Broly smirks, folding his arms "I'm not familiar with this form of yours. This must be your first form." Cell nods "Precisely... for my hell, I am trapped in my first form, and the reflection of the water shows me as I should be." Broly nods "Well, that isn't why I'm here. I could use your help. There is a tournament coming up, between our universe and seven other universes. Ten fighters each universe. No weapons, no killing. I want you to be our tenth member."

Cell narrows his eyes "What do I get out of it?" Broly smirks "Well, first off, if our team loses this tournament, this universe is erased along with you. Other than your personal stake in it, I can help you regain your lost power, and much more. You could surpass your former perfect self." Cell goes wide eyed "What kind of power?" Broly turns Super Saiyan Blue and Cell gasps "This energy... I cannot sense your power level, but I feel it all around me... This is incredible." Broly nods "This is not the full extent of my power, but I thought it would be sufficient for our demonstration. So, now I can see I peaked your interest."

Cell glares at Broly "Why me?" Broly smirks "That's easy. You have DNA from several of the strongest fighters in the universe. You have a vast array of techniques and strategic knowhow. Plus, once we are done training together, you should easily be on my level. So, can I expect you to help?" Cell smirks "On one condition. I want you to revive me." Broly chuckles "No deal. If you want your life back then you are going to have to win the tournament. Best fighter for their respective universe wins the right to make a wish on the Super Dragonballs." Cell smiles "Very well... I'll lend a hand." Broly smiles "Thats good to hear. I'll be by to collect you later."

After Broly leaves Hell he comes to the realization that Cell can't train with him in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Broly cups his chin "Must be some way to make him stronger... hmm..." He puts his fingers to his forehead "Time to meet up with everyone and tell them what's going on." After gathering together the rest of the fighters Broly stands in the middle of the group "The tenth fighter for our universe will be Cell." Jaws dropped, eyes threatened to pop out of skulls. 18 especially seemed to suddenly become uncomfortable and Goku was first to regain his ability to speak "Why Cell?"

Broly shrugs "Strategically speaking, he has a vast array of techniques. He will be invaluable to the team." Goku scratches his head "Can't argue with that I suppose." 18 stands right in front of Broly "I can! I won't fight alongside that monster! He ATE me!" Broly frowns "Look, I know you don't like the idea, or Cell, very much. But this is for the sake of our universe." 18 puts her hands on her hips "First I find out Goku lied about prize money, now you expect me to work with that monster. Forget this. I'm off the team, do it without me."

Beerus stands and walks over to 18 "No, your not going anywhere. I need you on this team. And you will work with Cell." 18 narrows her eyes "Or what?" Beerus raises his hand and Broly grabs his wrist "Seriously, you can't threaten to destroy people just because they disagree with you!" He turns to 18 "Look 18, this isn't about us! This is about them! Our families, our friends. All of the innocent people we have died for time and time again. Do it for your daughter, if for no one else." 18 sighs and looks over at Krillin, who gives her a reassuring smile "Whatever you decide, I'll be there to back you up." 18 turns to Broly "Fine, whatever. As long as I'm not stuck partnered with him I don't care."

Broly walks over to the whiteboard "Speaking of partners, I have our plan mapped out." Gohan grabs a marker "Well, me and the Supreme Kai put some thought into that. If we all group up near the center, we should be able to outlast the other universes. Controlling the middle is vital to-" Broly chuckles "That won't work and you know it. Second the tournament starts, everyone is going to split off to fight their own battles."

Gohan frowns "I would expect that from Vegeta and Father." Broly nods "So, different tactic. We should travel in unified pairs. Goten and Trunks, Krillin and 18, Vegeta and Kakarot, Piccolo and Cell-" Piccolo grunts "Why am I stuck with Cell? Why don't you go off and fight alongside him, he's your pet project after all." Broly takes a deep breath "Because you are a strategist as well, you two will be responsible for thinning out the numbers and targeting strategic fighters like yourselves." Piccolo folds his arms and looks away "Whatever."

Gohan turns to Broly "That leaves you and me." Broly nods "Precisely. I will be conserving my strength, and Gohan will aide me in establishing a meeting point. I had thought of leaving you and Piccolo in the center to watch over everything happening, but Piccolo doesn't know Instant Transmission, and this will come in handy for retrieving fighters who might fall off the stage. So, once you guys start getting winded and need a break, or if your partner ends up eliminated, meet up with Gohan and I and we can stand our ground there, in our established safe zone for rest and recuperation."

Everyone seems to nod in agreement and Broly stretches "Well, it's getting late. We need to be rested up for tomorrow. Good luck sleeping everyone." Broly waited until there was 12 more hours until the start of the tournament before going back to Hell to retrieve Cell. Once Cell is free from his cocoon he stretches his aching body and smirks "So, what's first?" Broly sighs "Well, I can't take you into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, at least, I'm not sure how that might work. So, I had another idea to make you powerful. I want you to draw power off of me."

Cell licks his lips "You sure about that? I'm afraid it might... sting a little." Broly smirks "I'm a big boy. Just keep in mind that if you start getting greedy I'll rip your tail off and strangle you with it." Cell smiles "Noted." His tail sticks into Broly's chest and Broly grunts "I'm surprised you could even pierce my skin." Cell goes wide eyed as he slowly draws power from Broly "This... this is almost too much for me to handle." Broly chuckles "Make it quick I'm starting to get a headache." Cell pulls back his tail and his body begins to glow, letting off a brilliant flash of light.

As the bright light fades, Cell clenches his fists and looks down at his perfect body. He was less bulky than Broly remembered him, most likely due to the god ki that flowed through his veins. His white aura lets off occasional sparks of red lightning. Other than this, he looked mostly unchanged. Broly smirks "Well well well, you look the same as you did the last time we fought. Though you look like you lost some weight." Cell looks up at Broly and smiles wide "Subtly is key." Broly smiles "So, you like it?" Cell clenches his fists and powers up "I LOVE IT!"

As the two leave Fortuneteller Baba's house, a large swarm of assassins await them. Cell looks up at the group as the leader flies closer "Hey, you guys. Come out here and fight us." Cell smiles "Blunt and to the point, I like it. But are you sure you know who you are picking a fight with?" The leader chuckles "We ain't afraid of you." Broly steps forward "So, who sent you?" The leader smirks "I can't tell you that. All I can tell you is we are here to make sure you don't make it to the tournament." Broly fires a ki blast at him, knocking him into the water below "Then you're useless to me." Cell grins "Time to test my new power."

Cell rockets across the surface of the water, flying up into the middle of the horde and letting off an explosive wave that vaporizes a dozen of them at once. Through the smoke Cell fires a barrage of ki blasts that home in on their victims and blast them apart. Broly chuckles as Cell butchers them, flying out of the cloud and cleaving them in half with vertical and horizontal kicks, all the while dodging their feeble attempts at counterattacking. Cell flies backwards and they tail him, grouping up and charging towards him. He eliminates the last of the assassins with one casual sweep of his hand, the ki wave vaporizing them.

Cell sighs contently, just as the leader flies up out of the water "We aren't done yet." He holds an orb of purple destruction ki in his hand "This orb of destructive ki was given to me by my employer. It will kill you, once and for all! So long to Universe 7 and their chances in this tournament!" He throws it at Cell and Cell easily blows it up with a beam of ki from his finger. The assassin goes wide eyed, then puts one hand out defensively "I... didn't mean anything by it." He throws an orb with his other hand "Ha, there is the real destruction orb!" Cell dodges it easily and it turns, flying towards his back. Cell turns towards it and stops it with one hand, crushing it "Is this the best you lot can do?"

The real purple orb of Destruction shoots up out of the water from below Cell. Cell goes wide eyed and tries to stop it but it consumes him easily. Cell yells out in anguish and the leader cheers, hands in the air "Be erased, pathetic fool!" Cell continues to yell out in anguish, his body beginning to break apart slightly. He clenches his fists and howls out in rage, the energy around him dispersing in a white tornado of ki. When the smoke clears Cell is visibly unharmed, and doesn't even appear to be slightly winded "I daresay that was fun. But I think our little game has ended." He hits the leader with a small ki blast and he forces the leader to float higher up in the air. He closes his fist and the leader dies in a fiery explosion. Broly floats up next to Cell "Are we ready to go now?" Cell grins "Oh yes."

Everyone stares at Cell as he walks over to the group of fighters. Goku walks over towards him "Cell." Cell smirks "Goku, it's been a while. Good to see you have been well. I can't wait for this tournament to be over, I believe I owe you a rematch." Gohan walks over next to Goku "First, you'll have to go through me." Cell folds his arms "All grown up, huh Gohan? And you are the spitting image of your father." Gohan growls "Cut the civil act Cell." Cell's arms rest at his side "Why? Don't we have to get along for the next 48 minutes? Can't show at least an ounce of gratitude that I agreed to join you group of pathetic losers?"

Gohan gets right in front of Cell, staring up at him "You're only doing this because you have a personal stake in this, I won't mistake you agreeing to help as being charity." Cell chuckles "Smart boy." Broly walks over and puts a hand on Gohan's chest "Back off Gohan. There will be time for bickering after we save the universe." Gohan exhales "I know..." Cell looks over at 18, giving her a knowing smile and 18 turns away from him. Krillin puts his hand on her arm and sighs "Let it go 18. This is for Marron." 18 nods and Broly stands in the middle of the group "I feel alot of tension. But don't forget that we are all working towards a common goal. Saving our universe."

When the time to leave comes, they all gather in a circle and appear in the middle of the massive arena Grand Priest had constructed. A few of the Gods of Destruction are busy at work repairing it, with a few universes having already arrived. Broly turns and sees two universe 6 Saiyans, Caulifla and Kale, making their way towards them. Caulifla grins "So, you're Hope's old man, eh? Where is she? Played hooky because she was afraid of the beating we are going to be dishing out today?" Broly chuckles "You must be Caulifla. I'll enjoy taking you down a peg when we meet in the ring."

Caulifla puts her hands on her hips "Yeah, well you can thank your daughter for the beating I'm going to be giving you, she helped train me after all." Hit walks over "Where is Hope?" Broly smirks "I dunno, outside of the 12 universes, out of the way of this mess." Hit nods "That's good. I didn't want to have to eliminate her." Broly chuckles "Getting sentimental?" Hit chuckles "Hardly. But considering how well she knows my abilities, she would prove to be problematic."

There is a bright flash and everyone is awe struck as Universe 11 appears. Broly felt an unexplainable level of power amongst them, and he locks eyes with Jiren for the first time. Goku makes his way over towards Toppo "Hey Toppo! Hey, is that Jiren." Jiren appears behind Goku, catching him off guard "Go away." Goku turns to him "I didn't even see you move..." With the universes assembled they speed up the repair process, and they are stuck playing the most dangerous game of dodge. After the ring is set the pillar in the middle clicks into place and Grand Priest raises his hand "Begin!"
