Prologue Warrior From Far Away

" Urg..." Opening his eyes, the hybrid saiyan found himself in a pink themed room, with bandage all wrapped around him, a cast was put on his broken arm. The eleven years old Son Gohan rubbed his temple as he tried to remember what happened recently.

Flashback

Standing before Gohan is the bio-android Cell " So I see, you're still as stubborn as ever Gohan." electricity sparked and golden aura flared violently around Cell " Well, have it your way then. Let's get this over with." ' I'm not giving up, no way!' Gohan gritted his teeth.

" He needs help! throw him a senzu bean! " The namekian who was also known as Gohan's mentor, Piccolo yelled toward Krillin, one of the Z fighters " But we don't have any left..." the orange gi monk replied. Piccolo widened his eyes in shock, he gritted his teeth in anger for not being able to help his mentee.

" This is bad." Yamcha said " With Trunks and Vegeta down, " The orange gi human continued " That means Gohan have to face Cell alone! "

Cell smirked as he extended his hands forward and cupped them together, Gohan widened his eyes in shock, he's going to use his father signature move! The bio-android brought his hands backward " Gohan... This is it, it ends here!" Cell's power skyrocketed as he ki flared more violently than ever, winds are generated by his immense power.

"First I'll destroy you, then your friends, then this worthless planet! But before I do, I want you to remember something, I will live forever!" Cell announced loudly enough for all the Z fighters to hear, Gohan gritted his teeth to the point that it feels like it could break " I thought Dr. Gero only meant for me to defeat the earth, but I know now I was designed for much more, once I finished tearing this world into pieces, I'll just use Goku's instance transmission technique to move onto other planets!"

Cell smirks once more before he starts grunting " Please! Isn't there any way out of all of this?" Krillin now on his knees with Android 18 on his arm " We've done too much for this world for it to end this way!"

" Muhahahaha!" Cell now begins to laugh " Forget the earth, I can destroy the entire solar system with my energy now!" Smirking once again Cell taunted " What's wrong Gohan, aren't you going to try to stop me now? Hehahaha" " What's the point, I know I lost my only chance against you." Gohan looked down in shame while holding his broken arm " Now all of us will die together and be with my dad."

" Heh! How bored, I expected the end to be a little bit more dramatic! But if it's all I get then there's no use in dragging it out!" Cell yelled as blue energy begins to gather at Cell's hands ' So this is it, this is how it all ends.' Gohan thought to himself.

" You've got to be joking, giving up already? Well, that's nothing like the Gohan I know." Eyes widened in shock of this voice, Gohan tried to find his father " Da-dad, where are you?" " The otherworld! And thanks to King Kai, I can communicate with you telepathically." The orange gi saiyan continued " I know you have the power to beat him Gohan, I've sensed it all along, now give him the biggest kamekameha you've got. I know you can do this Gohan, I promise."

" No dad, I can't even use one of my arms anymore, and my energies been cut in half." upon seeing Gohan's weird behavior, Krillin asked " Who is he talking to?" "Look! he's been driven insane by his own fear!" Cell commented.

" Remember what you've learned in our training, and trust yourself, it may feel like Cell had weakened you, but really whats straining your strength is your own doubt, just don't listen to it okay?" Goku continued his encouragement " Okay, it's all starting to become clear now dad." Gohan composed himself as he clenched his hand " I've got one arm left, but that's all I need!" Gohan declared.

" And don't even think about feeling sorry for me because King Kai and I couldn't be having any more fun up here if we tried!" Goku added " Speak for yourself home-wrecker!" The blue North Kai retorted. Gohan look down in regrets " But dad, it-it's my fault you died, cause I got carried away, if I had only finished off Cell sooner, I may have-" " Hey" Goku cut off his son sentence " Who knows what would've happened, for all we know what you did was the best move! Sometimes life's just too uncertain to have regrets."

" Yea but-" Once again Goku cut him off " If you want to blame anyone for this, blame Cell, make him pay for what he has done." Gohan turned his head toward Cell, now facing him with determination " I will!" wind starts to whirl around Gohan as a bright golden aura flared around him once again, and electricity sparked around his body, Gohan powered up in his super saiyan two form, releasing as much energy as Cell is.

" Huh?" Cell muttered upon seeing the change in Gohan's attitude " Gohan..." Piccolo can only watch in awe " He's finally ready to face him..." Krillin commented, Gohan thrust his hand outward before bringing it back.

" Ka..." Gohan looks at Cell with nothing but determination, there's no more doubts nor regrets in him.

" Me..." Blue energy begins to gather around Gohan's palm.

" Ka..." Cell smirked " That's more like it." He commented.

" Me..." The aura of both competitors merged into one giant golden dome of energy, creating waves of winds that blow everything out of its way.

" Muhahahaha... Now, you die!" Cell declared out loud as he thrust his hands forward releasing the energy he's been charging.

" HAAAAAAAAA!" Gohan throws his arm out with all his might, shooting a blue beam of energy same as Cell's.

" That's way too big! Let's go!" seeing the two beams approaching each other Krillin and the Z fighters retreated to higher grounds " Gohan..." Piccolo can only pray for Gohan's victory before retreating as well.

The two beams made contact and exploded into a massive dome of blue energy, with each side trying to overcome each other, Cell laughed and Gohan grunted, both of the competitors trying to win over the beam struggle.

The dome multiplied its size covering the places where the Z fighters used to be. Cell continued laughing and Gohan gritted his teeth even more " They're gonna change the shape of the whole planet! " Upon witnessing the dome, Krillin commented.

" Gohan! Hang in there!" Goku yelled to his son encouraging him " This must be hard for you with all those wounds, I'm sure this makes them hurt! " Cell yelled as he begins to take the higher grounds " Gohan's losing it, he's being overtaken!" Piccolo damned himself again for not being able to help.

"Heh! Hahaha! And now this is where you end!" Cell declared as he released more energy, the beam is only a few meters away from Gohan now.

" What's the matter Gohan, you already have all the power you need, just bring it out!" Goku yelled in an attempt to help his son " I can't... I can't keep this up! I just can't hack it dad, it's too much for me to handle! I'm just a kid, I haven't changed not at all!" Gohan yelled out in frustration, he's self-doubt is returning, and it's bad.

" Will you stop attacking yourself, I don't know where you got it in your head that there is something wrong with you, cause there is not! You saved my life and our friend's life so many times! And you're going to do that again right now!" Goku yelled.

" What on earth are you mumbling about? Chanting a little prayer before you die?" Cell laughed as he maintained his advantage.

" Let it out Gohan, do it now!" With his father's order, Gohan released more of his energy, balancing the beam struggle then it even beginning to overcome Cell's energy.

Both of the competitors grunted " You fool, don't you realize yet you're up against the perfect weapon?" With that, Cell's added more energy into his beam turning the table back to his favor.

" No way!" Goku yelled " Too strong!" Gohan commented as he's getting pushed back by the force of the beam " Now what, I've already told him to give it all he's got!" Goku now struggles to find a solution, but then his eyes widened in realization " Wait, what if he's still- Gohan if anywhere in your mind you're holding back because you're worried about the planet, forget about it!" Gohan widened his eyes in shock " All the damage you do to the earth can be fixed with the dragon ball, so don't hold anything back got it?"

" Yea but I..." Gohan struggled to overcome Cell's beam, Cell laughed " Yes! I can feel you slipping!" Cell yelled. Seeing how things were going, Piccolo can only resort to the last option they had, he begins to fly upward " Piccolo where are you going?" Krillin asked, but he didn't answer as he blasted toward the Lookout at full speed ' Gohan hang in there.' he thought.

' Sorry, Goku but looks like we need to resort to this, after all, I can't let Gohan dies even if it means our death. ' Piccolo thought as he flew through the sky at hypersonic speed.

Upon arriving the Lookout, he was greeted by the little namekian Dende and the gardener Mr. Popo, he immediately asked Dende to prepare the dragon balls that were recreated by Dende upon Goku's request before the battle.

Gathering the seven magical orange dragon ball, Dende summoned the dragon god " Eternal Dragon. By Your name, I summon you forth, Shenron!" The sky turned black as a green dragon as seen immerged from the seven dragon balls.

" I'm the eternal dragon Shenron, make your wish and I shall grant them all." Piccolo wasted no time as he spoke out his wish for the dragon to hear, Dende took a few steps back in shock " Ar-are you sure about that?" he asked " No doubt." Piccolo replied " Your wish shall be granted." Shenron announced as his red eyes glowed, after that Piccolo flew back to where Gohan is located as fast as he could.

While back at the beam struggle, Gohan is still struggling to push Cell's beam back " Take deeper Gohan, this is not enough!" Goku yelled " This are your last minutes boy, so try to make them count!" Cell laughed as he added more power into his beam, but what they failed to notice is the yellow energy that beginning to surround Gohan and the portal forming above him.

" Focus your energy son!" Goku yelled " I can't dad, I'm too worn out, I can't..." Gohan said as he feels his arm and legs going numb, Cell's beam is closing into Gohan, few more second and it will swallow him completely.

Everyone seems to be in despair when the yellow energy pulled him out just in time as the beam blasted off to space " What!?" Cell yelled in disbelief, that's when Piccolo returned " Piccolo! Where did you go? And what did you do?" Krillin asked in shock

" Phew~ Well, I and Piccolo had already planned this, if things were to turn out really bad..." Goku explained telepathically " I would use the dragon ball and sent Gohan away to somewhere safe." Piccolo continued the explanation " So I went to Kami's Lookout and made the wish."

Piccolo now turned toward Gohan who's being held up in the air by the yellow energy " Gohan... since small you had been forced to train, fight battles that decide the fate of the world, even though you doesn't like fighting, but you're still young, it's not too late to be reborn as a normal kid, with this, I hope you're free from the weight on your shoulders, no more fate deciding battles, may you have a new life, and goodbye... my friend!"

Following Piccolo, everyone said their farewell as Gohan floated toward the portal that had been formed, with tears in his eyes he made damn sure to remember all their faces before leaving.

" As if I would let that happened! " Cell yelled as he launched himself toward Gohan in an attempt to kill him but was stopped by Vegeta's Final Flash " Suck... it..." was what Vegeta said before dropping out of his super saiyan form and fall on his back, with that Gohan had entered the portal, and the last thing he heard before passing out was his father's voice

" Goodbye son, I love you."

" I love you too dad..." Gohan muttered before he fell unconscious.

" Grrrrrr!" Recovered from Vegeta's attack, Cell is beyond fury " You... you ruined the perfect ending!" He yelled as he flew upward charging another Kamehameha " Sorry guys..." Piccolo said " Don't, we all think you've done the right thing, if it weren't for you, Gohan would've been dead too." Krillin replied.

" Now you all die!" Cell yelled as he launched the beam toward the earth " It's been nice knowing you all." Krillin said " Yea me too." the three-eyed Tien Shinhan said as the Z fighters all witness upon the destruction of the earth.

Everything is black, Gohan doesn't know how long had it been, few minutes, few hours or few days, he had lost count, he kept waiting and waiting as everything that happened replayed in his mind, he wanted to cry but he can't. Then he heard a voice.

" Please warrior from far away, please lend me your power." Upon hearing that, Gohan tried to communicate with that mysterious voice " I'm sorry, but may I ask who are you?" " I'm Histoire, I record the history of Gamindustri with the goddesses." The voice replied.

Gamindustri? Goddesses? Gohan wondered what is that all about " Please I don't have much time. Lend me your power..." Histoire speaks again with a sign of despair " What do you mean by lending you my power Histoire-san? " Gohan asked but he found no response " Histoire-san?" The next thing Gohan know is he's now awake.

Flashback ended

Now inside the pink themed room, Gohan wiped the tears gathered at the corner of his eyes " Piccolo, dad, and everyone, I've made it..." Gohan muttered

That's when someone entered the room.
