The crushing of Android 16's head was like a catalyst; a catalyst to everything that would explode. But, that day I didn't know what would explode and that very thing was my rage.
Like a chemical reaction when something comes into contact with fire, the speed reaction is increased; like my power.
I remember walking towards Cell without fear but, with such malice and cockiness. It was only however, to hide my pain and fear. Everyone thought it was I, who transformed and had taken over. But, it wasn't only me who acted out; it we as also him.
We both have very different personalities and that show we put on for Cell was a clash of our personalities. We both are very much alike but, I was the one who wanted to make Cell suffer but, when Father told me to stop, I was going to stop. However, Gohan enjoyed making him suffer and you already know the rest: Dad died and I started it. I blame myself more than Gohan blames himself but, couldn't we both share the blame equally?
I didn't want to fight nor did I want to hurt or kill. Even if Cell was as evil as he is or was; it wasn't right. I grew up knowing that hurting people or inflicting pain upon them was wrong. The thing that hurt the most was Dad expected me to change instantly on that day. Just because he had killed didn't mean I could. And yet Gohan was giving it up all for Dad.
I tried to stall, trying to make Cell pay and it backfired. Everything that day blew up in my face. What did I gain? Power. But, for what? Nothing.
If I could've spared one life that day, I would've done it in a heartbeat. It's my fault Daddy's not here and it's my fault Android 16's head was crushed. With Android 16's head being crushed so was my innocence and my Dad's death closed up my heart and blocked me out.
Gohan hasn't been the same since that fateful day. He buries himself in books to hide the grief that I bare.
I'm the pain he's stored up and I'm the innocence he's left behind and I'm his teal eyes.
He has not transformed once since the Bojack incident. He refuses to accept himself for who he truly is because of pain. Everyone feels it and he should soon learn to accept it.
Gohan knows I'm within him but, part of him has forgotten. He keeps me confined and I just want him to let me out.
This is insanity; I'm the one confined, stuck in his mind and a part of him that is buried within his mind. He hasn't grieved or shown too much emotion these past seven years. How can anyone be so emotionless? And he thinks he's bared all the pain of the world.
He needs to be whacked in the head, maybe his classmates can help. I've tried to communicate telepathically with everyone but, this Sharpener is the first in a few years. Typical that Sharpener hated Gohan for his exterior but, he started seeing me the interior.
I've waited six years for Gohan to at least mutter a word to me but, he has buried me so deep he can't even hear me now.
I miss my Daddy and Gohan just brushes it off. Gohan doesn't act like he's gone. He doesn't feel sad; the only thing I am in control of is his eyes. But only a few can see it.
Three years ago…
Today Gohan is going to Capsule Crop to see Bulma. He needs some extra clothes because the outside of me is going through another growth spurt unlike myself, inside of his mind.
Walking through the large hallways, I see Vegeta staring at Gohan, "Well boy, you haven't been keeping up with your training."
Nothing comes out of Gohan's mouth. I haven't had any luck expressing anything to anyone but, I haven't given up hope yet.
"He's locked me up deep within Prince." I explain, doubtful he's heard it.
Vegeta stares at Gohan in shock, "What did you just say?"
Gohan looks confused, "I have no idea what you are talking about,"
I try to speak, "I'm in his mind! He's kept me here all alone. He won't let me out! Help me!"
Vegeta looks at Gohan, "Who the hell are you, exactly?"
Gohan frowns, "Who are you talking to?"
Vegeta replies, "You,"
"Me?" Gohan looks in puzzlement.
"I'm Gohan –the pain, his Saiyan side! Help me! Before it is too late!" I yell telepathically.
"You just whispered something, can you repeat it." Vegeta asks. I have this sudden doubt–I yelled but, he only heard a whisper. Will he hear me again?
Gohan spoke in confusion, "I didn't say anything."
I repeat myself, "I'm Gohan!" I leave out the detail wishing someone will hear me.
I wait for Vegeta to reply but, no voice is heard. My suppositions were right.
"You didn't say anything," Vegeta shakes his head, "what a waste of time." he walks off.
Gohan just stands in bewilderment of the whole encounter.
My chance was ruined and should've known I wouldn't have had long. Gohan isn't stupid but, I know he couldn't hear me.
End of Flashback
If Gohan doesn't let me out soon or even hear me out, he will go insane or worse…die.
I hope you liked that chapter. The next one is a longer one but, I've got the find the motivation to write chapter 4.
I hope you stay tuned! :) Sorry if the formatting is off...I don't know why and I have tried to fix it already. If it is bad...I'll re-upload the chapter another time (as the flashback is only supposed to have little bits of bold). My apologises if it is difficult to understand.
