A flash of light and a grunt of pain.
That was the only real warning anybody got as Mirai Trunks got shot through the chest with a Dodon Ray and was sent flying back before landing with a sickening thud. And from the looks of fear on everybody's faces and the power level they're sensing, they have no doubts that the cause was by one person and one person alone.
"So, who did I hit?" asked a certain voice. "Ah… Trunks."
Emerging from the cloud of dust with an aura reminiscent of Ange's own in her Super Saiyan 2 state was none other than Cell. Once again in his perfect form! But how!? He doesn't have Android #18 assimilated with him anymore!
"Guys… Cell's back!" exclaimed Yamcha.
"Thanks, Yamcha. And judging by those fearful looks on your faces, I'd say you're all wondering how I could possibly be back and better than before. Well, the secret to that lies within my body." Cell said, pointing to his head as he began to explain. "A nucleus ever so small yet frighteningly powerful! And lucky for 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!"
Cell's smirk seemed to grow as he placed his index and middle fingers to his forehead in a gesture that was eerily similar to both Piccolo's Makankosappo, but also…
"I even learned Instant Transmission thanks to Goku and his soft heart. And with this surprising twist in this climactic battle... I… AM NOW…!"
"PERFECT-ER CELL!" Yamcha shouted.
And that's when Cell could tolerate Yamcha's title as 'Captain Obvious' no more.
"Okay. Yamcha, accurate, but tone it down."
The Z-Fighters could only look on in shock and horror as they realized that things just got a lot harder for them all then it already was. And with their main heavy hitter, Goku, being dead due to using Instant Transmission to teleport Cell away from the planet, and Ange as heavily damaged as she is, their chances of winning have been shot down to nearly nothing!
"Hey, Ange. You think if you punch him in the gut again he'll barf out #17?" Krillin asked, desperate for a miracle. "If that happens, it might revert him back to his semi-perfect state again…"
But Ange was having none of it. She roared and called upon her maximum power, her light blue Super Saiyan hair turning a yellow-green color as she ascended to Super Saiyan 2. And her electrical golden aura appeared once again. The former prisoner of Arzenal smirked as she glared at the insect.
"I'm not even mad that you're still alive. I've got some shit to work out." she growled dangerously.
"Aw, is the cat in the cradle?" Cell asked, mocking the Saiyan. "Here, let me put you in a grave."
Vegeta could only look on and glare as he growled in anger. While he was actually quite proud of his adopted daughter for achieving such a level of strength before Kakkarot's son ever could, he felt so angered and useless when compared to Ange and Cell. But that's when he heard the sound of someone dying. And that someone… was his own son from the future.
"H-Help… Help me… S… Someone… Please…!" Mirai Trunks wheezed before coughing up a huge glob of blood.
Vegeta started a small series of shallow gasps as he witnessed his son's death right before his eyes. And even though this isn't his son from this timeline, he's still Vegeta's own flesh and blood.
"Trunks! Don't worry, buddy! I've been where you are! We're gonna get you a Senzu Bean, and-" Yamcha ran over to Trunks and quickly checked the young adult's pulse, only to find out… "He's dead… He's dead. Been there too, I guess. Although, honestly, the afterlife part isn't too bad. The whole dying part of it is… haunting… Everything just kinda slows down and you feel yourself slip the mortal coil… to this day, I still wonder if I've ever been brought back or if i'm still in the process of dying, you know?"
"Oh my God, someone finally put it into words!" exclaimed Krillin.
And he has a right to say that. He's died literally more times than anyone else in the Z-Fighters! Barring Tien, Chaozu, and now Goku! But their words were doing nothing for Vegeta and his levels of rage and sanity. As his fists clenched so hard that he might be drawing blood underneath his gloves. The Saiyan Prince growled as he has finally come to terms with something.
One of his own offspring is dead. And he didn't do anything to prevent it. Looking back now, Vegeta was reminded of all the instances where he was such a horrible father. Nearly letting his mate and infant son die at the hands of Gero/ Android #20… seeing his future son as nothing but a disappointment because he's more human than Saiyan… Even ignoring the warnings his future son gave him about letting Cell reach his perfect form.
"Is it any easier the second time?" Yamcha asked his short friend.
"Believe it or not, it's worse!" Krillin replied.
Vegeta's anger kept boiling up until finally, he snapped and lost his head. Kind of like Gohan during the fight against himself and Nappa. Or his fight with Frieza.
"MY BABY BOY!" wailed Vegeta, mourning the loss of his son's future self.
All traces of rational thought fled the Saiyan as he charged at Cell with reckless abandon, going Super Saiyan as he did. Ange's eyes widened as she watched her adoptive father rush to what just might be his demise.
"Vegeta, NO!" exclaimed Ange.
"VEGETA… YESSSSSSS!" roared Vegeta.
Summoning every bit of strength that he had left, the Saiyan Prince shot his arm forward and fired a full power energy wave at the Bio-Android. This forced Cell to brace himself as the beam struck home and caused a huge explosion that shook the earth and kicked up a huge cloud of dust and debris. After a few seconds of waiting, Vegeta was taken by surprise as Cell leapt out of the dust cloud with his arm poised to strike.
"Vegeta, no." quipped Cell.
The Bio-Android struck the Saiyan with a sideways karate chop that sent him spiraling to the ground, skidding to a halt and groaning in pain. Cell locked on to his current target, not really caring about the order of which he killed his enemies this time. Just so long as they died.
"Goodbye, Vegeta. And when you get to Hell," Cell scowled as he readied a Ki blast in his fingertips. "Tell them to make some room."
With a flick of his arm, Cell shot a blast of energy at the downed Saiyan. Ange gasped in surprise, knowing full well that Vegeta couldn't survive an attack of that magnitude without dodging. So she did the only thing that she could think of at the time. She rushed in and tried to block the blast. But just as it was about to hit home, someone else blocked much of the attack.
The impact of the small and yet very powerful energy blast was enough to cause a large explosion and kick up more than enough dust to block Ange and Vegeta from view. Much to the concern of Gohan.
"AAAANGE!" he screamed in worry.
When the dust cleared, Cell and everyone else was expecting to find the remains of the two Saiyans. But what they saw instead was someone that Ange never thought she'd see again. Especially not after what happened on what was supposed to be the day of her baptism.
Her younger sister Sylvia was standing right in front of Ange and Vegeta with her arms outstretched and her legs shaky due to her forcing herself to stand even though she shouldn't be able to. But part of that blast still managed to deal a great deal of damage to Ange. As proven by the copious amounts of blood running down her right arm.
"Sylvia…? Why are you…? HOW are you…!?"
"A...Angelise… run!" Sylvia gasped.
The young girl's legs finally gave out due to the damage she took and she ended up falling flat on her face as Ange struggled to get up and help her sister.
"SYLVIA!" she screamed.
Much to Cell's amusement. How he loves torturing these weaklings he calls his opponents. Especially those wretched Saiyan monkeys that inhabit this planet.
'Hm. Must be the Frieza in me.' Cell idly thought to himself.
Ange finally managed to get up and turn Sylvia over so she could cradle the younger blonde in her good arm. She didn't understand! Don't all humans who use Mana hate Normas? Why would her younger sister, someone who is clearly a Mana user, possibly take a hit that would have ended her life like this? It just doesn't make any sense to her!
"Why, Sylvia!? That blast was meant for me!" Ange demanded to know.
But Sylvia just weakly opened her eyes and gazed up at her sister. Her eyes didn't convey the hatred and fury towards Norma that most humans from their world had. These reflected nothing more than sisterly love, and regret for her actions. She reached up to cup Ange's face with one of her hands, tears beginning to fall from her eyes as she said four words that told the Saiyan all she needed to know.
"Big sis… I'm... sorry…" wheezed Sylvia.
With a final gasp, Sylvia's hand dropped to the ground and her eyes closed for the final time in her life. Ange couldn't believe this. Not only did Sylvia… no… her little sister… give her life to save her and Vegeta. But she also apologized for her previous actions. With a heavy heart and her eyes full of unshed tears, Ange laid her sister down and got to her feet as she turned to glare at Cell with every bit of hatred she could muster.
"You've just made a BIG mistake!" she growled with a sneer. "Now, Super Perfect Cell…"
"Mm! Love the ring to that!" sighed Cell, even though he could hear the malice in the girl's words.
And, bonus: it sounds even better than something like Perfect-er Cell. Yamcha really needs to use his imagination more often, because that last name was stupid.
"... I'm going to take my time ripping you to shreds before I stomp that nucleus of yours to dust!" growled Ange.
Cell didn't lose his smirk. He just floated back down to the ground as he stared condescendingly at the former Norma before him.
"No prob. I can free up five minutes. Or however long it takes to charge this!" Cell quipped.
He took his arms and slowly placed them together in a very familiar posture. One that had Ange recoil in fear. Everyone who's seen Goku fight knows that technique and how it works, and with one arm, her non-dominant one at that, she can't possibly hope to counter it!
"KRILLIN! SENZU! NOW!" shouted Piccolo.
"Uh, you know we only had eight beans, right?" Krillin asked, though it sounded like a statement.
"And?" Piccolo asked back, not seeing the point.
"And how many people are here?"
Piccolo's eyes widened as he finally realized what the monk was getting at.
"...So we're out..."
"WE'RE OUT OF SENZU BEANS!" Krillin all but shrieked.
SERIOUSLY, THEY'RE OUT OF SENZU BEANS!? OF ALL THE TIMES FOR THAT TO HAPPEN!
"I want you to know, Ange, that this blast isn't just intended for you." Cell mocked as he pulled his arms back into the second stance of the Kamehameha wave. "It goes out to the entire world! My swan song to this planet!"
His Aura and power increased in size and height as Cell began to power up his attack. In any other situation, our heroine would probably be panicking and begging for her life. At least in the past. But now that she's a battle hardened warrior, she's developed a very short temper. And so she proceeded to figuratively rip her adoptive father a new one.
"Vegeta, you braindead idiot! Trunks could have been brought back with the Dragon Balls no problem, but no, you pick NOW to be a parent!? Oh. Well, look at me. I'm no better. Could've just let you bite it! Now my sister's dead, I'm monoplegic and Cell's gonna kill us all!"
The Saiyan Prince and adoptive father of Ange could only look up at the young woman he accepted into his family and knew this to be true. In his rage, he couldn't think straight and his instincts told him to destroy the very thing that killed his offspring. No matter how much a Saiyan suppresses these instincts, their parental feelings will come about full force should any fatal harm come upon their child. And Vegeta, despite how much of an ass he acts like, is no exception.
But knowing that such a thing is not a good enough excuse, he said the two words that truly conveyed how much of shell of his former self he really was.
"I'm… sorry."
Looking at Vegeta with wide, teal eyes, Ange could tell that Vegeta would never say such a thing unless he truly meant it. And since he felt as though it's his fault the world may be ending, she realized only one possible outcome of this unfortunate turn of events.
"Oh wow, we ARE fucked!"
"Well, if this is it, then… I love you." Krillin said to the unconscious Android #18.
"Hey, Tien. Since this is the end…" Yamcha started to say.
"If you're about to say 'I love you', I swear to god…" Tien snarled.
"Actually… I was about to say that you're the biggest asshole I know." Yamcha stated.
"Oh." Tien said with wide eyes.
Now the literally three-eyed man felt embarrassed. But hey, how could he not assume that that's what Yamcha was gonna say after what Krillin said to the female cyborg held in his arms. Especially since it really does seem like the world is ending.
"You're also my best friend." Yamcha added.
"So are you, man." Tien said in response.
The bromance here is so real, am I right.
"Honestly, Ange, the maraschino cherry on top of all of this, besides rending you from existence, is that because I am not burdened by the evolutionary failure of aging, I will live forever! Free to roam the stars!" Cell blustered at the injured female Saiyan before changing his attitude slightly. "Gonna have to pick up a hobby, though... I'm thinking craft brewing..."
But Ange couldn't care less about what the bio-android was saying. She just continued to allow herself to be consumed by the guilt she was feeling because of her ineptitude and inability to stop Cell when she could have. And because of that, Goku was dead and so was her little sister.
"So, this is how I die. Down an arm and killed by an android." Ange said. "Honestly, it's better than having wasted my life killing off dragons just to fuel my world with more stolen Mana and giving more power to that bastard false deity, Embryo."
She's not ignorant to what's been happening in her world. While spending that time relaxing from her intense training alongside Goku and Gohan, once she got out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber of course, she had requested for King Kai to check up on her former home dimension and see what was going on.
What she learned made her even happier that she'd been freed from Arzenal before it could happen to her. And while she would like to eventually go back to pay her respects to her mother, she knows she can't without being hunted down like a dog. Her brother, Julio, no doubt still has it out for her and wants her dead so he can be the sole heir of the house of Misurugi.
Oh well. After everything she's seen since that so-called 'baptism', it's not like she cares anymore. He can just HAVE the throne for all she cares.
"ANGE!" Gohan yelled, snapping the girl out of her thoughts. "Snap out of it! My Dad and even Vegeta wouldn't stand there and take it, and neither should you!"
"...Gohan…!" Ange said barely above a whisper.
"You want to do right by your mother and your sister, both of whom sacrificed themselves for you, THEN DON'T LET THAT BASTARD SCARE YOU!" Gohan yelled, trying to encourage Ange to keep fighting.
"He's right, girl. After all, it's like you told me: 'there's no point in being afraid of the inevitable.'." Cell mocked, quoting Ange's earlier line.
Hearing all of these words helped reignite the fires of the warrior that burned anew in Ange's heart as she turned to glare at Cell. Feeling her pride as a Saiyan kick in, refusing to let herself be defeated by what is basically the equivalent of a giant stink bug, she allowed her tail to hang freely instead of keeping it wrapped around her waist like she's been doing.
"Yeah. ...I guess you're right."
Ange began to power up as a yellow-green aura begins to flare off of her body like a raging flame, catching Cell's attention. To his knowledge, this girl is still very weak from the previous battles and all of the damage she took prior to that. What could she be planning. Without a word, Ange brought her left arm back and adjusted her footing as she began to growl in a manner similar to Vegeta when he powered up his Final Flash.
But unlike the golden yellow energy that was used in the Final Flash, the energy building in the palm of Ange's hand was a deep royal blue color that was much darker than the Kamehameha. But Piccolo himself couldn't believe what she was attempting.
"With one arm!?" he gasped.
"In a moment, Cell… All you'll be feeling… Is OBLIVION…!" Ange snarled with every last bit of hatred she could muster.
But Cell wasn't paying attention to that, even though that line his opponent used sounded strangely familiar. He was actually quite excited for what was to come.
"MAGNIFICENT! One last stand against me! A climactic showdown!" exclaimed Cell.
"Final…" Ange began to intone, her voice taking on a slight echo.
"Give me what Gohan's daddy couldn't, before I send you home to your own dead parents!" Cell exclaimed before launching his attack. "KA - MEEE - HAAA - MEEE… HAAAAAAA!"
"...SHIIIIIIINE!" screamed Ange as she launched her newly created Final Shine attack.
Light blue raced towards royal blue as the two beams were about to collide with each other in a burst of energy so great, it could possibly destroy the planet from the impact force alone. And Krillin immediately took notice.
"Quick! Grab Trunks and let's get outta here!"
He immediately flew off to what might be a safe distance with Android #18 still in his arms while Yamcha and Tien gathered up the dead body of Mirai Trunks before taking off after him with Piccolo hot on their heels. But Gohan lingered for a moment as he watched this Saiyan female do the one thing he knew he couldn't willingly do.
Put aside his pacifistic nature and just fight. Even if it means dying to save everyone you love.
"...Ange… Beat him to within an inch of his life… AND HANG HIM UP BY HIS ENTRAILS!" Gohan shouted in rage as he finally flew off after the other.
Vegeta grunted as he too got up and got ready to fly away. But not before picking up Sylvia's dead body. Knowing Ange, she'll want her sister to remain intact so she can either be revived with the Dragon Balls, or at the very least, given a proper burial.
The two beam attacks finally collided and began to try and overwhelm the other with an obvious stalemate being seen. But as Ange struggled to keep Cell's Kamehameha at bay, the bio-android was just chuckling manically as he was putting in no effort at all. But it was his prey's struggles that would make the kill all the sweeter. And all over the world, both this one and the one Ange was from, somehow everyone was seeing what was happening without the TVs or a news crew.
Ange's Former Homeworld
"Isn't that the exiled princes!?" gasped an elderly Norma woman.
"She's fighting that monstrosity and holding her own!?" one of the royal guards gasped.
And from the throne room, Julio was throwing a bit of a tantrum. In his mind, Angelise was supposed to have been imprisoned in Arzenal and made to kill those pesky dragons, thus keeping the imprisoned Goddess of the Dragons producing Mana for the humans so they could keep the Norma enslaved. And Embryo would continue to rule the planet like a God.
"NOOO! IMPOSSIBLE! SHE'S RUINING EVERYTHING!" he shouted in rage.
Earth (Universe 7)
"Oh my god, look at that!" gasped a teenage girl.
"That girl's actually fighting Cell!?" a police officer exclaimed in shock.
"What happened to Hercule!?" demanded a fanboy.
"Who cares!? I just want Cell to lose!" exclaimed a former wrestler. "TEAR HIM UP, GIRL! YEAH!"
Back at the Battlefield
All of the remaining Z-Fighters finally got to some crags a safe distance away from the blast zone. They turned to watch and gritted their teeth in fear and anticipation, knowing full well that the fate of the whole universe now rests in Ange's hands.
Piccolo may have looked calm on the outside, but on the inside, he was unsure whether Ange could continue to hold her own against Cell. If only they hadn't run out of Senzu Beans when they did! Then maybe they could have at least restored Ange's energy levels to maximum.
"Tell me when that arm starts feeling numb, you stupid monkey! Then I'll start trying!" mocked Cell, seeing his opponent winded. "Worst case scenario - you die and get stronger! It did WONDERS FOR ME!"
Cell put more power into his blast, and slowly but surely, he began to push Ange's attack back. The weakened Saiyan just couldn't keep up her power as she could feel her life energy slowly being sapped away from using this technique at this level of power for so long.
Is this how Goku felt after using the Kaio-Ken at four times his limit when he first fought Vegeta? If it is, then she owes the guy one heck of an apology.
"Is it too much to ask that you just shut up and fight!?" grunted Ange as she struggled to keep Cell's attack at bay.
"What's that, monkey? I can't hear you. Try sign language." Cell mocked even further.
Back with the others, Krillin was desperate to find a way to help Ange win. There are millions of lives at stake here!
"Are we sure we don't have any more Senzu Beans at all?" he asked.
"We used them all up!" Yamcha replied.
"Then I guess the way things are now, this all comes down to Ange's will to live and her own power." Piccolo said in a resigned tone of voice.
Ange herself sank to one knee as she felt Cell's attack overpowering hers even further. Her arm actually felt like it was going to blow up from the strain of using her incomplete attack for this long. Especially in her severely weakened state.
'Damn it! My legs feel like they're about to give out, I can't feel my arm anymore, and nobody's SHUTTING THE HELL UP!' she complained in her mind.
Completely unaware that she had a visitor.
*Oh! Sorry, I-I'll come back later.*
'GOKU!?' Ange gasped in her mind.
In Otherworld, Goku was floating with King Kai above Snake Way with Ange's mother there with them. The woman felt she needed to speak to her daughter one more time before she could truly move on, and King Yemma allowed it. Besides that, the giant red soul sorter felt as though both of these family members needed closure before it's too late.
"Hey, Ange! Sorry it took us so long to call. King Yemma's line was the worst! I literally thought I'd skipped it and gone straight to Hell!" Goku explained.
"YOU SHOULD GO TO HELL!" yelled King Kai.
*Also, the phone won't stop yelling at me. And there's someone here who wants to talk to you before anything else.*
*Hello, Angelise.* greeted a woman's voice.
A voice Ange knows all too well.
'Mama… is that really you?' she asked through the telepathic link.
*My sweet little girl.* Ange could both hear the sadness in her mother's voice and even see that sad smile on her face. *How I've missed you. I'm so sorry that you had to go through so much suffering just because of what you were. But look at you now: a strong young woman who can protect her home.*
But rather than feeling complimented by her mother's words, Ange clenched her eyes shut as her tears finally began to fall. And with Cell's attack coming ever closer, she knows she's failed.
'Mama, I… I just can't do this! Cell's so much stronger and… and it's all my fault! It was my cowardice, then my hubris, and now my weakness! ...I couldn't even save you on that horrible day! And now, even Sylvia is dead all because of me! So what kind of protector does that make me if I can't even…'
*Angelise. I need to tell you this now.* the young Saiyan's mother said in a tone she only used when she absolutely had to. *If you don't do this, Gohan is going to die! That nice family that adopted you is going to die! Everyone is going to die! But before all that… if you don't do this… YOU'RE going to die! And you're better than that! You're better than HIM! You're better than ME!*
Hearing these words gave Ange the boost in confidence she needed and caused her to draw on even more of her own latent power. This sudden surge forced Cell's attack back into a stalemate, causing the bio-android to stumble slightly as he didn't at all expect this.
"Whoa, Nelly!" exclaimed Cell as he was caught off guard.
*See!? Even Goku is nowhere even CLOSE to being that strong yet! You're more than just my daughter! You are Angelise Karakura Misurugi! And you are the Princess of all Saiyans! Now, do as Goku would say, and plant your feet, grit your teeth, and EAT! THAT! HORSE!*
"GRAAAAAAAAAHHH!" roared Ange with newfound strength.
Pouring even more power into her Final Shine attack, her beam finally started gaining the upper hand against Cell's Kamehameha wave. The bio-android grunted as he was actually pushed back a little bit. But he wasn't finished just yet.
"So what is this, brat? Your second wind, or your dying gasp? Either way, it doesn't matter! Behold the power of TWO HANDS!" exclaimed Cell as he knowingly used an innuendo.
Increasing his power further still, Cell pushed back Ange's Final Shine and caused her to get pushed back a few feet, causing her to leave a couple of grooves in the ground from where her feet were planted. Her mother, Goku, and even Piccolo expressed their worry as they witnessed this, knowing that the Saiyan female wouldn't last much longer at this rate. And seeing his victory so close at hand, Cell took the opportunity to do what villains do best.
Gloating in the form of a short monologue.
"Take solace, Ange, though you have fought alone you will not die alone! That is my last gift to you! A PERFECT DEATH!"
That's when the unexpected happened. A golden blast of energy hit Cell in the back, causing him to lose focus on his attack and the flow of power to it to be disrupted. And the source of this much needed distraction came in the form of Vegeta himself.
"Oh shit!" Cell gasped, knowing he was doomed.
*DO IT NOW!* Ange's mother telepathically yelled.
Ange roared as she poured every last bit of power she had remaining into her attack. The result was her Final Shine completely overwhelming Cell's Kamehameha wave and engulfing the bio-android.
"OH SHIT!" cried Cell as he saw the blast headed straight for him.
As Cell was vaporized by the attack, the people of both worlds, Ange's old one and the Earth of Universe 7, began to hear the music of Ange's heart. And it sounded strangely like the song My Way by Frank Sinatra. Not many people in Ange's birth world know this, but all Norma possess a heart song like the one resonating from Ange's heart. But very rarely do those songs get to play, as the requirements for them to do so are usually never met. And as Ange's heart song resonated, they all saw parts of her life that reflected upon the lyrics. Starting with her time as a princess leading up to what was meant to be her baptism.
~And now the end is near. And so I face, the final curtain. My friend, I'll say it clear. I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.~
The next lyrics showed her brother, Julio, revealing her status as a Norma and her whole kingdom turning against her. Even those she thought were her friends. Along with that was her mother's death and her imprisonment in Arzenal just before she was transported to Universe 7.
~I've lived a life that's full. I've traveled each and every highway. But more, much more than this… I did it my way.~
Next, we see the events that Ange has come to regret in her life, such as her denial of her being a Norma, the death/offlining of Android #16, and even how she had been unable to keep Sylvia from dying. Failing as an older sister to protect her when the young crippled girl had sacrificed her own life to save her. But it also showed some of her happier memories. Such as being adopted by Bulma, Vegeta, and the Briefs family, her training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with Goku, the time she spent with Goku's family, and just meditating (napping) with Piccolo or goofing around with Krillin, Yamcha, and Master Muten Roshi.
She may not like the old man's perverted tendencies, but she admits deep in her heart that he's a great friend and practically the grandfather she never knew.
~Regrets? I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do. And saw it through without exemption. I planned each charted course. Each careful step along the byway. And more, much more than this… I did it my way.~
As the music picked up in power and tempo, the memories of when she got in over her head came to the surface. Her trying and failing to fight off Android #17 when Vegeta was taken down by Android #18, using that roided out form against Cell after he achieved his perfect form, and especially when she failed to destroy Cell when she had the chance and caused Goku to die by using Instant Transmission to teleport Cell away from Earth.
~Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew. When I bit off more than I could chew! But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out!~
The light from her attack grew more intense as Cell's body began to disintegrate, the bio-android releasing a silent scream of unbearable pain as he wondered how he, the 'Perfect Being', was defeated by this filthy, inbred, monkey.
~The record shows, I took the blows…~
~And did it…~
Ange's attack grew even stronger as Cell was on the receiving end of the Final Shine's true power when wielded by the likes of a Super Saiyan 2, while Ange's heart song released the big finish.
~MY… WAY...!~
As the ending music resonated through both worlds, everyone witnessed Cell's destruction at the hands of this female Super Saiyan. Right down to the very nucleus that allows Cell to keep regenerating. As the song ended, her attack flew far out into space where it harmlessly faded out into nothing. But I tell you, if the moon had still been there, her attack would have no doubt split it in half.
Ange struggled to catch her breath as she slowly faded in and out of her Super Saiyan 2 stage. That last attack took all of her remaining energy, and she could barely stay awake. With the last of her strength, these were the final words she said before reverting to her base form and falling unconscious before plummeting to the ground.
"...Horse… eaten…!"
The rest of the Z-Fighters couldn't believe their eyes. It was like some sort of bizarre dream turned reality.
"He's… dead…! Cell is dead!" exclaimed Piccolo.
"Nobody's gonna hold it against me if I start crying, are they?" Yamcha asked with a slight tremble in his voice.
"Better now than five minutes ago." Tien quipped.
And with that, the Z-Fighters flew down to their fallen teammate so they could bring her to Kami's/Dende's Lookout to be healed. And besides that, they still have to wish back to life all those who had been killed by Cell and the Androids.
*To be Adopted…*
