Cyborg Protectors Ch. 6 A Meeting With Cell
Piccolo stood his ground against this powerful creature that stood before him, extremely wary of what it might do. What is this thing? Why I can I sense Goku's, Vegeta's, and even Frieza's powerlevel in him?* "Who are you?!" The creature chuckled. "Silly Piccolo, my secrets won't be unlocked so easily!" Once again Piccolo was stunned. *How does he know my name? * As he comtemplated this strange development, the man in the creature's grasp started begging for help. "Please! Help me! I'll give you anything you want! Just help me!" Suddenly the creature let go of the man. The man tried to crawl away when with a quick moment, the creature's tail struck him and pierced his back. The creature then began to suck up the man's life force. Piccolo stood in complete horror as he witnessed the man practically melt away. "You monster!" The creature laughed. "Now that I have taken care of that nuisance, I shall deal with you." "I don't think so, who and whatever you are, I'm gonna stop you." With that Piccolo powered up to an amazing level, due to his fusion with Kami. The creature didn't seemed phased. Piccolo charged at the monster and the fight was on.

Meanwhile

Androids 16,17, and 18 managed to steal a van and where on there way to kill Goku. 17 did the driving, of course. "Finally, we can have some fun. That android 11 was beginning to piss me off!" 18 turned to her brother. "But 17, what if 11 was telling the truth? I mean, this Cell creature may actually be an even bigger threat than Goku." 17 scoffed. "I doubt it 18. I mean no one is as strong as I. You don't have to be afraid. Whatever happens, I'll take care of it and prove I am the dominate fighter in the universe." 18 shook her head in disgust. Maybe 17 is right. Maybe we can handle Cell. Suddenly, 18 noticed a clothing store nearby. "17, stop the van." 17 rolled his eyes. "Oh no. She's going shopping. She takes forever. I hate it." 17 pulled over and 18 went to collect some new clothes.

Elsewhere

10 and 11 flew as fast as they could, searching for 17 and 18. 11 was seething at 17's lack of concern and foolish arrogance. "17 is too damn cocky for his own good. Why can't he realize what kind of threat Cell actually is?" 10 shook her head. "I'm not sure either brother, but I think 18 somewhat kind of understands the situation. And 16, well, he's just a statue so I don't know how we can talk to him." The debate went on, when suddenly their scanners kicked in, detecting a fierce battle from the north. "Do you sense those powerlevels 11?" "Yeah, it seems Cell is on the prowl. I don't know who he's fighting thought, I think I may check it out." "Ok, but be careful 11, I'll try and catch up with the other androids." 11 nodded and they both split up.

Back at the battle scene Piccolo was trapped in mid air, being restrained by the creature who he soon learned was named Cell. "Hahaha! Soon you will become apart of me, huh?" Cell looked down at fleets of army tanks rushing in to destroy him. "Fools! Can't they see I'm busy?!" The commander shouted for his men to fire at the monster with all they had. When the shooting stopped after a minuite, it appeared to the soldiers that they had won. Unfortunately, they were wrong as Cell reappeared and blasted them all with several blasts. "Well now, where were we? Oh yes, I was about to kill you."

Cell struck his tail into Piccolo's right arm. Piccolo screamed as his arm was melting away, into Cell's being. Ugh! I've had enough of this! Piccolo rammed his left elbow into Cell's gut which made him release him. Piccolo grasped what was left of his arm. Cell landed a few feet away. What a power! What kind of creature anyway? Cell calmly started approaching Piccolo with an evil smirk on his face. "Time to finish you off! I have other places to be and business to attend to.." Suddenly, Cell was knocked to the ground by a boot to the face. Piccolo looked up. "Huh?"

Cell growled and turned around and looked a little shocked. "Android 17?" Piccolo's savior stood firmly. "Yes and no. Yes, I am an android, no I'm not 17." "Another android?" "That's correct Cell, my name or number rather is 11."
