FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL!
"Tien!" Krillin shouted," You need to wake up. I can sense that Piccolo's energy has gotten much weaker."
Tien slowly rose to all fours. He felt refreshed and ready to fight.
"Let's go." Krillin stated. Tien nodded and followed Krillin's lead as they sped off to help in the fight against Cell.
Meanwhile…
Piccolo slowly rose to his feet to face the new Cell. The beak was replaced by a mouth, a bulky frame upgrade from the scrawny build.
"I would like to thank you for helping me achieve this." Cell mockingly thanked Piccolo with a bow. Piccolo caught his breath before he stretched his arms out to Cell. Cell was caught by surprise when the Namekian grabbed both of his sides.
Cell was quickly dragged by Piccolo and was stopped by a knee to the chest. Cell laughed before punching Piccolo in the stomach.
Damn… damn it! Piccolo thought.
Cell's face quickly morphed into a devilish smirk. Cell lifted Piccolo off of the ground and above his head.
"HAAH!" Cell shouted as beam of energy ripped through Piccolo's stomach. Piccolo's eyes rolled over into the back of his head, the pain causing him to pass out. Cell quickly grabbed Piccolo's gi with his other free hand.
"You'll love this you bastard." Cell whispered into Piccolo's ear. Cell quickly brought Piccolo's back onto his knee before punting him into the ocean. The evil android's spree of horror was only beginning.
"18, you need to stay put." 16 ordered. 18 looked to her side to find empty space. 16 was already heading towards Cell, possibly to make a diversion. Cell turned to face 16 with a sadistic smile.
"Ah, 16." Cell stated. Cell stepped forward and licked his lips. 16 got into a fighting stance and let out a low growl. Cell quickened his pace before being stopped by a fist to the face.
"What the hell was that?" Cell asked. Cell had his answer in the form of another punch to the face. Cell flew at 16 with astonishing speed.
"You're not going to live long while I'm around." Cell stated before kicking 16 into the side of a small hill. 16 got back up and started attacking Cell with a barrage of punches, kicks, and elbows. Cell was taking small amounts of damage, but nothing near what is needed to put him down.
"HAAAAHH!" Okara yelled as he kicked Vegeta in the side of the head. Vegeta took the hit and replied with a punch to the ankle. Trunks tackled Vegeta and started to pound his face into the ground.
"STOP!" Okara yells out at Trunks. Trunks gets off of Vegeta with a look of confusion.
"Why did you tell me to stop Okara?" Trunks asked. Okara pointed at the clock, 24 hours have passed. Trunks looks at the clock and nods. Vegeta gets up and smiles.
"We did well, but I'm clearly the strongest of the three of us." Vegeta stated. Trunks and Okara shared a look before leaving.
"What's taking them so long? We need to hurry up and save Mr. Piccolo!" Gohan yelled.
"I don't know son, but I do know that you need to stay patient." Goku replied. Gohan opened his mouth but no sound came out. Trunks, Okara, and Vegeta walked out with a new-found power. Goku looked impressed as Vegeta walked up to him.
"Once I kill Cell, we will finish things Kakarot."
"I'll be looking forward to it Vegeta."
Mean while…
16 held Cell above his head before throwing him down. 16 removed both of his hands and charged up two large blasts.
"GO TO HELL!" 16 yelled out as he hit Cell with two large energy attacks. Cell slowly got back to his feet before laughing.
"That hurt a little 16." Cell stated before kicking 16 in the side of the head. 18 blasted Cell in the back before he had a chance to finish 16 off. Cell slowly turned around to face Android 18.
"HEY CELL! YOU FORGOT SOMEONE!" Tien yelled out. Krillin was just a few feet above Tien.
"SOLAR FLARE!" Krillin shouted out with his hands on each side of his face. Cell was temporarily blinded, giving 18 an opening to escape. 18 grabbed 16 and ran away to a nearby island for cover. Krillin opened his eyes and started to search for 18.
"TAKE THIS!" Tien shouted, his hands coming together to make a triangle.
"TRI-BEAM!" Tien hit Cell with multiple ki waves, making a huge square crater. Tien continued his assault until he was drained of all of his energy. Cell flew out of the crater and looked around for Tien's soon to be corpse.
"I'm not going to let you kill my friends, so I'm going to take them to safety now." Goku stated. Cell looked around and questioned if he was finally losing it. Goku picked up Tien and Piccolo before giving Cell one last look. Then Goku vanished and left Cell dumbfounded.
Cell flew up into the air to search for Androids 16 and 18.
"COME OUT 18!" Cell ordered. Android 18 looked up and felt fear build up inside of her as Cell started shouting right above them. Krillin was on the same island for the same reasons as Android 18, he needed some cover to hide from Cell.
"If you'd stop having a hissy fit then maybe you could fight a true challenger."
"Who just insulted me?" Cell turned around to see Okara, Vegeta and Trunks floating right in front of him. Vegeta pointed to himself with a cocky smile before pointing to the island below. Vegeta landed first followed Okara and Trunks. Cell was the last to land, and was laughing the entire way down.
"You are a true imbecile." Cell stated. Vegeta's smirk turned sadistic as he transformed into a bulkier version of the Super Saiyan transformation. Cell looked on in horror as he seen Vegeta's power rise.
What the hell?! Is that actually Vegeta? Android 18 thought. Vegeta cackled as he landed a heavy blow to Cell and Cell's pride. Cell stumbled backwards as he tried to regain his footing. Vegeta vanished and reappeared behind Cell, kicking him in the back and then following Cell to uppercut him.
I'm getting thrown around like a ragdoll! Cell thought as he was getting pummeled by Vegeta. Vegeta let up and allowed Cell to regain his breath.
"18, you should leave." 16 stated. 18 shook her head and watched as the battle raged on. Krillin snuck up behind Android 18 and froze.
Do I want to do this? I mean, I could let her go. She would be fine, wouldn't she? I don't want to kill her because… oh…
"18, run." Krillin stated as he stepped out from behind the side of a rock wall. 18 turned around and opened her mouth wide at the sight of the remote. However, her happiness would turn into worry as Krillin smashed the remote.
"Krillin, you idiot!" 18 yelled. Krillin was surprised by her reaction before he realized what he had just done.
"Oh no…" Krillin said.
Vegeta laughed at all of Cell's feeble attempts to hurt him. Cell was getting frustrated and wanted to kill Vegeta as quickly as he could.
I know what to do now. Cell thought. He raised his hands and started to charge a purple energy between them. Vegeta laughed even harder now realizing that Cell was trying to kill him with his own attack.
"GALICK GUN!" Cell yelled. Vegeta reflected the attack and destroyed a section of trees.
KRILLIN YOU IDIOT! Trunks and Okara thought in unison. Cell noticed 18 right behind Vegeta and was able to quickly think of a plan.
"Vegeta, wouldn't you rather have an opponent worthy of your might?" Cell asked. Vegeta stopped and smirked at Cell's question.
"Go ahead, I need a true opponent." Vegeta stated. Cell bowed and then went off to absorb Android 18. Okara and Trunks stopped Cell momentarily by attacking him. Vegeta got Okara and Trunks away by kicking them in the abdomen. Cell took advantage of the distraction and quickly flew to Android 18.
Krillin tried to keep Cell away but failed in the long end. Cell quickly slapped Krillin away and continued to walk towards 18. Trunks was able to get away from Vegeta and had Okara continue to distract their father.
"Cell! You will not continue to wreak havoc anymore!" Trunks yelled as he blasted Cell in the back. Cell quickly turned around and started to charge his energy.
"SOLAR FLARE!" Cell yelled as he temporarily blinded everyone. Cell quickly absorbed Android 18 before anyone had the chance to recover. When they did recover, they found Cell engulfed by a bright green light.
Once Cell had finally transformed he looked sleeker and had a nose. Cell now has a crown and the tail has shrunk, only leaving the part that was used to stab people remained. Cell flexed his muscles and looked at each and every part of his body that his eyes were able to land on.
"Perfection." Cell complimented himself. Cell smiled as he signaled for Vegeta to attack him. Vegeta started to get angry and kicked Cell in the side of the head.
"If that was your full strength then I am disappointed." Cell stated. Vegeta started to hit Cell with a barrage of punches and kicks before Cell turned his attention to Android 16.
"So, 16 how are you now?" Cell asked. Vegeta punched Cell in the cheek and stopped the assault to catch his breath. Cell turned around to Vegeta and punched him with enough force to send him through multiple mountains. Vegeta quickly flew up into the air and started to charge his energy.
"TAKE THIS CELL!" Vegeta yelled at the top of his lungs. The whole earth shook as Vegeta charged up his attack. His arms were outstretched to each side and started to shake.
"He's going to kill us all!" Krillin shouted. Okara and Trunks tried to plead with Vegeta to stop but were a second too late. Vegeta brought his hands down in front of him and started to focus the energy into a monstrous beam attack.
"FINAL FLASH!" Vegeta yelled as he fired his attack. Cell didn't move and took the attack head on. Vegeta destroyed most of Cell's body but was too weak to move. Cell quickly regenerated all of his lost body parts and then started laughing.
"Okara, let's go." Trunks pointed at Cell. Okara nodded and transformed into a Super Saiyan. Okara charged at Cell and kneed him in the chest. Cell stumbled backwards and was surprised by Okara's strength. Trunks stood back and charged his energy.
"Um… aren't you gonna help him Trunks?" Krillin asked. Trunks pointed at Vegeta and then to Krillin's bag of Senzu beans. Krillin nodded and headed off to Vegeta.
"Krillin, make sure he doesn't see Trunks and I ok?" Okara asked. Krillin nodded and picked Vegeta up and took him to a different location. Trunks finally transformed into a version of Super Saiyan with huge bulging muscles.
"So, that's why you were attacking me then?" Cell asked. Okara nodded and continued attacking and was then joined by his brother. Okara punched Cell in the stomach and then Trunks kicked him in the side of the head. The barrage of attacks continued until Cell started dodging their attacks.
"Why can't we hit him anymore?" Okara asked Trunks. Cell smiled and laughed.
"You two are just too weak and way too slow. That transformation is way too easy to do but it damages your speed." Cell replied. Trunks looked down and started to realize that his tactic wasn't going to work. Cell kicked Trunks down to the ground and then threw Okara into a small mountain.
