Why can't we be friends?: Chapter 2

(All characters except the ones I made up are from DBZ, in other words don't sue me. I'm just writing a fanfic here.)

Part 2: Adult Division

A silence had settled in the arena. Everyone watched as the two warriors stared at each other, trying to gauge each other's weaknesses and strengths.
"He's better then me, stronger and faster. The only way I can win is to use pure skill." Cell thought to himself, as he tryed to figure out how Goku would attack.
"I watched his last fight, he's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve. I have to be careful." thought Goku, as he stared straight into Cell's eyes.

"Why aren't they doing anything?" asked Bulma, as her gaze moved from Goku to Cell, then back to Goku.
"Shhhhhh." hissed Jade and Chichi in unison, this making Bulma immediately shut up.
"C'mon daddy, you can do it." whispered Sapphire to herself as she watched the two fighters.
"Are you thirsty Saphy?" came Trunx's voice behind her.
"No, leave me alone." she replied harshly, totally immersed into the fight.
"Oh.....ok." Trunx whispered, walking away with a defeated look on his face. Then he felt someone grab his arm.
"I'm sorry, just don't bother me ok." said Sapphire, as she looked at him, realizing what she had said to him was mean.
"Sure, I understand." Trunx said nodding, realizing that this fight was really important to her. He leaned on the railing next to her. Sapphire being totally oblivious to his existance.

A cold wind blew through the stadium, and in the second it passed. A dead silence haging over the stadium. Though it was quickly broken as an explosion of energy could be felt, both warriros instantly changing into super saiyans.
"I'm sorry Goku, but for the time being. You are my enemy!" Cell yelled out as he charged at Goku, with such speed and power that he himself was surprised. Goku had little time to react, but being so resiliant he was able to dodge the attack by flipping over Cell, using his shoulders as a stand.
"Stay still!" Cell yelled, sending an elbow flying behind him to strike Goku in the head, but once again Goku flipped out of the way.
"Now I'm startng to see why Vegita gets so angry at you!" hissed Cell, as he turned to meet his opponent. He stopped from attacking him again, when he saw what looked like a questioning look on Goku's face.
"Oh really? Could you tell me, cuz I haven't really been able to figure it out?" asked Goku, looking at Cell with a stupid look on his face.
"I can't believe this guy." Cell thought to himself, wondering how someone this stupid could be the world's strongest fighter.
"Well if you really want a fight Cell, I guess I gotta give it to ya." Goku said like this was all a game to him. And he made his words apparent as for once Goku took the offensive, giving Cell a few quick kicks to the head, and another elbow in the stomach. This once again sending Cell reeling a little bit.
"Why you?!" Cell yelled, standing back up on his feet, then immediately starting attacking Goku with his all that was in him. And it seemed to be working well, since both fighters for the first time seemed to be evenly matched.
Everyone stared at the two in awe, as they had their hands clenched against each other, inn a trial of power. They pushed against each other, thier auras so powerful, it caused the entire stadium to shake.

Sapphire stood there, her world now was nothing but the fight. She constantly kept yelling things to help Cell as if he could hear him, and she also believed that he was truelly helping him.
"There you go! Ah! Watch your back! All right. you got him now!" she kept shouting throughout the fight. Trunx just simplye watched her, he himself not having any fighter he personally wanted to win, and he mostly stayed quiet throughout the fight.

Back at the fight, the two combatants had let go ot their deadlock embrace, and flew backwards to look at each other. The intensity of the battle could be seen in both of thier eyes, and both seemed to be enjoying the fight.
"He's stronger then I thought. But its not over until its over." Goku said to himself breathing heavily.
"Goku is just as strong as I predicted him to be. I'm glad I didn't underestimate him, he's a much better fighter then me. I guess I'll have to do what I did in the last fight, make up for what I lack in strength with skill." Cell thought to himself. Once again Cell's image become blurry as four versions of himself appeared.
"So your going to try that trick again?" asked Goku with a gleam in his eye. All four of the Cell's attacked Goku at once. But unlike his son, his specialty was taking on multiple opponents at once, and since Cell's power was split in between them. He was having no problem fending them off.
"Darn, I'll have to try something different with him." Cell thought to himself, as he reformed.
"C'mon Cell, I thougth you had a lot more in you then that." Goku said, trying to get Cell to use up more of his energy using special attacks.
"Thats it! I've had it with using stupid strategy! I'm just going to get this fight over with!" yelled Cell in his own mind, the frustration of coming up with a new plan having just caused him to become angry.
This turned out to be Cell's biggest mistake, as when he started his mad dash at Goku, he left many openings on him. And Goku being who he was, could exploit every single one. And within a few seconds, Cell found himself on the ground, looking up at Goku. Feeling Goku's fist tap against his chin, saying that he should forfeit.
"Oh my ladies and Gentlemen, it seems that Cell has lost the fight. But he won't officially lose until he admits defeat, get disqualified, or gets knocked out!" yelled the annoucer. Satan still had his mouth wide open in asounishment, at the swift movements that Goku had just made.
Cell layed there on the ground, feeling like a complete loser. He had lost the fight, and all he had left to do now was forfeit. He glanced over to Sapphire who just stared at him, with a dissapointed look on her face. He knew that after all the time he had spent teaching her that power was nothing without control, he himself had lost due to a loss of temper. Then he looked up at his wife, her eyes sparkled with tears, having had to watch her beloved getting beaten, and humiliated.
Cell could suddenly hear his heart beating really fast, it echoed througout his body, and ringed in his mind. His mind suddenly filled with images of his dissapointed daughter and wife. And when the images subsided, he felts as if a string had just snapped in his mind.
"I won't lose like this. I can't lose like this." came the words that echoed in his head.
"I won't lose!!!" he screamed, the sheer force of the bellow causing the walls to shake. Goku was thrown back as he felt a huge power pushing him away. After standing back up, Goku glanced over at Cell. He was standing upright now. His super saiyan hair had become much more defined and pointy, and the cold eyes, and the look he gave Goku was enough to cause any other man to run in terror.
"He...he did it. He ascended." thought Goku to himself, as he realized that Cell had just reached Super Saiyan 2. The level that went beyond the power of a super saiyan. But there was still something that Goku had to share with everyone. For he himself had been holding back this entire time.
Cell's cold eyes glared at Goku, suddenly feeling that he had the power to beat his opponent no matter what. But as he came closer, his mind snapped back to reality when he felt a huge power eminating from his opponent. And after having to shield his eyes from the intense aura that Goku gave off, he finally looked at him to see that he had acended to the next level as well.
"How!? How did you...when did you?!" Cell yelled out, having all his dreams of an easy victory be destroyed instantly. His cool, calm, collective manner instantly breaking.
"I'm surprised you didn't realize it sooner Cell. I've been holding back this entire time, as was Gohan when he fought you. The only reason you won that fight was because you caught him off gaurd. There is one thing I've learned about Gohan, and that is the fact that he is to kind. He let his emotions get the best of him, and he couldn't attack you in your weakened form." said Goku, knowing that he could verbally defeat Cell at this moment.
"No....after all that work. All that training. I had been fooling myself the entire time. Even after I had ascended, I was still a fool." Cell lamented, realizing that this fight had been useless from the start.

Everyone on the sidelines watched intently, the scene that was playing before them. The already powerful fighters, had increased their power ten fold. Jade and Sapphire looked specially surprised. Since their emotion had gone from dissapointment, to surprise, then back to dissapointment. They had believed that Cell's victory was assured with his new found power, but in actuality he was only in this fight because he had lucked out in the last one.
"Ladies and Gentlmen, I don't believe this. But it seems that our two competitors have summoned even more power. As their hair has changed once again, and the glowing they have emited has grown stronger. Cell seems very agitated, while Goku is perfectly calm. I guess this power boost was new to our green warrior, while Goku had the whole thing planned this entire time." said the annoucer in the mike.
"Its a trick I tell ya. A trick!" Satan yelled, with no explanation to back him up.

"No....I won't believe it!" cried Cell, his aura creating a crater in arena.
"I haven't been fooling myself. I haven't!" he yelled stamping his foot on the ground, making a hole there. Goku looked at him with a dissapointed look. He realized it was probably a bad idea to make Cell think that his chances were so high. He and Gohan had spent a lot of time in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, while Cell had spent very little.
"Cell if you want to forfeit, it will be....."
"No, I'll show you that I can still beat you!" he screamed, his aura almost howling with intensity. And with a sudden burst of energy he flew at Goku with immense power, and with a powerful blow he hit him square in the jaw sending him reeling.

The amazement in everyone's eyes was apparent. Then it hit everyone who understood what was happening at the same time. Cell was still on the same level of Goku, and for once it was Goku who had gotten to overconfident about his own power.
"Daddy! You can still win this one!" Sapphire yelled, getting new faith in her father.
"C'mon Cell, show em what your made of!" added Trunx. Sapphire looked at him with a smirk, and continued cheering.

Goku wiped a small trickle of blood from his lip, and he stared in astounishment at Cell. Who he himself look astounished, thinking that he had no chance a second ago. Then Goku's astounished look become a smirk, as he realized that this wasn't going to be such a one-sided fight after all.
The battle that took place after that was indescribable literally. The two figters had just suddenly dissapeared, and only the eyes of the their families could watch their movments. After almost 20 minutes of this, the audience was looking very bored, not having seen anything for quite awhile. The annoucer was about to say something when suddenly they both reappared again, to eveyrone's amazement.
The two of thme both looked badly beaten. They were both scuffed, bleeding, and breathing heavily. They stared at each other for a long moment. They could both feel the other fighter building up his ki, and both knew the other wanted to end this fight here and now. Another silence feel over the stadium, as the two fighters seemed to vibrate with anticipation. And with a incredibly surge of energy they both charged at each other with all of their super saiyan power. Right to end it all with this monstrous collision.
When the two fighters collided a giant explosion occured. Everyone considered this due to thier collision, but this explosion was actually a little to immense even for these fighters. It rocked the entire stadium, and as the dust cleared, they saw a crater where the arena used to be. But something was wrong. The fighters were still standing, neither of them looking like they had meade contact with the other.
And actualy this was correct, for the explosion hadn't been created by the two warrior at all, but rather something had crashed right intot he middle of the arena. Both fighters stared into the dust of the object that had crashed, though their curiosity wasn't that strong, since their minds were still on the fight.
But what they saw emerge from the wreck immediately made them forget everything that had happened during the fight. And all they both could do was stare, as the survivor crawled out....
