>>5685047With a minor effort of will you tap into that demonic power, letting it wash over and through you. Transforming you into the demonic-empowered Supervillain state as Trunks closes the distance. He raises the blade overhead into both hands, swinging it down in a cut that would have bisected you. But with this power you simply raise both of your arms horizontally, tanking the hit on your Energy Body. His divine energy barely penetrates your armor, not even touching you. And without much effort pull your arms apart, overtaxing his sword and snapping in into three pieces. His eyes widen in surprise, but you don't even bother following it up. Instead, focusing once more on Cell, you feel several massive powerlevels all relatively close to him. You sense that monster, of course, but also Future Chaya as well as a few other powers you vaguely remember as other Time Patrollers. Looks like the situation's gotten out of hand.
“Stay out of my way, I have a job to do.” you say to Trunks, and instead of attacking him simply raise your right hand to your forehead. And with a thought teleport directly to Cell's side, crimson aura blazing up around his golden one as he combines that Golden power with the strength multiplier of the Kaio-Ken. But the monster you were EXPECTING to see standing there before Cell isn't the same. In fact, the creature standing there now barely resembles the one you'd seen Zamasu take from another timeline earlier. Its stature is far shorter, body shaped entirely different and with a head antennae between its horns of the same color “Cell, what happened?”
“Ah, Karn. There you are.” Cell says, clutching the stump of his right arm with his left. With a shout he regenerates the limb, his powerlevel dropping by a noticeable chunk. “Let's just say that things have gotten... Complicated.”
Well, at least it can't get much weirder than this. Right?
