Hey guys one chapter from now and the final battle will start.
Before that, I have made more art.
Remember I'm not much of an artist but I hope you'll like them.
Go to my deviantart and look for the following.
My deviantart: RaosFanfics
Lapis, for him I kept it simple I was going to give him his DBS outfit but I wanted him to have his own outfit since he's apart of this timeline not Supers.
Lazuli I made her clothes inspired by Cynthia from pokemon, I'm gonna try to remake it as I think I could've done better hope you liked the outfit though.
Iolite, her outfit is themed after Android 16, in honor of the uncle she had lost. Her sash was gifted to her by her auntie Zangya. As for her face and hair, wanted her to have the face of Lazuli but the hair of Trunks only more feminine, hope it came out ok.
Gonna make the kids, then Zazuli in her new outfit and even Lapiks next.
Hope you look forward to it.
Beyond All Time
Lapis and Trunks stood across from one another in the hyperbolic time chamber.
It had been months inside and the two were about to clash again.
The two clashed in punches and kicks.
The two clashed elbows and grinned at each other.
"We're 50/50 now, think I'll take the lead again?" Lapis grunted.
"Get your priories straight Lapis, we're here to get stronger not settle-Gah!"
Lapis kicked into Lapis's stomach and then threw a fist across his cheek.
Trunks was flown back while Lapis flew over him and tried to kick down his chest.
The half Saiyan grabbed his leg and swung tossing him aside.
Lapis landed on the ground and smirked.
Trunks glared at him. "Is fighting dirty necessary?"
"Hey, you can't expect our enemies to fight clean." He aimed his hands firing multiple energy blasts from his palms.
Trunks flew forward swiping away the energy attacks.
He rose a fist and fired an energy blast of his own.
Lapis ducked underneath the wave of energy, he looked to see Trunks raise a leg to kick up his chin.
But the Android back flipped avoiding the kick and throwing one of his own.
And Trunks leaned back avoiding the Android's kick as well.
The two then entered a mother hand to hand skirmish.
Lapis threw a fist coated in his barrier technique.
Trunks tilted his head and tried to throw an elbow towards Lapis's face.
The Android catches it and throws another kick for Trunks's side.
But the half Saiyan catches the kick with his other arm and slammed his head into the Android.
Lapis's head reared back.
The half Saiyan then threw down a chop for Lapis's side.
But the Android recovered, grabbing Trunks's hand and pulled before slamming his elbow into Trunks's chest.
This forced Trunks back a second before Lapis rose a hand trying to shop down at Trunks's shoulder.
But the Saiyan blocked it and thrusted his hand forward with a yellow energy blast in hand to Lapis's face.
Seeing it coming the Android kicked up Trunks's hand forcing the energy blast to fly up.
Lapis then tried to kick his face.
But Trunks ducked beneath the kick and he tried to throw a fist for Lapis's stomach.
But a small barrier formed in front of Lapis's abdomen
Lapis's arms are raised at his sides, his hands into chopping positions, he swings his arms crossed planning to chop his opponent's neck at both sides.
Trunks ducks underneath before swept kicking Lapis.
As the Android was starting to fall, he was kicked up his back into the air.
Trunks flew upward and kicked up Lapis's back again.
The Saiyan then appeared upward with his hands up forming a golden energy ball.
On the way up Lapis smirked as he moved his arms.
"Finish Buster!" He slammed down the energy ball.
Lapis put his hands against the energy attack and was pushed back. But he was smiling as if he wasn't concerned, a yellow barrier actually surrounded the Finish Buster.
Trunks observed with a calm face expecting it to explode.
But it didn't, Lapis then tossed the barrier covered Finish Buster up at Trunks. The barrier faded and was about to hit Trunks.
He rose his hand forming his Royal Blade, cutting the Finish Buster in half and forming two giant golden explosions behind him.
"That was new." Trunks responded. "What do you call that?" He asked as his Royal Blade faded away.
"It's nothing new" Lapis admitted. "It's just Frieza's Imrprisonment Ball that I copied from him, only now I can use it to trap energy attacks to." He then vanished wanting to continue the fight.
Trunks vanished as well the two fought across the void of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
Lapis punched up Trunks's face sending him to the air, then appeared where Trunks was headed with a kick up his side sending him up, he then vanished and kick down his stomach.
Trunks caught himself and thrusted his arms forward before rising them and thrusting them forward. "Burning Burrage Attack!"
Three orange fiery energy blasts were fired towards Lapis.
The Android smiled as he brought his hands forward, unleashing waves of yellow.
One was covered in yellow light and was set aside, as was the next and the last one.
All three were in front of Lapis like a triangle.
"Take them back!" He yelled before slamming his hand down on one of the captured Burning Attacks as he did with the other two in different directions.
Trunks wasn't expecting him to be that precise and jumped across the battle field making gigantic yellow explosions.
Lapis then rose his arm.
Trunks couldn't sense it, but after fighting Lapis and Lazuli for so long he has learned to use his other senses to know when energy attacks were being fired.
He jumped away from where he was.
A large wave of energy was fired from beneath the ground.
Lapis smirked down at him with his arms crossed. "Come on, that's not all you got is it? Guess it is unfair, I got unlimited energy and your energy attacks are basically useless to me."
Trunks panted he was at his limit and he was right energy attacks were almost useless to him.
Almost.
Trunks smiled before raising an arm showing the red energy taking shape into an anchor like sword, like the Vegeta family symbol.
Lapis wondered what he was up to, he knows that blade can't slash threw his barrier.
The Saiyan then swung his arm in an arc. "Royal Daggers!" He yelled turning his one sword into four daggers in the shape of the royal symbol.
"Hah, not listening I see." Lapis aimed his hand forward in an attempt to bind them all for his usage.
But just before he could trap them the nearest one detonated in an explosion began enough to harm Lapis.
"What?!" Then the next one, third one and the last one all exploded sending Lapis spinning from the force.
Trunks then appeared behind him and slammed a kick across his side.
Lapis screamed as he didn't see that coming.
The Saiyan then continued his assault and elbowed across the Android's cheek, he then grabbed his head before pulling his head and kneeing him in his face. He then upper cutter him with a fast punch. Then he slammed multiple punches into Lapis's stomach. He then flipped downward with his arms raised in a combined fist and slammed them down on Lapis's head.
The Android screamed as he fell and hit the ground.
Lapis grunted as he pushed himself up.
Trunks landed behind him. "You we're saying?"
"Copying your own son's move? Isn't that a bit low?" He asked turning to Trunks.
The half Saiyan chuckled. "He made that technique based on mine, I'd say it's fair to take it for myself. I'll be sure to let him now how it humbled his uncle."
Lapis spit blood out of his mouth before spreading his arms wide.
A giant green barrier surrounded them both.
Trunks was confused, wondering what the purpose of this was, it's not like he was going to run.
Lapis raced forward with his left arm cocked back. Once he was close to his opponent and fired an energy wave for his face.
Trunks vanished as the wave went through him.
The energy wave crashef into the barrier around them.
Trunks appeared behind Lapis and kicked straight into his back.
The Android crashed into his own barrier, he immediately jumped up with his hands together and fired multiple energy blasts.
Trunks evaded and moved all over the place as the beams missed him.
The energy attacks all hit the barrier around them but there were no explosions.
Once they all missed Trunks axe kicked Lapis's head forcing him to look down.
Trunks threw a fist towards Lapis's stomach.
But the Android grabbed his fist pushed it up and kicked into the Saiyan's midsection.
The half Saiyan punched the ground to stop hikself from going too far.
Lapis then squeezed his fist and pulled.
Trunks wondered what he was doing.
The barrier surrounding them glowed yellow and multiile energy blasts were fired.
The saiyan spread his arms apart unleashing his own energy to counter his surroundings.
And it worked he was able to avoid damage to his body but at the expense of his own energy.
Lapis watched as his barrier faded away once the explosion was done he can see Trunks was still in his Ultimate Form but clearly haggard.
Trunks panted as he put his hands on his knees.
"Nows my chance!" Lapis knew that it was now or never.
The Saiyan turned to ses his rival was ready to finish this.
But Trunks was ready to counter he got to the ground placed his hand down.
Lapis kicked into Trunks chin forcing him flat on his back.
The Android grinned as he saw that his hair became relaxed.
But Trunks still grinned.
Before Lapis could ask the ground beneath him cracked, a familiar shaped energy sword ce from the ground and struck his chin.
But instead of peircing him it exploded forcing him on the ground.
Trunks chuckled seeing Lapis on the ground. "That wouldve peorced you if I didnt dull the blade. Looks like its our first draw huh?"
Lapis frowned as he sat up. "Eh whatever next time."
Both the Saiyan and the Android would train harder experimenting with new techniques as well as of course getting stronger.
XXX
The Lookout
While Lapis and Trunks train the Lazuli and Zangya were spending time with their respective sons
Joyaku was sparring with his mother while Lazuli was watching a tv with Shorz they had brought via capsule.
All the while Iolite was at the center of the lookout. She was in her Super Saiyan 3 form, she was trying to keep her form as lomg as possible. Healing when her body was taking too much strain.
This was it, she can finally prove to herself to be worthy if fighting ny her family's side. And her thoughts drifted to her uncle 16. She remembered when she was so young always playing with him. That brought her peace and seemed to help her body accept the form with less strain, the same principle used to accept the first form.
Soon she'll have what she needs to bring him back.
XXX
21's Hideout
Zangya and Tarble were on seperate tables connected to wires bathing in a light the same light that powered 17 and 18.
Android 21 was looking over their blueprints. "Fascining I thought these two would be simple Androids but their actually tailored to benifit their biology."
She looked at Tarble at his tail. "I thought it was strange at this point it's supposed to be cut off." She giggled. "And Zangya's, Oh my dear Gero as brilliant as always."
She cant wait to see the look on their faces when it was time.
"Now" She glanced at a computer hooked to 16's head. "Time to see what we can do with you."
16 said nothing as she typed on the computer.
"Oh whats this? Your memories of our enemies, hmm, I better extract this."
After their gone 16 will be completely obedient to them.
"I" 16 started to speak. "Recommend against this."
21 was annoyed hearing that. "So your still naughty 16? Hmm all the more reason to delete."
"I can use these to my advantage." The corrupted 16 stated. "If they believe that I am still defected it will refrain them from destroying me."
She knew that he was using that as an excuse to keep this memory. A sign that he was still defected.
"16 you dont intend on betraying me do you? I rather you stay at my side after us being apart for so long."
The large Android said nothing in responce.
"I only seek to ensure your sucsess."
"Hmm"
She looked into 16's memories it was quite ludicrous how one if 's strongest creations ended up like this.
She even sees a video of him talking to Bulma about... being human? She was going to make a human body for him? How absurd.
Why would he desire that an Android seeks to perform their function nothing more.
She typed on her computer.
Just then the screen read delete? It was for all of his memories with the Z-fighters.
She was about to click the yes button.
But she hesitated, she knew this would be the smart decision.
However ever since she had found 16 something stirred in her, even more so when he resisted her programming the first time.
Its as though the mother in her wanted what would make her son happy.
The cursor hovered over the delete button for awhile before she made her decision.
XXX
Capule Corp
Bulma was hard at work with her own projects.
First she had 17 and 18's copies on the lab tables.
She made a discovery with their bodies they werent one to one copies of 17 and 18 they had different designs. They were Machine Mutant, the same as General Rildo was, not Androids, made to merge with Dr. Gero's androids they had no will of their own only to find and merge with their Android counterparts.
Now she can make them merge with their own cyborgs.
And second was trying out Trunks's idea. She knows that this would help but worried that he would lose himself. But after knowing the monsterous power 17 and 18 had she knew she had to do what she can to help him gain power.
She only hoped that this wasnt a mistake.
It wont be long now.
XXX
Days later...
Once Trunks and Lapis had their turn in the hyperbolic time chamber two others went into the Time chamber.
Lazuli and Zangya would enter for a second year of training.
And again Trunks and Lapis would enter to receive another year.
At first Iolite was annoyed by this but Trunks rationalized that they don't know when they will be needed and so need to make sure they can at least keep up with Zangya and Lazuli.
He promised she would be next after their year.
They would push themselves to further increase their power once again.
After they had finished Iolite finally was ready to join.
Trunks and Lazuli offered to be her training partner.
But Iolite knew there was one person who could help her perfect her Super Saiyan 3 so she would no longer need healing.
XXX
Hyperbolic Time Chamber
Zangya felt a little overwhelmed she had just finished another year in this room, but she always did have trouble saying no to her neice.
Iolite stood across from the Hera doing stretches.
"Are you sure about this?" Zangya asked.
Iolite nodded determined. "Yeah, with the way your Psycho State works, if I can manage my new form while dealing with it it'll get me closer to mastering it."
The Hera felt worried doing this since she knows the third state already drains her energy. Sure the healing helps but it only slows it down.
But she was going to be part of the coming battle, she'll do what she must for her sake.
"Alright, let me know when it's too much." She said as she powered up to her Hera transformation, and then a violet Aura, her Psycho State was now on.
Iolite screamed as her hair grew becoming a Super Saiyan 3.
The Saiyan raced towards the Hera.
And predictably, her energy was already draining when she got close.
Zangya rose an arm blocking a kick.
The Super Saiyan 3 threw a flurry of punches and kicks, each were either evaded or blocked.
There was no offense whatsoever, and already Iolite's transformation wore off.
She was kneeling in her second form, clearly helpless to Zangya's technique.
"Hmm, this might take a while."
"All the more reason this'll be worth it, go train on our own, I'll my own after I rest." Iolite wiped her brow. "Would you mind making a routine of this?"
Zangya nodded. "Of course, let's see how much further we can make you stronger."
Day by day, they would train on their own, using Iolite's Super Saiyan 3 against Zangya's Psycho State.
Eventually after the forth month a change would happen.
Iolite blocked a fist from Zangya with her right arm.
The Saiyan threw a kick to the Hera's side.
Zangya blocked it with her free arm.
"Would you look at that, your able to withstand this much draining and still keeping the form."
"I hardly have to heal myself anymore." Iolite smiled. "I wonder if it'll ever feel like my first form."
The pair separated and flew up.
They began to clash all over the area.
Zangya spun kick across Iolite's chin.
She then tried to threw a punch towards her face.
Iolite retaliated by rising her knee and kicking into Zangya's abdomen.
The Saiyan pulled back her leg and spun kick across her back.
This sent the green woman flying.
She then flew up in the air and kicked down Zangya's back.
Zangya hit the ground, but she stood up wiping blood out of her mouth.
Iolite was panting and eventually reverted to base.
"Damn it, thought I'd stay longer."
Zangya chuckled. "You're still getting better and better with the form. With eight months left, let's make the most of this, little gem."
Iolite nodded and they would do as she said, Zangya perfecting her technique and Iolite her third form.
All the while on the outside the others would receive new powers of their own.
XXX
On the Lookout
Trunks, Lapis, Lazuli, Shorz and Joyaku were looking at Bulma.
"Alright, it took a bit, but I managed." She handed two capsules to the twins.
Lapis and Lazuli looked at the capsules.
"You sure this is safe?"
"One hundred percent." Bulma said smiling. "I even had them out to see how they would react."
"What?" Trunks asked. "Mom, I told you to wait for us before you looked at them."
"I know, I know but I didn't want to disturb your training, besides it worked out, go on let them out."
Lapis pulled Joyaku behind him as Lazuli did the same with Shorz.
The siblings looked at each other and nodded.
Both tossed the capsules.
Once they made a cloud two figures stood.
It was 17 and 18 in their original outfits, or at least they seemed to be.
The real cyborgs stared at the dobblegangers cautiously.
Their duplicates didn't react.
"Like I told you, both of them are made differently than you, they have blank slates just waiting to pair with you." Bulma explained. "Their not even made the same way, their blueprints are completely different made to merge with you two, I made sure that there's no programming in them whatsoever."
Trunks stood next to his son and nephew.
"Let's wait for Zangya, just in case." Lazuli offered. "She can defuse us in case anything happens."
Bulma agreed with that, realizing that it was better safe than sorry, she then walked over to Trunks.
"Here" She pulled out what looked like a gun that looked like a small satellite dish. "I finally managed it, oof, you wouldn't believe the guess work this took."
Trunks looked at the 'gun' in his hands, it was something he thought of years ago to further his power if he ever needed it.
"Thanks mom, this might be what we need." He said smiling. "I'll test it out on my third day in the time chamber." He said smiling.
Trunks looked at the gun it was just as he and his mother designed it.
A gun that generates 17 billion blutz waves. It produced enough blutz waves a thousand times as strong to turn a Saiyan into the long forgotten monster they used to conquer worlds.
While he didn't like to use something so monstrous, he remembers how ridiculous the growth his wife and brother in law from the past had.
They were so strong that years ago either one of them would have destroyed them all when they fought Baby.
It was decided that he needed to find every possible way to get stronger, even if he has to try to tame the monster that made the Saiyans so feared.
Lapis and Lazuli looked into their capsules the same way, feeling similar, they trusted Bulma of course but they couldn't help but think what would happen if she was wrong, if Towa had thought of this possibility, would they have their programming back?
They would have to wait, when Zangya and Iolite would finish their training.
Only by then would they find out.
Hopefully they had the time they need before it was time for them to go to war.
XXX
One Day Later Dr. Gero's Timeline
17 and 18 were standing with their arms crossed.
"Grr, this is taking too long." 17 said annoyed. "Where are our copies? She's taking her sweet time."
"I know." 18 responded. "I say we sneak up on 16 and make 21 work faster!"
The brother and sister seemed to agree on this when suddenly a portal opened.
Not suprised the two expected only one with that ability.
"17 and 18 I thank you for your patience." Towa smiled at them.
"What are our copies ready?" 17 asked annoyed. "Then get them out here! We're sick of waiting."
Still smiling Towa put a hand to her chin as though she were inquisitive.
"Copies? Oh i see I believe 21 forgot to tell you."
"Tell us what?" 18 demanding raising her fists as did her brother.
"Towa" 21 walked in with Android 16 by her side. "I wanted to bear the news at the last second why must you ruin my fun." She said smiling.
Towa only chuckled back before looking at 17 and 18's angry faces.
"My apologies Ive been keeping this in for so long that I couldnt hide it."
17 and 18 got into fighting stances.
"Start talking. What plans?" 17 stated.
Towa turned to her portal that was still open.
"Dont be shy whats taking so long?"
As she said that a clased foot past through the portal as did another.
17 and 18 were confused at who or what they were seeing.
It was some sort if alien with green and bronze skin. Its face looked somewhat human, its eyes were black with a white slit down each of them. Its had a three pronged crown like structure only with a gem in the center of it's forehead being blood red.
Cell looked down at the two and grinned.
"At last we meet." Cell smiled showing fangs. "17 and 18."
"The hell is this thing?" 17 turned to 21.
"He's the solution to all our problems." 21 said. "All he needs to do is have a little snack." She licked her lips. "You two."
"A snack?" 18 turned to the creature. "Wait a minute, you" She thought of when they had killed Dr. Gero.
17 was also going through a trip down memory lane remembered what Dr. Gero called his "Ultimate Android".
A small thing floating in a tube with liquid.
"Wait, are you telling me, this thing, is what Dr. Gero was working on when we killed him?" 17 asked.
Cell chuckled. "Call me Cell, and yes, I am Dr. Gero's greatest Android."
21 was annoyed hearing that but she smiled, it was fine with her new ability it won't be for long after they are finished with Trunks and his rogue Androids.
"You" 18 glared at 21 and Towa. "You made a big mistake going for this thing."
"No kidding." 17 turned to Cell. "I'm the Ultimate Android, after we're done with this thing, you two are next."
The twins were starting to never to the same personalities they had when they killed Dr. Gero.
"Let's not be hasty." Towa said looking between the twins and Cell. "I propose a contest, Cell is going to try to absorb 17 and 18 if he succeeds he will be the one to destroy Trunks and your counterparts."
Cell was calm but on the inside he was salivating. He was so close, to his ultimate prize. Just one more battle and he will become the ultimate being.
"17 and 18, if you destroy him, not only will we build you copies, we will also give you access to your own time machine." Towa offered. "Imagine an infinite supply of timelines to destroy, all yours for the taking. Do these rules seem acceptable.
The twins can tell they had no choice in this, though what she said was beyond enticing. Their own time machine to have infinite earth's to play with, infinite versions of Trunks to toy with. And even defeat Goku who had evaded their grasp.
But really they knew better than to trust them. When they win they will slaughter them and find a way to make their own doubles!
"Fine, I'm game." 17 cracked his knuckles.
18 played with her hair staring at the monster before them. "Hope Dr. Gero doesn't miss you too much."
Cell chuckled. "He won't miss you, since you will live on, as a part of me."
"One moment." 21 interrupted before typing on a computer.
"The hell you doing now?" 18 asked knowing she just betrayed them minutes ago.
"A change in scenery." She explained before pressing a button.
The entire area changed into what looked like a deserted city surrounded Cell and the Androids.
"How's this? I thought you could do with what might be a last familiar sight."
Both 17 and 18 were definitely going to kill her slow for this.
Staring at Cell they see he took a fighting stance, it was time to show that they were the strongest Androids.
The twins charged forward at speeds too fast for many to see.
The bio Android rose his arms blocking a kick from 18 and a punch from 17.
Both Androids yelled as they threw multiple punches and kicks.
Cell was able to evade or block both but barely it was a struggle keeping up with both of them.
"Hehe, my astounding strength, you two will truly complete me!" He threw a fist across 17's jaw and a kick in 18's midsection.
17 recovered and spun kick across Cell's head.
"Grr" The Android stumbled forward.
18 threw a fist straight into his gut forcing him to keel over, she then rose her fist uppercutting the Android sending him in the air.
17 flew up and smashed his fists on to his head.
The bio Android was sent downward where his sister as standing.
18 kicked across the back of Cell.
It was enough force to send the green and bronze android skidding across the arena.
Cell was getting up but smiling, they truly were absurdly strong, leagues above Hirudegarn, if it wasn't for Dr. Gero's constant upgrading he wouldn't be alive right now.
17 had his arms apart holding twin blue energy spheres, he swung firing them in his position.
The Android jumped as they hit the ground making two explosions.
Behind him 18 threw a kick aiming for his arm.
But Cell saw her coming, he lifted his arm and caught her kick before smashing his fist across her face.
18 crashed into the wall, but she just got angry and threw multiple Ki blasts in his direction.
Cell evaded every blast not intending to show all his best cards yet.
While he dodged 17 flew right in front of him and kicked up his chin.
As the Android was in the air 18 appeared above where he was and kicked down his chest sending him to the ground.
Cell was on the ground and before he could get up he felt something slam into his back. He turned and was momentarily stunned.
17 was holding onto Cell's tail, he had a sick grin on his face.
"So I take it this thing is what you'll use to absorb us?" He asked before pulling.
Cell screamed as he felt his tail being stretched too much, he rose his hand up intending to blast him off.
But 18 flew down smashed her boot onto his arm.
Now free her brother kept pulling and pulling, until finally.
*TEAR!*
Cell's blackened tell had been pulled off.
"Ahhhh!" The monster screamed as his purple blood sprayed.
17 tossed the tail aside before aiming his hand at Cell's face as 18 kept her boot on the monster's arm.
But he grinned as he opened his mouth, it unleashed a stream of fire from his mouth, hot enough to melt the skin of even an Android.
Both 17 and 18 dodged the fire breath and stood across from the creature.
Cell stood tall now tailless, still blooding from where his tail once was.
"What now Cell?" 17 asked. "It's only a matter of time before you ble-"
Cell grunted as his namekien cells kicked in making a new tail.
"Tch" 18 was annoyed. "Reminds me of Piccolo." She remembered ripping his arm off.
"You have no idea." Cell stated as he spread his arms apart. "My turn."
Now he was ready to see what he can do after all his absorptions.
He tapped into his absorptions ready to unleash his varied arsenal.
Cell aimed a hand forward firing a small green energy ball.
"Pfft" 17 scoffed seeing the puny ball head towards them. "What's that supposed to-"
The Android applied more power to the small dot feeding more energy into it, turning it into a giant sphere of energy.
"Oh" 17 was suprised to see the attack headed for them.
The twins spread their arms apart just before the attack seemed to hit them.
Cell grinned looking at the smoke, Broly was a simpleton, but even he had some clever techniques.
17 and 18 floated showing a force field they both activated at the same time.
When the smoke cleared they see that Cell was nowhere to be found.
"Idiot" 18 said as she and her brother side stepped.
Cell appeared above them and tried to slam his arms down where they were.
17 swept kicked Cell's legs and 18 chopped at his neck.
Cell was forced off his feet.
17 kicked up his back while 18 flew up.
As Cell was sent up he was kicked in his abdomen by the deadly beauty who had her hands up.
The sister fired down.
And the brother fired up.
Their blasts were about to connect with Cell in between.
At the last moment Cell smiled as his body seemed to vanish, but not from disintegrating, but into a familiar mist.
A gigantic golden light shined across the empty city, the buildings around starting crumbling.
17 and 18 grinned seeing no body of the Android.
Now to take care of their backstabbers.
But just as they were about to go after 21 and Towa, a body formed behind 17.
"Why are you smiling?"
17 turned and threw a fist.
But Cell kicked up 17's chin sending him upward.
"17?!" She watched her brother headed upwards.
Cell formed behind her as well with his arms back. "Go check on him!" He slammed his hands on her back.
Both brother and sister slammed into each other with enough force to cause the city around them to shake as though their was an earthquake.
The twins floated while holding on to their sides and looking up at their foe.
But he wasn't to be seen.
"How is he doing that?" 18 asked. "We can sense power levels now, and I know's not that much ahead of us how is he blitzing us?"
"I don't know! Find him!" 17 demanded looking around.
Little did they know Cell was exploiting an ability he had taken from Hirudegarn and taking advantage of their lack of knowledge of it, with this he can slip by them unseen.
Cell reformed behind them.
As the Androids turned to see him, they were met by having their necks slammed by his arms.
Cell seemed to be taking a note from Broly and was lariating both Androids, he flew with his arms on their necks, he smashed through multiple buildings before hitting the ground forming a massive crater.
The bio Android stood up staring down at them. "That fool Broly has more influence than I thought. Too much influence for my taste." That oaf had such an unsophisticated fighting style. Looking down he can see both Androids were on the ground with their eyes closed. "Still it's effective." He rose his black tail and it opened similar to Hirudegarn releasing red webs, no doubt intend on pulling both androids into himself.
But 17 and 18 opened their eyes and fired a combined energy blast at Cell.
It was enough to force Cell to be pushed back. As soon as the blast stopped he looked to see that the Androids had vanished, he floated above the simulated city and frowned. They're hiding, looks like he'll need to work harder for his food, fine by him.
17 and 18 were inside a parking lot building.
"Damn it, he almost had us." 18 demanded. "What do we do now?"
"Calm down." 17 said to her. "Look, that thing, whatever it is, it's not like us, he has limited energy, he can't detect us, all we have to do is hit and run, we'll drain his energy bit by bit."
18 smiled back at him. "Right and when he's out of gas we put him down!"
"Right, now come on, we'll wait for an opening and then attack him."
Cell was flying above the city searching over the buildings. He had a feeling what they were trying and he had just the trick to counter.
With a grin he spread his fingers and waited.
From the top of a building behind him 17 dashed downward with a kick towards him.
Cell's finger twitched, he grinned and turned to grab his leg.
"Wh-what!" 17 was confused as he knew that he couldn't have been seen.
His fingers on his other hand twiched.
He turned to deflect a Power Blitz to the side exploding destroying half the city.
18's eyes widened, she had shot as soon as 17's leg was gripped how did he find out?
The Android tossed 17 to his sister.
"17!" She yelled as she caught her brother.
"You two cannot hide from me."
The siblings stared up at Cell as he descended in front of them.
"How?" 17 asked as he stood up. "Don't tell me you can sense our power to?"
Cell grinned at them and held up his hands.
Purple threads showed to spread all over the city from his finger tips.
"Psycho Threads, a power that can deplete Ki, useless on Androids like you, but I can tell where you are when you pull on one of my threads." Cell explained. "Bojack's technique is really something, of course it takes someone like me to use it to its full potential."
17 and 18 recognized that technique, they had seen it when they were watching the battles Trunks had gone through before they had attacked. Just how many monsters did this thing take into itself?
"Speaking of full potential, allow me to show you ours, just come, surrender and accept that you will live on through me." Cell walked forward. "I owe Trunks even more than you do, so promise that I will have enough fun with him for the three of us."
17 screamed as he raced towards him while his sister stayed behind.
18 fired multiple Ki blasts at Cell with her Infinity Bullet.
Cell had to deflect these powerful energy blasts while her brother got close.
The male Android threw a fist and this time it was surrounded by a barrier.
Able to see it coming the Android tilted his head.
He then threw a back hand.
17 ducked underneath and backflipped.
Cell looked at the Android's barrier fist.
"A force field surrounded punch? You must have taken that idea from the 17 of Trunks's timeline, you couldn't be that clever on your own."
17 growled. "I am the greatest Android, the greatest 17 of every timeline!"
Cell smiled and felt his right finger twitch. "I promise to find out if that's the case what's your within me." He rose a fist blocking a punch from 18, he then threw a kick.
And the Android jumped back and stepped beside him.
Both 17 and 18 were damaged, but they knew that their win is inevitable. All they have to do is avoid anymore damage and victory will be there's.
Cell felt his energy dwindle, he was impressed, these two were absurdly strong, they were not that much weaker from them. If this continued he may end up destroyed, the only reason he was winning was due to a skill gap. Though he already had a trick in mind to test out to finish them.
"Now let's put an end to this, Dr. Gero is waiting to see my new form."
17 and 18 jumped back and landed on top of a building behind them.
They stood back to back.
"Shut up!" 17 yelled.
"And die!" 18 fired their combined energy blast.
Cell smiled as the combined blast was about to make contact his body began to change to mist.
An explosion was formed and all that could be seen was mist that anyone can mistake for smoke.
The Androids grinned before turning to Towa.
"So who wants a tombstone first?" 17 asked.
She only smiled as she looked at them. "You really are children."
Before the androids could retort the mist was surrounding them.
"Ugh gross, I don't want any of what's left of him on my clothes."
Before the twins can move the mist around them seemed to let out a chuckle.
"Worry not 18 it will be over soon."
The siblings were shocked by that familiar voice.
Both Androids were struck at the same time by identical fists in between them without seeing Cell's body.
And then multiple punches struck all over 17 and 18 in different directions, some seemed to be happening at the same time.
"Oh?" 21 looked intrigued. "Do you see what I see Towa?"
"Yes" She looked at the mist around 17 and 18. "The mist is forming multiple arms and legs of Cell to strike the two all over their bodies all at once, they didn't think of leaving the mist since they weren't aware that was how he seemed much faster than them."
It was now basically all over.
All over both Androids at once many different strikes were happening. Punches, chops, palm strikes, spear hands, body kicks, straight kicks, spin kicks, all at once. And every strike was calculated aiming for every vital point in their body.
It finally stopped and the mist started forming opposite of the pair.
17 and 18 were on their knees covered in so many cuts and bruises, their bones were broken, clearly unable to stand any longer. "H-how, w-where did all that come from?"
18 fought to stay conscious and yelled. "You coward, where are you hiding!"
There were so many attacks, too many to counter.
They couldn't even tell where he came from as it felt like many strikes were happening at the same time, even though it was impossible.
Both could swear they felt kicks in their throat at the same time as a punch at their back. That was impossible for one creature alone.
The mist took shape and finally Cell had appeared.
"Hehehe, and finally, Hirudegarn." Cell mentioned the name of his lost absorbed victim. "That creature never understood what he had, he only ever used his mist ability for escaping attacks before reforming and attacking, in my hands, I can turn it into an effective weapon."
He wondered what other techniques he can try with all these abilities.
"Now then, I believe it's over." Cell said as he walked over to them.
Neither Android seemed able to move, that last assault broke their bones.
"W-wait!" 17 yelled. "You can't, y-you have to fight us in our Super forms."
Cell stopped as though he were pondering this.
"That's right!" 18 yelled knowing that this was their best chance. "We need to be at full power, if you can beat us and absorb us then you'd be unstoppable."
It felt pathetic doing this, but what choice do they have. If they can convince him to wait they can properly take him out.
"While I am tempted, I'm afraid that would take too long and besides" He grinned. "I feel as though that power will be mine soon enough."
Both 17 and 18 tried to move, they couldn't.
"Wait, stop!" 17 yelled.
"Don't you dare!" 18 threatened.
17 and 18 looked up and were shocked as the monster's tail was over their heads.
"Now come!" Cell commanded as the tail expanded and began to swallow both of them.
The twins kicked and screamed as they kept trying to escape but to no avail.
Cell had felt like he waited for this for decades. This was it finally he would be comeplete!
"Hahahaha!" Cell laughed as his body expanded, he can feel the rush it was finally done
The remaining Androids and Towa watched as Cell began to change.
When the change was comeplete Cell's eyes opened showing a purple pupil with white sclera instead of black like Hirudegarn's.
"Now I am ready."
All timelines will know terror beyond imagination.
Alright this is it, the next chapter the battle will start.
Hopefully Trunks will have used the gun for the obvious form I've been hinting at as well as Lapis and Lazuli obtaining their own Super forms.
And while Cell is the main threat, remember he's not alone.
Hope you guys will join me to see the final conflict.
Thank you for coming this far.

SuperSaiyajin4Vegeta: The healing is mainly used to help the body get used to the form, and from what we've seen it doesn't seem to use much energy of the healer. So what she's doing is slowing the form's downsides down, thus helping her master the form and after her last year in the time chamber, she may actually not need to heal herself anymore, since she now has to grow accostum to Zangya's technique. Although I will admit maybe it wouldn't work in canon, since Goku didn't keep senzu beans or have a healer on standby when he was Super saiyan 3, if only he learned healing on yardrat it would've answered that question.
Pgv03: Happy you did, I was looking forward to writing Vegeta meeting his grandkids.
Now he has a powered up 17 and 18 so who knows?
Yes, which is why she's still training, she's hoping to make it more selective instead of draining everyone around her.
Thought it'd be nice to have them show off since their usually a bit behind in my story.
There's going to be a lot of interaction with the villains/forced fighters on the Androids side I think you'll like it.
Thank you hope you enjoyed this one two.
shadowriter01: Yeah, I think maybe I could've done a better job, but now you know that Tarbel and Zangya or more unique compared to other Androids, each of them are tailored to their species making them not just the normal androids we're used to.
Yep, Towa has precautions in place should anything happen, she knows better than anyone not to trust them, plus Beerus keeps her valuable and a reason to keep her alive.
Alright guys, next chapter is going to start the final battle, I hope to make it as good as Fusion War, my favorite chapter to write.
And of course I hope you'll enjoy it to.
