c102: Cell Is Swallowed!
"Son Goku, Vegeta perish!"
Cell let out a malicious laugh as a massive, dark-purple energy sphere gathered in his palm, crackling with corrupted ki infused by the Demon God's power. Without hesitation, he launched the devastating blast toward the injured Saiyans.
"Dad!" Son Gohan cried out in alarm. Golden light flared around him as he transformed into a Super Saiyan, prepared to intercept the attack but someone was even faster.
It was Li Xu.
Boom!
Golden lightning erupted as Li Xu transformed into Super Saiyan. With one explosive punch, he smashed the energy sphere skyward before it could reach Goku and Vegeta.
After a brief silence, a thunderous explosion echoed in the skies. A massive mushroom cloud bloomed in the distance, and the shockwave sent a tempest of wind across the land. The earth trembled beneath their feet as if judgment had arrived.
Meanwhile, Goku and Vegeta struggled to their feet. Both had reverted from Super Saiyan, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, their breathing labored.
"Li Xu, thanks a ton!" Goku said gratefully, steadying himself.
"Leave Cell to me," Li Xu said calmly, waving a hand to keep them back.
"Tch!" Vegeta scowled, clearly frustrated but forced to concede. "That damn Cell's demonic power... we can't match him now." He reluctantly backed off.
"Li Xu, if you're so eager to die, don't blame me for what happens next!" Cell sneered arrogantly, dark energy surging around him in thick pulses.
Boom!
Before Cell could react, Li Xu vanished and in the next instant, reappeared directly in front of him. With a clean, high-speed punch to the gut, he sent Cell reeling, unable to even register the movement.
"What speed!" Goku gasped in shock. "I didn't see any signs of Instant Transmission… That was pure speed!"
Even Android 21's eyes narrowed slightly. Her expression changed briefly, revealing surprise though she quickly masked it.
"H-How...?" Cell stammered, stunned and frozen. He didn't even feel the pain at first his mind couldn't process the attack.
"You're a joke, Cell," Li Xu said coldly. "A puppet with delusions of grandeur. I could crush you any time I wanted."
"You bastard!"
Furious, Cell lunged, throwing a furious barrage of punches and kicks each strike charged with corrupted ki but none landed. Li Xu slipped through the flurry effortlessly, not even letting Cell brush his clothing.
"Incredible... Li Xu's completely untouchable," Android 17 muttered in disbelief, swallowing hard.
Then, turning to 18, he added slyly, "If you miss this chance, you'll regret it. Guys like him don't come around twice."
"Ugh, you're such a pest!" 18 snapped, her cheeks faintly pink. She didn't answer the question lingering in her own mind.
Boom!
As Cell continued his wild assault, Li Xu finally yawned, as though bored, and slammed a brutal punch into Cell's abdomen.
Cell's entire body froze mid-motion. His limbs went stiff, his eyes bulged and his corrupted energy briefly flickered.
Immediately afterward, Li Xu spun with precise control and swept his leg outward again. The powerful roundhouse kick struck Cell cleanly, launching him through the air and slamming him into the ground right at the feet of Android 21.
Bang!
The ground split like shattered glass, forming a web of deep cracks as Cell's body cratered into the earth.
"Now it's our turn." Li Xu's eyes fell on Android 21, his tone calm but expectant. He was curious to see how powerful she truly was.
"Hehe, how fascinating this is." Android 21 chuckled lightly.
Her appearance was refined and deceptively gentle chestnut-brown hair, black-rimmed glasses, a pristine white lab coat, and a slender figure. Visually, she could've passed for a researcher like Bulma, or even resembled Android 18 in stature.
But Li Xu wasn't interested in her for superficial reasons. He understood her origin: Android 21 was modeled after Dr. Gero's wife, using a combination of human DNA and the genetic material of powerful warriors. In essence, she was a perfected synthesis of Gero's legacy, surpassing even Cell.
Suddenly, 21 made her move not by attacking Li Xu, but by firing a strange pink beam at the downed Cell. In a surreal transformation, Cell was turned into a piece of chocolate, and without hesitation, she consumed him.
"She ate Cell!" Goku exclaimed, eyes wide with disbelief.
"This is just like Majin Buu!" Li Xu muttered under his breath. Android 21 indeed possessed Majin Buu's DNA, along with many of his uncanny abilities.
"Let's test your strength then!"
Li Xu surged forward, accelerating faster than the eye could follow. In an instant, he appeared before Android 21 and delivered a powerful straight punch, sending her flying backward.
Bang!
Her body smashed into a boulder, the impact blasting dust into the air and obscuring her figure from view.
"Li Xu really doesn't hold back no mercy for beauty," Android 17 muttered with a playful smirk.
"She's the enemy. What kind of fool hesitates against a threat?" Android 18 snapped, shooting 17 a glare.
"Sister, you're defending your future brother-in-law pretty fiercely," 17 teased, elbowing her lightly.
"Brother-in-law? They're already married. And they have two kids," 18 replied, her voice softening slightly.
"Married or not, there's no rule against sharing a husband." 17 grinned wickedly.
As the dust finally settled, Android 21 stood unharmed. Her lab coat billowed gently in the breeze. She looked pristine not a scratch on her, as if Li Xu's strike had been nothing but a breeze.
"That Buu-like resilience... this is going to be annoying." Li Xu frowned inwardly. With Buu's regeneration, brute force wouldn't be enough.
"Ding! New system mission: Eliminate Android 21. Reward: Perfect Cell Regeneration ability!"
The mechanical voice rang clearly in Li Xu's mind.
"Finally! This is a useful one." Li Xu's eyes lit up. Regenerative ability on par with or beyond Cell would be a huge asset.
"You're pretty sturdy." Li Xu narrowed his eyes at her.
"Hmph! And you're so rude look what you did to my outfit." Android 21 pouted. Her voice lilted with seductive charm, alluring and dangerous in equal measure.
"Tch! Seducing my husband right in front of me?" Bulma growled, her eye twitching.
"Mom, believe in Dad." Li Yi said loyally, patting her hand.
"Of course I believe in him," Bulma replied, folding her arms. "But that doesn't mean I'm not mad."
"Mom! Should I go help and punch her for you?" Bra asked eagerly, waving her tiny fists in mock sparring moves.
"You'd get flattened." Bulma rolled her eyes.
"I'm strong too!" Bra protested, indignant.
"Sis, that woman's way stronger than Cell. You can't even beat me, and she'd probably KO you in one move," Li Yi said frankly.
"You never sugarcoat anything! No wonder you don't have a girlfriend yet!" Bra huffed.
"Dad says strong fighters are chick magnets. When I grow up, girls will be lining up for me!" Li Yi grinned confidently.
"You two are too young to be talking about this nonsense!" Bulma shouted, exasperated.
"Mom, Aunt Panchy said that when you were in kindergarten, you had a crush on your teacher. When he didn't reciprocate, you skipped class for two days!" Bra said cheekily.
"That blabbermouth Panchy! Ruining my dignity in front of my kids!" Bulma turned red with fury.
"Don't worry, Mom. That is the image I've always had of you!" Bra added with mock reverence.
