Chapter 22, Sudden Change in Plans

A/N: Hey guys! So this chapter features the plot of FightersZ cause...well I really liked 21 ok! Anyway it will have it's twists as well as a setup for something that I truly believe you all will enjoy! So stick around for that. Otherwise, here is Chapter 22!

21 was barely conscious as her soul was slowly changing. The blackness in her soul slowly shifted and eventually disappeared further within her as 21 could barely hear a thing, nor could she remember what lead up to this moment as her soul threatened to rip apart for no known reason

"...Hey...is she...who knows...get her to the..." 21 heard in spaces as she could feel her body being picked up by someone

After half a minute 21 could feel her body be set down onto a cold metal table. A strange mask was connected to her face, and she was connected by a few wires that poked her skin

"This might help her...no choice...what can we lose..?" 21 heard before she felt something enter her very being. Something invaded her body, and it was strange and unfamiliar, yet warm and pleasant

After a few seconds 21 passed out cold, throwing her out of the land of the living as she rested


21 later awoke to see a large green bug-like creature standing besides a wall. Next to him was someone who was in a strange green outfit, and looked very familiar

"G-Gebo?" She said oddly as she slowly got up from the table, her head in slight pain. Besides her was a strange square machine with a few wires on it, as well as an odd mask that hung lazily over it

"Greetings 21. You have finally awoken." Gebo said as he walked forward

"21? What do you mean?" She said as the bug-like man perked up. He stared at her for a second before looking at Gebo with a frown

"16, ask her a few questions." The man said as Gebo turned around to face 21

"Very well. 21, what is my name?" Gebo said as she looked very confused

"It's Gebo? What else would it be?" 21 said as she looked around the empty room. There was a white door a couple of feet in front of her, and to her left there was a one way mirror

"What...is this place?" She said as Gebo frowned

"I see what you mean Cell. 21, what is the last thing you remember?" Gebo said as 21 tried to recall her memories

"Well...I remember the army appointed me as their leader after the fall. Then some time later I was turned into an Android in an experiment. But a few minutes ago we found a new source of DNA. I planned on reworking myself...and then it all goes blank." 21 said as the green man chuckled

"Of course! She lost her memories as well. She probably doesn't remember much after she was tampered with." He said as he walked a few feet forward

"Then allow me to introduce myself. My name is Cell, and I am one of Gero's creations. A being comprised of all of the greatest warriors. I'm sure you have heard of me." Cell said as he did his signature bow

21 didn't recall him. She did however, recall hearing that her husband wanted to create a being made up of many different people

"Guess he really did make that a reality." She thought

"This right here is Android 16, a mere copy of the once Gebo." Cell continued as he put a hand over 16's shoulder

"Wait you're not...oh right...he died." 21 said sadly. How could she have forgotten? Gebo died in an explosion on one of the more important bases of the RR, she read the report

"So, with that out of the way we should catch you up to speed." Cell said as he cleared out his throat

"You see currently we are in the middle of one of your plans. You activated a machine that suppresses power levels. We also revived every warrior that has ever died, and scattered them across the globe. Every new invader that has ever showed up is currently causing mayhem as we speak, and we even sent drones to do the same too." Cell quickly recapped as 21 was surprised

"I did all that?" She asked as Cell smirked

"With my help, of course." Cell said

"With that in mind, what is our next course of action?" 16 questioned blankly

"I-I don't know. Just a second ago I was in a room full of scientists and now I'm here." 21 said in confusion

"Might I suggest reverting your past actions? We could save this world from soon to be chaos. With the amount of villains revived this planet will surly fall without interference." 16 said as Cell chuckled

"You say that because you still like this planet. Not to mention Bulma had changed your priorities." Cell said as 16 stared at Cell

"My priorities may be changed, but I am still under orders from 21." He defended himself as Cell sighed

"Well whatever you chose I'll be there to help." Cell offered 21 as 16 eyed him with a confused expression

21 was stuck in thought as she took in the information. Not only had she missed out on so much but she was in the middle of a crisis. She had to do something if she wanted to keep Earth intact

"...We'll reverse everything." 21 finally declared as Cell sighed in defeat

"Very well then. 16, check the machine to see if you can do anything. I seriously doubt 21 will be able to do much at the moment." Cell said as 16 nodded along. 16 walked out of the hallway, followed by Cell, who stopped as he opened the door

"Oh and by the way, I forgot to mention a small detail." Cell said as 21 perked up

"What is it?" She asked

"You see in an attempt to stop your soul from ripping apart we implemented a foreign soul into your own. You might want to mess with that." Cell said as he finally left the room, leaving 21 in minor shock

"A foreign soul?" 21 questioned aloud as she tried to sense her ki. She wasn't really good at it, since the only thing that changed was her power. Because of that she was forced to learn ki control on her own, with no prior knowledge of it

She searched herself, and felt and odd sense. It was just as Cell said, it was different, and clearly not her own

The soul felt warm, and compassionate, as well as fearful. It was unable to communicate, but 21 could feel it's warmth within her

"How interesting. Hello there." 21 thought as she could feel that the soul was startled. However it began to feel warmer and calmer

The soul began to shift and change in feelings. In a sense it was communicating with 21, but not with words, rather, with feelings and expression

"I see. Well I'm just now regaining my memories. Maybe you could help me stop this?" 21 thought as the soul glowed fiercely

"Good, then let's fix this." 21 thought with determination as she got up from the table and left the room


Cell left the room after finally talking with 21. She has been passed out for a few minutes, but he knew that it was enough for the villains and heroes to gain their bearings and form plans

Although he didn't personally like 21's decision, he didn't feel like going against her. After all, this was her plan to begin with, even if she doesn't recall it

"Maybe this isn't such a bad thing. Being a Good Samaritan and saving a planet from chaos isn't on my list of things to do, but it isn't in my list of things not to do either." Cell thought to himself as he walked down the hallway. He had already done what he had always wanted to do, so he really had no other goals in life to complete. This was something that he would rather worry about later

When he entered the living room he saw the rest of the group. 13 sat on the couch watching T.V along with 15. Turles sat on a table next to the T.V and tapped his fingers on the table slowly. Next to him was Zangya, who had her head over her arms in a bored expression. 14 stood at the corner, staring into space

When Cell entered the room, 13 noticed him, as well as 14

"So, what's up with the boss?" 13 questioned casually as Cell stood next to a wall, watching the T.V as well. The program that was displayed was, ironically, the manufacturing of cellular devices

"Well not only did we save 21 from getting her soul ripped apart, she also lost her memories." Cell said as 13 chuckled

"Of course. What else would have happened. What she say?" 13 asked

"Well she ordered us to revert what she has done. 16 is checking on the machine to see if he can shut it down." Cell said as 13 sighed. This sudden change of plans was strange, but 13 was in no position to complain, his orders are to follow 21's every word

"Well, least we don't have to worry 'bout that no more." He said as he continued looking at the T.V

"Now we don't have to worry about her eating us, or whatever she was talking about earlier." Zangya remarked

"And you Cell? What are you going to do?" Turles questioned Cell as he smirked

"What else am I going to do? I'm going to help of course." Cell said as Zangya looked a little surprised. Everyone else looked amused, except for 14, of course

"Huh, I never took you for the compassionate type." 13 remarked

"Well I don't consider myself one either, but leaving now wouldn't feel right, not when I haven't seen what follows." Cell confessed as 21 walked into the room as well, although slightly confused as she looked at everyone

"Right I forgot." Cell said as he walked over next to 21

"The tall man next to the wall is Android 14. The two on the couch are 13 and 15. The two on the table are our guests, Turles and Zangya." Cell said as he motioned towards everyone as he called out their names

"So, what are we going to do?" 15 asked as 21 looked around, the place looked a little different than before. The couch was brown instead of red, and it was facing the T.V, which looked much bigger than before. Guess she redecorated some time ago

"Oh, we are going to reverse what I have done and save the Earth." 21 said simply and with a smile, which surprised virtually everyone in the room

"Huh, that simple is it? Well guess I can't complain." 13 remarked as 16 entered the room as well, bearing a frown

"We have a problem." He stated as 13 chuckled

"Knew it." He said to himself as he continued watching the T.V

"What is it?" 21 asked as she looked oddly at 16. He really did look like Gebo

"The protocol will not shut down. I have looked further and found that there are a few other Machines set across the world, each one set by separate means. The drones that were sent are also independent, requiring us to destroy each one personally." 16 said as Cell laughed

"I knew you were smarter than that. It seems everything has been set in the off chance that someone would attempt to rewrite everything once it began." Cell said as he turned towards 21

"So, you're the person in charge. What are your orders?" Cell asked in an amused tone as 21 looked pensive. She wasn't yet used to giving orders, but she didn't really have much of a choice

"...Well if there are more consoles, then we should find them and deactivate them. From there we can band together and destroy the drones." 21 said as Cell nodded

"A fair plan. We can begin by destroying the one we have." Cell concluded as he simply walked over to the other room, with 21 and 16 in tow

When they entered, Cell prepared a large ball of ki, and launched it towards the machine

However, there was a large barrier that was released as the ball neared, dissipating it

"Well that is rather unfortunate." Cell said. He had also forgotten that he was fairly spent by his battle, though he was slowly recovering

"What is it?" 21 asked as she looked at Cell worriedly

"It seems that there is a barrier that was placed to protect the machine. This wouldn't be a problem if my full power wasn't restricted by said machine." Cell explained as he walked closer to the machine with a ball of ki at hand. As he walked closer as the barrier flickered to life as the ball of ki shrank, and eventually dissipated

"16, can you deactivate the machine by yourself?" Cell asked as 16 nodded

"It is possible, but it will take time." He responded

"Good to know. You stay here while we go on an adventure." Cell said as 16 nodded again. Cell walked towards 21

"So, while 16 stays here we can go off and deactivate the other devices." Cell said as both of the Androids walked out of the room and into the living room once more

"14, do you have the coordinates of the other machines?" Cell asked as the Android responded

"There are three others. I have set coordinates for each one." 14 said as his eyes flashed red

"Great, then we are ready." Cell said as he turned towards the other two in the room

"I take it both of you will come along as well?" Cell asked the Heran and the Saiyan

"If it will get us faster to making our ships, then yes." Turles said as he and Zangya stood up from their chairs

"Great, then we are off." Cell said as 13 turned off the T.V and stood up, along with 15

14, who was standing next to the panel, opened the door and began the course towards the closet machine, almost immediately followed by 13 and 14. Behind them were Turles and Zangya. However 21 had trouble getting off the ground

"Is there a problem?" Cell asked as 21 looked a little ashamed

"I...forgot how to fly." She said as she looked down in shame. While she was with the army, she never had to use her ki powers, much less flying

"Wow, I can't believe they gave the upgrade to the non-ki user. Still, her smarts more than make up for it." Cell thought

"Hm, well that is a shame. But I guess I'll have to teach you." Cell said as he walked in front of 21 unexpectedly

"Pay attention because this is a rough process. First, feel the ki inside your body." Cell said as 21 closed her eyes and felt her soul. She also felt the other soul within her, which was very docile. It was also alert, as if listening to what Cell was saying

"Good, now try and send it outwards. Release a portion of it onto the space around you." Cell said as 21 followed the directions. It was a little hard, but she managed to send her ki outwards, creating a faint pink aura around her

"Now channel it around your body, and mold it into what you want." Cell directed

It took a few seconds, but 21 soon began to float slightly over the ground, to her own surprise

"Wow, I forgot how this feels..." She said as she dashed around the room in the air. Cell began to float as well

"You're a quick learner. Anyway we should get going. By the way if you fall, I'll be sure to catch you." Cell said teasingly as 21 flew out of the room. When she did Cell closed the door using the outside panel board

"Thank you, Cell." 21 said with a very warm and genuine smile that momentarily took Cell aback, before he smirked

"You are welcome, now we should hurry if you want to fix this." Cell said as he began to fly away, with 21 close behind


Prestina and Chocolata were currently guarding Capsule Corporation, as they expected the worst from Cell. In the distance, the sky was black for a moment, before something unexpected happened

When the sky cleared up, several power levels could be felt across the globe. Many of them were recognized as the Z team, but many were also unrecognizable

"What did he do?" Prestina questioned aloud in surprise

"I don't know, and I don't like it." Chocolata replied

Suddenly, they felt a tinge of pain as they could feel their ki being forcibly restricted, almost stripped away. As this happened there were hundreds, maybe thousands of artificial ki souls that were felt across the globe. These drone-like souls scattered and eventually covered the world

"Guys!!" Bulma said as she bursted out the doors of the building

"What is it?" Prestina questioned as Bulma motioned them to enter, to which they did

The trio arrived at the lab of the building, with Lamp and Caramela waiting in the room

"Something big just happened!" Bulma said as she pointed at the map. On it there were a few blue dots across the globe, which created a small pinging effect. However, there were several red dots that covered the map, some of which covered a few figures that represented cities. More importantly there were groups of red dots that surrounded most of the blue dots

"What is this?" Chocolata asked

"It's a map of the world! The blue dots are the rest of the team, and the red dots seem to be robotic. Point is, Cell revived the team! But he also revived a bunch of others!!" Bulma said in a panicked state as the map displayed a few different images, each one being a villain that has died over the years. From Napa, all the way to Majin Buu, who didn't have an image, but just a named profile

"What?!? Why would he do that?!?" Prestina exclaimed

"I don't know, but we have to regroup. Both of you have to get to our friends before something bad happens." Bulma ordered as Prestina and Chocolata nodded, and exited the room, however Bulma stopped them

"Hey, wait for me!" Bulma said as she ran into another room

"Both of our girls have to deal with so much! Why is this place so chaotic?" Caramela asked herself as she saw her daughters leave the room

Both Majins left the building and waited for Bulma. However after a few seconds of waiting there was a deep rumbling that came from the inside of the building

The rumbling continued for a few seconds before a small ship flew through the empty space in the glass dome on top of the building. It was sphere shaped, with the top half being a glass dome. The bottom half was yellow with blue, and it also had a few giant light bulbs that were off. The inside was spacious, and there was a single tiny console inside. In front of that was Bulma, controlling the ship

"Figured I should give this a test before I put it in a capsule! Get in!" The speakers blared as a section of the glass opened

Prestina and Chocolata flew inside before the glass dome closed

"Who do we get first?" Chocolata asked

"Who ever is closest." Bulma said as the ship flew towards the energy of Goten and Trunks, who were near a city


A couple of minutes had passed since the group left the hideout. So far they had passed nothing of interest

"So, what have you modified?" Cell questioned 21. The two had been talking about a few things, mainly 21 talking about her life experience while the group listened

"Well...the only thing that changed is that I can manipulate Ki, although I haven't really learned how. I can also breathe in space, but that's all there is to it." 21 answered

"It seems Gero really was miles ahead of everyone else. Without him there aren't many proper upgrades." Cell thought before he remembered something

"You said that you found a new part to add for your body before you forgot everything. What was that part?" Cell asked as 21 tried to recall

"Well, we had a drone that followed the Z team around. From there it collected a foreign alien sample. The race was known by others as Majin." She said as she remembered everything

Cell looked like he was a deep state of thought. He had a flash of images go through his mind as it showed Majin Buu, in his fat form before turning into the evil slim freak that died

"Maybe that is the answer to 21's change in attitude... but it still doesn't explain why 21's soul attempted to rip apart." Cell thought as 21 looked at him

"Why? Is something wrong?" 21 asked as Cell shook his head

"No, nothing. Just one more question. If you say you have Frieza's DNA, can you change forms?" He asked as 21 seemed stumped

"Hm... I don't know. I haven't tampered with my body at all. All I can tell is that I can get a boost after nearly dying, but I haven't tried that yet." 21 said

"Hm, then I suppose now would be the time to discover that." Cell said as 21 looked surprised

"What do you mean by that?" She asked as Cell chuckled

"With so many threats at large, it would be obvious to assume we would get into a few fights." Cell said. As if on que a city appeared over the horizon. However it was under attack. Several drones were seen flying around as they shot blasts of ki that destroyed buildings

"Huh, I didn't think they were programmed to attack cities." 13 said aloud as the group stopped for a short second to see the chaos

"Why would I do this..." 21 asked herself as the soul inside of her felt anger

"I'm guessing it would be to distract the Z team while you were to attack." Cell said as he turned to face 21

"So, shall we keep going?" Cell asked, knowing fully what the response would be

"...No. We have to help!" She said as Cell nodded

"Fine then, but you should know that it won't be easy." He said as 13, 14 and 15 began their assault, while Turles and Zangya reluctantly followed

"I know, but we can't let these people suffer!" 21 said as she dashed towards the scene

"That woman is noble indeed." Cell thought to himself as he quickly followed near by

Once the Android trio entered, they took the drones by surprise as they attacked them. Turles and Zangya weren't as lucky however, as they were almost immediately targeted by a clump of drones

21 dashed towards a drone that looked like Goku, in his Super Saiyan form. However it wore a black gi, with a red undershirt, his skin was a little discolored, and his hair didn't glow

21 immediately punched the drone, only for nothing to happen. Moreover her hand felt like it was on the verge of breaking as 21 exclaimed in pain

The drone turned to look at 21, with it's eyes flashing red before it dashed forward towards her

However Cell suddenly came in and grabbed the drone's outstretched arm. He then spun around and threw the drone towards the air

"Weaponize! Your ki!" Cell advised as he dashed after the drone he recently threw upwards

Wasting no time at all 21 attempted to outpour her ki. She watched as a light pink aura flickered to life around her

However the soul inside of her reacted strangely. It seemed to consume her as more ki was poured outwards. The soul also seemed to control her movements as she involuntarily dashed towards a drone that looked like imperfect Cell

21 punched the unsuspecting drone, this time sending the drone many yards away. The drones around noticed, and began to dash towards 21 as the soul moved her body to attack the drones


Bulma and the Majin sisters arrived at the location they were sent towards. It was nearly the other side of the world, causing the sun to set on the horizon

When they arrived the were surrounded by a small forest, but in a small patch of empty space were Goten and Trunks, surrounded by what appeared to be Goku and Vegeta in their Super Saiyan forms and wearing dark clothing, and hunching over as they watched the kids

"Be careful, we don't know what they are capable of." Bulma said as the dome opened, allowing Prestina and Chocolata to leave the ship

"I'll take Goku and you take Vegeta." Prestina whispered as Chocolata nodded. The two quickly dashed through the air

Prestina and Chocolata immediately punched the two drones at full force, however their power seemed to be greatly limited, causing the drones to only stumble a few feet away

The two drones then turned around and began their attack. The Goku drone began the offensive as he dashed forward and attempted several punches and kicks. The Vegeta drone backed further and shot several ki blasts

The sisters prevailed however, as Prestina managed to throw a punch in the middle of dodging, and Chocolata sent a power ball of ki that interrupted Vegeta's firing

"We have to take on one at a time!" Chocolata said as she dashed towards the Goku drone, who attempted to block the punch. However Prestina punched the drone as Chocolata changed attacks and kicked the drone away

The Vegeta drone dashed forwards and attempted to attack Chocolata, only for Prestina to shoot the drone down. Chocolata followed the Goku drone as she used her blade of ki to slash at the drone

However when the blade made contact it cut down an unexpectedly small amount of the synthetic skin

Chocolata decided to then grab the drone by the head and throw it towards Prestina, who immediately kicked the drone back to her sister

Chocolata finished by pinning the drone down onto his stomach, and then holding the blade over the drone's neck. Slowly the blade cut through the synthetic skin, and before long the head detached from the rest of it's body

Chocolata then attempted to dash towards the Vegeta drone's back, only for a hand to grab her leg and hold her down

Chocolata looked to see that the Goku drone was headless, but still grabbing onto her leg

"This thing doesn't give up!" She said as she shot a ball of ki down the hole where the head used to be. It entered the body, and soon blew up the rest of it

Prestina was under attack by the Vegeta drone as it dashed after her. The drone attempted to lung at her, only for Prestina to step to the side and get behind it to deliver a kick to it's back

She followed up by punching the drone's back a few times before sweeping it off it's feet and grabbing it by it's head. Prestina then slammed the drone on it's front behind her, and backed away as the drone tried to recover

"Kamehameha!" She yelled as she cupped her hands and sent a blue beam towards the drone. The Vegeta drone only managed to stand and face Prestina as it was showered in light

The light soon melted off the drone's front half, revealing a burned skeleton like machine

Prestina huffed as she dissipated the beam. The Vegeta drone however, stood still, before taking a step forwards

Just then Chocolata came by and blasted the exposed center of the drone, blowing it to pieces

"These robots are strong, but I guess they have some weakness." Chocolata said as she flew towards the kids, along with Prestina

The two then grabbed Goten and Trunks as they flew towards Bulma's ship. When they entered Bulma looked a little worried

"Well? What happened?" She asked as she pressed a button on the console, making a table appear inside the ship

"The things were strong. We managed to defeat them but not without some effort." Prestina said as the two set down the young hybrids

"Damn. Then we really have to go after the rest." Bulma said as the dome closed before the ship began to move towards the next closest ally, Future Trunks

In the distance, a helpless city was slowly thrown further into chaos as several drones attacked it


It was a long and hard fought battle, but in the end, 21 and the group won as the final drone, that looked like Frieza and lacked one arm, was brutally pierced through the chest by Cell

"There we go, that's the last of them." Cell said as he regenerated his right arm. The drones had managed to gang up and rip his arm off during the conflict, just before he destroyed them with a burning shield of ki that melted them away

21 felt the soul retract as she could finally move her body once more. She was surprised by her ability to easily destroy a great portion of the drones, although she felt very tired. She wasted too much ki during the battle

13, 14 and 15 came out with a few scratches as they mainly attacked one drone at a time as a group. It was slow, but an effective strategy

Cell also destroyed a grand portion of the drones as he used crafty methods such as ki blades and piercing ki blasts to wipe out many of the drones. He even used his mental powers to rip apart a few. However he did have a few scratches, as well as the missing limb that was now regenerated

Turles and Zangya were the worst off as Turles had a wound on his forehead that bled quite a bit. His battle armor was very much gone, leaving him with shorts, boots, and a very small piece of armor that he promptly threw away

Zangya had rips and tears over her clothing, though nothing revealing. She also was bleeding a little from her mouth. The drones had targeted Turles, because of his Saiyan blood. Zangya was also fairly weak, causing the drones to be more work and ultimately more painful to deal with

"Are you alright?" Zangya asked Turles as the two huffed in fatigue

"I'll live." He said as the two smirked at each other, both warriors admiring how well they did in battle

"Are you hurt?" Cell asked as he floated to check on 21. With her being inexperienced, Cell mainly stayed close to her as he attracted attention from her to himself. However he saw that she almost easily wiped down the drones, although not once did he see a ki attack being used

"Yeah, my arm hurts a little though." 21 said as she rubbed her right arm that she damaged from her earlier carelessness

"You have to learn how to use ki attacks." Cell lectured as the two floated above the city, followed by Turles and Zangya in the distance. And finally the Android trio floated upwards as everyone looked to see the destruction

Although the city was badly damaged, it wasn't anything past broken concrete, broken domes and a few fallen buildings

"We shouldn't do that again." Zangya pleaded as she held her left arm tightly, there was a good amount of blood on it

"Those stupid drones are persistent." Turles said in between huffs

"Speak for yourselves!" 15 said with a smirk as he brought out his flask to drink. However he was greatly upset to find out that the bottle had broken during the battle, and the pocket it was kept in was burned. This caused 13, Turles and Zangya to burst into laughter

21 however, felt a great amount of guilt and regret at seeing everyone in a bad state. She was certain that the drones were weak, and that everyone could destroy them easily

Cell noticed that 21 looked upset, and promptly decided to switch moods

"Well that was a greatly informational battle. Now we know what we are facing and we shall be able to counter them." Cell said aloud as everyone perked up

"But we should really get going." Cell said simply as he motioned to 14, who flashed his red eyes before flying away, followed by everyone in the group

"21, I noticed that the soul had decided to take initiative. Very very brave indeed." Cell said as he turned to look at her. The soul inside 21 felt flattered and a little proud

"It says thanks!" 21 said as she smiled at Cell, who smiled back

"You are very welcome honored guest. However I should begin to explain a little more about ki manipulation before you make a bad mistake." Cell said as he then began to talk up a storm for 21. He explained the basics and slowly moved up the ladder
