'I will not be humility by a child! This ends now!' Cell shouted, flying towards Cell with his fists flying at the young saiyan.
Gohan didn't seem fazed as Cell threw his series of punches. Gohan calmly blocked Cell's attacks and counterattacked with his own. Cell frowned as his attacks fail and then quickly tried a blast shot. Cell quickly stopped attacking and pointed his finger at Gohan's head, gathering the pink energy to form Freiza's finishing move. Cell smiled as he tried a shot…
But suddenly the blast lost it target as Gohan high kicked Cell's pointed hand to the sky. Cell went to quickly grab his wounded hand but was kicked away by Gohan, smashing into a nearby cliff, ten miles away.
The dust slowly cleared and Cell slowly emerged from his rocky embedment at the foot of the cliff. Cell rubbed the back of his head and stood with his legs crouched and fits at his side.
'I have had it! Your dead and this is your final moment!' Cell shouted. Cell was about to take a foot forward when a voice shouted to him.
.
.
'Hey Cell!' Cell turned his gaze just to the side of Gohan, until he saw Link, standing behind his master sword. Link was smiling for some reason. Cell was confused when he saw that strange smile appear on his face. 'How about we finish what we started, Cell!'
'Link?' Gohan called, not turning his head to face Link. 'Are you sure? Your power is almost gone!'
'Don't worry Gohan, I can handle this' Link assured.
'Yes Gohan! Let Link fight!' Cell shouted from the bottom of the cliff. 'This wont takes long, just a short intermission!' Link was kind of annoyed that Cell still kept in high spirit, even though he was being beating by Gohan, a saiyan boy. Link guessed, just because he wasn't strong enough to pose any threat, Cell could be as cocky all he wanted.
Gohan lowered his head slightly and closed his eyes. Gohan could clearly sense Link power, so low and almost unnoticeable. Such a power would be crush if Cell was to give a good flick to Link's head. Evaluating Link's power and the confidence his voice contain as well as the attempts Link tried against Cell, he didn't understand what Link could be planning.
'Link? What are you planing to do against Cell?' Gohan thought, his voice broadcasting inside Link's mind. Link shifted his eyes to the young saiyan.
'Are you worried about me?' Link asked. Gohan sighed.
'I just don't understand…your power is too low to fight. You'll die!' Link began to laugh in his mind, Gohan heard this and was just confused. 'What are you planning?'
'This world has it own rules on how to fight. Cell knows those rules…I'm just going to use my rules'
'What? That doesn't make sense!'
'You'll see…and remember'
'….'
.
.
Gohan opened his eyes and turned around to face Link. Gohan was confused but hide it well behind his fighting stare. Gohan sighed, slowly turned around and walked towards Goku and the rest of the Z gang.
'Good luck, Link!' Gohan shouted, not sounding very confident in Link's decision.
As Gohan walked into the group, they all wanted to know what was being planed.
'Hey Gohan! What going on?' Krillin asked. Gohan paused and turned around.
'Link isn't going to fight, is he?' Tien asked, not hearing an answer to Krillin question. Still Gohan remained in silence.
'Come on Gohan!' Trunk shouted. 'What is Link planning?' Gohan sighed and finally opened his mouth to speak.
'I don't know…he just wanted me to trust him'
.
.
The came a sudden gust of wind between Cell and Link that caused dust to raised. Link's hair swayed in the wide and his smile grew. Cell stood up straight with his arms folder and a smirk on his face, almost like Link's.
'So Link…' Cell shouted, over the wind. 'Why don't you explain to me, and our viewers what exactly is going on in the pee brain of ours? I think we all are dying to know!'
'It's a secret!' Link replied.
'Really?' Cell smile faded. 'Well! You better make sure this is good plan. Either way you're going to die…I'll hate to see you fail without causing damage!' Cell began to laugh.
'The last time I fought you, I thought I did damage remember? You power has been reduced!' Link reminded.
'I assured you it was a lucky shot!' Cell snapped back, dropping his arms and pounding his fist together. Cell quickly crouched down and raised his left hand for a punch.
'Hold it Cell!' Link suddenly shouted raising his right hand after seeing Cell stands. Cell stopped just like Link said. Cell began to frown and Link was too. Link lowered his hand and exhaled heavily. 'Let me at least to fight at full power!'
'What?' Cell shouted.
'What did he say?' Vegeta asked, sounding very surprised and angry.
'Link's not at full power?' Trunks queried.
'There no way that possible!' Piccolo stated.
Everyone faces including Cell went blank. Link would not have gone into a fight against Cell not at Full power, unless he was planning something big or just toying with Cell, so Cell would believe he had the advantage and then just rip the carpet underneath him. But everyone could sense the limited power Link had and how close he is to running on empty. They knew for a fact Link was not toying with Cell, but they could also rule out, that with such limited power he could not have been planning anything big.
Cell's confused face started to twitch. He lips were moving, jerking to the side. It was almost he was trying to smile when his face is in a mould. Cell closed his eyes, bitting down on his lip till he just exploded into a wild laughter.
Link frown was unshaken as Cell began to laugh. He wasn't the bit scared. Link didn't fell angry that Cell was once again laughing at him. Link just stood there calmly and turned his hands into fists.
'Come on!' Yamcha shouted. 'I know Link is trying to make Cell scared… but come on! He hardly has any power left!' Yamcha saw the many faces, beside Gohan, Goku, Vegeta and Piccolo look at him. Yamcha coughed and scratched the back of his head. 'I guess it is kind of funny…don't you think?
'You really think Link was just joking, Yamcha?' Krillin asked, placing his hands on his hip. Yamcha looked down at Krillin with one of those unsure looks and nodded.
'But what if Link isn't lying?' Tien asked. 'What if he could get his power back? What if he does a Cell and reveal some hidden power?'
'That's impossible…even for Link' Piccolo spoke up. The trio turned to Piccolo and waited for Piccolo to continue. 'He can't do a Cell because Cell is an android, so we can't feel Cell's power! Link is human and we can sense this hidden power if he had any. We would of felt it…Link doesn't know how to hide his power' Piccolo then grunted and continued. 'As a Namek, I can sense power suppressed inside a being…and I tell you Link is on his last ounce of power'
'Oh…' the trio sighed.
'Then what could he have planned?' Trunks asked, slowly walking up to Piccolo. Piccolo sightly turned his head to see Trunks. 'Why would Link claim to have this power, when he knows Cell can sense his power? He wouldn't make a bluff like that!'
'I don't know Trunks, its not like Link to do something like that!' Piccolo responded.
Gohan was deep in thought replaying Links word in his head. Gohan, so far beside Goku, were the only two that had faith in Link's choice.
.
.
'HA-HA!' Cell laughed, he was laughing so hard the ground started to vibrate slightly.
Cell was seemed crying, too much pain from laughing to so hard. Cell grabbed at his side and gave a final burst of outrageous laughter. From that final burst was a giant gust of wind that blew harshly about Link. Link just stood there waiting, with a frown till Cell calmed down. Cell began to subside his laughter till he was down to a chuckle. 'Oh, that was good!' Cell said, wiping a tear from his eyes. 'I haven't laughed like that in a long time! You truly are a comedian, Link! Have you ever thought of taking that up as a career?'
Link stood there in silence. Cell waited for an answer, slightly chuckling. Cell soon stopped laughing and returned back to his serious self.
'So…how exactly are you going to fight at full power? You hardly have any power left?' Cell asked, with a smile. 'With my sensors, your running low on any power…so what are you going to fight me with? Hopes and dreams?'
'Magic…' Link whispered.
'Huh? Say what…speak up I couldn't hear you boy!' Cell demanded, not hearing Link's answer.
'I'm not going to use power to beat you!' Link shouted back to Cell.
'Oh?'
'The power is only so I can withstand your attacks! I have something else to back me up! Something you can't defend against!'
Cell didn't break into laughter again, but just remained serious.
'Okay Link' Gohan thought, narrowing his eyes. 'I hope you know what you are doing'
Link outstretched both his arms; inhaling and exhaling deeply, then slowly brought his hands to the handle of the master sword but did not touch it.
'Hey Cell? You want to know how'll I get my power back, right?' Link asked. Cell didn't answer, but just remained silent with his arms crossed. 'The power I'm getting back isn't mine…its your!'
.
.
'WHAT!' Cell shouted, suddenly dropping his crossed arms.
'Can Link do that?' Trunks asked.
'How could he?' Vegeta asked sounding baffled. 'It's impossible unless he has a tail like Cells!'
'How can that be! You can't take my power! I would kill you before you got close to absorb my power!' Cell explained the impossibility of Link getting his power. 'There is no way!'
'What about the power you lost?' Link asked.
Cell went quiet and so did everyone else. Link again exhaled and inhaled, deeper this time. Link wasn't happy that he had silence Cell but had more the angry look on his face, with his eyebrows narrowed.
'The power my sword was destroying, when inside you wasn't really destroy you power. It was draining your power, then converting the power into pure energy and then storing it inside the blade'
Link could feel everyone eyes fall upon the blade. The blade itself started to glow bright blue and then faded as Link spoke.
'In the many battles I've been in, this sword has absorbed a bit of my enemies power, every time this sword had struck them…' Link again exhaled and inhaled. 'From two being of great energy have been gathered in this sword. On being yours Cell and another being in my world with almost the same power as you!'
Cell narrowed his eyes and frowned while starring at both the sword and Link.
'NOW! See me in full power!' Link shouted, grasping the handle with both hands.
.
.
The sword was engulfed in its own aura, a light blue aura. The sword gave off sparks of orange colour energy. The energy started to spark it way around Link's hands that grasped the sword and then crawled up his arms. The energy then swirled around Link's entire body. Link eyes were focused on the sword. He was grunting and groaning as the energy flow from the sword into his body increased. His head started to raise and then fall slightly into his chest, fighting the urge to not scream. The blue aura around the sword soon engulfed both itself and Link. The aura grew so intense that it looked like a flame that sprouted from the ground. Small amounts of rocks flew from the ground, small ones and then large chunks ripped from the Earth.
Link so far could handle the intake of energy. He was grunting and groaning just to keep backs the urge to scream but was handling it well. Links breathing though was increasing, it was calm deep intakes and now it was somewhere between shallow and deep.
'Unreal' Vegeta whispered, starring at Links increasing power.
Cell so far, wasn't as impressed. He was still calm about Link's power increase; though he felt a bit annoyed it was his own energy going into Link.
The emblem of the Triforce started to glow orange and small amount of orange orbs began to emerge. They started to swirl around Link and the lifted into the sky. Link, while still getting the increase of power from the sword stared at the orbs that floated around him.
Suddenly Link felt a major surge go through him. The surge sent Link straight to his knees, like someone kicked the back of his right leg in and held him down. Link's face was in his chest, but he fought against the heavy gravity that held him down to raise his head. His head slowly jerked up. His eyes were closed till he had his head level with the handle of the sword, and then he opened his eyes and exposed his now clear white eyes. Link was baring his teeth as the gravity around him increased. The orange energy sparks also started to quickly surge around him in large amounts.
More and more chunks of rocks ripped themselves from the ground till ten huge boulders surrounded Link, spiralling around him in the blue aura. The tiny orbs were soon ten thousand of them all scattered around Link but were not spiralling as the boulders were.
'ARGH!' Link groaned, his clear white eyes slightly closing on him. 'This is…Argh! Intense!'
The Triforce that was glowing organ began to spread. The whole sword was glowing blue, except for the Triforce emblem, which was now converting the swords glow to orange. Link watch as the whole glow of the sword changed. He could feel the sword vibrate violently in his hands and could also feel a heat build up in his hands and chest. Link didn't know what it was but it was growing and becoming more painful.
'What's happening to Link?' Yamcha asked, covering his eyes, as the orange light from the sword grew bright. Soon everyone was covering their eyes.
'Link's power…increasing so much!' Piccolo shouted his eyes hid behind his arm.
'I guess Link wasn't joking huh, Yamcha!' Trunks said covering his face with both arms.
'Hey!' Tien suddenly shouted. 'W-What happing to those orbs things?' everyone eyes darted to the tiny orbs that surrounded a good fifteen feet around Link.
.
.
Link's eyes soon spotted the orbs that were now shaking. All of them were. They each began to shake and soon they shot back into the sword, into the Triforce emblem. The sword grew more violent, shaking almost out of control. The boulders floating began to speed up their spin around Link, till they started to just shot off into any direction
Link watched as the last tiny orb entered the sword. The sword hummed for three seconds before exploding. The sword wasn't destroyed nor anything around it was. It just sent out a pulse wave of extra energy in a see able yellow bubble. As the bubble slowly pass through Link, his body glowed yellow. It slowly crept up his arms, as his arm past through the bubble. And then his knees and chest turned yellow as well, until he was entirely yellow.
The Z gang stood there with the arms about their head, but the light wasn't as strong now so they dropped their arms. There, they gazed at the yellow being Link. Link took his hand off the sword handle and slowly stood up. They could just see his eyes were opened, as Link's eyes were still white.
'His power increase so much!' Krillin stated. 'Gosh, it so cool! It almost as powerful as Goku!'
'So this is it!' Piccolo said. Everyone turned to Piccolo. 'When we first meet Link, we felt he was as strong as Goku in super saiyan form. But before now we could also feel he was weaker too…but now he has reached his max, which is now level with Goku'
The group, after hearing Piccolo turned to Goku who was still staring at Link in his yellow form.
'Something doesn't feel right' Goku said, feeling everyone's gaze upon him.
'What do you mean Goku?' Trunks asked, moving closer to the proud saiyan.
'Can't you feel it son!' Vegeta shouted, gaining his son's Trunks attention. 'I don't know why but I can feel like something been double, almost copied…and a lot of it' Trunks was confused.
'U-um…what do you mean Vegeta?' Krillin asked, expecting a harsh response from Vegeta like he usually does.
'I can't explain it!' Vegeta just reply simply. He sounded like he was holding back his rage.
'So Link?' Cell began to say again crossing his arms. 'This is your full power is it?' Cell began to smirk and chuckle at himself.
'So! Link's full power is now levelled with Goku. I was expecting something more worth wild but if this is all I get then so be it!' Cell thought to himself. Cell cracked his head to the side and got into his fighting stance. His left shoulder was faced towards Link. 'Show me what you got Link!'
Suddenly, the yellow light faded from Link's body. The light disappeared from his feet and moved towards Link's head. As the light disappeared over his boots, everyone noted that this leather boots and black pants, as the light pasted above Link's waist were restored. No rips or holes what so ever. The light past Link neck and they saw his green tunic was restored as well. And then the light fully disappeared and everyone saw Link face with his…
'WHAT?' Cell shouted.
'THAT…that can't be!' Vegeta also shouted.
Everyone gasped as they stared at Link; their mouths hung wide open. Piccolo stared, and the harder he stared the harder it was for him to believe.
'Its…not possible!' Piccolo shouted slowly.
'I can't believe it…I thought it was impossible…he can't' Trunks was lost in words, as he couldn't describe what he saw.
'Whoa!' Yamcha and Krillin both exclaimed. 'Way ago Link! Add another super fighter to the team! The pair cheered. They sort of did a bit of a dance.
'Link…they were right…' Tien began to say. He didn't know how best to say anything at the moment. 'Y-you're a…'
'Super saiyan?' Goku and Gohan finished off Tien's statement.
Link stood there with his yellow aura flaring up. Link golden hair stood up like Trunks' hair when it was short, with the two bits of hair down his face. Link bulked his muscle as he brought his arms up to his side.
'Let's do this Cell!'
