Perfect Cell appeared, Perfect Cell was defeated in an instant

After transforming into a Super Saiyan, Son Goshin looked at Cell and said, "Ugly freak, are you ready? I'm about to start beating you up."

Cell hurriedly took a defensive stance. He knew it would do no good, but it was all he could do.

Son Goshin gave a wicked grin. In the next instant, his fist punched straight through Cell's abdomen, then he flashed back to his original spot.

Cell looked down at his abdomen and found that he could see the scenery behind him through the hole. His face twisted in agony.

He gritted his teeth and roared. His abdomen rapidly returned to normal, though his energy had dropped considerably.

Seeing this, Raditz said, "Cell can actually regenerate. Looks like we won't need the Senzu Beans Kakarot gave us."

Son Goshin said, "I didn't expect an ugly freak like you to regenerate. Let's see just how good that regeneration is."

Before he finished speaking, he blew Cell's head apart with a punch, then flashed aside to avoid the spray.

Raditz said to Son Goshin, "Nephew, you're way too brutal. Your father told us to fulfill Cell's wish to achieve his perfect form, but you just killed him. What do we do now?"

Son Goshin said, "Deal with it. Who knew Cell was so fragile that he couldn't even take one punch from me? And he called himself the ultimate Android."

As the two spoke, a new head grew from Cell's corpse.

Everyone found the sight revolting. Son Goshin called out to Cell, "Ugly freak, you're not much of a fighter, but you're certainly hard to kill. Even that didn't finish you off."

Feeling the immense energy within him, Cell said to Son Goshin, "Kid, punch me again. I have a feeling that if I die once more, I'll reach my perfect form."

Son Goshin replied, "In all my life, I've never heard anyone ask for something like that. I'll grant your wish today."

Then Cell's head exploded again, while Son Goshin stood where he was and watched his corpse.

A moment later, Cell stood up again. With a roar, his energy surged sharply. His aura churned around him, brilliant light blazed, and his body began to change.

His sausage-like lips disappeared, and his mouth became like a normal person's. Two large wings grew from his back, his tail shrank, and he became a little taller.

Cell looked himself over and clenched his fists, feeling his newfound power. He burst into laughter. "Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha!"

After laughing for a while, he said to Son Goshin, "Thank you for letting me achieve my perfect form. As repayment, I'll finish you off in one go."

Son Goshin clutched his stomach and laughed. "Cell, this is all the power your perfect form has, and you still dare to talk big? You're killing me!"

Raditz added, "I thought your perfect form would be something special, but this is all you've got? I may not be a match for you, but if you think this little bit of power will turn things around, you're dreaming."

"Damn you! How dare you underestimate the power of my perfect form! I'll make you pay!" Cell snarled.

The moment he finished speaking, Cell flashed forward and punched Son Goshin in the cheek. Then he laughed. "Well, Son Goshin? Now you've felt the power of my iron fist! I'm so fast you couldn't even dodge, could you?"

Son Goshin turned his head back and said, "Cell, is this all your perfect form can do? Are you trying to tickle me?"

"Impossible!" Cell cried. "I clearly hit you! How can you be completely unharmed?"

Son Goshin said, "I told you, your strength is nothing compared to mine. You just wouldn't believe me."

Cell flew into a rage. "Damn it, what's going on? I've clearly reached the perfect form Dr. Gero described! Why am I still this weak? I can't even beat Son Goku's son!"

Son Goshin laughed. "Have you considered that Dr. Gero's horizons were limited? He was just a frog in a well."

Cell thought about it and realized that might actually be true. Otherwise, how could there be such a huge gap between the data collected and the actual strength of Son Goku and the others?

Seeing Cell fall silent, Son Goshin said, "All right, Cell. Let me show you my true strength and send you off to meet Dr. Gero."

With a roar, he transformed straight into Super Saiyan 2. His wild, overwhelming energy bore down on Cell so heavily that he could barely breathe.

Feeling Son Goshin's immense energy, Cell's eyes went blank. He muttered, "This is impossible. This is absolutely impossible."

Son Goshin brought his hands together, gathered a Kamehameha, and instantly fired it at Cell. With one last roar of defiance, Cell was blasted away without a trace, leaving him no chance to regenerate.

After finishing Cell off, Son Goshin released his Super Saiyan 2 transformation.

Piccolo said, "Well done, Goshin. Swift and decisive. You remind me of myself back in the day."

Son Goshin said, "It's all thanks to your teaching, Uncle Piccolo."

Piccolo nodded, then told everyone, "Now that Goshin has dealt with Cell, let's head back."

Everyone nodded and flew toward Bulma's house. Lapis followed them, and Android 16 shook his head helplessly before following as well.

Before long, they returned to Bulma's house.

After finishing a round of thrusting, Son Goku sensed everyone's energy and said to Lazuli, "Lazuli, they're back. Let's battle again tonight."

Lazuli nodded. Although she had unlimited stamina, her prolonged battle with Son Goku had left her so full that it was overflowing. She needed some time to absorb it.

They got dressed and left the room, appearing before the others a short while later.

Son Goku spoke first. "Did you deal with Cell?"

Piccolo said, "Yes, Son. Goshin blasted Cell away without leaving a trace."

Son Goku nodded. "Good. In that case, go do whatever you need to do."

Everyone nodded. Lapis asked, "Brother-in-law, what should we do?"

Son Goku said, "You can go train with them in the Gravity Room."

Then he told Android 16, "Android 16, you can go to the garden. There are plenty of small animals there. I think you'll like it."

Android 16 replied, "All right, Son Goku. I love small animals and nature."

Lapis said, "Got it, brother-in-law. What about my sister?"

Son Goku said, "Your sister and I still have something to do."

Yamcha, an old hand with women, laughed. "Lapis, Goku and your sister are going to make you a little nephew or niece."

Even Lapis understood what that meant. He laughed. "Then good luck, you two. I'll be waiting to hold my nephew or niece."

Lazuli flushed with embarrassment and anger. "Lapis, are you asking for a beating?"

Lapis smiled without saying anything, then quickly left with the others.

Once everyone was gone, Son Goku said to Lazuli, "Come on, let's eat. After that, we'll get back to battling."

Lazuli nodded. She hadn't eaten anything since being turned into an Android. Now that she was finally free, she certainly wasn't going to miss out on good food.

The two went to the dining room. The serving robots began bringing out food, and they both dug in with gusto.
