Cell, was a happy man.
Correction.
He was an extremely happy man.
His little 'project' as he called it was finally being wrapped up. And boy, was it amazing.
The green bug man had been sitting in the same, meditative position for over a month now, locked dead center of the gravity chamber with the setting turned as high as his body could withstand in it's Perfect state. He called this extreme meditation, as it was not only meditation, but also extreme.
BUT ALAS! This was not his project. No. Not even close.
Cell's closed eyes shot open, as lightning shot across his face, creating a very cinematically pleasing scene. The large specimen stood up, his armored shell creaking from being immobilized for so long without the proper stretching. He then gave his body what it desired and limbered up with a few runners stretches, before warming up with a quick session of shadow boxing.
Once he was all caught up, the bug man settled into the customary horse stance. He was completely relaxed, and once again, absolutely still. He remained in this state of serenity for quite some time, over 30 minutes actually.
Suddenly, he tensed up, muscles bulging, eyes widening, and a small battle cry escaping from his mouth as his power skyrocketed. He entered his Final Form, taking on a striking resemblance to one of his donors, the ever so kind Frieza.
But Cell didn't stop there. To get this to work, he had to be at his absolute maximum. He pushed even harder, hunching over as his aura turned a bloody red. Veins made themselves known as they popped out all over his body like worms.
"KAIOKEN TIMES 7!" He screamed, activating the Kaioken as high as he could genetically go. He had never received the proper training by King Kai, so he couldn't access the abilities full potential like Gohan could. While Gohan never used it, instead preferring his other power up methods like the partial Oozaru, Super Saiyan, Ascended Saiyan, or his Aura Spark (which was really him dipping into his unreleased hidden potential), that were more natural, he had gotten his Kaioken maximum up to around 60 in his base form, although that was a stupid idea and he was out of commission for a good amount of time.
Cell wanted that. Cell wanted another natural transformation. And he was going to get it no matter what.
"KAIOKEN TIMES 14!" Cell doubled his Kaioken output, pushing his body to the absolute limit, and beyond. He surprisingly help the powerup for longer than he thought was possible. Then he felt it. His DNA was giving away to the power. His cells were actually rupturing and imploding themselves because of the amount of power he was wielding. It infuriated him. Could he not surpass his limit? He had spent all this time doing nothing but improving and training for this moment, but now that he was here, he just couldn't do it.
He was perfect, why, why was he failing. He was made up of all of the greatest fighters in the galaxy, no, the Universe. So why was he so restricted? Just the thought of it furthered his anger. Until he isolated it down to one point. The human in him.
It made so much sense. The human fighters had never been able to keep up with the Saiyans, Arcosians, Androids, Namekians or any other enemy they faced. They were always outmatched. So what could he do to overcome this barrier.
"Well, you know what they say. If you can't get around something, remove it." Cell, still holding onto his power, dove into himself mentally and spiritually. He quickly found his genetic information, and isolated all human codons, genes, chromosomes, you name it. Then, he systematically seperated all of it.
Cell dropped his transformations, and fell to his knees almost immediately, clutching his head. His eyes were now wider than they had ever been, threatening to pop out of his head. The pain was unbearable. He released a guttural scream as his body began to alter. The separation started at his head. Another being seemed to grow out of him. At first it was just the indentation of a face coming out. A nose here, an ear over there, but they would quickly bubble back down before resurfacing again, almost like an angry liquid.
The horrific separation of a single being into two can now only be described as pulling a marshmallow apart. But when the last few cells of them were finally apart, is when the real change occured. The new 'human' Cell that had been removed was currently unconscious on the ground of the gravity chamber. He was identical in appearance to Cell's Perfect form, however, he was as weak as Krillin while on planet Namek before Guru unlocked his potential. The other Cell however, that was a different story.
While he maintained the same power as before in his current form. He felt something beyond. Very much beyond. Cell once again, settled into his horse stance, and let his power flow, immediately this time.
He quickly, and effortlessly, to through his Final Form. Surprised at how easily it was accomplished, he pushed forward, foregoing the Kaioken completely. Cell easily could feel the barrier that signaled a transformation and smiled. He gathered his power and smashed through the figurative wall like it was breakaway glass. He was overwhelmed with new sensations as his body was rushed with power. And was it power like never before. Not only was his power multiplied by millions, yes millions of times, but it also felt like something… Divine.
His body exploded in a golden light and he was done. He felt…
Perfect.
