Chapter two: Awakening
A few days later Gohan came into consciousness. He felt tired and disoriented after the battle with cell. Cell! Gohan's mind screamed as he shot up in the bed he was in, sending daggers of pain through his broken body. Did I kill Cell? Where am I? More and more questions bombarded his mind until Gohan fell back asleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Later that day Gohan's eyes opened once again. When they came into focus the first thing he saw was seven girls staring at him. Gohan tried to sit up but fire rippled down his spine, forcing Gohan to lay back with a small moan. A girl with short blue hair and blue eyes began to speak.
"You shouldn't strain yourself kid, your arms are broken and your body is in shock.'" She said kindly. Just then another girl, this one with what looked like blonde meatballs holding up two pigtails on her head spoke up.
"Kid, what happened?" she said in a concerned tone.
"Serena!" The blue haired girl scolded, "Let the boy rest! He can tell us when he's better!"
"Well sorry Ami, I was only wondering who did this to him so we can be prepared if he attacks again," Serena said sullenly.
"Ooh, meatball head's got a strategy, somebody pinch me, I think I'm dreaming." A black haired girl teased while a younger girl, this one with pink hair, walked up to Gohan. This one looks my age. He thought, amazed by the other girl's behavior.
"Ignore those two," She said, motioning towards the black haired girl and Serena, who were now absorbed in a fight, "my, name's Rini, can you tell me your name?"
"Gohan." He said so quietly that you would have to strain your ears to make it out on a summer night. However quiet Gohan's voice was, the words were heard, they the Sailor Senshi couldn't make out what he had said but the girls heard him.
"What did he say?" Ami asked in amazement.
"I said, my name. is Gohan." He replied, a little louder so the girls could understand him.
"See Ami?!" Serena said triumphantly, "He can too talk! Now Gohan, can you tell us what happened to you?" Gohan didn't reply, he had fallen unconscious once again from the strain of talking.
That night Gohan had a nightmare. He was back in the Cell games and his father was fighting Cell. He cried out as Cell charged an attack, aimed for Goku. The energy beam hit true and killed him on the spot. When Gohan began to cry, he lifted his hands to wipe away the tears. To his horror, Gohan's hands weren't his, they were Cell's. He raised his head to be face to face with a blonde boy in a blue gi charging up an energy blast that would kill him. The boy was Gohan himself. As the blast charged, the boy spoke, his voice heavy with contempt and hatred "You killed my dad, now it's your turn Cell." The Cell-Gohan backed up, tears running down his green and black cheeks. "No I didn't," He said with Cell's cold voice, "Cell killed him, it wasn't me." By then the other Gohan had charged his attack and sent it whirling at him. The blue ball of light hit Gohan full on and his body screamed in pain as he felt himself slipping away from life.
Gohan shot up in the bed he was in, screaming. The splints on his arms lay in a ruined pile of wood on the floor and the cloth his head was wrapped in had unraveled in his nightmare. Despite his seemingly welcome surroundings, Gohan shook uncontrolably and looked around the room as if expecting to find Cell, waiting in the darkness to kill him.
Serena awoke to the sound of Gohan's scream. She was in the guest bedroom next to Gohan. She put on a dark green fuzzy bathrobe and quietly entered the darkened room. She saw Gohan sitting in the bed, or at least she thought it was Gohan. His black hair and eyes were replaced by blonde hair that stood on end and blue eyes, but the most striking thing was that he was glowing as he looked around the room wildly. Gohan's blue eyes laid upon Serena, in the dark he could only make out the green robe and mistook her for Cell.
"I thought you were dead, Cell," He said with a cold voice, "well, even though you survived my attack last time, you won't get away this time, not after what you did to my dad." With that he began charging up a very large blast while Serena let out and ear-piercing scream. Gohan heard this and let the orb disappear as his power level dropped down back to normal. Gohan lay back in the bed and passed out from weariness and fright from what he had almost done to Serena. Serena on the other hand ran to a phone and called Ami and the other scouts to tell about what Gohan had almost done.
