Chapter 1: Welcome To Hell
"Hey Gohan why don't you go out today. You can go to the city or play in the forest. You can even go visit Piccolo if you want to. Your mother and I want to have some time alone today." Goku said to his only son.
Gohan nodded. "Sure dad. I'll be back around 8."
Goku smiled and ruffled his sons hair. "Thanks son. I promise I'll spend some time with you too. We can even go fishing tomorrow."
Gohan looked down. "Dad is it really okay to be having fun when the Cell games are 9 days away. Shouldn't we be training?"
Goku lifted his sons head with his finger. He gave the most reassuring smile he could. "I told you already Gohan. Resting is just as important as training. We trained vigorously for a while now. Our body needs time to recuperate."
Gohan sighed. "I get it, but it still feels like we're letting the world down."
"We're not letting anyone down son. We'll be ready for the Cell games."
Gohan smiled happily. "Well if you're so sure how can I not believe you."
Goku nodded. "That's the spirit. Now go on and have yourself a nice relaxing day.
Gohan turned on his heels and walked out the door. He flew off towards the direction of North city. He landed near the mountains. "Dr. Gero's lab should be around here somewhere. I know Krillin and Trunks destroyed it, but what if there was more to it than we thought. They didn't know he had a secret basement in his lab, so maybe he had another lab close by just in case his was compromised."
Gohan started walking around looking for doors or anything that looked like an entrance.
"I guess there really is nothing here." Gohan sighed as he leaned against a rock. Gohan got off the rock and stared at it questioningly. "Whats with this rock? " He knocked on it and put his ear closer. "Its hollow. That's weird?" He moved the rock to see a door hatch underneath it.
"I was right!" Gohan pried the door open. "I wonder whats down here." He jumped down and realized how dark it was. He made a ki blast to use as a light source. He started walking down the tunnel to see where it ended. "I don't sense anyone down here. This place must have been abandoned." He kept walking until a floor tile he stepped on went down. Something shot out of the wall and stuck into Gohans arm. Gohan pulled it out and threw it.
"I have to be more careful. That actually stung a little." Gohan kept walking being sure to avoid more traps. His steps started getting heavier and he started sweating. "What's going on? Why do I feel so sick. Maybe its time to get out of here." Gohan turned around and tried to fly, but he fell as soon as he tried to take flight. His vision started going blurry.
"Whats going on? What's happening to my body?" He saw the light of a flashlight coming towards him. He saw the figure of a man before everything went black.
Gohans vision finally started to fade in. He opened his eyes to see he was chained to a chair. He pulled on the chains to break them, but nothing happened.
"Don't even bother trying to break out. You won't be able too. The chains absorb you ki. The more you struggle the stronger the chains become." Said a voice in the room. "The chair and chains are also made from the strongest metal in the world. There is no way you can break them."
Gohan looked around and saw a man in a white lab coat. He had short red hair with freckles on his face. He stood around five feet ten inches. He had on black pants with black shoes. His eyes were brown and he had weird vibe coming off of him. "Who are you? Why am I chained to this chair?"
The man turned to him and gave an eerie smile. "Me? I'm just a scientist. My name is Jason and I chained you to this chair to perform certain...experiments on you."
Gohan started to shudder. "Experiments? Why? What kind?"
Jason started to howl with laughter. "My experiments involve how long the body can withstand certain torture."
Gohan looked like he saw a ghost. His face was ghostly white and sweat was starting to run down his forehead. "Please don't." He begged, but the scientist just kept laughing.
"My my. I never thought I would see a saiyan, and the son of Goku no less to beg for his life."
Gohans eyes widened. "You know who I am?"
"Of course I do. I was 's assistant after all. How do you think he was able to turn into an android? That was all me. I know about you and all your friends. Especially that green one. I was actually able to get some of his DNA from and do you want to know what I found out?" Jason said as he turned to Gohan.
"I found out that he can regrow limbs if he wants. He can regenerate. Now I know what you're thinking. 'why would someone who dabbles in torture care about regeneration.' Well if my lab rats can regenerate that means they live longer and my experiments can last longer. I wouldn't have to go searching for more subjects so often."
Gohan swallowed deeply. His heart was pounding against his chest.
"I see you realize the implications of what I just said. You're half saiyan too. I bet you'll last a really long time especially after I injected you with this serum. You're limbs will grow back even if I cut them off. I can't wait to begin my fun with you."
"No! Let me out! Someone! Anyone! Please help me!" Gohan yelled to the top of his lungs.
Jason gave a sinister smile. "No one will hear you Gohan. This room, no this whole underground lab is sound proof. Ki blockers are on you as well so no one will be able to sense you. You are mine!" Jason walked over to Gohan with a knife in hand. He cut off one of Gohans index fingers. Gohan screamed in bloody murder while struggling to break free of the chair.
"Oh how I love that sweet sound of agony." After half a minute Gohans finger began to grow back. Jason raised an eyebrow. "Oh only thirty seconds huh? That's the fastest time yet. Lets see if it takes thirty seconds for two fingers to grow back at the same time. He cut Gohans middle and ring finger off. Gohan struggled as much as he could to get loose. The pain was excruciating causing him to scream out again until his fingers grew back.
"Thirty three seconds this time. Good timing."
"Please no more! Please stop! I'll do whatever you say just no more of this!" Gohan begged.
Jason chuckled. "Whatever I say huh? Well I want you to scream a beautiful scream for me."
"Why are you doing this? What have I ever done to you?" Gohan pleaded.
"You've done nothing to me. Don't take this personally. I just needed a toy and you wondered in here. In retrospect this is your fault for coming down here." Jason said as he snipped off all of Gohans fingers on both hands. Gohan felt as if he was going to pass out. He screamed louder than he ever has his whole life. He felt a pinch in his arm. He looked down to see a needle.
"Don't think you can go to sleep on me yet. I've just begun." Jason said.
"What...What was...in ...that needle?" Gohan panted out.
"Oh it was just an adrenaline shot. I gotta keep you awake now."
'Someone please help!' Gohan thought desperately.
Goku was standing outside looking at the sky darkening. 'Its past eight. Gohan should've been home by now.' He closed his eyes to sense for his son. His eyes widened when he realized he couldn't sense him at all.
"Chi Chi I don't know whats taking Gohan so long so I'm going to go look for him. I'll be right back okay?" Goku said to ease his wife of her worrying,
"Where is he Goku? He wouldn't intentionally be this late coming home. That's not like him." Chi Chi said in a paranoid voice.
Goku smiled. "Don't worry I'm sure he's fine. I'll be right back." Goku put two fingers to his forehead and disappeared.
He arrived on the lookout. He looked around for Piccolo. "Piccolo I need to talk to you. Are you here?"
Mr. Popo walked over to him. "Goku? What are you doing here?"
"Hello Mr. Popo. I'm looking for Piccolo. I was hoping he would know of Gohans whereabouts."
Mr. Popo shook his head. "I'm sorry but he doesn't. He flew off a while ago to look for him. Apparently their mind link somehow disappeared a few hours ago. He's been searching the earth ever since."
Goku looked down. "Why didn't he come to me? I'm Gohans father. He should've came to me with this information."
"Well at that time he said your energy was very...erratic. He said you were most likely mating at that time." Mr. Popo described.
Goku's cheeks were tinged with red for a few seconds. "Yeah he was pretty accurate." He then looked over the horizon with a serious face. "Thank you for the information Mr. Popo. I'm going to go talk to Piccolo."
Popo nodded as Goku put his fingers to his head and disappeared.
Piccolo was flying low looking for any trace of Gohan.
'Where are you Gohan? I need to know you are safe. Why can't I sense you? Why did our link disappear?'
Goku appeared right in front of him. "Piccolo we need to talk."
