Chapter 6 The MC Universe History Part 3

(This story is almost but not completely finished so the ending is my guess of how the story will end, if the real continuation is significantly different I'll do a rewrite one day)

Bulma was shocked to say the least by Krillin's request, "w..why Krillin? That's crazy!". "Because I need to get stronger" Krillin said seriously, "and my human body can't keep up with Goten anymore and he needs to get stronger to beat Cell, I have a feeling he will return soon and Goten won't be strong enough just doing training by himself, so for the sake of humanity I need to give up mine". Bulma was still apprehensive but saw what Krillin was saying. "Alright I'll do it" Bulma agreed with a heavy heart.

One year later

Somewhere in the outer edge of earth's solar system a Capsule Corp satellite picks up a disturbing development from a few light years away. New Namek had been destroyed. The guardian of the earth Dende has also sensed his home world's destruction, after getting over his grief he turned to Mr Popo, "alert the others, I think Cell is coming back to end us" Dende ordered grimly. A few hours later Goten showed up the lookout. "Hey Dende what's up, I heard from Puar that I needed to get up here as soon as possible?". "Yes Goten its serious, head into the Chamber, Krillin's waiting for you in there" Dende said firmly with a quick tone in his voice. Goten headed into the Time Chamber where he indeed found Krillin waiting for him though it was obvious right from the start he was different somehow and now sported a cape. "Uh Krillin are you ok?, you seem troubled, Dende did too when I arrived" Goten asked. "That's because Cell might be coming back" Krillin said, "Dende sensed that he blew up New Namek and is heading towards earth". "What?!" Goten shouted in shock before anger came on his face and balled his hands into fists, "I'm ready!, I'll take him down!". "I like that your taking this seriously Goten, however you're not quite strong enough and you need greater maturity, I'm gonna show you just how much farther you need to go" Krillin stated. "Uh how are you gonna do that?, I surpassed you already" goten said arrogantly. "I'm a whole different person now" Krillin said wistfully. "Heh dude a cape and a frown don't make you different per- gah!" Goten couldn't finish as Krillin elbowed him in the stomach, knocking him out instantly. "That should give you enough motivation, here's a gravity room", Krillin said as he walked away from Goten's unconscious body tossing a capsule containing the aforementioned training asset before exiting the chamber. Approximately twenty three hours later, everyone's fears were confirmed when Cell's ki signature popped up on earth and seconds later a city disappeared from the face of the planet. "This is bad!" Bulma said, she, Roshi, Krillin, Puar, Oolong and Chi Chi had gathered at the lookout for safety. "I'll go down there and try and stall him until Goten gets out in one hour" Krillin said determined, flying off to face the monster one last time. Within minutes he spotted Cell hovering over his handy work. "Ah a welcoming committee" Cell said spotting Krillin. "I must say I'm surprised your here to see me, is this bravery or are you just in a hurry to rejoin your old friends?" Cell asked with a taunting tone. "Why are you here Cell?!" Krillin asked angrily. "I've had an epiphany as of late", Cell answered coyly, "the dragon balls could be used to threaten my existence if someone with the intent was to get ahold of them, so I've decided to destroy any world with a set and unfortunately for you, that includes earth". "Hmph" Krillin huffed throwing off the cape he'd been wearing, "We'll see about that". Krillin got into a battle stance while cell merely laughed at his actions. "Ha ha ha you can't stand one hit from me and you think you can do anything against m-ahh!" Cell gagged as Krillin punched him in the gut. Krillin then preceded to deliver a series of blows all over the surprised Cell's body before sending him down to the ground and firing a Kamehameha. For a moment it looked like Cell was gone, until the bug man floated back up out of the smoke looking physically unharmed, though his face showed wounded pride. "Not since Gohan as anyone hit me so hard" Cell hissed, "what happened to you human?, explain now!". "Human?" Krillin replied coolly, "I'm sorry you must be mistaken, you know Cell we're actually brothers now, we come from the same family". Cell's eyes widen in realization of what Krillin said before laughing yet again, "ha ha gave up your humanity in an attempt to best perfection? How pathetic, though perhaps now I can have a little more fun this time with you". For the next half hour Cell and Krillin battled fiercely with Cell slowly but surely gaining the upper hand. Soon Cell was pummeling Krillin with no mercy. Back at the lookout, the group had had been watching the fight through a TV with a robot bug spying on the fight and saw Krillin losing. "That's it!" Chi chi yelled in frustration, "we need to use the dragon balls and bring back Goku or Gohan and have them deal with Cell!". "No!", Roshi yelled back, "we can't rely on the dead to solve our problems, if we don't learn to take care of ourselves, it defeats the purpose of living, it's Krillin and Goten's turn to defend the earth!". "Grandpa Roshi's right" Goten's voice suddenly rang from the entrance. "We don't need the dragon balls I'm here now" Goten declared flying off to confront cell. Cell had pummeled Krillin into a bloody pulp barely clinging to life. "Ha ha so much for your little rebellion Krillin, I did enjoy myself though, I shall bestow upon you a warrior's death" Cell said with an evil chuckle raising his hand gathering ki preparing to finish the little monk off once and for all. "Hey ugly!" a child's voice rang out getting cell's attention. "Hm? Wha?!" Cell gasped as he spotted a child who bore a striking resemblance to Goku though his hair was stylized slightly differently. "Put Krillin down and fight me like a real warrior!", goten shouted with confidence. "Goku!? How is this possible!?" Cell asked flabbergasted. "I'm not Goku, I'm his son! Son Goten! Your reign of terror ends today Cell!". Cell continued staring at Goten in shock, then it morphed into an evil, crazed laughter. "This is truly my lucky day, first a much more entertaining Krillin and now a whole new challenger worthy of my perfection!" Cell bellowed out excitedly. "Very well, Son Goten" Cell said as he let Krillin go to fall to the ground, "let's see if you can give me what your daddy and bro couldn't before I send ya home to them!". "I intend to do more" Goten said quietly before screaming powering up. When he was finished he was now an ascended super saiyan 2, his aura flaming wildly, his teal eyes razor sharp and sparks of electricity all around him with a calm face. Cell was again shocked by the power emanating from the boy before again turning gleeful. "Yes Yes Yes! Come at me!" Cell ordered like a masochist on steroids. Goten obliged Cell's request rushing at the abomination with incalculable speed that the bio android couldn't follow punching him square in the jaw and then sending another fist into his stomach. Cell was sent flying onto a nearby mountain. After recovering he flew back up his bloody and now very angry looking face. "Alright boy! Cell yelled in anger, "time for you to see my full power!". Cell quickly powered up his aura looking similar to Goten's. "Ah so Goten what do you think of my full perfection?" Cell asked coyly. "That it? I'm not impressed" Goten said with a disappointed tone. "Not taking me seriously are we? Ok then maybe this will get you to focus!" Cell screamed as he lined his fist for a punch. He launched it, but then it was met by Goten's fist which completely shattered Cell's hand and part of his arm into pieces, his fist literally going through him. "Agh!" Cell screeched in agony looking at his punched through arm in shock and horror before looking back at Goten with true fear. "Oh but I am taking you seriously", Goten teased before his face hardened and eyes furrowed, "l'm playing no games". Goten demolished cell for a good five minutes, kicking, punching and taunting the bug man ramming him into the various landscapes they flew over. "I've had enough!", an extremely battered cell said shooting up from the crater Goten just made with him extremely angry. "I'll destroy you along with this damn planet! Kamehameha!" Cell yelled launching a beam identical to the one he used to kill Gohan third teen years ago. "Not if I have anything to say about it!" Goten yelled back as he fired back his own Kamehameha. The two beams fought for dominance. "Come on come on!" Goten wailed "I have to avenge all the people he's killed, I can't let him destroy everything, if that happens I'd lose it, everyone's counting on me and I won't let them down!". "Your not alone" Krillin's voice suddenly popped in from behind. "Krillin!" Goten said happily. "Let's finish this together, Kamehameha!", Krillin screamed combining his attack with Goten's. It was enough to put them on equal ground with Cell's but not to overpower it. "Give it all you got Goten! Kaioken times twenty!" Krillin screamed powering up to unseen levels. "I will! Aahhhh! Goten pushed his super saiyan 2 to its fullest and possibly beyond. Within seconds of doing this their beam overpowered and ate Cell's. "Nooo! This can't happen, I am perfection!!" Cell screeched as he was disintegrated by the attack. After the dust settled, Goten and Krillin hesitantly extend their senses to find any trace of Cell. They found none and the two couldn't be happier. "We did it!" they shouted in unison fist bumping. "They did it!" Everyone on the lookout shouted having seen the end hugging each other, happy the nightmare was over. Goten looked out to the horizon with the setting sun and thought, "Hope I made you proud father, I hope to see you one day, and then spar with you!".

Back to the Main timeline

"I'm an android?!" Main Krillin shouted in disbelief. "Yeah" MC Krillin said with a smile. The group had just finished seeing MC Goten's history and had reactions mixing with stunned silence, amazement and sheer awe except for scarred Goten and Shadow who just scowled. "Way to go little guy, ya beat cell!" Yamcha said exuberantly. "Yeah that was epic" Kid Trunks said with equal exuberance. "Please don't inflate his ego, I just got done deflating it" MC Krillin complained. "Now now Krillin let's let them express themselves" MC Goten said cockily. "Too late" Adult trunks commented snickering. MC Krillin signed in defeat. "Yeah, Yeah, yeah" Scarred goten rudely interrupted. " So you beat a bug, I kill worse nearly every day , you wouldn't last two seconds with me!" Everyone was stunned by this declaration, he kills worse every day? What was going on in his universe? MC Goten, though stunned as well, was also insulted. "Hey grumpy how about you prove that, put them up!" MC Goten got into a wrestling like stance. "Ugh fine" scarred Goten replied annoyed. "Hell yeah!" MC Goten shouted excited, turning super saiyan 2, "what are your tri-ack!" MC Goten was suddenly being choked by what looked to be a monkey like tail, upon closer examination it belonged to Scarred goten who had disguised it has a brown belt up until now. MC Goten tried desperately to break free but it was like the tail was made of steel. Eventually it choked him enough to make him drop back into base. It then threw him into the ground, hard enough to create a small crater. Everyone except Shadow was stunned by this. MC Goten dug himself out of the crater, "what just happened?!" He asked staring wide eyed at his scarred counterpart's tail. "Well uh" adult goten began, "my turn!".
