One
thing that I forgot to mention at the beginning of Test Project is that this
fic takes place WAY after the Z-Senshi are dead. Cell was cloned from the blood
that he left behind when he was fighting. Cell has also just decided to
tolerate the humans, that's why Earth is still there.
There's
your explanation of the time. That should make more sense now.
Chapter 5
Gemma and Cell flew to where Akira was. She seemed to be a bit absorbed in something she was holding. He decided to ask later and went to train with Cell. They trained for three days nonstop. Gemma didn't want pity from Cell just because he's his son. After the three days Gemma collapsed onto the ground, completely exhausted. He decided to see what Akira was so absorbed in a few days earlier.
He
looked for her, but she couldn't be found anywhere. Cell seemed to know where
she was, but he would tell him. He just kept telling him to feel for her with
his mind. Gemma didn't take Cell's advice and searched for Akira with just his
eyes.
Gemma
came back to the spot where Cell was a couple of days later, feeling depressed.
He didn't find Akira at all. He was worried about her. He decided to watch Cell
as he just stood there all day long.
"I
told you, you wouldn't find her unless you sought for her with your mind,"
Gemma just waved him off, "Gemma you are her son, you have a connection with
her. Try to find it. If not then feel for her power," Gemma tried for a few
hours, but was unsuccessful. He looked at Cell skeptically, "You'll learn it
eventually. Just keep trying."
"I
don't see how you can be so calm. What if she's in danger? Maybe she was
captured?" He started to panic.
"Relax.
I know exactly where she is, and she's in no danger whatsoever," He went back
to his meditating.
"I
hope your right. I don't want to find out that she's dead right after I had
just figured out that she's my mother," he went back to trying to find Akira
mentally.
"Maybe
if you have some patience you'll find that she always comes back. And don't
think I'm assuming," noticing the look on Gemma's face, "She did this exact
same thing right after you were born."
A
few days later, more like a week later. Akira came back. Saying Gemma was
enthusiastic about it would be an under statement. He almost literally bowled
her over with his excitement that she was okay. He made so much noise that he
almost missed hearing the little giggle come from within her arms. He looked
down and noticed something that he never thought he would ever see.
"Meet
your baby brother, Gemma. His name is Akuma," she said to him. He nearly fell
over with shock. Cell just grinned at his son's reaction. He flew down to where
they were and took the child from his mother's grasp. Akira and Cell both
laughed when Gemma finally did faint. "I guess this means he's happy," she
looked at Cell who just shrugged.
A
couple of hours later and several more faints also. Gemma finally held his
little brother who just gurgled and tried to grasp Gemma's mouth. The first
time he was able to, but Gemma didn't like the little child's hand in his
mouth. He looked around and noticed that Cell and Akira weren't there. 'Where
did they go?' He flew up and saw them on top of the plateau, enjoying each
other's presence. He flew back down to let them have some peace.
