Me: Okay, it's been a long time since I last wrote a story. But today, I'm going to make a Zero and Cell fiction(don't get me wrong, I'm not shipping them.). Also, I'm going to get things to be interesting, and there will be some characters in addition to the main two. So thanx to everyone who supported me up until now.

Vegeta: Would you stop blabbing and get to the story already, you stupid woman?!

Zero: Vegeta! That's not a way to treat a lady! (turns to me)I'm sorry about this.

Me(sweatdrop): No problem at all. Anyway, I do not own the characters. Dbz, Egyxos, Shippu! Iron Leaguer, Megaman x and all other characters belong to their rightful owners.

Vegeta: Here she goes blabbing again.

Zero: Vegeta.(gives him a death glare)

Vegeta: ...

Cell(suddenly enters): Well, Vegeta is right about something, the disclaimer took you quite long. But it would be better if he had done this. (kisses the back of my hand)Could you start the main plot, please?

Me(blush really hard): O-Okay. Since you've asked nicely. Alright, let's get started, folks! Hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 1: Memories

The night was cool and silent. The pitch dark sky was lit by the silver rays of the moon. Near the lake in Iron Earth's mountains, a tall figure was standing there thinking. He had china white skin with purple and golden strips on his face, green armor on his body with black long bug wings on his back, and a green helmet on his head. He was thinking about his memories with a certain Saiyan. No, not that cocky prince who keeps talking about his pride all the time, not his son with the long purple hair who he had killed easily once, not that goofy overconfident fool who just walked away and made his son continue his battle, and certainly not the boy who killed him and sent him to Hell. No, he wasn't thinking about any of these Saiyans. His thoughts were focused on a blonde long-haired Saiyan who is also a maverick hunter.

'He could have let me die.', he thought and reminisced the time when he was imperfect and Kanjer almost destroyed him until that blonde young man stood in his way, 'Why would he do that? Why would he spare my life? He could have just let Alpha destroy me for good, but he didn't. Why?', he thought. Then, he closed his magenta eyes and began to remember the evets that happened between him and that kid.

Flashback 1*

A green creature with a long tail, pink snake eyes and orange mouth was laying in a cave since there was a snow storm outside. From all places on Earth, this island had to be freezing. Not only that. Also, Alexander Omega the legendary Prince of Chaos was living on it. Sure he could absorb energies from a lot of warriors, but Alexander? He was a different story. He could sense that his power level was far beyond his cells to handle. While he was lost in these thoughts, a boy entered the cave with a small pack in his hand. He turned around and looked at the boy. He had blonde long hair, shiny blue eyes and wearing a black and red armor with a thick claok over it to keep away the cold. In summary, that child was a mini copy of Alexander. "Oh, hey there! You're finally up? Here, I brought you some food. Grandpa cooked it. And believe me, it tastes yummy.", the boy said with an innocent smile on his face. The green android felt a strong energy from the child, so he found this a golden opportunity to continue his process to perfection. So, he moved his pointy tail toward the child slowly to absorb his energy, "You shouldn't think about it, mister.", his tail stopped in place and he was really shocked that this little brat was able to sense his movement. "If you absorb my energy and hurt me, grandpa would be really mad at you. You won't like it when he's mad.", he said then giggled at his own words, "By the way, I'm Zero Omega. Most of my acquaintances call me Z. What's your name?", he said, still smilling. Wait! Did he just say 'Omega'? Then this must be Alexander's grandson, the little scaredy brat who always hides behind him. He didn't want to tell his name, so he kept silent.

"It's okay if you didn't want to tell me.", Zero said then opened the box and it was filled with good looking food, "Here. Have a bite. It's even better than stealing people's energy.", he was surprised that this kid had the guts to say all these things to him. He looked at Zero then at the food, and his vision kept travelling between them. In the end, he couldn't resist and started eating -even an android needs to eat-. When he finished, he looked at the blonde kid who was staring at him the whole time, "What are you staring at?", he asked with a bothered tone in his voice. Zero kept silent for a minute then he spoke up, "Oh, nothing. You surely were hungry.", he said and smiled again.

Right then, the snow storm outside had stopped, and Zero picked up everything and before he leaves, he turned to him and said: "I really hope that we could meet again in the future. See you later."

Flashback end*

'He was really kind. Anyway, what he hoped for came true. Ten years later, I met the same boy and he saved me from Alpha.', he thought then looked at the sky, 'Even when my perfection was complete and he fought against me, he spared my life just like that.'

Flashback 2*Paris*

He was about to be finished off by Alpha again, until 'he' showed up. "Leave him to me, Kanjer. He's mine!", he recognized the voice and looked at its direction to see the seventeen years old Saiyan looking at him with determine. "Well, hello, Zero. It's quite a nice coincidence to see you again.", he said with an evil smirk on his face. Zero just whistled in amusement and said: "So this is the 'perfection' you were talking about, huh? You look really sharp."

"Why, thank you.", he said and stood in a fighting stance, "Now, let's see what you've got, kid!", he said then shot an energy blast at Zero who unsheathed his sword and used some technique that turned it to orange and made it reflect the shot away. "Let's take our battle away from the citizens. I know a good place for us to fight.", Zero said making him smirk interestedly, "And were that might be?", he said. The young Saiyan sheathed his sword and said: "Follow me." And they both flew towards the Boulogne woods.

When they arrived there, Zero smiled and landed on the ground followed by him. "I must say, this is a nice spot you picked, Zero.", he said with a sneaky smile.

"Thank you."

"By the way, I'm really interested in that technique you used to reflect my attack into the air.", he said and waited for the young man's answer, "You liked it? It's called Rekkyoudan-Violent Mirror Severing-, it's a kendo technique I have learned that depends on transferring some of the swordsman's energy to the sword which makes it reflect the opponent's shots."

"Good technique, indeed.", he said then poised himself in a fighting stance, "Don't hold back, Zero. Show me all of your sword techniques." "Don't worry. I will!", Zero said and unsheathed his sword again. Then, the battle began. Zero used all his sword techniques from Youdantotsu to Raikousen but he could dodge them all. Then, he gave the young blonde Saiyan a hard punch to the stomach that made him collapse. "What's the matter, Zero? Giving up already?", he said then kicked Zero's torso with all his strength causing him to cough blood. The young hunter wouldn't give up. He stood up, raised his energy level and began to aim rapid kicks and puches at the magenta-eyed android, but the other would just dodge him.

The battle continued for hours, Zero's friends were watching and praying that Zero would win. The two warriors kept fighting until each one of them had raised his energy level to its highest, each prepared a kamehameha then shot it at the other, they were both hit then they fell to the ground. "It's a draw then, huh?", he said while looking at the sky, "Yeah. Although, I haven't imagined that we would be at the same power level.", Zero said. Then, they both began to laugh and the other hunters had no idea why these two were laughing. They stopped laughing, fixed themselves into a sitting position, and smirked at each other. "I have to admit, you have become stronger since last time I saw you, Zero. You impressed me."

"Same thing to you. I was impressed by your power.", Zero said then chuckled and got up then went towards him and gave him a hand to help him on his feet, "Need a hand?", he said with a smile. He was shocked at the offer, but then he smirked and said: "I wouldn't accept any hand but yours." Then, he took his hand and got up. "I'll work harder to raise my energy levels, so that next time when we meet, we would continue this battle and decide who's the best warrior." "Same goes for me, Zero."

"Promise?", Zero asked stretching his arm and forming his hand into a fist, he smiled to himself and said: "Of course. (slaps his fist with Zero's)Promise."

When he turned around and began to leave, the other Maverick Hunters gathered around Zero to make sure he was alright, "Oh, and Cell?", he stopped when the blonde Maverick Hunter called his name then turned around to face him, "Next time when you lure me into a fight, try not to harm the innocents, okay?", Cell smirked to that request and replied: "I'll try to keep that in mind."

Flashback end*

Right at that moment, Cell stood up looking at the moon, "Zero! When I see you next time, I'll show you how strong I've become!", he shouted then went back to the house were he was staying with a twenty-eight years old girl and her blind mother and a nine years orphan girl. "I'm home.", he said and the twenty-eight years old girl looked at him with annoyed green eyes -she had jade green eyes and long black hair that reached her waist-, "You're late.", she said crossing her arms on her chest, her mother however directed her head to Cell's direction and smiled, "Well, welcome back, Cell.", she said then stood up and started walking towards him. She stampled over a pillow and almost dropped on her face if Cell wasn't fast enough to catch her, "Thank you, son. I really am a clumsy old lady." "Mom! Don't say that about yourself! You're only fifty."

"Maybe. Jade, have you prepared dinner?", she asked. Jade sighed deeply and went to put the food on the table, that's when the little girl came from her room and looked at Cell with puffed grumpy face. "Good evening, Shizumi.", he said with a smile, Shizumi was still angry at him, "You promised me to play 'tag' together! I waited for you but you didn't come!", she yelled then tears started forming in her eyes, "You keep meditating all day long. You hate me, don't you?", she then began to cry. Cell's magenta eyes softened at the sight of the crying little girl, he helped Jade's mother to sit down then held Shizumi close to his chest and said: "Shh. Calm down, I would never hate you, Shizumi. I promise, tomorrow will be all just for you, deal?"

Shizumi wipped away her tears and smiled at Cell, "Deal! But you better not forget this promise, or else I'll be mad at you.", she said happily. Then, they all sat to the table to eat, "Speaking of tomorrow, I heard that Kiwami is going to drop by.", Jade's mother said drawing Cell's attention, "That's right. And I heard from the others that he's bringing his teammates along, and some of the Maverick Hunters too." 'Maverick Hunters?', he wondered if Zero was coming along, then Shizumi spoke his mind, "Who of the Maverick Hunters in particular?", she asked and Jade tried to memorize Jyuurouta's message to them, "Let's see, there will be Gin, the Count of Monte Cristo, Vegeta, the four criminals, Colonel Kanjer and General Zero.", she answered and Cell was surprised about the title she gave to Zero, 'So Zero has become the General of the Maverick Hunters. Well, I didn't expect less from him.' "Why are they coming tomorrow? Is there a special occasion in your village?", he asked. "Why, yes. Tomorrow is the village's festival. There'll be lot's of fun. Music, fireworks, games and lots of food.", Jade answered excitedly, "Oh well, I guess I'll never be able to understand humans.", he commented and continued eating, Jade raised an eyebrow at his action and said: "For your record, Mr. 'Perfect', Kiwami is not a human, he's an Iron Leaguer. Specialized in kendo. And oh, I forgot! He said there will also be some guests from a dimension called Egyxos."

After that, everyone went to bed. Cell was still up thinking of the rumors about the Maverick Hunters being powered up and becoming stronger than ever. "Hey, Mr. 'Perfect'. You're still up?", he turned around to see Jade smirking at him, "Annoying human. What do you want?!", he shouted and she was surprised at his action but she pulled herself together, "Well, this annoying human saved your life, took you into her house and gave you everything you need to survive, so you should be grateful!", she yelled at him and he was really shocked of the courage this girl had, he then smirked at her and said: "You're right. I'm sorry, Jade."

She was surprised by his reaction but then she smiled at him, "Well, you should go get some sleep. Even the strongest warriors need some rest.", she said and started walking to the door. "Good night, Cell." "Good night, Jade.", he said as he watched her leaving his room. Cell took a last look at the starry night sky then laied on his bed. "General Zero Omega. That sounds pretty good. Oh, well, I'd like to see how much stronger he has got, when the right time comes.", he said to himself then closed his eyes and went into a deep sleep.
