Okay, sorry for the delay, and no, this is not Hikari, this is her friend, moving on I present the ninth chapter-

*Crash!*

Gotenks:*Comes running out of a room.* It wasn't me! Honest! *goes running off.*

... Whatever... getting back on track-

Cell:You ***** BRAT! I Am Going To Kill YOU!!!" *Cell comes running out, pink from head to toe with bright purple crests and silver spots and chases after Gotenks.*

o.o; ...... Somehow I know this is all going to come back to me. Also, I missed some of the episodes in the Cell saga... so please forgive this writer if somethings are out of order. Also I skipped the four Cells part, that was the reason this chapter was being a pain to write.

Disclaimer: I do not own a thing and that includes Dragon Ball Z, any of the songs nor this plot.
Claimer: I own Rally. And three muses bent on driving me mad...
Best Song: Easier To Run by Linkin Park.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Goku watched Cell cautiously, both had taken heavy damage, but Cell was able to regenerate and was less likely to keel over where as Goku as in great need for a senzu bean.

Glancing out of the corner of his eyes he saw Gohan, next to him was Trunks and to the side Rally, all three were cheering him on, well the latter was in an argument with Hercule and who really was the strongest, Goku or the arrogent egotistical, oh wait that was Vegeta... Goku snapped his attention back to Cell before holding out a hand.

"Enough, this is pointless, we'll get no farther in this battle, but there is one fighter that I know will be more then a match for you." Goku stated with much confadince as he let his power level drop, Cell scowled as he turned his red eyes back to Goku.

"Surely you are joking Goku, none of those fighters are even strong enough to stand against me for five seconds let alone five minutes."

Goku chuckled softly as he turned around. "Trust me on this one Cell." Goku asured the bio android as he IT'd over to the other fighters.

"Gohan." Goku started as he walked over to his son before kneeling before him. "I need you to do this one thing for me. I know you are strong enough to fight Cell-"

"What!?" Piccolo shouted out at Goku before grabbing the Saiyan by the shoulder and glared at him. "What did you just say?" Piccolo hissed out, in an utter rage.

Goku looked Piccolo in the eye as he said this next, so only the Namek could hear this. "Piccolo, trust me, Gohan is the only one with the power to defeat Cell right now, you have to believe me on this."

Piccolo glanced away but let the Saiyan go, Goku glanced at Gohan. "Well, get going son, you have a tough battle ahead of you." Goku stated as he pushed Gohan gently on the back, towards the battle field, Gohan looked up at his father in horror as to what the older fighter was doing, Gohyan didn't want to fight! He just wanted to watch his father fight, why was his father doing this!? Gohan wasn't as strong as he was!

"Bu-" Gohan's pleas fell on deaf ears as Goku dissapeared with him before reappearing back on the sidelines.

Rally turned from arguing with Hercule to turn her full attention to the battle that was about to begin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gohan trembled violently, but he stood his ground. Chewing on his lower lip he watched as Cell looked him up and down before scowling. "You are even weaker than your father, and he expects you to be a match for me?"

Gohan swallowed, but he wasn't about to be stepped on. "You're nothing compared to us! All you are isn't even something I wan't to think about!" Gohan exclaimed as he powered up fully, Cell only smirked at what Gohan had said.

"Oh, and what is this description of me that you don't want to think about?" Cell asked with an evil smirk, but the answer came from the sidelines.

"You're an arrogent asshole!" Rally yelled out for Gohan before continueing, ignoring the glare Cell shot her as she forged ahead. "Kusottare Bakayaro!" Rally spat out in japanese for good measure, Cell only gave the girl a scathing glare before turning the same red eyes back to Gohan, with a smirk on his face. "I take it the girl has voiced what you thought?" The android asked calmly.

Gohan nodded his head once, Cell laughed, acctualy laughed before giving a short snort and turned his full attention back to righting the brat before him.

-Before this is over, I will have that girl dead by my hands.- Cell thought before charging Gohan.

Gohan cried out as he hopped back, narrowly dodging the swings Cell sent his way, growling under his breath Cell powered up farther and landed a punch to Gohan's gut, sending the small fighter flying into a boulder, the rock exploded from the force of the landing.

Cell barked out a laugh before he turned to Goku. "So that was your best fighter?" The Bio Android demanded from the Saiyan, Goku just ignored the android as he watched the dust cloud and smiled as he saw a figure in the dust and rubble.

The Bio Android growled and whirled around, glareing at Gohan, damn it he wanted to destroy that girl for all of the trouble she had caused him!

"Brat, you should have stayed down."

Gohan just breathed in and out tiredly as he watched Cell power up and charge him, the kid closed his eyes and turned his head, he didn't want to do what his father had told him to do, he didn't want to unleash his powers, all of that anger and hatred he felt when he did, Gohan didn't like it, he didn't like to fight and kill like the others, he just liked sparing with Mr. Piccolo and his father.

Five seconds before Cell's fist conected with Gohans face, a hand stopped it.

"Wha?... You." Cell hissed out as he landed and glared at the fighter that had formed between him and the whelp. golden colored hair waved behind her as aquamarine eyes glared at him. "I will not let you kill any others Cell. Not so long as I can stand up to you." Rally declared as she powered a Ki blast up, the orb took shape, yellow and electric blue weaved around and through eachother as Rally held the sphere.

Cell smirked as he powered his own attack up. "My dear, you have no idea how powerless you really are compared to me." Rally laughed as he finished before she pushed more power into another sphere in her left hand. "That may be so Cell, but that won't stop me from fighting you." Rally comented offhandedly, trying to not look over at the other fighters, she had realized that this might not have ended like the writers of the show in her dimension had done it, she realized Cell could kill Gohan, evil might win.

Rally was not going to let that happen while she still had a breath in her body, she owed these people her life for what they had done for her, and she owed it to her town that he had destroyed, too avenge them and their deaths by his hands with Cell's demise with her own two hands.

With no warning Cell charged Rally, hitting her in the face and gut, she threw both Ki blasts, Cell dodged both as he appeared behind Rally and hit her in the back, she landed and skidded like a rock along the floor, Cell smirked as he was about to step on her head and crush it when 16 appeared and hit him away from the girl.

"I may not have been able to save 18, but I will not let you kill this girl while I am alive." 16 said as he eyed Cell, the latter android scoffed at the remark 16 had made. "16, you are no more alive than that rock over there." Cell said with dry humor in his voice as he started to advance, 16 looked at the girl behind him before he charged Cell, the android was stunned and didn't know how to react at first before he started to struggle.

"No! 16!"

"Goodbye Gohan." 16 said calmly as he started to activate his explosives, but after a few seconds nothing happened, Cell chuckled as 16 started to try it again, Cell was not worrying anymore as he headbutted 16, forcing the android to let go, with an evil smirk he blasted the android to bits, Gohan screamed in furry as his power level rose, Cell just batted the small warrior away but then suddenly smiled. Evily.

-If that is what it takes to get him to power up...- With a chuckle full of malice, Cell concentrated his Ki before his tail stretched and opened up, and he spat up seven Cell Jr.s

Rally, from her position on the ground could only stare in horror as one advanced on her while the rest zoomed off to fight the others, the madly giggling blue mini Cell stalked closer to Rally.

"Go away you little fuck." Rally spat out, cursing as her body ignored her orders and didn't move.

The Cell Jr. just giggled somemore as he stopped before Rally, and grabbed her by her now steel blue hair and lifted her up and started to drag her, he laughed when he suddenly slammed her into a rock, and then the floor, throwing her away he watched how she hit the dry desert floor and bounced slightly.

"Stop." Gohan whispered, Cell turned his head slightly, a smirk forming on his face.

A Cell Jr punched his father in the gut, the Saiyan groaned and fell to his knees, as another kicked him in the head, Goku's eyes rolled back and he fell on his face, Piccolo turned and cursed as he tried to help the fallen warrior, but the Cell Jr. that was fighting him wouldn't let up, and pushed the Saiyan back, just as a Cell Jr. was about to finish Goku off Trunks appeared and batted them away with his sword before moving on to help Rally, he hit the monster away from Rally and actualy growled while narrowing his eyes at it, the thing glared and muttered under it's breath before charging Trunks, the Demi-Saiyan ducked, but never saw the other one as it hit him with a blast of Ki to his face and side, Trunks cried out before he was blasted in the back, losing his grip on his sword as he fell forward, it fell with a dull clunck as he fell beside Rally, both Saiyans knocked out and near death.

"Gohan." A voice started, Gohan whirled around and saw 16's head, tears formed in his eyes. "Gohan, I know you don't want to fight, but there are times where talking will not help. You must fight Cell, or everything you love will be killed."

Gohan looked up as 16 finished that sentence before looking at the android again. "But 16-"

"How touching. But really, you should know when to die." Cell spat out visiously as he walked up to the head. Giving a evil smirk of a smile as he stopped he said. "Good bye 16, may you finaly rest in pieces." The Bio Android finished before stomping the head, with a sick curnching sound, the head was destroyed, a chip flew a few feet and landed before Gohan, the little light on it blinked slowly. Cell gave a disgusted sigh before powering up a beam attack and destroyed it without a second thought.

"16." Gohan said simply, tears formed as he was overcome with shock, his glassed over eyes took in the forms of the others, Vegeta as he was barely able to keep a Cell Jr. at bay, Piccolo as he tried to keep two Cell Jr.s from himself and Gohan's father, another three beating Krillin, Tein and Yamcha up, whilethe seventh kicked Rally and Trunks around.

The tears started to fall and Gohans power started to rise, and then something snapped in the small warrior as he let out a scream filled with pain and sorrow, his hair flared as a golden light erupted around him, everyone stopped, Cell, the Jr.s, even the fighters and turned to watch as Gohan accended and surpassed SS1.

With an explosion that blew rocks the size of medium air cars away, and forced even Cell to use his Ki to stay in place, as the light dimmed and let everyone see what had happened, Gohan stood as tall as his height of four feet would allow, tears streamed down his face as he glared at Cell before dissapearing and reappearing by Trunks and Rally, without even a sound he kicked the Cell Jr. and destroyed it with one kick, bending down quickly he picked Trunks and Rally up and flew to where the others where, laying them down when he got there he ignored the Cell Jr.s as he went over to his father, looking up he turned to Krillin, but as the bald monk went for the senzu bean bag, a Cell Jr. popped out of nowhere and grabbed the bag away from the monk and flew away.

Gohan narrowed his eyes before giving chase of the blue android.

Looking behind itself, the mini Cell saw Gohan catching up, turning around with a frown he powered an attack up before launching it at Gohan, the Demi-Saiyan didn't even dodge it, the attack hit with an awesome explosion, and as the attack cleared, Gohan was no where to be seen, smirking and thinking it had won the Cell Jr. turned around, and nearly dropped the bag of Senzu beans, glareing at the android Gohan grabbed at the bag and tore it out of the blue android's grasp.

Then without a second thought Gohan destroyed that Cell Jr and turned his attention back to the bag, before throwing it at Krillin, the monk was just able to grab the high speed bag. Gohan smirked, it was an unerving sight as he looked just as cruel as Cell or the junoirs before him.

"You have no hopes of defeating me." Gohan said simply, the first words he had uttered in nearly five minutes.
