Scene 1 – The Monster Appears
South City lies silent. Streets are littered with husks of people, their skin grey and lifeless. A sickly slurping sound echoes from an alleyway.
Piccolo lands beside Silver, both sensing the same horrifying ki.
> Piccolo: "It's not android energy. It's… mixed. Part Saiyan, part Namekian, part human—and something else I can't read."
Silver: "I can feel its mind. It's chaos and calculation in the same thought."
From the shadows crawls Cell, green carapace glistening, tail twitching. His voice is hoarse and hungry.
> Cell: "Namekian cells, psychic energy… perfect additions to my evolution."

Scene 2 – First Clash
Piccolo attacks first, fists flashing like lightning. The shockwaves blast through ruined buildings, but Cell absorbs every blow, his tail striking like a whip.
Silver lifts chunks of debris with psychokinesis, hurling them as telekinetic bullets.
Cell blocks with a shimmering energy field—then vanishes. He reappears behind Piccolo, driving his tail forward. Silver yanks Piccolo aside just in time, the stinger puncturing concrete instead of flesh.
> Silver: "He's learning our movements while we fight!"
Piccolo: "Then stop giving him time to think!"
They coordinate: Silver traps Cell in a psychic bind while Piccolo charges a full-power blast. The explosion tears through the city block, leaving a smoking crater.
When the dust clears, Cell's arm is missing—but it's already regenerating.
> Cell (smiling): "Thank you for the data."

Scene 3 – Piccolo's Power Unleashed
Piccolo removes his weighted cloak, ki crackling around him in emerald flame. Fused with Kami, his power dwarfs what Cell expected. Every punch now sends the creature skidding across the ground.
Cell counters by releasing a shockwave of stolen ki—energy signatures from Yamcha, Tien, and even fragments of Sonic's chaos aura collected from the battlefield residue of past fights.
> Piccolo (gritting teeth): "You're mimicking everyone!"
Cell: "Perfection requires samples."

Scene 4 – Silver's Stand
Silver pushes his psychic ability to the limit, freezing Cell mid-charge. The strain makes blood trickle from his nose.
> Silver: "Piccolo, now!"
Piccolo fires a Hellzone Grenade, hundreds of energy spheres surrounding Cell and detonating simultaneously. The shockwave levels half the city.
For a moment, it's over—until Cell's tail bursts from underground, piercing Silver's side. He's hurled through a wall, unconscious but alive.

Scene 5 – Retreat and Revelation
Realizing further fighting risks the planet, Piccolo disengages, teleporting beside the fallen Silver and retreating to a mountain ridge. His energy senses Cell regenerating again, moving west.
> Piccolo (breathing hard): "He's not complete. He's hunting the other androids… 17 and 18. Once he absorbs them, none of us will match him."
Silver clutches his wound, psychic energy flickering.
> Silver: "Then we stop him before he finds them. No matter what."
Piccolo looks to the horizon, jaw tight.
> Piccolo: "I'll tell the others. The real battle hasn't started yet."
The wind carries the faint echo of Cell's laughter—hungry, patient, and closer every second.
