Orange Star High: The Cell Games

Chapter 11

The stage was set; Gohan vs Cell Part 2 was about to begin. But this was not the Gohan that they saw earlier. The Gohan standing face-to-face with the monster known as Cell was different, not just physically. Gone was any fear or trepidation. He was a lot more confident, and his face showed it. Cell, on the other hand was the opposite of this. Although his face still showed extreme anger and exasperation from Gohan destroying his mini creatures, he was trembling on the inside. Yes, he knew that this was his idea to get Gohan to release his full power, but what he got was not what he expected. Gohan was a lot stronger than he was now, but he did not want to accept this. How could a mere child be stronger than the greatest creation Dr. Gero has ever made?

Gohan stared at Cell, his expression as serious as ever. The sparks of electricity emitting from his body grew faster making him seem even more powerful than ever. Many of the students did not even want to hear themselves breathe as they knew that this was the most intense part of the video. The Delivery Boy, also known as their classmate Gohan, against the horrendous monster, Cell.

After what seemed like hours of watching a stare down, Cell finally smirked and spoke up.

"Now.." He said. Gohan saw this as the beginning of the fight. He took his stance, completely flawless, and then rushed at Cell.

"YES!" Cell shouted, proud that the fight was beginning. Gohan drew closer to Cell and just when it seemed like he was going to attack, he fazed through Cell's body, going out of sight. Cell looked up and saw Gohan in the air, looking down at him.

Angered at the speed Gohan had, Cell teleported and appeared in front of Gohan, charging at him. Like Gohan, he fazed through him and was nowhere in sight. Then, he appeared in front of Gohan again, and threw a lot of punches at him, all of which Gohan effortlessly dodged.

"STOP MOCKING ME!" Cell angrily yelled out before throwing out a kick at him, which Gohan blocked with his arm. Now, it was time for Gohan to strike. Gohan threw out a combination of punches at Cell, which Cell also dodged. Many kicks and punches were being thrown, all of them being blocked or dodged. To any average human, it would look like Cell and Gohan were even. But that wasn't the case. It may have seemed like Gohan was going toe-to-toe with Cell, but in reality, he wasn't even trying.

All of the students watched in amazement as Gohan and Cell went head to head which each other. Nobody had gotten hit yet, but everyone was still amazed that the young boy could do so much.

"Wow Gohan is really strong!" A girl yelled out, a hint of flirt in her voice.


Sharpner's POV

Sharpner watched the ner- I mean the boy easily dodge and deflect Cell's move. Sharpner was excited by this fight and was very happy that Cell finally had someone at his level, but could not help but feel jealous of Gohan. Ever since he had known Videl, he'd always try to get her to like him. But no matter how hard he tried, she'd always decline him, and in a memorable way too. But ever since Gohan showed up, she's been all focused on him. And now to make matters worse, he was the little boy who fought Cell 7 years ago! And to make things even worse for Sharpner, he found out that his childhood hero was a liar.

Sharpner sighed in disbelief. "Today has been crazy.. First I found out the nerd I've been picking on isn't even a nerd, and turned out to be the Delivery Boy, then I find out that Mr. Satan is a phony.. This just isn't my day.." He said to himself. He turned over to look at what Videl and Gohan were doing, and saw them both smiling at the screen. He sighed to himself again and turned back to watch the fight.


Erasa's POV

Erasa couldn't believe what she was watching. She had always had her thoughts about Gohan being strong, but she'd never imagine him to be the one who fought Cell! But here he was, striking at Cell, and actually being even with him.

'Wow, who knew Gohan could be so hot, strong, and smart.' She giggled. She looked at Sharpner, who turned over to look at Gohan and Videl, and then he turned around, looking depressed. Boy, that idiot could be clueless sometimes. Did he ever realize that she liked him? Knowing Sharpner, she probably didn't think he'd ever realized that. He was too focused on getting Videl to like him, and no matter how many times she'd reject him, he'd always try again. She always thought about just telling him, but she wanted him to find out for himself. Once Gohan came to the picture, she thought about asking him about, but after seeing how madly in love (in her point of view) Videl was with the guy, she'd make the decision to let Videl have Gohan to herself. It wasn't everyday that she saw Videl actually interested in a guy.

She looked at Sharpner again, who still looked depressed as ever as he watched the fight go on. She sighed to herself.

'Oh Sharpner.. Will you think for once?'


Cell threw a blast at Gohan, who swatted it to the side. He then charged at the little boy like an animal. Gohan, who was descending to the ground stopped just above it as Cell came in and tried to punch him, which he was unsuccessful in doing. Gohan had teleported to a different spot, and Cell was left standing there, in front of the group that Mr. Satan was standing nearby. All of them screamed at the sight of monster nearby them. However, Cell was only interested in finding Gohan. Once he had found him floating in the sky, he teleported up to him.

In the background, you could see one of Mr. Satan's students, Caroni, running away from the scene.

"HEY! Lets get out of here Piroshki! I'll simply die if I lose anymore teeth." You could hear him say faintly as he continued to run. Piroshki stood frozen at his spot, shaking uncontrollably.

"I CAN'T.. MOVE MY LEGS!" He told Caroni.

Gohan and Cell both charged at each other, and struck punches, all of which hit each others fists. This continued on for some minutes. The students could not see anything but explosions, as they were moving too fast for the human eye. Then, Gohan flew down to the ground, in front of Piroshki, who was cowering on the ground and covering his head with his hands. He looked up and saw the face of the supposed Delivery Boy. Then he heard the screams from Cell.

"YOU'RE MINE!" He heard. Piroshki let out a faint scream of help, thinking that it was going to be his final seconds of life. A huge ball of explosion was seen as the mountains were destroyed. Cell was standing there, fist impaled to the ground. However, there were no sign of Gohan or Mr. Satan's student, Piroshki. The angry Cell looked up and saw Piroshki being dropped to the ground up on a cliff, where Caroni, the reporter, and the cameraman.

"GRRR.. HOW DID HE DO THAT?"

Gohan floated to the ground and back in front of Cell, who flew up to the sky. A loud scream was heard from Cell and Gohan charged to the sky, going after Cell.

Cell saw this as a chance to attack and tried his best to hit Gohan, but none of his attempts were successful. Gohan had dodged each and every single attack with ease, not even saying a word or breaking a sweat.

"WHY DO MY PUNCHES ALWAYS MISS YOU!" Cell yelled, still trying to hit Gohan. Then, he had Gohan backed into a large boulder.

"ENOUGH OF THIS!" He said before throwing his arm back and punching with all of his might. He had managed to hit something, but not Gohan. The large boulder crumbled into pieces from Cell's punch. Gohan was up high in the sky, once again looking down at Cell, who was also in the air. Then, before anyone could even think, Gohan was standing right there in front of Cell.

One wide eyed student decided to break the silence in the gymnasium.

"H-h... H... H... How did he.." Was all he could say as he kept stuttering.

Like the students, Cell was shocked that Gohan had gotten in front of him so fast. No words could be explained for how fast he was. Cell quickly got out of his shock and reverted back to his anger. He started to power up as he grunted. With one scream, a huge white light covered the entire screen that showed the video. Then, after the light was gone, smoke covered the entire area that Cell and Gohan were at. Gohan floated down to the ground, along with Cell following.

"Don't get too confident. For I have yet to show you young warrior what I am truly capable of. But you will soon see enough." Cell said to Gohan.

"Can it." Gohan told Cell, who was absolutely stunned at what he just heard. Then, he smirked.

"Ah. A cheeky one."

"Well then, lets see how you fair against me when I fight at full strength!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Cell began to scream. A golden aura was visible around Cell as he started to power up to his maximum. The heavy winds returned once more, almost as heavy as the winds that Gohan had made when he powered up. The ground shook along with the camera as Cell's scream echoed. The winds grew even stronger and now, Cell was engulfed in a huge white light. Then, the light exploded. When the smoke cleared, Cell was revealed to the public. He was more buff and stood up taller now. It was similar to when Gohan powered up, only without the hair.

Cell had expected the boy to have some type of fear when he felt his power rise tremendously. What he did not get was fear. Instead, Gohan stood there, almost looking uninterested. This sent Cell into a mixture of anger and even terror. Shaking out of these emotions, faster than anyone could even think, Cell punched Gohan in the face. Many gasps from the students were heard as Cell moved quicker than they had even thought of. Cell smiled as he thought that he had inflicted some sort of damage to Gohan. But like before, his smile faded as Gohan turned to Cell, angry and unharmed.

As Cell went for another punch, Gohan struck. He quickly punched Cell in the stomach, causing the monster to stagger back and hold his stomach in pain. After recovering, Cell went for another attack on Gohan, but was punched in the face, which sent him flying backwards. Cell struggled to get up as the pain from being punched in the stomach kept sending him back down on the ground.

"THIS.. CAN'T BE." Cell said, green blood running down his nose and his mouth.

"HE.. ONLY HAD.. TWO PUNCHES ON ME.. SO WHY AM I... SO DAMAGED?" Cell could not take the pain. He thrashed his head backwards and forward as the pain grew.

The students cheered Gohan on, figuring that since Cell wasn't doing anything, it would mean that Cell probably gave up. Gohan ignored all of the attention and the "congratulations" that the people around him were giving him. He stared blankly at the screen, the smile he once had when he was watching himself fight Cell earlier on gone. This was only the beginning of the pain that Gohan would experience.
