-----at kami's lookout----

A troubled Goku can't take it anymore, the inability to help is getting to him, he raises his hand towards his forehead and by using his instant transmission technique went straight to the place of battle leaving Gohan behind, who is actually happy his dad is going to help Tien 'cos after Piccolo's demise another dead friend would be too much to cope with.

Goku appears next to worn out Tien and the motionless boy, as he grabs a hold of the two he suddenly senses Piccolo's energy: "Piccolo!?" he shouts, hoping to get some sort of response.

"Piccolo?!" Cell said, amazed at Goku's sudden appearance and certain of the fact that piccolo was death

Goku looked around and noticed Piccolo, barely holding on, lying face down on the shore.

He teleported to him and grabbed his hand "It's going to be alright Piccolo…"

Throughout these actions Goku didn't once pay attention to Cell, this irritated Cell tremendously "Goku, isn't it? So you've come to fight me at last" he said his irritation noticeable in his voice

Goku turned his head: "Yes, ...

Cell …

I will make you pay for everything you've done I assure you, but I will need one more day to acquire the necessary strength to beat you …"

"So this is the mighty Goku I must say I'm disappointed.. I finally meet the legendary Goku in which everyone puts their hope and all you can say is see you tomorrow, …. Well that's just not going to cut it, … We will fight now!!!" He launched a devastating Ki attack at Goku but Goku evaded it, using his instant transmission technique to get back to Kami's lookout"

There an anxious Gohan was worried about both his father and Tien, when Goku suddenly appeared carrying a worn out Tien, a deadly injured Piccolo and the beaten up, unknown kid his face lit up: "Piccolo !!!!!!!!!!!!" he ran over to him, firmly holding the brave Namek. With tears in his eyes he asked his father: "Is he going to be alright?"

"Yes son" Goku nodded as he gave the wounded hero's all a senzu bean.

A few seconds later they all raised to their feet, as if never been wounded. Gohan cried, but they were tears of joy, as he kept holding his Green friend and mentor who laid his hand gently on top of Gohan's head, smiling.

The boy was also back on his feet, fully healed and more confused then ever he jumped back; "where am I, how did I get here, did I die, how come my wounds are healed …" These and more questions were spinning trough his mind.

Goku approached the boy, kindly patting his shoulder " So … you put up a good fight, what's your name kiddo"

The boy just looked at him without saying a word, as if trying to figure out whether or not he should trust Goku, but eventually a modest smile appeared on his used to be troubled face

"My name is Tiencha, my mother named my after two of the earths greatest hero's and important people in her life who died protecting the earth against ruthless alien invaders: my father Tien and my mother's close friend and great fighter Yamcha, …"

All heads turned to Tien, totally amazed by these words. Ironically it was Tien himself who was the most confused, having been in the dark about his son's existence all this time.

Tiencha went over to Tien,

"I don't know how this is possible, my mother said you died and that you couldn't be wished back since the dragonballs disappeared when Piccolo exhaled for the last time, … And now after all these years …" tears poured down his cheeks as he embraced his father, who at first a bit distant, overwhelmed by all this, put his arms around his son and didn't let go for minutes, slowly giving in to his emotions, as he pressed his son close against him, looking down at him with pride and letting the tears flow at will.

Their bonding moment was cut short when all sensed two huge power levels closing in

"Trunks and Vegeta must have finished their training" Gohan said and they all went towards the entrance of the hyperbolic time chamber.

As Vegeta and Trunks came out off the hyperbolic time chamber, all were surprised at how much they had changed

"How did it go?" Goku asked

Trunks smiled and answered the curious Goku

"Great, Father wanted to train the full year at all costs, … we could have come out sooner as it only took my father 3 months to …"

"Quiet!" Vegeta yelled seemingly angry "Our training is not to be discussed! … Let's just say there's no need for you to go inside the hyperbolic time chamber as I will deal with cell myself, he will learn what it means to challenge the prince of all Sayians!"

"Sayians!?" Tiencha stepped forward, his eyes filled with rage, he bumped up to Vegeta "So you're a sayian aren't you?"

"What's it to you?" Vegeta smirked, in his typical Vegeta-I-am-superior-to-all-stance

"So you're the reason I didn't have a father growing up,

you're the reason my mother was hurting like she did after you killed my dad and her friend,

you're the one that wanted to destroy all human life and sell this planet to even bigger intergalactic scum…

Tell me something: … How many innocent lives have you ruined, how many fathers and sons have you taken, how many planets destroyed …. "

With each word he said he closed further in on Vegeta, his eyes fixed on him as if trying to kill him with a single look, It's needless to say Vegeta didn't like it one bit and fully participated in this intense stare down, lookin the boy straight in the eyes… The tension was to be felt miles around and as their aura's touched sparks of pure energy went in every direction and the entire lookout eventually started shaking.
