Author: No more author's notes! Sorry!
Goten and Teen Gohan started to slowly walk up to Cell as Cell tried to hide his fear. Goten and Gohan have reached their limits and ascended to super saiyan 2. Their hair spiked up, their muscles grew, and sparks of electricity danced around them. Both of them stopped when they were a couple of feet away from Cell as they kept scowling at him.
"At last, you've come out of hiding." Cell said while getting over his fear. Goten and Teen Gohan looked at the bag of senzu beans in Cell's hand. "Now the games will really begin."
"Gimme that!" smirked Goten as he took the bag of senzu beans. Cell was shocked of how fast he was.
"What the? H-How did you?" stuttered Cell. Cell tried to take them back, but Goten and Gohan disappeared and reappeared in front of a Cell Jr. The Cell Jr smirked and charged at Gohan.
"I hate bugs." Gohan spat as he chopped the Cell Jr's head off. The Cell Jr exploded to dust. Cell and everyone else was speechless, besides Goten and Mirai Gohan.
"You two are amazing!" cheered Mirai Trunks.
"Let's see. 1...2..3..4..5..6..7!" counted Goten. "You killed one so I'll have the four and you'll have the three."
"Sounds like a plan." smirked Gohan. Both of them disappeared to defeat the Cell Jrs. Goten found two of them near Krillin. One of the Cell Jrs laughed and held Krillin hostage. He grew his sharp nails so he can slit Krillin's throat. Goten started to walk up to them. He stopped and held out his hand to form a ki blast. The Cell Jrs were surprised and scared. One of the Cell Jrs started to poke Krillin to remind Goten what he was going to do.
"Goten, Don't worry about me. Just do what you gotta do." Krillin replied weakly. One of the Cell Jrs backed away and flew off. "Do it Goten!" Goten put his hand down. As soon as Goten put his hand down, The Cell Jr let go of Krillin and fired a blast at Goten. There was an explosion as the Cell Jr smirked. His smirk disappeared when he found Goten above him while holding Krillin. He put Krillin down towards Piccolo and reappeared in front of the Cell Jr. He kicked the Cell Jr's head off.
"Lucky hit." Gohan scowled. Goten scowled back.
"I-I can't believe what I'm seeing." stuttered Vegeta. Goten floated down near Cell.
"So, this is the power Gohan was talking about." Cell smirked. "Well, let's see if you can handle 3 of them." Gohan floated next to Goten. Instead of 3, all 6 of them charged at them. Gohan and Goten crossed their arms in a Vegeta like way. When the Cell Jrs attacked, both boys quickly charged their ki as dust exploded around. One by one, they dodged the Cell Jrs attacks.
"I see you!" sang Goten. He turned around and kicked a Cell Jr in the stomach, making it explode. Teen Gohan punched a Cell Jr in the face, making it explode. The 4 Cell Jrs backed away. One of them charged at Goten. Goten threw the bag of senzu beans in the air and karate chopped the Cell Jr, destroying it. Gohan and Goten kept swatting the Cell Jrs away. When the Cell Jrs were on the ground, Gohan caught the senzu beans.
"Nice catch." Goten admitted.
"Nice throw." Gohan replied. The Cell Jrs slowly started to get back up. When they saw this, Goten and Gohan put their hands up and started to charge their ki. Due to the power, The Cell Jrs were sent flying and crashing to a mountain. Elsewhere, Piccolo was helping Goku up.
"Didn't I tell ya Piccolo? They're going to do it." Goku reminded. Piccolo didn't respond and went to help Mirai Gohan up. Back at the fight, Goten and Gohan finished charging their ki. The Cell Jrs emerged from the pile of rocks.
"Wanna finish this?" Goten asked Gohan. Gohan nodded. Both of them disappeared and reappeared behind a Cell Jr. They both punched him in the face, making him destroyed. Gohan then did a uppercut to one of the Cell Jrs and split it in half. The two remaining Cell Jrs backed away and bumped into each other. Goten and Gohan appeared in front of them. They both kneed the Cell Jrs in the stomach, destroying them both.
"They destroyed all of them like it was nothing!" Vegeta pointed. Goten took the beans away from Gohan, ignoring the scowl from him In return.
"Pass these around Trunks!" Goten threw the beans at Mirai Trunks, who caught it.
"Sure. No problem." Mirai Trunks replied. Goten and Gohan returned their gaze back at Cell. Both boys started to walk up to Cell.
"You might have gotten past my children. But, You can't get past me." smirked Cell. Goten and Gohan didn't reply. Goten looked at Gohan, who nodded in approval. Goten charged at Cell. "That's it!" Cell replied. He chopped Goten, who used afterimage. Cell looked up and saw Goten and Gohan facing down at him. Cell charged at them while Goten and Gohan didn't move. Cell tried to punch them, but they used afterimage again. Cell growled.
"Come on, you're not even trying!" smirked Goten.
"I thought you'll be a challenge." also smirked Gohan. Cell growled and charged at them. He started to punch them as they kept dodging his attacks. Goten and Gohan were about to punch Cell, who jumped in the air. That made Goten's fist punch Gohan's fist.
"Whoops! We missed." Goten said sarcastically.
"Oh, you didn't miss." Gohan replied. Goten smirked and chuckled.
"Not now. Maybe after we defeat Cell." Goten reasoned. Gohan nodded. They both disappeared and reappeared in front of Cell. Cell tried to punch them, but they keep dodging his punches.
"Stop mocking me!" Cell shouted. He kicked Gohan, who blocked it. Goten then jumped from above Gohan and tried to punch Cell. Cell dodged some of his punches. Gohan and Goten jumped back as Cell shot a ki blast. Goten deflected it. They both charged at Cell and punched him In the face. Cell crashed to the ground hard. Goten and Gohan landed where Cell crashed while Cell slowly got back up.
"You little brats!" yelled Cell while powering up. The whole earth started to shake, but Goten and Gohan kept standing there. Cell finished powering up and smirked at the boys. Goten and Gohan kept scowling at him. Cell growled and punched Gohan in the face.
"Wow, he's quick." pointed Mirai Trunks.
"His speed increased as much as his power. Incredible!" Vegeta pointed. Cell smirked. His smirk disappeared when Gohan slowly put his head up as Goten chuckled. Cell was about to punch them again until Goten punched him the stomach hard. Cell gasped for air until Gohan did a uppercut. Cell went flying until he caught himself. As he stood up, he started to wobble. Cell was shocked that they only used two punches to knock him down. Goten and Gohan slowly started to walk up to Cell.
Hercule and the others
"Is the camera fixed yet?" asked the reporter. The camera man was still fixing the camera.
"No." The camera man replied. The reporter sighed.
The fight
Goten and Gohan stopped when they were a foot away from Cell.
"You two are foolish as you're fathers!" growled Cell. "It's time for you to learn some respect." Gohan and Goten kept staring at Cell as Cell kept growling. Cell brought his leg back and kicked Goten, who kept blocking it. Cell tried to kick them one more time, until Gohan caught his leg. Gohan then kicked Cell in the face really hard. Cell skid through the rocks.
"That kick was okay." Goten admitted. Gohan huffed. "Let's make this more fun. How about we defeat Cell with our eyes closed?"
"You just made this fight more interesting. Great idea!" agreed Gohan. Goten and Gohan both closed their eyes.
"I will not be humiliated by two children!" shouted Cell. Cell stood up and formed two destructo discs in his hands.
"Look out!" warned Krillin.
"Destructo disc!" shouted Cell while throwing the discs. Goten and Gohan easily caught the discs. Cell and the others, besides Goku and Mirai Gohan, were amazed.
"H-He caught them! He caught the discs!" stuttered Krillin.
"Impossible!" Vegeta replied.
"Next time, don't shout out your attack." smirked Goten. Both of them destroyed the discs. Cell snapped out of his shock and jumped in the air.
"Special Beam Cannon!" shouted Cell. He fired the cannon and laughed evily. Gohan shook his head and swatted the blast away. "Curse you!" Cell then started to fire ki blasts through his finger. The blasts went right through them. "Those blasts went through them." stuttered Cell. Goten and Gohan walked up to Cell.
"We told you what would happen if you pushed us too far. And you didn't listen. Now you forced us to awaken our hidden power, and now you're afraid. Because you know that we'll destroy you!" Goten and Gohan said in unison. Cell started to shake. Cell blasted off to the sky.
"Alright! I think Cell is running away!" cheered Krillin.
"Kaaaa...Meeee...Haaa...Meee..." Cell shouted while charging the kamehameha wave.
"Don't do it Cell!" Goku warned. Mirai Gohan just kept staring.
"HA HA HA! Here you go! Let's see if you can stop this! I'm going to destroy the entire planet!And there's nothing you can do!" laughed Cell.
"Goten! Gohan! Get out of there! He's gonna do it!" warned Krillin. Goten and Gohan kept standing there.
"HAAAAAAAA!" yelled Cell while firing the wave.
"So, you wanna take this?" asked Goten. Gohan nodded.
"Ka...Me..Ha..Me...HAA!" shouted Gohan while firing the kamehameha wave. It easily took over Cell's wave and hit Cell dead on. Wind, dust, and rocks flew everywhere while the Z fighters struggle to stand still. The blast went into space so it wouldn't do harm to the earth. Once the dust settled, Cell was seen missing some body parts. His left arm and leg was missing, and both of his spikes on the top of his head was missing, and his right wing was missing. Both Goten and Gohan smirked at the results.
"T-There's no way those little brats could be so strong!" stuttered Cell while in pain. Goten and Gohan still smirked.
"Hey! If he waits too long, Cell will regenerate!" reminded Piccolo.
"Gohan! Goten! You need to finish Cell off now!" ordered Goku. Goten and Gohan ignored him.
"Now? We can't, we were just having fun." replied Gohan.
"We're gonna make him suffer some more." also replied Goten.
"Wait? No Gohan!" disagreed Goku.
"You two gotta finish him now!" ordered Mirai Gohan. Goten looked at his dad then turned back around. Cell then started to regenerate his missing body parts.
"You miserable children!" shouted Cell in anger. "How dare you! HOW DARE YOU!" Cell then started to power up and grew a lot bigger and more muscular. He landed down In front of Gohan and Goten. "Boys! You won't defeat me! Worthless saiyans like you two can't compete with me!" Cell tried to Punch them, but he was too slow and they both dodged it.
"You're too slow!" Goten sang. Cell turned around and tried to punch them, but they dodged again. Cell kept doing it as Goten and Gohan kept dodging his every attack. Goten and Gohan smirked at each other and kicked Cell in the face really hard. Cell was sent skidding through the ground.
"You two aren't boys! You're monsters!" stuttered Cell while trying to get back up. Goten and Gohan kicked Cell in the stomach hard. Cell started to gasp for air as saliva and blood ran down his mouth. "What've you two done to me?" Cell then started to gag as something started to come up his throat.
"Look," Krillin pointed towards Cell. "Something's happening."
"He's sick." suggested Piccolo.
"This is gonna be good." smirked Mirai Gohan. Everyone looked towards him.
"What do you mean?" asked Tien.
"Just watch." Mirai Gohan replied. Cell then covered his mouth, trying to keep the thing in his mouth. He failed and regurgitated a object covered in vomit or spit. Goten and Gohan's eye twitched.
"What is that?" asked Vegeta. No one replied. Krillin soon found out who it was.
"It's Android 18!" pointed Krillin.
"Looks like Cell's gonna be semi-perfect." Mirai Gohan chuckled.
"You're right." agreed Piccolo. Cell started to transform into his semi-perfect form. Everyone was surprised.
"Look! He's changed! He's not in his perfect form anymore!" pointed Mirai Trunks. Cell turned around and saw Goten and Gohan giving him a blank expression.
"BOYS!" shouted Cell in frustration. He took one giant step as Gohan and Goten didn't reply. He took another giant step, but didn't get a reply. "You little insects, you've made a fool of me!" Cell yelled in frustration and charged at the two boys. He tried to punch them, but he was too slow. Gohan then raced towards Cell and kicked him in the stomach. Cell skidded towards the hole where the ring used to be. He turned around to see Goten and Gohan walking up to him. "Stay away you monsters!"
"Monsters? Last time I checked you called yourself the ultimate life form." smirked Goten. Cell backed away until he fell in the hole and caught himself by holding the edge of the hole. Gohan stepped on his hand.
"Give up! Or fall!" smirked Gohan. Cell refused and climbed back up. Goten put his foot to Cell's face as both Gohan and Goten pushed Cell. He started to fall down the hole until he flew up. But Gohan expected this and kneed him n the face. Cell crashed in the rocks.
"I'll get you boys! I swear I will!" Cell swore as Goten and Gohan walked up to him.
"Just give up! You know you can't win." reasoned Goten.
"N-NO! Stay back!" warned Cell. He yelled and powered up. The wind started to blow fiercely. Cell started to grow big and fat until he was as big as a blimp.
"Oh no. I can't!" Mirai Gohan said to himself. He remembered when Goku sacrificed himself for the earth. Leaving Gohan and his mom. He know has to relive this moment all over again. Cell raised his hand.
"Boys! This is the end for the both of you! You thought you could beat me? I'm going to blow myself up along with you and this planet!" laughed Cell.
"Don't!" warned Goten and Gohan.
"What? Blow up the earth?" asked Vegeta in disbelief. Mirai Gohan looked towards Goku who sighed and mouthed 'I have to.'
"Watch out! You might make me explode!" laughed Cell as Gohan and Goten went in a stance. "One little shot and I'll blow up! Buh-Bye Goten! Buh-Bye Gohans and Goku!" Cell grew bigger. "One more minute boys! And It's Buh-Bye earth!" Goten and Gohan sunk to their knees.
"I failed." whispered Gohan.
"We should've listened to them! We should've finished him off!" Goten yelled to himself. Gohan pounded his fist to the ground. Goku turned around to the others.
"What's the matter Goku? You have a plan?" asked Krillin. Goku smiled.
"There's only one way to save the earth now." Goku replied. He put two fingers to his forehead.
"...Dad..." Mirai Gohan whispered. Goku patted him on the shoulder.
"Sorry Gohan. I have to do what's right. Please, take care of everyone. Even Goten. I'm proud of you both." Goku smiled. He I.T. To Cell.
"Goodbye Dad!" cried Mirai Gohan. Goten and Gohan looked up when they saw Goku facing Cell.
"Dad?" asked a confused Gohan. Goku turned and smiled.
"Hey. You two put up a good fight. I'm proud of both of you."
"What? Daddy?"
"Take care of your mother for me Gohan, she needs you. And Goten, take care of Gohan. You're the only thing that keeps him happy." Goku smiled. Goten and Gohan gasped. "Goodbye, my sons."
"Sons?" asked a even more confused Gohan. Goku then turned his attention towards Cell. Goku used I.T. To teleport Cell away from the earth.
"NO! COME BACK!" yelled Gohan.
"Goku!" shouted Krillin. Gohan immediately had tears flowing down his eyes. Mirai Gohan went to comfort him.
"DADDY!" cried Gohan. He started to cry on his future self's chest. Mirai Gohan rubbed his back.
"I'm sorry." Goten whispered.
"For what?" asked Mirai Gohan as a tear dropped from his cheek.
"For not finishing Cell off. I should have while I had the chance." Goten replied. Mirai Gohan smiled.
"It's alright squirt." Mirai Gohan smiled. He dragged Goten to join the hug. After a moment of silence, Gohan let go of Mirai Gohan.
"Wait," Gohan wiped his tears. "Before dad left, why did he say 'Goodbye, my sons?'" Mirai Gohan and Goten were silent. "Tell me." Gohan growled.
"Gohan..." Goten's voice trailed off.
"TELL ME NOW!" Gohan yelled.
"IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT MY DAD!" Goten yelled back. Everyone went silent.
"What?" Gohan asked/whispered in frustration.
"You're not my dad Gohan!" cried Goten. "In my timeline, Mom died and you had to raise me when you were eleven years old!" Goten yelled in frustration.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!" Screamed Gohan.
"BECAUSE I WANTED YOU TO BE HAPP.." Goten couldn't finish his sentence because Gohan punched him square in the face.
"Stop it Gohan!" ordered Piccolo. Gohan ignored him.
"That's enough!" shouted Mirai Gohan. Goten sat up and wiped the new blood off his lip. He tackled Gohan and started to punch him in the face.
"I wanted you to be happy!" Goten yelled while continuing to punch Gohan repeatedly in the face. Gohan caught his punch and punched Goten to get him off. Both of them dropped out of super saiyan 2. Before the both of them could kill each other, Piccolo and Mirai Gohan broke it up. Krillin made his move and picked Android 18 up.
"After all this time, I thought you were my son! And now you're my little brother?!" Gohan growled.
"That's right! I just wanted to make you happy. I wanted to spend some time with you." Goten reasoned. Gohan stopped struggling to get out of Piccolo's grip. "You're the only father figure I had. You're my idol, my brother, my father!" At this point, Both Goten and Gohan had tears streaming down their faces.
"Goten..." Gohan quietly said while Piccolo let go of him. Mirai Gohan let go of Goten.
"Gohan..." Goten's voice trailed off. Gohan gave Goten a hug.
"I'm sorry." Gohan apologized.
"Me too." Goten replied. After the little scene, a strong gust of wind started to pick up, almost knocking down Goten and Gohan.
"Oh no! I forgot!" Mirai Gohan cursed.
"No way!" Vegeta stuttered.
"He's back!" Piccolo disbelieved. Dust started to block the Z Fighters view of the figure. They didn't need to see because they sensed the life form. Mirai Gohan then turned towards Mirai Trunks.
"Trunks! Move!" Mirai Gohan raced towards Mirai Trunks. All of a sudden, a beam shot out from the dust and it aimed at Mirai Trunks. Mirai Gohan jumped in front of Trunks.
"Gohan?" asked a confused Mirai Trunks. All he got was a yelp and a bloodied Mirai Gohan.
"GOHAN!" Shouted Piccolo while staring at the bloody Mirai Gohan. Goten didn't dare to turn around. All he heard was the Z fighters gasp.
"Oh no! Gohan!" shouted Teen Gohan. Goten slowly turned his head and his tears came back.
The man who raised him for 7 years, the man who comforted him when he cried, the man he called a brother, a father, was dead.
