Trunks gaped at her in confusion, yet let her continue. "There was little Dende wouldn't do for me. In fact, he healed your father's broken ribs because I asked him to. Somehow, he knew I was suffering from the withdrawal because of Gohan's death so he did something about it. And he also knew that the others missed their mates. He found a loophole. Goku-san is back." Suddenly, she sobered, feeling a dangerous power nearby.
"Cell. We can't do much until he shows himself." Again, Trunks focused on the kis of their allies. "They won't be here in time to help." Jynx and Ariel came back up to their mother and the warrior who'd just defeated the worst enemy they'd ever seen.
Then, they flew back to Capsule Corp., trying to suppress their discomfort. Once they'd landed, Jynx took her sister straight to bed, seeing how tired she was. A startled shriek caused them to turn to the lab. Bulma came running out, but something had happened to her. She was biologically younger than she'd been for a long time.
Anemone looked her right in the eye. "Bulma, do you remember my adoptive brother?"
"Aa. Why?"
"Because this is most likely his doing. They knew that the survivors of the attacks were going to have to be a lot younger and stronger to ensure the survival of the race." Then, she gazed at her in a thoughtful way. "Could you ever sense ki?"
She blinked in surprise. "At one time I was able to. When I was sixteen."
"Try now. I think that might be your biological age."
Bulma blinked again, but did as she was told. A weird power aught her attention for only a moment, but many from beyond the solar system felt so familiar. "Are those kis who I think they are?"
"Yes, Bulma, they're coming home. Dende can be such a little imp at times." Although her teasing was light-hearted, they could see a bit of irritation behind it. He was just too unpredictable. Either it was that or she was anxious to get Gohan back.
Trunks looked about uneasily, recognizing the power he was sensing all too easily. Cell. He must be stopped. All of those innocent people. I won't let him take anymore! But I must wait until he shows himself. "Kaasan, I think I should go back and let them know that I won."
"That's a good idea, Trunks. Just be sure to double check those calculations."
He nodded starting to work. Good thing Anemone insisted on teaching me how to do this. The young warrior looked up sharply. Many different powers were converging on the others he'd noticed before. But why? My father mentioned that infants had been sent away before Vejitasei was destroyed. These must be them and their children.

Trunks stood by his time machine, dressed in his battle armour. "Be careful. You never know what could happen with the Z senshi around." Bulma declared.
He tensed up, realizing who was nearby. "Kaasan, please go inside." She blinked, then sensed the power her son was.
Be careful.
"I know you're there, Cell."
The biosynthoid stopped in shock. "Nani? How did you know?"
"You know I destroyed the jinzouningen. Maybe you wanted to kill me and steal my time machine. Well, I won't let you."
An astonished gasp came from Cell. "I knew it! All this time I've been searching, but I knew it was true!"
"Let's take this away from here." They flew off, away from the city and towards an uninhabited area.
