"The thing about Cell," Gohan said, "is that you can blow him up in a million pieces and he'll regenerate even stronger than before."
"So we have to make sure there's nothing left of him?" Vegeta asked.
"Yes," Gohan said, "in our world, we all surrounded Cell as Super Saiyans and attacked together."
"Did it work?" Bulma asked.
Trunks who was driving the space ship back to Earth said over his shoulder, "it did, but the damage to our world was done. That's why we came back here."
"If we can avoid that kind of destruction here then we will," Goten said.
"Our goal is to show you what you showed us," Marron said, "how to become a Super Saiyan."
Vegeta stood up with a growl, "I'm ready."
"This training can be intense," Videl said standing up, "Saiyans can get pretty hungry so I'll prepare food."
"I can help," Bulma offered. Vegeta scoffed. "Shut it Veggie!" Bulma snapped.
Vegeta shrugged. "Alright, alright, enough of the arguing," Trunks said, "Goten take the wheel." Goten stood up and took Trunks' place.
Gohan stood up and pointed to the gravity room, "let's get started shall we?" Vegeta stood up and followed Gohan and Trunks.
When Marron stood up to follow them Vegeta whirled around. "Where do you think you're going woman?" Vegeta said.
"She's helping," Trunks said.
"A woman? Helping?" Vegeta scoffed.
"Don't underestimate Vegeta!" Bulma shouted from the kitchen.
"Whoa, that doesn't taste too good," Videl said having tasted what Bulma was making.
"Told ya," Vegeta scoffed.
"Hey I'm a scientist not a cook!" Bulma argued.
"Okay then you can drive this ship and I can help with training," Goten said.
"Fine," Bulma said taking the wheel.
"Okay, so blondie you can help in the kitchen," Vegeta said waving his arm submissively at Marron.
"Da-Vegeta," Trunks stammered, "um Marron was the first one of us to become a Super Saiyan."
Vegeta blinked in surprise and Bulma shouted out a loud, "hah!"
"No wait, that's impossible," Vegeta growled. "How did she do it before all the men?"
"Cell tortured and killed her mother in front of all of us," Trunks said.
"Oh God that's horrible," Bulma said.
"That's cause Cell is horrible," Videl said
"It was such a horrible death."
Gohan touched Marron's arm gently, "she kind of lost it after seeing that, turned Super Saiyan."
"We all followed afterwards pretty quickly," Goten said. "But Marron was the first."
"If you're so strong prove it," Vegeta challenged.
"Ohh please show him," Bulma said. Marron didn't even flinch. In an instant she flashed into her Super Saiyan state. She zoomed through the air so fast she disappeared out of sight. She appeared behind Vegeta wrapped her arms around Vegeta's chest and flipped him over with a strength so hard that Vegeta could neither react nor retaliate.
Bulma laughed aloud and cheered, "hell yeah! You go girl!" Vegeta peeled himself from the wall he made a dent in when Marron threw him and grumbled angrily.
Marron crouched into a fighting stance waiting for Vegeta's counter-attack. Vegeta straightened up and didn't attack. "Kakkarot has flung me like that before, but the way you threw me was much stronger."
Marron grinned, "of course once he turns Super Saiyan he will be much stronger than me."
"And so will I?" Vegeta asked.
"Of course," Marron said.
"You'll be stronger than all of us," Gohan said.
"Then train me," Vegeta said.
"Even me?" Marron said.
For that response Bulma turned around to look at Vegeta. If Vegeta agreed to the help, it meant that he validated this young girl as an equal and that was more then he ever thought of any woman. Vegeta glanced at Bulma and gave her a small little smile that said, 'I love you,' though he would never actually say the words. Bulma smiled at him as Vegeta turned to Marron and said, "yes, with your help."
...
"So he's your best friend?" Chichi said.
"Yes," Kakkarot said.
"And he's gonna fight to death with your brother?" Chichi said.
"Well I don't feel bad in any way for my brother," Kakkarot said, "Radditz broke several laws Chichi, and Krillin has every right to kill him for trying to kill his mate."
"But why is Krillin's life in danger too?" 18 said joining the two in the arena which was already filled with Saiyans all waiting on King Vegeta to start the Aktachan.
"Because Saiyans don't believe in executions," Kakkarot said, "it's a dishonorable death."
18 sighed in distress, "I can't lose him Kakkarot."
"You won't," Kakkarot assured, "Krillin is stronger than he looks."
18 sighed and Chichi gently touched her shoulder, "just have some faith."
"Thanks," 18 said, "I'm 18 by the way, Krillin's mate."
"Your name is 18?" Chichi said.
"I like it better than my original name," 18 said, "Juuhachigou."
"What's wrong with that name?" Chichi asked.
"I don't like names given to me by people who have no right to give them," 18 said.
"You sound like Piccolo," Kakkarot said, "the Namek that rescued you from Radditz."
"Oh yeah, is that why he calls you Goku or something like that?"
"Goku?" Chichi said looking at Kakkarot, "what is that?"
"Don't know," Kakkarot said, "I just think he doesn't like my name."
"What's your name?" 18 asked Chichi.
"Chichi."
"She's your mate Kakkarot?" 18 asked.
"Yes, Radditz tried to take her for himself," Kakkarot said, "he's lucky I didn't challenge him to this."
"Don't even say that!" Chichi said worriedly gripping onto Kakkarot's arm. The arena exploded into loud cheers as King Vegeta walked onto the high platform above the arena.
"Oh Kami here we go," 18 whimpered.
"It'll be okay," Kakkarot assured.
"My faithful subjects," King Vegeta announced making the Saiyans quiet down, "it has been a while since the last challenge of Acktachan, but today a Saiyan fights for the honor of his mate."
The arena broke out in cheers and hollers as the side doors of the arena opened.
"The two challengers," King Vegeta said, "defending his mate's honor, Krillin! And the challenged, Radditz!"
The arena's screams were so loud it was deafening. Krillin flew out of one door and Radditz out of the other. They stood in the middle of the arena facing each other growling and teeth baring. 18 let out a whimper and gripped Kakkarot's arm.
Chichi rubbed her hand softly and said, "it'll be okay."
"Warriors," King Vegeta said, "fight fair and die with honor!" The arena became deafening again as Krillin and Radditz flew at each other.
18 flinched as fists connected together, knuckle against knuckle made a loud cracking sound and sent both Saiyans flying back. Krillin flipped in the air as he neared the wall and pushed off the wall with his feet. Radditz had done the same and they were flying right at each other full speed.
18 let out a shout as Radditz's fist slammed against Krillin's face and slammed him down to the ground. His body made a crater in the ground and Radditz flew down at him. Kakkarot had to hold 18 back as she lunged towards Radditz. "You cannot interfere!"
"But he's my mate Kakkarot!"
"I know, but if you interfere 18, Krillin will die for sure," Kakkarot said.
18 squeaked and covered her face with Kakkarot's arm. Kakkarot gave Chichi an 'I'm innocent' look and Chichi just smiled.
"Yes!" Kakkarot cried suddenly making 18 jump. Krillin had hopped out of the way and kicked Radditz right in the jaw.
18 sighed then yelled, "come on baby!"
"Woo! Come on Krillin!" Kakkarot cheered. Chichi got the hint and started cheering as well. Krillin seemed to hear the cheers and pumped up. He flew right at Radditz and started punching and kicking. The fighting became a blur as flying arms and legs zoomed past any body parts as both Saiyans effectively dodged every single attack.
"Hah!" Radditz yelled throwing an energy burst. Krillin cried out as the blast hit him straight in the chest.
"Krillin!" 18 cried.
"18, relax," Kakkarot said, "that didn't hurt him." 18 looked confused but then turned her attention to Krillin. She saw him falling down to the floor but saw the his face was crunched up in intense concentration. Radditz flew under Krillin, preparing a huge blast. 18 smirked as she saw Krillin preparing his own blast completely out of sight from Radditz.
"I taught him that trick," Kakkarot said.
"He'll win?" Chichi said.
"Radditz has never been good with surprises," Kakkarot said.
"What is he saying? I see his mouth moving," 18 said.
"He's saying Kame Hame Hah," Kakkarot said, "we summon power from Kami and use our full Chi in the attack."
18 looked at Krillin and saw him mouthing the words, "Ha-me."
"Here goes," Kakkarot said. Radditz's energy blast exploded out of his hands as Krillin stopped himself in mid-air, whirled around and yelled out, "hah!" The arena lit up and Radditz's eyes widened. He wasn't ready for it and his blast was completely overtaken by Krillin's blast. Radditz let out a cry of distress as his own blast along with Krillin's enveloped him whole. The arena exploded in cheer as Radditz's body was destroyed from the inside out in a very gruesome manner.
"Ah," Kakkarot groaned not wanting to see his brother's demise.
"Kami!" Chichi cried burying her face in Kakkarot's chest. 18 gasped in horror and froze in her spot. She had no idea Krillin was capable of something like that. The first time they were together she had managed to knock him down enough to get all his clothes off, but now she saw that she would have never been able to do that if he wouldn't have let her.
"And we have a winner!" King Vegeta hollered as Radditz's mangled body fell to the floor. The arena started chanting Krillin's name as the short Saiyan flew to the stands where his blonde mate was waiting.
