Authors Notes: Hi! This is the rewrite of Dimensional Destiny: The Dragonball Z chapters. I found that it wasn't very well written as the other chapters, so I decided to rewrite them. I hope you readers don't mind! Also, people will be out of character at times...We aren't gifted enough to capture their personality perfectly. We apologize.
Disclaimer: We don't own Dragonball Z, Gundam Wing, or Sailor Moon. However, we own Rika, Miryo, Pota and Kenja so no touchy.

Chapter Eight: The End?
-
It was merely days before the tournament, and the teens and their mentors where training harder. The four had gotten much stronger in several areas.
-I still think you like Trunks,- Rika said to Miryo before they headed off to their separate training grounds.
- I don't. How many times do I have to tell you?-
-Hello ladies, did I just hear something interesting?- Pota grinned as he bumped into their conversation.
-Pota!-
-Sorry, but this reading minds thing is getting really fun,- Pota said joyfully as he trekked off with Kenja and Krillen.
-How rude,- Rika teased, as the group separated. Miryo flew to her training area with Trunks, as it was much faster. In the back of her mind, she kept thinking of the words Rika said.
I still think you like Trunks...
Miryo shook it off as she blocked and counterattacked Trunks.
'Okay...so he's good-looking...'
A ki blast charged towards Miryo.
'And nice...'
Miryo retaliated with her own ki blast.
'Good company...'
Miryo hurled a chain of punches at Trunks.
'He can be funny...'
Trunks blocked a good portion of them, and countered with a sharp kick.
'Kinda shy and quiet though...'
Miryo shot her signature ki blast at him, as Trunks fired a powerful ki blast to cancel it out.
'But I don't like him...'
Through the smoke, Trunks dashed at Miryo.
'And that's for sure.'
Miryo braced herself as Trunks collided into her.
"You're not concentrating today," Trunks observed as he stopped attacking.
"Just a lot of thoughts on my mind," Miryo waved it off, as the two drifted to the ground. "Sorry."
"I've noticed. You and the other three seem to be hiding some things."
"Kenja is just making inconsiderate comments."
"Really? I haven't heard any; you guys just look irritated or amused at each other."
"Right...we forgot to mention," Miryo began. "We have a telepathic link to each other. Kenja's been sending out comments to me every now and then."
As if on cue, Kenja screamed from his end, -Are you making out with Trunks now, Miryo!-
-Shut up!- Miryo growled. Trunks noticed the sudden twist in Miryo's expression.
"I'm guessing he just said something to you?"
"Yeah..."
"I'll talk to him afterwards, since this is quite distracting to your training..."
"No!" Miryo quickly objected. Trunks looked at her questioningly. "The comments he makes are about you and me, and if you say anything to him it'll get worse. I'll deal with it myself."
Miryo blushed furiously when she realized what she had blurted out. She searched Trunks' face for any response of what she had said. Trunks had slightly turned a shade of red.
"I see..."
"Yeah, he's really immature. Let's continue training."

Rika powered up and streaked through the air towards Gohan. She began her attack with a wave of ki blasts. Gohan blocked the wave, but Rika had already swiftly flown to his back and surprised him with a kick. Rika continued her attack as Gohan opposed her assault. Gohan pinned her arms to her side, but Rika decided to slam her forehead on his. However, it was a bad idea as she was weaker than Gohan.
"Ah!" Rika cried out in pain, stumbling back, her head throbbing.
"You okay?" Gohan asked as he moved her hand from her head. A small trickle of blood made its way down her forehead. "You should go get Miryo to heal you."
Rika considered it, but decided against it as she was determined that a small wound would not stop her from her training. "No, let's keep going!'
-
"Solid Tiger Terrain!" Kenja shouted and fired his unique ki blast. Krillen easily deflected the attack with a sweep of his arm, and the ki blast hurtled towards Pota.
"Whoa!" Pota bent backwards, with amazing flexibility, as the blast missed by an inch.
While Kenja and Krillen targeted each other, Pota flew up into the air, rubbing his still sore back, and fired a normal ki blast to separate the two. Instead, the ki blast knocked Kenja a few steps back. Pota flew down to take over for Kenja.
"Hey! Not fair!" Krillen yelled as Kenja attacked him from behind as he sparred with Pota.
"You volunteered to train us both," Pota reminded him as the duo simultaneously attacked him.
"What was I thinking!"
"We sure don't know!" Kenja laughed as he jumped in front of Krillen and kicked Pota into a nearby tree. "That's what you get for ki blasting me!"
-
"Ugh..."
Rika's head was throbbing madly now, and was having trouble seeing.
"Rika, let's go and see if Miryo can heal you, alright?" Gohan said as he flew by Rika to help her stand properly. "You can't continue training like this."
"I'm fine, I'm fine," Rika slid to the ground as Gohan picked her up again. "Okay, maybe not."
"It's almost lunch time anyways," Gohan said as he helped Rika fly over to Miryo and Trunks' training area.
"Rika! What happened?" Miryo said, surprised as she stopped sparring with Trunks and zoomed by to the injured blonde.
"I smashed my head on his...and it hurt," Rika lightly laughed as Miryo began to heal her. "Thanks, my head ache is finally gone."
"Well, let's head for lunch," Gohan said as Rika carefully rubbed her healed head.
"Wait," Trunks paused, looking around. "Gohan, do you feel that?"
Gohan stopped as he surveyed the area. "Whoa...the hell...?"
Rika and Miryo looked around, bewildered. They sensed a ki that flickered from low to high irregularly.
"No...!"
Gohan and Trunks turned to face the nightmare they never thought they'd see again.
Cell.
-
"Hey, it's lunch!" Krillen announced to the sparring duo.
"Alright!" Pota cheered as he flew at top speed towards Capsule Corp., abandoning Kenja and Krillen.
"Hey! Wait for us!" Kenja took flight with Krillen and tried to catch up with the hungry teen.
As the two entered the kitchen, both Vegeta and Pota were busy eating away, with dishes piling up by the second.
"Hey, where are the others?" Krillen wondered as he noticed the others had not arrived. They were usually the last ones to reach the table, since their training area was the furthest.
"No idea, should we look for them?" Kenja asked.
"I think so," Krillen nodded. "Something might be wrong."
"No way, you guys go ahead. I'm hungry!" Pota wolfed down the lunch as he went for more.
Krillen and Kenja sighed and flew off to Miryo and Trunks' training area, since it was the closest. As they neared it, they felt a flickering ki and saw explosions and smoke.
"That's not good..." Krillen ripped through the air to the scene as another portion of the land exploded, leaving Kenja struggling to catch up.
-
Rika and Miryo were stowed away in a distant bush as they observed the heated battle. Gohan had yelled at the two to make a run for it as the green bug-like creature appeared.
"That's Cell? I thought they defeated him," Miryo stared at the scene.
"Apparently not," Rika said. Suddenly, she felt Kenja and Krillen's ki near the clash. "Oh crap, Kenja is heading this way."
-Kenja!- Rika screamed.
-Ow, what was that for?-
-Tell Krillen that Cell is back, and head for the bushes!-
-Cell? Isn't he –-
-Hurry up and tell Krillen!-
"Cell's back," Kenja relayed the message to Krillen as they edged closer to the explosions.
"Cell? What? How do you –"
"Rika and Miryo are down there hiding, and I'm guessing Trunks and Gohan are fighting. Rika told me that this "Cell" was back," Kenja explained. Krillen raised an eyebrow in question as Kenja mentioned Rika telling him. "Uh, we're all telepathically connected. And she told me to head for the bushes."
"If it is Cell, you'd better. Go hide!" Krillen darted into the smoking area as Kenja was left alone in the air, ignoring the little fact Kenja presented about their telepathic connection.
"Cell!" Krillen shouted, aghast as he saw the green creature Gohan had defeated before. He sensed the odd ki signature, and realized Cell was much weaker than before. "How the hell!"
Cell laughed. "I was lucky, and met up with a certain someone who helped me. Now I can take my revenge, and destroy this pitiful world!"
"You killed my father, I won't forgive you!" Gohan yelled as he powered up to the next stage from super Saiyan one. He launched himself at Cell, but he disappeared. "Huh?"
Cell reappeared in the bushes from afar, and took the closest girl to him – Rika. He grabbed her in a headlock, as Rika struggled for breath.
"Rika!" Miryo rapidly hurled ki blasts at Cell, careful to not hit Rika. However, Cell disappeared and reappeared behind Gohan, kicking him squarely in the jaw.
Gohan spun as his foot came in contact. Retaliating, he lunged at Cell and threw punches at him, avoiding Rika. Despite the fact that Cell was weaker, his defense was extraordinary. Using Rika as a weapon, he flung her at Trunks, who caught her. He disappeared and reappeared behind the bewildered, still-flying Kenja and grabbed him in a chokehold, diving towards the ground.
"AHHHHH!"
-
As Pota happily munched away at his food, he tried to read Vegeta's mind. Finding nothing to his interest (he found mostly thoughts of becoming more powerful than Goku); he tried to read Miryo's mind, checking to see how far he could go. He was rewarded with a stab of pain.
"Ahh!" Pota dropped his bowl, shattering it as he clutched his head.
"Pota, what's wrong?" Bulma rushed to his side. Still clutching his head, he tried to read Miryo's mind once more, and was stabbed with more pain. It was like a hurricane in his head. 'Agh, why the hell!'
"Brat, what's wrong with you?" Vegeta demanded angrily as his lunch was interrupted.
The answer suddenly hit Pota. "The others...they're...they're in trouble!"
-
Cell stopped, with Kenja inches from the ground, taunting him. He grabbed Kenja by the legs and whipped him around like a weapon.
"Ow! Fuck you!" Kenja cried out as he was flung around. "Solid Tiger Terrain!"
The ki blast hit Cell straight on, but caused merely the slightest flinch. "Foolish boy, you are too weak!"
With one hand with Kenja in a chokehold, Cell charged at Gohan, flinging punches and kicks at his once-defeater. He swung Kenja at Trunks, while he attacked Krillen with ki blasts. Still with Kenja in hand, he appeared behind Miryo and gave her a sharp kick to the back. Yelping, she stumbled forward a few feet as Cell resumed his attack on Gohan and Krillen. He flung Kenja at Krillen, knocking him over, and grabbed Rika as hostage again.
"Idiots! You can't even hurt him!" Vegeta yelled as he landed at the site. Pota landed soon after. "Let the weakling go, she can't even hurt you."
Rika struggled to breathe as Cell refused to let go, and flung ki blasts at Vegeta. Vegeta charged up to super Saiyan and retaliated with his own ki blasts. Rika screamed in pain she was used a shield.
Seeing that Vegeta wouldn't care enough to not hurt Rika, Gohan surprise-attacked Cell with Trunks, forcing Cell to release her.
Miryo quickly dashed to the pained Rika, healing the wounds Vegeta had inflicted on her.
"What an inconsiderate bastard," Rika muttered as the four hid in the nearby bushes again.
"We're useless to help," Miryo gazed at the fiery battle. "This sucks."
"KA...ME...HA...ME...HAAA!" Gohan fired a powerful blast of energy as he jumped away from Cell. Cell saw the attack tearing after him, and quickly dealt a punch to Vegeta's head and dragged him into the line of fire. Vegeta quickly powered up and dashed after Cell, as the Kamehameha tore down a cliff nearby.
"We've gotta try at least," Kenja objected as he powered up to his super human state. "Solid Tiger...Terrain!"
"This isn't going to work," Rika sighed, but charged up her attack anyway. Pota and Miryo joined in as well. The four ki blasts merged into one as it blasted through the air at Cell. Cell, upon seeing the merged ki blast, smirked. He turned as he fended off Vegeta and the others' ki blasts, and deflected the quartet's blast back at them with a simple wave of his hand.
"Bad idea!" Kenja yelped the four split in different directions in order to avoid their own attack.
"Fools," Cell kicked Vegeta in the face and smashed Krillen and Trunks together, before flying above them and fired rapid ki blasts at them.
"HOLY FRICK!" Kenja dived as Cell's attacks fell upon them as well. He managed to dodge quite a few, but was hit by eight. Miraculously, all four managed to stay conscious, though beaten up.
"That was worse than Piccolo's training," Kenja breathed deeply as Miryo tended to everyone's wounds.
The Saiyans and Krillen were doing their best to fight off the weaker Cell, but with no avail. His defense was almost impossible to let down.
As Gohan got smacked across the face with several punches from Cell, Vegeta kneed Cell hard and Trunks slashed at him with his sword, while Krillen fired rapid ki blasts. Quickly, Gohan regained his position and disappeared then reappeared behind Cell, and kicked his neck with all the strength he could muster. There was a sickening crack, but Cell was still smirking and well alive.
Angered by the arrival of the old, supposedly dead enemy, Rika's temper snapped – just as it had back at the orphanage when she yelled back at Miss Karin. "PHOENIX FLARE!"
An ear splitting screech was heard as a flaming red phoenix shot out of Rika's hands, distracting Cell. With Cell's guard down, Vegeta managed a hard series of kicks and punches to his stomach as the firebird engulfed its target with flames.
"Argh!" Cell boosted his power as the flames died away, filled with fury that he was distracted by a little girl.
"A new attack?" Pota wondered out loud, bewildered. Cell was now pounding at the Saiyans and Krillen harder than ever.
Suddenly, it clicked. The four teens simultaneously attacked with newfound power.
"Phoenix Flare!" Rika attacked again.
"Silence Dragon!" A pitch-black dragon, devoid of all sound tore through the air at the enemy out of Miryo's hands, with deadly ice shards encircling the dragon.
"Heaven's Eagle!" Pota yelled, as an eagle with blinding holy light rocketed towards Cell.
"Hell's Tiger!" Kenja yelled lastly, as a blood red tiger burst out of his hands, giving off a dark aura.
The ear splitting, blinding attacks from the quartet distracted Cell, and his guard went down. The Saiyans and Krillen fired their most powerful attacks at the distracted Cell, and hit him straight on, with the quartet's ki blasts.
"No! Not again!" Cell screamed in agony as he dissolved by the eight attacks.
The group stood, panting and disbelieving that Cell had returned, and was sent back just as quickly. Calming down, everyone slid to the ground, tired, except for the stubborn Vegeta.
"How can Cell return? We killed him before this! Yet this time, it was so much easier!" Krillen shouted, stressed. No one could come up with an answer, except Cell's own words, which seemed so unbelievable.
I was lucky, and met up with a certain someone who helped me. Now I can take my revenge, and destroy this pitiful world!
Kenja sighed as he flopped to the ground. The battle had taken a lot of energy out of him. His eyes wandered, not wanting to think of an explanation, and he noticed a large pit of mud behind Miryo near the river.
"Funny, I never noticed all that mud before."
"...mud?"
They all turned to look.
"Hey, that's not mud...it's...that's...the weird monster from the orphanage!" Pota yelled as the monster grew in size, opening its well-concealed mouth and roared. There was a sudden flash of light that blinded them, then sudden darkness.
