Chapter 17: Return of an old enemy.
"Congratulations, Son Gohan! Youve been promoted to an S class mage!" cheered Makarov, while clapping.
"Gohan!Gohan!Gohan!" cheered the crowd in excitement, making Gohan smile.
"Thanks everyone!" said Gohan, not used to getting so much attention.
He got off the platform, and went towards the medical room, to check on his friends.
"Congrats man!" "Congratulations Gohan!" said Natsu and Erza, smiling.
"Thank you!" smiled Gohan, while he walked up to Trunks. He gave him some of his ki, and Trunks had enough ki to fly back home
"Thanks..." said Trunks, making Gohan nod. "Lets get back to the guild building maybe?" asked Gohan, making everyone nod.
They grabbed a hold of Gohan, and Gohan instant transmissioned them to the guild building.
They appeared near Grey and Cana. "Hey everyone, how it is?" asked Gohan, smiling.
"Well, were good. Congratulations on the promontion Gohan!" said Cana and Grey, cheerfuly.
"Thanks!" said Gohan, while giving a thumbs up. "So, Gohan, want me to try to tell you your future?" asked Cana
"You can do that? Well, okay, sure!" answered Gohan, smiling. Cana took a seat and put some of her cards on the table. She closed her eyes, and looked into the future.
Cana opened her eyes, slightly shocked. "So, what did you see? Will i meet my family ?" Gohan questioned Cana, as she turned around.
"Gohan, train as much as you can. And to answer your second question, yes and no" said Cana, collecting her cards and getting up.
Gohan looked at Cana with a surprised look. "Thank you" said Gohan, making Cana nod.
"We will continue our training tomorrow! But for now, lets rest" announced Gohan, making everyone nod.
"Actually, Gohan, we should celebrate your promotion!" said Makarov, walking into the room where Gohan and his friends/ students were.
"Thanks but, you dont have to..." said Gohan, slightly blushing.
"Nonsense ! We will have a big feast in the evening!" said Makarov, making everyone happy.
"Wow, thank you master!" said Gohan, smiling. Makarov nodded, and went to do his normal things.
"Well, id better get going! See you guys and girls in the evening!" said Gohan, as he left the guild building.
"Bye Gohan!" said everyone, before they too left the guild building.
*4 month timeskip*
During the 4 months, Gohan became slightly stronger than buu saga Goku, and Trunks regained all of the strength that he lost due to being transform into a kid. Cana, Erza, Grey and Natsu all learned how to fly properly and the kamehameha wave. They were about as strong as Goku during the early saiyan saga.
-Fairy Tail, with Gohan-
"So today, il try to teach you how to sense ki, just close your eyes, and try to focus" explained Gohan, as everyone did what he told them to do.
"You mean like this, right?" asked a mysterious, but familiar voice behind Gohan. Gohan and Trunks tensed up, and had a shocked expression on their faces.
'N-NO!... It cant be!' Thought Gohan, before charging a powerful ki blast and throwing it at the figure behind him.
The ki blast connected, and a giant explosion occured. Gohans students flew back from the shockwave of the explosion. "Why did you do that for Gohan?" asked Natsu, rubbing his head.
Gohan didnt pay attention to Natsu, and stared at the cloud of smoke before him, with a serious expression on his face. Laughing could be heard from the cloud, and when it settled, there stood Cell...
"Youve gotten stronger, Gohan. And you, Trunks, look much smaller than the last time we fought." said Cell, smirking. "How did you get here Cell?!" asked Gohan, with venom in his voice.
"Well, someone by the name of Zeref revived me, and let me train at his place for 4 months!" laughed Cell "I won't fight you today, Gohan. Il give you one day to prepare, after which we will fight. If you dont show up, il destroy the solar system!" chuckled Cell, receiving an angry glare from Gohan.
"Tell me, have you killed anyone in 4 months?" asked Gohan, clenching his fists.
"A few villages here and there." answered Cell, grinning. "Tomorrow, you will pay for the pain youve caused!" said Gohan, making Cell laugh.
"We will see Gohan, we will see..." said Cell, before taking off. Gohan stood there, and then turned around to face his friends.
"Gohan, is that the Cell from your story?" asked Cana, slightly shaking. Gohan nodded, and looked at where Cell took off.
"Yes, and hes stronger then before... I barely beat him last time, so i dont know if i could take him down now" said Gohan, while walking up to Natsu.
"Do you know whos Zeref?" asked Gohan, making Natsu nod. "Hes my immortal older brother... How could he revive such a monster?!" said Natsu, with fire in his eyes.
"Training is postponed for a bit, we need to rest up as much as we can for tomorrow" said Gohan, making everyone nod.
"Until then, see you soon everyone..." said Gohan, before leaving for his room.
"Do you think that he will beat Cell?" Erza asked Trunks, who in turn, raised his shoulders.
"I dont know... Nightmares never last, one day you wake up, and theyre gone" answered Trunks, before taking off to his own room.
*The next day, Fairy Tail, with Gohan*
Cell raised his ki to indicate where he will be. 'Here goes nothing...' Gohan flew in Cells direction, to beat the monster once and for all...
"We should follow Gohan! Trunks, you lead the way!" said Erza, receiving a nod from everyone else. Trunks flew in Gohans direction, and everyone followed him
Gohan landed next to Cell, and stared down the bio android. He walked up to Cell, still staring at him. Cell smirked, and started powering up. Gohan firs turned Mssj, then he turned Mssj2. Gohan began attacking Cell, trying to punch the bio android, but Cell kept blocking all of his attacks. Cell saw an opening, and punched Gohan in the face. Gohan wasnt fazed by the attack, and kicked Cells chin, sending him back. Cell then started attacking Gohan, but Gohan blocked all of Cells attack with some difficulty. He kicked Cell in the gut, and charged at him. Cell was ready to counter attack, but he kicked an after-image of Gohan. Cell dropped his guard, and the real Gohan began attacking Cell. He kicked Cell, and sent him flying into a nearby hill, destroying it.
Gohan landed near where Cell crashed. "I know youre there Cell, come out!" said Gohan, getting ready for Cells next attack. Cell flew up from the crash site, laughing. "I can sense that youre still hiding a bit of power. Why dont you use it?" asked Cell, landing. "I sense youre holding back too, Cell." answered Gohan, after which he heard a familiar voice behind him.
"Hey Gohan!" said Trunks, landing near Gohan with the rest of the crew. "What are you doing here?!" asked Gohan, with a shocked expression on his face.
"I suppose that they wont interfere, right Gohan?" asked Cell, with a serious expression on his face. "No, they will only watch us." said Gohan, with an equally serious expression.
"Very well then. Minute by minute, il reveal to you the true power of perfection!" said Cell, powering up. Gohan began powering up too, going full power. Cell rushed at Gohan, and elbowed him in the face, sending him flying. He then tried to kick Gohan, but he disappeared, and reappeared behind Cell, kicking him. 'Come on Gohan, you can do it...' Thought Trunks while watching the fight. Gohan fired ki blasts at Cell, due to Cell still flying to the ground, they connected with him. Cell flew up, with an angry expression on his face. Gohan drew blood from Cell, and he powered up slightly, surprising Gohan. He kicked Gohan, and sent him flying back. Gohan flew up to gain some distance between him and Cell. Cell caught up with Gohan, and back handed him , which sent him flying into the ground.
'No! Gohan!' thought Erza, beginning to get worried for Gohan. He got up, rubbing his head. Gohan charged at Cell again, and began attacking him. Cell blocked almost all of Gohans attacks, and tried to counter Gohans attack. The result was both punching each other in the face... Gohan was slightly panting, but so was Cell. Just then, a girl with long blue hair and brown eyes was walking with a small white cat, that had a similar appearance to Happy. Cell sensed them, and smirked. "Tell me, Gohan, how much will you sacrifice to protect the people of this planet?" asked Cell, chuckling. Gohan was surprised at that question, until he sensed two small kis not too far from here. Trunks sensed them too, and went to investigate. Cell launched a small, but fast ki blast at them, with the intention of killing them.
Trunks flew up to them, with a semi worried expression of his face. "Get away from here! Its not safe!" said Trunks, slightly scaring the girl. "And who are you?" asked the exceed, with a firm expression. Trunks saw the ki blast, and moved infront of the girl and the exceed to protect them. He took the blast head on, and it created a big explosion that sent the girl and the exceed back.
Gohan watched in awe at what just happened. "NO! TRUNKS!" yelled Gohan, as he then glared angrily at Cell. Due to his anger, his ki began increasing. Cell smirked "Why did Trunks sacrifice himself to save that girl and that cat? Honestly, i dont understand these saiyans." said Cell , chuckling. He resumed his battle with Gohan...
The group ran up to where Trunks was, and saw him laying on the ground, with his arm bleeding heavily. He got up with the help of Natsu and Grey, and Cana ran up to the girl and the exceed. "Are you okay?" asked Cana, receiving a nod from the girl and the exceed. "My name is Wendy Marvell, and her name is Carla" answered Wendy, making Cana nod. "What do we do?!" asked Natsu, scared of loosing Trunks. "I dont think hel make it to the medical room!" said Grey, with a sad expression on his face. "I can try to help" said Wendy, walking up to Trunks. She put her hands on where the wound was, and began manipulating air to heal Trunks. In no time, the wound disappeared, and Trunks was back to normal.
"Thanks! My name is Trunks Briefs, whats your name?" asked Trunks, while getting up. "My name is Wendy Marvell. Thanks for savinf me..." said Wendy, making Trunks nod.
"So, why are those two barbarians fighting?" asked Carla, as she came up to the group. "Well, the bug like tall thing wants to kill Gohan and then destroy everything..." said Erza, making Carla and Wendy take on a shocked expression...
That was it for chapter 17! Tell me what you think!
