Static. "You are… Demonic one… Obey… Destroy our enemies." Static. "You are…" Static. "You are my servant… Made in the image of the demonic one who attacked me… I created you… you will only obey me. My victory is your only goal! You will destroy our enemies, anyone who rejects the Word of Apocalypse… Beyond any mortal… Rise, Cyber-Gouki!"
Loud static. "Devil's offer." Static. "If Apocalypse could see you now…" Static. "I have no idea where your old boss is, buddy… My boss wants to hire you for something." Static. "Malebogia wants to hire you for something. You may not realise it, but you're human half is dead. No life. No soul. A dead 'mecha' clone of Akuma. You don't even have a heart beat… I like that in a man…" Minor static. "Ryu, Cyclops, Wolverine, Chun Li, Sakura, Spiderman, Ken… Besides being able to kill them as you see fit, how about… a soul to live out as you wish. And not be a slave, but as a member of Malebogia's army as well." Static lessens and audio gets louder, "… Are you tempted the Devil's offer?"
Shin Magneto and Shin Bison observe the Shadowlaw army construct a monstrous machine from a control room overlooking an enormous construction area. The machine is not a sentinel but it obviously used as an offensive and defensive weapon. Over fifty feet tall while it's crouching, it'll be an even bigger giant when it's standing.
Magneto turns around and walks towards a seemingly bare wall. "Where are you going now?"
Magneto stops and says, "Onslaught has demanded that we returned every twelve hours. It is time to go back."
"He just wants to make sure that we're doing as he says. I'm staying here to keep an eye on the prototype."
"He's not going to be pleased." Magneto continues walking towards the wall. Just as he is about to hit, a portal becomes visible and he simply walks through it.
Bison growls at the reality that he is no longer the boss. He looks back down at his mechanics. His body lifts up as he uses his Psycho Power to float in the air. Then he teleports from the control room and into the construction area, he remains floating the air and yells down at his men.
While the control room is empty, a figure uses stealth to sneak into the room. It's Akuma, looking for an opponent. He is attracted to Bison's Dark Hadou, it feels similar to Ryu's but bigger and changing. He continues to stare at him while keeping himself unseen by Shadowlaw troopers.
When he gets halfway across the room, he senses something behind him. He turns around to the bare wall, something is attracting him to it. He walks over to it but can't understand why it is so concentrated at this one stop. But there is someone very strong close by, a worthy opponent to battle to the death one-on-one. He feels the wall and the transparent portal appears on the wall.
Bison suddenly senses something during his conversation with the lead engineer. He turns his head to the control room windows. He quickly dismisses it as the portal's presence and turns back to the engineer who didn't stop his report status, but Bison's Dark Hadou begins to enrage itself and raises Bison's anger and frustration.
The room is empty…
Trunks rests against a tree that grows on the edge of a clearing. Since they entered the period of time that has been called the Danger Zone, everyone has been put on watch duty, looking for anything unusual. It is now late afternoon but the sky is very cloudy, letting barely any light hit the ground.
Sakura and Mugena run up a small hill a few feet away from Trunks. They don't see him at first, but it doesn't take them long to find him. "Boy, don't you look relaxed," comments Mugena.
Trunks opens his eyes and looks up at the sky, "I can't relax."
The two girls come down to him. "Why? Too much on your mind?" asks Sakura.
"Sorta." He sits up and turns to them, "Is it time to switch off already?"
"In a few minutes."
"I'll stay out here for a little while more."
"So… What was on your mind?" asks Mugena.
Trunks sighs, "Mostly home, I guess. I've been thinking about a few things."
"Are you going to go home when this is all done?"
"We're not sure. Unless they discover a way to travel between parallel ultimate times, this is a one-way trip."
"Parallel…. Ultimate time?!" says Mugena.
"Ultimate time is time inside MUGEN. By coming back, we've changed it. If we go forward, it will only be to the events that are happening now."
Mugena gets a headache from the explanation and falls to the ground on her butt, rubbing her head to lessen the ache. "So you're stuck here?" asks Sakura.
"… Yes."
"And you willingly left knowing that you would be stuck here?!" shouts Mugena in frustration. "I mean, even the original future Trunks was able to back to his time."
"That happened based on his dimension's physics. It can also be believed that that Trunks time-travelled based on a frequency, which always him to back and forth to his time." Mugena falls onto her back in even more frustration.
"Who did you leave behind?" asks Sakura.
"I can't answer that."
"Do you know any other versions of me?"
"I can't answer that."
Mugena sits back up, "But you were allowed to say that we died!"
"It has been shown that your path has changed. Right now, it is back to being unknown what will happen." Trunks suddenly notices something out of the corner of his eye, "Huh?"
Sakura and Mugena turn to where Trunks was looking. In the trees on the other side of the clearing is a shadowy figure trying to hide in the shadows of the trees. His cape, which waves a little by a breeze, is what gives him.
"Spawn?" says Mugena.
"How long do you think he was there?" asks Sakura.
"He probably heard us talking," replies Trunks. Spawn turns around and walks into the trees, "I wonder why he's still here."
"Maybe we should see if he wants to join us," suggest Sakura.
Mugena's jaw drops. "He almost killed you!"
"I doubt he wants to join us," says Trunks. "He's a loner. He trusts no one and, in turn, we shouldn't trust him fully."
Static. "You know what to do." Static.
Magneto walks up to his master who stands on the rooftop, facing inland to where he thinks Raiden and his men are. "Report!" commands Xavier.
Magneto quickly bows and rises back up. "Everything is coming along as planned."
"And the sentinels?"
"Our sentinels, sir?"
Xavier turns around to him, "Of course."
"We have decided to move away from the sentinel program and to other military combat vehicles."
"For his men, no doubt."
"No, sir. All units in production don't require a pilot to operate."
"Where did you get the equipment for the prototype?"
"Some military base from a different reality. Bison discovered it, I don't where he got it or what they are called."
Xavier pauses for a second. "Where is Bison anyway."
"Right here," says Bison as he floats down from the sky behind Magneto. "Didn't think I would make it time?"
Xavier grins, "You are always late." Bison looks at him awkwardly, "What's wrong with you, Bison?"
Bison doesn't respond. Magneto speaks up, "I believe the Dark Hadou is building up inside of us. It ruins our concentration and we seem to be pulled towards… something."
Xavier turns back to the forest, "That teenage girl's Dark Hadou must be calling for you to fight her, it is only the Hadou's nature to fight. When was the last you used the Dark Hadou as a weapon?"
Akuma looks up at them from a tree branch hidden from view, the androids don't seem to notice him.
"It has been awhile," replies Magneto.
Suddenly, Bison and Magneto's heads turn towards the forest at something. Akuma's head turns in the same direction simultaneously. Xavier can also feel it but it's not as strong to him as to the others.
Sakura suddenly falls to her knees and groans in pain. "Sakura?!" says Mugena.
Trunks quickly rises to his feet, knowing what was happening. "I'll go get help." He jumps into the air and flies towards their camp, flies low along the treetops.
Xavier turns back to his two men, they inch their way towards the forest. He understands the Dark Hadou is calling them to fight but why can they sense it. His thoughts quickly change to who or what maybe causing this.
He turns to Bison and Magneto who continue to stare into the horizon. "Go!" Only Magneto turns to him, "Go destroy who or whatever is doing this to you. Put that Dark Hadou to use for me."
Magneto and Bison bows, "Yes, my Lord." Magneto still obeys Onslaught's Word, Bison just follows to his own liking. They fly off the castle roof and fly over the forest, towards the source of the Dark Hadou.
Instead of watching his men leave, Xavier looks down at the lower edges of the castle. The trees move in the wind but there is nothing out of the ordinary. But he knows that they was someone down there.
A few minutes later, Trunks rushes back to the spot with Ryu, Ken, Spiderman, and MegaMan. Mugena is alone and holds her bruised arm.
"Where's Sakura?" asks Ryu when he comes up to her.
Mugena turns to the group. "She took off!" she says with some anger.
"Where?!"
Mugena points with her other arm. "She transformed and went that way."
"Oh crap!" says Trunks as he pulls out a communicating device. He turns it on, "Cable. It's happening."
"What is happening?" asks Ken.
"Are you sure?" asks Cable over the communicator.
Trunks replies, "It looks like it. She has taken off on a heading of fifty-three degrees from our position."
Cable pauses for a second to think. "But there is nothing in that direction."
"Maybe now there is. If we need help, we'll contact you." Trunks runs in the direction that Mugena pointed, soon everyone follows him.
Spiderman catches up to just behind Trunks, "What is this all about?"
"If I tell you, will you keep the questions small?"
"Okay," replies MegaMan.
"Well, it's going to be hard to believe. But we think Akuma is near."
"And what is so hard to believe about that?" asks Ryu.
"Fujin, our Fujin, told us that during this war, Akuma came to fight the strongest fighters. Fujin was unable to prove that he had killed any of you, but there is proof that he did kill Magneto and Bison."
"WHAT!?" yells Ken.
"Akuma killed Magneto and Bison before he challenged Onslaught. He didn't make it beyond that. But time has changed and we are only given clues to what may come. What if Sakura wasn't there when Akuma, Magneto, and Bison fought? It could become entirely different than what is about to occur."
"Why do you talk like that?" asks Mugena.
"Maybe that's why they chose me to come here… Because I understand."
They continue to run through the trees.
Dark Sakura runs out of the trees and into a tall-grass field. She runs towards the middle and loses her sense of direction, confusing her entirely.
The Clown climbs up a tree and sits on the crotch of the tree, which is only six feet from the ground. When he gets comfortable, he pulls out a popcorn bag full of bugs and says, "This is going to be good."
Sakura's attention suddenly turns to the sky, where two objects can be seen coming towards her. She gets ready to fight.
In the sky, Bison and Magneto see Sakura and head towards her. They also notice that the Dark Hadou they had sensed has either shrunk or disappeared. But Sakura's Hadou is now quite noticeable.
The two Shins land in the grass, without turning away from her. While they stare at her, Sakura goes into her fighting stance, possibly indicating that she wants to take on both of them. All three begin to build up their Dark Hadou.
The Clown flips a beetle in the air and catches it in his mouth. It crunches loudly as he chews it.
Sakura charges in at them and Magneto and Bison do soon after. They collide and attack each other in a rage.
Trunks and the group run out of the trees and stop on the edge of the field. They instantly notice Sakura fighting Bison and Magneto. But what Trunks notices soon after that there is no sign of Akuma. Could what was told to him be wrong?
Mugena stretches out her sore shoulder, "Do you want me to go help her?"
"How?" asks Spiderman. "Once they see us, they will probably come after us."
Mugena's body gives off a bright flash as she transforms into a pink-hair Sakura. "I can use the Dark Hadou without it affecting me," she says as her body tans and eyes redden slightly to her eye colour. She stays like that for a second and changes back.
"Yeah, but then you'll just be giving them a new target, all of them," says MegaMan.
They hear something behind them. They turn around and see Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo landing just behind them.
"Why are you here?" asks Trunks.
"Cable sent us," replies Piccolo. "A few of the others are coming behind us."
"I thought I told him I would tell him when and if I needed backup." All of them turn to the three fighters and watch them battle, without an idea of how to help.
A few seconds later, Chun Li, Captain America, and the six Sailor Scouts run up behind the group and watch with them.
"We have to do something," says Goku.
"Shh!" Everyone in the group turns to a tree a couple dozen yards away. The Clown continues to each his bag of bugs, "Some of us trying to watch the match!"
A few of them are grossed out by his appearance, not to mention his still-living food. "Who are you?!" questions Ryu. "Are you responsible for this?!"
The Clown crunches on another bug and smiles at them.
"He's gross," says Sailor Moon in a whisper as he flips another beetle into his mouth. He crunches it loudly and tosses the bag at them. Sailors Moon and Mini Moon shriek as the bugs spill out on the group, the other Scouts just recoil silently.
Ryu yells at him, "Are you the cause of this or are you not?!"
The Clown hushes them again and then says, "The main event is about to start."
Meanwhile, Magneto and Bison have the upper hand over Sakura. They kick her away and prepare to finish her, until they felt something from around them. They search around for it and eventually find it.
Cyber-Gouki slowly descends from the sky with two large, metal wings and lands on the grass, igniting it a little. Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, Captain America, and Spiderman are shocked to an old foe brought back from the dead. Cyber-Gouki is now down to two arms, one large mechanical arm and one robotic arm. A new metal coat is covering all of his seriously decayed spots, but some of his head still shows his zombie-like face.
Trunks gasps, "Is that … Akuma?!"
"No," replies the Clown as he lies back onto one of the split trunks. "You should have read the match card. That's the new general of the Great Malebogia's army, Cyber-Gouki."
"Gouki?!" says Ken.
"In a different reality, Akuma is called Gouki," says Trunks. "You're a demon, aren't you?"
"Gee, what gave that away?" says the Clown.
Meanwhile, Sakura, Bison, and Magneto stare at the newcomer. Cyber-Gouki's bionic eye examines each of them. Sakura suddenly bolts out of her spot and charges at Gouki. But Gouki charges from his spot, disappears, and reappears on the other side of Sakura, who falls to the ground extremely hard. Ryu and a few others gasp at the strong, invisible attack.
Bison and Magneto immediately charge in at him while his guard is down. When Gouki turns around to face them, the two strike him with a bang and a cloud of smoke. They turn around to face Gouki to attack again. To everyone's surprise, Cyber-Gouki is staring at the two Shins without a sign of a scratch.
Cyber-Gouki's bionic eye glows red and he rushes in at them fast. When he collides with them, they fly off into the distance at the same speed but Gouki's now stopped.
Ryu runs out to Sakura, who is knocked out and back to her normal self. He kneels down to her side and tries to wake her, "Come on, Sakura." He turns his head up and sees that Gouki is staring down at him.
Static. Several images of Marvel and Street Fighter characters fill Gouki's corrupted memory banks. "Dreams [static] will never die!" yells Cyclops voice. "Let's do it," yells Ryu's voice. The voices begin to warp, "Shinku Hadou [Static]."
Cyber-Gouki stares at Ryu in anger while Ryu tries to predict what is to come by Gouki's rotten face's expressions. Gouki waves for Ryu to stand up, "Get up and fight me!" he commands.
Ryu stands up, "Why do you want to fight me? I don't have the Dark Hadou."
"You didn't need it to stop me before," he replies. Gouki gets ready to power up, but then he senses something else, as does Ryu.
Everyone turns to where the two were looking. On the edge of the field is Akuma, with his head down in the shadows, his eyes glowing red.
"Look! There's another one!" says Gohan for the small group he was in.
Ryu looks at him, Why is he here?! he thinks.
A staticy image forms in Cyber-Gouki's head where a normal Gouki stares down at him from a structure. "Gouki, enemy of Apocalypse. Caused failed first attempt! I will honour my creator and destroy you first!"
Akuma walks out towards him, "I am Akuma. And if you want to fight me this time, you better show no mercy … because I want a battle worth fighting!"
While Akuma approaches Gouki, Ryu picks up Sakura and carries her back to the group. Bison and Magneto appear in the air on the other side of the field, watching what was happening.
Akuma begins to build his chi and creates a spiritual flame around himself. Gouki then goes into an identical pose and powers up. A wind flows from around the field and flows into the two
"I better get ready," says MegaMan. "Buster mode change," his body armour begins to change colour. "… the Fire Buster!" MegaMan is now red and orange (Mars's powerup).
Akuma and Gouki begin to reach their peaks, Gouki begins to swarm with electrical energy and Akuma's Dark Hadou shows even more of a presence by darkening his skin and reddening his eyes. Suddenly, Akuma stops his foot on the ground, causing a minor earthquake and making his body look like a shadow for a second, he's now Shin Akuma. Soon after, Gouki stomps his foot identically, but instead shows his two other robotic, two rotting human arms, and his wings, which all retreat into his body soon after. Both stomps cause the grass to ignite further and create small flames, but not enough to catch on fire . The Clown chuckles evilly at the change of events.
Akuma and Gouki run in at each other and collide for a test of strength, Akuma in his chi energy flame and Gouki in his electrical energy. They soon break apart and charge at each other at invisible speeds and ricochet off each other with each attack.
While the two fight, Bison and Magneto float down to the group. "Hand her over to us!" demands Magneto to Ryu who is still holding Sakura.
Trunks steps in front, "You are not going to take her. We will never surrender one of our own to you."
"I suggest you do as you're told," says a familiar voice. Everyone turns their heads upward and see two beings floating above them, Demitri and Cell. "Any way that you chose will not succeed pass us," says Demitri as they descend towards them.
Sakura-Mugena steps forward, "If you want a Sakura, then why don't try to take me instead." Cell whips his arm and points his finger at her, firing a narrow energy beam at her. It just missing Mugena when she tries to avoid it. "HEY!"
Cell and Demitri land on opposite sides of the two Shins. Cell turns his head to the conflict behind him, Akuma and Gouki disappear and reappear all over the field. While the two sides have their staredown, Trunks secretly turns on his communicator.
"Why are they here?" says Trunks. "Do you think that you ready need back up for this?"
Bison is confused by the choice of words. "We are only here to make sure that our side gets the better end," says Cell. The Clown laughs quietly at the remarks, making his presence known to everyone now.
"I doubt that you four can take on all of us," says Captain America.
"I can quickly even the odds if you wish," taunts Cell.
"Enough yakking, start fighting!" says the Clown.
"And whose side are you on?" questions Bison.
The Clown chuckles again, "I'm on the winning team." He remains perched in his tree. A stray fireball hits a neighbouring tree, he doesn't even flinch at it.
"This is your last warning," says Magneto, "Hand her over!" The Earth fighters go into their fighter stances. Ryu hands Sakura to Chun Li who takes her to the back of the group. Goku and Gohan power up to their Super Saiyan forms.
Bison and Magneto take a step towards them, MegaMan instinctively fires his Buster at them, unleashing a stream of intense heat and flame. The four villains quickly dodge the attack, Cell disappears from sight. Goku, Piccolo, and Goku disappear as they move at a fast speed and the other rush in at Bison, Magneto, and Demitri.
Gouki and Akuma both attempt to do a shungokusatsu on each other, but end up trying to land a punch while the other dodges. The intense speed causes the fire to spread to areas of the field.
Cell manages to counter each attack by the three Z-fighters with an attack of his own. Down below, the fight is similar except that it isn't airborne and there is a greater handicap.
Magneto performs a new move of his own, the Magnetic Tornado. The fighters around him are lifted off the ground and thrown around inside before flying out of it.
Bison does a new attack as well, Mirror Image, which is similar to one of Morrigan's moves. Four identical Bison duplicates surround Trunks, Captain America, and Sailors Venus and Jupiter. Each Bison takes one opponent and battles them for a few seconds before the Bison grabs them, pulls them away at a high speed, and charges back in. All four Bisons disappear before the collision and the four Earth fighters collide hard, the real Bison materialises above them but they're not ready to give up just yet.
Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, and Spiderman gang up on Demitri but his teleportation ability gives him the advantage and, at tense moments, transforms into his demon form and attacks at full force.
When Sakura's body become unguarded, a fighter will try to stop the villain if one was approaching her. Sakura slowly wakes up to the sound of approaching footsteps. Soon after she wakes up fully, Cable, B.B.Hood, Morrigan, Adult Gohan, Kirby, and Pikachu are all standing beside her. The X-Men, IronMan, WarMachine, the MK fighters, the Turtles, Kung Fu Man, the two Gods, and Vegeta are the only ones not present.
Magneto, Bison, Demitri, and Cell back away from their fights for a moment.
"Hey!" yells B.B.Hood, "How can you be out in the day?! I thought you were a vampire!"
"He's a Daywalker?!" whispers Trunks to Cable.
Demitri looks around the sky and back at her, "With no sun to harm me, I can survive but my victims are a different story."
Cell chuckles and says, "I guess it's time that I even things up at bit. The four of us against about twenty of you is a little bit unfair." Cell spreads his wings apart and extends his tail out slightly.
"Oh no!" yells Adult Gohan.
Even the three Dark fighters are surprised by what they are witnessing as several bluish beings slide out of opening on Cell's tail.
"Those things again!" says Piccolo.
"What are they?" asks Cable.
"Cell Juniors!" replies Teen Gohan from a different area.
Over ten Cell Juniors have popped out of Cell and stretch out their newly formed bodies. Each one chuckles an evil laugh when they see the nervous fighters on the ground. After the last one comes out, Cell's tail retracts in and his wings relax. He looks down at Teen Gohan and smiles, "If seven was an even match for you before, how a full dozen of my new batch!"
The Earth fighters take a small step back and go into their fighting stances again.
"Go, my children! Have fun!" All twelve mini-Cells fly down at the group.
The first three go after the Sailor Scouts in the group, mostly to just hear them scream. But Jupiter and Mars quickly go on the offensive and strike with their special attacks. The other four Scouts quickly aid them.
Four others attack Goku, Teen Gohan, Adult Gohan, and Piccolo, knowing that they will need to be taken out first. But the four Z-fighters now know their tricks and get the better of the battle.
The other five go after the others, usually two at once. Trunks and Cable try to battle one together while trying to figure out a plan. Sakura is too weak to fight and Spiderman and Captain America help defend her against the little blue men.
Pikachu and Kirby quickly get a plan and try to attract one. Using Pikachu's Thunder Jolt, they attract one at them. But then Kirby begins to inhale it, it tries to get away but is sucked in too far to get out. While a flash, Kirby is wearing a blue version of Cell's powerup. One down, eleven to go.
Defeating them is not so easy with the others. With their regeneration technique, their heal their wounds before they can be finished off. Both Gohans double-team a pair and quickly transform into their Level Two forms. Just as the two Cell Juniors recover, both Gohans fire identical Kha-meh-ha-meh-has, disintegrating them both in the merged blast. Nine to go.
"They're not going to last very long," says Demitri.
"Actually, it's all going to plan," says Cell. "Go distract them and I'll finish them off."
Bison flies up to his face and grabs him by the neck, "You better not be thinking that you are superior. We are Sub-Generals, we have authority over you."
Cell smiles and speaks without struggling, "I don't care what you are to me. If you want the credit for this, then you can have it." Bison releases him and floats back a little.
"Let's go," says Magneto agreeing with Cell. He and Demitri fly away first, then Bison soon after.
While all the excitement is happening on the other side of the field, Akuma and Gouki are still fighting for the upper hand of the battle. Shin Akuma's energy is fading away but his rage is growing at an extremely fast rate. Cyber-Gouki is not losing energy but his armour is getting worn out fast. The field has ignite to a full fire around them but neither shows weakness to it.
Piccolo obliterates another Cell Junior. Bison, Magneto, and Demitri do the classic hit-and-run tactic on each of the fighters. By doing so, a Cell Junior has the chance to do a sneak attack while their distracted.
Suddenly, all the Cell Juniors fly upward and form an octagon. Each one goes into an identical stance and yell, "KHA-MEH-HA-MEH-HA!!" They all fire their ki blasts at the group. Most of Earth fighters get hit but aren't seriously hurt.
But then they notice the real attack. "Thanks for the energy!" yells Cell with his hands raised upward. Above him is an enormous Spirit Bomb. He throws it down with one swing of his arms.
Goku quickly flies in front of it and tries to push it away. The force of the Spirit Bomb is too great for him and it pushes him to the ground. Both Gohans jump to help him out and push against the fireball.
The field catches fire faster with the presence of the Spirit Bomb. Just as the Spirit Bomb seems to be moving away from the ground. Cell powerup again to fire a ki blast to push it back at them.
"DIE! CELL!!" Majin Vegeta suddenly checks Cell from the side and knocks him away. The three Saiyans manage to push the Spirit Bomb away to an empty part of the sky.
The Cell Juniors circle around Vegeta, ready to fight for their father. But to everyone's surprise, Akuma and Gouki jump up in the air, each destroy one Cell Junior each, and then use another one to use as a jump to go at each other. The large amount of chi build up from Akuma and Gouki caused the four Cell Juniors to burn, dismember, and disintegrate on contact.
"Keep your fighter under control!" yells Bison at the Clown.
"Which is his, anyway?" whispers Ken.
The Clown jumps down from his tree, which moans back into its original position. "It is not my problem if you get in their way!"
"Now just whose side are you on!?" questions Cable.
"He's a demon," whispers Trunks.
"Well, at least I'm not with you," chuckles the Clown.
"Then you're against us!" says B.B.Hood. "I can take you down easy."
"Fine. I know that I don't look threatening now and I may not have name like the Exterminator, or the Obliterator, or the Annihilator. No, I'm much worst than that. I am… the VIOLATOR!!" His overweight body begins to bodge and his body expands. His skin and clothing begins to rip and a dark creature appears through the holes. Violator tears out of the skin like a body suit and stretches out his limbs, creating a height of over fifteen feet. The group is shocked at the demon's true form.
Violator takes a few steps forward and raises his claw into the air. Just as he brings it down to strike them, a chain grabs around Violator's wrist. "You will not harm them, AssClown!"
Violator turns around, "SPAWN!" He uses his free hand to pull the chain and Spawn towards him. The two battle each other with Spawn's cape flying everywhere as he battles Violator.
"We better cool this place off," says MegaMan. His body flashes for a second and his armour changes to blue and light-blue colours (Mercury's powerup). "Aqua Buster!" MegaMan fires out a stream of water at the flames around them, which quickly turns to vapour. Sailor Mercury quickly assists by doing her Mercury Bubbles. The fire lessens but doesn't go out completely.
Goku and Piccolo go to help Spawn while the others ready for another attack of the Cell Juniors. The field gets narrower as all three battles occur side-by-side.
"It's getting crowded," says Trunks. "Got any ideas?"
Cable thinks for a moment. "We should stop their battle," he says as he looks at Akuma and Gouki.
"How can we? We can't even get close to them."
Cable pulls out of one his grenade-like devices. "I almost forgot about that, we only used since we got here. But if we use it, we will be down to one teleportation."
"But is there anything else we can use. And once they're gone from here, they'll just be fighting somewhere else." Trunks backhands a Cell Junior and knocking it away.
Cable sighs, "What do you think?"
Trunks looks at the two fighting then back at Cable, "We can't risk anything here. We better do it."
Cable nods in agreement and pressing a few buttons on the grenade. He throws it at the two and a ticking starts as it counts down.
When the grenade goes off, they are a few yards away. A white bubble engulfs the two and they disappear from sight. A few of the fighters turn to it and watch. The bubble suddenly fades out and all that remains is the spinning grenade.
"Okay, now we have—."
There is a flash of light where the two stood and now standing there is Cyber-Gouki. He looks around at the fighters, picking his next opponents.
"How did he do that!?" says Trunks.
Cyber-Gouki turns his sights towards Cable and Trunks, his first opponents. He rushes in at them, with his hands ready to knock their heads clean off their shoulders. Suddenly, a Cell Juniors grabs onto him and causes him to stop. Then the other Cell Juniors grab hold of him. Gouki tries to throw them off but can't.
Then BOOM! All the Cell Juniors blow up and Gouki is caught in the middle. When the smoke clears, Gouki falls down to his knees and falls on his front.
Violator breaks free from Spawn's chains and backs away. A small flame underneath him strangely grows brighter and bigger until it engulfs him. "See you in Hell, Spawn!" he yells as his body disappears in the flames. The fire shrinks again as if nothing happened.
"Well, at least I'm not going without a prize," taunts Cell. He floats to Gouki and lands on the ground, facing him. He lifts Gouki's body up with his hand and extends his tail.
Vegeta charges at Cell again but Magneto repels him away.
Cell's tail opens up and begins to consume the corpse. There is nothing the Earth fighters can do to stop him.
Soon, Cell has completely consumed Gouki and grins at the fighters. "He's… He's gotten stronger!" says Adult Gohan. "That machine thing is now apart of him!"
Cell slowly floats upward, "I have other business to attend to at the moment. But don't worry, if all goes to plan. It will all be settled tomorrow." He teleports away while Bison, Magneto, and Demitri fly back to the castle.
The four Saiyans power down and land on the ground. The team feels awkward about the suddenly silenced battle. Ryu and Chun Li help Sakura to her feet, Chun Li helps walk her back to camp. Some of the fighters cradle their wounds as they walk away.
Cable and Trunks are not ready to leave yet. Something serious is on their minds. Cable looks at the grenade that he threw, walks over, and picks it. "Tomorrow…"
"We don't even have a day left," says Trunks.
Xavier holds the Clown, now back in his fat clown outfit, by the throat and pushes him against a wall. He yells in Onslaught's voice, "Borg technology. You used my BORG TECHNOLOGY!!"
"I took a scrap here and a scrap there," he says with no complications.
"But he wasn't part of us. HE WASN'T EVEN WITH US!!"
"He was apart of my team."
Xavier pauses for a moment, "Whose side are you on?" He doesn't reply. "Are you with us or them!?"
"I'm with Malebogia. And only Malebogia!"
"Oh, yeah. Well, I am with Shinnok and, if Malebogia knows who his master is, he should realise where his loyalties should lie."
The Clown chuckles, "He already know who his master is…"
"You're the one who did this. You arranged this all to happened. Strange that we still can't predict power levels yet we were able to sense the Dark Hadou from miles away."
"Maybe you have discovered a new talent. Ha ha."
"I doubt that." He throws him down a hallway, he bounces and slides along the floor.
A loud screech is heard from a door along the hallway. Xavier turns and head to the door, which rattles violently, "SHUT UP IN THERE!" A creature inside roars at him. Xavier, in a murderous rage, tears the door off its hinges and walks inside. The creature roars again…
DragonBall Z reality, Adult Gohan's dimension
"We are just moments away from start the World Tournament Completion, folks. The fighters have been chosen and the first match will start soon."
The Z-fighters Goku (with the Heavenly Halo above his head), Krillin, Piccolo, Vegeta, and Android 18 stand in a group. Goten and Trunks are of course in their disguise as another fighter. Their families watch from the stands and the other contestants, including Shin, stand in their own groups.
Videl is escorted to the fighting stage by her father, the current Champion, Hercule. "And for the first match," says the announcer. "Videl, the daughter of Hercule, versus Krillin."
"Well, I'm up first," says Krillin as he does a quick stretch and walks out to the stage. Because of Saiyaman's disappearance, the setup has changed.
Videl gets onto the stage. Where are you, Gohan, she thinks to herself. You said you would be here!
Krillin jumps onto the stage goes to his side. He stretches again and goes into his fighting stance, Videl goes into hers.
"Here we go folks!" yells the announcer. "Fighters ready… GO!" Krillin and Videl charge at each other.
There is a suddenly flash just above the stage. The two fighters, plus everyone else, turn their heads up to it. A figure suddenly bolts down and kicks Krillin away. He flies off the platform and onto the grass. The figure lands on the stage and faces Videl, it's Demitri.
Videl only recognises him as a possible threat and backs away. But she is stopped by another figure, she turns around and sees a military general. It's Shin Bison.
She is slowly lifted upward by a strange force. Another figure slowly floats down from the light, it's Shin Magneto using his powers to levitate her upward. Videl struggles to move from her current position.
"Hey! Let go off my little Videl!" yells Hercule.
The light turns into a flat, transparent portal. Then another figure slowly descends through it. Everyone is shocked at who it is.
"CELL!" exclaims Goku.
He floats to Videl's level. "Don't be threatened child. I cannot harm you… You're the bait."
The Z-fighter, as well as some of the other fighters, rush in a the four villains. Magneto creates a repelling shield around all of them. Each projectile they throw is reflected as well as their bodies.
"DAD!" yells Videl. Bison places his hand on her forehead and she passes out from the intensity of his Psycho Power.
Vegeta powers up an attack. "Take this…. FINAL FLASH!!" He fires a strong ki blast.
Cell floats out of the shield, "Time to test my new abilities." He brings his arms back, "The Shinku Hadou-Ken amplified five-fold!" He fires out the large energy blast and it collides with Vegeta's. The mixture of different blasts causes an explosion when they meet, pushing Vegeta into the air but it doesn't take him long to recover.
Cell notices Super Saiyan Goku coming right at him, "Hmph, here's a move for you. It even has your name in it…" When Goku is the right distance away, Cell does a sliding teleport (like Akuma or Gouki) and grabs Goku. Cell unleashes a combo fury and yells, "Shungokusatsu!" When it's over, Goku is lying on the ground hurt. Cell does Akuma's foot stomp as a small taunt.
He changes his stance and looks around at the jaw-dropped audience. "Don't worry too much… Your end will be very soon." Bison, Magneto and Demitri with Videl go through the portal. Cell slowly ascends into it, giving everyone an haunting stare.
The portal closes soon after Cell's feet enter. The crowd is silent until someone suddenly yells, "AHHH! CELL IS BACK!!!" Then the crowd suddenly erupt in fearful screams and yell.
TRUNKS and CABLE'S COMPUTER: "Countdown to critical point. Twenty-two hours, eight minutes, sixteen seconds."
