Kakkhan: Giendonese Saiyan Warrior
Disclaimer: I do not own Dragonball/Z/GT, but I do own Janden, the Laniins, the other races not including Human, the planet Giendon, a few techniques, and a handful of other things that are my creation alone.
A/n: Welcome back, at long last, to Kakkhan: Giendonese Saiyan Warrior! It is finally the real fight between Cell and Kakkhan. YEAH!
One thing I forgot to mention last chapter was that I have forsaken "the child of the dark light" business mentioned in Chapter Eleven. That person is now "the child of the darkness." I haven't fixed that mistake in the context yet, but I'm warning you of it all the same.
Allati: I will make sure you do, SP.
^^; Enjoy!

Previously on Kakkhan: Giendonese Saiyan Warrior—
The Saiyan suddenly pointed at a member of the Z-senshi who was distinctly apart from the main body.
"There's your challenger."
:~*~:
Kakkhan was startled, but he hid it as well as any time he was shocked. He didn't want to do this, but he really had no choice in the matter. After all, it was the world at stake, wasn't it?
But still, he should have known this would come.

Chapter Thirteen: Golden Thunder
:~*~:
Cell looked up at Kakkhan and scoffed. "Him? He's no threat. Now give me a real challenge," he said to Goku.
He was put off guard by a strong voice saying, "Cell, do not underestimate me. There is more to me than meets the eye, Android." The last word dripped with scorn as the speaker moved into full view.
Cell took a blast to the past at the sight of the blond green-eyed boy glaring at him. Cell narrowed his eyes and said, "You," even as he smirked at him, arrogant as always.
To which Kakkhan responded with "Yes, me. You had better eat that Bean, Android. You'll need it, I think you'll find."
Cell simply shrugged and popped the little look-like-nothing Bean into his mouth. Instantly he was re-energized and recovered from his "brief" bout with Goku.
Goku stepped away and was forgotten as the strange boy with no ki descended from the heavens to the ground. Now Cell and Kakkhan were face-to-face, glare-to-glare, and ready to fight. One was fighting simply for a challenge. The other was fighting for the world of Earth and for his belief in goodness and honor. Both had a chance of winning.
It was dead silent in the desert. Even our humans (1) were silent, knowing enough instinctively not to ruin the mood. Well, the Z-senshi wasn't quiet, but why pay attention to them? Oh, you do want to know what's up over there? OK! (*Evil grin to Rarity88*)
:~*~:
"What's going on here?! Why is that brat fighting Cell and that stupid clown isn't?!?!" Vegeta bellowed.
MTrunks laughed nervously. But MKakkhan remained strong and didn't give into Vegeta's mood. Even if Vegeta was his prince.
"Vegeta, 'that brat' as you call him is the strongest member of this group. you may not think so, but he is. He's stronger even than Mirai Trunks or me. So quit your complaining and just watch for once!"
Vegeta was skin-shocked (2) into silence. He remained quiet even after he came back from his inferior's argument. Instead he simply "humphed" under his breath and turned to watch. He paid close attention to the brat below, trying to find something that the brat had that he didn't. It had to be that way in order for the brat to possess power enough to be the strongest here. Vegeta, of course, found no answer. None of the Z-senshi would out of Kakkhan.
Krillin looked up to MKakkhan and asked, "Are we in good hands with…Warrior…over there?" The bald ex-monk still had difficulty believing that that kid was actually named "Warrior". It just wasn't believable.
MKakkhan caught Krillin's last thought. He smiled to himself as he answered, "Yes. Warrior is a very good and strong fighter, like I said to Vegeta. I trust him, and you can too."
Krillin nodded. They turned with the others to watch the happenings. But Yamcha intervened with, "Hey, Gohan, do you, by any chance, know what the guy's real name is? I don't think that 'Warrior' quite fits at all."
The other senshi humans voiced their agreement. Those people being Krillin, Chiaotzu, and Tien. Tien was keeping one of his many eyes (only three LOL) on the desert and the other two on MKakkhan.
MKakkhan looked at all the people staring at him, hoping for an answer. His mouth twitched, but not so much that Tien saw it, he being the sharpest eyed of the quartet of humans.
"Nope, sorry. Warrior hasn't given into the questioning he was subjected to in the HTC either." MKakkhan had been present during those five days of interrogation 8Gi years ago. It was an ongoing joke with all of the friends.
The humans groaned. They shook their heads at the extraordinary stubbornness of their child savior.
~*~
The world watched as Kakkhan and Cell clashed together. Sonic booms raged throughout the desert as flashes of Cell's atrocious armor and Kakkhan's colorful gi glittered here, there, everywhere, and nowhere, all at once. Our humans watched confusedly for the action. They only managed to catch it when it clearly showed for more than three seconds, a rare few times in the greatest fight for Earth seen by mankind.
Cell was getting slightly worried. Fighting this one wasn't like fighting Goku. With Goku, Cell had been able to more than slightly control the fight. Here, the Android had absolutely no control. It was touch and go with this kid.
See, the problem was, this kid was a real fighter. He was a heckuva lot more controlled in his actions, meaning his moves were more precise, hurt more, and harder to bounce back from. It also meant Cell's opponent was very unpredictable and more dangerous. That scared Cell. A whole lot. If the Fates had meant for this day to be Cell's last, they could not have chosen a better person to execute the penance of his life.
Ah, but Cell fought on, despite this righteously depressing thoughts. If the Fates wanted him, they weren't getting him without a fight. No way in HFIL, Jose.
Kakkhan was also getting desperate. He had no idea what exactly his attacks were doing to Cell, but he knew what Cell's attacks were doing to him. they actually didn't hurt so much, but every attack that was successfully landed was wasting more time and giving Cell more opportunity to plan something that Kakkhan wouldn't be able to stop. The Fates were surely against Kakkhan.
Speak of the Devil. Cell threw Kakkhan away into the rocks. The Android threw a ki blast at the young warrior to keep him occupied. Kakkhan deflected it and scrambled nimbly out of the hole. He saw Cell shoot ki beams at the Z-senshi and at our humans. One Afro-haired person tried to dodge a ki beam and knocked into the rock wall behind him instead, making him lose consciousness.
Kakkhan smoldered with rage. He slammed into Cell's back with so much force he sent the Android careening far into the mountains. As a result, Cell was stunned just above the announcer and the photographer, Frank and Jesse, giving them both a great view of the bug Android.
Out in the center of nowhere, Cell's creation of tile, spit, and other stuff law broken and forgotten. Oops, miswrote. Cell crashed into it with a pained grunt. Specifically, onto one of the uprising pillars. It jutted through his stomach and plunged out at the top of his vertebrae. Cell was like an insect pinned on a stick.
Cell grunted again and pushed himself down. He looked quite funny with a spear-like pole coming into his stomach and out of the base of his head. However, neither Kakkhan nor Cell were amused.
Cell had barely popped the pole out of his stomach when he was backhanded straight into the ground this time. Kakkhan ran after and punched Cell deeper into the earth. He created a 2.1 earthquake on the Richter scale in the process, but who cares about a tiny earthquake?
Kakkhan pounded on Cell some more, hardly venting his anger. This episode was not quite the blood-boiling rage he'd felt ten days ago, but it was getting close. Very close. It was so close to bubbling over that Kakkhan could taste the power of the SS2 level. That unsettled the young warrior.
Kakkhan was immortal, yes, but were things that defeated even immortality. Only two of them could get to Kakkhan, and one of those two was too much power. Kakkhan could tentatively handle SS2, but he felt an embroiling power far beyond SS2 that called to him. That was the true reason for Kakkhan's fear of SS2. It was not the power SS2 contained, it was the power beyond.
But Cell was becoming too much for SS level to handle. It was almost time to reach higher.
Cell made one more move. He wanted to see just how far his mystery opponent could go in power. Cell knew that this was risky, but he did want to enjoy this fight, especially since it was going to be the last enjoyable one in a long time.
MTrunks watched in surprise as a ki javelin soared in the air to him. The eleven-year-old was frozen in his place. He couldn't know why, because he had faced plenty of these sneak attacks from the Androids in his own timeline. Why couldn't he move now?
MTrunks expected to feel sharp pain through his heart. Instead he just felt heat in that spot. The javelin had pierced through a heart all right. Only one that had stopped beating long ago.
MKakkhan looked down at his Mirai counterpart with a frown. MTrunks looked up at him and offered a rueful smile. MTrunks had frozen like this once before. He hadn't known the why, no did he now, and that was what he was telling MKakkhan.
MKakkhan nodded his understanding. The older Kakkhan version stepped back several steps and proceeded to pull the ki javelin out, much to the surprised horror of the other Z-senshi.
Kakkhan had watched in dismay as the javelin had skydived straight into MKakkhan's heart. He turned now to the Android that was the cause for this situation. The Android in question had another beam, which he tossed into the air.
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Deep bronze fire raged around the lithe form of the 4' 8" Saiyan fighter who cried those two words. Cell was thrown back into the mountains once again by the sheer power being generated by this miraculous freak of nature standing before him.
Kakkhan stared at the bug android implanted firmly into the rocks, his hate and his rage of/at Cell escalating into the power level he had only felt—and survived—seven times. Who knew what was going to happen here?
Cell stared into the deadly blue-green orbs staring him straight in the eye. The Android was sure now that he was looking at face of Death.
Death, however, didn't really look all that different from the fighter he had been fighting before. Sure, the hair spikes were stiffer, longer, more bronze, and there were more electrical sparks playing all over his clothes, but so what? There was still the same face of neutral indifference, with definitely more spark in the blood-freezing eyes, and the kid still didn't talk that much—so what was the difference?
Cell knew in the next instant. It was only a flash of golden thunder, but Cell commenced the beating of his life in that next second. Kakkhan was here, and he most definitely was in control.

A/n: Hehehehe! I love writing this saga! Heeheehee! Although it isn't that much different from the Cell Games, and I never planned it to be, except at the end, it's still exciting to write and read and point out all the differences to yourself and all that jazz! Heehee! *Hugs fic to self* Hee!
Note to DBZ Chick1 and all major fans of this fic—DON'T BORROW MY NAMES! AT LEAST NOT WITHOUT GIVING NOTICE TO ME FIRST! I MEAN, I LIKE MY NAMES! THEY'RE MY CREATION! Gaah!
Speaking of my names, check out DBZ Chick1's When Were You There? a one-shot where she has used the name "Kakkhan" to substitute for "Gohan". She credits the name to Kakkhan, but she doesn't specify which name she borrows. Although it becomes clear when a person reads the fic. Ah, but enough complaining. I suppose you want my comments on it. Well, it doesn't have enough detail in it, and it's rushed in places, but it's a nice long one-shot and includes many twists and turns to speak of. Hey, wait a minute—go check it out!
I believe I'll be updating Vigilante Angel next. I don't know for sure, but although Double Hate is more completed—as in, no Vigi Ange text and about 1/16 of Double Hate chapter is done—but who knows? DH may be next, K: GSW may come first, and VA has an equal chance. Only Time will tell. And he ain't telling now, that's for sure. Hehehehe
Errrrm…
:~*~:
(1) Just to let you know, "our humans" is the humans that can't use ki. I know that I'm probably going to make some of you say "Awwwww!", but it's the truth! We're inferior to the Saiyans! XP!
:~*~:
SNEAK PREVIEW:
"Oh no, you don't, Kakkarot!"
Kakkhan lunged forward and knocked Goku out of the way. Goku was startled into Instant Transmitting away from the field of danger and to who-knows-where while Kakkhan was stuck with the problem of Cell.
