It has been six months since the Cell Games, and the Z warriors were enjoying a time of peace and prosperity. Meanwhile you can find a certain Namekian and Halfbreed enjoying a sparring match.

" Ya!" Piccolo cried as a white aura emitted from his lengthy statue. The Namekian charged towards his former student launching a series of blows.

" You have to go faster." Gohan taunted as he grabbed onto Piccolo's arm and began swinging him around until he released him and the Namekian spiraled into a nearby mountain.

" I'm not done yet. Take this!" Piccolo retaliated by stretching his arm and launching on the young half breeds leg. A cunning smirk appeared on the Namekians face as he drew Gohan closer to him then drove his fist into his back, causing him to collapse onto the floor.

" Da da da!" Piccolo screamed as he fired green ki blast at the weakened super sayain.

" I'm not finished." Gohan proclaimed as he rose from the ground and his golden like aura erupted. The young super sayain charged towards his former mentor and roundhouse kicked him onto the ground, Gohan saw his opportunity to end the fight but chose not to pursue.

" Gohan, you lack the killer instincts it takes to be a true warrior." Piccolo started. " You have to stop holding back! Goku wanted you to succeed! He wanted you to be great!"

Those words rang in the 10 year old's head,

' Goku wanted you to succeed.'

Then the young boy became overwhelmed by countless emotions causing him to fall to the ground. " Why did Dad have to die?" Gohan asked his voice dripping with melancholy and disdain. " Why? I'm just a child." Gohan's eyes became swelled with tears as his voice wavered. " I DON'T WANT THIS!" Gohan roared angrily as his ki output skyrocketed and lightning surrounded his small structure.

" You did, you've tapped into your inner power." Piccolo commented mesmerized by the power that was emitting from the young boys body.

" AH!" Gohan screeched as he unleashed all the power that was left within him. Causing the ground to shake. Once Gohan finished yelling his aura evaporated and his hair drooped now sporting it's natural colour black.

" Gohan!" Chichi cried as she ran towards her son. " You monster! What did you do!?" Chichi lifted her son and glared daggers at the Namekian.

" I just told him what he needed to hear. Gohan it's you or the world. You have to decide." Piccolo said as his feet lifted from the ground and he flew into the distance.

" Are you ok sweetheart?"

" Yah. He didn't do anything to me." Gohan replied as he stood to his feet.

" Why? Why did dad have to die?" Gohan thought as a sole tear fell from his chubby face and his muscles tensed, " I never wanted this, why me? WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE!" Gohan yelled at nobody in particular.

" Maybe some dinner will calm me." Gohan thought as he walked back home.

Later that night…

Gohan was hunched over on his desk chair as he solved one algebraic problem from another, until he came to a problem.

" A squared plus B squared should equal C squared but it doesn't! What is going on!" Gohan roared as he thrashed around his room and destroyed his desk. Soon a familiar golden aura surrounded the young boy as he bursted through the room.

" Gohan what have you done?!" Chichi questioned her eldest son.

" Leave me alone." Gohan whispered his voice hoarse with emotion.

" Don't give me that disrespect!" Chichi cried as she smacked Gohan's arm.

" I said leave me alone!" Gohan cried as he drove his fist into his mother's stomach sending her spiraling through the house walls.

" Ah!" Chichi wailed in pain as she clenched her stomach and tears fell from her soft face. Suddenly Gohan's golden aura disappeared and his eyes softened.

" Mom! I'm so sorry!" Gohan sobbed as he dashed towards his injured mother, once Gohan lifted her shirt he noticed a dark black spot from his attack.

' What have I done?' Gohan asked himself as he surveyed the wounds.

" Gohan I can't breathe… help." Chichi pleaded.

So the 10 year old warrior scooped up his mom and blitzed towards the lookout.

" Dende! She's hurt! Please hurry!" Gohan informed as he arrived at the lookout and placed his mother gently on the tile surface.

" What happened?" Dende asked as he began to heal Chichi.

" She got me mad and hit me… I was a damn idiot and hit her in the stomach."

" Ok." Dende replied as he finished healing Chichi. " How do you feel?" Dende asked Chichi. " Perfect actually thank you very much. How did you manage to heal me? I truly thought I was a goner."

" I'm a Namekain from the magical clan, I can heal any wounds. That was a considerably minor one considering the stuff I've healed in the past. I'm glad I've you got to me in time, I am the guardian of earth. I can't allow my people to die so suddenly." Dende replied as he helped Chichi off the ground.

" I'm sorry mom, I truly am. I don't deserve to be around you anymore. I don't deserve a mother as loving as you. I will never hurt you again because I will never see you again." Gohan apologized his voice seeping with self loathing.

And with that the conquerer of Cell disappeared.
