Cell Series
After the vicious battle against
Freeza, our heroes enter the age of Cell... After years of anguish from a defeat that took
place decades ago, Dr. Gero continues to plot revenge against the character who destroyed
Red Ribbon and ruined him- Goku. Android #19 is the first of a series of creations to
destroy Goku. Along with the scheme, Dr. Gero requests Android #19 to make him into a
cyborg so that he would become stronger, and this bears witness of the transformation of
Dr. Gero to Android #20. The Z Warriors meet with Androids #19 and #20 and the two sides
engage in battle. Goku leaves the battle while Vegeta faces Android #19. The android is
destroyed and Dr. Gero is shattered. Despite the grave defeat, Dr. Gero's cybernetic
programming enables him to self-repair, so that he may live to fight again. Android #20
then works on developing a better android model. Meanwhile, he unleashes two of his other
creations, Android #17 and Android #18. Androids #17 and #18 get annoyed of Dr. Gero. As a
result, Android #17 kills Dr. Gero. But, the doctor had just finished creating Android
#21, who is still developing in a giant test tube. Before he dies, he issues the final
command to his new android to feast on the rebellionous androids. Android #17 and Android
#18 leave the lab and unleash Android #16. But as it turns out, Android #16 is a peaceful
android. (This can be shown through his love towards the wild animals.) As time passes,
the Z Warriors become aware of the new androids as they battle again and again but always
reach a stalemate. However, the Z Warriors are still not match for the androids because
the androids are robots, and therefore do not tire in a long battle while the Z Warriors
eventually run out of energy. Goku suffers a heart attack in one battle and retreats.
Trunks, who was sent back in time by future Bulma with medicine to heal Goku's heart so
that Goku would live to kill the androids and thus change the future, gives Goku the
medicine. Goku is saved, but the Saiyans still do not continue to fight the androids.
Instead, they train in a chamber to get stronger. Meanwhile, Piccolo fuses with Kami, his
half father, to become stronger (His story is told in the Dragonball series.) Dende, a
Namek child, replaces Kami as guardian of the dragonballs. Androids #16, #17, and #18 go
to seek Goku to destroy him. Piccolo finds the androids first and begins to fight them.
Back in Dr. Gero's lab, Cell has finished developing and breaks out of the giant
"test tube", promising to fulfill his creator's wish. Cell flies to find
Androids #17 and #18. On his way devours the souls of the unlucky civilians he passes to
become stronger. Finally, he meets with the other androids. To our heroes' surprise, they
learn that Androids #17 and #18 know nothing about Cell. Cell and Android #17 threaten to
kill each other. Android #17 heads out to fight him. But, he does not stand up to Cell and
is easily defeated. This is when our heroes learn the great powers of Cell. Android #18 is
now worried, but Android #16 flies out to fight Cell. To everybody's amazement, Android
#16 is able to stand up to Cell. However, he is still destroyed. Cell now heads for his
goal and devours Android #17 with his tail. Cell now changes into Cell--form 2. With the
power of Android #17 combined to his, he becomes stronger than ever. Then, he heads over
to devour Android #18. Android #18 tries to escape, but she is still eventually devoured.
Cell now changes into Cell form 3, and becomes "Perfect Cell" Cell, after
devouring the souls of so many people, is no longer an android and becomes organic. After
Cell is gone, Bulma collects the body parts of Android #16 and repairs him. Android 16 is
re-programmed to fight on the Z Warriors' side. Our heroes now head out to fight Cell, and
Android #16 is once again destroyed. Cell grows strong enough and reproduces. From his
body come 7 Cell Juniors, miniature blue duplicates of Cell. With the death of Android 16,
an enraged teenage Gohan powers up and reaches Super Saiyan level 2. Gohan then destroys
all the Cell Juniors and fights Cell. In a following battle, Cell is kicked and Android
#18 is spit back out. (She is unconscious.) Cell turns back into form 2 and is defeated.
But, he activates his self destruction mode so that when he dies, the world will blow up
with him. To save the Earth, Goku teleports Cell out of Earth and into Kaiou's planet,
where Cell blows up. Thus, Goku, Kaiou, Bubbles, and Gregory die as well. The Z Warriors
mourn the loss of Goku, but cheer at the victory over Cell at the same time. A fireball
flies out of nowhere and pierces through Trunks. Upon Trunks' death, Cell, in form 3,
appears. He tells that when he blew up, a brain cell survived. From the cell, other cells
multiplied and he was once again formed. Cell happily laughs as he tells that he is amazed
he is able to rebuild himself into form 3! Then, Cell threatens to destroy the earth. Now
it is up to Gohan to try to save our planet. With one arm (the other injured when he went
to let a fireball meant for Vegeta hit him), Gohan prepares a fireball. He fires at Cell
and Cell fires back. A stalemate is meant, but with Kaiou's help, Goku is able to talk to
Gohan and encourages him. Meanwhile, Krillin protects the unconscious Android #18 and
Yamcha, Tenshin-han, and Vegeta attack Cell in hope that this will Gohan distract Cell.
With the help of the now dead Kaiou, Goku, also dead, is able to communicate with Gohan
and encourages him to use all his power to defeat Cell. Gohan overpowers Cell and Cell is
disintegrated by Gohan's fireball. (But, Sataan takes credit for Cell's death because of
his lies to the reporters.) At the end, the warriors gather the dragonballs to bring those
killed by Cell back to life. However, Gokou is still dead because he was already brought
back to life once and cannot come back again, but tells that he is okay and is now with
Kaiou. Android #18 awakens and flees. However, everybody learns here that Krillin has
develped a crush on Android #18! At the end of this series, there is a short memorial
about the life of Goku.
Notes:
Dr. Gero is angry at Goku because Goku destroyed Red Ribbon, the
military corporation Dr. Gero worked for, when Goku was just a kid. Dr. Gero was a
character from Dragonball.
Tao Pai-Pai also makes an appearance in this series. He built a fort and
charged people to hide in it. He claimed that it would protect them from Cell. Gohan
easily destroyed this building and Tao Pai-Pai fled away once again.
Cell is really from the future. In Future Trunks's timeline, Cell killed
Trunks and stole his time machine to travel back into the timeline we know of.
