Hi! Twelfth chapter! This story is getting so long, but I've read longer! I've read a story that has 24 chapters! (When The Wind Whistles) It is a pretty awesome story! I'm not sure that it's bad to promote other stories, but it is a good story. If you're interested, the story is in my favorites. I uploaded a new picture for the story! It's my idea of what Kairi looks like! Anyway, please read! And, I try not to make Kairi a Mary-Sue!

Last Time,

"Now what makes you think you can stand up against me?!", Cell said, a smirk on his face.

Now,

"The thought of me knowing I can beat you!", Trunks shouted back, going into a battle stance.

Trunks powered up, then rushed at Cell. Trunks and Cell exchanged blows. Cell took the offense, but Trunks still wasn't going to be defeated easily. Trunks was going to punch Cell straight to the face, but Cell after imaged and punched Trunks in the gut. He fell face-first to the ground and skidded a little ways. He got back up, but was forced down again. Trunks got up and rushed towards Cell and sent a flurry of ground trembling Ki blasts at him. After seeing Cell wasn't damaged, Trunks powered up once again.

Elsewhere~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Whoa! There's no storm clouds, but there is a hell of a lot of lightning! I'm glad I'm not a lightning rod right now!", Krillin said.

"Yeah. Do you sense that power? It's amazing! Both Trunks' and Cell's!", Kairi exclaimed, looking back at the battlefield from afar.

Back to the fight~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Trunks was powering up. His hair was reaching record-breaking heights and his muscles were enormous! As soon as Trunks was done powering up, he rushed towards Cell and landed a blow right to his oddly-colored face. An ordinary person might think he was winning, but they're very wrong.

'Damn, why aren't I landing any punches?!', Trunks thought with a determined look on his face.

"You fool! You may think that you'll win, but you win with just brute strength.", Cell said, criticizing Trunks.

W-what?!", Trunks asked, not knowing what Cell meant.

Instead of stopping the fight, Trunks tried to attack, but it was futile. He sent a wave of dynamic punches towards Cell, but he just dodged effortlessly.

"You don't get it do you? You have no chance of beating me! Let me just tell you now you incompetent monkey. You don't have any speed. That little power-up up yours gave you a little power, although still not enough to beat me. But it also took away your speed so you couldn't attack if you wanted to!", Cell said to Trunks.

'Of course, how could I be so stupid?!', Trunks thought.

Trunks powered down to his base form and was letting Cell attack him. Cell raised his arm and formed a yellow Ki blast in the palm of his hand. But let it disappear as quick as it appeared.

"What an interesting predicament, both you and Vegeta managed to disappoint me. I expected more of a challenge from a couple of Super Saiyans. However, there is something I am curious about. I see you're very strong, how did you become so powerful? It's hard to believe you could develop those fighting skills in such a short amount of time. Tell me. How did you do it? What is the secret of your power? Don't want to talk? Well, let me ask you this. If you had more time could you get stronger? Could you?", Cell asking impatiently, still holding his arm up.

"Maybe, what difference would it make now? And why would you even want to know?", Trunks replied. After he did, Cell chuckled.

"Oh, just curious, that's all. Ah, one more question. Where has Goku been? And where has he been hiding?", Cell asked, his face showing a bit of frustration.

"For your information, he's training to defeat you! And make no mistake Cell, he will be the one to beat you! He'll take you no contest!", Trunks said while he rose his fist started shaking.

"No contest? Then, a tournament!", Cell said, smiling at the thought.

"W-what do you mean?", Trunks asked Cell, with a baffled tone. (Sorry about all the dialogue, I now I need to cut down on it, but I can't really think of any other way to explain this stuff!)

Cell chuckled again. "The tournament will begin in ten days! And consider yourself lucky I'm giving you a second chance.", Cell said, still smiling.

"But, what are you talking about?", Trunks questioned, still very confused.

"You really don't know, do you? Long before we existed, there was a competition called 'The World Martial Arts Tournament'. I'm going to revive it, and prove that I have no equal! Each member of your team may challenge me, I will fight them one-on-one and when I win, I will face the next member on your team! Do you understand?" The more fighters you bring, the more chance you have to survive!I have yet to decide on the location of the tournament, so keep an on your television for details!", Cell informed Trunks, sounding a bit arrogant.

"Television?!", Trunks asked Cell, looking at him like he'd grown five heads.

"It shall be very entertaining! *chuckle* Oh, and make sure you bring plenty of those Senzu Beans!", Cell said while turning his back on Trunks.

"Wait! Tell me, what is the real purpose for this tournament? What are you really going to do? Cell, I know what you androids are like, I'm sure this is some sort of a trick! Just a trap to get us all in one place, right?", Trunks asked (again), actually saying a couple of sentences.

"Oh, must you treat everything like it's the end of the world? There is no secret purpose. I simply want to get as much out of this planet as I can before I destroy it. I have proven that I am unstoppable. Neither you or your friends are threats to me now. However, there is one that I want to test my complete power against. I want you to bring me Goku. This tournament is sure to be a guaranteed hit. Everyone will be watching me, I just can wait to see that look of panic and fear! *Sees Trunks's face* That's it! That's the look! Ha ha ha!", Cell, laughed as he flew away. (Bout time we're done with that!)

'That guy has some serious issues.', Trunks thought while staring at the spot where Cell had just flown off to.

He looked over to the sky as he sensed the energy of Krillin and Kairi. His head turned to level view when both people landed.

"Hey! What happened?", Krillin asked as he and Kairi ran over to Trunks.

Trunks told them about the fight with Cell. And the conversation about the tournament.

"You okay?", Kairi asked Trunks as she walked over to his side.

"Uh, yeah. Just out of energy." Trunks replied while smiling.

'I told you I'd be fine.', Trunks thought.

'Oh shut up!', Kairi responded as she playfully punched his arm.

So, the three flew over to the small island were Krillin dropped off Vegeta, who was now conscious and then to Capsule Corp. When Bulma heard that Trunks had fought Cell and was back, she ran over to the living room where Vegeta, Yamcha, Puar, Krillin, Roshi, Chiaotzu, Mrs. and Dr. Briefs, Oolong, Chi-Chi, Kairi, and Trunks were. She looked over to make sure he was okay. Then, Baby Trunks, who was in Bulma's arms, started to pull Future Trunks's purple hair.

"Would you look at that, Trunks is pulling Trunks's hair!", Oolong exclaimed.

"Oh wow! They both have the same name? How odd!", Mrs. Briefs exclaimed also, still not getting that they're the same person, but from a different time-line.

The Next Day~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Roshi and Oolong were huddled by the television, watching the woman's aerobics show, when all of a sudden, a loud boom was heard and there was a bright yellow flash on the screen. The head aerobic teacher was in the middle of one of the exercises when her hands were on Cell's head and she was being lifted up into the air! He grabbed her leg and threw her away from him. He continued flying up until he had reached the news channel.

"It's Cell!", Trunks shouted, turning his head to the television when he heard the ear-splitting bang.

"Greeting Earthlings! I am Cell, although you probably remember me as that monster that was attacking the Earth days prior to now. I will be hosting a tournament, a re-establishment of the old 'World Martial Arts Tournament'. The same rules will be applied. If you land outside the ring, you're disqualified, If I knock you unconscious, you're disqualified. And, if I kill you, you're disqualified. There will be no limit for fighters who wish to participate. Although, the more people there are, the more chance there will be for you and your silly little planet to live. I assure you, I will not harm anyone or any cities during the nine-day waiting period, unless provoked . Oh, and believe me, I have enough strength to wipe out all humanity.", Cell said, broadcasting to the whole world, as he fired a yellow Ki blast at the news room wall, creating a huge hole in it.

"Oh, I almost forgot. The Tournament will be called 'The Cell Games'! Bring as many people as you like! Although, you still won't be able to beat me! See you in nine days!", Cell chuckled as he flew outside, through the exit he had just made.

A shocked Roshi and Oolong were hiding behind the couch while all the fighters were in front of the television, trying to remember what they had just heard.

"We gotta stop him!", Krillin shouted as he ran towards the door.

"Yeah!", Yamcha shouted in agreement.

"Did you two hear him or not?! He said he would attack if he was provoked! Now get over her and stay out!", Vegeta hollered at the two Earthlings who walked walked back to the couch located in the living room.

"Well I don't know about you guys, but I'm gonna go to the lookout to inform the dudes there about this whole mess.", Kairi said as she walked towards the door.

"I'll go with you.", Trunks walked over to Kairi, also seeing that Vegeta was following them.

After noticing the looks he was getting, he stated that was going to spend another day training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. All three of them flew out of Capsule Corp. and to the lookout. After about a half hour of waiting, Vegeta started rambling on about how he was gonna force Goku and Gohan out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Piccolo had informed Vegeta that he would be going next. Vegeta didn't care though, it was none of his concern.

'Well, this is really boring.', Kairi thought.

'Yeah, how long do you think they'll be in there?', Trunks responded.

'I don't know. Like, another hour maybe?', Kairi responded to Trunks.

1 Hour Later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vegeta walked over to the door to the Time Chamber and decided to kick it, trying to signal for the two Saiyans to hurry up. About five minutes later, they finally appeared, battle-worn and Super Saiyans. Goku and Gohan had gone into their normal clothes and had eaten their food while Trunks caught them up on recent events. Goku went to see how powerful Cell was, and came back about ten minutes later, then the two went to Korin to find out if Yajirobe would be competing, which he wasn't. Vegeta, Trunks, and Kairi, much to Vegeta's dismay, had gone back into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train for a whole year again, to become even stronger.

Yay! I'm done! I'm truly sorry about all the dialogue, but I like dialogue in my stories. Um, if you could review that would be great! OH! I also have a POLL up on my profile, if you could contribute to that too, it would be amazing! See ya! Bye!
