WARRNING: Contains "strong" material in later chapters. As in Romance and blood and gore to the max. Becomes more R rated about half way through. It's not all drama though, there's lot's of humor, towards the beginning at least.

FYI:

The first couple chapter's to this story aren't really my best work, they aren't as well written and they aren't as long as later chaps., so the later they are the better they are. So if you don't like the first few, please continue reading on and it will get better, at least it should, if it doesn't, then......do what you feel like. Okay, onward.

Hi-ya! My name is Wiggle-Chicken! A special BIG, BIG thanks to Kerwin for helping me edit this and many other stories I have written. . Luv ya Kerwin! (You should all read her stuff, it's wonderful! )

My authors note is at the end so enjoy! I don't own DragonBall Z or its characters, so don't sew me. Also, this is just a prologue, so if you already know what happened at the end of the Cell games, feel free to skip over it.

"A.C." stands for "After Cell." Wow, you know what I just realized? That's like saying "After Christ", A.C. that's not right...oh well.

AC My End

Chapter 1

It's Over......

"He's gone." Gohan whispered. "And it's all my fault!" He told himself before

he, slowly, started to fall. Faster and faster he fell, down to the battle scared land below him, until he hit the turned up dirt with a thud. He grunted as he hit the earth. Dust flew up around him. At first it was painful, but after a few moments, it felt very good to lie on his back, allowing his muscles to stretch and relax after the intense battle with the horrible creature known as Cell.

"Cell." Gohan exhaled, feeling an anger rise within him from just saying the

name. He closed his eyes. 'If only I had defeated that, thing, when everyone

told me to. Then, Dad, you would still be here with me, with us!' he thought. He

looked back on the event that had just taken place, remembering the pain he felt surging through his entire body physically and emotionally.

'Dad you told me to "Use the pain of loss." Unless I was going mad, like Cell said, and I was just thinking that you were talking to me form heaven, or wherever you are. I did it Dad, just as you told me to. I understand; I took your words and realized what I had to do. The Nightmares gone Dad, Cell, is no more......Thank you Dad......for it all......' His thoughts were stuck on his Father. He still couldn't believe that he was gone for ever, dead.

'Dad didn't seem very upset about being dead, but I still feel-no, I 'am' responsible, it 'is' my fault!' He felt a warm tear run down, off of his burning face and onto the hot ground that he laid upon. 'Wait, I just 'beat' Cell. I just 'BEAT' CELL!' He thought, as a wide smile grew upon his face. He began to laugh, though it sounded more like a cackle. His mouth and throat were dry and sore having been filled with nothing besides sand and burning hot air all day. 'I DID IT! I CAN'T BELIEVE 'I' DID IT! I BEAT CELL!' He opened his battle weary eyes to see what he thought was an eclipse blocking the Sun's light. But, it was only Krillen's bald head above Gohan's face. Krillen said something to Gohan, or at least, that's what he thought he was trying to do. He was 'so' out of it. Gohan couldn't really make out what Krillen was saying, but if he knew, he probably wouldn't have answered anyway. He could barely talk, all he could do was laugh, so that's what he did.

Gohan stopped laughing and he suddenly felt someone touch his bare, battl scared, skin. Gohan looked over at what looked like, through his eyes, and what was,

Yamcha.

"I gotcha little buddy." Yamcha told him as he scooped him into his arms. This time Gohan was able to make out what was being said to him, but the only thing he said in return was.

"S-sorry...for the mess." With that, he gave out a slight whimper, and fell unconscious.

(Wiggle-Chicken Note:)

What do ya think? I know its kind-a boring since it's basically a re-write of

the episode where Gohan defeated Cell. There are slight differences though,

barley. Like I said though, this is a prologue for people who haven't seen this episode, or the Cell saga. It may sound stupid to many of you, but until last year, 2003, I hadn't seen the end of the Cell saga. It really helped me when people gave me little prologues about

the episodes to their stories. I did have an idea for this story, but I forgot

it, so give me ideas. Ya see, I'm kind-a like the fish, Dory, from "Finding Nemo". I kind-a suffer from short term memory loss , or at least my friends say I do.
