Immediately Going All Out! Vegeta's Dazzling Super Power

Another red blast flies out, another small island goes up. "It's useless no matter how you hide. It's a big mistake if you think you can hide, Number 18." He continues to blast islands as he speaks. Number 18 watches wide-eyed as nearby islands explode. "Is he really attacking like that?" Number 16, "Yes." She turns back to the exploding islands. Number 16 looks down in front of him and sees squirrels running around him. They run over his leg, then up around his neck and back down before scampering off. Number 18 jumps down from a high ledge that she had been watching from and walks over to Number 16. "If this goes on, it's just a matter of when he will get us." The squirrels return to Number 16. Number 18 smiles. "You're such a weirdo." Number 16 smiles peacefully. Another island explodes. Number 18 gasps and turns around, noticing that this one is especially close. The island is (was) close enough that the explosion throws up dust and dirt all around them. Number 18 raises her arms to shield herself from the winds.

"Number 18, I will absorb you by all means to become a whole body." A grin forms across his face. "Because that is the reason why I have come from the future." Another red ki ball forms in his hands. He throws it, obliterating yet another small island.

Vegeta flies toward Cell. "That's all of Cell's fighting force? What's Kakkarotto scared of?" He smiles and turns Super Saiya-jin, giving him a burst of speed. Trunks notes from behind, "Father's ki is going up. He's able to release this kind of ki so easily." Trunks follows suit, turning Super Saiya-jin and speeding up.

Bulma steps forward, carrying Chibi Trunks. Piccolo and Tenshinhan pretty much just ignore her. Piccolo, "I don't know how Vegeta and Trunks would increase their power, but Cell's power really is extraordinary. It's from another world. If Cell can absorb Number 18 and become a whole body before Goku finishes his practice..." Tenshinhan's utterances show that he knows where Piccolo's going with this. Piccolo continues, "...then even Goku will not be able to beat him. Maybe that's the end of everything." Tenshinhan raises a fist. "Damn it! I've never felt time move so slowly in my whole life." Bulma turns around. "How can a man be so cowardly? Son-kun is the strongest in the universe. He can win for sure, it's needless to say! Understand?" Piccolo and Ten are silent, but Chibi Trunks, on the other hand, begins wailing again. Bulma, "Don't cry, Trunks is a man. Don't cry."

Son Gohan looks around. "Why is it nothing but white?" He looks down at his hands. "And my body is so heavy. And it's so hot, and it's difficult to breathe." He looks up into the clock and dome overhead. Goku explains, "When the door is shut, we are completely isolated from the outside world. We can't feel the ki of Cell and Vegeta." Gohan, "Hmm?" He concentrates for a moment and finally notices that. "Right. I can't feel anything." Goku puts his hand on his son's shoulder. "That's the bathroom and toilet," he points as he speaks. He leads Gohan off to another side of the living area that's stacked with jars. "This is the food storage room with enough food for a year." Gohan, "Even for Father, who eats like a horse, there'll be no problem." Goku, "Right. Gohan... There's also other daily necessity." Gohan, "I can concentrate on the practice here, right?" Goku, "Just go outside and take a look. You'll understand why I was only able to last a month here when I was small." Gohan walks out into the large, open area and his eyes go wide. "What's this all about? Though this is a room, it's so spacious, and it's empty." Goku joins his son outside. "It's as spacious as the Earth." Gohan, "Wow..." The "camera" zooms out, showing just how small the living area is in comparison to the rest of the area around it.

Rocks and debris fly up against a red background. Another island blast from Cell. A semi-large city goes up with the island. "Come out now. It must be one of the islands around here." The remains of the island sink into the ocean. "They know it's useless, even if they dive into the sea. Anyway, I must destroy all these islands." He jumps around in the sky, throwing more red ki blasts at random islands. Seven more islands explode and are shown from above. Cell continues his rampage, firing blasts at every island in sight. The area becomes a mass of red dome-shaped blasts. Islands adjacent to the Artificial Humans' island explode. The force of the blast pushes large boulders across the ground and uproots trees. Debris flies through the air, nearly hitting Number 18. She acts instinctively, but Number 16 holds her back. "Don't attack. You'll let Cell find you." Cell, "Damn it!" He screams and unleashes another barrage of ki blasts on another cluster of islands. Islands all around the Artificial Humans explode. Number 18, "He's finally come to the island next to ours!" Number 16, "Stay calm. Cell is just watching the things coming out of the islands. If we wait quietly like this, you'll be saved."

Cell stares down below him at the sea of red he has created. Number 18 shields herself from more dust and debris. Finally, only one island is left. Cell looks down at it. "That is the only remaining island. Only one left." He laughs and vanishes. Number 18 brushes her hair back. She gasps when Cell reappears above their island. Number 16, "Stay calm. Hold on until the very last. If you're absorbed, everything's over." Cell sticks his arm out. "Come out now, Number 18." The blast begins to form in his hand. Number 18 shields herself from the impending explosion. Cell smiles and is about to release his blast when suddenly, he notices an "interference" of sorts behind him and spins around.

Super Saiya-jin Vegeta flies up to Cell. Cell stares at him in surprise. Vegeta laughs. "You're...Vegeta." Vegeta, "You're Cell? Let's land." Number 18 and Number 16 watch the developments from their seat on the island. Cell and Vegeta land on a ledge near the Artificial Humans, and Number 18 runs out to watch the battle, staying behind a tree and watching from a distance to conceal herself. "Vegeta?" Vegeta smiles at Cell.

The two stare at each other in silence. The view moves from Vegeta's feet up, then over to Cell. Cell smiles. "What has brought you here? You're not telling me you want to beat me, are you?" Vegeta, "I'm not here to beat you, but to destroy you." He raises a hand to about breast-height, then clenches it into a fist. "I'll tear you into pieces." Cell laughs. "You'll..." He laughs some more. "That's funny." Vegeta, "My cells are used by a monster as ugly as you. That's really a shock to me. We must do something about it." Cell's tail flies around behind him. "They're used by me, the best in the universe. You should feel proud." Vegeta, "Monster, you're wrong. The best in the universe is not you. It's the prince of the Saiya-jin, Vegeta." Number 18, "Impossible. You weren't even able to match me. How can you try to beat Cell?" Vegeta smiles and widens his stance. Cell smiles back, but his smile suddenly fades and he looks into the sky behind Vegeta.

Mirai Trunks stops above the soon-to-be battleground. He lands behind Vegeta, near the edge of the island. Cell, "Trunks? I feel differently now." Cell glares silently at Cell. "Hmph. It's the same, no matter how many of you come. I can wait until more of you come." Vegeta, "He's just here to watch. I can bury you just by myself." Cell, "What's that? By yourself?" Vegeta, "That's right. Are you unhappy?" Cell laughs. "I'm not unhappy, just shocked at how naive you are." Number 18, "Cell is right. Vegeta won't win, no matter what. But Number 16..." She turns back to him. "...Maybe it's our opportunity to escape now. Right, Number 16?" Number 16, "Wait a minute. Let's escape after they've started fighting. But it's really strange. Vegeta's fighting force has gone up a lot since before." Number 18, "No... In such a short time, he can't possibly change anything." She looks back at Vegeta. "I can't see how he's gotten more powerful."

Vegeta smiles at Cell, Cell smiles back. "Cell, watch it. I'm going to make that annoying smile leave your face." Cell chuckles. Vegeta hunches over slightly. His aura jumps up around him and he screams as his ki begins to go up. Vegeta's aura expands around him. "Father wants the ki to go up all the way instantly." The screaming grows steadily louder. His aura itself seems to gather a strength of its own that's difficult to describe in words.

Piccolo, "It's started. The ki keeps going up." Ten is shocked. "It's an astonishing ki..." Piccolo walks up to the edge of God's Shrine. His cape and turban suddenly appear on him. "Vegeta, show me. Show me the power which excels Super Saiya-jin."

Gohan stares wide-eyed at...nothing. He looks around at the area. Goku, "Watch out." Gohan turns around. "Don't run too far out or you'll get lost and die." Gohan, "Okay..." Goku, "The temperature ranges from 50 to -40 degrees. The air is 1/4 as thin as that on the Earth. The gravity is ten times higher. It's a world of whiteness. You must be very careful." Gohan, "We have to stay here for one year?" Goku puts his hand on Gohan's shoulder. Gohan looks up at him. "Gohan, let's start our practice. We're not here to play. Goku walks out from the living area, down the stairs that lead to the white floor. Gohan follows, but falls to his knees when he steps off the last step. Goku, "Well? It's hard, isn't it?" Gohan looks up at him. "You've never received training in gravity." Gohan struggles up to his feet. "You'll get used to it very soon." Gohan, "Yes." Even without having trained at all yet, Gohan's already winded. "First of all, Gohan, I'll make you become a Super Saiya-jin." Gohan, "Super Saiya-jin?" Goku, "Yeah." Gohan, "Can I become a Super Saiya-jin?" Goku, "Of course. You have the blood of the Saiya-jin, too. Anyway, if you don't become a Super Saiya-jin, we can't start the real practice." Gohan, "But maybe I'll be a hindrance to your practice." Goku, "Maybe only at the beginning." He walks up to the suddenly sullen Gohan. He crouches down and puts his hands on Gohan's shoulders. "But Gohan, if you become a Super Saiya-jin, you can be my training partner. You can help me a lot. You're my son. You must have confidence. Understand?" Gohan looks up at him with a smile. "Yes!" Son Goku stands up. "Okay. Of course, I hope I can have a power higher than Super Saiya-jin. I want to be stronger than everybody. But Gohan, I also want you to be better than me." That one surprises Gohan. "Me, better than you?" Goku, "Yes. This is my ideal. I'm sure you can do it." Gohan, "Can I? Trunks-san said that I'll become a Super Saiya-jin in the future and will be killed by the Artificial Humans." Goku, "What? Everything has changed a lot from Trunks' future. I'm still alive. Besides, the me who's dead in the future isn't practicing here now." He puts his hand on Gohan's head and ruffles his hair. Gohan, "Right..." Goku, "You'll make your own decision." Gohan, "Father, I'd like to learn from you." Goku, "Alright, that's it. I'm harsher than Piccolo. You should be ready for that." Gohan, "Right!"

Vegeta's ki continues to rise. The ocean around the island becomes choppy, and small bursts of electricity jump out from time to time around Vegeta's aura. Cell smiles at Vegeta, still unafraid. Trunks watches silently. Vegeta's aura suddenly expands around him, jumping out even further than before. Piccolo, "No way. His ki is still going up?" The island begins to break apart. Cell begins to get worried. Number 16 and Number 18 are astounded. "How come? Vegeta has that kind of power? It's really unbelievable." As usual, Number 16 is silent. Vegeta's muscles begin to grow. His arms nearly double in width. His legs follow quickly thereafter. When the lower area of his legs, including his feet, experience the muscle growth, the land underneath his feet cracks and is depressed. Cell is really getting worried, but more than worried, he's shocked. Vegeta's power up reaches its climax. He screams and his golden aura explodes outward, bathing the entire area in yellow light.

Piccolo stares down at the Earth. "Practicing in the Room of Spirit and Time can obtain that kind of power?" Tenshinhan watches in silence, amazed. Bulma walks out toward them. "What's the matter? What's up with Vegeta? Is Trunks alright?" Silence is all the answer that she gets.

Number 18 stares out at the dust cloud surrounding the powered up Vegeta. "How did this happen?!" Trunks, "He's really excelled Super Saiya-jin." Cell stares in astonishment at Vegeta as the cloud clears. Vegeta lets out a long sigh. They stare at each other, Cell frightened and Vegeta smiling. Finally, Vegeta jumps forward. Cell cries out as Vegeta makes contact with Cell's abdomen. Number 18 and Number 16 are quite simply dumbfounded by his strength. Cell stares down in amazement, pain, and fear at Vegeta, whose fist still resides in Cell's stomach. Vegeta looks up at him and smiles.
