"Cell?!" Gohan blurted.
"Gohan! So nice to finally see your grown visage in person. How 'lovely'..."
"Cell... How did you come back to life too?!" Gohan asked, clenching his fists.
"Is every one of our old enemies just resurrecting now? This has got to be a joke." Vegeta commented.
"Hahaha! Well, how do you think I came back to life?" Frieza said.
"Yes. I was ordered by Lord Beerus to resurrect this warrior after having a discussion with North Kai and King Yemma." Whis admitted.
"For good reason, I assure you. This warrior is extraordinarily powerful and I've been told his abilities would come very much in hand. Regeneration and the ability to grow in power throughout fighting like a Saiyan does is quite a boon. After all, don't think the other universes have gotten slack! Jiren's definitely worked to get stronger since the last time and you know he'll be gunning for Team Universe 7 just to fight Goku!" Beerus says.
"He's definitely different... and those colors... it's just like..." Gohan started.
"Yes! Indeed! I'm Perfect Cell Max now! Or is it Maximum Perfect Cell? Super Maximum Cell? Still haven't worked that out but isn't that wonderful!? You see, after you slayed that variant of me the portly one made, those Oni in charge of the afterlife didn't have a clue what to do with its soul. After all, that much power made it very hard to deal with. So let's just say, I agreed to take it on for myself, and gained that power for my own! I feel even stronger than what you killed was. We might even be equal now!" Cell explained.
But the Bio-Android shook his head.
"Aw! Fret not. I'm not planning on KILLING you all with this power. Not yet, at least. You have that much off your shoulders for now. I heard there was a special tournament going on, and I admit, I'm interested. It's been too long since I've had a good fight. That's all I want, really."
"Cell... you might be a "teammate" this time... but don't think you're off the hook once it's over." Gohan says.
"Oh no. I wouldn't dare. After all, we've got some scores to settle once all is said and done ourselves." Cell says with a smirk; "And I'm looking forward to it. Maybe after we're done with this, we can catch up. I even hear you're raising a family these days, Gohan. Maybe you can introduce me..."
"Not a chance, Cell. After this tournament's over, you and me. We'll find a spot."
"That's the spirit, boy."
