Chapter 9: The transformation
#16 had started the fight, delivering punches and kicks at Cell. He defended them quite easily. Tien and Furipa watched from the ground. "Wow, the big guy is holding on his own!" "You've said it!" she said in agreement.
Without breaking the punch and kick sequence, they started descending down, then jumping away from each other once they hit the ground. They stared into each other's eyes, waiting for the other to make the next move.
"Wow…Amazing, this android might be our solution to all of our problems!" Tien said. "Ngh…I wouldn't be jumping for joy just yet Tien…You saw what he did to Piccolo…We don't know if this guy will end up the same as him." Furipa said, making him look at her worriedly. 'Atleast I hope…' he throught as he turned his attention to the fight again.
Cell then started to power up, charging to #16. He didn't stay behind, as he charged at him as well. The two headbutted into each other, but Cell gained the upper hand when he punched him in the face. Suddenly, Cell's tail struck #16's neck, and he smirked.
Everyone around them gasped at the sight, fearing the fight would be over. #16 stayed unmoving, with his eyes closed. "Yes…Good boy, sleep, this won't take long." Cell said, powering up to absorve him. "Now you die." he said, and then #16 opened his eyes, smirking. Cell blinked. "What?! Impossible, he should be immobilized! I pierced your neck, where your neural link is!" #16 then gripped his tail, pulling it away from his neck. "Not in my design."
"So, Doctor Gero made some improvements…" pulling the tail completely, #16 grabbed him by the tail and threw him to the ground. Furipa watched, amazed. "Holy cow!" she yelled but Cell soon shot to the sky, #16 close by him. "So, you're fast too? Well then, this is where I come out!" he said, powering up, flying ahead of him. #16 again, followed close by, unaware of Cell's true intentions.
Suddenly, he stopped in mid air, and with no time to make a halt, #16 got to close to him, and was kicked in the gut. But he wasn't backing off so easily, he headbutted him on the gut, sending him over to some cliffs. In an attempt to punch him, Cell managed to jump away and curled his tail around his neck.
"Now I've got you." he said "This little altercation has been stimulating, thank you." and started pulling #16 by the neck. As he was gasping for air, Cell curled around him some more, until he was in front of him and put his hand right at his face. He charged up a blast, but #16 shot lasers through his eyes, making him yelp in pain. Taking the opportunity, he pulled Cell's tail off of him, and kicked him to the ground.
Everyone watched in silence, hoping that this would be the end of it. #16 boosted towards him, and stepped over his tail hard, making him grunt in pain. And to prolong his pain even further, he picked the end of his tail and started to pull, his foot still holding him down.
He managed to pull his tail completely out, making Cell yell in pain. "Unbelievable!" Tien shouted. Furipa gasped. "Holy heck, he pulled the thing's tail completely off!" looking completely disgusted.
Letting go of this torn off tail, #16 looked down to him. "This should put a stop to your absorbing capabilities. Now you are like a bee without a stinger." Tien and Furipa laughed, hope filling inside their hearts. "That guy did it! Awesome!" Furipa jumped for joy, and hugged Tien, making him blush. "Yay, he did it!"
Cell then got upright, smirking. "Not exactly…Your analogy of the bee is not quite accurate." getting up, he looked at him directly in the eyes. "When bees loose they're gone for good, the bee dies…" he stopped talking and then suddenly yelled, and to everyone's amazement and horror, he started to grow his tail back!
"But when Cell loses his tail…Well, he just grows another one, since some of Piccolo's cells could rise my cellular structure, I too have the ability to regenerate my body…" he said swinging his new tail. "I love the nameks…An amazing race. I AM the best of every race." he pointed out. "All neatly rolled into one super being." he finished with a cruel laugh.
#17 got up, holding his arm. 'He's just too much…' he thought. Tien and Furipa watched horrified. "God…We are so doomed…" she said, almost like a whisper. "A valued effort my friend, but just a minor inconvenience to me…" he said, chuckling and swung his tail to his side, the slime that was in his tail sliding down towards the ground, boring holes into it, much like acid.
"I thought I had the solution but I did not. You are bound to have a weak point somewhere tho." #16 said, frowning. "Really now? We'll see…" "This time, I'll rip out your head!" #16 shouted, but only made Cell chuckle more. "You'll have to catch me first…" and with that he powered up. #16 charged at him, and tried to kick him, but Cell jumped away and swiftly kicked him instead.
As #16 had stopped from falling on the ground, Cell punched him the second he looked up. Falling over to the ground, Cell watched him with mocking eyes. "So much for that strategy…Now, do you have any other tricks or can I get on with my work?" he asked him. #16 just laid there, unmoving. #18 watched, mouth open. This could not help just like that!
Cell turned to look at #17. He smirked and powered up, charging towards #16, murder the only thing in his head. But suddenly, #16 turned over, putting his hand in towards him, and out it came, punching him with full force in the face.
#16 grabbed his hand, as Cell flew back, put it back in it's place and punched him to the ground again. He picked him up and threw him back again, creating a large hole. #17 watched, amazed. '#16 stronger…!' #18 did the same. 'Wow, #16 you're doing it!'
With Furipa and Tien, they were dumbfounded. 'This guy is too much!' he thought. 'W-Wow!' was the only thing Furipa could think. #16 then crossed his arms, and removed his hands, each one under his arms. On his forearm, by the elbow, since he was an android, he had machine guns for internal body structure. As he felt Cell's power rise, he yelled "Blasters FIRE!" and started shooting away, creating a large circle of light, cracking the ground with it's force.
The ground erupted with light, as the earth shook underneath Tien and Furipa's feet. "Woah!" he said as he put a hand down on the ground to prevent him from sliding off the cliff. Furipa managed to grip to him, holding on her her dear life. #17 gasped when beams of light shot out around him, trying not to get hit by one of them. #18 covered herself when the rock behind her cracked up because of one of beams, the same happening around her. The island soon was engulfed by light.
Looking over his shoulder, Krillin watched light appear in the horizont. "Holy cow! Look at those fireworks! Those guys are going all out over there!" he said. 'Wait a sec…I can feel Tien's energy signal…And Furipa's?! Oh great, what are they doing over there? So much for the plan!' he thought, frowning. 'Man, now what? I can't go over there, not without the remote! Sorry Tien, Furipa…I gotta find Bulma first.' and with that, he continued on flying to meet up with Bulma.
#16 looked down at the hole he created. Putting his hands back to their original place, he waited to pick up any signal of energy. "Woahh…He's great." was all Tien could mutter. Furipa gulped, sweating a little. "W-Wow…"
"Incredible. #16 beat Cell!" #17 said, in shock. "#16…" #18 said, making him look at her. "Why are you still here, I told you to leave this place." he shouted to her. She placed her hands on her hips, smirking. "Hey, you squashed the bug, what's there to be afraid of now?" she asked. "That attack was not enough to finish Cell, it is imperative that you run from this place immediately! You to #17!" he shouted again, turning towards #17. "Don't give Cell the chance to absorb you!" #17 smirked.
"Don't worry, I think you've taken the wind out of that freak's sails…You obviously stronger than he is. And with us at your side…" he stopped to spit to the ground. "No one can touch our little gang…I'm telling you #16, you are truly state of the art. I admit, I was a little scared there for a second, but now, now I know!" he said, unaware of what was going to happen to him in a couple of seconds. "Soon we'll have the whole world as our playground! Just the three of us…doing anything we want!"
Tien and Furipa gasped, watching as Cell slowly came up from the hole behind #17. "#17 LOOK OUT, HE'S BEHIND YOU!" Tien and Furipa shouted together. #17 turned around and gasped, as Cell's tail opened up. #16 yelled "NO!" as Cell laughed. "You should have listened to your friend!" soon #17 was engulfed by Cell's tail over him. He kicked his feet, trying to free himself. #16 charged to them, hoping to getting him out before it was too late. Cell laughed more as he watched #17 slide down his tail and into him.
#16 stopped, watching helplessly. "It's horrible!" Tien shouted as Furipa could only mutter sounds, also horrified by the whole scene in front of her. Cell began to glow, the transformation starting to take place. #16 shielded his face from the light, as Cell began to change drastically. #16 then turned around and ran towards #18. "#18, come on, we cannot allow him to absorb you too!" #18 blinked out of her trance and looked at him. "You better get out of here now!" he shouted back to Tien and Furipa. Tien stood there, grunting as Furipa looked at Tien. "T-Tien let's go!"
Cell stood there, transformation complete. "Ah yes, this is much nicer…" he said with his new voice. Tien looked at Cell in horror. "Oh my gosh! We should have stopped him!" he said and Furipa gasped at Cell's new look. "Holy Moly, he looks like a cross from a bug and a god damn fish!" she said, looking at him disgustingly.
Cell could only smile. "Yes…I could get used to this. I've waited soo long." #18 watched him and he peeked over to her. "He wants you #18! We must go!" #16 shouted and and grabbed her, running away as fast as he could. Cell could only chuckle at their poor attempt. He slowly turned around and then blasted off after them. And with his new power, he was so fast they never saw him coming. #16 let go of #18, standing in front of her to protect her. "No! He's as strong as I feared!" he said, shaking a bit.
"Great, it looks like I've might get my feet wet after all." Furipa blinked, looking at Tien in shock. "W-What? Are you crazy, you're going to get killed!" she shouted at him. "Well I can't exactly just stand here and watch, can I?" he yelled back to her. "You are the one who should be leaving!" "I'm not going to watch you die like Piccolo alright!? I can try and do something!"
Cell smirked at #16 and #18. "You can't escape me. It's over. You had a small window of opportunity to defeat me, but now it's too late." he said. 'Okay Tien, what would Goku do if he were here?' Tien asked himself. "Tien? Are you listening to me?" Furipa shouted to him. 'He'd do everything he could to keep that android away from Cell! Even die…' Furipa looked at him. "Tien?!" "I'm sorry Furipa, but you have to leave now…" "But…" "NOW!" he shouted to her. Furipa gulped and walked a away from him, pulled out her capsule and threw one to the ground, making her air scouter appear. "Just be careful Tien!" she shouted and jumped to the machine and flew away.
"Ahh, new look." he said, examining himself over the water. "Much more comunry than the last. Merging with #18 will have a similar effect. I can't wait!" Cell said, looking back to them. #16 growled as he gave a punch to Cell's face. But gasped when it made no impression on him. Cell simply chuckled. Jumping back, #16 watched as Cell opened his hand. "#16 no! Look out!" #18 shouted. Cell then blasted him the head, making him fly backwards in pain.
#18 turned to look at #16, hoping he was okay. He turned towards them, missing a portion of his head, his circuits showing and flickering. "So…Android #18, it's your turn, come here!" Cell commanded. "I'm not listening to anything you say." she said to him. "Look what you've done! You're a monster!" she yelled more, looking at him angrily.
"Hmm, feisty…" he said, smirking. "Why don't you just go back to wherever you came from?!" she demanded. "I'm on the verge of becoming a god. What do you think?" he asked her, chuckling. "My dear android…When will you understand that you belong to me?" #18 watched him, disgusted by his whole speech. He then licked his lips, making her cringe in more disgust. "Well, shall we get started? Just relax, you know the routine…" he said, walking towards her.
She backed away from him, watching him come closer and closer. She frowned more. "Stay where you are. I'm warning you." she placed her hand over her chest. "One step closer and I'll detonate." she said, making him stop. "Huh? Extinguish yourself? You wouldn't dare!"
"Oh no? Just try me." she said. "Anything is better than merging with you. I'm not a creature like you are, we're completely different. How can I be part from you?" she asked him. "I've think I know someone who can answer that for you…" and suddenly, Cell started to use #17's voice. "Hey #18, what's up, don't worry, it's me, #17." #18 gasped. "What's the deal? You're scared huh? Don't worry look, I'm fine." as she looked, she started to see him even. She was suspicious. "I know it's hard to understand, but we are meant to be together as part of Cell, once you've join us, it will all come clear."
"Join you? Are you sure?" she asked, taking her hand away from herself. "#18, would I ever do anything to hurt you?" he asked with his sweet innocent sounding voice. "Don't listen to him, that's not #17, Cell's using his voice to trick you!" #16 suddenly said, snapping Cell from his voice acting. "Quiet you fool! You only have half a plane left, you have no idea what you're talking about. " he turned to #18 again. "Please continue, #17."
"You do whatever you want #18, but doesn't it make sense? To do what doctor Gero intended and become one ultimate being above all others?" #18 snapped out, she knew something was up. "It's what we were made for, there is no higher purpose for us!" #17 image started to fade, as Cell's replaced it instead. "I'm not buying it, that's not #17!" she yelled at him.
Cell frowned. "#17 loved the person he was, this life was a fascinating game to him, and he wouldn't trade it for anything, especially not to be part of you!" "You fool, you'll mind it, whether you like it or not, so just accept it." She returned placing her hand over her chest. "Go ahead and try, but how many seconds will you need, atleast a few to gather energy for the blast, but I will stop you before then. All I need is a second to get to you, but you need atleast a handfull to get the job done." he said, chuckling. "Add it up. Come to me." he demanded again. #18 backed away once more, while #16 tried to get up. "No…" he said, grunting from the pain.
Cell stopped and looked up when he felt a energy above him. "What does that no good count think he's doing?" He asked as he watched Tien above him. "I'm doing the only right thing, I'm stopping you." he said, looking down to them. "You fool, you've seen you're no match for me." Tien then placed his hands together in a triangle shape. "I might just be a pot hole in the road to you big guy, but it's going to be one heck of a deep pot hole!" he said, his aim locked on Cell. "TAKE THIS YOU!" he shouted as he powered up. Cell gasped as he yelled "TRI-BEAM, HA!" and shot him.
As he was hit by the attack, #18 was taken down by the force of it. Furipa gasped when she sensed the power. "W-What is he doing?!" she yelled as she decided to turn back. "#18…Are you okay?" #16 asked. "I'm fine, I think." she said, getting up and looking behind her. "There you go Cell, a little credding from the no account." Tien said as he panted. 'Alright big guy, I know you're down there somewhere. And I bet you're raging mad, aren't you? Oh boy Tien, you've really done it this time!' thought, as he watched the hole. #18 watched him and Tien turned to her. "Why are still here?! Get out of here right now!" he shouted, as Cell came flying from the depths of the hole, raging mad.
Tien then blasted him down again, making the hole even bigger. #18 jumped to #16 and helped him up. "Can you fly?" she asked him. "I will try to." he said as Tien kept pushing Cell down, buying them some time. "You go #18, I can't fight anymore…" #16 said. "Yes you can! Let's go!" she shouted to him. "Hey! I can help him!" Furipa shouted from above them. Both looked up at her. "We don't have much time, so let's go!" She yelled again. #18 nodded and grabbed #16 and helped him to sit behind her on the scouter. Furipa then pulled the peddle to the medal, and blasted off, #18 right behind them.
AND ANOTHER IS DONE! WOO! yes, now please R&R! I preciate it!
