The Z fighters tried to blast Cell as he was fighting Gohan with a powerful Kamehameha wave. They were powerless against him; he flicked them away with his energy. Gohan was putting everything he had left into his own Kamehameha wave. His father was giving him all the advice he could. Vegeta looked on in horror. He flew up to try his hand at distracting Cell in order for Gohan to overtake the evil android.
He powered up a small blast with his remaining energy. “Take this, Cell,” he said to himself as he fired it down towards Cell. It didn’t scathe Cell at all. He looked over his shoulder and released his energy, sending Vegeta flying to the ground.
Gohan struggled. Cell was putting more energy into his attack. “I…can’t hold him off…” Gohan tried to power up more, but he couldn’t. “I’m sorry…”
“This is it, kid!” Cell yelled. “Join your father!” Cell put even more energy into his Kamehameha wave. Gohan lost control, and lost the fight. Cell blasted Gohan away, along with anything that stood behind him for miles.
Gohan was gone. The Z fighters couldn’t believe their eyes; they could no longer feel Gohan’s life energy. “Gohan!” Piccolo yelled at the top of his lungs.
Cell was still standing in his fighting position. He looked at the large trench in the ground before him. He began to laugh a wicked laugh. He slowly stood up and turned to the exhausted Z fighters. “Well, it looks like the Earth belongs to me now.”
“No…” Vegeta said, trying to sit up.
“Gohan…” Krillin said to himself.
“It’s all over you guys…” Yamcha said quietly.
Cell started walking over to the fallen warriors. “I hope your enjoying the little time you have left,” he said laughing. He stopped in front of Piccolo.
“Cell, you monster!” Piccolo threw a blast at Cell’s face. Cell turned his head to the side, the blast flying by him.
Cell held out his hand and laughed. “It looks like you’ve struck out.” He formed a blast in his hand and sent it into Piccolo’s stomach. Piccolo didn’t have a chance. Cell laughed to himself as he turned towards Tien. “It looks like you’re next in line.”
Tien knew he didn’t have a chance. He had given himself up as Cell did the same to him as he had done to Piccolo. One by one Cell erased the Z fighters from existence. He smiled to himself and looked around. “Well, now that they’re out of the way, I’m free to do what I want.” He searched the area for the six humans that had attended the Cell Games. He flew up and found them hiding behind a rock. When they saw him standing above them, they tried to scurry away. It didn’t take Cell long to dispose of them all, which he did in one swish of his finger. “That takes care of that annoying human.” He smiled. “Imagine, a human who thought that he could defeat me.”
As he started flying away, he found the bodies of Trunks and Android 18. “Just in case,” he said as he blasted the plateau. He flew to the nearest city so he may celebrate his victory. “I am the first and only one who was able to truly defeat Goku!”
Cell came upon a large city known as Orangeville City. He flew between the buildings; his energy alone was enough to demolish them. Any human he saw running away, standing in fear, or laying already dead on the ground, he blasted away. For the next couple of days Cell traveled from city to city, destroying any trace that remained.
* * *Three days had passed since Earth fell into the hands of the powerful android. He was traveling over the countryside, which was scattered with farms. He had already grown tired of destroying the people of Earth. None of them put up a good fight, if any at all. “They’re all weak. I am the only “perfect” being on this pathetic planet.” News had traveled quickly from country to country, continent to continent. Soon the whole planet knew of Cell’s rampage of destruction. People had sought shelter by hiding in underground hideouts, hoping the monster wouldn’t find them. However, some people refused to leave. They were determined to die with their honor, knowing that they did their best to survive, and also realizing that they didn’t stand a chance against Cell.
Cell flew on, blasting away houses, barns, animals, and humans. He started to reshape the different areas. If the ground was flat, he’d make them hilly, if the ground was mountainous, he’d flatten it. Soon, there was no sign of life for miles and miles. Cell, had destroyed it all.
On the fifth day of his rampage of destruction, Cell came upon a small town; 160 miles away from where the Cell games were held. He landed on the smoothly paved road and looked around. Nothing. It was deserted. He walked around looking for the slightest bit of movement. Then he came across a girl in an ally. She lay on her side, trying to look dead. However, Cell knew she was alive. He smiled and walked up next to her. He pushed her legs with his foot. She didn’t move. Using his mind, he lifted her into the air, holding her up straight. Her head tilted to her left; and she still didn’t make a sound or the slightest bit of movement.
Cell looked at her with interest. She thinks she’s fooling me, he thought to himself. Let’s see if I can shake her up a bit. He pointed his finger in front of her face, waiting to see if she’d open her eyes. She remained still. He ran his thumb over her cheek. He saw her hand twitch for a moment, but she regained control of herself. She’s better at this than I thought. He tried to think of something that would get her complete attention. He got an idea, but he hesitated on performing it. Finally he decided he’d try it. He picked up her slightly trembling hand and kissed it gently. The girl lost control. Her body started to tremble.
“You might as well give up,” he said to her. “I know you’re not dead, and I’ll continue to get your attention until you give it to me.”
