A Permanent Fusion Gojita meets Cell, Cell meets Gojita

"Hello there." He said in a smooth, glassy voice. Gojita stared, eyes wide in surprise. But it was soon and quickly replaced with a scowl. She hated being unpleasantly surprised.

"Who are you?" she asked, standing in a defensive position, not sure of what to make of this…this…creature! This thing was unlike anything she had seen before! But then again, so was Piccolo when she first met him. But this one took the prize for most freaky fighter! He was tall, about as tall as Goku. He was almost bug like in a way as he had green armour with black blotches, and he had black wing cases on his back…even though he didn't have any wings. His face was…pale grey…and he didn't have any ears. But he had a human like face…a very familiar face that she thought she had heard of from somewhere.

"The question is, who are you?" he asked in that airy voice again. Gojita knew it was that same arrogant voice that she and Vegeta used, and anyone else who she didn't like were not permitted to use it…and she really didn't like this guy.

"I asked first!" she snapped. "Now answer!" The man just sniggered.

"Are you sure you want to know the name of your killer?" he asked smugly. Her scowl deepened and she bared her fangs.

"No, I just wanted to know the name of the kisama I'm about to kill." He looked surprised to hear a threat so big come out of something so small. But then again, Vegeta wasn't that big either, yet he talked tall. He smirked.

"Very well," he said, pausing slightly. "My name is Cell."

Gojita almost fell out of the sky at the mention of that name. Cell! She had heard about him, Vegeta had told her all about the incident with the Jinzouningen. Her Mirai half-brother had warned the Z Senshi about the coming of the Jinzouningen, but plenty of things changed. Such as the first two Jinzouningen not being Juunana-gou and Juuhachi-gou. The said Jinzouningen being even stronger than they were made out to be. And the arrival of the most fiendish creature to ever cross their paths (though Buu was one of them…ahem!)…Cell! Vegeta had told her of what had happened, how he absorbed creatures through his tail, how he beat Piccolo into the ground, how he somehow persuaded Vegeta to let him absorb Juuhachi-gou and become 'perfect', and how the Cell Games began. She shivered just a bit before clamping down and gritting her teeth.

"Cell," she muttered. In all my life, I never thought I'd run into Cell!! Maybe Buu, or some other new threat…but Cell?? She wondered in shock. He smirked at her as she scowled at him.

"Well, now that I've told you my name, I think you should introduce yourself." Gojita gritted her teeth, contemplating whether she should tell him or not. After all, if he survived the finishing blast Gohan threw at him, he may have been spying on tousan and kaasan this whole time!! But Gojita knew a little better than that. She knew that Cells one ambition was to become perfect, the other was to avenge Dr Gero. And seeing as the first objective has been achieved, he's obviously going to complete the second one…and I don't think spying on kaasan or tousan was going to get him anywhere! Tousan trains constantly, and Cell would have to be a fool to give up his own training time to watch tousan train…or fight! She studied the creature before her. Iie, Cell has been training. It's obvious. It's all too sickeningly obvious. She straightened her back as she stood up proud and tall, arms crossed in front of her.

"My name is Gojita." She announced proudly. The Saiyan no Oujo. Daughter of Vegeta, the Saiyan no Ouji and Kakarot, the first Super Saiyan in a century! She added privately. She knew if she spouted that out before him, he'd either laugh at her or look dumbstruck. Either way, he'd still get the idea that he could use her as bait. Cell smirked at her.

"Well, Gojita, could you tell me what you are doing out here, all on your own?"

"Is it any of your business?" she snapped.

"Iie, but it wouldn't hurt to know what a child would be doing out here in the wild all alone." He said smoothly. Looking down at the glaring chibi, he could see that she somehow reminded him of Goku and Vegeta…at least, what he could remember. She was small and petit, and quite compact, and she was wearing Vegeta's famous scowl. Yet, she had Goku's black hair with his spiky bangs. Hmm…he thought. It seems that even if I don't get to fight against my desired opponents, I have a suitable substitute that resembles them.

Gojita growled at him, baring even more of her extra long canines. Those were almost like the words that Piccolo had used when he first met her too. But this time, she knew who he was. And she knew what he was like. And she had a funny feeling she knew what he was going to do to her. And she didn't like him…at all.

"If you must know," she growled. "I was going to visit someone. Why? What's a butt ugly creature like you doing out in the wild all alone?" Cell smirked.

"Well, seeing as you asked, not very politely," he added. "I was going to pay a short, sharp visit to one of my closest friends. I don't believe you've heard of him, but his name is 'Goku'."

Gojita's eyes widened in horror. He was flying over to her kaasan's house to kill him! And he isn't ready this time! Cell will squash him for sure! And with the mental state he and tousan are in, they're in no fit state to battle! Gojita knew what she had to do. Even though it was thoroughly foolish, she knew she had to stop him from reaching her kaasan. Sliding into a fighting stance, she growled threateningly at Cell.

"Not if I can help it, Jinzouningen!" she scowled. Cell looked surprised to see that she knew that he was a Jinzouningen, but he smirked at the prospect of seeing her looking ready to fight him.

"Honestly," he said, crossing his arms in front of him. "Do you really think you can fight me and live?"

"I don't know," she said. "But I won't know if I don't try." Cell chuckled at this.

"My, aren't we an optimist." He lifted his head a bit. "Still, it won't do you any good. After all, I am older and much stronger than you."

"We'll see about that!" she snapped. Gojita glared at him before lowering herself down to the ground. Cell silently followed.

"Goku!! For the tenth time of calling!!" screamed Chichi.

"Mom! Chill out!" Goten tried to console his mother. "I'm sure dad's just tired, that's all…"

"He's been asleep for more than twenty hours and you say he's tired??!!" she screeched. "Goku!! Get up now!!!"

"Mom!!" cried Gohan exasperatedly. "Calm down! Onegai! You're making Pan scared!" It was true; Pan was cowering behind her mother, trying to hide from the evil Satanist, otherwise known as Chichi. She sighed as she walked over to the couch.

"I'm sorry." She apologised. "It's just that yesterday, when he came back home, he went straight to his room." They all nodded. They knew that ever since after Buu, Goku had started sleeping in a separate room. "And it's been more than twenty hours, and he still hasn't come out."

"Hmm, I can sense your worry in that." Said Krillin. "Do you think he's okay?"

"We don't know." Answered Goten. "He's locked the door."

"Why don't you just break it down?" suggested Juuhachi-gou. Chichi huffed angrily.

"Because they won't let me!"

"Mom," whined Gohan, tired of going over it again. "We told you that you should give dad some space! He has to come out sometime!"

"Hmm…well, it had better be soon!" she snapped. "Or else I'm kicking him out of this house! I don't know what I was thinking when I asked him to marry me…" Everybody sweatdropped as she walked out the room, muttering obscenities on how he was a terrible parent.

"Jeez," muttered Juuhachi-gou. "What's up with her?"

"Oh, mom's just worried about dad."

"Yeah, and so are we." Said Krillin. "But that doesn't explain why she's so mad."

"Oh, it's not that." He said. "It's just that she couldn't get him out the room with food." Everyone in the room nearly fell out their chairs, save for the young ones who were too busy playing with each other.

"Woah! Goku turning down food!" gasped Krillin. "There's something I thought I would never hear!!" Gohan nodded.

"Hmm…I'm really worried about dad. He hasn't acted like this since…well, since five years ago!!"

"Do you think something happened to him while he was taking Gojita back?" asked Videl. Everyone was silent as they contemplated that last question.

Meanwhile, Goku lay in his blankets, not feeling any better about what had happened more than twenty hours ago now. It had been nearly a full day, and he still felt sick with guilt. If I could only somehow get away from myself…He thought sorrowfully. He kept replaying that scene over and over in his head, the one where Vegeta was screaming at him and letting it all out. It pained Goku so much to see what he had done. To see glistening crystal rivers flow down the petit jawbones of his beautiful mate. To hear the words of hate being spat out at him. To feel the pain he had caused… Goku's shoulders began to shake uncontrollably again. He couldn't help it, but at all those heart shattering thoughts, he couldn't help but cry. It was too much, even for him.

Burying his face deeper into the crumpled sheets and the already tear soaked pillow, he cried out as much tears as he thought were left. But he knew he could never shed enough.

"Vegeta…" he sobbed. "What have I done?"

Gojita stood across from Cell, eyeing the huge Jinzouningen. She knew quite a bit on Cell, as Vegeta had told her everything about him and the other evil forces they had to face. She knew he had the ability to absorb the energy and life out of one with that tail of his with the needle sharp point. She also knew that despite the fact that he wasn't as hugely built as most of the other tough warriors Vegeta talked about, he was no pushover. He had speed, and that was enough to beat strength. She glared at him when he smirked at her and crossed his arms, itching to leap across and smack that stupid grin off his face.

"Are you sure you want to go through with this?" he asked, almost sarcastically. Gojita knew that he was just testing the waters, and she knew that he wouldn't let her go even if she changed her mind. Which she sure as hell wasn't going to!

"Of course I am!" she snapped.

"Very well. But I warn you, I won't go easy on you."

"Hn. That's fine by me…because I won't either."

Gojita slid down into her fighting stance while Cell stood perfectly still, both eyeing each other and waiting for one to make the first move. Gojita knew that she had to get in the first hit. She could take out Cell easily with one well placed punched at her max, but she also knew that should Cell recover from that, he'd power up to his own max. And she didn't want to give away the game. Yes, she wanted to show him that she could fight, and that she could kick his exoskeleton ass. But she still wanted him to think of her as inferior compared to him.

Right! This is where everything I've learnt is going to come into action. All the years of training I've done under tousan and Piccolo, all the techniques I've learnt and acquired and all the experience I've gained is gonna be used in this battle! She thought. I can't get away and tell kaasan and tousan that Cell is still alive, as he won't let me. But…I can't run from an opponent. Not when their lives are at stake! I have to hold him off from kaasan and tousan, I have to!! She held no place for argument in herself. She was going to take out Cell, for Goku and Vegeta's sake.

That was it. Gojita lifted her heel just a notch, and then went at Cell. Strangely enough, her blow seemed to have an effect on him. He flew across the ground and *bang* into a bunch of boulders. But even though she was surprised, she maintained her fighting composure, because she knew why she got such a successful hit. Cell obviously wasn't expecting someone as small and young as her to have such power. He didn't know that she was a pure saiyan chibi. If he did, he may not have been so lenient.

Cell pulled himself out from the rubble, wincing slightly from the pain. What in the fuck…??!! He cursed as he bent down on his one knee. How in the hell did she do that??! Cell lifted his head to see the scowling chibi. He took that time the try and analyse what had just happened. That brat just kicked me square in the jaw!! How the fuck did she do that??!…Where did she get her power from??! He stared at her for a few moments, gathering information about her appearance that might be a clue to solving his dilemma. He could see nothing that told him that she was a little warrior. I knew I should never have underestimated her! She was flying through the air at a relatively fast speed…how many chibis can do that??! He stared some more. All he could tell from her was that she was small and compactly built, like Vegeta. She also had his copper skin and his fiery temper. Wait a minute…he thought in realisation as a grin crept up on his face. Yes…that's where she's getting her powers from! She's Vegeta's second brat! Curious, though, as to that she's much stronger than Trunks… Cell knew he was right on the fact that she was Vegeta's daughter. What he had no clue to was that Goku was her kaasan.

He sniggered as he stood up to his full height, staring at Gojita as she stood dead still in her offensive stance.

"Pretty impressive." He commented. "I must say, for a chibi so small, you can sure pack a punch."

"Haven't you heard the phrase 'Dynamite comes in small packages'?" she sneered. He sniggered some more.

"It seems I have underestimated you, Gojita." He said. "No matter, I will not do it again."

"Not if I can help it." She muttered to herself. "Now show me what you've got!"

"Very well." He smirked. With that, he stepped into his fighting stance and started to power up.

Gojita stood her ground as his power level rose at a rapid pace. It was nothing she couldn't handle, she knew it. But even though she was cool, calm and collected on the outside, inside was nervousness. She knew that in training, Vegeta and Piccolo never went easy on her. But they never fought her at their max either. They never did have a brutal and ghastly fight that left her beaten and even more determined to get stronger. And that was what worried her; that she hadn't experienced a life and death situation before and now she would be unprepared. But this was her life and death situation…against Cell! But she knew she would do her absolute best to defeat Cell. She knew as soon as he had mentioned his name, there was no room for stupid mistakes. Cell's power climbed even higher, until he stopped at a point where it matched Vegeta's when he trained her. Gojita hadn't taken her eyes off him at all.

"Well now," he said cockily. "Are you really sure you want to face me?"

"Of course," she said, frown deepening. "What made you think I was going to change my mind?" He just sniggered.

"Oh, you will. After I've pummelled you into the ground." She growled, baring her teeth. She knew she had been doing a lot of that lately, but it was her way (or at least, the saiyan instinct) to try and deter the enemy.

"The only person doing the pummelling here, Jinzouningen, is me!" she snapped.

"We shall see." He smirked. "So tell me, Gojita…are you ready to battle the universe's most perfect being?"

"When I meet him, then I'll tell you." She remarked wittily. Cell looked like he was going to burst a blood vessel in his head, but he still wore that same, irritating smirk.

"That's right, be as witty as you like. I can guarantee that it'll be the last thing you do."

"We'll see about that, won't we, Jinzouningen?"

They stood opposite each other for a while, waiting patiently for the other to make the first move. Or at least, until the other is so focused on the other, they won't see the attack coming. Gojita had learnt that you should never take your eyes off your enemy. And when they disappear from sight, you vamoose from that spot and find them. This was no different. Her tousan had often used the method of faking an attack from the front, disappearing, and then getting her from the behind. Cell would most likely do the same.

Gojita stared at Cell, searching into his face for some sign of fault. Come on, Cell! She yelled at him in her head. Drop your guard just for one minute! A minute is all I need to get in a few good shots to get the upperhand! She stood dead still, the concentration not leaving from her eyes, even though she was having a whole conversation in her head. Kuso! Why does this have to happen to me? Haven't I got enough problems already, hurting kaasan and tousan even more than they were before?! Kisama!! And I don't even know if what he's powered up to is his full potential!! I know that I still have quite a way to go before I hit my max. Then, she remembered something. Chottomate kudasai! Tousan said that when he fought Cell, he was in SSJ1 mode! Even though Cell managed to beat that, with all the training he's done…he said he could beat Cell in SSJ1! Maybe I can do the same…no! I'll wait and see. I know I don't have the slightest chance of beating Cell in my present mode, but I have to try!

Cell stared down at the chibi, grinning very evilly. Yes! It seems that I will have my revenge after all. Once I'm done taking Vegeta's daughter out, Vegeta will most likely go mad with grief! He'll come after me, alone, and try to defeat me out of rage. That'll then be the perfect opportunity to destroy him once and for all! His grin broadened. The revenge of Dr Gero is at hand.

Then, he noticed that there was a lack of concentration in her eyes. It was only for a nanosecond, but that was all he needed to get him going. Cell pivoted on his heel and went flying at her, fist first. Gojita could see it coming and prepared to dodge out the way.

The battle had begun.
