The LimitBreaker Saga

Not to be confused with The LimitBreaker Project, the LimitBreaker Saga is the events of the LimitBreaker Timeline. This starts from Yurmister's plan up to Ayana leaving to join the Time Patrol and the Tournament.

## The LimitBreaker Project

Ayana Eke (officially dubbed as "#147") was made by the Red Ribbon army being the first successful attempt of creating a biological Saiyan android. She was created using the remnants of the DNA of Bardock, Gine and Goku on the spaceship the latter crash landed on. However, due to the small quantity of DNA, they had to used Zema Eke as a carrier as well as the aid of Towa and Android 21 as additional genetic material.

During this period there was a time distortion created by Towa. She also had plans other than the one Yurmister wanted, being to produce a powerful "slave" to revive the demon realm so she had taken Android 21 to personally train this new warrior. Android 21 gave her an artificial right arm, stomach and heart (used as a self sustaining energy core, no need to eat thereby increasing efficiency). As Ayana was a successful result, she frequently experimented on her, making her go through physical and psychological torture until she would become an obedient killing machine. Eventually, due to the manipulation of her S-Cells and the intense anger she felt towards her captors, Ayana was able to achieve Super Saiyan. She had then attempted to overpower Android 21 but failed as she was on a completely different level of strength. So as to prevent an incident like this, Ayana was forced to wear an "I-Circlet", a device that would both inhibit her Super Saiyan form but also make her more subservient towards the Red Ribbon. Despite Ayana resisting and making multiple escape attempts, she was unable to remove herself from the clutches of Android 21. It should also be noted that due the mental strain and torture on her brain, accompanied with the brainwashing of the Red Ribbon, Ayana end up believing her name to be Zema, her mother's name, as she engraved it on her cell wall to remember what little she had left of her former life.

They used her in order to eliminate Goku by detonating Planet Namek whilst he was on it. The plan was known as the LimitBreaker Project. They used a replica version of the Saiyan pod in order to send her to Planet Namek, as well as stealing the blueprints of the ship that Dr. Briefs had made for Goku. In actuality however, the plan was an elaborate ruse to bolster her power under the careful watch of Android 21 and Towa.

When "Zema" had arrived, she began their plan, setting off explosions in weak areas of the planet. However, she was briefly stopped by Nail who, despite his best efforts, couldn't defeat Zema and was left for dead. She was soon to be encountered by another roadblock however, as Frieza's ship prevented Zema from enacting her goal to 100% completion as it had a barrier preventing her from destroying it from the outside. In an attempt to circumvent this, she went aboard the ship to try and investigate and destroy it from the inside.

What the Red Ribbon Army failed to take into account was the fact that in order to try and assimilate into the Frieza Force Zema would have to remove the I-Circlet, which caused the Red Ribbon's grip on Zema's mind to diminish. So one could argue that her obedience was simultaneously a benefit and detriment of the Red Ribbon (at least this is what she believed as she was none the wiser to their true plans).

On Namek, Zema had:

* Infiltrated into the Frieza Force
* Joined Dodoria's faction
* Defeated Zarbon and Dodoria and made the latter her subordinate
* Surpassed the strength of the Ginyu Force combined and then some
* Killed Guldo, Burter and Recoome because they were "a nuisance"
* Then proceeded to kill Ginyu after he attempted a Body Change on her during their "training" (she would just beat Ginyu half to death then leave him to heal in a tank)
* Almost bested Final Form Frieza (admittedly at 25% power)
* Joined the Cooler Force, causing a power vacuum in the Frieza Force
* Helped Cooler evolve into a new form
* Detonated Namek, killing Goku

After joining with Cooler (and taking Dodoria and Jeice as slaves for the cause) Zema had successfully detonated Namek, killing Goku in the process. Following this, Cooler and Zema spent a year taking over planets and civilisations previously held by Frieza. They then spent the better part of 6 months ruling the galaxy until they decide to set their next destination to Earth. During this time, Jeice offs himself due the intense torture that befell him from Zema, as well as longing to see Captain Ginyu and the Ginyu Force once more. The last remaining Frieza Force ship had intersected them and landed on Earth before them.

On the Z-Fighters side, due to the time distortion caused by Frieza's absence, Turles and Lord Slug had arrived on Namek with the hope of immortality. The biggest changes are:

* Piccolo finds Nail and Dende and fuses with the former, so that the combined efforts of him, Gohan and Krillin manage to defeat Lord Slug
* When Goku arrives on Namek, he faces off against Turles who has eaten Fruit from the Tree of Might, pushing Goku to 10x Kaioken (he has less control due to not fighting Ginyu and as a result not getting a Zenkai Boost)
* He tries to push to 20x but its too much of a strain on his body
* However with Dende as an assist, Goku is able to get a few Zenkais before Turles tries to kill Dende. Instead Piccolo takes a dive for Dende being left mortally wounded
* Turles kills Krillin with a Kill Driver, making Goku transform into a Super Saiyan
* Turles gains greater power from Towa boosting his strength
* Goku and Turles die on Planet Namek, with Piccolo, Dende, Bulma and Gohan being the only survivors, meaning the Namekian Race is on the brink of extinction
* Dende creates a new set of Dragon Balls from the old ones, so Piccolo and Kami can fuse as a last resort
* They revive Tien, Chiaotzu and Krillin with these wishes

## Beyond Perfection Saga

   Noticing the two spaceships land, the remaining Z-Fighters had travelled to the battlegrounds. To their shock they see Frieza and King Cold emerge from the 1st ship, the former who now possesses a Golden Form. In the 2nd ship they see Dodoria, Zema and Cooler emerge. Cooler had hope that King Cold would join him, but King Cold was firmly on Frieza's side (always has been) so a confrontation was imminent. Frieza threw the last of his soldiers at Dodoria, seeing him as a traitor. Dodoria manages to kill most of them but almost dies from a snipe shot by Appule. Zema then proceeds to call him pathetic and Frieza himself kills him for insubordination.

Zema requests to fight Frieza but Cooler denies her saying she isn't strong enough. Trunks arrives both confused and worried about the scenario that's unfolding but joins the battlefield and turns into a Super Saiyan. Having never seen Goku as a Super Saiyan in this timeline, Frieza is partially fearful but Cooler sees an opportunity. He asks if Trunks wants to assist him in taking down Frieza. Seeing as this was his intention anyways and Cooler (not Zema) doesn't seem to be evil, accepts the request, fighting alongside Zema to kill Frieza. Cooler meanwhile decimates King Cold into oblivion calling him a foolish father for picking the wrong side. After Frieza is killed, Trunks notices the Z-Fighters and signals them to come over.

He states that Goku should arrive in ~3 hours from then only for Zema to interject whilst trying to not laugh. She tells them that Goku is dead as she was the one that destroyed Namek. Enraged by the death of his father and the destruction of his people respectively, Gohan and Piccolo rush to confront Zema with Vegeta joining in believing they stand no chance otherwise. Cooler takes on Piccolo and Vegeta whilst Zema toys with Gohan. The fight is completely one-sided, with Zema effortlessly evading Gohan and Cooler managing to kill Vegeta. To prevent any more casualties, an enraged Trunks warns them about the Android threat set to arrive in Age 767 on May 12th. Trunks then departs to the future and the remaining Z-Fighters are forced to join forces with Cooler and Zema to take down the incoming Android threat. During this time, they try to revive Goku but he chooses to stay in Otherworld to train better and they should save the wish for another time. Piccolo merges with Kami if Cooler attempts to double cross them.

Three years pass and the Androids attack the island Southwest of South City. The difference in this timeline, is that Android 17, Android 18 and Android 16 were the ones attacking the island. The Z-Fighters find the androids and lure them to the Wasteland. Upon closer inspection, Zema notices that they are from the Red Ribbon Army and mentions how she was created by a scientist as well. The androids don't care too much and choose to fight. Gohan and Piccolo face off against Android 16 whilst Cooler and Zema face of against Android 17 and Android 18 respectively. Ultimately, Cooler ends up dying from Android 17 and Android 17's assault. The loss of her master causes Zema to go berserk, transforming into a Supervillain. This increased boost in power allows her to hold them off whilst Piccolo and Gohan fight Android 16. With a combined Masenko and Light Grenade, they successfully destroy him. As a result, Android 17 and Android 18 retreat.

On the Lookout, Zema is overwhelmed with sadness, guilt and revenge. After getting reluctantly healed by Dende, she immediately goes to find them again whilst the rest of the Z-Fighters come up with a plan to defeat them, not wanting to get in her way. She eventually finds Android 17 who had split up from Android 18 to find Goku faster (not realising he's already dead). She engages combat with him but still is too weak to defeat him on her own until 17 begins to mock her and bring up how she couldn't even save Cooler. This pushes Zema over the edge and she transforms into a Super Saiyan and begins to pummel 17 into the dirt.

Meanwhile, Dende catches wind of Cell and so Piccolo goes to investigate as he is the current strongest of the group. He encounters Cell, who is holding Cooler's lifeless body, which he then absorbs into his body amplifying his power many times. He explains to Piccolo his origins, how he was created and his goal for perfection. Piccolo stands no chance and is almost killed until Krillin steps in and uses the Solar Flare. The rest of the Z-Fighters decide the best course of action is to find 18 before Cell can and hope Zema can defeat 17. Back to their fight, Zema manages to bring 17 to his knees but can't finish the job as her transformation is wavering. Cell reaches the battle to see Zema who has reverted back to her Supervillain Mode and a beaten 17. Cell immediately attacks Zema and incapacitates her with a Zetsumei Bullet and absorbs 17 right after. Cell is confused as to why he isn't seeing a change in appearance, but just assumes that he needs to absorb 18 as well to be truly perfect. The Z-Fighters notice the sudden drop in Zema's power level and so they go to grab her before she dies. They find her barely conscious lying on the ground and take her to the lookout. When she awakens she explains that Cell has absorbed 17 and that he's too strong for anybody to face now. That is, until Piccolo brings up the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

He explains what the room is like and how it may be there last resort to beating Cell. Just as he is explaining, Trunks has returned to see how they have dealt with the Androids, shocked to find out not that there were three but that Cell has managed to absorb 17 and likely 18. Zema then enters the Chamber alone to train. They then feel a massive surge of energy in the far distance, believing it to be Cell. Trunks, Piccolo and Gohan go to fight whilst the other stay on the lookout. Whilst there, they hear a message from Goku to gather the Dragon Balls to bring them to Earth as they have been allowed a pass to defeat Cell who may be a threat to the galaxy or even the universe.

A few hours later, the Z-Fighters have gathered the Dragon Balls but they feel Cell's Ki once more on the move, meaning that he had likely found Android 18. Trunks chooses to fight Cell to prevent him from absorbing 18, despite the protest of the others. They activate the Dragon Balls and wish Goku and Vegeta to Earth to help fight Cell. Meanwhile, Cell had found 18 and already beat her down. Just as Trunks arrives Cell has already absorbed 18 and his transformation begins. Trunks attempts to halt the transformation but the energy being emitted is too much for him to handle. Cell finishes his transformation, dubbing himself: Ultra Perfect Cell. His power was on a completely different level. Trunks stood no chance against Cell's new terrifying power. Just before Trunks dies, Goku arrives on the battlefield ready to fight.
