5 years later…

A rather large figure sat on a rock with two swords leaning on it near a beautiful lake in the dense, mountainous region near Happy Harbor. He had unruly black, spiky hair that looked similar to a palm tree. (Cell games Gohan) He was dressed in a full body black spandex suit with black gi pants, an orange gi top, dark blue training boots, and a pair of fighting gloves covering man stared out at the beautiful sight before him, taking it all in and memorizing every detail.

It had been nearly 5 years since Son Gohan had been sucked in by a wormhole, ripping him from his home and sticking him in a random alternate universe. And while even though his friends and family had been able to give him a few items and his dragon, he was mostly on his own, besides the company of his two companions.

Besides his dragon Icarus (who was a horrible conversationalist), Gohan had the company of a completely rebooted and redone Cell, whose personality was the polar opposite of the maniacal killer who held games for the world's fate for funzies. Opting for a snarky, Goku esque attitude.

The things that he had gotten from the Z-Fighters were everyday items (for him anyways).

He had gotten a gravity room/ space ship from Vegeta that had two regeneration tanks and a set of saiyan armor that looked slightly different than the traditional armor, bearing the royal insignia, while also not having the ridiculous shoulder pads which served no purpose.

He had also received a capsule from his father, and although the contents were not as flashy as Vegeta's, they were put to great use. The contents in question. A bag of senzu beans filled to the brim, and the power pole.

Gohan only used the senzu beans in emergencies or during battle, and so far had only used seven of the initial 49 beans. The saiyan had also completely mastered the power pole, turning the seemingly innocent red piece of wood into a deadly weapon when he picked it up.

A third capsule had also come in the small case. It had been from Trunks, and was honestly, his favorite one of the three that had come.

It had contained a note and two items wrapped in white cloth.

Gohan, being the polite boy he was, had read the note first as you always did when receiving a present. He still remembered the story and re-read it before he went out on his… missions.

~~~~Flashback- 5 years earlier~~~~

Gohan groggily sat up, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes and dirt from his hair.

He looked around him to find Icarus munching intently on a very dead animal in front of him and a very conscious Cell using his hand to split wood for a fire, humming as he did so.

Gohan immediately went on the offensive, jumping up and rushing the grasshopper, transforming into the first stage of Super Saiyan in mid air.

When he reached the android, he extended his right fist, in hopes of catching the side of Cell's face. When the fist connected, an unexpecting Cell was thrown through trees, and sent more than a mile from the ferocious punch.

Gohan wasted no time in following in pursuit.

Golden aura warping around him, Gohan shot towards the android, planning on dealing as much damage as he could before having to go to the next stage. He reached Cell in an instant, and reared for a kick that would make contact with Cell's head.

The android however, had other plans, and quickly dodged to the left, causing Gohan to overshoot from the momentum he had and lose his coordination. Cell dashed behind Gohan and locked the saiyan in a wrestling hold, which he responded by thrashing wildly, attempting to forcefully release the hold Cell had on him.

"Let me go." The thrashing saiyan said sternly through gritted teeth. "Or I'll make you let go."

"Oh Gohan, you don't understand, I'm not all that evil now." Cell responded with a cool demeanor. "In fact. If you had felt my ki then you wouldn't've been attacking me in the first place." Cell finished by letting the young saiyan free from his grasp, who capitalized on what he thought to be a mistake by leaping away from the giant grasshopper, gaining quite a bit of distance in doing so.

"And why is that." Gohan spat at the 9-foot monstrosity

"Because I'm different." This earned Cell a hate filled glare that would make .

"Cell, killers don't change overnight."

"I know, but I'm not a killer." The android retorted, making Gohan roll his eyes in disgust.

"Then what do you call all of the people you absorbed, or the cities that you've destroyed." Gohan said in a quiet whisper, his tone growing deadly. "You are a killer and nothing can ever change that, no matter what you say." The boy finished by dropping into an aggressive fighting stance.

Cell sighed, unimpressed with how dense the boy was. "Well Gohan, looks like I'll have to do this the hard way." The android dropped into a fighting stance that mimicked Goku's perfectly. The shock was evident on Gohan's face from the stance Cell was sporting, giving the android the satisfaction of catching the boy off guard. Said boy adjusted his stance to counter Cell's perfect imitation of his father's easily recognizable stance.

Cell took the initiative and shimmered out of Gohan's view, forcing the boy to sense out his opponent. Gohan felt a tingle in the back of his head, signaling the Saiyan of Cell's presence. He quickly whirled around while leaning to the left to dodge the strike from the bio-android. However when he did this he played directly into Cell's hands by leaving his right side slightly open, allowing the android to deliver a powerful punch to the boy's ribs.

Wincing in pain from the powerful blow, Gohan returned the favor and mimicked the androids actions, instead choosing Cell's head as the preferred target. The blow connected and a large boom sounded through the area, accompanied by a massive shockwave that mowed through the surrounding scenery like it was nothing, creating an extremely large crater.

Cell staggered back from the blow, his head having been whipped back from the blow. He brought his head back up to look at the Saiyan boy, shooting him a malice filled glare. The android brought his hand up to the corner of his mouth to wipe away the trickling sensation that was bothering him. He looked down at his hand to find a liquid smeared across it like an extremely thin coat of paint with the same coloration as an eggplant. (Or Trunks' hair, whichever you prefer.) The android remained calm at the sight and shifted his gaze from his hand to the Saiyan who caused the small flaw in his "perfect" look.

"Ya shouldn't have did that."

Gohan rubbed the large lump on his head, which he had received from Cell knocking him on the head really really hard. When Gohan had yelled out "ow" and rubbed the large lump, Cell had placed a hand on Gohan's head and transferred his memories (data) from the past 24 hours, including the reboot procedure and the entire Cell games. After that whole ordeal Gohan had apologized and made up with Cell, his father truly showing through at that point. Cell of course had forgiven him and gone to work on building a moderately sized stone cottage in the middle of the woods (Which Gohan had just noticed they were in). Gohan didn't know why but had seen weirder people doing weirder things.

He had also re-capped on his whole inter-dimensional travel theory that had been proven by Cell's memories (data), and didn't really think much of it. Sure he missed his friends and family horribly. But to be fair every one of them had had their own adventures and Gohan just viewed this as his. Also on the shock factor, meh. If he really was to think about it, this was pretty mediocre compared to finding out that you were part of an alien race that purged planets or being kidnapped by an eight year old slug man to train to fight the prince of a nearly extinct race and his bald general who somehow had a major in child psychology, only later for that slug man to have a bigger role in his life than his own father. So really Gohan just took this with little emotion and started meditating.

Well he had tried meditating until a wet box had landed on his lap, making him jump and lose concentration. Gohan looked down at the small box and realized that it was a capsule case. The Saiyan looked at the case confusedly as he started wondering what in the world a capsule case was doing in this dimension, earning a small grunt from the dragon that had just spit it onto his lap. The Saiyan looked up at his dragon, who had some spit dribbling out of his mouth, then back to the case, which was covered in the same substance that was plaguing Icarus' face, making it evident that the dragon had just spit it out. Gohan made the connection that whatever was in it had been sent with Icarus, meaning that the case most likely had something that Gohan would most definitely want.

All in a blur Gohan opened the capsule case like a kid at Christmas, and with a bang, de-capsulized all three of the pill shaped storage, revealing a Gravity Room, a bag of Senzu beans, the Power Pole, and two objects wrapped in cloth along with a worn and dirty envelope.

Gohan quickly deduced that the GR was from Vegeta and the Senzus and Power Pole were from his father, that only left the two wrapped items and the envelope. Gohan wanted to know what they were and who they were from, so he capsulized the GR and the things from his father before turning his undivided attention to the dirty envelope on the ground.

Gohan picked up the envelope, intent on reading it before opening his "presents", just like his mother had drilled into his head with an unrelenting fury from his birth.

Gohan opened the brittle envelope extremely slowly as to not damage it's contents. When he finally opened the object, Gohan pulled out a fairly new piece of paper, suprising him because he thought it was going to be as fragile as the carrier it came in.

The former demi Saiyan unfolded the paper and began to read, immersing himself in the story. It read.

Gohan,

My time was one filled with nothing but hunger, sadness, and fear as the androids wreaked havoc on the entire world. However, the androids were not the only threat that my timeline faced.

It was earlier on in Gohan's career in fighting the androids, only about a year after their first appearance, and had not reached Super Saiyan yet, letting them merely toy with him for a while before beating and leaving him for dead. The androids had just recently killed Piccolo, and they rubbed it in his face, using Piccolo's head as a ball that they would kick back and forth. Gohan described their laughter to be so sadistic that he would puke whenever he thought about it. My master was so caught up in his rage that he tried to destroy them. For some reason though he could not achieve Super Saiyan status, and his attempts proved feeble.

They beat Gohan within an inch of his life that day.

When they were about to leave and go to the next city, a creature the size of Broly with gray skin and bone spikes shot down from the skies. It dispatched of the androids like they were nothing and was about to kill them. But of course Gohan being who he was tried to stop the monster and got himself thrown into a nearby museum. The monster tried to kill Gohan by throwing museum exhibits at him and Gohan retaliated in a similar manner. Nothing worked on the monster until Gohan threw a large and sharp piece of crystalline green rock. The rock went straight through the monster and landed on the other side. The androids had recovered, and took advantage of the monsters injury and used an energy beam to push it into the Sun.

Gohan didn't know why, but they gave him a Senzu bean from a bag that they had taken from one of the fallen Z-fighters and left him. He took the bean and left with the green rock. He used his ki to 'forge' the rock into one of the items wrapped in cloth that I gave you. My master infused his ki into the item over the years, making it indestructible.

I am entrusting this to you, hoping that you will love it as much as my master did.

Sincerely,

Trunks Briefs.

Gohan was shocked beyond belief that Trunks would entrust something that meant so much to his Gohan to him. But that still left the second thing that came in the capsule. The boy walked over to where the two object wrapped in white were lying and plopped down next to them. He grabbed the longer of the two items and unwrapped the cloth, revealing none other than Mirai Trunks' sword. The Saiyan beamed at the sword that was used to kill Frieza and his father. Gohan put the weapon on the ground next to him, planning to practice with it in the Gravity Room later.

Now for the smaller one.

Gohan lifted the package off of the ground, noticing that it was heavier than Trunks'~ahem~ his, sword. He unwrapped his "present", revealing a chokuto with a 30 inch blade made of a green crystalline rock, connected to it was a 10 inch cord wrapped handle that Gohan could comfortably fit both of his hands on. A circular guard made out of pure gold was separating the blade and handle, making the sword seem like something that would be in a ridiculously rich person's house, and not in the hands of a warrior. Gohan admired the blade, taking it all in, memorizing the weight, balance, and the type of grip that he could comfortably have on the handle.

Gohan came to a conclusion that day.

A giant, toothy smile made it's was onto the Saiyan's face. "This is so cool!"

~~~~~End Flashback~~~~~~

Gohan sighed and let a small smile worm it's way onto his face, remembering when he had first gotten his swords from Trunks.

The Saiyan reached into his pocket and pulled out a small leather notebook and opened it to the first page. Gohan saw the names of four super villains that he and Cell had taken off of the streets. Permanently.

Joker, Black Adam, Scarecrow, and of course Doomsday.

Twice.

The first time Gohan had crushed Doomsday's head under his foot because the monster had damaged his Gravity Room, showing extreme strength in doing so. The second time he had thrown Doomsday into the Sun after finding out that he could not kill the monster the same way. (Gohan had been very careful in showing off his powers and so far the League only knew that he had advanced fighting abilities, super strength, and super speed.) Gohan didn't know how Doomsday kept coming back, but as of now the monster was rampaging on Mercury away from Humans and his Gravity Room.

Gohan put the notebook back in his pocket and stood from his position on the rock, grabbing his swords on the way up and slinging them onto his back in an "X" position. White aura bursting around him, the teen shot into the air.

Today was the day.

******END******

God I hated writing this chapter. I was really disappointed with what I was writing so I had to re-write it multiple times. I also have to give Uub God Of Destruction a HUGE shout out for beta reading for me and helping out with the story.

Next time we will get more into the actual YJ part of the story. But I do have two questions that I really need answers for.

If Superman had a power level of 600,000,000 then what would Wonder Woman's power level be.

Should SSGSS/SSG be in the story.

Anyway, 'till next time. (Don't forget to R&R)
