Chapter 32: Two Halves Reunite

I need a way to help Goku and weaken Omega. Those Dragonballs would weaken him, but how could I get them? And when? I have to fix my mess. Only I can fix it. I made Oceanus, Rage, Natron, and Sin. I have to put Omega down.

I stared at Omega and Goku as they fought. Omega had so much more power; he could easily equal Drazark.

Drazark killed Goku at SSJ4, and I can't become Dragonfly. But Codie… could he help?

"Codie, you know I'd never ask you to do something if I thought it was dangerous, right?" I asked, looking Codie in the eye.

"Uh, yeah, I guess so."

"Well, for once I have to. If Goku loses, we all die anyway. At least if you can help now, and God forbid you do die, we could bring you back."

"Yeah, what do you need me to do?" he asked, fearless.

"I love you. Never forget that. I wouldn't ask you to do this if there was another way."

"Right, mom. I love you, too. Don't you forget that."

"Never. Here's the plan. Right now Omega is stronger than Drazark, and Drazark could kill Goku at Super Sayjin four. I fought as Dragonfly and won. Dragonfly was a fusion of Cell and myself."

"So do you want to fuse with me? Is that it?" Codie asked.

"It wouldn't be enough. You have to go to HFIL and fuse with Cell."

"What!" Codie cried.

"Katie, are you crazy?" Trunks asked.

"It might work." Gohan said.

"What?" Goten asked.

"Cell's two sides are extremely powerful apart right now. Back together they may prove stronger that Omega Shenron. If Evil Cell will do it."

"That's why it's dangerous. Evil Cell won't do it, but you're stronger than him, Codie. I know you are. You'll have to absorb Evil Cell with you tail."

"But mom, I've never absorbed anyone or anything with my tail. I don't know if I can." Codie said, doubting.

"Don't doubt yourself. Power all the way to your maximum form. Get Kooler to help you, too. He'll do it if you tell him it's for me."

"Okay mom, I trust you know what you're doing."

I only hope Codie will come out of this as the same person.

"Codie, you may not be the same when you go through with this. I wanted to warn you, just in case."

"If it'll help Goku and bring back dad, I'll do it."

We hugged, and he teleported to HFIL.

"Katie, you do realize that Codie may not be himself when he returns, right? He may even become evil." Gohan asked, being extremely serious, almost grim. He knew how evil Cell could be, but so did I.

"Yes, but Cell loved me, and Codie loves me. That kind of love can remain through any transformation. Besides, it'll be safer in the long run if there is only one, good Cell."

"Let's hope the new Codie is good. A new, evil Super Cell may be too much for Super Sayjin four." Gohan said, looking at the fight.

The fight persisted, and Goku couldn't hold Omega off very well. But none of us here could help. Omega could kill any of us with a thought.

"We have to help dad somehow." Goten said, antsy.

"I wish we could, but anything less than Super Sayjin four would be killed too easily." I said, anxious.

"Grandpa, finish him already!"

"Yeah, go Goku!" Hercule called.

I hate this, but all I can do is watch and cheer. If I go with Codie, I might just get him killed. If I fight Omega I'll be the dead one.

At least I'd be with Mirai, though…

I can't think like that!

My anger was fueling my desire to fight, but I couldn't, not now. Now I could understand 17 better than I did before. Standing on the sidelines is no way to live.

Omega hit Goku with a blast of wind, hard and strong. It was from Oceanus Shenron. Then he was hit with thunder; Rage Shenron. 3 of my 4 dragons were hurting Goku.

I have to figure out how to get those Dragonballs back! It's killing Goku!

As I watched the fight, I sensed a new, strong power coming this way. It was fresh, but familiar. An old friend was coming to play with Omega.

"Katie, did you sense that?" Gohan asked.

"Yeah, Cell's coming." I replied.

As soon as it was said, it was true. Codie, …or Cell, was there. He landed by us first, looking at all of us.

Cell. That's all the description I need to give you. This new Cell looked exactly like the old one, only bigger and more powerful.

"Your power grew a hell of a lot." I said, smirking. (Giru, giru!)

"Codie?" He looked at Pan as she spoke, "Are you still on our side?"

"Yes, but Codie isn't our name." the voice was that of a fusion of Cell and Codie. It worked, and I was relieved, "Our new name is Android 24, code-name Naiad."

"I knew you could do it, Codie. You better go help Goku, Naiad."

"Right." He took off, right toward Omega without blinking an eye.

"I guess you were right about the fusion, Katie." Gohan said.

"Thank the Kais that I was."

"What do you mean by that?" Goten asked.

"I may know more about Cell than Gero himself, but this is a whole new ballgame. Fusing machines with Sayjins and spirits split in two isn't my forte."

"So you guessed?"

"Yep." I said, causing the others to sweat-drop.

Naiad was fighting great, but Goku seemed to be more powerful. Naiad wasn't as strong as a SSJ4, but he was close.

They combined Kamehameha Waves, but Omega countered with his own blast.

"It still isn't enough, is it?" Videl asked.

"No, its not. Dammit!"

"Good thing we're here now!" I turned to see Bulma and Vegeta, finally coming over the hill. Bulma was driving a truck with a huge machine built in.

"Great, you guys better get to work." I said, looking back at Goku.
