The day of the Cell Games, Zaraf woke up with a grin as the day going to be exciting. Even Lily, Towa, Delia, Lyana, and Caulifla are going to enter. They wanted to enter as it was the small bit of entertainment for the next seven years. Also it would be tricky for them to get involved in the near future.
Giving his four wives a small kiss on the cheek, Zaraf ran into the bathroom. He was excited as there was a slight bounce in his step. The girls were too, which made him want the tournament to come faster. While nearly everyone else on the planet was dreading the day as they will either live or die.
Across the globe, the kings and presidents were placing all their hopes on one man as their armies were wiped out. Mark better known as Hercule Satan the last world championship for the last few tournaments.
“Let’s hope he can rid us of this monster.”
That was the thinking of most governments as they alongside with most of the world. So, they turned on the television and radios to watch the outcome in the next few hours.
With the rest of z-fighters, they were doing a quick warm up and stretches as they prepared. The ones who were part of Zaraf’s ‘training’ felt more confident than the few that missed it. They could feel how much stronger they become in those few days than the year they used in the time chamber.
Their feelings of regret of not keeping up with Zaraf insane training inside as they wondered how strong they would have become. However thinking about it wouldn't do any good, so the thoughts soon left. It too late to cry over spilled milk.
As the time came to leave, Bulma was having a small argument with Goku. It sounded like Gohan going to get a brother or sister. However she soon changed and wished him to come back safely.
“Well, let's get going.” Zaraf said getting pumped while Lily smiled while Towa and the other three just shook their heads.
While other worried about the upcoming battle, Zaraf treats it as an outing. As for worrying about whether they can beat the bug or not, none of them were really worried. They could sense Cell’s power and it was hovering around forty billion.
With Zaraf just reaching a billion in his base form, and a Lily with Towa, Delia and Lyana not far behind. Only Cauliflia was a bit behind them due to only joining recently. So even if Towa, Delia, and Lyana currently don’t have a transformation unlocked yet, they will be fine.
Taking off they started flying towards the arena as all the fighters decided to meet up along the way. Along the way, Gohan was deep in thought slowly speeding up.
“Gohan, slow down, everything is going to be fine.” Goku said calmly as Gohan started pulling ahead of the pack.
Blushing slightly as he was a bit embarrassed, Gohan slow down a tad falling back in line. Up ahead, Tien and Krillin appeared and soon join the group as they neared the place. Even future Trunks who came to the wrong timeline it seems joined.
It was funny to see his reaction when he met Zaraf and his harem. He tripped over himself and stumbled as he didn’t know if they were friend or foe. It seems Trunks has heard stories of Saiyans and since there were three. Well, he was confused if they were friend or foe, expressially when Zaraf launched the large ki attack.
Vegeta, well he still has trouble dealing with them as they were stronger than him. It seems that his pride as the prince of all saiyan felt conflicted with three stronger than him. The thought of Goku who mostly an idiot being stogner was bad enough. However with Zaraf and Lily being genius in their own right as they are smarter than him. Well, his ego and pride took a massive blow so he pushed himself harder in training.
Upon arriving at the arena, they noticed a cameraman and reporter. Near them was a muscular man with a large afro and mustache wearing a gold belt. They could barely find a trace of ki in the man, yet he was provoking Cell. Which in itself was impressive in itself.
Cell who was green with black dots on his body stood there with his eyes closed. It looked as if he was ignoring the man next to him.
Landing near the arena Cell who look as if he was sleeping while standing up opened his eyes. His eyes landed on Zaraf and his harem and frowned as he didn’t have data on them. Since he came from a future where they don’t exist he doesn’t have their dna or techniques. They were also quite strong even if he had trouble finding or even feeling their ki.
“Goku, you have finally made it.” Cell said before the reporter interrupted.
“This just in a small group of unknown fighters have appeared near the ring.” The man shouted into his microphone. “It is unknown at this current time how they arrived as they appeared from the sky without a plane or parachute.”
The cameraman rotate the camera towards the group while the afro man sneered at them.
“They are a bunch of fans of mine who wanted to watch first hand,” The man shouted boosting his overinflated ego.
“You better leave before Mr. Satan begins.” The reported shouted and waved his hands at them.
All the fighter, just look at them like they were an idiot, except Zaraf who suddenly glared at the man. The man he wanted to track down was in front of him and saved him the trouble.
“So, your Mr. Satan who called my wins as champion fake as well as Goku.” Zaraf said cracking his knuckles. “Insect, I borrowing your ring so get off for a moment.”
Zaraf didn’t wait as he blasted Cell and the reporter off without giving a moment to move. Walking towards Mr. Satan he didn’t remember who he was but got a feeling they met before. Only he didn’t remember nor cared.
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
“You want a piece of this?” Mr. Hercule shouted.
“Well have a taste of my famous Megaton punch.” he shouted as a plain and simple punch launched forwards with a tiny bit of Ki. Anyone with ki training would barely feel it much less a master like Zaraf.
The punch soon turned red as Mr. Hercule shouted as he just broke most of his bones in his hands on Zaraf cheek.
“Do you have a metal jaw?” He shouted gripping his hand.
“You just weak,” Zaraf replied coolly as he flicked the man shattering most bones in his body. It won’t kill him nor leave hidden injuries unless he does something while healing.
Zaraf hopped back out of the ring earning a chuckle from Lily while everyone else just shook their heads. The one who most of the world was placing their hopes on, was sent flying with a mere flick. What made the situation worse is it wasn’t Cell, but another competitor who there to fight Cell.
“Was that really necessary?” Goku asked dryly laughing.
“Yes,” was all Zaraf said feeling better after taking care of the fraud who calls himself a martial arts master.
Cell who was blown away returned to the center of the ring glaring at Zaraf. He didn’t appreciate being blown out of his own ring before the fights can begin. However he did get a small chill in his body at how easy he was blown away. So thoughts on how to absorb Zaraf surfaced.
“Now that out of the way, we may begin the tournament. So who up first?” Cell confidently said.
Goku hopped up onto stage standing across from Cell with a relaxed expression as his muscles tighten. As if giving the signal, the dist setted with both fighters vanishing from the untrained eye.
Bang!
Bang!
Sonic booms echoed as Goku and Cell traded blow for blow. The camera man attempted to capture them but due to their high speed only the sky appeared.
Neither Goku or Cell seems to be trying as they kept either blocking or taking a few blows. None of the attacks really did much damage to either. For some reason Goku and Cell are holding back as their ki just kept rising.
“Why are you holding back, father?” Gohan grumbled so only Piccolo .and Zaraf heard them do to sharp hearing or standing near him.
“Because he an idiot.” Zaraf coldly said as he rolled his eyes at Goku.
It was nice that Goku wants Gohan to take up the mantle to protect the world. However, even in the short time he met Gohan, Zaraf could see Gohan quitting. The boy has neither the drive or ambition to continue training after the threat has passed. However, that thought either didn’t cross Goku’s mind or he ignored it.
If Zaraf had to venture a guess, Gohan only trains or fights to spend time with his father. His father is a pure martial artists that only thinks of fighting and training as well as family. Bulma being a genius and spending time in the lab. So most of his bonding time with them are training or studying experiment.
The match between Goku and Cell continued as the Camera man and report attempted to show it. Mr. Satan somehow was near them still standing as a woman and two men stood around wrapping bandages around him. Why they didn’t take him away, Zaraf had no idea.
Finally Goku landed on the stage again, reappearing as Cell stood across from him. Both of them were breathing slightly harder than when they began. However it was clear neither was giving it their all.
“Now that the warm up is out of the way, why don’t we really begin.” Goku said.
“I thought you never ask.” Cell said as both of them raised their fighting poses.
Neither of them had a smile or an expression as electricity and dust storm began to pick up around their surroundings. They soon began as Goku vanished only to reappear behind Cell with a Kamehameha wave in hand.
Cell surprised by the speed quickly dodged and attempted to cave Goku’s head in with a kick. It was obvious that the real fight between them began. Ki blast were coming out as well as a few ki techniques.
“Special Beam cannon!”
Cell shouted making Zaraf, Lily, Delia, Lyana and Towa cringe while everyone else watched normally. The thought of shouting out their attacks was stupid as well as awkward. Naming them was fine but shouting when they use it in battle seemed stupid.
“Did he really just shout his attack.” Towa said.
“Shouting the attack...that like announcing your present.” Delia commented.
“Sneak attacks are not specialty among them.” Lyana added her two cents.
“I bet I know what Zaraf going to say.” Lily smiled.
“Nope, not taking a losing bet.” The three girls said in sync.
“Something about training?” Caulifla asked.
“They need training in a fight. Yelling attacks is a no go if I am watching.” Zaraf said with a slight shiver.
The girls just sighed, as they remembered the plan before going to rescue Dub. Who is currently house sitting at Capsule Corps keeping Bulma, and her parents company. Something about only being in the way with his strength or something was his excuse.
The plan to open a dojo for him and Goku seems to grow in their thoughts as it was growing. Then the image of him attempting to train the kids when their barely one came to mind. While Lily was fine with it as that around the time she and Zaraf began, the other weren’t. Not that Lily remembers starting at the age as she just copied him.
Ring~, Ring~
Zaraf phone went off showing Dub calling.
“Hello?” Zaraf answered.
“Zaraf, the Afro man is currently on something called a television. He is saying the reason he lost was because he was afraid he would hurt you.” Dub answered.
“Really? Well whatever most of his bones are broken so whatever.” Zaraf careless replied before hanging up the phone.
Putting his phone away a blue beam was shot towards the sky. The attack with enough power to blow up the earth over a thousand times and still have power. Goku who was behind the attack frowned as Cell appeared to have dodged.
The fight between the two was soon coming to an end as both Goku and Cell were panting heavily. Both fighters were floating above the ring before Cell pointed his finger towards the ring.
Boom!
He destroyed the ring ending the tournament marking the start of the real battle.
“It looks like things are heating up.” The reporter shouted as he looked at where the stage once was.
Blow for blow Goku and Cell gave it all as each punch or kick created a dust cloud from up in the sky.
“Well they sure are energetic,” Lily commented as Goku just axe kicked Cell into the ground.
“That for sure.” Zaraf replied as two small eye beams shot from Cell.
“They are doing well on dragging this out.” Towa sighed.
“Yeah,” both Delia and Caulifla agreed.
“Oh, Goku power finally stopped raising.” Zaraf commented as Goku’s reached max power while Cell’s just grew higher.
After trading a few more blows, Goku stops the fight and calls out Gohan.
