Android 17 looked at Cell, who had been cut in half, and burst out laughing. "Haha! You were so arrogant just now, but you still ended up dying at my hands."
Suddenly, Cell's leg moved. He kicked Android 17 in the face before he could defend himself, sending him flying. With a boom, Android 17 crashed into the mountainside, and a shower of rocks came tumbling down.
As if by magic, Cell's two halves joined back together. He was completely unharmed. Seeing that he was fine, Cell smiled. As expected, I have Piccolo's cells inside me. As long as I'm not blown to pieces, I can regenerate.
Android 17 covered his face and slowly got to his feet. "Damn you, you monster!"
He charged forward, but Cell knocked him to the ground with an elbow. Cell grabbed Android 17 by the collar and lifted him up. The tip of his tail had opened like a trumpet flower, ready to swallow Android 17.
Suddenly, Cell felt a large hand on his shoulder. He had only just turned around when Android 16's fist slammed into him, sending him flying.
Android 17 stared blankly at Android 16, who had stepped in to help him. I never thought the one who'd save me would be Android 16, who never says a word and whom I've been ordering around.
Android 16 tossed Android 17 behind him and said, "Hurry and escape with Android 18. I'll deal with this monster."
Lying on the ground, Android 17 said, "Android 16, you're no match for this monster."
Android 16 smiled faintly. "My analysis indicates that we're evenly matched."
Just then, Piccolo arrived. Seeing Android 17 and Android 18, he breathed a sigh of relief. "I made it in time."
Everyone nearby stared at Piccolo in astonishment. What was King Piccolo doing here? And what could he possibly do with his power?
Piccolo didn't care what anyone thought. A terrifying aura burst from his body as silver-white flames rose around him. Android 16 was shocked. "You're not Piccolo."
With a whoosh, Piccolo disappeared from everyone's sight. When he reappeared, his fist had already smashed into Cell, sending him flying. Cell was left completely dumbfounded. "What kind of speed is that?"
Android 17 and the others stared wide-eyed. What was going on today? It was as if the world they knew had changed completely.
Piccolo pressed his advantage, hurling Light Blasts at Cell one after another. Boom! Boom! Boom! When Cell emerged from the smoke, his aura had clearly weakened considerably.
Fear filled Cell's eyes. Why has Piccolo become so powerful? He's terrifyingly strong. I'm not even in the same league as him.
Piccolo grinned. "You're still alive? Good. Let's have some fun today." He charged forward, and to Cell, Piccolo seemed like a ferocious tiger pouncing on him.
Piccolo's charge was so swift that it sent Cell flying, and a mouthful of blood spilled from Cell's lips.
Cell was being beaten like a child when a figure suddenly appeared and stood in Piccolo's way.
He wore familiar clothes and had black eyes, orange-yellow eyebrows and hair, and blue skin. It was Bojack, whom Babidi had freed.
Bojack looked at Cell, who was covered in injuries. "Why did Lord Babidi send me to help such a loser?"
"Cell, hurry and absorb Android 17 and Android 18. I'll hold off this Namekian."
Hearing that the stranger had come to help him, Cell was overjoyed.
Piccolo looked at the unfamiliar man. "Who are you, and why are you helping this monster?"
Bojack looked at Piccolo, whose aura was immense. "Since when did Namekians become this powerful? I've been away for only a short while, and the whole world has changed. It's not that I want to help him. Lord Babidi gave me an order, so I don't have a choice."
"Babidi?" So he's that mastermind from before. Piccolo sensed a deep conspiracy at work.
Piccolo didn't want to waste any more time. His aura surged even higher, and the Earth began to tremble. Everyone nearby was too shocked to speak. How was this possible? This aura was so powerful it sent a chill down their spines.
Bojack's expression grew grave as well. He could tell that this Namekian was no ordinary opponent, unlike the weaklings he had encountered before.
Bojack got serious too, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body. It seemed to rival Piccolo's. A violent wind swirled around them.
It was already difficult for Cell and the others to even approach. At the Heavenly Realm, Vegeta and Trunks had been waiting for Yun Feng, Goku, and the others to come out. Feeling the two terrifying auras, they both stood up and turned toward their source.
Vegeta flew into a rage. "Damn it! Damn it! Those bastards! I can't believe so many people have surpassed me!" He turned to Mr. Popo and shouted, "When are Yun Feng and the others finally coming out?"
Mr. Popo wiped away a cold sweat. "They should be out in about another hour."
Piccolo and Bojack's auras were evenly matched. Their energies collided in the air, neither giving way.
Bojack grinned. "Not bad, Namekian. You've impressed me. Let's get started. I hope you can keep me entertained for a while."
Piccolo's expression was grave. "Let's see if you're still so confident in a moment."
Piccolo charged forward. Their speed was blinding as they traded punch for punch. Boom! The surrounding mountains quickly crumbled. They clashed palm against palm, and terrifying bolts of lightning streaked across the sky. Their immense power erupted, and the ground below immediately sank.
Neither had the upper hand, so they leaped apart. Piccolo fired Light Blasts one after another, hurling them straight at Bojack. The blasts kept pelting him as Piccolo roared, "Die!"
Terrifying explosions erupted against Bojack's body. As the Light Blasts came faster and faster, Bojack raised a barrier.
Bojack gasped for breath. "Not bad. You actually made me put up a barrier. That's some impressive firepower."
Piccolo froze. Damn it! He charged forward again, and the two resumed their battle. Piccolo punched Bojack; Bojack kicked Piccolo. Both were battered, with bruises and injuries covering their faces and bodies.
They separated and stared at each other, both gasping for breath.
Yun Feng, Goku, and Gohan finally came out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Vegeta looked at Yun Feng and taunted him. "What took you so long? Couldn't break through?"
Yun Feng smiled. "Mr. Vegeta, at least now I could knock you down with one hand. Want to try?"
Vegeta's face turned ashen. "Trunks, we're going in." Trunks followed him inside.
Mr. Popo asked, "What's going on out there?"
"Mr. Yun Feng, the Guardian of Earth and Piccolo have fused. They're fighting an unfamiliar enemy, and they're evenly matched for now," Mr. Popo said.
Yun Feng was astonished. "Who could fight Piccolo to a standstill now? Did Dabura step in? No, Dabura is much stronger than Piccolo."
Yun Feng said to Goku, "Goku, go to Planet Namek and find a new Guardian of Earth. I'll go see Piccolo and find out what kind of enemy he's facing."
Goku nodded. When Gohan heard they were going to Planet Namek, he missed Dende. The two of them had gotten along very well there.
Goku and Yun Feng both used Instant Transmission and left Kami's Lookout.
