Foreword: Ladies, gentlement and that technicolored rainbow in-between. It's time for the Cell Games! How will the tournament go? Read on and see!

Cell stood in the center of the ring he made with a smile, the awaited time had come and everyone was gathering. Cell already had a camera crew nearby and already set up to record the coming fights, the crew having arrived a good 3 days prior to the Cell Games starting date. Cell was enjoying the attention and oppertunity to tell his story and enlighten the masses of his perfect self and how it came to be.

Cell: "Well folks at home, the day has come! It's the day of the Cell Games, a tournament to determine the fate of the world and everyone on it. Will your world have a champion strong enough to stop me? Or will I stand victorious and turn this planet to dust? Let's welcome the competitors!"

Cell stopped hiding his power and even flexed his energy a bit to grab attention and just like he had hoped, fighters started teleporting in. Cell stowed the envy caused by not knowing how to teleport to announce the fresh arrivals.

Cell: "Introducing the strongest fighters in the world! Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Trunks, Bansuri, Krillin, Tien and Yamcha! Take a good look at your heroes people so when they fail you, you can haunt them in the afterlife!"

?: "Not so fast freakshow!"

A voice blared out of a speaker as a helicopter flew over the arena, a figure standing in the back of it before they jumped out, performing many flips and a three-point landing as their white cape flared behind them. The man stood up revealing a brown martial arts gi with white pants, brown boots and a belt that said "World Champion". His hair was a black afro and he had an impressive mustache, this man was the current World Martial Arts Champion; Mr Satan.

Mr Satan: "You think you can threaten this world without someone rising up to smack you down? HA! Time for you to be put through Hell!"

Mr Satan charged forward, laying into Cell with an impressive and rapid series of punches, kicks, knee strikes and elbow strikes. The camera man was in awe at the sheer speed and technique of the world champion defending the planet, the Z-fighters however saw that he might have skill but none of the power needed to make a dent in Cell who didn't so much as flinch under the assault.

Goku: "His form and speed are pretty good"

Gohan: "He's getting knocked out in a single shot isn't he?"

Bansuri: (Sigh) "I'll be sure to heal him when he's thrown out of the ring"

Yamcha: "We all know the strongest human is Krillin, yeah?"

Everyone nodded with Krillin blushing under the general agreement of his strength but the moment ended when Cell simply lifted a hand and proceeded to backhand slap Mr Satan out of the ring. Half way to the plateau Mr Satan was rocketing toward, the champ' found himself covered in a gentle blue aura that stopped his high speed travel and eased him to the ground, confusing Mr Satan before he was startled by a green man suddenly appearing at his side.

Mr Satan: "Ah! What are you gonna-?"

Bansuri places a hand on Mr Satan and the damage from Cell's attack vanished without a trace. Even the fatigue from going all out for an extended period faded to nothing.

Bansuri: "All better?"

Mr Satan: (Nods with a look of awe)

Bansuri: "Good. Now if you would excuse me, I am going to deal with Cell. Remember; discretion is the better part of valour."

Bansuri walked away from the healed martial artist and proceeded to walk to the steps of the arena, Goku stepping forward to volunteer when Bansuri simply shaked his head at him. Goku knew Bansuri had better judgement than himself so he stepped back to watch the coming fight.

Cell: "Ah, I remember you. You and Piccolo stalled me and made me wait to get my perfection. How does it feel knowing all that hard work was for nothing?"

Bansuri: "About as bad as you're about to feel"

Cell: "Ooooh how scary, you might be a bit stronger than before but you're still no match for me"

Bansuri: "You think so? Let's test that"

Bansuri's expression hardened and veins plumped across his body, Bansuri's power multiplying ten times over and making Cell shocked that he was suddenly very badly outmatched. Before Cell could even vocalize his surprise he found himself folded over a gut punch severe enough to lift him off the ground a full foot, Cell barely able to stay on his feet after landing on them.

Cell: "Huh, hnnnnn HURP"

Bansuri took a step back and raised an eyebrow at the fact he was about to watch Cell lose his lunch over a punch to the stomach. Cell continued heaving and retching until a massive mass dropped out of his mouth and on to the arena's surface. Both of Bansuri's eyebrows raised at what was thrown up, or rather whom.

Krillin: "LAZULI!?"

Bansuri watched as Cell's body changed and his power plummeted, Cell's tail growing out, his green coloring becoming a darker shade and his facial features losing their humanoid look. Cell regressed from his Perfect form to his Semi-perfect form, the form he was in when Vegeta challenged him. Bansuri looked at Lazuli on the ground then back to Cell who was looking nervous, a look that became more pronounced as Bansuri narrowed his eyes at Cell.

Semi-perfect Cell: "...Um...You gonna eat that?"

Bansuri: "...No."

Semi-perfect Cell: "Then can I?"

Bansuri: "Take a wild guess"

Semi-perfect Cell: "...yes?"

Bansuri gave Cell a flat look that crushed the hopeful expression on his no longer perfect face and before Cell could make a step toward Lazuli to absorb her again he found himself folded over a strike to the gut from a knee strike this time, the impact making Cell cover his mouth with both hands.

Bansuri: "Come on, spit Lapis out so I can kill you"

Semi-perfect Cell: (Grunt that sounds like "Nuh uh!")

Bansuri: "Cell! Spit them out!"

Semi-perfect Cell: (Disagreeable grunt/growl)

Bansuri repeatedly kneed Cell in the stomach in an attempt to make him throw up the other Android inside him, Cell squirming, kicking and using his tail to try and get Bansuri to back off so he can compose himself but the tail stab was grabbed and used to give more leverage for the knee strikes until...

Semi-perfect Cell: "HUUUUUGH!"

Cell finally vomited out Lapis, the black haired youth flopping to the ground in a splat of goo similar to vaseline like his sister before him. Cell's form shuddered and glowed in Bansuri's grip as the Bio-android's features became more bug like and his appearance became familiar to Bansuri as this was the form his father saw when he first found Cell. Bansuri threw Cell to the ground away from the Androids, the bugman bouncing on the tiles of the battle ground he built himself.

Imperfect Cell: "How dare you take my-huh?"

The world around Cell had faded to black, the only thing he could see was Bansuri but Bansuri was no longer alone. Bansuri stood with Piccolo, someone identical to Piccolo (Nail), what looks like an old Piccolo (Kami) and a giant and fat version of Piccolo (Guru). All of them glared at Cell with scorn in their eyes, causing Cell to start feeling a sense of dread and for the first time; fear as he looked at the group when they spoke as one.

Namekians: "This world has suffered your greed and malice for long enough. It is time for your atrocities to end"

In a flash the world was back to normal and Cell found themself high in the air above the arena with a sharp pain in their torso and from Bansuri's lifted leg Cell could tell he was kicked upward into the sky.

Imperfect Cell: "Fine! If I can't be perfect THEN NO ONE CAN HAVE WHAT THEY WANT! GALICK GUN!-"

Bansuri: "MASENKO HAAAAAAAAAA!"

Less of a beam and more of an outright pillar of energy pierced the heavens and engulfed Cell as they tried to cobble together the energy needed to fight back against the blast but all that did was make Cell's disintegration slower and more painful until there was nothing left. Bansuri felt the loss of resistance in his beam and stopped pushing energy into it, the Namekian carefully looking at the sky and sensing for Cell's presence. With Cell's energy gone and no trace of the body in view, Bansuri's expression relaxed and the veins that were plumped up returned to normal as his power also returned to normal.

Reporter: "Excuse me sir, Bansuri right?"

Bansuri stopped looking at the sky and turned to face the person addressing him and holding a microphone. Said reporter jumping on to the arena and walking up to Bansuri and being followed by a man with a camera, the latter impressing Bansuri somewhat as moving with something that large and apparently heavy and having such mobility was quite the feat.

Bansuri: "Yes I am Bansuri. Can I help you?"

Reporter: "Considering you just took down someone that said they'd destroy the world, I would think you've helped us plenty"

The cameraman nodded enthusiastically and made sure to position themself to have both the reporter and Bansuri in the shot with mountains in the background to make them both look majestic.

Bansuri: "I imagine that if I didn't deal with Cell, Goku or Gohan over there could have. I just wanted to solve the issue as quickly as possible and figured the best way to do that was to deal with it myself"

Reporter: "Remarkable! Do you have any words for the viewers at home and in public?"

Bansuri looked thoughtful for a moment, considering what could be said to inspire the best of people. After a moment Bansuri made powerful eye-contact with the camera and with his voice occasionally dipping into a very Piccolo-like bass, he addressed the people.

Bansuri: "No matter how alone you feel and how bad the circumstances, know that you are cared for and cherished. Do what you can as best you can and never give up on yourself."

The cameraman and reporter stared in quiet awe and respect at the message of compassion that was spoken to them and the world, all the viewers seeing the soulful eye-contact and knowing that this man means every word.

In the home of a famous martial artist a little girl with her hair in pigtails sits in front of a TV in awe at the statement of a green man with long pointed ears and antennae. This Bansuri guy was strong, caring and honest and the little girl wanted to be that awesome.

Little Girl: "Do what I can as best I can..."

All around the cities where the Cell Games are being broadcast, the people were motivated to better themselves, to stay strong or brought to tears by the hearwarming statements of Bansuri, King Furry thought that this King Piccolo look-alike was going to make a speech encouraging the worst of people and was outright shocked that the speech given was the ultimate encouragement of good within people.

King Furry: "Hmm, guess I misjudged this Bansuri. Maybe they're King Piccolo's opposite?"

Roshi stared at his TV then looked down at himself, seeing that he had let himself get soft just because he had gotten old. He still had more than enough in him to help protect the people and even if he couldn't, he could still teach as his teaching of Gohan would attest.

Roshi: "Hmm, maybe I should look into this Spirit Control training everyone is going on about..."

After a long while waiting for any additional conversation the reporter and cameraman could put forward, Bansuri guessed that they had their fill and started floating upward to get some space before giving a small farewell salute and using the same two fingers from the salute to teleport away. Both cameraman and reporter watched this happen in quiet awe before shaking themselves off and going back to Mr Satan to talk with him about the hero.

Goku: "Wow! Bansuri got super strong and it still looked like he was holding back!"

Gohan: (Nodding) "Yeah his power only multiplied 10 times, he can go way higher than that!"

Trunks side-eyed his father who looked like they were stuck between angry that they were shown up and afraid for the time they'll be spending in the time chamber with them.

Trunks: "...if it makes you feel any better, I don't think he'll kill you"

Vegeta: "Hmph, you say that like there's nothing worse than dying. There is and odds are I'm gonna experience it"

Krillin: "Shouldn't of gone after Lazuli"

Krillin lifted Lazuli with one arm and motioned 16 to carry Lapis, the red haired Android obliging.

Krillin: "Actions have consequences Vegeta and pride has a price."

Krillin walked over to 16 and placed his free hand on him before they both teleported away with Lapis and Lazuli in tow. There was a moment of silence before the remaining Z-fighters had decided they had stuck around long enough, Tien going to Kame House to pick up Chiaotzu, Goku and Gohan returning to their home to tell Chi-chi the good news and Yamcha opting to simply fly away to take the scenic route back home to enjoy the view.

Trunks: "...So father, think you can teach me how to teleport?"

Vegeta: "I'm going to be in the Time Chamber with Bansuri for 2 days Trunks, I'd ask Krillin for help if I were you."

Trunks: "Really?"

Vegeta: "He has experience teaching it"

Vegeta lifted off the ground and took the slow way home of flying with the excuse of giving pointers about Spirit Control to Trunks as they traveled, leaving the reporter, cameraman and Mr Satan by the now abandoned Cell Games Arena.

Mr Satan: "That green guy...He's probably the reason I didn't slam into that mountain when Cell hit me and he healed me too!"

Reporter: "The way he spoke and carried himself...He's gotta be older than he looks"

Cameraman: "Totally! The look in his eyes reminds me of one of those old war veterans but way MORE you know?"

Mr Satan: "Hmph! I think it's obvious that 'Bansuri' guy, without a doubt...Is a God"

There was a moment of silence as the camera-man and reporter thought about the statement and found that it made perfect sense. A God would definitely be strong enough to save the planet and kind enough to rescue then heal someone when they were near by. There was a nod of agreement shared between the three humans before the cameraman chuckled to himself, getting confused looks from the reporter and Mr Satan.

Cameraman: "Heh! God rescued Satan from falling (snicker)"

Both Mr Satan and the reporter paused at this remark and started quietly chuckling to themselves as well, the irony of the statement being somewhat amusing.

Bulma: "Damn Bansuri, didn't think you had such a flare for motivational speeches. You're always so quiet"

Bansuri: (Shrugs) "I'm always thinking"

Krillin: "Yeah that tracks"

Bansuri, Krillin and Android 16 were in Bulma's workshop, said scientist giving Lapis and Lazuli a check up to make sure they were okay. After being given the thumbs up, Bansuri and Krillin used the Yardrat Healing technique to help Lapis and Lazuli recover and awaken.

Lapis: "Uuuuugh, what the? How did I get here?...Oh"

Bansuri: "Yeah, Cell got you then Lazuli. He was a pain to deal with after that but I managed to force him to spit the two of you out before destroying them."

Lazuli: "...thanks, for saving us. Are the bombs removed too?"

Bulma: "Not yet, I was just giving you two a check up to make sure being absorbed didn't harm you. I was waiting for you two to wake up before asking if you want me to remove the bombs matter of fact."

Both Lapis and Lazuli game relieved smiles at the respect they were being given by the scientist that was in the room. The last one didn't care but this one did.

Lapis: "Yeah... could you please get the bombs out of me? Don't wanna go kaboom when I'm playing a game with a wireless controller or something"

Lazuli: "Ditto, but don't want a shopping scanner to make me go nucular"

Bulma: "Fair enough. Alright boys, unless you have PHDs wait outside."

Bansuri went to leave but paused to give a questioning look which Bulma looked confused about before realizing and giving a nod prompting Bansuri to leave with a salute, Krillin left with a soft smile to Lazuli which she returned with one of her own but 16 hesitated for a moment.

Android 16: "...I am happy that the two of you are okay."

Lapis: "We're happy to be okay too big guy"

Lazuli gave a nod and a smile to Android 16 which was returned before 16 turned and walked out of the room.

Lapis: "So how long is this gonna take doc?"

Bulma: "Since I have your blueprints? About an hour each and since your blueprint is already on my display, you cool with being the first one worked on?"

Lapis: "Eh, sure"

Outside the waiting room, Krillin, Bansuri and 16 stood in ascending order of height with Krillin closest to the door. They made for an odd group but no one saw fit to comment and things were quiet until Vegeta and Trunks arrived.

Trunks: "Everything okay?"

Krillin: "Yeah, Lapis and Lazuli are getting their bombs removed at the moment but they didn't get hurt from being absorbed so that's good news"

Trunks: "It is. Say, I couldn't help but notice that everyone can teleport. Could you please teach me?"

Krillin: "Well, I guess I can help you out but I think Bansuri could help you more"

Krillin gave Bansuri a familiar look and after recognising it Bansuri beckoned Trunks to get closer to him. Trunks took a confused step closer and found a green hand placed on top of his head then his mind filled with knowledge of Spirit control, the exorcises and the inner workings of Instant Transmission, Yardrat Healing and the Cloning technique.

Trunks: "W-wow! That is a major head trip!"

Krillin: "Right? All you need to do now is work on meditations and control and you can do that anytime, anywhere."

Trunks: "I see, thank you for the knowledge Bansuri"

Bansuri: "You're welcome. Vegeta, I have Bulma's permission. You know where to go."

Vegeta went through a number of emotions before landing on resigned acceptance and putting two fingers to his head and disappearing.

Bansuri: "I recommend you stick around for a couple days, have a little fun before going back. You've earned at least that much."

Trunks: "...Ok, but I'm doing the Spirit Control training at the same time"

Bansuri: "Fair enough"

Bansuri vanished and left Trunks with Krillin and 16, the silence becoming awkward for the Half-saiyan youth, prompting him to start with the meditation and Spirit Control exocises.

On the Lookout Vegeta stood by the Time Chamber door waiting for Mr Popo to finish stocking the food supply for two years, jumping slightly at the sudden appearance of Bansuri then frowning at being startled. Bansuri walked over to the sour Saiyan and stood beside them, the two remaining silent until Mr Popo finished stocking the room and opened the door for them, Bansuri giving an appreciative nod and Vegeta simply walking past.

Bansuri: "You think this is just going to be me beating you for two years straight, right?"

Vegeta: "It obviously is"

Bansuri: "It isn't. This is an opportunity to sort out the bad blood between us and find understanding and respect between the two of us. I also intend on helping you become the best version of yourself you can be and that includes helping you ascend past Super Saiyan."

Vegeta: "...That second part involves beating the daylights out of me doesn't it."

Bansuri: "Yes, but you can't say I'm just here to hurt you. That's just what happens during training after all"

Vegeta: "...crap"

Cell has fallen and the Androids are no longer a threat...at least in the present time line. How will Trunks deal with his own Andoids and Cell? How will Vegeta handle two years with Bansuri? Will Vegeta ascend to Super Saiyan 2? Find out Next time on Some Help.
