Yo, so I'm glad a lot of you guys like that I brought back Cell. I figured I hadn't seen anyone do that in any story I've read so far and I personally think he'd have been a better choice than Frieza but what can you do? Anyways the amount of people that want me to use the TFS version of Cell was pretty incredible actually, so I'll be having him behave both like the TFS version while fighting and serious when the time calls for it. That way everyone is happy. I'm sure some of you will catch some memorable lines in this chapter. With that said let's get on with the chapter.
"Those three" Hit says indicating towards Toppo, Dyspo, and Jiren "are the only ones to watch out for on that team." Naruto agreed, he had managed to beat the entirety of the pride troopers minus those three by himself, and that wasn't even in his Rose form. He took his eyes off of them and scanned the rest of the arena. Apart from them Universes 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, and 11 were present. Only universe seven had yet to arrive.
"Well?" Naruto asks looking at their newest fighter. "What do you think?" Cell looked at him before looking out at the rest of the fighters who were all seemingly doing the same thing as him.
"Apart from those three over there" He says referring to universe eleven. "There's no one here who really stands out." He finished loud enough for everyone to hear him. He smirked as he saw the fighters and their respective gods glare at him.
Naruto was going to reply but was cut off as he felt the arrival of the final universe. Looks like everyone was finally here.
"Wow, everyone's already here!" They heard Goku say loudly. Cabba went up to them and exchanged words with Vegeta while Caulifla and Kale went to seemingly pick a fight.
"Hmm, I'll be right back. I'm going to go get reacquainted with them." Cell says as he walks in their direction. Naruto and Hit stayed where they were, content with watching how this played out. Universe seven was trying to talk strategy when they heard the sound of heavy footsteps heading their way.
They turned and their eyes widened at who was in front of them. "Cell" Gohan says quietly, trying to figure out how he was here.
"Well, look at all the familiar faces we have here. 17 and 18 nice to see you again." He said mockingly. They glared at him but didn't bother replying. "And look at that." He says, his attention turning to Gohan.
"The little brat has grown up. Thought you feel a lot weaker than when we last fought all those years ago. You haven't been training have you? A shame, you'll be a big part of the reason your universe gets destroyed." He says pissing Gohan off.
"What the hell are you doing here?" A gruff voice comes from behind Gohan. The universe seven team splits apart allowing Vegeta to walk up. "Weren't you stuck in hell?"
"I was but my new friends" He says motioning behind him to Naruto and Hit, who were just staring back at them. "Invited me to this tournament." Vegeta was about to retort but was beaten to it.
"Anyways, while I'm here I plan on paying you lot back for last time." Walking away he turned back and stared directly at Gohan. "That means you kid, I'm coming for you." He walked back to the universe six team and kept his back to them.
"Damn, it was going to be hard enough to deal with Hit and this Naruto guy, but now we have Cell to worry about too." He says clenching his fists. Of all the people that could've come back it had to be the android.
"But hold on." Said Krillin "You were able to beat him back when you were twelve. I'm sure you'll be able to do it again." He tells him enthusiastically, though on the inside he was worried.
"Hohohoho" Laughed Frieza "I don't think so. Didn't you guys feel it?" He asked. Gohan looked at him with a confused expression.
"He's stronger now." Said Vegeta "He had well over a dozen times more power than he did when Kakarots kid beat him. He's a completely new monster now, and he's teamed up with two others." He glared at the three.
"So I take it your opinion has changed?" Naruto asked Cell who had a pleased look on his face.
"Yeah, more than half of the people on that team are strong. This'll make it more interesting." He says.
"We should weed out the weak first and conserve our strength." Hit said to the whole team. "Once the weak ones are out then we can strike. Avoid fighting with anyone you know is stronger than you. Use coordinated attacks when necessary. The only ones to watch out for as of now are Son Goku, Vegeta, Frieza, and the three from universe eleven." He finishes. Everyone nodded ready to start.
"Look." Naruto says as the watch Goku walk up to Jiren. Only for the man to appear behind him at incredible speeds. Suddenly pieces of tile began coming towards the arena at fast speeds. All the fighters began to jump out of the way. However, Jiren didn't move from his spot and let the blocks moved around him.
"He read the blocks movements." Naruto thought to himself as he kept his eyes on him. He was sure Hit and Cell noticed it too. This guy was definitely the man to beat. He couldn't think anymore on it as the Grand Priest spoke.
"And now, warriors of each universe, prepare yourselves." He said. The atmosphere around everyone changed rapidly. Only a handful of people were calm as everyone else tensed. "Let the Tournament of Power Begin!" He announced.
"Let go." Hit commanded as everyone split up. All eighty warriors began running to the center of the arena ready to battle it out. The sounds of yelling and Ki blasts being launched filled the stage.
"Woah! Woah!" Cried Zeno as he watched the action go down.
Naruto blasted forward and found himself in a fight with Comfrey from universe nine. Naruto began throwing punches at the amphibious man who managed to block the first three punches before one broke through. He hit him with a barrage of hard jabs and right hooks before kneeing him in the gut and hammer fisting him into the ground.
"Universe ten's Liliebeu has dropped out." Announced the Grand Priest. Everyone stopped to see her up in the bleachers. Now everyone knew if you got thrown off the arena you'd appear at the bench with your respecive Kai and God. Naruto picked up Comfrey and placed his hand on the creatures abdomen. He shot a strong Ki blast into him and shot him away.
The man shot through one of the boulders that had been created durning the explosions before being tossed out of the arena.
"Universe nine's Comfrey has dropped out." The Grand Priest announced.
"Woooooo! You're the best Naruto! Keep attacking!" Champa yelled from his seat. He didn't care about the other Gods giving him an annoyed look for yelling. His fighters were going good, that's all that mattered.
Naruto heard hit and sweat dropped as he heard the feline cheer him on. Looking over he saw Hit break one of the arms of a robot and once more heard Champa yelling praise at them. Looking elsewhere he saw Son Goku stare off with Jiren before being captured in a lock by a fighter from universe four.
Dashing over to where Hit was he kicked a robot out of the way and landed behind the assassin. "Your friend Son Goku isn't too bright is he? He almost got himself eliminated just now." He commented. He shot a few ki blasts at some random fighters when he felt Goku activate super saiyan blue.
Another one got eliminated. "No he's not." Hit repiled "But when it comes to fighting someone strong it's a different story." Naruto nodded and blocked a punch from a random warrior. "Getting tired of all these fodder." He thought to himself as he kicked the guy off the arena.
"Choose, either jump off the fighting stage now, or get knocked off by me." He heard Hit tell one of the robots. Looks like even Hit was bored if he was playing with his opponents. He even watched as Hit flicked him in the head and eliminated him.
"They're doing pretty good wouldn't you say Champa-sama?" Vados asked as she watched her universe.
"Yeah, things are looking good for us Vados. Oh, there's the new guy. Let's see if Naruto was right in getting him." The God says as he watches Cell approach a fighter.
Prum of Universe two was standing across from the android with a smirk on his face. No matter what kind of blasts he shot at him, it wouldn't affect him.
"So you're my first victim?" Cell says amusingly. "Very well, lets play a quick game. I want you to hit me as hard as you can." He tells him. Plum looked at him with his eyes narrowed.
"What areā¦" He didn't get to finish as Cell cut him off.
"Now hold on, you might have misheard me. Not half as hard not some arbitrary percentage. I want you" He said putting emphasis on the word you. "To hit me." Again emphasizing 'hit me' "As hard, as you, can."
"What kind of game is he playing?" Asked Pell, the supreme Kai of Universe two.
"I don't know, but Prum won't go down that easily. His special ability makes him an invaluable asset to us." Helles says reassuringly.
Feeling insulted Prum dashes forward and delivers a punch that saw strong enough to send him flying. Or at least it would have, had it been done on someone weak. Cell just moved his head back into a straight position and grabbed prums arm.
"Well I guess I should be disappointed in only myself for expecting more from a tub of lard." He says before kicking Prum in the gut and sending him off of the fighting stage. He appeared on his bench next to his God and Kai and muttered an apology.
"WOOOO go Cell! Hey Helle's wasn't that attack beautiful?" He asked mockingly.
Said God just grits her teeth but doesn't respond to the chubby god. The rest of the Gods watched in annoyance as universe six began knocking people off the stage.
Ea the Kai of universe three pushed up his glasses and commented "The fighters from universe six are eliminating people left and right." To his left the robotic god beeps a couple of times before quieting down
"Mosco-sama says we have nothing to fear." Their angel Campari translated.
"Tsk. Those three fighters Champa has, though beautiful in their own right, are going to be a big problem for us." Helles admits.
"Don't worry Helles-sama." Her Kai responds "Ribrianne and the others will win using the power of love." He says confidently. She nods with newfound hope. Little did she know how wrong she'd be.
"Even after being killed by Kakarot's twelve year old son he's still full of himself." Vegeta said as he transformed into a super sayian and blasted a guy out of the arena. Meanwhile Naruto landed atop a recently formed large rock and surveyed the area.
Looking out he saw Toppo and Dyspo engaged in a fight with some nobodies but there was no Jiren in sight.
"I agreed that we had to weed out the weak but I'm getting desperate for a good fight." He thought to himself. So far there was still no real action going on. There were only so many people here who would be able to put up a decent fight against him. Seeing as there was nothing better to do he began to focus.
Closed his eyes, he could sense no one was getting near him. He smirked, "Good, I can cover the whole arena. Game over" He thought. "Why don't we speed this up a little bit." He whispered to himself.
Immediately fighters began dropping out of the stage in rapid succession. Everyone began looking around to see who was behind this sorcery, but no luck. Over twenty people from various universes were eliminated in the span of three minutes. The only universes so far that had yet to lose a member because of him were Universe seven and eleven. Seven had already lost Krillin due to Frost.
"Oi! Stay alert." Yelled Beerus to his team "Don't stand close to the edge head towards the center so you don't get eliminated." He yelled trying to figure out what was happening.
"Cabba, Kale, Caulifla, get to the center or you'll be knocked off. If you get thrown out I'll beat you myself!" Champa yelled to his own team. He and Beerus made eye contact and huffed away.
Champa looked back down to see Botamo getting lifted off the ground by repeated punches from Gohan. "Don't just take it! Fight back!" He yelled. The yellow man was too big and couldn't shoot at the saiyan and was ultimately blasted off the arena.
"Universe Six's Botamo has dropped out" Announced the Grand Priest.
"You useless clod getting defeated so easily!" Champa yelled at the man who hung his head in shame. Universe six had their first man eliminated.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" All the Gods heard Quitela, the god of destruction from universe four laughing. The immediate thought is he's behind these attacks. Naruto too heard the rat laughing and thought to himself. "So universe four has something similar to this to knock opponents off it seems. I'll have to be careful for that." He thinks.
"Whis, I know Quitela has something to do with this. But what's he doing?" He asks as he rubs his chin. God how he hates that rat.
"Perhaps he is behind this. However, Goku-san and the rest are resourceful, they'll manage to figure it out." He says reassuringly.
"Woah!" Zeno cries out, his eyes wide with excitement. "Everyone's falling, what's going on?" He asks the Grand Priest.
"Hmm. I have an Idea but I can't be too sure." He responds as he watches the matches go on. Quitela seems to know something, but the saiyan from universe six hasn't moved from his spot and looks calm. He thinks to himself.
Champa watches more people being blasted off and begins panicking. "Oi Hit get away from the edge." He yelled as he saw the assassin fighting. Finishing the fight he jumps away. pulsing his power he senses Naruto on top of a rock and lands behind him.
"You don't seem too worried." Comments the assassin. Naruto looks back at him briefly. "Not at all actually. Just weeding out the weak." at those words Hit remembered just before they arrived Vados being levitated and them two talking about some technique. He allowed a faint smile to grace his face.
"I see." He responds as he allows himself to relax. "It looks like our newest member is enjoying himself as well." He comments. The two of them look down to see Cell fighting off four fighters all from different universes. Hell they even heard him humming a tune as he dodged and attacked back.
A blast of power caught everyones attention as Goku and Vegeta had powered up to Super Saiyan Blue and shot powerful blasts against the Trio De Dangers from universe nine. Their attack didn't stand a chance as the three wolf like men were defeated and tossed out of the arena.
"So the chimps have gotten stronger." Cell commented as he kicked the last one away from him. "I can't wait to get my shot at them."
"Ten warriors have fallen." Said Sidra with fear in his voice. "What will happen to universe nine?" He looked up at the Grand Priest.
"All of the universe nine warriors have dropped out. They've been wiped out." Began the Grand Priest. "Therefore, universe nine will be erased!" He announced loudly. Zeno raised his hand and everyone from the universe nine team began to glow. In seconds they were gone from the area, only Mojito remained behind. He let a smile come on.
Naruto was in shock just like the rest of the fighters, he knew Zeno was all powerful but he just erased an entire universe like nothing. That was frightening.
"They really erased a whole universe" Said Beerus. "Whis, what about universe nine?" He asked. Unfortunately there was nothing there. It was gone. The reality of the situation really hit home to everyone.
Everyone had stopped the fighting to witness the destruction, but went right back to it when Vegeta attacked a fighter from universe two.
"Most of the weak ones have been eliminated." Naruto commented. "Anyone who is still in has at least some power to them. We still have nine of our fighter in." He told Hit.
"Right. I'm going back." He said as he jumped down and walked towards the action. The sound of the boulder he was on breaking caught his attention. It seemed Cabba had picked a fight with Toppo. It wasn't going well for him.
"I'll give the kid credit he's got fighting spirit." He said to himself as he watched Toppo deliver another blow.
Toppo did a pose and went to attack once more and to his surprise Cabba managed to actually dodge and counter, though it didn't connect. "Hmm, for someone so young you have potential young fighter." Toppo told him. "But for the good of my Universe I must defeat you."
"Thank you Toppo-san but I cannot let myself be beaten here." He said as he flared his power and attacked once more. He threw a barrage of punches that were all dodged and felt the wind knocked out of him as Toppo's large hand hit him in the gut.
"Justice Flash!" He yelled and let off his blast. When the smoke cleared out he saw that Cabba was no longer there, in his place were two people.
"The assassin from universe six and Black" He said. Naruto was holding Cabba by his armor and had him slumped over his shoulder.
"Oi Caulifla." He called. Said girl looked and barely had time to react as Cabba's unconscious form was thrown at her. "Take him with you and wake him up." She didn't seem to like being ordered around by him but did so when she saw Hit nod.
"He's going to be a nuisance in the future. Let's get rid of him now." Naruto said. Hit said nothing but brought his hands out of his pockets and got ready. Toppo knew he was in trouble, Black alone was strong but with Hit he'd have to be even more careful.
"Let's go." Naruto called as he and Hit disappeared.
Next time: Naruto and Hit, the Ultimate Tag Team.
So I think I'm going to end it there, hope you guys don't mind. Also now that we're in the tournament of power let me know if there's any match ups you guys would like to see. I'm still going to keep the Goku and Hit vs Jiren fight in here as well as having Naruto face him one on one. Many of you guys also wanted a Cell vs Gohan match which will also be happening. Anyways this is your chance let me know what you want to see. If you have any suggestions or comments leave them in a review or PM me. Later.
