Chi-Chi's Despair

Tap, tap, tap.

Cell walked toward the two Chi-Chis.

"Don't come any closer!"

"Goku, Goku, save me... Ah!"

The next moment,

a heavy punch slammed into his face.

Cell's head merely tilted from the blow. He slowly turned to look at the one who had struck him.

Super Saiyan Gohan!

"Huh? You recovered that quickly after being knocked unconscious? Then I'll deal with you first."

Cell's figure flickered, and he appeared beside Gohan, swinging a punch.

But Gohan blocked it with his forearm and countered with three rapid kicks, knocking Cell back several steps.

"Get away from them! Don't hurt my parents!" Gohan said coldly.

"You won't take the easy way out? Fine, then!"

Cell sneered. His body split into two, and they attacked from both sides.

Once the arrow left the bow, there was no turning back!

With unstoppable force, the two Cells struck from either side, knocking Gohan to the ground in an instant!

Cell grabbed Gohan by the throat. The mouth-like organ on his back reached toward him.

"Then I'll start with you. I'll absorb you!"

"No!!"

Seeing this, Chi-Chi and Future Chi-Chi panicked. Forgetting how terrifying Cell was, the two helpless women rushed up to him and pounded on him with their fists.

"Let go of Gohan!! I'll never forgive you!"

"If you want someone, take me! Don't go after my child!"

"You piece of trash! Picking on a kid is all you can do! Put my Gohan down!"

"Ahhhhhh!!"

Cell barely felt their attacks, like little more than tickles. Their cries grated on him, and irritation rose within him. His face twisted with impatience.

"Since you came right to me, don't blame me for what happens!"

Smack!

Cell flung the limp Gohan in his hand to the ground.

He grabbed both Chi-Chis by the neck, one in each hand, and lifted them up.

Chi-Chi immediately struggled, beating at Cell with her hands and feet.

But it was useless.

Watching them squirm, Cell let out a sinister laugh.

"Go on, keep screaming! Why'd you stop?"

Chi-Chi felt herself choking. The world before her eyes grew more and more blurred.

She gradually stopped struggling. With difficulty, she turned her head and looked at Goku and her child, tears of sorrow falling from her eyes.

"Goku, Gohan... My husband, my son, I might... be going on ahead..."

Future Chi-Chi was looking at Goku too, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face.

"I'm already grateful I got to come back and be with Goku and Gohan, but... why is it so hard to leave them?"

"I... I want to stay with you forever..."

Cell looked at the two women, his expression growing more and more deranged.

"Ha ha ha! Ga ha ha! Heh heh heh!"

"I just love watching scenes like this, where loved ones are torn apart."

Then his face contorted, and he grinned viciously. "You're going to be fertilizer for me!"

The organ on his tail reached toward them, ready to absorb the two women.

Gohan lay weakly on the ground, badly injured and unable to move.

Seeing that Cell was about to kill his mother, he roared, "No!! Stop! You damn bastard, I said stop!!!"

Cell glanced over and chuckled.

"Don't worry. I'll absorb your mom first, then you, and finally your dad!"

Gohan's eyes blazed with fury!

Cell's organ suddenly shot forward, about to pierce them, when a sudden change occurred!

Boom!!

An immense power erupted!!

A hand seized Cell's organ.

A cold voice sounded beside Cell.

"Who gave you permission to hurt my family!"

Cell turned to look.

Golden hair, green eyes, a face cold as ice!

Goku!
