Several hours had passed, no one was sure how many but night had come and gone leaving them in a new day, Gotenks defused and refused several times helping Vegeta fight Cell, Gohans bag of senzu beans had been destroyed. Gotenks was behind Cell and Vegeta was in front both beating down Cell.
"THATS ENOUGH!" Cell shouted grabbing Vegetas neck and using him as a weapon to hit the fused warrior behind him, Cell stabbed Gotenks with his tail and healed himself.
"This is it Vegeta with this boost I've far surpassed you by now, and all you can do is watch as I kill your daughter in front of you. Since you missed the death of your wife I'll reenact it for you." The ground Bulla was standing on went into the air and gently floated to Cell, "No!" Vegeta shouted but his muscles were too worn out from the countless hours of fighting and he had already reverted back to base form. Bulla shook as Cell was coming closer to her too shocked to move, he reached out and wrapped his fingers around her neck slowly squeezing down, she shut her eyes, her last thoughts of Goku.
"Let her go Cell." She opened her eyes at the familiar voice and tears broke through, he was here, her mate had come to save her. Cell looked over his shoulder smiling wickedly, he let Bulla fall to the ground and she rushed over to him throwing her arms around him and he hugged her back, it had been an entire day since she had seen him and it had been an entire year since he had seen her. Vegeta felt confusion anger and disgust all at once as he watched his little princess show his rival this kind of affection. "Kakarot get your fucking hands off my daughter!"
The saiyan in question either didn't hear or didn't care (definitely the latter) because he kept hugging even finishing off the hug with a gentle kiss which really pissed Vegeta off, "KAKAROT! Once I get up I'll send you back to other world." Goku stepped in front of Bulla and stared down Cell, "I won't have you threatening my mate Cell." The whole arena went silent then, except for the sound of Vegeta getting up and flying at Goku desperately trying to punch him.
"I WILL KILL YOU LOW CLASS SCUM!"
Goku moved out of the way of the attacks thrown at him, "hang on Vegeta right now we have a bigger problem in our hands."
"BIGGER PROBLEM? BIGGER PROBLEM! THIS IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM EVER, AS IF I WOULD EVER GIVE YOU MY DAUGHTER!"
"Vegeta seriously we have to defeat Cell and then I promise you can hit me all you want."
"CELL CAN WAIT YOU STUPID BASTARD RIGHT NOW I HAVE TO KILL YOU!" Goku caught Vegetas fists and Bulla came out from behind Goku pleading with him to stop. Cell found this whole exchange hilarious Goku and Vegeta would take each other out at this rate.
Vegeta stopped throwing his heavy arms at Goku and let his arms hang, muttering something about being tired and he would pick up where he left off at a later date. Having that out the way Goku and Cell stared at each other.
Goku charged up and wasted no time going super saiyan blue, and Cell could feel his massive power flowing through the arena. "Finally something worthy of going full power for I was getting worried I wouldn't be able to use the form I worked so hard on." He charged up as well and his dark green skin gained a lighter color along with his flaming aura.
When he was done his skin a shining lime green and his aura was a sharp blue, "let's finish this here and now Cell."
"It seems like you've read my mind Goku." The flew around each other and were neck and neck with speed and power producing shock waves with every connecting strike. "I'm surprised your still alive Goku, hows your heart by the way?"
"That was you, wasn't it Cell? I'm happy to say that I've made a full recovery." Cell looked shocked.
"T-that's impossible! A senzu bean wouldn't be able to heal you from a virus!"
Goku cockily smirked, "it wasn't a senzu bean, Dendes healing powers are much stronger."
"What the hell is a Dende?"
"Pretty much god." Finally landing a punch on Cell taking the advantage and taking him down.
Not wanting to waste time on Cell Goku shouted out the words "kiaoken!" Being engulfed in a spiky red aura on top of his shimmering blue one. His voice was hoarse and sounded a little deeper. "I had a lot of time to practice this one Cell, this is super saiyan blue with the power of kiaoken times 30, you don't stand a chance."
Cell watched Goku wide eyed, "how! How is this possible I am true perfection, I am Perfect Cell!" He roared out loud shaving the arena and making the waves around them become erratic.
Goku let Cell approach him punching him in the gut hard landing several more powerful hits all on his body, sending him flying backwards, he stomping on the ground making one of the tiles raise up catching Cell as he flew back and Goku forced him against it punching him into the black tile. Cell held his arms up trying to stop the onslaught of fists but felt his arms cracking against the megaton of force in the punches.
He lowered the tile and flew backward Goku following him all the way not letting him escape. Cell touched the ground with his hand closing his fist around something as he jumped into the air trying to jump over the red and blue saiyan and he was caught in the air.
Taking off a leg with a weak ki blast showing how much Cell was outclassed at this point. Then Goku backed away from Cell letting the badly beaten bio android fall to the ground. Cell rushed at him in his rage catching the saiyan off guard for a second, quickly recovering he slipped behind Cell and wrapped his arms around the midsection, holding his other arm he hoisted Cell off the ground and German suplexed him shaking the ground with the insane force.
Any mortal would've been turned to dust from that attack, taking this time to back away and catch his breath Goku let his hair fall back into his base form, the kaioken taking its toll on him even after his training. He would only need a moment to regain his breath then he would finish this sadistic game. He didn't expect Cell to quickly whip around Bulla holding her hostage and stabbing into her father taking his energy again.
"No!" Goku and Bulla shouted at the same time. Gohan pulled Vegeta away from Cell detaching the tail giving him his last senzu bean. "I think you've been alive long enough girl." Cell lifted his tail to the girls neck centimeters from stealing her life force when he felt a strange pain in his legs.
He looked down to notice his legs had been torn clean off then he was pulled off Bulla and thrown to the wall actually being thrown through the wall and above the sea that surrounded them. Goku floated out of the Cell sized hole. "I warned you," Goku growled out, "Don't touch my mate!"
Cell watched in horror as Gokus hair changed color from the base to the tip changing a bright white shining elegantly. The area around the saiyan heated up and the water below him started to boil.
Before Cell could blink he was already hitting the bottom of the ocean, his pain receptors took longer to notice what he was feeling with how fast Goku was tearing him apart, if this continued he would definitely die. Goku punched the water in the ocean the sheer power from his fists sent torpedos of momentum flying through the water smacking Cell and cracking his carapace.
Goku grabbed Cell by the foot and spun around throwing him out the water only to catch him with his hand around the neck doing to him exactly what he was doing to Bulla. Cells tail shoot out trying to take Gokus power but his tail was dodged every time. "You're too slow Cell." He spoke and his voice seemed to have a heavenly echo to it. Cell roared and with his mouth open he shot out a beam trying to burn Gokus face, the smoke cleared and Gokus face was unharmed other than a small first degree burn on his cheek the size of a fingernail. Goku let go of his neck and struck him with open palm punches completely destroying the entirety of the androids insides.
He wrapped his fingers around cells neck again knowing he wouldn't struggle anymore and slowly started to turn Cells neck trying to break his neck and then tear it off slowly. Seeing no other options left Cell took his still closed hand holding the senzu bean he picked up and put it in his mouth.
Instantly healing he reached out and grabbed the fighters neck crushing his wind pipe making him cough out in pain. Kicking Goku in the stomach and backing up he flew up in the air. "Give me all of your energy stupid planet." Cell put his hands in the air and a blue ball slowly grew and grew before he threw it and Goku. He put his hands up and pushed the spirt ball back at the android stealing his move.
Gohan flew next to him putting his hands up and holding the ball from crashing into the earth. "I got this dad now go! You're the only one who can stop Cell so do it! He killed her... he killed mom."
Goku shut his eyes as he took in the information. His shiny eyes locked into Cell and his fury wasn't hidden at all, his anger was unbridled teleporting behind Cell and grabbing his foot twirling him around and throwing him in the clouds flying at him he was met with Cells punch but his rage mad him ignore that attack firing a ki blast into Cells chest and making it explode, surging through the smoke his let his fists fly landing strong blows that shook the universe almost tearing a hole in reality itself. King Kai was pleading with him to slow down lest he destroy everything.
Cell swiped at Goku and cut his forehead opening a wound but he didn't care he only cared about destroying the man who murdered Chi Chi and hurt his friends, and he even threatened his mate. The thought of Bulla getting hurt made him give out a deep primal roar as his movement increased tenfold, maneuvering all around Cell and punching holes through him. How dare he, he wanted nothing more than to kill Cell in this moment losing that boyish joyful side of himself and he was now engulfed in hot white rage trying to tear apart Cell with his bare hands.
Grabbing Cells head to hold it in place as he brought his fist back and forth against it faster than light, he felt a sick twisted satisfaction at feeling Cell slipping in and out of consciousness, then he glanced down at Bulla and saw her scared expression, he didn't want to be like this in front of her, this wasn't him and he didn't want her to see him like this. Regaining his composure he pushed Cell away from him ready to end it.
This was the last stand, Cell with his zenkai boost was now as strong as mui they couldn't let Cell heal or grow any stronger or else he would surpass them all.
