Chapter 10: Cell's Revenge

Gohan's P.O.V

I had enough of watching Cell murdering all of those innocent people. Angry, I stood up and was about to go face the deadly android but was held back. I looked down to see Tania holding a tight grip onto my arm.

"You can't go! Did you see what he did to all those people?!" She asked with worry in her dark brown eyes.

It surprised me that she actually was worried about me. Just a while ago she seemed very angry, but now it looks like she got over whatever I did to make her act that way.

"Don't worry, i'll be back!" I promised, smiling.

"No Gohan! That monster said that he was much stronger this time! I heard you say that you killed him once, but as you can see he's still alive!" Tania argued, still holding onto my arm.

She really is stubborn..

I listened to what Yamcha said to her. Yamcha's wrong! Cell is insanely powerful, I'm not sure i'll be able to defeat him this time. Father, what would you do?

"Well if you're going Gohan, i'm coming with you!" Tania says.

Immediately, I turned back around, changing my attitude along with it.

"No, your staying here Tania! It's too dangerous for you to come with us!" I demanded.

There was no way I was going to let her come along. What if things went south? Tania could be killed! I don't want that to ever happen. She's too important to me! She has to live!

She continued to try and talk me out of it. I didn't listen and gently pulled her against me then securely wrapped her in my arms.

"I care about you Tania, I don't want you to get hurt. Please stay here for me, okay?"

I could sense how she feels about me whenever I would show some sort of affection towards her. However, she won't admit how she feels, but maybe she just doesn't know how she feels yet. I grinned as she hugged me back. I wanted to protect her and everyone else too.

"Alright love birds, if you can even remember, Cell's back!" Krillin reminds us with annoyance in his voice.

"We're not love birds!" Tania yells.

I cocked my head to the side thinking that she'll get in a bad mood all over again. She's pretty scary when she has her spatula and frying pan out...

"Why is it so hard for you to admit your in love?" Krillin asked. I saw that she was blushing which made me look away slightly blushing a little too.

"Okay lets get going, before Cell starts killing even more defenseless people!" I ordered. I waved to Tania then raced to the area where Cell said he'll be. The others followed closely behind.

Upon arriving at the city that was massacred, we descended to the ground, on the lookout for Cell's ki.

"Hello Gohan, it's been a long time." A cold dark voice says.

I turned around to see the very same android I had killed three years ago.

"Cell, why are you here?! I thought I got rid of you for good!" I spat while clenching my fist. Cell's energy was strong, very strong! The others soon came to aid me in battle.

"It seems that you're all here."

Cell then looked at Trunks and smirked. "Trunks, they must've wished you back with the dragonballs?"

"Of course they did! Unfortunately for you though Cell, you won't be getting so lucky." Trunks sneered, already getting into a fighting stance.

"I don't see Vegeta anywhere, he must be afraid to face the ultimate perfection. And for Goku, well, I killed him! Of course, I couldn't have done that if it weren't for you, Gohan." Cell chuckled.

I began to think back to the Cell Games. It was my fault that father died, I letted my powers take control of me. Because of my cockiness, dad died..

"Shut up, Cell! Just tell us how you survived my kamehameha wave!" I demanded.

"Eternal helped me. You see, after your blast, one cell survived, but it was too weak to regenerate itself so it started to die. That's when Eternal found me and rebuilt me. She made me even more stronger than that fool, Dr. Gero couldn't ever dream of accomplishing!" Cell laughed.

Eternal? Who is she?

"You don't mean that Eternal, do you?!" Piccolo asked wide-eyed. Cell nodded, leaving Piccolo trembling in fear.

"Who's Eternal?" Krillin wanted to know. If that name made even Piccolo frightened, then we're in big trouble.

"Eternal was a saiyan goddess who did everything she could to keep everyone in the universe safe from those who dared threatened to destroy it. She lived long before even the first super saiyan was born. It was said that her strength is second to none, making her the strongest warrior to ever exist. One day she met a man named Thornkin, who would challenge her to a death match. Everytime she would win, but she refused to kill him even though his heart was filled with evil. Overtime, they eventually felled in love with each other but in the end, Thornkin betrayed and slaughtered her."

Trunks, Krilin, Yamcha, Tien and I were in utter awe and disbelief.

"She was a saiyan goddess?!" Tien and Yamcha ask at the same time.

"I still am!" A females voice says from above.

We all looked above to see a beautiful young girl with long silver hair and blue eyes. She descended to the ground next to Cell then gave us a cold stare.

"W-Wow! She's a beauty!" Krillin drooled.

"Look you guys, her tail, it's white!" I point out while the others watched her carelessly swing her tail around everywhere.

"I-It can't be! That's her?!" Piccolo announced.

"Eternal?" I ask. Piccolo nodded.

"That's not possible! I thought you said she died, Piccolo!" Yamcha thought with a nervous tone in his voice.

"I thought she did! Looks like I was mistaken."

"Are you going to be talking all day or do I have to take care of them all by myself?" She asks as she began to warm up her body.

"It doesn't matter to me, as long as I get to kill Gohan." Cell decided.

"Fine, i'll let you have fun with the boy." Eternal agreed. She then proceeded to motion the others to come after her.

"LETS GO!" Piccolo shouted to the others as he rushed over to her, his fist clenched and his expression filled with determination.

Eternal stepped over to the right, avoiding Piccolo's punch then swiftly kicked him into a building. Trunks then turned to a ascended super saiyan and proceeded to try and punch her in the face. He landed a perfect hit on her but it didn't even have any effect on her.

"Pathetic." She says as she grabbed onto his arm and tossed him in the air before sending an energy blast straight at him..

"Trunks! Piccolo!" I yelled out to my friends as they layed half conscious. I tried to fly to help my friends, but felt as Cell held onto my leg.

"Your fight is with me!" Cell yelled as he threw me hard onto the ground. I got back up and turned to the form that I used to kill the android. "Lets see how much you improved from last time."

Cell came at me full speed with a series of kicks and punches. I tried blocking, and dodging his attacks but to no avail, Cell was much to fast. With one last hook, Cell sended me through a few buildings.

"If you just give up right now, i'll make this quick and less painful" Cell offered laughing.

I didn't reply, and picked myself out the building. I have to admit, Cell just might be as strong as me now, but I still have to try and defeat him like I did three years ago. He had a brutal onslaught of hooks, but if my theory is correct, I may be able to counter attack. I dashed at him and as soon as I was close enough Cell tried his hooks and kicks again. I quickly ducked and blocked his right.

I knew it, he might be fast, but his moves are predictable. When Cell tried another hook, I saw my chance and grabbed his arm then kicked his neck. He smashed threw some trees but then caught himself and smirked.

"That was a free kick." Cell said, surprising me.

"Your bluffing!"

"Why don't you try and find out for yourself." He suggested.

I charged at him and attempted to throw a fast jab only for Cell to dodge to the left. Throwing a left hook, the android ducked and chopped me on my back. I tried to counter with a roundhouse kick, but Cell swiftly jabbed me in the stomach. On the ground I gasped for air. Cell REALLY is strong!

"Gohan, you've gotten weaker, I don't know why you even try to fight me." Cell said as he walked over to me and picked me up by my hair. I hit his hand away and threw a ki blast directly at his face. When the smoke cleared, Cell's head was still intact. Not even a scratch!

"If you were trying to kill me with that blast, you should have used a more powerful blast."

"It was worth a try!" I say getting back into my stance.

The android jumped into the air and came back down with powerful kicks and punches. I managed to block most of them. On the last two, I blocked one, but Cell did a fast roundhouse kick right above my left ear. I stepped back and felt something coming down my ear. I threw my hand over the blood that was dripping down my ear. That kick was so fast I didn't even see the power behind it!

Cell then charged at me once again and threw a high kick at my face. I quickly jumped back and raised my right leg in the air, and blocked with my ankle. I looked down and saw that my ankle was bleeding. Man, those kicks are deadlier than they look! I got back up, but pain shot through my whole right leg when I stood. I don't think i'll be able to use it at this point. Despite the pain, I continued standing. This pain, I never thought so much pain could come from one kick!

"Ka..me...ha...me..." I cupped my hands at my side and thrusted them forward towards Cell.

"HAAA!"

I couldn't see my opponent through the thick smoke. Where did he go?

Suddenly a strong hand grabbed me by the throat and raised me into the air. Cell chuckle echoed throughout my head like a loud yell in the mountains. Cell put out his index finger, and a purple ball was on it. I couldn't block or counter it!

"Final Flash"

Without warning a powerful blast hit Cell and he released me out of his grip. I gasped for air and looked up in the air to see that Vegeta was the one who saved me.

"Vegeta!"

He looked down at me and smirked. The last time I saw him was when I defeated Cell..

Unfortunately, Cell got back up, but this time part of his body was completely gone. I guess since he lowered his guard Vegeta was able to do some damaging.

As Vegeta and I powered up maximum, we combined our ultimate attacks and attempted to finish Cell off for good. Just then, Eternal appeared right in front of him and took on the full blast. We waited for the smoke to clear and saw that she was badly hurt.

"Don't get cocky.." She says as me and Vegeta thought we had a chance of defeating them.

"I lowered my defense immensely so that I wasn't the only one who's gravely injured." She informed us.

"What do you mean?!" Vegeta yelled, preparing another energy blast. She then looked at me and had a evil looking smirk forming on her face.

"Gohan, if my life is fading away, her life must be doing the same right now." She laughed as she held onto her arm and collapsed onto her knees.

"Wait, don't tell me you're talking about-"

"Tania? Yes I am." She answered as her and Cell transported somewhere else.

Suddenly I can feel as Tania's life force was fading at the same pace as Eternal's. How come I didn't feel her life force sooner?

"Vegeta, i'm sorry, but I need to go!" I apologized, rushing back to Kame House.

"Gohan here."

Vegeta threw something at me and I caught it. It was two senzu beans, but I threw one back at him since I knew that each bag of beans Korin gives us is about six in all.

"Give this one to the others, they need it more than I do!" I ordered.

Now with one bean, I flown full speed to Kame House so that I could give this one to Tania. You better still be alive when I get there! Don't you die on me!
