Author's Note: So you want something new, huh? Well, I got one for you! I have seen a lot of stories where Son Gohan loses his memory, but what would happen if he lost it only days away from the Cell Games? Well, I wrote a fanfic answering that question. When Son Gohan suddenly disappears, Son Goku and the Z-Senshi desperately search for the boy, all knowing of Son Gohan's hidden powers. Unfortunately, Cell is out there and is also looking for Son Gohan. The big question is who will find Son Gohan first? Find out in my new chapter story 'Desperate Search'! Well, here it goes...

Desperate Search
Chapter 1-The Attack
As Okaasan shifted through the groceries that she had just bought, she noticed that she had forgotten to buy some things. "Oh dear! The items I need must have slipped my mind as I was writing the grocery list!" She looked at her list and confirmed her suspicions. "Yup, I was right!" she got up from where she was sitting and walked over to the doorway by the stairs. "Gohan-chan! I need you to do a chore for me! Would you please come here?" Okaasan called up the stairs, her voice carrying itself to my room.
"Coming, Okaasan!" I shouted back, quickly shutting the book I was working in. I ran down the stairs and to her side to see what she wanted.
"Gohan-chan, I want you to go and pick up some things for me. I neglected to write down some spices I need for tonight's dinner, therefore I didn't buy them. Be a good boy and go purchase them for me. Here's some money." She handed me a bundle of money after explaining the situation.
"Hai, Okaasan! Hey, what's for dinner tonight?" I asked with a playful tone.
"Oh, you!" she chuckled as she gently ran her fingers through my spiky, golden hair. "I'm not telling! It's a surprise!"
"Aww, Okaasan! You can tell me!" I playfully whined.
"Iie. You'll find out at dinnertime!" she told me.
"Okay. Here I go! I'll be back soon!" I promised Okaasan as I ran out of the house and pushed off.
"Ja ne, Gohan-chan! Hurry back!" she called and waved.
I paused, turned, and returned the wave, then flew off. I happily soared through the warm air in the direction of the village that I had met Lime...
Not so far away... (Cell's POV)
'Well, a strong chi! And it's all by itself! I could have fun with this one!' I excitedly thought to myself, my interest spiked.
Before I sensed this new chi, I was lazily resting in the shadows of a dark forest. I even remembered yawning with boredom. When I picked up a powerful chi, I immediately became excited. My heart (if I had one) sped up at the prospect of a fight. 'It has been so long since I've fought someone!' my thoughts, just as excited as I was, ran through my head. Then I remembered the whole reason I hadn't fought for so long. 'It's because of that damned Son Goku that I haven't been able to kill. He forbid me to kill or even fight until the Cell Games! How dare he?!' I smugly thought. Then I felt a sudden wave of rage wash over me and I clenched my fists in anger. 'I'll show him! I won't show any mercy with this opponent!' Thoroughly enraged, I rocketed toward the chi...
Unaware of the impending danger, I scanned the land below me, searching for the village. "Let's see...I should almost be there!" my mind scoured my memories for the location of Lime's village. "There it is!" I exclaimed as I spotted the familiar small village. "Huh?" It was then that I picked up a very powerful and evil chi heading in...my direction! Demo, who? Doshite (why)? I haven't done anything! Suddenly too scared to find a place to hide, I froze. My fear grew when I saw who had arrived...Cell!
Cell's POV:
I was shocked when I realized that the chi I had felt was a child's. 'How could a CHILD have that much power?' I thought with disbelief. Then I got a closer look at the boy.
The boy was no older than eleven-years-old and had a striking resemblance to Son Goku. He was wearing a purple fighting gi and a strange white cape. Namekian clothes, I recalled, remembering my fight with Piccolo, who had on the same clothing as this boy. The boy wasn't tall, yet he wasn't short either. He was also very muscular for his age, showing that he was indeed a fighter. The factors that made me think of Son Goku were the boy's spiky, golden hair and vibrant green eyes. Was this child Super Saiya-jin?
Growing frustrated that I couldn't figure out any answers to my questions, I demanded, "Who are you?"
The child seemed scared out of his wits of me, even if he were a fighter. He opened his mouth to answer, but nothing would come out. After several tries, he managed only to stutter, "I...I...I..."
Becoming slightly annoyed with the boy's lack of words, I yelled, "C'mon! Spit it out! I am not THAT intimidating, am I?"
All the child could do was stammer...
'Why is HE here? What have I done? I'm so scared!' "I...I...I..." I continued to stutter, unable to say anything else, at least nothing intelligent.
"Bozu, you better spit it out because I don't have all day and I am growing impatient!" Cell lowered his voice to a dangerous and threatening tone. Becoming desperate, I decided to force the words out.
"My name...is...Son Gohan," I managed to choke out.
He suddenly twitched, demo, about what, I was unsure. "Son Gohan? Are you related to Son Goku?" he asked, quietly.
'What's wrong with him? Why does he want to know?' my thoughts questioned. I wasn't sure I wanted to answer this time. Seeing my unwillingness to answer, he put on a dangerous glare, making me realize that I had no choice.
"Hai. I'm...his...son." Again, I barely got the words out. His eyes flickered with rage at my answer and it was then that I knew I was in trouble...
Cell's POV:
'So, this boy is Son Goku's son!' I thought as another wave of rage passed over me. Then a cruel sneer crossed my face. 'What a perfect way to get back at Son Goku! I'll just hurt, maybe even kill his son...'
'I don't like the look of that sneer Cell has. What does he plan to do?' I thought as I waited for him to speak again. After several unnerving moments, he spoke again.
"So, I have found Son Goku's son. What are you doing out here all alone? You should know that I am everywhere watching everything. Why are you here?"
"I...I'm here...to get...groceries for...my Okaasan." I still stumbled on words.
"Oh?" he coolly asked.
"Hai. Please let me pass. I haven't done anything." I started to beg for him to leave me alone. I was terrified of him and I just wanted to get away from him. Instead of moving aside or leaving, he remained where he was. He laughed as I tried to get by him and as he blocked my way each time.
"Oh, Son Gohan, you are not going anywhere! You see, I am dreadfully bored without anyone to kill and I need to fight someone. As long as I don't kill anyone, I am keeping Son Goku's wishes, and am free to fight. And yet, am I tired of following Son Goku's orders. I need to kill someone. You, Son Gohan, are my target," his voice got horrifyingly low, demo, it rose as he began to laugh, sinisterly.
At his statement to kill me, I grew extremely scared. 'There is no way I can defend myself against this monster! I AM going to DIE!' my thoughts screamed. As he shifted into an offensive stance, I cowered.
"C'mon, Son Gohan! I know you are stronger than that! I felt your chi! You can fight me!" Cell cackled at my fearful form. "I can't believe you are too afraid to fight! You are at least part Saiya-jin, so must LOVE to fight! It's in your blood! C'mon!" he taunted, fiercely.
I only shrank back more as he advanced toward me. As he launched an attack against me, I was forced to take a defensive stance.
"C'mon, fight me! This is boring!" Cell continued to taunt, growing mad at me for not fighting back.
"Iie," I curtly replied, further enraging him. 'That comment and the way I said it will probably cost me my life!' I realized.
"That's it then! SHINE! KAMEHAMEHAAA!" he screamed and shot off a small, yet powerful KameHameHa wave at me.
I cried out in surprise as it sped with amazing celerity towards me. I threw my arms up and tried to protect myself. It hit me full-force and sent me plummeting towards the earth below as it followed my falling form. My forehead hit a stray rock formation and a flash of white obscured my vision. My body crashed into the ground and I felt the blast hit me for the final time. I let out a scream and was quickly swallowed by a world of darkness...
Cell's POV:
I watched gleefully as I watched blast hit the young Saiya-jin hybrid. It forced him to fall and it followed him as he fell. When the boy slammed into the ground, the blast hit and exploded. The scream produced was also a pleasing sound. Temporarily blinding me, I closed my eyes. When I opened them, I saw Son Gohan's hair fade to apparently its natural black color and his chi fall until I could no longer feel it. With a triumphant laugh, I took one last look at Son Gohan's still body and flew off. My task was complete...
Next Desperate Search: Lime and her ojiisan discover the hurt Son Gohan and take him home to help heal him. Not recognizing the wounded boy with the raven-colored hair, Lime and her ojiisan have to wait until the boy awakens to find out. But when the boy awakens, they discover he is hurt a lot more than they expected...

What do you think of my new chapter story? Please review and tell me! Thanks to all that 'voted' in my small poll about POVs. As you can see, this story will have more than one POV, but as I told you before, it will basically be through Son Gohan's eyes (I really can get into his POV best, as you know). Well, off to write Chapter 2. As you will see on FF.Net, this story will have at least three chapters up on the first day! Ja!
