Fifth Chapter- The Problem
18's POV
The Problem
I knew it. The humans were destined to be destroyed. I mean why would they live underground if something wasn't up there killing them? Trunks thought that he had saved those worthless creatures but he failed. I guess its just their destiny to be wiped out. It's actually kind of funny. Trunks finally stops me and 17, only to find out that in the distant future the humans are under attack again. How ironic.
"18, I think your lover is falling for another!" 17 laughed and I swung at him only to be stopped by Trunks. He stared 17 down and then released me.
Before he could say anything I gave him what he deserved right across his face. He hadn't even seen it coming. That was the best part of it. He flared to his 'Super-Saiyan' mode and then back to normal. He wanted to strike back but his foolish sentiment got in the way.
"Listen I said I was sorry, it was truly an accident. If I had known I wouldn't have even bothered you." 17 then laughs even harder as the human named Angel returned. She reminded me of someone, but I couldn't place her facial features. She was attractive, 17 kept on about how she would steal the Saiyan from me. Like I cared. Nevertheless, 17 continued on taunting me and I decided to ignore him. His laughter almost made me lose it but I decided that if I ignored him maybe he'd stop.
"What's so funny?" She asked and 17 smirked.
"Nothing really, those two are just having relationship problems." 17 laughed and I grabbed him. Trunks stopped me but I tried to swing at him but he again stopped me. Angel laughed a little.
"Seeing how fast she is I doubt you are ordinary humans." Angel said cheerfully as she sat down and motioned for the three of us to sit as well. We explained our true origin and what we were and this didn't surprise her, which was strange to me.
"Angel why are you guys living underground?" Trunks asks as 17 looks at me and then to Trunks and then back to me smirking. I wanted to blast him but Trunks's reaction to something Angel had told him stopped me.
"Angel are you serious?" Trunks asked and Angel nodded sadly.
"Yes, that is why we live under ground. Many of the humans have been made into cyborgs so that they may have a chance to fight him." Angel sighed and then stood up. Humans being made into cyborgs like 17 and myself? What could have made these humans that desperate? Angel continued right on with her story as Trunks continued listening, his eyes full of sympathy.
"Even when I was born I was transformed into a cyborg at a very young age. I am one of the strongest warriors on the planet but I can't defeat him." Angel sighed and Trunks growled.
I was getting really tired of their attitudes. Trunks and this Angel girl were frowning for no real reason and I was getting very annoyed with the display.
"How about you fill the two of us in?" I asked. He shook his head and sighed.
"Have you two ever heard of Cell?" He asked and 17 and I looked at one another. We laughed as we remember the project Gero called 'Cell'. This 'Cell' creature was only about the size of my hand. The appearance of it was enough to tell you that this thing was just a joke. But Gero's designs said that this creature was superior to the both of us. I highly doubt that.
Trunks on the other hand wasn't too happy about me and 17's outburst. He actually had a serious look on his face. He turned to Angel and then they conversed a little more and Trunks became even more tense. Something wasn't right.
"Hey, Trunks, I haven't seen you so tense since the last time me and 17 nearly killed you." I smirked and Trunks turned and looked at me. His expression still stayed the same though.
"Listen I don't know why Cell is a joke to you but when I used the time machine to go to the past, he was much stronger than me and succeeded in killing me. Luckily, I'm much, much, more powerful than before. Listen you two, Cell has all of your strengths and all of mine. He's made of all of the greatest warriors in the universe! He can regenerate his limbs easily. It took the power of an Ascended Saiyan to beat him, and even then it was close." Trunks was actually serious could that little creature be that powerful? Trunks is much stronger than me and 17 and yet he is nervous about that little shrimp called Cell.
"Well, if he's so powerful and so great how come he hasn't wiped this planet out yet?" 17 asked and Trunks shook his head.
"He may still be looking for the two of you." Trunks answered. 17 and I were puzzled.
"So this creature needs us to become powerful?" 17 started with a grin but Trunks stopped him.
"Cell absorbed the both of you to become perfect. In the past the only one that survived was 18. 17 you were never seen again. Once inside of Cell you have no more power over your decisions. You belong to him. Gero had created the both of you as components for bettering Cell. As if he was a car and the two of you were parts to enhance the car's perfomance. I can't let him get a hold of you or else all is lost." Trunks looked at the both of us and 17 began to laugh.
"Trunks, please. We've seen Cell he's just a little...."
"No, he grows just as humans do. It takes twenty years." Trunks interrupted
"Well what happened to the Cell in our time?" I asked
"I killed him, I knew he was not capable of changing like the two of you were." Trunks sighed and Angel comforted him.
"If what you say is true then Cell has already reached his perfect form. From your description of his first forms.... I'm pretty sure he has changed" Angel described the new Cell's body shape and Trunks gasped. I formed a mental picture of her descriptions and decided that Cell was mostly humanoid shaped.
"He must have absorbed the androids of this time." Trunks shook his head and growled.
"That must mean he's become stronger. It's may have been many years since he absorbed them." Trunks groaned and yelled. 17 looked at me and then back to Trunks and spoke.
"Well, Saiyan what are you going to do? If he's stronger than you what can you do?" 17 asked. I was getting tired of all of this. This creature called Cell couldn't be stronger than me or 17 let alone Trunks, but still what if the Saiyen isn't lying?
Next Chap- Enemy. Sorry there wasn't any action but next chapter, I promise there will be some. And for those in favor of Trunks and 18, be patient, it's coming up too.....Read and review!
