Orange Star High: The Cell Games

Chapter 8

As Cell continued to crush Gohan's skull, the class continued to shout.

Many comments of "Monster" and "Evil creature" were heard throughout the gymnasium.

"Gohan, whats stopping you? Give in to your anger, lose control! Show me your hidden power, its the only way to save yourself!" Cell said to Gohan, his foot still compressed on Gohan's head.

"You stubborn child, get mad!" He then grabbed Gohan up off the ground and held him by his collar.

"Do you hear me! I want you to get furious!" Cell started to punch Gohan in the face. Then he elbowed him in the stomach, which made him fly backwards into a large boulder.

"And Cell just delivered the delivery boy another ferocious attack!" The reporter said.

"How much more abuse can this noble lad withstand?"

The camera in the video then turned to Mr. Satan.

"Mr. Satan what are your thoughts?" The reporter asked Mr. Satan in the video, who, like the Mr. Satan in the gymnasium was watching the fight with extreme shock.

The Mr. Satan in the video wiped his forehead, "Uhhh.. I think this boy doesn't even stand a chance! You gotta let a man finish the job."

Videl rolled her eyes.

'Please.. He's doing a whole lot better than you ever did. At least he's not hiding behind a rock.' She thought.

"Does this mean that you're going to fight?" The reporter asked in excitement.

In the video, Mr. Satan's eyes nearly popped out of his head.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, it looks like the world champ is prepared for a round 2!" The reporter told his viewers.

Suddenly, Mr. Satan fell to the ground, holding his stomach.

"Owww the pain! Its my stomach!" He lied, holding his stomach to make it seem like he was in pain.

Everyone in the gymnasium sweatdropped. They knew Mr. Satan was lying about his so-called stomach pain.

Cell ran towards Gohan at full speed, still trying to get him to unleash his hidden power.

"Show me your power, defend yourself!" He screamed as threw a punch at Gohan, who dodged it and flew up in the air. Cell tried once more, running at Gohan only to be kicked to the ground.

"Yeah Gohan show him who's boss!" Erasa yelled out.

Cell got up, struggling a bit as he stared at Gohan with anger. He wiped a small amount of blood trickling from his lip and looked at the finger that he wiped the blood with. He quickly wiped the blood on his thumb and smirked.

"Well then.. It looks like I may actually get through to you yet." Cell said to the young boy.

The young Gohan and Cell had a stare down.

"Gohan.. Lets see if we can give your engine a jumpstart." Cell said, pointing his finger at Gohan and firing what seemed to be a laser beam at him. Gohan managed to duck just in time to avoid being hit with the beam. Cell fired another beam at Gohan, who jumped to the other side of it. Cell continued to fire more beams at Gohan, all of which he dodged, until Gohan flew the other direction. Cell followed him and caught up to him, grabbing him and putting him in a powerful bear hug and squeezing as hard as he could.

Cell laughed maniacally as the little boy shouted in pain, and struggled to release himself from Cell's grasp.

"Think about it.. A wretched way to die! And no one can stop me!"

"Except for you Gohan.. Except for you!" Cell said, still squeezing the boy with all his might.


Videl's POV

Videl tried her best not to worry about the younger Gohan on the screen as she saw him literally being squeezed to death by Cell's bear hug.

"Think about it.. A wretched way to die! And no one can stop me!" She heard Cell say.

She turned her head to Gohan, who was still looking at the screen with the same seriousness as before.

'What the hell is up with this boy..' She thought.


The Class's POV

The students stared in horror as Cell continued to squeeze the life out of their younger friend.

One student turned to Gohan and asked, "Why isn't anyone helping you?"

Gohan ignored the question and kept watching the video. The student was surprised Gohan hadn't answered his question and was about to ask him again when Gohan raised his hand up and told him, "Just watch the video please." The student decided not to ask anymore questions and chose to do what Gohan had told him.

"Hey!" A girl called out.

"Mr. Satan was there during the Cell Games! Why didn't he help the little boy!" She yelled out.

"YEAH! Mr. Satan why didn't you help him?"

Students were screaming out to Mr. Satan at the top of their lungs until Gohan had enough.

"JUST SHUT UP AND WATCH THE DAMN VIDEO!" He told them. The class became extremely quiet and all of them thought it was best not to get Gohan angry, especially now that they knew that he could fight.


Mr. Satan's POV

Mr. Satan was watching the video, seeing the same exact thing that the class was seeing.

"Oh no, Cell is gonna crush that little boy! I should've been there to stop that bastard Cell." He thought. He was thinking about ways he could've saved the boy until he heard a girl shout "Mr. Satan was there during the Cell Games! Why didn't he help the little boy!"

"YEAH! Mr. Satan why didn't you help him?" A boy shouted.

Mr. Satan turned to the class and saw many of them shouting at him, anger clearly on their faces. He looked at all of their faces, scared that his lies would finally catch up. He was about to respond to the angry class when suddenly a boy yelled out "JUST SHUT UP AND WATCH THE DAMN VIDEO!" Mr. Satan saw the class's expression change from anger to complete fear. The class then resumed to watching the video, much to his relief.

Mr. Satan hid near a corner by the screen and gave a sigh of relief.

'Thank Kami for that boy..' He thought.


Up at the lookout, Dende looked down at the world, frowning to himself.

"Looks like Gohan isn't the person I should torture anymore.." He said.


In the video, Cell was still squeezing the younger Gohan.

"Come on.. I know this hurts you." He told the boy.

"What are you waiting for! I can feel your bones beginning to crack, so if you're going to act, do it now."

The young boy continued to scream in pain and struggle, trying to free himself from Cell.

After a minute or two more of Cell squeezing the boy, Cell finally let go, letting Gohan fall to the floor.

Many gasps were heard from the bleachers. Some of the girls and even some of the jocks started to cry, thinking the boy was seriously injured, some thinking he was dead.

"You still refuse to fight back, despite all of the pain I inflicted on you." Cell told him, looking down at him.

"Perhaps you'll respond better to the pain of your dear ole' friends."

This made the child snap his eyes open in shock. Certainly Cell wouldn't go as far as to hurting his friends?

Cell turned to the group of fighters, then took off flying towards them. The camera picked up the stunned expressions of the fighters as Cell drew closer.

"Ohh, Cell's taking flight!" The reporter said.

Suddenly, a tall green man wearing a purple gi similar to the younger Gohan flew towards Cell and tried to attack him. Cell easily dodged to the side, and continued to fly towards the group. He landed in front of the bald monk the kids saw earlier. In lightning speed, he grabbed something that the monk was hiding in his gi. It was a brown bag.

"These are those nifty senszu beans right?" He told the bald monk.

"Well you don't mind if hold them, do you?"

Cell then turned and flew back to Gohan, who was still recovering from the pain he had just received. He looked at the bag, then glanced at the group over his shoulders and smirked. Cell said something inaudible to the viewers then laughed.

"Wait, what are you going to do?" The young Gohan in the video asked.

"I'm going to do whatever it takes to make you angry and bring out your full power!"

"And if your friends end up dead, you could just blame yourself for being so stubborn!"

"Please don't do this! If you unleash my power I won't be able to stop it! I'll kill you!" Gohan tried his best to stop Cell.

Cell laughed at this. "Oh Gohan, I assure you that once I've have had my fill I'll stop you myself." Cell told him.

Cell turned over to look at the fighters once more. The young Gohan saw this as an opportunity to attack Cell and launched at him, only to receive a kick that sent him flying back to a large boulder, and hitting the ground.

"Thats the spirit, let your spirit overcome you!" Cell said.

Then, out of nowhere, a guy with red hair wearing a heavy green jacket flew over and grabbed Cell from behind. Cell, not having any time to react, was put into the similar bear hug that he gave to Gohan.

"16! STOP THIS!" He yelled out.

"Whats this! Another contestant has entered the fray! Could this big strange man be the hero we've all been waiting for?" The reporter told his viewers.

"NO! Stay back! Please!" The big guy with red hair told to the anonymous group of fighters.

"I will kill him by self destructing!" This shocked everyone, even Cell in the video.

"I have a powerful explosive embedded deep in my body. It was intended to be a last resort. I am sorry that we androids have caused so much suffering here on Earth."


The reporter in the video screamed in terror and shock.

"Cell, no matter how strong you have become you will not survive this explosion!" The android told Cell.

"Cell you destroyed life. You're a parasite to this planet! And I see now that this is the best way to destroy you."

Cell struggled to get out of his grip, but failed.

"Dr. Gero's sick ambition to terrorize the world through us will ultimately be put to rest by his own devices."

The android squeezed the green monster even tighter.

"He's really gonna blow himself up!" A student called out, who got a handful of "SHHH's" from his classmates, who were still afraid of what Gohan would do if they hadn't stayed quiet.

Both the android and Cell yelled, and then the android started to glow a bright yellow. Strangely enough, the android did not explode and the yellow glow that engulfed his entire body disappeared.

"WHAT!?" The stunned android screamed.

"Something is wrong! The trigger's gone!"

"You can't 16! Because your bomb.. was removed!" The bald monk yelled to the android.

The android was in even more shock than he was before. Cell, who had regained composure, laughed.

"Sorry 16, I'm staying." He told the android.

"But if you have a death wish, far be it for me to let you down." Cell released himself from the android and put his hand on his stomach and blasted him to many pieces.


Videl's POV

Videl had seen the android fly and put Cell in a bear hug. She heard the android's decision to blow himself up along with Cell.

"He's really gonna do it! Was this how Cell died?" She thought to herself as she saw the android glowing. Then, the glow disappeared. The android had not exploded.

'Huh? What happened?' She thought.

The bald monk told the android that the bomb in his body had been removed. Next thing she knew, Cell was free from the android's grasp and blew him into pieces.

Videl stared with eyes wide open as the many pieces of the android scattered over the floor.

"OH.. MY.. KAMI.." was all she could say.


Many of the students, mainly the girls, had fainted at the sight of the now destroyed android. Some people started rushed to the bathroom to throw up, and some people just sat there stunned. Even Gohan reacted somehow, but not in disgust. He was angered by what he saw. Seeing his old friend Android 16 die all over again was something he thought he was prepared for. But he was wrong. It triggered old memories, old memories that he wanted to go away forever, but couldn't. He couldn't do anything but sit at his spot, with his fists balled tight.

Cell walked over to the android's severed head and put his foot on it.

"16..His petty existence proved that Dr. Gero had his flaws." He took his foot off of the head and kicked it far away, where it had hit a mountain and rolled over towards where Mr. Satan and the reporter where at.

The cameraman pointed the camera at the head. The students that had came back from their bathroom trip decided to go back to throw up some more.

"Caroni, move that thing away from us!" The viewers heard Mr. Satan tell to one of his students.

As the nervous Caroni stepped over to the android's head, he picked it up nervously for a mere second before dropping it in fear. Ironic enough, the head was now turned facing the cameraman.

"So Gohan, we still haven't gotten you mad?" Cell asked Gohan, who was shaking in anger.

"Lets try some friendly persuasion."

"Lets see..." Cell looked over to the fighters and counted how many of them there were. He counted to 7 and then started to yell, straining himself. His.. uh.. tail on his back opened and started to poop out mini blue versions of himself. There were 8 of them. (Going with 8 since the anime messed up on that one)

"OH MY KAMI CELL JUST HAD BABIES!" Angela yelled out. Once again, many "SHHH's" were heard by the class.

"1.. 2.. 3.. 4.. 5.. 6.. 7.. 8.. 8 monsters!" The reporter shouted after counting them.

"They look just like Cell except their little and blue and I don't know whats going on!" he added on.

The mini Cells gathered around their father.

"Now, my dear children. Those 7 on the cliff are your enemies. Give them pain, kill them, if it makes you happy." Cell told them.

"HOP ON!" The mini Cells all flew towards the cliff that the fighters were standing on, prepared to do their worse.
