Deadman Z Ch2

A loud boom echoed through the room as a tray of food impacted the wall hard enough to create a crater. Son Gohan wore the green jumpsuit that was standard for all inmates in Deadman Wonderland. His top was down and tied off at his waist revealing a white shirt that carried several stains. Sweat coated him as he paced through his room, hunger growing inside of him. Food hadn't solved his craving, hence the crater in his wall. The half-Saiyan ran his tongue over his enlarged canines as he shuddered like it was freezing. The raven haired boy collapsed against his door before it fell open, not taking him with it. Gohan stumbled through the hallways getting strange looks from people who were muttering to him. He saw a man standing before him with a look a skepticism as he asked, "You the new kid?" Gohan went to respond but fell forwards faceplanting on the concrete.

The man reached down and Gohan reacted on instinct, lunging forwards and locking his jaws on the strange man's forearm, drawing blood. The Saiyan began to hungrily lap up the stranger's blood as rapidly as he could. The man yelled loudly and began to try and shove the warrior away, to no avail. After seconds the teen removed his jaws from the flesh of this mystery man. "What the hell?", the dark haired inmate shouted in surprise as Gohan got off the ground, licking his lips. "Sorry.", Gohan quickly apologized as he examined the bite marks, "That was new." The marks dug deeply into the man's flesh and could have possibly hit bone. The bites oozed crimson as Gohan reached for the left sleeve on his green jumpsuit and tore it off.

After binding the wounds on the man's arm Gohan heard him say, "My name is Senji Kyomasa, but everyone calls me the Crow. People are saying that you're called the Eagle."Gohan raised an eyebrow as he inquired, "Does everyone in G Sector have a bird themed name?" "Yup.", Crow responded as he rubbed the back of his head. Gohan shrugged to himself as he remembered the Carnival Corpse that he seen before. "Want to tell me how you managed to beat Cell?", Senji nonchalantly asked as he watched the Eagle's eyes widen in horror as he waved his hands in front of him shouting, "Mr. Satan is the one who beat Cell, I wasn't even at the Cell Games!" The taller of the duo scoffed at the teen's statement and replied, "DW has its own satellite. We saw the entire thing." Gohan hung his head as he said quietly, "Its true, I defeated Cell."

A smashing sound was heard and Crow ducked instinctively and a flower pot flew gloriously through the air like a bird in flight... And smashed into Gohan's face with a loud crash before it shattered into many tiny pieces. An inmate was seen reaching for a flowerpot and seemed to be drooling. A girl with bright green eyes was holding another pot as she shouted, "Don't eat those!", annoyance and rage present in her voice. She had light brown hair that went down past her neck and was split into two braids which sat on her shoulders. She wore a light colored dress and for some odd reason chains on her wrists. The man was rather large and seemed to be focused only on eating the plants. This caused Gohan to sigh in annoyance as he let out a shout that he enhanced with Ki to topple the overweight inmate. He let out a shout of surprise as he flew down the corridor before crashing into a wall, cracking it. The half-Saiyan turned back to Senji and asked, "Any idea when I fight?" Crow shrugged before saying, "I'm gonna go get ready for my next fight."

He walked away and Gohan's thoughts briefly turned towards his family. His father let himself die and just thrown Gohan to the wolves, letting a child fight against a creature like Cell. His mother hated him fighting and was way too suffocating, everyone had to agree with her. Gohan's thoughts finally turned towards his young brother who had yet to be born. The parents decided on his name beforehand and called him Goten. So Gohan was hating the fact that he abandoned his brother, just like Goku abandoned his son. This was the thing that really hurt Gohan the most, he would never know his little brother.

Gohan was snapped out of his musings when he heard a voice say, "Thanks." He looked up and saw the girl holding one of her remaining pots as she examined him. "Weren't you on TV?", she asked quickly as she watched him. The Deadman shrugged as he didn't deny or confirm that statement. The girl then introduced herself as "Minatsuki Tatami, aka the Hummingbird." Gohan also introduced himself. He walked away from her while figuring out the layout of the halls. Minatsuki was frowning as she thought to herself, 'I've heard the name Son before, just where?'

Gohan walked towards an energy signature that felt cold and dark. He tracked the energy to a room that had weights laying around. A person who was several years older than him was lifting a barbell with several weights attached. After several seconds he lowered it to the ground. The inmate had grey tinted hair that fell down his neck, which was quite pale. The teen was clad in the basic prison jumpsuit with combat boots and a black glove on his left hand. The person tossed the weights to the ground and turned towards Gohan. His blue eyes had a sheltered and haunted look, but there was a flicker of life within his eyes as he growled, "What do you want new kid?" Gohan responded by quickly asking, "My name is Gohan, what's yours?" The inmate told Gohan, "I'm the Raven." He then pulled on a black jacket and tied a cream scarf around his hips. "You're the Eagle.", the Raven said nonchalantly to the Saiyan as he turned towards the door, "I've never lost a Carnival Corpse before, so be prepared to lose." On that note the pale skinned prisoner walked out the door and left Gohan alone.

Gohan stared at the grey haired inmate who just walked away. Gohan wondered what he meant before he realized that they were most likely about to fight in Carnival Corpse. This thought gave Gohan chills down his back, because the Raven clearly was a powerful competitor. 'That'll be a good time to stretch my legs.', Gohan told himself as he shuddered with glee. With newfound excitement Gohan decided to prepare for battle.

Two Days Later

The two Deadmen stood across from eachother with smug looks on their faces. The Raven was standing before Gohan in a giant space that was surrounded with a thick glass-like material. A speaker in the shape of a bird was suspended in the center of the arena while a metallic tree-like structure was off to one side. Gohan grinned as he settled into his fighting stance that he was so familiar with. The grey haired fighter bit down on the area between his wrist and his thumb. Blood oozed out of the area to form a European style sword that the Raven brought into his fighting stance. Gohan dug his nails into his palms and let his blood ooze out of him and float around him. The Raven rushed the Eagle and performed a powerful downwards slash, which was countered when the Saiyan used a current of blood to block the attack. Several extremely fast and powerful cuts were either blocked or redirected in the same manner. The blood settled behind Gohan's shoulders almost like a red ribbon. Gohan mentally deduced that this Raven character could most likely hold his ground, if not outright defeat some of the Z-Fighters. The Eagle smiled gleefully as he coated his left hand in spikes of crimson and smashed it straight into the pale inmate's chest. The Raven soared across the arena and skidded to a stop against the metal tree. He swung his sword, but something seemed off. Mid-swing the blade suddenly took on a web based design, causing it to expand greatly. The hero of the Cell Games held his hand to his side in a flat position, which he coated in blood to make an arm blade. Gohan caught the Raven's blood sword on his hand blade and hooked his spikes on it. He tugged back and yanked the crimson blade from his opponent's hand. Deciding to show off some he performed a vertical swipe, but extended it just like the Raven did. Gohan smirked as he realized he won, but frowned when he seen his prey in one piece.

It turns out that the Raven had generated two smaller blades to counter Gohan's final blow. The Saiyan rushed his foe, seeking a quick victory. Gohan attempted a massive overhead blow from his spikes, but the Raven caught his fist with one blade, rolled under the Eagle, and sliced multiple times into the black haired youth's chest and legs. Blood splattered onto the floor as Gohan let out a crazed laughter. One part deep inside was sad because of his father's death and felt that this pain was deserved. So that was why Gohan so openly embraced this pain, not for pleasure but for the reason of that he needed to feel that pain to know he was alive. The Raven stabbed his daggers of death into Gohan's knees and laughed to himself at his foe's incompetence. But his laugh was cut off when the ribbon of blood that floated behind the Eagle stabbed into his chest, narrowly missing his heart. The light haired inmate fell backwards and felt everything fade to black. Gohan however stood proudly over his enemy as he celebrated his first victory in a Carnival Corpse.

About a hour later Gohan was relaxing in his room. He had witnessed the Raven's Penalty Game, and loss of his spleen. That doctor seemed to enjoy tearing apart their patients. The Deadman reclined on his bed and stared at the ceiling. He closed his eyes and nearly drifted off, but a golden flash caught his attention. The demi-Saiyan sat up and saw a boy sitting on his bed. He appeared to be 15 years old and of Japanese descent. His hair was a shining gold, just like a Super Saiyan and his eyes were the same sparkling gold. He was clad in a black tee with a white unbuttoned shirt on over it with dark slacks and tennis shoes. He popped a mint into his mouth and sucked on it. "I must say.", the stranger said nonchalantly to the inmate, "I've grown to like these treats. Amazing what humans can come up with isn't it?" While he said this the boy gave Gohan a mint, which he popped into his mouth. "What are you?", Gohan inquired, the boy's Ki felt unlike anything Gohan had ever felt before. "Just the forgotten one.", the golden teen said as he continued, "I saw your fight today." "Yeah. And?", Gohan questioned as he met the boy's unnatural eyes. "Let's just say.", the boy said eagerly, "We just might have a beautiful future ahead of us." On these words the boy snapped his fingers and vanished. Gohan felt unnatural exhausted and sleep overtook him.
