"Distractions!? You dare say you have been holding back!" Cell roared as he charged forward at Tarble. The saiyan tossed the white ball of energy, Cell watched as it missed widely. "What are you aiming for?" He said as he slammed his fist into Tarble's gut.

~Everyone, get out of Super Saiyan and back up some more! ~ Tarble's thoughts went out as he felt the air forced out of him. Goku and Gohan dropped from their super saiyan state, the saiyan warriors recognizing the power ball and Gohan simply being told to do it. Tarble turned Super Saiyan as his eyes glared at Cell. "Bad move… getting close." He said as he reached out. "BURST AND MIX!"

The power ball suddenly erupted, Cell confused as the data on the Oozaru had not mixed with Super Saiyan for the computer before. Cell had no information that it was possible. But now he was watching as Tarble's body began to grow more and more massive, his Ki increasing at an alarming rate. Cell leapt back and began to fire blast after blast at the growing Golden Ape, raining down destruction as the Ki kept increasing more and more. "No, I will not accept this!" He said focusing the beams of energy to deadly piercing death beams, a barrage of death came down at the mass as it grew.

A roar pushed the smoke screen that had formed away in an instant, the Ki in the Golden Ape form skyrocketed as the earth shook, the oceans of the planet began to tremor and waves cascade wildly in the sudden burst of power. His eyes red and focused onto Cell. ~That's right, that's your target. He thinks he is better then you… prove him wrong~ Tarble's thoughts went into his body, as he was no longer in control. It was his primal instincts.

The Golden Ape roared out again as Cell fired another blast, instead charging through it. The blast exploded on his aura and before Cell could try to back away, a huge fist collided with his body. Almost instantly Cell's body crunched against the force as he was rocketed away from the Ape, His body mangled in one hit. Forced to regenerate, his leg and arm having to twist back in place. Before his regeneration was complete though, the Ape appears over him. Howling before a slam of a closed fist crushed him back down into the ground.

Cell's body laid mangled once more in the ground, the Golden Ape pounding his own chest in dominance as Cell began to regenerate again. The Golden Ape interrupted his regeneration again as it slammed it's fist down, waiting for him to start regenerating again before slamming again. Cell put into a loop of regeneration and being crushed. The Golden Ape soon turning to a series of crushing slams in a rapid attack, looking like a gorilla furiously beating down an opponent. The series of attacks ending with a roar down at the ground at the bloodied mess of twisted limbs, Cell's body still trying to Regenerate.

~What is this? How is this power possible? ~ Cell's mind was racing as each time he began to regenerate, the golden form above him because crushing him again. ~I cannot regenerate fast enough to gain the Saiyan Boost. Is it just doing it to torment me? Damn him! DAMN HIM! ~ He forced out his force Field out, the Golden Ape held at bay as it began to strike down once more. Cell's Ki was being drained, and even with the boost may not be enough. He needed time to Regenerate though and to get away. Then the Force Field broke, a Ki enhanced fist broke free as Cell attempted to leap to the air and leave the Ape's attack range.

Instead as Cell leapt away, the Ape followed with a charge. Cell tried to evade but soon felt his body caught in the grasp of one giant hand. His body soon crushed as it squeezed tight, Cell let out a silent scream as his eye widened. ~How was this large monster so fast!? ~ Cell thought as Tarble's ape form roared out. His hand glowed bright as a surge of ki formed around his hand, Cell trapped in an energy ball and could feel it tearing him apart in the grasp. Being crushed under such force that he could not imagine.

The Golden form then absent mindedly tossed Cell to the air; His body charred from bathing in the intense Ki. His body wrapped around itself as his body was crushed to the point of just being a rag doll. Even now his regeneration attempted to restore him. The Golden ape below gathered Ki at it's through. ~So, this is the end? This is the limit I found… The best Genetically crafted being. To be defeated by a beast… ~ Cell thought as he was bathed in a mouth blast from the Golden Ape form. The blast was short, and removed the upper layer of armor's exoskeleton. Another Short blast tore away his dense muscles. Again, another blast began to disintegrated his limbs. Soon Cell was just a head and torso, ripped open and bloodied and exposing all his vulnerable organs.

The Ape let out a massive roar, the earth broke open as his Ki raised once more. Mr. Satan and the news crew that had been nearby, found themselves in a bubble of protective magic. Yurin had placed herself near them as the battle had continued, and used her magic to save the humans. The news crew asked Mr. Satan what was going on, but before he could answer Yurin just chuckled. "Magic of course." She then pulled the protective bubble away, getting the normal humans further away to protect them. It was after all her job to protect earth and its people.

Cells body now hovered only just over the Golden Ape; the blasts had kept him in the air tell he was in just the right spot. A final blast, a tower of Ki formed into a beam that encompassed Cell, and continued tell Cell was no more, turned into nothing but dust. The ape soon settling into a rested position hooting lightly and lightly tapping his chest.

"H-he did it… He did it!" Yamcha called out astounded by the power Tarble had. The others to dumbstruck to join in the cheering. Goku and Vegeta's eyes focused intently on the Golden form.

~Guys, don't make too much noise. ~ Tarble's voice rang to the fighters on the sideline, into their mind. ~I cannot control the body; it is instead in control by primal instincts. I couldn't figure out how to control it, so I found a way to compartmentalize my mind to try to direct it. ~

"Compartmentalize?" Goku asked very confused.

"It means he split his mind from the one controlling his body. Sectioning it off so it didn't get affected by the primal mind in control. Like he separated his Ego from his ID." Gohan said, having to had learn a bit of psychology through his studies. "It is a defense mechanism when someone is Cognitive Dissonance, or simply mental discomfort or stress."

~Exactly, but because I don't have complete control my body will attack anyone it sees in its territory. But my natural Ki output in this form is dangerous for the planet as well, and could lead to it collapsing as well. ~

"That is why you had me gather everyone onto New Namek, to repair the planet and make sure we had people that could look… but why the kids? Why Chichi?" Goku chuckled a bit about Tarble's forethought a bit

~No, I sent them incase I failed. If Cell could heal fast enough and gain enough strength, they would need the two sets of dragon balls to try and offset what happened. Chichi would need to train the kids to face Cell if he ever showed up at New Namek. Bulma would have been able to teach them other things they would need to know. I didn't ask for the others for the next step of my plan. ~

"Next step?" Vegeta butted in now. "What next step, you won."

~Yes, but I may still destroy our new home. I need you all to defeat me now. ~ Everyone froze in this moment. ~Vegeta, you are the only one who can go Super Saiyan and not transform right now. I need you to destroy the power ball so it does not provide any more Blutz Waves. Make a wide blast to break up as much of the energy as possible. Then the rest of you need to attack me all together. ~

"That is suicide! You took out Cell without any problems, and now you want us to fight you!?" Ashe yelled out, the Golden Ape stood once more and began to scan the area. The group quickly leapt behind the mass of rocks they had been standing on to block its view.

~If you don't, I will kill everyone just by existing. I am not ready to bare that; I don't think I could live with the idea that I was the reason for everyone's death. I need to be stopped. I need you all to stop me. ~ Tarble pleaded.

Ashe was about to interject once more, when Vegeta landed back on the rock formation and looked to his brother. "Well then…" Vegeta began as he became a super saiyan. "Looks like it is the older brother's duty to save his little brother again!" The Golden Ape turned feeling the sudden power, looking Vegeta in the eyes as they both roared out. Vegeta gathered his own energy ball and fired it for the center of the power ball. The Golden Ape came rushing toward his brother, ready to crush him as he charged.

Vegeta roared out as he made his attack explode in the center of the power ball and making the light dissipate. "NOW!" He yelled as the Golden Ape was already over him, two large fists clenched and ready to come down. Raditz and Nappa rushed and slammed into the bare chest of Tarble, his balance already top heavy and the extra force allowed for his body to be toppled over. The Golden Ape roared out at the interruption, getting up to attack the two newcomers.

Piccolo, Tien, and Yamcha took position in the back, Tien and Yamcha's hands on Piccolo's back as he held up one hand to his forehead and began to charge his attack. He hoped with the combined power of the two humans, he would be able to at least limit the movement of Tarble's great form. But sensing the power surge, Tarble turned and saw them. His mouth opened to get a mouth blast ready.

"Raditz, charge his throat. Disrupt the Ki gathering there." Nappa yelled out as he charged forward to attack one side.

"Good to see our Elite Battle Veteran ready to go." Raditz grinned as he charged for the other side. The two collided to both sides of Tarble's throat before he fired the blast, making the beast's Ki break away and closing the throat for a moment to cause a coughing fit.

"My turn!" Ashe rushed forward, a Ki sword in hand. Her target was her uncle's tail, a burst of speed as she aimed to take it in one swing. Tarble's body twisted as a back hand flew toward her, Goku appearing beside her and transporting her instantly out of danger. The hand swung wildly as Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz continued blasting at the body to try and keep it from focusing out.

~Gohan…~ Tarble's voice echoed into the young Hybrids mind.

"Tarble, I don't know…" Gohan began to say.

~I know, I didn't know either. I didn't know if I could fight for what I believed in, I didn't know if I could save anyone, I didn't know if I was strong enough. ~ Tarble's voice echoed into his mind. ~But… in the end it doesn't matter if I can. ~ Gohan's eyes looked to the Golden Ape as he listened to the voice. ~It isn't a question if one can do something… It is a question of if someone should do something… I don't want to kill anyone; I hate the idea of it. But what I hate more… is being the reason why innocent people are hurt. Being the reason, my friends die. Being the reason, my home is destroyed. ~ Gohan nodded to this.

~This is why, I ask you to stop me. Don't think if you can do it or not. Don't fear failure. Don't hate yourself for not being better. Don't worry about the others. Focus your mind on what you need to do, and do it! ~

Gohan's eyes looked at the roaring beast as the others fought as hard as they could. He nodded; he knew what he needed to do. This fight was not going to be won by brute forcing the huge beast. Gohan powered up as much as he could, and suddenly dashed away from the beast.

"GOHAN! What are you doing? We need your power!" Goku called out, having to teleport again to get out of and attack focused on him. Tarble's body soon grabbing pieces of earth and throwing them, making Vegeta have to act as support by blasting them while Goku used his superior movement to keep everyone out of range. But it was clear everyone was getting exhausted. Gohan flew as fast as he could, pushing his ki to the limit to move faster. There was a limited amount of time, and he needed to get his task done in time.

Tarble continued to battle against his foes, the primal mind easily tricked and allowing them to keep the edge enough to not die. Piccolo fully charged pointed two fingers at Tarble, and fired a Special Beam Cannon at his beastly form. The beam came close but was dodged by the giant golden ape by taking to the air. Piccolo then smiled as his other hand pointed out and fired a second Special Beam Cannon and pierced through his knee. Tarble roaring out in pain as he came crashing down at the three warriors, the jumped away but the pressure of his landing sent them flying and crashing into the ground hard.

Ashe moved in for a second try at the tail, but this time was swiped against by the tail's tip and snapped to the side and into a nearby rock formation that had risen due to their battle with Tarble. The landscape transformed by Tarble's Ki ever increasing, huge pieces of land lifted to the air and crashed down when he moved away.

Everyone's ki grew to it's limit as they fought the overwhelming power of the Golden Oozaru. Vegeta thinking this is what the true Legendary Super Saiyan is, a mass of destructive force that sees no family or friend. It is only a primal force that seeks to remove all obstacles. He was slowly losing his strength as his Ki reserves were depleting. Goku was not doing much better, the mental focus of the Instant Transmission was pushed to it's limits and he didn't think he could keep it up.

Before Tarble's Ape form could finish them though, Gohan reappeared. "Sorry, I needed something. We can't over power him, but we can save him." Gohan as he looked at Tarble. "HEY! I will be your opponent!" He screamed out; The Golden Ape roared back.

Gohan knew he needed to do it, there was no could he. His eyes flashed as he focused on Tarble. ~ I will save you, I will! ~ As he was filled with sheer determination, he then powered up. He pushed his Ki to the limit, and demanded more. Tarble charged forward to his new target, not caring about the power increase. Gohan screamed out as his hair stood spike, electricity surged around his body, and a massive aura surrounded him. Gohan had chosen to fight without holding back, determined to save Tarble at all costs. With that Determination… Fear, worry, rage, sadness was all wiped away. All that that remained was his power, The Super Saiyan 2.

Tarble rushed forward with a massive swing to take down the fighter. Gohan's body shifted on its own as he dodged the attack. "I am not the strongest." Gohan spoke as he dashed forward. "Nor am I the most durable." His body skimmed just over the arm and between the fingers of the other hand as it attempted to grab him. "But what I am…" Dashing once more in blinding speed, and placed his hand on the forehead of Tarble. "I am fast!" Gohan dashed away, leaving behind a small tag.

Tarble's body suddenly had deep black markings wrap around his body, designs that Piccolo found familiar. The seal that the now earth guardian had used on him before. He felt that a small drop on his power would not be enough, but great surprised when he noticed the golden fur brightened as a green aura flowed out of him.

Yurin some distance away, in her bubble to protect herself and the other humans, held her hands forward as she focused her magic through the tag. "Purify! Ki ka ko, Ka Ko ki, Kai Kai Ko!" She sent as much power as she could toward her husband, demanding the contaminating radiation of Blutz waves to be removed from his body.

Gohan had saw the physical strength was not enough, endurance was not enough, and even speed would not be enough. But Yurin's magic had proven useful in the past, and she would have some method of helping. Yurin explained she once removed tainted energy from him, and with that Gohan set up his plan. He didn't need to overpower Tarble, he needed to distract him while Yurin did her part.

"Now, let us finish this." Gohan roared out behind him while the ape was unaware of the change. It turned to face him and charged once more. "KA-ME…" Gohan positioned himself firmly on the ground. "HA-ME…" A blue orb formed in his hand, condensed with power. Tarble nearly on him. "HA!" He thrust his palms forward and collided with the Giant Ape's form and pushed it back slightly.

The beasts body wrapped with energy; its feet plant heavy to the ground as it pushed back against the beam. Roaring in fury as it slowly claimed ground, but a slowly and slower rate. The Golden Ape form was losing Blutz Waves at an alarming rate, and was slowly losing the strength to keep its form. Rage and fury infected in its mind, it called for its Ki. Charging enough Ki in its throat to possibly destroy the planet, and targeted Gohan.

"Gohan!" Goku could feel the power charge and increase. He was not about to let his son die when he could do something about it, this was a fight none of them could have fought alone. "KA-ME-HA-ME…" Goku charged his attack and appeared before Tarble's face, enough of a distraction for the ape to focus on him. "HA!"

The Ape fired its blast as Goku thrust his hands out. The blast no longer targeting Gohan or the earth, Collided with his own. Goku pushed as much of his power as he could, but he could not manage to hold it long. His Kamehameha failing on him as he was soon overtaken, his body destroyed by Tarble's blast. Tarble's mind screamed out in the beast's head, the more the Blutz waves were taken out the more control he could claim.

Gohan stopped his blast as he watched the Ape suddenly strike itself. A massive blew to its own head, heavy breathing as another hit to his own stomach. Tarble's body shrank as a thunderous roar left his body "GOKUUUU!" Tarble cried out as his body slowly returned to normal, Tarble still hitting himself as he was unaware of him being successfully beaten. Tired, his hits made little impact even on himself. The tired body soon just collapsed to the ground.

Gohan looking down at him still in a super saiyan 2 form. "It is ok… it is over now. Take your rest." He said looking to the sky, knowing that his father had saved him and the world. "Thank you, Dad." A single tear falling off down his cheek and onto the ground. The battle was won, and he became what his father and Tarble had hoped for. He began a determined protector.

-Gero's Lab-

The super computer analyzed the data it could obtain from the battle. The robots sent to collect the data seemed to have shorted out. Last it saw was Cell enveloped in an attack from Tarble, the energy output so great that the data collecting robots exploded. The larval Cell wiggled slightly with life.

- Fear not, Cell. I have collected plenty of Data of your perfect form. I shall analyze the collected cellular structure gathered from your future self. With that, you should be able to be born without the need of android 17 and 18. Target, Tarble is an acceptable candidate of review as well. May need to collect all the fighters rather then select ones that proven to be of higher power. A foolish mistake on Gero's part. -

The computer connected to the other super computers to transfer data.

- Must research what Namek is, set task to Labs 3, 7, and 13 to that task. 16's signal is missing still, disconnect is concerning. I did not expect him to find a paradox and close link. Will need to dismantle and reconstruct when recollected. Data from him may prove useful to correct other defective projects. -

A chime came to the computer, data sent to them.

- Good, Project Scarlet is running smoothly. Human type sample has accepted newest addition to structure. Do not awaken, current data insufficient to provide truly the greatest being. Alien life learned about, must collect outside of earth to find perfect genetic structure. -

The computer disconnected from the other super computers around the world, and continued to work on its project. Cell will return…

Thus, ends the Cell Saga! Tarble put a major risk to make sure Cell was defeated, and relied on the others to stop him. Gohan had fulfilled his destiny! Becoming the super saiyan 2 after Tarble's request to stop him. Gohan proven to have a thinking mind as well, and found a way to save Tarble and allow him to live. Unfortunately, it led to the death of Earth's greatest warrior, Goku. How will things change in the future? Well next saga is Buu! Lets find out what strangeness comes from these next chapters!
