Hours would go by until daylight had arrived, with Broly being the only one that had stayed there the whole time. Gevo and Maria had already left, the two wanting to bond. The legend himself was growing evermore curious about this time chamber, and if Kakarot had gotten a year older Broly must do so as well. The fate that was bestowed upon them must continue and be resulted, but if they weren't the same age than what would be the point to see who's better?

Everyone arriving on time the chamber doors opened with Goku and Chondria walking out, with everyone shocked at the muscle toned android brimming with confidence. Broly looking over his shoulder would feel Kakarot's increased strength, and he absolutely hated it that he was getting closer and closer to him.

The two rivals would glare at each other with their aura's burning like hellfire, Vegeta looking between the two would chuckle to himself catching everyone's attention. Turning to the short saiyan the prince put a thumb to his chest, an expression of pride that everyone had gotten tired of....

"You simply wasted your time Kakarot! Trunks and I will go in next, and when we emerge tomorrow, there will be no need for any of you to go in! I'll kill Cell before he can blink!" The prince announced with Broly and Goku giving him the same expression of disbelief, both knew Vegeta was strong and Trunks was also, but being able to beat Cell?

"I personally think you're a fool Prince.... If we're talking about an ego battle you'd win with no difficulty, but we're talking about an actual battle with a real threat.... And I doubt you and your brat will be able to take Cell on.... I've never met the thing, but if my son is so determent to make me a super saiyan, I know it's something serious...." Bardock would say before heading towards the door, with him passing his son on his way.

"Dad.... Are you sure you can help Gohan? I mean I can't go in there again, but maybe I can go grab mom and she could go in!" Goku asked with Bardock chuckling and crossing his arms, his grandson following along after him Bardock would look over his shoulder as he went through the door.

"The kid needs to learn what it takes to be a saiyan warrior Kakarot, and who else would be better than his grandfather?! Plus your mother's too busy cooking up food and bringing it here, I tried to convince her to come in with me and task Raditz to go in with Gohan, but Raditz is too busy looking into human women right now." The elder said before the door closed, Vegeta growling at his pride getting hit again would turn around.

"Hmph! Not that I NEED to go in there anyway! Bulma is working on a stronger gravity chamber, I have no need to waste time in that ridiculous chamber!" The prince said with Broly smiling behind him, a look of twisted satisfaction spread across his face.

"If you don't need it PRINCE, then why are you even here? What? Is your wife too busy trying to get her dad to build the chamber? Or is she too distracted calling the REAL scientist up? Only for Maja to be spouting off words Bulma needs a dictionary for?" Broly said with Vegeta falling silent, Trunks hearing the clear disrespect went to unsheathe his sword only to get stabbed by Broly glancing eyes.

Pain struck him as he felt his heart stop the moment those eyes met his, the piercing red glow, the sinister grin.... Both saiyans terrified left in a blur with no other words given, Broly smirking crossed his arms and stayed put. He knew he wanted to go in next with Mijalot, and she would be stronger than Kakarot's son! He'd make sure of it, but for now his children were off bonding. He would prefer having Mijalot train, but Maja if she knew of Sixteen would want it that way.

Walking through Satan City park Maria sat on the shoulders of her giant brother, who smiled and talked to her about the many birds they spotted. From ducks, to pigeons, to the occasional raven. Maria was surprised on how much her half brother knew, although she didn't know fully what an android was she assumed he had just been passionate about birds.

"Gevo.... I gotta ask.... What are you exactly?... I know dad said about you being an android, but I don't know what that means?..." Maria asked putting her elbows on his head and resting her chin in her hands, his smile vanishing Sixteen looked at his hand and held his armored wrist.

"My father.... Maki Gero.... Turned me into this.... Son Goku had blown up one of my father's ships in his youth, while I was still inside tending to my parrot.... I was in other world after that, but as soon as I reached the end of the line.... I awoke inside this shell, this mess of organics, components and wires.... I was once a man Maria, but my father refused my rest and has cursed me....

I can no longer rest although my brain tells me to.... I desire food, but cannot eat.... I want to touch, but I cannot feel...." Sixteen said with Maria hopping off his shoulders, hugging the hulking machine Sixteen would look down seeing his sister smiling at him.

"Once we beat Cell, I'll ask mom if she can fix you! She fixes everything!" Maria said with Sixteen returning the expression, the two getting up and leaving the park would continue their walk around the city. Anyone that would dare give the pink girl a judgmental expression, Sixteen would return the expression tenfold.

Walking past a mansion Maria froze and turned towards it, her eyes turning red as she looked at the upper rooms. Gevo stopping in his place would look down confused as his little sister was frozen, the little demon completely motionless besides her breathing.

"Maria, what is the matter? Why are you looking at this building? Did you come here before and have a bad experience?" Gevo would ask as he got on his knee and held his sister's shoulder, Maria regaining herself would rub her head and look up at him.

"I feel a weak ki in that house, and I just feel.... Angry at it? I don't know.... I'll ask dad when we get back, I don't know what my instincts are yet...." Maria said before walking away, with Gevo's sensor going off at the energy he was seeing.

Spending a few more hours in the city both would take flight back to the lookout seeing everyone gone, all except for Broly who was still there by himself. Landing on the paneled floor Maria rushed to her father and hugged his leg, with him giving her a simple pat on her head. He still was learning about being a parent, getting tips from his mother and reluctantly learning from Gine he had basics down for the most part.

"Dad.... I have a question for you...." Broly looking down had a curious look in his eyes, ready to listen Broly would simply nod as Gevo approached the two. "Gevo and I went to Satan City to go watch birds and talk, but we found a mansion and...." Maria was going to continue but Gevo ruffled her hair, letting her know he would finish.

"Maria froze upon seeing the building, with her making a comment about sensing an energy signature.... She as well as I desire to know what happened, to have a reason to avoid going near this location in the future...." Gevo said with Broly raising an eyebrow, stroking his chin the legend hummed to himself as he thought of a reason.

"Hmm.... It could be that whoever that was Mijalot perceived as a threat to herself, so it's nothing to worry about really.... Not that I've experienced it myself, but from what my mother says saiyan children very rarely go through these things during phases.... But Mijalot is a rare saiyan after all, holding the blood of the legendary super saiyan himself.... It's fine...." Broly said shrugging at the situation with Maria smiling, she knew that she would toughen up once she went in the chamber!
------------
Inside the chamber already Bardock had his grandson on the defensive, ducking and blocking Gohan was already sweating from the brute force his grandfather was inflicting and no shot of possibly countering with his own.

It would go on for hours on end until abruptly, Bardock stopped in place with Gohan collapsing on the floor. Panting and holding himself up barely Gohan looked up at his grandfather, however much to Bardock's expectations the boy would get back up on his feet.

"D-Don't you think just because I'm.... Half human.... I'm going to be beaten so easily.... I don't want to fight anyone.... But I will if.... I have to...." Gohan groaned with Bardock looking down at the boy, a smile spread across his face before ruffling the boy's hair and heading back to the main building.

However the boy yelled firing an energy blast at his elder, hitting him right in the back making him jump and look over his shoulder only getting a swift kick to his face. It didn't hurt much but it confirmed in his mind, his grandson was going to be a great saiyan warrior.... Turning back around and cracking his hands Bardock turned super saiyan, sharing the boys expression as he got into fighting position.

"Be warned Junior, you're going to be fighting an expert! And as tradition holds, the elders don't go easy on their young!" Bardock said, "You have gone farther than I have at your age Gohan, don't let your doubts take control.... You are my legacy, you are the future of our race! NOW PROVE TO ME, THAT YOU ARE MY GRANDSON!!"

Launching at each other Gohan had determination clear on his mind, clashing head first Gohan with quick reflexes threw the first punch which didn't do much. But going in Gohan started attacking from all sides, the moment Bardock would block one area Gohan would attack another. Bardock didn't feel much, but the pressure was still on him as his grandson kept pushing himself further.

Time would pass in the chamber with both saiyans pushing themselves to their limits, even to the point where Bardock had to carry his grandson back to rest multiple times. Getting up again after another session Gohan was shaking as he could feel himself getting stronger, but he just couldn't push himself past it....

"Come now Junior, you can't beat Cell lying down on the floor! Get up and lets go again, if you impress me I might teach you one of my moves...." Bardock said with Gohan trying to push himself up, his legs shaking as he struggled to move.

"I-I can't.... I-I'm no saiyan warrior.... I don't want to kill anyone!... I don't want to fight!... I'm only doing this to make everyone proud of me.... Being in a family full of war hungry aliens, I feel like I'm the outcast...." Bardock launching into the sky had one final trick after pulling so many, one final theory to test.

"You listen to me Junior, I was once like you! Tried to get into saiyan science, but it just didn't work for me! BUT just because it didn't work for me, doesn't mean it won't work for you! You can be whomever you want in my opinion, but the only thing I want out of you and same goes for your father and uncle! I want you all to surpass my strength!" Bardock yelled forming a glowing ki ball in his hand, full of his ki before launching a beam straight at Gohan.

Getting up and launching his own Gohan struggled to push against the might of his elder, pushing and putting out all he could he tried his best to awaken his potential. But no matter what he did it just wasn't happening, Bardock sensing the doubt grit his teeth and pushed more.

"All those people out there will eventually depend on you to protect them, Gine and I won't be here forever, Kakarot and Raditz won't be here forever, who is going to be able to protect the earth?! Your father, your uncle, your grandparents, we're all going to die if you don't stop being soft!" Bardock yelled as everything sank in, images going through his mind seeing everyone he's loved killed....

"No.... NO! I will not-! LET THAT HAPPEN!!" A burst of ki went off as Bardock's spirit blast was completely taken over, dodging away from the energy Bardock was met with a punch to his shoulder. Holding his arm and chuckling he smiled with pride as he saw his grandson, finally in super saiyan and was furious in addition.

Landing on the floor and holding his arm the elder breathed in and stretched himself, Gohan collapsing on the ground panted in exhaustion with his grandfather grunting at his arm. Cracking it painfully Bardock walked up to the boy with a smile on his face, getting on his knee and holding out his hand.

"You've made me proud kiddo, and sorry about all that.... I was just testing a theory of mine, and it seems to have worked perfectly...." The elder said as Gohan grabbed his hand, pulling his grandson up Bardock gestured back to the building and began walking back. Gohan flying after him would feel better about himself, he still was sort of against the thought of killing, but in order to save everyone....

"If I fight Cell, no holding back.... Everyone will depend on me...."
---------
After fighting off the Japanese military and constructing his tournament ring. Cell would stand around thinking about these other memories. Recalling that Goku would be the only one fighting him, till he'd give up and let his son fight. Things would go on for awhile till Cell stomped on Sixteen's head, then Gohan would ascend farther and cause Cell to self destruct, then come back and get killed again.

Not wanting the same events to happen he had to make sure not to destroy Sixteen, also make more Cell Jr's with all the added baggage that Goku was having with him. A smile spread across his face before a shadowy figure appeared behind him, Turles groaning at the thought of doing this really irritated him.

"I can't believe that my boss keeps telling me to give away all these fruits, I found the seeds in the first place so they belong to me!... But no, I gotta be the fruit delivery guy for all these bad guys...." Turles groaned as Cell turned around, quite surprised seeing how visually similar this saiyan was compared to Goku.

"I know what you're going to say, so don't waste your breath.... Planet Vegeta's lower class saiyans gene pool is very small, or at least the time where I'm from.... Just take the blasted thing already...." Turles groaned and tossed the red spiky fruit into Cell's hand, "Appreciate that the fruit's freshly grown, and that Zebira wants you to do your job! Oh, and don't eat the whole thing.... Last idiot ate the entire thing and almost blew up.... Just take a bite of it and crush it...."

The lone saiyan said before turning his back to Cell and flying off back into the mountains, Cell looking at the spiky fruit scoffed at it in annoyance. Not only bitter that the woman rigged chemical bombs inside him, but now she wants him to eat this thing?

"I fail to understand what her end game is.... Hmph.... Well if that saiyan got as strong as he did just by eating these, I guess it wouldn't do me much harm.... Only though, I am the perfect being anyway.... I have no use for such a useless food item...." Cell thought to himself before throwing the thing into the distance, flying across the planet it would crash into Vomi's kitchen window with her peeking out her bedroom doorway.

The human woman leaning over and picking up the fruit looked at it with curiosity, hearing about the described fruit from Broly due to Colli's current recovery Vomi hummed to herself as she adjusted her glasses. Opening a secret doorway into her secret lab Vomi sat down with a bunch of dissecting tools on her desk, feeling the pulsing sensation of the fruit and the corrupted energy inside made her curious.

"Hey! Here's an idea, kinda screwy but how about we try modifying the fruit?! Yeah sure this thing has evil energy in it, but we could lessen its effects to where it could be like a slight boost! I mean I doubt anyone's going to eat this stuff, but Colli might like it?!" Vomi's dark thoughts came back in full as her left eye flickered red and twitched, covering her right eye Vomi tried to hold back her desire.

But much like her past life, her scientific mind craved all knowledge throughout the universe.... She was still a massive nerd despite being so powerful; grabbing her tools and a pair of gloves Vomi took a deep breath and began her work. Cutting the stem off and rolling over to her microscope, she inspected the genetic makeup of the fruit.

Finding such corrupted energy and fine detail she already knew this was going to be harder than making androids, but her evil side and growing curiosity was winning her over. Rolling over to her freezer she looked through her samples of other fruit seeds, having them from her meal experiments she went through apples, melons, banana, lemon and everything else.

Relating the saiyans to monkey's on earth she felt bad, but Broly's reaction to banana's convinced her it was probably the best idea. Plucking a seed out of the fruit itself, she went on to start combining the tree of might with other fitting fruits.

"Let's make this have nutritional value, a lovely taste, and of course.... Let's make sure our mother in law doesn't explode if she eats the whole thing." Vomi thought to herself as a devious smirk spread across her face.
