Goku had brought Gohan and the others to a rge ptform that seemed to be floating in the air, there was nothing but clear blue sky surrounding them. The ptform had white squared tiles, some trees, some weird looking pnts that smelled like a skunk. There were four columns with saucer shaped things on top of them around three dome buildings, there was a walkway leading to the main building. One of the buildings was three stories tall and the others were two stories tall all three buildings were white some gold parts to them.

  “This is the lookout.” Goku said to the others, “It’s where Mr. Popo and Kami live, and where we can train.”

  Once Goku expined this, Mr. Popo appeared, out of nowhere, “Follow me.” He said before leading the group down a white corridor to a door, “Here it is the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.” Mr. Popo said gesturing to a door.

  “Didn’t you tell me before it was called the Room of Spirt and Time?” Goku asked

  “I told you that, because you kept mispronouncing it.” Mr. Popo said looking at Goku

  “Oh, that makes sense.” Goku said rubbing the back of his head smiling

  “Inside this room time moves at 365.24 times this dimension, in simple terms one day out here equals one year in there. Only two of you can go in at a time so decide now.” Mr. Popo said opening the door and looking at the group.

  “Wait… why didn’t Krillin and the others use it to train against the saiyans, also why didn’t we use it to train against the androids?” Gohan asked looking at his dad

  “I had them do… other training.” Mr. Popo said with a smile, “Also, they more than likely would have not survived, I sent your father in there once before when he was a kid.”

  “Yeah, I almost died…haha.” Goku said chuckling

  “Well, me and Trunks are going in first then like you promised Kakarot.” Vegeta said walking towards the room.

  “There’s should be enough food for the two of you… one more thing, don’t break my stuff.” Mr. Popo said looking straight into Vegeta’s eyes before closing the door.

  “Mr. Popo are you ok… you don’t seem like yourself.” Goku asked looking at Mr. Popo, who just looked at Goku with a bnk look.

  --

  While they were waiting around for Vegeta and Trunks to leave the Time Chamber, Gohan and the others were sitting around, “Wait… dad you said that only two people can enter the Chamber but there are three of us here. Who’s going to go in with who?” Gohan asked

  “No, it’s possible for one person to enter if they want to, but it’s dangerous for them, the room isn’t something for people to take lightly. Also, I can also change the rules to the Chamber like allowing more than two people to enter, but there won’t be enough food for the entire year especially with how you saiyan’s eat.” Mr. Popo said looking at Gohan

  “Oh, wow that’s amazing Mr. Popo.” Gohan said looking at Mr. Popo in surprise

  “…hmm… thanks kid.” Mr. Popo said looking at Gohan

  “I didn’t know you could do that Mr. Popo.” Goku said looking at Mr. Popo

  “… There’s a lot you don’t know about me.” Mr. Popo said looking at Goku.

  “So, Kakarot what are we going do then?” Raditz asked looking at Goku

  “Well, we can—” Goku said looking at Raditz when they felt Piccolo’s power level start rising. “It looks like Piccolo is fighting someone… he must be fighting the androids, since I can’t sense a second power level.” Goku said

  “What can we do dad?” Gohan asked

  “We, can’t do anything but wait right now, we’re too weak and if we go down there, we will only get in Piccolo’s way.” Goku said standing up and pcing a hand on Gohan’s shoulder. “We just have to hope that he wins or that he is able to hold out until Vegeta and Trunks finish their training.”

  “Their time is almost up, they have about 4 more hours left so they should be exiting the Chamber soon, he just needs to hold on until their time is up.” Mr. Popo said looking at Gohan

  “Alright, I will wait.” Gohan sighed as he sat back down.

  --

  Gohan had his eyes closed as he tried to sense what was going on with Piccolo’s fight, but he was having difficulty, since he could only sense Piccolo and not the android. Gohan could tell that Piccolo was doing his best by the amount of power Piccolo was releasing.

  “Piccolo is putting out a lot of energy, I don’t know if he can win.” Goku said, “Hopefully he can hold off the android until Trunks and Vegeta exit the Chamber.” Goku said looking worried as he gnced at a clock that was above the door to the Chamber.

  “Come on Piccolo, hold on… you have to.” Gohan muttered to himself

  The fight between Piccolo and the android continued for a few more hours, as Gohan watched the clock above the door to the Chamber counting the minutes until Trunks and Vegeta would exit.

  “…Wait dad if we can sense Piccolo than that means that Cell can too, and Cell will know that Piccolo is fighting against the androids. He might be on his way to try and absorb them.” Gohan said as he stood up looking at his dad

  “…It seems like we’re too te.” Raditz said as they felt Cell’s power heading towards where Piccolo was fighting the android.

  “We have to do something dad we can’t let Cell absorb the androids.” Gohan said standing in front of his Goku who was sitting down cross legged.

  “I know how you feel son… I wish it was me down there, instead of Piccolo, but there is nothing we can do. This is the hardest thing I’ve had to do… even after all the battles I’ve been in, it kills me to just sit here and do nothing knowing I’m not strong enough to help.” Goku said looking at Gohan and then to the clock above the door to the Chamber. “But we have to wait, we would only get in Piccolo’s way, if we try and help him.”

  Gohan started pacing back and forth in front of his dad, worried about what would happen once Cell got to Piccolo, which happened very quickly. Gohan and the others felt Cell power up and they sensed how much stronger he has become over the st few days.

  “This is very bad, Piccolo doesn’t stand a chance especially after his fight with the android, he has used up too much energy.” Raditz said worried as he looked up at the clock above the door to the Chamber. “Hurry up Vegeta.”

  Gohan, Goku, and Raditz felt Piccolo start fighting Cell, before Piccolo powered up again and then they felt his power level drop drastically, “PICCOLO!!!” Gohan shouted as he tried flying to help him but was stopped by Goku as he grabbed him by his ankle.

  “Gohan calm down there is nothing we can do.” Goku said as he struggled to stop Gohan

  “LET GO I’M GOING TO KILL HIM!!!” Gohan shouted as he transformed into a Super Saiyan and broke free from Goku’s grasp and flew away.

  “Gohan there’s nothing you can do to help him!” Goku said as he tried to punch Gohan who dodged the attack and tried to fly away again.

  Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan and then appeared behind grabbing Gohan from behind stopping Gohan, but he was still having trouble stopping Gohan. “Raditz… help me!” Goku said as he struggled to hold Gohan back

  Raditz looked like he broke out of a trance and turned into a Super Saiyan as well and helped Goku stop Gohan, “Calm down Gohan think of Piccolo he wouldn’t want you to throw your life away for nothing.” Raditz said as he and Goku struggled to stop Gohan. “I know how you feel Gohan, I want to kill Cell too… Piccolo is my friend too but if we rush down there then all we will end up doing is dying alongside him.”

  “…fine…” Gohan said as he transformed back to normal as he started crying, “Piccolo.”

  “I know how you both feel… Gohan; Piccolo would want you to finish your training that’s why he fought the androids to buy us time, don’t let his sacrifice go to waste.” Goku said as he started getting angry.

  “… ok dad.” Gohan said as he wiped his tears and clenched his fist in anger

  “What’s taking Vegeta so long?” Raditz said as he stopped pacing to looking at the door to the Chamber.

  Gohan, Goku, and Raditz could only wait as they sensed Cell had started fighting someone new, “Cell must be fighting one of the androids, I can only sense one power level.” Raditz said as he sat down again sounding a little hopeful.

  “Yeah, hopefully whoever they are can hold off Cell until Trunks and Vegeta exit the Chamber.” Goku said looking at the clock

  After, awhile they felt Cell’s power level rise drastically, “He must have absorbed one of the androids.” Raditz said standing up looking worried

  They soon felt Tien start fighting Cell, “What’s he doing, he’s just going to end up dying.” Goku said as he stood back up.

  “He must be trying to stall Cell.” Raditz said as they felt Tein power level rise.

  “He’s using way too much energy; he can’t keep this up, he’s going to die at this rate!” Goku said worriedly

  “… Cell must have only absorbed one android so Tien must be buying time for the other android to escape.” Gohan said after thinking for a bit.

  “That must be the only expnation.” Raditz said looking at Gohan

  “He’s going to die… soon.” Mr. Popo said as Tien’s power level started dropping rapidly.

  “Dad isn’t there anything you can do?” Gohan asked

  “No… I can’t get there in time to help…” Goku said before he teleported

  “Where did Kakarot go?” Raditz asked

  “He went to help your friend.” Mr. Popo said

  “I should try and learn that move.” Gohan said

  “Yeah, it seems like a very useful move.” Raditz said looking at Gohan

  Goku, soon appeared on the lookout carrying Piccolo and Tien, “Piccolo.” Gohan ran to check on them

  “They need a senzu bean Gohan, go get some from Korin, he lives below the lookout.” Goku said

  “Ok dad.” Gohan said as he flew off the lookout and headed down until he found Korin waiting for him on a rge saucer shaped ptform that was sitting on a rge pilr.

  “Here you go kid.” Korin said as he tossed Gohan some senzu beans.

  “Thank you.” Gohan said before he flew back up reaching the lookout as he gave the senzu beans to Piccolo and Tien, who got better after eating them.

  “Man, we really should learn how to grow those.” Tein said as he stood up and stretched.

  “You did good Tien but, that was just deying the inevitable, we need something more if we want to stop Cell, he’s a lot stronger than all of us right now.” Piccolo said looking at them.

  “Hopefully, I bought us some time, Cell should have a hard time finding the st android since he can’t sense them.” Tien said looking at Piccolo

  “Yeah, but it won’t be long until he finds her… and there’s no telling the destruction he will cause trying to find her.” Piccolo said.

  “We just have to wait for Vegeta and Trunks to exit the Chamber.” Goku said looking towards the building where the Time Chamber is.

  “Your friends time is up they should be coming out now.” Mr. Popo said as he walked towards them.

  “About time.” Raditz said as he looked up at Mr. Popo and then to the group

  “Alright, let’s go.” Goku said as the group walked, towards the Chamber.
