Chapter 54 - Mysterious Lady Talks The Talk

"Feel it in your chest area. Do you feel that hidden tremendous power? Push it towards the top of your spine. Let it invigorate it within and once you feel like it is at the limit, let it burst and become a Super Saiyan."

"GAAA AHH!"

The air around Bulla started to become so intense, that you can see the air change in pressure. Her hair started to flow wildly defying gravity as per the norm. Her long blue locks that have been maintained even in the simple lifestyle inside of the chamber.

Those long blue locks that she tried so hard to keep the same started to flash in and out of blonde. She felt her S-cells accumulating on the top of her spine. There were so many that she felt like her back was about to explode from the pressure but then she felt it.

She didn't know what was the indicator, it was something within her. One last push and the S-Cells burst from their bubble becoming active and circulating around her body giving her new strength. Her hair and eyes changed colors in addition to her newfound transformation.

Looking over to her left, her dad and Gohan, who was already a Super Saiyan, achieving it the day before, were looking at her with satisfaction and pride respectively.

"Good job Bulla, both you and Gohan have achieved Super Saiyan at the age of 8!" Although getting it 2 years before the intended time may not seem like a long time, but it really is a testament to how much stronger they are to get it so young.

Bulla went up to a mirror that resided in the chamber and started to inspect herself with blonde hair, Twirling around to catch all the angles, she was quite enamored with the new look.

"Maybe I could ask mom if I could dye my hair permanently. No...she would kill me! Maybe highlights?"

"Enough of that Bulla. We are going to use the last month of this year for you two to get used to your Super Saiyan forms until you feel as if it is part of your body."

"But Dad, why didn't you do this? I never see you as a Super Saiyan."

"That's because I already did it in Yardrat."

"Oh Dad, Dad! I have a question."

'These kids have too many questions.'

"Go for Gohan."

"I always wondered why are we unlocking the Super Saiyan form first? This form is 5x times more powerful than the Ape form but we haven't unlocked it yet."

"Yeah! This form is better! Why should we unlock the Ape form if we have this form?"

"That's a great question actually. Transforming mainly has to do with how powerful you are, and therefore a direct relationship with S-Cells. Have enough of those and any Saiyan can become a Super Saiyan. The Ape form however goes against the true nature of modern Saiyans. The further you are a 'modern Saiyan', the further you will be to achieve the Ape form. As you noticed, you two already calmed your Oozaru and almost reach the form while Vegeta can control it but can barely calm himself. As to why you should strive to unlock it, it has many more uses than meets the eye."

After that little lesson, they got back to training their newly acquired forms. Of course, Bulla was a little distracted thinking if she would still look cute even in her Ape form.

"Y-You! It can't be you! You are supposed to be dead!"

Back at the scene where Android 20 was faced off with a horde of androids, he was stuttering as if he could not believe for a second what was before his eyes.

"Oh Husband, show a little more compassion would you~ Oh wait, should I even call you that? You are just a metal doll that looks and act like him. I guess Android 20 would be more aptly suit."

Long brown hair, with large strands of it curling like a tree. There was one strand right between her eyes that she brushed away to reveal grayish-blue eyes underneath her glasses. With an arrogant posture to go along with her lab coat and simple shirt, she had a wild and fiery temperament surrounding her.

"Hmph, enough with the love affair 21, you promised us when you released us that you would let us destroy this old fart." 18 was getting impatient and was ready to pounce at her prey.

"Wait a minute 18, I also want a piece of the action." 17 and 18 gave the vibe opposite of 21 even though they were both androids. Frosty auras eluded from their skin, piercing anyone who comes close.

Meanwhile, 16 was looking at the scenery in the back with no emotion.

All this stalling allowed the Saiyans to catch up and they heard most of the conversation that has already taken place.

An enemy of my enemy is my friend? Not always. They may just be a bigger enemy.

"Y-You still haven't told me how you are alive?! You also released my other androids and what is that green monstrosity?"

"Oh my~ You don't even recognize your own creation? This is Cell. Cell in his perfect form!"

"Preposterous! Cell is still in an egg at an underground facility! And perfect? Don't make me laugh! He needs to absorb 17 and 18 to become 'perfect'."

17 and 18 looked at 21 for an explanation and she did not just come up with one, but several.

"Did you think that I died what happened? I survived and managed to rebuild myself into an android losing my memories as a consequence. What I do remember of you however is your lack of intellect compared to the top minds like Briefs. Just one look at your schematics, I was able to fully redo Cell in a way that he would absorb more power than normal from living beings and when met with a certain threshold, is able to increase his form. I even made 17 and 18 stronger before releasing them from their prison."

18 and 17 seemed satisfied with that response while Android 20 had a look of shame and unadulterated horror.

Backed up against a rock and a hard place, he did the only thing he could think of. The energy that he stole from Vegeta started to swell inside of his body. He was going to go out with a bang. A big bang.

That was what he thought until his head was separated from his body. The same thing happened to his torso as his three body segments started to fall down to the ground. 17 and 18 looked at the Dr. in disgust.

Finished with what they wanted, they were actually quite lost. They didn't plan this far and decided to stick around to see the confrontation of the two parties.

"You two are who Kakarrot told us about that kidnapped people everywhere! Where are they and what did you do to them?"

"Heh, those humans? They were nice food for my belly is all." Cell laughed feeling more and more conceited in his perfect form.

"I have a special ability to turn people into food. However, if they are weak enough, I could manipulate the technique to turn them into basically anything I want as long as it isn't too extreme. We hold the people captive as objects so they can continuously give us their ki. One time, a girl infiltrated our base to rescue the people that we have captive, unfortunately, I needed a more comfortable pair of panties~"

"So the people are still alive..." Caulifla whispered to herself. She was excited to tell Goku the good news, but she had to get out of his situation first.

"Vegeta was it? The Prince of Saiyans? What a measly fellow. I who have the cells of all the most powerful fighters on Earth will be the true ruler of this Universe!"

"What was that?"

Vegeta being the hot-head he is didn't take that insult lightly. It's not like he could let them escape anyways after such a bold claim. Using ki on his feet for extra speed, he initiated the fight against Cell.

He started with a full vertical rotation to kick Cell's neck. He landed it so he kept ongoing. Rotating horizontally this time, another kick lashed out to connect with Cell's cheek. A rain of punches followed to bring up dirt from the floor they were standing on.

Something was strange and he knew it, but the easiness and euphoria from the simple battle made him overlook it. He soon understood why when Cell appeared unharmed when the dust settled. An impact on his left cheek came out of nowhere and Vegeta got launched into a mountain next to were 17 and 18 were observing the match.

"That is the best you got?! I bet Son Goku will be no different! After I absorb him I will absorb the rest on this planet and travel the stars!"

"Did you say absorb Goku? Like I will let you! Let's go, Kale, let's beat this bozo out of commission."

"Sure thing sis!"
