Story:
Kuririn recovers, and asks how Trunks had gotten the Senzu
seeds; Trunks
answers, and Kuririn is stunned at seeing Gohan's immense power.
Trunks
also tells the runt to hurry up and move farther back. Cell
sneers that
the boy has great strength, but not enough to defeat him. Gohan
says
that he'll beat the monster, and Cell tells him to watch the true
power
of Cell. The resulting aura blasts everyone, and Gokuu says that
now
it's time to see the action for real. Cell asks for Gohan's
reaction to
the power-up, and the boy replies, "what about it?" The
monster sneers
and attacks, but Gohan takes the blow without staggering.
When Cell pauses to rest, he can't believe how much damage
he's taken
in only 2 punches. Gokuu smiles, Vejita fumes, and the announcer
rants
about the small boy. After some more fighting, Cell realizes that
he's
going to lose in a fist fight. So he goes airborne to fire a
Kamehame-ha. The Z Fighters start to panic, Cell announces that
he'll
destroy the planet with his full-power attack, and Gohan just
stands
there. Vejita thinks that it's all over, but Gohan quietly
mutters
"Kamehame-HA!!!!!" and chews Cell up pretty good.
Cell wants to know how this boy got such great power, and
Vejita
worries over this, too. Gokuu yells out for his son to finish
Cell off
now, but the boy is just starting to have fun. Gokuu yells back
that he
doesn't know what Cell can really do, but Gohan waits for the
monster to
regenerate. Cell yells out "Shit" a few times, and then
bulks up,
adding that he's not going to lose. Trunks notices that Cell's
speed
changes with the massive build up of muscle. But, the monster is
unstable, and the kick to the head causes him to spit up #18, and
to
change back down from his perfect form. Gohan considers this to
be
boring, because it's all over now. Cell swears, and starts
ballooning.
He's become a large bomb now, and in one minute he'll destroy the
planet. If Gohan attacks, he'll just speed up the process. Gohan
realizes that he's screwed up, and he collapses to the ground.
The
others wait for the end, and Cell counts off the remaining
seconds.
However, Kuririn comments on Gokuu's strange expression, and the
fighter
says that he's figured out how to save the planet. He tells them
"bye
bye," and teleports out. He appears in front of Cell,
telling Gohan
that he'll take over from here. He gives a last word for Chi Chi,
and
teleports out with Cell.
But, the only place he can think of going, with only 4 seconds
left,
is Kaiou-sama's planet. Cell yells out "shit" and
self-destructs.
Piccolo tells the group that he can't feel Gokuu's power anymore,
and
Kuririn calls out his friend's name.
Gohan screams out "father," and the announcer tries
to figure out
what happened. Kuririn tries to reassure the boy that it's
finished,
and they gather up #18's body to take back. The runt tries to
tell the
boy that everyone had done their best, etc. Gokuu apologies to
Bubbles,
and Kaiou bitches at the fighter (why not choose Kami-sama's
tower, or
some planet sparsely populated by humans?) They exchange excuses,
until
Gokuu realizes that Cell's spirit hasn't joined them in the
"Other
World." Kaiou figures out that this means that Cell is still
alive.
Back on Earth, Kuririn's trying to tell the group that since #18
hadn't killed anything living, she can't be such a bad person.
Then,
the group feels an incredible power, and an energy bolt leaps out
to
kill Trunks. Cell steps from the cloud of dust, wondering who
he'd hit.
Cell is back, and he explains that since a small piece of his
head had
remained unvaporized, he was able to regenerate himself back into
his
perfect form. And, because of the Saiya-jin blood in him, coming
back
from near-death has made him even stronger than before. Using
Gokuu's
teleport, he quickly returned to Earth. Vejita fumes over Trunk's
death.
Cell wants to know why Gohan's powered up again, and the boy
answers
that he's gleefully going to waste his father's killer. Cell asks
how
that's going to happen. Vejita yells out "Trunks!!!"
and "Shit!!!",
then attacks Cell. The ultra Saiya-jin fires off a lot of blasts
before
being batted away. Cell is about to kill the downed fighter, but
Gohan
protects him from the blast -- it messes up his right arm,
though.
Kuririn calls Vejita an idiot -- stating that Trunks can be
resurrected
via the Dragon Balls. Cell is tired of playing and is going to
wrap things
up. Piccolo adds that they've run out of Senzu seeds. Cell
prepares to
destroy the fighters, and the Earth with them. Gohan apologizes
to his
father for not being able to protect the Earth, and the others
over-react (Vejita can sympathize with the boy, and Piccolo rages
outloud at their helplessness.) In the city, people comment on
the
earthquake. The announcer describes the action, and Satan calls
it a
trick.
Cell asks Gohan what's wrong, adding that this will be the
last shot.
Gohan is giving in, when Gokuu speaks to him via Kaiou-sama. They
talk
back and forth, with Gokuu promising to help Gohan out with his
Kamehame-ha. (Cell hears part of the conversation, and thinks
that
there's only one person about to attack him.) Gokuu assures the
boy
that they'll win, and Gohan apologizes for getting his father
killed.
Gokuu says that he's doing ok in the other world with Kaiou-sama,
so the
boy should have fun while he's alive on Earth. Cell and Gohan
start their
Kamehame-ha's, and Piccolo shouts out that the boy's power isn't
anywhere near strong enough to defeat the monster. Piccolo warns
the Z
Fighters, and the shockwave knocks them aside. The blasts are
pretty
even, for a while. Piccolo announces that Gohan's going to lose.
Cell
knows he's going to win, and Gokuu keeps trying to make Gohan
push
harder. Gohan is using up all his power, trying to punish Cell
for
damaging the Earth and people. The monster tells them goodbye,
then
gets hit in the head by Vejita's blast. The distraction is enough
to
allow Gohan to completely vaporize every particle of Cell (he
can't
believe this is happening.) The boy collapses, and Gokuu
congratulates
him.
There's much rejoicing, and the group is going to take the
bodies to
Kami-sama's and get some Senzu seeds. The others fly off, leaving
Piccolo and Vejita behind. The Namek comments on Vejita's having
helped, and the Saiya-jin replies that he didn't do it to save
Earth,
whose people he doesn't care about. Piccolo understands. Vejita
talks
to himself, about having done it for his kid. He also fumes about
Kakarot's going off and dying so that Vejita can't kill him
himself. He
doesn't have anyone to fight anymore.
Satan is gibbering, and the announcer asks what happened.
Thinking
fast, the wrestler realizes that no one else saw the end of the
fight.
Satan declares that he'd stepped in at the last minute and saved
everyone. The balls of light were just a trick -- he's the one
that
defeated Cell. So, the announcer repeats this to the viewing
audience,
and the masses of the world start chanting Satan's name.
At Kami-sama's, Dende is healing #18, and Yamcha is warning him
to
leave before he gets killed (Kuririn doesn't think that's going
to
happen.) #18 jumps up, and Kuririn quickly tells her what had
happened,
#18 is surprised that it was Gohan, and Yamcha says "Yes!!
And he's
really strong, too!" Piccolo adds that she owes Kuririn for
the favor
of saving her body, and the runt says it was nothing. Gohan
suddenly
realizes that Kuririn likes #18, the runt tells him to shut up,
and the
others just figure it out for the first time. #18 insults the old
bald
man, and flies off. Yamcha yells out more insults, Tenshin tells
him
that he's wasting his time, and Piccolo wants them to hurry up
and
summon Shenlon. Gohan reassures the runt that all his friends are
here,
and Kuririn tearfully tells him to shut up.
Shenlon appears, and #18 pauses to find out why the sky has
gone
black. The first wish is to bring back everyone killed by Cell,
but
Piccolo doesn't feel Gokuu's spirit return. Shenlon asks for the
second
wish, Yamcha asks about Gokuu, and is told "no-go."
Then, Gokuu pipes
up, via Kaiou-sama, and reassures them that with peace on Earth,
there's
nothing more for him to do. Besides, he'll meet them all again
when
they die, too. He tells them "Bye, bye."
Shenlon stammers out, asking about the next wish. Yamcha says
that
asking for a necklace for his girlfriend is right out, right?
After
thinking a long time, Kuririn wants to know if #17 and #18 could
be made
fully human again. The dragon answers that since the androids are
stronger than him, he can't do it. Yamcha wants to know why #17
is being
included, and Piccolo states that since everyone killed by Cell
has been
wished back to life, that included #17. Kuririn then asks if the
explosive devices inside the two androids can be removed --
"Yes, I can
do that." It is done, Shenlon disappears, and Trunks asks
why? Kuririn
bashfully says that having bombs in you is a pitiful thing.
Kuririn
wonders about Yamcha's girlfriend, and the fighter tells him that
that
was just a cheap gag.
Tenshin wants to know why the bomb was removed from #17, and
the runt
replies that it seemed reasonable, since #17 and #18 are probably
lovers. Piccolo doesn't understand this love stuff. #18 jumps out
from
behind the pillar, calling the runt an idiot -- the two androids
are
brother and sister. They don't owe anybody anything for having
the
bombs removed. However, she leaves again with "until
later." Yamcha
shouts out "'Until later' -- you hear that? You still have a
chance
with her." Piccolo reiterates that he really doesn't
understand this
love thing.
Then there's silence, as they realize that Gokuu is really
gone.
Tenshinhan decides to leave, because Chao-zu is probably worried.
He
doesn't think they'll meet again, so everyone gives each other
their
best wishes and Trunks is told to return to the future and
restore
peace. Trunks is returning to the future. Piccolo is staying at
Kami-sama's, but Gohan is given leave to come there and play with
both
Piccolo and Dende. The group splits up, and Trunks asks Yamcha
what had
happened to his father. He gets told, and is pleased with his
father's
behavior. Chi Chi breaks down at the news of Gokuu's death.
Later, Trunks is saying goodbye to people, and Vejita signs his
approval of the boy.
End of Gokuu's story.
In Trunk's future, in the west sector...
Trunks announces that he's back, and Buruma welcomes him.
He explains that the time in the Room of Spirit and Time had
caused
him to age 1 year in 24 hours. He further tells her what
happened, and
that he found his father to be a really cool guy (Buruma has
trouble
accepting that description of Vejita.) The radio announces that
the
androids are back, and Trunks goes out to fight them and return
peace to
the world.
#17 and #18 are bantering about losing computer games when an
old man
shoots #17 in the face. The old man dies, and Trunks shows up to
end
the killing. #17 comments on the wimp still being alive, and #18
asks
if it's ok for her to kill the guy off now. She can do whatever
she
likes. Trunks easily destroys her, and #17 asks how this is
possible.
Trunks just states that he's going to get revenge for the deaths
of Gohan
and friends. He finishes off #17, and says that it's over.
Three years later, it's time for Cell to appear, and Trunks is
going
through the motions of going back in time. He then announces that
he
knows that Cell is present, and that the monster wants to kill
him to
take the time machine and go back to eat #17 and #18 to become
complete.
Cell wants to know how his victim knows this. This time, Trunks
is
going to finish things. They talk over past events, and Trunks
states
that he's the one that finished off #17 and #18 in this timeline.
He
blows Cell up into the air, and the two of them go out to an
unpopulated
area outside the city. They brag a bit, then attack. Cell then
decides
to demonstrate a really frightening power (Kamehame-ha) and
Trunks just
completely eradicates the monster. Cell swears and dies. Trunks
has
won, and he thanks Gokuu and friends. The narration box simply
says
that the living Trunks has brought peace to his future timeline.
