Goku's Secret

Fate... That's what had brought them here...

NO!!!! thought Gohan to himself. It wasn't fate. It was his will power. All of their will power and hard training... and now it was being tested. Cell.... Cell was holding his ridiculous tournament...

A flashback entered his mind.... It was the hyperbolic time chamber.... His father had discoverd his hidden power.... Cell.... Damn him!! Cell had exposed his hidden power... At the cost of his own father! That thought alone infuriated him. It also gave him a good ki burst as his one armed Kamehameha energy attack advaced a bit further.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw Trunks down on the ground. His heart pierced. laying down in a pool of blood... his own blood. He saw Cell's ki blast closing in on him.

"Gohan!!"

Gohan quickly scanned his sourroundings and found no one except his friends. The voice he'd had heard was that of his father. Goku...

Gohan could hear Cell's voice taunting him. Cell's blast got closer to him... then everything went black...

Gohan lay on the ground blacked out, he awoke to find his father standing in front of him.

Goku!

He was back! Gohan stood up and looked up to his father. Goku turned to look at his son. He flashed Gohan a quick smile

Gohan smiled back, but was confused

"Cell!" Goku yelled.

Cell floated toward him and landed a few feet in front of him. "What?" he replied.

Goku sighed "Well.... I know somone who is stronger than Gohan." he said "I wasn't suppose to tell you this, but since Gohan isn't much of a fight anymore, I think you could use a better opponent."

Cell quickly nodded

"OK follow me, everyone come on!"

"Wait!"

"We have a little problem...." Yamcha announced

"What is it?" Goku cried impatiently

"While you were gone, Cell blasted Trunks in the heart."

Goku rushed over to Trunk's fallen body. He took a senzu bean from Krillin and held it to Trunk's mouth. "Trunks can you hear me?"

All Goku got in reply was groan. He put the senzu bean in his mouth and told him to chew. Trunks chewed on the senzu bean and swallowed it. The bean's curing abilities kicked in.

Trunks got up and thanked Goku "Thanks man, I needed that!"

"No sweat." replied Goku. "Krillin give a senzu bean to Gohan, Vegeta, and.....to Cell."

"Ok Goku." answered his friend.

Gohan chewed on his senzu bean while Vegeta struggled to get up.

Cell said he'd save his senzu bean. Out of the corner of his eye Goku saw him eat it.

All the while Gohan had thought about what Goku had said. Can there really be someone stronger than me? If there is I gotta meet him!
