The group had descended onto the ground so Goku and Mito could have a sparring match. Goku was all excited while the others were skeptical. As they should be. After all Mito looks just like Cell and is his replacement. Not exactly trustable material. But they can't be quick to judge just yet. As they landed on the ground, Goku was so giddy for this fight. Mito stood across from the group with his arms crossed and a calm expression on his face. Goku began stretching his body in preparation for the battle.
"Alright! I want you to come at me with everything you got!" Goku says with a smile on his face while he stretches.
"You sure? I am quite powerful." Mito asks, his expression never wavering.
"Of course. How else can I gauge your power?" Goku asks back while he finishes his stretching.
Goku then swiftly moves into his battle stance with a grin on his face. His blood was pumping with excitement. Mito unfolds his arms and calmly moves into his own battle stance which mirrored Goku's. The Saiyan saw this and was interested to see just how much like himself Mito was. Considering he no doubt has his cells. As these two maintain their battle stances, the others decided to get to a safer distance just in case. Vegeta didn't think much of this new Cell considering they're not much stronger than Cell. He was only watching to see what Goku does.
The silence between the two is then shattered as both fighters suddenly charge at the other. The clash in the middle with a punch. Their fists colliding in the middle creating a shockwave that cracks the ground. Goku had a smile as did Mito. They both throw another punch that collides like the last one before they pick up the pace before they begin rapidly exchanging blows that all collide. Goku vanishes and reappears behind Mito and tried to kick him. Mito let Goku's kick nearly hit his head before he shot his left arm up and grabbed his leg. He then throws Goku forward to gain some distance. Goku flips around and lands on the ground safely but does a backflip to gain more distance.
Mito then charges him with a fist ready and punches Goku who blocked it with his arms. Goku chuckles in triumph before swinging his arms aside and going to punch Mito. The Bio Android dodges this and knees Goku in the gut simultaneously. Goku is flung backwards before he decides to blast off into the sky. Mito flares up his aura and gives chase. Mito charged and went to punch but Goku put his fingers on his forehead and vanished. Mito knew what this was so he stopped and looked around. He was then dropkicked from behind. This caused Mito to be flung a small distance before he turned around to see that Goku had hit him from behind.
"If data is correct, that would be Instant Transmission. Correct?" Mito asks.
"yep." Goku confirms. "But from what I know, Cell could use it too. So can-"
Mito quickly uses Instant transmission and gets behind Goku before he quickly sledgehammers him down towards the ground with great force. Goku nearly hit the ground but he stopped himself and blasts off back into the sky. He returns to Mito's altitude and chuckles a little.
"Guess that answers my question." Goku said. "But I can tell your not at full power."
"I could say the same thing, Son Goku." Mito says.
"Alright, how about this. We both go full power and duke it out. Sound like a deal?" Goku asks, trying to make this fight more interesting.
"I'm down. But don't say I didn't warn you." Mito said.
Goku smiles before his aura flares up. He lets out a mighty roar as his hair turns yellow and begins to spark with electricity. He continues his war cry before his hair begins to grow longer. With one mighty shout, his now golden aura explodes off him as he enters Super Saiyan 3. his eyebrows now gone indicating he's fully transformed. Mito raised an eyebrow in interest.
"My, my. What would this form be?"
"I call this Super Saiyan 3. I used this against Majin Buu." Goku said, his voice a bit deeper. "Now, show me your true power!"
Mito just chuckles before taking a stance.
"You asked for it." Mito said before his white aura explodes off him.
He begins to bellow as his aura grows ever more intense. He gets louder as a golden aura appears around him before it explodes into a mighty golden aura, he bulked up a little from this but keeps going. Everyone else on the ground is stunned sensing this. His power is skyrocketing beyond Cell's power.
"H-His power. It's far beyond Cells!" Piccolo said.
"Is he even at full power?" Gohan asks in awe.
Vegeta looks on with wide eyes. Mito lets out a great mighty roar as his aura explodes once more, this time with electricity. A golden glow illuminating him before his aura calms down and he stops his mighty roar. Now at full power, he looks at Goku with a grin. Goku looked stunned. He did not expect this kind of power. It's making him excited.
"Well, here it is. My true power." Mito said.
"Amazing. I had no idea you were so powerful, Mito." Goku compliments. "This is making me excited."
"I could say the same thing, Goku." Mito said, cracking his neck.
Mito then suddenly rockets towards Goku, and gut punched the Saiyan causing Goku to cough up saliva. But the Saiyan grabs Mito's other arm and spun him around, throwing him back a good distance. Goku then cups his hands.
"KAAAA.... MEEEEE.... HAAAAA... MEEEEE..." Goku chants, charging his attack as he pulls the orb back.
Mito stops himself and sees this, so he threw his hands aside and charged up Ki. Goku sees this and waits as he's curious what he's going to do. But on the ground, the group recognizes the attack. Well Vegeta does.
"That looks like my Final Flash." Vegeta mumbles.
Mito threw his wrist together and a yellow orb of energy formed.
"FINAL FLAAAASH!!!!" Mito shouts, firing the powerful beam of Ki.
"HAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Goku shouts, firing his Kamehameha Wave.
The yellow and blue beams clash in the middle, creating a massive force of wind and shaking the area around them. Even though they're in the sky, the ground under them breaks under the pressure of the wind and their power. The group looks on in awe and shock. They need to shield themselves from the intense winds created by this attack as the land around them is illuminated in a blue and yellow light. The others around the world sense this battle and are questioning what it is. But as the beam struggle rages on, both warriors seem to be evenly matched.
Mito looked to be struggling but soon gets a smile on his face before he lets out a mighty roar as his aura flares up, tapping into more of his Perfected Super Cell form's power. This begins to overpower Goku who takes notice and presses more power into his attack. Even Goku gets a smile on his face. They're both enjoying this battle. The beams continue their struggle until Mito suddenly launches a massive blast into his Final Flash. Upon contact with the Kamehameha wave, both the Final Flash and this burst of energy ripped through the beam. Goku cancels his attack and quickly dashed out of the way. The blast raced up into the sky before exploding. This explosion caused all the clouds to be dispersed or vaporized. Goku looked on amazed before turning to Mito who had a smile on his face.
"That was quite an attack. Your awesome!" Goku declares.
"Well thank you. I figured this little beam struggle of ours was getting nowhere so I saw to end it." Mito said.
"I couldn't agree more. So how about we end this sparring match with a bang?" Goku asks.
"Bring it!" Mito shouts before he charges Goku.
He throws a punch, but it's blocked by Goku who grins. He throws his own punch, but Mito catches it. The two share a grin before they push off each other. Diving at each other again, they began to rapidly exchange blows from punches the kicks in midair. Each clash results in a shockwave. On the ground, everyone looks on in amazement.
"So this is the power of Mito? Gotta say, I'm a little worried." Piccolo said, his stern look ever present but his amazement evident in his voice.
"I know. But this feels weird." Gohan said, sharing his opinion. "Cell was evil, but his replacement is good?"
Vegeta just crosses his arms as he glares up at the battling warriors.
"If he steps out of line, I'll kill him myself." Vegeta declares.
The group then senses multiple powers arriving behind them. They turn around and see Tien, Krillin, Yamcha, and Android 18.
"hey guys." Gohan greets with a smile. "What are you doing here?"
"We sensed a HUGE power level alongside Goku's." Yamcha said.
"Who's he fighting anyway?" Tien asks, looking up.
Krillin narrows his eyes. Goku and Mito stop clashing and both send a kick at each other, but it clashes against one another, sending a shockwave out and forcing the two back. They charge back in and begin to rise further into the sky with each clash. Krillin began shaking in terror.
"I-is that Cell!?" Krillin asks panicked.
18 has the hardest glare on Earth as she sees this. Tien and Yamcha looked scared too.
"No. It's Cell's replacement." Gohan corrects.
"Replacement? D-does that mean he's-" Yamcha spoke but was quickly cut off
"No, he's not here to kill us. For once." Piccolo said, crossing his arms, his attention of the newcomers.
The battle above never stops.
"You sure we can trust 'em?" Android 18 asks.
"Not sure, but dad is putting a lot of faith in him." Gohan said, looking like he isn't all onboard with it.
"That's Goku." Yamcha jokes, looking up at the battle.
Goku gets punched in the jaw before he notices the newcomers. Mito was about to attack again but saw the newcomers and stopped.
"Friends of yours?" Mito asks.
"Yeah." Goku said before looking at him. "Think we can call it here?"
"Hm, sure." Mito said, dropping his Perfected Super Cell form.
Goku drops Super Saiyan 3 and descends down to meet the others. Mito joins him, but as he lands, everyone gets ready to fight. Well, everyone except Vegeta, Gohan and Piccolo. Seeing everyone's hostility Goku gets in front of Mito to try and mediate peace.
"Hey guys calm down! He's not gonna hurt anyone!" Goku desperately shouts.
"And why should we believe that?" Android 18 asks, being the most hostile.
Having been absorbed by Cell doesn't exactly give her trust for Cell or a Cell look-alike.
"You gotta trust me on this one. I have good faith that he'll become a very important ally in battles to come; I just know it." Goku said, placing his hand on Mito's shoulder.
18 locks her glare onto Mito who was looking right at her. They kept this stare for a few moments as the tension never wavered. Mito didn't appear to be affected by the glare while 18 glared with hatred. Mito was the splitting image of Cell besides the color difference. She sighs with irritation before turning around with her arms crossed.
"Fine. But if he tries anything, he's done for." Android 18 said.
"Sweet! Thanks 18."
"Don't mention it."
Mito remained silent as he looked at Android 18. He knows all about Cell's absorption of Androids 18 and 17 so he can understand their animosity towards him. He isn't happy about it, but what can he do? He doesn't want to make things worse, so he'll let Goku handle things from here. Although he is sad that their sparring match was cut short, he's anticipating the next one.
