Chapter 41: Extinction


The tension was almost audible in the otherwise-silent chamber as the three Super Saiyans faced off against the five Ghost Warriors. No-one moved.

Goku, Vegeta and Gohan... Frieza thought, examining the trio. This is too good to be true! All three will pay for their transgressions, starting with Vegeta!

Great, just great. Beating them already, only for them to comeback stronger. Lots of old friends that want revenge...I better stay sharp, especially with Cell. Goku thought, narrowing his eyes and looking around the area.

Meanwhile, Cooler's narrowed eyes flicked back and forth between his three opponents. Those eyes! Super Saiyans. Gohan is here... this is perfect! I finally get to settle the score with the brat. Oh and Vegeta is too, if only the Namek were hear so I can crush him as well.

Vegeta's mouth twitched upwards in a smirk. Excellent...Frieza is here so I can kill him again. So is Cooler, his blasted father and that bastard Cell! Perfect.

Directly opposite him, Bojack flexed his biceps, grunting. Not the same brute that killed me in the Juno system, but killing other Saiyans is the next best thing!

Standing next to the Hera-jin, Cold glared hatefully at the trio, more specifically at Son Goku. All three pitched in to end my life. That monkey Goku bested me at my pinnacle of strength, he will be the first to feel my wrath!

Gohan narrowed his eyes, gritting his teeth. The electricity coursing around his body crackled much faster. Cell was hard enough to beat three years ago, now he's quintupled in strength, matching ours. Not to mention Cooler, Cold and Frieza are after my head. This gonna be tough.

Cell grinned maliciously, the intensity of the two parties clashing in the air of the room itself. This time, Son Gohan, I will not fall so easily! And you also have your father and Vegeta with you. I've always wanted to fight Goku head-to-head.

"Well," said Goku, breaking the silence, "If Raichi wanted people who hated the Saiyans...he chose greatly. Looks like we're not leaving here without a bout, so bring it!"

"Indeed." Cell chuckled, vanishing in a burst of super-speed. The other seven fighters quickly followed, collisions echoing through the tower as the battle began.

Frieza made straight for Vegeta, who only dodged his charge at the last second, retaliating with a downwards elbow that knocked Frieza sprawling to the floor. The frost demon pulled himself up, muscles bulging out as he burst into his 100% mode almost instantaneously. "Come here, monkey!"

"Yes "Lord Frieza"," Vegeta muttered sarcastically, kneeing Frieza in the face at faster-than-light speeds. The blow sent the Arcosian sprawling towards Goku, whom hammered the frost demon to the ground in a hay-maker motion.

Goku grunted. If he'd been this strong on Namek, we'd have stood no chance at all! Just then, King Cold rushed in at 100% full power, attempting to barrel into Goku's back. However, the Saiyans keen sixth sense of "reaction" allowed him to evade with ease. Cell came careening in from behind, his fist cocked back. Goku jumped back as Cell's fist crashed into the floor, shattering the metal beneath it.

King Cold tried to charge back into Goku when his eldest son rammed into his chest, courtesy of the hybrid. Said teenager rushed back at them, aura reaching outwards like a storm of electricity.

"You're the strongest of the lot, no doubt about it..." Goku said, grinning slightly at the prospect of the challenge.

"You're correct in your assumptions. Would you like to test yourself against perfection mano-e-mano?" Cell's aura billowed up around him, peppered with crimson Super Saiyan 2-like sparks of electricity.

"Thought you'd never ask. I'm ready when you are, Cell." Goku flung a golden energy ball overarm, detonating it on the ground at Cell's feet, forcing the bio-android to jump into the air to avoid it. Goku flew up to meet him, landing a solid punch to Cell's stomach. "Come on, Cell! I know you can do better than that! You're perfect right?"

"How dare you question my status. Let's see you deal with this! Special Beam Cannon!"

Vegeta smiled as he dodged Bojack's furious attacks, his arms folded over his chest, using the slightest of movements to dance just out reach of every swing. "Tch! And here I was hoping for a fight." Vegeta backflipped, bringing both feet up and kicking Bojack in the chin, knocking him flat on his back. Vegeta landed on the opposite side of Bojack, facing away from him and humming absent-mindedly. "Guess I was wrong."

"You were wrong..." Bojack growled, transforming to his bulked-up green form with surprising speed. "...to underestimate me!" He brought one hand forwards, launching a bright green energy wave that engulfed Vegeta, completely obscuring it in its light. Bojack chuckled as he lowered his hand. "Now what was it you just said? 'Here I was hoping for a fight'? I could say the same, fool!"

"Oh, you'll get one," Vegeta whispered, standing inches behind Bojack. As the space pirate whirled to face him, Vegeta slammed his knee up into the massive alien's gut, doubling him over. "Now, this is more like it! Say... weren't you that head on the Tuffle Broadcast?"

"What of it you mongrel?!" Bojack pondered. The prince chuckled to himself, before going into ruthless hysterics. "So you were killed by that fake mythical Saiyan Broly? You're truly pathetic, he's nothing to me now."

"Grr...I'll kill you!" The ever impulsive Hera-jin charged head first, thoughts second.

Gohan shut his eyes, feeling for the elusive ki signature. "Cooler sure has gotten faster to compliment his strength, plus it seems he's been training. Sensing his suppressed power is rather difficult. "

"Right here! DIE!" Cold roared, leaping at Gohan from behind. Gohan calmly sidestepped, backhanding the Arcosian into the wall, and resumed searching with his ki sense. "I wasn't talking about you. You don't have the skill to hide your energy whatsoever, no matter how fast you maneuver. Besides, you're too weak to hurt me in this state."

"Oh really? Let's test that theory shall we?" The King of the frost demons swung at the hybrid, whom evaded it swiftly. Then the demi-Saiyan grabbed his tails and swung him around and around until launching him at Vegeta's direction. The prince caught his tail and smashed Bojack in the face with him, hard.

"I, on the other hand!" Cooler yelled, emerging through the ground at Gohan's feet and landing a direct hit to the half-Saiyan's face.

"Ah. There you are," Gohan said, barely noticing the blow. He grabbed Cooler's forearm in an iron grip, easily pulling the hand away from his face. "You, on the other hand, are intelligent. Too bad you can't harm me." With a powerful strike to the nose, he sent Cooler skidding away from him, digging up deep rents in the floor with his feet and tail.

Cooler drew in quick, ragged breaths. "I see...impressive. But this is hardly my full power like you know already!" Again, like the others, his transformation to his armored fifth form was almost instant. Gohan watched impassively. "So why are you attacking me, anyway? Is it the same old story of last time?"

"You've matched me blow for blow and bested me. I consider you a worthy adversary to test my power against," With that, he transformed into his fifth form almost instantly. "I want to see if I'm strong enough to defeat my superior."

Gohan cracked a small grin. "Thanks, I guess." With that, he and Gohan raced off into the air, trading rapid blows with Cold joining in to help his eldest.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Goku and Cell flew circles around each other, firing barrages of small energy blasts that collided with each other, exploding in the air between them.

"Don't count me out!" Frieza yelled, rocketing up at Goku. The Super Saiyan jumped out of the way of Frieza's oncoming fist, kicking him away to Vegeta. The prince kiai waved Bojack away from him about a good 50 feet, and then blasted Frieza into an oblivion.

"Pathetic, don't bother coming back. You're not even worth looking at." Vegeta stated, then blocking the Hera-jins strike with an X cross of arms.

"You let your guard down, monkey!"

"I'm still here, but you won't be soon enough. You'll end up like that scum Frieza," he said, raising his guard.

"But I'm still here too!" Frieza's voice called from behind. Goku jumped sideways to avoid one of Frieza's trademark purple death beams, then turned to face Frieza, backing away to simultaneously keep an eye on Cell. Frieza's body, he noticed, was in the process of reforming from some dark gaseous substance. "You see this, monkey's? We can't be killed as the Destron Gas will just rebuild us! This is a battle you simply cannot win!"

"Guys!" Goku shouted over to the others. He saw Vegeta standing over Bojack's body, which was rapidly disintegrating back into Destron Gas; and Gohan punching straight through Cooler's chest and blasting him with the other hand, destroying him. Cold then charged Gohan, attempting to even touch the smooth teenager. He swiped with his tail, to which Gohan caught. The hybrid then blasted a hole through Cold's chest.

"Careful!" Goku warned. "If you kill them, they'll just reform from the gas!"

"What the?" Before Gohan could register this, Cooler and Cold reappeared behind him, each grabbing one of his arms. Before they could smash Gohan against the metallic floors of the fortress, the hybrid flared up his erratic aura, pushing the two enemies away.

"Now, wherever do you think you're going?" Cell asked, charging energy in both hands. Gohan warped in front of his greatest enemy and attempted to kick the android in the face with his boot. However, said being warped above Gohan via usage of the same technique and launched the energy. The hybrid was taken aback at his foe using his own maneuver against him, and reeled from the beams impact. The teenager flipped over, skidding across the ground a bit.

"Cheap trick Cell, crafty as ever. Using my own technique against me won't save you."

"Oh, if it isn't Son Gohan. This is quite the little reunion isn't it?"

"Save it Cell. This reunion will be the shortest one ever."

"This is really starting to get old and incredibly annoying..." Goku complained, but before they could resume their battle, Bojack's body came flying in from behind, crashing into Frieza and sending them both tumbling down to the ground in a tangle of limbs.

Vegeta saw Gohan struggling to fend off Cooler, Cell and Cold at the same time, vanished and appeared between them, wrapping his arm around Cooler's throat. He rocketed down at the floor, letting go at the last second and letting Cooler drive head-first into it. Goku grasped Cell's shoulder and vanished away from Gohan leaving Cold. The hybrid smashed the sides of his palms on King Cold's neck and kiai waved him straight into the metallic ground.

"Thanks Vegeta," Gohan stated, brushing himself off. He noticed Frieza sending hundreds of death beams at him that he simply defected.

"Hmph, think nothing of it. I have a score to settle with the Arcosian bastards, so they're mine. You fight that imbecile Bojack while I'm at it."

"Who, the big green brute?" Gohan took advantage of Frieza's surprise, swinging his arm back and taking the Ghost Warrior's head off with the knuckles of his hand.

"Sure, I got it." He appeared in front of Bojack, throwing a quick punch that the pirate blocked with considerable effort. He then gave a powerful uppercut to Bojack, breaking through his guard. The hera's arms lapsed up in retaliation, giving Gohan all the time he needed to pull off a combo. In less than a second, the teenager double kicked the pirate in the face then punched him twenty times in the stomach. Finally, the hybrid clipped the space tyrant in the jaw, shooting him across the barren metallic landscape.

Goku and Cell's eyes locked. Without a word, they leaped at each other, joining battle once more.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Well, now." Vegeta grinned ruthlessly, cracking his knuckles. "It seems you're immortal for the time being. That means you can't die which means I get to kill you indefinitely until you stay dead. I'm going to make you three wish you were dead until you die. Now welcome to your torture sessions, and I promise they're going to hurt."

Cooler glowered. "Don't get confident, ape. You're outnumbered three to o—" he choked as Vegeta shoved his head into the ground, simultaneously kicking Frieza in the head and snapping his neck. He then crushed Cold's head between his two fists on each side.

"Oh, yes." Vegeta chuckled as Cooler rolled away, coughing, and Frieza and Cold dissolved and reformed. "Remember the hell you put me through, Frieza? All those years? And your treachery Cooler! I have one thing to thank you for though, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be as strong as I am today. That's the price you pay for crossing me. I'm going to enjoy killing you three more than I should."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Gohan dodged a kick from Bojack, then caught and deflected a small energy blast. "Hmm...you're pretty good. But you're no Cell or Broly."

"You know, I wanted to kill the brute you just named." Bojack flashed his jagged teeth. "However, I guess one monkey's as good as the next!"

He blocked Bojack's elbow drop, shoving upwards and throwing the pirate over his shoulder. He then saw Vegeta kick Cooler in his direction. Quickly, the hybrid put two hands above his head, one behind the other, charging golden/orange ki.

"Masenko-HA!" The fiery blast enveloped Cooler completely, and when the beam fizzled out after blowing up an uninhabited planet, only smoke could be seen. "That should keep Cooler down for at least a few seconds. But how're we gonna kill these guys in the long run?"

"Come on Gohan, think. Think!" Gohan saw the space pirate come, and was too lost in his thoughts to stop his bulky frame from ramming into the teenagers body. Gohan flipped over, landing on the ground with a TCKK. He caught Bojack's fist and put a hole in him with his palm via ki blast making him dissolve into ebony smoke once more. Whilst Bojack came back in approximately five seconds, the half breed noticed Cooler didn't return at all. It had been about thirty seconds, so that must've been a sign.

"But what could that mean..."


Flashback...

Gohan was preparing to finish off Cooler once and for all, but said adversary wouldn't go down without a fight. Cooler flew up to the top of the bizarre ship and raised one finger, charging tangerine colored ki much quicker than Frieza ever did.

"Okay, our battle will end in a clash to claim who is the strongest. Should you decline, this planet is doomed to destruction once more. This is the clash to end all bloodline feuds. Now die monkey!" The Super Nova on Coolers finger grew at an exponential rate until it was at full capacity. "Saiyanara!"

The Super Nova roared on to the son of Goku, who was charging his own beam to defeat his. His two palms were stuck out, charging dark azure ki. "Daisenko-HAAAAA!" Gohan's navy blue blast raged on to meet the Super Nova in a clash to fight for dominance.

They were at a stand still, however the Super Nova was still moving at the same rate, while the Daisenko was being pushed back.

''Hahahahaha, it seems you don't have the power to end it do you, mister Super Saiyan. Resist while you can, but it will soon be the last thing you'll do.'' The Super Nova continued on wards until it was dangerously close to Gohan.

Gohan began to let loose tears of grief as he knew that he would be done in that day. Just when he thought it was over, he felt energy coming from someone. He looked to his right and saw Goku, Piccolo and Krillin all giving the energy they could spare to stop Cyborg cooler.

''Do it Son, I know you can. You're the hero for the moment, so make me proud.'' Goku smiled and gave his son thumbs up. Gohan smiled back at him and pushed all of the repressed anger and power left dormant inside of him, out. ''HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!''

''Its over, I've won, wait whats this?'' Cooler felt his Nova being forced back towards him and he felt himself touching his own Nova. ''What the Hell! Why now?! I was on the grasp to victory! DAMN YOU SAIYANS!''

Cooler's body, instead of being pushed into one of the three stars on Namek, was obliterated then and there. They made sure that the threat of the Cold family was gone, forever in the universe.

The blast exploded, which ended Cooler once and for all. Gohan knew that the ship was going to blow up soon and shouted out to his father. ''Dad, take us out of here, this ship is gonna blow!''

Goku nodded and gathered all the harmless beings on the ship using Instant Transmission. He then had everybody touch each other before he used Instant Transmission to get everyone out of the ship.


The hybrid snapped his fingers in realization. "That's it! When Cooler died against me, he was obliterated from the Quintillions of megatons of force. I blasted him with easily Septillions of megatons of force, and he was crushed just as before. He died the same way, and he didn't comeback!"

Bojack reappeared behind the hybrid before he could expand upon his thoughts, squeezing him as tight as possible. "You can't kill me, with this regeneration, I'm immortal you fool."

"I don't care. Now I know how to defeat all of you. HAAAAAAAAH!" The hybrid bellowed, his aura electrocuting his foe and blowing him away by sheer force.

"Guys, I blasted Cooler with my Masenko and he never returned. He stayed dead!"

"He was mine to destroy brat! Besides, it can't just be annihilation," Vegeta muttered, indicating the frost demon's reforming behind him. "I've sent both of them into oblivion, and they're still...eh?" He turned, seeing only Frieza had come back, Cold was gone. "I see...wait a minute! I've got it! When Gohan killed Cooler and we killed Cold, they were—"

"Terminated! That's how they were killed!" Goku realized, twisting to avoid several quick attacks from Cell. He struck back, but Cell blocked, and they hung in the air momentarily before leaping off again, battling back and forth across the chamber.

"And now that I think about it..." Vegeta said thoughtfully, rubbing his chin, "...that's how we killed that scum Cold in the first place. In conclusion..we have to kill them the same way they originally died—then they can't regenerate!"

"Got it!" Gohan braced himself as Bojack barreled towards him again. "Now how did Broly kill this guy?"

"Good question, hey can't Kakarot read minds? Get him to read Bojacks!" Vegeta ducked as Frieza's tail swiped at him. "Kakabrat, switch opponents with your father."

Goku took a painful elbow strike to the chest, kicking Cell in the side even as he cried out. The combatants fell away from each other, and Goku took a deep breath, recovering his balance. "Change adversaries Gohan!" Goku appeared before Bojack whilst Gohan warped in front of Cell.

Vegeta turned as Frieza appeared above him, swinging his arms down in a two-fisted strike. Vegeta blocked with ease, then grabbed hold of the frost demon's shoulder in his left hand. "Welcome to the end of your falsely renewed life. And I promise it's going to hurt."

Frieza's only response was the clenching of his teeth and the fear residing in the tyrants eyes.


Flashback...

Vegeta grabbed his fist and applied pressure to it. ''How does it feel Frieza? Huh! How does it feel to be tormented further by a monkey!'' yelled Vegeta as he continued to crush Frieza's arm. Bones cracked and succumbed to the superior pressure.

Frieza then yelped in more pain and clenched his fist so tight he drew purple blood from it.

''I HATE YOU!" yelled Frieza and when he said that Vegeta's smirk turned more ruthless.

Vegeta yanked on Frieza's arm so hard that the limb came right off of him. ''AAARGH!'' screamed Frieza in the sharp and burning sensation he was feeling at the moment.

"Boohoo, you're just getting a taste of the Saiyan races pain," Vegeta stated, his smirk getting more sinister.

''You know Frieza, its about time for you to die once and for all, as I can't stand the thought of you being alive,"smirked Vegeta as he blew Frieza away with a blast.

Frieza crashed into a rock platform and looked terrified and angry at the same time. Frieza brought up his finger and put all of his power into it. ''Dirty monkey, you'll rue the day you crossed me!'' yelled Frieza as the huge Nova of energy glow.

Frieza flew up to the sky and looked on as Vegeta had his arms crossed and flung the Super Nova at him. Vegeta just smirked as he caught the Nova effortlessly.

Frieza looked on in irritation as he just couldn't kill Vegeta once and for all. Frieza charged up a blast orb in his remaining arms hand and fired it off at his on Super Nova detonating it.

The detonation caused a huge blast radius which leveled an acre of land and created a giant crater where it impacted.

Freza looked on excited as he thought he had finally finished off Vegeta for good. A sudden voice called out from nowhere and yelled. ''Hey Frieza, prepare to die!'' yelled the evilly excited voice.

Vegeta stood on a cliff with a big bright blue orb of power was in his hands and he fired it off. ''BIG BANG ATTACK!'' fired off Vegeta's new signature move.

Frieza barely had enough time to jump out of the way when Vegeta was in front of him face to face with a Galcik Gun in hand.

Vegeta smirked. ''Good riddance Frieza," Vegeta yelled as he punched a hole in Frieza's robot torso and let oil leak out.

Frieza dropped to the ground and before he would be killed he shouted. ''Father will avenge me monkey!'' yelled Frieza as Vegeta fired his Galick Gun at him.

Frieza remained laying there as the dark purple blast obliterated his whole entire body leaving no trace of Frieza left behind in the entire universe.


And that's exactly what happened for a second time, and it was a brutal sight indeed.

Bojack snarled, firing a volley of green energy waves. Goku ran straight at him, dodging and weaving through the deadly storm. Reaching Bojack, he jumped, swinging his knees forwards and ramming them right into the Ghost Warrior's chest, the impact punching straight through his skin and shattering his ribs, completely caving in his chest. Before the hera-jin could dissolve, the Saiyan put his hand on the pirates head. His memories before he died at the hands of Broly came to Goku's mind.

"So he was killed gruesomely, his ribs getting cave in. And then Broly ripping his head out of his neck. I'd hate to do this, but it helps that he's just a ghost as he's already dead," Goku stated. As soon as the tyrant reformed, Goku gripped his throat tightly. He then kneed Bojack twice in the rib cage area, shattering them once again. He then created a Destructo Disk with his left hand.

"I'm sorry for this, but it's necessary." With that, Goku dropped Bojack. Before Bojack could dissolve, he decapitated the pirate and held onto his head by the hair. Then the adversaries head and body eroded into destron gas, vanishing.

Gohan settled to the ground, Cell opposite him. Both were breathing heavily, having continued their relentless battle as the other Ghost Warriors fell around them. Goku and Vegeta stepped up on either side of Gohan, eyeing Cell carefully.

A surge of Destron Gas flowed into Cell, rejuvenating him and healing his injuries. He stood up straighter, his aura burned brighter, and his breathing slowed. "Aaahh...that's better. Do you see now? I am once again the ultimate being...and now, I am omnipotent!"

"You're a slave to Raichi," Goku pointed out. "Doesn't sound very much like you to bow down to inferiors."

Cell chuckled. "For now. Eventually after I'm done here with you three, I'll wipe out the doctor and free roam around the universe as I please."

Goku nodded. "That's more like it. I was beginning to think you weren't Cell, the enemy that killed me and Vegeta."

"Indeed."

"Good for you! Now, don't just stand there. Lets kill this bastard already." Vegeta's aura whipped up around him, lighting up the gloomy chamber and burning away the mist. "Follow my lead!" He rushed Cell, opening with a series of quick punches, then when Cell blocked those, trying a sweeping trip, but the android jumped over it, aiming a high kick at Vegeta's head. The Saiyan prince caught Cell's foot in both hands, pushing it away and renewing his attack.

"I see..." Goku smiled, understanding Vegeta's plan. "Gohan, get in position on the other side of Cell!"

"Already on it!" The two kind-hearted saiyans stood on opposite sides of Vegeta and his enemy as they continued to fight. Goku and Gohan moved and spoke simultaneously as they charged up their attacks. "KAME...HAME..." "MA...SENKO..."

We can't fire with Vegeta in the way! Goku thought grimly. Come on dammit, get out the path!

Cell blocked Vegeta's blow and returned with a punch of his own. Vegeta parried it and blocked the onslaught of the android. He then sprang into action, accelerating to full speed in under a second and kicking Cell's attacking arm out of the way, before throwing a solid punch into Cell's face, momentarily stunning the monster.

"Now!" Vegeta yelled, putting on a burst of speed as he escaped the blast zone.

"...HAAAAA!" Goku and Gohan fired, beams colliding on either side of Cell, stuck between them and with no time to dodge.

No...Cell mentally seethed. NO! Not again!


Flashback...

''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 upper-hand.''

'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 just yet Cell! I...will not...LOSE!"

"Grrr... HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!''

''I'll be back,'' said Cell as his body evaporated. ''No! Impossible! I am the ultimate being! Perfection! I am perfect... 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.


I will not...be defeated...by these inferior multi-cellular beings again! So close...so close to my goal...how did this happen—twice in my perfect life? Surely I could never be defeated by lesser beings...not in my perfect form! I'm comprised of the greatest fighters and much more! I...am perfect...right...?

Goku and Gohan sighed as they felt Cell's ki vanish, letting their attacks dissipate. "Okay..." Goku breathed. "That was exhilarating."

"So true. I can't wait for this to be over with completely," Gohan stated, his mouth inhaling oxygen at a rapid pace.

"Agreed." Vegeta looked up towards the ceiling. "Raichi! I'm coming to eviscerate you! I'm going to finish what my father started, do you hear? And then I'm gonna get my son and leave you son of a bitch."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

In his anxious state, Raichi had forgotten that his camera was still active, so the following scene was, unbeknownst to him, observed by the three Saiyans below him, at ground level.

"Damn it all!" Raichi shrieked, pounding a fist on his control console. "The Ghost Warriors were meant to be my invincible army! The ultimate triumph of Tuffle science over Saiyan brute strength! How could this be? Dr. Myuu!" he snapped, waving in the general direction of his ghost compatriot.

"We must commence Option Zero!" Dr. Raichi ordered it.

"Yes. Sending Saiyans to planet M2 to fight the incomplete Baby and General Rildo is a genius one indeed. What shall happen if they fail in the extermination of the Saiyans?" Myuu questioned, his ghost form curious.

Raichi paused. "I beg your pardon?" His eyes narrowed. "What makes you think the Saiyans have a chance against Rildo and Baby? Not to mention all the other Tuffle bots on that planet."

"Well seeing as they managed to get this far already, I wouldn't be surprised if a scenario such as that played out. We need something more to truly rid of the Saiyans," Dr. Myuu pointed out, stating the obvious based on the results of their previous efforts.

"Fair enough." Raichi frowned. "I'll blow up the planet as soon as they get on it."

"Who's to say you'll make it to that point?" A menacing voice called out. The two former Tuffles turned to see Vegeta with his arms crossed, and the other two Saiyans on each side of him.

"Dammit! Myuu, deploy them now! I'll hold them off." The ghost doctor held out his palms, energy collecting on the outside of them. However, it was short lived as Goku smacked his arms down and put his palm on the Tuffles head. He then collected all of the doctors memories.

"Guys, it seems he was never killed but absorbed into that machine thingy," Goku announced. Vegeta and Gohan nodded. The former blasted Myuu one-handed, making him evaporate for a few seconds. However, he moved the switch and touched the 'launch' button on the control module just before the golden blast of energy could blow him away. That meant Goten and Trunks were sent away from their clutches once again.

"Heh, you Saiyans will never see your offspring again. I'll make sure of that, and another creation of mine is conquering the Earth as we speak."

The Saiyans paled at the thought, this was just one big trap. Laid out by Raichi to lure the Saiyans to their deaths, using Goten and Trunks as bait. And they fell straight for the hook, line and sinker maneuver. Now the Earth is being affronted by them whilst Goten and Trunks are headed opposite the direction of Earth. That meant it was a battle on two fronts, one in space and one for the Earth.

"Dammit! I guess we'll just hafta trust in Piccolo and the others. It's too far away for me to sense their energy, and Goten and Trunks can't be left alone," Goku bellowed, gritting his teeth and his body vibrating in anger.

"You're right dad. We should chase after Goten and Trunks."

"To hell with it all, let's go right now. But not without blowing this rock to smithereens," Vegeta called out, shooting through the dark gritty walls of the chamber/laboratory. The other two Saiyans followed in earnest, wanting to reach Goten and Trunks as soon as possible.

They all jumped into the Infinity and shot off. Before they left the atmosphere, Vegeta launched a rather small ki lance at the planet, blowing it up in a matter of seconds.


A/N: That's the chapter folks. I decided to right the Earth's point of view in the next chapter as the main focus. I just felt like getting the Saiyans point of view out of the way. I expanded upon the Tuffle idea much more than it already is and the human side is completely original so it's bound to be more interesting. We'll cover all of that in the next installment, and I'm sorry for making you guys wait for more than two weeks. I just lost some inspiration and I had a lack of worth ethic. Plus the Goku vs. Superman death battle rematch kind of killed my mood for DBZ for about a week. Though I agreed with Superman winning in the end, the fight should have being longer and more intense as it was the "rematch of the century". Well that's enough rambling from me, take care.

Review Section:

C: I enjoyed the chapter so far are you exactly using destron gas and hatred to summon ghost warriors like in the movie coz destron gas can cause the heroes to be temporarily de-powered until the antidote is used!

R: Crap, I forgot about that! I didn't implement that into the chapter as you can sere, my bad. Thanks for the reminding me and the review.

C: Wow... this chapter was really awesome

R: Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it.

C: Great job this was a great chapter.

R: Thanks for the compliment.

C: This chapter was great, the cut to Krillin was a bit strange but interesting and I can't wait to see who Piccolo is fighting one thing though, Piccolo absorbed Slug, so he can't be a ghost. I am happy to see all the saiyans kicking ass together, that's awesome. Goku's Kamehameha X10 and Final Flash is hilariously powerful, I can't wait to see how it just destroys other enemies. One weird thing, you put in a strange sentence in the Krillin cut back, Goku launched a punch at his son, who rolled out of the blow, you gotta fix that. I can't wait for the next chapter, keep up the great work. How strong are Krillin and 18, are they 16's level yet, or are they around semi-perfect cell or maybe even stronger?

R: Thanks for the help as always. Yeah, I realized that myself and edited Slug out of the picture. And I had wrote an earlier fight of Goku and Gohan, but I decided to keep it for later as I didn't use it. Then I decided to showcase a bit of Krillin's training so I decided to use that scene. I over looked it so my bad, but nobodies perfect. And Krillin at full throttle is in-between 16 and Cell semi-perfect form. 18 is around 16's level of power after kicking Krillins ass for three years.

C: Absolutely loved the combo vegeta and goku overwhelmed hatchiyak with. 10x Kamehameha and final flash he never stood a ghost of a chance. (Hercule might've had a better chance against a saibamen then what hatchiyak had against that blast lol)

The ghost warriors part looks like its shaping up to be good. They sucked in the hatchiyak movie but maybe youll do them some justice.

R: I probably didn't do them any justice based off of this chapter alone, as they sucked period. They're only ghosts and they didn't stand a chance against the Saiyans, except Cell and maybe Bojack.

C: Nice chapter, I can't wait for the next one :)

R: Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it.
