Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Awaken

Vegeta slaps a pinned Goku twice while a grueling smile crept on his face. Watching the scene play, a man sat on his bed with Lime Tortilla Chips on his lap and Queso Cheese dip on his left. He enjoyed the fight, dialogue, and animation of the anime thus far. "I still can't believe how good the animation is for some fights even though the anime is old as hell." He dipped a Tortilla Chip into the cheese and plopped it in his mouth. "Studios should take no-" As he was talking, chips entered his throat and clogged his windpipe. He gagged and attempted to gasp for air but couldn't. He held his throat and tried grabbing anything he could but passed out due to lack of oxygen.

Darion woke up in an unsuspecting plane. Unaware of his surroundings, confusion grew in his mind. (What?? Where am I?) He couldn't see anything but he could feel a liquid surrounding his body. (Am I alive?).

"Incubation Complete." A voice of robotic nature spoke out into the area. (What was that? Did someone speak?) Due to the liquid he is engulfed in, he couldn't make out what it said but heard a voice.

The biochemical substance was drained completely by the machine containing it inside of a tube. He stepped out of the tube and opened his eyes. "What the..." Around him was many machines and capsules for keeping other androids and such inside. "This place is teched out!! Is this a lucid dream?" Aproaching one of the pods, it held a chubby snow white colored robot.

"Yo that looks like.." As he peered through the glass, he saw a reflected image. It was of a green monster with a pair of yellow sclera and snake black eyes. "AAH!!" He turned around and saw nothing but the machines in the area.

"What? What did I...what was that??" He asked himself. He looked back at the glass and saw the monster again as a reflection. (If there's no one here then...) He put his hand on his beak. "Is that me??"

It was confused and demoralizing. "Wait....why do I look like Cell??" He became more aware of himsslf. (Now that I'm thinking about it. I sound like him too.) An epiphany was reached. "Wait...if I'm Cell then this is..." He turned around and saw the area he was in. "This has to be Dr. Gero's lab!!"

"And if I am a matured Cell then....I'm in the future timeline!!" He thought about how terrible this timeline would be but tossed that thought to the side.

"Thats beside the point. I need to gain as much information as possible while I'm here." He went on to look over all he could within the lab. But it was in vail.

"I can't understand a thing!!" He sat against the wall in defeat. "There's no instruction manual for this shit man." He shook his head. "Fuck it." He walked up to the Android 14 pod.

"Winginging it!!" He pressed a button and steam arises from the pod. "Its opening.." He turned left then right before hopping on top of the pod. (Didn't Cell decrease his power level to hide his presence. Like this right?) Everything was instinctive for him due to the accumilation of cells inside him. His presence was basically erased completely as the pod opened.

"I've arisen?" 14 looked around and saw no one. "Dr. Gero is no where to be seen but." He looked at Cell's tube and saw nothibg. The other pods looked closed other than two other ones.

"Don't worry 14." A grotesque hit 14's ears. He stepped down immediately and placed his arm on 14's shoulder. "Its just you and me right now, brother."

This caught 14 by surprised but he detected no ill intent. "You....are you."

"Cell, you may call me Cell." He walked to the open lane in the lab. "To catch you up to speed, Goku is dead, died of a heart attack. And his companions were all destroyed by Android 17 and 18."

"The destruction of Son Goku is now complete." 14 stood there within his own thoughts.

"No need to think too deeply about this. I'll give you an order as the heir to the Red Ribbon Army." He declared himself to be. Cell points at 14 with a smirk on his beak. "Beat me in hand to hand combat. If you do, I will grant you your freedom. If you don't.....then I will absorb you." He closed his fingers into his palm. "Sounds fair, right? After all, we were mads for the same purpose."

14 was quiet and then, they were both seen outside the lab clashing. Two mighty forces colliding. (Starting off with this much power is cheating isn't?)

14 was parrying and blocking Cell's attacks effortlessly. A jab to the face was slipped and countered with a cross jab of his own. It stunned Cell. "Ah!! Fuck!!" His hands covered his face in pain. Cell was then struck in his stomach. After that, a knee slammed into his chin followed up with a roundhouse kick to his jaw. He was sent to ground, destroying the landscape in a 15 meter radius and shaking the rest.

"As a one of the many creations of Dr. Gero, I am disappointed by your fighting prowess." He floats down to Cell.

He got up groaning. "Trust me, 14. I am too." He shook off the pain and peered at the android. (I won't be able to beat him if this continues. But I don't know how to fight!!) He mentally panicked. (I never learnt how to fight before!!)

"I will finish this quickly." 14 rushed at Cell.

(Wait..but Cell does.)

14 cocked his arm back with a downward assault. He extends his arm at Cell but the distorted bioandroid's head tilts to the left, dodging the attack. "What's wrong? Was there a fly on my shoulder?"

14 was unfazed by his evasion. But Cell's fighting style was similar to Vegeta's. His head was tilting out of the way of head strikes while a grin curled his lips. Cell's palms push the attacks away from his face. (Leave it up to instinct. Recall the moves engraved into this body.)

14 stops his punch midway which caused Cell to swipe his hand for zero reason. He lands a gut punch again. Cell spits up before a overhand strike is blocked.

Cell headbutts 14. "HAH!!" He puts his hand in front of 14's face.

14 slips out of the way of the palm as saw a spiked tail coming at his face. The android spins out of the way but his neck his entangled by the tail.

"Gyaa!!" Cell rams his palm into 14's chest. He then rotates his body and launched 14 into the ground. He stood on a rock and folds his arms over his chest.

14 burst out of the rubble.

"You got something there." Cell pointed at his beak. "Some dirt between your teeth."

14 flew at Cell and vice versa. The two clash and collide, creating shockwaves that burst through the terrain. Flying at each other, their forearms slam into each other. The two powers struggled to overpower each other. A jab to the face was caught by Cell's palm. Smirking in 14's face, Cell backhand's 14's chin but his wrist was caught. 14 judo flips Cell away and sends a black of ki to his direction.

Cell stops himself from flying any further and turns to 14. Covering his body, he blocks with his forearms, shins, and tail. An explosion of energy erupts in the area. In the midst of the smoke, a beam of energy tears through the wind. 14 avoids by moving body to the left. But then a foot appeared 3 meters away from him. He adjust his arm up and blocks it but the force sends him into the dirt below. His back grinds against the ground.

Cell retracts his body from 14. (This is weird...) Cell's eyes looked 14 up and down. (I'm sure I've been hitting him all this time. But....he doesn't look fazed by it at all.)

"Then how about this!!" He reached over to a pillar of rocks in the area. It rises up from the ground and at high speeds, flies at Cell.

Android 14 ran at it and with a punch, destroyed the entire rock. Cell, ran through the rubble and directed at kick to 14's temple. The kick lands but there was too much resistance between his foot and 14's head. In fact, his head didn't move.

"Do you lack the intelligence to understand the gap in strength between you and I?" 14 gripped Cell's ankle, pulled him in and punched him in the face.

"Gah!!" Another punch to the jaw was delivered with a backhand that sent him flying through multiple rocks. A hand grabs Cell's face and drags him through the dirt. 14 then throws Cell into the air. His solar plexus is headbutted by 14, sending him further into the air.

Cell stops himself from being propelled further. "Damn, he's hitting harder than before!!"
