Well, the story could take a very different turn. Gohan was a symbol of hope for a new generation of fighters. His death would shatter that hope. The remaining Z - Fighters would have to reevaluate their strategies and training methods. Maybe they would start to focus more on group attacks rather than relying on individual powerhouses like Gohan. And the fanfiction could explore how the other characters grow and change in the face of this great loss. They might also seek new allies or ways to resurrect Gohan, which could lead to all kinds of new adventures and challenges.
In this fanfiction, if Gohan dies in the Cell Games, perhaps the story could focus on how the other characters cope with the loss. For example, Chi - Chi could become a more hardened character, vowing revenge on Cell or any other threats. Piccolo might take on a more fatherly role to Goten, trying to train him to be as strong as Gohan was. And the Earth might be in a state of mourning, which could attract new villains who see it as a time of weakness.
It could be that a new threat emerges. Maybe another android, stronger than Cell, was observing the fight and decides to take advantage of the chaos after Gohan's death. This new android could become the main antagonist as it poses a greater danger to the remaining fighters.
The story could progress with a darker tone. There would be a lot of mourning at first. Then, the remaining characters might start to look for ways to prevent future threats more aggressively. For example, Bulma could use her scientific skills to develop new weapons or defenses.
One possibility in the 'Gohan Trains After Cell Games' fanfiction is that Gohan is training not just for physical strength but also for mental strength. He has seen the horrors of the Cell Games and realizes that a strong mind is as important as a strong body. So he might be doing meditation - like training, learning to control his emotions better in battle. He could also be training to sense ki more effectively, which would give him an edge in combat against stronger opponents in the future.
It could be that she has different expectations for Gohan's future now. After seeing how powerful he is, she might be worried about him being constantly involved in battles and is frustrated, which leads to her abusing him in the fanfic.
Well, one possibility is that Gohan might go into a period of self - discovery. After such a huge battle, he's likely to question his role in the world. Maybe he'll travel to find other powerful fighters and train with them. Another thing could be that he'll try to live a normal life for a while, like going back to school, but find it difficult because of his new - found power and the memories of the Cell Games.
Perhaps Gohan sacrifices himself to save the other Z - fighters. He might choose to take on Cell's full - power attack that was meant for all of them, and in the process, he loses his life. In the fanfiction, it could also be that Cell has some sort of hidden power - up that catches Gohan off - guard and leads to his death.
Well, in this fanfiction, Gohan and Videl could have a really intense moment. Maybe Gohan shows off his amazing power during the Cell Games in a way that makes Videl fall for him even more. She might be in awe of his strength and determination.
He could meet an old master from the past who has some unique training methods. This master might teach Gohan some long - forgotten Saiyan techniques.
If Gohan dies in the Cell Games in fanfiction, Goku and Chi - Chi's relationship would be severely strained. Goku might blame himself for not being able to protect their son, and Chi - Chi would be heartbroken and potentially angry at Goku. Vegeta's relationship with Goku could also change. He might respect Goku more for his pain, or he could become more competitive, vowing to never let his own family be in such a position.
