Cyborg Protectors
Ch.7 The Truth Of 10 and 11

Piccolo stood shocked to learn that there was yet another android to face. However, this one seemed different then the others. This must be the android Trunks and Krillan were refering to earlier. I wonder what he wants and how he got here.* Meanwhile, Cell regrouped from the sudden blow and glared at the blond cyborg. "Who do you think you are? Are you another one of Dr. Gero' s creations?" Piccolo was shocked again. Was this Cell creature another product of Dr.Gero's insane creations?

11 glared back at Cell. "Actually, me and my sister 10 were created by Gero's kind hearted sister, Dr. Ferrell. We were designed to not only prevent androids 17 and 18 from killing Goku, but we also must protect them from you. You will NOT absorb them and become the super being that Gero intended for you." Cell was stunned and then growled at him. "Fool! You think you and your sister can stop me from achieving what I was designed for? Dr.Gero gave me all I need to fufill his dream of creating the perfect warrior and I'm here to make his dream a reality! You say that Gero's sister created you? Well, I don't think she estimated that Gero would give me some quaility techniques that will help me in my quest for my perfect state. I shall deal with you, the namek, and even Goku once I've gained perfection, but until then, here's a parting gift.!" Cell leaped into the air for this special attack. "SOLAR FLARE!!!!!" With a bright flash Piccolo and 11 were blinded temporarily and when they recovered, Cell was gone.

Piccolo turned to 11. "Alright, Android. What's going on? I want answers!." Before 11 could explain, Trunks, Krillen, Vegeta, and Tien showed up. Vegeta walked up to Piccolo and growled. "Alright Namek! I demand to know what the hell is going on here!" Piccolo snorted. "Ask him, Vegeta." Vegeta turned to the android. "You! You're the android who interrupted my fight with the other tin cans! I want answers! And I want them now." 11 turned and faced the group. "Alright, alright I will tell you. My name or number is 11. I am android created by Dr.Gero's sister Dr.Ferrell along with my twin, 10. As I told Cell Piccolo, 10 an I am here to correct the wrongs of Dr.Ferrell's evil brother and guide 17 and 18 to the right path." Vegeta growled. "Enough of that! I want to know what the hell that creature was that the fool namek was fighting!" Trunks sighed. "Dad!" Vegeta's son turned to 11. "Well 11, I didn't think it was possible that an artifical human could actually be something other than destructive menaces." 11 nodded. "It is true, androids have gotten a bad rap due to that old bastard Gero and his vile creations, but 10 and I want to change that. As for your demand, Vegeta, that creature is ten times worse the any other android you and the other Z fighters have faced. Cell is a being made up of cells from the greatest fighters in the universe. From the earthlings and nameks to the Sayians and Frieza himself, Cell is the ultimate super power. Of course his true power will come once he obtains and absorbs androids 17 and 18. Then he will truly be unstoppable." Everyone was shocked at the information 11 gave and knew that this Cell must be stopped. Vegeta didn't look phased at all. "Why stop Cell from absorbing 17 and 18? I say he should become perfect. Kill two birds with one stone. However, I shall be the one to kill him. Being a super sayian isn't satisfying enough for me. I shall ascend past a super sayin, another level. I won't rest untill I am the strongest being in the universe! It's what I was destined for!" Krillan looked skeptical as did the others. "Stronger than a super sayian? Is that even possible?" Trunks , however, agreed with his father. "Yes. I never even thought about the possiblities. Being stronger then a super sayian will definitley work to our advantage. 11, would you like to join us in the fight with Cell?" 11 nodded. "Of course! Cell is far too much of a threat to us all if ignored. Right now, I must leave and check on my sister." With that, everyone went their separate ways, now focused on the new threat that lies ahead.

(Meanwhile)

17 was still in the van with 16 waiting on his sister to come out with a truck load of outfits. "This is so boring! Really, how long does it take to pick out a couple of outfits?""Suddenly 18 appeared and was wearing what had to be the most ridiculous outfit shes bought yet. She looked like a cowgirl. "Going country, 18?" "Shut up! Those hicks had absolutly nothing wearable! 17, lets go to a store that actually has some decent attire. 17 rolled his eyes. "As you wish, huh?" 17 looked to see android 10 arrived in front of them. He looked her up and down and noticed her beautiful, slim figure. *Snap out if it 17! This is not the time for this sort of display.* "What are you doing here?" 10 frowned. "I've decided to join you. Is that alright?" "Whatever. Hop in."

10 jumped in the back with 16 and they drove off. 18 turned to 10. "So, 10 where's your brother?" "He went to check something out. I'm sure he'll join up with us." 17 rolled his eyes. "Great! Another wrench in our plans!" 10 glared at 17. 17 sighed. "Oh well. So 10, just out of boredom and slight curiousity, how did you two become androids?" 10 looked up. Did she want to talk about their past with them? Would he and 18 laugh? She debated for awhile and then decided she would. "Well, 11 and I were only children when it happened. When we became androids, it was actually a choice, a matter of life and death. We were diagnosed with cancer. Both of us. Our mother and father took good care of us and we lived a seemingly happy life. We lived in New Cashew Town, thirty miles near Ginger Town. We didn't let our conditions stop us from leading our lives." 10's face went grim at the next part.

"However, mother and father were confronted by members of the Red Ribbon Army and their head scientist, the very man you killed, Dr.Gero." At this, 17 and 18's eyes widened. "You see, Dr. Gero was in the market for test subjects, preferably twins. When he heard about us and our condition, he devised a plan to obtain us and perhaps make us what you two are right now. When our parents refused, Gero grew enraged and ordered the men to kill them and take us. Father sent us and our mother to safety, but he was eventually killed." 10 tried to compose herself at the horrible memories. "We went to an abandond home, in the outskirts of Almond Town. We lived there for several years until our conditions began to deteriorate. At this point , mother became hysterical until she came up with a plan that could save us. She managed to gain a job at a research facility and led us to the laboratory. It was there she turned us into androids. She saved us. Afterwards, she explained all that had happened to us." 17 and 18 were shocked. 18 looked at the solemn face of 10. "So, Dr. Ferrell is really..?" 10 nodded. "Yes, Dr.Ferrell is really are biological mother."
