Volatile battlefield
🕑 Added 2023-06-07 12:08:51 +0000 UTCHands folded, spiky hair fluttering in the wind and one leg raised infront in a semi blocking style, this was how Radarot had countered Cell Max.
He was standing mid air with a smile on his face, and as Cell stared in shock at his attack being blocked so easily, Radarot's narrowed his eyes.
*Swish*
Spinning around as if he was standing on clear ice, Radarot smoothly removed his leg from the blocking position and raised his hand.
In which a large erasure canon took shape mid spin, which Radarot threw like a cannonball on Cell's head.
*Booom*
Causing Cell's head to spontaneous combust, getting erased from existence just like the attack's name would suggest.
Cell Max stumbled backwards without a head but his body still didn't fall down, Cell's hands tried to grab his head by instinct but only managed to grab a stump.
Causing Cell to stagger back once more, but his panicked state didn't last long, the flesh on his stump unnaturally squished inwards, as if something was hiding inside his torso.
*Squelch*
And just like that, a brand new head popped out of Cell's neck stump, like it was hiding in his torso all along.
Radarot looked at the display and thought to himself.
'Majin Buu and Zamasu's immortality far outclasses this, not to mention this is pretty gross.'
Of course if it was more useful Radarot won't care if it was gross, but even in usefulness it was far behind the other two.
"Huff huff huff."
Cell Max who had regrown his head was scared and panting, this was another attack he couldn't block, what if it wasn't just his head next time?
"Radarot.."
Cell growled looking at the waiting Radarot, he wasn't pleased at Radarot's display of skill.
He felt like a newbie who was being played around by a senior martial artist, Cell didn't like this feeling.
But even in a situation like this, he still didn't panic completely.
"Radarot, you are very strong, much stronger than me."
"But how long can you last in that form..?"
Cell asked with a shifty look on his face, something which Radarot caught onto and raised his eyebrows.
"I can last in this form for 30 minutes, what of it?"
And just like that, for a good fight, Goku's personality showed itself again, giving away such a crucial detail which Raditz would never have divulged.
But once more, Raditz who was also a part of this fusion showed his traits, so after he had said this piece of info, his energy had started boiling, he was ready to kill Cell before 30 minutes were over.
Cell knew not about this contradictory thinking in his opponent's mind, because all his attention was focused on surviving the upcoming 30 minutes.
And he knew only one way he could survive the onslaught.
Giving a sadistic look to Radarot, Cell yelled, in an fashion which showed the anger hidden behind his words.
"What of it?! In only 30 minutes, can you kill me..?"
"I am Cell! I can regenerate from every wound you can inflict on me, a tiny being like you can never fully eliminate me!"
"I am invincible! Do you hear me!"
Cell roared, his anger at being nothing but a sandbag showing itself to everyone.
But even then, there was an undertone of pride in his words.
No matter how much they wanted this to not be true, Cell was indeed correct, now as Cell Max, he was massive in size.
Making sure every single Cell of such large creature was erased was really hard.
This was something which Radarot had found out as well it seems, as after hearing Cell's words, his eyes narrowed.
"You are planning on outlasting me with regeneration..?"
With no further words, Radarot instant transmitted to Cell, creating an eraser canon with both hands.
This had Cell unable to react and before he could get out of the way, Radarot had unleashed the ever enlarging erasure canon upon Cell Max.
He had decided to erase Cell and that was exactly what he was going to do.
"Aaaaagh!!"
Cell screamed in terror as he was getting hit by the light green energy, his body was getting destroyed cell by cell and a searing pain was shooting through him.
Sadly, in a few more seconds, the screams stopped abruptly and Cell's body was erased from the world.
"Did, did we make it..?"
Asked Krillin in a stammering way, he couldn't sense Cell anymore, so they won right?
The z fighters also tried to sense Cell but after a few more seconds, they couldn't anymore, so slowly smiles began to emerge on their faces.
"We won!"
"We did it!"
"Good job King, Kakarot!"
The z fighters celebrated this win happily but it was only Piccolo and Tien who were concerned.
Because Radarot hadn't moved from his spot after he had fired off his erasure canon.
In fact he looked even more serious than before.
Not knowing about any of this, Satan and the camera crew started running towards Radarot, trying to get the latest interview.
"Wait, something's wrong!"
Piccolo exclaimed, but it fell on deaf ears as the camera crew was hell bent on getting the latest scoop.
So when a small wiggling green mass appeared mid air, and in a few seconds grew upto the size of a mountain, the crew were flabbergasted and frozen in place.
Satan became so scared watching the mass take on the form of Cell that he screamed out in terror.
"Boss! Save me!"
Thankfully his shouts seems to have been heard, as Radarot flickered before the team, collected them with telekinesis and teleported out of Cell Max's reach.
*Bang*
And just in time too, because that was the exact spot Cell Max's newly regenerated body landed on.
With a newfound confidence in his regeneration, Cell Max roared, as if all his worries had been resolved.
"HAHAHA!"
"You can't kill me Radarot!"
And contrary to normal, Radarot didn't counter Cell's words, Cell Max's instincts were right, he was too big to be killed off in one shot, and when incinerated, the few remaining cells were too hard to find.
He was basically impossible to one shot, which was the only way to kill him.
At least it couldn't be done at the level of power gap they were currently at.
But the bad news wasn't only this, Radarot looked seriously at Cell while standing with the camera crew, who were taking a close up shot of this scene, and Cell dropped another piece of news onto them.
"You can sense it can't you Radarot.!"
"That's right, the worse you hurt me, the stronger I'll become! Unless you can kill me before I can regenerate, I will always return stronger."
"I am the perfect being!"
Just like in the original, after he had regenerated from a single cell, he had jumped straight to Super Saiyan 2, this time around Cell had experienced something similar as well, and the cause of all this was Saiyan's innate ability, the zenkai boost.
A zenkai boost was triggered with grievous wounds, for Saiyans this stops being a thing after a certain time, but Cell had significantly improved upon this limitation.
Cell had both King Cold's and Piccolo's genes on top of Saiyan genes, unlike Saiyans, King Cold's natural body was stronger and his limit higher, and unlike Saiyans, Piccolo's regeneration can be triggered even when only one Cell remained.
'This makes Cell's zenkai continue for a much longer time than ours.'
'That means the more I attempt to kill him, the stronger I will make him.'
Radarot stared at Cell with a frown, and the rest of the z fighters looked at Cell's newfound power with sweat pouring down their heads.
They only hoped the combination of their best fighters could figure something out.
They can still do this all it needs was a plan, a plan to trap Cell so he cannot escape.
