Summary
The next morning, Cell decides he will make a ring for the tournament. It is a mostly empty place, except for a couple houses, but Cell blows those up, and makes a big portion of the land completely smooth and flat. Then Cell telekinetically lifts up a huge mountain, and cuts it up until it is a perfectly smooth cube. Then, still telekinetically, he slices the cube into tiles, then sends them all to the smoothed out area on the ground. Then he is off to a TV station. At Kame House, Kuririn and Yamcha are watching the weather, when the guy on TV suddenly starts screaming. Kuririn tells Muten Rōshi that Cell is on the TV, and he and Chi-Chi come over to watch too. A crew guy yells into the camera to call security or the police, but then Cell kills him.
"I will be interrupting your television for just a little while. Actually, I have brought splendid news for those who enjoy living in peace. News that should give your days even more joy and thrills. My name is Cell. I think you all know of the situation many days ago where numerous humans vanished at the hands of a monster. That monster has evolved and transformed into me. Thank you for giving me lots of bio energy back then. But do not worry, I no longer need bio energy. Anyway, the splendid news is: nine days from today, M 17th[a], at noon, a martial arts tournament called the 'Cell Games' will take place. The place is northwest of Central City, 28 KS Point 5. I have built a ring there." Tenshinhan, Piccolo, and Mister Popo are watching from God's Temple, on a little TV with a satellite hookup. "It is different from the Tenka'ichi Budōkai. The opponent you humans will fight will be me alone. There can be as many of you as you want."
"The way it works is, one of your competitors fights me, and when they lose, the next competitor takes their place. Thus, it would be an advantage for you to have greater numbers. Maybe I will get tired if I have lots of matches. The rules are mostly the same as the Tenka'ichi Budōkai. Giving up, or any part of the body going outside the ring, is a loss. And, while I will try not to, if you are killed, that is a loss too. Should all the competitors lose, I will kill every single person in the world. I will thoroughly make sure to not leave a single one, while taking a good look at the expression of fear in their faces." Vegeta, Trunks, Bulma, and Dr. Brief are watching from a lab where No. 16 is being repaired. "With that being the case, I want those with confidence in their strength to participate." Then Cell puts his hand against the wall behind him, and blows it up completely. Then he flies out of the building through the hole he made.
At Kame House, the Turtle Hermit thinks he is terrible, while Kuririn thinks of what he said about killing everyone in the world. Yamcha wonders who could possibly stand up to him. Vegeta and Trunks could not, not even Goku could. At Capsule Corporation, Vegeta is taking off his shirt, and Bulma asks where he is going. He says he is going back to the strange room, of course. Vegeta says he is not concerned about Earthlings dying, but he will not be satisfied if he does not kill Cell. Trunks says he will go too, and Bulma says she will give him a haircut before he goes. "Cell's speech has now created tremendous fear throughout the world. Once again, the world has been weakened by peace, and the army and the police do not know what to do about the enemy that has appeared before their eyes. The people have forgotten about the small boy that fought the Demon King Piccolo long ago. And the people do not know about the warrior who fought the Saiyans or Freeza. About the existence of Son Goku."
