DBZ Goten : Become Stronger By Defeating Your Opponent

Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Recruiting Dr. Hedo



As the battle raged on, the ground beneath the factory trembled violently, sending shockwaves through the area.

"What's happening now?" Dr. Hedo exclaimed, turning to face the factory behind him.

With a deafening creak, the roof of the building slowly split open, revealing a massive figure rising into view. The creature's design was eerily similar to the original Cell, but its body was larger, and its appearance more menacing. Its form was a grotesque mix of red and green, with piercing yellow eyes that glowed with malice.

"Cell MAX!" Dr. Hedo gasped, his face drained of color.

The sight of Cell MAX sent chills down his spine. He knew all too well that this was an unfinished creation—a semi-complete prototype. If activated prematurely, it posed a catastrophic threat not only to those present but potentially to the entire planet.

Around them, factory workers panicked and scattered like ants, fleeing in all directions as Cell MAX let out a thunderous roar.

"Cell MAX!" Piccolo and Gamma 2 paused their clash, both momentarily distracted by the monstrous being.

With an earth-shattering bellow, Cell MAX began to swing its massive fists, unleashing destruction indiscriminately. Buildings crumbled under its might, and the ground split open with every strike.

Gamma 2 immediately flew to Dr. Hedo, his usually calm demeanor now replaced with urgency.

"Doctor! Cell MAX isn't finished yet—why is it active?"

Dr. Hedo clenched his fists in frustration. "It must've been Magenta! That bastard activated it prematurely!"

"So, what's the plan? What do we do now?" Gamma 2 pressed.

Dr. Hedo didn't hesitate. "We have to stop it. If we don't, the Earth itself could be destroyed!"

Gamma 2 nodded resolutely. "Understood!" Without another word, he charged toward the rampaging Cell MAX.

Gamma 2 opened fire with his laser gun, bright streaks of energy slamming into Cell MAX's body. But the monstrous android didn't even flinch. The lasers scorched its surface, leaving smoke and scorch marks, but they were nothing more than minor irritations to the behemoth.

With a guttural growl, Cell MAX retaliated by firing a golden energy wave from its mouth. The sheer force of the blast sent shockwaves rippling through the air. Gamma 2 barely managed to dodge, the beam striking the ground behind him and leaving a massive crater in its wake.

"That was close..." Gamma 2 muttered, glancing at the smoldering pit.

Before he could recover, Cell MAX disappeared in a flash, its enormous bulk moving with unnatural speed. Gamma 2's eyes widened in shock as the monstrosity reappeared inches from him, its massive hand closing around him like a vice.

"Gamma 2!" Dr. Hedo and the battered Gamma 1 shouted in unison.

Trapped in Cell MAX's iron grip, Gamma 2 struggled in vain, his body creaking under the pressure. With each passing second, the grip tightened, threatening to crush him entirely.

In his desperation, Gamma 2 made a grim decision. "If I'm going down, I'm taking you with me!" he roared, preparing to self-destruct.

Before he could act, Piccolo, now in his Orange Piccolo form, intervened. With a bellowing war cry, he enlarged himself to match Cell MAX's size and launched himself at the creature.

Startled, Cell MAX released Gamma 2 and turned to face the new threat. What followed was a titanic clash of giants, their punches shaking the earth and sending shockwaves through the air. The factory crumbled around them, reduced to rubble by their sheer power.

On the ground, Trunks turned to Goten, who was watching the battle unfold.

"Goten, aren't you going to help?"

"It's fine," Goten replied calmly. "I'll step in if Uncle Piccolo can't handle it."

As if on cue, Piccolo shouted down to him, his voice booming like thunder.

"Goten! Now's your chance!"

"Got it!" Goten replied, springing into action.

He darted under Cell MAX, his speed a blur, and unleashed a devastating punch to its midsection. The force of the blow sent Cell MAX hurtling into the air, its massive form crashing through the clouds.

"Kamehameha!" Goten cried, cupping his hands together as a deep blue energy wave surged forth.

The beam raced toward Cell MAX, who crossed its arms in a futile attempt to block. The Kamehameha overwhelmed the monstrous android, pushing it higher into the atmosphere.

With a final burst of effort, Goten roared and poured all his strength into the attack. The Kamehameha erupted in a brilliant explosion, the shockwave illuminating the sky like a second sun. A massive white mushroom cloud formed, scattering clouds and leaving the sky eerily clear.

When the smoke cleared, Cell MAX was gone, its remains obliterated by the blast. The Earth trembled no more.

"It's over," Piccolo said, exhaling in relief.

Goten landed beside him, a triumphant grin on his face. "We did it."

Piccolo turned his attention to Dr. Hedo, Magenta, and Carmine, who were attempting to sneak away amidst the chaos.

"What about them?" Piccolo asked.

"Call the police and hand them over," Goten replied.

Dr. Hedo froze, his expression a mix of fear and desperation. He ran to Goten, dropping to his knees and clutching the young Saiyan's arm.

"Please! Don't turn me in! I was tricked into this. I didn't want to create Cell MAX!"

Goten raised an eyebrow. "I'd like to help you, but those two will definitely rat you out."

Dr. Hedo turned to Magenta and Carmine, his face pale. "Then... can't we just pretend this never happened? I'll do anything you want—just don't send me back to prison!"

Goten sighed. "You'll have to cooperate with the police. But I have a way to keep you out of jail—on one condition."

"Anything! Just name it!" Dr. Hedo said, nodding frantically.

"You'll work for me from now on. Deal?"

"Deal! I'll do whatever you say!"

Trunks frowned. "Are you sure about this, Goten?"

Goten smirked. "Yeah. Don't worry. He'll be useful."

Dr. Hedo straightened up, puffing out his chest. "I may not have many redeeming qualities, but I'm loyal!"
