Standing before Gevo, was a smug looking Prince who seem far to pleased with himself, "Well Well what do we have here. Here I have gone out of my way to train myself up, to fight this ''Mighty Cell'' and all I find is a weak bug being bullied, by a gang of weak toasters... You are all just proving me right, that your so called 'Friend' Twilight is nothing but a cowards!" said Vegeta high on his own power.

While Vegeta was talking himself up Cell had gotten up, and had hear what he had said, and what he learned was interesting, for it seem all of what he was dealing with was do to this Twilight, who was staying away from him. Why she was staying away he did not know, but he might learn more by playing Vegeta just right, and thanks to everything he knew about the Prince, that should be easy. "Well I for one would like to know more about this Twilight." said Cell making Vegeta look at him.

"Oh and why should I tell you? You are never gone need that info anyways, for you will die by my hand here." said Vegeta with a deadly smile.

Cell realize if he was going to play him, he would have to do it now, for it was clear to him that Vegeta would be able to end him, "Well that is a shame Vegeta, for it means that I will not have the time, to gain my true power... My perfect Power." said Cell in a disappointed tone.

"Oh please like you would ever be able to be a real fight for me?" said Vegeta a little annoyed, but also looked like he was interested.

"Oh I would be able to beat you without a problem, but to show you my true perfect power, I would need to absorbed 17 and 18. But you seem to fear a real fight, so you will probably just kill me here," said Cell while looking at Vegeta, and he notice that it was working, for Vegeta was now thinking, so he was going to push a bit more, "And besides, do you really think Goku is worth your time?" the look on Vegeta as Cell said this made him sure that he had gotten what he was after.

It took a bit of time before Vegeta spoke, "Go on?"

"You see Vegeta right now I'm at my lowest power, I got 2 forms over what you see right now, and for me to gain those forms, I need to absorbs the two. But as you can see I do not have the power to get past the big guy, but if I were to get those two I would become the perfect warrior, and you will get just what you deserve," explained Cell with what might be a smile, "Well, how about it, Vegeta? You're a Saiyan aren't you? Don't you love a good fight? The stronger the opponent is, the more enjoyable the fight is for you? Would you like to find out... Do you want to see my perfect form?"

Vegeta took a moment to think before he smile, "Well then. If I want to real fight then I will just have to stop him, and the namekien, so go ahead and gain your power, so I can gain a real challenge," said Vegeta as he turn towards Gevo, who knew this was a problem he did not have the power to deal with, "So what will it be, will you try to fight me to save your so called friends? Or will you be a good boy and just stand there and let me get my fight?" asked Vegeta towards Gevo, before turning towards Piccolo, where he just smile before he blitzed Piccolo and Punch him so hard he went flying into the ground, and went out like a light, just in time for Trunks to come in and see it happen.

"What the hell are you doing Dad?!?" asked Trunks in a bit of a panic while recalling his talk with Twilight, and realize she was right, but why did he do this? he needed to know.

Looking towards Trunks Vegeta yell, "Trunks! STAY OUT OF THIS!"

Not agreeing to what his dad is doing Trunks tried to go for Cell, just for Vegeta to charge right at Trunks and landing a powerful hit to the back of Trunks's neck knocking him out cold right there, do to Trunks not having had his Super Saiyan on while also not being ready for his dad to do that, and with Vegeta having gotten to the battle in his SS

And when Vegeta turn around he found that Gevo was trying to stop Cell again so he decided to knock the man out, so he charge right at him, but before he got to him Gevo Notice him and jumped back which made Vegeta punch the ground instead, shaking the area do to the force he put down, but it did not scare Gevo who just stood up to his full size and looked at the prince, "You damned our respect Vegeta, yet you have not done anything to earn it. You may hold the most power here, but that does not mean any one here other then Cell will do as you ask, you even had to attack your own Son to try and get your way." said Gevo while he kept looking into the eyes of Vegeta.

"Spare me your words, they mean nothing to me, for you do not even know a thing about Saiyan." said Vegeta, which only got a raise eye from Gevo.

"I know nothing of Saiyan's you say? Don't make me laugh, my little sister is more Saiyan then you will ever be, and she has told me everything about herself and what she has learn, I would not be surprise if she even knows more about your race then you do." said Gevo in a calm tone, trying to get Vegeta to focus on him, for two reasons, one if Vegeta focus on him, then Lapis and Lazuli would at least have a chance to fight back, and two Twilight had just jump in, and garb Piccolo and teleported back to where she came from with Piccolo, and Vegeta did not need to see that, and lucky Cell had not seen her either.

And when he notice that she was fully gone, Gevo decide it was now or never, "So Vegeta if you think you can take me then come at me!" said Gevo as he took a stand to show he was ready, and this did the trick as Vegeta was now mad and vent right at Gevo.

With Lapis and Lazuli.

"So how are we going to go about this sis?" asked Lapis while showing a cool smile, when really he was not to sure about this.

"Well I think we are going to kick this bug's ass, for we made a promise to our friend." replied Lazuli who was keeping her head more cool then her brother, and knew if they worked together they still had a chance, a small chance but a chance.

Cell looking over the two, made him smile, for now was the time he would finally become perfect. Cell charged at them.

"We will do this with teamwork, for we will not have a changes without it!" said Lazuli. Who meet Cell in mid charged. And as they crashed. Cell start to attack Lazuli who was dodging and blocking everything she was able to staying on the defensive, but it only lasted for a bit before Lapis came in with a kick to the side of Cells face and start his attack at him from cells back making it so Cell had to keep a eye on both sides of himself, sending him on the defensive, but do to still having more power Cell was able to throw a attack out now and then, sending one flying out, just for the other to hit him hard before going back on the defensive, but it never lasted long enough for Cell to try and absorb one of them, for he needed time for that.

Cell knew he had a problem for with each punch he took, he was getting a little damage, while the twins did not have that problem, for they were made for this kind of combat, and if things kept going like this he would never get any of them, so he needed to go all out, and he had just the tool to get him the time to power up, so he waited for both to be just about to hit him and then used explosive wave which repel them away from him.

"Well it seems the two of you are stronger then I had been lead to believe, so how about I go full power!" said Cell before he started to power up, something Lapis and Lazuli was not going to let him do, but do to how powerful the waves from Cells power was, they were not able to get closer, so stopping him was outside of their power.

And when he had fully powered up the fight was now back in his favor, he just needed the right moment to get the girl, and it was not hard for him to get that with his higher power. So after having deliver a kick right to Lapis head, which he had followed up by grabbing Lazuli and holding her still, "Now prepare my dear, to become a part of Meeee!" scream Cell as he launched his Tail at her, and just before he was able to get her.

"DODON RAY!!!" Yell Tien who was using his Assassin's sight to aim right at Cell's head sending him flying away from Lazuli.

This was followed up by Krillin using his new Golden aura, to empower his Destructo Disc to cut Cells tail while he was falling thanks to Tien's Dodon Ray. This was Followed up by Yamcha going in with his Wolf Fang Fist in his Wolf Man form.

While this was happening Vegeta had been playing with Gevo, but when he notice what was happening he was about to go over and help Cell, just for Tempest to return the favor for what Vegeta had done to Gevo earlier, by drop kicking Vegeta with her full power, which was still lower then what Vegeta had, but it still did some good damage sending the prince flying into the ground.

After landing her kick Tempest landed on the ground, "Not so fun when it happens to you Troll doll?" asked Tempest who was smiling Smugly at Vegeta as he was getting out of the hole he had been kicked into.

As Vegeta got out of the hole, he was looking more annoyed then anything else, "I take it that you have hear everything there has been happening here?" he asked.

"Yeah the new scouters are a told of wonder, letting you hear and see what others do. While also being able to do more then just that." said Tempest in a calm tone.

There was silence for a good time, where the only thing there was able to be hear was the fight going on in the back ground and Gevo who was now sitting down to let himself recover a bit from his fight with Vegeta.

Having had enough of the silenced judgement Vegeta start to talk, "So aren't you going to tell me off... Tell me how bad I have been? Or question how I can do something this evil?" said Vegeta with a cocky smile, which was broken when Tempest just raise a eyebrow at him.

"And why in the world would I do that? You are a many times criminal, with a major ego problem there makes you think the universe is all about you... So you doing this!" said Tempest opening her arms out pointing to all the damage done to the area, "Is just normal for you... No I was more then ready for you to try and throw everything to the fire, just to get a fight there would get your ass kicked." said Tempest relaxed, but still ready.

This surprise Vegeta, "Oh... I'm surprise that you do not want to fight Cell at his perfect form yourself? And you call yourself a Saiyan!" said Vegeta as he spat on the ground.

"Oh but I do want to fight that Vegeta... But I'm not stupid, and can easily see just how powerful Cell would get from them, and we are both far from that level of power right now, and would need to go beyond Super Saiyan to beat that. And before you say that you already have done that! then you need to get real, the from you got right now is impressive, but I have seen humans do things just like it, you can probably even go further with it then you are showing here, but know that it would just make you a sitting target, do to how much it would slow you down." said Tempest still keeping her calm.

"Tch. You may lose to him if he gains this power, but I will not lose it! And who are you to claim that I have not achieved the power beyond a Super Saiyan! And who are you to judge me? You and your friend is nothing but hypocrites! You call me out on my crime records, yet you two have brought back The Ginyu Force, who has done far more evils then me!" said Vegeta getting more angry, at Tempest do to not gaining the respect he feels he is owned, by being the prince of their race.

All Tempest did to this was raise a eyebrow at Vegeta, "You know I did not think I would be the one to say this, but if you truly think what you have achieved is a assented form to the Super Saiyan, then you really disappoint me, for yes it is greater power then the normal form, but it's nowhere near as big a boost in power one would think would come from that. And when it comes to calling us hypocrites, then I would like to point out, that The Ginyu Force did evils as a job, and only found joy in it do to making the best of what they got, for when they were given a chance to go down a new road they took it, they are now working for Twilight, and have not done anything bad, they have even help us keep track of everything there has been going on," said Tempest shaking her head at Vegeta, "I should not even have to tell you this, for you saw them keep a eye on the other androids that Twilight handled, while you just watch, not even offering help, which is the reason why we do not trust you at all, for you are just building up power before you will try and fight Goku and anyone else you want to beat, and when you win, you will leave, not caring about anything but yourself!" finish Tempest who was now looking right into Vegeta's eyes.

There went a moment by before Vegeta start to laugh loudly, before he start to speak, "And why should I care? There is nothing for me here, I'm a warrior! I do not have time for sentimental things!" said Vegeta sounding confident, but looking at Tempest he did not see what he had thought he would, for he had been ready for rage, or even disbelieve, but he was not ready for what he saw... Sympathy, which he did not understand.

"You know there was a point in my life where I was a lot like you, where I only care about myself, only thinking that what I needed was the only thing there mattered," said Tempest as she looked up in the sky and smile, thinking about all the things Twilight had done for her, she even help her get over her fear, thinking back to the time Twilight had gotten her face to face with a major Ursa, and Twilight had gotten her to pet it, it had been at that moment she knew just how much Twilight care about her, for she had gone so far out of her way to help her deal with her fears, she had even tried to fix her magic, and had gotten close before they had ended up here. And then she looked back at Vegeta.

"Having bonds with people, and having something to truly use your power for, is better then power for powers sake. And it is also what truly lets your power grow, and before you say that you are stronger then me now, then take a moment to think about how many years your power was over mine, for I start to train after you went to Namek and you had nearly double my power if not having that at the time. Yet I got far more powerful then you! With you only beating me in power thanks to the time chamber giving you a year more training." said Tempest as she look at Vegeta who looked a bit shocked, and really angry. Which Tempest notice, and took a stance making herself ready for the fight, for with how Vegeta was right now, then it can start at any point.

And she was not disappointed when Vegeta flew right at him, and with how much more power he has over her, she needed to try something new, that she and Twilight had been playing around with, so she let her magic flow and focused it into her eyes giving her a perfect perception of the world, which allowed her to see the world move at a slower speed, letting her move faster then Vegeta, which would be needed, for Vegeta still had more strength and she did not need to win this fight, just keep him here while the others took care of Cell. So she would keep attack for if Vegeta tried to go away from her.

Dodging Vegeta even with her seeing him move slower was hard, do to how much bigger then him she was, but as long as her magic would hold she would be able to keep him away from Cell, leaving it up to, the Twins and the human Z-fighters to handle Cell.
