405Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be seeing Goku and the Androids arrive at The Lookout and making a new plan to deal with the even stronger Super Perfect Cell, along with seeing even further deviations from canon. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
It didn't take long, before Goku and the Androids arrived at The Lookout, with the other Z-Fighters tensing up at seeing the Androids.
"Guys, don't worry, they're not here to fight. They're here to help us against Cell, who's now become even stronger." Goku said, before he began telling them everything that Naruto told him, from Cell's new form and his plans of hosting a tournament, to decide the fate of the world.
With this news not helping everyone's already low moods, since they now had to deal with Cell being even more powerful, and having to worry about beating him in a tournament.
"I'll tell my mom to keep an eye on the news, for when Cell makes his announcement." Trunk said, figuring from what he's heard of Cell's personality and his plans, he'll make some grand announcement of what he's doing to the entire world.
"I'll call mom, so she can do the same." Added Gohan, with Goku nodding at them both.
"Good, we need to make sure we know when, and where Cell, will hold this tournament. And I'll call Roshi, to do the same, as well." Goku said, before going to do just that.
*Kame House*
"Hmm…yes, I understand Goku…we'll be sure to keep our eyes on the news…of course, and you stay safe, ya here." Roshi said, nodding as he hung up the phone.
The Turtle Hermit then looked behind him, and sighed, as he saw Chiaotzu and Puar sitting on the couch, with downcast expressions. Both of them having been saddened and depressed, when Chiaotzu and the Turtle Hermit sensed Yamcha and Tien die, while knowing this time could very likely be permanent. Given the Dragon Balls have now turned to stone, and them having no idea of where New Namek is, it was now a real possibility, that if any of them die, they won't be able to come back.
'And I doubt this news will help them.' Roshi thought, knowing they won't be happy to learn Tien and Yamcha died for nothing, with Vegeta's actions leading to let Cell attain his Perfect Form.
Now all they could do, is hope that the others will grow strong enough to defeat Cell.
*The Lookout*
Finishing his phone call, Goku looked at everyone, glad that they were all gathered.
"Okay, originally, I was hoping that after our time in the Time Chamber, we'd be strong enough to defeat Cell. But things have changes, he's even stronger than when he had 17 and 18, it's even likely he'll train in his new power, making him even stronger. So, we'll be going back in the Time Chamber to get more training done." Goku said, knowing they needed to get even stronger, if they wanted to have a chance against Cell's Super Perfect Form.
"The new pairs will be me and 22, I still have eleven months to use in the chamber, from when I was a kid and after the year inside with Gohan. After that, it'll be Piccolo and 17 going inside, then Trunks and Gohan, then 22 and 18." Goku said, knowing this way, at least two of them would be able to go into the Time Chamber one more time, if it was needed.
"Okay. My mother is also coming here, with her portable workshop, so she can work on the Androids, and make any repairs or upgrades that they might need." Trunks said, having filled Bulma in on what's happening, including what his father did, and what happened to him.
Thinking about his father made Trunks look down, getting everyone's attention, and knew the reason for it. Given Trunks spent his entire life wanting to meet his father, to earn his love and respect, to show him how strong he was. And yet, after seeing how he was willing to just discard Krillin's, Yamcha's and Tien's sacrifices by letting Cell absorb 18, just so he could get a challenge. And ignoring the threat Cell would become, if he reached his full power, with Cell now being even stronger than he originally was.
"Trunks, I know you're upset by what Vegeta did, and you have every right to be. But don't let it get to you, Vegeta made his choices, and had to pay the price, just like you can make your own choices to be better than him. Use this experience as a lesson, to never lose sight of what's in front of you, and always push yourself to be better." Goku said, with Trunks looking up at the older Saiyan.
"Dad's right. And besides you're already pretty strong Trunks, look at how easily you took down Frieza and his father." Added Gohan, with Trunks looking at the younger counterpart of his mentor, touched at his praise.
"Hey Bright Eyes, we know you don't like us, but here's some advice, deadbeat parents are overrated." Lapis said, with Lazuli nodding in agreement with her brother.
"Yeah, if they wanna be full of themselves, or are just straight up assholes, then forget them." Said Lazuli, since she and her brother had their own experience with terrible parents.
Trunks looked at the Androids, surprised that they are offering him support, even when he was fully intending to kill them, when he first came to this time. It made the Half-Saiyan realize, that these Androids really were different from the ones he knew.
"Right." Trunks said, nodding at all their words, knowing they were right, and that he can be better than his father was, and remember him as the man he heard about from his mother and Gohan, not as the bitter reality he saw.
"Alright. Let's go, Naruto." Goku said, motioning the Saiyan Android to follow him to the Time Chamber, having learned the Androids names on the fly, here.
"Naruto?" Gohan asked, confused at the name.
"That's the name he chose, just like 16 chose the name Gebo. And our names are Lapis and Lazuli." Lazuli answered, surprising the others that the Androids had names, but nodded in understanding.
Naruto followed Goku to the Time Chamber, being surprised when he saw the vast empty void, with the only color being in the building they entered into.
"Yeah, it takes a while to get used to, but it's really useful for training. Just don't go in alone, since being in here alone could drive someone mad." Goku warned, with Naruto nodding, as he looked, around not seeing any end to the chamber.
"Okay, so what's the plan for training?" Naruto asked, wondering what they'll be working on, as Goku walked a few feet away and stood across from him.
"First, we'll be working on making you into an actual martial artist, so you can fight for real." Said Goku, with Naruto frowning in annoyance at this.
"I can already fight." Naruto said, crossing his arms, while Goku shook his head.
"You know how to fight, that doesn't mean you can fight. Gero may have programmed you to know how to do several forms of fighting, but that doesn't mean you can use them, correctly. Just because you know how to do something, doesn't mean you can do it. From what I've heard from the others, you usually rush against any opponents, while taking advantage of your regeneration, since you can't die, and can gain more Zenkai Boosts. But you can still be overwhelmed, or tired out. So, while you know how to fight, you can't fight someone who's had years of training and experience, who is equal to you, if not stronger than you. We'll be working on you actually learning to use the fighting styles you were uploaded with, so you can fight." Goku explained, knowing there's a difference between knowing how to do something, and actually being able to do it.
He could say he knew how to drive a car, but that doesn't mean he'd be able to actually drive one.
Naruto frowned at this, Goku's words being a blow to his pride, but had to admit he was right. All the fights he's been in, he only won them thanks to him using his immortality and Zenkai Boosts to overpower his opponents. He didn't actually win through skill, but just sheer force.
"Okay, what else?" Naruto asked.
"Outside of martial arts training, we'll also work on helping you master your Super Saiyan Transformations. Gohan and I were able to succeed in mastering Super Saiyan to the point he could stay in them for days, without feeling tired, along with being stronger than when it's first awakened. I also got a glimpse of that other form you awakened, I guess that'd be called Super Saiyan 2, going beyond the regular Super Saiyan. And while it's definitely powerful, you don't seem to be in full control of yourself, and ended up toying with Cell. That could be bad, as it'd give an opponent time to make a counterattack, you wouldn't expect, if you're being controlled by your own power." Goku said, with Naruto nodding, since he had felt stronger than ever, when he went into Super Saiyan 2, that he could do anything, and wanted to simply make Cell suffer, before killing him.
"That's the main parts we'll be focusing on. For now, let's spar, to see what you know so far. Also, don't hold back, with Cell's new power, I need to be pushed even farther, also, and hopefully awaken Super Saiyan 2, as well." Said Goku, getting into his stance, before powering up to Full Power Super Saiyan.
"Alright, ready, whenever you are." Naruto replied, getting into his own stance, and transforming as well.
For a moment, the two Saiyans stood across from each other, before with a shout, they charged each other.
*Later-The Lookout*
Several hours had passed, since Naruto and Goku went into the Time Chamber, with the others sitting outside, on The Lookout. Most of them waiting for either their turn in the chamber, or to get any news on Cell, and what he was planning.
Everyone then looked up, when a Capsule Corp plane landed on The Lookout, with Bulma and baby Trunks stepping out.
"Trunks!" Bulma said, smiling at her future son, with Trunks getting up, before walking over to his mother and baby self.
"Hey mom. Did you learn anything about what Cell is planning?" Trunks asked, with Bulma nodding in confirmation.
"Yeah, he made a big announcement on the news, for his tournament, calling it the Cell Games. He's welcoming any challengers to face him in one-on-one matches, and that if he wins, he'll leave earth, after blowing it up." Bulma explained, making everyone's eyes widen at this.
"Well, the bug man certainly enjoys showboating, doesn't he." Stated Lapis, causing Bulma's attention to turn towards the Androids, with this being the first time she's seen them.
"So, those are the Androids. I thought you said there were four." Bulma said, while looking at her son, with Trunks nodding.
"There are, the fourth is in the Time Chamber with Goku. Though they should be out in a few more hou-" Trunks said, only to stop, as his eyes widened in shock, when he felt two giant Ki signatures appear in The Lookout, while the others, who could sense Ki, were also shocked.
Looking, everyone saw Goku exiting the Time Chamber, having used up his remaining months inside, with his golden aura flaring around him, with bio-electricity sparking across his body. Showing that he had succeeded in ascending to Super Saiyan 2.
Naruto followed Goku out, saving up his remaining month, for when he enters again. His own aura also flaring up, though being more controlled, than when he initially awakened it, along with being in control of himself.
"Wow." Gohan muttered, shocked at just how much more powerful his father was now, compared to when they came out of the chamber.
Piccolo could only nod in agreement with his students, amazed at the increase in power.
"Who's she?" Naruto asked, looking at Bulma, while raising a brow at baby Trunks in her arms, causing the older Trunks to scratch the back of his head.
"Oh right. Uh mom, this is Android 22, or Naruto, as he's been renamed. This is my mother, or at least the past version of her." Trunks introduced.
"…Oh." Said Naruto, realizing that the baby was Trunks younger counterpart, meaning he was also Vegeta's son.
"So, you're the one who killed Vegeta." Bulma stated, seeing the one who killed her sons' father.
"Yeah. And I doubt it means much, but I'm sorry I killed your husband, and taking away your sons' father. But I'm also not sorry for killing the man, himself, because of what he did." Said Naruto, feeling regret at robbing a child of their father, before they could even know him, but he also wouldn't be torn up about it, not after what Vegeta did.
"It's fine, Trunks told me what happened, and I can understand why you did it. Also, Vegeta and I weren't married, we weren't even together, actually. The night that resulted in Trunks, was a result of stress and sexual tension between us." Bulma replied, forgiving Naruto, and knowing he had killed Vegeta in revenge for letting Cell absorb the other Androids.
While part of Bulma was saddened at losing the chance to see what could have been, between her and Vegeta. Along with baby Trunks losing out on the chance to meet his father. She also wasn't going to fault the one who killed him, since the Saiyan Prince brought it upon himself.
'Plus, given what Trunks told me, he did, that might be for the best.' Bulma thought, not wanting her son to be exposed to that kind of hatred, anger and pride.
Naruto just nodded slowly, before taking notice of baby Trunks looking at him. With the baby then reaching an arm out towards him, making Bulma smile.
"I think he wants you to hold him." Said Bulma, with Naruto looking unsure at that idea.
"I'm uh, not sure that's the best idea…" Naruto said, trailing off, only for Bulma to hold Trunks out for him, with the baby waving his arms at him, with a curious look on his face.
Awkwardly, the Saiyan Android grabbed the baby, and held him in his arms. With baby Trunks looking at him, curiously, poking Naruto's whisker marks, before laughing, making the Saiyan Android smile, slightly. The sight making the others smile, as well.
'He's really good with kids.' Lazuli thought, while smiling softly at the scene.
"You say one word, and I'll turn you into my twin sister." Said Lazuli, not even looking at her brother, to know he was smirking, and was about to say something.
Which was true, until Lazuli spoke, and Lapis immediately went silent, knowing she'd go through with her threat.
Naruto handed baby Trunks back to Bulma, as Piccolo and Lapis entered the Time Chamber, for their own training.
"So, Trunks said your name is Naruto? Do you all have names, now?" Bulma asked, as she began setting up her equipment, to look the Androids over.
"Yeah, I'm Lazuli, and my brother is Lapis. While the big guy here, is Gebo." Replied Lazuli, with Bulma nodding at the names.
"Alright then. If you could get on the table Naruto, we can get started." Bulma said, after she finished setting up her workshop.
"Why do I even need to be looked at? I can't die, and can regenerate from any injuries I receive, so I don't need to be given a checkup." Naruto said, doubting he needed any repairs, or upgrades, since his immortality would heal any injuries, and he's able to get a Zenkai Boost from any fatal injuries, he receives.
"How about the fact that Gero could have put any surprises inside you, whether it was something to shut you down, kill or incapacitate you, if you ever went rogue." Stated Lazuli, not putting it past Gero to have done something like that, to make sure he could control Naruto.
"Again, I can't die, and Gero's dead now, so any failsafe's that he might have put in me, are useless now." Naruto replied, crossing his arms stubbornly, only to reel back when Bulma poked his chest.
"Okay, smart guy, how about this; Cell was able to find a way to track you, by making something from those other Androids you fought, so he could likely find a way to access these failsafe's, and shut you down, lowering our chances of beating him. He also can't die either, and can get stronger from fatal injuries, as well. And lastly, even without the Dragon Balls, you'll soon learn, that not even death can stop someone. Now then, either get on the table, or I'll have Lazuli hold you down, while I work. Your choice, whiskers." Bulma said, before putting her hands on her hips, while giving Naruto a look, as if daring him to contradict her.
Naruto looked at Bulma with wide eyes, before looking at Lazuli for help, only to see her smirking at him. Knowing he wouldn't get any help, Naruto grumbled to himself, and got on the table. Though internally, he was impressed at Bulma's lack of fear at his strength and power, along with her ability to make him do what she said.
"Out of curiosity, how did you get involved in all…this?" Naruto asked, motioning to everything around them.
"You mean going on crazy adventures, involving aliens, demons, and magic wishing granting balls?" Said Bulma, as she started looking over Naruto's mechanical parts, with the Android Saiyan nodding.
"I'm actually curious about that, too. How'd you even meet these guys?" Asked Lazuli, not having much information on Goku and his friends, outside of what Gero uploaded to her and her brother, that'd help them kill them.
"Oh. Well that's actually…kind of embarrassing." Bulma said, smiling nervously, while remembering how she first met Goku, and the reason for it, leading to many crazy adventures.
"It can't be that bad." Said Naruto, doubting it's as bad as Bulma thought it was.
"Okay. It started when I stumbled onto the Two-Star Dragon Ball, in my basement, before making the Dragon Radar, to locate the other six. My original wish was…was to have a lifetime supply of strawberries, before I changed it to having a perfect boyfriend, instead." Said Bulma, with Naruto and Lazuli looking at her with wide eyes.
"…You wanted to collect the Dragon Balls…to wish for a lifetime supply of strawberries…but then decided to wish for a boyfriend, instead?" Lazuli asked, slowly, processing what she just heard.
"I was sixteen, and just discovered the existence of actual magic items, that could grant any wish!" Said Bulma in her defense, while blushing in embarrassment.
"Okay, what happened next?" Naruto asked, interested to hear about the early adventures of the Z-Fighters.
Bulma began telling the two Androids about the adventures she went on, with Goku, Krillin and Yamcha, going against Pilaf Gang and Red Ribbon Army, fighting in the World Martial Arts Tournaments, meeting Tien, when he was an enemy in the Crane School, the battle against Evil Demon King Piccolo, and Goku defeating Piccolo, when he was still their enemy. With Naruto and Lazuli listening, enthralled by the story, and everything, they went through.
While she was doing that, Bulma continued working on Naruto, taking notice that some of his cybernetics were damaged, before removing them. And replacing them with more up-to-date technology.
"Okay, that should do it. Your turn, Lazuli." Bulma said, having finished looking Naruto over, as the two Androids switched spaces, with Lazuli now lying down, with Bulma attaching some wires to her head.
"First, we're getting rid of something easy. I'll remove the programs that are preventing you from sensing Ki, so this way, you'll be less likely to be caught unaware. All you'll have to do, is learn how to sense it." Bulma said, with Lazuli nodding, thankful that she'll be able to sense her allies, and where enemies are coming from, now.
Bulma then looked up, when Gebo walked over to them.
"Oh, Gebo. I actually just started on Lazuli, so it'll be a while, before it's your turn." Said Bulma, with Gebo nodding his head.
"That's fine. I actually wanted to ask, if you could work on me last, after Lapis comes out of the Time Chamber. Since I will not be using the chamber, it'd be better to wait, until the others are done." Gebo said, since he's a purely mechanical Android, he wouldn't get stronger from training.
"Alright, if you want." Replied Bulma, shrugging, with Gebo nodding, before going back to where he was sitting.
After Bulma removed the programs, while repairing and upgrading the Androids, Lazuli looked at Naruto. Her mind drifting back to when he freed her and her brother from Cell, and what he said and did.
"So, Naruto…about before, when you freed us…and what you said…" Lazuli trailed off, not sure how to bring it up, and if it was just a heat of the moment thing.
"I meant it." Said Naruto, with Lazuli looking at him in surprise.
"You…meant it?" Lazuli asked, with Naruto nodding.
"Yes. While I may not know everything about the world, or about how to act. One thing I do know, is that I care about you Lazuli, and I'll do everything I can to protect you." Said Naruto, with Lazuli looking at him with wide eyes, before smiling at him.
"Good, because after we take care of the bug man, you're taking me out on a date." Lazuli said, while smirking at Naruto.
"Okay, anywhere you want to go." Replied Naruto, though internally, he was nervous, since he wasn't sure how to act on a date, or what he was supposed to do.
"If you two are dating, then I could give you some recommendations on where to go, and what to do." Bulma offered, smiling, while wanting to play match maker, and help them get together as a couple.
Surprised at the offer, but also thankful, Naruto and Lazuli nodded at the bluenette.
*Later*
Once Bulma had finished working on Lazuli, along with taking another look at Naruto, for anything she might have missed, everyone waited, until finally Piccolo and Lapis exited the Time Chamber. With it now being Trunk's and Gohan's turn to enter the chamber, again.
With the future Half-Saiyan being excited at getting to train with Gohan again, like he did in his time. Even if it's not the same version, it was still Gohan, and Trunks was determined to help his mentor, like how he helped him.
"So, did I miss anything?" Lapis asked, while laying down on the table, with Bulma beginning her repairs and upgrades for him, as well.
"Nothing much. Though it looks like some idiot is actually going to challenge Cell, in the tournament. Look, he's even having a press conference." Lazuli said, motioning to the T.V. that was set up, with Lapis turning his head, only to raise a brow.
"You sure that's not a homeless man, who takes part in bum fights?" Asked Lapis, not impressed at this so-called challenger.
"Apparently, this guy's the new World Martial Arts Champion. His name's Hercule Satan." Naruto said, also not impressed with Mr. Satan, as he openly challenged Cell, and said he'd crush him like a bug.
Well at, least they'd have something entertaining to watch, before fighting Cell.
Though the group frowned, when suddenly, the press conference was cutoff.
"Huh, I wonder what happened?" Goku muttered, confused at the sudden interruption, only to tense, alongside Naruto and Piccolo, as they looked in the direction of where the press conference was taking place.
"What's happening?" Bulma asked, worried about what was happening, while knowing they sensed that something wrong.
"That crowd, their energy…it's vanishing! Cell is absorbing them!" Piccolo said, realizing what was happening.
Everyone's eyes widened at that, before instantly, Naruto, Piccolo and Goku shot off towards the press conference, to hopefully stop Cell.
*Press Conference*
Though what the Z-Fighters didn't know, was that it wasn't Perfect Cell, but Imperfect Cell, that had attacked the press conference. Having heard about it, when he drank some people, who were unfortunate enough to stumble upon him, and learned just how many people would be there. Along with learning about Mr. Satan challenging his counterpart, making Imperfect Cell eager to drink a supposedly powerful fighter, like that.
So, once he arrived, Imperfect Cell had used his telekinesis to destroy the recording and audio equipment, before he began drinking everyone present. With him starting with Mr. Satan, not wanting to risk him stopping him.
Only for Imperfect Cell to be disappointed, when he only received a small power boost from Mr. Satan, rather than a bigger one. Showing he was just a normal human, who hadn't even accessed his Ki.
'Oh well, I still had more than enough power from the rest of these fools. Besides, I probably did the other me a favor, by getting rid of that idiot, save him the embarrassment of dealing with him, himself.' Imperfect Cell thought, as he looked around the area, for anyone else to absorb.
Pausing for a moment, Imperfect Cell sniffed the air, before his head snapped towards a corner, making him chuckle sinisterly.
"Peek-a-boo, I found you." Imperfect Cell said, approaching the corner, with his tail raised, only to freeze, and look behind him.
'Damn it!' Thought Imperfect Cell, sensing Goku and Piccolo flying towards his location, with Naruto most likely being with them, as well, having likely realized that something was wrong.
Knowing that he wasn't ready to face them, and not wanting his existence revealed, just yet, Imperfect Cell suppressed his power, and quickly made his escape.
Not long after, the trio arrived, only to mentally curse, after seeing that they were too late, as they looked at all the scatter clothing of Cell's victims.
"I don't understand. Cell already has what he wants, his Perfect Form, why would he keep absorbing people?" Goku said, confused and angry that even more people are dead now, with no way to bring them back.
"The same reason Frieza blew up so many planets, because he could." Said Piccolo, while scowling.
Naruto frowned, as he looked around, before looking to the same corner Imperfect Cell had been approaching, earlier. Getting Piccolo and Goku's attention, Naruto pointed to the corner, and motioned them to be quiet. The two nodding, as the Saiyan Android went to the corner.
Once he reached it, Naruto peeked around, only to catch a rock, that was thrown at his head. Looking at who threw it, Naruto gained a downcast expression, when he saw it was a young girl, with long black hair, pale skin, and blue eyes, hiding in a doorframe. With her also shaking, and looking at him fearfully.
"Hey, it's alright, I'm not gonna hurt you." Naruto said, softly, while kneeling down to her level.
"Wh-who a-are you?" The girl asked.
"My name's Naruto. What's your name?" Asked Naruto, with the girl stepping out slightly, from her hiding spot.
"V-Videl. Videl Satan." Videl answered.
'Mr. Satan's daughter.' Thought Naruto, saddened that she likely saw her father being absorbed by Cell.
"It's nice to meet you, Videl. But, would you be able to tell me, what happened here?" Naruto asked, while not wanting to have her relive such a traumatic event, he also wanted to see if she saw anything, or heard anything that Cell might have said, for why he did this.
"I-I d-don't remember m-much. M-my dad w-was giving h-his sp-speech, w-when a-a-all the c-camera's ex-exploded. Th-then, th-then…" Videl stuttered, as she shook in fear, with tears starting to trail down her face, as Naruto put a hand on her shoulder.
"A giant green bug man showed up." Said Naruto, with Videl nodding shakily, remembering how Imperfect Cell appeared, and began absorbing everyone, while she ran and hid, out of fear of the same happening to her.
"I'm sorry, we couldn't get here sooner, to stop him. But if it's alright with you, Videl, I can get you away from here, just in case he comes back. Is that alright?" Naruto asked, with Videl nodding quickly, not wanting to be here, in case Cell returned.
Stepping out of her hiding spot, Videl clung onto Naruto, as he guided her out. With Goku and Piccolo frowning sadly, when they saw that the only survivor was a young girl, who looked to be about the same age as Gohan.
"This is Videl, Mr. Satan's daughter. Cell was here." Naruto said, with the Saiyan and Namekian clenching their fists.
"I'll go find Cell, and get answers as to why he did this. Piccolo, can you go tell the others, what happened?" Goku asked, with Piccolo nodding, before flying back to The Lookout.
"I'll get Videl out of here, and try to help her get her mind off of what happened." Said Naruto, with Goku nodding, before flying off as well to find Cell.
Looking at Videl, Naruto put a hand on her head, making the little girl look up at him.
"Come on, let's get out of here." Naruto said, while picking Videl up, then to the girl's shock, they flew up into the air.
"H-how are we flying?" Videl asked, amazed at what was happening.
"We're flying with Ki, an energy that everyone has within them." Answered Naruto.
"Even me?" Asked Videl, while looking down at the surface, watching as they flew passed everything.
"Even you." Naruto replied, much to Videl's amazement.
"Are you a fighter, Naruto?" Videl asked, with Naruto nodding.
"Yeah, I am. I have been, my entire life. What about you, Videl, do you like martial arts?" Asked Naruto, with Videl nodding with a smile.
"Y-yeah. My…my dad…he taught me, and I won the Junior Divisions of the 24th World Martial Arts Tournament." Videl said, with Naruto smiling at her.
"Wow, you must be pretty strong, then. If you want, I could show you some things I know, and maybe one day, you'll win the actual tournament." Naruto said, with Videl's smile widening at the chance to learn more about martial arts.
*Later*
Naruto spent the rest of the day with Videl, helping her improve her martial arts training, and getting to know the young girl. Doing everything he could to help take her mind off of what happened, and everything she saw.
Eventually though, they returned to The Lookout, with Naruto learning that during that time, Trunks and Gohan had come out of the Time Chamber. With both Goku and Gohan heading home, since their time in the chamber was used up now, and all they could do was rest, and keep using the time they had to make sure they were ready.
Afterwards, Naruto asked Bulma to look after Videl, while he and Lazuli took their turn in the time chamber, together. Along with convincing Piccolo, Lapis, Gebo and Trunks to show her a few things, since she's interested in, and has a talent for, martial arts.
With that taken care of, Naruto and Lazuli entered the Time Chamber to begin their own year of training, together.
So, what did you think, good. Yep everyone is going back into the Time Chamber, with Goku even ascending to Super Saiyan 2 and helping Naruto really learn how to fight. Along with Bulma arriving to work on the Androids repairing or upgrading their cybernetics, while Naruto and Lazuli talk about their new relationship. We then see a major change from canon, with Imperfect Cell attacking the press conference held by Mr. Satan and absorbing everyone, except Videl who managed to hide, and be found by Naruto, with the Saiyan Android taking her away to help take her mind off of what she saw. Finally we see them returning to The Lookout, with Naruto and Lazuli taking their own turn in the Time Chamber. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
Storm out
