Chapter 10: Dragon Balls
"Oh, hey Videl."
"Hey Gohan. Why are you here?"
"Oh, um, well, it's kind of a long story. To put it short, do you by any chance, have you seen an orange ball with stars on it?"
"An orange ball? What for?"
"Well, I'm collecting them. There's seven of them in the whole world and I'm trying to get them all. I have a radar that tracks them, and it says there is one here."
"Well, you can come in and look. My dad isn't here right now. It's probably in my mom's old room, or in the basement."
"Okay. Thanks a ton. Can you show me where your mom's room is?"
"Just walk to the right, past the kitchen and then go forward again." Videl replied.
"Okay thanks. I'll tell you when I find it." Gohan told Videl, when she nodded he walked into the house, to the right, and then forward into a room with dull cyanober colored walls, tile floor, and jewelry hanging all over the walls.
'So this was Videl's mom's room.' He thought as he scavenged the room for the magical orb. After thinking he had searched everywhere, he looked under the bed.
Jackpot. Under the bed layed a black case. It needed a key.
"Damn it." Gohan muttered. He put the case on the bed. He formed a light blue colored ki and formed a key with it and unlocked the box. 'That actually worked.' Gohan thought.
He lifted the box open to be blinded by light. The sun was shining in through the window, and the jewelry in there only made it brighter by reflecting a ton of light. Gohan walked to the other side of the room with the box and sat on the couch which sat opposite the TV.
He opened the box again. And there it was. The five star ball. Next to it a note.
Videl, I put this ball here, under your mom's bed in Age 772, when I found this strange ball in our backyard, on top of some dirt that looked as if someone digged there. I found something shocking. Anyways, If you found this, then for some reason you broke my rules of never going into your mothers room, or perhaps I'm giving it to you on your eighteenth birthday. Anwyas, go by the tree in the back yard with a shovel. That's where I found something shocking. Dig all around the tree. You'll find something from your mother.
'What The hell?' Gohan thought, almost curious of what was there. Should he tell her, or let her find out on her own for her eighteenth birthday? He walked over to the bed, took the ball out of the case and was sliding it under the bed when someone walked in.
"Woah." Gohan jumped. "Sorry, you scared me. I just found it."
"Where was it?"
"Oh, uh, in the dresser, yeah, in the dresser." Gohan said, very nervously. 'I thought she couldn't come in here.'
"Oh that's good. Well, I'll see you Monday."
"Yeah, uh okay. Thanks a lot." He walked out the front door. "Oh wait. Videl, when's your birthday?"
"My birthday? It's November 24th, why?"
"Just curious." Gohan said as he walked off to a nearby alley and flew off from there.
About an hour later, he had collected the rest of the dragonballs, he landed on the lookout about five minutes later.
"Gohan's back!" Gohan heard someone shout as soon as he landed to the lookout. As soon as he heard that, a crowd of people ran towards him.
"Hey guys. What I miss?" He asked, after recognizing the crowd of people as the rest of the Z Gang.
"Well, we couldn't find Yamcha's body, but we may know where the guy who made the androids is hiding." Krillin spoke up first.
"Where?"
"HFIL."
"What? HFIL? What do you mean?"
"The person who is making the androids is Dr Gero. King Kai reached out to Goku to tell him there is a portal in HFIL that goes to Earth, but the people who tried to escape died as the jumped into the portal. Gero did experiments on them and made them into androids. Millions on millions tried. That's why there is so many androids."
"Then how did the androids get through?"
"Apparently Gero attached a device inside them during his experimentinfnon then and it prevents them from getting killed by the portal." Krillin answered.
"That means, if Cell was okay with getting a device attached to his body he could just escape."
The whole group looked at each other. "I didn't think about that." Tien spoke.
"Neither did I." Goku replied.
"Well I have a solution to all this." Gohan spoke up.
"What is it son?" Goku asked.
"Use instant transmission to HFIL and close the portal."
"You can't do that. Not only is it against the rules to go to otherworld without dying unless you're the guardian of the planet, but you can't get to HFIL without being sentenced there, or falling of snakeway." Goku spoke.
"Damn. Then how can we stop all this?" Krillin asked.
"I know."
Everyone looked at him. "What's the plan Gohan?" Tien asked.
"It's simple. But I don't know If is the smartest idea."
"Go on Gohan. What's the plan?" Piccolo spoke.
Gohan didn't answer. He simply made a knife with his ki. "I haven't died yet, and I don't want to feel so left out you know?"
"Wait you mean-"
"Yeah. I'll stop all this. Stay safe guys. Use the dragonballs to revive me after I tell you from King Kai's."
"Gohan wait!" Chi-Chi shouted.
But it was too late. At the blink of an eye, he slit his wrist and everything went numb. He fell over and then he was out of it.
'So this is other world huh?" He looked around. He was surrounded by ghosts, but he still had his body. He was in a giant room, in a line, he noticed the giant red guy sitting at a table. He assumed that was King Yemna, so he cut in line and flew up onto the table.
"Hey are you King Yemna." Gohan asked.
"Yes, indeed, but I don't appreciate people who cut in line. So get on with whatever you have to say."
"Well King Yemna, you probably know my dad, his name is Goku."
"Oh! You must be Gohan! The boy who saved the universe from Cell! Please do tell, why are you here? What is happening on Earth?"
"Well, Dr Gero is acting a fool down there in HFIL and it seems he has made more androids, and they've escaped through a portal."
"A portal? How do I not know about this?"
"I don't know, but I need to get down there and close it. Any suggestions?"
"Here take this. Use your ki and hit the portal with it and it will close." King Yemna said as he shrunk a huge hammer and handed it to Gohan.
"Thanks, oh and how do you get to HFIL?"
King Yemna face palmed. "Here. This is the fun way." Yemna said as he flicked Gohan off his table and pressed a button on his table, causing a hole to open up in the ground, which Gohan fell through.
Gohan was feeling excited almost, This was fun! You'd think it'd be like flying, but it was more like jumping off a five hundred story building! (AN: Lol sounds like a lot of fun ;) anyways back to the story) He decided to start flying down there full speed. Afterall, he was down there to close the portal, not have fun.
He landed in HFIL just a few seconds later. He flew over across HFIL to where he sensed many people, including Cell. They were all sitting by a fire, roasting marshmallows and telling stories? Clearing his head of those questions, he landed on the ground.
Cell, among others turned around. Cell smiled evilly. "Hahaha Gohan. What are you doing in hell little boy!!?"
"You mean to tell me that's the twerp from Namek!?" Freiza spoke.
"Indeed. It's Goku's Son." Cell laughed. "Go on. Why are you here?"
"I killed myself." He lied, that wasn't why he was here, but he did kill himself.
"Aww poor little boy killed himself, why? Is it cause his daddy is dead?"
"No Cell. I didn't mean to. It was an accident. Also, where's the portal? Someone told me there was a portal that can help you escape this place."
"Oh it's over there. Just try to jump through it." Cell told him and laughed.
"Nah, I'm not jumping through it." He said as he walked next to it. "You wouldn't be here if there wasn't a catch to this thing. So, how did this even get here?"
"It just magically appeared boy. You best hurry up and leave because they're about to put us back in our cells." Cell spoke, trying to get Gohan to do something incredibly stupid.
Gohan took out a hammer.
"What's that for?" Cell asked. "Just jump through. I'll go during our next break anyways, that's when the old man will be ready to help me."
"Cell, I didn't come here to jump through a portal." Gohan spoke, as he turned into a Super Saiyan two and hit the portal as hard as he could with the hammer and his ki. The portal vanished. Literally. It just vanished. It was gone.
"Why you little!" Cell shouted, grinding his teeth and charged Gohan. He tried to punch the teen in the face, but Gohan dodged simply kicked him down to the ground, where the HFIL guards grabbed him and threw him into his cell.
Gohan walked away, getting ready to fly to King Yemna's trap door and knock on it to get back up, but someone walked up behind him. "Hey kid." The voice caused Gohan to turn around. "Is Kakarot your father?"
"Yeah, why."
"Kakarot is my son."
(AN: Well did you enjoy? I'll be updating once or twice every weekend, probably more this week since I get Monday and Tuesday off work though. Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed. Also, the more reviews, the more I make these, and I usually listen to suggestions in the reviews and answer the questions in the reveries too...so..also, I had made this chapter 5k words, but I thought of this, which imo was a much better idea then what I was going to post as Chapter 10. Anyways, until next time.)
