Hi fans! Now, while I know that this isn't my first Gohan crossover series, I thought this would be a fun series to do. I actually got to see Rick Riordan speak a few months ago on his Magnus Chase tour, which got me interested in the books. Well, I decided to finally read the Percy Jackson books. Well, I pretty much loved it. (Way better than those movies) So, while I'm writing that Master Chief and Harry Potter Jedi/ Series, I got the idea to write this Percy Jackson and DBZ crossover. I hope you all enjoy this newest story.
Prologue…
The multiverse. A place of infinite possibility. Where everything that can, does exist. Countless tales exist here, full of heroes and monsters: a group of children enter a wardrobe and emerge into a world of endless winter inhabited by talking animals and become heroes. A teenage girl volunteers for The Hunger Games to save her sister and ignites a revolution. A young boy with a lightning scar on his head is told that he is a wizard and enters a world of magic. This is a place where everything and anything is possible.
Our story starts with a pair of tales that many know by heart.
The first is the story of The Cell Games, where the nefarious bioandroid Cell fought the group known as the Z Fighters in a battle for the Earth. The tale goes the same way in many of them. The saiyan warrior Goku fights Cell in a pitched battle, but ultimately concedes. He then chooses his son, Gohan to fight, believing that the boy had a hidden power. This power was finally unleashed when Gohan witnessed the death of the brave warrior Android 16, allowed him to take the Super Saiyan 2 form and easily overwhelm Cell. Yet, the power causes him to become arrogant, and in that arrogance, fail to finish off the nefarious android when the opportunity presents itself.
This gave the android the chance he needed to activate the bomb hidden inside him, which would mean the destruction of the Earth. Goku managed to teleport Cell away from the Earth, saving the world at the expense of his own life. However, Cell was able to survive and returned to Earth, fatally wounding the warrior Trunks. After a brazen attack on the android by a crazed Vegeta. Gohan was wounded by Cell… well, the bottom line is that a wounded Gohan and a Cell engaged in a massive Kamehameha duel to the death, with the fate of the Earth in the balance.
Now, this is where the line diverges. In the version we all know, thanks to the faith and love of his father, Gohan manages to unleash the last of his power, killing the android and saving the Earth and bringing about an era of peace. Of course… this wasn't the only scenario. In one universe, Cell managed to overcome Gohan and destroy him, before then slaying the rest of the Z-Fighters and conquering the Earth with an army of Cell Juniors. In another, the scenario plays out similar like the first, but in this one, Cell managed to survive the blast. A year later, Gohan would receive a letter to a magical school known as Hogwarts… the list goes on and on.
The second tale is the story of Percy Jackson, the hero who never wanted to be one. Born the son of Poseidon, Percy grew up an outcast and a drifter, living with an abusive step-father who made his and his mother's lives miserable. Kicked out of every school he went to and labeled a trouble child, Percy's life would forever change the day he accidentally vaporized his pre-algebra teacher, setting his life in a new direction, to a new place. It is here where these two stories, by a chance, a twist of fate, cross.
"Say goodbye, boy!" Cell roared as the blue light in his hands grew even larger, causing the rumbling in the ground to intensify. Gohan gritted his teeth as he clenched his fist tighter, forcing his own blast to intensify in both size and power, while the rest of the Z Fighters stood back in helplessness as the battle continued.
"Gohan!" Piccolo roared. Then, both fighters let their blasts fly, shooting toward each other at incredible speeds before colliding in a massive explosion, both beams smashing against each other in a battle for dominance, both fighters grunting as they struggled to keep their beams intact against each other. Gohan grunted as he sank into the ground several inches.
"Damn you, boy! I will destroy you and this world once and for all!" Cell roared as he focused, causing his beam to grow even larger. At that moment, as the two beams clashed, something happened. A bright white flash erupted from the centerpoint of the clash, followed by what seemed like a numb silence. Then, the beams seemed to slowly bend around each other, like a whirlpool.
A second later, a second shock wave shot around the arena, causing the other Z Fighters to yell as they covered their faces. When the dust settled, they lowered their hands and gaped. Now, there was a swirling vortex between Gohan and Cell. It appeared to be a bright blue light… and was sucking everything in nearby like a vacuum. Huge chunks of earth tore out of the ground. Gohan and Cell's beams were still shooting out of their hands, but were now swirling into both ends of the vortex, almost like they were feeding it.
"Gohan!" Piccolo roared. Gohan grunted.
"I… can't... stop it!" he screamed.
"What is this?" Cell roared. Clearly, neither fighter understood just what the heck was going on.
Slowly, Gohan started to slide foward, his feet scraping against the ground. Both the saiyan and the android were being dragged into the vortex, inch by inch.
"G-Gohan!" Krillin cried as he started to run, but was stopped by Vegeta.
"Don't be a fool!" The wounded saiyan ordered as the force from the vortex grew even stronger. It was takin even him some difficulty to avoid getting pulled into its grip.
"Gohan!" Gohan heard his father's voice scream inside his head, but it was too late. Gohan cried out as he flew forward and was enveloped in the vortex. The air was still for one brief second. Then, the orb instantly shrank to the size of a golf ball, and exploded, sending a shock wave flying out that sent everyone flying, Z Fighters and Mr. Satan's group included. When the Z Fighters finally got to their feet, they stared in shock and disbelief. Save for a large crater where the battle had been, the battlefield was deserted, with neither Gohan or Cell to be seen.
"Gohan!" Krillin cried out as he broke off from Vegeta's grasp and shot into the air over the battlefield, looking frantically for his friend.
"What… what is going on, Namek?" Vegeta barked.
"They're… gone, both of them. I can't sense either of their energies!" Piccolo answered, a numb expression on his face.
"They're... dead?" Yamcha asked.
"I… don't know." Krillin was a bit more frantic.
"Oh no, who's gonna tell Chi-Chi?" No one wanted to even contemplate that one.
"We gotta get to the Lookout!" Krillin took off immediately. The other Z Fighters followed, leaving only Mr. Satan and his group of morons, who looked absolutely perplexed.
"What… happened?" the dumbfounded wrestler asked, but no one answered. There were a lot of questions, and he wasn't the only one.
"King Kai, what happened? What happened to Gohan?" Goku asked in utter disbelief.
"Ooo ooo!" Bubbles grunted.
"I do not know for sure, Goku. They're not dead, they have been… ripped out, and taken somewhere else." King Kai answered. Goku stared at the kai in disbelief, feeling incredibly… helpless. He could feel a sinking feeling in his stomach, which he shouldn't have been able to feel given that he was dead and all.
"Gohan... where are you?"
Gohan had felt pain before. His first beating by his uncle Raditz, watching Piccolo died for the first time, the thrashing Vegeta had given him, watching his father die...
But he had never felt pain like this. He felt like every atom of his very bein was being ripped apart. He let out a howl of agony, which seemed to reverberate and intensify around him. He couldn't even breathe as a kaleidoscope of colors flashed across his eyes, images so fast and numerous that he couldn't even begin to process them.
Then, just as it had started, it stopped. Gohan was suddenly blasted with light. Wind blasted him in the face as he found himself falling, fear beating in his heart like a drum. He tried to stabilize himself, maybe take flight, but with absolutely no success. As he fell, all he could see flashes of blue sky, and a loud rumble of thunder. Normally, he could have easily caught himself. But, thanks to his battle with Cell, he could barely move. The ground rushed towards him. Before the thought could cross Gohan's mind, he hit the ground. Hard. Whatever pain he had peaked in that moment.
Every inch of his body throbbed in pain, and all he could do in that moment was goan and lay in the dirt. Gohan blinked at the sky, getting one clear look of a blue sky and dark clouds in the distance as the sky rumbled. He could faintly hear cries and yelling from somewhere, but he wasn't sure from where. Then, a girl came into his field of vision: a pretty blonde girl in an orange shirt with bright blonde hair. Her eyes shone with... confusion?
That was the last thing Gohan saw before he passed out.
Awesome, right? This is the start of a brilliant new adventure, one that I hope you'll all enjoy! Review!
