'Is Link even serious about defeating Cell?' Vegeta mumbled, folding his arms and turning his head away from the battle between Link and Cell.
Vegeta had watched the fight and nothing Link did convinced the proud saiyan that Link was capable of finishing Cell. The only thing Vegeta was sure of was Link was able to piss Cell right off. 'I mean, if he was going to defeat Cell, he would of done it by now!'
So far, Vegeta was speaking some sense. The Z gang knew how Vegeta felt when Link came to clam he was going to defeat Cell, but had yet to see any results.
'Maybe, Link is toying with Cell…' Piccolo suggest, crossing his arms like Vegeta. Piccolo watched Link and Cell, still standing there (Cell is on fire and ice) and briefly closed his eyes. '…But Link has no wishes in toying with Cell. Link only wants Cell dead, so…'
'So… if he's not toying with Cell,' Tien spoke up, moving behind the green Namek. 'Then what is he doing, Piccolo?' Piccolo opened his eyes At Tien's question and began to growl. Not in an angry sort of way, but more in an annoyed way. Tien heard this and began to step away from Piccolo, but still waited for an answer.
'P-Piccolo?' Tien called out to Piccolo, still stepping away just encase Tien was going to get a yelling from the Namek. But Piccolo, from his sudden crouched state, calmed his growling and stood up straight.
'Sorry Tien…I have no idea what Link is planning' Piccolo spoke, sounding calmer then before. Piccolo shook his hands, as he had tightened his fist too much, and again folded his arms. 'Link wasn't telling me anything…he wants us to just sit back and… enjoy the show'
As Piccolo finished broadcasting the telepathic conversation between Piccolo and Link everyone turned around to face the Namek. Piccolo sighed and remained still.
'Link wants us to just sit back…?' Tien repeated the first part of Piccolo's sentence. Soon Yamcha came running up beside Tien with one fist in front of his face.
'…And enjoy the show? Is he that confident Piccolo?' Yamcha asked, finishing the second part of Piccolo's sentence.
'He sounded very sure of himself, I have no doubt that he has something planed' Piccolo assure the gang, while in his statue like state. 'But that's all he told me!' Piccolo shouted, shooting open his eyes so everyone would stop asking him question that he didn't have the answer to.
'He too cocky!' Vegeta snarled. 'Thinking he could defeat Cell! Gohan is stronger then Link and yet Link claims he can defeat this monster where Gohan hasn't!' Vegeta unfolded his arms and began to crouch, with his fist as his side ready for a fight. 'What? Was Gohan not even trying or something, ha! Is that what gave Link this ridiculous idea!' Vegeta joked, mocking Link and somehow mocking Gohan too.
'Gohan wasn't trying…' Goku mumbled in just a voice to get everyone's attention. Gohan's expression, after hearing what his father and even Vegeta's said, turned into an unhappy frown.
'WHAT!' Vegeta cried out as his joke held truth.
'Is that true Gohan?' Trunks asked, not sounding too friendly or angry. Everyone heard the ascended saiyan sigh, before turning to face everyone. Even with his sad look on, his ascended super saiyan features, made him look angry.
'It's true Trunks' Gohan admitted to his friends. There was a long paused in Gohan's expiation, but the young saiyan continued. 'I was just playing with Cell. Even before Link and my father told me I was humiliating Cell, I was still playing…'
'You what!' Vegeta shouted, interrupting Gohan. There came a quick tear from Gohan's eye that no body notice, but before anymore ran down his cheek, Gohan started to shake his head angrily.
'I've could of finish Cell when I ascended beyond super saiyan! With all that power I…I…I wanted to break Cell down!' Suddenly Gohan stopped shaking his head. His eyes cleared up and his furious expression returned. 'I wanted to humiliate Cell! Break him down, not just physically…but in spirit! I want him to suffer!' Gohan outburst in rage caused him to power up.
Everyone was shocked at learning Gohan was only toying with Cell, but even more, how much Gohan really wanted Cell to be broken down. Everyone easily gathered Gohan had a right to do what he wanted. Cell was pushing him over the edge and saiyans were very angry spices. And Gohan, over the years had built up quiet the rage, for when his friends were in danger.
.
.
'GOHAN!' Goku shouted, suddenly startling everyone, especially Gohan. Gohan turned to his father, with those furious eyes and Goku returned the same glare. 'That enough Gohan! Calm down!' Gohan at first was too enraged to do as his father said, but then dropped his fist and stood up straight, closing his eyes and slowly calming down.
The group knew Gohan had fully calmed down when his super saiyan aura disappeared.
'I'm sorry… I didn't mean to burst out at you guys' Gohan apologised, sadly, again his ascended super saiyan features didn't make him look sad.
'Burst out?' Link thought, overhearing Gohan's sudden outburst about how he hated Cell. 'That was more of an explosion! How can one small boy have all that rage?' as soon as Link thought that, he paused and lowered his head and soon smiled. 'What am I saying? I was once that small boy…or, I still am that boy. Just in a different body. I'm a child at heart and mind in a future body, that alls. And the rage that sleep within me has yet to awaken…'
Link closed his eyes, in a brief reflection and then, reopened them. Link began to breathe heavily as he slowly lifted his head up straight. His eyes again fall onto Cell, who was still half cooking from his fire arrow, and half frozen from his ice arrow. Link had come a long way since his battles in Hyrule that his magic effect held longer, instead giving a quick burst and then dying out. Link's fire and ice arrows held Cell longer then a few second, and were holding their magic effects for more then two hours.
Link was very pleased with how far he has come, through all of this. He practised a new style of fighting and acquired a new kind of power that had always flown through him and channelled it to become even more powerful. 'Ganondorf going to be sorry now' Link thought wickedly, foreseeing Ganondorf's own end. But first, Link knew he had to do away with this monster that lay before him. If Link could dispose of Cell, he knew he could easily finish Ganondorf.
.
.
'I hope your ready for this Cell!' Link shouted out to Cell. Link wasn't sure if Cell got the message. Cell was waving his arms about like mad, and was rocking back and forth, trying to cause him to break from his frozen legs. And also, Cell was screaming, yelling cursed words to Link, but they were all jumbled up in rage. Link thought of waiting to get any sign of acknowledgment, but from Cell's action, he thought best not to wait. 'Very well…' Link whispered to himself. 'I have no time to waste after all…I can still feel Ganondorf slowly bring down my barrier back in Hyrule'
Link slowly felt his chest. The burning pain he felt on his way to the Cell games stayed with him. He felt the fire burn greater the more time passed. Ganondorf was so close to getting in, Link was afraid of Ganondorf following him here. If Link were to face Ganondorf, it would be on their home ground, in their own time.
As Link sighed as the pain continued to burn away at him, eating him at most, Link eyes darted open, fixing again on Cell. Link's left hand arose from his side and sieged the handle of the Master Sword. With a quick pull, the Master Sword was ripped clean from it sheath, swung out in front of Link and then sieged by both hands.
Link with his right hand on the handle, let go of the sword and the held out his right arm straight and then bent it so it look like he was defending himself.
Link took a deep breath and yelled out, 'Mirror Shield!' The red jewel attached to Link's silver gauntlet, began to glitter and then glowed. It radiated a clean burst of beautiful light and from a cloud of white dust revealed the red and silver shinning surface of the faithful Mirror Shield. Link smiled, seeing one of his items stilled had a use in this world, especially against Vegeta training session.
.
.
'A Shield!' Vegeta shouted.
The group was stunned and some, like Yamcha were baffled. The group only just got off the topic of how Link was to bring Cell down, but now they felt like another discussion was about to happen.
'What is he thinking bring that, blasted shield out?' Vegeta started again to grumble. This was the final step. Vegeta had finally lost all confidence in Link's powers. 'There is no way he is going to beat Cell at this rate!' Vegeta thought angrily before he spoke again. 'What is he planning?'
'Maybe he going to deflect an attack with the shield! Like he did with your 'Final Flash' attack, father' Trunks suggested, remembering Link uses of the same shield against Vegeta. Both Link and Vegeta went down with that shield, but Link had his fairy to gain the advantage.
Vegeta began to growl louder and his whole body shook. Vegeta's head quickly turned to the side, just enough to catch a glimpse of his son. Before Vegeta spoke, Trunks saw the memory he had recalled had hurt Vegeta's pride. 'S-Shut up!' Vegeta shouted back at his son's suggestion.
Trunks wasn't hurt that his father said that. Because Trunks knew anything that hurts Vegeta's pride always got the rough treatment.
'But Trunks may not be far off from the truth, Vegeta' Piccolo said, siding with Trunks. Vegeta shifted his eyes to Piccolo and only grumbled. 'Link could be expecting an attack. His getting ready to shot it back!'
'Are you sure about that Piccolo?' Krillin asked, not fully agreeing with Trunks suggestion. Piccolo didn't reply, but just sighed.
'I don't know…'
.
.
Link stood up straight and turned his wrist over, so the Mirror Shield showed Link's reflection, in its smooth surface. Link gazed at his own reflection; he was amazed at what he looked like as a Super Saiyan, even if it was taken from Cell. Link knew his whole body was different, but he didn't know just how different. It was truly amazing. But Link quickly dismissed his own reflection and remained focus on the mission at hand.
Link crouched slightly at the knees, his left arm hang lazily with the Master Sword in hand as he lifted the right arm with the Mirror Shield above his left shoulder. Link then narrowed his eyes and quickly tossed his right arm to it proper side.
As Link did, the Mirror Shield released itself from Link's gauntlet and soared off towards Cell. The Shield sailed across the air, and because of its shape, it began to spin. As its spin increased faster, it reflected a blinding light from the sun as it soared towards Cell.
Cell was still hurting from Link's earlier attacks that he hardly noticed the Frisbee like Mirror Shield flying towards him. The Shield was inches from slicing Cell's head, when it shifted it direction and just soared around Cell's head, then continued to head straight like it was doing before.
Link narrowed his eyes, but with a smile. Link almost didn't care if it had sliced through Cell or not. Link again arose his right hand, this time out towards the run away Shield.
'Mirror Shield! Copy Cat!'
The Shield kept flying further away but as Link shouted 'Mirror Shield! Copy Cat!' the Shield just suddenly stop. It remained spinning, but was frozen in mid air. The shield titled onto its side, facing the smooth surfaces towards Link and Cell.
(Imagine this part like a computer scanner) The smooth reflecting surface reflected Cell, who was half engulfed in flame and ice, and Link who was behind Cell. The Shield then focus onto Link, like a computer does. A white line from the top of the shield snaked it way down the Shield's surface, replacing the image of both Link and Cell to just Link, holding his arm out.
The Shield kept this image imprinted onto it smooth surface. Link, from a fifty-meter distance could just see the image with his sharp emerald green eyes. Link again smiled and opened his mouth again, to shout another order to the shield. 'Mirror Shield…Copy!'
The Shield began to hum and then glow, as if it was about to deliver a charge of energy, but it just kept building the energy. But before long, the glowing shield started changing shape. It was like a blob, trying to rearrange itself into a new form. And rearrange itself it did. The shield in its bright glow morphed itself into a copy of…Link.
The bright light the shield created faded and standing there was another Link. Exactly like the original. The copy stood there with it right hand held out and a copy of the Master Sword in its left hand. And best yet, the copy was also in Super Saiyan form like Link.
.
.
'W-what! Two Links!' Piccolo and Vegeta both shouted, but their words coming out in mumbled words.
'Link copied himself' Trunks stated, staring at Link and his copied self. 'He used the shield to create a Mirror Image!'
'Well, it does make sense…he created a Mirror self from a Mirror Shield…' Krillin whispered to himself, seeing the two Links standing exactly like each other. 'But which ones that real Link…I mean, we know which ones the real one now, but later if they get into a battle…how will we know?'
'That it bro!' Yamcha shouted, patting Krillin on the back. Krillin turned and stared at the happy Yamcha. 'That's what Link wants! When Link and his copy fight Cell, Cell won't know which is the real one either!'
'That brilliant Krillin!' Tien and Trunks both praised Krillin for stumbling onto Link's plan. Krillin gave a big smile and placed both hands on his hips.
'Well, what do you expect from the main man! Ha-ha!' Krillin laughed. But his laughter died down into a weak smile. 'But is was only a guess'
.
.
Link smiled and slowly stood up straight, as did his mirror self mimic. Link again held out his right hand towards his Mirror self and the copy did the same. Both took a deep breath and gazed at each other.
'Copy… Multiply by Twenty!' Link shouted. As Link shouted out the copy's new order, he heard his voice in echo. The copy just didn't look like him; it was also given the same voice as him. It was a complete copy.
The copy's body glowed shortly and from behind it, like someone was standing behind it exactly, two copies of Link walked out from the first copy. They didn't hold their hands out like the first copy did. They took on their own pose. The one to the left of the copy had its arms crossed and the other had one hand on its hip. Then, as the two new copies stood still, all three glowed shortly and just as before an extra two appeared from one of the three. Each one had a different stance and the cycle just repeated.
Link just folded his arms and smiled at his copies multiply.
.
.
Cell screamed out in pain. He had finally had enough. Cell, with rage burning in his eyes, grabbed both the arrows in his shoulder and leg and ripped them both out of his body. There came a bit of blood from both wounds, but they both healed as soon as the arrowheads came out of his skin.
The fire that engulfed Cell's upper body flared out and the ice that sealed his legs, just faded, disappeared without melting. Cell collapsed to the ground as the ice vanished. He fell upon his knees and his melted hands grabbed at the ground.
Cell, with raged filled eyes stared at the ground, but mostly at his hands. His green hands were melted like candle wax. His whole upper body was. Cell could feel, as he tried to grin angrily, that his skin was cracking after cooling down from the fire.
Cell closed his eyes and began to growl with rage. His growl only just increases slightly until Cell burst into a scream, letting his closed teeth part, so he could scream. As Cell screamed, his melted skin began to crack further and even break away. Cell took in a deep breath and gave out one might roar, suddenly powering up his 'Super Saiyan' aura. At that point, Cell's melted skin just exploded from his body, revealing anew layer of freshly made skin.
Cell stayed crouched over the ground, breathing heavily as his melted skin revealed his newly regenerated skin. Regeneration took a lot of power, power that Cell would gladly give up to stay perfect.
Cell again stared down at his newly formed hands. Back into perfection they were. Cell sighed and closed his eyes, remaining bent over the ground. 'Ah! Perfection once again. My skin finally, matches my power…perfect' Cell thought, giving a soft chuckle, until his eyes burst open and his mouth turned into a frown. 'No thanks to that idiot boy, Link! He again tries to bring me down! But all he proves is he could bring down my patience!' Cell fingers suddenly dug into the dirt, and then curled back into fists. 'I am an elite warrior! I am perfect! There is no way this idiot boy can ever bring down the mighty Cell! It is impossible for anyone to defeat me!' Cell head sunk into his chest and his frown suddenly became a wicked smile. 'I will just have to prove how strong I am! He is out classed, out powered, and out smarted! Yes, he is FINISH!'
Cell began to chuckle once again and raised his head up from the ground. He wanted to look into the eyes of his victim. Cell was sure of himself Link stood no longer threat and that it would end here. Cell's head was about half way up when he decide to spring up to feet. Cell stuck his chest out and spread his wings apart, as he took a deep breath.
'All right, Link. Now that game over with lets get the game started…' Cell began to announce Link's doom. Cell raised a finger to the sky; Cell's head was point to the sky as well. Soon both his head and arm fall down so they could point at the doomed Link…
But when Cell's head became levelled, he wasn't sure which Link he was pointing at. Cell arm dropped and so did his jaw. 'WHAT!' Cell gasped staring at the vast crowd of Links surrounding him. 'How is this possible?'
'This will be rather hard to explain, but try to follow if you can…' a new Link appeared from Cell's right. Cell's head quickly spun to face this new copy of his foe. The Link smirked and then began to explain Link's technique. 'There is a certain item in the world that has the ability to reflect energy type attacks. Though this may not seem important, this item also has the unique ability to copy a person's energy type and then duplicate it into a COMPLETE copy!' The Link smiled and spread his hands out. 'That is what we are…copies of Link! We have his strength; we have his power! In short Cell, we are Link! Though we take on this complete form of Link, we are not solid enough to withstand any strong attacks…that! Is our only flaw'
'So…' Cell slowly mumbled, listening to the copy's explanation of this new army of Links. 'Link must have also copied my technique, along with the super saiyan ability, of creating copies of himself. His using my Cell Jrs. for himself!'
'That's what our kind of copies are meant to be like…' Another Link stepped forwards from behind Cell. 'Were meant to mimic everything about Link, his actions, his voice, his very power. We Cell, are completely identical in everyway!'
'There's no way to tell which one of us is the real Link…you'll have to guess' Another Link spoke up, this time in front of Cell. Cell turned to look at this one standing directly in front of him.
He was right. Just by looking at this Link, there was no obvious way to tell if it was copied or not. This Link had Link's look, the same scars, the same hair, eyes, build and sword. If Cell didn't know better, he would of said this one in front of him was the real Link. But then, he would say it for all of them.
Cell continued to stare, until Cell just gave a short grunt and punched this Link in the face. Link flung his head back after the punch impacted straight into his face, but not drawing any blood from his busted nose. Link's feet lifted from the ground and then his whole body fall completely.
Cell smile as his fist connected. Cell opened his mouth to say something, but Link's body just exploded into bright lights that slowly vanished. After seeing that, Cell's mouth once again dropped open.
'Wrong guess Cell' Said a Link, who was standing next to the copy that just vanished. Cell quickly stared at this Link and gave him the same treatment as the other copy, a punch in the face. The fist made solid contact. The Link spun around and slowly fell to the ground but disintegrated into lights before hitting the ground, just like the other one.
'I would watch what you doing Cell!' another Link spoke up, this one behind Cell. Cell looked over his shoulder to spot this new Link. Once founded, Cell readies another fist and then charged him. 'WAIT!' Link shouted, causing Cell to stop. 'For every copy you destroy of us…' Link suddenly paused and then glowed for a short second and from behind him, two Links stepped out. Cell lowered his fist and stared, at first in shock and then horror as the sea of Links glowed and sprung another two from behind them. '…You create two more of us'
Cell easily counted twenty Links. But if two came from one, he would be now looking at sixty Links (132060 (thought that might help)).
'This is impossible! Link can't have such a technique as this! It would require too much power! He can't possibly do this!' Cell thought as he began to stare at all the Links staring back at him.
Suddenly one of the Links jumped from the crowd and floated in mid-air with the Master Sword in his hands. The Link raised the sword in the air and then pointed it at Cell.
'CHARGE!'
.
.
Cell stared at the swarm of Links in front of him, reach for their Master Swords. The Links gave Cell an unwelcome smile, before retrieving their swords from their sheaths and then charging the monster with swords by their side. Cell quickly turned his shaking hands into fists and leaped into the air, fly away at great speed.
The sea of Links saw Cell's action and followed in suit. Still with sword by their side, they flew behind Cell, closing the distance between them and him.
Cell peered over his should and gasped at how close they were behind him. Cell narrowed his eyes while look and then spun around. Two of his hands held energy blast that he threw into the way of Links. The group of Links scattered as the blasts descended into their ranks, but luckily some of the Links got caught and were vaporized.
Cell smiled wickedly but soon faded as he saw a swarm of Links glow and sprout two new Links.
Cell growled and then flew straight into the swarm. As Cell hit the centre of the swarm, he began battling as soon as his first fist came into contact with one of the Links. The Link vanished in a burst of light after flying through the swarm claiming two others along the way, also causing them to disappear.
One Link tried a flying vertical slice at Cell, but missed and received a blow to the back of the head, disappearing soon after. Two Links double team and trying both vertical and horizontal slashes. They claimed Cell's left arm and right leg. The two Links gave smiles at their accomplishments, but soon saw Cell's regeneration at work, sprouting new parts to replace the lost ones. The Links raised their sword for another attack but received a swipe kick to the heads. Both Links spun and then disappeared.
Cell peered over his shoulder and threw a blast to upcoming attack. The Links could avoid the quick blast and soon the group disintegrated.
One Link tried a back attack but Cell saw that. Cell grabbed this Link by the throat and began twirling Link around, over his head before throwing him into an attack group of four Links. The four, plus the one Cell threw stopped the group completely, before Cell blasted them, taking a few on the sides out as well.
Cell quickly folded his arms, building small charges in his hands and then spread both arms out to the sides, causing two large blasts to emit from his hands. The Links that got caught in the blast turned black before vanishing.
There had gather a swarm of Links around Cell, waiting for their turn at the monster. So many had gathered that they created a sphere so all the Links could see the battles, and learn from the others mistake. Suddenly Cell broke through the bottom of the sphere, collecting two Links in his hands. Cell smashed the two Links together, so they both disappeared and then with a super charged blast spun around and threw the blast into the sphere. The explosion was too quick for any of the Links to escape and claimed the lives of the entire sphere.
Cell came to a halt and watched the glowing explosion grow; evaporating all the Links it touched. Cell started to laugh and broke out into a hysterical laugh, grabbing at his side to sooth the pain. 'Is that all you could gather up Link? Ha-ha! You got to try better then that!'
'Thanks for the tip' a voice said. Cell dropped his laughter and stared at the Link that spoke, from the now massing group around Cell. 'I'll keep that in mind' The Link said further. Cell eyes began to wonder at the new massive sphere surrounding him. There were so many Links, it look like Cell wasn't even causing a dint in the decrease of Links, but instead increase them.
'I told you Cell, the more you kill the copies, two more will sprout from the survivors!' another Link spoke from the sphere. Cell again turned his hands into fists and soon shouted out in rage, 'Where is he? Where is Link! Show yourself?'
The whole sphere broke out into laughter and replied 'WE ARE LINK!'
Cell lowered his head at the response he was giving. He was being mocked by a low level being, and even worse, he was being mocked by thousands of that low level being. Their voice ranged through his ears and mind. Cell felt like his head was going to explode. He couldn't take it anymore. Cell got into a crouched position where he began to growl, grunt, yell and scream. Cell's body began to bulk as he continued to crack under pressure from rage, he was quickly gathering from all the laughter he was getting. Cell's body then began to glow and turn a lighter shade of green.
The Links that surrounded Cell soon stopped laughing when they saw beams of energy emitting from the monster's body. They could feel the swell of energy begin to boil over in Cell. The Links could feel that, if that energy kept growing, it would burst out of Cell.
'Cell's going to explode!' One Link shouted.
'Come on! Stop him before he hits circuital power!' another Link shouted, breaking through the swarm to try and defuse Cell before he exploded. The swarm of Link soon caught on and followed suit, their sword ready to cut Cell down, to prevent him from exploding.
Cell continued to gather energy as the swarm was now close up to him. The first five Links that were closes to Cell swung their sword to cut through Cell. Their sword moved slowly as the blades drew closer to Cell's glowing body.
.
.
'AAARRRGGGHHH!'
Cell soon screamed, straightening his body and releasing the built up energy of rage. The swords that were close to Cell's body were flung back as the energy in Cell's body flooded out. The explosion Cell emitted was like a small orange ball that quickly widened and spread out. The whole massive group of Links that tried to stop Cell where too far in towards Cell to turn around. Those that tried to escape got hit in the back by the blast and disappeared. The Links that were very close to Cell were like shadows in the explosion light, which were vaporized instantly. After the giant explosion ball reached its maximum size, it exploded one more time, casting dust around the explosion site.
The whole area was cast in bright flashing lights of orange and yellow and strong gusting winds. The Z gang, held their position against the strong winds and debris of Earth flying at them. Goku and Gohan had to blast some of the large chunk of debris, into smaller, unnoticeable bits so the others didn't get hurt.
Above the arena and giant explosion, a figure stood floating in mid-air, with its arms crossed. Link green tunic and black pants changed coloured as the blast still cast everything in its colours. Link's hair swayed in the gusting winds Cell's blast caused and small bit of rocks clashed against his skin, but did not faze him.
'Link!' a voice shouted from behind Link. Link peered over his shoulder as one of his copies came up to him. Link found it kind of funny he was talking to himself.
'What is it Mirror Shield?' Link asked his Mirror Shield formed Link. The Mirror Shield stood next to Link and cast its gaze down to the explosion that has yet to die.
'We're ready to begin the final attack on Cell' The Mirror Shield reported still staring at the blast. It cast it eyes on Link who was also looked down at the explosion.
'Good. Now I can finally says, 'this is the end of Cell' Link mumbled. Link then turned to face his Mirror Shield self, lowering his arms. 'Tell the final wave to get ready! We're taking Cell down now!'
'What are you planning to do exactly?' The Mirror Shield asked Link before leaving to give the word. Link nodded and turned back to the explosion.
'I'll deliver my final message to Cell and then…' Link stopped in mid sentence and narrowed his eyes. '…We'll see the monster Cell shredded into nothing! Oblivion awaits him now!'
After Listening to Link, the Mirror Shield nodded and flew towards the ground. Leaving Link by himself.
Link reached for his blade and drew it out of its sheath slowly. When it was free from its case, Link held the blade with both hands, in front of his face diagonally, so his right eyes was covered by the blade.
'Now Cell! It time to meet your end'
.
.
Within the dust caused by the explosion, Cell stood there, breathing heavily after releasing such a large amount of energy. There was sweat, pouring from Cell's forehead that dip it ways down Cell's arms and legs. Cell, from his breathing stood up straight and began to peer around the cloud of dust that his explosion caused. Nothing was there. No more laughter. No more Copies of Link. It would be just Cell and the real Link left now.
Cell paused as the thought of the battle just between him and Link began. Cell so wanted to release so much pain onto the boy.
'Oh that felt so good!' Cell thought, cracking his neck to the side. 'No more copies of Links to bother me anymore! It time for the real showdown to begin!' Cell took one more look around to confirm that Link was the only one left. 'Link tried and failed his last attempt of defeating me! Now there is nothing more he can do to stop me!'
'Come out Link!' Cell shouted, drawing out the young man. 'Your attempted of a quick finished failed! So, now, face me!'
As Cell finished, a shadow appeared in the dust. Cell quickly sense Link's energy and turned around to see the dust figured. Cell smiled and waited for either a quick attack or prolonged death from Link. The dust cloud around Cell began to lift and soon clear, revealing the dust figure to be Link, who just stood there in mid-air waiting. Link stood on a side stance, with his left shoulder pointing to Cell, with his Master Sword in that left hand.
.
.
From the ground, the Z gang unburied themselves from the dust the winds had dumped on them. Hands broke through the surface of Earth as both Vegeta and Trunks tried to dig themselves out of the ground. Tien and Yamcha were only partly buried, so they didn't have to struggle free. Krillin found safety behind a rock and was sheltered from the earth that covered the rest of the gang.
'Whoa! Guys are you alright?' Krillin asked, walking into the middle of the group that were digging themselves free. Yamcha and Tien who were the second paired free, were resting on the ground. Trunks was also on the ground expect Vegeta who was standing up, staring at Link and Cell.
'It comes down to this!' Vegeta said, not sure now whether Link was or was not going to defeat Cell. That last attack was very useful and might have done the trick if Cell didn't explode. Vegeta then lowered his head to Goku and Gohan, who were also watching like Vegeta was. 'I hope for our sake, Gohan, if Link doesn't succeed, then you will'
'So Link! Are you the bit worried now? You copies have failed!' Cell asked, with folded arms and a big smile on his face. Link lightened up his face, by raising his eyebrows and slightly nodding his head.
'I must admit that was very good thinking Cell, release all that energy just to evaporate by copies' Link said, sounding very friendly. But then Link stopped nodding his head and returned his lighten up face back to normal. 'Thought it did take you longer to figure it out!'
'What?' Cell asked sounding confused at Link response. 'I just destroyed your last hope of beating me! And all you can say is, 'it took me longer to figure out!' You have lost all hope of winning, Link!' Cell shouted, making it clear to Link that he had lost. Link just shook his head and pointed his Master Sword at Cell.
'No Cell! You have lost all Hope!' Link replied, Link's voice becoming louder. 'You idiot! Do you actually think all my copies got caught in the explosion Cell?'
'If they didn't'…where are they?' Cell asked, trying to make Link feel stupid. Link narrowed his eyes and with his right pointed around him and Cell.
'They are all around us Cell! Thousands of them! You better be ready for this Cell!' Link answered Cell question, with anger in his voice. Cell again smiled and peered around them. Now that the dust was clearing, Cell could see everything. There were no other copies of Link; there was nothing but mountain and rocks. Cell peered back at Link and then just burst out into laughter.
'You've really have lost it haven't you Link? Ha-ha!' Cell laughed, with a big grin. Cell thought he had finally drove Link to the point of insanity. 'There is no more of copies around us, Link!'
'You're Wrong!' Link interrupted Cell's laughter. 'Just because they're not around us, doesn't mean they're not there!'
'Oh really? Then please…prove me wrong!' Cell shouted, daring Link to reveal his army of Links. Link at this point was really annoyed and couldn't stand listening to Cell a moment longer.
'Fine!' Link shouted. Cell laid back and waited for Link to summon this army Cell knew didn't existed. Link slowly placed his index finger and thumb into his mouth, just at the tip and gave out a loud whistle.

Out from the ground came a large explosion, as if something with force broke through the Earth. Both Cell and Link stared at the Earth beneath them as countless area just began to explode. From their distance it was small puffs of clouds, but the sounds they heard knew it had a lot of power.
'No! This can't be! I-Its I-impossible!' Cell thought as his mouth hung open, staring down at the Links that flew towards him and Link. The army of Links broke through the Earth and continue to surround Link and Cell. Cell was counting countless explosion from the Earth, it like the whole ground hide Links copies. He was so far counted five thousand Links and yet they kept coming out of the Earth.
The ground shook from each Link that burst through the Earth. Even the Z gang were losing their footing as Links were popping out from around them.
'How could Link hide so many of himself with us seeing it?' Vegeta asked, dodging three Links that popped out of the ground around him. 'Argh! This is madness!'
'There so many of them!' Piccolo stated, trying to keep his balance and not fall on the ground.
Krillin also tried to keep his balance but found it easier to just sit on the ground.
'Gees! Link really going all out!' Krillin stated, rubbing his head. Krillin was about to laugh, when the ground around him began to shake. But the whole place was shaking he wasn't sure if it was just him. Krillin went to stand up and just move out of the way but the ground he stood suddenly exploded, casting Krillin to the ground.
'Sorry Krillin!' the Link apologies, turning around to see who he had knocked down. Krillin peered up and the Link who was slowly fading from view and just rubbed the back of his head again.
'T-thanks…'
.
.
After ten minutes of explosion from the Earth, there came a quick silence as the final Link joined in ranks. Cell founded himself again the centre of attention. There was over ten millions Link gathered around him. Ten Millions he head to deal with. Cell's mouth hung open and his whole body stiffen up. Cell was over come with unnatural fear that suddenly appeared in his body. Cell tried to calculate and strategise how he was going to handle ten million Links by himself. It was impossible to have over a million copies of oneself so it was impossible to fend off million enemies as well.
Link slowly stared at all the Links that swarmed around him and Cell. 'This is it! It finally comes to and end!' Link thought, turning his gaze at Cell. As soon as Link saw Cell's frighten expression, it brought him a smile to his face.
'Cell!' Link called out to the now seemly frightened monster. Cell paused. Cell closed his mouth and bared his teeth in anger as to not show his fear. 'Don't try to hide you fear Cell! Your like a book, fear is written all over you face!'
'I-I am not afraid!' Cell reassured Link and, importantly himself. Cell got into a crouch position and curled his hand into fists. 'I am an elite warrior! I have no equal!' Cell voice became out more and more afraid, but soon the more he repeated 'he was elite and had no equal' the more the fear lost its grip on him. 'You may have gathered more of yourselves to make me twitch but I'll just repeat the same thing and blow them all up!'
'You do Cell…and more will just keep coming to drain you of your power!' Link explained Cell. 'You'll lose so much that even a dog could defeat you!' Link said mockingly. Cell bared his teeth as he grin angrily.
'ENOUGH!' Cell screamed, looking like he was about to lose it and explode again. Cell narrowed his eyes as his whole body was shaking. Cell took a deep breath and screamed 'I AM NOT AFRAID!' Link smiled and held up his blade.
'THEN PROVE IT!' Link screamed, speeding off towards Cell in the middle of the massive sphere. The other Links raised their swords and followed the real Link. Every single Link sped towards Cell, with sword raised and each one screaming as they approached the monster. Cell narrowed his eyes and sped off towards Link, who was ahead of the main group.
'If I destroy the leader, then the rest will fall!' Cell thought evilly, as Link was in striking distance. Cell gave his usually smile, when he was about to win and began to laughed out loud as he swung a punch at Link.
Link smiled and then began to fade away. Cell's smile vanished as he saw Link trying to disappear. Link body faded more as he was transporting out of the way of Cell punch. Before disappearing Link said in a mocking tone, 'Goodbye Cell'
Link disappeared and the punch that Cell was sure to have hit Link missed. It was such a powerful punch, that if it had hit. Link would surely be dead. But now, Cell was left open and with the swarm of Links around him.
Cell was in fear as his eyes shot open, feeling a sharp pain in his back. Cell could suddenly hear something echoing through his mind. It was Link's voice. Cell could hear Link's voice echoing in his mind.
'Cell, this is your final act! You maybe powerful against me, but when you have a million of me…well, you've been out classed, out power, out smarted and out numbered! Goodbye…forever Cell'
.
.
At that, Cell was met with another sharp pain in his gut. Cell went down to grab at his gaping wound but received another throbbing pain to his left arms. Cell quickly held his multiple wounds, bitting his lip at the pain.
Cell, from the pain bouncing from around his body, opened his eyes and stared at the swarm of Links, rushing him with their swords held high. Cell could see his reflection in these copied blades. He saw his wounds and could feel something more… his own fear.
'So this is fear…' Cell thought, suddenly admitting defeat to himself. 'I am elite, yet I could not even see this! Have I finally found a warrior greater then I? … ' Cell watched at the blades began to rain, slicing through his perfect body. Cell didn't cry out in pain, nor tried to fight back against all million copies of Link. For once, he was helpless.
The Links rained from all direction, slicing Cell with their blades that pasted through Cell's body like butter, leaving a hot red scar from the encounter. As the blades left their mark on Cell, the copies of Link, transported out of the way, so the next wave could do their damage. Cell slowly endured the painful attacks from all million copies. But Cell still did not scream out in pain.
'Defeated…not by one, but by two ' was the final thought that left Cell's mind as everything faded out into darkness.
.
.
The rain of attacks continued until all the copies had their attack done. For a slipt second, Cell's whole body glowed red from the hot scars the blades engraved onto the monster's body. Suddenly a sphere of ten Links appeared around the lifeless red corpse.
'Quickly!' One Link shouted, placing his sword behind him. The Link bent his knees as his sword was held behind his back. The sword began to hum and then vibrate as it gathered energy. At first, the sword created an energy field of blue around the sword's blade and as the Link continued to build energy in the blade, the blue field turned orange. 'We have to destroy Cell before he regenerates!'
Another Link crouched like the first Link did and slowly began to build the energy in its sword. 'Will this work?' the Link asked, with its eyes narrowed. Two more followed suit and crouched in mid air to gather energy in their blades.
'Trust me!' one of the Links's said. The rest of the Links looked at this one Link who slowly got down into his crouch position to charge his blade. 'I've have foreseen this end! I trust in my abilities'
'Link? Are you really sure about this?' one of the copies closest to the real Link asked. Link, didn't respond but just grunted as his sword hit full power.
'WE"LL FIND OUT NOW!' Link shouted. The group of Links tightened their hold on their Master Swords and brought their sword forward, with all their strength. The group narrowed their eyes and bared their teeth as their body and sword got into an uncontrollable spin.
'SUPREME SPIN ATTACK!'
.
.
As the group cried out the techniques name, their sword exploded with the built up energy, out in a circular spin. The energy waves began to cut through Cell, slicing his already sliced body into even smaller pieces.
But the Links cast the Spin Attack wave energy way too close in proximity to each other that the copies were destroyed as the energy wave hit them. Link felt his whole begin to shred as the energy waves touched his flesh. Link closed his eyes in pain and transported out of the waves path.
From the destroyed Links copies, another group appeared in place of the destroyed ones, releasing upon Cell's floating body the same technique. Again, the energy wave ripped through Cell's body and then through the Links own body, causing them to disappear. But as that group vanished, another group appeared and again released their attack, also being destroyed.
Link stood above the final attack his copies made against Cell. Link's body was bleeding from different wounds, that the Spin Attacks caused him. He held his Master Sword still in his left hand, blood dripping down from his shoulder.
'Everything is going as you had said Link' The Mirror Shield copy said to his wounded master. Link peered over his shoulder at his unhurt copy. The Mirror shield was the only copy that could withstand an attack, since it was a shield. 'The copies we made continue to use the spin attack technique, they are destroying themselves after releasing their energy waves'
'Will they just make more copies?' Link asked, staring down at a growing oddly shaped sphere of Spin attack energy waves, around Cell.
'The copies are going into that sphere to quickly for their body to produce any more copies. At this rate, we will be the only two left' The Mirror Shield reported. Link sighed and remained in silence, holding his wounds.
.
.
After a long and drooling hour, the final group of Links unleashed their final attack on Cell's body. Though now, Cell's body was completely shredded into nothing. Cell's body was continuously shredded from the continuous use of the Spin Attack energy wave that nothing was left. Where Cell once stood, there remained nothing left. Link could sense Cell's power faded into the wind. Body and spirit completely destroyed.
'That's…that's it then' Link muttered, his wounds causing him great pain. The Mirror shield looked down at his wounded master and took up aid, supporting Link's left arm around its back.
'The last copy…spent. And Cell…urgh!'
'And Cell's completely gone…we did well' The Mirror shield finished off. Link started to laugh but his wounds caused his laughter to come out in painful groans. The Mirror shield grabbed Link's head and rest his master head on its chest. 'Rest now master, you need to recover you strength!'
As soon as Link's head rested against shield human like chest, Link fall into a restful sleep. His eyes needed no order or force to close and just completely closed shut, letting Link's dream take wing.
Link thought peacefully of his return to Hyrule once he said his goodbye to his friends. For this victory could not have happen if it weren't for Goku and the gang. 'What a story this would be' Link thought, imagining what everyone would say to his adventure to another world. 'I best keep this to myself until I clear it up with the Sages…'
