Super Dragon Ball: Paradise Hysteria

The King's Gambit

With crossed arms and a pissed-off façade permanently fixed on his face, Vegeta landed on the top of a blue stalagmite spike sticking upward from the sandwiched planetoid. After looking around, the Saiyan king tried to determine where the challenge that Cell had left for him was, but only a howling gale brushed against his cheek and disturbed the silence. There was an eerie noise of water dripping from the colossal stalactites above.

"Enough!" Vegeta barked out, jumping off the stalagmite he had landed to rest on and waving his hand. The Saiyan monarch hurled an arcing Ki blast that rammed into the blue rock ceiling hanging above him, looking like gigantic stalactites, blasting clean through the rock and off to the other side. Upon blowing through the upper half of the planet, the resulting shrapnel of the blast merely hovered weightlessly above the rock, eventually becoming part of a trailing ring of debris that surrounded the quirky planet.

"Where's this supposed challenge that Cell has left behind for me!? Come out and face me already! Show me how Cell rates the battle power of the King of all Saiyans!" Vegeta demanded, clenching his fists with so much tension that they shook in front of him and created a visible energy ripple around them, causing the entire surrounding system of blue stalactites and stalagmites that connected the two split halves of the planet to quake and crumble from Vegeta's radiating pressure.

Vegeta turned his attention to some rustling beneath him. Then, the King of Saiyans glanced behind him, at the top of the upper floating half of the planet. Hiding behind the mountainous rocks were impish little creatures: armored from head to toe in an insectoid-like outer shell, clad in black wings that extended to chest and shoulder armor with tiny blue horns protecting a visible black core. The faces of the giggling menaces were pale but coated in a yellowish outline with purple lines on their cheeks. Vegeta moved his arms by his sides and split his legs apart, taking off the rocky mound peak and hovering in between the two levitating halves of the jagged, blue rock planet, enlightened by the scarlet glow of the gigantic, exposed planetary core hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.

"Come on!" Vegeta taunted the little creatures. "Don't be shy now, show me what you've got!" he taunted them while revealing that he was aware of their presence.

The Cell Jrs all dashed out of their hiding spots at once, revealing there to be at least four assailants who mingled in between one another and took their time circling and repositioning around Vegeta before one of them finally engaged the King of Saiyans in battle. The first Cell Jr. to become bold enough to attack charged in with a headbutt, ramming Vegeta with its small blue horns, only to slam against Vegeta's hands offering a brief power struggle.

The rushing Cell Jr. burst with a white Ki aura, putting additional gusto into his head-first rush, but Vegeta answered with a burst of his own aura at once, evening the odds. The Cell Jr. flashed with a golden aura, becoming a radiant beacon bright enough to glimmer from space and register in the power readings of the abandoned Capsule Corps spaceship that Vegeta arrived in, only for the Saiyan King to follow suit, exploding with a luminous golden aura as a sizzling wave of energy washed over the Saiyan royalty, turning his hair gold and his eyes teal as it passed across his body.

The booming aura of the Cell Jr. became reddish in hue, attaining a scarlet outline as the Cell Jr's features became a twisted distortion of its neutral expression, whereas Vegeta's aura matched the unbridled intensity of the malicious imp, developing an electrical sparkle and a potent electromagnetic field that shorted out the Capsule Corps spaceship and any vessels passing through the star system with a calamitous electromagnetic shockwave rip.

The violent, unending power struggle wrapped up in a ferocious nova of energy, blasting in the outer region of the planet, sandwiched between two gargantuan landmasses. The force of the rip flung both combatants away violently, tumbling them uncontrollably. While both Vegeta, who lost the Super Saiyan 2 glint and aura and returned to his base state, and the Cell Jr. corrected their trajectories mid-air, a pair of other Cell Jrs slammed their knees into Vegeta's sides, shocking the flinched Saiyan before they continued their vicious assault.
