A Wonderful Life

Chapter 4: The Wonderful Life...
A/N: This chapter will include: Suicidal thoughts, Physical abuse and Depression. If you are sensitive to such things, please skip this chapter. (Or this story really, it banks on that for the most part)
A/N 2: So this is the heart of the story, Cell's backstory. Although it might be pretty heavy handed I swear it all has an effect. Anyways here is the chapter
Age 767 marked the end of yet another deadly event for Earth. And the planet would not be disturbed for 7 years...
Many will say 7 years of peace, love, and tranquility. All but Cell...whom will suffer 7 years of tourture at the hands of the less heroic members of the Z team. 7 years of long and painful abuse that will never be forgotten by our fellow Bio-Android...
A few days after the defeat of Cell, Future Trunks returned to his original timeline to rid his planet Earth of the deadly Android duo that was future 17 and 18
His plan was a simple one. Return to his beloved home, defeat the menaces that threatend his home planet, and rebuild Earth to it's former glory
However seeing as how 17 and 18 turned out, maybe he could possibly turn the Android threats around as the Z team had...But not everything will go as planned...
Aside from Trunks' departure things fell into a certain rhythm on Earth. Calm befell the planet as the Dragonballs were also used to erase Cell's image from the earth, seeing as how he was going to be around. But physical evidence and social media kept the image of Perfect Cell destroying the city on live television alive for a long time...
Bulma spent her days on a certain loop, she would wake up bright and early, work, and eventually fall asleep by herself. 17's schuedule was to awake as early as 2 AM to leave for Monster Island before eventually returning at 10 PM to settle and rest. This was done solely because he was an Android, he was built to require as little sleep as possible, though the infinite energy part kept him from needing no sleep entirely. In fact food was also a nonessential, but 17 of all people was not one to give up food, rather to him it meant that he just couldn't get fat
18, similar to her brother, would awake at 2 AM and watch the T.V to stave off boredom before she set off to her entertain herself. Unlike 17, 18 wasn't interested in getting a job, she wasn't easily entertained by action, adventure and nature like her brother. Instead she would go out shopping, walk around a park aimlessly or dine at a high class restaurant (obviously using some of Bulma's pocket change to do so).
Occasionally, however, she would also go on a date with Krillin. The dates were usually simple and revolved around the two getting to know each other, but that was okay for 18, she was more than interested in him. The two soon bonded and inevitably became a couple, much to everyone's surprise
Things were moving slowly, but 18 was patient
Still, something seemed a bit off with 18. Krillin knew that 18 could walk, talk and act like a normal person, but for some odd reason there was this darker side to her. Every once in a while she would violently snap at someone or something once she lost her temper, like she didn't know how to properly restrict her anger
These outbursts were usually scary, they reminded Krillin back when they first met, when she ruthlessly battered the entire Dragon Team without a care... Still, there weren't many and when they happened he was sure settle her temper with a quick talk
However Vegeta's schedule, and by extent Cell's, hid a dark secret that was never revealed to many
The prince would wake up at 9 AM and 'greet' Cell every morning by punching the giant bug, it was a sort of teaser of what was to happen. He would serve himself breakfast by popping one of his capsules in the refregerater and eat whatever it was that the personal cheifs served him and would then go and train for hours undisturbed, unbothered. He mostly did his best to tap back into the ascended form that he unlocked with decent success
But the real kicker was after his training, when he would bring Cell into the Gravity Room too
Everyday it was something new, from just spewing vile insults at him for an hour, to constantly ripping his legs off for four hours. But everyday Vegeta would find Cell in his room and begin his suffering, there was no way that he was going to pass the opportunity of personally punishing someone who had wronged him in such a humiliating way. Well, at least their counterpart would do
And the sensations were just intoxicating! Years of pent of rage, rebellion, ego, pride, pain, practically every and any emotion that Vegeta ever felt would be released. To Vegeta it felt like he was massaging his tired muscles, and Cell was simply the machine that he used, or the punching bag on most occasions
He would then literaly kick Cell out of the room once he was done and cap off with some more training. Afterwards he would shower, serve himself dinner and sleep at 10 PM. Every once in a while he would flirt with Bulma in his own Saiyan way before walking off to his own bed and on rare occasions they would have a steamy night, but that was only on a good day
Although the relationship between Bulma and Vegeta grew slowly, it did grow. Even Toddler Trunks was starting to warm up to his father. The two grew fond of each other, though it was much harder for Vegeta to openly admit it Bulma still knew deep in her heart
Cell's schedule was constantly changing. He almost rarely had to sleep due to the way he was built and made. Through Namekian and Gero's design Cell technically never required sleep, but it was never fully opted out due to his Saiyan and Human parts. Only when Cell was completely exhausted of energy (and life energy) would his body force him to sleep. Sadly, because of his 'schedule' he needed sleep very often
He also didn't eat like a normal creature. Bulma soon discovered that Cell can go on for many months before having to absorb a large amount of energy and refine it to an extreme extent. In essence he was required to obtain large quantities of energy to stay alive and grow stronger. Originally this was done through absorbing animals and humans, but a good Saiyan meal every few months had the same effects luckily enough
Cell also had a large array of memories locked inside of him like a vault. Memories of hard fought battles of the Z team or one sided victories from Frieza and his father. Anyone that shared DNA with Cell had their memories implanted into the Bio-Weapon, or at least the memories up until the last point by which their blood was collected
As part of his daily schedule Cell would also endure experiments from Bulma, nothing beyond the usual poking, prodding, scanning and drawing of blood. His blood and cell tissue were studied very often, being as unique as they were, so much so that Bulma was even able to eventually create a new medicine, the Senzu Pill. As the name suggested it had the same effects as the Senzu Beans, only this time they were easier consume, available to everyone, and worth a thousand times more than your average painkiller
But apart from the wonders of science, apart from the marvel that was Cell's being, Cell himself was miserable. He suffered so much in just a few days, that he began to spend his time purely hiding from Vegeta. But everyday at 9 AM, he would receive a punch to his chest that signified that the daily torture would begin soon. Everyday Cell despised the fact that he was still living. He even contemplated many ways to kill himself once and for all. But every time Vegeta would sense the spike in energy and stop Cell from ending his own life, to his own disappointment
He soon learned that it was the failure of his counterpart's mission to kill everyone as well as what he had done to Vegeta that was the reason why he was in his position, all of which was told through bits and pieces of Vegeta's rants
He was just a useless being who's only value came from his body and being a permanent punching bag. He hated everyone and everything, most especially those that put him in his position, Future Trunks, Krillin, his other self, Vegeta, Bulma, the whole Z team really
But the one true thing that he hated with all his heart was himself. He hated himself for being useless, for suffering with reason, for living a pointless existence...
But soon things started to change further...
Half a year after the end of the Cell games, 17 and 18 realized that Cell was, in fact, going to be as strong as he was when he hunted for them, maybe even stronger by the looks of it
This unsettled the pair greatly
The fact that a version of Cell was living and breathing in the same area as they did was going to give them the opportunity to pay him back for the painful memories. Even if it wasn't the Cell didn't really matter much, the effects would be the same either way
So the duo decided to spend two days straight in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train. 17 advised his girlfriend, Sarah, that he would be gone for two days, and 18 did the same with Krillin
Krillin wondered why they needed the chamber. Are they still having trouble adjusting? Did it have to do with Krillin and 18's love life? Was she thinking of breaking up?! ... Maybe he was just overreacting... Whatever the case was he couldn't think of a solid reason why they would take two years to train
Vegeta heard of this and wondered if they would be a challenge later, he would have to see to it after they finish
Cell hatched from his Larval state and transformed into his imperfect form during that time. But this still didn't change a thing, it just meant that he looked the way that he felt, ugly, decrepit and weak
And even though he now had the ability to speak he never spoke a word at all. He had already isolated himself from the others, that wasn't going to change any time soon
While 17 and 18 were gone, someone unexpected came to Capsule Corp...
A large yellow machine apeared out of thin air one average evening on the front lawn of Capsule Corp before settling down on the ground. Soon out came a man with thick purple hair, a purple jacket that had a logo in the shape of a capital 'C' on it, and a sword straped around his back
The warrior walked solemly towards the entrance of the building with a depressed expression while looking around
"Looks like things are as I left them...I'm glad to see it again..." The warrior said aloud as he walked further into the building and into the garden
Vegeta was in the middle of kicking Cell several times like a soccer ball when he sensed a familiar energy approaching the garden
"Well this is unexpected. Pull your crap together Cell!" Vegeta barked as he left the room
Cell didn't reply, he just silently obliterated his torso using a ki blast and regrew it so that no one could see the kick and scratch marks
Cell's body had become numb to Vegeta's daily assault now, he no longer shrieked in pain after each blow like he did when he was smaller. Even when Vegeta would hurl insults at him Cell would just stand in silence, unchanged and unmoving
Whatever it was Vegeta didn't like the silence, it was annoying and hard to enjoy his pain. Still it wasn't all bad, the fists going through his former foe's body was satisfying enough, or at least his lookalike
Bulma sat in her office when her silent sensors alerted her of the inturder. She looked at her cameras and couldn't believe what she saw. She never expected him to come here, much less a month later. Bulma picked up Toddler Trunks from his play area in her office and headed towards the garden
Meanwhile the warrior stood in the garden and admired the flowers, he hadn't seen flowers in a while...
"Trunks. What brings you back here again? Another problem you can't solve?" Vegeta said as he stood behind the time traveler
"Hey dad...it's very nice to see you." He greeted. "And no, there is no threat, it's just..." Trunks trailed off as he spotted the approaching Cell. He had a slight limp as the nerves in his left leg were still numb after yesterday's bout, Vegeta decided to rip off his leg repeatedly for a good while
He looked up to see Future Trunks, which confused the Android. He didn't expect Trunks to ever return to this timeline. That man! He let him live this life of horrors that had befallen the Bio weapon
Trunks yelled as his aura sparked to a golden color in a sudden rage. He was blinded by the sight of the creature for reasons unknown. His aura had lightning all around his body just like a, what has now been dubbed as, 'Super Sayian 2'
Trunks threw himself at the unexpecting Cell and choked him by the throat before tossing up into air. He then caught up to Cell, punched his face midair and grabbed him by the arm, preventing him from being thrown away by the force of the impact. The Hybrid used his free hand to punch Cell's gut repeatedly Until he threw Cell towards the ground, however, Cell stopped his descent just before hitting the floor
Trunks unsheathed his sword, held it over his head, and dropped to the ground towards Cell. Just as Cell looked up, Trunks' sword sliced Cell in half vertically. Trunks then swiped his sword in different directions as he cut Cell into various different pieces and blasted him with a beam from his right hand as he did with Frieza years before
"TRUNKS BRIEFS YOU STOP TRYING TO KILL CELL FOR FIVE SECONDS AND TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG!!" A furious Bulma said as she entered the garden with Toddler Trunks in her arms
"M-mom?" Trunks stuttered. He immediately dropped the Super Saiyan 2 form and went in to hug his mother from a different time
Bulma was startled by this display, he hugged with such emotion that it was like he hadn't seen her in a long time. But didn't he have his real Mother in his timeline? What could have happened there that would cause him to return to the past? Wait a minute...
"Trunks what happened? Is everything okay?" Bulma asked her son worriedly as she sat down on a nearby chair
Trunks' assault had been very sloppy, his finishing move luckly left a piece of Cell on accident and soon his body regenerated once again. Trunks turned and realized his mistake, he promised himself that he would forgive the Androids of the past, unlike what he did with the future Androids
Before Trunks could utter a word, Cell stood and stared at Trunks blankly, which caught him off guard. He got this ominous feeling that was hard to shake as they locked eyes
It was then that Cell turned around and walked away while slowly swinging his tail menacingly
"Well boy, what happened?" Vegeta asked as everyone sat down on a few convenient sun chairs
*Flashback*
Trunks' time machine had finaly landed on his home soil in the middle of the night. He hoped that nothing drastic had changed in the time that he was gone, he only realized a little too late that the machine sent him a month from his original departure rather than a year. The Hybrid Saiyan left the machine in hopes of being able to finaly see his home in once peace. Instead when he entered the building it was ruined, more so than it's supposed to be that is
"Mom?! Are you home?!" Trunks yelled inside the empty building. Strange, no one was home
Trunks made his way to the kitchen and eventually entered entered to see a trail of dried up blood, which made him panic. The Time Machine glitched and sent him a month after he left rather than a week, but nothing could've happened in just one month...right?
He followed the trail and spotted a chilling image on the floor
Trunks saw a trail of blood that ended in a small pool of dry blood. Around it was a white lab coat with a blue shirt and a pair of blue jeans...those were his mother's clothes!!!
"No. No no no no!! How could I let this happen!?!" Trunks yelled as he fell to his knees. Why did this have to happen to him?! After all that he did for the future! Why!?
He started to ball his eyes out for what felt like hours. His mother was gone... She had done so much for him in her lifetime. She let him train with Gohan, she took care of him while he was sick. Hell, she survived just to take care of her only son alone, in a post apocalyptic world where anything can happen, and also be able to give this world hope in the form of a time machine
She had sacrificed everything in order to give her son the best life possible and try to save a dying planet...
This enraged Trunks, it opened too many bad memories from 17 and 18, memories of when Gohan died... But he knew who was the true villan...Cell!!
He yelled one last time as loud as he could, his yellowish-gold hair and golden aura sparked as he did, accidentaly going full power as he yelled. But something happened, something that only happened twice before, in the timeline that he had just left
His colorful eyes that were always full of saddness became white in anger. His muscles extended a bit, and lightning sparked everywere.
He was now a Super Saiyan 2...and he was going to destroy everyone that ever damaged his world!!
A predatory urge to kill took over his mind as he tried to sense Cell's energy. He felt that his energy was close to full power and felt that he was in combat with apparently no one. Trunks knew he was fighting with the damned Androids. No matter, even if he would succeed in absorbing the pair...there was nothing stopping him from dying at the hands of the half breed...
Trunks flew upwards, destroying the roofs of the two story building as he flew away. He flew at full speed to try and catch the blasted Androids, so quickly that he parted and dispersed clouds in the sky as he passed
Soon, he reached Cell's location and saw the curent battle. Both 17 and 18 had small holes in their chests and they were standing back to back, facing Cell. Cell had many scratches all over his body, signaling the heavy resistance from the deadly duo. But overall, he had the clear advantage
17 and 18 turned, noticing Trunks floating in the air with a new form that they couldn't seem to recognize. It was that boy from a month ago! 17 and 18 were suprised at his appearance, they thought that he died out of nowhere, and they actually started to miss their play thing
Cell turned to finally acknowledge Trunks. But he didn't feel like sensing his energy, he knew that he was close to victory, and that everything else was just a distraction. That was the beginning of the end for Cell
"Ah, Trunks Briefs, you have finaly returned from your trip to the past. I notice that you found my suprise, and honestly, your mother was very talkitive when faced with dea-" Cell began, before he was inturupted by a fist from Trunks that sent him flying upwards. The half Saiyan had remained silent so far, but when Cell mentioned his dead mother in such a way he snapped and punched him in the jaw with his right hand
That attack suprised Cell, he couldn't even see it coming. He knew that Trunks had traveled back in time because his mother had confessed before he absorbed her, but he never knew what extraordinary powers that he had acquired. Cell was in for it now
Cell tried to recover by using ki to propel himself downwards to stop his ascent. Before Cell could act, however, Trunks suddenly apeared in front of Cell, grabbed his face and pulled him closer to his own
"You will pay for everything that you've done. I'll kill you before you can escape my justice!" He yelled into Cell's ear before throwing Cell towards the earth. Cell's back landed on the ground and created a crater on the floor
Trunks flew towards Cell and punched him repeatedlly as he was still down. Trunks continued to punch Cell all over his body for a full minute before letting his fist enter Cell's torso and stay there for a second. Trunks threw his arm up to throw Cell's already limp body directly above him and used a load of ki to create a bright orange shield around himself, suspending Cell in the air as he cooked on top of it
Cell was beyond shocked at Trunk's display of power. He never knew the true extent of the Saiyans until this moment. But he was angry at the fact that he was soo close to achieving his true power! If only he had decided to stop playing around and kill the other two before Trunks came!!
"Now die you damn Android scum!!" Trunks screamed as he let everything loose as a large beam left the ball of energy to propel Cell into the sky. The beam eventually enveloped his body as he screamed in exteme pain
Soon Cell was obliterated, and not a speck of him remained. Trunks released the energy that was gathered, but the form of the Super Saiyan 2 remained as he turned to look at the pair of Androids a ways away from where he was standing
"So, you killed him huh, that was an awesome display of effects there man." 17 said as he fell to the floor in agony, followed by 18. Trunks began to walk menacingly towards the pair as they were laying on the floor in pain
He was now standing over them as they stared at him with pained expressions. They were very cocky, yes, but after everything that has happened, they knew that Trunks' power FAR exceeded their own. They had lots of fun over the years, and they would never regret that
Trunks had contemplated saving the Androids and letting them become good people, just as the other Androids have in the past. But he was not himself right now. His mind was flooded with the horrors of his life and what he had been through
He remembered every last person he knew getting killed when he was a child, Piccolo, Krillin, Tien, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, Vegeta, and finally...his only friend and mentor, Gohan. His life was torn in half by these ruthless creatures. There was no way he was going to let them go!
He was flooded with rage and a sense of pride that HE shall be the one to avenge the deaths of the fallen. He's had enough of this fear and oppression at the hands of those monstrosities!
Trunks stood silently as he prepared two ki blasts strong enough to destroy the earth ten times over, but contained it into one controlled ball of ki. With one in each hand, he faced both his palms towards the Androids
"This nightmare is over now, I hope you two rot in Hell along with your creator." Trunks said as, without warning, launched both ki balls at the duo
Both balls exploded, causing a two mile radius fallout that enveloped Trunks and the Androids, but the half Saiyan wasn't dumb enough to let the balls of energy overtake the Earth, so they simply died out after a half second. A minute later the dust settled as Trunks was the only one standing in a very large and deep crater
Trunks fell to his knees and curled up into a ball as he slowly left the form and returned to his normal state. Suddenly, the pitch black clouds above started to pour an endless amount of rain u
But Trunks didn't care, he couldn't care anymore. Instead he cried to his hearts everlasting pain...
*Flash Forward*
"So that's how it went down...I had to wait several mouths to gather the energy for the Time Machine... everyone started to rebuild when I left...I just hope there isn't another Kami forsaken threat that no one can stop..." Trunks said with a small stream of tears running under his eyes
"So that's why you're here, oh you poor boy..." Bulma said as Trunks was crying profusely now. Bulma pulled in Trunks as both of them cryed silently for Trunks' true mother
Vegeta was aghast at what his son had said. The poor boy had handled everything in his way like a true Saiyan would, but the last part is where Vegeta had truely felt for him. He didn't dislike Bulma in any sense, and inwardly he grew attached to the short tempered woman. But the thought of something bad happening to Bulma, his Bulma...it angered him like never before
Vegeta silently hugged the two as he shed a single tear that no one noticed...
No one noticed, however, that Cell was still standing around the cornor of the door, listining to what had happend to Trunks
Cell smirked as he slowly walked away from the area... Good, his prayers were being answered...
After that day Trunks would permanately join his other parents in their daily schudule. He would wake up at 9AM and go to the table to have breakfast with Vegeta before they would go to the Gravity Room to train. They would train for a few hours until Trunks would go and hang around his mother awhile, after she stopped working. He would shower and fall asleep at 10PM to repeat his day
This forced Vegeta to torture Cell for only two hours just before Bulma would start to seek Cell near the end of the afternoon. But that didn't matter too much, ad long as his stress reliever was still around
Cell was still the same as he always was, wishing for his certain demise. Vegeta's attacks were fiercer than ever, and Cell always had a numb body at that point
After the two days had passed, 17 and 18 were now as strong as Semi-Perfect Cell. They never rested, keen on trying to best Cell and they now had an edge on him. And they intendid to use that to their advantage...
The two Androids hated Cell, after all, so they felt that they should do something about it
One night after the two sibling had finally returned from the Chamber Cell laid against a wall inside his empty room, which was a guest room at the end of the hall. He never decorated it, but the cleaning drones were let in often to clean, wiping away any leaked blood that may spill
The dazed Bio-Weapon was deep in a trance when the door opened to reveal 17 and 18 in their old Red Ribbion Army colthes, back when they released from their pods all that time ago. They both had giant smirks that revealed only one thing to Cell. They wanted in on the 'fun' he was having
"So, the great Cell is still alive and well. We know we can't change that, so we're gonna to play a little game." 17 said as he grabbed Cell by the head and lifted him up so he can stand, erasing all forms of sleep from Cell. He then got behind Cell and wrapped his arms around both of Cell's arms and held him in the same position
"Yeah, we call it 'punch dummy', the name still needs a little work though. The rules are simple, one of us punches you until you fall unconscious." 18 said as she suddenly slammed her fist into Cell's eye socket, making him see black spots around his vision
"Now that felt good." She thought as she punched Cell again, and again, and again
And thus began a new horror to Cell's schedule, one that was just as unending as the last
Some things changed over the next few years, much time had passed since the Cell games
18 and Krillin finally married each other after four years of being together. And they even had a baby named Marron. 18 had never felt so complete than when she was with Krillin, he always treated her with the respect and love that she always admired about him. He put her before anything else and didn't treat her like a prize to control or win over
Krillin had finally married 18 and completed his life. He no longer was a monk who was bullied by others, he was a man with a wife and kid. Seeing 18 everyday, smiling, happy made him feel special, it made him feel important
They bought, with the help of Bulma, an apartment in Satan City where Krillin also took the job of a cop
17 finally found a house to stay in, it was in the island that he always visited. He payed for the house with his own money that he'd been saving for the last year from his work with Sarah. They even started dating seriously, but it was usually restricted to the island, both of them liked their privacy
The Android duo, having had their fun, simply moved on from their horrid deeds like nothing had happened
Bulma and Vegeta became closer as a couple in the last years, even going on dates from time to time. After the third or fourth year Vegeta's attacks towards Cell contained less malice than before, he started to get closer to Bulma as a spouse would, and eventually he used his stress tool less and less. Eventually he stopped using his soothing tool all together after a year, not having any more use for the creature
The romantic couple had a wedding, however, Vegeta was not accepting of wearing such a simple ring to symbolize his love for Bulma, plus it could break in a heated battle. So instead they were called 'Mrs. and Mr. Briefs,' and Vegeta occasionally wore their marriage ring when he wasn't training
He still tormented Cell, but by now, it was more of a pass time than a requirement, something that he could do when he had a bad day
Bulma eventually stopped testing Cell as frequently as before, she had all she needed, and only ever called him to draw blood for the Senzu Pills
She grew closer to Vegeta and his Saiyan manners and saw that Vegeta was capable of feeling romance, but had trouble expressing it due to his pride. But deep down, he was gentle and very sensitive to some things, like her famous seduction techniques
She never did suspect a thing when it came to Vegeta's pass time...but even then there wasn't much to hide was there? It was just a secret pass time, nothing more
Goten was born a few months after the Cell games. Everyday after his birth, Chi-Chi and Gohan would visit Bulma to have a playdate between Kid Trunks and Goten. The pair were practicaly brothers. They did everything together and sometimes even visited each other's houses to sleep over
Both boys always had so much energy and were pretty playful. A few times in their childhoods, one would wander off and encounter Cell. But soon Chi-Chi or Gohan collect them again
Once the boys went up to Cell and tried to play with him, but all he did was stare blankly at the pair until they left the room. So the two avoided Cell from then on, however recently they had started to try and mess with Cell by taunting him, but that was just a boring rarity
Future Trunks had grown to become his counterpart's older brother, even though they were the same person. He still had his defined muscles because of training with his father, and he even stopped cutting his hair to leave it a bit lengthy
Many times he would encouter Cell and try to start a conversation with the Bio-Android, but Cell would remain quiet, forcing Trunks to leave the room. He was always so quiet and ominous, it spooked the half breed. No matter what he tried, he could never seem to get Cell to talk
A few months after the defeat of Cell, 16 was finally fully rebuilt by Bulma. She revealed his presence to the whole team, which shocked everyone, including Gohan. He always thought that he would be gone forever, and now he wasn't
16 would spend his days helping Bulma with Capsule Corp, watch the great outdoors, and observe Cell. He suspected something was wrong with Cell, Vegeta, 17 and 18, but he never find out what. He reported his suspicions to Bulma, who just laughed it off and looked no further into it
But in his spare time he would try to get answers from Cell, who just did the same as he did to everyone. He would also ask Vegeta, 17 and 18 about what was happening with Cell, only for them to reject the question and leave
Yamcha and Puar lived together in the same apartmant. Yamcha became the best baseball player ever, living a cushy lifestyle with fame, money and comfort
Tien and Chiaotzu started a farm, nothing knew there
Nothing changed in Kami house. Roshi was still a drunk old pervert who just spent his days looking at lewd magazines and cat calling hot women in the city. Oolong was still a pervert, but not to the extent of Roshi. And Turtle was still Turtle
Gohan was homeschooled for seven more years untill he finally went to a private high school in age 774
Chi-Chi had the biggest change compared to everyone else, she allowed Gohan to focus more on his training, as long as he kept up with his studies. She knew that he still had to fill his father's role as protector of the Earth while his father was gone. With the birth of Goten she sort of mellowed out, still strict but not as much as before
She finally acknowledged Gohan as a fighter and a protector, not her little boy that needed to study for his future. Goten reminded Chi-Chi of Goku, he was similar to the Goku she rememered in her childhood all those years ago...
Gohan soon became a local superhero, known as the Golden Warrior. Everyday Gohan would patrol Satan City in a stadard orange gi that his father used to wear and would stay in his Super Sayian 2 form so that no one could recognize him, however, he was immediately recognized as the boy who killed Cell
He became friends with two people at his school named Erasa and Videl, the daughter of Mr. Satan
Videl and Gohan had a rocky start as Videl was a crime fighter, and daughter of the national hero. She soon found out Gohan's secret and blackmailed him into training her in the art of ki. Videl grew closer to Gohan as they trained. He was goofy, caring, and really innocent. But Gohan didn't see her advances, which frustrated her in a way
But they were best friends all in all. There was the World Tournament coming up soon, and she wanted to show the fruits of her new ki control
The Son family also started a farm, which Gohan mainly took care of
Age 774 marks yet another catastrophic event for Earth, where death shall be feared the most for 1 day...
Many will say the day of loss, death and dispair. All but one...
