Hey folks, welcome to my new story! Dragon Ball CE! Because the regular summary can't really explain much, let me do so. This story will mainly focus on Gohan, and once he is really introduced to the main cast, Goten. It's also, of course gonna give lots of attention to Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo, and I'll try my best to give the humans some love as well. Also, Gohan x Videl will be a thing. Because the highschool stuff doesn't begin early in the story, it'll be some time before we get to it.
Also if you're coming here from Legacy of Gohan, yo! Its me, back with another story, if you've already read what little there was of Legacy of Gohan, expect that, but a lot better.
Without further adieu, lets begin.
May 26th, Age 767
A fierce battle was erupting on the wastelands of Planet Earth, two powerful fighters in the middle of it.
One of them, the brave 9 year old boy, Son Gohan, son of Son Goku and surprise powerhouse, was at the last of his strengths, his arm rendered useless having taken a blast from his opponent to protect Vegeta, and the other, Cell, having reached new heights of power after self-destructing but miraculously surviving through the genes of Piccolo.
Cell was about to launch his Solar Kamehameha, planning to take out his opponent and the whole planet with him. Gohan tightened his fist up in anger. Cell was about to destroy the Earth, and he was powerless to do anything to stop it.
"S-Sorry, Gohan." Gohan looked back at Vegeta, eyes widening with surprise at the fact he apologized, genuinely at that, for quite possibly the first time in his life. 'Vegeta.. You too understand that this is over, don't you?'
'I guess this is really over, isn't it?' Gohan thought to himself, 'Damn it, I should've just killed him when I could have! Well I guess this is what I get for being too arrogant, isn't it?' Gohan's fists and teeth clenched in frustration.
"What's wrong, Gohan? Show me your final resistance!" Cell flashed a malicious smile, his eyes widening like a maniac.
"Cell, I know my resistance won't change anythin'. It's futile. My father won't be the only I'll let die, we're all going together!"
"Tsk, how dull. Such a disappointing way to end this series of events. Well if I must, I'll happily help myself to bringing about the end to everything!" His ki flashed to life in his ends, signaling the beginning of the end.
Gohan looked down, eyes threatening to close and tear up in frustration. 'It's all over. The Earth will be wiped out…'
"Don't ya even think about givin' up, Gohan! Don't talk such foolishness like that! It ain't like a Saiyan to give up like this, Gohan!"
Gohan's eyes widened, and he looked around but found nothing but the desert environment surrounding the battlefield. "F-Father? Where are you?"
"I'm up in other world, me and Kaiou are havin' a blast! I'm usin' him to talk to ya right now." Goku said. 'Remember, Gohan, you have the blood of a Saiyan flowin' right through you. Hit him as hard as you can with a Kamehameha, he'll be sent to the moon if you do, I'm sure of it!"
"But I can only use one arm, and I don't even have half of my ki left! How?"
Looking onward at Gohan, Cell laughed a deep laugh. "Are you so terrified for your life that you've gone insane to the point where you're talking to yourself?" Cell laughed again. "Gohan, you're hysterical! But then again, what other way would anyone else react to dying by my hands?"
Piccolo was looking at Gohan, eyes widened. "Gohan!"
"It's alright Gohan, you can win! Believe in me Gohan, believe in yourself, your power! You're the mightiest warrior in the universe! You can do it!"
"Father," his eyes narrowed in determination. "I understand! I'll give my all, for you!"
Goku laughed heartily. "That's the spirit Gohan! Kaiou n' I are havin' a blast up here, so you have to have a blast down there on Earth with everyone too, ya hear?"
"Father… I'm sorry. Because of me, you were killed… Because I got carried away I let you get killed!"
"Oi, Gohan! It ain't anythin' to be sad about! Sure, I may be dead, but whenever you think of me, we'll always be together. Gohan! If that is really what you think, then go out there, and avenge me! Let cell have it!"
Gohan clenched his lone fist. "Right!" Wind and dust swirled around him, his bright golden aura erupting in flames surrounding his body, as well as electric sparks.
Cell's eyes widened and his face morphed into surprise, but it was soon replaced with a cocky grin. "So you've finally come to, eh? Well have at it."
Gohan pulled his undamaged arm back, "Ka...me...ha...me…..." The faint sound of an Oozaru echoed. Both fighters were preparing to launch their special techniques at the other. Their auras dispersed around the scene.
On the lookout, Popo and Dende were looking over the atmosphere of the Earth at the battle commencing. "Gohan..."
On the cliff side with the deceased corpse of Trunks, the future son of Vegeta and Bulma, along with the human fighters Krillin, Yamcha, and Tenshinhan, stood Piccolo. "It's no use, damn it! Gohan's ki is just too weak. It's way too weak!" He screamed.
The ki in Cell's hands erupted into a bright light, "Burn in hell!" His Kamehameha had commenced.
"HAAAA!" And thus had Gohan's. He could feel Goku's spirit behind him, throwing his own energy into the beam.
The two blue energy beams had crashed into each other, creating a large spherical ball of energy at the center of destruction, creating a large crater below.
Krillin, sensing things were about to take a turn for the worse, picked up Android 18, who had been vomited out by Cell earlier, and flew off to escape the eventual explosion of energy. Yamcha, picking up Trunks' corpse flew off as well, shortly followed by Ten.
Before following the human Z-Fighters, Piccolo looked to the battlefield where Cell and his pupil were located. "Gohan..." Piccolo nodded towards the field before flying off.
Vegeta, shoving off the rubble piled around and on him, looked towards Gohan's figure. He clenched his teeth, and flew off, his aura lighting him.
The point of climax created by the two Kamehamehas increased in size, and knocked everyone around it back, including Mr. Satan, the supposed champ of Earth, the reporter, the acclaimed Jimmy Firecracker and his cameraman, and the Z-Fighters who had already fled the scene.
Around the Earth, the ground was shaking. And it was shaking hard, much akin to a very devastating earthquake. Buildings were toppling over and cracks were forming in the ground, causing mass panic around the Earth, sending many people into hysterics and many running for their lives, often into other mishaps.
"It's the end! Cell has won! It's the end!" and other such words were being said, only causing more widespread panic.
Even Korin and Yajirobe in Korin's Tower and Popo and Dende up on the lookout could slightly feel the tremors from down below.
Dende's eyes widened in fear, "Cell is completely overpowering Gohan!"
Off in Mount Paozu, in Goku and Chichi's abode, Chichi, Gyumao, and Urunai Baba stay holed up in the house, but even the roof was crumbling from the tremors.
Back in the battlefield, Gohan was still battling with Cell, despite clearly being on the losing side. "Gohan, keep holding out, you can do it!"
Cell kept smirking. "The fact you are still doing this in your current condition is astounding. I give you props!"
"Damn it! There is no use! Gohan's being completely overwhelmed by him!" Piccolo yelled.
Cell laughed, "Now, it's time to end this. I'm going all out!" He ended with a scream.
Although Gohan's power was practically halved, Gohan was throwing his all into his Kamehameha, knowing if he let off for even a second, his life would end, along with all those he cared about, and eventually the human race as a whole.
Cell's Kamehameha was slowly overpowering Gohan's, inching closer and closer in the process. 'No, Cell! I can't let you… I won't let you win! Otherwise everything everyone has ever done for me will be in vain! Krillin, Yamcha, Tenshinhan, Dende, Vegeta... Piccolo… And father! I owe you this…' Gohan thought to himself. 'I will beat you for everyone on planet Earth!'
Despite Gohan's self motivation, Cell's Solar Kamehameha was still inching itself towards Gohan. At the rate this battle was going, Gohan would be killed by Cell, along with everyone at the current site, with the human population next in line. 'No! Damn it, damn it, damn it! It's too late! I… I lost… I'm at my end...' Gohan shook his head, clearing his thoughts. 'No, don't think like this! I can still do this! I have to believe!'
Gohan stumbled, almost falling to his knees, but slightly corrected himself in fear of being consume by Cell's Kamehameha.
"Oi, Gohan! What's the matter? You still haven't summoned your full dormant power, I know it!" Goku said. "I-I'm sorry.. It's too much, I'm at my limit!" The young boy replied. "I am just a weakling after all. The spoiled, always crying, weakling, Son Gohan. Damn it! It's been so long, but I haven't changed in the slightest! I'm still always causing problems for everyone else and doing nothing in return!" His eyes closed in anger.
"Nonsense, Gohan! Perhaps you ain't been aware, but up 'til now, you've helped me, and everyone else out tonsa times! Back with Raditz, or when you fought Frieza all those times, even when you knew you would be severely hurt, even killed, or probably many other times that I wasn't there for, you have helped us, so much! Get serious, and release all your power, and trust me, you'll beat Cell, I'm sure!"
Gohan reopened his eyes, and through the bright beam, could faintly make out the silhouette of Cell using the same move he was.
"Say your prayers, boy! It's the end for you!"
"Stick with it Gohan!"
Gohan nodded, and threw even more power into his wave, drawing even with Cell's power, and slowly but surely, it crawled onto Cell's domain. "Incredible!" Yamcha said from the sidelines.
"You miserable idiot! I have attained the super-perfect form, no being can hope to beat me!" Cell launched even more power into his beam, breaking even with Gohan, and like Gohan's, crawling forward but at a much faster rate.
"It can't be!" exclaimed Goku, "It shouldn't be like this!" Goku stared at the sight unfolding, pondering, and gasped. "I've got it!"
"Gohan, in the depths of your mind, you're worried about damaging the Earth, aren't ya? Well don't be! Any sorta damage you do can easily be restored with the dragon balls! But not if you lose here! Go all out!"
Cell's Solar Kamehameha was slowly eclipsing Gohan's with ease.
Atop a cliff stood Vegeta, watching the spectacle unfold. His pride was heavily wounded, after getting dismantled in one blow by Cell and then having his biggest rival's son, one who was 9 at that, sacrifice his well-being for him, and it was understandable.
"Gohan! Raise your ki higher! You're goin' to win!" … 'Ya have'ta win...'
Behind Cell stood the remaining Z-Fighters, who had flown off to assist Gohan. Each one had been putting their all into every attack they launched, and Cell had knocked them away with ease, although getting angrier and angrier with them. They would constantly get back up, and when one fell, another came to take their place.
"Damn it! Don't those fucking idiots get that it's meaningless! Their power is useless compared to Cell or the boy!" Vegeta yelled to no one in particular, a golden aura starting to swell around him. He powered up into his super saiyan form with a great yell, and flew off towards Cell.
All four remaining Z-Fighters grouped together, and launched the final attacks they could muster up, before being swept aside once again by Cell.
Cell laughed to himself, his ki beam still overpowering Gohan. Eventually, the wave was only 10's of meters away from Gohan, and it started to push him back, his feet sliding into the ground.
"It's no use! The Earth will be blown away!" Kaiou exclaimed with worry.
"Withstand him, Gohan! Withstand him! You still aren't using all your power! Let it erupt!"
At this point, Cell's Kamehameha had almost fully beaten out Gohan's. And it would have, if Cell hadn't forgotten about a very Saiyan prince.
Above him, a yellow ki blast was launched, its destination - Cell's body. It hit into his back full force, Cell only noticing last second. Because he was not prepared to take any kind of force from behind, Cell stumbled and his power output weakened. Up in the sky was Vegeta, panting for air, his body threatening to collapse.
"Vegeta?!" Cell screamed.
"Now, Gohan, NOW!" Goku instructed. Gohan screamed as loud as he could and fueled his Kamehameha with every bit of his being. With Cell distracted by Vegeta, Gohan's Kamehameha eclipsed Cell's in seconds.
To ensure his victory, Gohan started walking, slowly but surely, pushing his Kamehameha forward. Sure enough, the Kamehameha started consuming and disintegrating Cell, bits of his body being destroyed.
The wave of ki erupted, and Cell was completely engulfed, and then quickly destroyed. His last memories of seeing Gohan's walking figure inching towards him would be ingrained in his psyche forever.
The Kamehameha kept going forward, and if you were looking the right way that day, you would've seen the amazing beam venture out into space and then slowly fade away.
Cell was killed.
The land below Gohan and his still alive friends had completely eroded, leaving a new giant crater that had sunken many feet down.
Gohan stood still in the air, floating and panting, still in his newly acquired Super Saiyan 2 state. He quickly dropped back to his base form, though, and fell to ground hitting it with a thud.
"It's vanished," Piccolo exclaimed, "Cell's ki is gone! I can't sense it!"
Krillin looked towards Gohan's injured body, "So Cell's been defeated, right?"
"That's the way it's lookin'" Ten answered. "He did it, Gohan finally killed that piece of crap," Yamcha said.
The fighters flew down to the badly injured Gohan, looking to take him to the Lookout. They smiled at him, they were immensely proud, especially Piccolo. It'd been 5 years since he first met the kid. At first, the toddler was pretty much useless in every regard: he cried, and would wet his pants at the sight of a big tree.
Gohan, although barely conscious, was panting with possibly the biggest smile that had ever been seen on his face.
Off in his home, Chichi and her father were celebrating. "Gohan did it! My Gohan did it! He beat that Cell monster!"
In other world, Kaiou and Goku were just mostly relieved. "So it's finally come to an end, eh?" A blue skinned god asked. "Yeah, it has." Goku said, a huge grin on his face.
"You've really defeated Cell!" Piccolo said with a smile.
"We're gonna take you to where Dende is right now, even without any senzus, he'll be able to fix you up real good!"
Yamcha picked him up in his arms, "Heh, thanks, Yamcha." With that, Gohan fell unconscious.
"Gohan!" Krillin yelled with worry. "Don't worry, Krillin, he's just asleep." Yamcha reassured the bald former monk.
"Never mind Gohan, Yamcha, are you sure you're in any shape to fly all the way to the lookout? I know we all got senzus, but I wouldn't be surprised if your arm was still sore, it was snapped in half after all." Ten asked. "Painful memories that we do not bring up, Ten, painful memories," Was all he got in response. "Well then, I guess I'll be getting Trunks." "And I'll get 18." Krillin and Tenshinhan went off to get their respective people, before Ten and Yamcha's eyes widened in surprise and they looked weirdly at Krillin.
The bald fighter blushed and flashed a nervous smile, "I mean she was one of Cell's victims too! Hehehe! Ooh..." He ran off to 18's body.
Piccolo looked to Vegeta's floating form, who was staring at nothing in particular, in thought. "Piccolo, we're gonna be leaving now!" Yamcha told him. "You guys go on ahead." The trio of no danger flew off.
"Vegeta, let me give you a hand." Piccolo said. "Mind your own damned business," replied the Saiyan prince, "You can go whenever the hell you want. I don't need nor do I want your help, Namek." Piccolo smirked, and grunted, before flying off.
"So this is how it is. I've been outdone by not only the father, but the son now, have I? Damn you, Kakarrot! Dying how you did…" Vegeta's clenched hands loosened up, as did his whole body. "Never, will I fight again." He said in defeat. He flew off to meet with the rest of the survivors of the Cell Games.
Near some boulders lay Mr. Satan in an erratic coughing fit. Once the dust cleared, he stood up, looking at the remains of the fierce battle. "T-The hell was with those guys?"
With rocks flying everywhere, a torn up Jimmy Firecracker jumped out and woke up in confusion. At the sight of the acclaimed Mr. Satan, however, all confusion and fears dissipated. "M-Mr. Satan! What in the world happened here!" He yelled running towards him.
"I saw that delivery boy and Cell ramming those weird light sticks while yelling a lot, but then a bunch of light and explosions and I got knocked out!"
"Oh, I-I suppose you didn't…Ha..ha..."
"Where's Cell? What happened to Cell?"
"Oh? C-Cell… Well uh… "A sudden boost of confidence infected the "great Champ","Well I defeated him o-of course! HAHAH! I hope..." He muttered those last words.
Firecracker looked at Mr. Satan for answers curiously. Then, his eyes lit up, "OOOOOOH! REALLY?! HOW?! HOW?!"
"Well, I uh, I got tired of their little ball trick light show, so I got bored and walked straight up that no good Cell monster and hit him right in the face like this!" He demonstrated an odd punch, "And then in the stomach like this!" He finished with a boisterous laugh.
"So what about the delivery boy and his friends?"
"Oh? Oh, well they thanked me and then left… They were… JUST TOO IN AWE OF MY MIGHTY MR. SATAN MASTER PRESENCE!"
Firecracker "Oh'd."
"Well that settles that doesn't it?" Kaiou said.
"Yup! All because of you, Kaiou, thanks! But now I'm really thinkin' about it, I'm pretty hungry!" Goku said laughing. "You have stuff to eat, right?"
"The hell are you talking about?! You blew my planet away! I don't have even a home, let alone food! Wait, how are you hungry, YOU'RE DEAD!"
"Aww man, now what am I gonna eat?" He said, ignoring the Kai. He looked over to the yellow clouds. "Oh, I guess I'll eat this!" and he started eating away at the weird yellow clouds, "Man this stuff ain't fillin' me up at all!"
Kaiou sighed, "You're quite literally the death of me, Goku."
The group of human and Namekian fighters landed atop now Dende's Lookout, an unconscious 18 and Gohan in tow.
Dende ran up to Yamcha, who was carrying Gohan, "Quick! Let me see Gohan!"
Yamcha set Gohan down on the groud, "Oh, so you're Dende." Dende put his hands over Gohan's chest, a light emitting from his hands. Slowly, all the blood and scratches disappeared from Gohan's body, leaving only dirt and a new, striking and huge scar on his left arm.
Gohan came to, opening his eyes, seeing a smiling Dende over him. "Gohan! Thank goodness!" Dende cried out in relief. His head lowered, "I'm sorry about your father."
The mood visibly dropped. Gohan stood up, and smiled, "It's not like that. I was able to hear father's voice. I could feel his ki, too! He was with me the whole time I was in the struggle with Cell! It was because of him I was able to beat Cell!"
Piccolo smiled at Gohan, "Well, in any case, you did well. You've really grown strong, haven't you Gohan?" He put his hand on his head.
Dende did to 18 what he did to Gohan, and put his hands over her, and recuperated her. Yamcha jump back several feet in fear of the android. Her eyes opened quick and she stood up just as quick. "Hey! Dende! Get away from her, you don't wanna be killed!"
"Shut up! That's not what I'm gonna do, idiot!"
"I-It's alright! We're on the lookout, now. Gohan killed Cell." Krillin explained.
"G-Gohan?" Hey eyes turned to Gohan, who brightly smiled.
"Yeah! That's right! He's ridiculously strong!" Yamcha yelled, throwing his arm up. "God he's no different from that afro man and his crew." Ten said, his palm planted on his face in frustration. "Hey Yamcha! Come over here and say that!"
"You should thank Krillin. He did a lot to stand up for after Cell spit you out." 18 looked over to Krillin, who paled, "Y-Yeah I m-mean we couldn't just leave you there," he stuttered.
"Oh! I get it!" Krillin looked over to Gohan," Krillin, you love 18, don't you?" Krillin smacked Gohan upside the head, while Ten and Yamcha proceeded to laugh themselves to the moon.
She glared at Krillin who was rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment. "What? Are you expecting me to be grateful? To clasp my hands together and say thank you?" She said, "Tsk, don't kid yourself," and with that she flew off.
Yamcha ran towards the group, "Why that no good jerk!" "Oh hey you finally came over here," Ten noted.
"What's with her damn attitude! I'm gonna send her flying!"
"I really doubt you could, though. You were scared to be withing 5 feet of her, after all."
"Nevermind her, we could deal with her situation later. For now, shouldn't we concern ourselves with using the Dragon Balls to wish back Trunks and anyone else who was killed back to life first?" Piccolo questioned.
"Hey, Krillin, don't worry! As far as friends go you got us, right!" Gohan said. "S-Shut up.." Krillin responded.
Popo picked up the seven dragon balls and brought them outside and put them together, and summoned the dragon, Shenron.
The balls glowed a faint orange. "Come forth, Dragon, and grant us our wish." Dende said. The balls then glowed a constant orange, and brightened up, and then a bright yellow light erupted from them, the mighty Shenron.
18 noticed the dark sky and the huge eruption of light from the lookout, looking at the green dragon in disbelief. She turned back and flew to the large plate in the sky.
"Now, speak forth thy wishes. I shall grant thee any three wishes," the scaly, green dragon said.
"Three?"
"Y-yes, I made it to be like Porunga, Namek's dragon. But if you make a wish to revive a bunch of people, it'll be only 2 wishes." {A/N}
"Shenron!" Yamcha began, "Bring back the lives to those who were killed by Cell!" Shenron's red eyes glowed. "Your wish has been granted."
Behind them, Trunks' body grew back to life, his eyes snapped open and he sat up. "Trunks!" Gohan cried out with a smile.
Piccolo's face, however, was not happy. "Like I thought… It didn't work. I sought out Son's ki and sure enough I didn't find it," he turned back to Gohan and Trunks, "He hasn't come back to life."
"Is that so..." Ten thought out loud to himself.
"Shenron! Is there any way you can bring back Son Goku to life! We absolutely want to bring him back!" Yamcha yelled to Shenron. "The one called Son Goku has already been brought back to life once with the dragon balls. Therefore, I cannot. Speak thee another wish."
"He says he can't he's already been brought back before," he said to the group. "Yeah we know, we're right next to you." Piccolo stated, "Guys, think, there has to be a way..."
"I know!" Said a high-pitched voice. The group turned to Dende, who had a large smile on his face, "We can ask Porunga! The dragon on our planet, Namek!"
"Yes, Porunga, the original Shenron, he can bring anyone back to life, no matter what!" Krillin exclaimed.
"Oh right, so that's how Chiaotzu and Krillin were brought back..." Ten pondered.
"Well, lets make that our second wish!" Yamcha said, "To get someone to Namek."
"Hey guys, hold on a sec! It's me, Goku! I'm speakin' to you through Kaiou from other world! There was something Bulma said a bit back, how I attracted bad guys or somethin'! I'm pretty sure it was joke, but she hit the spot! Because of that, I think Earth would probably be better off without me there. Even Kaiou admits it! Right?" "I suppose..." "See! Oh, don't get the wrong idea, I ain't sayin' I'm some kinda victim or something, because of the fact I've saved the Earth a lot, apparently I'm gonna be treated special. I'm not gonna get any older here, and there's gonna be a tonna fighting tournaments, it'll be fun, there'll be experts from the past too!"
"Experts from the past, eh Goku?" Piccolo said to himself.
"Kaiou coulda been wished back, but he said he passed, he's willin' to stick with me instead. Listen, it probably ain't really fair to Chichi and Gohan, but don't wish me back to life, ya hear?"
Gohan looked down in disbelief. "I mean Gohan's already a lot more reliable than I am, after all." Goku said. "That isn't true! I mean, I let you and Trunks get killed! What if I do that in the future! What will happen?!"
"Well, guys that's all. I'll be leavin' now. I'll see y'all when you guys die! Bye!"
And with that, communication between Goku and the living fighters ended. Gohan dropped to his knees, his eyes still wide. He closed his eyes, unwilling to let any tears show, and clenched his fists hard, so much so that his nails pierced his palms and small streams of blood flowed. He shook his head, then got back up.
"Goku..." Krillin said, in deep shock, "Y'know, for a dead guy, he seems oddly cheerful," he said, trying to lighten the mood.
"He's been like that since he was a kid.." Yamcha said, thinking back to the days where he tried to mug Goku, Bulma, and Oolong. Back to when he was relevant, and he was a top-tier fighter. Back when everything was at least a bit normal. He remembered when Goku reformed back into his normal self and was no longer a giant ape, and lost his tail. Right after Oolong wished for panties, stopping Pilaf from attaining world domination.
"Yeah. That's just like him," Krillin thought back to when he first met Goku. He had just traversed through a whole ocean solely by swimming to be taught by Master Roshi. How he delivered milk with Goku as training. How they fought in the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament. And before he started his long streak of losing miserably.
"I guess you can't really expect much else from the guy," Tenshinhan thought back to the days when he was a mercenary. He and Chiaotzu met Goku while they were in the middle on scheming a whole town, getting a good profit out of it too. How they would kill anything without a second look if it meant reward. His narrow win against Goku in the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament. Seeing Goku valiantly fight against and win against Piccolo Daimao.
"That's the type of guy Son is," His thoughts went back to when he was defeated by Goku in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament, how he had to become a giant to beat him, yet was failed by a surprise move by Goku regarding launching and Kamehameha from his feat. How he failed to kill Goku, but still mortally wounded him. How, at the end of the day, Goku still fed him a senzu, and he let him live, and turned down becoming the new Kami.
"Father.." Tears were streaming down his face. Memories of Goku walking up to Freeza to challenge him flashed before his eyes. "You always gave me courage, Father… Now you're gone.."
Shenron sweatdropped. "Ahem. Your last wish?" Shenron's booming voice rang clear atop the lookout, and startled everyone who was still paying attention. "Oh… You guys have any wishes?" Yamcha looked to everyone, who all said no or just shook their heads. "Oh! Good, then, I guess I can get that ring my girlfriend wanted!" He laughed, but everyone glared at him. "Oh loosen up, it was a joke! A joke!"
"Well, actually, Shenron, I have a wish!" Krillin ran up to the dragon.
"Get on with it then," He boomed, growing impatient. Krillin jumped, "O-Oh, well, do you think you could turn Androids 17 and 18 into normal humans again?"
There was a pause.
18's eyes widened, looking at the small male in surprise. Trunks gasped, staring at him in shock.
"I cannot do that. They're powers far exceed my own. It is far impossible for me to return them back to their normal state."
"O-Oh… Is that so..." Krillin thought to himself. "W-Well, then do you think you can remove the bombs planted in their bodies!"
Android 18 stared at the scene, sweat rolling off her forehead.
"That I can do," his eyes glowed red,"I have removed the explosive device from their bodies. Your wish has been granted. Farewell."
A bright yellow light erupted and took over Shenron's body, and the dragon balls flew up to the sky, and then dispersed around the Earth. 18 felt up her body to see if the bomb inside her had really been removed.
Gohan wiped the remaining tears from his eyes and stared to the sky in odd determination. Nodding to himself, he turned back to his friends.
"Krillin, why did you wish for something like that?" Trunks asked. "I feel sorry for them, alright? I mean, wouldn't you? Having a bomb stuck in your body is pretty bad, I reckon..." He said with a blush.
"But Krillin, speaking of bombs, why did you also remove the bomb from 17's body?" Ten asked.
"Well, I mean it's true I'm fond of her, but don't you think 18 would be better off with 17 instead of me?" Krillin answered, twiddling his fingers.
"Well that sounds like something you would do Krillin." Yamcha said.
"This is that love business that I'll never understand, isn't it? I'll never get." Piccolo said. The group laughed, not because it was funny, but the fact this whole ordeal was over.
Just then, though, 18 stepped out from the pillar she was hiding behind, "You idiot! 17 and I are twins! Dumbass!"
"T-Twins?" Krillin stammered.
"Oi, Krillin, you can do it afterall, he's just her brother! She can't marry her brother! You got it in the bag!"
"Don't get any unwanted ideas, though, I'm not grateful you removed the bomb or anything, got that?!" She walked forward some steps, and looked back to Krillin, who in turn looked at her, "See you later," She finished, running off.
"Krillin! She said 'see you later'! That means you got a chance!" "Really?!" Krillin yelled, grabbing onto Yamcha's collar, "Calm down, Krillin!" Yamcha dusted himself off, and resumed, "Yeah, I mean, I've got the most love experience out all of us, so I think I'm a good source," Krillin blushed, 'I've got hope after all' he thought with a smile.
"But Krillin, sure she may be a monster but just because she has a nice face and body doesn't mean you should get your hopes up. There is high competitive rates, after all," Yamcha said, laughing, which Gohan followed suit.
Piccolo sighed, "I definitely do not get this shit..."
Yamcha, Gohan, and Krillin laughed harder because of that.
After everything had been done. The group had said their goodbyes. Trunks would soon go back to his future, Ten would disappear again, Piccolo would stay at the lookout, Krillin would try finding 18, Yamcha would keep playing baseball, and Gohan would have to face his mother.
Oh how he wanted to stay the night.
I'm here with another line break! Hope you're enjoying the story so far, this lone chapter took me 6 hours, as it's been awhile since I've actually written anything.
As for the author's note, In the english dub, it is said Shenron grants two wishes. But it is actually explained in the manga that Shenron can give 3 wishes, but if they're is a massive wish such as wishing back a huge population, it takes an extra wish with it.
Also, for Tenshinhan and King Kai/Kaiou, which do you prefer? Just say so if you review, and I'll take it into consideration. Critiques are not only welcome but highly encouraged, as it is the only way I'll get better. See ya!
