Disclaimer: This is , right? So do I even have to do one of these?
Chapter 1
"Oh, yeah. I'm the champ!" Hercule roared. "Daddy, please don't go!" a ten year-old Videl pleaded. "Don't worry, honey, I'll be fine. you know I'm the world's strongest fighter!" Hercule boasted. Hercule was packing up to get into his limo for the Cell Games when Videl came to attempt to stop him. Obviously, Hercule wouldn't listen. "But, daddy...Cell destroyed the entire military! I know you're strong, but-" " don't worry, sweat pea" Hercule interrupted "he just planted bombs around the area to stop anyone who came." "still..." Videl still wasn't sure. But, against her bitter judgement, Hercule strode out to his limo.
"Where is he? There he is! It's Mister Satan!" the announcer shouted. Hercules's limo pulled up next to Cell's ring. Mr. Satan stepped out of the limo and started bad mouthing Cell. Suddenly, he made a gesture for the camera crew to come down from the cliff. "It seems the champ is asking us to come closer...what an honor this is! Given front row seats by Mr. Satan himself!" the announcer yelled. Slowly the announcer and the camera man made their way to the ring.
Meanwhile, Videl was just tuning into the TV channel.
"I hope daddy is alright..." she said to herself.
20 minutes later...
"It's time! The Cell Games will now begin!"
"Okay Cell, It's time for you to face the CHAMP!" Mr. Satan bellowed. "I am QUITE annoyed at all your babbling and worthless insults. I think I should add you to my list of victims" Cell replied, slightly annoyed. Hercule started out with a flurry of punches, all of which Cell dodged just to annoy Mr. Satan. Then he suddenly did a rally of light punches to Hercules's abdomen, making him fall over. "Mr. Satan is down!" the announcer exclaimed. "No I'm not!" said Hercule, obviously in pain " I just slipped, that's all." "Oh really?" Cell asked "well, if you're The Champ, I bet you won't make a mistake like that twice!" "You bet I won't!" Hercule replied, giving him a kick to the head, which resulted in absolutely nothing. Suddenly Cell uppercutted Hercule 35 feet into the sky, and Hercule came crashing down. "Okay, I tried going easy on you, but now I'm giving it 120%!" Hercule boasted. Suddenly, Cell jabbed a hole straight through Hercules's stomach. "NO!" Videl cried, watching the TV. She started sobbing. "I knew this would happen. I should have tried harder to keep him from going" she sniffed.
Cell followed up with a few hard punches before blasting Hercule into pieces.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Videl cried out. Now she had lost her mother and her father...and Cell was to blame.
"This is amazing! We thought that Hercule was the strongest man in the world, but these group of newcomers are MUCH more powerful than him!"
the announcer said with joy. "Cell may have met his match in these powerhouses!" Videl watched on in awe as a young boy who didn't look any more than her age step into the ring. "What's this!? A child has stepped in to fight Cell! What does he think he's doing?" Videl was thinking along the same lines as she saw the golden haired boy step into the ring. "Poor kid...it must be horrible, having to fight against that monster...why are his friends doing that to him?" Videl wondered angrily. "If I was stronger, I'd go there and fight Cell myself!" She was in shock when she saw the boy holding his own against Cell. " This is amazing!" the announcer exclaimed "that little boy is keeping up with Cell!" Suddenly, Cell shot out seven blobs from his butt. "Eww, what the heck are those things?" Videl wondered. She screamed when they turned into small blue Mini-Cells. She noticed that the poor boy was watching in horror as the Mini-Cells beat up his friends. "Poor kid...no one should have to handle that emotional pain." Suddenly, a HEAD flew into the screen and stopped at Cell's feet! The head said a few words to the boy and then was crushed by Cell's foot, splattering blood everywhere. That was it. The breaking point. The child could no longer handle the emotional pain. In a scream of anger, he shook the entire planet with his power. "Whoa!" Videl screamed. "Is that kid even human?" Gohan's hair suddenly spiked up, his muscles became huge, and he had sparks jumping all over his body...
The battle was over. Cell was gone. But many people died from his terror. "Daddy..." Videl said sadly. "Cell is gone...your killer got what he deserved." She owed her life to the child, who the world officially dubbed "The Gold Fighter"
It was what the people of earth called Miracle Day. Everyone killed by Cell had magically come back to life, including Hercule. "DADDY!" Videl cried happily. "I'm so happy to see you...I thought I'd never see you again..." she sobbed into his chest. "Don't worry Videl, I'm here..." he comforted. "I was never dead, though. You should have known that. You need to have more faith in the champ!" he boasted. "DAD! You're not still going to pretend you're the strongest man alive!" Videl protested. "Now Videl, just because you saw certain things doesn't mean it was real. I'm still the strongest man alive!" "Dad, the whole world is praising the gold fighter and calling him their saviour. They all forgot about you, and I don't think there's anything you can say to change that...and please don't lie to me and the world. That's a cowardly thing to do!" Videl exclaimed. "What? That little punk! Why would they praise him? He's just a loser who does tricks to win!" Hercule covered up. "DAD! How dare you? He saved the planet, and saved US, and you want to insult him like that!? Maybe you should have stayed dead, so no one would have to listen to your annoying excuses" she humped, and walked away. Hercule knew he couldn't fix this. His reputation was ruined...all because of that wretched gold fighter!
A/N: I'll try to make my chapters 2k-4k long. This one is mostly a prologue, so it's kinda short, I know. Don't worry, they'll get longer. Please keep reading, and feedback is welcomed!
