You know what's weird? I get off of school for a while and think I can update more often and then take a four day break…ok so I had family over and then I decided to work on my joint fic…meh, lets have some review responses.

Reviews:

Super saiyan 4 chichi: first off, I know it was pinkish red in the series but I didn't like that colour. That and considering its ssj4 and it ties in with none of the other SSJ transformations kinda made me to change it. Plus I've heard that ssj4 was coloured wrong… either way, this version of that transformation is more of a cross between regular saiyan and oozaru in appearance so I got rid of the red fur and changed it to brown. Pretty sure I mentioned this in the chapter I had Goku transform in…
next is about this hell thing. I'm not religious so I'm basing it on what I saw in the series. And since hell looked totally different in GT then it did in Z I decided to explain it with different levels. HFIL is an intro level and check in level and everything below is where the real torturing takes place. But the really good thing about my version is that because the demons are tied to hell, they can shape it how they want. If they want to torment their victims with fire and brimstone then they can! Anybodies version of hell can happen in mine, as long as it doesn't throw out my order and only in small sections depending on the demons power. Does that make sense?

Rejhan: glad you liked. Cell and Frieza staying in hell kinda annoyed me too. I mean its hell. Why would they want to stay there? So when planning this I thought that Frieza and Cell would prefer to break out and start a new world order with the others, knowing that Goku would be stuck in hell going through what they did. Almost like the ultimate revenge, kinda.

Psy: thanks! Most people seemed to like it. I ended up thinking of hell the most for some reason… I have a few ideas for heaven as well but I mostly did hell. And glad I caught your attention :)

Erica: um…well Trunks is kinda the same guy as Mirai Trunks…just slightly more panicky. But I sort of know what you mean. And yea, Frieza is mad. Getting sent to hell by Mirai hasn't really helped him to relax, ya know?

Son Oliver: yep, Goku's an idiot and that's what I've been building him up for. He needed to get over confident, maybe a little OOC but a power boost as strong as SSJ4 and being turned into a kid (even if for a little while) and still being the strongest in the universe would probably go to anyone's head. So I had a plan! Besides Goku being a total do gooder that is…
but you're about to find another thing blocking Goku from getting out the normal way. And you'll have to wait and see with super 17. (Why's it always super anyway…?)

Chico: yep, Goten got dumped and now is free. And possibly a whole lot more angry…and it seems that most people liked my hell and the little meeting. Yay! But I think I'll reframe from introducing Trunks to DG…that might be a bad idea. And funny that you made that comparison: Raven is my favourite Teen titan…

Kinoha: thank you! –Bows- and here is the update!

Trugeta: I'll see what I can do but of course the fights here will be way shorter then the first time these guys fight, for obvious reasons. And looks like you're going to find out what she'll do. I've had good inspiration on that part. (Check out the soul by UnromanticPoetress. She's good for anyone who's mad at Goku and actually breaks him pretty easily…plus she's good at writing Vegeta.)

Any way, on with the story!

Chapter 20: torment.

Gohan faced Cell with an unfamiliar smirk on his face. Cell didn't even flinch.

"You know Gohan, I'm glad that we are doing this. I can now dish out all of the years of torment you sentenced me to by sending me to hell." The bio-android commented calmly. Gohan shook his head.

"You sentenced yourself to that Cell. I only finished you off." The demi replied. Cell growled.

"You may say that but the truth is that it's your fault! I've been stuck in the depths of hell for so long with your face mocking me! Now I'll repay you for it!" Cell cried and powered up. After occupying hell for so long violence, torture and anguish was all he knew, just like all the other hell fighters. That was why they were all tormenting the living and not escaping or hiding whilst they had a chance.

"You did it to yourself Cell. The way I remember it you were hurting my friends and dad just to make me power up and face you. You couldn't handle it when I did and therefore did it to yourself. And now it looks like you're going to make me send you back." Gohan replied coolly. Cell snarled at this.

"You were the one that sentenced me to hell and for that you'll pay!" Cell screamed and lunged straight for the demi-saiyan, his aura bursting out in golden sparks as he did so. But as Cell thrust his fist forward, Gohan moved ever so slightly to the right far too fast for the android to see. Cell stared in shock as he looked at Gohan. The now full-grown boy looked as if he had just popped into the position without even moving and now he was smirking.

"You brought this onto yourself." Gohan said confidently, before smashing his fist into Cell's face.

The android was sent flying for seemingly miles before he could even begin to slow down. When Cell finally did stop, Gohan was waiting over him with his fists laced together above his head. Gohan brought them down hard onto Cell's skull, sending the android straight down and deep into the earth where he then lay broken and battered. To Cell, there was just no way that Gohan could have gotten that powerful. It was inconceivable that the once innocent Gohan could dish out that much pain to him with out even powering it. But of course Cell didn't know about mystic…

Gohan frowned down at Cell and brought his hands calmly to his sides so that his palms were connected. A small energy ball quickly grew there.

"Kamehameha!" Gohan yelled and fired the wave directly at Cell, making a direct hit with the android and leaving a massive wound in the land. Gohan smiled as he surveyed his handy work. That first punch had hit Cell clear out of the city and now Gohan had destroyed the bio-android in record timing.

"Might have over done it a little there." Gohan thought to himself and then flew back to the others.

Trunks effortlessly dodged all of Frieza's frantic attacks. The tyrant was getting ever more fearful with every missed attack and Trunks had yet to go super.

"Hold still!" the tyrant demanded as he feinted a right hook and firing a blast from his left instead. Trunks dodged and deflected easily and then allowed Frieza to hit him hard across the jaw. Frieza's lips twisted into a triumphant smirk that was quickly washed away by the look on the demi-saiyan's face. It was one of disappointment.

"I thought you guys were supposed to be strong." He commented and Frieza started to back away in fear.

"Wh…what are you?" Frieza asked fearfully and Trunks rolled his eyes.

"I thought you knew this. You were one of the guys Goku and my dad fought, right? I would have thought you'd have known about saiyans." He commented. Frieza glared.

"Don't mock me, boy." Frieza snarled and Trunks stared at him blankly.

"Fine, it's about time I sent you back anyway."

Frieza's eyes widened at this and soon found Trunk's fist slamming into his nose. Frieza began to fall backwards but Trunks began to start punching and kicking the lizard king in every available spot on the chest and gut. Trunks then gave Frieza one final round house and bent his arm round his back, blasting Frieza from there all the way back to whence he came.

The saibamen and the Cell Juniors had caught up with the humans and now were tormenting them in anyway they could think of. Several of the saibamen had started climbing on some and pulling their hair whilst the others chased and blasted so that the humans would get even more terrified.

One saibaman was having a nice 'piggy back' ride on a human man, pulling on the man's moustache and hair, when suddenly something kicked him off and sent him flying into another saibaman. Blasts followed closely and the saibamen returned to the other world.

Goten smirked at his handy work and then turned to the Cell juniors. Each and everyone went blue in the face and began to run away but Goten quickly blasted them. He then turned to the humans.

"You guys all right?" he asked. All of the humans nodded but then seemed to pale a few shades as they spotted something behind Goten.

"What is it?" he asked, looking totally clueless before a china-white hand suddenly clamped itself onto his mouth and another arm and two legs bound him so that he couldn't move.

What the-? Goten thought before a crazed, robotic voice began to speak.

"Foolish boy! You should have kept your guard up! Now your energy is mine!" the voice of android 19 proclaimed, making Goten want to sweat drop. This guy had no idea what he was getting himself into…

But Goten could already feel some of his energy slipping away…

"I'd let go if I were you!" a new voice called out and the tubby android looked up just in time to have his head literally knocked off by a foot. His body went limp and fell off of the saiyan.

"You ok?" Uub asked as he floated down onto his feet. Goten stared over at the android in shock.

"You…tried to rescue me?" Goten asked. Uub rubbed the back of his neck.

"Well…I thought I did." The human said and Goten shook his head.

"I could handle that tub of bolts. But why did you… after I… you know…?" Goten asked and Uub shrugged.

"Right thing to do I guess. Besides, you were just mad for whatever reason at the tournament. Gohan told me about it. And I forgive you." Uub replied. Goten continued to stare at Uub in surprise, making the human feel rather uncomfortable.

"Yea…well anyway we still have a lot of work to do. There are a lot of escapees to take care of." Uub quickly said and then took off. Goten watched him.

"Wait…err…thanks, I guess." Goten called and Uub gave him a thumbs up before flying off to the next danger zone. Goten watched him go.

Guess Pan was right…I hate that. He thought, smiling and then left for the next band of villains.

Zara felt strangely calm. She knew that she hated this guy and expected that she'd be a lot angrier if she did have to see him again but for some reason she was calm. Kyaku just sneered at her.

"You know after all of the times that I was forced to see my little failure or even different versions of it I began to think that this moment will never come but then Gero gave me exactly what I needed. Now I can take back what's rightfully mine." He said. Zara's eyes narrowed but she didn't say a word.

"But of course you won't make it easy for me, now will you?" Kyaku asked and Zara crossed her arms over her chest.

"Look you, shut up already so we can finish this. You know I won't just cross over to your side so why bother with the chitchat? Lets just get this over with." She said coolly and Kyaku laughed.

"You are truly like your parents, all business. Fine then, as you wish." He said and then rushed forward to punch Zara in the gut. Zara doubled over but then quickly brought up her head to head butt Kyaku and then spin kicked him backwards. Kyaku quickly recovered and just in time for Zara to punch him across the jaw and blast him backwards.

He laughed as he wiped away some blood from his lip.

"Your technique has improved as has your strength." He commented. Zara didn't answer him and continued her attack with several swipes to his head. Kyaku dodged most but ended up being hit across the jaw and on the nose.

"But there is something that seems to have regressed. I sense that your mental shields aren't as strong as last time we met. You haven't been getting enough focus on them." He noted and Zara kneed him in the chest.

"They're strong enough." She said coolly but Kyaku disagreed.

"Really? Strange, if that were true then Bebi never would have gotten you. I heard what happened." He informed her Zara floated back and he continued.

"How do you expect to even get close to your true potential if you don't train that aspect as well? That's where your powers lie. It looks like you really do need me, not just to release what's hidden from you but also to show you how to use it."

Zara growled at him and clenched her fists.

"Right, and the price for that will be what? My friends' lives? No way, I can handle it by myself!" she exclaimed and disappeared from view. Kyaku sneered but that was quickly replaced with a pained look when Zara appeared in front of him with her foot glowing brightly with energy that sliced right through him. Zara narrowed her eyes and swung her foot round to slice him five more times before blasting him away.

"You're the last person I need help from." She muttered and then went out to find the others.

Vegeta wondered the streets of a panic bound West city. He had met up and then parted ways with his daughter and Pan, allowing them to go off and help Hercule to go and kill some of the red ribbon members. Now he was trying to find some of the stronger escapees to fight but judging by his senses they had already ran into Gohan and the others.

Typical. He thought, slightly disappointed that he didn't get to blast Frieza back to hell.

Vegeta found himself having to stop as a blast came soaring out of an alleyway. It exploded as it impacted a car and left all of the nearby people to run away in fear. Vegeta stared at the car and then turned his gaze back to the large figure walking out of the alley.

Vegeta's mouth twitched as he stared closely at his former lackey and guardian, the saiyan general Nappa.

Nappa sneered at the car and didn't even notice the other saiyan until the prince coughed loudly and purposefully. This startled the general and he quickly turned round to see his prince.

"P-prince V-Vegeta." He stammered and then quickly recovered.

"Yes, Nappa, its me. And it seems that you haven't changed much since going to hell." Vegeta commented as he eyed the burning car. Nappa glanced at the car again and then looked back at Vegeta.

"I'm surprised to see you here, Vegeta, thought you'd be somewhere else taking over from Frieza, unless the rumours are true…" Nappa said, either ignoring or not realising what Vegeta had said.

"And what would these rumours be?" Vegeta asked. Nappa folded his arms casually across his chest.

"That you had settled down with a weakling human and had gotten soft. But of course I never believed that. Those rumours had to have been someone's idea of a bad joke." Nappa replied and laughed. Vegeta's eyes narrowed.

"I have settled down and with a human onna." He said bluntly, making Nappa gasp but he wasn't done.

"But if that is considered going soft, as well as reaching the pinnacle of a saiyan's power," he transformed into a super saiyan, "means that I am 'soft' then I'd have to disagree."

Nappa nearly fell backwards as he took in Vegeta's transformation.

"Wow, Vegeta! This is amazing! You should come join us! This power would be a huge help for when we take over this world! Come on, what do ya say?" Nappa asked. Vegeta smirked.

"As I said, you haven't changed. But I have so I'm going to have to send you back now. No hard feelings." Vegeta said calmly. Nappa went bug eyed as he stared at Vegeta.

"What? Not again…!" he started but Vegeta blasted him away.

"Shame, I wanted more of a challenge." Vegeta muttered as clapping reached his ears. The prince turned his head only slightly to get a good look at the three figures on the rooftop on the other side of the street. It was Gero, Myuu and artificial 17.

"Very well done Vegeta," Gero begun, " you just proved that you haven't grown as soft as people like to believe. How about we now give you a proper challenge to make up for that weak saiyan?"

Vegeta stared calmly at each of the men and powered back down to his normal form.

"You'll give me a challenge? Don't make me laugh. You were not even worth my breath the last time we met. Now I have far surpassed the level I was at then so what makes you so sure that you'll be a challenge now, old man?" he asked. Gero smirked.

"Not me. I have something new that will put you in your place. I am just waiting for the last components. Then artificial 17 here will be the strongest being in the universe. You can entertain yourself with him in the mean time but if you destroy him then you will never get the challenge that your saiyan nature craves." The doctor explained, earning a questioning glance from Myuu. Vegeta smirked.

"I doubt that. Your androids don't pack the same punch as they used to. But I may as well play along with your little delusion. It may amuse me." He replied. Gero smirked back.

"It is refreshing to see that you haven't changed all that much, Vegeta." Gero commented and then signalled artificial 17 to go forward. The android did as he was told and jumped down from the building to face Vegeta properly. Vegeta swept his eyes down his opponent and then smirked.

"Impressive. I didn't think that it was that easy to get parts where you were." He commented. Gero smirked proudly down on his creation and then the fight began.

Goku frowned as he stared at the smiling face of his tormentor.

"What are you going to do?" he asked as he watched DG. She took to the air and then descended down on a nearby rock formation that quickly turned into a large leather armchair.

"Oh, anything I can think of really. Normally I do mental and physical torture, mental being my specialty. For most of my charges I just need to show you destroying them in a million different ways. Others I just need to dangle their goals in arms reach but they can never achieve them. Then for people like Frieza I just have to strip away their powers and have rebellion pursue them. Having the saiyans get rid of Frieza that way was especially entertaining." She explained. Goku continued to watch her closely.

"What are you going to do?" he repeated and in answer the demon girl smiled sickly sweet at him.

"Well let's see, shall we?" she asked. And Goku's vision went black.

At first nothing happened and Goku doubted that DG was being serious about the torture part but then her voice filled his head.

"Oh, this will be good. Probably too easy as well…" she commented and then his vision cleared up but he wasn't in hell.

Instead of the dark sky and spiked rock formations were a clear blue sky and his home. Gohan and Goten were standing in the front garden along with the rest of Goku's family.

Didn't they leave? Goku asked himself and then noticed some figures coming towards the group in the air. Gohan was the first to spot them and went to meet them along with Goten. They were Bebi and the machine mutants that Goku had taken out during his little space mission, including general Rilldo – a mutant that had a power over metal.

"Now pay close attention, you're about to find out how unprepared your little friends are."

Goku looked confused and continued to watch, unable to pull away.

But they are prepared…they've been training… he thought. Laughter filled his head.

"Yes but to what results? Only Vegeta has reached level three, the others are all on level two and your youngest son only managed to go to the third level once because he was angry. Furious even. They aren't ready. Just watch and see." DG's voice taunted in his head and Goku complied.

Gohan charged Rilldo in mystic form and swiped at the general's head. Rilldo ducked under the swipe and vanished from view, appearing behind Gohan and firing a blast at the scholar's back. Gohan turned round just in time to watch it come sailing towards him. His eyes widened as he was hit and rapidly his skin turned to metal, encasing him in a metallic prison.

"NO! Gohan!" Goku cried but could only watch helplessly as his eldest son fell to the ground and shattered into a million pieces.

"Gohan was the most experienced and the strongest of the younger fighters and he still doesn't stand a chance against your old enemies." DG's voice commented and Goku was then forced to stare at his youngest son, Goten.

"If Gohan doesn't stand a chance then how much do you think he does? Or the others for that matter? With you gone they're as good as dead." DG commented as Goten attacked Rilldo.

The general laughed and moved a side just as Bebi shot forwards in liquid form, hitting Goten's face hard and pouring into his mouth and any other possible way in. Goten began to shake and quiver in the air for a long moment before he finally began to laugh and the last image Goku saw from this scene was the house and surrounding land exploding, flames licking the blackening sky.

"Maybe if you stuck with the idea of passing the role of earth's hero then maybe you could have prepared them all better and this could have been averted."

The scene changed to high above West city. Kyaku, Cell and Frieza were all flying far above when Uub, Trunks and Zara appeared to meet them. Each of the warriors paired off to begin facing each other.

Zara was fighting Kyaku. She threw punch after punch at the warlord but he dodged everyone. He ducked under her final punch and grabbed her by the throat. Zara tried to break free but was unable to, clearly unable to breath. Kyaku laughed madly and then brought her up close so that his forehead was against hers. He sneered and a moment later it looked like she was being forced to power up, her eyes glowing a blood red and her violent red aura ripping up the landscape below as she continued to scream in pain.

Trunks halted his fight with Cell as he noticed this happening.

"Zara!" he yelled and quickly flung himself towards them to save the girl but suddenly it were as if he slammed into a brick wall. Trunks couldn't get any closer to them and the next thing he knew, a searing pain course through his head and Goku was forced to watch as the young prince convulsed under the mental attack and was then sent plummeting to the ground, blood streaming from his eyes as his breathing ceased.

"Trunks!" Goku called and then spotted Uub being held tightly by Frieza as Cell continuously drove his fist into the young human's gut.

"Then again the last time you tried to give them the chance to be the hero you messed it up. You have a problem with making bad choices."

The scene changed again and this time he was on a cliff staring down at a fight. Beside him were the rest of the Z fighters: Piccolo, Tien, Vegeta, Mirai Trunks, Krillen and Yamcha and then someone who wasn't a member of the Z gang, a brown haired woman with blue eyes that wore a slightly amused look. Everyone else looked horrified at what was going on below.

Goku then turned to get a good look at the fight. An eleven-year-old Gohan was facing Cell. Cell fired several beams from his finger that Gohan dodged but after he dodged the last one, Cell appeared behind him and wrapped him up in a tight bear hug. He then began to squeeze and it was obvious that the boy was in incredible pain.

Pain from an android that Goku had given a senzu bean to.

Pain from the android that Goku had made Gohan then fight.

"You're wrong Goku!" it was Piccolo. Goku looked round at the Namek to stare at the angry green face in front of him.

"Gohan doesn't like fighting like you! Does he know what you expect him to become? Did you tell him any of this? Do you know what he is thinking right now? I'll tell you! He's wondering why his father is just looking on while he's suffering. He must be hurt to realize that you're more concerned about the fight rather than his life. Remember this! Even if he is the strongest fighter, he's still just a child!"

Goku could only stare in disbelief as those words sunk in. he had nearly forgotten this…

"You seem to make a lot of bad choices when it comes to your family. All you seem to do is hurt them and nearly always because you fight or train or because that is all you want to care about. "

The scene changed again and this time he was watching himself with Chichi three years before the cell games.

"So you're saying that you stayed in space for so long because you wanted to learn a new technique?" she asked. She was sitting in a dinning room chair with her back to her husband. Goku could clearly see some tears in her eyes that he missed before.

"Yea Chichi…it was important." The other Goku admitted, with a hint of guilt in his voice. Goku watched the younger version of his wife wipe away a tear as she stifled a sob.

"Oh…I understand I just didn't know if you were alive…or…dead or injured. You just refused to come back. I didn't know what to think…" she said quietly and wiped away another tear. The other Goku sighed and placed a hand on his wife's shoulder.

"I'm sorry Chichi, but it was really important." He said again. Chichi wiped her eyes and then gave him a strained smile.

"Its ok, you're here now. You better hurry, Piccolo and Gohan are waiting for you." She said softly. Goku nodded and made his way to the door.

"Just, Goku, please don't let anything happen to Gohan. He nearly died, twice, and I couldn't bear it if it happened again." She told her husband, her eyes pleading with him. He nodded.

"I promise Chichi." He said and left. Chichi watched the door carefully as she allowed her tears to fall freely down her face.

"A promise you broke." the voice mocked and the scene changed again, this time to eleven years ago when he left with Uub at the budokai.

"So you're just leaving?" Chichi asked from her spot in the box room. All of the others that weren't competing seemed shocked by what he had just said so casually.

"But you can't…what about us?" she asked, a mixture of surprise, anger and sadness filled her voice. He hadn't been caring or considerate that day, he had just told his family what he was going to do and waved off all of what they had to say.

He waved it off.

"Don't worry Chi, we'll work something out later. I just have to do this." He said with that large grin on his face, not paying attention to how his wife felt.

"But Goku…" but he had already floated down to the others where he told them the same thing, that he was leaving with a perfect stranger and that he didn't know when he'll be back.

A four-year-old Pan leapt into his arms, crying and he felt the first pangs of guilt.

"Don't go, grandpa!" Pan pleaded, burying herself deep into his gi.

"I'm sorry Pan but I have to. But I'll come and visit as often as I can!" he grinned at his granddaughter who continued to burry herself in his gi.

"Another promise you broke."

He looked up at a scowling Goten.

"Why do you have to go? I mean you were only here for a small part of my life and now you're leaving? And for what? Someone you just met?" Goten glared at Uub who was still waiting in the ring.

"You break apart your family…"

"I'm sorry Goten but its something I have to do…"And then Goku's vision went black again and a few moments later he found himself kneeling on the hard, rocky floor of hell with his hands digging into the ground.

DG was standing over him smugly as she watched Goku's reactions to her little 'memory slide show'. Goku was just staring blankly at the ground as all he saw sunk in. He was shaking.

And that was only a small amount of what I have in store for him. Maybe I should move further into his pathetic family life next and see what that does to him…she thought, her lips moving into a twisted smirk.

"Ahhhh!" the battle cry rang out and DG looked up in surprise just to have a foot kick her in the face and send her flying. The foot belonged to a green man that wore white flowing robes and a weighted hat that had a long cloth wrapped round the bottom that flowed down his back.

He landed gracefully in front of Goku along with a human man that wore Greek clothing and had long, curled blonde hair.

"Olibu, check on Goku!" the green man ordered.

"Right away, Pikkon!" Olibu nodded and went to the saiyan's side.

DG threw a rock off of her and shot into the air. She glared down at the two dead warriors and made two large fireballs in her hands.

"How dare you! Do you know what you are dealing with?" she screamed but Pikkon smirked as he pulled out a piece of parchment. DG went as white as a ghost when she saw it.

"I believe I do. King Yemma informed us when he gave us these passes." Pikkon explained and then disappeared. He appeared again in front of the demon and axe kicked her down, into the midst of the frozen demons and ogres. DG moaned as she sat up and then spotted Pikkon over by a large machine. He pressed a button and a small tube turned to point at her.

"No! Don't-" she started but Pikkon had already pressed the button. The machine sprung to life and shot out a cloud of something white that hit DG directly. As the white cloud faded away, she became frozen solid and encased in ice.

"Go cool off for a while." Pikkon said and then flew back to Olibu and Goku.

"How's he doing?" he called as he approached. Olibu stared at Pikkon and shook his head.

"Not good. It's a good thing we got here when we did." Olibu commented and then turned back to Goku and shook him.

"Come on, snap out of it!" the warrior exclaimed but Goku didn't do anything. Olibu sighed and then remembered something.

"Hey Pikkon, have you got that crystal ball king Yemma gave us?" he asked. The green man nodded and tossed the ball to Olibu after fishing it out of his robes.

Olibu placed it in front of Goku and did what was needed for a picture to appear in the centre.

"Come on Goku, focus. Look what's happening down on earth." Olibu gently told the saiyan whose eyes slowly focused on the ball.

On earth the Z warriors were gathering together. After defeating the hell fighters they had paired off with they had gone about exterminating all others that they found and now they were above the centre of West city.

"Hey guys, looks like things are quieting down." Goten called as he met up with the others.

"Yea, I guess we've sorted out most of them." Trunks called as he floated over to Goten. The others were all coming in from other directions.

"I don't know, I think they've finally regained their wits and are moving out. No way could that have been all of them." Zara commented as she approached.

"Its not. I think they're all going somewhere." Gohan informed and pointed over to a group of henchmen that once belonged to Frieza that were all going further west.

"Where are they going?" Goten asked as he watched.

"I dunno, to Gero maybe? He's the one orchestrating this, right?" Gohan commented thoughtfully, "Maybe we should find the others and then go see."

"Don't bother, we're here!" Pan's voice called out and everyone turned round to see Pan, Bra and Uub flying towards them.

"Well that saves us a trip. Now where's Vegeta? Shouldn't he be out here?" Goten commented as the others joined them. Zara was the one to answer as she stared off to the west.

"Well I can sense him over there fighting…no one? That can't be right…" she muttered and the others turned to the same direction.

"He must be fighting an android. And not properly either. Guess he got bored." Gohan decided.

"Well we better go get him. Dad can't mess around with it all day." Trunks sighed and then lead the way to his father, blasting the hell fighters below along with the rest of the group.

Goku stared at the scene through the crystal ball and slowly snapped out of his stupor.

"They're alright." I still have time. He thought and then peered up at the two warriors above him.

"Looks like he's returning to us." Olibu commented and Pikkon nodded. Goku gave them both a confused glance.

"Yea…how come you guys are here?" he asked. The two dead warriors exchanged a glance.

"Not all that long ago all of the feeds through the crystal balls monitoring this place just blanked out. No one knew what was happening in hell. Some of the ogres in charge of surveillance alerted king Yemma who told the Grand kai who sent us here to check it out." Pikkon explained. Goku nodded.

"Ok, that makes sense I guess. But how come you beat that little demon so easily? I couldn't even touch her!" he asked.

"Simple. Grand kai gave us magical passes that stop hell from feeding off of us and gets rid of any demons power over us. She could only beat you down here because she's linked to hell. She can't die unless hell is destroyed, just like all of the other demons down here." Olibu explained.

"Well that seems kinda silly…those demons have so much power and they can't even die, why would the kais give them so much power?" Goku asked, his head racing.

"They didn't. They made hell to punish all the bad and evil souls and the demons were just a side effect, just as the angels were in heaven. The demons were evil but the kais decided to let them keep their powers as long as they take the role of the punishers. That and they're only so strong here in this level. Anywhere else and they'd become weaker and quickly die. Of course that doesn't mean that they won't be dangerous if they ever got out of hell." Pikkon explained. Goku nodded slowly, not completely understanding but that didn't really matter, hell wasn't supposed to make sense as far as he knew. Besides, he had more important things to worry about.

"So how do you plan on getting me out of here?" Goku asked. The two warriors exchanged nervous glances.

"Well…" Olibu began.

"Its not simple. In fact next to impossible. We don't even know how the hellions broke out so we can't get you out that way and then I don't think there is any other way out for you." Pikkon finished.

"But what about the staircase up to Yemma's desk? Or those passes?" Goku asked, frantic now. He had to go save his friends…

"We didn't know you were down here or else we would have brought a third pass for you so you can't get out that way and then there's the barrier…" Olibu said calmly. Goku raised a brow.

"What barrier?" he asked.

"The barrier that stops the demons from getting out and anything living from getting past." Pikkon explained. Goku rubbed his temples.

"Wait, what?" he asked. The dead warriors exchanged another glance and Pikkon was then forced to answer.

"There are living things around here that may fall into hell. Like angels. A millennia ago a little angel girl lost one of her charges in heaven and went to look for him and some how she fell through the yellow clouds underneath snake way. She ended up in the home for infinite losers. She explored a little and eventually ended up being chased by some angry sprit into a pointed rock formation, the area around the portal leading to this level of hell and the demons. At the time the barrier there only prevented the demons from getting out, not from keeping the living from going in so the angel ended up here. The demons torture and punish anything that comes down here, splitting the work evenly. When they saw the angel they mistook her for a new soul to torture. By the time the ogres found her she had gone crazy and was beyond being reached. The living doesn't have as high a tolerance for the punishment as the dead so that is why the barrier was made to keep the living out. To prevent any other undeserving creature to come down here and get punished." The green warrior explained.

"But of course that didn't really work in your case." Olibu added. Goku, oddly enough, wasn't comforted by this little joke.

"So…you're saying there is no way for me to get back to earth and save my friends?" he asked, staring blankly ahead.

"Sorry Goku…" Olibu said, genuinely sorry.

Goku felt completely defeated as he sunk to his knees.

A/N: and I'm done. I know the fights probably seemed pretty short but the guys have gotten a lot stronger then these old enemies. And since it's a known fact (hopefully) that you can't get stronger in hell then Cell, Frieza and co wouldn't of stood a chance. But hopefully you got some kick out of seeing them get defeated again.

So that's my little Goku torture done with. And now it looks like he really is trapped in hell. Plus we're getting closer to seeing super 17 coming into being. So check out my next update, hopefully tomorrow if I can stop my brother hogging the computer and/or driving me insane. Ja'ne.
