Chapter 2

Cell launched at Goku throwing punches like mad. Goku managed to dodge them and throw in a few of his own. Finally, Goku managed to connect a kick to Cell's head. He then brought both fists over his head and knocked Cell into the ground. Just as Cell was beginning to crawl from the impact crater, Goku cupped his hands. "KA... ME... HA... ME..."

"You wouldn't," Cell declared as he saw the attack. "With that much power you'd destroy the earth if you missed"

Goku fazed out and appeared beside and slightly below Cell. "HA!!!!!!!"

Cell, having no time to prepare a defense, was carried up into the air by the wave. A few seconds later Cell's torso came falling from the air. The head, legs, and one arm hand all been destroyed.

"All right Goku beat him," Krillin exclaimed.

"It's not over yet I can still feel Cell's power," Gohan replied.

Sure enough by that time Cell had completely regenerated. "All right Goku lets finish this." Cell screamed as his power grew even higher.

Goku similarly raised his power and the two were at it again. Blows were traded faster than the eye can see. Goku connected with a right hook only to have Cell retaliate with a punch to the gut. The two traded blows for several minutes until Cell finally knocked Goku into the ground hard. The Super Saiyan was just beginning to get up when Cell kicked him into another mountain.

"Give up," Cell taunted. "You're losing power faster then me and have no chance to win."

"What Goku's going to lose?" Krillin asked.

"Kakarot can't win," Vegita stated flatly. "If he continues he will die."

"I'll never give up to you." Goku charged Cell only to be knocked back by the monster. Goku found himself lying on the ground with Cell's foot on top of his chest. Cell formed a ki ball and pointed it at Goku's head.

"It's time to die," the monster taunted.

"No dad," Gohan shouted from the crowd. A bright gold aura surrounded the young Super Saiyan as his power grew immensely. Suddenly his hair spiked strait up and grew a few inches longer. He had become a Super Saiyan 2. "Leave my dad alone, Cell."

Cell looked over at the extremely pissed half-Saiyan. This slight distraction was enough for Goku to raise his fingers to his forehead and use instant transmission to escape Cell. "Gohan stay out of this. I can handle it."

"Oh really," Cell asked intrigued. "Are you holding back on me or is your spawn truly more powerful than you?"

Goku screamed as he powered up even more. His power quickly passed Cell's and kept climbing. His hair stood up sharp and grew a few inches. "So Cell what do you think of Super Saiyan 2?" Goku asked the confused monster.

"But how'd you gain so much power?" Cell blurted out. Before Goku could answer, Cell charged at the ascended Super Saiyan with a kick to the head. Goku easily dodged and delivered a kick to Cell's stomach. Cell grunted as a confused Android 18 came flying out of Cell's tail. Cell, now in his second form, steamed with anger. "If I can't beat you I'll destroy the whole planet." With that cell began to grow. "When I self-destruct all of you will die with me."

"Oh no you don't," Goku shouted. He cupped his hands. "KA... ME... HA... ME...."The blue beam instantly formed in Goku's hand. :"HA!!!!!!!!!!!" Goku shouted as the kamehameha wave shot out toward the growing monster. The wave hit Cell and pushed him up into the air and out into space. His self-destruct exploded harmlessly in space.

The Z fighters erupted in cheers. They were short lived however when Cell reappeared in his perfect form. "That was a good move saving the earth like that Goku." Cell walked toward the Super Saiyan. "I figured you'd sacrifice yourself trying to save them"

"But how are you back?" Goku stammered.

"As long as the nucleus in my head is intact I can fully regenerate. And thanks to the Saiyan cells in me I am now more powerful than ever after that near death experience." Cell shouted and powered up. His level reached close to what Goku had achieved. He charged Goku and delivered a punch to the Super Saiyan's face. Goku retaliated with a kick to the monster's side. The two Superpowers were soon at it again even faster and more aggressive than before.

Can Goku defeat Cell after such a power boost or does our monster still have a few tricks up his sleeve?

I know another cliffhanger. Well read and review please.
