A/N: A/N: I am so, so sorry that it took me this long to get the chaper up. There was a lot and I do mean a lot going on during December and January.
To put it simply, I moved. The amount of toture that held was beyond annoying, especially with how much we had owned and were forced to throw out. It had been a rough time altogether especially with Winter.
It is also why I decided to make this a short Chapter this time if only to have it updated and show I'm not dead when it comes to the Story. So don't expect much until the next chapter.
In other news, I have revived my Fairy Tail in the form of a different story! "Fairy Tail: Legacies of Fiore" was just recently posted, it may not be up for another 4-8 hours, but it will be there around that time. Just wanted to give a heads up.
Now onto the story!
Day of the Cell Games
(Capsule Corp Island) (Seven Days Later)
Corvus stood at the beachside silently as he waited for the sun to rise. Waking up early wasn't something he had planned on doing, but it happened and thankfully he felt perfectly fine. However his thoughts went straight for today.
The Cell Games.
He realized how messed up their luck really was. They went through time itself to ensure that the Androids weren't becoming a threat and maybe even get some help to deal with the threat of the Timeline itself. But now they had Cell, an Android made up of all the greatest fighters on Earth. Both good and bad. It made him wonder if things would've been different if they had never gone back in the first place.
...Probably not. If anything, they would have been wiped out by the Androids or maybe even Cell till he decided to take the twins for himself. That alone made him doubt his chances against the Bio-Android and yet, he was still holding out. Not because he thought he could win, much less make a difference. No it was rather because he rather die trying than do nothing and die regardless. Saiyan. Human. Neither side mattered when it came to this choice.
Just him.
"Hey?" Corvus turned around to see his father waiting. "Are you ready?"
"...Yes I am." Corvus said with a firm nod. Rukido just patted his shoulder with a wide grin, making the Hybrid grow the same one.
"Good. Time for us to stump on a bug." Rukido said with glee. His son merely nodded in agreement as the sun shined over them.
They had a game to win.
(Son Household)
Chi-Chi watched as her husband put on the last wristband while wearing a smile on his face. To the common eye he would seem like he was excited for this whole thing. However it was a lot more rare than that, something she had known from how long they've been together. It was forced to put it simply.
'He really doesn't want me to worry.' Chi-Chi thought with a smile as he approached her.
"Welp, we're off Chi-Chi! Wish us luck!" Goku said, keeping his smile up. She couldn't help, but smile as well despite the situation.
"Oh Goku, you don't need luck. You're the strongest man on Earth! No Alien or Android is ever gonna change that." Chi-Chi said, bringing her husband down for a kiss. He returned it with glee, much to her pleasure. They pulled away as she continued. "Just promise me that you'll keep Gohan safe, arlight?"
"Chi-Chi...you don't have to worry about anything." Goku said simply, but Chi-Chi wasn't having it.
"Please Goku, don't let our baby fight. Please?" Chi-Chi begged with teary eyes. He didn't say anything at first, losing his smile for just a moment before it came back in full force.
"I'll beat Cell Chi-Chi, don't you worry about that." Goku declared proudly.
"Oh Goku." Was all that chi-Chi could say before a loud banging interrupted them.
"HURRY UP KAKAROT! I'M NOT WAITING AROUND FOR ANOTHER MINUTE! EVEN YOUR BOY IS READY!" Raditz yelled from the other side. Chi-Chi growled in annoyance and pulled out a frying pan from seemingly nowhere.
"When I get my hand on him he'll-HMM?!" She was cut off once pulled into Goku's hard chest. She blushed brightly from the action as he leaned down to her ear and whispered.
"I love you, Chi-Chi." He said it ever so simply, but it was still enough to shock the woman. It was something they didn't say too often, something she would change when they got back. He then pulled away and showed a wide grin. "We'll be right back!"
Goku then walked towards the door as Chi-Chi followed him. She stopped at it and looked as her family gathered together to fight. Raditz, Ranch, her little Gohan and her Goku. Launch was not doing the samething by her door, she was going to have to come over eventually. They all grabbed onto Goku who turned back to give her another smile before vanishing using Instant Transmission.
Despite how much her husband had tried to relieve her of her worry, even he had his limits. As she thought this, her hand went to her stomach and rubbed it unknowingly.
(Capsule Corp)
Vegeta awaited outside his...home for his son. No doubt he was being babied by his mother right now, but despite himself he didn't rush it. 'Tch...'
Today was a day of triumph, he would finally have his chance against Cell. To finally put that bug in his place without the help of anyone. He would be able to end all of this by himself! It was reasons like this why he trained! For the thrill of the fight, to grow stronger and prove himself the greatest in the Universe, and even further be-
"Bah." Vegeta's thoughts were interrupted by the small hand tapping his boot. Glancing down, he saw his son-his baby spawn taping his boots while looking up at him. "BAH!"
'...' Vegeta remained silent as he looked at his spawn for what felt like the longest time. His hand twitched for a second before the boy was suddenly picked up by Bulma. He quickly looked away as the Woman spoke to it.
"Aww you wanted to see your daddy despite his scary face." Bulma cooed at her Son, earning a large amount of giggles. Vegeta growled in annoyance, but held his tongue. "Don't worry, your grouch of a father and your handsome futureself will take care of that mean old big man, Cell!"
The Baby merely giggled, making Vegeta huff as he floated from his spot. "You better hurry along boy! I'm no longer waiting!"
"Hey at least say goodbye you jerk!" Bulma called out for Vegeta, but her husband was already dashing away. "Great Kami, that man is gonna stress me out to death."
"Don't worry mother." She turned around to see her Future Baby walking towards her with a smile. "I'll make sure to bring him back home once everything with Cell is resolved."
"You better make sure to come back. Both of you." Bulma said, giving her son a quick kiss on his cheek "Love you honey!"
"Love you as well, Mother." Trunks said with a slight blush on his face. He soon flew after his father, leaving Bulma to watch them off. She sighed as they disappeared from sight before walking back inside while Baby Trunks looked up at the sky with outstretched arms.
(Mountains)
Piccolo awaited quietly among the mountains, meditating to himself peacefully. However as soon as he felt the sun shine upon him, he hummed to himself before standing up straight. With a heavy breath, he used Instant Transmission and vanished.
It was time to fight.
(Kame House)
"Good luck guys." Chiaotzu said while hugging Tien. His friend merely patted his head as they separated. "You give Cell a good one, ya hear!"
"Of course. He will not get away with this." The Triclops declared while joining Krillin and Yamcha on the beach. "Cell's days are numbered, that much I can promise."
"We're counting on you. All of you!" Chiaotzu yelled out with pure faith in them. He wanted to come as well,he truly did, but even he knew that his current power wouldn't be able to help out in the slightest.
"You boys give it your all, you hear?" Roshi ordered, earning bows from them all.
"Yes Master Roshi." The Turtle Students said while the Crane Student remained silent. Roshi chuckled at this before waving them off as they stood up. "Good luck! Not that you need it!"
The trio of Humans could only nod with confident smiles before taking off while the others waved at them from the island.
(Cell Games Arena)
Cell looked upon the sky with a wide smirk. Finally, finally! After all this time, he could finally get his tournament underway! No more days where he would dream about ways to dominate the Warriors coming, they were going to become a reality now! He could finally prove himself not only as the perfect being, but now as the superior warrior as well.
Now if only the bugs before him weren't here.
"HA HA HA! GET READY FOR THE ONE, THE ONLY, HERCULE!" By his creator, Cell had never felt more insulted in his life. Granted it was short when compared to others, but this was too much coming from the Human in front of him. 16 was here as well, but he didn't even look remotely interested in the fools before them. "You're up against the World's Strongest Champion! Get ready to eat dirt Cell!"
"Yes! Have no fear, Hercule Satan will save us all from the terror of Earth, Cell." Some random news reporter said in front of a cammerman. However the camera suddenly exploded, much to their shock while Cell lowered his finger.
He didn't need an audience, he just wanted to fight…he sounded like Vegeta.
Thankfully, he watched as the Dragon Team came in one by one. All of them looked so serious about this. It was kinda cute actually. But Goku seemed to be smirking at him which only added onto his excitement. He was the reason for his existence after all and he would thank him by giving his world a quick death. The Universe was a large place after all and he was going to travel it in style.
"I-it appears there are more fighters arriving here as we speak!" The Newsman announced, starled by this as he turned to an equally stunned Hercule. "Mr. Satan, these fighters appeared to have flown in, just as Cell was able to do. Are these people actually capable of performing such abilities?"
"W-why of course not! It's nothing short of special effects. Nothing about this is remotely real, just some of Cell's performers to make himself look tough." Hercule said with a huff, not believing it for a second. He sneered at the Dragon Team and yelled. "YOU PHONIES BETTER LEAVE IT TO A PROFESSIONAL! YA HEAR ME PUNKS!"
"Huh? Who's that?" Goku asked, confusion on his face. The Dragon Team either showed faces of annoyance, amusement or kept their focus on Cell.
"What an idiot. Doesn't he realize that he's going to get killed." Vegeta mocked freely.
'What's up with his hair?' Corvus thought dully.
"Should...should we tell them to go away?" Yamcha offered, not sure what to do. It was gonna get very bad, very quick. He could understand that much.
"I doubt it'll be that easy." Rukido muttered, not really caring either way.
"Well it seems that my fighters have finally arrived." Cell announced for all to hear. He was beyond excited for the first match before an overwhelming amount of darkness filled his being. As quickly as it came, it left, but not before implanting a new idea within his mind. "Originally, I was going to have you all face me one at a time, but then all I would get would be a bunch of...undesirables."
He barely glanced towards Hercule as he said this before continuing.
"What I mean by this is that you must make your way through battle in order to face me." Cell said, surprisingly them, even himself. Yet the idea seemed addicting to say the least.
"OH YEAH! YOU AND WHAT ARMY PUNK!" Hercule called out with glee.
Cell didn't say anything, his eyes glowing red and his smirk coming in at full force as he snapped his fingers. Upon doing so, several portals opened up around the Arena, making the Dragon Team go on guard for whatever was coming. Multiple figures came flying through, each brandishing silverish grey, full body battle suits with uniquely colored visors. However it was they're symbols that really caught their attention.
"The Demon Realm!" Rukido exclaimed in shock as the seemingly endless amount of soldiers kept on coming through. "Damn it, they got to Cell somehow."
"Tch. This is going to be problematic." Piccolo said as he and Gohan threw off their Turbans.
"HA! Like they are, none of them even come close to Frieza's power back on Namek!" Vegeta chuckled as he clenched his fist.
"He's right, they're far from powerful. They're numbers on the other hand..." Tien trailed off, while thinking of the best method to handle them all.
"So the first one to Cell gets to fight him huh? Good." Ranch said with a grin.
"As if you're even getting the chance. Stay back and leave him to me." Raditz said firmly.
"Protective much?" Ranch asked, flustering her father a bit.
"We can still make jokes when the world may get blown up? Nice." Krillin said with a weak laugh.
"It won't. I'll make sure Cell is gone by the end of the day." Goku said, giving the smirking Bio-Android a glare. "Now...LET'S GO!"
The Dragon Team dashed from their spot and down to the army below with a war cry. Cell looked on from his spot, wondering who would be the first to face his power. Only time would tell it would seem.
Meanwhile, afar in the mountains was Sealas watching as the battle began to take place. He merely shook his head as a portal opened up behind him as he backed into it. However something came out before it disappeared.
A small black orb with yellow eyes and a glowing blue core within it's stomach, holding a sinister looking grin.
(Chapter End)
Next Time on a Change in Time!
It's me, Ranch! I don't have long so I'll make it quick! With the Demon Realm joining Cell and attacking us, it's not easy making it pass them even with how powerful they are. All I want to do is get to Cell and beat him already! Huh? Someone else from the Demon Realm is here?...Who the heck is Mira?
Next Time: Race to Face Cell! Mira's Return?
A/N: I apologize for the short Chapter, but I didn't feel a need to continue it while at the same time I need to show that I wasn't dead with the story. So expect the review section to take over in terms of word count. But explanations, at least for the Demon Realm Soldiers.
They are quite literally just the Demon Realm Soldiers from Heroes, nothing too grand or special about them...or so I've chosen to say. I only did this to make things far more interesting when it comes to the Cell Games. In hindsight not a great idea in the longrun to make yourself the sole fighter to face multiple opponents. Especially if they could just have united and fought you at the same time. But Warrior's Honor and what not, so lucky Cell.
REMINDER: Fairy Tail: Legacies of Fiore is officially posted and should be seen within 4-8 Hours, maybe sooner. Do read it if you're interested!
That's actually it for right now. SO I hope you've enjoyed, that you review and that you return for more. Until next time!
~Reviews~
Tuesjan26: Why doesn;t your MC have a Saiyan name? And what kind of name is Rukido? That sounds like actual gibberish. Dropping this story.
Answer: Alright I'll be sure to name my character Zucchini next time and see where that gets me. Not gonna lie, this was way more funny than it should have been.
denisegalante1009: You know I've been able to read the manga version of Big Bang Mission on a site called you just type in Super Dragon Ball Heroes Big Bang Mission type in the specific chapter you want to read and it should be one of the first things that's brought up. You should try and if it works you should read the chapters.
Answer: And saved, thank you. This'll be a big help in the future.
denisegalante1009: Have you watched Dragon Ball deliverance?
Answer: Yes. And loved it.
Rys-AND-Clash: I'm a bit saddened that Nappa got offed, since I always liked the idea of Nappa turning good but, guess I'll settle with Raditz... which is fantastic being honest
Answer: Being the Son and Brother of two Fan-Favorite characters and not being tossed away so casually? No. Not here.
Guest: Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that things aren't going well but hopefully this year will fix that. This chapter was amazing, I loved the interactions with Trunks, Ranch & Corvus but especially the interaction with Gohan & #16. Anywho, sorry for rambling and take care of yourself...
Answer: I wish for you and your family/friends to take care as well. Last year was hard on everyone, but all we can do is hope that this year will improve.
Messiah of authors: Rukido And Chronoa having a kid. A saiyan And kai hybrid. Man he's gonna be super strong. Hopefully this doesn't become a xicor incident.
Answer: Considering that neither have any ill intent, that won't be much of a problem.
Rys-AND-Clash: why?
Answer: Because I can~
denisegalante1009: So does that mean you are maybe leaning towards using Agios in this story?
Answer: Depending on her role in Heroes will allow me to choose if to include her or not. I already do have a small idea forming, but not until I see more.
Rys-AND-Clash: damn... you completely forgot about Chiaotzu's power level...
Answer: I made the best use of a guy who can apparently slow down Goku in Super.
Rys-AND-Clash: I should have posted this like, in the first chapter but, I can't stop reading. I'm interested in how things will play out! Keep on doing this man!
Answer: I always will.
animewatcher202: What a good way to answer my question from a few chapters ago by the way. I never expected it to be answered to be honest.
Answer: You're welcome. Sorry about the wait, but I try to avoid spoilers as much as I can.
animewatcher202: You absolute madlad...I'm glad to see this story update but don't let it ruin your life.
This is one of the best set up chapters so far, with all the little hints included (even a few misspelled words)
Who is your favorite female Dragon Ball character?
Should the Demon Realm be explored more? if so how would you handle it?
Answer: I won't. My life is going alright so far and sorry about the messed up words. Some things don't transfer well.
Favorite Female DB Character: Chronoa, by a mile. If not her then probalry Future Bulma.
As for the Demon Realm, it's time they actually got some shine. As for how I would do it? A simple breaking of the Demon Realm would suffice, allow the Demon to roam free and force the Warriors of Universe 7 to be forced to deal with it before it spreads out into the other Universes.
Ushindi: Awesome chapter! Good to see you updating again! Almost reaching the end of this year. You think next year will be different?
1. How long do you think it will take this Vegeta in this story to realize his not the best?
2. Have you seen the what if story of Chi Chi becoming a Z Fighter but the only difference is, not only can she use ki but also magic! If you have watched what do you think about that?
3. We have finally reached the Cell Games! I'm so anxious on what the changes and what the outcome of this arc.
4. Here's another thought I have been thinking. What if Ben Tennyson was trained by Goku? How powerful do you think he will be along with the aliens he can transform into?
5. If the aliens from Ben 10 learned ki, what do you think that'll be?
6. So which character from Dragon Ball has a chance to have a harem if that happened?
7. TFS Dragon Ball Abridged Nappa while he is dumb is pretty funny! The best I love about him is he makinyfun av Vegeta whether unintentional or intentionally.
Here is two of my favorite of scene of him
TFS Reference:
Nappa: Midget's next *dashes to Krillin*
Krillin: My turn my turn MY TURN!
Nappa: *suddenly stops*
Vegeta: Nappa what are you doing? * annoyed and confused*
Nappa: It's his turn Vegeta, I have to wait for him.
Vegeta: *speechless with blood running out from his nose*
Nappa: You okay Vegeta?
Vegeta: Yes, just some aneurysm from sheer stupidity.
Nappa: Wow, did think you were that stupid Vegeta.
Vegeta: *screams loudly in rage*
TFS:
Nappa: I am Nappa and this is Vegeta, he was a prison
Vegeta: Shut up Nappa. *loudly interrupts him*
Nappa: Bitch. * he whispered*
Vegeta: Damn it Nappa.
I'll always laugh at those scenes and pretty much on the Saiyan Saga from TFS.
8. What if Piccolo didn't save Gohan in time? And if Goku show up to find not only Tien, Chiaotzu and Yamcha dead but also Gohan, would he be able to turn Super Saiyan at that time? I wonder if Piccolo would be guilty of not saving Gohan and maybe his redemption would come much earlier than canon?
9. Seeing SSJ2 Gohan beating Cell with no mercy and even toying him makes me wonder if this has to due with SSJ2 being powerful than the first level SSJ that it completely changed him. Do you think that is the reason or there is another one I'm unaware of?
10. So whose poses is much worse The Great Saiyaman or the Pride Troopers?
11. What do you think of Jiren?
12. So if Kagura wasn't the final boss but Madara Uchiha was? Wouldn't end the same way as you have seen in the anime?
13. Is a Rasengan much deadly than a Kamehameha?
14. If Chi Chi was a Saiyan, would the changes be very impactful or the same?
15. You think 17 being a Park Ranger is him honoring 16, cause if he was still alive then he would be a Park Ranger with 17.
16. Are you going to skip over 7 years like in the canon?
17. If Goku didn't have Ultra Instinct, what would his powerful transformation be other than his Blue Kaioken?
18. If Babidi was in Fairy Tail, who would he take control of?
19. Do you think Babidi would be able to control Acnologia or would he resist Babidi's control?
20. Do you think Acnologia would be able to slay Shenron, Dark Shenron and Black Star Shenron?
Answer: Thank you. We can only hope that it gets better this year.
1: A long time, but he wouldn't be him otherwise.
2: While I haven't seen it, I can't say I would consider it. Mostly because that's not part of who she was to me. It's the reason why I didn't make her a Fighter because she enjoys her life as a Housewife and Mother.
3: Well here's a major one already. Lol.
4: Extremely, especially given how powerful those Aliens are on their own.
5: It probably wouldn't be as interesting if I'm being honest. Each Alien is the way they are with their own strengths and weaknesses. I really wouldn't want to see Fourarms flying around while firing ki-blast if I'm being honest.
6: Well Vegeta comes to mind surprisingly if he ever decided to restart his still dying race. Other than him, Krillin...no seriously.
7: I like it too.
8: I would like to think he would transform at that point, but it's hard to say if I'm being honest due to a power requirement. Piccolo would definitely feel guilty for Gohan's Death, even knowing he could bring him back.
9: Well he's a 11 year old boy with a lot of power and PTSD from Emperor Lizards, Invading Posers and Killer Androids. Other than that however it may be just the power going straight to his head, you could even see this in Goku a bit when he first faced Frieza, his Saiyan Blood pumping just to face Frieza to the point where he allowed him to reach 100%.
10: Pride Trooper, Not enough Style.
11: He's not interesting to me if I'm being honest. That's all really. Depending if he ever appears again, I doubt it would change. Though some people have made their own development of him, that's good though. So overall, neutral towards him.
12: Oh most definitely. Sasuke is an Ass and it didn't matter who was the final boss.
13: It depends on who's using it. Scaling them down to the same level, Kamehameha has the Range while Rasengan has Close Range. Again depends on who uses them.
14: It would be impactful enough. Given how Saiyans are naturally driven by combat, minus a select few, she would be more open towards fighting and not berate her husband on it anymore either.
15: Yes, I do believe that.
16: HA! Hell no!
17: Well the only other thing he could possibly attain would be Blue Evolution and Stack Kaioken on top of that.
18: Natsu through End if his Magic is powerful enough.
19: Maybe? I'm not too sure on that one to be honest.
20: Surprisingly, yes. Most Shenron's are actually weaker than one would think, Shenron being destroyed temporarily by Demon King Piccolo back in DB. However Ultimate Shennron and Super Shenron may be out of his limits, at least Ultimate Shenron due to actually being stated being stronger than even Omega Shenron. At least within the Ultimate Tenkaichi Game.
Thanks again as usual.
