Alexa Gero sat on her throne inside her secret lab in the northern wastelands. Multiple wires emerged from her body and connected her to the various equipments present in her laboratory. She was in a trance, as she Normally would be when she was mentally controlling her entire lab.
The voice of her artificial assistant broke her out of her trance, and she gathered her concentration to listen to what it told her.
"Ma'am, I have news about the takeover of Satan city, that took place one hour, twenty three minutes, and forty six seconds ago", her robotic assistant said.
" The insurgents have been defeated, it's that the news?", Gero asked.
"Yes ma'am, how did you know that?"
"Well because I ordered that takeover to test the true ruler of Satan city, the man who calls himself the Devil. I did expect him to repel the army, but not so soon. Very impressive, he could be an useful subordinate to me, or a minor annoyance".
" Another important point to note ma'am, would be that the Prince of orange city was present at Satan city's Mayor's mansion ".
Gero would have jumped off her throne in surprise, if not for the thousands of wires that were connected to her body.
" Did the Sayian interfere? Is that why the red ribbon army was defeated so quickly? "
"No ma'am, the Prince was under supervision the entire time, he didn't even attack the men who took him hostage".
" So he is trying to hide his true nature. That would have been wise, if I didn't already know what he was", Gero shifted in her throne to get a better look at one of her monitors. The screen showed her three replicas of her father's greatest creation. She had begun to clone them after her fathers death, and unlike her father she wasn't foolish enough to give them free will. Such power should always be under the direct control of a great mind, and that mind was obviously her.
"Well I have tested the Devil of Satan city. Now I think it is about time I tested the greatest threat to me and the future that I have envisioned. Let me see how the Sayian fairs against my superior recreation of my father's design", saying this, Gero connected her mind to the three bio weapons she was looking at.
'Let us see how strong you have become Sayian'.
" I cannot express my gratitude in mere words young lady. Today you have gained my eternal thanks ", the Ox King said as he got out of the auditorium.
" Please sir, it is my duty to help those in need, and you saved my life as well. Without your help I would have probably lost my life in there", Videl told the King, and it was entirely true. If the ox King hadn't helped her, she would have been killed by that crazy bastard.
The ox King laughed out loudly and then patted Videl on her back, which almost made her fall down face first.
"You are a true warrior Videl Satan! Humility is a sign of great warrior indeed! You would do well in the Ox Kingdom young lady", the ox King bellowed happily.
" Oh I am sure I would sir, but Satan city needs me you see", Videl said as humbly as she could. The Ox King just laughed at that as well, he sure did laugh a lot.
"Yeah, we are really grateful to you miss Videl. You only need to ask if you ever desire anything, and the ox kingdom will provide", the Ox Prince said.
She turned to him and sniffed in annoyance, " I didn't do all this for a reward your Highness ".
" Of course not! I just ment that it would be nice to give you a gift, because…you know, you saved us. So I just ment to…uh…thank you. I didn't mean to offend you or anything! ", the Prince rambled nervously.
"Oh, none taken your Highness. And besides, you helped out as well. I don't think I could have taken out that jerk without your solar flare attack", Videl told him, and then she grinned when she saw him smile shyly while scratching his the back of his head.
'Damn he looks cute while doing that', Videl thought to herself.
She noticed the aura around the Ox Prince, it was restrained, non flowing, unlike that of every other human. Then she shifted her eyes to the ox King. His aura was enormous. He could have easily taken out all the terrorists himself, but perhaps he didn't because he was taken by surprise, or because he wasn't certain that he could take them out without any innocent getting hurt.
Videl suddenly remembered that the ox King had been shot! And he didn't even seem bothered by in now! She searched his suit for a bullet hole, and found it in his stomach, but there wasn't a single drop of blood! Had the bullet just bounced off his body? No, he was probably wearing a bullet proof armor. But then again, Videl had already seen bullets being defected by aura today. Perhaps the Ox King could do that as well.
Videl's thoughts were interrupted by the sudden barrage of questions from the army of reporters.
Videl put on a false smile and prepared herself. She hated these goddamn reporters! Once they surround you, you cannot even breathe until they are finished with you! And they aren't finished with you until you answer a billion questions and are close to having a complete mental breakdown!
As Videl began to respond to their barrage of questions, she suddenly saw a speeding capsule bike coming towards her without the slightest hint of slowing down.
"Shit!", Videl yelled as she jumped out of the way, pulling the reporters closest to her to safety as well. The bike barely missed her and the reporters and then suddenly the driver skidded to a stop right in front of the Ox Prince.
'Who the fuck is this crazy lady', Videl thought to herself as the driver climbed off the bike. The driver was a woman who was wearing traditional eastern clothes and whose black hair was tied in a bun. She was beautiful even though she was noticeably old.
The woman ran towards the Ox Prince and caught him in a bear hug that was strong enough to suffocate him. Weirder still was that this woman's power level was also higher than Videl's!
" OH MY DEAR BABY! ARE YOU OK? YOU AREN'T HURT NOW ARE YOU! OH MY POOR BABY WAD TAKEN HOSTAGE. I TRIED TO COME AS FAST AS I COULD!", the woman cried out loudly.
"Of course I am ok…mom…uh….too tight mom", the ox Prince said.
'Crazy, overprotective mom huh. Well at least you have a mom', Videl thought to herself, and then was again assaulted by the crazy army of rabid reporters.
And then all hell broke loose.
As Videl was answering the reporters, suddenly the ground beneath her feet started to quiver. The quivering started to become more and more violent. Videl gasped as she was suddenly swept off her feet by the violent vibrations.
She struggling to get back on her feet despite the ground shaking violently. Videl looked straight in front of her to see the tall buildings of the commercial plaza topple to the ground like flimsy Lego constructs.
And then her sixth sense was assaulted by several auras. They were so powerful! Videl felt as if her mind was about to explode! Videl shut her eyes tightly, the power was too intense! How could someone like this exist!
And then another power emerged. But this was different. She could see it, even though her eyes were closed. A golden light illuminated her mind. She could feel this power moving towards the commercial plaza, from where the other powers were being emitted. A golden light, moving towards the darkness.
The colossal aura coming from the commercial plaza was painful to Videl, it truly made Videl feel like her mind was about to explode. But this golden light, it was soothing, the complete opposite of the dark auras coming from the plaza.
Videl opened her eyes, to see a golden twinkling light above where the plaza used to exist. And a little further away from the golden being, floated three objects. Videl couldn't make out their shape from this far away, but even at such distance, she could feel that they were the source of the dark aura. But even though there were only three, it felt as if their power was the amalgum of so many different auras.
What were those things?
And who was that golden man. That golden fighter.
One moment there were four figures above the ruins of the plaza, and the next moment the four figures had vanished.
Only a golden trail of aura was left behind by the golden fighter, that led higher into the sky, until it vanished out of sight, into the clouds.
One moment ago, Gohan was being bear hugged by his mother, and the next moment, he was on his back, with his mom laying on top of him.
The ground shook violently under his back. An earthquake? No. Gohan sensed a presence he had thought he had destroyed five years ago. And this time it's power was noticeably greater. And there were three of them.
It was their energy that was causing this earthquake. Gohan saw several tall buildings topple to the ground. If he didn't stop them then the people inside those buildings wouldn't be the last ones to lose their life.
He didn't care who saw him anymore, he didn't care if everyone knew what he really was. He had to stop them. Gohan gently pushed his mother off him. And then in less than a second he was airborne.
Turing Super Sayian, Gohan flew towards the three ki's. Each one of those ki's was a combination of the ki of Earth's strongest warriors.
But it was a evil and twisted combination, that gave birth to a vile ki that nauseated Gohan's to his very core.
The three creatures floated in midair, above the ruins of the destroyed buildings. They all looked exactly like the perfect cell. But their chitin armor was blue instead of green. They were like an adult version of the Cell juniors that had been created by cell, during the cell games.
And each one of them had the same snarky expression that cell always had on his face. The face of a creature who thought it was superior to everything else in the universe.
Gohan stopped his flight right in front of them and stared at each one of with a scowl on his face. One cell had almost destroyed the world, and had killed his father. Now there were three, and each one was stronger than the first original perfect cell.
"Hello Sayian", the three cells said together.
" It is exhilarating to finally tes-", Gohan didn't let the three cells finish their combined sentence.
Rushing at the cell in the middle, Gohan quickly sent it flying higher into the atmosphere with a powerful uppercut.
Then instantly, he flew to the cell on the left and sent it flying into the air as well with a kick that could shatter mountains.
The rightmost cell had almost processed what was going on…almost. Before it could react, Gohan sent it flying into the sky as well.
Then he himself followed them, flying far above the clouds.
The three cells had once again gathered together. Good that made Gohan's job easier.
"MASENKO HAA!", Gohan shot out thousands upon thousands of large explosive ki ball at the three cells.
The cells easily dodged or deflected the ki balls, with a look of amusement on their face.
Gohan grinned at their sudden change in expression, when they realized that the ki balls that they had evaded hadn't dispersed, but were instead floating in the air around them.
" CONVERGENCE BARRAGE! ", Gohan yelled as he willed the thousands of ki balls to converge towards the three cells from every single direction.
" DIE", Gohan shouted as he clenched his fists, causing the thousands of ki balls to explode. The resulting explosion was so large that even Gohan had to fly backwards to avoid it.
He growled when he sensed that all three cells had survived. They came flying out of the smoke left behind by his attack. One cell had a leg missing, another had it's entire right arm and shoulder missing, while the third had a hole in it's stomach.
The three cells stopped right in front of Gohan, and then not even a second later their injuries vanished, with only a viscous fluid left behind in the place where their body was damaged.
"Now…its my turn, Sayian", the three cells said together, and then all three of them flew towards him at great speed.
" Agh", Gohan yelled out as their combined attack hit him. The three cells hit him with a multitude of combination attacks, that were timed perfectly and executed without any weak spots. Gohan had no chance for a counter attack. He didn't even have any chance at defending himself! His body was directly taking hit after hit from their perfect cell combination. And he was feeling the damage. They had already hit his body's vital spots over a thousand times in under a few seconds.
As one of the cells punched his stomach for the enth time, Gohan puked out blood. He couldn't even wipe the blood away as he was hit with another one of their combination attack. Gohan could only concentrate on one cell at a time. They were too fast and strong for him to take on three of them on his own. And they didn't even give him a moment to collect his breath, and they made no mistake in executing their combined attacks.
'Shit I can't lose like this! I CAN'T DIE LIKE THIS! I CAN'T!', Gohan thought to himself as he his anger rising.
"AAGGHHH!", Gohan screamed in fury and pain, and the sheer energy that radiated out of his body blew away the three cells in three different directions.
'Now is my chance!', Gohan thought to himself. Flying towards one of the cells Gohan quickly started to pummel him with thousands of hits.
When Gohan sensed the two other cells flying towards him, he stopped his assault, caught the arm of the still stunned cell he was beating on, and flung it into space with all his might.
Then Gohan brought both his hands to his hip, and touched his wrists while keeping his fingers apart. A small ki ball started to form in his hands, right about where his wrists were touching. He poured all his energy into that ki ball, forming the attack that had killed the very first cell.
" KAMEHAMEHA! ", Gohan yelled as he shot out a beam of concentrated ki at the cell he had just thrown into space.
The beam struck the cell clone and decimated every single molecule inside it's body.
Gohan sighed in relief as he felt the first cells ki vanish from existence.
As soon as his Kamehameha beam faded away, another cell reached him and punched in the face. The blow shook Gohan's head vigorously, and with almost all his ki expended in killing the first cell, the blow almost knocked out Gohan completely.
Gohan shook his head, trying to regain his poise, but before he could recover, one of the cells grabbed both his hands into a lock from behind, rendering him completely unable to move.
" Now that wasn't very nice of you. That hurt you know", both the cells said together, and they didn't sound very happy.
"Now die Sayian. You exceeded expectations, but your kind is a threat to me no more", the cells said in unison once again.
Then one of the cells flew right in front of Gohan and stopped. The cell that had Gohan in a lock tightened it's grip, while the other cell brought it's right hand up to it's forehead, and opening it's pointer and middle finger from it's fist, it made a gun shape out of it's hand. Then placing the two open fingers on it's forehead, it began to concentrate a large amount of energy at the point of the two fingers.
" SPECIAL BEAM CANN-", before the cell could finish it's attack, a golden blur appeared in front of if and kicked it so hard that it was thrown out of sight.
"Kid, you are damn lucky that you are short", Vegeta turned around and said.
" huh?", was the only thing Gohan could say before Vegeta shout a ki beam towards him.
"Aaaah", for a moment Gohan thought that he was about to be hit, but then he realized that the beam had blown away the head of the Cell that had him in a lock.
Gohan freed himself from the cell and flew to Vegeta," Yeah, thank Dendei that I am short", Gohan muttered.
The beheaded cell instantly regrew it's head and grinned at Gohan and Vegeta.
"So, mind explaining to me what the fuck is going on? Because what I see in front of me, is an ugly blue themed ripoff, of an already ugly piece of shit, that if is remember correctly, was blown to bits by you", Vegeta said.
" Uh yeah…well I don't really have a clue about what's going on. But the one thing I understood by listening to these cells speak is that they seem to have a collective consciousness. Like they have a single mind, but three bodies", Gohan told him.
"Oh yes that is correct boy. You see we ha-", this cell was also cut short when Vegeta punched it and sent it flying back.
" Yeah…you know…I think I just don't give a fuck", Vegeta said.
"But I am really, really going to enjoy fucking your ugly face up even more. Cos I don't care if you are cell, cell's son, cell's daughter, cell's clone or a wannabe cell. All I care about, is that you look like someone I want to cut to shreds, and then burn to cinder…and you know what…I am going to do just that", and then putting on his typical sadistic grin, Vegeta rushed at the cell in front of him.
