There was absolutely no reaction. Even he was surprised. "Why didn't it explode?" Krillin told him, "Android 16! You... can't self-destruct anymore! I'm sorry, Doctor! Dr. Brief removed the bomb hidden inside you."
This was a huge blow to Android 16. On Kame House Island, Master Roshi asked Bulma, "Is that true, Bulma?" Bulma nodded.
"Th-then..." Bulma told Master Roshi about what had happened before, and recalled the past. Back then, she and her father had been examining Android 16!
"What's this? Bulma! Can you enlarge the scan near the heart?" Bulma's father stared at the computer screen, puzzled by what he saw. So Bulma enlarged the area around the heart.
The Red Ribbon Army's insignia was visible on the device. "It looks like a self-destruct device!" "And it's no ordinary bomb. It's powerful enough to blow up the Earth." "Really? Dr. Gero put something like that inside Android 16?"
"It was definitely meant to kill Son Goten!" "It must be his trump card! It's too dangerous. We should remove it!" Bulma and her father were extremely worried, so they ultimately removed it.
Bulma came back to the present. "After that, Dad took it out! He can't do it anymore!" Krillin shouted to Android 16, "Android 16! You can't self-destruct anymore!"
Hearing this devastating news, Android 16 was stunned, his face drained of color. Cell, on the other hand, was delighted. "What a shame, Android 16! Besides, I don't think a mere bomb could kill me."
With that, Cell broke free from Android 16's arms and fired a beam at him, sending him flying into the air. In an instant, he was blown to pieces. Everyone watched in terror as Cell walked over cheerfully and stepped on Android 16's shattered head.
"You were nothing but one of Dr. Gero's failures!"
