Chapter Two: Threatened Past

The Eternal Dragon Shenron hovered in the air. His magnificent body swirled around in the clouds.

"It is done." he stated.

"You idiot!" Vegeta shouted. "Now look what you did!"

"I-I didn't mean to!" Krillin stammered. "It just came out."

"FOOL!" Vegeta screamed. "Now the great threat is back!"

"What's going on?" Goku asked, joining the fighters up on Kami's Lookout.

"You stupid friend here, wasted a wish on Cell!" Vegeta screamed.

"What do you mean?" Goku asked, surprised.

"I mean, the little shorty wished Cell back!"

"I didn't mean to, I just said 'maybe we could wish Cell back for fun,' and Shenron took it as a wish!" Krillin replied.

"We've got to get to the place Cell is." Goku said. In an instant, he used his instant transmission to teleport him and the fighters to an open landscape. There, in the middle of the field, was Cell, looking more perfect than ever.

"We've beaten him before, haven't we?" Goku asked. "We can do it again."

"Goku." Cell grinned. "Hello. Isn't it great to be back?"

"Don't do anything Cell. We've beaten you before, and we can do it again." Goku replied. He flew down to Cell's position and exploded into Super Saiyan two. Cell grinned.

"You seem to forget that I am the ultimate creation" Cell smiled. "You won't defeat me this time." the tip of his tail between his wings opened up to spit out seven little Cell Juniors.

"We can take them." Vegeta said, turning Super Saiyan. "Just take out Cell Kakarot." Gohan, Trunks, and Goten all transformed into their Super Saiyan modes and joined Vegeta. Piccolo and Krillin stood behind.

Suddenly, a strong wind brewed on the fighting field. Dust was thrown around as everyone turned to see what was happening.

"What is going on?" Cell asked, shielding his eyes from dirt. Then, in mid-air, and flash of green light emitted, and a yellow machine appeared.

"I know that thing!" Goku said, taking a closer look at the mysterious entry. The hatch on top of the machine hissed open, and a boy no older than seventeen jumped out.

"He looks familiar…" Vegeta said, moving forward.

"Is that… Trunks?" Krillin asked.

"Krillin was close, he's wearing the same clothes Trunks did," Goku thought. "but this boy is different, he has black hair…"

"Cell." the boy growled. "I know all about you."

"W-what?" Cell stammered. He stepped back. "How do you know me?"

"Easy. My brother told me all about you." the boy replied. "I won't let you go any farther than where you are now." the boy shouted. A blue aura appeared around him, and his hair turned a dark-purplish color. He leaped forward, and fired an energy ball at one of the Cell Juniors. The little creature was destroyed instantly.

"What?" Vegeta asked. "Who is this?"

The boy then drew out a long blade from his back and sliced the second Cell Junior's head off. In less than twenty seconds, the boy had stabbed, sliced and cut every Cell Junior around them.

"That sword…" Piccolo said. "it belonged to…"

"Trunks." Gohan whispered.

"What's going on?" Trunks and Goten asked.

"Years ago, you came from the future, to warn us of the Androids." Gohan explained. "The sword this boy carries belongs to your future self."

The boy discarded the sword and turned to face Cell himself.

"So, think you're the perfect creation?" he growled. "I'll show you that you're a failure!" the boy sped forward, and booted Cell right up the ally. Cell screamed in pain.

"Burning Kamehameha!" a fiery blast of the same Kamehameha wave exploded from the boy's hands and hit Cell, and slowly, he disintegrated into nothingness.

"He… destroyed Cell… just like that…" Vegeta stammered.

"What power…" Piccolo said. "Where does is come from?" the boy powered down and walked over to Goku.

"Who are you?" Goku asked.

"My name is Kao. I'm from the future."

"Kao?" Vegeta asked.

"Yes…"

"The future? You mean the future Trunks came from?" Vegeta asked.

"Trunks? You know my brother?" Kao asked.

"Brother!" Vegeta spat. "BROTHER!"

"You must be Vegeta, Trunk's father." Kao said. "Yes, Trunks found me as a baby, and cared for me until this day."

"So… he adopted you as a child?" Vegeta asked. "And… trained you?"

"Yeah… I asked me to take me in." Kao replied.

"So… what are you here for?" Gohan asked.

"Yeah. I'm here to tell you of a great threat." Kao said, getting serious.

"A threat? More androids?" Goku asked.

"No, not androids. This time, it is something far more powerful." Kao replied.

"What?" Piccolo asked. "Just tell us!"

"At approximately eight thirty pm, a group of evil fighters will enter the Earth. A race called the Mercenaries."

"Mercenaries?" Goku asked. "Powerful you say?"

"Yes. My brother Trunks' Super Saiyan two wasn't even enough."

"Super Saiyan two?" Goten asked. "That's a really high level!"

"Yeah, but Trunks was flattened in two blows." Kao explained.

"Wow, these guys seem tough…" Goten said.

"You can't be my son's student! You're stronger than me!" Vegeta complained. "I will fight you now, to prove I am still the strongest!"

"Vegeta stop!" Goku said. "Don't do this!"

"I am the Prince of Saiyans!" Vegeta yelled, transforming into Super Saiyan Dai Ni Dan Kai.

"Very well Vegeta. If you really want to fight, then I accept." Kao replied, charging his energy once more. Vegeta leaped forward and attempted a punch at Kao, who blocked it easily.

"W-what?" Vegeta stammered. "My attack did nothing…?" Kao merely stared at Vegeta, then, grabbing his wrist, he threw Vegeta sky-high. Vegeta sailed into the clouds.

"I will not be defeated by a nobody!" he growled. Gaining back control of himself, he held out his arm. "Final Flash!" a blue-white beam of plain energy warped toward Kao, at ground-zero.

"Dad's attack's too powerful! That kid won't survive!" Trunks shouted. Kao paused for a moment, then held out his own right arm.

"Final… FLASH!" the same blue-white beam emitted from Kao's hand, and collided head-on with Vegeta's, creating a massive explosion. The white smoke cleared, and Vegeta landed a few meters away, with a bad burn on his left cheek.

"Why you…"

"That kid used a Final Flash too?" Trunks asked. "But that's my dad's move!"

"Who is this boy?" Piccolo thought. "He isn't a Super Saiyan, yet his power is so great!"

"How did you learn my move?" Vegeta spat. "HOW?"

"I was taught it." Kao replied plainly.

"Taught?" Vegeta asked.

"By who!"

"Do you give up?" Kao asked.

"Me? Surrender? In your dreams!" Vegeta charged forward again, and started to throw lightning-fast punches and kicks at the young boy, but Kao merely shrugged them off, deflecting every blow like they were from a rookie.

"You mock me!" Vegeta growled. He stopped and flew high into the air. Kao watched as Vegeta retreated into the clouds once more. He charged a small blue ball in his two palms, which increased in size every second.

"Stop this! If you're so mighty!" Vegeta shouted. Kao stood there, watching his opponent attempt a desperate attack. "BIG BANG ATTACK!"

The now massively large blue energy ball slowly made its way down toward its target.

"That's even greater!" Krillin shouted. "He won't be able to stop that!" then, Kao began to mutter something.

"Kamehame…"

"Is he saying what I think he's saying?" Gohan asked.

"It can't be!" Piccolo stammered. "No, he can't know that move!"

"HA!" from the cupped hands of Kao, a powerful and brilliant Kamehameha Wave exploded from the small boy.

"The Kamehameha Wave!" Tien shouted. "Impossible!"

"How could have known that?" Goku wondered. "This boy is truly incredible." the mighty Kamehameha Wave collided strongly with Vegeta's Big Bang and sent it back at its sender.

Vegeta quickly flew aside and landed on the ground, watching the Kamehameha Wave and the Big Bang attack sail into outer space. Goku flew with the rest of the crew.

"Where did you learn that?" Goku asked.

"I don't know… I just knew it…" Kao said, powering down. Vegeta had transformed back to normal as well.

"You are certainly powerful." Vegeta said. "Maybe Trunks trained you after all."

"Are you a Saiyan?" Gohan asked.

"Yes." Kao replied. "Trunks trained me to become one. He trained me to the best of my abilities, I had exceeded the level of a normal Saiyan, but I still am missing something, something to trigger my transformation."

"We'll work on that, but first, we have to know more about the threat." Goten said.

"Yeah, come down to Capsule Corporation. You know that place don't you?" Goku asked.

"Yeah, I live there in the future." Kao said. together, with a new member, the Z Fighters headed for West City, to Capsule Corp.

One Year Later…

After significant training, Goku, Gohan, Goten, Trunks and Vegeta had reached the best of their Saiyan abilities. Kao had watched over them, for any signs of high-level energy.

"Kao, you haven't trained at all since you got here," Gohan said, appearing from Kami's Lookout.

"I don't feel I can reach my abilities…" Kao replied. "I can't go Super Saiyan. What use am I?"

"Plenty!" Gohan shouted, shocked by the response. "You were the one who warned us!"

"Yeah but…"

"Listen, everyone has had a turn in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber at least five times. You should go in with someone. You can fit a whole years training in one day!" Gohan said.

"I guess that could help…" Kao said.

"Go on…"

"What's wrong?" Trunks asked, coming up to them.

"Kao won't train."

"What? We need his power!" Trunks said, the same shocking response Gohan had.

"If you really want me to…" Kao started.

"Yes, go." Gohan said, dragging him to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Kao got himself dressed into Saiyan Armor and started to enter the all-white room.

"Don't think you're going in there alone boy," a rough voice said. Kao, Gohan and Trunks turned to see who was speaking. And, standing behind them, with his Saiyan Armor already on his body, was Vegeta.

"Vegeta?" Kao asked. "What-?"

"You going train, and I'm going to turn you into a Super Saiyan." Vegeta said, stepping forward.

"R-really?" Kao asked.

"You are my son's brother, and I won't let any member of my family get any weaker." Vegeta said. "Let's go."

Vegeta entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and sealed the door shut. Kao followed his foster father into the large room. If Vegeta could turn him into a Super Saiyan, he was going to stay in this chamber for as long as it takes.
