Chapter 18: The Perfect Android
"No, no, no this can't be happening! Everything that I have done, everything that my mother and Reilena put on the line gone because of my fathers selfish pride!" Future Trunks yelled.
Reilena and Trunks just looked on as Cell inspected his new body.
"Maybe we shouldn't have come here Trunks." Reilena whispered to her friend.
"Now you decide this!" Trunks yelled in frustration.
"So this is the ultimate androids new body eh? This is a joke he is even smaller than before!" Vegeta said as he looked on.
In a spur of the moment decision Krillin attacked Cell head on but it had no affect what so ever on the Cell's new form.
Future Trunks looked on and decided to join in on the attack but even the two of them combined didn't phase Cell.
"So you two want to play? Very well, it's my turn…" Cell said to them as he quickly kicked Krillin aside with ease.
"So, who should I pick to really try out my new body?" Cell said with a smirk.
"Oh no Krillin!" Reilena yelled as she and Trunks ran to Krillin's side.
"Hey are you ok he didn't hurt you too bad did he?" Trunks said as the turned him over.
Future Trunks looked on in horror and balled his fits "I can't let it end like this…we've come too far I can't let everyone down!"
"Do you think Krillin is going to be ok?" Reilena asked her friend.
Trunks looked at her in panic "I don't know he's not moving!"
"Hey Rei quick get Krillin to eat this he doesn't have much time!" Future Trunks yelled from above as he through something at her.
Reilena jumped up and caught what Future Trunks had thrown "hey a sensu bean thanks Trunks from the future!"
"Come on Krillin you got to eat this you got to try!" Trunks said as he glared back up at his father who was floating above.
Why do they care so much he is a weakling, he isn't even worth giving that stupid bean he will just get crushed again anyways, more importantly why is MY son concerned with that weaklings well being? Maybe Kakarotto's brat is rubbing off on him…I will have to see to it that I fix that problem when I am through with the android. Vegeta thought to himself as he looked on.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Cell's transformation is complete…" Piccolo said as he sensed on.
"What no way how can that be we gave Krillin the controller to destroy her?!?" Videl said in shock.
"Yeah Piccolo so what are you saying, that Krillin didn't use it and let the android go?" Bulma asked just as shocked.
"Yes, that's right he crushed the controller and let her go." Piccolo said to her.
"WHAT?!?! Why would he do that is he insane?" Bulma yelled.
"Vegeta…you have doomed us all." Piccolo said frustrated.
"I can't believe Krillin did that! Ugh never leave a man to do ANYTHING!" Bulma yelled as she stormed away.
"What do you think is going to happen now; you know now that Cell is complete?" Videl asked them curiously.
Piccolo looked down at the ground "I don't know Videl at this point if Goku and Gohan don't finish their training soon, there won't be an earth left for them to defend."
Videl was taken a back by his statement and looked back towards where the hyperbolic time chamber was come on Gohan please hurry up in there…the Earth needs you…WE need you…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Alright son I think that was enough training for today." Goku said as he wiped his brow.
"Yeah dad I am beat!" Gohan said panting as they walked back to where their beds were.
"So, how do you like the training so far son, challenging enough for you?" Goku said with a laugh.
"Yeah, it definitely is dad but I really don't think that I have ascended to the next level like Vegeta…and we only have a few months left!" Gohan said worried.
Goku gave his son a smile "Don't worry Gohan, you have made a huge progress in here…more than you did in the ten years that we trained for the androids!"
"Really, you think so?" Gohan asked him as he got ready for bed.
"Yup, you're fighting technique has changed dramatically Cell won't know what hit him!" Goku said trying to cheer him up.
Gohan gave a slight smile showing that he wasn't as worried anymore "Thanks dad…"
"No problem Gohan that's what I am here for!" Goku said with a grin.
"But I thought you were in here to train?" Gohan said confused.
"Well that too." Goku said as he and Gohan laughed.
"Hey listen I think we better hit the hay we have a full day of training tomorrow and I don't plan on slowing down the pace ok?" Goku said to him.
"Right, night dad!" Gohan said as he flopped down on his pillow.
"Night son sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite." Goku said with a smirk.
"Dad I'm almost seventeen years old, don't you think I'm kind of old for that?" Gohan said to him.
"Oh yeah, you're right…I guess." Goku said confused slightly as he walked over to his bed.
A little while later
Gohan was tossing and turning in his bed as he slept.
Gohan was training in the chamber blasting energy waves everywhere.
"I have to get stronger than a Super Saiyjin!" he yelled when all of a sudden he head a voice call over.
"Son Gohan there you are I have been looking everywhere for you!" the voice said.
Gohan turned around to see Videl standing there behind him.
"Geese Videl you knew I would be in here for a whole day remember I told you when you got to the look out." He said nervously.
"Oh yeah you're right, well I guess I can forgive you this time. Besides, you look really cute in spandex." Videl said with a smirk.
"Awe geese Videl I…" he began but she interrupted him.
"Shh, a little less talky, and a little more of this…" Videl said as she leaned in to kiss him when all of a sudden Cell appeared behind Videl grabbing her and putting her in a choke hold.
"No Videl!" Gohan yelled as he went to attack Cell but all of a sudden Cell was gone. The next thing he knew Cell reappeared still choking Videl a few feet away from him.
"Gohan…help me…please…" Videl said in pain.
"You let her go right now Cell!" Gohan yelled in anger.
"Oh, and what are you going to do about it kid you can't beat me!" Cell said with an evil laugh.
The next thing Gohan knew he heard a crack, looking up to see Videl's body go lip and Cell throw her to the ground.
"You have let down everyone else in your life and now her." Cell said with a smirk.
"No Videl!" he yelled as Cell laughed at him.
"Videl!" Gohan yelled as he abruptly sat up in bed.
Was that…all a dream? Gohan thought to himself when all of a sudden his bed curtain opened to reveal Goku on the other side.
"Hey everything ok in here? I thought I heard you yelling." Goku said with concern for his son.
"Yeah dad I just had a bad dream…I'm ok." Gohan said as he laid back down.
"Ok, just checking up on you." Goku said as he shut the curtain and left.
That really was all a dream…man…I can't let everyone down…I can't let HER down I have to get stronger I have to ascend! Gohan thought as he drifted back to sleep.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Don't tell me that you are satisfied with swatting flies like him; guess a guy like you can use any victory he can get." Vegeta said to Cell with a smirk.
Future Trunks floated down as he saw Krillin slowly getting up.
"Welcome back Krillin I almost thought you weren't going to make it." Future Trunks said to him.
"Yeah Krillin you got beat up pretty bad." Reilena said in observation.
"Geese thanks kid think that I didn't already know that." Krillin said sarcastically.
Reilena rolled her eyes at him and focused her attention on Vegeta and Cell.
"I wonder what my dad is saying to him…" Trunks said as he looked on.
"Probably nothing that's going to help him…I hate to break it to you kid but Cell is a lot stronger than he looks…even though it only took one punch…in that one punch I could sense it…I could sense all the power that Cell was holding back…and things aren't looking too good on our end." Krillin said to them.
All of a sudden Vegeta powered up and got into fighting stance.
"Oh no dad is going to fight him!" Trunks yelled as he watched.
"Don't let Cell fool you he was hiding his true power, just like you." Krillin said looking at Future Trunks.
Reilena and Trunks both looked up at the two older warriors confused.
"You mean you know…but how?" Future Trunks said confused.
"I may not be as strong as you guys, but I know when someone is holding back their power. And you know it's kind of funny because I always sensed that your younger self was stronger than he was letting on too and well by the looks of it was right." Krillin said.
"What you knew I was a Super Saiyjin? Don't tell me that Reilena told you too!" Trunks said aggravated.
"I didn't tell Krillin Trunks I didn't tell anyone until yesterday honest!" Reilena said back to him.
"No she didn't tell me, I didn't know you could transform all I knew was that you were definitely holding back, you too Reilena I am surprised that Goku and Vegeta didn't pick up on it sooner…well I guess we were all so busy training we just weren't paying attention to you two." Krillin said while they watched Vegeta and Cell begin to fight.
"See Trunks I told you!" Reilena said with a smirk.
Vegeta began punching and kicking Cell but Cell was easily able to block all of his attacks. Even with his most powerful energy attack Cell was able to dodge it. The two landed on a cliff facing each other.
"You know if you really wanted true power you should have absorbed a Saiyjin." Vegeta said mocking Cell's achievement.
"Really now, are those a loosing man's words?" Cell said to him.
"Near the end of our training father reached a plateau…but I surpassed him…listen I can't let my father know…because…because he will hate me for it." Future Trunks said to them.
"What Trunks what are you talking about?" Krillin said confused.
All of a sudden Future Trunks looked to his younger self "you know, don't you that's why you kept your ability to transform into a Super Saiyjin a secret from him…you knew that it would discourage him and make him upset."
Trunks slowly nodded his head in agreement with his future self.
"I have worked so hard to gain his approval…finally…but I am still not there yet I know once he sees how strong I am he will accept me…but he can't know yet he isn't ready." Future Trunks explained.
"But Trunks…" Krillin began.
"He should have beaten Cell back there when he still had the chance!" he said in frustration.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wow Vegeta's strength is amazing. He is dead even with Cell in his final stage!" Tien said.
"What, what did you say about Vegeta is he ok? What about my Trunks and Reilena?" Bulma said storming towards them.
Piccolo and Tien just looked on ignoring her.
"Hey come on don't leave me in the dark here tell me!!" Bulma demanded.
"They said that Vegeta is really strong, an equal to Cell." Videl chimed in.
"Oh really, well then Vegeta comes through in the clutch that's my man!" Bulma said confidently.
"I wouldn't get too confident just yet Bulma." Piccolo said to her.
"Oh and why not Vegeta is winning." Bulma said back to him.
"I never said Vegeta was winning anything can happen at this point." Piccolo said as he went back to sensing the battle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vegeta and Cell began to battle again with Cell being able to dodge every attack that Vegeta threw at him. Finally Vegeta released a huge energy attack that surely should have destroyed him.
"You impress me Vegeta that was quite a little show." Cell said to him emerging from the smoke.
Vegeta looked on in shock "how dare you play for a fool!"
Vegeta began to attack again but Cell emerged once more.
"I am just warming up Vegeta you might as well quit now." Cell said to him confidently.
"Just warming up…I beg to differ I bet you are just too afraid to fight me!" Vegeta said getting aggravated.
Cell smacked Vegeta around a few times, to his shock.
"Did you see that Cell just threw my dad around like a rag doll?!?" Trunks said looking on.
"Yeah I did maybe your dad should consider giving up till my dad and brother finish training." Reilena suggested.
"That's not going to happen…that is not how he fights…he is in this until the end." Future Trunks said to them.
"What no way my dad can't do that he needs our help!" Trunks said getting angry.
"Trunks you have to unleash your power it's the only way to beat him!" Krillin yelled.
"I can't with my fathers pride as strong as it is he would never let anyone interfere especially not me!" Future Trunks yelled at him.
"That is so ridicules!" Krillin said back in frustration.
"Trunks from the future you have to go help Vegeta!" Reilena said looking up at Future Trunks.
Man why did she have to go and do that…it's like she knows I can't resist those eyes. He thought to himself.
Future Trunks shook his head "no, no I can't not yet he isn't ready!"
Vegeta unleashed his strongest attack again, a direct blow to Cell's head but he still stood unharmed by it. Vegeta and android 16, who was still standing on the sidelines looked on in shock.
"I can't believe that Vegeta's direct blow to Cell's head didn't affect him at all." 16 said in observance.
"What's the problem Vegeta…cat's got your tongue?" Cell said cockily.
"Impossible…I put all my energy into that attack and here you are still standing." Vegeta said in shock.
"So Vegeta, do you understand now what I mean by perfection? Or shall I educate you further…" Cell said to him.
Cell kicked Vegeta through several boulders. He was able to stop himself but couldn't sustain it and fell to the ground.
"Oh no dad!" Trunks yelled as he powered up to Super Saiyjin and got ready to go help him when all of a sudden his future self grabbed him and held him back.
"No you can't go it's too dangerous for you!" Future Trunks said as he held on to him.
"Hey let go of me! If you aren't going to go and help him out then I will!" Trunks said trying to break free.
"Listen to him Trunk's he's right you may be a Super Saiyjin but it's not enough to beat him!" Krillin said.
Reilena looked on in confusion as her friend struggled. Finally Trunks powered down and his future self let go of him.
"No, dad…he can't leave me and mom he's been gone too long already…he can't be beaten by Cell he is the Prince of all Saiyjin's!" Trunks said holding back tears.
Future Trunks looked at him knowing exactly what was going through the younger version of him self's head right now.
"Listen I don't think Cell is going to go after him anymore…but he may come after us so be on guard ok?" he said to him.
Trunks nodded his head as he calmed down.
"Ok, that goes for you two too." Future Trunks said to Reilena and Krillin.
They nodded their head acknowledging what he had just said to them as they looked over at Cell.
All of a sudden Future Trunks powered up and took off towards Cell
"Hey where's he going, what is he doing is he going to go and help Vegeta?" Reilena said as she watched Future Trunks fly off.
"I don't know but I think it would be best if we stayed here until we know what he has planned." Krillin said.
"You know Vegeta I think it's quite funny, you were looking for a good challenge and here you are practically giving up on the fight." Cell said with a smirk.
"Leave him alone he is none of your concern now." Future Trunks said to Cell as he landed.
Cell turned around to face him "oh, Trunks nice to see you again did you enjoy watching your father's beating?"
Future Trunks stared him down "what do you think Cell do you think I did? You have had enough fun playing around with my father now you will face me, you will pay for all the crimes you have committed!"
"Right, that's what they all say." Cell said with a smirk.
All of a sudden Cell blasted off a huge energy attack at Vegeta, knocking him out for the time being.
Future Trunks looked on and in rage began to transform into his ascended form. Before they knew it he had transformed into an ascended Saiyjin and was ready to unleash his true power on Cell.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Trunks…he's way more powerful than Vegeta…he has surpassed him!" Piccolo said.
"What Trunks but how can that be he's only eight years old…oh you mean my other son…wow that's amazing…and Vegeta has been training for years…?" Bulma said in amazement.
"So it must be true…" Tien trailed off.
"Yes, I didn't want to believe it but there really is a level beyond that of a Super Saiyjin…" Piccolo said still in shock.
"Well good maybe he will be able to defeat Cell…then Gohan can really focus on telling me what I want to know." Videl said annoyed.
Everyone looked at her like she was crazy but they brushed it off.
"Trunks I hope you know what you are doing down there…" Piccolo said as he went back to sensing the battle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Whoa…Trunks…you really are going to be so cool when you grow up…" Reilena said as she watched.
Trunks slowly nodded his head as he watched his future self transform.
"Wow all that energy…is coming from him maybe he really can defeat Cell!" Krillin said as he too looked on.
"Hrmm maybe I will finally have a challenge." Cell said as he looked on.
Future Trunks and Cell stared each other down for a few minuets and before anyone knew it they had vanished.
"Huh, where did they go?" Reilena said when all of a sudden they looked up and saw them above fighting.
Future Trunks sent Cell flying down towards the ground and went to chase him. Cell hit the ground just as Future Trunks landed.
"Hey I don't see Cell but Trunks is still standing amazing!" Krillin said as he looked on.
"Trunk's you beat him you beat him!" Reilena said cheering.
"Come on lets go over there just to make sure." Krillin said as the three blasted off.
"Trunks from the future you did it!" Reilena said as they landed.
Trunks ran over to his father and turned him over "dad, its ok I'm here we will get you fixed up I promise!"
"Alright Trunks you are the man wait until I tell the others!" Krillin said.
Future Trunks looked up at him and realized something "Krillin, Rei look out!"
Reilena and Krillin looked over to see an energy attack coming strait for them but lucky were able to dodge out of the way just in time.
"Ok…maybe he didn't beat him…" Krillin said as he got up off the ground.
Cell rose from the creator he had just created and landed near Future Trunks.
"Oh man I don't know what's worse seeing him or hearing him." Krillin said.
"Maybe he can't be beaten…" Reilena said as she looked on.
"I've said it before and I will say it again, you Saiyjin's don't know when to give up." Cell said to him.
Cell and Future Trunks started to fight again, even more intensely this time. After awhile they landed again.
"Well you know all of Vegeta's moves interesting…now let me show you how to do them properly!" Cell said as he went to attack him again.
Future Trunks was able to dodge most of his attacks but all of a sudden Cell was able to punch him in the gut and throw him down.
"Oh no Cell hit him!" Reilena said looking on.
Trunks looked on as he tried to awaken his father "come on dad you have to wake up please!"
"Trunks you can't let him win you are our only hope till Goku and Gohan come out of the chamber." Krillin yelled.
Future Trunks slowly got up to face Cell.
Cell smirked "Well I am certainly glad that I stopped playing around with your father…because I am having much more fun playing around with you."
Future Trunks gritted his teeth "you will get your just desert Cell you aren't going to get away with all that you have done, not if I can help it!"
"Blah, blah, blah that's what you all keep saying but I don't see it happening." He said to him.
"Oh it will, if I don't do it then somebody else will." Future Trunks said as he walked towards him.
"You know its funny I was just thinking…back in my timeline she was such an easy kill…this timeline maybe she might actually put up a fight…" Cell said glancing over at Reilena.
Future Trunks saw him glancing over at Reilena "no, you didn't…YOU DIDN'T…"
Cell smirked "you know she screamed for you but you didn't come…you were already dead…let her down…you know she was a feisty one I don't know how you could deal with such a creature…"
"Hey Krillin who do you think they are talking about?" Reilena asked him.
"Beats me maybe Trunks has a girlfriend or something back in his timeline that Cell killed." Krillin said to her.
"No stop this…you monster there was no way she could have defended herself!" Future Trunks yelled as he started to get angry.
"True, but what was I to do? I needed your time machine and well she was there I couldn't have any witnesses…" Cell said evilly.
"You….you are going to pay for what you've done to her!" Future Trunks yelled as he let out a huge amount power.
Yes, yes that's it get angry let it all out Trunks I want to see your true power. Cell thought to himself as he looked on.
"I was thinking maybe we should test out my theory…" Cell said as he got an energy attack ready.
As soon as Cell released the attack Future Trunks got in front of Reilena and Krillin and blocked the attack from hitting them. He then positioned himself in front of Cell and began to stare him down.
"If you ever…lay a hand on her…I will be sure to it that every bone in your freak android body is broken…" Future Trunks said with a scowl.
"I see what an honorable boyfriend too bad she isn't here to see this." Cell said with a smirk.
With full force Future Trunks started to attack Cell head on but Cell vanished.
"What, he's gone…how can…." He began when all of a sudden Cell attacked him from behind sending him flying.
"Don't you see boy I did all of this to prove a point…I am the perfect being no one can defeat me…not you…not your father not anyone!" Cell said laughing.
Future Trunks shot back up and began to attack Cell once more but with every attack it seemed as his Cell still wasn't getting any weaker. Finally Cell knocked him down with a blow seemingly putting him out of commission.
"If I were you boy I would stay down for your own sake." Cell said laughing.
"Cell…Trunks my son…" Vegeta groaned finally coming to.
Trunks looked down at his father with a smile "dad you are ok your awake!"
"Here Trunks…err little Trunks catch give this to him!" Krillin yelled throwing a sensu bean to him.
Trunks caught the bean "thanks a lot Krillin!"
"Hey where did you get that?" Reilena asked him.
"Trunks from the future slipped it to me before he went off…I knew he wanted one of us to give it to Vegeta when the time was right…I think now is a good time don't you?" Krillin said to her.
Reilena nodded her head in response.
"Here dad take this." Trunks said feeding the bean to him.
Vegeta swallowed the bean and shot up "Cell, damn you!"
He looked over to see his future son on the ground and Cell in the air laughing.
"Ah yes Vegeta I see you have finally gained consciousness, too bad you missed me beating your son into a bloody pulp." Cell said with a smirk.
"That's…it….: Future Trunks yelled as he shot up and started to attack Cell but Cell was able to move out of the way and hit him back to the ground.
"Honestly you think by now he would have gotten it…he's even more stubborn than you Vegeta is the little one over that like that too?" Cell yelled from above.
Vegeta gritted his teeth as he watched his son from the future fight.
"Listen you said you were going to show me true Saiyjin power…but all you've done is bulk up your muscles…that's not going to get you anywhere if your opponent…like me has some speed." Cell said lecturing Future Trunks.
Now I see…why Father…why he didn't pursue the transformation in battle… Future Trunks thought to himself.
Future Trunks lowered himself to the ground and detransformed.
"You're right Cell…you can finish me off now if you want to." Future Trunks said in defeat.
"How very gracious of you…but I don't know." Cell said to him.
Future Trunks looked up at him shocked.
"You know both you and your father disappointed me I was hoping for more of a challenge….however there is something I am more curious about…I see that you have become much stronger in a short period of time…but how…" Cell said to him.
Future Trunks was silent.
Cell looked towards Vegeta and the younger Trunks "Vegeta care to enlighten me on how you and your son became so strong?"
"You truly are an idiot Cell you claim to know everything about us…about all of Kakarotto's techniques…but you can't figure this one out." Vegeta said with a smirk.
"Tell me something Vegeta…Trunks if you had more time would you be able to become even stronger?" Cell said to them.
Vegeta floated to where Future Trunks was.
"He's not going to tell them is he?" Reilena whispered to Krillin.
"I don't know with Vegeta who knows what will happen." Krillin said as he looked on.
"Well I am waiting you two…" Cell said to them.
"Maybe we can…and maybe we can't…that's for us to know and you to find out." Vegeta said to him.
"Well then I take that answer as a yes." Cell said with a smirk.
"Why, what difference does it make?" Future Trunks said to him.
"Oh I am just curious that's all…and one more question where has Goku been all this time? Where is he hiding?" Cell said to them.
"For your information meanie he is training with my brother to defeat you and they are going to kick your butt no contest….oopps…" Reilena said covering her mouth realizing her mistake.
"Great there she goes again, Reilena big mouth." Trunks said rolling his eyes.
Cell smirked "she certainly has a big mouth doesn't she…well no contest huh then maybe I should hold a tournament…yes that's what I will do…it will begin in ten days and I would consider yourself lucky that I am giving you a second chance."
"What are you talking about? A tournament…" Vegeta said to him.
"What are you planning Cell what does this mean?!?!" Future Trunks said angry.
"You two really don't know do you…well I guess I could enlighten you…a long time ago on this planet there used to be a competition called the World Martial Arts Tournament…I am going to revive it and prove that once and for all that I have no equal! Each member of your team may challenge me and I will fight them one on one and when I win I will face the next challenger on your team. Do you understand me…bring me as many fighters as you can…because the more there are…the more chances you have at surviving." Cell said with a smirk.
"That's fine by me Cell the next time we meet I will defeat you!" Vegeta yelled.
"Right Vegeta I am sure…I have yet to decide on a location so keep your eye on the television…oh and make sure you bring plenty of those little beans of yours." Cell said.
"Wait what is the purpose of this tournament?!?" Future Trunks yelled as Cell turned his back.
"It's simple really…I want to get as much as I can out of this planet before I destroy it!" Cell said with a smirk.
"I don't believe you…" Future Trunks said to him.
"Listen I don't care if you believe me or not…just bring me Goku…" Cell said as he flew off.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What Cell is holding a tournament?!?" Piccolo said in shock.
"What you mean like the World Martial Arts Tournament?" Tien said to him.
Piccolo nodded his head in response.
"Hey how can he do that they already held one this year and my dad won!" Videl said to them.
"At this point Cell can do whatever he wants the ball is in his court until Goku and Gohan come out of there…but I don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse…" Piccolo said to them.
"I don't know why you guys are so uptight about all this…I am sure that with the extra time before the tournament you guys can get the training that you need done!" Bulma said to them.
"I don't know if we can…" Piccolo said still in a state of shock.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Future Trunks fell to the ground "I tried to beat him…I couldn't do it…now all those people…"
"I don't know what you are whining about boy you should consider this a blessing that he is allowing you another chance to beat him." Vegeta said looking away.
"Dad, dad are you ok, what did he mean a tournament?" Trunks said running up to his father.
"Yeah did he mean like the ones my dad talked about competing in?" Reilena said as she and Krillin ran up to them.
"It sure sounded like it…oh man this isn't good this isn't good at all." Krillin said.
"Well I will gladly take on Cell for you all now that he has been complete…WITHOUT the help of you!" Vegeta said to Future Trunks.
"Hey dad I know you are strong and all…and you are the prince of all Saiyjin's and stuff but maybe we should wait for Reilena's dad and Gohan to come out of the time chamber and…" Trunks was cut off by Vegeta.
"Shut up boy how many times do I need to tell you I don't need Kakarotto and I certainly don't need his whining son either!" Vegeta snapped.
"Hey maybe Cell is using the tournament as an excuse to try and get my father to fight him!" Reilena said completely ignoring Vegeta's last comment.
"Well that's kind of stupid…" Trunks began.
"No it's a possibility…Cell specifically asked where Goku was…no doubt he is using the tournament as an excuse to get to Goku without any of us interfering." Future Trunks said observing.
"So…what do we do now, he said to wait and watch the TV…" Krillin said to them.
"All we can do is go back and watch the TV to get more info on what's going on." Future Trunks said to them.
"Right well come you guys let's go." Krillin said when he was just about to take off he noticed android 16 coming up towards them.
"Wait no…please repair me!" android 16 said as he stumbled towards them.
"What no way why should we?" Future Trunks yelled.
"Yeah Dr. Gero created you to kill everyone!" Trunks yelled at him.
"No, I was only created to destroy Goku…but that doesn't matter now…Cell is going to destroy this planet and I want to help you stop him…" 16 said to them.
"No way why should I believe you…" Future Trunks yelled.
Krillin walked over to the android and smiled "hand tight bro, I'll get you the help you need…"
"What Krillin are you insane!" Future Trunks yelled.
"No…I believe him…I think that he is good now he really wants to help I can tell…" Reilena said looking up at him.
"What Rei are you nuts did you hit your head or something he was made to only kill your dad!" Trunks yelled at his friend.
Future Trunks looked down at her shocked oh man this is just like her, and I swear it's like she knows I can't resist those eyes!
"Fine…we can take him to my mother I am sure that she or my grandfather will be able to fix him up." Future Trunks sighed.
"Thank you…Trunks…" android 16 said as they all blasted off towards Capsule Corp.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mrs. Briefs was watering her flowers when all of a sudden Vegeta and Future Trunks landed on the lawn.
"Oh hi Vegeta how are you I haven't seen you in awhile…oh my look at how strong you have gotten…" Mrs. Briefs said walking up to him causing Future Trunks to blush from embarrassment.
All of a sudden Mrs. Briefs noticed Future Trunks "oh and you brought a friend my you are quite handsome!"
Future Trunks blushed "Thanks you really think so?"
Is my grandmother hitting on me? Future Trunks thought to himself as the others landed near them.
"Hey grandma what's up?" Trunks said as he went to hug her.
"Oh Trunks hello hunnie I thought you were at Master Roshi's, guess not…oh and Reilena I haven't seen you in a while how have you been how's your father and brother?" she said to them.
"Hi Mrs. Briefs they are fine." Reilena said shyly.
"How would you kids like some cookies, I just picked some up from the store." She said to them.
Trunks and Reilena grinned as soon as she mentioned cookies "yeah definitely!" they said.
"Alright…come on then they are in the kitchen…oh hi Krillin I almost didn't see you there." She said to him.
"Hi mame…uh is Bulma here?" Krillin asked her.
"Bulma…well no actually…" she began but her husband cut her off.
"Actually Bulma just called said she was going to be here in a few minuets…" Dr. Briefs said to him.
"Wow she and Videl aren't back from Kami's yet…strange…" Krillin said as he looked up to see Master Roshi and the others coming in an air car above.
"Hey Master Roshi you…." Krillin began but was cut off by Chichi running towards him and knocking him over.
"Reilena…Reilena what are you doing here don't tell me you were at the fight with them!" Chichi said hugging Reilena tightly.
"Momma…you're crushing me…" Reilena said gasping for air.
"Oh…sorry…well what are you doing here you are supposed to be with your father!" Chichi said to her.
"Well we were it's just you see…" She began when her mother cut her off.
"Reilena what were you thinking going out there while that monster…you're my little girl you can't be going out there and….grrr you could have been killed! When your father and brother come back I swear they are going to get an ear full!" Chichi scolded.
"But mom dad and Gohan had nothing to do with Trunks and I going down to the battlefield honest!" Reilena pleaded.
"When we get home you are going to be in so much trouble young lady!" Chichi yelled at her.
Reilena sighed in defeat "yes mame…"
"So what's this all about Krillin what's going on?" Yamcha said as he approached them.
"Yeah what happened out there?" Master Roshi said to him.
"Well it's kind of a long story why don't we go inside and I'll tell you about it…" Krillin said to them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Now let's see…let's put that there and this…over here and…" Dr. Briefs mumbled as he worked on android 16.
"Hey what kind machine is that?" Reilena said looking over at the computer Dr. Briefs was using.
"What, oh this thing well it's a preliminary machine diagnostic computer, it is going to tell me what kind of circuitry I am dealing with here..." Dr. Briefs explained.
"Wow cool…I want to learn how to use one of those!" Reilena said in amazement.
Dr. Briefs laughed "yes well it takes many years for one to understand this kind of mathematics and science and…"
"You mean like knowing that that symbol there means the total electrical charge coming from that wire in volts?" Reilena said nonchalantly as she looked at the screen.
Dr. Briefs and everyone else looked up from what they were doing when they heard her say that.
"What…why is everyone looking at me?" Reilena said.
"Uh why yes how did you know that?" Dr. Briefs said amazed.
"When I get bored at home sometimes, I steal Gohan's math and physics books and read them." Reilena said hopping off her chair and walking over towards the rest of the group.
"Oh…well then that's very…uh good…" Dr. Briefs said still in shock as he went back to work on the android.
Future Trunks gave a slight smile yep that's Reilena alright…even in this time she is practically a genius when it comes to that stuff.
"So anyways guys Cell really wants to have a tournament?" Yamcha said breaking the silence in the room.
"Yes that's what he said and it's going to be held ten days from now. He told us to watch the TV for now to find out the details." Future Trunks said.
"So can anybody enter the competition or is it just people Cell wants to fight?" Chaozu asked.
"Cell will pretty much take on anyone who challenges him, and it seems that he expects a battle with each of us one by one." Future Trunks continued.
"Of course, you know what he is trying to do don't you…I do his plan is to eliminate the competition once and for all…." Master Roshi said.
"Well to be honest with you guys I kind of like the idea of another martial arts tournament. I mean hey I think I will dominate don't you?" Yamcha said cockily.
"Uh you are kidding right Yamcha?" Trunks said as he stood next to his father.
"Yeah there is no way that you can beat him Yamcha…" Reilena chimed in.
"Geese such harsh words you two I was joking…besides you two don't know I was pretty touch competition back in the day at the old tournament right Krillin?" Yamcha said to them.
"Yeah, sure…if you call getting eliminated in the first round of the finals competition." Krillin said to him as everyone laughed.
"But really why would Cell host a tournament?" Chaozu asked.
"Yeah I mean if he wants to rule the world why is he bothering with this competition…why doesn't he just do what King Piccolo did all those years ago and just take over the King's Palace in the Eastern Capital?" Yamcha said to them.
"Cell doesn't want to rule the world he wants to destroy it…the androids have never been ones to want to take over the world…they want to destroy it they love seeing panic and fear amongst the citizens. Cell is using the tournament as a way to spread fear." Future Trunks said shocking some of them.
"Well, it's working…" Krillin said nervously.
"Don't worry Krillin once my dad and my brother finish training I am sure everything will be ok!" Reilena said to him trying to cheer him up.
"Yeah your right! Goku has never let us down before and this time is no different!" Krillin said.
"Oh please enough of this Kakarotto business…Cell will make short work of each and every one of you…including Kakarotto and that whiney brat of his." Vegeta said to them.
"Well I for one am very relieved." Chichi said calmly.
"Uh Miss Chichi what are you talking about?" Trunks asked confused.
"Well this is a tournament, and with a tournament there has to be rules…including no killing…" Chichi said to them.
"Yeah you're right Chichi!" Yamcha said.
"I have to admit she does have a point!" Krillin laughed.
"I don't know…Cell isn't the kind of person who would follow any kind of rules even his." Future Trunks said.
"Well if there is no killing allowed then I am in!" Master Roshi said walking through the door.
"Oh will you stop it stop trying to relive your glorious past it's getting pretty pathetic!" Oolong said angry.
"Cell want's to test the limits of his new body, he has never heard of the Super Saiyjins and I think we need to use that to our advantage so I, my father, Goku and Gohan are going to have to try really hard to surprise him…you too Trunks…I mean if our mother will let you." Future Trunks said looking at Vegeta.
"Yeah there is no way my mom is going to let me fight she doesn't even know I am a Super Saiyjin yet…" Trunks said looking down.
"No, no, no, no Gohan WILL NOT be fighting in the tournament he is not going to be a fighter like his father!" Chichi yelled.
"But Chichi we need him for this one fight and besides isn't it kind of late now…Gohan is practically grown up…" Krillin said to her.
"Oh no that is what you guys always say! Gohan is not going to be a fighter he is going to be a scholar like Goku and I have planned from the beginning! He is still my little boy! When he gets done training he is going back to school you got it?!? He is not joining your little gang and you are not getting my daughter either!" Chichi yelled at them.
"But mom they aren't a gang…they fight the bad guys!" Reilena whined.
"Gang…since when did saving the earth become a gang?" Krillin said in shock.
"Come on in guy's dinner's ready!" Mrs. Briefs called from the kitchen.
Man I hope Goku and Gohan are making the most out of their training…because we are going to need it…Future Trunks thought to himself as he walked to the kitchen.
