I'll Be Training in the Other World!! A Smiling Farewell

[Note: When Goku's speaking in italics, it's because he's speaking to Gohan while we see the people in the living world. When he's not in italics, it's because we're actually seeing him in the afterlife.]

Everyone smiles at Gohan, who lies breathing heavily on the ground. Piccolo, "Can it be? Has he finally defeated Cell?" Vegeta stares down, silently, hovering in the sky. Kuririn leans over Gohan, smiling. "Amazing, Gohan! You really came through! You did it!" Gohan laughs weakly. Yamucha, "This time, he's really dead! Your battle... We..." Kuririn, "You've saved the Earth once again. And you even did it without a senzu!" Gohan laughs, and Piccolo looks down at him. Yamucha kneels beside Gohan and grabs him. "Alright, let's go." He picks Gohan up; Gohan looks up at him. "Thank you..." And he passes out. Kuririn, "G-Gohan!" Yamucha, "Don't worry about it. He must've hit the rock pretty hard." Ten, "Yamucha, I'm not so sure he's alright. He really did use all his strength in that fight." Yamucha, "Whatever you say. I'm sure Gohan's fine." Ten, "Is that right? Well then, I'm going to go see if Trunks is alright." He turns to retrieve the fallen Saiya-jin. Kuririn, "Uh...Yeah...I'm going to go check on Number 18 as well..." They watch him with strange looks and he stops. "Because, you know... Cell took quite a toll on her..." He runs off, laughing nervously. Yamucha and Tenshinhan just look at each other, confused.

Piccolo looks back to Vegeta, hovering nearby in the air. Yamucha, "Piccolo, let's go." Piccolo, "You guys go on to God's Palace." Yamucha, "Right." He and Tenshinhan fly off. Kuririn runs up behind them, carrying Number 18. He follows them off. Piccolo looks back. "Cell was quite a nuisance for you, Vegeta." Vegeta, "He was...unbelievable. I was powerless.... Leave me." Piccolo smiles. "Fine." He jumps into the sky, following Yamucha, Tenshinhan, Kuririn, and Gohan.

Vegeta sits alone in the sky, reflecting on the battle. "He's always ahead of me... That bastard... D-Damn you, Kakkarotto...!" He clenches his fist. "How come you always surpass me...!?" He recalls the last few seconds before Goku teleported Cell away. He unclenches his fist. "I have to...go train..." He flies away.

Mr. Satan stares out at the former battlefield in shock; he gasps. "W-W-W-What the hell is going on here!?" Some rocks fall; he spins around. Behind him, the reporter lies sprawled over. The reporter sits up and looks around. "Oh. Oh? Oh? It's so quiet..." He looks back behind himself. "Oh? M-Mr. Satan! What wonderful deed did you do to get rid of him?" He runs up to Satan. Satan, "Huh?" The cameraman recovers; he rubs his head and looks over at his camera. Reporter, "It certainly wasn't one of those men we saw who got rid of Cell, right? That would make you look quite the fool..." Satan, "Oh, of course, of course!" Reporter, "What about Cell? What happened to Cell?" Satan, "Huh? Uh, C-C-Cell, well... Oh, oh, oh! I got rid of him, of course!!" He laughs. "What did you think?" Reporter, "Oh...?" Cameraman, "So that's what you were doing a while ago?" A van lays on its side. Pizza, "Wow, Mr. Satan! I never doubted you for a second!!" The reporter turns to find Pizza and the disciples gathered behind him. Calorie, "Can you tell us how you did it, Satan-sama!?" The reporter turns back to Satan. "Really, can you tell us?" Satan, W-With great skill..." Reporter, "Did you really kill him?" Satan crosses his arms, laughing nervously. "What? All he did was use those cheap tricks. He was really nothing. I beat Cell! He didn't have a chance!" He laughs. Pizza, "He's so great!" Reporter, "But...what about the other fighters?" Satan, "Well, they are... gone..." Cameraman from far away, "Hey! I found those other guys over here!" The reporter turns to Satan. "Mr. Satan, can it be that you've lied to us!?" Satan, "You would think that I would lie? Don't forget that I'm the World Champion, Mr. Satan-sama!" The reporter turns and runs off. Pizza, "That's right! Cell never had a chance! He's so great!" Satan laughs.

Reporter, "Our precious audience and everyone from all over the world! It's finally over! We return victorious once again! Please remain calm! People of the Earth, everything is fine! Behold, Mr. Satan!" The crowds cheer and throw things into the air. Man, "Mr. Satan usre is the best!" Someone else, "He did it!" The world begins to chant, "SA-TA-N! SA-TA-N!" Dog President, "Something about this doesn't seem quite right. Everyone actually believes that Mr. Satan saved the world?"

Chichi cries into Gyuu Mao's arms. "Dad!!" Gyuu Mao comforts her.

Kaiousama, "With your help, he did just fine." Goku, "Yeah, but I wouldn't have been able to without you, Kaiousama. Thank you." His stomach growls. "I guess all that commotion has made me really hungry! Kaiousama, do you have anything good to eat?" Kaiou, "What are you talking about!? I don't know if there's anything for you to eat! What do you want me to do about it!?" Goku, "Is that so? But I'm so hungry." Kaiousama, "But we're dead." Goku, "I guess I'll just find something..." He begins eating the clouds. "I guess this fills me up little by little..." Kaiousama, "Even when you're dead, you're so full of energy."

Yajirobe, "Huh? Who's coming?" He gets up and walks to the edge of Karin's tower. "Hey! Everyone's coming this way." Ten, Yamucha, Kuririn, and Piccolo stop on the way up. Kuririn, "Yajirobe..." Yajirobe, "I thought you'd be coming up by plane, not flying." Yamucha, "We've got to go." Kuririn, "So this is where he's been spending all his time." They continue on to God's Palace. Yajirobe picks his nose as he and Karin watch them go.

Dende runs out to greet his guests. Yamucha, "Are you Dende?" Dende, "Yes. Hurry up and let me see Gohan-san." Yamucha lays Gohan down, and Dende kneels over him, healing him. Gohan's eyes open and slowly take focus. "Gohan-san!" Gohan sits up. "Dende..." Dende, "Wonderful!" He looks away. "But...Goku-san wasn't as fortunate as you." Everyone looks down sadly. Gohan stands up, and Dende looks up at him. "This is how he wanted it. I'm sure my father is happy where he is now." Everyone just looks around, confused. Gohan continues, "Dad wanted a chance to see how much I've improved. When I was fighting Cell, I could feel him with me. He helped me win the battle." Piccolo smiles. "Heh. Well, I guess so." Gohan looks at him. Piccolo walks up to him. "It's good to see you're alright, Gohan." Gohan, "Piccolo-san." He puts his hand on Gohan's head. "You've changed a lot, Gohan." Gohan grins.

--COMMERCIAL--

Number 18's eyes suddenly open; she gasps. Kuririn, "You've restored her health." Yamucha, "Dende! Hurry and come over here! Come on!" Number 18 jumps to her feet. Kuririn, "Just wait a minute..." Number 18 looks back and forth nervously. "This is God's Palace. Don't worry. Cell was defeated by Gohan." Number 18, "By Gohan...?" Yamucha, "That's right! Be careful about what you do! You can't be forgiven for everything you've done!" Ten, "You...Be quiet." Piccolo, "Kuririn knows what he's doing. Still, Cell took many lives." Number 18 looks down at Kuririn. Kuririn, "No, uh, Satan is the one you should be thinking of, not me..." Gohan, "I get it! Kuririn likes Number 18!" Kuririn swats him on the back of the head. "It's not really like that." Yamucha, "What? Is he serious!? No way!" Ten, "B-but she's an Artificial Human..." Number 18 looks around. Kuririn laughs nervously, Gohan rubs the back of his head. Number 18, "Whoever saved me, thank you. Right, little boy? Leave me alone." She turns and flies away.

Yamucha runs after her. "That damn woman...! Where does she get off talking like that!? I should get you for that!" Ten, "But you're afraid of her." Piccolo, "We need to gather the Dragon Balls so that we can wish Trunks back to life." Popo nods. "Yes." Gohan, "Everything's fine, Kuririn-san! Does this mean that you two are more than 'just friends'?" Kuririn looks away, sad and exasperated. "Just shut up!"

The seven Dragon Balls flash; the sky darkens. Number 18 suddenly stops and gasps when she notices the change. Dende puts his hands out. "Come out, Dragon! And hear my request!" Shenlon emerges from the Dragon Balls as the Z Senshi shield their eyes from the light. Number 18 watches in awe. "Wh-What the hell...is that...!?"

Shenlon stares down at the Z Senshi. Yamucha, "I've wanted to see Shenlon again." Popo, "Kamisama, Shenlon looks great." Dende rubs the back of his head and looks away. "T-Thanks..." Shenlon, "Who is the one who has summoned me here?" Gohan, "Huh? Oh yeah, this is the first time Dende's summoned Shenlon." Number 18 hides behind a column, watching them. Yamucha, "Shenlon! Can you please revive everyone who was killed by Cell?" Shenlon, "Your wish will be granted." His eyes glow red. In the red light that bathes the area, Trunks still lies dead on the floor.

A parade marches through a city. "SA-TA-N! SA-TA-N! SA-TA-N!" Satan and his entourage from the Cell Game ride past in a convertible. The cameraman walks up beside the car the reporter rides in with Satan. "What is it?" He jumps up. "Everyone, please listen! He is definitely the best in the world, isn't he!?" Man, "Yeah! He's great!" Another man, "Here's for his defeating Cell!" Satan jumps up and throws his arms into the air. "I'm the best!" Confetti rains down from the sky as the crowd cheers.

[The fact that some stuff just doesn't make sense at all leads me to believe this following conversation wasn't subbed very well...whenever the DVD comes out, I'll fix whatever needs to be fixed.]

Trunks' eyes open and he suddenly sits, then stands up as Number 18 watches with wide eyes. Piccolo, "No, this isn't good." Gohan, "Huh?" He and Trunks walk over to the group. Piccolo, "Dende is still very new at this. The Dragon Balls and Shenlon are incredible things that, when used correctly, will serve us well. We have to be careful." Ten, "Is that so...?" Shenlon, "What's taking so long? Make your wish." Everyone turns back up to him. Yamucha, "Goku! Son Goku! Is there anything you can do to bring him back? He's been killed and we'd like to bring him back!" Shenlon, "Son Goku has cannot be revived again. He has already died once. It is out of my power." Yamucha turns back to everyone else. "There's got to be some way..." Ten, "We'll find some way to bring him back!" Kuririn, "Maybe it just isn't Goku's time to come back yet." Yamucha, "Yeah, that may be it." Piccolo, "Things have been going strangely well since the confrontation with Cell. There's nothing God can do." Kuririn, "I see..." Dende, "That's right! On Planet Namek, Porunga can still revive him!" Piccolo, "I see. Even though Shenlon can't revive anyone more than once, Porunga can." Ten, "That's right. He revived both Chaouzu and Kuririn." Kuririn, "But how will we get to Planet Namek?" Yamucha, "So there may be a way to bring him back!"

Goku, "Everyone, wait a minute!" Yamucha, "Huh?" He looks for the source. "It's me, Goku!" Kuririn, "Goku!" Gohan, "Dad..." Goku, "I don't want to be brought back to life just yet. Right now, Bulma is more important than me. [Note: I have no idea what Bulma has to do with anything...] Everything will be fine! It was for the best. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." Ten, "Well, if you say so." Yamucha, "That damn Bulma, she always causes problems..." Goku, "The past doesn't matter. Things aren't bad. Kaiousama and I are together now." Kaiousama, "I guess so..." Goku, "I really enjoyed being with you guys. Kaiousama is still a little upset with me for bringing Cell to him, but it was fun watching you defeat Cell. Even though I'm not physically there, my spirit is still with you on Earth. Besides, I'm having fun in the Other World!" Kuririn listens in silence. Piccolo smiles. "He's always been the better one." Goku, "I'm with Kaiousama, so I don't need Shenlon to bring me back. Gohan and Chichi will be able to hold on without me for a while. Don't think of me as gone for good." He pauses. "Gohan is good. He'll hold you over while I'm dead." Gohan, "D-Don't say things like that, Dad!" Goku, "I've got to go! See you! And don't worry! I'm happy to die for the Earth! Bye bye!" Kuririn, "Goku..." Everyone else is silent. "I can't believe he's actually dead... I don't like that idea." Yamucha, "He was a great guy. I wanted to see him again." He recalls Goku as a child, falling over on the ground after losing his tail and not being able to balance. He looks around, but can't find it as Oolong, Bulma, Yamucha, and Puar simply stand there and watch. Finally, he gives up. Yamucha, "Well...let's go..." Kuririn laughs. Ten, "Another time..." Goku runs into Kame House, looking under tables, behind the TV, in the refrigerator, crawling around on the ground, looking in the oven, as Bulma and Yamucha watch, confused. He stands just inside the open door, smiling back at everyone. Bulma, Yamucha, Tenshinhan, Puar, Oolong, and Lunch watch as he flies off on his Kintoun. "And I'll do my best as well." To everyone's shock, Goku deposits a senzu in the near-dead Piccolo's mouth. Piccolo, "Hm. There were no senzu left, so God had to restore him." Images of Kamisama and then one of Goku with Chichi. Gohan, "Dad is...training hard..." Goku walks between Gohan and Kuririn as he approaches Freezer. Gohan watches his father in awe. "And I'll do my best to train hard." The image of Goku walking fades away. Gohan stares into the sky. "Dad...Thank you." Each Z Senshi and Shenlon are shown; Shenlon, "Excuse me..." In the black sky above God's Shrine is an image of Goku, waving. Shenlon, "Uh...isn't there a wish I can grant you?"
