Dragon Ball: The Missing Chapters
Chapter XI- Fight, Gluu! Fight for your life!
*********
Gluu's body was rippling with risen veins and insanely growing muscle. Zuukuuni was still crouched behind her small rock, clinging onto it with her very life to keep herself from being blown away from the blazing wind of Ki exploding from Gluu's glowing body. Cell was breaking a cold sweat as he watched and felt Gluu's power level skyrocket. Suddenly, Gluu threw his head back and screamed at the top of his lungs, letting loose the fiercest blast of Ki wind Cell and Zuukuuni had ever felt in their lives. The sudden blast was so wild that Zuukuuni was flung from her rock and sent skidding on her belly along the ground, carried along by the Ki wind. Cell crossed his arms and tucked his head into the pocket of his forearms, shielding his eyes from the savage blast of energy radiating from Gluu's body. Cell, through a crack in his crossed arms, got a glimpse of Gluu powering himself up, and muttered in fascination, "Is there no limit to his power?"
Storms of sand, dirt and grass whirled around the area as Gluu continued to snarl and scream. Zuukuuni finally managed to cling to a nearby small skinny tree to keep herself from being sent sailing. Then, with a cracking of wood, the tree was uprooted from the savage wind, and Zuukuuni was sent flying again, clutching the small tree.
Suddenly, Gluu stopped his audio assault on Cell and Zuukuuni's ears, and began to calm down. The wild wind died away almost instantly, and the landscape, whatever remained of its original stature, became settled and calm once more. Gluu calmly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly. His inflated body suddenly relaxed, and he returned to his original shape. Then, he raised his head towards Cell and softly opened his eyes. Cell uncrossed his arms and revealed his face, which wore an expression of utter shock and disbelief. "What's the matter, Cell?" Gluu asked calmly with a light smirk on his lips, "You wanted a challenge, now you've got it."
Cell managed a weak smile. "Well, you certainly keep your promises, don't you, Kibi-jin?" he chuckled meekly.
"I have no name," Gluu said, "but please, call me Gluu."
"Well then, Gluu," said Cell, regaining his composure and another silly confident smirk on his face, "Let's see if you really can put up." Cell raised a finger to his chin, and tapped it lightly. "One free shot, Kib-
"Gluu."
"Yes, my treat."
"Much obliged," Gluu evilly chuckled, putting one fist into his other palm and cracking his knuckles.
Suddenly, Gluu took off from the ground and sped towards Cell like a rabid blur. Cell barley had time to squeak out in surprise before a powerful blow of Gluu's fist smashed into Cell's jaw. Cell was thrown far backwards from the brute force of the punch, sending him onto his back.
"Like that, Cell?" Gluu smiled, rubbing his knuckles, "Or should I really get mean with you?"
Cell staggered back to his feet, and rubbed the trickle of his purple blood away from his lips. Zuukuuni weakly rose to her feet and stared at Cell and Gluu from the distance. She rubbed the large dirt and grass stain that ran along the center of her shirt. "Holy hell," she muttered, awed at the tremendous Ki she sensed that was radiating from Gluu's body.
"Well, Cell?" Gluu snickered, crossing his arms, "Ready for another?"
Cell lightly rubbed his jaw and groaned. "Well, you are considerably stronger," he said, "What's your secret?"
Gluu sighed. "It's an ancient Kibi-jin trick," he said, "I've never used it until now."
"Interesting," Cell mused, "How is it done?"
"Like I'd tell you," Gluu said blandly, "All you'll know is how screwed you are now."
"Very funny, Kibi-jin," Cell smirked, "But aren't you getting just a bit too overconfident?" he asked, taking a fighting stance on the ground.
"Not by your standards," Gluu sharply replied, taking a similar stance.
"Well, ready yourself, Kibi-jin," said Cell suddenly, "Because now the talk ends!"
Gluu barley found time to raise his arms to his face to block a sudden barrage of rapid-fire punches from Cell. Weaving from side to side, Gluu narrowly managed to avoid each of Cell's furious fast-flying fists. Finally, Gluu succeeded in catching one of Cell's fists and yanked it to his side, tugging Cell towards his chest. As soon as Cell was almost touching him, Gluu forcefully brought his knee up to Cell's gut. Cell quickly blocked Gluu's knee with his free elbow, threw his head back, and then flung it forward with brutal velocity, smashing his forehead into Gluu's. The blow knocked Gluu back, but he recovered himself and took to the air, with Cell following close behind him. Gluu whirled around in the air and unleashed a quick beam of Ki at Cell. Cell barrel-rolled in midair, letting the beam of Ki sail by him. As soon as Cell caught up to Gluu, Gluu launched a furious assault of fists upon Cell. Cell took Gluu's previous role and found it was his turn to dodge and weave out of the paths of Gluu's assaults. Finally, Gluu managed to land his left onto Cell's nose, and Cell's head snapped backwards from the blow. Just as Gluu was going to deliver his right to Cell's unprotected belly, Cell suddenly sprung upright again, and flung his leg at Gluu's knee. When Gluu, who was doubled over from Cell's counter attack, was reeling, Cell sharply shot his other leg upwards and connected with the underside of Gluu's chin, sending him into a back flip in the air.
Gluu soon recovered from his midair spinning, and began to retreat backwards from Cell. Cell followed Gluu, keeping the distance between them equal, until Gluu stopped suddenly and threw his leg out at Cell. The sudden attack caught Cell by surprise, and he instinctively raised his arms to his left shoulder, just in time to absorb the impact of Gluu's boot. However, Cell was not quick enough to block Gluu's left shin from shooting upwards from the side and smacking him in the side of the neck. Cell was sent into a whirl as he plummeted to the ground, landing with a large thud.
Gluu slowly raised his hands above his head, "Sleep tight in your new grave, Cell!" Gluu shouted as he formed a ball of Ki in each open hand. Gluu violently flung his hands down, letting the spheres of Ki sail down towards Cell below him. The spheres hit the ground around Cell, kicking up a cloud of fog and dust. With Cell's body still obscured in the case of smog, Gluu formed two new packages of Ki in his hands, and flung them down into the cloud. Then, Gluu began to furiously pump his arms up and down, with each pump throwing a bolt of Ki sailing down into the smoke cloud from his hands. Gluu was so focused on pummeling the cloud that he barley noticed a light tap on his right shoulder. When Gluu turned his head over his shoulder to look behind him, his jaw was met with a sharp jabbing fist. When Gluu recovered from the blow, he turned his body and saw Cell, hovering in the air in front of him. "Quite good," Cell chuckled, "I'm impressed."
"I'm impressed that you managed to survive that, Cell," Gluu muttered.
"Well, I've survived a lot worse, Kibi-jin," Cell replied.
"Gluu," Gluu growled, a tad annoyed, "Call me Gluu."
Cell shrugged. "Okay, 'Gluu'," he sighed.
"Gluu!" Zuukuuni suddenly shouted from below, "Just finish him off already!"
"Mind your manners, girl!" Cell turned his head and shouted back. Turning his head back to Gluu, he said, "Now, where were we?"
"This is the part where I kick your ass, I think," Gluu said, clenching his fists.
"Or maybe it's when I tuck you in for a dirt nap," Cell joked, preparing himself for another conflict.
Gluu suddenly propelled himself forward, ramming his shoulder into Cell's gut. Cell doubled over onto Gluu's shoulder as Gluu continued to speed forward through the air. Their travel was cut abruptly short when Cell's back slammed into a cliff face; the force of Gluu's ramming sent Cell a few meters into the cliff.
Gluu half-heartedly relaxed, and heard Zuukuuni's voice shouting to him from the ground behind him. Gluu turned around and saw Zuukuuni dashing below him. "Gluu!" she shouted when she was below him, "Are you alright?"
Gluu lazily floated back down to the ground. "Yeah, I'm fine," Gluu murmured as he stood face to face with Zuukuuni.
"D'you think you got him?" Zuukuuni asked, looking up to the large hole in the cliff face, letting her golden Super-Saiya-jin hair fall and turn black once more.
A small explosion from beneath a portion of the rock of the base of the cliff face quickly answered Zuukuuni's question. From out of the hole in the cliff stepped a bruised and bloody Cell. "I'm not dead yet," he said, rubbing his bloody lip, "but you will soon be, both of you!" he growled. "You've detained me from Earth long enough!"
"Zuukuuni," said Gluu, standing in front of her and bracing himself, "You'd better go somewhere away from here."
"No way!" Zuukuuni blurted out, turning Super-Saiya-jin once more, and stepping beside Gluu. "This is my fight too!"
A quick burst of Ki from Cell's palm shot into Zuukuuni, blowing the Saiya- jin over on her back. "No, it's mine and the Kibi-jin's fight, Saiya-jin," Cell said harshly.
Gluu looked sideways down at Zuukuuni. "Zuukuuni, you'd better go," he said. Zuukuuni looked like she was about to protest, then bitterly began to float away from the battlefield, and landed a mile away from the cliff.
"Haven't you had enough yet, Cell?" Gluu growled.
"Haven't you?" Cell responded.
Instantaneously, both Cell and Gluu lunged at each other. Flurries of punches mixed with kicks flew between them, sometimes hitting their marks and other times missing completely. The tide of the battle finally favored Cell once he managed to land a sharp knee into Gluu's belly. Gluu hunched over, gasping for breath, letting Cell raise his arms and clobber Gluu on his back with his fists like a mallet and spike. Gluu's body was driven into the ground, creating a miniature crater around him. Cell was about to land another blow from a Ki blast, when Gluu sprung from the hole and delivered a knuckle-lined uppercut to Cell's jaw. Cell was sent tilting backwards for the blow, and Gluu found ample time to jab the villain in the midsection. Cell's body doubled over as Gluu grasped his head and drove his knee into Cell's face repeatedly. Cell countered Gluu's assault by flinging his head backwards, lifting Gluu of the ground with him, and flying backwards into the cliff wall. Gluu's back landed with a blow that buried him into the cliff face. With Gluu plastered to the cliff wall, Cell lurched forward and dropped to his knees and rubbed his face. "Goddamn Kibi- jin," Cell growled, wiping his bloody face.
Gluu slowly emerged from off the cliff wall, and staggered towards Cell. "I'm not through with you yet, Cell!" Gluu growled, rubbing his bruised and bleeding face.
"Oh, go to hell, Kibi-jin," Cell growled under his breath.
"Then you'll accompany me," Gluu replied with another growl.
Just as Gluu got to his feet, Cell had formed a small ring of Ki in his hand, and hurled it at him. Taken by surprise, Gluu had no time to dodge the wheel of Ki, and it sped into him. Instead of knocking him down, the ring wrapped around him like a rope, and bound his arms to his sides around his waist. Gluu writhed around in his restraint, unable to break the bond. "You're wasting your energy, Kibi-jin," Cell laughed, crossing his arms and smirking, "Even I can't break that bond!"
Gluu struggled even more violently against the ring of Ki around him, but found his struggle to be fruitless. Cell was about to advance upon the helpless Gluu when he felt a sudden presence behind him. Cell struck out his arm behind his back and swatted something away. It was Zuukuuni, and she was sent sailing through the air and landed on the ground with a thud. "Stupid Saiya-jin," Cell muttered, annoyed at Zuukuuni's persistence. Zuukuuni's body began to twitch and tremble. "Drat," Cell grumbled, "She's still alive."
Cell decided to kill Zuukuuni later, and focused his attention at the struggling Gluu. "Are you ready to die yet, Kibi-jin?" Cell asked with a smile.
Gluu did not reply, he only charged at Cell with a flying kick. Cell effortlessly blocked Gluu's assault, and delivered a right cross to Gluu's chin. The blow knocked Gluu back, just as Cell closed in on him again and jabbed him in the chest. Gluu spun about and tried to fight back at Cell with just his legs, but he soon found his attacks were half-heartedly thwarted by Cell one after another. With a sudden movement, Cell viciously kicked Gluu in the stomach, sending the Kibi-jin flying backwards, landing with a crash on the dirt ground on his back.
"I think I'll put you out of your misery now, Kibi-jin," Cell cruelly laughed, eyeing Gluu as he struggled back to his feet, spitting up a glob of blue blood onto the ground. Cell held his right arm into the air, and formed a small disk of Ki in his palm. Gluu, his vision blurring and crossing over, could hardly maintain his balance as he watched a blur which he assumed was Cell let the small disk of Ki grow into a larger circle. "This is and old Earth technique, Kibi-jin," Cell laughed as he wound his arm back, winding the disk in his hand along with it, "It's called the Khienzan!" He declared, hurling the disk at Gluu. The Kheinzan sailed towards Gluu, who was still disorientated and writhing against his bind. When his vision cleared up again, Gluu flung his back to the ground just in time to have the disk sail millimeters above his chest, slicing through the bond ring as it passed. Rolling over and jumping to his feet, Gluu wildly flung his arms outward from his body, snapping the broken bond in two. "Dammit!" Cell cussed.
"Aw, too bad Cell," Gluu mocked with a sly grin, rubbing his bloody lip, "Did you ruin your own fun, huh?"
Zuukuuni groaned, and lay on her stomach and watched Gluu and Cell taunt each other from the distance. "Maybe it's just me," she moaned, "Or I can sense that Gluu's and Cell's power levels have significantly dropped," she sighed aloud. "I wish I could help him…"
Suddenly, she laid eyes upon a small, green sprout protruding from the ground.
In no time at all, Gluu and Cell charged at each other. With motions as fast a lightning, they threw mixes of jabs and kicks at each other. Gluu slowly found himself on the defensive from Cell's relentless attacks, and began to back away as he defended himself with his crossed arms. Suddenly, Gluu let a flash of Ki burst from his body, knocking Cell backwards. Cell covered his eyes and groaned. "Damn Kibi-jin…"
"While he's blinded," Gluu muttered to himself, putting two fingers of his right hand into the palm of his left, "Time to use my trademark move…"
A flicker of Ki sparkled from the tips of Gluu's two fingers as Cell dropped to one knee, still shading his face with his hand. Gluu brought his right arm back with the speck of Ki on his fingertips to his ribcage. "Get ready to die Cell!" He yelled, "Impaler Beam!"
Gluu shot his arm forward, and a small thin beam of red Ki shot from his two fingers. Cell regained his sight just in time to see the beam of Ki speeding towards him. Instinctively, he shot his left hand up before him in the path of the beam to protect himself. The beam did hit his hand, and burrowed a small hole right through it. With a screech, Cell collapsed onto his back, holding his hollowed hand as the thin beam sailed over him as he fell.
"No," Gluu whined, lost for breath as he collapsed to his knees, "That was the last of my Ki…" he moaned.
Cell began to snarl furiously to himself as he staggered to his feet, looking at his wounded hand. With bluish blood squirting left and right of the wound, Cell growled at Gluu. "That, fucking, hurt!" Cell roared, lunging at Gluu.
Gluu's body was too spent to defend himself, as Cell fiercely brought his knee up to Gluu's neck, creating a sickening snap as Gluu's head jerked backwards. Gluu was knocked backwards by Cell's blow, and landed on the ground motionless. "Gluu!" Came a sudden female shriek from behind Cell. Cell sighed, and allowed Zuukuuni to zoom by him and land crouched by Gluu's side. "Gluu! Are you alright?" Zuukuuni asked in horror. Gluu remained silent and lay on the ground. Zuukuuni lightly tapped Gluu on the cheek. "Come on Gluu, speak to me," Zuukuuni whimpered, leaning her face closer to Gluu's.
Gluu was still quiet and still. Zuukuuni lightly pressed two fingers to the underside of Gluu's jaw. After a few seconds, she wiped spots of tears from her eyes.
"Whoops, I don't know my own strength," Cell chuckled sinisterly, crossing his arms and smirking.
Zuukuuni began to grumble to herself. Then, she began to growl. Soon, she was breathing in snarling hisses. "What are you going to do?" Cell laughed, "Growl me to death?" Zuukuuni slowly rose to her feet, still fuming and staring at the ground. Her straight black hair suddenly sparked upright and turned golden blonde. Her dark eyes turned an emerald green as thin droplets of tears rolled down her cheeks.
Suddenly, with a roar of rage, Zuukuuni charged at Cell.

Gluu's body was rippling with risen veins and insanely growing muscle.

Cell, through a crack in his crossed arms, got a glimpse of Gluu powering himself up, and muttered in fascination, "Is there no limit to his power?"
Storms of sand, dirt and grass whirled around the area as Gluu continued to snarl and scream. Zuukuuni finally managed to cling to a nearby small skinny tree to keep herself from being sent sailing.

The Kheinzan sailed towards Gluu, who was still disorientated and writhing against his bind. When his vision cleared up again, Gluu flung his back to the ground just in time to have the disk sail millimeters above his chest, slicing through the bond ring as it passed. Rolling over and jumping to his feet, Gluu wildly flung his arms outward from his body, snapping the broken bond in two. "Dammit!" Cell cussed.
"Aw, too bad Cell," Gluu mocked with a sly grin, rubbing his bloody lip, "Did you ruin your own fun, huh?"

In no time at all, Gluu and Cell charged at each other. With motions as fast a lightning, they threw mixes of jabs and kicks at each other. Gluu slowly found himself on the defensive from Cell's relentless attacks, and began to back away as he defended himself with his crossed arms. Suddenly, Gluu let a flash of Ki burst from his body, knocking Cell backwards. Cell covered his eyes and groaned. "Damn Kibi-jin…"
"While he's blinded," Gluu muttered to himself, putting two fingers of his right hand into the palm of his left, "Time to use my trademark move…"
A flicker of Ki sparkled from the tips of Gluu's two fingers as Cell dropped to one knee, still shading his face with his hand. Gluu brought his right arm back with the speck of Ki on his fingertips to his ribcage. "Get ready to die Cell!" He yelled, "Impaler Beam!"
Gluu shot his arm forward, and a small thin beam of red Ki shot from his two fingers. Cell regained his sight just in time to see the beam of Ki speeding towards him. Instinctively, he shot his left hand up before him in the path of the beam to protect himself. The beam did hit his hand, and burrowed a small hole right through it. With a screech, Cell collapsed onto his back, holding his hollowed hand as the thin beam sailed over him as he fell.
"No," Gluu whined, lost for breath as he collapsed to his knees, "That was the last of my Ki…" he moaned.
Cell began to snarl furiously to himself as he staggered to his feet, looking at his wounded hand. With bluish blood squirting left and right of the wound, Cell growled at Gluu. "That, fucking, hurt!" Cell roared, lunging at Gluu.
Gluu's body was too spent to defend himself, as Cell fiercely brought his knee up to Gluu's neck, creating a sickening snap as Gluu's head jerked backwards. Gluu was knocked backwards by Cell's blow, and landed on the ground motionless. "Gluu!" Came a sudden female shriek from behind Cell. Cell sighed, and allowed Zuukuuni to zoom by him and land crouched by Gluu's side. "Gluu! Are you alright?" Zuukuuni asked in horror. Gluu remained silent and lay on the ground. Zuukuuni lightly tapped Gluu on the cheek. "Come on Gluu, speak to me," Zuukuuni whimpered, leaning her face closer to Gluu's.
Gluu was still quiet and still. Zuukuuni lightly pressed two fingers to the underside of Gluu's jaw. After a few seconds, she wiped spots of tears from her eyes.
"Whoops, I don't know my own strength," Cell chuckled sinisterly, crossing his arms and smirking.
Zuukuuni began to grumble to herself. Then, she began to growl. Soon, she was breathing in snarling hisses. "What are you going to do?" Cell laughed, "Growl me to death?" Zuukuuni slowly rose to her feet, still fuming and staring at the ground. Her straight black hair suddenly sparked upright and turned golden blonde. Her dark eyes turned an emerald green as thin droplets of tears rolled down her cheeks.
Suddenly, with a roar of rage, Zuukuuni charged at Cell.
-Next: Avenge Gluu, Zuukuuni! Destroy Cell!

The Asylum's note:
