DRAGONBALL: A RETELLING

I do not own Dragonball or the characters in it. i am just a fan. andI don't like be accused of theft nor does my sister.

Note whenI say Raditz twice in a row it's just that Goku's older brother has a twin that is named the same. And note that whenI refer to Raditz with Zetheros its the good one. The older one is the good one.

CHAPTER 6

THE STRONGEST WARRIOR

"Honestly this is what you've been afraid of?" asked Vegeta "I take it these are the scary Androids we've heard so much about?" "That's them." said Trunks lowly. "they're androids? They just like humans to me." said Krillin "Don't be fooled by the way they look. They're Androids and they're both stronger and deadlier then all of us!" said Trunks. "Oh please." said Vegeta. " You don't understand! They are the ones that destroyed my world." said Trunks. While the fighters were arguing 17 destroyed Dr. Gero, who was insisting them not to open another Android, 16. He pissed Vegeta off by doing but not for long. "Did you guys see that! He squashed it like a bug!" said Krillin. Android 17 started to laugh and started to make a motion for Krillin to go to him. " Uh Vegeta, I think he wants to talk to you." said Krillin "You with the shiny head come here." said 17 "You want me!" "Uh-huh" "Uh! No way!" yelled Krillin "Don't be a coward. Go on fight him." said Vegeta " All by myself? Come on guys we're in this together. Right guys? And I'd like to keep my head on my shoulders." said Krillin "Don't worry Krillin, I got your back" said Tien. Krillin started to walk over to 17 but when he got to him he got up and left. "Looks like he took pity on you, you loser. Now he knows you're scared. Next time he won't hesitate." said Vegeta "What?" asked Krillin "go on. Open the chamber." said 17 "right." said 18 "if they set that Android free it will be the end of all of us. NO!" yelled Trunks "huh?" said Vegeta "what? Whoa. Huh. Hey Trunks how about a little more warning the next time you do that" said Krillin "grr bad move why'd you do that for?" asked Vegeta "What's wrong?" asked Trunks "Well look down there." said Vegeta "I don't understand that was my most intense blast. There's no way anyone could survive that." said Trunks "Well it looks like you spoke too soon." said Vegeta. The two androids opened the chamber and freed 16 after they found out what they're objective was they took off to find Goku, to kill him. "Hey they're leaving. Good riddance. We're safe." said Krillin "Yeah but where do you think they're going?" asked Tien "They can't be going to South City. That's the other way!" said Piccolo "I got it! They have to been going after Goku! Yeah Dr. Gero's goal was to get back at Goku for destroying his Red Ribbon Army." said Krillin "Yeah but do you think they'll follow Dr. Gero's orders now?" asked Tien. "I don't care where they went. They left because they're scared of me and they should be." said Vegeta. And with that Vegeta jetted into Super Saiyan "No! stay here! Don't go after them!" said trunks "You expect me to wait for Kakarot?" asked Vegeta. "Kakarot? Oh you must mean Goku. Yes you must wait for Goku to get better! It's the only way to defeat the Androids." yelled Trunks. "Sure lets all want for Kakarot! I mean wouldn't it been better if we all joined up with the Androids instead? Now get out of my way before you get hurt. And let me destroy the Androids with out Kakarot!" yelled Vegeta "No you can't fight be yourself!" yelled trunks. Vegeta, who got tired of Trunks yelling at him that he wasn't strong enough to fight the Androids, punched him in the gut and took off. "What was that all about? Trunks are you all right?" asked Krillin "Please go after him. We have to wait." said trunks "But Vegeta's long gone. We'll never catch up to him now. Darn it I sure wish Goku was here." said Krillin "Goku. We have to go after him." said Trunks "there's no time to waste." said Piccolo.

While all of the fights and battles going on there was another threat. One that trunks didn't know about in his future, the android Cell. After Vegeta and the fighters fought the androids and lost Vegeta took off. "Fa- Vegeta wait!" yelled Trunks "It's alright Trunks. We already know that the baby Bulma has is you. The only one that don't know yet is Vegeta." said Krillin "I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys." said Trunks. "Now is not the time to worry about that. Right now we need to move Goku to a more secure location. Krillin you guys go to Goku's and move him to Roshi's Island." said Piccolo. "Right." said Krillin and they all took off and went to Goku's, while Piccolo went to Kami's lookout. "Kami you know why I'm here." said Piccolo "Yes you want to join bodies but I'm not so sure that is the most proper thing to do at the time" said Kami "What are you talking about? You Heard Trunks those Androids will destroy the world." said Piccolo "Yes I heard him. But Trunks made a grave error. The time line he came from was destroyed by the androids but for the last four years I've felt a disturbance. If it's okay with you I'd like to take a moment to see how thing play out." said Kami. "'Play out'? fine do what you want." said Piccolo.

Meanwhile while Kami was watching the Earth Krillin and the others was moving Goku to Roshi's island when Bulma called. "Krillin is my son from the future there?" asked Bulma over the phone. "Yeah he's here." "Well let me talk to him." said Bulma "Yikes. Uh trunks she wants to talk to you but she's kind of crazy." said Krillin "Uh that don't change in the future. Here." said Trunks "Hello" "Trunks I got a picture here and It's a picture of a something like a time capsule." "What? Look I'm going to put you on speaker phone so you can tell the others what you just told me." said Trunks. He puts the phone down the receiver and puts the speaker phone on and Bulma told the others what she told Trunks. " The only thing is that that's impossible. You only made one time machine in the future. It was all you could do. And I have the only one with me." said Trunks " Well I'll fax it to you guys." said Bulma. And she sent the picture over to the others and Krillin showed it to Trunks who said it was impossible that it really was another time machine. "Hey Bulma where was this picture taken?" asked Trunks "Out side Gingertown." said Bulma "Are you going there?" "Yes I have to check this out." said Trunks "Well alright I'll meet you there." said Bulma and she hung up. "She as reckless here as she is in my time." said Trunks "Well looks like not everything changes." said Krillin "Yeah" said Trunks "I'm going with you Trunks." said Gohan "Alright then let's go." said Trunks and him and Gohan took off.

When Trunks and Gohan got to Gingertown they saw that Bulma was already there. "Are you sure you should be here?" asked trunks "Oh don't worry about me." said Bulma "Alright lets go have a look at this time capsule." said Gohan. They left and went to where the capsule was. "Wow this time capsule looks like its been here for a while." said Bulma "Hey guys I just checked the computer and it says that this thing has been here for four years." said Trunks "Whoa that is a while." said Bulma. "Yeah well this might explain a few things. Like why Goku's heart virus came later than it was supposed to. But who would come back in time?" said Trunks. "maybe who ever it was is still around." said Gohan " Yeah maybe." said trunks "Lets look around" said Gohan "Yeah" said Trunks. The two of them looked around and found something that looked like a giant cicada. "Eww what is that!" asked Bulma "It must be what came out of that shell." said Gohan "Yeah." said Trunks "Look guys. I'm getting out of here. See you." said Bulma and she took off. "Huh I take it she don't like bugs." said Trunks "I guess not." said Gohan. "Look Gohan maybe we should get back to the island. Once the Androids find out that Goku's not at his house they'll probably go to Roshi's island. And I hate to say it but with just Krillin and Yamcha there they might not stand much of a chance. Considering they beat all of us the last time we fought them." said Trunks "When did you fight them?" asked Gohan while they were flying back "Right after they were activated." said Trunks. "You see, you know how my father is. How he can't stand being weaker than someone else?" "Yeah" said Gohan. "Well after the androids were activated father left after them. Thinking he was strong enough to destroy them by himself. But the problem was-" "he wasn't" said Gohan "Right" said Trunks "well anyway he took off and I tried to stop him but he hit me and paralyzed me temporarily. After I recovered we went after him unfortunately when we found him he wouldn't let us help him." "Why?" "Gohan you know how my dad is. He don't like anyone helping him. But when 18 proved to be to strong for him we were forced to help. Even though Vegeta didn't want it. You see I couldn't stand it if my father was killed again. So I rushed in to help him. But the two androids defeated all of us. Me Tien, Piccolo, and Father. The only one they didn't beat was Krillin and for some reason he was shaken up." "I wonder why" said Gohan "I don't know he wouldn't say. So after we all got on our feet Vegeta took off again I tried to stop him again but the thing was that I slipped up and almost called him Father, not knowing that they knew that I was the baby Bulma had. Piccolo had told us to get Goku to a safer place and he took off towards the lookout I think is what Krillin said." said Trunks "I wonder why Piccolo was going there." said Gohan, wondering "Krillin said something about Piccolo and Kami once being one being although I never heard about that in my future, but then again I never asked to much of the past considering that I was always training under my master." said Trunks "Who was your master Trunks?" asked Gohan "You were. After you were older. You became a Super Saiyan when you were 10." "Why then?" "Gohan you've always had the strength. Its just been inside of you. When you need it you'll find it. Trust me I should know." said Trunks "I wouldn't dare doubt you." said Gohan.

While the two were flying back to the island piccolo was becoming impatient waiting for Kami to come to a decision. "Are you going to take all day?" asked Piccolo "It's worse than I feared." said Kami "What is? What is going on?" asked Piccolo "There's no point in telling you now." said Kami "Why? What's Wrong?" asked Piccolo "I'm not saying now because once we become one you will know your self." said Kami "So you've finally come to your senses." said Piccolo "Kami no!" said Mr. Popo "Don't worry Mr. Popo. The evil that once plagued Piccolo's heart has long since disappeared." said Kami. " Well alright good bye old friend." said Mr. Popo and he left "Listen up we'll use my body got it?" said Piccolo "Agreed your body is a lot younger than mine." said Kami "Alright." said Piccolo and he placed his hand on Kami and fused with him becoming the Namek he once was before he split long ago.

After Piccolo fused with Kami he left the lookout and went to Gingertown to fight a mysterious creature. "Who are you? What are you doing here? What kind of twisted sick mind would think to send you here in a time machine?" asked Piccolo "You seem to know a lot Piccolo. But you don't know it all. I came here of my own accord. As for who I am there's no point in telling you that, since you are about to be absorbed." said the creature "I noticed you used the name Piccolo." "Well that's your name right?" "No I fused with Kami and became the Namek with no name." "So what would you like to call you?" "You can Call me the Namek." said Piccolo "The Namek Huh?" said The creature "Fair enough since I wont tell you my name. But if you fight me and win I'll tell you my name." said The creature. "Sorry I don't make deals with some one who would intentionally hurt some else." said Piccolo. "Well fine." said the creature. He and Piccolo started to fight attracting Trunks, Vegeta and the Androids. Not to mention Krillin and Tien. "what is going on?' asked Trunks "He must have done it" said Krillin "Did what?" asked Trunks "Fused with Kami." "Doesn't that mean the Dragonballs are gone too." asked Trunks "Yeah." said Krillin. While the two was on their way to the battlefield the creature used a Kamehameha on Piccolo and took his arm. "you can't fight with your arm Namek. Your beaten." "Yes I acknowledge defeat. But first tell me your name." said Piccolo "Oh fine since your about to be absorbed. My name is Cell and I came here in a time machine to absorb androids 17 and 18. Since the two was destroyed in my time by Trunks." "What that's impossible considering Trunks didn't know how to destroy the Androids. He must have created more than one future when he came back here. One with Goku. One with you and the one he lives in." said Piccolo. As Piccolo found this out Trunks and Krillin landed. "What is going on?" asked Trunks "I'll explain after I take care of this thing." said Piccolo "What Trunks is alive? You have more lives than a cat." said Cell "What?" said Trunks "Don't worry I'll fill you in here in a bit." said Piccolo "Well I my be weaker than you but I'm not stupid. SOLAR FLARE!" yelled Cell "What?" said Piccolo after Cell left Vegeta showed up wondering who the Namek was considering he didn't know that Kami and Piccolo was once one. "Hey Um Piccolo… uh Kami… what do we call you?" asked Tien "Call me Piccolo. We have to move fast. Cell wants to absorb 17 and 18." "Why does he want to do that?" asked Trunks "because he wants power. He has the cells of Frieza and everyone else that Goku came in contact with since Goku was a boy." "So he has my cells? Mine, Nappa's, and Raditz's?" asked Vegeta. "Yes" said Piccolo "Unthinkable" said Vegeta and he took off. "Vegeta wait!" yelled Piccolo "Don't worry I'll get him." said Trunks "No we need to destroy Gero's hidden lab in the mountains. Trunks. You and Krillin head over there I'm going back to Roshi's island." "Right" said Trunks and Krillin in unison.

Trunks and Krillin leave and go to the mountains to destroy the larval form of Cell. When they got there they found plans for the androids. Trunks told Krillin that Bulma could probably find a weakness in the androids if she had the plans for them. They went to the back of the lab and found the computer that finished working on Cell. Trunks and Krillin destroyed it and then Krillin said to Trunks that they should head back to the island. He said that Chi-chi said Goku was getting better. Trunks agreed and they left. When they got to the island Roshi told them that Goku and the others were up in his room. Trunks went up there and they were all around Goku. The next thing they knew was that Goku was up better than ever. "Hey guys" "hey Goku you look a lot better." said Trunks "I am" "Sorry to rain on the parade but we have pressing issues." said piccolo "Hey Kamiccolo." said Goku "Don't call me that I've went through some changes but my name is still piccolo." said Piccolo "Okay well lets get to business." said Goku " You mean training?" said Trunks "Yes you and Gohan meet me on Kami's lookout. I'm going to go get Vegeta." said Goku "Right" said Gohan. "Alright" said Trunks and Goku left. When he and Vegeta got there Trunks, Gohan, and Piccolo was already there. "This better not be another one of your tricks Kakarot" said Vegeta " It's not this is the real thing. I promise." said Goku. "Fine as long as we go in first." said Vegeta. "Alright. That's fine this way if anything comes up some one can be there to help the others." said Goku then he looked at Vegeta \, who knew the hint Goku was giving all too well and followed him. " You know what I don't think I'll ever understand those two." said Gohan "What do you mean Gohan?" asked Trunks "Well one minuet Vegeta is throwing daggers at dad and the next its like they were never even enemies." said Gohan "Your right that is weird." said Trunks "Don't worry about Trunks. You either Gohan. You both need to concentrate on your training." said Piccolo.

On the other side of the hallway Goku told Vegeta that he might want to get close to Trunks while he has the chance. "Why' s that Kakarot?" said Vegeta in a normal tone " Because that's how Gohan has gotten stronger than he was when you first met him. Me and him got to know one another and we got stronger together." said Goku " Alright but I don't understand why he didn't tell me to begin with that he was my son?" said Vegeta "Because Vegeta he couldn't. couldn't tell you because it would not being born and if what I saw in my visions while I was sick are true we are going to need him here as a kid sooner than you realize. Now we need to train. Just don't tell Trunks anything and our secret will be fine." said Goku " right" said Vegeta and he walked over and went in to the room followed by Trunks. "Hey Piccolo why don't you head back to Roshi's island. When the androids don't find me at my house I'm pretty sure that's where they will go next." said Goku "Good idea. Hey Gohan remember what I said ." said Piccolo and he left. "What's he talking about Gohan?" asked Goku. " Nothing just something he told me awhile back when he first trained me." said Gohan " oh " said Goku they were quite for a few minuets then Gohan asked his father something he had been wondering. " hey Dad do you really think I can become Super Saiyan like you?" "Well if you push it yeah I do Gohan and I also want you to become stronger than me." said Goku "but that's not-" started Gohan " Don't tell me its impossible because its not trust me." said Goku "okay dad I'll try." said Gohan "That's my boy." said Goku

Meanwhile while Goku and Gohan was fighting in the Time Chamber, Vegeta and Trunks was looking for Cell. 'Where is he?' thought Vegeta 'Father is acting like he hates me. Why is it when Gohan and Mother told me about Father it sounded like he cared for everything like Goku but he's not here. Why?' thought Trunks just then as Trunks was thinking these things Vegeta speeded up and Trunks thought it be best that he didn't try and stop him remembering what happened the last time he tried to stop him. After a long search Vegeta finally found him in his second form after he absorbed 17. "So you're Cell" said Vegeta "That's Right Vegeta." " Enough talking." said Vegeta and that's when they started to fight just as Vegeta was starting to win when Trunks showed up "And its gets worse for you now. This is my son. He's not as strong as me but it doesn't matter. Either way you will beat here and now." said Vegeta. " Oh please Vegeta I know you want a stronger battle. Am I right?" asked Cell "What?" said Vegeta 'oh no Cell is trying to seduce father.' thought Trunks "Father don't listen to him. Don't you see his targeting your weakness!" yell Trunks "Be quite boy. Your father and I have a deal." said Cell "No!" yell Trunks "You may know my father's weakness but you don't know mine. And you heard him before I'm just as strong as him." 'Foolish boy. Just like his father.' thought Vegeta. As Trunks and Cell was fighting Krillin started to deactivate android 18 but something made him stop ending in the result of cell absorbing her, becoming perfect. "Krillin! 'Oh no this isn't good.'" thought Trunks.

After Cell became perfect he declared that he would hold a Martial Arts Tournament and who ever thought could beat him should enter. Once Goku found out what Cell was up to he said that it would be a good idea if they rested before the Cell games.
