Dragon Ball Z: Alternate Love

Chapter 50: Perfect Cell

Trunks was seeing red as he kept trading blows with Cell.

The characters down below were all in awe of his ferocity.

Even Vegeta, who had made his way back to the battlefield, was in awe of how angry his son seemed.

He felt ashamed of himself. His pride had gotten the better of him. He could only guess how pissed Tights would be for the decision he made.

….

On the LookOut

Dende, Chi Cha, Videl and Eresa all had their ears covered by Chi Chi, Bulma, Maron and Launch.

Tights didn't take the situation well.

Tights, "How stupid can you be?! Why does everyone keep relying on death matches!? How many times can these stupid ass Saiyans do these stupid ass things?! I am gonna make Vegeta sleep on the couch for an entire week! No, that's not a fitting punishment for him OR Krillin! I'm going to force them to play OutLast 1 and 2 back to back until they finish the damned game! THAT is a punishment! And I swear to Dende, if they do this kinda shit again, I am gonna kick them all the way to Namek!"

Tights was taking deep breaths after the long rant.

Bulma, "you fine sis?"

Tights, "gasp, yeah, gasp, I'm fine. Just, gasp, needed to get that, gasp, outta my system."

Launch, "I do like that idea on how to punish them though. Playing those games back to back in one sitting would be torture for ANYONE."

Maron, "agreed. And this is coming from a fan of those games."

The women all chuckled as Chi Cha went, "can we listen to you guys now?"

Dende, "what?!"

Chi Cha, "I said can we listen now!"

Dende, "what!?"

Chi Cha, "I said-"

Eresa, "what?!"

Chi Cha, "I-"

Videl, "whaaaaaaat!?"

….

Goku and Gohan were still training as hard as they could. Even from within the time chamber they could feel that something was off.

They knew that they had to get as strong as possible.

Or else everyone would face the music….

….

Cell was desperately blocking every blow Trunks sent at him.

Cell knew that if he held out long enough, Trunks would get exhausted. It was only a matter of outlasting him.

And as our heroes watched the fight going on, they knew they needed to run off.

Bardock, "we gotta get far away from that oversized Pokemon as fast as we can. Come on!"

As Lazuli and Roku looked at their rescuers, Krillin locked eyes with Lazuli.

Krillin, "come with us if you wanna live."

And the two Cyborgs followed Krillin and the others.

As they did, Lazuli had a certain thought as she stared at Krillin.

"If we make it out of this, I'm gonna rock his four foot world."

The crew ran off as the fight continued.

Unfortunately, Cell noticed this.

And he wasn't about to let his target get away!

So Cell quickly went, "SOLAR FLARE!"

It blinded both Trunks and Vegeta.

Cell sent a blast of energy at both Saiyans, sending them far enough away for him to make his move!

Cell rocketed towards the others, and got a lucky strike on Roku, breaking his arm and leg!

Roku slumped to the ground, yelling in utter pain.

Cell kicked him several feet away.

Bardock and Gine jumped at their enemy, trying to keep him away from Lazuli.

Bardock, "you won't get to her!"

Cell, "you're only delaying the inevitable!"

Krillin jumped in as Bardock was knocked into a boulder, knocking him out.

Gine, "Bardock! Argh! You bastard!"

Cell, "don't let your anger blind you!"

Gine saw red as she kept trying to get a strong enough hit on Cell.

Gine and Krillin weren't as strong as Vegeta and Trunks currently were, and were flung away!

Cell, "told ya!"

Lazuli was backed into a corner as Cell's tail was ready to absorb her.

Cell, "finally!"

But before he could strike, a small blast of energy hit his back, grabbing his attention.

He turned to see Roku kneeling there.

Roku, "take me instead."

Cell, "excuse me?"

Roku, "Doctor Gero…. My father…. Designed me so I could be a stand in for Lazuli. In case she or Lapis were to meet their ends."

Cell, "oh? And why would I absorb you instead of Lazuli?"

Roku, "I am stronger than Lazuli. You would reach perfection, with an added boost."

Krillin tried to get back up, "Roku! No!"

Cell's grin grew as he left Lazuli cowering behind him.

Lazuli began to tear up as she was about to lose another friend.

Gine held Bardock as she could only stare in horror at the sight before her.

Cell's tail opened up, and launched itself at Roku!

Trunks and Vegeta only regained their eyesight as Roku was slowly absorbed by Cell.

Trunks, "dear Dende no!"

Vegeta, "what have I done?!"

You could hear Gine yell, "you f#$ked up, King of all Assholes!"

Krillin jumped at Cell as he absorbed Roku, but the creature was able to meet each and every one of his strikes!

And as Krillin was knocked over to Lazuli, she could only shout, "ROKU! NO!"

And with a final gulp, Roku was gone!

….

Ventuna fell to her knees, breathing heavily as tears streamed down her face.

Yamcha and Chi Chi ran to her.

Yamcha, "what's happened?"

Ventuna, "h-he's gone!"

Chi Chi, "who?!"

Ventuna, "m-my son…."

Yamcha and Chi Chi shared a mournful.

….

Dende, as the new Guardian, felt the loss of the Cyborg who saved his friend.

Chi Cha held her boyfriend up as his breath wavered.

….

Goku and Gohan could feel what was happening, even within the time chamber.

….

As Cell finished absorbing Roku, he was engulfed in a bright light that blinded everyone around him.

Vegeta and Trunks fell to the ground as they shielded their eyes.

Soon, the light faded as the fighters all slowly opened their eyes.

And standing there, was the large, muscled creature, who now looked more human than insect creature.

It spoke, "Ahh. At last. P is for priceless, the look upon your faces. E is for extinction, all your puny races. R for revolution, which will be televised. F is for how f#$ked you are, now allow me to reprise. E is for eccentric, just listen to my Song. C is for completion, that I've waited for so long. T is for the terror, upon you I'll bestow. My name is Perfect Cell. And I'd like to say…. Hello."

Everyone froze as they saw Cell standing there in his perfect form.

Cell, "well, well, well. Who would like to take a stab at perfection?"

Vegeta and Trunks both rose back to their feet as they prepared themselves to fight.

Cell, "oh? The king and the Prince? Heh, this should be good."

Krillin and Lazuli got closer together as Gine helped Bardock up. He finally came to as he saw Cell standing there.

Bardock, "oh, we're f $#ked. So very, very f%#ked."

Vegeta, "not yet we aren't!"

Vegeta, Krillin and Trunks launched themselves at Cell, each trying to get a strike on their enemy.

But he managed to avoid every single punch, kick and such thrown at him.

He moved like the wind itself, dodging every single attack!

Gine, Bardock and Lazuli all had fearful looks on their faces as they watched the seemingly strongest of their group fighting, but doing no damage.

And that's when Cell showed his newfound strength and speed.

He quickly twisted his body around and kicked Vegeta square in the face! It actually broke his nose, causing a splatter of blood to fly as he was launched away.

Cell turned quickly and began furiously punching Trunks in the face and stomach until a very strong one sent him into the air, landing hard on his back as he groaned in pain, with bruises on his jaw, and holes in his shirt, showing bruises on his stomach and chest.

Krillin was the last to be decked hard in the face, spinning him around until Cell launched a small blast of energy that sent Krillin into Lazuli, who barely caught him.

Lazuli, "you okay?!"

Krillin muttered, "either I'm dead, and I'm seeing an angel, or I'm looking at Lazuli right now."

Lazuli blushed hard as Krillin passed out.

Cell, "I'm happy to have received a test of my perfect form. Now, as a show of gratitude, I'll let the lot of you run off to Goku and the others. But don't worry, you'll be seeing me soon enough…."

Cell dashed off, as fast as a bullet from a gun, leaving the bloodied and terrified group to live another day.

Trunks and Vegeta were able to pick themselves up. Lazuli held Krillin as Bardock could finally stand right.

Gine, "we've gotta get to the LookOut as fast as we can."

Everyone gave a nod.

Vegeta and Trunks leaned on one another for support as the group raced off towards the LookOut.

….

Bulma and the others were all at the edge of the LookOut.

They were released to see their friends and family alive, surprised at the appearance of Lazuli, and worried at seeing how bloodied and beaten the group was.

Tights hugged her husband and future son tightly, too worried about them to yell at them for earlier.

Lazuli placed Krillin before Dende and bowed her head.

Lazuli, "can you please heal him?"

F-Gohan, F-Chi Cha, F-Madison, and F-Trunks were surprised at the Cyborg being so humble.

Dende nodded as he kneele d down and began healing Krillin.

Vegeta and Trunks would be next.

Bardock and Gine explained the situation to the others.

Tien, "so, because Krillin and Vegeta screwed up, we are now all in danger?"

Gine, "sadly yes. I think some of us should stay at Kame House, if and when things get ugly."

Piccolo, "who?"

Bardock, "I recommend Tights, Maron, Launch and the babies stay at Kame House."

Piccolo, "if Cell makes himself known, I recommend we all enter the Time Chamber two at a time in order to get stronger."

Raditz, "I'll train with Chi Cha."

Yamcha, "I can go with Chi Chi."

Bardock, "me and Gine will go in together."

Tien, "me and Chaotzu will go in together."

Videl and Eresa jumped up, "we can train in there!"

Eresa, "so we can at least defend ourselves a bit."

Piccolo, "I'll take Videl."

Krillin, "I guess I'll take Eresa then."

F-Madison, "that leaves me and Sean, Chi Cha and Gohan in pairs."

Bulma, "I was actually planning on using the Chamber to give birth sooner. That way I can help with the fighting, and not have to worry about a miscarriage."

Raditz, "smart idea. Wish we had done that with Maron and Madison."

Dende, "I need to stay at the LookOut, being the Guardian and all."

Chi Cha, "then you'll need protection."

F-Chi Cha, "I can stay here with Madison and Sean to do so."

Maron, "now we gotta wait for Goku and Gohan to exit the chamber."

Launch, "so the, 'future crew', will stay on the LookOut for now while the rest of us regroup at Kame House for now."

Tights, "looks like it."

Bulma, "I'm gonna stay here to wait for Goku and Gohan to get out of the chamber."

Raditz, "sounds good."

As the group each went in certain directions, Lazuli grabbed Krillin's hand so he would look at her.

Lazuli, "may I head out with you?"

Krillin grew a bit of a blush, "s-sure."

The two of them walked off with the others to get back to Kame House.

….

But hope wasn't lost that day.

For inside of the Time Chamber, Goku was throwing a major attack at his son.

One that he was confident would unlock his son's transformation.

Goku threw the large attack at his son. The boy barely caught it as he tried to launch it back.

And as he tried to do so….

It clicked!

Gohan's hair flashed gold, and his eyes were emerald green as he shot the attack away, right towards his father, who managed to dodge the attack.

And with a huge smile on his face.

Gohan was in between excited and terrified as he looked at himself.

Finally, Gohan was a Super Saiyan!

….

Reviews:

thewittywhy: oh, the two of them will face some form of punishment. Although it might be more comedic.

JPHardin1999: maybe. And we'll have a surprise appearance from someone during it.

PokemonFreak90: no. Bulla is gonna be Tights and Vegeta's 2nd kid, remember? Delya is gonna be Goku and Bulma's third child, born a few years after Goten, when Gohan, Chi Cha, Videl and Eresa are twenty, Goten and Marron will be ten or nine, and Delya and Bulla will be around three or four maybe.

mmat: yes.

: consider it done.

Amanny: glad the joke made you laugh. And I hope when I do the Broly movie, it turns out well.

….

And thus, Perfect Cell is here!

And I just HAD it include the song he sings in DBZA.

Hopefully I did his introduction justice.

Also, was anyone expecting that twist with Roku being absorbed, and not Lazuli?

And so it won't be Roku who sacrifices himself to help Gohan gain the anger needed to kill Cell.

Who will it be? Try to guess!

And I finally have Gohan as a Super Saiyan!

See you guys next time! Have a great day/night and stay safe.
