Chapter 1: After the battle
Hi guys, this is the first official chapter in my story. I don't own DBZ. If you have any suggestions to make this chapter better please let me know. "TALKING" 'thinking'
As the smoke cleared from the clash of the Kamehameha Wave's between Gohan and Cell there was no one left to be seen on the battle field. Jimmy the reporter said "Did anyone see where the group of mysterious fighters go?" Everyone present in unison said "No," except for Hercule. "HAHAHAHA! Those cowards, they ran away." Jimmy then said "Are you sure they were there a second ago, why did they run away?" Hercule thinking quickly decided this was his one moment to take the glory and be the world's hero. "Well you see what happened was, I grew tired of all these want to be Martial Artists that where disgracing the name of my beloved art. I wasn't fooled by all their smokes and mirrors for a second. I ran into their flashy lights and when they saw that I wasn't faced most of them started to run away. HAHAHA. Serves them right for trying to fool the world." 'That should make everyone love me and hate those phonies.' Seeing as how no one was asking the question Caroni decided to speak up "What happened next, where is the Delivery Boy, and more importantly what happened to cell. 'Oh Know I never thought of that, better think of something quick' "Well as they saw me run through there little light show even Cell knew that he was outclassed, you should have seen the look of fear on Cell's face. Deciding to end this quickly before anything got out of hand I did my world famous Satan Punch and destroyed Cell once and for all." Wow Mr. Satan, you are the best, I wish I could have seen when you destroyed Cell, but I was blinded by all the lights" said Pirozhki. "It's ok. BUT YOU TWO HAVE A LOT MORE TRAINING TO DO, YOU EMBARRASSED ME ON LIVE TV BY NOT BEING ABLE TO DEFEAT CELL!" The Tag Team duo got on their knees and started apologizing to Hercule "We're so sorry sir," "We should have trained harder" "Well I suppose it's not all your fault I mean I am the best, ok I forgive the two of you, but you still need to work harder." "YES SIR, MR. SATAN SIR." They said in unison. 'That was close, I thought they would have seen through my clever lie." As the Camera Man was rummaging through his van he realized he was able to pass the good news to the people of the world "Ladies and Gentlemen of the world I have some great news for you. HERCULE SATAN HAS SAVED US ALL FROM THE HORROR THAT WAS CELL!" Everyone across the world was cheering for the World Savior, all except the Z Fighters who were mourning the death of Goku who decided to stay dead to keep the world safe from invaders.

Back at Hercules house there was three happy kids celebrating that cell was defeated. "I can't believe it. Your dad is a hero Videl!" Shouted Sharpener as he was jumping up and down with Erasa and Videl. "I know Vi, This is so exciting." "Yeah I know, I can't wait for my daddy to get home." A few moments later Hercule walked through the door, "Daddy/Mr. Satan" the trio ran towards him and gave him a big hug. "Hi kids, did you guys see the fight?" "We saw as much as we could daddy, before the TV's went out that is, we were so worried about you," "Don't worry pumpkin, Cell never stood a chance against me. HAHAHA!" said Hercule as he pushed out his chest and put his hands on his hips doing his world famous pose. Videl looked up at Hercule with admiration 'Wow my dad is the greatest.' "Now I have to leave in a few days Videl, The world wants to thank me for saving the world. King Furry himself wants to see me, look for me on TV," Hercule told Videl as he gave her a kiss on her forehead. Videl just blushed as her friends where looking at her with smiles on their faces.

Up at the lookout the Z Fighters were looking at each other unsure of what to do or say, Goku decided he wanted to remain dead. In the center of the lookout was Gohan on his hands and knees with tears rolling down his face "It's all my fault, dad warned me not to get too cocky, and he told me to finish off Cell when I Had the chance but I didn't listen. If only I would have listened to him he'd still be here with us and he wouldn't have had to sacrifice himself to save us all." The first one to walk up to him was Krillen. "Gohan look, your dad is really proud of you for what you did. It's not your fault. You did your best and that's more than anyone can ask of you, thanks to you we are alive. You can't beat yourself up for this. We all know the risks we take when we decided to go to the Cell Games." "I know but why did it have to be my dad, why couldn't it have been me instead, now the world will never know what a great Hero my dad was." Nobody knew what to say. "Look brat you're dad decided we wanted to stay dead, there's nothing we can do about that, what we can change is continue our training to make sure that we are ready for the next fight and we don't repeat our mistakes." Vegeta told Gohan. "Thanks Vegeta." The Z fighters deciding that they should all be heading home seen as how there was nothing left to say, all that was left was Piccolo and Gohan. "Look kid, your father wouldn't want you to beat yourself up for this, he knows it's not your fault. You're only 11 years old you shouldn't have been the one to fight Cell, you shouldn't have even been on the battle field but you were the strongest one out of all of us, the only one that stood a chance at beating Cell. You did your best and your best was enough you stopped the terror that was Cell, no one could have asked you for more." "Thanks Piccolo," "You're going to need to be strong for your mother, she's going to need you now more than ever." Gohan looked at Piccolo wondering if there was more to what he was saying but dismissed it and nodded. Seconds later Gohan took off towards his house to let his mother know what happened. As Gohan arrived at his house and walked through the front door Chi-Chi threw herself at Gohan and pulled him in for a hug. "I was so worried about you, where is your father?" Chi-Chi asked as she was looking around waiting for him to land. Gohan looked down and let his hair cover his eyes. "Mom, dad's not coming home." Upon hearing this Chi-Chi fainted and fell backwards.
…..
A few days later in the Center of Orange Star City a giant crowd was gathered around a stadium. The Mayor of Orange Star City is standing in front of a podium "People of this fair city, it is my great Honor to welcome you here today as we honor the world's savior and formally thank him for his great actions." "Mr. Satan, Mr. Satan, Mr. Satan" the people were chanting in the background getting anxious to see the world savior. "Now before I welcome our Hero, It is my great honor to honor the king of the world, King Furry himself." The crowd started cheering as King Furry made his way to the center of the stage. "People of Orange Star City, please be seated, I won't take too much of your time as I Know you are all excited to have the world champ out here. I just want to say thank you to everyone for having faith in one of our own. Now without any more delays I give you THE WORLD CHAMPION HIMSELF… HERCULE SATAN!" "YEAH! Who's the best" shouted Hercule as he made his way center stage in order to address the city. Hercule went on to telling the people how he defeated Cell by using his world famous Satan Punch and how all the other competitors ran away when they saw that he wasn't fooled by their cheap tricks. One of the reporters asked "Mr. Satan how is it that you where swatted away by cell with just one punch in the beginning of the Cell Games but managed to come out victorious in the end?" Everyone turned towards Hercule, having forgotten about that incident everyone listened up to see what Hercule had to say about that. "HAHAHA, I already told you people I tripped." He told them as he puffed out his chest. "Then why did it look like he took you out no issue?" Hercule looked at him for a second before speaking up "As I was running towards cell to take him down, one of his trip wires got in my way it caused me to lose my footing and Cell saw this he took advantage of this and hit me to make it look like he's the one that took me out. The truth is it was my incredible speed that took me out of the ring." Hercule just stood there for a minute studying the faces of the crowd to see if they believed him. After a moment he spoke up again "I know what you're about to ask next, why did you jump in at the end, well the answer is simple, I grew tired of all the tricks and how they disgraced my profession that I decided to put an end to it and defeated Cell once and for all." This seemed to convince everyone as they all started to shout his name. Before anyone could say anything Hercule decided to end the press conference and just walked away. Before he made it to the back of the stage he turned towards the audience and threw his fist in the air screaming "YEAH!" as fireworks shot from the front of the stage to make his exit. 'Whew that was close, good thing I'm a quick thinker." As he made his way to his limousine he saw Videl smiling at him. "Hi dad great speech" "Thank you sweet pea, Take us home." Hercule told the limo driver as he took them to their new house. Videl and Hercule stepped out of the limo. "Wow, is this our house dad?" "It is now pumpkin, the city decided they would give us this place to show their appreciation to me for saving the world." Back at the center of the city stood a figure person wearing a hood 'I know your lying Hercule, I will expose you for the fraud that you are' as we was thinking this he started walking away thinking about how he could prove to the world that Hercule was a liar and when would be the best time to do it. 'Enjoy your five minutes of glory Hercule, soon you will be exposed as a fraud, and the world will turn their back on you.' The person walked into a dark alley and disappeared without a trace.
OK guys so I just finished the first chapter I didn't get to how Hercule got exposed but we'll get to that maybe in the next chapter, I'm not sure yet, I think I want to add a little more before I get to that. If anyone has any ideas what I should name my mysterious character please let me know, like I said I won't let you know whose ideas I'm using that's for the reader to figure out. I have a basic Idea on how I want this story to look but it's going to be mostly me writing it as I get inspiration, I'll try updating about once a week sometimes more sometimes less depending on what's going on. But please review tell me what I'm doing wrong and what I can do to improve. Until next time.
