408Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be seeing the others learning about Krillin's death and the reveal of their more androids, along with the battle between Naruto, Lazuli, Lapis, and Gebo against 13, 14, and 15. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
It wasn't long, until Trunks arrived at Kame House, seeing everyone else was already gathered there, after Piccolo told them about Cell. With their moods only growing more solemn, when Trunks told them about Krillin's death, along with the fact that there are three more androids.
Everyone was either saddened or distraught over Krillin's death. With it only being worse, since they no longer had Dragon Balls to revive him, nor did they know where New Namek was, to use their Dragon Balls.
"How are we going to tell Goku?" Piccolo asked, while looking around, with no one having an answer, since they all knew how close the two fighters were, and all of them knew that Goku would take it harder than all of them.
"I already know." Said Goku, exiting Kame House, with a crying Chichi following behind him, with a solemn expression and tone in his voice.
While he had wanted to deny that his vision of Krillin's death was real, after he woke up and couldn't sense his friend's Ki anymore, Goku knew he was really gone.
"Dad!" Gohan said, while running over to his father, relieved to see he was alright, with Goku smiling at Gohan, glad to see him alright, as well.
"Guys, not that I'm trying to make things worse than they already are, but what're we going to do now? We now have ten androids that are likely after us, one that can't die, and another that can absorb people to grow stronger. That's not even counting what these three new ones are capable of." Yamcha said, knowing it was tough with just Androids 16, 17, 18, and 22 around, now they had Cell, along with Androids 13, 14, and 15.
It just seemed like they were in an impossible situation, even more so, without the Dragon Balls to help them.
"We still have time, before they can come after us. Androids 13, 14, and 15 are going after 16, 17, 18, and 22, at the moment. We can let the androids fight amongst each other, hopefully one side taking out the other, while we train to deal with the ones left." Goku said, surprising some of them, with all of them knowing how much Goku enjoyed a challenge.
Now to hear him say they should let the androids fight each other, and deal with the ones left, it only reinforced how serious the situation was.
"Goku, while I'm all for getting stronger to take out the androids. We don't have the time needed to get that strong." Said Trunks, knowing it won't be long, until the androids fight each other, while whoever's left standing comes after them, next.
"You're talking about the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, aren't you." Piccolo stated, realizing where Goku was going with the idea, with the Saiyan nodding at his words, with the others being confused at what the Time Chamber was.
"Yeah. The Hyperbolic Time Chamber is a room on The Lookout, that only two people can enter at a time. Once inside, a person could train for an entire year, while only a day would pass outside." Goku explained, much to everyone's amazement at such a room existing.
"Though don't think this is all good. The room is just a giant white void, with no one end. Going inside it alone, could drive someone mad. There's also a two year limit, or two days out here, and if you go over the limit, you'll be trapped inside, forever, with no way out." Warned Goku, with everyone paling at this information, but figured there was likely a catch to such a room.
"Okay, so who'll be going into the Time Chamber?" Trunks asked.
"You, me, Gohan, and Piccolo will be going to The Lookout to enter the chamber. We'll also find Vegeta, and bring him along, as well." Replied Goku, knowing they needed all the help they could get.
"What?! Goku you aren't thinking of actually letting Gohan fight?!" Chichi demanded, not wanting her son to fight either the androids, or Cell, having never wanted Gohan to learn to fight to begin with.
It didn't help, that from what Trunks told them, Gohan was killed in the future by the androids. Plus, they already lost Krillin, and Chichi didn't want to think of Gohan dying, as well.
"Chichi, Gohan needs to fight. I know you're worried about him, but he's stronger than you think, stronger than any of us think. And right now, we need all the strength we can get to fight the androids and Cell." Goku said, knowing that if Gohan didn't join them in fighting the androids, and they lost anyway, then it wouldn't matter as he'd be forced to fight, regardless.
"Mom, dad's right. I have to do this, I can't just sit back and do nothing, not if I have the power to help." Said Gohan, refusing to let the others fight the androids alone, knowing he needed to help
"I…I…alright." Chichi said, unable to think of anything to say against it, and had to accept that Gohan would be joining the fight.
"Chichi, if it makes you feel any better, once Cell and the androids are dealt with. Gohan can stop fighting, and focus on his studies as a scholar." Goku said, while pulling his wife into a comforting hug, after seeing how distraught Chichi looked.
"Thank you, Goku." Chichi muttered, while tightening the embrace with her husband.
"While you guys are doing that, Yamcha and I will stay here to hold down the fort." Tien said, with Yamcha nodding in agreement.
"Yeah, if the androids or that Cell guy show up, we'll stall them as long as we can." Said Yamcha.
They'll take their own turn in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, that is if they were still alive, after the others had finished their own time training inside it. But for now, they believed it'd be better if their strongest fighters went first, as they'd be the ones who had the best shot of defeating the androids.
"Alright. But guys, be careful if they show up, don't take any unnecessary risks. Because if you're attacked and killed by Cell or the androids, that's it, we don't have Dragon Balls anymore to bring anyone back." Goku said as he and Chichi broke their hug, not wanting anymore of his friends to die.
"We will, and thank you, Goku." Said Tien, as he and Yamcha nodded gratefully at his concern.
"Okay, let's get going to The Lookout, I'll Instant Transmission us there. Then go, and grab Vegeta, to bring him to The Lookout, as well." Goku said, as the ones who will enter the Time Chamber nodded, and grabbed hold of Goku, before they teleported away.
*With Androids 13, 14, and 15*
Meanwhile, the three androids flew through the air, having finally located Naruto, Lazuli, Lapis, and Gebo. Having been implanted with a means of locating them by Gero's computer, saving them time from simply flying around, hoping to find them.
"15, deal with that vehicle." 13 ordered.
"Will do. F.F. Spark Cannon!" Said 15, holding his hands in front of him, before firing off a barrage of Ki blasts at the van, causing it to blow up.
Naruto, Lazuli, Lapis, and Gebo flew out of the wreckage, protecting by Ki Barriers
"Okay, I'm gonna kill whoever did that." Lapis said, annoyed and upset that the van was destroyed, before he got a chance to drive it.
"Now ya see there, that's where you're wrong 17. The only ones dying are you four." Said 13, as he, 14 and 15 flew down to the ground.
"Oh, you have got to be kidding me." Lazuli said, while looking at three androids in disbelief.
"Who are these three?" Naruto asked, figuring they were androids, but had no records of them.
"They are Androids 13, 14, and 15. They were sealed away by Dr. Gero, after they were deemed defective." Replied Gebo, with Naruto raising a brow, as he looked at the three androids, wondering how they're defective.
"Yeah. But now we are free, and soon you shall be terminated." 14 stated, causing Lapis and Lazuli to look at him with wide eyes.
"Is he…" Said Lazuli, now wondering, just what was going through Gero's head, when he made these guys.
"Yeah. And I thought that the clown and trucker hat, over there, was supposed to be a joke." Lapis said.
"Hey now, there ain't nothin' wrong with this here trucker hat, boy. The doc thought I needed fixin', but you can't fix what ain't broke." 13 said, while smirking at the four.
"Uh, Gebo, mind explaining?" Naruto asked, completely lost at what was with these androids.
"Dr. Gero was going through a phase." Gebo said.
"Yeah, a real messed up phase. And alright, if the three stooges wanna get sent to the scrapyard, I'm more than happy to oblige. Whaddya say, partner." Stated Lapis, while smirking.
"Oh, you misunderstand, boy. I'll be dealing with 22 there, but you and the lady are more than welcome to challenge 14 here." 13 said, as 14 stepped forward.
"Fine. Gebo, will you able to handle the purple dwarf?" Asked Lazuli.
"Bitch, don't make me come over there, and kick your sorry blonde ass!" Shouted 15, before pulling out his flask, and taking a drink to calm himself down.
"Affirmative. I shall handle Android 15." Gebo said.
"Then it looks we all have our opponents." Said Naruto, smirking, before the seven androids charged their respective enemies.
When Naruto was close enough, he slammed his fist into 13's face, sending him flying off into the air, with the Saiyan Android flying after him.
13 righted himself in the air, and blocked Naruto's second punch, before slamming his leg into the Saiyans head, knocking him aside.
"T.H. Death Bomb!" 13 shouted, charging up a red Ki sphere, before launching it at Naruto, with the attacking homing in on him.
Naruto crossed his arms, and created an energy shield that blocked the majority, only to grunt in pain as the attack managed to destroy his shield and launch him back.
"Let me guess, T.H. stands for…" Naruto said, having a guess what it stood for.
"Trucker hat, yeah!" Said 13, before blitzing behind Naruto, slamming his elbow into the Saiyans back, before throwing his leg at his side.
Though Naruto managed to grab 13's leg stopping the attack, only to be surprised when 13 punched him in the face, making him lose his grip. With the android then pointing his index finger at Naruto, red Ki gathering at the tip.
"Deadly Crasher." Said 13, smirking, while firing a giant Ki beam at Naruto, that consumed the upper part of his body.
When the beam faded away, Naruto's body began regenerating. While being confused, since 13 seemed stronger than he looked, and yet he was considered defective.
"Out of curiosity, how are you so strong, if you were considered defective by Gero?" Naruto asked, as 13 chuckled wickedly.
"That's quite the kicker, now isn't it? Ya see, while the doc locked us away, he gave us quite a few upgrades, making us specially designed to take you down 22. Even with that immortality and unlimited energy of yours." 13 said, before vanishing in another burst of speed, with Naruto grunting in pain again, when the android reappeared behind him, and forcefully bent his body backwards.
"Now it'd be mighty kind of ya to hold still, as I tear you apart." Said 13, while throwing Naruto higher into the air, before launching a barrage of Ki blasts at him.
'This just got a lot harder.' Thought Naruto, grunting in pain, as the blast hit him, while his body healed itself.
*With Lapis and Lazuli*
Meanwhile the twins weren't having much better luck against 14, none of their attacks seeming to phase the android.
"Ha! I've had mosquito bites more painful, than you fools hit." 14 said, while grabbing Lapis' leg, before swinging him around, slamming him into Lazuli, before letting go sending the android crashing through a tree.
"Infinity Bullet!" Lazuli shouted, raising her hands in front of her and charging a pink swirling energy sphere, before firing several energy spheres at 14, only for the android to not move an inch from where he was standing, before he began walking towards her.
Seeing this, Lazuli began firing more blasts, hoping to at least slowdown 14, only for the bigger android to immediately grab her wrists, and headbutt her.
14 then punched Lazuli into the air, before following after her, and kneed her in the stomach. Not stopping there, 14 punched Lazuli in the back, sending the female flying to the ground, before speeding after her, and floored her as he landed on her body. Finally, 14 pulled Lazuli by the collar of her shirt, up to face level with him, then headbutted her three more times, and delivered multiple punches, before finishing the attack with a powerful punch to the jaw.
Ending with Lazuli flying through the air, before crashing into the ground, groaning in pain at attack.
"Electric Shot!" Shouted Lapis, firing off an electric pink Ki ball at 14, with the android being slowed down slightly from the electricity, as Lapis flew down and helped his sister up.
"You alright?" Asked Lapis, with Lazuli scowling, and ripped off her now destroyed vest.
"I'm pissed! Power Blitz!" Lazuli said, holding her hand back and charging a swirling pink energy sphere, before thrusting her hand, forward launching the attack at 14.
Lapis joined in, and fired his own Power Blitz at 14, with both the twins then firing rapidly blasts, hoping to destroy the other android.
After a few moments, they finally stopped and looked at the smoke, waiting to see if 14 was still standing or destroyed. Only to be shocked, when 14 walked out of the smoke with barely any injuries, with the biggest surprise being his face, which was now partially destroyed, showing the metal endoskeleton, underneath. With the twins swearing that they heard the Terminator Theme playing, as they saw him coming out of the smoke.
"Seriously…did Gero just binge watch a bunch of 80s movies, when designing these three?" Lazuli asked in disbelief.
"I swear, if he turns into liquid metal, I'm leaving." Said Lapis, refusing to deal with that kind of machine.
Suddenly, 14 appeared in front of the twins, and grabbed their heads.
"Hasta la Vista, baby!" 14 said, firing power Ki blasts at the twins, sending them flying back and crashing through several trees.
Pushing the trees off themselves, Lapis and Lazuli groaned, as they stood up to continue fighting the android.
*With Gebo*
Gebo grunted as 15 sped around him, punching and kicking the tall android, with 16 having been unable to catch the fast moving purple android.
"Come on tall man, is that best you got." 15 taunted, as he ran around.
"Rocket Punch!" Gebo said, firing his fist at 15, who went to dodge it, only for the fist to home in on him, and slam into his head, knocking the purple android off balance.
"Oh, it's on now bitch! Murder Ball!" 15 shouted, firing a white Ki ball at Gebo, with the attack exploding, when it got close to him.
Gebo managed to jump back in time to avoid most of the blast, but still had a few minor injuries. Only to be surprised, when 15 sped behind him, delivering a kick to his back, sending him into the air, with the short android kicking Gebo higher and higher into the air.
"HA!" 15 said, firing a barrage of Ki blasts at 16, who raised his arms, blocking the blasts.
"Hyper Cannon!" Said Gebo, firing three consecutive Ki blasts at 15, with the purple android once again speeding out of the way of the attacks.
Though this time, Gebo was ready, as he turned around and grabbed 15, as he reappeared behind him, before firing multiple Ki blasts at 15, sending him crashing back to the ground. With Gebo constantly launching more blasts, before 15 managed to jump out of the way.
Grunting, 15 cracked his neck and dusted off his clothes, before pulling out his flask to take another drink. Only to see his flask was now broken at the bottom and was now empty.
"Now ya see, now ya just pissed me off." Stated 15, crushing his flask in his hand, and rushed Gebo.
*With Cell*
Meanwhile, unknown to the battling androids, Cell was watching their battles from a safe distance away, from within the shadows.
Though, while Cell couldn't locate the androids by sensing their Ki, there were other means of locating them. Such as the shockwaves of their battles getting his attention, and while he couldn't sense the androids themselves, he could sense their Ki attacks, and was able to follow the signatures to the battleground.
'Hm, so that's Android 22.' Cell thought, while looking up at Naruto and 13's battle in the sky, before turning his attention back to Lapis and Lazuli, with a hungry gleam in his eyes.
Though granted, Cell won't absorb 17 and 18 now, still wanting to bide his time and grow stronger. He's just taking the opportunity to scout them out to get a feel for their fighting styles, and any potential weaknesses they may have. Especially 22, since at the moment, he's the biggest threat to Cell's goal.
Of course, if Cell saw an opening to absorb the androids, he'll take it.
But for now, he'll simply watch and wait.
*With Lapis and Lazuli*
Lapis ducked under a punch from 14, before slamming his fist into the androids stomach, and delivering an uppercut, knocking him off balance. With Lazuli following up by swinging her leg into the androids arm, only for 14 to block the kick, and grab her leg, before swinging Lazuli into her brother, knocking them both back.
"Resistance is futile. Give up now, and you shall die quickly." 14 said, while walking towards them, as Lapis growled in annoyance.
"Oh, would you just shut up, you Terminator Knockoff!" Shouted Lapis, while rushing towards 14 and slamming his leg into the android's head, sending ho, flying off to the side.
Lazuli quickly got up, and flew around 14, delivering an axe kick to his back, before smashing him into the ground. With the female android then picking him up, and throwing him at her brother, with Lapis holding his arm out and clotheslining 14, using the momentum to slam him back into the ground.
The twins then flew up into the air and gathered Ki in their hands.
"You're terminated asshole!" Shouted Lazuli.
"Accel Dance!" The twins said, while firing a large barrage of Ki blasts at 14, refusing to stop until the android was destroyed.
"I'll be back!" 14 cried out, as his body was being ripped apart by the blasts.
The twins only stopped after several moments, before firing off two Power Blitz, just to be sure 14 was destroyed. When the smoke cleared, they relaxed as they saw 14's body was blasted into pieces and wouldn't be getting again.
"Come on, let's go help Naruto deal with trucker hat." Lapis said, with Lazuli nodding, as they flew off to where Naruto and 13 were fighting.
*With Gebo*
Gebo and 15 clashed against each other, throwing several punches at the other, only for them to dodged or blocked. Until Gebo succeeded in wrapping his arms around 15, before proceeding to fly them both straight towards the ground, where he crashed through it, with Gebo continuing to burrow deeper into the ground.
Eventually, 16 gave 15 a solid punch embedding him into the hole he just dug, before quickly flying out, and standing on the edge of the hole.
"AH! You bitch, just wait until I get outta here!" 15 shouted from within the hole, as Gebo tucked his hands under his arms, before detaching them, and aiming his arm cannons into the hole, as they began glowing.
"The hell is that?! What're you doing up there?! Wait, now I see a light." 15 said, as he began flying out of the hole.
"Go towards it! Hell Flash!" Gebo shouted, firing his attack, just as 15 reached the top of the hole.
"Ah, you motherfucking bi-!" 15 exclaimed, before being cutoff, as he was consumed by the blast.
When Gebo stopped his blasts, he saw the destroyed remains of Android 15. Seeing his opponent was dealt with, 16 reattached his hands and flew off to assist his friend in dealing with 13.
*With Naruto*
"Galick Gun…FIRE!" Naruto shouted, before firing his attack at 13, who retaliated by firing his own energy blast, resulting in a beam struggle.
Though Naruto had the advantage, thanks to his unlimited energy, along with no worry of actually dying, plus the Zenkais he's gotten from 13's previous attacks. But that didn't mean he also had unlimited stamina and was starting to feel the effects of the long and intense battle.
Seeing the beams were still pushing back and forth between each other, Naruto immediately cutoff his attack, before quickly dodging out of the way of 13's attack. While speeding behind the android, and blasting him in the back, with 13 crying out as he launched back.
Growling, 13 turned around and prepared to attack Naruto again, only to pause when he felt something wrong. Putting a hand on his head, 13 scowled when he saw that his hat was gone.
"Ya plum done gon' daggon' did it now, son!" Shouted 13, before rushing at Naruto and kneeing him in the stomach, before slamming his clasped hands down on the Saiyan Androids back, sending him crashing into the ground.
Grunting at the impact, Naruto stood up, as 13 landed across from him. Though before they could reengage each other, Lapis and Lazuli landed beside Naruto.
"Hey, we dealt the knockoff, and figured you could use some help against the redneck." Lazuli said.
"You two destroyed 14? Well now, isn't that mighty impressive. I'd tip my hat to ya, BUT I LOST IT!" 13 shouted, still angry over the loss of his hat.
"Android 15 has also been dealt with." Said Gebo, while landing beside his comrades.
"Wait, both 14 and 15 are destroyed? Good." Said 13, while smirking wickedly, before he let out a shout, as he was surrounded by green Ki, as the computer chips and energy reactors from both 14 and 15 left their destroyed remains and flew towards 13.
13 shouted loudly, as the computer chips entered his head, and the energy reactors enter his chest. Once the pieces were properly assimilated, 13 began growing in size, as his skin turned dark blue, his hair spiked up and turned orange, and his eyes turned pure yellow.
"Hey, look he turned into a roided out smur-AH!" Lapis said, only to be cutoff as he shouted in pain, when 13 appeared in front of him, grabbing the younger android and slamming his head into the ground, before flying off with Lapis in his hand.
"Lapis!" Shouted Lazuli in worry for her brother.
13 soon flew up into the air, and began spinning around, swinging Lapis as he did so. After a few moments, 13 immediately threw Lapis straight into Gebo, who had flown up to save Lapis, with the ginger android managing to grab his friend. But this also left him open, as 13 fired a powerful and massive Ki blast at them, sending them crashing straight back into the ground.
The upgraded android then turned as Naruto flew at him, unleashing several punches and kicks at 13, only for them to have no effect. 13 then grabbed Naruto by his head, before placing his hand on his chest, and firing another Ki blast that shot right through Naruto, making the Saiyan Android gasp in pain, before being tossed aside.
Lazuli flew up and held her hand out, forming a yellow Ki sphere, before firing it as an energy wave at 13, only for the android to raise his hand and block the attack. Grinning sadistically, 13 appeared in front of Lazuli and wrapped a hand around her throat, with Lazuli gasping for air, as she was being choked.
Flying back to the ground, 13 looked, and saw that both 16 and Lapis were knocked out, but made no move to finish them. As before it was destroyed, Gero's computer had been able to implant orders into the "defective" androids head. With one of them being to only incapacitate the rogue androids, and not kill them.
17 and 18, because they were needed to be absorbed by Cell; 22 literally couldn't die, for obvious reasons; while 16 was due to being modeled after the doctors son.
So, rather than kill the androids, 13 was simply going to incapacitate them, as he tightened his grip on Lazuli's neck to knock her out, as well.
Though suddenly, 13 was tackled by an enraged Naruto, resulting in Lazuli being released, and be able to breath. While Naruto slammed 13 into the ground and began beating him relentlessly.
"Don't! You! Dare! Touch! Her!" Naruto shouted, angry at seeing 13 choke Lazuli, even angrier than when he attacked Lapis and Gebo, and swore he'd make 13 pay for touching her.
Grabbing 13 by his hair, Naruto threw him into the air, before cupping his hands behind him.
"Ka…Me…Ha…Me…HAAAAAAAAA!" Naruto yelled, while firing the blue beam of energy at 13, pouring all his power and anger into it.
Unfortunately, 13 proved stronger and more durable, as he flew into the attack, smashing his fist into Naruto's head, knocking him into the ground. With Naruto grunted in pain, as 13 stomped his foot on his back repeatedly, pushing him deeper into the ground, before aiming his hand at the Saiyan Android, intent to vaporize him.
While it wouldn't kill him, it'd certainly take a while for Naruto to regenerate from most of his body being destroyed.
Though before he could, Lazuli sped behind him, and swung her leg against 13's head, knocking him away.
"Leave him alone!" Shouted Lazuli, while glaring at 13, before firing another Ki blast at the other android, knocking him down.
Standing up, Naruto looked at Lazuli, thankful for her arrival and glad to see she was alright. With Lazuli also being glad to see that Naruto had recovered from 13's attacks.
The two's attention then turned back to 13, seeing him get back up, annoying them that the android just wouldn't die.
"Together?" Lazuli asked, while looking at Naruto.
"Together." Replied Naruto, holding his hand behind him, while Lazuli aimed her hands at 13.
"Galick Gun…FIRE!" Shouted Naruto.
"Dead End Rain!" Said Lazuli.
The two fired their attacks, as they combined together into a large double spiral that impacted 13, soon consuming the large android. 13 crying out as the attack consumed his entire body, with it soon breaking apart as it was consumed by the attacked.
Naruto and Lazuli stopped their attacks and looked to see if 13 somehow managed to survive, only to be glad they didn't see any sign of the android, aside from some scattered remains of the Android.
Relieved that all their enemies were now destroyed, Naruto turned and smiled at Lazuli. But before he could say anything, the Saiyan Android was surprised when Lazuli suddenly pressed her lips against his, his surprise only growing, when Lazuli shoved her tongue into his mouth.
Though despite his surprise at the sudden action, along confusion of what it was, Naruto couldn't deny that he enjoyed how soft Lazuli's lips were.
But just as quickly, Lazuli pulled back with both androids blushing in embarrassment at her action.
"S-sorry." Lazuli said, not sure what came over her, just that with 13 finally gone and they were safe, she just acted and kissed Naruto.
"It-it's fine, really. I, uh, I actually really liked it. Was that a kiss to?" Naruto asked, remembering when she kissed him on the cheek, after coming out of his pod, while Lazuli was relieved that he didn't freak out, and pleased that he enjoyed it.
"Yeah, it was. That was called a french kiss, where you kiss someone on the mouth and use your tongue. That was…that was actually my first kiss." Revealed Lazuli.
Given before Gero found them, she and her brother had been delinquents, which didn't really give her much time to find a guy she was interested in.
"Your first kiss?" Asked Naruto, curious of what that meant.
"Yeah, my first kiss. It's actually something special for a girl, and usually saved for someone they really care about." Lazuli answered, smiling at Naruto, while he looked at her in surprise, and blushing again, at hearing how important a first kiss is.
"O-oh, sorry. I-I didn't mean to take your first kiss." Said Naruto, worried she'd be upset at losing her first kiss to him.
Only for Lazuli to place a hand on his cheek, and smile at him.
"Don't be, if I had to give it to anyone, I'm glad it was you, Naruto." Lazuli said, surprising Naruto again, before he smiled at her.
Unfortunately, the moment was ruined when they heard a raspy voice.
"Ah, how sweet. I almost hate to ruin the moment between you lovebirds." Said Cell, standing over the unconscious Lapis and Gebo, having seen his chance to absorb the androids, and refused to lose it.
Naruto and Lazuli's heads snapped towards Cell, looking at him with wide eyes, wondering what he was. Only to be shocked when his tail opened up and aimed at Lapis, making them realize what he was about to do.
"NO!" Naruto shouted, about to run forward and stop Cell.
But he was too late, as Cell's tail engulfed Lapis, and began sucking him up, into Cell's body. With Naruto and Lazuli being shocked and horrified at seeing Lapis be absorbed.
Cell gave a raspy laughter, as he began glowing brightly, before he gave a loud shout, as his power skyrocketed. The dramatic increase in power, accompanied by his body transforming, becoming more of a cross between a human and a bug, along with his voice deepening.
When the light faded, it revealed Cell in his new form, as he laughed wickedly, and looked himself over.
"Hm, so this is my Semi-Perfect Form. Interesting." Cell said, smirking as he felt that his power had grown immensely.
Cell then turned his attention towards the frozen Naruto and Lazuli, as he held his tail up.
"Now for you, 18." Stated Cell, wanting to absorb her as well, so he can reach his perfection.
Though his words seemed to snap Naruto out of his shock, as he felt his anger rising. Not only at the fact that thing creature absorbed his friend, but now was going to do the same to Lazuli!
"RRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Naruto roared, before shooting towards Cell, as his dark orange Ki burst into a bright gold color, with his hair black hair turning the same gold color, while his eyes burned with green fire.
The Bio-Android was surprised at seeing Naruto's sudden transformation into a Super Saiyan, leaving him open to Naruto slamming his fist into his face. Only for Cell to smirk, when he didn't budge, as Naruto glared at him.
"It seems I've gotten stronger than I imagined." Cell stated, swinging his arm at Naruto, who blocked the strike, only to grunt in pain, as he was sent skidding back.
"Kamehameha!" Shouted Naruto, firing the blast at Cell, with the Bio-Android meeting Naruto's Kamehameha with his own.
Naruto shouted as he poured all his energy into the attack, but despite that Cell's attack was starting to overpower his own. Given Naruto was still feeling tired and weakened from his fight against 13, and while his body was fully healed, he hadn't fully rested.
Gritting his teeth, Naruto looked at the frozen Lazuli and unconscious Gebo. While he wants to avenge Lapis, he also couldn't risk the same thing happening to Lazuli, as well. With that thought, Naruto broke the beam struggle and quickly flew into the air, while placing hands up to his head.
"Solar Flare!" Naruto said, as a bright flash of a light blinded Cell, who cried out and covered his eyes.
Seeing the creature was temporarily blinded, Naruto quickly grabbed the unconscious Gebo, and ran over to Lazuli.
"Lazuli! We have to go, now!" Naruto said, snapping her out of her shock, as she nodded shakily, before the two quickly flew off, carrying Gebo as they did.
*The Lookout*
Meanwhile, on The Lookout, Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo's heads snapped in the direction of where Cell was, with their eyes wide open, as they felt the boost in power the Bio-Android gained.
"He…he's absorbed one of the androids. He's become this powerful from just one of them." Piccolo said, not believing the power Cell's gained after absorbing one android, he didn't even want to think of how powerful, he'll become, if he absorbed both of them.
"Trunks, Vegeta, you both need to hurry." Muttered Goku, knowing they had to act fast, or else Cell could potentially become too powerful for them to stop.
*Kame House*
At Kame House, Tien, Yamcha, Roshi and Chiaotzu looked to where they sensed Cell's power and were shocked at how high it went up.
"Guys, that was Cell wasn't it." Yamcha said, clenching his fists to keep himself from shaking at the power Cell gained.
"He absorbed one of the androids, didn't he." Chiaotzu stated in worry
"Yeah, and with the power he's gained, he can just as easily absorb the second one." Tien said, gravely.
Looking at Yamcha, the two fighters nodded, knowing what they had to do, as they flew off.
While they knew they didn't stand a chance against Cell now, they also couldn't allow the Bio-Android to absorb the second android and becoming potentially unstoppable. The best they could do, is hope to hold off Cell long enough for the androids to escape, while giving Goku and the others more time to arrive.
*Gero's Lab*
Meanwhile within Gero's Sub-Lab, the container that the present Cell was in, shattered, as Imperfect Cell breathed heavily, now fully matured, thanks to the emergency protocols.
Though Imperfect Cell looked up, when he sensed Semi-Perfect Cell's boost in power, and sensing how similar the Ki was to his own.
It didn't take long, until Imperfect Cell growled in annoyance at realizing what was happening and was annoyed that his prey was already being targeted. But despite, that Imperfect Cell decided to still investigate, and find out what was going on.
'After all, if this is an alternate version of me, possibly from another reality or another timeline, then that must mean he had a way to travel here. Which means, I'll also have a means to find another version of 17 and 18.' Thought Imperfect Cell, as he ran off, refusing to give up on his chance to reach his perfection.
And once he's achieved his Perfect Form, he'll deal with this alternate version of himself. After all, there's only room for one Perfect Being in the universe.
So, what did you think, good. Yep Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Trunks, and Vegeta will be going into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train for the androids. While 13, 14, and 15 have located Naruto and the others with all of them going against the three, only for it prove difficult, due Gero having upgraded the "defective" androids specifically to deal with Naruto if he went rogue. Also yes, for those that didn't figure it out, 14 is based off the Terminator, even having the same endoskeleton. While unknown to the androids, Cell followed the sounds of their battles and is now observing them, while seeing if he'll have an opening to absorb 17 and 18. We then see the twins and Gebo managing to destroy 14 and 15, leading to 13 absorbing their parts to become Super Android 13, giving him the power to take out Lapis and Gebo, and nearly take down Lazuli until Naruto attacked in angered at seeing Lazuli being attacked. Leading to Naruto and Lazuli finally destroying 13 with a combined attack, and a moment between the two. Unfortunately, it's cut short by Cell arriving and absorbing Lapis, which pushes Naruto to transform into a Super Saiyan, but is unable to fight Cell due to still being exhausted from fighting 13, leading to them fleeing from Cell. Finally we see the others have sensed Cell's new power and know they need to hurry and stop him, along with seeing the Present Imperfect Cell has now reached full maturity and sensed his alternate counterpart, while planning to find his own versions of 17 and 18 to reach his Perfect Form and then deal with his counterpart. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
Storm out
