It's not your fault- Angel of Misery

Hey! First off, I wanna thank those reviewers for finding the name of the technique for me. Thanks, pals! I'll be using it in a later chapter. Anyway, I'm trying to get motivated about this fanfiction; it's starting to work! I was having a sort of off...eh, month. But I'm a bit better now. Next chapter, up and going now!

I do not own Dragon Ball Z. I own Sariell and Cell's slightly OC...does that mean I own him? Probably not...

Chapter 18: Saved By The Cell

The minutes ticked past and the arguments had gotten nowhere. Vegeta refused to let Cell interrupt the fight and continued to yell at Trunks to finish Sariell off. Cell told Vegeta if Trunks did that, Trunks would be an orphan because Cell would kill Vegeta. And poor, innocent Goku, didn't know what to do.

Sariell groaned and sank to one knee on the ground. Cell swore, "Look, we don't have much time..." "Exactly! So Trunks, finish her off!" Vegeta snapped. Trunks hesitated; he didn't really want to hurt Sariell, even though she had hurt his feelings by going with Cell.

Cell called to Trunks, "You even touch a hair on her head while she's in trouble and I swear, I'll have your head mounted on my wall!" Trunks looked at Vegeta who made a slicing motion with his finger (A/N: Poor Trunks...)

So, Trunks began advancing on Sariell. She looked up, sweat dripping from her face and veins popping out, "T...Trunks, don't...listen to Vegeta!" "I'll have hell to pay if I don't." Trunks brought his hand back.

"Goku!" Cell roared, exasperated. Goku had a blank stare on his face, as if he wasn't even aware of what was going on. That's just brilliant. Cell took off, but Vegeta called, "I wouldn't do that!" Cell paused but shook his head, "And Vegeta...since when do I listen to the likes of you?"

Vegeta tsked, but surprisingly, did nothing. (A/N: Maybe he has a heart after all...) Cell grabbed Trunks's arm before it could make contact with Sariell, "Uh uh. Bad boy." With a single kick, Cell sent Trunks flying outside the ring.

"You know, I don't...think that's in...the law book." Sariell groaned. "It's my tournament. I make the rules, not them." Cell snorted, "Besides, I'm not allowed to enter the ring. Have I touched the ground yet? No. So basically, I haven't broken any rules."

"So cunning." Sariell laughed but winced, "Not to ruin your big moment and everything, but...I'm kinda in pain." "Ah yes. You." Cell eyed the Spirit Bomb, "Tell me this, what were you thinking?" "The power went to my head...I'm sorry..." Sariell sighed.

Cell rose slowly till he was level with the ball of energy, "I don't know, sometimes you're so ridicules it's almost cute..." He drew back his hand and hit the Spirit Bomb as hard as it could. Sariell yelled in pain as the energy was wrenched from her hands and thrown up into the sky, destroying a planet that was inhabited by cat-dogs.

But as soon as the energy left Sariell's hands, she collapsed to the ground, unconscious. "You stupid idiot..." Cell said affectionately and careful not to touch the ground, picked her up and slung her over his shoulder. He left the ring and placed her upright against a rock.

Once Sariell was safe, he turned to Goku and the others, "Can we get back to what you all came here for...to fight me?" Goku, snapped out of his trance, nodding almost guiltily, "Yeah."

"Whose to fight me first? Oh, and I won't fight him." Cell gestured to Trunks, who now had a bruise where Cell kicked him (A/N: On his beautiful face, heh). "You'll be fighting me." Goku stepped into the ring.

"I was hoping to save the best till last, but as you wish. You cause both Sariell and me a lot of pain...this gives me a chance to give it back..." Cell entered the ring as well.

Goku shook his head slowly, "I never intended to hurt Sariell, but she through her lot in with the wrong people..." "She believed in me!" Cell roared, cutting Goku off, "and I won't hear another bad word against her. Shut up and fight, Saiyan!"

Goku took a battle stance, facing Cell, "Oh, I'll fight alright." Cell did the same, "Get ready..."

Cell brought his hands back, "Because it's your turn to die!"

That's it. Man, I went through so many different ways to write this...I wanted it to be dramatic and sweet and so on...maybe not. But I hope you like it. This is the only version that kind of fitted...and I have a favour to ask; does anyone know where I can find a site with DBZ episode guides? I need to read the episode where Cell fights Goku...I only know bits and pieces about it and I want to make it good. I don't do fight scenes well...anyway! Read and Review!
