Up on Kami's Lookout, Noon,
The entire group were relieved that Yamcha had managed to arrive just in time to save the cyborg, and was now facing the amalgamated freak made of their DNA. The man had exited around the early hours of the morning, close to mid-day, and had forced Piccolo to change his attire to his exact description, which took nearly ten minutes for the Namekian to do. When the human exited the time chamber, he carried an extremely smug attitude with him as he strode like a Chad across the Lookout and condescended over the Saiyans, with extreme cases being Raditz and Vegeta, who grumbled angrily and looked away.
Right now the group were extremely focused at the occurrences down below on Earth, where the scar-faced former bandit was about to face off against Cell. This was the fight that could determine whether or not Cell would hold his end of the bargain that he made with Goku, or he would die to Yamcha, though they thought of that being highly unlikely considering his track record.
"So do you think that he stands a chance?" the burly Saiyan asked the rest of the group while standing at the edge of the lookout with the Namekian warrior on his left and the three-eyed, bald human on his left and the spiky-haired Saiyan in the red spandex standing next to the Namekian from the Warrior Clan. All four of them were looking down to try to see what was going down on the planet itself while crossing their arms in front of their chests and were standing stoically waiting and anticipating.
"I don't know." Piccolo said as he was sweating buckets as he was seeing everything down below the lookout, especially where the fight was taking place with the ability that he had learned long ago from being the "evil" half of the guardian of the planet. "We all felt how powerful he was after he left the time chamber, but we don't know if he was holding back or not. Sure, he was vastly superior to all of you as Super Saiyans and to me when I use Kaioken times 20, but so is Semi-Perfect Cell." the Namekian spoke with extreme caution, not wanting to start hoping just in case that Yamcha had not surpassed Cell.
The flame-haired prince scoffed as he sat on the edge of the lookout with his legs crossed and his arms folded in front of his chest, raising his head high and staying as far away from the rest of the group. "Of course he'll fuck up and lose! He's a mere human. He also wasted time by going to visit the woman in Capsule Corp. for some unfathomable reason, when he should have directly went to intercept Cell. If I was there, it would have been a completely different story." the Saiyan elite proclaimed as he looked down with a sour expression on his face, his glare pointed beyond the clouds beneath the palace of Earth's guardian.
Bryco smirked cockily as he glanced aside to his former boss. "Oh please, if you would have gone into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and gone to fight Cell first, he either would have already become perfect or just play to your ego like a fiddle to allow him to absorb the cyborg and become perfect. Either way that claim you just made would be completely false and utter bullshit." the man condescendingly insulted the shorter warrior and waved away his claim from just a second ago.
This made Vegeta's blood boil as he stood up angrily with a vein throbbing and bulging on his forehead. "AS IF! If anything, if you would have gone first, he would have made you look like a fool by playing on your idiotic sense of honor to allow him to absorb that arrogant scrap pile of junk and become perfect!" the prince of all Saiyans shouted angrily as he retorted with a conclusion of his own to insult his supposed "ally" and his sense of honor.
This caused the tallest Saiyan's fuse to burn, as he immediate walked over to the prince and grabbed him by the collar of his blue spandex. "What did you call my sense of honor, you backstabber?!" he inquired angrily as both of them were extremely confrontational and prepared to fight one another.
Piccolo snarled with agitation as he uncrossed his hands and prepared to use the Kaioken to separate the two in case a fight between them started once again. Raditz merely pinched the bridge of his nose as he himself growled at the sight of the two arguing Saiyans. He wanted to transform and knock them both out, but he cared more about Yamcha's fight to save their lives than these two acting on their pride.
Behind the two the female Saiyan showed an uncharacteristically amount of joy at the sight of the two arguing and probably preparing to fight. She then grabbed and snuggled her short human boyfriend against her chest with a huge amount of thrill and excitement in her body language. "Look, Krilly-Billy, a fight!" she said with child like enthusiasm as she then dropped the short, bold fighter and entered a fighting stance. "I wanna join!" she declared as she powered up by unleashing whatever of her potential that she could.
Krillin immediately rubbed his head as he got up and grabbed the mother of his daughter by the arm. "No, we have plenty of other things to focus on." he chastised her for her behavior, as a second after he spoke he rubbed his butt a little, as he still felt how he hit the ground. "Like Yamcha's fight." he emphasized as he also looked at the two elite Saiyans, who completely ignored him while snarling at each other.
The guardian of the planet was also on another edge of the lookout, as he looked down with concern as he was sweating buckets while tightening the grip on his staff. 'Yamcha...please, the entire planet is at stake. You have to defeat him. If you can't with your your mastery over your Burst Limit, will Goku be capable of defeating Cell?' he thought to himself, prayed that the human could be trusted with defeating the amalgamated terror that made the planet its playground. Right now the former desert bandit was their best bet against said amalgamated creature.
Kami's attendant looked at his best friend and master with concern in his eyes. 'Kami, no matter how desperate things get, please don't give up your soul and fuse with your other half.' the djinn thought to himself as he kept his eyes focused at the guardian of Earth with extreme focus, not moving at all.
[Musical Cue #1: Opening- Chase by batta]
"RAAGH!" Cell charged at the confident human, cocking back his right arm and shouting at the top of his lungs as he came in for the kill, not caring for the human and wanting to focus entirely on the cyborg. When he was about the reach the turtle school disciple, he saw said disciple merely giving him a confident grin as he was not moving, constantly staying in the passive stance of the Wolf Fang Fist.
"Are you going to speed up? Because right now you're incredibly slow." the bearded human mocked the creation of Dr. Gero and Dr. Wheelo as he grinned cockily and prepared himself for the full frontal attack from his foe.
Cell growled and snarled from the insult as he unleashed his thundering punch at the human with enough force to form a gigantic tornado that span like a turrent into the water, then rising upwards and creating an even larger and more powerful hurricane. Unfrortunately, the wind passed through the man, meaning that he used the afterimage technique to escape the powerful punch, much to Cell's shock.
"No, I attacked at full speed, yet I couldn't see him dodge or use the afterimage technique? Just how strong did he become inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?" the monstrous being asked himself aloud as he started to look around, but..."ARGH!" he screamed in pain as a sudden air blast ripped out his arms out of his sockets and sent them falling down like rockets towards the island he was crashed into before, followed by each of his legs being ripped appart by air blasts that appeared out of nowhere. Blood poured out of the stumps as the monstrous creature could only scream in agony over the immense pain.
"I don't think you really get it." the voice of the human echoed in the sky as the semi-perfect being was dented by a barrage of invisible hits across his entire upper body, from the groin area, stomach and torso, making him spew a large amount of purple blood as he gawked in pain and lack of air. An instant later, he was hammered across the back with the exact same amount of invisible blows, causing him to once more puke some purple blood into the waters below. Finally, the hurricane formed by his punch exploded in a powerful shockwave. With a large amount of water dripping from the sky like rain, the monster saw his foe floating just a little bit over the surface of the sea with his body completely relaxed, not even in a combat stance.
"It's not just the Hyperbolic Time Chamber that made me stronger. It's my tenacity, willpower, my goal and my complete mastery over my Burst Limit form that had taken me beyond anything I could ever imagine. The fact that I have silver hair and red eyes instead of a regular, super buff body shows this mastery over Burst Limit and reaching its full potential. You can call this "Full Mastered Burst Limit" or "Mastered Burst Limit" if you want. Either way, I have complete 100% of the form's power and I can use as much of it as I want with barely any strain on my body, unlike the Kaioken technique." the Super Human explained as much as he possibly could about his new power, as if he was gloating in front of his adversary.
Cell spat out as he quickly regenerated his lost limbs and angrily clenched his hands into fists. "And why the hell are you telling me all of this?! Are you underestimating me!? YOU?! The absolute fucking joke of the entire bunch?! The clown?!" he inquired with unbridled fury as his power started to quickly rise up and the planet started to shake, creating large enough wave to drench the human fighter in water. This made him quickly rise up to the same altitude as his foe. He quickly flared up his aura, drying up his clothes in an instant as steam covered his entire frame.
"Yeah, a bit. I know that I can beat you, but I want to savor it. I mean, it's not every day that you can be the big hero to save the planet, am I right?" he asked with an overwhelming feeling of confidence and bravado as he flexed the muscles of his left arm and gave a cocky smirk, which had teeth so white that and pristine that the light reflected of it to blind the amalgamated monster with its brilliance.
Growling and snarling even more from being blinded, Semi-Perfect Cell roared at the top of his lungs as his muscles bulge slightly and even got a slight increase in size, but not a major one. What did get a major increase was his power level, as a golden aura flared around his frame like wildfire and the entire planet shook violently as he released powerful winds across the entire area, forcing Lapis to fly down to the island beneath and hide behind a large boulder to protect himself from the fight.
"Geez, how crazy can things get?" the black-haired teen asked aloud as he covered his head. "At times like these I'm glad those old bastards didn't install a ki sensor in my mind, otherwise my head would explode right now." he kept talking to himself as the boulder he hid behind was lifted up into the sky and crumbled into dust, with the black-haired teen looking with wide eyes at the site. "...Shit. Time to find another rock to hide behind." he said as he started dashing across the ground of the island.
After a few more seconds, Cell stopped powering up as more there was a brilliant golden hue around his frame, looking like the golden wildfire aura of Super Saiyan more than anything else. He smirked with his ugly, noseless face, with his fish lips being the most prevelent on his ugly mug. He panted heavily as he was sweating buckets from the effort, but he was still smirking with an incredible amount of confidence, now assured of his victory.
"You think you can Chad around me like that without some divine retribution? Making jokes at my expense?" he inquired with a gigantic smirk on his face. "Now you will suffer the punishment, Yamcha. I will show you how much of a virgin joke you are, while I, the ultimate lifeform, is the ultimate chad." he chuckled as his body slowly relaxed himself from all the intense powering up that he did to reach his full power.
Yamcha simply crossed his arms in front of his chest while having a soft expression and a small smirk on his face. "Is that your full power? That's pretty funny. You make an excellent comedian." he said with a completely unthreatened and mocking tone to his voice as he just looked completely relaxed, showing no amount of seriousness to the situation whatsoever.
This made the semi-perfect creature to scowl and growl once more at the sight of such disrespect. "Oh really, is that what you think?" he started talking as he cupped both of his hands together, before bringing them to the side of his right waist. "Then here's another joke on the house, just for your taste of comedy: you getting past the Quarter Finals of the Tenkaichi Budokai! KAMEHAMEHA!" he insulted the man's winning streak as he launched a gigantic azure beam towards him, unleashing all of his power into the Turtle Destructive Wave that was the distinct technique of the Turtle School of Martial Arts.
The scar-faced bandit scowled at the insult as he lowered both of his arms at the incoming Kamehameha wave. "Okay, now that was uncalled for." he said as he then raised his arms, his palms were facing the incoming ki wave in a particular unique manner. Sure enough, a few seconds after the powerful azure wave hit its mark, it was completely dispersed into the four winds, the energy completely disappearing, much to the shock of the disgusting ultimate lifeform. He then started to shake as he realized what had just happened. "No...not you to. How do you even know this technique?" he inquired as he remembered Android #16 performing the same technique when he fought the imperfect him.
The man let his arm slump down with an exasperated sigh as he had a disappointed expression on his face. "Really man?" he asked with his exasperated and annoyed tone to his voice. "I was the one Tien used the technique on 14 years ago. Do you really think I wouldn't try to at least try and master it while training with him for so long?" he asked as he raised his arms in his Wolf Style stance and charged at his foe.
In an instant he closed the gap, much to the shock of Semi-Perfect Cell and with a movement of his left arm with a clawing motion of his unique martial arts style, he flayed and cut the left arm of the amalgamated creature into at least several layers of meat and skin, causing blood to spray everywhere as claw mark appeared on the left side of Cell's face, with blood also spraying now out of his face. Those quick slashes, loss of arm and massive amount of blood caused him to howl in pain as he held the stump of his left arm as the Super Human was now a few meters away from him with his back turned to Cell.
This surprised the monster as he quickly regenerated his left arm and the missing flesh on his left side of his face. "How did you get behind me just now? You were just here floating still while slashing my arm and face." he inquired from his human opponent as he groaned in pain and tried to turn around, only to receive a powerful knee strike that slammed with the force of a sledgehammer into the center of his face with a loud "POW!" sound echoing in the air as kinetic vibrations were sent across his entire body.
Continuing with his assault, the man then flipped over his foe. His fingers glowed with ki and extended to look like claws and with a single downward motion of his hands, ten large slashes appeared on the back of the amalgamated monster, making him howl in agony once more as large amount of blood spilled out of the cuts and flew everywhere. Not wanting to slow down, the human smirked as with another slashing motion, his claws carved through the tail of his monstrous adversary, causing large amount of blood to explode out of the stump like a geyser of blood. Another howl of pain escaped the mouth of the monster, tears coming out of his eyes.
"What's wrong, Cell? A bit chewed up? Don't worry, wolves do that a lot." Yamcha mocked and joked around as he used the afterimage technique to appear in front of his foe once again, slashing him once again but this time slashing him across the chest, creating a large "X" mark across his entire upper body, with blood spilling everywhere, except on the human who caused the injuries, as he used afterimage to evade even the drops of blood until he was about three meters away from his foe. "Sorry, but this outfit is new and I don't want to dirty it with your blood. I need to look heroic and fashionable when I kill you." he boasted and took the entire situation lightheartedly as his foe was in constant pain over the lightning-quick assault.
Semi-Perfect Cell growled and snarled as he regenerated all of his injuries and regrew his tail back, but he then flew down towards the island, trying to retreat from the human. "I won't just be a standing target for you to hit, you bastard!" he screamed as he quickly flew to the island, landing slowly and gracefully with a slow and delicate "tap" sound echoing just slightly. Now on the small and remote island, he started to look around. 'All right, I know Seventeen landed somewhere on this island. Now I just have to find him under Yamcha's nose and achieve perfection. Then I will have my vengeance.' he thought to himself as a looked around, imagining his perfection and the look on horror on the human's face as he dies.
Suddenly he felt a powerful and small object hit the back of his head, sending him flying into a plateau with a big "BOOM!" sound echoed as the entire planet shook violently, more violent than even Cell's power up from earlier. The plateau crumbled over the bug monster that was slammed into it as from where the small object flew towards the monster Yamcha tossing up small pebbles into the air and catching them without breaking a sweat. Dozens went up into the air and all landed in the exact area of his palm, all filled with concentrated amount of ki around them to increase their potency and power.
"See, even with small pebbles you're nothing to me. Why don't you just stop with the games and just give up? It will make your demise quicker and less painful. I promise." he said with a condescending tone to the monstrous being, as if he was a parent talking to his child.
This immediately caused the entire island to shake as the collapsed rubble exploded with a giant pillar of golden ki erupting from it, with Cell instantly coming out of it, furious with half of his head gone. He regrew whatever part of his head that he lost, all the while panting heavily from the huge exhaustion of energy that he used to regenerate from all of the attacks thus far. "TAKE YOUR PROMISES AND SHOVE THEM UP YOUR ASS!" he roared with incredible fury as he stretched both his arms to the side in a similar fashion to Vegeta's Final Flash, but it was definitely different in some way, as large balls of white ki formed in his palms.
Yamcha jokingly cringed at the insult from his foe. "Ooh. You kiss your mother with that mouth? And those lips?" he asked mockingly as he insulted the monster over his hissy fit and disgusting appearance.
This brought another furious roar from his adversary, who slammed both palms together and shifted the position of the palms into open palms as his blood shout eyes widened and he ground his own teeth into dust from his sheer rage. "FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU AND DIE! WHOLE WEEK NOVAAAAAA!" he screamed the name of Raditz's most powerful technique at the top of his lungs that was used the force back Cooler's Supernova three years ago, and a gigantic beam of white ki expanded and advanced towards the Mastered Burst Limit user with the same power and speed of a Final Flash, if it was used by a much more powerful user of course.
This made the silver-haired, red-eyed man to actually look concerned while farther away Lapis saw the beam and jumped into the water. The beam quickly advanced towards Yamcha, atomizing most of the area of the island between it and the human warrior it was heading towards. "Oh ho, better stop this before it does actual damage to the planet." he said as he raised his right arm above his head with its fingers slightly curved in like in his regular Wolf Style stance, while also lowering his left hand which also had its fingers clenched slightly, ki claws still glowing.
He suddenly charged towards the Whole Week Nova as blue ki formed around his right and left arms, shaping itself into the shape of a wolf's head with its maw open and ready to take a very large bite. "Wolf Fang Bite!" he shouted as suddenly his speed accelerated and he disappeared as a blur while dashing forward into the giant beam and slammed his right palm and his left palm together parallel to the center of his chest, with the wolf head taking its grand bite. The results of the attack were astounding, as the gigantic beam was split in half before dissipating, and with the human carving a gigantic hole in the right side of his foe as he passed him, atomizing the monster's left arm, shoulder and the left half of his torso, much to Cell's shock.
The creation of Dr. Gero and Dr. Wheelo puked a large amount of blood as he fell on one knee on while standing on what little remained of the island, with the area that the Mastered Burst Limit user stood on was also now a smaller island. With a pained scream coming out of his throat, he regenerated and regrew what had just been utterly torn from his body with such force that was beyond anything that he could generate. He knew that despite massively holding back at the moment, the Super Human was way too far beyond the level he was at right now. He had to do something and do it fast.
'Damn you, Tien. Damn you! This is all your fault! Because of you I'm not perfect! Because of you I'm going to die to the weakest loser of the pact of that stupid, annoying gang! Because of you-' he thought to himself as he furiously blamed the tri-clops for stalling him with the Shin Tentai Kikoho long enough for Seventeen to escape and stopping his ascension to becoming the ultimate life form. However, mid rant, he remembered something about the three-eyed human, something that managed to change his entire mood. '...I'm going to attain perfection.' he thought to himself as a gigantic, smug smirk of satisfaction formed on his gigantic lips as he got back up, fully regenerated.
[Musical Cue #2: Legacy of Goku II OST Tropical Islands]
He suddenly heard the "SWOOSH!" of water spreading away from a center in wave-like motion, causing him to turn around to see the bearded human looking far more serious than before. "Alright, you're getting a little desperate now, so I'd rather kill you before you do something really extreme." he declared as he charged ki in his right hand.
Acting quickly as he was sweating buckets, the semi-perfect being immediately blasted the ground beneath his feet with a small ki blast, which created a large explosion of dust and wind that caused waves to fly towards the silver-haired human, who was caught off guard to the point that he stopped charging the energy in his hand, letting it disperse as he crossed his arm in an "X" guard and closed his eyes so that the wave wouldn't bring dust and water into his eyes.
From behind him Cell quickly appeared with his tail swirling and his stinger aimed at the body of the human. He released a tail stab towards his adversary, but said adversary quickly floated over the tail while spinning in the air towards Cell, much to the monster's surprise. "Oh shit, I forgot that you can still sense where I am." he said with realization as he sweated bucks with fear in his eyes as the human span towards his position with his eyes closed.
"That's right!" Yamcha shouted as he stopped spinning and extended his leg so that his left foot crashed into the face of the amalgamated creature while he opened his eyes. "You should remember how useful this skill is!" he shouted as he pushed his leg further into the face of his opponent and sent the monster flying with enough force to break the sonic barrier. He then tried to continue his assault against his foe, but the amalgamated monster disappeared using the afterimage technique and to get away from his silver-haired opponent, causing said silver-haired man to stop in the air and look around.
The monster appeared behind him once again with both his hands raised above his head, ready to smash a double-ax hammer onto the head of the Super Human, but said Super Human glanced backwards and slammed the back of his head into the face of the creature, before spinning and delivering a thunderous roundhouse spin kick to his foe, sending him flying so fast that he immediately crashed into a plateau of another island, creating a large explosion that shook the planet and raised so much dust that it created a gigantic mushroom cloud, which Lapis could see from far away as he raised his head out from underneath the water.
Yamcha quickly flew to the island where he kicked Cell to, reaching to it in mere moments. He landed on the rocky terrain as he crossed his arms in front of his chest and smirked with satisfaction as his long silver hair and beard were moving from the wind. He looked down as he saw the monster removing a giant boulder from him and got up, panting heavily while sweating buckets and snarling with fury and frustration.
With a roar, Cell released a powerful shockwave that blew apart everything around him except for the ground of the island. All hills, plants, trees, plateaus and anything that wasn't at the same height as the ground of the island was blasted away in a powerful gust of air that threw it in every direction. When the powerful air wave hit the human, it was merely a weak gust of wind that flapped his clothes slightly and pushed back his hair and beard.
Not yet finished with releasing his frustrations, Cell put his right hand over his left and brought both hands next to his left temple as he ground his teeth and snarled at his foe again. "Galick Gun...FIREEEE!" he roared as he released gigantic beam canon of purple energy at the Z-Fighter, who just smirked and extended his left hand forward, shifting the angle of his palm that it would face both forward and upward. When the beam crashed against the palm, the direction of the Galick Gun shifted upwards the sky, much to the horror of the creature.
Quickly changing his expression to try and look tough, the amalgamated semi-perfect being charged at his opponent, cocking back his fist in order to send his most powerful punch. He quickly closed the gap, but the human seemed completely unconcerned at any point. The fist was launched, but Yamcha easily sidestepped it and slammed a mighty backhand that sent the amalgamated monster flying into the ground so hand that his body was digging a gigantic trench into it for at least 12 meters before stopping dead in its tracks.
Not giving up, Cell flew out of the trench and charged right back again, this time sending a barrage of punches and kicks at his foe, who casually dodged each and everyone of them without even retaliating, pissing off Cell more and more as he failed to do anything to his opponent. "This isn't fair! I'm supposed to be perfect! Just let me become perfect and then we'll fight!" the monster requested as he ranted furiously at his adversary while he kept throwing attacks at the human, who's expression then turned serious.
Yamcha finally retaliated by slamming a crushing knee strike into the semi-perfect life form's stomach with enough power to shatter his stomach and blast the semi-perfect life form into two, with both halves of his body falling down to the ground. Yamcha then blasted the lower half of his foe with a regular ki blast before walking towards the upper half, which was lying on the ground about 5 meters away from the other half, face facing up.
"Did you think that trying to talk me into letting you absorb the cyborg for a fight would actually work on me? Who the hell do you think I am, VEGETA?!" the human asked furiously as his silver-red aura erupted around him and the defender of Earth seemed like he was finally losing his cool as he slowly took his steps towards the upper half. "I have spend a year in the time chamber to become stronger, remembering my family, my friends and my planet to stop myself from going insane. I did all of that so that I could protect that planet! And now think I would let you endanger everything I worked for?! Well that's not how it works with humans! So sayona-" he ranted at the monster over his motives as his pace hasten and he charged energy in his palms. However, when he finally stood over the monster's top half, he cut himself mid-sentence as he was shocked from the diamond-shaped symbol that the monster was doing with his hands.
"KIKOHO!" Cell shouted at the top of his lungs, causing a gigantic pillar of ki to erupt and blast the Full Power Burst Limit user into the sky with incredible force, giving Cell some breathing room as he took his time to regenerated, showing that he was starting to grow low on reserves from the big attacks and constant regeneration that he had to perform from all the damage that he took from Yamcha's beatings. He got up and instantly fell onto one knee as he started to cough as well, spewing purple blood all over the ground.
[End Musical Cue #2]
'Shit, I'm in a tight stop. I can't beat him and the Kikoho barely gave me a bit of time before he comes back. I got to find Seventeen and achieve perfection before that joke of a fighter gets his chance to kill me.' he thought to himself as he strained himself to get up once more. He then looked around to see if he could find the mechanical being that he called a sibling, but he was having little luck. 'I guess I have to lay low for now. Gain back some strength. Better drink some water to do so.' he thought to himself yet again as he staggered towards the sea and jumping into it without hesitation.
Up in the sky, the ki cannon was flying as fast as light and the human managed to move himself out of the force of the attack before it could carry him out to the atmosphere of the planet. He was also looking slightly worse for wear now, as smoke was coming out of his body as well as having several burn marks across his body. Along with that, half of his top had been completely atomized, revealing half of his chest, allowing him to feel the cold wind against his skin, which caused him to shake. To protected himself from the cold, he ignited his aura around his body.
"Tsk." he clicked his tongue angrily as he rubbed the slightly burned areas on his skin. "I can't believe that he had become so desperate as to use the Kikoho. I have to get down there before he finds the cyborg." he said to himself aloud as he flew down towards where he was just blasted from. 'I had to go from 35% to 50% in order to protect myself from a massive amount of damage, but even then I was slightly burned. I can't believe how much I underestimated the Kikoho's raw power. It's a good thing that I returned my power output to 35%, otherwise I might have tipped Cell off to my true level of power.' he thought to himself as he continued his flight to the ground.
It took him about three seconds to reach down and land on the island, his feet making a small "tap" sound as they touched the ground beneath them. He closed his eyes as he tried to pick up his adversary's ki signature, but it was no use. He then entered a stance, preparing for whatever assault the amalgamated creature was preparing for him as he opened up his eyes, ears, nose and ki sense, pushing all of these senses to their maximum as he tried to find any trace or locate where the monstrous being was. However, no matter how long he stood and tensed his body, no matter how many minutes he waited like that, Cell's power, scent or any other sign of him was gone.
Finally, after finishing a waiting period of seven minutes, the man allowed his body to relax as he fell on his butt and took a deep breath and sighed. "I know Cell is still around here, but he won't attack me anymore. He knows he can't win." he spoke with a slightly tired voice, despite not being physically fatigue at any way. He had barely used any of his ki for actual big attacks, so he was in a very good shape in comparison to his adversary.
At this point he heard a "tap" sound behind him, causing him to alarm and quickly get up and enter a fighting stance, only to see the black-haired teen immediately raising his hands and shaking them. "Woah, whoa whoa bud, I don't wanna fight." he said as he tried to not get on the man's bad side, kind of seeing what he did to Cell during the fight. "I don't want to fight you and your friends anymore and I don't want to kill Goku anymore. Can we just...you know, make up and be friends or something like that?" he asked with a concerned and slightly fearful tone to his voice as he took several steps back.
The silver-haired human merely smirked as he relaxed and just stood with his hands crossed in front of his chest in front of the young cyborg. He gave him a serious glare while raising an eyebrow, causing the young man to sweat and gulp nervously as he looked into the man's eyes. Then the defender of Earth gave him a cocky smirk as his hair and beard lost their silver color and returned to being black, while his pupils lost their red color and returned to their black color. He then extended his hand. "Sure kid, I think that we can leave our previous fight in the past, where it belongs." he said as he was now completely relaxed and chill.
Lapis nervously gulped again as he slowly extended his own hand before shaking the hand of the man in front of him. He released a sigh of relief as he finally felt safe, knowing that the Z-Fighter had no interest in killing him.
Suddenly there was a giant burst of water coming from the sea, as the amalgamated creation of Dr. Gero and Dr. Wheelo burst out of the water with a golden aura flaring around him before dissipating, allowing the steam of the boiled water to flow into the air. "I'm back, and I drained plenty of sea life to gain plenty of energy!" he declared as he flew up towards the sky, before stopping high enough so that the two figures would be as small as insects in his eyes. "From here I see things as how they should be: everything is an insect but me!" he roared with renewed confidence as he started to delve into a fit a fit of evil laughter.
The human immediately entered a stance as his hair and beard turned silver and his eyes turned red, allowing him again access to his Mastered Burst Limit form, without an aura even flaring around his frame. "Want to say that when you're closer to my face, ugly?" he taunted the creature with a smug tone to his voice as he started to float upward slowly and arrogantly, assured that there was nothing to worry about the situation.
Cell smirked at this, and immediately he turned tail and flew upward even more than before, much to the surprise and anger of the human, who quickly started to chase him. "You think you're so funny, right Yamcha? Feeling so goddamn smug when you got power to back it up? Well I am about to achieve perfection, and then we'll see how goddamn smug you are, you motherfucker!" he shouted as he kept flying higher and higher, bursting through clouds fast enough to send them across the four winds, leaving the sky across the archipelago completely clear and without any clouds.
The silver-haired defender of the planet simply smirked with confidence. "Those are some bold words from someone who's about to die." he said as he suddenly stopped in the air and cupped both of his hands and put them next to the left side of his waist. "Thanks for also completely clearing the sky for me, you moron. Now aside from this blinding sun, I have a complete view of you to finally rid the world of you and becoming a hero." he boasted as he started to charge a tiny bit of energy into the space between the cupped hands.
Cell, when he was finally incredibly high in the sky, turned around to see a small twinkle beneath him. He could barely see his human foe anymore, but by using his ki sense and his enhanced hearing to hear every word that the human said allowed him to realize immediately what he was doing, causing him to grin. "Well then...GIVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT, AND I'LL SHOW YOU THAT YOUR ATTACK IS AS MUCH OF A JOKE AS YOU ARE!" he taunted the man with a gigantic grin of confidence on his face, preparing himself for the attack that is to come.
"KA..." Yamcha started to chant as a small glimmer of azure ki started to grow in between his hands.
"ME..." he continued to chant as the ball filled the space between his hands, radiating with pulsing blue light and plasma as winds started to rage heavily around him, lifting his silver and beard slightly.
"HA...ME..." he continued to chant as the entire area around him changed its color to azure, from the sky, to the land and even the ocean. Even the man's body's color was overwhelmed by the might of the Turtle Destruction Wave charged in between his cupped hands as his entire body was seemingly looked like a azure silhouette.
Cell merely laughed manically, letting his evil laugh echo in the sky. "That's it, show me what your Kamehameha has to offer. Try to prove that you are not some waste of space loser. I will show you why you will fail to do so, why you shall always remain that weakling, idiotic joke with no victories under his name, only humiliating defeats." the monster kept on taunting, bringing out the anger out of his foe, finally getting under his skin, which was visible on the human's furious expressions.
Growling and snarling with being reminded of his defeats, Yamha extended his arms forward. "HAAA!" he howled at the top of his lungs like a wolf as a gigantic azure beam blasted out of his hands and towards the amalgamated monster that was floating high above him in the sky, far higher than any mountain can reach, higher than any plain or helicopter can fly.
The beam headed towards Cell very, very quickly, but the obviously inferior monster kept on smiling as he extended his arms forward with his palms facing the incoming wave. He then started to glow with a faint layer of pink energy covering his muscular form as he seemed to strain himself heavily as every muscle in his arms, neck and forehead bulged and throbbed rapidly. The faint glow of pink started to move around from the entire body, flowing itself more and more into the palms of the amalgamated monster as the beam was almost upon him.
"RRRRGGHHHAAAA!" the bio-mechanical monster roared and howled with extreme effort as he shifted and moved his palms slowly while the faint pink glow of energy then appeared around the Kamehameha, which the silver-haired defender of Earth didn't notice at all. With once last shout, Cell made a sharp move with his arms and the entire trajectory of the giant beam changed, doing a half-circular move which caused it to head towards its user, much to said user's shock, to the point that his expression showed fear in his eyes.
Cell laughed maniacally as the beam headed towards his foe. "Did you forgot I have the DNA of Cooler and King Cold?! I can survive in space and have high level telekinesis! Now let's see how you deal with your Kamehameha, loser! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!" he taunted his foe once more as he once more flew upwards, charging ki in his hands for two more attacks.
Meanwhile, Yamcha panicked as he saw his own attack coming at him with all of the power he had put behind it. He couldn't allow it to hit him, otherwise he would be injured to a heavy degree that would give Cell the victory. He couldn't let Cell win. He took a few nanoseconds to calm his nerves as his expression turned serious as he raised his hands to meet the beam. When it hit his palms, he struggled a bit. Even if he had stopped the aspect of giving energy to the beam, the fact that it was still active was amazing, and the power behind it was also incredible. However, he knew what he was doing and without another second he dispersed the attack using the Crane School's technique that was used against him 14 years ago.
"Big Bang Attack! Monday Bomb!" the human suddenly heard his opponent yell, causing him to look up to see a blue orb and a pink orb of ki, but no sign of the creature that he just threw them at him. Growling with frustration and irritation, the Super Human extended both hands forward, each palm ready to catch the orb in each palm and squash them into nothing.
'That's it. I'm finishing him now!' Yamcha thought to himself as he nonchalantly catches the Big Bang Attack in his left palm, not showing any kind of concern as he prepared to do the same thing to the Monday Bomb. However, when the large sphere of ki touched his skin, it immediately detonated, catching Yamcha completely off guard and detonating the Big Bang Attack. The detonation caused the forming of two gigantic domes of ki and blue-pink light, coloring the entire horizon with their colors while its entire destructive force was engulfing the Full Powered Burst Limit user.
On the island down below, Lapis saw the two explosions engulfing the human, but he was hardly worried about whether Son Goku's friend was injured or not, because there was a feeling inside him that told him that the human could win and destroy Cell. He watched carefuly and squinted with extreme focus on the blasts as he clenched his hands into fists harshly. "I believe you can destroy him. I want to see the bastard die with my own eyes for what he did to sis. For what he did to my brother as well. Make him pay." he spoke with a vengeful tone to his voice as he stood like a statue on the island.
Winds howled and stormed from the power as the entire planet shook violently, with even a bit of debris rising to the air, but then it quickly disappeared as the light dimmed and the energy of the explosions was carried across the four winds. It had lasted for about twenty seconds, but the violent shaking across the planet took several more seconds to die down completely, leaving a gigantic cloud of smoke.
The giant cloud of smoke quickly dispersed as the bearded human's aura erupted around his frame, releasing a powerful current of air as he looked around angrily, though completely unharmed by both attacks, with only the slightly singed skin from the Kikoho being the only signs of damage that had suffered during the scuffle with the semi-perfect life form. "Okay, this is the last straw! Show yourself Cell and face death!" he screamed with anger filling his voice, causing his aura to flare and burn like wildfire.
"No, the only thing I will face is perfection!" Cell shouted with confidence in his voice, allowing the human to immediately locate him, but it too late to stop him, as Yamcha was now looking up, barely seeing anything as his eyes were directly looking at the direction of the sun. His face filled with terror as realization filled his expression of what exactly Cell had decided to do. "SOLAR FLARE!" the amalgamated creature shouted at the top of his lungs as blinding white light blasted down across the entire horizon, blinding both the silver-haired defender of Earth and the black-haired cyborg who looked up from the flattened island.
"AHH!" the Z-Fighter wailed in pain as he covered his eyes, trying to focus his ki sense to locate Cell's ki signature, but the pain overwhelmed his mind, which made him basically useless in stopping Cell now, who was quickly flying and bypassing the fighter, his eyes thirstily looking at the flatten island, where he had managed to see his cybernetic brother, who was also blinded, walking blindly with his hands over his eyes. "Finally, I have you out in the open Seventeen. No one can save you now." he spoke as he flew as fast as he could to the island.
It took the monstrous being only seconds to land on the island with enough force to cause a large explosion that shook the entire island. The teenage machine heard the noise and turned around to where he heard the noise, but a second later he was immediately doomed. Cell charged out of the cloud of dust and debris towards the teenage machine, who didn't even had his guard up, and launched his tail like a spear, piercing the young man through the stomach, with half the tail even coming out of the other side, through the back, just like it did with the blonde female cyborg.
Blood spilled everywhere and covered the tail as Lapis twitched and made short, choked groans from the incredible pain that he was feeling. A fatal wound at the hands of the monstrous being who took away his sister. The other half of the tail that came out of the back of Lapis opened up from the stinger and peeled back inside out, spilling out pools of his own blood along with internal organs that belonged to human, Namekians, Saiyans and Arcosian. The skin peeled back with the inner flesh being the outside layer, finally forming a cocoon of flesh around the two mechanical beings, hardening and sending a powerful shockwave.

There was a gigantic rise in ki in which the human immediately felt after a minute of being completely blinded by the Solar Flare. When his vision finally returned to him, he turned and looked down and his eyes widened with terror. "NOOO!" he screamed loudly with distraught in his voice as he flew down.
It took him a second to see the flesh cocoon. Frowning and growling, he charged forward, cocking back his fist, preparing to punch the thing into oblivion. He reached the giant sack and powered up to 50% of the full power of the Full Power Burst Limit and slammed a thunderous punch at the thing. However, it seemed as if the fist was stopped by an invisible force field, causing the body of the silver-bearded human to tremble for a few seconds, immediately launching him backwards with incredible force.
Yamcha flew over the ocean, but he quickly regained his barrings and charged straight once more, this time creating a large sphere of ki around his fist. Within seconds he had managed to reach to the cocoon once more and sent his fist towards it, once again being stopped by the invisible force field, which now felt like it was thumping like a heart, repulsing back anything that went near it. This time however, Yamcha did not allow it to send him back once more, as he pushed forward with his fist that was already extended, all the while cocking back his other hand as a fist charged with a sphere of ki.
When the third punch was launched, it managed to break through the invisible barrier and landed on the cocoon, managing to crack it, much to the delight of the defender of the planet. Then he was surprised and shocked as the sack of flesh spontaneously erupted from the inside, sending him flying as a gigantic Aqua-green beam of energy flew up into the heavens as a pillar of despair, emitting a massive amount of ki within it.
Kami's Lookout,
Everyone saw the pillar of ki. They all felt the power emanating from it and it caused everyone of the Z-Fighters to shake uncontrollably with pure, unadulterated, unbridled fear and terror in their eyes as they realized what had happened. Vegeta fell on his knees as his expression was frozen with sheer terror. He knew that he was weak, worthless, and he knew that it was all over for him. The royal bloodline would truly end with him.
The rest weren't doing any better, as their bodies were so frozen that they couldn't even fall to their knees like the royal warrior did. They were sweating buckets and shaking as their eyes bugged out and their pupils were pinpricks in their giant sclera. Depression and hopelessness were truly sinking in as tears fell down from Raditz's eyes.
"First Eighteen, now Seventeen...they didn't deserve this death. It's all over." he said as he truly accepted things as if death incarnate had just arrived to take them to the Otherworld. He truly felt the cold grasp of death against his skin when his ki sense had picked up the power that was coming from the pillar.
Both Kami and Piccolo looked in horror and despair. They then looked at one another, finally reaching the understanding that they could no longer delay their fusion. If it could give them just enough power to even have the slightest effect in the fight, they had to do it. However, the attendant of the lookout grabbed the arm of the eternally young Namekian who was the guardian of the planet. Said guardian looked at the djinn, who merely shook his head and kept his grasp on the hand firm, stopping him from moving towards his other half.
Krillin and Tien couldn't even retort as they watched the beam. 'Everything I did, all my efforts that to take the bastard out. All of it was pointless. I'm going to die a second death, just as useless as the first time.' he thought to himself as tears started to form in his eyes. The idea of being dead weight once more, not doing anything but die, not changing anything, knowing that all of the efforts that he made meant nothing in the end, all of this finally broke the tri-clops, who fell down on the tiled ground and started to sob, all while hiding away his tears.
The feeling of true despair had crushed them all.

The light finally started to slowly die down, as the pillar itself started to slowly shrink itself in size. On the island Yamcha hand landed several meters from the center of the pillar of light. His body shook as he felt the gigantic ki signature, and the wind blew him back slightly, flapping his long hair and beard as he covered his face.
[Start Musical Cue #4]
The light finally died down to reveal the monstrous Perfect Form of the creature that he had been fighting. He felt utterly fearful in the presence of the new form. Cell had a completely human face that was both macho and yet graceful and femininity to it, resembling slightly to the faces of both of the twin cyborgs. There was also a bright-purple chinstrap around his perfectly manly jawline, along with blood-red eye strips going down from the area of his eyes and his chinstrap, going down along the cheekbones.
His outer exoskeleton was light-blue in color like it was with his Imperfect and Semi-Perfect Forms, as well as black dots covering it. However, this form also had another protective layer above the exoskeleton, being black in color, working as essentially groin protector, shoulder pads and breast plates that were connected to two giant black wings like those of his Imperfect Form. Fortunately, this form did not appear to have its long tail and stinger, or it was rather tucked under the large wings of the amalgamated creature.
His skull was also different from the last two form, having it be shaped with two spikes spreading to the sides and two others sprouting upwards, completely straight and all being completely symmetrical. In the center of his head was a large, purple Arcosian bio-gem that covered most of the crown, like skull. Yamcha recognized the description as it was what Raditz told was the appearance of Cooler's head in his Fifth form that the Saiyan fought against when he first transformed. The human also notices a large extension on each of the monster's forearms, which made it look like he had arm blades.
The creation of Dr. Gero and Dr. Wheelo stood at the center of the place that was the pillar of ki, his arms spread to the sides as he raised his head to the sky with his eyes closed. He had a smile of blissful satisfaction, joy and pleasure plastered all over his face, looking like as if he was some sort of god who was better than everyone around him. Yamcha shook slightly in the presence of his adversary, knowing that he had fucked up big time. His eyes were wide and his expression was truly that of fear of the power that he was feeling.
"I am Perfect Cell, the ultimate life form." the humanoid being finally spoke with a confident, assured, blissful and relaxed tone to his voice, which was now rather smooth and deep in sound. He allowed his ki to slightly ris, which shook the entire island to the point that cracks started to slowly spread out from where he stood, expanding forward one millimeter at a time, startling his opponent enough to cause him to yelp and jump back several meters while the cracks continued to spread. Perfect Cell then lowered his head to look directly at his opponent, his eyes opening to reveal his turquoise-green eyes that matched those of Super Saiyans, his smirk getting wider and wider.
The ultimate life form took a deep breath, allowing himself to draw the pure air to the point that his stomach started to rise slightly. He then exhaled slowly, releasing the air from his mouth as hot air, which scorched the ground once it passed by it. This made him chuckled with pleasure at the sight of his own power. He set his sights back on the silver-haired man as he took a step forward. "Here is my promise to you, Yamcha." he started to speak with a cordial tone to his voice as he took which rang loudly with a "THRAP!" sound as the island shook again, cracks spreading even further. "I am going to give you a slow, painful death." he said with incredible amount of confidence in his voice, showing that he was not bluffing.
A golden aura flared up around his muscular figure and burned like wildfire." AHH!" he screamed as his power skyrocketed as the monster powered up immediately to his full power. There was no slow buildup of wind, no powerful earthquakes were caused that shook the planet to its very foundation. No, with a long scream Cell released a powerful burst of air that had so much force in it that it cracked the entire ground beneath the feet of the two fighters into several smaller islands in a mere instant, too fast for a regular earthquake to occur. While the ground did shook, it was already after it had turned into seven smaller islands.
In just a few seconds, black clouds arrived to the area and covered it in complete darkness, with the perfect being's golden aura shining in it like a star. A star of destruction.

Cell has reached his goal, he had achieved perfection, and he now targets Yamcha as his first target. Can Full Powered Burst Limit stand up to the mighty Perfect Cell? Will Yamcha die at the hands of the ultimate life form? Will Goku become strong enough to face this new power of Cell? How will this grand battle end? Find out on the next chapter of Changed Path...
Few, took a lot less time to finish this one. I am truly proud to get to this part of the story. For years I have imagined it in my mind and now it is finally written down on this site and released. Well, at least the first part. Next time it gets juicier with even more fighting and I promise it won't be a slaughter like it was with Super Vegeta in canon. We are talking about a mastered super form here, aren't we?
Now I know why I gave Mastered Burst Limit/Full Powered Burst Limit light-silver hair, considering that is the color of the "Mastered Ultra Instinct" that we get in super. Well, my answer is a simple one (and one that would get me a ton of hate, but fuck it):
Fuck Mastered Ultra Instinct! Is it cool? Fuck the hell yes! Do I love the concept of the technique? God-fucking-damn yes! Do I like the fact that it changed Goku's hair color, making everyone think it was some sort of transformation? FUCK THE HELL NO! Ultra Instict Omen was the coolest Ultra Instinct looked, and "Mastered" was simply another fucking base form hair recoloring! ULTRA INSTINCT IS NOT A FUCKING TRANSFORMATION! IT IS A TECHNIQUE, A STATE OF BEING! IT SHOULD NOT COLOR YOUR HAIR FUCKING WHITE!
On a similar note to Ultra Instinct: Gohan Ultimate State is NOT a fucking transformation! Everybody needs to get that through their thick fucking skulls! It is basically powering to your max power, whether in base or any sort of power up and releases all of your hidden potential. That is fucking it! God, all of this fucking ranting is giving me a fucking headache.
Anyway, Yamcha's Full Powered/Mastered Burst Limit is basically the same as Super Saiyan Grade 4/Full Power Super Saiyan/Mastered Super Saiyan. Another simple explanation for my lovely readers. I'm going to the R&A.
R&A:
R: Here is the beginning of the legend of the almighty god yamcha.
admit it someone was going to make a comment like this.
A: Yep, I sure should have seen them coming. To be honest, I like the fact that there is a massive growing love for Yamcha and Tien, especially after Toriyama gave Yamcha a character assassination 20-something years ago to justify Bulma and Vegeta having Trunks (Yamcha a cheater? If anything Bulma is the cheater here) and let's not forget the humiliation my guy Tien suffered in Dragon Ball Super. I mean job to Roshi of all people? Roshi! Then his performance at the ToP was absolutely disgraceful to people who love Tien Shinhan as a fighter.
Just...just fuck all of that bullshit. Tournament of power is a massive shit show that I refuse to touch with a ten feet poll. The manga was far worse, but at least we got the Chadhan meme from it.
R: So, 17, Lapis my apologies, washed up on the island that we would inevitably reserve. That's neat way of establishing new Super lore with the older stuff I appreciate that. It allowed you to humanize him some, something that 18 got a lot of recently but was a bit lacking with 17. And I actually liked the phonetic transcription for the little farmer girl, I dug. Cell's new Technopathy is an interesting addition, though not one of utmost danger if you aren't a cyborg/android. And his staredown with 17 was nice, but what really got me hyped was the arrival of my boy, Yamcha. I love seeing the appreciation of the Wolf Fang Style. Can't wait to see him lay the smacketh down on Cell's candy ass. Even though I'm certain it won't stop Cell from achieving Perfection, it'll be a great sight to see.
A: Well, I'm glad that you liked Lapis's character development last chapter. It wasn't much, but I did hope that it was good enough, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I actually decided to have the island that he landed on to be the island where he eventually becomes a park ranger at, because I saw it on Super and thought why the hell not? Super gave him at least something and instead of just dropping him in some random island like canon did with Sixteen and Eighteen, I decided to make a good use of the location of this part of the arc.
As for Yamcha, he didn't use his signature Wolf Fang Fist this chapter, but he will use it a lot more now against Perfect Cell. Don't worry, your boy still has some shine in him and he will shin bright against the darkness.
Okay, that is all for now. I hope to see you all again soon. Bye bye and have a nice goddamn month everyone. Love you guys!
