Chapter 26

Cell was now laughing at the defenseless heroes pathetic efforts, hope was vanishing for them, Gwen thought of everything but no matter the option she wouldn't beat Cell or even have some chance, then an idea hit her, and she yelled

-Trunks! Please come here!-

-You pathetic worms want to plan something i don't care you're nothing but trash in front of greatness so try your best i'll let you have one shot at me hehehe- said Cell very confident crossing arms, Trunks and Gwen bloodied everywhere and dirty from the beating, reunited, she spoke to him first

-Trunks, i know of those powerful attacks you have, you gotta have to put everything into just one attack i'll give you some of my ki reserve and you gotta power up to the max, i'll buy you time-

-But you can die! That thing overpowers us by a mile, you can't hold him 1v1-

-Is the only chance we have, let's make it count, and if i die, i've lived a life that i wanted, and would gladly die for someone like you Trunks, or better said Prince Trunks- Trunks smiled bittersweet, they agreed and took action

-Hey you damned creature, i'll be your rival!- said Gwen she had something to buy Trunks some time, her ki decreased rapidly and was focused in one point, a white ball generated in her palm very familiar to the heroes

-Ha! Ridiculous if you think that attack will have any effect woman, but bring it on- Gwen didn't respond to this, instead throwing the ball to the sky, opening and closing her hand, the ball exploding and sending a blinding light everywhere, confusing and blinding Cell at the same time, it cleared itself, leaving a giant Power ball in the sky and not long after with a good look, she transformed, the process was swift and fast, and the Oozaru roared with might, Cell was surprised and felt the power higher than the Gwen he has fought to this point, and he smiled to the challenge, and almost instantly, they clashed, a barrage of punches and kicks, Gwen and Cell threw immense blasts to each other clashing, Gwen took advantage of an opening and grabbed Cell, and crushed him while roaring, this hurt a lot and he finally was taking damage but knew he was still superior by some margin, but the fun for him would drag on. Meanwhile Trunks had already been charging a massive blast for a while he still needed to charge it up some more, returning to the fight, Cell was struggling to put away his foe with his contained strength just for the sake of it and instead was slowly rising his ki, he realized that he would last less than the gigantic creature because of energy drain so he needed to cause heavy damage to it so he can manage easily, so he decided to spike his energy quickly, noticed by our heroes it scared them, he went with full force to Gwen, with precision attacks he made her suffer and bleed a ton, Trunks got worried but knew that he couldn't control this situation just charge this attack with all his might, following this she got knocked back kneeling almost to the ground and now due to the injuries she wasn't as sharp of a fighter in the form Cell continued with sadism to torture her, she realized to save her life, she destroyed the power ball in the sky and returned to her normal form, Cell got confused and stop and said

-Already giving up? Fine i'll take my win and make this quick and painless due to it- he got up close to her who was battered on the ground and when he was about to blast her into the death realm, he noticed a monumental ki spike up behind him and he heard a loud scream

-BURN IN HELL DAMNED CELL MASENKOOOO!- a super saiyan Trunks with lightning around him released an enormous blast, Gwen barely got out the way of the attack which would have killed her, Cell was melting into nothingness he yelled in severe pain and very quickly bits of his body were burning and getting melted, and just like that there was nothing, our heroes almost beat into unconsciousness celebrated what seemed like victory even Videl woke up from being in coma from the ki mines in the ground and they were all at least more calm the threat had ended, or so they thought, until they felt something.

Chapter 27

They turned around, they saw a lot of wind and sparkles and finally a loud boom, it revealed after some smoke that was generated cleared, it was cell back whole, he laughed maniacally and launched himself with super speed and grabbed Videl then retreating with her to be in front of the rest of the heroes, Trunks said exalted

-How are you alive?!-

-hehehe you see Trunks, you destroyed every party of my body but my core was almost intact and was able to regenerate the whole body from that, if you're attack had a bit more juice to it i would have died- he continued

-Due to being so stubborn and fuckinf everything for me, a rock to trip over each time, is time i make this a serious revenge- Cell proceeded to move his tail upwards and ready it, a desperate scream came from Gwen

-No! Don't do this! Please!- Trunks had a face of terror and panic, Cell said nothing, Videl was too damaged to realize what was happening around her, and then something sting her, and she screamed in agony, it started drain and it was disgusting she turned to some goo and was slowly being liquified and absorbed until there was nothing but her clothes, our heroes stared in shock, blank expressions, then with tears in her eyes remembering her even if short, good times with her first earthly friend and Gwen screamed

-AAAAAAAAAH!- as loud as she had ever done, this surprised Cell and quickly realized what happened, her hair spiked up and golden, -Holy shit a super saiyan- this didn't facd Trunks whose look was still pale, she launched herself with tears of pure fury and pain, the battle was almost even and Cell had powered up to the max feeling the immense power before him, kicks, punches and blasts, the biological android was taking a beating, he collected himself after feeling the beating but knew, that although powered up, he had some edge due to control of power, and started to hit her more and battle smartly to avoid her hits and tip the scales again to his favors, but what he didn't count was the reaction from his other enemy, Trunks was even with the battle in front of him not being able to move or do anything trapped in his mind he started to think, think back to all of those who couldn't manage to save, the dead survivors from all of this, Videl, Gohan and worse, his mom, how he couldn't avenge some of them as this creature had taken that from him by absorbing one of the demons that tormented him and worse he did it for his own selfish motives and to cause harm, and how again he had been useless and had blood in his hands letting one friend die again, and finally he remembered Mai and one conversation with her while hunting 18

-Trunks, please don't worry…-

-But Mai hoe can't i, that assassin still lingering around being capable of the worst i can't let her harm more people ever again-

-Trunks… listen you didn't do anything bad before or even commit a mistake, this situations happen and we just move forward, that's the only way we can keep making good, focus on more solutions and less pain and try to come to terms with it slowly, time heals-

-Mai… and what if you get hurt, or anyone i care about and my emotions suffer again-

-Trunks come on don't think about that, and still if that happens we did it gladly to protect what we love and who we love, let's go, time is still ticking haha- -You're not to blame You're not to blame You're not to blame You're not to blame- it repeated in his head but he knew that was wrong, he had part of the guilt, he brought that to them, but as she said solutions not the pain, and that was revenge, he got up heated and then Cell notice another massive spike of ki greater than before and then came the scream

-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!- after that his pupils went full blank, got massively bulkier almost to a point his muscles ripped the clothes and some lightning were also striking near the battleground, Trunks had ascended again his power.

Chapter 28

Stomping to the battleground arrived the new mighty foe and with pure fury and he yelled

-CEELL! I WILL YOUUU!- launching himself like a rocket to the fight and together with the other super saiyan sent a barrage of attacks towards the creature overloading him and beating him up soundly, a beatdown to the point that nl creature with regeneration would stand that amount of damage and he noticed, sending desperate ki attacks to gain separation, gasping for air and struggling to move with pain he cursed loudly

-DAMN YOU! I'M THE BEST BEING TO EVER LIVE NOW MEET YOUR END!- he charged up an attack to put with desperation all his force into it a battle ender, the two saiyans knew what to do, they matched quickly the attack of the beast with a double

-MASENKO!-

-MASENKOO!- and the clash it was even a bit at first but after some struggle, the saiyans' beam started to push harder and harder until it hit cell, instead of burning him completely it was redirecting him somewhere, he noticed when he knew he was about to hit, it was the sun and with the combined strength of blast and sun he burned alive to nothingness this time completely

-AAAAAAAAH!- he yelled in pain but like that he died.

Our heroes had defeated him and were sure this time but like that they fell unconscious to the ground, Mai picked them up finally arriving at the place, she took them back to Capsule Corp and after they recovered a bit they explained what happened, Mai cried a bit after knowing the death of her friend, knowing that it won't be easy she still applied the words she said to Trunks. The day after they went to a built tombstone, for her, besides the one of her father, with her death they mourned every life taken by Gero's creations and finally rest them in peace, after thinking the evil from them was gone for good and the Red Ribbon's creations had finally ended.

Chapter 29

All was peaceful again after the defeat of Cell and a couple of months had passed although our heroes took heavy casualties in the process, also Mai and Gwen were very hit by the death of Videl and Trunks was a bit traumatized and battling mental battles thanks to Gero's creations. Unknowingly to them two separate entities on two separate missions were closing in on the planet, in two remote locations, one in some southern island and the other in a small town near Ginger town, when we close in on the first one in the southern isle, we see is a space pod just as Gwen's and the second one surprisingly too but that one with some cracks and less colored window than the other. From the more good looking one emerged a figure, it was feminine it was a woman, long black hair very sleek but pointy in the end when we have a better look she had frieza force armor it was similar to Gwen's but its colors were turquoise and white, white gloves and boots and then it revealed, tied in her waist a brown appendage, tail she let loose and then rewrapped it, another saiyan has arrived, from the second location, barely opening and having to squeeze to get out, another woman, also with armor, this one looked damaged and dirty with its colors being black and a decolored green, the woman with black hair, which was a bit spiky but tied in a diagonal ponytail, she also wore a bandanna in her mouth, and had gloves and boots but dirty, then going down and turning her back we see a tied knot above her coxi it was another brown tail the tip of it twitching in her back, a third female saiyan was on earth.

Trunks arrived quickly to the scene at the southern islands while Gwen went to Ginger town to investigate there, where they would meet their fates.

-Hmm so humanity has some kind of defense force, no matter to a force like me- Trunks turned around to see who was talking a woman with a blue lens and he instantly identified the armor to be like Gwen's but turquoise as second color instead of Violet and he noticed also by reflex the big thing, the light brown thing tied in her waist, the woman noticed his gaze, smirked and unwrapped it and moved it, Trunks said

-You… You are a saiyan-

-You know your stuff human, i came by orders of lord Cooler to claim revenge and bring pain for the death of his brother Frieza- Trunks knew the last name after remembering from Gohan's tale the tyrant that ruled with an iron fist and brought suffering in namek to the earth's heroes to the point Goku achieved super saiyan

-Look, i know another saiyan and it's a good friend, for that reason i'll give you the chance of coming without meaning any harm or leaving- she started to laugh

-HA! What a brilliant joke, you almost cracked me in half with it, well if you don't take things seriously then i'll have to make you- as she powered a blast and sent it towards the city, Trunks surprised and filled with rage quickly reflected it away and turned super saiyan, the scouter from the saiyan warrior exploded, and she got scared and thought of powering up to the max feeling the overwhelming force upon her, but didn't have time, with a swift elbow to the neck she was knocked out cold, Trunks wanted to kill her on the spot, but knew Gwen could solve this better, he did this for her. Meanwhile Gwen had already arrived at the location of the arrival, it didn't take long for someone to talk to her

-Wow i didn't expect a fellow saiyan to be here, especially in this backwater planet, and if you intend to deny it i can see your tail from here- Gwen turned around and saw, a woman green and black being the colors of the armor she wore, same design as her just different colors, and noticing quickly in her midsection a furry belt she instantly knew that she was before another member of her race, she also picked up Gwen's reaction and while giggling released her tail and started to move it

-But how is it possible? Those i knew should be dead or missing and you, i don't even know you…-

-Hehehe i'll make you this proposition, this just but one stepping stone to claim the universe aid me in my conquest here and onward and you'll have great benefits-

-We might be two saiyans but we're very different, never i would do that-

-Then you give me no choice but to eliminate the remnants of our race ha!- she launched herself forward but Gwen knew not to play around, punched her squared in the face, she rised her power to the max turning super saiyan, the scouter from her enemy exploded and she panicked but without reaction time, one good combo was needed to knock her out cold. Both Trunks and Gwen took the new arrivals to Capsule Corp but restrained just in case, and they wanted now to get more information.

Chapter 30

After a while, she heard something murmurs probably because of being knocked out, then she heard a sentence very well

-Maybe for precaution we should cut their tails- instinctively she yelled

-WHAT?! NO! I won't stand to such thing hrrm, let me out, no! I won't lose my heritage and what's left of my race and pride i won't…- she said while panicking in rage and tearing up a bit while trying to free herself, this alerted her companion who wondered what was going on when another voice was heard

-Cutting their tails? No… that's barbaric- now the second one talked too

-Cutting my tail? No way i'll allow that, i may not be the highest class but that never- she started to fight against their restrains in desperation

-Ok ok calm down, we're not doing that, but since both of you came with bad intentions and we're tired of problems i had to think of something-

-I don't think that was the way Trunks- then one off them intervened

-Wait, that voice… i recognize it… Celel?- then, they turned the lights and helped both of them to see clearly and surprised in shock seeing that figure she stood there paralized

-Yes it's me Hakuna, long time no see…-

-So you know her… wait Hakuna?-

-That voice too… Asani, is that you?- said the girl named Hakuna

-Yes, although i don't call myself like that anymore-

-Me neither-

-You dumped your saiyan names?! How could you?! Now i understand the atrocities as cutting someone's tail…-

-Don't look at me i didn't suggest it-

-Hehe, it's been a long time since i saw you and seems you brought a friend-

-We're not friends!- was heard in unison

-And i haven't seen her since she was much younger, since she escaped…-

-What a way,huh?- said Asani

-Wait i don't understand, seems like you know each other, right?

-Kinda like that, but first let me tell them our story here on earth and untie them-

-Untie them?! Are you sure?!-

-Yes please, trust me on this one, they don't mean any harm i'm pretty sure because of their intentions- the Hakuns cut off

-Intentions? What are you talking about- Gwen giggled

-It would be easier if i tell you my story here on earth, to get you up to date-. She proceeded to tell them her tales since arriving on the planet, all the adventures, memories and battles, of course the sad casualties too, and she took the liberty of telling Trunks' story too, they both ended up baffled,

-So he's the prince of our race?- asked Hakuna

-Indeed-

-I'm so sorry for the treatment i gave you early and if the stories are true, you're just as formidable as the king, true royalty- she said while kneeling in front of him

-Ha ha i i'm not that formal, and don't worry about that, we're equals here on earth- he said while extending his hand towards her, her eyes were bright and confused, she didn't know what to do but also replied by doing the same and shaking his hand both with smiles and a bit like puppies, on the other hand Asani was a looking at the show a bit apathetically, then Haruka shot her a death glare, she got a bit nervous and feeling forced she also greeted the prince, bowing the head

-I've never been a fan of the royals since a kid and the tellings…-

-Asani!-

-But you look fine i guess and kinda cool with those actions-

-Thank you i'd say your personality coincides a bit more with us-

-Does it… good talk princey prince- she said while punching his arm jokingly, both smiling to this

-It's great you all are starting to get along, i feel like this is a good thing, i've escaped too long from the past- a response came quickly from Hakuna

-You still don't have my forgiveness for what you did to me and them- Trunks looked a bit thoughtful, reflexing upon those words and everything in this encounter

-Gwen!-

-Hmm? Yes Trunks-

-I remembered you said that when we beat the androids you'd tell me about your story, i think now is the time- she sighed

-I guess i don't have another option- coming to terms with now having to tell her story.
