END OF ROUND
Hours passed.
Cell watched from the tower balcony. Seventeen, tired, laid in wait in one of the cots behind him. He could feel the gaze of the wise old Watchman behind him, as if studying the back of the perfect android.
"They are coming," he heard the old man whisper. "Any moment now, we will see them."
Cell only nodded. He was watching the fight below him. Hours passed and still the battle raged on. Bardock and Kao had pushed themselves beyond their normal limits, to the very brink of pain and death.
"Your time here is up, Android 21," the Watchman continued. "I have one final task for you."
The android remained calm. He surely did not understand what was being told, but something about the old man made him agree, for no other reason but for the sake of it. "Tell me," he said.
"The fight down there must end. Bardock will not win. Kao must not be permitted the victory."
Cell turned around suddenly, realizing the rash decision the Watchman was making. "What?!" Even though the old man had been very vague, Cell knew immediately what was being said.
"I know what I am doing. All I can ask if that you have faith that it is the right move."
Cell took a few moments. His decision wasn't made until a few minutes later, when he could see a reddish brown figure atop the hill in the distance. Behind it, an army of tortured bodies. War was finally here.
The Android lept off the balcony, and the Watchman smiled.
Down below, Kao had Bardock in a headlock. The two would wrestle for all entertity if nessecary, but Cell was on a mission. A plan to end the fight before the real one would begin.
When Cell hit the two fighters, he self destructed into oblivion. He had faith that the Watchman knew exactly what he was doing.
Quote:9. Cell - DEAD
16. Bra - Wins Refined Ore Processing
19. Bardock - DEAD
Kao - DEAD
(Apologies for not going more into the Kao-Bardock fight. I felt it would take away from the planned ending. If Bardock wishes to write more of it up, I'll happily edit it in)
