Okay. Sue me. I haven't updated for forever and some of you want to kill me. Oh well. You kill me, no updates. So I decided I should update today. So there. Here's your story. Oh, and one more thing-HOLY SHIT! 23 reviews! On 1 chapter?! Wow. Just wanted to say that. Also Gohan and Goku have a message for you.

Gohan: You're just encouraging her to torture me more, you know.

Goku: Yea, and that's not nice.

DC1: It's my story and they like it. Now shut up or I'll kill you off and torture your father.

Gohan: We have Dragonballs stupid.

DC1: Yea, and I have the power to make them not work. So be nice.

Goku: (reading plotline) Darn, Gohan, you and me are getting the bad end to this deal.

Gohan: Tell me about.

Goku: Ok, I will, you-

DC1: He didn't mean it! On with the story!

Goku landed on the white ground, panting with sweat dripping off of him. 'Gohan. I hope you're okay.' Goku glared at the vacant white space before him. 'I have to make sure he's okay.'

As Goku's mind started to play tricks on him, the white space turned black and Cell appeared faintly. "What's the matter, Goku? Afraid you can't save your son? That's right. He's going to die and you're going to watch!"

Goku growled, "No! I will get Gohan back at all costs!" Cell laughed mockingly. His laughter echoed in Goku's head as Gohan's voice rang out too. Cell suddenly vanished, as Gohan's voice grew louder.

'Daddy…help me.' Goku closed his eyes, trying to block out Gohan's voice. Gohan's voice grew more persistent and more mournful, like he was in pain… "Gohan…no!" Then another voice joined in.

Cell's slick voice echoed through Goku's mind, 'He will die, Goku!' 'Daddy, help me!' 'Dead!' 'Daddy!' 'All dead!' 'Help me!' Goku felt himself slipping, as the voices grew louder. Cell's voice continued to threaten Gohan as his voice grew colder and Gohan's more anguished.

They became louder still, until Goku was shut in a world of pain. His head filled with the pain filled voices of his son and evil voices of Cell. "No! Gohan! Cell, leave him out of this!"

Goku's worst nightmare started to play out in front of him as Cell and Gohan appeared. Cell fired a single blast through Gohan's chest, all while laughing. Goku's eyes widened. The edges of his vision blurred as he focused on Gohan. His son. His dead son. Goku saw the gaping hole in Gohan's chest, the dark blood beginning to pool, and his son's clear eyes fixed at the ceiling.

"Gohan…Gohan!" Unspeakable rage filled Goku. He clenched his fists as lightning danced around him. His pupils dilated as his aura grew bigger and a wind blew up from his power.

"Aayaaarrrggghhh!" Goku let out an angry cry as his hair shot up straight, save for two cowlicks. His muscles grew slightly bigger and his power grew far stronger. In a flash of bright light, Goku's power blew away the darkness and nightmare to reveal the white empty space of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

"I-I did it…Like Gohan did." Goku closed his eyes and felt his new power. "This is what I'll use to beat Cell…Don't worry Gohan, he'll pay."

Piccolo glanced at the door. "It's been 8 hours since he entered. Hopefully, when he gets out, he can answer our questions." Krillin nodded, "I hope so. I don't understand why Goku would quit."

On cue, the door opened, and a dirty Goku emerged from the Hyperbolic time Chamber. "Goku!" Goku greeted them grimly, "Hey. How long was I in there?" Piccolo answered, "8 hours. Goku, we need to know why you quit."

Goku sighed, "Okay. You would have found out anyway. I ascended the first level of Super Saiyan in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, like Gohan did." "What?!" "Yea, when we were both in there, he wouldn't stop training until he passed out."

Piccolo nodded, "Go on." "Several times he got hurt badly, but he still wouldn't give up. He got sick a few times too. One time, I started to walk away, but he stopped me. When I turned around, he ascended. Something snapped."

Krillin asked, "Does he know about that?" Goku shook his head, "No. He doesn't remember any of it. He passed out afterwards." Piccolo and the others were speechless. Vegeta was fuming silently in the back of the group, 'No way! That brat can't be stronger than me.'

Goku continued, "Either way, Gohan is still stronger than me." Piccolo nodded in agreement, "Trunks is also stronger than Vegeta. I'm beginning to see a pattern." Vegeta growled, causing Goku and Piccolo to turn. "That's not true!" Goku snarled, "Vegeta, just forgot about it! Now is not the time for you to be acting arrogant!"

An eerie silence followed Goku's outburst. Before anyone could speak, Gohan's ki suddenly wavered and dropped slightly. All of their heads snapped to look in the direction of Gohan's ki. Goku turned and ran toward the edge of the Lookout.

Piccolo ran after him and snatched him by the arm. "Goku, stop!" Goku yelled back, "Let go! He's hurting him!" "I know! But Cell said he'd kill Gohan if we didn't fight in one day! And he meant it! He'll sense us coming!"

Goku jerked away from Piccolo and then relaxed, "Cell is going to regret laying a hand on Gohan."

Cell fired more small ki blasts at Gohan, who had been bound to a tree. Gohan had several small burns on him. "What's the matter brat?" Gohan grunted as what seemed like the 20th energy blast made contact with him.

"You only have 16 hours to go." Cell laughed. Gohan struggled to move. Pain was raging through his body. 'Dad, I hope you make him pay.' Gohan cried out as another energy ball smacked into his chest and right shoulder.

Cell laughed and finally stopped firing the energy blasts. He broke the energy ring binding Gohan to the tree. Gohan collapsed onto the ground on his stomach. Cell kicked Gohan once in the head, before walking off, laughing.

Krillin sighed. The minutes were ticking by slowly. He was worried sick about Gohan. If Cell had just been firing ki blasts at him, what else what he do? Krillin sighed again. 'I hope Gohan's okay…'

Just then Goku walked over, "What's the matter Krillin?" Goku was pretty sure he knew what the problem was. Krillin replied, "I worried about Gohan. Cell is a monster! He wouldn't hesitate to kil- Sorry, Goku."

Goku shook his head, "No, Krillin. You're right. Cell wouldn't hesitate to kill Gohan. Hopefully, Gohan can stay alive until tomorrow." Piccolo walked up to the two, "Goku, Vegeta said him and Trunks will meet us on the way." Goku nodded, "Fine. I don't care who comes as long as I get Gohan back safely."

888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

The next day, Goku, Piccolo, Krillin, Tien, and Yamcha set out to Cell and Gohan. They were flying at a steady pace, when Krillin called out, "Goku! It's Vegeta and Trunks!" Vegeta and Trunks were floating in the air, just ahead.

The Z Fighters slowed up to meet them. "Glad you could make it! Let's go!" Vegeta interrupted, "Kakarot, I want you to know that…" Vegeta suddenly looked uncomfortable, "…I would give my life to save Gohan."

Everyone's mouths dropped open in surprise. Vegeta?! Showing affection!? Vegeta snarled, "What?! I may not show it, but I do care! I'm not that heartless!" Goku chuckled, "Not that heartless…right."

"Enough! We need to get going!" Piccolo barked. Goku nodded, "Yea. Let's go!" Vegeta mumbled some stuff under his breath, before blasting off with the rest. Trunks shook his head, before following his father.

888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

Cell walked over to a bruised and bloody Gohan. "This will shut you up." He kicked Gohan in the back of the head, knocking him unconscious. Cell laughed, "Your father will never see it coming!"

Cell turned around, yelling, "Multi-form!" Two copies of Cell formed on each side. Cell directed them to go to opposite sides of the clearing and hide until it was time. Time to ambush Goku.

Cell smirked evilly, "I'll ambush him and unable him to fight, while I kill his little twerp!" Cell turned his head in the direction of the Z Fighters' ki, which were coming closer.

888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

Goku spotted Cell standing a few feet away from Gohan, who he saw was knocked out. Goku growled slightly, before they started their descent. Goku landed on the rocky ground, angrily.

Cell turned around. Goku yelled, "Cell! Give me back my son! Right now!" Cell laughed, "Did you really think I would give him back that easily? You must fight and defeat me! Otherwise, I'll kill him!"

And the fight to save Gohan was about to begin…

888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

YAY! 23 reviews! YAY! Thank you! Oh and Gohan says he is not speaking to all of you because you're encouraging me to torture and kill him and he doesn't like it. He also said he wants to go on strike, but can't because we keep kidnapping him. Bad Gohan. He also said that we needed to stop obsessing with him. As if I would. Gohan needs to get over it. Bad Gohan. Anyway, I'll try to update soon!
