Well I am starting to write again, let's see how this chapter turns out. Warning I am writing with two wrist correcting braces, please forgive anything that doesn't sound right.


Bulma and I were at our meeting spot on a cliff on the island that the androids were supposed to attack, we were the first to arrive. "We are about an hour before the others are supposed to arrive Kaien, would you like to rest before the androids come?" Bulma asked me. "To tell you the truth Bulma I think I am a little too tense to really relax," I sat on a boulder not far away, "but I think I am going to meditate for about a half hour to focus my energy." Bulma smiled walking to the other side of the ship to give me a few moments of peace to relax and focus on my energy that I had stored up.

Soon 15 minutes arrived and Yamcha had arrived still jealous of Vegeta and Bulma getting together almost two years ago. I than began to do some stretches to warm up and loosen my muscles to prepare for the fight. Next to come was Tien; he, Yamcha, and Bulma than began to talk. I soon started to lightly, and quietly spar with a invisible opponent behind the air ship still hidden away from view. I then heard dad, Gohan, Krillin, and Piccolo, land. They began to ask Bulma about Trunks, then asked her where Vegeta was, and talked with her for a little while.

"Hey, has anyone seen Kaien?" Dad then asked. I walked out from "I am here dad. I was just trying to relax before the big fight." I saw everyone's jaws drop. "Kaien you have grown. You have grown a lot." Dad said sounding very surprised. Everyone looked surprised except for Bulma. "Well I didn't know how bad of shape I was in from Frieza until I sparred with Vegeta some. Lets just say it was a really bad sparring session, it was like I completely forgot how to fight. But I remembered the Hyperbolic Time chambers so I went to Kami's look out and got Kami's permission to spend five days in the chambers. So I am now five years older than what I should be. That now makes me 17. In a few days the chambers should be charged up enough to be used again though." Everyone seemed to accept my explanation and moved on. We waited for about 45 minutes the androids seemed to be late. I was gently rocking Trunks in my arms as he took a nap when Yajirobe dropped off the senzu beans. As dad and he began to talk I was paying my full attention on little Trunks. He was so cute and sweet when he was a sleep.

Suddenly I heard an explosion and looked up Yajirobe's ship was destroyed and two figures were flying down to the city. I very quickly put a crying Trunks into Bulma's arms and kissed his forehead. "I love you Trunks, Bulma. Please be careful," I said quickly before taking off with the others to look for the androids in the city.


THREE MONTHS PRIER

Gero's Pov

I can't believe it! The young girl with such, intellectual potential was my arch enemy's daughter. I had so many plans for her; I planned to have her help me with my research and creations. I eventually planned to tell her everything soon to have her assist me with Cell. It was all just a big disappointment.

I than began to search through my data base on Son Kaien aka Calypso. The last thing it had about her was she trained with her father from the moment she could stand and that she was kidnaped at a young age and sent to space that was the last bit of information I had about her past. But son Kaien should only be 12, not 17, does that mean she used the time chambers. In a fit of rage I began to type about every moment I spent with the child but no matter what I did I couldn't bring myself to hate the child. She was a lot like I am; cautious, cunning, analytical and most of all pure genius.

I was remembering her talks about psychology and her beliefs about Maslow's hierarchy of needs within all living beings, she always pushed for relationships and trust was some of the top needs. And from our debates I must reluctantly agree. I began to think when Cell is born he will need companionship and mental stimulation other than fighting. I then went to the machine the tiny embryo that is cell is in now and had the computer record me as I explained the hierarchy that Calypso has explained to me. "You must not kill son Kaien aka Calypso. For she is your perfect companion, win her over to your side using any means necessary, she will be a crucial to your mental stability and physical stability." I then stopped the recording and set it to be heard three times a day.

I then began with my next plan on turning myself into one of my many great creations.


Back to Kaien's Pov present

I landed near the park that I have spent many days talking to Dr. Ribbons looking for anyone who might be an android. Which is extremely hard, with today's technology an android could look like a normal person. It was especially hard since you can't sense an androids life energy. I began to run around the city looking everywhere for the androids. I then began to sense other tiny ki's of normal people suddenly disappear. That could be the androids, I felt Yamcha running for the same area. Suddenly his Ki was beginning to drain away, then it started to plummet the way that a person who was dying does. I kicked it into high gear flying to where is sensed Yamcha. I saw dad, tien, and piccolo headed for the same spot. I landed beside dad, and I have to see Yamcha was impaled by and androids hand I could not see what the android looked like though. Seeing Yamcha like that caused my PTSD to act up and I saw myself impaled my Frieza's tail many years ago. I was quivering in fear and shock. I put my hand into my bag and started to pet Adonis' ears (Kaien's emotional support stuffed fox, just to remind you readers) to calm myself down.

Soon the android threw Yamcha to the ground. I froze again, "Dr. Ribbons," I yelled. The android glared at me, "well if it isn't little Calypso, or should I call you Son Kaien, I bet you would have never guessed that the old man you have been talking to in the park all these years would be an android. It was pitiful really with how much we talked about Bio engineering you would have never guessed that I was an android myself. I am android 20."

I growled at Dr. Ribbons or should I say android 20. Dad ordered krillin to take Yamcha and to get him to Bulma for a senzu bean. "Kaien, I know you are mad but you have to calm down and let me handle these guys," dad told me. I had to reluctantly follow his orders since he took the lead in this operation. Soon android 20 was blowing up half of the city. Dad then took off, the rest of us following after him as we headed to an area where no one would get hurt.

We soon landed in a secluded area. I then noticed Dad was clutching his chest, his heart virus must be acting up. Dad then powered up to super saiyan, "No," I yelled as he started to fight android 19. He was just going to speed up the virus. I was about to enter the fight to stop dad but piccolo grabbed my shoulder and shook his head.

My whole body was shaking with anger as I watched dad get beaten. The android was then stealing dad's energy, everyone had then seen enough and went to help dad but we were stopped by android 20. Piccolo was shot down and that is when I readied myself to step into the fight. I was pissed off enough I quickly turned super saiyan and teleported behind android 19 kicking him at the same time as Vegeta was kicking him, knocking the android away from dad.

"Out of the way Kaien, you should have fought when you had the chance," Vegeta said pushing me away. Yamcha then took off with dad. And Vegeta turned super saiyan and started to fight the android, eventually destroying them. And android twenty ran off and we started to follow him on a wild goose chase. Then suddenly android 20 attacked Piccolo draining him of energy, but Gohan saved him. Soon Piccolo and android 20 were fighting again when trunks came saying that this wasn't the correct set of androids from his time line, which is great because that means the next set is probably worse.

Everyone kept yelling at trunks that maybe he got it wrong that these had to be the androids. I soon got tired of everyone dogging on Trunksie so I cut in. "Actually guys scientists' believe that there are multiple timelines and realities, and if you travel back into a time line you can severely change that time lines' reality. Such as our situation with more androids." I yelled out to everyone while dodging random flying objects, and energy attacks. "God Kaien, why are you such a nerd," Vegeta said.

My keen hearing then picked up a familiar sound of a jet engine. I turned my head and saw Bulma's ship coming our way. I then noticed the android watching the same ship. Oh no, Bulma. The android then blew up the terrain around us. I had very little time to react since I was the one furthest away from Bulma as the blast engulfed everyone. I focused my energy into teleporting to the ship I then cradled baby Trunks into my arms, threw Yajirobe out of the ship away from danger, and noticed big Trunks had Bulma. Big trunks then took Bulma to the ground and shielded her with his body while I threw my energy shield around lil Trunks and me.

When the impact of the explosion was over I flew over to Bulma who was looking for lil trunks who was whimpering in my arms. "Don't worry Bulma, I have him," I called out when she started franticly look for him. "Oh thank Kami you have him Kaien, and thank you too future kid." I was absent for half of the conversation about how dr. ribbons was really android 20 who was really Dr. mother fucken Gero, and where his lab was. I hate when people try to hurt defenseless people and especially babies. And you definitely don't hurt people I consider my family. Little did I know I already turned to my super saiyan form and I was about to take off for the lab when Piccolo stopped me.

"Kaien you need to calm down. I already have two hot headed saiyans to deal with I don't need another. Plus I think someone needs to get Bulma and the baby to the safety of their home. It will probably be best if you and Gohan do this." He was right I need to keep calm and not act like Vegeta. For all Bulma depends on me for her and trunks' safety. "Right, I have a hard time when people attempt to hurt the ones I love. I am sorry."

I then walked over to Bulma and baby Trunks. "Are you ready to go home Bulma?" she nodded her head I then proceeded to pick her up bridal style while she carried Trunks. I bet it was a comical site to see, a 4'11" young woman carrying a woman who was over a half a foot taller than her and a baby at the same time. I then took off flying behind Gohan who was struggling with Yajirobe on his back. We flew to capsule corp. and landed right in the front yard when we eventually got there.

When we landed I saw Ms. Bunny watering the flower gardens as usual and Dr. Briefs reading a Science magazine. As soon as Gohan dropped Yajirobe off he flew home to see dad. "So Kaien are you going to go back to help the others," Bulma asked. I simply shook my head. "I since with how things are going these new androids are probably just toying with them. I wouldn't be much help if Vegeta can't get over himself to use team work. And maybe we would have a slight chance. I am taking a shower and making a plan on how to defeat them, or something I don't know I need to think." I walked off to my bed room and bathroom. I got into my room and locked the door. I threw my bag onto the bed and started to angrily pull off my clothes as I walked into my bathroom turning the shower on a cool setting to help cool my temper.

I was useless today. I froze up with that pathetic Frieza image because it was the first one I had in months, then I found out that my friend Dr. Ribbons was really my enemy Dr. Gero, dad got sick, and nobody would let me fight today. I took my peppermint shampoo and conditioner to wash my hair and my peaches and cream scented body wash and washed my body of today's disappointment. I got out of the shower and power dried myself. I then tied my hair into a low pony tail. I went to my room bound my chest, put on a pair of underwear, an pair of black leggings and my long green hoodie like short sleeve t-shirt that went to my knees. And as always I put on my bandana, gloves and a pair of ankle boots. I then picked my bag back up and headed back down stairs.

I went down stairs and heard the news about how the guys were beaten pretty badly by the androids, and they managed to get away. And now they were relocating dad away from our house so the androids couldn't do anything to him. Bulma then asked me to go with her to meet big Trunks and Gohan to find this 'new' time machine. I agreed and flew beside Bulma's one seater jet. When we got there everyone was puzzled since it was the same time machine.

"Well if it is the same time machine, judging by the damage and the moss it probably arrived four years ago. And who ever used it wasn't Trunks, because he A) would not have left it here B) Damage the machine C) He wouldn't have a reason to hide from us and finally D) whatever creature that used this machine was in an egg. So from what I can predict this time machine was most likely stolen from another alternate future Trunks by maybe a… giant bio engineered, bug monster used to come to the past. That creature might have buried itself in the ground somewhere unless it's maturing period is up then it would have shed its skin and walking around the earth as we speak," I said. Bulma, Trunks, and Gohan were giving me strange looks. "Maybe we should look around before we go talking about big bug monsters, also I think you have been watching WAY too many old syfy movies with dad," Bulma said. I shrugged my shoulders.

Sure enough we came across a giant cicada like monster shell. The goo that was inside was still fresh. "I told you so, giant bug monster." I said. "How do you even guess stuff like this Kaien, you even did stuff like this all the time when I was a kid. How in the hell do you do it." Trunks yelled frustrated. "I don't know; over active imagination, I'm physic, I am batman, I used my amazing detective skills, women's intuition. Take your pick of reasons." I said in a deadpanned tone. "Why do I always bother asking it is always the same answer in the same tone of voice for everything," Trunks groaned.

"Well if you guys are done with me I think I am going bug hunting in a few nearby cities for this thing ciao," I said teleporting far away before anyone could stop me. I have been sensing a massive decline of human energy all day. Suddenly my cellphone began to ring playing my ring tone 'Video killed the radio star'. "What's up Bulma," I answered. "You know what is up young lady. Some androids and now apparently a big bug is wandering the earth and you just disappear without a care in the world. I don't know where you are, and what if you are attacked what will you do then. We are going to have a serious discussion about your safety when you get home young lady." Bulma yelled into the phone and hung up on me. Well that was pleasant, I wonder which one of my research files she is going to delete as my punishment. Oh well I keep everything on a flash drive in my bag so I think I am still good.

I flew slowly over a few towns seeing only cloths littering the ground. I noticed that there was a little hole in each of the cloths, like soothing stabbed them and sucked the people right out of them. For some reason my mind brought me back to a talk I had with Dr. Ribbons about the possibility of creating a person form multiple peoples DNA. Could this strange bio engineered giant cicada be something he created from the future? Could it be sucking the life energy out of these people? When I got to ginger town the same thing was going on here. My theory did make since. I started to head toward where I felt a few small groups of life. I soon started to hear gun shots and screams. Yup I guess it is a giant bug monster, I thought as I blasted off that way.

I then saw people running in large groups. I pulled a bullhorn capsule out of my bag and spoke into it. "Citizens of Ginger city the thing that you are running from can probably sense large groups. It is best if you split up, scatter, and get away from the city and stay in lesser populated areas. Do not try to fight the creature, I repeat do not try to fight the creature." All of the people began to form smaller groups, scattering and going toward the edges of the city. I turned the bullhorn back to a capsule and put it inside of my bag. 'Well I did all I could for these people. Now the only other thing I can do is find out what this monster is and destroy it.'

I flew down landing on the broken pavement; I then started to walk towards the area where everyone was running from. As I walked I noticed more and more left behind clothing and buildings that was damaged. The city was so quiet and ominous; it was just like a scene from some horror movie. Girl goes where she shouldn't only to be stalked by the monster. Ok maybe I was paranoid, but I could defiantly tell something was watching me and following me. I couldn't sense any other life energy except for one that was trying to hide itself. I soon stopped, "HEY I KNOW YOU ARE OUT HERE, STOP BEING SUCH A CREEP AND COME OUT FROM HIDING," I yelled out.

I soon heard the echoing of footsteps and a chuckle. Soon a slow clap started, I turned to the ally that I heard it coming from. "My, Son Kaien… or should I call you Calypso, I am amazed that you could find me so easily when my power level was hidden so well. I must ask how you did it," the creature stepped out of the shadows then. Yup I was definitely right about a giant cicada stalking about.

"Well I just got back from finding an abandoned time machine and I assume a husk of maybe your larval form. I guess you are some form of bio engineered thing Dr. Gero created from one of our conversations about combining DNA and genes. I guess you are from the future here to do something that Dr. Gero designed you to do. Am I correct to assume this?" I asked. The creature blinked its' cat like eyes.

"Your hypothesis is correct, Dr. Gero was right you are sharp. I believe you will be my perfect mate." "WHAT," I yelled my face breaking the cool mask I had on since I entered this city. The creature smiled and walked up to me cupping one of my cheeks with his hand making me look up into his eyes. Oh gosh I need an adult… Oh wait I am basically an adult now. "I have been hearing about you for over 20 years and how you are the only woman fit to stand by my side; cautious, strong, smart, and oh so beautiful you are. All of these qualities make you the perfect mate for me," he said.

"Get away from me you creep," I said pushing a small weak ki blast to his stomach. It exploded against him and I jumped away from him. "oh how feisty, I like that. But I understand; I was being rude, I haven't yet introduced myself," the creature then bowed like a gentleman, "I am Cell. I was created by Dr. Gero; he used only the DNA from the best warriors that has been on earth, such as Goku, Vegeta and piccolo. I am here to gain strength by absorbing humans until I am strong enough to absorb android 17 and 18 to reach my perfect form."

I then heard a man cursing and trying to get a car started somewhere in the city. I noticed Cell looking that way and in a blink of an eye Cell was gone. 'Oh shit,' I thought I then felt Piccolo's energy touching down in the city I ran towards it and where I felt Cell. "Piccolo be careful," I yelled when I saw him standing in front of Cell. I ran next to piccolo to help him face cell when I then witnessed Cell stabbing the man he was dragging with his needle like tail. Again I had a short flashback of being impaled by Frieza's tail. The man began to be drained until his life energy was no more. It was one of the most sickening things I have ever seen. He basically drank that guy.

"Now that we got that vermin out of the way, you're next piccolo. I hope you are impressed Kaien." Cell said, he then began to power up. I froze feeling terrified, "F-Frieza, no. No he is dead but that is Frieza I'm sensing." I began to hyperventilate and fell to my hands and knees. I started to relive my time on Frieza's ship in my head; all of my scars began to hurt. I remembered all of the people Frieza made me kill and all the planets I was forced to destroy. I couldn't breathe, my heart was racing, tears was running down my face. Frieza's power level just kept rising higher than I ever felt it before.

"Kaien calm down it's not Frieza. Stop panicking, I am here but I need your help to beat this guy," Piccolo yelled. I could hear what Piccolo was saying but my brain wouldn't listen it just kept playing the horrible three year on Frieza and Cold's ships. "Kaien! Frieza is dead; remember it was Trunks who killed him. You are back on earth. You have people how will protect you and care for you, so calm down!" Piccolo yelled. Eventually it clicked with me that this wasn't Frieza it is a new villain, Cell. I could feel his power was a mixture of Frieza, Cold, Vegeta, Piccolo, and Dad. I had calmed myself down now and I was bringing my breathing back to normal. I didn't even notice until now that I was squeezing Adonis tightly against my chest. I stuffed my fox back into my bag and stood up.

"Thanks piccolo, I'm sorry for losing myself like that. It won't happen again," I said. I then noticed Cell watching me intensely. "Okay Kaien, if it looks like in need help back me up." I nodded my head and powered up to super saiyan incase piccolo needed my help so I could be ready. I then watched Piccolo battle Cell, it was amazing how strong Piccolo gotten after fusing with Kami-sama.

Suddenly Cell grabbed hold of piccolo from behind, stabbed him in the arm and began to suck out his life energy. I quickly took action and teleported behind the two charging my attack. "Hey Piccolo… Dodge," I yelled. Piccolo rammed his head with Cell's face and got away leaving a stunned Cell. "Shooting Star Arrow," (one of Zarbon's attacks) I yelled and shot the pinkish wave at Cell. Cell just narrowly dodged my attack. I soon teleported beside Piccolo on the ground; Piccolo then proceeded to ask Cell questions about his back story. Then surprised Cell by ripping his arm off and grow a new one.

Soon Trunks and Krillin came to our aid to help fight this monster. Cell continued to talk looking back behind him as he flew up. The only thing behind him is the sun; realization donned on me I quickly looked away and shielded my eyes as Cell shot a solar flare. While the others were blinded I quickly followed Cell's energy with my eyes protected.

When I got out of the solar flare range I unblocked my eyes. Cell was running away on foot so the others couldn't sense his power but I could. Like hell I would ever lose track of anyone who even has a smidge of Frieza's power. I was following him behind on foot as well. 'Damn, he is fast. I can barely keep up with him, I have to stop him before he kills anyone else.' I thought to myself. 'I have to stop him because I now realize that he was created using many of the things Gero and I talked about when I thought he was Dr. Ribbons. Many of the genetic theories that I cleared up for Gero were probably used to create him. My psychological theories were used to create his psyche.' I shook my head to clear my thoughts. I had to have a clear head when I fought Cell. Cell stopped up ahead, when I got to the area where I could sense where Cell's energy was he was nowhere to be seen. I looked around me, trying to focus where his energy is at. Suddenly I felt his energy right behind me. But it was too late there was a chop to the back of my neck nocking me out.


Cell Pov

"Clever girl," I chuckled. Son Kaien is the perfect mate indeed; I caught her before she could fall to the ground and cradled her to my chest. Even under all of her scars she is gorgeous, no the scars only add to her beauty. It was obvious that she was terrified of Frieza and there for she was scared of me. It is infuriating.

I know I will have no other woman by my side but her; but I will have to wait to make her my mate when I am in my perfect form. I laid her underneath a nearby shade tree. I pulled her hair out of the pony tail she kept her hair in and ran my fingers through the beautiful black silk. Her black hair is paired so well with her pail white skin and eyes as green as a forest. I brought the leather cord she used to tie her hair back to my nose and took a deep sniff. It smelled just like mint and peaches, just like she does, so I tied the leather cord around my wrist. I had to have her, in every way possible but I know that it would have to wait until I am perfect.

I left her underneath that tree in the forest, knowing she would soon be awake. I ran towards the next nearest town; Niki town. Absorbing all of the humans here should give me plenty of energy to fight the androids. I licked my lips, "Soon Kaien my dear. I will be complete and you and I will be together forever."


Kaien's Pov

No matter how much you get knocked out, coming back to always hurts. I sat up slowly trying to be careful of my stiff neck and aching head, I ran my hand through my hair. 'That's funny; I could have sworn I had it up before while I was chasing Cell.' As soon as that thought dawned on me I realized what was going on. I was chasing Cell before he could get to the next City to absorb more people when he knocked me out. I looked around for my hair tie but I couldn't find it anywhere. Dang that was my favorite one too; it was made of really soft dark brown leather that held my hair in place while I fought and turned super saiyan really well. Wait did he do anything to me while I was unconscious. I looked down my clothes were still on and in one piece so I don't think so.

I tried to sense out Cell's energy again but my head was hurting too much to focus on sensing power levels. I got up with a groan. I didn't do much today but everything hurt; I guess it is from all of the emotional and mental stress. I carefully took to the skies watching the area around me. I don't think there will be many more fights for me today, it was already starting to turn dark out and I am pretty sure everyone else is resting. I teleported back to capsule corp. to check in with Bulma (and grab something to eat), she filled me in on everything. I was out for a full day. Dad was recovered; he took Gohan to train with him at the look out. Vegeta and big Trunks was just entered the time chambers; after them it will be dad and Gohan. Everyone else was just hanging out at Kame house waiting for the androids.

I thanked Bulma deciding it would be best for me to stay at Kame house with the rest of the Z warrior for all I was almost stronger than Piccolo, they might need me. I teleported to Kame house, everyone was inside asleep and Piccolo was on the beach meditating. He looked up at me when I arrived.

"Where have you been, everyone was worried Cell got you or something." Piccolo growled quietly. "Nope the creep didn't absorb me. No it turns out the guy has a strange obsession with me. I blocked the solar flare and chased him into the woods. I guess I wasn't paying enough attention because he knocked me out. I have been passed out in the woods for a day and a half. Cell has been out absorbing a lot of people. I have a headache from hell, I am still mentally stressed from a long day the other day and I guess he hit me pretty hard on the back of the head so I demand sleep, Good night Piccolo," I said irritated and went to a sandy patch under a palm tree.

I pulled out three capsules from my capsule case (hold 9 capsules). I let each of the capsules pop open. Soon I had a first aid kit, a sleeping bag and pillow, and a tent already put up and together. I took a few pain killers then turned the first aid kit back into a capsule. I grabbed the sleeping bag and pillow and entered the tent for some much needed rest. (because being unconscious isn't really rest) I curled up in the sleeping bag with Adonis, soon I found the sleep that I needed. Because tomorrow I am going to find Cell and destroy him and the rest of Dr. Gero's creations.


Authors note: Hey guys. Thanks for reading, we have officially got to the Cell x Kaien part. I have been watching Dragon ball z Abridged a lot recently, see if you can find the Abridged references. Let me know in the comments what you found and if you found it. Oh and for those who may not know Maslow's Hierarchy of needs here you go:

1. Biological and physiological needs - air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep

2. Safety needs - protection from elements, security, order, law, stability, freedom from fear.

3. Love and belongingness needs - friendship, intimacy, trust and acceptance, receiving and giving affection and love. Affiliating, being part of a group (family, friends, work).

4. Esteem needs - which Maslow classified into two categories: (i) esteem for oneself (dignity, achievement, mastery, independence) and (ii) the desire for reputation or respect from others (e.g., status, prestige). Maslow indicated that the need for respect or reputation is most important for children and adolescents and precedes real self-esteem or dignity

5. Self-actualization needs - realizing personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth and peak experiences. A desire "to become everything one is capable of becoming

And as always thank you for reading. Be sure to leave a comment and review.
