Wow. Two updates in two days. 0o That's a new record. Anyway, most of you people have been waiting for this story since who knows. So here it is. I hope you enjoy it! And also, just because I think Gohan looks cuter, he's wearing a replica of Goku's gi. Now enjoy!

"What do you mean you give in?! You can't!" Cell roared angrily at Son Goku. "Yes, I can. I'm not strong enough to beat you, Cell." Goku calmly replied. Both warriors floated up in the air, staring each other in the eye.

"Goku, you do realize you're dooming the Earth. There is no one strong enough to beat me." Cell's slick voice echoed through the dusty air. Goku shrugged, before replying back to the android, "I'm sure that this next person can beat you. I'm just not motivated enough to continue."

Cell growled at Goku. He frowned, furious at Goku's mockery of his Cell Games. Then as quickly as the frown appeared, it vanished. In it's place there was a sneer. "Not motivated enough? Well, motivate this!"

Cell brought his hands up to his forehead and yelled, "Solar flare!" Goku's eyes went wide in surprise and then snapped close, when the painful light hit. Everybody shut their eyes and shielded their faces.

Goku opened his eyes, moments later, cautiously; his vision came rushing back to him. 'What did he do?' Goku shot a glance at the Z Fighters. 'Okay. Vegeta and Trunks are there. So are Tien, Yamcha, and Krillin.' A sickening feeling began to establish itself in his stomach. Something was wrong. Now his eyes settled on the small ledge Piccolo and his son stood on.

He only saw Piccolo. Before he could speak, evil laughter rang from above and behind him. He quickly spun around and looked up. Cell was floating with one arm around Gohan's neck and the other supporting it (like when Super Buu held Gotenks).

Gohan struggled to pull Cell's arm off his neck or at least relieve some of the pressure. But Cell was too strong for him. Gohan opened his eyes to a crack and saw his father staring in horror. Gohan closed his eyes again, concentrating on escaping.

"Well, Goku, since you aren't motivated enough to fight me, I have taken something from you." Cell laughed again and squeezed Gohan's neck. "Aaww!" Gohan cried out as Cell increased pressure on his neck. "Gohan! No!" Goku yelled angrily. 'No! I've got to do something.' Frantic thoughts began to race through Goku's mind.

Behind him, he heard Piccolo shouting angrily at Cell. Goku joined in, "Cell! Let him go! Your fight is with me! Not my son!" Cell only laughed harder. "No! You weren't motivated enough to me earlier! So now..." He tightened his grip on Gohan. "I'll make you fight!"

Goku growled, "If you hurt him Cell, I'll kill you! And I will show you no mercy!" This surprised everyone, including Cell and Gohan, who was or had been struggling to free himself. They all stared at him.

Goku had never, ever threatened an enemy so viciously. Cell recovered quickly, despite Goku's threat. "Feisty, aren't we?" Cell laughed, "You have one day to train and prepare. In the meantime, Goku, I'll take you brat with me." Cell suddenly jerked his arms back, causing Gohan's golden hair to fall back to the black locks he was born with and him to go completely limp.

"Cell! Give him back right now!" Goku yelled angrily. His ki was starting to fluctuant dangerously. "No. I said I'd give you one day to prepare. If you don't show, then I will kill him painfully. Don't worry...I'll keep him alive. Or...somewhat alive." Laughing, Cell turned in the air and blasted off towards a new hiding place.

"No! Gohan! Cell! That bastard!" Goku yelled angrily. Piccolo clenched his fists tightly, contemplating what had just happened. Goku beat his fists down on the hard surface, creating little craters under them. 'How dare he?! He...Gohan...I've got to train and make myself strong enough to beat Cell.' Goku shakily stood to his feet and took a deep breath in and let it out. He straightened himself. "Gohan!"

Goku turned to the others, fire and anger dancing in his eyes, "We need to get back to the Lookout. I'm going back to train the Time Chamber. If you want to come, then grab hold."

Piccolo nodded, before placing one green calloused hand on Goku's left shoulder. Yamcha and Tien hurriedly placed a hand on Piccolo. Krillin gulped, 'I just hope Gohan can hold on until then.'

Krillin ran forward to Goku and grabbed onto his gi. Vegeta growled, before grabbing Trunks and snatching Krillin's gi. Krillin gulped nervously. Goku narrowed his eyes and they disappeared.

Meanwhile, Cell finally spotted a place to land. There was a small rocky clearing, surrounded by trees and a tall cliff. "Perfect!" Cell grinned evilly as he glanced down at the unconscious teenager.

"I'm going to have fun with you!" Cell slowed and then lowered himself to the ground. He dropped Gohan roughly onto the ground. "He'll be out for a while." Cell brutally kicked to the side of the clearing by Cell.

Cell paused for a moment, "On second thought, I can't let you escape." Cell confidently scrolled over to the lifeless Gohan. Cell formed on ki ring and wrapped it around Gohan's ankles. Cell formed another one and put it around Gohan's wrists. "I will not take a chance of you escaping."

In the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Goku zipped along, punching and kicking at thin air, training rigorously. 'I will get you back Gohan. If he hurts you at all, he will regret it!'

Outside the Time Chamber, Piccolo and the others stood outside the door. Krillin glanced over at the tall Namek, "Piccolo...do you think Gohan will be okay?" Piccolo glared down at the bald monk and sternly replied, "Yes. If Cell does anything to him, he'll not only have to deal with Goku, he will have to deal with me!"

Krillin nodded once, before sighing, "Still...Why do you think Goku gave up? Who else could beat Cell?" Piccolo thought for a moment, staring into the cloudy sky, before answering Krillin's question, "The only logical explanation for why Goku gave up is that he would have chosen Gohan to fight."

This statement caused the other Z Fighters to look up in shock. Krillin gasped, "Gohan?!" Piccolo nodded, "Yes. He has to be. There's no one else who is almos-Krillin!"

"Yes?" "Every time something makes Gohan angry, his power increases. The only way to transform is to be enraged. What if Gohan went past Super Saiyan and ascended? Vegeta, Trunks, and Goku all failed, but Gohan might have not. It's possible he doesn't remember it, but Goku does." Krillin gaped, "Do really think so?"

Far away, Cell watched as Gohan slowly started to stir. Gohan opened his ebony eyes in confusion, "W-where...am I?" Cell smirked and marched over to the demi-saiyan. Cell kicked Gohan in the back to flip him over.

Gohan let out a surprised yelp and glared up at Cell. Cell grinned, "Finally awake?" Gohan narrowed his eyes in disgust, "What the hell do you want with me?!" Cell snarled and planted his left foot in Gohan's gut. Gohan gagged and coughed to clear his throat, bringing up blood.

"Your father had to be...motivated to fight." Gohan struggled to move, but Cell plunged his foot in Gohan's chest. Gohan yelped slightly, before curling up in a ball against the pain. "What's the matter? Didn't like that?"

Cell mocked Gohan. Gohan was helpless to move as Cell bent down and grabbed Gohan by the hair. Gohan clenched his teeth together as he stared angrily into Cell's violet eyes.

Cell laughed cockily for a few seconds, before thrusting his knee into Gohan's stomach. Gohan coughed, trying to rid his throat as blood and stomach bile rose up. Gohan coughed harshly several times. Blood and stomach fluids splattered onto the dry ground in front of Gohan.

Cell smirked and dropkicked Gohan a few feet away. Gohan landed with a 'thud', pain throbbing through him. Cell warned, "You better watch it, boy. I control your life now."

So? Did you like?
