There was a dead silence where Cell and the Androids first fought. There
didn't seem to be a single movement or sound. Then out of the ocean, by
the shore of the island, Piccolo dragged himself onto dry land.
"Ugh…Cell…he got away…no…" he whispered to himself with his last ounce
of energy he went limp and was unconscious. The island went back to silence
and no one else was to be seen…
"Hmmm, that must be it!" Adon thought to himself and flew over to the
fortress he spotted in the air. He landed on the edge of Kami's Fortress
and deactivated his Super Saiyan mode. That was when he saw two people
standing by the entrance of the large building on the platform. Adon simply
stared at them and the two people stared back in curiosity, but not fear.
"And who might you two be?" Adon asked. The short one with black hair
merely smiled.
"I am Vegita, the most powerful being in the universe. And you are?"
Vegita asked while Trunks, the other person, walked up beside Vegita.
"I am Adon. And I hate to break it to you, but you aren't the most
powerful being in the universe…I am." Adon said with a smirk on his face,
much like Vegita's. Vegita went very serious for a moment.
"Hmmm, you must be Cell…" Vegita responded, now smiling again proudly,
"Well I am a Super Saiyan and you are no match for me!". Adon with a slight
look of shock gave Vegita a look, then said
"For your information I am-". Before he could finish, Vegita interrupted.
"A weak fool? I know, you don't have to tell me." He laughed. Adon,
reckless as he is, began to become angry.
"You had better take that back…" sneered Adon, and Vegita also got
angry.
"Like I said, you are out of your league…." Vegita warned and he clenched
his right fist. The second his fist tightened he transformed into a Super
Saiyan.
"…so you'd better leave, or will I have to make you?" he added. Trunks
put his hand on Vegita's shoulder and said
"Clam down father, don't over do it…". Vegita quickly spun around and
Trunks removed his hand.
"Never tell me what to do! Now step aside as I show you what a real
Super Saiyan is capable of…" he yelled and Adon just looked at Vegita with
a look of anger.
"So this is the other Super Saiyan Goku talked about. It seems to me
he needs to be taught a lesson." he thought to himself.
"Bring it on."
"Any sign of him?" asked Krillin. Yumcha who was flying at his side
looking the other direction just shook his head.
"We have to hurry or Cell will get to 17 first." Tien said. Yumcha
and Krillin didn't respond, but just flew, knowing that Tien was dead right.
Time was running out and they had to hurry. When they were about to give
up, Yumcha's face lit up and he pointed franticly.
"Look! I think I see him!" he yelled. The other two quickly looked
and surely enough, there was 17 flying across the sea very slowly, wounded
from battle with Cell. All three of them quickly glided over the water
toward him and arrived at his side in a matter of seconds. 17 looked up
to see the three.
"You? Can't you take a hint?! Beat it!" he warned and attempted to
keep flying when Krillin flew in front of him.
"Now hang on a minute, we're here to help you!" Krillin replied. But
17, now angry simply said
"I don't need your help or pitty! Now go away or I'll make you!".
"Look, Cell is after you and you can't just wander out here like this.
You're hurt. Is there any place you can hide and get better?" Krillin offered.
17 lifted his arm as if to punch Krillin out of the way, but stopped and
lowered his arm.
"Dr. Gero's Lab. But now it's destroyed so it's not worth it." He sighed,
looking away. The others looked at each other when Yumcha had an idea.
"Would the Senzu Beans work on an Android?" Yumcha questioned.
"I'm not sure, but there's no harm in trying, eh?" Krillin said with
a bit of a chuckle. 17 didn't know what Senzu Bean were, but he nodded
anyway. That was when 17 looked behind Krillin in horror. Krillin spun
around and also became terrified, soon followed by the others. For out
of the water, Cell slowing floated up into the air only a couple of meters
away from them.
"Hmmm, although I have found something more important to do, I guess
I should take care of old business while I'm here…" Cell smirked. All of
them were too scared to move…except for 17 who tried to make a break for
it in the other direction. Unfortunately, Cell instantly appeared in front
of 17 before he could escape and 17 flew backwards a little away from Cell.
"17, you are no longer my main focus. But that still doesn't change
the fact that it is our destiny to be together…" he told 17. 17 just backed
a little further away and yelled
"I'll never let you absorb me! Y-y-you monster!!! I'd rather die!".
Cell merely shook his head.
"You disappoint me 17. You should know by now that whether you want
to or not I will absorb you. Why make it harder than it has to be?" informed
Cell, but 17 wasn't buying it. Yumcha flew between 17 and Cell.
"There's no way your going to absorb 17, not while we're here!" he
yelled. Cell, with a smile replied
"If you insist…" and fired a ball of energy straight at Yumcha's stomach.
Yumcha gave out a yell of pain and fell into the ocean, limp.
"No! Yumcha!!!" Tien yelled and Krillin just watched helplessly. Cell
stopped looking at where Yumcha landed and he looked at the rest.
"Anyone else care to protest?" he added with an evil laugh, "because
if not, I'll be taking Android 17 now…". 17 just looked at Cell, trying
to think of what to do. The others felt just as helpless as 17 as Cell
started slowly hovering towards 17.
"Daddy! Why did you fly off like that? I was worried." Gohan complained
as he caught up to Goku. Goku started flying in the direction he once was
and Gohan followed.
"Sorry, I was just testing Adon's speed and there's no doubt about
it! He's definitely a Super Saiyan, and a very strong one at that." Goku
explained. Gohan looked at Goku.
"Do you think he can train us? I mean, you know, get us strong enough
in time?" Gohan asked. Goku just flew on with a bit of a pause before responding.
"I don't know Gohan, but there is a great battle coming, and the only
hope we have of standing a chance is to trust Adon.". Gohan nodded and
followed his father who was going at a pace so Gohan could keep up. Both
now flew silent, knowing that the battle approaching was very serious,
and they may be luck to survive it…
