Chapter 39: The Cell Game Part 2
Gohan has transformed into a Super Saiyan 2. Cell was smiling.
Cell: Dear lord in Piccolo, finally! And here I thought killing Sixteen was harder for me than it was for you. I'm confused. Were you friends? Did you talk about birds together? Couple of bird nerds?
Gohan: The murder of one's own child or children.
He quickly snags the bag away from Cell. He then teleports in front of one of the Cell Juniors.
Gohan: You wanted me to define filicide.
The Cell Junior charges at Gohan, but he chops it's head off, making it explode.
Vegeta: Alright, would anyone care to explain?
Gohan teleports in front of two Cell Juniors. One of them picks up Krillin by the collar and extends it's claws to his neck, telling Gohan not to come any closer.
Gohan: Really? You're using Krillin as a hostage? His death is a day trip for us and a free ice cream sundae for him.
Krillin: Actually, I'm lactose intolerant.
Gohan: Nobody's lactose intolerant in heaven.
He raised his hand forward. One of the Cell Juniors flew away.
Gohan: Too little, too late.
The Cell Junior drops Krillin, appears behind Gohan, and fires a ki energy sphere at him, causing an explosion. But Gohan teleports behind the Cell Junior, carrying Krillin.
Gohan: Dumb move.
He teleports in front of Piccolo and puts Krillin on the ground. He then kicks the Cell Junior, making it explode. Two more Cell Juniors charged at Gohan, who threw the bag up in the air and beats them up, making one of them explode. He grabs the bag falling from the air.
Cell: I ain't no helicopter papa. Sink or swim, kid!
Gohan charges up energy and fires Gekiretsu Madan at three more Cell Juniors, making them explode. He fires two more Gekiretsu Madan at two Cell Juniors, making them lose their wings, and making one of them explode. He appears behind one of them.
Gohan: You forgot your water wings.
He uppercuts the Cell Junior in half, making it explode. He caught up to two more Cell Juniors and attacks them. He kicks one of them in half and punched another one's head off, making them both explode. He then looks at the last Cell Junior, who tried to fly away, but he caught up to it and kicks it around, making it explode. He then stomps on it's remaining arm, crumbling it. He threw the bag to Trunks.
Gohan: Try to forget you're half-Vegeta and don't screw it up.
Trunks took out what looks like green beans and gave them to everyone.
Sora: Alright! Now, I feel good as new.
Plucky: Those magic beans really do help.
Gohan walks towards Cell.
Cell: Look at you! I'm gonna call you "Whooping Cough," because you devastated my children. And for a second there, I thought that yarn you were spinning was going to turn up short. But here you are! My final challen-
Before He could finish the sentence, Gohan punched him in the stomach, making him groan in pain.
Gohan: Careful, Cell. Your Vegeta is showing.
He then uppercuts Cell, making him fall back. He struggles to get back up.
Cell: You know, you're not wrong.
He fell back.
Cell: Hoo-boy. Nothing like a concussion to really get the blood flowing.
He coughs out green blood.
Gohan: Cell...You don't get it. I hate this. The vibrations through my fist on contact. The taste of blood in my mouth. The sound of my heart in my ears. I hate it. I always have. But right now...in this moment...The only thing I hate more than it...is you.
Cell: Put that on a Valentine.
He charges up energy.
Gohan: Because you were right about me. I was a coward...Scared of what would happen if I snapped...Afraid that...if I lost it this time...I'd never come back...That I'd finally...kill someone. But I'm not scared anymore, Cell.
Cell: Well, glad I could-
Gohan kicks Cell across the battlefield.
Gohan: Because there's no point in being afraid of the inevitable.
Cell barely got up.
Cell: Enough of this!
He flew up really high in the sky and was about to prepare a Super Kamehameha.
Cell: I could've just done this from the beginning! Instead, I thought I'd have some fun, throw a tournament, but you just have to ruin my plan! KA...ME...HA...ME...HA!
He fires a Super Kamehameha at Gohan, who was standing there.
Gohan: Ka...me...ha...me...HA!
He fires a Standing Kamehameha at Cell. The resulting energy beam creates a dust storm, which covers everything. Cell got caught in the blast. The blast flew into space. After the blast left the planet, everyone got out of the sand.
Plucky: Anyone got sand in their-
Everyone: YES!
Sora: Guys? I don't think it's over yet.
Everyone looks up to see Cell still floating in the air, but missing an arm and legs.
Cell: Hey, kid! You missed a spot!
Goku: Alright, Gohan! Think it's time you brought her home!
Gohan: Hold on! I'm not done ripping the wings off this butterfly.
Piccolo: Red Flag!
Goku: Kiddo? I understand you're angry, but-
Gohan: But what? You're gonna give me advice now? Let me guess...I should let him go, so he can be an even better fight later! Or maybe I should let him power up to 100%, so I can teach him humility! Wait! I know...I should throw him a Senzu Bean and let you fight him!
Goku: Ahh...I see what you're getting at, Gohan.
Gohan: Then shut up and put on your poncho. You're in the splash zone.
Suddenly, Cell regenerates his body. He grew a new arm and legs.
Cell: Alright, Cell. We saw what losing your cool got you, so tone down the Frieza and chill the hell-
Gohan: Done getting yourself together up there? Because I'm starting to get bored.
Cell lands on the ground really hard.
Cell: What did you just say, you hapless little brat?
Gohan: I said I'm bored. You're boring me.
Cell slams the ground, but Gohan dodged and kicks Cell in the stomach. Suddenly, Cell threw up a woman with blonde hair, wearing a white shirt with a black vest, and blue jeans.
Krillin: ANDROID 18!
He was about to move forward, but Piccolo holds him back.
Piccolo: Later!
Krillin: But my babe!
Piccolo: I will get a hose!
Suddenly, Cell starts to transform. His face changes from white to green, has an orange stomach, and orange tail. He has reverted to Semi-Perfect Cell. Gohan proceeds to kick Cell in the face, sending him flying into a cliff.
Goku: GOHAN! DO IT NOW! END THIS!
Gohan: Fine! If you want him to die so bad, do it yourself.
He starts walking towards Cell.
Cell: Kill me? No! I can't die like this! He's a middle-schooler throwing a tantrum! And I am the perfect being! I was...and he took it away...He took it away from me! So I'll take everything away from him!
He starts to enlarge his body, making himself bigger and fatter.
Gohan: So, what was the plan here? Become so grotesque, I wouldn't wanna touch you? Because I'll be honest, it's working.
Cell: Oh, my dear boy. I think I finally realized what I inherited from you. It was your explosive temper. You see, in a few minutes from now, I'm going to burst...and take you and this whole wretched world with me!
Gohan got in his fighting stances.
Gohan: So what you're saying is I have a few minutes to kill you.
Cell: Ah ah ah! Any attack could set me off! A punch, a kick, a wafer-thin mint! So, how about you savor the time you have left, before I go pop? Hope you enjoyed the Cell Games! Bye everybody! Go to hell!
Gohan went down to his knees in defeat.
Gohan: I did exactly what my dad and Vegeta do...I can't believe I've played around with him!
He starts slamming his fist into the ground. Cell laughs maniacally.
Plucky: We better stop him!
Sora: We can't! If we do anything, he'll blow up the planet!
Plucky: So, what are we gonna do? Are we gonna die?
Goku looks back at everyone and smiles.
Dizzy: Goku?
Goku: Well...I guess I should go clean up my mess, huh?
Piccolo: Goku?
Goku puts his two fingers over his forehead.
Goku: All of you...take it easy.
Sora: Goku, are you-
Goku uses Instant Transmission to teleport away from everyone.
Sora: GOKU!
Goku appears in front of Gohan and Cell. He puts his hand on Cell.
Goku: Hey, son.
Gohan: Dad? What are you-
Goku: I'm sorry...fighting is...Well, it makes me happy...and I just thought it would make you happy, too. I want you to know...that time we spent in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber...was the best year of my life. Take care of your mom.
Gohan: Hold on! Are you-
Goku: I'm proud of you, Gohan. Bye, son.
He teleports away with Cell. Gohan stood up.
Gohan: NOOOOOOOOOO!
Tears started to form out of Gohan's eyes and went down to his knees again. Sora walks up to Gohan and puts his hand on his back.
Gohan: STUPID, SELFISH, IMPULSIVE HYPOCRITE! You had one job! Get angry and kill Cell!
Sora: Hey now, Gohan...
Gohan: But no! You just took a page from Vegeta! YOU WROTE A SEQUEL TO HIS STUPID BOOK!
Sora: Gohan, listen to me.
Gohan: Chapter 1: Kill your own dad!
Sora: GOHAN!
He slaps Gohan across the face. Gohan looks up to him.
Sora: We have the Dragon Balls. They can bring anyone back from the dead, right?
Gohan: Yes. I mean, I still screwed up, though...
Sora: And now, you're one of us.
Krillin picks up Android 18.
Krillin: Well, guess this gives a new meaning to picking up chicks.
He walks back to the gang.
Vegeta: What are you doing with her?
Krillin: I'm taking her to Bulma.
Vegeta: You put that real doll down this instant!
Krillin: Yeah, how about no?
Vegeta: I can rip you in half!
Krillin: I know you can!
Vegeta: When did you have the guts?
Krillin: If I said it didn't have anything to do with holding a beautiful woman in my arms, I'd be a liar.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind starts blowing, making everyone turn to the dust cloud. They then hear a singing voice.
?: "P" is for "Priceless," the look upon your faces..."E" is for "Extinction," all your puny races..."R" for "Revolution," which has been televised..."F" is for how f***** you are...Now, allow me to reprise...
Suddenly, a Death Beam came out of the dust cloud and shot Trunks in the chest. He fell to the ground. Cell came out of the dust cloud.
Cell: Aww, man! That was meant for Plucky! That's my B! It's just so hard to identify your power levels anymore! You're all so weak!
Cell is back to his Perfect Form, except that he's much shinier and has electric sparks all over his body.
Dizzy: OH NO! CELL BACK!
Cell: Thanks, Dizzy. But I see those shocked expressions of yours. Brains wracking over how I'm back, better than ever. And it all lies within my body. A nucleus ever so small, but frighteningly powerful. And lucky me, it survived my little kamikaze. Although Goku did not. But the most important part is, my inherited Saiyan biology gave me a boost in my power, returning me not only to my Perfect Form, but a form even greater than before. I...am now...Super Perfect Cell!
Plucky:(Whimpers)If only I knew this nightmare would never end, I would run home to Shirley!
Cell: You better run home, Plucky. Because your world is the next world I plan to destroy!
Plucky:(Whimpers)I was hoping he wouldn't say that.
Gohan starts yelling and charging his powers again.
Gohan: I'm not even mad you're still alive. I got some stuff to work through.
Sora: You'll need my help if you're gonna beat him, Gohan!
Cell: Aww, is the cat in the cradle? Let me put you both in a grave.
Vegeta was looking at Trunks in shock. Trunks coughs out blood. Yamcha ran up to him.
Yamcha: Trunks! Don't worry, buddy! I've been where you are! We're gonna get you a Senzu Bean and-
He noticed that Trunks is dead.
Yamcha: He's dead.
Vegeta stood their for a few seconds, then he finally snaps.
Vegeta: MY BABY BOY!
He became Super Saiyan again and charges at Cell.
Sora: VEGETA, NO!
Vegeta: VEGETA, YES!
He fires a Maximum Flasher at Cell. Cell came out of the dust cloud and flew towards Vegeta.
Cell: Vegeta, no!
He slaps Vegeta down to the ground.
Cell: Goodbye, Vegeta. And when you get to Hell, tell them to make some room.
He charges up his Death Beam, but Gohan flew in front of Vegeta. When the Death Beam hits, it creates an explosion.
Sora: GOHAN!
When the dust dies down, Gohan was protecting Vegeta.
Cell: For Vegeta? Really?
Tien: Yeah! Really?
Piccolo: REALLY?
Gohan barely stood up with his arm bleeding heavily.
Gohan: As...long as I'm still breathing...you won't kill anyone else.
Cell: No prob, I can free up five minutes, or however long it takes to charge this.
He cups his hands together and was about to charge up a Super Kamehameha.
Piccolo: Krillin! Senzu, now!
Krillin: We're out of Senzu Beans!
Piccolo: WHAT?
Sora: Then let me, Plucky, and Dizzy handle this!
Plucky & Dizzy: Right!
Sora, Plucky, and Dizzy merged to become Master Form again. He is carrying the Guardian Soul and Digital Champion Keyblades. He charges against Cell with his Keyblades, slashing him, doing some huge damage to Cell, making him cancel his Super Kamehameha.
Cell: How come you're so powerful, Keyblade Master?
Sora: Because as long as I have the power of friendship, I can overcome anything.
Cell: That's just cheesy talk! I'll show you what real power is!
Cell charges up and attacks Sora. He delivers punches and kicks at Sora, doing some damage to him. He fires multiple Death Beams, but Sora dodged all of them. Sora fires multiple Fira, Blizzara, and Thundara spells at Cell, doing alot of damage to him. He then use Spin Attack, doing major damage to Cell. Cell was panting heavily.
Sora: Give it up, Cell! You know you can't win!
Cell: No...I will...not lose...to a meddling...key brat!
He uses Solar Flare to create a blinding flash of light, making everyone cover their eyes. When the flash dies down, everyone can see Cell charging up a Super Kamehameha.
Cell: I want you to know this blast isn't meant for you, Sora. It goes out to the entire world! My swan song to this planet!
He charges up a more powerful version of the Super Kamehameha called the Solar Kamehameha. It has the power to destroy an entire solar system.
Gohan: Vegeta, you brain-dead idiot! Trunks could have been brought back, no problem! But no, you picked now to be a parent? Well, look at me, I'm no better! Could've just let you bite it! Now, I'm monoplegic and Cell is going to kill us all!
Vegeta: I'm...sorry...
Krillin: Well, if this is it then...
He looks down to Android 18.
Krillin: I love you.
Yamcha: Hey, Tien...Since this is probably the end-
Tien: If you're about to say I love you, I swear-
Yamcha: Actually, I was gonna say you're my best friend.
Tien: Oh, so are you, man.
Cell: Honestly, Sora. The maraschino cherry on top of all this, besides rending you from existence, is that I am not burdened by the evolutionary failure of aging, I will live forever! Free to roam the stars! Gonna have to think of a hobby, though. I'm thinking craft brewing.
Gohan walks up to Sora.
Gohan: So, this is how we die. I'm down and arm and be killed by an android. Why does this feel oddly familiar?
Sora: GOHAN! Snap out of it!
He slaps Gohan across the face again.
Sora: Your father wouldn't sit there and take it, and neither should you! You wanna do right like Goku? Then don't let that monster scare you!
Cell: He's right, brat! It's just like you told me: "There's no point in being afraid of the inevitable."
Gohan: Yeah. I guess you're right.
He charges up his energy and the Super Kamehameha with one arm.
Piccolo: He's gonna fire the Kamehameha with one arm?
Cell: Magnificent! One last stand against me! A climactic showdown! Give me what your daddy couldn't, before I send ya home to him!
Both Cell and Gohan fired their Kamehameha at each other.
Krillin: Grab your bodies and move!
Krillin flew away with Android 18 in his arms and Yamcha and Tien are carrying Trunks's body, as they flew away. Piccolo looks at Gohan.
Piccolo: Kill him, runt!
He flew away with everyone else. The two Kamehameha collided with each other, creating a massive explosion, and making the whole world shake. Everyone else are at a good distance from the attacks. They saw the two Kamehameha still in a beam struggle.
Krillin: It's a real good thing beams don't just explode on impact with each other.
The two beams are still in a beam struggle.
Cell: Tell me when that arm starts feeling numb, brat! Then I'll start trying! Worst case scenario, you die and get stronger! IT DID WONDERS FOR ME!
He charges more energy in his Solar Kamehameha, pushing it against Gohan's Super Kamehameha.
Gohan: Is it too much to ask that you just shut up and fight?
Cell: What's that brat? I can't hear you! Try sign language!
Gohan: NO! My legs feel like they're about to give out, I can't feel my arm, and nobody's shutting up!
Suddenly, someone is speaking to Gohan telepathically.
?: Don't give up, Gohan!
Gohan: Dad?
Goku: Hey, son! Sorry it took me so long to call.
Gohan: Dad, I...I don't think I can do this! He's so much stronger, and it's all my fault! It was my cowardice...then my hubris...and now, my weakness! We're all gonna-
Goku: Gohan...I wanna tell you, that if you don't do this...
Goku spiritually appears next to Gohan.
Goku: Piccolo is gonna die. Your mom's gonna die. Sora, Plucky, and Dizzy are gonna die. Everyone's gonna die. But before all that, if you don't do this, you're gonna die. And you're better than that! You're better than him! You're better than me!
Gohan finally gains the confidence to fight back. He pushed his Father-Son Kamehameha against Cell's Solar Kamehameha. Sora helps Gohan keep a steady arm.
Goku: See? I'm not even close to that strong! You're more than just my son! You are Son Gohan! Now, plant your feet...grit your teeth...AND EAT THAT HORSE!
Gohan pushed his Father-Son Kamehameha even further.
Cell: So, what's this, brat? Your second wind or your dying gasp? Either way, it doesn't matter. Behold the power...OF TWO HANDS!
He pushed his Solar Kamehameha against Gohan's Father-Son Kamehameha.
Sora: Gohan!
Cell: Take solace, Gohan! Though you have fought alone, you will not die alone! That is my last gift to you! A PERFECT DEATH!
Suddenly, a Big Bang Attack hits Cell from behind. Cell looks behind him and saw Vegeta.
Cell: Vegeta!
Goku: DO IT NOW!
Gohan fires his Father-Son Kamehameha at full force. Vegeta manages to fly away in time.
Cell: OH NO!
The Father-Son Kamehameha completely engulfs Cell, obliterating his entire body and even his heart. The Kamehameha flew into space. Gohan pants heavily.
Gohan: Horse...eaten!
He reverts back to his normal form and fell to the ground. Sora also reverts back to his normal form.
Piccolo: Cell is dead!
Yamcha: Nobody's gonna hold it against me if I start crying, are they?
Tien: Better now than five minutes ago.
Krillin walks up to Gohan.
Krillin: So, buddy. You beat your first bad guy. How's it feel?
Gohan: If anybody's there, my autonomic nervous system shut down all non-critical bodily functions. I cannot, move, hear, or see. On a related note, I really need to use the bathroom.
Sora: I can fix you up.
He uses Cura to heal Gohan. Gohan stood back up. Suddenly, Dende and Mr. Popo flew down to the ground and walks up to the group.
Mr. Popo: Did you catch the thief?
Gohan: Yeah. But he was being used by Cell.
Sora looks back at Android 16's remains.
Sora: I just can't figure out why Android 16 would go around, stealing Dragon Balls for Cell.
Dende: Android 16?
Gohan: Dr. Briefs has been working on repairing him.
Mr. Popo walks up to the remains.
Mr. Popo: So, Dr. Brief has been repairing him. I see...He is always tinkering with things.
Dende: Now listen, Gohan. I'd like to thank you, and while being Guardian of this world something only I can do, I can give you an idea of what it's like.
Gohan: Dende!
Dende looks to the remains.
Dende: Yes. All that poor android wanted was a heart.
Long story short, everyone flew up to the Lookout, Dende uses the Dragon Balls to summon Shenron the eternal dragon, our heroes used the first wish to revive everyone killed by Cell and the androids, Trunks was revived, but not Goku, Goku told everyone that he does not wish to be revived, so they used the last wish to remove the bombs out of Androids 17 and 18, Shenron grants the wish, and the Dragon Balls flew all over the world. Sora, Plucky, and Dizzy returns to West City and told Dr. Briefs about what happened to Android 16.
Dr. Briefs: Interesting. So, the android wasn't stolen after all. It ran away on it's own.
Sora: Dende thinks maybe he left, because he was trying to find a heart.
Plucky nods in agreement.
Bulma: That's quite possible. Unlike Androids 17 and 18, it wasn't equipped with a heart.
Bulma and Dr. Briefs walks back to Capsule Corp.
Sora: But if he wanted a heart, why would he work with Cell to steal the Dragon Balls?
Videl: Maybe because...the android wanted to wish for a heart.
Sora stood to think about it.
Sora: Hmm...when you put it that way, I feel sorta bad for him.
Suddenly, Gohan and the rest of the gang returns.
Gohan: Guys, we have some bad news.
Plucky: What? Cell is still alive?
Trunks: No. Mr. Satan is taking all the credit for what we have done.
Videl: Oh, that's very typical of my dad.
Gohan: I don't get it. Why would he take all the credit for himself?
Sora: Well, it doesn't matter, as long as the world is safe.
Videl: That's not the only thing, Sora. What really counts, what's really special, is to wish deep in your heart to make someone else happy.
Gohan: Right...of course. Thank you, Videl. You're absolutely right. Wait! What's this? I feel so strange...So very happy.
Dizzy: That must be Videl's present to Gohan.
Gohan: Really? This wonderful feeling?
He walks over to Videl and grabs her hands with his.
Gohan: Oh, Videl. You've given me the nicest present in the world. And I've nothing to give you in return. What would you like? Just name it. Absolutely anything.
Videl: The nicest present I could ever ask for is to be with you, Gohan.
Sora, Plucky, and Dizzy giggles.
Gohan: You don't even have to ask for that.
Gohan and Videl starts dancing.
Sora: Maybe I never gave her a real present after all.
Plucky: Who?
Dizzy puts his hands on Sora's shoulder.
Dizzy: Dizzy bet the Kairi would like anything that Sora gave her.
Sora: I know. That's what made it so hard to decide.
Plucky: It's not the gift, it's what's in your heart.
Sora: My heart...
Plucky: You bet! Kairi's like Videl!
Sora: How?
Dizzy: Well, as long as Kairi can be with Sora, what else does Kairi need?
Sora looks at Gohan and Videl dancing, then imagines himself and Kairi dancing. He giggles and looks up in the sky. Before he leaves the Dragon Ball World, Gohan gave him a Keychain called the Four Star. He puts it on and the Keyblade looks like Shenron. Sora, Plucky, and Dizzy said good-bye to Gohan and the gang and returns to the Gummi Ship. On the computer monitor is a white castle floating above a city.
Sweetie: What's that? That big...thing?
Sneezer: Maybe that's the source of the weird reading we've picked up before.
Sweetie: And there's something funny about Disney Town. I'm seeing two of em!
Sneezer: Look! It's another huge energy reading! And it's coming from someplace near the town!
Sweetie: I dunno what's going on, fellas. But it sure looks like there's some big trouble brewing around Disney Town.
Sora: So, what do we do now?
Sweetie: Well, we can either go back to Disney Town, or we can go back to the Grass Continent.
Sora: Let's go back to the Grass Continent. I wonder how Cyndaquil, Chikorita, and Totodile are doing.
Sneezer: Yes, sir! Returning to the Grass Continent!
The Gummi Ship left the Dragon Ball World and departs for the Grass Continent.
That's it for chapter 39. Most of the dialogue from the Cell fight is once again from TFS DBZ Abridged. Next time, Sora will return to the Grass Continent.
