The small powered up creature flew down towards the Son homestead as Towa and Mira prepared to depart. "Albeit a strange success, but a success nonetheless my dear. We changed history and not a single Time Patroller in sight!" Towa was pleased with herself, but Mira spoke up, "Unless history's natural flow included our supposed intervention, then the Patrol would not know of it in the first place." Towa stopped grinning and turned away, "that's why I left the juiced up little monster here, just to see if that's the case." Mira placed his hand on Towa and they disappeared; to another time, and another place.
In the forest below, Gohan woke up in a crater 3 times his body size, his stomach and back were sore from the punch, and presumably, the fall. He stared up at the sky, not seeing the strange people, or feeling their unsensable out of place energy. But he did feel that strange power coming from the direction of his home, just in time to hear a scream.
He attempted to run but stumbled. He didn't feel pain in his leg but he also couldn't properly stand on it, 'not a great sign.' Quickly he flew towards the house and jumped through the open doorway. Upon entering he was greeted with a sight he couldn't have imagined, a Cell Junior stood in the kitchen, one arm holding ChiChi by the shoulder, the other hand pressed up to her neck with its finger nails extended. When it noticed Gohan's arrival, it began laughing with a sickly, " hehehehehehehehe!"
Gohan stood in the entryway to the living room frozen. The last time a scenario like this had played out, he was powered up, and it had been Krillin's life in the balance, not his lover. This Cell Junior's eyes were completely red, and a dark aura surrounded it, he couldn't feel how strong it was, but the pressure being emmited... Somehow Gohan felt as if it was a strong as Cell had been, before he'd blown himself up.
Gohan carefully changed into a Super Saiyan, without the lightshow and took a step forward. Cell Junior made a dissaproving series of grunts and extended its nails slightly farther, piercing ChiChi's neck. She winced as blood trickled down her neck, and tears began to form in her eyes. Gohan couldn't stand it, he cried out, "please no! Kill me, kill me!!! Just don't hurt her!" As the words left his lips, the Cell Junior's smile returned and suddenly energy began expanding in both directions from its body. 2 duplicates of the Junior stood on either side of it both laughing as they stepped forward. 'It can use the multiform technuque?!' The 2 stepping forward cackled and performed the act again, and the newest set did the same. There were now 2 aisles of 3 standing on opposite sides of thr living room, and they began to motion for Gohan to walk forward, accompanied by a chorus of cackling.
'With how many copies there are, and if my math is right, each one is probably only as strong at the pudgy Android that fought Dad first. Which means-' Gohan's thoughts and stride were cut short when a death beam remniscent of Frieza struck him from behind, and then another, and then another. The 6 Juniors began firing a barrage of beams, pelting Gohan from all sides. None were strong enough to petrenate his skin, but each stung and left burn marks, as well as knocked him down while he attempted to crawl forward towards ChiChi.
ChiChi's ears were filled with Gohan's screams, she watched as the man she'd birthed, loved, and likely been impregnated by, writhed on the floor. She cried out and yelled for the original Junior to release her and began attempting to free herself; lashing out in an attempt to reach her son. The Junior, upset that she was ruining the show, and without thinking of the reprecussions, slit her throat. Her silence was immediately noticed by Gohan, who looked up in horror, and he exploded. In an instant his hair stood up and appeared to grow longer, he screamed in fury, and 6 energy blasts shot out from his golden aura. Each blast destoryed the Junior duplicates, so that only the original remained. It dropped ChiChi's limp body and tried to fly upwards. It never had a chance.
Gohan's hands latched around its neck and a ki based fire grew around it's body, slowly, painfully disintegrating it. The flames working their way over the body until only its head remained. Gohan let out a roar that echoed an Oozaru and let loose a blast from his mouth, annihilating the head, and blowing a hole through the kitchen and beyond.
He then bent down, scooped up ChiChi's body, and cried. "This can't be how it ends! Damn you! I won't let it!!!" He placed his hands on her neck and let his aura wrap around her wound, as he had previously, until it was healed. She still wasn't stirring, and Gohan felt no pulse. Panicking, he placed one hand on her chest and fired a pulse, trying to jumpstart her heart, and between pulses performed CPR. pushing on her chest and blowing air through her mouth. ChiChi violently shot up and began slapping Gohan, still dazed and thinking it was Cell Junior. Gohan almost laughed in relief and upon hearing him, ChiChi realized who it was and grasped onto him with all she had.
At this, Gohan returned the embrace and they squeezed one another as tightly as they each safely could. Tears were streaming down both their faces; they stayed like this for several minutes, not saying a word.
