Just at this critical moment, a childish voice rang out from afar. "Uncle Piccolo!" Son Gohan—the son of Son Goku and Chi-Chi—ran out from behind a rock. He was only five years old, but after the Grand Elder of Namek unlocked his potential, his combat power had already reached a staggering 100,000. "Gohan! Don't come over!" Piccolo shouted. But Gohan did not stop. Seeing Piccolo entangled by the tentacles and in such agony, tears welled up in his eyes. "Let go of Uncle Piccolo!" Gohan released all his ki, and a golden flame erupted from his body—Super Saiyan! A five-year-old child, driven by rage, instantly broke through to the realm of a Super Saiyan. "What?!" Vegeta's pupils contracted. Gohan's combat power surged from 100,000 to five million, then continued to climb—ten million, twenty million, fifty million, one hundred million! His hair flickered between gold and black, and the air around him began to distort. "Not enough... still not enough..." Gohan gritted his teeth, tears and sweat mingling together, "I have to save Uncle Piccolo—!" Boom—!!! A brand-new power erupted from within Gohan. His hair turned from gold to a deeper, golden-yellow, standing even straighter; the golden aura surrounding him was now laced with heavy blue lightning; his gaze became sharp and cold, no longer resembling a five-year-old child, but a warrior who had experienced countless battles.
Super Saiyan Second Grade. Combat power: 500 million. Vegeta's face turned pale. A five-year-old child had reached the realm he had dreamed of his entire life. Watching this from afar, Son Goku felt both pride and worry. He was proud of his son's talent, but worried that he was still too young to control such power. Gohan rushed toward Cell, snapping the tentacles binding Piccolo with a single punch. With another punch, he broke the tentacles holding Krillin. His speed was so fast that Cell couldn't even react. "Kid, who are you?" Cell's eyes were filled with shock. "Son Gohan! Son of Son Goku!" Gohan's voice was low and powerful, "You dare hurt Uncle Piccolo, I'll make you pay with your life!" He grabbed Cell by the neck and lifted him up. Cell's body struggled in Gohan's grip, but he was completely unable to break free. "Uncle Kashu, can I kill him?" Gohan turned to look at Kashu. Kashu looked at the five-year-old child, a complex emotion rising in his heart. In the original story, Son Gohan transformed into a Super Saiyan 2 during the Cell Games to defeat Perfect Cell. Now, he had transformed early, though his opponent was Semi-Perfect Cell. "You may. But use this." Kashu handed a Destruction Sphere to Gohan, "Inject the Hakai Energy into his body, and destroy every one of his cells simultaneously." Gohan took the Destruction Sphere and fused the Hakai Energy with his own Kamehameha. "Demon Destruction Kamehameha!" A beam of energy, interwoven with purple-gold and crimson, shot from Gohan's palm and struck Cell's core. Cell's body disintegrated within the Hakai Energy, and this time, there was no regeneration.
"No—!!!" Cell's scream echoed through the sky, and then everything fell into silence. Cell had completely vanished. Piccolo climbed up from the ground, weak but alive. Krillin, Luo Ling, and Gore were also saved, though they had exhausted a great deal of energy. Tien Shinhan was being supported by Chiaotzu; the wound on his chest had healed thanks to the Senzu Bean, but his face remained pale. "Tien Shinhan, are you alright?" Krillin ran over. "I'm fine," Tien Shinhan forced a smile, "I won't die." "Stop talking, hurry and eat a Senzu Bean." Kashu handed Tien Shinhan a bean. Tien Shinhan ate it, and his injuries healed instantly. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Gohan retracted his Super Saiyan Second Grade transformation, his body swaying as he nearly fell. Son Goku flew over and caught his son. "Gohan, you did well," Son Goku said, "but you were too impulsive just now. You're only five; if you can't control that power, you'll hurt yourself." "But Uncle Piccolo..." "Uncle Piccolo is fine." Piccolo walked over and looked at Gohan, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes, "Gohan, thank you for saving me." "Uncle Piccolo!" Gohan threw himself into Piccolo's arms and began to cry. Piccolo awkwardly patted Gohan on the back. Kashu watched this scene, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. "Everyone, let's go home." A grand celebratory banquet was held in New Vegeta City. Tien Shinhan sat at the main table, his chest still wrapped in bandages (though the wound was healed, Chiaotzu had insisted), drinking heavily. Krillin and 18 sat together, holding hands. Piccolo and Gohan sat together, Gohan having returned to his childlike innocence, stuffing his face with meat. "Kashu, are you sure Cell is really dead?" Vegeta walked over and asked in a low voice. "I'm sure. I marked every one of his cells with Hakai Energy and destroyed them all," Kashu said, "He won't be coming back." "Then what about 17 and 18?" "Bulma is currently modifying their programming. Once the modifications are complete, they will become free humans, no longer killing machines," Kashu said, "Perhaps they can join us." Vegeta snorted, "I don't want to be teammates with robots." "They aren't robots; they are Androids—human cyborgs with life," Kashu said, "Besides, 18 seems interested in Krillin." Vegeta glanced at Krillin and 18, his mouth twitching, "That bald guy? Love knows no appearance... suit yourself."
Kashu walked to the window and looked at the starry sky outside. The battle with Cell was over, but Kashu knew this was only the beginning. There were even stronger enemies in the universe—the forces of the Demon Realm, the Goku Black and Zamasu of parallel worlds, the God of Destruction Beerus, the Angel Whis, the Grand Priest, and even Grand Zeno. But those were matters for the future.
"Daddy!" Kariel ran over and grabbed Kashu's hand, "What are you looking at?" "Looking at the stars." Kashu picked up his daughter. "Are there people on the stars?" "There are." "Are they strong?" "Some are strong, some are not." "I want to go fight the strong ones!" "When you grow up, Daddy will take you." "Okay! Pinky promise!" Kashu made a pinky promise with his daughter, then looked at the other two children. Kabrun was discussing new inventions with Bulma, while Kassis sat quietly beside Tights, his silver eyes fixed on his father with a smile on his lips.
This was his home, everything he had to protect. "System, display status."

"Still 20% to go," Kashu muttered to himself. He put his daughter down and walked out of the banquet hall. Under the moonlight, New Vegeta City was brightly lit.
