Hey everyone, I'm back with a new story. This one won't be super long. It's just a thought that kept bugging me, so I decided to make it. This story is post-Buu Saga. Before you read this story, you need to know the small changes I made. Goku was never given Elder Kai's remaining lifespan. Instead, Elder Kai gave Goku the ability to TEMPORARILY teleport between realms even though he's dead. So at the beginning of this story, Goku is still dead.
Also, Gohan can transform into a Super Saiyan like regular after Elder Kai's unlocking ability. When his power was unlocked, he was about to transform into a Super Saiyan, but was stopped before he could. Kibito, Supreme Kai, and even Elder Kai told him that what he had here was more than enough, so they told him to save Super Saiyan as a last resort. Before he could transform though, he was absorbed.
"Gohan!"
"Gohan!"
"Wake up!"
"Wake up!"
"GOHAN!!!!!!!!!"
"Alright Goten I heard, shut up!"
These were the yells coming from the room of Son Gohan. Gohan had accidentally destroyed his alarm clock again, so he missed his wake-up call. His mother eventually sent his little brother to wake him up. Goten said "Hurry up and get ready Gohan. Mom said she isn't gonna give me breakfast until you're ready."
Gohan chuckled. Even though it's been 7 years, he could never stop being amazed at the similarities that Goten had with their dad. Gohan said "Get out of here. Tell mom I'll be there in a few minutes."
After dressing, Gohan went downstairs to see his mom and brother sitting at the table waiting for him. Quickly eating, Gohan looked at his watch to see the time. His eyes widened "7:50. Oh crap, I'm gonna be late to school!"
Gohan got up from the table and ran out of his house. Remembering that he forgot something, he ran back into the house to grab a small bag. The bag was full of Senzu Beans. He quickly pressed a red button on the side of his watch, giving him an instantaneous change of clothes.
When Gohan first went to his new school in Hercule City, he saw that there was a bunch of crime. He felt that he needed to do something about it, so when he decided to become a superhero, he stopped a bank robbery by transforming into a Super Saiyan. Then, he went to Bulma for help. She gave him the watch and his first change of clothes. When Gohan first saw those clothes, he immediately thought 'I'll be the laughingstock of Hercule City.'
Gohan took the watch with the suit, but when he got home, he immediately started working on a new suit. He got rid of the green tunic, the belt, the cape, and the helmet the suit originally had, leaving him with white gloves, white shoes that were gold at the tips, and a black spandex body suit. Getting an idea, Gohan opened a capsule he kept with him at all times.
In that capsule were mementos from his adventures. He had his sword from when Piccolo left him alone for 6 months in the wilderness, his hat that he wore when he was a kid, his Saiyan Armor he got from Frieza's ship on Namek, his white scarf and headband from the battles with Nappa, Vegeta, and the Ginyu Force, and his cloak from Piccolo. He grabbed his old Saiyan Vest and put it on. Even though he got it when he was 7, it was one-size-fits-all, so it still fit him comfortably. Also, the Vest could deflect bullets and small ki blasts, so he didn't have to get hit by them.
Taking it back off, Gohan took a can of paint and started spraying. He sprayed the Saiyan Vest black and red. Most of it was black, but the shoulder pads and the 6-pack area was blood red. He then took his white boots and painted their gold tips blood red.
With that, he went Super Saiyan and his new look was complete. Since that day, he fought crime as the Gold Fighter. When Bulma saw him, she admitted that it looked better than the costume she gave him. She even added onto it, giving him shades. But they only looked like shades.
These shades had a built-in earpiece that allowed him to hear police radios. Also, the shades had a HUD that showed him a compass, a map of the city, and highlighted in red where the problem was happening. For example, if he heard that there was a robbery of the bank on Hercule Avenue, his shades would mark Hercule Avenue Bank in a red light that shined skyward for miles so he could see it anywhere in the city, and they showed him the directions to get there fastest. Also, they tinted guns red so if he had to sneak into anywhere, he could see if someone was armed or not.
Powering up to Super Saiyan, Gohan took off for Orange Star High School in Satan City. Gohan easily made it there in 5 minutes, landing on the roof and turning back to normal. Going into class 1 minute before the bell rang, Gohan sat down by his usual friends.
His friend Erasa was happy to see him like always. She was blonde haired and had blue eyes and was nice to Gohan from the moment she met him. His other friend Sharpener had blonde hair also, but Sharper had black eyes. Sharpner was the school jock. He was the captain of the boxing, wrestling, and baseball teams. He first thought Gohan was a nerd when they met, but as time went on he started warming up to Gohan.
The last girl there was a girl named Videl Satan. After the World Martial Arts Tournament and the Majin Buu fiasco, Gohan immediately asked her out. She said yes and they've been going out ever since. When they first met, she suspected he was the Gold Fighter so she was initially cold and nosy and always in his business. But after spending time with him, she decided not to arrest him for vigilantism since he actually saved more people and solved more crimes than the police force. She then started warming up to him, even developing a huge crush on him.
Gohan sat down next to her and talked with her until class started. When it started, Gohan was glad. Ever since Buu was defeated, everything was going right with him. Hercule apologized to him for taking his credit for defeating Cell. Videl was nice to him. Hell, she was his girlfriend. Sharpner and Erasa knew his identity but didn't tell anyone. He was about to graduate valedictorian of his class. It seemed like everything was going good.
Unfortunately, sometimes fate decides to throw you curve-balls just to piss him off.
While Gohan was listening to the lesson, he felt a power approaching his class. A very big power. The power was getting closer and closer. Looking to where it was coming from, Gohan couldn't tell if anyone was there. A half-second later, he saw a golden speck on the horizon. 'Is that a Super Saiyan?' He saw the speck getting closer and closer and 20 seconds after he sensed it, a body crashed through the window, landing next to the teacher.
Seeing the body, Gohan's heart almost stopped. On the ground, his clothes torn, his arm broken, his lip and arm bleeding, his eyes closed, and his hair turning back to black, was his younger brother Goten. Everyone else in the class was shocked. A kid just flew through their window, looking like he was jumped, but Videl and Gohan's reactions were different. He and Videl both yelled out "Goten!" and rushed to his side.
When Gohan got there, he was in tears. He said "Goten! Goten, wake up! What happened?"
Goten opened his eyes barely and said weakly "2 guys attacked the house. They were really really strong. I told mom to get on Nimbus and go to Trunks' house. I tried to fight them myself, but they were too strong."
That got Gohan puzzled. There weren't many people that could defeat Goten. The only people who popped into his mind were Cell, Buu, Dabura, and Bojack. All of them were dead, and anyone else is their friends. Worrying about it later, Gohan pulled the bag of Senzu Beans off his hip and gave one to Goten. When Goten swallowed it, he was immediately healed. His marks disappeared, and he stood up. He said "Gohan, we have to get ready. Those guys are on their way here."
Gohan said "Do you know who they were Goten?"
Goten was about to answer, but then he got scared of something behind Gohan. Gohan was about to turn around, but then he heard a voice that made his blood go cold. "Why don't you just turn around and see, monkey?"
Turning around, Gohan saw Frieza standing right there. But that wasn't the biggest concern. The person standing next to Frieza had everyone in the class screaming in terror. Standing next to Frieza was the genocidal tyrant named Cell. They both were standing there, looking healthy as ever. Cell smirked and said "So what's up Gohan? Aren't you happy to see the two of us?"
Gohan snarled and said "Why the hell did you beat up my brother? And more than that, how the hell are you two here? I saw Trunks kill Frieza, and I handled you personally Cell."
That got gasps from the crowd watching the five some (remember Videl). Gohan said he defeated Cell? What the hell was he thinking? The person who defeated Cell was Hercule? Right?
Cell said "You won't ever know. We're both here to personally watch as you and your family are sent to the Otherworld."
Gohan got angry and started powering up. Goten took that as his queue to do the same. Gohan said "I don't know how you got out, but this time I'm making sure that you go back to hell and stay there."
Cell chuckled. "You couldn't even defeat me in a one-on-one. Remember, Vegeta had to save your ass? What makes you possibly think you can defeat the both of us? We've at least doubled our power from before."
Gohan said "You'll see Cell. Videl, make sure that everyone here isn't hurt. Hopefully, the guys will come to investigate my increase in power. Goten, transform and take Frieza. Let's make them wish that they never left Hell."
With a small nod from Videl, Gohan and Goten powered up. Goten transformed into a Super Saiyan, while Gohan just increased his power output to 50 percent. They took off for their opponents.
Goten opened up with a punch across Frieza's face, sending him 20 feet in the opposite direction. With a flare of his aura, Goten was behind Frieza, kicking him in his back and knocking him farther into the sky. With another flash, he appeared above Frieza and knocked him down. To speed up Frieza's descent, Goten fired an energy beam right into Frieza's chest, pushing him all the way to the ground. Goten then seemingly disappeared, reappearing by the crater Frieza made when he landed. The look in Goten's eyes was murderous.
Goten had not only inherited his looks from his father. From when he was a kid, Goku always had a primal instinct to protect his family. When someone threatened his family, a primal rage would wake up in Goku that made his Saiyan instincts completely take over in a battle. Goten inherited this exact same thing, as did Gohan. Also, even though he could transform for so long, being in Super Saiyan still caused him to act more aggressively. When the never-cursing Goku transformed into Super Saiyan, he cursed so much that he could make a sailor blush. Goten also had that exact same problem.
So when Frieza and Cell both attacked the Son household, this rage transformed Goten from an oblivious optimistic kid, to the cold-hearted Saiyan warrior he was meant to be. He said "Get up, Frieza! I know that attack didn't hurt you in any way. Get up and fight me, you coward!"
Frieza stood up from his crater, levitating himself to Goten's height. Just like Goten said, he wasn't injured in the slightest. He said "So, the son of a monkey thinks he's strong enough to face me."
Goten replied "I know I'm strong enough to kill you, you gender-crossing lizard. Stop bullshitting me and fight."
Frieza said "I'll make you pay for that insult, monkey."
Frieza rushed Goten, landing a punch in his gut. Goten easily shrugged it off and kicked Frieza in the face, then in the chest. Goten started giving chase to Frieza, who just did a backflip, nailing Goten in the chin with his tail. Goten went flying in the air from the hit, and was hit from behind by Frieza, barely stopping himself from smashing into the school.
Turning around, Goten saw Frieza rushing towards him. Goten blocked Frieza's barrage of punches and kicks, eventually throwing his own while blocking. While blocking, Goten smirked. 'When they fought me at home, it was two-on-one. Now that they're separated, I have a better chance of winning. Frieza's strength and speed is nowhere near mine. I got this thing wrapped up.'
Goten caught Frieza's next two punches, then kicked Frieza in the stomach. Goten raised himself a little, and landed a double-handed axe smash on Frieza's head, knocking him down again. When they landed this time, Goten looked to the building to see that all the high school students and teachers were either watching his battle, or Gohan's.
Goten blocked Frieza's punch, then sent a ki-charged fist into Frieza's face. The punch knocked out a few teeth and Frieza started coughing up purple blood. Frieza narrowed his eyes and said "You drew blood! You bastard monkey, how dare you make me spill my own blood?! I'll make you pay for that!"
Frieza pointed a finger at Goten's heart, and yelled out "Death Beam!" Out of Frieza's finger flew a small inch wide beam of energy. Sensing the energy in the beam, Goten sensed that he beam had the same amount as a regular Kamehameha. Goten was about to let the blast hit him, thinking it wouldn't hurt him. But an old lesson from his mom came back to him.
When a force is spread out over a distance like two feet, it causes a certain amount of pressure. When all that force is compacted into an inch-wide area, the pressure is much more. Quickly doing the math in his head, Goten realized:
Kamehameha + energy spread over 2 feet area + aimed for the heart = medium damage.
Kamehameha + energy spread over 1 inch area + aimed for the heart = instant death.
Almost half a second too late, Goten dived to his left, barely avoiding the killing move. Goten countered with his own ki blast right at Frieza's eye, causing him to close it in pain. Goten then rushed forward, blocking Frieza's punch and hitting him in the eye again, causing more pain.
Before Goten could do anything more, he was grabbed around his throat by Frieza's tail. Being choked by Frieza's tail, Goten couldn't do anything. His air supply was running out fast, so Goten did the only thing he could think of.
He bit Frieza's tail, at the exact same place his dad did over a decade ago.
Frieza screamed in pain, immediately releasing Goten. Goten charged up a ki beam and blasted Frieza in his chest, pushing him back into Gohan's school. When Frieza smashed against it, the kids at the window all jumped back. Goten then punched Frieza in his chest three times, and hit him over the head, knocking him down.
Frieza landed, and quickly got back up. Seeing Goten charging him again, Frieza shot off another Death Beam. Goten veered to the right, avoiding the blast, but kept flying as he had to avoid more and more. When Frieza stopped blasting him, Goten blasted Frieza back, but Frieza easily dodged it.
Goten charged towards Frieza with his fist pulled back. Frieza's right hand glowed pink, then Frieza raised his hand, yelling "Death Wave!"
The wave of energy popped up right in Goten's way, blasting him back. Goten was able to stop himself in midair before he crashed into the school. Frieza started smirking, saying "So, you're trying to protect this school, huh? Well then, say goodbye to it!"
Frieza's hand started glowing purple. Frieza yelled "Death Cannon!" and shot his purple beam of energy at the school and Goten. Goten started charging his attack. "Kaaa, Meee, Haaa, Meee, HA!!!!!!"
His blue beam of energy hit Frieza's beam, both of them struggling against each other. The kids in the class were ignorantly watching the battle, not realizing that Goten losing would mean their deaths. Through sheer power and energy, Goten was able to turn the Death Cannon on Frieza. When the beam ended, Frieza started reflexively moving his tail in anger. When he didn't feel anything move, he looked behind him to see that his tail was missing.
Frieza turned to Goten, and yelled "What the hell did you do to my tail?!"
Goten said "When I turned your attack on you, it must've gotten destroyed. Now I just gotta get rid of the rest of you."
Goten charged his body up to its' maximum power output, getting ready to destroy the changeling. Frieza said "You might be able to best me in this form, boy, but you can't possibly stand up to me when I reach my 100 percent form!"
Frieza started charging up his energy, getting stronger and stronger. Goten felt the energy, but before he could do anything, he heard his brothers voice say "What the hell are you doing Goten? Finish him now! Don't give him time to power up!"
Goten said "Okay Gohan." and rushed Frieza. Before Frieza could even reach 60 percent, he was tackled by a midget Super Saiyan. Goten plowed into Frieza and flew him to the ground. Then Goten started laying punch after punch in Frieza's gut. The fact that Goten could easily break the sound barrier when he was in Super Saiyan meant that he could land more than 10 punches in one second. After 5 seconds of punching Frieza, Goten grabbed Frieza by the leg, and threw him in the air. Before Frieza could recover, Goten started charging up energy for a Super Kamehameha. Before Frieza could land on the ground or recover in the air, he was blasted by the Super Kamehameha, ending his life.

Gohan got angry and started powering up. Goten took that as his queue to do the same. Gohan said "I don't know how you got out, but this time I'm making sure that you go back to hell and stay there."
Cell chuckled. "You couldn't even defeat me in a one-on-one. Remember, Vegeta had to save your ass? What makes you possibly think you can defeat the both of us? We've at least doubled our power from before."
Gohan said "You'll see Cell. Videl, make sure that everyone here isn't hurt. Hopefully, the guys will come to investigate my increase in power. Goten, transform and take Frieza. Let's make them wish that they never left Hell."
With a small nod from Videl, Gohan and Goten powered up. Goten transformed into a Super Saiyan, while Gohan just increased his power output to 50 percent. They took off for their opponents.
Gohan felt Cell's power while he was powering himself up. It seemed that Cell was right in saying his power had doubled. 'Not a problem at all.' Sending an out-of-character smirk at Cell, Gohan disappeared into thin air. He was moving so fast that not even Cell could see him. Before Cell could try to look for Gohan more, Gohan appeared in Cell's face, and then Cell felt a colossal amount of pain from his chest.
Looking down, Cell saw that Gohan's fist was embedded in it. Suddenly, he felt one of Gohan's monster punches to his face. The punch was so strong that Cell felt a few of his teeth fall out. Before new teeth grew back, he felt a punch to his stomach again. The hit was so strong that Cell was forced to his knees. Gohan smirked and said "Look at this people. Cell, the genocidal maniac, bowing at my feet."
The kids were stunned. The school nerd was fighting Cell, and he just made Cell fall to his knees. What the hell was this? One of the kids said "How did you just do that?"
Gohan shrugged "I've had good teachers."
Gohan's smirk turned to a scowl and he kicked Cell in the face, knocking him out of the window Goten crashed through. Before Cell could get away, Gohan caught him. In a low voice, he said "How dare you, Cell?"
Cell was only able to gargle out a "What" before Gohan punched him in his chest again, knocking him backwards. Gohan started rushing Cell. Cell saw Gohan and tried to kick him, but Gohan dodged the attack. He and Cell then got into a supersonic battle. If the kids from Gohan's school could see it, they would see that Cell wasn't landing a single hit on Gohan. Gohan was dodging each and every one of them like they were moving at a snails' pace.
Gohan caught Cell's punch, and then squeezed his hand so hard the bones started breaking. "How dare you come into my house and ATTACK MY FAMILY?!!!!"
Gohan moved his hand from Cell's hand to Cell's throat, choking the life out of him. Gohan held his other hand out, creating a blade of energy on it. With those same murderous eyes, Gohan cut of Cell's right arm. Cell's screams echoed through the walls of Orange Star High School. Gohan waited, and sure enough, Cell's arm grew back. Gohan started yelling again "My family didn't do shit to you Cell. What gave you the right to try to destroy our world, huh? What gave you the right to attack my home?!"
Gohan then cut off Cell's legs and kicked Cell's upper body to the ground. When Cell landed, his legs grew back. Before he could blink again, Gohan appeared beside him. Gohan said "When we first fought Cell, I said I would make you pay for every life you took. But we were interrupted by you trying to explode. This time, that won't happen. We won't be interrupted, and YOU…WILL…PAY!!!! I think it's time that you realize how outclassed you truly are, Cell."
Gohan spread out his legs, put his arms at his hips, and started raising his power. Tapping into power that he hadn't used since his battle with Majin Buu, Gohan's power output was going higher than anything ever felt before.
________________________________________________________________________
On the Planet of the Kais, Elder Kai and Kibito Kai were meditating. Since Elder Kai was released from the Z Sword, he had started training Kibito Kai in lessons of becoming a Kai. When Buu attacked the Kais, Supreme Kai was still in training. Since it was never completed, Elder Kai volunteered to become Kibito Kai's sensei.
They were starting off today with a regular meditation. Their meditation however, was interrupted. They both knew how to sense power levels, learning it from Goku. But the power level they were sensing right now was so big they didn't have to strain to feel it. They also recognized the power as that of Gohan.
Using Kibito Kai's viewing orb, they saw that Gohan was powering up. 'Probably going to Super Saiyan.' Was the thought from Kibito Kai. What confused Kibito Kai though, was this: Earth was on the other side of the universe. A power level from Earth being able to be sensed all the way on the Planet of the Kais was only heard of in Goku, Majin Buu, and Buu's transformations. And for Goku to make that list, he had to go to Super Saiyan Three. Gohan was in regular mode, reaching that same power level. Kibito Kai mused out loud "Just how strong is Gohan?"
Elder Kai responded with "Without Super Saiyan, Goku can match Gohan, probably even best him. But if Gohan uses Super Saiyan, fighting Majin Buu would become a warm-up for him."
________________________________________________________________________
Gohan continued powering up, determined to make Cell pay for everything he'd done. With a yell, Gohan maxed out his power in normal mode. 'Going Super Saiyan would be complete overkill.'
Cell felt Gohan's energy, and his fact turned whiter than chalk. He thought to himself 'What the hell do I do? I can't stop him myself. He dominated me before he increased his power. What can I possibly do?'
Gohan said "Now, it's time that you paid for what you've done, Cell."
Gohan disappeared and gave Cell 5 punches to the chest at lightning-quick speed. He kicked Cell in his chin, knocking him skyward. He stopped Cell with a punch to the chest, and then knocked him towards the school. Before he crashed into it, Gohan appeared in front of him with a Kamehameha charged up. Gohan then shot the blast, taking out the left half of Cell's body.
The kids in the class were stunned by what was happening. Gohan, the school nerd, was going up against Cell, and winning. Cell, the man who decimated the entire worlds' military without lifting a finger. The man who blew up at least 2 islands with one hand. The man who completely eradicated the population of Ginger Town 7 years ago. The worst threat to ever happen to their world. And the school nerd was going toe to toe with him. What's even freakier, he wasn't even trying.
One of the kids looked to Videl and saw her with a non-impressed look on her face. One of the kids said "Videl, doesn't this surprise you?"
Videl turned to where the voice came from and saw a kid named Jason. She said "No, not at all."
A girl voiced her mind, saying "Your boyfriend is fighting Cell and winning? How can you not be surprised?"
Videl said "Unlike you guys, I didn't immediately label Gohan as a nerd because he's smart. When I first saw Gohan really fight someone, I realized he was a lot stronger than he ever let on. I've known for months that Gohan could defeat Cell. Compared to Gohan, Cell is a small fry. Look at him out there. Gohan isn't even trying. He's just toying with him."
When the left half of Cell's body regenerated, Gohan punched him in the chest again. Gohan said "From what I figure Cell, you've killed over a million people. It's time for you to feel their pain!"
Gohan disappeared, and then Cell felt something. Unending agony. He could only stand there and do nothing as Gohan laid punch after punch to his body. He couldn't even scream since the pain was too much for him to do anything. Since he could regenerate, he wouldn't die from an attack like this. But he would feel the pain as his body regenerated. After an eternity for him, Gohan stopped. He then kicked Cell skyward, out of the way of anything. He placed his hands over his head, and started charging up a huge amount of energy in his hands. He put his hands above his hands pointing at Cell. When it was time for the blast to fire, Gohan yelled out "This is the second time I'll kill you Cell! And this time, stay dead!! Final Masen-KO!"
From his hands, an orange wave of energy flowed and went skyward towards Cell. When they met with Cell, Cell's screams were heard for a mile around as every cell of his being was completely eradicated. The flash from Gohan's Final Masenko was seen all around the city, confusing people who didn't know what it was.
When Gohan finished his attack, he looked downward to see his brother standing there watching Frieza. Feeling Frieza's power level, Gohan realized that if Frieza went full power, he could cause damage to the kids of Orange Star. Gohan yelled "What the hell are you doing, Goten? Finish him now! Don't give him time to power up!"
When Goten looked at him, Gohan saw the hate and arrogance in them. But the hate and arrogance were quickly replaced by the oblivious optimistic cheerfulness that his brother always had. Goten said "Ok Gohan!"
Gohan thought 'Just like dad when he was fighting Frieza.'
Gohan watched as his brother quickly finished of Frieza. When Goten floated up to him, Goten said "What do we do now, brother?"
Hearing a voice behind him, he said "What the hell happened here, brats? Why was your harpy of a mother at my home going off about Frieza and Cell attacking her home?"
Turning around, they saw the crowned King of Saiyans himself, Vegeta. When Vegeta was dead, he went to Hell and met with his father. When Vegeta was about to be brought to life, Vegeta's dad passed on the title of king to Vegeta. So ever since, Vegeta had been calling himself the King and Trunks the Prince. Goten said "They did attack our home. I fought them both but they were too strong together. I came here to get Gohan to help."
Vegeta said "By the fact that you're both alive, I'm guessing you sent their asses packing."
Goten said "Yeah. We kicked their butts."
Vegeta said "Good then. I heard from the Namekian that he sent the others to Capsule Corp. so that we can talk there. Let's go."
Vegeta then went Super Saiyan and took off towards Capsule Corp. with Goten following. Gohan turned back to the school and flew in to Videl. He was about to tell her, but she said "I know. Be safe."
Gohan gave her the traditional Son Grin and took off, catching up to Vegeta and Goten.
