Tien sighed in frustration. "Man! It's all over; Cell's won! It... ...Cant... ...Be!" Tien 
clenched his fist in anger. Goku had recommended that Tien stay with Mr. Popo and Dende while 
the other's fought at the Cell Game. Tien knew that he didn't stand a chance against Cell so he 
agreed. Before the others left, Goku had managed to gather all of the Dragonballs together and 
entrusted Tien with them. Now all the others were gone. Goku put up a good fight, but Cell 
absorbed him making him even more stronger. Gohan did his best but was killed by a huge 
KameHameHa. Krillin, Yamcha, and Chautzo were all absorbed. Now Earth's only hope lies in will of
the World's strongest pure human: Tenshinhan.  Tien knew that he didn't stand a chance in the 
shape he was in so he had given up all hope. Tien pointed two fingers at his head and began to 
charge energy into them. Right before Tien discharged the energy, Mr. Popo tackled him to the 
ground and smacked him in the face. "Tien, how could you even think of killing yourself? You're 
Earth's only hope. What would Goku think? Remember, we still have the Dragonballs. There is still
 hope. If you won't do it for yourself then do it for Chautzo!" Tien exhaled a deep gust of air.
 "You're right Mr. Popo, there still is a chance!" Tien stood up and walked over to Dende. "Dende
, I have an idea but you have to trust me. I need you to summon the dragon. Can you do that for 
me?" "Sure Tien. " Dende stood before the 7 glistening orbs and raised his hands to the sky. 
"Oomba lokius do neiro say lok Shenron dais soto pour stantard moshtar arise!" Suddenly the sky 
turned black and lightning shot out of the clouds like rain. The balls hovered above Kami's 
lookout and began to glow. Abruptly, yellow light shot out of the Dragonballs and a sillouhette 
of Shenron appeared. Soon the lightning ended and Shenron stood in full form. "Dende, I need you 
to ask the dragon to restore the Hyperbolic Time Chamber." "Ok, listor hyperbostic tome chamey 
restore!" The entire lookout shook violently and then there was a flash of light and Shenron was 
gone, along with the seven Dragonballs. Tien stopped shielding his eyes and looked in awe as the 
Hyperbolic Time Chamber stood in the middle of Kami's lookout. Tien finally explained his plans 
to Mr. Popo and Dende. "I'm going to train in the Chamber for 3 days Earth time. During that time
 I will become incredibly strong and I should be able to put up a fight with Cell. However, there
is no telling whether or not I will be able to beat him. You have to remember that Cell did 
absorb a Super Saiyan Jin. I just know that I can reach a Super Human level and that is what I 
am striving for. In the mean time, I want you and Mr. Popo to find the Dragonballs again. I need
 you to wish for Gohan to come back to life. He was just about to reach a level greater than that
 of a Super Saiyan Jin. He could be very useful. Once you wish him back make sure that he comes 
into the Chamber to train. We both will need to be as strong as possible." Tien began to walk 
towards the door of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber when Dende called out," Tien, how are we supposed
 to find the Dragonballs?" Without looking back Tien tossed the Dragon Radar over his shoulder 
into Dende's hand. "Good luck guys." said Tien as the heavy steel door of the Hyperbolic Time 
Chamber slammed shut behind him. The next Earth day, Gohan entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
 The next Earth day, Gohan exited the Hyperbolic Time Chamber glowing. Mr. Popo and Dende almost
 fell over when they felt the enormous power that Gohan was putting out. "Gohan, you're ..... 
amazingly strong!" Dende said in awe. "Yeah, well right now I'm trying to hide my true power. 
You only sense about one forth of my strength!" This time Mr. Popo really did fall over with a 
loud bang. Gohan began to laugh tremendously. His hair seemed to be fuller and was spiked at 
every end. The blonde glow matched the bright aura that surrounded him. He stood there in 
tattered and ripped clothes. Dende examined Gohan a little closer and he noticed that his muscles 
at least tripled in size. The laughter was soon cut short by Tien's voice. "Hi guys, remember 
me?" Tien stepped out and Dende's mouth dropped to the ground. His power level was at least 15 
times that of Gohan's. "Wo Tien. What kind of training did you do in there?" asked Mr. Popo. "The
 usual, KameHameHa's, dodonpa's, kikoho's, and lot's of pushups. No time to talk, we've got a 
score to settle." Gohan had truly reached a level greater then that of a Super Saiyan. And Tien 
well, let's just say he accomplished his goal. Tien and Gohan blasted off of the lookout leaving
 a bright yellow trail disappearing as time progressed. "Good luck" waived Mr. Popo. Gohan and 
Tien soon reached the arena where Cell held his brutal blood sport. Cell sat in the center of 
the arena Indian style with bolts of lightning surrounding
 him. He had sensed their power from the moment they stepped out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
 "So, the hero's son and a poor pathetic human. Haven't you people learned yet that Cell cannot 
be defeated. I am invincible. Why don't the two of you run of and cower in your homes and wait 
for the day that I knock on your door and blow your families to pieces?" Cell snickered. Tien 
clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. "We've come to challenge you Cell. We've come to defeat
 you!" Cell looked up from the ground and grinned at Tien. "So be it, but from here on out 
there's no turning back. Which one of you is to face me first?" "I am!" Tien cried out. "Listen 
to me Gohan. I'm sure I can beat him. It is better for me to defeat him now then after he has 
beaten you." Gohan nodded in agreement.  Tien ran into the arena and instantly from the four 
corners sprang forth bolts of lightning caging the two fighter in. "This is but a percaussion." 
muttered Cell "It keeps you in..." Cell pointed at Gohan..."and him out!" "Let's do this!" 
screamed Tien. Tien held both of his hands to his side and charged a giant ball of energy. 
"KaaaaaaMeeeeeeHaaaaaaMeeeeeHaaaaaaa!" screams Tien as he lets loose a huge beam of light 
straight towards Cell. A huge flash of energy occurred, and then a gigantic uprise of dust. 
Once the dust cleared, Tien peered ahead. He saw a long divot digging into the ground and then
 Cell lying on his back in sheer agony. Cell began to moan and twitch as if he had been hit by 
an invisible freight train. Soon Cell stood up and brushed all of the dust off of himself. Cell 
tried to speak but his jaw was in great pain and when he reached up to massage it he felt a warm 
liquid oozing out of him mouth. Cell was bleeding. This made Cell madder than ever. A greenish 
yellow aura covered Cell's body and Cell's power level quadrupled. Cell began to scream in rage 
and he held his arms forward palms facing toward Tien."Tonka dasupa!" A bight blue flame emitted
 from Cell's hands raced towards Tien with fury. Tien had no time to react. Instantly he was 
covered in the blue flame. It blew off both of Tien's legs and blew up his third eye. Tien lay 
in shambles on the ground bleeding vigorously. Suddenly Gohan became enraged and flew through 
the electrical currents towards Cell. Cell was caught off guard and Gohan flew right through 
Cell's stomach ripping out all of his organs. Cell began to tremble. Gohan stood before him in 
victory. However, Gohan's happiness soon turned to despair as Cell regenerated his stomach and 
the rest of his organs. Cell cracked his knuckles and held his arm out towards Gohan. "Tonka 
dasupa!" This time the flame engulfed Gohan and swallowed him whole. "Noooooooooooo!" Screamed 
Tien as Cell laughed hideously. Tien formed a triangle with his fingers and fired a beam of 
energy that sliced cell in half and caused him to explode. The explosion wiped out Tien and a 7 
mile radius (which had already been abandoned). From space, a giant yellow flash of light could 
be seen. And then, it was over. Cell was gone, along with all of the Z fighters. What would 
become of the Earth if another Super Villain would threaten the it? No one would be there to 
protect it.              <br><br>  The End.
