When we last saw our heroes, they were preparing to take up the challenge of Cell’s Tournament when suddenly two new fighters mysteriously emerged from the hyperbolic time chamber. Are they who the Z Fighters need to save the earth? Will the two even be willing to take the time out of their own quest to help? Find out today on CC Date Z!
ON TOP OF KAMI’S LOOKOUT
Raven: *to Hiei* We need to find a way back into your own cartoon so we can rescue Kurama.
Hiei: The traditional way of exiting a cartoon is ineffective, I have a feeling we are still in the Tower of Terror.
Raven: So how do we get back to the ‘tower’ part?
Hiei: This is just like one of those fool psychic’s territories. >.> Inside them we can only do what they want us to do.
Raven: So we just need to play along.
Hiei: And find a way to beat him in the process.
Krillin: Sounds great! So you’re going to come with us now right? The tournament is about to begin.
Raven: *to Hiei* Do we have a choice?
Hiei: *under breath while clenching fist* Another meaningless tournament. When I get my hands on that fool, I will make him pay!
Trunks: Well lets go; it’s about to start.
IN THE SINISTER ROOM WITH THE SINISTER FIGURE AND A BOUND KURAMA
Sinister Voice: So enlighten me. How do you think they will fare? What outcome do you foresee in this? *small sinister laugh at Kurama’s stubborn silence* Might as well get cozy. This could take a while. The DragonBall series is known for making fights last for episodes on end. Perhaps I should have started them on someone smaller like Frieza? Hm Jonny boy? But the Hyperbolic transition was more convenient, so Cell will have to do. *medium sinister laugh*
*On the screen: Hercule’s pupils drop from a helicopter. Krillin states, “It must be national goofball day,” and Hiei replies, “Fools. The lot of them.” Raven and Hiei watch with the Z gang as Hercule and his pupils make fools of themselves on international television. After which Goku starts to fight Cell. Watching, watching, watching. Hiei states, “This is pointless,” and Raven responds, “True, but there isn’t much we can do until this is over.” Watching, watching, watching. Discovering how Cell can regenerate lost limbs, Hiei comments on the similarity between him and the Elder Toguro. Watching, watching, watching. Goku is offered a sensu bean, but instead Goku concedes.*
Sinsister Voice: With Goku’s plan to defeat Cell, he really won’t be needing the help of our friends there. He has faith that his son will be able to finish it all. It will play out like that unless we…say…change something? After all, I’m sure Hiei and Raven would rather not waste their time there to simply watch a fight they have no interest in.
*On the screen: While Gohan is fighting Cell, out of the blue his incurred injuries are causing him overwhelming pain so he doubles over. The Z fighters look on in awe as Gohan’s consciousness slips away.*
Sinister Voice: Oh dear…did I do that? What hope is there now? Can our two little friends cut it? *big sinister laugh*
IN THE MIDST OF THE Z FIGHTERS
Goku: GOHAN! What’s wrong?
Cell: How utterly disappointing. The child did not put up much of a fight. *calling out to the Z fighters* I do not appreciate being mocked like this. Perhaps I should destroy your planet all in one blow?
Trunks: Oh No! I don’t think I can take on Cell and I know my father won’t last against him either.
Yamcha: But if Goku couldn’t defeat Cell and Gohan’s out, then what can we do?!?
Hiei: Stop whining like babies. It’s irritating. *walks out to meet Cell*
Cell: Oh another spikey-haired punk child. *sarcastic* I’m so scared!
Hiei: You should be. *throws off cloak and draws sword*
*They stare at each other for a bit then Hiei sprints towards him at his top speed and slices through Cell while Cell just stands with his arms crossed…however Hiei’s sword breaks on its first impact, leaving his subsequent swings meaningless. Hiei sneers as he faces Cell.*
Cell: Tut tut my little man. This is a martial arts tournament, no swords allowed.
Hiei: *throws hilt aside* But my attacks that I make without a physical weapon should work, perhaps then I’ll get straight to the point. *arm glows with a dark fire* DRAGON OF THE DARKNESS FLAME!
*Hiei screams as he unleashes the overwhelming power of the dark dragon and it shoots towards Cell. Cell just sits back as the dragon carries him in his mouth, similar to when Sensui sat and let the dragon push him closer to Demon World. Hercule and the Bozos are once again blown over in awe with Hercule claiming it all to be a really good trick. Hiei continues to unleash the dragon until exhaustion hits him. The Dragon gives out and Hiei drops to his knees. Cell lands neatly on the ground, arms still crossed.*
Cell: Well that attack certainly looked magnificent.
Krillin: O_O That was a sure fancy attack!
Yamcha: O_O And it didn’t even scratch Cell!
Goku: ^o^ What an amazing fighter! I hope we get a chance to talk after all this!
*shocked but calm, Raven flies out to Hiei and kneels in front of him*
Raven: Are you okay?
Hiei: I have some strength left, but my body needs to hibernate after unleashing a Dragon like that. Take care of things.
Raven: Just hang in there. I have a plan.
Cell: Giving up before I have a chance to fight back? That’s not very sporting of you.
*Raven stands and turns to face Cell*
Raven: You will face me now.
Cell: Now a little lady challenges me? Oh dear women and children out on the battlefield. What is this world coming to?
Raven: You don’t scare me.
Cell: How brave and noble…or stupid. Do you fail to realize that while I am in my perfect form I am unstoppable? My genes are designed from the finest warriors this world had to offer, and I carry all of their skills! As you saw when I was fighting Goku, even if you blow half of my body away, thanks to Piccolo I can regenerate myself! As long as I have a surviving Cell I will always come back! HAHAHAAA!
Raven: Then I just have to make sure every last one of your cells is destroyed. Azerath Metrion, ZINTHOS!
*Raven unleashes power that surrounds Cell. The sphere starts to shrink, causing Cell to begin to curl.*
Cell: What are you trying to do to me?
Raven: If you try to kill a starfish by cutting it in half, it will grow back. To kill a starfish, it must be boiled in oil. I am compressing the air around you until every last one of your cells is cooked out of existence.
Cell: No! You can’t do this to me! *starts powering up* I am the strongest fighter in the universe!
*Cell is able to push the bubble back while Raven grunts and struggles to keep it around him. Cell screams as he powers up creating a barrier of energy around him that Raven isn’t strong enough to hold down.*
Cell: See? Even if you have a good idea, it won’t do you any good if you can’t pull it off! HAAAAA!
*The eyes that have been glowing under Raven’s hood close as she tries to maintain the bubble. She lets out a scream as four narrow slits glow where her eyes were. Darkness reaches out from her cloak and reaches the ground. Tentacles reach out from the bottom of the darkness and wrap around the bubble, enclosing it around Cell. Muffled screams can be heard where Cell is trapped.*
Raven: *dark layer to voice* What’s the matter? Is the all-powerful Cell being beaten by women and children?
Cell: *muffled* Uncle! Uncle! I give up let me out!
Raven: *dark voice layer continues* That’s not going to happen.
Ditz’s voice: But I’m not even Cell, see, I’m really Ditz!
Raven: *suddenly remembering her former mission to locate Ditz with Kurama and wanting to rescue him-{She and Hiei had been in DBZ for many episode lengths by this point}-eyes and voice return to nomral* Ditz?
*The darkness below Raven fades away and she floats to the ground. The darkness that surrounded Cell dissipates to reveal a small orange figure which really is Ditz.*
Raven: *takes a breath* Will you come with us now?
Ditz: *perks up* In your dreams! HAHAHA!
*Ditz sticks his thumb in his mouth and puffs up then explodes. When the dust is clear he has vanished once again. Raven turns to check on Hiei and kneels in front of him again.*
Raven: You’re still conscious.
Hiei: For a bit longer…I wanted to see your plan…good job…your hidden power that came out was worth it to see… *collapses onto Raven*
Raven: *holds Hiei and thinks out loud* That was something that should never be let loose…and yet…and yet you are okay with it? *looks at Hiei who is completely out* I suppose now we can progress. Now I know for certain at least that Ditz is here.
BACK IN THE SINISTER ROOM
Sinister Voice: hm, Goku is still alive…this could pose a problem later in the series…oh well *small sinister laugh* But wow, that girl is good, I can see why you like her. *medium sinister laugh* Should we have more fun with them or let them find their way back here now? I think they may be ready, did you notice how Hiei trusted her to take care of him before giving his all in attack, and he didn’t even threaten her like he did during the Dark Tournament. *big sinister laugh that echoes throughout the halls and corridors of the Tower of Terror*
