Super Dragon Ball: Paradise Hysteria

Saved By The Stars

"Damn it!" Lazuli cursed while plunging lower and closer to the ground level, approaching the charred and jagged floor of the decimated Planet Caterpillia. A glance at Krillin's pitiful state confirmed to her that his stare was spaced out and his skin was going pale. Krillin was losing a lot of blood and didn't have as much time as Lazuli would've wanted to spend hiding. She needed to get onto the ship and get off this planet as soon as possible, but that would be exactly what Cell would think she'd do.

Meanwhile, wearing a pleasant smile on its face, Cell pressed its feet to the floor with a rubbery squeak and confronted the bundle of Caterpillian soldiers rushing at him from rocks and flattened villages with multiple spears per soldier to occupy the many pairs of arms. Cell jumped into the fray, dispatching of a handful of Caterpillian troopers with backhanded smacks that blew the tops of their bodies off and splattered them into thick goop while making their armored shells crack into tiny bits from one blow.

Cell's tail wrapped around the segmented head of one Caterpillan soldier and simply pulled it off, throwing it away before the stinger plunged into the open wound and drank the twitching insectoid corpse like an exotic fruit cocktail drunken directly from the fruit itself. The unfortunate insectoid alien withered away and its armored shell collapsed on the ground with a hefty thud with Cell having completely emptied all of its innards.

The terrified Caterpillans who had lost everything at the hands of this terrifying Bio-Android invader and those strange humanoid aliens that Cell fought earlier shivered in terror as Cell exclaimed a pained grunt and wrapped itself into a curl, hovering in mid-air. The outline of the slowly rolling Bio-Android lit up with bright light as Cell pumped and grew in size while undergoing a physical transformation by assimilating the Caterpillan cells inside its vast genetical network of cells.

Cell exclaimed in cheer as it straightened its body out and spread its arms and legs out in an energetic stretch. Cell's body had gained an additional armored section and grown a pair of fangs that stuck out from its beak. In addition, Cell's armor now looked cerulean blue with darker blue spots littered throughout. Cell also sported an additional pair of arms. This transformation would not last, however, as the Bio-Android stretched its tail out and widened its stinger, dropping a handful of black, round orbs.

The baffled Caterpillans observed as a handful of cackling, menacing dwarves rose from the ground. They had elongated, segmented bodies with multiple pairs of arms and antennae sticking out from the jewel in the core of their armored horn headdress. Some of the Cell Jrs produced based on the genetic blueprint of the Caterpillan DNA were blue, while a handful were thicker and larger with green armor. Each Caterpillan Cell Jr. boasted bestial fangs more than capable of ripping apart flesh or crushing armored shells protecting soft tissue and guts inside of it.

"Go, Cell Jrs, prove to these nincompoops that Cell is the apex predator of this universe," Cell directed its newly born brethren and they obeyed, lunging at the Caterpillans and ripping them apart with brutish strength, crushing their shells and heads inside their massive jaws and grinding their prey to mush with their terrifying canine-style teeth. "Hmm... Maybe an extra pair of arms might have been useful?" Cell observed the reverted changes to its physical form before turning to its little genetic descendants. Ever obedient to their more genetically advanced superior, the Cells Jrs dragged a battered and still twitching Caterpillan, missing a few limbs that a pair of Cell Jrs farther away were digging into.

Cell plunged its stinger into the back side of the dying Caterpillan and began to pump its genetic material and flush it back into Cell's body. For the second time Cell underwent the physical transformation after assimilating the Caterpillan cells, however, this time, the transformation was milder as Cell merely grew an extra set of arms and made the armored shell protecting its body more segmented to give itself more flexibility and provide its body a chain-mail-like protective effect.
