Chapter 17:Trunks's Transformation

"So,where do you think Yemma is?"Eighteen asked.

"Who knows?He could be anywhere in the Other World,"Gohan replied.

"My sensors aren't picking anything up yet.If he's anywhere in this place,there must be something protecting him,"the female Android stated.

"As much as I hate to admit it,Cell is sort of a genius.He knows how to keep things hidden,that's for sure,"Gohan slightly chuckled.

"Wait,"Eighteen said,closing her eyes,"I'm starting to sense something.It's somewhere in the room above us."

"Then I guess we're going up."

Gohan held his hand in the air,gathering the least amount of energy possible.With a small explosion,the ceiling above them exploded.Several ogres jumped at the sound.To them,it was an enormous explosion.But small by Saiyan and Android standards.

"Ladies first,"Gohan said,bowing slightly.

Eighteen looked at him weirdly before flying to the next floor.Gohan followed soon after,staying behind a few seconds to assure the ogres that worked in the palace that everything was okay.

"Get up.You can't fool me.I'm tired of your stupid games,Cell.Let's finish this."

Cell slowly got to his feet,blood pouring from his multiple wounds.He breathed heavily as his knees started to get weak.His vision was blurry,and he now thought that he was fighting two Rays instead of one.

"Should I put you out of your misery now,or do you still want to try your luck and my patience?"Ray asked.

Arrogantly,Cell flew as fast as he could toward the Tororin.Ray shook his head and stepped to the side,avoiding a clumsy punch.As Cell flew past him,the evil creature's eyes widened in fear.With a smirk,Ray brought his knee up into Cell's stomach.The impact caused the Dimensional Destroyer to double over in pain once more.

Trunks looked around with a confused expression,wondering where that ringing noise was coming from.Finally figuring it out,he reached into his pocket and pulled out the Interdimensional Communication Device.After pressing a few buttons,the image of Kibitoshin appeared in the small screen.

"Ah!Trunks!I was wondering if you would pick up.What's going on there?The crystal ball recently exploded because of the power in that dimension,"Kibitoshin said.

"Well...."Trunks trailed off,looking back at the one sided fight.

"Ray hasn't....lost,has he?"

"No,of course not.It's just hard to put this into words right now."

"Then send me your memories."

"Huh?How can I do that?"

Kibitoshin laughed slightly,"So,you HAVE forgotten about the ability King Kai gave you.Remember when Ray first came out of his nine year unconsciousness?When Gohan arrived then,King Kai gave you all the ability to talk telepathically."

"OH!That ability.It's been so long since we've used it,I've forgotten about it,"Trunks chuckled,"Let's see...How was it done....Oh yeah."

He closed his eyes and pushed his thoughts across the boundaries between dimensions to Kibitoshin.The fusion nodded in understanding.

"I see.It appears you have everything under control there.From what Gohan and Eighteen have told me,they've found the real King Yemma and he is now in the process of bringing Cell back to life slightly.It should be enough so that he can die once more,and then be sent to limbo,"Kibitoshin explained.

Trunks nodded,"Right.If you'll excuse me,I want to watch Cell tremble some more."

"Ha ha!Of course!There's nothing better to you Saiyans than seeing an old enemy being afraid,is there?"Kibitoshin laughed.

Trunks smirked,"You know it."

With that,the connection between the two different dimensions was turned off.Mentally,Trunks told Ray the message about Cell being alive again.The news brought a small piece of sanity back to the Tororin as he continued to fight Cell.

"This....This is ridiculous,"Cell said,slowly lifting himself off the ground,"I'm perfect....The best....Yet this fool is beating me...."

"I've heard you called a lot of things,but you're the only one that calls yourself perfect,"Ray pointed out with a smirk.

'And he continues to mock me!I'll show him,and every Universe created,that I AM PERFECT!!'Cell thought,suddenly regaining his strength.

Gohan froze,his eyes dropping to the ground.Eighteen stopped beside him and glanced at the Saiyan out of the corner of her eye.

"What's wrong?It's not like you to freeze up like that,"she said.

"That energy....Since Yemma's palace is in the center of the 'dimensional-web',or whatever it's called,a person can feel energy from any dimension.Right now,I'm sensing something from the dimension where they're fighting Cell.I remember it from a long time ago,when Garlic Junior tried to take over the world,"Gohan replied.

"What are you trying to say?"Eighteen now turning completely toward him,"That Cell is Garlic Junior in disguise?"

"No,"Gohan shook his head,his eyes full of worry,"I'm saying that....Cell's opening the Dead Zone."

-----

Ray's feet dug into the ground as he tried to steady himself.The enormous black portal in the sky was sucking everything into it.He and Trunks had to resort to a barrier of energy to protect themselves.Already,they were running low on energy.

"HA HA HA HA!!NOW WHO'S BEGGING FOR MERCY!?"Cell laughed maniacally.

"Trunks.....You have to...."Ray trailed off.

"But....You're already at full power!Can this dimension....hold on if I am too?"Trunks asked.

"There's no time...to worry about that!If we....don't finish Cell now....he'll do the same to the others that he did to Sarah!!If we're both at full power....Cell will be nothing!"

"....."

"C'mon,Trunks.We have to!Think about Ashley....Think about Dart and Ruby....All of them will be gone if we don't do something!!!!"

"Right....RIGHT!!!"

With a shout of rage, a pillar of golden light shot from the shield around the two.Trunks's hair stood up in spikes,flickering golden and then back to lavender.Eventually,it stayed golden and had crimson streaks.The Saiyan's muscles bulged more than normal as he and the Tororin gathered energy.As the pillar of light disappeared,two golden beams of energy shot toward the portal to the Dead Zone,where nothingness ruled,and completely destroyed it.

Cell's eyes widened once more.He lowered his hands,no longer needing them to keep the Dead Zone open.As he looked toward the ground,he trembled in fear.There,standing back to back,were the descendants of the True Legendary Ones.They had surpassed every mortal in the known Universes,proving that they were the successors of the True Legendary Ones.

"It's over now,Cell,"they both declared,"We will see that you're evil ends.Here and now!"
