Hi everybody! All my friends started new fics and I don't like to be left out so here we go. If ya haven't read my other fic, then read it. It's a humor and I've been told it's pretty good. If ya want a really good fic then go check out Lady Melanie's fics. I might advertise a few fics at the end of the chapter. There won't be too much humor at the beginning, but it will pick up later. Just a little warning, if you r one of those people that only like the naïve (and dorky) Gohan, then this fic is not for you. Oh yeah, I don't own DBZ and probably never will unless I can beat my sis to it.
Chapter 1:I'm already gone.
"NNNNNNNNOOOOOOO!" Gohan screamed as his father and the monster known as Cell vanished into thin air," DADDY!!!" Gohan slowly sank to his knee's, the pain he was feeling emotionally was far worse that what any attack could have done. Gohan abruptly buried his arm, halfway up to his elbow, into the ground. Tears streamed down his face.
Gohan felt someone put a hand on his shoulder. A second later, he heard Krillin's voice," Just let it out Gohan. It'll be OK."
Gohan hadn't really been paying attention. A little voice had begun to speak in the back of his head. It kept whispering to him,' He wouldn't have died if wasn't for you. It's all your fault. Your just as responsible as Cell. It's all your fault, It's all your fault, It's…'
"IT'S ALL MY FAULT!" Gohan screamed, and he 'let it out'. Krillin's hand, and whole body was blown away from Gohan. He flew through the air and came to a sudden halt as he hit something that was rock hard. He looked up and saw Vegeta giving him a look that promised death if he didn't get off within the next second. Krillin gave a squeak and jumped away. He then turned his attention back to Gohan. Gohan's aura had reappeared and lightning was crackling around him. His aura kept abruptly growing bigger and then shrinking, as if he was about to take another step up in power . In one last burst of power, the aura became gigantic and them vanished altogether as Gohan's rage and power left him. He slowly got to his feet and began to walk toward the rest of the Z fighters, head down and exhaustion etched in every feature.
As he neared the group, he was blasted from behind with a powerful wind. Dirt whipped up and began to swirl around in a vortex. Gohan slowly straightened his shoulders and turned around. His eyes were blazing with rage and all tiredness had left him." Come on out Cell. I know your there. Stop hiding." As if in answer the whirlwind of dust stopped, but before Gohan's vision cleared a beam of energy shot out of the cloud. Gohan frowned as it passed to his right by a couple of feet. Gohan's eyes widened in realization and he turned around to shout a warning, but it was too late. The beam lanced straight through Mirai Trunks' chest.
Gohan heard mocking laughter and turned around snarling. He said nothing, but glared at Cell with such intensity that you would almost expect fire to leap from his eyes at any second. In fact, there were small lightning bolts dancing around them. Gohan was distracted when he heard a roar from behind him and saw Vegeta's SS form shoot past him. Vegeta began to unleash hundred's of powerful blasts at Cell. Gohan stared. He was frozen in surprise and couldn't move even though he knew that the impressive onslaught was doing little good. After several minutes of innumerable blasts and a few howl's of anger from Vegeta, the attack stopped and Vegeta muttered something that Gohan couldn't hear. Suddenly, Cell burst from the cloud of dust that Vegeta's ki blast barrage had created. Gohan distinctly heard him say," It's over, when I say it's over.." just before he sent Vegeta skidding across the ground several hundred feet away from the rest of them. Gohan's mind began to work again,' This can't be happening. Dad is dead, Trunks is gone, and Vegeta will be too and its ALL MY FAULT!' Gohan was struggling for control when he heard Cell say," Good bye Vegeta.". Gohan's last thread of control snapped and he let out a fresh yell of rage and launched himself at Cell.
Cell had his hand outstretched, pointed at the still form of Vegeta. He was about to release a killing blast, when he heard a yell and felt a fist connect with the side of his face. He flew backwards about 50 feet before he managed to stop. He looked up to see the troublesome half saiyan floating there, with his aura flickering wildly. It would shoot out and then shrink back to normal. Cell laughed," Well, it looks like you've got some fight left in you. Surely you've noticed by now that you have no chance. My power has increased and you are nothing in comparison."
In response Gohan launched a weak ki blast at Cell. Cell only laughed and let the blast hit him. He didn't even feel it. The smoke from the blast blocked Gohan from his view. He continued to laugh at the saiyan's weakness. He was cut short as he felt a fist rip through his stomach. His eyes widened as he found himself staring into the cold lifeless eyes of his opponent. Cell's hearing had gone strangely mute, but he still saw Gohan's lips form the words," It's over."
At this point Cell came to two realizations. First was that the blast was only meant to blind him. And the second was that he had once again pushed the boy too far. He came to these points a second before Gohan let loose a shout and released a blast that ripped Cell apart from the inside.
On the ground, the only thing the Z warriors had seen was Gohan launch a blast at Cell and then vanish. A few seconds later, they heard a yell followed by an enormous explosion. They waited with bated breath for the smoke to blow away. When the smoke cleared they saw Gohan floating in the air with his eyes closed and head bowed. Without opening his eyes or looking up, he descended to the desert floor. He landed by Vegeta and, to the surprise of the Z warriors, pulled one of Vegeta's arms around his neck and helped him to his feet. The Z fighters were even more surprised to see that Vegeta didn't argue. He just gave Gohan a small nod and allowed himself to be helped back toward the group. The Z warriors only stood there, waiting for them.
Over behind some rocks, the two news people were whispering excitedly." Are you sure you've got it working Joe?"
The camera man nodded," The audio is up, so you'll be able to get an interview with the kid." The reporter said," It's still hard to believe that a child could do what Hercule couldn't." he gave his head a little shake," Alright lets go."
In all the cities around the world, people were anxiously waiting around TV's for news on whether they would live or not. They didn't have to wait much longer as the reporter's voice boomed out of thousands of speakers around the world," I'm sorry for the inconvenience folks, but our one and only camera was put out of commission. But we have managed to get our audio working so we are now going to try and get an interview with our champion, the small boy who was fighting Cell. In an incredible display of skill and power, our young hero defeated the monster Cell. Ahh yes. Sir. Could I have a word."
A new voice came in. It was a cold voice that was obviously tired," Get the hell away from me."
The reporter's nervous voice came back," Umm… I'd like to ask you a few questions on your defeat of Cell. What were you thinking while you were fighting? Have you been in high pressure situations before?"
Another gruff voice broke in," Give the boy a break. He just lost his father and he doesn't need you in his face asking him about it." the new voice snarled.
This time the reporter's voice had a hint of fear in it," Can you at least tell us your name?"
The gruff voice came back," The only thing you need to know is that his name is Gohan and he is an Elite Saiyan Warrior."
The boy's voice came back," The first person that tries to find me will die. That's your only warning." The sound of departing footsteps came over the speakers.
The reporters voice came back, a little shaken from the boys threat," And there you have it folks. Our savior is a young boy named Gohan. He and his companions have just taken to the air and are already out of our sight. Sadly two men died while our camera was down and I would like to take a moment of silence for these brave fighters that sacrificed there lives in battle for our planet." Silence reigned for a few minutes before the announcers voice came back on," Thank you. The documentary of the Cell Games will be available soon with a look at what actually happened while the camera was down. And for please, don't go looking for Gohan, The Champion of the Cell Games."
I was gonna end here, but that would be kinda short and make the chapter title pointless . So lets keep goin.
Gohan and the gang were now flying swiftly to Kami's Lookout. Tien and Yamcha were carrying Trunks body between them. Gohan was still helping Vegeta along. Vegeta had agreed to accompany them to the lookout, at least until his son was revived. Gohan could hardly control his impatience. He wanted to get to the lookout as fast as he could, so that he could wish his father back. But he remained behind and helped Vegeta along. Gohan was startled when he heard Vegeta speak," Thank you, Gohan."
"For what?"
Vegeta gave him a look of disbelief," What do you mean 'For what' you risked your life to save mine. You're the only reason we're still here. And you still remain beg=hind to help me even though you desperately want to hurry ahead to wish Kakarot back." Vegeta didn't give Gohan a chance to deny it," You've nearly broken my arm by squeezing it so hard. If you want to leave then you can. I can manage." Gohan nodded but didn't let go and Vegeta was grateful. He'd spent more energy than he'd thought and the blow from Cell had done more damage than he'd admit.
Soon the lookout came into view and the Z Warriors sped up. Vegeta nearly had his arm dislocated as Gohan kept jetting ahead and then slowing down for the other fighters to catch up, before he'd fly ahead again. They finally arrived and saw Dende standing in front of all seven dragon balls. When all the Z fighters landed Dende nodded and turned around without saying anything. He put his hands out over the mystical balls and shouted," Eternal Dragon! By your name I summon you forth, SHENRON!" Beams of light began to shoot out of the balls and with a a brilliant flash of golden light, the dragon emerged.
Towering several hundred feet above them, with his body twisting and turning in an endless maze, Shenron could be an intimidating sight. His red eyes glowed and his voice boomed out over the small group of assorted people," You have awakened me from my slumber. I will grant you any two things as long as it is within my power."
Dende shouted the first wish up to the dragon," I wish for all the people that Cell killed to be returned to life!"
The dragon's eyes glowed for a second before he said," Your wish has been granted."
Every body turned around when they heard a stirring behind them. Mirai Trunks slowly sat up from his resting place on the ground. He looked up and his eyes widened as he saw the Eternal Dragon for the first time. He was speechless. A huge, several mile long dragon can have that effect.
At this point Dende looked at Gohan, who nodded." Dragon! We want to wish the man known as Goku ba-"
"Hey don't make the wish yet!" Every bodies head snapped up and they began to look around." Hi guys" Goku's cheerful voice said," I'm talking through King Kai. You guys can't wish me back."
They were all shocked and a few heads turned to Gohan. His eyes had narrowed again. " Why?" He said in a quiet voice that was filled with pain.
Goku went on, oblivious to his son's emotional anguish," Well for one thing there are a tone of strong fighters around here and I definitely will have plenty of sparing partners."
"So what!" Gohan snapped," There are plenty of strong people here. There's Vegeta and Piccolo and you know I'm a stronger now."
Goku still hadn't noticed his sons anger," Well, the other reason is that I'm the one that always puts the earth in danger. All the people that come here are looking for me and I thought--"
" BULL SHIT! You're such a liar! You only want to stay there so you can get stronger. And not all the people came here for you. Garlic Jr. came for Kami, Vegeta and Nappa came for the dragon balls, sure the androids were created for you but they didn't care about killing you!"
"Goku's slightly nervous voice said," Gohan-"
"Fuck this (I'm not gonna up the rating just cause I said fuck once.). I'm outta here." and he blasted off.
He heard Goku's voice call out," OK! Bye Gohan."
Gohan shook his head and flew faster. He realized that he hadn't dropped out of SS2 yet and was already almost to his destination.. Soon the large shape of CC rose up before him. He zeroed in on the ki of a certain blue haired scientist and landed. He immediately took off running toward the nearest door. It exploded inward from the power he was generating. He shook it off and kept running toward Bulma's location. Doors blew apart around him as he ran past them. He finally reached The lab that Bulma was working in. As the door burst in, Gohan saw the genius look u, startled. " Give me a ship Bulma." he said in the deathly quiet voice that he had used when speaking to Goku.
"But why Goh-"
"Now." Bulma's eyes widened.
She suddenly heard a shout," Women!"
"Vegeta! I'm in here! Come quick!" Vegeta flew through the door and saw Gohan standing there in front of his mate. "He wants me to give him a ship but I don't understand."
Vegeta looked hard at Gohan before he answered," Give it to him.. Bulma stared at him for a moment before she rushed to one of her tables and grabbed a capsule off it. She handed it to Gohan.
Gohan ran outside and threw the capsule on the ground. A ship appeared out of the cloud of colored smoke. It was similar to the one that Vegeta had used while training for the androids. Gohan was about to run up the ramp when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked back and saw Vegeta standing there. Vegeta suddenly broke into a grin," You truly are a saiyan warrior, Gohan. If you ever feel like coming back, then go ahead. This planet wll miss you." Gohan looked at Vegeta in surprise for a moment before he ran into the ship. A second later the engines began to glow. Bulma ran outside and called
out," Gohan wait!"
Gohan's voice came out over the ships speakers," Forget it Bulma. I'm already gone."
Well what do ya think. I already got the second a third chapter's written (did it in school) but I need to type them. I know that Vegeta was a bit sappy and I know that I'll probably get flamed for Gohan hating Goku, but I don't care. That's what I wanted to happen in this fic. REVIEW!
Predator and Prey
by PsychoAnn.This is an incredible AU fic. there is a balance between Gohan and Videl. But what happens when that balance is lost. The balance between love and hate, predator and prey. This definitely deserves your time.
