Authors note: This is going to be a long note…Ok, when I started this I didn't want it to be a fanfic, so all the stuff I should of put in such as AN's and whatever aren't there. Also, I know when Goten is alive he is very EXTREMELY AMAZINGLY out of character, but that's because first of all I started this before the Cell saga ended the first time, and I needed a bad good guy. Also, thanks to all the people who reviwed, especially Becbet (^_^), despite it didn't say too. Thanks to everyone who read it, even if you didn't review, and I love to chat or feel free to IM me. Kobra1721@aol.com . Oh and I'm really sorry that it took me months to finish this, I just got into Mirai and well, I stopped writing CR all together. But anyway, thanks!

Chapter 37- The Kara Pendant?

=Android No. 17=

I was desperately lost between Onoca flying off, Trunks taking WAY to long, and Karait 'transforming'.

"Are you confused to, 18?" I asked her.

"Oh yeah. Oh yeah I am."

"Guys, I think it would be best if you guys land at the lookout. I want to know what Onoca's doing." Gohan said, inspecting Karait. "Oh yeah he's alive, just tired."

"Both of us? I mean, that would leave only you." 18 asked.

"You're right, 18. 17, just you go." Gohan said.

"Okay. Seeya 18, Seeya Gohan."  I said and left, heading for the lookout.

"Man this is really weird. Crap I'm freaked…well…out." I said to particularly no one.

I spotted Onoca up ahead. From where I was, I couldn't see that well, but it looked like Kara was on his shoulder. I used extra energy to catch up.

"Onoca?" I asked. "What are you doing?"

Onoca looked back and flew up ahead, as if he didn't me to follow. But I persisted. AN did kept following. I could now see that Kara was on his shoulder.

"ONOCA WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" I yelled, now thoroughly aggravated.

Onoca stopped, stared a couple of holes in me and spoke in a quiet, angry voice.  "Don't you get the picture, Juuanagou? I want you to leave me alone." He said and jetted off.

Now not only was I aggravated, I was shocked too. "DID YOU CHANGE SIDES OR SOMETHING?!" I yelled, only to get a ki blast in my face, throwing me down. Right in front of Cell.

"Well hello now. I must say this is a surprise." He said.

I was on my feet immediately. "Get away from me, you scum."

"Onoca hurt you? I'm sorry." He said fake sarcastically.

"Cell shut up and go to hell. Rot in hell. Do whatever you do that's really painful in Hell. Just go away." 

"that's not a nice way to treat someone."

Now, I was angry, but I wasn't dumb. Picking a fight with Cell would only practically sacrifice myself. I flew up, right back to the Lookout.

"What are you doing here?" Cell asked maliciously. "Any last words?"

Onoca wasn't outside. But he was probably inside considering the fact I heard shouts of mixed Io and Namek. So Dende had to be there too. Wait, I heard English as well. So it must be all of them. Popo, Dende, Onoca, and maybe Kara. Deciding to bring Cell there, I ran in.

"I'm growing impatient, Android. Just stop somewhere."

I was shocked. Incorrect, understatement. I was EXTREMLY FUCKING shocked. Onoca was standing there, a dead Kara in front of him. Dende was healing her, I think. Mr. Popo was looking on shocked. Dende saw me first. Actually, I think he saw Cell first because of his response.

"CELL!!!!" he yelled.

Onoca looked over. He put his hands to his forehead. "SOLAR FLARE!!!" He yelled. Cell was blinded. I just shut my eyes. Cell's a dumbass. Hahahaha.  I flew in.

Cell, now raging madly,  almost broke the entire lookout. "LOOKOUT!!!!" I screamed at Dende, pushing him over so a huge piece of stone missed him. It caught me instead.

"17!!!! CRAP NO!!!!!" Onoca yelled at blasted the boulder off of me. But I was badly damaged and was out of the fight. "17 read this to the others!!!" he yelled and handed me a note. I flew off.

When the flare ran out. Cell was standing there, holding Onoca by his neck, and his tail pointed straight at Onoca's head.

"Any of you move, Onoca dies." Cell said.

=Trunks=

(he's en route to the lookout)

I honestly couldn't believe I ran into Cell Jrs. I was freaked out when I saw them, one at each ball. I had killed them all, but it had had a negative effect on me and I was severely beaten. I reached the lookout high up. And I was shocked at what I saw. Kara, lying on the ground, beaten. Dende and Mr. Popo, frozen in fear. Onoca, being held at tailpoint by Cell. Hopefully, Cell didn't see me. I landed silently and motioned to Dende and Popo not  to 'see' me. Sneaking quietly up, my ki low, I kicked Cell hard across the head.

"TRUNKS!!! YOU'RE BACK!!!" Onoca yelled.

"yup. Ran into Cell Jrs on the way to each ball. That's why I took so long."

"Why me?" Cell asked hopelessly to no one.

"You chose the wrong path of life. What else is there to say? That's why you." Onoca said.

"You do have the Dragon Balls, right Trunks?" Dende asked.

"Yeah all 7."

"How wonderful is this? I mean, 17 brings me right to you guys, and Trunks brings me the Dragon Balls." Cell asked sarcastically.

"Dende, you can fly, right? Take Kara to Aso." (Code name place)

"Aso? Isn't that a little far?" Dende asked worriedly.

"I think the farther, the better. SO just go." Onoca answered and a worried Dende flew off with Kara over his shoulder.

"I don't have time for this shit. I'm leaving, come around when you have a death wish."  Cell said and flew off, very bored looking.

Man that bitch was annoying!!!! I wonder if we can wish him away…………

"Onoca what where you going to do?" I asked.

Chapter 38-  Wishes for Sayjins

"Don't worry about it. Now are wishes are?" he asked.

"One was to kick Terrace---"

"He left, scratch that"

"Okay we are wishing Piccolo and Vegita back." I said.

Onoca sighed. "Yes, wish Vegita back. Piccolo is essential, but I wish that Kara could meet Goku."

I thought about that. "You're right, they are similar in so many ways."

"I better go back to Karait and the rest. No wait, I said I was going to Aso. Trunks, do you know where Piccolo' s waterfall spot is?"

"Almost."

"Okay look around there for them. GO meet up with them and they will tell you the entire story."

I flew off, back to the 'spot'.

I landed a little while later. "18!!!"

"Hey Trunks. You got the balls?" she asked.

"What took so long?" asked Karait, who was using his elbows to support him from the ground.

"What happened here?" I asked, noticing the destroyed scenery.

"Well, 17 says I went crazy and went Kimetae with no Kimetae and killed Kaseen, Goten, and released Kara and trashed the landscape in the process." He said all in one breath.

17 nodded, still floating because his legs were totally offline.

"17, what does that note say?" I asked, remembering.

17 pulled the note out of his pocket and read it to us. "Dear Karait, 17, 18, Onoca, Goten, Gohan and Trunks. Hi, it's me, Kara. I'm still alive, just as a spirit. Onoca says that he will make the 'Kara Pendant. Goten and Gohan, fuse. Trust me here. If one of you is dead, fuse with Trunks. 18 hang on. Everything's gonna be all right. 17, listen to me. Go to Cell. Tell him that he can have you if we get Kaseen dead. 18 comes to if he kills Kio also. Your leading Io girl, Kara-Minohko-Kaseen, Kimetae Seer Io."

"THAT'S CRAZY!!!!" Karait yelled.

"I know what you mean by that." 18 said.

"Oh yeah we do." 17 said.

"But there is a definite strategy to that." I commented. "If Cell were perfect, he'd think that he'd win. But we have stronger people." I finished.

"She's right in some ways." Gohan said. "But wrong in others."

"But think about it as an expendable war game. It would put us in a win/win situation. We'd just loose you guys." I said again.

17 shot me a cold look. "Just because we killed Gohan in your time means you don't care about us. Do you?"

"17, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for looking at this in a more Cell-like way, but in order to beat Cell you have to think like him. I'm sorry for looking for strategy. I'm sorry for trying to help. You know what? I'm sorry for existing." I said angrily.

"Trunks……" 17 started.

"And what about the Dragon Balls? We can just wish you back anyway." I said again and turned around.

"Guys, I don't think it would be best for fighting. Goten's death is supposed to solve that problem, remember?" Karait said and smiled.

The 5 of them sat down and talked for a long time, about 3 hours. Gohan talked about his dad, Trunks about his. Karait talked about his entire family, the Io in general. 17 and 18 just listened. At one point 17 was talking about 16, but it didn't last long. After that they told scary stories; Karait was the master of that. Onoca landed a few minutes after they finished.

"SO where's the Kara Pendant?"

"IS she crazy sacrificing me and 18?"

"How's Dende?"

"Did you meet Cell, or Kio?"

=Onoca=

Ahhhhh!!! Questions from all around.

"Stop. I'll answer them one at a time. The Kara pendent, which is the new Kimetae Pendant, is on my neck. Kara is not crazy with that strategy because it would put us in a win/win situation only by sacrificing you 2, who could be wished back anyway. Dende is fine; a little shocked, but fine. I met Cell but not Kio. It that all?" I said tiredly.

"yeah I think so. Can I see the new Kimetae Pendant?" Trunks asked.

"Sure." I said and pulled it out, revealing the crystal that it was.

"Trunks!!!! Gohan!!!!!! 17!!!!18!!!! So nice to see you guys again."

"KARA!!!!!!" they all screamed.

"Man I missed you guys so much!!! You would not believe how much I missed you guys. And you should see things that Kio and Cell do!! It's disgusting."

We all laughed.

"I'm kinda sorry for missing the party here, but did you find out anything…..uh….strategic?" Trunks asked.

"Not really. Pretty cocky guys, though. I think playing dead would be the best way to beat them." Kara said.  

"why is this pendant different?" 17 asked.

"because the pendant if formed in a weird spiritual kind of way. See, anyone can…..uh….pendantize themselves, it's just a ceremony. So Kaseen could of captured Onoca inside a pendant, he would have had to force him to do the ceremony. But they didn't know that. So what happens is that the spirit and the body is compacted into a smaller, simpler spirit , and the spiritual ways, or karma, is translated into a shape. That shape is the shape of the pendant. Mine is different then his because his spiritual ways are different then mine."

"That's interesting." 18 pointed out.

"Yeah. But It's really hard. You screw up and you'll end like a burnt marshmallow. Soft and crispy on the outside, and melted on the inside." Kara said.

"How do you know what burnt marshmallows look like?" Trunks asked.

"I was reading Terrace's…well, actually our shared mind….one day when I met his memory on burnt marshmallows."

" I don't want to know what that means." Gohan said and cringed.

"No you don't." Kara said and laughed.

Yeah, it was good having Kara back. She gave something to the group that none of us had. Kind of like Goku did. Yeah, I'd defiantly say those 2 would like to meet each other. Hey, maybe they will.

"Let's maket he wishes before we screw up again…..hey wait why don't we wish Kara to have a body?"

"her original body." I asked Gohan.

"if it's possible. If not then an Io body." He answered.

"And Io female Seer body. There is quite a difference." I corrected.

"Whatever." 17 said. "I think you should make the wishes."

"Sure I'll do it." I said, thorough exited. "Trunks? The balls?"

"okay." He said and pulled all of them out of his different pockets. "that's all 7."

"Why 7?" I asked curiously.

"I don't know." Gohan said. "I never asked."

"Vegita is important. Gohan, I think we are going to ditch Piccolo here."

"Okay.  I understand." Gohan said, very depressed.  He walked away silently, head drooped. I felt sorry for th ekid, but this was important.

"Okay, lets do it." I said to Trunks. He put all the dragon balls out and then Eternal Dragon formed, Shenlong.

  "I will never get used of seeing him." Gohan whispered.

"TELL ME YOU WISH SO I MAY GRANT IT."

I took a deep breath. "I wish for Kara to have an Io Kimetae Seer Female body."

"IT SHALL BE DONE." His eyes glowed red. The pendant floated off my neck and a white flash of light appeared. When it subsided, Kara was standing there, just like new.

"TELL ME YOU SECOND WISH."

"I wish for Prince Vegita to be living and him be here."

"IT SHALL BE DONE." 

Vegita just appeared. I was a shocking sight when someone just appears. I had seen it once with Cell, and I was still freaked out.

The Dragon subsided back into the Dragon Balls and they shot out in different directions.

"Well? What are we waiting for?" Gohan said, smiling.

Vegita, still slightly freaked from just disappearing, looked around.

"how'd I get here………….?" He wondered. "with Kakorot's kid…….?"

"Vegita…..we brought you here via Dragon Balls….to finish the plan." I said.

"Onoca! Oh so you wished me back? I'm honored." Vegita said, smirking.

"Why'd you have to wish him back……." 17 grumbled.

"Shut up, Android." Vegita spat. "Now Onoca, you have the plans?"

"Karait? Go get them. IT's just paper, and it should be easy to find."

Karait used his instant transmission and came back a  minute later with several pieces of paper.

"ahh yes you have them." Vegita said. "good."

"thanks, Karait." I said as he handed them to me. "Vegita, this is Karait. You know the rest."

"Hello, Karait. I am Vegita, Prince of the Sayjins." Vegita said in his pompous voice.

"Errr……..Yeah. Hi." Karait said.

"I don't think he likes you, Vegita." I said and laughed.

"Hello Vegita. I'm Kara."

"Hello. I'm assuming that you are the one Onoca talks about frequently."

"SO are you." Kara said, smirking.

"Kara, I want to show you these plans we were making." I said, motioning to Vegita and Kara. "Come on."

The 3 of us walked over to a secluded spot and Vegita unrolled the plans.

"The 2 of you did this?! Crap, this is good!! Man either Vegita's really good at this or Onoca has hidden it from me!!" Kara yelled, surprised.

"A little of both." I said.

=Kara=

Damn, I never knew Onoca was this good!! These plans were amazing!! The number of detail to everyone was shocking. One flaw: the plans were to precise. If one thing was screwed up, the plan would fail.

"One weakness." I said.

"What?!" Vegita yelled, taken aback. "This plan is perfect!"

"No it's not. The plan is perfect, yes it is. But the carrying-out has to be perfect also or else this wont work. And Karait isn't that experienced, and 18 is traumatized. There is no room for mistakes here. There has to be a decent amount of room for errors."

Onoca studied the plan. "She's right Vegita. This plan would have to be taken out by people with perfectly controlled strength. Like the 3 of us. That's why Tien, Yamcha and Krillin were backups. They weren't strong enough. Piccolo, Goku, you and I had enough strength to carry this out and were able to control it on a dime. Karait and 18 wont be able to."

"Yes, but we have Kakorot's son also.  And my own son here. We can elaborate. We can have an extra QB, me. SO that makes Onoca and I QB's and Kara would be the receiver. Trunks and Gohan could be Linebackers, and Karait and 17 safeties. 18 would be on the sidelines." Vegita said.

"Maybe it would be better if Gohan and I were receivers and Trunks and 17 being the linebackers, the 18 the safety." I suggested.

"that would make more room for error." Vegita said, approvingly.

"exactly. More room for cover-ups." Onoca said.

"Should we tell them?" Vegita asked.

"No. Not yet." I said, shaking my head.

"Why not?" Onoca asked.

"I don't know, but something just tells me not to tell them. By the way, who can do a Kamehameha here?"

"Gohan and Karait. And I have the Final Flash and Big Bang, which are the best,"  Vegita said, being a pompous bitch as usual, "and you and Onoca have takamase. Trunks has his move. (I don't know what it's called) and 17 and 18 have their move (I forgot what that one's called too.) So we have a decent arsenal here."

"Okay then……….Good enough I suppose."

=Cell=

How many of us were left? Me and Kio. Terrace if you counted him, but couldn't really fight.

"Cell, we got so screwed over on that." Kio said to me.

"Duh…………"

"Cell, shut up or stop being sarcastic. We are kinda in a really bad situation."

"I wish I could beat up Goten. He's such a good punching bag……." I complained.

"Me too, Cell. But he's not here. And we aren't either if we don't think of something soon."

"Oh and they have the Dragon Balls." I said.

"THEY WHAT?!" Kio yelled. "THEY HAVE THOSE DAMNED BALLS?!"

"and they probably are going to wish Vegita back and for Kara to have a body."

"DAMNIT! SHIT!!!! WE ARE SO SCREWED UP HERE!!!"

"and you think I'm loud?" I asked sarcastically.

"LOOK CELL, JUST SHUT UP!!! YOU'VE NEVER BEEN IN ONE OF THESE SITUATIONS BEFORE, HAVE YOU?!"

"nope." I said, getting freaked at Kio.

"Well, then let me explain it to you. We have 1 in a million chance of us winning."

"oh. That's bad." I said.

"yeah it is. So lets try and find that 1. So maybe if we actually tried…….."

"We could win!!!" I said "man I cant believe I'm so smart."

"You are a pompous bitch you know."

"I try hard." I said sarcastically.

"look Cell. You're cool and all, but if you don't stop this I'm going to have to kill you."

"You sound like 16." I commented.

"Cell!!!"

"What?! I was just making a comment. And it wasn't a sarcastic one so there."

"Cell?"

"what are you going to say to me now?" I asked.

"do you feel that very powerful power level?" Kio asked.

I looked for one. Let's see here…..i recognized Kara's signal. But 2 others didn't recognize. And the rest were missing. "This is giving me a really bad feeling."

Kara landed, followed shortly by an Io that wasn't familar. Then the unfamiliar guy that looked strangely like a combination of Gohan and Trunks. Wait a sec…….they fused!!!!

"Shit." I said.

"so what bad news do you have?"

"Gohan and Trunks fused. Onoca and Karait fused. 2 fusions that will seriously screw us over."

"As if you weren't already." Kara said. She looked at Kio. Hate, anger, pain. All shown in Kara's eyes.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't my favorite Kimetae girl."

(I quote from the Cell games) "Can it." Kara said irritably. "You don't know why I'm mad at you. You're too cocky."

"Acutally," Kio said. "I was trying to tell Cell lets get planning."

"Well I'm still pissed at you."

"Let me guess. You're pissed at me because I told Kaseen to kill you."

"Close, but not exactly." Kara said. Personally I didn't have any ideas myself.

"then tell me why you hate me."

"Because you blew up my planet. Because you destroyed my race. Because you forced me to kill you. And because you forced me turn Karait into a warrior. I don't hate you for telling Kaseen to kill me. I hate Kaseen for that one."

Chapter 39 –Very Switchable

=Kio=

Everyone was confused by Kara's speech.

"I don't hate him for you teaching me how to fight." Karait/Onoca said.

"Karait, when I met you I wanted you to be a Seer. A teacher and a student. I wanted to show you the stars. But instead I had to turn you into a killer. You will never understand what I mean, because you will never meet another Seer. And when I told 17 and 18 that the Skirineen destroyed my planet, I lied. I don't want to kill you, Kio. I don't want to kill you either, Cell. You both are amazing beings. Amazing creatures, really. But if you guys are going to destroy Karait, Onoca, and everyone else, I have to. I'm sorry."

Both Cell and I stared blankly. Vegita looked at Kara in a weird way. "You….you don't want to kill either of them? I guess Onoca is the exception to the stupid Io."

Kara shot a look at Vegita. "Yes and Gohan and Trunks are the exception to the stupid Sayjins. Except Gohan's dad."

"Don't push it, Io."

"Watch it, Sayjin." 

"I hate to interrupt the tension.  But I think Vegita was the stupider one here." I said.

"Shut up Kio." Vegita shot at me.

Kara stood up. Cell laughed. "I'm having a hunch you are going to pull a Goku speech on us."

"How right can you be?" Kara asked. "I'm not going to ask for you to change if someone had affection---"

Right then Vegita screamed. "DON'T TELL ME YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON CELL!!!!!"

"oh hell no. I was just saying that would you change if someone loved you?"

"No." Cell answered abruptly.

"Maybe."  I said.

Kara looked thoughtful. "I was looking through a list of prophecies when I saw something about a creature that destroyed because no one loved it, and when someone reached out and cared, he stopped destroying."

Man, where does she get this shit? Something is wrong with this poor girl. But she did have a point. And I did read that prophecy. And not ONCE I thought I was me. But now? Now? What side do I take? I've always thought of Kara as a ruthless creature, but isn't it I who's doing the damage? Is she right?

"everyone, take sides." Kara said. "My side is good, and Cell's is bad. Take your pick."

 Just read my mind. Thanks. But was she right? Or am I doing the right thing? And when I looked at Kara , she didn't seem so evil. She seemed kinda…………nice.  She wasn't looking at me. Thank god. Kara seemed almost………..inviting. Like she was putting off vibes to welcome me.  And I didn't know which side to pick. What did they call this again? Love at first sight? Was I really in love with the enemy I had been fighting for hundreds of human years? Is there something wrong with that? It just wasn't right.  But was it true? I did know what to do.  

"Kio?! What the hell are you doing?" Cell yelled at me. He looked (and sounded) very pissed. 

"Cell……………………..Maybe if you would understand something…….." I tried to coax. But from what I had seen from Cell, it wouldn't work.

"Are you a traitor?" Cell demanded.

"I-I-I'm staying in the middle. With Kara." I stuttered out.

"Okay then, it's decided. Gotrunks (fusion of Gohan and Trunks) and Onorait (fusion of Onoca and Karait) and 17 and 18 are good. Cell is bad. Me and Kio are in the middle." Kara said.

"Kara? You said that your side is good. But you are in the middle."

"I know. The best people are the ones that don't fight."

"God Damnit Kio, what the Fuck you doing?" Cell mumbled under his breath.

"don't worry about Cell. He deserves to die." She repeated.

"But I blew up your planet. So don't I?"

"But do you want to change?" she asked solely.

"Yes."

"then I forgive you."

"But you just said that you hated me."

She winked. "all for show. But I did want Karait to be a Seer."

"then sorry."

"Forgiven."

"Kara?" I asked.

"Hmm?"

"I…….I………I……….,"  I just couldn't say it. I just couldn't. I cant tell my enemy I'm in love with her! I just cant!

Kara winked, "I love you too, Kio."

"KIO!!!!!!" Cell screamed, knocking me out of my trance.

"WHAT?! WHAT DO YOU WANT, DAMNIT CELL?!"

"Stop loving Kara and get your blue ass over here."

I walked up to Cell, smirked and socked him in the jaw. Kara cracked up and socked him on the other side.

To Be Continued………….

Kio and Kara? Something has got to go wrong there!!! Anyway, is anyone actually going to fight and what are the side affect of an Io fusion?! Does anyone know? Why did they fuse? Find out on Cell's Return 12!!
