Good morning my fellow bronies...and others. I promised that I would not abandon my story and I don't plan on going back on what I said. That being said let me go ahead and lay out some of the changes that are going to differ from the earlier version of the story.
Change Number 1: Gohan is going to have power limiters for a good part of the story. I won't spoil what the limiters will be and what significance they have to later parts of the story but just know this...things are gonna be big!
Change Number 2: There is going to be an addition to Gohan's already large harem. As to who is going to be added...You are just going to have to find out for yourself when we get there.
Change Number 3: I am going to change the way Gohan enters Equestria that way I can avoid the same old beginning as every other Cell games era Gohan crossover (You know Gohan defeats Cell and gets sucked through a portal).
I feel as if these changes will enhance the story for the better without causing the story to become uninteresting.
Please forgive my severe lateness and please enjoy this story.
My Little Gohan Book 1
Chapter 1: A New Beginning
Sacrifice is the ultimate penalty for someone wanting to protect their loved ones. Son Gohan knew this all to well as his own father sacrificed himself to prevent Cell from blowing up their beloved planet.
Unfortunately the universe felt as if the offering wasn't good enough as it allowed the psychotic android to reform himself and continue his rampage. It was only with a few encouraging words from his father's spirit was he able to gain the power he needed to put down the psychopath for good.
Now three weeks later Gohan was face down on his bed contemplating his failures.
Why had he allowed things to get so bad? If he had only destroyed Cell when his father told him too he would still be alive. As if things weren't bad enough his poor mother was now pregnant with another baby who would now be fatherless.
"Why am I so useless!" Gohan gritted out slamming his fist into his pillow.
He had been like this ever since his father's funeral. He couldn't even bring himself to look at his friends in the eye, not wanting to see the sadness fill their faces.
Would it have mattered anyway? It wasn't as if any of them would want to say anything to him anyway.
The only person to actually talk to him since that day was his mentor Piccolo. Even after renouncing his evil ways he could never bring himself to feel sad that his rival had been eliminated.
Gohan remembered the words Piccolo had spoken to him right before leaving to train.
(Flashback)
"He died a warrior's death kid, he wouldn't have wanted to go out any other way." Piccolo spoke placing his hand on his student's shoulder.
Gohan couldn't believe that his father would have wanted to die by being blown to smithereens "But if I had just listened and destroyed Cell none of this would have happened and he would still be..." He was cut off by the firm voice of his teacher.
"Don't you dare say another word! None of us could have possibly imagined that things would end that way. How do you think he would feel if he saw you acting this way!?"
(End Flashback)
"How do I know what he would feel? I can't ever remember him feeling sad, angry maybe but never sad." He thought to himself.
His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of his mother's voice calling him from the other room.
"Gohan sweety, time for lunch!" Called Chichi's voice.
Sighing deeply he rolled over and hopped off his bed.
"Alright mom I'm com..." He was cut short by the sound of electricity filling the air.
Taking a defensive stance Gohan looked around to see where the sound was coming from. It kept getting louder and louder until it became painful for his sensitive hearing to bear. Clutching his head he began to drop to the ground.
"Somebody please make it stop!" He yelled out just as the ground beneath him began glowing "Wha...What's happening!?".
He felt his body sinking lower and lower until he quite literally disappeared into his floor leaving only a scorched circle in his place.
"Gohan I said your lunch is ready!" Chichi yelled swinging open his door. Looking around she scowled at the mess that had become her son's room "I bet he made this mess and then left to train with the monster!". Looking down at the gigantic burn mark on the ground she scowl on her face got even larger "He better not thing I'm going to be the one cleaning this up!".
(Unknown location)
"I can't believe he would leave me to clean all this up!" A creature that appeared to be a purple pony groaned out as she looked at the mess that had now filled her usually cozy home.
She had desperately wanted to get back to her studies pertaining to a certain festival that was due to take place in just three days.
"Alright maybe this isn't so bad, now I have a chance to try out that cleaning spell I read about." She said as she began concentrating as hard as she could.
The horn that adorned her forehead began to give off a bright glow as it gathered it's magical energy. Pointing it towards the mess she released the stored power and hoped that when she was finished she would have the desired effect.
She watched as her magic took the form of a large bubble that filled up a large area of the room. She had to quickly cover her eyes due to the intense light before her.
Suddenly a loud pop and a thump filled the room as the pony opened her eyes to observe the fruits of her labor. She let out a loud gasp as she observed the result of her spell.
Sprawled out on the floor in front of her was a colt that she had never seen before. His coat was a dark purple, with a spiky black mane attached to his head. On his flank was a symbol of an orange ball with four stars on the surface of it.
"Really...I can summon a colt but I can't clean a simple room...I mean oh my Celestia!" She quickly ran to his side to assist him.
Looking down at him she noticed he was softly groaning to himself.
"Um...sir are you okay?" She asked as he slowly started to shake himself awake.
Leaning his head up the colt tried to steady his vision as he answered "No...I'm not. What in the world happened to me?".I
The purple mare tried to help him up "Well I may have accidentally teleported you from wherever it is you were into my home. I was trying to cast a spell to clean this mess up.".
The colt looked confused "Spells? Teleported? I don't understand how is that possible?".
The mare raised an eye at his response "Well magic is the most powerful energy in the universe so I don't see what so hard to understand.".
As the colt finally got on his hooves he began to look around "Does it normally feel so weird to walk around on four legs?
"Well seeing as how you have gotten through life this long with them it should feel as natural as talking." The mare said trying to figure out why he was acting so weirdly "Well I suppose I should introduce myself. I am Twilight Sparkle eager student of Princess Celestia, may I know your name kind sir?".
Thinking long and hard the colt answered "Well my name is Gohan, and...I can't remember anything else than that.".
Twilight gasped as she heard his response "You mean you can't remember anything?".
Shaking his head Gohan began kicking his front hoof out in front of him as if it was a foreign object.
"Did you remember hitting your head when you popped up here?" She asked with her hoof on her chin.
"Yeah when I got up my head was pounding." Gohan replied as he rubbed his head.
Twilight groaned and pounded her head on the wall "Perfect I try to clean a simple mess, and I wind up giving a poor pony a brain injury and amnesia!".
"Well maybe it's only temporary." Gohan said hopefully trying to cheer Twilight up.
She shook her head sternly as she looked him in the eye "I can't accept that solution. I caused you to lose your memory now I have to help you get it back so follow me!".
Without another word Twilight pulled Gohan along with her leaving the messy house behind them for a certain baby dragon to clean when he got back.
(Outside of Twilight's home)
As the two ponies made their way outside the dark sky suddenly was filled with the brightest light Gohan had ever (or couldn't remember) seeing.
Before him was a majestic city full of busy ponies moving left and right to get a start on their busy day.
"What is this place?" Gohan asked with his voice full of wonder.
Twilight was shocked "How in Equestria have you never heard of Canterlot!?" Gohan gave her a blank glare as she remembered "Oh right the amnesia.".
"So where exactly are you taking me?" Gohan asked trying to familiarize himself with the gigantic city.
Twilight smiled gleefully as she looked up at the largest building in Canterlot "I am taking you to the one pony who may be able to help you...Princess Celestia!".
"Will she be able to fix my memory?" He asked unsure if there was a solution to his problem.
"Princess Celestia is my teacher, and is also responsible for raising the sun and moon every day and night. Maybe she has some kind of memory restore spell that she could use on you." Twilight said with a hopeful tone. She was really starting to feel bad that a spell she had cast had caused somepony pain. She had been training all of her life to gain a deep understanding for her magic abilities, but sometimes just like today, she manages to goof things up.
After a long walk through the busy streets they finally found themselves at the front gates of the castle.
"Are you sure we can just walk in Twilight?" Gohan asked unsure if such an important Princess would just allow them to enter and see her just to help someone she had never even heard of before.
Twilight let out a laugh "Of course the Princess always has time for her number one student!".
Raising her hoof up she gave a loud knock on the door and took a few steps back. The door was soon answered by a guard in gold armor.
"Miss Twilight Sparkle the Princess has been expecting you, please follow me." The guard said motioning them inside.
Gohan chuckled softly "Looks like the Princess needs to see you just as bad as we need to see her.".
The guard led them into the large throne room and up to the elegant throne that was positioned at the far end of the room.
"Princess Celestia! Twilight Sparkle and her guest is here to see you." The guard said and took his leave.
Gohan was amazed at the majestic sight in front of him. Sitting on the throne in front of him was a beautiful mare with shimmering cerulean hair. She had a horn that was way larger than Twilight's and also beautiful angelic wings. Her eyes were loving but also seemed to gaze into his very soul.
"Princess Celestia it's so good to see you!" Twilight said running to give her friend a hug.
Returning the hug Celestia smiled down at her young student "It is good to see you as well my friend, and who is your friend?".
"Well Princess Celestia this is Gohan, and he kinda...needs your help." Twilight said speaking the last part in a rushed voice.
Celestia was confused at this "He needs my help, but whatever for?".
Gohan decided to speak for himself seeing how uncomfortable Twilight Sparkle was at being questioned about her mistake "Well your highness you see, Twilight kinda gave me amnesia when she teleported me inside of her house.".
"Why would you try to teleport him inside of your house Twilight. That spell takes a large amount of concentration, and is dangerous if not performed right." Celestia said with a slightly disappointed tone.
Twilight quickly tried to defend herself "Well you see Princess, I wasn't trying to teleport anyone. I was trying to use a cleaning spell to clean a mess that Spike had left and for some reason instead of cleaning the room it caused Gohan here to pop up and lose his memory. He didn't even know what Canterlot was!".
Princess Celestia looked to be deep in thought as she absorbed this information. Standing up from her throne she walked over to Gohan and began inspecting him.
Gohan began to feel uneasy at having someone inspect him so closely. He honestly didn't know what she was looking for in him but he hoped it was something good.
"Well to be honest I don't know for sure if I can help. It's been awhile since I've dealt with an amnesia case so I may need some time to prepare, but rest assured I will do everything in my power to help." Celestia said as she gave Gohan a quick wink.
Gohan smiled widely as he heard her answer "Thank you Princess!".
Princess Celestia gave him a warm smile as she looked to her student "Now Twilight I must have a word with you in private. Gohan would you mind waiting outside until I have spoken to my student?".
Gohan nodded understandingly as he walked through the entrance to wait outside.
Leaning against the large door Gohan waited patiently for Twilight and Celestia to finish their conversation. After twenty minutes of waiting, Twilight Sparkle walked through the door out to meet him.
"So what did the Princess want to discuss with you?" Gohan asked clearly curious about what they could have been talking about for this long.
Twilight gave him and uneasy look as she replied "Well...I can't really say, but what I can tell you is that the Princess wants for you to stay with me until she can fully figure out a way to help you!".
Smiling Gohan gleefully said "Sounds great, so are we heading back to your house?".
Looking down at the ground for a moment Twilight groaned out "Well we are but only to pack up to leave to a town called Ponyville.".
"Why...Are you in trouble?" Gohan asked wondering if he was the cause for this.
"No the Princess just wants me to oversee the preparations for the Summer Sun festival. It's being held in Ponyville this year." She said sighing again before walking off back down the trail.
Giving her a sad look Gohan could only follow behind without saying a word.
(Twilight's house)
They arrived back at Twilight's small home just as the sky started to get dark.
"SPIKE I'M HOME!" Twilight yelled as she walked through the door.
"Welcome back Twilight...and weird looking pony!" He said as he eyed Gohan suspiciously "Hey Twilight since when do you bring coltfriends back to your home?".
The Unicorn pony felt her face turn pink at the baby dragon's comment "He is not my coltfriend Spike, he is a friend that Princess Celestia, and myself are trying to help get his memory back.".
Spike laughed at seeing how defensive twilight became. "Whatever you say Twilight. So what time do we leave for Ponyville?".
"How did you already know about that?" Twilight asked with stern glare.
Spike pointed to the table where a scroll opened and ready to be read "The Princess sent that scroll about half an hour ago.".
"We leave first thing in the morning so you better get a good sleep tonight!" She said before walking up the stairs to the bed.
Gohan just stood in the same spot unsure of what he should do.
Spike noticed his confusion before saying "Don't worry if Twilight trusts you then I do too. You can crash on the couch tonight.".
Giving him an appreciative nod Gohan decided to turn in for the night. Although he couldn't help but think of the events that have happened all in one day.
He loses his memory in a freak accident, he met the Princess of a land he couldn't remember, he was already moving to a town that he knew less of than the one he was already in, and he was now living with a cute girl and her pet dragon.
His eyes snapped open at that last thought "Cute!? I barely even know the girl, how can I been thinking she's cute?".
Sighing loudly he buried his head into the couch and tried to get some sleep.
End Chapter 1
Alright everyone this is basically a pilot episode. It's not meant to be the best you have ever seen but it is meant to gain your attention and make you want to read more.
Here's some last minute information:
I have decided to make Gohan an Earth-pony as a way to show that he is just as normal as eveypony else...for now anyway.
Twilight is being sent to Ponyville early with some interesting new information that she didn't have before, and now knows something about her mysterious new friend.
I'm going to establish a friendship between Big Mac and Gohan as a way to change things up from being a kissy kissy romance fic for every single chapter of the story.
Also would anyone like to draw some Fanart for the story. Anyone who does will be credited in the story and it may help me to think of new story ideas.
