*Previously on DBZ, Zone, fully complete, captured the dragonballs and used them to revive the sinister Dr. Gero and her demonic brother Cell. Also, Goku's condition has been somewhat stabilized although critcal. What will happen now that Gero and his super powered android creations are united and ready to conquer the planet?*

DBZ: The Zone Saga

Ch. 19 Planning and Conquering

Dr. Gero was quite pleased that his latest beautiful creation, Zone, was able to complete her task and revive himself and her brother. Dr.Gero: "My dear Zone you have succeeded greatly just as I knew you would. Now it is time for the three of us to get down to business. Revenge."

Cell smirked too. Cell: "Yes, dear sister, you have done very well for yourself. Tell us, who out of those foolish fighters is left standing? I do hope its that brat of Goku. I won't just kill the little bastard. I'll torture him till he begs for death's release."

Zone herself grinned devilishly. Zone: "Of course, my wonderful brother. The boy is still alive, just waiting to be slaughtered. As is Goku, although at the moment he is struggling for survival. That fool Piccolo is dead, crushed by my power and skill. Trunks, Krillan, Tien, and Yamcha are still alive although not for much longer. And Dr.Gero I will say that bothersome creation Android 17 is still breathing."

Dr.Gero snarled at the mention of 17. He couldn't wait to destroy him piece by piece. "Yes, but not for long. Since Goku is out of the way temporarily, Gohan, Vegeta, and 17 will be are main objectives since the humans are no match for us. Zone you still have one more wish left with the dragon correct?" Zone nodded. Dr.Gero: "Good".

Dr.Gero turned to the eternal dragon hovering in the sky. Shenlong: "Speak now on your last wish or else I will depart." Dr.Gero : "Yes of course. We can't let a golden opportunity at revenge go to waste. Dragon, I wish for my lab to be fully restored!" Shenlong: "As you wish!." Shenlong's eyes began to grow red for a moment then stopped.

Dr.Gero turned to his two top androids. Dr.Gero: "My wonderful creations. In order to destroy our enemies we need to attack their hearts. In order to lure Vegeta, Gohan, and 17 into our clutches, we must find a way to bring them to their very knees."

Zone: "Well, doctor, I do know that 17 has a little baby niece out their. I'm sure he would do anything to protect what is left of his family! Ha!" Dr.Gero smirked. Dr.Gero: "Yes, that will surely bring my worst creation down a notch. He was always too cocky for his own good. Zone, I want you to retrieve his little niece and bring her to my lab. As for Vegeta, well, I think his most obvious weak point beside his ego is Trunks. Fetch him too while you can."

Cell frowned. Cell: "And Gohan? His stupid father is protected right now so there's not much time to use him as bait." Dr.Gero: "My dear Cell, I see your point. But as I can partially see the future, I happen to know there's another person in the brat's life. A young girl he goes to school with. Her name is Videl Satan." Cell looked surprised. Cell: "Isn't that the daughter of that idiot human who tried to take me on at the Cell Games?" Dr.Gero: "Yes, although she is much more intelligent than that fool. She, Trunks, and little Marron will be excellent pawns for our revenge." Cell smirked as did Zone. The Z Warriors wouldn't expect what they had in store for them

(Meanwhile)

Dr. Briefs entered the room with a sample of the toxin that was injected into Goku. He needed to study it more so he could work on a cure. Dr.Briefs: "I just hope I figure this stuff out in time." Suddenly the door opened and Gohan stepped in. Gohan: "Any luck doctor?" Dr.Briefs: "Well Gohan, I'm still working as hard as I can to analyze the poison Zone stuck into Goku. Hopefully, I will be able to and then I will get straight to work on the cure. I promise. He is one of the many great fighters who will aid in saving my daughter and her friends." Gohan nodded. Gohan : "Don't worry. We will destroy Zone, Gero, and ..grrrrr... Cell for good and we will get Bulma, 18 and my mom back." Gohan: *Mother, I will get you back. Father, get well soon. We need you.*
