Cell couldn't believe he would die here. Android 17 and 18 were right in front of him, and he was so close to absorbing them to achieve his perfect form.
So close, yet so far!
How frustrating! How utterly frustrating!!!
But no matter how much he resented it, it was aningless. From the mont Cell was lured out by Yuujin and the others, his defeat was already sealed.
Looking at Cell's lifeless body on the ground, Yuujin carefully inspected it before finally feeling at ease.
In the original *Dragon Ball* series, Cell could regenerate as long as the core cells in his brain remained intact, even if his body was completely destroyed. However, this version of Cell, who hadn't absorbed Android 17 and 18, clearly couldn't achieve such a feat.
After being severely injured by Vegea and having his head pierced by Yuujin's Finger Beam, Cell was undeniably dead.
"Now the threat of the androids is truly over."
"Trunks, your world can finally enjoy true peace."
After storing Cell's body in a capsule, Yuujin spoke.
"Yes, thank you, Yuujin-san. Thank you so much!"
Trunks nodded, expressing his heartfelt gratitude. With Android 17 and 18 defeated and the even more dangerous Cell eliminated, their world was finally saved.
"Alright, now that Cell is dealt with, there's no need to stay here any longer. Let's head back."
"Understood!"
With a burst of energy, the group took to the skies, the energy cages containing Android 17 and 18 following closely behind.
The wilderness returned to silence, with only the remnants of the ruins hinting at the events that had transpired…
A few days later, West City—
"Yuujin, Gokumi, Vegea, are you really leaving so soon?"
Bulma took out the ti machine from a capsule, while Trunks and the older Bulma bid farewell to Yuujin and the others.
"We've already stayed here for quite so ti. It's ti for us to return."
Yuujin shook his head as he spoke.
Originally, they were supposed to leave right after defeating Cell, but Trunks convinced them to stay a few more days. However, this was the limit.
As the God and Goddess of another world, Yuujin and his companions couldn't stay here indefinitely.
Knowing that Yuujin and the others were determined to leave, the older Bulma and Trunks, though reluctant, had no choice but to accept it.
"Bulma, you're much luckier than I am."
"Yuujin is an outstanding man and a dependable husband. Cherish what you have and support him wholeheartedly."
The older Bulma held Bulma's hand as she spoke.
"Yes, I know."
Bulma nodded, a rare hint of shyness in her expression.
Although Yuujin could be flirtatious and domineering, and he had many won in his life, Bulma was well aware of his virtues. Over the years, she had been very happy as his wife.
"Mother, please take care of yourself."
Trunks stepped forward and spoke.
"Yes, Trunks, you're a true man now. You must protect your mother in this world, okay?"
"Yes, Mother!"
Bulma smiled, and Trunks nodded earnestly.
Next, the older Bulma and Trunks bid farewell to Yuujin, Gokumi, and the others. However, when it ca to Vegea, Trunks hesitated, unsure of what to say.
Understanding her child well, the older Bulma spoke:
"Vegea, you and my husband Vegeta have a lot in common."
"Both of you are Saiyan royalty, both proud and strong-willed."
"When Trunks was very young, his father Vegeta passed away. Growing up, he always looked lonely when he saw other children with their fathers. Although he never said it, I know Trunks has always admired his father."
"Perhaps he sees a shadow of his father in you, which is why he keeps calling you 'Father.' I know it might be a bit troubleso for you, but please indulge him a little."
As the older Bulma spoke, Trunks lowered his head, not wanting anyone to see his vulnerable expression.
Crossing her arms, Vegea's cold eyes flickered with a hint of emotion.
"Look up!"
"F-Father?"
Vegea barked, and though Trunks was confused, he didn't dare disobey her.
"You're no longer a child but a true warrior. Protect your mother and your world from now on…"
"And since you're also a Saiyan descendant, carry on the Saiyan pride!"
"Don't let hear of you doing anything dishonorable, or I'll co back from another world to deal with you!"
Vegea's voice echoed in the air, and Trunks stared at her in a daze before finally snapping back to reality.
"Yes, Father!"
Standing straight, Trunks replied loudly, his eyes red.
"My, my, Vegea really does act like a father."
"Vegea, why don't you stay in this world and marry ? You could beco Trunks' real father."
"Even though you're a woman, I don't mind."
The older Bulma leaned closer to Vegea, smiling playfully and even winking at her.
"Hmm, not a bad idea."
"Vegea, if you really want to stay, then stay."
"Although losing a reliable companion would pain , if it's for true love, go ahead without hesitation."
"Is Vegea staying to marry Bulma in this world?"
"Vegea, Bulma, congratulations!"
Yuujin nodded as he spoke, but Gokumi was completely confused.
Weren't they supposed to go back? How did the conversation turn into Vegea staying to marry Bulma?
Well, whatever. Marriage is sothing to celebrate! Thinking this, Gokumi even started clapping.
Vegea's face darkened. She really wanted to smack these idiots.
"Get lost!!!"
"Hahaha…"
Vegea was furious, but everyone else burst into laughter.
The somber mood of farewell lightened considerably. Though they were reluctant to part, Yuujin and the others finally prepared to leave.
After tossing Android 17 and 18 from this world into the ti machine, Yuujin and the won waved goodbye to Trunks and Bulma below—
"Trunks, Miss Bulma, goodbye."
"Trunks, keep working hard!"
"Goodbye, Yuujin-san, Gokumi-san, everyone."
"Thank you for your help. Please take care."
