Chapter 3: Vengeance
"Hahahaha!" Cell laughed maniacally as he threw Vegeta to the floor. Vegeta screamed out in pain as he saw his end approach. "Finally, the royal blood line will be disposed of! Vegeta, you and that son of yours were nothing compared to my awesome powers! Muahahaha!" It was hard for Starlight to watch. She stood up and clenched her fists so hard that she drew blood. She couldn't stand aside and watch Cell kill two Saiyans in one day. She rushed to the aid of Vegeta with newfound strength. Cell never saw her coming. She punched him in the face, making him fall to the ground. She ran to Vegeta and began to help him up.
"I...don't need your help..." He grunted in a soft whisper. She ignored him and picked him up. Then she put him on the hill that everyone else was standing on. Then she flew back to Cell. By now he was up and angrily staring at the demi-Saiyan.
"Ha...hahaha.....HAHAHAHAHA! Stupid girl! Did you honestly think you could beat me out of a fit of rage?" He said, laughing maniacally again. Starlight walked one step closer to him and turned Super Saiyan. She drew her sword and sliced him across the chest. He stopped laughing abruptly and clutched his chest.
"Why you little!" He screamed lunging at her. He threw a kick at her face but she dodged it. She glanced over at Trunks' dead body.
"Trunks..." She whispered. "I WONT LET YOU DOWN!" She yelled, her face wet with new tears. She was the worst when it came to controlling her anger.
"Starlight?" Gohan asked whispering. "What are you doing?" He said watching Starlight and Cell go at it. Starlight slipped and Cell grabbed hold of her neck.
"My, my this looks familiar." He said, tightening his grip. "Oh now I remember. This is how you looked when we met. And if I remember correctly, the annoying one with the sword saved you." He laughed, looking at Trunks' body. Starlight began turning blue as she clawed at her neck. Cell laughed even more, "Hahaha, I guess he won't be helping you any time soon!" He punched Starlight in the stomach and dropped her to the ground. He formed a small yellow energy ball in his hand.
"And now for the grand finale..." He laughed loudly as the ball grew. Starlight coughed up blood as the fatigue returned to her. Her eyes widened in fear as she realized she couldn't get up. She closed her eyes and waited for the end.
Gohan, who had been watching from a far, rushed to the side of his fallen sister. He threw himself on top of his sister, shielding her from the blast. Unfortunately, his left arm was broken in the process. Cell grew angrier as he saw Gohan stand up and pick Starlight up with one arm.
"Thanks." She said smiling.
"No problem," Gohan said, "Can you walk?" He asked in a concern- ridden voice. Starlight nodded and Gohan gently placed her feet on the floor. She stood up drunkly and walked over to where she had laid Trunks' body. Meanwhile, Gohan went to resume his battle with Cell.
"I'm sorry...There was nothing else I could do." Starlight said, kneeling down at his side. From behind a rock she heard a muffled grunt. Then out from the shadows came Vegeta. Despite the horrible condition he was in, he still sported his usual smirk.
"My son would be proud. You fought hard." He said. Then he realized that he sounded too sympathetic and snorted. "But a TRUE warrior would still be out there fighting!" He said, satisfied with his statement. Starlight chuckled to herself as they both turned to face the battle.
"Cell!" Gohan said, "I wont let you kill my friends and get away with it!" He threatened. He seemed to be losing. Cell began to laugh again.
"Hahahaha! You think you can beat me? You're nothing but a kid!" He yelled as Gohan placed his wrists together and brought them to the side of his waist. Cell did the same.
"KA........ME..........HA.........ME..........HAAAAAAAAAAA!" They screamed in unison. In no time, Cell's beam began to overcome Gohan's. Gohan was losing faith in himself rapidly. His head dropped and he felt like he couldn't go on any longer.
"I can't do this...I give up." He whispered, losing energy.
"GOHAN!"
"Dad is that you?" Gohan asked out loud. Everyone else stood up and looked around. They heard Goku, but they didn't see him.
"YES GOHAN IT'S ME. I'M TALKING TO YOU THROUGH KING KAI. BUT NOW'S NOT THE TIME FOR EXPLANATIONS! GOHAN DONT GIVE UP! REMEMBER ALL THE INNOCENT PEOPLE HE KILLED! REMEMBER ANDROID 16! REMEMBER TRUNKS! THINK ABOUT YOUR MOM AND YOUR SISTER! THINK ABOUT PLANET EARTH! ALL OF THIS THAT WE STRIVED SO HARD TO PRESERVE WILL NOT GO TO WASTE! FINISH HIM!!!" Goku yelled as Gohan became enraged. His beam began to over power Cell's. Starlight gathered her remaining energy and channeled it to Gohan. Everyone else did the same. Cell looked around with a look of fear as everyone ganged up on him.
"NO! I AM A PERFECT BEING, I CANNOT BE DESTROYYYYYYYEDDDDD!" Cell yelled as Gohan's Kamehameha Wave overcame his. Every cell of Cell blew up. There was nothing left for him to regenerate from, they all made sure of that. Starlight fell to the floor with a slight smile on her face. She sighed deeply.
"Well Trunks...I guess we did it."
