One week passed in a blur of training, eating, and more training, with little to no sleep. By the end of the training the two saiyans were worn out and passed out, for the first sleeping more than a few hours.

"Ugh," Gohan moaned, "I'm not tired at least... but i overslept a bit... better wake up Tr-"

Gohan stopped short as he looked over only to find Trunks lying dead in a pool of blood as the monstrous androids stood over him laughing before shooting a blast through Gohan's chest.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Gohan roared as he woke up from what he could only think was a nightmare.

Looking over at his young companion, Gohan could only feel relieved that the only loved one he had left in the world was alive and next to him. However, moments later Gohan felt his stomach bunch up as he thought of what they would have to do shortly. Their training had ended with both of them only being able to triple their original power levels, by Gohan's own calculations. Though they had trained hard Gohan couldn't help but question his ability to properly protect Trunks and defeat the androids.

"Well... no sense in laying around, i'll grill something for us to eat before we leave." Gohan said out loud, if only to remind himself that he was still alive.

Nearly a half hour later, multiple burn wounds, and a few explosions later Gohan set up the table inside the chamber and woke Trunks up. After trading a few words the boys sat down together and enjoyed a slightly burnt banquet of meat.

…

"What's that?" Thought Mr. Popo as he suddenly heard voices from somewhere.

"Could it be..." Mr. Popo murmured allowed, "are the boys done already?"

A silent exclamation of happiness left Popo's mouth as he saw the young saiyans come out of the corridor leading to the chamber. He couldn't help it as a tear left his eye as he saw a young Goku standing behind Gohan, even though he was gone with a blink. Popo knew it was his mind playing tricks on him but he knew deep down, the thing that made Goku a great hero had been completely reborn in the two young heroes.

"Oh! Popo!" Exclaimed Gohan as he saw the pudgy caretaker of the lookout

"We finished our training!" Exclaimed the excited purple haired boy

"Good, i'm glad," Popo admitted, "Trunks, Gohan would you like me to cut your hair?"

"Yeah, okay!" Trunks said excitedly

"No thanks," Gohan said, "Maybe after the fight, let's go trunks... We'll be back Mr. Popo!"

With a wave goodbye Gohan flew off in search of the androids with Trunks following shortly behind. Both flew in silence mentally preparing for the battle that was to come. They knew that the time they had spent in the chamber resulted in multiple deaths of innocent humans, however, they also knew the time needed to train was what they needed to win. So they flew, for hours, searching for the androids... It must have been hours later when they finally found the twins in the middle of one of their "games".

"Hey... how's it going?" Trunks asked with a smirk as he landed

"Well, if it isn't our friendly neighborhood heroes" Android 17 exclaimed

"And it looks as if they are in major need of a grooming," Android 18 said narrowing her eyes, "Why don't we send them to one"

"Good idea, sis," Android 17 said with a smile, "Let's send them to meet Goku while-"

But he could go not finish his sentence, for he was sent flying backwards. It was at the mention of his father's name that Gohan transformed instantly into a super saiyan and attacked. Android 18 moved to hit Gohan but was stopped by Gohan grabbing her leg and sending her flying with a kick.

"Don't. Mention. My. Father's. Name. Again!" Gohan spat out each word flaring his aura out to its farthest extent, clenching his fists burrowing his brow.

"Ok... have it your way" Android 17 said as he narrowed his eyes and flew at Gohan.

Before Gohan could react however, Trunks flew at Android 17 and sent him into the sky with a kick before flying up after him.

"This. This is for my father" Trunks said sternly

Trunks flew at Android 17 sending out a flurry of punches and kicks all of which surprised 17 and hit him point blank. Android 17 flew back; spat out the blood he tasted in his mouth and flew at Trunks fully intending to kill him. However, the boy was stronger and more experienced then he was the last time they fought and was fully able to counter and keep up with the android.

"Heh," Android 17 scoffed, "Seems your seclusion wasn't out of cowardice, but just like the others you will fall before me!"

"Not going to happen" Trunks stated

Trunks charged up a small blast he knew would never kill the monster but would suit as a distraction and threw it at the android flying behind the blast and landing a punch to the Androids sternum sending the android reeling into a nearby building. Meanwhile, on the ground, Gohan was able to completely overwhelm and counter the blonde android. Android 18 flew back with an enraged expression, grabbing the nearest human who happened to be a girl with short black hair, blue eyes, and a body only a fighter would have.

"She's cute," Gohan thought, "her eyes have amazing fight in them, even though she knows she's outmatched."

"Stay back!" Android 18 shouted, "or I'll kill her!"

Enraged Gohan flew at full speed, barely able to remove Android 18's arm before she broke the girls neck and sent the android flying into a building with a punch that contained all his anger, all his frustration, and all his anguish.

"You... what's your name?" Gohan asked

"My name is Videl," The girl uttered, "Thanks for the save"

"You're welcome now go somewhere save, Videl." Gohan commanded

"Right" Videl muttered walking away, trying to ignore her thoughts about the Golden haired man who saved her

Gohan couldn't help but stare at the girl in admiration, she oddly reminded him of his mother. Gohan was sent flying back before he righted himself in time to kick the blonde android into the sky and fly after her. Gohan hit android 18 a few times as hard as he could sending her flying back each time before sending her flying into the ground with a Kamehameha aimed at her stomach only to see android 17 sent flying down in the Big Bang attack Gohan had taught Trunks. Android 17 fell on top of his sister; both staring up in total disbelief at the two boys who changed their hair's color as much as a woman changed her clothes.

"W-what's going on?!" Android 17 yelled "We should be absolute! We should be the strongest!"

"Every era has its beginning and its end," Gohan said calmly, "The era of the demon androids has come to an end"

"We're stronger then you now," Trunks said, "Say goodbye, this is your end!"

With a look that made the expression "if looks could kill" seem real the androids sent blasts, more than capable of ripping through a planet, at the two saiyan heroes.

"Pathetic," Gohan said with a smirk moving his hand behind him, "Ka-me-ha-me-ha!"

Gohan's Kamehameha, his father's trademark technique, met with the androids blast canceling it out.

"Here, goes! Say goodbye," Trunks exclaimed, "for my father! Big-Bang-Attack!"

Charging up his father's attack Trunks sent it flying at the Androids whose eyes were wide in amazement and terror at the two men who were able to overpower them. The blast met the androids head on and lead to an explosion that rocked the city and would be forever known as the moment the earth was reborn anew.

...

At the same time sitting a mile away a strange green monster looked at what happened outraged and surprised. The two ingredients he needed in order to fulfill his purpose were just destroyed before his very own eyes. It was unbelievable, the only one who should have been able to beat the androids was him and yet there they were, the two super saiyan descendants of Goku and Vegeta descending from the heavens like a duo of angels. Turning away and walking off, Cell vowed to destroy the boys when he was done with his "meal".
