Part 4, Chapter 7: The Last Stand!

Right then! With that pest out of the way, shall we get started?

Here at the Super Cell Games, we've saved the best battle for last. One final duel to determine...

Who is truly the strongest!!

I'm done listening to you flap your gums!

Haaaaah!

Bardock?!

Why don't YOU stop talking and prepare yourself, Shallot!

Cooler may have been injured, but Cell still took him out like he was nothing! Get hit by his full power and you'll regret it!

...!

There's no time to drag your feet! We need to finish this up fast!

Right!

Heh heh, that's the spirit!

Everyone, follow their lead! We'll do this together!

Okay!

Let's go!

Gaaaaah?!

Hmph. I had my hopes up after our fight earlier, but this is disappointing.

Say what again?!

Bardock! Are you okay?!

Tch, sorry about this!

Hraaagh!

Gaah?!

?!

What the heck was that for, Shallot?!

Zahha, heal Bardock! He's too worn out!

Pff... You say that like it's so easy!

Here we go again, Cell!

Fine by me. I have no interest in weaklings who can't even transform.

Now, show me! I want to see your full power... The power of Super Saiyans!

Now, show me! I want to see your full power... The power of Super Saiyans!

I can't believe those brats are worried about ME!

Don't beat yourself up about it. They're a special breed of Saiyan.

Tch! I hate to admit it, but I have to agree with you. Whatever! Hurry up and heal me!

...I'm afraid I can't.

You can't?

Correct. We've had so many unexpected situations throughout this tournament...

I'm afraid I've used up most of my magic. Even if I squeezed out the last of my power...

...I could heal just one more time.

So you're saying you ain't gonna go and waste it on me, huh?

I understand that you're angry, but...

Hmph, what a softy. Whatever, I don't need anyone takin' care of me, anyway.

This is a surprise... I was expecting more opposition.

It's just good strategy, isn't it? We might need that last heal to beat this guy, no complaints here.

Anyway, the main reason you're all so exhausted is that you kept throwing yourself into pointless scraps, right?

I'm not the only one who's tired. Look at those brats.

...

(Shallot's in no condition to be calling anyone else "too worn out".)

(He's probably the most worn out of all of us!)

Nrrrrngh!

Gah!

Gohan!

You!

Cabba! Let's attack together!

Okay!

Take this!

Guwaaah!

*pant* *pant* How'd ya like that?!

Ngh!

What an amazing display of power! To think you've grown this much... You should be grateful to me!

Grhh, you arrogant!

But maybe we're taking things a little too quickly. What do you think?

Shut it!

This is the grand finale after all. Why don't we enjoy ourselves more!

Give me a break! We're not fighting for your entertainment, Cell!

Daaaaaah!

Naaarh!!

(We're gaining some ground!)

(Thanks to Shallot and Cabba, we've got a chance against Cell...)

Impressive... However, the real fight begins now!

(...And Cell's not holding back either. There's no doubt about it. He's pulling out all the stops this time.)

*pant* *pant*

Heh heh heh! This is it! This is power worthy of praise!

You ain't seen nothing yet!

(Then why...? Why do I have a bad feeling about this...?)

Heh heh heh...

Grngh...?!

(Something doesn't seem right, but there shouldn't be a problem if we finish this up quickly...)

(Let's lay into him!)

Guys! Let's finish this with our next attack! Give it everything you've got!

Roger!

You got it!

It's time to...

FINISH THIS!

Tch...

*pant* *pant* He... He dodged it?!

There's no way! How could he have had time to...!

I-Instant Transmission!

*pant* *pant* You almost had me there!

But it looks like your time's almost up... Now it's my turn!

...?! What are you talking about?!

Haven't you noticed? Take a look at Shallot.

Grrngh...

What the...?!

Master!

This is why Shallot was trying to hurry our battle along.

He knew he couldn't fight at full power much longer, his instincts told him he'd already pushed himself to the limit.

It was only a matter of time before he ran out of stamina!

Shallot's out of stamina?! Th-This is bad!

Tch!

*pant* *pant*

Heh heh... You look rough, Shallot. Did that last attack carry the rest of your energy along with it?

Cabba, protect Shallot!

G-Got it!

Hiyaaaah!

Naaarh...?!

Shallot, are you okay?!

Zahha, you still have one more heal in you, right?! Use it on Shallot!

Oww...Bardock?! What the heck are you doing?!

Shut it! I won't hear any complaints from you!

Bardock, why?!

I should be the one asking why! "Protect Shallot?!" What are you guys, stupid?!

That monster isn't the kind of opponent you can fight while protecting someone! Stop being so naive!

We're switching! Until that idiot's healed up, I'll lend you a hand!

B-But, you're also...

Forget about that! I'm in far better shape to fight than Shallot is now!

Spoken like a true warrior! One who isn't caught up in his emotions like these soft-hearted fools are.

Regrettably, your power is a little lacking. Do you really think YOU can replace Shallot? Heh heh...

What'd you say?!

That's not all. While Gohan still seems to have some power in reserve...

...It seems your little friend Cabba is near his limit after fighting Boujack. He's almost as bad as Shallot.

Grrh...!

What, then? Heal Shallot while someone else exerts themselves into exhaustion? Your defeat is only a matter of time.

Of course, this assumes that I'd allow such a farce to continue.

Perhaps the old me would have let you heal using a Senzu Bean or Zahha's power...

But now, I know of something MUCH more entertaining!

What?!

Zahha, what are you waiting for?! Heal Shallot!

Heh heh...

Solar Flare!!

What the?

Cell! Just what are you planning?!

Cell, you coward!

Ugh... Cell?!

If your friends die, you get stronger. Isn't that how you Saiyans work?

Wh-What?!

Whenever you have the chance to heal, you lose your resolve.

Zahha, you're no longer needed in this fight.

Urk!

Stop!! CEELL!!!

Hmph!

You'll need a lot more anger than that to stop me!

Gaaaaah!

Sh-Shallot!

All wrung out with hardly any power left. I'm done with you, Shallot.

Guess all I can hope for is that taking care of Zahha will anger Gohan enough to boost his power level.

Cell... Stop...!

Shallot, you stay where you are. I'm not interested in broken fighters.

Well then...

DIE, ZAHHA!

DIE, ZAHHA!

Dammit!

Nngraaaah!

Grrngh...

Hmph. Aren't you clever, firing off a Ki wave to avoid a direct hit.

Unfortunately, your power doesn't quite match up to your thinking. Heh heh...

Zah...ha! Dammit!

Tch! Now you've done it!

Cell! How dare you do that to Zahha!

Unforgivable...

...!

Haaaaah!

!!

Gohan?!

Oh?

I won't let you hurt anyone else!

We WILL defeat you!

Heh heh. That's the spirit! Now we can keep playing!

...Playing?!

...!

Shallot?!

Oooh?

How dare you do that to Zahha!

And what about it? You're finished. Hurry up and die.

NO! LISTEN UP! Stop acting all high and mighty!

What an amazing display of power! To think you've grown this much... You should be grateful to me!

If your friends die, you get stronger. Isn't that how you Saiyans work?

Shallot, you stay where you are. I'm not interested in broken fighters.

You keep talking about us like we're your stupid toys or something!

(Is this Ki coming from Shallot?!)

Understand this, Cell! I ain't...

We ain't here to amuse you!

That's NOT why we've gotten stronger!

Hngh?!

Got that, Cell?! Don't you...!

Don't you dare...!

Underestimate us!!

Haaaaah!

Haaaaa!

Gah?!

They still have this much power left?! Impossible!

Where do you think you're looking, Cell?!

What?! Bardock!! ...And Cabba?!

Haaaaa!

Argh!

Rrh! Ngh?!

*pant*

*pant* *pant*

Ggh... Saiyan scum!

(Their power... It's like they're feeding off of each other!)

(Am I losing?! Am I losing to THEM?!)

There's no way! My power is supreme! I AM CELL!

THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!

Cell still has this much power?!

Tch, just lose already, you monster!

I was born from the cells of the strongest fighters of this era! I'm the ULTIMATE warrior!

There's no way that I...

...CAN LOSE!

His power...?!

Shallot!

We'll start with you.

Begone, Shallot!

I won't let you!

Gaaaagh!!

G-Gohan!

Protecting your friends? How typical of you, Gohan. Naive as always!

Oh well, three left!

Y...You!

You filthy monster... How can you act so proud when all you've done is steal power from others!

No matter how strong you get, we WILL overpower you!

We're finishing this, Cell!

Haaaaa!

Take this!

Ungaaah?!

Grrngh...

Hraaaaaah!

Gaaaaagh!

Cabba!

Only...

TWO LEFT!

Rgh!

Don't get ahead of yourself!

!!

Your turn!

Gwaaah?!

Bardock!

*pant* *pant* And then there was one!

I never imagined I'd be able to have such an incredible battle!

To think that I, the ultimate being, would be pushed to the edge!

However, it seems I win after all!

This is the end, SHALLOT!

!!

You haven't gotten rid of me yet!

Naaarh...!!

*pant* *pant*

G-Gohan?! You're still able to move...

I won't be defeated!

Remember your own strength. We built it together, right?

That's right! Dad and I... I'm not fighting alone!

It'll be fine! Believe in yourself, Gohan!

There's no way I'd lose to you!

You tiresome little roach!

I'll send you to the Otherworld this time, just like your dad!

Try me!

I know now that one day my dad's gonna come back from the Otherworld!

That's why I have to defeat you and get back to my own era!

I will LIVE to see my dad again!

Ungh! Agh!

Shallot!

Right! Let's do this!

This WILL finish you, Cell!

N-No way!

A-Am I...going to lose?!

Hurry up and die, CELL!

Gah?! Aaaaaaah!

*pant* *pant*

Did we...get him?

Master!

Cabba! Bardock! You're alright!

As if... I don't think I've ever fought someone as strong as this guy.

I knew I should have ignored that nonsense invitation to join your team.

But I don't think we could've won if you weren't here to help us!

If ANY of us weren't here, I'm sure we would've lost. That Cell was one heck of an opponent.

But with this, we've finally avenged #17 and #18! We won!

Yeah!

At least spare a thought for the injured, will ya? Zahha's still passed out over there, right?

...Oh, right! Let's go grab him and head back to the city!
