AN/ My first Dragonball fic, the song is Yeah! Break! Care! Break!, the ending credits theme song to the HD re-release of DBZ, known as Dragonball KAI I would advise looking up the song on Youtube before reading this (full version, not TV). The intro is a bit vauge, as I wrote it to sound like the opening to a DBZ movie, but it starts four years after the Cell Saga, and the High School Saga starts seven years after. The first part, we will call the Legendary Saga. Yay. It is a what if/AU story, as in what would happen if some of the movies were rearranged in chronology and if Gohan had kept training after Cell. I know, it has been done, but I'm adding in my own twist. ENJOY!
"THIS IS THE END OF YOU CELL!"
"IMPOSSIBLE!!!"
"KAAAA MEEEEEE….. HHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…."
"I…… AM…….. PEEEERRRFEEECT!!!!!!!!"
"!!!!"
These were the words that ended an era of terror, however short it was. An era of peace began. Many lives were lost to end the monster called cell, and the remnants of the once powerful Red Ribbon Army were vanquished. The father passed his status of savior to the son. The son was faced with the loss of the father that he barely knew. He made a solemn vow to protect his world from evil, and continue to train and protect where his father couldn't.
THIS IS
DRAGON BALL Z: GOHAN'S FURY
ya bure ka bure omoikkiri
tobu nda mugen no sora e!
A twelve year old boy is shown, carrying in his arms the smiling form of a newborn baby, who looks strikingly familiar
jettokiryuu ni nokkari
doko demo iku yo sokkoo
mukoumizu tte saikoo
let's go tip-top! all right? me mo sameru you na aoi chikyuu
kakegaenai kono hoshi yuzurenai kara
The boy is older now, standing atop a mountain. His eye flashes green and his hair spikes up and turns from black to gold. He lets out a deafening scream and the mountain shatters under his flaming, electrified aura.

yaba me no kono jidai
sekai o mamoru tame umareta kara
yeah! break! care! break! Omoikkiri
yaru nda furu pawaa
kibou ga ore no buki da kar
mirai shinjite
He is shown standing in front of the same baby, now much older, a lavender haired boy of the same age. He looks down on them and ruffles their hair fondly with a grin. They, in turn, tackle him to the ground.
taikiken sae nukedashi
supiido agete joushou
mahha de ikeba rakushou
let's go sky-high! all right?
ima nara maniau kono hoshi ni
ikiru inochi subete o tasuketai kara
The boy is now an adult, eighteen years old. He shoulders a backpack and looks up to see an angry looking man with hair standing upwards, similar to a flame, a small man with a bowl cut and a red t-shirt, and a green alien with a turban and a cape. The three smile at him as he flies off towards an unknown destination. As he flies, he sees a three eyed man, sparring with what seems to be a child with pure white skin and a cap. They stop and wave.

yeah! break! care! break! Arittake
hikari no ya o hanate
pinchi wa purasu ni dekiru sa
mirai mezasou
The father stands upon a snake like walkway, surrounded by a screaming blue squat man, a monkey, a cricket, old man with a cat-mask and an assortment of odd aliens.
hajiike tobase kamehameha
yaba me no kono jidai
sekai o mamoru tame umareta kara
yeah! break! care! break! omoikkiri
yaru nda furu pawaa
kibou ga ore no buki da kara
mirai shinjite
The son looks at the sky and smiles as he flies toward a school building with a huge orange star on the front. The father watches his son and a tear falls from his eye.
takarajima wa koko ni aru
nakama to iu takara
riaru na kiseki da yo deaeta koto
yeah! break! care! break! Arittake
hikari no ya o hanate

The boy lands and a girl with black hair and pigtails, and a blonde girl with short hair run out to greet him.
Episode 1 of the Legendary Saga!
NEW VEGETA? PARAGUS' PLEA!
IN THE DEEP REACHES OF SPACE, THE SOUTH GALAXY WAS ROTATING ON ITS AXIS AS IT HAD DONE FOR BILLIONS OF YEARS. BUT, TODAY WAS DIFFERENT. THE CORE OF THE GALAXY ERUPTED AS THOUGH SOMETHING HAD BURST FROM IT LIKE AN EGG. THEN IT WENT STILL.
"GOKU!" screamed King Kai. A man with unruly black hair, an orange dogi, and a halo looked up from the feast in front of him and swallowed.
"What King Kai?" he asked, his chopstick hovering over a bowl of pork rice.
"WE HAVE A PROBLEM!" cried the blue man from his ledge along snake way. "WE NEED TO GET AHOLD OF YOUR FRIENDS NOW!"
"MR. SATAN! MR. SATAN!"
"YEAH-HA HA!!!" screamed a large man into a microphone. He was very muscular and had an afro and a handlebar mustache. "I AM PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT AFTER FOUR YEARS OF INTENSE TRAINING, I AM READY FOR A CHANGE OF PACE! I AM HERE TO SAY THAT YOU'RE SAVIOR, THE CHAMP, HERCULE SATAN, IS MOVING TO ORANGE STAR CITY…"
The crowd went ballistic, save for three people. A black haired girl around the age of thirteen, seated to his left scowled at the embarrassing display with her arms crossed. Just then, he pointed at her.
"…WITH MY LOVLEY DAUGHTER VIDEL!" he shouted. She huffed and waved meekly at the crowd. Her father continued with his raving long enough to announce that the city was to be renamed in his honor. He slapped her forehead in embarrassment.
The other two who did not join the crowd were a black haired mother and son who were arguing across the street.
"No Gohan," Chi Chi raged. "You can't go to that picnic with your father's friends! This interview is important. I already let you waste your time training with outside when you should be studying, and that stops now. You are going to the school interview and that's final!"
"But mooooooom!" he moaned. Son Gohan had grown much taller in the last four years, and cut his hair. He was leaner and had a darker gleam in his eye, one that you see in a hardened veteran. Even though he was only fifteen, he was an imposing figure when angry, even though he trembled at the sight of his mother's frying pan. Today, he was in a very dorky suit and bow tie. "We barely get to visit anymore, and you let Goten go!"
Son Gohan had grown much taller in the last four years, and cut his hair. He was leaner and had a darker gleam in his eye, one that you see in a hardened veteran. Even though he was only fifteen, he was an imposing figure when angry, even though he trembled at the sight of his mother's frying pan. Today, he was in a very dorky suit and bow tie.
The tie, you see, was because his mother was dragging him to Orange Star High School, a very popular private school in the area, to teach him a lesson. Against her wishes he had continued training so he could become the protector of the world in his father's stead. Son Goku, unfortunately, had died facing the android Cell. He had ravaged their mountains with his power, and Chi Chi had had enough. She decided to send him somewhere where he could study and, knowing his obedient disposition, would not sneak out to train instead of studying. This place was high school.
Gohan wanted no part of the high school experience. He wanted to train, and he knew everything a person would and wouldn't want to know. Today was especially bad because everyone was having a picnic to celebrate the fourth anniversary of Cell's defeat. And he really wanted to go.
"Plus, I haven't trained in a month, I deserve this!" He groaned. "Pleeeeease!"
Chi Chi let out a defeated sigh. He did rarely get to visit his friends, and she could reschedule.
"Fine," she said. "But we are definitely going next week."
"Thanks mom!" He shouted. As he put his fingers to his forehead and vanished. She gave a start.
"Why did Goku have to teach him that trick?!"
Gohan reappeared in front of a very startled looking Vegeta, who was leaning on a cherry tree. He looked around the slowly angering prince and saw the frightening sight of Krillin singing karaoke.
"Brat!" snapped Vegeta. "Why is it, whenever you use that blasted technique, you have to lock onto my ki signature?!"
"Oh," Gohan looked at Vegeta and smiled. "You are the easiest to pick up. Sorry Vegeta."
"Hmph," scoffed Vegeta. "Have you been training like you should have? Your base form seems weaker then the last time we met."
"It's been hard," said Gohan. "My mom is doing everything she can to stop me. I can retain Super Saiyan 2 for two weeks now."
"It took you that long to reach that state of mastery?"
"Have you met my mother?"
Vegeta smirked and leaned back against the tree.
"The third class brat is with my woman," he said, before closing his eyes in meditation. Gohan, knowing that Vegeta was referring to Goten, went to go say hello to his friends.
Master Roshi was off the wagon again, red faced and balancing a bunch of plates on sticks from various parts of his body, much to the pleasure of the young ones. Bulma waved to him from the picnic blanket, four year old Goten in her lap and five year old Trunks riding Turtle's shell. In a chair nearby was a heavily pregnant Eighteen, her face in her palm at her husband's foolish attempt at singing. Yamcha was playing a game of cards with Oolang, Puar, Tien and Chiaotzu.
Gohan smiled at his friends and he went to go see his little brother.
"Hey squirt," he greeted, bending down to pick the boy up. "Enjoying the show?"
"Yeah!" replied the mini saiyan. He looked just like his father, in a most striking way. While Goku was in other world, Gohan had assumed the role of father. His title, of course, remained brother. "Mister Roshi is funny."
"That's Master!" slurred the self proclaimed hermit. "Not mis—WOAH!"
He lost his balance and fell on his face, covered in shattered plates. The only ones who weren't laughing were Vegeta and Turtle, who was slowly shuffling towards his fallen master in alarm.
When Turtle got there, Roshi responded by climbing on the poor turtles shell and passing out. This only made everyone laugh harder. Gohan stopped laughing and looked up, his eyes widening in shock. Goten noted his older brother's alarm and looked up too. Vegeta came out of hiding and stood next to Gohan.
"You sense it too?" Gohan asked.
"Yes," said Vegeta. "they may be weak, but those ki signatures are not human."
Suddenly, the wind picked up and a huge spherical ship deactivated its cloaking device. Krillin was unfazed and continued his song. Roshi awoke from his stupor and cowered in the face of the ship. It landed in front of them.
Gohan felt a presence behind him and turned to see Piccolo. He nodded at his former mentor who returned the gesture. Gohan's expression hardened as he watched the hatch open. He gripped Goten tightly to himself.
From within the dark confines of the ship, an army of small green aliens in face masks charge down the ramp and kneel in front of Vegeta. They were then followed by an old one-eyed saiyan stepped down, walking towards Vegeta. He had a scar where his left eye once was, and he had the look of a man who had seen too much and survived. He wore a cape and had his tail around his waist. He stopped in front of Vegeta and kneeled.
"My lord and master, Prince Vegeta," he said. "I am finally at your service."
"Stand," said Vegeta. "You are a saiyan aren't you?"
"I am Paragus," said the saiyan. "I come to graciously ask you to be the king of our planet. It is called New Vegeta, in your honor."
Vegeta was taken aback, but hid it in a mask of angry confusion.
"What?" he demanded. "A new Planet Vegeta?"
"Yes my lord, and at last we can show the universe our strength… the strength of our forgotten race!"
Paragus stood and raised his hands in a gesture of embellishment.
"The mightiest race! The saiyan race!"
He turned and shook his fist at the ship.
"With you as our leader we will forge a new, unstoppable empire!"
His troops all began to shout "HAIL VEGETA! HAIL VEGETA!"
Vegeta grunted as his way of saying no and Paragus took his only option. He walked off towards his meditation spot.
"Of course we would have to stop the Legendary Super Saiyan," he goaded. "Only you could do this my lord."
Vegeta stopped and Gohan heard a faint chuckle from Paragus. His scowl deepened.
"You found," muttered Vegeta. "The Legendary Super Saiyan?"
"Yes, he is wreaking havoc all across the South Galaxy with his awesome power. At this rate, the new planet Vegeta we worked so hard to construct for you will be destroyed."
"Vegeta," said Gohan, speaking up for the first time. "You don't believe this story do you? I don't trust this guy one bit."
"Lead the way Paragus," said Vegeta.
"Vegeta!" growled Gohan.
"And who might you be?" Paragus said, looming over Gohan as if trying to intimidate him. Goten began to shudder in Gohan's arms. Gohan looked up at Paragus and said the most official thing he could.
"I am Gohan, son of Kakarot," he said. He took a bit of pride in being able to talk like that. He showed no fear of Paragus, knowing that he was powerful enough to destroy the old saiyan without moving an inch.
"Kakarot?" said Paragus, Taking a moment to think. Then he chuckled with the memory. "My son was born on the same day as that siren of an infant. He only had a power level of two."
Gohan flared his power level and Paragus had to step back in shock.
"Gohan," growled Vegeta. Gohan's eyes widened at the use of his name. Vegeta had only ever used it at the Cell Games. Paragus shook his head.
"The boy is obviously of high class rank," he said. "Even though his father is not. He is welcome to join us."
Gohan nodded and put down Goten.
"Stay with Bulma," he said. "I'll be back in a little while."
"But Gohan!" complained the little saiyan. "I wanna come to outer space too!"
"Sorry little guy," said the older boy, walking up the ramp behind . Goten was just about to start crying when he heard someone whisper in his ear.
"Goten," whispered Trunks. "We can sneak in as soon as the big door thing starts to close!"
Goten instantly brightened.
"Okay!" he chirped.
"This might be interesting," said Piccolo, speaking for the first time since his arrival. He followed Gohan up the ramp.
"King of his own planet?" said Bulma, too distracted by her husband's schemes to pay attention to the two small boys crawling up the side of the ship toward the entrance. "That's just what his ego needs."
"Vegeta! Gohan! Piccoloooo!" groaned Master Roshi, who was struggling up the ramp while being restrained by Krillin and Oolong. They made it in just to be crushed by the weight of two young half-saiyans. Goten was panting and lay on his back.
"I wish," he groaned. "I could fly."
Just then, they were caught off guard by a looming shadow.
"Goten…" growled Gohan. His eyes were flashing from black to green at a rapid pace. "Trunks!"
"Uh-oh," they both said, knowing they were in for it.
Gohan, Vegeta and Paragus stood overlooking a lush green landscape. Piccolo had volunteered to oversee Goten and Trunks and he was punishing them for their disobedience by making them lay face down in the dirt and count to one thousand. Roshi had passed out again, seeing as he had snuck in some "spare booze" as he put it. Krillin and Oolong were sitting next to him playing tic-tac-toe in the dirt.
"Thirty-four years," said Paragus. "Since our world was destroyed by Frieza. Ever since then it has been my lifes work to build a new Planet Vegeta, not just to reunite the most powerful race in history, but to honor your father, King Vegeta, who was regrettably lost in the explosion. Now that you have chosen to join us Prince Vegeta, my lifelong wish has finally been fulfilled."
Vegeta grunted as a response.
"How did you escape?" asked Gohan.
"I was on a mission on another planet. As was my son."
They turned to see a formation of various alien soldiers who immediately chanted "ALL HAIL VEGETA".
"These men have gathered from the far reaches of the universe," said Paragus, waving his arm in a sweeping motion. "They are here to serve you… King Vegeta."
Gohan looked to the back of their ranks and saw who he assumed to be Paragus' son. He was very tall, shirtless, with baggy white pants and various forms of jewelry, including an odd tiara on his forhead. He had a glazed look on his face. It gave Gohan the chills.
They walked into the castle halls to greet him.
"This is my only son," said Paragus. "He is at your service my lord."
"I… am Broly," said the man in a monotone. His voice was deep and a bit grating. Gohan gave him the once over and turned to see how Goten and Trunks were. Piccolo let them stand and they ran over to Gohan.
"We're sorry," they said looking at their feet. Gohan nodded and noticed a power fluctuation coming from Broly. He was staring at Goten, with a rage that Gohan had only seen a few times from several people. Gohan stepped in front of Goten, who was whimpering from fear. Gohan and broly stared at each other with scowls on their faces. They were cut off by Roshi, who was dragging himself around begging the soldiers for medicine.
"Your Majesty!" shouted a soldier. He kneeled in their presence. "The super Saiyan has been spotted on Planet Totokama!"
"What?!" Vegeta nearly shouted. "Broly! Come with me. I'm going to take care of this Super Saiyan freak right now!"
"Yes, my lord," responded Broly.
"Vegeta!" said Gohan. "We should collect more intelligence first! It's too dangerous!"
"The only danger lies in standing against me! Broly, come!"
Paragus chuckled.
Gohan, Krillin and Piccolo flew through a nearby forest with the intent of exploring the area. Gohan was carrying Goten in his arms and Krillin was carrying Trunks. Piccolo was flying solo. Krillin and Piccolo were keeping their distance from Gohan because he was still brooding over the behavior of Paragus and Broly.
"So guys," said Krillin, attempting to break the ice. "Do you think the Legendary Super Saiyan really exists? Seems pretty farfetched to me."
"I don't know Krillin," said Gohan. "But Vegeta doesn't. That's the problem."
"We should keep our guard up," said Piccolo. "I don't trust that saiyan or his son. That Broly had a strange look on his face, and I don't like the way he was staring at Goten. It was as though Broly had seen him before."
GOHAN!
Gohan came to a sudden halt and scared the living daylights out of Goten.
"Dad?" he looked up. Krillin and Piccolo flew back to him.
"Gohan are you all right?" asked Krillin, apparently having not heard the voice.
I finally got a hold of him King Kai! said the disembodied voice of Goku.
GET ON WITH IT! Shouted King Kai.
Right! Sorry! Gohan Where are you?
"I'm on a planet called New Vegeta," responded Gohan. "Some saiyans came and asked Vegeta to be their new king, but I don't trust them. Wait, that's beside the point! Where the hell are you?!"
I'm in Other World with King Kai. I've been trying to locate your ki signature all day! I have a warning for you!
"What?"
"Big brother," whimpered Goten from Gohan's grip."You're scaring me!"
Gohan ignored his little brother and spoke to Goku.
The South Galaxy has been ravaged by a powerful being! I've never sensed anything like it and it is dangerously close to the planet you are on!
The revelation clicked instantly. Gohan gasped and looked at his companions.
"The Legendary Super Saiyan!"
SO? What did you think? Be honest, and leave a review!
