I didn't think anyone was reading this story since I only got one review last chapter, not the 5+ like the previous one. I still have to upload chapters at school or my cousin's house, though.
"Triple Threat"
Chapter 15: "A Few Minutes of Glory"
"No, this can't be the end! Gohan, get up!" Videl yelled. Bulma held her back so she wouldn't run out. Chichi was too scared to move or shout. She was scared that Cell would kill Gohan. Goten and Trunks were worried. Everyone else was, too.
Cell was closer to Gohan. He was now preparing an energy blast that could kill everyone in a mile radius if it ht.
Vegeta realized what would happen. "What? That blast could kill us all!" He quickly tried to fly out and stop Cell but then Cell blasted him with his free hand. Vegeta was knocked to the ground, since he was still weak from his earlier fight with Cell.
Cell continued powering up the blast.
Gohan opened his eyes to see Cell coming at him. No... that hit...
-flashback-
"Ka...Me...Ha...Me...Ha!" Cell quickly advanced toward him and knocked Gohan to the ground, stopping him from forming the blast.
-end of flashback-
The way he hit me... I underestimated him. Then he heard a voice. A female voice. Videl!
"...if Gohan dies again, I'm going with him!" Videl shouted, standing in front of him. Gohan could hear his mother and the others yelling for Videl to come back.
Gohan lay there, weak from Cell's attack. And they were all about die. Because of him. Because he had grown weaker than Cell.
Then suddenly he felt a new power. In an instant, he moved in front of Videl and held the enormous ball of energy.
"What?" Cell exclaimed. "It's supposed to destroy you!"
"The power..." Vegeta said in awe. "His energy level is enormous!"
"G-Gohan?" Videl looked up into his eyes. They were filled with anger and hate. They had the desire to kill. He also had yellow hair, but it was long, past his waist. He didn't even acknowledge that he heard her.
"The boy's turned into a Super Saiyan 3!" Vegeta yelled.
"What?" Yamcha asked. "A Super Saiyan 3? I've never heard of that."
Goten smiled and jumped up. "Yay! Gohan can beat Cell to pulp! Go, Gohan!"
After a few moments, Gohan was able to throw the energy back into space. "Videl..." Gohan said, his voice rough and harsh. "Go... Get away from here. It's too dangerous for you. Let me handle Cell."
Videl gasped. That was what he said back in the sewer. And he wound up getting hurt! "No, Gohan! I won't leave you this time! If you have to die again, I'll go with you. Nothing will ever separate us again."
Videl... Gohan thought. Cell just laughed and said sarcastically. "How touching. 'Gohan, I love you. I care so much about you.' " Cell mocked Videl. Gohan picked Videl up and threw her to the others. "Stay there, Videl!" He looked back at Cell. "Prepare to die! Ka...Me...Ha...Me...Ha!"
Cell quickly used his own to try and push it back.
Videl stood up and started running toward Gohan, but Yamcha held her back. "Let Gohan fight his own battle."
"The events seven years ago are repeating themselves." Vegeta commented.
"Then that means my baby will win!" Chichi shrieked in delight.
Videl absorbed their words and came to a realization.
-flashback-
"Videl, hate to break it to you, but your father didn't defeat Cell."
"What?"
"I don't want to make anyone angry, so I'm not going to say anything. You'll have to ask Gohan about his past."
-end of flashback-
"What Yamcha said... It was Gohan. Gohan was that little boy who beat Cell seven years ago!"
Yamcha nodded and smiled.
Videl watched Gohan. Was this the same boy who she thought was a nerd in the beginning? This boy who had revenge in his eyes?
"Videl?" Yamcha broke her gaze. "You better get in the house before a stray energy hits you."
"What? Do you think I'm weak?"
"Shut up. girl." Vegeta knocked her unconcious with one hit.
Gohan yelled as he struggled. Cell was losing, but still able to put up a fight.
"Gohan, you can do it!" Goten yelled. The others shouted words of encouragement also.
"It seems they like you." Cell said.
"They do." Gohan replied. "And... that's why I'm going to destroy you!" He gave off more energy. Soon, the energy overpowered Cell and he was destroyed. Gohan powered down.
"Videl. Videl." Gohan whispered to the sleeping girl.
She woke up slowly. "Gohan!" She quickly jumped up and hugged him.
Without warning, she pulled him out of the door and started flying away. Gohan followed her, wondering why she did that, leaving everyone else dumbfounded.
I know, Gohan going SS3 is kind of cliche. I don't plan on having him go SS3 in the sequel, but if more people want him SS3, then I can write it in. Thanks!
