Chapter 11 Gabriella's POV- i own nothing!
Everyone went their separate ways; the scouts stayed at Capsule Corp, Z fighters went to their respected homes except for Yamcha and Vegeta. Me Serena and Rini were going to go home with dad, Trunks wanted to stay here with his dad, no matter how much I tried to pursue him to go with us.
"Are you sure you don't want to go with us?" I asked one more time
"Yeah I'm sure and I'm sure you want to spend time with your dad too." He replied. He gently helped me back up since I was still weak from my fight with Imperfect Cell who is now in his perfect form. I had some injuries a few on my leg that made it hard to walk, some cuts on my face, and on my arms. But nothing too serious that can't be healed through rest. I got lucky according to Bulma, it could've gotten pretty bad if Picollo and the others hadn't stepped in. we left a few minutes later and I guess I was in my own little world, since I was spacing off. Serena had to shout to get my attention and we weren't even flying anymore. We were outside enjoying the fresh air. Gohan was still inside studying under dad's wishes which freaked everyone out, especially mom. Just the look on her face was priceless, she even checked for his temperature to see if he was sick or something.
"Are you okay mom?" Serena asked "Are you in pain or something?"
"No I'm fine Serena; see? I'm in no pain or anything." I smiled the best I could, she seemed to by it. But not Rini.
"Thinking about the fight with Cell Grandma G?" Rini read my mind. She was always so intuitive, dad started listening as well.
"Yeah I guess I am." I sighed "I guess I should tell you what happened huh?" the three nodded eager to find out what happened for me to get so badly beaten up. I think my dad was the more curious one then all of them.
"Well I guess I should start from when we separated." I sighed not really willing to tell them.
"You think we should split up?" Krillin asked through the wind.
"Yeah that's a good idea. Alright Gabriella, Sailor Mars, and Krillin together, and the rest with me."Picollo ordered. I looked over at Trunks one last time then flew off with Krillin and Mars. Our goal was too shut off Android 18 before Cell even thinks about absorbing her like he did 17.
"You ok to shut off 18?"I shouted at Krillin.
"Yeah it should be easy enough just point and press." He said repeating the words Bulma and Ami had used earlier. It wasn't long before we found 18, she was by herself out pass city limits covered by mountains as Michelle had suggested. I just hope the guys are having the same good luck as we are. We hid in front of a large boulder casually waiting for a turn to make a move.
"When should we pounce Gabriella?" Mars asked ready to fight.
"Okay I'll fire the first blast then Mars you fire the same time as me. Krillin as soon as the blast hits her you hit the button. Got it?" I whispered. Sailor Mars nodded but Krillin looked a little unsure of himself. I powered up and immediately 18 recognized I was there. I shouted my attack a long with Mars "Mars Flame Sniper!" "Cosmic Blast!" it was enough to knock her off her feet, we both ended up landed on the other side of the field. Krillin was just standing there with the remote in his hand, not pressing the button.
"Krillin what are you doing? press the damn button!"I shouted getting angry, my power rose the more I did.
"Gabby calm down just a minute." Mars said trying to soothe me, Krillin looked at both of us with an apologetic expression, put the remote on the ground, and then stepped on it.
"Krillin what the hell!" I shouted once more. He was only looking at 18 nothing else…could he be…?
"Run now Android 18." She stood there shocked at him.
"Why would you do that? I've done nothing but hurt you and your friends. Why would you help me?"She couldn't even move.
"I have no reason now just run before they attack you." Does he mean me and Sailor Mars?
"Krillin!" Mars shouted getting just as angry. She started aiming for 18 "Yuma …!" I froze where I stood I felt another entity coming straight for us and just by the feel of it I knew immediately who it was. Imperfect Cell shot a blats without Mars looking and she landed on the ground almost completely knocked out. I ran over to see if she still had a pulse or anything rather.
"Raye!" I shouted using her civilian name. She lifted her head ever so slightly and smirked just a tiny bit.
"Gabby I'll be..." she passed out in my arms. With the rage I was in my power increased tenfold, I turned into a Super Saiyin once more as I turned to Krillin.
"Krillin leave now before I kill you with the anger I'll have left over." I ordered.
"Gabriella I didn't mean... …For any of this…" I interrupted him and hopefully scared him
"JUST GO NOW AND WARN THE OTHERS!" I screamed, I don't think I ever have yelled at anyone in my life other then my brother.
"Right I'll take Sailor Mars with me then, it's the least I can do." He said he ran over to Mars picked her up and flew off, I only saw this out of the corner of my eyes, Cell was the only concern at the moment, when I fully turned to look at him he just grinned.
"Why are you smiling at me?" I snarled the anger was definitely taking over.
"I finally get the pleasure of fighting the only daughter of Goku. Of course I would be smiling." His grin got bigger and I got angrier.
"Well you're in for one hell of a ride." I smirked, I began punching him repeatedly but it seemed every time I did it was pointless. I kept missing and being me I got tired enough to start throwing blasts at him. Nothing I tried to do seemed to take any effect on him! He somehow managed to get behind me and punched me square in the back. I started to fall on the ground out of the pain but for some reason he caught me, he raised us high off the ground holding me by the shirt I was wearing and kneed me in the stomach. I yelled out in pain, hoping someone would hear me. I knew no one would for a long time though. He continued to torture me for what felt like an eternity. Cell eventually let me go and I fell hard on the ground head first. I tried getting up but every time I did I felt dizzy. Once I got a hold of myself I got back up and charged after him. I was becoming weaker and weaker with every punch and every blats. "Lightning Laser!" I tried shouting, it only came out as a whisper but it got him.
"Why even bother anymore? You know you have no strength left to fight! So why try?" I looked up at him or tried to at least.
"I have to save this time, in order to do that I have to kill you."I said in very short breaths. I fell back to my knees being too weak to stand. Cell slowly started to walk over to me. As He did he stood over me for a brief second and then grabbed me by my throat. I tried to get free but as I did I lost air …I heard someone in the background but I couldn't tell who it was …it almost sounded like Trunks…
"Gabriella!"He did something too make Cell let go of me…I heard battle noises in the background...but nothing but Trunks' voice could be comprehended…
"Gabby! Say something! Please!"He begged
"Have...To protect...18" I choked out my voice sounded so raspy it hurt to even talk
"Why?"
"Protect one to kill another..." I could barely keep my eyes open...I looked towards the fighting scene. Picollo was fighting Cell, many times he would try to use his stinger but just barely everyone would dodge it. I then noticed Vegeta Tien and Chiatziou were there also...But where were Krillin and Raye? Was Raye alright?
"Where's Raye and Krillin?" I squeaked with the voice I had
"Krillin has her she was awake and alright when we saw her …did she get knocked out?" all I did was nod. Or tried to. I tried getting up but I couldn't. I couldn't even transform now. Without even noticing, a beam went straight for us making us fly off the ground and hitting the side of a boulder. I screamed as more pain hit me, Trunks had his body protectively over me. As if was he was shielding me. I was about to pass out at this point in time but I still heard the battle going on. I heard "Special Beam Canon!" from Piccolo, but I don't know if know if it did any damage too him… I highly doubt it at this point.
"He's sucking up all of our attacks!" shouted Vegeta. So that's why I haven't been able to do any damage to him! Or anyone else for that matter...
"We have to abandon the mission! " Yelled Piccolo, I had my eyes closed at this point but my hearing was working perfectly "We have to get Gabriella out of here and fast." It felt as though we were flying since I felt the air on my face. I was still in Trunks arms. He had a good grip on me but I could something was behind us trying to get us off track. … The feeling I had was confirmed, Cell was aiming attacks left and right. Every now and then he would use his own attacks but once in a while I swear I heard mine... "Lightning Laser!" he shouted in his perfect silk voice. The attack was strong enough for Trunks to accidentally let go of me and I felt myself falling to the ground...I tried to get myself to at least power up enough so I can fly but nothing worked. Before I fell to the ground I was caught by someone other than Trunks … it was Piccolo…after that everything else just seemed to fade away…
"Wow." I heard Serena and Rini say. Gohan just sat there dumbstruck.
"So he can absorb attacks now huh?" dad asked. I nodded my head yes. "This definitely makes it even more challenging." I could've sworn I saw him smile.
*TRUNKS POV * Capsule Corporation
Gabriella and the girls decided to go home with Goku for the next seven days; I decided to stay at home and try to get to know my father. It really hasn't worked as well I hoped. Mom and future Gohan did say he was arrogant but I guess I never knew how bad it was. Gabriella has it good; her dad is kind and care free when the time calls for it. Past mom wasn't any different than my mom back at home just that she's holding little me all the time. I guess I forgot I was born around this time… oh well the damage is already done.
"Where are you going Vegeta?" I heard my mom ask. I turned to where they were, the girls did as well.
"Well if Kakorat is going to train then so am I."
"Who said they went to train?" Raye asked from where she was laying. "Gabby said…" my father interrupted her … bad move dad.
"Trust me it's in his blood to fight it would surprise me if he didn't. " Raye didn't say anything at all; all she did was mumble... smart move Raye.
"I unfortunately have to agree with Vegeta on this one... it would be wise especially for the tournament." Michelle said.
"Yeah I agree with her." Father said. It almost sounded as if he didn't mean it. I got up from where I was so I could be right next to him.
"Can I train with you father?" I hoped I knew it was long shot from happening
"No you'll just slow me down." He retorted.
"I promise I won't get in your way, I can prove that I'm a good fighter." I persuaded
"Fine if you stay out of my way I'll let you join me." He smirked "If you think you can last long anyway."
"Don't worry I can." I said determined.
"Well meet me in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber within the next hour and if your late I'll go in without you."
"Hyperbolic Time Chamber?" Ami wondered "Why there?"
"Well if it can work for Kakorot it'll work for me." With that my father left and my mother rolled her eyes.
"I don't see why he always has to compete with Goku. It's almost getting to the point where it's unhealthy" she sighed.
"I don't know mom." I turned to look at her and the scouts. "If anyone needs me I'll be out for the day, someone make sure to tell Gabriella for me."
"I'll make sure she knows Trunks." Lita volunteered. She had fully recovered from the heart virus after a couple days of ago much to everyone's relief. I smiled, mouthing thank you, and started off to find my dad once again.
LITA's POV
I don't see why he always has to have Vegeta's approval. It doesn't seem like Vegeta even really cares about anyone other than himself. Which really ticks me off since Trunks is at least trying to get to know him. I was hanging with Mina, Raye- who is feeling a little better since her fight with perfect Cell- and Ami. It felt a little odd not having Serena and Rini around, but I guess its good thing she's spending time with her grandfather and uncle for once.
"How are you feeling Raye?" I wondered
"A little better I'm somewhat sore but at least I can move around now." She laughed "well now I can since Gabby isn't here!" I joined with her.
"Yeah but Gabby means well if it wasn't for her you probably wouldn't be here right now Raye." I said standing up for her. Ever since Gohan in our time had died Gabriella really became like my mother, probably the only one I'll ever have.
"Good point." She sighed in agreement. "Are you going up to tell Gabriella?" she asked as I got up.
"I think I should." I smiled
"You just want to see Gohan again. " Mina giggled joining the conversation. I started blushing.
"So what if I do!"I defended myself. I almost shouted some of the outer scouts started to pay attention, mostly Michelle.
"You still like him that way don't you?" she questioned.
"No just as a friend." I paused. "Why do you?"
"Ew no way!" she shot back. "He's like a brother to me!"
"Then why did always flirt with him when he was giving us flying lessons?" Ami intervened, trying to calm the situation which really wasn't working.
"You did what Mina?" I shrieked from shock, everyone was paying attention now, even Bulma's parents...
"Don't worry it was before you two got together!" she defended herself
"Oh like that makes it any better!" I said sarcastically. I was boggled to think that one my best friends would flirt with my boyfriend... well he wasn't at the time but she knew I liked him! Or at least I thought she did...
It was a nice sunny day at Mt. Poaz and Trunks thought it would be a good idea for Gohan to teach us Sailor Scouts how to fly. It could've been very useful against the Androids in our last battle. Oh well. I didn't mind this, I liked the idea of training with Gohan, I hardly ever got the opportunity too before. Only Serena and Gabriella have. They were here with us just staying on the side lines. Or in Serena's case being the peanut gallery. I never knew how cute Gohan could be then again I never really looked at him like that before. Gohan started speaking and I immediately started listening while it took Mina forever to shut up.
"Okay let's get this started shall we?" we all nodded. "How can I make it easy for your girls to understand?" he asked shaking his head.
"It wasn't this hard to teach us Gohan! Just do it the way did for us." Gabriella encouraged her older brother.
"Good idea sis!" he exclaimed. "Well in easy terms all you really have to do is take all the energy in your body and lift below you. Easy as that." He said demonstrating. He barely lifted from the ground for a brief second then floated back down. We all sat there confused, especially me. How was I supposed to do that? I normally rely on my strength not energy.
"Why don't you all try it?" he asked as he pointed at Michelle. She left Amara, and stood next to Gohan. She relaxed inhaling and exhaling; focusing on her energy she was able to lift herself off the ground for a brief second and then landed. Everyone clapped as she went back to sit next to Amara.
"Of course Michelle would be able to do it so easily!" Exclaimed Mina. "She's just like Raye!" both Raye and Michelle turned to her.
"I hope you mean that in a good way Mina." Raye said giving her a dirty look.
"Of course I do!" she said nervously laughing. Artemis tried defending Mina.
"What I think she means is that you two are very intuitive people and being that are able to control your power more."
"What Artemis is saying is right." Gohan agreed. "It would be easy for you girls. I remember it took Serena weeks longer then Gabby to learn how to fly so don't feel bad if you can't get it the first time." He laughed everyone joined with him except for Serena.
"Hey now Uncle Gohan that was mean!" she stuck her tongue out at Gohan, he just laughed "you said you wouldn't tell anyone that!' she pouted as Gabriella sighed.
"It was before you all met so does it even mean anything Serena?" she gave him a dirty look and pouted some more.
"No I guess not." She rolled her eyes
"Right let's get started everyone time to get up. Relax and just breathe." Everyone got up and stood in one straight line making it easier on Gohan. Most of us got it right away and he was very impressed, it was mainly Michelle, Ami, Raye, and Amara. Mina and I seemed to have the most difficulty. Mina even resulted to start jumping up and down.
"Mina what are you doing?" Gohan wondered after finishing helping Hotaru.
"Trying. To. Fly." She said in breathes while jumping. Gohan sighed as he walked over to her; he made her stop jumping by grabbing her waist. She blushed a brilliant red, good thing he was behind her.
"What you need to do is relax Mina." I saw the blush worsen on her cheeks as let go of her. He smiled and then looked at me. "Here's a hint I gave to Hotaru, just think light."
"Think light?" I repeated the last two words, he nodded, and Mina went by my side smiling.
"Right. Try it." He said softly. As hard as I tried bringing all I had in me to the bottom of my feet, nothing seemed to work. Well it seemed to finally work for Mina, the only reason why was because Gohan was by her side constantly. Whenever I looked over it seemed like she was flirting with him, smiling and laughing at every joke he told and even complemented on his fighting gi which he had for years according to Serena. After a while Mina finally was able to lift herself off the ground by at least two feet, but then she would get easily worn out. Almost all of the others were able to. Except for me. Why wasn't I able to at least fly two feet?
"Okay since all you of can somewhat get off the ground why don't you all call it a day? While I work with Lita?" for some reason I blushed when he said my name. The sun was starting to settle down and now it was a brilliant pink. Have we been out here that long?
"Okay see you later Gohan!"The girls shouted. Mina turned back to me and smiled.
"Okay Lita so what seems to be the trouble?" he wondered. I sighed really unwillingly to tell him. For some reason I felt oddly shy around Gohan, that was also new. I always looked to him as a close friend, mentor even.
"Well I don't know exactly Gohan, I've never really rely on my energy to much just my strength. Maybe that's my problem. I'm not as intuitive as Raye and Michelle." I sighed wishing I was. This would be so much easier.
"Don't worry about that Lita. It's not about whether you're intuitive like them it's about focusing and believing you can do it. "He smiled. Man it was breathtaking when he did. He reminded me of my ex-boyfriend….
"Really? Who taught you that?" I asked him, he seemed sadden in telling me, his smile seemed to hide the pain. I immediately felt bad for asking.
"The one who taught me everything was a friend of mine named Piccolo, and then my dad taught me some stuff before he passed."
"I'm sorry Gohan! I should've never asked!" I apologized
"It's okay Lita, don't worry that happened a long time ago." He sighed and his goofy side came shinning back. "Let's get you off the ground!" he laughed, I did too. It was great seeing him happy.
"Okay let's do this thing!" I exclaimed laughing.
"Now just remember what I told Mina and Hotaru." He said calmly. He went behind me. "this helped with Serena a few years back." He grabbed a hold of my waist, and slowly lifted us up; as I opened my eyes we were at least ten feet of the ground.
"What are you doing?" I shrieked getting a little scared. He still had his hands lightly on me.
"Like I said I did this with Serena it worked for her. She got scared enough to stay this high on her own." I laughed imaging Serena's face and Gabriella laughing all the while. I eventually felt Gohan slowly let go of me..." remember think light." He let go of me and I started to fall…it was out of nowhere…I caught myself before I had fallen on my back. When I looked down I was two feet up. I looked up at Gohan and his smile got larger.
"Way to go Lita! You made two feet!" I started laughing and when I did I must of lost focus since I fell back on the ground on my back. Gohan landed right above me looking worried, Gabriella had also come outside to see if I was okay.
"Are you alright?" she asked. I got up brushing the dirt off of my brown skirt.
"Never been better!" I said exuberantly. They looked at each other for brief a second...then they smiled.
I smiled remembering that day, I was halfway to Mt. Poaz by now and the closer I got the happier I got. It didn't take long to get there; the place looked the same as it did back at home. A little white cottage in the middle of the forest with steam floating from the chimney. I landed near the house, and can hear the sound of breaking plates and glass. I felt someone behind me and it ended up being Piccolo.
"I wouldn't go in there if I were you." He warned with a sly smile.
"Let me guess Chi- Chi going ballistic huh?" I sighed and braved on going on inside. Once I entered I immediately regretted it. Damn I should've listened to Piccolo.
"Why can't you all stop breaking stuff for more than a minute!" Chi-chi yelled.
"Chi-chi we can't help it! Its part of being a super Sayin!" pleaded Goku. It looked weird seeing someone as strong as him defending himself against someone like Chi-Chi. I felt Picollo come up next to me; I still wasn't noticed by anyone in the room.
"I told you." He chuckled a tiny bit. "Chi-Chi seems to be his only weakness." I nodded along with his statement, I don't think I was able to convince Chi-Chi on anything myself, even on being with her son.
"Oh hey Lita!" Gohan exclaimed. "I see you're all better from the heart virus! Are you okay?" he worried.
"Hmm much better Gohan thanks." I looked at Chi- Chi who was now yelling at Serena, she seemed to have broken a glass herself.
"Sorry Grandma C!" she screamed back. With Serena's voice it was almost comical.
"Lita what are you doing here?"Gabriella noticed in the midst of all the commotion, she pushed us all out including Picollo, leaving Goku, Serena, and Rini to deal with the wrath of Chi-chi. She had the biggest smile on her face that I haven't seen in years. The more I looked the more she looked like her mother, just with a more gentle side to her. Of course she has some of Goku's feature but they weren't as prominent. The only noticeable thing she had from him was probably his laugh smile and attitude.
"Oh yeah! I almost forgot!" I giggled with embarrassment. "Trunks wanted me to tell you that he is training with his father in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber."
"He is huh?" she sighed worried. "Well I hope he knows he won't get any special treatment from him." she sighed once more for her husband. "The Cell Games is in two days. I just hope he'll be okay." I could've sworn I saw tears form in her eyes. But she must have blinked them away and her smile came back but it looked forced. I heard a yell coming from the house then without even blinking Goku, Serena, and Rini was kicked out and fell on top of each other.
"How embarrassing." I Gohan muttering to himself.
"Ow! Grandpa that was my head!" she screamed at her grandfather.
"I can say the same to you!" he saw me as he looked up. "Hey Lita your better!" I giggled and nodded.
"It looks like it's hereditary for the hard headedness!" screamed Rini looking at Serena.
"Don't start with me pip squeak!" Serena glared at her future daughter. Rini snapped shut pretty quickly; I guess she gets that look pretty often at home. It wouldn't surprise me if it was a common occurrence.
"Well what do we do now that Grandma C has kicked us out?" she asked looking at Goku. He thought for a minute then answered.
"Since the day is almost over I guess we can go meet Trunks at the Look Out." He said getting up while helping Serena and Rini as well.
"Good Idea." I agreed with him. All of us started flying off I started talking to talking to Gohan, it was practically shouting considering how bad the wind was.
"So why was your mom so mad at you guys?"
"I honestly don't know!" he laughed "you got there at the perfect time." Fortunately it didn't take long to get the Look Out. It was an odd place that's for sure. It was just floating there with nothing under it. We all landed and it was honestly peaceful looking. Straight ahead you could see a golden with moons and stars on it. Was that the entrance to the Chamber?
"Hello Goku and welcome back, ah Lita your well." Dende greeted us; he was like a younger version of Picollo but cuter looking.
"Um yeah I am."
"Guys this is Dende he's going to take Kames' place of protecting the Earth." He smiled standing next to him.
"What happened to Kame dad?" Gabriella wondered. He looked at Picollo for some odd reason.
"I fused back with him, we were once one but eventually we separated, now I fused back with him for more power." He answered for him.
"Oh that makes sense!" Serena exclaimed. She turned to Dende. "Do you know if my dad and my other grandfather are almost done training?"
"Other Grandfather? So Vegeta doesn't have a name?" Goku asked.
"No he doesn't the jerk face." She grumbled, Goku just sighed.
"They should be out any minute now their day I almost up."
"Well one thing is for sure; there power has increased by a lot." Gabby said she looked towards her father. "Do you think it'll be enough dad?" she wondered
"I have no idea, but I know one of us right here right now has the power to kill Cell." He looked from Gohan and then to Serena. I heard a door open and immediately I saw Vegeta come out first. He didn't look any different but he felt stronger that's for sure.
"Looks like we have a welcoming committee." He snickered.
"For your information we were waiting on my father not you. So there!" Serena said sticking out her tongue while crossing her arms.
"Well aren't you a rude one?" he shot back at her.
"Come on now Serena be nice." Trunks said. We all turned to him as I heard Gabby gasp out of shock. Serena ran over to her father and started hugging him like she hasn't seen him in forever.
"Dad!" she squealed with delight. There so much change to Trunks, he's stronger then he was before …his lavender hair was longer practically down to his shoulders and in a messy ponytail. He gained more muscle and it was sticking through his ripped shirt. Gabby ran to him next hugging him.
"Are you okay?" she worried. I don't think she noticed his hair everyone else has. "You're not hurt are you?" she asked looking up at him, he does look taller now too now that I look at him more.
"No I'm fine I'm just a little worn out." He noticed Goku Gohan and I then, "what are you guys doing here I expected Gabby Serena and Rini would show up but not you three."
"Well um Chi-chi sort of kicked us out so that's why we came here." He chuckled
"She got made cause Serena and Great Grandpa G wouldn't stop breaking anything for more than three seconds!" Rini exclaimed.
"Hey I wasn't the only one you know!" Serena pointed at Gohan. "He broke something too!"
"Hey now leave me out of this!" Gohan said to his niece. "I couldn't help it."
"It's okay everyone she'll get over it eventually. " I heard something coming for us in the far distance it almost sounded like a car. But who would be coming here?
Trunks POV
As I was looking down at my wife I heard a loud noise coming straight for us. The flying car landed and out stepped my young mother with my younger self. I could hear Rini say "wow grandpa trunks as a baby..."
"Hey you guys the scouts said I would find you guys at Mt. Poaz but you weren't there!" she said as she closed up her car in a little capsule.
"Yeah um well apparently they got kicked out mom." I explained for Goku.
"Oh well that doesn't surprise me." She laughed as she was looking for another capsule. "While you guys were busy training and such I made you some new armor," she threw the capsule on the ground and out came a plastic tub. "I tried basing it on Vegeta's Saiyin Armor; I changed it a little for the girls I hope it turned out well." Serena and Rini ran over to the plastic container looking for their sizes. Eventually they did, they looked like the ones dad wore constantly except these were blue, and these also had the feminine touch that his didn't have.
"These look awesome Grandma B!" they both said, we all laughed.
"Why I'm glad you like them girls." She smiled as little me cooed
"I don't see the point if the sailor girls where them and if they transform they'll be wearing something completely different." Father sneered, the girls ignored him trying to find all the parts to the outfit
"Oh Vegeta just let them be." Mom argued with him He only rolled his eyes.
"Well I think they fit great!" all the girls had tried them on when we looked away. Serena and Rini looked like completely new people with them on, it hugged all of their curves just right, it almost made me worried when we would see the other guys, but then I saw Gabriella and immediately forgot about Serena… the armor she had on hugged every curve manageable and the shoes added some height to her. It just seemed to fit together with her short hair.
"Wow mom you look great!" complimented Serena.
"Yeah what Serena said Grandma G!" agreed Rini.
"Well what do you think Trunks?" Gabby asked me, for some reason I blushed a crimson red. Even after all of these years she can still manage that.
"Um well you look great Gabs." I said looking away as everyone laughed. She walked over to me.
"Why thank you." She kissed me on the cheek, like that helped the blushing. She giggled getting the joy out of humiliating me; she grabbed my hand and I took it without question.
"So Kakorat do you think me or my son have the chance of defeating Cell?" Father asked.
"No." he simply stated, which didn't please him at all.
"And why not Kakorat?" he asked, he was getting visibly angry.
"You're not strong enough." He simply said again. Father got angry enough to leave.
"What's wrong with Grandpa V?" wondered Serena after helping Rini with her armor. She ended up falling on the ground when Serena ignored her; she was trying to get her boot on.
"Ow Serena!"
"Oh sorry Rini!" she helped her back up. Goku answered for her
"He's just mad because all of the work he did was for nothing." I sighed, poor dad. If I or my father's strength aren't the ones who can possibly defeat Cell then who can? Apparently Gabby read my thoughts and asked for me.
"So dad who do you think it is then?" she asked leaning on my shoulder. She looked worn out.
"We're just going to have to wait and see aren't we?" he smirked; now I know where Gabriella gets that from.
"Oh come on dad you're not even gonna give us a hint on who it could be?" she begged.
"Well just imagine someone young." Someone young? Like Serena and the scouts young? Or Gohan? I looked towards my daughter and thought for a minute. Her power has changed so dramatically over the last few weeks. But I doubt it'll be enough. I then looked at Gohan he was busy helping Rini with the rest of her armor. Maybe him? It seemed more likely then Serena. But he just seemed so innocent to defeat him. Maybe the more innocent can be the one to defeat him? Was that what Goku was thinking. I then looked towards him, he just nodded. So Gohan is the hope for the Universe? We'll just have to wait and see….
