Chapter 9- A New Home

We
flew to the Kame house, to find Goten and Trunks playing cards and Chi-Chi
yelling Gohan for something.
"…"
I knocked at the door, "hello? Can I come in?"
"WHO'S
THERE?" Yelled Trunks.
"Me."
"Ahhhh,
an android." I saw him look my way "both to be more precise".
"Hi
18, 17. How is life for androids these days?" Gohan asked friendlily.
"Not
good, when you have android-eating monster on the loose." I mumbled hoping that
Gohan wouldn't hear me. "Good, I guess."
"What
was that first part? About the android-eating monsters?"
"Oh
nothing, just a 3rd android that's not so android."
"CELL?!?"
The 3 fighters yelled, frantic.
"In
a matter of speaking" I told them.
"THIS
IS REALLY NOT THE TIME FOR PHILOSOPHY!!"
"Well,
cell has this, ummm, human form and it has a tail and almost ate 18 and killed
me" I decided to leave Kara out, for now.
"Great,
all we need is another cell. I guess that peace is so not possible." Gohan
mumbled, aggravated.
"GOHAN!!
GET BACK INTO YOUR ROOM AND STUDY!!!! I DON'T CARE WHO'S AT THE DOOR, GET BACK
IN HERE!!!!" I heard Chi-Chi yell. I almost cracked up, but I couldn't hide a
laughing smile.
"BUT
MOM, CELL IS BACK!!!"
"I
DON'T CARE GET BACK IN YOUR ROOM!!!!"
"BUT
MOM—"
"NO
BUTS, YOUNG MAN!! HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO GET A COLLEGE EDUCATION?!"
"If
I survive that long, if I had the time" Gohan mumbled.
"Ummm,
can we stay here for now?" 18 asked.
"Sure
I guess" Goten told us. "As long as you can a find a place to sleep and
something to eat, you can stay".
"Thank
you so much" I told them gratefully.
"Good
luck finding something to eat, we hardly do because Goten eats its all." Trunks
told me with a chuckle.
I
pointed out a flaw, "we don't need to eat, we're androids"
"Oh
yeah. Hey, Goten, want to introduce them to Gotenks?" Trunks yelled up the
stairs.
"Gotenks?
I asked, totally confused.
I
saw Goten come down the stairs, smiling a very Goku-like smile. Hey, they're related, no wonder they're
so alike. I thought to myself, smiling. That guy is still in my
thoughts, still in the other dimension with Piccolo and Krillin and- wait a
sec… Can Cell be there? I wondered
cautiously. I'll thought to bring it up to Gohan, and I would later.
"Sure,
why not?"
I
saw Trunks whisper something to Goten and Goten cracked up. Goten walked over
to Gohan and told him something.
"Gotenks!
Get down here!!" Gohan yelled.
"He's
not coming" Trunks said, "Goten and me will get him."
Out
of the corner of my eye, I saw Kara land. No don't come now!! I screamed
silently.
I
heard a boom and I saw a teen, about Trunk's age come down the stairs. He had
the eyes of Trunks and the hair length, but everything else looked like Goten.
Then I remembered something 18 had told me that Krillin had said when they fought
cell without me. I hope that Trunks and Goten can get here so they can
fuse into Gotenks. Yeah, that was it. Then why didn't 18 remember?
"You
guys aren't fooling me, I just remembered that Goten and Trunks fuse to become
Gotenks." 18 said smartly. I agreed
silently.
"Hey
Gohan? Can I talk to you privately?" I asked cautiously
"Sure"
I walked him up the stairs and spoke in a whisper.

"Listen,
you probably wont know, but do you know if cell is in the other dimension with
you dad and such?" I saw him froze. He
was not sure.
"ummmm……..I
don't know. If he has this human body,
doesn't that mean he would be in this dimension?" Gohan asked, uncertain.
I heard 18 yell with surprise, but not fear.
"You guys! Get down here now!" 18 yelled, very urgently.
Gohan
and me went downstairs to find Trunks on a computer and 18 telling him to do
stuff. I was extremely puzzled at the current window up at this moment.
=Android
18=
"Are
you sure 18? This is not at all what I imagined to be Cell's anatomy." Trunks
asked uncertainly.
"I
was inside him. I should know what his
insides look like." I told him. "I'll
show you where I was." I pointed to a large sac, probably about Krillin's size.
"Very flexible". I missed that kid,
Krillin, even though he was a nag. He, I guess, saved me. I remembered him
blushing when Gohan saw his secret that he had a crush on me. I was quite a
funny scene, but I had to keep the "serious" look up. Hmmmm…. a crush on an android. What do I have that
a human doesn't? I had rethought this question over and over again and
still had not found the answer.
"18?
Hello? Earth to android 18? Are you still alive in there?" I snapped out of my
thoughts to see 17 cracking up, and Goten shaking me. Trunks was waving a hand
in front of my face. I smacked both Trunks and Goten, but I was just angry. "I
was just thinking about Krillin."
"Ahhhhh,
so you do have a crush on him." Gohan said in a smart-mouth tone. He was
leaning a banister of the stairs. "I always thought so"
"Shut up, Gohan. I was just thinking about why he would have a crush on me." I said angrily. "You know, if Cell if or was ever in the other dimension. He would vaporize Krillin in an instant, and I would not give a shit.
"Yes
you would. You care about that kid. He saved you and you still think
about him as a jerk. I see right through you, 18." 17 said, seriously.
"Hey,
umm, sorry to interrupt the Kodak moment, but where should I go next?" Trunks
asked me, pointing to the computer.
"Go
to the very end of his tail. If we can find out how he absorbs people, we can
make something to stop it, hopefully." I said.
"Note
the skeptism and pause on "hopefully" Goten pointed out.
"Look,
Goten, You may Cell as a joke, but I don't. Goku couldn't have been more right
when he said that Cell doesn't have any weaknesses. Now we have the time to
look, but we may still not find any true weaknesses. You think all Cell was
built to do was destroy. But I see a bigger point, a much more powerful position
that Dr. Gero didn't intend, but then again, he didn't intend for 17 to chop
his head off. Cell is powerful, more powerful then you could ever
imagine." Goten apparently was not
listening, and Trunks was checking out the several sections of Cell's tail, the
most horrible thing in this universe, possibly even worse. Then I realized. It
had all been a trap.
=Trunks=
"What
the hell was that for?" I asked angrily.
"We
have to get out of here. Now." She was panicked, but was trying to stay calm.
"Cell is coming" I saw here fly away a top speed. I followed, lost as a flame
in heaven. I had to use a lot of ki to catch up.
"Now,
What the hell was that for?"
"Cell
put his plans on that computer on purpose. He is using them to track us." 18
told me. Suddenly, I understood it all. Cell's anatomy wasn't anywhere on any
computer.
Cell
had been there before, when me and Goten and Gohan were having a race. Chi-Chi
was yelling at Gohan, of course.
I saw a green blur, but it didn't look like
Cell. It had a tail, so I went straight into a fighting stance.
"Did
you realize?" The alien asked 18.
"Yes,
but I don't think we were in time, Kara. I think he has our ki stuck and
following it" 18 told this alien, apparently named Kara. Both of them looked at
me.
"Oh
yeah. Trunks, this is Kara. Kara, that's Trunks. We need to get out of here."
"You
are Trunks?" Kara asked, excitedly.
"Yeah.
You know me?"
"You
and you partner, Goten are heroes to our kind. Your destruction, or so-called
destruction of Cell makes you heroes."
"umm, can you back me up on the 411?" I asked uncertainly. I was totally lost.
"Well, cell destroyed my planet and most of my race, so anyone that defeats him is a hero. Get it?"
"Now
I do"
"Evil
creature will a life-sucking tail at 4 o'clock." Gohan told us in a
radio-imitating voice.
"Now,
we don't know any evil creatures with life-sucking tails, do we?" Goten asked
sarcastically.
I
shook my head, making my pinkish hair go in all directions. That was Goten's
job alright. Making sure we didn't stress ourselves to death. I couldn't help
smiling.
"Do
you mind keeping your hair out of my face?" 18 said, a smirk on her face.
"Sure, anything for the queen of perfection." I rolled my eyes and did a few flips to let off my feelings.
=Trunks=
"Hello?
Earth to Trunks! CELL IS GONNA GRAB YOU!!" Kara screamed at me. I looked and I
saw a human, with empty blue eyes and a long green tail hanging out of a trench
coat. He was a middle-aged man, probably about 50 or so. He had rich brown
hair.
"Shall
we, Cell?" Cell asked. But who?
"Of
course, Terrace." Wait a sec, Cell answering himself?
What?
Cell was talking to himself? What the hell was going on here?! What was with
this, this creature?
18
was carrying me away, still staring at this creature. It was 2 souls, one body.
=Cell=
I
watched them fly away, very satisfied with Terrace and myself. We were a good
team, his knowledge of humans and his body for my smarts and trickery, not to
mention power, ki. They had walked right into my trap. Again. I decide to give
them a few moments of terror. Using the instant transmission technique I had
picked up from a useful saiyan named Goku, I landed directly in front of
them. Studying their faces I determined
that 1) both androids were as scared as hell, 2) Gohan and Goten were not
scared and 3) Trunks was scared because he couldn't do anything because he was
still out of whack.
"I
see that Trunks is very curious about my talking to myself." I said,
maliciously, starring at Trunks "is anybody else? Perhaps I shall explain"
"Perhaps
you should" growled Kara, I could Trunks's and Goten's ki disappear, but then
felt Gotenks's.
"After
Gohan defeated me, I was nothing but a spirit of the weakest thing. I was
hanging on to life by a thread. I took shelter in the forest, the particular
that 18 and 17 happened to be in. Then I met Terrace McNown. He knew of the
saiyans and wanted them destroyed. When he discovered me, he allowed me to use
his body for mine, and his purposes. To destroy the saiyans. Now, I just simply
couldn't stand not having a tail. So I took many forest animals, and using
their life energy, recreated my tail. I told Terrace of the androids. He agreed
to help me catch them and absorb them, and then we would go after you Gohan and
Trunks and Goten. When I have enough energy, I will recreate my true body, and
a new, more powerful body for Terrace, since he deserves much more then just a
puny human body."
"Nice
speech." Gotenks said, clapping sarcastically. "Pity you didn't let go when you
were hanging on to life" A roar of laugher came from the remaining Z warriors.
"And
once I have that body, I will destroy you" I pointed at Gotenks.
"Yup,
sure, whatever, get a life. Literally" He said, and didn't care the least about
it
"You
have quite a mouth" I remarked
"You
have quite a tail" he mocked me
"Shut
up" I said. I was beginning to get angry
"Make
me," he said, still not caring
"Okay"
I
flew at Gotenks, and aimed for his head. I missed, and hit him in the stomach.
Good Enough.
"That
hurt" Gotenks said
"It
meant to. Duh" I told him and then kicked him in the place that only human boys
have that is between the legs.
Kara
scooped up Gotenks and gave him to Gohan.
"This
is my dirt ball. Last time I scooped him under the couch. This time he goes in
the vacuum cleaner." Kara said, staring at me.
How will
the Z warriors beat this new creation? Does Dendai have any ideas? Find out in Cell's
Return 4!!!!
