Chapter 20:Till the Day We Meet Again

The enormous beam of white energy made its way toward the Dimensional Destroyer,radiating with the power of trillions of beings.The Dimensional Destroyer cried out in pain as the blast pierced through him.Within seconds,the attack expanded and shattered the dark evil cloud that represented Cell.

All of the creatures disappeared as mysteriously as they had appeared as Ray and Trunks fell to their hands and knees.The two were breathing heavily,having used up most of their energy.Their hair fell back to the original style and natural color as the two laughed.

"We....did it....!Despite everything,Cell's finally gone!!"Trunks exclaimed.

Ray looked up at the sky,a slight smile on his face,"I told you he wouldn't get away with it,Sarah!"

Trunks let out a cough,"I don't have any energy left after that...We'll have to find a way back to Kibitoshin's planet without flying."

They nodded and,slowly,stood up.They leaned against each other for support,laughing at their own weakness.One step at a time,they stumbled across the ground.They eventually made it to the light red portal and laughed once more.

*~Not....so fast!~*

The True Legendary Ones stopped,afraid to turn around.They repeated to themselves that it was just a trick,but still turned.What they saw made them gasp.

There stood Cell,larger than before.He towered over them as if they were ants.A large gash could be seen in the middle of his chest,slowly regenerating itself.The Dimensional Destroyer held out his hands,an all too familiar dark energy gathering in his palms.

*~I still have to send your spirits away!!~*

Having lost all of their energy in the last attack,Ray and Trunks could only stare in fear as the dark energy closed in,eventually enveloping them.

"HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!NOTHING CAN PROTECT YOU AGAINST ME ANYMORE!"

His laughter was silenced as the dark energy disappeared.Instead of only shells remaining,the True Legendary Ones floated in the air where they had once stood.

*~I-I....Impossible....~*the Dimensional Destroyer trailed off,shaking in fear,*~Even in your Omega forms....that should have sent your spirits to another dimension!!~*

The two heroes shook their heads and,without ever speaking another word,began to gather more energy.Where it came from,not even they knew.But one thing was for certain,it would be enough to send Cell to Limbo.

With fear in his eyes,Cell fired his own blasts at them.Hundreds of lethal energy balls collided with them,but they never showed any signs of noticing it.With shouts of rage,the True Legendary Ones released all of their stored sadness,anger,and frustration in two beams of energy.

"How long have they been standing there like that?"

Kibitoshin shrugged,"At least a week,Gohan.They haven't said anything either.Just stood there,staring off into the distance."

"It's understandable.Ray lost the one person he held closest to him.Trunks must be receiving some of his emotions,because they're linked by this odd dimensional web we've formed with each other,"Fang said.

Gohan nodded,"I remember how I was when Cell self-destructed when I was eleven.Dad died,and I didn't know what to do.Mom was pregnant,I had to study constantly,and Piccolo and Vegeta tried to get me to train.One day,I just snapped and destroyed an entire mountain range."

"Oh my,Gohan!I never heard that story!"Kibitoshin exclaimed.

"Eheh....That's because the mom I know in my dimension doesn't know either!I'm still scared she'll find out,even if she is in a different dimension,"Gohan chuckled nervously.

In the week after Cell,or the Dimensional Destroyer,was defeated,the original True Legendary Ones recreated the dimensions that had been absorbed.In the Dimension of Dragons,the Eternal Dragons returned all those that weren't dead before Cell's return back to life without any recollection of what had happened.But,surprisingly to Ray,the Dragons were unable to bring Sarah back.So now,he and Trunks simply stared into the distance,never moving.Though Trunks would sometimes break out of his trance,Ray seldom even glanced at the others.

"I'm surprised they haven't snapped yet.If they did,we might all join Cell in Limbo.Knowing them,they'd fight each other and we'd be caught in the middle,"Gohan stated.

"You're probably right,"Fang agreed,"At least they have a larger amount of control than you did."

The Saiyan grinned and scratched the back of his neck,a familiar Son gesture,wishing he hadn't brought up the mountain incident.

Everyone present gasped as Ray and Trunks both disappeared.No one had expected it.But regardless of their surprise,they were somehow transported to the Dimension of Dragons,leaving only Kibitoshin and the Elder Kai.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?WE HAVE ALREADY RETURNED THOSE THAT WERE KILLED BACK TO LIFE,"Shenrunga snarled.

"But we have a request!!"Ray shouted,"After all we've done,we expect these two things in return!"

Shenrunga's throat rumbled slightly as he appeared deep in thought,"THIS IS TRUE.THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN REPAY YOU TWO FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR EVERY CREATURE IN EXISTENCE.TELL ME,WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WISH?"

"We wish for the Android parts in Android Eighteen to be removed so she can once again be a human,but allow her to keep her strength and abilities,"Trunks said clearly.

The Eternal Dragon's red eyes brightened,"IT HAS BEEN DONE.WHAT ELSE?"

"For our last request...."Ray trailed off,sighing eventually,"We wish that all those before you,including Buu on Earth,are sent to a different timeline.One where my father,Zaffiroth,never went to Earth and burned Spyroton into ashes.Ashley's mother and father never brought her into the dimension I'm from.Mirai never went to Earth.Android Twenty Two,Borory,was never created.Babidi never existed in this dimension,nor Bibidi.The Dragonballs only exist in Trunks's dimension.And Cell never heard of the Dimensional Destroyer.We also request that Trunks,Gohan,Videl,and Vegito are sent back to there original dimension and time."

"THIS WISH WILL DIVIDE MANY CLOSE FRIENDS.IT WILL ALSO TAKE THE ONE KNOWN AS SARAH TO THE TIMELINE YOU REQUEST.ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO GO THROUGH WITH IT?"

There were excited whispers from the others as Ray and Trunks looked back at them.

"All the pain we've been through....we won't remember any of it,"Ray said.

"Do any of you disagree?"Trunks asked.

Everyone looked around at each other.With slight frowns,they shook their heads.

"All right then.Shenrunga,do as we requested,"Ray stated.

The Dragon's eyes glowed once more,"IT HAS BEEN DONE.STEP THROUGH THE PORTAL TO GO TO YOUR RESPECTIVE PLACES."

A portal appeared under the large Shenrunga.They all said their goodbyes,occasionally getting teary eyed.Some hugged,others shook hands,but no matter how they said it,they would all miss one another.After everyone walked through the portals,it was down to Ray and Trunks.They went to shake each others hand,smiling at their dimensional other.

They both sighed,"Why not?"

With that,they shared a quick hug and stepped away from each other,turning their backs.

"I...uh....got something in my eye,"Ray said,wiping his eyes.

"Yeah.....Uh...Me too,"Trunks replied,doing the same thing.

After nodding to each other,they stepped through the portal and were carried away to their respective places in the dimensions.
