[1] Group 2 - Military Base

[Burter]

END OF ROUND

"Intruder! Intruder! Intruder!"

Eight heads turned. Someone or something had trigger an alarm.

"Self Destruct Active."

This perked their interests a bit. Android Eighteen went to the control panel, but was admittedly clueless where to start. Everything was flashing like crazy. Cell hurried outside the room, onto one of the large bridges to look down upon the machine. As he had expected, it was flashing as well, though considering the size of it, it was more like the room was flashing.

"Know anything about de-activating bombs?" Bra asked, as she was the first to join him out there. Everyone else was slowly following.

"Yea," he admitted. "There's a lot of obscure stuff I know."

"It's probably just a hoax to get us riled up. Brim wouldn't let his show be ruined by this." Rad told them, looking over the side as well. The fiery chasm down below didn't look very comfortable.

Cell stepped towards the side of the bridge. "That's not a risk I'm willing to take." With that, the bio-android lept off the bridge, flying downwards towards the machine.

Raditzu wasn't going to admit it out loud, but Cell had a point. What if this wasn't a hoax? The long-haired saiyan was the second person that lept off after him, followed by Gohan and Goten.

-----

Cell agressively punched the rough metal three times to make a sizable hole. He slipped in easily, but Rad decided two more punchs would make it more comfortable for his hair to fit through. Gohan and Goten stayed outside of the huge machine, looking in.

The beeping was becoming more and more annoying. Rad had already punched two alarms inside the machine, but even he couldn't manage to find every single one. Cell had by now made short work of several wires.

As if by perfect timing, one of the clamps holding the bomb up from above the chasm let go, causing the machine to rock on only one hinge. "What did you do!?" Rad asked, pointing an accusing finger.

Cell pulled one final wire. "Aha! Deactivated!"

The final clamp released.

The bomb set off in mid-air. Thanks to Cell's work, it was only an average bomb rather then one that could have demolished everyone. Still, the two warriors were trapped inside it, and were forced to leap up. A shock hit Raditzu as they traveled up, and despite his awesome power, he keeled over to the random shockwave. Cell looked back when he got to the hole. Rad was moving slower, and the bomb's effect had already crushed most of the robotics. Cell brought his hand and grabbed Rad, pulling him through first.

Android Eighteen had leaped off the bridge the moment she saw the huge machine fall towards the fiery chasm below. It was perfect timing, as she tackled Raditzu in mid-air as if trying to rescue the already saved saiyan. She felt him almost collapse in her touch, and soon she realized it WAS collapsing...as if he was melting.

The machine landed into the lava-filled pit with a devasting 'boom' , causing yet another display of fireworks. The peices of metal caused much annoyance for the group. Android Eighteen had grabbed the younger Goten as well as Rad, assuming Gohan was good enough to make it on his own. She slipped under a small crack, unaware that it was caving in, seperating them.

Cell flew upwards, also unaware what was going on. Bojack, Bra, and Trunks met him half way. Gohan had been hit by one of the stray metal peices, and was sent barrelling off course, into the lava pit.

After all the commotion, Rad looked up to see two confused faces. He looked at his own body, realizing what they were so shocked about. His hand was changing shape, first a book, then a hammer, and finally reverted back his lovable hand.

"Well," he said, equally as shocked, "That was odd."
