Chi-Chi wiped her eyes as she was by herself, trying not to fall back into depression,
She will await his return, instead of mourning most of her free time she resumes her life again,
It was hard living without Goku again and maybe she should have spend more time with him getting back to martial arts, but she let him train alone assuming he'll be back for dinner as always, but this time he didn't come back.
Chi-Chi let her eyes water again when she glanced at the recent family picture they made,
She held on to the timemachine capsule, when Gohan grows up she will live with Goku in a different timeline.
It's the only way to truly feel happy, When Gohan has a family of his own she can choose for herself again.
There is nothing selfish about it, Chi-Chi has learned that her only job as a parent is to prepare her children for the real world, after that you can rest.
Gohan is allowed to train Aslong he doesn't forsake his studies, a safe world will also contribute to a good future,
"Goku-sa please come back soon honey, I will be here waiting" Chi-Chi said out loud, a wind blew against her skin like she has been heard.
"If I could I would join you right now in the afterlife, but I still have things to do here, but when it's done I'll be there with you one day and I will never leave your side.

As she was making breakfast before Gohan wakes up for training, she felt pain in her stomach.
and it didnt stop, She felt the same painful sensation when she found out she was pregnant.
"Could it be?"
Trunks pov
Trunks traveled though the dark portals of the time stream, only a few hours left and he'll be back in a cold dark world he grew up in.
He had chills over his spine, he has been gone for so long,and can't imagine what people have went through hiding from a predator.
Thankfully Cell can't detect a Ki from a far so hopefully there are still survivors left if his plan to learn instant transmission fails. Before the Cell games started Goku took him to Yardrat and he had written down everything and on Earth he helped him progressing further, And now its the time to perfect it.
The timemachine beeped showing that they are almost there.
For Strength Trunks thought about his fallen friends knowing that they are with him
in spirit.
A broken world was seen as the first view, Hellish ruins was everywhere, Trunks got put storing the time machine safely in his pocked after getting his stuff out.
He placed his sword around his shoulder, and felt at peace,
There is no friend on Earth that cares about me more than you do Goku-san" Trunks mentioned.
"When all hope was lost you've done the most selfless act,you sacrificed yourself to clean up the mistakes of others
You unintentionally bring danger to the earth but yet you intentionally sacrifice your life to ensure it will be saved.
You were the Father and teacher I always needed, You were very strict but I never saw it as an inconvenience because thanks to you I've became the man I've been searching for,"
"I'll never forget you, and I know you will always watch over me from the heavens"
"My heart longed to stay in the past because I never experienced peace,it's better than I could ever imagine but I can't turn my back on the ones who are still in my world.
Cell..you will be stopped."

Trunks couldn't find Cell much to his frustration, all there was left was burning ashes in a hellish ruin with only clothing of his victims left behind.
He had to be patient, Cell will notice Trunkses return and won't miss out the chance to suck him dry,
Cell came from the shadows after making new victims, a dress slided off his tail feeling the cells changing in his body, so far there was no option to absorb android 18, He will never reach his complete form.
Now that Trunks is gone atleast he can fulfill his creators wish for world domination, As Cell strolled through the woods he had a gut feeling that he's on the right track, he hid when he heard the sound of slight nearing the forest,
It was Trunks flying up in the air towards his old home, Cells eyes lit up grimly like a predator observing his prey.
"You won't get away this time," Cell slithered and followed Trunks to where he's going.
Cell arrived at the scene and in the distance he noticed the timemachine unguarded.
This was his chance to get away, to reach perfection. Cell was thinking about hunting down Trunks first since the little runt can't be underestimated but chose to enter the timemachine, Cell will be back here soon to finish off anyone who can stand in his way to breed sorrow on Earth.
When Cell approached the Timemachine he sensed something coming his way a buster canon almost blew his head off but Cell dodged just in time.
Cell stared at Trunks as he lowered to the ground with an Aura that ferociously spread over the dry land.
"You're predictable as ever, you really think I didn't sensed you?" Trunks mocked.
"If you want to go to the past to kill Goku you will have to get through me first" Trunks said.
"I see, You've learned about me in a different timeline" You're stil going to die, You are no match for me" Cell mentioned, Trunks used to be frighten of this creature, but now he's nothing to him but slippery bastard.
"Oh yes I'm going to suck you dry" Cell mentioned as he showed his pointy tail.
"Nice, before you do that I want to know one thing, What do you want?" How did you get so powerful?" Trunks said, he doesn't know how Cell got stronger 3 days after their encounter.
"Dr Gero knew he'll have to deal with Goku one day so he made me, his androids were impulsive and needed a well programmed android to get the job done for world domination"
I absorbed Android 17, But since one of you destroyed 18 I will never reach my complete form, "
"Now step aside unless you want to end up like your friend Gohan" Cell said.
And Trunks felt a throbbing rage all over his body,
"You'll pay for what you did to him" Trunks snarled and send Cell flying far away from the survivors
Cell landed on the ground, he could tell Trunks has improved, "Well look at you, but you'll be in for a rude awakening if you think that puny power up will be enough.
A menaching smile creeped over Trunkses features and chuckled when he let his power rise to unmeasurable heights.
From that moment Cell realises he has been calling the kettle black.
"I'll kill you!" Cell said in disbelief and attacked Trunks dodged and Cell sensed a ki blast while Trunks effortless deflected it.
"No! I'm far too powerful to lose to a runt!" Cell claimed and attacked again but Trunks teleported from behind knocking him back to the ground with a kick to the face.
Cell used his tail to attack, but Trunks grabbed it and broke a piece of it off in fury before rotating cell sending him flying all the way up in the air.
"Enough of this! I've come too far to give up, I will leave to the past!" Cell roared as he charged up for a Kamehameha blast,
But Cells smirk faded as snow before the sun when a large deathball appeared from Trunkses palms as his arms were raised to the sky,
"This is for Gohan! Say hello to this" Trunkses blast consumed cell and vaporised from existence, "No I'm perfect" where the last words of cell before an explosion came.
Trunks lowered his arms from the sky and euphoria swiped over him,
"It's finally over"
The sun shined through the clouds warming up his skin, nightmares won't last forever, one day you wake up and it's al gone.
"Thank you, Goku, Gohan and all of my friends, thanks to you I made it this far"
He stared at the sky smiling imagining his friends watching over him as he faced Cell.

Trunks couldn't rest even though he made sure no android will ever surface again, he destroyed all of Gero's labs letting it burn to the ground but he needed to head to planet Namek, He can't feel free nor move on without his friends.
He's not going to remain alone here, and flies towards Korrins tower, he flies passed a destroyed city and could see large help signs from above, His heart aced for the people of Earth but promised them it will be over soon.

Trunks entered the HBTC with a note book with all the instructions inside. those were the instructions he needed to settle one last thing to change everything back before the apocalypse,
1 day has passed outside the chamber and Trunks came out with a determined look.
He left the note book on a table and walked towards the end of the lookout.
Trunks breathed out as he concentrated, he brought two fingers towards his forehead and his body disappeared from the Earth, On his way to make everything undone.
* Trunks went to Namek with instant transmision, to wish the dragonballs on Earth back,
then he wished all of his friends to life and the last wish was used to erease every victims memory except for the Z fighters.
Back on Earth Gohan and Trunks had a tearful reunion,They didn't want to let go of eachother for a moment,after all this years apart they are finally where they belong.
Together,and this time it will stay that way now that every Android is gone.And Gohan complimented him on his growth, he worried about Trunks in the afterlife but now he couldn't be more proud.Gohan was disheartened to hear about his Fathers demise but Trunks left him a timemachine when the kais set him free. Trunks assured Gohan Goku will return to them.
When Trunks went back to the past to tell everyone the good news Gohan had a good news to share with him too. Gohan will be a big brother,
Meeting Goten was wonderful, he remained quiet the whole time as Trunks held him.
Its a shame that Goten doesnt exist in his timeline, but still Trunks was glad that another small part of Goku lives on in this world.
As the Earth felt like Home again Gohan and Erasa moved in with eachother when Gohan proposed to her while Trunks became CEO of his mothers company Continiuing the legacy.
Erasa And Gohan insisted that Trunks moves in with them, at first he said no because he wants to give them space since they'll marry soon, but they didn't take no for an answer because Trunks is family to them, Touched by their words Trunks agreed and everything was like back in the day minus the danger. train, rest, and enjoy each others company to the fullest.

Gohan was restless when Trunks left to the past and counted the days for his return.but he worried for nothing as Trunks came back in one peace
But Danger is no stranger, soon the Z fighters will come together again to face a new threat. *
