Perhaps I was a bit unclear as to the setting of the story. This takes place after Broly: Second Coming, where he is killed by the combined efforts of Goku, Gohan, and Goten (and even Trunks to a point). I really despised the Bio-Broly movie so I'll be pretending that Bio-Broly never happened. Anyway, onto Chapter 2.

P.S. A shoutout to my first reviewers, thanks for the positive feedback!

Frieza was feeling very conflicted. On one hand, his pride and arrogance were ordering him to stand his ground, assuring him that he could take this upstart Saiyan on with little effort. On the other hand, his self-preservation instincts were screaming at him to flee as fast as he could. The former tyrant lizard had grown complacent in HFIL, with only Cell to rival his power. Strangely, though thought to be dead, his brother Cooler had never shown himself in HFIL, if he had ever arrived at all. All of his complacency had been because he had assured himself that he was safe from the likes of Goku…never had he imagined that a Super Saiyan would wind-up here! Goku had declared himself "Ally to Good," so Frieza had naturally assumed that ALL such Super Saiyans were goody-two-shoes (it amused him to place Vegeta in that category). But to have a Super Saiyan in Hell…the implications inherent were frightening.

Cell, at first stunned by Broly's declaration, began to laugh in disbelief. Broly, for his part, remained unperturbed simply standing there, confident in his abilities as ever. Now that he was no longer plagued by the bout of insanity that had been his undoing, he knew that there was very little he could not do…besides defeating Kakarot. His pride still smarted after his defeat, not once but TWICE at Kakarots hands...but that score would soon be settled. He returned his attention to the mottled green figure and purple-white lizard standing before him. "Do you find your impending death so amusing?" he asked. "It must be nice to have such fatalistic sense of humor." Cell grinned at Broly, "Oh I'm not laughing at your insignificant threats, I'm laughing at your sheer audacity. To think, that you have the gall to challenge me, the perfect being! You, Broly, have no idea what you are facing! You may be a Super Saiyan, but such beings are beneath my perfection! Not even the mighty Goku could defeat me!"

At the mention of Goku, Broly's confident smirk disappeared, his body going rigid. "…did you just say…Goku?" he asked quietly. Cell's smile only grew at Broly's sudden change in mood. "Oh yes! The powerful Super Saiyan Goku was nothing compared to me! I killed him as easily as a fly! In fact-". Cell had absolutely no warning as Broly's hair stood up on end and turned gold, with his aura exploding around him as he vanished and phased in front of the android, plowing his knee into Cell's gut. Cell gasped as the air was forced out of him, forcing him to stagger back a step. Before he could do anything else, Broly had him by the throat and brutally rammed him into the ground with enough force to create a house-sized crater. Cell found himself staring at Broly as the latter glared down with eyes as cold as ice. The saiyan spoke with a voice quivering with surpressed rage. "Where. Is. KAKAROT?" He emphasized the question by applying more pressure on Cell's throat, drawing an involuntary gurgle from the android, who said "Weren't you listening you imbecile? I killed him. That means he's in Otherworld, training I would imagine. But I wouldn't worry about him. You should be more worried about ME!" Cell accentuated this by blasting Broly away with a quick burst of his aura. Broly sailed off about 20 feet before he halted himself in mid-air.

Cell was livid. How did I let the nuisance get the drop on me? HOW?, he thought to himself. He glanced furiously at Frieza before returning his attention to his adversary. I'll deal with that coward later. The fool didn't bother lifting finger because he's too busy quivering. Cell adopted his power-up stance as he said, "I will now show you power beyond your understanding. Know fear fool. Know my PERFECTION!" As Cell began to power up, the ground started to tremble and the mountains shook as lightning erupted from Cell's aura. He screamed as his power peaked and a pillar of lightning shot skyward into the harsh yellow sky, unknowingly attracting the attention of many other residents of HFIL. Cell stared down his opponent and smirked. "Not quite what you expected, hmm? Take a good look because you will never see a power quite like mine. I am perfect! The ultimate being!"

Broly guffawed once and said, "If you're so mighty, then how did you end up here?" Cell's smirk vanished instantly and his eyes went wide with rage. Broly smiled cruelly and added, "I wasn't really impressed by the light show. If I had wanted a fireworks display, I would have gone to an amusement park." He said in a mocking tone. He folded his arms and went on, "But since I'm stuck here with you, I might as well have a little fun. I expect a challenge from the one who claims to have killed Kakarot." Then Broly lifted his head towards the sky and began to raise his power level, accentuating his rise in power with a cry that continued to increase in volume and pitch until his power matched that of Cell's. All the while, others had arrived and were watching the stand-off from a distance; among the spectators were the members of the Ginyu Force (minus Ginyu himself) Salza from Cooler's Armoured Squad, Zarbon, Dodoria, Appule, and many others besides. For most of them, there was nothing else to do, so they gathered around for a good show, some even placing bets. Frieza had discreetly managed to blend in with the growing crowd and he paused a good distance away. He decided he would see what this Saiyan had to offer, not knowing that he already rivaled Cell in strength.

Cell and Broly stood facing each other for another few seconds...then Broly made the first move, flying directly at Cell, right arm already pulled back in preparation for a blow. Cell countered by crossing his arms and taking the hit on his crossed arms. The resulting shockwave created another crater, this one at least 12 feet deep, and 3 times as wide. They stayed there for a moment, measuring their strength against each other. Then they both vanished, the only sign of their progress was a series of rippling shockwaves that riddled the air as the two exchanged a flurry of blows. Suddenly Broly managed to get behind Cell and grabbed the android around his mid-riff. He plunged towards the ground with Cell in his grip, reaching terminal velocity, then just before impact, he let go of Cell and stopped himself, allowing the android to plow into the ground headfirst. Broly floated back up into the sky, awaiting his opponents' inevitable reappearance. A beam of yellow light abruptly burst from Cell's furrow and burned its way towards Broly. The super saiyan merely leaned out of its way and let the beam continue onwards, where it flew out of sight. Cell then used Instant Transmission to get behind Broly and appeared behind him, both arms already raised for an overhead strike. Broly sensed him and quickly turned around, but failed to stop the blow from landing. Cell's attack sent Broly plowing his way underground, which Cell followed up with a quick and powerful energy blast. The blast demolished a quarter-mile radius leaving a large crater in the ground.

When a few moments passed and there was no retaliation, Cell chuckled and dusted his hands off against each other. "Well, I guess that's that. Now for Frieza…" He twisted in mid-air, searching for the alien overlord, when the sound of shifting rock reached his audio receptors. He looked back towards the crater and spied a series of cracks radiating out from Broly's point of entry, followed by an explosion as Broly re-emerged. The super saiyan was grinning from ear-to-ear as he shot into the sky, and soon he was far above Cell. He peered mercilessly down at the android and said, "Not bad Cell. Not bad at all actually, but still not quite enough. Let me show you how it's really done!" As Broly spoke he slowly held his left arm away from his body. Suddenly the surrounding area was bathed in a green light, accompanied by a high pitched scree-ing sound. The light contracted to a single, tiny point in Broly's hand; which he squeezed, creating a noticeable ball of energy. The air hummed with an almost magnetic whine that belied the power residing in the small green sphere, no larger than a softball. "Here," Broly yelled, "Catch!" And with that he flung the energy ball directly at Cell. Cell gritted his teeth together as he prepared himself to meet the blast…then remembered too late what had happened the last two times he had attempted to meet such an attack. As the ball made contact with his outstretched hands, it pushed him downwards, towards the ground rather quickly. Despite his best efforts, Cell could not slow himself enough to prevent himself from hitting the ground, but he used the ground beneath him to anchor himself against the attack. It seemed that he would be able counter Broly's attack…until the sphere detonated. The blast consumed everything within a mile of the epicenter, leaving a large, smooth crater about half as deep. Everything was still as the wind blew across the devastated landscape, not a whisper was uttered from the spectators as HFIL bore witness to Cell's seeming demise. The silence was sundered by Broly as he began to laugh in sadistic delight. "I guess he couldn't catch the ball. That was pretty short-lived. What a pity…I guess I'll have to find another playmate." He began to search the crowd for someone to fight him next and spotted Frieza amidst the rabble. He chuckled in suppressed merriment. "Oh yes, of course, the little girl. Or is it a boy? I guess I'll go ask." He began to slowly descend…
