I'll Settle Everything!! The Newborn Vegeta and Trunks Strike


Trunks, "I'm sorry to have you waiting." Goku, "I've waited for very long." Vegeta steps forward. The door swings shut behind him. Gohan, "Trunks!" Goku, "Trunks, you've become bigger." Trunks looks down at the floor. Popo, "You've gone in for a long time. I've never seen someone who can endure so long inside." Trunks, "In there, Father has excelled the limits of Super Saiya-jin in just two months. But he wasn't satisfied, so he kept on practicing until now." Vegeta, "Trunks." Trunks turns around. "Shut up." Trunks stops. He looks back over at Son Goku. "Vegeta, you've made it." Vegeta, "Let's see. But it's useless for you to go in now. I'll deal with Cell and the Artificial Humans." Tenshinhan, "What?" Piccolo holds out his arm in front of Ten. "Vegeta, I don't know how strong you've become, but you've underestimated them." Ten, "After you entered the room, Cell absorbed Number 17. His power has gone up. He's unbelievably powerful." Vegeta smirks. Gohan looks around at everyone. Goku, "Vegeta, I've seen Cell after he improved. He's really a horrible monster." Vegeta just smiles at them.

Bulma speeds toward God's Shrine in her aircar. She corkscrews through the air and flies upside down, laughing. Trunks is having a great time, too. Bulma suddenly gets very serious. "It's not a time for games. We must get to God's Shrine as soon as possible. Trunks, speed up." The aircar darts forward. In the distance, God's Shrine comes into view - or rather, the long column that supports Karin's Tower. "There!" She loops once around the pole, then flies straight up. Karin walks over to the edge and looks down, then suddenly jumps back when Bulma's aircar startles him. She laughs. "Looks like something has happened. Forget it." She continues straight up to God's Shrine.

"Damn it. Number 18, where are you? You're with Number 16. He's hurt. You can't go too far." He looks from side to side as he passes by islands, hoping to find the Artificial Humans on one of them.

A bird perches on Number 16's right index finger. He stares down at it. A squirrel sits beside them. Number 18 had retired to sitting against the wall, but she jumps back up. "Damn!" She startles the bird into flying away. "Cell, that monster. Number 16, aren't you angry?" He smiles and she turns to see what he's looking at. The bird has found itself a spot on a nearby tree branch. "You're so weird!" She turns around and crosses her arms. "I never know what's in your mind. You tried to save us, but you're only made for killing Son Goku." He doesn't respond, and his expression doesn't change.

Bulma arrives at her destination. "This is God's Shrine." She lands between two rows of trees and rolls to a stop. The door swings open and she jumps out. "Is anyone there? Where are you?" Goku, Tenshinhan, and Piccolo turn around. "If someone's here, come out." Gohan, "It's Bulma-san's voice." Bulma walks out, carrying Chibi Trunks. She looks around, then finally sees them. "There you are!" Everyone walks out. Goku, "Bulma, why did you come here?" Bulma, "I asked Kuririn. He said you were here." Gohan laughs and runs up to Chibi Trunks. He grabs Trunks' hand. "Hello!" Bulma looks up and sees Mirai Trunks. She gasps and runs over to him. "You're Trunks. It can't be." Trunks sighs. "Why has your hair style changed?" She runs her hand through his hair. "Is it a wig? You've grown taller." Trunks, "In God's Shrine, there's a strange room. A year in the room is just like a day outside. Father and I practiced in that room." She looks back. "What? But Vegeta's hair hasn't grown tall at all." Vegeta, "The hair of true Saiya-jin will not change much after his birth." Goku, "I see. So it's the same for me." He rubs the back of his head. Bulma, "I used to wonder about that." Goku, "That's amazing." Vegeta, "Let's spare the chatting. Bulma, what has brought you here?" Bulma, "Right, I almost forgot." She digs around in her pockets. "Look. These are the fighting uniforms that Vegeta wants." She finally pulls out a capsule. "They give good protection. I made you some, too." She hits the button on top and throws the capsule back behind her. It lands on the floor and explodes into a medium-sized rectangular white crate.

Gohan pulls a white boot over his foot. "That reminds me..." Goku examines a piece of armor, tossing it lightly into the air. "...of what we wore on Namek." He taps his foot on the ground after getting the boot on. Goku, "It's strange they're so light." Trunks finishes pulling on his second glove, which happens to be his last piece of clothing. "Are these the fighting uniforms of Saiya-jin?" Bulma, "They're made of the same material. I spent a lot of effort making them." Gohan, "You're brilliant, Bulma-san." Piccolo and Ten watch everyone silently. Bulma, "No, don't flatter me." She looks over at Piccolo and Tenshinhan. "Aren't you wearing them?" Piccolo, "I don't like to put on what Freezer and the Saiya-jin have put on." Tenshinhan, "Me neither. Dressing in the same way as Vegeta... no way." Vegeta glances over at him. Goku yanks the main piece of armor down over his head. "Don't be silly. It'll make it easy for you to move about." Vegeta pulls his glove tight. "I've already said, Kakkarotto, it's useless even if you put them on. You won't have a chance." Goku, "Because you'll be the one that beats that monster? You'd better." Vegeta grins at him. Goku smiles back. Vegeta turns away. "Good. I'm going to get Cell now." Goku, "I'll take you there by Shunkan Idou." Vegeta, "No kidding. I don't need your help. Goodbye." His aura flares up and he flies away.

Bulma, "He's still so stubborn." Mirai Trunks walks forward. "Then I'm going, too." Goku, "Oh, wait a minute." He reaches into a bag and pulls out two senzu. "Here are some senzu for you and Vegeta. Take them with you." Trunks, "Thank you." Goku, "Do your best, but don't force yourself. Run if you have to. Understand?" Trunks, "Yes, thank you. Goku-san, you have to work hard, too." Bulma, "Don't die. You hear me?" Trunks looks at her and waves to everyone. Gohan waves back, and then Trunks flies off after his father.

"Alright, Gohan. It's our turn to practice now." Gohan, "Okay." Goku holds his hand out. "Wait a minute, before the practice!" Gohan stops. Goku's stomach growls. "I'm hungry! I must eat first." Gohan, "Hmm? Now...?"

"Damn it! WIth the speed of Number 18, I should have caught her by now." He suddenly stops and flies straight up into the air. "I can't see them. That means they're still hiding in these islands." He looks around at all the islands around him. A good-sized city on one, a small town on another, and lots of empty islands. He smiles. "Alright." He growls as if he were about to start powering up. He throws his head back and his chest expands. He yells out. "Number 18, DO YOU HEAR ME?! COME OUT NOW! IF YOU DON'T COME OUT, I'LL DESTROY THESE ISLANDS ONE BY ONE! UNDERSTAND?! I KNOW YOU HEAR ME!" In the city below, people stop and cover their ears. "Number 18, COME OUT NOW!" One man looks behind him as he drives. "What?!" He suddenly slams into a parked car. The man in the other car jumps up. "Damn it! Where are you looking!" Another man stands with a companion. "What's that huge noise?" Companion, "It sounds like it's from the sky." Cell, "UNDERSTAND?!" The two men scream and cover their ears. The driver of the parked car drops the man he was about to beat up to cover his own ears. "Number 18! I'M NOT BRAGGING! YOU THINK I CAN'T BECOME A WHOLE BODY?" At Kame House, Chaouzu covers his ears. "IT'LL DESTROY YOU?" Chichi looks out a window. "IT WON'T!" Roshi, "What...what is that noise?!"

"SORRY! I REALLY WANT TO BECOME A WHOLE BODY! BUT WITH THE KIND OF POWER I HAVE NOW, NO ONE CAN BEAT ME IN THIS WORLD! COME OUT, Number 18!" Number 18 stands silently beside Number 16. "COME OUT NOW!" Vegeta speeds toward the source of the voice. "That's Cell. Good, I was looking for you, then you let me know where you are. Wait for me, Cell. Soon, we'll find out who is the best in the universe." He flies over an island.

"IF YOU DON'T COME OUT, I'LL DESTROY ALL THE ISLANDS! YOU HEAR ME?!" Number 18, "Damn it." Number 16, "It's alright, Number 18. Don't act rashly. Even if he said so, he won't do that. He's very persistent about turning into a whole body."

Cell (to himself, instead of the whole damned world, for once), "Number 18. You're not coming out? You're giving me so much trouble. How dare you. Then let me start with that island." He looks over at the island containing the city. A man in the city stares into the sky. "Was it he who made that noise?" In another area of the city, "Something is floating in the sky." Another man, "It's a monster! The monster has come! The world is doomed! It's the end of the world!" Cell sticks his arm out and sends a small red ki blast toward the city. People in the city all look up at it. "Hmm?" People's mouths gape and eyes go wide with terror when they realize what's about to happen. Just as the blast hits, a fruit vendor drops his watermelon. It breaks into two halves. The blast hits the island and expands out in a giant red dome over the entire thing. The island vanishes. Water is tossed around all over. Cell looks around, but sees no one escaping. "It looks like Number 18's not on this island. Then the next one."

"Number 18! ARE YOU STILL TRYING TO HIDE? SOON, THE ISLANDS AND YOU WILL ALL BE GONE!" Number 18 watches him from her island. "Number 16, what should we do? He's really beginning to destroy islands." Number 16, "Don't worry. Cell's attack can't kill you. He wants to absorb you no matter what." Number 18, "Even if I'm saved, you're so badly hurt, it's hard to be sure." Number 16, "Why does Cell want to be a whole body so badly? He's already become unbeaten. No one in this universe can match him. Is he simply seeking for Perfection?"

Cell throws four more blasts, destroying four more islands. Vegeta, "Looks like Cell is starting it." He passes over another island. Trunks trails Vegeta from the clouds.

Son Goku shovels food into his mouth by the ton. "Delicious!" Gohan stares at his father in awe. He slowly raises a single bite of food to his mouth as Goku downs more and more of his meal. Popo walks in with more food. Goku, "Another bowl of rice!" He quickly finishes it and grabs another off the tray, then a few seconds later, another. The stack of bowls continues to grow. Finally, he finishes and sits back, patting his belly. "I'm full now." Popo, "Son Goku, enough?" Goku, "Very full. Let's go, Gohan." Gohan, "Okay!" He quickly finishes his own food. Popo leads them out of the room. Goku runs back and grabs one more bite before walking out.

Chibi Trunks struggles up one of the many columns in God's Shrine. Bulma holds her hands back in case he falls and encourages him. "Work hard, Trunks!" He almost falls. She gasps and gets ready to catch him, but he catches himself. Piccolo and Tenshinhan watch her in silence. Bulma, "We must do our best to practice now." Piccolo and Ten look up as Son Goku, Gohan, and Popo approach them. Bulma, "Here they are!" Bulma jumps in front of Goku. "You're always so relaxed!" Chibi Trunks mutters some gibberish. Popo reaches the door to the Room of Spirit and Time and turns around. "It's your turn now. How long can you stay?" Gohan steps ahead of his father. His mouth gapes open as he stares at the door. Popo turns the handle and pulls the large door open.

Gohan walks in and looks around. He looks at the bed, the table and chairs. Goku watches his son. The door suddenly swings shut behind them and they both look back at it momentarily. Gohan takes a few steps forward. "It's so hot." He runs out of the living area and discovers the endless white expanse that had surprised Trunks. The effect is no different on Gohan. Goku walks up to him. They stare out at their new home for the next day...or year. Gohan runs down the stairs. He gasps. Goku smiles and looks around at the area.
