Back at capsule corp yet again, the two people, on earth, with the most knowledge of what was now happening to the planet stood over a crystal ball, The taller of the two sitting on the ground with their hand over her chest.
Bulma briefs began chuckling after let out a letting out a sigh of relief "Haha, thank goodness, now that Trunks is there I'm sure this will be over in no time."
"Hmm, yes, Trunks does seem to be quite confident, but I'm not so sure Krillin wouldn't have been able to handle this creature, either." Baba said keeping her eyes on the ac.
"Oh, come on Baba, I know Krillin's strong now, I mean he did beat those Androids, but...with that creature's power...well I'm just glad we have a Super Saiyan here again."
"Hmm, maybe it will be for the best if the living take over now." Baba muttered, as she let out a sigh.
Back in the rocky planes the teenage super saiyan took his attention off of the falling remands of the bio-android for a few seconds to go check on the fallen warrior who had landed on the top of a plateau, asking after he flew down next to him "Krillin? Are you alright?"
"Yeah ... I'm...okay." Krillin said as he opened just one of his eyes, and smiled at the half-saiyan "It's harder than think to kill a dead man."
"Hehe, That's good I guess," Trunks said with a light chuck "Thanks for coming back and trying to deal with the Androids."
"Yeah, someone had to, we all thought you weren't coming back." Krillin said struggling to keep his eye open.
"Yeah, that's what mom said," Trunks said as he turned away from Krillin when heard the sound of Cell regenerating his upper half "But, we'll figure out how that happened later. First I'm going to have to take care of Cell."
"Yeah, go ahead and save the day Trunks." Krillin said letting out a sigh, letting his eye close again. "Thanks, alot."
"Yeah? Right." Trunks said as he floated towards Cell, giving Krillin a confused look, as he transformed into his ascended form.
"No, this isn't right," Cell said angrily, dashing forward to start attack the super saiyan, who was effortlessly dodging the unperfected android "I was so close to become perfect. You never would even laid of finger on me if I had finished absorbing the androids."
"You're right, I wouldn't have! In fact I didn't" Trunks said as he grabbed hold of Cell's wrists, and snapping him like he would a towel before slamming him onto the ground, bringing him up in the air again and slamming him down on the ground over and over again "But as long you're only in this form I'll be able to defeat you no problem.".
"You talk as though you've seen. How is that possible?" Cell questioned, once Trunks let him go, barely able to get onto his hands and knees.
"Because I have, you from a different time came to past, you were well above me in Strength. And a lot of people died before we could to defeat you!"
"If that's true, then I must obtain it all the more!" Cell yell out, bringing his hand up to his hands up to the sides of his face shout out "Solar Fla-
"Not this time Cell!" Trunks yelled out and punching Cell in the face before could have finished the technique, knocking Cell onto his back. The ascended super saiyan then grab hold of the creature tail, preparing to throw the creature to the ground.
However the tail ended up tugging him forward, throwing the teen warrior off balance as the bio-android brought his fist forward knocking the super saiyan aside, as he made his way towards where he had seen the other android fall..
"What," Trunks said confused but quickly made his way back to Cell, kicking Cell with both feet in the center of his his back, knocking the creature towards the ground.
Upon impact with the ground Cell brought his tail up in an attempt to stab the saiyan in the back, but was sneak attack was blocked by the teen warrior who then forced the tail into its own leg causing the engineered being cry out in pain "Gah!"
Trunks got off his back then kicking him just off the ground with his left leg before kicking him back the way he had come with a kick from his right.
"Grr, how could you possible get this strong?" Cell asked as he gained control of his flight, his feet sliding across the ground, then with a slight grunt of pain he pulled his tail from his own body.
Trunks then dashed forwards to punch the android yet, his eye widening in shock as the green hybrid blocked his fist, and widen even more as he blocked the follow up attack from his other fist.
.
The saiyan and the android then began to power up further, both of them trying to push the other back and forth the ground beneath them falling in on itself from their clashing powers.
"It look's like I need to be asking you that, you're almost as strong as me now." Trunks said before he actually started pushing the Android back again, adding with a smirk "Almost!"
"I'm glad to hear you say that Trunks," Cells grunted out in annoyance before he shifted his footing and halted the backwards movement, the Bio-Android's muscles suddenly expanding "Because I've been holding back!"
"What!?" Trunks gasped out as Cell forced his arms apart, quickly bringing his head forward to bash his head against Trunks' repeatable.
The android suddenly let go of the half-saiyans hands, and punched him in the gut, followed by two quick punches to his face
Trunks finally brought his hands up and began to deflect the green and black creature punches, each impact causing a loud explosion of energy and sound, each one destroying a patch of ground a short distance away.
"Just get out of my way!" Cell yelled out his as he brought his hands up over his head and crashed them down upon the super saiyan, forcing him down onto his knees, then repeated the action only for Trunks to roll sideways out of the way.
"Not as long as I'm still alive!" Trunks yelled out, as he raised his hands above his head; golden energy appearing between his hands before he through the energy at the monster "Finish Buster!"
Cell quickly turned and raised his hands in front of himself catching the blast, the wave of energy pushing him back a few yards before he eventually managed to stop the backwards movement "Then just die! Kame-"
"What-No...grr, that form might still be useless, but it's my last chance" Trunk said before he began powering up again, his power rising dramatically as his muscles began to expand, his eyes glazing over.
"-Hame-" The creature continued to shout, before the blue energy shot out of his feet forcing both Cell and the large and the ball of energy towards the half-saiyan as he shouted the last syllable " Ha!"
"What! From the feet!" Trunks gasped out, as his pupils came back, losing all of his muscle mass, not only losing the progress towards the hyper transformation but his ascended form as well as his own blast came crashing down onto him.
As soon as the ball of energy made impact with the teenager, Cell cut off the blast from his feet and instantly took off into the air to outrun the explosion of energy that followed it.
"That was a close one." Cell said as he looked down at his hands, and the burned mess that were there. Growling in annoyance Cell grabbed hold of both of his wrist to tearing off his useless hands, flexing them when he grew back a new pair before he started to lower himself down to the half saiyan that was left in a crater from the explosion, his hair having lost its golden glow.
Trunks tried to force himself up slowly, lose dirt falling from his body as he began to pull himself out of the ground.
"This has been, fun, Trunks," Cell said as he pick up the warrior up by the back of his neck and slammed him back into the ground "And while I'd love to test out my perfection later on you later, you've become too much of a hindrance to that goal to let you live even a second longer."
"Well you don't have to worry about that now!" a voice ran from behind a large rock a short distance from the two beings with saiyan DNA, Android 17 dragging himself towards cell with his one hand and arm. "That Android you were looking for has come to hunt you down!"
"Ah, brother, good-" Cell starting to say but was cut off before he could say anything more.
"I'm not your brother!" 17 yelled out, glaring at the bio-android "The only things connecting me and you are the piece of me you stole."
"Don't be like that, 17, come, join our sister within me so that I'll be able to achieve my perfection like our father always wanted." Cell said as he dropped the half saiyan.
"Like I'd even do anything that man wanted," 17 said as his eyes began to glow red.
"What are you doing, brother." Cell said glaring at black haired young man, as his body parts began to expand, and he began to back away from the Android..
"I told you already, we're not related, but there is a connection." 17 said as his eyes opened wider "Those, parts of me you absorbed contained a bomb, lets see if you can take it!"
"What!? No!" Cell yelled out as his body continued to expand "Don't do this...if this kills me you'll definitely be destroyed too...Just let me absorb you and you'll be able to exist forever!"
"Tsk, trapped inside you forever, I'd rather be dead!" 17 yelled out as white light began to seep from the bio-androids body as quick small beams before his full body began expanding once more and Cell exploded in a blinding flash of golden light.
The resulting explosion sending both the beaten super saiyan and the powerful android flying back in the same direction as it destroyed most of the surrounding area of all of it's rock formations and the grass of the area.
The half saiyan time traveler and the came crashing down just at the edge of a forest of tree, both of them bouncing across the ground several times before they were finally stopped by some tree trunks.
A few moment later Trunks was forcing himself onto his feet "There's ... there's no way that worked, could it?"
It was then that Trunks began to see a green mass of started to grow where Cell had just been standing, slowly growing into a humanoid shape and let out a disappointed sigh, and transformed into a super saiyan again
"That was decent attempt brother, but it seem that not even blowing myself up isn't enough to destroy me." the mass said once it was finally finished growing.
"No way" Trunks yelled "He can't be ... He ... he's in that form!? How is that possible!?"
"Hmm?" Cell looked down at himself and noticed that his body had changed yet again and began laughing almost manically "Yes! This is it! I've done it! I've managed to achieve my perfection! "
"That's it it's over...he's...he's way too power now..." Trunks said to himself, his body shaking
"Maybe...maybe now that he's got more power ... he'll make a bigger boom." 17 said as he forced himself to sit up against a tree, his eyes growing red again "He even regrew back that bomb."
Cell blinked as his body started expanding again, with a grunt of an annoyance before he began flying forward again, a buzzing sound accompanying his dash as he flew past Trunks, and punched the android in the face, the impact of which sent him through the tree and his eyes to stop growing red, and seeming knocked the android unconscious.
"Too late, brother I don't feel like trying that again." Cell said, smirking to himself.
"Too late?" Trunks questioned, his body shaking
"Yes, that's right, you're also too late to stop me." Cell said as he crossed his arms in front of his chest, and turned "But I'd still love to watch you struggle pathetically to try."
"Too late?" Trunks seemed to just question again.
"Yes we've established this...now try and attack me already." Cell said glaring at the saiyan's back.
"Too late? I'm always too late..." Trunks said, as his body began to shake more, and the ground began to shake as well.
"What's this...powering up finally.." Cell question a bit confused at how quickly the power was rising.
"I was too late become a super saiyan to save my master ... I was too late n stopping Cell's second form in the past..." Trunks said, clearing not talking to the Bio-Android, as his hair seemed to spike up slightly more, but fell shortly after, this strange movement repeating as he went on "I got back to the future too late to stop the Android...and again too late to stop Cell from becoming Perfect!"
"What the hell."
"No more! I won't be too late again! I have to save the earth!" Trunks yelled out loudly, his golden aura expanding around him, wind blowing from him, pushing back the Bio-Android, then in a bright flash of light Trunks power increased in a sharp increase yet again, his hair now spiking up even further, and electricity sparking around the warrior.
"What's, what this now?" Cell said slightly
"This...so this is what it feels like...I've done what my master did in the past...I've ascended to the next level of Super Saiyan!" Trunks said turning to glare at Cell "but unlike him I'm not going to toy with you Cell!"
"You! Toy with me!" Cell yell out in outrage, and dashed forward to attack him.
"I said I wasn't going toy with you." Trunks said seeming to disappear for a second before he reappeared in front of Cell and punched the creature into the sky,
"This, this isn't possible...I am perfect." Cell muttered out, when suddenly Trunks reappeared in front of him and began to repeatedly and rapidly punch the creature in the face.
"It's simple Cell! you're not perfect you're just powerful! But now you're nothing compared to me!" Trunks said before he grabbed hold of the hybrid creatures head, spinning him around quickly before he threw Cell higher into the air, and fired a powerful beam with a dome of energy surrounding Trunks "It's over now!"
"What no! This cannot beeeeeee-!" Cell yelled out as the blast hit him from behind, his body beginning to disintegrate as the beam flew higher and higher into the sky.
What's this? Trunks has reached the next level of super Saiyan just in time? Has Cell truly been defeated? And what exactly has been Krillin been up too during all this time?
