Chapter 11: An Unusual Rampage
A/N: hey guys! Just a heads up this chapter will be little more violent, but not in the sense of combat, you you get what I mean. With that out of the way, enjoy!
Cell and Prestina landed next to the egar Buu, who was already ahead of the two. When the trio landed together Cell walked up to them and made a few gestures as though he was presenting a new invention at a fair. "I present to you, modern civilization. This is a place, more specifically, is known as South City."
Buu and Prestina looked around in marvel as they saw various new and amazing things. There were large structures that were a verity of different colors and shapes. Some were small and square, others were large and circular while a few were tall and thin with a large sphere at the top. There was a black, rocky substance that made a large, seemingly infinite splintering path beside them. This path went into many different directions and areas, all used by these metal objects that people were inside. The population had people with many different skin tones, facial features, clothing, and hair. Some were even covered in hair with pointed ears and sharp teeth
No one paid attention to the trio as Buu and Prestina continued to look around the city
"This is beautiful!" Said Prestina as she bent down and grabbed a stray newspaper. She felt the texture of the paper and looked at the headline. 'Horrendous accident leads and two dead!' It read with very different characters and shapes than in her own language
"Come, I'll show you two around!" Cell offered as he folded his arms and began to walk to the right of the sidewalk. Buu and Prestina followed while they looked around
The Bio-Android felt this overwhelming sense of freedom that he hadn't felt in a long time. He didn't have to worry about any restrictions or consequences, no devil looming over his shoulder to punish him for things that he did. It was refreshing, so much so that Cell's first thought was to just explore the city before him. The battle from earlier, the death of Vegeta, the torturing of the Twins, everything just felt like a dream to Cell. And now that he had two nice guests with him he was looking forward to absent-mindedly exploring
And yet he also felt destructive in a sense. There was no one that could oppose him at the moment, unless the Super Humans and 16 were to suddenly stage an assault there was nothing that kept him from blowing up the city and leaving. Well, anything except his want to tour the city around with Buu and Prestina
Though him waiting so long would give the Z team plenty of time to make a logical course of action. Then again, their only option would be to spend a few months in the Time Chamber, or learn a some new technique that defeats him instantly
While Cell was thinking, however, there was a distant scream that he could hear. It sounded like it was in a vast amount of pain and needed help
"I wonder what it's like to absorb people for energy..." Cell thought as he looked at the alleyway next to him. "If you'd be so kind as to wait here for a moment, I have to look for something." He stated as he floated through the nearby alley. Prestina was confused as to what Cell needed to do, but she was immediately distracted by the various large machines that picked up other pieces of metal nearby
Cell went through the dark alleyway to see seven people huddled together, each wearing black leather pants and jackets with black boots and a verity of different hair styles. They looked to be a biker gang, and there was a large puddle of bright red blood under their feet. Each one kicked, punched and stabbed a small being in the middle as they laughed
"Wow, you seriously lack creativity. But it's understandable, Vegeta started to repeat himself after week two. There is only SO much one can do differently..." Cell joked dryly as the gang turned around. Two of them were black, two were white and remaining three had face masks and goggles that covered their faces
"And who the hell are you!!" A man demanded as he pointed a knife
"I'm no one really. Just an ordinary bystander who so happened to walk into the scene. Might I add that you guys are doing EVERYTHING wrong. See you have to do everything as slow as possible. Drag out the pain, let him recover for a bit, maybe a few days, and then go back to punching and stabbing him. It'll really reopen the wounds." Cell contemplated as the gang slowly walked towards him, each of the men started to swing their weapons menacingly towards Cell as they surrounded him
"Oh, you want a demonstration? Fair enough, I am well experienced in the craft." Cell vanished from from sight. The men were startled by the Bug man as they looked around. Suddenly, one grunted as he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down to see that Cell's arm had been driven through his chest and was now on the other side
"This one is sharp at first, but once I take my hand out you'll start choking on blood."
Cell then released his arm from the guy's chest as he quickly fell to his knees. He wheezed loudly as he tried to breathe. After a few seconds, the man stopped breathing. The six remaining men started to back away in horror
There was a loud metallic slicing noise as Cell was behind two men with a curved sword. Their arms fell and the top half of their body shifted backwards slightly, revealing the layers of skin and muscles. The men screamed as their body and sliced limbs began to glow, each having been overloaded with ki. They yelled before there was a loud pop, the victims having disintegrated. Cell turned around to face the last four men, his sword disappearing from sight. He then disappeared and reappeared in the same spot, now with a bloodied hand
Suddenly, three men fell to their knees as they felt their hearts and lungs being stabbed by their rib cages. They struggled to stand as they couldn't breathe anymore. After a few seconds, they fell as well, each with blood on their mouths
The last gang member screamed as he turned and ran away, only to run into something and stumble over on his back. He looked up to see Cell, looking down at him
"It seems that you're all out of friends." Cell stated as he walked forward menacingly. The man tried to back away from Cell
"P-pl-p-Please don't kill me!"
"Kill you? No, not yet anyway. First I'll take my time, because there nothing you can do to stop me." Cell stated as he then stepped on top of each of his limbs, snapping them into many different pieces. The man screamed, feeling each arm, leg and rib break
"Humans don't last very long, it only highlights my strengths." Cell said as he stretched his tail and stabbed the man with it. The man went silent as his body shriveled up until it disappeared, leaving his clothing. The energy he gained was able to fill up his stomach and give him a small boost in power as well
Cell walked towards the injured man who was surrounded in his own blood. The injured man was barely conscious as there were various different bruises, stab wounds and holes in his body. He was shirtless and only had a pair of destroyed jeans on
He was a furry and was probably being beat by the other men for being an animal. It wasn't a new thing for Cell, he'd experienced first hand what it was like to be abnormal. The man moved his head to see Cell, who was looking down on him in pity
"A fellow victim as well I see. It seems I must put you out of your misery, it is only courteous of my part." Cell said as he lifted his hand and shot a basic Ki blast that vaporized the remains of the man
"Just like Vegeta and Frieza." He thought to himself, chuckling as he observed his bloodied right hand. There was a certain joy he felt as he killed these weak, insufficient insects, it just felt...right. It was as though a hidden need for blood was deeply satisfied, either from his Saiyan side or Frost demon side. But he didn't know or care about where this need came from, just how he was going to satisfy it
And luckily, for the moment, there was no one around to stop him from doing so, no rules that prevented him from killing as many people as he wanted. And yet he didn't feel like doing that, not at the moment. The instead his mind went to another subject, one that called his attention more than this one
Because now he was free to do what he wanted, when he wanted
Prestina and Buu wandered around the sidewalk for a bit. Originally they stayed put as instructed but after Cell's long absence Buu began to wander away from where Cell left them. With no choice Prestina followed, fearing being alone in this new environment
As scared as she was she was also astonished by what she saw, the people, the buildings, everything was just so new. The Majin couldn't help but wonder and ask herself about everything she encountered, from the walls to the road to the machines, she wanted to know EVERYTHING there was
While observing a pretty smelling flowers in a garden Prestina looked up to see Cell, casually walking towards her. He didn't seem upset or bothered by the two having abandoned him. Instead he looked oddly happy as he wore a small smirk
"Having fun already? I didn't take you for the curious type." He said, seeing the way in which the Majin kneeled over and kindly observed the flowers. This was a stark contrast to Buu, who was in the midst of dashing through the park, chasing a few birds by foot
"What happened?" Prestina asked curiously as she saw Cell come back to them. Whatever it was that he did it must've made him happier
"Nothing important. Now, let me direct you two to a place that you'll love!" Cell said as he guided both Prestina and Buu forward
After a few minutes of searching Cell found a bright colored ice cream shop. The two Majins gasped as they saw all of the bright and clashing colors of the shop. There were many neon colors and the front desk had a showcase area. The trio walked into the shop that had a few couples, five children and a few more adults
Buu rushed to the showcase glass to see all of the different ice creams on display, he practically slobbered over the glass as he stared at all the different colors. Prestina marveled at the items that she'd never seen before
Cell saw this and smirked to himself, guiding these two around South City was oddly entertaining, like watching a dog learn a trick. Seeing Buu cheerfully dash around and Prestina stare in awe at the smallest things brought a certain joy to the Bio-Android, but he didn't know whether it came from
"Hello sir, what can I do for the three of you!" The store clerk asked Cell cheerfully, who was somewhat lost in thought. She wore a bright pink apron with a pink shirt and blue jeans, and a pink hat that matched the colors of the store
"Give me a second." Cell responded as he walked over to Buu and Prestina. "So, what do you two want?" He asked the two as they looked at him excitedly
"ME BUU WANT ONE OF EVERYTHING!!" Buu exclamed, surprising the clerk and everyone in the store, but it seemed like he knew what he was getting himself into
"Um...what is this..?" Prestina asked shyly, she couldn't tell what they were by the looks of them
"It's called 'ice cream.' It's a form of food that we have here on Earth, each colored substance is a different flavored treat." Cell explained, which seemed to make Prestina glad that she knew
"...uh...I'd like the brown one."
"I'll get right on that!" The clerk said before quickly grabbing a cone and scooping all fourteen different ice creams and stacking them on a single cone, as per Majin Buu's request
Once she finished, she carefully passed the cone to Buu as everyone stared at the cone. The lady then grabbed another cone and scooped up a single scoop of chocolate icecream and passed it to Prestina, who smiled at the cone, she could feel the cool air from the treat on top of the small cone
"And you?" The clerk asked Cell, who respectfully declined
"No thank you, I just ate." He said as he walked over to the counter
"Ok that will be...two hundred Zeni." The lady said as everyone gasped at the price, so expensive!
"I see, give me a second." Cell said as looked over to a man sitting at a table, he held an ice cream cone and a wallet full of money
Without a second thought Cell used his telekinesis to snatch the wallet from the man and bring it to his hand. He opened it and pulled a standard dollar and observed it, feeling the texture and noticing tiny details. He had some information as to how money is made, and with some luck...
Cell out both hands together and focused his power into forming something new, soft yet articulated. After a few seconds, a few hundred authentic dollar appeared in his hands. He smirked as he tossed the man his wallet back, money and all, and gave his newly created money to the store clerk
"Here you go, for your trouble." He said as he and the two Majins walked away. The lady at the counter, as well as everyone in the store, was shocked that money could appear out of thin air! What was weirder was the fact that it looked and felt real! The texture was normal, it was colored the same shade of green as any other dollar, and it even had the tiny numbers on it...amazing!
Buu and Prestina enjoyed their ice creams, Buu would took large bites that he would have immediately regret due to brain freeze, only to do it again. Prestina stared at her ice cream, wondering what the appropriate way to eat it was
"You're supposed to lick it. It melts in your mouth." Cell told her. Prestina held the cone and gave it a small lick. She gasped at the flavor of such delicious ice cream as it slowly melted in her mouth, he was right!
Buu and Prestina continued to walk with Cell as they went through the whole city. They saw the park, and all it's lovely animals. They saw a food court, to which both of them ate the scrumptious meals. There was even a museum, and they marveled in the rich history of Earth. Or rather Prestina did, Buu just liked the large bones in display
Cell continued to walk with the two Majins. He had fun watching the two explore an learn. Buu liked to poke and prod at everything that looked, smelled or tasted funny, and Prestina liked to ask lots of questions. Who was that? What was this? What did it do? It was amazing that Cell had patience for all of them
Yet there was still a burning question that needed answering
"Prestina, I hope you don't mind me asking but are you and Buu from the same race." He asked her, both of which were looking at a display of primal tools that humans once used
"Hm? Oh that. I'm still confused about it myself, only that he has the same powers as me, but I've never seen him turn things into 'candy' before." She said, but stopped herself. "Although, I have heard of his name before, but I don't remember when or where."
"Interesting. I'm sure I could get answers from Buu." He thought until he looked to see the creature grab a large bone that held up the T-Rex display. "Or maybe not."
Even then Prestina's response gave him some clues. Were they captured at the same time? Was he some sort of ancestor? Whatever it was it intrigued Cell to know more about these two
As Cell turned his attention back to the display in front of them Prestina scanned his mind once more. He was wondering about her? That was odd, yet, even she wondered how she knew Buu. She was certain that she'd heard his name from somewhere, but it had been a while since she heard anything from her family
With that thought Prestina's mood shifted drastically. It was only a few hours ago that she woke up from her sleep, yet it felt like she was exploring her own planet a while ago
When Prestina thought further into her own situation a wave of dread overwhelmed her. Where was she going to stay? When would she see her family? Would she eve see them again?
Prestina slumped her shoulders and leaned against something sadly, it felt like her mind was now jumbled. This all had to be a dream, wasn't it? There's no way that she'd left her family, let alone her planet
"Mom, dad, sister...where are you."
Cell turned back around to see the depressed Majin leaning against a wall. What could've happened to her
"Is something the matter?" Cell asked as Prestina quickly snapped out of her tranced state. She stuttered and tried to act casually
"N-n-nothing..." she said as she looked at the floor, while taking a few steps backwards. She didn't want to address the situation in fear of making it worse. All she wanted, or could do, was to continue exploring
But now Cell was interested, what was she hiding? What could've switched her mood so quickly? Whatever it was it made Cell curious
"You know, if you have something in your mind then you should speak it, it wouldn't hurt to let me know." He professed, to which Prestina's façade broke again
"...I...I'm still getting used to this place. It's so new and strange, and I haven't seen my family in a while...And, I don't know if I ever will."
So that was the problem. It was understandable, a fish out of water would miss the sea after a while, and she was no different. She was alien, and everything else was new to her. Yet Majin Buu wasn't really acting the same as Prestina, for whatever reason. Maybe he didn't get home sick?
"Hm, that's reasonable. I'm sure that this is very new for you. But if it makes you feel any better, I'm certain that you will see your family, one way or another." He affirmed, which made her happy
Cell wasn't messing around when he stated that either. If things went well against the Z team, who are taking an awful lot to act against him, then maybe he could continue exploring the world, or better yet, the Galaxy. It'd be lots of fun, doing what he pleased. But at the moment he didn't want to leave Earth, not with so much unfinished business
"Thank you."
"It's no problem." They said as they continued exploring harmlessly, though with every passing moment, with every new feeling, something within Cell changed
King Kai shivered at the cold silence of Cell's mind, he could feel 17 and 18 inside, but they were long since quiet
"How much have they destroyed King Kai?" Gohan asked as he took his hour long break
"...nothing. Cell's destroyed NOTHING!" King Kai responded, shocking everyone
"What do you mean 'nothing'!" Piccolo questioned angrily, Cell couldn't actually be sparing the Earth, could he?
"No one has destroyed anything so far! 17 and 18 have gone silent inside of Cell's mind, and he is showing Majin Buu and Majin Prestina around South City!"
"Why the hell hasn't he destroyed anything!" Trunks asked in a confused tone
"...Because he's taunting us. He's sensing the calm in the area before bringing chaos and despair...just like Frieza." A voice said to Trunks as everyone turned to see who it was
Vegeta stood solemnly beside Goku, who took his hand off of Vegeta's shoulder. Almost immediately, Trunks leaped forward and impulsively punched his father in the face, shocking everyone and making Vegeta fall onto his back
"What the hell is wrong with you!?!" He yelled, feeling all of his anger and frustration direct towards his father. "How could you torture someone in our own house?! What would mom think? What would your other son think!?!" Trunks yelled in anger as his hair stood up. He was learning to control his temper better, but this was just too much
"I know what I did was wrong...and there is nothing I can say to help us. But...I was blind Trunks, blind with rage for Cell, and I couldn't do anything, not until it was too late..." Vegeta confessed as the image of Bulma came back to him
The morning was quiet as Vegeta awoke from his slumber. He and Bulma started to share a bed in recent days for a reason that Bulma didn't want to tell Vegeta. Either way it wasn't so bad, saved him the trouble of walking back to his own room every night
He shifted in the bed, he could still feel a presence beside him. Strange considering Bulma always went to work early, never would they wake up at the same time, or even see each other until nighttime. He turned to his right to see that Bulma was curled up besides him
She looked beautiful...she breathed slowly and her arms delicately wrapped around his own. Her hair was the prettiest thing Vegeta has ever seen, it was short and went down her elegant face that he stared at. He knew in that moment how vulnerable Bulma was, how just ANYONE could find some way to inflict harm upon her...she was open for any kind of attack, the realization made Vegeta paranoid. No one would harm her, not if he had a say in it
In that moment he knew that he was with the prettiest woman in his life...he didn't even know how miserable his life was until he finally had something close to him... He was the prince of Saiyans after all, he had to play the part, tough, mean, ruthless, and cold-blooded. But he felt something else...something new...love! He was entranced by Bulma's beauty and understood that he can protect her, shield her from the dangers of the universe. Because she was his, all his and no one else's, and the same went for his two sons
Vegeta didn't think about Kakarot, or Frieza, or Cell. All he thought about was his family, a family he created despite everything he went through, ruined pride, broken bones and years of oppression. This was the true culmination of everything he went through
...And it all paid off...
"...I will protect you...Bulma..." Vegeta said to himself quietly as he shifted to the right and silently hugged his partner with his free arm
"You better be sorry!! Because of you and the androids mom and younger me are dead!! As far as I'm concerned, you're not my father, not anymore!!" Trunks yelled as Vegeta snapped out of his trance
Trunks flew away from the area, north of the planet. Vegeta only slumped as he sat there... regretting his lack of control up until that day... This was his mistake and his alone, and how badly did it effect him
"Hopefully he'll be back before we have to leave..." The voice of Nail said as Piccolo saw the boy fly away
"You should be with him Piccolo, to try and smooth things with the boy." The voice of Kami recommended to Piccolo
"What? Why do I have to do it?!"
"Because you aren't the same as before Piccolo. You know that you can find a way to calm him, as Gohan once did for you." The voice of Kami spoke wisely, which brought back warm memories for the cold hearted warrior
"...You're lucky you can see into my memories old man..." Piccolo thought as he flew towards the direction that Trunks flew
When Piccolo landed he saw Trunks punching the floor in anger, tears flowing down his face. As much as Trunks looked like an adult, it was hard to see him as anything but that naive Time Traveler from seven years ago. He wiped away his tears as Piccolo began to meditate beside him, not saying a word
"...What are you doing here..?"
"Keeping you company...what else?"
Trunks slumped and sat on the ground with red eyes and a red face. The tragedy of his new family struck him hard. He continued to mourn the loss of his mother and younger self, fact is they can still be revived...but the idea of such a gruesome death for them was still too much to bear. He lost more loved ones, and yet he couldn't do anything about it
"...You know, your father had come a long way from who he once was." Piccolo said as he meditated
"...You're just saying that because you want me to continue training..."
"You're not wrong, right now we need both you and Gohan to be level headed if we want this new move to work." Piccolo said before sighing. "Your father, he's changed, I can see it, and everyone else can too. What he did was inexcusable, no one should go through with what he did." He said before looking at Trunks
"But he isn't the same monster as before, not by a long shot." Piccolo said, which upset Trunks much further than before
"But he tortured Cell!! How can that be any better than before?!" Trunks yelled as his hair slowly stood up
"Because he acted on his pain. Just as you try to control your anger, he tried to hold in the pain. He lost his pride the same way as he lost it back on Namek, and then he lost you. Tell me, would you be able to hold in your anger if you saw Cell, the man who killed your mother twice, again?" Piccolo said as Trunks stuttered
"But he tourtured him! That's inhuman! Not a single sane person would do such a thing, not even if they were mad!"
"But he isn't normal, Trunks, you of all people should know that. He was born a Saiyan, raised a Saiyan, and even died a Saiyan. All his life, his values were power, position, and fear. You believe its beneath someone who killed his own only ally, raise many planets to hell and kill millions to tourture an enemy?" Piccolo did his best to reason with the boy. "He loves your mother, he loves kid Trunks, and he loves you, but he's still learning. He knows what he's done and he'll suffer for it, but he's not a saint, you of all people should know that."
"...That doesn't help anything. Dad tortured someone under our noses, that can't just be forgiven..." Trunks thought in silence as Piccolo continued to meditate
"...Do you know what he was like before?" Piccolo asked, trying to further his argument, though it was quite hard to rationalize the actions of an irrational man
"Not like you haven't done it before." The voice of Kami chastised
"Funny."
"...I've only heard stories from both my moms. They said he was a villain and a really evil one too." Trunks simplified
"Villain is putting it lightly. Vegeta was the worst thing to ever happen to us, just short of Frieza and Cell. When Goku's brother, Raditz, told us that there were two more Saiyan's coming to Earth, I was horrified. It took everything from me and Goku to kill Raditz, and even Goku's life." Piccolo began as Trunks payed close attention. "So the idea of two more warriors who were several times tougher then Raditz was worrying, to say the least. I saw potential in Gohan during the fight, so I kidnapped him, and tried to mold him into a tool that I can use. My plan was to rule the world, but instead, I had a change of heart." He said as Trunks was a little surprised, he didn't realize that Piccolo was a villain before, at least not until he remembered one or two stories of his father
"But it's so hard to imagine him being ruthless..." He thought to himself
"When your father and Nappa came, they were just as we imagined, cold-blooded. I ended up having to watch the rest of the fight with King Kai, along with Tien and a few others after dying. We watched and Vegeta never fell, and even killed Nappa himself once he was downed. It wasn't until a Spirit Bomb and few more punches later did he finally leave." Piccolo continued, which also came to a surprise to Trunks. "When I was revived on Namek, and after I absorbed Nail, I saw that your father was still the same, only that he had the same goal as us, killing Frieza. It still didn't make it any better, but we couldn't ignore the greater threat at hand."
"He fought with pride and honoras we tried to kill that tyrant. But it all changed when he went one on one with Frieza. I personally saw the spirit leave from his soul as he was beat to death. He finally broke down when he told Goku about the tragedy of the Saiyan's, and then he was shot by Frieza." Piccolo said, to Trunks' further surprise. "After the long battle, and once everyone was revived, we saw him with a shattered personality. He couldn't recover from what had happened. The only thing that kept him from breaking down again was his new crazed pursuit to overpower Goku and become the strongest. And the only thing keeping him from killing anyone was that Bulma had the gravity room at Capsule Corp. When I finally saw him again, he was softer, but he still held one thing at heart, his pride."
"Your father is arrogant, brash, and angry, and you were there to see it. He was kicked around by 18, he let Cell absorb her and to top it all off he was nearly killed because of his own ego." Piccolo recounted, making Trunks remember the events as they transpired
"But now, your father's different. Between now and then, he's gotten soft. You, Bulma and the other you are the only ones to blame for that." He finished, leaving Trunks with more to think about
He was never told of his father's story when he was young, only that he was a prideful man with lots of dignity. But hearing Piccolo talk about him opened his eyes, albeit just a little bit
"I'm not saying that you should forgive him, or forget what he's done. But at the very least set it aside for the moment. What he did shouldn't be put past him, but just know the man he was before you met him." Piccolo finalized, immediately filling the air with silence
It took many minutes of thinking, but Trunks finally stood back up, feeling refreshed but not yet calm. What happened would be dealt with later, as for the moment he had to save the Earth. "I should get back to the others...that hour is almost up." Trunks said, before flying away from the ground, soon followed by Piccolo
"You did well, your father would be very disturbed." The voice of Nail said as they flew
"That is what I strive for nowadays." Piccolo thought in response as they neared the group
Back on Earth, the trio floated high above South City, having spent a good while exploring the city. They had their fun and it was time to move on, to their disappointment. Buu liked trying new foods and Prestina liked exploring, but when Cell stated that there was more yet to explore then they decided to listen
But as much fun as Cell had, there was this new itch that needed to be scratched. The Z fighters were taking forever to show their faces, did they not care about the Earth? Well then maybe he would have to set another example, show them what really happens when he doesn't get what he wants...
Cell slowly raised his hand and created a small ball of red ki over the tip of his finger. This called the attention of two Majins. What was he doing?
"Um, what's going on?" Prestina asked, she looked at Cell and went through his mind but couldn't get a definitive answer either
"I'm setting a small example to my enemies."
With that Cell shot a ki attack towards the center of the city. Instead of exploding, it was barely visible from the naked eye as it slowly expanded. And yet Cell's enhanced eyesight could see every last person get enveloped in the ball as it disintegrated everything inside. He witnessed man, woman and child scream in agony before finally getting vaporized.
Cell smirked as the ball continued to grow. In all of his life, this was something that he dearly wished to try. The memories of Frieza blowing up planets with ecstasy was something that really intrigued Cell, and now he was free to reenact yet another wonderful scene
After a full minute, the ball completely covered the entire city. After a second longer, the ball exploded, leaving a very large crater in place of the marvelous city that once was
"Oh how I just LOVE it when they scream. Don't you?" Cell asked his companions, though he knew what the responses would be
"Yeah, it funny! They go aaaahhhhhhh, or sometimes AAAAAHHHHH!" Buu responded gleefully, seems he was well acquainted with pained screams and deathly yells
"And what about you, Prestina?" Cell asked the innocent Prestina, already knowing the answer
"...I think...it's...cool..." She said painfully as she looked sadly at the crater that once held great wonders
"You don't have to lie, I know you feel as though you have no choice in the matter." Cell responded as Prestina looked surprised, but still guilty. She was found out, what happens now?!
Cell chuckled when he saw her reaction, she probably was scared for her life. Then again who wouldn't be? He didn't need to read her mind in order to tell that she was distressed, but that didn't matter. What's done is done, and if she wanted to stay with him for any longer then she'll simply have to get used to seeing the carnage that came with him
"Don't fret, I don't seek to harm you as much as I would a guest. You're my ally, and if you remain as such you'll find no worries." Cell comforted, which brought a form of security to Prestina. But now she was split, how could she stay with Cell and Buu?
"Now, let us go to the next City, I'd say...East City." Cell said, pointing at the northeast
"Yeah! Me Buu want to make many candy this time!" Buu said as he quickly flew towards the northeast. Cell began to fly as well, only to stop as he noticed that Prestina hadn't moved an inch
"What's wrong? Are you still sad that we destroyed the city? Don't worry about that! The Z team will probably come back and use the Dragonballs to restore everything again, there is no real consequences to this. Right now we're just stalling for time!" Cell explained to Prestina, who didn't feel any better by the statement
"...ok..." she said sadly as she began to fly towards the northeast, eying the once beautiful city beneath her, now turned to ash and dust
"That's the spirit!"
Once the three reached East City, people began to notice Cell. People yelled as they ran away from the guy who blew up Satan City in an emergency broadcast, the same man who nearly destroyed the Earth seven years ago!
"It seems that the city is aware of me. Oh well, I guess we'll have a different form of fun. Buu, would you like to make more candy?" Cell asked Buu as he clapped his hands
"YES! ME BUU MAKE MORE CANDY!!" Buu said as the tentacle on his head twitched in excitement
Buu wiped his head towards the nearest person, a woman, and fired the beam that quickly turned the woman into a chocolate bar. Buu skipped his way towards the chocolate bar, picked it up and began to chomp on it
"Now Buu, it would take too long for you to eat each piece of candy individually. I suggest you eat the candy after you gather everything." Cell said as he grabbed a fallen child and stabbed it with his tail, draining it of it's life and reenergizing him, the electric feeling was something he'd have to get used to
"Ooooohhhh. You right!" Buu said as he ate the rest of the chocolate and pointed his tentacle towards several people, turning each into different forms of sweets. Each piece floated towards Buu as it hovered just above his head. Buu skipped further into the city, turning many more into candy along his way. Prestina was wide eyed with shock and horror as she saw both Cell and Buu kill many innocents with no second thought
"If you'd like to join you can, but otherwise I'd suggest you walk elsewhere." Cell said to Prestina as he continued to stab many people and absorb them
Prestina frowned as she flew towards the sky, above a building. What she saw now wasn't a beautiful city full of life, but a torn civilization that was undergoing a purge. There were many screams from people, many random fires that started throughout the city and the same sight of Cell and Buu killing anyone they found
Prestina wanted to run away, to hide, to stop seeing these twisted people. And yet, there was no where to run. She wanted this nightmare to end but it was no dream. She wasn't sleeping in her planet, she wasn't out in the field of flowers, she was standing over a building watching the only 'friends' she had tear through a city
She felt more alone than ever
Prestina teared up as the wave of feelings overcame her, and immediately she sat down and curled into a ball. The safest ball she could afford at the moment, away from the screaming, away from Cell and Buu
Gohan and Trunks stood side by side, the one hour from their last attempt at the technique was now finished. They looked at the Supreme Kai and Kibito, awaiting further instructions
"The one hour has passed. Now, both of you get into position. We have only failed twice so far, and we still have time for a few more attempts. Now, synchronize your power levels." The Supreme Kai ordered as the two hybrids walked a couple of feet away from each other
They yelled as they powered up to Super Saiyan 2. Both auras were the same size as the Supreme Kai took a moment to scan their energies
"...Perfect, the stronger the base warriors then the stronger the new warrior. Now, perform the dance." The Supreme Kai said as both Trunks and Gohan stood in place, Gohan was at the left while Trunks was at the right. Both held their arms away from each other
"FFUUU! SSIION!! HHHAAAAHHH!!" They yelled as they performed a strange dance that ended with the two of them touching their index fingers together. When the dance was finished Gohan and Trunks' bodys turned into bright orange streams of energy that extended upwards as they rapidly twisted together and turned in several directions before the end of it landed on the ground, creating a large flash of light that blinded everyone nearby. After a second, the light died down as everyone turned back around to witness a new sight
The warrior they saw before them was vastly different from the first and last attempt at the fusion dance. The two were failures as the boys had everything wrong, causing them to become a singular fat being, and also a very skinny one. Instead what they saw was a success, one that was sensed to be very powerful
The warrior before them had a fit and muscular figure, with a bare chest and white Gi pants. He had a dark blue belt that was wrapped around his hip and he wore black boots that had a dark blue cloth tightly wrapped around his ankles. He had a small black vest that didn't cover his open chest but it had a puffy orange material at the ends of the vest as well as black arm guard made of cloth. His black hair was short and spiky like Gohan's, but it went in all directions and even had to purple strands at the forehead. He still radiated a faint orange energy around him as he observed himself
"...looks like I did it..." The warrior spoke with the voices of Gohan and Trunks mashed together at the same time
"I...wow...I didn't think you would succeed on the third try!" Goku exclaimed as he saw the new warrior's face, he had Trunks' small nose, and had Gohan's large eyes that narrowed
The fusion was perfect, a mash of Gohan's almost realized potential, and Trunk's very cautious nature. They both had tactical minds that when combined, they could level any playing field
Vegeta marveled at the power of the fusion, it was higher than anything he could imagine, and he could feel both the souls of Gohan and Trunks combined. It was incredible
"Now then...let's get the show on the road." The warrior said as Goku put his hand on the warrior's right shoulder
"Now, without any energy from the Kais I can only be in the living world for a fraction of a second without breaking any rules. We'll be here when the battle is over. Good luck." Goku said as he placed two fingers on his forehead
"Right, we'll defeat them!" The warrior promised as Goku and the fusion vanished away
