Cell Saga- Part 2
Two Super Saiyan youths staring at Humanity's greatest threat.
"Leave this freak to us Yamcha." Trunks said, while Goten moved from the bandit, now standing side to Trunks.
"Thanks boys, but be careful, Cell is tricky and powerful." He warned as he now recovered.
The half Saiyan looks back to him with a thumbs up, Cell could have mistaken him for Goku.
'So that's who these brats are.' He couldn't believe that there's one more in the Son family, and Trunks being Vegeta's offspring.
"To think the last of the two Saiyans from prestigious families will soon cease to exist today."
All of them look towards Cell's laughter.
"Hey freak, enough talking let's get to it." Young Briefs called out which stunned the bio-droid from the intrusion.
"Let's show him Goten." The younger Saiyan nods as they both begin to power up. The results of their time training for the fight for humanity is about to begin.
Yamcha has a smile on his face as he watches them going full power, while Cell looks on in interest, their power is even stronger than their predecessors when they were alive.
"Hope you're ready, Cell." In unison.
Cell finds this amusing, Earth's last hope on the back of children.
"Yamcha, how pathetic you haven't learned from last time what happened you relied on a child to save Earth from me? Young Gohan died along with your friends." His cruel smirk grew.
Goten frowned at the mention of his brother he never met, hearing much about him from his mother and seeing the loss as his denying to come back to life hurt her.
Enough was all they needed to hear as both boys charged at him, who instantly went in the air as they followed.
Exchanging blows that sound like tanks, Cell kept pace with both of them attacking at once.
He sends a strong kiai at them, blowing them away his target is Trunks who recovered with an after image before Goten comes from the air and sends a knee strike to Cell's back which propels him towards the ground.
Trunks then spam ki attacks as the ground caves further in the already destroyed battlefield.
The smoke settles before Cell appears and yanks the hair of Trunks, tossing him away while Goten charges at the bio-droid but is met with a viscous elbow to the jaw which sends him hurtling through the sky.
Cell then sends multiple combos as Goten hadn't recovered from the previous assault.
Trunks forms a Kamehameha, but before Cell could react, Goten headbutts him in the gut as he glides towards it, impacting his body further.
'Great teamwork guys!' The scarface bandit cheered but he knows there's plenty more work to do.
"Woah Trunks you totally nailed him with that Kamehameha." Goten exclaimed but Trunks was still on alert.
"Goten watch out!" Just like that Cell used his Namekian abilities stretching his hands to both of them, looking irritated as his breathing slightly paced.
"Quite the unit but let's see how y'all do when the air leaves y'all pipeline." Trying his best to suffocate them. Struggling to get free from Cell grasp, as if a light bulb went out, they bite his hands, causing him to yelp in pain and ultimately let go.
Now freed, they grabbed his arms, opposite from each other, playing tug of war.
"You brats let go!" Growing impatient, but they just smiled before continuing their assault.
Now swinging around the now captive Cell, swirling fast enough to get a headache before tossing him in the air as his body is dangling.
Catching himself, he'll be quick on his feet as he starts flying away from this unpredictable duo.
'He's getting slower, fatigue is wearing thin, he knows he has to end it soon, but he worries that he might not have enough in the tank to deal with me.'
Yamcha is ready to finish everything if needed, but his faith in his students is too strong.
Cell grins, "SOLR FLARE." Blinding everyone, turning back to his enemies as he starts charging one of Vegeta's signature moves.
"Fools, Gallick Gun!" A large purple beam thrust out of his palms as he extends his arms as it clashes towards the two kids.
Yamcha is still clenching his eyes, sensing that large amount of energy knowing it is coming from Cell.
'Trunks, Goten. Y'all must focus and use all your senses, it's life or death. Don't fail the Earth now!'
With that they concentrated, temporary blindness doesn't mean they can't hear or sense ki.
On cue the duo had very little time so their combined attack had to even out to match Cell's gallick gun.
On the lookout, everyone on edge as this beam struggle can determine the faith of the Earth.
Chi-Chi as some others are panicking, "Goten you can do it, I can't afford to lose another of my boys." She cries as she buries her face in Ox king's chest as he comforts his daughter.
"You got this Trunks." Bulma said, putting all her faith in him.
"With all of this energy I don't think the planet can take it!" Roshi said as he held on his cane harder, but Dende knew better, thanks to their wish all those years ago Earth can't blow.
The strain in each of their muscles, Trunks and Goten falter back a bit as Cell holds the slight advantage.
By this time the effects of solar flare had cleared as they now can see, Trunks realizing they're losing as the experienced fighter continues to add more energy, "Yes I can feel you slipping!" Cell taunts.
Trunks' arms are burning but he won't give up, neither will Goten.
Memories flood during their training at Kame house, to the bonds they've made and what's at stake.
Flashback
Age 772, young Goten and Trunks were training on a mountain wearing turtle shells.
While Goten was having the time of his life, the other halfing wasn't a fan of it.
Yamcha and Master Roshi were entertained by them.
"Come on guys, we still have more deliveries to do!" Goten was ready to go as he grabbed his milk cartons, on the other hand Trunks looked away in disgust.
"Why do we have to do something so…ridiculous?" Trunks complained, while Yamcha rubs the back of his head knowing where this'll lead.
"It's not, ridiculous squirt!" Roshi yelled in his pupil's face. "I swear you kids have no manners or patience these days."
Trunks arms are crossed while he turns away, "It's bad enough we can't fly during these deliveries, I don't see how this will make us stronger." He would rather be off studying.
"I can feel your frustration kid, I was the same way when Master Roshi had me do these exercises. But it's not all about strength, but endurance, and your mentality." Trunks looks up at his master as does Goten.
"That's one thing we want you boys to get out of this training is the fundamentals and mental training. What good is bench pressing a planet if y'all lack focus and basic skills?"
Understanding his point, Yamcha hands Trunks back his trays and pat him on the shoulder.
"Good, let's get going with deliveries." He laughs at his student facial expression.
End of flashback
"I understand." He muttered to himself, as if new fuel entered his tank, he added more power to the Kamehameha, leveraging Goten to do the same as the now Gallick Gun is overun, much to the displeasure of Cell.
"Come on Goten!" In sync they overpowered Cell as their combined kamehameha overwhelmed Cell's Gallick Gun as it engulfs him, eradicating him from existence as the blasts attached to Cell sent outer space.
Trunks pants and hover down as he breathes heavily. Goten is back in his base as he sighs tiredly.
They can't believe it, Earth once again is at peace, thanks to these two boys.
Everyone on the lookout is celebrating at the defeat of Cell, there's no way Cell could come back from that attack.
Dende however wouldn't be so confident. 'Dende, can you hear me?' The voice of Yamcha called out.
'I'm here Yamcha.' He replied as Yamcha's voice sounded stoic.
'I need you to confirm with King Kai to see if Cell is really dead.' Dende complied, as he connected to North Kai, who was checking in with King Yemma.
'Oh no, this is bad.' King Kai is visibly shaken, as the dead warriors from Earth who were celebrating not too long ago, see the Kaio's obvious concern.
"What's wrong King Kai? Cell's dead, right? No way could he have survived that even with regeneration." Krillin pointed out trying to be the voice of reason.
Piccolo too had an eerie feel about this. "Cell would have been at the station by now." This is bad then that confirmed everything King Kai had felt.
"Dende..Yamcha, Cell is still alive!" Immediately they were on alert.
"Boys, watch out Cel-"
Just then a death beam struck Goten's chest, which caused the young Saiyan to cough up blood and fall lifelessly on the ground.
Trunks and Yamcha eyes widened, seeing the fallen Saiyan child.
ZIP, Cell returns with a menacing grin as he stares at the remaining two, "Oops, seems like y'all failed to stop me once again."
"Goten!" Yamcha rushes towards his student, Trunks is stunned, not moving.
Everyone on the Lookout is shocked, Chi-Chi fainted while Bulma and everyone else cursed at this Bio-droid.
"Damn Cell, is he really indestructible?" 18 said out loud, everytime he seemingly is dead he somehow comes back.
"Poor Goten, he got blindsided but there's still a chance we can win." Everyone paid attention to Dende.
"I'm going to heal Goten, he's in critical condition but he's still alive."
Yes this is perfect, if Goten can be healed then their chance to win is still doable.
Back on the battlefield, Yamcha forces some of his ki in Goten to temporarily heal him.
"Trunks, we have to fight him together. He's back stronger than ever." Cell power is stronger than ever, it's almost like he gained a zenkai boost.
'Yes, besides Yamcha that other brat on his last leg, perfect. I'm at my limit, I would have died had I not use my ultra regeneration but they don't stand a chance against me at full power.'
Over the years he has evolved further in his perfection, Cell wasn't just a biological warrior, he became more than that, he's the strongest being in the universe.
No matter who stepped in front of him, they all failed. Vegeta, Piccolo, the earthlings, Goku and Gohan. They are no more than evidence of his superiority.
However, he feels something about young Trunks that he hasn't felt in a long time.
His ki growing bigger, yes that's it, he's becoming the same like Gohan when he fought him at his Cell games.
"Yes, become my next victim." Fully confident in his abilities.
Just then, a big explosion emerged, pushing back Yamcha as he gathered his footing and stepped back to take Goten farther from the scene.
"Trunks, you're doing it." But will it be enough? He's not sure but with Trunks ascending beyond a Super Saiyan, he's their best option.
His hair spiked upwards, mirroring his Future counterpart with his hair growth, his muscles toned and bulked further as his pupils faded out, all his rage and emotions pouring out.
Otherworld.
"I can't believe it, he became a Super Saiyan 2 even younger than Gohan." Future Trunks couldn't believe it, feeling proud to know his younger self has reached levels further than he had at his age.
Piccolo facial expression serious as ever, "Yes, Trunks has done it but can he win? Cell still has the slight advantage."
'I wouldn't be so sure of that, Trunks' power is still settling in.' King Kai thought, now he just hopes that his lack of experience won't hurt him.
Trunks body is filled with electricity, his pupils return as he turns towards Cell, not wasting words.
Cell ready himself as his golden hue rises, hovering down as he walks up to the boy as they stare holes at each other.
"Hope you are ready, boy." He taunted.
Trunks wouldn't bite as he simply used his newfound speed and punched Cell in his stomach as his fist bulged through, catching Cell by surprise before a roundhouse kick sent him away as he crashed against the boulder.
"So fast!" Cell remarked, as he planted in the rock while Trunks with anger in his eyes.
"Get up Cell, I'm tired of seeing your ugly mug." Insulted the son of the Saiyan prince, which Cell quickly retaliated, blasting through the debris as they exchanged blows which sound like meteors.
"You arrogant little shit!" Both break sound barriers as they journey across the field matching blow for blow.
Cell frustration peaks, he realizes that they weren't on equal footing, but rather Trunks actually a step faster, he purposely making him feel that he was on equal footing.
How dare this brat mock him, the bio-droid wouldn't have it as he is now starting to blast death beams at the half Saiyan, but he'll dodge them smoothly as Cell starts to get sloppy with his attacks.
This whole fight right now is a case of deja vu for the Earthling who's watching. Only thing Yamcha can hope for is that he doesn't fall prey like most Saiyans do when they have the advantage.
Furious now, Cell adds a few destructo disks towards Trunks who flies away, while the disk chases him.
Having enough, the young Super Saiyan 2 warrior powers up, dispersing the disk in his golden orb.
Spreading his palm, his burst of energy implodes on Cell, who flings back but catches himself, feeling embarrassed he lost sight of where Trunks was at.
"Pst, behind you." Stunned, Cell slowly turns around but is met with a fist to the jaw and double axe handle, once again plummeting towards the ground.
"If you're not up for the task we can always reschedule until you feel better." Mocked the halfling, his face still serious as ever.
Cell erupts from the ground, covered in bruises. "You dare mock me, squirt!? You're only making this worse for yourself, your father made the same mistake, as did little Gohan and they're dead. By the way how's your mother been? It must be pretty har-" His words wouldn't finish as Trunks gave him a headbutt.
His body flings back as he tries to catch himself but the momentum was too much for him to stop.
Trunks caught him with a double knee to his spine, diving full speed ahead towards the ground.
Now plastered on the pavement, Cell would feel pain he never thought would be imaginable. How can a mere child, Super Saiyan or not, can up him in a fight he clearly has no experience in?
"I won't stand for this!" Cell roared, blood trickled from his mouth, as his body was still pinned to the ground. Once again he did a Solar flare, which blinded everyone in vicinity.
ZIP, he instant transmission far above the sky as he raised enough energy.
The orbit of his ki above his head, similar to Frieza's Death ball. "To hell with this planet!" Launching his attack to the Planet's core, his intentions to blow the planet up.
Trunks finished rubbing his eyes, instantly moved out of the way but unable to stop the attack.
"You coward!" The Saiyan youth retort, feeling hope is lost. He looks for both Yamcha and Goten. "We might still have a chance to escape."
Rushing towards them, Yamcha motions to Trunks to stop, which confuses him.
Laughing, "Yes, this planet is now finished!" He claimed but something felt off. "Why isn't the planet evaporating?" His memories replayed when Frieza tried to destroy Namek and failed.
But this isn't the same, he's sure the core was hit, but now only potential of volcanic corrosion forming from the surface.
Yamcha just chuckled while Cell notices, "What have you done!?" Livid that his plan has failed.
"The Dragonballs." All he needed to say, Cell was surprised by this, though under normal circumstances he wouldn't be surprised, after all they had 9 years to prepare.
This however is infuriating, for the first time in a longtime he's cornered with no way out.
'He's stronger but my power is still within reach, I must find an exploit." Desperation slowly starts to creep.
Cell once again powers up, both once again clash, this time Cell was able to gain the advantage.
His fist connected to Trunks' jaw, which directed his head upwards, he then gripped on his gi and sent multiple punches to his face.
"Don't hear you making jokes now." His face twisted in pure malice but what he saw next pissed him off.
Looking unamused, Cell trembles at the sight of the young boy.
It's deja vu all over again as memories flashback to Gohan at the Cell games.
"No! I won't stand for this!" he pouts as he refuses to lose.
"It's over Cell, you toyed with too many lives." His fist clenches, ready to end this once and for all.
'NOW' Sending a Death Beam straight towards Goten, Trunks reacted too slowly but fortunately for him Yamcha blocked his attack, but just then Cell transmitted and kicked him across the land.
Out of commission, Cell prepares a Kamehameha, much to Trunks' realization that it could end his master's life, he steps forward as he takes damage from the Full power wave.
Covered in cuts and burnt marks, the half Saiyan hair turned black and passed out.
Yamcha slowly regains consciousness, realizing what happened as he looks at Trunks who protected him from the attack.
Cell smirk, "It took half of my energy but that's all I need now that little twerp is no longer a threat, so Yamcha, how does it feel? To be a waste fail once again?"
His words hit the human deep, he let everyone down once again, had he not learned after these 9 years.
"It's not over yet Cell, I'll die before I let you continue to wreak havoc on Earth and this universe." Powering up, ready to still fight.
Cell just spat before doing the same. "Oh but you will."
In the otherworld, King Kai prepares to send the word to King Yemma.
Future Trunks steps in, "King Kai, I want to head to Earth to fight that demon, please you have to let Yemma grant me 24 hours."
Hearing his pleas, North kai shakes his head, "No need Trunks, I already have it covered."
'King Yemma, can you hear me?'
'Ah, King Kai, I do and yes I already sent word to Goku to come here immediately.'
King Kai was glad, finally Earth can be saved, but at what cost if they're too late?
Now on Earth, Trunks slowly will recover from the ground, looking at Yamcha who's calm as ever then at Cell whose face is sure of his victory.
"Yamcha, I-" But what he hears next is chilling.
"It's okay Trunks, you did well. You far surpassed me, I know this wasn't your fight and it's not fair for me to put this pressure on you two, forgive me."
Trunks, still confused about what he is getting at. "Don't be dumb! We can still win, you said it yourself." Yamcha just laughs inwardly, despite Trunks not knowing his father, he still carries his attitude.
"Listen to me, don't move because this attack I never had practice on. I'm going to kill Cell once and for all."
But how is he planning to do that? He can tell that the human ki is not strong enough to fight Cell, even with Kaioken until it hits him.
"No, Yamcha."
"Tell 18-Lazuli I'm sorry, Trunks, you're Earth's guardian." His body starts to glow, as this isn't regular ki but his own life energy.
On the lookout, everyone is silent. "What is Yamcha planning?" finally ask Bulma.
"He's sacrificing himself to save us all." Roshi said, clutching his crane.
"But how? Cell can just regenerate." Bulma argued, however Chaotzu stepped in.
"Yamcha learned under the arts me and Tien studied." Recalling the events shortly after the Cell games, much like the Tri-beam he created his own version.
18, in deep thought. After that night he was a constant presence on her mind.
Throughout the years memories of them bonding and training together. He gave her hope.
'You a fool.' trying her best to hide her emotions.
'You're the best Yamcha, you truly gave us a new future.' Thought Master Roshi.
"So weakling, still have some left in you?" But his grin disappears when he sees the look in Yamcha's eyes.
This wasn't a look of someone not sure of the result of the fight, this the look of someone who was going to win.
'Trunks, Goten, Master Roshi, Bulma, and Lazuli. We are finally at peace once again.' His body almost moving instantaneously towards Cell, his face mimics that of a wolf as his punches torches Cell's body instantly, every hit tearing and destroying both of their cells.
"The nightmare over Cell, die! Wolf Fang Echoe!" In his silver glow Cell could have sworn he saw an actual Wolf imitating Yamcha's movements as both warriors are now far within the space atmosphere, both caught in the explosion as every cell in the bio-droid is destroyed.
"I'm Perfe-" Cell's last words as his body evaporates.
"We did it." Yamcha grinned as everyone was saved.
Earth knows peace once again thanks to Goten, Trunks, and Yamcha.
That's it and finally Cell is dead! What will happen now? I assure you everything will only get interesting now that our heroes can finally move on.
The next chapter will officially close the Cell saga as we enter another saga but that'll be a surprise.
That's it for now and here are the official power levels I made so far.
