So just before I start, this is a story that I had already started to write but I noticed a few plot holes and wanted to change some things around, so I made another version. The old one is still on my profile if you want to read it. Also to any of my returning readers I am DigimonNovelist I just changed my name to Kang of Dragons because I like it more. I hope you enjoy it.
Chapter 1: Shocking Announcement!
Gohan was sitting in his room, staring incoherently at a page of university level calculus. He couldn't focus on the work in front of him, his mind was on other, more important things. He stood up and pushed his desk against the wall, breaking the large oak desk and leaving a large hole in the wall. His pens scattered around the room, a few of them breaking and leaving blue ink splotches on the ground.
"DAMMIT!" Gohan screamed, thinking back to three months ago.
FLASHBACK
Gohan stood facing Cell, the tall green monster was powering up, causing the entire planet to shake.
When Cell was done, there was a golden aura around him, crackling with electricity. "So kid, are you impressed by what you see?" Cell asked.
"Is that all you got?" Gohan responded, not even slightly fazed by the impressive show of power that the bio-android had displayed, he stared down Cell, looking right into the eyes of the monster.
Gohan's cockiness caused Cell to lose his cool and rush towards the boy, landing a punch and causing Gohan's head to turn to the side. Gohan looked up at Cell, unimpressed by the hit, the demi-Saiyan turned his body and threw his left fist into Cell's stomach.
Cell took a few steps back ,choking. Out of anger Cell attempted to strike Gohan once again, but the demi-Saiyan landed a strong uppercut to the android's chin, sending him wheeling backwards. Cell struggled to stand up, getting up twice but falling down each time. Finally he managed to get up, spitting up green bile as he did, "Th… this can't be!" Cell exclaimed, looking at Gohan, who was standing there, "H… he only had two punches that made contact, so why am I so… so damaged?" Cell asked himself. Cell struggled towards Gohan, "You're as foolish as your father." He growled, "It's time for you to learn some respect!" Cell growled once again, but Gohan wasn't paying attention, causing Cell's anger to rise even more, causing the android to attempt to kick Gohan, but the boy merely raised his arm and blocked it, effortlessly.
Again and again, Cell tried the same kick over and over again, "NOW FIGHT ME!" Cell roared, once again kicking at Gohan, who grabbed his leg.
"HAAAAAAAAAA!" Gohan yelled, powering up his own kick, "Hu-ah!" He yelled as he jumped and kicked Cell in the face, sending the android flying.
"I will not be humiliated by a child." Cell said, standing up, "This has gone far enough, I am tired of playing these games!" Cell said, 'This can't be happening, I am complete, it is impossible for a Saiyan child to defeat me, I am the ultimate fighter, I have no equal, but, somehow this one is different. Very well, if I must prove myself once again then so be it but this will be the last time!' Cell thought as Gohan calmly walked towards him. "Hrrrrr, hrrr, hrr-AGHHHHHH!" Cell Screamed, forming a large, rotating disc of yellow energy in either hand, Gohan kept walking towards him, "Destructooo DISC!" Cell screamed, throwing both of the discs at Gohan, who merely pushed his fists into them, stopping them dead in their tracks. He powered up and the discs shattered.
"You little fool, I will show you what true power is!" Cell yelled, flying upwards, he put two fingers to his head and then flung them at Gohan, Special Beam Cannon!" He yelled, shooting a purple beam at Gohan, "Now what will you do?" Cell laughed at the beam flew at Gohan.
"Watch and learn." Gohan responded, backhanding the beam away, causing an explosion in the atmosphere that lit up the planet.
"Curse you, Rapid Fire!" Cell yelled, shooting hundreds of small Ki blasts at Gohan, who merely stood there as they bounced off of him, "What, he's still standing." Cell exclaimed, 'But, those blasts went right through him, it's impossible!'
"What are you so afraid of Cell, isn't this what you wanted?" Gohan asked, slowly walking towards the bio-android, who was visibly shaking, "I warned you, I told you what would happen if you pushed me too far." Gohan growled, "But you didn't listen, you forced me to awaken my hidden power and now that you've seen it, you are afraid, because you know that I'm going to destroy you!" Gohan's voice was still calm.
Cell took off, flying into the air, "Kaaa-meeee" Cell chanted, cupping his hands at his side, "Haaa-meee" A huge blue orb of Ki formed at his side, filling the horizon, "Hrahaha, let's see you stop this!" Cell laughed, "I'm going to blow up the Earth and there's nothing you can do!"
"Gohan get outta there, he's gonna do it!" Krillin yelled from the sideline, but Gohan just looked at the blue sky.
"HAAA!" Cell screamed, shooting the Kamehameha towards the ground.
"NOOOOOO!" Goku shouted.
"Kaaa-mee-haa-mee!" Gohan chanted, cupping his hands at his side, "HAAA!" He screamed, firing his own Kamehameha at Cell's blast, pushing the larger blast back up towards Cell.
"NO!" Cell shouted as he saw his own attack fly back at him, he attempted to stop it, but Gohan then pushed a bit more Ki into it, "I can't stop it!" Cell shouted as the blast overtook him.
When the dust had cleared, Cell's body was nearly destroyed, he was bleeding purple blood from all over, and his left arm and leg were missing, Gohan smirked.
"GOHAN!" Goku yelled, "you've got to take Cell out now before he can regenerate!"
"Take him down now?" Gohan asked, looking at his father, he sighed, "No I think I'll wait. I'm going to let him suffer for a little while." Gohan looked back at Cell, smiling.
Goku was shocked, "Wait? No Gohan." He said.
"He's running out of time Goku." Piccolo said.
"Yea." Goku looked up at Cell, who was trying to regenerate, "Gohan listen to me, you've got to get him, do it now!" Goku yelled. Gohan looked at Goku with a cocky smirk on his face, "We all know you've got the power! It's time to use it!" Goku yelled, trying to reason with his son.
Cell regenerated an arm, the new limb popping out of the stump of his left arm in a spray of green liquid, Cell's horns regenerated at the same time, and with a shout his leg also regenerated, "I am whole!" Cell said, panting, "You wretched child, how dare you." Cell looked at Gohan, "HOW DARE YOU!" The bio-android shouted at the top of his lungs, he then screamed once again, bulking up to nearly twice his original size, he landed in front of Gohan, "Boy you won't defeat me, a worthless Saiyan like you can't compete with me I am invincible, and now I will MAKE YOU PAY!" Cell shouted, slamming his arm into the space where Gohan was moments ago, shattering the ground.
Gohan landed a few feet away, Cell charged him with a few punches, which Gohan easily evaded, Gohan flew at Cell and smashed him in the face with a powerful kick.
When the two landed, Cell said, "You're not a boy, you're a monster." Gohan flew at Cell and landed another powerful kick, this time right in his stomach, leaving Cell with white liquid seeping from his mouth, the bio-android fell over and Gohan landed in front of hi, "What have you d… done to me?" Cell asked, looking at Gohan's smirking face.
Gohan then watched as something began coming up Cell's throat, with the android desperately trying to keep it in, but he couldn't, he threw up a huge glob of white liquid and inside of it was #18, unconscious inside of the goop, "I'll get you for this!" Cell managed to refrain from throwing up enough to say. He then fell to the floor and grabbed #18, but screamed in agony as he began changing back into his Second Form.
"BOYYY!" Cell shouted, stepping towards Gohan, "You little insect, you made a fool of me!" He shouted at Gohan, Cell screamed and attempted to hit Gohan, but the demi-Saiyan moved out of the way and rushed, tackling Cell to the ground.
"Gohan finish him off now!" Piccolo shouted. Gohan began walking slowly towards Cell.
"Stay away from me you monster!" Cell shouted, stepping back and falling into a large hole, grabbing onto the edge, Gohan stepped on his hand.
"Give up, or fall." He warned.
"Noo!" Cell shouted as Gohan stomped on his hand, causing him to fall. Gohan turned around and began to walk away when Cell jumped from the bottom, but was met with a powerful knee to the face from Gohan. "I'll get you for this boy, I swear I will."
"Cell give up, you aren't going to beat me." Gohan said.
"NOW GOHAN!" Goku shouted, "END IT RIGHT NOW, THERE'S NO TIME!"
Gohan ignored his father and continued his slow pace towards Cell, "NO!" Cell shouted, "Stay back!" He began yelling and slammed his arms into the ground his whole body expanding.
"RUN GOHAN!" Goku screamed.
Cell started to laugh, "Boy this is the end for you, you thought you could beat me but you can't, I'm going to blow myself up now, and I'm going to take you with me!" Cell laughed, "Say goodbye to your precious planet!"
"No don't!" Gohan yelled.
"What!" Vegeta exclaimed, "Blow up the Earth?"
"That's right, Cell's not bluffing this time, I know he'll do it." Piccolo said.
Cell laughed, "You lose little one, I'm going to destroy this planet!"
"No you won't!" Gohan yelled, about to go for a punch.
Cell put up one hand, "Watch out, you might make me explode. You don't wanna make me upset, one little shock could set me off and then it's bye-bye Gohan, bye-bye Goku, and so long Earth!" Cell laughed, "One minute Boy, and then it'll all be over."
"Forty more seconds left!" Cell laughed.
'Dad was right, I shoulda destroyed Cell when I had the chance. I let my powers go to my head' Gohan thought to himself, "I could have destroyed Cell, now there's nothing I can do, I failed." Gohan fell to his knees, "What have I done?" He slammed his hands into the ground, "I've been a fool, I've let Cell win again!"
Cell laughed, "Ten more seconds and the Earth will be gone!" Cell said, "I guess we'll call the game a draw."
Goku appeared in front of Cell, placing a hand on the bio-android's bloated stomach, "Hey you put up a good fight Gohan, I'm proud of you."
"What Daddy?" Gohan asked, wondering if he was hallucinating.
"Take care of your mother for me, she needs you, tell her that I had to do this Gohan." Goku said, then smiled at his son, "Goodbye, my son." He said, then disappeared, with Cell in tow.
"NO COME BACK!" Gohan shouted.
"GOKUUUU!" Krillin shouted.
END FLASHBACK
Gohan was snapped out of his thoughts at that moment by his mother's scream. He rushed towards her and found her standing there, her breathing was shallow and her face was pale.
"What's wrong mom?" He asked.
"Nothing Gohan, why don't you go play with Icarus for a bit, I'll call you for supper." She said.
"Sure." Gohan said, but he wasn't going to play with his dragon friend, no he would be going to fight Vegeta. Since that day three months ago, Vegeta and Gohan would regularly meet for a spar so that they could both stay in shape.
Gohan left his house and flew up, leaving the mountain area that he lived in and going towards the rocky area that the Cell Games had taken place in. He powered up to Super Saiyan and flared his energy three times, a signal that he and Vegeta had made for whenever the other wanted to fight. This was the first time that Gohan had called the older Saiyan, and it would also be the first time that Gohan would go to the second level against him, hopefully Vegeta wouldn't disappoint him.
He waited a few minutes and Vegeta finally showed up, "You called brat?" He asked.
"Yea, let's do this. Gohan said.
"Will you finally try against me?" Vegeta asked, the last few times Gohan hadn't put his all into the fight and had left all eat up.
"This time, yea, I hope you can keep up." Gohan smirked and transformed into Super Saiyan 2 as Vegeta powered up to Super Saiyan.
The two flew at each other and met in a clash of foot against arm, Gohan kick sending Vegeta flying, Gohan appeared behind Vegeta and kicked him upwards, then smashed him downwards, causing the Saiyan-prince to smash into the ground hard.
Gohan waited for the dust to clear, and when it did, Vegeta was standing there, one arm outstretched towards the demi-Saiyan, "Big Bang... ATTACK!" He shouted, firing a large ball of Ki at Gohan.
"Kaa-mee-haa-mee!" Gohan quickly chanted, "HAA!" He yelled, quickly cupping his hands at his side then firing a Kamehameha at Vegeta's attack, the two smashed into each other, resulting in a dust cloud, Vegeta used the dust to his advantage and phased behind Gohan, slamming him downwards, then phased in front of him and kicked him upwards and waited for him to land.
"Nice move Vegeta, too bad it didn't hurt." Gohan smirked.
"Don't mock me brat!" Vegeta screamed, rushing Gohan, who merely moved out of the way and brought his knee up into Vegeta's gut.
Gohan powered down, "I thought this would be more fun." He said as he flew away from Vegeta's near unconscious form.
Gohan landed at his house and heard his mother crying, but that wasn't something new, for the past three months she was almost always in tears, but there was something different about these tears, something about these particular tears caused a strange smell in the air, was smell the right word though? He wasn't sure. He shrugged the thought off and walked into his house and heard his mother on the phone.
"... and Goku isn't coming back, and I don't know what to do!" Chichi cried to her friend. After a few seconds Chichi screamed, "I REFUSE!" She screamed, "HOW COULD YOU EVEN SUGGEST THAT?" She asked, "No I haven't told him yet." She said, sounding a little disappointed.
"Told me what?" Gohan feigned innocence.
"I gotta go Bulma, he's home." Chichi said quickly, hanging up the phone and turning to Gohan, "Gohan sweety, I have a surprise for you." She said.
"What is it?" He asked.
"You are going to be a big brother soon." She said, a smile on her crying face.
Gohan was speechless, he had always wanted a younger sibling, and now his wish was coming true, but at the same time, his younger brother/sister wouldn't have a father to raise them, and that caused Gohan to anguish, it was his fault that his dad was gone and his younger sibling would have to pay the price for it.
"Gohan?" Chichi said, "Sweety are you okay?"
"Mom." He said, looking her in the eyes, his eyes were full of anguish and determination, "I'm going to New Namek." He said, then turned and walked out of the house.
"Gohan, I forbid you from going, it's too dangerous."
"You don't get a choice, I have to rectify my mistake, it's my fault that Dad is gone, and now I have to get him back before my sibling grows up without him!" Gohan yelled, letting some of his pent up emotion stress out, shocking Chichi. He turned back around and kept walking, flying towards Capsule Corp.
I hope you liked the first chapter of this story, I think that the next one will be New Namek, then the accident will take place in the third Chapter, anyways thanks for reading.
