"Where are we going?" enquired Trunks. As they walked along the cave pitch-black cave tunnel, the only source of light was the one in Videl's hands as she guided him through the darkness.
She had opened a cave entrance in the side of the crevice where she had jumped him from behind. Apparently he had stumbled into one of the last remaining resistance bases on the planet. It was almost 5 miles underground, too deep for any being to sense the human energies. Who ever had built this tunnel was very intelligent because it had so many side tunnels that you could easily get lost. These people had been strong enough to hide from Cell for this long.
'Why was I not here' thought Trunks. 'Why did I come so far into the future, my chronometer on my ship said I had travelled 15 years and that should have put me back 2 years earlier?" He shuffled along with his head looking a little downward in a sad state. He missed his mother.
'Where are you mom, why are you not here for me? I did this all for you and now you are gone,' moped Trunks to himself. She had trusted him and he had failed her, now she was in the hands of those abominations and that demented Cell.
"Are you okay?" enquired a curious Videl? Trunks had not noticed that she had stopped and was looking at him.
"Huh," stammered Trunks, as he stopped and looked at her. "What?"
"I said are you okay?" repeated Videl, she shined the bright flashlight in his face. "You look like you lost your best friend."
Trunks lowered his head. "I just found out that those androids got my mom, that is why they were chasing me, because I went looking for her."
"Oh, I am sorry," said Videl, she looked at Trunks with a great sadness in her eyes. "Tell me," she said trying to change the subject. "Where did you come from, you just appeared out of nowhere."
"Um, it's a long story," replied Trunks.
"Don't worry we got a bit of a way to go, so it will help pass the time, plus I want to get to know a bit more about you before we get to our base," replied Videl as she winked and smiled at Trunks.
Trunks face deeply reddened, but it was hidden the darkness as Videl had turned the flashlight away from him. "Well," stammered Trunks. "Where do I begin?"
"The beginning would be the best place to start," replied Videl sarcastically. They both laughed and then Trunks began to regale her with the whole story. The story of Goku, his master Gohan, his mother Bulma, his father Vegita, the saiyans, the androids, the battles, Cell, and the time warp.
Thousands of miles from the base, deep in the sub arctic freeze of the North Pole, stood a Citadel. Constructed of reinforced Titanium, in a rectangular shape, with no visible entrance, except for a landing pad on the north face of the tower about 500 feet up.
Hundreds of beings could be seen flying in and out of this citadel. Androids were what these beings were, out collecting whatever they could for their master. Further inside stood a dome shaped room. With a marble rock floor and torches burning all around them.
At the centre of this room stood the tall, winged, green skinned, evil Cell. He was standing their cross-armed at the news he was hearing from the badly damaged 83 who had just returned from his battle with Trunks.
"So he wiped your whole squad out with that much ease," asked Cell? He was bearing down at the nervous android. 83 had a right to be nervous, for Cell was never pleased whenever someone failed him.
"Y-Yes sir," replied 83. His arm was still missing and he was dripping blood all over the floor. His boyish innocent face covered his true face, a boy that was disguised as a monster.
"A golden haired warrior, this means a Super Saiyan has emerged. How unexpected, this could put a whole kink in my plans for the domination of the galaxy," replied Cell. He cupped his hand around his jaw and stood there thinking for a moment. "And you said that he had a sword, a blue capsule corp. jacket, and purple hair before he changed. Interesting so the time wandering saiyan has returned to home to find the roost deserted."
He looked up towards and area at the opposite side of the dome. "What do you think my dear number 22," said a suave sounding Cell. A shadow of a female stood where he was looking, she had been there the whole time observing the discussion.
"I think it might be time to tryout my new toys," replied the female.
"Then do as you wish my dear, just make sure they do the job. I will see you at dinner," replied Cell, with that the female faded back deeper into the blackness and disappeared.
"Now as for you 83," said Cell as he turned his attention to the young boy. "What should I do with you?"
"Oh please, master Cell," cried 83. "Just give me another chance. I won't fail you again."
Cell thought it over for a second.
"Okay then," said Cell. He opened his hand and with a burst of light a piece of paper appeared in his hand. "You are now in charge of tracking this man down. You have 2 days to find him or I will find you. And I don't want to find you got me."
83 stood up straight at attention. "Yes sir," he replied then blasted off into the air.
"Oh and 83," said Cell. 83 stopped in mid air and turned to him. "Get your arm repaired first in maintenance."
"Oh yeah," stammered a stunned 83. He then blasted off towards the maintenance bay.
"What a fool," said Cell. "But fools sometimes have their uses." He let out a roaring laugh. "Finally a warrior for me to fight that may give me a challenge. Ah Trunks welcome home. If you are stronger then when my two babies fought you years ago, I am in for a real good battle. Oh this is an exciting feeling."
Videl stood jaw dropped at Trunks. "You," she managed to stammer. "You travelled through time to the past and battled Cell there and won."
"I didn't beat Cell," said Trunks. "I battled him but he beat me. My master beat him with help from my father and some of his friends." He was blushing quite heavily at the very beautiful Videl. "I went back and warned them about the coming of the androids and they were ready to fight him. Now that the timelines are split and the androids remained in this timeline and I am now trapped here."
"Wow, you must tell our leader this," said Videl.
"Your leader?" replied Trunks.
"Yeah our strongest warrior, the only one able to beat my dad in a test of strength for leadership of the resistance," replied Videl. "He has kept us alive for all this time and he is able to fight the androids."
"I wonder who he is?" asked Trunks.
"No one knows who he is or where he came from, he won't tell us. But he has been helping to save the earth from these androids," replied Videl.
"I can't wait to meet him," said Trunks. They kept walking until they came to a wall in the cave.
"Wait here a moment," said Videl. She went up to the door and pressed a rock slightly as it examined her palm print. A rock face opened and they both stepped in.
Inside was like a small city. Hundreds of people walked along in a ghetto like streets. Wooden shacks and cottages lined the street as people huddled around fires, as it was very cold this deep underground. The cavern had to be three hundred feet high with lights strung out across the center lighting the whole town.
"Wow," said Trunks. "How many people are here, how do you power this place, what is the food supply, where is your base of operations, how long have you been here?" They walked along the streets as the people eyed the newcomer. They all looked very nervously at him, for he looked out of place with his nice clothes and sword. He felt so sorry for these people that they had to suffer this much because of an insane doctor.
"This city is called Safe Haven, a city for all survivors of the mass attacks, the city has 2,376 people in it, we have a geo-thermal power source, we have been here for a year and a half, and the base is a the center of town as we are now there," replied Videl. There stood before them was a giant bunker, made of steel and concrete. No match, thought Trunks, to Cell's power. They walked passed the guards who eyed Trunks but were told to stand down by Videl.
Inside the base was a central command base with radar screens, energy monitors. Off to the right side was a weapons development center where he could see many scientists working on weapons to fight Cell and the androids. Videl led him down a flight of stairs and off to the left side to what looked like an office area. Two guards stood with mean looking rifles that Trunks had not seen before. "I have a visitor for the leader," said Videl.
"Sorry Commander Videl," said one of the guards. "The leader has no visitors that is the rule, and you know that."
"I know but this is a very important person, his name is Trunks and he could be of great use to us," replied Videl. "He has battled the androids and won."
"Impressive," said the guard. "But rules are rules and you can't see the leader he has to request to see you."
"Forget it," said Trunks. "Let's go Videl I will meet this leader later."
"But..ah your right Trunks," said Videl.
"What is all the commotion out here," said a voice of a figure that appeared at the entrance. A voice that stopped Trunks dead in his step, he turned around and looked at the figure standing before him.
"I am trying to get work done and.," the figure complained until he spotted Trunks. "You," he shouted, and pointed a finger at Trunks. "Its you. But that's impossible you are suppose to be dead."
Trunks just stood stunned at the person standing before him. How the hell was he the leader of the resistance against the androids? "Yeah," replied Trunks. " And so should you."
A/N - OOOOooooohhhhh its exciting. Who is the leader and who was that female in the shadows at Cell's. Review me and give me your possible answers and lets see who is the more perceptive people out there.
