CELL VS. CHI-CHI!

[2018/04/20]Fire Mountain Demon: Mount Paozu [Son Residence] - 1:35 PM... A Tragedy In The Making.

Life was good for Chi-Chi. [youtu.be] She couldn't have asked for a better outcome to such awful ordeals she had to go through in that blood-stained, bone-littered past of hers, countless upon countless enemies arriving at her doorstep, or having to begrudgingly sortie to meet them in their territory, and pray for a clean victory... yeah, right. This time however, it's different! She's been able to enjoy a much deserved peace, several weeks after the resounding defeat of Superior Seventeen at her blazing hands. And what a showy finale it was! She still remembers the cataclysmic explosion that surged throughout the deep, suffocating depths of space, casting out a marvelous glow across a multitude of planets in this particular sector, giving them a pretty little light show for a while. You're welcome. However... despite all of this, she can't ignore the elephant sized bug in the room that is Mama Cell. Their match had been scheduled for sometime this month, the wording and itinerary being flexible enough that it could happen at their own convenience. It definitely worked against Chi-Chi, given that if Cell so willed it, she'd have to drop everything, take to her nimbus and soar off towards almost certain doom. Deeeefinitely cut into her siesta time, and her training time. Fact is, she could've dealt without that guillotine hanging over her head... buuuuut, at the very least the threat hadn't hit home, so after every arduous training session, she could briefly dispel her worries in the warm, welcoming respite that was Goten coming home from school, or seeing Gohan home early. Today, Chi-Chi would receive neither.

Astride her trusty carbon-colored cumulus, she glides across this shimmering blue sky like a kite, ignoring all gravity in favor of the complete, three-dimensional freedom only a mystical item such as the Black Nimbus could allow her. Beneath her scar-riddled arms, and atop her broad lap, sat a conglomeration of paper bags... groceries! She was thinking of making braised Daikon today. Goten oughta love that. Goku's still gone, more than likely training with any other deity that he comes across. Ho hum. Can't be mad though! Saiyans get hungry, and when he does... she'll be his goddess for the evening. An excited little titter slips out of Chi-Chi's lips, her lively ebony eyes bouncing across the great, wide open space that surrounds her, until they lock onto the eternally familiar homestead that is Mt. Paozu... specifically, her house!

"Aaaah, dome sweet dome! Take us down, Nimbus!" She ordered with a gesture, making her toes grip each other as she stays rooted in that lotus sitting position while her tubular transporation makes its descent, an obsidian cloud trail left in its wake as it winds and loops down, parking itself just in front of the humble abode's front door... to... a worrisome sight. Almost immediately, the mother could detect something was wrong [youtu.be]. A cursory glance of the entrance would give her enough information to infer a forced entry had occurred... an intruder? Carefully and deliberately, Chi-Chi slides off the cloud, leaving her groceries sitting upon them. Hey, farm to table food is just as impure as you'd think. Do you know the amount of pesticide that needs to be filtered from these!? Despicable, simply despicable! Peering through the gap in the ruined door, her voice would call out:

"Goten-cha!... Goteeeeen? Sweetie, it's Mommy!... Is... Everything alright in there?... Goten-cha?"

It would receive no answer. Not a grunt, nor a gasp... not even so much as a mouse squeaking. Her eyes would narrow into suspiscion bleeding blades of building ire. Something was definitely up here. Exercising a profound amount of caution, she gradually pushes the door open, and sidles into the familiar atmosphere that is her house's interior. Her curious, and anxious gaze would bounce around her living room. No signs of a struggle, but the door was definitely kicked in... What? She slides about, making sure to mask her own steps to the best of her martial ability. Her search would instinctively lead her to the bedrooms. Nothing to note... except for a sight [youtu.be] that would rob Chi-Chi of any equilibrium she still had. A photo... specifically, a Polaroid haphazardly smacked onto the door leading into Goten's bed room. What she sees in it is enough to knock the wind out of any mother's very soul. With horror gripping her throat like a noose, she reads through what's written on the bottom.

"Hey there, honey! I saw your fight with 17 the other day. Splendid job. I figured I'd make OUR fight rush along that much quicker in comparison, I simply cannot wait anymore. You do understand, don't you? Mother's intuition and all that. Me and my son are just too excited! Don't keep us waiting~ Mama Cell." As if to add heinous insult to terrible injury, the photo itself was a picture of that dreaded bug bitch, lovingly squeezing a clearly unsettled, and more than likely frightened Goten in her arms. She recognizes this all too well. Like a bullet shattering an ill-tempered window, memories of Gohan's screaming, and bones cracking flood back into her mind, vividly reliving those dreaded bearhugs. That horrific beatdown... tears of anguish begin bubbling along the rim of Chi-Chi's eyes.

"...G... Goten...!" She squeaked in a cracking voice. But just as quickly as her heart was breaking... it put itself back together, and promptly set itself on fire. Her growing terror being replaced with incorrigible FURY gripping every tensed fiber of her being! Fanged teeth madly gnashed together in conjuncture with balled up fists, and flexed muscles. With a snarl, her voice would crescendo from a low growl, to an ear-piercing roar of earth-shaking ANGER!! A Dragon's Song that blew the ROOF off her meticulously rebuilt home, as she blasts through it, cutting through the skies like an angered albatross! Her shout would be heard for miles... enough for even Piccolo to hear, as she takes her position a considerable amount of distance away from the familiar verdant menace, who'd already be standing in the familiar badlands that Goku, Vegeta and the rest fought in countless times before. A smarmy smirk spreads her plush, plum lips. Looks like she got her little note.

[2018/04/20]Fire Mountain Demon: "CEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLL!!!" [youtu.be] She shouts, rocketing off towards the battlefield, already clad in her battle outfit, Bansho Fan, Nyoibo and Nunchucks in tow! She was bringing EVERYTHING SHE HAD REMAINING to this awful fight, if only to make sure that THIS Cell goes through the same pain she did, all those years ago, in her timeline...

MOM MATCH OF THE MILLENIUM: CHI-CHI VS CELL! STARTS NOW!

[2018/04/20]Mama Cell: STARTS NOW!? OH HECK YEAH IT DID! As Cell could clearly sense in the far, far depleting distance!

Yes... it was like a coming missile pumped to the brim with passion, and a powerful sense of destruction. The sort that just yearned to hit whatever it wished to hit with a move that could vaporize on impact. Ooh... that's a hoot! A long, throaty, hoot. She couldn't resist feeling a little of that sensation in herself, however. After all, she had some of that DNA floating within her hard to hit hide. And with the inclusion of a certain species that made every single throbbing thought relating to a good brawl just energize her in ways no other things could, she had a bit of an insatiable sense of excitement at the end of her tongue. With a sharp throw of her gaze, the one patch of wasteland that's certified to be quaking in its boots returned that attention. "I've got to say, you were just the perfect ticket to getting the full ire of your mother out." Those words left her with an ease that clutched the interior of the boy's heart, and with every little step she took towards him, those fingers dug in deeper and deeper.


Until it nearly popped once the term 'distance' became nothing more than a memory. For the menace of mashed together potential stood before Goten with her stature protruding proudly towards the sky, and the full hue of her emerald aspects enveloped in a glow that, well, just stunk of evil. Like, enough to clog up Goten's nose with just about the right level of stench to leave his little lungs tripping into overdrive with a sense of gunky fear. It was only a big, dumb shame that sensation was nothing compared to what overtook him once that fully filled figure dipped down and hooked a pinky under his collar, and gingerly took him right up with her. Yup. Face to face with his second mother.

"But, if I so care to, I can do something that will put her right over the edge and give me something that could be felt in my bones for YEARS to come! What do you say, son?" Quivering eyes ensues. "N... No?..." The curl of those light hued lips were just about the worst sign he could recieve. "Good answer. Now, it's time for you to be part of a very good show."

"OH NO YOU DON'T! POWER-POLE, EXTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEND AAAAANNNDDDD BEEEEENNNNDDDDD!" Like a red-hot streak of rage, the cylindrical shape of that powerful pole speared across the air and caught that very same collar! "Mom!" Taking the boy off of her pinky, and into the very same space of air Chi-Chi was exploding out of, Cell couldn't help but feel... a little impressed by how ballsy of a move that was. A fun little hint of what she's going to crush! Then, with a stirring and bright 'hmph', the entirety of that bitchy bug woman turned and faced the crashing form of female that was Chi-Chi!

"Shame you ruined what could of been a good trigger. Oh well, time to get down to business, wouldn't you agree?"

[2018/04/20]Fire Mountain Demon was careful not to snap her darling little off-spring's neck as she yanks him on back through the air, thankfully severing her from the poisonous umbilical cord that was Cell's twisted sense of motherly love. Like a fishing lure, she gradually reels Goten back into her awaiting arms, squeezing him in a more familiar, truly relieved hug of her own. A hailstorm of smooches and nuzzles would rain down on his spiked scalp, her fingers lovingly raking through his lovably turgid locks. Without even thinking, the boy returns that snuggle all the same, an anxiety dissipating whimper rolling out of his parched, constricted throat. "Mom...!!" "Shhhhh... it's okay. Mama's here now. Are you alright? Did she hurt you? Where's your brother?" "B-Back at Capsule Corp, but--" "Then go to him! Hurry! Hurry and don't you dare look back for anything! You'll be safer there!" "But...! But Mom! You--" "NOW, GOTEN! DO AS I TELL YOU AND GET OUT OF HERE ALREADY!"

The twinge of pain that shot through Chi-Chi's blazing spirit at having to raise her voice at Goten in hopes of persuading him to snap away from her was unrivaled. Goten's dinner plate sized eyes trained on Chi-Chi's face, glowering and scrunched like the angered visage of a Bengal tiger. Through that outward fury, however, even the youth could tell she had his best interests at heart, and genuinely wanted him to secure his own safety. So, against all parental attachment he had to her, he flattens his lips, knits his brow, and nods. Wrenching himself out of Chi-Chi's hold, he lances off into the distance. Albeit, looking back just once to see his treasured matriarch squaring off with the scariest woman in the world. Through sight-stealing tears, Goten silently bids her good luck, and then promptly vacates the area. Piccolo's sure to keep her eyes on him, confirming his complete and immediate dispersal of this place... even she doesn't want him hanging around for too long to witness this cataclysmic battle unfold.

Upon a slanted rock platform stood a proud mother of two, darling children that could very well unify the whole world under their combined efforts. One of them, an accomplished scholar already revered in an innumerable amount of places in this vast, spinning world. The other, a budding sprout, absorbing the experiences he goes through today and unconsciously using them to fortify himself for an even more dangerous, yet potentially lucrative tomorrow. Not a day goes by where she doesn't feel blessed to have them in her life, alongside her endearingly simplistic husband, whom she wouldn't trade for all the money in the world, regardless of how much she claims to need. Looming down, leaning down over a cliff-face perpendicular to where the wanton femme fetale was standing, stood the most despicable abomination ever to plague this planet. Countless timelines, countless cycles... and the only thing persistent of any of them is just how incorrigibly wicked this being was. And in this one, she sought to replace her role as a mother. This can't stand... no. This WON'T stand!

"You've triggered me ENOUGH today, Cell! Kidnapping my child, raiding the sanctity of my own home... endangering COUNTLESS LIVES with your mere existence! Just looking at you makes me want to VOMIT. To put it in layman's terms... I'm not here to fight you."

What follows is a showy display of passion infused kata, before finally settling into an articulate stance that would only compound the steadfastness that Chi-Chi so definitively radiated from her flaring pores. Her fiery aura fanning above her, with the faded silhouette of a familiar eternal dragon. She was already at 30% in Max State, so her gear looked like it'd pop off with the slightest breath. She was going to win [youtu.be] this. She had to. For her own sanity, and for the safety of the Earth, her fists raise once more to combat oncoming death given flesh and form! Wreathed in the sickly shroud of green.

"I'M HERE TO KILL YOU!! NRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!" She bellows once more, brandishing her prized Nyoibo as she valiantly plunges into the all-encompassing heat of battle! She wasn't that much of a fool that she thought she could take Cell in a hand to hand battle... not without weaknening her first. Her Power Pole would lead the way. Time to get creative.

[2018/04/20]Mama Cell: Could Chi-Chi truly overcome Cell and win this battle? Or will she fail and be forced to face the tremendous terror that ensues such a harsh conclusion? There's only one place where she could find such a thing, and to Cell, it was one of the sweetest things to taste. It was...

ＨＥＡＲＴ ＯＦ ＢＡＴＴＬＥ!

"THEN YOU BETTER NOT WASTE MY TIME!"

Exploding [youtube.com] off of her feet into a smear of disappearing motion, the stakes of the game were set in those first few seconds, and Chi-Chi better hope to not forget them if she wishes to keep everything about herself in one piece! With the depression of the dirt beneath her hopping heels, Cell's previously stomped spots became PITS that exposed just how much fertile pressure was being exerted! The Earth didn't matter in this bout! Nothing mattered except for the tang of battle! A tang she'd taste even as that unavoidable wind that overtook Chi-Chi's senses with a cutting gust spelled something out. For all the tricks she's going to pull off, there's still someone playing by the sick rules they put forward!

The bug-woman herself did find a sliver of a pickle arising. All of that extended mass was so tempting to strike, but where? Where? What place would do her the most harm with just a single solitary move, and then make her foaming for a chance to return all that delicious punishment? Ooh, there were a plethora of options, but in the end, Cell found the one that left her crown glowing with appreciation! The veil of speed put forward was thrown aside for a grand, glorious move that'd shatter the heavens like a set of cracking, crushed bones!

"HA!"

Meeting the might of that Mother in the air, the full stretch of abominable construction that provided Cell her form lost all of its smeared, smudged speed to instead bask in the spear-shaped burst of power that swirled off of her hard hammering kick! The direction of that concentrated, tensed malice in all of its flexed, bunched glory, was one of her hands! Precisely the select one that composed her left arm, and therefore, her left-leaning form of defense! One moment of attack, and only one outc-"BEND!" Riding again on that magnificent level of will, the Power-Pole's straightened mass twisted upward to eat the full fury of that strike and crumple Cell's toe inward, a crunch that left her foot tilting forward alongside the rest of ere'! Right onto Chi-Chi!

Opportunity wasn't a wasted mistress, with Cell turning that upset into an UPset that left her knee shooting right down at Chi-Chi's dome! Full of potential, and instead, CAUGHT by another bend of that pole that was stricken with so much force that it found itself nudged right up against Chi-Chi's own noggin a little! Now, the force of that move, and the previous ones, had left the route she was going to take down out of the question. Instead, the two of them were flying, HEADFIRST at the nearby wall of worn, worn rock! Oh well, they could just avoid that.

If they weren't already traveling at a RIDICULOUS SPEED!

[2018/04/20]Fire Mountain Demon had embodied everything Cell valued in a fighter of her caliber; strength, tenacity, willpower, insistence... Chi-Chi had been conditioned and bred with the WILL TO PERSEVERE! All the more delicious to break in that bitter end. However, such an immediate climax, Cell would find hard to achieve right away with Chi-Chi ingeniously countering her blows, and keeping her distance solid and spaced out with the elaborate usage of her Power Pole. That obfuscating collision, followed by a seamless sequence of counters and parries share in the air, would lead them crashing RIGHT THROUGH the nearest formation of terracotta, headfirst! Neither of them were too worse for the wear... a tickle for Cell, an annoyance for Chi-Chi, her BOILING hatred for the bug woman keeping her adrenaline pumping faster than ever before! As soon as they touch the ground, they spring back into the skies, Chi-Chi's weapon stubbornly clinging to Cell's dislocated ankle!

"MATCH!!" She barks out! In the millisecond it takes for her desires to channel through the eternal staff, it seizes itself even tighter around that ruined joint, as her hands begin to glow a familiar red. Cinders sparking and flashing before they BLAST AFLAME! FWOOSH! That enraged ember swirls and swallows the staff whole, lighting the Power Pole, and turning it into the Pyro Pole! In the midst of Cell's incredulity, her entire body is consumed in those wrathful, ki-fueled flames! Pushing her Max State up to 50%, Chi-Chi's limb guards BLAST off her body like the lid of a shrieking stove's pot! Speaking of shrieking, the ghastly howl that escapes Cell's lips in being burned so badly was unholy. A banshee would gain a serious inferiority complex upon hearing those strained pipes belt out such an ear-piercing, agonized wail. Music to Chi-Chi's ears.

"EXTEND!" is heard, and the Power Pole unquestioningly straightens itself out, and invariably lances itself forward... right into Mama Cell's sternum! KRKPANG! It just keeps going and going, dragging Cell along for the ride as she's violently railroaded through several more mountain formations, each one being met with an even greater acceleration of speed, until Chi-Chi stamps her foot onto the other end of the staff, causing the entire thing to wobble and bend, the very tip of it flicking upwards to crash into and hopefully shatter Cell's jaw, flinging her back into the air for another rush! From boulder to boulder she sprung, Chi-Chi's legs leading the way forward in hopes of catching the monstrous bug woman before she can get her bearings, and heal completely. With another air-shaking yell, she hurtles through the sky like the wrathful phoenix that she is, swinging her staff over her head like the world's deadliest crimson propeller! Allowing it to wind across her body, she SWINGS the length of it into Cell's hip! "DAAAIIITEEEENKUUUUUU!" What follows is an indiscriminate, relentless flurry of flaming staff strikes [youtu.be] that're accentuated, nay, PUNCTUATED by Chi-Chi's overflowing rage! A little different than her usual attack from Super DBZ, but eh. What can ya do.

The dizzying assault climaxes with a decisive, overhead swing of the Power Pole, CRASHING into Cell's crown with all the intent to break it! Try THAT on for size, Queenie! Cell's sent hurtling below... the entire landscape buckling underneath her as it erupts into an upwards tempest of debris and smoke, the impact registering for miles on end... if there's one thing Chi-Chi knows however, it's that even a smokescreen can't deter you! And so, she bravely plunges in, not knowing what lurks beneath that suffocating, stony mist below... hellbent on making Cell suffer. History repeats itself, it seems.

[2018/04/20]Fire Mountain Demon "Where are you, you bitch...!? Come on out... SHOW YOURSELF, SO I CAN PUT YER DAMN HEAD ON A PIKE!!" She roared into the darkness.

[2018/04/20]Mama Cell definitely had the knowledge of just what the capabilities of that pole were. It could move like a damned liquid, and channel an explosive like that with ease! At the level of precision she was handling it with, one could say it's more an extension of her own self instead of just a simple weapon! Someone else could say that's exactly what a weapon should be whenever someone wields it. Either way, the fury of that pole has resonated with Cell's own level of expectations, and excited the Bug as much as it peeved her to a new extent.

An extent that covered her from head to the tip of her toe with battered, beaten, and BRUISED nerve-endings that managed to right themselves the moment that pole was raised from their surface! Despite that level of unnatural regeneration, a certain pain had struck with those impacts, and with that damning ki that set her very evil soul aflame, her mind was programmed to remember it all. To the level that bared teeth in all of their grinding, kneading, and chomping couldn't dare to show off properly.

In short, she's a big mass of pissed off muscles. That currently has enough genetic memory to outmatch Chi-Chi in a few key ways if she cared enough to do so. Actually, she thinks she'll pull off one of those soon, for the shroud of smoky, smoky exhaust from that previous attack was getting to be a dreadfully boring sight, and for Cell, the very word boring was just about the worst thing she could be subjected to. Sucking in a hefty inhale and letting the tension in the air roll on, Cell found the words consuming her.

"KAIO-KEN TIMES... FIVE!"

The words of the hour, those were, and with the level of speed on display, they were just about the last words Chi-Chi could even comprehend before every aspect of Cell burst up and out of that mass of cloud like a PHOENIX with a REAL MOTHER OF A RIGHT-HOOK COMING OFF OF HER ARM! Yup, it was such a right hook that all of Chi-Chi's reflexes made her own right SPRING up with a pulse-shattering defense that came off with the words: "EXPAND!"

Fist against Mass! Cell against Chi-Chi! Flesh against Power-Pole! It was a struggle that came off with a tint that's as red as the fire beating within the both of their hearts! Especially within Cell's own mash-up of systems and functions! Seriously, her body's a damn bomb at this point that's waiting to BURST from the bout of strain that's overtaking it! She bets she could take much more, though! Enough to fully put her arm through that expanded Power-Pole!

"TIME FOR YOU TO FACE TRUE FEAR!"

[2018/04/20]Fire Mountain Demon had been too busy letting her blinding animosity lead her search to Cell... when in actuality, she didn't even need to look that far. Her fingers were wound around her staff tightly, refusing to let go of it as she keeps her stance low, her wild eyes trying to peer through the smoke in order to keep her pestering pursuit upon them. Right as those worryingly familiar words slice into, and reverberate around in her eardrums. She knows the Kaioken too!? She silently thanks the infectious convention of calling out your moves, that gives away Cell's position! That and well, ki sense. And her earrings were flashing like lanterns. Cell's super evil, is what I'm trying to say. Instinct leads the way, as she pivots around to intercept that manic assault with a decisive thrust of her own!

"EXPAND!" SHTHOOOOOOM! The ground-trembling shockwave that resounds from the collision is enough to make most rock formations surrounding them crumble into a pathetic, splintered heap! They simply can't take the force of Chi-Chi and Cell's fighting!... Though, as she was gradually forced back, even with her staff keeping her from getting CREAMED right now, Chi-Chi knew she couldn't keep this up forever... which meant she'd have to switch to the next phase of her plan. She just realized that she didn't bring any Senzu Beans with her, she was too wrapped up in her anger to realize... but going on the defensive with Cell is asking for her to heal through all that damage, and come back even stronger... so her next few blows needed to be pinpoint, decisive and overwhelming. Long enough for Piccolo to help out! She hopes to Kami she didn't accidentally wound her in all of this outlandish combat.

To Cell's intimidating claim, Chi-Chi responded with a smoldering glare, another command shooting out of her lungs in the form of a DRAGON'S SONG! "SPLIIIIIT!!" And thus, Cell's blown back by two things; the deafening timbre of Chi-Chi's voice, and another section of that scarlet staff splintering out, and catching Cell in the air to send her hurtling even farther away! Far... FAR away, far enough to allow the mom a chance to recuperate and plan accordingly. "Recede!" With yet another command, the staff shrinks to the size of a pencil. She deftly darts through the battlefield, using the fallen boulders and ruined landscape as cover... even going so far as to lower her own ki down to almost nil in order to properly hide her weapon in that crumbly, terracotta soil. With but a mere sequence, this fight had become a game of cat and mouse. [youtu.be] Chi-Chi was the prey? Then she'd be damn good prey!

From her crouched position, she casts her eyes across the war-torn battlefield, hoping to catch a sight of a familiar green namekian somewhere in this rubble.

[2018/04/20]Fire Mountain Demon: "C'mon, Pikkoro-cha... where are ya...!?"

[2018/04/21]Mama Cell: Nope. There wasn't a hint of green in the area that mattered in the slightest. Except for the grass. Which showed that there was still a good goddam chance that Chi-Chi was on something RESEMBLING a landmass that'd be present on Earth. That in particular was a train of thought that she'll have to return to when Cell comes back, with all of that unrivaled power in that insectoid frame probably being put to use in some planet-busting matter soon. Just how soon? Who the hell knows! Not Chi-Chi, as her mind is situated on figuring out whether that little spot of purple underneath a boulder was anything truly specific... oh, wait!

It's her turban!

Piccolo's turban was nestled underneath the loving, smooth embrace of a clump of boulders. Its spotless white is soiled by patches of dust that give off the impression that it wasn't dropped right this moment. Or, that it was taken off such a while ago that Chi-Chi might just feel like a fool for missing out on it! Too bad a thing like that couldn't be calculated, nor figured out. Even the... the weighted shoulders sitting just a few feet or so from that turban couldn't point to something explicit. Why, what would she do to figure it all out? While Cell is probably plowing right back to this very spot!?

"Chi-Chi."

A low voice then appeared from a spot that Chi-Chi didn't check before: The very place behind herself! With a following turn and tilt, she'd be able to figure out the very source of that voice. Piccolo! Yes, the green Namekian in her... half-buried flesh. Her head was popping out of the sand with her far-reaching arms burrowing right out with a twist of those damp green limbs. She almost looked positively silly. Which was pretty good considering the big ball of UNGODLY ki surging in the far, far distance. Oof. It was in bursts, however. Cell's form was recovering after that level of odd, disgustingly new straining occurred, and therefore she'd have to get her energy back to its fullest in increments. Helpful, helpful increments. The sort of ones that'd be good for building tension like the one in the air choking Chi-Chi a little.

"You're doing good out there. But get a hold of yourself! You can't blow this by getting too angry, or else you'll make a mistake you could of avoided. That understood?" Now the aspect of replying to this caught Chi-Chi's mind, and she was sure to shoot out a good enough reply in the appropriate time, before Cell came right back. With a puff of lung-damaging dust that came with the added aspect of an overwhelming SENSE of power, one thing was for sure, Cell wasn't going to let this little game impede her efforts! No sir!

A throw of her chest up, and a spread of her legs out, Cell's magnificent might began to find its formation in an awfully... destructive manner. Complete with cupped hands that came right together at the wrists, a daring stretch of the lips that gave off the full malice crackling in her mind, and a couple of oh so familiar words, the full efforts of Cell seemed to be bubbling up. Was Chi-Chi actually expecting her to go under every dumb little boulder!?

"KAME.... HAME...."

UH-OH! IT WAS HAPPENING! THE ULTIMATE VAPORIZER AT SUCH A PRESSURE THAT THE VERY BOULDERS THAT SHIELDED THEM BEGAN TO LIFT UP AND OFF THE GROUND, ALONG WITH NEARLY EVERYTHING ELSE NOT PROPERLY CONNECTED TO THE GROUND!

[2018/04/21]Fire Mountain Demon 's lip-bit expression of concentrated anxiety and exhaustion softened into that of weary relief, as she heard that familiar, femininely gruff voice grunt out from behind her. Never had she been more glad to see her old master! As she shoots out that justified, admonishing series of sentences, Chi-Chi dutifully nods to each and every single ounce of criticism the Namekian could spare in such a constrictive timeframe. She did her best to keep her voice as low as possible, doubting that even from miles away, Cell couldn't hear them... As much as she hates to admit it, even mentally, every one of Cell's senses were dangerously perfect."I know... I'm sorry. Sh-She just got to me, but I think I've got her on the run! She's gotten used to my staff fighting, which means everything I do from this moment on won't work on her anymore... here's what we're gonna do: charge your Makankosappo now! With both hands if you can, put as much power as you can spare into making that thing strike true! I'll keep Cell busy, so when I give the signal: FIRE. Aim for her head!"

"KAME...!!"

Oh shit. Before the duo realize it, the entire environment around them was beginning to shift and erode away underneath the WORLD ENDING PRESSURE THAT WAS CELL'S KI! "HAAAAAMEEEEEEE...!!" Four syllables now... there was no more time remaining! No second chances [youtu.be]! If Chi-Chi was going to pull out a win, she needed to do it NOW, OR NEVER!

"Gah-- DAMN IT! There's no time! Figures she'd run outta patience... Back me up, Pikkoro-cha, let's do this!" The wanton, muscled matron shouts, before rushing out of the remaining rubble with her hands flicking aflame; a holy orange glow surrounding her flexing digits as she makes her last charge forward. She had a plan of her own. Let's see if Cell's as adaptable as she so claimed to be! "EXPAND AND EXTEEEEEEEND! KAAAAA... MEEEEEEEEE...!!" With another decisive step, the mountainous crimson column that was the Power Pole ERUPTS from its subterranean prison, becoming an unconventional elevator/platform for Chi-Chi to step onto, surging up towards the heavens themselves! Rising higher, and higher, and ever higher... until Cell would be forced to either tilt her blast upwards, or warp! Both of which Chi-Chi was prepared for! Hopefully. To her credit, her Kamehameha can bend. If it connects, she can spare Earth from the resulting impact! She curls her palms towards her hip, letting every single remnant of ki she had remaining to prepare for her own cataclysmic blast, concentrating in the form of an azure sphere building in her hands... before mutating into a fiery orange!

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...!! MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!" With each enunciation of that timeless attack, her muscles would expand and bunch out further, undocking from each other and testing the limits of her current clothing as her Max State pushes from 60... to 80... all the way to a FLOORING 100%! This is it... ALL! OR! NOTHING! Her fangs would crunch into each other hard enough to unravel Katchin with a single bite! Chi-Chi's ferocious stare was reflected by Cell's manic, thoroughly unhinged grin... both of their voices would split the heavens themselves, as would them SMASHING their palm forwards, to let loose the strongest, most eternal, KAMEHAME--

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

Both of those beams fly high, and fly far, roaring through the sundered skies above to crash into each other with a DEAFENING collision! And already... Chi-Chi started to see the true extent of Cell's strength! She's thankful she apparently can't use Super Perfect yet... c-can she? Regardless of what she can and can't do, Chi-Chi had to stall her! Burning through her own spirit to keep that gilded pyric pillar pressed against its oppressor, in deluded hopes of overwhelming it... the most decisive beam struggle of both their lives! Through Chi-Chi's grunting and exertion, Cell's cackling could be heard across these destroyed acres they fought on. Their lightshow, seen from even farther than that. "I have to hand it to you, Chi-Chi! Out of ALL potential competitors I've seen, fought, and CONQUERED thus far... you're the first one to make this FUN! But... as the saying goes, all good things... must come to an end. NOW BEAT IT! AND TAKE YOUR PLANET WITH YOU!!" Another roar explodes through Cell's violet lips, another tsunami of energy rolling through her body, and pushing out of her hands! Little by little, her own beam started to overtake Chi-Chi's... drawing closer, and closer still, to coil her in the inescapable embrace of oblivion.

"Pi... Kko... Rooooooo....!! DO IT NOOOOOOOOWW!!!"

[2018/04/21]Mama Cell: Piccolo had to hand it to Chi-Chi, this plan had the word RISKY written all over it, and the woman was doing her best to make it seem like it had a pretty TIGHT chance of working. A tight, NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE chance of succeeding. And for Piccolo's high-flying sense of danger, it was actually a little exciting! No time to enjoy the thrill of this, though. For the Namekian's stiff sense of posturing left her knees bent and her forehead abuzz with expanding sparks of a tremendously gold hue! Higher and higher the level of might in those fingers soared up, just like the beam that's meeting Chi-Chi's own! Hell, Piccolo's footing was even giving way beneath her as a gust of applied pressure shot her right up!

Up and up the Namekian went with her hardened concentration not giving way to any momentary hits to the gut by a stone, or jabs to the sides from a piece of random debris. Just like the dome that encapsulated her noggin, NOT A THING WAS GOING TO PIERCE HER LIKE SHE'D PIERCE CELL! Now, time for the final move, the ultimate ACE in the hole that'd turn the tide of absolutely everything in this fight! "Haa........" Having stuck the landing with a spot of Ki keeping her afloat, Piccolo was just behind Cell's WAVE of pressure.

Funny how directions change about, huh?

They change just as much as the COURSE OF BATTLE! Feeling the very tone of her skin brightening at the level of heart-stopping KIon display, Piccolo's concentrated maw twisted into a fierce and furious snarl that came equipped with twin pupils that glowed with a sense of aggression that only a true former DEMON could put out! In accordance with the rotating sweep of her shoulder, the level of attention Piccolo drew to herself EXPLODED JUST LIKE HER KI! Catching Cell's confidence off-guard, a path for madness was FORGED!

"MAKANKOSAPPOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

A worthy word was bellowed outward with all of the throaty passion a Namekian of her stature could bring when her arm is being blasted forward to let loose pure, swirling, JUSTICE! Extending off of her finger in a straight path of complete VAPORIZATION, the air between Piccolo's power and Cell's entirety is cut before the final impact is made on a then wide-eyed wearing abomination. Cell had come to the realization of what JUST was happening as the beam caught her cellular structure in an inferno of bad nerves and complete and utter decimation. Expelling from behind her chest and right INTO the JOINTS that kept those arms up, it seems that the full glory of Piccolo's move had actually EXPANDED in effectiveness to compensate for the power pushed into it! Therefore... it basically left the very limbs holding up that Kamehameha flopping backward to slap that BITCH right in her manic, wide-eyed face!

"D-Damn it, this can't be happening! A SHODDY TRICK LIKE THAT COULDN'T HAVE WORKED ON A BEING LIKE MEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

That very same Banshee banishing wail of monstrous proportions cut into the air as Chi-Chi's Kamehameha shot forward with the figure of a daring, DANGEROUS DRAGON LEADING THE CHARGE INTO CELL'S VERY BEING! Crushing her into the very patch of dirt she was standing upon, it took less than a full minute before the deafening cry of broken perfection was completely consumed by the power of a mother scorned!

Oh, and Piccolo was thrown back by this, but seeing as she still has her ass in one piece, everything's fine. Just that she's currently caked in the dust that usually arrives with an astounding victory like this!

[2018/04/21]Fire Mountain Demon 's soul knew it had one more thing to do, the moment the satisfying howl of Piccolo's prized special attack graced her ringing ears, and struck through its target with a satisfying ZRKRAHNG! Just one more push... for Gohan! For Goten! FOR HERSELF! The sheer intensity of this battle would obfuscate her pupils, fating into the void of her snow-white sclera as she rolls her head, and STAMPS forth upon the surface of her Power Pole, an UNHOLY roar leaving her now shredded throat and quivering vocal cords, as she pours everything she has left into her attack! Causing her to tip backwards in that familiar, struggling pose, from all the way back in the Saiyan Saga. Her hubby would DEFINITELY be proud of her at this moment! "HHHRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGH!!" Her draconic wail would supercede Cell's pathetic little death cry, overwhelming it just as that righteous orange beam overwhelms her, subjecting her to a painful and INFERNAL death, for her transgressions against Mankind! Against her children! Against LIFE!

It just wouldn't stop. The luminescent titian blade would continue to pierce through the open skies, an unyielding force that grows wider, and wider still! Making absolute sure that not a SINGLE ATOM of Cell's would remain in this plane of existence... that her victory, once again, would be seen by thousands, and unappreciated by millions. The destructive wave cutting through to the stratosphere, and immediately dissipating once it phases into the obsidian void that is space. Eventually, even the Power Pole would buckle under this chaotic flux in energy, and it shrinks back to normal, causing Chi-Chi to slip off her own weapon, and send herself into a meteoric descent, crashing back into the upturned Earth below her! What remains of the battlefield, is now a mile wide crater... with the exhausted, motherly warrior lying in the epicenter of the fissured, concave bowl. The ground rumbles and groans quietly, still reeling after that death-defying battle... Chi-Chi, gasping for breath as her muscles gradually recede to normal. Emphasis on gradual. Every intake of oxygen served to irritate her burnt lungs... and stab her in her sternum. Her bones ache, pleading for this to be over. To finally be over. She hadn't taken too many this entire battle, thanks to her blinding tenacity. But she bled regardless. Old wounds opening up, and oozing with the boiling, burgundy liquid that is her blood. She could barely see, as she struggles to keep her eyes open so's not to succumb from the exhaustion of it all.

...Ah. She remembers now. [youtu.be] This... must've been how Gohan felt, with his own victory over his own Cell... she remembered how happy she was for him, how she'd rush to hug him despite his injuries. In her silent pondering, she wondered... if he'd been there, would he had done the same for her?... Granted, she felt like she had everyone backing her in that last attack. Gohan, Goten... even her beloved Goku. Their spirits were with her, even though they were all too far away right now. Her panting started to subside, a wounded frown slowly curling into a satisfied grin, ragged breathing replaced with quiet chuckling. She can't sense her anywhere. Cell was gone. 17 and Cell are dead. She won. She... She won! Her subdued giggling would grow into an exuberant laugh, and then erupting into an utterly joyful guffaw of the absurdity of it all! Her, a mere human... took down two Androids by herself! Back in her timeline, she'd had no hope of keeping up with Frieza or Cell, or any other super powered being that sprung up in her turbulent life. But look at her now! Lying in her own self-made crater, crystallized in her decisive victory! Her laughing would soon grow intermixed with relieved sobbing, stinging tears of gratitude cascading down her scarred cheeks over this nightmare being over.

Breaking most of your bones never felt so good.

...WAIT! THAT'S RIGHT! She'd take a moment to rigorously wipe her eyes clean of her tears, lifting her head, and rolling it left and right in hopes of catching a glimpse of Piccolo! She didn't... she didn't crush her, did she?! Just as Chi-Chi pushed herself to try and stand--

"Seriously? After all that, you're still trying to move? Stay down, dammit. And rest easy." Ah... there she was. Squatting at the rim of the crater. This time with an unequivocable smile plastered on their virescent visage. From her perspective, it's just as strange... she didn't think ANY Chi-Chi had the potential to achieve so much in such a short time. Her guy self had been a stick in the mud for roughly half his life in comparison to this living dynamite, that just took down a god damn Android. With her help, of course! With a smooth motion, Piccolo steps off the edge to slide down towards the crater, and trot to a stop near her fallen comrade. They share a concerned stare. "So? Any... urgh... s-sign of her? Did she survive that? " "...I'm more well rested than you are, so sensing ki of that magnitude is paltry for me, and I can tell you with all certainty, Chi-Chi. She's gone. Utterly and completely gone. The day is ours. Congratulations." "....If only...." "Eh?" "...If only I... could go back to my own time, before such an event happened... maybe, like this... I could've stopped Cell, too." "There's no greater waste than dwelling on what's already done. It wouldn't even be your time. Let's just be thankful you managed to do it here. Let no one doubt yous trength anymore. Not even yourself." "Pi... Pi--k-k.. korro...! Uwaaaaah...!!"

Argh, again with the waterworks. Well, can't help it, I guess. Suppose she should let her finish, and help her get out of this eyesore of an arena.
[2018/04/21]Fire Mountain Demon was, naturally enough, flown home [youtu.be] with Piccolo's help. Along the way, Goten and Gohan joined them, naturally looking tickled pink to see their beloved mother alright, despite being so battered; the pride beaming from their cheek spreading smiles is readily apparent! She was struggling not to cry again, only shooting them a silent, satisfied smile in return, as the four warriors return home... just in time for dinner, too! It's Gohan's turn to cook tonight!

The Earth...

The Galaxy...

The Universe...

All can rest easy. At least for the time being. This world has a new cross-dimensional wayward protector, should their aid be needed. If Goku, Vegeta, and all the other Z Fighters don't respond to the call... then Chi-Chi damn well will! Into the sunset they fly... off on another adventure! Off on another crusade! Into... tomorrow!

"Sooo... this is where she lives, then? My word. I remember this place looking MUCH more well kept. Hmph! Unacceptable!"
"Oh, c'mon, honey! Be nice! Doesn't this place make you feel nostalgic, at the very least?"
"Absolutely not! At this point in my life, I'd rather be caught dead in a ditch than this place! We deserve better, and now we have better!... Still. At the rate she's going, she's going to become as strong as I am. Can't have that, now can we?"
"'Guess not... even though it'd be pretty fun, if ya ask me. TWO super strong versions of you!? Imagine all the training we could get done!"
"YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO TRAIN ANYMORE! NOW HUSH!"
"Heheheh, okay, okay!~"

"....Comiiiiing! Be right down!" Responded Chi-Chi in earnest, just having put Goten to bed, and Gohan having left an hour earlier. It was just her now... however, as she comes over, clad in her pajamas to answer the door, she's met with a jaw-dropping sight. Those uniforms... A Hakaishin and their Angel! But their faces...!?

"WH.... Who ARE you!?"
"...You can't be serious. Ever look in a mirror?"
"Go... ku-sa...!?"
"Hiya, Chi-Chi!~"
"...Fufufu, I'm you, genius."
