Part 4, Chapter 5: Limit Breaking Death Match!

We're here to deliver love! You better accept it this time!

Wha-What are you doing here?! You were with Zahha!

Don't tell me you defeated him?!

Teehee! Well...

We dumped him!

...Huh?!

Something about his love was all fake! The flames of passion weren't there.

To put it bluntly, I just don't think he could keep up with my love!

...

...

He did try to stop us leaving, though. He was all, "Don't go!" and "Fight me!" ...But oh well!

Love can be fickle!

Don't give me that! What do you think a fight even is?!

I mean how can there actually be love in a fight?

Oh, you poor thing! You don't know the importance of love!

Very well! I shall help you evoke the wonderful feeling of love!

Rrgh... I don't have time to deal with you! Outta my way!

Ooh ho ho ho!

How are you this strong?! You look like you're just clowning around!

Did I surprise you? THAT's the power of love!

The power of love...! Maybe this is the real deal!

No, it's not! Don't get caught up in their antics, Shallot!

Zahha! You're alright!

Alright? They completely ignored me. I feel like I've been stood up... It was disgraceful!

More importantly! Did you hear the transmission? Cabba and #16 are in trouble!

Let's get this done quickly, Shallot. We've gotta get over there as soon as possible! They need us!

That desperation to help your companions... Now that's more like the love I know!

However! Our love will not lose!

...It's like she's on a totally different track!

...

Ribrianne, it might be worth it to hear these guys out...

Come on, Ribrianne. It feels like we've gotten nowhere since coming to this era.

Hey! Quit stalling over there! We fighting or not?! I'll send you flying!

I feel it! I feel it now! There IS love in your hearts!

However! I have to make you realize that our love is even more amazing!

Rngh!

I can't believe you guys! If you want to lecture on love, at least think about our situation! Our friends need our help!

It's a test of your love! If you really want to save them, you have to beat us!

Oh come on!

GIVE IT UP ALREADY!

...?!

Your love or whatever ain't got nothing to do with us! We've got our own stuff going on!

...!

Unbelievable! How dare you reject my love!

Well said...!

Teehee! I knew you would agree, Kakunsa. Our love is...

...Little boy!

...What?

Huh? Me?

Ribrianne, something is wrong with you!

Your love is strong, but they have their own kind of love!

Don't you understand?

Love isn't something you can COMPARE!

!!!

Love isn't...something you can compare...?

Er...I really don't remember saying any stuff about love, but...

Quiet! You'll just complicate things further...

You weren't like this back in our era!

Please snap out of it, Ribrianne! Remember the true meaning of love!

...

Look, I'm super confused right now, but your friends are worried about you! You gotta say something!

Ribrianne?

Did she...?!

She fainted!

You're kidding me.

Lucky you! We're retreating for now!

Yes! We may have lost for now, but we won't let you off so easy next time!

...But thank you for helping Ribrianne to cool off. Toodles!

Wh-What in the world are they...

They've retreated for now, and that's all that matters but... I'm exhausted.

What? Tired after a little fight like that?

No, it wasn't the fight...

Anyway, now that's over with, we need to get to Cabba and #16.

Wait! What's that?!

Rngh!

They're so strong! No wonder they're fighting in the Super Cell Games...

It's Tien and the others!

Tch...we can't just leave them!

You're right. I'll do what I can!

Shallot, hold still for a second.

Woah! My wounds are gone!

That should do it! You head to Cabba and the others first!

G-Got it! I'll leave these guys to you!

Alright! Cabba, hang in there!

Hold it!

Heh heh heh. Finally, you're all alone!

We've been waiting for this! It's time we avenge Lord Frieza!

Tch! You guys again?! Outta my way!!

Yeeeek!

Hmph! Quit wasting my time! For your own good, you know?

Cabba's Ki is over there! He's fighting that big oaf...

Wait, it's not just those two... What's this other Ki?!

#16 doesn't have Ki, so it's not him...

...?! Could it be those kids?!

Take that!

Naaarh...?!

Heh heh heh. What's wrong? Aren't you going to strike back?

D-Darn it!

Cabba! We must pull back! Otherwise...

I can't! If I leave things like this...

Hah hah hah! That's right, brat!

Ungh! I-I'm sorry!

Let go of Goten! That's pretty low of you, takin' a kid hostage!

Don't worry! I'll save your friend!

We won't lose! Not to a coward like him!

You're all bark and no bite! How exactly do you expect to defeat me?

Show me!

Gah!

Like...

THIS!

(What?! This brat's grabbing my arms!)

Master, now!

What?!

Uwaaagh!

Guagh!

Whew! That settles that! Nice going, Cabba!

Heh heh. Good thing I was able to sense your Ki coming this way!

#16... Did he really lose to that guy?

H-He got hurt taking a hit for me!

Don't worry, #16 is strong. He'll be fine. Grab your friend and get as far away from here as you can!

G-Got it! Oh, and um...thanks!

Also...I'm sorry I laughed at you before because you couldn't go Super Saiyan...

Don't worry about it. Now, get yourselves somewhere safe!

Thank you, everyone!

Hmph. Now you've done it!

Don't get cocky just because you hit me with some dirty trick.

Says the guy who used a kid as a human shield! We're gonna take you down!

It's about time I pay you back for what you did to #16 and Cabba!

How amusing! Go ahead and try!

Heh heh heh! What's the matter? I thought you were going to "pay me back" for hurting your pathetic friends!

Ggh... He really is strong...!

This might be a fair fight if that broken-down machine was still working. But with just you, well...heh heh.

Ggh... zzt- You...!

If you were this strong to begin with, why take a hostage?!

Well, I could easily destroy you without taking a hostage...

But that would be boring.

B-Boring?!

What's better than flaunting your opponent's weakness AND crushing them at the same time?!

You... How dare you!!

...!

(Whoa! Cabba's Ki is skyrocketing! Could this be...?!)

Forget the Super Cell Games. You're someone I absolutely can't forgive. You're a villain through and through!

I'll defeat you right here and now!

(Heh heh, Cell wasn't kidding. These guys do get stronger when they're angry!)

It looks like you can still play!

This certainly looks fun, Boujack. I think I'll join you.

...?!

What?!

That's impossible! You're supposed to be fighting Gohan!

Cell!

Gah?!

...

*pant* *pant*

Heh heh...

(Something's wrong! I know I'm stronger than the last time I fought him but...)

(Cell's supposed to be stronger than this! What's going on?!)

I have to hand it to you, Gohan. You're quite impressive.

However, this is not my full power.

What?!

Take a look around you.

Around me?

...!! What is going on?!

It's Cell! Cell's here!

Wh-What?! Look, he's with the others too!

There are more Cells?! I didn't know he was capable of sorcery, heh heh...

Impossible!

The Multi-Form technique! That's my move!

Except he made even more bodies than I can! Grrgh!

Heh heh heh. Splitting into so many bodies was bound to split my power slightly too, but oh well.

Why would you do this?!

Isn't it obvious? We're in the "Super Cell Games"... It's a game for me to enjoy!

You look like you're having fun, Boujack.

Bold of you to split up like that just to come here and steal my prey!

Don't be so cold, we're on the same team, aren't we?

Don't say things you don't mean.

Heh heh. You saw right through me.

It's fine to enjoy your fight, but...

I'm a bit greedier than you, you see. I want to enjoy the power of all the participants in these games.

Fine. I'll indulge your whim. However, if you get in my way, I will destroy you just the same as them!

This is the worst! I can't believe Cell was hiding this technique!

Ggh...! Things could get out of hand with the two of them here... Shallot! Cabba! You must retreat!

...

There's no way you two can take them both on at your current strength! You have to run!

Heh.

Ha hah hah hah!

...?!

M-Master?!

What are you laughing about? Finally lost it?

Cell, I kept telling myself that Gohan was going to be the one to defeat you.

But now...!

Now, I get to fight you too! This is perfect!

Master?!

Cabba! Let's take down Cell! It's time he pays for what he did to #17 and #18!

!!

Yeah... Yeah, you're right!

I've been depending on Gohan so much recently that I forgot...!

We have our reasons for wanting to defeat Cell, too!

(Shallot's and Cabba's power just shot up!)

That's the spirit! Heh heh heh!

What are you so happy about?!

You're all so eager, it's disgusting!

Bring it on, both of you! We'll send you flying!

Daaaaghhh!

Hraaaaaah!

...Ngh...!

Ha ha ha ha! You Saiyans never cease to amaze me!

(This is Saiyan power?! They're going far beyond my calculations!)

More...! You should have more power than that! Show me!

Quit acting so high and mighty...!

TYAAAA!

Heh heh heh.

Wild...

...CANNON!!

Wh-What?!

Gaaaaagh?!

That's Master's attack!

I told you, didn't I? I was created from the cells of all the warriors in this era.

Of course, that includes your cells too. As you've just seen, I can use that to my advantage.

He was able to overpower Master with his own attack...!?

Darn that Cell...! Enough with the monkey see, monkey do!

Why don't you try fighting for real, huh?!

Hah hah. Don't get your tail in a knot. There's still plenty of time for us to play...!

No. I've had enough of this nonsense!

Tch. Our attack barely even fazed him...

Cell! I'm not interested in your little pastime. If you want to play with your prey, leave me out of it!

This Ki... Are you telling me he wasn't fighting at full power this whole time?!

It's time to end this!

*sigh* So impatient. We are about to get to harvest time, you know.

Harvest time?

But, you do have a point. Something's still missing...

How about we add fuel to the fire!

What are you planning?!

Unh!

A combined attack of Boujack and I...

Withstand it, and you pass. Fail and well, you'll prove you're nothing but some worthless nobody after all.

Now, try to survive THIS!!

Don't waste your breath. These runts are as good as dead!

Consider this punishment for disgracing me with your weakness! Witness the difference in our powers!

Perish!!

Haaaaa!!

Perish!!

Haaaaa!!

Ngh?!

Heh. Nothing but trash after all...

What...?!

U-Urrgh...

...#16?!

You shielded us...!

Oh, that's right. The worthless piece of junk was here too. You're sturdy. I'll give you that much.

What are you doing?!

I cannot allow either of you to die here!

Gohan isn't the only one essential to Cell's defeat. We need...you too...

#16!

Hmph. You make me sick!

Having such high hopes for these brats...

And how dare you speak as though I'M not the one they need to worry about defeating!

You aren't. Defeating you is not their directive.

It's mine!!

#16?!

Haaaaah!

I'll tear you apart, you piece of junk!

#16, stop! You can't win in your condition!

I'm fine! You can win if you only have Cell to worry about!

With the powers you've displayed, there's no way you'll lose to Cell!

Oh? Is that what your calculations tell you? I'm interested in what makes you think that...

I don't need calculations to know that they will win!

I believe in them!

#16!

Shallot, Cabba! ...Good luck.

Hmph. All this struggle for nothing. Your pathetic punches scream dead man walking.

Ngh?! Wha?! Let go of me!

This is far enough. I won't affect Shallot and the others at this distance.

The one who repaired me in this era did not realize that I had a certain device installed.

...?!

Coming to this era was truly wonderful. I met so many great people.

I'll do now what I couldn't in my timeline. I will open a path of survival for my friends with this, my last resort!

What are you talking about?!

I wasn't able to use this in my original timeline. This is a final weapon I should not resort to...

I'm going to self-destruct!

Wh-What?! S-Stop!

Daaaaghhh!

(I only wish I could have avenged #17 and #18.)

(But, I need not worry.)

(Shallot, everyone... I'm counting on you!)

Ah... Ahh...!

#16... Why did you...

So he self-destructed. Heh heh. I guess this time he came with his bomb actually equipped.

N-No way...

Magnificent fireworks! I must say, however...

It's truly a shame that they were made from such damaged goods! Hah hah hah!

#16 you idiot!

How right you are! He couldn't see the truth even when it smacked him in the face!

...!

He "believed" in you? Don't make me laugh! You'd expect a machine to make better calculations than that before blowing itself up!

...

First #17, then #18, and now #16...

These androids all had a major flaw, and that was getting caught up in pointless emotions!

Say what?!

That was why #17 and #18 pitifully clung to their lives despite being nothing more than fuel for me.

And #16 sacrificed himself on a worthless thread of "hope"!

...!

They were nothing more than tools for me to be born as the ultimate warrior!

Tools?!

Yes, tools. Tools don't need feelings, do they?

They weren't created just to be used by you!

Hah hah hah! Why so worked up over mere tools?

Oh, that's right. You traveled with them for a bit, didn't you?

How was it playing friends with those defective imbeciles?!

Why you!

How dare you...!!

YOU'RE GONNA PAY!!

...

Interesting.

Just who do you think you are?!

#17, #18, and #16... NONE of them were created to fuel you!

Finally! I've been waiting for this.

It looks like #16 was the trigger this time too. I'm a little let down.

I wanted to draw out that power on my own!

No more talking!

I'm sick and tired of hearing your nonsense!

Fine by me. We'll talk with our fists from now on.

You won't get away with this!

Cell! You're going DOWN!

Graaaaagh!

Hraaaaah!

Gah!

Heh heh! So this is as far as my split power will take me!

Good! This is the power I wanted to see! Now the Super Cell Games are going to get even more entertaining!

You're disgusting!

We won't let you have your way!

You have some nerve to make fun of #16 and the others!

They were walking a path they made themselves!

They were living their lives to the fullest!

Ahhhrgh!

...Tch!

*pant* *pant*

Master...did we just...?

We did it! I reached Super Saiyan 2 and you turned Super Saiyan!

This was what #16 meant by our potential...

He sacrificed so much to show us...!

We can get down about it later, Cabba! #16 said he believed in us!

Y-Yes, sir!

Just you wait, #16! You've passed the torch on to us...

Now we'll take down Cell and get revenge for #17 and #18!
