The group split as the Son's entered taking a brief lecture from Mr. Popo about rules (but we don't talk about that) and Vegeta and Jagama were soon after intercepted by Bulma who took the opportunity to subtly showcase her genius, pulling out a capsule full of armour similar to Vegeta's.
"Wow, these are pretty accurate to the real thing. Not a fan of the spandex though, it's a bit... tight." Spoke the teen as he subtly shifted the form fitting suit from giving him a wedgie, the Prince humfed at the words while Bulma gave a triumphant grin.
"What can I say? I am a genius afterall." The Prince rolled his eyes at that but he himself couldn't deny the woman's intelligence. Tien touched down as Jagama began stretching around in the suit, getting used to the feel.
"Was that you two powering up just now?" Jagama glanced up at the Triclops question, sending the weaker warrior a smirk before pulling on the white gloves. Tien couldn't help but scowl, he was getting left in the dust by these Saiyans. A pat on the back knocked him out of his thoughts and he turned to find Krillin and the Android.
"You know when this is over maybe we can have a go in there, a years intense training and maybe we could even give these Super-Saiyans a run for their money." The bald man gave a grin before turning and taking off, blonde Android in tow. Tien appreciated his comrades words but the simple fact was they would never close this gap. Shaking his head the warrior descended from the lookout, returning to his home to train, giving brief nods to Piccolo and Bulma as he left.
Bulma gave a friendly wave to the daydreaming Namekian before turning back to her Jetcopter, shushing baby Trunks in the passenger seat before returning to Capsule Corp. Piccolo turned his gaze to the yellow jet copter as it ascended, the turbines making his ears ring, before looking back to the two Saiyan warriors in front of him. The teen had fully equipped his new armour and was admiring the suit as he threw experimental attacks in the air, the Prince stood looking over the edge of the lookout obviously trying to sense out the bio-android. The Namek didn't doubt that Vegeta would jump the gun and take on the monster while Goku and Gohan took their turns in the time chamber, however having felt just a glimpse of the Princes new power and Piccolo wasn't too worried, this Cell, shouldn't be a threat anymore.
Krillin came to an abrupt stop halting 18's momentum with one arm as a familiar yellow ki disk sailed past slicing through the air, he and the Android blocked a storm of ki blasts as they attempted to locate the attacker. Krillin swung a fist around behind in time to catch the bio-android off guard before blasting the creature in an attempt to gain distance.
"You need to get out of here 18, quickly!" The androids intense blue's snapped onto the monk at his words.
"But what about you?!" The small man gave a sad smile.
"I'll buy as much time as I can, bit he's not here for me." 18 glanced between the monk and the rapidly approaching Android before phasing out of sight. Krillin gave a shaky exhale before charging the creature head on, earning himself a thunderous combo sending the dwarf spiralling into the ground below. Cell moved on quickly already following after the Android as she became a dot in the distance, the combined instincts of the most powerful warriors allowed the monster to a void the destructo disk as it whisked past. Cell looked back to the horizon to see the Android had vanished and growled down at the bald figure before phasing down beside him. The semi perfect being delivered a swift kick to the short man before crouching down into a low stance bringing his hands back as he chanted. Krillin managed to raise his head enough to see the ominous blue glow and two brown boots before darkness took him.
"KA... ME...HA...MEE...HAAAAAAAAAAA" Cell smirked as the destructive energy tore through the ground taking the resistant monk with it. His smirk quickly dropped as the dust clears to reveal the Android standing in front of the downed figure arms raised and skin smoking through the burnt holes of her clothes. The creatures swollen lips contorted into a wicked grin as he descended on the spent Android.
18 screamed as the monster attacked, it's tail lashing excitedly as she was pinned down by the odd creatures feet. She has returned when she saw Krillin go down, not being able to let the kind monk die. As the cone shaped tail enclosed around her she couldn't help by think it was worth it.
The three warriors on the lookout snapped to attention at the unfathomable power washing over the world. Piccolo glanced at the Saiyan only to see both had already taken off, Jagama leaving a superheated trail of air in his wake. Piccolo growled and followed, maintaining a steady speed, he knew he would need all his power to even contend in the upcoming fight.
Krillin was conscious enough to feel the terrifying power rise but his brain couldn't put together what it meant beyond danger, his fingers stretched out in the dirt in an attempt to pull himself forwards all he got was an intense pain shooting through his body. A moment passed as what little grasp he had on anything beyond pain faded before he became vaguely aware of being lifted through the air. Jagama glanced down at the bald man as he flew away from Cell, he wished he had though to bring some sense beans as they'd definitely need them. As he rested the short man down on a grassy patch he noted that Vegeta was still a ways away, the teen Saiyan knew it would be stupid to attack now without any backup, but, there wasn't really another option. The warrior settled his nerves as the golden aura enveloped him.
Cell released a genuine laugh as he observed his new form, and felt the depths of the power coursing through him. His pink eyes focused on the young Saiyan ahead of him and Cell allowed a malicious grin to overtake his face.
"Feast your eyes, upon my perfect form! You know I've met you before. It's thanks to your time machine that I'm here at all. After you took my chance at perfection away from me in your time, I followed you here. And now I shall enjoy sweet vengeance." Jagama growled as the monster disappeared, he already knew he couldn't win this but to see- or perhaps more accurately to not see the speed of Cell was another thing entirely. Acting purely on a bunch Jagama ducked down to the left seeing Cells leg cutting the air above him, not wasting the opportunity Jagama exploded his ki outwards, causing cell to stumble long enough for the time traveller to charge up ki into his fist the now glowing appendage launched into Cells abdomen with enough power to make the creature breathless before a follow up blast sent the grasshopper into the ground below. Jagama panted as he regained his breath. He felt real fear settle as Cell's presence disappeared from the crater, now looming behind him. The teen didn't have time to turn as a swift side kick sent him barrelling into a nearby rock before he was scorched by a volley of ki blasts.
Vegeta grunted as he felt the fluctuating ki ahead. He pushed harder on his power to go faster ignoring the burn of overexertion. He'd come to respect the boy in their time in the chamber, and he reluctantly admitted -if only to himself, that he might be genuinely affected by his death. Vegeta began channelling his ki into a blast as he approached the grasshopper like creature coming within range, the Prince slowed to a stop raising his right arm and with it a large blue ball of energy, letting out a shout as he fired the ball of condensed ki at the newly transformed Cell.
Jagama felt the heat as Cell was enveloped in the explosion, but he couldn't relax, the monster would recover in no time. Gathering his strength the young warrior joined Vegeta in the air.
"He heals, fast. We can't wear him down, we have to take him out in one go." The elder Saiyan scoffed pausing briefly to sense out the Namek.
"I'll take him myself." Jagama felt his jaw drop at the words, he had thought Vegeta had lost his arrogance in the time chamber but apparently not.
"What?! You can't! We have to work together Vegeta!" The Prince growled.
"Stay out of my way boy. He's mine." In a glare of golden ki Vegeta shot past the time traveller ploughing into a dazed Cell with both feet. Jagama frowned but decided to stay out of it for now. If the Prince could stall for long enough then he may be able to gather energy to take the creature out. Settling down the teen caught his breath as the battle escalated.
Piccolo touched down beside the teen, watching as Vegeta was sent plummeting into the ground by a sledgehammer blow from Cell. Glancing down the Namek noticed the boy seemed to be meditating, Piccolo frowned when the boys power seemed to be decreasing rather than increasing however. Mentally shrugging it off, the super Namekian decided he'd take the opportunity to power up and charge a special beam cannon.
Vegeta managed to roll onto his feet as the perfect being swatted him away once again, panting the warrior watched as Cell touched down in front of him, none the worse for wear. Vegeta felt his knees shake as he rose to full height, he already knew he couldn't win this, he'd known the moment the monsters power was unleashed like a beacon. He was only stalling so the boy could gather enough strength to end this. The Prince felt a humourless smile curl his mouth, just days ago he would've offed himself for this kind of weakness. Of course, for Vegeta, days ago was actually a year ago.
"I don't think you realise just how outmatched you are Vegeta." The Prince growled before lifting into the air. Cell frowned as the Saiyan spread out his arms and began gathering power, bored by the warriors attempts so far. Piccolo hastily steadied himself as the Princes power began rising rapidly, shaking the earth and creating a crater as the force of Vegeta's ki pushed away the rocks below. Dropping his charging attack Piccolo hastily pulled the still unconscious Krillin away from the barely controlled storm of power Vegeta was now emitting. Jagama looked up in surprise feeling the amount of power Vegeta was attempting to push into the attack, having trained with him in the chamber the young Saiyan knew this attack was powerful, but to charge it to this extent was potentially catastrophic. The teen let out a surprised yelp as a static bolt of lightning shot across, leaping back the time traveller observed Cell, noticing the creature had yet to move. If Cell was seriously going to attempt to take on that attack, they might be able to take him down.
Cell allowed a smirk to slip across his face as the Princes power rose further kicking up powerful gusts. He had expected that only Goku would challenge him, but it seemed that Vegeta had at least one trick up his sleeve.
"You underestimate a Saiyan power, if you really want to test your strength, stay right where you are!" Cell smirked at Vegeta's obvious goading, but decided he'd rise to the challenge increasing his arms the ultimate being raised readied himself for the attack. Jagama took a shaky step back as he realised that Vegeta was actually planning to fire that ridiculous amount of energy beside him Piccolo snarled.
"Is he insane, he'll destroy the planet." Jagama glanced back at the Namek.
"Insane or not this may be our only shot to take that thing down." Piccolo grunted and powered up, Jagama following suit. The two watched as Vegeta's ki materialised in bright ball of yellow energy.
"FIINAL FLAASH!" Cells smirk fell as he realised the sheer power behind the attack, bright light overwhelming him as the massive amount of power barrelled through him digging a bunch through the earth as the kind wave travelled into space.
