It's not your fault- Angel of Misery
Hello again! Sorry if this took a while, my stupid school banned this site, and unfortunately, I used to do a lot of my fanfic work at school because they had faster modems. But now I have to do it at home, so you'll all have to wait a while longer for updates! But I can't wait till I get to the chapter where there's the 10 days till the Cell Games thing. Can you imagine Sariell and Cell alone for 10 days? Hilarious! But I don't want to give anything away and ruin the fun. Before I go on to the next chapter, I'd like to say a few thanks. Firstly to aquasage for her many reviews! You're such a good friend. And I'd also like thank everyone else for their reviews. I'd write all your names down but, alas, I'm just bursting to write this fanfiction! So, without further adieu, the next chapter!
I do not own Dragon Ball Z. I only own Sariell. I wish someone else owned my sister...

Chapter 9: Perfection at Last.
Sariell felt awfully uneasy. She didn't want to hurt Krillin, knowing it was wrong, but then, she didn't want to hurt Cell either.
"Cell, I don't think I can fight Krillin." She said at last.
"Oh, and why not? It'd better be a good reason, because otherwise..." Cell trailed off and Sariell frowned. She still wasn't sure if she believed Cell would really dispose of her, but who knew?
Fortunately, Sariell was spared making the hard decision because Cell suddenly noticed Krillin was holding onto something, "Hang on, what's that?"
"Hmn?" Sariell looked back at Krillin to see a black device with a big red button. "I assume it's a remote control of some kind."
"Remote control." Cell mused, "But for what?"
"Uh oh." Sariell worked it out a lot faster than Cell, which was unusual because he boasted a higher IQ than her.
"Uh oh?" Cell repeated, looking at her.
"I could be wrong, I usually am, except for that one time, but...what if that's a remote for android #18? Vegeta's wife, Bulma, makes electronics and so on. Could she have made a remote to shut the android down?" Sariell wondered.
Cell looked at her suspiciously, "Did you know anything about this before we got here?"
Sariell fumed, "Of course not! If you've forgotten already, I don't associate with them anymore! How would I know if they had some plan to shut the androids off?"
"You could have overhead them when you were using the Hyperbolic Time Chamber." Cell suggested.
"Cell, if I knew, I swear by pain of death, I would have told you. Alright?" Sariell sighed.
Cell wasn't sure wether to believe her or not, but it was of great importance to get that remote away from the human. "Alright fine, there's time for arguing later. Just get it off Krillin!"
"That, I can do." Sariell nodded and advanced on Krillin. He looked scared, but also determined.
Sariell hesitated just a moment longer at the fact that Krillin feared her, but continued never the less.
Krillin decided to try and talk his way out of the situation, "Sariell, you don't have to do this! Think about it! I know you like Cell, everyone does by now, but if he reaches his perfect form, he won't need you anymore! He's only keeping you around so you can do his bidding, and that you don't use the incredible power you keep hidden on him!"
Sariell paused for a second, a thoughtful expression crossing her face.
Cell crossed his arms impatiently; how tiresome...that stupid little fool's going to turn her against me. That's all I need when perfection is so close...
Sariell turned and looked at Cell for a moment; that couldn't be true...could it? Cell's not just keeping me around to do his bidding...he's starting to trust me, isn't he?
"Are you going to just stand there, or get that remote? I'll do it myself if I have to!" Cell snapped.
"Mmmn..." Sariell murmured.
Cell sighed, "Look. If you're wondering about what that idiot of a human said is true, don't concern yourself with it. It's not true."
Sariell was surprised, "It's not?"
"No. I'd explain myself further, but this is hardly the time. He could use that remote on the android at any second, and I'm sure Goku and the others have discovered where I am, and are coming to stop me as we speak...a useless effort anyway." Cell stated.
"Oh...well, alright then." Sariell smiled, happy that Cell wasn't just using her and happy because she would find out later what his true intentions were. But she was also developing a headache. She wanted to do the right thing, but it was confusing to what that was.
"Krillin, just hand the remote over, please."
"Oh…well, alright then." Sariell felt herself getting a headache. All this right and wrong business was confusing. "Krillin, just hand the remote over."
Krillin frowned; he wasn't going to use it anyway. Not that he would tell anyone, but he was developing his own feelings for android #18. So, how could he really criticise Sariell when she felt the exact same thing for Cell? That was being hypocritical, and Krillin didn't want to be hypocritical.
Before Krillin could blink though, Sariell was next to him, took the remote and was back at Cell's side again.
Without a word, Cell took the remote off her and destroyed it.
Sariell looked up at Cell to see him looking at Krillin in an amused way, but there also something deadly in that look. She hurriedly said, "You're not going to kill him, are you?"
Cell frowned, "What is it with you and killing people?"
Sariell sighed, "It's my morality. It keeps me human." She added, "Anyway! What's the point of wasting energy on Krillin?"
Cell shook his head, "I was made to appreciate the strong and wipe out the weak."
Sariell argued angrily, "No, that was Dr. Gero's intentions. You are your own person!"
"Alright enough! The android is the main priority here, and if you stop going on about how I can change, I'll leave Krillin alone!" Cell roared and Sariell fell silent.
Satisfied that he had finally shut Sariell up, Cell began to advance on android #18. That's when Vegeta and Trunks landed.
"Father, I just can't believe you would do this! You and your arrogance!" Trunks yelled.
"You don't understand, boy...Saiyans love a challenge, therefore when Cell's in his perfect form, he might be more of one." Vegeta replied coldly.
"Well, I'm going to stop him!" Trunks pulled out his sword and charged at Cell.
Sariell cried out in alarm and tugged Cell's arm, "Cell, Trunks is..."
Cell shoved her off, making her stumble slightly, "Yes, I can see that." Without another word, Cell jumped up, silhouetted in the sun and cried out, "SOLAR FLARE!"
Everything went blindingly bright. Sariell saw red dots in front of her eyes and feeling dizzy, fell over.
Trunks, who was going to attack, lost sight of Cell and ended up nearly hitting Sariell with his sword.
When the light died down, Trunks was apologizing profusely as Sariell protested loudly that he nearly cut her hair.
Sariell remembered Cell and worriedly looked around. But both he and #18 were gone.
"Where'd he go?" She asked Trunks who shrugged, "It's your fault we lost him."
"Just shift the blame to me again..." Sariell muttered, tired of people being mean to her because she was giving someone a chance. Then she noticed Trunks was looking behind her.
She turned around slowly to see Cell and jumped back in surprise. He looked very different.
Cell's assumption on his new look had been correct; he did look more humanoid but also had what looked like speckled green armour. Two black wings stuck out from his back and his tail had also seemed to have shrunken back behind his wings.
Sariell wasn't aware that she was staring at Cell with her jaw dropped.
Cell smirked, "I see you approve then..."
Sariell snapped out of it and looked at the ground to hide her flaming face.
"Perfection at last..." Cell mused.
Sariell frowned, "You know, I can sense an overwhelming level of strength but...in all honesty, you sure don't look as strong as you are."
"That's the point, the element of surprise." Cell responded.
"It's strange...so much power, yet I'm not afraid." Sariell murmured, almost to herself.
Cell watched her curiously but decided not to take it further; so his perfect form didn't scare her. She was certainly impressed with it though.
"So, what now?" Sariell asked slowly.
"You shall have to move aside. Trunks foolishly wants to fight me." Cell said instantly.
Sariell took a step back and was startled as Trunks charged past her for Cell.
"Fine then...you'll be the first to fall at my new strength." Cell hissed, preparing himself.

Sorry if this took a long time. My internet's not working that well. Did you all like it? Cell in his final form! My favourite form, only cause he's so handsome. Ah heh...um, yes. But if you are expecting my next chapter up soon, like I said, sorry. It'll take a bit longer than expected. But, on the plus side, I have worked out an ending. But seriously, people have to start telling me if they want a sequel or not, because it'll effect my ending. Also, there may be a bit of Sariell and Trunks relationship in the future, but this means nothing. Cell is Sariell's main target, but come on, the girl has no parents, and she needs friends as well. She just warms to Trunks is all. Well, it's late, so I'll see you next chapter! Review heaps!
Chapter 10: Announcing the Cell Games.
