Chapter 5

Cell Saga: Return of Kain and Serrath

Cell had arrived and was terrorising planet Earth, he had killed thousands. He had escaped from Piccolo, who had merged with Kami. He then set his sights on the androids. He had successfully absorbed Android 17# from then, he had easily defeated Android 16# and was looking for Android 18#, but the search proved difficult, due to intervention from Tien. The story goes on from here…

Goku and Gohan where sitting, waiting for their turn in the hyperbolic time chamber, when Goku sensed a powerful power level heading towards Cell. Gohan could sense it too, but ddint know who it was "What is it dad?" Gohan asked, Goku smiled "An old friend has decided to show himself once again" Gohan tried sensing again "Oh, it… its him!" Piccolo seemed shocked as well "His power has increased a lot since we last met!" Goku nodded "Yes it has Piccolo… lets see what he can do, huh?" Piccolo nodded.

Cell could sense someone coming towards him, so he stopped blowing up cities in the search for 18# to see who it was. Cell was smiling 'Oh, who could it be… Trunks? Maybe Vegeta… hah, how fun!' However, it was an unfamiliar person who hovered before Cell, "Who are you?" Cell asked this warrior. Cells opponent looked at him "My name is Serrath… protector of the planet Soryai… you must be Cell… I must say, you are quite strong… how unoriginal it must be to know that strength comes for that of the others…" Cell growled at this remark, "How dare you insult me!" Serrath smiled "Well, lets see what you will do about it!" For a while, they hovered there, just staring at eachother, neither making a move, after a gust of wind blew between them, they both charged at eachother, throwing punches and kicks at eachother before backing off. Cell laughed and said "Well, you are a strong one, I think I will enjoy this…" Serrath didn't say a word, instead he prepared an attack, he created two energy balls in each hand, then slamming his hands together over his head to make a single energy ball. He looked at Cell and said "Enjoy all you want…" he ball started glowing at a faster rate "Shimmering Rain!" Serrath threw the energy ball above Cell, when it detonated on itself, causing small, yet powerful beam attacks to literally rain down on Cell. Serrath looked at Cell, who now didn't seem amused "That hurt!" Cell shouted, he stuck out one hand "Big Bang Attack!" Cell fired Vegeta's trademark blast attack at Serrath, who darted out of the way, then performing his version of the 'Star Screamer' attack, which Cell just knocked out of the way. Cell yawned, tauntingly, "I though this would be fun… but now you are just boring me…" Serrath smiled "Then ill give you something to be excited about" He powered up a little bit, then looked at Cell and said "After this you will wish you where never created!" Cell smirked at this remark, before he realised what Serrath was doing... "Shining Star!" Serrath performed this quicker then he did in the past, Cell put his hands together "Tri Beam-HA!" Cell fired Tein's signature attack, which collided and negated Serrath attack. Cell laughed at Serrath "Is that all you got?" Serrath grumbled, then smiled "Well… you are better then I had first anticipated… I will be back Cell!" Cell smirked "Oh no, you are not getting away!" Serrath smiled "Oh, I think I will…" Cell then sensed Vegeta and Trunks heading this way "Huh, back-up?" Serrath smiled "I shall leave you to them… Chao!" He then darted off, Cell begun to chase him, but he soon detected 18#'s presence… he remembered his goal of perfection and decided not to chase his opponent.

Cell was successful in absorbing 18#, thanks in part to Vegeta, with his perfect form achieved, he wasted no time in defeating Vegeta and Trunks. Instead of killing them though, he decided to hold a tournament so that the Earths strongest warriors could face him before their untimely demise… however, this did not stop one warrior from taking a shot at him.

Cell was flying round, looking for a suitable place for he tournament to be, there where a few locations he picked out first, one of which was a small island east from the mainland, however, he detected a power level down there quite a high one too. "Oh joy, some sort of challenge…" Cell dropped down to the island and followed the trail to the power source until he saw a man in similar amour to that of Vegeta, yet its colour was different. The warrior turned to face Cell and said "You are not welcome here Cell, leave this place at once…" Cell laughed "Who are you to give me orders?" The man turned round "I am Kain, I will be taking part in this tournament of yours…" Cell smiled "Interesting… however, I am not sure you qualify. I have seen the other fighters fight, yet I have never heard of you…" Kain smirked, "Well… then maybe we should have a little one on one… you can see weather I 'qualify' or not…" Cell smirked "As you wish…" They stood there staring at eachother for a while "I shall let you make the first move" Cell told Kain. Kain spread his arms and legs apart, the firing his 'Lapis Laser" , which Cell dodged, only to get a stiff kick to the face, followed by a barrage of punches then a roundhouse kick. Cell stumbled back "Impressive, that caught me of guard… but you wont do so again!" Kain made energy shurikens and threw them at Cell, who countered with a Destructo Disk, which smashed through each shuriken, Kain dodged it and was almost caught by a punch from Cell. They again stood facing eachother. Kain smirked, much to Cell's irritation, Cell charged at Kain, only to get caught with a knee to the gut, then an elbow to the back of the neck, sending him to the ground. Kain fired his 'Star Screamer' at Cell. One the smoke had cleared, Cell was standing there, the blast had ontl caused a small scratch on his chest. Kain seemed shocked, how could he take that attack and come out with just a mark? Cell fired a 'Spirit Ball' at Kain, who for 5 minutes made an attempt to get away. Before deciding he had had enough and created an energy barrier, Kain laughed at Cell and shouted "Lets see how you handle this!" He then expanded his barrier whilst drawing in Cell, he performed his 'Giga Gravitation Field' Cell again, stood there, barely phased, granted, Kain had learned how to control the outburst so it didn't not hurt himself, it did not do what he had planned. Cell hovered above him and said "Congratulations… I deem you worthy to take part in this tournament… however, this shall not be the place for it!" Cell shot into the air, then firing a 'Galick Gun' at the island, blowing it up. He knew Kain was not in the blast radius when the island exploded and smiled knowing he would have a good challenge from some of Earth's finest warriors.

Kain flew to Kami's lookout, where Goku, Gohan and Serrath stood. Kain shook his head "I did my best, but I was not good enough… you where not at your full power" Serrath put his hand on Kain's shoulder "It was a fine effort my friend" Kain smiled "Who is in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber now?" Kain looked at Goku, "Vegeta and Trunks are in there again, you can go in with Serrath after they are done" Kain nodded "I would like that" A few hours later, Vegeta and Trunks came out, Kain looked at Vegeta and said "Hmm… so you finally became a Super Sayain… well done…" Vegeta grunted as Kain and Serrath walked past for their years worth of training. A day had passed, Kain and Serrath walked out, Goku, Vegeta, Trunks, Gohan and Piccolo stood there waiting. They where all shocked… Kain's power level had not changed at all, while Serrath's had almost doubled, making him now stronger then Kain! Kain sighed and said "There is something wrong, nether the less, I shall play my part accordingly" They all took off, the Cell games where about to begin!
