Chapter 10: The Training Begins!

Itachi and Jeice flew towards Master Roshi's island while the red skinned alien held Launch, whom held on tightly as Jeice held her bridal style. "You okay?" Jeice asked Launch as she was holding her arms around him pretty tightly.

"Yeah, just a lot of wind, that's all." Launch replied with her eyes closed from all the wind blowing at her face.

"We should be arriving at the island very shortly, then we can drop her off and go and train." Itachi said.

"I can't wait to see everyone again, this is going to be such fun." Launch said with a happy excited giggle.

"Yes, fun… While a group of killer androids and a bug android is hunting all of us down and we go into hiding, yeah very fun." Itachi said sarcastically which Launch failed to notice.

"So, captain, do you really think there is a form beyond a Super Saiyan?" Jeice asked with curiosity, and he was actually also slightly frightened by the thought of a form more powerful than a Super Saiyan.

"There should be, last time I checked there was no rule saying one can't grow stronger, nor any rule about there being a limited amount of transformations one can achieve." Itachi replied.

"But, what would you even call that form? Ultra Saiyan? Mega Saiyan? Maximum Overdrive Saiyan?" Jeice asked with a hint of mockery in his tone, which did not go unnoticed by Itachi.

"Does it really matter what the forms name will be? It's just a transformation and nothing more, no need to give it a name." Itachi said, not really seeing the point in naming something like a transformation.

"Then how will I know when your using it?" Jeice asked.

"Oh, I don't know, maybe by noticing my appearance changed, or that my power level increases dramatically." Itachi said in a sarcastic tone.

"Yeah, okay I get it, stupid question…" Jeice said with a little sweat running down his forehead. "Oh! Is that the island?" Jeice spotted a small island with a pink house on it.

"Yes, that would be it." Itachi replied as they flew down towards the house.

"Oh, it hasn't changed a bit." Launch said with a happy smile as she lightly clapped her hands.

Once they landed and entered the house, Master Roshi backed up in shock. "Oh no… She's back!"

"Hi master Roshi." Launch smiled happily.

"For the love of god, don't let her sneeze!" Roshi sweated while trembling in fear.

"Hey Launch, it's been awhile." Yamcha greeted.

"Umm, who are you again?" Launch tilted her head to the side as she didn't recognize him, making the former bandit fall over.

"I-It's me, Yamcha, remember?" Yamcha sweat dropped.

"Oh! Yamcha! I hardly recognized you!" Launch finally recognized him. "Oh! Hi there turtle, it's been awhile." Lanuch greeted the old turtle that smiled at her. She then went on to greet her friends that she hadn't seen in a long time, until she came across Gohan. "Wow! You look like Goku when he was a kid. You must be his son."

"Yeah, I'm Gohan." Gohan smiled at this friendly woman.

"Wow, your so cute and adorable." Launch giggled happily making the young half breed Saiyan blush faintly.

"Okay, she's going to stay here until the android problem is dealt with. Anyway, me and Jeice are off to train, come one Jeice." Itachi was in a rush to grow stronger.

"Yeah, comin' captain. You gonna be okay?" Jeice looked over at Launch whom just smiled friendly at him.

"Oh, I will be fine. Thank you for everything Mr. Jeice." Launch bowed politely, Jeice nodded as he walked out the door with Itachi and flew off, while looking back at the house from the corner of his eye, which Itachi noticed.

"Something wrong?" Itachi asked his closest friend.

"Wh-What? N-No it's nothing really…" Jeice replied as he kept his eyes forward.

"You seem to be attached to that Launch woman, how come?" Itachi asked.

Jeice widened his eyes a bit. "N-No it's not like that, I don't know… it's just that well, she's a strange one…"

"Oh? Never seen you act like that about a female before, usually you just show off, take them to their home, and leave the next morning before they wake up." Itachi said with a deadpan expression.

"Could you please not mention my past mistakes…" Jeice said with a sweat drop.

"Hn. Anyway, we need to find a perfect spot to train, it should be somewhere that is not overly populated, a wasteland perhaps." Itachi pondered over various options.

"Perhaps we could use the gravity chamber in Bulma's spaceship?" Jeice suggested.

"No, we already reached the max level, besides the space in that ship is too small. We need something bigger." Itachi said and went back to thinking. As they were flying over the ocean, suddenly a massive blue ki-wave that was the Kamehameha wave flew right past them. "What the?" Itachi widened his eyes and looked towards the source seeing that it came from the old Turtle man's house on the island.

"I take it Goku is awake…" Jeice uttered as they both just floated over the ocean while looking towards the source were the island was.

"…" Itachi began thinking, who better than Goku knows where to go and train on this planet. "Jeice, lucky you, you get to see that woman again." Itachi smirked and flew back towards the island.

"W-Wait what?!" Jeice blushed faintly and quickly realized that Itachi was flying away. "Hey captain! Wait up!" Jeice flew after Itachi.

As Itachi was flying back he saw Goku's wife, ChiChi flying up in the air while screaming. She kept screaming until she realized she wasn't falling anymore, she opened her eyes and looked up seeing Itachi holding her by her right wrist. "I take it your husband is awake."

"You think…" ChiChi said with a deadpan expression and looked down on the island. "Goku!" ChiChi shouted down at Goku whom was smiling nervously while chuckling nervously as well and scratching his right cheek.

"Sorry about that ChiChi…" Goku uttered.

Jeice arrived shortly after and they all went into the room where Goku rested earlier. "Goku, you have missed a hell of a day!" The old master Roshi said as Goku tightened his gi belt.

"Oh I know everything. I learned it in my pirate dream. I was having a ninja dream too, but it ended." Goku said which was to everyone's confusion.

"Ninja dream?" Itachi questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh yeah, I was occupied in that dream with becoming kakage, or hakage, or was it hokaga?" Goku rubbed his chin with a raised brow.

"Hokage." Itachi said.

"Yeah, that's it!" Goku smiled and Itachi widened his eyes in surprise. "And there was this duckbutt hair man who wanted fight his brother, he reminded me of Vegeta, a lot of anger issues, and he was looking down on me a lot. He was kind of emo." Goku said and Itachi had wide eyes of shock. "Hey, that duckbutt guy's brother looked just like you! Except you look healthier… " Goku pointed at Itachi with a wide smile.

"…" Itachi looked like he had seen a ghost and they all looked at him in confusion. "Wh-Whatever…" Itachi uttered having enough of walking down a trip memory lane.

"Alright, now listen. I know you just woke up, so-" ChiChi went up to Goku.

"Yeah, I was outta commission for a while! I really oughta get back to training…" Goku said with an ignorant smile while ChiChi growled at him. "… so I can fight Cell!" Goku said and ChiChi's growling increased. "What? I-If you're worried about Gohan, I'll bring him along with me!"

ChiChi let out a sigh. "Fine."

"Huh?" Goku had a look of confusion same as the rest of the people in the room.

"Go ahead, go train! Take Gohan. Fight your evil android bug monster! But I want you to promise me one thing…" ChiChi said with a stern look.

"Okaaay… What's that-" Goku asked and ChiChi quickly responded with a joyful tone.

"I want another baby!"

"Mmm, mmm… K, bye!" Goku suddenly grabbed onto Itachi and Jeice and vanished with Instant Transmission.

"Uhh… was that a yes?" Roshi questioned.

"It wasn't a no!" ChiChi said happily.

"Mmm! Mmm! K, bye." Roshi said.

Goku, Itachi and Jeice arrived at a ship with Krillin, Tien, Piccolo, Yamcha and Gohan. "I'm taking Gohan, bye!" Goku said.

"Wha-?" Before Gohan could finish they vanished with Instant Transmission. Then they arrived at a wasteland where Trunks was sitting watching Vegeta whom was looking out in the distance.

"I will never get used to that…" Itachi said with a stoic expression.

"What just happened?" Gohan was still progressing what just happened.

"Goku, Itachi, Jeice and Gohan!" Trunks said taken a little aback.

"I'll fill you in later, Gohan. Hey, Trunks! How's the training coming?" Goku asked the time traveler.

"I don't know, let's see… Hey dad, do you wanna train with me?!" Trunks asked Vegeta whom was still standing on a cliff looking out in the vast distance.

"Fuck off!" Vegeta shouted back.

"About that well." Trunks answered Goku's question.

"Hey Prince of nothing! Stop crying over the fact that you got your ass kicked by a girl!" Itachi shouted at Vegeta.

"Fuck you!" Vegeta shouted back.

"Hmm, he seems a bit mopey. I will go talk to him." Goku said and flew over to Vegeta. "Hey Vegeta!" Goku greeted and Vegeta let out a growl. "I heard you lost your fight pretty bad."

"He got his arm broken by a girl!" Itachi added making Vegeta growl even louder.

"But you know what they say, Vegeta. When you fall off that horse, you get right back up, and you eat that horse. Come eat that horse with me Vegeta." Goku said.

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Vegeta questioned.

"That's what I would like to know." Itachi flew over to them and listened in to what Goku had to say.

"Oh, I just found a place where we can do a whole year's worth of training in a day." Goku said and the other two Saiyans began to listen.

"Continue." Itachi said.

"It's up on Kami's Lookout. Although, now I guess it's just the Lookout. Either way, they call it the…" Goku said and in the very next moment they were on a floating Lookout high up in the sky.

"Hyperbolic Time Chamber." A black skinned genie looking guy with big red lips finished.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!" Vegeta shouted in horror at the black genie.

"I have no fucking idea…" Jeice said having the same look of horror.

They were then lead to a door. "Here it is, maggots – the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Inside time moves at 365.24 times that of this dimension. In Goku terms. One day out here – one year in there. And only two of you maggots can enter at a time." The genie, Mr. Popo explained.

"I call dibs!" Itachi declared.

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"Motherfucker!" Vegeta shouted.

"So, this chamber, is there anything I need to make sure I don't do while I'm in it?" Itachi asked the black genie, Mr. Popo.

"If you destroy the house, you get stuck there." Mr. Popo replied.

"What's your plan for when you go in anyway?" Itachi looked over at Goku.

"Hmm, I don't know, I was planning on just finding a way to get stronger with my Super Saiyan form. Hmm, maybe just getting used to it?" Goku began thinking on what to do once he got in the chamber himself.

"You're a fricking genius…" Itachi said astonished and everyone else looked at him in confusion.

"I am?" Goku asked with a smile.

"Well you're a battle genius. Okay then, come on Jeice." Itachi turned towards the door that was suddenly shut closed and all that was heard was Vegeta's laughter coming from inside and Trunks saying sorry. "Short ass lousy midget… I will take a nap, wake me up when the midget gets out." Itachi sighed and sat down and leaned up against a pillar and fell asleep.

For Itachi everything was dark, from his point of view it was like he stood in a dark space. And the next thing he knows, he begins to hear voices, voices of the past, of old friends long gone. Images of his old and new life, images of Izumi Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, Fugaku Uchiha, Mikoto Uchiha, Sasuke Uchiha. Then silence as the voices that belonged to those people vanished, then images of Fasha, Tora, Bardock, Gine and a bright light followed by screams and an explosion. Then an image of… Android 18, an image he never thought he would see, the next thing he sees is the bug Android, Cell and a swing from that monster's tail followed by what sounded like 18 screaming. Itachi then woke up, sweating a little and panting. 'Wh-What was that about…?' He thought and rubbed his temple. Itachi walked over to the others andthen he noticed that Goku and Gohan looked rather worried and concerned about something. "Something wrong?"

"Android 17 got absorbed by Cell, and Piccolo got his ass beat, and Tien almost died from using too much energy." Gohan explained it to them.

"Yeah! And we can't do anything to help them!" Goku gritted his teeth in frustration.

"… C-Couldn't you just use Instant Transmission, grab both Tien and Piccolo, and Instant Transmission back?" Itachi questioned with a raised brow.

"…"

"…"

"…"

Goku vanished using Instant Transmission. "D-Did he forget that he could do that?" Gohan questioned.

"Your father's an idiot!" Popo said.

"The question is, why did you guys forget that he could do that and didn't remind him that he could do that?" Itachi said and the room was filled with silence.

"Huh… good point." Gohan said.

Goku then popped back out at the Lookout, carrying both Piccolo and a panting Tien. "Cell looks funny now…" Goku randomly said.

"Here you go, Senzu Beans." Gohan gave both Tien and Piccolo a Senzu Bean each, and instantly they recovered. "You two okay?"

"Yeah. We may not have Dragon Balls, but I guess Senzu Beans are a close second." Tien said.

"It was a good thing I showed up when I did. Cell was about to kill ya." Goku said.

"Well that's all good, but all that happened was that Tien ended up stalling him a bit. Now he's alone to hunt down Android 18, and we don't have anyone with the strength to stop him!" Piccolo said looking concerned about what Cell's Perfect Form might be like, if this one was so strong.

"Your worthless maggot friends are coming out!" Popo shouted.

"Or do we?!" Gohan said.

"No Gohan, we haven't gone in yet." Goku said completely overlooking Vegeta.

"Wow really Goku?" Piccolo sweat dropped.

The door to the chamber opened and out walked Trunks whom had grown his hair longer, and Vegeta looked the same as when he went in. "Hey Vegeta! Wow you guys sure got strong, huh?" Goku said.

"That's right, Kakarot… and you wouldn't believe just how much. You see while I was training in the depths of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber I looked deep within myself and through all of that I have ascended. That's right, I have reached a new level. Do you hear me Kakarot? Itachi? I am finally stronger than both of you!" Vegeta boasted his own ego.

"Neat!" Goku responded with a smile.

"Fuck you!" Vegeta cursed.

"I bet that will end in a day from now." Itachi said with a smirk making Vegeta growl at him in rage.

"Also, fuck you too!" Vegeta clenched his fist.

"Anyway, I'm claiming my turn this time." Itachi said and walked towards the door. "Come on Jeice!"

"Right away sir!" Jeice followed after Itachi into the room. Itachi and Jeice looked around seeing a vast empty white space with only a house with two massive hourglasses on the sides of the house. "It's… It's overwhelming, it's nothing but a void, I can't see where it ends, or where it begins… I'm sorry captain, I need time, time to adjust…" Jeice said.

"Yeah, no, start training." Itachi said harshly and punched Jeice in his right cheek sending him flying back.

"Argh… ow…" Jeice groaned.

"Get back up." Itachi demanded.

"Yes sir…" Jeice was shaking a little by the dark look Itachi was giving him. "So, what you will increase your Super Saiyan forms power?"

"No…" Itachi said and Jeice raised his brow in confusion. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I will follow Goku's advice. I need to first get fully used to being a Super Saiyan before even thinking of even trying to go further." Itachi said and he began powering up until his hair went all Super Saiyan golden and spiky and his eyes turned green.

"But, how can you get more used to this form than you already are?" Jeice questioned.

"Simple, I will remain a Super Saiyan, I won't go back to my normal state during the entire time we're in here. How long it will take until I get used to it, is another question entirely." Itachi replied and the Super Saiyan glow vanished, but he still kept up his golden spiky Super Saiyan hair. "Now then, let's continue." Itachi went into fighting stance and Jeice nodded and did the same.

After just 6 months of training, Itachi was still in his Super Saiyan form and threw a barrage of punches at Jeice whom also threw a barrage of punches back at Itachi. Then suddenly Itachi bounced back. "That's enough, we're done in here."

"Wait, what, but we still got 6 months left…" Jeice had a look of confusion.

"I have completed the first step of my training, I have fully adapted to my Super Saiyan state, but to complete the next stage will take too long. I have no idea how to even do it, and to find out would take longer than 6 months. And we're in a rush with the Androids and Cell trying to absorb the remaining Android, 18. It is best we just go and finish it before he absorbs her and gets stronger." Itachi explained and walked towards the exit with Jeice following right after him. "Besides, I have already grown way stronger than Cell and those Androids." They opened the door and were met by Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Tien and Mr. Popo.

"Oh, you guys done already?" Goku questioned.

Itachi let out a sigh. "Yes, we are." Itachi said in a calming tone, and while looking calm despite being a Super Saiyan, and he was letting out a calm relaxing aura.

"So, got any stronger?" Gohan questioned.

"Hell yeah kid!" Jeice replied with a smirk.

"Hey, you're still in your Super Saiyan form." Goku pointed out.

"I took your advice and have learned how to use the form without it draining my stamina." Itachi replied and they looked at him astonished.

"Awesome! So you got used to being Super Saiyan!" Goku said with excitement.

"Anyway, could you Instant Transmission me to where Cell and Vegeta are?" Itachi requested.

"Oh, yeah sure no problem! Grab onto my shoulder." Goku said and Itachi did just that.

"Do you want me to come with you, sir?" Jeice asked.

"No, you're not strong enough to deal with Cell. I'm sorry to say this but you would just get in the way, I will do this on my own… I just hope Vegeta hasn't gone and done something stupid." Itachi replied and Jeice had a look of understanding as to why he was being left behind.

"Well, he's about to screw it up, so you might want to hurry." Piccolo said and Itachi let out a deep sigh.

"Let's go." Itachi said, and the very next moment Goku and Itachi vanished in a flash with Instant Transmission.

"Are you sure Itachi can do this?" Gohan looked over to their red skinned alien humanoid friend.

"Hn, he will be just fine, his way stronger than ever before, that bug will end up being nothing but a stain underneath his boot, you'll see." Jeice said with a grin.

Itachi and Goku arrived hovering an island, with a lot of remains from other islands floating in the water, looking like they were destroyed, and on the island just beneath the two Saiyans were Vegeta and Cell both whom looked more bulkier, but Cell also had what looked like a green crown or something on his head, and he had some giant lips and his eyes looked icy blue just like Android 17's, they had yet to spot them. And all that was heard was Trunks screaming "NNNNOOOOOOOOO!"

"I will take it from here, you go back to the Lookout." Itachi said as the wind blew through his blond Super Saiyan hair.

"K, bye!" Goku said and vanished.

"Quiet boy!" Vegeta shouted and Trunks stopped screaming. "Now… continue." Vegeta looked at Cell whom smirked overconfidently.

"Thank you. You see, my dear Prince-" Cell began.

"Don't push it." Vegeta narrowed his gaze at Cell making the green bug monster sweat a little out of fear.

"Uh, you see, Vegeta, this is only my second form. I am merely semi-perfect." Cell pointed out.

"Wait, how can you be semi-perfect? Your either perfect or you're not me, there's no gray area." Vegeta said pridefully of himself.

"My point, is that this form was achieved by absorbing my brother, Android 17… and the only way I may obtain true perfection…" Cell smirked hoping Vegeta was going to take the bait.

"Is to absorb the bitch. So in summation: You get the Android, and I get a proper challenge." Vegeta crossed his arms and smirked overconfidently.

"Oh, I promise you Vegeta… you're going to get everything that's coming to you." Cell grinned maliciously.

"Ohoho! Ominous!" Vegeta got intrigued.

"And of course, he chooses that, well not that I can blame him with our Saiyan blood craving a thirst for battle." Itachi said with a sigh as even he struggled the urge to wanting to fight strong opponents sometimes with his Saiyan blood boiling in his veins. Itachi then noticed, Android 18 and 16 hiding from Cell behind a few rocks, and Krillin hiding from them behind another rock while holding something. "Guess I should check that out." Itachi vanished and reappeared behind Krillin and covered his mouth before he could yelp out of fear.

Once Itachi removed his hand from Krillin's mouth, Krillin looked at him. "Itachi? Wh-What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to fight Cell and stop him from becoming perfect, what is that in your hands?" Itachi asked seeing Krillin holding a remote of some kind with a big red button.

"I-It's a detonator… it could blow up the bomb in Android 18…" Krillin replied.

"Why haven't you pushed the button?" Itachi asked with a raised brow, how hard could it be to choose, take one life to save millions.

"Well, we don't have Dragon Balls anymore… so we can't bring her back if she dies and, well no one really deserves to die for no reason…" Krillin said while clenching his hand over the remote.

"Give me that." Itachi swopped the remote out of Krillin's hands. "We got Dragon Balls on Namek anyway, it's not like bringing her back is impossible." Itachi looked at the detonator and looked up at 18 whom still hadn't noticed them. 'Why? Why do I feel like this? It's just like how it was with Izumi… when I chose to kill her for the village… and the Shinobi world… yet, I know I have to…' Itachi thought and stepped forwards gaining the Androids attention, he then noticed that 16 looked rather beaten up which would explain why they haven't tried to fly away.

"Y-You?" 18 widened her eyes and backed up a little.

"Hey…" Itachi said calmly and she noticed the detonator in his hand. "I assume you know what this is."

"Y-Yeah…" 18 looked a little scared.

"Tell me, were you and your brother ever planning on killing anyone?" Itachi asked, feeling as if he had to know.

"What? No, we weren't going to kill anyone!" 18 declared looking a little offended that Itachi asked that.

"Except for Son Goku!" 16 declared.

Android 18 let out a deep sigh. "Don't mind him, it's just his programming…"

"Hn, I'm glad to hear you say that. That is what we were actually all worried about… Although, Cell seems not to follow what you and your brother were planning, he has to be stopped and prevented from reaching his perfect form… So, I'm sorry, but…" Itachi held up the remote and 18 closed her eyes knowing what he meant.

"I have to die, don't I?" 18 asked with a little sad smile.

"… I'm truly sorry, once this is over I will use the Dragon Balls on Namek to bring you and your brother back to life, I swear it. You have my word…" Itachi clenched his fist and walked up closer to her.

"I don't quite get the Namek part, but I do know what the Dragon Balls are… And, your serious… you would really do that?" 18 asked holding her hand over her chest.

"If I don't you can beat me up for it when I die." Itachi said jokingly with a small sad smile making her let out a light chuckle. "Although I'm pretty sure you will be going to the good side… unlike me." Itachi looked down, but looked up again once he felt 18's hand touch his cheek.

"Nah, I'm pretty sure a guy like you can get in the good side, besides who knows, maybe we both end up in hell." 18 gave him a little wink.

"If that happens, then they must be fools for sending you there." Itachi smiled and held his finger over the red button.

While this was happening Vegeta and Cell were still having their conversation. "Vegeta, this is the only chance you're going to get. If she slips away now, you'll never get the opportunity to fight me at my full potential. And let's be honest: Do you really think Goku can give you the challenge you deserve?" Cell smirked.

"You know, the funny thing is, I know your playin' me… but you're right. She's all yours." Vegeta smirked overconfidently.

"Oh-ho, thank you Vegeta! Trust me, great things are about to happen…" Cell smirked and began to levitate to return to his quest to find 18.

"Make it snappy! The boy's gotta be in bed by seven or he gets cranky." Vegeta mocked his own flesh and blood, once more.

Cell was about to fly when he was stopped by Trunks whom had gone into his Super Saiyan form. "Yeah, so I'm going to be the only voice of reason here and say absolutely not!" Trunks declared making Cell growl in anger. "Don't you get it?! He's just been feeding you everything you want to hear! He's playing you!" Trunks tried to warn his father.

"To be fair, I haven't lied since I got here." Cell pointed out.

"You're not involved in this anymore!" Trunks said.

"I'm feeling pretty involved…" Cell said.

"Boy, don't make me come up there and be a parent!" Vegeta warned his time traveling son.

"First time for everything!" Trunks retorted.

"Ohoho!" Vegeta was a little impressed over the fact that Trunks talked back to him, feeling a little pride in his own son.

"Wow, Vegeta, are you just going to stand there and take th-" Cell stopped midsentence as he spotted 18 and Itachi hugging each other.

"I will be with you to the very end…" Itachi said as he hugged her and was about to push the button.

"Thanks…" 18 said while shaking a little.

"Don't worry, I give you my word, I will bring you back…" Itachi closed his eyes and was about to push the button.

"No!" Cell screamed and flied towards them as fast as he could.

"Yes!" Trunks said and slammed Cell in the back stopping him, but was punched to the side by Vegeta and crashed into a pile of rubble.

"What?" Vegeta looked in the direction they were looking at and widened his eyes.

"… I know you will, thank you." 18 said and tightened her embrace as Itachi pushed the button.

"No!" Cell screamed as 18 let out a flash from her body, and exploded in a fiery explosion leaving only a big black cloud of burning smoke. Cell growled in anger, rage, he was outraged that his chance to become perfect wad gone. The smoke then cleared revealing Itachi with his upper body armor torn from the explosion, he was still in his Super Saiyan form and looked over at Cell with a cold glare. "Y-You! Itachi! Urrgh! Damn you!" Cell flew towards Itachi at high speed and threw a punch, Itachi tilted his head to the side, and before Cell knew it, he was suddenly smacked in the face by Itachi's fist making him fly crashing through a mountain. Cell climbed out from a crater looking rather shocked and taken aback by Itachi's speed. "Wh-What?! No, no not you too!"

"Your life ends here." Itachi sent Cell a cold glare that made the bug Android tremble in fear.

"Y-You! What did you do?! You destroyed my chance at becoming perfect!" Cell got up and growled at Itachi.

"There is no such thing as perfection, you would never had become perfect even if you absorbed 18." Itachi replied with a stoic expression that pissed Cell off.

"Argh! Damn you!" Cell threw a punch at Itachi whom vanished from his sight just when his fist was about to collide, and before he knew it, Cell felt a stabbing pain in his chest. He looked down to see Itachi's fist buried deep into Cell's chest. Cell's body was shaking as he vomited out a little blood. Cell backed up as the imprint of Itachi's fist was still visible in his chest.

"Now then…" Itachi moved at super speed and kneed Cell in the face, then grabbed the back of his head and slammed him into the ground. Making the crater they were in expand.

Cell crawled back up and growled at Itachi in pure rage, he looked at Itachi whom was standing on his right side. "Argh!" Cell swung his tail at Itachi, but he then looked confused as Itachi was gone, he then looked behind him to see Itachi standing on his tail.

"… let's finish this." Itachi finished what he was saying earlier and kneed Cell in the chin making him fall to his knees, Itachi then jumped down from Cell's tail and stood right in front of him, and punched him in the face sending him flying through the mountain once again and all the way to the other side of the island. Itachi used his super speed and arrived right onto the other side of the island, where a massive amount of the ground was dug up from Cell skidding through it, Cell had his back up against a massive rock that looked like it was about to shatter thanks to the impact from Cell's body earlier.

Cell glared at Itachi and growled in anger, before he gained a smirk. "I will absorb you! And then we will see how strong I will become!" Cell stabbed his tail towards Itachi whom stepped to the side and caught the tip of it between his right arm.

"A word of advice, don't announce your plan of attack right in front of your enemy." Itachi said with a cold glance, and Cell threw a punch, this time at greater speed, and this time it connected with Itachi's face, but, the Saiyan didn't budge an inch.

"Wh-What?! Ugh!" Cell questioned and was punched in the gut, Itachi then ripped Cell's tail clean off. "Argh! You bastard!" Cell growled and grew his tail back thanks to Piccolo's cells.

"That is it!" Trunks flew up from the rubble and glared at his father. "I am stopping this right now!"

"Oh? What are you doin'?!" Vegeta glanced over at Trunks.

"What am I doing?"

"Thwartin' ma plans?!"

"Thwarting your plans?!"

"Are you?!"

"You know what?! Yes!" Trunks sent a ki-wave at Vegeta sending him flying away.

"FUCK!" Vegeta screamed as he was sent flying.

"And there goes Vegeta…" Cell uttered when suddenly something happened inside his brain. "Android Unit 18 has been destroyed. Activating safety back up protocol 01." A computer like voice said inside of Cell's head filling it with data, Cell widened his eyes and smirked as he looked over at 16 that wasn't too far away. He then flew away from Itachi at high speed.

"Hn, trying to run away? I don't think so." Itachi flew after him, not at full speed, as his Saiyan blood was boiling out of excitement to bring Cell a world of pain and toying with him. But then he noticed that Cell was eyeing 16. "Wait a minute? Uh!" Itachi widened his eyes realizing that Cell was trying to pull something. "Oh, no you don't!" Itachi increased his speed and closed in on Cell whom swiftly turned around.

Solar Flare!

Cell released a bright flashy light, blinding Itachi, he then flew towards 16 whom was too weak to move. He then opened his tail widely and slammed it down on 16's head while letting out a crazed laughter as he absorbed the big Android.

"Oh, no…" Krillin trembled in fear while hiding behind the rock.

"What?!" Trunks questioned as Cell let out a powerful aura from his body. "N-No!

"Yes!" Vegeta whom just came back shouted.

A small crater was formed and in the center stood Cell, his skin looking light green and his face looking handsomer, his tail tucked into his back, and his shoulders were broader. "Hello there, my name is Perfect Cell." Cell grinned.

"H-How?! I thought 18 and 17 were the only ones you could absorb to get perfect?!" Itachi clenched his fist.

"Funny story, seems Dr. Gero installed a safety protocol within me should one of the Androids get destroyed. That safety protocol being Android 16, and now, I have become, utterly and completely, perfect." Cell explained while letting out an ominous laughter. "And since you questioned my perfection, how about you test it out?" Cell smirked while glaring at Itachi. Cell slowly walked towards Itachi and Itachi slowly walked towards him, Cell began to release a tremendous amount of energy from his body, and Itachi flared up in a golden glow and unleashed his newfound power. Cell being taller than Itachi looked down on him with a smirk as they both powered up so much that the whole ground began to shake, even the very sky was shaking from their power. Cell threw a powerful devastating punch at Itachi whom slammed his fist forward into Cell's and once they connected, they sent a massive powerful shockwave.

That's the end for now!
