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.
