Recap: "So you see why I ran now Terra you see why I'm ashamed of myself?" Tapion whispered. "Who the hell am I kidding you probably didn't even listen to a word I said," Tapion sighed and stood up walking away from her younger self. "Tapion….wait," Terra whispered. Tapion looked back and watched a tear fall form Terra's cheek into the grass below her. Terra stood up and looked her older self straight in the eye, "I'm sorry…." Tapion smiled for the first time in years and hugged her younger self letting a single tear fall from her eye. Terra smiled back at Tapion, "Come on let's go inside. We gotta talk about how we're gonna kick those tin cans' asses!" Tapion nodded and walked inside for once not ashamed of who she was and used to be.
Everyone sat around the table discussing ways to destroy the androids. "Well…. They used to be human maybe there's a way to talk to them," Aeris said. Dende snorted, "Yeah and afterwards we can invite them to a fucking tea party. Brilliant idea……" He didn't get to finish his sentence though as Terra and Tapion both punched the young namek into a wall. "Dende sit down and shut up! You're already grounded if we live through this, you wanna make it worse?" Piccolo growled. "Why is he grounded?" Cathreine asked. "None of your business!" Piccolo snapped. "I gathered the dragonballs and wished that nameks weren't asexual any more," Dende said smirking. Cathreine fell out of her chair anime style. "I should have known."
Suddenly…..
"Guys! Come and look!" ChiChi yelled. Everyone ran to the TV while crushing Goten, Trunks, and Tammy (Yamcha's and Tifa's daughter) in the process. "Ack! Get off of me!" Trunks yelled from under his future self. But mirai didn't listen; his eyes were glue to the TV. The reporter stated, "The city is destroyed and there were no survivors. But the strange thing is there were no bodies either. Just articles of clothing some with stains of blood. No one has any clue to what has done this horrible……..One second! I think they might have found a survivor. Yes! It is a young girl. Excuse me child what is your name?" The girl's blue eyes shone bravely and her voice concealed her fear well, "My name is Videl Satan." "Videl Satan!? The ultimate Champion Mr. Satan's daughter!? Videl can you tell us what did this?" The reporter asked. For the first time Terra saw fear in the young girl's eyes. She was about to speak when suddenly, "VIDEL!!!!" The burly man scooped the young child up into his arms. Terra snarled she knew the man. It was Mr. Satan. He was a big mouth arrogant pro wrestler who claimed he could kill the androids in one blow. In reality he could kill a human toddler if he tried. He began going on about how he would destroy the man or creature that did this when Terra noticed something. The creature hid in the shadows so not to be seen. But Terra had, "No! Shuken Idou!" Terra shouted as she teleported to the spot.
"And another thing…….." Mr. Satan shouted. When suddenly a young girl appeared in front of him. "YOU GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE NOW!" She shouted.
"Huh?"
"What she talking about?"
"Who is that?"
"How'd she do that?!"
"Oh my God that kid has a tail!"
"What strange eyes."
The crowd continued to whisper about the strange girl that had appeared in front of them when suddenly laughter sounded through out the demolished city. "GET OUT OF HERE NOW!!!" Terra yelled again. But no one listened until a horrified scream sounded through out the crowd. Everyone turned to see a cameraman being held up by the neck by a humanoid creature with green skin. The creature laughed, "I am Cell. And I'm here for Son Goku. Tell me where he is!" The man shook and babbled frightened of Cell. Cell smirked, "Sorry Wrong answer." And then Cell stabbed his tail right into the poor man and sucked him dry until nothing was left except the man's blood stained clothes. By then all the reporters had fled to their trucks and cars and were trying to get out of there. Mr. Satan had grabbed Videl and got on the back of a truck as it drove off. Cell didn't like this; he went after the truck.
Cell had Videl in his grasp and was about to obliterate the rest of the truck when he felt something strong grab onto his tail and swing him into the side of a mountain. He threw Videl up into the air and Terra caught her before setting her down gently. Terra smirked, "Some one get the Raid 'cause that has got to be the biggest damn grasshopper I've ever seen!" Cell snarled at Terra, "Allow me to introduce my self. I am Cell. The perfect Android created by Dr. Gero. I am made up of all the Z senshi's cells. Including yours my dear Terra." Terra rolled her eyes, "Who cares? Just go craw back into what ever hole you came out of Bug Boy!" Terra began to laugh arrogantly but that didn't last. Cell launched a flying kick at Terra head knocking into a tree, which in turn split in half. Terra stood only to feel Cell's heavy hand slap her to the ground. Terra took to the air now in super sayain mode. She tried to attack Cell from above only to be smacked right back down to the ground. Every attack Terra tried was useless. But being a relative of Vegeta she had inherited the genes that told her that it was weak to run and hat dying was nobler. Her face was covered in her own blood and dirt but she refused to just give up. She tried one last sweep kick trying to knock cell down, but it also failed. Cell laughed at his beaten opponent, "This is Terra Strife?! Supposedly the strongest of the z fighters?! What a laugh!" He threw Terra to the side and spit in her face. Terra eyes glowed blood red and Torendea came into power, but Cell did not know that. Torendea was a lot smarter then her counterpart she knew she couldn't fight Cell so she did the next best thing……….stall and find out more about him. "Where did you come from huh?! Why didn't Mirai tell us about you!?" Torendea growled. Cell just laughed, "Because I killed Mirai and Tapion and stole the time machine." Torendea smirked she was getting exactly what she wanted, "Inter dimension traveling?! But that's not possible." "It's amazing what the future holds isn't it dear, Torendea?" Cell smirked. Torendea's jaw dropped, "But……How……..how did you now!?" Cell snickered, "I know a lot of things. Including the fact that your not gonna make it out of here alive!" Ki began to collect around his hand and Torendea defeatedly faded out of power giving Terra control. Terra faced decided if she was going to die she'd die proud.
Suddenly…..
"LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!" Terra watched the blur knock Cell of his feet. Cell looked at who it was and her heart stopped. "no….." she whispered, "No! Gohan get outta here! You can't beat him!" Gohan didn't even look at her, "Like hell I can't." Terra looked up she could now sense the Z senshi'd kis. She could also sense Chichi, Bulma, Aeris, and Tifa's ki with them. Then she looked back as Cell knocked Gohan down and began to collect ki to demolish the young demi-sayain. Gohan wouldn't be able to move in time! Tears filled Terra's eyes; she had by now forced herself to her knees. She could feel Videl holding her shoulders as if to restrain her. Then the attack was launched. Everything that followed was a blur, she could hear ChiChi's scream much louder then the others' but then she felt it as if that ki blast was in turn ripping apart her own soul as if Gohan's death would kill her too. Then Terra felt it the burst of energy she needed. She flew at Gohan knocking him away, taking the blast that had been meant for him. She felt the energy course through her body then tear a hole right through her. She stood there numbed by the blast. Then she fell. That's when the actually pain came into existense she gritted her teeth trying to stop the pain, but it didn't help. Then she felt it despite the pain she felt Gohan's ki sky rocket. She opened her eyes to see Gohan standing there his hair blond and his eyes emerald green……….he had become a super sayian. Terra then felt arms wrap around her and pick her up gently. She felt someone wrapping something tightly around ther torn stomach. She opened her eyes to see Mirai Trunks holding her his eyes worried; she also saw Tpion wrapping her bandana around the wound as tight as she could, her face etched with worry.
Tapion looked her in the eyes and noticed that she was starting to close her eyes. Tapion yelled and shook her making her scream in pain, "Gomen Nasai Terra but you gotta keep your eyes open, you cannot fall asleep!" Terra nodded the best she could. "Trunks give her to me. You stay here and fight. She needs senzu." Tapion ordered. Mirai hesitantly handed her to his sensei then went to help the others. Tapion looked down at Terra who was barely clinging to life, "Shukon Idou."
Mr. Popo was chasing a butterfly around the ground happily when suddenly…… "KAMI GET YOUR GREEN ASS OVER HERE WE NEED SENZU NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Tapion's voice rang out through the entire building. Tapion placed Terra down on a spare bed Kami had led her to. Tapion talked to Terra keeping her conscious. Then she looked back at Popo, "What the hell is wrong with you beach ball boy!? Go get some senzu!" Mr. Popo ran to fetch the snezu leaving Tapion and Kami to keep the young girl awake.
That's when Terra started losing consciousness. "Terra no!" Tapion ordered, but it was no use Terra's eyes closed. "Terra? Terra!! Wake up now! Come on Ter! You gotta wake up! TERRA!!!!" Tapion screamed and ranted but the young sayains eyes remained closed. That's when Popo returned handing the senzu to Tapion. Tapion thought hard and then an idea came to her, "Sorry Terra but you leave me no choice." Tapion took her middle and index finger and jabbed it right into the large wound on Terra stomach. Terra's eyes snapped open, "AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Tapion truly felt sorry for her but there was no time. "Terra ya gotta eat this," Tapion said placing the senzu in her mouth. Terra began to chew but didn't have enough energy. Tapion sighed and stuck her finger in Terra's mouth forcing the half chewed senzu into Terra's throat. Terra began to choke, "God damn it Terra!" Tapion sighed. She lifted her younger self head and rubbed part of her throat forcing her to swallow. Slowly Terra's wound began to heal. Then she passed out from pure exhaustion.
Later…..
"TERRA?!" Gohan screamed racing throughout Kami's tower looking for his friend. Then he found her, "Terra-chan!" Tapion looked up, "Gohan-kun shush! She needs her rest. Don't worry she's alright just exhausted. Gohan sat next to his best friend and brushed the bangs from her face. "Hmmm?" Terra said waking up. Gohan just pulled her into his lap and held her. "Why?" Gohan asked. Terra smirked sleepily, "Do I really need to answer that?" Gohan smiled and shook his head as Terra fell asleep against him. Tapion just smiled as the bittersweet memories filled her mind once again, but this time it didn't hurt as much.
An hour later…….
Tapion, Gohan, and Terra all had fallen asleep, Tapion in her chair, Gohan against the headboard of the bed, and Terra in his arms. When suddenly…… "DENDE YOUR FRIGING PERVET!!!!!" Cathreine's screams jarred all three demi-sayains from there sleep. Terra jumped out of bed and ran outside just in time to see Dende run past laughing hysterically with Cathreine chasing after him dressed in a towel only. "Aw come on Cat! It was just a joke! Besides that you got a great body for your age!" Dende yelled. Then the two disappeared, but their screams didn't. Terra just looked at Tapion, Was he like this in your time too? Tapion nodded trying to keep herself from laughing.
The Z senshi all sat around the table were Kami was about to speak. Tapion walked in with a large plate of sandwiches. "Hey Tapion can I have some?" Mirai asked. Tapion's only response was a feral growl. "Hehe!….Nevermind," Trunks said nervously. Terra asked, "What kind of sandwhiches are they?" "Let's see…….there's salami, turkey, Peanut butter, Jelly, Peanut butter and Jelly,……….." Tapion wnet on about her meal while Mirai Trunks and Terra ate away at her sandwhitches. "……..meatloaf, ham, grilled cheese, and then there's…..hey! Where's my sandwhitches?" Tapion shouted. Then she glared at Trunks and Terra who now had crumbs all over there faces. "Hehe……um……hi Tapion," Trunks laughed. Tapion growled and began to raise her ki, "MY SANDWITCHES!" Then she pounced on both of the warriors screaming various obsenities. "Will you three grow up!" Vegeta yelled getting no response from the by now tangled warriors.
"Ow!"
"Move your leg!"
"Ouch get off of me!"
"Tapion move your arm!"
"No you!"
"Will both of you grow up!"
"Shut up Terra!"
"OW!!! My arm! Quit it Tapion!"
"GROW UP!!" Vegeta screamed causing all three to stop dead. "Sorry Papa." Gomen nasai Vegeta-san." "Sorry Veggie-chan." Vegeta cringed at the last comment and took his seat as Kami walked into the room and beganto talk to the warriors about Cell and the androids. "As you know this new enemy is a lot stronger than the Androids the Mirai warriors warned us about. But what you don't know is this Cell creature is not in his final form. He has to absorb both #18 and #17 to become Perfect Cell. That is why considering the circumstances I have brought the androids here." "WHAT!!!!!" Terra and Tapion screamed flaring into Super Sayian. "Both of you calm down! They are secrued and all we need to do is make a wish to revert them back to our side," Kami yelled. Terra, Tapion, and Mirai Trunks simply sat there and growled and mumbled under their breath. Then Kami brought out the Dragonballs that he had just collected over the past few weeks. "Arise almighty….." he started. But Terra interupted, "Hey lizard! Get your scaly ass up here!" Suddenly a thundering sound filled the air and Shen Long appeared, "Who has summoned me?" "I did," Kami shouted and was promptly hit with a lightning bolt. "Learn some manners, Namek!" Shen Long bellowed, "What is you wish?" Cathreine then said, "We wish that the Androids were no longer killing machines. That they were turned back into normal human beings except with the same skills and abilities they have now!" The Dragon growled and his eyes flashed red, "Your wish is granted!" And with those words said the dragon disappeared and the dragonballs scattered.
Hours later…….
"I've gathered you warriors again for a reason. The reason is even with the androids' power combined with ours we still are no match for Cell," Kami said. "So what are we going to do old man?" Piccolo's gruff voice called. "You are going to come over here and stop being such a brat! I swear that child you hold has more manners then you and he's a toddler!" Kami shouted pointing to Orlando. Piccolo handed his eldest son Orlando with an angry growl and then walked to Kami. ^I suppose you've been told of your true past by now.^ Piccolo nodded and said ^Yeah I have so what?^ Kami sighed at his other half's ingnorance, ^We must fuse again. You will become stronger and then we may have a chance!^ ^What makes you think I'll fuse with a dirty old man like you!^ Piccolo snorted. Kami frowned and pointed to Dende and Orlando, ^They make me think that. If you care about their future you'll do this^ Piccolo looked at his two sons. ^For the first time your fighting for some one else except yourself, Piccolo. It's a different feeling isn't? The feeling that one simple mistake could cost those two boys' lives. The feeling that one wrong turn could take away everything you know and love. That feeling of worry and anxiety comes from here.^ Kami said pointing to Piccolo heart. ^Stop listen to what's going on in here,^ Kami ordered pointing to Piccolo's head, ^It's what's here that counts. It's what's in your heart Piccolo Daimino. Not your head.^ Piccolo stood there for a minute contemplating his choices. Then he took Kami's out stretched hand in his own, ^Fine. I'll do it.^ Then there was a bright flash and when it ended only Piccolo stood there. Except it wasn't Piccolo. It felt like something else, like Piccolo but so different. Gohan asked, "who…" "I am a namek who has forgotten his name over these long years. But I mostly am like the one you called Piccolo so I shall go by his name.
"Alright! Let's go kick Cell's ass!" Dende shouted. "Not so fast," Piccolo shouted, "We're still not strong enough!" "What!? We're not?………….Oh crap," Dende said his face becoming etched with worry. Piccolo frowned, "Dende what did you do?" Dende figeted slightly and said, "I didn't do anything. But Terra, Tapion, Mirai, and the androids already went after Cell about a minute ago."
"So does the little girl wanna play again?" Cell laughed his voice jus pissing the young warrior of even more. "And I see you've brought the Androids too! Why thank you my dear." "Shut the fuck up Cell," Tapion growled. Cell eyes darted to Tapion and he lifted his hand, "I think you shall die first." Suddenly Cell disappeared only to reappear behind Tapion grabbing her tail and rendering her useless. Tapion 's eyes widened in pain and she screamed as if she'd been set on fire. "Let her go!" Mirai yelled stepping towards Cell but, "One more move and I'll blow her head right off! Now just hand of the Androids and I won't touch a hair on your pretty girlfriend's head," Cell laughed. Trunks looked to Terra and back at Tapion, "Trunks! Don't you dare! Do you hear me don't you AAAAAAAARRRGGGH!" Tapion said but was interrupted by Cell squeezing her tail even harder. "Fine," Juuhachi-gou said and walked towards Cell. Mirai's jaw dropped not once in his life had he seen the androids care about someone except themselves. Juunana –gou was first to be absorbed. Then it was Juuhachi-gou's turn. But the young female android was not going with out a fight. Either she had forgotten about Tapion or just didn't care, she launched a ki attack at Cell's stomach only for it to be slapped away as if it were nothing at all.Then he lifted his hand and slapped Juuhachi-gou away into a rock knocking her unconscious. Cell growled, "I warned you!" And then he smacked Tapion in the back of the head another warrior fallen into unconsciousness.
"NO! LEAVE HER ALONE!" a voice screamed. Terra turned to see a young Super sayain crash right into Cell. When Terra got a good look at the boy she realized how much he looked like Gohan. Then she heard another voice this one was more feminine, "Mama?! Are alright?!" Terra turned to see a young girl of about 6 or 7 holding Tapion the best she could. The boy 's eye filled with hatred, "Mama." His voice was a angry growl that was so full of hate. "You asshole!!!" he screamed and charged at Cell ready to strike. Just as he was about to punch Cell Cell grabbed his hand and crushed and broke it in several places. The boy let out pained scream before Cell threw him into a tree knocking the young child out. "Gohan!!! Oniichan!!!" the young girl screamed. "Pan-chan! Stay there!" Trunks ordered and charged at Cell his sword drawn only to have Cell grab the sword and flip him over. Terra heard a loud crack as her cousin's future self's head hit the ground another one of them down. Terra was too shocked to move. That's when she noticed Cell absorb Juuhachi-gou. He had become Perfect Cell. Then Terra heard a scream of rage she turned to see Pan standing behind Perfect Cell her hair gold and eyes green. "YOU BASTARD!!!" she screamed and went to attack Cell another warrior smacked down to the ground. That's when Terra felt it; the uncontrollable surge of anger. These were Tapion's children. They were her children too! This horrid creature was hurting her family her children! The feeling of maternal instincts that washed over her were over whelming. Terra began to power up. Not to super sayain though. This power up was different it felt as if she could stop the increase even if she tried. But she didn't want to. Cell's laughter had stopped and he stared at Terra in horror. "Leave my children……..ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!" There was sudden burst of light that covered them both.
"Come on guys! Hurry up!" Gohan shouted as they flew to where they had felt Terra's ki. Suddenly Gohan felt a heart stopping pain spread through out his body. He stopped mid air and began to choke. He couldn't breath, see, hear, or feel. The only thing there was pain. He vagualy felt his body plummet down into the forest below and he could vagually hear Cathreine scream his name. Then he felt the forest floor collide with him and everything went black.
Terra opened her eyes. She was much older now; not 15 like she was with Torendea. She was an adult; this new form felt so strange yet so natural. She looked upon Cell; she could feel the pure raw energy running through out her veins. She spread her angelic wings and came floated down to the ground. Her eyes narrowed and her white robes blew in the gentle wind. "You will die for all the pain you've caused!" she shouted. And then with a bright flash she launched the attack. Cell was knocked back into the mountain side. When he climbed out he was all bloody and injured. "I will return Strife and when I do you will be the first to die!" Cell growled and then disappeared. Terra was about to follow when she felt a stabbing pain; she then faded out of this form and was 9 years old again. She fell down exhausted and like her friends was lost to unconsciousness
Gohan opened his eyes. But he was no longer a child; he was a grown man now. And he wasn't in a forest he was in a large room. It looked like a banquet hall. His tail twitched angrily. He didn't know why his tail was back or why he was angry but he felt so much hatred he couldn't even speak. There were many people in the banquet hall. He'd never seen most of them but there were familiar faces: Piccolo was there with a woman by his side, the woman looked frightened and held his hand, but Piccolo looked angry his teeth bared and his eyes angry. Vegeta stood there with a young girl by his side. The young girl looked like a younger version of Bulma who was also standing with Vegeta. Trunks also stood by Vegeta his sword drawn and his eyes dark. They were dressed strangely as if they were some kind of royalty or upper class. He was dressed the sam eas them. He began to look around and then he noticed it; all of the Z senshi was there. There faces were angry or frightened. He looked to his right to see a young woman about his current age her scarred mako blue eyes shown dangerously. By her legs two young children of about 2 or 3 stood trembling. The poor things looked terrified. Then he looked up to see a cloaked figure approach them. The children by the woman's legs ran away to another woman who sat next to a namek that he had assumed was Dende. The woman looked like the one he stood by except with shorter hair, "Auntie!" the boy cried snuggling into her arms, while the young girl hid her face into Dende's chest trembling. The cloaked figure approached the woman out of instinct he unsheathed his sword. But he wasn't the only one to do so a young man with silver hair pulled out a long sword and stood in front of the woman as if protecting her. All of the male Z senshi had stood ready to protect the beautiful woman he stood next to. Then he saw the young man with the silver hair's face. It was Sephiroth! But a strong yet beautiful interupted his thoughts, "Stand down!" All of the warriors complied. Then the cloaked figure came closer. The hooded creature began to laugh and he saw her eyes for the first time. Her mako blue eyes shown with pure insanity. He went to step in front of the woman but she stopped him, "I said stand down Gohan!" He looked at her then nodded and sat back down in his seat. The creature was nose to nose with the woman now and for the first time her evil voice sounded, "You will die! And your kingdom will follow soon after you." The woman said nothing and did nothing. The creature turned o the young child in the woman's sister's lap and ran her finger acroSs his cheek, "Such beautiful children….To bad they shall die along with their foolish mother. You really should learn to be more reasonable my dear. If not to save your neck to save theirs'" The woman's voice sounded again becoming louder and more threatening, "Leave him be you vile Beast Jenova!" The cloaked figure turned and spoke amusement in her evil voice, "You are getting bold my dear," then her voice got dangerous, "Too bold." Then she pulled out a knife and prepared to stab the young woman.
"NO!!!" Gohan screamed shaking himself from the dream. He was covered in a cold sweat. He noticed that his head had been bandaged and he was in a bed. It was night time by now and the pale moonlight lit his room slightly. He walked out of the room into the next. He finally recongnized that he was in Kami's look out again. "You feeling better kid?" a gruff voice asked. Gohan turned to see his mentor standing there with Orlando who was fast asleep in his arms. "Piccolo-san? What happened?" Gohan asked. "Why don't you tell me? You just collasped mid flight. What happened to you?" Piccolo asked. Gohan tried to remember but even the dream he just had was a blur, "I can't remember." Piccolo smirked," Don't worry bout it the kid." Gohan smiled at his sensei, the he remembered, "Terra!? What happened to Terra and the rest of them!?" Piccolo's hushed the child, "Quiet do you even know what time it is? It 2:00 in the morning! And as for Terra, she's alright just a hit to the head nothing more. In fact that what most of them suffered from. Oh yeah….we got two more recruits. Tapion's kids Gohan and Pan showed up and after a lot of begging and whining she agreed to let them fight." Gohan smiled but soon that turned to a frown, "But what about the androids?" Piccolo's face turned grim, "We lost them." "But that means……." "That's right," a voice said and Gohan turned to see Terra, "We're not dealing with Cell any more, We got a Perfect Cell on our hands now."
