Two From Another Reality
Chapter 9: Boundlessness vs. Perfection (FINAL)
As Trunks prepared to launch himself at Cell, Vegeta became more and more irritated, knowing that Trunks sought to ruin the chance to have the ultimate opponent.
Cell knew he didn't have much time, and began to scan the ground for 18. But while he was looking, he didn't realize that Trunks was already storming towards him.
"It's over, Cell!" Trunks yelled.
Cell looked up with shock at the incoming fist, which contacted hard and sent Cell plummeting towards the ground. Trunks quickly followed behind, but just then, Vegeta, in a burst of energy and returning to his gold aura, blasted towards Trunks, which hit Trunks from behind and sent him, shocked at his father's attack, falling towards the sea.
Meanwhile, Cell, who had hit the ground hard as well, got back up and started to look around the area he had hit for 18.
I've got to find that Android. Only then will I be able to silence these fools once and for all.
18 and 16 looked towards where Cell fell, which was some distance away, and Krillin, from behind the other two Androids, shook uncontrollably.
I've got to destroy her! It's the only way to stop Cell!
No, I can't! I can't hurt her!
It is at this moment that Krillin, losing his nerve, let the remote in his hands fall. It hit the ground with an unnatural thud, making 18 and 16 alerted of his presence.
18 turned to look and saw Krillin standing there, staring at them with regret on his face.
"You..." 18 said in wonder, but then looked to his feet and saw what had made the sound and gasped.
That's an emergency override controller! How did that guy get his hands on one?
Krillin, however, didn't pick it up, but said, "I was supposed to come here to kill you."
18 looked at Krillin, somewhat nervous, but gasped again when Krillin stomped down on the remote, crushing it.
18 couldn't understand, but asked then, "Why did you do it?"
Krillin was now the nervous one, and he couldn't help blushing, but when 18 seemed to notice this, he yelled, "There isn't time for this, you have to get out of here!"
18 didn't move, but continued to stare at Krillin.
As 18 and Krillin stood in an awkward situation, Cell blasted up into the sky and looked around the island to spot 18. Just as he was looking, he got nailed by another blast, again from Trunks. The hit sent him spiraling through the air, where he steadied himself and looked towards where the blast came from, only to start getting pummeled by Trunks. Cell was totally helpless against Trunks, but received some relief when he was knocked into the sky some more.
Trunks tried to follow behind, but didn't see Vegeta approach from behind and axhandle Trunks. Trunks cried out in protest at his father's insistence to doom the earth, and Trunks hit the rocks hard on the island below.
Cell grinned at Vegeta, who said, "I'm not waiting all day, find the Android and get on with it."
Cell said nothing, but then, he looked past Vegeta, down to the island, and with a gaping mouth, signalled that he had found his prey.
Vegeta yelled, "What are you looking at?!"
Cell said nothing, and just continued to gaze down at the island.
Finally, after all of the waiting and fighting, perfection is finally mine!
It was at that moment, however, that from the rubble below, Trunks burst from the rocks in a flash of light, glowing and charging up.
"Father! I will not let you fail against Cell! You can't let him become perfect!"
Vegeta only smirked at Trunks and said, "But aren't you curious to see this power he keeps talking about?"
"No! I've seen it! I've seen too much of it, and it ruined my world! I won't let it ruin this one, even if I have to go through you!"
With that, Trunks began powering up an energy blast, preparing to get Vegeta out of the way.
Vegeta only laughed and said, "You would think to attack your own father? You wouldn't do it, that's why you're weak!"
However, Trunks seemed to have no intention of stopping, and the blast became ready to fire. At that moment, Trunks yelled and let loose the powerful blast, of which, made Vegeta suddenly fearful.
The blast hit dead on, and Vegeta yelled as the blast carried him away, towards the open sea. Trunks looked grimly after it, but then looked up to see in horror that Cell wasn't there anymore, and when he sensed him out, he was in even more shock as he saw where he was headed.
Krillin yelled, "You need to get out of here now!"
18 asked, "But why are you doing this for me?!"
Krillin quickly replied, "That's not important, just get out of here now!"
18 finally nodded and turned to 16 when all of a sudden, Trunks's voice roared from above, "HEY! CELL KNOWS WHERE YOU ARE!"
All they needed to do was look up and see Cell screaming right for them, opening his tail to absorb 18 quickly.
Krillin tried to cut off Cell, but with a fast chop, Cell knocked Krillin over to the side. 16 tried to ram Cell as he approached, but Cell quickly dodged the large Android, and now, there was nothing in Cell's way.
18 tried once to blast Cell, but the monster easily deflected the blast, and was only seconds from reaching 18. Trunks was also charging at Cell from behind, but once again did not notice Vegeta coming at him from the side. With one headbutt, Vegeta sent Trunks catapulting into a cliff, burying him once again in rubble.
It was of no use for any of them. Cell blasted downwards and thrust his tail towards 18 and captured her. She screamed as the tail wrapped around her and began to snake down her body. With Krillin and Trunks out of the picture, 16 too far away to try and stop Cell, and Vegeta and Unlimited simply waiting for Cell's ultimate power, Cell had no opposition, allowing him to absorb 18 easily.
Trunks once again blasted his way out of the rubble, but only to find that he was far too late. Before him and the other Z-fighters, Cell began to yell and glow ominously, the ground shaking beneath him. Overhead, black clouds began to amass, and lightning struck down towards the island. Trunks looked on in horror, unable to do anything to stop this awful transformation. Slowly, Cell's body morphed, more and more enveloped by green energy. In no time, Cell was now a massive source of energy, creating a dome around him as a barrier. Trunks, 16, and Krillin watched the hideous Cell change. His muscles tightened, wings sprouted from his back, and his eyes, once monstrous, turned purely evil. Finally, the energy was retracted from the dome and all entered into Cell as the clouds thundered overhead. With one final explosion, the clouds extended in all directions, dispersing as fast as they came, and a massive plume of dust was thrown into the air.
Up above on the Lookout, Piccolo sensed the disturbance below, "No... Cell, he's... he's absorbed the other Android."
Bulma, standing nearby, asked, "What do you mean? Didn't Krillin use the remote to stop the other Android?"
"No, he wimped out and crushed the controller and let her go!"
Bulma yelled in fright at what had just happened, and asked, "WHY DID HE DO THAT?"
Piccolo didn't know, but only thought, Goku, you'd better be training hard, because you're our last hope.
Below on Earth, the dust surrounding Cell dissapated, and Vegeta looked down at his brand new opponent.
So this is his perfection.
Trunks, Krillin, and 16 all stood around Cell, whose new form was incredible. Cell drifted down to the ground and looked at his new body, and surveyed his new power.
16, from a distance, said, "Cell's energy has increased dramatically. But by my calculations, Vegeta still holds the advantage."
Krillin, however, was the one in tears, not because of Cell's power, but because, I can't believe it, she's gone. She's really gone.
Trunks, noticing Krillin suddenly powering up, yelled, "NO! DON'T"
But it was too late for Krillin to stop, who jumped up and yelled as he flew towards Cell. With all of his might, he threw a kick at Cell, and nailed him in the head. However, Cell seemed not to even notice Krillin, as Cell thought, Everything I could ever want is now mine. I'm perfect.
Trunks knew that unless he helped, Krillin would be killed, and proceeded to fly at Cell. Trunks also kicked Cell hard, but was shocked beyond belief when he could do nothing either.
The two fighters attacked Cell dozens of times, but all Cell said to show that he even knew they were there was, "That's right, play children."
Krillin finally became angry and jumped back, and yelled, "Chew on this!"
Trunks jumped to the side and Krillin powered up, then created an energy disk and yelled, "Destructo Disk!"
The blade flew at Cell, who was now turned away from Krillin, and the attack hit Cell right in the neck.
"Alright!" Krillin cheered, but was quickly shut up when he saw the blade shatter but Cell still standing, simply stretching his neck. Then, Cell smiled and turned to Krillin.
"So, you want to play, eh?"
Krillin began to look nervous again, and as Cell kicked the air, he said, "Very well, it's my turn."
Krillin was sweating bullets as he took a step back. Cell then turned around and began to float towards him, stopping in front of Krillin and smirking. Krillin's face filled with panic, and then Cell disappeared.
Before Krillin knew what was happening, Cell wound up and threw a kick and yelled, "HOO HAH!" "(I always thought that was a strange line in the show.)"
With a loud crash, the kick contacted. But to Cell's sudden shock, he looked down to see that it wasn't Krillin he had hit, but it was Unlimited who had totally blocked it.
Cell, at first, seemed worried, but then he quickly smirked, matching the smirk on Unlimited's face. Cell jumped back and looked at the teen with wonder.
But before Unlimited and Cell attempted to fight, Vegeta came down and landed on the other side of Cell.
"You stay out of this, boy! Cell is fighting me! There's no need for you to be here anymore!" Vegeta spat.
Unlimited didn't move but said, "Whatever you say."
Unlimited smirked, but Vegeta thought nothing of it. Unlimited then said, "Krillin, you'd better get out of here."
Krillin only nodded and ran. Trunks, on the side of the three fighters, looked in worry for his father.
"Well, Cell, shall we begin?" Vegeta asked.
Cell turned to Vegeta and said nothing to him but only grinned evilly.
Vegeta flew at Cell and threw two punches and a kick, which Cell blocked all three.
Vegeta jumped back, and said, "Well, at least you can block now, but you'll still never win."
"Well, then, Vegeta, will you assist me in helping me warm up?"
Vegeta only chuckled, and prepared to begin fighting. Cell hardly moved while Unlimited rose into the air.
Unlimited looked down and thought, Once this is over, Cell will be have quite a surprise when he faces me.
Vegeta then took off and threw another punch at Cell, and suddenly, the two of them dematerialized. Trunks looked around the sky and saw the shockwaves from their contacts.
Up in the sky, Vegeta let loose dozens of punches but Cell simply smiled as he blocked each one with ease. Soon, Vegeta became angry, and kicked at Cell. The android dodged it, and then Vegeta's next punch.
Vegeta then yelled, "Stop moving!"
With a quick move, Vegeta launched a blast and became more angry when Cell easily moved out of its way. Then, Vegeta yelled and began blasting rapid fire. Cell continued to move back and dodging all of the blasts. Cell's smirk never left his face as he made easy work of Vegeta's attack.
Soon, Vegeta stopped attacking and flew at Cell fast. When he got close, he punched at Cell, and was blocked again. Finally, Cell and Vegeta landed on a cliff overlooking the ocean.
Vegeta looked at the android and asked, "Why aren't you fighting for real?! Are you scared?!"
Even though he was insulting, Vegeta was extremely angry, and was letting his anger cloud his fighting. Cell, just to make things worse, said, "I told you Vegeta. This is a warm-up."
Vegeta's eyes opened wide and he yelled, "I'll show you a warm-up!!"
Vegeta rose into the air, his gold aura reappearing and roiling around this body. He then threw his arms out to the sides of his body and began to yell as he charged up a mighty blast. Electricity began to emanate from his body and strike the ground as he thrust his open hands together in front of him.
"Now! If you want to test your strength, then stay RIGHT THERE!!" Vegeta yelled at Cell, who was now looking serious and lifted his arms in preparation.
Soon, a blast of energy was forming in Vegeta's hands, becoming larger and stronger. After a while, Vegeta's aura was thrashing around him, damaging the ground and breaking off the cliffside.
Finally, the blast was ready, and he yelled, "NOW DISAPPEAR!!"
Trunks, from far away, sensed the magnitude of this attack, and yelled, "NO! YOU'LL DESTROY THE WHOLE WORLD! FATHER!!"
But it was too late to stop, and Vegeta screamed, "FINAL FLASH!!"
The massive golden blast was unleashed from Vegeta's hands and rocketed at Cell. Cell stood in shock, and sudden fear as he exclaimed, "WHAT'S THIS?!"
Cell was swallowed by the incredible light and energy as Vegeta's attack lit up the entire side of the world. Into space, the huge gold column of energy tore through its target, causing a humongous explosion that annihilated most of the area where the island was. Throughout the entire attack however, a symbol on the ground glowed bright white. It was an infinity symbol, and up above, Unlimited lowered his hand and smirked.
Finally, the blast ended, and Vegeta started panting from the intensity of the attack. Down where Cell was, dust and smoke rose from the crater. Soon the smoke thinned out, and Cell was standing there, his face contorted with pain and shock. Vegeta looked at Cell, wondering was damage he had done.
Finally, the rest of the dust cleared, and Vegeta saw, with satisfaction, that he had hit Cell and completely destroyed his arm.
Cell choked out, "You... You hit me..."
Vegeta began to laugh as he looked at the maimed Cell.
"STOP LAUGHING!!" Cell yelled.
However, Vegeta only laughed louder at Cell's pain. Unfortunately, this pain was about to disappear.
"You're a fool," Cell told Vegeta.
Vegeta instantly stopped laughing, his smirk replaced with confusion.
"Have you forgotten that Piccolo's cells are also a part of my being?" Cell asked.
Now, Vegeta's face filled with rage and fear. Cell then stood straight up and, from the burned stump of his arm, a new arm and wing burst from the interior of his body. Cell stretched the new arm and smirked at Vegeta's face.
"Now, shall we continue?" Cell asked.
Vegeta's anger then returned, and he powered up again. Suddenly, he stormed at Cell and threw a ferocious kick at him. With a loud thud, Vegeta's kick hit Cell right in the head. Vegeta smiled at the hit, and Krillin, standing over by Trunks, cheered, "Alright!"
Vegeta, however, then looked at Cell's face and was filled with terror, as he saw that Cell had not taken any damage and smiled at Vegeta's attempt. Vegeta jumped back from Cell and looked at him in fear.
How, I put all my energy into that kick? Vegeta thought desperately.
Meanwhile, Krillin said, "Oh man. Vegeta gave Cell a boot to the head, and it didn't even faze him."
16, in another part of the battlefield, said, "I never thought 18 would give Cell this much power. Now we are all doomed."
Cell then began to advance towards Vegeta, whose will to fight was gone. Then, from nowhere, Cell punched Vegeta right in the gut and sent him flying backwards. Then, Cell dematerialized and reappeared behind Vegeta, kicking him in the back. Finally, he teleported one more time and axhandled Vegeta in the head, forcing him to the ground and making him lose his Super Saiyan form.
Trunks was at this moment getting ready to power up when, from behind Trunks and Krillin, a voice said, "Don't try to fight him, Trunks."
Trunks and Krillin turned quickly to see that Unlimited had landed behind him. Then, Unlimited said, "It's time I put an end to this once and for all."
Unlimited let go of his last two bracelets on his arm and then stepped past Trunks and Krillin, walking towards Cell, who was picking up Vegeta to deliver the final blow.
"Thank you, Vegeta, for helping me warm up. Now I'll end your misery," Cell told the unconscious Saiyan.
But before Cell did this, he sensed a power beginning to rise behind him. He turned to it and saw Unlimited in his red aura, and then, sending up a plume of dust, his gold aura whirled out of him, replacing the red.
Unlimited said to Trunks, "You need to take Vegeta and leave with everyone. I'll take out Cell."
"What? How can you?" Trunks asked in amazement that he could simply do that.
Unlimited smirked and said, "Like this."
Suddenly, with a large blast of dust and light, Unlimited's final level of power kicked in and his gold aura was violently thrown out by his final black one.
Cell looked at the incredible teen and thought, Now there is a challenge for my power.
Up at the Lookout, Piccolo, who had been nervous this whole time, suddenly widened his eyes, and stammered, "T-that power... It's Unlimited..."
Tien, who was equally shocked, said, "Wow! It's incredible! I've never felt anything so unbelievable!"
Piccolo then thought, Maybe we won't need Goku after all.
Back on the battlefield, Unlimited, his black aura swirling around him, stood before Cell, his power shaking dust into the air.
"Well, boy," Cell began to say, "Your power intrigues me. Shall we see who is the strongest?"
Unlimited smirked and said, "If you can keep up."
Cell only smirked at this, but wasn't smirking anymore when Unlimited disappeared and Cell couldn't sense him.
"What? Where'd he go?" Cell wondered aloud.
"I knew you couldn't."
Cell turned around only in time to see Unlimited kick him right in the back, sending Cell flying forward. Cell righted himself, but only had enough time to see another fist smash into his gut and make him keel over.
Unlimited looked down and said, "I am more than you've ever imagined. You will never defeat me."
Cell looked up, grunting with pain, and said, "You... little... I will make sure that your death is painful. HORRIBLY PAINFUL!!"
Cell then unleashed a huge blast right into Unlimited's face, exploding and enshrouding everything in dust again. Cell stared into the dust with anger, thinking the teen had been wiped out for good this time.
However, from within the dust, Cell saw a small black ball of energy. Before knew what was happening, he heard, "Death Matter BLAST!!"
Cell was only just able to dodge the suddenly huge blast of black electrified energy that roared past him. Cell looked after the blast and saw it explode in the sky. The blast caused a shockwave that cracked the ground badly and stretched a field of black energy across the sky, causing the very fabric of space to tremble from the incredible attack. However, the glowing infinity symbol on the ground kept the earth safe from the pressure of Unlimited's attack.
Cell watched this explosion in sheer awe and fear, when he heard from behind, "Don't you know that you shouldn't turn your back on your opponent?"
Cell turned to the voice and got punched hard in the face, sending Cell flying through the air. Unlimited then teleported in front of Cell's path and axhandled him with thunderous strength towards the ground. Finally, just before Cell hit the ground, Unlimited appeared there, standing with a smirk on his face, and did a fast flip in the air and kicked Cell so hard, the Android's entire arm was disintegrated.
Cell yelled from the excruciating pain as he hit the ground hard, bouncing three times before finally stopping, completely still and without an arm.
Unlimited's aura thrashed violently once he finally ended his attack, and Unlimited turned to the android. Cell, whose energy plummeted from the fierce attack, stood up slowly, teeth bared and gritted. Unlimited looked at the heavily damaged Cell, who said, "You! I will kill you!!"
In no time, Cell regenerated his arm again, and blasted into the sky and began to power up incredibly fast.
Then, he put his hands together and began to yell, "KAAA! MEEE! HAAA!"
Unlimited looked up into the sky and glared at Cell, who yelled down, "HAHAHA! NOW THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO! I WILL DESTROY THE EARTH WITH THIS BLAST! MEEEEEE!!"
Unlimited smirked and brought his own hands up to his sides and began to power up as well. Unlimited's aura then began to thrash wildly around him as two black blasts of energy appeared in his outstretched arms. At that moment, another infinity symbol appeared on Unlimited's forehead and he yelled as the energy in his body soared even more.
Up in the sky, Cell screamed, "NOW DIE!! HAAAAAAAAA!!"
And with that, Cell launched the insane attack at Unlimited, who was not fazed by the awesome size of the attack. The blue energy was coming at him like a train, ready to annihilate everything.
At that moment, Unlimited gritted his teeth and thrust his two hands together, making the blasts become one and tear up the ground around him. All of his aura and the electricity around him suddenly was absorbed by the blast at the last moment, and just when it seemed Unlimited might explode, he yelled, "IT ALL ENDS HERE!! DEATH MATTER BLAST FINAL!!"
Unlimited's energy condensed into one point and finally couldn't be held back anymore. Just as Cell's blast nearly touched Unlimited, the ultimate blast was launched from Unlimited's hands, and it totally engulfed Cell's entire blast, being almost three times as big. Unlimited's attack tore through Cell's and rocketed right for Cell with unbelievable speed.
Cell saw the attack upon him and yelled, "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!"
The blast covered him completely and, after a single moment of realizing it was over, Cell screamed, "AHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
Finally, Cell's entire body shattered and dissolved completely, absolutely annihilating him from all existence. Down on the ground, Unlimited stood looking up as the remainder of his awesome, unstoppable blast rocketed out of the earth and took the menace Cell with it.
The symbols on the ground and Unlimited flared bright white, but began to fade as the final attack left the world, leaving Unlimited looking up into the sky. The teen, enshrouded in his black aura, stared into space, knowing the battle in this realm was over for now. But there would be battles waiting for him in other realms.
"And I will fight each one. All of reality will know of its greatest force."
And with that, Unlimited disappeared, having fininshed his work here.
So, that's it. I know it was quite a sudden ending, but I was getting really tired of writing in this setting. At first, I thought it would work better, but in the end, this is my least favorite fic of my three. However, new ones will be on the way. I don't know what it'll be about, or even if it will have Unlimited in it. All I know is, don't be expecting to see a new fic for a little while. I have to figure out what to do.
Anyway, thanks for reading Two From Another Reality! Hope to see all of you soon!
