Disclaimer: I don't Dragon Ball Z

Summary: A lot of ki users have had enough of Hercule Satan telling the world that what they can do are just merely tricks. As their revenge, they made a wish by the use of the dragonballs for the revelation behind the cell games. True o the dragon's power, the wish came true and the world ended for Son Gohan (figuratively) and Hercule Satan (literally).

A.N. I know that it's been done before but I just want to make my own version on how the world found out the truth behind the cell games.

Prologue: The Wish That Changed the World

For the past seven years, the whole world revered and dare I say it, worshipped the very ground this "hero" graciously walked upon. If he said jump, people will ask how high rather than question why. If he said there is Santa Claus, even those non-believers would suddenly change their mind and believe rather than question the validity of said claim jut because he said so. And if he declared that today will be the national worshipping day of said hero then everyone would just accept the declaration. No one would question the said declaration. That is how such 'powerful' said hero is for his every wish and desire will always be granted; no one dared question.

Who are we talking about again? Oh yeah, I almost forgot…Well then, worry no more for I will introduce to you the one and only, the champion himself, the strongest man alive and the winner of the Cell games, please welcome our "hero" Hercule Satan…

Or so the whole world thought…. (The gullible ones that is, which sadly to say consists of more than ninety five percent of earth's population)

In a dojo that looks like it was abandoned and haunted from the outside but in reality is not, could be found in the outskirts of Satan City or previously known as Orange Star City. A group of men mostly in their forties and wearing some kind of a gi were seated and watching some kind of a talk show until one of them stood up, red in the face and looking like he is having an apoplexy. Suddenly, the small television set was turned into pieces of burned plastic and broken glass. How is this possible? Simple really, for a ki user that knows how to use a ki ball attack. Unfortunately for him though, the others were not on the same page as him.

"Hey, I was watching that!"

"What's your problem, man? I was waiting for the baseball game after the talk show!"

"Yeah…"

"Are you stupid?! That's our only television and you decided to blow it up just because that weirdo afro Satan was shown? Do you have any idea how much does one cost?"

Maybe it's the noise of everyone complaining at the same time or the glares which were being pointed at him or the stifling atmosphere but nonetheless the one who destroyed the TV decided to retort back, "Do I look like I care? And besides who would want to watch that phony Satan?"

True, the show that they were watching was a talk show with Hercule Satan as its special guest. If that's not bad enough for them, Hercule decided to show that he is God's greatest gift to mankind and how those light shows were just plain old tricks, hence the other fighters from the Cell games and the other people who call themselves martial artists that used those 'tricks' were being called fakes.

"Yes, we all just heard that clown earlier but the question still stands: why do you need to destroy the TV?"

"Brother, he's right. If you are that angry, why not blast Satan to HFIL and better yet let the world watch to show that it's not merely tricks?"

"I like your idea and I would very much consider doing what you suggested but if I do that, Satan would just tell everyone we tricked him and planted those so called 'bombs' around him earlier if that's even possible. Well no worries, I have something very special in store for our favorite hero (insert sarcasm) tomorrow-." He said but was rudely interrupted by the others, "-And that is?"

The eager expression on everyone's face made the man who blasted the TV smirk since it's not every day that he could catch everyone's attention to him.

"As we all know, Satan did not defeat Cell. In fact, it must be one of those guys with the golden hair. The thing that bothers me the most is why can't the people see that? Are they stupid or what? Were they even using their heads? Didn't they see Satan being tossed like a ragdoll by Cell? Did they not see-," Again he was interrupted by someone clearing their throat and another exclaiming: "get on with it."

At first he was annoyed for being interrupted not one but twice! But then he realized that he started ranting without him noticing it which is weird because it has never happened to him before. He can always stop himself when the urge to rant occurs. Enough of that though, what was he saying earlier again? Oh, right the plan to finish off Satan's lie.

"As I was saying, what we want is to show the whole world that Satan is in fact a fraud. Neither did he defeat Cell nor his claims that using ki is merely a light show. In fact, ki usage is but a forgotten martial arts technique of the masters. And by doing that, we would be able to hit him where it hurts the most-" And for the third time, he was again interrupted though not by the others but by his brother, "But brother, the people may be stupid but they are not that stupid to believe a complete nobody blurting things like this. You need a proof!"

As if on cue, everybody's faces showed that he is somewhat insane for planning something so impossible that in the end, he would be the one being laughed at and not the other way around. Someone even have the nerve to say this to him: "That's true, you really need a proof. Maybe what you are planning is too grand. Forget about it, you would only bring more shame to our dojo."

If the others won't stop interrupting him every second he said something, then his plans would have been revealed. Not only that, their skeptical faces would have instead shown admiration for his efforts! He wouldn't be doubted like this! No matter, before the night ends, his friends- who so obviously doubted him- would only be singing him praises for the next days to come.

"Stop interrupting me! How will I able to tell you my plan if you all keep interrupting me with your side comments? So please for the love of kami, everyone shut your mouths for the next ten minutes!"

Desired silence finally greeted him. Feeling giddy as for the first time, all the others finally followed him or was it because they really have nothing to do and listening to him would alleviate their boredom since their pastime was ruined because of him (–cough-TV was destroyed by him-cough-)? Nevertheless, he took the chance to finally tell them his grand plan.

"Do you remember what sensei said about the mythical balls that when collected could grant you a wish?"

"Uhh-you're not talking about the dragon balls right?" his brother asked

Despite his previous outburst earlier about interruptions, the others seem to have forgotten once they've heard dragon balls.

"Have you gone mad?! Dragon balls as what sensei said are mythical meaning THEY DON'T EXISTS!"

"Maybe you need to rest for a while if you're suddenly thinking that dragon balls are real."

"You got me, Ha Ha Ha. I really thought you can never joke your way but then you've proven me wrong. Nice one, bro"

With a sigh, the one who was interrupted once again went to the corner, get it his satchel and went out of the abandoned warehouse without saying a word to the others. He expected-no- knew the others will follow him outside due to curiosity; and since the others are too closed-minded to believe the existence of dragon balls through word of mouth, then what better way to show its existence by summoning the dragon who'll grant him his wish?

"Hey wait, where are you going?

"What's with him?"

"Maybe he got angry?"

"Did he just walked out on us?"

"Do we follow him?"

"Nah. Whatever he's doing is his business not ours and he'll return later on."

"But what if he's going something dangerous like attacking Satan on broad daylight with ki? Won't our dojo get the brunt of his action?"

"So do we follow him?"

"Fine! But know this, we are only following him to make sure he won't be doing something stupid and besides, since he oh so graciously destroyed the TV, we really have nothing to do."

"We're in."

"Let's go now! What if he already did something?"

"Okay, okay we're going already. Stop being such a worry wart."

True to the prediction of the one who walked out, the others followed him but not because they're curious on what he is going to do but simply because the others have really nothing to do.

Ten minutes of walking around the forest that surrounds the warehouse, the group suddenly halted their search of their estranged member when they saw a dragon appearing twenty feet to their east out of thin air as if by magic!
Then they heard the dragon talk if that is even possible. Someone even pinched himself as if to make sure that he is simply not dreaming.

"What is your wish?"

The group was not able to hear the wish for they are too far away from the source but they were able to hear the dragon's answer of, "So be it" and see its sudden disappearance along with lights streaking towards different directions.

Silence fell upon the group for a minute or so, all thinking if what they have witnessed really happened and if so, who made the wish and what could the wish be? All thoughts regarding their missing estranged member were wiped out of their minds.

"Did that really happened?"

"'I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"Wait, is it me or was I just imagining the footsteps?"

True to what he said, the others heard someone walking towards them and to their astonishment; it was their missing member who walked out on them earlier and to his surprised he was suddenly bombarded with questions about the dragon's appearance.

"Hey, did you just see the dragon earlier?"

"Did you see the person who wished?"

"Did you hear what the wish was?"

"Where have you been? We were looking all over for you?"

"Come on, respond to us! I'm dying to know what happened! Have mercy on us"

A gesture of stop made the others ended their rapid questioning and silence descended upon them again.

"I will answer all your questions after I finished explaining my plan earlier you know, the one regarding the dragon balls which you all so kindly interrupted. If anyone interrupted me again, I'll leave you all hanging here. Will that be fine with you all?"

A series of nods was the only response he got, all eager to hear what he'll be telling them.

"The dragon balls are true which everyone could attest to that since everyone here witnessed the dragon appearing and asking for a wish. Obviously it was I who made the wish since I was the one who found the seven dragon balls. What I wished? It's a surprise. Just know that tomorrow's special coverage of the 7th year anniversary celebration of the cell games would be worth watching for. Don't you all worry; it's really worth the wait. It's the thing that we all desired for a long, long time. I promise."

A few grumblings here and there yet not one word left his sealed lips. Pity, but the others saw it was a lost cause when he not even relented when someone knelt and begged him.

Well there's nothing they can really do but wait for tomorrow's special coverage. At least they'll have something to look forward to. A few minutes later, the group decided to go on their separate ways since they don't have anything left to do and the sole reason they are here was to gather just like old times and watch TV which unfortunately was 'murdered' by one of their comrade since most of them were broke, and while at it, think of the possible ways on how to humiliate, insult and prove that Satan as a joke.

A little while, only the two brothers were left.

"What did you wish about big brother? I mean can't you tell your little brother this?"

"I suppose I can tell you but not a word to anyone. Swear on it."

"Yes big brother, I swear upon our mother's grave to never breathe of this to any living soul aside from you of course."

"Very well, the first wish was-." and he was again interrupted by his brother who said, "You can wish more than one? Sensei said that only one wish is possible."

"That's what I thought too, but the dragon asked me for another wish after I made the first. So do you still want to know the surprise for tomorrow?"

"Of course, big brother."

"Then for kami's sake, stop interrupting me!"

"O-okay big brother. I'll keep my mouth in check. I promise."

"Very well, the first wish is for the world to witness from a legitimate source what really happened in the cell game with advance audio visual system meaning you can hear every whisper and see everything in slow motion for the fast moving actions tomorrow around the time when they'll show Hercule Satan's defeat of Cell special coverage. The second is for the people who knew of the truth (-cough-specifically Hercule Satan-cough-) to not be made aware of the happenings in the special coverage until every single person in the world knows about this."

"Umm…why those wishes? It seems complicated when you hear about it. Why didn't you just wish the world's 'enlightenment' in regards of the truth behind the cell games? "

"Well, what I really want is for us to at least enjoy the show of Satan's downfall. After all, we are just paying him back for all the public humiliations he did and what better to do that is to turn the public's wrath on him. Why the last wish? I want Satan to not be able to cancel the show. After this, the whole world will know that he is nothing but a liar. Before the week ends, he'll be as penniless and hated by everyone that he would rather not show his face in public less he faces public humiliation."

"I didn't think of that big brother. I guess you're right. The best revenge we could ever give to him is the destruction of his public image without knowing you lost it until much later."

"Right you are, little brother. And do you know the best part of the plan?"

"Umm…no, sorry?"
"The best part is that there won't be anyone who will think of our techniques as mere cheap light tricks!"

"Does that mean people would then start enrolling in our dojo?"

"Yes and that means more money for us. Heck, we could even buy our very own television set!"

True to the second wish, those who knew and had witnessed the cell games have no idea the changes that would take place in their lives in just a single day especially to our favorite demi-saiyan…
