One possible interesting plot could be Gohan unlocking a new, unexpected power level during the Cell Games. For example, instead of just going Super Saiyan 2, he could access a form that combines the power of both Goku and his own latent abilities. This new form could have unique characteristics like different colored ki blasts or enhanced speed and strength that not only surprises Cell but also gives Gohan a whole new perspective on his power.
In a 'Goku Gohan Cell Games fanfic', an interesting plot could be that Cell discovers a hidden weakness in Goku and Gohan's bond. He tries to use this to his advantage by creating illusions or psychological attacks. Gohan has to not only fight Cell physically but also has to overcome these mental challenges. This could lead to some deep character development for Gohan as he struggles to maintain his focus and connection with Goku while facing a powerful enemy.
Perhaps a rogue Saiyan from another part of the universe. This Saiyan has heard about the Super Saiyan powers on Earth and wants to prove his superiority. He shows up at the Cell Games and challenges Goku and Gohan. He has a different fighting style, more brutal and less honorable than the Saiyans on Earth. His presence adds a new layer of conflict as Goku and Gohan have to decide whether to fight him on his terms or uphold their own values.
A great plot point could be Goku teaming up with an unexpected ally during the Cell Games. For example, an old enemy who realizes that Cell is a greater threat. They could combine their powers in a unique way to take on Cell.
One interesting concept could be new power - ups for Goku. Maybe he discovers a unique form during the Cell Games in the fanfic.
One possible fanfic could be about Goku's intense training before the Cell Games. He might be shown pushing his limits in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, trying out new techniques and forms to defeat Cell. Maybe he discovers a new power level that no one, including himself, expected.
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.
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.
One idea could be to focus on Gohan's internal struggle during the Cell Games. Maybe he's doubting his abilities even more than shown in the original, and it's through his friends' and family's words of encouragement that he finally finds his resolve.
Well, Goku is surely one of the main characters as it's related to the Cell Games. He is the central figure in the fight against Cell.
One idea could be that Cell somehow gets a second chance at life and instead of being a villain, he tries to team up with Goku. They could go on adventures together across different universes, facing new threats and learning from each other. Goku could teach Cell about the value of protecting the innocent, and Cell could show Goku some of his scientific knowledge about power levels and energy manipulation.
Well, a plot could involve Gohan and Goku getting trapped in a time - loop. They keep reliving the same day over and over, and each time they try different strategies to break free. This would give them a chance to have deep conversations about their lives, their hopes, and their fears. Or perhaps a story where Goku is injured and Gohan has to take on the role of protecting the Earth alone for a while, with Goku guiding him from the sidelines. Also, a fanfic where they both enter a tournament in an alternate universe where the rules are very different from what they're used to could be interesting.
