A Saiyan's Heart, The True Enemy
Yokai Academy (8:50 AM)
It was the next day, early in the morning. The scholars all took their time before class started at 9:00 AM. Some were on the schoolyard enjoying the morning, others were still preparing themselves in their dorm.
In the boys' dorm, Gohan just woke up. The sun shines through his window and he opened his eyes. He yawned while tiredly stretching himself out.
"Aw no, I'm late for class," Gohan sounded tired as he got out of bed and took a shower.
Meanwhile, on the schoolyard, Moka, together with Tsukune, Kurumu, Yukari, and Mizore sat around the table. Tsukune finally finished explaining what has happened these last few weeks when Moka was gone. Moka herself couldn't believe what they told her, she held her hands in her mouth from the huge shock.
"Oh no! I can't believe that so many things happened while I was gone!" Moka said as she then leaned on her right hand and looked at the table. "I feel so bad for Gohan, poor guy," Moka said worriedly.
"Yes, that is pretty much everything, until your inner self explained her motives, I started to understand what was really going on between the two," Kurumu said depressed.
Moka then looked at Tsukune, who still didn't feel right. "Tsukune, I understand that you missed me, I really appreciate it, but how can you treat Gohan like that of all people?" Moka asked him.
"I know Moka, I realized my mistakes. I feel terrible for what I did. I should have trusted him, instead, I only made everything worse," Tsukune said out of guilt.
"Gohan is one of the nicest people we know, he's been our best friend ever since we came to this school and he has always helped us no matter what. How can you even get the idea that he tried to steal me away from you? That does not sound like him at all!" Moka asked worriedly.
Tsukune didn't answer and kept looking down on the table. Moka then looked at Kurumu and Yukari.
"Is there a way for me to talk to him? Maybe he does not want to talk to my inner self, but surely he would listen to me, right?" Moka asked.
"I don't think it is a good idea to try and talk to him Moka, Gohan really wasn't in the mood to talk to any of us," Yukari told her troubled.
"Listen you guys," Mizore said as she spoke with her arms crossed and looked at the others around her. "I think you should all just leave him alone for now until he is ready to talk. Gohan was really hurt last night and if any of you go talk to him, you might make it worse," Mizore said as she then specifically focused her sight on Moka. "Especially you Moka, don't take this the wrong way, but your true self probably did the worst thing to him than Tsukune, Kurumu, and Mizore did themselves. You are the last person he wants to see, no matter if it's your inner self or you," Mizore explained.
Moka looked the other way while Kurumu, Tsukune, and Yukari looked at each other. Moka was especially troubled about the whole situation, thinking what she should do. Suddenly, the school bell rang, the group stood up from their seats.
"Class is starting, we should go," Kurumu said.
The group started to walk towards the entrance of the school. However, while Mizore was walking, Moka held her shoulder as the two stopped.
"Mizore, I want to ask you something," Moka asked her.
"What is it?" Mizore asked when she turned around.
"How bad is it what my inner self did to Gohan that makes him not even want to talk to me?" Moka asked worriedly.
"Hmm..." Mizore said as she thought for a moment. "How bad? Let's just say that I have never seen Gohan so furious and depressed at the same time before. Usually, the nicest people are the ones you never want to see mad. I get what they mean by that when I saw that look in Gohan's face," Mizore said as she then turned around and walked towards the entrance again.
Moka looked down on the ground from sadness, knowing what she all had to hear from her friends. "I just have to find a way to talk to him, I'll see him in class today, then I'll take my chance," Moka said as she followed Mizore to class.
Ms. Nekonome's Classroom (9:00 AM)
The student all gathered in the classroom. Ms. Nekonome walked in front of the students while holding her books in her hands.
"Alright everyone, settle down! Class is starting," Ms. Nekonome said as all the students went to their chair.
Moka looked around in the room, but she didn't see Gohan anywhere. "He's not here?" Moka asked.
Tsukune, Kurumu, and Mizore sat down. Moka was the only one still standing. Ms. Nekonome spoke up to Moka who stood next to her seat.
"Moka, is there something wrong?" Ms. Nekonome asked.
Moka looked around and slowly sat down in her chair. "No, Ms. Nekonome," Moka said as she sat down in her chair.
"Okay, well I am glad to see you back in this form, are you feeling well enough?" Ms. Nekonome asked curiously.
"Yes Ms. Nekonome, I am just fine," Moka told the teacher.
"If there is anything I can help you with, just let me know," Ms. Nekonome said as she continued her class. "Welcome everyone, let's start the day with a couple assignments and..." Ms. Nekonome said as she looked around and saw that someone was missing in her class.
"Hmmm... That's weird, he's never late to class," Ms. Nekonome said. "Mr. Aono, where is Gohan? Did he overslept?" Ms. Nekonome asked.
"Well uuhhmm, I don't know what happened to him," Tsukune said.
Then the door of the classroom opened up, Gohan looked around and walked in class.
"Ah, Gohan, you are here!" Ms. Nekonome said.
The whole class looked at Gohan who had a somewhat neutral expression. He didn't look happy, but not exactly mad either. "Sorry, I overslept," Gohan said.
"It's no problem, you are usually always on time, didn't you have a good night sleep?" Ms. Nekonome asked the half-breed.
"No, I have been up all night, it won't happen again, I promise," Gohan apologized for his tardiness.
"It's okay, go ahead and take a seat with the rest of your classmates," Ms. Nekonome said as she pointed at Gohan's desk.
Gohan nods his head and passed his classmates, not looking at anybody, only at his desk. He then went to his seat and grabbed his books. Moka and Kurumu only focused their sight on Gohan, but they tried not to get his attention. Ms. Nekonome continued her class.
"Class, first, I would like to know if you all read the history assignment," Ms. Nekonome said.
All of the students nod at the teacher as she then went on to her question.
"Then, can someone tell me when the Monster Revolution took place?" Ms. Nekonome asked around.
No one puts their hands up as she kept looking for someone to pick. "No one? I thought you all read the assignment?" Ms. Nekonome asked.
The teacher sighs. "Okay, Gohan, tell the class when the Monster Revolution took place, please?" Ms. Nekonome asked him.
However, Gohan answered something they never thought they would. "I don't know the answer ma'am," Gohan answered coldly.
"What!" Ms. Nekonome shouted out of disbelieving.
"Whhhaaaaaa...!" the whole class gasped as all of the remaining students stood up from their seat.
Kurumu, Moka, Tsukune, and Mizore only looked at each other and started to get even more worried.
"Gohan does not know the answer!" Hanate Sakai said.
"Is he sick?!" Tamaki Seiyo sounded shocked.
"Impure! He's impure I tell you!" Kazuki Yamamoto shouted with crossed fingers.
"Gohan is late, he didn't do his homework and does not know the answer?! Saizou check his temperature!" Ms. Nekonome shouted at the boy.
Saizou quickly jumped out of his seat and puts his palm on Gohan's forehead. "He does not feel that warm, but he has to be, there is no other way!" Saizou said.
Gohan grabbed Saizou's hand and pulled it off of him. "I am fine, really, I just didn't get the time to read the assignment," Gohan answered.
Ms. Nekonome approached Gohainat his seat as she kept looking at him for a moment, Gohan puts his head up and looked back at the teacher.
"I can see that there is something seriously wrong with you. You need to see the nurse just in case?" Ms. Nekonome asked.
"I am fine, I just... I'll do better and read the assignment next time, I'm sorry," Gohan apologized to the teacher.
"Hmmm... I don't know about this, you really sure?" Ms. Nekonome asked.
"Yes, I am sure, ma'am," Gohan said as he then grabbed his book and opened it up, reading it.
The teacher then walked back to her desk. Gohan kept reading, while Moka, Kurumu, and Tsukune kept looking at him. Gohan knew that they were looking but still didn't bother.
One and a half hour later, Ms. Nekonome decided to end her class. The students grabbed their bags and stood up from their seats.
"You can go and take a break now, don't be late for your next class everyone!" Ms. Nekonome said as she dismissed the students.
Moka kept looking down at the table. "This is my chance," Moka said as she then quickly looked at Gohan's seat. "Gohan! I would..." Moka said as she looked at an empty seat. "Hey, where did he go?" Moka asked.
Saizou sat back in his chair, leaning. "He left the second Ms. Nekonome dismissed us like he materialized away, he was that fast. What's with him Moka? The day Gohan got something wrong and does not do his homework is the same day the Monster World is ending," Saizou asked her.
"It's something I have to fix on my own," Moka said as she then prepared herself and looked at the others. "I'll go look for Gohan, he must be close," Moka said.
"Moka, didn't I tell you not to approach him?" Mizore told her.
"Mizore, I don't care what you said, I want to make everything right, that means crossing these boundaries," Moka said as she angrily ran out of class.
Tsukune and Kurumu looked at Mizore who shook her head. Meanwhile, in the hallways, Gohan was walking while holding his backpack with her right hand.
"What am I supposed to do, at the same time... I..." Gohan said depressed.
While Gohan was walking, Moka looked around the hallways to spot Gohan. She passed the people walking around, on the way asking if they have seen him anywhere. After a couple of minutes of searching, Moka saw Gohan in the distance in front of her in the tough crowd.
"Gohan!" Moka shouted as she tried to get through the crowd to get to him.
Gohan didn't hear her calling out as he only kept walking by. Finally, she managed to squeeze herself out of the crowd of students, Moka stood face to face with Gohan, who stood still and saw the pink-haired vampire standing right in front of her.
"Gohan, there you are, I have been looking all over for you," Moka said with a genuine smile.
"Moka..." Gohan only spoke.
"Gohan, listen, about what happened last night, I just wanted to say that..." Moka spoke but then suddenly Gohan raised his hand straightforward, making the vampire stop talking.
"Moka, look over there," Gohan said as he pointed to the right side of the hall.
Moka looked to the right side but only saw several students talking to each other. "Gohan, there is nothing there. Look, what I wanted to say was..." Moka said as she then looked straight at him.
However, when she looked, she saw that Gohan had disappeared. Moka only turned her head for a split second, and already was nowhere to be found.
"W-W-what? Hey, where did you go? I just wanted to talk to you!" Moka said as she kept looking at her surroundings.
Moka stopped her search and took a deep sigh. "I will find him, I will make everything right!" Moka told herself out of confidence.
"Don't try it," a voice spoke to Moka.
"W-who's there?" Moka asked when she looked around, looking for the one who was calling her out.
Then, Moka looked down at the ground and saw that her Rosarie was lighting up. "My Rosarie... it's her, this is my chance," Moka said as she then looked around for the bathroom.
She quickly ran to the girls' bathroom and entered. The vampire looked in the mirror at her Rosarie which was lighting up.
"I need to talk to you," Moka said to her Rosarie.
Then, the necklace started lighting up red and black even more until it fully consumed her. Moka closed her eyes and concentrated.
When she opened her eyes again, she was once again in the dark red void she was as before. She looked around and noticed that there was a small dark-red rock. On that rock was Inner Moka sitting with her right knee up and her left leg hanging on the side. She was only looking in the distance while leaning on her right knee.
"Don't try to talk to him Moka, it won't work, not even if it's you who tries to make everything better. You'll only make it worse," Inner Moka told her strictly as she kept looking in the distance.
Moka decided to approached her inner self on the rock. "Moka, how could you do something so horrible to Gohan? Manipulating him for your own desires to beat him, using his friendship! I have never seen him this depressed before! It's like he has become a whole different person," Moka asked her inner self.
"I didn't bring you here to drill the mistakes I made in my head, I'm fully aware," Inner Moka said when she downed her eyebrows.
"I want you to tell him that you are sorry so that everything can go back to normal! You owe him an apology!" Moka asked of her.
"I am a vampire, we are not the type of monsters to just apologize to anyone, no matter what I did or how I feel. We still have our pride," Inner Moka said.
"Don't you understand! This is more than just your stupid pride! If you don't do anything, we will lose him!" Moka asked of her inner self.
"I only brought you here to tell you not to try and talk to him, and let it go like the snowwoman said. It's time for you to return to reality," Inner Moka said as she raised her hand.
Suddenly, Moka got surrounded by the dark red void again. "Moka! Moka! Wait!" Moka shouted out to her inner self.
But it was already too late, Moka was back in the girls' bathroom. She looked in the mirror as her Rosarie stopped lighting up. She then quickly ran out of the bathroom and went to the one person who she thought could help her out again.
Security Committee headquarters 10:30 AM (1 hour and 30 minutes to go before the attack)
At the Security Committee Headquarters, Kuyo had already begun gathering every member that joined the Committee in the last couple of weeks by Elleck's command. In the main room, all of the members were lined up in a row of 10 members next to each other and 10 people behind them, only managing 100 monsters. Elleck entered the main room and looked around.
"Good, seems like all of the members have come, are they all ready for what they have signed up for? 100 monsters aren't that many," Elleck asked Kuyo.
"Yes, they are students who will never accept the humans. You think we get outnumbered in the process... Elleck?" Kuyo asked curiously.
"Hmm... No, it's okay. With me in the lead, you don't need that many monsters. Besides, once this is over, more will join my side," Elleck told him sinisterly.
"Alright, we got 1 hour and 30 minutes left until the attack on Yokai Academy, are you also ready to go?" Kuyo asked.
"Almost, I will be here when the time is right, I need some time for myself to meditate. Anyways, proceed with the gathering," Elleck said as he walked out of the room with a menacing grin.
Kuyo saw Elleck walk out and then looked back at the members of the Security Committee. He gained everyone's attention.
"Listen to me comrads, you have all joined the Security Committee because you all believe that monsters and humans will never live together. However!" Kuyo shouted at them as he turned his back on them. "You have also joined to serve Master Elleck Rinjou's every command! He is the brains behind all of this!" Kuyo said.
The remaining members of the Committee kept looking at Kuyo who started to intimidate them. "Elleck truly believes that you all follow his dream, to merge the human world and the monster world together, and rule with an iron fist! Anyone who dares to stop him from achieving his goal will be marked for death," Kuyo told them.
The members got extremely nervous as he suddenly raised his energy level. "My energy is higher than any of yours, so then, I want you to realize something crucial..." Kuyo said as she then turned back to the followers with a serious expression on his face. "Master Elleck is a hundred times more powerful than I am, so only imagine what he will do to you if you even think of doing him wrong," Kuyo explained as he finished his speech. "Serve Elleck Rinjou, and your service will be appreciated and even rewarded heavily. But refuse or betray us, and you will be dealt with in an instance, never forget that!" Kuyo told them.
The followers all started to cheer and pledged their allegiance for Elleck Rinjou. Elleck himself was outside of the room, leaning on the wall with his arms crossed, his head down and eyes closed. Then, suddenly Elleck opened his eyes, and his eyes gained red within the middle his black pupil.
"The time is almost right, prepare yourself Yokai Academy," Elleck said menacingly while sitting with his legs crossed and his hands folded.
Yokai Schoolyard 10:30 AM
Moka exited the school and was on the Yokai Schoolyard. She looked around to find the one person who might help her out with her problems, Mizore Shirayuki.
"She must be here somewhere," Moka said as she walked around, trying to spot her.
Eventually, Moka spotted Mizore as she was stalking on the boys who were playing sports. Moka decided to approach her.
"Mizore?" Moka asked when she approached her friend.
Mizore kept looking at the boys playing football. Moka touched her shoulder.
"Mizore, I need to talk to you," Moka called her out.
Mizore turned around and saw Moka standing. "Oh, it's you Moka, why are you here?" Mizore asked.
"Look, you told me that you were the only one not who did not do anything to hurt Gohan. So that means that he will listen to you. I beg of you, for the sake of our friendship, try and reason with him," Moka asked of her.
Mizore took a deep sigh and closed her eyes. "Are you still going on about this? You just won't let go. Forget it, I actually knew this would happen, you can't help but try and make things better..." Mizore said as she then opened her eyes and looked the other way. "I will try and talk to him to see if I can do something about it," Mizore said.
Moka cheered from joy as she greatly embraced the snowgirl. "Thank you Mizore! Thank you so much!" Moka shouted happily.
"No problem, I do need some help with this, seeing Gohan's situation, I need an understanding friend and a tough but caring friend. None of you can help me with that, but others can, and I think I know just the two people who can help me," Mizore said.
"Wait, you know more people who can help us out?" Moka asked curiously.
"Of course, we both know the two people who can help, they have a special relationship with Gohan. I am going to look for them," Mizore said as she then walked away from Moka.
Moka had a slight smile on her face and folded her hands together.
Yokai Academy
Inside Yokai Academy, Mizore walked through the hallways, trying to find someone who could help her out. She looked around with slightly narrowed eyelids.
"She must be here somewhere," Mizore said while looking around.
After looking for a couple minutes, she finally spotted her cleaning the windows.
"Ruby!" Mizore called her out.
Ruby was still cleaning the windows as she heard someone calling her name. "Hmph?" Ruby mumbled as she saw Mizore walking her way. "Oh, Mizore, how is it going?" Ruby asked when she puts her supplies down.
Mizore was face to face with Ruby. "Why are you cleaning the windows?" Mizore asked.
"It's a very long story, I mean a very long story," Ruby said as she puts her hand on her cheek.
"Okay well anyways, I have to ask you something. I need help with Gohan," Mizore told her.
"Gohan? What's wrong with him?" Ruby asked worriedly.
"It's a very long story... Great, now I am saying it. Look, I can explain everything on the way okay?," Mizore said.
"Sure, I'll help however I can," Ruby said happily.
"Great," Mizore said as she walked away with Ruby walking behind her. "Now we just need one more person for this type of job, and I know the right one to ask," Mizore told her.
"Who do you have in mind?" Ruby asked.
"Well I thought this could work as you being the understanding friend and that other person being the tough but still caring person," Mizore said.
"So, which one am I?" Ruby asked.
Mizore looked at her. "Do I even have to say it?" Mizore asked.
"I think I can take a hint," Ruby said as she then looked straightforward.
"Good, now the next person is in the Cafeteria, she must be hanging out with her friends," Mizore said.
"Who did you have in mind?" Ruby asked as Mizore then looked at Ruby while they kept walking.
School Cafeteria
Ruby and Mizore arrived in the cafeteria and looked around to try and spot her. Finally, Ruby saw her at the far right side of the cafeteria next to the window. Keito was standing at the table with her friends who were sitting while she stood next to the window with her arms crossed.
"There she is, come on," Mizore said as Ruby followed.
Meanwhile, back at the table, Keito was in a serious discussion with her friends.
"Trust me, after everything I have gathered for the test, you will beg for my notes," Keito said confidently.
"Keito, why won't you just sell your notes if you are going to be so difficult about it?" Komatsu Hanate said.
"Because I just like to tease you all to beg at my feet, but, you guys are lucky that I am more reasonable than before..." Keito spoke when Mizore and Ruby approached her.
Keito saw them standing and kept a neutral expression. "Hmph?" Keito mumbled at them
"Keito..." Mizore spoke.
"It's you two, Ruby, and Mizore, the stalker," Keito told them both.
Mizore had a normal look on her face. Ruby found it weird that Mizore just took Keito's words like it was nothing.
"Mizore, you are just going to let her call you a stalker?" Ruby asked.
"Can't argue with what I am, can I?" Mizore said as she then stood face to face with Keito. "Keito, I need your help with something, you mind?" Mizore asked.
"You need my help? This should be good, what is it about?" Keito asked with an arrogant smile on her face.
"It's about Gohan," Mizore told her.
Quickly, Keito uncrossed her arms. "Hold on a sec, Gohan? What exactly do you mean?" Keito asked curiously.
"He needs your help. He is not himself and we fear the worst will happen if we won't talk to him. Since you have had your history with him, you are one of the best people who can reach him together with Ruby and me," Mizore explained.
"Hmmm, how bad is the damage?" Keito asked as she thoughtfully puts her hand on her chin.
"In class, Gohan didn't do his homework, nor did he know the answer," Mizore replied.
Keito got shocked as she widens her eyes.
"Are you real? That is very bad indeed, he's like the ultimate geek..." Keito said as she thought for a moment. "I'll see what I can do," Keito said.
"Great, follow me, we will try and reach him," Mizore said as she and Ruby walked away.
Keito looked the other way, but then followed Mizore out of the cafeteria to see how they could help Gohan out,
In the hallways, Mizore together with Ruby on her left side and Keito on her right side, went on to look for Gohan. Meanwhile, Gohan himself was sitting on the stairs of the hallways, drinking a soda as he kept looking down on the ground as he took another sip of his drink.
"Hmm, should I just... maybe..." Gohan said to himself when he suddenly saw three shadows standing in front of him.
He looked up and saw Mizore standing.
"Mizore..." Gohan said as he then saw Ruby and Keito standing. "Ruby, Keito? What are you doing here?" he asked.
"It's time to do something about all of this," Mizore said as she narrowed her eyes.
Gohan scratches his head as he didn't know what was going to happen next.
Ms. Nekonome's classroom during Recess 10:35 AM
In Ms. Nekonome's homeroom, Gohan sat in the seat in the middle of the class. Mizore leaned on the teacher's desk while Ruby and Keito leaned on the sides. Mizore had her arms crossed while Gohan kept looking at the three of them.
"Guys, what is all of this?" Gohan asked.
"Gohan, I actually wanted to let you have some time for yourself, however, seeing you this upset, I just had to do something about it," Mizore said as she then walked forward to the boy. "I asked Ruby and Keito for support since they are representing a certain part of you. Ruby has known your family for years and she is one of the closest people to you who truly understand you. Keito is here to be the tough but caring person. You and Keito used to be rivals and been through a whole lot. Only she can be the tough one that needs to knock some sense into you. No offense," Mizore said.
"Oh..." Gohan said clueless.
"So I am the understanding one! I knew it!" Ruby said happily.
"Ruby..." Mizore sighs and the puts her palm on her forehead. "Now, Gohan, I already told Ruby and Keito what happened yesterday, anyway for you to talk about it?" Mizore asked.
"Uuhhmmm I don't know what to say?" Gohan asked unknowing of what he needed to do.
Ruby then walked up to Gohan and stood next to him. "Gohan, how do you feel about all of this? I mean, you have been together with Moka for a long time. What about Tsukune, Kurumu, and Yukari? Do you understand the things they did to- and for you?" Ruby asked.
"Moka was mostly still angry at how our fight went. I kind of deserve it for treating her like she is weak, but I have my reasons on why I couldn't fight her the way I truly fight," Gohan explained as he then looked at Ruby. "In Tsukune's case, I understand that he missed the Other Moka, but I was only trying to keep us all together. I wanted to show all of you that Moka's true self is actually a very nice but misunderstood person. I guess Tsukune saw it as something different I tried to do. Even yesterday, he didn't trust me anymore. Kurumu and Yukari tried to get rid of Moka because they thought that I didn't want to spend any time on them at all," Gohan explained properly.
Keito then approached Gohan at his desk. "So you perfectly know what those four did to you? Then how do you think can they repay you? Obviously, they feel bad for doing this. If they don't, then I am even more of a friend than they are," Keito asked.
Gohan looked at his desk and puts his eyebrows down. "All I want from them is to get along with each other. I am not someone that desires that much from other people," Gohan told them.
Keito then slammed the table as Gohan shockingly looked up. "Nonsense! Moka tricked you for weeks, Tsukune resented you for no reason and even tried to hurt you, and Kurumu and Yukari tried to make sure you didn't have any friends at all so that they could put the moves on you! Now you only say you want everyone to get along without even mentioning the three-way betrayal? What is wrong with you?!" Keito shouted at him.
Gohan had no words, but Ruby held Keito's shoulder, trying to calm the purple haired girl down. "Keito, calm down," Ruby told her.
But Mizore nodded at Ruby who looked at the snow woman and shook her head. "Don't Ruby, that is why Keito is here for, to be the one who is hard on him. To understand why she is doing this, she still cares for him," Mizore told her.
Ruby then stepped back and puts her hand on her chin, thinking about what she could do. Meanwhile, Keito decided to grab Gohan's shirt and pulled him towards her.
"Certainly, you want an apology? Anything more than just 'getting along', something for them to redeem themselves?!" Keito asked harshly.
"Of course I want an apology, I am just not someone that desires that much!" Gohan said.
"Gohan, you can't simply demand nothing but an apology? After everything they did, I mean, the way you were acting today didn't look like you just want an apology," Mizore said.
"Gohan only wants an apology, which means that something else is bothering him... that must be it!" Ruby thought as she then shockingly got something she wanted to say. "That's it!" Ruby shouted as she pushed Keito on the side.
"Hey!" Keito shouted.
"Sorry, but I now know why I am the understanding one," Ruby said as she then looked at Gohan. "Gohan, I want to ask you something! Today, Mizore told me that you weren't really yourself lately," Ruby asked.
"Well, I feel really different from yesterday, I have been thinking most of the time and at the same time, I am getting really distracted," Gohan explained.
Ruby then stood straight. "Now I see it, Gohan, of course, you found it horrible what the others did to you, no doubt about it. But what they did is not the reason you are so down today!" Ruby said.
"He isn't?" Mizore and Keito asked at the same time.
Ruby then continued. "Gohan, you can trust all of us. What is the reason that got you all worked up and distracted? Is it something bad? Or maybe something good? Tell us," Ruby asked.
Gohan looked around the room and got a bit nervous. "I don't... I don't think I'm ready," Gohan hesitated nervously.
"Come on, just tell us already," Mizore said as she leaned on the desk
"Yeah, we are trying to fix your problems, the least you could do is work along," Keito said as she once again leaned on the left side of the desk while crossing her arms.
Mizore, Ruby, and Keito closely watched Gohan who looked at all of them and puts his hands on his head. "You guys, promise me that you will not tell anyone, please," Gohan asked of them.
"No problem, you can trust all of us, tell us," Mizore said.
Gohan then stood up from his chair, which made the girls very listen very intensively to what he had to say. "Mizore, do you remember what Moka said yesterday?" Gohan asked her.
Mizore thought for a moment. "Hmmm, what are you getting at Gohan?" Mizore asked.
"I have been thinking about what she said before I left, that if we had more time together, we could have become more than friends," Gohan explained as he then looked at them. "I said that saying that, Moka only made the situation worse because I agree with her," Gohan told them shyly.
Mizore widens her eyes, Ruby and Keito started listening closely to what he was trying to say. "Hold on, I do remember Moka saying that, you agree with her? Then, what does this truly mean?!" Mizore asked.
"I really liked the time Moka and I spend together, it was like she was my best friend after the tough time we had together. She always seemed like the person who would scare you, but I really started to like her. Like, a couple days ago when she helped me play Football, and when we talked about ourselves in the grass field. When we trained, I saw how much we appreciated each other. When we watched those movies together, we really connected because we were interested in the same thing. I really cared about her. But then..." Gohan explained.
"Then what?" Ruby asked.
"This is getting interesting," Keito said with her arms crossed and eyes closed.
"Last night, when she told me that most of the things we did together were just lies for her own personal gain, I started to think by myself if everything I felt was just a big lie, an illusion. What if I was too naive to think Moka would actually care and I was just being an idiot? I just couldn't stop thinking about it, that the stuff we did wasn't real," Gohan exclaimed shyly.
Ruby then approached Gohan and stood in front of her. "I see, the time you and Moka spend together made you care for her a whole lot than just a friend, but when she explained her true motives, you started to think if what you felt for her was real or not. Gohan..." Ruby said as she then puts both her hand on his shoulder, holding him tight. "You really like Moka, do you?" Ruby asked.
Gohan only puts his head down and slightly blushed, Ruby saw him and let him go. Seeing him like that made it perfectly clear for her.
"Stay low, for now, think about other stuff and take some time for yourself, okay? Go on," Ruby said.
Gohan nods his head and walked out of Ms. Nekonome's classroom. Ruby then walked towards Mizore and Keito.
"What a turn of events, he eventually started to love the silver-haired vampire, who knew?" Keito said.
"You guys, we are done, we have to give Gohan some time for himself to search his feeling. I have seen it in his eyes, he really does love her," Ruby told them.
"I had my suspicions about that. Even after what Moka said, I thought she only said that to make Gohan feel bad, what if Moka feels the same way as Gohan does?" Mizore asked.
"If Moka said that she wanted to become more than friends with Gohan, obviously, she has feelings for him too," Keito told them.
"I don't know if you have noticed Keito, but Moka has been caught lying before. It was a bit too difficult to believe what she was telling Gohan yesterday," Mizore told her.
"Look, you guys, we cannot talk about this with anyone. Gohan will be ashamed if other people know about it," Ruby told them.
"I won't tell, it does not sound like the best time anyways," Mizore said.
"So, our job is done?" Keito asked curiously.
"I guess so," Mizore said.
"Good, now if you excuse me, I'll go back to what I was doing. If Gohan needs me, he knows where to find me," Keito said as she walked towards the door and exited the classroom.
Ruby and Mizore were left as they looked at each other. "We should definitely keep this a secret from the others. Tension is always high with this subject," Ruby told her.
"Deal, Moka told me to help him out, but I never expected Gohan to... well... you know," Mizore hesitated a bit.
"Let's just hope Gohan feels better when time goes by," Ruby said as she then went to the door. "We got 10 minutes of recess left," he told the snowwoman.
"You are right," Mizore said as she approached Ruby and they both left the classroom.
Outside on the schoolyard (10:50 AM)
Moka was sitting around the table with Tsukune, Kurumu, and Yukari. However, the three weren't talking to each other. The tension between the four was still uncomfortable. They kept enjoying their food.
Mizore exited the school and looked for the group. She saw them sitting at the table and only puts her hand on her chin while she walked over to the table. The snowgirl stood by the table as the group saw her standing.
"Mizore?!" Moka shouted as she quickly stood up. "Did you manage to do something about it?" Moka asked.
Mizore suddenly gained a serious expression. "Moka, I have done everything I could, so listen carefully what I am about to say," Mizore said as Moka listened to what she had to say. "Gohan is in a serious dilemma, all four of you, leave him alone. Don't talk to him, don't approach him, don't do anything to him until he himself is ready to talk. I have said it before and I said it again, but especially you Moka, don't do anything and let it go. I did the best I could," Mizore explained.
"What! Didn't you talk to him?" Moka asked.
"Trust me, I have had a long talk with him. Moka, please, just let it rest, when he feels right, he will talk," Mizore said as she then walked away from the group.
Moka looked down at the ground, then at the group who looked worried about the whole situation. The other stood up from their seats and approached Moka.
"Moka, Mizore is right, maybe we should just give Gohan some time, then he might want to talk," Tsukune told her.
"I agree, everything will get better if he gets the chance to be alone if he desires," Kurumu said.
"You guys, we have to go back, class is starting in 2 minutes," Yukari said.
"We know Yukari, we are coming," Kurumu said as she walked with Kurumu towards the entrance of Yokai Academy.
Tsukune and Moka stayed behind as Moka was still keeping her head down, Tsukune kept looking at Moka as he slowly tried to reach her, but Moka suddenly moved and walked towards the entrance as well. Tsukune took a deep sigh and followed her inside.
Security Committee Headquarters (11:45 AM)
Back in the Security Committee hideout, all of the members stood in a row of 10 in front of the building. Elleck and Kuyo stood in front of the followers with her hands behind their back.
"I have made sure that they either follow you and the Security Committee Master Elleck, or they will they perish. And if they betray you... well..." Kuyo said menacingly as he then turned towards Elleck. "They are... aware of the incredible power you wield," Kuyo told him.
"Excellent work Kuyo, now this also means that it is time to show our true intentions. Are you aware of the fact that you might face the silver-haired vampire again?" Elleck asked.
"I am well prepared to face her, she won't beat me now that I have increased my power and abilities," Kuyo said confidently and he opened his hand. "Once I get her in my sight of combat, she will burn to death, hehehehehe..." Kuyo laughed sinisterly.
Elleck pushed Kuyo as he fell back a couple steps. "Focus Kuyo, save that for when we are actually at Yokai Academy," Elleck told him.
"Apologies, have you finished your meditation?" Kuyo bowed to Elleck.
"Yes, my mind and body is clean, all that is left is my prey," Elleck said
Elleck then turned his back on the rest of the army of followers from the Security Committee. "It is time to take this world for me! Follow me!" Elleck shouted.
The followers cheered and walked behind Elleck who was with his army on his way to Yokai Academy to finally start his plan. Elleck had a very intimidating grin on his face while his eyes changed to red around his black pupils.
Ms. Nekonome's Classroom. (11:55 AM)
Ms. Nekonome was teaching her class history. The students either made notes, read their textbooks or listened to what the teacher had to say.
"Now I want you all to turn to page 394 of your textbook so that we can discuss this chapter with each other," Ms. Nekonome said as he opened her own book as well.
The students opened their textbooks and read together with the teacher. Even though Gohan was ready with the teacher, his mind seemed off.
Meanwhile, in the Schoolyard, some of the students were still taking their own time when suddenly Elleck came walking from the Yokai Forest. The students all looked and saw walking behind Elleck the huge group of Security Committee followers he brought with him. They were pretty surprised to see Elleck with the huge group.
"Is that Elleck? What is he doing with the Security Committee behind him?" a student asked.
"Beats me," the other student said.
Elleck looked around the huge schoolyard and the students it still contained. So he decided that he wanted to greet the school in a proper way.
"I admit, it's a wonderful school. Kuyo, make sure my followers are protecting themselves, will you? I want to give Yokai Academy a nice welcome," Elleck asked when he only raised his right hand.
Kuyo made the followers of the Security Committee step back a while Elleck prepared himself. In his index finger, Elleck focused his energy into a giant black and red ball which slowly increased in size and radiating with red lightning.
"Hehehehe..." Elleck laughed as the ball was getting bigger and bigger. "Yokai Academy! Allow me to introduce myself!" Elleck shouted as he shot the black/red ball towards the whole school.
The students on the schoolyard saw Elleck's attack and quickly ran away from the school to avoid the ball. The sphere was racing towards the school as the students took cover. Meanwhile, in Ms. Nekonome's class, the scholars were all in their reading assignment. Gohan looked at his book and then puts it down again. Ms. Nekonome spoke up.
"Class, can anyone summarize what we just..." Ms. Nekonome said when suddenly the atmosphere of the room changed to black and red.
All of the students looked around on why suddenly the color of the room changed. Gohan looked around as he saw a light coming from the window. "Hmph?" Gohan mumbled in the process as he looked at the window.
Moka, Mizore, Kurumu, and Tsukune stood up from their seats.
"What's going on?!" Tsukune asked worriedly.
"I don't know, something is going to happen for sure!" Mizore said uncertainly of the situation.
Gohan arrived at the window and looked outside. What he saw was the huge black and red sphere racing towards the school. He quickly changed his demeanor.
"Duuuucccckkk!" Gohan shouted.
"Gohan, what's going..." Moka asked him when Gohan quickly interrupted her.
"Moka, no time! All of you take cover underneath the table right now! Do it!" Gohan shouted with a clenched right fist.
"Come on everyone!" Saizou shouted as he, as well as the rest of the classroom quickly hid under their table.
Gohan powered up while his white aura was surrounding his behind.
"Haaahhhh!" Gohan yelled as he held his hands straight in front of his forehead and gathered his energy. "Masenko!" Gohan shouted as he shot his yellow beam out of the window, which clashed with the energy ball.
Gohan was struggling, the energy sphere was so powerful, even he had a difficult time deflecting it, or moving it. His classmates were watching him, trying to get the ball out before it managed to hit Ms. Nekonome's classroom and eventually all of Yokai Academy.
So he decided to raise his energy level as his Masenko beam increased in size.
"Come ooonnnn!" Gohan struggled in the process while shooting his beam.
At the right time, he managed to make the sphere move and made the energy ball travel away from Yokai Academy. It went sky high as the Masenko kept the energy ball up in the sky until it finally exploded. The sky turned a black and red glare for a couple seconds. Gohan narrowed his eyes from the bright light and puts his arms down, the students looked around and saw that the energy ball was gone, thus they all resurfaced from underneath their desks.
"What was that?" Ms. Nekonome asked.
"Trouble," Gohan answered quickly.
Kurumu quickly approached him. "Trouble, what do you mean trouble?" the succubus asked.
Gohan didn't answer her and jumped out of the classroom which had a huge hole left from the energy sphere. Gohan was outside and looked around. He saw Elleck, Kuyo and the Security Committee standing in a large group.
"Elleck? It's you!" Gohan sounded shocked.
The rest of the student ran outside and saw Elleck standing with one finger pointed at them. Moka, Kurumu, Mizore, and Tsukune looked around and saw Elleck standing with his army.
"What's going on? Who is that guy?!" Moka asked.
"That's right, we never told you about him. That's Elleck Rinjou. After Kuyo was beaten by Gohan, Elleck took over as the new leader of the Security Committee. I don't know what he is doing right now, but it does not look good, like some demonic force took over his mind or something," Tsukune said worriedly to the vampire.
"Elleck Rinjou?" Moka replied.
"Why did Elleck attack Yokai Academy with Kuyo and the rest of the Security Committee? Did he try to destroy the school? I thought he was a good guy?" Mizore asked.
Elleck replied to the students who were outside of the classroom. "Too bad, can't have everything, oh well, glad you could all join in on the show," Elleck said sinisterly with a grin.
"Oh, so he is evil after all? I knew it was too good to be true. Once a member of the Security Committee, you will always be evil, no matter what," Kurumu said saddened.
Gohan looked towards to the Security Committee leader while the whole school was gathering on the Yokai Schoolyard, it was the students of Yokai Academy on the side of the building and the members of the Security Committee across them in the direction of the Yokai Forest. Yukari and Ruby ran up to the group.
"You guys, what's going on?" Yukari asked.
"It has something to do with Elleck! He attacked Yokai Academy!" Kurumu shouted.
"What? Elleck? Why did he do that? I thought he was a good guy!" Ruby asked shockingly.
"We thought the same thing. We don't know why he is doing all of this!" Tsukune replied.
Gohan then turned his head to the students of Yokai Academy. "I am going to ask what's going on, none of you interfere!" Gohan shouted at the students.
"Wait, don't you need our help?" Tsukune asked.
"No, I want to know why Elleck attacked us just now," Gohan said as he then turned his head back and walked over towards the Security Committee.
Elleck saw Gohan standing in the distance. Gohan decided to speak up to the leader of the Committee.
"Elleck, what's going on? Why did you attack us? That attack was strong enough to blow Yokai Academy up 5 times over," Gohan asked.
Elleck was actually surprised to hear Gohan's words. "Elleck? Ahahaha, wow, you know, Gohan, I never thought I would actually get away with all of this, it's actually pretty remarkable, you have got to give me credit," Elleck told laughingly to Gohan.
"What do you mean? Elleck is not your real name? So, what did you do to the real Elleck Rinjou?" Gohan asked suspiciously.
Finally, all of the students were on the Yokai Schoolyard to see what was going on. Meanwhile, inside the Rosarie, Inner Moka was still sitting on her own rock, when she suddenly heard some ruckus outside.
She looked to her right side. "Hmph? What's going on?" Inner Moka said as she waved her hand once.
In front of her appeared a screen which showed the image of Yokai Academy. She saw that the students were all on one side and the members of the Security Committee on the other side.
"The Security Committee? Elleck and Gohan?" Inner Moka said as she continued. "Best if I listen in on the conversation, might be something interesting for me to know," Inner Moka said intrigued.
Inner Moka could hear and see everything that was happening outside. Back on the schoolyard, Gohan was still in a conversation with Elleck on what was really going on.
"Answer me! What did you do with the real Elleck, you imposter!" Gohan asked.
"Real Elleck? Imposter? Gohan, you are so clueless, I want to show you something else, something that will blow you away," Elleck said as he raised his hands.
In his hands, he focused his energy and shot a couple blasts in the sky. The blasts spelled Elleck Rinjou in full. Gohan looked up and saw the letters.
The students behind saw what Elleck was doing. "He spelled his name, why?" Mizore asked.
"I don't know," Tsukune said.
Meanwhile, Gohan and Elleck's conversation continued. "You spelled Elleck Rinjou?" Gohan asked.
"Of course I did, that is my real name, only differently spelled, but still... maybe this will bring back some memories," Elleck said as he closed his eyes for a moment and suddenly, his voice changed. "Have you missed me Gohan! Hahahahaaaaaa! Nenenenene Aghuaguagagu!" Elleck said in a very different and childish voice as he sticks his tongue out, mocking the boy.
Kuyo and the followers of the Security Committee all had their eyes narrowed at Elleck who was not acting like his true self.
The students were all laughing at his weird voice, even the group had a smile on their face. "That is not seriously how Elleck really sounds like, it's rather adorable," Kurumu said.
"Maybe this is a joke, I mean..." Mizore said as she then looked at Gohan who had a very different opinion about it. "Gohan? Should we be worried?" Mizore said troubled.
"That voice actually sounds really cute, maybe it really is a joke, right guys?" Moka asked innocently.
Then, Tsukune held Moka's shoulder as she then looked at her friend. Tsukune pointed with his other hand at Gohan, showing her that he was not laughing at all. "Moka, look," Tsukune said.
Moka looked at Gohan and saw that there was something off about all of this
Gohan suddenly recognized his changed voice and got a shocked expression on his face. "No, no it can't be..." Gohan thought as he suddenly spoke up. "It's not you! You are not alive after all these years! Nrrraaaaaaaaahhh!" Gohan shouted as he greatly increased his energy.
Inside the Rosarie which was glowing, Inner Moka saw Gohan's outrage and looked closer on the screen her Rosarie created for her. "What is this?" Inner Moka said while observing the event.
The wind was strongly wavering around as Elleck only narrowed his eyes and stood completely still. The Security Committee wanted to interfere with Gohan, but Kuyo held his hand, preventing them from doing anything and to let Elleck do it on his own. When the wind disappeared, so did Gohan, and the half-breed Saiyan massively punched Elleck in the stomach, kicked him in the side of the head and kneed him in the stomach.
"Daah! Ohooh!" Elleck shouted in the process.
Elleck got launched towards the side of the students of Yokai Academy. They kept their distance while Elleck was lying in front of them, they were too afraid to do anything.
"I'm confused, what exactly is going on? Is Elleck a cute but evil leader, or is Gohan going crazy!?" Kurumu asked.
"I don't know but he beat him up, so it is nothing to worry about, I think," Mizore said.
Gohan looked at the Leader of the Committee who was lying on the ground. Inner Moka was watching the whole event.
"Hmph? He sure kicked his ass, wonder how this will play out," Inner Moka said as she stood up from the rock and walked towards the screen. She crossed her arms and kept watching the event. "I know you got this," she said lastly
Back on the schoolyard, Elleck opened his eyes and slowly got up off the ground. Gohan kept looking at the leader and held his eyebrows down. Elleck stood on his legs again and casually dusts his black Security Committee attire off. He then used his normal adolescent voice again instead of his childish one
"That voice brought back some memories, right? I guess it's best to use my grown-up voice. I see that your temper is still out of control, just like in the past," Elleck said as he then turned around to the student. "All of you better prepare yourself for something amazing, you will love it, guaranteed hmhmhmh..." Elleck said with a menacing grin as he looked back at Gohan and only pointed behind him.
"Gohan, prepare yourself as well," Elleck said as he bends his knees and clenched his fists while his energy was surrounding his being. "Oh and make sure to also pay attention to the words behind you," Elleck said
The force of Elleck's energy started wavering around him while the letters were scrambling. What happened next was that Elleck's skin got ripped off and showed his limbs, first it showed his arms which were green with spots all over. Gohan saw it all happened and then looked at the words behind him.
The words were almost done scrambling. Then Elleck's legs showed green skin with black spots and yellow feet. Then his torso got ripped off and showed a green and black torso with a black spot in the middle of his chest. Lastly, Elleck personally ripped his skin off of his face, showing his face and a green helmet. That was Elleck's true nature.
Gohan saw what happened to Elleck, he has completely changed into someone else. Gohan looked at him and the words finally finished spelling Elleck's true identity.
"It's... you look just like...!" Gohan sounded shocking as he then looked at Elleck "Cell!" Gohan shouted.
The students all looked at Cell who had shown his true self. Green skin with black spots all over his body, a black spot in the middle of his chest. Black wings and his tail tucked in his back and a green helmet. He slowly puts his arms crossed and showed a menacing grin on his face. The group was watching Cell from behind.
"What did he just say who that was?" Moka asked.
"I think he said Cell or something. Isn't Cell the one he was talking about, that he fought him 6 years ago in some type of battle?" Kurumu asked.
"You guys, he just looks like a normal bug monster, we can squash him, right?! I mean, I can materialize a huge fly swatter or some bug spray," Yukari asked when she raises her magic wand.
Cell only focused his pupils behind and then fully turned around to the group. "Hm? Ah, the old 'insect' trope. Try squashing with a rolled up newspaper? Or maybe bug spray? Original, I must say hahaha," Cell said while laughing as he approached Yukari only.
Moka, Tsukune, Mizore, Kurumu, and Ruby kept standing still next to Yukari who was frightened by the biomechanical android. "I uhh..." Yukari mumbled nervously.
"Alright little witch, I'll take your bluff, you think you can squash me? Go ahead, I am all yours," Cell said as he showed his face all in front of Yukari's. "Squash me," Cell prompted her.
Yukari kept looking into Cell's eyes, and slowly, she got terrified by the creature. Moka was watching Cell intimidate Yukari up close, then looked at Gohan, who was as nervous as ever. Moka quickly approached Yukari and stood in front of her, protecting the little witch for Cell's intimidation.
"Yukari, don't do anything," Moka said as she then looked at Cell. "What do you want from us? Why did you attack us?" Moka asked.
"Why I attacked you? I guess the one you can blame attacking all of you, is him," Cell said as he pointed behind at Gohan who was watching him closely.
Inner Moka heard what was going on. "That's Cell, the one Gohan was talking about? He does not look like much of a challenge, like any other bug monster I have seen... However..." Inner Moka said as she thought for a moment. "This guy, he even got Gohan nervous, it's best not to take him as a joke," Inner Moka said while she kept observing.
Back on the Yokai Schoolyard. Cell finally turned back to Gohan and slowly walked over to him. Gohan kept watching Cell who went back to the Security Committee.
"How is it that you are alive Cell! I destroyed you 6 years ago!" Gohan shouted.
"Cell?" Cell said as he widens his eyes and stood still.
He looked in the distance and saw that the energy letters were still not completely done yet as they only spelled Cell Rinjou. "Ohhohoho, my apologies, but you have got me mistaken with someone else, I am not the Cell you remember," Cell told him properly.
"Mistaken? But, you look just like him!" Gohan questioned him.
"Yeah, that is true, but maybe it's the best way for me to show you, who exactly I am. Then it will refresh your memories," Cell said when he rushed Gohan.
Cell stood behind Gohan and punched him in the stomach, launching him sky high.
"Aaahh!" Gohan shouted in the process.
While Gohan was in the air, Cell disappeared and reappeared in front of Gohan and backhanded him in the face and fell down to the ground. Once again, Cell disappeared and was back on the ground while he pulled his right leg back.
The moment he got Gohan in sight, he kneed him firmly in the back and smashed him down to the ground where the students were watching the fight.
"Dargah!" Gohan grunts as he was laying on the ground.
Cell firmly puts his foot on Gohan's right arm and slowly pushed further and further. However, he decided that it was enough and released his foot off his arm.
"Also, that was for attack me earlier," Cell replied to the boy.
They were astounded by how Cell was easily beating Gohan up. The group didn't even know what to say, they were shaking for fear.
"Did you guys see what he did?" Kurumu sounded frightening.
"L-Like it was just childsplay!" Mizore said shockingly.
"Just, what kind of monster are we up dealing with?" Yukari said.
Tsukune couldn't say anything, he only showed a look of extreme fear for the creature. Cell then walked away and towards the letters while he held his hands up and changed his last name: Rinjou. Gohan was still laying on the ground, Kurumu, Moka, and Tsukune ran up to him and helped him off the ground.
"Gohan, are you okay?" Moka asked worriedly.
The half-breed Saiyan gasped for air and tried to stand up on his feet. Kurumu held him tightly, trying to get him to stand straight. "Come on, you have to stand up, is that guy really Cell, the one you talked about?" Kurumu asked.
Gohan finally stood on his feet and slowly breathes in and out. "No, that's not the Cell I told you guys about, that guy is someone different..." Gohan said as he turned around and looked at the group. "That guy is Cell's self-created son, Cell Junior," Gohan told them.
"Wait, Cell Junior, you say?" Tsukune asked.
Gohan then looked at Cell and saw that the letters were finally unscrambled. Cell then turned around.
"Ah, there we go, Elleck Rinjou, scramble the words around, remove the extra E and the K, then spell Cell, and the Rinjou part well, it is simply a different way to spell Junior, but I admit, Rinjou does sound stupid. I am actually surprised you never noticed it, it was pretty obvious from the start," Cell Junior explained.
Gohan then held his hand and spoke up. "You cannot be the very last Cell Junior I destroyed 6 years ago! I am certain that I took you all down! You were supposed to be blue, but you are green just like Cell used to be!" Gohan shouted.
Cell crossed his arms and nods his head. "I assume it's because of Piccolo's cells. It turns out that in just a couple years, I get the same adult size as my father. My skin color changes in the process of my growth, giving me the same color as my father's. I look just like him, don't I? You can tell that I am really Cell's reincarnation," Cell Junior asked curiously.
"How is it that you are alive! You can't be alive! That time at the Cell Games, I killed you and the other six before you could kill my friends!" Gohan explained.
Then suddenly, Cell interrupted him. "You see Gohan, my story is a very long one, so better prepare yourself, I will tell you how I managed to survive, and how I am standing here with this army of monsters in the Security Committee. But not everything will be revealed just yet," Cell Junior said as he walked towards the middle of the schoolyard.
The students of Yokai Academy decided to listen to Cell Junior's story on how he came to Yokai Academy.
"It all began six years ago, like you said, at my father's fighting tournament called: The Cell Games. Gohan, you managed to destroy all six of my brothers. I was the very last Cell Junior that you almost destroyed. I was the one that flew away from you, trying to save my own life before getting crushed by a Half-Blood Saiyan, how cowardly of me to just fly away like that. But eventually, I was caught as well and sent down through several mountains. The same attack I used on you just now. Then, you were waiting there for me to arrive, and kicked me in half, destroying my corpse into a thousand pieces, smashing my arm until nothing was left of me," Cell Junior explained.
The students were all in a huge discussion on what Junior just explained, same goes for the group. "Gohan, is that true?" Tsukune asked.
"Yes, he is right, he is the very last creation of the original Cell that I destroyed. When he attacked me, he did the exact same thing I did to him years ago, only I did it to destroy him, while he did it to prove a point. That was the moment I realized who he truly was," Gohan explained.
Junior then continued as he crossed his arms. "However Gohan, you were merciless with my brothers and left nothing but dust, but not with me. Although my body was destroyed, a cell of my brain managed to survive. While you were fighting my father, my brain slowly started to regenerate until it finally reformed my body. Somewhere in a crater, my body had finally fully restored itself. I couldn't believe it myself, it was like I died and got resurrected for a second chance. I looked around, and what I saw was my father stronger than ever, and you had just injured your arm. I decided to keep myself hidden and make sure no one spots me while I kept watching the fight. After that intense battle was over, all of the combatants of the Cell Games left the scene, while I stayed behind in the rubble. I was still too weak to fight anything, due to the all of my energy needed to restore my body. I left the place, maybe someday, I would get my revenge on the half-breed Saiyan that treated me, a perfect being, like garbage! If I would show myself in the world, I would be hunted forever by the leftover Saiyans, and I would have surely died the moment I make myself known. I couldn't even fight a human being for just a short time," Cell Junior explained.
"That explains why you are alive, Piccolo's cells allowed you to regenerate from a single cell that was left alive just like the original Cell. But it does not explain how you get here at Yokai Academy, what do you want this time?" Gohan told him.
"Wait a second, Elleck just explained..." Kurumu said when suddenly she got interrupted.
"Call me Cell, or Cell Junior, either one is fine by me," Cell Junior told the succubus while he only flicked his hand.
"Uuhmm, I remember when, Cell, explaining in our interview, that he was from North City. That he was the oldest of 7 siblings and that some type of ruthless psychopath killed all his brothers, and his father, but let you live miraculously!" Kurumu told him.
"Yeah, I remember, that story was the truth, only with a different direction than you think. I was the first one to be created by my father, making me the oldest. My father was created by Dr. Gero's computer in North City, and my family has been killed by a murderous psychopath. Gohan was the psychopath I was talking about all along," Cell Junior explained.
"That story, now it all makes sense. He explained the story of how I killed him, I should have noticed it sooner," Gohan said as he got interrupted by Cell.
"But, hold on a second, there is still something I don't get, how is it that this creature called Cell held the world hostage in his Cell Games tournament, but I don't remember anything of it?!" Tsukune asked the biomechanical android who interrupted him.
"I will get to you in a second! You are part of my story, believe it or not," Cell Junior shouted at him as the whole school got quiet.
"As I was saying after the Cell Games were over, I went into hiding to find a way to get stronger and get my revenge. But while I was in hiding, something happened on Earth. The sky turned dark, and when I looked up, I saw the magical Dragon, Shenron. I remembered that the Dragon Balls are back on Earth with a new guardian. After the Dragon was gone, I had to find a way to get those Dragon Balls and get my wishes granted. Unfortunately, I didn't have any way of locating them. So I wandered the Earth, trying to find the Dragon Balls until I stumbled upon some idiots who call themselves: the Pilaf Gang," Cell Junior explained.
"Pilaf Gang? What is he talking about?" Mizore asked.
"To be fair, I don't know either, I'm completely lost," Gohan replied.
"Does not matter who they are, all you need to know is that they are incredibly stupid, but somehow able to create a Dragon Radar. So I forced them to give me their radar so that I could find them. However, even after acquiring a Dragon radar, the Dragon Balls were still nowhere to be found. That Emperor Pilaf told me that he knows that the Dragon Balls have been used by someone else, so they are currently inactive for about a year. I had to wait a year in hiding until the Dragon Balls were active so that I could resurface the world again. After 1 year finally passed, I found a Dragon Ball, and my search began. When I gathered them all, I had exactly 3 important wishes to be granted. My first wish was to make sure my energy is completely undetectable by any life form so that no one would know I am still alive or sense me in upcoming battles. That is why you nor any of those monsters can sense me. My energy signal is invisible and undetectable," Cell explained.
"That is why Moka and I couldn't sense his energy the first time we saw him, it all makes sense now," Gohan thought.
Inner Moka was in her own deep thoughts as well. "He used those wish orbs to make sure we cannot sense him? Now I see it, rather a clever strategy to blend in," Inner Moka said.
Cell continued. "Strap up because this part is the most important thing you should know about, especially you Tsukune. My second wish was to erase the memories of Cell, Cell Juniors and the entire Cell Games from every creature on Earth," Cell explained.
"What! You erased everyone's memories of Cell and the tournament he held? So, that's why..." Gohan said as he then looked back at Tsukune. "That is the reason why you don't remember Cell, Tsukune! Cell Junior erased your memories of everything that happened!" Gohan told him.
"My memories were... erased?! Tsukune said shockingly as he touched his head. "I-I really cannot remember Cell, nothing at all! It must be true," Tsukune said troubled.
Gohan then looked at Ruby. "Ruby, you have been with my family for at least a year, and you lived in the Human World, do you remember Cell?" Gohan asked.
"No, why can't I remember Cell? I was on Earth the whole time," Ruby said.
"Probably because your power is below that of the Guardian of Earth. If your power surpasses his and the Dragon's, you will not be affected by it," Cell explained.
"That must be it, 6 years ago, my memories must have been erased as well!" Ruby said.
"But, then how is it that my mother still knows, did Piccolo remind her..." Gohan thought.
"Good, now that part has been solved, let me continue..." Cell Junior said as he thought for a moment. "Where was I... Oh, right! I decided to use my third wish to send myself away to another world. Shenron granted my wish, he told me that he'll send me to the perfect place for someone like me. Eventually, I was transported to this 'Monster World', this is the place where I stayed to train my powers so that I could get stronger to defeat Gohan when the time was right," Cell Junior explained as he then only pointed his finger up. "I stayed in the Monster World for at least 5 years and lived here ever since I made those wishes. I discovered what this world was all about, I met and fought many different creatures to make myself more powerful, but their strength was not on par with mine so it took a while longer than I anticipated. From Orcs to Kraken, to even gigantic cyclops and several other behemoths. After a couple years, I managed to perfectly control my power, but even though I did, I was not sure if Gohan hadn't become stronger as well. So I had to make a plan. While I was still discovering many places in the Monster World, I stumbled upon this school called: Yokai Academy. I saw several monsters who turned into regular humans go towards that school. Something remarkable indeed. Why would monsters turn into humans and go to school in that form? I decided to find out where some of them came from, which made me stumble upon a dark and secret tunnel. I followed the tunnel to see where it brought me, and it was something I never expected. The tunnel was a straight route to Earth itself. I couldn't believe it, there was a route to Earth this whole time, the moment I realized that the Monster World and Earth were connected with each other, I had a genius plan in mind. Are you ready to hear this?" Cell Junior asked.
The student and the group listened carefully. Cell continued his story.
"Hence, I infiltrated Yokai Academy and stole an information pamphlet from the school principal. I returned to Earth via the tunnel, and because my energy was undetectable, no one knew I still existed or even remembered me. I used my energy to find out where Gohan lived, and I saw his mother leaving the house. The moment I saw the right opportunity, I dropped the information form for Yokai Academy in front of Gohan's mother so that he could soon start a new year at Yokai Academy. My plan worked perfectly with you being here right now, away from your family and friends and alone with me," Cell Junior explained in a sinister matter.
The group got astounded by the what the android said. Gohan's attendance at Yokai Academy was all part of Cell Junior's plan.
"You tricked Gohan into coming to Yokai Academy? It was all you?" Moka shouted.
"I can't believe what I am hearing right now..." Tsukune said as he thought back to the time he first met Gohan.
"All of this... was just a plan to get me to the Monster World? It was just a big mistake for me to come here, after all, a misunderstanding," Gohan sounded disappointed as he puts his hand on his forehead.
Moka decided to stand next to him. "Gohan, you coming here is not a mistake at all, I am still grateful that we met you, or else, why might have never become best friends, think about that," Moka said, trying to comfort him.
"Moka is right, who cares if Cell planned for you to get here, so what if it is really just a big mistake, all that matters is..." Kurumu said as suddenly, Yukari dropped a golden washtub on her head.
"Kurumu you idiot, don't say it like that! It sounds totally insensitive!" Yukari shouted at her.
"Hey, who told you to butt in like that, Yukari!" Kurumu shouted back at her.
"Little witch, the blue haired one is right. Ever since the first day of school, it was all part of my plan to get Gohan here and scale how powerful you exactly were without the interference of your friends Piccolo, Vegeta, and Trunks. I wasn't lying in that interview, I have been here since the very beginning, and observing events in the process while several times, also influencing them. Numerous times, I tried to see how much more powerful you were than 6 years ago, to see how much more powerful I needed to be before facing you again. Want me to prove it? Many of you were helping me out without realizing it yet, for example..." Cell explained as he then looked at Saizou Komiyo, surprisingly.
"Saizou Komiya, come here, would you?" Cell asked with a hand gesture.
Saizou heard Cell calling him out and then pointed at himself. "What? Who? Me?" Saizou asked curiously.
"Yes you, come here," Cell said with a hand gesture to step forward.
Saizou then stepped forwards. "What do I have to do with all of this?" Saizou asked.
"Tell me something, on the first day of school, you wanted to be with Moka right?" Cell asked.
"Well yeah, I talked about it with my friend, even another guy, some guy with slicked back... blond... hair..." Saizou sounded as he started to realize something. "A slicked-back blond haired... Hey, wait for a second, I remember that..." Saizou said as Cell interrupted him.
"You remember? What were you going to say Saizou? A student with short slicked-back blond hair convinced you to go after Moka and take care of Tsukune and Gohan? Is that what you were going to say?" Cell asked.
Gohan didn't know what to say, Moka and Tsukune then looked at each other, then at Saizou Komiya. "I... remember it all, that Elleck guy told me to go after Moka, it was you last year!" Saizou said as he then looked behind and saw Moka and Tsukune.
"So, Saizou Komiya went after me and Tsukune... because of Cell?" Moka asked.
"That's right! It was me, convincing him to go after you. But like I expected, he was useless, he couldn't give me a good show to observe, so I kept hiding in the shadows for the right time..." Cell said as he then looked at Kurumu. "Kurumu, you are next!" Cell called her out.
Kurumu looked nervously at Cell. "M-Me? What do I have to do with all of this?!" Kurumu asked angrily.
"Why did you go after all the boys in school?" Cell asked.
All of the students then looked at Kurumu who looked worriedly around her. She decided to answer the android. "I-I uuhh... I-I did it to find my one and only true love!" Kurumu replied.
"Good, good good good good very good, so, who was the very last boy you managed to 'hypnotize' before Gohan and Tsukune came along?" Cell asked.
Kurumu then thought for a moment back to the time she was still hypnotizing the boys. She then remembered that the last boy she hypnotized was a boy with slicked-back blond hair. Kurumu shockingly looked at Cell. "No! There is no way you could have anything to do with..." Kurumu shouted at Cell as he interrupted her as well.
"Really? Because I do remember acting like I was hypnotized and telling you that 2 boys were still left in school for her to be hypnotized. Of course, you did not believe me and decided to go after Tsukune first. Until the moment you found out that Gohan was not under your control as well. I just needed to sprinkle a little bit more fuel to the fire. That was the first time I saw and measured Gohan's power as a Super Saiyan. So in other words, thanks to Kurumu, I finally managed to perfectly scale most of gohan's power!" Cell explained.
Kurumu then looked at her friends as she showed total fear of what happened. "You guys... really I didn't know... I-I am sorry, I shouldn't have done it in the first place!" Kurumu said saddened while she puts her hands on her head.
"I really don't like where this is going," Yukari said scaredly.
"Ohohohoh, little witch, don't get me started on your case. I was your classmate before I became the leader of the Security Committee, I told Tadashi and his friends to harass you. I kept explaining how you told everyone that you were so much better than the others. Before they started hating you, your classmates actually really liked you because of how smart and nice you were, but thanks to me, I managed to make you the most hated student so that Gohan would step up to them and save you," Cell explained.
"Ooooohhhhh!" Yukari shouted. "B-but... that's... I didn't even know you were in my class?!" Yukari told Cell with clenched fists.
"I was one of the students no one would ever bother with. The quietest person is also the deadliest. Remember, we all started school at the same time," Cell explained.
Yukari held her head down from depression. "It was all Cell, he was behind that as well! He had been the catalyst of everything bad that has happened to every one of us!" Yukari said.
"And Gohan, do you remember the Christmas trip to the Yokai Mountains?" Cell asked.
Gohan widens his eyes. "No, there is no way you could have anything to do with that!" Gohan shouted.
"Oh, okay well maybe it wasn't me who threatened that snow monster into attacking you. However, it did not go as I planned as you beat him easily with the silver-haired vampire. As punishment, I crammed the Rosarie down his teeth to give him a second chance. He ruined it again, so I put him out of his misery after he came back to me, happy that the Rosarie was out of his teeth," Cell said confidently.
"Everything that happened during Christmas, when Gohan and my inner self looked for the Rosarie, was because of Cell too?" Moka asked around.
Inner Moka especially heard that part what Cell meant about the Christmas Trip. She was watching with widened eyes and her mouth just slightly opened from the shock she witnessed. The silver-haired vampire thought back to the trip and looked the other way.
"That snow monster was sent by Cell into attacking Gohan to test his power. Because of him, we got stuck in that cave. Cell was the one who put the Rosarie in that monster's teeth. He was behind all of it?" Inner Moka said as she slowly sat down with her arms crossed.
Back on the schoolyard, Tsukune spoke up about the whole ordeal. "I just can't believe this is happening. Cell was behind almost everything that happened to us at Yokai Academy," Tsukune said frightened.
"Almost everything that is I admit, Tsukune. Sometimes I kept myself in the shadows, or I had to influence certain situations for my liking. I had nothing to do with the whole Peeping Tom nonsense or the suicidal snowgirl debacle, or you all going to the East District, but I was behind Keito getting accepted back into Yokai Academy so that she could have her ways with Gohan once again after being expelled," Cell said.
Keito heard what Cell said and spoke up. "Wait, hold on a second, you made sure I was allowed to return? I thought the principal gave me another chance to redeem myself!" Keito asked.
"Hahaha, no, I convinced Tenmei Mikogami to let you back in due to your school time being ruined for an accident. I needed you because, next to Moka's true self, you were Gohan's rival, and the more rivals Gohan has to compete with, the more of his power he will show me. I was right! It's nice to see people work for me without them knowing it," Cell said gratefully.
Keito only downs her eyebrows and held her head down. "He played me with..." Keito sounded.
Gohan then spoke up. "Keito, don't listen to him, I am not holding anything against it," Gohan said.
Keito then puts her head up against and showed a small grin from Gohan's acceptance for her.
Cell then cracked his knuckles. "Well then, I think we are done with the old nostalgia trip, all that talking made me bored. Gohan, shall we finish what we started years ago? Trust me, it won't go the same way as before," Cell prompted him.
Then Kurumu and Yukari stepped up to him. "Wait, there is one thing I don't get!" Kurumu asked.
Cell then stopped cracking his knuckles and puts his hands on his hips. "Alright, I'll bite. What would that be?" Cell asked.
"What was all about that 'Elleck Rinjou' stuff? What was all of that good for? If you are not a monster like Gohan or all of us, how did you even get that disguise?" Kurumu asked.
"Yeah, was it also to spy on Gohan? And why is the Security Committee behind you? What do they have to do with any of this?" Yukari asked.
"Ah yes, I almost forgot about that stupid name and disguise. To make a long story short, I took a potion from the school lab to make myself look like a human being. Elleck Rinjou was created on the first day of school, last year. I needed the disguise to blend in with the other students like I just explained, you should really listen. Then, I started realizing something, if you control the Security Committee, you control the entire school. I kept observing the moment on Yokai Academy where Tsukune was getting exposed as a human being. I witnessed everything, from the interrogations, to Tsukune's being crossed and almost killed, and the entire fight between Gohan and Moka at the end. After I managed to scale Gohan's power, now even as a Super Saiyan 2, I took my chance and decided to be the new leader for the students by replacing Kuyo after fishing him out of the lake. Everyone at school started to trust me while at the same time trying to complete my ultimate goal," Cell explained.
"But you did so many great things, you changed many curriculums, you helped out other students with their problems. Why would you even do those things if you were evil from the beginning?" Mizore asked.
"It's fun for me to make people trust me, it's much easier to hurt their feelings. It will break them from the inside, while I beat them up from the outside," Cell explained.
"And what is your ultimate goal?" Gohan asked.
"Sorry Gohan, but I am not going to reveal it that easily, you are going to have to work for it," Cell told him.
"Is all of this just a game to you? Just a sick joke?!" Gohan asked angrily.
"Jokes? A game? Everything I did these past 6 years was to get my revenge on you for brutally killing me like I was nothing! For me, this is not a simple game or a tournament like my father did for the kicks, this is my revenge! Once I beat you down, I will torture you until you want me to put you out of your misery yourself!" Cell shouted infuriated at the boy.
"I won't let you get your ways! If you want me, you got me!" Gohan sounded confident in his abilities.
"Great, then let's finally begin what we started !" Cell said as he slowly walked up to Gohan with a smile.
Gohan then walked up to Cell but was suddenly held back by someone else holding his shoulder. "Gohan wait, are you sure this is a good idea? You think you can take him?" Moka asked.
"I have to, don't take this the wrong way, but I am actually excited to see how much more powerful Cell Junior has become, must be my Saiyan blood making me excited to fight him," Gohan said confidently as he then looked back. "Everything will be fine, I won't let him hurt you guys, trust me Moka, you will be fine," Gohan told them as he continued to walk forward.
Moka let go of Gohan and stood together with her friends. She looked around as they all looked either worried or scared to see what would happen.
Back in the middle of the Yokai Schoolyard, Cell and Gohan stood right in front of each other. Cell stood tall with a smiling grin, while Gohan has a serious grin. Both clenched their fists. Then, Gohan cupped his hands as he draws energy in between his hands. In his hands, was a light-blue ball of energy slowly increasing in size.
"Kaaa... Meee..." Gohan sounded while concentrating his energy.
Meanwhile, Cell himself only curls his arms together as he charges his purple aura around his body. "Just need to do one more thing before we start," Cell sounded as he turned around to the Security Committee who stood far behind him.
Gohan did the same thing and while still charging his attack, he turned around to all of the students of Yokai Academy. "Haaaa... Meee...!" Gohan shouted in the direction of the students.
"Wait, is he aiming for us?" Tsukune asked.
"He's not going to shoot that thing at us, right guys?" Kurumu asked as she panicked looked around. "Right?!" Kurumu asked.
"I think he is!" Yukari shouted.
Moka then stepped forward and turned face to face with the students as she held her hand straight. "Everyone, don't panic, trust Gohan's judgment, he won't let any of you get hurt," Moka said understanding of the boy.
Gohan had fully created a light blue energy ball in his cupped hands. "Haaaaaa!" Gohan shouted as he stretched his hands and shot the Energy Beam towards the students of Yokai Academy.
Moka stood face to face with the energy beam and only closed her eyes while she smiled. "Moka! What are you doing! Get out of there!" Tsukune shouted.
Moka didn't listen to any of the warnings the other students yelled at her and welcomed the blast. What happened next was a surprise to everyone, the moment the blast came close to Moka, the energy from the Kamehameha wave suddenly spread wide around Yokai Academy itself. The light-blue energy created a protective barrier around the entire school and its people. The others looked around and saw that the school was inside a barrier that Gohan created. Moka opened her eyes and then smiled.
"I told you so, Gohan wouldn't hurt us, I immediately saw that he was planning something," Moka said proudly of her friend.
"It's beautiful, it's all glistening around," Yukari shouted as she touched the barrier.
The group them looked at Gohan who showed a smile on his face and then took a couple steps to the school. "I made sure all of you are protected, I don't want anyone to get hurt. Please, everyone, stay inside the barrier, you are saver in there," Gohan told them.
"No problem Gohan! Good luck fighting that bug!" Tsukune told him happily.
"Show no mercy, alright?" Mizore said.
"And give him a nice clean hit in the face for me, would you?" Kurumu asked with a thumbs up.
Gohan only nods and then turned around to Cell who then spreads his arms wide and shot the purple energy field towards the Security Committee, creating a purple protective barrier around them as well. The thunder strikes appeared on both barriers as Cell then turned around to his opponent.
"That way, no one will get in our way, now, it's time," Cell said.
"You are right... Gohan said as he flew a couple meters forward and once again, stood face to face with Cell Junior.
They starred each other intensely down like the rivals they truly are. Inner Moka was watching the standoff between Gohan and Cell. "It's going to begin, let's see what kind of power Gohan was talking about that he can't use against me," Inner Moka said intrigued.
Gohan vs Cell Junior, Yokai Schoolyard
Cell and Gohan kept starring each other down, energy was slowly radiating from both warriors. Gold energy clashed with purple energy. The surge caused small weather changes as clouds slowly started to cover up the sky.
The ground started shaking more and more. The students of Yokai Academy felt the earthquake inside the barrier.
"Do you feel that?" Tsukune asked.
"Those two haven't even started yet, and the ground is shaking already," Moka said as the others looked at her.
The standoff still continued between the two. Then, both fighters bend their knees and started gathering energy as their yells shook the spectators.
"Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!" Gohan shouted.
"Nuuuuuurrrrgggghhhh Raaaaahhhhhhh!" Cell shouted.
The massive energy gathering caused more and more ruckus around the entire area. The spectators had to cover themselves from the massive quakes of power. Inner Moka was watching the screen with her hand on her chin. "Hmmm..." she only mumbled.
Then, Cell shouted. "Come on!" as he tried to deal a direct fist.
"Hyaaaaa!" Gohan shouted as he responded with the same fist as they collided.
Due to the extreme amount of power, their fist struggle created several shockwaves heard and felt around the area. Then suddenly, both Cell and Gohan disappeared from sight.
The spectators looked around the area, but they didn't see them anymore like they had disappeared.
"Can any of you guys see them?" Moka asked around.
"No, I can't see anyone, it's like they just disappeared," Yukari said.
"Guys look!" Kurumu said as she pointed towards the open schoolyard field.
What they saw were numerous craters showing up everytime an attack landed, but still, they couldn't see the two fight.
Several loud noises were heard from the sky as they all looked up. Both fighters appeared and got shot down the ground. Cell and Gohan slide off the ground with both of them holding their arms crossed. Both released their blocking stance.
Gohan quickly gathered energy in his hands and puts them on his forehead. "Masenko!" Gohan shouted.
Cell only pointed his index finger in the sky and created a gigantic sphere of fire. "Supernova!" Cell shouted as he shot the ball towards Gohan's Masenko.
Both blasts collided in a one on one battle as the leftover energy was resonating off of the two blasts. The energy hit both the protective barrier around Yokai Academy and the barrier Cell put around the Security Committee.
"Master Cell can use pyrokinesis as well?!" one of the followers said surprised by Cell's attacks and techniques.
Kuyo then turned around to the followers. "Cell is a creature of extraordinary strength, speed, abilities, and techniques. His 'Supernova' is not exactly a fire technique like mine. It is a sun-like energy-based technique that only resembles the firing depths of the sun, thus calling it Supernova," Kuyo explained.
Kuyo and the rest of the members continued to watch the fight between Gohan and Cell Junior.
Gohan kept pushing and pushing, moving the Supernova from Cell back. But then, Cell pointed his index and middle finger towards the Supernova, making it overpower the beam slightly. Gohan kept pushing, but he couldn't move the sphere further.
"This attack is stronger than the one from before," Gohan said troubled.
Cell then released his ring finger and managed to get the Supernova closer and closer. The moment it was right in front of Gohan, Cell shot a ki blast towards his own attack and the sphere lighted up, exploding in front of Gohan himself. The explosion was rising up in the sky, showing smoke all over the area. Cell looked closely in the smoke, trying to pick up Gohan's energy signal, obviously knowing that he was masking it in the thick smoke.
Cell then closed his eyes and calmed his mind, he started to trust energy more than his instincts and quickly from the far right side, Gohan appeared, going in with a strong heel kick. Cell grabbed his leg as the fighters were both staring each other down.
"You couldn't find me, could you?" Cell asked.
"It takes indeed more than eyesight to win a battle, but my instincts work just as good," Gohan explained to the android.
Cell laughed. "Prove it then," he replied when Gohan started with the straight rush,
Both fighters entered a fast skirmish, dealing with punches and kicks at an extremely high speed while dodging attacks at the same time. In between the rush, Gohan punched Cell hard in the stomach which made the android gasp. Cell kneed Gohan in the right cheek as Gohan grunts.
"Urgh... Heeyyyaa!" Gohan shouted as he leaned back for a moment and spins around, dealing a hard left kick in the android's rear.
"Daah uurgh!" Cell grunts as he downed his eyebrows from anger. "Why you little!" Cell yelled.
He quickly recovered and shot a quick ki blast at the young warrior. Gohan quickly deflected the blast and went in with another pick. However, Cell grins, as it was exactly he was hoping he would do. With massive strength, Cell right punched Gohan firmly, making Gohan spit from the pain.
"Gaah!" Gohan grunts.
With his left hand, he punched he half-blood in the face, launching him several feet away as the boy slides off the ground. Cell kept his fist straight and eyebrows downed, slowly standing tall and releasing his straight arm.
"That felt good," Cell said satisfied.
The students kept cheering Gohan on from the sidelines. "Gohan, come on! Stand up!" Tsukune shouted.
"Tsukune, stop worrying, of course, Gohan will stand up, there is no way that Cell guy is that powerful, right?" Saizou asked.
"I don't know about that one Saizou, Cell is certainly not a joke, even after being here for such a long time, he said he had time to observe Gohan's fighting style," Ginei said with arms crossed and eyes closed.
Gohan suddenly opened his eyes and started coughing. He got off the ground and touched his stomach, as it was actually aching.
"You are certainly more powerful than before," Gohan said as he straightens his back and took a breather.
"Of course I am, there is a reason I waited years before facing you again," Cell said when he puts his hands on his sides. "Are you ready?" Cell asked.
Gohan suddenly reappeared before Cell and went in with another strong right punch. Cell easily grabbed his fist and related with a punch himself, as Gohan grabbed his fist. Both held each other's fist and entered an intense push struggle.
The grunts were heard from the warriors, lightning strikes struck the schoolyard all over while energy was surrounding. The force of their push battle went lower and lower into the ground, creating a large crater.
Suddenly, Gohan let go of the green android and flew sky high. Cell went in pursuit and flew after him with high speed. Gohan saw Cell on his tail and shot 5 ki blast towards the android, but Cell deflects all 5 blasts and once again entered a speeding skirmish of kicks and punches, dodging and dealing attacks with his rival.
Everyone was watching the fight from a safe distance at how it would play out. The group was especially watching with great suspense because this match would decide who lives and who dies.
"Just... look at them go over there, this is unbelievable!" Kurumu said.
"It's really something, so... this is how Gohan fights with someone who is on par with him?" Mizore asked.
"On par? Mizore, Gohan is not fighting on par, he still has his transformations," Yukari said smartly.
"Yeah, that's right, but then, why isn't he using his transformation right now? They seem really powerful, I bet strong enough to beat Cell," Tsukune said.
"I don't know, I just hope nothing bad will happen," Moka said with her hand on her heart.
Meanwhile, in the sky, Gohan landed a direct hit in Cell's chest, which stunned the biomechanical android. Gohan rushed him down the ground with a flurry of kicks and punches, afterward Meteor Smashing him down.
Cell smashed to the ground, getting dug into his own hole. Inside the dirt, Cell had his eyes closed and actually smiles. "Hehehe..." he mumbled as he then opened his eyes and saw a bright light right above him.
"Masenko!" Gohan shouted as he shot a giant yellow ki blast down the hole from the sky.
Cell traveled with the beam deeper and deeper into the ground. While Gohan was in the sky, he watched the hole where Cell would come through. Inner Moka saw the assault Gohan dealt.
"That was similar to what he did with me, only difference is... However..." Inner Moka said.
Gohan went down the ground and stood tall, he then turned around to the students of Yokai Academy.
"I'm sorry guys, I couldn't take him down with that last attack, I had to hold back," Gohan explained.
"Why? I mean, you had your chance, why didn't you take it?" Moka asked.
"Because a blast straight down with that much force will damage the planet, or even worse, destroy it," Gohan said strictly.
"Destroy the Earth? Yeah right, next thing you tell me is that Cell is still holding back his real power, am I right?" Kurumu asked jokingly.
Gohan kept looking at her with a serious expression, she kept smiling, then opened her eyes and saw that he wasn't joking. "A-Are you serious?" Kurumu asked.
"One hundred percent serious," Gohan answered.
Inner Moka only mumbled with her arms crossed.
"Hmmm, energy strong enough to disintegrate an entire world our of existence, one day I will get that power as well," Inner Moka said as she closed her eyes, knowing who she was truly up against.
Suddenly, Cell appeared in front of the hole and face to face with Gohan. He only smiled while Gohan looked behind him with downed eyebrows.
"Alright Gohan, I guess that was a great warm-up, my muscles are all lost, what about you?" Cell asked while twisting his arms and muscles.
Gohan stretched his legs and bends his knees, at the same time, twisting his arms to loosen his muscles as well. "Yeah, I am all warmed up and ready to go all out, let's get serious," Gohan said as he stood tall.
Cell clenched both his fists, but something different just happened. Cell kept a neutral face, emotionless to his opponent. "Bring it on," Cell said as he caught his attention.
Cell showed a hand gesture to come at him. Gohan held one eyebrow up and gathered energy from inside himself. His aura surged through his body and the slightly pumped his muscles up. Lastly, Gohan's hair turned from black to gold while rocks around him shot up from the ground.
As the smoke was slowly disappearing, Gohan appeared with gold hair and his energy surging through and around him. Gohan only held his eyebrows down as he finally went Super Saiyan.
"He's transformed! Come on Gohan, take him down!" Tsukune shouted.
"Cell is in real trouble now!" Ruby said happily
Gohan looked at Cell and spoke up. "Let's do this Cell," Gohan said as he slowly transitions into his fighting stance.
Cell kept his fist down and normally just stood there, like a statue. Gohan couldn't take Cell's nonchalant attitude.
"Maybe he's mocking me, for me to make a mistake? Or to make me arrogant so that I would drop my guard? I won't play his games," Gohan said as he flew fastly towards Cell and gathered energy in his hand.
He shot the blast towards Cell and disappeared as the android was still just standing. The ki blast went for a direct hit and suddenly stopped in front of Cell's face. From behind, Gohan went in with a punch, but Cell immediately grabbed Gohan's fist.
"Ah!" Gohan gawked at the blocked punch.
Gohan quickly lets go of Cell and turned towards him, face to face. "Gohan..." Cell called him out. "Go Super Saiyan 2, I thought you said you were ready to fight seriously, then fight seriously," Cell told him.
"Don't tell me what to do!" Gohan shouted as he rushed Cell into a trademark skirmish.
Cell wasn't attacking, Gohan went wild and kept trying to get a hit in. In the skirmish, Cell first blocked his high punch, thus Gohan quickly went low, but the android was once again too fast and blocked his low kick. Lastly, Gohan once again tried a strong punch to the stomach, Cell used both his hands to catch his fist. He just couldn't hit him anymore.
"I can't sense how strong he is or how much power he is using, but luckily, my instincts haven't failed me yet," Gohan thought troubled.
The punch caused the ground to form a crater. Gohan kept watching angrily while Cell still kept a nonchalant face.
"As long as you won't turn Super Saiyan 2, you won't touch me," Cell told him strictly.
Gohan grunts and jumped back. He bends his knees and cupped his hands, gathering energy for his next attack. In his hand was energy slowly increasing in strength.
"Kamehameha!" Gohan shouted at once as he shot the light-blue beam towards Cell.
Cell watched the beam coming closer and closer to him and only moved his arm and waited for the beam to come closer. As it got right in front of him, Cell's backhand hit the Kamehameha wave and deflected it far away. Gohan widens his eyes as he saw the beam traveling right into the Yokai Forest. He then looked back at Cell as he held his arms crossed and eyes closed.
"Gohan, if you won't give me what I want, then I will just have to force you..." Cell said as he then thought in his mind. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5... and 6," Cell thought as he then opened his eyes.
"There are six in total, perfect, I'll use the people he cares about," Cell said to himself.
"What are you talking about?" Gohan asked cluelessly.
"You'll see, but first, I need to get rid of a nuisance," Cell told him as he then raised his right hand straightforward. "HUMPH!" Cell grunts.
From his hand, he released a strong invisible force that shocked the students of Yokai Academy. What Cell's force did what destroy Gohan's protective barrier around Yokai Academy, and everyone was fully exposed.
"Was that a Kiai! I have never seen a version that powerful before!" Gohan sounded astounded by the devastating shockwave.
"It's a more advanced version, I'd like to call it: Gravity Impact," Cell explained
The crowd was covering themselves. They removed their arms from their heads and saw that the barrier was completely gone, it was destroyed by Cell himself with doppelgangers invisible force.
"Oh no, the barrier broke!" Moka sounded worried.
"This is very bad, what will happen next?" Mizore said coldly.
Gohan looked behind and saw that everyone was out in the open, as he then quickly turned to Cell.
"Cell, what are you doing!" Gohan shouted angrily.
Cell then released his crossed arms and clenched his fists. "You know, Gohan, like my father, I too have the ability to create off-springs of myself. My limit goes up to 14 with my current power, all of them will be almost as powerful as me, I can use them to attack those meddling kids," Cell explained to him.
"He meant us?" Kurumu asked shockingly.
"I think he does! We have to defend ourselves," Yukari said as she grabbed her magic wand.
"Cell! You have made this mistake before! If you try this again, I will destroy you without a second thought!" Gohan shouted.
"Empty threats, but no, I won't use the same tricks as the original Cell..." Cell said as he then gained a sinister smile. "But then there is Freeza, the master of torture," Cell said when he quickly disappeared.
As Cell reappeared in the crowd of students, he only targeted 6 people of the students that were there. First, Cell targeted Ruby and Kurumu with invisible energy that he used to poke them in the chest, then followed Mizore and Yukari. Last people who were targeted were Tsukune and Moka.
The six targets all fell on their backs from Cell's attack. "There we go, that should do the trick," Cell said.
Gohan widens his eyes from Cell's actions. "What did you do to them!" Gohan shouted as he quickly flew up to his friends. "Guys! Are you alright?" Gohan asked.
Moka got up off the ground and looked around him. "Huh? I thought he attacked us, but I don't feel anything," Tsukune said.
"Me neither, did he really do something to me?" Kurumu asked as she looked around her body
"I don't know, I don't feel different," Ruby said.
"Even though I don't see anything wrong, I still don't trust this," Mizore said.
Gohan then looked at Cell. "Cell, what are you trying to do?!" Gohan shouted.
"Gohan, I have got a question with you," Cell said as Gohan listened to what he had to say. "Ever since I have been here, I have noticed that you made some pretty trustworthy friends, well, until they all turned their backs on you but whatever," Cell said as he sides his head to the right.
"Yeah, they are, they make mistakes, but so do I," Gohan told him.
"However, ever since The Great Barrier broke, you managed to develop your friendship further and further, am I right or wrong?" Cell asked.
"Develop... further?" Gohan stuttered heavily.
"Oh yes, everything that happened, I know about it, you know, the time with the vampire?" Cell asked as he then started to execute his plan. "Your friends will meet their end because you failed to protect them. Let the fun begin," Cell said.
Cell raised his right hand and held it wide open. While he held his hand open, suddenly Tsukune started to levitate, followed by Moka
"Wowow! Hey, why am I floating?!" Tsukune shouted.
"Me too! I can't stop!" Moka shouted.
Next were Kurumu and Mizore, lastly were Yukari and Ruby who started to float up higher and higher. Gohan looked back at the group and saw them flying next to each other in the sky.
"Cell! Stop it! They got nothing to do with this!" Gohan shouted.
"Oh Gohan, you should be way more worried, don't you remember this special technique? By Freeza?" Cell asked.
Gohan looked at the ground and thought for a moment. Then slowly, Gohan looked up at the sky and noticed that all of their chests were showing a small red light. Gohan remembered that Freeza used the exact same technique on Krillin, one of his best friends, and blew him up into pieces. "No... No! Not that!" Gohan shouted.
"That's right! Freeza's last resort! All of your friends have my energy inside them, and when I clench my fist, all of them will go boom!" Cell shouted.
"He is going to blow us all up! We have to do something, you guys!" Moka shouted worriedly.
Moka then looked at her Rosarie and tried to reach towards it, but she couldn't. I can't grab it, I can't move my arms! Tsukune, you have to help me out and pull the Rosarie off!" Moka shouted.
"I can't Moka! I cannot move either!" Tsukune yelled while being paralyzed.
"We have to use our powers to get out of this!" Ruby shouted as she grabbed her magic wand and looked at Yukari floating next to her. "Yukari, if we combine our wands, we can..." Ruby said as Cell then spoke up to them.
"Ah-Ah-Ah Ruby, I wouldn't do that if I were you. The energy bomb I implanted into you are extremely sensitive. Transformations or using magic will make the bomb go off early. Secondly, do you really believe I am not that fast on my own trigger? If any of you try to turn into your monster form, I will blow you all up the second I see my chance," Cell explained.
"So we can't turn into our monster forms?! We can't do anything about this?!" Mizore shouted.
"This can't be it! Gohan, you have to help us!" Yukari shouted at the boy.
Gohan quickly flew up to Cell and stood face to face. "Stop this! I'll do anything if you won't kill them!" Gohan pleaded for him to let him go.
"Anything you tell me? Then go Super Saiyan 2 right now! This is your last chance or else, your friends will meet with your father really soon!" Cell shouted at him.
"I can't do that here, I can't use that transformation here! It's too dangerous! I might destroy everything on my path!" Gohan told him.
"Then their death's... is your fault!" Cell shouted as he slowly clenched his fist.
The energy Cell implanted in the six started to light up. Gohan looked up at the sky and saw that each their lights were glowing. He took a couple steps forward and clenched his fists, concentrating his energy. "That's it, it's the only way! Sorry Tien, but I have to borrow your technique, I have to save my friends!" Gohan shouted
"Aaaaahhhhhhhhh!" Gohan shouted loudly as his energy was rising up. "Multi-Form!" Gohan yelled.
Then from Gohan's body, a doppelganger appeared next to him on the right side, then one doppelganger appeared on the left side. Then 3 more appeared from his body. Gohan crouched on the ground from the exhausting technique, creating 5 doppelgangers of himself.
"Go! Save them, I'll be there in a second! Go now!" Gohan quickly told his doppelgangers.
The doppelgangers flew up to the group floating in the sky, each picked one person to help out. Cell was watching everything happening. "Ah, he used Tenshinhan's Multi-Form. That technique takes too much energy from the user, splitting it into five doppelgangers will use up 20% of the user on each clone. He's taking a great risk," Cell commented.
The doppelgangers held their hand on their chest. "Don't worry, you'll be fine," the Gohan Doppelgangers said at the same time.
"I didn't even know you could do that! That is awesome!" Kurumu shouted.
"It's not my technique, but from a friend of mine, I need it to be at 5 places at the same time!" the Gohan Doppelganger explained.
However, Moka was left without a doppelganger to help her out. "What about me! Why don't I get any help?" Moka asked.
"The Multiform Technique takes a lot of energy, the original Gohan will be with you soon!" The Gohan doppelganger explained.
Then, from the ground, Gohan quickly flew up to Moka to help her out. Meanwhile, all the 5 Doppelgangers placed their hands on each of the girls and Tsukune's chest. They closed their eyes and concentrated.
"Don't move..." the doppelganger said at the same time.
As the focused their energy, they slowly removed their hands from their chests, releasing the red energy Cell infected them with. They threw the infected energy from Cell far into the sky as it exploded in the sky. As the others were saved again, the Gohan doppelgangers went down the ground to bring them back to safety.
"That was close! We almost died!" Tsukune panicked.
The group stood on the ground again, they all took a breather from the danger they managed to avoid.
"You are all save, good," the doppelganger said at the same time.
"Wait, where is Moka?" Tsukune asked.
"The original is still up there, I don't know why, he should have been done by now," the Gohan-doppelgangers explained.
The group looked at Gohan and Moka who were floating in the sky. Gohan kept gathering his energy to release Moka from Cell's infection, but for some reason, it did not work.
"It's not coming out! Why isn't it coming out! Come on!" Gohan shouted.
"Gohan, please, you have to do something!" Moka pleaded as the red energy light got brighter and brighter.
Gohan kept using his own power to sent Cell's energy out, but still, it kept itself in Moka's body. Gohan puts his head down from exhaustion.
"What's wrong?" Moka asked.
"It's the Doppelgangers, creating 5 of them takes too much energy from me," Gohan said as he then puts his head back up and showed an infuriated expression. "Moka! I won't let you diiiiiiiiiieeeee!" Gohan shouted.
Gohan suddenly changed as his energy was skyrocketing. His hair turned slightly spikier and gained lightning strikes surging around his body. He then looked Moka straight in her eyes and once again places his hand on Moka's chest. Unfortunately, due to his lighting strikes hitting sky high, the strikes still managed to hit the new barrier that was created weeks ago, only showing cracks.
The Saiyan slowly releases his hand off her chest as it shows Cell's red energy infection. He then held the energy he released from Moka's body in his hand and crushed it entirely. It exploded, the explosion did absolutely nothing to Gohan himself.
However, due to Gohan's stamina being low from the Multi-Form technique, and on top of it, using Super Saiyan 2, Gohan was exhausted and slowly descends down while holding Moka tightly in his arms.
"I did it... you are save Moka," Gohan said extremely tired.
"Thank you Gohan, you saved my life and my other self!" Moka said gratefully while she held Gohan up from falling on the ground.
Cell then claps his hands, actually applauding Gohan for his efforts. "Well done Gohan, well done! Your true power has been released. You know, I had to make Moka's energy bomb much more powerful so that you couldn't get it out as easily as the bombs from your friends. I knew you would go Super Saiyan 2 for the vampire," Cell explained.
Gohan didn't answer him, but Cell still continued while Moka watched him with an angered expression. "I now see that you would risk damaging Yokai Academy and the Great Barrier to save the one you love," Cell told them.
The group was shocked by Cell words, Gohan only held his head down as Mizore closed her eyes and puts her hand on her forehead.
"Hold on a second, what did he say about... love?" Kurumu asked shockingly.
"Did he just said that Gohan... loves... Moka?!" Tsukune sounded.
Moka widens her eyes as she slowly turned towards Gohan who only kept watching Cell with tiredness in his eyes.
Cell noticed the shock in all of their voices and spoke up. "That's right, Gohan has been in love with the silver-haired vampire for some time now. Using the people you love against is the best way to fight the enemy, you are attacking their heart," Cell told them.
"What! I-Is that true!" Yukari asked as the entire group looked at Gohan, he didn't raise his head.
Mizore shook her head. "So much for keeping it a secret, and it has only been 1 hour," Mizore said annoyed.
Kurumu overheard the snowwoman and quickly approached her.
"Secret? You mean to tell me that you knew all along? How long have you known about it?!" Kurumu asked angrily.
"Only for today. These are not the type of things to share with others Kurumu. I talked with Gohan, and I promised him not to tell anyone about this!" Mizore explained.
While Mizore and Kurumu were in a verbal discussion, Moka then looked at Gohan. "Gohan, is it true? Do you really love my inner self," Moka asked.
It took a couple minutes, as everyone got quiet. Then finally, Gohan spoke up to the pink-haired vampire.
"Ever since we were together, your counterpart I mean, it felt like we had a special bond together. Everything we did, made me feel we were more than just friends, it felt like we could connect with each other. It made me want to be with her more than I intended. She told me yesterday..." Gohan said as he raised his head. "That: "If we had more time with each other, a couple more weeks or months, that we could have become more than just friends," and I said, that she only made it worse because I agreed with her. I really started to love her, Moka. But yesterday, when she explained to me her real reason for being with me, it felt like everything we have been through and what I felt for her was fake, all not real. That is the reason I was mostly distracted today," Gohan explained when he looked Moka right in her eyes, who understood his feelings.
"Gohan, I finally understand it now. When my inner self hurt you by manipulating and using you just to beat you up, you felt like your feelings for her weren't real. So today, you were deeply conflicted with yourself," Moka said as she looked down her necklace and finally noticed that it was lighting up. "My Rosarie, it is glowing, which means that..." Moka said as she then quickly looked at Gohan.
Inside the Rosarie, Inner Moka heard everything that happened and everything Gohan just explained. She was watching the screen with wide eyes and her mouth slightly open. She slowly stepped back a couple feet.
"He agreed with me when I said that!?" Inner Moka said as she looked down the ground and turned her back on the screen. "He said that he loved me?" Inner Moka said as she kept looking at the ground. "Gohan, what you feel for me is... is not an illusion," Inner Moka hesitated heavily.
Gohan let go of Moka as they only kept looking at each other. Tsukune looked at Gohan and approached him.
"Gohan, I just want to ask you..." Tsukune said nervously. "Do you really love Moka?" Tsukune asked.
"Tsukune, look, I am..." Gohan said as Tsukune then interrupted him.
"Just... tell me... please," Tsukune prompted him.
Gohan took a deep sigh. "I'm sorry Tsukune. I know you have feelings for Moka as well," Gohan told him.
"Don't worry, it's alright, that is all I wanted to hear Gohan. I am not mad at you when you explained your feelings, it showed me that you care for Moka's true self, something I was missing," Tsukune explained.
"Thank you for understanding Tsukune," Gohan replied.
"Listen, I am very sorry for the way I treated you for all these days, Kurumu and Yukari both are really sorry. Can you please forgive me us Gohan? We will do everything to make things right again," Tsukune pleaded to him.
"Of course I forgive you guys, I just hope everything can go back to what it was before all of this happened when we were all friends with each other," Gohan said.
Moka then approached him.
"Gohan, if there was a way for you to see my inner self again, would you want to be together with her if she happens to feel the same way about you?" Moka asked.
Inner Moka listened closely on their conversation, hearing what Gohan has to say about it.
"Moka..." Gohan said as he closed his eyes for a second and then smiled. "There is nothing else I want to do than to be together with her," Gohan said happily.
Inner Moka closed her eyes and still showed a real smile on her face. "I would too, Gohan. Maybe it's time we did," Inner Moka said as she then looked back at the screen.
Moka then spoke up. "That is great Gohan, just look at my Rosarie, it is shining. It means that she has been listening and watching over us the entire time," Moka explained.
Suddenly, the light of her Rosarie got brighter and brighter, and a voice suddenly came from within the Rosarie. "Gohan, it's me, the Real Moka Akashiya," Inner Moka spoke through the Rosarie.
Gohan looked at Moka's Rosarie and knew exactly to whom the voice belonged. "Hi, Moka, it's nice to hear from you again," Gohan told her.
"Even after last night?" Moka asked.
"I understand why you did what you did, I shouldn't have treated you the way I did in our fight, and I am sorry for everything I did," Gohan told her.
"Gohan, don't worry about that right now, I have seen you fight against Cell, and I cannot fight like that. Anyways, I heard about everything that happened today," Inner Moka said from the Rosarie.
"Moka told me you were listening to this whole time, is that true?" Gohan told her.
"That's right. And I heard that you... All I can say is that I wish we could be together like we did before all of this mess started, but it's too late for that, for... us. Unless it is destroyed or in any other special case, I am obligated to wear the Rosarie, sealing me away," Inner Moka explained when she then looked at the ground while narrowing her eyelids.
"I cannot sacrifice Moka for you to come back, I am at least glad I had the strength to tell you. I didn't want to, but I felt I had too," Gohan replied.
"Just do one thing for me," Inner Moka asked of him.
"And what is that?" Gohan asked.
"Kick Cell's ass and make sure that there is nothing left of him. Maybe I will see you sooner," Inner Moka told him confidently with an arrogant grin.
Gohan nods and then walked away from Moka, speaking up to the rest of the students. "Now it's time to get serious, for Moka. I am sorry everyone, I can't create another barrier to protect you guys, I need to save my energy. Make sure you stay safe and take cover!" Gohan said to the students of Yokai Academy.
Tsukune and Moka looked at each other. "Moka, what do you think ?" Tsukune asked.
"Tsukune, we have to do something for Gohan to cheer him up when all of this is over," Moka said.
"I think we should..." Tsukune said as Gohan then continued with one last thing.
"Cell has crossed me for the last time, and I won't take it anymore! I will end this Noooooww!" Gohan shouted as he speeds towards Cell in an angry rush.
The students all watched the fight that continued and decided to find themselves a safe spot to hide. Cell wides his eyes and saw Gohan heading right his way. He quickly raised his guard, but it was already too late. Gohan punched Cell straight in the face, making Cell step back from the extreme impact.
The force of Gohan's punch gave Cell a noseblood. He looked at his hand and saw purple blood on his finger, then looked at Gohan as the half-breed Super Saiyan 2 backhanded Cell in the face again and punched him in the stomach. Lastly, he kicked Cell in the head, launching him away.
Gohan then charged his energy in his hands as he energy was overflowing all over the area. The gathering of energy made the wind waver over the half Saiyan. "Kamehame...!" Gohan shouted.
Cell opened his eyes. "Gargh!" Cell grunts.
"Haaaaa...!" Gohan shouted as he shot a huge Kamehameha wave at Cell.
While Cell was still getting launched, the Kamehameha wave traveled to the Android and got a direct hit. From the energy, wave occurred a massive explosion in the aftermath. The spectators of Yokai Academy covered themselves from the blast.
Smoke covered everyone's sight, Gohan only kept watching the place he sent his enemy off to. As Gohan's sight cleared up, Cell was laying on the ground, revealing that his arms, legs, and head were destroyed in the blast. Gohan kept looking at the Cell's body.
"It's never that easy," Gohan commented.
Cell first regenerated his legs, then jumped off the ground, regenerating his arms and lastly, his head. Green acid was dripping from Cell's body and sinking into the ground. The android then looked at Gohan and cracked his neck. "Time to get serious," Cell said when suddenly, he and Gohan disappeared from sight.
They revealed to be trading punches in the sky, causing the sky to lose their clouds, showing clashes in each direction. Gohan spins fastly around, punching high and using mid kicks to pressure the android. Cell avoided Gohan's deadly strikes and clashed fists with him. In high speed, they clashed high punches, mid- and low kicks. Both fighters kept their expression composed.
In between them skirmish, Cell kicked Gohan away and reappeared behind him, meteor smashing the young man down the grounds as he bounced off. He grabbed his leg in mid-air and swings Gohan around, throwing him away through Yokai Academy, crashing through the building. Cell went in the pursuit.
"If I could just sense him, it would have been much easier!" Gohan said as he recovered just in time and blocked Cell's punch, but the android didn't give up and pushed Gohan further.
"I will use the Dragon Balls to rebuild Yokai Academy, I promise!" Gohan shouted at the scholars while continuing his extreme battle.
The power they displayed was unreal, as the aftermath of their fight caused the ground to break and the sky to change to the respective color of their energy, gold vs purple. Inside the building, Gohan backflipped and stood firm on the ground, he saw Cell rushing towards him as he puts his arms to his sides and rapidly fires destructive energy bullets.
The bullets all homed in on Cell as he kicked and punched the ki blasts away, as the deflected blasts went through the building. In the process, Cell's purple energy was surrounding his being and puts his arms together. He then spreads them out and created a purple energy shield to protect himself from the continuous bullets.
Cell dropped the energy shield, and the moment the roof was coming down on them. Gohan raised his energy and together with Cell, flew through the roof. The two were floating in the sky, facing each other. Cell kept himself composed against Super Saiyan 2 Gohan.
Cell didn't answer and kept looking at him. Gohan kept looking as to why Cell didn't say anything.
"What's wrong?!" Gohan asked him.
"Gohan, it's over," Cell told him.
"Over? I don't think so, I..." Gohan said when Cell materialized behind Gohan.
"Oh, I do think so," Cell said with a confident smile on his face.
Gohan quickly turned around, but Cell was too quick for Gohan and managed to backhand him down to the ground.
"Dargah!" Gohan shouted in the process.
The students of Yokai looked in the sky and saw a gold light quickly falling down. The group noticed the light as well and looked closely.
"What is that?" Moka asked.
"I don't know," Kurumu replied.
When the light came closer and closer, Gohan was revealed to be the one to fall down. "It's Gohan!" Tsukune shouted.
Gohan smashed into the ground and got buried in a hole. The group kept their save distance, he crawled out of the hole and coughed the dust out of his throat. Cell landed right in front of Gohan.
"This will be fun," Cell told him.
Gohan grunts angrily and jumped out of the hole, trying to punch the android. But Cell sidestepped the boy's punch and grabbed Gohan's face, holding him in mid-air. Gohan was getting held high, he grabbed Cell's arm, but for some reason, he couldn't move out of his grip, making him wide his eyes.
"I can't get out of this! He couldn't be... holding back!?" Gohan thought as he looked at Cell's eyes.
Cell then let go of Gohan as he backed away from the android. Gohan felt his cheek aching. Cell then walked over to Gohan, who was standing in fighting stance. Gohan shot a ki blast, which got deflected back at the half-blood who sidestepped away from it. Gohan looked at the ki ball flying and then looked at Cell who stood right in front of him.
Cell attacked with speeding punches, hitting Gohan everywhere. The boy tried to dodge it, but somehow his speed and his instinct to pick up Cell's movement wasn't enough to save him from the attacks. Cell kept dealing deadly strikes to the face and to the torso, like an invisible force of destruction kept dealing damage.
"Dargh!" Gohan shouted from the pain.
Cell then transitioned into kicks and kept kicking into the half-breed Saiyan. Cell ended it with a strong kick in the stomach, as his foot appeared on his back. Gohan spits blood and fell meters back, holding his stomach ache.
"Ahh... I can't give up!" Gohan said as he tried to get up off the ground.
But Cell then grabbed Gohan from the ground and held him up with one hand in mid-air, he then kept punching Gohan in the stomach harder and harder until he spat blood in Cell's face.
Cell licked the blood off his face and dealt massive strikes. "Tasty," Cell commented, greatly damaging Gohan who got launched far away.
He fell close to the students of Yokai Academy, who saw him laying on the ground, bleeding and injured. Tsukune and Moka saw Gohan laying on the ground and tried to run up on his.
"Gohan!" Moka and Tsukune shouted.
Cell saw them running towards Gohan and gathered energy in his hand, wiping them easily away.
"Stay out of this!" Cell shouted as the group fell back on the ground, away from Gohan to even be of any help.
"We can't even get close!" Mizore said.
Cell looked at Gohan who slowly got up off the ground and stood on his feet, his energy started to decrease more and more. "Now for the grand finale," Cell said as he pointed his index finger at Gohan who kept looking at him while holding his arm.
The android shot a quick purple ki blast at Gohan, drilling right through his left shoulder.
"Aaahh! Ah!" Gohan shouted from the pain.
"You feel that! Freeza's Death Beam is the ultimate torture device, emphasis on 'Death' will become clear to you!" Cell shouted as she shot another beam into Gohan's right shoulder.
"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!" Gohan shouted in pain and agony.
Blood was dripping from his shoulder through his arms and started dripping on the floor. Gohan's feet started to crumble from the pain, but still, he tried to keep it together. Cell looked at Gohan's legs.
"Does it hurt to stand?! I can do something about that! Your legs are next!" Cell shouted maniacally as he shot several a beam straight through his legs.
It kept getting worse and worse, Cell loved every moment of it. The beams kept drilling the half-breed Saiyan in different parts of his body while still missing his vital parts. He targeted the torso, then his sides, his legs so that he wouldn't move a muscle, his arms to make sure he couldn't reach. He made sure Gohan's couldn't use any part of his body anymore, while at the same time, keeping him alive for the time being.
"No stop! This is too much!" Yukari shouted scaredly while tears were running down her cheeks from.
Ruby held her tightly, while Mizore looked the other way. "I just... can't stand seeing this, it's too horrible," Mizore said with grief in her face.
Gohan crouched on his knees, he couldn't move a muscle anymore, the amount of pain Cell caused was too much, that he even turned back to his base form. Cell looked at Gohan in disgust.
"Hmph, look at you. You were once considered the strongest warrior in the world, now you are nothing more than a slouch, and to tell you the truth," Cell said to him.
Cell clenched his fists and increased his energy. Suddenly, lightning strikes appeared around him as he gained a shinier body.
"This is my true power. The amount of training I went through made it possible for me to become much stronger than my father was when he was even more perfect. Call it: Ultimate Cell. Too bad, not even your Ascended Form can match up to me," Cell said as he then quickly powered down.
"I don't need my Ultimate Form anymore, would be a waste of energy," Cell explained, showcasing Gohan the power he was up against the whole time.
The boy was completely incapacitated, watching Cell in fear. "His power even surpassed Cell in his most perfected form?! He has been toying around with me the whole time!" Gohan said in pain.
Tsukune, Moka, and Kurumu saw Gohan laying on the ground, beaten and covered in blood. Cell slowly approached Gohan, but then, two people stood in his way. Moka and Tsukune blocked Cell's way towards the boy.
"Stop it right now! You can't do this! Please, I beg of you, let him go!" Moka pleaded to the evil android.
"There is no reason to kill him, we will get you what you want, just let him be," Tsukune pleaded.
Inner Moka kept watching with her arms crossed, she saw Gohan in deep pain as she looked troubled to the screen. "Gohan, stand up, you can do it, you can beat him! Get up!" Inner Moka told him.
Cell looked at the two kids and thought for a moment. "No reason? I have more than enough reasons to make sure Gohan won't see the end of this day. That kid has broken me in half and tortured me to death. I am simply returning the favor," Cell said as he kept looking at the broken half-blooded Saiyan laying on the ground.
"One of the reasons is... Vengeance!" Cell shouted from pure anger while in a quick flash, Cell pointed his index finger and quickly shot the last Death Beam with more force.
The beam passed Moka and Tsukune, and went directly to Gohan, hitting him in the middle of his chest.
"Aaaaaaahhhh!" Gohan shouted from the pain.
Moka and Tsukune looked behind at Gohan, he immediately went into shock and fell to the ground while coughing the last poule of blood from his body.
"No!" Tsukune shouted.
"Gohan!" Moka shouted.
They both ran up to him and crouched next to the boy on the same height. Moka held Gohan's head as Tsukune held his hand. Gohan only had slightly his eyes closed.
Inner Moka had her eyes wide open with pure anger, she clenched her fists and raised her energy.
Moka and Tsukune tried to make sure Gohan wakes up no matter what. Cell only grunts and turned his back on them, walking away towards the followers of his Security Committee. He released the barrier and approached Kuyo while he greatly decreased his energy level.
"Too easy, even Super Saiyan 2 is nothing compared to my Ultimate Form," Cell told him.
"As expected Master Cell," Kuyo said as he bowed to him and then looked in the distance. "What about his friends?" Kuyo asked.
"They will meet their ends soon enough, right now. As for Gohan...hmmm," Cell said as he thought once again.
Meanwhile, Moka and Tsukune kept shuffling Gohan around. Yukari, Kurumu, and Ruby quickly ran up to them.
"Aaahhh! This isn't really happening right now!" Yukari shouted frighteningly.
"He tortured him! It was horrible, it's something I never want to see again," Tsukune said saddened as he closed his eyes.
"B-but that is..." Ruby sounded shocking as she then looked at Cell. "His power, is terrifying, what he did to Gohan, is pure evil," Ruby said worriedly.
Then, Gohan managed to open his eyes, but just a little. He couldn't really move, he only tried to speak up.
"I'm... sorry... I failed you all," Gohan told them,
"Don't apologize! Please, you can't die, you can't! Is there any way we can save you!?" Moka asked, shedding tears for the boy.
"I don't... have... Senzu anymore, this is... the end... for me," Gohan sounded soft.
With the amount of strength he still had left in him, he tried to move his arm full of holes, just slightly, reaching towards Moka. "Moka..." Gohan said.
All the girls around him shed tears from Gohan's last moment with them, Moka and Tsukune were the closest to him.
"Get... out of here..." Gohan said as he went closer and closer to Moka's Rosarie. "Go to Earth... and find... Piccolo... and Vegeta..." he said while stuttering heavily.
The moment he let his last word out, he touched the Rosarie, as it disconnected from her necklace, pulling it off. The group looked at the Rosaire Gohan pulled off as Gohan gave them his last words.
"I'll leave... the rest... to you Moka. Make sure... everyone stays... alive... I beg of you..." Gohan sounded.
He slowly closed his eyes, and his arms fell to the ground and let his head fall in Moka's arms.
The group grieved from the huge loss they witnessed. Gohan was gone. After Gohan's passing, Moka's transformation began. The vampire gained a bustier figure, her hair turned silver and her eyes became red. Bats surrounded her body completely and showcased Inner Moka returning with her energy surging.
Moka became her true self once again and kept her eyes closed. She then quickly opened them up. The group looked at Moka as she held Gohan in her arms while watching the boy closely.
"I won't accept it, I will find a way to save you Gohan, I owe you that much," Moka said angrily while her energy was rising to an extremely high level.
She kept his head next to her own, then went right to his chest. The vampire tried to make sure if he still had a heartbeat. When she listened, she widens her eyes, but what happened next was unexpected. Gohan's body floated out of Moka's arms and up in the sky.
What! Moka shouted in shock.
Moka looked up and then behind her with her eyebrows down, Cell used his telekinesis as he brought Gohan's body to his side.
"I will keep him for myself. He can watch me merge the two worlds while he fades away from this planet!" Cell told them.
Moka showed her face, an expression that shows a great deal of fury and hostility towards Cell and anyone who is acquainted with him.
"Give him back, you asshole! You have done enough!" Moka shouted threateningly at him.
"Ahahahaha, such bravado, I love it! What are you going to do about it? Kick me to death? Use pressure points? Gohan was the only one who could match me, and look at how he ended. I can regenerate my body much faster than my predecessor without using too much of my energy, making me immortal! Hit every vital organ in my body, I guarantee you, I will hit much harder back," Cell threatened her back.
Moka's energy kept increasing more and more. "Then I will take him from you!" Moka said as he used her insane speed and approached Cell quickly.
But he was not intimidated at all, because then, Kuyo stood right in front of her. He used his arm and Moka with her powerful kick, colliding with her. "You won't get close to Cell," Kuyo said as he tried to punch Moka away.
Moka quickly activated The Shield but was still pushed back by Kuyo's attack. "He's gotten stronger. Before, he would have been beaten by now," Moka said troubled as she then looked at her hands. "No worries, I have become stronger as well," Moka said gratefully of her new abilities.
Kuyo starred Moka down, who starred back. "Moka, this fight will go very different from our last fight, I am well prepared for everything. You are no match for me anymore. What Cell did to Gohan, will also happen to you," Kuyo said in fighting stance.
Moka stood in her fighting stance as well. "Kuyo, the last time we met, Gohan prevented me from killing you. He can't tell me what to do anymore, which means I will make sure to kill you slowly beneath my feet!" Moka shouted.
Moka and Kuyo ran up to each other, and once again clashed fist to kick, starting their battle.
