I looked at Piccolo and back at the thing that he was against. I chose to make a joke to lighten the mood and my anger. "So I see you lost some weight Piccolo."
He looked at me briefly, "Har Har."
The thing smiled, "I like you, even before your death you choose comedy. However I think you need a refresher course, since you weren't here for the first lessen."
The bastard's tail lunged forward and I ducked out of the way. I swung down at it, but it was right back where it started. Piccolo spoke, "Good dodge, he drinks people."
"That's gross."
The thing shrugged, "Well to be fair I am hardly perfect yet."
I raised an eyebrow and Piccolo gave a shrug, "His name is Cell he wants to eat 17 and 18. So good thing you killed them. Otherwise the bastard would be hell to deal with." Piccolo grabbed his withered arm and ripped it off with a grunt. Second later he regenerated it.
Cell apparently just smiled. It seemed he wouldn't take Piccolo's word that they were dead. They of course weren't, but if we could undermine him in some way. It was all the better.
"Are you two done giving each other signals?"
Cell was urging us forward. Sadly it was working as it was ticking at my already burned nerves. I analyzed Cell with some scrutiny. He was a rather short cicada looking creature, however looking at his eyes and arms I could tell it had some serious gene splicing.
Cell frowned, "look I am giving you the first mo-"
"HELIX THRASHER! SPECIAL BEAM MACHINE GUN!"
We both begun gunning him down with our attacks. His tail lurched out of the dust and Piccolo spun out of the way. He grabbed Cell's tail and I spun towards Cell's head.
"Black blade."
My blade of ki sliced through Cell, however he dodged. making me only cut through his... uh ears?
Cell stumbled back grunting in pain and muttering, suddenly though a flash of light blinded me. I realized he likely muttered solar flare, I backed of just before Piccolo's explosion wave came from Cell.
Shaking off the disorientation, "So you can steal techniques."
Cell smiled, "I prefer the term trading."
My eyes blinked as I watched Cell regenerate. "How the fuck."
His regeneration wasn't like Piccolo's it wasn't all at once. Cell smirked and Piccolo had the same stunned face I did. Cell gave a shrug, "What can I say, I have like so many Dads. Papa Piccolo gave me regeneration while the the alien's Gero kidnapped made it that much better. I think they were called... sayians."
I frowned, are you fucking kidding me. Cell saw my look of utter disappointment and he smiled, "What? There was more than just Sayians. Nonetheless I'd say Gero made about 30% of my DNA Sayian. Though he had a rather unique taste in... shape."
His words scratched in my ears. Piccolo had a decent Idea on how combat based the sayians were. I had told him in chunks more or less, but the real problem was me.
Cell's ki was very pure and un-altered, but it had a tinge of a black glow. A sign that indicated he had some kind of level of my ki control. Cell was clearly hiding his strength and he simply wanted to play with us.
Piccolo sent a telepathic message. "15 minutes, we got 15 minutes to hold out. Then we can jump him with the others."
I made no confirmation and only ground my fingers into my hands. I yelled, "DIE YOU BASTARD! FINAL FINISHER!"
Cell's eyes waivered and he dashed out of the wave right into Piccolo who blasted Cell back with a light grenade. A technique he created during our recent sparring. It worked fine, but I gave a glance and he nodded.
"KAMEHAME-" Cell eyes darted back to me and he frowned, "You trying to kill little old me now? Are you ang-"
HA. Bulsagari."
The Cell dodged the Kamehameha but a large margin, but the small orb that followed it he barely noticed. He laughed and flicked his hand into it. Except the moment his hand connected it disappeared.
Cell screamed, "AH SHIT! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK! I NEEDED THAT HAND. SPECIAL BEAM CAN-"
"Special beam cannon." Piccolo blasted him Cell was fast too fast actually, and Piccolo missed. Cell spoke again, "Okay now I am getting annoyed." He flashed with speed I couldn't match and Piccolo eyes widened as Cell batted him into building. I lost sight of Piccolo and I frowned.
Cell turned to me and smiled, "Now how abou-"
"Light ender!"
With a flash and deafening roar Cell's upper half was obliterated. I stumbled too much energy lost. I dropped to my knees and then fell forward. My heart was burning and I looked up. Cell was regenrating. I sighed, So little energy left.
I felt my heart burn more, but as it burned I realize it was actually that lump of ki I couldn't figure out. The lump of ki i gained after eating the tree of might. I wodnered if I could use it.

I can't believe I ran. I ran and stole some guy's car. That monster drank her. He drank Eins friend! "HOW THE FUCK DO YOU DRINK SOMEONE!"
I laughed as i slammed my fist into the steering wheel making it honk. I kept driving though, I shook my head. Here I thought Earth was safe. Nope apparently some douche canoe had a super hate boner for some old guy.
I felt bad, I felt sick. "Come on Cheelai! You got this, you can figure something out. Find Eins or one of his friends and maybe, jus- OH SHIT!"
Some black haired twink dropped in front of the car and destroyed it. I got thrown out of the vechile, I was gonna die in a car crash so unfair!
"You okay?"
I blinked as a blonde haired woman held me in her arms and I sighed. "Oh thank goodness."
The guy who caused me to crash spoke. "I didn't expect her to swerve. Though green skin and white hair, I'll be honest I don't think she's human."
The girl rolled her eyes, "He's 17, I am 18. Can you tell us what is happening in West City?"
My wild ride of emotion wasn't done yet apparently. As I came across the two people I didn't want to find. "S-S-Some Cicada looking guy is drinking people! He drank my new friends, he is drinking everyone with his fucking tail! I ran and ran r-r-ran! Please don't hurt me."
18 patted my hair, "I like your style you have good taste in hair cuts. 17 I think that kid was right. You think he's there now?"
I breathed out at 18's words it seemed I was spared. I looked over at 17 who shrugged, "That guy totally would try and fight a cicada man. Should we help him and then blackmail him into helping us?"
I looked back at 18, "I doubt we need to blackmail him."
17 smiled, "So we bring her with us or?"
At his words I felt my heart give and I felt myself go limp. The last thing I heard was 17 speak, "Oops, we didn't even get her name."
