Author's Notes: Kioko: I think I'm going to just skip the long and boring author's notes for this chapter. Thanks for the reviews for the last chapter and enjoy this one!!

Q/A: BeBeBlu009: In chapter 9, Frieza was killed and then came back to life. This was when Cell decided to explain that they got granted immortality for the seven hours they were left on Earth. Yeah, I should just kill him off and make him stay dead cause he really doesn't move the story along very much any more. Oh well.

                                    Chapter 12: The Final Fusion

            "Whoa!! What the…?!" Kuririn exclaimed, looking in the direction where he had last felt the battle being taken place.

            "What is it Kuririn?" Juuhachigou asked looking up from the game she was playing with Marron.

            "This may sound a bit crazy, but it feels like Goku and Vegeta's kis have merged," Kuririn explained an 'I don't believe this is happening' kind of sound in his voice. "The separate kis themselves have disappeared and now there's a totally new ki that has a touch of their qualities. How bizarre…"

            "That is rather strange. I don't remember anything like this ever happening before. Even the information that Dr. Gero programmed about your fighting techniques doesn't show anything like this." Juuhachigou replied. "And have you also noticed that none of the saiya-jin's kis, besides that strange ki we felt earlier, have raised into the super saiya-jin level?"

            "Yeah, I noticed it. Knowing those guys, they would've jumped into super saiya-jin the first chance they got!! Especially against something like Cell!" Kuririn sighed and looked at the ceiling. "What in the world is going on over there?!"

            Cell stopped powering up the Kamehameha wave and the blue ball of ki disappeared from his cupped hands. This fusion was going to be a thorn in his side.

            Sure, Gotenks may have been cocky, but the new fusion wouldn't be. The fusion of Goku and Vegeta wouldn't back down from his challenge until Cell was dead and stayed dead. But of course, that wouldn't happen for another three hours yet.

             Cell grimaced slightly. The combination of Goku and Vegeta's ki levels would help him very much either. Even without super saiya-jin strength, this fusion would be a huge challenge to him.

            Cell took a glance at the astounded chibis floating a few feet away from him. Their deaths would just have to wait a few more minutes. Right now, the new guy was his main priority.

            "So you two actually fused together, huh?" Cell demanded. "What are we going to call this monstrosity? Vegoku?"

            "Wrong." The fusion's mixed voice replied. "My name is Gogeta."

            "Gogeta, well that's certainly very creative…" Frieza mumbled to himself. He got a warning glare of Mirai Trunks, however, which quickly shut him up.

            "You better not forget that name, Cell, for I shall be the one who sends you back to hell before this night is over with." Gogeta declared, holding his head up in a dignified way.

            "You still won't be a challenge to me, Gogeta. Even with your combined strength, you're still useless without your super saiya-jin powers." Cell smirked. He began to float down towards Gogeta.

            "Is that so?" Gogeta cocked an eyebrow at Cell. "I believe that your request only covered the super saiya-jins that existed before the request was granted. I have just been created," Vegeta's smirk began to cross over the fusion's face. "thus meaning that that little rule doesn't effect me one bit."

            Frieza and Cell looked at each other, their faces mirroring the same thought:

            Oh, shit.

            "Now, prepare yourself Cell, for you're about to face the combined super saiya-jin of the two greatest warriors in the universe!!" Gogeta roared as he began to power up.

            This transformation was far different from the one that had taken place just a half an hour ago. While Gotenks had looked like he had this mastered during his powering up stage, it was clear that Gogeta forcing every cell in his body to corporate into transforming himself into a super saiya-jin for the very first time.

            The golden aura began to form around Gogeta's body and his muscles began to bulge bit by bit. The ground underneath the spectators began to shake with such force that the walls of the theater began to crumble. Even the very air was trembling.

            Gogeta's hair began to switch from black to gold and his eyes turned teal. With a burst of pure, golden light and a roar of rage, super saiya-jin Gogeta was formed.

            "Now Cell," he said with a smirk of confidence. "Prepare to die!"

            Up in other world, the Kaios were still celebrating Son Goku's week absence along with the rest of Heaven's inhabitants. No Son Goku for them meant sleeping in later and actually eating their breakfast for once instead of inhaling it. No Son Goku for the Kaio's meant no more complaints about being bored or no more blown up expensive, godly cars.

Currently, North Kaio-sama was happily trading automobile tips with East Kaio-sama on Grand Kaio-sama's planet while this whole incident was taking place on Earth. He was in mid rant about how the new SUVs take up so much space and hardly leave any room for the sports car in the garage when he felt Gogeta's high ki rise.

            "Whoa!!" Kaio-sama exclaimed, his antennae wiggling madly. "Who is that ki source on Earth?? And is that….CELL?!?!!"

            "Cell?" East Kaio-sama echoed, concern in her voice. "Wasn't he that grasshopper who killed your fighter, Son Goku and you about seven years back?"

            "Yes, of course." Kaio-sama said with a snort of annoyance. "But that's not the point. Cell is back on Earth and is reeking havoc! And now there's a completely new ki that might be in alliance with him! Oh man, where's Son Goku when you need him?!"

            "Who needs Son Goku?" West Kaio-sama piped up from East Kaio-sama's elbow. "I thought we already established that fact when my Pikkon…"

            "You keep out of this!!" North Kaio-sama growled, glaring at the purple little imp. "And anyways, my Goku's better than your Pikkon would EVER be!!"

            "Oh yeah?!"

            "Yeah!!"

            East Kaio-sama and South Kaio-sama sighed as West and North started their daily verbal spar. And they had almost made the whole day without an incident too.

            "Wanna take bets on how long it takes until Pikkon has to wrench them apart from each other?" East Kaio-sama asked, pulling out her billfold.

            "Five minutes. Tops." South Kaio-sama retorted, smirking at a challenge. True, the South Quadrants fighters weren't very strong, but they were excellent gamblers.

            "Whoa, whoa, whoa home fries!!" Grand Kaio-sama exclaimed, finally arriving on the scene with his boom box. North and West Kaio-samas refrained from poking the others eye out to stare at their leader. "I'm presuming that this fight has to deal with Goku and Pikkon again, correct?" All four Kaio's nodded. "And did I by chance here the name Cell mentioned a few moments ago?"

            "Yes, Grand Kaio-sama! He's back on Earth doing who knows what and there's an even stronger person with him!! And I can't even locate Goku or that troublesome Vegeta for that matter!"

            "How about that kid…Son something…" South Kaio-sama interrupted, rubbing his chin in thought. "The one who defeated Cell in the first place…Gohan! That's it! Son Gohan!"

            "Gohan? Goku's son?" Kaio-sama questioned. His eyebrows knotted in concentration. "Yes, yes! He's there, but…why isn't he fighting?"

             "Ahem." An old sounding voice asked from behind them. The Kaios looked around to see Baba floating a few feet away. "I believe I can be of some assistance."

            Goten and Trunks gaped as they watched the face off between Cell and Gogeta far below them. Their father's fusion was so incredible and so powerful! Cell was finished for sure!

            "Wow! This is such an awesome fight, isn't it Trunks?" Goten asked. "My Dad and your Dad are going to give it to Cell now!!"

            "Yeah, but…" Chibi Trunks whispered, biting his lip in frustration. "What if they're not strong enough? What if they can't defeat Cell once before the time limit is up? Then he'll be so mad, he'll kill us all without waiting for another fusion to start!"

            "Your right!" Goten gasped. "Do you think we should become Gotenks now, so we can help our Dads?"

            Trunks nodded. "Let's do it Goten! But this time, let's start out as super saiya-jins, so we'll be ready to fight right away!"

            "Yeah!" Goten replied, powering up to the super saiya-jin level, Trunks following behind him. "Ready? FU…."

            "Cell! They're fusing again!!" Frieza yelled, as a warning, pointing up to the two golden figures doing a very familiar dance.

            "What?!" Cell demanded, looking where Frieza pointed, giving Gogeta an open shot.

            The fusion punched Cell in the jaw and the android went flying into the distance, but Gogeta easily caught up to him and kicked him towards the floor of the auditorium. Cell landed with a crash, leaving a ten-foot hole in the floor.

            Gogeta floated to the edge of the crater and smirked down at the empty blackness.

            "Cell, I'm surprised! Did you slack off while you were in hell?" Gogeta boasted. "You could have dodged a simple attack like that seven years ago! Is being dead finally getting to your brain?"

            Gogeta's questions were answered by a ki blast shooting out of the hole and missing him completely.

            "And your aim's gotten even worse, I see!" Gogeta laughed, as a bruised and battered Cell appeared out of his crater.

            "I wasn't aiming for you," Cell sneered, pointing up into the sky where the ki blast had headed. "I was aiming for those brats and it seems I was right on. They were too engrossed in trying to get their little fusion right, that they didn't seen it coming!"

            Gogeta whipped his head around just in time to see Gohan and Mirai Trunks catch the falling bodies of Goten and Chibi Trunks.

            "They're OK, Dad!" Gohan called. "We'll take care of them and you just get back to fighting Cell!!"

            "Thanks, Gohan!" Gogeta called, before turning back to Cell with a grimace on his face. "That was low. Attacking defenseless children. But I can't expect any better from something like you, right?"

            "Correct you are, Gogeta." Cell laughed, before charging at angered super saiya-jin.

            Gohan cradled his little brother closer to his chest as he floated to the ground. Chibi Trunks and Goten were out for the count that was for sure. Even if they regained consciousness in the next twenty-five minutes, it was unlikely they'd be fit to fight.

            "Gohan!" Chi-Chi called, running over to her son, Bulma and Videl following behind. "What happened to Goten?!"

            "He and Trunks got hit by a blast, Mom," Gohan explained, putting the unconscious Goten into her arms. "Take them and get out of here. It's not safe for you three to stick around any longer."

            "I agree. This is getting uglier by the minute and if you stay any longer you have a one in a hundred chance of surviving." Mirai Trunks added, carefully placing Chibi Trunks in his mother's arms.

            "But Trunks-kun! If you and Gohan can't turn into super saiya-jins, what chance do you have of surviving?!" Bulma demanded, looking horror struck.

            "Not very high up there, but we'll make it," Mirai said, giving her a thumbs up. "I survived the androids and I'm going to make it through this. You can count on it."

            "Yeah, Mom," Gohan added, noticing his mother's pale face. "We're not the sons of Goku and Vegeta for nothing, you know."

            "Gohan, you be careful! And look after your father!" Chi-Chi called, running towards the door and kicking it open with her foot, Bulma sprinting behind her.

            Only Videl remained now, torn between following the women and staying with Gohan and risking her chances.

            "Videl, that goes for you too," Gohan said seriously.

            "I know, Gohan, I know…" she sighed. "My fighting spirit says stay here and risk it, but my brain's telling me otherwise."

            "Just go, Videl. If something happened to you, I'd…" he trailed off, looking deeply in her eyes.

            "All right, I'll go. But you have to promise something, Son Gohan."

            "What…?"

            Videl took a step towards him, wrapped an arm around his neck, and kissed him fully on the lips. She broke it only after a few seconds; knowing time was of the essence.

            "That'll you come back to me in one piece," she said, smirking at the shocked look on Gohan's face.

            "I promise, Videl."

            She smiled at him, before turning around and running out of the auditorium.

            "Oh….wow…" Gohan mumbled, still shocked. Videl had kissed him! How in the world had they gotten this close in just a few days?!

            "Come on, lover boy," Mirai Trunks teased, grabbing Gohan by the scruff of his neck and uprooting him from his spot. "We've got to practice this little fusion of ours."

            Frieza's non-apparent eyebrows rose mischievously as he caught part of this statement. So, we're these boys going to try a fusion as well? The corners of his lips twitched as a smirk began to form on his face.

            Too bad they wouldn't get that far. He would personally make sure that.

            Cell was getting angry. Damn Gogeta! He was just too powerful! If he wasn't careful, this stupid fusion might actually kill him.

            Wait…

            Wouldn't that be a good thing?

            He had saiya-jin genes inside him, meaning if he was killed and then brought back to life, he'd only get stronger than before! And if Gogeta touched or left any skin cells on him when he died, he'd gain even more power! [1]

            Cell smirked widely as he let Gogeta land a few more punches on him. The moron didn't know what he was getting himself into.

            Gogeta frowned when he saw the smirk on Cell's face.

            'I'm beating him like there's no tomorrow and he's about to lose, so why the hell is he smirking like that?!' Gogeta thought, his brow furrowing in confusion. 'What is he planning?! He isn't stupid enough to pull another self-destruct sequence. He wouldn't get his revenge on us if he blew us to smithereens before his limit's up. So what is he going to do?!"

             

            "OK…You seriously think we can pull this off?" Gohan asked, raising an eyebrow questioningly at Mirai Trunks. "We really didn't take Gotenks' lesson as serious as Dad probably would've wanted us to…"

"So what? We've seen it done almost four times now. We know what it looks like when two people do it, we know the moves, and we know each other's power levels. If Chibi Trunks and Goten were able to pull this off in just a few days, just think what we could do!" Mirai Trunks replied. "C'mon, Gohan! You were the first fully ascended super saiya-jin! This should be cake for you!"
            "It would have been easier years ago when I was actually training," Gohan mumbled.

"Don't start getting down on yourself now! We need you in this fight! You're the only one who really intimidates Cell!" Mirai continued. "We just need to think of fusion as learning the moves of the Kamehameha Wave! That's one of the hardest moves to pull off and yet you learned it when you were what? Nine?"

"All right, Trunks, all right. I'll do the fusion, but if we screw up, we'll only be a form of entertainment for Cell," He said with a grin.

"True, but it'll be worth it!" Mirai laughed. "I need to be about ten spaces away, right?"

"Yeah, now let's do this!" Gohan replied as he a Mirai matched power levels.

"FU…" both exclaimed together, taking three steps and getting closer together. For their first time, they were actually pretty good at being in sync with each other.

"ISON…."

"I don't think so boys!!!" Frieza cackled, charging at the demi saiya-jins with a ki blast in hand. He fired at them, causing them to dodge out of the way before they could finish the fusion.

"Damnit! We almost had it!" Mirai Trunks swore, glaring at Frieza.

"Heh. Don't underestimate me, you two. I may not be as strong as Cell, but I can still put up a good fight." Frieza laughed, descending in front of Trunks and Gohan. "And I'm not about to let you fuse and try and help Gogeta!"

Gohan and Mirai Trunks looked at each other, before the both blasted off in the sky, determined to find a safer place to fuse.

"Where are you going cowards?!" Frieza exclaimed, menacingly as he took after them. "The party's just getting started!!"

'Where are those two going?!' Gogeta asked himself, as he watched the two fly off. 'Not like I'll need them, but it would be nice to know where the hell they're leading Frieza too!'

"What's the matter Gogeta? Courage diminished without any audience around to watch you or perhaps help you out?" Cell asked tauntingly.

Gogeta snorted with disgust and spit on the ground. "I don't need their help, especially to deal with some weakling like you. You want to know something else? I didn't even need to power up to super saiya-jin to defeat you. I'm not even using half my power the way it is! I'm just doing it for show!"

"What a way to bluff yourself out of this mess, Gogeta. I bet you couldn't even kill me if you tried." Cell replied, smirking. All he had to do was push a certain amount of buttons and Gogeta would fall into his trap. "Or is it because you can't kill me? Are getting too soft, Gogeta? Are you letting the Goku side take over you?"

Gogeta frowned darkly and walked over to Cell. "You're asking for your death wish. I'm more Vegeta than you'll ever know."

"Prove it,"

"Damn! We'll never be able to fuse with him following after us!" Gohan exclaimed, looking over his shoulder to see Frieza close on their tails. "And we're involving innocents into this mess as well!"

"Obvisouly he can't control his urge for destruction," Mirai Trunks replied, grimacing as Frieza blasted a building full of people out of his way and then stopped to torture more humans. "Looks like we'll be taking a little trip to Namek after this over with…"

"I'm tired of running! Trunks, we're going to fuse now and get this over with!" Gohan instructed, stopping in mid-flight. Trunks stopped as well and looked at Gohan. "We can do it while he's busy! By the time he catches on, it'll be too late to stop us!"

"All right, Gohan." Trunks replied. "But we have to find a solid spot to fuse! There's no way we'd be able to do this in the air!"

"Down there!" Gohan said, pointing to a patch of grass in a park. "Let's go!"

Mirai Trunks nodded and followed after Gohan.

Frieza looked up from the humans he was killing and spotted the boys in the grass preparing to do a fusion. He smirked. Did they honestly think they would get away that easily from Frieza, overlord of the universe?

"This is going to be the last mistake you punks have ever made!!" he called, charging up a red ki ball. It crackled as Frieza continued to pump more energy into it. Those brats weren't getting away without being burnt to a crisp first.

"…Shit…" Trunks swore. "If we don't stop him and he misses, it could be the end for the Earth!!"

"Right!" Gohan replied. He put his palms by the side of his face and yelled, "Solar Flare!!"

Trunks quickly covered his eyes before the blinding flash of light covered the area. Frieza wasn't as lucky.

"Damn you!" he shrieked. The ki blast stopped it's formation and disappeared completely as Frieza used his hands to rub his blinded eyes.

"Let's do it!" Trunks commanded.

"Yeah!" Gohan agreed, getting set into the first pose of the fusion.

"FU…SION…HAA!!!!"

Frieza's eyes recovered in time to see this particular fusion appearing for the first and the last time he would be needed.

The fusion looked at himself in satisfaction. He was wearing the same outfit as Gotenks and Gogeta as it was obvisouly part of recognizing a fusion. His facial features were very different from the others, however. He had Gohan's mouth, Trunks' nose, and Trunks' crystal blue eyes, darkened a bit by Gohan's coloring. He had Trunks' hair, only it was black with an inch of purple on the ends and one spike of pure black hair that started at the peak of his forehead and went down to his black eyebrows.

Frieza floated a few inches back, his face a mess of emotions, hatred and fear being the two that the fusion recognized the most. He glowered at Frieza before pointing at himself.

"I am," the fusion began with his merged voice. "Trohan, the unnecessary fusion."

"It'll be my pleasure," Gogeta replied, smirking. He placed one had over Cell's heart and began to charge up a ki blast. "Hold still and maybe this won't hurt as much as I imagine it will."

Cell mirrored Gogeta's smirk right before he felt the ki blast tear through him and then there was nothing. His form went limp and his eyes rolled back in his head. Gogeta took a step back away from Cell's still standing body and let it crumple to the ground.

"Stupid android." Gogeta mumbled, stepping on Cell's lifeless head and grinding it under his heel. "I can't wait to play with him some more when he comes back to life...What the…?!" He turned his head in the direction of where the new fusion ki was coming from, not noticing Cell's right arm twitch. "Gohan and Mirai Trunks fused? But they barely had time to learn it! Amazing!"

Gogeta wasn't amazed for long, however, when he felt Cell's hand gain a strong grip on his ankle, and pulling him down to the ground. The fusion landed with an 'oomph!' of surprise, but didn't stay on the ground for long because in the next second Cell stood up and flung Gogeta into the last remaining wall of the theater, which in turn collapsed on him.

            Gogeta reappeared a second later, climbing out of the pile of destruction and dusted himself off. He looked around for Cell, but couldn't find him until the android landed a hard punch on his unprotected right cheek. Gogeta went flying and then skidded to a stop momentarily.

            "Ow," he muttered, rubbing his cheek. "I guess he means business this time. Oh, well. More fun for me."

            "Correction, Gogeta." Cell mocked. "It's going to be more fun for me this time. I think it's time I remind you I have saiya-jin cells in me, which only grow stronger every time I get defeated. I'm sure you boys know that very well. And as an addition to that power upgrade, there's also another wonderful aspect of my programming that I'm sure Goku's dying to remember."

            Gogeta's brows furrowed in confusion before he realized what Cell was talking about.

            "…Bastard!! You absorbed my powers!!"

                                    -----------------------------------

And it the plot gets even better! Yes, you all guessed correct, Gohan and Mirai Trunks were the next fusion that I planned! I liked the name Trohan better than all the other names I tried out(which included Gorunks) and it fit the fusion better. ^-^ I promise in the next chapter Trohan will have more action time.

[1]- Remember when Cell came back from the dead at the Cell Games and he learned Goku's Instant Transmission technique and stayed in his final form? Well that's what he did with Gogeta, so now our saiya-jin buddies have a whole lot of trouble to deal with!

Next Chapter: Uh….*sweatdrop* Nothing's planned yet, but it's about the last few hours Cell and Frieza have on Earth!!
