A Familiar Stranger by Cell (2/29/08) story by Cell

It was a calm and peaceful day on Earth. The sky was clear, people going about their regular routines during the day while others slept during the night on the other half of the planet. All of Earths finest warriors were training in their own ways. Goku, Maisana and Bebi trained hard on Master Roshi’s Island. 17 trained vigorously at Dr. Gero’s lab while Cell was flying for Kami’s Lookout where his love Areiko was training along with Zangya. He would be entering the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for two days in hopes of acquiring the strength and direction needed to locate a different 17 and 18 to absorb; if he did not then the 17 he was allied with would be lunch.

 

Everyone was starting their routines for the day when there was a large sonic boom coming from the sky. All looked in it’s direction wherever they were, all they saw was something rocketing straight for the planet wreathed in red energy. Everyone stopped what they were doing and watched as it crashed into the Earth. A large cloud of smoke filled the sky surrounding the area as the planet rumbled. Goku and those on Roshi’s Island waited to see what happened next, as did 17. Cell could see from the skies as well as Areiko and Zangya up on Kami’s Lookout.

 

Down at the crash site a white pod was in the center of the massive crater left in the planets surface. It had a single door with a small round red window on it. The pod made a few beeping noises before the door opened up. I large hand grabbed at the doorway followed by another as a large muscular man in strange armor that covered his shoulders, chest, back, crotch and sides of his thighs. He had gauntlets and boots on as well and hair that went down to his knees. He had a scouter on his head that attached on his left ear and wrapped around over his left eye that was constantly blinking and relaying information to its user. His name was Raditz and he was a Saiyan that worked for Frieza.

 

“This planet is very simple and has no real hope for a future.” Raditz said

 

He looked around himself as his scouter beeped and blinked as numbers started appearing, very few even worth noticing.

 

“Pathetic, this planet is full of weaklings, their all barely higher then 6,000. Not even worth Frieza’s time. I should just blow this miserable planet up and go back home.” Raditz said

 

As he got back into his ship he remembered what Frieza said to him about what would happen if he returned empty handed.

 

“If you don’t come back with anything or anyone Raditz I will have you killed!” Frieza bellowed

 

Raditz shuddered at the thought of what Frieza might do to him so he decided to take a second look at what Earth had to offer. Looking around he went around twice before making his final decision.

“There are three large power levels to the South East, one is traveling north, two are in the North already and one is towards the West. The strongest one is in the group of three right now so I will start with that one.” Raditz said

 

He took off in the direction of Roshi’s Island where he read Goku’s power level as being the strongest. Cell could see all of this through the scouter built into himself, he double tapped the left side of his head and patched himself through to Dr. Gero’s laboratory.

 

“17? 17 are you there?” Cell asked

 

“What do you want cricket boy? Can’t you see I’m busy training?” 17 sarcastically responded

 

“Your insolence is irritating but I will let it slide this time. I’m sure you are as aware as I am that someone or something is on this planet with a power level stronger then our own and that he is heading in Bebi’s direction.” Cell said

 

“Yeah and what’s your point?” 17 asked

 

“My point is if you don’t want to be absorbed you better loose the attitude and get there as soon as possible to help with the fight to come.” Cell answered

 

“Yeah fine whatever, and where will you be during this fight?” 17 inquired

 

“I will be acquiring much needed power to aid us in our quest for my perfection.” Cell answered

 

“Whatever, I’ll leave for Bebi as soon as I’m finished here.” 17 said just before he blasted the monitor ending the call

 

Cell shook his head and let out a light chuckle before continuing his flight to Kami’s Lookout.

 

“That little punk is on my nerves already; if no one can find another 17 for me to absorb then that little brat is lunch!” Cell said to himself

 

Cell rocketed for Kami’s Lookout and was only a few kilometers away. Meanwhile Raditz was approaching Roshi’s Island and stopped in the air just above the closest island to it. He could see everyone on the island clear as day and figured out which of the people on the island went with each power level he sensed. The strongest belonged to a man in a blue and orange outfit. The next two strongest were a woman and a little grey tuffle. The last one was an old man with a turtle shell on his back. Raditz flew over and landed on the island about ten feet away from them. He looked closely at all of them, recognizing the strongest one as a fellow Saiyan but confused as to why he was both extremely weak and not doing what he was originally sent there to do. He looked at his face carefully looking at his eyes and hair when it hit him.

“Kakarott!” Raditz yelled

 

“What’s a Kakarott? Is it something you can eat?” Goku asked

 

“Who are you and what do you want?” Masiana asked

 

“Kakarott, I am your older brother Raditz! What’s wrong with you? Why haven’t you taken over this planet for Lord Frieza yet and why are you so weak?” Raditz questioned

 

“Who you calling weak you low class bully!” Masiana snapped getting into a fighting stance

 

“That guy over there but your not any better, in fact your worse.” Raditz replied with laughter in his voice

 

“I am the princess of all Saiyans you filthy mutt!” she yelled charging at him but was stopped by Goku

 

“If it’s a fight you want brother then it will be with me. I don’t know what your talking about but I don’t like you and since you don’t look like your leaving anytime soon I say I make you leave.” Goku said calmly getting into a fighting stance

 

“Princess Masiana? But I thought you were dead, look I’m only here looking for fresh blood for Frieza. But if you want to fight I’d be more then happy to beat the life out of you Kakarott.” Raditz said

 

“I know enough about Frieza to tell you right now there’s no one on this island that would work for him. Everyone here has a mind of their own and won’t be his slaves or cronies.” Masiana said

 

Before Raditz could make another statement he was shot in the face with an energy blast. Goku and Masiana turned around to see Bebi behind them ready to fight. He was still in the pose he was when he fired off the blast.

 

“You heard the lady, scram you filthy monkey or else.” Bebi said

 

“Or else what?” Raditz asked

 

“You’ll have to deal with all three of us.” Goku answered

 

Meanwhile Cell had just arrived on Kami’s Lookout and was standing outside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. He was about to go inside when Areiko and Zangya came running over to him. Areiko threw herself around him as Zangya watched with a little disgust.

 

“Gross” Zangya said

“Zangya they need you down at Kami’s, Bebi asked me before I left for here to send you to go train with him. I suggest you get moving now.” Cell said

 

“And what if I don’t?” Zangya asked

 

Cell pushed Areiko off of himself and stuck his arm out at Zangya and formed a large energy ball in it. His tail whipping around behind him before coming to a stop over his right shoulder with the tip pointing straight at her. A wicked smile peeled across his face.

 

“Then I’ll just kill you and then absorb you myself.” Cell said

 

Areiko smirked watching her big bad Cell being tuff; she liked it when he did that. Zangya backed away slowly before turning around and b lining it straight for Roshi’s Island. Cell chuckled as did Areiko who wrapped herself around him again.

 

“Sweetheart what am I going to do while you’re in there?” Areiko asked

 

“Find me the Dragon Balls and avoid this foreigner at all costs. If you run into 17 or Bebi have them help you, tell them I said to do it.” Cell said

 

“Alright, well have fun in there Cellular.” Areiko said kissing him on the cheek

 

Cell rolled his eyes and gave her a nod as he opened the door to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and walked inside, closing the door behind him.
