"He's scared! After seeing Mr. Satan's power, the only thing the once arrogant monster feels is fear!" The newscaster presents loudly and excitedly. "It's too late for forgiveness, bub! The citizens of Earth will never forget Cell's crimes!"
"Come at me!" Hercule Satan exclaimed as he got into a fighting stance.
"The Cell Games, which will determine the fate of mankind, has begun! Mr. Satan, the Champion of The World, will fight against Cell! His iron fist will avenge all who cell has killed!"
"The rules are simple! If one falls out of the ring, surrenders or dies, you lose!" The newscaster recites. "We're on your side, Mr. Satan! We know you can kill the bastard dead!"
"YAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
Hercule Satan then launches a kick at Cell's face. Cell seems completely unphased.
"Right out the gate, Mr. Satan has launched a vicious attack! His Dynamite Kick has hit Cell right in the face! Has this battle already been decided?!"
As the newscaster continued talking, the Z fighters were watching in the background.
"...I feel bad for him. I know we'll bring him back with the Dragon Balls, but..." Gohan started.
"Wow! Mr. Satan is hitting him with a barrage of punches! Cell isn't even fighting back! It's just what we expected from Mr. Satan!"
"...Right, that's enough of that, I think." Cell prepared to knock the clown out of the ring-
"Get-"
But Hercule Satan grabbed Cell by the arm.
"!?"
"...Just what do you think you're doing?" Mr. Satan asked, his voice low, his demeanor changed from his previously boisterous self. "You're using Ki! Like a cheater!"
" " "...Huh?" " " -Cell, and the Z-fighters
"Don't try to hide it! I felt that energy building up! You were gonna fling me out of the ring with that sneak attack, weren't you?!"
"Oh?! It looks like Mr. Satan's getting angry! What could he be-"
A fist was thrown. Cell's features morphed into one of surprise. Hercule Satan had dodged his punch.
"And there it is again! You're using Ki to make your attacks stronger! You weren't planning on fighting fair, were you?!"
"...You could sense the Ki I was using?" Cell said in surprise. "Wait, you were expecting me to not fight with Ki?"
"Of course! It's TV, idiot! How are the viewers gonna see the fight if you use Ki?!" Hercule Satan scolded. "Are you some kind of newbie to show-biz?!"
"...I've literally used Ki to destroy the entire military."
"And?! How's this gonna sell, dimwit?! If the viewers can't see anything, they won't buy more VCRs!"
Cell shook himself out of Hercule's grasp.
"...It looks like I underestimated you. I thought you were some kind of clown putting on a show, but it looks like you're an actually competent fighter!" Cell exclaimed. "You dodged my attacks, not once, but twice. Which means it's not a fluke."
"So..."
Cell appeared in front of Hercule Satan, an energy ball in his hands.
"...I can actually have some fun."
The ball of Ki exploded, right in front of Hercule Satan.
As the smoke cleared, it revealed that all the blast did was blow Hercule Satan's brown gi top clean off.
"...Oh, that does it, Bub."
Cell and the Z-fighters felt a chill on their backs.
Hercule Satan was releasing an immeasurable amount of Ki. The very surroundings seemed to be warped by Satan's blood red aura.
"You want a real fight?"
A sudden gut punch left Cell reeling.
"T-this power?!"
"I'M GONNA BEAT YOU SO BAD EVERY CELL IN YOUR BODY IS GONNA PRAY FOR MERCY! OR THE NAME MY MOMMA GAVE ME ISN'T-"
A punch knocked Cell towards the edge of the ring.
"MARK!"
Before Cell was thrown out of bounds, Hercule Satan appeared to kick threw Cell into the air.
"HERACLES!"
Hercule appeared behind Cell, and smashed Cell into the ring with a double hammerfist.
"SAVAGE!"
And so, Hercule Satan proceeded to beat Cell black and blue.
"Oooooh! It looks like Mr. Satan is finally getting serious! U-Unfortunately, we can't see anything happening..." The newscaster remarked.
The speed at which they were fighting- or, rather, the speed at which Hercule Satan was demolishing Cell with wasn't visible to most viewers.
Though everyone knew that Hercule Satan, Champion of Earth was taking revenge on the monster who killed so many people, the viewers at home were left with...
...an anticlimactic view of explosions happening in the ring, unable to see their Champion in action.
[The Z-fighters...]
"...Boy, after all of that training, who knew that the Champion was going to be the one to beat Cell, huh?" Goku joked.
"...I was kind of rooting for Cell the entire time." Krillin added. "I sure didn't see this one coming."
"C-Can you see what's going on? Cause I can't..." Future Trunks remarked.
"Nope." "Can't see anything." "Not really."
"...Woah, Mr. Satan's kicking butt!" Gohan said. "He's really strong!"
"Of course I am!" The dust settled to show Hercule Satan holding up a terribly injured Cell, held up by his throat.
"I'M HERCULE SATAN! CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!"
Though they couldn't hear it, the viewers at home were cheering in awe at their champion.
"...Didn't he say his name was 'Mark Heracles Savage'?" Trunks added.
