Chapter 6: When You Gotta Go
Cell stopped several miles above the surface of the earth and slapped away Piccolo's attack. As the smoke from Gohan's burning clothes dissipated, he could sense the three warriors waiting for him below. Vegeta was already a Super Saiyan; Goku followed afterwards. Suddenly, he felt even more energy coming from them, building and flowing to the point where they both ascended to the next level. From Cell's vantage point, they were about to give all they had to defeat him, even in Gohan's body.
"How sad. I've known they would do this. Oh, how they will be surprised at the plan I have in store for them."
"…and that's why Gohan attacked you," Goku said, "King Ki told me that Cell is in control of his body."
"My little boy," Chi-Chi said sadly.
"Don't worry, Chi-Chi. We'll find a way to get him back. Right, Vegeta." Goku looked at the Saiyan prince with hopeful eyes.
"Of course. The last thing we need is to have some pathetic android to invade a Saiyan's body, regardless if he's third class."
"What about the boys?" Videl asked.
"I think we have bigger issues to deal with," Piccolo answered. "If we don't stop Cell, earth will more than likely be destroyed, and Cell will reek havoc on the universe with Gohan's body."
Goku and Vegeta felt the combination of Cell's and Gohan's energy coming from the sky. Both of them speeded upward to meet the invader, but found nothing. They were only about a quarter of a mile from the ground when they saw Cell transmitted behind Piccolo. The Namek turned around only to see the taken over body of his friend and student thrust two fingers into his chest and fire a Special Beam Cannon of his own. Piccolo cried out as his hole opened body landed several feet from his former position.
"He'll live." Cell looked at the duo of full-blooded Saiyans. "I believe we should take this elsewhere. I will tell you where your sons are if you can get there." Cell disappeared from the scene.
"Kakarott! We have to find him!" Vegeta yelled at Goku.
Goku was already searching for Cell's energy when Vegeta yelled. The Saiyan warrior concentrated and started to feel energy from numerous sources. He could feel Krillin's, Tien's, Dende's, and even Master Roshi's energy as he searched. Finally, he located the combo of Cell and Gohan. Vegeta saw Goku's look of astonishment and put his hand on Goku's shoulder. Goku took one look at Piccolo and saw his body slowly regenerating. After a confirmation look from Vegeta, both warriors disappeared in an instant.
Trunks was over the computer console of the capsule space pod. After he and Goten freed themselves from the restraints, he was trying to work the computer system.
"Goten," he said, "I think I've got it!"
"Really! Now we can finally do it!"
"Here goes nothing."
Trunks typed in a computer code into the computer and pressed enter. The screen that was displaying the readings now displayed the words "Authorization in progress." The two young Saiyans were anxious. They started to sweat as the computer processed the command.
"I just hope the master code that Mom taught me works." Trunks thought as he tensed up.
The computer remained the same for another second. Then, it displayed "Access granted." Trunks and Goten look behind them and saw it happen. Both ran to the destination as fast as they could, unzipped their pants, and urinated in the bathroom that had just opened.
"Whew," a relieved Trunks said. "I thought I'd never get it open."
"Another minute longer and I probably would have peed all over the space pod."
"I still don't know why Cell couldn't have just left the door unlocked. I'm sure he had to go. He is in Gohan's body after all." After they were done with their "business," Goten and Trunks walked back to the computer.
"Now what, Trunks. We still need to get back to earth to warn our dads about Cell in Gohan's body."
"I know, but remember, Cell put a voice activation code for the navigation system."
"Oh, can't you just use that code you used to open the bathroom to break it?"
"Maybe."
Trunks entered the code again; this time accessing the navigation controls. With another confirmation message, the screen showed them where they were in space and how far they were from earth.
"Yeah. We can get home now!" Goten shouted.
"Alright Goten. Keep you pants on."
"Hey, I just thought of something. What if Cell's already got to them?"
"Then we need to help them when we get back."
"If he has Gohan's body, he must be really powerful now. We can't go up against him. We're not strong enough." Trunks took in Goten's remark.
"Hey! Yes we can!"
Ok. It's another short one, but I guarantee that a great battle is about to take place. Hold on to your seats, because Cell is going to give our heroes a run for their lives. (Oh my God! I sound like the narrator!)
