Chapter 23

"Moray."

"mm, yes."

"MORAY WAKE UP!"

She bolted up right with a shock. She looked round and saw Bulma and Chi Chi round her.

"Moray honey are you ok? You're sweating and panting. Did that monster hurt you?"

"What are you talking about? Monster? Sweat?" she felt her head and she saw and felt that she was covered from head to foot in sweat. Then Chi Chi turned to her.

"Sweetie you're sweating and Bulma has invented a devise to detect where Cell is since no one can sense him. And the devise said that he was inside of you." Bulma dabbed her head with a damp cloth.

"Honey did he hurt you?"

"Hurt me?"

"Yes, you were breathing very heavily and looked like you were being restrained."

"Not to mention you were tossing and turning." She looked down.

"Yes he was fighting me, and pushed me into a wall."

"Oh it must have been terrible." Bulma rinsed out the towel and turned behind her.

"Yes, terrible." She looked away so that they couldn't see her glowing.

"Bulma have you finished that armour yet?"

"Yes I have and it's perfect" she laid it in front of Moray. It looked like a Green and Bronze version of what Zena wore. Ironic really, Cell was always calling her his Princess and now she was not only his, but she was going to dress like a princess too. But it did look cool and stylish too.

"We'll leave you alone so you can try it on."

She tried it on and it looked hot. Cell wouldn't be able to keep his hands off her now. Owe my God what was she saying. She actually wanted Cell to put his hands on her. She had to leave and soon. And she didn't even want to think about how her parents would react to her looking like this.

"Morey, its Piccolo, May I have a word?"

"Yes." He walked in and sat down. He indicated to her to do the same.

"Goku is dying, Vegeta is still unconscious from this morning and no one is powerful enough to stand up to Cell. So we have to make a plan but it will only work if you agree to help."

"What do you want me to do?" He leaned closer as if afraid someone would hear them.

"Well I have tried to understand Cell and try to understand why he does what he does. This has proved difficult but I think he wants to do what ever it is he wants to do as fast as possible. And I also think that you know what he is up to. So if you know what he is up to it is important that you tell me now. Well, is there something that you're not telling me? I know you care about him but I also know that you are not evil. And would you really stand back and let him hurt so many people?"

That's it; she had to tell them everything now. Its not like anything could get any worse and this wasn't her past anymore. Things had totally changed now, her dad was mean, her mum was dead, she was like a she-Cell now and Goku is dying. Things can't get much worse.

"Ok, I'm from another time line. I got here in a time machine by mistake. Then I ran into Cell who did save me from, you know, so I am lost. I am an Android because I'm supposed to be 18# daughter and Krillin is supposed to be my dad."

"Whoa?… Krillin?"

"yep and in my time's past a visitor from the future is supposed to have visited 3 years ago to warn Goku that he will come down with a disease and give him the antidote. Then Cell would absorb 17# eventually NOT straight away like he did here, then it should be at lest a day before he absorbs 18#."

"Your mother?"

"Yes that's right and then he would hold a tournament called the Cell games."

"He is, it starts in about an hour."

"But that's the thing, its not supposed to start for another 9 days giving the future visitor, Vegeta, Gohan and Goku, who will have recovered by this time, to go into the Hyperbolic time chamber and become powerful enough to beat Cell. But something's happened to mess up the time line. Cell is supposed to be taking his time in confidence not rushing and taking no chances!"

"Then something has happened to Goku to change history."

"Nothings happened to Goku, he is meant to get ill. Wait!"

"What?"

"Nothing happened to Goku. But something has happened to Cell."

"What?"

"Me! I've happened, I'm not meant to be here, I was afraid that I would influence history and I have. I've doomed it."

"How have you doomed it?"

"I…Well Cell is in…well."

"Dam it woman spit it out!"

"Cell is in love with me."

"Why do you think that?"

"He told me he wants to be with me and that he wants to come back to the future with me. He said that he wants to get along with the future Z fighters so that he could be with me. Wait you said something about a plan."

"Yes well this changes everything. This plan will work."

"Well don't keep me in suspense, tell me."

"Are the Z fighters of your time as powerful as you say they are?"

"Yes, why?"

"So Cell would have no chance against them?"

"No but what's your point?"

"Take him with you. That way he isn't a threat and he will get what he and you want. Not to mention this time would be safe."

"You have to be kidding."

"No I'm not and it's the only way to save our world. All you need to do is persuade him to come with you. This if he is in love with you, won't be hard with you dressed like that. Then take him to your time and then what you do with him is your business."

"But."

"Our world's fate is in your hands. Please do it for all the Good in your heart."

He had to say that. He had too. It's not fair. She shouldn't even be here. She should be at home in bed; asleep with the only thing on her mind being what she is going to wear tomorrow. Not the fate of the universe. This one anyway.

"When does the tournament start?"

"Soon, we should set off now really."

"Then lets go." She got up and walked out the room. Piccolo went to pick her up but she did something odd. She walked back and went upstairs.

"Moray, where are you going?"

"I have a plan, but I need you to stall for me. Hurry!" and with that she disappeared upstairs and found a spare room. Sat on the bed, curled up and closed her eyes.
