TrunksYou can finish me if you want. I've failed.
Hmm...how very gracious of you.
TrunksWait. Tell me. What is the real purpose of this tournament? What are you really going to do? Cell, I know what you androids are like. I'm sure this is some sort of a trick. Just a trap to get us all in one place, right?
Oh, must you always treat everything like it's the end of the world? There is no secret purpose. I simply want to get as much out of this planet as I can before I destroy it. I have proven that I am unstoppable. Neither you or your friends are any threat to me now. However, there is one that I want to test my complete power against. I want you to bring me Goku. This tournament is sure to be a guaranteed hit. Everyone will be watching me. I just can't wait to see that look of panic and fear.
TrunksEh!
That's it. That's the look. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Until then.
So, what's the deal? Who's gonna be in this? I mean, nobody can beat Cell so it won't be much of a tournament.
TrunksYes, you're right. I thought I could beat him. I was certain I could do it. But I failed. Maybe he is unstoppable.
Can anyone he wants enter the competition?
TrunksHe'll take on anyone who challenges him. And he expects to have a battle with each of us...one by one.
Of course. You know what he's trying to do. I do. His plan is to eliminate the competition once and for all.
Well, I kind o' like the idea of another martial arts tournament. I mean, hey. I think I'll dominate.
Yeah! Let's get 'im!
Yeah!
Just make sure you don't get another hand through your stomach.
But why would Cell host a tournament?
Yeah, why? I mean if he wants to rule the world, why is he wasting time with this competition?
TrunksCell doesn't want to rule the world. He wants to destroy it.
Uh...?
Huh?
TrunksThe androids have never been interested in power. It's just that they find pleasure in causing fear and chaos. And Cell's no different. He's using this stupid tournament as a way to spread fear.
TrunksGohan, did your father tell you anything?
Eh?
TrunksWe've all heard Goku say that Cell is stronger than he is and that Cell has no weaknesses. So why is he acting so cheerful?
I've asked my dad and he hasn't told me anything. All he says is "don't worry."
TrunksDon't worry...!?
I don't know. I mean, if that's what he said, maybe he really does have some plan to defeat Cell.
Or maybe he's in denial.
Okay then. Let's get this thing going. And if you want, I'll be first.
TrunksGoku, you don't have to be the first one to fight.
What do ya say, Vegeta?
Be my guest. We all know it will be me who ends up finishing Cell.
[after Trunks suggests that Goku take a senzu bean] We will wait.
TrunksWe'll wait for what? He needs a senzu bean!
Quiet, boy! Where is your honor!? Like all pure-blooded Saiyans, Kakarot would rather die fighting than win with one of those disgraceful senzu beans as his crutch! Kakarot trained in the hyperbolic time chamber just as we did! Now let's see what he can do!
TrunksNo, we can't. Goku doesn't have the strength. Don't you see what will happen if he keeps going like this?
If this goes on...then he will die.
TrunksUh!
Uh!
Uh!
But, that will be his decision. It is painfully clear at this point that no one among this group is stronger than Kakarot is. Not even myself. So he deserves to have the fight of a true warrior. And that means...to the death!
TrunksWhile we all just stand here and watch? I won't be part of it!
Aren't you the one who has never stopped talking about how great a hero Kakarot is? If you have so much faith in him, then wait and see what he will do.
[to Gohan] Ten more seconds and the Earth will be gone. I guess we'll call this game a draw!
[Cell is about to explode] Hey, you put up a good fight, Gohan. I'm proud of you.
What? Daddy?
Take care of your mother for me. She needs you. Tell her that I had to do this, Gohan.
Ah!
Goodbye, my son.
Goku!
No! Don't! [Goku uses his instant transmission to teleport the exploding Cell away from Earth]
No! Come back!
Goku!
Uh!
Ah!
TrunksUh!
Ah!
Uh!
[Goku teleports to King Kai's planet with the exploding Cell] Aah! Goku! What have you done? Are you out of your mind?
Sorry guys. This is the only place I could think to bring him.
Well, you could've called first!
Aah! Aah! [Cell explodes, killing Goku, King Kai, Bubbles, and Gregory along with him]
Hey, it's you.
TrunksYeah, it's me. The name's Trunks. Look, it's over. It stops here.
It does, huh? Trunks, don't you remember what happened last time? Nothing "stops here" except you.
Gosh, how rude. He is such an arrogant little punk. Man, that's it. I want him dead! It's a matter of principle.
I don't mind. Consider it done. [whispering to Android 18] But look sis...we'll be blowing weeks worth of fun...comprende?
I don't care. I need this. I've been in a bad mood all day.
[while being easily pummeled by Trunks] I hate you!
TrunksYou hate the fact that you're powerless to stop me. That you're completely outmatched. Well, imagine feeling the way you do now all of the time like the people of this planet do. Fools. How do you think my master Gohan felt when you ganged up on him in the rain and he had no way out? Well, now it's your turn. I hope you enjoy it!
Trunks[Trunks senses Cell behind him] Hm? Hey, mom...would you mind going inside now?
What? Inside? But why? [comical] Ah...where is she, Trunks? I know you...who has a new girlfriend? Aha ha...
TrunksMom.
[serious] Huh? Trunks? [Bulma runs away]
TrunksCome on out, Cell. I know you're here.
Huh!?
TrunksYou're so lame, sneakin' around like the boogeyman. What's your plan, Cell? To kill me and take my time machine to the past? You're having trouble finding the androids, huh? I bet you just long to absorb them.
What!? How do you know all this?
TrunksI read your palm, big guy. You have a short lifeline.
Grr...so, you're a joker, huh!? Well, I don't like your jokes. I subscribe to a different kind of amusement than you Earthlings.
TrunksYeah, I know how you get your kicks, Cell. But it's not going to happen anymore and I'm going to see to that.
You shouldn't be throwing your life away like this. No one will know. Just let me leave.
TrunksThere is someone watching. And laughing. A friend of mine that you killed in the past. He's someone I could never let down.
Don't worry. You'll be seeing your friend shortly.
TrunksWe'll see about that.
Yes we will. You won't be alone. There's a long list. Now you too will be a part of me. That's right. I'm going to suck you up. Your energy will be refreshing. A nice treat to start off my journey in the time machine.
TrunksEnough, you freak!
Don't you shush me, you little punk!
TrunksYou're overconfident, Cell.
There's no reason not to be. I've come across thousands like you.
TrunksYes you have. But count me as the last!
[after wearing the new bandanna and glasses to go along with his Great Saiyaman outfit] Alright! I love it! Now that's what I call style! Hey, what do ya think, Trunks? Pretty cool, huh?
TrunksYeah...it's great... [to himself] If you like looking like a total geek, that is...
Trunks[after Vegeta asks Trunks to attack him but punches him down] You didn't say you would hit back, dad.
Well, I didn't say I wouldn't hit you, now did I, Trunks?
