Chapter 7:  Only a Level One?

            It seemed like an eternity for Gohan's body invader.  He wondered how much longer it would take Goku to instant transmit himself and Vegeta to the cold regions of Siberia.  Cell closed his eyes and started to take in the energy patterns around him.  There were human energy signatures to the northwest, a city.  Hovering in the air, he felt snow mammals below hiding in the ice, as if they knew what Cell had planed for the pair of ascended Super Saiyans.  Cell opened his eyes and looked down at a frozen pool of water.  He could see the reflection of the body he had taken over and smiled. 

            "Now I am the perfect being.  I will take my place again as the most powerful being in the universe."  Goku and Vegeta finally appeared in front of Cell.

            "Ok Cell!" Vegeta shouted.  "Where are our sons?!  Or is this some way to delay your death by me?!"

            "You would stand by and let your oldest son be killed Goku?"  Cell asked with a clam, sarcastic voice.

            "Yes," Goku answered, "The last thing Gohan would want is to be used by you to carry out your evil deeds.  I'm sure he would rather us kill him than to let that happen."

            "Fine then," he responded, "But I'm not the one who's going to die."

            Cell instant transmitted behind Vegeta and kneed him in the crouch, however the Saiyan prince ignored the pain and punched Cell in the face.  Goku super speeded behind Cell and kicked him in the spine.  Vegeta dived for Cell and kicked him in the gut.  Cell flew upwards into the air followed by the pair.  The android stopped and fired a barrage of energy blast at them.  Most of them were evaded.  Vegeta super speeded behind Cell, clamed his hands together, and pounded Cell to the snow covered ground.  Both ascended Super Saiyans landed several feet from Cell.

            "Now, Cell," Vegeta started, "Tell us where to find our sons if you want to die painlessly."  Seconds passed before Cell got up from the snow and turned around to face his adversaries.

            "Now that, my friends, was a freebie."  Both Saiyans put on annoyed faces.  "I let you have that round.  You are now ascended Super Saiyans, and that's not fair.  Let's even the odds."

            Cell started to glow and his hair started to change.  Vegeta and Goku stood still, believing he would only transform into the first level.  As Cell was transforming, Goku started to sense too powerful of an energy.

            "What the?  What is this?  Gohan could never generate this much energy from transforming to the first level.  It can't be!  No Super Saiyan can do that without ascending to the next level."

            Vegeta took the whole thing by shock as Cell's energy continued to grow with no signs of stopping.  The snow started to melt when Cell yelled out and powered up to an even greater level of power.  The ground started to shake, and the pool of water, which was now miles from their position, melted and formed a pond.  The ground spontaneously combusted around both Saiyans, who covered their eyes from a blinding flash.  The once snow covered field they were in was now a burned environment.  Both of them uncovered their eyes and looked at Cell. 

            "No!" Vegeta thought.  "This can't be.  His power is even greater that that of all of us."

            Cell stood smiling as the energy he generated continue to skyrocket.  Vegeta stood with his mouth gapping open.  While Cell's power seemed more like a second level, he was still clearly only at the first level.

            "Now," Cell broke the five-second silence with, "let's begin round two."

            The space pod that held the two young Saiyans was making its way back to earth while the passengers were working on a way to help their fathers.

            "So what do you think we should do Trunks?" Goten asked in the bathroom.

            "I'm thinking.  Darn it Goten.  What is with you and going to the bathroom?"

            "Sorry, I drank a lot of water last night, remember."

            Trunks was leaning on the wall thinking on a plan of action.  He had already considered using the Dragon Balls to wish Cell out of Gohan's body, but Goten had told him about the time his brother told them about the wish Oolong had attempted to use to kill the Saiyans that were coming to earth.  If they were too powerful to kill at that time, the Dragon certainly could not extract Cell from Gohan's body, even with its enhanced strength with Dende. 

            "Come one," Goten said coming out of the bathroom, "There has to be someway we can fight Cell."

            "Goten!  Trunks!" A voice in both of there heads yelled. 

            "Did you hear that?" Trunks asked his friend.

            "Yeah."

            "Good.  I'm not going crazy then."

            "Do you think we're both going crazy?"

            "Nobody's going crazy.  I am King Ki."

            "King Pie?" Trunks asked.  "What the heck is a King Pie?"

            "Ki!  Ki!  My name is King Ki!"

            "Hey.  You the one dad talks about sometimes," Goten said.

            "You mean you're the one that Cell blow up along with Goku?"

            "Yes.  Yes.  I'm talking to you via telepathy.  I'm just glad I found you."

            "Well what do you want?  Do you know what's happening on earth?" Trunks asked the Northern Ki.

            "Your fathers are in a fierce battle with Cell, and they will need your help."

            "We know.  But, how?" Goten questioned.  "He's a lot stronger than us."

            "Maybe alone, but I know a technique that might help.  Goten, your father knows this technique, but he can't use it right now.  You also know this technique, but you've been made to forget it."

            "What are you talking about?" Trunks asked.  "What technique?"

            "Fusion."

            "You mean, like when things get put together."

            "Yes, except you two will fuse."

            "How can we do that?  If we know it…"

            "Don't worry about that.  I will bring it out from you minds.  Just hold still and relax your minds."

            Both of them faced at each other and gave a "might as well" look.  They closed their eyes and waited for King Ki to do his work.  King Ki did his best not to bring back any recollection of Majin Buu and revived their memory of fusion. 

            "So that's what it is."  Trunks said.

            "Ok.  You'll be back on earth in about an hour and a half at your rate so practice it once so you'll get it right when you fight Cell."

            The young Saiyans looked at each other and stood with there sides parallel.  Both of them extended their arms into the opposite direction of the other. 

            "Fuuuuu…"

            As they sidestepped towards each other, they brought their arms to a single position where Goten's left hand and Trunks's right were touching each other. 

            "…sion!"

            They brought their arms back out from each other and stood on one foot with the other parallel to the floor. 

            "HA!"

            There feet came to the floor with both of them leaning towards each other.  Their arms were brought towards the point again with one arm over the head and below.  Both of them touched the others index finger tips, and a flash of light emitted from their bodies.  After it dimmed, the figure of Gotenks stood where the two had been.  The vested fusion warrior pored out energy as if it was nothing.  His hair was half black and half lavender, and he only had on a purple and yellow vest, white puffy pants, and blue and black boots.  It had only one thing to say for itself.

            "A star is born."
