Chapter Eleven : The Strongest Fighter

Goku backflipped and grabbed Cell's arm,throwing him over his shoulder.He touched lightly on the edge of the ring and then jumped back into it,meeting Goku's punch with his knuckles.
Satan, the cameraman, the reporter, Karoni, Pirozki and Piza watched with awe at the magnificent battle.
Cell flipped over and kicked Goku upwards.
"Ha!"Goku shouted,and he fired a ball of blue energy down at Cell who was watching him intently.It hit Cell's face and exploded sending smoke everywhere,but Cell was unharmed.Goku appeared beside Cell and kicked his head into the ground,but Cell butted upwards into Goku's foot.
Goku punched and his arm went over Cell's shoulder.Cell kneed upwards into Goku's stomach,and sent his elbow down onto Goku's bent back.
Come on Goku...defeat my creation... 20 thought.
Goku flipped to avoid Cell's next punch and their arms met.The dissapeared and reappeared in the sky,their arms in different poisitons.They appeared on the ground and Cell's foot was in Goku's hands.
"They're movin' fast!"Krillin commented.
"True martial artists"the old storkeeper said,his head turning with everyone else's as they watched the fighters.
Goku knocked Cell down to the ground and he smashed through several boulders,dust billowing in great clouds around him.
Goku fired some balls of blue energy which Cell deflected back at Goku,who dodged them.
"He said he was weaker than Cell..."Gohan murmured."Piccolo,does he have a chance?"
"Of course he does,dont be stupid!"Krillin said,waving his hand and the idea out of the window.
Goku looked up behind him to see Cell,firing down a blast of purple energy.It light his face and he at once sensed the immensity of Cell's power,and was thrown off guard.The energy attack hit him in the face and threw him back to the ground where he crashed into the stage and slid along the edge,but Cell was there to kick him back in.He flipped over and then fired a blast of golden energy.Cell knocked it aside,and Goku jumped high,Cell following him.
"Are we ready to end the pleasentaries?"Cell asked.
"Not yet"Goku replied.Cell appeared above Goku and knocked him to the ground.Goku hit the ring floor which a tremendous boom,sending cracks along it.He had placed his hands down like suction pads and let one leg absorb the hit.Cell touched lightly on the ground,his arms folded.
"Come on Goku,power up,your beggining to bore me"Cell moaned.Goku lashed out and kicked upwards but Cell dodged and fired a ball of energy into Goku's stomach,sending smoke into the ring.Goku appeared behind Cell but Cell grabbed his arm and threw him forward.
"Galic Gun!"Cell shouted,and a beam of purple energy shot from his palms,tearing through the smoke.It hit Goku and covered him,then exploded with an almighty noise.
"Wow...did Goku survive it?"Yamcha asked,sheilding himself against the light and the wind whipping at his clothes.
"Do you think you would have asked it as though you had just missed out on lunch if Goku had died?"Vegeta hissed,"Listen to your instincts,fool"
"What an explosion!What do you say on the matter,Mr.Hercule?"the reporter asked him.
"He's been planting bombs"Satan explained,"Such a fake..."
"Your so right,Hercule,and now that the hippy has been turned into a puff of smoke,you can go fight Cell cant you?"Piza said.
"Now...er...listen...hey look he's back on his feet!"Hercule cried,and they all turned to the ring.
Goku was kneeling down,wiping his face with his knuckle.
"Will you face me truly now,Goku?"Cell asked.Goku appeared in front of Cell,standing tall in the sky.They were inches away.
"Lets get on with this Cell,give the people a good show..."
"What do you mean?"Cell asked.
"I know your stronger,and I know I'm going to have to give up sooner or later..."
"I see,a jokester"
"I'm not joking,Cell"Goku said sternly."You'll have someone much,much stronger to face after me"
"Who?Vegeta?Trunks?"he said,pointing down.
"You'll see"Goku said.He pointed his finger,"Down"
They went downwards slowly like an elevator,and touched lightly on the ground.
Goku made his arms into a sheild over his chest and was covered in a golden aura as he began to scream,and Cell created his own aura and powered up in his strong,clear shout.Goku's hair shot higher and straightened,his eyes widened with power.His clothes rippled and then fell down again,and he lowered his arms.
"I see what you mean,Goku"Cell said."Oh well,this fighter better be good"
Goku kicked onto Cell's head and landed behind him,and as Cell turned Goku punched his face sending him into the ground,but before he could fall out of the ring he pushed himself back up.
"I've been noticing things,Goku"Cell said."This ring is too small-the tournament thing was just a publicity stunt.Lets get rid of it"
He pointed his hand to the white ring and it exploded,sending wind and smoke everywhere.
"And in a suicidal act Cell destroys his own ring-what does this mean,Hercule?"the reporter asked Satan.
"He's just planted explosives"Satan explained wisely,"And now with no ring he can use explosives all over the place"
"And...sir...the flying?"the cameraman asked tensely.
"Shut-up Nigel,I'm doing the interveiwing"the reporter hissed.
"Its...a mirror trick..."
Goku kneed Cell in the face but he dodged and kicked Goku in the back,He shot towards the ground and,followed by a ball of red energy hit it with an explosion.
"I remember when Goku was hard-pressed to defeat me"Tao said,"They were the days,eh?"
"I've done a lot of remembering of the old days"Krillin said.
"Goku improves very quickly.It is his Saiyan blood"16 said.
Cell peered into the smoke and felt something hitting him from behind and he shot down into the ground and smashed into it.
"Ryuken!"Goku shouted.He shot downwards,his right arm glowing.
"Whats that?!"Piccolo whispered.
Cell jumped high into the air at just the wrong time.Goku's fist turned into a giant golden dragon and burst through Cell's chest and then turned on itself and shot back through,exploding into Cell.Goku was breathing heavy.
"Has Cell gone down?"Tao asked.
"No..I dont think so.."Piccolo murmured.Goku rose high into the air,and turned to his friends.
"Relax,guys!"he called.Then he looked back down to see Cell there."Well,this is it!"
He tensed up and put his hands back."KA..."
A ball of blue energy appeared in his hands and began to spin very fast.
"He's doing his Kamehameha wave from there?"Yamcha said uncertainly.
"What does he mean,'This is it'...?"Gohan asked.
"He's not seriously firing from there,is he?!"Yamcha called out.16 appeared by Satan and the others and lifted them into his arms and further back,sheilding them with his bulk.
"ME..."
"What do you think your doing?!"Satan cried.
"Get back!"16 ordered,"Careful..."
"Is he gonna use one of his explosives?"Pirozki asked.
"Explosives?...Yes,the biggest"16 said,trying to convince them to stay put.
"HA-ME!"
"He wouldnt consider...from here...this..."Cell murmured.He remembered Vegeta firing a similar attack.He did concentrate it...but,this was bigger.Much,much bigger."He is!"Cell concluded in a shout.
He tried to move but found someone had hold of his foot.
Goku had appeared behind him and had hooked his foot around Cell's.
"HAAA!!!"he screamed,and the building energy was released,lighting up Cell's turned face.
"I...I cant dodge it...!"Cell murmured fearfully.
The giant attack smothered him,there was an almighty,earth-wrenching explosion,and Goku jumped back to where Satan just was before 16 had rescued him.Wind wipped him very hard,and he watched the blueness.In front of him,as the colour returned to sky and the energy died away,were two legs.
"Yeah!He did it!"Krillin shouted.
"He...he really did it!"Yamcha called out.
"Woo-Hoo!"Choatzu said.
"Thats my dad..."Gohan murmured.
Goku lowered his arms from the Kamehameha firing position,breathing heavily still.
The legs jumped up and the smiles faded from people's faces.The legs kicked Goku in the chin and he stumbled back,and Cell's body began to grow back.
"He...didnt do it..."Krillin said,lowering his cheering arms.
"That was a good warmup Goku..."Cell murmured."Lets get on with-"
"I GIVE UP!"Goku shouted for everyone to hear."CELL,I GIVE UP!"
"That...THAT COWARD!"Vegeta bellowed.
"Dad...what are you doing?!"Gohan murmured.
"What?!"Piccolo hissed,among others.
"Your stronger than me,Cell!"Goku shouted,"I acknowledge that!And now for your fighter!"
He blasted up towards the cliff as Vegeta turned furiously on Gohan.
"Fighter?What fighter is this you runt?!"Vegeta hissed.
"Leave him alone!"Kasama shouted,moving in front.
"Who is this teenage fool?"Veget asked,recoiling,and he felt Goku land in front,so he turned to him.
"Goku,what is up with you?Who is this fighter?"Trunks asked.
"Sometimes I dont understand you..."Piccolo whispered.
"Our fighter is here!"Goku boomed."One of you is stronger than I can ever be!"
"Who is it?"people murmured,looking at each other.
"That person is you,son"Goku said,kneeling down in front of Gohan."Son,you are the strongest fighter in world"
"What?The boy?!!"Vegeta called."Have you gone mad,you moron?"
"I can prove it"Goku said,standing up.
"Dad...no dad,no..."Gohan kept saying.
"Gohan,did you have any difficulty following our fight?"Goku asked.
"No"Gohan replied.
"And,how did you sense it?"
"I...I..."
"You compared your power level to mine and Cell's,didnt you?And what did you find?"
"That you and Cell werent fighting at full power"
"Well,I dont know about Cell,but I certainly was"
"QED..."Trunks murmured,catching on,"Gohan must be REALLY strong..."
"Is this true,boy?"Vegeta hissed,grabbing Gohan.
"Yes"Gohan replied.
"Then..."Piccolo muttered.
"Gohan,I have faith in you my son...unleash yourself...go fight.I have FAITH..."Goku said,and at that moment Gohan completely believed in himself and his father.He was spurred on by a burst of confidence and got ready to go down when two started ahead of him.
"NO!"Goku shouted,"19,20,NOO!!!"
"Huh?"Cell said,turning round as 20 and 19 descended on him."Ahh,master and his henchman..."
"Its time to end what I started,Cell"20 said."I'm going to destroy you and,if nessecary,myself in the process.It ends here Cell"
"This isnt nessecary,20!!Come back!"Goku called,but Tao gripped his arm.
"It wont work..he's a proud man..."Tao said sorrowfully.
Gero charged but Cell kicked upwards,and as 19 came dodged his punch and threw him to the ground.
20 landed in front of Cell.
"Gero,my creator,back away"Cell advised.
"I will not back down,Cell!"20 called.
"Goodbye,Gero"Cell whispered,and he drove his fist through 20's chest,sending robotics flying.
"Gugh...glah..."he murmured,and fell onto the ground.Cell kicked his body aside and it crashed into a cliff face and slid down.
"No,master!"19 and 21,who was still up on the cliff,called in unison.
Goku grabbed 21."We'll save him,21,stay back!"
19 charged but Cell kicked upwards and fired a ball of golden energy up at 19,but Piccolo was in the way to knock it away.
"Leave them,Cell!"Piccolo called."Come on,19"
The two of them flew back,Goku teleported down,grabbed 20 and appeared back up on the cliff and put him down.
"I'm sorry you guys had to suffer...Gohan,you must act now"Goku ordered.
"Ga....right dad"Gohan said,his face set.
"Gohan.You make me proud"Goku said,pridefully.
Gohan blasted down to Cell's level and landed down on the ground in front of him.
"So....this is the challenger"Cell murmured.
"Thats me"Gohan said."And I'm taking you down,Cell"
"The little Super Saiyan,eh?"Cell murmured.
"Dont underestimate him,Cell!"Goku called,"He's my son!And he's the strongest fighter in the world!"

The wind swept across the moor,taking dust with it.Hercule Satan's mind was quickly working an excuse for why he couldnt fight once the boy is defeated by Cell,the cameraman was feeling relieved that they had stopped moving about,and so he could keep his camera running for a reason.The reporter was happy that he had now some drama in his story;the story of a little boy and a monster.Millions of veiewers...
Piza wondered if Satan would ever take her on her promised dinner that night...
Chi-Chi was furiously screaming at the television as Ox-King sat dumbfounded;he would be a grandfather...AGAIN...
Bulma was watching intently with Master Roshi and her father,and they were just as angry at the thought of sending Gohan into battle.
All over the world outrage exploded over the thought of a little boy being sent out;child welfare,worridness about when he was gone,would Hercule be strong enough to stand up after that smashing into the cliff?
Tao was attending to Gero and said that he was alive and quite stable.Kasama was almost at tear-point at the thought of Gohan going out to fight Cell alone and Kajumi was eyeing Trunks devilishly.
"Should I let you land the first punch?"Cell asked lightly."Or should I land it?"
"I dont mind"
"Cell!"Goku called."Take a senzu bean!"he shouted,and he threw it down.Cell caught it and stared down at it.
"Now now,look here-he's signing your death warrant...what a foolish man"Cell murmured."He really does hate you"
"Or maybe he has lots of confidence in me"Gohan said.
"Take it whatever way that you want"Cell replied,and he ate the bean and swallowed,and his power returned to normal,his injuries disappering.
"Lets do this Cell"Gohan said,losing some of his confidence.
"It must be hard having to fight your father's battles for him"Cell said.
"Your...dont...your mind games wont work!"Gohan shouted.
"Dont get aggravated now,boy"Cell said in a horribly annoying tone like that of Gohan's one-day teacher,Mr.Shoe.
Gohan ran forward but then shot up,trying to confuse Cell.As he rose past Cell's face Cell grabbed his foot and threw him back down,and his tail wrapped itself around Gohan's neck.
"Gleah...Glugh...help!"Gohan moaned,struggling against it.
"Your pathetic,you little worm"Cell hissed.His tail released Gohan at high speed and he shot across the ground into a rock which crumbled over him.Cell raced to it and kneed his face out of the rock,scars over it and blood trickling from numerous cuts on it.As Gohan was flying fast,high in the air,Cell appeared there and kicked him down,very hard and fast.
"Gohan!"Piccolo growled,dashing to the edge of the cliff and staring down."Goku you fool!"
Goku smiled still.
"Goku,please!"Kasama begged.
"Kakaroto,are you trying to inject some pride or honour or courage to the runt?Dont bother.He is wasted flesh"
"You wont be saying that when he beat's Cell"
"There he is!"Krillin shouted,pointing down.Gohan was getting up out of the ground where he had been kicked.
"Final Flash!"Cell shouted,his legs thrown out and his arms placed together,interwoven,the two wrists touching.
A golden ball of energy created itself there and was fired along to Gohan.
Gohan panicked,staring wildly from side to side,then remembered something.Knock...It...Back! his father was saying...
It was coming closer.He placed his arm out and knocked it aside.The ball went shooting off and exploded in a cliff.His arm was searing with pain and felt hot.Did it feel like this with his father?What should he do?
"It...hurts..."he groaned.Cell appeared behind him and kicked him into the ground and his face hit it,covered in soil.
Cell picked Gohan up by his white Piccolo-cape,and put his hand to Gohan's face.A blue ball of energy was there.
"NO!"Gohan cried.His legs came out and kicked Cell in the face,sending him flying back,the ball of energy exploding over him.
Gohan dropped and hit the floor with a thud.
"Thats it,son!"Goku cried from atop the cliff.Gohan stood,brushing dirt off himself,and then decided it was time to take off the cape.He pulled it off and threw it away.Cell appeared in front of Gohan,and the stared coldly at each other.
"Sending a boy into a fight,disgraceful!"Piza was saying.
"I know"Satan agreed solemnly.
"Well,mistro,isnt about time you got up there and fought?"Karoni asked.
"I...er...would if...if my stomach pains would go away!"he said,fighting a grin as he climaxed his sentence as though something important had happened.He was grinning because he had finally thought up an excuse-though,he never doubted his abilities to do so.
"Stomach pains?"Everyone but Piza chorused.Piza was fiddling about in a small bag.
"I have just the thing"she murmured."Asprin,I think..."
"No...er...I break out in hives"Satan mumbled,thanking his lying abilities once again.
"Rectal Vitamans?"she offered.
"Ahh!"everyone else cried,backing away.
At the other end of the camera Chi-Chi was in hysterics.
"Gohan....will NOT BE FIGHTING...WAHHAHAHAHHA!"
"Chi-Chi you'll hurt your baby!"Ox-King said,struggling with her.
"I'm fine!I wish I hadnt told you,now..."she murmured.
"I've been thinking of names..."
"Can we focuse on the other child,PLEASE?!"
"What is that boy wearing...?"the reporter whispered,trying to see him as Satan struggled against Piza as she came forward with some medicine.Hercule chose this as an oppourtunity to get out of his rectal vitamins.
"He looks like a delivery boy!"
"A...a delivery boy?A blonde delivery boy,fighting Cell?"the reporter murmured."What a story..."
"He looks like a navy kid to me!"Pirozki said,steam billowing from his chimneys.
"An navy scout,Pirozki"Karoni corrected.
"Dont question the mistro!"Piza shreiked.
"Sorry"Pirozki and Karoni said together.
"They've got some serious issues"Nigel,the cameraman,muttered to the reporter,who blinked.
"Veiwers,listeners,we have an amazing new drama-a poor delivery boy,delivering food to the competetors-"
"What?"Nigel whispered."That never-"
"-delivering food to the competetors has been caught up in the battle and has no hope-let us watch and pray for the poor,unsuspecting child"
Cell kicked but Gohan grabbed the foot and threw it down.
"Cell,listen to me"Gohan said,dodging a punch.Cell stopped attacking."I'm not like my father"
"Your even more weak and cowardly than him,thats what!"Cell taunted.
"No..because I dont like fighting"Gohan continued sternly,"I dont like the thrill of the battle or the stench of the blood.Its sickening"
"What are they saying down there?"Krillin whispered.
"Not even my ears can pick it up"Piccolo hissed,straining to hear.
"So,not a fighter?Just a useless,weak runt?"Cell said.
"I may be weak but I'm not useless.I dont want to fight you Cell.Please,dont make me....we can end this now"
"End it now?END IT NOW?!"Cell repeated,his voice rising as he laughed."You honestly think,that on your whim,I will end what I am doing?"
"Yes"Gohan said,firmly.
"You've got things wrong,boy"
"Cell...please"
For a while Cell said nothing,then he whispered."I cant"
"What?"Gohan said,but Cell had headbutted him and he crashed along the floor and into a stone.
"Ahh!"he cried out in pain.He jumped up and a golden aura surrounded him.
"Cell!Please...DONT!"Gohan shouted.His hair was highlighted with a deeper,darker gold colour and his power burst higher,the aura stronger now.
"He's doing it!"Goku cried,jumping forward.
"Doing WHAT,Goku?Doing WHAT?"Piccolo asked.
Cell dashed forward and slapped Gohan around like a bag.His power improvement had done little.Cell kneed him upwards and appeared behind and knocked him down into the ground,kicking him along it,dirt smothering him.He coughed it out of his mouth.
"Eugh..."he moaned,spitting it away.Cell appeared on top of Gohan and kicked his face into the dirt.
"Squeal like the usless pig you are!"Cell hissed.He picked up Gohan and smashed him hard in the face and he slammed into a rock face.
Cell appeared in front on Gohan and then picked him off the rock wall,blood about him.He pulled him close to his chest and squeezed.
"My Super Squeezer"Cell murmured."Like a childs game"Gohan's stomach was about Cell's hips,and he was being dragged closer,feeling strain on his body.It felt quite nice,but then it began to hurt as Cell placed more pressure on.
"No,No!"Gohan muttered."NO!"
"Look...he's squeezin' him like a stress ball!"Krillin said,worridly.
"And the fate of the delivery boy is NOT pleasent!"the reporter said.
"Cell...please..."Gohan mumbled,his eyes half closed.Cell dropped him and then kicked him away.Though he managed to stand again.
"Cell...I must tell you...that..."
"What?"
"That...you musnt anger me,or pressurize me..."
"Dont be a...what?"
"Because...because when I am angry I cant control myself"
"Wha-"
"There's been an uncontrollable energy trigger inside me since birth.Whenever I am angry,scared,upset or under pressure I can explode.Not many people knew about it at first,most dont know at all.My father told me about it,and now I see why...IIt has been going on for a while, but the first time I remember was when Rhaditz came,and tortured my father.I broke out of his spaceship in a flurry of anger and emotion.Again,when training with Piccolo he knew,and tested me.He threw me towards an almighty mountain,but I blasted it apart.My power can skyrocket at the slightest notice of trouble.Countless times on Namek I was spurred into battle against my wishes"
"So,your emotions you say?Anger,you say?"Cell murmured softly.
"Thats right...against Garlic Junior,I saved Krillin from certain death.Against Kasama I actually became a Super Saiyan in a bout of rage"
"You actually transformed?"
"And now here,before you I stand"Gohan finished.He looked up at Cell.
"Well well,this adds a new and more intresting dimension..."
"What?"
"Dont you see?I'm going to make you angry...angrier than you've ever been in your life...and then we'll see your true power..."
"No Cell,no!"Gohan cried,but Cell knocked him away.He created a ball of energy in his hands and shot it towards Krillin.Light filled his face and Gohan pulled himself up and dashed for it,but the ball was too close.Instead,Goku knocked it aside,silently.No remark of disgust,or telling Cell to back off.
Gohan ran to Cell and Cell grabbed him and began his squeezing routine.
"That poor boy.."Piza muttered,shaking.
"Thats true...ow,my stomach!"Satan said,as he saw everyone watching him.
"Help..me...ahh!"Gohan screamed,writhing in his arms,twsiting and turning frantically.
Kasama,who was watching the battle intently,turned on Goku."Help him!"she ordered.
Goku stayed silent,even when Krillin called,"He's your son,be reasonable!"
"Goku...thats your son down there"Piccolo said solemnly.Goku ignored him,and Piccolo exploded."Thats your son!Can you hear me?THATS YOUR SON!If you think he cares about fighting,if you even think he enjoyed a second of this senseless violence then you dont know your son"
Goku gasped and turned to Piccolo,his mouth hanging open and eyes wide.Piccolo unmercifully continued.
"He's not like you!He doesnt like the thrill of the battle or the stench of the blood,he likes family and friends...life!He's not wondering how to land a punch,he's wondering why he cant have a normal life,and why his father isnt helping him while his has the life squeezed outta him!"
"Ahh..."Goku gasped,softly,turning to Gohan.
Cell's tail sucked Gohan's head in and squeezed over his neck instead of sucking him in,so Gohan began to rapidly run out of air.Cell blasted up to Goku,Gohan flailing below him.
"Give me a senzu bean,now!"he screamed to Tien,but Cell was there.He fired the Solar Flare technique at Cell and blasted him back.
"Tien!"Chaotzu cried,dashing forward.
Cell grabbed the back and then spat Gohan out of his tail so he smashed into the ground.Cell followed and landed in front of the swirling boy.
"Hey look,now he's gotta be gone"Pirozki said to Satan.
"Oww!"Satan cried.
"Goodbye,Gohan"Cell said,creating a ball of energy in his hands.Yes,this would let Gohan release something...
But as the smoke cleared he saw no-one.He turned just in time to see 16 lunging towards him,and interlocking his arm's with his own.
"Get off me you ape!"Cell cried,thrashing.
"Now you are the one writhing and squirming"16 said,tightening his grip.
"Ga...ahhh!"Cell screamed,struggling weakly.Then he smiled,"What is the use?You cant do anything"
"16!"Gohan said,moving forward.
"Stay back Gohan!"16 ordered.Gohan lumbered back and fell,and Piccolo appeared behind him to grab him.
"Come on Gohan!"Piccolo said.The two of them ran backwards.
"I'M GOING TO SELF-DESTRUCT CELL.THE BOMB WITHIN ME WILL DESTROY EVEN YOU!EVEN PERFECTION!"
20 struggling to the edge of the cliff and yelled down,"16!Rectify and old fool's mistake!"
"I will!"he cried.
"Rectify....its my fault!"he shouted."The bomb is gone!"
"What?!"16 cried,his head turning.Cell elbowed his turned body and he fell back.
"Myself and Dr.Breifs removed it along with some of your evil circuitry;we thought if you could choose to be good,you may choose to be evil...and I realised to,that sometimes you just have to use weapons...you just have..to fight.."
"16 get up!"Piccolo snapped,but Cell got to him,having an idea as he lay on the floor.
"What a nice sentimental rant"Cell called up to 20,"Now if you would wish to look down you may see the destruction of this worthless heap of bolts.Cell's arm lit up gold and chopped sidways,sending 16's head flying to where Satan and the others were,making them duck under a boulder which it bounced off.Cell threw the body onto the ground and blasted it into melted metal scraps.
"NO!"Gohan called.He tried to break free of Piccolo's grip but couldnt.
"Piccolo let me GO!"he screamed.Piccolo was thrown back as Gohan charged but Cell grabbed his head and threw him into the ground.
"But wait for the best part"he said quietly.He pointed at the cliff where the fighters were,counting them.
"Thats...fourteen...and one for Piccolo behind you"he said.He tensed up and his tail straightened and lengthened.
"Whats that?"Piccolo whispered.
"I...I dont know.."Gohan replied.
Then out of it shot a small,blue-black version of Cell.Piccolo grabbed Gohan and jumped back.
"Meet my Cell junior"he said,and began creating more after saying,"Get Piccolo!"
The beast shot forward.Gohan lunged for it but it kicked Piccolo in the face and smashed down into him.They began grappling feircely as the other thirteen blasted up towards everyone else.
"Even one for the old storekeeper and Tao?!"Gohan shouted,running forward.
"Well,you know your father,he'll probably save them...but without a senzu bean,I doubt he has enough strength"Cell said.
"Huh?"Gohan whimpered,staring worridly at Cell."I gotta-"he started up,but Cell grabbed his arm.
"Uh-Uh-ah..."he corrected,shaking his finger.He threw Gohan onto the ground and blasted him in the face and throwing him back.He jumped onto Gohan's stomach and then kicked him up.
"Ahh!Some small blue Cell-creatures have emerged,and this...well!Gagh!Wrong!"the reporter was saying.
A blast of energy crumbled the rock in front of him and the camera Nigel was holding exploded as it smashed into the ground.
"No sound,no visual..."Nigel moaned,as 16's head hit Pirozki.He began screaming like a girl,and then passed it to Piza who threw it forward.The reporter continued anyway.
"And the Cell junior's continue to beat the innocent bystanders to a pulp!"he turned to Hercule but before he could ask his thoughts a metal head collided with his own and rolled a few feet away.
"ARGHHH!"
Tao fired continous rounds of bullets but to no avail.The junior blasted forward and punched him up effortlessly,then kicked him back down so that he rolled of the cliff and slid down,unconcious.Goku grabbed the Cell junior that attacked him and threw him off the cliff,firing a blast of blue.
But of the smoke it came and kicked Goku in the face.He appeared behind with Goku's junior and they punched together,but Yamcha and Krillin were there to meet them,and threw the Cell juniors back.
"Thanks guys"Goku said,gasping as he stood up and turned around to see Yamcha and Krillin facing up against Tao's,their own and Goku's.
"Maybe it's time to have our own copies"Yamcha said.
"Right"Krillin agreed,nodding.They bent down their heads together and created two gold sillhouettes of each one.
"Six vs four!"they cried in unison.They started attacking together but it was little better,if not worse.
"Kame-"Yamcha began,but the junior kicked him in the face and one fell back into another.
"Destruc-"Krillin started,but one of the junior's fired a continous kamehameha wave at him,sending the other two crashing into him,and he turned over and fell onto the the edge of the cliff and down,the dirt burning his arms and face.
Kasama kicked the old storekeeper's junior but her's kicked him back and he fell onto the edge of the cliff,clutching his back.He did a spinning kick but to Gohan and Kasama's horror he was hit with a blast and shot off the edge of the cliff and skid along right to Gohan's feet.
"Uh!Leave him!"Gohan cried,running forward.Cell kicked Gohan in the chest and he smashed back and was half-buried in the soil.
Cell's foot came over the man's head and was about to crush down until like his father's Kaioken Gohan was instilled with a burst of power.He shot forward with all the might he could muster and punched him.Cell flew backwards and smashed into a rock-face.He stood,wiping blood from his mouth.
"So you do have some powers!Lets awaken them ALL!"
Goku appeared by his son and grabbed the storekeeper.
"I'll keep him safe"Goku explained."Win..."
He disappeared and then reappeared atop the cliff to keep on fighting,and Gohan realised.
His friends were losing badly...Trunks and Vegeta,both Super Saiyans,were still having difficulty holding them of as there were more Cell's than people.He turned to see Piccolo facing off.He fired a blast at one which dodged,laughing wildly.
"Look,Chaotzu and Yamcha wont be holding off much longer"Cell said,pointing up.He was right.Yamcha shot across the sky,there was an explosion around Chaotzu and he fell to the ground,smoking.
"NO!"he cried.
"Your too weak to help them,you spineless fool..."Cell spat,"Or maybe you dont like mindless fighting...too bad,that means your friends can die"
"Na...Na.."Gohan gurgled.
"Your letting them down,you baby"
"Help me"16 called.
"AHHH!"they screamed again.
"Karoni-pick-that-thing-up-and-get-rid-of-it NOW!"Piza ordered.
"Why...me..."Karoni whispered,walking forward.He picked it up and closed his eyes,looking away,but it spoke again and made him drop it.
"I must speak with Hercule"
"AHHH!"
"He knows you,sir?"Pirozki asked.
"My...stomach.."
"Hercule!Please"16 continued,"...champion"
Suddenly everyone was looking at Hercule as he moved over to the head."What is it?"
"Just take me to Cell...I must go near to him,just take me near..."he said.
"Ignore him!"Piza shreiked.
"Shut up!"Satan ordered,his face was set.
"So...iaer...er...okay"He said,and he picked up the head and hugged it to his chest as he ran like lighting towards Gohan and Cell.
"Please I dont like this wah!"he cried.
"Your doing fine"16 said."Just closer...yes.."
"Here?"Satan asked.
"Here"16 said."Just put me-"he began,but Satan threw the head as hard as he could,ducked below a rock and was thrown back as it exploded.
"I threw him too far!"Satan whispered fearfully.
16 rolled along to Gohan's feet.Cell's eyes darted backwards and he watched beadily.
"Gohan...listen to me"
"Huh...16?"Gohan whispered,looking down.
"Release your emotions...what you must do is not evil...I learned something from my creator...you just have to fight.Do it Gohan...I love the Earth as much as you...please...fight..."
"I...I will"Gohan said,fearfully.
"What a speech.Goodbye"Cell said,and his foot crushed 16's head.He stamped the eletrics into nothingness.
Gohan's eyes went small.His hair pricked,and aura lit up around him.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"he screamed,throwing his arms open and his head back.
