Cell flew passed the forest and then the roadways. It was all so different; everything was full of bright colors and lights, even in the day time. He spotted a small strip-mall near by and decided it was a good place to start his massacre. So he dived down and landed hard on the street pavement. Take note that his confidence was high but it soon dropped completely when he looked at his surroundings. It was a circus of the weirdest creatures he had ever seen in his life! Tails, eyes, fangs, colors

never seen before, wings, animal limbs, metal gi's, and of course, humans. All of them, no matter who they were, were together and socializing. He recognized some of them as Mannan's that which were dating Namek's or the hybrid children of humans; some were humans who were friends with dragon- like creatures, and others looked like cat-people. No matter what they were, it looked like every other day at the beach! Suddenly a young girl—looked human but had blue skin and streaming white hair—bumped into him.

"Oh excuse me." She said, turning around. She eyed him from top to bottom, then smiled and winked at him before walking on. Cell, shaking whatever it was that just happened off, remembered his reason for being there and walked up to a human on a bench.

The human was a young boy with black hair wearing a grey baseball hat backwards, blue jeans, a baseball shirt; and was eating an apple. He was sitting next to three other people on the bench, all very ordinary Asian humans. Cell tapped him on the shoulder and the boy looked up. There was no emotion, no fear, but Cell inhaled and said very boldly like, "Are you this Earth's inhabitants?" The boy was silent. Suddenly people began staring at Cell and the boy shocked, stopping where they were to stare in disbelief. Cell thought he'd try again. "Because if you are, than prepare for your end boy!" A man standing at a coffee shop dropped his espresso and cell phone. A woman covered her mouth with her hands in a silent scream. Cell recognized this as their fear of him, no doubt. Suddenly the others on the bench began to look up too, but there was no shock on their faces. He raised his hand to blast the planet, but a young man screamed out from the crowd.

"DUDE! GET AWAY FROM THEM DUDE!!"

"What?—" He began, but it was too late.

Suddenly the young boy's eyes became white and he let out an ear piercing screech. Cell froze immediately as the kid exploded open into an enormous gray blob monster that was shaped like a rattle snake with razor green teeth. "What the hell is that!!??" Cell shouted. People began screaming and running all over the place. Cell threw his hand forward and shot a Kamahamaha blast, which just sunk into their skin and they slithered closer to him. He looked around in panic for something to protect himself with only in vain. Suddenly a man grabbed him by the arm.

"What the hell do you think your doing! No one EVER threatens the Killian's you fucking moron!" Cell is silent. "Jesus..." He pulled Cell, and Cell discovered that this strange man had incredible strength for a small human.

The Killian's poisonous liquid sprays downward and throws them apart, taking the man's arm with it. He fell screaming, and Cell stood dazed. Suddenly, two beams of light fell from the sky. A blonde girl with ice blue eyes and a black haired girl with emerald eyes stood on the pavement of the street infront of Cell. Orenji has an incredibly disappointed look on her face, and Ichigo looked at Cell with an expression of revulsion.

"Jackie!" Orenji called out, a strange hiss in her voice. The Killian 'boy' looked down. "Stop it Jackie! You hurt someone you idiot, and you know what that means."

"You're going to get hurt yourself—three times." Ichigo added gleefully. Orenji cocked an eyebrow.

"Alright then. Cell," He looked up at Orenji-chan like a puppy would its master. "Pay attention now. You're going to find out just who your masters are." Orenji cracked her knuckles and flexed, and Ichigo just stood there looking up at Jackie as if he were a gnat. "Alright," Orenji said with an evil grin, "Go!"

They shot up into the air, the ground cracked were they'd taken off. Jackie raised his triangular liquid head and glared up at them, emitting a blood curdling screech and bearing his poisonous fangs. Orenji smiled widely and pulled her hand back. Swarming black light began to seep out of her palm and smoke like fire. She groaned and screamed, "BLACK FIRE—RELEASE!!" She thrusted her hand forward and shot the heat at the Killian monster. This time instead of sucking it up, the black smoke consumed his snake-like body and he screamed.

Ichigo, seeing he was vulnerable, zoomed up and over his head, thrusting down her fist and spraying gray goo everywhere. Jackie hissed and reared up like a horse, taking the young Saiyan between his jaws and flicking her hard to the ground. Cell's mouth dropped and he scrambled to the side as she came flying down and broke open the street. Orenji did a back flip and high kicked the Killian, keeping him busy and away from her friend.

"Ugh…" Ichigo groaned and looked up angrily at him. "What did you do to him?!" She yelled, standing up and grabbing him by the chest plate.

"I…I…" He mumbled, but her eyes were so full of rage they numbed even him.

"You threatened them didn't you? You NEVER threaten the Killian's you idiot!" She screamed, an inch from his terrified face. "They'd kill you in an instant, and the power that you're in it would be incredibly painful! Do you understand!?!" He didn't. He was just so clueless, and he picked the wrong place to understand just how so. "Whatever." She sighed and pushed him back down against the pavement, then turned back and took off again to join the other Saiyan in battle.

There was a mass of kicking, punching, screaming, and ki blasting. Cell had never seen anything like it before in his life—there was just so much energy. And by the look on the other spectators faces it was a common practice, which brought his confusion to even greater heights.

'Who are these women?', he thought, 'Did they really bring me back? They appear stronger than me, but how could I tell? Maybe I'm just weakened from my last battle with Gohan…yeah that's it. I mean, they're just girls…right?'

BOOM!

An explosion of bright lights filled the air like an a-bomb. Sight seers screamed and ducked down from the blast, and Cell opened his eyes in just enough time to see the two Saiyan's blasting out of the fire.

"Uh!" They both landed on their backs and lay sprawled out on either side of the android, who looked at both of them and blinked. They were covered in dirt and small droplets of blood, the one called Ichigo with a black eye, and the one called Orenji who grabbed her arm, which had a bloody slash on it. Their wounds looked fatal, but they stood up and played it off with smirks on their faces as the dust cleared.

The Killian monster was a boy again. He looked the same, except with a huge hole in his chest and an irritated look on his ghostly face. Cell tensed in terror as the hole immediately swelled up and healed itself, and the boy Jackie sat back down next to the other Killian's, who looked at him as if he had a minor distraction then returned to what they were doing.

"Now you watch yourself, Jackie." Orenji cooed. "And say you're sorry to the man." Jackie looked down at the man with the severed limb, sighed, got up and picked up the arm, then walked over and reattached it. The man got up and uneasily smiled at the boy then ran away. Jackie sat back down and made a face as if she was an idiot but just picked up the apple again and began consuming the rest of it.

Orenji and Ichigo began to walk away when Orenji rubbed her arm and said, "Damn…I'm going to have to skip maybe two days of training for this."

"Me too." Ichigo smiled at her. "Damn kids today…"

"Speaking of…" Orenji stopped infront of Cell, her hands on her hips. Ichigo also stopped and crossed her arms over her chest. Cell looked at them in so much fear that they could smell it. "You're in a lot of trouble, 'kid'." She sneered.

"Can't say we didn't warn you." Said Ichigo, batting her green eyes at him. "Orenji specifically said, 'people on this planet are not afraid of you'. But did you listen? Nope."

Cell trembled, his whole body stiff and eyes wide in disbelief. "Wha…" He began. "What's…going on?…" Suddenly he just gave out, and fell back down on the pavement unconscious and in shock.

Bystanders looked at the three as if they were insane, and Orenji turned towards them with an innocent smile on her face. "Sorry!" She said sweetly. "He's new around here, y'know? Need's someone to show him the ropes. We'll just be going away now…"

She walked over to the android's body and reached around his waist, lifting him up above the ground and into her arms. Ichigo swapped the bangs out of her eyes and sighed, placing her hands on her hips. Immediately they shot like bullets into the vast blue sky, the citizens watching bewildered, some even shouting angrily.

For a whole minute neither spoke, nor looked at eachother. Ichigo was gritting her teeth and grumbling something to herself, and Orenji kept swallowing nervously. "Mad at me?" She asked.

"No!" Ichigo spat, then quickly said. "—And yes!"

"Why?" Orenji whined. "It was obvious he'd go after the townspeople. I told you—"

"Orenji." Ichigo stopped in midair and Orenji stopped too to look at her, still carrying the oblivious Cell in her grip. "Cell is from the past. He may have some idea of time travel, yes, but not into the future. To this world he is like a newborn—everything is new, bright, and different. Creatures that walk down the street surpass his power and that could scare anyone in his position. He was designed to believe he was the most powerful thing in the universe, and for a time he was, but not anymore, and his mind can't necessarily cope with that right now."

Orenji stared at her with a cocked eyebrow. "What's your point, Mai?"

Ichigo almost raised ki. "What I mean is that you, Orenji-chan, cannot treat him like some drop-out sent to military school! You can't just assume he should deal with the strength of this world no matter how strong and powerful you want to appear. He gets the point Orenji, he knows we're stronger than him! But you have to be gentle with him; or else he'll never understand. He may have been a ruthless killer, and he may just be a mere android, but goddammit Orenji he's a living creature! The first step to allegiance is always trust, and he must trust us to befriend us."

There was an awkward silence, and Orenji just looked at her dumbstruck. Ichigo-chan the philanthropist! Ya-huh.

"So," She began cautiously, "You're saying we have to be nice to him? Give him equality among us?"

"Yes." She nodded. "It couldn't be that hard for you, Orenji. You do remember that time long ago at Jeriksons Middle School, don't you?" She smiled and blushed.

Orenji grinned. "When I met you? Yeah. Those were the days weren't they? Not a care in the world…"

"Yep. You were just as much as a friend back then as you are now, except now you're use to it. Same with me. All we have to do is bring back that social acceptance that we once had and we'll be trusted in no time."

The blonde Saiyan nodded and turned Cell over to show his unconscious face. "You're going to have to strap him down and give him medical attention in your lab."

"Of course." Ichigo said.

"He's going to want a lot answered when he wakes up. We should try rehearsing our speeches."

"Yep."

Orenji shifted the android under her arm and they flew off again towards the forest.
