Author's Note(PLEASE READ!)

Hey guys so I just was really disappointed they decided to bring back Freeza in the Tournament again. Counting Movies and GT didn't he die like... 8 times? Too many to count. He's literally the Yamcha of Z villains, hell even Garlic Jr. accomplished more than him. (too far?) Anyways I decided to do a Cell what-if in the T.O.P. I am far from a goddamned English major so keep in mind my writing isn't the best okay? P.S. I grew up with the absolutely awful Portuguese dub so if you see a name spelled differently then from what you are used to it is because that is how they spelled the names here. Enjooooyyyy!

"Freeza! I'll pick Freeza to be the replacement"

The silence went over Gokou's head completely. He was utterly oblivious to their understandably hostile looking faces. To him, this was the best course of action.

"Kakarotto, what in Kami's name are you thinking?!" Vejita nearly yelled. "Stop and think about what you just suggested! You know he'll want to turn on us for revenge!"

"It's okay, Vejita! I'll keep it under control."

"Gokou, you've got to be joking," Krillyn sighed as he slapped his palm to his face. "This is Freeza, Gokou. Do you even remember how many he mercilessly killed?!"

"He could really help us and we don't have much of a choice. We're running out of time!"

Bulma proceeded to think. Her mind seemed to race a million miles a minute as she listened to Gokou's stupid idea.

She knows how bad it would've been to bring back Freeza. While he was strong, he would've easily turned on Team Universe Seven had he wanted to.

Although the Universe Seven team needed another member, Bulma felt they had a better option. She closed her eyes to think. She tried to think of ANYONE who could help…

Then...

She started to hesitate in suggesting because in terms of evil he was of no difference but it was the only other option left.

"We could bring back Cell!" she exclaimed quite nervously.

As soon as she heard his name spoken, Cyborg Eighteen's eyes filled with fear. Eighteen's face turned into a disapproving scowl. She would have NONE of this.

"You're serious right now?!" she hollered. "Tell me you aren't going to revive that disgusting green freak?!"

"Yes, I am!" Bulma said. "Eighteen, please, calm down. It isn't as bad as you believe it to be."

"Hey Bulma, Cell is pretty evil too! Do you not forget he forcibily absorbed my wife?!" Krillyn said quite angrily

"Just listen!"

Bulma crossed her arms to assert herself. She looked at the bewildered faces of everyone.

"Think." she started. "I know Cell is a bad guy. This is a tournament, correct? Cell made his own tournament to prove his strength to all of Earth. He would like the chance to fight too, afterall he has Gokou's cells and Vejita's too!"

Everyone fell silent but stared at her. They tried to think of her rational a last-last resort... anything...

"Bulma..." Gohan spoke. "Are you sure?"

"It's him or Freeza, Gohan" "Do you want Freeza to mock you as he tortures your near lifeless body on the ground again? Or how about stab your dad in the back and laugh as he attempts to blow up the Earth? Or maybe come in the tournament kill everyone of us and have his betrayal be the reason we're all eliminated from the tournament and having our existance stripped away?!"

"...I understand..." Gohan replied weakly. "I will never forgive Cell for what he had done... but there's nothing else we can do.."

"I agree" Piccolo added. "If it came between Freeza and Cell, I feel a little more comfortable with Cell for we all know he isn't the one to inflict mindless tournament on the innocent plus he seems more of a sane-levelheaded candidate"

"Okay, I should try it out then! Let me see if I can go get Cell." said Gokou He got into his familiar stance when using Instant Transmission. "See you guys later!"

He then vanished.

"I'd never thought I would say this but thank Kami that Cell will be helping us and not Freeza" Tenshinhan said
