READ THE PREQUEL FIRST OR ELSE YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON! - There is a running theme which a lot of people are sensitive about and hate me for! If you're one of them, turn back now! You have been warned, so no flames!
Chapter 1: Shattered Reality
The Planet Earth had been thrown into complete turmoil; the past 24 hours have been Hell - literally. There were fiery holes in the clouded sky, bringing the planet under a permanent midnight. A true apocalyptic setting.

"DO IT!"
Jeice was being held by his hair; harshly shook forward as he didn't answer Frieza. The mutant began to cry. He didn't want to kill. Not anymore.
"I SAID DESTROY THEM!"
Jeice opened his tearful green eyes to see a dark-haired woman, protectively holding her son. He couldn't have been more than seven years old.
"NO!" he cried as a pink flash of energy swallowed up the screaming humans. Frieza dropped Jeice onto the ground. On his hands and knees, Jeice let himself cry, his fingers digging into the ground.
"HOW COULD YOU!?"
"Don't give me that, you worthless, stupid coward!" spat Frieza. "You work for me!"
"Not anymore I don't!" Jeice got onto his feet uneasily. Frieza suddenly knocked him down and stood on his back.
"You aren't going anywhere util you start murdering this absurd race!"
"Chiaotzu!" cried Tien as he caught sight of his small friend in the dark sky. Yamcha was barely surviving on the ground; blood was oozing out of his twisted leg. They were forced into hiding after Cooler and Salza overwhelmed them; they barely escaped with their lives thanks to Tien's Solar Flare technique.
"Aah ... oow ... " was all Yamcha could get past his lips as Tien attempted to relocate his leg. Chiaotzu landed inside the cave and attempted to telekinetically seal it with a boulder.
"No, Chiaotzu! They'll sense you!" cried Tien before Chiaotzu could manage to gather his ki. "I'll move it. You go and help Yamcha!" The partners switched places, and the cave was sealed completely from the wind and rain which battered the three fighters constantly. They managed to start a small camp fire after a few minutes to bring some light and warmth back into their lives.
"We - We need Goku ... " whispered Yamcha, defeat heavily controlling his voice. Tien and Chiaotzu hung their heads at the sound of his name. They couldn't count on Gohan or Vegeta, so they were starting to get used to the idea of losing everything ... and everyone.
The man was dead. It had been painfully slow. Cell recalled it lasting around 5 hours, 34 minutes and 43 seconds exactly wen he carefully burned away that last peace of skin on the man's chest. This was his second masterpiece since escaping from Hell. His last victim was a woman in her mid-thirties; he cracked open her jaws as wide as he could and preceeded to turn her inside out, driving his fist through her organs and shattering her rib cage, pelvis and spine before finally reaching the main bone in her left foot, yanking it back out, then eventually did the other. In the end she was just a bloody heap.
Curiosity gets the better of Cell. The android decided that this time he would torture the humans slowly one by one in different ways and not take them for granted like the last time. He finally stood back and looked at the man he'd just destroyed: completely flayed in a pool in his own blood. Cell cocked his head sharply, observant as he was, and then finally walked away.
Gohan watched his mother put Goten to bed, kissing him goodnight, before heading back to his room. He was dressed in a pair of jeans and a black vest, and his medium length black hair was tied back as usual. The boy kicked off his shoes and sat still on the edge of his bed. He listened to his mother settle down into her own bed to go to sleep. Gohan wanted to sleep too, but how could he at a time like this? He should be out there helping his friends, or even looking for Jeice. The woods were still peaceful right now, so he'd might as well make the most of it.
"You seem different somehow."
Fuck ... Gohan looked towards the window where Cell was standing in his room.
"I'm wearing different clothes if that's what you mean. Why are you here?"
Cell's eyes wandered down at Gohan's busy looking desk.
"All of this," began Cell, using one hand to turn one of Gohan's book towards him. "Does it make you feel... normal?"
Cell looked back on him with a curious yet somewhat triumphant expression on his face. Gohan wondered whether Cell's question was meant to hurt his feelings or not, but he indulged him anyway.
"Not as much as it used to." Gohan wasn't exactly happy having to remind himself about what goes on inside his own head most of the time. Cell noticed Gohan's eyes lose slightly more vitality, if that was even still possible. Distracted by his own darkening thoughts, he jumped as Cell slammed the book shut on his desk. Just to spite him a little.
"Will you keep it down!" whispered Gohan frantically, fearing that his family would wake up. Cell smirked at him.
"They can't hear you."
Gohan didn't question what kind of barrier Cell had put around them; it was quite clear that it was only him that Cell was interested in at the moment. Cell walked closer to him and stroked his hair gently.
"Being alive hasn't changed you a bit." Gohan wasn't buying it.
"Have you come here to fuck or what?"
Cell chuckled slightly.
"Possibly ... " he replied. Gohan walked over to his desk and removed his homework and then climbed on the chair, sitting down on the desk and using his chair as a foot stool. Cell sat on his bed; part of him ignoring the fact that Gohan was sat at a higher level than he was.
"What's happening to the planet?"
Cell chuckled slightly.
"You mean your friends haven't figured it out yet?" Gohan's eyes narrowed dangerously as the android continued. "Hell and Earth used to be two separate dimensions. Now they've become unstable and are collapsing into each other."
"How?" asked Gohan, Cell sensing worry in his voice.
"All that wishing you and your friends have been doing. Raising the dead and so forth - it's destroying the balance. Rules have been broken and the universe is being thrown into chaos. Honestly, a four year old could figure it out... "
Cell ignored Gohan's angered expression and unexpectedly changed the subject.
"Open your legs ... "
The demi obeyed, though only opened his legs slightly, maybe just to annoy him.
"Wider ... "
The android was becoming impatient. Gohan decided not to put his family at risk of feeling Cell's wrath; he widened his legs and slammed his left foot down next to Cell, trying his best not to lose his temper.
"You're scared," Cell said with a twisted smile.
"I'm not afraid of you," replied Gohan, trying to ignore the hand creeping up the inside of his leg.
"I know. You're afraid of what's coming." Gohan tried not to give in to him, but a small moan escaped his lips. "I love the smell of fear. Especially from you." Cell finally stopped as he reached the top of his inner thigh, and the two fighters were finally locked in a cold stare.
There was a large, swirling black hole in the sky in West City. More and more forms were flying out of it, some were even falling.
"Ow ... my head ... "
Goku woke up to see King Kai lying next to him.
"What the?"
Goku got up to the sight of Capsule Corporation in front of him with a large whole blown through it.
"What happened?"
That's it for chapter one. Reviews would be appreciated so I know who's actually reading this.
