A Wonderful Life

Chapter 21: Unexpected Plan
A/N: Hey guys I'm back at it again and I also forgot about one small detail. Goku dies while he is still dead. If I remember correctly in canon you are erased from existence or something around those lines. So I decided to rework that. Otherwise I apologize if this chapter is a little empty, but really there wasn't much I could fit other than the main stuff I wanted to address. Anyway here is Chapter 21!
Cooler, Turles and Zangya flew further and further away from the battle. They were not going to waste their chance at getting away from the event after what had happened. As they left they could barely sense the fray, and couldn't care less
Cooler, although he isn't as petty as his brother, was still utterly insulted by his lack of strength. While he did blame the weaknesses of his once allies, he couldn't help but feel as if his hard work had all been for naught. He was humiliated and defeated after decades of hard work. This mark will never be forgotten
Turles was also saddened by his defeat, but more than surprised to see six Super Saiyans, two of which were kids. With that in mind he felt as though he held up well for someone who wasn't a Super Saiyan. Although by nature of his being, the defeat still stung. But this just proved further that the fruit of the Tree of Might is a wonderful thing indeed. Although he no longer had his ship, he was still smart enough to leave a few hidden seeds in random worlds across the galaxy
Zangya was the saddest of the three. She was not only the sole survivor of her crew, but she was also the last Heran left. Although her crew was cruel, she still liked being in a team. It gave her a sense of belonging and purpose when nothing else was an option. Now with all that gone she had no purpose, and it was all thanks to that damned Cell and the team of cursed warriors
However during their flight they were intercepted by three figures with no ki. One was tall and buff, the other was a redneck and the last was a short purple midget
"Well what do we got here? Looks like these folks are running scared! Now who might you three be?" 13 said as Cooler, in his true form, frowned
"We were with that bastard Cell before the heroes of this land wiped us out. Who are you? I will say this once, get out of my way." Cooler said as both 13 and 15 smirked, while 14 remained expressionless
"You could say we are associated with him. Now if we have a problem...we can settle this properly..." 13 let the implication hang as 14 and 15 looked much more serious
"No, we would appreciate it if you would kindly let us pass thank you." Turles said in a diplomatic fashion
While he was usually up for a good fight, he disliked his odds, having three unknown opponents and two weakened allies. Cooler had roughly the same idea. Zangya just didn't care
"Heh, now there's a reasonable man. Well sorry to disturb you folks, we were just wondering what were ya'll runnin from." 13 said as he loosened up, along with his two Android friends
"That bastard set us up. He got us in one group and forced us to fight these guys way out our league. He even killed our leader!! Bujin...Bido...Kogu..." Zangya said solemnly as Turles patted her back
"Hm, a damn shame. And I take it he told you'll to scram?" 13 said as Cooler huffed
"In a way, yes. Now we are stuck on this planet." Turles said. Cooler however, chuckled
"You two are stuck. I can breathe in space." Cooler remarked
"Well that's great! I'd like to invite you three to headquarters. It's a little cramped, but I'm sure the boss would love to see new faces." 13 said as Cooler laughed
"Me? Stay on this rock? You must be joking. I'll be taking my leave now, I have much better business to attend to, rather than this waste of my time." Cooler said as he continued on his original path, while Turles and Zangya stayed behind
"Huh, well what do you two say?" 13 asked as Turles nodded
"I'll stay here until I can find a way to get to my ship." Turles said
"Fine by me. And you little lady?" 13 asked Zangya
"Sure...I have nothing to do now anymore." Zangya said sadly as 13 nodded
"Great. Now follow me now y'all, and try not to lag behind." 13 remarked as he and his Android friends began to fly away
Turles and Zangya silently followed, Turles already attempting to hatch several different plans in his head, while Zangya wallowed to herself
"Is it wise to take such drastic decisions without alerting 21?" 14 questioned
"Oh don't you worry 14. I'm sure 21 will think something up." 13 said as everybody flew towards the hideout, the sun already beginning to rise slowly on the horizon
17 and 18 suddenly awoke after feeling a sudden flash of pain. When they awoke they found themselves in a very long line full of white balls of energy
"Hey! You're holding up the line! Get a move on!!" The ball behind the two yelled as 17 and 18 looked over to see that the soul in front of them was a few yards away
"Can it, before I blast you to pieces." 18 said as the other soul panicked
"Where are we?" 17 wondered as the two twins slowly rose and took in their surroundings
"I...I think this is Otherworld!" 18 said in surprise as she noticed 17's halo. She looked up to see one floating above her as well
"Hey guys!!" A voice said in the distance. The twins turned to see Goku, with his own halo over his head
"G-Goku? What the hell are you doing here? I thought that you would be erased from existence or something." 17 said as Goku flew closer
"What? Why? I just get sent to Otherworld again. But I did destroy the daily pass thing." Goku said before he shook his head
"But now's not the time! Come with me." Goku said as he grabbed 18 by the shoulder, and 17 as well. He then used Instant Transmission to teleport the twins to the Supreme Kai's land. On the land there was a gathering. There was the Supreme Kai, King Kai, Kibito, the kids, Vegeta, Future Trunks and Gohan. Everyone except the the Supreme Kai and Kibito had halos over their heads
When the trio appeared, Vegeta cursed to the air
"Damnit all to hell!! All that's left are the two Majins on our team." He said in anger
"What...is this place?" 18 asked as she turned towards Supreme Kai
"We currently are in Otherworld. However this is my personal space." He explained as 17 looked around
"It looks good." He said as Supreme Kai smiled
"Thank you." He said. King Kai suddenly gasped in surprise
"Hey King Kai? What happened? It can't be anything good." Goku asked as he walked over to his old master. As he walked everyone around tensed up to hear the news
"Cell... spared Preslata." King Kai announced as everyone gasped
"What? Why would he do that?" Future Trunks asked
"Yeah! He's the bad guy! Why would he save someone?" Trunks asked as Goten nodded
"It's not that simple kids." Gohan sighed
"What do you mean he spared them?" Vegeta asked as King Kai looked up to see him
"He gave some of his energy to the fusion and let her leave. That's about all that I caught before he left." King Kai said as everyone looked grave
"This wouldn't have happened had you two done better!!" Vegeta growled towards the twins
"Excuse me?! We wouldn't have been the last ones standing had you kept your brats in check!!" 18 yelled
"Or if you Saiyans didn't have such big egos." 17 remarked offhandedly as Future Trunks, Gohan and Vegeta looked angry
"How could we not get mad at Cell!! He killed the kids for crying out loud!!" Gohan said as everyone devolved into anger. Goku attempted to calm Vegeta and Gohan down while Vegeta as both his sons berated the twins
"ENOUGH!!" Supreme Kai yelled as everyone turned to look at him
"We cannot pin the blame on one another for the actions of Cell! Right now we must be worried about the state of the Earth! No, the Universe! Cell is loose and without anyone who could possibly defeat him!!" Supreme Kai yelled as everyone turned to look at each other
"Wait, something is happening!" King Kai exclaimed as everyone turned to look at him
Prestina and Chocolata flew towards Capsule Corporation, their fusion having long since finished
When they arrived, Chocolata was slightly confused as she saw the doors. Prestina simply walked inside as the doors opened by themselves. This shocked Chocolata for a second before she followed her sister
When they entered, the building was dark, aside from the light that came from the garden area
Both Prestina and Chocolata walked towards the garden area to see Bulma, Lamp and Caramela talking quietly. When the two entered, the parents looked over as their faces lit up
"Girls! You're safe! Oh I'm glad to see you!" Caramela said as she and Lamp moved over to hug the two
The hugging lasted for a few seconds before Bulma broke the silence
"Wait, where are the others?" She asked as Prestina shed a tear
"They...they're dead!" She exclaimed as the others gasped
"Wh-what happened?" Caramela asked as Bulma began to tear up
"Cell brought a bunch of wanted criminals with him to attack Earth. We killed most of the criminals...but Cell managed to kill everyone else." Chocolata explained as she too began to tear up
"Cell decided to spare us... He told us to spread the word..." Prestina said as Bulma began to cry
"No...not again." Bulma said as Prestina hugged Bulma. She sobbed at the thought of losing her sons and husband so suddenly, as well as all of her friends
"I don't understand, why would he do this?" Lamp asked as Chocolata answered
"He said that he has a long history with them. And with them gone...I don't know what he will do..." She said as Bulma slowly stopped crying
"What are those things on your ears?" Caramela asked as she pointed towards the pink earring that both Prestina and Chocolata had on opposite ears
"These are Potara Earrings. Goku gave them to the group for us to fuse together. The things join us together and make us stronger. But even with that, it wasn't enough." Prestina answered as she slowly let go of Bulma
"Ok...all we need are the Dragonballs. I'll go get the radar." Bulma reassured herself as she wiped a tear away. She then dashed for the dragon radar
"What are these 'Dragonballs' she refers to?" Lamp asked as Prestina responded
"They are these seven magical balls that summon a wish granting dragon. The dragon can revive the team, and then we can defeat Cell." She said
"Oh wow, why haven't we ever heard of them?" Chocolata asked
"They were kept a secret by the planet's guardian a long time ago." She responded simply as she recalled what Piccolo had told her
The family waited patiently for Bulma to come back. After a full minute she came back with the small round device, as well as a small brown pouch
"*huff* Ok, here is the radar. Go for the Dragonballs quickly before Cell does anything." Bulma said as she gave the radar to Prestina
"Ok, I'll do my best." She said as she dashed out the room
"Hey wait for me!" Chocolata said as she ran after her sister
Roshi, Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, Krillin and Piccolo sat in a circle around the table of Kami house. They all gathered when they sensed Cell appear with strangers. Knowing that their power would be useless compared to the rest of the team, they had decided to become a last resort of sorts. Granted they weren't strong, but this was so chaos could at least be stalled with their help in the event of defeat
"You think they lost?" Krillin asked as he sensed Cell and the fusion of Prestina and Chocolata leave
"I doubt it. With the two Majins still alive I believe that Cell let them all live, we just can't sense their weakened powers." Tien said hopefully as Piccolo waved his head
"That clearly isn't the answer. Cell spared them." He said gravely
"So you think they lost? What happens now?" Yamcha asked as Roshi looked down sadly
"All we can do is wait. Tien, you and Chiaotzu will make sure that nothing happens to the cities. Krillin, you and Piccolo will find Cell. We can at least distract him before he can do anything." Roshi said as everyone nodded
"What about me? What am I going to do?" Yamcha asked as Tien and Chiaotzu flew out of the house
"You go to Bulma. She might have you look for the Dragonballs." Roshi said as Piccolo and Krillin flew away
"Got it!" He exclaimed as he flew towards Bulma's house
"I have a bad feeling that this isn't going end well." Roshi thought as everyone flew towards their designated locations
Cell hummed to himself as he flew towards the hideout. He was in a great mood. He had finally taken out the Z team. Though it wasn't the whole team, he had taken out the ones he hated the most, Vegeta, Goku, Gohan, Future Trunks and the annoying brats, though the last one was just a plus. He was so glad he wasn't even worried about the future. Maybe he would take over Earth? Maybe he would revive the team just to kill them again? Whatever it was, he was sure it would come to him sometime
When he arrived he was pleased to see 13, 14 and 15 coming in as well. Lagging behind them were Turles and Zangya unexpectedly
"Ah, glad to see you all. And you two, I was under the impression that you were going somewhere." Cell said in a cheerful tone as Zangya's face warped into anger
"YOU!!" She said as she dashed towards Cell in an attempt to punch him. However, Turles quickly grabbed her other hand, keeping her in place
"Damnit she's going to get herself killed like this." Turles thought as Zangya yelled
"You sent my crew to die out there!! You knew they would kill us yet you sent us anyway!!!! You didn't even help us!!! You killed Bojack too!! I will never forgive you!!!" She yelled as Cell chuckled to himself
"So? You seem to be heartbroken over the deaths of those fools. Tell me what is it that they have done to you? All the nice things that they have ever done for you?" Cell said as Zangya was quiet. Cell slowly flew towards her
"I've noticed this before, but not a single one of those people treated you with respect, especially not your idiotic leader. So why do you suffer over their deaths? Is it because you thought you had a purpose? Oh please what purpose could you ever possibly have with some useless pirates?" Cell asked as Zangya gasped at the truth
"I believe that you will grow to be a wonderful warrior. One who will make a real name herself. You will find your own purpose. So, unless you truly want to join your comrades, I suggest you back down while you still have a chance." Cell finished, and then he turned his back towards her as he flew away
Turles let go of Zangya's hand. She stood completely still in the air. He flew to face her, and saw an emotionless expression
"She finally realized it as well huh. I guess that's the first step, if anything." Turles thought to himself as he recalled the first time he turned against the Saiyans. He realized that his sole purpose in the army was simply to be another weapon of destruction, and nothing more. Once he did that he revolted, and the rest is history
Turles tugged Zangya by her arm as the two floated towards the others, Zangya only barely registering what was happening
"So, what have you been up to?" 13 asked Cell as he chuckled
"Oh just taking care of an old problem. Now, shall we?" He said as he floated towards the panel on the side of the hill, and opened the hidden door
The group entered inside, Turles lightly pulling Zangya's arm still. The group walked towards a large room, with a strange device that took up a large portion of space. In front of it was 16 and 21, both of which looking at a blueprint. The machine had a few missing pieces, and it was blocky with many exposed wires
"Ah, 21, glad to see you're hard at work." Cell said as both 16 and 21 turned to see the group
"What are those two doing here?" 21 demanded as she walked forward
"They came with me, figured you could do something with 'em." 13 said as Turles walked forward
"Greetings, I believe we can both benefit greatly from each other in the future." Turles said as he bowed slightly
"Oh spare me. You just can't leave because your ships were destroyed." 21 said offhandedly as Turles smirked. Being the leader of the RR means that you get used to people attempting to pleaser you for power
"It seems you caught me. But yes my friend and I are trapped on this planet." Turles said as he regarded Zangya, who seemed a little spaced out
"Fine, it's not like building a spaceship will be hard. Cell, what have you been doing all this time? I'm guessing it was something important." 21 asked as she observed the large amount of scratches and cuts on him. Cell only smiled
"Oh me? Well, if you must know I killed off the Saiyans, as well as Androids 17 and 18." Cell said proudly as everyone around was surprised, 21 being the most surprised
"...You. Did. WHAT!" She yelled as Cell smirked
"I killed most of the Z team. Now your plan can be carried out without a problem." Cell said as 21 was furious
"You...IDIOT!! HOW DARE YOU RUIN MY FOOD!!" She yelled as everyone in the room was surprised as well as confused
"I wanted to turn those warriors into delicious snacks!! The most delicious snacks ever!! And you ruined it!!" 21 yelled in a strange fury as Cell suddenly began to laugh, which stopped 21 from yelling further
"What! What is so funny?!" She demanded as Cell calmed down, but couldn't stop chuckling
"Hahahaha!! Oh, oh my sides! Sorry for laughing but... Bahah!! I just didn't take you for the insane type!! Hahahaha!" Cell said as he continued laughing, to 21's anger. She walked forward and held a blade of dark purple Ki towards his neck
"You better have a solution for this! Or I swear I will unmake you!" 21 threatened as Cell continued to chuckle
"Oh don't get your lab coat in a twist. I'll just get the Dragonballs." Cell said as 21 put down her blade
"Good, now get to it before I kill you." 21 said as Cell waved her off
"Sure you will." Cell said as he walked out of the room, still chuckling to himself
"That idiot is lucky he was made so well it's hard to kill him." 21 remarked as she dissipated her blade. She turned to look at the others, who were in a minor shock, minus 13, 14 and 15
"What? Get out of here already." 21 said as she dismissed everyone
"This is so interesting I just have to see how this pans out now!" Cell thought to himself as he flew towards the energy of Chocolata and Prestina, who most likely had what he was looking for
"She said she wanted to what now?" Goten asked in confusion
"Your guess is as good as mine kid. But I know what I heard." King Kai said as everyone looked confused
"So wait, does this mean Cell is going to revive us? Why would he do that?" Goku questioned aloud
"Because he's too interested to back down now. I'd say we should all get ready for what's to come." Vegeta said as everyone nodded
"I still can't believe that nice lady was a bad guy." Kid Trunks remarked as everyone turned to look at him
"What?" He asked as everyone simply waved their heads
"That was established a lot earlier." Gohan thought to himself
Prestina and Chocolata flew around as they followed the radar. Soon they had two Dragonballs, and they were following the next. They flew with haste as they could sense Cell's ki on the move, but suddenly disappear out of no where
"You think we can get them before he does something?" Chocolata asked as Prestina waved her head
"No, not at all. But I'm not sure what he's going to do." She replied as they neared the third ball. However, when they neared it they felt a strange presence. It felt like that of Vegeta, but not quite
Soon they saw Vegeta in the distance, with his clothing badly damaged. This surprised the two by a lot, as they saw Vegeta die before their eyes before
"V-Vegeta?!? How are you still alive?!?" Prestina asked as he flew close
"No time to explain! Give me the dragon radar and the Dragonballs, I'll take it from here. You two go and distract Cell." He said as Chocolata waved her head
"No, answer the question. How did you survive?" She said as she held the Dragonball in her hand tightly. Something about this was just...wrong
"Fine! If you must know Kakarot and I managed to teleport away. He's with Bulma and the others." He said as the two nodded along
"...ok then. Here's the radar." Prestina said as she passed him the dragon radar, as well as the brown pouch that held a Dragonball
When he grabbed it however, he smirked as he laughed out loud, surprising the two
"What's the matter with you Vegeta?" Prestina said as Chocolata got into a fighting position
"That's not Vegeta!! It's Cell!!" A voice said as a ball of ki flew towards Vegeta, blowing dust everywhere
Just then Piccolo and Krillin flew into the scene
"But how?" Prestina asked as the laughing changed slowly. It converted from Vegeta's voice into Cell's as the dust settled. Slowly, Vegeta's body began to visibly harden and change colors. The clothes also turned into a green color, and the hair hardened as well. Slowly the body was transformed to look like Perfect Cell
"Oh the look on your faces!! I just had to try this trick I learned some time back. Being able to control every cell of your body is such an amazing ability!!" Cell said as he stretched his muscles. He was able to copy Vegeta's voice easily using another feature he was equipped with, and he could morph his body to look like Vegeta's. However the hardest part was channeling the ki signature to feel like his. Even then it wasn't perfect, but it will get better if he practices
"What do you want Cell!! Are you here to finish the job?!" Krillin questioned
"Oh no. I'm simply here for that." Cell said as he pointed towards the Dragonball in Chocolata's hand
"You think we will give it to you without a fight?" Piccolo asked as he took a fighting stance
Suddenly however, Cell appeared behind Piccolo and punched the Namekian's neck, slamming him to the floor
"Yes, I believe so, unless you want to die in vain that is." Cell said as Krillin rushed forward to punch Cell, only for Cell's tail stretch to smack him away
Cell turned towards Chocolata and flew towards her, who was frozen in fear at seeing the fighters taken out so quickly
"I'll be taking this now. But don't worry about your friends. I'll be bringing them back." Cell said as he simply grabbed the ball in her hand. He then flew away as everyone looked defeated
"We're doomed." Chocolata said as she looked off to the horizon
After the small event, Cell quickly managed to grab all the balls. Granted he was weakened, but his raw speed was still enough for him to get around. By the time he got the last ball, it was the middle of the day for 21 and the others
Cell flew into the hideout with the seven Dragonballs in the pouch. He immediately saw 13 lazing around, along with 15 and Turles
"Hey Cell. You got the Dragonballs?" 13 asked as Cell nodded
"Good, 21 is in the main room." He waved off as he went back to lazily sitting down on the couch
Cell walked towards the large room from before to see 21, 16 and 14 standing in the room. The machine that was being worked on looked complete
As Cell entered the room 21 and the other Androids turned to look at him
"So, what do you have planned? I must know if you are really that crazy." Cell asked 21 as she smirked
"Well, now that you asked I plan to revive the stupid Saiyans that YOU killed. Then I plan to activate this machine, which I have edited to suppress every high power level on Earth. Then I plan to attack them as they helplessly try to defend themselves!!" 21 quickly explained as Cell nodded along. It was a simple plan, which means it was the best one
"I see. Last I checked the machine worked using a soul linking system. Those who have a linked soul have more control over their powers. Did you do anything with that?" Cell asked as 21 chuckled
"Oh that's a stupid concept. Still I couldn't afford to mess with it so it simply remains untested." She said as Cell chuckled
"You should prepare it the off chance something goes wrong." He warned as 21 looked frustrated. He knew several people who didn't have a plan B when things went south
"I don't have a lot of patience Cell! Now, let's go summon the dragon so that I can begin the feast!!!" She exclaimed as she was incredibly impatient at this point, having her goal mere inches away from her
"Very well then, let's get going." Cell said as he walked away from the room, and outside the hideout. He was followed by 21, 16, 13, 14, 15, Turles, and Zangya, who appeared from nowhere
Cell opened the pouch and placed the Dragonballs in the order that they must be placed. When they were all in position, Cell yelled to the bright sky
"Come forth Shenron! And grant me my wish!!" He yelled as the balls began to glow. Before long the great dragon bursted from the Dragonballs, and darkening the sky
"You who have summoned the great Shenron, make your wish?" Shenron yelled as Cell looked up
"Shenron! Revive all those who have died by the hands of Saiyan blood!! As well as those who have died by my hands!!" Cell yelled as there was a moment of silence, before the dragon replied
"That is beyond my power, there are far too many who have died by the hands of Saiyans." Shenron boomed
"Then revive all those who you can!!" Cell said as there was yet another moment of silence
"Your wish has been granted, now make your final wish!" Shenron said as Cell thought about his last wish
"Collect all those who have been recently revived, and scatter them across this planet!!" He yelled, followed by yet another moment of silence
"It has been done." Shenron said as he turned into a bright yellow light that scattered across Earth
"Hey! What was that for!" 21 said as she eyed Cell for making the last wish
"Well that way it's just more fun, not to mention those who have died off planet." Cell said simply as 21 backed down
"Fine. Now it's time to turn on the machine." 21 said as she walked towards the room that held the machine. However she had this slightly empty feeling in her stomach, as if something was wrong. But she paid very little attention to it
The group walked into the room that held the machine. With a simple press of a button, the machine activated, making a loud mechanical wirring noise before subsiding
"There, and with that the drones shall also be released soon." 21 said
"Drones? You never mentioned drones." Cell said as 21 waved him off
"They're just some cheap look alikes of you and the Saiyans. They won't even be worth much." 21 said, however she then felt very light headed, as if her soul was disappearing
"What is it 21?" 16 asked before 21 fell to the ground unconscious
A/N: So, what did you think? I tried to fit in as much as I could for this chapter but to be honest there isn't much I can do besides getting the main points across. Anyway thanks for reading and I'll see you again soon!
