A New Hope For The Future
Gohan is exhausted from his battle with Cell and can no longer fight. Knowing this Trunks stands in Cells way in his masters stead.
Chapter 11
The two saiyans stared in horror as Cell regenerated. Gohan thought Cell was beaten and dropped his guard. Cell rushed forward and kicked Gohan in the chest. He gathered energy in his hand and blasted Gohan into the ground. Trunks stared in disbelief as the smoke cleared. Gohan's transformation wore off as he lay unconscious on the ground. Blood covered his body and the ground. Trunks sighed a sigh of relief because he originally thought his master was dead.
Cell laughed hysterically as he readied another energy blast. Trunks flew in front of Gohan and readied himself. Cell suddenly stopped and looked pitifully at Trunks "Trunks? You've already proven your no match for me, so why continue to protect him?" Trunks looked at his mentor "Because he would do the same thing for me and has! He's saved my life countless times from the androids, Cooler and even you! Then you ask me why I defend him? I defend him because this time he needs protecting and I'm the only one that can do it! So get ready Cell, because this time I won't hold back!" Trunks raised his energy. Cell gazed in utter surprise as the young warriors strength began to surpass his current level. Trunks brought out more and more power. His aura grew larger as his strength continued to rise. Cell smiled, surprised by Trunks' growth "Your power level is as high as Gohan's was! This could be interesting". Cell equalled him and the two flew towards each other!
Their elbows collided in an explosion of power! They vanished and collided again. Goku watched from otherworld "Hey Vegeta you need to see this! They look even but Trunks is edging ahead slightly!" Piccolo shook his head "Yes but we still haven't seen Cell's full power. Besides he isn't at full strength, Trunks is". Vegeta grunted "Yes but they both worked together at the start. This is still anyone's fight". Goku smiled and nodded his head "Yeah! Got get him Trunks. With Gohan out you're the only hope the earth has for peace!"
Dende turned to Bulma and Chi-Chi "Gohan's been beaten? I need to help them! Mr Popo if both they're energy levels drop to low then summon the dragon to restore their power". Dende leaped into the air and flew towards West City to aid his friends.
An earthling rose from the rubble around West City "Wow that Cell guy really did a number on this place! But I can see through his tricks because I'm the great Hercule!" Trunks deflected a blast and flew towards the streets below. Cell followed but Trunks easily lost him. Cell calmed himself and looked around slowly! He turned around and crossed his arms as he blocked Trunks' punch! Trunks smiled and caught his wrist. He spun the android around and around before finally sending him flying into a building!
Cell destroyed the building and looked at Trunks. He was beginning to respect the young warrior for his strength. Cell suddenly felt something hit his head. He turned and saw Hercule throwing stones at him "Is this for real? What makes a mere human think he can stand against my power?" Hercule began punching and kicking the air "You see this Cell? I've seen all those tricks of yours! You do it all with mirrors and bombs and lights! Any cheap magician can do that!" Trunks landed beside Cell "What's with this clown?" Cell shrugged his shoulders "Get him to leave before I do!" Trunks walked towards Hercule "Hey champ! Do me a favour? My friend is lying unconscious over there. Move him to someplace safe". Hercule looked at Trunks and then at Cell "You got it!" Hercule ran off towards Gohan's unconscious body.
Trunks returned his attention to Cell "Shall we?" Cell nodded and twisted his body! His tail shot outwards towards Trunks! Trunks move to the right and caught it! He threw Cell to the ground and placed his foot on Cell's tail! Trunks began tugging at his tail. He finally ripped it out and Cell screamed in agony! Trunks rushed forward and smacked him across the face with it! Trunks smiled and tossed the tail to the ground. He drew his sword and flared his aura! He swung his sword through the air, releasing a concentrated wave of energy that cut Cell in half!
Cell regenerated "I see you have great skill with a blade. Too bad it can't kill me!" Trunks grunted. He knew Cell was right. He had to work out a plan to stop Cell's regeneration. He had studied Gohan's fight down to the last detail, the amount of energy Gohan used, the techniques he used and even the way he moved. Gohan had lost because Cell could regenerate. Trunks looked down as Hercule ran away with Gohan slung over his shoulder.
Trunks smiled. He didn't want to use his full power with Gohan so close. "Okay Cell now you see my full power!" Trunks reached for his ascended powers. The transformation seemed easier than it had before. He wondered if it was his saiyan blood making him stronger with every battle and near death recovery he suffered and recovered from. He rushed towards Cell with his fist clenched! Cell dodged the attack and jumped into the sky. Trunks flared his aura and followed. He connected the android with a mighty left hook! He rushed after him again, his right fist ready. Cell jumped to the side. Trunks turned instantly "Masenko!" The yellow blast engulfed Cell, blowing away the right side of his abdomen and arm! Trunks instantly followed up, determined not to let Cell regenerate! He kicked Cell across the chest and smacked him towards the ground! Trunks extended his arms and raised them above his head "Finish Buster!" Trunks sent the blast down towards Cell. The smoke cleared revealing Cell. He had lost his legs as well. Trunks flew towards him but got deflected by the androids barrier! Cell regenerated before dropping the barrier "Very good Trunks. Very aggressive!" Cell increased his energy even more and punched Trunks in the chest before the saiyan could even react! He fell to his knees as Cell stood large above him. Cell kicked him into the air. He appeared above him and elbowed him in the back! Trunks buckled under the attack and fell back towards the ground! Cell continued his assault by planting his knee firmly in Trunks stomach! He caught the saiyans head and began punching him continually!
Cell propelled him into the air before smacking him into the earth again! Dende gasped as Trunks' energy began to fall! He increased his speed.
Cell laughed evilly as he continued to punish the young saiyan. Cell threw him into a wall and walked calmly towards him "What happened to all that strength? Don't tell me your body gave out again? How pathetic! You really are nothing without Gohan to hold your hand!" Cell cocked his arm back and brought it towards Trunks' face! Trunks raised his hand and caught Cell's fist "I've had enough!" Trunks' energy soared as the stone behind him was reduced to dust! He crushed Cell's hand effortlessly! Cell fell back clutching his hand, Trunks' aura still surrounding it! Trunks burst from the stone and connected Cell with a mighty punch! He followed by catching Cell and throwing him through a wall! He soared into the sky and rained ki blasts upon the android! Cell looked up in disbelief "What got into him? He's completely mad!" Trunks appeared before Cell and the android looked into his eyes. Trunks had no irises and his aura was no longer yellow but red, resembling Goku's Kaio-Ken attack. His aura took a fierce-flame like appearance! He broke Cell's arm with one kick. The mighty android fell to his knees screaming in pain! Trunks charged forward and connected the mighty Cell in the chest with a kick! Cell fell to the ground, coughing blood. He hadn't had a chance to regenerate. Trunks kicked him through some debris and rushed toward him again! Cell couldn't understand what happened. He had never saw this ability before and it struck fear into the android.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gohan awoke feeling refreshed. Dende stood before him. He looked at the centre of the city "Is that Trunks?" Dende nodded "Yes, but what happened to him? He's gone completely berserk! Cell hasn't touched him since he entered that state!" Gohan cast a worried expression to Dende "When we were training Trunks was surrounded by a lightning aura. It happened again during our battle with Cell. I think he may have found another level beyond the super saiyan!" Gohan smiled as he heard his fathers voice "Gohan that isn't the next level! I took a similar form when I fought Slug! It only possesses the power from the next level but the you don't retain your rationality!" Gohan nodded "How do I help him?" Goku replied with obvious unease in his voice "You can't. I came out of it when Slug regenerated, so I don't know". Gohan looked on as Trunks continued to dominate the android…
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cell was fleeing in fear of his life! Trunks' sudden increase in strength had taken the android by complete surprise! Cell's calm personality was replaced with a desperate, dirty fighting one. Cell knew he was in trouble. He had sensed Gohan's recovery and he knew he wouldn't be able to defeat a fully recovered Gohan and a berserk Trunks! Trunks burst through the wall and smacked Cell through six buildings! Cell repaired any damage he took and readied himself. Trunks appeared above him, hands joined! Cell rolled to the side and Trunks split the earth with the mighty blow. Trunks growled and created a huge ball of energy in his right hand! He rushed towards Cell and shot the ball towards him! Cell raised his barrier in an attempt to negate the attack, however it didn't work. The blast was strong enough to break Cell's barrier and blow off the left side of his body!
Trunks walked towards Cell, grinning evilly. He moved his hand quickly, sending the damaged Cell flying through more buildings. Cell got to his feet and regenerated! Trunks walked towards the buildings. Cell knew all his abilities had grown. Reluctantly Cell released his full power, reducing the building debris around him to dust! He rushed towards the berserk Trunks and kicked him across the face. Trunks simply smiled and caught Cell's ankle! Trunks raised him into the air and mercilessly pounded him! He started with the body then moved to the face, hitting the android very quickly. Cell continually coughed blood with every punch. He couldn't escape and he couldn't run!
Trunks caught Cell by the head and smiled before licking his top lip. He cocked his right arm back and connected Cell in the stomach! Cell actually vomited from the attack. Trunks laughed as he released the android by throwing him into the crater Cell had created at the start of the fight.
Trunks flew high into the sky and readied a massive energy blast! Gohan and Dende looked at each other. Dende looked at Trunks "Gohan if that attack hits!" Gohan transformed into his super saiyan form and rushed towards Trunks. Trunks laughed hysterically as he pumped more and more power into the attack…

Chapter 12 will be posted soon. If your wondering what form Trunks took it's one I created. I figured that if there's a false super saiyan form between base and super saiyan why not make one between super saiyan 1 and 2. I modelled this 'form' after the ascended super saiyan 3rd grades power but all the super saiyans speed with the Kaio-Ken aura. Just like false super saiyan the user goes wild. If you like this chapter then please review. Thanks for reading.
