Chapter 4 The MC Universe History Part 1

(Based on Mondo Cool's Dragon Ball New Hope) This is the muscular teen goten's history

In this alternate universe, about thirteen years ago The Cell Games was nearing its iconic finale with eleven year old Gohan locked in a Kamehameha beam clash with the bug like abomination out of a horror movie known as Cell. "Come on Gohan you can do it!" goku who had died mere minutes before this beam struggle started cheered from the Otherworld. "I can't" Gohan said despondently, "Cell is so much stronger than before and I'm running out of energy..." Suddenly his one good arm buckled from strain and his beam became even weaker. "Ha ah ha ah ha!" Cell laughed gleefully as he noticed Gohan's faltering attack, "It would appear you don't have anything left to give boy, if that's the case then allow me to send you home to your sure to be disappointed daddy" the monster said snidely before yelling and increasing the power in his beam. Within seconds Cell's Kamehameha had overpowered and swallowed Gohan's now heading straight for the defenseless preteen. "Gohan!" all the z fighters on the battlefield except Future Trunks who'd been killed minutes prior and Goku in the Otherworld screamed in horror. "Dad!" Gohan screeched in agony as he was hit by the blast his body being torn apart and vaporized, leaving no trace. After about a minute of dust settling, the remaining z fighters could now see a gargantuan smoking trench where Gohan once stood. Vegeta, who had been knocked out and laying next to Gohan was also killed. "No..." Piccolo shakily said some tears leaking from his eyes despite his attempt to stay composed. Tien, Krillin and Yamcha stared on blankly in horror of what just happened. "I can't believe this, Yamcha said quietly. "Its a nightmare!" Krillin screamed freaking out". "This can't be happening.." Tien said defeated. "Oh but it is" cell creepily spoke as the beast suddenly popped up behind Tien and punched his back, the force breaking his spine killing him. "No!" Krillin yelled in shock before being kicked by cell plummeting to the ground. "Krill-" Yamcha couldn't even finish as cell shot a death beam at his heart, disintegrating it, the beam committing its namesake. Piccolo in a blinding fury rushed at the monster, only for said monster to lazily raise a fist and as soon as the livid namekian reached him, punched piccolo's face with enough strength to have his hand bust through to the other side of piccolo's skull his brains and at least a gallon of blood spilling in the sky. After shaking his hand of the blood and guts Cell looked on with a triumphant smile and cackled manically, "Ha ha ha! I am truly the perfect being! Nothing can stand in my way, nothing!" Interrupting his superiority declaration, a small ki signature from below caught cell's attention. He flew down to investigate only to find Krillin lying on the ground with tears in his eyes trying futilely to pick himself up. "Ah one worm still crawls" Cell said with a smirk, "I'm impressed you withstood my kick Krillin". "Just get it over with already" Krillin hollered horsely, "you've defeated everyone that had a chance of beating you, you terrified everyone on the planet and you took everyone I cared about including the love of my life away from me! What else do you want!?" Cell merely laughed at this display of lost hope, "now where's the fun in that? I think I'll let you and the earth to go on, at least for now". "What?! Why?!", Krillin asked shocked and bewildered. "Fear" Cell stated firmly with a sick grin on his face, "being the most powerful being in the universe is boring without someone to be afraid of you, plus I get a rush knowing I'm feared, so why would I destroy humanity when I can have it live in fear of me for the rest of time! And you Krillin get to be my ambassador of terror ha ha ha! So long pathetic human, gotta leave a mark before departing for other worlds and sharing my perfection across the whole universe!" True to his word, Cell went about "leaving his mark" on the world by destroying random cities, burning landscapes and causing general chaos. One of the tragically lost cities was West City where Capsule Corp lay and in destroying the city Cell also killed baby Trunks and Bulma's parents who were unfortunately at Capsule Corp at the time. After Cell was finished approximately half of mankind had been wiped out. Krillin, Bulma, Master Roshi, Oolong, Puar, The Ox King and Chi Chi all gathered at the lookout along with Dende and Mr Popo intending to use the dragon balls to undo the damage and resurrect their fallen loved ones but before anyone could even summon the dragon Goku's voice popped into their heads. "Everybody this is hard for me to say but we don't think you should use the dragon balls, a sudden resurgence of life and energy might grab Cell's attention and he might come right back and destroy the earth in retaliation, it's a tough call to make but we need to accept defeat and just let nature take its course from here on out, Trunks's time travel in the end only made things worse and any usage of the dragon balls could exacerbate it and end everything altogether, farewell we love you all". Everyone took this sentence hard especially Bulma and Chi Chi who both had become windowed and childless ,but eventually they accepted it and went on to restart their lives.

Seven Years Later

Roshi and Krillin were at Kame House watching the news, from what it sounded like, civilization was getting back on its feet after Cell's purge over half a decade ago, yet there was still large amounts unrest and crime due to fear of Cell's return, ongoing rebuilding and heavily disrupted supply chains. "Damn Cell!" Krillin growled in frustration. "Calm down Krillin" Roshi said, "I feel the same way but there's nothing we can do, we just have to deal with the hand of fate we've been dealt and try to move on". "I know" Krillin said despondently, "I just wish there was someone else who could do what we couldn't, but there isn't!". Suddenly there was a knock on the door and it opened revealing it to be Chi Chi. "Sitting in front of the TV again are we? You guys ever get up?" Chi chi said with an air of disgust and humor. "Chi Chi!" Both men shouted in surprise. "What brings you out here? We haven't seen each other since, you know?" Krillin finished sweating nervously. "Yeah I know"Chi chi replied a bit annoyed, "come outside there's someone I want you to meet" she finished rather seriously. Not used to this attitude from Chi chi Krillin and Roshi walked out to the beach with Chi chi where there was a plane parked. "Alright here he... hey where he go!?" Chi chi screeched having expected her guest to be on the plane only to find him gone. Krillin and Roshi looked at Chi chi and then back to each other worriedly, "I think she's lost it" Krillin whispered in Roshi's ears. "Nope he he, I think she's looking for me" a child voice said from behind. When the men turned around they were astonished to see what appeared to be a miniature Goku though his eyes had an hint of arrogance to them. "Goku?!" Both men shouted in disbelief. "There you are, where were you young man?!" Chi chi scolded the mini Goku. "He he sorry Mom I needed to pee", the child said scratching the back of his head nervously identically like Goku. "Mom?" Roshi pondered before smiling, "well looks like Goku managed to leave something behind after all". "Everyone this is Goten" Chi Chi said proudly, "come on honey introduce yourself". "Hi I'm Goten!" the child said confidently, "I like fighting and video games!" Getting over his shock Krillin has happy to see that Goku left behind a son to the world but this raised a question in his mind. "Why did you wait this long to tell us about him? He asked. "Because I didn't want him to learn either of you guy's bad habits!" Chi chi said glaring at both of them. She them calmed down and with a smirk and fist raised she declares, "but that doesn't matter, I didn't bring him here just to get acquainted, I want to guys to train him!".
