The Curse of Cell

Authors Notice:

I do not own Dragonball Z, or any of the characters in this story unless otherwise stated. This is fanfiction, and it is a different story entirely to what happened in the series, however where this story picks up from is at the end of the Cell Saga, and so previous sagas have happened as normal, I am however changing the story. I hope you enjoy, and reviews are greatly appreciated

Chapter 1: The Recovery?

"Gohan! Gohan! Wake up Gohan!" The boy didn't wake; he laid face first in the crater he had created. He had beaten Cell, but it had almost killed him, unconscious and hardly likely to be woken up by normal means. His friend, the ever-loyal Krillin decided the best course of action would be to get him to the lookout and healed there. It would be for the best, a sensu bean and he would be fine surely.

It was not a long journey, a few minutes and they were there. The Z-Fighters cheered as he arrived, but found he was not in a fit state to enjoy applauds and happy faces. They surrounded him, all giving their own idea on what was best, but in the end it came down to most simple course of action, all he needed was a good solid rest with little to no disruptions.

Gohan was the last hope of earth, he was not the most confident of fighters, it took a lot of effort but finally he was finally able to destroy the evil monster. Cell the scourge of the world; the single greatest threat of their time was dead, by the immense power of Gohan.

The door creaked open as Trunks entered the room. He was worried about Gohan; he didn't want to speak to anybody. Chichi had cried earlier after Gohan told her to get out in a more offensive way, Vegeta had threatened to kill the little brat if he spoke to him like that again, and Tien had a ki ball thrown at him.

"Gohan… are you ok? Its me, Trunks."

Gohan rolled over and gave Trunks an annoyed stare, all he wanted to do was rest, why the hell couldn't people just leave him be. Honestly everyone was suddenly giving him respect, acting like he was Goku or something, they never did this before when he was hurt, so why now…

"Listen, Gohan, I don't know why you are doing this, we are only worried about you. I have to go back to my time soon, I just want to know if you're ok." Trunks looked worried as he looked into Gohan's eyes. 'What would it take for him to trust me?' thought Trunks.

"Trunks…" Gohan said with a faint smile.

"Yeah?" Trunks thought perhaps Gohan had come to his senses and wanted to be himself again.

"Fuck off…" Trunks' smile dropped suddenly and his head sunk down in disbelief. He sighed and got up already feeling it was futile, so many others had tried to get through to Gohan, and they were much better at persuading, he had no chance…

Trunks returned to the main room, everyone was there, apart from Goku who was still dead. They were discussing what to do with Gohan. Some said he would be fine eventually, it was just the shock. Others wanted him to be dealt with and made to return back to his old self right now, but none could agree, until Piccolo decided for them, he would try and persuade him, if that failed, he was to be left be.

The door once more opened, Gohan rolled over in his bed to see whom it was, and was partially glad it was Piccolo, one of the few people he currently could stand to see. He had no idea that the person he thought he could rely on not to keep bothering him, would in fact do what all the others were doing. He sat up as Piccolo started saying 'Were worried about you kid…' instantly getting the idea of it all.

He was sick of this, if he was such a hero, why couldn't he just be left alone; all he wanted was to be left alone!

"Piccolo! Not you too! I've had enough of this…"

Gohan begun to get to his feet off the bed, making Piccolo try and help the boy, but all he had in reply was his arm being swatted away. Gohan lifted up the window and Piccolo thought he just wanted air, but he shot out of there like a hawk, flying into the air, away from the lookout.

"Chichi! Gohan's flew off!" He shouted before he too flew out of the window after the kid who killed Cell only yesterday.
