It's not your fault- Angel of Misery.
Chapter 3, hurra! Sorry this is taking so long, but, I have my fanfic saved on this stupid memory stick thing. So, I have to keep uploading off that. Anyway...chapter 3! Again, if it's changed, sorry, but that's the way it goes, kiddos.
I do not own Dragon Ball Z. But I own Sariell, and any other characters I may chuck in.

Chapter 3: Race for the Androids.
Sariell screeched, although, since Cell's tail was latched on to her no one could hear anyway.
She tried to struggle or desperately hit him off her, but it didn't seem to be working. This time Cell was in control.
Perhaps it was fate that Trunks walked in. Seeing the situation before him, he yelped, "Cell!
Cell ignored him; there'd be time to deal with him after he absorbed Sariell.
But Trunks saw the lump in Cell's tail and immediately assumed that he was absorbing someone he shouldn't be.
Swiftly getting out his sword, Trunks cut Cell's tail clean off, just a hair from where Sariell's head may have been.
Sariell forced her way out of the cut off tail just as it dissolved, "Erugh!"
Trunks turned to face Cell, but to his surprise, he was gone. So, he turned back to Sariell.
"Are you ok?"
She brushed herself off and shuddered, "I think so. Thanks. Um…who are you again?"
"I'm Trunks." He introduced.
"Ah, right. The one from the future." Sariell nodded.
Trunks agreed, "Yeah. Can I just ask you a few questions, or should I leave it for morning?"
"No, no, it's fine." Sariell sat on the bed, wide-eyed and awake now.
"I was just wondering why Cell was in you're room." Trunks asked.
Sariell found it hard not to roll her eyes. "To absorb me, obviously."
Trunks laughed, "I know that. I meant, well, why?"
It went quite as Sariell pondered. After awhile, she answered, "I suppose…well…Goku and the others said I'm a Saiyan, right? When I first met Cell, he mentioned that he was made up of the cells of the strongest fighters, which included strong Saiyans like Goku and Vegeta. Perhaps…he wants to absorb me because as a Saiyan, I would give him a considerable power-boost."
"That would make sense." Trunks murmured. "What I don't understand is, though, why go after you first, when there's still the androids?"
"Androids? Cell didn't mention androids." Sariell cocked her head.
"Cell's also after these other androids, called androids #17 and #18. Thankfully, they're different sort of androids to Cell. The form he's in now, that you know him as, is called his 'Imperfect form'." Trunks started to explain.
"Imperfect?" Sariell frowned. The way Cell acted, it was like he was the best thing the world had ever seen.
"Yep. If he absorbs both androids, he'll become what he calls, his 'Perfect form'. We're trying to stop that, because if he does, he could become unbelievably powerful. So, that's why I wondered why he was wasting time with you." Trunks concluded.
"Maybe, he doesn't have enough power to go after the androids yet." Sariell suggested.
"Maybe. I suppose not if you could hit him through a wall." Trunks smiled.
Sariell blushed, "That was an accident."
"Well. I'll let you get some sleep." Trunks got up and left.
Sariell got back in her bed and tried to sleep, but the word 'Cell' kept inside her head, like someone repeatedly banging on a drum.
The next morning.
Sariell yawned as she came out on the lookout part of 'Kami's lookout'.
"Hey, I heard about what happened last night. I'm sorry, we probably should have someone outside you're room." Goku apologized as soon as he saw her.
"Goku, it's fine. He just surprised me. It's not like I can't defend myself." Sariell assured.
"Yeah. Yeah, I suppose you're right. Anyway, the Z Fighters are going to look for the androids, see if we can't de-activate them before Cell absorbs them. Did you want to come?"
Goku saw the look on her face and hurriedly added, "You don't have fight if you don't want to. Just…be a lookout for Cell?"
"I'll come. As for what I'll do…I'll see." Sariell said finally.
"Ok, good. Let's go then." Goku took to the air and Sariell followed.
It was sometime later everyone was flying through the air. Sariell was having trouble keeping up with them though.
It wasn't long before Vegeta snapped, "If you can't keep up, go home!"
Sariell huffed, "Excuse me, Mr. Grouchy! If I recall, I knocked Cell through a wall whereas you couldn't even beat up android #18!"
Vegeta started to ignore her and that was fine with Sariell.
Time seemed to fly past with them, and only slowed down when Sariell announced, "I see something."
"Like?" Goku slowed down slightly.
"Well, it's strange. They look like a normal boy and girl, the boy black haired and the girl blonde. But…I'm getting no energy off them." Sariell frowned.
"That's them! That's the androids!" Trunks yelped.
"But...there's also another one. That big green one." Sariell pointed out.
"Another android! How can history have changed so much?" Trunks cried.
"Never mind, just one more for us to de-activate!" Goku said cheerfully.
"Alright, lets go down then." Piccolo replied, and we all flew down.
Sariell landed on her stomach, "Ouch! I need more practice at that…"
"Alright, I'm going over." Goku said at once.
"Goku, I'm not sure if that's such a wise idea." Piccolo warned.
"Huh?" Goku turned to him.
"He's right, you know." Sariell interrupted and they both looked at her.
Blushing, she added, "Well, you know, if they're made them just like Cell, that means they probably want to hurt Goku don't they? Maybe Goku should stay back until later."
Goku nodded, "You're right. You and Piccolo go."
"Huh?" Sariell and Piccolo said at the same time.
"I don't need her help, Goku." Piccolo said darkly.
"Just take her along, Piccolo. She could be helpful." Goku argued.
"May I ask at what?" Piccolo growled.
"Well, lets face it; she's good with androids." Goku said knowingly and Sariell, who was already blushing at the time, went even redder and started coughing.
"Alright, fine..." Piccolo muttered, walking over to the androids, Sariell close behind.
Once they had gotten over to the androids, the dark haired one, #17, asked, "Who are you?"
"That's not of your concern. We're here to shut you down." Piccolo said at once.
"Now why would you want to do a thing like that?" #17 continued, amusement in his eyes.
"Cause there's this android named Cell who wants to absorb you! We want to shut you down so he doesn't get more powerful. Once we beat him, we can always start you up later!" Sariell said cheerfully, but shut up when Piccolo shot her a look.
"I don't know who this 'Cell' is, but don't worry. He won't be able to beat us." #17 laughed.
The blonde one, #18, had her eyes somewhere else. Sariell followed them to a rock and standing on that rock was an android she was much familiar with.
"Cell!"
"Where?" Piccolo turned to her. After she pointing, he nodded, "Good. Distract him."
"Distract him? How!" Sariell screeched.
"You'll think of something." Piccolo then turned to the androids and looked as though he was going to fight them.
Sariell was really becoming to dislike Piccolo. However, part of her did want to learn more about Cell, so she complied, and flew up to Cell.
As soon as she touched down, he said, "Don't try anything."
She blinked, "You knew I was coming?"
He turned, "I can feel your energy signals, idiot. Besides..." He smirked, "You just can't stay away."
Sariell went into another one of her blushing, coughing fits.
"In any case, I grudgingly admit you're stronger than me. But I don't mean you any harm at the moment, so just stay there." Cell continued.
"How long have you been here?" She asked.
"The whole time." He answered, without so much looking at her.
"Why haven't you done anything since then? You could have attacked the androids long before we got here!" Sariell frowned.
Cell turned to her, a mixture of amusement and anger in his eyes, "Because, I am watching. One cannot just go attacking everyone all the time. I am studying my opponents. That and #17 might wipe out Piccolo, which would do a job for me."
"I could stop you." Sariell said warningly.
"But you won't, will you?" Cell said knowingly.
"I...err...I will!" Sariell frowned, jumping into the air.
"I seriously doubt that. For, if you were going to stop me, you would have done it by now. That and the fact that unlike the other Z fighters, you, although being afraid of me, keep coming back. I wonder why that is..." Cell trailed off, looking thoughtful.
Sariell felt her anger and embarrassment rising, "I could kill you, you know! Stop...patronizing me!"
"I'm not patronizing. I'm simply saying you're too...shall we say, interested? Interested in me to destroy me. That, and you seem to be non-violent." Cell replied.
Sariell was about to make another remark when suddenly her mind snapped and she looked off into the distance with a blank sort of stare.
"This is great! With this one, we can finally prove our theory that half-Saiyans are stronger than regular Saiyans!"
"Yes…this half-Saiyan will prove most useful…"
Sariell was only snapped out of what seemed to be more memories by Cell saying, "Are you even listening to what I'm saying?"
"Um…huh?" Sariell shook her head.
"I was saying it's awfully surprising for a young Saiyan such as yourself to have so much power anyway." Cell repeated.
"Maybe because I'm a half-Saiyan." She said without thinking.
There was an awkward silence. Cell said nothing.
So Sariell left.
When she got back, she landed next to Trunks, "Hey."
"Where were you?" He questioned.
"Distracting Cell. Although, that's hardly necessary." She replied.
"Oh really?" Trunks frowned.
Sariell turned just in time to see Cell land in the middle of Piccolo and #17's fight.
So much for letting #17 destroy Piccolo, Sariell thought.
Piccolo and #17 were so surprised, they jumped back simultaneously.
Cell brought his hands back, "Ka...me..."
Sariell jumped, "Oh no!"
"Ha...me..."
"He's going to use the Kamehameha wave at Piccolo!" Goku yelped.
"HA!' And so Cell did. Piccolo was thrown backwards and was still smoking slightly as he hit the ground.
"Damn Cell!" Sariell hissed...how could he do that?
Cell started walking towards #17.
"We have to stop him!" Trunks yelled.
"Yeah..." Sariell said, half-heartedly.
Suddenly, the larger, silent android, known as android #16 stood in front of Cell.
"What do you want?" Cell frowned.
"Cell. You want to destroy this place. I won't allow it." #16 pulled his arms off to reveal some sort of energy source, pulsing.
Sariell suddenly had a bad feeling.
#16 yelled some attack at Cell and his arms started to glow...
------
Well, that's the chapter! I put more embarrassing moments for Sariell in there, because when you see chapter 4...or 5, I'm not sure which, you'll see why. It's going to be great, a little twist I threw in. Anyways, I kind of like this version better, what do you think? Love to hear you're ideas and constructive criticism. As long as you are not too mean!
