Anyways, get that popcorn ready kids, this chapter's a doozy. O_o Here we go!!!
Every Minute Counts: Goten and Trunks, Save the World!!!
*TIME: 11:30*
Inside of the cage, Piccolo was concentrating on something. He suddenly smiled and exited his dormant state.
"The plan has been delivered," Piccolo said to Vegeta. Vegeta grinned. "Very good. Now we must wait, and our vengeance will begin."
All of the Z Warriors were standing alert now. The villains were oblivious to anything as they all used the Satan Mansion for there own desires. Every now and then, Goku glanced to a hallway next to the cage, a hallway that the bad guys could not see from where they were. Goku began to sweat as he waited patiently for it to happen. Finally, after what seemed like forever, two shadows began to emerge from the hallway.
"Here comes the cavalry..." Goku whispered. Vegeta nodded, but said nothing else. They continued to wait. Videl gulped nervously. *I hope he's alright in doing this...*
Suddenly, someone ran out from the hallway and bounded in front of the cage, facing the bad guys. Everyone turned their attention to the person, the villains in surprise, the heroes in expectance.
"TA DAH!!!!!!" It was none other than...Hercule! "Oh no! The tables have turned now! Ha ha ha..."
Frieza stared in confusion, then he got a closer look at Hercule. "Aaaahhh...mmm hm hm hm...you're Hercule Satan. Cell has said much about you."
"He said you're a lying dumbass who fakes stomach aches," Babidi said with a sneer. Hercule frowned and pointed a finger at all of them. "I'd say you're the dumbasses around here!"
Frieza growled. "What say you?!"
"You all couldn't destroy an injured hospital boy, much less a world champion like yours truly!"
"Injured hospi....oh ho, you're entering dangerous territory, dude," Recoome said. Hercule began laughing at him. "You're right! I'd better step away, because your territory stinks!" Hercule put his fingers to his nose to emphasize how stinky it was. "Phew! Nasty!"
The bad guys were really getting pissed now. Nappa crushed the cup filled with soda he was holding. "How dare he...lowly humans have no place to insult us elite!"
Hercule stuck his tongue out at his foes and gestured them to come forward. "Then don't let me insult you! Come and kill me, if you can even keep up with those stubby legs of yours! Try it, suckas!" With that, Hercule sped off to the front door.
By now, most of the enemy could barely contain himself. Babidi angrily got off the chair he sat in and pointed at the front door. "ATTACK THE LYING DUMBASS!!!"
"YEAAHH!!!!" All of the bad guys rushed towards the front door, which Hercule had already exited through. As Pui-Pui rushed by the cage, he stopped and looked at our heroes. "But Master Babidi, what of our prisoners?"
"They're not going anywhere!" Babidi yelled. "Come on now, to the attack!!!" Babidi ran as fast as his little legs could carry him to the front door, with a speeding Pui-Pui behind him. The Z Warriors watched with smiles on their faces as their enemies exited the front door one by one. Many of the demons and monsters that had entered the house went with them for no particular reason.
Videl watched in slight worry as the bad guys piled outside. She looked up at Gohan, who had his arm around her shoulder. "My father will be alright won't he?" Gohan gave her a reassuring smile. "Of course, we've went through the plan already!"
"Buu will free us from the cage, and then I will teleport us outside and rescue your dad. Then we'll take care of the rest smoothly," Goku explained once again. "And speaking of Buu, here he is!" Buu now stood outside the cage. "How you want Buu save you?"
"Anyway you want, just get us out," Piccolo stated. Buu shot his antennae forward. "TURN INTO CHOCOLATE!!!" With a poof, the cage turned into a chocolate cage. Gohan looked around on confusion. "Chocolate?! Thanks, but...I'm not really hungry."
"Quiet, brat. I get his point." Gohan glanced at Vegeta, who stood right in front of the cage. He powered up his energy. Slowly, the chocolate melted away, giving them a free passage out. Vegeta sarcastically waved his hands forward. "Ahhh..." Gohan said in realization.
"He turned the cage into chocolate so we could melt it with our energies, correct?" Vegeta asked with a smirk. Buu jumped up and down. "Yes, yes! Vegeta smart, oh so smart!"
As soon as everyone had exited the cage, Goku put a hand to his forehead. "Alright, time to save your father," Goku said to Videl.
"Woo hoo!! I'm not too late!" Goku paused in surprise and looked in the direction of the sudden outburst. It was Yamcha. He had gotten to the TV and turned it on to, surprisingly, Cartoon Network.
Vegeta's eyes had nearly lost their pupils as he continued to be peeved by Yamcha. "Well it seems MOST of us our sticking to the plan!!"
Yamcha shot back at Vegeta. "Hey, this is the last night of my life!! Just one episode before I die, one!!" Vegeta let out a long sigh as he leaned forward. The prince lightly flicked his hand to the side and fired an energy blast at the television. It blew into pieces. Yamcha stared in horror.
"NOOOO!!!! THAT WAS THE CLIMAX OF THE EPISODE!!!" Yamcha glared at Vegeta. "YOU'RE A MEANIE, VEGETA!!!" Vegeta clenched his fist as he glanced away from Yamcha. "Normally, I could let that be a good excuse...but we're not going to die, so no good..."
".....that TV was real expensive..." Videl said quietly as she glared daggers at Vegeta.
"Okay then! Let's get back to work!!" Goku said as he once again put his hand to his forehead. Everyone turned to him as he prepared to relocate outside.
"WA HA!!" A laugh filled the room suddenly. Everyone turned to its source: the hallway Hercule and Buu came from. But now Buu was over there. And not the good Buu...the other Buu. Fat Buu yelped.
"Ack! Bad Buu no knocked out!" Kid Buu snickered, implying that Hercule knocking him out was just ridiculous. *Faked it...this bad...*
"KKKKKYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"
Everyone covered their ears from the immense shriek Kid Buu let out. Goku wavered around as he held his ears shut. "Damn it, he's gonna blow our ploy!!!"
Outside, the villains held their ears in surprise. They had all backed Hercule onto the trunk of a tree. Hercule was also surprised.
"Buu!!" Babidi exclaimed. He spun around to look at the house. "This man is just a distraction!!!" Frieza yelled at Babidi, "Well then, take us back!"
"You needn't give it a second thought! Paparrapapa!!!" The bad guys disappeared in a flash, leaving a stunned Hercule to slump against the trunk of the tree. "Huh...I thought it was all over..." Hercule glanced up. He found some zombies staring at him. Hercule's eyes went wide as one poked at his shoulder.
"AAAAIIIIEEEEE!!!"
'SHMM'
Babidi's spell put all of them back inside the house. They stepped back in surprise to find that everyone was free. "I was right! They've escaped!!" Babidi exclaimed.
"But how?!" Radditz wondered. Then they all noticed Fat Buu, for the first time that night. "Of course! How could I forget that Buu!!" Babidi said. Frieza growled and stepped forward. "How dare you break free of our confines! This is not cool!"
"Ready guys?!" Goku yelled. No one answered, but he knew what answer he would've gotten.
"HAAAAAA!!!" Everyone yelled and charged at once. Even the female Z Warriors joined in; they all brandished a frying-pan-of-doom for their weapons, except 18. Frieza laughed. "Idiots!! You tried this before, and you lost stupidly! Do you expect to do differently?!"
Suddenly, Goku, Vegeta, and Krillin sprang to the side. Goku touched both of them and disappeared.
"What?! Where'd he go?!" Android 20 asked no one in particular. He was cut off by a hard punch from Gohan. "Hoooooo..." Gohan charged up and went Mystic. The bad guys charged at him. "HIYAH!" Gohan spread his arms out, knocking all of them back with an energy wave.
Nappa struggled to get up as he looked to the front door. "They're outside! We have to protect the energy sphere!" Just then, a frying pan whacked him on the head. It belonged to Chi-Chi. The Z-girls besides 18 ganged up on Nappa and Radditz and began whacking them repeatedly. The two Saiyans were brought to the floor in pain.
"Fine, I'll get outside!!" Frieza exclaimed as he blocked punches from a fierce Piccolo. Frieza sent a hard left kick to Piccolo's side. Piccolo was knocked into Gohan, who was currently fighting the majority of the villains. Gohan stumbled from the impact of his mentor, allowing Kid Buu to get an energy blast in on Gohan's face. "KAA!"
Gohan shut his eyes quick as the blast hit him. Dust covered Kid Buu's view of Gohan. He received a shock when Gohan burst out and punched him in the face. As Kid Buu twisted backwards, Gohan grabbed his antennae and slammed him into the ground with it.
"You're coming too!!" Frieza yelled as he grabbed the members of the Ginyu Force with his energy, barely saving them from a swift triple chop from Tien, Yamcha, and Choutzu. Miari Trunks saw this and ran after them.
"No one will escape today!!" he shouted as he drew his sword. The Ginyu Force began to wiggle around in fright as Miari Trunks approached.
"Paparrapapa!!!" Babidi shot a blast of magic at Miari Trunks. It hit his sword, making it change into a foam rubber sword. Not sure what to do, Miari Trunks slashed anyway when he reached the fleeing Frieza. The sword broke from the tough skin of the fighters.
"....." Frieza snickered. "You shouldn't play with sharp objects! You could put an eye out you know!!" With that, Frieza exited the house with the Ginyu Force. Babidi took the opportunity to charge Trunks, slamming the young teen in the gut.
"..." Trunks just stared at Babidi in confusion. He picked the tiny wizard up by the cape. "You're not very strong, are you?"
"Put me down this instant!!" Babidi demanded. Miari Trunks grinned. "No, I'd rather put you up." Miari Trunks spun Babidi around and threw him at the ceiling. He plowed through to the next floor, and Trunks flew up after him.
Elsewhere, Android 20 laughed evily as he chased a fleeing Oolong and Puar. He was soon running back scared the other way when the frying pan-wielding gals came at them, with a laughing Oolong and Puar behind the action. Ox King continuously stepped on Radditz's head, trying to look strong. Luckily, he was already out cold from the frying-pan bashing.
"Yee!!" Roshi yelped when he found Babidi's Majins charging him. The old man thought of a plan, and he found one. He turned around and grabbed the back of his pants.
"Huh?" The Majins stopped in surprise in front of Roshi. He had now lowered his pants.
'PPPPPFFFFFFTTTTT'
The Majins staggered back the way they came, all with disgusted faces. Roshi gave the screen a peace sign. Videl glared at him from the side.
Outside, Goku, Vegeta, and Krillin appeared in front of a surprised Hercule.
"What took you? I almost got killed!!" Hercule complained. Goku and Vegeta said nothing as they floated towards the top of the mansion. Krillin picked Hercule up and flew after them, saying flatly, "They can't kill anyone in their current state, you were fine."
The three Z Warriors, not counting Hercule, floated up to the negative energy sphere resting at the tip of the mansion. They came to a halt directly below it.
"How do you propose we get rid of this thing?" Vegeta asked Goku. Goku put a hand forward and carefully touched the sphere, feeling it around. "Hmm...seems stable..."
Goku turned back to the others. "Alright, we'll push it into space, then blow it up here." Krillin's eyes widened and he looked up. "We gotta push it all the way up there?! But we'll run outta air!!"
Goku snapped back at Krillin. "Do you wanna save the Earth or not? Let's get to work!"
"I guess you won't appreciate an early break then," the just-arrived Frieza said. The Ginyu Force posed around him to emphasize their arrival.
"Damn it, they were supposed to be kept inside!!" Vegeta exclaimed as he threw an energy blast at Frieza. Frieza let the blast hit him full force. Vegeta grinned at the smoking dust cloud, until a speeding flash flew out and hit Vegeta. Frieza grabbed the stunned Vegeta and threw him onto Goku and Krillin, knocking them over like bowling pins. Hercule was dropped by Krillin accidently during the ruckus. He crashed into the roof and just laid there, stunned.
"Looky looky. I found a stray," Reccome chuckled as he picked up Hercule. He threw the champion into the front yard right into the mass of monsters. "Tear him to pieces!" Recoome ordered to the demons.
"Hold on!" Krillin yelled as he flew down to Hercule. The bald warrior was intercepted by super-fast Burter, receiving a surprise kick from below. Krillin recovered instantly and began grappling with Burter. Meanwhile, Hercule was actually beating up the zombies as they tried to attack him.
Once again, inside the mansion, the Z-gals' frying-pan rampage was ended when a horde of demons piled on top of them. Gohan saw this and ran to help them, but he was suddenly tripped by an unseen force.
"What the?" Kid Buu's foot appeared under him. It seeped out from the crack in the floor, bringing the rest of Kid Buu with it. Now that he was under the demi-saiyan, he shot his arm up, bringing Gohan with it. Gohan was slammed into the ceiling, and he kept on going til he hit the highest ceiling in the mansion.
"Kaa..." Kid Buu muttered as he brought the rest of his body up to his stretched-out arm. When he became level with Gohan, he gave the boy a hard right. Gohan was thrown into a dresser. The dresser opened and a pile of clothes were strewn onto Gohan. He had to restrain himself from yelping when he discovered they were all women's underwear. He blushed furiously upon realizing that he was in Videl's room. This was short-lived however, as Kid Buu kicked him out into the hallway.
"Stop moving around!" Piccolo yelled as he tried to hit a dodging Pui-Pui. Pui-Pui grinned and glanced to the side. He moved backwards suddenly, leaving Piccolo to wonder why. A streak of light swiftly slashed through Piccolo's center. Yakon laughed off to the side as he brought his claw back. Piccolo was split into two halves.
"Now I will eat you!!" Yakon said as he grabbed Piccolo's top half. Piccolo smirked, and he quickly regenerated his bottom half. In their current position, Piccolo's feet hit Yakon square in the face as they regenerated out of Piccolo. This gave Piccolo time to bash Yakon in the face with an elbow. Pui-Pui charged at Piccolo, but the Namek flew into the air. Pui-Pui stumbled when he missed and rammed into Yakon.
Elsewhere, King Cold was charging after Fat Buu, who was casually flying away backwards. The good Buu forgot where he was going though, and he plowed right through the walls of the house. King Cold went right after him still. Unfortunately for him, he was not the only chaser. Android 18 swiped at King Cold's back, knocking him on his chest.
"Yamcha!! Help meeee!!" Puar pleaded as she was lifted into the air by Dodoria. The pink, lard-gut opened his mouth, as if to eat Puar. Puar wriggled around furiously.
"I'm coming, Puar!!" Yamcha exclaimed as he flew to the scene. He punched Dodoria in the head, but it didn't phase him one bit. Dodoria scowled. "Zarbon, could you defeat this guy for me? I'm tryin' to have lunch here!"
Without a word, Zarbon in his monster form walked forward and slapped Yamcha in the face. Yamcha growled. "Asshole.." He then leaped at Zarbon with a punch. Zarbon swiftly blocked with his palm as Yamcha flew past slowly. Zarbon enclosed his palm around Yamcha's own fist, taking control. He tossed Yamcha into the back confines of the house.
Dodoria laughed and prepared to "eat" Puar. Puar yelped and quickly changed into something as she was placed in Dodoria's mouth. Dodoria smiled in satisfactory as first, but he was suddenly in pain when something big and spiky puffed up in his mouth. "GLACK!!!" Dodoria hacked up Puar, who had changed into a puffer fish. She changed back to her cat form and shook Dodoria's saliva off herself. Just then, Chotuzu ran by and grabbed Puar out of harm's way.
"Hey! My lunch!" Dodoria yelled at Choutzu. But he soon had bigger worries when he noticed Tien facing him in the Tri-Beam position. "TRI-BEAM, HA!"
"YEEK!" Dodoria had no time to put up a defense as he was hit. Everyone turned their attention in surprise to the sudden attack. The Tri-Beam plowed past Dodoria and into the wall. It burst through the wall with ease and flew off safely across the horizon.
"Stupid! He'll kill everyone!" Piccolo exclaimed in frustration as the scene became clear. Dodoria's clothes were ripped to shreds and he was very very cut and bruised. "YOU FOOL! YOU'RE RUINED MY CHARMING GOOD LOOKS!!!"
Tien smirked. "Funny, I thought you were just ugly." Dodoria shook his fist at Tien. "I'LL KILL YOU!!!"
"Wow...I wonder where they all went to," Krillin said to himself as he noticed for the first time that there were no demons or monsters in the distance. "Have they really all gathered here?..." Krillin was interrupted by Burter's fist, which he quickly ducked under.
At the roof, Goku and Vegeta were busy fighting with Frieza. The rest of the Ginyu Force cheered him on from below. "Frieza! Frieza! He's our ma..." The Force paused in confusion.
"Man?...woman?..." Jeice wondered. Frieza scowled at them. "Oh, you're a big help!!" he yelled as he blocked Goku from advancing with his foot.
'VSH'
Somewhere in Satan City, Cell reappeared with the unconscious Hiei and Kurama. Immediately, his senses detected a battle in progress.
*What is that? There should be no fighting here....unless...*
Cell quickly flew towards Satan Mansion at his top speed. He came screeching to a halt in front of Goku, Vegeta, Frieza, and the Ginyu Force. The group was surprised by his appearance.
"C-Cell...you're b-back..." Frieza said nervously. Cell gritted his teeth angrily. "I knew it...I never should have trusted you all with these idiots!!!"
"B-but sir, they played a dirty trick on us..." Recoome said solemnly. Cell raised an eyebrow. "What trick is that? I'll bet it was a real STUPID one."
Burter, who was the closest to Hercule, pointed at the world champion. "That freak insulted us...he was so mean, he was...and the.."
"NAAAANNIIII?!" Cell screamed in confusion and anger. "YOU FELL FOR A TRAP SET BY THAT LYING DUMBASS, HERCULE????!!!!!"
Frieza and the Ginyu Force now appeared as tiny midgets before a giant, furious Cell. Flames flew up behind him like an inferno. "IF I HAD KNOWN YOU WERE ALL THIS STUPID, I WOULD HAVE COME BY MYSELF AND LEFT YOU IN OTHERWORLD FROM THE START!!!"
Frieza and the Force whimpered in fear as they pleaded Cell's forgiveness. Goku and the others were at a loss for words. Just then, Gohan and Miari Trunks came crashing through the roof. Kid Buu and Babidi eagerly jumped up after them from below. In the blink of an eye, Cell was behind them, and he kicked them in their sides.
"Wak!" Babidi twitched when he saw Cell. "H-hey Cell...you got those demons?" Cell smirked. "Yes...I do...but you know what you've got?"
Babidi backed away nervously. "N-no..."
"A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO!!" Cell screamed in Babidi's ear. Meanwhile Miari Trunks and Gohan had straightened out, and then floated to the others. "Cell's back?" Gohan asked.
Goku nodded. "Yeah, and he's got two demons with him...oh man, they're so close..." Vegeta spit onto the roof and disgust. "Now there's no way we'll finish my plan..."
Cell sighed slowly to let some of his anger out. "It can't be helped, I suppose...either way, they still can't stop our plan from being carried out."
Cell glared at Frieza and the Ginyu Force again. "Though, considering where we are right now, they COULD HAVE stopped it. All because of YOU five!" Frieza and the Force shrunk down in fear.
Finally, Cell stopped his frowns, as he smiled down at the Z Warriors. "What a night it his been..." Goku shuddered. "Darn it..."
"It looks like we're going to have our way after all," Cell said with a wide grin. He held up the two youkais in his possession. "With these two, our dream becomes reality..."
"Darn it!!!" Goku said once more. He looked at the ground in defeat. "That's it...now they have won...it's over..." Gohan looked at his father with concern. "There's no one left to help....but if they can do anything at all..." Then Gohan thought to himself, *Goten and Trunks! Where are you?*
"Alright, so let me get this straight..." Yusuke pondered as he thought on everything Goten and Trunks had told them. ".....you have absolutely no idea what's going on."
"Right," the boys said.
"Good, at least I'm not alone," Yusuke simply said. Kuwabara sat on the ground behind the three, feeling out of place and confused. By this time, Goten and Trunks had taken off their Halloween costumes, realizing how unimportant they were in the current situation. Their normal clothes were under them.
"You don't like, need our help or anything, do you?" Yusuke asked in a slight annoyed tone. "I don't know. We don't exactly know what we're up against, but help is always good," Goten said.
Yusuke put his hand to his chin as he thought. "Will...there be more demons where you're going?" The boys raised their eyes slightly. "Well yeah, of course there will," Trunks stated.
Yusuke grinned when he heard this. "Then you can count me in. If all the big strong demons are gathering...then Toguro is bound to be there, and I need to kick his ass from earlier!!"
At this, Kuwabara leaped at Yusuke and clamped his mouth shut. "Baka, don't use such language around children!"
"I'll use what ever damn language I want, pisshead!" Yusuke exclaimed. Kuwabara jumped to his feet and clenched his fist. "Why you little..."
"Nah, it's alright," Trunks said. Yusuke looked at him in surprise. "You mean...you don't need us to come with you?"
Goten shook his head. "No no, not that. We mean you can say bad words if you want," Goten said, then he pointed at Trunks. "Saying bad words is practically on his dad's "things to do list"." Trunks simply nodded.
Yusuke gave Kuwabara an annoying grin and laughed. "Ha, I like these little guys! They favor me, pisshead!" Kuwabara just cursed silently. Yusuke turned back to the kids. "As I said, you can count us in. I suppose it's our duty to rescue Hiei and Kurama anyway..."
Goten smiled and walked in front of Yusuke. "Alright, take my hand," he said as he put his hand out to Yusuke. Yusuke stared in confusion. "Um...no offense kid, but there's no use trying to look cute. No one's around to see you..."
"No, I have to carry you."
Yusuke raised an eyebrow at Goten. "Reeeaaallllyyy...hey, did'ja hear that, Kuwabara? He's gonna "carry me"!" Yusuke said sarcastically. Just then, Goten grabbed Yusuke and floated up into the air. Yusuke looked down in shock.
"W-whaddaya know?...he's carryin' me...." Goten waved a hand at Trunks. "Hurry up, Trunks! There's not that much time!"
"Just give me your hand, guy," Trunks said to Kuwabara. Kuwabara sheepishly put his hand forward. Trunks grabbed it and flew into the air, much faster than Goten did. Kuwabara screamed as he flailed around wildly. "AAAHHH!! I'M FLOATING! DON'T DROP ME!! PLEASE DON'T!!!"
"I will if you keep struggling like that!!!" Trunks yelled. Kuwabara immediately stopped struggling. The two demi-saiyans turned and blasted off towards Satan City with their new cargo.
"Hey, slow down!! I wanna fly first-class for this trip!"
"SHADDUP, KUWABARA!!!"
*TIME: 11:50*
Cell and the rest of the villains stood inside the house. Each and every one of them had evil grins plastered on their faces. On the other side of the room stood the Z Warriors. Actually, there wasn't much of a room left. The house was nearly demolished on the inside from the previous scramble. The random demons and monsters all were piling upon the house, trying to see into the event.
"It hurts me...it really does..." Cell said softly. "...that you'll have to go so quickly. I wish I'd have gotten to cause you much more pain..."
"But unfortunately, we have not much time left," Frieza cut in. "It's time to complete the process...and you get front row seats."
Babidi, who had been smiling the whole time, suddenly frowned. "What's wrong?" he asked. "Why do you not try to stop us?" Babidi then chuckled. "Oh I get it, you've realized how pathetic and useless you are."
Another new thing about the room was that the negative energy ball now floated in the room behind the bad guys. Its light caused a cold, purple haze around the mansion. Below the ball, two tables sat on the floor. Two figures were strapped onto them.
"Oh well...let's get this show on the road then!" Babidi said as he turned around. He gestured towards the two tables. "As you can see here, the demons are cleanly in place on their, "sacrificial tables". Now we have to extract their demon energy from them, and transfer it into our "doomsday" ball. Quite clever, don't you think?"
"Father..." Gohan said as he looked at his father. "Isn't there anything we can do now?..." Goku turned solemnly to his son.
*I wish I could tell him there was...but that would be a lie...*
Without him saying a word, Gohan knew what the answer would be. Videl, who was next to Gohan, looked up at him in sorrow. "Gohan....I'm sorry..."
"Sorry for what?" Gohan asked. Videl bit her bottom lip. "If I had known this would be our last night on Earth, I wouldn't have been so rough on you about the boys..."
Gohan gave Videl a light smile. "You didn't know...no one knew...it's no one's fault...this is just how things have to be..." he said as he draped an arm around her shoulder. Upon seeing this scene of sadness, Chi-Chi just burst out crying, and Goku tried to calm her down. Not helping the mood, the villains showed no sympathy from this.
"Damn it...where am I?..." an awakening Hiei said. He couldn't believe that once again he had been knocked out, then find himself bound by a strong force. This time, Kurama was awake as well.
"We appear to have been taken captive..." Kurama said, as if it were routine. Hiei would have fallen over, but he was not in a position to do so. "I can see that, but WHERE are we?"
Kurama glanced around to as much as he could see. He finally recognized one face. "Hiei, I see that Gohan boy out there."
"Gohan? The one who supplied Goten and Trunks?" Hiei asked.
"Yes, that's him. Gohan!!!" Kurama yelled out. Gohan perked up in surprise. He looked over at the tables, realizing who it was for the first time. "Wait...the demons are Kurama and Hiei?!"
"Gohan, what's going on here?!" Kurama asked. Gohan was now confused. Krillin leaned over and nudged Gohan. "These some friends of yours?"
"I'm not sure myself..." a flabbergasted Gohan said. "How did those two get mixed up in this?....hold on...hey! Where are the boys?!"
"Out THERE somewhere!" Hiei shouted. "Those two excel at getting into trouble!! Let's just say we're not signing up for chaperoning next year!!"
"AHA!!!!" Videl said as she pointed at Gohan accusingly. Gohan was beyond confusion right now. "Hey, what happened to, "I wouldn't have given you such a hard time"?"
Videl smirked evily at Gohan. "Pipe down...like getting punished even matters when you're about to die forever."
"Oh really?" a grinning Chi-Chi said. "Well THIS boy can expect some heavy chores to do when we get to Otherworld!!" Gohan growled as Videl giggled. Vegeta yelled at them, "YOU'RE NOT HELPING!"
"Stop stalling!" Cell ordered. "You're only lengthening the inevitable." Cell spun around and pointed at Babidi. "Begin your magic, so we can begin our residence on Earth!!"
"Yessir!" Babidi said. He turned towards the negative energy ball and threw his arms forward. "PAPARRAPAPA!!!"
'ZRRGT!'
Two bolts of energy creaked out of the ball as the house started to shake from the force of the energy. The bolts slithered towards Hiei and Kurama on their tables.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT???!!!" a panicking Hiei screamed.
Finally, the bolts hit the two youkais. They screamed in pain as the dark energy began to flow through their bodies. The Z Warriors watched in horror.
"They'll be killed!" Goku exclaimed. "And yet there's nothing we can do about it..."
Babidi sneered. "Very good, Goku. And you only have a couple minutes if you want to try anyway, just in case. In a few minutes, all of their youkai energy will have been transferred into the ball!"
Just then, all of the Z Warriors glanced to the side. "SOMEONE'S COMING!!" they all yelled at once. "Huh?" Cell looked to the side in confusion.
"But who's left?! We're all here!!" Bulma exclaimed. Gohan's eyes widened. "No! We're not!!"
Four figures slammed into the house at that moment. Two were being carried by the other two. They landed on the ground, directly between the two groups.
".......Goten.....Trunks.....you made it....." a shocked Gohan stuttered out. Trunks glanced at Gohan. "Yeah...looks like we missed the party, though."
"Hiei! Kurama!" Yusuke exclaimed when he saw his friends being fried to death. "W-what's happening to them?!" Kuwabara wondered. He received no answer.
"Look who finally decided to show up..." Cell said with a smirk. "I was wondering how long it would take you to get here."
Goten and Trunks turned to face the bad guys. Without so much as a word, they spread themselves three feet apart, and went into the Fusion pose.
"What, no! That won't help!" Goku yelled. But the two had already begun.
"Fuuuuu...sion! HA!" A bright light formed, and SSJ3 Gotenks emerged. Gotenks looked at the gang of bad guys and smirked. "Wow, looks like I've hit the jackpot. Everyone's here."
"Gotenks, that was a waste of energy! They can't be killed, they're the living dead!" Goku yelled.
"Well that makes things interesting..." Gotenks said without looking at Goku. "What's happening to Hiei and Kurama? How can we stop it?"
"Their demon energy is being sucked out of them for that big energy ball!" Goku explained. "If there was a way to direct pure energy into the ball, it could block out the demon energy, but there's no way to do that without destroying the ball and killing everyone!"
"Feh...even if there was a way, you won't have the time to figure it out..." Babidi said. "Only two minutes left..."
"Is that so?..." Gotenks said calmly. He glanced at Yusuke. "Hey, guy, do you and your friends happen to have a...um...thing that can conduct energy? I know my friends don't..."
"Umm...Kurama is good at handling plants! I'm sure one of his plants could conduct energy into a substance!" Yusuke said. Gotenks nodded. "Alright...."
Gotenks cupped his hands to his mouth and called out, "Kurama, could you hear that?! We need you to produce TWO plants that we can use to conduct pure energy into that big ball! Can you do that?!"
There was no answer. Gotenks waited patiently. The Z Warriors and the bad guys watched in earnest, wondering what would happen.
"...Maybe he's already been killed..." Kuwabara said sadly. Yusuke sighed, but Gotenks continued to wait. Suddenly, he saw a shaky hand rise up from one of the tables within the energy bolt. It held two little seeds in its hand.
"Hn...he's coming through," Gotenks said with a smirk. Yusuke and Kuwabara looked back in surprise. The hand tossed one seed onto the ball at the point where the bolt of energy flowed out. He threw the other to the same point on Hiei's side. The two seeds suddenly sprouted into two large plants.
"Yes!" Yusuke exclaimed. Each of the plants had the bud of a flower pointing outward. Gotenks grinned. "There's my entryway," the fusion said as he charged his energy.
"HO!" he exclaimed as he sent two concentrated waves of energy outward. One went for each plant. Cell raised his eyebrows in suspicion. The Z Warriors all leaned forward in excitement. "Yes. Yes!! YES!!!"
The energy waves entered the plants' "mouths". From there, it began to suck itself into the negative energy ball. As this happened, the energy bolts began to quiver as if being disturbed.
"Wha?! What's this?!" Frieza exclaimed. Suddenly, the noticeable flow of youkai energy into the ball stopped. With a quick snap, the energy bolts broke off the ball. They fell to the floor and dissipated. Babidi watched in shock as a weary Hiei and Kurama stood up from their tables. The energy bolts had broken their binds off.
"I-It st-st-stopped.....the t-transfer stopped..." Babidi stuttered. Hiei and Kurama staggered over to Gotenks, Yusuke, and Kuwabara. "I see you couldn't be left out, Yusuke," Kurama said with a chuckle.
"Try not to talk, you're hurt bad," Yusuke suggested. Gotenks smiled at Kurama. "I knew you could pull in for us, Kurama."
"Of course, but explain to me...what happened to Goten and Trunks?..."
"Heh heh...I AM Goten and Trunks...I'm GOTENKS!" Gotenks said proudly. The Rekai Tantei stared in confusion. Hiei leaned over and whispered to Yusuke, "I've learned just to not ask questions."
Meanwhile, the rest of the Z Warriors were dancing around like they had won the Worlds Series. "WE DID IT, WE DID IT, WE DID IT, WE DID IT!!!"
"It was an unexpectedly easy win, but hey, it works for me!" Vegeta exclaimed. He gave Goku a high-five, which very much surprised Gohan. Gotenks smirked. "Heh, you guys need me for EVERYTHING, don't you?"
"Thanks guys, you've proved me wrong for once. There is a way to solve anything, and we found the solution!" Goku said with pride. He was relieved and relaxed for the first time that night.
"...heh heh heh...ha ha ha ha...hah hah! A HA HA HA HA HA!!!"
Cell began to laugh insanely. Everyone turned to him in surprise. Frieza walked up to him nervously. "B-but sir, we've lost..."
Cell smirked at Frieza. "Are you that blind, man? Check that ball, my friends! It's preparing!!"
Everyone turned their attention to the energy ball. It was quivering. "I can feel energy flowing from it slowly!" Gotenks exclaimed. "But how? I stopped it for sure!"
Gotenks jumped closer to the energy ball and looked at it. Cell taunted the boy. "Feh, your efforts were for nothing. Had you even been able to stop it after ONE shot of youkai energy entered the ball, you would have lost still!"
"Explain, now!" Goku ordered.
"I shall! Did you really think that little trick would direct ALL of the youkai energy out of the ball? It was very clever, but without guarantee," Cell said as he glanced at the energy ball. "You see, once the energy entered the ball, it fused with the current energy of the ball. Your trick only affected free energy, and some of that energy had become PERMANENT. We never needed the entire energy of two youkais, just a little from each! The only thing that's different about having less energy is that it slows down the transferal of the spell, MAKING YOUR FATE MUCH MORE SLOW AND PAINFUL!!!"
The Z Warriors were left speechless. Cell, who had an insane grin on his face, lifted a finger into the air. "But wait! That's not all!! Take a look! Your pure energy has agitated the evil energy in our ball!"
"What does that mean?" Gotenks asked. Cell grinned wider. "What do you think?! It's going to release its energy early, without us making it! Your fate will awaken in a matter of moments!"
The villains spirits were lifted from this. Babidi smiled in earnest at Cell. "How could I have forgotten all that! Oh, I'm such an idiot!" Cell sneered. "Yes you are...now, prepare my friends! We are moving in tonight!"
"NO!" Gohan yelled. "WE HAD IT!!" As he said this, a wave of energy began to flow out of the ball. The Z Warriors struggled to hold their ground from the extreme force. Cell's eyes glowed an evil red as he exclaimed, "THIS IS JUST THE APPETIZER! IN A FEW MOMENTS, YOUR DEATH WILL COME!!!!! FAREWELL!!!!!!"
The villains began laughing evily. Gotenks put his arms to his face as the energy ball began to glow. "Augh...here it comes!!!"
'BONG! BONG! BONG!'
Everything went dead silent. The bong of a clock was heard ringing from down the hall. One, two, three...no, twelve times in all. Cell stared in surprise.
"W-what was t-that?...the clock chiming on the hou...no...it couldn't be..." he whispered in disbelief. Cell spun around to the clock sitting in their location. Its time read as 11:57.
"Was that...the sounding of midnight?..." Bulma wondered.
Frieza pointed at the clock Cell was looking at in shock. "B-but we st- still have 3 minutes!...
Suddenly, a faint laugh came from the Z Warriors. It was, surprisingly, Hercule. "Oh yeah...that's right..."
"Hercule?...you know how that happened?!" Vegeta asked. Hercule nodded. "Yes...that clock right there...it's 3 minutes slow. I've been meaning to get it fixed."
Dead silence filled the room again. Cell's mouth opened wide. "N-no...we can't lose..."
Slowly, the rumbling of the energy ball's force became larger. The room began to glow with a white light as the energy ball began to warp around. Large winds flew around the room as everyone was thrown into a fit of confusion.
"WHAT'S HAPPENING?!!! MY ENERGY BALL!!!!" Babidi exclaimed. Suddenly, a zombie that was standing near Babidi screamed in pain. The zombie disintegrated into a billion pieces. Babidi watched in shock as the pieces floated into the spinning white void warped from the energy ball.
"THEY'RE DYING...AGAIN!!!" Miari Trunks exclaimed. All around them, the zombies and monsters disintegrated and were pulled into the void. All the time the bright light got brighter and more intense.
"WAAAAAHHHH!!!!" Jeice yelled out as he body began to warp around him. Him and the rest of the Ginyu Force were warped into the void, and they disappeared with a flash. Next, Babidi's Majins fell victim to the intense whiteness.
"MOMMMMYYYY!!!" Radditz whined as he and Nappa were sucked up into emptiness. Android 20 and the rest of Frieza's henchmen clawed at the furniture, but they soon became prey to the void.
"EVERYONE, STAY TOGETHER!!" Goku shouted as he tried to pry himself to the floor. It was hard to stand straight because of the intense winds. Gohan watched in shock as the final four villains, Cell, Frieza, Babidi, and Kid Buu, struggled to run from the void.
"YOU WON'T BEAT ME! I'M THE WINNER! I'M THE WINNNNNNEEEEERRRRR!!!!" Cell shouted at the top of his lungs. As he finished, the four of them lost their footing and were pulled into the void. They screamed as they disappeared into the white light, which was now nearly blinding. The light began to cover up everyone's sight of anything as it came to a deafening climax.
"GOTEN, TRUNKS!!!!" Hiei exclaimed as he charged forward to Gotenks, who was deadly close to the bright void. He was soon not visible to the naked eye, and after a moment, nothing was. Everything fell prey to the white light. Gotenks felt himself going stiff. He fell to the ground and saw no more.
*TIME: UNKNOWN*
"...........AH!"
Goten and Trunks sat up with a start. They glanced around the room. The Z Warriors were all sprawled on the floor, fast asleep. The boys looked at each other.
"....D-did you happen to have a dream about monsters and demons and Cell and a big white light?" Goten asked nervously.
"Y-yeah...and a whole lot more..." Trunks said.
"D-did it r-really happen?...was it a dream?...did we really almost die forever?..." Trunks asked quietly to no one in particular. He noticed that Videl's house was fine. There we no damages to it. You'd have never thought anyone was there.
"I don't know..." Goten whispered. "It could have been....but it looks like nothing happened..." Trunks scratched his chin and asked more questions. "Could we have just gone to the party like we had planned?...did we all pass out from partying to hard?....did we never even have the idea to trick- or-treat at all?..."
Trunks went to stand up, but he found a weight holding him down. He glanced down, and found Hiei's arm wrapped around his waist. At the end of it, was Hiei, lying asleep on the floor.
Goten looked at this, and he slowly smiled. "Wow...."
"He tried to save Gotenks...how nice..." Trunks said softly. The demi- saiyan smiled and fell backwards, diving back into a deep sleep. Goten followed suit. The two boys rested once again, waiting for the new morning to arrive.

Anyways, get that popcorn ready kids, this chapter's a doozy. O_o Here we go!!!
Every Minute Counts: Goten and Trunks, Save the World!!!
*TIME: 11:30*
Inside of the cage, Piccolo was concentrating on something. He suddenly smiled and exited his dormant state.
"The plan has been delivered," Piccolo said to Vegeta. Vegeta grinned. "Very good. Now we must wait, and our vengeance will begin."
All of the Z Warriors were standing alert now. The villains were oblivious to anything as they all used the Satan Mansion for there own desires. Every now and then, Goku glanced to a hallway next to the cage, a hallway that the bad guys could not see from where they were. Goku began to sweat as he waited patiently for it to happen. Finally, after what seemed like forever, two shadows began to emerge from the hallway.
"Here comes the cavalry..." Goku whispered. Vegeta nodded, but said nothing else. They continued to wait. Videl gulped nervously. *I hope he's alright in doing this...*
Suddenly, someone ran out from the hallway and bounded in front of the cage, facing the bad guys. Everyone turned their attention to the person, the villains in surprise, the heroes in expectance.
"TA DAH!!!!!!" It was none other than...Hercule! "Oh no! The tables have turned now! Ha ha ha..."
Frieza stared in confusion, then he got a closer look at Hercule. "Aaaahhh...mmm hm hm hm...you're Hercule Satan. Cell has said much about you."
"He said you're a lying dumbass who fakes stomach aches," Babidi said with a sneer. Hercule frowned and pointed a finger at all of them. "I'd say you're the dumbasses around here!"
Frieza growled. "What say you?!"
"You all couldn't destroy an injured hospital boy, much less a world champion like yours truly!"
"Injured hospi....oh ho, you're entering dangerous territory, dude," Recoome said. Hercule began laughing at him. "You're right! I'd better step away, because your territory stinks!" Hercule put his fingers to his nose to emphasize how stinky it was. "Phew! Nasty!"
The bad guys were really getting pissed now. Nappa crushed the cup filled with soda he was holding. "How dare he...lowly humans have no place to insult us elite!"
Hercule stuck his tongue out at his foes and gestured them to come forward. "Then don't let me insult you! Come and kill me, if you can even keep up with those stubby legs of yours! Try it, suckas!" With that, Hercule sped off to the front door.
By now, most of the enemy could barely contain himself. Babidi angrily got off the chair he sat in and pointed at the front door. "ATTACK THE LYING DUMBASS!!!"
"YEAAHH!!!!" All of the bad guys rushed towards the front door, which Hercule had already exited through. As Pui-Pui rushed by the cage, he stopped and looked at our heroes. "But Master Babidi, what of our prisoners?"
"They're not going anywhere!" Babidi yelled. "Come on now, to the attack!!!" Babidi ran as fast as his little legs could carry him to the front door, with a speeding Pui-Pui behind him. The Z Warriors watched with smiles on their faces as their enemies exited the front door one by one. Many of the demons and monsters that had entered the house went with them for no particular reason.
Videl watched in slight worry as the bad guys piled outside. She looked up at Gohan, who had his arm around her shoulder. "My father will be alright won't he?" Gohan gave her a reassuring smile. "Of course, we've went through the plan already!"
"Buu will free us from the cage, and then I will teleport us outside and rescue your dad. Then we'll take care of the rest smoothly," Goku explained once again. "And speaking of Buu, here he is!" Buu now stood outside the cage. "How you want Buu save you?"
"Anyway you want, just get us out," Piccolo stated. Buu shot his antennae forward. "TURN INTO CHOCOLATE!!!" With a poof, the cage turned into a chocolate cage. Gohan looked around on confusion. "Chocolate?! Thanks, but...I'm not really hungry."
"Quiet, brat. I get his point." Gohan glanced at Vegeta, who stood right in front of the cage. He powered up his energy. Slowly, the chocolate melted away, giving them a free passage out. Vegeta sarcastically waved his hands forward. "Ahhh..." Gohan said in realization.
"He turned the cage into chocolate so we could melt it with our energies, correct?" Vegeta asked with a smirk. Buu jumped up and down. "Yes, yes! Vegeta smart, oh so smart!"
As soon as everyone had exited the cage, Goku put a hand to his forehead. "Alright, time to save your father," Goku said to Videl.
"Woo hoo!! I'm not too late!" Goku paused in surprise and looked in the direction of the sudden outburst. It was Yamcha. He had gotten to the TV and turned it on to, surprisingly, Cartoon Network.
Vegeta's eyes had nearly lost their pupils as he continued to be peeved by Yamcha. "Well it seems MOST of us our sticking to the plan!!"
Yamcha shot back at Vegeta. "Hey, this is the last night of my life!! Just one episode before I die, one!!" Vegeta let out a long sigh as he leaned forward. The prince lightly flicked his hand to the side and fired an energy blast at the television. It blew into pieces. Yamcha stared in horror.
"NOOOO!!!! THAT WAS THE CLIMAX OF THE EPISODE!!!" Yamcha glared at Vegeta. "YOU'RE A MEANIE, VEGETA!!!" Vegeta clenched his fist as he glanced away from Yamcha. "Normally, I could let that be a good excuse...but we're not going to die, so no good..."
".....that TV was real expensive..." Videl said quietly as she glared daggers at Vegeta.
"Okay then! Let's get back to work!!" Goku said as he once again put his hand to his forehead. Everyone turned to him as he prepared to relocate outside.
"WA HA!!" A laugh filled the room suddenly. Everyone turned to its source: the hallway Hercule and Buu came from. But now Buu was over there. And not the good Buu...the other Buu. Fat Buu yelped.
"Ack! Bad Buu no knocked out!" Kid Buu snickered, implying that Hercule knocking him out was just ridiculous. *Faked it...this bad...*
"KKKKKYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"
Everyone covered their ears from the immense shriek Kid Buu let out. Goku wavered around as he held his ears shut. "Damn it, he's gonna blow our ploy!!!"
Outside, the villains held their ears in surprise. They had all backed Hercule onto the trunk of a tree. Hercule was also surprised.
"Buu!!" Babidi exclaimed. He spun around to look at the house. "This man is just a distraction!!!" Frieza yelled at Babidi, "Well then, take us back!"
"You needn't give it a second thought! Paparrapapa!!!" The bad guys disappeared in a flash, leaving a stunned Hercule to slump against the trunk of the tree. "Huh...I thought it was all over..." Hercule glanced up. He found some zombies staring at him. Hercule's eyes went wide as one poked at his shoulder.
"AAAAIIIIEEEEE!!!"
'SHMM'
Babidi's spell put all of them back inside the house. They stepped back in surprise to find that everyone was free. "I was right! They've escaped!!" Babidi exclaimed.
"But how?!" Radditz wondered. Then they all noticed Fat Buu, for the first time that night. "Of course! How could I forget that Buu!!" Babidi said. Frieza growled and stepped forward. "How dare you break free of our confines! This is not cool!"
"Ready guys?!" Goku yelled. No one answered, but he knew what answer he would've gotten.
"HAAAAAA!!!" Everyone yelled and charged at once. Even the female Z Warriors joined in; they all brandished a frying-pan-of-doom for their weapons, except 18. Frieza laughed. "Idiots!! You tried this before, and you lost stupidly! Do you expect to do differently?!"
Suddenly, Goku, Vegeta, and Krillin sprang to the side. Goku touched both of them and disappeared.
"What?! Where'd he go?!" Android 20 asked no one in particular. He was cut off by a hard punch from Gohan. "Hoooooo..." Gohan charged up and went Mystic. The bad guys charged at him. "HIYAH!" Gohan spread his arms out, knocking all of them back with an energy wave.
Nappa struggled to get up as he looked to the front door. "They're outside! We have to protect the energy sphere!" Just then, a frying pan whacked him on the head. It belonged to Chi-Chi. The Z-girls besides 18 ganged up on Nappa and Radditz and began whacking them repeatedly. The two Saiyans were brought to the floor in pain.
"Fine, I'll get outside!!" Frieza exclaimed as he blocked punches from a fierce Piccolo. Frieza sent a hard left kick to Piccolo's side. Piccolo was knocked into Gohan, who was currently fighting the majority of the villains. Gohan stumbled from the impact of his mentor, allowing Kid Buu to get an energy blast in on Gohan's face. "KAA!"
Gohan shut his eyes quick as the blast hit him. Dust covered Kid Buu's view of Gohan. He received a shock when Gohan burst out and punched him in the face. As Kid Buu twisted backwards, Gohan grabbed his antennae and slammed him into the ground with it.
"You're coming too!!" Frieza yelled as he grabbed the members of the Ginyu Force with his energy, barely saving them from a swift triple chop from Tien, Yamcha, and Choutzu. Miari Trunks saw this and ran after them.
"No one will escape today!!" he shouted as he drew his sword. The Ginyu Force began to wiggle around in fright as Miari Trunks approached.
"Paparrapapa!!!" Babidi shot a blast of magic at Miari Trunks. It hit his sword, making it change into a foam rubber sword. Not sure what to do, Miari Trunks slashed anyway when he reached the fleeing Frieza. The sword broke from the tough skin of the fighters.
"....." Frieza snickered. "You shouldn't play with sharp objects! You could put an eye out you know!!" With that, Frieza exited the house with the Ginyu Force. Babidi took the opportunity to charge Trunks, slamming the young teen in the gut.
"..." Trunks just stared at Babidi in confusion. He picked the tiny wizard up by the cape. "You're not very strong, are you?"
"Put me down this instant!!" Babidi demanded. Miari Trunks grinned. "No, I'd rather put you up." Miari Trunks spun Babidi around and threw him at the ceiling. He plowed through to the next floor, and Trunks flew up after him.
Elsewhere, Android 20 laughed evily as he chased a fleeing Oolong and Puar. He was soon running back scared the other way when the frying pan-wielding gals came at them, with a laughing Oolong and Puar behind the action. Ox King continuously stepped on Radditz's head, trying to look strong. Luckily, he was already out cold from the frying-pan bashing.
"Yee!!" Roshi yelped when he found Babidi's Majins charging him. The old man thought of a plan, and he found one. He turned around and grabbed the back of his pants.
"Huh?" The Majins stopped in surprise in front of Roshi. He had now lowered his pants.
'PPPPPFFFFFFTTTTT'
The Majins staggered back the way they came, all with disgusted faces. Roshi gave the screen a peace sign. Videl glared at him from the side.
Outside, Goku, Vegeta, and Krillin appeared in front of a surprised Hercule.
"What took you? I almost got killed!!" Hercule complained. Goku and Vegeta said nothing as they floated towards the top of the mansion. Krillin picked Hercule up and flew after them, saying flatly, "They can't kill anyone in their current state, you were fine."
The three Z Warriors, not counting Hercule, floated up to the negative energy sphere resting at the tip of the mansion. They came to a halt directly below it.
"How do you propose we get rid of this thing?" Vegeta asked Goku. Goku put a hand forward and carefully touched the sphere, feeling it around. "Hmm...seems stable..."
Goku turned back to the others. "Alright, we'll push it into space, then blow it up here." Krillin's eyes widened and he looked up. "We gotta push it all the way up there?! But we'll run outta air!!"
Goku snapped back at Krillin. "Do you wanna save the Earth or not? Let's get to work!"
"I guess you won't appreciate an early break then," the just-arrived Frieza said. The Ginyu Force posed around him to emphasize their arrival.
"Damn it, they were supposed to be kept inside!!" Vegeta exclaimed as he threw an energy blast at Frieza. Frieza let the blast hit him full force. Vegeta grinned at the smoking dust cloud, until a speeding flash flew out and hit Vegeta. Frieza grabbed the stunned Vegeta and threw him onto Goku and Krillin, knocking them over like bowling pins. Hercule was dropped by Krillin accidently during the ruckus. He crashed into the roof and just laid there, stunned.
"Looky looky. I found a stray," Reccome chuckled as he picked up Hercule. He threw the champion into the front yard right into the mass of monsters. "Tear him to pieces!" Recoome ordered to the demons.
"Hold on!" Krillin yelled as he flew down to Hercule. The bald warrior was intercepted by super-fast Burter, receiving a surprise kick from below. Krillin recovered instantly and began grappling with Burter. Meanwhile, Hercule was actually beating up the zombies as they tried to attack him.
Once again, inside the mansion, the Z-gals' frying-pan rampage was ended when a horde of demons piled on top of them. Gohan saw this and ran to help them, but he was suddenly tripped by an unseen force.
"What the?" Kid Buu's foot appeared under him. It seeped out from the crack in the floor, bringing the rest of Kid Buu with it. Now that he was under the demi-saiyan, he shot his arm up, bringing Gohan with it. Gohan was slammed into the ceiling, and he kept on going til he hit the highest ceiling in the mansion.
"Kaa..." Kid Buu muttered as he brought the rest of his body up to his stretched-out arm. When he became level with Gohan, he gave the boy a hard right. Gohan was thrown into a dresser. The dresser opened and a pile of clothes were strewn onto Gohan. He had to restrain himself from yelping when he discovered they were all women's underwear. He blushed furiously upon realizing that he was in Videl's room. This was short-lived however, as Kid Buu kicked him out into the hallway.
"Stop moving around!" Piccolo yelled as he tried to hit a dodging Pui-Pui. Pui-Pui grinned and glanced to the side. He moved backwards suddenly, leaving Piccolo to wonder why. A streak of light swiftly slashed through Piccolo's center. Yakon laughed off to the side as he brought his claw back. Piccolo was split into two halves.
"Now I will eat you!!" Yakon said as he grabbed Piccolo's top half. Piccolo smirked, and he quickly regenerated his bottom half. In their current position, Piccolo's feet hit Yakon square in the face as they regenerated out of Piccolo. This gave Piccolo time to bash Yakon in the face with an elbow. Pui-Pui charged at Piccolo, but the Namek flew into the air. Pui-Pui stumbled when he missed and rammed into Yakon.
Elsewhere, King Cold was charging after Fat Buu, who was casually flying away backwards. The good Buu forgot where he was going though, and he plowed right through the walls of the house. King Cold went right after him still. Unfortunately for him, he was not the only chaser. Android 18 swiped at King Cold's back, knocking him on his chest.
"Yamcha!! Help meeee!!" Puar pleaded as she was lifted into the air by Dodoria. The pink, lard-gut opened his mouth, as if to eat Puar. Puar wriggled around furiously.
"I'm coming, Puar!!" Yamcha exclaimed as he flew to the scene. He punched Dodoria in the head, but it didn't phase him one bit. Dodoria scowled. "Zarbon, could you defeat this guy for me? I'm tryin' to have lunch here!"
Without a word, Zarbon in his monster form walked forward and slapped Yamcha in the face. Yamcha growled. "Asshole.." He then leaped at Zarbon with a punch. Zarbon swiftly blocked with his palm as Yamcha flew past slowly. Zarbon enclosed his palm around Yamcha's own fist, taking control. He tossed Yamcha into the back confines of the house.
Dodoria laughed and prepared to "eat" Puar. Puar yelped and quickly changed into something as she was placed in Dodoria's mouth. Dodoria smiled in satisfactory as first, but he was suddenly in pain when something big and spiky puffed up in his mouth. "GLACK!!!" Dodoria hacked up Puar, who had changed into a puffer fish. She changed back to her cat form and shook Dodoria's saliva off herself. Just then, Chotuzu ran by and grabbed Puar out of harm's way.
"Hey! My lunch!" Dodoria yelled at Choutzu. But he soon had bigger worries when he noticed Tien facing him in the Tri-Beam position. "TRI-BEAM, HA!"
"YEEK!" Dodoria had no time to put up a defense as he was hit. Everyone turned their attention in surprise to the sudden attack. The Tri-Beam plowed past Dodoria and into the wall. It burst through the wall with ease and flew off safely across the horizon.
"Stupid! He'll kill everyone!" Piccolo exclaimed in frustration as the scene became clear. Dodoria's clothes were ripped to shreds and he was very very cut and bruised. "YOU FOOL! YOU'RE RUINED MY CHARMING GOOD LOOKS!!!"
Tien smirked. "Funny, I thought you were just ugly." Dodoria shook his fist at Tien. "I'LL KILL YOU!!!"
"Wow...I wonder where they all went to," Krillin said to himself as he noticed for the first time that there were no demons or monsters in the distance. "Have they really all gathered here?..." Krillin was interrupted by Burter's fist, which he quickly ducked under.
At the roof, Goku and Vegeta were busy fighting with Frieza. The rest of the Ginyu Force cheered him on from below. "Frieza! Frieza! He's our ma..." The Force paused in confusion.
"Man?...woman?..." Jeice wondered. Frieza scowled at them. "Oh, you're a big help!!" he yelled as he blocked Goku from advancing with his foot.
'VSH'
Somewhere in Satan City, Cell reappeared with the unconscious Hiei and Kurama. Immediately, his senses detected a battle in progress.
*What is that? There should be no fighting here....unless...*
Cell quickly flew towards Satan Mansion at his top speed. He came screeching to a halt in front of Goku, Vegeta, Frieza, and the Ginyu Force. The group was surprised by his appearance.
"C-Cell...you're b-back..." Frieza said nervously. Cell gritted his teeth angrily. "I knew it...I never should have trusted you all with these idiots!!!"
"B-but sir, they played a dirty trick on us..." Recoome said solemnly. Cell raised an eyebrow. "What trick is that? I'll bet it was a real STUPID one."
Burter, who was the closest to Hercule, pointed at the world champion. "That freak insulted us...he was so mean, he was...and the.."
"NAAAANNIIII?!" Cell screamed in confusion and anger. "YOU FELL FOR A TRAP SET BY THAT LYING DUMBASS, HERCULE????!!!!!"
Frieza and the Ginyu Force now appeared as tiny midgets before a giant, furious Cell. Flames flew up behind him like an inferno. "IF I HAD KNOWN YOU WERE ALL THIS STUPID, I WOULD HAVE COME BY MYSELF AND LEFT YOU IN OTHERWORLD FROM THE START!!!"
Frieza and the Force whimpered in fear as they pleaded Cell's forgiveness. Goku and the others were at a loss for words. Just then, Gohan and Miari Trunks came crashing through the roof. Kid Buu and Babidi eagerly jumped up after them from below. In the blink of an eye, Cell was behind them, and he kicked them in their sides.
"Wak!" Babidi twitched when he saw Cell. "H-hey Cell...you got those demons?" Cell smirked. "Yes...I do...but you know what you've got?"
Babidi backed away nervously. "N-no..."
"A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO!!" Cell screamed in Babidi's ear. Meanwhile Miari Trunks and Gohan had straightened out, and then floated to the others. "Cell's back?" Gohan asked.
Goku nodded. "Yeah, and he's got two demons with him...oh man, they're so close..." Vegeta spit onto the roof and disgust. "Now there's no way we'll finish my plan..."
Cell sighed slowly to let some of his anger out. "It can't be helped, I suppose...either way, they still can't stop our plan from being carried out."
Cell glared at Frieza and the Ginyu Force again. "Though, considering where we are right now, they COULD HAVE stopped it. All because of YOU five!" Frieza and the Force shrunk down in fear.
Finally, Cell stopped his frowns, as he smiled down at the Z Warriors. "What a night it his been..." Goku shuddered. "Darn it..."
"It looks like we're going to have our way after all," Cell said with a wide grin. He held up the two youkais in his possession. "With these two, our dream becomes reality..."
"Darn it!!!" Goku said once more. He looked at the ground in defeat. "That's it...now they have won...it's over..." Gohan looked at his father with concern. "There's no one left to help....but if they can do anything at all..." Then Gohan thought to himself, *Goten and Trunks! Where are you?*
"Alright, so let me get this straight..." Yusuke pondered as he thought on everything Goten and Trunks had told them. ".....you have absolutely no idea what's going on."
"Right," the boys said.
"Good, at least I'm not alone," Yusuke simply said. Kuwabara sat on the ground behind the three, feeling out of place and confused. By this time, Goten and Trunks had taken off their Halloween costumes, realizing how unimportant they were in the current situation. Their normal clothes were under them.
"You don't like, need our help or anything, do you?" Yusuke asked in a slight annoyed tone. "I don't know. We don't exactly know what we're up against, but help is always good," Goten said.
Yusuke put his hand to his chin as he thought. "Will...there be more demons where you're going?" The boys raised their eyes slightly. "Well yeah, of course there will," Trunks stated.
Yusuke grinned when he heard this. "Then you can count me in. If all the big strong demons are gathering...then Toguro is bound to be there, and I need to kick his ass from earlier!!"
At this, Kuwabara leaped at Yusuke and clamped his mouth shut. "Baka, don't use such language around children!"
"I'll use what ever damn language I want, pisshead!" Yusuke exclaimed. Kuwabara jumped to his feet and clenched his fist. "Why you little..."
"Nah, it's alright," Trunks said. Yusuke looked at him in surprise. "You mean...you don't need us to come with you?"
Goten shook his head. "No no, not that. We mean you can say bad words if you want," Goten said, then he pointed at Trunks. "Saying bad words is practically on his dad's "things to do list"." Trunks simply nodded.
Yusuke gave Kuwabara an annoying grin and laughed. "Ha, I like these little guys! They favor me, pisshead!" Kuwabara just cursed silently. Yusuke turned back to the kids. "As I said, you can count us in. I suppose it's our duty to rescue Hiei and Kurama anyway..."
Goten smiled and walked in front of Yusuke. "Alright, take my hand," he said as he put his hand out to Yusuke. Yusuke stared in confusion. "Um...no offense kid, but there's no use trying to look cute. No one's around to see you..."
"No, I have to carry you."
Yusuke raised an eyebrow at Goten. "Reeeaaallllyyy...hey, did'ja hear that, Kuwabara? He's gonna "carry me"!" Yusuke said sarcastically. Just then, Goten grabbed Yusuke and floated up into the air. Yusuke looked down in shock.
"W-whaddaya know?...he's carryin' me...." Goten waved a hand at Trunks. "Hurry up, Trunks! There's not that much time!"
"Just give me your hand, guy," Trunks said to Kuwabara. Kuwabara sheepishly put his hand forward. Trunks grabbed it and flew into the air, much faster than Goten did. Kuwabara screamed as he flailed around wildly. "AAAHHH!! I'M FLOATING! DON'T DROP ME!! PLEASE DON'T!!!"
"I will if you keep struggling like that!!!" Trunks yelled. Kuwabara immediately stopped struggling. The two demi-saiyans turned and blasted off towards Satan City with their new cargo.
"Hey, slow down!! I wanna fly first-class for this trip!"
"SHADDUP, KUWABARA!!!"
*TIME: 11:50*
Cell and the rest of the villains stood inside the house. Each and every one of them had evil grins plastered on their faces. On the other side of the room stood the Z Warriors. Actually, there wasn't much of a room left. The house was nearly demolished on the inside from the previous scramble. The random demons and monsters all were piling upon the house, trying to see into the event.
"It hurts me...it really does..." Cell said softly. "...that you'll have to go so quickly. I wish I'd have gotten to cause you much more pain..."
"But unfortunately, we have not much time left," Frieza cut in. "It's time to complete the process...and you get front row seats."
Babidi, who had been smiling the whole time, suddenly frowned. "What's wrong?" he asked. "Why do you not try to stop us?" Babidi then chuckled. "Oh I get it, you've realized how pathetic and useless you are."
Another new thing about the room was that the negative energy ball now floated in the room behind the bad guys. Its light caused a cold, purple haze around the mansion. Below the ball, two tables sat on the floor. Two figures were strapped onto them.
"Oh well...let's get this show on the road then!" Babidi said as he turned around. He gestured towards the two tables. "As you can see here, the demons are cleanly in place on their, "sacrificial tables". Now we have to extract their demon energy from them, and transfer it into our "doomsday" ball. Quite clever, don't you think?"
"Father..." Gohan said as he looked at his father. "Isn't there anything we can do now?..." Goku turned solemnly to his son.
*I wish I could tell him there was...but that would be a lie...*
Without him saying a word, Gohan knew what the answer would be. Videl, who was next to Gohan, looked up at him in sorrow. "Gohan....I'm sorry..."
"Sorry for what?" Gohan asked. Videl bit her bottom lip. "If I had known this would be our last night on Earth, I wouldn't have been so rough on you about the boys..."
Gohan gave Videl a light smile. "You didn't know...no one knew...it's no one's fault...this is just how things have to be..." he said as he draped an arm around her shoulder. Upon seeing this scene of sadness, Chi-Chi just burst out crying, and Goku tried to calm her down. Not helping the mood, the villains showed no sympathy from this.
"Damn it...where am I?..." an awakening Hiei said. He couldn't believe that once again he had been knocked out, then find himself bound by a strong force. This time, Kurama was awake as well.
"We appear to have been taken captive..." Kurama said, as if it were routine. Hiei would have fallen over, but he was not in a position to do so. "I can see that, but WHERE are we?"
Kurama glanced around to as much as he could see. He finally recognized one face. "Hiei, I see that Gohan boy out there."
"Gohan? The one who supplied Goten and Trunks?" Hiei asked.
"Yes, that's him. Gohan!!!" Kurama yelled out. Gohan perked up in surprise. He looked over at the tables, realizing who it was for the first time. "Wait...the demons are Kurama and Hiei?!"
"Gohan, what's going on here?!" Kurama asked. Gohan was now confused. Krillin leaned over and nudged Gohan. "These some friends of yours?"
"I'm not sure myself..." a flabbergasted Gohan said. "How did those two get mixed up in this?....hold on...hey! Where are the boys?!"
"Out THERE somewhere!" Hiei shouted. "Those two excel at getting into trouble!! Let's just say we're not signing up for chaperoning next year!!"
"AHA!!!!" Videl said as she pointed at Gohan accusingly. Gohan was beyond confusion right now. "Hey, what happened to, "I wouldn't have given you such a hard time"?"
Videl smirked evily at Gohan. "Pipe down...like getting punished even matters when you're about to die forever."
"Oh really?" a grinning Chi-Chi said. "Well THIS boy can expect some heavy chores to do when we get to Otherworld!!" Gohan growled as Videl giggled. Vegeta yelled at them, "YOU'RE NOT HELPING!"
"Stop stalling!" Cell ordered. "You're only lengthening the inevitable." Cell spun around and pointed at Babidi. "Begin your magic, so we can begin our residence on Earth!!"
"Yessir!" Babidi said. He turned towards the negative energy ball and threw his arms forward. "PAPARRAPAPA!!!"
'ZRRGT!'
Two bolts of energy creaked out of the ball as the house started to shake from the force of the energy. The bolts slithered towards Hiei and Kurama on their tables.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT???!!!" a panicking Hiei screamed.
Finally, the bolts hit the two youkais. They screamed in pain as the dark energy began to flow through their bodies. The Z Warriors watched in horror.
"They'll be killed!" Goku exclaimed. "And yet there's nothing we can do about it..."
Babidi sneered. "Very good, Goku. And you only have a couple minutes if you want to try anyway, just in case. In a few minutes, all of their youkai energy will have been transferred into the ball!"
Just then, all of the Z Warriors glanced to the side. "SOMEONE'S COMING!!" they all yelled at once. "Huh?" Cell looked to the side in confusion.
"But who's left?! We're all here!!" Bulma exclaimed. Gohan's eyes widened. "No! We're not!!"
Four figures slammed into the house at that moment. Two were being carried by the other two. They landed on the ground, directly between the two groups.
".......Goten.....Trunks.....you made it....." a shocked Gohan stuttered out. Trunks glanced at Gohan. "Yeah...looks like we missed the party, though."
"Hiei! Kurama!" Yusuke exclaimed when he saw his friends being fried to death. "W-what's happening to them?!" Kuwabara wondered. He received no answer.
"Look who finally decided to show up..." Cell said with a smirk. "I was wondering how long it would take you to get here."
Goten and Trunks turned to face the bad guys. Without so much as a word, they spread themselves three feet apart, and went into the Fusion pose.
"What, no! That won't help!" Goku yelled. But the two had already begun.
"Fuuuuu...sion! HA!" A bright light formed, and SSJ3 Gotenks emerged. Gotenks looked at the gang of bad guys and smirked. "Wow, looks like I've hit the jackpot. Everyone's here."
"Gotenks, that was a waste of energy! They can't be killed, they're the living dead!" Goku yelled.
"Well that makes things interesting..." Gotenks said without looking at Goku. "What's happening to Hiei and Kurama? How can we stop it?"
"Their demon energy is being sucked out of them for that big energy ball!" Goku explained. "If there was a way to direct pure energy into the ball, it could block out the demon energy, but there's no way to do that without destroying the ball and killing everyone!"
"Feh...even if there was a way, you won't have the time to figure it out..." Babidi said. "Only two minutes left..."
"Is that so?..." Gotenks said calmly. He glanced at Yusuke. "Hey, guy, do you and your friends happen to have a...um...thing that can conduct energy? I know my friends don't..."
"Umm...Kurama is good at handling plants! I'm sure one of his plants could conduct energy into a substance!" Yusuke said. Gotenks nodded. "Alright...."
Gotenks cupped his hands to his mouth and called out, "Kurama, could you hear that?! We need you to produce TWO plants that we can use to conduct pure energy into that big ball! Can you do that?!"
There was no answer. Gotenks waited patiently. The Z Warriors and the bad guys watched in earnest, wondering what would happen.
"...Maybe he's already been killed..." Kuwabara said sadly. Yusuke sighed, but Gotenks continued to wait. Suddenly, he saw a shaky hand rise up from one of the tables within the energy bolt. It held two little seeds in its hand.
"Hn...he's coming through," Gotenks said with a smirk. Yusuke and Kuwabara looked back in surprise. The hand tossed one seed onto the ball at the point where the bolt of energy flowed out. He threw the other to the same point on Hiei's side. The two seeds suddenly sprouted into two large plants.
"Yes!" Yusuke exclaimed. Each of the plants had the bud of a flower pointing outward. Gotenks grinned. "There's my entryway," the fusion said as he charged his energy.
"HO!" he exclaimed as he sent two concentrated waves of energy outward. One went for each plant. Cell raised his eyebrows in suspicion. The Z Warriors all leaned forward in excitement. "Yes. Yes!! YES!!!"
The energy waves entered the plants' "mouths". From there, it began to suck itself into the negative energy ball. As this happened, the energy bolts began to quiver as if being disturbed.
"Wha?! What's this?!" Frieza exclaimed. Suddenly, the noticeable flow of youkai energy into the ball stopped. With a quick snap, the energy bolts broke off the ball. They fell to the floor and dissipated. Babidi watched in shock as a weary Hiei and Kurama stood up from their tables. The energy bolts had broken their binds off.
"I-It st-st-stopped.....the t-transfer stopped..." Babidi stuttered. Hiei and Kurama staggered over to Gotenks, Yusuke, and Kuwabara. "I see you couldn't be left out, Yusuke," Kurama said with a chuckle.
"Try not to talk, you're hurt bad," Yusuke suggested. Gotenks smiled at Kurama. "I knew you could pull in for us, Kurama."
"Of course, but explain to me...what happened to Goten and Trunks?..."
"Heh heh...I AM Goten and Trunks...I'm GOTENKS!" Gotenks said proudly. The Rekai Tantei stared in confusion. Hiei leaned over and whispered to Yusuke, "I've learned just to not ask questions."
Meanwhile, the rest of the Z Warriors were dancing around like they had won the Worlds Series. "WE DID IT, WE DID IT, WE DID IT, WE DID IT!!!"
"It was an unexpectedly easy win, but hey, it works for me!" Vegeta exclaimed. He gave Goku a high-five, which very much surprised Gohan. Gotenks smirked. "Heh, you guys need me for EVERYTHING, don't you?"
"Thanks guys, you've proved me wrong for once. There is a way to solve anything, and we found the solution!" Goku said with pride. He was relieved and relaxed for the first time that night.
"...heh heh heh...ha ha ha ha...hah hah! A HA HA HA HA HA!!!"
Cell began to laugh insanely. Everyone turned to him in surprise. Frieza walked up to him nervously. "B-but sir, we've lost..."
Cell smirked at Frieza. "Are you that blind, man? Check that ball, my friends! It's preparing!!"
Everyone turned their attention to the energy ball. It was quivering. "I can feel energy flowing from it slowly!" Gotenks exclaimed. "But how? I stopped it for sure!"
Gotenks jumped closer to the energy ball and looked at it. Cell taunted the boy. "Feh, your efforts were for nothing. Had you even been able to stop it after ONE shot of youkai energy entered the ball, you would have lost still!"
"Explain, now!" Goku ordered.
"I shall! Did you really think that little trick would direct ALL of the youkai energy out of the ball? It was very clever, but without guarantee," Cell said as he glanced at the energy ball. "You see, once the energy entered the ball, it fused with the current energy of the ball. Your trick only affected free energy, and some of that energy had become PERMANENT. We never needed the entire energy of two youkais, just a little from each! The only thing that's different about having less energy is that it slows down the transferal of the spell, MAKING YOUR FATE MUCH MORE SLOW AND PAINFUL!!!"
The Z Warriors were left speechless. Cell, who had an insane grin on his face, lifted a finger into the air. "But wait! That's not all!! Take a look! Your pure energy has agitated the evil energy in our ball!"
"What does that mean?" Gotenks asked. Cell grinned wider. "What do you think?! It's going to release its energy early, without us making it! Your fate will awaken in a matter of moments!"
The villains spirits were lifted from this. Babidi smiled in earnest at Cell. "How could I have forgotten all that! Oh, I'm such an idiot!" Cell sneered. "Yes you are...now, prepare my friends! We are moving in tonight!"
"NO!" Gohan yelled. "WE HAD IT!!" As he said this, a wave of energy began to flow out of the ball. The Z Warriors struggled to hold their ground from the extreme force. Cell's eyes glowed an evil red as he exclaimed, "THIS IS JUST THE APPETIZER! IN A FEW MOMENTS, YOUR DEATH WILL COME!!!!! FAREWELL!!!!!!"
The villains began laughing evily. Gotenks put his arms to his face as the energy ball began to glow. "Augh...here it comes!!!"
'BONG! BONG! BONG!'
Everything went dead silent. The bong of a clock was heard ringing from down the hall. One, two, three...no, twelve times in all. Cell stared in surprise.
"W-what was t-that?...the clock chiming on the hou...no...it couldn't be..." he whispered in disbelief. Cell spun around to the clock sitting in their location. Its time read as 11:57.
"Was that...the sounding of midnight?..." Bulma wondered.
Frieza pointed at the clock Cell was looking at in shock. "B-but we st- still have 3 minutes!...
Suddenly, a faint laugh came from the Z Warriors. It was, surprisingly, Hercule. "Oh yeah...that's right..."
"Hercule?...you know how that happened?!" Vegeta asked. Hercule nodded. "Yes...that clock right there...it's 3 minutes slow. I've been meaning to get it fixed."
Dead silence filled the room again. Cell's mouth opened wide. "N-no...we can't lose..."
Slowly, the rumbling of the energy ball's force became larger. The room began to glow with a white light as the energy ball began to warp around. Large winds flew around the room as everyone was thrown into a fit of confusion.
"WHAT'S HAPPENING?!!! MY ENERGY BALL!!!!" Babidi exclaimed. Suddenly, a zombie that was standing near Babidi screamed in pain. The zombie disintegrated into a billion pieces. Babidi watched in shock as the pieces floated into the spinning white void warped from the energy ball.
"THEY'RE DYING...AGAIN!!!" Miari Trunks exclaimed. All around them, the zombies and monsters disintegrated and were pulled into the void. All the time the bright light got brighter and more intense.
"WAAAAAHHHH!!!!" Jeice yelled out as he body began to warp around him. Him and the rest of the Ginyu Force were warped into the void, and they disappeared with a flash. Next, Babidi's Majins fell victim to the intense whiteness.
"MOMMMMYYYY!!!" Radditz whined as he and Nappa were sucked up into emptiness. Android 20 and the rest of Frieza's henchmen clawed at the furniture, but they soon became prey to the void.
"EVERYONE, STAY TOGETHER!!" Goku shouted as he tried to pry himself to the floor. It was hard to stand straight because of the intense winds. Gohan watched in shock as the final four villains, Cell, Frieza, Babidi, and Kid Buu, struggled to run from the void.
"YOU WON'T BEAT ME! I'M THE WINNER! I'M THE WINNNNNNEEEEERRRRR!!!!" Cell shouted at the top of his lungs. As he finished, the four of them lost their footing and were pulled into the void. They screamed as they disappeared into the white light, which was now nearly blinding. The light began to cover up everyone's sight of anything as it came to a deafening climax.
"GOTEN, TRUNKS!!!!" Hiei exclaimed as he charged forward to Gotenks, who was deadly close to the bright void. He was soon not visible to the naked eye, and after a moment, nothing was. Everything fell prey to the white light. Gotenks felt himself going stiff. He fell to the ground and saw no more.
*TIME: UNKNOWN*
"...........AH!"
Goten and Trunks sat up with a start. They glanced around the room. The Z Warriors were all sprawled on the floor, fast asleep. The boys looked at each other.
"....D-did you happen to have a dream about monsters and demons and Cell and a big white light?" Goten asked nervously.
"Y-yeah...and a whole lot more..." Trunks said.
"D-did it r-really happen?...was it a dream?...did we really almost die forever?..." Trunks asked quietly to no one in particular. He noticed that Videl's house was fine. There we no damages to it. You'd have never thought anyone was there.
"I don't know..." Goten whispered. "It could have been....but it looks like nothing happened..." Trunks scratched his chin and asked more questions. "Could we have just gone to the party like we had planned?...did we all pass out from partying to hard?....did we never even have the idea to trick- or-treat at all?..."
Trunks went to stand up, but he found a weight holding him down. He glanced down, and found Hiei's arm wrapped around his waist. At the end of it, was Hiei, lying asleep on the floor.
Goten looked at this, and he slowly smiled. "Wow...."
"He tried to save Gotenks...how nice..." Trunks said softly. The demi- saiyan smiled and fell backwards, diving back into a deep sleep. Goten followed suit. The two boys rested once again, waiting for the new morning to arrive.
