Chapter 34

Alaric charged at Cell instantly powering up as he threw a fist at the smirking android. Cell raised his arm to block but was unprepared for the kind of power or speed behind the blow. Alaric's fist hit the android's face and sent the monster flying back into a cliff as the battle began.

Cell rose to his feet out of the rubble and brushed himself off unhurt. "This could prove interesting indeed," he said as he charged back at Alaric throwing a flurry of kicks and punches.

Alaric raised his arms and blocked Cell's attacks and then fazed out of sight making one of Cell's punches pass though only after-image. Alaric took advantage of the monster being temporally off balance and appeared behind him planting his foot right in the back of Cell's head sending the monster stumbling forward. Using Instant Transmission, Alaric appeared right in front of the monster and drove his knee up into his chin with incredible force sending him flying back into another cliff.

"Man," Krillin said. "Alaric's amazing."

"Yes," Piccolo seconded. "I'll admit I had my doubts when you were trapped and have Alaric take your place but now I see that it was a good idea."

"Yeah," Goku said putting his hand in back of his head with the typical Son grin. "Alaric sure is strong. I'm going to have to train extra hard just to catch up again."

"But if you knew that Alaric was stronger than you, why didn't you just have Alaric fight first?" Tien asked.

"Well," Goku answered, "we decided that we'd have a better chance if I went against Cell first and gave the boys a chance to get Cell's fighting style down. That's why I dragged the fight out as long as possible even when there was little chance of winning." Goku winced as one of his ribs gave him a little bit of pain.

"Are you sure you don't need a sensu bean?" Trunks asked.

"No," Goku answered, "I'll be okay. Besides we may need them still."

Cell charged out of his new crater with energy in both hand bringing them together aimed at Alaric. "Final Flash," Cell screamed as he let the attack fly at Alaric.

The boy used Instant Transmission and the attack passed through only air before it exploded harmlessly on the desert floor. Alaric appeared behind Cell and brought his foot around into the android's face.

Cell went flying but recovered quickly and charged at Alaric throwing punches and kicks like wild but the Solorian blocked every one of them. Finally one managed to get through and hit Alaric in the face but the boy shrugged it off with a grin and then drove his knee up into Cell's stomach hard and then brought both fists down on Cell's head.

Cell went flying into the ground hard for the third time since the battle had started. He got to his feet panting slightly. "How can a mere boy have so much power? It's impossible. I can't be beaten," he screamed.

"Think again," Alaric said appearing behind him and backhanding him away. The young Solorian then appeared in front of Cell and landed a fist right into the monster's face sending him in the other direction once again.

Cell flipped over and landed on his feet before pushing off and rising into the air and cupping his hands at his side. "If you dodge this, the planet dies," he said. "Kamehameha," he shouted as he sent a blue beam of energy at the young Solorian.

Alaric cupped his own hands at his side and began gathering his own energy as Cell's beam shot at him. "Spiral Kamehameha," he shouted twisting his hands at the last second as he released his beam. The beam left his hands spinning as it sped toward Cell's own beam. Bits of energy flew in all directions as Cell's attack when Alaric's hit. The spectators took cover as this energy rained down all over the battle field. Alaric's beam continued to fly strait and hit Cell right in the chest boring through him before continuing into space.

-Dbz-

"Amazing," Yamcha said. "That was one heck of an attack."

"Yeah, it cut right through Cell's Kamehameha wave," Krillin added.

"Yeah, it's a combination between the Kamehameha and the Special Beam Cannon," Goku said. "Alaric came up with while we were in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. The spinning motion makes it travel faster and cut through most other energy attacks."

-Dbz-

Cell smiled as the hole in his chest closed up. "Resourceful aren't we?" he said. "But see if you can stop this." Cell let out a yell and shot out ten little miniatures of himself out of his tail. They landed on the ground and got to their feet. The ten little monsters all charged at Alaric and began throwing punches and kicks like wild.

Alaric blocked most of the blows but there were just too many of them for him to block them all. The young boy used Instant transmission to appear behind one of the monster's and brought both fists down on its back sending it flying to the ground but the other nine were on him in less than a second forcing him back on the defensive.

Cell smirked as he watched his children at work. "Now it's time to have some fun," he said as he fazed out of sight. He appeared above Alaric and sent a fist into the boy's face sending him flying back. In an instant he was behind the flying boy kicking him back to his children. One of the Cell Juniors kicked the young warrior back to his father allowing Cell to bring both fists down on Alaric's head hard sending the boy into the ground.

Alaric rose to his feet and wiped a trickle of blood from his lip. "This could get bad," he said as he rose out of his crater to continue the fight.

-Dbz-

"Alaric's in trouble," Krillin said.

"What do you say we keep them little monsters off of him?" Tien said.

"Haven't you noticed?" Yamcha said. "Even one of those little monsters is stronger than us."

"Speak for yourself," Vegeta said.

"Then we'll double team them," Tien said.

"No," Piccolo said. "There's too many of them for that. We'll each have to face one."

"That still leaves two unaccounted for," Yamcha pointed out.

"No, just one," Sixteen said joining the group.

"What do you expect to do, you walking scrap heap?" Vegeta said with a scowl.

"Miss Bulma didn't just repair me," he replied. "She also made many improvements. I should be able to handle one of the monsters easily enough."

"It's settled then," Gohan said finally taking a sensu bean from Trunks and putting it in his father's mouth causing his injuries to heal. "We'll each take on one of them to get them off Alaric's back."

"What about the last one?" Piccolo questioned.

"I'm going after Cell," Gohan replied, powering up before heading towards the battle scene.

"I'll just have to take on two of them then," Goku replied.

-Dbz-

"Kaioken x30," Yamcha shouted as he charged his own Cell Junior. The human warrior landed a foot in the unsuspecting monster's head sending it flying back.

The little monster soon rose to its feet and charged back at the human throwing a flurry of kicks and punches of its own.

Yamcha blocked the blows the best he could but the monster was stronger than him and some of the blows got through his defenses. Yamcha returned some kicks and punches of his own but it was clear that the little monster had the advantage.

-Dbz-

Tien's red aura swirled around him as he too battled off one of the Cell Juniors. The monster threw a punch at the triclop's face but Tien ducked under the blow and drove his fist into the monster's stomach.

The beast was unaffected by the blow and returned Tien's favor by throwing a fist into the human's face.

-Dbz-

Krillin dodged one of his opponent's punches as he faced off against a Cell Junior. The monk grabbed the monster's outstretched arm and pulled it into his knee doubling it over in pain.

Unfortunately for him, the creature quickly recovered and brought its fist into Krillin's stomach. It used its momentary advantage to throw a flurry of kicks and punches at the warrior.

Krillin grimaced as he blocked all of the attacks he could but some of them still managed to get through.

-Dbz-

Trunks flashed into Super Saiyan as he kicked the Cell Junior he'd picked out. Before the monster could recover, Trunks was on him like mad throwing a flurry of kicks and punches at the monster.

The monster blocked the best he could but Trunks was simply too strong. The young demi-Saiyan brought a fist into its stomach doubling it over in pain. In an instant he had a huge amount of ki in his hands and ended the monster's existence with little trouble.

-Dbz-

Vegeta threw a hard punch at the little monster sending it flying back. Before it could recover the Super Saiyan was behind it driving a knee up into its back. The prince finished up his combo by driving both fists down into the monster's chest sending it flying to the ground. Vegeta gathered energy in his hands and brought them together, "Final Flash," he shouted as he sent the killing blow at his monster.

-Dbz-

Sixteen brought his knee up into the little monster's face sending it up into the air. The android followed quickly getting above it and bringing a fist down hard into the back of its head. The little creature pummeled to the ground and landed unmoving. Sixteen wasted no time and landed next to it and pulled his arms off. "Hellfire blast," he shouted ending the fight.

-Dbz-

Goku charged the remaining two Cell Juniors and began trading blows with both of the monsters, neither having an advantage or giving any ground up. He blocked as one of the monster's brought a fist in at his face. Fazing out of existence, he appeared behind the other one and brought his knee up into its back.

Unfortunately in his haste he left himself open to the other little monster. The Cell Junior drove its elbow into Goku's back hard sending the Saiyan flying to the ground.

Goku rose to his feet and dusted himself off. In seconds he charged back at the two monsters.

-Dbz-

Alaric charged out of his crater at lightening speed and drove his fist into Cell's stomach hard. The Solorian wasted no time and came around with a hard kick right to the android's head. Now that he wasn't being pounded by Cell Juniors anymore he intended to keep Cell from interfering with any of his friends.

Cell recovered from the blow and began to throw some kicks and punches at Alaric but the boy blocked the blows with ease. The monster never let up for a second and continued to pummel the Super Solorian but none of the blows were doing any damage.

Alaric used Instant Transmission to escape the flurry of kicks and punches and appeared behind the android and brought both hands down on the back of Cell's head hard sending him flying into the ground hard.

-Dbz-

Krillin continued to trade blows with his Cell Junior. The monster was clearly a little bit more powerful than him but it lacked the skill to finish the fight quickly. Krillin dodged to the side as his opponent's fist went flying past him. Thinking quickly, Krillin shot a blast into the ground propelling himself backward away from his opponent. Krillin almost immediately began gathering energy in his hands. "Kamehameha," he shouted firing the blast toward his enemy.

The Cell Junior jumped easily to the side avoiding the blast and giggled like and idiot.

Krillin simply grinned as the monster was never his real target. The blast continued forward and hit the monster that Yamcha was fighting in the distance and wiping it out of existence. Krillin used this opportunity to charged at the monster he was facing and throw another punch at its face.

The little abomination dodged to the left but never saw the kick coming from above it. Yamcha's foot connected with hard to its head and sent it flying at Krillin.

Krillin quickly gathered as much energy as he could in his hands. "Kamehameha," he shouted sending the killing blow to the second Cell Junior. "Thanks for the assist," he said nodding to the scarred warrior.

"I owed you for freeing me up from the one I was fighting," Yamcha replied.

"Let's go give Tien a hand," Krillin suggested.

-Dbz-

Tien threw a punch at his opponent but the monster was faster than he was and dodged with ease. The triclops continued to throw punches and kicks like crazy but it was no use, the monster was just too fast for him.

Tien immediately closed his eyes preparing an old technique of his.

"Solar Flare!" Tien shouted sending out his signature attack and blinding the Cell Junior.

That was all Tien need as he cupped his hands in a triangle and focused on the monster. Tri-beam Cannon," he shouted sending a blast out that finished off the monster.

-Dbz-

Yamcha went flying back as the Cell Junior connected with a hard punch to his face. The warrior quickly recovered and charged back into the fight throwing a punch of his own at the monster. His fist passed through only after-image.

The monster appeared behind him ready to deliver a devastating blow but, Krillin drove his foot into its head before it could even see him. The monk floated next to his friend. "You alright," he asked.

"Yeah fine," Yamcha replied.

The two warriors charged at the monster throwing kicks and punches at it like wild. As fast as it was there was no way it could dodge all the fists that were flying.

Krillin sent the monster flying with a hard kick to its chest. Yamcha used this opportunity to cup his hands at his side. "Kamehameha," he shouted sending the beam of energy at the monster.

The beam hit head on and obliterated the monster leaving nothing behind.

-Dbz-

Goku dodged to the left as a tiny foot passed where he was a second before. He fazed out of sight and appeared right in front of his attacker and drove a fist into its stomach hard.

The monster was doubled over in pain and completely open to attack. Unfortunately, the other monster that Goku was fighting charged at the Saiyan before he could finish off the first. Goku fazed out of sight avoiding the blow and appeared behind the monster driving a knee into its back sending it flying into its friend. "Kamehameha," Goku shouted as he sent a beam of energy at the two monsters incinerating them both.

"About time," Vegeta said with his arms crossed over his chest.

Goku looked around seeing Gohan almost at Cell and Alaric's location. "I guess now we should back off and let Gohan handle it," he said as he flew to join the other Z-warriors at their spot on the cliff face.

-Dbz-

The Z-fighters remained silent as they watched Gohan stare down his opponent. The two of them continued to glare at each other, silent and in the midst of an intense feud. Now was the round that everyone has been waiting for, the battle between Gohan and Cell. Everyone was watching eagerly and with anticipation. Lime, Erran and Anya had their eyes pasted on the ring, not daring to tear their sights away from the two warriors. The camera crew and Hercule also had their sights fixed with the two fighters, wanting to capture every moment of this next battle. If the last fight was great, then this one should be really extraordinary. But not only did the entire Z-gang want to see the battle through, they also wanted to see Gohan's true power. He never ceased to amaze.

"Well, don't mind me," said Alaric a little beaten and bruised, but nevertheless lightening up the mood. "But I think I exit stage left, budah-budap-budah BYE!" Alaric floats on up and heads back to where the other Z-fighters location.

Unknown to the rest of the warriors, except for Alaric who was just there and knowing a little trick Gohan had up his sleeve, Gohan was already steadily powering up. With his slowly rising energy level, the tiles around him and at his feet began crackling with golden sparks of electricity. The currents failed to reach Cell or his yes, yet he knew something was happening. As Gohan glared, his hands fisted at his sides and his feet spread out to shoulder width apart. His stance took on a firm, balanced position, allowing him to initiate the next phase without any trouble. After eyeing his opponent for a moment, Cell chuckled, his own hands fisting and a smile crossing his lips.

"Come now Gohan, enough playing around," the android exclaimed. "Why don't we get this over with? Power up to your maximum, and show me what you can really do…"

Gohan just scowled, unheeded by Cell's taunt toned words. The Z-fighters could sense Gohan's energy level take an immediate rise at this and were astounded at the amount they were already feeling. Krillin turned to his friends standing behind him, nervous beads of sweat running down his forehead.

"Do you feel that guys?" the monk asked. Piccolo nodded affirmatively.

"Yeah, he's already powering up…" the Namekian replied. Yamcha gulped.

"It's incredible, I can already feel how strong he's really become," the warrior stated. Tien blinked with his stance set as one of caution.

"What do you think he plans on doing next?" he asked.

"It's hard to tell," Goku butted in. "My son is unpredictable. He won't let us down…"

"He never has," Mirai continued. Android 16#, who was standing by and watching with great intensity, took a note of the young Saiyan's power level. When he spotted the numerical rise in Gohan through his readouts, his eyes widened in astonishment.

"I detect a power level going off the charts. Although it is not as powerful as Goku's yet, it certainly is reaching that magnitude," the red haired fighter replied. "Gohan's strengths are inconceivable…"

Lime, Erran, Anya and their two guardians remained quiet, watching Gohan intently. They didn't want to cheer on now, as they just wanted to see their hero's brother fight.

Steve, at this point, couldn't help but comment on the fight. "Ladies and gentlemen, it appears our two fighters are locked in a staring contest! I believe the climax of this battle is yet to rise…" the reporter then turned to Hercule, holding his microphone up to the afro martial artist. "Mr. Satan, do you have any comments or explanations for these developing events?" he asked. Hercule was startled out of his gawking state and he turned to Steve in surprise. When he did, he cleared his throat and stood up to full height, that confident expression crossing his face.

"Well uhh…(coughs), as a professional martial artist, I must say that our competitors have great skill. But…" he opened his eyes and smirked at the camera. "There's no way they're a match for me. I'm saving my strength for my real match against Cell after he's beaten that boy." Steve and Bob, gullible enough to believe him, both nodded and continued on with their duties.

"Right, so tell us, how is it they're able to perform those amazing attacks, like the flashes of abnormal-out of this world energy and earth quaking punches?" Steve asked, pressuring the star champ. Mr. Satan smirked and crossed his arms.

"Well you see they're all tricks! Every flash of light and…and earthquake is generated by a series of explosions and fireworks. Just simple parlor tricks, smoke and mirrors, that sort of thing," he replied. Steve nodded affirmatively, smiling towards the camera.

"Well, that's the word from the master of martial arts people!" Steve exclaimed. "Could all this firelight and power be generated by mere machine? Or do these fighters possess otherworldly strengths beyond my own? We'll bring you all we can in the next hour!"

The Z-fighters heard what had been said, and many of them were outraged, especially Vegeta, who was becoming more irritated at their uninvited audience. Lime, Erran and Anya were also becoming thoroughly more annoyed by the antics of Hercule and his TV crew, especially by saying all of this was a mere trick. However, before any of the other Z-fighters could express any of their feelings, they turned back to the Cell Ring in surprise when they felt Gohan's ki level rise even more.

Taking a firmer stance, the young Saiyan glared harder at his opponent, eyes flickering. Suddenly, the ground around him began to crackle with a fiercer display of golden, electrical currents. The tiles and earth even began to shake, making Cell raise an eyebrow at the child's display of power already. Suddenly, golden electricity consumed Gohan and began flickering around him, shooting outwards and connecting with the four pillars on the four corners of the ring. The currents moved up and down them, as well as across the ground as the field of power expanded and then contracted. With its concentration into Gohan's body, the young Saiyan felt his power rise again, and finally, it hit him. He was ready. Bringing himself into a strong stance, Gohan reared his head back and let out a tremendous cry of power, a shock wave exploding out of him, cracking the tiles and sending dust everywhere. With that it began, he bent lower and gritted his teeth, groaning in agony as more golden bolts of lightning began shooting out around him. Currents ran up and down his body, sparks flying. Then, with a burst of golden light, a radioactive, golden glow began to illuminate off of him, followed by a strange loss of gravity. Tiles and debris began to rise off of the ground and float around him, caught up in his field of power. In another burst of light, his hair suddenly flashed light blonde, spiking up a bit and stiffening from its previous state. Cell and the Z-fighters gasped in shock when they sensed the child's power level take an amazing leap, the lightning storm around him growing with more intensity, more tiles beginning to rise. As Gohan's energy rose, flames of energy began coursing out and around him before suddenly, with one last, bellowing yell, he rose up to full height and powered up. Lifting off the ground a couple of feet, Gohan's golden aura exploded around him, unleashing a gale of wind and a tremendous explosion of force. Cell was nearly knocked over, the Z-fighters even lost their footing. Vegeta tried holding himself in his present position but slowly slid along the ground from the power output ripping at him. His eyes were torn open, showing his shock. Goku and Piccolo had to help hold onto Lime, Erran and the rest of Gohan's friends because of the winds were so great. It was a miracle that Hercule and his TV crew was still standing, hiding behind the high wall that led up onto the ring. The winds continued to blow fiercely, but then they all died, leaving a silent wind once again.

When Cell and the Z-fighters looked back, they were overwhelmed with astonishment when they saw the all new Gohan. Mouths flew open when they gazed upon the young Saiyan standing in his raging energy display. The young Saiyan was surrounded by a fierce, golden aura, golden bolts of electricity shooting out and around him. His eyes had flashed dark teal and his hair was light blonde and, like his gi, was waving in the winds of his aura. To add to this, his muscle span had increased slightly and he was surrounded by a golden, radioactive glow. Cell gawked at Gohan's amazing state and level of power, staggering back slowly as he took it all in. As he continued to stare, he watched the tiles that had once been floating in the air around Gohan come crashing back to the ground, filling in the gaps and landing in their exact positions.

"W-What is this?" he stuttered. "T-There i-is no way that b-boy's power level c-can reach this magnitude! I-Incredible!"

Krillin shook his head and looked back, making sure he wasn't dreaming. "Whoa! Is this for real?"

"It sure is!" Tien exclaimed, also gaping at Gohan in astonishment.

"Man! What a pro! How did Gohan ever get so strong?" Yamcha asked. Android 16 behind him was also gaping at Gohan, eyes wavering in their sockets and mouths hanging open. Vegeta was gritting his teeth, staring with bugged eyes at Gohan while trembling slightly. The amount of power he felt was beyond what he could achieve. Even Trunks was in a similar state.

Goku and Piccolo, who had spent a lot of time with the young Saiyan, were shocked as well. Unable to utter any words, they stared at the Son child as if he were some kind of super powered force that had just dropped from the heavens. It was something they had never fully experienced, Gohan's true Super Saiyan power. It was astounding!

Lime, Erran and Anya let out a simultaneous cheer, while Kasia and Jenny stared in surprise. They didn't know how, but Gohan's hair had suddenly turned gold, and that he had underwent an amazing transformation of some sorts. Their children didn't care though. Gohan looked great. Alaric landed with the girls not to long ago, but now witnessing Gohan's powering up, he couldn't help but chuckle at the irony of Cell digging his own grave.

Gohan's glare hardened on Cell, eyes glaring every time his energy passed by his face. "Power up Cell! I know that this isn't the best you can do," the young Saiyan stated. "If you have any chance of beating me, you'll power up to your utmost maximum, and dish out every trick you've got. Believe me, this is just for starters!"

Cell glowered for a moment, but then a smirk and a cocky expression crossed his face. His own eyes flashed sinisterly, and the android threw his hands down to his sides, wings opening as he tensed his muscles. "Alright then, if you're so anxious to witness my true power, then so be it! I was going to power up to maximum anyway, as I was saving it for something like this! Let's go!" he shouted. With a yell of power, Cell floated off of the ground, a large crater being punched into the earth as a golden aura burst up around him. His energy display was incredible too, sending winds hurling in all directions as debris and dust were ripped off of the ring and thrown into the air. Cell smirked before his look turned furious and he flung himself into flight across the ring and charged at his opponent. Gohan stood where he was, watching as Cell approached at an incredible rate. As Cell came down at him with a powerful left hook, Gohan kicked off the ground and took to the skies, his form fazing out as Cell's fist passed through him, hurling dust into the air with its force moving elsewhere. Momentum driving him forward, Cell took flight after his opponent, leaving the Z-fighters on the ground to watch the fight now underway.

Shooting up into the skies, Cell prepared to attack. Gohan reappeared floating many stories above the ground, the ring in clear sight, as well as Cell on his approach. Still floating in his aura, the young Saiyan dropped into a stance and watched his opponent charge him down. When the android reached him, with a roar of anger, he threw a right punch at the child, only for Gohan to disappear into thin air once more. Growing frustrated, Cell spun around, tracking his opponent. However, the young Saiyan was the faster, and he immediately appeared behind Cell and threw a right roughhouse kick straight across the monster's face. The android was struck full on, saliva flying free of his mouth as he was sent spiraling out of the control in that one direction of being hit. Gohan followed with a serious expression on his face and teeth gritted. After about 100 meters of flying, Cell stopped himself, dropped into a horse riding stance. Powering up, his golden aura sprung up around him as fierce as Gohan's, and together, the two fighters flew at each other, both of them ten times faster then what Goku and Cell's fight was. To add to it, both of them were powered up to maximum now. So, with their auras flaring and ki levels driven to their absolute limits, the two of them flashed into thin air before they even reached each other. It was from here their battle was taken to a higher altitude, shock waves and explosions suddenly bursting out all across the skies. The two fighters weren't even seen as blurs as they whizzed through the open spaces, charging at each other and attacking one another. The Z-fighters on the ground couldn't even catch a glimpse of them as they moved at such high speeds. The only signs of Gohan and Cell were the explosions and sonic booms punching themselves into the skies, shaking the entire planet with the very force. Gohan and Cell were fighting on a whole new level of power, taking it to that whole new dimension that reached extraordinary feats.

The normal humans on the ground who were forced to look up, like the Z-fighters, couldn't see the two warriors battle it all out above their heads. They thought that two fighter bombers were at war with each other. But it soon became quite apparent that no army could produce such a barrage. Lime, Erran, Kasia, Anya and Jenny, though fully confident at Gohan's abilities to handle himself, couldn't even see their hero fight. They were truly amazed. Steve, Bob and Hercule on the other hand, were completely bewildered. One thing was for certain, they had no idea what was going on!

A tremendous shock wave, larger then all the millions that had already taken place ripped through the skies and shook the earth with its force when it appeared 50 stories above the arena. The two fighters could be seen, flashing into focus with both their elbows locked together. As blue and golden lightning shot out from between the two, they suddenly disappeared again, and so, the explosions of force and shock waves continued. At the fastest rate anyone had ever seen, these bursts of force created ripples. These ripples blew away anything that got within their radius, such as clouds and earth. Whenever the two warriors pulled up close to the ground, massive craters were punched into it. Even one of the pillars, one that got too close to the fray, shattered into thousands of pieces. The Z-fighters were lucky they weren't on that end. A trail of exploding shockwaves went up, moving through the sky and diving close to the earth as the two fighters locked themselves in a long engagement of colossal proportions. Here, as they drew closer, you could see the two blurs of the fighters, fists and kicks flying out of focus. The trail of explosions reached the ring, with Hercule and the TV crew ducking for cover as the explosions got to close, and another crater was punched into the surface of the ring.

Sending a punch at his opponent, Gohan forced Cell back. The android revealed himself, skidding backwards to a stop on the ring and coming into focus. With a roar of anger, Cell threw his right hand forward and launched a golden ki blast at an open space down the way of the ring. The streak of energy hurled onto the horizon of the arena, striking the ground some ways away. It was here Gohan flashed into focus, leaping into the air. With his opponent now in plain view, Cell brought his left hand back, palm faced up. It was then, with a growl of anger, the android produced a large, golden disk. The disk sizzled above his palm, alerting Gohan of it. "DESTRUCTO DISK!" Cell yelled, throwing the deadly attack straight at his target. The ki enhanced weapon curved through the air, right on target. The young Saiyan smirked, acting quickly. Reaching over his back, he gripped the handle of his sword. As soon as the disk was in range, he slashed out at it. In a flash of blue, the disk was sliced cleanly in two, all momentum in it disappearing as it shattered into shards of energy, dissipating into nothing. Gohan landed, watching Cell glare at him hatefully. When the Saiyan touched down, he twirled his sword in his hand, directing its blade at his opponent cool style. Because he held it in his left hand, he faced Cell with his left side, sword tilting more to the left. The green android saw the child brandish the weapon threateningly at him, but all he did was smirk and drop into a Namekian fighting stance.

"Do you think I'm afraid of that little butter knife?" Cell taunted, narrowing his eyes further on his opponent. "Do you even know how to use that?"

Gohan frowned, a golden bolt of lightning passing him by. "You're overconfident if you're underestimating me or my Spirit Blade…" Suddenly, Gohan stood up and brought his sword up. He flung it out, pointing it at the ground. He then brought it up again and threw it too his side, a current of blue lightning shooting out of its tip, striking the earth and cracking it. The Z-fighters, Hercule, Cell and everyone who was watching stared in surprise and interest, seeing what would happen next.

In a display of power, Gohan gripped his weapon in two hands and held it up, pointing the blade skywards. Then, powering up using a new source of energy, his aura suddenly turned red. As a further result, it began to swirl around him like a tornado, tearing up the earth. Blue lightning shot out of his whirlwind of energy, which consume his weapon and enveloping it. This show of power continued for a moment or so, but then, seconds later, there was a blinding flash of light. That light was like a solar flare, blocking everyone's view temporarily before it faded. When everyone looked back, they saw what happened to Gohan. And believe them what they saw, it was shocking.

Gohan's overall appearance may not have changed, but the weapon he wielded did. On his left shoulder, he had a spiky, black, pauldron with brown leather straps weaved around his shoulder and wrapped around his arm, which ended in a black, leather glove in his left hand where he usually held his sword. His sword now, which was one a respective, curved claymore with a distinctive handle, had now transformed into a massive sword with a similar curved handle but with a huge blade. The blade's width was about the same width as the handle guard, and its length had increased double its original length. It was huge, with an extremely sharp edge and point. Moving it down, Gohan held it firmly in his left hand and swung it around, twirling it as if it were nothing and ending with the weapon propped up on his shoulder safely atop of his pauldron. He closed his eyes, a serious expression still imprinted on his face.

Goku stammered. "W-What is that?"

Piccolo gulped. "Nothing I've ever seen, that's for sure…"

Lime, Erran and Anya were awe struck. "Wow!" they all shouted at once.

"That's the biggest sword I've ever seen!" Erran exclaimed.

"And I bet it's really sharp too," Kasia added, pulling her child too her. "Better keep away from it."

'Gohan, you're too much,' thought Alaric laughing to himself quietly.

Krillin blinked. His eyes were wide like saucepans. "H-How did he do that? I've never seen him do that before!"

"I have," Trunks said. All the Z-fighters, including Alaric's girl friends, looked at the time traveling warrior, seeing him staring at the Saiyan warrior with awe. Vegeta looked at his son, very nervous himself.

"You know what that is?" Mirai nodded affirmatively.

"Yeah, I know exactly what it is," Trunks replied. "Ever since my master told me all about his weapon, he showed me all the things he could do with it. Not only was it the strongest sword of its kind in the universe, but in his hands, it tripled in strength and became a weapon of precision and efficiency. With it, he could summon its energies and modify it. By doing so, the sword can morph into all sorts of blades, making it twice as efficient and twice as deadly. This blade is what he calls his Buster Blade. You can tell because of its massive blade and the ability to quick strike with it, and it's also amazingly light, as well as strong. Its density is far greater then it's mass. But what's more terrifying about it is the fact that it can cut through even the strongest metal in the universe, cleaving it in two!" The Z-fighters gaped at Trunks, before turning back to the field to see what would happen.

Cell stepped back, taking a more cautious stance as he set his sights on Gohan. The young Saiyan still had his eyes closed, the wind blowing by him making him stand in a cool way, easily standing out with his new weapon. After a moment or so, the android growled and took a step forward, hands fisting.

"Why you brat!" he growled. "Do you think that sword scares me?! Even with that weapon, you are nothing!" Gohan was unfazed by his words. He continued to stand there, as if no abusive words were sent at him. Getting no response out of his opponent, the android quickly grew more irritated. He held up his right fist, which trembled with his anger. "Fine! Don't say anything! I'll incinerate you and your sword!" He pulled his hand back, a ball of golden energy forming. With a yell, he pitched it at Gohan, the attack curving through the air and growing as it approached. "HAVE IT!"

The ball of energy crackled with golden electricity as it soared at Gohan at incredible speeds, threatening to strike him. When the young Saiyan sensed the attack approaching him, he suddenly sensed the energy ball enter his field of defense. So, without even bothering to open his eyes, Gohan moved his sword of his shoulder and, moving a bit to the side, he brought his weapon around and slashed outwards to his side, the blade slicing through the air like butter, easily handled in his grip. In a flash of blue, his slash sliced the ki ball in two, the two halves soaring past him without inflicting any damage. They disappeared into thin air after flying past, now that their efficiency had been cut in half. Cell gasped when he saw his attack swept away, and so, he got even angrier. With a yell of rage, he powered up and flew at Gohan, who stood with his weapon still held out at his side. Now the fight was on.

When he sensed Cell's approach, Gohan acted quick. Bringing his sword back, he gripped it in two hands and leaping into the air, he quickly came down, sword's blade pointed up. Without any effort, and with his eyes still closed, he brought his sword into a downward strike, directed straight at Cell. The android saw Gohan's swift attack, and with a yell of shock, he leapt to the side, just as the young Saiyan's blade came down on him. The sword struck the earth, cracking it and seemingly splitting the ground completely in two. The energy of the attack traveled on, a massive split starting from the tip of his blade and moving forward, cutting the ring cleanly in two. The Z-fighters were in shock when they saw what had happened. But it wasn't over yet. Cell, who had, moved to the side and landed, skidding to a stop, took a defensive stance. He watched Gohan stand up, bringing his massive sword around before flying at the android, eyes still closed. Cell took immediate action, leaping into the air just as Gohan slashed out at him with his blade. The android, as he was flying over Gohan and threw the air, held his right hand up and towards the young Saiyan. With a yell, the android fired off a blue energy ball straight at the child, yelling Vegeta's known words. "BIG BANG ATTACK!"

The ball of energy soared straight for Gohan's back. It threatened to send the young Saiyan into oblivion, but the child new better. Sensing the attack approaching, he opened his eyes and gritted his teeth. With a yell, he leapt into the air, and performing a back flip, kicked up at the attack with a charged up shin. His kick struck home, like hitting a soccer ball. It was with that move did he send the attack straight back up at its owner. Cell gasped, moving to the side as the attack zipped passed him, heading straight for a distant mountain. The mountain exploded into a fire ball, reduced to nothing but a crater full of rubble. It was then when Cell glared back at his opponent to see Gohan, who was still airborne, turn around and bring his sword up, blade held up. The android growled and then charged, hurling through the air and heading down for his opponent, fists raised back in attack. The young Saiyan furrowed his brow, concentrating hard as the android flew at him. It was then through great speed and stamina, Gohan backed away as Cell threw a right fist down at him, to which he avoided. The android then came back up with a left body shot, forcing Gohan to move to his right and back away more to Cell's outside to avoid it. With a yell of effort, Cell sent a right roundhouse kick up and at Gohan, swiping through the air to strike. Gohan avoided it again. Right after leaping back from that, the young Saiyan spun around on the spot and sliced out at Cell's head. The android ducked it barely, and came up with a new attack. He brought hi right hand back, a golden energy ball powered up in it. He punched out at Gohan with it, aiming for his face. The young Saiyan responded by moving his sword up, the blade acting as a shield in front of him, which blocked the blast and causing its explosion to backlash with incredible force. Burning Cell's hand with the force adding up to its blow back, the attack sent Cell flying and spinning out of control.

Quickly, Gohan sheathed his weapon, which instantaneously transformed back into his old sword. His pauldron and glove vanished, leaving him back in his original outfit. Powering up, so that his golden aura sprung up around him, the young Saiyan shot at Cell full speed. With a new power build, he struck out with his right palm, intent on knocking his opponent down. Cell, however, was ready. He grabbed Gohan's wrist and sent his own punch at him. The young Saiyan grabbed his fist, and quickly acting on fighter's instinct, spread his arms out. As a result he pulled Cell towards him. When he did, he drove his knee straight into his face, knocking Cell back with a shockwave resounding. Dropping back, the golden haired warrior powered up, his aura flaring wildly. When he did, he threw both hands forward and unleashed one of his signature moves, Scattered Volley Shot. A series of golden energy blasts shot froth from his hand, a barrage of twelve highly concentrated attacks that shot at Cell and exploded on impact. The android was badly beaten up, a cloud of smoke blinding all view of all damages inflicted upon him. Gohan lowered his hands dropped into a fighting stance and watching the cloud of smoke dissipate. But before it could, he suddenly heard the words, "KA-ME-HA-ME-HAAAAA!" and suddenly, a blue blast shot out of the cloud and straight at Gohan. The young Super Saiyan only had time to cross his arms over his face before the attack struck his defense, exploding with magnificent ferocity that sent him flying back several meters. Because of his defense, he was alright, but he was still slightly damaged. Lowering his arms, he glared at the cloud, only to see Cell fly out of it and charge at him with a yell. Gohan responded, flying back and engaging the android in another furious battle. Their fists struck each other, exploding into a shock wave. This was followed up a knee, then an elbow and finally a hook. All attacks struck each other, doing relatively no damage before the two fighters, flashed into super speed. More sonic explosions and gales of force began exploding across the skies, the atmosphere coming too close to the very fight. The Z-fighters' eyes kept wheeling left and right with the full intention of trying to lock onto their targets. But unfortunately, they both moved so fast it was impossible to spot them.

The two of them battled across the skies and clouds, each attacking each other and receiving their fair share of damage. However, with his strength the superior and having endured harsher battles then this, Gohan was on a winning streak. He managed to fight back Cell's attacks on his own, not letting up for an instant. As the fight grew fierce and both their powers rose, everyone felt that the entire area would soon collapse. But it wasn't over yet. Flying straight down to the centre of the ring in the form of a green bolt of lightning, Cell landed, glaring up with fury edged in his eyes. Suddenly, he saw Gohan appear many stories above, flying straight down as well. With a yell, Cell drew his right hand back and threw it forward, unleashing a blue ball of energy. Well, it seemed like a blue ball of energy, but not until it broke up into 100's of small, blue death beams. Cooler's signature move. Gohan slowed his flight path, watching as the barrage of narrow beams curved in every direction before flying at him again. He was ready. Drawing back his left fist, a golden orb of energy formed around his hand. With a loud yell, he sent an uppercut forward, striking the barrage of beams at once. In a mighty explosion, all the attacks went up, lighting up the sky with the force of an atomic bomb. The shockwave nearly knocked everyone off their feet, but when the explosion died, there was a cloud remaining. Cell, sensing his opponent was still alive, powered up. A green aura burst up around him, burning furiously while both his hands were drawn back. With a yell, he threw his hands forward, firing off one of Gohan's moves. "SCATTERED VOLLEY SHOT!" The barrage of golden blasts curved through the air and shot into the cloud, disappearing. Another explosion occurred, this one twice as powerful as the last. Yet another, thicker cloud took its place in the sky. Gohan was nowhere to be seen.

Grinning, Cell finished off his assault, bringing both his hands forward and placing his thumb and fingers together, forming a diamond shape with his hands. Gazing through the space made by his hands, he held it forward, his view enhancing and magnifying on the cloud. Everyone knew what attack that was. With a grin, he powered up and launched the blast, yelling "TRI-BEAM HAAAAAAAA!" An orange, diamond shaped attack shot out and expanded, striking the cloud before igniting into a far more deadly explosion which rocked the skies and shook the earth. Everyone gazed transfixed on the fireworks display. Within moments, the explosion died, leaving nothing left but a mist. Cell chuckled, his eyes glued onto the area he had been attacking. He was expecting to see a smoking body flying in the middle, but then when all the smoke cleared, he was shocked to find nobody was there. No body, no remains, heck not even burning ash remains.

"What's going on?" he shouted. "Where's the blasted body! GAH!" He growled in frustration, his eyes searching the skies for his opponent. It was all clear, but there was no trace of the Super Saiyan child anywhere. He cursed at himself to have lost him, and continued looking around. But then, when he caught onto the Z-fighters' eyes, he saw that they were all staring at him. But why?

Then, it hit him, literally…

"Looking for me," a familiar voice said from behind, resulting in Cell turning around in response. With his defense lapsed, he got pummeled right in the stomach when a fist came out of nowhere. This was followed up by a hook across the face and then a knee into his chest. The three powerful blows winded the android and staggered him back, his hands placed over his gut. It was then when he suddenly coughed up purple blood, his essence spilling onto the ring. He looked up, eyes bugging to see a equally damaged Gohan standing there with a tattered, torn gi and a bleeding lip. His forehead also had a bruise but wasn't anything severe. He was relatively okay. The young Saiyan glared, everyone on the ground shocked, including Cell.

The android growled, glaring at him furiously. "Why you? How did you do that?"

"Do what?" Gohan queried.

"Get behind me, that's what!" the android yelled. Gohan raised his hands, taking his Mystic Dragon stance.

"I'm not telling you anything!" Gohan stated. "We're in the middle of a fight, and that's what we're going to do! Fight to the death!" Cell growled, standing up to full height and taking a powering up stance.

"Is that so!" he shouted, before smirking. "Well then, this should be interesting! For I have yet to show you young warrior what I'm truly capable of!" Gohan furrowed his brow, his energy spiking up. He reached back and drew his sword. With a flick to the side, a blue flash of light consumed his hands, along with a current of electricity that crackled and sizzled around it. In that instant, when the light disappeared, his sword had once again morphed into a new type of blade. This one had a larger, claymore blade, wider and thicker. It wasn't as big as his Buster Blade, but it was sure smoother. His handle had also changed. Although it still curved, on the Pummel was now silver, as was the handle guard. The handle guard however has changed a lot. Along the base of the blade was a metallic version of a skeleton, its rib-cage enveloping the blade where it tightened and the scowl being its symbol. It also had dragon wings as the guard for the handle. To add to it, the entire sword crackled with blue electricity with every movement. The young Saiyan brought it into a sword fighting stance, electric blade pointing at his opponent who looked more surprised then ever.

"Can it…!" Gohan said. Cell yelled and threw his hand back, a ball of blue energy forming and growing in his palm. It crackled as his aura sprung up around him, his energy concentrating into his attack.

"Fine then! DAISENKO HAAAAAAAA!" the android yelled, throwing his hand forward and firing off Gohan's most powerful attack. The bellowing blast shot out of his palm, with triple the strength of Goku's Kamehameha wave. It hurled through the air, flying directly at Gohan with no inclination of stopping. However, that was about to be tested. Taking his basic stance again, Gohan pulled his sword around and held it back, before slashing forward with it. As soon as it came in contact with the spearhead of the enemy blast, it suddenly got sucked into his blade, transforming into a more powerful current of electricity that ran up and down his sword. Cell was shocked beyond belief, so were the Z-fighters.

"What in the world!" Yamcha shouted.

"Gohan's sword sucked in that blast completely! I didn't know it could do that, I thought I knew everything else about his sword technique, hmmm, he must have discovered this afterwards," Alaric yelled as well, saying the last part to himself. Everyone else was just speechless. However, someone needed to answer everyone's questions, and that one person who wasn't shocked enough was Trunks.

"It's the Sword of Aragon…the Angel's Blade!" Mirai exclaimed, eyes wide. "Unlike the other swords, this one has the ability to absorb all energy attacks, no matter how powerful the attack is. Though the Spirit Blade and all his other blades destroy or deflect energy attacks, this one can suck any into its own steel, so Gohan can control any high-powered energy attack sent at him!" the young warrior said. Everyone heard him, but didn't say a word.

"How many blades does he have exactly?" Piccolo asked. Mirai shrugged.

"Don't know. I've only seen ten of them," the warrior replied.

With a yell of rage, Cell charged at Gohan, bringing his right and left hands back and sending energy into them. In flashes of light, green energy blades formed around his hands, wrists and arms, sizzling with great intensity. Gohan saw him approach and smirked, flying at the android in kind and locking him in a furious battle of blades. Sword struck out against energy slashes, both of them locking in that duel. They leapt around, using super speed to pursue each other. Every now and then they would appear on the ring, striking out at the other and locking blades. Everyone could see them move this time, with their weapons spinning around like whirlwinds, and their strikes deadly and precise. It would seem that both super powers had the upper hand. However, it was clear it was not to last.

The next time they reappeared, Cell slashed out at Gohan, who blocked his strike and held it in place. With a quick movement of his blade along the android's wrist, his sword sucked in the energy from Cell's arm, and the energy blade shattered, making Cell reel back in shock. He tried striking out again, but then when he struck Gohan's incoming blade, the energy shattered again, staggering the android. With a yell of rage the android leapt back. He increased distance between him and his opponent, making it safer for him. Gohan, satisfied with the damage he had inflicted on Cell's energy, sheathed his sword and took a fighting stance. Just then, the two fighters shot at each other in super speed form, locking in the centre before engaging in yet another intense brawl across the arena and through the air closer to the ground. The Z-fighters had to cover their eyes on some occasions as debris flew at them whenever the two moved close to the edge. Shockwaves continued ringing out at an extraordinary rate, sending dust and debris flying everywhere. Particularly strong ones burst out with such strength it cracked the ground or punched another crater into the surface of the ring. Lime, Erran and Anya cheered Gohan on, while their mothers held them back, worried for their safety. Steve and Bob continued their duties and filmed the whole thing, leaving Hercule flabbergasted.

"Folks, this is turning out to be an amazing battle! Though unseen by most of us for a majority of the time, it appears that the two hard warriors are turning this into a fight to the death! There will be no letting up here for either of them ladies and gentlemen! This is real hard core stuff!" Steve yelled into his microphone. He was right; it was one hell of a battle.

Gohan and Cell came into focus, leaping across the ring while locked in a furious brawl. Fists and kicks flew, both of them glaring each other down during the whole ordeal. More craters were formed by their powerful attacks as well, with the two of them flashing in and out of sight. The fight may have been traceable at some points, but all over it was hard to know who had the upper-hand in it all. However it was plainly obvious Gohan was winning. He countered every furious assault Cell launched at him, and retaliated with double the force. Now it was Cell's turn to feel the pain and fear he had caused for so long, and Gohan was giving it to him fair and square. It may have been a fight to the death, but Gohan wasn't going to use any dirty tactics to win it. He fought honorably. And that was a fact.

Suddenly, the fight began moving so fast that even the shockwaves came up in all unexpected places. Two more pillars were knocked down, leaving only their bottom halves standing and on the verge of crumbling. The Z-fighters now had all lost track of them, they were moving so fast they were invisible. Then the heat was turned up, and both fighters began giving it their all. The shockwaves appeared more and more fierce and powerful, their doubled strengths cracking the earth and punching more craters into them. Real damages were being made. As the two fighters flew at each other and locked elbows, they kicked off, still using super speed. Cell managed to slow himself down from going back too far and shot back at Gohan, pulling his right leg back and throwing an incredibly powerful knee into Gohan's stomach. The child received the mind-boggling blow, his cheeks puffing at being winded. He then spewed up a ton of blood, which splattered along his gi top and flew everywhere. But that was child's play compared to what he could take. He quickly recovered, and came back at Cell with a tremendous right roundhouse kick across his face and an upper cut into his stomach. These two blows staggered Cell, with the young Saiyan's fist being left in the android's stomach. It was after these combo blows did Cell spew up his own blood, purple fluids splashing everywhere and staining his clothes. But the two of them continued regardless of their damages, clothes being ripped and severe bruises continuing to be made. They fought on, leaping across the ring and hurling through the air. It made everyone dizzy, looking from left to right so quickly. It made their heads spin.

Suddenly, they heard a tussle behind them and a slight gust of wind. In surprise, the Z-fighters turned around and looked behind them. There, just a few meters away, they saw Gohan and Cell wrestling on the ground. Cell was on top of the young Saiyan and pinning him down with an elbow and his hand, with Gohan trying to grapple him off. Both of them glared hatefully at each other, their energy levels forming winds that escaped them and blew at the Z-fighter standing around, staring in shock. Then, with a yell of effort, Gohan brought both his hands under Cell's chest and powered up a ki blast, which sent Cell flying off of him and into the sky. The android disappeared into super speed again. Gohan quickly got back onto his feet, powering up and giving chase. More shock waves followed a split second later after the two of them flashed out of focus, moving them into another battle. They reappeared on the ring again, Gohan kicking Cell into the last standing pillar which collapsed under the weight of Cell and the force of his backward flight. As it crumbled the android back-flipped and returned to an upright position. With a yell, he went super speed, flying straight at Gohan who landed ring centre, and was glaring ahead of him. When he saw Cell flying at him, the young Super Saiyan let out a yell and threw a left roundhouse kick into the air, striking Cell directly in the face and clothes lining him. The android flew past, staggered and spiraling out of control. Seconds later, he crashed to the ground, skidding on his left leg, right knee and hands, which helped slow him down. When he stopped he stood up and glared hatefully at his opponent, who back-flipped away and landed in a fighting stance on the other side of the ring. Then the two of them stopped for the moment, maintaining their positions.

They both panted heavily, both of them with blood staining their skin and/or clothes. Gohan was clutching his right chest, with Cell his stomach. If they knew any better, they found it hard to breathe because of the damages inflicted. However, they were both tough. Seconds after they had started panting, they both eased their breathing, with Cell smiling while Gohan wiped his mouth of any blood. He wanted to remain as descent as possible.

"Well done," Cell exclaimed cheerfully. "You've actually managed to beat me in both strength and speed at my 100 percent maximum!" the android exclaimed. "However, this is where I will show you my utmost maximum! I shall exceed 100 percent and power up to 110 percent, the perfect of perfect forms!" Cell roared. Gohan raised an eyebrow, curious to see how he would achieve this. The Z-fighters were actually worried now.

Balling his fists, Cell took a powering up stance and raised his ki to its limit. With a shockwave and an incredible display of energy, a golden aura exploded around him and his power soared through the roof. It increased beyond anyone's expectations. Gohan remained in his fighting stance, staring at the android as he powered up. Everyone was nearly knocked off their feet at the amount of energy that radiated off of Cell as he powered up. Shockwave after shockwave exploded out from him, bolts of golden electricity joining his warping energy as he continued to grow more and more with strength. Within moments, his energy level had increased to an astounding level, and from here, he was done. His aura, which had once expanded to an incredible radius, shrunk back into a normal aura, one with green bolts of electricity surrounding him. His wounds had practically healed over and he was smirking at Gohan with pink, flashing eyes.

"So kid, care to take another shot?" the android explained, holding his hand up and gesturing for him to bring it on. Gohan furrowed his brow and frowned even more, golden bolts of energy suddenly shooting around him. It was then when he powered up, his aura exploding around him. With a yell, Gohan hurled himself across the ring and charged at his opponent, fists raised back in attack.

With a show of force, Gohan threw a punch straight Cell's face. He only managed to move it to the side and bury his fist in, but with no damage whatsoever. Cell smirked. Growling through bared teeth, Gohan continued hammering punches away into Cell's upper body, kicks joining them in his flurry. The Z-fighters were shocked, seeing how much Cell's endurance, durability and strength had increased. The android couldn't even feel the young Saiyan's attacks as they struck him. The shockwaves that followed burst all over Cell's body but did nothing, even less then Gohan's blows did. Then, after unleashing a unyielding assault onto his brick wall of an opponent, Gohan pulled back. Cell immediately attacked after Gohan stopped, sending a left jab across his face. The young Saiyan was sent flying back from the punch but didn't go far when Cell sent an upper cut into his stomach, then a hook and an elbow across his face, and finally a left side kick to his stomach to send him on his way. The assault was quick and powerful. Gohan landed on his own two feet but continued sliding back before eventually stopping. He staggered forward, falling a bit off balance but fell onto his right hand, which supported him. Panting, Gohan glared up with gritted teeth, body trembling with even more blood leaking out of the corner of his mouth. Cell grinned.

"Man, he's quick!" Krillin said.

"His speed has increased as much as his strength," Piccolo continued, gritting his teeth nervously. "His power has risen dramatically. It's almost impossible…"

"Is there no end to this fiend's power?" Vegeta growled.

Gohan coughed, wiping the blood away from his bottom lip and getting to his feet. He saw and heard Cell laugh with amusement before holding his left hand towards him. The young Saiyan didn't falter under it, not even after sensing an incredible level of energy flow into the android's forward hand. The Z-fighters gasped when they saw a golden orb of energy form in front of Cell's outstretched hand. The android let out a sinister chuckle and further enhanced his sights on his target. He could see how much Gohan had weakened, and so knew how much energy he needed to finish him.

"It was a nice run kid," the android exclaimed. "But I'm afraid your winning streak is at an end. Therefore, I bid thee farewell, and wish you a happy trip to the Otherworld," Cell said. Gohan said nothing. The Z-fighters began worrying about the child, wondering if he was going to be doing anything to stop Cell's attack. But all the young Saiyan did was return to a proper standing position and glare ahead of him at the android. With a smirk, Cell put the last ounce of power he needed into his charging attack. "GOOD-BYYYYYYEEEEEEE!"

With a loud bellow of force, his attack shot forth from his hand and expanded to an incredible level, enveloping Gohan and consuming him in a burning fate. The very earth itself shook as the blast shot out, absorbing its target and practically disintegrating it and continuing on. Lime, Erran and Anya cried out for Gohan, while the other Z-fighters gazed with open shock at what had just happened. The camera crew and Hercule were also shocked beyond belief, and moments later, the blast died out, leaving nothing left but a cloud of thick smoke and a ruined ring from that last attack. Cell laughed, while Lime, Erran and Anya whimpered in hurt in the background with the Z-fighters gaping in pure shock.

The android glared ahead of him, seeing the result of his work unfold. "Well, that was easy…" he trailed off. He sensed something…something big. As he gazed into the cloud of smoke his expression became one of uncertainty. And then, it turned into a look of fear and shock as the cloud slowly cleared, and from within it, a shadowy figure emerged. The Z-fighters, once slowly being overcome by grief, also gazed up in shock. Lime and the other two girls also dropped from their grief stricken states and were also staring, surprised when they saw Gohan emerge from the cloud. Then it hit them. An incredible power surge beyond anything they had ever encountered. Not even Cell could produce such an astounding level. With the appearance of this familiar presence came a new form that had enveloped Gohan, one different from any form the Z-fighters had seen. When the smoke cleared, Gohan was revealed to be alive and well, but his body and outward appearance had changed dramatically. Standing in the same damaged outfit as before, the child had undergone a new transformation. Though no golden aura surrounded him, the young Super Saiyan had a bio-electric field of blue electricity crackling fiercely around him. His muscle span had increased a bit more, plus his height, and his hair had changed from slightly spiky and light blonde to a darker, golden blonde with strands of hair that stood on end and a single bang of hair that hung over his forehead. His eyes had also changed from teal to turquoise. It was a surprise to see him alive, but it was an even bigger surprise to see him in the next form of Super Saiyan.

Gohan glared up at Cell, his eyes filled with high spirits, fury and a fighter's shine. "It's over Cell…I'm putting an end to this!" were the words spoke from the Super Saiyan 2 warrior.

'Yep, Cell's screwed,' Alaric thought, smiling inwardly.
