A/N: Hey, AntiHero here! Just want my readers to know that I'm excited to be taking over this story. This Fanfic originally belonged to Revolve X, but he put it up for adoption and I was the first to ask to adopt it. A shame though, he did a pretty good job when he started it by himself. Anyway, now that I'll be in charge of this story there's gonna be some changes, nothing too major and hopefully Revolve X will give me a few idea or pointers that will help make this fanfic better. Now it's time for Dragon Tail Z!

Disclaimer- I do not own Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT or Fairy Tail

Chapter 1- An Unexpected Ending

His face still held a smile even in the moments of his death. "Good bye, my son." Those were the final words Goku said to his beloved son, who was staring at him in shock and confusion. He gave Gohan a slight wink before his face turned serious as he concentrated on teleporting the Bio Android to another planet. Cell squirmed as he realized what Goku was doing; in a few seconds, Goku and Cell suddenly disappeared from the Earth.

"Dad, come back!" cried Gohan.

"GOKU!" yelled Krillin.

All of the Z Fighters watched in shock as their second strongest member used the Instant Transmission to save the Earth. All they could sense was the rapid fading in Goku's Ki, before it faded completely.

Gohan couldn't believe it. He fell to his knees as tears started to form streams and run down his face. It was all his fault that his father died; if only he had finished Cell, his father would be here. If he didn't get too cocky, none of this would've happened. "DADDDDDDY!" screamed the Demi Saiyan.

Krillin fell to the ground, devastated. Goku was dead. He died trying to save them all. Krillin saw how Gohan was reacting. No one blamed the boy, so he didn't have to do that to himself. The Monk walked toward the Son of Goku. He needed comforting; no one blamed him, and he should stop blaming himself. Krillin kneeled down beside Gohan and put his hand on his back.

"That's right, cry. Just let it all out little buddy." comforted Krillin.

"It's all my fault. Dad didn't have to sacrifice himself. I wish it was me. Now he's gone and I'm still here." replied Gohan.

"Hey, don't blame yourself; if it wasn't for you, the Earth and all of us would've been history. You saved us. Your Dad was very proud of you, Gohan, and he had to do what he did because he loved you," said Krillin. Gohan looked at his partner with tears in his eyes. "Come on, let's go." Krillin helped Gohan to his feet. He finally took notice of the Cyborg that was punched out of Cell. "Android 18, I almost forgot about her." Krillin ran toward the Android on the ground.

"Come on guys, she's still alive. We have to help her." He proceeded to carry the unconscious Cyborg off the ground.

"Daddy," said Gohan as he stared toward the sky with tears still pouring down his face.

"Krillin, what are you doing with that machine?! Put it down now!" ordered Vegeta as he approached Krillin.

"What?" asked Krillin, stopping in front of Vegeta.

"Destroy it now!" Vegeta considered destroying the Android, but Krillin objected.

"No. She's not that bad, she just needs help," said the monk.

"You're pathetic. Fine, do what you want. I don't care," was all the prince had to say.

All of the Z Fighters stood there for a couple of seconds, wondering what to do next. Suddenly, a strong wind pushing them a couple of millimeters forward caught their attention. Dust started to surround the area behind Gohan. "What the hell is that?!" asked Piccolo. Electricity was now visible to the Z Fighters while a shock wave made a huge rumbling sound. "That Ki!" exclaimed Vegeta. "It can't be!" shouted Mirai Trunks. "He's back!" That was all that was heard from the disbelieving Piccolo. A huge beam made its way through the Z Fighters until it hit an unsuspecting Trunks in the chest. Mirai Trunks was sent flying until his body hit the ground a couple of centimeters away.

Vegeta couldn't believe it, not only was Cell alive, but his son was lying on the ground in between life and death. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" laughed Cell from within the dust. "My aim is as good as ever. It's so good to be back." All the Z Fighters were currently watching, horrified from what just happened. Cell left Trunks in between life and death from just one attack.

"Cell, look what you did to Trunks!" cried Gohan.

"N-No. Why is he here again?" asked Yamcha.

"You thought you'd never see me again, didn't you? Well too bad, I'm alive. But I can't say the same about Goku," taunted Cell. "Want to know how I survived the blast? Well, it's actually quite simple. It is all in here, it's part of my design. Every cell I have a has a life of its own. I can't die, it's impossible. Even if I self-destruct, I will always come back."

After explaining how he was revived and got back to Earth, Cell announced the continuation of the Cell games, challenging the remaining Z Fighters to battle once again. "So, which one of you cowards is the bravest?" asked the Bio Android. It was then that Gohan stepped forward and powered up to his Super Saiyan 2 form once more.

"No, Gohan," said Vegeta.

"You don't scare me, Cell!" exclaimed Gohan.

"Is that so?" asked Cell. "Perhaps I should teach you some respect, boy!"

"One thing I learned from my father is to never give up, even when the odds are against you!" said Gohan, his Saiyan blood thirsting for battle and vengeance. "If you're as powerful as you say you are, then bring it on!"

As the two warriors prepared to fight, the others were checking on their fallen comrade. Vegeta could only stare in shock as his son's body twitched, fighting to stay alive. Trunks coughed up blood as his life force started to fade. Vegeta's anger began to rise the longer he stared at his son.

"Trunks…my son…Kakarot, this is all your fault!" thought the Saiyan Prince. "How could I let this happen to my son? He has sacrificed everything for me…and I've done nothing but ignore him! No…I won't give up on him! There's still time to change things! Cell has crossed me for the last time! He has tricked me in battle, mocked my Saiyan ancestry, but this time he's gone too far! He will pay the ultimate price for what he has done to my son!"

"RAAAAAA!" screamed Vegeta.

This surprised Cell and the other Z Fighters. Vegeta then turned Super Saiyan and charged at grasshopper as he cried, "CELL!" The Saiyan Prince fired his Maximum Flasher at the Bio Android. The attack completely consumed him, but Vegeta was relentless. He fired multiple ki blasts at Cell. "I'll make sure he can't regenerate again!" said Vegeta as he continued his attack. Vegeta eventually stopped blasting and searched for what was left of Cell. When he couldn't see him, he sighed, "It's over."

The Super Bio Android suddenly appeared right in front of Vegeta; he was smirking as he was unfazed by the volley of energy blasts, which shocked Vegeta and the Z Fighters. "Wrong! It's over when I say it's over!" said Cell. He hand chopped Vegeta in the face, knocking him into the ground. "And it's over now!"

The grasshopper proceeded to finish off the beaten Saiyan Prince with a Ki blast. Gohan, realizing that Vegeta would be killed, rushed to save his comrade. He jumped in between the Saiyan and the blast and it made contact with his left arm before both Saiyans were consumed by the explosion.

"Why would Gohan sacrifice himself to save Vegeta?" asked Cell before deducing, "I will never understand the ways of these Saiyans."

When the smoke cleared, both Saiyans were seen lying on the ground in pain. Gohan slowly stood, revealing his now broken arm that was damaged by Cell's blast. "Well, I've enjoyed myself, and you won't be much of a challenge to me with your left arm completely useless, so I'll just finish you now!" said Cell as he began to charge his Solar Kamehameha. "Gohan…this is it! It ends here! First I'll destroy you, then your friends, and then this worthless planet! But before I do, I want you to remember something: I will live FOREVER!"

The son of Goku could only stand and stare at Cell as he waited for the Earth's end. Prince Vegeta was now lying on the ground, his hope now gone. After seeing that his pride and rage had deprived a fellow Saiyan and fighter of their victory, Vegeta, for the first time in his life, apologized for his arrogance. "Gohan, I'm sorry." Gohan stood there in disbelief that the proud Saiyan Prince actually apologized to him. "Sorry? I never thought I'd hear that from Vegeta," thought Gohan. "There's truly no hope left. Father, I'm sorry, I couldn't stop him. I failed."

"Gohan, don't you dare give up!" said a voice from inside Gohan's mind.

"DAD?!" shouted Gohan.

"Son, there's still a chance. Don't give up hope, you can still win!" Goku encouraged his son.

"But how?" asked Gohan. "My left arm is numb, and I've lost half my Ki."

"Easy, put all you have into one final Kamehameha! I know you can do it!" said Goku. "You already have all the power you need, just bring it out! Show Cell the power we discovered together!"

Gohan listened to his father's words as his hope started to build up. "I understand what you're saying, dad. I've got one arm left, but that's all I need to win. And I will!" The Demi Saiyan then summoned all the power he could muster and focused it into one final attack. Everyone watched anxiously as Gohan prepared to fight Cell to the death in a Kamehameha battle. With both attacks fully charged, Cell said, "Now… you…die!" as he fired his Solar Kamehameha. Gohan countered with his own one handed Kamehameha, and the energy beams collided as the ground underneath them shattered.

Meanwhile, Mirai Trunks was currently lying on the ground immobilized, unable to speak as his life force was fading fast. In his final moments, the Saiyan Prince couldn't help but smile. "After all these years, I had to suffer because I wasn't strong enough to defeat the Androids in my time," thought Trunks as he coughed up more blood. "As soon as I get the power to destroy them, I find myself lying on the ground unable to move. How ironic." He closed his eyes, hoping to ease the pain as he felt that his time was finally up. After a few seconds, he realized that he wasn't in pain anymore.

"Am I dead?" asked the time traveler. "Is this how it feels in the Otherworld?"

Trunks opened his eyes to see a small green person stretching their hands over him. When his vision cleared, he realized that it was Dende using his powers to heal him.

"Good, I made it in time!" said Dende as he continued healing the half Saiyan.

"Dende! What are you doing here?!" asked Trunks.

"The moment I felt your life force decrease, I rushed here to try to save you," explained Dende. "Guess I got here just in time. Besides, your mother gave this sword and told me to deliver it to you. She fixed it after the Androids broke it."

Trunks smiled as he grabbed his blade. Dende had just finished closing the hole in Trunks' chest, so the Saiyan hybrid was no longer in any real danger, but his body was still injured and his energy wasn't fully restored. Trunks immediately sat up when he sensed the clashing of multiple Ki. His eyes focused on the two giant Kamehameha waves pushing against each other and splitting apart the Earth in the struggle.

"What's going on?!" asked Mirai Trunks.

"Gohan is currently in a final showdown against Cell," replied the Namek. "The others are trying to help Gohan but Cell's overpowering them as well."

After hearing this, Trunks immediately strapped on his sword and ascended to the air. "Wait Trunks, I haven't fully healed you yet!" cried Dende.

"Don't worry about me, just go back to the lookout!" said Trunks before he flew towards the area where Gohan and Cell.

"NO CHANCE! YOU HAVE NO CHANCE!" screamed the Bio Android. As soon as Trunks got there, he saw Piccolo, Krillin, Tien, and Yamcha blasting at Cell's back, but they were all knocked away by Cell's energy wave. With the others out of the way, Cell could now focus his energy into overpowering the son of Goku. Gohan pushed as hard as he could but Cell's power was too much for him, and the force of Cell's energy was slowly pushing him back.

"OH NO! THE EARTH IS GONNA BLOW!" cried King Kai as he and Goku watched the planet being ripped apart from the two beams clashing.

Trunks watched as Gohan struggled to hold onto his Kamehameha. He was suddenly reminded of when he saw his mentor's death at the hands on the Androids. He wasn't about to let another Gohan die if he could help it. Trunks immediately turned Super Saiyan and flew towards Cell.

"Dad, I can't win. He's just too strong!" said Gohan.

"Don't give up Gohan! I know you can do it!" Goku encouraged his son.

Cell, on the other hand, could feel Gohan's Ki decreasing by the second and started to mock him. "Yes, I can feel you slipping!" cried Cell.

The four Z Fighters that were blown away were lying on the ground. They watched as the world started to crumble, feeling ashamed as they could not help Gohan defeat Cell.

"Gohan…" said Piccolo.

"We tried," said Tien.

"We're so sorry, Goku," said Krillin "We all tried our very best to be heroes like you, but it's just…"

"It's just not enough," said Yamcha.

They suddenly saw something zoom past them and soar toward Cell. Vegeta had managed to pick himself up and decided to give one last fight before the world ended. "Vegeta?" asked Piccolo when he saw the Saiyan Prince. Another gold light flew past them and headed toward Cell. The Z Fighters were surprised when they saw who it was. "Was that Trunks?!" asked Krillin.

Prince Vegeta had positioned himself right above Cell. He held out his right hand and started to charge up his Big Bang Attack. Before he could fire his attack, he caught sight of someone stopping a few yards away from him. When he saw who it was, he couldn't believe his eyes. "Trunks?!" thought the Saiyan Prince. "But how?!" The son of Vegeta mimicked his father's stance as he aimed at the Bio Android. Vegeta was surprised at this. "When did this boy learn my Big Bang Attack?!" thought Vegeta, but he decided to brush all thoughts aside and focus on defeating Cell.

Gohan was on his last leg; he was still holding his position but he couldn't for much longer. The side that had Gohan's Kamehameha was being overwhelmed by Cell's.

"Release it Gohan, release everything!" said Goku to his son. "Remember all the pain he's caused! The people he's hurt! Now make that your power!"

Cell smirked as he prepared to finish the games once and for all. "SAY GOODBYE SAIYAN!" screamed the grasshopper as his beam almost consumed Gohan's completely. "BIG BANG ATTACK!" shouted Vegeta and Trunks as they launched their attacks at Cell. Cell was suddenly struck in the back by two blasts, drifting his attention from the blast battle to his attackers. He was confused to see Vegeta aiming at him. "VEGETA?!" cried Cell. He then noticed someone beside the Saiyan Prince and was shocked to see the lavender haired Saiyan. "WHAT?! TRUNKS?!" yelled Cell.

"NOW'S YOUR CHANCE!" cried Goku.

Seeing his chance, Gohan summoned all his power and shot it into his Kamehameha. The tables immediately turned just as Cell brought his attention back to the fight. Gohan slowly moved closer to his foe as he put more power into his attack. His face showed pure rage and determination. Cell's body started to disintegrate; Gohan's blasts eventually overpowered Cell and began wiping him out of existence.

"I AM PERFECT! I WILL LIVE FOREVER!" cried Cell in his final moments. "CURSE YOU!"

After releasing all of his Ki into the Kamehameha, Gohan was completely exhausted. He powered down to his base form and fell to the ground. All the remaining Z Fighters had scanned for Cell's energy, but there was no trace of it "You did it Gohan. You won," said Goku. "I'm so proud." Gohan smiled and laughed at his father's words.

"He-He did it. Cell's energy has vanished," said Piccolo in shock.

"You mean we're really safe again?" asked Krillin.

"Seems that way," replied Tien.

"It's been a few years since the last time I heard someone say that," said Yamcha.

The two Saiyan Princes were catching their breath from their attacks. Trunks smiled at his father as he powered down to his base and said, "It's finally over." Suddenly, a small hole started to form in the area where the two Kamehameha waves met. No one noticed it as it started to expand around the battlefield. The hole eventually became large and was now visible from the area where Vegeta and Trunks were. "What is that?!" asked Vegeta as the hole started to suck rocks into it.

"NO! GOHAN!" cried Trunks as he realized that Gohan's unconscious body was being sucked into the hole.

The son of Goku was completely paralyzed as his body entered into the hole. "I'm not losing him again!" though Trunks. He quickly flew toward the hole and went into it after Gohan; he refused to allow this timeline to lose Gohan like his did. "TRUNKS! WAIT!" cried Vegeta as he flew after his son. The hole quickly closed before the Saiyan Prince could enter it. He searched for any sign of Gohan or Trunks, but found none. "DAMMIT, BRAT!" screamed Vegeta as he realized that his son and Gohan were gone.
