretty small, but it looks like a blue version of perfect cell!"
"How is that possible? Gohan literally made all of them disintegrate!" Spoke Krillin in disbelief.
"Maybe he missed one?" Yamcha suggested as Bulma cheered and opened up a capsule like box before putting the remains in it and re-sealing the capsule.
"Yes! This day just got even better!"
"Bulma, we need to destroy that body, it's dangerous!"
"Are you nuts? Who knows the kind of scientific breakthroughs that could come from this organism."
"Those midget bastards nearly killed us! No offense Krillin." Spoke Yamcha.
"Some taken."
"Well I don't care, I'm keeping it, besides I have big plans that I need this body for!"
"Like what?"
"Like for protection for the future, what do you think will happen if a threat like Frieza appears when you are all old and unable to fight, who will protect earth then?"
"Wait, you're already thinking that far ahead? You do realize we have the dragon balls, right?" Reminded Yamcha.
"Actually Yamcha, they work if we die by unnatural means. Which means if we die by natural means, we can't come back."
"Besides, that won't work forever, I have a plan that involves a cloned guard force that will protect earth, one made from the dna of the most powerful fighters around, sound familiar?"
"Bulma? I think maybe you should take a step back and think this over. For about a few years." Spoke Krillin with dread.
"Oh don't worry, I know what I'm doing, and sure the first batch might not be right, but practice makes perfect!" she smiled before running back to the ship.
"Uh, shouldn't we mention…" Piccolo trailed off as they saw her fly away before it became silent. "...well, I can safely say Vegeta just became the better parent at this moment."
"Well, that's a first...ok, I have to go check on my son." Said the saiyan with a groan.
"Don't you mean your 'baby boy'?" Asked Yamcha with a smile before Vegeta glared at him.
"I still have plenty of energy, why don't we see if I can make you distingrate too?"
"No thank you, I know you would do it." He shivered as he backed away.
"That's what I thought. Now let's get the dragonballs and fix the mess, later on I'm talking to that woman about her inane plan."
(Later)
"Woman, where are you?" Called Vegeta walking down the hall with his ever present frown.
"Down here, what do you want? There's plenty of meat in the fridge!" Called Bulma from a nearby door which Vegeta went through and saw there was a long staircase spiraling downward making him groan.
"Woman, this is borderline evil scientist, what is down there?" He called before floating down it to be faster.
"Oh just a private space my dad's used for….reasons. Figured it would be the perfect spot for my project." She called as he made it down to see eight green tanks, each which had a small blue fetus in each of them with the Cell Jr body on a table in the middle of the room.
"Look here, this whole idea is stupid." He spoke walking over while she didn't turn to face him. "All you're doing is copying what that hack Gero tried and failed."
"Ha! And that is where you were wrong! The problem was that Gero made them killing machines, I will make them better, I will give them a purpose, and some humanity!" She smirked with pride.
"I'm fairly sure these things only have about… ten percent human DNA in them?"
"To be precise it's about seven, but close enough."
"Look, either way this needs to end now, and I'm not above doing it myself." He said as his hand began to glow as he prepared a ki attack.
Bulma let out a sigh and turned to him with her arms crossed. "Wow, I had no idea you suddenly turned into a chicken."
"...what was that?"
"I mean if you wanna go ahead and blow up a bunch of defenseless weak fetuses who can't put up much of a fight, I guess the prince of saiyans is starting to feel the weight of what it feels to get his butt kicked."
"Watch it woman." He glared. "I don't care whether that retarded patchwork of cells beat me or not, as prince of saiyans I'm going to become the most powerful saiyan ever."
"Oh yeah, just like all those other saiyans who spent all their time trying to destroy earth. Like Turles, Raditz, and who was that other guy? The one who you came here with?"
"WE DO NOT SAY HIS NAME! And I am a thousand times better than them!"
"Then prove it, show me that you aren't afraid of this little experiment and let me continue my work." She challenged with a grin. "If you do, we can have some more fun tonight~"
Vegeta was silent and looked at her and then the containers while squeezing his fist with gritted teeth. "You….are….incorrigible."
"Thanks." She smiled as he let out a huff and put his hand down. "Besides, think of them like sparring partners if you will. When they get older and learn how to fight, they might be able to help give you a fight without going to Goku for a challenge."
"Like I can even do that now, the idiot went and got himself killed!" Growled Vegeta as he began to stomp away. "These things better not backfire on us!"
"Trust me, they won't!"
(Later)
Bulma hummed as she looked at a glass tube in the basement with a small fetus growing in the center of it. "Not bad, they're progressing very nicely, I'm glad dad had all this equipment in the basement already." She nodded with a smile while looking at several other containers with their own fetuses. 'Alright, if this works then earth will finally be safe once Goku eventually kicks the bucket.'
"So pumpkin, how's your little experiment going?" asked her father walking down the basement steps.
"So far so good, the fetuses are growing fast and healthy."
"Well that's a relief, and here I thought they'd be like when I tried my first time with cloning. Boy, that sure wound up messy."
"Yeah, I have high hopes for these."
"Yeah, but how do you plan to get around the power lust and insanity?"
"Well at first I thought about trying to see if I could mess with their natural electrons in their brain receptors to dumb them down, but then I realized if I did that, it'd be like making copies of Goku with less brain cells than he already has." She said as she shook her head. "Then I thought about what Cell was, he was basically the culmination of the universe's most power hungry and strong people, so maybe if I splice in some dna of someone who isn't a fighter it might mellow them out a bit."
"Just be careful, I tried that once with a beggar and it made the fellow explode." remarked her dad casually making Bulma sigh.
"Well that's what you get for using random DNA." She said as she shook her head. "That's why I used some of my own."
"Wait, so you just made eight new dangerous grandkids for me? Wasn't the half crazy Saiyan one enough?"
"Dad, they're not grandkids. Really you could think of them like nephews that you don't see that often at family get togethers. I just wanna see if it's possible to create a version of Cell who can keep the earth safe because Goku can't keep being brought back with the dragon balls."
"If you say so, though they're fetuses with your DNA in in them so technically they're your kids. I wonder if they'll imprint on you when they gain consciousness?"
"Dad, they're not baby chicks, they're an amalgamation of numerous dangerous fighters."
"Yes, yes, whatever you say dear, just make sure your fat friend doesn't eat them."
"I don't wanna even think of what would happen if Yajirobe tried to. Also, your own private chamber's been beeping for the last ten minutes."
"What!? I thought I kicked that fast bastard out!" He cried as he ran out, grabbing a shotgun as he ran.
'I pray Trunks doesn't end up like his grandpa.' She thought with a groan as she went over her notes again, not seeing the fetuses twitch.
(Later)
"Wow, they're growing faster than expected, I might have to move them to new tubes soon." Remarked Bulma seeing the fetuses were much bigger than before.
They were almost the size of newborns and a few of there were starting to squirm.
She looked at the heart beats and rubbed her chin. "I need to get the room set up faster before they get to adulthood." She said as she scratched her head. "I can't just leave them in the damn pods until they reach adulthood, then I'd have eight cell clones who have no idea of what right and wrong like him."
She pushed some buttons before wires began to move up and attached to the clones on their heads.
"If I can subtly try and have them learn with some audio tapes, then it'll make things easier on me." She said as she began to insert a disk into the machine. 'I wonder... should I put bombs in them like Gero did the androids?'
As she pondered the disc started up an education program with the sounds going through the wires.
'Maybe I should wait a bit, who knows why could happen if I put the bombs in while they're still growing.'
With that she went off to get lunch and feed Trunks while the small clones let the sounds go through their heads. All of them absorbing the knowledge subconsciously while letting out a minor twitch.
(Later)
"Huh, apparently my DNA has increased their brain capacity, they'll be virtual supercomputers, almost as smart as me...almost." She said as she looked at a monitor. "Thank god for Goku's genes."
She monitored each of their intakes as the fetuses had begun to look like grown young woman figures curled up while the brain waves were still. "They're just about ready, oh I'm so excited! If this works out without anything backfiring, I'd probably get scientist of the year. If not...well at least I spent my last few years working on something big." She said with a shrug, right as the door to the lab opened up.
"Um, Bulma, are you down here?"
"Kinda busy here." She called as Gohan, who had grown into a young 16 year old teen, began to make his way down the steps. "Come back later!"
"Um… I can't really do that, Trunks wants to know where you are and I don't think he should see….this?" He spoke as he saw the tubes and got a creepy feeling up his spine. "Uh...what is all this?"
"Oh, this is my side project, operation blue guard, remember that Cell Jr body I took a few years back?" She asked as the Cell Jrs began to stir.
"It's kinda hard to forget." He replied while seeing one of the body's heads twitch making him grow on guard. "Uh, Bulma? Are they sleeping?"
"Well, yes and no, it's more like they're in hibernation, though I decided to cut it off so I can take them out of the pods, they should be waking up any day now." She replied while seeing some bubbles come from another. "Scratch that, make it any second now."
"Wait, what?!" He cried with a surprised as he kept staring at the pods, right as one of them opened their eyes. "Bulma get back!"
"Calm down, this is all going to plan." She said as the others began to open their eyes and look around before seeing Bulma and Gohan.
They stared at her as she and Gohan just stared back.
"Um, Gohan, can you move? I have to let them out now."
"You sure?"
"Positive, and be happy, you're the first guy they'll ever see, though I'm pretty sure they've heard Vegeta's yelling." She smiled before pushing some buttons as lights lit up and the liquid inside the containers started to drain out.
"Are you positive that this is safe, this seems like a REALLY bad idea." Remarked Gohan keeping his guard up. "They are made from Cell after all."
"Cell Jrs, or at least that's what he called them on tape." She reminded as the containers opened up with the figures inside groaning and slowly moved out. "Besides, I've been monitoring their progress before I even started, and nothing that would make them act like him has been spotted."
"Really? So you monitored them outside those pods?"
"Well, no, not exactly." She replied with a raised eyebrow. "This is the first time they'll be moving to be honest."
Gohan looked at her and was about to speak before seeing the figures stand up on wobbly legs and went wide eyed since he saw the normal looking blue pigment on the skin along with white hands and black nails with the black armored legs with brown toe covers….but they didn't look like Cell. 'They… actually look a bit normal?' He thought in surprise.
The Cell Jrs, which were taller than the originals, each had feminine faces that had a lighter skin tone than just pure white, and had long black hair coming down their backs from under their crowns with slight curves to their physique and rounded hips.
"Wait, are they….girls?" He asked in confusion. "How did that happen?"
"Simple, I spliced in female DNA to make them different from Cell and thought it would help tone down his natural arrogant programming. That and I wanted to have more female faces around here. Dealing with Vegeta's crap tends to get on my nerves, not to mention Trunks' never ending energy."
"Um… don't you think you might be playing God a little bit? Also, where did you get the DNA?"
"Gohan, Gero played God when he created Cell, think of this like improving on something and showing that it DOES have good possibilities if used right. Second, I used some of my own DNA so they could grow intelligent a bit faster to speed up their learning."
"... If you're still trying to convince me you aren't playing God you aren't doing a very good job..." He said as the Cell Jrs began to stretch out and start to open their eyes. Each of them feeling more space than before while flexing their fingers and arched their backs to really stretch out any kinks they felt. "Just a heads up, if you start laughing crazy or I find any plans to turn yourself into an android I'm putting you in a mental hospital."
"Oh Gohan, give me some credit." she smiled. "If I ever planned on something like that, I'd be able to hide it WAY better."
He let out a sigh while the Cell Jrs started to rub their eyes and look around the lab with Bulma turning to them with a smile.
"Good morning girls, sleep well?"
"Where…..are we?" Spoke one, it's voice raspy and sore from never being used before.
"You all are in the basement lab, which is located directly under Capsule Corp, my home."
"Capsule...Corp?" Spoke another rubbing her head while recalling something about it in her head. "Large company...owned by Brief family...mad scientists?"
Gohan gave Bulma a look that basically said 'I told you'.
"No, we are not mad scientists, and I am Bulma Briefs, I created and raised you." She smiled. "Now I know you all may have questions for me, which is fine, but some info was already sent to your minds as you grew in those pods."
"Why...why did you make us?" Asked one as the others nodded as they racked their brains, going over the information downloaded into their minds over the years.
"Before I answer that, I have to ask you all something. Do you know who this is?" She gestured to Gohan.
They shook their heads no as one of them began to approach him. She was nearly his size, just slightly shorter, and squinted her eyes with Gohan being silent.
"Uh...hi there."
"Hi…. is he here for us?" She asked as she looked him over, walking around him as she did.
"No, he's just coming by for a visit, but this might jog something. Z fighters." Spoke Bulma before their eyes widened and it came back to them.
"Protectors and defenders of the Earth." Spoke one up. "Formed around the time King Piccolo tried to take over the planet."
"And this is Son Gohan, with a high power lever, trained fighter, and has a substantial body count." Said another.
"Trained by King Piccolo's own son at a young age." Spoke a third.
"His psych file says that he has severe abandonment issues along with deep routed and complex feelings about his father."
"Uh...Bulma?"
"His location is in the mountains in the old son family home, given to them by Bulma Briefs. He lives with his mother and young brother."
"Bulma?"
"He is currently 16, his birthday is May 18, year 757, is in his final year of junior high, and his favorite food is tuna steaks made from the giant bluefin tuna piranha hybrids native to the mountain regions he lives in."
"Bulma?"
"Impressive, aren't they?"
"Just how much information did you put in their heads?" He asked with a sweatdrop.
"A lot, they're like living supercomputers, they have a perfect memory I think, or at least that's how I made them."
"Son Gohan sleeps on the left side of the bed and most often sleeps from 21:00-7:00."
"Bulma? How do they know that? I don't remember telling anyone my sleep patterns."
"Eh, I probably got the info from Chi-Chi in a conversation, some of the stuff they know isn't that useful."
"Son Gohan is currently single for now."
Gohan turned bright red and turned to Bulma who looked away. "Now I KNOW you put that in without asking!"
"Relax Gohan, it wasn't that hard to know. Name one girl you've hung out with, that wasn't related to you or wasn't some super powerful fighter that was a danger to the planet."
"...not the point." He muttered before shaking his head. "Look, I just came by to let you know that my mom's working on the paperwork to get me into Orange High after I graduate, but she thinks if you could write a letter of approval for me, it'd really get me inside."
"Really, the top scientist in the world and the CEO of capsule corp? Gohan a letter from capsule corp alone would get you into any school, but one from me? They'll be going head over heels to let you in." She chuckled with a grin. "Sure, I'll go write it up quick, do you mind looking after the Cell Jrs quick?"
"Uh actually-"
"Great, have fun, and answer any questions they ask, and be nice!" She called as she began to race up the stairs. 'Thanks for this Chi-Chi, if I record how they act with him I can see how they're doing!'
Gohan blinked as Bulma slammed the door shut before turning to the female clones who all stared at him in silence. 'What do I even talk to them about, how I helped kill their previous versions before?!'
"Son Gohan." Spoke one up walking over. "Tell us, what is the world like outside here?"
"Outside here? Well, outside here would be the capsule corp property, it's in the middle of a pretty large city." He replied while scratching his cheek. "The city's got tons of places to see and lots of people who live it in."
"Innocents and civilians who are easily harmed in an urban setting, correct?" asked one with a emotionless tone.
"Yeah, if you wanna think of it like that."He said with a sweatdrop. 'Did you leave them any emotions Bulma, they sound like robots!'
"Isn't that odd? What if a new threat shows up and threatens their home?"
"Um… I guess it's just a risk they take? Plus they also trust the police to keep them safe I guess?" He replied awkwardly.
"That seems illogical seeing how there are beings that can blow up planets."
"Well, uh...let's change the subject, how does it feel to be awake?"
"It feels...odd. All I knew was floating and being weightless, all I could hear was a voice in my head feeding me info." Spoke one with the others nodding. "Being able to actually walk on the floor and feel the air feels like….what's the word?"
"Dream?"
"Yeah, that… I kinda miss that voice, but now it feels...nice to not have it too?" Said one as the others nodded.
"Well, think of it now as your chance to be your own person and to experience the world in a new way." spoke Gohan as they looked confused.
"Own...person?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you can have unique experiences, see new things, grow into your own person and learn things that you never could when you were in those tanks." He clarified. "Like for example, you could try and play an instrument, or be into science, or even learn how to sing."
"So….we can do anything we wish now?"
"Well I don't know about ANYTHING. I mean, Bulma must have told you all what you're gonna do, right?"
"I have some info on us being protectors of this world, but it seems futile since everything will end eventually, correct?" Said one as the others nodded. "And I do have questions and experiences that are mentioned in my memories, but I have not done."
"Well, if you have questions, go ahead and ask, I'll answer as best as I can."
"What does sexual intercourse feel like?" Asked one as Gohan gasped and began to blush.
"W-W-What?!" He let out with wide eyes as the clones kept calm expressions.
"I believe the proper term used is sex, or fucking. Do you know what it feels like?" Asked another as she approached him. "You are at the average age where a youth is most likely to start fucking with females or males, have you done it yet?"
"N-N-N-NO!" He shook his head quickly.
"Really? But you are above average in looks, have a strong body and are taller than the average male, surely you would be a prime mating partner, correct?" Asked another with Gohan breaking into a nervous sweat and tugged at his collar.
"W-Well...I uh...I haven't…."
"Ah, you haven't found a partner strong enough to survive a bout in bed with you, is that it?" Asked another, keeping a calm face as he managed to blush even more.
"N-No!"
"So you are still looking?"
"N-No, I'm no-"
"Ah, I understand, you wish to do the act with one or all of us, correct?"
Gohan's jaw hit the floor and was turning so much red steam left his ears right as Bulma came walking down the stairs.
'Hey Gohan, I got the lett- whoa!" She cried as the half saiyan flew past her, grabbing the sheet of paper from her hands.
"ThanksBulmagottago!"
Bulma looked at the flying saiyan in confusion before she began to hear a snicker behind her. She turned to the clones and saw them snickering together. "What did I miss?"
"Hehehe, we decided to try out a 'joke' on him, it was hilarious to see him get all red!" Laughed one, breaking the dam as they all began to laugh hysterically.
"Wow, really? Now I gotta know what you said." Smiled Bulma.
"We asked if he had had sex yet, then teased hima bit by doing the whole 'robot' act and then asked if he wanted to do us!"
"...wow, I wish I got that on camera!" Laughed Bulma with them. "Wait, I did, yes! Thank you lab cams!"
"Yeah…. So, when is he coming back again?"
"Well that I don't know. Now that he'll be going to high school after a few months, chances are his mom will be making him hit the books early."
"What? Unacceptable, I want to see him again!" Said one with a frown as the others nodded.
"Easy there, even if you can't see him yet, this'll give you a chance to learn more stuff about the world and meet the others."
"Ugh, fine….Groaned one before getting an idea. 'Wait, we know where he is, we know when and where he will be and where he will be attending high school and what junior high he's at, we can go see him later at our leisure!'
'Genius! But maybe we should hold off, just until we know what Bulma will show us.' Thought another one through her mind.
'Good call, let's head out when she and everyone else is asleep, anyone else figured out flying yet?' Thought another as the others also mentally chimed in.
'No, I don't think I can feel any 'ki' in my body yet.'
'Well we did recently awaken, seems we'll have to do some training to get into shape.'
'Ok, that makes sense...shit, Bulma's still talking, was anyone listening?'
"And then we'll come back here and I'll show you to your new room. Any questions?"
"Um, are we all sleeping in the same room? Won't it be cramped?"
"I already came prepared and renovated a part of the house to hold all of you girls with plenty of space. It'd be kinda unwelcoming if I let you all sleep in a dark, cold basement."
"Yeah, I guess so, and is this room located above ground, and will it have eight beds or one large one?"
"Above of course, and eight, I know how it is for girls to share space and figured if you shared a bed it'd get pretty annoying real fast."
"Ok, so, what do we do now?" Asked one curiously. "Is there anything specific you want us to do right now?"
"Nope, right now I think you all need a tour of the building so you know how to get around, but starting tomorrow is when you start training. The gravity room will help you out for a bit, but up to a point. After that, you'll find out how to really fight by training with my son and husband."
"So what you're saying is that after the tour we're free to do what we want?"
"Well you have to stay inside of course. I don't want you causing a panic out in the streets and think we're being invaded. It'll take time for people to adjust to girls with your….pigmentation." She said as she rubbed the back of her head. "Come on, I'll give you the tour."
'Once she's done let's find a computer so we can figure out the fastest route from here to Gohan's place.'
'But we can't fly yet.'
'I know that, I mean if we know it ahead of time, it'll make sneaking out much easier.'
'Huh, good point, let's do it.'
(Later)
Suffice to say the clones were amazed was minor. After seeing the whole place and being introduced to Bulma's family, they felt comfy and welcomed, especially when Bulma's dad showed interest on how they were grown so quick while eyeing his wife, but the info they were told about the two said 'Best not to ask too much', which they left alone. They were now resting in their room, each with a laptop they managed to acquire from Bulma for the purpose of 'studying', which really meant they were soaking up as much knowledge as possible.
"Wow, apparently starfish can regenerate limbs after they've been bitten off."
"Big whoop, we can do that too, right?"
"It's just interesting to find a creature similar to that."
"I find it rather interesting on how so many strong creatures can be held in these 'zoos' when they've been known to kill humans so easily." Remarked one watching a bull bucking a person off it's back and others running from it.
"Hey, I just found an old video of a green guy who kinda looks like us…. He just absorbed a person!"
"Wait, really? Can we do that?"
"I'm not sure. He used his tail." She showed them the video as they watched and were stunned to see the pointed tip slurp up the person till all that was left were their clothes. "I don't know why, but I keep watching it over and over."
"Huh… any idea what he's called?"
"Yeah, it's….Cell? Wait, if we're Cell Jrs….. then is he the original one?"
"Not possible, we're colored blue and resemble more human than him. Well….at least our faces and bodies."
"But we have wings like his, albeit more sleeker and black."
"And we don't have tails...although we do have what appears to be stinger points."
"Maybe we can absorb things with them? Also if we have wings then that means we can fly, right?"
"Maybe that's how we fly, instead of using ki."
"So we shouldn't need to wait and learn how to use it if we wanted to fly."
"Well excuse me for not quite knowing how my body works for only being conscious for about 12 hours!"
"Don't get mad at me, you're the one not seeing the obvious!"
The two glared at the other and put the laptops down with the others looking at them.
"You two need to calm down."
"Yeah, no need to start a fight so soon, besides, this also means that we could theoretically go find Gohan now."
That got their attention before they smiled at the idea before hearing a knock at the door. "Come in."
"Hey girls, how are you all settling in?" Bulma poked her head in with a smile.
"We're settling just fine Bulma, but we do have a question." Piped up one before pointing to the video of Cell. "This being here, is he the original? The person we were made from?"
Bulma paled as she saw the video before sighing. "No….well, not exactly." She said as she walked in and took the computer before hitting some buttons before showing them a clip of the original Cell Jrs. "To be clear, these guys are the original template."
"What? They're the ones we were originally based on? Then who's the green guy?"
"He's Cell, he made the first Cell Jrs before they were all killed."
"Wait….I read about something like this. They looked male, but to be born is either by grown or natural ways. Does that mean he created them similar to a seahorse?"
"Well to be honest, it's complicated, but in a way that's easier, yes. I wanted to hold off on this till later, but since it's brought up, I'll tell you everything, but I wanna make one thing clear. Just because you were made from the Cell Jrs in this video, it doesn't mean you ARE them, ok? Being made from the same material doesn't automatically mean you are them. Clones or not, you can learn things they couldn't and be taught more things that don't involve blind killing and destruction. Do I make myself clear?"
"Understood… but you said they were killed, so who killed them originally? Who did them in, and why?"
"You already know who, you just met him after you woke up." She said, surprising them. "And before you start, they attacked first and were trying to kill him, so he didn't have a choice."
All of them were stunned before one of them looked at Bulma serious.
"Tell us everything."
"Alright, but keep in mind, it's pretty messed up in some parts." She said before she began to tell them the story of Cell.
(Later)
"And then Gohan disintegrated him, I arrived at the scene and found the corpse of one of the Cell Jrs, and the rest is history." she finished with the clones all stunned speechless.
"So….we were made by the children of Cell, as clones, who in turn is the amalgamation of numerous fighters from this planet and others, who grew in a tube like us, and who came from an alternate time so he could absorb two cyborgs and become 'perfect', is that right?"
"Yep, that pretty much sums it all up."
"... that's crazy!"
"How does any of that make sense?!"
"Trust me, I asked myself that too, but with all the stuff I saw just after meeting Goku, I've learned to keep a really open mind about new stuff." She said with a shrug.
"So… Gohan was nervous around us because he was the one who killed our previous incarnations?"
"Well that's one part of it." She said with a chuckle. "Another part is that he's completely clueless what to do around women."
"Huh….based on the data you gave us, that would make sense, even if it seems rather odd given his current physique and power."
"Trust me, Saiyans, and especially the Son men are useless around females, they don't know what to do." She sighed shaking her head. "With Goku, he got hit on the head and is pretty clueless on stuff that isn't fighting. He actually thought getting married was some food."
"But being married is a ceremony between a man and woman to show their love, right?"
"Yes, but no one told HIM that, and Gohan has only really interacted with his mother, and his junior high experience has essentially been him being home schooled."
"Wait, but we found records of him at a junior high!"
"Faked by yours truly." she smiled with pride.
"Wait, but why would you…"
"Because high schools tend to look disfavorably on people who are homeschooled, so I did it for Chi-Chi as a favor." She replied with a shrug. "Besides, it'll be good for him to attend a real school, maybe then he can be a little more confident because he's got brawn and brains, both very good on an application."
"Yeah… so he's really never interacted with women besides you and his mother?" Asked one as the others began to get some devious ideas.
"That's right. The only other would be my mom, but that was just one time. If he ever met Launch, chances are he'd really be shy."
"Good to know, we'll store that information away for next time… so he's single right?"
"Yeah, I made sure to put that in your memories as a joke, remember? I wanted to get a good chuckle when he got bashful."
"Just making sure the info was accurate, though it won't be for long~" Chuckled one as the others nodded.
Bulma blinked. "Wait...are you all...ok, now that's something to put down for later." She muttered to herself before shaking her head. "Anyways, I came by to let you know it was time to go to bed and to get plenty of rest, you'll need it for training tomorrow."
"Ok, and are you going to sleep too?" Asked one 'innocently'.
"Not yet, I wanna make sure my notes in the basement are ordered before putting them away."
"Ok, well goodnight, see you tomorrow." One said as she began to push Bulma out of the room. When the door was shut she turned the others with a grin. "You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Oh yeah, time for a little trip to the mountains!"
(Later)
The clones all quietly descended out of their window and carefully climbed down to the ground.
"Ok, if we can get skyward, then it's just a matter of time to reach the mountains, we have to be as quiet as we can."
"And fast. We can't let Bulma know we're gone."
"Right, now let's see if we can fly!" Spoke one before she jumped up as high as she could while spreading her wings….only to fall right on her face. "Oh come on, not fair, I have freaking wings, don't tell me I'm a damn ostrich!"
"Hmm, it might be due to the fact there's no wind, so we can't glide with them at the moment."
"Ugh, come on, we should at least be able to flap them and take off!"
One of them moved over near a palm tree and tried climbing up with a grunt. "I am not staying stuck here because my damn wings aren't working right!"
"What are you doing?"
"I'm gonna jump and fly!" She spoke reaching the top and spread the wings out before jumping….and promptly fell down.
"Come on, did you really expect that to work?"
"It was worth a try." She grumbled as she got up. "So, what now?"
"...Steal a plane?"
"Maybe we should go back inside." spoke one making the others turn towards her. "It seems like we can't really do anything right now with these wings, so I guess learning how to use ki is our best choice."
"Ugh, fine, but this still sucks!" Grumbled one as they began to climb back into their room.
(Later)
Knock knock
"Girls? You up yet? It's time for breakfast." Bulma called as she heard several groans. "We got pancakes and meat, and I have some news, me and Vegeta got into a fight last night so he can't teach you ki today." She said as the groans grew louder. "So I called Gohan and he should be here so-"
"Really?!" They spoke opening the door up with brightened looks on their faces.
"Yeah, he should be over soon, so get ready and eat up." She said with a grin. 'That should set a fire under them.'
"Yes!" Cheered the clones before they barreled past Bulma making her chuckle.
'Oh Gohan, it seems you have a fan club.' She thought as she followed the clones to the kitchen.
(Later)
"Come on, where is he?"
"Did Bulma just trick us?"
"Yeah, I don't sense him anywhere!" They called as Bulma began to sweat nervously.
'Come on Gohan, where are you?' She thought. "Relax girls, I'm sure he'll be here any second."
"He better or we'll go find him!"
"Yeah!" They called before Bulma spotted a familiar yellow cloud coming towards them.
"Well no need, I can see him from here." She smiled pointing out the window making them turn as the cloud headed for the window where they saw Gohan on it.
"GOHAN!" They cried happily before leaping through the window towards him.
"Wait!" Called Bulma, only to see them fall out the window before she grabbed one of their legs, while she grabbed the one in front of her which lead to them holding each other's ankles like a chain making Bulma yelp and try to keep from dropping them. "You...can't fly yet!"
"Oh, right… Gohan, help!" Thy cried as the half saiyan saw them.
"I'm on it!" He jumped off the nimbus before flying inside and grabbed the legs before he grunted and started pulling the Cell Jrs back up into the kitchen. Soon they were all back inside safe and sound. "Is everyone ok?"
"Yeah, if you didn't help my fingers would have slipped." Sighed Bulma in relief.
"Yeah, thanks Gohan, you're our hero~" Said one of the clones as she moved towards him. "I think you need a reward~"
"Huh? What do you~"
Smooch~
Gohan's eyes widened and stared at the clone while touching his cheek and turned beet red.
"You know, you saved us too, it's only fair we do the same too~"
"You...You…." He let out in a stammer.
"Kissed your cheek? Yeah, and get ready, you have seven more coming your way." Chuckled the others as they also moved towards him.
"W-What?!" He gaped before finding them jumping at him and pinning him and felt seven more pairs of lips on his cheeks making his face look more red than a tomato.
"Ok, break it up, break it up!" Called Bulma as she pulled out a squirt bottle and began to spray the girls in the face.
"Hey!" Spoke them all backing up from Gohan who swore he heard one of them hiss.
'What are they, cats?' He thought as Bulma helped him up. "T-Thanks for that."
"Sorry about that, they must be real eager to have you be their teacher." She said as she sprayed them one last time for good measure. "So, I was thinking you could teach them some ki lessons toda-"
"We wanna learn how to fly first!"
"Actually, you need to learn how to use ki to fly." Gohan revealed.
"Fine, then teach us that quick THEN how to fly!"
"Yeah!"
"Huh, kinda thought they'd have all out moves like Cell did, I guess not." Gohan commented as Bulma shrugged.
"I thought I gave them the info, I guess they just have to unlock it or something?"
"Well, I'll do my best to help you girls get the hang of how to use ki." He said as they all grinned.
"And you can't leave until we're masters!"
"Wait, say what?"
"They're joking, you can go home at the end of the day Gohan." Spoke Bulma noticing the girl's disappointed faces making her chuckle in her mind. 'Wow, they really have it bad for him.'
"Well, come with me, we can practice in the courtyard." He spoke before walking out of the kitchen as the clones followed.
"And keep it PG girls, my son is still around here somewhere!" Called Bulma which Gohan caught and felt a cold chill go down his spine.
'Just what do they plan to do to me?!'
(Outside)
"Ok, so...do any of you know just what ki is?"
"Ki… it is a power within people, animals, plants and the world around us, correct?"
"That's right, and it's how people like me, my dad, and the others can fly and use it when we fight. By learning how to tap into it and control it, you can do incredible things."
"Like fly and move very, very fast?"
"Yes, exactly, and throw ki blasts, do incredible feats and so on." He smiled. "Now to harness ki, you have to focus and try to concentrate inside you."
"Ok, that doesn't sound so hard, how do we do that?"
"Close your eyes and try to feel the ki inside you."
"Ok...what is it supposed to feel like?"
"Imagine it like….like something's buried inside you, and when you feel it, try to grab onto it and pull it out."
"Ok...oh! I feel something." Said one as her hands began to glow, surprising Gohan.
'That didn't take long.' He thought in surprise. 'Huh, I guess they really did have the info downloaded in them.'
"Hey, I feel something too." Said another as her hands glowed followed by the other clones one at a time.
"Wow….that… I think that's the fastest I've ever seen someone learn ki." He remarked with the girls feeling pride at that. "Alright, so now that you can feel your ki, we can get you in the air much easier."
"Ok, and how do we do that?" Asked one of them excitedly.
"The trick to flying is envisioning the ki itself around you. You use it to propel yourself up in the air and let it hold you there. Then it's a matter of flying around by leaning and adjusting your body weight." He said as they nodded. "It may take a bit to get right, I know it took me awhile to get used to it."
"Can we give it a try?"
"Sure, go ahead, and if you start to lose control I promise I'll catch you, ok?"
Hearing that made all the clones get sneaky ideas before they all tried to focus on levitating up.
"Hey, you're starting to do it!"
"Yeah! Oh no, I am mysteriously losing control, help me Gohan!" One cried as she suddenly 'lost control' and began to fall to the ground.
"Woah!" Gohan lunged over and caught her in his arms before she hit the ground. "Easy there, it takes a bit of time to get the handle of it."
"Right, sorry, my bad." She giggled as she cuddled closer in his arms. 'My hero~'
'That little sneak!' The other thought with a frown, all wishing they had done that first. 'She's hogging him!'
Gohan noticed the girl cuddling him and blushed. "Uh, m-maybe you should try it again."
"Gohan, I'm falling too, catch me, catch me!"
"No me, I am also falling now!"
Gohan jumped and put the one in his hands down and rushed over to catch the others. Soon he was struggling with seven happy clones piled up in his arms. "This is...a bit….surprising." He groaned out.
"Sorry, we're all so new at this." They said with a shrug as they tried not to laugh.
"Could you get down? This is kinda awkward." he blushed.
"Yeah, get down you hogs!" Called the one on the ground with a frown.
The others frowned at her before reluctantly getting out of Gohan's arms.
"Ok...so, how about you all try flying one at time as the rest of you meditate so I don't have to scramble to catch you all again if you fall, ok?" He suggested with them nodding with reluctance.
"Yes teacher."
"Good, now let's see if we can get you all flying without falling by the end of the day."
(Later)
"Well, seems like you're all starting to get the hang of it." Smiled Gohan seeing them slowly flying up in the air for a bit while trying to learn how to steer.
"Yep, thanks for making sure we didn't fall hero~" Said one with a smile, making him blush.
"Well glad I could be of help, but it looks like it's getting late." He remarked looking at the dark sky. "I better head on home for dinner."
"NO!" The all cried quickly. "Stay here!"
Gohan reeled back while seeing them crowd together in front of him. "Huh? I can't though, I promised my mom I would come home tonight."
"Please?" They all said together at once while holding their hands together.
"I'm sorry, I would love to but I can't. I will be able to come over again in about… a week and a half?"
"Tomorrow!"
"I can't, I can see if I can shorten it to a week or a few days though?" He offered while they looked hopeful. "That's about all I can spare for the time being."
"That's still too long, what are you doing that's so important?"
"Finishing up junior high."
"Booo, you're homeschooled!"
"It's what my mom wants me to say if people ask." He sweatdropped.
"Get your books and come back here!"
"Yeah!"
"What? No, I can't do that, I like living at home, I have to help mom around the house and look after Goten."
That got them to quiet down while admitting he did have a point.
"I'm sorry, but I have to go, today was fun, hopefully I'll see you all soon." He waved before flying into the air making them wave bye with frowns.
"I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm not waiting."
"You read our minds."
"Time to put those flying lessons to use." One said as they began to take to the air and fly after the half saiyan.
"Wait, what should we do if he sees us?"
"Good question… tell him we decided to take a small trip to see the world?"
"You really think he'd buy that?"
"Probably not."
That made the others sigh while Gohan himself didn't notice the ki signatures behind him due to how faint they were.
'I hope mom isn't mad that I'll be getting home so late.'
It took about ten minutes, but they eventually found the house with Gohan landing and heading to it with the clones all descending a ways away to stay low.
"So this is where he lives… seems kinda small."
"Well due to his mother's income and father's lack of job, this is surprising to say the least."
"You forget, the income mainly comes from her father, the Ox King."
"Oh, right, she doesn't have a job, maybe that's why she's forcing her sons to study so much, to make them live the life she wished she could live?"
"Or milk them when she gets really old." Said one, making the rest frown.
"No one gets to milk him except me!" Spoke one getting glares from the others making her slink down. "I mean...no one gets to milk him except us!"
"You're getting your turn with him last now." Said one, making her groan as the others agreed.
"So what do we do now? If we make ourselves known his mom might not let us inside."
"Well, we could do some reconnaissance and find out which room is his?"
"And bide our time until we strike. We still know so much about him for now, and as Bulma put in us, all good experiments work better by taking your time."
"Right, we only have to worry is some harlot trying to take what isn't hers."
"Relax, what are the chances of any girl his age interacting...with...him...crap!"
"Let me guess, you're thinking about the high school, right?"
"We can't let him go!"
"No, we just have to win him over BEFORE he goes!"
One of them chuckled with her arms crossed and eyes closed, making the others turn. "Ah girls girls girls, you forgot one crucial thing."
"And what's that?" Asked one of them with a frown.
"What happens after you graduate junior high?"
"A ceremony, going to a new school, making new friends?"
"I mean the time afterwards."
"...summer break!" they all spoke connecting the dots.
"Bingo! Which means until he actually starts, that's plenty of free time for us to use and get his attention." She said with a grin. "Including us taking him to the beach to show a bit of skin, imagine him in only swim trunks~"
All of them did so and blushed while drooling a little.
"So let's not rush things, let's find his room, make a few peep holes then head back home before Bulma knows we're gone."
"Right!"
(Later)
"Um, Bulma? You said that the capsule corp houses could hold up against anything, right? Well I think a bunch of mice chewed holes in my wall."
"Well to be fair we say they can hold up against anything because of the materials used to make them, but we do tend to have some that are a bit weaker compared to others." She said as she scratched her head. "Plus your house is getting a bit old, but it should have seem fine though."
"Well I think we might need someone to come over and fill in the holes, and maybe handle the mice while they're at it."
"Ok, I'll send someone over later, in the meantime just cover them with tape for now."
"Already covered."
"Well then since you're here, care to see how the girls are doing in their training?"
"Sure, do you know where they are?"
"Well, according to the trackers in them four are peeking from the door, one is in the vents above us and two are by the window."
"But that's seven, where's the eighth?"
"Oh she's busy training with Trunks in the gravity room right now." She said with a grin. "She said something about wanting to get stronger than the others to get some kind of prize?"
"Prize?" Gohan looked confused before glancing at the door to see the eight pairs of eyes and shivered while glancing at the vent cover and window, spotting the eyes from the girls with twinkles in their eyes that put him on edge. 'Why do I have a feeling that I'M the prize?'
"Ok girls, come on out, Gohan agreed to train you all today." Called Bulma getting the seven clones to rush inside immediately with smiles. "Now behave, and might I advise no more late night trips to the mountains, you girls need your sleep."
"Ok Bulma!"
"Wait, what late night trips?" Asked Gohan.
"Oh nothing to worry about, the girls just wanted to see what the mountains were like after you left and decided to spend all night taking in the sights, the usual stuff." She said as she hid a snicker. 'My clones are such pervs, stalking their future boyfriend like that.'
"Wait, which-" He was cut off as she left the room and turned to the seven girls smiling at him making him feel nervous for some reason. "So...um… do you girls want to resume our ki training?" He asked as he took a nervous step back.
"Uh huh!" They said as the quickly moved towards him as he kept moving back until he hit a wall.
"T-Then maybe we should do it outside, wouldn't wanna put any holes in the walls."
"Right… or we could try a new ki technique I found online, one meant to rejuvenate muscles?"
"Yeah, but you have to take your shirt off for it to work!"
"Really? I don't think I've heard of that one." He said as he tilted his head in confusion.
"It's really, relly new, so off with the shirt!"
"Yeah!"
"Well...I guess it couldn't hurt." He conceded with a blush making them grin wider before they headed out of the building with the eight one dodging strikes from Trunks.
"You're too slow, my dad could kick your ass easy!"
"Oh yeah?" She smirked before flying over him and grabbed him by the back of his uniform before throwing him at the wall. "Take that you little punk!"
"Augh!"
"Whoa, Trunks,are you ok?!" Gohan cried, making her freeze.
"Yeah, that just caught me off guard, but this time I'm rea...dy." He spoke before seeing the eighth clone fly over and nuzzle against Gohan confusing him, making Gohan blush, and her sisters scowl.
"Gohan, you came back to m-er, us!" She cooed happily.
"Well yeah, you girls still need help with your ki, right?"
"Oh… you're just here for that?" She asked as she frowned a bit.
"Yeah, we were on our way outside to keep from putting holes in the walls."
"And to make him take off his shirt, he's gonna strip for us!"
"Say what?!" She lit up with Gohan blushing and Trunks raising an eyebrow.
"What's the big deal about that?"
"W-What she means is they're gonna teach me a new ki technique, that apparently means I need to take my shirt off."
"Oh, and did you hear about the new one that makes you take your pants off?"
"I think I don't wanna." He said as the girls gained gleams in their eyes.
"Wait, you can become stronger by stripping? Awesome!" Trunks called before he began to quickly take his clothes off.
"No Trunks! Don't strip!" Cried out Gohan in a panic.
"Yeah, only Gohan was supposed to strip!"
"Why?" He asked with a frown. "I wanna get strong too ya know."
"Because...um…. It only works if you're over twelve years old!"
"Yeah!" The others nodded quickly.
"Aw, no fair!"
"Sorry, life's not fair." Gohan said as Trunks began to walk away with a pout.
"Let's get outside now." Said Gohan with a large blush. 'Why did they want me to take my pants off?!'
(Outside)
"Alright, now let's see if you know how to project your ki." spoke Gohan, now shirtless.
"Uh-huh…" Said the girls, staring at him like they were in a trance.
"Try and do this." He held his hand out to the sky before firing a ki blast into the clouds.
"Ok…" They said absentmindedly as they copied him and shot a blast into the sky, except their blasts were ten times the size of his. "Abs….."
"Ok, that's pretty good." 'Although they didn't really seem to be paying attention. They just seem focused on me.' He thought as he took a few steps to the right, and watched as their heads following him. "Girls, are you listening to me?"
"Uh uh." they nodded.
"Then what did I just say?"
"Girls something somethings…"
"Uh-huh, and what about the part where I was going to cut my hair short?"
"Yeah, yeah, you do you…"
He sweatdropped and sighed while pinching the bridge of his nose. "Girls, I'm trying to help you learn how to use ki so you don't cause any accidents."
"We're careful, honest, now flex for us~"
"That's it, I'm putting my shirt back on."
"No don't!" They yelled out as he moved to grab it.
"There really was no technique like that, you just made it up so you could stare instead of taking this seriously, didn't you?"
"Yes, but don't put your shirt back on, please!"
"Please keep it off!"
"No." He blushed while sliding it over his torso and averting his eyes. 'I can't believe it! A bunch of girls actually stared at me! My face is probably like a tomato!'
"Nooo, you can't cover a masterpiece like that, the world, and us, need to see it!"
"Please! We're sorry for tricking you, but we'll be good!"
"No, now stop asking me to take off my shirt!" He frowned crossing his arms and trying to calm down his blush. "Either take this lesson seriously or I'll leave right now."
"Ok, ok, we will, we will! We'll do whatever you want!"
"Anything!"
"Even if it's dirty!"
Gohan blushed hearing the eager in that and pushed it down in his head. "You swear?"
"We do, we really do whatever you want, even the dirty stuff!"
"Stop saying you'll do dirty stuff!" He yelled with a bright blush as they quieted down. "I just want you all to see how easy it is to cause damage if you don't be careful with your ki!"
"We are careful!"
"Yeah, if we destroy stuff randomly we'll get in trouble, then go to jail, then not be able to see you because you'll hate us!"
"I...well…."
"So we have to be good, we have to control our ki because we can't not see you!"
"Or have you hate us!"
Gohan blinked and looked at them in surprise while feeling flattered and embarrassed. 'Ok, I can't just be imagining things now, they….they like me, right?'
"So we'll be good, we promise!"
"O-Ok….um, girls? I have a question….do you all...do you….like me?"
All of them were silent and looked to the side while trying to whistle innocently.
"Does… does that mean yes?" He asked in shock. 'Oh...my….DENDE!'
"If...if we say yes...will you accept all eight of us or just one of us?"
"If it's just one, I deserve it more than them! I learned how to fly first!"
"No, me, I've been training extra hard so I can be the strongest!"
"No, me, I made you take your shirt off!"
'I don't think that'd count as a proud moment.' He thought with a sweatdrop as all eight began to loudly argue. "Girls, GIRLS!"
All of them stopped and turned as he sighed and looked down while rubbing the back of his head.
"Look, I'm flattered, really I am, it's just….well….I'm not sure…"
"You….you don't want us?"
That made them look sad with a couple letting out a whimper making Gohan go wide eyed.
"Wait wait wait!" He held his hands up. "Please don't cry! I-It's not that!"
"T-Then… you do want us?" Sniffed one as the others looked up at him hopefully.
"Well….to be honest….I'm a bit confused." He admitted looking away. "I mean, I've heard of guys and girls dating with each other, but I never heard of one guy with several girls at once. Is that something that happens a lot?"
"I dunno, I've only been conscious for...a few days? But the info in my head says polygamous relationships do exist."
"Polygamous?" He looked confused.
"A relationship with multiple partners, most oftenly marriage, though it's not very widespread."
"Oh!" He spoke in understanding without losing his blush. "So...all of you...would be fine with that?"
"Sure, we're all psychically linked, so we're all connected mentally so it's kinda like you're dating one person with eight bodies."
"Besides, if one of us dated you, the others would get jealous."
"I would stab the others if they dated you and left me out."
"See? We're a bit crazy so we all need to share you."
"Are we really just going to ignore that comment?" Asked Gohan with a gulp. 'They act like she was talking about the weather.'
"Yep, so, are we dating now?" Asked one excitedly as she moved towards him.
"Well, I've never really dated someone before, but I'd like to try it someday, so...yeah." He said before he was tackled to the ground by eight very happy Cell Jr clones.
"YES!" They cheered while snuggling against him with Gohan blushing.
'What do I do now?!' He thought with a blush.
