Out of all of the illogical, crazy, stupid things mortals had the tendency to do, the god's found revenge to be the one that took the cake. Yes, many gods had spent eons deliberating over the nature of revenge, and why it was such an integral part of mortal behaviour. To beings of logic and transcendence from the universe, the whole idea of it just didn't make sense.

Revenge was one of those things that couldn't really be categorised as an emotion. Sure it was driven by emotion, anger, hatred, despair, jealousy, righteousness, but it didn't really wholly fit into any of them.

The concept (If you could call it that) was irrational, yet people would commit their lives, and if circumstances dictated so, their afterlives into seeking it.

Why bother fighting tooth and nail to take action against something that had already happened? Did they not understand time? Or cause and effect? Changing the future cannot alter the past, that was one of the fundamental building blocks of time, the fourth dimension, and thus the universe.

Nevertheless, the universe was an old place, incomprehensibly so, and the gods resigned to the idea a long time ago that for all their immeasurable logic and power, the mortals were something they would never truly understand.

Cell was an interesting case. One of those few examples of someone seeking revenge even after they had passed onto the next realm, or "otherworld" as it was dubbed amongst the inhabitants of the android's home planet.

Sure it had happened before. Hell, plenty of miscreants, tyrants and spoiled brats had involuntarily journeyed to the land of the dead and spent their days plotting against those who had sent them there, and in many cases, their families, friends and even pets were included in whatever dark plans had been concocted..

But Cell was different. For starters he was an android, which in itself was a whole new topic for the god's to not understand. (yet another thing they had the mortals to thank for.) Secondly was the fact that he was even in the area of otherworld known as hell to begin with. Which answered a few of the god's (and mortal's) questions about the nature of souls.

Most of all however, was how Cell was even defeated in the first place. He was by mortal standards, pretty much perfect, just as his self-proclaimed title and boasting would suggest. The android was the ultimate blend of the galaxies greatest fighters, which as luck would have it, put him pretty high in the universes best fighters as well.

Yet even after he had absorbed his siblings into his being, a story which the god's would always deem as one of the most illogical episodes in the universe's history, he still found a way to be destroyed. It didn't make sense. Any of it.

Cell was unstoppable, incomprehensibly powerful and above all else cunning beyond his years. Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, Freeza, King Cold, Tien and Yamcha all made up his cells, and he was the culmination of all their greatest traits and powers.

Within him he held the ruthless tenacity of Vegeta, coupled with the insatiable urge to conquer and dominate that came from Freeza and his father. Above all else however, was the desire for power, which could have come from any one of his contributors. Anyone's first guess would be that it had originated from one of the Saiyans, it was what made them tick after all.

But that didn't matter, not really anyway. The point was, Cell was perfect, P.E.R.F.E.C.T. and yet he had been beaten, humiliated, and borderline tortured out of existence by an eleven-year old boy. A boy whose skin and brain and bone and hair had aged a year beyond the time he had existed in the living realm. Another abnormality.

How had any of this happened? To a god it was enough to drive anyone crazy. They were creatures of knowledge and order after all. In fact, the only similarity that could be drawn between all of the countless immortals that existed within the countless stars of the cosmos, was their shared desire of knowledge and understanding.

It was the talk of the universe at the moment. The boy, Gohan didn't know it, but he was revered as a hero throughout the galaxies by his mortal peers, and given the guilt that the little half-Saiyan had been feeling considering what had happened, he wasn't sure it was a title he fully welcomed or deserved.

Further unbeknownst to him was that he had been given the name "Aseedus" by the god's, which literally translated to anomaly.
