Okay, as you all well know, this is not mine, I own only the characters that are NOT DBZ and the idea that Trunks might actually look happy. (psag!) Thank you for reading, don't flame me, or, in the immortal words of the Grinch, "I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN AND GUT YOU LIKE A FISH!!"

{{heh heh.fish}}

Silence! (ahem) Right! Continuing on.oh, and sorry about how short this chapter is. A few are really short, and a few are...quite the opposite.





The Return of the He/She

A shadowy figure stood in the center of an immaculate lab, gazing at the large tank before it. Inside, surrounded by a green cryogenic liquid, was a creature. It resembled a human except for the green and gray chitinous exterior. It was also looked upon as the scourge of the Z senshi. Or something like that.

Cell.

A technician approached the shadowy form in a bow.

"I beg your pardon, Frieza-sama, but Program Cell-1 is complete. It needs only your instructions now." He back out, still on his knees.

"Well, well, well," said Frieza to himself. "As soon as Cell immobilizes the Z team, and brings that girl to me, NOTHING will stop me from ruling the world!" He allowed his ugly face to twist into a small smile.

"Yes. It would be wonderful to kill them once and for all-and now is my chance!"

~ Back at Capsule Corp. ~

Bulma and Chichi were enjoying a juicy round of gossip over a nice green tea when they were startled out of their chairs by a loud

THUMP

followed by an equally loud

KUSO!

A moment later, Goten, Trunks, Gohan, Karli, KT, Morgan, Bra, and Phoenix barreled into the kitchen. KT held his hand over a large bloody bump on him head. When Chichi inquired what happened, he replied curtly that he didn't see the tree in the yard.

Trunks ran through the house yelling for Vegeta.

"Tousan! Tousan!"

The door to the gravity room exploded outwards.

"Nani?! I thought these gravity rooms were supposed to be sound proof!"

"Sumemasen, Otousan, but did you feel the large energy signature a moment ago? Who was that?"

Vegeta's brow furrowed.

"I hate to say it, but that feeling was familiar. I hate to say it, I almost don't wasn't to, but I think it may have been Cell, or Frieza."

"Or both," Bra muttered grimly.

"I thought they were dead?" Trunks asked.

"Ne, life's funny that way."

"Are you sure about this?" questioned Phoenix.

"I'm about as sure as possible."

Piccolo walked in, ignoring the sputtering Vegeta. ("How dare you just walk into my house! I'll eat you for breakfast, Namek!")

"I am grieved to say it, but Dende has just informed my that Freiza has released an improved Cell into Kyoto. I believe he may have a plan to steal the laptop-and whoever can control it."

Phoenix's knees buckled.

"Why-ooh, duh. Never mind."

Vegeta spoke up.

"Why don't you just use the computer to kill him off?"

"Yeah!"

*Cell does not exist.*

*Error. Cannot comply.*

"Oh, no."



There! However short it may be, it's another chapter, and that's 25 pages out of my sloppy copy. 'kay, next chapter.

*also kinda short.

*Goku is stupid again.

*Phoenix and Vegeta get in another fight.

*and in which we meet some old friends.
