Nill, who had destroyed several more Cell Juniors, was working on the last couple. Vegeta and Trunks were barely able to stay in normal Super Saiyan, and Goku, who was still in Super Saiyan, but greatly weakened, was unable to stand at the moment. Nill rushed over to Trunks and Vegeta, and shot off two energy blasts right at the Cell Juniors they were fighting. Both hit the mark, and the two blue monsters turned and rushed at Nill. The saiyan began dodging their reckless attacks with ease. He knew the weakness of these things. They were strong, but not focused. They were too wild for their own good. With several well aimed kicks, he knocked the creatures back towards Trunks and Vegeta. Vegeta cupped his hands infront of him, and gathered up his energy. For a moment, his power nearly doubled as he launched a giant energy attack "NOW DIE YOU DAMN FREAKS!! FINAL FLAAAAAAAAASH!!!!!!!" The giant energy engulfed both Cell Juniors, and they completely disappeared.
Cell, angered that his children lost, rushed over. Kicking both Trunks and Vegeta hard in the gut, both fighters fell out of Super Saiyan and dropped to the ground. Nill was the only one left now. He flew over, and the two engaged in a fierce melee. Cell had powered down after he released the Cell Juniors, so the two were even at the moment. Both exchanged blows at an incredible rate. Cell though, landed more hits, and Nill began to lose his momentum as Cell began batting him around.
The android kicked him upward and flew after him. He rose right above him and punched him right in the back. Nill screamed in pain as he jet back down. Gohan was horrified. The saiyan he became friends with all those years ago was risking his life again to protect him. Nill crashed into the ground with a bang. But he went right back up towards Cell, and began throwing punches and kicks madly. Cell, suprised by a such a wild attack from the normally precise striking Nill, could only try and block what he could. Nill broke through however, and winded Cell with a hard kick to the side. Rising above him, Nill followed up with another hard kick to the top of Cells head, sending him crashing towards the rocks Gohan was near.
Nill flew back down with great speed. He regained his momentum, and charged up energy in his two hands. As Cell stood up, Nill flew inches away, and placed his glowing hands on the androids chest. With a yell of triumph, he blasted Cell right in the gut, resulting in a large explosion. Gohan recomposed himself and flew out of the way. Seconds after, Nill went dragging across the ground. When he stopped, he was severely injured. Blood was everywhere on his body, scrapes and bruises made it hard for him to move, and his last attack drained him of most of his energy. Cell was nowhere to be seen with all the smoke, but when it cleared, both Gohan and Nill's eyes widened.
Cell lost both his arms, one of his legs, and there was a big hunk of his chest missing. However, his head remained, and it looked angry. "You... you little fool... dont you see, I cant be beaten! Ill always remain, even after your fiercest blast! Thanks to Piccolos cells, these injuries are nothing but a minor setback! HAAAA!" And as expected, his missing limbs and chest returned. However, Cell himself lost a lot of energy, and his power level dropped. Nills though, dropped much more. The saiyan could barely stand, as he now struggled to stay in Super Saiyan. The others had begun to stir, as Goku Trunks and Vegeta all stood up. They all gasped at the sight they saw. Vegeta could barely speak. "I cant believe it... their power, its dropped so much! Kakarots son could beat Cell now!"
Gohan though, was still scared. He could sense the gap between Cells power and his own now, but Cell had caused so much pain to everyone else. How could he finish him off. Nill gave it his all and failed, and he was the strongest fighter they had! Cell, not wanting to wait anymore, charged at Nill. With great force, he punched Nill in the stomach, causing Nill to cough up some blood and fall to his knees. Cell grabbed him by the head and lifted him up. Nills eyes were narrow, but Gohan could see the hate, the anger, the pure rage. Nill tried to punch back, but Cell grabbed his hand, and began to bend it back. Nill screamed in agony as Cell chuckled. He pushed his hand back more, until he heard a snap. He then let go of Nills head, and round-housed him away. Nill crashed into the ground, and reverted back to normal. He was still conscious, but it was more of his stubborness that was keeping him awake. He knew he'd die before he'd pass out and stop fighting.
Gohan had enough. He flew at Cell and aimed a punch at the androids head. Cell, too preoccupied with Nills defeat, was hit full-on. He staggered for a moment, as Gohan began kicking him in the back as fast as he could. Cell was pushed forward, as Gohan intensified his attacks. He began punching and kicking, and Cell became aggrivated. Turning forward, Gohans blows began doing less and less, until they couldnt even make Cell flinch. Gohan stopped and stared in horror. Was this really all he could do? Cells power jumped up, as he blasted Gohan away. Gohan crashed back into the rocks, and reverted to normal. Goku, who had collapsed back down, could only watch in anger as his son and close friend were massacred. Cell began charging up another blast. He'd grown impatient and planned to finish the young half-saiyan once and for all. He pointed his hand at Gohan and smiled. "Well, son of Goku. Its too bad we'll never see that power of yours! But you're just too stubborn. Now its time I end your suffering!"
Nill stood up, though he struggled with it. His eyes widened as he saw Cell prepare to finish Gohan. He began having flashbacks of his times with Gohan. The day the met, training to face Nappa and Vegeta, fighting Vegeta together, training for the androids, helping Gohan become a Super Saiyan, going to his birthday party, going to his house as a guest for dinner. The memories all flashed in his head, and he knew what he had to do. Flashing to Super Saiyan, he flew over to Gohan as fast as he could. As Cell fired the blast, Nill stood several feet in front of Gohan, and charged his own energy. Gohans eyes widened, and he tried to stand. He went up to his feet slowly, and stared at his friend. "N.. Nill? What are you doing?! He'll kill you! You know you cant block that!" Nill smiled and turned to Gohan. "Gohan, we've had fun, you and me. Its been like having a little brother. We've battled together, we've trained together, i've eaten dinner at your house like I was a member of your family. And families have to protect each other. I know what Goku sees in you. I know now too, only you can beat Cell. The hidden power you have will bring Cell down. You just have to let it go. You have to protect the earth. And protect your friends. They love you Gohan, and they'll do anything for you. Just like me... Ill see you soon kid. You beat Cell. Make him pay for what hes done. Ill be watching in the other world. So long..." Nill turned ahead again, as he became engulfed by Cells attack. He screamed, and Gohans tears silently flowed down his face. Nill disappeared with the flash, but he blocked it from hitting Gohan at all. Gohan yelled in anger, as his friends life came to an end...
When the light faded, Nills body layed in a crater, motionless. Gohan ran over and shook him. "Nill! Nill you have to wake up! Please! You can't be gone!" Nill didnt stir. Goku stood, and he knew as well as the others, Nill was gone. "Nill... you saved my sons life... You protected him when all I could do was watch... Thank you my friend, and promise, we'll wish you back... once Gohan beats Cell!" And as he said that, Gohan screamed. His power began to shoot up, as he went back into Super Saiyan. Rocks began to fly, and the entire ground below him began to shake. Cell knew, Gohans hidden power was finally showing itself. Gohans hair began to stand up, and it became spikier. His muscles grew, and blue sparks of electricity danced and crackled around him. Gohan had achieved Super Saiyan 2. He looked at Cell with pure hate. His eyes were different. They were emotionless, cold. Cell became scared, and backed up as Gohan approached him slowly. Gohans aura flared, and he spoke with a much deeper, angrier voice. "I can never forgive you for what you've done! Im going to make you pay! Just like Nill wanted me to!"
Sorry it took so long for an update. But with only five reviews after 14 chapters, ive been thinking if I should even continue, so im gonna say it straight forward. Thanks to the author of "AU: A boy's training" for this idea btw. Im not writing another chapter unless I get some reviews. And I dont mean from the two that have already. Ive gotten enough hits to know people have read this. So just tell me what you think, okay? Im giving it until... probably Sunday. Ill finish off the Cell Games cause it'd be gay of me to leave a saga unfinished, but after that, I expect reviews. For now, enjoy the chapter. R&R... please!
