With the last Cell Jr. Gohan's leg was still in the air, he looked like he was a statue, frozen and unchanged, but he slowly lowered his leg and rested his hands by his side. He peered around and then lifted his right hand in the air, catching the senzu beans without even looking. He closed his eyes for a brief second, then examined the Cell Jrs. that now slowly got back up on their feet. Their bodies were now bleeding and two of the Cell Jrs. had twisted ankles. Gohan smiled as he lifted his arms in the air and released a wave of energy powerful enough to knock the weaken Cell Jrs. off their feet and into the air or ground. Their screams subsided as they landed face first in the dirt.
"He just blew all those creatures away with nothing but his energy!" Vegeta again stated. Everything about Gohan was unbelievable, he just couldn't get his head round it, but secretly, he wanted it. The young saiyan's amazing ability surpassing not only Vegeta and Goku but also Cell's as well was well beyond anything they could image. Vegeta, craving for this newfound power was becoming ever more derisible and Vegeta had already planned a whole new training program in his head to reach such a goal, if he survived.
"And look at him…" Trunks began to say, interrupting his father's thoughts, after examining Gohan on a closer look. "He's perfectly claim! Its like he hasn't even warmed up yet!" Trunks was sure that Gohan was in control of the battle, but he had the feeling that so much power in a young boy was bad and that the power could be clouding Gohan's better judgment.
Piccolo flew along the cliff face, tracing the energy pattern of his worn out friend, Goku. Upon reaching the top he was met with Goku, lying motionless on his belly just staring down at the battle that raged on below. Piccolo gave a grunt, landing next to his fallen comrade and adding him to his feet.
"Goku?" Piccolo lifted the worn saiyan to his feet. "Are you alright?" Goku didn't answer straight away. The wounds that were inflected to his body were great and slowly took its toll on him. He breathed rather quickly and his voice was silent, almost like a whisper instead of his strong, cheerful tone. Goku clutched at his chest, grabbing the torn uniform around his heart.
"Yeah…I'm alright" Goku gave a cough. He was in really bad shape, fighting at this point would have killed him. Goku peered down at his torn and beaten up body. The uniform he wore was in shreds and his whole physical structure felt out of place. Goku glanced at the surrounding. The landscape was as scared as he was, maybe even less. Goku soften his eyes as he watched his son fight. "Didn't I tell you so Piccolo…he going to do it"
Piccolo narrowed his eyes. Even with the confidence in the beaten saiyan, Piccolo didn't really believe Goku's words. Sure, Gohan had released his full power but why wasn't he finishing them off? Piccolo felt like Gohan was taking his time, toying with Cell and the Cell Jrs. he felt unsure and maybe even a bit worried that Gohan could make a bad mistake, which cost them dear…Piccolo shook his head clear and remain focus on the situation at hand.
"Gohan…"
From the rocky ground that was created from Gohan's energy, the dust picked up and blew over the terrain. The lifeless Cell Jrs. stayed statue-like as the sand and dust slowly covered their body. Their bodies, bleeding and bruised rendered them helpless. Their eyes were clear, almost dead like and their breath was slow and soft.
Suddenly, with what strength was left a fist broke through the ground, revealing one of the Cell Jrs. It stood up slowly, shaking its head clear of the rocks that compiled on top of its wrecked and weak body. As if a signal, the other Cell Jrs. began to wake from their weaken state. Their beaten body rattled with pain, felt like giving out any minute if weren't given the proper rest, leaving them even more helpless. But stubborn as they were, they couldn't bring themselves to that decision in a fight, no way.
The Cell Jrs. after their resurrection, gather slowly and clumsy around Gohan once again in their circle tactic. Gohan, even though his expression were depleted, he admitted that the Cell Jrs. weren't giving up, even if they knew they were beat, they'll fight to the death a treat that resembles Vegeta when he was in his pride and even still.
"AAHH!!" One of the Cell Jrs. screamed before it's jumped in the air, raising its strong left hand to the sky. The other Cell Jrs. spread out among the terrain, some even taking underground as a good fighting tactic. Gohan remain unmoved. In the palm of the small Cell Jr's hand glowed a tiny and almost useless disk due to lack of energy lift within the creation of Cell. Feeding what energy it could spare it created Krillin's special 'Discurto Disk' attack, feeling completely drained and tired to even throw the disk, the Cell Jr. gave a wimpy toss. The disk flew above the ground about three feet high, levelled enough to cut Gohan at the knees.
Sensing the disk's approach, Gohan simply flew out of the away, heading straight in the clouds. Suddenly a pair of Cell Jrs. escorted Gohan in flight, overtaking the young saiyan and preparing to attack him while he was still moving.
One of the Cell Jr. placed its hands out in front, bring them to its side after getting aim on its target and began to build a small but powerful blue attack. The other Cell Jr. placed its middle and index finger to its forehead, gathering energy at the tips of its nails. The Cell Jrs. smirked wickedly as their blast powered up, slightly chuckle in delight at their attack plan.
"Kamhamaha…"
"Special Beam Cannon…"
Both Cell Jrs finished powering their copied attacks, smiles drawn on their faces as they threw their hands directly at the unstoppable Gohan. The two blasts flew from their hands and imploded on Gohan; Gohan didn't even try to stop them nor attempt to. The two same Cell Jrs appeared above the explosion, their hands formed in a triangle shape.
"TRI…BEAM…HA!" The Cell Jrs. yelled in a high squeaky tone. Two bright orange beams shot forth from their triangular shaped hands, which help in increasing the explosion and power of the previous two blasts. The explosion caused by the combined attack cause a flash of white light, which spread out along the sky like water, and slowly the whole sky became white but for only a brief second.
"Wow!" a small soft voice spoke, from among another set of cliff further away from the battlefield. "They're amazing, not like anything I've seen before in my lifetime!"
"Calm down young fairy…" The small pink healing fairy spun around, almost startled at the sudden break of silence.
"Link?!" They fairy sped towards the weary warrior. The small Fairy noticed that her magic was still at work, clearing and restoring Link's body. The Fairy made one more pass around Link, spreading her healing dust over him. "You're awake! You should be resting now! Your not fully healed" the fairy stated in a worried voice, seeing some of Link's wounds reopening.
"I'm fine, really I am…" Link paused in mid sentence as he wounded shoulder silenced him. Link grabbed the blood-covered shoulder, wounds reappearing all over. The stinging of wounds crippled the warrior, forcing him to sit down. Link sighed and motions the small pink fairy to his aid.
"What I tell you Link!" The small fairy said, sounding very knowledgeable in her field of work. Link chuckled and returned to silence after a good five seconds. The dust fallen from the fairy again resealed Link's wounds, now working faster that he wasn't moving about. Once finished the fairy flew in front of Link's face, waiting for Link to recapture her. But Link just sat there, his head hung down over his knees. "Link?"
Link slowly raised his head from his knees; his face was dawn with sorrow.
"This shouldn't have happen…none of it at all," Link muttered, his lips only softly touching.
"What shouldn't have happen Link?" the fairy asked. Link didn't respond nor look at her. "Link!?" Link's eyes were focused beyond her, at the battle beyond, but slowly shifted to the glowing fairy.
"As I laid unconsciousness, after my fight with Cell, I began to see things…images, visions…" Link glared up at beyond the fairy to the battle behind her. There was a quick smile before he returned to the fairy. "He's really strong now… I'm impressed"
"Who is Link…you mean Gohan? Link answers me!" The small fairy didn't understand. She was maybe too young to understand anything, but she knew enough.
Suddenly there came a burst of bright lights as the cloud that exploded around Gohan lifted. There came many screams from the Cell Jrs, but rather quickly the screams subsided until there was an unnatural peaceful silence.
"Gohan…" Link whispered in a pleased manor. "These Saiyans, what powerful allies they can become" Link smiled and grabbed a bottle from his tunic but did not open it, the sun's reflected in his eyes from the glass surface. "I changed everything, when I came here, small differences but still they can have a major affect"
"What did you do exactly?" they small fairy asked, flying to the lid.
"I can't explain it now…but I will try later" Link yanked at the cork and popped open its empty contents, allowing the small healing fairy back inside. Link placed the bottled fairy back inside his tunic and stood up boldly, staring at Gohan just standing still. Link closed his eyes and frowned.
It's too late for it now… I can't change their past. But I now know when I leave they won't remember me; the sages will make sure of that I bet. To risky, even for them.
Those images, visions, everyone I have meet here I've change the future, their future, not major though but still slightly off course.
Gohan should have reached his full power by now and should have finished Cell off. I'm just delaying here, but still everything will work out. I'm just going to have to finish this now. I've seen the past, the present and now the future…Goku, what power you will grasp, but what terrible things will follow.
You Saiyans… every time you survive a battle your power grows. Soon, you will be as you once were…the most feared race in the universe. Good luck you guys. You too Vegeta, and everyone else!
Link opened his eyed, and took a deep breath. His eyes cast across the vast terrain towards Cells. Link couldn't help but feel petty, for such a creature, who's life was now going to be crashed as he as seen in the future. Link bet his newfound 'foresight' was thanks to the sages, a handy gift indeed. Unsure why he was given the power to see into the future, he continued with his plan.
"I'll finish this… my way!"
Gohan stood firm; his face unchanged. Around the young saiyan was bits and pieces of the destroyed Cell Jrs, all seven scattered about the rugged terrain becoming nothing more them dust in the wind. Gohan didn't move or make any sounds, he was too focus on the task at hand, but insured he was making a mockery out of the so-called all powerful Cell, who he could only bet was madder then ever.
"Pass these around Trunks!" Gohan shouted, tossing the small bag towards the future traveller. Trunks just grabbed hold of the bag as it almost passed by him. Quickly examining the bag, Trunks flew off to heal his friends, first starting with those who were almost dead. Feeling somehow insulted Cell dropped his arms; he was now ready to test this power that plagued his mind.
Gohan turned his head slightly, catching the Cell in the corner of his eyes. Cell's angry expression was plastered across his face, which quickly changed to a slight smile.
"Now! This is it Gohan!"
After hearing Cells words, Gohan leaped at the monster. It only took a short amount of time for Gohan to reach Cell over large distance, thanks to his speed. "YES!" Cell shouted swinging his fist into the young saiyan's…
The fist cleared straight through Gohan's face, but made no contact. Cell narrowed his eyes as he realized Gohan created a shadow, a copy of himself to fool Cell, which it did. Cell frowned as his gaze found Gohan floating miles away in the sky.
Enraged, Cell flew straight towards Gohan, the distance between the two warriors closing. Gohan ready his fist and quickly jabbed into…
A shadow image. Cleary Cell was a fast learner and used Gohan's own technique to fool Gohan, except Gohan wasn't as infuriated as Cell was.
"Its like Gohan… isn't even trying!" Trunks said, coming to a halt in front of Goku and Piccolo, finishing his rounds with the senzu beans. The three warriors stared up in amazement at Gohan's newfound abilities.
"Huh… now I get it!" Piccolo broke the silent that was surrounding the three. Both Goku and Trunks stared at Piccolo, but Piccolo didn't look down at the two, but kept watching Gohan and Cell. "Yes. I was wondering why you fought Cell first when you knew you couldn't win…" Piccolo dropped his head, a smile present on his green face. "You went first so Gohan could see how Cell fought, to learns as much of Cell's moves as possible…didn't you Goku?"
"Is that true Goku?" Trunks asked, after hearing Piccolo's explanation. Goku smiled and lifted his head up, to again watch the fight.
