*Chapter 13*

They flew as fast as they could, keeping close to one another.

Trunks and Pan couldn't stop asking themselves how their time machine could be out there, how was it possible? It just didn't make sense.

"Hey you guys? What about the rest of the people from the time you're from, I mean have the those two androids managed to turn the whole world into a war zone?" Gohan asked.

"Well that's way of looking at it," Pan told him, "Except if it's a war; humans are easily on the losing side. The population has been dwindled to near nothing. Some of the few tens and thousands of us still alive live in secret underground bunkers."

"Wow, that's really bad," said Gohan.

Trunks checked his GPS watch, "We're right on top of the area we're looking for, so keep a sharp eye," he told the both of them.

They split up each going their different ways, it wasn't too long before Gohan called out saying he found the machine.

"Nicely done there dad, you've got a good eye," Pan praised him.

Bulma's ship came into view and Gohan went to go get her as Pan and Trunks looked over the time machine in wonder.

"This is just too wired, how in the hell did our time machine get here?" Pan asked confused and frustrated.

Trunks sighed, "I have no idea, but from the looks of it, it seems like it's been here for a long time."

Gohan landed as Bulma made her own landing, Hey Trunks, Pan! Look who's here," she said as she jumped out of her ship. "Did you two miss me while I was gone?"

"I guess so," Trunks told her.

"Is it weird seeing me all young? You got tell me, do I stay this gorgeous in the future?" Bulma asked Trunks.

"Well, you don't really change all that much I guess," Trunks answered with a blush. Pan started giggling at Trunks' embarrassment.

"Seriously? So as the years wear on, my girlish looks are spared from the cold ravishes of time? It's almost criminal!" Bulma said giggling.

"So anyways, mother you need to take a look at this," Trunks said as he pulled out the time capsule and opened it.

"This is the time machine you built; we had it in capsule form since we got here," Trunks explain to her.

"Well that settles it then, this broken down thing can't be yours and Pan's time machine."

"No Bulma, there's only ever been one of these," Pan told her, "As wired as it is, there's only ever been one of these. This is the same time machine we came here in, we don't how, but it is."

"Are you sure?" she asked them.

"Positive," Trunks said as he cleared away some of the moss on the old machine reviling the word 'Hope!'

"You painted that on there yourself just before we took our first trip here, and look, it's on both machines," Pan said pointing to the one her and Trunks had arrived in.

"Hold on a sec, I have to think about this. You can tell this one's been here for a while now, several years from the looks of it," Bulma said.

Pan and Trunks flew up to the top of the old time machine with Gohan. The glass was melted from the inside, like something busted out of it.

"So, what do you think could have made a big hole like that you guys?" Asked Gohan.

"I wish we knew, Gohan" Trunks told him as he opened up the top. He went inside the machine and picked up what looked to be like shells or something.

"Wow that's kinda weird," Gohan said looking at the shells, "It looks like an alien coconut."

"Hey let me see them, please?" Bulma asked.

Bulma examined them and guessed they were some type of egg shells, Gohan guessed whatever made the hole in the dome of the time machine, hatched from the egg.

Trunks sat down in his chair and looked at the controls, "Sigel energy is almost down to zero, but it should tell me the precise time it landed here. Who or whatever flew this ship came here four years ago, a year before Pan and I defeated Freezia and his father!"

"Wait! That's it," Pan said, "that's reason! This explains why the events of your timeline have changed so much." Pan told Gohan and Bulma

"I think you might be right," Trunks said as he climbed out of the time machine and landed beside her. He used an empty Capsule to put the other time machine in, as Gohan carried the one Trunks and Pan came in, in his hand.

"I'll take these things here if you guys don't mind," said Bulma. Holding the egg shells.

"Fine by me, mother," Trunks told her.

"We're all headed to Master Roshi's house, are you coming Bulma?" asked Gohan.

"No I got to get back to Capsule Corp, why?" asked Bulma.

"That's where everyone's going, so when the androids show up, so my dad will have some protection."

"Then with everyone there it should be no problem to take care of the androids, right?"

"Not exactly. Even with me, father, Pan, Tien, and Piccolo, it still wasn't enough to beat the androids," Trunks told his mother.

They're that strong? What about Vegeta! Is he alright? Did he go to Master Roshi's?"

"No, he went somewhere to be alone," Trunks told her.

Pan caught a glimpse of something strange behind the bushes, it was huge and brown. She started walking over towards it. She froze when she saw it; it was a cocoon of a massive bug. She screamed and ran into Trunks' arms clinging to his neck.

"Pan what is it? What's wrong?" He asked her concerned. She was shaking from fright.

"It's a bug!" she cried.

Trunks looked at her with an expression that said 'you've got to be kidding me.' "Pan, a bug? Really?"

"Yes really, this isn't no ordinary bug, Trunk. Just take a look," she said as she point at the bush.

They all went over to the bush. Trunks put Pan down and began to walk over towards the bug.

"Do you think it's dead?" Bulma asked just as scared of it as Pan. Gohan and Trunks went closer to examine it, while Pan and Bulma stood close by without being too close.

"I've never seen anything like this before," said Trunks.

"Do you think this might be what hatched out of that egg that was in the time machine," Gohan suggested.

"It might be, I don't know."

"The better question is, how did it get here?" Pan asked, "Did somebody put the egg in the time machine or did someone come with it? Either way it's still disgusting!"

Trunks reached into the shell. His hand was covered in slime, Pan's face paled even more when she saw the slime. With a mischief's look on his face, Trunks came at Pan with his slimed covered hand.

"Trunks Briefs, if you come any closer I swear, I'll blast you!" Pan told him.

Trunks started laughing, "Pan you're a saiyan warrior and you're scared of bugs and slime," He said laughingly.

"Shut up Purple boy!"

"Well, whatever it is, it still be must be close by," Trunks said shacking the slime off his hand.

"What?!" Bulma said looking around frantically.

A noise from the bushes startling everyone and Bulma ran screaming back to her ship. When a squirrel popped out of the bushes Trunks, Gohan and Pan sighed in relief.

Bulma climbed into her ship, "Just tell me, that thing, It's not really out there… is it?"

"Sorry, but I'm afraid so," Trunks told her.

"Well I guess I should get going, I don't want to be in your guys' way. Oh be sure to stop by Capsule Corp for a visit Trunks, Your Grandma and Grandpa will get such a kick out of it and you come too Pan."

"Common we better get going to Master Roshi's and warn the others," Gohan told Trunks and Pan. With a nod they followed Gohan to Master Roshi's house.

They arrived at Master Roshi's house, Krillin was sitting by the TV freaking out.

"You guy need to see this, there's something wired going on."

The saiyan teens watched in horror at what was happening in Ginger Town. Suddenly the news reporter saw something horrifying and the television went blank . Krillin changed the channel and the same street was seen, but the camera view was sideways. Clothes were lying everywhere in the street.

Trunks explain to Krillin and the others about what he, Pan, Gohan and Bulma had found when they went to investigate the other time machine.

"So what you're saying is, this creature is one that has been responsible for all the changes that have been happening in our timeline?" Krillin asked.

"Yep, we're pretty sure it's that thing, whatever it is," Gohan told him.

"I think it's time we head to Ginger Town," Trunks told Pan.

"I'm coming too," Gohan said.

"I don't think so!" Chichi said running up to Gohan, "I told you one trip and that was it, it's time for you to catch up on your studies."

"But mom!" Gohan pleaded.

"No buts, you're staying right here and that's final!"

Gohan tried a few more attempts to get her to change her mind, but his mother stood her ground and refused to let him go.

"Be careful you two, we don't want anything bad happening to you guys," Krillin said a bit worried.

"Yeah," said Yamucya. "Don't do anything foolish out there; we need your guys' help to defeat the androids."

"Hey don't worry about us, were saiyans after all," Trunks told them before he and Pan blasted off.

It wasn't long before they felt massive amounts of energy, and Krillin caught up with them.

Trunks, Pan and Krillin followed the energy, till they found Piccolo and Tien and the mysterious creature.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Trunks and Pan," The giant green bug addressed them.

"How does this creep know who we are?" Pan asked.

"Yes, I know all about you two my dear, if it wasn't for you two and your time machine, I wouldn't be here now, would I?"

"Are you saying we put you in the time machine?!" Trunks asked him.

"Oh no, you see in my world you two destroyed the androids, I need the androids to reach my perfect form, but when you two killed them there were no androids to absorb, so I killed you two and took your time machine, I have been here ever since waiting patiently for the androids to be activated. Now that they are, I shall finally reach my perfect form," with that the green bug used the solar flare on everybody and made his escape.

"Who the hell was that?" Krillin asked.

"His name is Cell," Piccolo explained, "He was created by Dr. Gero." Piccolo said explaining a little more about who Cell was.

"This is just fantastic," Krillin said sarcastically, "Not only do we have the androids to deal with, but now we have this guy on the loose, this is getting from bad to worse to just plain insane!"

"We should head to Dr. Gero's lab and find that hidden bunker and destroy the Cell of this timeline while we still have a chance," Pan suggested to Krillin and Trunks.

Piccolo and Tien decided to go back to Kame House and try to keep Goku safe while The saiyan teens and Krillin headed to Gero's lab.

Trunks, Pan and Krillin made it to Dr. Gero lab, while there they stumbled onto some documents on a remote-control to deactivate the androids. They found the Cell of the present timeline and destroyed him. They were now heading back to capsule corp to give Bulma the documents.

Krillin was right things were getting from bad to worse, first there were two more androids, Dr. Gero being one of them. Androids Seventeen and Eighteen were activated along with android sixteen. Then they all got their asses kicked in by the androids in a battle, Goku heart virus was effecting him later then it should have been, and now a monster named Cell was on the loose. To say Pan and Trunks were having bad day, would have been an understatement.

After the whole ordeal, Yamucya showed up in a capsule plane with Gohan and the rest of the Z-Fighters inside. Trunks flew off to find Vegeta while Pan and the others were trying come up with a plan to stop Cell.

"Why don't we sneak up on Cell with this plane," Yamucya suggested.

"Umm, let's not, Pan said, "What are we going do? Crash into him killing ourselves in the process," Pan said, irritated. Yamucya smiled sheepishly.

"He-he, I guess that is a stupid idea," Yamucya said.

Pan sighed, her elbows resting on her knees with her hands cupping her chin.

"Hey, you okay Pan?" Gohan asked concerned.

"It's nothing; I'm just worried about Trunks. I hope he's okay," Pan said.

"You like him don't you?" Krillin asked teasingly.

Pan felt the heat rise in her cheeks. "Yeah I like I him, we're friends," Pan said innocently.

"Don't give me that, you know what I'm talking about," Krillin said snickering at Pan's face turning red.

"Leave her alone Krillin," Piccolo ordered. "You're embarrassing the kid."

Suddenly, someone appeared out of nowhere inside the plane. "Dad!" Gohan shouted running up to his father and hugged him.

Pan looked at Goku giving him a shy smile, "Get over here silly, I want a hug from my granddaughter," Goku said opening his other arm for her to come into his embrace. Pan jumped up and hugged him tightly, happy that he was okay.

"Hey everyone, I'm really happy to be here. Master Roshi has filled me in on what's been happening since I've been out of it. A monster called Cell right?"

"Yeah, he's going after the androids," said Piccolo

"Hey Kamiccolo!" Goku said smiling at him.

"Actually, Goku," Piccolo grunted. "It's still Piccolo. I kept my name."

"Oh, Okay. Anyway, I came here to tell you that I'm okay, and we're gonna go train in the hyperbolic time chamber. I just came here to pick up Gohan and Pan."

Do really think that's wise, Goku," Piccolo asked.

"It's the only chance we've got," said Goku. Gohan held onto his father's shoulder and Pan held onto Gohan's arm as Goku put his fingers to his forehead, and just like that, they were gone.
