Gohan stared at where his father had disappeared in shock and horror as he slowly realized that his father was dead because of his mistake. “DADDD!!!” Gohan shouted as he started crying and as he started punching the ground in anger.
Gohan felt a hand on his back, “Let it all out Gohan, it’s alright no one will think any less of you.” Krillin said as he kneeled down next to him.
“It’s all my fault, dad is dead because of me.” Gohan said crying as he looked at Krillin.
“That’s nonsense Gohan, if it wasn’t for you, we would all be dead right now, you saved us all, your dad was very proud of you. He did this because he loves you very much.” Krillin said as he helped Gohan stand up.
“17 & 18 I almost forgot about them; come on guys they need our help.” Krillin said as he walked up to 18 and picked her up, Piccolo walked up to 17 and picked him up.
“What are you fools doing, put those androids down right now. We should destroy them right now.” Vegeta said looking at them.
“No, we don’t have to they aren’t that bad, they just need help.” Krillin said looking at Vegeta, “Isn’t that right Piccolo?”
“Yeah, they helped fight against Cell, so they aren’t all bad.” Piccolo said looking at Vegeta.
“Fine do whatever you want fools.” Vegeta said looking at them.
Gohan stood in pce staring at the ground when there was strong gust of wind, and dust when a blue light emerged, then a bright yellow beam of light emerged from the cloud of dust as it hit Trunks in the chest. Trunks was sent flying backwards as blood came out of the wound, “Oh, my bad that was meant for Tien.” Cell said ughing from the cloud of dust.
Once the cloud of dust cleared Cell was seen standing in front of them in his perfect form as he had a yellow aura and blue lighting surrounding him. “I bet you are wondering how I’m still alive… well it’s quite simple as long as a single cell survives, then I can’t die. Each cell holds all my data, and that allowed me to regenerate in my complete form without 17 & 18. I am now even stronger than before.” Cell said ughing. “Now let’s finish our fight Gohan, before I send you to meet your father in Hell.”
“You know what, that’s fine with me, I have some things to work through.” Gohan said as he powered up again as he faced Cell.
“… help… me…” Trunks said as he grunted in pain as he coughed up blood.
“We need a senzu bean now.” Yamcha said as he ran towards him Trunks, “He’s in bad shape guys.”
“We don’t have anymore!” Krillin shouted at Yamcha.
“CELL HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO MY SON!!!!” Vegeta yelled as he transformed and charged towards Cell and fired an energy bst at Cell who just stood in pce as the bst hit him. Cell emerged from the cloud of dust and attacked Vegeta knocking him down to the ground where he charged an energy bst and fired it at Vegeta.
Gohan didn’t know why but his body started moving by itself as he jumped in front of the bst protecting Vegeta. The bst hit Gohan in the arm as he felt an intense pain as he slowly got back up, his arm and leg were bleeding badly, he could barely move his arm or his leg at all.
Gohan turned to look at Cell, in anger as he made a fist with his one good arm, “Damn it, Vegeta we could have brought Trunks back with the dragon balls, but you had to go and try and be a parent now.” Gohan said as he pushed down the pain he was feeling as he looked at Cell, he struggled to stay standing.
“Well, it’s time to end this, Gohan.” Cell said as he powered up and started charging up his energy.
“…I’m sorry... Gohan.” Vegeta said looking at him, causing Gohan to look at Vegeta in surprise.
“… wow, I never thought I would hear that from Vegeta.” Gohan said to himself as he turned his attention back to Cell who continue to power up.
“Well, time to kill you and everyone on this pnet, and since I don’t age, I will live forever free to do whatever I want and since I can survive in the vacuum of space, I can explore the stars.” Cell said as he continued to power up his bst.
Cell continued to power up as a whirlwind of energy and light swirled around him, the earth started shaking again from the amount of power Cell was putting into his bst, Gohan knew there was nothing he could do to stop Cell from destroying the pnet Gohan had given up. Gohan thought that at least he could be with his dad again once this was all over.
“Come on son, you can’t be giving up already that’s nothing like you.” Goku said
“Dad, where are you?” Gohan asked looking around for his dad.
“I’m in the other world son, King Kai is letting me talk to you, telepathically. I know you have the power to defeat him, I’ve sensed it all along, you can do this I believe in you, now give Cell the biggest Kamehameha you can.” Goku said
“I don’t know if I can dad, I can only use one arm and my power level has dropped.” Gohan said
“No, son you just feel like that because you are doubting yourself, you just have to trust in yourself.” Goku said.
“… Ok dad, I only need one arm for this.” Gohan said as he felt a new sense of confidence in himself. Gohan powered back up as he charged his energy into his one good arm, “KAA-MEE-HAA-MEE-”
“That’s it give me your best shot Gohan.” Cell said with a smile looking at Gohan, as he started ughing.
“HAAAA!!!!!” Gohan and Cell shouted at the same time as both beams flew towards each other and crashed into each other forming a rge blue dome of light that destroyed everything it touched, the two beams started growing rger. Dust, wind, and rocks were flying everywhere as Gohan and Cell struggled with their beams, the earth started shaking from the force being released from the two beams.
“Gohan hang in there!” Goku shouted as Cell poured more energy into the attack causing his attack to slowly overpower Gohan’s, Gohan gritted his teeth as he struggled to stay standing, “Gohan I want to tell you something, you must believe in yourself, you have saved us all so many times, and you are going to do it again right here, right now. Let out your power.” Goku said to Gohan.
Gohan felt more power rising out of him as he poured it into his attack as it pushed back Cell’s causing a stalemate again, “You are a fool.” Cell said as he poured more energy into his attack overpowering Gohan again.
Gohan poured more energy into his attack as the stalemate continued, when there was a shout, “Masenko HA!” Piccolo had flown towards where they were and fired an attack at Cell, but it didn’t do much to Cell who counter attacked and sent Cell flying.
“Piccolo!” Gohan said as he watched Piccolo fly backwards, Gohan poured more energy into his attack.
“Kamehameha!!!” Krillin and Yamcha shouted as they also came to attack Cell.
Tein fired an energy bst as he attacked Cell as well before Cell sent them all flying.
“NO!!” Gohan shouted as he poured more energy his attack overpowering Cell slowly.
“Gohan don’t worry about them they can take care of themselves focus on Cell!” Goku said.
They all got back up and started attacking Cell again, but they were sent flying backwards by Cell again, they kept getting back up and attacking Cell. They attacked once more before Cell sent them all flying far away.
Cell’s power was slowly pushing Gohan back as he stood his ground he was sliding backwards, as the ground around them started breaking apart, “Saturday Crush!!!” “Big Bang Attack!!!” Raditz and Vegeta shouted as they attacked Cell together.
That attack, staggered Cell, “NOW GOHAN!!” Goku shouted as Cell was distracted momentarily, Gohan released all his power into the attack as it overpowered Cells, Gohan started walking slowly towards Cell while releasing his power.
Cell was slowly being disintegrated as the attack swallowed him in bright blue light, soon there was nothing left of Cell as the beam flew up into the air as it left the earth’s atmosphere. Gohan was panting heavily as he slowly transformed back into his base form before falling and crashing into the ground below.
Gohan was on the ground ughing with his eyes closed, “Good job, Gohan you did it.” Krillin said looking down at him smiling.
“Yeah, you had us worried there for a second there.” Yamcha said, as Gohan opened his eyes to see everyone around him.
“Wow, I can’t believe he did it, No, one is going to believe this.” The announcer said walking up to the group covered in dirt. “To bad I lost my microphone.”
“No don’t tell anyone.” Piccolo said looking at him.
“… but why the world deserves to know that Cell is gone and who defeated him.” The announcer said.
“Yeah, but we don’t do this for the recognition we do it because it’s the right thing to do.” Piccolo said looking at him, “Also Gohan deserves a normal life not all the attention that will come from something like this.”
“You can just say my dad beat Cell.” Gohan said looking up at them, “It’s not like anyone would believe that I beat Cell anyway.” Gohan said ughing.
“… alright, if that’s what you really want, I can agree with that.” The announcer said, “I’m sorry about Goku, he was a good man.”
“Yeah, he was.” Gohan said smiling.
“Ok, Gohan let’s take you to Dende so he can heal you.” Krillin said smiling at him.
“Let me.” Raditz said as he nded on the ground and picked up Gohan, “I’m proud of you Gohan, and I know your dad is too.” Raditz said smiling at him.
“Thank you, Sorry about the mess.” Gohan said before he passed out from exhaustion.
