Lina Inverse, a Saiyan!

Chapter 5: Goku's Battle

After exiting the chamber, they flew back to Goku's house. The days seemed to fly by and also felt as if time slowed steadily. Lina and Xellos participated in Gohan's birthday celebration. They relaxed the rest of the time. Finally, the day arrived.

Flying to the battleground, they landed and saw a news crew that surrounded Mr. Satan's group. Looking on in disbelief at this man, they laughed silently to themselves and thought what an ego. Luckily for Mr. Satan, Cell took pity on him and did not hurt him badly as he sent Satan into the mountainside. Goku stepped on the ring. Cell and Goku stood there as they silently measured each other. With a quick move, Goku engaged Cell with a flurry of moves. The battle escalated as they rose in the air exchanging punches that the camera could not follow while the Z-fighters watched intently. They fired blasts each other steadily increasing their power until Cell started a kamehameha aimed towards Goku which if not deflected would destroy the earth. Goku deflected the wave. The battle continued.

Xellos was looking at Cell from time to time while he gazed upon Lina. Lina, unaware of Xellos's gaze, watched the battle memorizing Cell's fighting technique and trying to gage his power limit. Frustration welled up in Lina, Cell was fighting but he still kept his full power hidden. Suddenly, Goku stopped fighting. Eventually, Gohan took his place while Lina watched Gohan worriedly and thinking "He is just a kid, but Goku knows what he is doing. I think."
