Goku quickly went over to check and then sighed, saying, "It's nothing, just a little exhausted and fainted. He should be fine after some rest."
Upon hearing Goku's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again.
Goku then said, "Let's go back to the Temple of the Gods. I'll go to Korin's place to get some Senzu Beans to wake up John Doe."
Everyone gathered around, and Goku used Instant Transmission to take them all back to the Temple of the Gods.
After Goku and the others left, the entire battlefield fell silent. A gust of wind blew, stirring up the dust on the ground.
Suddenly, a hand emerged from under a small mound of dirt, and Satan struggled to crawl out from under the pile.
It turned out that when Android 16 self-destructed, the powerful shockwave knocked out Satan, the TV host, and the cameraman, burying them all in the dirt.
Fortunately, they were knocked out, which allowed them to survive John Doe's rampage.
Satan didn't crawl out of the dirt until the battle was completely over.
With Satan's help, the host and cameraman also crawled out of the dirt.
Looking at the devastated battlefield and the missing Satan and John Doe, the host excitedly asked Satan, "Mr. Satan, was it you? Did you defeat Cell?"
Satan now knew that John Doe and the others were truly powerful, not just some trick of the eye. But these ordinary people didn't know that, and now they were all gone, so he could say whatever he wanted.
Satan immediately flashed his signature smile and laughed, saying into the host's microphone, "That's right, I destroyed Cell. I am the world champion."
The host, having received confirmation from Satan, excitedly screamed, "Mr. Satan, you're so amazing! Unfortunately, our camera is broken, and we can't show your heroic image to the world's audience."
"But it doesn't matter. We'll go back now, and I'll make sure our TV station interviews you properly."
The host released a car from a capsule, and they returned to the city with Satan and the cameraman.
The whole world was in a frenzy over Mr. Satan.
Back at the Temple of the Gods, Goku got some Senzu Beans from Korin and distributed them to everyone. After all, they had used up a lot of energy fighting against Cell Jr.
John Doe also woke up after Goku fed him a Senzu Bean.
After waking up, John Doe immediately looked for Android 18. With everyone's guidance, he found Android 18 lying on a stretcher in the Temple of the Gods.
Android 18 lay quietly on the stretcher with her eyes closed. John Doe stared at her, speechless.
Goku said, "Don't worry, John Doe. We still have the Dragon Balls. Dende has modified the Dragon Balls on Earth, and after a hundred days or so, we can use the Dragon Balls to make a wish again. We'll bring Android 18 back to life as soon as possible."
John Doe nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just feel a bit guilty. We were stronger than Cell at the beginning, but we let him make a comeback and evolve into his perfect form. It's my fault."
"If I had trained harder, Android 18 wouldn't have died."
Goku said, "It's okay, John Doe. Don't blame yourself too much. It's not just your fault. It's also mine and Vegeta's fault for slacking off these past few years."
Vegeta, who was standing nearby, heard Goku's words and became unhappy. He snorted and angrily walked out of the Temple of the Gods.
Goku rubbed the back of his head in confusion, not understanding why Vegeta was angry again.
At this moment, John Doe reminded him, "Vegeta hasn't broken through to Super Saiyan 2 yet, so he might feel like you were insulting him."
After hearing John Doe's words, Goku quickly went out to explain to Vegeta that he didn't mean to insult him.
But Vegeta became even angrier after Goku's explanation.
Fortunately, Bulma arrived at the Temple of the Gods by plane just in time.
Bulma jumped out of the plane and immediately went to Future Trunks, examining him closely to see if he was injured.
Krillin laughed and said, "Bulma, it's okay. Trunks isn't hurt. He's just grown taller and his hair has grown longer."
Bulma ignored Krillin and hugged Future Trunks, saying happily, "You really worried me, but I'm glad you're okay."
Future Trunks turned red with embarrassment as Bulma hugged him, and he mumbled, "Mom, I'm fine. Shouldn't you let go of me?"
Bulma said unhappily, "What are you saying? Don't think that just because you're older, you can rebel against me. I'm still your mother."
Future Trunks smiled bitterly and said, "Of course, Mom. I'm just not used to it."
Bulma didn't insist and just smiled at Future Trunks.
At this moment, John Doe walked over and asked Bulma, "Bulma, can you help me prepare a human cold storage box?"
Bulma was taken aback and asked, "Who died?" She looked around at everyone, but no one seemed to be missing.
John Doe said, "It's Android 18."
"Android 18? I never would have guessed it was her," Bulma replied. "Don't worry, John Doe. We have the Dragon Balls, and she will be resurrected."
John Doe nodded to indicate that he understood.
The next day, after preserving Android 18, everyone gathered at Bulma's house to bid farewell to Future Trunks.
Future Trunks first said goodbye to everyone and soon came to John Doe's side. He said, "Uncle John Doe, goodbye. When Android 18 is resurrected, please say hello to her for me."
"Sure. You be careful too. With your current strength, you shouldn't have any problems dealing with Future Android 17, Future Android 18, and Cell."
"After you eliminate them, don't slack off. Keep training hard because Cell won't be the final enemy. In the future, only you can protect the Earth."
Future Trunks nodded and said, "Don't worry, Uncle John Doe. I'll keep training hard."
Finally, Future Trunks came to Bulma's side to say goodbye. Gohan took out a capsule and handed it to Bulma, saying, "Mom, this is the time machine that Cell was driving before. I'm giving it to you now."
"Okay." Bulma happily took the old time machine and then hugged her son to say goodbye. She said, "After you go back, say hello to my future self for me. Tell her that she raised a son that I'm very proud of."
Future Trunks nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. But please take care of yourself too. I hope we'll have a chance to meet again."
The last one was Vegeta, but unfortunately, he wasn't the Vegeta from the future who could express his emotions. He didn't go up to Future Trunks to speak, and in the end, he just stood under a tree and exchanged a glance with Future Trunks from a distance.
After saying goodbye, Future Trunks boarded the time machine and disappeared into the sky above Bulma's house.
