A/N: I will add the review responds at the very end of each chapter from now on. Also, sorry that this chapter took so long to make, just had a little issue with getting in contact with my co-writer. Okay, so I have started at college now so my writing time has been limited and I'm still getting used to my new schedule. So, for a few weeks now maybe, depending on how long it will take for me to get used to my new schedule, updates for each of my stories might take a little longer than normal. But I will still keep on writing whenever I have the time. And whenever I get in touch with my co-writer.
Chapter 11: Perfect Cell!
Itachi stood before the now Perfect Cell whom smirked confidently as he looked down upon Itachi, whom let out his new powerful Super Saiyan glow. "I wonder though, are you a disappointment like the prince? Or are you like Goku?" Cell questioned having no data on Itachi unlike the others.
Itachi then threw a powerful punch into Cell's gut making him lean forwards with his eyes widened. "Neither." Itachi said coldly and threw a powerful upper cut to Cell's jaw sending him flying. Itachi flew after him and brought his hands together and sledgehammered Cell into the ocean. A ki blast then came flying out from the ocean and towards Itachi whom slapped it to the side.
"Now I must say, this is a surprise. You actually hurt me a bit there. Now this, is a challenge." Cell smirked as he powered up even more.
"Mine! Mine! Mine!" Vegeta then flew crashing into Cell, sending him flying back a bit. "Stay out of this! He is mine!" Vegeta grinned in excitement for the challenge.
"How about you use your power sensing ability, and see just how much stronger he is than you for once." Itachi said which caused Vegeta to growl at him.
"Don't be absurd, there is no way he is stronger than me!" Vegeta declared.
Cell chuckled at the Prince's foolish pride. "Oh, my dear prince looks like I will just need to show you how wrong you are." Cell smirked when suddenly a disc shaped ki blast hit his neck, although didn't do anything. "Really? You use it first now and it doesn't even work? I mean, come on, there have been so many opponents in your time that you could have killed with that. And you use it first now?" Cell said mockingly to the bald Krillin whom trembled in fear. "Oh well," Cell then kicked Krillin sending him flying back, crashing through a mountain and dragging the ground up with him. "at least you tried."
"Krillin!" Trunks flew over to Krillin with a senzu bean.
"Bravo, breaking the bald one's neck. Hope you are not too proud of yourself." Vegeta said mockingly to Cell whom was stretching his new body.
"Oh prince, I am proud, not of me, but of you. It takes a big man, not necessarily a tall one, to do what you did. Sticking to your guns and throwing everyone's lives away. For that I tip my… Huh… what is that in my head? Would you call it a crown? Itachi would you call it a crown?" Cell looked over to Itachi whom hadn't moved an inch.
"Hn." Itachi knew Cell was stronger than him, and that he couldn't act recklessly, unlike Vegeta, whom was either ignoring the power level difference between him and Cell, or just so proud of himself that he didn't see it.
"We'll call it a crown."
Meanwhile, Krillin inhaled his breath as he had been healed from the senzu. "Oh good, it worked. You know it is too bad you don't have Saiyan biology, you would be unstoppable by now if you did." Trunks said.
"I know right! Also, Vegeta's going to die." Krillin stated.
"What? How do you-"
"Trunks, do you have any idea how many times I've been hit by someone stronger than me since I became an adult?" Krillin asked as he picked himself back up.
"How would I know that?"
"Every time! Barring your mother and Chi-Chi, literally. Every. Time!"
"And?"
"And I know when someone is holding back, Trunks." Krillin said and cast a glance over to the time traveling Super Saiyan.
"Okay, I can explain."
"I don't think you can."
And back to the two Saiyans facing off Cell. "All right, "Perfect" Cell…" Vegeta grinned confidently.
"Mmh, love the ring to that." Cell hummed happily.
"I'm going to enjoy wearing down the knuckles on these gloves."
"Okay, I know that wasn't supposed to sound sexual, but-"
"Now if you don't mind, it's time to turn your little coming out party into a funeral."
"Aaand times up." Cell stopped Vegeta from speaking further. "Prince, while there's absolutely nothing I'd rather do than stand here and listen to you bluster at me 'til the heat death of the universe… I literally have a million better things to do. So, here's the deal, I want you to hit me as hard as you can."
"Oh is that right-"
"Now hold on, you might have misheard me. Not half as hard, not some arbitrary percentage… I want you. To hit me. As hard. As you can!" Cell declared as he was about to shatter Vegeta's pride.
"And if I don't play along?" Vegeta raised a brow.
"Well then, I guess your father was right about you." Cell said and Vegeta instantly delivered a kick to Cell's head. "Consider that nerve touched!"
Vegeta then jumped back in surprise. "What? How?!"
"Because, Prince… Like a soon-to-be-broken man once said: You're either perfect, or you're not me." Cell then delivered a kick to Vegeta sending him flying through mountain after mountain and right into the ocean.
"Thought, you might help him here. Guess I was wrong about you." Cell said and looked over at Itachi whom just stood there and watched as Cell started beating Vegeta.
"I will wait, besides working together with him is impossible." Itachi said to which Cell let out an amused chuckle.
"Well, can't argue with you there." Cell then flew over to Vegeta whom got up from the ocean. "See, Prince, that's what you get for not listening. But, since I know you have trouble following directions, I'm gonna give you one last chance. You. Me. Hard as you can. Are we clear?"
"Crystal!" Vegeta growled and flew up, stretched his arms out as he flared up in a violent golden aura, while screaming. The ground began shaking, the water beneath Vegeta started to part ways around him, and the clouds moved towards him.
"He better not try and blow up the planet…" Itachi said with a stoic expression as Vegeta charged up his attack.
Bolts of lightning energy flared around his hands that were brought together and directed at Cell. "Hoho, that's much better! I can actually feel that."
"In mere moments, all you'll be feeling… IS OBLIVION!" Vegeta declared.
"That, or disappointment. Go ahead… flip that coin." Cell challenged.
"Father! Your pride isn't worth destroying the planet! Come on!" Trunks called out.
"FINAL FLAAAASH!"
Vegeta blasted a massive yellow ki wave towards Cell. "Aw, how cute, he named it—Oh shit!" The wave then crashed into Cell and kept stretching out to the cold depths of space as Vegeta missed the planet.
Vegeta then panted as there was a lot of smoke gathered in front of him. "Hard enough for you?" Vegeta questioned as the smoke cleared revealing Cell with his right arm blown off. Vegeta then started laughing maliciously.
"You… you think this is funny?" Cell uttered as Vegeta continued laughing. "You think this is funny?!" And Vegeta continued laughing. "It's not… as funny… as your face." Cell smirked and re grew his arm thanks to Piccolo's cells. "You know, it might sound weird, but I kinda liked the old arm better. Oh well. I'll just have to break it in!" Cell said to the shocked Vegeta whom then shot a barrage fire of ki blasts.
"WHY WON'T YOU DIE?!"
"Prince, has that ever worked?" Cell walked out from the blast and slammed Vegeta to the side. "Don't need to answer that. Some advice Prince for next time. Why don't you learn your place like the others? And wait for Goku?" Cell threw Vegeta into the air and slammed his knee in his back breaking his spine as the Prince let out a cry of pain, and Cell slammed him into the ground and Vegeta's hair went back into his shade of black as he was knocked out. "K.O I win. Perfect." Cell directed his palm at Vegeta although was blasted by a black wave of fire into his back.
"Although I don't like him, what makes you think I'm going to let you kill him?" Itachi said as the black flames spread around Cell's body whom grunted in pain.
"Wh-What is this?!" Cell widened his eyes and tried to put out the fire by powering up.
"This are the flames of Amaterasu. They can't be extinguished until I say so. They will keep on burning until the target's ashes have been burnt away. You won't be able to regenerate your way out of this one. And even if you kill me they will keep on burning for seven days. This is where you die, monster." Itachi declared coldly to the shocked Cell whom growled in pain.
"Haha! Everything seems to be working out after all!" Krillin declared with a smile of joy.
"Yes! Finally!" Trunks cheered.
'Die? No I can't die here! I just became perfect!' Cell thought as he glared daggers at Itachi as the flames increased on his back. Cell then widened his eyes and then smirked. He then shot a wave of energy at Itachi, well the ground, gathering up a lot of dust in front of him. Itachi cleared it away by powering up as Cell kept on burning into nothingness.
"Game over." Itachi declared and began walking away, although he then sensed Cell's energy.
"Now that was a close one. Lucky me that even if a tiny part of my cells survives, I can regenerate." Cell said having regenerated completely as he smiled at Itachi.
"What did you do?" Itachi narrowed his gaze at Cell whom chuckled maliciously.
"Simple, for the second I blinded you, I ripped of my own right middle finger. And waited for my body to burn away while slowly regenerating from that finger. Which also is a big fuck you to you by the way. Get it? Because it was my middle finger." Cell smirked although Itachi focused on the black flames as they moved towards Cell whom flew at tremendous speed to avoid them. "So, you can even make the flames move at your command! You seriously are dangerous! Oh, how I wished I could have gotten your cells!"
"You talk too much." Itachi commented as the black flames closed in on Cell, whom shot a ki wave at the flames, although they simply burnt through the wave.
"Oh shit." Cell uttered and increased his speed, as it became difficult for Itachi to follow him with his eyes. "Oh, I see, they move to the places you look at. Now this can be fun." Cell vanished at super speed and appeared in front of Trunks and Krillin. Itachi widened his eyes and focused on the flames to make them vanish. "Surprisingly predictable." Cell vanished at super speed and appeared in front of Itachi and slammed his fist into his face sending Itachi flying back.
Itachi stopped himself in midair, as Cell appeared in front of him with his fist raised. Itachi activated the Susano'o aura around him and Cell's punch was blocked much to the Androids confusion. "My, you are just full of tricks. Mmh, such a perfect challenge for my perfection." Cell smirked like a Saiyan at the thought of a good challenge.
"Cell, unlike Vegeta, I can sense the difference in your power and mine. And although you might be slightly stronger than me. I still have ways to beat you and end you for good." Itachi declared as he powered up and formed a spiritual shield and a spiritual sword out of the red Susano'o energy into his arms.
"Ohoho! Yes! Yes! That is what I like to hear!" Cell smirked and let out a chuckle when suddenly they both felt an energy increasing, they looked over to the time traveling Saiyan that was powering up and getting bulkier. "Oh, a new challenger. I've already had Vegeta as an appetizer, perhaps I should make Trunks my dinner and save you for dessert." Cell chuckled as he looked at Itachi from the corner of his eye. "Or perhaps I should take both of you as my main course!"
Trunks then kept screaming and powering up and hair got even spikier and his aura flared up even more. "Krillin take this, and give it to my father." Trunks threw Krillin a Senzy Bean.
"Y-You… sure you won't need it?" Krillin questioned.
"No, this battle was over before it even began." Trunks replied and flew down to face Cell.
"Bad ass…" Krillin uttered.
"And accurate!" Cell shouted.
"Itachi, you can just back away. I will kill Cell." Trunks declared.
"You know, you are becoming more and more like your father right now. So, I'm going to say this one thing to you Trunks. No." Itachi said to which Trunks looked confused. "I will not back away, I will help you." Itachi declared and Trunks raised his brow.
"In case you haven't sensed it, my power is higher than his." Trunks pointed out and looked over at Cell.
"Oh please." Itachi powered up and got even more bulkier and had an even more intense aura, and a power level way higher than Cell's. Itachi then reverted back into his previous normal Super Saiyan state.
"Wait, what? You can do it to?!" Trunks questioned out of shock as to why Itachi didn't simply do it before.
"It's just powering up, nothing special. Even your father could do that, his just not that stupid." Itachi declared as he stood next to a confused Trunks.
"Aw, and here I was hoping to humiliate the boy… you spoiled my fun!" Cell growled at Itachi.
"Krillin, take Vegeta away from here and heal him." Itachi ordered to which Krillin complied.
"Trunks, go back to your normal Super Saiyan form. Or else you won't even be able to land a hit on Cell." Itachi instructed and Trunks just looked confused.
"You don't know what your talking about, here I will show you!" Trunks charged at Cell with his fist raised.
"And his Vegeta is showing again…" Itachi sighed and decided to sit back for a bit so that Trunks could learn his lesson. Trunks threw a punch although Cell dodged and jumped back.
"I'm going to make you pay in blood for what you did to him." Trunks declared.
"Oh don't lie, boy scout, that must have been catharsis by proxy. He's gonna be waking up for the next five years in a cold sweat remembering today!" Cell said with a dark malicious chuckle.
"I'm not a psychopath like-"
"Kind of like you!" Cell interrupted Trunks.
"Like me?" Trunks questioned in confusion.
"Does Gohan know, by the way?" Cell questioned with a smirk on his perfect face.
"Does he know what?" Trunks questioned.
"That you let him die." Cell said as the waves hit the rocks around the island.
"I'm going to power up now." Trunks growled a little.
"I'd be disappointed if you didn't!" Cell winked and Trunks powered up even more and got even bulkier. "That's right keep it coming boy! I want to have a challenge this time!"
"Don't you worry! I'll show you just how much stronger I am than my father!" Trunks declared.
"Your father? Oh, no, I'm sorry, I wasn't being specific. I'm referring to the last time we met. Of course you wouldn't remember, because you weren't there. I mean, you were, buuuuttt…" Cell said which further infuriated Trunks.
"Get to the point!"
"Alright kiddo, tell me. What do you know about time travel?" Cell asked with a condescending smirk.
"Less than I should…" Trunks replied remembering the whole number of android mess.
"Well, how do you suppose I got here?" Cell questioned.
"Well, my Time Machine, obviously."
"Ya-huh, and how do you think I got said Time Machine?" Cell nodded.
"… I don't wanna answer that…" Trunks uttered, although he had a pretty good idea of what it was.
"Here's the thing-" Cell was about to speak.
"In a different multiverse, he killed you and took your Time Machine to this timeline. That about right?" Itachi smirked at Cell whom frowned a bit.
"Yes. Although, fact is, you, or at least, another you. Traveled to the past, saved the world, came back to the future, and finally defeated the Androids. Congratulations, son. You won! So you decided to celebrate! Head back to the past, get your hair ruffled, and finally get that thumbs up from daddy dearest! But you made one. Fatal. Mistake. You took away what was mine! Unfortunately I couldn't fit into your Time Machine, so I had to revert to my larval stage, made the trip to a year before you showed up, burrowed the underground for four years, and well… the rest is history." Cell finished telling his story with a chuckle.
"Then… you're here…" Trunks widened his eyes.
"Because of you! But please don't beat yourself up. You're just a child, playing hero… complete with spandex." Cell chuckled.
"And you are just another mistake that I have to correct." Trunk continued powering up which made Itachi sigh and Cell chuckle. Trunks shoulder charged into Cell sending him crashing into a mountain. Cell then vanished and reappeared behind Trunks and kicked him in the back, Trunks then stopped himself and flew behind Cell and kicked him.
"I'm impressed! Behind all that angst and ridiculous hair, there's a real fighter!" Cell chuckled with overconfidence.
"And behind all that insufferable smarm is a dead man!" Trunks let out a golden glow.
"Yep, just like daddy Vegeta…" Itachi sighed at Trunks' behavior.
"Trunks… you couldn't fathom the amount of dead men behind me!" Cell released a golden glow and then grabbed Trunks' fist, and they both powered up, Cell then headbutted Trunks, whom quickly recovered and flew up to Cell and headbutted him back. Trunks then delivered a barrage set of punched and blasted a ki blast into Cell sending him crashing to the ground.
"Now that might not have done a whole lot of damage. But damn did that feel good!" Trunks' pride started to grow.
"Oh-ho-ho? Am I sensing an iota of pride? Guess the apple doesn't fall far if ya shake the tree hard enough!" Cell smirked still with confidence, and Trunks couldn't even begin to understand why.
"That snark isn't going to save you while I'm tearing you apart. If you haven't noticed, I've literally got you against the wall." Trunks said as Cell was standing up against the mountain stone wall.
"And don't think I don't appreciate the effort. By a wide margin, you're packing more of a wallop than daddy ever did! However… you will never… ever… defeat me with that form." Cell said much to Trunks confusion.
"You still haven't realized? Although that form grants you a massive increase in strength. It also decreases your speed and mobility even more. You'd never be able to hit your opponent, the only reason you have even landed a punch on him, is because he has been toying with you." Itachi said which caused Trunks to widen his eyes and growl.
"That and pity." Cell added more fuel to the fire as Trunks powered up even more. Trunks then threw a barrage of heavy punches although Cell dodged all of them with ease.
"Why?!" Trunks growled in frustration.
"Because your green." Cell said much to Trunks confusion.
"Wait you mean-"
"No, not like me you idiot, as in, you're a novice, an amateur! You're surrounded by fighters who have seen more action in a week than you've seen in your entire life. Hell, at your age, Goku had defeated an entire army, several demons, and sent a rabbit to the moon!" Cell said.
"Did… did you make that last one u-?" Trunks questioned which even Itachi would like an answer to.
"And like Itachi showed you earlier, that form isn't even new. Watch." Cell then got even more bulkier and his power increase. "Hey, I'm Trunks, please love me dad!" Cell said in a horrible Trunks like voice as he returned to his normal state.
"That's a terrible impression." Trunks uttered.
"And like Itachi said earlier, your father can even do it. He is just not stupid enough to try! And as we've seen today, that threshold is vast… Now, how about you come on down, stop using that useless form… and quit wasting everyone's time?" Cell said and was then blasted in the face by a ki wave from Itachi.
"I guess you have learned your lesson, Trunks. Go into your normal Super Saiyan form, and let's fight him." Itachi ordered and Trunks however went into his base form and flew down with a look of shame. "Oh, get over it boy! You made a mistake, congratulations, you failed! And you learned something!" Itachi scolded the time traveler.
"B-But…"
"By the time I was your age, I had already killed millions, destroyed and conquered planets! All while working under a tyrant whom had destroyed my home, ordered the execution of my very own parents, killed my mentor before my very eyes! I sucked it up, served him, until the time was right, and rebelled to kill him and avenge my people, and everyone me and my people killed in his name! And your father had it no different than me, we both had to serve the man that blew up our home. And here you are, losing your fighting spirit over simply having been stupid. Your father has been stupid many times, and yet his spirit still remains! He has had his pride shattered and yet he still kept on training and grew stronger! We have all failed at one point or another, and our failures helps us grow. Failure is the greatest teacher in life. So, get up, suck it up, and go Super Saiyan!" Itachi ordered once again.
Trunks widened his eyes and then screamed as he went Super Saiyan. "Thanks, I needed that." Trunks said as he walked over to Itachi and got ready to fight Cell.
"My, my, you keep interesting me Itachi. You are not like Vegeta nor Goku, you are actually smart, and strong enough to entertain me. Now then, let's get this show on the road." Cell let out a powerful golden glow while chuckling maliciously.
"Let's go." Itachi readied the spiritual shield and sword, while Cell gathered his hands into a cup and gathered up a blue sphere.
"Umm, Itachi…" Trunks uttered.
"…"
Ka-me
"Itachi, what should we do?" Trunks questioned as he began sweating.
"…"
Ha-me
"Itachi! Seriously!" Trunks shouted.
"Stay calm and trust me Trunks." Itachi said calmly which caused Trunks to calm down a bit.
"This is starting to look disappointing, oh well, I'm curious how you are going to dodge!" Cell shouted and threw his hands forward.
HA!
Cell blasted a massive blue wave of energy towards Itachi and Trunks, whom looked more frightened. Itachi widened his eyes as the spiritual shield increased in size to the point it was big enough to take the wave head on. Trunks widened his eyes same with Cell, and both looked confused as to why the shield didn't break or even budge upon contact with the Kamehameha wave. Itachi smirked and simply pushed the shield forward a bit, as the blast was reflected right back into Cell. "Oh shit!" Cell shouted as he blasted by his own attack which created a powerful explosion.
"Wow, what happened jus now?" Trunks questioned while shaking a little as he looked at the dark smoke cloud.
"Dust him!" Itachi shouted and sent a ki blast right into the smoke, and Trunks followed his lead and did the same. Together they created a barrage set of explosions, but then someone jumped out from the smoke and it was Cell. Although Cell the right side of Cell's torso, as well as his legs and his so-called crown was blown to bits.
Cell growled and quickly regenerated and slapped the energy blasts from Trunks and Itachi to the side. "Okay, what the fuck was that?! How the hell did you even do that?!" Cell questioned in rage.
"It's called the Yata Mirror, it's a spirit shield that is said to reflect any attack thrown at the wielder, and to top it off, it's an unbreakable shield. It's the ultimate defense." Itachi replied with a smirk.
"We'll see about that!" Cell flew at Itachi and threw a full powered punch into the shield.
"Cell, it doesn't only reflect energy-based attacks, also physical." Itachi said with a smirk, as the shield let out a glow.
"Oh shit." Cell uttered as he felt the force of his own punch thrown back at him, sending him flying back. "Hax! I call hax!"
"Eh, nobody cares." Itachi smirked and blasted Cell with a fire energy wave, and Trunks threw a massive ki sphere, Cell flew out from the burning smoke with a few bruises.
'Okay Cell, calm down, losing your cool isn't going to help. Now, if that shield is that special, that sword of his must be special as well. Note to self, do not get hit by that.' Cell thought as he let out a glow. "Ah I see what you meant now, indeed you are a troublesome foe, and cunning. Not to mention your power is not that far away from mine, although it is still not at my level, you can damage me somewhat and keep up in combat. And with those troublesome attacks of yours, you actually have a chance at winning." Cell smirked with excitement. "Although I would still prefer Goku, nothing personal by the way, it's just been a dream of mine to fight him. Although I gotta say, you are now number two on my wanting to fight and kill list, so have some pride in that."
"So, how are you planning on beating him?" Trunks asked with a raised brow and looked at the sword in Itachi's hand. "Are you going to use that sword?"
"Okay, lesson 1 kid, talk lower about strategy with your teammate in battle. Or else your opponent will hear you." Itachi said and Trunks looked a little embarrassed. "Lesson 2, don't state the obvious. And lesson 3, go take a beating and distract him." Itachi looked at Trunks with a dead serious expression, causing the time traveler to sweat drop.
"Argh, crap baskets…" Trunks uttered and charged at Cell with his fist raised.
"Blast him!" Itachi shouted and Trunks swung his fist forwards sending a ki blast right into Cell's face. Itachi then flew up at Cell with the Totsuka Blade raised. Cell kept focus on Itachi and dodged the sword by mere inches, Itachi instantly redirected the sword and swung it towards Cell, whom again barely managed to dodge. "Attack!" Itachi shouted.
Trunks flew at Cell throwing a barrage of punches, all which Cell dodged, while Itachi swung the sword at Cell whom began to sweat nervously. 'He is training the boy during combat. He is not only a skilled fighter, but a skilled teacher as well. I need to get rid of the dead weight.' Cell thought and had energy burst around him, sending the two Saiyan's back a bit. He then sent a ki wave blasting towards Trunks, whom didn't have time to react. But then Itachi sliced the wave in two with the Totsuka blade, saving Trunks. 'I need to find out what that sword does…' Cell then expanded his tail hole and looked like he was in pain.
"Wh-What is he doing?" Trunks questioned looking a little disgusted.
"I don't know…" Itachi also got distracted and looked disgusted as two smaller, blue versions of Cell popped out from Cell's tail.
"Say hello, to my children." Cell smirked as his so-called children chuckled maliciously. "Now children, go and get 'em." Cell ordered as his children flew towards Itachi and Trunks, however, they both suddenly attacked only Itachi.
"Itachi!" Trunks shouted but was shoulder charged by Cell.
Itachi used the Yata Mirror to block a Kamehameha wave from one of the Cell spawns and sent the wave back at him. He dodged a punch from the other spawn and kneed him in the gut making him vomit out blood. The first spawn of Cell then attacked from behind and Itachi reacted purely on instinct and stabbed the Totsuka Blade through the Cell spawn, and Cell whom was holding Trunks by the throat, paid close attention.
The Cell spawn widened its eyes as the end of the sword became a hand and grabbed him, and pulled him into the gorge that worked as the sword handle. "Damn he saw what the sword did…" Itachi growled as he had lost the element of surprise, oh if only he could unseal the spawn so that Cell wouldn't think it was too dangerous and let his guard down.
"Oh… wow…" Cell uttered with wide eyes as he didn't see any signs of his child returning from the gorge as only the blade popped back out. Itachi then blasted the other Cell spawn with a wave of black flames. The spawn screamed in pain as the flames increased to the point where it was covering its entire body. "Magnificent… truly magnificent…" Cell smirked while chuckling. "So, that is what your sword does. It seals away people huh? I assume they can't break free either. You just increased on the danger scale there." Cell let go of Trunks whom tried to catch his breath.
Cell then directed his palm at Trunks and charged up an energy blast. "Don't!" Itachi shouted knowing the Dragon Balls were gone.
"Oh, and how are you going to stop me?" Cell smirked viciously.
"Go ahead and kill me…" Trunks uttered while growling.
"Wow, way to bring down the mood kiddo." Cell said which angered Trunks further.
"Is this just a big game to you?!" Trunks growled.
"A game? Hardly. If it was a game I would be having fun, and killing Goku… Huh, now that actually does sound like fun." Cell hummed at the idea.
"You know what, fine, fight Goku. But when he beats you… and when you are dead… no one is going to remember you." Trunks said which intrigued Cell even further.
"Huh. Alright, change of plans. Turn that frown upside down you two. Neither of you are going to die today." Cell declared much to the Saiyan's confusion.
"What in the…?! Why?!" Trunks questioned.
"Careful junior, don't want that gift horse to bite you! You've just given me an idea is all. What would I accomplish killing you two here? No… The whole world needs to see what it's created." Cell started to walk away.
"Oh, what the hell are you planning now?!" Trunks clenched his fists in frustration.
"My revolution… Go take care of your daddy. You go and get a little stronger maybe. And make sure to check the news!" Cell said looking at both Itachi and Trunks as he flew off.
"…" Itachi knew that this might be the best option for now, considering if he grew stronger until later he could manage to defeat Cell, the question was how much time did he have?
That's it for now!
Sorry for the long wait, was a little hard to get in touch with my co-writer to work on this chapter. Now in the next chapter the legendary Cell Games will be announced and the preparations for it will begin.
Also, to those who complained about 16 getting absorbed by Cell, because 16 lacked cells in canon. When Cell absorbs 17 and 18 in canon he absorbs their mechanical parts as well and that is what makes him stronger in the first place. So, he should be able to do the same thing with 16.
Responds to reviews:
Ak-Jaidyn: Thanks!
petem903: Thanks, and don't worry I will never abandon this story. Just that updates might be difficult considering I need my co-writers help, plus my now college thing going on. But yeah, I will see what I can do.
Dzerx: That would be cool, might have to discuss it with my co-writer though.
MorpheusYulia: Thanks! And we'll see what we can do!
Mr. Haziq: Goddamn right we need to!
Harambe: He was one of mine as well.
seant5054: Who knows, maybe he will have something different. And I will think about a Drifters crossover for Itachi and consider the other one as well.
kideex: Thanks!
Greer123: Thanks!
xXFARTSALOTXx: Thanks, and sorry for the long wait.
Guest: Not necessarily, he could still regenerate from a tiny cell as we saw here, well his finger at least. But yeah, he should still be able to do that. And that was a mistake on my part with the power level, it was supposed to be for Gohan when he is enraged. And we are planning for something between the two them after the Cell saga.
YeTianshi: Like I said at the authors note in the end, Cell when he absorbed 17 and 18 absorbed their mechanical parts as well, which is what made Cell stronger in the first place.
Insane insanity incarnate: Thanks!
Senritran19: I will think about it, also sorry for the long wait.
Kirrit: Thanks!
NightRogue00: Here you go sorry for the long wait. And maybe, or maybe he will find his own form, we'll see.
Monster King: Here you go, and thanks, sorry for the long wait.
Guest: Here and again, sorry for the long wait.
-Later!
