Orange Star High: The Cell Games

Chapter 5

Mr. Toriyama pressed the play button on the remote for the VCR. The video started with Cell standing in the ring, looking over at a group of people standing together. Hercule was also in the ring, standing not too far from Cell, looking at him.

"Who will be the first to challenge?" Cell said to the Z-Fighters.

At that moment, Hercule stepped over to Cell.

"You're looking at him! Lets get it on!" Hercule said to Cell.

"Listen Mr. Satan, if you fight Cell you're going to get killed!" A man in the background said.

The Cameraman and Mr. Satan looked at each other in confusion and humor after the man's comment. He then pointed the camera to the man who had spoke. He was wearing an orange gi, with a blue undershirt, and had blonde hair and blue eyes. He was standing next to a short bald monk, who was wearing the same orange gi.

'Dad..' Gohan thought to himself, trembling and holding back tears at the sight of his father.

"Just moments ago this long haired guy just had the audacity to tell the people's hero, Hercule Satan to back down from the tournament! Imagine telling the Martial Arts Champion of the World he was going to be beaten!" The Cameraman said to his viewers.

The class started to whisper to each other. Gohan had caught what most of his classmates had said.

"Wow that blonde guy must be a real dumbass.."

"That idiot had no idea who he was speaking to.."

"What a trickster.. How dare he speak to our hero like that.."

Gohan was trying his best to contain the rage and anger that was building up. He desperately wanted to throttle the neck of the people who had disrespected his father, mainly Hercule. If that bastard never claimed to have beat Cell, he would never have had to hear these insane remarks that his peers were making about his father.

Some minutes later, Gohan started to take deep breaths to calm himself down. 'Easy Gohan.. They'll all know that Hercule is a phony soon..' Gohan thought. His breathing eased and he was calm once more. He glanced over at the big screen and saw Hercule standing near Cell in the ring, with his stance. He realized that he had missed the part where Hercule's students had tried to take on Cell themselves, only to get knocked out of the ring with no effort.

Hercule then charged at Cell and kicked him once in the face. Cell did not budge at all, just standing there with a blank expression.

"I can't believe it! It looked like the Champ went straight for his dynamite kick!" The Cameraman yelled out.

Hercule took his stance again and started to move his arms in a weird fashion, probably to intimidate Cell. He started to throw a combination of punches and kicks at Cell, all of which Cell did not flinch at.

"Look at him! The man never rests! What speed and agility that our Champ has!" The Cameraman said to the viewers.

Hercule took a step back and laughed. He then took his stance again.

"And now for my finish!" Hercule yelled out while charging towards Cell once more.

It was at that moment that Cell had enough. He simply swatted Hercule out of the ring, where he hit his head on a large mountain, and slid down to the ground, holding his face in pain.

The whole class was shocked. Many of them had their mouths gaped wide, not believing at what they just saw. Even Videl herself was stunned. She had not remembered seeing this part of the video.

"Uhhh.." was all that the Cameraman in the video could say.

Gohan had his hand over his mouth trying to suppress the laughter he was desperately trying to hold. He remembered Krillin's words after Cell had bitch-smacked Hercule out of the ring. "To be honest Gohan.. I was counting on Cell to win that one." Krillin had said to Gohan.

It was then that the video on the screen had been paused. Hercule was standing in front of it, his face full of sweat.

"Uh.. Remember when I told you guys that I tripped?" Hercule asked the gymnasium full of students, his face growing extremely pale from fear.

Then everyone started to laugh.

"Oh yeah I remember that now!" One student called out.

"Yeah! That Cell creature must've been lucky that Mr. Satan tripped!" Another student called out.

"Heh heh.. Yeah that bug just got lucky that I lost my balance! He could never take on the great Hercule and live! HA HA!" Mr. Satan yelled out while throwing up another peace sign to his fans.

The class went wild, of course except for Gohan and Videl. Gohan had a vein throbbing on the side of his head, not believing that these Satan fans had actually fell for another one of Hercule's lies. Videl on the other hand was annoyed. She always hated when her father always bragged about his strength.

"Ahem!" The teacher tried to get the attention of the class. The whole class had quiet down once more and looked over to the big screen.

"Anyways.. Now we can get back to watching the video." Mr. Toriyama said.

He pressed the play button on the remote and the video had resumed to where it was at.

"So, lets get the tournament on the way. Who will be first? Will it be Goku to start things off?" Cell asked while looking over at the group of people standing together again.

The man the kids now knew as Goku had stepped on to the ring, with a smile on his face.

"Lets do it!" Goku called out to Cell.
