A/N: Hey all you Reviewing Fans! I finally decided to finish this story off… I guess I want to at least have one story complete in my collection and this is the 'almost' finish one I have. So enjoy the last couple of chapters. ENJOY! i hope you enjoy.
Across from the wounded Cell, stood the weaken warrior Link. His arm outstretched and his breathing quickening, Link stood there with a smirk on his face. The Z gang stood there baffled at the sudden interference from Link.
'LINK!' Gohan suddenly shouted. Everyone turned, beside Cell, to the powered up Gohan, who was now walking towards both Cell and Link. Link's smirk faded. Link cupped his left arm and began to walk towards Cell, soon meeting Gohan half way.
'What's the matter Gohan?'
'Why did you do that? I can finish him by myself! I don't need help!'
'Don't let your new found strength blind you…'
'It's not! I getting him back for all his done to the people of this…'
'Gohan!' Link suddenly shouted. Gohan went blank at Link sudden uproar. Even the Z gang went speechless expect Goku who just seem to frown. 'Is it your goal to humiliate Cell? Bring him down to his knees slowly and then crush him? And leave him with the knowledge that you, a mere boy defeated the powerful monster?'
'Yeah! I want him to die painfully! Not just physical, but mentally as well!' Gohan explained, rasing his fist to Link. 'What's wrong with that?'
'This is not the time to be toying around!' Link again shouted. 'The world is in your hands! There is too much to lose if you fall!'
'I wont!' Gohan growled, narrowing his eyes.
'But that's not enough!'
Everyone turned to Goku. The proud saiyan was still frowning, but walked normally towards his son.
'F-father…' Gohan studded. Goku paused just a few feet away from Gohan, Cell and Link. Goku peered down at Cell, who was trying to touch the pure blade, scar into his chest. Blood, poured from Cell's mouth and from the new wound. Cell was somehow being compressed and held, something was halting his actions, holding him back.
Goku eyes soon fall upon Link. Link was in bad shape, worst even then Goku. Link seemed to be putting his life on the line, like everyone else, but seemed to be getting the most attention. Attacking Cell head on could do that Goku thought.
Finally, Goku eye found his super powered son. Gohan was frightened, not shaken scared but worried. Even with all that power, Gohan held his father with high respect.
'Link is right Gohan. I know, with new power and being a saiyan, battle is all that matters. I felt the same way you do now when I fought Frieza on planet Namek' Goku gave Gohan a quick smile, to let Gohan know he wasn't mad. 'I wanted him to know fear! I wanted him to know he was defeated by the same low level saiyan he once thought we were!' Goku voice heightens and became almost angry. 'I only did it, because I knew everyone was safe here on Earth. I know you want to prove yourself, it all right, you've done enough' Gohan stood up straight, lowering his head and sobbed a bit.
'Wow! Goku, he's amazing!' Trunks stated. Vegeta grunted, luckily no one heard him.
'What a fool! Even though Gohan has surpassed me he shouldn't let this end so quickly! He should finish Cell off slowly! What are you thinking Kakarot! Vegeta again grunted, which gained Trunks attention.
'What is it father?' Trunks asked. Vegeta shook his head and remained in silence.
'I guess, even Goku must put his foot down at one point' Yamcha said.
'Yeah' Tien said simple. Krillin didn't have to say anything, but just nodded.
.
.
'Gohan!' Goku said, placing a hand on Gohan's board left shoulder. Gohan peered up at Goku, with wet filled eyes. Goku saw this and smiled. 'Your not alone Gohan let us help you'
The strong ego Gohan had gathered after his fears and rage exploded, fuelling his new power, was suddenly gone. Gohan loosen his fists and smiled.
'Thanks dad. And you too Link' Gohan gave both Link and Goku a warming smile. Goku patted Gohan on the head, giving his own smile. Link just sighed with a weak smile. His wounds were painful.
.
.
.
'ARGH!' Cell screamed. 'Cruse you Link!'
Link turned his head down to Cell, who was still trying to pull at the sword. Cell was able to move slightly, but was restricted to any bigger movement.
Link turned quickly to Gohan, who was now watching. Gohan nodded, allowing Links assistance. Link again smirked and moved in front of the fallen monster. There, with his shadow casting over Cell, he grabbed at the feeble monster's throat and yanked him from the ground, just like Cell had done to him.
'This is it Cell!' Link shouted, holding Cell just above his head. 'This is where everything will change and the reign of Cell falls!' Link toss Cell like a rag doll. Cell didn't go far, Link was still weak after all, even though the pink fairy tried to heal him, it wasn't enough. Link walked to where Cell now laid and stood above the monster, the sun blazing behind Link.
'It is now, that peace will once again reign here! And you will be torn to shreds and your power lost… forever! When I'm done with you that is!'
.
.
'Hey Krillin?'
The bold-headed warrior turned to Yamcha, who lend closer to him.
'Don't you reckon Link could be a past saiyan?' Yamcha asked.
'I don't know…why do you ask?'
'Man, look at him! He's almost acting like Vegeta in a battle!' Yamcha stated. 'You know bro… the whole tough guy thing!' Krillin gave a chuckle.
'You kind of right Yamcha!'
'Yeah… Link might as well be. But Link is too composed and focused to be a saiyan' Tien spoke up. 'Link uses wisdom and strategy. Even at best, saiyans just rush in'
.
.
Cell, with the restricting power of the sword rose to his knees. The sword was firmly in place and was not moving anywhere. Cell could tell Link was hovering above him by the casting shadow. He could feel Link was mocking him; Cell's blood began to boil.
'Fight me like a real man, you coward!' Cell shouted. 'Take this sword out of me!'
'No!' Link just shouted back. Link stood next to Cell and grab the back of Cell's head, which he grasped tightly. 'Your not even a man, so it invalided anyway. But don't worry, you wont have to endure this much longer'
'What! Do you think you can really win? You tried and failed!' Cell reminded.
'Is there something you've kept hidden from us Link?' Piccolo asked, walking closer to Goku and Gohan. Link turned with a smile and gave a thumb up.
'Just a small trick, I hoped I wouldn't have to use' Link explained.
'So who's toying now!' Vegeta shouted.
Link's smiled widen. At any other time, everyone would have broken up into a hysterical laughter, but now was not the time. Link lowered his head and stood back. Cell looked towards Link and growled.
'You can't hurt me! In my powerful state and your weaken power, you can't do anything!' Cell shouted. Link smirked and raised both hands above his head.
'You think I'm bluffing?' Link asked.
'Stop mocking me! Your bluffing!' Cell again shouted, narrowing his eyes and grinning his teeth. Link suddenly lost his smirk, which was replaced with an angry grin.
'Then call my bluff!' Link began to build up a charge, but the Z gang couldn't tell where the charge was being built. 'SWORD…RELEASE!'
.
.
.
The Master Sword wedge into Cell's body began to glow blue. Small amounts of electrical discharge, sparked off from the blade, until it swarmed Cell. Cell screamed out in pain. The sword felt like liquid fire burning within the monsters chest that slowly spread throughout every inch of Cell.
The monsters cry drew the attention of everyone. The Z gang were forced to cover their ears and even Hercule's mob was too. The scream echoed everywhere. The people of the cities could hear everything. At first they too screamed, but then they just stood there, in a state of confusion.
'What's going on?'
'Who's screaming?
'Oh god! Where is Hercule!"
Everyone was searching for answer to his or her questions, but everyone was just as baffled as the next person they sort help from.
.
.
'Hercule! What's going on?' the woman asked, covering her ears. Hercule didn't respond. He was squeezing his ears so hard, that all small sounds seemed block out. All he could hear was the sound of Cell screams.
'Ladies and gentlemen!' the report again boomed, this time he was screaming everything he said to over power Cell's cry. 'Cell seems taken surprised again by that sword wielder fellow and is somehow in a lot…' the report suddenly stopped as his glass shattered and the camera glass lens broke, even though the camera was still out of use. '…Of pain' the reporter finished.
.
.
.
'ARGH!'
'What going on! What's happening!' Trunks asked, he too with his hands at his ears.
'Whatever it is…Cells feeling it!' Yamcha responded. Piccolo began to fall to his knees. As a Namek, he had good hearing, that now he wished he didn't have.
'I-It's the sword!' Piccolo screamed. Everyone turned to the fallen Namek, with the arms still at their ears. Goku and Gohan moved slowly to aid Piccolo. Vegeta ran pass the trio till he was behind Link.
'Confound it! What did you do!' Vegeta shouted, his teeth bearing. Link was the only one who did have his ears covered by his hands. All Link had was a smile on his face. 'Answer me boy!'
'You'll see Vegeta!' Link replied.
'No! You explain this to me now…' Vegeta suddenly became loss in words.
.
.
Everyone began to lower their arms as Cell's scream turned into painful grunts. The Z gang stared, even Piccolo who was luckily to survive at Cell. Cell was breathing quickly and clutching at his chest where the sword was impaled. Cell body was increasing in size and then shrinking rapidly. The colour scheme of Cell's skin was changing; Cell himself was changing. And the major difference, which caught Vegeta in the mid of his sentence was Cell's power was breaking.
'I don't believe!' Vegeta shouted, his mouth hanging wide.
'Cell's is…' Tien began to say
'Changing! And his body…' Yamcha added, soon interrupted by Krillin.
'Is morphing! Like he's…' stated Krillin.
'Changing back! Cell's looks like he's turning back into his…' Trunks continued off from Krillin's line of thought.
'Imperfect-self! Which means…' Piccolo said, pausing just as Gohan spoke up.
'His total power and energy will be…' Gohan shouted his mouth hanged open just as Vegeta's was.
'…Destroyed' Goku whispered.
.
.
'That's right guys' Link thought, overhearing the Z gang's whispers. 'Just like you all said…you all knew what was happing. Funny how you all finished one another's sentences' Link sighed while bearing a calm smile. This was it. This is what his training has put him through, and the end result was nothing to what he expected.
Link began to think of his return home. Ganondorf was not going to be so hard now. In fact, Link could see Ganondorf's defeat very clearly, as if another vision was being display before him.
But then a strange feeling popped into Link's head. Link's smile disappeared and was replaced with uncertainty.
'Something not right…' Link again thought, starring down at the master sword, which was releasing Cell's energy. 'How come I've never used this attack before and yet I already knew its affect?' In the training room at Capsule Corp, he learnt energy attacks and how to fly. But he never learnt anything to do with the sword. Link thought on it some more, but was interrupted by Cell scream.
Link walked over to Cell and again grabbed at the back of the monsters head, which was beginning to change size. Cell slowly jerked his head towards Link. Cell was still under the affects of the master sword and could no rise his fist for a punch.
'Do you know what happening Cell?' Link asked, before turning his head to look at the Z gang. 'They do. And so do I'
'O-once this stops…y-your d-dead!' Cell growled, blood pouring from his mouth.
'Once it stops?' Link started to laugh. 'Cell… let me explain. This sword' Link began to say while touching the blade, sending lager amounts of pain through Cell. 'Is made by light. Evil cannot touch and evil will certainly die from being sliced by it. But you Cell, have the unlucky fortune to be impaled with it…'
'S-so…' Cell interrupted, his breathing increasing the more power was being destroyed.
'So, this blade will not stop!' Link shouted, which caused Cell to go quiet, even while his in pain. 'The blade is destroying your energy, all of it! Then, when your energy gone it will destroy your entire body…down to every last cell, until you disappear into oblivion!' Link wore that wicked smile as he stood, over Cell. 'Not even your regeneration will work if all cells are destroy…nothing will be left'
Cell started to growl until it almost came out as if he was screaming again. Link just smile as Cell energy was dropping fast.
'As I said Cell, not much longer and everything will stop' Link smirked and laughed. 'For you' Cell stopped his scream, which came out now more like grunts as Cell turned his head to face Link.
'C-cruse y-you!' Cell growled, turning his hands on the ground into fists. Link saw Cell actions, but did not take it likely.
'There nothing you can do about it Cell…this is the slowest but most affective way to finish your sorry ass!'
'NO!' Cell screamed, causing the ground around him to compact into the ground. Link could feel Cell's anger increase ten fold. Link staggered backwards as Cell was fighting the drain of his power into powering up. Cell raised his mighty hands and joined them in front of his chest, where the blade poked out. 'CRUSE YOU!' and with a mighty thud…
.
.
Cell smashed his joined fists into his chest, directly where the sword stuck out. The sword retracted out of Cell's body and was flung about the arena, landing blade first into the rocky ground.
The Z gang were surprised very quickly. Link had boasted that the sword would have finish Cell off, and they believed him because they could sense the drain in Cell's power.
'Oh man!' Krillin shouted, slowly walking backwards. Krillin sallowed hard and almost went completely pale. 'This ain't good! I was sure we had him!'
'Yeah! It felt like we won!' Tien said.
'No kidding…' Yamcha exclaimed, also backing off from Cell.
'Don't panic guys!' Trunks spoke up, running in between the scared trio, 'We still have Gohan!'
'Hell yeah!' Yamcha shouted, somehow recomposing himself. 'This should be a piece of cake now Cell's drain of his full power!'
'I don't knowguys…' Krillin mumbled sounding very worried. 'What if Cell's pulls another trick and releases more energy?'
'I agree with Krillin' Tien said, standing ready in case of a fight. 'We just don't know what Cell might have planned! I do not doubt Gohan. I'm just don't think it wise to be relax just yet'
Vegeta who was on a high platform the group below him heard their conversation. Vegeta was neither smiling nor worried. He was just as confused as they were.
'The very idea of Cell hiding more power is ridicules!' Vegeta scolded in his thoughts. Vegeta tighten his fists and then beared his teeth. Even though he thought it was ridicules, he felt it wasn't too far off the truth. 'But he has mock me till a point I don't know whether or not his bluffing! ARGH! Cruse him…'
.
.
Cell breathing became more rapid. The sword was gone but the burning sensation was imprinted into his being and continued to torture him inside. Cell slowly rose his head, his gazes following a path to wards the Z gang till he had fixed on all of them. The one he more focused on was Link, the closes of them all. Cell was grinning angrily and pour seemed to increase as Cell's breathing became harsher and faster.
Link could sense Cell intention. Hurt him, choke him, and rip his body to pieces and much worst. Link narrowed his eyes and began, as Krillin and Yamcha did, back away. But Cell leaped at Link and found Link in his grasp. Gohan, with fist ready jumped to completely knock Cell out, but his punch missed as Cell took himself and his captive in the air.
Link gulped what air he could and groan as Cell's might hand squeezed tighter around Link's already damage neck.
'YOU!' Cell screamed, again squeezing till he was sure he had cut all air from entering Link's body. Link tried to scream, cough even but nothing came out. No voice, not even wind escaped. Link grabbed at Cell's hand and try to loosen the hold, but in his weak state didn't nothing less them anything. 'I… will make you… PAY!' Cell's reared back his free left hand, curled it into a fist and charged a powerful punch blast. 'SAY GOODBYE!'
Cell threw his super charged fist straight and Link's face. Link could tell, that hit would break his skull and end his life in one move. Not the cleanest but he knew it was over. Link could feel the heat in his body rise. Was it the lack of air, the sense of doom that caused his body to rise? Link knew it was both and just shut his eyes and…
'ARGH!'
'AAARRRGGGHHH!'
