Chapter 21
Time had frozen for all the Z-Fighters. Death was so close to Brila and Gohan. Goku, Trunks and Vegeta kept trying their best to escape the stranglehold of the Cell Juniors but nothing worked.
Brila closed her eyes tightly after glancing over to Kaiser one last time. The tail moved right towards her but…the pain never came but the stabbing sound came.
*STAB*
She heard blood drip and then realization struck her. Gohan was next to her, Cell got him. "GOHAN! No… He got Gohan…" She said as she felt her heart sink. She moved her head to the right and slowly opened her eyes expecting to see Gohan's lifeless body. She slowly opened her eyes and when she did she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Gohan was alive, the tail never reached him either but something was wrong. He was looking forwards with tear filled eyes and disbelief. She then heard a sickening whimpering sound that sounded all too familiar. She had to force her head to look forward because she started to recognize that voice. As she glanced forward, her world fell apart.
Kaiser stood there with Cell's tail sticking out of his well toned abs. His eyes were barely open, his arms and legs were shaking and blood was seeping out of his mouth. In his hands he was holding Cell's tail that was long enough to stab her if he hadn't had that iron grip on it.
"NO!" Vegeta yelled as he managed to punch the Cell Junior away. He rocketed to the green monster and made an attempt to unleash his fury. Cell smirked and quickly retracted his tail from Kaiser's small body and retaliated against Vegeta's assault. Blood spilled all over the place and before his body fell to the ground Brila caught him. His once golden hair and tail went back to their original colors. Gohan and Brila watched the large hole in Kaiser stomach. The two were trembling and especially Brila who was looking at the love of her life in pain and despair. His body twitched as he coughed up a pint of blood. The blood spilled on Brila's lower gi.
"K-K-Kaiser?" She said as she looked into his eyes.
"Say something!" Gohan gasped.
"W-Wait your turn Brila…" Kaiser whispered. "Listen up Gohan." He said silently. Gohan leaned closer to his best friend's bruised face waiting for him to speak.
"G-Gohan. I know what was Goku was talking about."
"W-What?"
"You have got hidden power. Gohan. Let it go. I know you don't want to use that power to kill but Gohan, if you don't, everyone will d-die. You can save everyone Gohan. We fight to protect this planet and all the people on it. What's the point of your power if you don't use it to protect the people who are precious to you? You're my brother Gohan and I trust that you'll save everyone." He concluded. Gohan didn't nod; he just stared at his best friend. Gohan could feel it; he could feel his life force running out.
Kaiser slowly turned his head to Brila who was staring at him. He could tell that there was a lot of pain in her eyes. He smiled weakly and tried to part his eye lids a little more so he could fully gaze at her beauty. "B-Brila. I have only met you a couple of d-days ago and the bond that we have formed is an unbreakable one. You have influenced my life more than I-" He paused as he coughed up a little more blood. "Thought you would." Before he could say another word, Brila lunged at him hugging him tightly.
"Don't say another word. Besides you have to keep your promise. Remember? You said you wouldn't die. So shut up." She said softly. She was clearly in denial. Gohan closed his eyes tightly and gritted his teeth. He knew his best friend was dying.
"Listen to me Brila." He said as his vision was starting to blur.
"What is it Kaisy?" She asked in a rather cheerfully.
"I love you Bri. Don't you ever forget that. I love you with all my heart." He whispered.
Brila's eyes filled with tears and she hugged him even tighter not wanting to ever let go. "I love you too Kaisy. After this is over, we will go out on a date okay?" She said sweetly but to her surprise, she got no answer.
"Kaisy? What's wrong don't you want to-" She said as she moved away from him but when she did, she felt like dying. His eyes were closed and he was no longer breathing. He was dead.
"Kaiser?" She whispered. "No…Kaiser…YOU PROMISED! YOU LIAR! KAISER! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME! DON'T LEAVE ME KAISER!" She yelled as she buried her face in his chest. Tears were flowing out of her eyes that mixed with his blood that was seeping out of his wounds. Her loud cries filled the entire plains. Everyone stared in shock and despair. The first one to break the silence was the new reporter.
"What you're seeing now folks, is the death of a hero. The boy sacrificed himself for his friends. However to our disappointment we can only remember him as the delivery boy #2." He said in shame.
"Don't worry citizens of the Earth!" Hercule yelled out. "I will avenge the boy." He continued arrogantly. However no one paid any attention to the oaf. They were all too shocked to see Kaiser's lifeless body. Even the Cell Juniors stopped attacking as they too could feel the magnitude of Kaiser's death.
"Kaiser…" Goku said silently as he remembered all the moments he had spent with the young Saiyan from Yardrat to present day. It hurt him inside knowing that there was nothing he could and then for the first time in so many years…he cried.
Trunks had already fallen to his knees as soon as his brother stopped breathing. He gritted his teeth as tears streamed down his face. He also walked down memory lane as he remembered meeting his brother as a child, the time they spent in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and the time they spent at Capsule Corp. as a family. "It isn't f-fair! Why did HE have to die?" Trunks yelled in despair as there was no one to answer him.
The rest of the Z-Fighters also froze and watched as the Brila was crying her eyes out to Kaiser's death. They too couldn't help but shed a few tears. Even Piccolo couldn't hold himself back. He cried once before when he died protecting Gohan and now just once more, he would cry for this little Saiyan runt.
Vegeta was soon flicked away and crashed into the ground. "D-Damn it! Why? Why did you have to protect them?" Vegeta scowled. He knew it was a stupid question. He knew his son would lay down his life in order to protect his friends. He let out a cry of agony as tears started to roll down his cheeks. He punched the ground repeatedly in despair but this only made a certain green monster chuckle with amusement.
"Oh come on. Don't be so upset." He said almost gently as he hovered in the sky. "You'll be joining him soon." Cell hissed maliciously. "Why have you stopped attacking, my children? Finish the job!" He growled and then right on command, the Cell Juniors resumed their onslaught on the Earth's Special Forces.
At Capsule Corp…
Bulma was shivering as she heard the lasts words of the news reporter. Tears began to form into her eyes. Mrs. Briefs couldn't watch any longer but she had to stay strong. Mr. Briefs, who always finished his cigar, put it before it was even half way through.
"M-Mom." Bulma managed to finally say. "Please tell me he's not dead." Bulma said as her gaze did not move away from the TV.
"Oh honey." She said as she embraced Bulma into a warm hug. Just then, the camera focused on Kaiser's bloody and unfortunately dead body. Bulma's heart crumbled into millions of tiny pieces. The feeling was mutual for both Mr. and Mrs. Briefs. Bulma erupted in her mother's arms as Trunks who lying in the crib also started crying.
Back on the battlefield…
Gohan watched everything and was wondering to himself as if this had actually happened. It seemed so unlikely. Kaiser, the one who was full of life was now lifeless. He was not more of a brother to him then a best friend. Then it suddenly hit him. "This is all Cell's fault. It's his fault Kaiser is dead. It's his fault that Brila is crying. I can't take this anymore! This is enough! He will pay for this!" With this final thought, he let out a loud yell that caught everyone's attention. Even Cell who landed pretty close by watched with a smirk. Brila wasn't paying attention to her surroundings. Her face was still buried in Kaiser's chest.
Gohan wasn't finished powering up just yet; his power was overwhelming every living thing there. His power up was so intense that he wind was blowing very hard which blew every Earthling several meters away. The mass of Gohan's muscles increased and all of his hair stood up leaving only one lock of hair that remained on his forehead. With a final cry, he ascended to the next level. The whole place was illuminated and it took everyone a good few seconds to open their eyes.
In the midst of the small crater, stood Gohan in his Super Saiyan 2 form. He had a different look on his face. A face that showed loss, courage and power. Tears were flowing out of his eyes but they, along with the nearby rocks flew up. After a brief moment he ceased his tears and approached Cell.
"Well it's about time." Cell said arrogantly. "At least Kaiser's death did bring something good." He said knowing that it would strike a nerve but to his disappointment, Gohan didn't flinch.
Gohan raised his arms and snatched the senzu beans out of Cell's hands without him realizing. Cell quickly realized that Gohan had somehow managed to snatch the beans out of his hands and growled and proceeded to knock him out with a right hook however before he could make contact Gohan vanished and he was now standing next to Brila.
He looked down at Brila who was still crying. He closed his eyes and let out a sigh. He then gently lifted his two best friends. Brila didn't do anything, she just continued sobbing. He gently lifted off and placed them near the Z-Fighters. One of the Cell Juniors, who was beating the crap out of Krillen, turned its attention to Gohan. It grinned evilly and dashed towards Gohan. Just before it could land a punch on the mighty demi Saiyan, Gohan delivered a backhand that knocked its head off and then caused the body to explode.
Everyone watched in awe and they couldn't believe what they had just seen. Even Cell was dumbstruck, for the first time he was worried. The rest of the Cell Juniors got together and decided on a combined assault on Gohan however before they do anything all but one of them exploded. The one that wasn't attacked saw Gohan right in front of him with a cold look and without further ado, he cut kicked it so hard that it exploded.
"I-Impossible! We couldn't even put a dent on these things and he takes them out in one hit?" Vegeta gasped in disbelief.
"Gohan! You're so powerful…" Piccolo said as he finally found the ability to talk.
"That's my son. Now avenge Kaiser." Goku said proudly.
"Catch."Gohan said as he looked over to the Z-Fighters and threw the bag of senzu beans over to Trunks.
"T-Thanks." Trunks said as he still tried to comprehend the power Gohan had at his disposal. Gohan merely nodded and walked back towards his best friends.
Gohan stood next to Brila who had finally stopped sobbing however her hiccups could be heard. Gohan got on one knee and hugged the two Saiyan. He quickly moved away from them and said, "Go to Trunks and eat a senzu bean."
Brila separated her head from Kaiser's chest and turned around to see Gohan who was in his Super Saiyan 2 stage. She didn't smile and she didn't show any emotion. Gohan felt his heart drop to see her like this but he turned around to see Cell who was still in awe. He was also shocked to see Gohan's new power.
"Gohan…" Brila whispered.
Gohan didn't turn around but he slightly turned his head and saw her from the corner of his eye. Her beautiful face was all wet and her eyes were bloodshot. Her gi had several spots of dried blood and most of it was not hers, it was his.
"What is it?" He asked coolly.
"Make him pay." She said with a hint of hatred in her tone. Gohan nodded and looked forward.
"I intend to." He said almost evilly as he lifted off the ground and landed in front of Cell.
"So you finally decide to show your true power. I must say, I am somewhat impressed." Cell said arrogantly.
"You'll pay for this Cell. It's kind of ironic isn't it?" Gohan said as he gave Cell and evil smirk.
"Ironic? What's ironic?" Cell asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"You always hated Kaiser and you wanted him dead since you met him. You did manage to kill him but…" Gohan paused as he closed his eyes.
"BUT WHAT?" Cell snapped.
"He'll kill you from beyond the grave. His death led to me getting this power." Gohan said as he reopened his eyes that allowed a few tears to escape.
"Nonsense. You might've gotten powerful but you're still nothing compared to me. I am PERFECT!" He growled as he dashed towards Gohan with blinding speed. He hit Gohan as hard as he could with a right hook and smirked. His smirk quickly vanished when he saw Gohan undamaged and barely fazed. Cell growled and raised his left hand for another blow but before he could do anything else, Gohan punched his stomach with Earth shattering force making Cell spit some blood. Gohan then proceeded to deliver a roundhouse kick that hit Cell right on his face sending him flying back a couple of meters.
Cell quickly regained his composure and held his stomach in pain. "I-Impossible! What is happening? He just hit me twice! Then why? Then why am I so damaged?" Cell gasped as he fell back coughing up more blood. Gohan smirked at this and approached Cell for another beating.
In the Otherworld…
"How long has she been in there?" A tall blue figure asked.
"Ever since the kid came in." The Goku lookalike responded. "She isn't too thrilled to see him."
"Of course she isn't. None of us are." Soba scowled.
"I am proud of him though. He died a warrior's death and it led to my Grandbrat's transformation too." Bardock said proudly as he looked into the pool of water that was acting as a camera for the real world. He could see Gohan beating Cell senseless. Then the pool showed Brila who was holding Kaiser. He frowned at the look in her eyes. It showed pain and loss.
"You're right but try telling her that." Soba replied as he pointed towards the small house.
Bardock was about to respond to that when he heard several groans come from nearby. Kaiser who was lying on the lush green grass shot his open and jumped and looked around to find Soba and Bardock staring at him. Kaiser looked upwards to find a halo on his head. With that he fell backwards with a discontent look on his face but then he started to laugh for some reason. Soba and Bardock looked at each other with a confused expression.
"Hehe, looks like I kicked the bucket too." He chuckled as he clenched his fists ripping out the grass beneath him.
"Your death wasn't in vain. Your friend is beating Cell senseless." Bardock said calmly. "Look." Bardock said as he pointed towards the pool of water.
Kaiser quickly crawled over to the pool and watched as Gohan almost killed Cell with an half hearted Kamehameha. "Awesome! Well done G!" Kaiser said as his lips curved into a smile. However his smile quickly disappeared into a frown as he looked at Brila who was holding…his body?
"What the? What's going on? How am I here and there at the same time?" Kaiser asked as he examined himself. His clothes had been restored, the hole in his stomach was gone, his tail had grown back and he felt stronger than ever.
Before Bardock or Soba could answer him, another voice spoke first.
"You're stationed here just in case, your friends fail. If Gohan fails, then the four of us will go and fight Cell and kill him. King Yenma didn't want to bring your body here because it would weaken life force if you were to go back. However bringing you here is weakening your life force slowly." A female voice spoke up.
Kaiser quickly turned around to see his mother standing there and she looked rather sad. He jogged to her and hugged her tightly. She hugged him back and burst into tears. Kaiser slowly moved away from her after a few seconds.
"Come on mom. Cheer up. After Gohan kills Cell, they'll wish me back." Kaiser said happily. "And besides aren't you happy to see me?" He asked as he made a puppy face.
Lila let out a laugh and petted her son's hair. "Of course I am happy to see you but I didn't want to see you like this. Not with a halo on your head." She said as she kissed his forehead.
"Well that can't be helped now. I am here and Gohan's winning and…" He said as his smile turned into a frown once more. He walked over to the pool where he saw Brila again. He felt his heart drop when he saw her tear filled eyes. His closed his eyes and turned his head away.
"She loves you Kaisy." Lila whispered as she put her hand on his head.
"Yeah she loves you Kaisy." Bardock said as he imitated his mate. He quickly shut up when he saw the frying pan materialized in her vacant hand. Even Soba took a step back; he had also felt the wrath of the frying pan before.
Kaiser merely laughed at the scene as he opened his eyes. "I know mom." He said calmly.
"Do you love her kid?" Soba asked as he tried to get on Lila's good side.
"Since when did you care about love Mr.S?" Kaiser asked. "And to answer your question, my love for her is endless and eternal." He said with his million dollar smile. (A.N: Yes that smile does exist :D)
"My son has become quite the romantic hasn't he?" She said with a proud smile. "See Bardock, you could learn something from him." She chuckled making Bardock grunt but he too smiled at this.
"The boy has already found his mate. When things such as these happen, the offspring is supposed to be quite powerful." He thought to himself.
"She's quite beautiful too. I wish I could talk to her soon."
"I can't wait to go back. I miss everyone already." Kaiser said as he started pacing. "Come on G. You can do it."
"Don't worry kid; your friend's power is way higher than Cells. He'll win." Soba said silently.
"I hope so. I am sure you guys must've been watching everything from here. How did everyone react to my death?" He asked.
"Well…everyone was very shocked and they just couldn't believe it I guess." Lila said softly.
"What your mother is trying to say is that everyone started crying." Bardock snapped.
"Really? Even dad and Piccolo?" He asked in disbelief. He knew that those too were as cold as ice and emotions weren't some things they were familiar with.
"Yeah. Them too." Lila sighed.
"Wow…don't worry everyone, I'll be back soon." Kaiser said as he smiled down at the pool of water. Then suddenly an a little blue man with horns appeared in front of them and he didn't look too happy.
"Another rebellion Krakl?" Soba asked the blue man.
"Yes Lord Soba. Lord Bardock. Lady Lila I…who are you?" He asked as he glanced over to Kaiser.
"This is our son." Bardock responded earning a look of love from Lila.
"Oh I understand now. King Yenma did say that there was another fighter with you three. You four have been requested to stop the rebellion."
"Who is it this time?" It was Lila who spoke up this time.
"Nakor and Dake." He said silently. Kaiser heard the two names and his anger and power level sky rocketed. None of the adults made an attempt to stop him. He needed to confront him…his real father.
"Take us there." Kaiser ordered.
"Who are you to-" Krakl stopped talking the moment his eyes met Kaisers. His eyes were full of pain, hate and death. "F-F-Follow m-m-me."
And with that the four fighters followed the little blue man until they reached the soft yellow clouds. Kaiser looked at the clouds with an annoyed expression.
"Now what?" He hissed.
"Now we jump down. Under these clouds is H.F.I.L." Bardock said as he unfolded his arms. Kaiser nodded and jumped down. He was closely followed by the rest of the fighters. The scared blue man quickly retreated to King Yenma's castle.
Lila looked worriedly at Bardock who also seemed to be slightly worried. Who knows what the boy would do if he was presented to his real father. "Don't worry, he'll be fine." Bardock said over the bond.
"I hope you're right." Lila replied
After a couple of seconds, the four fighters had finally landed on the rugged plains of H.F.I.L. Kaiser scanned the area and he managed to find a familiar power level and that power level was approaching them and fast.
"Sheer." Kaiser whispered and moments later, Sheer in his final form appeared in front of the four fighters from heaven.
"Well well well. I am happy to see you're dead. I'll have to thank the person who killed you." Sheer spat.
"You'll get your chance sooner than expected. The person who killed me will be joining you losers real soon." Kaiser growled.
"Grr! You brat!" Sheer said as he shot a large ki blast towards the four fighters. None of them even attempted to move out of the way. Soon after the blast faded away, Kaiser, Lila, Bardock and Soba appeared unharmed.
"I'll hold him off. I always have fun beating him shitless whenever I come here." Soba smirked. The trio nodded and dashed off but Sheer was not going to be ignored just yet.
"COME BACK HERE!" He growled as he flew after them but his flight was cut short when Kaiser dropped back with insane speed and whipped him with his tail sending him crashing down the spiky rocks sticking out of the ground. Sheer let out a loud cry as his body was impaled by the spikes. Kaiser merely smirked and resumed his flight. Lila and Bardock looked at each other and knew that this was not gonna end well.
After a couple of minutes, the trio had finally arrived at their desired location. They hovered above the ground as they hundreds of unconscious guards on the rugged floors of H.F.I.L. In the middle of the bodies stood two figures that were standing there proudly. Then Kaiser's eyes set on his target. An evil grin appeared on his face and Kaiser landed on the ground with a loud crash. This commanded the attention of the two Saiyans whose grin had now vanished. Bardock and Lila quickly joined their son but they had a rather worried look on their face.
"Well if it isn't Bardock and Lila." Nakor began. "I am surprised you came along this time." He said as he looked at Lila. "Ready to have some fun with a real man? Are you that desperate?" Nakor asked evilly. "Well what are you waiting for? Lock us up already."
Lila looked away from him. She didn't want to look at his face. All the nightmares would resurface. All the painful memories. The memories of her being violated. The memories of her lying on the rocky plains of Planet Vegeta. Bardock clenched his fists and let out a scowl.
"What's wrong Bardock? Are you upset that I raped your mate?" He asked knowing that he was going to get hurt but what did he have to lose. Bardock was about to erupt but when he saw Kaiser, his eyes widened and he knew that this meant bad news.
Kaiser was now trembling. He had never been this angry at anyone. He eyes were bloodshot and he wanted to rip Nakor to shreds.
Dake noticed the boy was trembling presumably because he was angry. He smirked and said, "Who's the brat? Is he yours? Lila you slu-" Before Dake could finish; Kaiser appeared in front of him and grabbed his neck. He looked down at the older Saiyan with deadly eyes and then smirked evilly. Dake's eyes widened when he saw the menace on the boys eyes. Kaiser slowly crushed his neck so he would feel every bit of the pain that was being inflicted on him. H.F.I.L was filled with silence when the breaking of Dake's neck was heard. Kaiser lifted him up and ripped his body to shreds. Nakor watched in horror he was now facing the boy that was without a doubt much more powerful than himself.
"W-W-Who is h-he?" He thought to himself. "WHO ARE YOU?" He yelled out as he launched himself to hit him with a right hook.
Kaiser caught his fist and used his tail to cut his whole arm off. Nakor's eyes widened in pain and he let out a loud yell of pain.
"Do you want to know who I am?" Kaiser said in the coldest tone possible. "I am Kaiser. Your worst nightmare." And with that said, Kaiser transformed into a Super Saiyan and killed his father over and over again.
Back at the Cell Games…
"Gohan! Finish him off now!" Goku yelled out as Cell was floating with most of his body parts gone.
"What?" Gohan asked as he looked over to his father with an annoyed face.
"Gohan. Kill him! Now is your chance!" Piccolo yelled hoping that his Saiyan side would not get the better of the boy.
"Already? No. I think I'll wait a little. I want him to suffer." He said as he looked back at Cell.
"No…Gohan…NO! You have to finish him now!" Goku yelled out but to his disbelief, Gohan just ignored him and watched Cell regenerate.
"Kakarot! What is your brat doing?" Vegeta scowled.
"I-I don't know." Goku said as he hung his head in shame.
"Gohan…Please don't let Kaiser's sacrifice be in vain." Brila thought to herself. As much as she wanted Cell to suffer, it was better to be safe than sorry.
"NO! NO! NO! I AM CELL! I AM PERFECT!" Cell growled as he powered up even more. His muscle began to become much bigger and his power level had also gone very high.
"W-What power…" Vegeta whispered.
"His size has increased." Trunks pointed out.
"NOW YOU WILL DIE!" Cell growled in his now deeper voice. He dashed towards Gohan who was effortlessly dodging all of Cell's punches and kicks. Cell's power might've increased but his he hadn't gotten any faster. In fact, his speed decreased by a considerable amount.
After dodging another punch, Gohan jumped up and punched Cell in the stomach and then he kicked him across the face that made Cell tumble backwards and the unexpected happened…he threw up Android 18!
"He threw up 18!" Krillen gasped. The others were shell shocked but still watched enthusiastically as they could sense Cell's power level drop.
Cell was left breathing heavily and then with a bright light, he turned back to his Semi-Perfect state.
"How boring. Now you're no match for me at all." Gohan complained.
"H-He did it! Gohan won!" Piccolo exclaimed. He was joined in his celebrations by everyone except for Goku, Vegeta and Brila. It wasn't over till the fat lady sings they thought.
Cell watched in horror as he stood no chance whatsoever against most of the present fighters and before he could say anything, he had Gohan's foot planted on his face that sent him flying. Gohan appeared behind him and proceeded with a roundhouse kick that sent him crashing to the ground.
"You're a monster! Stay back! Don't come any closer!"
"Well this is no fun. I guess I'll kill you now." He said as he landed in front of him. Cell lifted himself up slowly. The pain he was feeling was way too painful.
"NO! I am Cell! I won't die like this!" He spat as he began focusing his energy with a loud yell.
At first it seemed to be impressive that he had this kind of power in his Semi Perfect stage but it was still no match for the Saiyans that were present.
As Cell began concentrating his energy, he started to get bigger but not equally. It was like someone was putting in a lot of air into him causing him to expand. This started to worry the Z-Fighters. All they were wondering was what he could achieve by expanding himself.
"What is Cell trying to do now? Look at the size of him!" Krillen gasped.
"I don't like the look of this…" Trunks thought to himself as he feared for the worst.
"W-What is he doing? Why does he look uglier now?" Brila questioned.
"The bug threw up that android which made him transform back to his Semi Perfect form." Vegeta answered. Brila looked at him with a puzzled expression but she did remember Kaiser telling her about the two Androids. Then her thought was interrupted when Cell formed a smirk on his lips.
"Boy this is the end for you. You thought you could beat me but you can't!" Cell said with his evil smirk. Gohan smirk had vanished the moment Cell began expanding but now he merely raised an eyebrow. "Now I am going to blow myself up and I'll take you and this planet with me! Say goodbye to your planet and tell Kaiser I said hi." Cell laughed evilly.
Gohan's face turned from stern and cold to a face filled with fear and disbelief. "NO! DON'T!"
"What? Blow up the Earth?" Vegeta said in disbelief.
"Yes. Cell is not bluffing this time. I know he'll do it." Piccolo said in a defeated tone.
"Oh no…Not like this." Brila whimpered as she strengthened her hold on Kaiser.
"Hahahaha! You lose little man! I am going to destroy this planet!" Cell said in a much deeper voice as his size kept expanding.
Gohan growled and took a stance. He wasn't gonna give up just yet. "Not if I can help it!" He snapped.
"Watch out! If you touch me now, I will blow up right away. One little shock could set me off. Then it's bye bye Gohan and hello Kaiser." He said evilly as he knew that would strike a nerve.
Gohan gritted his teeth angrily because he knew that there was nothing else he could've done.
"One minute left and it'll be over." Cell said as he resumed laughing.
"No we're done for!" Krillen whimpered.
"Somebody has to come up with something! We can't lose like this!" Tien said hoping that someone would have another ace up their sleeve.
"Damn it…We've lost…There's nothing we can do!" Piccolo growled as he too gave up.
"Trunks…Bulma…I am…sorry…I tried…" Vegeta thought to himself silently as he closed his eyes.
"No…It can't end here…I HAVE TO STOP THE ANDROIDS IN THE FUTURE!" Trunks yelled as he fell on his knees.
"Damn it! Dad was right…I should've killed Cell when I had the chance. This is all my fault." He thought as he looked over to Brila who was holding Kaiser close with her face in his chest. "I am sorry…Kaiser…Brila…everyone…"
He finally fell on his knees as tears streamed down his face. "W-What have I done? I could've killed him!" He pounded the ground below him making a small crater. "I have been a fool! I let Cell win again!" He said as he gritted his teeth.
Goku looked more serious than ever. For once, he had no idea of what to do. He was totally clueless but just when he was about to give up he remembered a conversation he had with Kaiser after they had returned from New Vegeta.
Flashback…A couple of days ago…
Goku had come by Korin's Tower to ask Master Korin for some Senzu beans. After he had received them, he proceeded to fly back home and that moment he felt Kaiser's and Brila's Ki on the lookout. He looked up at the floating castle and thought, "What the heck, I might as well go say I hi." He thought to himself cheerfully. He then lifted off the platform after saying goodbye to the veteran cat and the obese man and made his way to the lookout.
"Brila, this is Dende. Dende this is Brila." Kaiser introduced the newest member of the family to the new guardian of Earth.
"Hello Dende. It's an honor to meet you person." Brila said respectfully as she held her hand out.
"The honor is all mine Brila." The small Namekian replied with a smile as he shook her hand.
"It isn't much of a big honor ya know. I used say to old man Kami almost every second day." Kaiser blurted out.
"KAISER!" Brila said as she whipped him with her tail.
"Ow! I was joking." Kaiser complained as he rubbed the back of his head but just then he heard a familiar laugh that came from behind he turned around and his lips curved into a smile. "Hey Goku."
To this Brila and Dende both turned around and proceeded to greet the Saiyan.
"Hey guys. What are you two doing up here?" Goku asked.
"Bri wanted to meet Dende so I thought what the heck, why not? He's just one teleportation away." Kaiser smiled. "I am glad you're here though, we need to talk. Alone." Kaiser ordered as he began walking to the edge of the lookout. Goku, Brila and Dende exchanged some looks and then they shrugged however Goku followed Kaiser.
"So what is it you wanted to talk about?"
"What's the plan Goku?"
"Well…"
"Is there a plan?"
"Yes. There is one."
"Is it gonna work?"
"Yep."
"Are you sure?"
"100% sure."
"Have you unlocked something above Super Saiyan?"
"No."
"Then what is it?"
"You'll have to wait and see."
"Grr…Damn it Goku…" Kaiser whispered. "You know that there'll be casualties there, right Goku?"
"I certainly hope not."
"What do you intend to do about that?"
"What do you mean?"
"I am not too sure…I just have this feeling that things will go south at one point."
"It's possible."
"Goku, I remember you telling me that you sacrificed yourself before to kill Raditz. How did you feel then? What made you so selfless?"
"The urge to protect."
"Urge to protect?"
"That's right. I knew that if I hadn't sacrificed myself, Raditz could've killed us both and he could've taken Gohan with him. I couldn't let that happen."
"I see. You are very selfless."
"Speak for yourself."
"What do you mean?"
"It's not like you aren't. You would do anything and everything to protect everyone. I saw what you did against the Androids, then against Cell and now you're planning if the times comes you will sacrifice yourself, correct?"
"Y-Yes…"
"You're a very inspiring young man. I never had the same urge that you have now when I was your age. You're 12 aren't you?"
"Yes."
"You're a very admirable person with a golden heart. Even the most experienced of fighters could learn a thing or two from you. Heck, you could teach Vegeta something."
"Or maybe I could teach you table manners." He said as the two Saiyans exploded in laughter. "On a serious note, my mother had taught me one very important thing. My real mother."
"What might that be?"
Kaiser closed his eyes as his mother's words echoed in his head. He opened his eyes with a bright smile and said, "Always protect those who are precious to you and only then will you be the best of warriors."
Goku was shocked by those words. Such incredible words from such a young boy even if they weren't his. Goku smiled and pet the boy's head. "Let's live up to that shall we?"
Kaiser smiled and nodded.
End of Flashback…
Goku closed his eyes and smiled inside his head. He turned around and looked at his friends with the same serious expression.
"What is it Goku? Do you have a plan or something?" Krillen asked making everyone hopeful.
Goku looked at the bald monk and smiled.
"That smile…I know that smile. It's the same one that I saw on Kaiser…A smile of selflessness." She knew what Goku was going to do now.
"Listen guys, there's not much time left and I can only think of one way to save the Earth now." He said with a smile.
"What are you talking about?" Piccolo growled.
"Goku…Please don't! I know what you're gonna do!" Brila shrieked that caught everyone's attention.
"Goodbye friends and I am sorry." He said as he put two fingers on his forehead. He glanced over to Vegeta who was looking at him with wide eyes. He also knew what Goku had come up with because he too recognized that smile. "Your son has made you proud Vegeta." And with that Goku vanished.
"NO!" Krillen yelled out as he moved his hand forward to stop his best friend but it was to no avail. Goku had appeared before the exploding Cell.
Cell gasped at Goku's sudden appearance and Gohan shot his eyes up as soon as he saw his father before him. Goku put his hand on Cell's stomach and smirked.
"Hey." Goku said as he turned around facing Gohan. "You put up a good fight Gohan and I am proud of you."
"W-What? D-Daddy?"
"Take care of your mother for me. She needs you and tell her that I had to do this and also tell her that I am sorry and that I love her."
"P-P-Please…daddy…no!"
Goodbye…My son." Goku said proudly as he focused his energy on his desired location and within an instant he vanished.
"NO! COME BACK!" Gohan yelled got up to his feet.
"GOKU!" Krillen yelled out.
All the rest of the Z-Fighters stared in shock. Earth's most beloved hero…had sacrificed himself for the sake of everyone else.
In H.F.I.L…
"STOP! Please!" Nakor pleaded as he tried to crawl away from the Super Saiyan. He couldn't walk because his legs had been vaporized. Kaiser walked towards his father and crushed his skull, killing him about a thousandth time.
Nakor materialized nearby but instead of running away this time he dashed towards Bardock. Bardock took a stance but to his surprise he didn't want to attack. Nakor bowed down before the Goku look alike and looked up to him in fear. "PLEASE! LOCK ME UP! GET ME AWAY FROM HIM!" He pleaded but his pleading tone was changed into a tone of agony and pain. His tail had been cut off and Kaiser lifted him up from his head.
"You wanted to know who I am right. Ask yourself, who could I possibly be?" He asked sarcastically.
"I-I don't know." Nakor said as blood streamed down his chin.
"I am Lila's son."
"Bardock's boy!" He said hoping that he would finally let go.
"No…YOURS!" He said as he ripped him in half. Lila and Bardock both gasped as they saw the madness before them. Now the two had enough.
"KAISER!" Bardock said firmly and loudly commanding the boy's attention. Kaiser slowly turned around with the same menacing look he had when he first killed Nakor. "That's enough. We have to lock him up now."
"No! He has to suffer more!" Kaiser rebelled.
"Kaisy stop. This is enough." Lila said firmly.
Nakor materialized and he looked at the young Saiyan again and just fell on the ground. He had tried everything. He tried to run, fight, threat and he even transformed into an Oozaru but nothing worked.
"Please…Have mercy…" He whimpered. Kaiser gritted his teeth and clenched his fists so tight that his nails dug into his skin and blood started dripping on the rugged floors of H.F.I.L.
"N-N-NO!" He yelled as he shot towards Nakor.
"WHAT WOULD BRILA SAY?" Bardock yelled out.
Kaiser immediately stopped in his tracks and turned around slowly. The look of menace and evil had vanished and a look of confusion had surfaced. "W-What?"
"What would Gohan and Brila say if they saw you like this?" Lila asked calmly. "Kaisy, this isn't you. What makes the two of you so different? You're both doing the same things. You're hurting under the spell of blind rage."
"She's right kid. You're my son. Not his. You're supposed to set a good example of the Saiyan race. Don't be Nakor. Be yourself. You're a kind, forgiving and excellent person and on top of that, you and Kakarot are the best sons I could ever hope to have."
"That's right kid." Soba said as he dropped from the sky and landed next to the Saiyan couple. "You are Kaiser, who was able to melt many cold hearts. The one who changed many people. You even changed me. I am proud to be your mentor. You have made us all proud for your heroic actions but don't do something you'll regret." Soba concluded.
"We love you Kaisy." Lila said with love.
Kaiser stared at them with widened eyes. He closed his eyes as he transformed back into his base form but then something inside his head. He exploded into his Super Saiyan form and yelled out as loud as he could. His eyes went black along with his hair and tail and then lightening began to form around the young Saiyan. His skin also turned into a more tanned color. The trio from heaven watched in horror as Kaiser was starting to emit a dark aura.
"What's happening to him?" Lila yelled out as she shielded her eyes from the flying pebbles.
"I don't but his power level has gone through the roof!" Bardock said as he watched in awe.
"That isn't Super Saiyan 2 is it?"
"No…It's not nearly as powerful but what's that dark aura?"
"It's negative energy." Soba said shocking the two Saiyans.
"N-Negative energy?" Lila asked.
"Yes all the Negative energy that has been building up inside of him since your death." He said as he glanced over at Lila.
Lila covered her mouth with her hands as she watched her son go berserk. Bardock watched silently as he closed his eyes.
"How do we stop him?" He asked Soba.
"With the strongest emotion. Love." He said as he looked over to the couple. "Lila. Bardock, this is something you two can only do. I'll get the guards out of here. You two must help him to release all that negative energy." He said as he took off.
Lila looked over to Bardock and the two nodded at each other and transformed into their Super Saiyan form. With the intention to help their beloved son.

Well ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of chapter 21 and after this chapter, I'll be going on a really long break. For those of you who don't know what bond is; it's that thing Saiyans do in which they can talk to their mates via thoughts. The next time I'll be updating will be at the end of May so you have my apologies. I felt kinda guilty by leaving the last chapter at a cliffhanger so I thought I'd leave you with another cliffhanger. I feel so much better now . Hope you guys really liked this chapter so I hope you've enjoyed and please don't forget to review. I really need those.
