What? This can't be. No. Not again. Why? Why? Cell stood there with a stoic face but inside his calm shell was a huge rampage of wild emotions, 99.9% being pure fear. This was the second time this happened to him. First the idiot's brat and now the idiot himself! Just his luck. It was all too familiar to the mutant.

Cell, being the coward he was during times like these, began to frantically search a way to get out of this situation. He looked at Goku, seeing that he had changed. His power was even more than Gohan's and his demeanor shook every cell within him to the core. He didn't look calm and confident like he was at Round One of their battle.

He was looking death at the face, not to mention the angry eyes.

Oh man...this was definitely going to be painful.

That was the last straw for Goku. The ascended Saiyan had just about enough of this nonsense. He wasn't angry at the fact that Erza was killed. He knew she wasn't. She was very much alive, thank you very much, just deeply unconscious. The reason was that he remembered Krillin being attacked like that in the same way by Frieza. And now he just witnessed it happen again. One of his new friends had been dishonorably attacked when she was defenseless. Well maybe she had defense, but he didn't know.

The Super Saiyan 2 being mentioned didn't even know he had transformed. Heck, he was just focused, or even better, hell-bent on murdering Cell. This monster had taken everything away from him, not to mention the possibility of never seeing his family and friends again. All because of this pathetic creten.

One of many perfect ingredients for a Super Saiyan 2. Goku looked at him with a murderous look.

Just look at that cockroach trying to keep a straight face. Who does he think he is?

With a mighty roar, the newly transformed Goku charged at Cell at blazing speeds, and upper cutting him in the face. Cell's head violently snapped back, taken off guard by his opponent. Goku then proceeded to roundhouse kick him at his side, sending Cell rocketing towards a plateau, but Goku beat him to it. Cell tried to do slow his speed but the force of Goku's kick was tremendously powerful.

Goku instantly zapped to Cell's location and gave a deathly glare. Cell could only cringe in horror.

He kicked Cell towards the sky, and sped up to the mutant. He then bashed him with a flurry of super charged punches, giving him painful bruises as well. Goku reached out to punch him in the face, while Cell tried to block it with his hands.

That only succeeded in him getting his hand broken and his face smashed again, as the force of the punch was too much to bear.

Goku swiftly dodged Cell's attempt to punch him and grabbed him by his tail. He formed a razor sharp disk in his palm and sliced Cell's tail off, which in turn led to Cell screaming in pain.

The poor android didn't even get a chance to think about regenerating when Goku grabbed his arm and swung him around until he released him, which led to Cell's face being smeared in dirt as he hit the ground. The android looked up to see Goku right in front of him.

Cell yelped and instinctively took a couple steps back. Boy, was this creature in searing pain right now.

"Why the grouchy face, scum? Missing something?" Goku spat. He held out his arm showing Cell's tail he had cut off.

"No! Don't do that. Spare me!" Cell cried out. He didn't know why his tail was always the one being sliced off. There wasn't a sign on it that said to do that.

Goku didn't respond. He simply held out his other palm and blasted the tail, incinerating all cells in it.

"How does it feel Cell? To lose something so close to you. Oh yeah I forgot. You can't feel anything. You're just some pathetic, no good lab rat of your buffoon of a doctor," he taunted.

He heard Cell growl in anger, which in turn Goku growled louder. He appeared before Cell to punch his face and incapacitate his left arm, which Cell returned with a yell of pain. Goku then kicked him to a wall of plateau then up to the horizon. He sped up to Cell and slapped him in the face a couple times.

"Something wrong, Cell?" Goku said with venom in his voice. "Feeling humiliated? Overpowered? At loss?" Goku growled and started battering him with punches and kicks.

"Fool! You! Don't! Know! What! The! Meaning! Of! Loss! Is!" he said with every punch and kick he threw. Goku relented his onslaught for a moment to observe Cell.

He was heavily bruised, that's for sure. The android also was bleeding immensely and panting with irregular breathing. His left eye was closed. The androids left arm was blood red. Good. That was just what he wanted. He wanted him to suffer a little bit more...

'NO!' he yelled in his head. 'I am not making the same mistake Gohan did! I'll end this here and now!' He felt some of his former self coming back, trying to get him to snap out of his murderous state.

But unfortunately for Goku, his Saiyan side won, kept telling him to beat the cockroach to a bloody pulp.

Goku took a moment to take a deep breath and relax himself. He then charged up a devastating punch and slammed it in Cell's gut. He remembered seeing Gohan do this in the fight with Cell and watched what would happen.

"AAARRRGGHH!" Cell cried out and doubled up on all fours. His eyes nearly bulged out of his sockets. He started to regurgitate white slime, but the most painful part was throwing up what came next.

Android 17.

Natsu was still trying to wake up Erza, but it was hard when Goku was sending gale-force winds from his punches in every direction. It was rather humorous though. He just kept rattling Erza's body back and forth, despite the fact she wasn't stirring.

"WAKE UP, ERZA!"

As if on cue, the mage's eyes shot open and punched Natsu in the face. Natsu started tearing up comically and howled in pain.

"WHAT THE HECK!? WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" the dragon slayer practically was in Erza's face yelling at her.

"ME?! YOU'RE THE ONE GIVING ME HEADACHE?! CAN'T YOU FIND ANY OTHER WAY TO WAKE ME UP!?" Erza shot back. It was true though. Her head was in searing pain and Natsu yelling at her face did not help her head. Suddenly, his face softened up and hugged her.

"Erza! You're alive! Man, I thought you were a goner for a second there." he was now crying, something she almost never saw him do. She also dropped the stern face and hugged him back.

"Yeah, I thought I was done for too, but I guess my armor helped me in my time of need," she laughed. Natsu just rolled his eyes.

His ear twitched and heard something. It was a whistling noise. Like as if something was falling...

SLOP! The Dragon Slayer didn't even see what hit him. Whatever it was, it immediately felt gross. It was slimy too with all that white goo on it. Erza flinched back in disgust and covered her mouth, aghast. What is that!?

"Oh great. As if my day couldn't get any better," muttered Natsu sarcastically. Just then, something...or someone started groaning. Natsu's eyes widened and pushed the teen...man looking person off of him.

"Erza, do you know this is," Natsu asked slowly.

"No...I don't," she shook her head. All she wanted was this to be a simple job, get rid of threats and collect the jewel. Instead, this was by far the weirdest day of her life so far. First a bug creature comes out of nowhere and starts fighting Goku. Then she passes out. Then a man covered in white slime just outright falls out of the sky and on Natsu. 'Yeah, that just about sums it up," Erza thought to herself.

They stood there in silence for what seemed like eternity, trying to find a way to figure out all this crap.

Cell never felt so weak in a battle before. Sure there was Gohan but what he did was nothing compared what this man was doing to him. Cell started gagging and closed his eyes so he wouldn't see himself in such a sorry state. He didn't know what to do now. It took a few seconds to register that 17 was out of his system. Just then, his body started glowing, sending wind in every direction.

First, his limbs started to regress back to green. Then his abdomen. And then his head. His face then started to resemble an insect.

He was back to his Imperfect form! Oh shit. This was not good for Cell. He was breathing very hard, clearly worn by his weakened state.

Goku, on the other hand, smirked in satisfaction. Everything was going according to plan. He crossed his arms and waited for Cell to give a response. Goku knew that Cell would try to do one of three things.

The first would be to use the Solar Flare against him and run away to become stronger while hiding his energy.

The second scenario would be to take either Erza or Natsu and use them for blackmail to reabsorb 17.

Or the third, which was to blow himself up again. But he had thought of a way to counter all those tactics. Now he was silently charging a fatal attack no one could withstand. He had tried using it in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber but it spent too much energy and he hadn't developed it further. This was the most perfect moment to use it.

"No...Not him too. First 18, and now 17. HOW DARE YOU! DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU'VE DONE?!" Cell yelled with all of his remaining might. But he knew that this was all for naught.

Suddenly, a wild thought entered his head. Yes, he could just reabsorb 17. He was right there anyway. Cell smirked.

"But Goku, it's a good thing you're an idiot sometimes." And with that said, Cell suddenly spread his hands across his face and yelled "SOLAR FLARE!" He quickly sped down towards where he saw 17. The mutant also saw the terrified looks of the two humans he could care less about. Maybe he could absorb their energy after dealing with 17. He was almost there. 100 feet. 50 feet. 10 feet. 5 feet. 2 feet. 1 foot. 6 inches. 1 inch...SMACK!

The clone was met with a brutal punch and was sent flying up the sky again. Goku quickly charged his aura and soared up. This was his chance to finish him once and for all. Cell was still screaming like a little girl while being launched upwards.

Perfect.

"This is the end for you Cell!" And with that said, Goku let out a furious roar, while doubling his speed and roared...

"DRAGON FIST!"

He punched right through Cell's bruised abdomen, who let out a bloody screech.

As Cell began his descent, Goku charged up yet another attack. A blue light shined bright across the landscape with tremendous amounts of electricity surrounding it. Goku smirked. 'This is it. This is for you Gohan, and everyone else,' he thought excitedly.

"SUPER KAMEHAMEHA!"

The Saiyan fired his most favorite attack towards Cell, who didn't even know what was about to disintegrate him into oblivion. Once he did see it however, there was nothing he could do to stop it.

"No! Please, not like this! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Those were Cell's last words in the living world. His entire being was entirely obliterated by Goku's signature attack.

Goku sighed. He couldn't sense Cell's energy anymore. The nightmare was finally over. 'I just wish everyone else was here to see this'. But there was still one unanswered question inside his head.

Where does he go from here?
