Timeline: The Apocalypse
Written by: ssj2mvegeta
Prologue
Cell stood perfectly poised on his makeshift ring. The Z senshi stood to the side of the ring, nearly laughing. The pompous fool, Mr. Satan, was showboating to the news crew as if he had already won. Every single one of the true contestants could sense his ki, and while it was massive compared to Bulma, he was about as powerful as a gnat compared to even Yamucha. He had finished his ridiculous display of punches and kicks, and had now turned his attention to Cell. With a flurry of hits, Mr. Satan pummeled Cell, who stood there and felt nothing. Breaking from the flurry of useless hits, Mr. Satan stepped back and lunged at Cell. With one quick hit, Cell knocked Mr. Satan from the ring and into a cliff-face. No one was suspecting what would happen next.
As Mr. Satan smacked into the cliff, his ki vanished from this universe. His dead body fell to the ground in a broken, twisted heap. Cell, Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo, Trunks, Yamucha, Tienshinhan, Kuririn, # 16, and the news crew stared at his body in horror. The news crew stared because the simpletons couldn't imagine Mr. Satan being defeated so easily, and the others because for some reason, they KNEW he should have survived. In a glimmer of light, they saw that suddenly, this universe was taking a turn in a completely unexpected direction. Even though they didn't know what was in store, they knew that it would be incorrect. There was nothing they could do about it, either. Somehow, through the haze, they knew the world was doomed.
Goku stepped forward; still a little shocked, and said, "Well, I guess I'll go first."
********
After Cell's spectacular death at the hands of Gohan, he an the other Z senshi flew off to Kami's lookout, giving time for the news crew to check on Mr. Satan, who they assumed to be unconscious. As they ran up to his limp body, the Z senshi had made their wish to bring back all those killed by Cell. As the News anchor shook Mr. Satan's body, his spirit drifted back from the long line at the check-in station, to give him another life.
"Whoa, did someone get the license plate of that truck?" Mr. Satan said groggily, before reassessing the situation. "What the..? I thought I was dead! What's going on?"
"Calm yourself, Mr. Satan. You were knocked Unconscious by Cell." Said the news reporter.
"Cell, where is he???" Mr. Satan yelped out in alarm, looking around wildly for Cell."
"He was defeated by a young boy." Replied the reporter.
"What!?! Someone who kil-err, 'knocked me out' was defeated by a small boy." He said with surprise.
"I'm afraid so, Mr. Satan. You've been dethroned by a young boy, no older than 11."
Mr. Satan fainted.
********
"Well, that about clears up the mess Cell caused," Started Kuririn, "but one thing still bothers me. I thought for sure that that jerk, umm, Mr. Satan, would survive that hit. Anyone else feel the same?"
They all nodded in unison.
"I also think something bad is coming, but what?" Kuririn asked.
They wouldn't find out for another seven years.
