The fight for the future
I don't own DBZ or its characters
Goma-Ryu Immortal Vampire- Thanks for the review, this chapter does have two small fights
Queen Luana- Well we shall see soon, I give it 3-4 chapters till there is one Krillin again
Digi Fan- yep, well I figure that would be a good place for them to find out
Piccolo stared down across the green lawn of the small island which the two had landed on. I had taken a good 5 minutes for them to arrive on the island. Now his enemy was across from him, the single foe he had to take out to make sure that Cell had no chance at becoming perfect. As he looked over to the other side of the field he saw 18, and the larger 16 standing up away from where the fight was going to take place. He wondered why Cell had said nothing about the large android 16, he wondered if there was something different about him from the other two. Whatever the case now he was going to have to put his full power to use and take down this treat, cause he figure a non perfect Cell would actually be beatable, but this perfect Cell, well they had no chance against him. He flexed his arms up and prepared himself.
"Hey green bean, are we going to fight this fight sometime this century," 17 said with a mock grin on his face.
Just from the look on his face, Piccolo could tell 17 was no taking him seriously., he charged up quickly, kicking a handful of rock into the air, flying at high speeds to 17. He could tell as he approached that 17 was not prepared at all for his new power, or at least with the effort he was putting up. Piccolo slammed his fist into 17's stomach, and 17 stepped backwards and spit out some blood. Piccolo figured it would be wise and kept on attacking he kick 17 low popping him up into the air a bit, then he knocked him back a good ways with a quick upper cut to 17's chin.
17 got up and was mad, this Namekian had just shown himself his worthy, and had done him some damage, he did know what the heck had happened to cause him to get so strong, but this was not over by a long shot, he was not going to give in this easy to the namekian, no way. He charged at Piccolo who looked ready, he faked a uppercut to catch Piccolo off guard, and brought a punch down to his chest with all his power, but Piccolo countered it perfectly, and he was knocked back but so was Piccolo. At that moment the warriors knew the fight was going to be a long one.
A little bit before on the other side of the planet, the other Z warriors were sitting in a Cargo plane. When each felt Piccolo's power rise. When it happened they all were alarmed, and each had a more serious look on their face.
"Um, guys what is going, on" Bulma asked as she looked back at the oddly overly serious warriors.
"Piccolo, I think he is about to battle one of the androids, actually I am very sure of it, and that other power just disappear from sight to, something is up," Yamcha explained to Bulma, "If there was only a way for us to stop these androids."
"Oh wait, I think there is, I was making this device, but I am not sure that it will work or not, I just have to add some finishing touches," Bulma said with one of her odd smiles.
Shin was about to start taking when Krillin leaned forward, "Well, Bulma, why don't you take me to this place, I am sure the others can fly to Kami house or to where ever the androids strike next."
"Um are you sure, Krillin, I mean this won't be that easy, in fact it could be very dangerous," Bulma asked looking at Krillin.
"Yeah I am, guys, well if you don't mind, I want to do this," Krillin said proudly, he knew that he now that he didn't have to be a coward, that there was a version of himself that was not, and in fact that one was a heck of a warrior, and person.
"Um, Guys why don't you go back to check on Goku, I am going to go help Piccolo," Tien said undoing his seat belt.
"Tien stop, I don't think you will be able to help him," but as Shin finished the statement, the back of the cargo ship was open, and Tien was gone.
"Well guys I think my dad is getting better, can we check on him," Gohan asked hopping that the small but quickly increasing power he felt was his father's coming back from the brink of death.
"Ok, Gohan, like Shin said, I we can't fight these androids now, so why not," Yamcha said giving Gohan a thumbs up.
"Well ok, but once we know about Goku, we got to go back and help the others," Krillin said, soon the others were gone from the ship as well.
Tien flew low to avoid being seen by the androids, he followed Piccolo power, and soon was flying at near sea level over the ocean, and a bit later he was landed on a island, he could see two fast blurs moving across each other fast. He focus his third eye, and could make out that it was Piccolo and 17 exchanging punches and Kicks a high speeds, both of them looked like they had a lot to give. They danced across the sky like to fighter jet in a dog fight to the death. Each exchanging blow after blow soon thought he could see that both were on the ground breathing hard.
Then he felt it, it was the odd power, he appeared from one side of 17.
"Well Piccolo, it seems that you have helped my work, I should thank you for this," Cell said as he laughed.
"17 get away form him, he his hear to absorb you, and destroy you," Piccolo said charging a large energy ball before throwing him at the Green monster. Cell then knocked the act away with ease, and grabbed Piccolo by the neck and stabbed him with something that looked like a stinger, and throw him into the sea.
"Great, this is not good," Tien said thinking how powerful this new enemy was.
Across the Ocean where the heroes were just arriving at Kami house, Gohan felt Piccolo fade out. He mind and heart almost stopped at that moment, as he wondered how his hero could of died so suddenly. He had to avenge Piccolo. Gohan began to start walking off before he felt a familiar hand on his shoulder.
"Son, you can't you will just end up like Piccolo, there is nothing we can do now, we just have to wait," the voice said.
Gohan turned to see that his father was behind him, he had transported to the spot. Gohan felt overjoyed at the fact that his father was alive, as was everyone around him, he could see the others look teary eyed at Goku.
"Well guys, it seems that I will be a factor in this fact after all, right Shin, or um should I say Krillin, " said with a smile:I am very impressed that you turned out so strong, and to be such a great person."
"So, Goku, um do you have any ideas," Yamcha said looking at his old friend with a smile.
"Yeah we have to go meet Kami, and I think he has something to help us."
On the battlefield, Cell was about to absorb 17, when suddenly he was nailed by 16. Tien was impressed at 16 power, he gave Cell a real run for him money, everything he did worked, it seemed that this tall android was actually could win, and it also he could tell that this android was really that evil. 16 then fired lots of blast at Cell, and now it looked like it was all over. He was happy that he was not going to half to do any fighting.
"Wow, 16 you're the man, with our power, I am sure we can run right over the universe," 17 said smiling.
Tien watched 16 say nothing, just act like what he did was normal, not giving into 17 talk of personal power, he was more sure that this android was a bit different then the others or at least 17. Then he felt it, Cell was not dead, but it to late to do anything before anyone could do anything 17 was gone, and Cell looked different. Tien remembered what Piccolo said about absorbing, and from what he was feeling from the increase of power, they wouldn't have a chance. "Great oh well, I got to give it a shot," Tien said taking to the air quickly, aiming down on Cell who was moving towards 16 and the injured 18.
Tien sighed to himself at least Cell had not noticed him yet, well he though of all his life as it ran together, and he was happy about this way of death it if would only lead to the others having a chance to beat Cell.
"Hey Cell, here is one from the no-count," Tien yelled out as he fired his firest Tri-Beam down on Cell.
Tien keeped up the pass he was knocking Cell deeper down a whole, but he knew he could not beat Cell or do major damage just delay him, he looked at the androids.
"Get out of here now, please, I beg you, leave," Tien then kept firing.
18 watched amazed at the sight, this simple human was giving his power up to hold off Cell, the one who was going to destroy her, what was with these humans, they seemed really odd. Then it hit her also that this attack also took his own life from him, a person who could of escaped. Why… why give up your life for someone who was your enemy. She took of out of range of Cell, at least for now.
Tien smiled as he saw his mission was a success, he fired off 3 more tri-beams and fell to the ground.
Cell soon was on the surface of the island madder then a hornet.
"To be stopped by him, what the heck, I can't believe, that stupid human."
Goku suddenly appear in front of him, and he notice him walk to the ocean and pick up Piccolo, and then appear next to Tien, picking him up as well.
"You must be Goku, that is a neat trick, hey want to fight me," Cell said with a smile
"Well I will, but not now, I will later when it will be much more fun," Goku said disappearing.
