Only A Child
Let's get it over with, I, Gohan to the max, swears that I own nothing to do with Dragonballz.
Hello, it is I, finally updating this story. It's been a while since and I feel as though I have kept many of you waiting which I apologise for. Fifthteen reviews for the first chapter, wow, I have a feeling that this could be my biggest story, perhaps I shall drop the others so I can please some people, or at least update sooner. Don't worry I'm not actually dropping any of my stories. I would like to say that this is going to be different to ZAT: Gohan the Immortal Saiyan, and that fanfiction is the one that truly inspired me to write this and this is nowhere near as good as what that fanfiction is so please don't compare it as that would so beat this piece of rubbish. I want it to be completely different and my own take on what if Gohan died at the cell games, I will explain my reasons after this chapter or I will feel that I will ruin it for some of you. I will have a few spelling and grammar issues as I'm lazy and don't check, I just upload when I'm finished so sorry about them. I will attempt to update this about two times a month like my other fanfictions because of a place called college. Thank you all for reviewing.
And keep up with it
Gohan to the Max

Chapter two- Did I do you proud?
He flew towards the object flying down at a great speed, his eye sight got blurry as tears slowly dripped down his face yet he managed to make out what it was. Flying directly towards him was the body of his son. A small grin appeared on the full blooded saiyan's face as he sensed that he was still alive, he opened up his arms ready to catch him before his son impacted the Earth.
His son was still a super saiyan yet his eyes were closed whilst his aura was covered by flames. Goku screamed out in pain as Gohan's body impacted with his own, his skin seemed to burn as now they both were travelling down at a great speed.
"Gohan" Goku called at as he attempted to push the unconscious child back however he didn't respond. He pushed harder, trying to go up against the force of gravity, trying to save his only son's life. "GOHAN"
He pushed harder, eventually Gohan slowed down however it was almost too late. Both father and son collided with the hard ground upon Earth. The other XZ fighters braced themselves as they felt the ground shake, Piccolo flew up into the air and headed straight over to the saiyan's.
"Go..han" Piccolo stammered as he looked down into the crater created by the duo. Gohan's body was across Goku's, he watched as the boy's father move his hand into his son's hair and laughed in a tone that no one ever heard the saiyan laugh before.
"You're alive Gohan" Goku cried out in happiness as he carefully picked up his son. He felt the cold stare from Piccolo upon his body as he flew out of the crater. The other Z fighters gathered around them as they stared at Gohan. "You did it Gohan, you did it my son."
Gohan's eyes opened as he stared directly at his father yet a scowl was upon the child's face. "No...Cell's...alive!" He gasped out in pain; he attempted to lift up his head however it fell back down again. "I...have...to...kill...him...before...it's...to...late."
"Cell's dead Gohan" Piccolo snapped. "I can't feel his Ki anywhere, how did you learn the instant transmission kid?"
"I...didn't...that's...not...the...instant... transmission...it's...better..." He stuttered as this time he successfully sat up, Goku placed him on the ground. "Cell's alive."
"No, Gohan, cell's dead..."Trunks began to say however he felt a shooting pain go right into his chest. He stammered forward a few feet where he fell onto the floor. Vegeta's face turned pale white as he watched the future version of his son fall down to the ground. They heard the sound of a manic laughter behind them.
"Woops" The voice of Cell called out from behind them. "I missed Gohan..."
"Cell" Goku hissed as he stood up in a defensive position, from the corner of his eye, he watched Vegeta collapse to the ground. He lay next to his future son's body as he moved his hand onto his cheek.
"I see you're all happy to see me alive once more and thanks to Gohan I've been able to get my body back. Which reminds me, step away from the child, we have a fight to continue..."
"THAT'S NOT FAIR CELL...HIS ENERGY IS WEAK" Krillon yelled out enraged.
"Your fights with me cell" Goku muttered towards the being as he started to raise his energy. "I'm going to kill you like how I was supposed to. I shouldn't have brought Gohan into it."
"Fine, more fun for me" Cell replied as he walked towards the now screaming Goku. Electricity came out of his body whilst his hair grew an inch more. "Please, if Gohan can't defeat me, what hope do you have, you yourself are tired and I'm back to normal. "
"He's... mine" The child gasped arrogantly as he coughed up a few drops of blood. "I must...kill...cell."
"No, He's mine" Vegeta growled as he immediately stood up from his own son's side, tears gently slipped down his delicate features. "Gohan's to weak and Kakarot is a third class baka who caused this mess, I AM THE STRONGEST SAIYAN AND I WILL PROVE IT"
Vegeta began screaming as his muscles began to bulge; cell released a short little smile followed by a laugh whilst Goku made his way over to his weak son. He out stretched his arms as the child fell in them, before he pulled his finger to his head and disappeared with both the child and himself. The other Z fighters watched as they felt Vegeta's energy grow more and more.
"You are not going to avenge your son Vegeta" The monster laughed. "You're just going to get yourself killed and perhaps you can join him in the afterlife"
Dende's lookout,
Dende and Mr Popo were both standing by the side of the lookout whilst looking down onto the Earth. Only moments ago, the young Namek burst into tears as he thought one of his closest friends met his end yet when he fell down; hope was shone on the small little blue planet. Now they watched as Vegeta took over the fighting and they turned their bodies around as they felt a weak energy followed by one a bit stronger.
"Gohan" Dende gasped as Goku gently placed the child on the ground.
"Look after him Dende, Don't let him return" Goku said as he smiled down to his son before he stood up and placed his hand back onto his forehead. "I love you Gohan."
Then he was gone, Dende gently walked over to the child coughing up blood before he knelt down to the ground and placed his hands over the Childs body.
"I won't restore your full energy but I can't leave you to be in this pain. I can't lose you Gohan, your one of my closest friends."
The Cell Games,
"I was right Vegeta; you are too weak to defeat me. A kid under half your age can easily almost defeat me and look at you. Pathetic isn't it." Cell edged on as he dodged one of Vegeta's attacks before he roughly pushed him back. "I could defeat all of you at the same time."
"I...doubt...that" Vegeta panted as from the corner of his left eye, he saw Goku return once again.
"Okay then, WHY DON'T ALL OF YOU TAKE ME ON, it's not like Gohan will be able to join us, his daddy doesn't want him to return to the battle field."
"How do you know that cell?" Goku growled as he began powering up at the same time as the rest of the Z fighters.
"I guess I should pay him a visit on the lookout, I know you dumped him there so he can be saved, so he can be given protection when he's the Earth's biggest hope. Did you wonder how he knew I was alive before the rest of you, he heard me, he can feel me and he can smell me? We have a bond like none others, not even like yours Piccolo. Pure evil versus the only thing that was almost one hundred percent good however I believe I've corrupted him. He will return where I will finish him off for good."
"NO, GOHAN WOULDN'T DISOBAY ME, I'm his father"
"Yes, the man who held him back then pushed him forward suddenly, and the man that appeared to be good yet you're the man with a dark evil growing within yourself. You want me all to yourself, your selfish and don't entirely care for the well being of that boy. If you did, then you would have let him to die instead of torturing him once again."
"SHUT UP CELL" Goku yelled whilst the Z fighters watched as Goku's behaviour turned to nothing they saw before. "Let's take him down guys"
Each obeyed the full blooded saiyan's command, from the distance, Krillon, Yamcha and Tien charged up Ki blast whilst Goku, Vegeta and Piccolo went into fall combat with the monster who appeared to be smiling. Goku felt a sharp pain as his weak body collided with cells knee, Vegeta was slammed with the monster left hand whilst Piccolo was the only one managing to protect himself from any harm. He still held onto the most energy. Cell then began powering up as he sent of a large force field which pushed all of the Z fighters back including those he began charging up Ki blasts.
"It's no hope; you are all going to die." Cell laughed whilst the others had a look on defeat, everyone accept Vegeta began giving up hope. Immediately he ruthless flew back into battle, followed by Goku however they were just pushed back once again. "I want an interesting fight, I might as well go to the half dead kid, at least he will cause more harm to me."
"You won't have to go anywhere Cell." The voice of Gohan called out from behind the being. His body was still scratched up and his energy was not returned to the full however he know sounded stronger then what he did half an hour ago. Before cell could respond, he felt a sudden jump of power as the boy ascended to the second super saiyan stage. "Your fight is with me."
"Please, you still can't beat me, you still need their help" The monster mocked.
"It's up to them"
"GOHAN" Goku cried out as he watched his son fly into combat. "I promised Chi I wouldn't let any harm come to him."
"It's too late for that" Piccolo growled as he watched Cell and Gohan step back from each other. Simultaneously they both released a Kamahamaha wave which collided together. The watched as a large dome appeared between the two fighters yet cell's was pushing Gohan's further down. The boy appeared to struggle as the other Z fighters flew towards the battle. One by one they either shot Ki blasts to help push Gohan's further to cell or they them directly at the being hoping it would cause a distraction. Krillon, Yamcha and Tien were thrown back as Vegeta, Goku and Piccolo assembled next to the child before they sent their own Ki blasts towards the creature, hoping to aid them threw the battle.
"PUSH HARDER GOHAN" Goku yelled as he struggled to help his own son. "YOUR'RE HOLDING BACK"
"I...can't...I might destroy...everything" He stuttered under his breath, they felt his power begin to disappear. "I..can't...hurt...everyone"
"Just do it Gohan, release your energy and you can save everyone."
"I...can't" The child cried out.
"You can Gohan, JUST BELIEVE IN YOURSELF"
Cell's wave of energy pushed even closer to Gohan's Kamahamaha wave, Vegeta then pushed his power out as it reached the middle once again. A snarl began on his face as he stepped back.
"Brat, do it, I'll go and do what those three are failing at."
"Gohan, you do know you're failing and if you fail its bye bye Gohan, bye bye Goku and bye bye Earth." Cell edged on as he sent a wave of energy to push the other Z fighters back. "Do it, what more do you have to give. Everyone is going to die because you were to weak."
"NO" Gohan yelled as he began pushing his wave out further, at that time both Piccolo and Goku did the same as the blast began moving further towards the monster. His power began raising at a quicker pace then before as the three began pushing harder once again, from behind the creature, Vegeta led the other Z fighters into shooting powerful Ki blasts into the back of the monster, diverting some of the power.
"JUST ONE MORE PUSH GOHAN" Goku yelled as his son pushed his energy even further, before the beam collided with the creature, Vegeta, Yamcha, Krillon and Tien moved at a fast speed to escape the destruction pathway. They watched as the monster was engulfed by the giant Kamahamaha wave then felt the ground shake from underneath. Dust particles flew everywhere as the three on the opposite side of the explosion braced themselves.
Eventually it all cleared, Gohan stood in the middle with a happy look upon his face as he slowly collapsed onto the ground. Everything appeared to become slower as both Piccolo and Goku rushed to the Childs side. Gohan out stretched his arm and placed his hand on his father's cheek, still he had a smile upon his face. Vegeta and the others crowed round, hoping that the child was okay.
"I'm...sor..ry...Dad..dy.." He stuttered as his eyes became heavy under the strong light, Goku just placed one of his fingers in front of his lip whilst the boy let of a short chuckle. "Did...I...do...you...proud?"
"Of course you did my son" He whispered as a tear slid down his face. "Come on Gohan; let's get you to Dende..."
"No...it...will...be..to..late"
"What do you mean Gohan?" Piccolo called out as he knelt to the Childs side, slowly placing his hand into his.
"I..wel..come...death...with ...open...arms..." He gasped as he attempted to move his head to face Piccolo's. "Thank...you...mr...Piccolo..."
"GOHAN PLEASE" Goku called out as he brought his hand to his face.
"Tell...mu...mmy...I..love..." The Childs hand fell from his father's face whilst his eyes remained open however were calm. Tears slipped from all their eyes as Gohan's face became covered in his father's tears.
"GOOHHAAANNN" The man screamed as he began shaking the cold child. He felt a firm hand fall onto his shoulders whilst he looked at his own son. "WAAKKEE UPPP"
"It's too late Kakarot; the boy has died an honourable saiyan death." Vegeta said glumly as he lowered his head to pay respect to the child, in his arms was the body of his own lifeless child.
"What about the Dragonballs?" Krillon cried out "We can wish him back."
Without saying another word, all grabbed onto the crying Goku as he used the instant transmission. The next thing they knew, they were all in front of Dende and Mr Popo. Already they had the Dragonballs assembled in front of them and within ten minutes they called for Shenron. Goku cradled over his son's body as he released his tears, whilst the others attempted to hide their own tears.
"We wish for everyone killed by cell to be brought back to life" Dende called out, hoping it will work, from the corner of his eyes he watched as the lifeless and cold body of Trunks slowly move, within seconds he sat up, his eyes moved over to Gohan's which still seemed lifeless.
"Why isn't Gohan alive?" Goku cried out as more tears fell from his eyes. "WISH FOR HIM TO COME BACK"
"Son Gohan was not killed by cell." The dragon called out bluntly. "Your second wish?"
"We wish for Son Gohan to be brought back from death"
The dragon's eyes emitted the familiar looking golden glow as they suddenly went dim; all turned their heads to the child who was still apparently lifeless. "It is against my power to grant your wish."
"WHY NOT" The full blooded saiyan screamed out, his hands over his sons face as more tears drained from within his face. "WHY CAN'T YOU BRING MY SON BACK"
"Son Gohan is still alive."

Authors note
Now that was it, I hope you have enjoyed. Gohan's still not dead yet and my torture continues on the next chapter, why does he seem dead you may ask? Well you will just have to wait and figure out, or you can review and ask, then I will answer in a private message if you want the little spoiler.
I'm rather proud I haven't rushed his death yet. It just doesn't seem right for him dying in the first chapter or the second. Maybe it might be alright in the third, who knows; maybe I'm not ready to kill him of just yet.
Now I now Goku seems a bit out of character but he's just lost his only son and doesn't know about Chi Chi being preggers yet. Any questions about this fanfiction feel free to ask and I will answer them to the best of my ability
Cheers my readers, please review,
Gohan-to-the-max
