Thanks to everyone that reviewed, keep em comin.

CW( )- to answer your question, Cell regenerates on a molecular level, so as long as he has a single cell left, he can regenerate.

chris( )- To answer your question, i was always kinda annoyed by the lack of creativity in the series with the whole ss1, ss2, ss3, ss4 etc... and it sucks that it makes the saiyans in the show the strongest warriors while the othersget jackedcough Piccolo kiks ass cough. So i'm gonna try and create more uniques transformations and abilities for each character. And since Gohan's a hybrid, shouldn't he get his own kind of transformations or sumthin? Well we'll see.

Hope you enjoy this chapter, might start to bring some of you into the light a bit. Sorry the action i a little low, but fear not its all heading toward something huge ... I hope.
Enjoy!

It is a sad day when a man awakens to realize that his life, up until that point, meant nothing. Today was Gohan's sad day. These past seven years had been nothing but a race against himself. Between the screams of anguish Gohan was able to acquire bits of very disturbing information. It seems that the fiend Gohan had been chasing all this time was only Cell's shadow. He seemed to have improved his Cell juniors enough to mimic his own appearance and energy signature. The reason for these miniature clones, it seems, was to gather information about the various planets and there inhabitants. The dying soldier then revealed to Gohan why the assassins seemed so familiar. They were warriors of the cold empire, Freeza's vast army of conquerors. All of this information made Gohan sick, but the toughest bit to swallow came when he asked where Cell was presently…

"He's on cough Earth!"

Light speed was not fast enough for Gohan as he passed through planet after planet. Sadly his instant transmission had a limited range and Cell knew it. It's probably why he had lured Gohan so far from home. Cell knew Gohan enough to estimate the half-breed's next move. That was precisely why Gohan was not heading straight for home. This reeked of deception it was a trap. Those warriors weren't assassins they were messengers. Cell wanted Gohan to know the information that Gohan had 'acquired' from the grunt. Gohan knew Cell as well, and he knew that Cell was too cocky to leave his enemies in the dark. Cell loved to toy with his opponents; anyone who had fought him knew this. So Gohan decided to play this smart and head to one of his favourite informants, on his least favourite planet.

It was hard to believe that a whole planet could be one city, so it was shocking to find that this planet was like one big street corner. Hustlers, gamblers, thugs and of course the occasional hooker. Of course Gohan always managed to get passed this rift raft due to his 'flattering' reputation. The last person that tried to mug him ended up tasting the ground, the thug stayed there until Gohan came back a week later when he kicked the creep out of his way. Yah, no one messed with Gohan anymore, but that still didn't make the planet less unappealing. Gohan headed straight for the pub his man hung around. He entered and headed straight for his usual seat.

"Any idea why I'm here Yadren?"

"The scenery is my guess."

"I just got more helpful information from one man in one hour then I've gotten from you in the past seven years."

"What'd he get for it?"

"He got to die."

"And you wonder why I don't tell you anything."

"Why don't you tell me 'bout the Cold Empire'snew management and we'll call it even."

Gohan smirked as his usual drink order came up. He wasn't really angry with Yadren, he couldn't be they were too much alike. Both liked the same drinks, both lost parents in a battle and both had mixed blood. The only difference was that Gohan could trace his lineage to two races, where as Yadren's blood had more variety then the damn drink menu, much to both men's dissapointment.

"Well I'm 'fraid there isn't much too tell my friend. Soon as all the Cold's died the activity slowed to a crawl. Word was they got a new boss couple years back, but he doesn't seem to have much interest in the business just the army. Funny thing though, the new boss claimed to be part of the Cold family. He was nicknamed the bastard Cold, 'till the wise ass that said it got his jaw ripped out. Heh, that's leadership for ya." Yadren chuckled as he sipped his beverage.

Gohan thought on this for a moment. It did make sense for Cell to claim relation to the Cold's. He did have their DNA in him.

"Why didn't you tell me bout this sooner Yadren?"

"Cause you just wanted to know 'bout tall green dudes with pale faces and red eyes. You didn't want to hear anything else man."

This was true; Gohan was very selective about the information he received. Stupid! He should have guessed Cell would find allies to hide behind.

"Actually if I remember correctly you took a job to kill one o' the lower ranks for welchin' out on some bet. Still have the uniform as proof of the kill too."

"Wow thanks, next time I have ta kill one of 'em they'll be able to tell me how nice I look."

"I'm just sayin' man."

Gohan didn't have time to waste on past events s he decided now was the time to go, maybe his other informants might know something. He paid his bill and was about to leave when an eeryfeeling passed through him, a thought that seemed to be whispered in his ear.

"One more thing, have you heard any news coming from a place called Earth?"

"Funny you should ask. Some weird guy came this morning and took a sea in the corner. Hasn't moved since, looks human to me."

Gohan looked to where the mix-blooded alien was indicating, sure enough this person had the look of an Earthling. However, when Gohan reached out his senses to feel his power Gohan was hit with a force most unnerving.He wasn't particularly strong. If Gohan were to judge this man based on the magnitude of his power he wouldn'tgive it a second thought, but the essence of it was mystical almost divine, like no other creature could posses. Was this man a Kai like his father had oncementioned. Perhaps a guardian of Earth much like Dende. Gohan had been pondering on this so long he didn't realize he had been starring at the man.

"I've been waiting for you all and you can only sit there starring like an idiot. The saiyan in you has obviously had its affect on your manners." This mystery man spoke finally.

"Have a seat Gohan, you've had trying day and I fear the news I bring will not make it any easier."

Gohan complied with the man's wishes mostly because he was too shocked by the stranger's vast knowledge of the warrior.

"This news I bring concerns your home and your friends." The man said as he passed Gohan a particularly strong drink.

"It also concerns your father…"

Yep, this was a sad day.
