Either I Am Strong Or Smart, Possibly Both Chp 34

#PERCY POV#

"Are you guys ready?" Asks Bulma as I have finally met her

She is definitely beautiful even though I can see that age and stress have hit her hard as I can see stress lines and quite a bit of grey hair

But still, she looks amazing

"I am pretty sure we are ready mom," Answered Trunks next to me as we are about to board the time machine

Honestly, time travel is not something that I would do normally, if ever due to the many consequences of time travel

At this point, I don't think I may have a choice

Either I travel to the past to learn more and get stronger or scrape by with whatever I can squeeze out of this timeline

I will take my chances

Especially, since I managed to defeat Super Perfect Cell in the simulation which gives me some idea of what I am going to be in for

"Alright, just get in and the machine will do the rest," She says barely sparing me a glance and even then I am pretty sure its because she is trusting Trunks about me

"Trunks since you have time traveled before, how does it feel?" I ask him as I am feeling a bit nervous about it

Hmm

I like this feeling

Ever since I got the Taima template I have felt far more powerful than I probably should

Using elemental powers has been literal child's play

I can create stuff from my own energy

Beating the Olympians as easily as I did was a major boost to my ego

Something that Trunks helped curbed a bit

Honestly, him beating me around as a Super Saiyan was probably for the best

I and Trunks go into the machine and sit down

It's actually quite a bit bigger

Enough to fit 4 people inside

"Don't worry too much about it, it's not that bad it only feels as if you were pulled in one direction for a moment and its done," He said and I just stared at him

"Are you serious?"

"Yup," He answers as the machine closes and soon we are lifted into the air by the machine

I feel that pull that Trunks mentioned and as I blink we are already back in the past

"Huh, I thought it would be more..."

"Exciting," He puts in

"Yeah," I respond honestly as on the inside I am a bit in awe of Bulma's skills

Sure, this is her complete time machine and she spent years working on it but most of that was just her learning how to create that machine since she had to scavenge for the materials and made most of the technology for it by herself

"So here we are," He says and as we get out of the machine we can feel 2 huge power levels rising

"What is this power?" Asks Trunks

"Cell, I thought you said we were going back at the same time the androids were attacking," I say while beginning to fly over to where Cells is I can feel another power close to him but nowhere near as powerful

I frown as I remember something

I can teleport

"Trunks I will see you there," I tell him going towards a show and appearing near where Cell is

As I appear I can see Vegeta and holy shit he looks like he is using a lot of steroids

He is using grade 2 Super Saiyan to charge his Final Flash

I just stared at Vegeta and even though he has somewhat changed at this point he is nowhere near to the person he is in Dragon Ball Super

I turn to look at...

... another Trunks

Goddammit all

This is why I fucking hate time travel

I shake my head and focus and turn to look at Vegeta's Final Flash

I use some of my energy to protect the environment and reinforce the area as much as possible as I can see a huge wave of water forming around his attack as it is misplaced and with my connection to the sea, some of the water has been launched into the atmosphere

Cell's right torso is gone along with his arm

Vegeta starts laughing as he sees Cell

"You truly are a fool, have you forgotten that I share Piccolo's power of regeneration," Says Cell as I go forward

"I think that's enough," I say flying over to Cell

"It's you," Says Cell most likely remembering me from when I arrived and saved Trunks

"Vegeta go, he has already proven to be far stronger than you," I tell him as I transform into a Super Saiyan

"Are you kidding me?" Asks Vegeta after he sees me transform again into Super Saiyan 2

I don't say anything else as I launch myself toward Cell

I slam my fist against him but he hardly moves and I can see him frowning

"Alright then," I say while using my own buffs to increase my own power and finally hurt Cell causing him to spit out purplish-blue blood I kick him into the air and he manages to get a hang on himself and we begin to fight

('So that's why he baited Vegeta to fight him,') I realized as Cell was smirking

He used Vegeta to learn, even when he got hit by the Final Flash, Cell used that to learn how it feels to be so injured and grow from it

Even with my buffs on I know he is at least hiding half of his strength and he is using me to learn

I grab his leg as he kicked me

I hit his knee with my elbow breaking it

"Damn you," He says before I punch him straight in the mouth sending him flying away

As he does I hear bone snapping back into place and I can feel Cell getting a bit stronger from it

Again, Zenkai is bullshit

He blurs out and punches me in the middle of my chest and I feel it caving in as I am sent flying back

Quickly shadow teleporting a Senzu from one of my pouches into my mouth while detransforming

I fly the rest of the way down as I feel myself getting a Zenkai from that

Cell flies back down with a small smile as he opens his mouth I turn into True Super Saiyan 1 and I rush faster than he can see and punch through his chest

"How...?" Cell gasps out as I manipulate the shadows in his body to begin attacking him from the inside

I summon a lot of water and send it through the open hole in his chest while electrifying the water

He is struggling to move and grasp at his chest fruitlessly trying to claw the water out as he heals

I send some more up his nose this time and begin to slowly freeze the water inside him

I can feel Trunks finally arriving

I ignore the two Trunks as they begin to talk about who I am and what another Trunks is doing here

Focusing more on Cell as I freeze the water inside him and finally begin to freeze his entire body

Soon he is just an ice statue

Even then I can feel his power, however, little it is now as he dies

I grab the statue and throw it up into the sky as I turn True Super Saiyan 2 and charge up a Maseko which Trunks taught me how to do

Honestly, I never understood why people made special moves in Dragon Ball until Trunks taught me the difference

I blast Cell out of existence

I stop the Masenko after a few seconds and try to look for his KI

After a minute or so nothing happens but Vegeta gets closer to me as I go back into my base form

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?"

"First off, calm down, you haven't mastered your Super Saiyan yet which is causing you to have a burst of anger. Second, Percy is my human name, and Taima is my Saiyan name. Third, I am not of this timeline or universal line for that matter, I came here with Trunks, the shorter one," I finish saying but I can tell Vegeta is confused beyond belief

"Simply put I am from another timeline separate from where Trunks comes from,," I tell him and he nods

"This is getting confusing," He says and I nod

"So, what do you want?" I ask him plainly

He stares at me for a moment while I raise an eyebrow at him

"If you are a Saiyan, what was that form you used?" He asks powering down and I sigh as I am happy that he is not blasting away and asking questions later

I may as well tell him

So I tell him about True Saiyan and the different aspects of it and how True Super Saiyan works

He takes it all in and looks like he wants to speak up as I explain

At this point, I can feel three different power levels coming toward us as I continue to explain

Both Trunks are standing beside us while the Trunks I came here with was making small talk with his counterpart

Vegeta paid complete attention to everything that I was telling him about our transformations

After around 10 minutes in I am finished explaining everything

"Damn it all, how am I supposed to get my tail back?" He says while thinking about it some more

Giving Vegeta a heads-up about the transformations may cause a ripple effect as I am also going to tell Goku about it

If I am right about this they should have around 9 years until Beerus wakes up to obtain True Super Saiyan 3(Super Saiyan 4)

Even then I know that Beerus will be far stronger than them unless I do something about it

Super Saiyan 5

If I am right the transformation means that there should also be an overcharged version of True Super Saiyan 3

True Saiyan allows one to handle the stress of Super Saiyan 3 with ease as the body is able to handle the energy produced by the S-cells

It should theoretically be possible to overcharge them again as the body is able to handle that stress

"Hello," I say to Piccolo but he just grunts and looks at the younger-looking Trunks to explain

He sighs as he explains why we are here

"So you are trying to find a way to Namek huh," Says Krillin looking quite down as I am pretty sure that I killed android 18

But I am not worried about that
