Translation of Dragon ball Book 31 Translated by Usagi North --A Division of Z-TV Enterprises Dragon Ball by Toriyama Akira Book 31 'Cell Lurks' Inside Front Cover Toriyama Akira I don't know when it happened but my work room has become something of a storage closet. It seems like magazines, plastic models, model guns, air guns and so forth keep coming in but never leave, so it's becoming harder to even find the space for a walkway through the room. Lately I only use the room the one day a week when my assistant comes to help out. So mostly I work in the living room were my children bother me constantly Page 2 Warning: This is a work of fiction.

Cell: Are you trying to tell me that you aren't the Arch Demon Piccolo? Piccolo: That's right Page 9 Trunks: I feel another new huge 'ki' Trunks: Who's that new person that's shown up!!? Another person we don't know has shown up... Kulilin: That's Piccolo!! Trunks: But this 'ki' is too large for him Kulilin: Incredible!! Kulilin: He really has rejoined with God!! Trunks: Eh? Rejoined...With God!? Trunks: The one he used to be a part of.... Kulilin: That's right!! Kulilin: Piccolo was already hugely powerful.... Kulilin: He's become a Super Namek-seijin!!! Trunks: Wonderful!! Trunks: Did he have the potential to become this powerful... Page 10 Piccolo: It was convenient that you got rid of the inhabitants of this city Cell: What!? What do you mean? Piccolo: I can go all out against you! Cell: What!? Page 13 Trunks: Who launched that attack!? Kulilin: They've started to fight in the air over there!!! Page 14 #17: Have you noticed a change in the air? #18: Ya #17: maybe a volcano's blown up, or maybe.... #17: Anyway it's pretty far from here #16: It's in a Suburb of the Western Capitol #16: Two large powers are probably fighting Page 15 #17: Number 16, I didn't know that you had a power reader! Why didn't you tell us until now? #16: Because you never asked #17: I see #17: But the least you could do is tell us who is fighting #16: Neither one of them is in my data banks #16: But one of them is strong enough to fight you on equal terms #17: What!? #17: It looks like Dr. Gero made another mistake, you power reader's broken #17: There can't be anyone in this world strong enough to fight me #18: That's silly. Let's go number 16 Page 17 Piccolo: If that's the best you can do I was mistaken when I thought you were a terrible monster Cell: You're pretty good, even though I haven't gotten my perfect form yet Piccolo: Perfect form!? Piccolo: Don't tell me that's why you were absorbing people...!!! Cell: I take the essence of their bodies and convert it to energy Piccolo: Answer me!! Who sent you back to this time in the time machine!? Was it your friend!? Page 20 Cell: I sent myself... This body was too large for that time machine so it was necessary for me to turn myself back into an egg Cell: But I'm surprised that you even knew about the time machine Cell: However... Cell: But I bet you didn't know about this Cell: KA.... Page 21 Cell: ME.... Cell: HA.... Cell: ME.... Piccolo: That stance.... Piccolo: It can't be!! Bottom: Next Chapter 363 'The Mystery of the Monster Solved' Page 22 Cell: Ka.... Cell: me...ha.... Cell: me.... Piccolo: This is impossible!! Cell: HA!!!! Page 23 Piccolo: It's the real thing Page 25 Cell: Your life is mine!!! Page 26 Cell: Crap, I stung him in the arm Cell: but even the so, the result will be the same. I'm going to take your life essence Page 28 Cell: Even though you escaped, now you can't use that arm. It looks But it looks like the tables have turned Piccolo: Yeah, now my balance is off as well. It's certainly gotten much harder for me Piccolo: Too bad but it looks like you'll win Cell: It looks like you've realized the futility of your position Cell: Fortunately after I take your life essence I'll be much closer to my perfect form Page 29 Piccolo: Before I'm absorbed by you answer my questions Piccolo: What are you? How come I can feel Gokuh's and Freeza's 'ki' from you? You can even do the Kama-Hame-Ha cell: Okay, you're going to die anyway, I might as well tell you Cell: my name is Cell, I'm an artificial human Cell: Dr. Gero's computer created me Piccolo: Dr. Gero again...! Cell: Long ago, Dr. Gero started to collect genetic material from you warriors and was going to use the genes to create an artificial human Cell: However it was going to take to much time so he stopped. But the computer continued the research by itself Page 30 Cell: It collected cell's from Son Gokuh...Piccolo and Vegeta and Nappa's cells when they were on Earth fighting Piccolo: Gokuh wasn't very strong then.... Piccolo: So that's why your Kame-Hame Ha wasn't very powerful Cell: And when Freeza and his father come to Earth we were lucky enough to get their cells too Cell: I would have been nice to get Trunks' cells too, but we already had enough Saiyajin samples Page 31 Piccolo: How were you able to collect the cells? Piccolo: There wasn't anyone suspicious at those times Cell: I thought Dr. Gero told you. It was the same spy robot he was using to spy on you Cell: It was a bee like mini-robot. Probably none of you noticed it, it took samples when it had a chance Cell: Watch closely! Even now it is sending data to the computer Cell: It might even want to sample your cells Piccolo: Damn you!! Page 32 Cell: Destroying it now it too late, It's already taken all of the necessary sample. The research has already begun Cell: I won't be perfected for another 24 years Piccolo: Don't be stupid! We destroyed Dr. Gero's lab!! Cell: The research computer was below the room you destroyed Piccolo: I see Piccolo: Why did it take you three years to grow into that shape from the egg? Cell: After returning to an egg, it takes three years of growth in the ground Piccolo: Here's my last question! Piccolo: Why did you come back in time? Page 33 Cell: In order for me to achieve my perfect form I need more than just life essence... I need to join with two important bodies Cell: The computer told me that those two bodies are.... Cell: Number 17 and Number 18 Piccolo: What!? Cell: When I started life in the future, there were nowhere to be found, I don't know what happened but in my future they had been destroyed, probably by Trunks Cell: But fortunately Trunks had his time machine. I killed Trunk sand came back in time so I could find Number 17 and Number 18 Page 34 Piccolo: Why did you choose this time? Cell: Trunks' time machine was set to come to this time, all I did was push the button Piccolo: I see, Trunks was probably coming back to tell us that he somehow defeated the artificial humans Cell: The computer told me this too...! Cell: When I achieve my perfect form, I'll be the most powerful being imaginable Piccolo: For what reason!? Piccolo: Why do you want such absolute power? Cell: Reason? Don't ask me foolish questions... Cell: The computer was programmed to make as powerful a being as possible... Cell: And maybe because I have Saiyajin, Freeza's and Piccolo's blood in my veins Piccolo: I see Page 35 Piccolo: Thank you for clearing up those mysteries Piccolo: You've given me a lot to think about Cell: You...you...! Cell: You did that on purpose just to make me talk!! Piccolo: I can't allow you to get your perfect form Piccolo: You have my blood, didn't you realize that I could regenerate an arm? Bottom: Next Chapter 364 'Laughing Cell' Page 36 Piccolo: Even accounting for the energy of that one arm, I'm still stronger than you. Prepare for your defeat Cell: You're pretty smart. You pretended to lose that arm to get me to talk Cell: You're evil wisdom's working well for you Piccolo: That was God's wisdom! Cell: What!? Cell: I see!! Cell: You're what happens when God and Piccolo fuse!! Page 37 Piccolo: That's right Piccolo: It's taken you long enough to figure that out Cell: That means that the Dragon Balls have disappeared as well... Cell: That means that no one who dies can come back to life... Cell: This might work to my advantage Cell: So that's why you're so strong Cell: Even though you still look exactly like the Arch Demon Piccolo Kulilin: That IS Piccolo!! He has fused with God!! Kulilin: But who's that other thing...? Trunks: It's probably that thing that came out of that shell we found Cell: Trunks!! Cell: Why is he here? Cell: He must have come back to this era in his time machine Cell: What a fool! I killed him in the future, now I get to kill him in the present! Page 38 Kulilin: It's a monster! Kulilin: Is this what killed everyone in Ginger Town? Piccolo: Yes Piccolo: Be careful of his tail, that what he used to make everyone disappear Kulilin: Why do we feel... Kulilin: ...everyone's 'ki' coming from him? Piccolo: I'll tell you the details later Piccolo: But I have to take care of him first Cell: You're going to 'take care,' of me!? Cell: I don't think it'll be that easy Kulilin: It spoke!! Page 39 Piccolo: I really don't think you have a chance of winning in this situation Cell: It does look like I'll have to retreat Piccolo: I won't let you escape Piccolo: Another Kame Hame Ha like you just did won't even affect me Kulilin: Kame Hame Ha!? Kulilin: Can he use Gokuh's Kame Hame Ha!? Cell: I can use more than just the Kame Hame Ha, Kulilin! Cell: If I felt like I could probably even use a Genki Dama Kulilin: Wow, it even knows my name Kulilin: Gokuh's going to be really surprised when I tell him about this Cell: Is Gokuh still alive!? Kulilin: Of course he is!! Cell: So he's still alive Cell: It looks like this time-line is slowly separating from the history I know Page 40 Cell: I will get my hands on Number 17 and 18!! Cell: You won't even be able to stop me from obtaining my perfect form!! The only one that can even fight them now is Piccolo!! Kulilin: That's...!! Page 41 Cell: Tai-Yo-Ken!!!! Piccolo: Damn!! Page 42 Trunks: We let him get away! Trunks: Shit! Trunks: Wasn't the Tai-Yo-Ken one of Tenshin-Han's techniques!? Kulilin: The Tai-Yo-Ken's not that hard to do... Kulilin: even Gokuh and I can do it! Piccolo: Damn him!! Piccolo: He's hidden his 'ki' Piccolo: I didn't think he could do that too Page 43 Cell: They were too soft, they're idiots if they think they could catch me that easily! Cell: If I continue to hide my power like this they'll never be able to find me Cell: And while hiding from them I can continue to absorb human's power and make myself even stronger Cell: And when I am much stronger than Number 17 and 18 I'll force them to join with me! Cell: The thing I feared the most was the emergency shut off controller Cell: Not even Number 17 can defend himself if he can't move Cell: Fortunately it looks like that controller's been destroyed Page 44 Cell: There should be a city around here, I can take my time and take all of the life-energy! When Piccolo realizes what I'm doing I'll move again Cell: That was Vegeta! He hasn't been killed by Number 17 yet! Cell: But he's even more powerful than I calculated Cell: I think I'd better hurry Page 45 Vegeta: One of the 2 powerful people that were fighting has disappeared, but one is left Vegeta: It's not that damned Artificial Human Number 17, he doesn't have any life force. What the hell is it!? Piccolo: Dammit! I let myself get distracted!! Piccolo: I should have defeated him sooner!! Piccolo: Damn me!! Piccolo: We can't allow him to achieve his perfect form!! Vegeta: That's Piccolo!! Vegeta: Impossible! Page 36 Vegeta: Tell me! Vegeta: What in hell just happened here!!? Piccolo: It looks like Tenshin-Han is coming here too Piccolo: I'll tell you everything when he arrives Vegeta: Before that... Vegeta: At least tell me this Vegeta: Are you really Piccolo!!? How were you able to get so strong so fast!!? Trunks: It looks he rejoined with God Vegeta: Wah... Vegeta: What!? He's rejoined with God!? Vegeta: Just that!? Vegeta: The fighting strength I felt coming from him was stronger than my Super Saiyajin form Vegeta: Impossible!! Vegeta: He's just a Namek-seijin Kulilin: He's here! It's Tenshin-Han!! Page 47 Piccolo: What can I do? Even as powerful as I've gotten I don't think I could defeat Number 17, 18 and 16 Piccolo: I'll just have to defeat Cell Kulilin: Uh Piccolo, well maybe you're not but Tenshin-Han's here Piccolo: Okay, I'll explain everything Piccolo: Vegeta and Tenshin-Han didn't see it, but that monster is an artificial Human created by Dr. Gero's computer acting on its own Vegeta: What!? Vegeta: ...my cells...!? Page 48 Cell: Look at all those humans... Cell: Wait for me Number 17 and 18! Cell: In a few days I'll be much more powerful than you, and then I'll absorb you!! Page 49 Piccolo: ...is what's going on. In order to stop Cell from obtaining his perfect form we'll either have to find him and kill him or destroy Number 17 and 18. We'll have to do one or the other Piccolo: I think I'm going to have to defeat Cell while I am still more powerful than him Vegeta: They're all screwing with me!! They've all gotten more powerful than the supposedly invincible Super Saiyajin! Vegeta: That pisses me off!! Doesn't it piss you off too Kakarotto Page 51 Title: Chapter 365 Title: Gokuh Awakens Kulilin: Damn... Kulilin: I guess we'll just have to find and kill Cell Trunks: Will we be able to find him? Trunks: He knows how much more powerful Piccolo is, won't he continue to hide and eat people at his leisure Tenshin-Han: We have to keep him and Number 17 and 18 apart!! Tenshin-Han: This looks bad... Page 52 Piccolo: This affects more than just the Earth. All the planets in the Universe share our danger Piccolo: Don't forget that he has Freeza's blood in his veins too Vegeta: He has my blood too Vegeta: You're wasting your time with this planning Vegeta: Why not let them fuse if that's what they want!? That'll just give us fewer people to fight and more room to act Vegeta: I don't care how strong my opponent is... Vegeta: I'll still kill him! Piccolo: Don't underestimate him Vegeta Piccolo: You weren't even able to touch Number 17, and Cell's going to be much more powerful Vegeta: I'm not going to listen to your fucking bad mouthing me!! Vegeta: Do you want me to kill you before I kill the Artificial Humans!!? Page 53 Vegeta: I'll surpass them, not matter what I'll surpass them!! Vegeta: I'll even surpass the Super Saiyajin!! Trunks: You're going to surpass the Super Saiyajin? Vegeta: I think Kakarotto's going to do it too Vegeta: I'm sure of it Vegeta: You bastards can do whatever you want Page 54 Piccolo: What's he mean by surpassing the Super Saiyajin!? Piccolo: Has he gone mad? Is that even possible!? Kulilin: You said it wouldn't really solve anything... Kulilin: ...if you went into the past and destroyed Number 17 Trunks: Yes Trunks: It'd probably save that dimension's future but it wouldn't do anything for this dimension Kulilin: So it probably wouldn't do any good to go back to Dr. Gero's lab and destroy the Cell in there Trunks: We might as well destroy it Trunks: At least we won't have to worry about another Cell in the future of this dimension Piccolo: You two go to the lab and destroy Cell, Tenshin-Han and I will stay here and continue to search Trunks: Okay Kulilin: Well if you don't think you'll be able to find Cell come back to Kame House, you might be able to figure out where he is by watching the news Page 55 Trunks: He's going to surpass even the Super Saiyajin? Trunks: I've never even thought of that Kulilin: Do you really think there's an underground room? How're we supposed to find it? Kulilin: Maybe we'll just have to destroy this whole area Trunks: Kulilin!! Trunks: I've found it! I think this is it!! Kulilin: You're right!! Page 56 Kulilin: Damn!! Is that the computer!!? Trunks: Look at this! I'm sure this is what's going to become Cell Kulilin: Okay, let's destroy it all Trunks: Hey... Trunks: Wait a little Trunks: These are blueprints Page 57 Kulilin: What are they blueprints for? Cell? Trunks: No! Look!! It says Number 17 here!! Trunks: I'd better have mom look at this Trunks: She might be able to figure out they're weakness!! Page 58 Kulilin: And to finish the whole thing off Kulilin: It looks like this might have turned out for the best! Trunks: Yes!! Page 59 Trunks: Kulilin, could you take these blueprints to my mother? Kulilin: Weren't you coming with me? Trunks: I want to try to train with my father Trunks: If he can really surpass the Super Saiyajin I want to too Kulilin: Sure, but do you think Vegeta will let you? Trunks: I don't want to work with a father like that... Trunks: But I think even father knows that having a training partner let's you improve a lot faster than training on your own Kulilin: Okay, do your best! Trunks: Okay! Page 60 Tenshin-Han: Over there! Tenshin-Han: I feel a slight 'ki' disturbance Piccolo: Damn!! Piccolo: We're too late!! He's too damned fast!! Tenshin-Han: There's nothing we can do, he can feel us approach and all he has to do is hide Tenshin-Han: If we try to hide our 'kis' we can't move fast Page 61 Cell: Fools... Bulma: What's all this!? Kulilin: We were hoping you could look at these plans and figure out Number 17's weaknesses Page 62 Briefs: This is incredible Briefs: There's a lot of stuff here that not even I understand Briefs: It's too bad Dr. Gero couldn't have used his genius for good... Bulma: He used a human base, and mostly used bio-mechanical enhancements Bulma: It looks like it might be possible to use this in some kind of cellular fusion Bulma: I'd have to take a closer look, but maybe there's some weakness in one of the smaller devices he used Briefs: We'll work as fast as we can Kulilin: Thank you Narrator: 2 days past, and on the 3rd day... Diana: It looks like the monster has appeared in a big city in area 48 of the southern sector Diana: It appears as if more than half of that population has been killed... Piccolo: Now he's down in the southern sector!! Yamucha: Cell won't be able to sense us if we travel in this, this time we've got him!! Piccolo: He's too cunning, even if we close on him all he has to do is hide and there's nothing we can do to find him Chi-Chi: What!? Page 64 Chi-Chi: Gokuh!! Chi-Chi: You're awake!! Gokuh: Chi-Chi... Gokuh: Sorry I worried you Gokuh: But I'm completely healed now Chi-Chi: Thank goodness Chi-Chi: What are you doing? Chi-Chi: Why are you putting on your clothes!? Kame: Gokuh!? Are you better already!? Kame: Hey! What're you doing!? Chi-Chi: You need more sleep!! Page 65 Gokuh: I heard all of you talk in my dreams Gokuh: I think I understand what's happening Gokuh: It looks like something important's happened again Kame: Go...Gokuh... Chi-Chi: Do you still want to fight!? You'll die!! Gokuh: Don't worry. I'm not going to fight yet Gokuh: If Vegeta can't defeat them, there's no way I could Gokuh: I'm going to try for something better... Gokuh: Something better than Super Saiyajin...!! Page 67 Kame: Are you saying you're trying for something even stronger than the Super Saiyajin!? Kame: Is that even possible!? Gokuh: I don't know Gokuh: But I have to do it to defeat these opponents Gokuh: I'll try for a year and if I can't do it, I'll give up Kame: A year!? Kame: You don't have that much time.... Gokuh: I know a place were you can spend a year in just a day Kame: Huh? Gokuh: Chi-Chi, I wanna take Gohan with me, okay? Chi-Chi: Don't... Chi-Chi: Don't be silly Chi-Chi: But I don't think that'll stop you Chi-Chi: Oh well... Chi-Chi: But if you're going to take him make him really strong Gokuh: Chi-Chi!! Chi-Chi: But after you're done fighting the artificial human I'll never let you take him again Chi-Chi: And I'm going to make you get a job!! Gokuh: Uh... Gokuh: Arigato! Page 68 Gokuh: Bye Kame: He disappeared... Kame: How'd he do that? Chi-Chi: I don't know... Page 69 Mina: Gokuh!! Gohan: Father!! Kulilin: How'd you get here? Kulilin: Did you use that Instantaneous Movement? Gokuh: Yep Kulilin: Are you all better? Gokuh: Well I'm a little hungry... Gokuh: Kamicollo! Piccolo: You don't have to fuse my names too! I'm mostly based on Piccolo Piccolo: Call me Piccolo Gokuh: I don't think I can defeat the Artificial Humans or Cell the way I am now Gokuh: I'm going to take Gohan and do some training Gokuh: To that place where you can do a years worth of training in just a day Page 70 Piccolo: I see!! You want to go to the Room of Spirit and Time!! Piccolo: But no one's ever been able to spend a full year in there. It was all you could do to stand it for a month Gokuh: I'm going to take Vegeta and Trunks too Trunks: I know they'll be able to handle it Piccolo: Go fast! Cell's absorbing people at a terrific rate and getting more powerful all the time Gokuh: Ya... Gokuh: Gohan, hang on to my hand Gohan: Okay Kulilin: Tell me this Gokuh Kulilin: Now that an opponent even stronger than Freeza's shown up, are you happy or scared? Gokuh: Both Page 71 Tenshin-Han: Cocky guy... Tenshin-Han: All those people are dying and that's all he can say... Kulilin: Great! Gokuh hasn't given up yet! Kulilin: I think I can see a little hope now Kulilin: He might really be able to surpass the Super Saiyajin Trunks: Gokuh!! Gokuh: How's the training going? Trunks: It's no good. Father says I can only get in the way Page 72 Trunks: But even though he said that he's just been standing like that for the last 3 days Gokuh: I impressed with Vegeta... Gokuh: I think he's trying to look beyond the Super Saiyajin Vegeta: You're bothering me Kakarotto Vegeta: Go away Gokuh: Don't talk to me like that. I know a good place to train Gokuh: There's a room in God's house where you can train for a year in just a day Vegeta: Really? Gokuh: Sure, follow me. It's not like I'm asking you train with me Page 73 Gokuh: But the room can only hold 2 people, so you and Trunks are going to have to go in together Vegeta: Okay Vegeta: But we go in first Vegeta: Understood? Gokuh: Sure 18: No one's here 18: They got away 17: Thought so 17: Number 16, do you know where they're hiding? 16: I can't feel their power on my radar 16: But if they've gone to stay with their allies the most logical locations are the Capsule Corporation Headquarters in the Western Capitol, or Muten Roshi's island in the Southern F sector Page 74 17: Okay 17: Which one's closest? 16: Muten Roshi's house 16: It's 2700 kilometers southeast of here Popo: Okay Popo: Follow me Popo: It only has a bathtub, toilet food and beds. Train hard Vegeta: Kakarotto, why do you want me to train too? Vegeta: You're my ultimate goal Gokuh I don't think I'll be able to defeat these opponents by myself Gokuh: But I think you've realized that too Page 75 Vegeta: You might live to regret this Popo: This is it. Who's going in? Gokuh: Vegeta and Trunks are going in first Trunks: Thanks for letting us go first Gokuh: Train hard, and get to know each other Trunks: It's hot in here Trunks: The air's thin too Trunks: And the gravity's high too Page 76 Trunks: Wha... Trunks: What's this!? Trunks: There's nothing here!! Trunks: It's just an empty white space!! Trunks: And it's huge!! Trunks: So that's why Gokuh could only stand it for a month Trunks: I see now.. Vegeta: I understand Vegeta: This is perfect Trunks: I'm going to have to spend a whole year here with my dad... Page 77 Yamucha: It didn't work!! Damn! He hid his 'ki' again!! Tenshin-Han: There's too many places for him to hide Piccolo: Damn Piccolo: He's probably gotten much stronger by now... I don't know when he's going to try to fuse with the Artificial Humans and get his perfect form Piccolo: We can only hope that Gokuh finds some way to surpass the Super Saiyajin... Piccolo: Defeating all the Artificial Humans might be my only choice now Narrator: Already almost a full day has passed since Vegeta and Trunks entered the Room of Spirit and Time News: Already this devilish monster has killed tens of thousands of people!! News: The whole world shakes in fear over this monster... Page 78 Piccolo: Dammit! Haven't you had enough Cell!? 17: Hiya! 17: Is Son Gokuh here? Page 79 Piccolo: Damn! I don't know if this is good timing or bad timing 16: I don't think Son Gokuh is here 17: I see Piccolo: Get up! We have the worst guests!! Kulilin: Ah!! Piccolo: Get the hell out of here!! Son Gokuh's not here!! 17: We thought so, could you tell us where he is? Page 80 Kulilin; How'd you know about this place!? Piccolo: Do you think we'd just tell you!? 17: Maybe... But if you don't we'll just have to force it out of you Kame: So they're the Artificial Humans... Piccolo: I see Piccolo: Go ahead and try Piccolo: There's an uninhabited island over there 17: Oh well 17: Don't these guys ever learn... Piccolo: Stay here! You know it's impossible for you to do anything to help Page 81 Yamucha: Do you think he can win? Tenshin-Han: I don't think so, he's got to fight all 3 of them Kulilin: Damn, at least some of Saiyajin should been done with their training any time now!! Kulilin: Hold out until then... 17: If you don't say anything I'll kill you this time Piccolo: I won't be as easy to beat as I was last time!! Bottom: Next Chapter 367 'The New Piccolo vs. Number 17' Page 82 17: I really can't understand why you fight, even though you know you can't win 17: I don't know if you're trying to buy some time, or if you're just stupid 17: If you wanna fight, come and get me Page 83 Piccolo: I only have to fight you, Number 17!? 17: Of course 17: Actually it's a waste for me to have to fight the likes of you though... Piccolo: Great!! I might be able to win if I only have to fight one of them!! If I defeat either of them Cell won't be able to achieve his perfect form Page 84 16: That's not Piccolo 17: What!? Page 89 Gokuh: Something's started!! Piccolo's fighting!! Gohan: Is he fighting Cell? Gokuh: No, I can't feel his opponent's 'ki.' It's probably an Artificial Human Gohan: No way!! Gohan: Piccolo will get killed!! Gokuh: Don't go, Gohan!! Gokuh: They're too much stronger than us now!! All you can do is get in Piccolo's way!! Gokuh: I'm sure that Vegeta and Trunks will come out any time now much more powerful! Everything'll be okay!! Gokuh: Anyway, Piccolo's gotten stronger than you believe! Gokuh: Aren't you done yet, Vegeta!? Maybe it is impossible to Surpass Super Saiyajin Page 91 Piccolo: There's nowhere for you to run now!! Piccolo: Die!! Page 93 Kulilin: What was that!? Page 94 Piccolo: He has a barrier!? 17: Too bad! Piccolo: The fight's only just begun! 17: Let's go somewhere else 17: A certain somebody destroyed the island we were on 17: You really should treat nature nicer than that Page 95 Cell: That strong 'ki' must belong to that fusion of God and Piccolo!! Cell: The only thing that could force him to fight so hard is.. Cell: The Artificial Humans!! Cell: I've found them!! Perfect timing!! Cell: I'm going right now!! Wait for me!! Cell: I've already surpassed your strength!! Bottom: Next Chapter 368, 'Cell Sneaks up' Page 96 17: That was pretty powerful, even though you're not even an Artificial Human 17: It looks like you really aren't the Arch Demon Piccolo 17: But I could really care less who you are, I just want to know where Son Gokuh is, why don't you just tell me Piccolo: Your goal is to kill Gokuh, isn't it? Piccolo: There's no way I'll tell you where he is 17: Well let's keep fighting until you decide to tell me Page 97 17: This time I'm not going to hold back Page 100 Piccolo: You're pretty fast... Piccolo: But you don't punch hard enough 17: What!? That's a stupid thing to say... 17: To the strongest warrior of all time! Page 103 18: He's really strong. It's an even fight Page 105 Cell: I've waited for this day for a long time!! The day I achieve my perfect form!! Kulilin: Wow! Piccolo's still fighting!! Tenshin-Han: Shit! Can't we do anything other than just stand here!? Page 106 Kulilin: What's that!? It's coming this way!! Tenshin-Han: Ce... Tenshin-Han: Cell!! Chi-Chi: Kulilin, Bulma's on the phone for you! She says she's found the Artificial Human's weakness Bulma: That' right! Number 17 and 18 have an emergency shut off mechanism built into them! If they can't move they'll be easy to destroy! I've already made the controller to shut them down!! Kulilin: Thanks! Could you bring it right over!? Right now Piccolo's fighting the Artificial Humans!! Bulma: Okay, I'll be right over Page 107 Tenshin-Han: Great! Tenshin-Han: If Number 17 and 18 get destroyed, Cell'll never get his perfect form! Kulilin: Destroyed, huh... Tenshin-Han: What? Kulilin: Nothing! Gohan: Father! Gohan: Cell's started to move!! Gokuh: I know Vegeta: Aren't you done yet? Hurry up Vegeta! Gokuh: Things are reaching the point of no return! Gokuh: Vegeta's a genius Gokuh: He should've already surpassed the limits of Super Saiyajin Page 109 17: Even though we're equally powerful... 17: The difference in our stamina's starting to show... I'll never run out of energy Bottom: Next, Chapter 369 'The Artificial Humans vs. Cell' Page 110 Piccolo: Cell!! Piccolo: damn! Piccolo: I was so involved in the fight, I ignored my surroundings! 17: What that? 17: What's that freak? Page 111 Piccolo: What? They don't know him!? Piccolo: The Artificial Humans don't know about Cell!! Cell: A very memorable day has come!! Cell: The day I absorb Number 17 and 18 and achieve my perfect form!! Sign: Number 17 Sign: Number 18 Cell: What's that? Cell: From the Red Ribbon mark on his chest I'll guess that that's one of the Artificial Human's that Dr. Gero created Cell: He's just an old model Cell: I can safely ignore him Page 115 Cell: What's wrong Piccolo? Cell: If you want to stop me, go ahead Piccolo: How many humans were sacrificed... Piccolo: Do make you that much stronger!!? Cell: Sacrifice? I think it's an honor to become part of my strength Page 116 Kulilin: What's that!? Kame: That's Cell's 'ki.' I can't believe he's gotten that much stronger Kame: It'll still take Bulma 20 minutes to get here with shut off controller for the artificial humans Kulilin: I'll fly out and get it from her! Kulilin: I can fly faster than her airplane if I fly as fast as I can Page 117 Tenshin-Han: Kulilin... Tenshin-Han: I'm going to help Piccolo Tenshin-Han: Even if I can't help, it's still better than staying here doing nothing! Kame: Don't do it Tenshin-Han!! Kame: Come back!! Kame: You're going to die for nothing Kame: There's absolutely nothing I can do now... Kame: I long for the days when I was called the Absolute master of martial arts 17: I don't know what you are, but you're bothering me. Go away 17: I'm playing with that other guy Piccolo: Number 17 he wants to kill you and absorb you! Piccolo: Run away!! 17: What? Page 121 17: He got me by surprise 17: Damn it! 17: What do you mean by that monster absorbing me? Piccolo: To put it simply... His name is Cell, he was created by Dr. Gero's computer Piccolo: He's still not finished so he wants to absorb you and Number 18 to get his perfect form 18: What? Cell: Rejoice my siblings! By becoming part of my you'll give birth to an invincible, perfect life-form!! Cell: That's the ultimate warrior that Dr. Gero spent so many years searching for! Page 122 17: Don't be stupid. Why'd I let myself get absorbed by you? 17: Beside I'm already the ultimate warrior Cell: You're going to be absorbed no matter what you want 17: I'm getting pissed off, I think I'm going to shut you up 16: Run away Number 17!!! 16: He's much to powerful for you to fight!! 16: We can't allow him to get his perfect form 16: His goal isn't the death of Son Gokuh, it's the destruction of the universe 17: Too bad, I thought you finally had something good to say, but you want me to run away?

Piccolo: Die! Page 134 18: He did it! 16: No, he didn't 16: Cell hasn't even taken much damage Page 135 Tenshin-Han: Impossible.... He's too much stronger... Tenshin-Han: I can't believe it... What can I do...? Page 136 Piccolo: Get out of here Number 17!!! Page 137 Tenshin-Han: He snapped his neck... Tenshin-Han: Damn!!

Gokuh: We weren't in time Page 139 Gohan: Piccolo!!! Gokuh: What're you doing!? Aren't you done yet Vegeta!? 17: You're not going to get me that easily!! 18: It looks like I should run away 16: That's right, run away on your own 18: What are you going to do Number 16? 16: I'm going to destroy Cell 16: The time for me to fight has come. Before we even met Son Gokuh Page 140 Title: Chapter 371 Title: Number 16 starts his move Page 141 18: What are you doing Number 16!? 18: Stop it!

Tenshin-Han: Is he really going to fight Cell? Page 142 Cell: You can't win. Have you given up your hopeless struggling yet? Cell: Then I guess it's about time to absorb you Page 143 17: Let go of me! 17: You ugly monster!! Cell: You're about to become part of that monster Cell: You're mine now! Page 146 Cell: Another idiot that doesn't value his life has shown up 17: What're you doing Number 16!? You can't really be planning on fighting Cell!! 16: There's nothing else I can do 16: Do you really want to destroy yourself!? 16: According to my calculations Cell and I are about equal 17: What? Page 148 Cell: Damn! You're a fully robotic type! Page 150 Tenshin-Han: He did it!! 16: Now you can't absorb Number 17 Cell: Too bad Cell: Piccolo's cells are part of me too... Page 151 Cell: I can regenerate Cell: At least that much damage 16: In order to keep you from obtaining your perfect form... 16: ..it looks like I'm going to have to kill you Cell: That's impossible 16: I won't know that until I try Page 152 Cell: I already know!!

Cell: Not from me Cell: I surprised myself with my speed Cell: Of course that's because I've absorbed Number 17 Page 175 Cell: I wonder how powerful I am Page 177 Cell: It looks like I've gotten more powerful too Cell: That's perfect, it looks like you're smart enough to realize that it's no use to try to run away Cell: It's your turn next Cell: Let's build my perfect form together Page 178 18: Don't come any closer! I'll destroy myself if you do!! 18: I bet you can't get what you want if you kill yourself Cell: Can you hear me Number 18 Cell: It's me Number 17 Cell: I'm still here with Cell, it feels great.

We hate Dr. Gero for what he did to us!! 18: There's no way Number 17 would ever call him the great Dr. Gero!! Page 180 Cell: It looks like I'm just going to have to absorb you by force Cell: It should take you a moment to prepare your energy blast... I think I'm fast enough to keep you from killing yourself in that instant Cell: Give it up Page 181 Tenshin-Han: Shin-Ki-Kou-Hou!! Page 182 Tenshin-Han: What're you doing!?
