The Day The Earth Stood Still: Cell Games Redux (BB x CF)

Bracca could swear that he could feel it when the wind blew past his long flowing red, spiky when he heard about the news that Goku stepped out of the Cell Games. It was something within the townsfolk in the nearby city that wondered what they should do now, now that there was no one else that could take on the insurmountable task in the form that demented alien from another planet. And for what purpose? Why, to test the strength of any who would dare approach him, of course. Even if it meant costing those their lives.

Overlooking the layout from above a cliff, Bracca folded his arms across his chest, studying the ring not more than 30 yards across from him with a focused look on his face, aiming his emerald irises at the one individual who stood dead center inside the ring: The one that they have all come to know as Cell.

Bracca had to admit it, though. This guy was not your typical average fighter, according to what he could sense from Cell. Judging from the feeling of his ki level, Cell was no doubt the strongest fighter out there. How else could he have bested Goku in just a few moves then nailed him with his own version of a Kamehameha?

Nevertheless, Bracca continued to stand there, waiting for the right time to step in. However, he could swear that he could feel that there was another person - no, another Saiya-jin - approach. Looking up and over his right shoulder, Bracca couldn't tell who this one was, but judging from how furious that he was, this was possibly the son of Goku.

Even Cell could feel it from the center of the ring, opening his wicked looking sky blue irises and looking up towards the corner of his eyes with a smirk. So... This is Gohan... The master of his own tournament thought to himself. I would expect nothing less out of him, I hope. He added, chuckling to himself in confidence.

Rhazui looked over at Bracca and frowned, "A new fighter?" She said slowly approaching the Saiya-jin. Rhazui was in the lower class armor that she was given at birth for her future ravaging that was cut short. It was like raditz's armor but more movable and easier for females. "Cell is formidable and I doubt this boy can handle him.", She analyzed the problem and hoped that Bracca didn't think that the boy should die. Rhazui hadn't fully got on good terms with the Z fighters despite her long history on the planet. She was more or less a person that would help out whenever she would want. "What do you want to do?", She asked him as she rested her hands at her hips waiting for his reply as her long wavy black hair blew slightly in the wind as she could feel that they were getting ready as their power levels were rising.

((Hope this is good. I decided to be on a form of team with you lovely ^^; ))

(That's perfect. ^_^)

Bracca glanced over to the female Saiya-jin and arched an eyebrow at her remark. "What should we do?" He asked. "Well, we have a bit of a problem on our hands. For one, Kakarot is out of commission and the boy that's coming into the ring is possibly hell-bent at the fact that that one down there was solely responsible for giving him the boot, so to speak." He answered, closing his eyes in thought as he continued to mentally analyze the situation at hand.

"What we need to do is hold the boy back for a moment so that we can take him on instead." Bracca finally stated, nodding a few times and reopening his eyes. "And judging from how their respective ki is rapidly rising, I suggest we get moving now if we're going to be the ones to take him on and hopefully out. The other Z-Fighters aren't nearly strong enough to handle Cell." He added, looking over to Rhazui as he spoke.

"You haven't been the only one that hasn't been busting my ass off in preparation for this, Rhazui. And I do believe that I got a few tricks up my sleeve that's guaranteed to level his ass out." Bracca answered, despite his focused look only became slightly more urgent. "But if you believe that we can take him on, then so be it." He added, soon levitating upwards then followed her to Cell's ring.

From the sky above, Gohan stopped short and froze there when he felt that there was not one, but two more warriors that now joined the fray. "What...?!" He exclaimed, his eyes wide. Where did those two come from?! They're not like anyone I've ever known... Who are they and where did they come from? He thought.

Cell's attention was soon drawn to two new warriors, some that he had never seen or heard of previously. But judging from the aura the two put off, they were quite the tandem. But there was something about the male that landed next to the female that made him curious just as much as the female. Who are they...? Cell thought. Oh well. No matter. I'll make quick work of them first before Gohan gets here. He added to himself with a smirk.

"So..." Cell began in all of his bravado, studying the two that had now stood before him. "You two wish to challenge someone as great and as powerful as I?" He added, chuckling softly while maintaining his confidence. "I do hope for your own sake that you know what you're getting into." He added in a cocky manner.

Gohan wasn't in the least bit interested in stopping, but whoever this woman was, she had a point in telling him to stop for a moment and just chill out. But what he couldn't shake was the fact that this asshole beat his father after what was considered to be a vicious and bloody battle that saw Goku eventually throwing in towel. But even then, she may be right.

Bracca glanced over to Rhazui when she decided to openly taunt Cell as if telling her to can the attitude. Besides, there was no need in letting him decimate the planet all because of some unneccesary taunting, for there was a time for words and there was a time for action. Right now, this alien could've blown this entire planet sky high if he wanted to.

But Cell only stood there, laughing softly at the female's remark as if he was chatting amongst friends. "A mere threat, if I'm not mistaken." He answered, batting her taunting words off to the side. "In any case, what are you two doing here, anyway?" He added, his expression suddenly hardening into a harsh look.

Again, Cell paid no heed to the females scathing remark. "Whatever do you mean, my dear lady?" He asked, his ego never ceasing to level off. "If you want my opinion on the whole matter, it doesn't make any difference to me what you or anyone else thinks. If I don't have some sort of suitable competition, then I suppose I should put an end to your miserable planet." He added, smirking jovially.

"And yet," He added, looking upwards as the female took to the skies. "I believe I'm long overdue for a challenge of any sort." He concluded.

"Then I suppose we'll be the ones who'll be giving you that challenge." Bracca stated, soon striking an offensive before charging hard into battle.

Cell, on the other hand, grinned at the two coming his way. "Then by all means, you fools! Show me a real battle I'll never forget!" He demanded before taking to the skies and headed straight for the female with wild smile on his face.

At the exact instant that he saw the female transform, Cell paused for merely a moment and grinned up at her with that same cold and calculating look on his face. Another one of these Super Sayians? He thought, not even fazed by this turn of events. Just who do these monkeys think they are dealing with?! He added to himself as he watched her dash towards him exposively before engaging her in a high-speed duel. As the battle began to rage, Cell was caught off-guard when he saw that she had now ascended to an even higher level, causing his eyes to widen for merely a second. That second was all that the female needed to deliver a devastating amount of punishment that no mere mortal was capable of receiving and just as quick as he was up in the air with her, Cell was immediately driven back down to the ground facefirst into the center of the ring, nearly missing Bracca in the process by just about several inches more.

By then, Bracca had to step back and eventually out of the ring. One thing he knew he didn't need to do was get caught in that intense Kamehameha Wave that was now barreling towards the alien at a frantic rate of speed.

But Cell was only just warming up. After getting up onto one knee, he lifted his head back just in time to see the massive blast heading his way and grinned at it. As quick as a whisper in the wind, the alien vanished just seconds before the blast struck, causing an earth-shaking explosion that rocked the very foundation of the earth's crust, causing everything within a 75-mile radius to either shake wildly or crumble to the ground from the sheer amount of force.

Cell would then reappear behind the female, grinning at her before suddenly spinning her around to face him and deliver an intense combination of piston-powered punches to the face and torso as well as kicks to her thighs and lower legs before thrusting her away from him by planting both feet savagely into her stomach area.

"Here's how you do it!" Cell called as he righted himself up with his hands pulled back. "Kamehame...!!!" He announced as a charge of energy went went into his hands, readying to fire it as it became the size of a medicine ball.

Bracca was now in hot pursuit, knowing full well that he couldn't allow the alien to throw that attack at her. His answer to that attempted attack was now well on its way. "GALICK GUN!!!" Bracca shouted as a beam of purplish energy was suddenly headed Cell's way.

Cell glanced back at that incoming attack and just as simple as he had dodged the female's attack, he only vanished just seconds as it came close, missing him by mere inches before reappearing behind Bracca.

"HA!!!" Cell screamed, thrusting his hands outward and launching a tremendous amount of energy at the male.

It was unclear whether or not Bracca made it through the blast, but he did. His arms were held up in front of his face, a slight majority of his armor was blown away and his skin was somewhat singed. But there was now something different about Bracca as he stood there. His body was now emitting a powerful wave of energy and his hair was now swept upwards and was glowing a brilliant blonde. There was now another Super Sayian on the battlefield, fired up and ready to plunge into battle.

As Bracca lowered his arms from his angered face, he stood there for a moment as he watched watch was unfolding before him.

Cell was once again distracted by that damned female who caught him cleanly in the face a few more times before being launched high into the sky mercilessly. Looking down, the alien growled furiously as he began swatting the ki blasts away from him and directed three of them back at the female.

The flying disk of energy that was coming his way, however, was another obstacle that could be accomplished. Growling lowly, Cell once again dodged the incoming attack but kept an eye on it in case if it came back.

"I'm on it!" Bracca called as he rocketed towards the alien's way and caught him in midair by his tail then begun to spin rapidly, faster and faster until he finally threw him at mach speed. Not to be only one left behind however, Bracca immediately gave chase after Cell after the alien managed to stop himself from hurtling any further.

From there, the two clashed, engaging the other in a wild string of attacks, lefts, rights, kicks, knees, elbows and virtually anything relating to the other's body parts were now flying at the other at a violent rate of speed before Bracca soon got the upper hand on Cell, first delivering a vicious shot to the face, a knee to the stomach and finally a wicked uppercut under the jaw that sent Cell only higher and higher up into the sky, far beyond the clouds, but not beyond the senses of those that could feel each earth shaking strike from down below.

This time, it was Cell that would soon gain the upper hand once the two locked horns again, pushing the male back a few yards as he quickly conjured up a disk shaped energy wave in his right hand and launched it at him furiously.

Bracca managed to dodge it, narrowly missing the top of his skull by mere inches but had snipped a few strands of his long flowing blonde mane. But even as Bracca dodged the disk, it was now coming back his way again. Bracca once again dodged it, but the disk had managed to cut into the side of his armor and about several inches into his flesh, getting a pained wail out of the male Sayian.

Cell then took the initiative once more as he saw his opponent begin to falter and landed a crushing series of high powered blows to the face and stomach before cocking both of his hands back then swung down hard onto his back, causing Bracca to rocket to the ground at a tremendous amount of speed. But even with this setback, Bracca opened his eyes just when Cell was about to follow up with another ferocious series and caught his fist squarely in his palm.

"What?!" Cell shouted.

Bracca only grinned before suddenly torquing Cell's hand to the side, causing several bones in the alien's hand to snap and eventually break before eventually tearing his entire forearm straight off of the bone and casted it to the side before directing a strong ki blast into Cell's face, causing the alien being to fall from the sky and plummeting to the ground below.

Bracca hardly expected much more from Rhazui, but for her to launch one more tremenous blast like that, according to how he felt it was something that might taxed her quite thoroughly. As a gust of wind rushed by him, the male Super Sayian had to once more put his hands up in front of his face so as not to get blown away from the amount of gale that was whipping by him. Once it was over, Bracca lowered his hands from his face as he the damage she caused with that blast, seeing Cell's body lying on the ground. Of the pieces that remained, there was only his head, upper body and his left arm lying there in a bloodied mess about several feet in a crater in the ground, surprisingly motionless.

"That had to have done it..." Bracca said to himself as he slowly flew back down to the ground, landing back down on his feet and walked back over to what he figured might have been the alien's grave and reverted back to his normal state.

There was still no motion from Cell's body as he laid there, coated in his own blood. Nodding in approval, Bracca turned away from the dead alien, his eyes closed in thought.

Gohan wasn't the slightest bit convinced that battle was over. Even at their given strengths - whoever these two Sayians were, anyway - something deep within the very pit of his soul seemed to say that there was just something wrong about the quietness that now spawned. Something's not right... He thought as he continued keeping his eyes on the crater. Whatever it is that I'm feeling, it's telling me that something about this just doesn't feel right...

That's when the realization hit him. Cell was beginning to regenerate!

Gohan's eyes shot wide open as he then called to the female Sayian in the crater and the male that had walked out.

"HEY! YOU TWO! HE'S NOT DEAD!!!" He shouted to Bracca and Rhazui.

"Too late!" Cell snapped as his eyes shot open and suddenly reached a hand out and grabbed the female Sayian by the throat.

"What?!" Bracca shouted as he spun around as he watched the alien levitate out of the crater with Rhazui firmly in his grasp as pieces of his body began to regrow from the areas he was missing limbs from.

"I will have to admit it to you two. You both have bput up a rather valiant effort today in coming to meet me here on my field of battle," Cell began as he continued to hold the female Sayian by the neck as he felt his body progressivly return to normal moments later. "But it was all for nothing, I'm afraid to say." He added.

Bracca immediately powered back up into his Super Sayian state once more and was about to haul off at the green alien who only held the female out there in front of him.

"Ah, ah, ah." Cell singsonged, holding his new regenerated hand out and waving a finger at Bracca. "I wouldn't get so hasty if I were you, my dear friend." He added sarcastically as he tightened his grip on the female's neck, threating to either strangle her to death or snap her neck and kill her instantly.

"PUT HER DOWN!!!" Bracca shouted at Cell, his anger beginning to rise rapidly.

"And why should I?" The alien asked, smiling at him mockingly. "Is she really that valuable to you? It didn't seem like it to me when I was having fun playing possum with your little friend here." He added, glancing over to the female and chuckled darkly for a moment before aiming his cruel and calculating eyes back at Bracca.

By now, Bracca was starting to really lose it as he continued to watch Rhazui hang there by the neck. Progressively, the chains that was holding his next level of power was beginning to rattle as to how according the waves of energy was starting to change slightly.

"I swear to God, I'll kill you if you lay one more finger on her...!!!" Bracca snarled, his face fixed into a look of fury.

"Like this one?" Cell answered, striking Rhazui across the face with an open-palmed slap to the face as if he was admonishing a child.

Bracca was about seconds away from really letting loose, but this alien was just goading him into making a move that would cost Rhazui her life as she hung there in Cell's grip. His hellish fury was only beginning to rise more and more until he finally hit his breaking point.

Within seconds, a transformation began to take place on the battlefield after a rage-filled battle cry erupted across the landscape, one that Cell would only stand there while continuing to hold the female in his grasp and look on in confusion for moment as a brilliant flash of light emitted from Bracca's body, causing the earth to start shaking everywhere.

Once it was all over, Bracca stood there, his hands clenched tightly at his sides. The changes that were different this time was that Bracca's hair was now slightly spikier and was now an even more brilliant shade of blonde, jutting out wildly as streaks of lightning were zipping this way and that across his body. Apparently, according to those that were looking on, there was now another Super Sayian 2 on the field, aiming his turquiose eyes of righteous wrath and fury at a somewhat dumbstruck Cell.

"Well..." The alien said once the transformation was complete. "This makes things a little more interesting..." He added, dropping the female as if she were nothing more than a mere sack of potatoes.

Cell continued to grin at the ascended Super Sayian as if there was nothing else that mattered in the world to him than to accept this challenge by him. Slowly, the alien would then move out of the crator and landed gently on his feet as he continued to aim his eyes at Bracca who only glared back at him with a look of purely focused animosity back at him.

"It doesn't matter how strong you are, my dear opponent. As you have seen from the looks of your friend here, even she has a hard time keeping up with someone such as myself." Cell stated purely in confidence. "Besides, even the two of you giving your best efforts thus far have proved to have been menial at best. But now that I have seen that this is only the beginning of the battle, I do believe I should play around with you for a little while longer..." He added, chuckling darkly before grinning again.

Bracca was silent for a moment as he continued to keep his eyes trained on the alien being before he eventually answered. "Playing around?" He answered, narrowing his eyes at Cell. "I wouldn't call this playing around, asshole." He concluded sharply before suddenly disappearing in front of Cell's eyes almost instantly and reappearing in front of him before launching Cell skyward with an earth-shaking uppercut to the jaw. Once he was launched into the air, Bracca gave chase, his eyes hellbent on savagely beating the alien being into a bloodied pulp and making sure there wasn't enough for a dog to eat.
