DragonBall-Z: Post Cell

Prologue

"Aw mum!" Gohan looked at Chi-chi as he complained, unhappy about the fact he was going to school.

"It'll be good for your education dear, now go upstairs and get your father before food gets cold." Chi-chi just shrugged it off as she put food on the table.

"DID I JUST HEAR FOOD?" came Goku's loud voice from upstairs

"No need mom, he's on his way." Within seconds his father, Son-Goku was sat at the table ready for food. Gohan quickly ate his food and stood up.

"Goin' somewhere Gohan?" asked Goku

"Yes he his Goku, your son is going to school!" Chi-chi said in a very proud voice.

"Wow! School!" exclaimed Goku in awe "have fun son!"

Gohan sighed. This was going to be a long day; Satan City was at least 10 miles out the way. He quickly powered up to super saiyan and took off at super speed.

Chapter 1: First Day at School, Lost Father and a Little Brother to Boot

When Gohan got to Satan City he could hear a commotion down below, he decided to keep his super saiyan form so no one would recognise him. He dropped down and landed on a truck, to see that there were robbers there. They all looked at him and laughed.

"Hey kid!" the one called "Get out of here before you get hurt!"

"Heh, he ain't moving Boss!" a second one called.

"Then I'll make him!" the 'boss' turned and shot his machine gun at Gohan. Quickly, Gohan caught all but one of the bullets, which hit him in the forehead. The robbers looked at the boy in front of them, scared. Gohan dropped the bullets one by one. The robbers then screamed in shock.

"Get in the car!" the driver shouted at the others. The car drove off, Gohan allowed them three seconds before he shot off after them. Within a single second he was in front of them, his fist through the engine. He put his foot on the front bumper and pushed it away. Once the people moved out the way, the car crashed. The thieves returned the money and scampered off; everyone thanked Gohan and asked his name. Gohan didn't like the popularity and flew away; he looked around and saw a young girl roughly his age glaring at him.

Scared he might have been caught, he flew out of sight and powered down to his normal form. Outside the tall school building, he took in the view, about a rough guess of 200 foot tall; he looked about half way up. There was an orange star on a white circle with the words 'Orange Star High School' on it. Gohan walked in and a woman was stood next to him straight away.

"Hello, young sir, how may I help you today?" she asked him.

"Uh… hello, my name is Son Gohan? I'm a new student here.

"Oh yes, I have your timetable here, here you go." The woman gave Gohan his timetable and turned back to him, "You're in the same class as Videl here," she said, Gohan turned around and his smile quickly faded, there was the girl who saw him earlier before he flew off, he automatically bowed to her as a martial artist. She glared at him again.

"Just because I'm the daughter of Mr. Satan, doesn't mean you need to show me respect like he demands." Videl said.

"I-I'm sorry Videl, it's just my usual formalities when I'm introduced to someone, I didn't know you're Mr. Satan's daughter." Gohan quickly stuttered. She narrowed her eyes.

"No problem, Gohan is it?" she asked, holding her hand out, she had a smile on her face and she had un-narrowed her eyes.

"Yes, it is." He shook her hand and nodded.

"Then follow me, we have English first." She grabbed his arm and dragged him along.

When they got to the classroom, the teacher just looked at Gohan with a dumbfound look, he looked at his register and looked at the class then looked at Gohan.

"Ah, you're Gohan Son, are you?" he finally asked

"Yes sir," said Gohan, bowing.

"Gohan here," the teacher was saying "scored a perfect score in the entry exams, now, Gohan, introduce yourself to the class."

"Hi guys, my name is Gohan, I like to read books, go camping," he ignored the whispers of 'nerd' and 'geek' as he finished speaking, "and I'm also a martial artist, I go sparring with my father and his friends." All the voices prejudging him stopped as they looked at him in shock.

"Thank you, you may now take a seat, Mr. Son."

"Yes sir."

"You can sit on the end by Erasa." he said to the new student, a blonde girl stood up and waved at Gohan, he quickly took the steps up and sat down next to her.

"Now, to begin the class."

The day went by very slowly, but when he looked at his timetable, he saw that he had P.E today, and he wasn't looking forward to it. He couldn't play any type of sport without showing off his strength.

When it got to it, Gohan realised that he was playing baseball. They were put into teams, and he was put onto Videl's team, Erasa was on Sharpener's team, Sharpener was another one of Videl's and Erasa's friends. Videl was up to bat first, Sharpener threw a quick ball and it narrowly missed her, the teacher called the first strike. Sharpener threw again and this time, Videl hit. She ran to third base, and Gohan was up to hit next. Sighing heavily, Gohan took the bat. I'll get this little punk, Sharpener thought, he threw a super fast ball, and Gohan took a light swing and hit it, he stood there, dumbfound at his own power as it quickly flew out of sight. Everyone looked at Gohan and Sharpener even shouted 'Monster!' at him.

It didn't take word long to travel around, there was talk of the mysterious 'golden fighter' who stopped the robbers that morning, and Gohan's super strength in P.E that afternoon. Videl received a phone call from her wristwatch and took off in her jet plane, another police call for her, Gohan chuckled to himself. Then his phone started ringing.

"Y-hello, Gohan here!" he answered into the phone.

"Brat, get over here to Capsule Corp. now!" the strict voice on the other end ordered.

"Aw Vegeta! I'm in school!"

"And your mother is dying! Your pathetic excuse of a father, Kakarot is nowhere to be found! His Ki has disappeared and your mother is giving birth!" Vegeta ordered again "get here now!"

"Uh, sir?" Gohan asked Mr. Jones, who looked up "I need to go."

"And what could be more important than school right now Mr. Son?"

"Well, my mother is dying from childbirth, and my father has disappeared off the face of the planet. He can't be found by his friends."

"Well, off you go then!"

"Aww, does Gohan have to lose his parents now?" called Sharpener "poor kid!" Gohan turned and grabbed Sharpener by the throat

"JUST SHUT UP, OKAY?!" Gohan shouted, Sparks of electricity flying, then he powered up to super saiyan 2, he dropped the blonde haired boy in front of him and kicked him in the gut before smashing the window and flying off.

"Sharpener!" Shouted Videl "how insensitive of you! I've lost my mother as well, it's not nice!"

"Oh yeah… sorry Videl, I forgot…" Sharpener apologized, coughing in pain, clenching his stomach.

Gohan was flying to Capsule Corp. at top speed, he didn't even stop, and he flew straight through the window and landed next to Chi-chi. She had a small child in her arms; he looked the spitting image of Goku.

"Mother!" he called, Chi-chi opened her eyes weakly, and looked at her eldest son.

"Gohan… I'm sorry, your father flew off and I'm here dying…" she coughed "but I'm proud of you son, here, he's your little brother, his name is Goten, look after… him…" Chi-chi took her last breath and tears flooded Gohan's eyes, he looked down at his brother, Goten was sleeping soundly. He looked back at his still mother.

"I will, mother, I promise." Bulma came to his side.

"Gohan… do you want me to look after Goten for you?" she asked him, Gohan just shook his head.

"No thanks Bulma, I'll look after him, you have enough on your hands with Trunks as it is…" He looked up into the faces of the others, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, Piccolo, and Vegeta. "Sorry guys, but thank you…" Gohan turned around and held tightly onto his brother. "Bulma... tomorrow, phone Orange Star High School, and tell them that Son Gohan has had some family problems and isn't coming to school for a while."

"Got it!" Bulma replied.
