"How about this crystal ball thing?" Gaiger called from inside the storage closet. A dark velvet bag had caught her eye, a heavy bag, and out of it had rolled a smooth and large and opaque crystal ball. It looked very expensive… and pretty.
"Have you found that Ouija board yet?" another voice called back from the well-lit bedroom that poured light into the closet through the small gap of the half-opened door. Gaiger sat up on her heels, holding the big ball in her arms.
"Yeah, it's in the doorway." Footsteps padded closer to the storage closet and the door once ajar was swung open. A girl in her pyjamas with short, flaming red hair stooped down to pick up the ouija board. Gaiger looked up quizzically, still holding the ball, "Where'd you buy this? It must've cost a fortune."
The redhead shrugged, "A community garage sale. Some mother was selling it to pay for her kid's college fees. All we need is the board, though."
"I'll bring this anyway; to set the mood," Gaiger winked, getting to her feet. The redhead girl giggled as they both came out of the closet, shutting the door.
"No need to set the mood. Everybody's already half frightened! Judy jumped three feet in the air when I touched here shoulder!" the girl grinned toothily.
"Your parents aren't worried about us young girls meddling in the daaark arts?" Gaiger imitated inquisitively.
"Nah. I just have to clean up after myself. It's my last year living at home, anyway; they've been pretty lax with rules."
Gaiger held the crystal ball in her fingertips, watching all the reflections slide over its slick surface as the pair walked down the hallway, "You believe in any of this, Melani?"
"I read up on this board thing," she twirled the ouija board, "It's just some body driving a glass around with their finger."
"Better watch your spelling, then."
"I'll blame it on bad reception from the spirit world."
Gaiger snorted. The two of them walked into the main room where a mess of cushions, popcorn and a bunch of wildly giggly girls in sleepwear greeted them. The redhead held the board up triumphantly, "I found it! Spirit world, here we come!"
"That thing doesn't actually take you to the spirit realm, does it, Melani?" one of the girls asked, suddenly mortified.
"Gosh, no!" another girl, Jude, hissed, "It only contacts the spirits. Sometimes nothing happens because no one answers, even."
The redhead set the board out on a short table in the middle of the room. The all girls huddled around; whispering quietly as the trick was set up; some speculating at how the board could be manipulated. Gaiger sat down beside Melani, cross-legged with the white quartz ball settled on her lap.
"What's the ball for?"
"Effect," Melani smirked, placing a glass upside-down on the ouija board with one pale finger pressed against the rim of the glass base, "Ladies, shall we begin?" there was muffled giggling as someone jumped up to switch off the lights. A delicate hush descended on the now candle-lit room.
"Who are we summoning?" Jude asked.
"…I dunno," Melani replied blankly.
"…Jeremy Scott?"
"Who's he?"
"My pet hamster."
"Oh, be serious."
"I think it's funny."
"How about someone really famous?"
"Like who?" Gaiger asked, looking towards her redhead friend.
"…A famous philosopher?" Jude suggested.
"What about Cell?"
"Cell!" the rest of the girls exclaimed, looking at Melani in horror.
"The monster of Nikki Town, you guys remember?"
"Why? Why him?" a blonde girl asked timidly. A lot of them still had memories of the destruction of Nikki Town. Gaiger remembered how that blonde girl had actually been in Nikki Town on the day that the 'monster' had rampaged through. Everyone who had died came back to life. Gaiger, Melani and the blonde girl had all died in those first few days. Melani had died in an explosion while she and her family had been staying on an island, trying to escape the monster's rampage.
"Melani, are you sure about this?"
"Aw, come on, like this stuff even works," Melani laughed, "Can't we just give it a go? It's not like that thing could do anything to us. Hercule squished him like a bug, right?"
"Don't look at me, I didn't see the Cell games," Gaiger shrugged, fingers almost white as she clutched the crystal ball in her lap.
"If we try Cell and it doesn't work, can we try summoning my Granny? She didn't believe in banks and mom said if I find the money I get to keep it," one girl giggled, covering her mouth with her hand.
"Okay, we try Cell; then your granny," the blonde agreed firmly. Gaiger suspected she was making herself do it to get over her fear of the thing. She was braver than Gaiger, then. The crystal ball was lowered softly to the floor behind her, just in case the angry spirit of the killer-monster flipped the ouija board right over.
The girls all sat around the table, touching one finger each to the up-turned glass in the middle. Melani used her spare hand to rifle through the little hand-guide to using the Ouija table, saying the right words in a jerky fashion as she read them. The crystal ball placed just behind Gaiger's back abruptly rolled away from them all, making a quaint 'chink' as it hit the metal leg of the stereo system standing against the wall. Some girls laughed at this; others emitted little whines followed by giggles.
"…I don't think it's working," Melani sighed. The glass in the middle remained immobile, even though the room seemed suddenly charged with static. It could have just been the excitement of the girls… the prospect of talking to a dead monster, after all.
"CRIPES!" The glass was moving, sliding fast across the board. There was screaming and shocked yelps, but over them all Melani yelled, "Nobody take your finger off!" It wrote out a word, two words, and stopped at S.
"What did it just spell?" someone asked in a panicked voice. Gaiger was staring at Melani, her eyes wide and her breathing short. Gaiger looked around the semi-lit faces, had no one else read it in time?
"…It said 'foolish humans'," Gaiger reported quietly.

Cell's eternal meditation was pierced by the distant voices of girlish whispers. He opened his purple eyes and looked sharply around the limited space of his confinements. His eyes darted from one side of the mountain chamber to the other. Frieza and the others were muttering and grunting over a game of cards, but not whispering like a bunch of little girls.
'I don't think it's working,' said a disembodied voice. Cell looked around for the source of the noise, but his senses indicated that he had heard the voice… inside his head. Cell's ever-present frown deepened in confusion, and worry. Perhaps Frieza's horrible whining had finally driven the android past the limits of his own sanity.
"Who said that?" Jeice asked aloud.
Cell concentrated on the odd presence he felt at the back of his head, mentally scanning it for ki or signs of some other phenomenon. Had the Z fighters defeated an enemy capable of manipulating the minds of others? Cell listened to the murmuring in his head; certainly Hell was not so cruel as to send teenage female humans with mind-possession powers—no, those humans were alive.
"Sounded like girls." Recoome answered stupidly.
Cell's mind's eye started seeing images of a group of teenage human females huddled around some device of dark 'magic' whispering to each other. The androids mental archive told him they were sitting about an Ouija board… contacting the dead. And if those were all human females from Earth; then the most likely candidate for summoning in this prison was Cell himself.
"Foolish humans," Cell growled.
"What humans?" Frieza snapped, "Where are those intolerable voices coming from? Cell!"
Cell's magenta eyes snapped open and glared daggers in Frieza's direction, "What do you want?"

"Christ!" Melani swore as the glass on the tabletop took off again, firing off letters as fast as if someone was speaking them aloud. But that was impossible… spirits had to concentrate to move the glass even in the slightest direction, if there really were spirits at all and not a talented ventriloquist amongst the leagues of her friends.
"What do you want?" Judy read, "That's what it said." The glass stopped. Gaiger's gaze was fixed on her redhead friend.
"Are you doing this?" Gaiger asked calmly.
"No."
"Can I take my finger off, now?" the blonde asked shrilly.
"No. No, we have to sever the connection first," Melani announced, as if struck with the solution. Her free hand rifled through the book, looking for the incantation.
"It can't really be Cell," someone stated flatly, "I mean, Hercule blew him so far into—" The glass sped of into a tangent.
---
"Hercule was a pathetic human who could not so much have scratched me even if I permitted him to do so!" Cell growled.
"You sure you're not losing it, mate?"
"You can see the girls in the ball," Recoome announced, pointing at the glass-like sphere through which the 'Infinite Losers' watched the universe and battles of the Z Fighters. Cell stood where he was as the other inmates of his prison rushed around the glowing ball. Cell could see the pathetic humans in his own mind. They were shrieking horribly in his ears whenever he spoke, which seemed to drive the glass they were holding around the alphabet board.
"Do you pathetic beings not have anything better to do with your time?" he asked aloud.
---
"Is Cell really doing this?" Gaiger questioned. The glass lurched forwards to 'Yes'. The entire party gulped.
"Well if Hercule didn't kill you, then who did?" Judy yelled.
"That… brat…"
"Gohan," Gaiger finished, managing somehow to keep up with the pace of the glass.
One of the large omniscient windows suddenly shattered, the gust blowing out most of the candles and toppling a nearby mock hat-stand over with a crash. The girls screamed; their fingers still stuck to the glass, which was slowly starting to glow with heat. Gaiger shielded her eyes from the wind; still hearing someone read out the Ouija board.
"It is… amazing, how I can use my kith… kithrou …kith rough… It's not making any sense!"
"Did you just do that?" King Cold scowled at the glass orb, watching chaos whip about the room the teenagers were in.
"It is amazing how I can use my ki through this portal they have created. I wonder how much more I could manipulate this…" Cell murmured, noting how the females had lost track of what he was saying on that pathetic board game of theirs.
Cell closed his eyes, focusing, an amused smirk playing at his lips. Lightbulbs shattered; even one of the doors had splintered down the middle. A loud moan came from the house's foundations, the concrete straining. Cell laughed menacingly.

"NO!" Melani yelled, the book flying out of her hand halfway through the incantation. The lightweight text soared over Gaiger's head, flapping against the crystal ball. Without thinking, Gaiger reached backwards with her free arm to grab it. Grunting, she switched positions and hooked her sock and slipper-enclosed foot around the ball and book, trying to drag them back. She manoeuvred to trap the book with her foot, and grabbed the crystal ball with her free hand to—
Gaiger squinted at the bright light; did somebody just flick on the light switch? Maybe the wind… the wind stopped? She looked up… where did the carpet and the wallpaper go? There was just dirt. The girl looked behind her and screamed.
Some of the Ginyu Force also yelled and jumped back. Gaiger threw the heavy crystal ball… glass ball? At one of the aliens that faced her. A short, shiny white one went to punch the ball to pieces but a taller white one caught the ball in one hand. All of them were staring at her.
"So that's why it stopped." Gaiger heard a rich voice undertone from somewhere on her right. She backed up against the bars of the prison and gaped at the tall green thing that stood there. Cell… or, the Cell she had seen on the videos. What had they done? Judy said the Ouija board couldn't pull you through!
"Where am I?" Gaiger shouted, panic jumping her voice an octave higher and a decibel louder.
One of the aliens laughed in a cruel, scratchy voice, "Welcome to hell, little girl."
