Shine! 18 takes in Cell

18 surprised herself by how well she was dominating the fight. Was Imperfect Cell really that weak, or was the training that Goku gave her just that much of an edge? They didn't have much time, but maybe it was enough given all the other modifications that Dr. Gero had done to her.

Or was Cell holding back?

The slimy android seemed to be smiling throughout the fight, even as she beat the ever-living crap out of him. He taunted her and talked, looking for the right moment to devour her. He raged about losing 17 and his progress towards perfection, but once he had her in his stomach, 17 would be so much easier to reacquire.

"You are so going down, you filthy little bug!" 18 roared in anger, an aura of power flaring around her.

Cell's grin slowly faded, a confused look crossing his face. "What's going on? Why am I detecting a power level from you? You're an android, not a human. What did they do to you while I was fighting the dimension walker?"

18 launched an unending barrage of power, and when it was over, Cell was missing large chunks of himself. Of course, she knew he would just regenerate, so she renewed her barrage. Her tail and ears emerged as her clothes shifted to a maid's outfit, and then her body slid further into a full anthro beast form.

"Calling the beast inside, release the ocelot!"

When the smoke cleared, there was no sign of Cell, just a smoldering crater. She didn't even need to catch her breath. She simply landed and approached the crater, on high alert, looking for some evidence that Cell was still around.

A familiar tail loomed up behind her, and before she could react, she was drawn in. Semi-Perfect Cell gloated as he felt her power fill him, laughing as he looked to the sky where he presumed he was being monitored. "It seems that my Saiyan cells remembered what it was like to be almost perfect and just needed an opportunity to regenerate. I shouldn't be surprised. Gero gave me that ability, and even stripped of my near perfection, I feel stronger than ever again thanks to you and your ability to recover from fatal wounds stronger than ever. And of course, I gained the ability to transform myself. Now, though I've lost 17, I've gained 18, and my perfection is complete."

Cell's body shifted and mutated once again, transforming into his sleek and very human-looking final form, only for a cat's tail to twitch out behind him while the horns on his helmet seemed to transform into large ears. He then noticed his chest with an annoyed eyebrow.

"That devious little transformation sullies my perfection, but now that I have 18 within me, it won't be long before I gain control of it and achieve my true perfection."

He paced about for a moment, letting the power settle as the feline aspects faded back to his true form. He started to flex his hand, getting a feel for his body as it began to shift back to male. Only for him to lose it and then shift into a full-on green ocelot, not anthro, but a full beast.

"Touché, sister," he turned again to the sky and the cameras monitoring him.

"It seems like you have earned a respite, but I shall make it a fair one. I will give you 10 days to prepare yourselves for your destruction, at which point I'll set up a tournament." He shifted to anthro form with a broad smirk. "Those are always quite fun, aren't they, Goku?" And then with a grunt of effort, he shifted up into his catgirl form. "I'll master this distortion you have put on my sister, and then once I defeat you and all of your champions, I will destroy this puny little planet. So I hope you find a way to put up a good fight because now I'm angry."
