Out in the courtyard where three people were stand around a clear crystal ball, gazing intently at the content within the sphere. The two older woman staring in shock and confusion as Krillin's new challenger approached him.
The other person there, the purpled hair, half-saiyan with as sword strapped to his back, stood there for all of second, shaking in panic at what he saw.
"No, No, No," Trunks said as he quickly removed his sword and dropped it along with his jacket onto the ground, instantly transforming into a super saiyan and flying off in the direction he felt Krillin and Cell "This wasn't suppose to happen!"
"Trunks! Where are you going?" Bulma yelled out surprised as both her and baba were knocked to the ground by the sudden transformation and take off, screaming to the sky's, even though she knew he was out of earshot "Who's this Cell guy? How do you know who he is? What's going on?"
Baba grunted as got back on her "I don't know how your son knows, but it looks like it's going to explain what it is itself."
Back in the ruined city, which was now almost completely destroyed from the human warrior Krillin's battle the androids 17 and 18. The victorious human warrior stood between the green and black monster and the incapacitated cyborgs.
"What? Who the hell are you?" Krillin said confused,
"I'm so glad you asked-" The creature said, as he began to exposit about what he was, how Dr Gero had created him, about who's cell's had created him, and how he was going to absorb the androids to reach his final form. About how Krillin's energy had finally led him to the androids who he had been having trouble tracking.
"If that's the case, I'm just going to have stop you too." Krillin said as he crossed his arms in front of his chest, his arms and legs shaking just slightly 'And do it quickly too, or that big power is going to end up coming to rescue me.'
"I'm afraid there's nothing you can do to stop me." Cell said as he dashed forward and hit the tiered short warrior with the back of his hand, sending him a flying a short distance over both of the defeated androids.
"Gaaaah!, Damn it," Krillin swore out as his shoulder crashed into the ground 'I won't be able to do that with my body like this.'
"I must thank you, Krillin." Cell said as he floated over to the Z-warrior, and lifting him up off the ground by his neck "Severing the Androids on a silver platter, and already cut up for me to eat."
Krillin reached up to try and pry the green bio-android fingers from around his neck, kicking his legs uselessly at the creature's midsection.
The evil hybrid creature punched the human warrior hard in the stomach, before dropping him to the ground "For all your assistance in me reaching my perfection, I'll let you live long enough to witness it."
"No," Krillin gasped out, clenching his stomach struggling to breath or stand, as the Monster walked back towards the fallen Androids.
"Choices, choices, where shall I start my buffet?" Cell spoke as he looked over the defeated android, before he reached down and picked up the females severed arm "Maybe with a wing?".
Upon his quip, Cell brought his tail out in front of him and underneath the arm, expanding it's end as he dropped the arm.
All three people there looking on in horror as they actually saw the arm travel through the length of his tail and brought it into his body.
Once the arm was inside his body the bio-androids his muscles all expanded, a golden aura surrounding his body and it was clear to anyone that could sense ki, his power had increased if only slightly.
"Hmm yes, that's great! But enough of the appetizers, time for the main course." Cell said before turning his attention towards the android whose arm he had just absorbed, picking her arm up by her shirt, her arms and legs dangling uselessly in the air as the cloned creature brought his tail up over her head and lowered it over her.
"Destructo Disk!" Krillin yelled out, as he let his signature attack fly, cutting off the creature's tail and the arm that had been holding the android, all three of which fell uselessly to the ground.
"Krillin, weren't you paying attention when I made my introduction." Cell said as he sent a wave of invisible energy towards Krillin, breaking up the ground between them and sending the wounded warrior flying back a short distance, "I have Piccolo's cells inside me."
After letting out a short yell, his tail and hand growing back out as if they weren't just cut off as he picked up the female android yet again "That was a pointless delay."
"Well how about this one!" Krillin yelled out, causing the Bio-Android to turn his head back in Krillin's direction when he was suddenly slapped in the face with something blue, throwing the monster just off balance enough for Krillin to tie his weighted blue undershirt around his head.
"What! What is this!" The Android screamed in annoyance, tugging and pulling at the clothing like an animal with collar it didn't want on.
Wasting no time Krillin instantly changed up his Kaio-ken again, grabbing up both of 17 and 18 under his arms, and flew off as fast as he could.
"I've had enough of this!" Cell yelled out before he started powering up, the shirt slowly expanding before it finally burst off his head into tiny scraps all around him, before he flew off after Krillin.
"Damn it, was kinda hoping that'd last longer." Krillin said, as he gave quick glance back to the already gaining genetic engineered creature, diving down into the forest that was below them.
"That's what-""Oh grow up already." 17 started before he was cut off by 18's yell and glare.
"What the hell are you trying to do? " 18 said glaring turning her glare to Krillin
"If I can just lose him for a few seconds-" Krillin grunted out as he weaved through the trees.
Cell following after them running right through the trees.
"Damn it, he's gaining!" Krillin said through gritted teeth, forcing himself to a sudden stop then immediately shooting backwards, as Cell passed over him.
"You think you can get away from me with a simple trick like that?" Cell yelled out, flipping upside down to chase after man carrying the two androids again.
"Simple tricks almost always seem to work on the cocky!" Krillin yelled out, as he tightened shift his grip on the androids to hold them while bringing his hands to the side of his face, yelling out again "Solar Flare!"
"Gaaaah!" Cell yelled out in pain coming to a quick stop in the air.
Krillin instantly dropped his power as low as he could, and fell out of the sky and began running as soon as his feet hit the ground.
"I won't let you get away!" Cell yelled out, a golden aura just over his skin, as he held out two fingers and flex his a white column of energy exploding out from the ground below him and quickly expanded outward.
"Crap, crap, crap." Krillin yelled out running as fast as he could without using ki. Jumping over rocks, trees roots; while ducking under low hanging branches and getting out of the way of the animal that were also fleeing the androids attacks.
"Waah!" 17 gasped out during one of Krillin's longer jumps the left half of Android 17 began to slip slightly from his grasp. Krillin quickly readjust himself to keep the android from falling.
"Hey! Watch where you're going!" 18 yelled out.
"Wha?" Krillin started to say as he turned his head forward just in time to see the branch that smacked him in the face.
The body of the human warrior kept moving forward as his head did not, sending the androids body's flying from his hands.
"Ow, ow, ow." Krillin hissed out in pain, his forehead and the welt that was growing there.
"Ugh, I can't believe we lost to that, " 17 said covering his eyes with his right hand.
"Well you did..." Krillin grumbled out, still rubbing his forehead, glaring at the male Android.
"So now that you lost that thing," 18 said rolling her eyes "You going to finally destroy us?"
"I ... no..." Krillin said turning to look away from her, as he started walking towards the androids "I don't think I could make a blast big enough to destroy both of you, and since I've also lost track of Cell, I might not be able to destroy the other one in time."
"So, you're just running scared, huh? Pathetic."
"No, I'm tactically retreating." he said as he tied a knot in the female androids shirt where her arm once was. Krillin then gulp as if he had something caught in his throat before adding "And I'm doing this for tactical reason too."
Krillin then grabbed the side of her pants and ripped off her jean legs turning them into shorts.
"What the hell are you doing!" both of the androids yelling out in unison.
"Shush cell might hear you." Krillin managed to yell while at the same time whispering, blushing as he quickly made his way to 17 and tied his two halves together with the jean rags "He has Piccolo's regeneration, he might have his hearing too, even if he doesn't have those ears."
"I really liked these pant!" 18 sheathed as she glared at Krillin, as he began to pick up 17 under his arm, then flung her over his shoulder with a slight hiss.
" Well he had to rip your's, he wouldn't have like the view of my legs as much." 17 said with a smirk.
"That wasn't it!" Krillin yelled out, his face flaming read, quickly removing his hand from where had been on her leg and grip her from the small of her back.
"If I could move I'd kill you both!" 18 said with clenched teeth, and eyes tightly shut.
Several minutes later Krillin was standing at the edge of the forest, not wanting to go out in the open planes yet, bringing his fingers to his forehead.
"I hope is close enough...damn it, should have started learning this earlier." Krillin muttered to himself, as he closed his turned his head back and forth, before he started running through the open planes, trying to get to the nearest cover he could.
Making several mad dashes from what little cover he could find, however between one of these mad dashes a loud yell called out "There you are Krillin!"
"Crap we've been spotted!" Krillin yelled out, turning to look up at the green tailed monster that was diving down towards them, and instantly powered up and took off into the air again.
"Give me my Androids!" Cell yelled out, firing two beams from his hands, that began to chase after Krillin.
"That's my Attack!" Krillin grinned out annoyed, bobbing and weaving to try and lose the homing blast.
"Waaah!" Cell yelled out, putting more energy into the attack to speed up the beams.
Krill continued to move out of the way of the beams, before he moved just right enough to force the blast to run into each other.
"Yes! Got 'em Gah!" Krillin yelled out when he was struck in the back with a basic ki blast, causing the Human warrior to loose his grip, causing the androids to fall from the sky.
The Android 17, managed to grab hold of Krillin legs; the jean ties ripping his other half falling with his sister, both him and Krillin yelling out "18!"
"They're Mine!" Cell yelled out, opening his tail wide and letting the female android and the unconnected side of 17 to fall inside, closing it around them as soon as he could.
As soon as the Bio-Android had brought the pieces into its body it began to pulse and grow as a white light began to emanate from creature before it's body began to change shape.
"Yes! Yes!" Cell yelled out, his voice deeper than before, "This power, it's incredible!
"What the hell just happened?" 17 said as Krillin pulled him up again as Cell floated up
"Damn it!" Krillin yelled, as he got a better hold on 17 again "I failed."
"I'm glad you realize that you can't hope to defeat me now Krillin." Cell said holding out his hand "So just give me the other android, and let me obtain my perfection."
"No ... I could still defeat you ..." Krillin said clenching his eyes shut tight "but it's too late ...help's already arrived."
"Oh you could defeat me could you? That's a horrible bluff Krillin." Cell said glaring at, screaming "Now give me my Android!"
"Not gonna happen!" Krillin said, glaring back at the Bio-Android,
"I've had enough of you," Cell said, dashing forward and punching Krillin in the face, sending him rocketing to the ground, and grabbing 17 before he could even fall an inch.
"No you don't Cell!" Trunks yelled out, as he came flying in out of seemingly nowhere, kicking the green monster in the side of his head, send him hurtling to the ground and away from the android.
"My perfection!" Cell yelled out, dashing toward the falling Android, as he began to fall down to the ground.
"I said no Cell!" Trunks said as took both of his hands and brought them crashing down on the Semi-perfect creatures head, moving his arms about almost wildly in front of his chest "I'll never let you reach your perfect form in this timeline! Burning Attack"
The Super Saiyan teen then fired his large blast at the creature, completely destroy the top of him, it's legs falling to one of the rocky plateau below.
Well it looks like Krillin wasn't able to outrun the Super Saiyan that was coming to his rescue. So is this the end of the of the Androids terrorization of the future? Can Trunks stop Cell from absorbing the last half of 17?
