Orange Star High: The Cell Games

Chapter 9

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

The fighters standing on the cliff took their stances, nervous and afraid, but ready to battle. When the mini Cells reached the cliff, a short, but bulky man with gold, gravity-defying hair and a golden aura around him tried to punch one of the miniature Cell's, only for it to be blocked.

Another Cell Jr appeared in front of the bald monk, making a funny face at him. The scared bald monk also tried to land a hit on the mini Cell, but it jumped up and dodged it.

"You missed me!" It said in a funny, playful voice. The monk flew up in the air and tried to land some more hits on the mini creature, who kept dodging all of them.

The viewers saw the tall green man, a bald man who seemed to have 3 eyes, a man with spiky onyx hair wearing an orange gi, and a teenager who also had messy spiky golden hair & a golden aura around him being attacked by the Cell Jr's.

"Hey isn't that Yamcha!" A boy yelled, recognizing the man with the spiky onyx hair.

"Yeah that definitely is him!" Another boy yelled out.

All of the students whispered to each other, still trying to figure out why Yamcha, the famous baseball player for the Titans was at the Cell Games. The only two students that weren't among the group of talking students were of course, Videl and Gohan. Videl was too caught up with what she was watching to talk meanwhile Gohan was studying the battle.

Cell watched his children with glee as they continued to battle with the mysterious group of warriors. From the corner of his eye he saw the younger Gohan watching with shock and discomfort.

"OH! The unknown band of fighters are being pummeled by these new little monsters! Everyone is fighting at once in an all out punching frenzy! No rules, no order, and no hope for any of us!" The reporter told the viewers at home.

"Unless, of course.. Mr. Satan, how is it?" He asked the Mr. Satan standing next to him in the video.

Hercule, just looked at him, confusion spreading across his face.

"Huh?"

"Your dreadful stomach virus! How is it?"

Mr. Satan clenched his stomach, pretending to still be in pain.

"YOU KNOW JUST BECAUSE I DONT SCREAM AND WHINE ABOUT IT ALL OF THE TIME LIKE A LITTLE SISSY DOESN'T MEAN THAT ITS STILL THREATNING MY LIFE!" Mr. Satan yelled at the reporter.

"Oh.. Well of course not!"

"A STOMACH PAIN LIKE THIS WOULD'VE KILLED ANY NORMAL MAN! I'M THE ONLY GUY IN THE WORLD WITH THE STRENGTH TO BEAR IT!" Mr. Satan continued on.

"Oh.. thats.. impressive." The reporter told Mr. Satan.

"AHAHAHAHA" Mr. Satan laughed, much to the reporter's surprise.

"So.. is the pain gone?" He asked.

"OW OH OW THE PAIN! DON'T TALK ABOUT IT!" Mr. Satan lied.

Many of the students looked at the Mr. Satan in the gymnasium, clearly not believing that he could be the "only person" in the entire world that can handle stomach pain, a fake stomach pain to be exact. Mr. Satan could do nothing but hide back in his little corner by the screen.

'Why the hell did I say that..' He thought.


The Cell Jrs assault on the fighters carried on. The man they knew as Goku was hit in the face by a punch. Then, the Cell Jr disappeared and reappeared from under the ground, hitting Goku in the face once again. The bald monk and the tall green man were hit in the face by the miniature creatures, which staggered them back. Then, surprisingly, the green man got a hit on the Cell Jr, which made it fly down to the ground. However, it landed on the ground perfectly on its feet and flew back up to the green man. Much to the kids surprise, he quickly grabbed the Cell Jr and threw it down, where it landed on another Cell Jr.

"YAMCHA DODGE!" The green man told him. Yamcha ducked out of the way, and the green man got a kick on one of the mini Cells, sending it flying back to a mountain.

Yamcha and the bald man with 3 eyes saw this as an opportunity to gang up on one of the creatures. They got ahold of one of them and grabbed its left and right arm. In unison, they kneed the mini Cell in the face, sending it in air where it landed on the ground. The Cell Jr's decided that it was time to stop playing. One-by-one, they took down the group of fighters. First was the monk, who was viciously attacked until he was on the ground. Then a Cell Jr kneed him in the middle of his back. Next was the green man, who was being punched repeatedly. Then came the teenage boy with the messy spiky hair, who was thrown from the air on to the ground.

The little boy could not stand seeing his friends being attacked. Why would Cell do something like this? Why would he maliciously go after his friends because he so desperately wanted to get Gohan to show his full power? The young Gohan was confused, angered and helpless. Helpless because he could do nothing but watch his friends be beat, all because of him. Gohan's anger boiled as his power rose. Cell took notice of this and told him, "Ah, your energy is beginning to swell!"

"Thats good! Now take your anger and feed off of it. Use it to unleash your power.. Before its too late for your friends. Just take a look out there. No one but Vegeta and Trunks can still defend themselves.. Not even your father.. He too will die."


Gohan's POV

Gohan watched in anger as his father and friends in the video were being beaten by the Cell Jr's. Up until then, Gohan had barely shown any emotion. But seeing the people he cared about being tossed around like toys was not something he could just watch. His fists clenched. His body trembled. His teeth gritted as he continued to watch them being hit. He was mad. Very mad. Not only at Cell, but at himself. Just like his younger counterpart, he felt helpless.


A large blast made by the Cell Jr's created a huge gust of wind that traveled along the landscape. Mr. Satan and the reporter were hit with this huge gust of wind and thrown back. They took cover over a nearby rock.

The head that once belonged to the Android was hit with the wind and rolled over to the rock where Mr. Satan and the others were at.

"You know we can't keep filming, when we're torn into little pieces!" The cameraman told the reporter.

"Yes, good point" The reporter replied back, still in shock.

"What do you say we get on out of here.. Our fans will understand."

"Maestro Satan, can we go with them!?" The scared Piroshki asked Mr. Satan

"Go if you want, but a true champion never runs from danger." Mr. Satan told him, standing up in confidence.

"So you're going to.. stay here?" Caroni asked him.

"YOU BET! First I'll go to the hospital to fix my stomach of course, then I'll return and win!" He said, walking off, but was stopped by a voice.

"WAIT.." It said.

Mr. Satan turned around nervously, and looked around.

"Was that you?" He asked his students and the woman with them. They quickly shook their heads. Mr. Satan then looked at the cameraman and the reporter, who also shook their heads.

"WAIT.." The voice said again. The group quickly realized where the voice came from. It was the head! They were in complete fear now, wondering how in the hell the head was able to speak.

"Please help me.." The head of the Android said.

They screamed in terror.

The class also screamed in terror, and many of them had fainted once again.

"THAT HEAD IS TALKING OH MY KAMI NO WAY!" A girl shouted.

"Before you go.. Please take me to the area where the rest of them are fighting." The head told them.

"That head is.. talking!" The now scared reporter said.

"Please.. It is.. for the good of the Earth.." The head said.

"You must be insane! Cell and his little minions are out there!" Mr. Satan yelled to the head.

"Yeah, thats right! We can't let our champ go out there in such a dangerous mess." The reporter said.

The head of the android smiled.

"I thought you would be eager to help the planet. You are its greatest champion, are you not?" It asked.

"Mr. Satan is the world champion of mankind! And that doesn't include monsters like you and Cell! You got it?" The reporter told the head.

"HEY SHUT UP!" Mr. Satan told the reporter.

"They might be monsters but I could crush them all with one hand! I just.. need a doctor first."

"Help me.. Champion." The head said.

Mr. Satan was caught in a battle between his fears and his confidence. He would love to help the bodiless head, no matter how freaky it was, but at the same time, he didn't want to risk his life.

"Hercule, don't listen to that thing! He's heartless!" The woman, Miss Piiza said.

"And he has not a body!" Piroshki said.

"Thats what happens when you get too close to Cell!" Caroni then said.

"Mr. Satan!" Was all that the reporter could say.

"ENOUGH!" Mr. Satan shouted out.

"I.. WILL HELP YOU."

The group of people around him stared at him stunned. He walked over to the smiling head and picked it up.

"You have to stop you'll get killed.." The reporter tried to get Mr. Satan to stop.

"Leave me alone! All these nobodies out there and even now a kid is fighting Cell! It would be shameful for a world champion to run away." Mr. Satan told him.

"Please.. don't go!" The reporter tried again.

"Will it be okay if I just took you somewhere close?" Mr. Satan asked the head.

"Yes. Thank You." It responded back.

Mr. Satan ran through the blasts and explosions all around the battlefield towards where Cell and the little boy were at.

"I CAN'T DO THIS! ITS TERRIFYING!" Mr. Satan yelled out, scared out of his mind.

"You're doing fine. Just throw me from here." The head calmly told Mr. Satan.

Mr. Satan stopped and threw the head towards Cell. It had landed right in between where the monster and the boy were standing at.

"Android 16?" The young Gohan asked, confused and shocked that his head had appeared in front of him.

"Gohan.. Let it go.." The android told Gohan.

"It is not a sin to fight for the right cause.. There are those who words alone will not reach. Cell is such a being. I know how you feel Gohan. You are gentle, you do not like to hurt. I know because I too have learned these feelings. But it is because you cherish life that you must protect it."

Cell heard the android speak and walked over to the head.

"Yuck.. This sentimental downpour is killing me." He said to himself.

"Its so nice of you to help 16.. But I plan on doing this my way."

The android smiled.

"Please.. drop your restraints.. Protect the life I loved. You have the strength, my scanners sensed it. Just.. let it go.." The android said before Cell walked over and crushed its head.

The class screamed in terror again as they saw the head being crushed. A lot of the girls, along with some jocks threw up at the sight of the blood from the head.


Videl's POV

Videl watched as her father threw the head of the android over towards where Cell and Gohan were. She heard the android speak to Gohan, telling him to release his power and protect his loved ones. Then, she saw Cell walk over and destroy the head. Her eyes widened and her mouth flew open as she saw the pieces of the android's head fly around.

'Holy Shit..' She thought. She turned her head to Gohan, who's body was trembling in anger. She figured that this part must have been very emotional for him to watch again. She decided not to ask Gohan any questions and turned her head back to the screen.


As the pieces of the android were crushed, Gohan could do nothing but watch.. Watch in shock. Watch in horror. Watch in.. incompetence.. His newly made friend had died in front of his eyes.

"Yet another fighter you could've saved." Cell told Gohan.

'16.. You loved life.. You gived everything up to save it.. And you were just an Android.. I let you die. I can't do that, I won't watch anymore. I feel it slipping..' The younger Gohan thought to himself.

The class watched as Gohan stood there, the shock from his face never changing. But before anyone could speak about it, suddenly they felt something. It was Gohan. They saw Cell turn to the young boy.

'AND I WONT WATCH THIS ANYMORE!' Were his final words in his head.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" The young Gohan screamed. A huge crater was made below Gohan's feet. The gusts of wind had returned, but heavier than ever. The screaming was so loud and the increase in power was so huge that the Cell Jr's stopped to see what was going on. The fighters turned from what they were doing and watched what was happening. Cell sat there in shock as Gohan's power increased immensely. The students saw this and knew.. This was the moment. The moment where the broadcast was cut short. This was the last thing they had remembered seeing.. The little boy screaming and the winds picking up.. This was Gohan. No longer was he the nerd boy, the mountain boy, the scrawny weakling that they had called him. No, this was Gohan, the almighty, the powerful. And this was their classmate.
