Chapter 2: The end of Earth..the beginning of Cell...

Cell flies in fast pace with Vegeta still on his shoulder, Cell can't help smiling for now he realizes that he is officially the worlds strongest and ultimate being having killed off both Gohan and surviving Gokus strongest attack all at the same exact time. He can't help laughing, Vegeta slowly regains consciousness, barely opening his right eye, only to see himself being carried by what could be the universes next ruler, but he couldn't help wondering..Cell could've easily killed him, why keep him alive?

"Cell.." Vegeta struggles to say his words, "You bastard, how dare you..I promise you that I...will kill...you..at all costs."

"Ah Vegeta," Cell says, "You have no idea what I have installed for you, so you need to just hang tight."

Cell states smiling as he flies across a city. The citizens ot the city look up as they can't believe what they're seeing. "Everyone, loo kit's Cell. I can't believe it Hercule didn't beat him, and he has someone on his shoulder!" The citizens start screaming and running around in circles, "We're all gonna die!" a man shouts repeatedly. Cell stops in mid-air and smiles.

"Look at them, they're running away from the inevitable. They could run all they want to but they know the truth, sooner or later they all will die, the master race that I intend to build with my own hands will be a magnificant one, Know one will see them coming." Cell extends his right hand to the city, "And now, slowly we will eradicate the viruses of not only this planet but the entire universe, as me and my master race become more dominant then anyone or anything!" Cell fires a huge ki ball att he city, Vegeta watches in horror as the city is blown to bits, women, children, he sheds a tear, thinking that could be his wife, and his son as the screams slowly pierce a hole through his heart. As the smoke clears, the city is nothing more then a mere crater, Cell smiles and shows Vegeta the carnage he has created.

"Do you see it Vegeta, this is only the beginning. Face it, even your pride has to let you see the truth sooner or later I am the ultimate being and the strongest fighter in the universe, while you, the great Prince Vegeta, has been reduced to nothing more but a mere bug compared to me."

Vegeta is in a state of shock, his body shaking, his eyes wide open. "This is it..this is the end." Vegeta says as Cell blasts off with Vegeta.

On the Cell Games arena, Cell has left a trail of batter'd and broken bodies. No one has survived this horrible onslaught of warriors, or so it seems. There's one man who's able to still wiggle his fingers, that man is Vegetas son Trunks. He first moves his finger,trying to over-come the paralysis the temporary paralysis that he has. "Gohan! Is anyone there, is it over!" Trunks says, his eyes closed. Trunks begins to slowly sit up, he struggles to stand but then stumbles and falls on one knee, he tries again and is able to stand firmly. His arm dragging, a huge hole through his chest, he slowly opens his eyes, the scenary is a little blury at first but then he sees it, the massacre. He sees Piccolos body lying there helplessly. "Gohan! Father!" he shouts but heres no answer. He then slowly limps to Piccolo, and approaches his motionless body. He shakes Piccolo trying to get a sign of life from him.

Piccolo finally starts moving as well, "Trunks..." he says gasping for air, "Cell...he's done it please, take me to Kamis l..." but Piccolo passes out, not having the strength to finish his sentence.

"Piccolo, Piccolo!" Trunks screams, trying to awaken Piccolo but Piccolo is knocked out, "He did it...he.won." Trunks says swelled up with tears, "All my efforts to come back in time and try to help the past, has been in vein, and now an even greater threat hovers over the earth, No I can't let this happen, their is another way I know it!" Trunks is able to bring up strength to place Piccolo on his shoulder, "Don't worry Piccolo, I won't let you down." Trunks flies as fast as possible, with a near invisible tear, rolling down his eye."

Cell finally stops in the middle of a dried up desert. "This is it Vegeta, where it will all begin." Cell looks at the ground with his eye and squints his eyes, suddenly the ground blows up producing a large and deep hole. Cell goes through the hole with Vegeta still on his shoulder, the hole is dark and a very mysterious place. As Cell reaches to the end of the hole Vegeta notices what looks like a lab, is he seeing things he thinks. Cell finally lands at the end of the large hole, and it turns out Vegeta wasn't seeing things, it is in fact a laboratory with the sign RR on the center of the floor. It has computers, blue-prints, and 25 tanks surrounding him. Cell throws Vegeta on the ground like trash.

"Cell...what is this place?" Vegeta asks,

Cell laughs at Vegeta, his laughter becoming common now, "I like to welcome you to the underground laboratory of Dr.Gero, at least the one that only I know because me and Gero shared a certain bond, he was my father on reality one might say. Even though I was his ultimate creation, it seems that 17, 18, and 19 were his only succes of Artificial warriors. Android 16, as you may have known, experienced many flaws, but during the Androids 16 through 20, there was more. There are in fact 15 more powerful Androids inside each of these crates, Imagine Vegeta. Fighting an army of Androids 2 times the strength of 17, and it gets even better."

"You..can't be serious?"

"Oh but I am Vegeta, Dr.Gero had admired the aspect of you Saiyan warriors. The fact of increasing your strength after every mortal wound as a technique that even gods would love to have. That's what he thinks made the saiyans so invincible, so in each of these tanks, lies an android who has a Saiyan cell inside of him. But, their is only one problem Vegeta, it seems as though, they need a power-source. Dr.Gero didn't count on this, a power source of a Saiyan warrior. I would do it myself, but unfortunately I contain Cells from so many different beings my power would mes up the program and probably even destroy them completely. They require full power, from a natural full-Blooded Saiyans, and Vegeta, you're the only one left."

Vegeta looks in terror, he is helpless and has no chance of defending himself. "Do what you will Cell, I will not allow all of my energy to be given by these Androids."

"I didn't think so," Cell approaches Vegeta and takes him by his hair,.

"You fiend, where are you taking me?"

Cell takes Vegeta to a water-tank, very similar to the water tank that healed Goku on planet Namek but only instead of water, the tank is surrounded by green goo. Cell presses a red button that stands out on the left side of the green tank, the green goo slowly drains away, the tank opens. "Don't worry Vegeta, you'll be good as new after this." Cell places a helpless Vegeta inside the tank, and attatches him to what looks like a life-support system, he literally attatches Vegetas arms and legs to some kind of plug, and put over his mouth an oxygen mask. He presses the red button again to close the tank, the green goo surrounds Vegeta. "Hello Vegeta, are we having a good time?" cell says, smiling in front of Vegeta, "I wasn't lying Vegeta, this will help you. But after you are fully healed, it will absorb your energy. This whole process should take a long 3 hours, plenty of time to begin my new announcement to these disgusting humans, i'll see you later." Cell flies out of Dr.Geros secret lab, leaving Vegeta, a physical and mental mess.

"I don't believe it, we've survived so much. Is this how it all will end?" Vegeta says, thinking to himself.

Trunks and Piccolo finally reaches to Kamis look out, Dende is seen in the corner crying with Popo trying to calmhim down.

"Dende, this is not the end, we still have the dragonballs." Mr.Popo says,

"Hey!" Trunks shouts, Dende and Popo turn around and shocked to see Trunks and Piccolo, "Please, you've got to..." Trunks collapses to the ground before finishing his sentence, Piccolo as well. Dende wipes the tears from his eyes and run towards Trunks and Piccolo, Mr.Popo following him.

"I'm sorry guys, I didn't know." He places his hand on Piccolo and Trunks, slowly but surely, there battle scares fade away, Trunks and Piccolo are now fully healed." They both get up, facing Dende who stays looking at the ground.

"I'm...sorry." Dende says,

Piccolo looks as though he's getting anger'd, "Sorry for what Dende, you didn't do anything you did what you was suppose to do. You're the guardian of this planet and I wouldn't have you any other way. But as you both see, the whole universe is in danger, and there is no time for mournings."

"Dende.." Trunks says, getting his attention, "What happened after Cell knocked me out."

"Yes, and I would like to know what happened with Vegeta as well?" Piccolo states,

"Gohan...is dead, but Trunks your father is still alive, I just don't know where?" Dende looks at the ground once again, "I'm sorry but Cell was moving so fast I couldn't pin-point his location."

"Stop blaming yourself Dende, like I said this is no time for mourning. We have to make sure we get out of this alive, but i'm not even sure if that's possible now." Piccolo closes his eyes, "Everyone shut up, I need to concentrate."

"Piccolo..." Trunks says, curious about what Piccolos doing.

Suddenly Piccolos eyes widens, "I found him!" Piccolo shouts,

"Who?" Trunks asks, "My dad?"

Piccolo nods his head, Trunks balls up his fist, "Then let's go." Trunks is about to run off Kamis look-out but Piccolo grabs his arm, holding him back. "What are you doing, he's going to kill him!"

"No, this may sound strange but I feel Vegetas life-force becoming more visible then fading away, like he's being healed." Piccolo looks at Trunks, "Right now Trunks, you are the strongest saiyan on Earth. Goku and Gohan are both dead and Cell is causing a rampage, in my current state I won't be able to do anything, I can't sense Cells power so he must be masking himself. He could be hiding where Vegeta is right now, this could be all a plot of some sort by Cell and if you get hurt Trunks, you will die, I think it's best for you to train in the Hyperbolic time chamber."

"At a time like this?" Trunks says,

"This might be the only chance we get of saving this planet. Everyone we both know is dead Trunks, Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, imagine him killing your mother Trunks?"

Trunks looks down at the floor, as if not knowing what to say.

"You need to train hard, and try to gain the kind of power Gohan had, that might be the only way, you can't beat him in your current state."

"I guess..you're right Piccolo." Trunks says,

Piccolo nods his hea,d "Good, now get going, i'll be back!" Piccolo powersup and blasts off to find Vegeta, Trunks looks at Piccolo. "Good luck." he says walking to the hyperbolic time chamber.
