"Dragonball AS: Ultimate Cell Saga"

Chapter 86- "Doomsday"

By- Tiny

Cell moved out of the way of Gogeta's initial blow with relative ease, but it wasn't the wisest move as another attack rammed hard into the bio-android's ribcage, shattering the bones. Purple blood flew out of the green-haired one's mouth as Gogeta brought another blow up to his chin, propelling Cell high into the air where Raditz awaited, a ki blast charging in his hand. The Saiya-jin man caught sight of the bio-android as he got closer to him and released the attack, which rocketed towards Cell at overwhelming speeds.

The bio-android caught sight of the attack before it hit, however, and moved out of the way, allowing the attack to move out of the way and thinking that he was out of the woods for now. Cell was wrong to jump to conclusions though as Brolly and Diive came at him from the side, driving their knees with crippling force into the bio-android's arms, turning them into useless noodles. Cell couldn't even move them to try and block the next attack from Raditz, which completely obliterated the bio-android's upper body in a brilliant flash of red light.

Cell's legs and hips collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud, bouncing back up like a ball or something, but that didn't last long as a very angry looking upper half burst back out of the stump that remained. The three hovering Saiya-jin chuckled a bit as they descended to glare at the bio-android, the overly powerful Gogeta stepping up among them as Cell began to sweat again. In only a few simple attacks, these warriors had already done more damage to him then the other's could working together and it greatly worried the bio-android.

"You look disturbed," Diive chuckled, "Too many blows to the head, or are you just a coward?"

"I am not a coward!" Cell roared, powering back up, "But you are a dead man, you stupid Saiya-jin!"

Cell rocketed forward towards the group of Saiya-jin, swinging back as though to try and take them all out at once, but the attack never made it as Gogeta moved through his defenses as though they didn't even exist. Cell's eyes widened in terror as the massive Saiya-jin's fist smashed hard and fast into his stomach, causing a puddle of blood to erupt from the bio-android's mouth. Gogeta snickered slightly as he pulled his hand back and did a half-back flip, bringing both of his booted feet down with a sickening crack upon Cell's exposed skull.

The bio-android was sent crashing hard into the ground, leaving a perfect imprint of his body in the soil, but quickly sprang back up to swing at his opponent for a second round. Gogeta simply sighed in frustration as he jumped around behind Cell and rammed his knee into the green-haired man's backside, snapping the spine in several different places. The blow would have killed a normal man and crippled any other Z fighter, but Cell was different and repaired himself at overwhelming speed, jumping back into the fight only to have Gogeta smash his face in.

The other three pure-bloods watched on with relative passiveness as their friend beat the bio-android to a bloody pulp, staining the green grass a sickening purplish as he pounded mercilessly on Cell's body. They were all looking greatly concerned as Gogeta managed to yet again launch Cell into the air, but their worries were not aimed at the monstrosity they had come to destroy. Rather, they were worried because of the fact that Gogeta's energy was, while unbelievably stable and long-lasting, going to run out eventually, possibly before the job was done.

"He only has five minutes left in that form before they revert back," Brolly mused, watching the fight overhead, "If that happens..."

"Then we'll deal with the consequences as warriors!" Raditz smirked, silencing his larger ally, "Still, let us hope that it doesn't come to that."

"Indeed Raditz, let us hope not," Diive agreed, feeling his father and his son's energy nearby, "For all our sakes..."

On the world of the Grand Kai, all of the Kai's of Other World had gathered around a small crystal ball, as had their students, to watch the events unfolding on the blue-planet Earth. Gogeta was doing a splendid job at warding off the bio-android and his attacks but everyone knew how limited the fusion techniques abilities were and had not yet stopped worrying. The Supreme Kai was especially concerned, seeing as how he had been in this situation with Majin Buu only a short time ago, by Kai standards, and the process was now repeating itself.

Only King Kai, guardian of the Northern Quadrant, didn't look worried about the whole situation as he cheered on the fused warrior, yelling random curses in Cell's direction. The other Kai's were slightly unnerved by the blue man's confidence that everything would turn out all right in the end, since all of them had given up hope as soon as Cell absorbed Juuhachi and powered up. Even the Grand Kai himself did not expect the Earth, or the universe for that matter, to survive this one, but King Kai remained ever positive as Gogeta connected yet another blow to Cell's jaw.

"How can you be so positive, Northie?" West Kai grumbled, "The fusion technique only has a little while left and then they'll be all on their own against that monster."

"Correction; it has absolutely no time left!" East Kai gasped, pointing to the crystal ball, "Look at it!"

The rest of the onlookers fell silent as the gazed into the ball and saw that the fusion had, indeed, worn off and that Goku and Vegeta were standing slightly confused looking next to each other on the battlefield. Nearly everyone's spirits dropped right then, mutterings about the end off all that was spreading around through the crowd now that the Saiya-jin had defused. King Kai didn't say a word, however, other than a few cheers for his prize student, Goku, as the Saiya-jin man fell into defensive stance as Cell approached his opponents with a smirk on his face.

"What are you cheering about!?!" the Supreme Kai barked, "Gogeta, the one advantage we had in this battle, is gone for good now! How do you expect us to win when our greatest champion is no longer present!?!"

"Because I have faith in those boys," King Kai said flatly, gazing into the crystal ball with a grin on his face, "Trust me, there is nothing to worry about. Cell isn't going to take over the universe."

"How can you be so sure?" South Kai argued, "Didn't you just hear the Supreme Kai? The fused one is finished, and so are we!"

"No, they are going to win," King Kai smiled, "Everything will be just fine, as long as Goku continues to fight...."

Everyone on Earth was nervous now as the two defused warrior's, Goku and Vegeta, moved over beside their friends, each tightening their defenses as much as possible before Cell reached them. The bio-android has lost quite a bit of his strength, that was evident from the heaviness of his breathing, but he still had more than enough to finish all five warrior's off unless they were careful. That was the reason that they were all shocked when Cell lifted up high into the air, laughing all the way as he raised his left hand high over his head.

"I've decided that this is enough petty duels and stand-offs!" Cell laughed maniacally, "I am going to finish all of you off, as well as this pathetic little planet, in one quick stroke!"

"Oh shit!" Goku gulped, his face growing pale, "He's going to blow up the whole planet!"

Cell merely grinned in response to Goku's statement and charged up a massive red energy attack, putting every last ounce of his strength into the attack before launching it at the planet. Things looked incredibly bleak as four of the Saiya-jin jumped out of the way of the blast, preparing to teleport back to Other World, but Goku stood firm and began to charge an attack of his own. Blue energy pulsated within the Saiya-jin man's hands as he glared daggers at Cell, who just smirked at Goku's feeble attempt to delay the inevitable.

"KA....ME....."

"You're wasting your time, Goku!" Cell roared, his aura flaring out, "The Earth's time has run out!"

"HA....ME...."

"This is the end, Saiya-jin!" Cell smirked, "Now you all die!"

"HA!!!!!!!!"

A massive blue energy wave left Goku's palms as he aimed it carefully for Cell's own attack, causing the two beams to collide with a powerful shockwave that blew even the other Saiya-jin back several yards. The entire planet shook violently under the pressure of the two warrior's struggle against one another, sweat pouring off of Goku's body while Cell continued to laugh at his efforts, the red beam overtaking the blue one by a great deal. Still, Goku persisted and continued to feed more and more power into his attack in his defiance against the bio-android, pushing Cell's beam back slightly only to be overtaken again.

"The same trick your son used to kill me so long ago!" Cell cackled, his voice laced with a mixture of amusement and frustration, "Do you honestly think that it'll work twice?"

"Under normal circumstances...no, but...this...isn't...normal!" Goku struggled, vein's popping out of his skin, " I'll kill you, even if it's the last thing I ever do! KAIO-KEN....TIMES TEN!!!!!!!"

Cell's eyes went wide with horror as Goku's power level shot to an astronomic scale, even higher than Gogeta's had been, and a the red aura that surrounded him pouring into his energy attack. The now red KameHameHa blast rocketed towards Cell at tremendous speed, overtaking it instantaneously as the searing heat of Goku's attack engulfed Cell's body. The familiar smell of burning flesh and sensation of numbness washed over the bio-android as he began to scream obscenities at Goku, who kept his steely gaze on the still progressing beam.

Everyone else on the planet, be it on the television or firsthand, watched on as the red blast burned Cell's very being away bit by bit, his purple blood cascading down to the ground like rain in a thunderstorm. The KameHameHa was very thorough in it's work as every last bit of the bio-android, including the spilled blood was burned away as though it had never been there in the first place. The monstrosity Cell, greatest enemy of the Earth and their protectors, was at last and finally destroyed and Goku, the man responsible for his home's safety, collapsed in a heap inside the crater he had created.

The Saiya-jin was drained of virtually everything he had had to offer, his energy so low that he could barely even move as his brother and friends slid down the side of the crater next to him. Seeing how depleted Goku was, Brolly instinctively reached to his side for a senzu bean and popped it into the warrior's mouth, though the effect was delayed and Goku didn't regain his fullest power. Still, the planet's savior rose to his feet shakily and smiled at his friends as he felt Gohan approach, an even larger grin spreading out over his face.

"Well guys, Cell is finally dead," Goku beamed, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly, "Looks like we did it again, huh?"

"No Kakarot, we didn't do anything," Vegeta shook his head, clasping his old rival's hand in his own, "You, the Earth's greatest hero, did it again and for that, we all owe you our gratitude."

"Thank you, Vegeta," Goku smiled softly, gazing off into the horizon, "Maybe now, things can finally go back to normal..."

NEXT TIME: Cell is destroyed and things are right again in the universe, but how is Goku going to bring everyone back to life since Dende is dead along with everyone else on Sky Palace? And what about the deal the five Saiya-jin made with the Ultimate Kaio-Shin before fighting with the bio-android on Earth? Find out in the next installment of Dragonball AS!!!!!!!!
