Seriously, the Cell saga had too happy an ending. And it just made way for the garbage that was the Majin Buu saga (and eventually, Dragonball GT). I'll make a thread about why the Majin Buu saga sucked, but first I'm going to say how the Cell saga should have ended.
If you don't feel like reading the entire post, I'll wrap it up right here. Basically, all of the Z Fighters except Gohan should have died in the Cell Games. Gohan would have lost his arm during it and grows up to be like how he did in the History of Trunks. The next saga would focus on Gohan and Trunks fighting a new enemy, which would result in Goku coming back from heaven to fight with his son one last time. What we got in the Majin Buu saga was just a letdown.
In more detail:
OK, the Cell Juniors should have killed all of the Z Fighters except for Goku, Gohan, Vegeta and Trunks. Gohan would snap and turn Super Saiyan 2 (he was going to transform anyway even if Cell didn't kill Android 16). He kills the Cell Juniors and beats Cell to a pulp, causing it to spit Android 18 out. Cell prepares to self destruct, but Goku steps in and sacrifices himself by sending Cell to King Kai, killing everyone there in the process. Cell returns even more powerful and kills Future Trunks. Vegeta goes wild and attempts to kill Cell, but is defeated effortlessly. Cell prepares to kill Vegeta, but Gohan rushes in and takes the blow for him.
Gohan's arm wouldn't just get wounded. It'd be blown to bits, just like in the History of Trunks. Cell prepares to kill everyone along with the Earth, but Goku motivates Gohan from heaven to fight back. It'd make sense for Android 16 to give Gohan words of motivation at that moment too before deactivating, seeing as Cell wouldn't have killed him (or maybe, he'd still give his words to Gohan and get squashed by Cell as the Juniors were making their attack). Gohan fires his Kamehameha at Cell's, but Cell has the advantage until Vegeta fires a blast at it, distracting it. Gohan then snaps and brings out all of his power to kill Cell for good.
Vegeta would have used his entire life force with his blast on Cell. He bids his final words to Gohan before dying. Gohan goes to Kami's Lookout with Trunks and 18's bodies and has Dende heal Android 18 who departs right after. The Eternal Dragon is later summoned and everyone Cell killed is restored back to life, including Trunks and Android 17. Goku then tells Gohan that he and the other deceased Z Fighters are comfortable dead and leaves Earth in his hands. Trunks goes back to his timeline and kills the Androids and Cell there.
The next saga would take place years later, where Gohan grows up similarly to how he did in the History of Trunks, with a single arm and training his timeline's Trunks. A new enemy would appear and in the final battle, Goku would return from the Otherworld to help with his son one last time. I'll post another thread about this saga.
