"Assault"
[Goku, the hero of Earth born as a Saiyan on Planet Vegeta. Z-Fighter.]
[Gohan, the son of Goku born and raised on Earth. Z-Fighter.]
[Piccolo, the second mentor of Gohan, born on Planet Namek. Z-Fighter.]
In seemingly the middle of nowhere, a small army of little bug-like creatures appear and begin attacking the Z-Fighters. Goku starts making guesses as to who these things are. "They've gotta be mutated flies. Or maybe wasps. Or... beetles?"
Annoyed, Piccolo tries to stay on the subject. "Why don't we just focus on beating them, and you can figure out what they are later, when I'm not here?"
"Fine, fine," Goku replied disappointed. "But who sent them here?"
"More like who is sending them here," said Gohan. "Every time we get rid of one, they come right back within ten seconds!"
"I can fix that problem," Piccolo said through a smirk. He then began charging ki, and shortly after released a massive explosion-like burst of energy, blowing everything and everyone around him away. "Before you ask, I might consider teaching you that sometime."
Out of nowhere, a voice started talking. A rather high voice at that. "That'd be almost as good as leaving some action for me every once in a while!" The voice was none other than Pan. "It'd be something really nice to do."
[Pan, daughter of Vegeta, born and rasied on Earth. Z-Fighter.]
"Sorry, Pan, but you just gotta get here sooner!" Gohan sheepishly admitted, almost as an excuse. Pan replied, "Well, excuuuse me, but I haven't mastered flying." Goku then put his hand on Pan's shoulder to encourage her. "We can carry you next time if you want. How's that sound?"
Suddenly another voice intruded in. "So sad. Is the poor little Saiyan feeling left out? Don't you worry. I will put you out of your misery right now!" As the voice was speaking, a figure walked out to reveal itself as Dr. Gero, who had finally come out of hiding.
Goku cautiously walked towards Gero. "May I ask who you are?"
The doctor immediately fired a Ki blast at Goku, who deflected it away. "It would be pointless to tell you as you are about to die."
Gohan then asked, "What do you want with us? What did we do to y-- Oh, never mind. It's those weird bug things, isn't it?"
"OF COURSE IT'S THOSE WEIRD BUG THINGS!" the doctor yelled. "Those are my creations, the Cell Army: composed of thousands of Cells, they will be unstoppable under the proper leadership in the field. And I obviously can't have you getting in the way of my plans."
Dr. Gero proceeded to charge and fire several giant blasts of Ki at the Z-Fighters, while keeping a crazed, maniacal look on his face. "MUAHAHA! NOW do you see?! NOW do you feel my TRUE POWER?! This is the limit!! BEYOND THE LIMIT! I AM THE STRONGEST IN THE UNIVERSE!!"
He ceased fire, and after the smoke cleared, Gero found a green hand grabbing his shoulder. "So..." Piccolo said, as he seemingly appeared from nowhere. "That all you got?" The other three Z-Fighters also flew down from above. "You're not very nice, are you, gramps?" said Pan.
Gero's eyes could see, but his mind could not comprehend. He then turned around and stormed off into the distance. "Fine. I will add these calculations to the database and continue my ultimate project," he said.
Piccolo stared curiously at Dr. Gero, and couldn't help but ask. "What might that 'ultimate project' be?"
Gero continued to walk away. However, he stopped briefly to reply, "Let's just say the Cell Army is imperfect." After saying this, he disappeared in a flash of light along with the defeated Cells.
Goku looked at the ground while thinking. "What do you think he meant?" he said. Piccolo replied, "Bah, who knows? We'll just wait him out." "I suppose. In that case, let's go train!"
Gohan's stomach growled. "Can we get some dinner first? I'm starving..." he said.
The first encounter with Dr. Gero proved to be fateful, and there is much more yet to come. Will the evil scientist's ultimate plan be enough to defeat the Z-Fighters? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, the evil tyrant Frieza has set his sights on the Planet Earth, and his army with him. What will the outcome be of these upcoming dangers?
