(Cell-POV)
'They keep on coming…' he hadn't much else in thought, finding himself poised against a somewhat familiar ragtag group of enemies, Piccolo being the only one he remembered though the sight on that hill of those others was something to recall. The other fighters, two demons, another alien that looked like a Namekian and a Saiyan that defied the others in body mass, that of his muscled form and some golden colored lizard with wings… Cell was contemplating in retreating from the world entirely, perhaps blow it from high orbit and then blast off from the momentum from a 'Kame Hame Wave'. he still had use of 'Instant Transmission' to also consider, though he seen that the other fight nearby had ended, he witnessed from the corner of his gaze that of the dragon balls falling to the ground.
'Forget those dragon balls… it was those remains that made me pause.' Cell glared at the crater, noticing that that lower half of the body was not twitching as fast as Cell could, in regenerating but there was some regenerating happening, nevertheless. He eyed that body for a bit, though concentrating on surviving the relentless onslaught poised from the six warriors constantly locked in their offensives, as Cell was delegated to just defending what he could, Cell though felt himself grow that much stronger in small trickles as he healed, not as much as damage as was inflicted upon him but everything helped.
'I need mass to increase my rejuvenation, else I'm going to drain my reserves in healing! That or I'm going to become empowered from these seven, the pain is aggravating… How dare they bring me to this level! Deflecting their attacks, defending them off, taking their attacks- No! Enough, I must take the remains of that great warriors body!
"'Solar Flare' you damnable fools!' Cells tail elongated already, his wingspan spread out as he placed one finger upon his forehead, reappearing in the crater nearby while his tail then stretched to accommodate the sizable lower half, there was more wiggle on the corpse showing that whoever this was, they were beginning to regrow their body back
"Haha! Whoever you are my friend, an enemy of my enemies is my ally, but you're better off in allowing my obtaining further perfection! Do not despair unknown warrior, yours is the energy I need to close in the gap against these seven and then their friends… including Goku, Vegeta… Gohan and Kron." his tail already absorbing the remnants of the body, and then swallowed it whole… even with that half a body… he felt that power begin to be added to his own, absorbing into his body though no change outward at least, was beginning to take shape… Cell bent down in a way to charge his power, already feeling the overwhelming flow of Ki beginning to overwhelm him, he let it flow in a increasingly larger Ki aura that knocked back the large Saiyan and Sixteen, already near to strike at him when his energy enshrouded him in a defensive sphere, cackling with discharging 'Super Saiyan' energy, the wisps annoyingly loud. He shouted in place, his voice hoarse as he continued to adjust to the change in power, feeling his body bulk up in size which was now the first physical change upon his body. His feet then his arms, all pieces of him took to this bulking up as his skin then turned a red instead of green, the second physical change erupting upon his body.
The sphere continued to be hammered against, five of the seven continued to try their luck, though the protective glowing red colored sphere which was Cells energy continued to grow larger, rotating fiercely as bolts of yellow energy wisps increasingly struck randomly around that sphere, the largest concentration of these wisps randomly sparking from around Cell himself. The Crater that continued to be created along with his high volume of power grew a bit more before stopping, he gave one last hoarse shout, as blind light then struck the entire battlefield in an large way.
'T-That woman who placed that mask upon me, managed to control me… once I deal with my old enemies here, I'll track her down and absorb that bitch… the audacity to control me! Cell!'
(Vegeta-POV)
They separated, though Vegeta nudged Kakarot to keep that earring encase it was needed, they separated as Vegeta was taken by the mouth, by her mouth… his Raven… they parted quickly after, for the energy that begun to rise from the last fight here, that Cell… he managed to get away from those seven dunderheads, who then-
"-Kakarot, I thought we destroyed Omega completely! How did a piece of him manage to survive our last attack! Sloppy work was probably to due to your side of the fusion." Vegeta shouted in alarm, now seeing where Cell was getting his power up… Though Cell's new power, while flashy, it didn't look like he got that much… comparing Vegito with Cell, he was still weaker than that fusion warrior of theirs, and Cumber, Sixteen, Dabura, Piccolo, Mira and the other two… a strange green alien and a shadow dragon who figured he'd switch sides… Vegeta glared at the dragon but didn't decide anything to do with him as of now, figuring that Cell needed to be destroyed before he obtained even greater power… he and Kakarot should join that fight now.
"Forget that fusion Kakarot, will just jump in and join the beating that the others are easily giving to that should-be dead bastard!" he said as Kakarot approached with that Potara earring in hand, Vegeta already pocketing his own.
"Right then, though look at them… seven against one isn't exactly fair but yeah… I understand the threat Cell poses. Wonder- what is happening over that way!" Kakarot turned, as Vegeta and Raven did so too, Yamcha blinking as a buffoon he was while Chiaotzu and Majin Buu watched the battle happening with Cell, Gohan also sensing what was happening.
"Hmm… Tien's power, its powered up in a sudden sort of way… kind of like our way of telling each other when one of us has found one of the shadow dragons. Could be trouble. Gohan, you and I will go and investigate Tien and the others. Majin Buu… you come too, we could use someone as strong as you-"
"-Buu go too, Buu eat on way. Eat then Buu fight-" Vegeta heard them speak a little more, though their voices softened the further they got, Kakarot, Gohan and Majin Buu already in the distance now.
(D)Towa-POV)
Cell was no longer under her control and she was annoyed to find that Cell went to Earth, though as she did sent him to the northern quadrant of the galaxy, before she lost control of him she was able to see through his eyes, seeing how stronger her enemies had gotten and by far, this timeline was so far out of order that, the earthlings were much stronger than their counterparts in other timelines she and Mira went to in the past for her master.
"Annoying, but expected to lose a pawn. I shan't take that one back, he can stay in the Kai's hell." she continued on with careful modifications, in silence.
(Bulma-POV)
She'd entertained guests before but these two were something else, though in hindsight she was certain that Earth was safe, from being destroyed by Beerus, his attitude or otherwise, they loved the meals she's prepared for them and by prepared, she meant from her personal chef, the guy being exceptionally paid by her to feed the ragtag army of Kron's kids, and saved her and the other woman time from doing it, except for Pyrrha, Winter and Zangya who had their own reasons for not using her star chefs services.
Thinking of Kron, she'd asked these two to go get him back, but they were waiting for someone, Whis being more kind as to explain why Lord Beerus hadn't done so. It was that Towa… the one that killed or absorbed the nicer version, that bitch version which had her husband as some kind of mind slave or something, sounded ridiculous to Bulma but she heard that it was true from lord Whis. She has a team of world renowned chefs at her beck and call… she went to indulge in her favorite meal and these two… Beerus in particular, thought she was holding off in giving them the best she had to offer! Which is how she sat and thought about stuff, almost brooding though she wouldn't openly do so in front of them, while they at her personal supply of instant ramen… At least she still had her personal supply of strawberries hidden away in her capsule.
"Ah, that is good broth and the noodles… oh, heavenly."
"You're telling me Whis, this is much better than the rest of the planets food, well except for the puddings and ice cream… and cookies." Beerus and Whis chatted away, their bowls extra large and containing as much as five instant ramen joined together, all beef flavored as she liked. They were eating her out of her stock while they saved up some for… guests Whis had said, She went out and made sure to order more, for Kron also liked ramen, though he liked it made by her chefs then the cheap kind…
"My, those battles out there seem to be wrapping up, though now that I say that, there might be another fight coming right after another. To think, that the earths dragon balls had a negative energy overload which resorted in them creating beings of destruction, dragons… None of them are gods though it would have been fun to fight a dragon god." Beerus spoke up through engulfing at a Saiyan rate, greatly enjoying his ramen, as Whis, more moderate and eating with greater table manners than his lord, replied while idly wiping away at his mouth with a then appearing napkin.
"Yes my lord, seems that things should wrap up soon enough. Lord Champ and my sister, Vados should arrive soon and taste your gift to them, your bragging about having the more better universe in your charge, will continue I assume with another win for you."
"Hmph, that is right, Champa can go scamper back to his universe a loser. I'll then lead those guys who trained under you and in which I used as punching bags, to track down that woman and end her. Then I suppose, will secure the other one who'd been capable a fighter and punching bag as well. Seems we owe him for having a well trained wife that has this great a dish in his diet. Is why I'm making sure this place remains a permanent fixture in the universe. I'll have to tell that little monkey Frieza to not destroy this planet, as well." Bulma shuddered at the mention of that guy, he was definitely as ugly as described which was ironic, when she heard what Frieza calls the Saiyan's.
She ate her own meal, prepared by her chefs as she sat there, her own table while they chatted away, until she heard one of her chefs stammer in shock, a pan falling to the ground. She turned upwards, half chewing her mouthful to see two new figures… and what figure they were, one which looked like lord Beerus, though rotund and the other, looked similar to Whis… only in skin tone and hair color for this was a well-endowed woman-
"-My what naughty thoughts this one has of me, ogling me with a mouthful. A friend of yours Whis, its strange the friends you keep." she said in a tone that seemed borderline neutral, with a tinge of jovialness to it, she and the rotund one approached the table of lord Whis and lord Beerus, then taking their own seats. As they sat, Beerus flicked his fingers, speaking up.
"Those eggs you gave we're nothing, compared to this I'm about to offer you. I assume, I win-"
"-Will see Beerus, will see…" the fat-
"-My, your friend has a loud mind. Allow me to introduce my lord, of whom I serve. Lord Champa here, and I am merely his retainer. You may call me Vados-"
"-Vados, what is that smell!" the named Champa slammed a hand onto the table, his mouth salivating at the smell of the approaching ramen bowl, another large bowls the same size as Whis and Beerus own.
"Also Beerus, you realize this planet is on the cusp of annihilation, what with the energy being sensed on this world…" Champa asked Beerus, but his gaze continued to hone in on his meal, Beerus shrugging in reply, his bowl finally done as he flicked his fingers once again, Bulma's chefs already readying him another bowl.
"Ah, don't breath on me, your breath stinks. We've dealt with a more dangerous threat the other day, these guys will wrap up their fighting in time for dinner tomorrow which is when I'll eat here once more. You… I'd expect you'll be heading back to your universe six."
"Perhaps… perhaps I'll even search out for the earth in my universe, and eat better than you'll do tomorrow. Vados, get me the exact location of this planet earth, though back home." Champa smirked, looking back at his meal and digging in, as the woman lightly tapped her staff upon the floor, Bulma continuing to eat as she watched them, thinking also about the running costs of rebuilding West city. With luck, they will be capable of wishing back everyone who has been killed by evil on Earth and Namek, then fix this mess… Also she reckoned, that Dende should do an update, with his magical abilities, upon the earths dragon balls, fix the negative energy slow expel rate and allow them to be used more regularly-
"-Here is Earth Lord Champa, in universe six. As you can see however… uh, well… it is a desolate wasteland, I suppose that in our universe the life on the planet were either wiped out by another race or, they… did it to themselves, they really are quite destructive from what I can sense, you know." Vados staff shown a holo-image like display of the earth, though this earth looked green and dead, Champa looked annoyed at this as Beerus cackled, fixed to his own bowl. Then Vados was also offered her own bowl, Bulma sighed internally, seeing more of her favorite dish given out.
"Well then, you'll have to find something else to occupy your time with, like searching for another place to eat food as good as this, I'll be visiting earth a lot more and indulging myself. Everything I could ever want, this planet has been so far, able to fulfil every craving I've had and even taught me about even more good food types-"
"-B-Beerus you bastard, don't try and upstage me with that, rubbing it in that I've got a dead version of this planet. I've got a clean, fair plan for you. Because you of all people do not deserve such a place… in where the palette is… fulfilled. No, Beerus! I challenge you to a contest."
"Hmm? but hang on punk, I want to know just why you've roaming around in my universe anyway? You coming here, visiting… we're gods of destruction, not idle tourists, family or not. Just what is your purpose prior to my total annihilation of that fool Moro I'd 'Hakai' to non-existence? And don't say that offering you gave to us on that backwater planet where I eradicated Moro was your purpose because if so, what a waste of time for you… and me." they glared at one another, with Champa's right fist cackling with purple energy for a moment… until he smirked, replying while wiping his face.
"That is because I've been looking for the Super Dragon balls see, and since they are scattered through both the seventh and the sixth universes, I've been painstakingly searching… both of our universes for them. I've currently gotten six out of seven of them, the fifth and sixth ones I found in the last two years while this last one… it has alluded me for a while."
"That is all well and good, and since I've nothing to gain from your contest you think I'd accept? But now that you've mentioned these super dragon balls… I'll wager you this contest for those six super dragon ball instead. I'll bet it against a years supply of the best quality food of earth, since your earth has been destroyed by its inhabitants, which as funny as that sounds, I'd be remiss to not mourn my brothers ticket to quality meals." Champa narrowed his gaze, shaking his head 'no' as he didn't like the sound of that Bulma thought, still keeping to herself for now and learning.
"I challenged you, I shall set the rules! I do not insist that we ourselves fight but instead, will each have uh… five contests, each chosen from our own universes. They will fight in our stead, in rounds where the winners of each fight go on, fighting until they lose or if possible, win the contest. The winner between us is the one with the fighters still able to fight by the rules chosen… Will need a neutral ground to go at it on, Though since your earth as of this moment is in a state of war, I'll send Vados back in say… uh, two weeks time while as the instigators, we on universe six shall arrange the battleground. How about it Beerus, get your house in order and will have a competition, the winner gets this earth and since you'll probably decline, I'll offer also the winner the six super dragon balls I've collected. What say you Beerus, I've already got three fighters in mind to fight against your own warriors…" Beerus, looked intrigued, Bulma finished finally with her meal as she stood, her chefs already taking her plates away as she approached lord Whis and uh, Bulma assumed lady was the term for her-
"-Indeed, Bulma is a curious sort, whose mind tends to wander to a font of things, among them her husband. He was taken prior to lord Beerus defeat of the one whose name was once Moro. Seems sister, that Lord Beerus and Lord Champa have come to an arrangement of sorts."
"Yes, two weeks I shall return to this planet earth, with Lord Champa's formal invitation to his contest, the six super dragon balls and this universes planet earth the ante to the winner. Lord Beerus, you consent to this challenge by lord Champa?" Beerus was in the process of itching the inside of his ear by this point, sighing contently though it looked as he flicked whatever he dug up from the inside of his ear towards Champa's bowl, earning his ire for Bulma suspected, he wasn't yet finished with his instant ramen. Beerus replied, smirking.
"With the super dragon balls upped for ante, yes, I shall consent. I've got five fighters in mind… though as your aware, planet earth is chock-full of them, I'd imagine I will have many trying their luck in being chosen.
"Lord Whis, you've all mentioned that this is the seventh universe, and that lord Champa here comes from the sixth universe. So that implies that there is at least, seven universes including this one, am I right in saying that it is very different to timelines and such." Bulma asked, finally finding herself asking, curious about their origins and hearing about these universes, she was thinking of the Trunks, her son from the alternate timeline and what he was doing now.
She, now learned that there were twelve universe from the explanation between Lady Vados and Lord Whis taking turns, explaining that as they put it, they were all paired up in a way as to have a pairing that for example, the sixth and seventh universes were paired up, because together they added up to the number thirteen, another example being universe one and twelfth or two and eleven… strange to her, though they explained it enough as to peak her interest. They also explained to her, while Beerus and Champa were served once more, that the seventh universe and the sixth were especially close to one another, which made Lord Champa and even Lord Beerus able to pass into each other's assigned universes with ease compared to any other universe of the others.
Suffice to say, Bulma got a lot of information from the two retainers, even asked to record them for the time she shared this news with the others, and that they really needed to 'clean house' and soon, for these occasional tremors they sat through, was especially nerve-wrecking, at least… her son and daughter were safe, learning to fight on the sacred world of the Kai's, with the other children of Kron and the others children as well.
'It's a good thing I'm here then; I'll have to relay this all to Goku, and the others. Hope they get back Kron, but this looks like another problem.
