Great news! I had to cut a lot of stuff from the last chapter so I was able to make it into the next chapter.
Hope you enjoy!
Wrath of the Beyond
Cell stood tall looking at the gigantic beast staring down at him.
"Come, show me that you are worthy of becoming apart of me!" He yelled at the monster.
Hirudegarn roared as he rose a clawed hand and smashed it downward.
The Android jumped onto the arm of the beast and ran on top of the monster's arm towards his head.
Hirudegarn rose another arm and slammed his palm where Cell is.
But the Android jumped before it would land and floated in front of the creature's head.
"Let's see if you can take this." He had fingers on his head. "Special Beam Cannon!" He yelled firing a spiral beam at the monster's head, if it falls to this, then Towa needs to find a new candidate.
The monster then turned to smoke, the beam went past him and exploded in a bright yellow light.
Cell was surprised at that as the smoke came apart and formed behind him.
Hirudegarn took shape behind him and grabbed Cell with both hands.
"Gah!" The Android screamed as his fingers wrapped around him.
"Wasn't" He grunted as his body's bones began getting crushed. "Expecting.. this" He can turn to mist and reform.
Before the Android could break free, the monster lifted Cell close to his mouth before opening and unleashing a torrent of flame while letting him go.
Cell screamed as he was flung far away from the creature.
The Android exploded in a large ball of flame.
Hirudegarn roared as if in victory over his foe, he then flew upward with his gigantic wings over towards where Cell landed.
Cell grimaced as he was on his back and sat up. 'Towa was right, if I hadn't absorbed Bojack, this creauture would be the end of me." He chuckled. "All the more reason to add him to me."
Just then a shadow covered him, he looked up to see the beast flying downward.
"Simple beast" Cell chastised as he jumped back.
Hirudegarn smashed where he was laying.
Cell flew up and threw a kick to his chin.
At that moment the monster's body turned to mist again.
"Quick reflexes" Cell noted as the beast formed behind him, likely to attack from behind again. "But predictable" He grinned and turned throwing a powerful wave of energy.
Hirudegarn did form behind him and his face exploded forcing the creature to stumble back.
"I have you now!" Cell raced down and threw a kick at the gigantic abdomen.
Again it stumbled back.
Cell then flew upwards and smashed an uppercut it's jaw forcing the creature to look up.
The Android smirked as he rose his hands preparing an energy ball.
But Hirudegarn's black sharp tail rose aiming to peirce him.
Cell ducked underneath and crossed his arms into a block.
Hirudegarn smashed his fist into his block forcing him back.
He flew forward with his left fist raised and slammed it down.
Cell rose his hands to block it, he then pushed it up and flew forward slamming a kick against his face.
"Good power, but pathetic usage of it!" Cell then flew down and grabbed the monster's tail, he swung and tossed the beast upward.
Hirudegarn was sent flying up before stopping himself.
But Cell was up above where he was and slammed his elbow on the gigantic skull of the monster.
The beast was screaming as he fell to the ground, he stood up and roared before looking around until he saw the target for his aggression.
The Android was far away in a position Towa would recognize.
"This was entertaining!" Cell yelled as he motioned himself, his legs spread apart and his hands cupped at his side. "But I've had my fun, time to end this." A blue orb formed at his finger tips. "This will be enough to knock you, out, now be ready to become apart of me!"
"Kamehameha!"
He fired the gigantic blue wave of energy.
Hirudegarn wasn't quick enough to evade it, or turn into mist. His entire lit up in a blue light as he roared.
It seemed as though Cell had done it, or perhaps overdone it.
After the explosion Cell stared at where he had fired, as the smoke cleared, showing the beast still standing.
"What?" He didn't believe what he was seeing.
Hirudegarn was still standing but it was now ghostly white.
"Hmm" Cell crossed his arms. "He seems to still be alive, I suppose I will begin my absorption now." He flew up ready to use his tail.
"Hehehe"
The Android stopped and turned to who was laughing.
Hoi chuckled. "Fool, do you truly believe that is the limit of Hirdugarn's power? He is not a simple monster, he is the World Slayer, the universe feared him!"
Cell growled. "Your pet, is now incapacitated, you pathetic lower life form, look at-"
The white colossus started to crack, it then spread all over it's body.
It was shattering before the Android.
He turned to the demon. "Towa! What is this? How dare you waste my time! This creature was too fragile." He was waiting for hours for nothing, she promised him a true challenge, a worthy addition to his power only for the monster to die before he could begin absorbing it.
Towa said nothing in response and just shrugged her shoulders.
Hoi chuckled as the demon started to seemingly break down. "Best of lucK."
The white beast roared as it's cocoon broke down showing Hirudegarn in a different form.
After shedding it's metamorphosis the creature gained shoulder blades, insect like wings, it's skull like head changed to a yellowish color with two block horns and red spot in-between them that spread across his back.
Cell was amazed at the amount of energy it was giving off.
"You see!" Hoi laughed hestierically."The power of Hirudegarn knows no bounds, he will destroy you and bring the universe to it's knees! Hirudegarn! Destroy him now show him your real power!"
The demon threw a fist down at Cell.
Of course being easy to predict Cell was able to fly back evading it. He then flew forward and threw a fist towards his face.
Hirudegarn immediately turned to mist, it's head reformed below Cell before releasing an energy wave from it's mouth.
"Tch" Cell blocked the attack as it pushed him upward.
Mist formed above Cell, Hirudegarn took shape and slammed both hands down his back.
"Ahh!" Cell screamed as he raced downward.
Again mist came to where Cell was headed and slammed a fist up Cell's body, he turned to mist again and appeared above the Android before stomping down the smaller monster.
Cell crashed into the ground beneath Hiredegarn's foot.
Hirudegarn let out a roar as if declaring victory.
He then rose it's tail and held it over Cell.
"What now?" Cell said as he struggled beneath the creature.
To his surprise the tail opened, unleashing a red web like material that spread across his body.
"Ahhh!" Cell screamed as he felt his body being drained. "D-don't tell me that this thing can also absorb life energy?!"
Towa couldn't help but chuckle even though it was in her best interest for Cell to win, she was looking forward to see his reaction to it.
"Poor deluded fool." Hoi smiled as he seemed to believe that Hirudegarn would win now. "You were arrogant and now your life force will forever be apart of the World Slayer! Hahahaha!"
Cell growled as he felt his power being drained adding on to Hirudegarn's power. But the Android closed his eyes as if trying to calm himself. He let out a blood curdling scream, not just from the pain but from using a long forgotten technique of Piccolo's.
The Android's body began to expand rapidly. As he grow he threw a vicious punch at the monster forcing his absorption to stop.
Hirudegarn stumbled back and saw as Cell now matched his own size, his tail closed and he let out a roar.
Now it was truly a battle of giants.
Cell panted as he had broken free of his energy being drained. Interesting he wondered if his victims felt similar to his energy being drained. "What a fascinating creature!" Cell yelled with a chuckle. "Immense strength, changing it's structure to mist, and an absorption ability similar to my own." He grinned beneath his bio mask. "You truly are worthy of being apart of me!"
The two would begin to clash.
Cell threw a fist across the monster's jaw, he then threw multiple punches across his body before smashing his elbow into it's face.
That forced the monster on the ground, but his tail stabbed into the ground and pierced Cell from behind.
That made the Android stagger forward.
The beast then smashed his fist into Cell's face, he then swiped his claws down Cell's chest.
Purple blood spread across his body.
Hirudegarn let out a roar, unleashing a powerful gust of flame.
Cell's entire body was surrounded by flames pushing him back.
He jumped to the side while holding back his arm, his Broly cells seem to be kicking in. A green energy orb formed, he swung his arm forward firing Broly's Eraser Canon at the beast.
Hirudegarn took an explosion in green energy forcing him back.
Cell grinned as he brought his hands forward unleashing one of his newer techniques in his ever growing arsenal, purple threads spread from his finger tips.
Hirudegarn glowed purple and let out a pained roar, he was feeling weaker and weaker.
"Thank you Bojack." Cell chuckled draining the creature's energy.
But as he thought the monster turned to mist.
"Tch, wanted to see if my threads can keep him in one place." He stated as the mist reformed above him.
Hirudegarn slammed it's fist down Cell's head.
Cell rose his arms blocking the attack and kicked up the beast's stomach forcing him up.
The Android flew upward and threw a chop at the monster's arm.
But Hirudegarn turned to mist before becoming solid and slashed his tail across Cell's body.
But the Android caught the tail with one hand and tossed him to the ground.
Once he was on the ground Cell decided to take the opportunity and tried to peirce the creature's body.
But again Hirudegarn turned to mist and becoming solid behind him and threw a fist at his back.
The Android turned catching the fist with relative ease.
"Of course, how am I supposed to absorb this thing if it turns to mist?" Cell said annoyed thinking that Towa brought something she can't absorb. Perhaps he only needs to incapacitate him.
Hiredgarn was about to unleash a breath of flame at him, so Cell uppercut him before he could closing it's mouth and making him a victim of it's own flame. He then unleashed a flute of punches and kicks across his body before ending his combo with a hook on the right side of the creature's head.
This sent the beast flying into the distance and colliding with a mountain.
Without much effort the demon stood up growling with relatively no issue.
"I take back what I said about this thing being fragile." Cell admitted. "It's able to withstand blunt attacks." Every attack he landed should've wounded the creature far more, but it seemed to be able to ignore it. Like it's skin was some sort of armor. He hasn't landed any pricing attacks yet, this thing turns itself into mist before anything can land to make it bleed. If he sees it coming.
Hiredegarn flew towards Cell undeterred from the unsuccessful battle so far.
"Hmph" Cell charged forward throwing a fist towards the creature's torso.
The beast didn't bother turning into mist.
At the last second before Cell's strike landed, his hand flattened like a knife's edge. It peirced into the monster's gut.
Hirudegarn roared as it landed, immediately it turned to mist and reformed a good distance away from Cell.
At first the Android was annoyed by this tedious tactic, but he noticed something.
Even though it turned to mist and reformed, it's wound was still leaking blood.
"As I thought, you can't heal from piercing attacks, can you?"
The monster roared as if it was insulted by the remark it then charged forward seeking his blood.
Cell tried to perform the same tactic throwing a fist, but changing it to a piercing flat hand.
But the creature turned to mist and reformed by Cell's side and throwing a fist.
The Android rose an arm blocking it. "Hmm, so you can learn."
Hirudegarn's entire body then turned blue, and he roared unleashing an explosion of energy.
Never seeing this tactic so far made Cell unable to see it coming and be pushed back, even wounded from the explosion.
The resulting explosion created a thick cloud of smoke surrounded the two giants.
Hoi laughed loudly seeing that his monster was having the upper hand. This foolish demon truly was a blessing, all she asked in exchange for setting Hirudegarn free was a battle with her own monster. Such a foolish decision! Nothing can triumph over Hirudegarn.
Towa grinned as if she knew how this was going to end, clearly not worried in the slightest.
Cell stood up still surrounded in smoke and wounded. 'It's now being careful not to be attacked at all, if I am going to pierce it again, I will need to use something it won't see coming.' He grinned before taking a stance, his arms crossed over him with his fists at the side of Cell's head. "Multiform" Two Cells came, the one that appeared shrank to normal size while the other remained giant.
The normal size Cell flew off close to the ground.
Once the smoke cleared it showed Hiruedgarn throwing a fist.
Cell now operating at half his full power decided to stick to defending, he blocked the monster's attack with both arms, grimacing as he did so.
Hirudegarn threw all kinds of swipes, fists, and claws all over the Android.
The Android grimaced as the pain was adding up.
Eventually the creature broke through Cell's guard forcing his arms down.
Hirudegarn then smashed it's fists on his head forcing him on the ground.
Hoi was truly enjoying the carnage before him, truly his monster was now going to slay whatever this creature is.
Towa just grinned as if already knowing what Cell was planning.
The beast did at one point stopped and swung it's tail in it's exposed chest.
Just then a spiral beam of energy pierced through the creature's stomach while Cell was on the ground, not being hit by the Special Beam Cannon.
Hoi screamed in panic. "What? Who did that?" He turned and saw something surprising.
It was another Cell, in his normal height with his fingers forward showing he had fired Piccolo's technique.
Hirudegarn was confused and caught off guard. Wounded he turned to see the assailant.
Which the gigantic Cell took advantage of and rose a rose a finger. Firing multiple Death Beams into the creature's wound.
It made the wound larger and larger, it was unable to process what had happened in time before it could turn to mist.
The beast fell to the ground holding on to it's wound.
"Hahaha" Cell laughed staring down the creature. "Well, I suppose that's the end."
His double ganger then flew into Cell and vanished forming back into him and bringing him to full power.
"It's a shame though, you had great power, but you do not possess the knowledge of how to use it efficiently." He then rose his tail and aiming down at the creature that was clearly unable to stand. "Worry not, i will put it to good use." He brought his tail down.
But to his frustration Hirudegarn turned to mist again just as his tail was going to take him.
It then reformed once the tail was pulled back.
"Grr, this creature would rather die than be apart of me?" Cell scoffed. "Damn it, this was a waste of time."
"Leave that part to me."
Cell looked down to see Towa fly over Hirdegarn's gigantic body.
Towa grinned looking down at the creature that can only stare at Cell in disdain. "I studied this creature's body and created a spell to make him stay solid, long enough to proceed with your absorption."
She then aimed her staff releasing purple energy, the beast was struck and roared in pain. It tried to change to mist to either escape or continue fighting. He couldn't, tried as he might his body would not change.
Cell looked down at Hirudegarn, still un able to move, or change it's body to mist. It was true, it would've turned to mist to save itself by now.
"No!" Hoi yelled. "T-this cannot be, how-!"
He was hit with a lightning bolt like attack and seemed to vanish from the strike.
Once that was done, Towa pulled out a syringe and stabbed into the beast's body. With a press, she took some of the beast's blood, for her own little project.
Towa grinned as she placed it in her pocket, she looked towards the colossal Cell. "Go on."
Cell rose his tail over the creature as it seemed focus on it's wound. "Don't worry, you will be something far greater." He sunk his tail into Hirudegarn's shoulder.
The creature screamed as Cell took chunks of it's bio mass into himself.
Immediately Cell's aura flared and his power up shook not only the planet but the entire solar system. "Grr!" He grunted as his power rose higher and higher with each absorption.
"I" Cell growled as if he was taking in the beast's mind for his own. "I can feel it again, my body it's changing!"
Unlike with Bojack the change was strong enough to effect his entire body.
He screamed as his body glowed, so bright that in space it looked as though a small star came to the planet.
Towa closed her eyes to protect her sight from the light. She took her arms down and she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
The colossal Cell still stood and he was now a ghostly white, as if he were a statue, then it started cracking.
"Did I miscalculate?" Towa sighed. "Great, now I'll have to find another Cell."
Just then the statue looking Cell began to fall apart.
"Wait" The demon stopped before smiling. "Oh I see, this is like Hirudegarn's metamorphosis."
The gigantic statue fell apart, large white limbs fell, before the whole body was nothing but dust.
All that was left was a figure floating in the air, wrapped in a golden light.
Cell had once again changed.
His legs now had purple patches, similar to Hiredegarn,
His torso had bronze bone like armor at his abdomen, and black armor the pictorial area.
His arms had purple patches as well.
His tail was still long though now it was covered in black metal-like bone armor with shoulder pads similar to Hirudegarn's upper body.
Now his head still had the three pronged crown like structure only with the bio gem in his forbad being blood red, similar to the patch the beast had.
His face now lost the bone mask he had, showing his face. It was more human like, it was white with yellow lines going down the sides of his face.
Cell opened his eyes showing eyes with a black background and green ring eyes.
The Android looked into his palm, this was beyond anything he imagined.
He started to laugh before letting out a huge roar.
"It won't be long now." Cell screamed as black lightning surrounded his body. "Soon, soon I will achieve my own ultimate form be ready Trunks! Hahahaha!" He laughed as he powered up with black lightning surrounding him.
Towa watched Cell power up and her staff to bring a tablet to her.
According the data as Cell is now, he has now surpassed Majin Buu after he had absorbed Gohan in one of the timeline she's explored.
Not to mention every time Cell absorbs a new life form, his body becomes stronger to withstand more energy, meaning his Broly cells will increase his Ki even further. He can see his power rising more and more.
"This is astounding." Towa said with her eyes widened. "I thought." She paused still trying find her words. "I thought I would need at least one more, but as he is, he's already getting stronger." She smiled. "All that needs to happen is for Dr. Gero to make adjustments to his body, to have his body contain even more energy ,then he will be ready to take in those two."
She thought of 17 and 18 back with Android 21. It won't be long before it's time to let them know the bad news.
Towa smiled, in just a few days they will be ready, to bring Trunks to his knees.
Soon everything will be over and then, she can begin her own plans for time travel. Maybe she'll have Dr. Gero help out, he seemed to continue being an asset.
Looking at Cell now even without 17 and 18 he truly was something to be feared.
He was something Beyond Perfection.

Trunks's Timeline
A day had finally passed.
Lazuli and Zangya had exited the time chamber.
Both of them covered in scratches and bruises.
"That was a more pleasant year than I thought." Zangya smirked. "We got stronger and I got to one up you plenty of times."
"Don't get used to it." Lazuli responded with a smirk. "Besides, I know your mad, that I found your weakness."
The Hera rolled her eyes in response as they walked out onto the lookout.
Once they did they were greeted by each of their sons.
"Hi mom." Shorz said greeting Lazuli.
She smiled and hugged her young son.
As did Joyaku.
But Zangya grabbed her son and hugged him tightly.
"M-mom?" Joyaku complained as Zangya was rubbing her cheek up and down him. "Let me go, I'm happy to see you but it was only a day!"
"For me it was a year! Let me enjoy this my baby boy!" Zangya said.
Shorz chuckled seeing his cousin in peril. But then he noticed he couldn't get out of her mother's grip.
"Huh, uh mom, happy to see you but could you'
"Quiet" Lazuli demanded being more reserved but showing that she had missed her son much to his embarrassment.
The rest of their families showed.
Zangya hugged Lapis after being apart from him for a year.
Lazuli did the same to her daughter and husband.
"Now, it's your turn." Zangya said. "I can wait one more day." She sighed annoyed at being apart from Lapis for that long.
Trunks sighed as he turned to Lazuli. "Actually there's a slight change in plans."
"Mom" Iolite began. "I talked to dad, and we have a deal that I want you to agree with."
Lazuli kept quite as she listened.
As she listened she looked to Iolite, still seeing the little girl she wanted to protect. But she knew how strong she was and how much she wanted to help and she might need the training anyway.
"Fine, but like your father said, the minute you show any fatal signs, the deal is off." Lazuli agreed with her arms crossed.
Iolite growled, she was hoping her mother would change the deal a bit to suit her needs. But she realized that this was the best she was going to get.
"Ok, but remember, if I can fight dad at his full power, then I'm in." She stated.
Both her parents, uncle and Auntie all agreed.
"One of us should go with her." Trunks suggested.
"No" Iolite stated. "Not yet, I would slow you down, let get stronger first, dad you probably would have gotten even stronger if you didn't have to worry about me in the time chamber."
She wasn't wrong as much as he hated to admit it.
"Alright Iolite, this is your chance, and remember if you fail, your staying on the Supreme Kai's planet, without complaint."
Her parents gave her a hug.
"I wish you luck Iolite." Trunks stated. "Whatever happens make the most of your training, stay focused and don't feel deterred."
"And be careful." Lazuli noted her daughter. "We don't want you hurt."
Iolite couldn't really find much comfort in their words, they still made it clear that they didn't want her to join the battle.
She nodded knowing that they were hoping he would fail for her 'safety' she was going to prove them wrong no matter what. And even her grandfather will have to acknowledge that he was wrong.
The young girl walked into the Hyperbolic Time chamber, prepared for the hardest year of her life.

Dr. Gero's Earth
Towa appeared in a laboratory watching the doctor work on his next project.
"I take it you were satisfied with what happened with Hirudegarn."
The doctor turned to her. "You find the most interesting creatures, I must say, Cell has gained monsterous power in only a day, first Broly, Bojack, then this monster, what other timelines have you seen?"
Towa chuckled. "In due time doctor, besides, I'm sure your'e enjoying exploring on your own."
The doctor was surprised hearing that.
"Relax, just be careful with how you interfere with time, too much of a change and the gods will notice, and we need time for Beerus."
"I am only planning to experiment with one timeline, I won't be making any major changes." He explained. "With time travel, I rather experiment before doing too much."
Towa nodded, good to know the mad scientist was cautious with what she gave him.
"Enough of that, how long will your copies take with Cell's body?"
"Just this week." Dr. Gero said. "Once i modify his body, it should push his mutated Saiyan cells to push him to his maximum potential, and then, he will be ready… for them." He thought of his own creations 17 and 18.
Towa smiled hearing that, everything was falling into place, soon the board will be wiped clean of those who stand in her way. Soon the universe, all of time will belong to the demon realm.
"Very good, I will leave you to your work."
"One moment." Gero demanded with his hand raised. "I saw you had taken the swordsman Tapion, what are you doing with him, surely you wanted me to make him an Android as well?"
Towa turned to him. "No doctor, I have my own experiment to conduct with him, I assure you he will be an asset, please focus on your own specimens." She tapped the staff and vanished.
XXX
Unknown Area
Tapion groaned as he awoke, last he remembered…Hirudegarn!
He tried to get up but he couldn't, his body wasn't responding, all he could do was move his head. The Konatsian looked down, his limbs and waist were strapped on to this table.
They looked like he would be able to break free, but he couldn't move, he must have been poisoned by that woman.
But what happened with Hirudegarn? And why was he here?
"Oh you're awake."
He turned to see the blue woman from before. "You! You freed Hirudegarn! Where is he? Why have you brought me here?!"
Towa walked over to Tapion with a smile.
"Hirudegarn is no more, now he has become a part of an even greater monster." She had a smirk on her face.
"Even greater?" The swordsman was confused. "W-what do you mean? Why would you do that?"
"Why do you save people? It's in your nature." She said smirking. "This is mine, to make powerful warriors for my own gain." She lifted up a needle.
Tapion glared at her. "What is that?'
"I took some material from Hirudegarn." She brought the needle close to his neck. "You spent so much time with him that I thought you'd miss him, this way he won't be sealed away from you, he will become a part of you."
Tapion looked terrified hearing that he tried his best to move.
"Do not do it!" The swordsman yelled as he tried to break free.
The demon lightly pressed the needle beside his neck.
"You don't know what you're doing!" Tapion yelled. "You will kill yourself as well as the entire unive-!"
Towa finally pressed the needle, injecting him with some of his greatest enemy's blood.
"Ahhhh!" Tapion screamed in pain as his body began to slowly mutate. He kept shaking on the lab table, his eyes slowly changed to black like Hiredegarn's, the sides of his head started showing two tiny horns.
The demon mistress chuckled. "Trunks should thank me, he will be reacquainted with an old friend." She thought of how he had to kill Tapion in his own timeline to stop Hirudegarn.
Something similar may happen, now though the monster won't simply be sealed within Tapion. It will be a new fusion.
Tapion kept letting out pained screams.
In mere moments he no longer screamed, he let out a mighty roar too similar to the demon he and his brother tried so hard to stop.
XXX
Trunk's Timeline
In the hyperbolic timeline Iolite was already training hard.
It had only been one hour in the outside world, in here it had been two weeks inside.
Iolite screamed as her power level jumped, her aura spread across the void room, blue lightning spread all over her body.
Her hair started to rise, grow and extend.
She was doing it, she was going through the change!
But then she felt it, her body was starting be effected, not in a positive way, she can feel it the strain on her ki.
"Tch" Iolite new that if she tried to do it right now, Dende would realize she was already killing herself. Thus ending the deal and she would have to remain on the Supreme Kai's planet.
She stopped and sighed.
Her grandfather warned her about this. The third transformation was perfect for dead Saiyans, but in the living world, her body was at risk, she might need more than a year to adjust to it.
If only she can heal herself.
Wait. Could that be possible?
Just then she felt a hand on her shoulder.
She turned to see Zangya. "Auntie?" She was surprised to see her here in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
"Hi little gem." The Hera smiled. "Just checking in, it's only been two weeks from you and I can tell your already getting stronger, how are you faring?"
Iolite smiled back though clearly she wasn't so comfortable. "I'm doing fine Auntie, sorry but I really need to train so I can't stay and talk now."
The Hera was suprised by that answer and can practically see the doubt in her eyes.
Zangya put her arm around her. "This adorable little girl seems to be growing up." She said with a smile. "Not too long ago you were so small and fragile, now look at you. All serious and wanting to be big and strong now." She hugged her tightly.
"Stop" Iolite whined. "I know you hope I'll fail, you still think I need to be protected, don't you?" She crossed her arms and looked down.
Zangya chuckled. "Your father's just being overprotective, I'm sure he still remembers holding you in his arms when you were born as if it were yesterday. This is your opportunity to prove him that you've grown, and just so you know I'm rooting for you." She smiled at her nice.
Iolite was surprised to hear her Aunt was rooting for her when her parents weren't.
"Also, don't think so bad of your parents, they don't want you to fail they want you safe." Zangya emphasized. "I know I'd be the same way, if Joyaku were to try to join a battle to the death, even if he were your age, remember my own mother didn't care for my safety when she allowed me to be taken for training in exchange for luxuries."
The daughter of Trunks nodded remembering the story of her mother. Iolite has parents that loved her and wanted her safe unlike she did.
Zangya then pulled something from her packet and showed it. "I made this for you, was planning to give it after the battle, but I think it'd be appropriate to do it now."
It was a purple sash with a gold chain, identical to Zangya's own.
"You made this for me?" Iolite asked.
"I like how you dress, but I always thought you needed something a bit more feminine in addition to your outfit."
She took the sash and attached it to her waist.
"Beautiful now your outfit is a perfect mix between your favorite Auntie, and your big lug uncle."
Iolite looked at the outfit she took inspiration from Android 16. She looked saddened thinking of what he was going through.
"Uh, uh, uh" Zangya put a hand on her shoulder. "None of that, we are going to free him, and when you join us, I'm sure his heart will melt looking at you. He always had a soft spot for you."
When she joins. Not if she joins.
Iolite smiled at her. "Thank you Auntie, I will get stronger and I'm going to do everything I can to stop my father and uncle's counterparts, and free uncle 16 from Towa."
Zangya nodded as she gave her one last hug, before walking away.
Before she exited the time chamber, Iolite thought of something.
"Wait, Aunt Zangya, I need one thing from you."
The Hera turned to her niece.
"I have an idea that might help me with my training, I need you to ask for the Supreme Kai's assistant to join me." She knew with Dende it wouldn't work since it was something only the dragon clan can do. But who knows if a kai's ability can or cannot be taught. "I need you to ask for Kibito to help me train."
Zangya was confused to no end. The old red attendant to the Supreme Kai?
"This seems strange, how exactly could he help?"
The Saiyan hybrid smiled. "It's just an idea, I don't know if it's possible, but if it is, I can definitely catch up to everyone."
This maybe her only hope to obtaining and mastering Super Saiyan 3 in just one year.

Dr. Gero's Timeline
Dr. Gero focused on his work, looking at the lab table that he was working on when Towa was here.
It was his home timeline's Zangya, who had been cut open at the waist with a bunch of wires sticking on the inside. The Hera's eyes were closed, either she was dead or under heavy anesthesia for the 'surgery'.
He cut and prodded all over his new subjects body.
Just then the door opened.
"Excuse me, Doctor"
Gero turned to see one of his best Androids.
Android 41 bowed to Gero as two other Androids that looked very human walked by carrying an individual with Saiyan armor.
"We have brought you your next subject as you asked."
Dr. Gero looked at the man that they had brought in.
He had spiker black hair that was similar to Vegeta's only slanted to the left, and a monkey looking tail hanging down.
The young man glared up at the elder man. "You! Who are you?!"
Dr. Gero made no comment, he only smirked as he walked up to him with his arms behind his back.
"So good of you to have arrived, you must be Tarble, I am pleased that Frieza had failed to exterminate all of your people, I have always been curious to see what my adjustments would do for a Saiyan." Dr. Gero smiled as he looked at the Androids carrying him.
One of them knocked out this version of Tarble with a single chop, forcing him to lose consciousness.
"Excellent work, 41" He said to her smiling before looking at the two other Androids. "Place him on the other table."
Tarble's body had been placed on a lab table and another copy of Dr. Gero had prepared tools to begin to convert him into an Android as well as Zangya.
Dr. Gero smirked looking forward to these two new subjects.
This deal truly was a boon even if he didn't trust Towa, he had to admit, the benefits were living up to what she had promised.
Soon he will have Androids with unrivaled power, and turn not just the Earth, but the entire Universe into his own laboratory!
And it won't end there, he has even grander plans.
He can see another copy of him is working on another side project.

Elsewhere On Dr. Gero's Earth
Another copy of Dr. Gero was typing on a computer console.
On the screen looked like blue prints.
He was looking into the chip that Towa had given him and already was hard at work at analyzing it. Bulma also had been working on a time machine in her last moments before Android 13 killed her. He was already hard at work at studying time travel, with Towa's help he was now able to accelerate his plans.
In mere hours after Cell began his training he was able to craft his next project.
In front of him was a large metal curve structure appeared.
From the data Towa's chip was legitimate, she had instructed not to alert the gods like one named Beerus, the God of Destruction. So he himself should refrain from going back in time, as two Gero's in one timeline would no doubt be noticeable. So instead of going himself he will leave instructions.
"This point should do." Gero stated as he pressed some buttons.
The screen read "Age 747", twenty years before his death, and the rampage of 17 and 18.
In this orb was a message with detailed instructions on how to make 17 and 18 more compliant, as well as upgrades he made for himself and Androids.
He could add more, such as Goku succumbing to a heart virus, or Gohan's potential, and Trunks's tenacity to survive to ensure his counterpart complete control over the timeline.
But the doctor preferred to start small with something brand new, he learned that the hard way when 17 and 18 had killed him.
"Now, go." The doctor pressed a final button.
The arch opened up a glowing portal.
In the portal was a version of Dr. Gero working tirelessly, twenty years before 17 and 18 awaken.
The ball came through the portal to bring his counterpart what he needs.
With the portal now closed, Dr. Gero smiled as he watched through the Time WIndow.
He cannot wait to see how this timeline shapes out to be.
Since this was new, it was best he'd follow Towa's advice, not to make too much of a change.
For now.
He smiled. "First him, then all timelines, will be improved. One day I will create infinite timelines, all will submit to the new red ribbon army."
First he will deal with Trunks, and then, all timelines will be his experiments do with as he sees fit.
He looked at the data of the new Cell.
Soon, he will have a form beyond Perfection.
As I'm sure you noticed, I've been naming Cell's chapters with references to the movies he fought.
The Legendary Super Saiyan/Android
Wrath of the Dragon/Beyond
Was gonna name it Wrath of the Android, but I am planning on naming his 'Perfect' form his Beyond form and it just sounds so much cooler.
I wanted to do one with Bojack, but sadly at that point Cell was too much so I coulnd't write a chapter detailing a fight.
Android Unbound
That name sounds cool, maybe I should've had him fight Bojack first instead.
Oh well, a lesson for my next story.
Speaking of that, what Dr. Gero is doing with the time machine, will start a spin off of Dragon Ball OT, which will start after the current arc of my other story One's Own Path ends. Hope you guys look forward to that.
They also will be fighting in the Tournament of Space and time that I mentioned a couple chapters ago, or at least the Androids will.
Hope to see u at the spin off.

shadowriter01: You were right I didn't think about that enough so I changed it, so now the plan is to hide the kids on the Supreme Kai's planet, Goku and the others can also go there for their protection, and train them just in case Trunks and Co fall, that way they can train with the best of the best and hopefully stop them one day. IF it resorts to that.
Alright guys see u in the next chapter.
Have an awesome day! :)
