It had been nearly an hour in his chamber as Dabura sat and meditated, concentrating so that he could draw upon the vast power that lay within him.
Once upon a time he was creature of infinite power and beauty, so vast that his very essence could be seen from every corner of the galaxy.
Yet he was haughty and he sought to overthrow the one who had brought his being into existence. He was made to pay for his insolence and was cast down from his place amongst the great celestial beings in which forever remains to be beyond the reckoning of mortals.
Now cast from whence he came, he decided to create a kingdom of his own. He created another universe, another dimension, in which he could be the creator. All those within that universe would fear and worship him like the god he was.
Unfortunately, the creation of his kingdom drained his very essence and by the time he was done, his power was so diminished that he could not even keep a fair form. Instead, his form took that of his very nature, cruel, arrogant and hideous.
Even with his power diminished, he still was able to create life and populate the new universe he created with creatures born of his very essence. Doing this diminished his power even further and already the betrayer was beginning to feel very...mortal.
This new universe was a mockery of the one which he came from. It was volatile, unstable and full of chaos. The new creatures born on this sad excuse of a universe were in for a lifetime of pain and suffering. There was no such thing as joy in this dimension.
Despite now being nearly mortal, Dabura STILL managed to rule his newly created kingdom with an iron fist. Though now a germ compared to his former might, he was still so powerful that none would dare oppose him and Dabura relished in the new power he now held over the life he created.
So ruled Dabura in his kingdom of the demon universe for time uncounted. Still, despite achieving his goals, Dabura was under much strain. His power continued to diminish further as he it took everything he had just to keep his own universe and kingdom from imploding on itself.
After another few thousand millenia, Dabura was so weak that he was beginning to lose control of the universe he created. Stars within started to explode, galaxies started to fizzle and the space itself was beginning to collapse within itself. It would not be long before this universe, this kingdom made of his very essence, would collapse within itself in a "Big Crunch" and threaten to end his life along with the pathetic lifeforms that populated this space.
Dabura began to despair and soon, he longed to go back to the universe from which he was created from. If he was to die like a pathetic mortal, at the very least he wanted to die in the same universe that eternal creator resided in and take comfort in the fact that perhaps, one day, in the end of time, that the eternal one would forgive him and that he could take his rightful place in Paradise once more.
Unfortunately, Dabura was so weak at this point that he could not even escape the very universe he created. He was trapped in a dimension of his own design, trapped in a Hell of his very own making, a Hell that soon threatened to collapse onto itself. How ironic that he would die from a power that was once his very own.
Dabura could only watch as all life in his universe died and soon, only he lived, alone. He despaired further and cursed his foolishness and folly. What was worse was that he was truly alone. Here, he was the almighty, the eternal one and he did not like it one bit. He would relinquish his power here and now, if only to be within the all mighty comfort, power and mercy of his creator, of HIS almighty one.
Then, as if in a miracle, Dabura was visited by a being that was not of his own creation.
The creature was squat and ugly and possessed a shrill voice that made the ears bled. But to Dabura, this creature was the most beautiful being he had laid his eyes on for time uncounted. For despite this creature's ugliness, this creature was a creation of the almighty one, a child of the great creator whom Dabura longed to see once more after eons of solitude.
"My, oh my! You seem to possess such a great power! You will be perfect in my quest to resurrect Majin Buu!" said Babadi in glee.
"How did you manage to come into my domain? Speak!" roared Dabura in a furious voice, doing his best to appear mighty though he was so weak and pathetic now.
"Not much for introductions, are we? Well, no matter. My name is Babadi and I'm a wizard from another dimension. As you can see, I am drawn to those with great power. Recently, I lost my best warrior in combat and now there is a vacancy within my ranks. You fill those qualifications perfectly! Join me and together we will rule the universe!" squawked Babadi.
Foolish. As if mortal such as yourself can hope to claim the kingdom of the almighty one.
"Then I meet your qualifications? You flatter me but you have to realize that I already reign almighty HERE, within my own universe. Why would I leave my kingdom to assist you in conquest?" asked Dabura in slight suspicion.
Babadi just snorted when he heard this.
"Even I can tell that there is nothing left in this sad dimension you call a kingdom. This dimension is unstable and will soon come to a bitter end. In MY dimension, however, the universe is still in its infancy and there is life uncounted that is need of conquering. You know this so why do you insist in denying me?" asked Babadi.
Dabura snarled as he heard this, obviously insulted by Babadi's comment. Still, he knew that the wizard was right. It would be another short thousand or so years before this universe would collapse within itself.
"Even if I did join you, there is no way that I can leave. I have lost too much power to escape now." said Dabura rather sadly.
"Then join me. I can open dimensional rifts with little effort. I can help you escape but you must promise your servitude to me. Now!" commanded Babadi.
Dabura was conflicted. He knew that wizard could give him salvation, a way out of this Hell that he put himself in. But that would mean bending his knee to this pitiful mortal. The very thought that HE, once more brilliant and powerful than the mightiest quasar, now enslaving himself to this bug like mortal made him sick.
In the back of Dabura's mind, he was sure that the almighty one was testing him. His creator was giving him salvation, but at the cost of his pride and dignity. He could either humble himself and be saved or remain prideful and be damned. The choice was his.
Dabura found himself kneeling on the ground, his knee bent as he lowered his head. The words came out his mouth before he knew he was speaking them.
"I am yours to command Master Babadi. My strength is your strength and together we will achieve our objectives." said Dabura.
Babadi could not help but cackle in absolute delight. He had taken a huge step in reviving Majin Buu.
"I am glad that we were able to see eye to eye Dabura." said Babadi in glee.
"Then what now, my liege?" asked Dabura.
"We get out of here. Pa-para-pa-pa!" roared Babadi as he rose his small, little arms,
To Dabura's awe and absolute joy, there lay a portal to the universe of his birth.
"Come, we must not waste any time!" said Babadi as he stepped through the portal.
Dabura soon began to walk through the portal, but before passing through, Dabura turned around to see the universe of his creation for one last time. With nothing but a hateful snort as farewell, Dabura soon passed through the portal.
The former Demon King snapped his eyes open.
It was complete. The ritual was finished.
Dabura stepped out of his chamber and frowned slightly.
He was weaker at full power than he had been nearly a hundred years before. It was not a huge change but it was there. Dabura knew that he would still continue to diminish, but it was not until this moment that he had realized the extent. Even with the dark aura surrounding his being, cackling with sparks of electricity, he still felt so weak and powerless.
"How wonderful Dabura! With that power of yours, you should have no problem killing those meddlesome earthlings. Though I doubt they know of Majin Buu, I will not tolerate them living longer than necessary. Kill them all then report back to me at once." commanded Babadi.
Dabura knelt down.
"As you wish, Master Babadi."
Master Roshi could not believe that they were gone already.
The two, crudely made tombstones lay there as both Mr. Popo and Korin faced death in their battle.
Never had the old master felt so lost and alone.
While Korin was perhaps right in saying that they didn't need his strength, Roshi could not deny that he felt comfort being the presence of his former master. It always seemed that Korin had the answers they were looking for and now, he was dead.
The others were nearby, waiting for him to finish.
Soon, Master Roshi turned to the others.
"I'm sorry for making you all wait on an old man." said Master Roshi in a solemn voice.
"Well, what do you have in mind old man?" asked Tao.
Roshi looked over to the others and realized that he needed to take charge now. There was no going back now. They had some battles to win.
"From what I feel, two gigantic powers are currently struggling with each other at the moment." said Master Roshi as he stared out at the distance.
"Do we go after them?" asked Chi-Chi.
"Are you crazy? Don't you feel their power? They'll tear us apart!" yelled Yajirobe.
"Well, we can't just simply stand here doing nothing!" shouted Chi-Chi back.
Roshi rose a hand as he spoke to get the two from arguing any further.
"Actually, I agree with Yajirobe here. There is no reason for us to go over that way. From what I can see, there are several powers at large here and they are not all in accord with each other. One of those powers is Cell and the one he is fighting is the one called Bojack I presume. There are probably more that I can't feel at the moment that are out there for now. If they are all at odds with each other, then it is best that we bide our time and wait until they all kill each other. Any left standing, we'll go and take them out." said Roshi as he drew from his fighting experience.
"That's rather devious of you old man. I did not think that you would resort to such an underhanded tactic. Then again, it does make sense. As it is, all of these powers are each considerably stronger than us. And as much as I hate to admit it, only two of the four of us here can enter into that Serene State of Mind that would even the playing field. I agree. I say we go over to the Lookout and wait and see what happens." said Tao with a grudging acceptance.
"Are you sure that they'll all fight each other? How do we know that they won't simply destroy join up and decide to come after us?" asked Chi-Chi in a worried voice.
"I have lived a very long time Chi-Chi and I can tell you that power hungry fools hate to share in the conquest. They would kill their own mother before sharing any sort of power with another of their own kind. I assure you, there will only be one in the end and that is when the tides will turn in our favor. There is no need to get involved, at least, not for the moment." said Roshi.
"Wow. I guess you guys aren't as suicidal as I thought you were. That's a good plan. Let's wait." agreed Yajirobe hasitly. Chi-Chi growled at him.
"You're just too afraid to fight again!"
"Well, who saved all your lives?" countered Yajirobe.
"I told you that I would have taken that creature out on my own had you not interfered!" screeched Chi-Chi.
"Yeah, right!" said Yajirobe as he stuck his tongue out.
Roshi and Tao just face palmed as Chi-Chi started to run after Yajirobe.
The samurai decided to not take any chances and started to run away.
"GET BACK HERE YOU-"
Chi-Chi never finished as she suddenly fell silent.
Tao felt something strange happening and that his end was near if he decided to stay in the same spot. He jumped out of the way as fast as he could. Roshi too could feel an impending sense of doom and his body screamed at him to jump away, so he did.
Yajirobe happened to look over at Roshi and Tao, who had jumped away for some reason.
"Hey, guys, what are you-"
Yajirobe never finished as he suddenly fell silent.
Tao and Roshi landed next to each in the same spot and both turned to see something very odd. Both Yajirobe and Chi-Chi seemed to have been turned into stone statues.
"Old man, do you know what kind of devilry is behind this?" asked Tao in a flustered voice.
"Your guess is as good as mine, Crane." responded Roshi.
Then, a haughty and evil laugh filled the air as if to answer the two humans' question. Both Tao and Roshi looked up to see a rather large looking creature descend into the ground. He was tall, at least 6'5 and his skin was crimson. His ears were pointed as sharp as his horns and his sariuan eyes seemed to pierce into your very soul.
"Well done mortals. I was afraid that this mission of mine would have been too easy had you all fallen prey to my little technique." said Dabura with a malicious grin.
"Who are you? Are you in league with Bojack?" demanded Roshi.
Dabura snarled at the mention of Bojack's name.
"Unfortunately I am. That imbecile, though, has outlived his usefulness. He will die against that creature he is fighting and if not, then I will kill him myself. But first, I must attend to you two. My master has seen it fit that your lives end today. Be grateful that my master has decided to grant you this mercy. I would hate to be in your positions once Majin Buu is resurrected." gloated Dabura.
Roshi furrowed his brows when he heard this.
Majin Buu? What in the world is Majin Buu?
"What is this 'Majin Buu' that you speak of, devil?" sneered Tao.
"Why, Majin Buu is my master's most ultimate creation. A being of power to great to even be described. Your lives would be his very plaything if her living right now. He would draw your deaths out until you could no longer scream. Be grateful that I have come to kill you swiftly." said Dabura once more.
Roshi couldn't believe it. It seemed that everything was going against them. Now there was another great power that they had to contend with.
Still, he would not get distracted.
"Why doesn't this 'Majin Buu' come out and fight himself if he is so mighty?" asked Roshi defiantly.
Dabura laughed once more before answering.
"Foolish mortal! If Majin Buu were alive, I would not be here to kill you myself. Unfortunately, Majin Buu is in stasis and only a very large energy source can resurrect him. Don't worry, the battle between Bojack and Cell is doing a very good job in giving Majin Buu the radiant energy needed to revive himself." said Dabura.
Master Roshi breathed a slight breath of relief. It seemed that this "Majin Buu" was still out of action for now. If he and Tao could subdue this demon, perhaps it would give them the location of this Majin Buu creature and perhaps kill it before it awakens.
Roshi looked down at his two comrades and shook his head.
He had no time to grieve for them at the moment. The time would come when he would. That said, Roshi hardened his gaze on the devil before them and spoke.
"Then I guess we must take you out then." said Roshi in a firm voice.
Dabura just smiled as he saw Tao and Roshi get into their stances.
"As if you can touch one such as I." said Dabura as he flew towards the two humans.
Roshi and Tao put up a guard but were dismayed to find that Dabura had formed an after image and had flown right past them.
"Over here." said Dabura as he placed a hand on Roshi and Tao's back and shot them with a burst of ki energy.
Roshi and Tao grimaced in pain from the blast but thankfully, there was not much power put into it and they shrugged it off as they flew towards Dabura.
At once, Tao aimed a straight cross at Dabura's throat while Roshi attempted a shin kick at the creature's stomach. Dabura simply smiled as he caught Tao's hand and used his knee to block Roshi's kick attempt.
Dabura then roared as he then threw Tao into Roshi, knocking them away. Dabura then conjured a spear and proceeded to throw it at them, hoping to skewer them both and end this fight.
Thankfully, Roshi and Tao saw the spear coming and promptly dodged it respectively but Dabura already had a contingency for this as he phazed behind Roshi, this time with a sword, and attempted to swing down.
Roshi felt his life in mortal peril and quickly tried to use zanzuken to phaze away. Dabura snorted as he missed some vitals but Roshi did not get away easily as the tip of Dabura's blade still slashed across Roshi's exposed back, causing a huge cut that went down diagonally across Roshi's back.
The old master gritted his teeth in pain but did his best to recover as he turned swiftly. Already Dabura was bearing down on him with sword in hand.
Tao managed to phaze in out of nowhere and landed a strong kick on the demon's cheek, sending Dabura flying back and landing hard on the ground as he skidded.
The mercenary soon started to concentrate his ki onto his finger tips. He knew that the demon was going to be angry and would charge him. That was when he would get his chance.
Roshi, seeing what Tao was up to, decided to help.
"I see what you got planned. I'll get his attention then you hit him with everything you got." said Roshi.
"Then be swift about it. I feel him stirring already." said Tao.
Roshi nodded as he flew off to the side until he was just out of sight. Already his was gathering energy into his palms.
"Ka...me"
Of course, Dabura did come out and roared loudly as he flew towards Tao, sword in hand.
"Ha...me"
Tao just smiled with his hands behind his back. This seemed to infuriate the demon as he flew in even faster.
Then, a loud scream got Dabura's attention.
"HA!"
Dabura looked up to find a large, blue beam heading straight his way. He snorted in annoyance. He was caught in a trap but really, such an attack like that was not going to harm him.
Dabura held his sword out and blocked the Kamehameha with it. With a simple swing, Dabura was able to disapate the Kamehameha easily and he laughed.
"Really mortal, as if such a weak attack ca-ARGGH!"
Dabura didn't finish as he cried out in utter pain as he felt five thin beams pierce straight through his body. The demon turned to find a heavily breathing Tao with his hand outstretched. Dabura seethed in anger.
How dare they! Making me think that I fell for such a weak trap when the first trap was really just a feint? They will pay for humiliating me about that.
Tao looked on and was relieved that his attacks hit. He was sure that he had hit all the creature's vitals. There was no way that this demon would live.
Unfortunately for Tao, Dabura was not made of the same stuff as humans and he shrugged the supposed 'fatal' attacks off.
"That stung. I must commend you mortals, I did not think that you would be able to outsmart me like that. However, this has grown boring. I will end your lives now." said Dabura haughtily though he knew that he was quite injured.
Dabura flew in to slice with his sword at Tao's head, but Tao had turned around and made a round-house kick to hit the sword on its side, blocking it with his foot. Dabura growled a bit but couldn't do much as Roshi came in and landed a strong hook on the demon's cheek and then a knee on the demon's nose.
Dabura roared in pain a bit as he staggered back. Seeing him disoriented, Tao flew in to land a strong dive kick on the demon's stomach. Dabura felt himself weaking from the constant bleeding from his wounds and felt himself skid on the ground a bit.
Dabura got up and got to his feet. He dusted himself off as he saw the two old warriors stand before him some few meters that his sword was more of a liability in a match where he was outnumbered, he threw it aside. The wounds were beginning to get to him. His vision was getting hazy. He felt weak but he knew that he could not give up now.
That said, he stretched his arms out and roared.
"Don't think get cocky you two mortals. The fight has only begun!" roared Dabura as his body bulged a bit in muscle mass and a dark aura flickered around his body. His power had simply gone through the roof.
Roshi looked over at Tao.
"Looks like this guy isn't lying Crane. Even injured, he's at least as strong as that Cell and Bojack fellow fighting yonder away." said Roshi.
"Thank you for stating the obvious old man. Care to fill me in on details that I already know?" growled Mercenary Tao, knowing that their situation went from rather reasonable to completely dire.
"Unfortunately, I haven't a clue Crane." said Roshi with a solemn voice.
"Just wonderful." muttered Tao.
Dabura soon spoke.
"What's wrong you two? Afraid of what you see? I'm sorry but there is no helping it. You two must die and I'll be the one to do it." said Dabura as he soon flew in, faster than both Roshi and Tao could follow.
Tao and Roshi did not even have a chance as they both felt a spear go right through their stomachs. They could not even feel the pain as they found themselves lying on the ground, already puddled in their own blood.
"You two will meet your end now. Farewell." said Dabura as he flew up and extended a hand out. At once, he sent over his signature Hell Blitz at the two fallen warriors.
Both Roshi and Tao struggled to look up at the incoming ball of energy. Despite being in utter pain, Roshi could only smile.
He was really going to die this time and there was nothing he could do. Now that he thought about it, he felt the overwhelming burden of trying to save the world go away. He felt relief and most of all, joy. He did not regret dying and he was glad that he had at least made the effort to train and do his best to save world.
Roshi smiled slightly. He had no regrets anymore. It was time.
Then, Roshi felt the world around him seem to grow silent. His vision started to haze a bit but when it cleared, he found the giant ball of energy that was racing towards him coming seem to stop.
No, that was not it. The ball of ki was still coming toward them, but it was coming so slowly that he simply could walk away.
Did I attain the Serene State of Mind?
Roshi turned to find that Tao was already standing. He looked at his partner in the eye and found it to be dull.
"So it seems that you managed to get into a Serene State of Mind as well." said Roshi dully.
"Indeed." responded Tao dully.
"Look at our wounds. Turns out that we have stopped bleeding for the moment." said Roshi once more.
"Again, you do a great job giving me details over something I already know." said Tao in a dull voice though he would scowl if he could.
"Then let us kill this demon before we run out of power." said Roshi.
"Indeed." said Tao.
Immediately they flew up and easily dodged the slow ball of ki coming toward them. Dabura, in full power, was much stronger and perceptive than either Imperfect Cell and Android 17. He saw their approach but was surprised at the speed they were coming at.
Even so, he was still too slow. For every punch Dabura threw, Roshi and Tao had already thrown five. Every once in a while, Dabura would block an attack, but only after having taken over fifty hits.
Still, Dabura was not going down and Roshi and Tao found that despite the increased speed, perception and reaction time that they possessed, the amount of raw power they acquired from this transformation was still not enough to match Dabura and unfortunately, their blows were nowhere fatal enough to bring down the demon.
Both flew back as they conversed with themselves.
"It seems that this transformation has its limits. What are we to do?" asked Tao dully.
"I have a way to hurt him." said Roshi dully.
"What is that, then?" asked Tao.
"This." said Roshi simply as he suddenly bulked up, his arms and chest expanding hugely. The spike in Roshi's power was quite evident.
"I never knew you could do that." said Tao dully thought he would have been surprised if he could.
"I don't like using this form. While I am MUCH more powerful, my speed is compromised. However, in a Serene State of Mind, the drop in speed is no longer significant enough for me to discard this transformation now. I can fight freely in this form now and hopefully, kill that demon." said Roshi.
"Then what do you want me to do?" asked Tao dully.
"Distract the creature. It seems that he can withstand the most horrendous of damage and is not easily crippled. I'll destroy every atom of his body with my Kamehameha." said Roshi dully.
"Then so be it." said Tao as he flew toward Dabura once more.
Dabura finally recovered from his beating and found that Tao was coming at him at such a high speed he could hardly see the mercenary.
Tao, in a Serene State of Mind, did every dirty trick in the book as he constantly was hitting Dabura with punches to the throat, eye gouges and strong chops to the neck. Most of these blows would have killed a human in no time but Dabura was no human.
As a demon, Dabura would not die just because his neck was broken. He body would still move despite nerves being cut. His power was such that any conventional way of killing would not work on him.
Tao felt a power spike greatly behind him and saw that Roshi was ready to unleash his attack. At once, Tao moved out of the way.
Roshi then fired his strongest Kamehameha at the unsuspecting Dabura, the huge beam overtaking and drowning Dabura like a tital wave.
Dabura could feel his very essence tearing apart and it was then that the demon knew that he was done for.
However, he was joyful. No longer would he have to answer to that bug brained wizard nor tolerate the company of Bojack.
More so, he would finally die in peace, after having been alone for eons without end. He knew that likely, his spirit would drift to the world of the Kais where they would decide his temporary place of dwelling.
It was alright. He would repent in their Purgatory until the end of time. He would wait, gladly.
And in the end, he was sure that the almighty one would pardon him for his folly and that one day he would stroll in the garden of Paradise once more and take his rightful place amongst his brethren.
Once Dabura was dead, both Tao and Roshi suddenly fell out of their Serene State of Mind and found their bodies in complete pain and agony. They fell where they stood and soon were coughing madly as their body started to bleed once more from the spear wounds they recieved from the demon they killed just earlier.
Both Roshi and Tao could only look at each other in acknowledgment before the world went black for both of them.
Both Cell and Bojack had been at it for a while.
Bojack was having the time of his life as he threw a strong hook at Cell, who blocked it with his forearms. The big alien then proceeded to knee Cell in the stomach but Cell managed to fly upward to avoid the knee.
Cell then used Bojack's still outstretched arm as support as he handstood on it and then came down with a harsh axe kick that hit Bojack in the crown of his head.
Bojack felt immense pain as he was sent crashing into the ground. Bojack immediately hopped back up but Cell had already anticipated this and landed a fist on the back of Bojack.
The large alien was really getting angry now as this freak managed to out do him again. Bojack roared in pain and anger as he swipped behing him, hoping to hit Cell, but was dismayed that he only hit air. Cell was a few meters back and started to mock the alien.
"Is this the extent of your power? I hope you know that I really am not trying right now." said Cell smugly.
"You'll not be so confident after I transform." said Bojack as he grinned evilly.
Cell raised an eyebrow at this little piece of information.
"You can transform? Then by all means go ahead. It'll make this fight a bit more interesting." said Cell.
"Just don't say I didn't warn ya." said Bojack as he gave a primal roar. The clothes on his chest ripped apart from the increased body mass. Soon, stood Bojack with deep red hair and a lighter, lime green body.
"Time to die freak."
Before Cell had time to react, Bojack was already behind him. Bojack grabbed Cell by the head and placed his gigantic arms around Cell's neck.
Cell struggled a bit but it was no use. With not much effort, Bojack heard a snapping sound and he knew he broke Cell's neck. He ripped the head out of the body and held Cell's head high above his head. The look on Cell's face was one of utter surprise.
"Don't look so shocked you died so quickly you freak. I told ya it was your time to die." said Bojack with a smile. Turned out he was victorious once more.
Then, the head Bojack was holding suddenly smiled.
"Don't get too ahead of yourself. You may have ripped my head off but my body doesn't need it to defeat scum like you." said Cell.
Bojack looked in shock at the talking head on his hand.
"You're a freak and I don't like freaks. I'll rip you apart." said Bojack as he raised his fist to crush the Cell head on his hand.
Then, a headless Cell body came forward and gave a powerful kick on Bojack's ribs, sending the alien flying back. The Cell head was falling but the Cell body caught it's head.
Immediately, the body placed the head back on its body. Regeneration took place and soon, bone, tissue and nerves were recreated and Cell had his body and head working together once more.
Bojack emerged from a pile of rubble he landed on and looked on to see Cell with his head back on once more. He smiled.
"Well, I'm kinda glad that you didn't die so quickly. You almost let me down." said Bojack as he wiped his lips from blood.
Cell turned toward Bojack and spoke.
"I promise you, you won't get another chance like that again." said Cell coldly.
"Then how about we take the kiddy gloves off and get this party started." said Bojack.
"Your funeral." said Cell as a golden aura soon radiated from his body.
At once both Bojack and Cell started to fight once more. Bojack attempted a low kick to the shins, but Cell checked it. Backing off, Bojack then threw a series of green ki orbs toward Cell.
Cell dodged them all as they came at him but they were only a distraction as Bojack phazed above Cell and landed a strong boot on Cell's cheek.
Cell found himself flying back but he placed his hands and feet on the ground, using the friction to stop his momentum. Bojack was running straight at him. Cell resisted the temptation to face him head on and decided to stand there and wait until Bojack got close.
Bojack soon stampeded in, but Cell dodged at the last moment and stuck a foot out, tripping Bojack. The alien fell with a crash and Cell took this opportunity to fire off a Death Beam to Bojack's heart.
Bojack, feeling an overwhelming intent to kill, phazed out of the way using zanzuken to avoid the Death Beam and soon found himself behind Cell.
Cell, however, already had a plan just in case Bojack managed to escape and had formed a clone while Bojack was falling.
Just as Bojack was about to hit Cell from behind, Bojack felt another overwhelming intent to kill and turned to find another Death Beam heading his way.
Bojack could not get over the fact that there were now TWO Cells, but he didn't have much time to think as he jumped up to avoid the Death Beam.
The original Cell saw this and jumped up to follow Bojack while the alien's attention was on the Death Beam. He then landed a knee on Bojack's chin, snapping the alien's jaw shut.
Bojack felt his teeth rattle from the blow and formed a double axe handle to hit Cell below him in retaliation.
Unfortunately, Cell #2 was already behind him and he started to fire a volley of ki blasts that hit Bojack's back, sending the alien flying back down to Earth, crashing hard while a rain of ki blasts hit him.
Cell #1 took this time to assess the situation. He was somewhat shocked to see Bojack flying up and headbutting Cell #2 as he tanked through the ki blasts via a energy shield around him. Cell #2 took the blow harshly and was sent flying back.
Cell #1, knowing that the element of surprise was no longer on his side, made to attack Bojack once more.
Bojack swiped at him, but Cell ducked and landed a gut punch. Bojack doubled over in pain and Cell #1 took this time to phaze away and head toward Cell #2. Knowing that they had to join together again as the Multi-Form split their power, they merged back into one Cell again at full power.
The large alien was now extremely angry.
This freak was getting the best of him, even when he was transformed.
"You think you're going to get out of this alive just because you got in a couple of cheap shots? I'll kill you! Galactic Buster!" roared Bojack as he formed a gigantic ball of green ki and shot it at Cell.
Cell just stood there as he mocked Bojack.
"I won't even move! This attack won't kill me." said Cell with a smirk.
So Bojack's ultimate attack soon hit Cell. There was a large explosion as gale force winds and smoke erupted from the impact.
When the smoke cleared, Bojack smiled in victory as he saw Cell standing there with half his body missing. Cell had a look of utter shock and fear.
"H-How? I'm perfect! What did you do, you monster? You ruined me!" cried Cell in despair.
"You see, in the end, you were never a match for me you freak. You should have run when you had the chance." said Bojack before he started to laugh loudly in victory.
Cell grew angry at the mockery.
"STOP LAUGHING!" roared Cell in anger and despair.
Bojack, in response, just started to laugh even louder.
It was then that Cell smiled, putting a complete pause on Bojack's laughter.
"Just kidding." Cell said smugly as he soon regenerated the other half of his body. In less than a few seconds, Cell had regenerated and was as good as new.
"Too bad, to think that you finally won. I must say that I don't blame you. I have ALWAYS been a good actor." said Cell.
"B-But how. I-I put eveything I had into that." stammered Bojack in disbelief.
"Yes, well your 'everything' was not enough. Too bad. Now die!" roared Cell as he shot a Death Beam at Bojack.
Bojack was too drained to muster the speed to dodge and felt the beam pierce his heart. Bojack felt stinging, utter pain as his body fell down to the Earth.
The last thing Bojack saw was Cell standing over him, a large ball of blue ki forming in his hand.
Author's Note: Well, Bojack and Dabura are dead but what of Cell? And aren't we forgetting Majin Buu? Well, anyway, hope you all enjoyed.
