NOTE: I just want to say thank you to all of you for sticking with this story for as long as you did. This fic was my first ever Fanfiction and I'm kinda sad to see it end. Not too heartbroken, since I'm ready to just be done with it, but it has been a pleasure.
Thank you.
Review and Enjoy!
Chapter 86: Cell-Out(Part 3)
(last time on DragonBall Z Abridged...)
TRUNKS: (gets a hole blasted through his chest) Gah!
"AS IF WE COULD FORGET THAT!" Lisanna screamed.
(Vegeta gasps in shock as Trunks hits the ground)
"PERFECT" CELL: Aw, shit that was meant to Tien! That's my B! It's just so hard to parse your power levels anymore. You're all so weak!
"How the hell are you even alive!? You blew up!" Gray asked, horrified.
"That hate boner is still pumping strong," Cana muttered.
YAMCHA: Guys! Cell's back!
"Really!? No shit, Sherlock! We couldn't tell!" Laxus roared, furious.
"PERFECT" CELL: Thanks, Yamcha. But I see those shocked expressions of yours. Brains wracking over how I'm back, and better than ever! And it all lies within my body. A nucleus ever so small but frighteningly powerful and lucky me, it survived my little kamikaze. Although Goku did not... But the most important part is: my inherited Saiyan biology-thanks dads-gave me a boost in my power. Returning me not only to my perfect form, but a form even greater than before. I...am now…
YAMCHA/Happy: Perfect-er Cell!
"That's not even a word!" Carla yelled at the Tom-cat.
"Saiyan biology is such bullshit!" Minerva growled.
"PERFECT-er" CELL: Okay. Yamcha, accurate, but tone it down.
KRILLIN: Hey Gohan, if you knock him in the gut again, you think he'll pop out a second 18? Asking for a friend...
GOHAN: RrrrAAAAAHHH! (transforms back into a Super Saiyan 2) I'm not even mad you're still alive. I've got some shit to work through…
Gohan's declaration filled everyone's spirits with burning passion.
"That's right, Gohan! Kick Cell's ass for Trunks and Goku!" Natsu roared.
"PERFECT-er" CELL: Aww, is the cat in the cradle? Here, let me put you in a grave.
"Well, if we weren't being dark already," Levy winced.
(Vegeta gets over his shock and growls at "Perfect" Cell)
TRUNKS: (weakly) Help... (Vegeta gasps) Help...! Someone...help...me... Plea- Bluh-hagh! (coughs up blood as Vegeta watches in horror)
"Trunks…" Lucy covered her mouth with her hands as she watched the Future Warrior speak his final words. It broke her heart to watch the boy go limp on the ground, to have seen the boy's life and all of the trauma he had to go through. He ended up dying in a timeline that wasn't even his, away from his Mother, who he may never end up seeing again.
Natsu's growling increased to ferocious levels as he watched Trunks breathe his final breaths. The Dragon Slayer had already felt more animosity towards Cell than he had ever felt towards any of his foes in the past. He wished more than anything that he could jump through the Lacrama and beat Cell himself.
YAMCHA: Trunks! (runs up to Trunks' body) Don't worry, buddy. I've been where you are. We're gonna get you a Senzu Bean and... He's dead. He's dead... I've been there too, I guess. Although, honestly the afterlife part isn't too bad. The whole dying part of it is...haunting... Everything just kind of slows down and you feel yourself slip the mortal coil... (Vegeta clenches his fist) To this day I...still wonder if I've ever been brought back or if I'm still in the process of dying, you know?
For the Fairy Tail members who have died or almost died, they could sympathize with Yamcha's words. Death felt like such a strange concept until its hands almost clasp themselves around your throat. Constricting your breath and movement until you couldn't feel any part of your body anymore.
None of them truly grew to appreciate their own lives and the lives of those around them until they were staring death in the face.
KRILLIN: Oh my God, someone finally put it into words!
YAMCHA: Is it any easier the second time?
KRILLIN: Believe it or not, it's worse.
"You'd think you would get used to the chilling sensation of death, but the feeling would just grow tighter and tighter each time," Gildarts said.
"Yeah, I don't wish for anyone to be put in Krillin's shoes in this regard, dying in general isn't fun," Gray agreed. He could remember the sensation of a laser beam piercing right through his skull, but it still felt as if the event didn't happen. He also thought back to Ultear, and wondered just how much pain she must've been in when she died. Then, there was his Father who died in front of him twice.
"And seeing yourself die can honestly be just as bad," Lucy whispered, thinking back to her future self. Natsu stiffened a bit at the reminder of Future Lucy's death and when he had believed that his Lucy had died as well.
"Death is something that we can't avoid nor ever prepare for, which is why we should always live our lives to the fullest," Makarov said, sagely.
Gildarts smirked. "Says the old man that-"
VEGETA: MY BABY BOOOOOOY! (charges at "Perfect" Cell and turns Super Saiyan)
Everyone and I mean EVERYONE was pushed back by the raw energy and emotion that Vegeta had exploded with. They were so caught up in everything else that they had given little attention to the reaction of the Saiyan Prince. They all stared slack-jawed at Vegeta's reaction to Trunks' death, having never seen it coming.
Gajeel smiled at Vegeta's response. "Seems like you do have a heart under all of that bravado," He chuckled.
"Took him too long to realize just how important Trunks was to him," Laxus sighed.
"Finally, he's taken his head out of his ass," Minerva praised Vegeta for once.
GOHAN: Vegeta, no!
VEGETA: VEGETA, YES! (fires a blast at "Perfect" Cell, causing the area to be engulfed in smoke)
"PERFECT-er" CELL: (emerges from the smoke completely unharmed) Vegeta, no. (swats Vegeta to the ground)
"I mean…we all saw this one coming, but it's the effort that counts!" Cana exclaimed.
"PERFECT-er" CELL: Goodbye, Vegeta. And when you get to hell, tell them to make some room. (fires a blast to finish off Vegeta)
"And now Vegeta's gonna die. At least he'll be reunited with his baby boy," Minerva said.
GOHAN: (thinking) No! (rushes over to Vegeta and takes the blast head-on, resulting in a huge explosion)
"GOHAN!" Mira screamed, panicked.
"The hell, kid!?" Laxus yelled, pissed.
PICCOLO: (while getting pushed back from the force of the blast) Gohan!
(the dust clears, revealing Gohan on top of Vegeta)
"PERFECT-er" CELL: For Vegeta? Really?
"YEAH, REALLY!?"
"Well, he wouldn't be Gohan if he allowed it to happen," Lucy mentioned.
"I don't care! Vegeta's died before, he can die again!" Mira yelled, pissed off.
TIEN: Yeah, really!?
PICCOLO: Really?!
(Gohan steadily rises on his feet, with blood dripping down his left arm)
GOHAN: As...long as I'm still breathing...you won't kill anyone else.
"Well…Trunks' dead corpse is lying on the ground over there…" Freed mentioned, quietly.
"PERFECT-er" CELL: No prob, I can free up three or five minutes... or however long it takes to charge this. (takes the Kamehameha stance, Gohan gasps)
Everyone felt panic rise as Cell prepared his ultimate attack.
PICCOLO: Krillin! Senzu, now!
KRILLIN: Ah, you know how we only had eight beans, right?
PICCOLO: And?
KRILLIN: And how many people are here?
"OH COME ON!" Everyone complained together.
PICCOLO: So we're out-
KRILLIN: WE'RE OUT OF SENZU BEANS!
"PERFECT-er" CELL: I want you to know this blast isn't just meant for you, Gohan. It goes out to the entire world! My swan song to this planet. (starts charging up)
"A very unwanted and unneeded swan song," Gajeel huffed.
GOHAN: Vegeta, you brain-dead idiot! Trunks could have been brought back, no problem! But no, you picked now to be a parent!? Oh, look at me, I'm no better. Could've just let you bite it! Now I'm monoplegic and Cell's gonna kill us all.
VEGETA: I'm...sorry…
It hasn't even been five minutes and Vegeta had managed to once again surprise everyone by his recent action.
"He apologized…he has never once apologized for any selfish thing he's ever done before. For him to apologize now of all times…" Levy didn't finish her sentence.
"The Prince of all Saiyans has finally given up," Gajeel finished it for her.
GOHAN: Oh wow, we are fucked.
"Couldn't have worded it better myself," Romeo gulped.
KRILLIN: Well, if this is it, then... (looks at Android 18) ...I love you.
Juvia felt her heart go out to the two, for the potential future they won't have if Cell were to win.
YAMCHA: Hey, Tien... Since this is the end-
TIEN: If you're about to say, "I love you", I swear to God...
YAMCHA: Actually, I was gonna say you're the biggest asshole I know.
"You know Vegeta. I don't think that's an accurate statement," Macao said.
TIEN: Oh.
YAMCHA: You're also my best friend.
TIEN: So are you, man.
"Now, that's something we can relate to," Wakaba and Macao fist bumped. Two knew how it felt to be side-lined like Tien and Yamcha were. So, these feelings the two were going through were relatable.
"PERFECT-er" CELL: Honestly, Gohan, the maraschino cherry on top of all of this-besides rending you from existence-is that because I am not burdened by the evolutionary failure of aging, I will live forever! Free to roam the stars!
"To parade around the universe to continue killing and spreading chaos with no one to challenge it. This can't be allowed to happen!" Jellal growled.
"Gohan…" Erza clenched her fists, worried for the son of Goku.
"PERFECT-er" CELL: Gonna have to pick up a hobby though... I'm thinking craft brewing…
"Crafting what exactly?" Evergreen couldn't help but ask.
GOHAN: So this is how I die. Down an arm and killed by an android. Why does this feel oddly familiar?
Mira's mood dropped once again at the reminder of the tragic death of Future Gohan.
PICCOLO: Gohan, snap out of it! Your father wouldn't sit there and take it, and neither should you!
GOHAN: Mr. Piccolo...
PICCOLO: You want to do right by Goku? Then don't let that bastard scare you!
The Bar Maid's mood increased when she saw Piccolo's encouragement. Just like her little boy, Piccolo had also grown a ton since the start. She was proud of both her boys.
"PERFECT-er" CELL: He's right, brat! It's just like you told me, there's no point in being afraid of the inevitable.
GOHAN: Yeah, I guess you're right. (clenches his fist and raises his energy)
All of the mages started cheering as they felt Gohan's power rise once more to meet Cell's challenge. They could feel it! This would be the final battle!
"PERFECT-er" CELL: Hm?
GOHAN: KA... ME…
"This time for sure! You're gonna win, Gohan!" Gray supported him. Suddenly, his body was surrounded by a light blue aura. The aura flew from his body and entered the Lacrama.
"Juvia agrees with her darling Gray! Gohan will succeed this time!" Juvia's support was shown as well. A dark blue aura left her body to enter the Lacrama.
PICCOLO: With one arm?
GOHAN: HA…
"Your Dad wouldn't give up a fight no matter how bleak it would look! So, push onward like a true warrior!" A bright red aura escaped from Erza's body to enter the Lacrama.
"Avenge Trunks, Gohan! You can do it!" Lucy cheered him on. A yellow aura left her body to enter the Lacrama.
"Go Gohan go!" A normal colored blue aura left Happy's body.
"Don't make Wendy sad by dying, Gohan! Fight!" A white aura left Carla to enter the Lacrama.
"PERFECT-er" CELL: Magnificent! One last stand against me! A climactic showdown!
GOHAN: ME…
"WIN, GOHAN!" A powerful pink aura escaped Wendy's body to enter the Lacrama.
"KICK CELL'S ASS ONCE AND FOR ALL! GET ALL FIRED UP!" A fiery red aura was emitted from Natsu's body and entered the Lacrama.
Everyone else also threw in their own cries of support, multi-colored auras escaped from all of the wizards to enter the Lacrama. The large magical object shined brightly, and the mixture of energies entered Gohan's body. The young man blinked for a moment at the warm emotions that were added to his power, before concentrating on Cell again.
"PERFECT-er" CELL: Give me what your daddy couldn't-before I send ya home to him! HAAAAAAA! (fires his Kamehameha wave)
GOHAN: HAAAAAAA! (also fires his Kamehameha wave, one-handed style, and shows both beams racing toward each other)
KRILLIN: Grab your bodies and move! (jumps out of the way with Yamcha and Tien doing the same while carrying Trunks' corpse)
PICCOLO: Kill him, runt!
(Piccolo flies away with the others. Vegeta recovers and flies away as well. Both Kamehamehas finally collide with each other, resulting in a huge orb in the center. Gohan grunts and "Perfect" Cell crackles as the orb increases in size, with the force being felt from the crowd in a faraway city. The rest of the Z-Fighters land a safe distance from the beam struggle.)
The mages all had to hold their ground as the Lacrama bristled and crackled at the combined energies of Gohan and Cell. Their clash was stronger than anything they've ever felt before.
KRILLIN: It's a real good thing beams don't just explode on impact with each other. (Piccolo stares quietly at the clash)
"The Earth would be gone if they did," Levy said.
"PERFECT-er" CELL: Tell me when that arm starts feeling numb, brat! Then I'll start trying! Worst case scenario: you die and get stronger! It did wonders for me! (puts more power into his Kamehameha, causing him to gain more ground)
"Well, not everyone is a regenerating bug-man, are they!?" Minerva spat.
GOHAN: Is it too much to ask that you just shut up and fight!?
"PERFECT-er" CELL: What's that, brat? I can't hear you. Try sign language!
KRILLIN: If someone with one arm speaks with sign language, is that a speech impediment or an accent?
"That's…honestly that's a thought provoking question," Freed acknowledged.
"Yeah, but now's not the time for it!" Laxus barked.
GOHAN: (thinking) Dammit, my legs feel like they're about to give out, I can't feel my arm, and nobody's shutting the hell up!
GOKU: (telepathically) Oh, sorry, I'll come back later.
"GOKU!?"
"Oh, right, he killed King Kai," Levy remembered.
GOHAN: Dad!?
GOKU: (on Snake Way with King Kai) Hey, son! Sorry it took me so long to call, King Yemma's line was the worst! I literally thought I'd skipped it and went straight to hell.
KING KAI: You should go to hell!
Some spouts of laughter could be heard at King Kai's reaction.
Erza just shook her head and sighed, but she smiled a bit. Hearing Goku's voice again was surprisingly soothing.
GOKU: (telepathically) Also the phone won't stop yelling at me.
"Probably, because you killed him," Sting said.
GOHAN: (thinking) Dad, I... I don't think I can do this! He's so much stronger, and it's all my fault! It was my cowardice, then my hubris, and now my weakness! We're all gonna-
GOKU: (telepathically as an image of him appears alongside Gohan) Gohan, I want to tell you, that if you don't do this, Piccolo is gonna die. Your mom's gonna die. Everyone is gonna die. But before all that, If you don't do this...you're gonna die. And you're better than that! You're better than him! You're better than me!
(Gohan gasps and puts more power into his Kamehameha, which now give him the advantage)
"Nobody wants to point out that Gohan started trying again when Goku said that part?" Gajeel saw that nobody was paying attention to him. Their attention was too caught up on the screen.
"PERFECT-er" CELL: Whoa, Nelly!
GOKU: (telepathically) See? I'm not even close to that strong...yet.(Erza face palmed) You're more than just my son. You are Son Gohan! Now, plant your feet. Grit your teeth. And EAT...THAT...HORSE!
"GET ALL FIRED UP, SON GOHAN!" Everyone roared simultaneously.
GOHAN: YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH! (exerts even more power into his Kamehameha, nearly causing it to completely overpower "Perfect" Cell's)
"PERFECT-er" CELL: So, what's this brat, your second wind or your dying gasp?! Either way it doesn't matter! Behold the power of TWO HANDS! (releases more energy into his Kamehameha, now taking the lead and causing Gohan to skid back a few feet)
"GOHAN!"
GOKU: Gohan!
PICCOLO: No!
"PERFECT-er" CELL: Take solace, Gohan! Though you have fought alone, you will not die alone. That is my last gift to you. A PERFECT DEATH! (gets hit from a Galick Blazer out of nowhere) Eaugh!
(the person who shot the blast was Vegeta, who is gasping for breath)
"VEGETA, YES!"
"PERFECT-er" CELL: Oh, shit...
GOKU: Do it now!
GOHAN: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! (unleashes every power he has for one more push, which manages to completely overpower "Perfect" Cell's Kamehameha)
"PERFECT-er" CELL: OH, SHIT!
(starts singing "My Way" by Frank Sinatra in his thoughts)
And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain (shows a flashback of his birth and all the past events leading towards his climax)
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I've traveled each and every highway
But more, much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
("Perfect" Cell's body begins to break up as Gohan's Kamehameha completely disintegrates his body, down to the very last cell, and Gohan's Kamehameha continues into outer space, where it dissipates)
Everyone was quiet as they listened to Cell's final words. Oddly enough, they enjoyed the song from the dying Bio-Android.
Levy opened up her notebook to Cell's page. "As a whole Cell was probably the most intimidating and creepiest opponent the Z-Fighters have faced, it was also an entertaining opponent. Its first form was horrifying and downright a predator is more ways than one. The second form was purely pathetic but worrisome, and its Perfect Form was the perfect combination of sadistic and thrilling. Cell will not be missed in the slightest, but it may have brought everyone closer together," Levy finished her notes.
Perfect Cell died singing the Perfect Swan Song.
DRAGON BALL FIGHTERZ ANNOUNCER: DRAMATIC FINISH!
(back on Earth, Gohan is now seen in midair gasping heavily for air)
GOHAN: Horse...eaten! (reverts to his base form and starts falling) Somebody catch meeeeeee…
"Catch him!" Mira yelled at Piccolo.
PICCOLO: He's dead.
GOHAN: (hits the ground off-screen) Ugh!
Mira's frustrated cries were heard.
PICCOLO: Cell is dead!
YAMCHA: Nobody's gonna hold it against me if I start crying, are they?
"Nah, you guys have earned this," Wakaba laughed.
TIEN: Better now than five minutes ago.
KRILLIN: (walks up to Gohan) So buddy, you beat your first bad guy. How's it feel? (Gohan doesn't give a response) Gohan?
GOHAN: If anybody's there... My autonomic nervous system shut down all non-critical bodily functions. I cannot move, hear, or see. On a related note, I really, really need to use the bathroom.
"You deserve a nice long rest, Gohan," Mira smiled.
"You just saved the whole world, kid, hell, even the universe. Congrats," Gildarts smirked.
YAMCHA: Yeah, let's get you to the Lookout, little buddy. (picks up Gohan)
GOHAN: Is that Tien Shinhan? You have very soft hands. (passes out)
"Didn't really need to know that about Yamcha," Rogue huffed.
(Piccolo smiles and looks up to Vegeta)
YAMCHA: So, is there any food on the lookout? 'Cause I'm starving.
KRILLIN: Fourth rule of Popo's training-
YAMCHA: Yeah, yeah don't eat his stuff. Hey Piccolo, we're gonna stop for snacks on the way. (he, Tien, and Krillin fly off carrying Gohan, Trunks, and Android 18 respectively)
PICCOLO: You know Vegeta, I'm surprised you're not taking credit for the win.
"Oh! He really isn't gloating about getting that hit in on Cell! Trunks' death really did change him," Levy gasped.
"Or, it just made him realize there's something more important than personal glory," Laxus said.
VEGETA: I'm surprised you're not thanking me for saving your worthless lives.
PICCOLO: Heh. Well, don't worry. We'll go revive your "baby boy". (flies off)
VEGETA: (thinking) F**kin' better…
(shift over to Mr. Satan)
MR. SATAN: (thinking) We're... We're alive! After all that...I need to rethink my life.
"I forget they were here," Minerva blinked, shocked.
"I'm surprised they're still alive," Lector said.
JIMMY FIRECRACKER: Mr. Satan! (Mr. Satan shrieks) Mr. Satan, we found some working equipment in the van. We've only got audio, but the people can hear you! Would you like to tell the world what just happened?!
MR. SATAN: I don't... Um, I'm not really-
JIMMY FIRECRACKER: Mr. Satan... Would you like to tell the world, including your millions of scared, confused, and apparently rioting fans, what...happened?
MR. SATAN: Well...Jimmy...and all you at home...I won't lie to you. Cell is dead. And I am the one who TOOK. HIM. DOOOWN!
(crowd starts cheering)
"Oh, you have got to be fucking kiddding me…" Minerva groaned
JIMMY FIRECRACKER: Is there a body, Mr. Satan?
MR. SATAN: (panicked) NO! D'ah uh I mean, of course not! He exploded without a trace, on impact, Jimmy. That's why it's called "Mr. Satan's Megaton Punch"! But if he weren't such a chump, I'd have given him a punch for all my wonderful Satanists out there.
CROWD: Hail Satan! Hail Satan!
"So, he's just gonna take Gohan's credit!?" Natsu shouted.
"Eh, it's fine," Mira waved it off.
"Why, Sis?" Elfman asked.
"I doubt Gohan, Chi-Chi, or Goku would appreciate all of the extra attention. We know Gohan saved the world, their friends know Gohan saved the world, so that is all that matters. Not some opinions of a bunch of random civilians," Mira's explanation made sense.
RANDOM DUDE 1: What do we do now?
RANDOM DUDE 2: Orgy?
RANDOM DUDE 1: Orgy!
RANDOM DUDE 3: Yeah, f**k this city!
"LITERALLY!" Cana laughed her ass off.
"THAT'S SO GROSS!" Lucy paled.
(cut to King Castle)
CAPTAIN MERLINO: Well King Furry, it seems that we were victorious today. (King Furry barks) Yes, sir. I do believe it was the son of that Goku fellow. Unfortunately, the world may never know the truth. (King Furry barks again) We'll go for walkies later, sir. The orgy has begun. (King Furry whines like a puppy)
"Well, at least some people know that Gohan saved the world," Wendy smiled.
(cut over to the Z-Fighters arriving at The Lookout)
DENDE: Gohan! (runs up to Yamcha) What'd you idiots do?
YAMCHA: Nothing, we just let him fight Cell.
DENDE: ALONE?!
YAMCHA: Well yeah, that's just kinda how we do things…
"And it's still stupid!" Lucy argued.
DENDE: Just give him to me, you mook! (Yamcha places Gohan on the ground; Dende starts healing Gohan) I don't think the healing is working, I need to give him mouth-to-mouth.
"That won't be needed," Erza frowned.
GOHAN: (wakes up with feeble mumbling) Dende?
DENDE: Gohan! Can you breathe?
GOHAN: Better than usual, actually.
DENDE: Oh, oh okay...
TIEN: Hey, sorry about your dad, kid.
YAMCHA: Yeah, that's rough.
GOHAN: You guys, it's fine! He's dead!
"Is that a red flag?" Lisanna asked her sister.
"Nope!" Mira said, a little too cheery.
YAMCHA: There's a lot to unpack there.
PICCOLO: You did a good job out there, kid. (places his hand on Gohan's head) Without you, we'd all be dead.
GOHAN: Yep!
PICCOLO: I... just wanted you to know that.
GOHAN: I know!
PICCOLO: D'okay. ...Long as we're clear.
"No one better underestimate my baby boy ever again!" Mira huffed, proudly.
DENDE: Okay, so why did you bring two dead chicks to my lookout? (Android 18 wakes up)
"Only one of them is dead…and not a woman," Kagura corrected.
ANDROID 18: Huh?
KRILLIN: Good morning, sunshine!
ANDROID 18: (quickly gets up on her feet) Where am I? What happened? Where's Cell?
PICCOLO: On the Lookout, Gohan killed Cell, and... Gohan killed Cell.
ANDROID 18: What's the Lookout?
KRILLIN: It's where God lives.
DENDE: What up?
ANDROID 18: Okay. Wow, you're throwing a lot at me here.
"Yeah, pretty sure the last thing she remembers is getting absorbed by Cell," Levy said.
KRILLIN: Also, I'm in love with you.
"Welp, that's one way to rip off that band-aid," Gray sighed.
ANDROID 18: Aaand that's my limit. Thank you. Bye. (turns away and flies off)
KRILLIN: NO-WHAT-NO! Man, I'm bad at this...
ANDROID 18: We both are!
"Juvia suggests giving them time. The love will come on its own," The water-mage smiled.
TIEN: Suddenly, I'm elated that Trunks is dead.
YAMCHA: Dude!
TIEN: What, so he didn't have to see that.
YAMCHA: Still, dude...
(all seven DragonBalls are seen flashing together)
DENDE: Okay, Shenron, wakey wakey, eggs and dead people... (Shenron, the eternal dragon, is summoned)
SHENRON: I am the eternal dragon. State your wishes and I shall grant it.
GOHAN/Levy: He seems...less moody than usual.
DENDE: 'Sup Shenron.
SHENRON: 'Sup, Big Green?
"Okay, yeah, that explains it," Levy sighed.
YAMCHA: Eternal Dragon, our first wish is to bring back everyone on Earth killed by Cell.
SHENRON: A simple matter. (eyes glow red)
TRUNKS: (opens his eyes) I get it, it's a beautiful desk. Can I just go to Heave- Where am I?
"You're no longer talking to Yemma about his Mahogany desk," Lucy answered.
GOHAN: You're on the Lookout!
TRUNKS: Oh, good. Got my clothes back.
"And he's still doing that!?" Evergreen paled.
DENDE: Alright, since you resurrected more than one person, you only have one wish left. Make it count.
TIEN: Something doesn't seem right.
YAMCHA: Yeah, shouldn't Goku be back now?
DENDE: You wanna tell them or should I?
MR. POPO: Oh, please, I insist.
DENDE: I was going to save this for after Krillin died.("Okay, your hate for Krillin is a little too much now," Lucy sighed) But since you apparently did the impossible, you still can't bring back someone who's already died before.
"Then, let's just go to Namek! Goku can still come home and possibly try to survive Chi-Chi's wrath," Erza suggested.
"Why do I feel like you want him to suffer from her anger?" Gray asked.
GOHAN: What?
KRILLIN: Whooo! Bullet dodged!
"And that's all you care about," Yukino sighed.
PICCOLO: Don't freak out, Porunga can still bring back people who have died.
YAMCHA: Good thinking, Piccolo, we'll just use the remaining wish to go to Namek!
GOKU: (telepathically) You want to tell 'em or should I?
"What?" Erza was surprised.
KING KAI: (telepathically) DON'T TALK TO ME!
"Oh, so he's still pissed?" Gajeel wasn't surprised.
GOHAN: Dad?
KRILLIN: Goku?
GOKU: (telepathically) Hey guys. I'm in heaven. With King Kai!
KING KAI: (telepathically) Yeah, thanks for specifying on Earth, by the way! Yamcha, you ASSHOLE!
"How was he supposed to know you died!?" Romeo asked, confused.
KRILLIN: Okay, Goku. We're gonna go to Namek so we can wish you back. So just sit tight buddy!
GOKU: (telepathically) Yeah... 'Bout that…
"And here it comes…" Erza wanted to break another table.
GOHAN: (thinking) Oh, here it comes...
GOKU: I gave it some thought, and well... Raditz and Vegeta came to Earth because of me, right? Then Freezer came to Earth because of me. And the androids were made because of me. (telepathically) Just feels like every time the Earth's in danger. I'm the common dominator. And frankly, I'm tired of dominating. It's your turn to dominate, Gohan.
Erza's anger dissipated after Goku's explanation. She understood his concerns, because he was finally realizing a lot of the mistakes he made. "But..still, you have a baby on the way, Goku…"
GOHAN/Levy: Everything you just said was technically correct.
GOKU: (telepathically) I'm just thinking maybe... it would be better if I stay dead.
KRILLIN: But, you've been a part of our lives for so long. It can't just end like this, right?
GOKU: I know it's hard guys, but I think it's for the best and this doesn't have to be goodbye forever. (telepathically) Maybe one day when the time is right. I'll come back to see you again, but it is goodbye. For now at least. Gohan, I know I-
GOHAN: Dad, don't. It's okay. Because you were right about one thing. I can take care of us. Just... promise you'll call every once in a while.
GOKU: 'Course!
"Then, maybe everything will be alright," Erza relented. He made his choice, so hopefully it wasn't the incorrect one.
KING KAI: (telepathically) I am not your cell phone!
GOKU: (telepathically) Whups, I gotta go here, getting some interference. Take care Gohan! And say 'hi' to your little brother for me.
GOHAN: Wait, Mom's pregnant?
"Oh right, he didn't know," Lucy chuckled.
GOKU: (telepathically) Bye, sons! Now, where's the off button...?
KING KAI: (telepathically) Get your hands off me-
GOKU: (telepathically) Boop!
KING KAI: (telepathically) Augh! My eye! (hang-up tone)
Everyone laughed at the exchange between Goku and King Kai.
GOHAN: See you later, Dad.
YAMCHA: Sooo, if, uh, you guys don't have any wishes. I've never really gotten the chance to-
KRILLIN: Could you turn 17 and 18 back into normal humans?
"Wait, is that possible?" Freed wondered.
TRUNKS: Wha?
YAMCHA: No, it's cool. Next time though?
"No," Minerva said.
PICCOLO: Oh, I get it. Turn them back into humans and make them weaker.
KRILLIN: What? No! Dr. Gero stole their lives away from them. I just think they deserve a better life.
"Krillin's a sweet guy," Lucy smiled at the gesture.
SHENRON: That wish is beyond my power.
KRILLIN: Bullshit!
SHENRON: (visibly sweating) Look, I don't make the rules.
KRILLIN: Then who does?
MR. POPO: Hi~
KRILLIN: Because they are incredibly fair and balanced.
"Changed his tune real quick," Romeo snickered.
YAMCHA: Honestly, man, I don't see the downside to being an Android. You know, except walking around with a nuke in your chest.
KRILLIN: Wait, Shenron! Can you take the bombs out of them?
SHENRON: I can.
"Then that's perfect! 17 and 18 won't have to worry about exploding!" Lisanna exclaimed.
KRILLIN: That, please!
SHENRON: (does so) Your wishes have been granted. Farewell! Bigger Green, out! (disappears and all seven Dragon Balls fly up in the sky and scatters)
TRUNKS: For the record, I agree with the results of your wish, but not the motive.
"That's understandable, nobody blames you," Erza said.
KRILLIN: I just want to do the right thing, okay?
GOHAN: I think it's sweet. You're a good guy, Krillin.
KRILLIN: Thanks. Too bad Android 18 will never know. I wish I had one more chance to talk to her.
ANDROID 18: (makes her presence known to the others) Okay, what the hell was that?
KRILLIN: (sotto voce) Thank you, Shenron...!
ANDROID 18: You could have wished for a billion Zeni. Or a nose! But instead you used a magical wish-granting dragon... for us.
"Because he cares about you. You don't need a reason to do anything when you love someone," Natsu grinned.
TIEN: Asking the real questions here.
KRILLIN: It just... made sense.
ANDROID 18: Okay, look. I've got to go find my brother. I can only imagine what's going through his head right now...
(cut to Android 17 waking up in the location of where he was absorbed by Imperfect Cell)
ANDROID 17: I never did get that boat…
"What boat?" Wendy asked, confused.
(cut back to The Lookout)
ANDROID 18: I actually bet it's inane. But...let's talk later. (runs off the Lookout)
Juvia hugged Gray tightly, squealing loudly.
KRILLIN: Wait, wait! W-what's your number?
ANDROID 18: 18!
"He walked into that one," Gildarts laughed.
KRILLIN: Heh. Guess I flew into that one.
PICCOLO: (thinking) I'm not sure what just happened...
NAIL & KAMI: (in a singsong tone) (Krillin's got a girlfriend!)
PICCOLO: Gross.
"You are asexual, so that makes sense," Freed said.
TIEN: Well, I better get home. I told Chiaotzu if I wasn't dead by the end of the day, that we'd eat out.
YAMCHA: Hah, gay.
TIEN: I'll miss you too, Yamcha.
"At least they're back to normal," Happy grinned.
GOHAN: Thank you for all of your help. Mr. Tenshinhan.
TIEN: You're the one who picked up our slack, kid. Now keep that bright head in the clouds, and strong feet on the ground. And Trunks...
TRUNKS: Huh?
TIEN: Go wreck their shit.
"Couldn't have said it better myself," Laxus grinned.
TRUNKS: That's the idea.
TIEN: Until we meet again! Which will probably be when the world's in danger, so just...keep a close eye on Vegeta. (flies off)
TRUNKS: Can any of you get a read on that guy?
"Not at all," Everyone agreed.
GOHAN: Not even close.
KRILLIN: We should probably follow his lead. Namek has shorter days than this has been.
GOHAN: Are you going to stay here on the lookout, Mr. Piccolo?
PICCOLO: I mean, that's up to Dende.
DENDE: Are you gonna visit us, Gohan?
GOHAN: All the time!
DENDE: Then yes, we have a room for you, Nail.
"Still calling him Nail," Levy noted.
PICCOLO: I've never had a room before!
"He's so excited, it's adorable," Mira giggled.
DENDE: That's depressing, and hilarious.
MR. POPO: I call it Deprarious!
"They are best friends," Sting said.
TRUNKS: If you guys wouldn't mind, I'd like if you could come by Capsule Corp. tomorrow before I leave. Before I'd met you guys, all I had was stories and now that I've fought alongside you all I'm...I'm gonna miss you.
"Aw, Trunks," Lucy felt her own heart warming at the scene.
KRILLIN: Oh shucks, buddy. We're gonn-
TRUNKS: Specifically you, Gohan.
"Again, that makes sense," Levy said.
KRILLIN: Was that necessary?
GOHAN: We'll be there with bells on. And I'll see you later, Dende!
DENDE: Visit soon, Gohan! We'll have a slumber party, we could play spin the bottle! Hehe, 1v1 me, bro.
GOHAN: All right, then guys. Ready? Let's go home! (he, Krillin, Trunks, and Yamcha fly off the Lookout)
"Time to break the news to his Mom," Lily brought up.
"Shush! Don't ruin the moment!" Levy shushed him.
YAJIROBE: Heyyyyyy! (he and Korin wave to the group as they fly off)
GOHAN: Good job, everybody! See you at Capsule Corp.! (he and Krillin part ways with Trunks and Yamcha)
TRUNKS: No, sorry. There's only room in the time machine for one person.
YAMCHA: Can't you like, put me in a capsule?
TRUNKS: Why would you want to go back to my post-apocalyptic future? ...Is it because my mom is single?
"How desperate can he get?" Everyone sighed.
YAMCHA: Oh, hey my apartment's this way, later Trunks! (he and Trunks part ways)
(cut to Chi-Chi sobbing at home, having been told the news about Goku's death from Gohan)
CHI-CHI: Your father would rather be dead than live with his wife and children!
"Nonononono! That's not it at all! He's…he's just taking responsibility I guess. Maybe, not in the best way but he thinks that this was the better decision to make. All we can do is trust that, and move forward," Erza placed a hand on her heart.
GOHAN: Mom, no! Dad might be... Well, is one of the dumbest, most selfish, most irresponsible people we know... (Chi-Chi wails harder) But... before he died... he mentioned us. All of us.
OX-KING: Even me?
"Seriously?" Kagura groaned.
GOHAN: Granddad? Seriously, could you not, right now?
CHI-CHI: (stops crying) My... My Goku…
KING KAI: You're sure about this, Goku?
(cut to Goku and King Kai on Snake Way)
GOKU: 'Bout as sure as I can be.
KING KAI: Most men would die all over again just to get back what you've had. A loving wife, two sons, unearthly powers.
"True, why would anyone want to give that up?" Romeo questioned.
GOKU: Yeah, but those aren't going anywhere. And if they do, they'll probably just be back to me. It's a win-win!
KING KAI/Jellal: You're a strange creature, Goku.
(cut over to Capsule Corp. with everyone seeing Trunks head off)
GOKU: I'm just not afraid of change, I guess. I've never been. When it comes down to it, I know they're gonna be alright. Because if I've learned anything since landing on Earth...
KING KAI/Gray: Big "if" there...
GOKU: …it's that everyone is stronger than they think they are. (Vegeta flips off Trunks, who responds by flipping him off back. Vegeta responds with a smile.)("Aw! They're bonding!" Yukino gasped) I left behind the best people in the world and I'm happy about that. Things changed, and they're gonna keep changing.
(TRUNKS: Goodbye, everyone! I'll never forget you!)
GOKU: There ain't no stopping that.
(BULMA: See you in 17 years, sweetie!)
GOKU: The most important part? Now they can live their own lives and make their own futures.
(YAMCHA: Bye, Trunks!)
(KRILLIN: Later, dude!)
GOKU: And I can't wait to see the kind of future they make.
Makarov couldn't have agreed more with Goku than at that moment. When he eventually does leave the world of the living, he'll be leaving behind all of these children he raised in Fairy Tail. But that's fine with him, because he knows that the future they'll create will shine brighter than even the stars in the sky.
(Gohan feels a tap on his shoulder and looks behind him to see an image of Goku in the sky. Krillin looks around a bit confused.)
KRILLIN: ...What?
"Nothing, Krillin, just a Father passing the torch to his son," Makarov answered.
[CREDITS PLAY]
KRILLIN: I'm surprised you knew I'd be here.
ANDROID 18: Seemed like the obvious pick.
Everyone blinked in confusion at the extra scene. Wondering what could be happening right now.
(cuts over to an outside shot of Kame House with a car outside)
KRILLIN: True! So, um. What can I do for you?
ANDROID 18: I made a promise to myself, and I'm here to keep it.
Mira was quick on the uptake. "KIDS! COVER YOUR EARS AND EYES!"
KRILLIN: Wanna see a movie? Or...
ANDROID 18: Dude, drop your pants.
"I can't believe what I'm seeing…" Macao gaped.
"I can't believe what I'm hearing.." Wakaba gaped.
KRILLIN: Oh, oh! O-okay, but, um, j-j-just a heads up. I'm a grower. (drops his pants, which is followed by an audible meaty thud)
All of the adults' jaws DROPPED when they heard that thud. All of the women were blushing madly at the implications.
ANDROID 18: Oh... my... God!
KRILLIN: What?
ANDROID 18: Get on the bed.
KRILLIN: Yes, ma'am!
(Krillin Owned Count drops down from 39 to 38)
"NO FUCKING WAY!"
[CREDITS PLAY]
(Special THanks credits play as it shows Android 16, smiling and with a halo above his head, in heaven. He was sitting under a tree with birds sitting on his shoulders and arms.)
Wendy started crying as she stared at the perfect image. "Cell was wrong, I knew it was wrong. 16 does have a soul," She said to herself. The rest of the mages all shared the same peaceful look, happy that 16 got his happy ending.
(cut back to outside Kame House at night with Krillin being heard panting and Android 18 moaning along with a mattress squeaking, clearly indicating they are having sex. The Krillin Owned Count is now at 1)
KRILLIN: SCATTER BULLET! (fires a blast at the night sky, which splits and destroys the Krillin Owned Count meter) Haha!
ANDROID 18: Uff, wow…
"He…he got rid of his counter…there was actually a pay off for it…" Levy gaped.
"I take back every bad thing I've ever said about Krillin," Gajeel said.
"Agreed," Everyone said, simultaneously.
(Cut to Capsule Corp, where Future Trunks is preparing to go back to his timeline)
"Oh, what's left for us to see?" Levy questioned.
BULMA: Make sure to tell future me she raised you right.
FUTURE TRUNKS: Oh, I got lots to tell you.
"Why do I feel like most of that includes Vegeta?" Bickslow asked.
"Because it does," Evergreen answered.
GOHAN: I'm gonna miss you, Trunks.
KRILLIN: Have a safe trip back to the future, Mcfly!
"Who is that?" Freed asked.
(Future Trunks looks at Vegeta leaning up against a tree, who gives Future Trunks the middle finger. Future Trunks replies by giving Vegeta the middle finger, prompting Vegeta to smirk.)
"So, we're seeing Trunks' send-off, but without Goku's narration?" Lisanna tilted her head.
"No…I think we're going to see something more," Levy assumed.
(Future Trunks goes into his time machine, preparing for travel)
FUTURE TRUNKS: (Waving, as his time machine is blasting off) Goodbye, everyone! I'll never forget you!
BULMA: (Waving at Future Trunks) See you in seventeen years, sweetie!
"Well, you wouldn't, because that would be a completely different Trunks," Yukino pointed out.
(Yamcha, Krillin, and Gohan are looking up at Future Trunks in his time machine, and watch as his time machine disappears)
(Scene changes to Future Trunks' timeline outside of Capsule Corp. His time machine is seen arriving with TARDIS sound effects.)
FUTURE BULMA: Ha ha ha! Suck on that "vurst", Einstein! Collapse that wave function all over your pasty German a- (Looks up at Future Trunks) Huh? Trunks! (Stands up) Oh, you're back! Thank goodness you're- (Notices Future Trunks' stern look) …Everything go well?
FUTURE TRUNKS: Hey Mom! You ever met Dad?
Some of the mages couldn't help, but laugh at Trunks' sarcastic question. Knowing that Vegeta would be the first thing he'd mention.
"She really did a poor job of preparing him for Vegeta," Lucy sighed.
FUTURE BULMA: (sighs) Okay look, love is complicated.
"You have no idea," Gildarts said.
"What does that mean, old man?" Cana glared at him.
"N-Nothing, Cana!" He backed away from her.
(Cuts to outside of Capsule Corp. A steaming teapot can be heard)
FUTURE BULMA: Seriously, how was I supposed to prepare you for a year alone with him?
(Cuts to back inside of Capsule Corp, in the kitchen. Radio music can be heard)
FUTURE BULMA: I never even got a week.
FUTURE TRUNKS: Mom, you didn't prepare me for a car ride to the grocery store with the man. What did you see in him?
"Is the question we've all been asking since you came into existence," Minerva said.
FUTURE BULMA: A short, stubborn, powerful person desperate for recognition. As a female scientist in her early thirties, I… (sets teapot down) …guess I identified with that.
"I can see it," Levy shrugged. She wasn't gonna judge Bulma, because of the circumstances behind how she and Gajeel first met.
FUTURE TRUNKS: I just wish I could have.
FUTURE BULMA: Well, apparently, you're his baby boy, so… he wasn't all bad, right?
"Yes, it took his literal death for Vegeta to come to that realization," Gajeel put into perspective.
"Really shows you just how hard headed Vegeta was," Lily said.
FUTURE TRUNKS: A revelation that came at the cost of my literal life. Then again, considering the dysfunction of that whole group… Maybe I'm not the worst off.
"You're the best, Trunks. Don't forget that," Lucy said.
FUTURE BULMA: Yeah. Because I raised you right.
"You are also a part of that group," Freed reminded.
"Yes, soliciting your son for sex is something we'll never forget," Bickslow added.
FUTURE TRUNKS: (Turns to Future Bulma) Oh. About that… Before you found out that I was your son… (hesitantly) in the past… you… might've made a pass of me.
FUTURE BULMA: Well, duh
"HUH!?"
FUTURE TRUNKS: Mom!
FUTURE BULMA: Hey, it's not my fault your dad' genetics and mine got along like chocolate and peanut butter.
FUTURE TRUNKS: (Shocked) Is that why you used to call me your little peanut butter cup?
"I'm still concerned about Bulma in general. Is anyone else?" Lucy asked.
"YES!"
(radio starts to broadcast to AMW station. Gunshots can be heard in the background)
FUTURE WOMBAT: (on radio, calmly) This is Alpha Leader Wombat, comin' at you live from Parsley City! We've got our special guests, the Cyborgs, and they are TEARING IT UP! I already lost five men, I'm runnin' out of ammo, and I'm holed up in the bank. This looks like it'll be ALW's last report. Watch out, TJ... (frantically and growing more distant, as if running away from mic) I'M COMIN' HOME, BROTHA!
LEONIDAS: (on radio) FOR TONIGHT! WE DINE! IN HE-
(radio loses signal to ALW)
"Well, Trunks, if that wasn't a signal then I don't know what is," Freed spoke.
FUTURE TRUNKS: (standing up, clenching his fist) Perfect. Just saved me the effort of hunting them down.
FUTURE BULMA: Be careful. I know you're stronger, but I don't want history repeating itself.
"Don't worry, Bulma! This time Trunks is gonna kick their ass!" Natsu declared.
FUTURE TRUNKS: Don't worry, Mom. I'll be back before that tea gets cold. Actually, i-it's gonna take me a little while to get there, so...
FUTURE BULMA: Right, so want me to put it in a thermos, or make more when you get back-?
FUTURE TRUNKS: You can just- you know, I'll just finish it now. (takes huge sip from his tea)
"I really feel like that's a bad idea," Lily said.
(scene changes to Parsley City. Large section of the city explodes. Future Cyborg 18 is angrily shooting ki blasts at an area. Future Cyborg 17 is standing there, watching his sister)
FUTURE CYBORG 17: You know, sis, they say catharsis is actually bad for your health.
FUTURE CYBORG 18: (turns to face Future Cyborg 17) And so is calling me a, quote, "Hoe-bot", end quote! (turns back to continue firing)
"It's not really inaccurate either," Minerva spat.
FUTURE CYBORG 17: I would go with... "Ro-thot".
FUTURE CYBORG 18: I'm not even an Android!
FUTURE CYBORG 17: Well, duh. Since you're a girl, you'd obviously be a gynoid...
(An old man crawls from underneath a turned-over car, holding out a gun)
FUTURE CYBORG 17: ...which is funny, considering "guy" is the na-
(The old man shoots his gun at Future Cyborg 17's head. The bullet bounces off, startling him)
"You really should've just stayed hidden," Wendy feared for the old man's life.
FUTURE CYBORG 17: (whispering) Mother...
(The old man gasps as Future Cyborg 17 turns around to face him)
FUTURE CYBORG 17: (walking towards the old man) Not a bad shot, Pops.
(The old man shoots three bullets, all of which bounce off from Future Cyborg 17's body)
FUTURE CYBORG 17: Must be popular down at the shooting range.
(The old man shoots two more bullets before giving up. Future Cyborg 17 towers over the old man)
FUTURE CYBORG 17: I, on the other hand, have terrible aim. (pulls a pistol from his pocket, then pulls the old man's head up, gun pointing towards his chin) I gotta get up real close, see? (grins evilly) So do me a favor: sit still.
OLD MAN: If you're reading this-
(Future Cyborg 17 shoots, instantly killing the old man)
Everyone glared at Future 17 with pure hate and disgust. Wishing that Trunks killed them both painfully.
FUTURE CYBORG 17: Oh right. "Gynoid". Like "gynecology". Huh. It's obvious when I think about it-
FUTURE TRUNKS: (offscreen) Get away from him!
"You're a little too late, Trunks," Laxus growled, disappointed.
(Future Cyborg 17 turns around to see Future Trunks arriving)
FUTURE TRUNKS: I hope you got everything out of your wretched lives you wanted, because they end today! Nobody else is going to- (notices the dead the old man) Oh... probably could've microwaved that tea…
"The Z-Fighters rubbed off on him more than he realized," Sting groaned.
FUTURE CYBORG 17: Well, well, well. Hey there, Lilac. It's been a few weeks. Surprised you're on your feet already. Also breathing.
FUTURE CYBORG 18: See, 17? This is what you get when you don't double tap. Also, does he look different to you?
FUTURE CYBORG 17: Yeah. Ditched the sword, lost the jacket. Plus, you got jacked. You must be crushing that five-by-five. Also, did you get a little taller, or-?
"Trunks is SUPER MANLY now!" Elfman yelled.
FUTURE CYBORG 18: (turns to Future Cyborg 17) Jesus Christ. Swipe right already! (turns back to Future Trunks)
FUTURE CYBORG 17: Pretty sure he's more of your type.
FUTURE CYBORG 18: (grinning evilly) No thanks. I'm into shorter men. (shoots an energy blast which Future Trunks dodges)
"Yeah, the better version of you already proved that to us," Macao gagged.
(Future Trunks reappears behind Future Cyborg 18)
FUTURE CYBORG 17: Sis, watch out!
(Future Trunks punches Future Cyborg 18 into a building)
FUTURE CYBORG 18: (while penetrating through the buildings) GOD-DAMN-CHEAP-SHOTTING-ASSHOLE! ("Hey! That was kind of a reference!" Levy exclaimed) (stops and lands in a pile of debris, sits up) Now it's too bad you left that sword at home... (stands up angrily) Because now I'm gonna have to do what comes next WITH MY BARE HANDS! (charges to punch Future Trunks)
(Future Trunks grabs Future Cyborg 18's fist, and then throws her. Future Cyborg 18 shoots a ki blast at Future Trunks, who easily dodges it. Future Cyborg 18 lands in front of Future Cyborg 17)
FUTURE CYBORG 17: Is this a bad time to point out his specific choice in shirt?
"DUDE, REALLY!?" The women yelled at him.
FUTURE TRUNKS: Y'know, it's funny, and a little bit sad. You two Androids didn't have to turn out like this. The ones I met in the-
FUTURE CYBORG 17: Hold up. Did you just call us "Androids"? That's offensive.
"Oh my fucking god…" Minerva wanted to bash her head against a wall.
FUTURE CYBORG 18: Again with this shit?
FUTURE TRUNKS: Oh. Right. Uh, they called you "Androids" in the past.
FUTURE CYBORG 17: The past? What, did you time travel?
FUTURE TRUNKS: Uhh... yeah...
FUTURE CYBORG 18: Wait. When was that? Shouldn't we remember you?
"Not how time travel works, but don't worry. That won't matter much for you soon," Jellal answered.
FUTURE TRUNKS: How about this: If I don't kill you in the next minute, I'll give you an explanation.
FUTURE CYBORG 17: Trust me, Wife Beater. By the time we're done with you... we won't need one.
FUTURE CYBORG 18: (turns to Future Cyborg 17) Wait a second... That's what you meant by his choice in shirt? Jesus, dude!
"Yeah…not the best of jokes," Cana said.
FUTURE CYBORG 17: What, are you kidding? I put a bullet in some dude's gray-matter not two minutes ago, and that's what's got you offended-?
(Future Trunks dives toward Future Cyborg 18, holding out a hand)
FUTURE CYBORG 18: (shocked) Wait...
(Future Trunks shoots a large ki blast at Future Cyborg 18, killing her immediately)
"YEAH, TRUNKS!" Everyone cheered at the death of Future 18.
FUTURE CYBORG 17: (shocked by Future Cyborg 18's sudden death) Any chance I could... talk you out of this?
"Did you give Future Gohan a chance before you mercilessly killed him!?" Mira growled.
"Did you give any of your victims a chance before you decided to continue committing genocide!?" Jellal glared, fiercely.
"This is justice, 17! Justice for all of those you've wronged!" Erza yelled.
FUTURE TRUNKS: (turns to Future Cyborg 17) What was my master's name?
FUTURE CYBORG 17: Huh?
FUTURE TRUNKS: The man who taught me. The man whose arm you took. (voice rising) The man you killed. (sharply) What. Was. His. Name?
FUTURE CYBORG 17: (hesitantly, shaking) Goooo... kuuuuuu... Junioooooor...?
"Burn in hell," Mira growled. A dark purple aura escaped her body and flew into Trunks, fueling the boy's anger against 17.
FUTURE TRUNKS: WRONG ANSWER! (kicks Future Cyborg 17 in the face, who yelps, somersaults into the air, then proceeds to shoot a ki blast to finish Future Cyborg 17 off, resulting in a large explosion that engulfs a large area of the city)
(as smoke and fire fills the screen, screen fades to white)
"That was for Gohan," Natsu smirked.
"Finally, he's saved the future," Wendy sighed, relieved.
"No, he's not done just yet," Levy pointed at Lacrama.
(scene changes to five years later. Camera pans an aerial view over the city, which is undergoing construction)
FUTURE BULMA: You really think he's going to take the bait?
FUTURE TRUNKS: I'm pretty sure I have a corpse in another timeline that says, "Yes, he will." Now stick to the script, Mom.
"Oh, right, Cell," Everyone remembered that the bug still existed in this timeline.
FUTURE BULMA: Geez. Morbid. Ahem... (acting terribly) Alright, son! Time to take this time machine back to the past! Where there are two living Cyborgs! For you to help Goku defeat!
FUTURE TRUNKS: (also acting terribly) Thanks, Mom! I can't wait to save all those juicy fat people in the past from those Cyborgs with this time machine!
FUTURE BULMA: Make sure to write! (fake laughs)
FUTURE TRUNKS: (fake laughs with his mother)
"They're worse than Erza!" Everyone(Except Erza) screamed mentally.
"I can't believe they have such perfect acting!" Erza gasped.
(while Future Bulma and Future Trunks are pretending, Future Cell approaches, looking from the corner of a building)
"Hello, ugly," Gajeel greeted the bug.
(Future Trunks suddenly stops, sensing Future Cell's ki)
FUTURE BULMA: What? (sees Future Cell eavesdropping) Oh shit. Is that him? You know, you never told me he was green, but I imagined he was green.
FUTURE TRUNKS: (looking back, quietly) Mom.
FUTURE BULMA: He's looking right at us. Does he... Does he know I can see him? (Future Cell growls) Is his vision based on movement?
"Everyone's vision is based on movement," Levy said.
FUTURE TRUNKS: (quietly) Mom. Script.
FUTURE BULMA: (continues acting terribly) Alright, son! I'm going to make dinner! It'll be done by the time you get back! (goes back inside Capsule Corp)
FUTURE TRUNKS: (back still turned on Future Cell) Alright, tall, dark and bugly... (Future Cell gasps, dumbfounded and surprised) I know you're there.
FUTURE CELL: No you don't! This is an ambush-! (realizes his mistake) Ohhhh…
"Dumbass," Gray insulted it.
FUTURE TRUNKS: (turns to Future Cell) I also know you're here to kill me, and take my time machine, so let's skip the monologue. Also you killing me.
FUTURE CELL: (walking towards Future Trunks) Awww... But that's the fun part. And unfortunately, I seem to be missing two... vital pieces. So I'm gonna need that time machine, so I can-
FUTURE TRUNKS/Lucy: Go back in the past, and absorb the Cyborgs.
FUTURE CELL: To achieve my-!
FUTURE TRUNKS/Gray: Perfect Form.
FUTURE CELL: Okay, you suck. You're sucking all the fun out of this! I'm the only one who sucks here, boy-! (realizing what he said) That came out wrong.
"No, that sounds about right," Everyone disagreed.
FUTURE TRUNKS: Nah, sounds right to me.
FUTURE BULMA: (watching from behind a window) Seriously, whose DNA made him look like he stepped in a teleporter with Jeff Goldblum?
"Who?" Freed questioned again.
FUTURE CELL: How... (clenches his fist) How do you know all this?
FUTURE TRUNKS: Because... as someone once told me... Multiverse Theory's a bitch.
"He's taking so much pleasure out of throwing those back into Cell's face!" Levy giggled. "The power of references!"
FUTURE CELL: ...Okay. I feel like you're referencing something, and I don't get it, and that's not fair. So I'm really gonna need that time machine now, so I can just go back and redo this whole conversation.
"Again, not how time travel works. But, it doesn't matter, since you won't be alive long enough for Trunks to explain it," Jellal said.
FUTURE TRUNKS: Sorry, Cell. You've already got your way once.
FUTURE CELL: Wait... "Cell"? Is that my name? Oh man, that's way better than the name I came up with! I was thinking... "Jiren". (Future Trunks just glares at Future Cell) Yeah, see, I thought it was boring, too.
"It is pretty boring," Natsu agreed.
(Future Trunks yells, forcing Future Cell to fly upwards)
FUTURE CELL: WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
"That's the Goku talking," Erza said.
(Future Trunks and Future Cell land on a hillside)
FUTURE TRUNKS: I hope you're prepared to meet your maker... in Hell! Because I'm pretty sure that's where Dr. Gero is.
"I'd be shocked if he wasn't," Freed said.
FUTURE CELL: Ohohoho. You think you're CUTE?! (powers up)
FUTURE TRUNKS: Bitch... (transforms to Super Saiyan, raises a fist) I'm adorable.
"Someway somehow, Vegeta just shed a very proud tear," Gajeel chuckled.
"THAT'S A REFERENCE! I'M ADDING THAT AS A REFERENCE!" Levy screamed.
(Future Cell charges towards Future Trunks, exchanging blows to each other. Future Trunks punches Future Cell upwards, then teleports to him. Future Cell tries to punch Future Trunks, who immediately teleports again behind him, then kicks him in the back. Future Cell screams as he is being skyrocketed, but then stops and powers up)
FUTURE CELL: (looking at the camera) Boy, howdy, kids. Looks like your old friend Cell is in quite a sticky wicket. Whatever should he do? (pauses) Use the Kamehameha? (gets in the Kamehameha stance) Good idea! Ka... Me...
FUTURE TRUNKS: (charging a large energy wave) HAAAAAAA!
FUTURE CELL: LETMEFINISH!
"HELL NO! FINISH IT, TRUNKS!"
FUTURE TRUNKS: GET OUTTA MY F**KING TIMELINE! (fires his Burning Bomber)
(transit to flashbacks)
FUTURE CELL: (starts singing "My Way" by Frank Sinatra) And now, the end is near-
(cut to present, of Future Cell being engulfed in Future Trunks' Burning Bomber)
"You have not been alive long enough for that to even matter," Levy scowled.
FUTURE CELL: AHH! GODDAMMIT! (being disintegrated) SHIIIYEAAAUUUUUUH...!
FUTURE TRUNKS: (reverts to base form, smiling at the sky) It's over... After everything... this feels... this feels... (eyes widen) anticlimact-
[ENDING SEQUENCE]
Everyone laughed at Trunks getting cut-off.
[STINGER]
(cut to Future Bulma talking about her "magical night" with Future Vegeta to Future Trunks)
FUTURE BULMA: So, truth be told, I never really got to know your father that well. He and I shared one night of passion after he came back to Earth.
"DO NOT!" Lucy yelled.
FUTURE TRUNKS: (uncomfortable) Mom, you-
FUTURE BULMA: And unfortunately, he didn't know what protection meant!
"OH GOD!" Lucy was panicking.
FUTURE TRUNKS: (growing horrified) I REALLY don't need to know this!
FUTURE BULMA: But after that first time, I just thought, "Well, in for a penny, in for a pounding"...
FUTURE TRUNKS/Lucy: (disgusted, nervous) Aaaaaahhhh...
FUTURE BULMA: ...and I REALLY was!
(cut to outside of Capsule Corp, with Future Trunks' horrified screaming heard from inside)
Suddenly the Lacrama lit up and two words popped up on the Lacrama.
THE END
"Guess, that's it. Let's go, Meredy," Jellal rose from his seat.
"Right, Jellal!" The girl followed closely.
"Thanks for inviting us, Erza," Jellal bowed his head.
"It was no trouble at all. I'm happy we all got to experience such a wonderful journey together," Erza watched as the two left the guild.
"See ya, Natsu!" Sting waved goodbye.
"You too, Gajeel," Rogue nodded his head.
"Don't be strangers guys, come by anytime!" Natsu grinned.
"Don't come by too much," Gajeel smirked.
"See ya, Lucy," Yukino clasped hands with her fellow Celestial Mage.
"See you later, Yukino!" Lucy gave her goodbye.
"Tch," Minerva nodded her head at Erza before following her guildmates out the door.
"It was a pleasure, Erza," Kagura bowed.
"We should do this again sometime!" Millianna purred.
"I'd like that, you two," Erza watched as they left the guild. Turning around she saw Mira standing up next to the Lacrama. "Is something wrong, Mira?" She asked.
"Hm? Nope, just trying to figure out how to shrink this. We can watch these again later with the guildmates who couldn't make it," She suggested.
"I like the sound of that idea," Makarov approved.
Natsu moved from his seat and took Lucy's hand. "Come on, Lucy! Happy! Let's go on a quest!"
"Aye Sir!" Happy flapped his wings.
"W-Wait, you mean now!?" Lucy was baffled.
"Yeah! All that sitting around got me ready to fight some monsters!" Natsu rushed out the door with his partners. He jumped into the air with Lucy in tow, the Celestial Mage screaming in fear.
"LET'S GET FIRED UP!"
Story End
NOTE: I am going to mark this story as complete, because it basically is, and I'm just done with it. The next update you see from this WILL be the bonus chapter of DBZA Kai Episode 3.
But the main stuff is done, so it's getting marked as complete.
I won't be doing that Bojack abridged movie or Buu Saga.
Thank you for reading and look forward to future stories from me.
