Mash Burnedead vs Cell War

**Mash Burnedead vs Cell War** is a fight that occurs during the Divine Visionary Selection Exam Arc.

## Summary

Cell War is standing on top of the tower, holding his arms up towards the ball. Mash begins to runs towards the tower. After standing at the base of the tower for a few moments, Mash kicks it, breaking off a large chunk of it. He then kicks it a numerous more times, leaving only the small section that Cell is standing on. After landing, Cell says **'We meet again, Mash Burnedead. Destroying my tower did nothing. You must defeat-'** however before he can finish his sentence, he is interrupted by Mash who says **'Y-Yeah... b-been a while... we, um, sat next to each other... at the entrance ceremony, right?** After looking shocked, Cell says **'Don't tell me you forgot about me?'** to Mash, who after a moment of deliberation says **'I'm so sorry.'**

Cell asks Mash if he actually forgot about him, however Mash does not answer, as he only sees Cell as a talking cream puff. Cell says that he will kill him and attacks Mash, but he is able to dodge it. He then says **'I heard your little friend survived. Tough as a roach, that one. After I get rid of you, I'll be sure to finish the job.'** He then casts **'Carborain'**, launching it towards Mash.

Cell watches in shock as Mash runs across his magic. When Mash reaches Cell, he punches him in the face and knocks him to the ground. Cell thinks to himself how last time Mash was barely able to keep up with his attacks, wondering how he can fight him evenly now. Mash says **'I remember you now. You're the thorny one. But I've already seen your trick once. So, you know... it's kinda played out.'**

Mash asks Cell why he is being targeted. Cell asks if Mash knows about the forbidden magic of body construction. He says that it is a dark magic that is used to create an immortal heart from the hearts of six blood relatives. He says that Innocent Zero **'prepared six different children to be raised as vessels for their hearts.'** He says that because of this, Mash is Innocent Zero's creation to be used to create his 'perfect body'.

Cell says that Mash should be happy, as he will become part of a godlike being. Mash says **'So, I'm like the protein you need to build muscles? That's what I am?'** Cell does not respond to this, and after a moment of thinking, Mash says **'That's heavy. What a bomb-shell. My whole life... well... time for a nap.'** As he says this, he puts a blanket over himself and tries to go to sleep, however Cell tells him to get up. Mash says that he was hoping that he was dreaming and asks if he and Cell are siblings. Cell says that he is a **'just a clone, created when Father gave his blood to a corpse.'** He also says that he exists solely so that Innocent Zero can achieve his goals.

Cell says that it is the greatest honor to become part of Innocent Zero's body. Because of this, he can't stand that he chose Mash. He says that Mash's life was **'worthless anyway. Be happy it has some use. Now to beat you half to'**, but before he can finish his sentence, Mash punches him in the face and knocks him over. Mash says that he doesn't care if his life has a deeper meaning, because he is **'still unstoppable. So gimme your best.'** Cell thinks to himself that he shouldn't fall for Mash's taunts, but he was able to make him bleed. He stands up as another magic mark appears on his face. He says that his will open strong and casts **'Summon Hephaestus, God of Iron'**.

Cell tells Mash that by summoning Hephaestus, he has unleashed his wand's full power and that **'magic can evolve in countless ways depending on who wields it and how.'** After saying this, he casts **'Diamond Cutter'**, a spell that launches two diamond bladed disks at the opponent. Mash is able to dodge the attack by jumping, however he says that it was close.

The discs continue past Mash and cut into the walls behind him, causing him to say **'Hey, my school!!'** Cell tells Mash that as the blades are covered in diamonds, there is nothing that they cannot cut. He also says that they will follow the target until they have been **'cut to ribbons.'**

When the discs come back towards Mash, one of the blades grazes his cheek, causing a small cut to appear. The blades then begin to repeatedly go after Mash, but he is able to dodge them. After this, he decides that he'd **'better ignore them'** and go straight for Cell. However when he attempts to do this, one of the discs appears in front of him and cuts his shirt, but he is able to retreat before it cuts into his body.

The two discs then attack Mash again, but he is able to tuck in between them and avoid being cut. Mash then realizes that Cell is holding two of the four discs back so that Mash cannot get near him. After seeing this, Mash says **'This is bad. Four is two many too much!'** After hearing this, Cell says **'Oh, now you're scared? But I wouldn't try to run, unless you're willing to sacrifice everyone here.'** As he says this, he casts **'Black Diamond'**, causing one thousand diamond shards to appear above them.

Cell says that **'A wand unleashed via a summon spell doesn't just have its own power enhanced. The level of magic power you can unleash is incomparable.'** He says that the thousand diamond shards impale everyone within the Colosseum, and tells Mash to give up.

After saying this, he fires two of the discs towards Mash. After seeing this, Mash turns around and runs away. This confuses Cell, as he thinks to himself **'Why is he running in the opposite direction?! What's he doing?! Is he abandoning the students?'** Suddenly, Mash appears behind Cell and says **'I circled the school to shake them off'**, which Cell thinks should be impossible.

Cell says **'It's a shame though. You forgot I could do this'** and turns his skin into diamond. He then says **'No strike can break through my diamond skin!! But I can cut you!!'** As he says this, a disc begins to fly towards Mash's back. It hits him, causing Mash to fall to the floor. Cell puts his foot on Mash's head and says **'Not so tough after all!! Another waste!'** He then looks down and sees Mash's head replaced by a cream puff. Mash then stands up, saying **'Cream puff party. Cream puff party'** and begins to force the cream puff into Cell's mouth. Mash then gets Cell in a chokehold, as he begins to foam at the mouth.

It is then explained that Cell experienced 'Hypoxia', which occurs when the brain is deprived of sufficient oxygen, causing hallucinations. Before the disc hit Mash, he realized that it would be too difficult to stop the attack with his fist, so he instead decided to get Cell in a chokehold. Using the strength of his biceps, Mash was able to cut off oxygen from the carotid artery, knocking Cell out in less than a second. **'Black Diamond'** then shatters, as Mash says **'I care a lot about this school. If you want to destroy it then get ready to be choked out.'**
