Time Warp 19

We met up with Piccolo and Gohan again, well after I used the healing ability I'd gained from both Piccolo himself and King Cold to heal Bulla and regenerated the damage I'd taken myself.

And from there, once I dispelled all my clones we flew over to where my memories told me the remains of Gero's lab was.

"So..this is where they were made huh?" Gohan mused as we touched down atop the levelled out tip of what was once a mountain.

"Yeah looks like the main lab was destroyed though," I hummed, looking around. The more things change, the more they stay the same huh? "Here." I said, walking over to the centre of it, where there was a pair of large rusted silver doors.

I kicked them off their hinges, letting them fall to the bottom with a massive bang, revealing a set of ladders that went all the way down.

I hopped in and free fell down, the other three following behind me. When I got to the bottom and made my way inside the sub lab, it was incredibly dark. The only light coming from flashing pods and computer lights.

"A sub lab, how cliche." Bulla snorted.

I paused as I was making my way through towards the far end. There, on the wall were a multitude of human sized, coffin-like capsules.

13. 14. 15. 16. And even 19. Those were the numbers labelled on them. And through the green windows on them, I could make out the vague shadow of humanoid heads.

"Tch, you were right huh?" Piccolo grunted as he stopped beside me and stared at them, "So there really were other androids, and these 13 and 16 are apparently even stronger than these two pieces of trash huh?" he asked, gesturing to the android in his arm that he was carrying around like a sack of garbage.

"Yep, but they're not active now," I smirked. It should be simple for Bulma to reprogram them, "Besides, they shouldn't be anywhere near a threat to Gohan now, or you really considering how much your power is growing."

"I suppose so." Piccolo grunted once more, and fell in line with me as we continued on.

Finally, at the end of the lab, right beside the huge computer mainframe, I found what we were looking for. A huge glass tube filled with green liqiuid that reminded me of my gestation pod as a baby. And within it...was floated a huge green cicada like insectoid creature, the size of a full grown man.

And it was staring right at us with bright, fear filed, slit crimson red eyes. Huh, he's already conscious.

"So this is Cell?" Gohan hummed in interest as he made his way over to the tube.

"..Not exactly impressive to look at is he?" Bulla snorted.

"You'd be surprised." I laughed lightly as I walked over and placed my hand on the massive glass tube. When I did, I could finally sense him. It was odd really It felt like I was sensing so many people I knew clumped together. Oddly, I could even sense myself. Not Goku, but my actual self.

It's only been like half a day or so since I got here. How the hell did Gero's little machines get my cells implanted within Cell already?

Well I'll give the creepy old fuck this much, he's real competent when it comes to his machines.

Hmm.

Wanna know something interesting about ki? The more and more skilled you became with it, the easier it was to sense it, and the more you could pick up the general nature of people through their ki.

Cell, even in this form is strong. Almost as strong as Bulla. But...he's filled with maliciousness. Even reprogramming him will be impossible now since he's actually fully awake. He can't move right now, but I can sense his panic. I can feel his ki growing bit by bit. Tiny, tiny amounts, but this water he's within, it's facilitating his growth. I'm assuming it will continue as such until he's strong enough to reach his Imperfect Form, and then he'll be able to break out.

Luckily, he's so weak in comparison to me right now, that I can deal with this easily enough. I pushed my fingers into the glass of the massive liquid filled tube and gripped hard. A moment later, it shattered loudly into millions of pieces.

As soon as it did, Cell began to shriek in fear as the water splashed to the ground. I wrapped my hand around the huge bugs throat and lifted him into the air.

"..Kakarot what are you doing?" Gohan asked, frowning at me.

"He's full of evil, he can't be reprogrammed at this point," I shrugged, "I'm getting rid of inherent evil ingrained into him by Gero and giving him a blank slate to start clean." I added, before he could let nay of that moral shonen nonsense get in the way.

There were many techniques I'd picked up from the information I'd gotten from Shenron. So, so many I probably couldn't list them all. But one specifically I got from both Kami and Piccolo was called Fission. It was what allowed the Nameless Namekian to split himself into two beings, one good and one evil.

Usually, I would not be able to apply that to anything but myself. But, I know everything of the Yardrats techniques that Son Goku and Cooler had learned. And you need to be able to effect others with your own ki through Spirit Control to take them along with you when using Instant Transmission. Cooler even, used Spirit control in conjunction with the Ultra Form and his Bio Armour to create his new final form, the one he used to vastly surpass his brother Frieza.

With this knowledge, I can apply Fission to other people. 'Well, so long as they lack the strength to put up a fight against me.' I mused. I wouldn't be doing this for every evil person I came across. But Cell right now, while I know what he could possibly do in the future and is filled with malice, has not actively committed any sins.

Enhancing my ki and control to the very limit, I spread my ki through Cell and mentally grasped onto the the malice filling him. I followed that malice to the core, that which it originated from, that which filled him with the desire to cause pain and suffering.

And I trapped it within a bubble of my ki. And then I pulled.

A moment later, I lowered Cell gently back down as dark, evil ki surged out of his form like smoke into a sphere of ki within my hand, bit by bit as I dragged it out of Cell, his power followed suit and dropped dramatically. When I was done, he had only a mere tenth of the strength he had before.

'Hmmm.' I eyed it. I could destroy it. But...I have a better idea.

I lifted my other hand and created a portal to my personal dimension. Reaching through, I grabbed one of the fruit from one of the Tree of Might and pulled it out, closing the portal.

Then, using applications from the Mafuba, I brought the evil ki of Cell together with the fruit and sealed it within the fruit. The orange fruit darkened from a bright orange, to a muddy brown.

"....Did...did you just?" Piccolo gaped at me, eyes wide in shock.

"What the fuck did you just do?" Bulla asked.

In reply, I merely tossed her the fruit. "Here you go, eat up, this should give you a massive power boost." I replied with a grin.

It probably said a lot about how much Bulla already trusted me that she merely shrugged after catching it, and took a massive bite out of it, followed by a second, and then it was gone. And her aura of ki exploded into existence around her as her power rose by more than half.

Damn am I good or what?
