Kenshin
and Iris walk down a street. Kenshin is
carrying what appears to be an apple.
He tosses it up and down as they walk along. "So how much longer until we get to the Earth?" Iris asks.
Kenshin
seems a bit preoccubied by something.
"Three maybe four days."
Kenshin says as they walk on.
"You're
going to have to teach me that Pocket Dimension Spell." Iris says.
"There's no way we could have carried all that food back if it
we're for that spell."
"It's
not a spell." Kenshin says. "Even though Legend appears to be just
a bunch of gems on my arm, in truth the sword is in a pocket dimension. I just opened a small doorway into that
dimension."
<"And
it's really crowded. You Saiya-jin eat
may too much."> Legend says.
"Hush!" Kenshin says.
"What?" Iris asks.
"Just
talking to Legend." Kenshin
says. They continue on in silence.
"You're
still thinking about what that guy said aren't you?" Iris asks.
"Why
wouldn't I be?" Kenshin asks. "This is the third planet we've visited
in the last week, and we always here the same story." Kenshin remembers the planets and the fears
of the people. Each of the planets they
had visited once had a populations of a few million. And each of them were now down to a few thousand. Everyone they talked to only said something
about a green tailed monster. It sucked
up its victims and left only their outer garments to be buried. "So many of suffered. If we could just find this thing then I
could revive everyone." Kenshin
thinks. He is so lost in thought that
he doesn't notice a ki appear off in the distance.
"Hey!" Iris yells at Kenshin as he finally comes
out of his thoughts. "Didn't you
feel that?" She asks.
"Huh?" He quickly allows his senses to wonder and
notices the ki. "Yeah." He concentrates on it. "It seems vaguely familiar." He says.
"What's
that?" Iris asks as she senses
another ki heading towards the first ki.
Kenshin
notices it too. They both groan as they
recoqnize the ki.
"Michael." They say as
they fly off.
Michael
was very close to the area where the ki appeared. He had guessed that the creature would make its way to this
planet. He hadn't heard from the locals
about the thing appearing a few days ago but was still on the look out for
it. "Maybe if I fight this thing
I'll be able to increase my ki enough to transform into a Super
Saiya-jin." He thought as he
flew. But he didn't expect for the
creature to be so powerful. It easily
beat him. If it weren't for his mother
and father's arrival he would have been added to the list of victims. They land near the young warrior and look
towards the green creature.
"You're the thing that has been stealing these planets of their
inhabitants, aren't you!?" Kenshin
yells at it. "What in Kami's name
are you?"
The
creature grins slightly as he speaks.
"I am called Cell."
The creature says. It is indeed
Cell, but only in pre-Android absorbation form. "And yes you are correct in believing that I was the one who
'stole these planets of their inhabitants' as you put it. They are now apart of me. Their ki has made me stronger." He says as he strokes his tail.
"What
is with his ki?" Iris asks.
"I'm
not sure. There are one, two, three,
four, five, six major kis coming from him.
It's like he has pieces of people inside of him. Maybe it is because he absorbed so many
people." Kenshin says. "Three of those kis feel slightly
familiar." He thinks.
"No. The kis of the individuals that I have
absorbed are not radiated from my body.
It is because I am an organic android created from the cells of a
handful of warriors."
"An
organic android?" Michael
asks. "You mean your an artifical
creature made from natural creatures?"
"Something
like that." Cell says. He eyes the three of them. "I am impressed by the power I feel
coming from the three of you. I will
enjoy absorbing all of you into my being.
Maybe after I absorb you I'll have enough ki to achieve my true
objective."
"Your
true objective? What is
that?" Kenshin asks.
"That
is none of your business." Cell
says. "Enough of this chit
chat!" He yells as he streaks
forward. Kenshin follows suit and
begins fighting him in front of his family.
Each warrior is able to get in a few blows. They break away from one another as it becomes evident that
neither of them has the upperhand yet.
"Not bad." Cell
thinks.
"He's
pretty good." Kenshin thinks. "His techniques are a little better
than mine, but I have the advantage in speed and power. I need something to break this little
stalemate."
Cell
was probably thinking the same thing since he immediately dug into his bag of
tricks and pulled out an attack. He
brought his hands to his side, much like Kenshin's Fire Storm Attack, and began
gathering ki. "Kamehameha!"
He attacked. Kenshin quickly
calculated his best option.
<"Legend,
gauntlet, left arm, highest armor possible!"> He knew that if he avoided the attack it would hit Michael and
Iris, who were behind him, and probably destroy the planet. He didn't have enough time to draw forth the
ki/magic needed to use the Fire Storm Attack.
He also knew that he couldn't defect the attack with just a simple
hit. Kenshin gathered as much ki/magic
into the gauntlet as he could then launched himself at the attack. He struck it and was thankfully able to
knocked it into space. <"Gauntlet
blade mode!"> Kenshin yelled
out in his mind. Immediately a blade
shot up out of the gauntlet. Kenshin
continue on right at the unsuspecting Cell and cut off an arm. "Well now Cell, I guess the duel is
mine." Kenshin says. Legend returns to its gems form.
Cell
only laughs. He quickly regenerates the
arm. "I doubt that."
"How?" Kenshin asks angerly.
"Remember
those six major kis you felt earlier?"
Kenshin nods. "One of them
was a Namek."
"A
Namek! That means you can regenerate
almost any limb." Kenshin
says. Another of the benefits of the
improved scouter was details on some of the many races in the galaxy and solar
systems around Planet Vegita. "Who
are the others?"
"Like
I have to tell you. But I'll tell you a
little something about two of them.
They ruled a vast empire around here." Cell says.
Kenshin
immediately says the names of the only rulers he knows. "Frieza and Cold?" He asks.
Cell is
a bit surprised, but he recovers.
"You got it right with only one try."
"What
can I say?" Kenshin jokes. "They're the only emperors I
know." He says as he
disappears. Cell quickly follows suit.
On the
ground Iris and Michael follow the fight as Cell and Kenshin battle one
another. Finally Kenshin's speed and
power give him the upperhand, and he pounds Cell into the ground. Kenshin lands. He is slightly winded but nothing else is wrong with him. Cell also gets up. He is short of breath like Kenshin and has some blood coming from
his lip. "Very
impressive." Cell says. "I will enjoy absorbing you."
Kenshin
laughs. "How are you going to do
that?" He inquires. "You're slower than me, so the only
hope you have of absorbing me is if I make a mistake."
Cell
just shakes his head. "How
foolish. Do you really believe that his
is my full power?" He asks.
"No. I know better than that. I know you're hiding some tricks. Only a fool would show his full power at the
beginning of a fight." Kenshin
says.
"And
I know you are hiding some of your power as well. But it doesn't matter.
The amount of ki you are hiding doesn't even compare to mine." Cell says.
"Really?" Kenshin asks with a smile on his face. His Saiya-jin heitage is really beginning to
show. He is totally enjoying this
fight.
"Really." Cell answers. His Saiya-jin cells are showing as he is also enjoying this
fight.
"You
show me yours, and I'll show you mine."
Kenshin says.
"Very
well." Cell says as he prepares to
power up. He slowly increases his ki as
the ground around him is wrenched up.
Kenshin
was trained to expect the unexpected.
In every one of his fights if he was surprised or shocked only the best
trained eye could have caught it, and even then only for a second. But this time was the exception. As Cell's ki increased Kenshin made a mental
note that it felt kind of like him transforming into a Super Saiya-jin. "Don't be stupid." He told himself. "This thing isn't a Saiyan." But Kenshin was in complete and utter shock as the golden aura
flared up and blinded him for a second.
"What the hell?"
"A
Super Saiya-jin?" Were the only
words Michael could mouth as he saw the aura flare up.
"Well,
impressed?" Cell asked as he
finished powering up.
"The
power coming from you is the power of a Super Saiya-jin!" Kenshin yells, finally overcoming his
shock. "How is that
possible?" He asks.
"Ah
so you know about the Super Saiya-jin?"
Cell asks. Kenshin nodded. "Well, besides the cells of the Namek,
Frieza, and King Cold, I also have the cells of three Saiya-jin within
me."
"From
Earth?" Kenshin asks.
"Again
you surprise me." Cell says. "Yes it was on the Earth where these
cells were gathered, and where I was created.
I have the cells of Son Goku, Vegita, and Nappa in me."
"Nappa,
the guy who commanded the army. And
Prince Vegita? They're still
alive?" Kenshin asks.
"Vegita
is still very much alive. I could sense
his ki if I tried hard enough. Nappa,
however died more than two decades ago."
Cell says. He now begin to
wonder who this young man is.
"What
about Radditz? And who is this Son
Goku? There were no records of a
Saiya-jin named Son Goku surviving the destruction of Planet Vegita. Son Goku isn't even a Saiya-jin
name." Kenshin continued his
questions.
"Radditz
died about a year before Nappa. Son
Goku was orginally named Kakkarot. How
do you know so much?" Cell asks. "Who are you?"
Kenshin
cracks a smile. He now knows
enough. "Who am I?" Kenshin repeats. "I am Kenshin the warrior, sorcerer of Camelot. And if the first level of the Super
Saiya-jin is the best you can do, you have lost!"
Cell
takes a step back and is a bit shocked.
"He knows that they're is a level beyond this?" He thinks.
Cell's mind wonders back 20 years ago to the Cell Games. Cell faced Son Gohan. Both of them experienced the second stage of
the Super Saiya-jin. But it was Gohan
that would be victorious. This Cell
wasn't even the one that fought Gohan.
After Cell had been nearly destroyed by Goku's sacrifice. But after his regeneration Cell also found
doubts creeping into him. So instead of
going right back to the Earth he had gone to a barren planet. There he had planted a seed that would one
day evolve into this Cell. It had taken
a very long time. And this Cell
couldn't transform into stage two or teleport, but he was still powerful. Cell recovers from his surprise. "Is that so?" He laughs.
"You have lost."
"Have
I? You showed my yours now I'll show
you mine." Kenshin says as he
begins to power up. He explodes into
his Super Saiya-jin form much easier than Cell.
"What
the Hell?" Cell yells out.
"And
I'll do you one better." Kenshin
says as his ki continues to go up. His
muscles expand as he breaks into Super Saiya-jin Level 2. This is the first time anyone has seen
Kenshin do this. The only time he had
gone this far was during his training a few times. He turns to Michael and Iris.
"Go ahead and head back to the ship. This won't take too long."
They nod in shock and fly off.
Kenshin turns back to Cell with a smile on his face. Cell is shocked and afraid.
A few
minutes later Kenshin is floating over the star of the solar system with an
unconscious bleeding Cell. "This
is the easiest and best way to make sure you die. Since you can regenerate yourself so easily I'll just let his sun
burn up all your cells." He
thinks. Kenshin tosses Kenshin to the
star. As an extra bonus Kenshin sends a
small ki attack with Cell. It hits Cell
and sends him flying towards the sun even faster. The shock also wakes Cell up.
He powers up and tries to fly away.
But the star's gravity is too great, and he's drawn into the sun and
burnt up.
Kenshin
watches Cell burn up then teleports back to the ship. "Ready to go?"
Iris asks as the still Super Saiya-jin Kenshin.
"Yeah. Lets get going going. I'd like to make it to the Earth before the
beginning of next week." Kenshin
says.
"You
didn't use the Restoration Spell?"
Daniel asks.
"No. I couldn't risk that some Cell might
survive." Kenshin says.
"But
you did use Legend to find out about the Earth and the surviving Saiya-jin,
right?" Iris asks.
"Of
course. Come on." Kenshin says as he shoos them into the
ship. "I'll tell you all about it
inside." They enter the ship and
fly off into space.
