He swore that he would reach Super Saiyan 2, too!
Just then, Cell finished powering up on the other side of the battlefield. Cell swaggered confidently toward the two of them, speaking in a calm, detached voice: "Son Gohan, didn't your father ever teach you that it's extrely rude to walk away while soone else is powering up?"
But just as Cell finished speaking, a sharp glint flashed through his eyes. He imdiately spotted Bojack, lying in a pool of blood.
'What?! While I was powering up for just a few dozen seconds… he killed that guy like it was nothing?!'
The self-assurance in Cell's eyes was gone. Son Gohan looked at him coldly and said: "Are you done? Then… I'll begin now."
Cell was still reeling from shock when a rock-solid fist slamd into his gut. He had no ti to react. Doubling over in pain, Cell stumbled backward.
A wave of agony, like a scythe, swept across his body. In that mont, Cell's proud, invincible physique felt incredibly fragile.
Suddenly, he vomited a mouthful of blood. But that was just the beginning. A barrage of punches, like a violent storm, ca crashing down on Cell from all directions.
Just as he began to recover his senses, he found himself once again completely on the defensive.
Realizing he couldn't fight back, Cell desperately curled up and shielded himself.
'Damn it! How did this guy get so strong?!'
He clenched his back molars so tightly it felt like they'd crack. But aside from cursing his luck, there was nothing he could do.
BANG--!
A devastating kick exploded from Son Gohan's leg like a battering ram. Cell's heavy body was sent flying over a kiloter.
But it was that distance that finally gave Cell a mont to breathe.
Gathering himself, he launched two energy discs from his palms. With a sweep of his arms, the discs flew through the air in erratic, unpredictable patterns before converging on Son Gohan.
The spinning energy discs rapidly approached, reflected in Son Gohan's calm eyes.
But before they could do any damage, he casually raised his hand and, with a burst of power, shattered them effortlessly. After being overwheld again and again, Cell was reaching the edge of his patience.
His eyes bulged in rage, veins bulging from his temples.
The one-sided situation from before had completely reversed.
Against Son Gohan's overwhelming power, Cell's tricks felt like nothing more than parlor gas.
Watching Cell get pumled, Vegeta felt sheer satisfaction.
Unwilling to admit defeat, Cell took to the skies once more, and in an instant, split into four identical copies. Three of them dove at Son Gohan with a flurry of punches and kicks, but Gohan remained motionless, unmoved.
His eyes were fixed firmly on the sky. He had already seen through Cell's plan.
As expected, a yellow, spiral-shaped beam descended from above. This technique was all too familiar to Gohan, the Special Beam Cannon.
Cell had used Piccolo's technique against him. And in doing so, he had struck a nerve, Gohan's reverse scale.
Gohan's brow suddenly furrowed, and he looked up to face the attack head-on.
He dropped into a half-crouch, rooted himself firmly, shifted his weight forward, and drew both hands to his waist.
Blue energy particles began to rapidly gather around his hands.
Gohan drew out the syllables and shouted: "Ka… … Ha… … HAAA!!"
A colossal pillar of blue energy surged skyward. In just one second, what began as a thin stream swelled to a hundred ters wide. Cell's Special Beam Cannon looked minuscule by comparison, like a firefly facing a blazing sun.
The outco was inevitable.
The Kahaha wave engulfed the Special Beam Cannon completely. Montarily blinded by rage, Cell was suddenly yanked back to reality.
Sensing the oncoming heatwave, he imdiately ceased his attack. The expressions on his face contorted, if he didn't act fast, he'd be obliterated.
"Damn it!!!!" Cell howled in desperation.
In the very next second, he brought his palms together, gathering the sa kind of blue energy wave, preparing to go head-to-head in a final clash.
The words "Ka Ha Ha" burst out of Son Gohan's mouth.
Two seemingly equal energy waves collided in the sky, but it lasted only a single second. In his Super Saiyan 2 form, Son Gohan's Kahaha wave quickly overpowered and absorbed Cell's own.
BOOM BOOM BOOM---!
Brilliant fireworks exploded across the sky as the heavens were engulfed in a sea of light. After a final agonized groan, Cell vanished into that light.
Monts later, Son Gohan turned to look at Vegeta.
Vegeta gave him a small nod and the two exchanged a smile. But just then, sothing strange happened in the sky.
Cell's voice returned, now laced with manic laughter:
"Hahaha!! Nakian cells are just too damn useful!!"
And then, sothing truly shocking happened: Cell had resurrected himself. Again.
Vegeta stared wide-eyed at the scene. This ti, Cell's body was cloaked in crackling lightning. His jaw dropped in disbelief: "Cell's aura… it's already stronger than Gohan's."
At the sa mont, Son Gohan's eyes trembled, he stared at Cell in disbelief.
"No… I felt his aura disappear... How is he still alive?!"
Cell floated in the air, looking down with smug superiority, and began to monologue with theatrical arrogance: "I never expected my body to be this perfect! The combination of Saiyan and Nakian cells has made even more powerful!"
Then, Cell turned his gaze toward Vegeta.
"Heh… Son Gohan, I'll make sure you die full of regret. Everyone you want to protect… I'll torture them to death, one by one."
With that, Cell flashed beside Vegeta and suddenly clamped his hand around Vegeta's throat. A surge of suffocating pressure flooded Vegeta's body. He glared at Cell like a demon, but he was utterly powerless to resist.
"NO!! Let him go!!" Son Gohan shouted while flying at Cell at full speed.
He launched into a fierce flurry of punches and kicks, but Cell refused to release Vegeta.
BOOM--!
Cell punched Vegeta, sending him flying across the battlefield.
Vegeta felt like his nerves were being chewed by ants. His limbs went limp as he collapsed, unable to move.
Then things got worse.
From the rubble, Bojack, who hadn't fully died, started walking toward the downed Vegeta. Like a vicious beast, he approached, while Vegeta couldn't even get back on his feet.
Vegeta cursed bitterly: "You bastard…!"
Bojack grinned wickedly. He had taken Vegeta's earlier insults personally and now ca seeking revenge. He pulled back his arm, crouched down, and punched Vegeta square in the face.
SPLURT---!
Blood and spit sprayed from Vegeta's mouth.
"I'll kill you!!!" Son Gohan scread, his eyes now glowing blood-red. He instantly teleported next to Bojack, an energy blast already gathered in his palm.
But just as Gohan was about to finish Bojack off, Cell appeared right behind him, grabbing Gohan's arm tightly.
Bojack's worthless life was spared, and Cell gave him a thumbs-up.
"Nice job, useless trash."
Despite the "praise," Bojack felt incredibly humiliated, but he knew better than to object. If he wanted to survive, he had to swallow his pride. He was fully aware of the reality: Whether Cell won, or the Saiyans did, his fate would almost certainly end in death.
But Cell was still a villain like him, and since Bojack had never raised a hand against him, now that Cell had regained control of the fight, maybe so flattery could save his life.
Bojack lowered his head submissively: "Thank you for the praise, Lord Cell…"
Seeing Vegeta so brutally abused, Son Gohan could no longer hold back.
He unleashed all of his fury on Cell. The battle between the two erupted once again, but this ti, the dominance Son Gohan had earlier was gone.
"Alright, that's enough, Son Gohan. Continuing this fight is aningless." Cell placed both hands at his waist, the sha from his earlier energy clash failure still fresh in his mind.
This ti, he was determined to reclaim his dignity.
