A\N All I have to say, is that the site was being weird, and I hope that publishing this one will fix it.
The Zero Temple
When the light receded, Frieza saw himself standing outside the zero temple. He saw his friends standing several feet away from him. "Finally," Frieza thought. "I'm out."
Ais turned and saw him, and her eyes lit up. "There he is!" They all turned to look at him, with a look of relief on their faces.
As they rushed over to him, the relief of him making it out of his prison suddenly evaporated. To be replaced with guilt that weighed as much as a planet. He fell to his knee. It was suffocating how it seemed to fill his chest to the point of bursting, while feeling like a gravity stronger than a star was pulling him into himself. "Why? Why must I feel this?" He then felt guilt for even asking that question. "I'm feeling this because not even death is enough to pay for what I have done."
Ais saw Frieza's expression and instantly knew, something was wrong. "What did they do to you?"
Frieza thought for a moment. "How long is a year on the galactic Calander?"
"Three-hundred-sixty-five days that last twenty-four something hours." She answered. "And strangely also the exact amount of time as Earth."
In that moment, he felt his guilt become a thousand times heavier. "Well, my punishment for what I have done was that every night, I had to experience the last moments of a thousand of my victims."
Ais just looked at him in horror, along with the rest of them. She knew about all the things he had done and always wished he would change. But she wished that he could overcome it on his own.
"Excuse me sire," Veture said. "What do you mean, you had only been in there for fifteen minutes before we appeared out here."
"Thats right," Frieza said, hoping that he would somehow drown in his guilt. "They said that you would be unaware of the time that passed. But to me and the rest of the universe, a whole year has passed."
Veture and Polarri both looked astounded by this revelation. Ais however, was fixated on Frieza. "How could they do that to him? I would never wish that on anyone."
But then her other voice spoke. "Really? than what about his brother Cooler?"
"Of course not." Even her thought didn't sound reassuring.
"Well than, what if you had just met Frieza in person, would you still feel sorry?"
She found she didn't like the answer to her question.
"And you know what the worst part is?" Frieza choked, tears in his eyes. "Three-hundred-sixty-five-thousand visions. And no two were the same. And I know that, that is just a small fraction of the people I decided to kill in person."
Ais was trying her hardest not to think so, but she knew on some level, he deserved this.
"All those people, all those planets, I should be DEAD!" He said, punching the ground as he shouted the last word. As he punched the ground, cracks spiderwebbed for ten feet in all directions, narrowly stopping before the Zero Temple.
"Sire-" Veture began.
"Don't call me that!" Frieza shouted. Then after he calmed down a bit. . . "Just call me Frieza." He said. Out of context you would think he was talking to the ground, his head was so low. And though he tried to cover it up a little bit in the effort to speak at all, what with his vocal cords constricted, you could still hear the pain and regret in his voice.
Ais looked at his bio-gems, they were as shiny as ever, but they were so dark they were almost black. "He's lucky he is still sane."
"Sorry, si- I mean Frieza. I just looked at the ships current course through my scouter, something I've been working on, and it says that we are supposed to go to a planet that has uncanny resemblance to Namek."
"Namek?" Polarri spoke at last. "How so?"
"Same mineral composition, similar sizing, same gravity, similar fauna, animal life, oh and the climate-"
"Okay, okay I get it." But then she thought for a moment. "Wait, why is it saying to go there?"
"Because of my brother." Frieza said.
"But Cooler is dead. you know that."
"Not according to the counsel or whatever they call themselves."
Ais without thinking, put her hand on his shoulder. he twitched at the touch, but didn't say anything. "Come on Frieza," She said, remembering his order to just call him by his name. "Let's go see your brother."

On a cliff by South City
Goku, Piccolo, Krillin, Yamcha, Yajirobe, Gohan, Bulma, and her and apparently Vegeta's son, Trunks, were standing on a cliff with South City stretching out before them, lying in wait for the androids.
"Hey Piccolo!" Goku said cheerily. "I noticed that you went to see Kami last week, I thought you two didn't like each other."
"Well, what can I say to that besides we didn't until I went up there."
"Well, what happened?"
"Let's just say I had something on my mind, and I thought Kami could fix it. And he did."
"Hee hee hee!" Goku laughed. "I'm glad you two are friends now."
"I wouldn't say that, but Kami really helped me out. He's actually not bad." Piccolo's ears pricked as he heard a sneeze from the lookout. He smiled.
"Well, one thing for sure if I had someone who was the same person as me, we would be best friends. I mean, take me and Vegeta for instance, we are friends just because we are the same race."
Piccolo's smile faded, he knew what went down on Namek. Vegeta had begged Goku to kill Frieza, to avenge him and their race. But Goku spared him. Piccolo was sure that it would take a lot more than being the last of their kind for him to at least stop hating him. "Honestly I don't blame him, Goku ignored his last request. I'm sure he had his reasons, but Vegeta would hate him no matter what they were." He then realized by Goku's continued gaze, that he was expecting a reply. "Tell that to Vegeta." He said simply.
Goku looked confused for a second, then realized they were down a man. "Where's Tien?" He asked.
Krillin opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by Piccolo taking a sneeze of his own. "Sorry, you can blame Kami for that one. I swear he did that on purpose." He smiled again. "Then again. . ."
"As I was saying," He said glancing at Piccolo. "Tien is trying to perfect the Kaioken, he said that he is fine-tuning the levels now."
Goku punched his other hand at his chest. "Well, more android for the rest of us."
As if speaking of them was a summoning, South City downtown exploded, shocking the Z warriors because they didn't feel any of their energy. But they soon decided that it was because they were androids and set out to search for them.

Time skip: thirty minutes: Gizzard Wasteland
Goku was panting as he stared at android 19, struggling to even stay airborne.
"What is happening with Goku?!" Krillin asked with a shout.
"I don't kn-!" Piccolo gasped as he realized what it was. "The heart virus!"
"You mean Goku hasn't taken it yet?"
Gohan shook his head. "He wasn't showing any symptoms."
"Until now apparently!"
As if talking about it caused it to get worse, Goku reverted to his base form and fell to the ground.
Suddenly everyone's power sense was filled by the arrival of someone familiar. . .
"It's Vegeta!" Judging from where he was when they sensed him, he had suppressed his power until he exited the ship. And as if speaking his name summoned him, he suddenly appeared next to where Goku had fallen.
Vegeta stared at him with a look of pure hatred. "Stupid idiot. Why didn't you take into account that going Super Saiyan might speed the spreading of the disease?" He looked back at the group. "Take him to a place where he can recover. I want him to be at his full power when I kill him." He turned to android 19. "Tell me, are androids like yourself capable of experiencing fear?"
"Be careful! they can drain energy with their hands!" Yamcha shouted as he was leaving.
19 Just smiled and turned to 20. "20, let me be the one to deal with Vegeta."
"Are you serious? Your energy is already three times as much as it was before, and you want Vegeta too?"
19 nodded.
"Fine, but I will take the rest of them you greedy pig."
19 turned to Vegeta and got into a fighting stance.
Vegeta smirked. "Time to show you the power I have gained in my training."
Everyone was shocked. Even 19 and 20 looked interested.
"I've kept my power level at what I assume it would be if I went through Kakarot's training. Time to take the gloves off. HAAA!" He shouted as he was engulfed in a blue aura. He wasted no time as he rushed 19, who sidestepped. But Vegeta wanted this. He twirled around and met his adversary's eyes and kicked him in said eyes. But 19 blocked, which proved to be useless as Vegeta retracted the grabbed leg and kicked out his other one, connecting at his would-be stomach. 19 gave him a punch in the gut, but Vegeta took minor damage. He got free, kicked 19 to the ground and bombarded him with energy blasts. 19 missed his chance to absorb them as they crashed into his frame. Vegeta took to the sky, but 19 met him there.
"It appears that Vegeta has much more power than Goku. Time to use full power." Vegeta was slammed to the ground in an attack that he didn't see coming.
He righted himself and turned to face the android who had appeared behind him. "Time to show you everything I have to offer; you should be honored." He was consumed by a golden light and when it subsided had golden hair.
"Vegeta is a Super Saiyan!" Krillin shouted.
Vegeta smiled. He appeared behind the android and sent him flying with a spinning kick to the back of the head. Vegeta not letting up continued to pound him as they shot across the wasteland. He was laughing the entire time as he made several course corrections to his new ping pong ball. He grabbed him by the legs and flung him into the huge surrounding rocks. When he came out, Vegeta was waiting for him. He gave him an axe kick and sent him down to the ground, only he landed on his fist instead. 19 flopped down like a limp noodle. Vegeta noticed that 19 never groaned from the pain. Well, if Vegeta can't enjoy it then he would end it.
19 lied there for a moment, but then he stuck his hand at Vegeta, who grabbed his wrist. "So, I assume that the way you are able to drain energy is because of this orb on your palm." 19 shot out his other hand, leading to the same result. "I guess I will have to get rid of them." Without another word, Vegeta Shot up 19's hands and let go, he then cut them off with a chop along both wrists, his hand cleaving through his wrist like a warm knife through butter. 19 started whimpering pathetically in fear as oil spewed from his veins instead of blood. "I guess you can feel fear." 19 started running and stumbling away. Vegeta rose up off the ground and started forming a blue ball of ki in his palm. "Big Bang, Attack!" he shouted as he fired the ball.
20 could only watch as his partner was consumed by a massive explosion.
Vegeta turned to 20. "Your turn."
20 looked at Vegeta. "There's no way I can beat him. But maybe. . ." It was risky, but he didn't have a choice.
Just now, Trunks from the future entered the equation. "Who are you!?" He said to 20.
"What do you mean?" Vegeta scoffed at Trunks arrival, honestly it was as if the universe wanted the other Super Saiyans to ruin his fun. "He's an android obviously."
"I have never seen that android in my life."
Just now, Bulma was flying overhead in a CC plane. Then she saw 20. . . "Dr. Gero. . ."
20 saw the plane. That was the perfect opportunity to escape. He formed an energy blast in his palm. "Mark my words. Androids 17 and 18 will destroy you all!" He threw the energy blast at the plane.
"No!" Trunks shouted as he became a Super Saiyan. He appeared in between the blast and the plane, drew his sword, and cut it in half so they exploded before impact.
Vegeta silently thanked the boy from the future, for saving her. He would never admit it, but he knew that he truly loved her. Wait a minute! He turned to find 20 gone. "Damn it!"

Time skip: one hour: on the highway by Dr. Gero's lab
Androids 16, 17, and 18 were walking along the highway. Thanks to 17 Dr. Gero was dead. Making them free androids.
"So," 17 spoke up. "What do you want to do?"
"I really don't care." 18 replied.
"Well, that's no fun." He thought for a moment. "What about you 16?"
"My only goal is my original mission," 16 said in a deep monotone. "To kill Goku."
"Well seeing as how we don't have any other ideas, 18." He said glancing at 18 when he said her name. "Let's do that."
"Fine," 18 said. "As long as we can stop at a town first. Why didn't you just obliterate him? It would have stopped him from bleeding oil on my clothes."
"You know 18, I think you should make that sound a little more heartless."
Vegeta landed in front of the androids. "How dare you ignore me!" He shouted.
"Oh look," 18 said in an annoyed tone. "It's Vegeta. And as for why we ignored you, you should have counted it as a blessing. Now I have to humiliate you."
"You hear that 16?" 17 said smirking. "That's how you claim someone without a debate. I think you should have a go, that way we can see if you are up to snuff for taking Goku out."
"Negative. I will fight only Goku."
"Well, there goes that idea." Then Piccolo, Krillin, and Trunks landed behind them. "Well, well, well, I guess I take these then."
Vegeta charged at 18 not even considering the others who had so foolishly followed him. 18 opened with a barrage of ki blasts. Vegeta dodged and weaved in between them as he made his way to her. With one hand she fired three compressed energy beams that spread out making a tunnel with Vegeta inside. With her other hand, she made a huge ball of energy and shot it into the tunnel. Vegeta prepared a Big Bang Attack and turned its destructive power at her while keeping it in his hand. the two blasts canceled each other out, the explosion ripping the tunnel for a brief moment. Which Vegeta used to exit. She prepared another blast and waited for the dust to clear before she fired. But before it did so Vegeta gave her a kick to the spine. the tunnel went down, and her blast went wide.
Meanwhile, 17 was fighting all the rest of them at once. Krillin charged him at 40x Kaioken, 17 blocked the first few blows. and made several barriers and made them slam into him all at once. Piccolo fired a 10% special Beam Cannon. Which 17 just jabbed and the shockwave stopped Trunk's sword giving 17 a chance to plant his foot in his chest. Krillin appeared behind 17 at 45x Kaioken. and gave 17 a kick to his kidney. 17 quickly recovered and gave Krillin a roundhouse kick. Piccolo unleashed a wave of energy from his palm while he extended his arms around 17's most likely route of retaliation. 17 stabbed the energy with his fingers and prepared for and attack of his own. But Piccolo grabbed his leg and threw him at Trunks, who fired a slash of energy he had imbued his sword with. 17 was hit on the leg and made a scratch. Now agitated, 17 broke free and grabbed Piccolo's arm and yanked him toward him. 17 gave Piccolo a punch to the gut, sidestepped a blow from Krillin, and punched Trunks into Krillin, who collided with Piccolo.
Back over by Vegeta and 18, Vegeta was fighting by Launching various quantities of Ki blasts and seeing how she would react. 18 Usually slapped them aside, and countered them with an energy stream. Vegeta seemed satisfied after a while. He fired a Ki blast at her legs and started moving while charging another blast. 18 jumped over the blast and was about to fire the stream, but Vegeta grabbed the hand that was charging and slammed the blast into her face. She righted herslef before she slammed into the ground. She turned and gave a roundhouse kick to Vegeta who had just appeared behind her. Vegeta was hit in the face but he p[ulled her along with him, and they exchanged blows midair. "This power is amazing!" Vegeta thought. 18 fired another tunnel but closed it with him inside. Vegeta groaned in pain but quickly righted himself. "I guess playtime is over." He growled
"I couldn't agree more." She said without moving anything but her mouth.
17 was definitely having fun. He punched Piccolo but got a minor scratch from Trunks. He would have broken his sword, but Krillin chose that moment to unleash a 45x Kaioken Kamehameha. 17 just smirked and held the incoming blast with one hand. the Kamehameha went on for thirty seconds before he stopped, a risky move on Krillin's part. Krillin ducked under 17's charge, and Trunks hit him with a burning attack that was angled in a way that 17 would act as a shield for Krillin. 17 slapped Krillin aside and charged Trunks. Trunks managed to block one blow but was hit with a kick to the ribs. then 17 saw Piccolo charging a Special Beam Cannon. And judging by his sensors, it was at 68%. "Hm, amateur." But Krillin hit him with a solar flare. He was only blinded while the light was up, but as soon as it subsided, 17 saw the Beam Cannon which was at 70% rocketing toward him. 17 fired a full-power energy wave at him. "Maybe I got a little too cocky on this one!" But eventually the Special Beam Cannon gave out and Piccolo's arm was burned off.
"Not again!" He shouted before 17 punched him in the gut. Piccolo coughed blood onto the ground and passed out.
It was clear that Vegeta was stronger. 18 would make a move, Vegeta would sidestep and give her a kick, punch, energy blast, ECT. Vegeta powered up a Galic Gun. 18 instantly fired a stream in the hope that he wouldn't be able to charge enough. But despite her efforts he got the Galick Gun up to 83% and was pushing her blast back. 18 started putting all her power into the blast. The two blasts looked to be so horizontal it seemed fake. But the shockwaves from the energy spikes from the two were very real. Vegeta was Putting all his power into the blast. And 18 knew it. "He assumes that this is my last gambit as well, and he will regret his mistake."
"I don't understand!" Vegeta thought. "How can she still be going?! I'm just about on empty and she should have run out of energy long before this!" But alas, Vegeta ran out of power. But instead of continuing 18 went up and slammed him into the ground.
Piccolo was down, Krillin was running on nothing, which made Trunks the most valuable fighter on his side. He called all of his power into his sword, something he started only thirty minutes ago, as such it only increased damage. He could swing it, and it would cut things far away, but that's about it. Trunks called all reserves and told Krillin the plan. He charged 17, who dodged and kicked him in the arm. He groaned from the pain; the androids of his timeline were nowhere near this strong. Trunks punched, 17 jumped over. Trunks slashed, 17 jumped back but was hit by the energy slash. his arm started bleeding quite a lot. Didn't really matter, he was an android, he would heal faster. Only having one arm, Trunks seemed on parr with 17. But Trunks' energy was fading fast. As a last resort, he feigned an opening and slashed his other arm and used the last of his energy to blast 17 over to where Krillin was redlining with a x50 Kamehameha. "Eat Kamehameha!" 17 was engulfed in the blue ki. But when it subsided. . . "No, i-it can't be!"
17 put up a barrier just before impact. "Well, you guys were fun. let's do this again sometime!" He flashed in front of Trunks and kicked him to the ground. He then turned to Krillin. "You should use those beans. Your friends are going to die if you don't."
18 Flew up to join them. "Can we take this to the ground? He should be closer to his friends while you do your thing."
They all landed over where 16 looked was, he looked sad. "There were birds, you were to loud, so they got scared."
"Wow, I didn't know you had a thing for animals."
18 walked over to Krillin. "Later." She gave him a kiss on the top of the head and continued down the road, 16 and 17 in tow.
Krillin was flabbergasted. He shook it off, he had to save his friends. But even as he gave them the beans, he couldn't get 18 out of his head.
Piccolo was first, since he was taken down first. He then gave himself one. He took care of Trunks, who gave the last one to Vegeta.
Vegeta got up, really, really annoyed. "Even with this power, I still don't have what it takes?"
"No," Trunks said. "In terms of power you were stronger, you were also faster."
"So what's your point damn it?!"
"The reason, the only reason you lost is because the androids have an unlimited energy supply."
"Well why didn't you say that sooner! Who the hell are you anyway."
"Well," He said looking down. "I guess it won't make any difference now." He met Vegeta's eyes. "My name is Trunks."
"Well, that's strange. My son has tha-!" Realization hit him like a lightning bolt. "Trunks!"
"Yes, father."
The realization soon meant nothing to him. To be replaced by the rage of losing to a tin can! Without saying anything, he flew off from the scene.

Time skip: thirty minutes: The chain of islands where Kame house is
They were in a CC plane and were transporting the Son family over to Kame house.
"Hey Trunks," Krillin said nervously. "Just how much stronger are these androids than the ones from your time?"
"Far stronger." He replied grimly. "I was only a little bit weaker than one of them in my time, it was the fact that they fight without honor that makes them so powerful."
Krillin swallowed a pint of saliva at this.
"But if I'm being honest, honor can go to hell!" He said shouting the last part. "My time has become so shattered, so broken, that I don't care how they die! As long as it is by my hand, all will be avenged!" Tears began to stream down his face. "Father, Tien, Yamcha, Chichi, and Gohan. . . I don't care if it is the last thing I do, I will destroy those androids!"
Just then, Bulma called. Saying that there was a second time machine. So Trunks and Gohan jumped out of the plane, and went over to where Bulma was talking about.

Time skip: fifteen minutes: Ginger Town
Piccolo landed in Ginger Town expecting a panic. But there was nothing, literally. It was as if all the people in the town just disappeared. "I shouldn't let my guard down though, Kami acted like this was somehow worse than the androids. If it is. . . "
Suddenly he heard movement behind him, he turned around to see a strange green alien-looking thing. And he was holding a person in a very expensive-looking suit. "Get me away from this thing!" He reached into his coat, and pulled out a thick stack of Zeni. "Here, if you get me away from this guy I'll give you a million Zeni!"
Piccolo ignored him. "Put him down, as little as it is, his life still has value."
"Yes," Said the insectoid. "But not as you believe it." He dropped him, but just as he started crawling away, the mutant stabbed him with the stinger on his tail.
Piccolo watched as the monster started drinking the man through his tail. The bones, liquified. Organs, sucked up. Blood, drained. And he watched as the monster slurped up the puddle of flesh that was left over, until there was no sign that he existed except for his suit and Zeni.
"You monster!" Piccolo said as he looked at the man's remains, or lack thereof.
"I think mutant fits more." He powered up revealing a power just barely stronger than Vegeta. No, it was Vegeta's power. Along with Goku's, Krillin's, Tien's, Yamcha's, and even Piccolo's. King Cold's energy was in there too, but one thing Piccolo just didn't understand, was Frieza's energy.
"How?"
"You don't need to know."
Piccolo got into a fighting stance. "Well, I was hoping to at least know the name of who I'm fighting." He said hopefully.
The monster smiled. "Life's full of disappointments."
Piccolo charged at him and aimed a kick at the ribs, he countered with a punch to the gut. The two stood there grabbing at each other's fists in a desperate attempt to gain ground against one another. The monster let go and slapped him down with his tail, he righted himself and looked up to where he was in a familiar stance. Piccolo gasped as he realized what was coming. The monster used a technique that was the splitting image of the Special Beam Cannon. The monster looked at the dust cloud with joy. But Piccolo appeared behind him and used an axe kick, which he grabbed and threw him away.
"That's my move." Piccolo said irritably. The mutant fired a volley of ki blasts. Piccolo held his right hand back, orange sparks along his hand. as soon as the blasts got in range, he fired a wide burst of energy that carried for seven feet. Piccolo was seemingly on parr with this threat. "Good, if I cancel out his power, then the rest of us can join in and defeat him." Interrupting his thought process, the mutant came from behind. Piccolo gave him a roundhouse kick, which he ducked under and gave the Namekian a right hook to the cheek. Piccolo grabbed his wrist and threw him away. The monster stuck out his arm allowing him to rotate back onto his feet, but he flipped again and when he landed, he had a destructo-disk in each hand. with the disks in hand, he charged him. Piccolo fired a volley of blasts of his own, but the mutant used the sharp part of the disks to cut them in half. When he was twenty feet away, he threw the one in his left hand. Piccolo sidestepped and punched it in the center, causing it to spin out of control and detonate right as he gave him a deep cut to the leg with the other one. Piccolo then grabbed the saw by the smooth part and threw it into the air, simultaneously kicking him in the chest with his other leg. Taking to the sky, so he didn't have to risk standing on the injured leg, and not daring to heal it as that might endanger his plan, he saw a blue glow from under him.
"Kame-"
"No, it can't be!"
"Hame-"
Piccolo braced for impact.
"HAAA!" The insectoid shouted as a blue beam of light shot out of his extended hands.
Piccolo was surprised by how little energy it contained. But when it was over, the mutant came from behind him. "That's right, you got me." The mutant grabbed him, but just before the stinger hit him Piccolo moved so it hit him in the arm. "Gaaahh!" He screamed as the needle-like stinger hurt more than he had anticipated.
"Looks like you have caused me to miss my intended target." He said in a voice that would allow anyone to realize that he was not human by a long shot. "No matter, your arm, your vitals, no difference. I can drain your life energy from any point on your body."
Piccolo watched and felt as his arm started to lose its substance, color and life. It shriveled up and just before it moved to his chest, Piccolo hit the mutant's face with the back of his head, and broke free, clutching his arm. "Damn you! My arm!"
"Hahahaha." He laughed sinisterly. "Any chance you had at beating me before, are now gone."
"Well, seeing as how I'm done for anyway, you mind telling me who you are?"
"A last request? Well, I guess I won't lose anything in granting it. I am Cell. A bio-android."
"So, are you another one of Dr. Gero's creations?"
"Not exactly. Dr. Gero started gathering DNA from various beings on the planet. And by that, I mean the strongest he could find. But he didn't like how long it was going to take. Human impatience was his downfall. But the supercomputer in his lab continued my creation. We then used little spy bots to collect it all." He lifted his finger.
Piccolo focused and saw a little bug- No! A bug-bot. He fired an energy blast to destroy it.
"Hahahaha. Too late now, even if that was the last bot in existence, project Cell is too far along for you to make a difference."
"If you came from Dr. Gero's lab, how are you here? The androids destroyed it."
"Project Cell was too far along at that point. A nuclear bomb could have gone off, and the chamber would be unaffected. Of course, the androids are capable of far more, but they didn't feel the need."
"Also, you are talking about project Cell as if it is happening right now."
"But it is."
"But you are right here!"
"But what if I told you that I'm from the future?"
Piccolo was speechless.
"Now that I have your attention, about twenty years from now I go out into the world and find that the androids have disappeared without a trace. But someone up there likes me, so I found a time machine. Trunks' of course, but after I killed him, it was mine."
"Last question."
"Fire away."
"You could go to any age, so why now?"
"Well, the fact is I didn't fit into the time machine. So I set the time back four years and reverted into my egg. But as for why I chose this age as my target, it was because of the androids."
"Why are you so obsessed with them?"
"Because of my perfect form."
"What do you mean?"
"when Dr. Gero built the androids, he didn't exactly forget about me. So, he thought that should the androids betray him, I would absorb them and achieve my perfect form! After which I would proceed to make short work of you guys."
"Last question, for real this time."
"Go on."
"Is your perfect form really that much stronger than how you are now?"
"The true answer to that is greater than words can describe. But suffice it to say, yes."
"Well than, its a shame you won't get it."
"Hahahaha. Fear is making you delusional."
