Chapter 10 : Fight, for what?
Zangya didn't wanting to play…! She started hard from the beginning of the match between her and Cell. His opposing defend himself the best he could, but he realized the woman was more powerful than he could think.
She struck the air more than him, but he took two hits on his right shoulder, and he realized he will be less powerful from this arm if he tried to counterattack.
Frieza watched all the fight without comment. A lot of the fans of the green monster were deprived to see their hero who didn't show off his power.
"… You know… You maybe should attack, you too, Cell!" explained the animator, who didn't like the way the fight took.
He was pay if the crowd loved the competition… He will not be in his money if everybody in the tier asks him for being reimburse.
"…" replied only Cell, doing his best, Zangya, angry from the situation, tried to making upset his opposing and gave him bad blows.
Cooler stared the friend of his little brother, grimacing and feeling pity for his pal.
"How dare he could act so weak…? And Frieza is in the crowd… I will never more lose my time for people like him! Frieza could go to hell! My partner is the best of the universe…!" said for himself the prince, walking by the side of Broly, who were standing in the frame of the exit, staring too Cell.
"… He don't use all his strength… and he didn't try to punch her…" said the Saiyan, Cooler sighing.
"I don't care! He could lose stupidly if he wants!"
"… But his sons are in the tier…!" suddenly replied Broly, his interest perturbed Cooler.
"… What are you concern about it?"
"… Cell is… a good father… Not like mine, who manipulates me all my live…! And my one race tried to kill me…! But Cell takes care of these children… Same he went to a stupid contest, he lets them guarding by his best friend… You do the same at his place… no?" asked seriously Broly, Cooler feeling freezing from the inside.
"… Right…! I will talk with my bro, for seeing if… he could do something for helping… his friend…!" said Cooler, didn't know what to do else, making smile his pal.
During this time, the white tyrant closed his eyes. To see his friend being treated like a looser… by a girl…! This was more than he could take! Him who was stronger than him!
"… That's ridiculous! How could he let a girl smash him like that? In public! That's shameful!" suddenly said King Cold, angry, before to became calm and affable. "Frieza, I got to a pub, two street of here! I have lose too much of my time already, and I see only 5 minutes ago a wonderful girl who gave me a very bad look… and she was closing her dress on her! I think she's maybe interest to know me better! So, don't try to see me for the future hours!"
"… Okay, father…!" replied Frieza, ashamed of thinking this was the girl to whom he stole the dress.
He saw his father went away, who smiling. Finally, his attention fell back on Cell and his moral wasn't better than before…! He was more and more injured! If this fight continued, Cell could be beat by this simple girl!
Cell Jr were stressing too, feeling how bad this was for their father. The number one turned his face to his uncle, who started again to close their eyes.
"… Uncle…?" he asked, sad for his father but more anxious about the reaction of his parent, with who he talked.
"Yeah, what?" replied the tyrant, tried his best for forget the loss of his comrade.
"Could you…? Could you help him? Please?" continued the little blue guy, all their brothers stared their uncle, full of hope.
"… Have you lost your heads? If I help him, he will lose the competition more fast than what he did now…! And… Why I will do that? I mean… He's only a fool who don't tried nothing against a opposing… Maybe she's at last, equal by speed… maybe by strong… Same if that look impossible! But same if this was the situation… he should be able to win… He's the second stronger demon of this world… I respected him…! He can't lose…! Not when he decided to win…! But that's not what he haves in his mind now…!" he explained, at staring his friend, kicked in the face by this wonderful monster.
"… I don't care how he feels now! I will ask again this question…!" replied an insolent voice.
"I already said…!" started Frieza, angry, before to open his eyes and saw his brother.
He thought for a moment this was a dream.
"… You?" he said, surprised.
"… That's not what you think!" replied Cooler, blushing a little. "But seeing kids sad because of their stupid father… That's not good… same for demons like you…!"
Cell Jr stared the big bro of their uncle, and for the first time, they were bond of the violet monster. Frieza couldn't believe his brother change idea, and looked him like he was trying a bad trick on him. Cooler tried to explain his sudden act of sympathy.
"I don't have change my idea…! I thought before our comrade could only being our slaves…! But… I realize… I don't want to see Broly angry at me… His story with his father wasn't cool, so… He convinces me to ask you for changing the situation of this stupid fight. I don't know why I do that exactly. This is like we were…"
"You think… You love him…?" asked the number six, Cooler blushing more and Frieza doing big eyes.
"… like your boyfriend?" continued the number one, so rebel.
Frieza lost his color and Cooler started to growl like a bulldog, so angry, so insulted…! A dark violent cloud appears under his head, flash of lightning zapping the sky, people who were around moved backwards, scaring.
"… I… want to say… good friend! Only good friend! Do you understand other thing, Uncle Cooler?" tried the terrified little demon, all their brother showing gentle and scared smile for calming down this monster, foul of temper.
The violet tyrant heard this and he waited a moment for realized it was not lye… These monstrous children called him "Uncle"… The dark cloud moved away. In a back corner of his soul, he felt happy and so honor to be call like that… After all he did to them and their "babysitter"…! But he woke up really fast and cleared one's throat.
"All right, let's forget the whole business… But for Cell, Frieza, I'm serious. You should act now, before he takes the last punch what made him lose this competition!
"… Yeah, maybe, but how?" cry back the little brother, feeling so depress and, for this time, powerless.
But suddenly, an idea appeared in his head. This was quite simple, really simple. Surely it will not work…! But it will be all right to try…! At least, this will be not so shameful than take a dress and disguise himself to a girl! He explained his plan to Cell Jr, and they were really enthusiasm about it. They started on the go to accomplish it, with the help of the not so helpful Cooler.
At last, he fell on the ground… He tried to come back on his feet but this was so hard…!
His back killed him and he added difficulty to breath! Zangya stared him, showing more pity than sadness.
"How, that's all you can do? Really…?" she said, with a sarcastic tone.
"… Finish it, you little…!" replied Cell, feeling so weak face to her.
How dared she use him like that? That wasn't because he couldn't punch her because she was beautiful, she looked fragile and, at last, his heart dancing the samba in his perfect body when he saw her… That were not good reasons for beat him like a tragic hero who loses all his power…!
The ground was cold and cracked under him. That will be only what it will rest of him… A cold and cracked heart, who started to love the wrong person…!
He closed his eyes when he saw Zangya raised her hand in the sky, before the last and final attack. He heard something strange. Not the punch, not more his blood flowed on the floor…! He heard something like… voice. Many voice what called his name!
"Cell…! Cell…! Cell…!"
He opened his eyes, and what did he saw…? His children in the tier, calling him, at were waving their hand for encouraging him.
"My little monster… How could I forget you all, for a short moment?" he thought, touching.
But suddenly, when he noticed the one with a placard were this was marking "CELL", with a writing a little shivering, like for young writer, he felt like his head going to exploded.
"How… dare you… FRIEZAAAAAAAAAAA!" the man on the ground cry out, jumping on his feet and opening his arms in his furious state.
Zangya, surprised, catch his fist in the face and she flew thirty meters far away, in the tier.
Cell, who didn't realized what he done, continued to quarreling his "babysitter", who didn't do the job like he inspected.
"How dare you taught something to my children without my consent, Frieza? How dare you make them write if I didn't say they should learn write? How dare you took my position, my role, my state of father with my own children?"
The Cell Jr's guard looked really surprised from the reaction of this pal. How could he imagined his friend will be upset of the "simple things" he taught to their children? Cell Jr were looking a little disturb too.
"… Cell… Maybe, like you say, this wasn't my role to teach them how to read and write number and letters…!"
"WHAT? Because you learn them number too?" cried out the green demon, angry.
The crowd was paralyzing. They didn't know if the fight was finish, if the quarrel with Cell and Frieza was entertaining. The ghost animator decided to take benefit of this situation, playing the "negotiator".
"Cell! You feel really upset of this situation, right?" questioned the ghost, bringing more closely his mike. "Just right now, you think Frieza couldn't be ever you're friend, because he takes advantage of his situation, with your children, because he played more well your title of father, with your own children! Did I have right?"
"Yeah… Yeah! You right, mister "I don't know your name!"! You right! I feel… used…! I feel… ridicule! But more than everything, my back killed me! Argh… my poor back!"
"That's the anger, mister Cell! That's the anger of the betrayal!" continued the little perverted ghost, looking really happy of this situation.
"Wait a minute!" replied Frieza, jumping on his feet, angry of the turning point took the situation. "I never wanted to take the place of Cell! I'm not the father of your children, Cell! They call me "uncle"! And this is because I lov… I appreciate them than I learn to know them better…! And you can't know how I felt when I discover you didn't teach them the simple things of the life…! They same don't know the difference between a man and a woman!"
At this moment, all the people present shut up and Cell felt like all the universe look at him with bad eyes.
"That's true, mister Frieza? I could imagine how surprise you felt so! And that's should be hard for you to stay with little kids who didn't know nothing! Who wasn't educate, who know only devil things and make you the hell a more terrified place than before? Did I have right, Mister Frieza?" asked the animator ghost, letting Cell alone with his shame.
"How did you know that? Anyway…!" continued Frieza, talking in the mike, feeling so well to pour out for all his frustration repressing. "I learn them better and I discover they didn't know how to read, to write… They didn't know how to count themselves! This was inexcusable! I couldn't take this true… Not from my partner, so strong and so perfect…! This man who were able to conquer the world with me and to take care of his family at the same time! Him who I always envy… Him who I wanted to looks like!"
"And so, you feel disgrace, from the only simple way he didn't teach how to read and count to their kids?" replied the ghost, a little serious and a little sarcastic.
"… Not disgracing…! That's too big! No, I was simply alone… with turbulent children who could kill me and who didn't have any education…! And when this Saiyan enter in the apartment…!"
"A Saiyan?" asked the ghost, interesting, the entire crowd tended toward the tyrant, who blushing a lot of his mistake.
"This was nothing! Anyway, I teach the little Cell Jr for theirs owns goods! And they wanted too… If they started to get angry at me… they could kill me easily…! But, that's surprising, they were kind to me…! I didn't find this kind of feeling since so long… And I'm now very proud to be their uncle…!" explained Frieza at looking to the Cell Jr, who were starting to cry, so touching.
"Uuuncle!" did all the blue monsters, jumping on their babysitter, Frieza couldn't do anything else than an "Argh!" of pain in the mike, making laugh the ghost.
Cell walked to them. And he was not looking very happy. All his face was dark and the cloud Cooler product by his last anger jumped on the head of the perfect being. Frieza felt the sparkle and started to shivering, Cell Jr were not comfortable, with this situation really strange… They will not see their father and their uncle start a fight… right?
