Mint looked up and paled. Her hair had flown up when she fell, and while the Distructo Disk hadn't cut her head off…

"Is that…hair?" She ran to the pile of hair. She bit her lip and closed her eyes. She attempted to run her hands through her hair, but got nothing but air. Realization hit her. "Is that…my hair?" Goku paled as she lifted her hand.

"M-Mint…don't freak out…" He squeaked.

Mint grabbed what she could. Her hair was short, as short as Gohan's. Her eyes widened.

Gohan felt a chill as he recognized the look on her face.

Flashback!

Gohan and Goku looked towards the door. Gohan had Mint on his back. "Dad, can't we wait for Mint to wake up before we go?"

"Trust me, she'll wake up as soon as she hears everyone."

Gohan laid her down. "I think I've got a better way to wake her up. You go on ahead." He chirped.

Goku blinked. "What're you gonna do?" Gohan smiled. He grabbed a pair of scissors. "Gohan…" Goku muttered in a warning tone. He grabbed a fistful of Mint's hair. "Gohan! Don't do it!"

Gohan cut Mint's hair. As soon as it hit the floor, her eyes snapped opened.

Mint blinked and looked around. She moved her head, side to side. Her hair swished. To Goku and Gohan, it looked like she was weighing her hair. She looked to the ground behind her, and saw two inches of hair on the floor.

Just two inches.

Her eyes widened. She looked at her brother and father. "Who did that." She said quietly.

She wasn't asking.

Her voice sounded forgiving, and her expression even moreso. And that's what scared Gohan. His expression told all. She looked at his hands and saw the scissors.

"You…" Goku sighed and walked out of the chamber.

Gohan's eyes widened. Her expression changed. She looked ready to kill. One thing ran through his mind. 'Run.' Gohan ran out of the chamber screaming. "AAAAHH! DAD! HELP! SHE'S GONNA KILL ME!" Mint flew out after him.

"YOU DAMN RIGHT I AM! APOLOGIZE IF YOU WANNA LIVE!"

End of Flashback!

The look on her face, was literally ten times worse. She wasn't ready to kill. She was ready to destroy.

Trunks looked at Goku. "W-what's with that look?"

Goku bit his lip. "Remember when Mint and Gohan came out of the chamber? And how Mint was so furious at him?" Trunks nodded. "He had cut two inches of her hair."

Everyone paled. "A-all that rage…" Tien muttered. He looked at Mint. "Th-That was over two inches?"

"Yeah. And look at how much that Cell Jr. chopped off." Goku choked out.

Gohan gulped. "If two inches agrivates her…all that…I can't even describe her fury."

Goku looked at the unlucky Cell Jr. "I actually feel bad for the little guy…"


Mint turned around, and looked at everyone behind her. "Who did that." She growled. Everyone pointed to the Cell Jr. who had committed the act.

He smirked uneasily. "W-what are you gonna do about it?" His voice shook.

Before you could even blink, Mint had Cell Jr. by the throat. "Time Twister…" She whispered. She was sixteen now. Cell Jr. stared in horror. The girl who was once the same size as him, was now at least three times bigger than him.

Cell's eyes widened. "That child was Mint?" He asked.

The only remaining female Saiyan's eyes seemed appeared to have turned blue, then red. They seemed be attempting to burn a hole in his head. "Do you know…" She brought Cell Jr. close. "How long it took me to grow that out!?" She squeezed his throat, and he began to gag and kick ferociously, trying to escape her grasp, which only tightened with every move he made. "Twelve damn years!" She tossed him down with all the force she could muster out. A huge crater in the ground formed upon impact. "And you just chop it?!" She formed a ki ball. "Big mistake! CHAOTIC RAMPAGE!" She tossed it at Cell Jr.

The poor thing didn't even get the chance to scream.

Everyone stared in horror. Mint's eyes returned to purple as she looked at the remaining Jrs. They stared. Petrified. They all glared and flew upwards, before attacking her all at once with Tien's Tri Beam. Mint spread out her arms and formed an energy shield. There was an explosion. When the smoke cleared, Mint wasn't in the energy shield.

They all smiled anxiously and started laughing, assuming she was defeated. They didn't even notice Mint as she appeared behind them.

Cell couldn't stop himself from blurting out, "Behind you!"

She held her hand like it was a gun. "Bang." They spun around, only to one giant ki beam headed towards them. Just like the first, they didn't even get to scream. Mint landed on the ground. She looked around at all that looked at her. "What!?" She snapped, her eyes briefly turning blue and then red. They all looked away. She sat down and felt her hair. "Twelve years…it took me twelve years…" She groaned. She sighed. 'I put too much ki into killing those things. I didn't need to use that much power! Now I'm tired and I need to recharge!' She closed her eyes. "Rookie mistake…"

Cell smirked. "I sense your dilemma." His smirk grew. "After I kill your brother, I'll take you on date. Will that make you feel better?"

Mint turned green. "No way!"

Cell shrugged. "If it helps, I think your hair looks cuter short."

Her eyes turned red. She trembled with rage. "Go jump in bucket of acid, set yourself on fire, roll in rubbing alcohol, then die, burn in Hell, come back to life, redo the process, but before you die, KameHameHa yourself, then shove your own foot up your ass, die, burn in Hell, meet the Grand Kai, have him shove a knife down your throat, gut you, and force you to eat your internal organs!" She panted. "Repeat the process, but before the whole KameHameHa, have me beat the hell out of you until you cough up every single person you absorbed, then I'll kill you, and you can BURN IN THE ETERNAL FLAMES OF HELL!" She said all of this while flipping him off.

Silence. Not even crickets dared to chirp.

"Wow." Cell chuckled. "Good thing that the camera and microphone broke, or else your language would scar some children for life…" He laughed.

Trunks gulped. "M-Man…I sure hope that the past me doesn't cut her hair as a prank or something when he's older." He muttered.

Vegeta was in shock. 'All the effort we had just to fight those things, and she defeated them so easily. Even though she used an unnecessary amount of power, she still beat them with ease! First Kakarrot, then his son surpasses me…now his daughter, who could barely see less than two weeks ago and is not even a Super Saiyan!? When will this humiliation end?!' He thought.

Mint growled as she sat on the ground. 'It shouldn't take me too long to regain my energy, but my instincts tell me that Gohan is going to need my help before I'm fully charged.' She glowed lightly as she watched Cell fight against Gohan. Eventually, Gohan lost the upperhand, and Android 16 interfered. "Satoshi?" She asked.

16 held Cell in a bear hug. He began to charge his self-destruct bomb. Krillin yelled out. "16 STOP! Bulma took out your bombs!"

"What?!" 16 asked.

Cell began to laugh. "Looks like your little plan failed. Not like your bomb would've been enough to destroy me. But since you have a death wish." He blasted the android.

Mint's eyes widened. "SATOSHI!" She screamed. She felt tears form in her eyes. Gohan stared at Cell with disbelief. They dropped their heads, shock on their faces. Cell laughed.

They lifted their heads. They yelled as their powers raised in unison. Mint still needed to finish recharging, but the ki she had left raised to a very high level. She screamed of anger. Pain. Sorrow…

Mint was becoming overwhelmed. She dropped her head and stared at the ground. "I've never been so enraged before…my body isn't use to this stress…I don't think I can handle it…" She whispered. She attempted to heal herself, but she ended up falling forward, fainting. She fell with a heavy thud, her eyes only half closed. Empty.

Gohan looked at her. "Mint-onee?" He flew up to her and picked her up. Her purple eyes were hollow, and her breathing was quick. He flew her up to her father. "What happened?"

"Goran is a normally peaceful girl. She usually holds back her rage very well." Piccolo explained. "She's become so stressed, so enraged in so little time, that her mind and body couldn't handle it." He folded his arms. "Her body's response was to fall unconscious and recover."

Goku cradled his daughter. "She should be fine within twenty minutes, but it's best she doesn't fight anymore."

Gohan glared at Cell. "You absorbed my sister's boyfriend, and her precious new friend…destroyed Android 16…" His power raised. "And now you've driven her over the edge and destroyed her peace of mind! Cell, I'm taking you out!" He charged.


Mint's breathing was shallow. She wasn't close to dying, but her body and mind were both so angry with her. Her eyes were open, and hollow, giving her the appearance of a dead girl. Even though her eyes were open, she couldn't see.

'Have I gone blind again?' She thought.

One minute passed.

Goku gripped her tightly.

'What happened to me? When did I become so angry? I wasn't even that mad about my hair being chopped. I mean, hell yeah, I was damn pissed off and ready to kill, but my anger was feuled by something else! But what?!' She thought. 'I had almost a year to get over Lapis and Lazuli's deaths, even though I'm not completely over them, that couldn't have been it!'

Five minutes.

She heard a boom. Cell called Gohan a monster.

'I've been able to bottle up my anger, and release it through meditation since I was five.'

Ten minutes.

Goku yelled at Gohan to finish it. Gohan wanted Cell to suffer.

'Wait…is that it?' She thought.

Fifteen minutes. Something about Android 18 was said. Goku put Mint into Vegeta's arms.

'Is it possible that in those moments…' Her eyelids trembled. She was regaining consciousness. 'I've released over a decade of bottled up anger and frustration?'

Twenty.

"DAAAADDDDYYYYYYYY!"

Mint's eyes closed and opened. She took in a deep breath of air, as if she had drowned. She looked at Vegeta. "Vegeta?" He looked at her. He put her down, surprisingly gently. She sat up, and nearly fell again had it not been for the Saiyan prince's support. She looked at Gohan. She didn't see Cell. "Did he…?" Vegeta looked at her. She looked at Trunks. "W-Why is everyone so quiet? Didn't Gohan beat Cell?"

Trunks shook his head. "No…Goku did."

Mint nodded. She looked around for Goku. "Then…where is he?" She asked. She noticed Gohan crying. She massaged her shoulder. She forced herself to stand. She slid down the cliff she was on with the fighters, and stumbled to Gohan. She fell onto her knees. "Gohan-chi? Why are you crying?"

Gohan looked at her. "I…I killed Daddy." He cried.

"What?"

"I…made Cell cough up Android 18, but instead of killing Cell, I let him suffer and he began to activate his self-destruct sequence…" He began to choke on his words. "D-Daddy…" He cried. "U-Used Instant Transmission, a-and took him s-somewhere else…and Cell exploded and D-Daddy…" He began to sob uncontrollably. "I killed Daddy, Mint! I killed him! If I had just listened, and not let the power overshadow my mind…It's my fault!" He cried.

Mint stared at her brother. "No you didn't." She said blankly. She held her brother. "Papa-chan did that by choice, didn't he? No one told him to." She could already tell. "You didn't kill Papa-chan. Cell did. It's not your fault."

Gohan closed his eyes. "Yes it is!"

Mint stared at him. Words won't work. This was going to stick with him for the rest of his life. She closed her eyes and stood up. "Fine then. It is your fault." Everyone stared at her with disbelief. She brought her leg back. "You're the reason Papa-chan is dead, right?" Gohan stared at her with surprising fear. She kicked him, right on the stomach, sending him flying upwards. She flew up above him, and clasped her hands together, slamming him to the ground. "You wanna believe that Gohan?!"

"Goran, what are you doing?!" Piccolo asked.

"Shut up, would ya?!" She snapped. She glared at her brother. She formed two ki pom poms. "I'll ask you again. Is it your fault that Papa-chan is dead?"

Gohan groaned as he got up. He looked up at her. "I…I don't…" He looked down. "…Yes."

"Pom Pom Mirage!" Gohan ran as he dodged them all. One got him in the back and he fell, groaning. "Get up! I'm not even Super Saiyan and I barely have enough ki to properly hurt you!" Gohan sat up and began to cry. Mint flew down and walked up to him. She stood over him. "Stop crying." He didn't. He actually sobbed louder. Mint growled. "I said stop crying!" He flinched and forced himself to fight the tears. She grabbed him by his uniform and pulled him up, his feet dangling as she forced him to look at her. "Did you tell him to do what he did?" Gohan stared at her with horror. "If you make me repeat myself…"

Gohan panicked. "No, I didn't tell him!"

Mint pulled him closer. "Did he ask you if he could do that?"

"N-No!"

She glared at her brother. "Then how the hell is it your fault?" Gohan looked down. "Look at me when I'm talking to you! Answer the damn question!"

"I-I couldn't stop him!" Gohan shouted. "It was because of me that he had to sacrifice himself!" He fought back his tears. He sniffed. "If I had destroyed Cell when I had the chance, he'd still be here!"

Mint slapped her brother with her free hand. "So what!? What's done is done, idiot!" Gohan bit his bottom lip. "If Papa-chan had done what you did, he would've sacrificed himself either way because he's just that kind of man! He cares more about Earth and the life on it than he does himself! If he had the choice on whether saving himself, or dying a hundred times to protect the earth, which one do you think he'd choose!?"

"The-the second one!"

"Duh!" She threw him down. "Now I'm gonna ask you one last time. And if you answer wrong," She narrowed her eyes and formed a ki ball in her hand. "I'm going to send you to where Papa-chan is." Gohan gulped. "Did you kill him?"

Gohan shook his head. "No…"

Mint let out a sigh of relief. "Phew…if I had to play bad cop any longer, I'd probably explode!" She chirped. Everyone sweatdropped.

"W-Whoa…" Krillin muttered.

"I…I don't think I've ever been more afraid of a woman in my life…" Yamcha muttered.

Mint smiled and put her hand on her little brother's head. "Sorry about that, Gohan-chi. I couldn't let you live on believing you killed Papa-chan." Gohan held his head. "I knew words alone wouldn't get to you, so I had to beat you up a little." Gohan smiled uneasily. She tilted her head and kissed his forehead. "Krillin, give him a senzu bean, would ya?"

Krillin looked at her, before at Lazuli, who laid beside him. "Yeah." He dug through the bag, trying to find the last senzu bean within.

Mint sighed. "You're too slow, I'll do it." She hugged her little brother and they began to glow. "I should be done in a few seconds. I think I've got just enough ki to heal you half-way. Dende can do the rest, okay?"

"Y-yeah…" Gohan muttered. Suddenly, all froze. Mint stopped healing. She stood up. A ki blast shot. She flew in front of Trunks and spread her arms out and put up her energy shield.

The beam went through the shield, and through her stomach, and past onto Trunks, right through the chest. Trunks fell backwards, Mint fell beside him.

They heard a maniacal laughter. "Who did I hit? Was it Trunks?"

"C-Cell?" Gohan asked. He growled. He ran to Mint and Trunks. "Goran, Trunks!?"

Mint's fingers twitched and she brushed her fingers onto Trunks' skin. "…" For a split second they glowed together. Trunks coughed up blood, Mint did as well, not too long after. They stopped glowing.

Gohan listened to their breathing. There was none. "N-no…" He began to cry. He glared at Cell. "YOU KILLED MY SISTER! YOU KILLED THEM BOTH! CELL!"

Vegeta glared at Cell. He yelled out and charged for Cell. "Vegeta no!"

"FINAL FLASH!" He yelled. To his shock, Cell wasn't even the least affected.

"Hmph." Cell shot a ki blast at Vegeta. Gohan ran in front of Vegeta. He broke his arm blocking it. Cell smirked and got into position. Everyone gasped.

"No! Not that!"

"Kame…Hame…HA!"
