Never Left Hell!

Chapter seven: Now or Never!

Cell grinned sadistically waiting for the smoke to clear. Goku was looking in shock at his son's foot that slowly crept out from underneath the smoke. Blood was everywhere and Dende didn't dare to look anymore. He was still on the ground where he took cover from the blast as Gohan had jumped in front of him.

A stronger wind blew pushing all the smoke away. It revealed Gohan laying on the ground covered in blood and scrapes and bruises. His breathing was heavy and seemed to be painful. Goku couldn't find his voice and watched as his son was fighting to keep his breathing.

Cell smirked as he saw the state of Gohan. He couldn't move at all and was about to stop breathing. 'This is the end! He may have lived through the attack, but now he's defenceless' Cell thought as he charged yet another kameha. 'Goodbye!' Cell said out loud.

Goku cocked his heard up as he heard Cell speaking. He saw the kameha Cell was charging. Goku turned to face Cell, but was interrupted by soft moan.

Gohan slightly twitched and slowly began to push himself up with his arms. He nearly fell back a few times, but did not give up. As he moved to get up more blood oozed from his wounds spilling to the floor.

Cell looked less pleased and more annoyed. 'Why you!' Cell said feeling his anger rising. 'How can he still get up!? This is absurd! Damn that kid!' Cell thought. He didn't wait for Gohan to get up and fired his half charged kameha.

Goku noticed the kameha charge at Gohan. Even though it wasn't fully charged Goku was sure Gohan wouldn't be able to take it in his current state. He charged forward trying to intercept the beam.

Gohan was on his knees and felt the kameha coming straight for him. 'Damn it! Even if I could dodge it, I can't let it hit Dende' Gohan said as he knew Dende was still behind him.

The beam came closer signing Gohan's death. Goku was nearly there, but just as he came close a strong ki-blast came his way causing him to dodge and get further away from Gohan.

'Shit!' Goku shouted as he dodged the blast. He realised why Cell did it and saw the beam inches away from Gohan. 'NO GOHAN!' Goku screamed.

The beam hit and another explosion erupted this time less explosive. Goku felt tears run down his face as he realised his son was gone. Cell however screamed in victory finally having his revenge.

'YES! You damn kid! I am the strongest in the Universe! No one can stop me!' Cell screamed as he realised he finally did it.

The smoke yet again blew away. Goku forced himself to look up at where probably Gohan's body would be. As he lifted his head all he saw was the blood from before. There was no fresh blood and no body either. Goku was stunned and even more worried as he looked around for his son.

Cell now noticed as well Gohan was gone. 'What!? Where did he go? He couldn't have dodged that! How did he do that!?' Cell thought getting very angry.

All of a sudden a foot landed in Cell's face sending the android flying off the Look Out. Goku nearly choked as he saw Gohan in the same state he was before standing where Cell was just seconds before. Dende quickly ran behind the building on the Look Out.

Gohan was breathing heavily and stood a bit crouched. He was still bleeding, but less than before. His breathing was still heavy, but more controlled. He looked at his dad and smiled a reassuring smile.

Goku couldn't bring out any sound as he saw Gohan walking towards him. Cell seemed to be thinking things over since he did not fly back up immediately.

'Gohan?' Goku asked not believing it. Gohan nodded as he looked around sensing where Cell was.

'I'm fine dad. Dende pushed me out of the way and healed me for a few split seconds' Gohan quickly explained. Before Goku could wonder Cell appeared back on the Look Out.

Cell looked outraged at Gohan and Gohan could swear he was nearly busting out of his skin. 'How did you live after that?!' Cell nearly screamed from the distance he was standing.

Gohan slowly walked closer to him. 'Lets just say I have a great backup' Gohan said. Cell growled and Gohan could nearly hear his teeth break. 'Lets get this over with, you still have something of mine' Gohan spoke now getting serious.

Goku looked a bit confused not getting where Gohan was going at. Cell however knew what the boy meant. He revealed the four-star dragonball he took from Mr. PooPoo. Goku's mouth fell open now that he realised Cell had the dragonball.

'What you had a dragonball?!' Goku shouted unbelievingly. Cell smirked and Gohan looked rather embarrassed at his dad.

'Geez you didn't figure that out already? It doesn't matter anymore anyway' Gohan thought as he focused on Cell again.

'Hand it over or I'll get angry!' Gohan spoke getting Cell and Goku's attention. Cell laughed a bit at that comment.

'You'll get angry? What good would that do? Last time you lost it you nearly killed your own father, though that's not unfamiliar terrain for you, is it?' Cell said indicating how Gohan "killed" his father at the Cell games.

Cell expected to see the boy grow angry and probably loose it again and so did Goku. However Gohan kept his serious look and even grinned at Cell.

'Don't think that's gonna work again. I've been living with guilt for far to long and it's time I got over it. No more taunting. Just you and me!' Gohan said. Cell smirked but on the inside it was quit different.

'Damn it. If that kid is serious he could be difficult. He's not just strong, he's talented. Never mind, he's hurt and I'll kill him for sure' Cell thought. He got in a fighting position and so did Gohan.

Goku got ready as well to intervene when needed. This wasn't going like the Cell Games without jumping into the fight. He would not let Gohan down.

Gohan and Cell shared a dead serious look and charged at the exact same time powering up to their absolute max. Neither planned on dragging the fight out and the warm up was long done. Cell pushed his power up and Gohan went to his max in SS 2. Both forces collided sending small quakes across the Look Out.

#

Dende was behind the building close to the blue room. Gohan had slipped him the radar while the smoke cleared and Dende had used those few seconds to heal Gohan. He was still in a bad shape, but at least he could move now.

Dende had listened to the conversations while checking the radar. He saw the last dragonball was nearby. He just needed Cell to be distracted.

As Gohan and Cell charged each other, Dende jumped off the Look Out and slowly flew down to earth thankful he still knew how to fly.

Dende reached the ground after some minutes and landed carefully. The dragonball was right underneath the Look Out. Dende walked around for another minute when he stumbled on the dragonball. He picked it up and looked at it.

The one-star dragonball was found and now they only needed the four-star dragonbal which was in Cell's custody.

Dende trusted Gohan could do it and flew back up to the Look Out.

#

Goku watched as Gohan and Cell continued to collide. They seemed to be even which was strange since Cell was so much stronger those other times. Perhaps it was because Gohan was healed a few times and grew stronger. Goku didn't give it much thought. He was just glad Gohan could keep up with Cell considering the state he was still in.

Goku's senses went away from the battle as he sensed Dende descending to earth. This confused him a bit until he realised something. Gohan was trying to get the dragonball that Cell had stolen, but even if they had that one the one-star ball was still missing. Goku realised Dende was probably going after it.

Goku thought of helping Dende, but noticed Gohan was getting tired quickly. It wasn't from his transformation, but it was from his wounds. He was still bleeding quit some and fighting at full power. Goku feared Gohan's body wouldn't hold.

#

Gohan and Cell rushed through the air colliding their fists and legs trying to get past the others defences. Gohan felt like he was fighting the Cell Games all over when he went SS 2 for the first time. Only this time his body was severely damaged and he felt how it was ready to give in.

Cell didn't like that he was even with the boy. He put all his anger in his fighting, but now that the boy was serious and in control of his emotions he fought much better and more precise. Gohan seemed to noticed when there was an opening and used them just as Cell did. The problem was Gohan was so focused now that he barely showed any flaws in his fighting style.

The fight went on and on neither giving in and neither getting ahead of the other. Both warriors were getting frustrated though Cell was getting more frustrated than Gohan.

'Alright it's going okay. Just have to keep this up for a bit longer. I might be tired and hurt, but I'm more focused than Cell. It won't be long until he makes a mistake' Gohan thought as he focused more and more on Cell's fighting trying to see an opening.

'Damn boy! He's too focused and not showing any flaws. How am I going to hit him? No matter what it takes I'll destroy him and his precious earth! No one rules over me!' Cell thought feeling angrier by the second.

Gohan suddenly noticed Cell was distracted and found an opening. He didn't waist any time and swung his leg at him sending Cell flying down to the Look Out creating a small crater. Before Cell could get up Gohan shot several ki-blasts at him and quickly followed the ki-blasts.

Cell saw the ki-blasts coming for him and tried to block them. However when they were gone Cell realised they didn't do much damage. Before he could look up Gohan's fists slammed into his face sending him back once more. Gohan followed with a flurry of kicks and punched never giving a slight opening.

#

Dende hopped out of the blue room and placed the dragonballs on the ground. He looked at the six dragonballs and felt slight hope in him. He quickly peaked around the corner of the building and saw Gohan pummelling Cell with kicks and punches.

#

Goku was surprised to see Gohan fighting so well in his state. He felt proud and secure as if everything would be alright. It felt a bit weird. Normally it would be Gohan who felt secure because his dad was there. Now Goku felt secure because his son was doing so great.

#

Gohan kept pummelling Cell until they reached the end of the Look Out. Just as Gohan aimed a kick at Cell that would shove him off the Look Out Cell countered. He grabbed Gohan's foot and swung him around sending Gohan off the Look Out.

Gohan was surprised, but quickly recovered and flew right back at Cell. Inches before Cell, Gohan noticed the purple on Cell's finger. He flung himself aside missing the beam by inches.

Cell growled. Not even that surprise got to the boy. He was too focused to be tricked so easily. He might have been able to swung the boy away, but that merely stopped the assault the boy was giving him. Cell wanted him to pay and get hurt.

Cell was pulled out of his thoughts as he heard Gohan groan. He turned around and saw Gohan on the ground. Cell was stunned for a minute as he watched the boy.

'Shit! That move cost me my balance. I guess I'm more hurt than I thought' Gohan thought. A lot of time he didn't have as he saw Cell snapping out of his surprise state and charging at him.

Gohan rolled aside missing the ki-blasts Cell fired at him. He pushed himself up as he rolled on his stomach and pushed back hard.

Cell was too much pushing forward causing him to fly pass Gohan. He turned around only to be met with a ki-punch from Gohan. Cell flew back and slammed into the pillar of the Look Out building.

He growled and slowly rose as he saw Gohan catching his breath not assaulting him while he had the chance. 'Ah he seems to be breaking down. I can still win this, but that I knew I would' Cell thought as he smiled already planning his victory.

Cell then sensed something from behind somewhere. The little green guy he tried to kill. A thought crossed Cell's mind and he charged forward at Gohan smiling sadistically.

Gohan felt like he had asthma as he could barely get any air in his lungs. He was glad that Cell took a moment to get back up. After a minute Gohan sensed Cell charging back at him. He tried to stand up, but started coughing up blood and fell on his knees.

Cell noticed Gohan falling on his knees and charged even faster. Inches away from Gohan he moved his fist back and got ready to slam it in the boy. He moved his arm forward, but it did not move. Cell was abruptly flung aside by Goku who had grabbed his fist when he had it pulled back.

Cell flew aside rather dazed by all this. Goku quickly ran to his son who was coughing badly on the ground.

'Gohan?' Goku asked worried. Gohan only managed to glance up at Goku before coughing heavily again. Goku feared Gohan had internal bleedings. (yes Goku knew about those, he's much smarter now)

Cell was angered by the interruption. He fired a ki-blast at Goku and Gohan which Goku easily caught and sent back as he powered up to SS 2. He was more in control over this form now and would be trouble for Cell.

Cell growled under his breath as he remembered the thought he had a short while ago. He smiled evilly at Goku and disappeared from sight. Goku immediately realised what Cell was planning since it was that plan that brought them to the Look Out.

'Dende!' Goku said out loud as he too vanished. Gohan coughed more blood, but pushed himself up. He stood unstable and nearly fell down again. However the fear of losing Dende and his dad gave him slight strength.

Gohan sped up as fast as possible and flew to where Dende was.

#

Dende looked in horror as Cell appeared a few meters away from him. Cell fired an enormous ki-blast to finish Dende off as soon as he reappeared in front of him. Cell smiled sadistically as the ki-blast flew at Dende.

Suddenly Goku appeared in front of Dende completely unprotected and he didn't even have time to block or raise his energy to shield himself from it.

The blast hit full force and Goku felt it rip his skin away and continue through his whole body. In only seconds Goku felt his life force drop to zero and everything around him went black. The last thing Goku saw before he blacked out was Gohan flying at full speed towards them.

#

Gohan saw the blast hit his dad. 'NO DAD!' Gohan screamed as he realised he was too late. Cell smirked as Goku's body dropped to the ground.

Gohan dropped next to his dad and started shaking his body. Dende was crying freely. 'Dad! Dad wake up! God Damn It! WAKE UP!' Gohan screamed filed with grieve and pain.

Cell laughed softly having killed Goku again. He loved to see the pain on Gohan's face.

Dende crawled closer trying to heal Goku though he knew he was already gone. Gohan gave him some room to heal his dad, but as Dende tried he noticed it was too late. He lost him, again.

Dende knew he couldn't heal Goku and gradually moved his hands to Gohan now that he had the chance. Gohan didn't even notice as he looked at his dad's body. All he saw was the body and flashes from when he teleported away with Cell two years ago.

Cell began feeling bored and noticed six other orange balls gathered behind Dende. Just as he stepped forward Gohan screamed in pure agony.

'DADDY!' Gohan screamed reliving the Cell Games again. Cell smirked as he stepped forward again.

This time no sound stopped him, but something else did. Gohan had stood up and looked him straight in the eyes. Gohan's eyes were completely different from two years ago. They were empty and filled with hatred and they looked cold. Even Cell felt chills on his back as he watched those eyes.

Gohan felt like he would burst out of his skin. He clenched his fists so hard blood poured out. He felt his power rise above anything he ever felt. He reached SS 2 in less than a second at his max, but he went even higher. The entire Look Out began to shake and even small cracks appeared in it. Gohan's hair grew longer and his eyebrows disappeared. His power went nuts and reached a height unknown to any.

Dende was holding on to the building on the Look out so he wouldn't be blown off. Cell looked scared all over again. Gohan's power finally stopped rising and steadied. Gohan had now become a Super Saiyan 3.

Cell was even trembling a bit as he sensed the enormous power. 'I see you still haven't learned anything Cell' Gohan said with venom in his voice. 'Never anger a saiyan or you might get hurt' Gohan continued. Cell backed away a bit clenching the four-star dragonball.

'How did you…this is impossible' Cell stumbled on his own words. Gohan looked dead serious not even grinning as most would after receiving this kind of power.

'Dende get ready for the wish. I'm gonna get that dragonball' Gohan spoke dead serious sounding a bit scary.

Dende nodded and no second later Gohan shot forwards and slammed his whole body into Cell's chest sending the Android flying a mile away.

#

Goku opened his eyes and noticed he was in Otherworld. 'What?! I died again?!" Goku said out loud as he jumped up. To his surprise he saw all his friends standing a bit away from him.

Tien, Krillin, Yamcha, Chaotzu, Piccolo, Vegeta and his whole family, master Roshi and all who lived with him, Baba and last Chichi and Goten.

'Daddy!' Goten shouted as he ran to his dad. Goku hugged his youngest son and walked to the others.

'Back again?' Krillin joked. Goku grinned in his typical way holding Goten on his shoulder. He hugged Chichi and said hi to everyone.

Baba didn't even notice him as she looked in her crystal ball. A too familiar scream pulled their attention to the crystal ball.

'DADDY!' They all heard Gohan scream. They rushed over to Baba. They managed to all get a look at the crystal ball and saw a mentally broken Gohan.

'Oh no, my baby!' Chichi shouted. Then all of them went silent. They noticed Gohan's power skyrocketing and saw him change.

'He did it!' Goku said proudly. The others turned to look at him. 'Gohan reached the next level. I sensed it before, but it didn't get through and wasn't nearly as high as it is now' Goku said focussing on the crystal ball again.

'Damn that brat! How did he do it?! Why is it always someone else!? When do I get to have strength!?' Vegeta thought angrily which went unnoticed to the others.

'Amazing, Gohan you did it. I'm proud of you' Piccolo thought. Goku might show his pride openly, but Piccolo kept it inside.

They cheered as they saw Gohan send Cell flying.

#

Gohan was in front of Cell in less than a second slamming the android back to the Look Out. Cell crashed down hardly, but Gohan was already there pummelling him with kicks and punches.

After a few minutes Gohan fired a ki-blast at Cell. Cell nearly went through the Look Out as he slammed in it making a very deep crater.

As he slowly rose out of the crater his wounds were showed. He looked as though he had been fighting for hours at a stronger opponent when it was barely half a minute after Gohan transformed.

Cell fired a kameha at Gohan. Gohan didn't move and fired a strong ki-blast at it. Cell laughed at the attempt, but soon his laugh was gone. The ki-blast completely pushed through the kameha splitting it in two different directions. The ki-blast went through Cell's body. Gohan in the mean time steered the two split beams to the air where they did no harm.

Dende was watching with awe at Gohan. He couldn't believe it.

Gohan flew straight back at Cell not giving him time to regenerate the hole in his stomach. He punched the android in the face and kicked him against the stomach where the hole was. Cell doubled over in pain and nearly lost his flight.

As Cell clutched what was left of his stomach Gohan grabbed the dragonball and disappeared from sight. Gohan tossed the ball in Dende's arms and turned around to find Cell missing.

Dende rushed over to the other dragonballs and quickly called forth the dragon. The sky slowly darkened when Dende suddenly felt a strong force in his side. Dende flew over the edge unconscious.

Gohan saw Cell slam Dende off the Look Out. The dragon appeared in front of Cell. Cell had heard Gohan say something about a wish. Gohan felt the panic rise and shot at Cell at blinding speed.

'I'm sorry Dende! I have to stop Cell! Please forgive me!' Gohan thought as he felt Dende tower down to earth.

Gohan charged ki in his hands and inches away from Cell he raised them above his head. Cell was about to speak to the dragon who grew impatient.

'MASENKO HA!' Gohan shouted. The blast hit Cell full force and vaporised most of him. Gohan was just in time seeing Cell had not been able to form a single word.

Gohan didn't waist another second and nearly shouted at the dragon. 'I WISH THAT THE BLACK HOLE NEVER APPEARED AND NEVER WILL!' Gohan nearly shouted. The dragon went silent for a minute.

Cell was slowly regenerating from just a few cells. Then everything went crazy. It was as if time was being reversed.

Gohan fighting Cell, Gohan changing back from SS 3 to SS 2, Goku died to alive. It was too fast to follow. It jumped back all those days. Gohan finding nearly everyone dead, Gohan being wished alive, Gohan fighting his way in Hell to survive. All back to Gohan disappearing into the black hole, to the z-fighters wishing Goku back and it finally stopped as Gohan was flying to the Look Out to wish back Goku.

#

Gohan was on his way to the lookout. All his friends and family were probably already there. 'Damn it! I'm going to be late!' Gohan thought as he sped up.

A few minutes later Gohan arrived on the Look Out where all his friends were and his mom. One year old Goten was with grandpa.

'Hey sorry I'm late!' Gohan said as he landed.

'Nice you could make it' Krillin said joking.

'Gohan! I told you to leave in time! Why do you never listen!' Chichi shouted at her first born. Gohan flinched under his mom's shouts.

'I said I was sorry. It's not like I want to be late. It just happened' Gohan said.

'Oh I give up! Like father like son!' Chichi said. Gohan grinned at that comment. He found it a compliment. Piccolo noticed and smiled inwardly.

After some chatting up Dende called forth the dragon and they wished Goku back alive. Goku appeared on the Look Out with Instant Transmission since he was revived where he died, in the desert of the Cell Games.

'Hey!' Goku said in his typical way.

'DAD!' Gohan shouted as he jumped around his father's neck. Chichi joined him and the three of them didn't let go for a few minutes.

The rest waited patiently watching a family being reunited. After that the others welcomed Goku back. They decided on a party later that day. Goku agreed and so did Chichi. Gohan was happy with anything now that his dad was back.

They all left to get ready and Goku left with Chich and Gohan to get Goten. On earth everything was perfect again.

#

Somewhere else it was less joyful. Cell was back in Hell and unfortunately he remembered what happened unlike the others on earth. Now that the black hole would never appear he was stuck in Hell for eternity. He growled in anger, but it did nothing to change his fate.

#

Goku and Chichi sat together in front of their little house watching Gohan playing with Goten. Their family was back together and nothing was getting between them ever again, that Goku promised in silence to his wife and two sons. He smiled as he hugged his wife and watched his two sons in peace.

That was chapter seven and the last chapter for this story. DO please review! Within a few days I'll start another dragonball Z story, so check it out then.

Don't forget I have a poll on my profile and need more voters. Everyone can vote, the info needed is on my profile. If you already voted, but liked the new option I put in about two days ago PM me so I know.

BTW, some people might notice Goten's age sounds wrong, but I just made him be born shortly after the Cell Games.

Bye and thanks for reading and I hope you'll keep on reading my stories.
