Cell Forever: Chapter 1

(All characters except the ones I made up are from DBZ, in other words don't sue me. I'm just writing a fanfic here.)


Cell writhed in his bed, he had been having many nightmares lately and hadn't been sleeping well. He kept remembering what happened that day, about a year earlier....

Bulma had descended the ladder leading down to the abyss of Dr. Gero's lair. Yamcha was right behind her. But it was obvious Bulma's curiosity was driving her forward.
"Uhhh do you really think we should be doing this?" whined Yamcha.
"Yes! Now be quiet." snapped Bulma as she entered the chamber of Gero's hidden Bunker.
"This is amazing." thought Bulma as she inspected the contents of the lair. Her eyes suddnely laid upon a small thing floating in a giant test tube of green liquid.
"Now what is this thing?" Bulma thought out loud, as she poked at the test tube.
"Maybe you should just leave it alone. Maybe we should get out of here." whined Yamcha yet again.
"Oh hush, this is very fascinating, I think I'm going to take this back to my lab." she said back. After which she spied a small control panel with the words "Cell" written above them.
"Hmm....so I guess this things name is Cell. Now I really want to find out what this thing is." she said, as she began typing something on the computer.
"Stasis mechanism activated. Tank will be able to survive independently for 12 hours." said a robotic voice as Bulma finished typing.
She was ready to leave when she spied some notes hanging around the test tube on a table.
She hastily picked it up and began to read outload. As she read she realized thay were lab notes.
"My first experiment on creating a perfect android was a failure. Project Jade ended horribly. She was to be the perfect android, nothing would stop her. But her humanity turned out to be to strong to be used as a killing machine. Therefore I have switched over to my latest work, Project Cell. This time I have programmed him to be a unstopable killing machine. He will have no use for humanity, all he will need is the hunger for power. The problem I have arrived with is that I used all my special parts in building Jade, as well as androids 17 and 18. Therefore I can only come to one rational decision, program Cell to seek out my rebellious creations, and become the perfect being that I once programmed Jade to be."
As she finished the last word, she eyed a second test tube, in the far back corner of the lab, this one was covered in cob webs and dust, seeming not to have been touched in awhile. Bulma walked over to inspect it, to find out the vital signs of the small creature inside were just as alive as Cell was. And after doing a simililar process, she put the second test tube in stasis.
"C'mon Yamcha, carry these tubes out to the car, then I can take them to the lab and analyze them." commanded Bulma.
"All right, all right, the sooner we get out of this place the better." and with that he picked the two tubes up and flew up the entrance way. Bulma who then slowly picked up the rear. As Bulma reached near the exit, she felt the whole place begin to shake, and she dashed outside only to see the whole lab collapse in on itself.
"Phew....that was close." breathed Bulma. C'mon lets get these back, who knows, maybe we can use these things to defeat the androids. Because if my guess is correct, these androids must be awfully powerful if Gero put so much faith in them. Yamcha nodded and soon they were off.

That had been almost a year ago. Since then, Vegita and the others had been doing there best to fend off the androids as they went on their rampage. Trunx had been born, since during the crisis, Bulma and Vegita had come to terms slightly with their relationship. And finally Cell had reached his first level after hatching from his shell.
Cell moved again uncomfortably in his bed. Bulma had treated him like she was his mother. She always told him that if she hadn't reprogramed him, he would be doing things worse then those androids. He smiled thinking that even though she was annoying sometimes, she did treat him like a son. She seemed the only one who did treat him human at all though. All the others looked upon him as a freak, since to them, he was nothing but a giant bug. Vegita especially, saying that he should be destroyed immediately after he was born. Of course Bulma countered this by saying if it weren't for Cell, Bulma would of never been able to use Gero's technology to create a cure for Goku. And without him, most of the Z warriors wouldn't be alive right now.
Cell seemed to spend most of his days, wandering around the lab, and wondering what his true purpose was. He had always wanted to go out and fight, but Bulma always watched over him like a hawk, saying that he wasn't ready for battle. When he wasn't complaining about this, he spent time talking to the being inside the test tube, the being which his mother referred to as Jade. It was a small creature, much like he used to look like....or so his mother told him. He wondered constantly what Jade would look like and how it would act when it hatched.
Cell turned once again in his sleep. What were these voices that he kept hearing. They sounded like a man's voice echoing in his head. Suddenly the voices started to become clear to him, and his purpose started to form in his mind. And he knew what he wanted....Human lives.
Bulma walked in later that night feeling a disturbance in the room.
"Cell....cell? Cell where are you?" she asked no one, as she peered at the room. Then her gaze met an open window, and she gasped wondering what could of happened.....
