Episode 23: The Next Level of Super Saiyan
As Vegeta and Shadow were fighting Cell, Vegeta brutally beats him to a pulp with ease. "So… how does it feel to be at the bottom, Cell?" asked Vegeta. Shadow charged up a Chaos Blast to get rid of Cell for good. (Whir) (Whoosh) (Boom) (Sssss) 18 says, "I don't get it, Vegeta couldn't have gotten much stronger within a few days. He and that black hedgehog couldn't even stand up to me." Meanwhile, Goku and Sonic were giving it their all in their training. "Hey, Sonic. There's a way you can go Super Saiyan without the Chaos Emeralds. All you have to do is concentrate on that single emerald… and absorb its energy." As Sonic closed his eyes and concentrated on the Chaos Emerald, he went Super Saiyan. Gohan asked, "Hey, dad, can you teach me how to become a Super Saiyan?" "Sure, but it's going to be difficult." Back at the fight, Vegeta and Shadow are easily defeating Cell. (Bam) "(Sigh) This is getting boring. Shadow, do you want to step in?" asked Vegeta. "Hmph. Glad you asked." As Shadow went up against Cell, he picked up a giant boulder and hurled it at him. (Zoom) (Crunch) (Bzzzz) (Boom) (Cell screams) "I am Cell! I am the perfect being in the universe! I won't stand for this filth! I will not be defeated by these mother…" (Bam) Vegeta punched him in the stomach and said, "I'm getting tired of this fight already. Now… goodbye, Cell." (Thud) Cell coughs up while Vegeta tells him, "Pick yourself up, Cell. If you have my DNA, at least show your dignity. Now, to end your existence." Cell said, "Wait! Shadow, Vegeta. Allow me to congratulate you both in defeating me, but do you really want to kill me now? Think about it. If you let me reach my perfect form, you'll have a bigger challenge. It's in your saiyan blood to rise up to the challenge. After all, you're both the princes of saiyans." Shadow said, "Shut the hell up, Cell! We're going to kill you so we won't have to see anymore horrors of you." Vegeta gave Shadow a pat on the shoulder and said to him, "Now hold on, Shadow. He may be onto something. So… if I let you transform, then you'll be more powerful?" "Yes," replied Cell. Trunks yelled, "Father, no! If you let him transform again, he'll destroy all of us!" Cell looks around and spots #16 and #18 behind Shadow under a boulder. "#18, I finally found you! There is no escape!" Silver jumps in and uses his psychic powers to hold Cell. Then, Silver makes blue-colored fire with his psychic powers and sets his sights on Cell. "Cell! Today's the day that your terror ends here! Goodbye and good riddance!" Meanwhile, back at the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Sonic and Tails were training with each other, testing out their Super forms. Goku, on the other hand was showing Gohan how to go Super Saiyan. "Now you see, Gohan, the key to become a Super Saiyan is to think deep and concentrate your power. Use your emotions to push yourself beyond your own limits. Like this." While Goku was teaching his son, Sonic and Tails reverted to their normal forms on purpose. But Tails snuck Sonic and punched him in the face. Back at Silver and the rest, Krillin shows up by #18 with a remote of some sort. "18, run! If Cell catches you, you're screwed!" 18 looks surprised and sees the remote in Krillin's hand. As Trunks blocks Vegeta out of the way, Vegeta drop kicks him into the ocean. (Bam) Trunks gets back up and powers up. "Aw, isn't that nice? And do you honestly think that you can lay a finger on your own father?" said Vegeta in a cocky tone. Trunks charges a Burning Attack at full power and unleashes it on him. As Vegeta witnessed the blast, he just stood there helpless. (Boom) Shadow said, "Well, then. Since Trunks is fighting Vegeta, I'll go bring that android to Cell myself." Silver stopped him. "If you aid Cell, I will kill you, too." Shadow laughed. Silver attacked Shadow, but Shadow countered it with a kick to the back of the head. Cell breaks free of the hold and goes after #18. Krillin stops in front of him and says, "Hey, Cell! I won't let you go after #18! You're going to have to get through me and 16 first." Cell said, "Fair enough, but can I at least say one thing? Solar Flare!" (Krillin, #18 and #16 screams) While Krillin and the androids were preparing to fend off Cell, Gohan struggled on becoming a Super Saiyan using his emotions. "C'mon, Gohan! Focus!" (Wham) Sonic went to Goku and told Gohan, "Gohan! Just chill! Remember what we been through. Imagine Frieza killing me and your father. And imagine what Cell will do to us." Gohan snapped and gave Sonic a cold stare. Sonic looked at him and said, "Whoa… are you ok, Gohan?" Gohan finally went Super Saiyan, but he couldn't control his temper at all. Tails said, "No, Gohan. You have to control your emotions! If you get out of control, forget Cell, you might kill everyone else, including Sonic and Goku." So as Gohan went back to his normal state, he collapsed on the floor crying. Goku went up to him and said, "It's ok, son. I didn't know how to control my Super Saiyan state at first, but now… I can go further beyond. Ready to show them how it's done, Sonic?" So as he stood next to Goku, Sonic pulled out his emerald and tried to connect to the other emeralds. (Whoosh) (Whoosh) (Whoosh) (Whoosh) (Whoosh) (Whoosh) All the other emeralds appeared and were glowing brighter than usual. (Sonic powering up) Sonic was in a level beyond a Super Saiyan called Hyper. "Ha! Just call me Hyper Sonic!" Tails was amazed by the new transformation. Back at the fight, Cell blinded the rest with a Solar Flare and went to #18. (Krillin powering up) He tried to defend her, but Krillin failed. #18 attacked Cell as well, but she was blind and was knocked to the ground. (Swip) (Swip) (Boom) "Face it, 18. You're going to get absorbed whether you like it or not. Prepare yourself, it's raping time!" (Slurp) (Slurp) (Slurp) (Slurp) (Slurp) (Krillin gasps) "18, no!" As she been absorbed, Cell begins to transform again. (Crackle) (Crackle) Vegeta said, "Ah. Now, here comes this so-called perfect form that he's been blabbering about." The winds were harshly blowing, thunder and lightning struck everywhere, and the earth was shattering. (Sssss) As the smoke from the dirt and the dark clouds, Cell was in his… perfect form. "Sup," said Cell. Trunks and Silver were shocked because of his tremendous energy. Shadow said, "Ha! You call this his perfect form? I will admit, he has the body of his perfect form, but I won't even have to go Super Saiyan to beat him." As Shadow prepared to fight Cell, back at the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Piccolo and Knuckles were getting impatient. "Grr! Hurry the hell up in there, Goku! I can sense Cell's energy, and it's infinite!" The four heroes inside kept training. Gohan finally learned how to control his temper, thus, giving him the edge of a Super Saiyan. He was giving it his all against Goku, but wasn't trying hard enough. "That's enough training for now. But before we all eat up, I want to show you my version of a level beyond a Super Saiyan," said Goku. (Goku powering up) (Goku grunts) (Stretch) (Stretch) As Goku's body gets buffer, Tails looks at him and gets a little scared. "What the…?" asked Tails. Sonic said, "Wow, Goku! You're even stronger than I am. Congrats, man." Goku powered down and said, "No, Sonic. For once, you're stronger than I am. You were able to pull off something that I couldn't back on Namek. Meanwhile, back at Cell, he was checking his own body to see were there any flaws. Krillin shuddered, then clenched his fists and went for a Roundhouse Kick. "I don't think so, Krillin. I can see throughout the future and possess unlimited speed thanks to #18 and Metal Sonic." Krillin tries to escape his wrath, but Cell snaps his neck with his own Roundhouse Kick. (Snap) (Wham) (Whoosh) (Boom) (Thud) Now that Cell has given Krillin a taste of his new power of his perfect form, who is next to become defeated? Can Sonic and Goku measure up to Cell's new form, or will they become powerless against him? Find out on the next episode.
