Chapter 20: Going Beyond
The widow-peak haired Vegeta stared at the green man/insect in front of him with a smirk of superiority. The so-powerful android was not even worth his time now that he had ascended beyond the level of a normal Super Saiyan. This would be all to easy.
"Vegeta" Cell said, surprised by the sudden appearance of the blue-dressed and white-armored fighter.
"Wow Cell, you look different. Something on your hair?" The Prince smirked and taunted at the same time. Cell' surprise was quickly replaced with a grin of confidence. Both opponents floated down to a nearby island.
"Don't try to stand against me Vegeta. I no longer fear you. Because I have become the strongest being in the hole universe!" The ascended insect-like bio-android talked.
"Is that so?" The flame-haired Saiyan smirked "Then tell me why your power remains just as weak as before, when I first met you?" Before Cell could retort, another gushing noise arrived behind the Saiyan prince. Trunks was at sight, also dressed in a Saiyan armor, with his long hair tied in a pony tail.
"Two Saiyans for the price of one. My lucky day" The ascended reptile smirked, simply judging he was more powerful than the Saiyan duet of Father-Son. How mistaken he was.
"Don't worry, he is only here to enjoy the beating show I'll perform" The Saiyan warrior said folding his arms to his sides, his black eyes determined "Now, get ready to suffer at the hands of a true Saiyan warrior!" The prince kept taunting. His golden aura suddenly bursted from his body transforming him into the mighty Super Saiyan, his hair golden eyes green and bulked muscles. But still, Vegeta unleashed more of his ki powers, his aura increasing its jagged appearance. The ground beneath him started to float in giant rocks that disappeared by the energy unleashed. The entire sky got clouded with dark storms, thunders echoing in the distance. A few lightnings escaped from the warrior's aura, as he grunted in exertion and pushed his powers beyond.
"Unbelievable! Vegeta's power is increasing!" Piccolo said from atop the Lookout. Tien and Yamcha were next to him, their mouths hanging on the ground. They just couldn't fathom so much power. It was going higher than Cell's.
With a mighty golden flash, the Super Saiyan ascended past his previous limitations. Now his muscles bulked and his hair stood a bit sharply upwards. Veins pocked his skin by the new strength running through his bulging body. The green bio-android opened his eyes in confusion, not understanding the sudden power-up Vegeta did. This was never calculated by Gero before. The Saiyan opened his eyes, showing they were greener and with malice.
"Get ready to face Super Vegeta!" The Prince's comment was backed up with a mighty earth-shattering fist to the guts that doubled the android in pain, blood spitting from his mouth. Cell recoiled back in agony, his inside wounded for the first time since his first ascension. Vegeta, however, didn't stop his obvious advantage, running at dazzling speeds towards his enemy, jumping and hitting with a mighty knee blow to the nose. Keeping his momentum, the ascended Saiyan somersaulted over the taller Android, landing a sense-shaking kick to the back of the head, the sheer force cracking rocks around them. Cell was sent careening away, the parts of his body impacted now purple-bruised in color. The Android halted his flight, now on the other side of the island. But the bulky prince was already on top of him, landing a descendant elbow to the green horned head. Cell's eyes bulged out of their sockets by the sudden superhuman pressure. The semi-perfect Android fastly countered by firing his stinger-edge tail towards Vegeta. Yet the Saiyan simply grabbed hold of it and with an over-head movement, the stronger fighter lashed/whipped the android right hard into the brown ground, cracking the island with a massive crater that blasted boulders aside and generated powerful wind gusts.
Cell rose from the ground, scratched all over his green body. He was seething in anger and confusion. He aimed strong punches into the Prince's face, but he only met himself avoided from every angle and receiving even stronger blows over his green body. Cell tried to fire an energy sphere, but it was easily swatted aside and countered with a front kick to the sternum, sending the android away and air-less. Super Vegeta was only a second away behind his enemy, only for the next second to be on his path, backflipping. The Prince's foot connected with Cell' shoulder-blades, his body impacting the soft island soil again with murderous strength that cause tremors over the area. Sea waves run wild over the ocean' surface.
The green android stood up again, cleaning some blood from his mouth and rubbing some of his wounded parts. Having piccolo's regeneration helped, but only up to a certain point.
"How did you increase your power so much?" The android blatantly asked to Vegeta. The Super Saiyan smirked in confidence, some lightnings escaping from his body.
"Push ups, food, and plenty of orange juice. All the proteins a warrior needs" The Saiyan Prince taunted sarcastically with a grin "Not that you know what being a warrior is. You only absorb others because you are simply weak on your own"
"Shut up!" The android bellowed, a golden aura around him blasting rocks and pebbles away with mighty wind guts. The android cupped his hands right, purple energy forming "Galick Gun fire!" The attack enveloped Super Vegeta in full, the concentrated power capable of blasting more than one planet to dust.
But as the light dimmed, Vegeta was still standing, a yellow dome of ki around him that protected from the intense yet useless blast. In fact, Vegeta wasted no energy in protecting himself.
"Fool, for someone who has my cells, you have no idea how to use my powers" The prince said in disappointment, his shield disappearing. He cupped his own hands right and grinned "This is how it's properly done" The purple energy appeared, mixed with blue energy too "Galick Gun fire!" The attack did what Cell's blast couldn't but amplified many times over. Cell had no chance of eluding it. The attack hit the monster dead on with the focused power to blast almost anything to dust. The blast disappeared in the highest parts of the atmosphere, leaving nothing but half of an island behind. Cell, however, was out of sight. Vegeta's aura bursted as he shot down into the sea water to find him, while Trunks remained airborne and looking. A few seconds later, the bulky Saiyan reappeared in the surface, carrying half of an android. Cell's left side was completely gone, blood dripping from his open wounds.
"Well, would you look at you Cell? So much perfection was just babbling apparently" The prince taunted to the Android's remains. This wasn't even worth his time. One more blast and everything would be over.
Trunks had looked at the super-fast struggle with no effort. His own power increment allowed him to catch every movement performed by both fighters at near light speed.
"Our training in the Time Chamber really paid off. Father has the complete advantage against Cell" The boy from the future thought to himself, as his father pummeled Cell down to a pulp with little to no problem. Trunks' senses though, catched something moving up from behind him. The half alien spun around to see a blue figure moving towards them. It was 13.
Super 13 flew into scene, watching Vegeta suddenly powering up and beating a green guy. The blue-skinned machine was actually surprised by the power unleashed by the new Saiyan. A gush of wind ran in front of him, as Trunks had seen his enemy arriving into the battlefield. The long lavender-haired boy stared stoic at his enemy, ready to fight him and end the nightmare. If Cell managed to defeat Vegeta, which was unlikely but still possible, then Trunks was going to make sure 13 was out of commission, and in turn, the bio-android would never achieve his ultimate form.
"Oh, hi kid. Long time no seen" The blue android asked mocking the half Saiyan from the future "What happened with your sword? Not working anymore?" The question had double meaning, though Trunks remained stoic and cold serious. Without moving, The half Saiyan transformed into Super Saiyan and kept powering up, his muscles increasing their size. A few lightnings escaped from his now bigger aura, the water moving beneath him.
"So you and your dad have been doing some push ups lately uh?" The bulky 13 taunted the teenager from the future, folding his arms over his chest, while the teenager powered up in golden colors.
"You have no idea monster. I won't allow you or any other Android to plague chaos in the world!" Trunks said angry, his muscles amazingly bulking at least twice the size of Vegeta's. In fact, his powers kept increasing even higher than the Prince, with lightnings of power firing off his furious golden aurora. He at first thought his father would be pissed about him being stronger. But to Trunks that tought left the morality train long ago. Protecting the world was far more important that having to keep his father's pride intact.
"Well, well, what do we have here? Guess you know more about power than your own father" 13 complemented with sarcasm. The storm clouds gathered around the sky, as the father-son power-up had caused massive disturbances in the planet's normal climate patterns.
"Amazing" Piccolo said from the edge of the Lookout "Trunks' power is going higher than Vegeta's. The training in the Time Chamber must have really paid off" The Namekian said serious, turning his eyes into the main building. If Trunks and Vegeta obtained such a power-up, then Goku and Gohan were going to become unbeatable.
Both white-haired Super Saiyans Gohan and Goku were now inside a white building, staring at the place in surprise. Well, Gohan was. Goku still remembered his old-time in the place when he was fifteen. It had been comparable to Hell or worse. The main building had a slightly increased gravity than that of Earth, but the fighters paid no heed, as they were accustomed to higher pressures.
"Wow, this place is amazing" The golden/white-haired Gohan said looking around. Goku placed a hand on his shoulder.
"For now son. We'll be here an entire year and with each day it only gets harder to bare" The also Supressed Super Saiyan informed his son "Go outside and see why I could only hold for a month inside this place when I was a child" Gohan walked to the outside, marveled by the sight. The place was fully white and extended far into the horizon. In fact, it looked as big as Earth, if not bigger.
"It's enormous. I see what you mean dad" Gohan turned his head around and looked at his father "Alone in the middle of nowhere, it can drive anyone crazy"
"Hopefully with two people here, that won't happen to any of us" Goku smiled, before his green eyes went serious "Now Gohan, I must warn you, this is no simple training. The temperature increases and decreases in less than a second. The gravity is ten times that of Earth, but it gets higher the further you get from the center. Always remember where the center is, because it's our only way out"
"Got it" The supressed Saiyan said, making a mental picture of the place. Not that it was hard to forget. Both power-supressed Saiyans walked into the main area, the gravity hitting them. But they were not affected at all. Not only they had trained for three years with a thousand times gravity, but they were also Super Saiyans. Ten times gravity was child's play at the moment.
"Listen up son. We must do something first before moving onto our serious training" The golden-haired full-blooded Saiyan said leading the training.
"Okay, what is it?" The transformed hybrid asked eager to get stronger and help his friends. Goku's hands shone yellow, as he materialised a giant pair of metallic pliers. The half Saiyan widen his eyes in confusion.
"This might hurt a bit" Goku said pitifully, while Gohan swallowed hard inside his throat. That didn't sound good at all.
Trunks shot forward, his golden-charged punch driving hard into a mighty Moon-shaterring left hook that shook 13's mechanical senses, causing the android to recoil backwards for a few miles through the air. Trunks pressed forward with an overhead strike that sent the Android flying down from the sky. Yet the machine regained his balance and rubbed his chin just above the sea surface, feeling that he was now a bit dented. Still the blue android smirked by the challenge in front of him.
Trunks came from above 13 with his hands ready for an axe strike. Yet the machine moved faster and away, the bulky Saiyan still firing his attack towards the after image. The blow passed the faked Android and hit the water surface, sending a giant wave of motion towards the rest of the ocean. Yet Trunks wasted no time to turn his face around attempting to find his enemy. His reflexes, however, didn't work when a sharp left hook impacted his face, followed by a right fist to the other side of the face, a short uppercut to the guts that bent Trunks over, and an axe strike to the back that sent the bulky Saiyan down into the ocean's murky depths.
13 grinned in triumph, when a yellow light lighted up the water. Too late did he recognised the Burning Attack, when the giant sphere sent him careening up into the air for a few miles, parts of his blue skin scorching. The blue Android yelled in power, creating an energy shield that reduced the Burning Attack down to harmless sparkles. Yet by that time, Trunks had already accelerated from beneath the depths towards him, pounding the Android in the face with a mighty punch that wrecked the mechanical senses. Yet 13 had already recovered from the attack enough to avoid another fist by side-stepping it to the left and landing a sharp elbow to the temple. Trunks was momentary stunned, but he fastly swatted his right arm towards the enemy next to him. The uncoördinated yet powerful attack hit the Android on the back, sending him away for a few feet. That brought the half Saiyan enough time to recoordinate and counter again. Trunks started to attack again, but this time the blue-skinned machine dodged each and every strike with geometrical precision.
Trunks fired an uppercut to the chin, but the Android grinned and slightly moved backwards, avoiding the slow attack. The Saiyan kept his upwards momentum and backflipped, his foot aiming also for the face. But again the Red Ribbon Android flew backwards, again avoiding Trunks's turtle-speed attacks. The bulky Saiyan panted a bit, while his enemy remained in one piece and surprisingly smiling. The Saiyan paid no heed and unleashed more power, his muscles bulking up a bit more. The half Saiyan kept attacking, his enemy only grinning in victory.
Super Vegeta drifted his eyes from his bleeding half enemy into his son, his head shooking. That foolish boy, thinking he actually could win by simply powering-up. It was amazing that being his son, the kid was still amateur when it came to fighting. The Prince returned his eyes into his beaten enemy.
"Come on Cell. I know you are still alive" The Prince said, feeling the android still had a lot of ki left. Cell's body suddenly started convulsing, his injured parts shaking. Vegeta could see something was off.
With a disgusting noise the injured parts were suddenly regrown just the way they were before the attack. The Saiyan could only look in surprise as he had never expected that ability from Cell. Much less he didn't expect Cell to shot both of his hands forward, grabbing hold of Vegeta's neck, like trying to choke him. The gems in his hands were shinning bright.
"You are right Vegeta. I'm still alive. Sadly for you, in a few moments you will be nothing but an empty husk. With your energy inside me, my perfect form will reach a height of power never seen before!" The android grinned in triumph, his body ready to start the absorbing process. He had first thought of convincing Vegeta of helping him find Android 18 but it was obvious the prince wasn't so naïve to actually fall for that.
But the Prince was not ready to be energy-leached by a coward reptile machine. Vegeta shot both of his hands forward horizontally, right in the middle of Cell's chest. Too late did the bio-android felt panic.
"Final Flash!" The prince enchanted, a yellow beam of outstanding power blasting all over the place. However, Vegeta had not fully focused the ki power inside like he normally did and so the devastating effects of the blast were worse, as the remains of the island were instantly atomised, along with Cell and Vegeta, who were now out of sight in a blinding light of whiteness. Had Vegeta put more unconcentrated power, the Earth would be gone. The shock waves reached the furthest parts of the green planet.
An island nearby trembled with the power, the rippling power effect unleashed shaking the body of the blonde woman. She was still unconscious by Cell's hit, so she never registered what was happening around her.
Trunks stopped his mighty punch delivery and stared at the white devastation. He suddenly couldn't feel his father's presence anymore.
"Father!" The bulky half alien yelled, trying to fly away. Yet 13 intercepted the Saiyan with faster speed, knocking him away with a sense-shaking punch to the face.
"No, no boy. You are fighting here, and from here, you are not leaving" The android commented with a grin. Trunks clutched his teeth, his aura getting bigger. More lightnings escaped and his muscles kept pumping. But as much ki Trunks poured to the outside, it wasn't doing any good thing on his favor. The Saiyan kept attacking, but his blows were matched with equal strength but faster speed. The half Saiyan felt his body getting sloppy and dumber, his punches and kicks becoming much more predictable for his machine enemy.
"I don't get it" The Saiyan yelled, clutching his hands "My power has increased but I cannot even land a punch on him. What's going on?"
"Seriously kid? You haven't figure it out yet?" Super 13 said with his gruff voice, folding his arms on his chest "All that you do is unleash your energy and pump up your muscles. You obtain strength, sure, but your speed only goes downhill from there"
"But you did the same thing when you absorbed the other Androids" Trunks replied confused.
"Kid, I'm a machine, I was designed to be that way. My body was perfectly created to have both speed and strength" The Android explained "You, however, are made of simple flesh and bone. Material things that have limits. Adding extra mass of muscles but without increasing your original physical volume only leads to your current pitiful situation" Both fighters stared into each other.
"And that's not even the worst part" The Android kept talking, explaining the situation for the amateur fighter with evil glee "By using that kind of transformation, all your energy reserves are max out. If my calcules are right, you only have a few minutes before your body cancels the transformation and goes back to your original self" The blonde Super Saiyan looked at his hands. Had he been that blind? It explained how his father had suddenly stopped gaining power when they were training. He shook his head.
"If that's the case then I will make sure to take you down before that happens!" Trunks blurted out, his aura increasing in power again, lightnings firing off.
"Fine by me, boy" The Android smirked, thrusting both of his hands forward. Red energy appeared on them, shifting into a giant red sphere of twenty feet wide. The Super Saiyan knew that technique very well "Deadly Bomber!"
Trunks rose his arms into the sky, gathering his own ki energy. Orange ki flowed into a smaller but also powerful energy ball "Finish Buster!"
The two giant spheres clashed in mid-air, sending devastating shock waves to the nearby area. The sea parted in half by the sheer unnatural force of nature, the continent a few miles away shaking to the core. Both combatants were sent backwards by the raw ki strength.
The green bio-android came out of the water, his body regenerated but with much less power now. It was a miracle that saved him from Vegeta. But he couldn't wait and find out if Vegeta was still alive. In truth, he didn't care about the prince. But if by some miracle Vegeta also survived and Cell managed to achieve his perfect form, then Cell would gladly pay the bastard prince back for all that he did.
That until a figure took his senses over. 18 was in front of him, completely knock-out on the still-standing island floor. Cell took a few minutes before realising his luck. He walked, slow but determined towards his prey, unconscious like a present. His tail elongated, swallowing the blonde woman with the stingered edge. The Android could only smirk in triumph, when his powers started going through the roof and even more. Around him, the clouds gathered on top of him, lightnings firing away.
From the Lookout, things could only get speculated. And not in the good way.
"Cell's power... is increasing" Tien said shuddering, the tiling beneath them breaking a bit even when the power source was miles away.
"His power... is monstrous" Yamcha said in fear. Piccolo remained silent, clutching his hands in anger. If he had done something before, they wouldn't be in their current situation. He now doubted Vegeta and Trunks together could do something.
The Saiyan prince was floating on the sea surface, now back to normal black-haired self. His blue clothes were a bit burn, and his face was framed with scratches. He looked like sleeping or unconscious. Yet the sudden power burst from afar brought him back to consciousness. He floated up and felt Cell's power increasing, a large green dome of ki covering an entire island a few yards away. The prince transformed into regular Super Saiyan and flew straight towards the dome. But he only clashed against him, which only pushed him back. The Saiyan attacked the dome but it didn't bulge against the Saiyan attacks.
As the light finally disappeared, Cell was standing with a new body. He had lost a bit of height and bulk, but it was replaced with more human-like appearance and outstanding powers. The Prince sweated a bit, feeling that indeed the Android had become stronger. Still, been the Saiyan he was, Vegeta was not going to compliment his enemy any time soon.
"So this is your so-called Perfect form uh?" The Super Saiyan said with arms folded on his chest "Just a simple shorter size, no big deal about that" Yet Cell was paying no attention to Vegeta, who was getting very irate by that. Cell was simply there, staring at his new mighty hands with a stoic expression.
"Hey, I'm talking to you!" The blonde fighter yelled, an angry vein pulsating on his forehead.
"Oh, Did you say something Vegeta?" The Android turned his head, now his voice sounding with a softer tone. Yet that voice still carried the essence of strength and cockiness "I was just complimenting my new strength" Vegeta had enough and pushed his powers into the Ascended Super Saiyan, his muscles again bulking. He shot forward ready to finally put Cell back in the place he deserved: dead on Vegeta's feet.
Yet a simple but light-speed fast backhand sent Vegeta careening backwards against a rock formation that crumbled on top of him. The Android smiled by his improved strength. This would be much to easy. Vegeta was going to lose and Cell was only holding back. The Super Saiyan came outside the rubble, angry written over his face. The Super Saiyan shot forward with a charged Earth-shattering punch, that hit only the after-image, the real Cell suddenly in front of the prince smirking with malice. Vegeta recoiled in surprise by the swift movement.
"Surprised Vegeta?" The new android taunted a bit "I'm as surprised as you. I never expected that my powers could reach such an incredible level with only two Androids" A split of a second later, Cell was next to Vegeta, his arms folded. It took the Saiyan a few seconds to found his enemy, who was standing right next to him. The Saiyan jumped back a few yards to get some ground between himself and the creäture.
But as soon as Vegeta landed, Cell had already been waiting in front of him, smirking with his new more-human face. Vegeta could only slant his head backwards in fear, after been taken by surprise all the times. How could that guy be so powerful and also quick on his feet?
"Now, where were we?" The new green and black machine asked, stretching his arms "Oh yes, I was using you as my punching bag to test my new powers" The Saiyan Prince couldn't reply by the ironic comment, because a deadly punch hit him square in the guts, the Saiyan armor cracking. Vegeta spat blood from his mouth with his organs blasted to smithereens by the planet-breaking power.
"How about this Vegeta? I'll give you ten seconds heads-up so you can escape. Then I will kill you" The Perfect Android suggested with sadism on his voice.
"Why don't you shovel your pity down your..." Vegeta retorted insulting but a mind-shaking punch to the face silenced him. Cell grabbed the Saiyan from his blonde widow peak of hair, bringing his bleeding and broken face upwards.
"You should be more respectful to your superior Vegeta. Specially the one that can do this" Cell commented with evil happiness, his free hand's index finger shinning purple "You remember the infamous Death Beam? Quite hard to forget when it can do this!" The attack was the last thing Vegeta remembered before fading into blackness.
"This isn't good" The Namekian commented from the Lookout "If we don't do something both Vegeta and Trunks will die"
"But what?" Tien asked in despair. He never liked to be on the sidelines and wait for death "Our powers just can't measure up against someone like Cell"
The black-spotted green skinned android left the Saiyan Prince on the soft soil, his short body holed many times over with gaping injures like a cheese. He was alive, though hanging onto what little energy he still had.
"Apparently you were stronger than I first thought Vegeta" Cell briefly complemented "If you survive then come and meet me again. We may still be able to play a bit longer" The Android turned his eyes away, his golden aura bursting with his full perfect power. The planet shuddered in fear. He was already perfection and now he would be even more perfect.
The half Saiyan Trunks was floating on the sea surface, the waves moving his knocked-out body. That until 13 lifted him by his long lavender hair. The android had his body black-scorched in many parts, but otherwise still very functional.
"Nice try kid. But not enough" The blue-skinned machine said with a grin. Suddenly Trunks yelled, his ruse paying off. His muscles bulked up again, encompassing the surprised Android in a front bear hug that had the strength to crack asteroids.
"Fool what are you trying to do?" The android yelled. The Saiyan was squashing a bit more than he first thought possible. The bulky transformation really increased his strength.
"I may not be fast, but I am surely stronger than you" The bulky Saiyan said with a smirk and voice of pride "Strong enough to squish you until you are nothing but useless cables!" 13 grunted, feeling his mechanical body straining under a greater pressure.
Trunks was suddenly kicked away in the face back into the blue water. The red-haired machine spun around and saw his, apparent savior, for lack of better word. He stood almost as tall as him, with green and black skin and insect-like wings. He looked bugish and reptilian. But there was something familiar about him. He looked like the guy Vegeta was ass-kicking easily. Not that 13 knew him in the first place.
"And who the Hell are you suppose to be?" The Super Android yelled. He suddenly stopped talking, when the new intruder has his right hand embed into the blue-skinned Android's chest. The blue-skinned being would have screamed in pain, had shock not taken over.
"Your future" Cell whispered into the Android's ears, his embed hand pulling something out. Cell's free hand shone purple and blasted the machine body into dust in the wind. With a smirk plastered on his human-like face, the green bio machine looked at his hand. There was a red sphere, barely five inches in diameter. It was humming with dark red energy. This was what he wanted. The Super Android power core, the combined powers of Androids 13, 14 and 15.
The perfect bio-android cupped between the gems of his hands the red-shinning power core, absorbing it for himself. The android grinned in triumph, arcs of red lightning circulating around his arms up to his body. The green skin started to expand with new rippling muscles, the green and black-dotted reptile skin becoming dark blue in color. His pink eyes shifted into nothing but red shinning orbs of malice, losing the pupils, leaving the ruby-colored sclera alone.
As Cell finished his transformation, he was now half a foot taller, and had new strength he couldn't even imagine. Just a simple blast could destroy Earth many times over, even holding back.
Trunks stared in disbelief at the new towering enemy, still soaking wet. It stood even bulkier than his own muscled Super Saiyan but also taller. The half Saiyan grunted, powering up to his bulky form again. However, the punch he aimed to the face was easily catched, countered by an even stronger but lazy backhand. Trunks felt his body going numb by the applied onslaught on him with minimal effort. He felt his head ringing like a bell, his brain still racking mad.
Trunks shot both of his hands up again charging energy with everything he had to finish everything "Finish Buster!"
The attack hit the monster dead on, the energies creating shock waves around the world. The sea water shook with giant water waves that could turn into tsunamis. The half Saiyan panted, after exerting himself to the breaking point. But with the smoke cleared, Cell was still alive. Not a burn or blemish stood on his Super perfect body.
Trunks panted, his body going back to normal without energy left. He just wasted everything he had. He was defeated.
"Giving up already?" The new blue android said rhetorically, not surprised with his voice still sounding as before. Even holding back, his powers were just marvelous. He could blast the green planet without even having to consider it a warm up. Killing the half Saiyan from another future would also be far too easy in his weaken condition.
"I can't win, so there's no point in hiding it" The boy from the future said, his head hunched. The Android pondered the options in his mind. Killing the child would not satisfy him up to that extent. But there was something else bothering him in the back of his mind.
"Tell me, why hasn't Goku bother to show up?" The new blue Android asked "I don't think he is simply afraid of me"
"He isn't!" Trunks yelled back "Goku is training to become stronger and defeat you!"
"Is that so?" Cell asked, a bit curious by the prospect of having a decent fight before spreading destruction over the entire universe. He folded his arms on his chest "Then let me tell you what we shall do next. Tell Goku and your friends that they have ten days to get ready. If you actually prove to be a worthy match by that time, then your deaths along with the destruction of this planet will be painless"
"What are you talking about?" The half Saiyan asked, not understanding the 'plan', so to speak.
"Just wait for my call" The blue bio machine smirked "Oh by the way, if I were you, I would give Vegeta a Senzu Bean before he bleeds to death" The Android grinned in malice. Trunks, feeling his dad's energies going down, started flying into him. But the blue android appeared in front of him, his fist a blur hitting with a piercing gut fist that appeared right on Trunks' back, covered in blood.
"But...you said" The deadly wounded half Saiyan started talking, feeling his body going number than before.
"I said that I would help Vegeta if I were you. But good thing I'm me, don't you think?" The Androids said sarcastically, suddenly giving a full-blown evil laughter, flying away at light speed into the horizon. The lavender-haired alien cupped his wound, trying to hold onto dear life.
"Cell is moving away" Tien said, feeling the even-stronger enemy disappearing. Thins were going from bad to worse.
"Bulma, hand me the Beans quickly!" The green Namek yelled at the scientist, knowing they didn't have that much time left. The scientist woman threw the brown package into Piccolo, who fastly caught it and teleported away.
Gohan rubbed his rear in pain, after going through the worst suffering ever experienced in his life. Yet it had all worked out fine.
"So Gohan. Do you feel different?" Goku asked, also rubbing his rear. Though it had pained, his powers had increased a bit like he had first expected.
"Actually, I do" The half alien replied. Though he was still suppressing his powers, he had suddenly received an extra energy that he never knew he had. Or maybe hedid have it, but he was just unable to grab hold of it.
"Alright son. Now that we took care of that, it's time we start training" Goku said, flying away followed by Gohan. Both of them directed themselves into the furthest parts of the area, with new golden fur belts around their waists.
Notes from Chapter 20:
In my opinion, the further one gets from the Time Chamber's center, the gravity increases. Also the main central building has gravity of 1.5 that of Earth.
Just to clarify, Vegeta's Final Flash at point-blank, though not concentrated, it still blasted Cell to pieces (However, he survived and regenerated out of camera view)
Cell's Super Perfect Form only changed his cannon Perfect in the fact of his skin, muscles and eyes (Not counting his power increase).
Cell is a bit more sadistic than his cannon one.
The power increase of the tail is something I didn't determine yet. For now, it provides with random multipliers so don't complain.
Power Levels:
Goku:
Supressed Super Saiyan: 3 millions
Supressed Super Saiyan (extra power by tail): 6 millions
Gohan:
Supressed Super Saiyan: 5 millions
Supressed Super Saiyan (extra power by tail): 10 millions
Vegeta:
Base form: 340 millions
Super Saiyan: 17 billions
Ascended Super Saiyan: 25.5 billions
Trunks:
Base form: 335 millions
Super Saiyan: 16.75 billions
Ascended Super Saiyan: 25.125 billions
Ultra Super Saiyan: 30.15 billions
Super 13: 30 billions
Cell:
Semi-perfect form: 20 billions
Perfect form (Holding back): 30 billions
Perfect Form full power: 35 billions
Super Perfect form (Holding back): 35 billions
Cell has finally ascended to his Super Perfect form. Now, it's up to Earth heroes to become strong enough to defeat him.
