Disclaimer: own nothing, using for parody story :) sorry listening to star bomb(go listen if you like classic games)
Gohana was incredibly board for the next two classes, just as she was with her first class. Everything that the teachers were teaching, she had learned years ago right after getting back from Namik. So she decided to just take a nap to pass the time. Of course she was caught by her teachers, who had tried to catch her off guard by asking her a question, usually about something slightly more advanced than they were going over in the case of math. Gohana would just yawn, answer the question correctly, and then lay her head back down but keep her eyes on the board to keep the teachers off her back.
Time kept passing very slowly for the young saiyan as the next three classes were incredibly boring to her. Erasa and Videl were both impressed that no matter what she would answer every question correctly, even if it was stuff they swore they had not learned. It was getting close to the end of the fifth period and Gohana could feel her hunger creeping up on her. 'Please stomach, don't make a scene' she begged her body. But alas, shortly after she started feeling hunger, her stomach growled very loudly. It was loud enough that everyone was looking around for the source, and when her stomach growled again all eyes were on her. Gohana blushed deeply at being the sudden center of attention.
"Ms. Son, I will not have you disrupt my class with whatever it is you're doing." The teacher looked up at th girl scolding, not even sure what she was doing, just knowing it was distracting. She had already tried catching her off guard three times so far and failed, so had given up as she was confident she would still get good marks.
"Umm, sorry ma'am!" Gohana blushed even harder then turned to Erasa. "Erasa, when's lunch? I'm starving." She asked, her mouth already watering a little at the thought of her mothers cooking.
"That was your stomach?" Erasa asked somewhat shocked having been wondering what that noise was. Gohana just nodded slightly and Erasa just checked her watch. "You're in luck hun! About fifteen more minutes."
The next fifteen minutes seemed to go even slower for Gohana now, and her stomach wouldn't stop growling. Eventually the bell finally rang and Gohana couldn't have been happier. She threw her stuff back into her book bag and stood up.
"Hey Gohana, you want to eat with us?" Erasa asked.
"Come on Erasa, she's been hanging with us all day, why would she leave now?" Sharpner said with a cocky grin on his face with his arms folded in front of his chest. As a response, Gohana just raised an eyebrow questioningly at Sharpner.
"Dont mind Sharpy here Gohana, he just likes the fact the most famous girl in school and one of the hottest are his best friends. So adding the new girl is a big plus for him!" Videl teased.
Sharpner's face went red at Videls statement. "Hey Videl, that's not true!"
Erasa just giggled a bit to herself as Gohana just kept staring at the dynamic of the group. "Gohana, dont mind them. Videl does have a point though. We've been friends since we were all five. As Videl turned famous and I became one of the hot girls at school, it never changed our friendship." She noticed Videl picking on Sharpner now and just laughed. "Well, Videl teases Sharpner more now. She was his first crush."
"Was? What happened?" Gohana asked which Erasa just shrugged. "Videl became famous was one of the big reasons" she said laughing.
The four of them headed to the cafeteria, Gohana's stomach getting louder as they walked earning her looks from passerby. When they finally arrived Gohana made a bee line to a table and started rummage through her book bag for the capsule with her food in it. Finally finding it, she clicked the button on top and put it on the table so her food could decapsulize. Videl and the gang had sat down right as Gohana set the capsule on the table and were soon all shocked at the amount of food that was now right in front of them. Without missing a beat, Gohana started chowing down on her food.
"Itadakimasu!" She shouted, clapping her hands together.
Soon most people around her were staring at her in an odd mix of amazement and shock. Gohana kept eating her food while Videl, Sharpner, and Erasa tried getting their own food out, but were to emersed in watching their new friend.
"That's more than I've seen the two of you eat combined!" Erasa stated as she kept watching.
"Twice us combined? Hell my dad and his top students eat maaaaybe about three quarters of this!" Videl said in amazement. True she had seen eating competitions before, but this was on another level all together.
Gohana finally noticed that everyone around her was now transfixed on watching her. She was used to it a little bit, given any time she went out and ate with either her mother or Bulma. Still it was annoying none the less. "Can't a girl eat without being stared at!" She yelled to get everyone out of their state of shock. She didn't mean to be rude, but she learned long ago that appearing so helped people snap out of it.
"Damn Gohana, how do you eat all that food and keep your figure?" Erasa asked full of jealousy. She couldn't help but notice in swim class every single person kept glancing or staring at Gohana, even the teacher who was a national fitness competitor. Gohana thought for a moment to figure out the best way to answer.
"Well, as I said earlier I study Martial Arts, so it's not uncommon for someone practicing to have an increased hunger, right?" She said then took a few quick mouthfuls of the ramen in her hands. "That and I live in the mountains, so I have a lot of time to move around."
"Yeah, but to eat so much, how the heck do you burn through so many calories?" Sharpner brought up. "Surely you couldn't be so active ad study? Youd have to be training twenty-four seven!" Gohana couldn't help but smirk and chuckle to herself a bit at that. 'If only they knew'. She just smiled and rubbed the back of her neck. "Its a secret. Maybe someday I'll fill you in." She said, and had meant it. True she knew that if she were to make any true friends her age, they would have to know her secrets just as she had told Lime years ago. She just wasn't sure if she should yet.
Lunch came and went, and Gohana had finished every bite of food, much to the shock of her friends. Still, they didn't question it much beyond what they already had as they were not even sure what to ask beyond that. Arriving at their next class, Gohana walked in and caught sight of Jake who smiled and winked at her. Gohana just rolled her eyes at him, still not to fond of him after this morning. She just followed Erasa to their seats to sit next to them, when Videl's watch started beeping.
"Chief, whats wrong?" Videl asked expecting to have to leave, and hoping for an excuse as she hated history class.
"Nothing to worry about too much Videl. We just need to talk to you for a few moments when you have a moment about this morning. Can you come in after school?"
Videl wasn't about to let a chance slip to get out of history. It wasn't that she didn't like it, but this week in particular she wasn't fond of sitting through. "Sorry, but I'm going to take this. Ill be quick" she said to the teacher and headed out to the hallway. The teacher being used to Videl and her heroism just waved her off with a smile. She turned to the rest of the class ready to start the day.
"Alight class, listen up. Since this week is the anniversary of the Cell games, we will be going over not only that, but spending the next week going over some of the lesser known events that have happened similarly during the yeas before." Gohana's face fell a little bit all of a sudden, but then suddenly realized that no many people would even know the truth. Sure no one would know about Frieza on Earth, but she knew darn well that when Vegeta and Nappa first came to earth that Yajirobi had spilt a lot. Most people just seemed to forget. Even the incident with King Piccolo hen he dad was younger was part of advanced obscure history. Not to mention Turles and King Slug as well. But everything came and went so quickly, maybe no one would take anything seriously, or maybe what she was remembering wouldnt translate to normal people knowing about. at the very least, she prayed it just stuck with their fight against the saiyan and king piccolo. They didnt have footage of her fighting in either.
Erasa noticed Gohana looked a little down now, and was wondering why such a great event would be so down. "Gohana, you alright?"
Gohana couldn't help but shed a few tears without realizing she was doing so. She wiped her tear off with her hand and smiled at Erasa. "Yeah, its just...this time of year brings up some painful memories. I'll be alright, i promise."
"Well, alright hun. If you say so." Erasa put her hand on Gohana's shoulder to try and comfort her, deciding not to push it yet as she could see the pain in her eyes. Gohana smiled back and nodded. Gohana just waited for the lecture to start, still a little bit sad from the memories from earlier. At this point Videl walked back in, "Sorry about that ma'am" she said as she hurried to her seat, while the teacher just waved it off with a smile.
"Its alright dear, I'm sure you already know everything for todays lecture so its alright." Videl took her seat and groaned. She hated this time of the year because no one would leave her alone. She hated how everyone treated her so special just because of what her father did. 'Can't blame them for worshiping the savior of the world i guess' she thought to herself.
As the lecture started and went on, Gohana was just passively listening to what her teacher was saying while taking some notes. She never did learn exactly what the world thought happened, just that Hercule had said he killed Cell. Still she couldn't focus on the lecture. She wasn't even sure what exactly she was writing, she was letting her hands just write as she tried to not think to much on the subject. Anything that Hercule had talked about, she had to say it technically did happen, he just twisted the facts all around. Still her emotions kept creeping up. She had thought and dreamt about it many times, but to be listening to an outsiders take on it? she was starting to crack a little bit emotionally. She was about to ask if she could be excused for a moment, until what she heard triggered everything.
"And soon Cell and the mysterious orange fighter from before went out of sight for a few moments, before Cell returned for the last light trick between him and the delivery girl. I was..." the teacher read.
***flashback***
"Gohana! You have to end it now! We can't let Cell get desperate!" Goku yelled to his daughter.
Gohana shifted her gaze from a beaten and battered Cell to her father and scoffed. "Hee, sorry daddy. But Cell has caused so much pain." She smirked not to far from Vegeta, staring back at the regenerating Cell. "Cell deserves to suffer now."
Goku was in shock at what his daughter was saying. Gone was the innocent girl who was uneasy with fighting, and now she was enjoying making someone else suffer. Even if it was Cell, this wasn't her.
Soon Cell finished regenerating and was glaring back down at Gohana. "No, this can't happen! I am the perfect being! There shouldn't be anyone who can stand up to me. GAHHHHHH! YOU WILL REGRET THIS!" He screamed while bulking up to his maximum size in a state of pure rage. He wouldn't let anyone, especially a 11 year old girl, stop him. Landing a ways away from Gohana, he powered up as much as he could before launching himself towards her. "NOW YOU DIE!"
Hitting with a solid right jab straight across Gohanas cheek, Cell smirked to himself at Gohana reacting to the blow. He started pounding her face with a few more punches until he landed a blow on her left temple and Gohana decided to start toying with him more. She stayed perfectly still even as Cells' fist hit her face, causing the fear to return to Cells face.
"Oh, I'm sorry. But I didn't realize I was fighting a bug!" Gohana taunted him while smirking, and launched forward, slamming her knee into Cell's gut then a spinning roundhouse kick to his face sending him flying a few hundred yards.
When Cell tried standing up, he suddenly doubled over in pain and was holding his stomach. "What...what's going on?" He screamed in confusion. He could feel a massive pressure in his gut, and it wasnt from the blow he had received just moments prior.
Gohana just kept causally walking towards him, her aura flaring with electric arches dancing around her. She stopped a bit of a way from him and watched as it looked like something was forcing its way from his mouth. She soon saw one of the androids being vomited from Cell, and she just smiled to herself as she saw him revert to what she assumed was his previous form from the immense power drop he went through and the physical change.
"Pathetic."
Cell just glared at Gohana, and soon his discomfort had gone to be replaced with even more anger. He continued to try and punch Gohana, but this time Gohana decided to effortlessly dodge every blow, by barely an inch just to add insult to injury. After a punch to the face sending Cell back a bit again, he stood there with a look of immense fear, but soon he just smiled and started laughing. He couldn't allow her to win. He would rather die at his own hands than allow someone to best him. At that moment, Cell started laughing.
"Silly girl, you think that you have me beat? Well, lets see who laughs last!" He said and soon he started expanding in size like a balloon.
Gohana just looked in wonder, having not seen a technique like this. 'What is he doing? I don't recognize this at all. So far he's only used our abilities.' She thought to herself without letting it show on her face. She wasn't sure what to do, but she figured that whatever he tried would be to slow.
"Im now set to self destruct! You have one final minute, until I blow up! And this entire planet will be gone! All your loved one's will be obliterated because of you. I may not be able to kill you, but you wont defeat me!" Cell yelled to his foe before him with a hint of joy.
Gohana tensed up at the though of that, and instinctually got into a stance to blast him with a Kamehamea wave, "kameee.."
"I wouldn't do that if i were you! At this point attacking me would just make me explode instantly!" He sneered at the young warrior in front of him. "There is nothing you can do anymore."
Gohana's face was now the one that showed fear in it. She had no idea what she could do to stop this. Internally she was yelling at herself. She fell to her knees and kept hitting the ground multiple times as she kept yelling in her mind, 'damn it damn it damn it! I could have stopped him! Why didn't I listen to dad!'. She couldn't hear anything else around her, all she could hear was deafening silence. She was so engulfed in her out self pity and anger that she didn't even notice the sudden figure between herself and Cell.
"Gohana, you did great sweety." Came the calm an gentle voice of her father
Gohana quickly snapped out of it and looked up, her fear obvious in her face but now confusion was replacing it. She had no idea how to save everyone and more than anything she was angry with herself that she had let her father down by not listening to him earlier. Even though she was now the strongest warrior known, she felt just like she did in her first fight against Vegeta and Nappa, completely powerless and useless. But Goku just had a smile on his face. The same smile that she had grown up seeing, the same smile that brought her calmness and gave her hope, the same smile she inherited from him, the same smile that both she and her mother loved so much. "But, but I failed. Cell won. Everyone...they're..." She squeaked, feeling utterly defeated.
"You did amazing Gohana, far better than even I though you'd do. I knew you'd be stronger than Cell. I'm so very proud of you! You didnt fail anyone!" He said praising her with a big smile.
'Why is he praising me? Were all about to die! I can't get Cell off the Earth and yet he is just, happy? What does he..." her eyes snapped at the sudden realization of what was about to happen, as Goku put up two fingers up to his forehead and his other hand onto Cell. Gohana couldn't help as a tears started flowing down. "No...d-daddy...please...don't." she weakly pleaded with wide eyes, barely able to even get the words out in more than a whisper. She was barely able to move or even breath right now. She couldn't even hold her new ascended form and dropped back to her regular super state.
Goku gave his daughter one last smile, "I Love you Gohana! More than the thrill of fighting, you and your mother are what pushed me even further than that. Please, tell your mother that I Love her, and...I'm sorry."
"No, stop. You can't take this victory away from me!"
Goku quickly had a look of concentration on his face as he was about to use his Instant Transmition. Gohana's body suddenly jumped alive as she quickly got up and lunged at her father to get him away from Cell, they still had time to try something else. But both he and Cell vanished just before she made contact with her father.
Gohana fell to the ground right where her father had just stood. She was on her hands and knees, trembling in a slight state of shock and frantically looking around trying to sense him. She just barely managed to find him, but she couldn't tell were he was. All she knew was she sensed him, and then almost as suddenly as she found him, his energy was gone. She knew they were not on Earth as she was still there, but then soon the realization of what just happened hit her. Her father had died because of her arrogance and pride. She had essentially killed him. Gohana collapsed onto the ground, crying as she couldn't handle the weight of what had just happened.
***end flashback***
Erasa heard a small sniffling next to her and found that Gohana had tears flowing down her face onto her notebook where she had kept writing 'im sorry' and 'im so sorry daddy' over and over in chicken scratch because her entire body kept trembling. A few other students around them had also noticed and kept glancing over. Even Videl and Sharpner kept looking from time to time. Erasa was now worried about Gohana and just reached out wanting to comfort her. Gohana just flinched and was staring at Erasa with tears flowing down her face, and a look of helplessness in her eyes. Erasa had no idea what was going on, but she couldn't let Gohana stay like this in the middle of class. She stood up and grabbed Gohana's arm, motioned for Videl to follow and pulled her out of the class without so much an explanation to the teacher. She figured if Videl was rushing with them, they wouldnt be questioned. Luckily she was correct as the teacher picked up something was happening between the three girls and didn't mind them leaving as this material was covered each year.
Gohana was still a little bit too into her emotions, she just followed where she was being pulled. and soon she was now outside under a large tree. Erasa remembered her mentioning she feels comfortable around nature having always lived in the mountains during lunch and thought this the best place right now for her. Gohana just curled up a little laying on her side, hugging her knees close to her chest and strained to not let her energy trigger as it usually did, causing a lot of strain. Erasa just sat next to her and just let the girl have her peace. Both girls just watched as Gohana stayed like that for a while, eventually her sobbing calmed down a little and Gohana just fell asleep against the grass, tired from her emotional episode. The noticed how peaceful Gohana looked, curled up asleep on the grass, as her hair swayed in the slight breeze that was present.
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I did concider not even having the flashback in there, but in the end i felt i needed it there. Im glad I did!
