The doors to Jin's office slid open, and Gohan stepped out, feeling ready to inflict serious damage on Heihachi. Alisa had been sent to the lab for repairs, and it would be a relatively simple fix, but she had been terrified when Jin had shut her down, and Gohan couldn't convince her that she wasn't being permanently deactivated.

Still angry, Gohan rapidly flew to the grounds where his next battle was waiting, and found he was matched up to Anna Williams. It was the woman with the dark hair who had taken Kazuya away from his first confrontation with Gohan. Anna danced forward, smirking arrogantly.
"Hey there, little boy. Heard you're the one who bullied my sister. I love beating her up myself!"
Gohan folded his arms. "That's not how Nina tells it. Apparently, she's kicked your butt almost every time."

Anna started to move forward, but Gohan caught her arm and pulled it behind her back. She tried to attack with the other arm, but he twisted that behind her back too.
"You're not gonna…"
Gohan suddenly jumped, realising he could sense something. It was an incredible Ki, but it was more than that, it was familiar. It was his, but it was also his father's.
"Cell? It can't be!"
Nina rapidly appeared beside him.
"Jin's on the way there now. I'll take care of this. Jin needs you."
Gohan let go of Anna and rapidly took off, flying towards the Ki. Anna attempted to attack him, but Nina stepped up.
"Come now, Anna. Aren't I the one you really want to fight anyway?"


Gohan landed on the ground, not far from the Ki signature. There was no denying, it was Cell's Ki. The man standing in the street was Heihachi Mishima, but he looked so different. In fact, he looked exactly like Super Perfect Cell except he still wore his own clothes and still had his own facial features. Other than that, he was Super Perfect Cell all the way.
"Recognise this form, Gohan? I remember fighting you. I remember Cell's death as if it were my own."

Gohan dropped to the ground in front of Heihachi.
"How did you become Cell?"
Heihachi smirked. "You're smart, so I think I can explain it to you. The truth is, I've been trying to access your world for a while. I found it, and I knew it had beings of great power. The first time I found out about it was from a powerful surge of energy, which I later learned was a clash between Son Goku and Prince Vegeta. Since then, I've been trying to access that world and take those powers. More recently it spiked, in an event which I now know was Cell reaching his Perfect form upon consuming Android 18. That gave me my first proper look at the power in your world, since I was watching that time. I tried to cross over to your world, but the truth is, the machines that allowed access only allowed me to watch. There simply wasn't adequate power to allow anything solid to pass between the two worlds."

Heihachi trailed off, before starting again.
"Then I got an idea. When Trunks fought Cell afterwards, I realised the gateway was partially opening, because the Ki blasts were opening the gate slightly by powering the machine. It wasn't enough, because the fight went in too many directions, and we couldn't steal any energy. Then there was your fight with Cell. In most of the fight, we only stole fragments, until finally you two fired attacks directly at each other and stayed still. When that happened, we took the energy, it opened the gateway fully, but we still had trouble getting what we were really after. In the end, we locked onto the strongest energy sources, hoping Cell's would be the strongest. As it turned out, yours was, which was why you came through second when we hoped to extract him after he killed you. It turned out for the best though, since I now have all his power, and all his memories."

Gohan glared. "That machine I blasted at the factory. What was it?"
Heihachi smirked. "It was a machine for the separation of Cell's damaged body. It allowed me to bind his DNA to my own and turn myself into a god. What you blasted was a mere conductor, designed to bring the energy through to that machine. Without your final contribution, I never could have done this."

As Heihachi started to laugh, Gohan flew into him, striking him, while rapidly powering up to Super Saiyan 2. Heihachi doubled over, and Gohan kicked him, sending him into the air.
"You're about as powerful as Cell was before his Zenkai boost when he blew up King Kai's planet. I can beat you."
Heihachi jumped so that he had the Sun behind him, and pointed his hands at Gohan. "Solar…"
Jin, now in his renowned Devil form, appeared in the air behind Heihachi, striking him and causing him to stagger. Jin continued to attack, and he actually seemed to be damaging Heihachi somewhat. Gohan quickly powered up, firing his charged Kamehameha wave at Heihachi just as Heihachi smacked Jin aside. The blast hit Heihachi, vapourising his lower body. As Cell's regeneration started to repair the damage, Gohan was already upon Heihachi, and a single blast from Gohan vapourised Heihachi's head.

As Gohan raised his hand to finish off the writhing creature that reminded him so much of the monster that had killed his beloved father, Heihachi looked up, the skeletal outline of his skull reforming.
"Are you gonna do it, kid?"
Gohan snarled, before releasing the blast, completely obliterating both Cell and Heihachi once and for all.


Back at the tournament, Nina threw down the unconscious body of her sister. Nina left the ring, not bothering to look back at the badly bruised, unconscious Anna with a moustache drawn on her face with a lipstick. Anna twitched a few times, but it was only nerves. She would be out for several minutes.
