Everyone knew right away that they were testing eachother to begin. Cell and Goku seemed to spend most of the time trying to knock eachother out of the ring. Cell landed more blows as they went, as both fighters began putting more into their attacks. Finally, after a long back and forth struggle that made the Z fighters hold their breath several times, Goku and Cell returned to their respective corners. "Well Goku, I think its time we started taking this seriously. Afterall, the people are watching, they expect the greatest show ever!" Gokus face became serious, and his aura began to grow, along with his energy. Nill smiled with anticipation, Goku too trained to master the form of Super Saiyan rather then use Ascended or Ultra. Cells power too increased, but Cells aura didnt seem to change. Their powers continued to rise, until finally both auras disapated. From what Nill could sense, they were about even, but Cell still seemed stronger. Both fighters then charged ahead again, and they disappeared. Nill, Gohan, Vegeta and Trunks were the only ones who could see every move they made. The speed they possesed was incredible. They were exchanging blows so quickly that it was hard to see whos fists were whos. The fight spread far and wide, which annoyed Jimmy Firecrackers camera guy. Soon nothing could be seen or heard but the thunderous blows by each fighter. Nill was suprised that neither fighters power had gone down in the slightest, but through all the tension he couldnt help but crack a smile as Vegeta continued to stand in disbelief at how powerful Goku became. Nill didnt want to say it outloud, but as far as he could tell, Nill was still stronger than Goku and Cell, but something told him that Cell and Goku still werent giving it their all.
It was only after a few more minutes of intense battling that Cell broke away for a moment, then looked down at the ring, then back at Goku. "You know Goku, its so stressful to be confined to this ring. What do you say? Shall I remove it from the battle?" He then gathered energy in his hand, and pointed it at the ring. Nill knew right away that Cells blast was a lot more than powerful enough to destroy the ring. "Everyone! Move away! Hes gonna blow up the ring!" With Nills warning, everyone backed away, just in time to avoid the large blast radius from Cells attack. Goku and Cell floated back down, and continued their battle. Able to move around freely, Cell and Goku began landing stronger blows, knocking each other around. It was after Cell blasted Goku into the air that Goku began to charge up his signature attack. "Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" Cell smiled. "Goku wouldnt fire a Kamehameha wave from there, if he missed he'd destroy the whole world!" Right there, Goku disappeared, and reappeared right in front of Cell. He then threw his cupped hands forward and released the gathered energy. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!" Cell became consumed by the blue energy, and it flew right into space after it did the damage to Cell. When everyone could see, they were ecstatic to see that Cells head, both arms, and his left leg had been destroyed. Nill and Piccolo were the only ones who knew Cell could regenerate, and as they figured, Cells missing body parts sprouted back out. And too their shock, his power took a leap thanks to the Saiyan cells in him. "Well Goku, what do you say we take a quick break? You should go ahead and eat a senzu bean, that way this fight will ocntinue, straight into the history books!" Goku then powered down, and smiled. "Cell, I know how powerful you are, and I know theres no way I can win, so im giving up." Cell laughed again, though it seemed rather angered. "Goku, if theres nobody left to fight me, ill destroy the planet!" Goku stayed calm. "Dont you worry. Just because im giving up doesnt mean the tournaments over. Theres still someone you need to fight, someone stronger than me!" Nill knew then what Goku was going to do. He flew down to Goku and looked him right in the eye. "Goku, I know what you're gonna do. And I can't let you. Gohan cannot beat Cell. I know you have confidence in him, and we all know hes become very powerful. But I know you gave it your all against Cell, and I know im stronger than you, maybe even stronger than Cell. Please let me fight him first, if I can't win ill stand down and let Gohan take over." Goku thought it over, then smiled and nodded. "Alright Nill. I know you want to protect Gohan, and I thank you for that. Ill let you fight Cell first." Nill nodded and thanked Goku, and Goku flew off. Nill turned and faced Cell, an eager expression on his face. Though the fate of earth was in his hands now, he couldnt help but enjoy the thought of a good challenge. "Well Cell. Looks like im your next opponent, lets see how you stand up to rhe strongest Super Saiyan in this tournament! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!" Nills power instantly rose, and it only took him a couple of seconds to reach his maximum. Goku and the others were all amazed. Nills power did indeed exceed Gokus, and from what they could tell right now, exceeded Cells. He then charged forward, and began his assault on the android.
Nill began to slam Cell with hard punches and kicks. Cell could only guard himself as Nill continued his attacks. With each impact, he seemed to gain momentum, and soon Cells defenses were broken. He began sending Cell through rocks, mountains, anything solid that he knew would hurt Cell. But Cell soon struck back. Gathering energy in his palms, he turned his hands into a triangle shape and fired a large blast from his palms. Tien knew that it was his Tri-Beam Cannon that Cell was firing, and the impact sent Nill flying. Before he hit the ground howver, he launched a masenko behing him, which launched him in the other direction. With blinding speed, he continued his crushing melee attacks on Cell. Nill wouldnt let up, as he threw Cell toward his destroyed ring, and fired rapid energy blasts at the android. Cell however put up a barrier, and each blast was deflected in a different direction. Nill smiled, and charged forward. Yelling with intention, he pushed through the barrier and fired one more large blast at Cell, which sent him flying again. He became buried in a pile of rocks, and Nill floated down to the ground, waiting for Cells next move. everyone else meanwhile, were in awe. Goku, Gohan, Vegeta and everyone else. But then, a green flash blew away the rubble, and to everyones shock, Cells power took another jump. It now was above Nills, though only by a little bit. Cells face now resembled anger. "Well, you're quite the tough one arent you? Well now ive had it! Im going to use my full power, and rip you to pieces!" Nill just smiled again. Cell was stronger now, but if need be he always had his Super Kaioken, and the Super Saiyan 2 that seemed to be just beyond that. The battle wa sjust getting started, but he had a feeling the next round would be the biggest.
