DBZ:THE ZONE SAGA
CH.4 CONFRONTATION WITH FATE

*On the last episode of Dragonball Z, the Z Gang flew to Almond Town to investigate the strange attacks on the female population. While there, Android #17 gave everyone a big insight on what was like to be absorbed by Cell. Meanwhile, lurking in the shadows was Zone, preparing to absorb the wives of the two sayians and the artifical wife to that monk Krillan and sister to #17. Once she reaches her final form, Zone will be able to proceed with her diobolical plan.*

Zone rapidly runs through the streets on her way to Capsule Corp to become complete. Since the Z Warriors probably might locate her ki and find her, she decided that traveling to the building by her fast feet would help her remain undetected. Zone smirked. "Soon, I will be complete and this world will belong to my brilliant creator Dr.Gero.""I just need to get there undetected and without those foolish Z Warriors noticing."With that, she ran more quickly, to claim her full power.


(Meanwhile)
"Say Goku, what shall we do to protect the girls since that creature is nowhere to be found right now and we can't sense her damn ki?!!!!" "Calm down Krillan. I'm not really sure. This creature is bound to show its face sooner or later. I say the best thing to do is head to Capsule Corp and be with our wives." As they were flying, #17 seemed to notice something that everybody else didn't. He looked down at the scenery and seemed to be searching for whatever he was looking for. "Hey tin can, what the hell are you doing?!" "Shut up Vegeta!" #17 turned his attention from Vegeta back to his searching.*My scanners are picking up something. Something powerful, but its ki is low. This maybe the creature that was terrorizing the women of Almond Town and is after my sister. I must check this out.* "#17, whats wrong?" "Nothing Yamcha. Listen, you guys go ahead. I'll be there later." "Oh ok. C-ya #17". The Z gang took off with #17 taking off in search of this mysterious creature.


(At Capsule Corp)
"Hey #18, do you think the guys are alright? Maybe they need our help." #18 turned around from the window and looked at both Bulma and Chi-Chi. "Yes they are fine Bulma, but I am worried about us right now.Somehow I feel this unknown being that has been causing chaos is after me and you two as well." "What makes you say that? Why would this thing be after us #18?" #18 looked into there faces with dead fear, the same fear when Cell, in his 2nd form, stalked her, laughing evily as his big tipped tail opened up like an umbrella to absorb her. "I...I don't know. When the guys get here, we must all leave at once". The three agreed, sighed, and stayed by the window waiting for the Z Warriors to arrive.


(Elsewhere)
"HAHAHAHA!"Almost there and then I will reach my final form". Zon laughed. Suddenly, her laughing stopped when a kick from out of no wher knocked her to the ground. "Grrrrrr... What the hell was...." She looked straight ahead to find #17 with his arms crossed staring at her. "Oh, its you #17. I should have known you would use your built in scanner to find me," Zone said as she got up. "That's right android! Now, tell me who you are! Why are you here and attacking innocent women and especially coming after my sister!" Zone just smirked. "So you really wanna know, eh pretty boy? Well, I will tell you. My number is #22 but I am more commonly known by my code name, Zone. I am another great product by Dr. Gero. Here is my little story. After Dr.Gero put the little Cell into his test tube to grow and mature into his 1st form. he began working on me. You see, Dr. Gero wanted to create the most powerful male and female warriors to help crush Goku. As it goes, you along with #18 destroyed Gero and went off in what you were originally set to do, kill Goku. However, Gero's main computer was quickly putting me together in his nearby mansion and the future Cell came and abosorbed you two backstabbers to become finished. However, Cell was killed by Goku's brat and newly transformed SSJ2 Gohan the exact same time as I was finished and I crawled out in my larva form as I listened to a recording. The good doctor,however, could somehow see the partial future as a result of an earlier experimental accident and left me with a recorded message. He told me that I was to absorb your sister #18, Goku's loudmouth wife Chi-Chi, and the highly intelligent wife of tha arrogent asshole, the so-called mighty Prince Vegeta. Once I become complete, I will ressurrect Dr. Gero, and my late brother and rule this world!" #17 had a dark feeling as to who her brother was.He was not going to allow this monstrosity created by that old bastard Gero to wish him back and take over this universe. "I think I know who your "brother" is, but just to confirm my theory, what is his name?" Zone chuckled evily. "It is Cell". *ell. That overgrown locust was her brother.*#17 was even more pissed. He certainly won't let that freakish and overpower android who took his and #18's life be brought to life. "No! That won't happen! I will stop you Zone from accomplishing your mission. I will protect my sister and my friends and this world from being overcome by the likes of you, that old fossil Dr. Gero, and most definitley Cell!" #17 took a figthing stance. "Ha! Foolish android. You or the other Z Warriors wont stop me from carrying out my mission. I will attend to my three guests in a bit,but first I shall take care of you. I won't kill you yet, #17. I will beat you and make you bow before your creator, Dr. Gero." With that, Zone smirked and also took a fighting stance.

To Be Continued

*In the next chapter, #17 and Zone begin an all-out assult. Who will win?*
