And this is a story I promised a long time ago. Gohan's Redemption Chronicles, the Movie Verse!

For anyone who never read my original story, Gohan's Redemption, what are you doing reading this story before that one? GO READ IT! Also, read its sequel, which I have renamed from it's horrible original name. Now it's The Reckoning.

Back to Movie Verse. It's been a while since I wrote for this timeline I created, and now I'm changing it up even further. For each of the Movies, I'll give the probably scenario given the characters and potential continuity. I will NOT being doing movies I have already covered, neither will I do Dead Zone. I believe I stated the reasons in my story as to why Dead Zone is a no go, but as a reminder: It's an AU to Radditz's arrival and it has just enough to conflict with continuity, especially since Krillin meets/knows Gohan in that movie. Heck, even TeamFourStar had this pitched as joke by KRILLIN of all people, and excluding Episode 60 part 3 (which was amazing), we know what a joke means coming from Krillin.

All that being said, here's "The World's Strongest," or how to abridge The World's Strongest in fanfiction form, without intentionally insulting TFS because they did an awesome job of it themselves. Trust me, if they can make that movie 30 minutes, I'm making it like 15 minutes or less, all things considered.

Disclaimer: RDF1 doesn't own Dragonball, DBZ, DBGT, DBS, DB Movies, etc. If I DID own this series, would I be making fanfiction about it? ...I thought not.

Point of Interest: I originally said I wouldn't continue the story into DBS mainly because it was super early in its anime form. Now, Japanese Anime has concluded, English Dub is getting into its last arc, and... yeah. A lot of things have been expanded, and I know EXACTLY how to rewrite Super to work with my Gohan's redemption timeline. So, maybe 2020 or something... I still don't know yet.

I think that's all for now.

(Story Begin)

Gohan really should have seen this coming and had pre-empted it, but for some reason, he just forgot about it. Not that anyone else remembered either. To be fair, it HAD been a year since Nappa and Vegeta came to Earth. The Z-Fighters managed to survive, though barely, thanks to him and Piccolo actually being their future selves in their younger bodies. Tien and Chaotzu returned to training in their homeland while Yamcha turned his focus to Baseball. So, when Oolong told him about the Dragonballs being gathered, he realized it wasn't a Z-Fighter, since only Bulma (and the Red Ribbon Army) had the Technology to even track the dang things. Well... them and two other people, so Gohan did what any reasonable future knowledge bearing person would...

"Oolong, tell my dad I'm going to meet up with Piccolo. He should join us as soon as he can," informed Gohan, before flying off in the Gi Piccolo created for him, with free-flowing cape included.

"What?" said a bewildered Oolong, blinking in ignorance to what the kid had just said to him. Upon realizing what trouble he would be in if he did NOT tell Goku... well death by Chi Chi wasn't pleasant.

(AN1)

Gohan flew through the mountains, barely maintaining his warmth with his Ki, though even that didn't completely protect him from the cold. He tracked down Piccolo's Ki and set down nearby.

"Gohan, about time you got here," said Piccolo, with four Saibaman knock-offs surrounding him.

"Sorry I'm late. It slipped my mind that the idiot scientists would be making their move at this time," replied Gohan, moving fast and knocking one of the Bio-men away from Piccolo as he countered the other three trying to jump him.

They both powered up Ki Blasts and obliterated the Bio-Men.

"How'd they get ahold of Saibaman DNA?" asked Gohan.

"Scattered remnants from our battle against them last year, I suppose," replied Piccolo, as they moved to the now revealed base in the Arctic.

"Dad's on his way, so let's not let him have all the fun," smirked Gohan, as he and Piccolo made their way inside, only to be faced with the Bio-Warriors.

"Dibs on Static Shock," called Gohan, before speeding off into battle.

"That leaves Iceman and the Blob to me," chuckled Piccolo as they powered up and began the attack.

The Bio-Warriors were proving their strength, as it was significantly harder to take them down. Gohan, for all his mental and physical training, could barely keep up with the electric Bio-Warrior and ended up getting shocked a few times, before finally powering through it and blasting the Electric Bio-Warrior through the chest, killing him. Piccolo's battle was more evenly matched, especially since Piccolo used Multi-form to create a second Piccolo, and both kept up with the stretchy and ice Bio-Warriors. However, at half-strength, his two halves couldn't outright defeat them holding back, so they focused their power and tore through the stretchy Bio-Warrior physically while using an Makankosappo on the other one, piercing right through the Ice Bio-Warrior's head. Moving quickly, they found the central room of the base and flew to the top, sensing Goku not far behind them.

(AN2)

When Gohan and Piccolo set down, ready for a fight, they didn't exactly know what to expect, as they never really fought Dr. Willow before. They really only know he was a brain in a jar... with arms and legs, and a tail.

"So...we ask for the strongest man in the world, and a brat and green slug man was not what we were expecting," chuckled Dr. Kochin, before GOhan just sighed and zipped over to him and destroyed his robotic arm before knocking him down the pit on the outside of the platform.

It was then and there that Goku showed up, having had to deal with Spike balls in the hundreds before catching up to them.

"Gohan, you have a LOT of explaining to do," sternly spoke Goku.

"Save it for after we beat this guy, okay?" replied Gohan, not 'really' caring, "he's a wannabe Word Conqueror."

"Yeah, my dad had more success than this guy, and he wasn't even 1/10th our current strength," added Piccolo, sparing a glance to Goku.

Goku sighed, he'd really have to try and keep his son's time with Piccolo limited. He was picking up some of Piccolo's bad habits.

(AN3)

Kochin attempted to fire a laser from his cane at Gohan, who appeared to be the weakest of the three, if Goku's late arrival was any indication of backup these two had called for; however, Gohan flared his Ki into a barrier, which blocked the cane laser and the resulting shockwaves started to crack the walls, getting Willow's attention.

"That boy's strength... it's unreal," said the brain in a jar, which was the size of a greyhound.

(AN4)

Gohan let out a shout, causing more cracks to appear in the building as Kochin himself was knocked back, his cane in pieces.

"Fine, I'll do this myself," said Willow, breaking out of the wall, revealing his exoskeleton.

"Full power, on three," said Piccolo, setting two fingers against his forehead, a flare of aura around him.

The Son Father and Son duo also flared their auras, with Goku's turning red a second afterwards going into Kaioken.

"Special..."

"Ma..."

"Kame..."

"Beam..."

"senko..."

"hame..."

"CANNON!"

"HAAA!"

The Kamehameha and the Masenko encircled each other as the combined blast collided with Willow's own energy cannon, then the Makankosappo merged with the Son Family's and the combined force was enough to blow the roof off... literally, and send Dr. Willow into the sky.

"He's not done yet," panted Goku, feeling the effects of Kaioken backlashing.

"We'll hold him off, dad," said Gohan, powering up again alongside Piccolo.

"Charge the Spirit Bomb," added Piccolo before they both flew up after Willow.

Gohan and Piccolo intercepted Willow's blasts from hitting Goku as they charged in at him. Willow proved his mind was indeed sharp as it was able to read their movements, allowing him to block or counterattack most of their attacks. They then sensed the Spirit Bomb was ready and fell back, blasting Willow with a combined energy barrage to keep him occupied as the Spirit Bomb made its way towards its target. By the time Willow could process the distraction, it was too late as the Spirit Bomb hit its mark, destroying Willow and saving the Earth.

Gohan sighed at his desk, five tall stacks of books waiting to be filled. He was grounded for his little stunt and banned from seeing Piccolo for three months, something his father oddly enough didn't argue against. He did break rules and as a child, he couldn't escape punishment. It didn't matter though. The world was saved, and he could always talk to Piccolo through their connection while meditating, something Chi Chi couldn't argue against as it helps focuses the mind, which would help with his studies, not that he needed it having already gone through 3x the material Chi Chi had already given him, and that was only by the time he faced Cell. Looking out his window, he smirked, the future of this particular timeline didn't look to bad, so long as they didn't have to go to Namek to deal with Frieza.

(Story End)

Okay, to power scale everyone because since before Frieza numbers were still a thing, I'll place everything in tiered system: Normal, Max, true Max (emotional adrenaline high).

Gohan: 2000 - 7200 - 26000

Piccolo: 1200 - 8000 - 23500

Goku: 1000 - 10000 - Kaiokenx3 30000 - 34500

Kochin: 2000 - (Cane)10000

Willow: 28000 - (cannon blast) 40000

Again, it's numbers that don't mean anything other than reminding us it's rather pointless to rely on them in the first place. I'll be using numbers up until Lord Slug, because they were technically still a thing during this time. Know that I'm upscaling these guys from their canon counterparts (at least Gohan and Piccolo) because timeline shenanigans and ripple effect.

So, I basically ripped out so many good moments from good characters like Roshi and Krillin (who despite being bulletproof has a healthy fear of being shot, so it would make sense for Krillin to run from bullets from a mental standpoint), ultimately stripping the movie down to Gohan and Piccolo take out Henchmen, and then team up with Goku for some overkill on the boss(es). Also, Kochin died same way as in Canon, just to clarify.

Author Notes!

AN1: Snu-Snu reference!

AN2: TFS can never get that right unless it's Cell. I guess that's why he's... (puts on sunglasses) Perfect! (LOLZ!)

AN3: Even Goku has a limit when it comes to his son interacting with his former enemy.

AN4: Abridged Wheelo: THE BUS!?
But in all seriousness, that moment was awesome for Gohan and now that he's in control, he has to will it himself, rather than let an emotional outburst do the job for him.

Okay, inconsistency with the Doctor's naming convention. Kochin is the same, unless I'm missing something... Willow is the original translation, but other Dubs have called him Wheelo, and it stuck. Even I called him Wheelo growing up, and in DBZ fashion, both would actually work. (I mean Saiyan Naming convention goes off Vegetables, even though they primarily eat meat. Actually that makes sense since they aren't actually cannibals.)

First of some half-a-dozen movies to work with. World's Strongest, Tree of Might, Lord Slug, Cooler's Return, I MIGHT do History of Trunks, Super Android 13, Broly's second coming. Ignoring Bio-Broly because Gohan wasn't even apart of that adventure. After that... we'll see. Let me know if I missed any of the movies that I didn't already cover in my main story and its sequel. Dead Zone doesn't count. Incorporated Cooler's Revenge, Bojack Unbound, and Wrath of the Dragon into canon. Also went over Fusion Reborn as a spinoff extra.

Later,
