Goku watched Chen anxiously. "Goku!" Chen had already sensed it, but he hadn't said anything. "That's right! Cell's ki has suddenly weakened. I don't know who did it, but keep up the good work!"
No. 16 reattached his arm. The three of them were astonished by the powerful ki, and No. 17 and No. 18 were both stunned. "He's actually that strong, that No. 16!"
No. 16's attack power had truly taken No. 17 by surprise. No. 18 also found it incredible. "Amazing..." Just then, No. 16 looked at him. "Why are you still here? Didn't I tell you to run, No. 18?"
But No. 17 had let out a sigh of relief. "It's over, right? You already finished him off!" "He's not dead. He's injured, but that attack wasn't enough to kill him. No. 17, you should take this chance to escape, too."
No. 16 was still extremely tense, but No. 17 had stopped caring. "Escape? Don't make me laugh. I've suffered so much—I can't just leave without getting even, can I? He's already injured, isn't he? Let me finish him off myself."
No. 17 was stubborn and wouldn't listen to anyone else. He'd been created with the rebellious attitude of a teenage boy. After Cell had just beaten him so brutally, how could he simply let it go?
No. 17 angrily shouted Cell's name. "Come out, you damn monster! What's wrong? Weren't you going to absorb me? I won't run or hide. I'll stay right here until I kill you!"
At that moment, a pair of red eyes slowly rose from the freshly blasted crater behind No. 17. They belonged to Cell, whose fury had turned to murderous rage.
Tien Shinhan saw what was happening and shouted anxiously at No. 17. "No. 17, Cell is behind you!" No.
