Okay so we had a double take yesterday and some good reviews. Let's recap on what happened last time cause it is important. Mirai made peace with Vegeta (yea!) but if he wasn't to keep the peace he needs to make it up to the people he insulted while he was drunk. Meanwhile Cell has been plotting against Mirai but was offered to leave to Mirai's timeline with him.

Okay that's enough recap. Now it is review response special host Krillin!

Krillin: Yea! I get to do the disclaimer!

Me: No you get to respond to our readers.

Krillin: Oh, okay T.T

Me: First review comes from I-Love-Trunks1. I-Love-Trunks1 says:

"I love this story!

Poor Trunks and Vegeta, but it was still really hiarious

Cant wait for more!"

Well I-Love-Trunks1 it was awesome, I actually got the idea from a prank we actually did. We didn't have to worry to much about writing on his face because the wedding we went to was ICP themed so he was wearing clown make up that covered it.

Krillin: Hey! You said I could respond to reviews!

Me: Sorry got over excited, next one is yours. This one is from Fan-to-fiction. It reads:

"WOOT double update. Love the father/son bonding (note the sarcasm).

Keep going."

Yes we all love those bonding moments. Sarcasm noted btw-

Krillin: Hey! You did it again dammit!

Me: I didn't here any of those reviews directed at you!

THAT'S RIGHT KIDZ! NOW YOU CAN REVIEW AT ANY CHARACTER YOU WANT! YOUR REVIEW TO THE CHARACTER AND THEIR RESPONS WILL BE POSTED UNLESS ASKED OTHERWISE!

Chapter 14

Mirai ran out of the house and decided to hit Gohan and Videl first. If there was any forgiveness to be asked for, it would be asked from them first. He turned to an alley in the back and took flight for Gohan's and Videls.

…….........

Cell sat on a rock outside of Gohan's house. Next to him Piccolo had been busy meditating, he was boring Cell to death. Cell had plummeted himself in his own thoughts. He remembered back to the party Mirai had actually offered to bring him with him back home. Cell figured that after the whole incident years back Mirai would want no part of him. Then again he did help Cell escape, it may have been for his own benefit, and no doubt that this was Mirai's own benefit as well, but it still surprised him a bit. He had never been asked to go home with anyone.

Why did Mirai want him to go with him? It was confusing him beyond thought. He began to feel a migraine from thinking to hard. He opened his eyes and looked at his perfect form in the well water. He and Mirai had spent quite a bit of good times together sense they had returned. They both drove Vegeta to the point of trying to blow an entire island up, he smoked his first spliff with Mirai, they both went to Gohan's first wedding, Cell had avoided being seen with him but still. The whole time Cell had spent with Mirai he had also taken control of his mentality, been manipulating his friends into thinking Mirai was just playing games with their heads, even somehow caused Mirai to go against his own father.

Then again Mirai had beat him at every turn. He found a way to amuse himself and turn tables on Cell so he got the short end of the stick. Cell felt a smile form on his face. A shocking discovery came across his mind, had he and the young demi-saiyan become real friends, or was the demi-saiyan playing him? Mirai didn't seem to hold anything against him, he seemed pretty confident with himself that Cell couldn't really do anything to cause any real damage. Cell quickly made the thought go away only to have it replaced with another intruding thought, he was actually having fun with the twisted vampire.

Speaking of the devil, he was actually headed his way. Cell looked over at Piccolo who seemed to notice Mirai's ki coming closer. Piccolo nodded saying he could feel it to.

Cell felt a slight pang of guilt remembering something he had said to Piccolo earlier that day.

FLASHBACK!

Cell arrived back in front of Gohan's house and saw Piccolo meditating. He walked over to the namik and sat down levitating beside him. Piccolo felt the intruder but ignored him.

"Well I must say," said Cell, "last night's performance was entertaining to say the least."

No response.

"I kind of liked that comment about Gohan being as boring as you. I imagine you took it a bit personally though."

Piccolo slightly twitched, it had bothered him greatly, he wasn't that boring was he?

"Hehehe that kid's got evil in him that's for sure."

"Yes he does," said Piccolo, "but what happened last night we can't really hold against him, he had drunk entirely too much."

"Ha! The more drink the more the truth comes out!"

Piccolo did not respond.

"He may end up being the next one to tare things up if you know what I mean."

"I know what you mean but I'm not listening to this. You want to convince me that he is evil. You have somehow convinced Gohan, I can tell by the way Gohan looks at him with uncertainty. And what you said to Bardock is obviously not escaping his mind either. You need to stop before you cause real problems."

"Problems? Me? I'm just stating the obvious. They are the ones who are taking it to heart."

"Because of you Bardock and Gohan both believe he is a danger. Gohan told his father what you told him and now even Goku is having doubts. But that is what you wanted isn't it?"

"All I want is to take advantage of the time on earth I have left. Afterall, what's going to stop you all from killing me as soon as he leaves. Especially Vegeta, you know that the only reason he has not killed me yet is because he favors Mirai, he just wont admit it."

"He does put up with a lot from him, I can't argue that, as far as admitting it, what is the purpose it is obvious enough. Everyone knows it and he knows they do."

"If you ask me, I think Vegeta is giving into Mirai's little mind games."

Piccolo did not respond, only continued with his meditation. He was trying to turn him from Mirai, he knew it, but he could not doubt that Cell was not a liar.

FLASHBACK END

Mirai landed and saw the namik and android standing in the front yard. Piccolo nodded to him and Mirai returned the gesture jerking his head up as a quick hello. Piccolo stalked off to the other side of the yard so as to listen in but not intrude. Cell was poisoning minds and he could not risk Mirai giving into his words.

"What are you doing here," asked Cell.

"I could ask you the same question," responded Mirai.

"I'm hanging out with Piccolo, it's not easy being green you know."

"Yea," chuckled Mirai, "I'm just here to talk to Gohan and Videl."

"Do you really think that is a good idea," whispered Cell, careful not to let Piccolo hear. Piccolo's ears twitched, he could no longer here the conversation going on and that worried him.

"Well, yes, I do actually."

"No way, I have a better idea on how to fix everything."

"Do you," asked Mirai.

"Yea, let's go get the dragonballs, whish to go back in time, and then warn yourself not to drink at the party."

"Why not just use the time machine," asked Mirai.

"Because it would not affect this timeline, you know that." Mirai nodded his head. He had a big grin on his face, why had he not thought of that before! If he stopped what happened from happening then non of this would ever happen.

"I have an even better idea," he said. Cell moved closer and let Mirai whisper his idea in his ear.

"Why not wish to go back in time and stop you from killing me," he suggested. Cell thought on this a little bit then nodded.

"Brilliant. Let's go."

"Wait," said Mirai, "this is a all well and good but how do we find them?" The two stood in silence. Neither of them had any idea how to track a dragonball. Then it came to Mirai. He quickly turned back around and headed back for his place. Cell, very much confused now, followed to see where his 'friend' was going.

Piccolo watched the two go, he had no idea where they were going or what either of them was planning. He ran inside to get Gohan and gather the others.

………………………

Mirai smirked in a way that would make Vegeta proud. His plan was going according to plan so far. What Cell didn't know was that he was not going to use the dragonballs for the reason Cell proposed. He was going to wish for his mortality back, his life back, and to be rid of this schizophrenic curse forever.

Close behind him Cell was smirking to himself. He mentally laughed to himself, Mirai thought he was going to fix everything, what he didn't realize was that he was actually about to help Cell get Freeza back far more powerful then before.

…………………….

"Piccolo," said Gohan, "are you absolutely sure those two are up to no good?"

"Gohan, Mirai came here looking for you probably to apologize about what happened at the wedding, Cell got there and they talked to quietly for me to hear them and they both flew off. Cell has been messing with our minds Gohan!"

"What?! How?"

"He is pointing out every little thing Mirai does wrong and dramatizing it so we turn against him, can't you see!? He and Mirai are NOT friends, they are just tearing one another apart little by little! If we don't stop them they might both end up getting killed!"

"We need to warn the others of what is going on," suggested Videl.

"She's right," agreed Gohan, "I'll go get my dad, brother, Bardock, Radditz, Krillin, and 18. Piccolo you go get King, Nappa, Trunks, Vegeta, Yamcha, and Tien. Videl you get my mother, Bulma, Puar, Chaotzue, and take them to Roshi's."

"Right," said the other two. They all split up to the assigned people. Piccolo smirked the kid was indeed his father's son.

……………….

Mirai lowered his ki to almost nothing. He snuck back into the house and down to his mothers lab. He made himself disappear using his obfusticate and carefully lurked in the shadows. Soundlessly, his catlike reflexes kept his presence a secret from those walking close by enough to see a moving shadow. Mirai felt the voices in his head all talking to him at once saying the same thing.

Green screens

Blue shoes

Mellow Yellow

Eyes on the Prize

Little labels lie

Danger, disaster!

Mirai listened to the riddle play over and over in his head, he could almost see in his mind what the device looked like in his head. He stopped under a window and noticed a room with a green glow coming from under a door. He stealthily moved toward the door and quietly pushed it open and slowly walked in crouched to the floor so as not to be seen. There had been no one in this room for hours, the smell of human was barely lingering anymore.

He noticed that the screen on the computer was green. He smiled and looked around and noticed a pair of his mother's blue flip flops laying lazily on the ground. He walked over to them carefully strategizing every moment that passed. He then noticed a picture of his grandmother sitting on the desk next to his mother's shoes. He slowly lifted himself from his crouched position and saw the dragon radar. He picked it up and observed it, the round piece of technology that looked just like the picture in his head.

He turned to leave when he noticed a letter sitting next to the computer. The last two lines of the riddle played in his mind like a broken record. He really should head the warnings but he was a teenager, fuck them. He confidently walked up and picked it up. It was a letter.

Bulma,

It's Chichi, I wrote this letter to warn you. Bardock noted something that Cell had said to him. I would have called or visited you but I am so tied down that I have to write and send this as I took a break. I swear these saiyans are real pigs! They are so messy it's driving me nuts! But that's not what I am writing you for.

Mirai rolled his eyes, this was so like Chichi to put something like that in.

If you are wondering about why Bardock and I where nosing about in Mirai's room and reading his diary is because he is dangerous Bulma. I know that Vegeta said something to you about him needing to go home because he is home sick. It was the whole reason he was acting the way he has been. By the way that was not us sitting outside the window when you guys had this fight! It was a big bird! When we left we went home! And Goku was not listening on the other side of the door so tell Vegeta to shut the hell up! Anywho, you know I don't agree with Vegeta, ever, but I think this time it is best that you listen to him and send Mirai home. He is bad news Bulma, I repeat, bad news! He is going to bring about an end to us all!

Love,

Chichi

PS: Those flip flops are not shoes honey, you need to put real ones on, it's not safe working around chemicals with bare feet honey.

Mirai looked over at the flip flops, she obviously headed Chichi's words. Mirai put the letter back and crouched to the floor once again. He snuck out of the house and out of the yard to meet up with Cell. Mirai furiously walked passed Cell. Cell tried desparately to keep up.

"Hey, wait up," he yelled, "what is the matter with you?"

"What did you tell Bardock and the others," asked Mirai turning around furiously.

"Nothing! Just that I worry about you is all kid."

"Bullshit! You don't worry about me you are worried about your own ass! Fuck it, come on let's get those dragonballs so we can reverse what happened and I can get the fuck out of here! I hate everyone here!" Mirai was dangerously close to tears. He tried to hide them. The letter was sent before the wedding that was obvious, the date on the paper showed that. Sure what Mirai had done was stupid sense he got there. Shit he could have killed someone with the things he had done in just a few days. But had he ever showed any display to want to purposely hurt any of them?

Yet here they where writing secret letters about him. He knew the real reason behind sending a letter, it was so he would not hear the conversation. Why had he not sensed this going on? Great, he was a failure as a person, a hero, a villain, AND a vampire! He was a failure as a saiyan, he was a failure as a vampire, he was a failure as a student to Master Gohan, he was a failure to his own friends, at least the people he thought was his friends, and he was a failure to his own family. He was alone here. Again he had the urge to go home and say fuck them. He wanted to make his wish and go home and live life as long as he had to and then die.

……………………..

After talking to his son, Vegeta and his father King went out to a disterted waist land to spar. After several hours of intense fighting the two depart. Vegeta landed in an alley near by, he would just walk the rest of the way. He was about to step out of the alley when he saw Mirai pass by. His face was tear stained and he had what looked to be a crumpled piece of paper in his hand. Mirai threw it at the trashcan near by and Cell tagged along trying desparately to keep up. He watched them walk by and picked the paper up and read it.

"Shit." Vegeta sensed out his wife's ki and felt her at Roshi's island with Chichi and the others.

……………………..

"Where is Vegeta at," asked Gohan.

"Good question," said King, "he and I were sparring, then we departed, haven't seen him sense." Just then Vegeta came walking through the door with a piece of paper in his hand.

"We have a problem," he said holding it up. Bulma and Chichi both went pale, they both recognized the letter right away.

"Where did you get that," asked Bulma slowly.

"Mirai had it, he looked like hell."

"How did he get a hold if it," asked Chichi angrily, the whole point behind the letter was so Mirai would not find out.

"I don't know," said Vegeta, "but I think he read it."

………………………….

Next time:

THE RETURN OF FREEZA!
