AN: The training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber gave 3 years in a day and Gohan and Vegeta went in twice. First Gohan and Goku went in then Vegeta and Trunks went in then Gohan and Vegeta. I did this because Gohan needs to be older in this fic and so Gohan could learn things about Saiyan history. Now, on with the fic! Luna

The Cell Games
After watching his father teleport away with Cell Gohan falls to the ground. Slamming his fist on the ground in anger, two small craters form from the sheer force behind the blows. As Cell suddenly reappears, Gohan senses his energy signature and looks up. When he sees Cell his heart is filled with rage. As he stares up at Cell from his position on the ground, his power rapidly rises in reaction to the immense anger he is feeling. Finally the power seems to reach a peak as Gohan stands and screams his rage to the heavens. His hair, which is currently swaying in the great tempest that is his battle aura, suddenly stops and stands still. His hair lowers and lengthens to reach his ankles and his eyebrows and battle aura disappear.
Gohan lowers his head from the sky and looks at Cell, eyes not full of anger or pain, just purpose. Ki sensitive beings all over the universe sense Gohan's power. In the demon realm, Dabura's power scanner shatters. The Supreme Kai and Kibito both stop their search for Babidi when they sense a power much greater than that of Majin Buu (fat form). (Gohan at SSJ was 30,000,000. At SSJ2 he was 300,000,000. So as SSJ3 he would be around 3,000,000,000.) The Nameks pause in the middle of their ceremony of enhancing the dragon balls. In Otherworld, King Kai gets a headache. Goku and Vegeta (Goku in Otherworld obviously) both stand shocked at the sheer power Gohan is emitting. But on earth there is one person more shocked than anyone else.
Cell's eyes widen in fear as he senses Gohan's power level. Realizing that the boy has once again ascended, he steps back from shock. Gohan lowers his hands to his side. "Ka..." He cups them together. "Me..." He pulls his hands farther back as a small white ball begins to form. "Ha..." His aura comes out and the ball grows slightly larger. "Me..." Thrusting his hands forward at the still shocked Cell his battle aura suddenly flares full force, flickering wildly. "Ha!" At the last moment Cell realizes he should run. However it is too late for the so-called perfect being because the famous turtle wave is over half a mile in diameter. With his entire body caught in the blast, Cell doesn't stand a chance. His body is completely disintegrated in the beam. Not one atom, let alone a compete cell, remains for him to regenerate from.
Deep in the outer reaches of space in another dimension...
'That power... It's greater than anything I've felt before! I must have it!'
The Cell Games
As Piccolo goes to grab Gohan and take him to the lookout a multicolored disk appears under his still form. Before anyone can do anything Gohan and the disk fade from existence.
Deep in the outer reaches of space in the other dimension...
'How could he have fallen off the disk? I don't believe this! He could be anywhere in the universe! For all I know he could be dead in space. My only hope is if he landed on a hospitable planet. If he is and he unleashes his power he's mine!'
On Kami's lookout...
Piccolo walks up to the dragon balls. "Shenron! We wish for you to bring back all those killed by Cell and they androids and for any damage they did to be restored!"
Shenron's eyes glow a deep red before he speaks. "Your wish is granted. Name your second wish."
Piccolo wastes no time. "We wish for Gohan to be returned from wherever he is!"
Shenron is silent for a moment before he finally speaks. "I am unable to grant your wish. The one you call Gohan is beyond the wish of any dragon. Even if you used all three of the different sets of dragon balls in existence working together we would not be able to reach him. He is in a completely different dimension and even the Supreme Kai himself would only be able to speak to him, for while he has the ability to travel to other dimensions for a short time, he cannot take anyone between dimensions. I could send one of you to him if you had both wishes available, but I could never get neither Gohan nor the one I sent to him back in this dimension."
Piccolo looks up at the dragon. Then I have no other wishes. Since I only used one wish your power should return to full in 6 months instead of a full year correct?"
The dragon looks down at its creator. "That is correct."
Piccolo nods. "Good. In six months time I will summon you and you are to send me to him."
The dragon's eyes glow red. "Very well." In a bright flash of lightning, he returns to his realm and the dragon balls remain on the ground. (AN: I know that after using the dragon balls they scatter all over the world, but they always used all of the wishes. I think that since only one wish was used and also since it was Shenron's creator that used it, the dragon balls will stay at their creation point. Hence, they remain at the lookout.)
Krillen is the first to speak. "But what about bringing Goku back?"
Piccolo snorts in derision. "Don't you remember? Earth's dragon balls can't bring him back. We'll have to go to Namek and use theirs."
Suddenly Goku's voice echoes in the sky. "Hey don't I get a say in this?" (I don't know the exact dialogue, but basically everything goes as it is in the show only Goku asks about Gohan, finds out he is in another dimension, and decides to stay not only so he can train, but so he can see if he can get the Kais to help.)
Piccolo looks around at everyone. "Bulma, I suggest you get busy making capsules of everything you can. He had a capsule of CC itself, but anything new you invent I want a capsule of to give him when I leave. That includes upgrades to the GR. Chi-Chi, I think you should start capsulizing food for him. As long as it's in a capsule it'll be perfectly preserved no matter how old it is. I'm sure Gohan would appreciate some of your food when I visit him in six months. Vegeta, like it or not you owe Gohan. I'd appreciate it if you did something to get the Supreme Kai's attention. He may be able to find a way to get me and Gohan back."
Vegeta tilts his head upward in a sign of acceptance. "Hmph. The brat has become a man. Gohan is a true Saiyan unlike his father. I would already do everything in my power to get him back." Everyone looks at Vegeta in surprise but he simply grunts. "Besides, how can I ever defeat him if he's not here to fight?"
At this everyone shakes their heads. For a moment they'd actually believed that Vegeta had changed, but he only wanted to defeat Gohan in battle so he could be the best. Just like with Kakarott. Flying off, everyone leaves the lookout placing the worst responsibility of all on Krillen's shoulders. Telling Chi-Chi about Goku and Gohan.
The Cherry Hill Temple
Rei's grandfather is walking the temple grounds humming to himself, and thinking about the huge amount of power he felt when he met the Sailor Senshi (Cough yeah right Cough). He is shocked when he comes across the body of a teen on the back porch. The boy is battered and bruised as if he'd been jumped by a gang and looks as if he barely escaped with his life. Shouting for Rei to help him they bring the body inside where they can tend to his wounds.
"What do you think happened to him grandfather? He looks like he got hit by a truck!" the raven-haired beauty says..
"I'm not sure Rei. We'll find out when he wakes up. With his injuries he shouldn't be waking up any sooner than three days at the least not to mention how long he's going to have to be in bed before he is well enough to move." Shaking his head at the cruelty of the world we live in, he motions for Rei to tilt the boy's head back so he can force feed him some herbal mixtures. After taking giving the boy his most powerful healing draught he calls the hospital to report the boy so that anyone looking for him knows where to find him. He gives them a description and of the boy and his condition as well as telling them about the vibes he got from him. Since the authorities know all about the Sailor Senshi and their enemies, they know that the best place for him to be is at the temple since they can cleanse him once he wakes up and his wounds are healed. Also being in the holy place will keep the energy dormant so it won't take him over and cause him to change into a monster himself. Once they have everything in the computer he hangs up. (Japan recognizes his herbal healing as one of the few that actually work. His methods are secret, passed down only to the people who become monks or priestesses at the temple. However, he also studied to become a doctor before becoming a monk so the trust him to tell them when someone needs an operation. Whenever someone dies it's not because he messed up as his knowledge of herbs create medicines far stronger than any the current medicine can produce. Of course in the DBZ dimension Bulma's re-creation of regen tanks are better than herbs but they don't have those here...)
While Gramps was on the phone working out the particulars with the hospital Rei bandages Gohan's many wounds and tries to tell just how much nega- energy is inside him. She gasps and takes a reflexive step back at the feel of the energy in him. With the amount of energy in his body, he should be dead! Only one of the negaverse's monsters or generals should be able to survive with that much energy inside them! For an instant she wonders if he is an enemy, but quickly disregards the notion since if he was a negaverse general he wouldn't be beat up like this since the only ones who can damage the negaverse are the scouts and there haven't been any monsters since Chaos. Of course the purity she senses from his heart helps too. But even that causes her confusion. She has never met someone with a heart as pure as Gohan's. Not even when the heartsnachers where there did she sense one. His heart practically sings with the holy aura of the temple. The energy radiating from his heart and the Great Fire in the main room are in perfect synchronization. Even more disturbing is the fact that his energy fluctuation didn't change to the fire's, the fire's changed to his! Normally her heart changes to the fire's because it is purer than her heart. No one should have a heart pure enough to influence the holy flame. Deciding that he needs to be watched closely, she notifies the other senshi on her communicator and tells them to come over tomorrow. Heading too her room to go to sleep she stops to say goodnight to Gramps.
"Goodnight Rei." he replies. "Just remember to give him a cup of that medicine every day before you leave for school for the next two weeks. He should be awake around then. I'll handle it on weekends. Then once his wounds are healed we can work on purifying him. That energy was blacker than any I've ever sensed."
Nodding Rei goes to her room and gets in the bed. 'I wonder what kind of readings Ami will get on him tomorrow. It's a good thing that tomorrow is Saturday. We've got the whole day to study him and for me to check the Great Fire to find out who sent these new enemies.'
