Chapter 12: The Final Bout
A/N: Hey guys! This is going to be a large chapter, cause I don't see any acceptable cut aways. Either way, I hope you enjoy the action!
Cell continued to absorb many people along with Buu as they slowly went through the city. Everything was in chaos, buildings were on fire, structures fell and all without a hint of blood shed as both warriors absorbed all the pedestrians. The sight of all the destruction was like a breathe of fresh air for Cell, and even Buu surprisingly
Cell walked around as he was about to absorb yet another victim, when suddenly a kick threw him into a nearby building. He recovered to see the new warrior before him. Buu also walked towards the two as he dropped all of his gathered up candy, except a donut in his hands
"You're a new one...tell me, what trick did they pull out of their ass to make you?" Cell questioned almost uncaringly as he could the feel the energy of both Gohan and Trunks in this new fighter
"I am the fusion of Son Gohan and Trunks Briefs, call us...Gohanks!" He said as he yelled to power up
"Of course...it's only logical at this point." Cell complained as Gohanks continued to power up. Once he was done, he stared at Cell intently
"This is your final warning Cell...you can still change! Stop all of this, and we can work it out! You can have justice against Vegeta and the Androids, but not at the expense of the Earth! Please, give up!" He said as he reached out his right hand. Cell chuckled at the gesture as he put a hand on his stomach. He almost bursted into laughter
"Don't make me laugh! It isn't justice that I want, nor is it your pity...it's your spilt blood! You all just can't accept that I'm a failed project, otherwise you would be a lot less merciful towards the one who killed your mother, twice!" Cell said as a nerve twitched on Gohanks' forehead
"But, I do have a few more things to take care of, Buu! Would you care to begin to match?" Cell offered as Gohanks put down his hand. Buu began clap his hands a few times
"Yes, Yes! Me Buu love tasty candy!" Buu said as he bit the donut in his hand and took Cell's place in front of Gohanks. Cell walked behind a destroyed building as both he and Gohanks eyed each other. Buu began to power up to his fullest and once he finished he dashed forward to attack Gohanks, beginning the battle
Buu threw a punch that Gohanks immediately grabbed. He was shocked by the action and proceeded to get thrown through a building as Gohanks dashed in and kicked Buu, forcing the pink Majin through two more buildings. Buu got back up, only for Gohanks to kick him in the face, sending him flying away through yet another building
"Hey! Are you going to fight or not!" Gohanks mocked as the Majin glared at the fusion warrior
"Me Buu no like you!!" He yelled as steam escaped from his head. Buu dashed forward again and tried to punch Gohanks, only for the fusion to disappear and reappear a few feet away from Buu
"Come on! Just TRY and hit me!" He mocked as Buu began the chase him, seemed as though the Gohan inside of him was now showing
Buu followed Gohanks as he vanished in and out of sight using his raw speed. After a minute of the same game, Buu threw yet another punch, only for Gohanks to sidestep and kick Buu in the chin. Buu was sent flying upwards, only for Gohanks to appear above him and send him crashing back down to the earth. He then dashed downwards as he grabbed Buu by the arm and spun him around, he let go and sent Buu flying upwards. Gohanks put both of his hands towards the sky as an orange ball of Ki surrounded him
"HHHAAAHH!!!" He yelled as the sphere of Ki produced a beam the went straight upwards. Buu only managed to put both of his arms together as the beam made contact with him. The blast only lasted for a second as Buu's arms were now gone, he looked downwards to see that Gohanks was gone
"Up here!" Gohanks taunted as Buu looked up, only to be met with a fist to the face as he crashed onto the ground with Buu, his right fist still connected to Buu's chin. Gohanks began punching and kicking Buu's in rapid succession until he kicked his chest, propelling him upwards and holding a blue ball of Ki over his head
"Eat this!!" Gohanks said as he brought down the ball of Ki. He shot a huge barrage of blue beams that extended from the blue ball after Buu, each ravaged the ground below as many pieces of Buu were destroyed. After a many seconds of flying around with the ball of Ki, Gohanks stopped to see his handy work
Buu's body had many holes in it, but each hole was sealed up immediately, Buu stood back up and regrew his arms. The Majin was MORE than annoyed by Gohanks, he made him look dumb! His mind started to crumble as he was quickly driven into insanity, no one made him look dumb! Steam blew out of his head before he screamed in anger, there was something inside of him that began to consume him from the inside out, his body began morphing in portions as well
"Buu really, really, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY HATE YOU!!!" Buu said as his voice got deeper, losing all child-like manner as his body began to shift. He screamed while an aura of dark-red Ki wrapped around him
"Damnit, I got too cocky. I better finish this before he does something drastic." Gohanks thought as he put both hands in front of him. He made several quick and flashy motions before having both his spread out hands together
"Hah!" He yelled as he fired a Burning Attack towards the angered Buu. Before the attack went any further, however, a quick blue flash appeared stopping in front of the attack and detonating it early, blue limbs fell to the city below. Gohanks looked around his surroundings to see a small army of Cell Jr.s surrounding him in all directions, each teasing him as they laughed, stuck out their tongues or flipped him off
"You forgot that I can do that, didn't you? Meet my children! I would have named them, but they won't last long anyways." Cell said as he was in front of Gohanks
"What the hell are you doing now!"
"I'm having fun, what else? If I can't try something new every once and a while then what's the point in living?" He laughed
Cell pointed a finger to Gohanks as all the Cell Jr.s attacked. The Fusion Warrior put his arms and legs in front of him and became a ball as every Cell Jr. dashed towards and away from him, each landing a blow on his body and dashing away, only to dash back again
"I do have to warn you! I am excellent at multi tasking!" Cell mocked as he put two fingers on his head and began to charge Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon
Gohanks saw this and released his guard as he dashed forward, only to get hit on the chin by a fairly hard strike. Gohanks did several backflips from the momentum of the attack, dodging many Cell Jr.s, and ended it by putting up a spherical barrier around him as all the Cell Jr.s were now striking the barrier. Gohanks looked forward to see Buu...but not like what he looked like before
Buu was now skinnier and leaner than before. He no longer had his vest nor his large stomach from a few seconds ago. His pants were longer and his boots were now a mix of black and brown, and his arms now had more muscles and were more defined than before, with the same black gauntlets as Prestina's. His neck was longer and thicker than before, and his head was less bulbous and longer. The tentacle on his head was larger and longer. His eyes were now black with red pupils
Buu had a blank expression as he stared at Gohanks. He was menacing and clearly unhinged, seen in his slanted posture, his blank expression marked Buu's new personality, dark and destructive unlike the child he was before
"...ME BUU NO LIKE YOU!!" He yelled as 'veins' all throughout his body extended while he screamed in anger, his body also got buffer as he dashed forward and punched the barrier. He began to brutally assault the barrier as the Cell Jr.s never faltered their assault
"Gohanks! You can't allow them to continue this! You are still more powerful than them, but they out number you! GET OUT OF THERE!!" The Supreme Kai directed through telepathy. Gohanks yelled as the barrier exploded, killing every Cell Jr. and sending Buu away in a messy puddle feet. The remains of the Cell Jr.s fell to the floor as Gohanks refocused his attention to Cell
"Dodge this!! Special Beam Canon!!!" He yelled as he thrusted his two fingers towards Gohanks, sending a drilling beam towards the fusion. Gohanks easily dodged to the right as the beam continued forward
"It'll be much harder than that!!" He warned Gohanks
The Fusion Warrior turned around to see that the beam had bent to the right twice and was now headed towards him. He barely managed to fly upwards as the beam missed again, but the beam bent upwards and nearly went through him as he moved backwards. The beam bent in several different directions as Gohanks struggled to dodge the end of the beam. After a few seconds, the beam dissolved as Gohanks tried to recover, only for Buu's right arm to grab his face while he was caught off guard
Buu threw the Hybrid Warrior backwards as Cell dashed forward and kicked his back, sending him back to Buu. The Majin turned around to hit Gohanks' face with the back of his fist. He grabbed Gohanks' left leg and spun him around several times before throwing him to the ground. Cell also threw a Ki ball towards him as it blew up his surrounding area
"So, it seems you've evolved. Shall we work together?" Cell asked Buu as he put his right arm forward and his left arm above him, with his back facing Buu, similar to the turtle school pose
Buu stood still for a while, before chuckling evilly, he liked this one. He stood beside Cell as he mirrored his position to a T. They yelled as they harnessed their energy before launching themselves at their common enemy
Gohanks recovered to see both Cell and Buu charging towards him, forcing him to charge his Ki and clash with the two. The three punched, kicked and blocked as gusts of wind were produced from the ferocity of the clash. Neither party was able to gain the upper hand as Gohanks' sheer power was enough to occupy both Cell and Buu
After a few minutes, Gohanks backed away as he kicked both Cell and Buu away. Buu dashed forward once again as Cell shot several small piercing Ki blasts from both his hands
Many went through Buu as Gohanks tried to dodge the attacks. The attacks misssed and flanked Gohanks as Buu confronted him, he punched and kicked as the Half Saiyan struggled to evade all of the attacks. After a minute, Cell stopped as he joined in the fray, but keeping the small energy attacks in the field and allowing them to painfully pass through him as they came and went. Gohanks struggled to evade and kick away each attack that surrounded him as Buu and Cell tried to punch and kick him in return
"Enough of this!" Cell yelled as he put a hand forward and detonated each Ki attack manually, covering Gohanks in dust. Both Buu and Cell jumped at the opportunity as Buu grabbed Gohanks' right arm and Cell grabbed his left. They threw him upwards and then put two opposite arms together as they shot a volley of piercing Ki blasts towards Gohanks, whom recovered and put up a strong green ki barrier in front of him, causing the blasts exploded on the barrier. After a minute of staying still, Gohanks decided to fly downwards as the Ki attacks continued to detonate on the barrier
"Fool!" Buu stated as he put his hands together and Cell did the same. They channeled their Ki into a small red ball for a few seconds before sending it towards Gohanks. The Ball stopped short in front of the barrier as Gohanks struggled to overpower the attack with his barrier
"That's enough playing around!" Gohanks yelled as his hair began to stand straight up and his aura turned into a different color. He yelled as his spiked and turned yellow, lightning surrounding him as well. He quickly overpowered the ball as he continued to fly downwards
Buu was surprised by the sudden gain in power as both Cell and Buu stepped to the side. Gohanks crashed down to the earth as the large ball exploded. He quickly dashed towards Cell as he kicked him in the stomach. He then punched Cell in the face before spinning to his left and kicking his arm with his right leg, sending him crashing towards a building and breaking it. Gohanks followed this by dashing towards Buu as overpowered him with his own assault before kicking him away towards another building
Buu looked up from the rubble of the building to see Gohanks with a blue ball of Ki in right hand. "I hope you'll be reencarnated into someone good Buu...goodbye!" He said as he gently tossed the volatile attack at Buu's chest. He yelled as his body desintegrated, turning both him and the ball of ki into bits of confetti, killing the Majin for good
Gohanks looked upwards to see small white energy sparks flying away from where Buu once was. He smiled as he looked up to admire the lights."One down, one more to go." He thought as he turned around to see Cell with a loose right arm. His exo-skeleton on the joint of his right arm broke, leaving it dangling with a purple muscle holding it together
"It seems you've killed my partner. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. But at the end of the day, one of us will lose everything!" He said as he grabbed his right arm and held it in place, allowing the exo-skeleton to grow back in place. He then moved his newly healed arm a little before yelling to charge his Ki. He used his telekinesis to gather the limbs of all the fallen Cell Jr.s towards his tail
"What the hell is he planning?" Gohanks thought as Cell's tail spread out and absorbed all the limbs of the Cell Jr.s, increasing his power greatly. He then morphed into his War Machine Form as his power increased a little more. It still wasn't enough to compete with Gohanks, but the boost was worrying. He also was slightly confused by the form, how could he do that?
Cell began the new battle by dashing after his opponent punching him in the face, but the power gap was too wide as the attack did nothing to Gohanks. Cell began to punch and kick Gohanks' several times before getting punched in the face once by the fusion, shattering his mask
Gohanks began to attack Cell as he punched and kicked him in many everywhere, destroying his exo-skeleton on impact wherever his attacks landed. He shot various Ki attacks at point blank range as they destroyed Cell's limbs, only for them to quickly grow back into place. Gohanks kicked Cell away as he charged his ultimate attack, cupping both hands forward and then putting them to both his sides as two bluish yellow balls of Ki grew inside of his hands
"BUSTER-KAMEHAMEHA!!" He yelled as he sprung his arms forwards, sending out both balls of Ki. The blasts swept through the ruined city and towards Cell, whom managed to fly towards the right to evade the blast on, but they were too large as they managed to obliterate the entire left side of his body and his legs. He coughed up green blood as his broken mask revealed his mouth. Gohanks desingaged the attack to see that Cell was still standing
Cell coughed violently as his lungs were gone now gone, forcing his body to regenerate a pair of lungs to allow him to huff. He wiped away the blood on his mouth as he stared at Gohanks
"...got another one in you?" He taunted as his missing limbs shot outwards. He spit out the blood in his mouth as his mask covered his mouth once more. He dashed forward again as he swung at Gohanks
This time, however, the punches managed to hurt a little. Gohanks was puzzled as he viciously kicked Cell away. He shot several Ki blasts that only managed to destroy portions of Cell's body instead of whole limbs. However, something strange began to happen. After several seconds of firing, the Ki attacks started to destroy less portions of Cell's body. Gohanks decided to throw a slightly better charged Ki attack that obliterated his whole torso and destroyed his limbs, leaving his floating head and a green muscle hanging from the head
After a second, Cell's body shot back outwards as he recovered, this time he wasn't as tired as before, and was also MUCH more powerful than before
"Cell! What the hell have you done!!" Gohanks yelled as he demanded an explanation for his boost in power. Cell chuckled as he wiped blood off of his mouth
"You mean my boosts in power? Well, let me tell you a secret. A year ago I realized that I could try and make my suffering worthwhile, to put my Saiyan genes to use! So I tried, and tried and tried as I sought a better way to increase my power! And I did! I found a way to not only adapt to by bartered body much more easily, but also a way to gain a significant boost in power when any one of my cells destroyed!" Cell explained as Gohanks growled. "I've harnessed my pain and have made me thousands of times stronger! So now I don't get stronger from the brink of death, but instead I get stronger for every injury I sustain! You better finish quickly, or else I might catch up to you!" Cell threatened as he charged up his power to It's maximum
"Damnit, he must've also managed to receive the zenkai boost from all the fallen Cell Jr.s he absorbed!" Gohanks thought as he increased his own power, no longer was he playing around. Now he knows that he can't be pulling any punches, because there's wasn't a certainty that he could win now
"Stop!" A robotic voice commanded as both Cell and Gohanks turned to see who arrived. They saw 16, with Trunks' sword strapped around his torso
"Ah, 16! I expected as much! So what have you come to drop off for us?" Cell exclamed happily as 16 stopped before Gohanks
"I have arrived as soon as I could. I successfully managed to gather the Dragonballs, and I note that you have the same Ki readings as both Son Gohan and Trunks Briefs...here, use this, Trunks' sword." 16 said as he unsheathed the sword and passed it to Gohanks, who grabbed it and held it with a defensive stance
"Thank you 16. Now, leave before we have to restore another life." Gohanks said seriously towards the Android
"I see. Best of luck to the both of you." He said as he noticed a pink ball curled up high in the sky. He flew upwards to see Prestina, whom wrapped herself in a ball as she cried
"I see! I'm glad that I absorbed Dabura for this!" Cell exclamed as he morphed back into his Perfect Form and made a swift motion with his right hand. Dabura's curved sword appeared as Cell gripped it with his slimmer hand. It wasn't a significant decrease in power, the War Machine Form was currently only used for defensive protection and the bulky aesthetic
Both Cell and Gohanks dashed forward and swung their swords. They clashed as both held their swords in opposition as they struggled to overpower the other. After a few seconds, they dashed backwards and then forwards as they swung their swords again many times at the other, parrying and blocking attack after attack viciously
Up in the sky, 16 floated just behind the Majin Prestina, observing her. Although her energy readings were identical to the other mysterious fighter, she didn't seem hostile at all. Was someth going on then?
"Who are you? Why do you seem distressed?" 16 asked Prestina as the battle below raged on. Prestina looked up to see the tall, red haired man. She wiped a tear from her eye as she looked at the man
"...I'm all alone..."
16 understood that she was going through emotional stress, but he couldn't comprehend how to support her. He was an Android, he has yet to learn how to help humans in an emotional way. He put a hand on her shoulder as she continued to weep
"I am sorry, for I am unable to assist in your dilemma. I...have yet to grasp the concept of emotional support. But it seems that you are oblivious to the battle below." 16 said as Prestina looked downwards towards Gohanks and Cell as they continued to clash
"Oh...can you stay here, please..?" She asked shyly as 16 nodded along. If it helped, then he would stay with the mysterious girl
Gohanks struggled to overcome Cell as they clashed, they were nearly equal in power, but Cell was still weaker by a milestone. Still, Cell's cunning strategy kept the warrior on his toes every second as he parried and blocked his assault
Gohanks finally managed to land a strike, cutting through Cell's body easily, but Cell reluctantly swung once more, ignoring the horizontal slash that cut his body in half
Gohanks ducked as Cell's sword missed it's mark. He dashed backwards and charged Ki into his blade, the sword glowed brightly as he swung it multiple times. Each swing made a large line of Ki that flew towards Cell, who put his blade in front of him in an attempt to block the assault. Each thin blade of ki disintegrated as it slammed onto Cell's blade, but after a couple of hits his blade split in half and vanished, leaving Cell wide open for the remainder of the assault. Cell laughed as each strike cut directly through him in several ways for a whole minute, before Gohanks fired a normal Ki blast that destroyed his body once again
Cell's body shot out as Gohanks quickly dashed towards him. Cell fired multiple Ki blasts that Gohanks destroyed with swipes of his sword before he then flipped forward and brought his sword down onto Cell, cutting him vertically. He then swung his blade furiously in multiple directions and ended it all with a blast from his right hand to recreate Trunks' signature attack. Gohanks wasted no time as he shot various Ki blasts towards the floating pieces of Cell. After a few seconds, Gohanks looked around to see if Cell would appear anywhere
"Looking for someone?" Someone asked in a metallic voice before a large, armored hand grabbed Gohanks by the face. Cell flew low to the ground, dragging Gohanks' face on the ground as he went before stopped amd threw him skywards. He then cupped his hands at his sides as a blue ball of energy gathered at his hands
"Kamehame...HAAAAA!!"
The fusion recovered just in time for him to dash to the left, avoiding the large blue beam completely. He then charged his blade and was about to swing, only to barely notice that Cell grabbed the end of the beam and pulled it to the left, forcing the beam to chase after Gohanks
Thinking quickly, he used the force of his swing and brought the sword onto the end of the Bending Kamehameha
Trunks' sword kept the beam from hitting Gohanks, but the beam pushed back, forcing Gohanks to hold the blade in place using both hands. Cell poured all his energy reserves into the beam, forcing Gohanks to be pushed away further. He then gathered enough energy to his blade and managed to fully swing the blade forward as another line of Ki opposed the beam
For a minute both parties struggled to overcome the other. After two minutes of struggle, the line of Ki finally managed to slice through the beam, splitting the tip into two halfs that disappeared as the beam disengaged
"THIS IS THE END!!" Gohanks declared as he threw his blade with enough force that it spun towards Cell and drove through his chest, right onto his heart. Cell struggled to recover as Gohanks dashed forward and kicked the hilt of the sword, driving it further through him
"KAMEHAME!!!" The fusion yelled as he poured all his might into his final attack as it met with Cell, who quickly put up a thin barrier that he used to barely sustain himself. Both Gohanks and Cell struggled for a long time, Cell barely clinging to life with as much energy as it took to keep the most of his body alive
But after three full minutes of struggle, things changed
Gohanks' immediately dropped like a stone as his body began to glow an orange light. Suddenly, the fusion split in half vertically as both half's morphed into Gohan and Trunks, both doing the Kamehameha pose. The beam disintegrated, and yet Cell lived with only his right arm and several burns throughout his muscled body. Cell smirked as he chuckled, his body shot back outwards as he went back to his Perfect Form, seeing no reason to retain his stronger for
"So it was a timed form. I personally thought it was permanent." Cell mused as he finally grabbed the hilt of the sword in his chest and pulled it out, allowing the rest of his body to heal. "Now then...time for you two to pay the price!"
Gohan barley noticed Cell as he was too distracted by his sudden defusion, until he realized that the Android was charging straight towards him with Trunks' sword at his side. He put both arms up to make a hastily made guard to no avail. Cell made a powerful Ki infused swing that cut through Gohan's waist. Cell then stopped behind Gohan and turned around
Trunks stared in horror as Gohan's body slowly began to be overtaken by light from the waist. After five long seconds, Gohan screamed as his whole body was now glowing, his top half floated upwards as his bottom half floated downwards. In the blink of an eye, Gohan's whole body violently exploded
Trunks, 16 and Prestina were shocked by the quick turn of events as Cell merely chuckled
"YOU BASTARD!!" Trunks yelled as he quickly turned into a Super Saiyan 2 and dashed towards Cell, but he chuckled as he easily stepped to the right to avoid Trunks' obvious attack. He then slammed his elbow against Trunks' head and drove Trunks' own sword through his chest, forcing him to drop the form immediately
Cell he let go of the sword and allowed Trunks to quickly fall towards the ground. He landed on his back, driving the sword through the concrete and forcing a scream of pain from Trunks. The Hybrid Saiyan put his powerless hands on the hilt of the sword, trying to pull it out, but his hands were weak resulting in him unable to remove the sword. Trunks violently coughed blood as he continued to try and remove his own sword from his chest. Cell floated down and removed Trunks' sword, allowing him to squirm in the ground freely
"That was an excellent display, now then, how about you try to get up." Cell mocked Trunks as he turned over and struggled to stand. The pain was unbearable, the sword nicked his heart and his lung which prevented him from breathing right. But it wasn't lethal, at least not yet
In the sky the Android and the Majin were both shocked and horrified by what happened, Gohan died and Trunks was on the verge of death. But Prestina also noticed 16 tense and prepare a battle stance, was he really going to fight Cell
"I'm left with no other options, I must prepare to fight."
"W-what? You're going to fight Cell?!" She asked with bewilderment. To her understanding Cell was her friend, someone that was so powerful that anyone who opposed him would die. She was scared to leave his side, and she was especially scared for this new, very friendly person
"Yes. If I do nothing then the world as we know it is at risk. Whatever Cell plans, whatever he thinks, it can be stopped now."
In the ground, Trunks sifted through his pocket and realized that the Senzu pill was still there, it was never destroyed!! He grabbed it and shoved it in his mouth, desperately chewing the soft pill to break it open out of habit. All the chemicals inside flowed into his throat like a small stream of cold water and in mere seconds the hole in his chest was patched. The Half Saiyan quickly stood to face Cell, now twice as strong but nowhere near as strong as Cell
"Looks like you recovered, it's a shame your recovery didn't grant you the saving grace you needed." Cell said before he positioned himself in a defensive stance to humor Trunks. The warrior ignored the blood soaked tank top as he powered up to a Super Saiyan 2 form yet again
Trunks dashed forward in an attempt to punch Cell, only for him to effortlessly dodge attacks while laughing. After a minute, he lightly kicked Trunks' chin and sent him flying at a stray building
Suddenly, a barrage of Ki attacks hit Cell from above as 16 flew down to punch Cell in the face. Surprisingly, he shook off the assault like it was nothing and looked to face his new assailant
"So, the pacifist came to fight? Now I've seen everything." Cell commented as he eyed 16, he blocked his next punch as he countered it with a flick to his head, sending the Android flying away. Cell ignored the Ki attacks as he dashed forward towards 16. He easily punched a hole in the Android's chest and slammed him to the floor. Trunks dashed back towards Cell, only for him to slap the Hybrid Saiyan away with his
Cell removed his right hand from 16's chest and lightly stepped on 16's right knee, cracking it. He then grabbed 16's left leg and threw him towards the building behind him. Trunks came back and dashed in once again, only for Cell to use his telepathy to grab him and slam him against to floor, right next to 16
The Time Traveler and the Android then stood in place. 16's head was exposed and his chest was as well. Trunks' clothing had a many holes in them. 16 limped as he fell to his left knee. Trunks looked over and grabbed 16's arm as he supported him enough to stand
"What do you plan to do once everything is over?" 16 asked as Cell put his right hand on his chin
"Well, I plan to destroy the Earth and all of it's inhabitants, then use the Dragonballs to restore everything and destroy it again." He confessed, surprising everyone around. "After a while I plan to blow up a few planets, just to get a kick out of it before finding a way to end my wretched life once and for all." Cell said simply as the other three looked shocked
While Cell was logical, he didn't really bother with setting many goals, since it was only hours ago that he knew freedom. It wouldn't hurt to do something here, something there. What was it he promised? To find Prestina's family! Afterwards things got fuzzy, but there was only so much he could think of before he'd grow bored with the world. Really the only other option would be to rule the universe as Frieza had done, but that didn't interest Cell. He just wanted to have his fun while he could, and ruling the universe gives no real high for Cell. And neither does saving a useless planet
Prestina flew down from the sky and landed between Cell and Trunks with a conflicted expression on her face, she was all to sure what she was doing at that point. "You can't just destroy this planet! You just can't!"
"On the contrary I can, but if you're worried about the sights then there's no rush, I'm sure we can manage keeping it around a little longer." Cell offered, but Prestina shook her head
"No! You can't kill innocent people! Please, I'm begging of you, don't do this!" She continued to plead, but to no avail
"I can and I will. Now stand aside or else you won't be able to see your parents again." Cell threatened. He didn't exactly have a grudge with the innocent girl, but those who get in his way are his enemies, no matter how he felt
Prestina teared up by the threat, she wanted things to go back to normal, she didn't want any of this!
"If I do nothing then the world as we know it is at risk."
And yet she couldn't bring herself to back down, if these people were in trouble then there should be something that she could do!
With only half of a resolve and even less confidence, the petite Majin imitated a fighting pose, albeit rather badly. She didn't know what she was getting herself into, just that she had to take a stand against this oppression
"A shame, I really liked you too. But you've been warned." Cell said before he disappeared in the blink of an eye and reappeared just in front of her. With no time to react she was sent flying backwards by a punch to her gut, a feeling so new and agonizing that she couldn't get back up from the rubble she crashed into
"You monster!" Trunks yelled as he ran after Cell with his sword on hand. He attempted to make several slashes at Cell's face, only for each and every attack to be blocked by two of his fingers, followed by him grabbing the sword and breaking it in two
Cell took the opportunity to grab him by the arm and fly after 16 to use him as a weapon against the robot, whacking him violently using the Half Saiyan like a baseball bat and then chucking him towards the ground
Trunks landed beside Prestina with a violent thud. Prestina only held her stomach in pain as she looked at the hero that laid in front of her. Her thoughts raced before she finally settled on what to do
Prestina leaned over and put a hand on Trunks' stomach, pink light emitted from her small hand as his body regained consciousness and stamina. His bruises were healed and he felt reenergized. However, when the process was complete Prestina fell to the floor unconscious, having spent all of her stamina
"...Thanks..." He said as he looked at the pink woman before standing to his feet. He looked to his side to see 16 buried in rubble many feet away
"You're all alone, what's your plan now Trunks!" Cell taunted
"How about we defeat you once and for all Cell!" A voice said as the two turned to see Vegeta. He wore the earrings that resembled the Kai's, but they were orange in color. Vegeta also had a halo over his head
"Father...what are yo-"
"There's little to explain. Kakarot brought me here and the Supreme Kai wants us to fuse using the earrings this time, they're apparently less embarrassing and less complicated to use than that dance." Vegeta said bluntly as he took off the right earring and gave it to Trunks, who was still confused
"But, why you?"
"Because we have at least one thing in common, we have the same royal Saiyan blood in our veins! As long as there is one thing in common with your partner, then you have the ability to fuse. Otherwise the fusion fail. The reason why you fused with Gohan is because you are both Half Saiyans. Now put the damn thing on before I lose my patience!"
Yet Trunks did not grab the earrings, instead he stared at Vegeta in disbelief and betrayal. It wasn't that he didn't understand what to do, but rather he didn't like what he had to do. This was the man that killed his new family, the same that nearly killed it seven years ago, and the same man who destroyed countless planets before that. He couldn't bring himself to trust Vegeta anymore, there was simply too much that he's done
And yet Vegeta recognized the look and sighed. "Son...you don't have to forgive me. What I did was wrong and I know it...there's no way I can ever repent for my mistake," he began, "but if we don't fuse right now we will never stop Cell, and we'll never be able to fix things again."
After a few more moments to recollect his thoughts, Trunks nodded and grabbed the earring, attaching it to his opposite ear
Cell saw this exchange with a familiar anger rising in his blood. Why did they speak of him in such a way? Why did they say that those year of torture was a mistake? They weren't taking him seriously were they? Did he mean nothing to them! Did his pain mean nothing to them! Well it should! And he'll have to prove it!
Trunks finished putting on the earring as both father and son stared at their common enemy. Suddenly, both Vegeta and Trunks began to float towards each other. Both Vegeta and Trunks crashed into each other as there was a flash of blue light. Cell covered his eyes as he was blinded by the light. After a few seconds, the light died down as Cell looked at the impressive sight of ANOTHER fusion standing in front of him
The warrior had white boots with yellow toes like Vegeta's and he wore the same grey colored sweat pants but also a white with yellow armor chest plate. The fusion wore Vegeta's white gloves, along with the pair of Potara Earrings and Vegeta's halo floated over him as well. His face had the same nose and eyes as both of them and he had spiked black hair, only there were two bangs over his forehead and the sides of his hair was purple
"Hmph, another fusion. No matter, I'll take care of you the same way I did the other." Cell exclamed angrily as he powered up to his fullest
He knew what he was in for, Vegeta's Saiyan fighting experience matched with Trunks' careful nature. He understood that beating Gohanks was a fluke, as he mistakenly allowed him to recover from his injuries. This fusion was MUCH more powerful than Gohanks, and Cell knew that he wouldn't allow him to even think about recovering
"Today is the day you die Cell! For I, am Vegenks!!" The fusion named himself as he immediately powered up to his Super Saiyan 2 form
He dashed forward and punched Cell in the face, burying him into the ground. Vegenks grabbed his leg and slammed him against the ground multiple times before finally throwing him upwards and suddenly appearing above him to kick him back towards the ground. He created several Ki attacks that chased after Cell, each blast destroying a portion of of him unlike last time. Vegenks raced back downwards as he violently assaulted Cell's body with a flurry of punches, each blow burrowed the two further into the ground until the both of them were in a large hole
"Hahahahahaha!!! Just like what you've in the past, right Vegeta?!" Cell exclamed in an insane form of excitement as Vegenks grabbed Cell's head and threw it skywards in annoyance
Vegenks used a large amount of energy to propell himself after Cell, widening the hole that he dug even more. He was was above Cell as he made a chop motion that hit him in the face, breaking the exo-skeleton on impact. He then flew in a curved direction and stopped in front of Cell and to make yet another chop motion, sending him in a different direction. Vegenks repeated this action several times before doing one chop motion that managed to split Cell in half. Cell's top half fell to the ground as Vegenks grabbed the lower half and destroyed it with a ki blast. The fusion slowly flew down as Cell died of laughter
"HAHA!!! HAHAHA!!! Who knew that Vegeta would finally put an end to me!!! Oh how I have WAITED for you to complete your promise!!" Cell laughed hysterically as he refrained from regenerating his body once more, this was it, this was the moment he would finally know peace!
Vegenks loomed over Cell as he continued to laugh. It was funny for Cell, the least likely proved to be the most probable. In all the memories he has gathered, the Dragon Warriors have managed to bullshit their way out of global and even galactic destruction time and time again. It seemed that Cell's life truly didn't matter, he was just another stepping stone for the Saiyans to overcome in the eyes of fate. Finally, he will get to experience the sweet luxuries of Hell, knowing that nothing really mattered in the end
Nothing that he felt, nothing that he experienced mattered. He was a wisp in the wind, a wave of the vast ocean
"...I'm sorry Cell...I'm sorry for turning you into this mess. I'm sorry for ruining your life for my pride...and I'm sorry, for not realizing it sooner. I acted out of vengeance and hatred for you...and that is something that can never be forgotten..." Vegenks said as Cell laughed more, tears now dropping in his eyes
"Spare me the apologies, VEGETA!! You knew full well what you were doing! You knew that your pride was greater than any life on Earth, and far greater than mine!" Cell exclaimed as the fusion seemed to cringe at hearing him. "You only care about yourself, not me! You've never cared about my life that you threw away from pride!! So spare me the apologies, because I'll be on your mind for the rest of your puny existence! I'll be the memory of a moral low in your life that can't be forgotten! And thinking about your HYPOCRISY is comedy enough!" Cell yelled with a stream of tears falling from his face as Vegenks' sad face returned to a stoic expression. He held out a hand as he charged a Ki attack that was strong enough to kill Cell
"Goodbye world!! I'll never miss any of this! Hear me!! None of it!!!!"
Vegenks yelled before the blast was finally released. It landed upon Cell as it disintegrated each piece of his body slowly. After a minute, all that remained of Cell was an afterthought, a simply crater amongst the ruined city...he has successfully been eliminated
