Chapter 28: Simia Iratus (Monkey Anger or Saiyan Anger)


What happened last time...

The royal Saiyans fist collided with Cell's palm, creating minor shock waves and fissures in the air around them. ''So I see the action has finally started, come on father,'' Trunks encouraged silently.

''Um.. is it just me or do you feel the depth of Cell's power? Its outrageously powerful, Vegeta can't take that on!''

''Krillin calm down. Vegeta hasn't pulled out all the stops yet. He just got started, give him a chance,'' responded Goku.

''Goku's right Krillin, just watch the match. If Vegeta's really in trouble, we'll intervene and stop Cell,'' Piccolo instructed. Krillin simply sighed in a disagreeing manner before turning his full attention back towards the fight.

Gohan, stay calm. Its the same as always, save the Earth from a threat. But why do I get the vibe that something drastic will occur. Don't be afraid, calm down Gohan, keep calm and watch the match, Gohan mused to himself, trying to calm his nerves.

However, the magnitude of Cell's power is terrifying in itself. Its inconceivable and sadistic at the same time. Something about the tournament was definitely giving Son Gohan chills running down his spine.

Vegeta's assault on Cell continued as he kept on striking Cell in the same spots, driven off of his primal instincts. The super android simply smirked as he blocked Vegeta's blow with little difficulty. The bioandroid back handed the prince in the face, pushing him away from his presence.

''Your attacks are uncoordinated in every way, that's no way to fight. Pathetic, this fight isn't amusing in the slightest, hopefully fighting Goku would be more satisfying than fighting you. Think of it, the low class being better than the royal, how pathetic.'' Cell smirked, hoping to have riled up Vegeta a bit.

The vein that was protruding of Vegeta's forehead was an indicator that had indeed worked.

''Don't compare me to that weakling over there, I'm the PRINCE OF ALL SAIYANS!'' An explosion of ki erupted around Vegeta's form as he fired off at Cell. The armor clad Saiyans ki infused fist made contact with the androids chest plate, shoving it inwards.

Vegeta then elbowed Cell in the face, making blood come out of his mouth and nose. ''I'M GOING TO BLOW YOU INTO OBLIVION!''

''GALICK GUN!''

The massive wave of ki charged towards Cell in all its fury. The android batted it away, taking the bait that Vegeta laid out for him.

WHAM!

Vegeta cocked his fist back and launched it with as much force as he could muster.

The force of the blow sent Cell flying to the tournament ground. Vegeta blitzed Cell with a series of powerful strikes that made the super experiment have a hard time parriying or dodging the blows.

''Ladies and gentlemen, it appears this flame haired warrior is putting Cell on the ropes. Could he be the one to put an end to Cell's reign of terror and carnage?'' Firecracker spectated to the populace that was watching.

SMASH!

Vegeta axe handed Cell to the ground. The android back flipped and redoubled, staying alert for the Saiyans relentless presence. He turned around, shocked to see Vegeta with his arms out preparing his signature killing move.

''Woah, Vegeta must be really worked up by Cell. I just hope he doesn't lose control and blows up the Earth on accident,'' Gohan commented.

''Agreed, father is losing it. I hope he knows what he's doing or else he could very well kill us all,'' Trunks said grimly.

''FINAL FLASH!''

The golden colored wave of destructive ki raged on towards the target in its trajectory, the menace known as Cell. The android jumped up just in time to avoid being charred or worse, vaporized. The blast however still caught Cell's left leg as he was elevating, charring it.

The android regenerated his leg however and looked to be as good as new.

''Hmph, toying with you is getting tedious as well as boring. I think your time of living has come to an end. Say good bye, Vegeta,'' Cell chuckled menacingly. Vegeta was shocked to say the least, how did Cell avoid the attack when he was on the ground recovering.

The only plausible explanation is that Cell toyed with him during the whole duration of the match. So he sapped most of his energy on a pointless attack, now how was he going to survive Cell's onslaught now that the android went on the offensive.

''Shit, just how powerful is this cockroach?'' Vegeta questioned to himself.

The blue android picked up on his voice and smirked. ''I'll show you a glimpse of true power and terror, this is what you're up against.'' The android released influxes of ki run out of his body, to scare the other combatants.

''Damnit, Cell is on a whole other level than all of us. Even after all the training we put ourselves through, he's still one step ahead.''

''No kidding Trunks, maybe me and Gohan should've took that other year in the tournament,'' Goku stated, worried and excited by Cell's power at the same time.

''Unreal, Cell's power shot through the roof. How are we gonna stop him now,'' Gohan mused to himself. ''Just what is making dad so confident that we can stop him?''

''Curse you, Cell!'' Piccolo shouted.

Vegeta gritted his teeth in anger, pure anger. No matter how hard he tries, it seems he's destined for failure. He failed to kill Kakarrot, failed to avenge his race from Frieza, failed to kill Cooler and Cold, any of the androids and now Cell. He even claimed he would never fail again...

''I'll NEVER FAIL AGAIN!''

And yet here he was, failing again.

''Ah Vegeta, I didn't strike your pride did I?''

This caused Vegeta to snarl and remember his first ascension to a Super Saiyan. The exact words he had quoted had something to do with his pride. The exact words he had said to Cooler when it was foreshadowed that death would once again claim the battled hardened warrior...

''THERE'S ONE THING YOU'LL NEVER TAKE AWAY FROM ME! MY PRIDE!''

''Come on Vegeta, where's your pride? Where's your willingness to continue fighting? What is Bulma and your spawns thinking right now, probably ashamed at how cowardly you're acting. This is pathetic, a prince full of spunk reduced to a being terrified of his enemies power,'' Cell mocked.

Vegeta had no answer and instead clenched his fists while thinking of how he failed his family as well. Chibi Trunks and Bra sat in the emergency room on the verge of dying. All because of the menace that was in front of him.

''Hmph, need a little encouragement. I'll be happy to oblige,'' Cell said sinisterly before shooting at speeds of Mach 25 or more. The Saiyan was caught off guard by Cell's abrupt charge and was head butted to the tournament stage.

''What is Vegeta doing? If he keeps this up, he's a goner!''

''I can't take it anymore! Father, I'm coming!'' The prince's son attempted to charge into the arena, only to be subdued by Goku. The full blooded Saiyan shook his head, and gestured to the match.

''No Trunks, this is Vegeta's fight and if we interfered he would be extremely angry as his pride would take a nosedive. I understand his pride enough to know that much,'' Goku said with a rare glimpse of intelligence.

Gohan just watched, watching as Vegeta was tossed around helplessly. ''No, Vegeta! Dad, we need to stop the match and send someone else in. I can't let Vegeta die no matter how much he wronged us in the past.''

Vegeta was picked up by the throat by Cell with numerous rips in his armor bodysuit and blood coming from his lip. ''This is the end of your life as you know it, Sayonara!''

The Saiyans eyes snapped open and he released a double big bang attack at point blank range. The immense orb of ki surprised Cell to say the least, as it ran straight through the bottom of his chest and downwards.

The Saiyan easily broke Cell's grip around his arm by vaporizing it. Vegeta smirked at his plan and how it came together. ''Now to finish you all together, GALICK FLASH!'' The purple mixed with golden wave of pure unrelenting energy obliterated everything in its path until it reached Cell's entire body, vaporizing it to nothing.

''It appears that after receiving a beating, this warrior caught the monster off guard and managed to remove Cell completely from sight with his light beams. Can this truly be the end of Cell?'' Firecracker commented to the crowd watching.

''That was a cunning plan Vegeta, you had us worried,'' Goku stated. Vegeta looked around with his senses alert, trying to detect Cell's presence. When he found none, he walked back to the group of fighters.

''Is it really over?'' Krillin wondered.

''It must be, I don't sense anything from him,'' responded Yamcha.

''Be on your guard, you can't let up for a second lest your life be stripped from you!'' Piccolo barked.

''No its over alright, there's no way Cell could've survived being annihilated like that, its impossible!''

''I feel insulted Yamcha, I am the definition of impossible. I am perfection!''

TZZZZEW!

ZZINNNG!

DOOOOOOSSSH!

Two bodies hit the ground and one was vaporized on the spot. ''NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!''

The terror and nightmare wasn't over. No it only just begun. As they say, dies irae.


What's happening now...

''I feel insulted Yamcha, I am the definition of impossible. I am perfection!''

TZZZZEW!

ZZINNNG!

DOOOOOOSH!

Two bodies hit the ground and one was annihilated on the spot.

The terror and nightmare wasn't over. No, it only just begun. As they say, dies irae.

The bodies that hit the ground were that of Vegeta, whom saved Trunks life and Goku, whom saved Yamcha's life by jumping in the way of the beams trajectory. Android 16 was utterly destroyed in a blast, leaving only his head to roll towards Gohan.

ZZZZIPPP!

Another person hit the ground. This time it was Gohan, who now has a gaping wound in his shoulder.

''Perfect, all that is left is you Trunks,'' Cell smirked full of evil, having received a small zenkai boost. ''Even though I wish Goku was still up as well, but he sacrificed himself for that weakling over there. That was his fate from the very beginning though, it just came early.''

Trunks, seething in quiet but uncontrollable fury, looked around. Goku had a hole in his chest and his life force was sweeping away. Vegeta's wound hit him square in both of his lungs, which meant his time of living was coming to a halt. Gohan's wound was nonlife threatening, which meant he was okay but in severe pain.

''Trunks...get o-over here,'' Vegeta croaked from where he lay.

''Save your strength father,'' Trunks said, tears singing his eyes.

''Trunks... avenge us... kill the bastard...responsible for this...its too late for me...I've failed... b-but... you're still alive...you have my blood...coursing through you... you can suceed where I... f-failed... you must...kill Cell...farewell... my s-son,''Vegeta finished his final words before closing his eyes.

The prince of all Saiyans had passed for the second time.

''Oh no... it appears four fighters are down and out, is this the end? Mister Satan, when are you going to stop Cell?'' Firecracker said, holding the mic to Hercules face. appeared frightened for a split second but quickly changed his composure.

''Oh the pain, the pain! My stomach is killing me, as soon as my stomach feels better I'll jump in there and defeat that chump!''

Gohan saw his father on the ground dead and something within him snapped. He tried to get up but couldn't due to the bleeding hole in his left shoulder. Potent blue electricity was emassed around Gohan and Trunks figure.

''Father... you died being a hero saving life. You... gave up everything... to save it. Now you're dead. All because of Cell...'' Gohan crawled over to his father with tears spilling from his eyes. ''This isn't fair! Cell is gonna pay, I'll make sure you're avenged.'' Gohan took his headband off and drenched it in his father's blood. It was something Vegeta had taught him while in space, to honor your fallen comrades. It was a Saiyan tradition.

The young Super Saiyan tied the now red headband around his forehead. His power shot through the roof as even more tears fell. ''I let you die... I can't watch this anymore. I WON'T WATCH THIS ANYMORE! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!''

x-X-x

''NO! GOKU!'' Krillin went straight into Super Kaioken x11 and charged Cell. Piccolo jumped off the clip to follow Krillin into battle.

''Tournament rules be damned, Yamcha we have to fuse if we want to stand a chance!''

''Agreed, I won't let Goku's sacrifice be in vain. He gave his life to save me and I won't let this opportunity slip.''

Krillin blitzed Cell with a flurry of strikes to the monster. ''Hmph, I see the games are over eh? Well I guess it was time for you all to die anyway.''

''We'll see Cell, KAMEHAMEHAAAA!'' The azure beam of killer intent energy raged on towards Cell. The android simply batted it away as it were a mere inconvenience. POWWWWW! Cell's fist rocketed towards Krillin before he could blink and knocked him to the ground.

''Hmph, whose next?'' The android asked challengingly.

''FUSION HAAAA!'' A bright light enveloped where Tien and Yamcha posed for the fusion.

''Tiencha is!'' The fusion gestured towards himself. ''Super Kaioken x10!''

''MAKOSEN!'' A golden beam with a purple trim on the ridges of the blast hit Cell in the back. ''And Piccolo.''

''Do you really think you two can stop perfection?''

Tiencha launched at the monster, but Cell dashed out of the way to get an opening. CLUNKKKK! The android kneed Tiencha in the gut and followed up with a haymaker, knocking him to the ground, forming a crater.

Piccolo launched a flurry of ki orbs while Cell batted them away effortlessly.

x-X-x

''Father, you gave your life to save me, all because of this monster! Everyone keeps dying on my conscious, first mom, then Gohan, then Goku and now my father as well! I've had it, Cell I'm gonna make you pay! This nightmare is over!''

Trunks stood up and let his tears leak as his power skyrocketed. ''NO MORE CELL, I'M GOING TO END YOU ONCE AND FOR ALL! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHH!'' Lightning danced across the sky in a raging inferno as the ground began to shake a crumble. His hair stuck out even more, bcoming more rigid and golden. His eyes turned from teal to completely blue, his sharp features were surrounded by a golden glow and he bulked up about two inches.

Winds blew at never before seen speeds and velocities. An explosion happened behind Trunks as he let his power flow out to the battlefield. Cell held both Piccolo's and Tiencha's throats in his hands, before looking towards Trunks.

''That's the spirit, release all your power. I want a worthy challenge out of you, boy!'' Cell then turned back to the two enemies of his that he was choking.

''Time to die, just like Goku and Vegeta,'' the ultimate android said in a mischievious tone. However, before he could kill his adversaries, a powerful boot implanted itself in Cell's back. Backflipping off, Trunks landed on the ground with both Piccolo and Tiencha in arms.

The half Saiyan then took the senzu bean bag from Krillin and tossed 4 of the 5 beans to Krillin, Piccolo, Tiencha and Gohan. Before the beans could even reach their intended targets, they were charred by Cell.

''You bastard, I'm going to kill you,'' Trunks said in a venomous, low tone.

''I'd like to see you-'' Cell was cut off by a powerful cutting off his breath. ''No more talk, I'm going to make you feel true pain.'' The prince's son roundhouse kicked Cell in the side of the cranium, catching him off guard.

''Incredible, his power is on par with mine.''

Trunks closed the gap between them in a milisecond before launching two consecutive strikes to the nuclei. ''No, I'm stronger than you.'' Trunks fist smashed into Cell's jaw, dismantling it and leaving blood dripping.

Trunks gained on Cell and the monster flung a multitude of punches, though they seemed to pass right through the Saiyan.

''Impossible, I am the ultimate being! Kienzan!'' The android flung Krillin's signature attack at the half Saiyan. The attacks passed right through an afterimage.

Cell growled. "Why can't I hit you?!"

Trunks remained silent as he continued to stare down the Android.

"Don't stand there and mock me. You think you're stronger then me? I have defeated every fighter I've faced. You are no different."

Trunks finally took a step forward, before he disappeared from sight as he reappeared right in front of Cell, before planting his fist into the creature's gut.

"That's where your wrong Cell! You see I'm the only one who has lived through my entire life being hunted. Watching everyone I know and care for die. I failed my own timeline, because I wasn't strong enough. But this world will be free of your darkness. I won't let my pride get to me like it did my father," he said, before he held out his palm and fired a blast through Cell's abdomen sending the Android hurtling backwards.

''I'm still going to see too it that you experience what true pain is.''

Cell landed with a growl as he wiped some blood from his mouth as the wound in his gut quickly healed. A smirk appeared on his lips. "Remember Trunks it's not always the strongest fighter that wins...it's the most cunning and strategic," he laughed as he held his hands out on either side of his face, before yelling. "Solar Flare!"

Trunks winced as he closed his eyes. A second passed, before he heard something whizzing towards his head. Relying on his sense of hearing he leaped to the side dodging Cell's tail in the process. ''You can't beat me like that, I can sense where you are.''

''Well if I can't hit you physically then take this! KAMEHAMEHAAAAA!" he roared as he thrust a massive azure wave of energy out towards Trunks.

The Half-Saiyan's eyes narrowed. ''This one is for you father...'' Trunks put both of his hands back in a stance similar to Vegeta's and fired off his signature attack.

"Galick Gun!" he yelled, thrusting his palms forward and firing the wave invented by his father.

There was a pause as the two beams collided, before meeting in a stalemate.

'Impossible...how is he still able to generate this much power? It doesn't matter I will still be victorious' The android mused to himself as he let out a roar which channeled more power into his attack.

Trunks smirked and put even more power into his attack, completely dominating Cell's attack, overriding it.

The blast tore Cell's arms and legs off. ''I-Impossible, how can... you defeat... perfection?'' Cell questioned through a mouthful of blood and saliva convulsing out of his mouth.

''Its simple, you're not perfect. Prepare to die.'' Trunks held his palm out, electricity forming all around it. Cell used the moment of questioning Trunks as a way to regenerate. The menace then charged Trunks blindly out of rage.

Cell sent a jab Trunks way and the Saiyan made no true effort to dodge. The blow made Trunks spit up some saliva, but nothing more. This made Cell smirk, believing he had gained an upperhand on the young adult.

''Hmph, not so tough are you Trunks.''

Wiping off the small bit of blood that was running from his lip, he kneed Cell in the gut. Then he gave Cell multiple uppercuts to the chest and finally and flip kick to his nucleus send ing the monster to the ground.

''That was a cheap shot that I let you have, nothing more.''

Cell stood up with more blood and green saliva coming down his mouth. ''Just what are you?'' Cell asked, worried for the first time in a long time. The Saiyan in turn hooked the android across the face and yanked his tail, flanking him towards the cluster of rocks that came from the fight.

''I'm a survivor and avenger, that's all.'' Cell backed away from Trunks in apparent fear for the first time.

''What's wrong Cell, this is what you wanted right? A true challenge.'' Trunks mocked seriously, blitzing Cell with multiple rage infueled strikes.

The blows were untrackable to even Cell, and he was knocked against the tournament floor's ruins. Trunks mercilessly punched Cell right through his stomach before blasting a big hole in Cell's stomach again.

Cell regenerated but instantly regurgitated. Android 18 came from Cell's abdomen and his form reverted from his blue 'Super Cell' form to his perfect form which had green skin.

''What... did... you...do...to...me?!'' Cell yelled as he charged Trunks only to be shot back to the ground in a pool of his own saliva.

''It seems you reverted to your previous form which means this nightmare is over,'' Trunks calmly stated.

''No, this nightmare ends when I say so. If I can't beat you then I'll kill myself and everyone on this pathetic planet,'' Cell said smirking, while pumping ki all into his body, making his body expand to a colossal width.

''What are you planning Cell? Whatever it is, I'll stop you.''

''I wouldn't do that if I were you. Any severe damage I take and I'll explode, taking this planet with me, its over. This planet is screwed, you should've killed me when you had the chance. HehehehehehehaahahaHAHAHAHAHAAHA! I guess you can call this a draw.''

Trunks punched the ground in anger and let a few tears run down his face.

''Wait Trunks, its not over. Don't forget, I can warp like dad can do instant transmission,'' Gohan said zipping towards Cell while clutching his left arm. Trunks took note of Gohan's appearance. The half Saiyan had jagged, rough hair that stook straight up into the air defying gravity with only one dangle of hair coming from his hair hanging over his headband. His aura had potent electricity in it, and his aura was twice as fearsome as before. Plus he looks like he bulked out a bit. Yep, he definitely ascended just like him.

''I'll be right back Trunks, I'm taking him to any planet I can since we don't have that much time left. If I don't make it back in time, well farewell.'' With that, Goku's son vanished with Cell in tow.

x-X-x

Gohan warped to the nearest planet, which was Mars and instantly warped back before being caught by the following explosion that occured a second after he vanished.

x-X-x

Goku's son rolled on the ground and panted for breath. He had never been in space for such a duration of time without a space ship.

''Is Cell really finished for good this time?'' Krillin asked, having woken up and taken 18.

''I honestly don't know, I can't sense his power but he could be masking it,'' Gohan explained.

''Well stay alert and keep your senses sharp. He could be anywhere right now,'' Piccolo barked.

''Right,'' Yamcha and Tien said simultaneously.

''Here Gohan, catch,'' Trunks said while tossing him a Senzu bean. Gohan caught it and droppped it in his mouth. He instantly felt his left arm rejuvenate and himself get a bit stronger than before.

''Thanks Trunks,'' Gohan said.

Firecracker put a mic to Trunks mouth and asked the question everyone has been pondering. ''Um.. is it over? Is Cell really gone for good?''

''That's what we're trying to find out, we can't-'' Trunks never finished as a drill beam pierced through Firecracker then through his own chest.

''Does this answer your question? That's right people, Cell is still alive!'' Cell smirked sinisterly into the camera which frightened many people in the world from the horrid display they just witnessed.

''CURSE YOU CELLL!'' Piccolo shouted. Gohan sunk to his knees, mesmerized at the sight he just witnessed. The only person in the universe alive left with Saiyan blood was now him.

''Cell, I'm gonna rip you apart! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!'' Wind and dust kicked up around Gohan's aura as lightning cackled all around his body.

The Z-fighters then turned to look at Cell. The android appeared to be back in the form in which he absorbed Raditz but much more powerful. The android now had red bolts of electricity cackling around him just like Gohan did.

''So it seems you've awakened the same form Trunks did boy. But look what good it did him,'' Cell said, gesturing to Trunks corpse.

''Big deal, you got a cheap shot but I'm more powerful than him. I'm going to end you for good this time,'' Gohan said while smirking in anger.

''Wait, how do you always bounce back from death all the time?'' Yamcha questioned.

''The same way I always come back, if my nucleus is left intact I can regenerate from anything. It seems my nucleus stored the genetic information that I had when I was at my most powerful, so I am reborn but stronger than ever before. I have evolved, transcended into something beyond perfection. I have become a god.''

''Can it, if you're as perfect as you say than come at me! I'll defeat you for everyone you've killed,'' Gohan claimed, crouching in a battle stance.

''What ever you say boy, however this time I'll prevail as the victor like I always do.'' The two combatants raised there ki to the maximum of their ability.

"This whole place is going to blow!" shouted Mr. Satan. He was actually quite correct, as just then, waves of force started emanating from Gohan and Cell. The wave smashed into the rock formation the news crew and Mr. Satan had taken refuge in, shattering the rocks, and blowing them backwards. The camera was completely wrecked by the force, ending the broadcast. The Z-Fighters took flight, avoiding getting blown back by the incredible force.

"Incredible," said Yamcha. ''Their combined power alone is shaking the Earth.''

The dust parted, revealing Gohan. "It ends here," said the half-Saiyan, walking towards Cell.

Cell was staring in shock at the amount of power the half-Saiyan was displaying. Even with all of his new power, the boy still had an upperhand. But it wasn't large enough of a gap that he couldn't win though. "Well," said Cell, regaining his confidence, "it seems I underestimated your power. Now the game will really get exciting once more!"

"No more games Cell," said Gohan, continuing to walk towards Cell. He stopped, assuming a fighting stance. He shot at Cell with pent up fury.

"Yes!" shouted Cell, raising a hand to block the punch, but only an after-image reached him. He looked up into the sky, where Gohan had reappeared, hovering overhead.

Cell scowled, shooting into the sky after Gohan. Gohan launched a kick, but Cell's image passed right through him. Gohan turned, seeing that Cell was hovering overhead.

Cell flew at Gohan, launching a flurry of punches that the half-Saiyan managed to dodge with ease.

"Stop mocking me!" said Cell in frustration, throwing a kick. Gohan raised one arm and blocked it easily. Pushing Cell's leg back, it was his turn to go on the offensive, Cell barely managing to dodge the flurry of punches and kicks Gohan sent at him.

Cell and Gohan started trading blows evenly, both blocking or dodging whatever the other threw at them, though Gohan did it with considerable more ease than Cell.

"It's..." said Tien, shocked, "it's like Gohan isn't even trying!"

"His power surpasses that of Cell's still, though the margin isn't too much," said Piccolo.

Cell shot an energy beam at Gohan, who smacked it away. The android charged at the half-Saiyan, but Gohan always moved out of the way at the last second. Flying towards the ground in pursuit, right in front of the news crew and Mr. Satan, Cell launched a final attack, but Gohan phased out of sight.

"Okay," said Mr. Satan, "I admit this kid is good, but still, I could beat him with one hand."

Cell and Gohan shot at each other, every punch being met by one of the opponent's own. The shockwaves from the forces of the punches meeting were blasting through the sky.

"You're mine!" shouted Cell, launching an energy-filled punch at Gohan, who leapt out of the way at the last second. The energy exploded on the desert floor.

Cell looked up in frustration. Gohan set down Mr. Satan and the camera man already behind him. Cell fired off a few blasts at Gohan. Most of which had been avoided or parried by Gohan though one had managed to catch him off guard.

''Aggh.'' Gohan hissed, but shook off the pain and charged Cell. The menace kicked at Gohan only for Gohan to pass right through it.

"How did he do that?" asked Cell, snarling in frustration. Gohan hovered down off the cliff he'd been standing on with two hands raised above his forehead.

"He's winning!" said Krillin, his eyes wide open.

"It's almost too good to be true," said Tien, all three eyes wide open.

''Super MASENKO!''

The blast took Cell off guard and launched him across the battlefield in a trench. When Cell recovered Gohan was approaching him at mach 30 speeds and more.

Cell brought his fist back, launching a punch at Gohan. Gohan ducked under the blow and sent his feet at Cell's legs, attempting to trip the android, but Cell jumped over the blow and shot into the air.

Gohan launched himself in pursuit. Cell launched a wave of punches at Gohan, but the half-Saiyan easily dodged all of them. ''Solar Flare!'' The blinding light that resembled a Sun caught Gohan off guard and taht left cell a small window of opportunity.

The android clobbered Gohan in the head, sending him to the ground. The half Saiyan climbed out of his crater and looked at Cell with narrowed eyes. The android shot towards Gohan and Gohan charged back with equivalent or more ferocity than Cell.

"Why do my punches always miss you?" shouted Cell in immense frustration as Gohan blocked or evaded all his strikes. "Enough of this!" He'd managed to back Gohan up against another cliff. He launched one final punch, but it only hit the cliff side, shattering the cliff into smaller rocks.

Gohan spun around and sent Cell flying with a side kick to the abdomen.

"You!" said Cell, turning around and finding himself face to face with Gohan. He began snarling in anger, exploding his energy around him. When the light cleared, Gohan was completely unharmed, still hovering exactly where he had been.

Gohan flew backwards, landing on the ground, still glaring at Cell. "I've had it!" said Cell, landing directly in front of Gohan. He regained a confident smirk. "Don't get too confident, for I have yet to show you what I'm truly capable of. But you will see soon enough."

"Can it, you're lying," said Gohan. Cell looked at him in surprise. ''Its a bluff, enhancing your power would only make you end up like Trunks, power but no speed.''

"Ah, a cheeky one," said Cell, his smirk still plastered on his face. "Well then, let's see how you fare against me when I-"

He never got to finish saying what he was going to say as Gohan punched him in the jaw, breaking it and making it hang as if his lip were numb.

"He's only bluffing," said Yamcha. "He's trying to scare Gohan."

Cell assumed his preferred power-up stance and started yelling. His aura flashed around him, and an immense wind came off of him, blowing Mr. Satan and the news crew away.

"I warned you," said Gohan, unmoved by the incredible force emerging from Cell.

"He's making the whole Earth shake!" exclaimed Piccolo.

"This freak's totally out of control!" said Krillin. "But how do you stop something like that?"

"So, kid," said Cell, straightening up, "are you impressed by what you see?" He was so confident in his supreme full perfect fighting power.

"Really? You can't beat me now because of your speed, so why bother enhancing your power?" asked Gohan, completely unmoved by all the forces that had emerged from Cell.

Cell twitched in fury, then shot at Gohan in a flash, delivering a punch directly to the half-Saiyan's face. He laughed, then was horrified when Gohan merely opened his eyes, straightened his head, and stared at him straight in the face.

"Gohan still holds the advantage," said Krillin. "His power is still greater than Cell's but not by much. He can't when though, his speed has dropped."

Cell drew back his fist for a second punch, but faster than he could follow, Gohan had launched one of his own, burying his fist directly in Cell's stomach.

The Z-Fighters were in shock at the display of power Gohan had put out. ''You haven't learned have you?''

Cell snarled in fury, raising his fist yet again, but Gohan shot forward and delivered an uppercut directly to the android's chin. Cell went flying backwards, collapsing to his knees. Cell then reverted back to his sleeker but more balanced out state.

''Cell can't beat Gohan! I think we may have just won the lottery!''

"Remember, Krillin," said Piccolo, "it's not over till it's over!"

"I don't want to jinx him," said Yamcha. "But I think Krillin might be right!"

"Hey," said Hercule Satan where he and the cameraman cowered in a rock formation. "How much longer until you get that thing fixed? I want them to see when I go out there and defeat Cell after my stomach pain goes away."

"Not yet, boss," said the cameraman, working on the camera, trying to repair it.

'I can't believe this kid, he's incredible,' thought Mr. Satan.

Cell stared in shock as Gohan began to approach him. "You are as foolish as your father," said Cell to the half-Saiyan, who stopped just in front of him. "It's time for you to learn some respect!" He launched a kick at Gohan, who caught it in one hand, then kicked Cell in the head, sending the android flying backwards.

''Don't.'' WHAM! ''You Ever.'' POWW! ''Talk About.'' BAMMMMM! ''MY FATHER AGAIN!'' Gohan beat Cell down into a bloody pulp.

Gohan pivoted to face Cell, who was laying face down on the ground. "I will not be humiliated by a child," said Cell to himself, starting at Gohan. "This has gone far enough! I am tired of playing these games!"

Gohan began to approach Cell. Cell opened his hands and summoned two huge, golden disks of energy.

"Look out!" shouted Krillin, recognizing the move as his own Destructo Disks.

"Destructo Disk!" shouted Cell, sending both disks flying at Gohan, who raised his hands and caught them, diffusing their energy a moment later.

"He caught the disks!" said Krillin in surprise.

"You little fool," said Cell, recovering from his own surprise. "I will show you what true power is!" He shot into the air, raising his fingers to his forehead. "Special Beam Cannon, fire!" he shouted, sending the attack he stole from Piccolo at Gohan.

Gohan merely slapped the beam away, sending it flying into the sky. It exploded, lighting the entire sky in bright, violet light.

"Curse you!" shouted Cell, raising one finger at Gohan. "Rapid Fire!" he shouted, sending a massive amount of energy waves at Gohan. They all seemingly passed right through him, not harming him in the slightest.

'This kid is gold,' thought Mr. Satan, staring at Gohan. "Yeah, that's it!" he exclaimed. "This kid has some talent. I've decided to take him under my wing."

"Uh, Mr. Satan," said the camera man who was also watching. "I really hate to say this, but honestly, who do you think you are? It is obvious the boy is far more skilled than you."

"What? Come on, are you for real? That kid is an amateur. Oh sure, he's got talent, but he needs help. If he trains hard enough, he could be as good as me!"

The cameraman turned around to stare at Mr. Satan in bewilderment, as if to say "You're still not fooling anyone," then turned back to his work.

"Look, Krillin," said Tien. "The tables have turned on Cell. I think Gohan's got him."

"Yeah," agreed Krillin. "He's unbelievable. Do you think he can beat him this time?"

"He will," said Piccolo, his eyes wide at his former student's power.

"What are you so afraid of, Cell?" asked Gohan, walking towards the android. "I'm just a child. Can you really not beat a child? Obviously not, because now, I'm going to destroy you."

Cell charged Gohan in fury and took him off guard with two fists. The boy was sent into the trench but he recovered easily. With just a little blood coming from a minor wound on his forehead where his headband is and his lip, he brushed it off.

Cell landed on the ground and pooped out 6 Cell juniors that looked exactly like him. ''You three, go terrorize the Earth. The rest of you are to stay with me, and help me kill this boy so we have no more threats in the future,'' Cell commanded.

In response, he got a series of giggles and chuckles from his spawns.

''What the hell are those things?'' Gohan questioned to himself.

''Oh those are just my children,'' Cell said calmly. ''They're here to ensure your demise brat.''

''Oh I didn't know you were the type to accept help. This ends now, the nightmare that Gero started will end here by my hand!'' Gohan pointed towards himself.

''We'll see brat, children join me in wiping this whole Solar System off the universe for good!''

''KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!'' The two combatants and the Cell juniors cupped their hands together, one on top of the other.

''MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!'' The combatants then reeled their arms back in charging position.

''HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!'' The adversaries then began to channel azure ki into the palms of their hands.

''MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!'' The oppositions then intensified the amount of ki they put into the orb of blue ki until it was launch ready.

''HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!''

The two colossal blasts of the turtle destruction wave clashed with one another in a colossal beam struggle that's shaking the Earth and making a giant crater in the center of it. Normally, Gohan would've already won the clash. However, Cell not only had his power, but the power of three Cell Junior's backing him up. Though they only had a fraction of Cell's power, they had more than enough strength to put Cell's beam on par with Gohan's.

''Hmph, I see we're dead even. How about I up it a notch? HAAAAAAAAAAA!'' Cell exerted more of power into the blast, making it gain a slight edge on Gohan's.

''Grrr... I won't let anyone else down! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!'' Gohan pushed back with an equilavent amount of force to Cell's. The blasts forced eachother back to a stalemate. However, Gohan is using his full strength while Cell is using 99% of his strength.

''Tell the Earth and this Solar System good bye! GRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!'' Cell put all of his strength into the beam struggle and it put his beam ahead of Gohan's again by a little.

Gohan slid a bit while cursing to himself. ''Dammit, I'm using all of my power yet Cell has the upperhand.''

'Gohan, Gohan! Its your father.'

'Hey dad, its over, I've failed.'

''No you haven't, you still have more power. Just use the power that anger grants you. Use it and win this for me and everyone else Cell killed. Do it son,' With that, Goku cut the link to leave Gohan on his own with encouragement.

'You're right dad, I can do this. I must,' Gohan thought internally.

''Finally give up Gohan, you can't win! And just look over there, your friends are taking a beating.''

The words of encouragement Goku left with his son repeated itself in Gohan's mind.

Use the power that anger grants you.

'I will dad,' Gohan thought too himself.

''Don't count me out yet Cell. Grrr... HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!''

''I'll be back,'' said Cell as his body evaporated. ''No! Impossible! I am the ultimate being! Perfect, I am perfect right or am I?'' Cell questioned the last part to himself as both him and the Cell juniors that aided him were annihilated completely within the blast. Gohan kept up the wave of pure energy until he could no longer sense even a fraction of Cell's energy. Finally, he lowered his hands. Not a shred of Cell was left, even his nucleus had been destroyed.

Gohan did one last scan with his senses, searching for Cell's energy anywhere. He then looked at the news crew and Mr. Satan, who had all been knocked unconscious by the energy exerted by his and Cell's beam struggle.

Gohan finally turned to the Cell juniors fighting the other Z-fighters and he obliterated them all with three consecutive blasts. That was the last bit of energy Gohan could spare before promptly falling out of Super Saiyan 2 into base form. The Son of Goku flew down to his friends, all of whom were staring at him in awe. He landed right in front of them. "It's finally over," said the half-Saiyan.

"He did it!" shouted Krillin in joy. "Gohan defeated Cell! Gohan defeated Cell! Finally, the nightmare of a day is over!"

"I can't sense his energy anywhere!" said Piccolo, his eyes wide in shock. "He's gone. Cell is gone for good!"

"You're the man, Gohan," said Yamcha, giving the half-Saiyan the thumbs up. "The way you beat Cell, it was so... effortless."

''Yamcha, that wasn't effortless. It took all I had and more to defeat him. I just wish we didn't have so many casualties today.''

That statement made everyone droop their heads in sadness. ''Don't worry we can fix that with the Dragonballs. We can just go to Namek to bring back Goku and Vegeta,'' Krillin said which lifted everyones moods by a slight bit.

''I'm proud of you kid, you've become a fine warrior and person in general,'' Piccolo said in a rare glimpse of emotion. Gohan then promptly passed out due to exhaustion though he was caught by Yamcha.

Finally, the nightmare was over. Cell has been killed, slain by Son Gohan. The Son of Goku once again lived up to his father's reputation and saved the Earth from harm. What's next for the Z-fighters? That remains a mystery.
