The Battle Against Two Janembas

With one punch, Cell's face swelled up until it was as red as pig liver, and he spat out a mouthful of thick, old phlegm.

Seeing that the other man hadn't spat out the Android, Gamos punched him again. With a bang, Cell finally couldn't hold it in. Something suddenly surged up his throat, and he vomited.

The enticing body of Android 18 was spat out by Cell.

After spitting out Android 18, Cell also regressed to his ugliest second form.

"This, this, this!"

Cell stared at his hands in horror. He had actually regressed.

He'd originally planned to play along and temporarily acknowledge the other man as his boss, then stab him in the back once he grew stronger. But before he could even make a move, the other man had beaten him back to his original form.

Cell looked at Android 18 on the ground and reached out, wanting to swallow her again.

"Cell, you've already become a perfect being. You've absorbed the information inside Android 17 and Android 18, so you don't need them anymore."

"The reason you regressed is that you don't have enough energy. Relying on the two Androids inside you to provide energy isn't a long-term solution."

With that, Gamos punched him again. Before Cell could react, his stomach churned, and the familiar sensation returned. He spat out another foreign object.

With a retch, he spat out Android 17.

After spitting out both Androids he had swallowed, Cell regressed straight to his original form: an insect-like creature with a long tail dragging on the ground.

"B-boss, I've turned into this."

Cell was close to tears. He'd worked so hard to become perfect, only to be beaten back to his original form. He didn't even know whether the boss he'd acknowledged was telling the truth.

If the other man had found out what he was planning and was deliberately messing with him, Cell wouldn't even have anywhere to go cry.

"Don't worry one bit. From now on, you just need to train hard. You'll be able to become perfect again, and even reach a higher form."

"And I've already found you a sparring partner."

Gamos glanced at Hercule and his daughter inside the stasis pod and flashed a wicked grin.

In Hell, at King Yemma's Palace, the yellow Janemba kept firing energy waves from the cannon on his belly. The blue Janemba conjured a baseball bat in his hands and gleefully smacked the waves away like baseballs.

Future Son Goku, being used as the target, dodged constantly and was in a sorry state.

"This is a real pain."

Just as Sun Wukong was fretting, a beam of light shot over from afar and struck the blue Janemba, blasting him away.

"Kakarot, you look pretty pathetic! So what if you defeated Frieza? The enemies I've defeated were even stronger than yours."

A figure wrapped in golden light flew over from the distance. Looking at Future Son Goku, he sneered disdainfully.

The newcomer was none other than Future Vegeta.

"Janemba, Janemba!"

The yellow Janemba fired a mouth beam at Future Vegeta. Future Vegeta snorted and dodged with a quick sidestep.

Just as he was feeling pleased with himself, the space to his left suddenly trembled. A huge blue fist swung at him. Future Vegeta couldn't dodge in time and was sent flying by the unexpected punch.

"Janemba, Janemba!"

The two Janembas clapped and laughed. Then they both planted their heads on the ground and started spinning rapidly, firing energy blasts from the cannons on their bellies. Dust billowed everywhere, and the ground was left in ruins.

Future Vegeta, whose triumph hadn't lasted three seconds, was furious. Looking at the two fatsoes swaying around, he couldn't help roaring.

"You two bastards, you're dead!"

Future Vegeta shouted, and his aura began surging upward. As he roared, the hair on his head glittered with golden light and grew longer and longer.

"Ha!"

After a long, drawn-out roar, Future Vegeta finally completed his transformation. His long golden hair reached his waist, and his eyebrows vanished, giving him a cold, imposing look.

"Kakarot, see that? This is my power, a new form I developed in Hell."

Seeing Future Vegeta break through to Super Saiyan Third Grade, Future Son Goku couldn't help marveling. He really was impressive!

"Vegeta, as expected of the Saiyan Prince, you're really strong. But I'm no slouch, either."

Future Son Goku rose into the air, clenched his fists, and began raising his aura as well.

"Ha!"

With a loud shout, Future Son Goku's whole body shone with dazzling golden light. As the light faded, he too had transformed into Super Saiyan Third Grade.

"What, Kakarot? I never thought a low-class warrior like you would make it this far. I really underestimated you!"

The two of them immediately attacked the Janembas. A powerful Ki Blast caught the pair, who had been spinning like tops, by surprise and sent them flying. Then the two Saiyans launched a fierce assault, each slamming a hard punch into the Janemba in front of him, right in its round belly.

"Kakarot, let's see who takes his down first."

Each of them faced one fat Janemba. They kicked their opponents hard in the belly, leaving a huge dent in each one.

"Take this!"

Sun Wukong gathered two enormous energy balls in his hands and slammed them into his opponent's chest. A massive explosion sent the Janemba flying, leaving two deep craters in its chest.

Future Son Goku pressed his advantage, unleashing a flurry of punches from above. While the Janemba stared blankly, he slammed both fists into its head, driving it deep into its body.

"I win, Vegeta."

On the other side, Future Vegeta kicked the blue Janemba high into the air. He flashed above it, gathered a huge energy wave in both hands, and fired it downward, determined to pierce straight through his opponent.

With a tremendous boom, the massive beam pierced the blue Janemba. Vegeta then descended to the ground.

"Hmph, that's only because you attacked first. I could've taken mine out in one move, too."

Even now, the two of them kept bickering, neither willing to back down.

Just as they were about to keep arguing, they suddenly realized that the Janembas' energy hadn't disappeared. Instead, it had grown even stronger.

They both looked over and saw that the two Janembas, who should have been dead, were writhing like liquid before shrinking down.

"What's going on?"

As the two stared in shock, the battered fatsoes transformed into second forms far more suited to combat.

The yellow Janemba became the Red Janemba, identical to the one in the original story, while the extra blue Janemba transformed into Purple Janemba.

Seeing this, Future Son Goku and Future Vegeta assumed fighting stances. They could both feel that the two Janembas had grown stronger. This time, they might be in for a tough fight.
