"If Cell absorbed all of us in your timeline and gained all our abilities,
he would have gained Piccolo's ability to have super hearing! So he could
have very well heard about the 8th Dragonball!" Krillin explained. Trunks
looked puzzled and said
"8th Dragonball?! What are you talking about?".
"Hey, yeah! What Dragonball?!" Yumcha joined in. Krillin, suddenly
got a look of shock on his face.
"Neither of you guys know do you? Gees, where to start…" Krillin thought,
scratching his head.
Swoosh! Tien flew down low by the sea water with 17 still being carried
on his back. He was still flying away from Cell when he finally decided
to stop.
"There, I think that's far away enough. I need to rest some place…"
he thought as he flew up high, looking for an island to rest. He instantly
spotted a small island to the right of him.
"Hey! That'll do…" Tien said to himself as he jetted over to it and
landed at the shoreline and sat down.
"Phew, I'm beat." He sighed and fell backwards so he just landed on
the floor with 17 placed beside him. 17, who had passed out from all the
commotion, just woke up to see Tien lying next to him. 17 stood up and
looked around and yawned
"Where am I?". Tien sat up to see 17 up and looking better than ever.
"Hey 17! How ya feelin'?" Tien asked rather cheerfully. 17 just kept
looking around when it hit him.
"We're back here agin?!?" he yelled. Tien shot up straight away and
asked what was wrong.
"What's wrong?!" 17 yelled again, "You took me back to the island we
first met Cell on!!!".
"So?" Tien yawned scratching his head.
"So?!? Odds are Cell will backtrack and find us!!!" he continued. Tien
merely shrugged and told 17
"Don't worry, we aren't staying here. I'm just taking a break.", and
he fell back down to the ground again. 17 continued to look around and
saw all the damage done by the portal Adon arrived through. That was when
he saw a familiar green man almost dead lying on the shore a short distance
away.
"PICCOLO!!!" yelled 17. Tien jumped up in a fright.
"What?! Where?" he asked, but 17 was already running to him. 17 stopped
at Piccolo's side and knelt down at his side.
"Man, he's badly hurt, but still alive. Tien! Do you have any Sensu
beans?" 17 said. Tien shook his head and also knelt by Piccolo.
"Piccolo, if you can hear me, hang in there. We'll get you some beans
as soon as possible." Tien reassured Piccolo and Tien stood up and scanned
the sea for any movement.
"17! You have to guard Piccolo, I'll be back soon with some beans."
He said as a white flame began to burn around him.
"No! Wait!" 17 tried to yell, but Tien and already shot off toward
Kami's house.
"Dammit, I just hope he gets back here before Cell does…" 17 thought
as he watched Piccolo.
"Hmmm, interesting, your Time Chamber is just as I imagined…" Adon thought
aloud as he admired the empty white space outside the main building. Vegita
was leaning against the door frame of the building, looking at Adon with
hate in his eyes…or more of an envy. As Adon turned around to Vegita, Vegita
gave a grunt and walked back inside.
"So this is the Time Chamber, huh Daddy?" Gohan asked. Goku nodded
with a smile. Adon slowly walked in and started to walk towards a bed when
he stopped, looked at Gohan and gave an evil smirk. Gohan became slightly
worried.
"Daddy, I don't like Adon, he's creepy…" Gohan whimpered.
"I know son, I must admit, he has been acting strange, especially when
he asked you to come…" Goku pondered. Adon walked up to a bed and was checking
it out.
"Gohan, I want you to be careful. Keeps your eyes open, I don't trust
him." Goku added. Gohan's face went from slightly worried, to very worried.
"But Daddy, I thought you said we could trust him!"
"I know I said that, but the only real reason I said that as so he
would train us to this new level of Super Saiyan."
"Daddy, that's not like you…"
"Maybe, but I've been testing this 'Saiyan' ever since he arrived and
I don't think he's really on our side. I believe his story about Oblivion,
but something about him…it's just not right…" Goku finished. Gohan became
serious and nodded as Adon walked up to them.
"Well? I brought you here to train! Now do you want to be Super Saiyan
level 3 or not?!?" he yelled. Both of them were shocked by his sudden demand.
Vegita, who was standing by another bed, suddenly turned around in curiosity.
"Did he just say, Super Saiyan level 3?!?" Vegita wondered, now very
interested…
"Bah! I get tired of waiting! I must make my wish before that Saiyan
finds me, or I may suffer the fate of my master." Cell thought to himself.
Cell got up and paced back and forth, suffering of extreme boredom.
"What I would do for a decent battle! Vegita's DNA has given me an
uncontrollable craving for battle I cannot contain!" Cell continued, as
he turned to look at the Dragonball.
"I suppose if I only left it for a minute…". Cell floated up into the
air a little.
"I guess I can just cause some havoc and come back. Why not? Besides,
by what I heard before, they don't even know the orb is here!" he smirked,
and flew off for something to destroy.
"Hmmm, I must check out my master's lab! After all, no harm in looking
up some of my own history…". Cell took off super fast towards where he
knew his master's lab was. The Dragonball lay on the island with no one
to look after it…
"So that's Adon's story…" Krillin finished. Trunks and Yumcha were speechless.
"So that's why the others have gone into the Time Chamber…" Trunks
said. Krillin nodded.
"Let's just pray that Goku and the others are strong enough when they
come out! This Oblivion dude sounds really bad…" Yumcha thought aloud.
Trunks suddenly turned into a Super Saiyan and took off.
"Wait Trunks! Where are you going?!" Yumcha yelled out to him.
"To stop Cell before he absorbs Android 17! I can still stop him…".
To be continued…
