"Look Vegeta we're just a bunch of fighters who came to-"Ichigo was saying but Vegeta cut him off.
"No more lies boy you and your friends are not ordinary fighters. I may have said that technique you used was similar to Kakarot's own instant transmission. But what she just did out there was unlike anything I have ever seen, so stop lying and spit it out." Vegeta seemed to growl at not only him but at the rest of them as well.
"Vegeta calm down." Goku said.
"I think not. Their hiding something Kakarot and I for one won't to know what it is." Vegeta snapped.
"Ah Vegeta, Ichigo, didn't you hear me call you both out the arena?" the announcer asked as he stood by the entrance.
"Oh were going out there alright and I'll beet the answers out of you." Vegeta said as he grabbed Ichigo's arm and started to drag him out. Suddenly something fell from the sky and hit the arena floor hard enough to break the tiles on the floor creating a dust cloud. Soon a figure walled out. Goku was the first to recognize him.
"Piccolo, what happened to you?" Goku asked as he and some of the others ran out to him.
"Goku, he's back. Cell is-"Piccolo was saying when Cell landed behind him and grabbed his neck. All the Z fighters stopped dead in their tracks and the crowd gasped.
"Cell, but how and what happened to you?" Gohan asked. Cell looked at him closely after he spoke before he looked at the others. Suddenly he smiled.
"Well look who's grown up. Hello Gohan it's been a long time." Cell said as he threw Piccolo to the side and started to walk towards them. "And with a girlfriend too." As he watched Videl come to stand next to Gohan.
"Cell, you're not going any were near my son. You won't to fight, then fight me." Goku said stepping in front of Gohan. Cell looked a little shocked at first to be seeing him there but he quickly got over it.
"Goku, I'd ask how it's possible that you're here but thankfully after watching your fight with Majin Buu last year I know how that happened. I also know that you can go to super Saiyan 3, but as you may have noticed I also have gone though some changes." Cell said.
"You added some armor, so what it's not a big deal." Krillin said
"That's not regular armor, its bone armor and we've seen that only on curtain beings before." Rukia said as she and the others joined the Z fighters.
"Well, well, it appears you Soul Reapers are every were these days, and to think your head captain just sent me here to save the Soul Society from me." He said as he studied them until his eyes found Ichigo. He frowned at him for a moment then he suddenly grinned.
"You wouldn't by chance the Substitute Soul Reaper Ichigo Kurasake?"
All eyes turned to Ichigo as he looked at the android in confutation. "Ya, why?"
"Because Sosuke Aizen has ordered me to kill you." Cell simply said right before he started to laugh. Everyone stared at him in shock.
"Wait, your with Aizen?" Chad asked.
"Oh we are so in trouble." Uryu commented.
"You have no idea." Krillin, Tien and Yamcha said at the same time.
"Look Cell who ever this Aizen guy is there's no way I'm letting you fight him or to hurt anyone else. It will be just you and me, just like you wonted all those years ago. What do you say?" Goku asked as he tried to get closer to him.
"Your right about that Goku, I do won't another crake at you but how about we declutter the area first so we have more room." Cell said as he formed a Ki blast and pointed at the crowed.
"No Cell don't!" Goku shouted as he flew forward to stop him but watched as the blast was realized at the stunned crowed. When it hit Goku and the others were all thrown back into the wall, were Cell was unaffected.
"Now there's the small matter of killing Ichigo and then I'm all yours. Come here boy I'll make it quick." Cell said as he walked over and was about to pick Ichigo up when all of the sudden Renji appeared out of no were. With his sword in his hand.
"I don't think so, Roar, Zabemaru!" All the Z fighters watched in ah at Renji's Shikai realized and hit Cell dead on and knocking him back a few feet.
"Idiot. Why didn't you stop the attack from hitting the crowed?" Rukia snapped as they all got back to their feet.
"What are you talking about? Their in capable hands, the attack never hit them. Look for your self's." Renji said as he pointed.
By this time the smoke had cleared and they were all surprised to see a hug orange shelled that had covered the in tire crowed.
"Way to go Orihime, she was able to save them all." Ichigo said just as happy as the others to see that everyone was ok. Just then Trunks and Goten showed up carrying Ichigo's and Rukia's Zanpakuto's.
"Here you're probably going to need this and by the way it weighs a ton." Trunks said as Ichigo walked over to him and toke Zangetsu. Gohan happily handed Rukia hers.
"Orihime, how did you do that?" Bulma asked as everyone stared at her in shock.
"Never mind that we need to get everyone out of here now. It's not safe." Orihime said as she looked at the others down below, worry written all over her face. Chi Chi saw this and immediately toke action as she got to her feet and stood on her chair.
"Well you heard her, everyone get your butts moving before I start doing it for you. GO, GO, GO!" she shouted at the top of her lungs.
Everyone in the crowed immediately unfroze and ran for their live towards the exits. It seemed in almost no time only Master Roshi, Marian, Chi Chi, Orihime, Bulma and a shocked 18 were left. Also by then barrier had disappeared, for the time being.
"You weren't kidding when you said she was good at protecting others." Krillin said to Ichigo, he smiled at him well he unsheathed Zangetsu and got ready to fight.
"No Ichigo, this isn't your fight." Goku said as his hair started change color from black to gold as he powered up. Looking around he noticed that Gohan, Vegeta and both young boys were all going through that same sort of awe inspiring transformation.
"In case you weren't listening Goku, he said the he was sent to kill Ichigo, by Aizen no less. So that not only makes it his problem but ours as well." Renji said.
"No it doesn't fool. We'vet fought Cell before we know what he is capable of, you don't." Vegeta snapped at him.
"Not necessarily. From what he's said and from what we know from our own experiences of what Aizen has thrown at us. I'd say it's more than likely that he's been exposed to the Hogyoku's energy."Rukia said.
"No way are you sure, he doesn't look very much like an Arrancar should. There's no hole in him that I saw." Ichigo said
"Ah, what now?" Yamcha asked clearly confused.
"What he means is that séance all the Arrancar they have run into are made up of thousands off Hollows that have devoured each other. Only the soul that is the strongest takes domino over the others souls they have. Or ad lest that is the just of it." Cell said as he finally seemed to have put up their little conversation long enough, as he stared at Ichigo. "So do I finally get to see this amassing Bankai I've heard so much about?"
"Are you sure you won't to?" Ichigo asked as he rested his sword on his shoulder.
"Careful Ichigo." Gohan said well giving him a warning look.
"Oh I very much wont to fight you at your strongest, so that it wasn't by chance that I bet you. So go on release your Bankai, I'll wait." Cell said as he crossed his arms over his chest. Ichigo looked at the others and saw that the Z fighters were watching him closely, seeming to wonder what Cell was talking about. He then looked at his friends and saw that they knew as well as he did that there was no other choice.
"Fine. You guys may won't to take a step back." Ichigo said as he positioned Zangetsu as his spirit energy spiked. The Z fighters were all shocked at his strength.
"Bankai! Tensa Zangetsu."
As Ichigo's Bankai manifest to them all he looked at Cell with a serious look on his face. Cell on the other hand was seemingly unimpressed.
"Is that it, a small black Zanpakuto, a change of clothes and you call it a-" Cell stopped talking as the end of Ichigo's sword meet his throat. "-Bankai? Well you currently are fast; I didn't even see you move." Cell had a smile on his face that clearly was joy.
"Nether did. I barely séance a change in his energy levels before he was next to him." Goku whispered to the others who were all just shocked. Rukia and Renji both toke stances, and Chad transformed his arm.
"It seems that your friends are getting restless, good thing that Aizen allowed me to bring some Hollows here before now for safe keeping." Cell said as he raised not only his spirit energy but his Ki as well. A moment later over a dozen Hollows appeared and surrounded the area.
"These Hollows will keep you all busy well I fight Ichigo here." Cell said, but before he could do or say anything more, Goku, in Super Saiyan form was in front of him. He then punched Cell under the chin and sent him sky word.
"I'll fight Cell, you help the others fight this monsters." He told Ichigo but as he was about to fly off after Cell Ichigo stopped him.
"He's not the same as he was when you last fought him; you're going to need my help. And just so you know, if you turn me down I'll still go up there after you two." Ichigo said stubbornly. Goku looked at him a little taken back but suddenly smiled.
"Lets do this, but I suggest you fallow my lead."
"Deal." with that they both toke to the sky after Cell.
"What are these things?" Yamcha asked as he and the others got ready to fight.
"Their Hollows, souls who have lost their hearts and only wish to feed on the souls of the living or the dead. The best way to defeat them is to destroy their masks, when that is done they will disintegrate." Rukia explained quickly to them all.
"Well what are we doing standing here lets go and take them down." Tien said as he leaped into the sky and went after the Hollow that was close to him. It didn't take him long to take that one down and move on to the next.
The others soon followed him and soon a full out battle was being raged above their love ones heads. They all were speechless as they watched, except Orihime who was looking at the area to see if there was anyone still in the arena. She soon spotted the form of Piccolo.
"Is he a friend of your?" she asked Chi Chi. Her question seemed to break through the silence that had fallen over the 6 of them and they all tore their eyes away to see where she was looking.
"Ya that's Piccolo, his a good friend of Gohan's and Goku." Chi Chi explained. Orihime nodded and then she claimed over the seats in front of her and started to run.
"Orihime where are you going?" Bulma and 18 asked.
"I need to heal him so he can get back into the battle and help the others." She shouted over her shoulder. This comment seemed to break the shock over 18 as she soon followed her.
"18?" both Chi Chi and Bulma shouted in surprise at the same time.
"We should back her up after all were the responsible parents aren't we. Master Roshi take Marine and go some place safe." She shouted back at them as she tried to catch up the Orihime.
…
Meanwhile Goku and Ichigo were exchanging blows with Cell. They tried at first to fight him at the same time but found that with their different fighting stiles they were only running into each other. So they decided to switch off and take turns. This was turning to be a better strategy, as it didn't give Cell time to counter, until he grabbed Goku's arm and Zangetsu.
"This hardly seems fare, don't you think Goku?" Cell asked as he smirked. Goku simply glared at him until Ichigo's foot meet with the side of Cell's head. There was a load crack as Cell let go of both of them and he went across the sky.
"Nice one." Goku said.
"Thanks, but that won't stop him. We need a plan." Ichigo said
"Your right, but I think I need to go to level 3 if I'm going to make any real damage to him." Goku said as he started to power up.
"Wait hold on what do you mean by level- wow." Ichigo felt his jaw droop at the sight of Goku's super Saiyan level 3 form. "I am never ever going to make you mad." he finally said after a few minutes of silence, and of course his comment made Goku chuckle.
"Yes most impressive Goku. I must admit that it looks better in person then on a big screen were you can't feel the power. But I haven't even gotten warmed up yet." Cell said as he adjusted his neck and then pulled out his Zanpakuto. He then put the tip in the end of his tail well his spirit energy and Ki spiked again.
"In take, Bobeto!" Cell shouted as his energy's intertwined with each other, masking him from their sight. When the energy started to recede and they could see him again his bone amore had taken on a strange form. His tail was still long but he the spikes were gone. He now had wings; also he had 2 extra arms, each with a curved blade in each hand and were connected to another by a chain. The top of his head was no longer pointed but he now had a horn coming out of his forehead.
"Dude, you look like a giant dung beetle." Ichigo said as he looked at him blandly.
"What's the deal with that?" Goku asked as he looked unsure of what to make it.
"This is my release form, and I'll have you know that I didn't pick this form." Cell said right before he disappeared then repapered right behind them. "And it is only in this from that I can use Instant Transmisson."
They barely had time to turn before Cell kicked Goku in the face and tried to cut Ichigo down with all 4 of his blades but Ichigo was able to block 2 of them. Unfortunately the other 2 were able to cut into him, one in his side, and the other in his leg.
"Ichigo!" Goku shouted. He tried to get around Cell and get to Ichigo but Cell shout a Cerio at him. Goku was able to use Instant transmission to get out of the way but like their Ki attacks it followed him. Well Goku was trying to out run the Cerio, Ichigo tried to pull out the blades but found that he couldn't. Also he was losing energy and fast.
"What the-"
"Ah, so you finally noticed."
Ichigo looked at Cell as he smirked at him and saw that he suddenly was glowing with a sudden abundance of spirit energy. But what was wired was that Ichigo noticed that it was familiar to him. "How are you doing this?"
"Oh that is quite easy, someone who has such a large amount of spirit energy, like yourself, I can stick my blades in and take as much energy as I wont. Aizen may have ordered me to kill you but there are things worse than death." Cell said as his spirit energy went up even more.
Just then Goku papered behind Ichigo, grabbed him and was able to use Instant transmission to get them both out of there just before the Cerio hit. They were still close enough to watch as the attack hit Cell, or that's what they thought.
"Nice try Goku but I can't be taken down by one of my own Cerios." Cell said as he looked at them. He yanked on the chains trying to bring Ichigo back over to him but Goku grabbed the blades and pulled them out. He then pulled on them but Cell simply smiled and started to absorb his Ki at a rapped pace. Goku yelled out in pain.
"I don't think so Getsuga Tensho!"
…
When she reached the last of the stands, Orihime jumped over the wall, killing a Hollow along the way with Tsubaki. She kept running when she landed on the ground but found that there was 5 Hollows in her way. She toke out one and stopped another with her barrier but one snuck up behind but 18 had caught up to her and toke care of it.
"What are you-" Orihime started to ask her but 18 simply charged at another Hollow and dispended it.
"What are you doing, standing there like that? We need to get to Piccolo on the double." Chi Chi said as she and Bulma ran over to her, grabbed her and got her going again over towards Piccolo. Together the 4 of them were able to reach him, after taking out several Hollows in the process.
Orihime immediately started to heal his wounds; well she kept up her barrier above them and helped 18 and Chi Chi to keep the Hollows away. Unfortunately the Hollows seemed to be drawn by her power and started to over well them, thankfully Chad, Uryu, Trunks, Videl, Vegeta and Goten all noticed this and was quick to come to their aid.
"What do you fools think you're doing out here? You should have gone and hide with the old man, and not out here." Vegeta snapped at them. Bulma and Chi Chi both got in his face.
"Are you nuts? Did you expect us to leave Orihime out here by herself well she tried to heal Piccolo's wounds so he could get back in the fight?" they both shouted at him at the same time. Both Chad and Uryu were surprised to see that there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Fine. Boys stay here; protect your foolish mothers and the girl. I'd hate for that Namek to miss out." he growled before he toke to the sky again to join the others.
"Ah man this sucks, we're stuck down here well the fights up there." Trunks said as he watched the area for more Hollows. Goten simply watched the sky were Ichigo and his father were.
"Wasn't Cell defeated by Gohan over 8 years ago?" he suddenly asked.
"Yes that the one that killed your dad before you were born." Chi Chi said as she looked at the sky sadly.
"Wait what do you mean killed him before he was born? Isn't Goku his father?" Uryu asked.
"Goku is his father, Quincy." They were all shocked when Piccolo suddenly spoke as he opened his eyes and looked at them. He was healing quickly but Orihime wasn't done yet, which was apparent as he tried to sit up and winced.
"Don't move around too much, you'll heal better if your still." She told him. He looked at her curiously but nodded and stayed lying down. "He was brought back to life by a Kai so he could save the universe when it needed him the most."
Uryu looked at him with a bit of curiosity. "How did you know that I'm a Quincy?" he suddenly asked which silenced everyone. Both Orihime and Chad looked from him to the Namek, shocked as they realised that Piccolo had indeed called him Quincy.
But suddenly there was a load bang as a cloud of dust emitted from the arena. The saw a Goku get to his feet, then Ichigo also fell towards him but he was able to land on his feet. They both were covered with deep cuts and were looking vary tired. The funny thing was that both of them looked at each other and grinned.
"And what might I ask are you two are smiling about?" Cell asked as he land across from them. The others were slacked jaws at his realised from.
"Just the fact that we're both enjoying this fight." Goku explained.
"Heck Ya." Ichigo chimed in as his grin grew. Cell grinned back at them as his two energies once again spiked.
"Then I will try not to disappoint." He said as they both paled as his power hit not just them but the others a well.
"Now shell we continue?"
…
Well that's all for now. Pleases read and review.
