'Thoughts'
"Talking"
No Super Saiyan 3 Gohan
Chapter 1: The End
Broken and bruised, Earth's last hope was standing on Supreme Kai's planet with arms raised above.
'Just a little more...please...' Goku pushed on further, beyond his limits in his power depleted state.
'If I fail...No! I don't have the luxury to fail!' Goku shook the thought and concentrated. He could feel all the energy that was getting collected from the people on Earth...but also the feeling of dizziness. Goku started to sway back and forth.
'You better not sleep Kakarot!' The angry and desperate voice of the Saiyan prince was heard in Goku's head but it didn't do any good as Goku continued to lose control of his body.
At the Lookout they all heard Vegeta as he distracted Kid Buu from Goku to allow the latter some window to charge up.
"Oh no! Goku's getting exhausted!" The panicked voice of Piccolo came from behind the rest of the Z-Fighters which caused them all to panic.
"What are we going to do if Goku fail?" Supreme Kai asked panicking at the thought of witnessing another slaughter by Majin Buu.
Krillin spoke up from his wife's and daughter's side "This is Goku we are talking about! He is a hard nut to crack! I am sure he will pull through this...right?" Krillin reassured the others although he was trying to reassure himself.
"I agree! Goku is the best!" Tien joined to calm the others as did Chiaotzu.
"I know Goku will be back!" Chi-Chi roared out enthusiastically followed by the others.
"Yeah! Since Dad can hold the freak enough so that Goku can finish it!" Trunks piped in.
"Yeah! Krillin's right! Daddy can beat this thing! Right Bro?" Goten tugged his elder brother's pant causing Gohan to look down and give Goten a smile and was about to say something but was rudely interrupted by the voice of Vegeta.
'Kakarot is on his knees! He's losing it!' Vegeta for the first time cried out causing all the people in the Lookout to freeze in shock and fear. The optimism gone...
They heard Vegeta trying to raise Goku while getting pummeled by Buu. 'Kakarot you third class fool! You better get the hell up and fire that thing! We both have harpy mates and bratty offsprings to return to!'
Bulma was on her knees as fresh tears started to roll out from her eyes, Trunks upon seeing this went and hugged his mother. Goten seeing his mother in a similar state went and did the same.
Soon enough they could hear the grunts and curses of Vegeta who was unable to fight anymore 'K...kak...Kakarot... Get... U..up' Vegeta tried as he was on the ground, flat on his stomach with Buu stomping on his back with a bored look.
'Spiky man boring! No fun! Buu hit other spiky man sleeping.' They heard at the Lookout, clearly knowing who the other 'spiky man' Buu was talking about.
By now everyone was huddled together, everyone holding each other on the ground. Even 18 was there with the crying women while she held her daughter and husband close. The only exception for this were Piccolo, Dende, Kibito, Mr. Popo and Korrin.
But unknown to them, a demi-saiyan in orange gi was standing a little away with clenched fists.
Yet again the feeling of powerlessness surged over Gohan as he watched his family cry. 'If only I were a little stronger...' The feeling of self hatred once again came over as he would have to watch his loved ones die.
Father. The thought brought him to a realization that, his father never was there in his life as a constant support. Why is that? 'It's because I let him get killed all the time.'
Memories of the first encounter with Raditz where his father died for the first time came over. 'All because I stood in the way.'
His eyes drifted to Piccolo and the fight with Nappa came where Piccolo sacrificed for him and all he could do was launch one attack that didn't even hit the giant.
His eyes then drifted off to his mother. Although a bit forceful, she only wanted her son to have a happy future. 'And in return I destroyed hers...' The memory of Goku finally returning from space after an year only to be sick with a heart virus and then waking up only to train him. And in the end, due to his ignorance... Cell took away her husband. And now this.
Goten. His brother's name brought another set of memories. The seven years where the child never knew who his father was. Why? 'Because I killed our father!' And when Goku came back to life he promised himself that; not a single day will his litle brother live without his father.
'Pathetic! I can't even keep a promise to myself! Why am I such a pathetic bastard!' Rage was building up at an alarming rate in the Saiyan child as his eyes flicked between teal and dark.
Finally a decision was made 'No...too many times I let others sacrifice their lives for me...no more...'
"Ahhhhhh" The bottled self loathing, guilt, fear, and anger poured out and the sudden outburst caused everyone to look at the demi-saiyan in astonishment as Gohan from his base form jumped into his second ascension.
Supreme Kai took a step backward from the intense force that came from the transformation.
"Gohan!" Piccolo's and the other's calling his name fell on deaf ears as Gohan continued to roar and power up.
The Lookout shook violently, Supreme Kai watched in amazement as Gohan's power drastically increased. 'Will he be...' Not wanting to get his hopes up Supreme Kai continued to observe, to see how far will Gohan go.
Goten and Chi-Chi yelled out his name but didn't make any difference as Gohan continued. His eyes showed the whites as everyone watched, once again, doubled over in shock as Gohan's muscles started to bulge and hair started to get spikier
Gohan bent over a moment before raising to his full height with a roar. Everyone watched in complete awe at the figure standing in front of them, gone was the emotional boy who cared about everyone and gone were the eyes that were the window to his pure soul. Now in his place stood a man who had cold teal eyes, and lips in a tight line with a frown.
"Gohan?" Goten called between his sobs. For a moment everyone saw the sad smile that went over Gohan's features as he looked at Goten.
"Live on Goten..." The words were a whisper that everyone heard but didn't understand until Gohan disappeared.
"NOOO!" Chi-Chi exclaimed before fainting.
"Supreme Kai? What happened to Gohan?" Piccolo roared out at the Kai who slightly flinched but didn't turn away.
"He used Instantaneous Movement to teleport to Buu." Supreme Kai answered with shock.
"When did you teach him that?" Piccolo questioned raising Kai by his collor.
"I didn't! It might have been the transformation that jumped the abilities the old Kai gave him." Supreme Kai spoke as he dislodged from Piccolo's grip, the latter being satisfied by the answer only.
The Namekian didn't waste anymore time as he went over to the crowd. "Listen up! Gohan went to fight Buu!"
"What?"
"Impossible!"
"My baby!"
"Gohan!"
"Big bro!"
Cries erupted but Piccolo continued "We have to help him! Who all are coming with me?" Piccolo shouted out to which
"I will come!" Chi-Chi came forth followed by Goten and Trunks, Android 18, Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, Chiaotzu and Bulma.
"But how are we going to get there?" Yamcha asked the Namekian who turned to Supreme Kai.
"He's going to take us." Piccolo stated but Supreme Kai shook his head negatively.
Chi-Chi rushed forward to attack Supreme Kai but 18 and Bulma held her back. "Why you son of a bitch! My baby is there fighting that freak for you and you won't help..." Chi-Chi was pulled behind by the Ox King who gently hugged his daughter.
"Look Supreme Kai...we are not asking you to fight along us although it will be appreciated if you did...all we want is for you to take us to the planet. Please!" Surprisingly it was 18 and she didn't have an ounce of sarcasm in her voice.
"You don't have the right to order-" Kibito was silenced by Supreme Kai raising his arm.
"It is not that I do not wish to help...it is because we will only get in his way." Supreme Kai spoke solemnly.
"What? He needs all help that he can get!" Piccolo lost his cool as he yelled at Supreme Kai much to Kibito's displeasure.
"You are mistaken...Gohan's transformation is based on his emotions unlike Goku's. The ki it emitted was something far more stronger than Goku's transfrmation...though Buu still stand...all we can do is stay out of the way and hope..."
"What if Gohan exhaust himself like daddy?" Goten questioned.
"Let's...not think of a situation like that.." Yet again the Supreme Kai bowed his head in shame of not being powerful even though he is an entity.
.
.
.
Kid Buu finally got really bored with Vegeta and decided to follow what he said before, but not before finishing of his plaything on the ground. Buu kicked Vegeta over to his back and placed his right foot on the Saiyan Prince's chest and started stomping slowly, but that was enough for Vegeta to cough out blood.
When Buu stopped stomping him and slowly raised his fingerless arm in his direction, Vegeta knew "Bul..Bulma...if...yo..you can..hear..t..this.. I am sorry for the way ahhh treated..y..yo..you and o..o..our son..Trunks! I am sorry! I...I.." Gone was the prideful voice. In its place was a shaky weak voice...full of regret. A tear rolled out as he closed his eyes, awaiting the inevitable.
.
.
.
At the Lookout, Bulma was in tears as she hugged her son after hearing her husband's voice. The others sat useless after they heard Vegeta's voice, all they could only look at her with sympathy.
Suddenly a golden light appeared out of nowhere, next to the group. Out came the short being known as Baba on her newly made crystal ball.
Upon seeing the witch, Bulma ran over and caught the small old woman's shoulder and pleaded with a tear stricken face "Please Baba! Show me Vegeta!"
Everyones heart went out to the young woman as she begged, the genius scientist Bulma Briefs begged. The lavender haired woman didn't care about any of that.
"Please Baba show us our husbands!" Chi-Chi too went on her knees in front of the old woman.
Everyone waited for a few seconds which seemed like eternity to the group. But when the answer came in the form of a shake...they felt eternity was better.
Boiling with rage Piccolo questioned "Why not?"
"To see in the world of Kai's...I need the permission of the Supreme Ka-" Baba was cut off by a voice from the side.
"Granted! Now show us!"
Baba was was dumbstruck to see a small purple alien being the cause of her interruption. Although she didn't care about launching a fit at the Supreme Kai, she knew this was not the time. So she got off of the ball and placed her hands on it while chanting the spells needed.
It took about a minute but everyone expected one thing. They were going to see the corpse of the two Saiyans... but what they didn't expect was; instead of the short pink evil being, there stood a tall lean figure with golden spikes.
And the second thing that they didn't expect was the words came from his mouth.
'Awe...Vegeta you big lug...I always knew, under that spiky haired evilness and the armor was a squishy muffin...' The voice cooed.
.
.
.
Everyone was subsequently stunned at the Lookout, there stood, tall and proud, the transformed Gohan who was momentarily forgotten and when Baba changed the scene, they saw Majin Buu lying motionless on a crater a mile away.
"Yeah! Big Bro's there! See Trunks! He saved Mr. Vegeta! He's gonna beat Buu up!" Goten exclaimed happily.
"Go Gohan!" Trunks wiped his tears off and he too jumped up in happiness.
"Gohan..." Chi-Chi started sobbing again after seeing her son, yet again in a battle field.
Bulma passed out due to relief and everyone else started getting some hope...except two, who did not want to get theirs up; Supreme Kai and Kibito as they nervously waited to see what will happen next.
.
.
.
At Planet Kai Vegeta's eyes shot open in shock. The voice didn't belong to Majin Buu, it was familiar but he couldn't place it...that was until he focused on the figure looking down at him and mocking him.
"Kak...Ka..Kakarot?" Vegeta's cracked voice asked.
"On great! Now you too have confused yourself between me and dad! Anyway hold on! I will end this..." Gohan spoke, trying to lighten the injured warrior before standing up with an emotionless face and looking in the direction he sent Buu and soon enough he saw a pink object flying towards him at high speed.
Buu landed few yards away and gave a maniacal laughter "Her Her Hi Hi Buu destroy new Spike hair!" With that Buu launched himself at Gohan in a pink blur.
Gohan didn't wait anymore as he met Buu's fist halfway across. The resulting wave of fist on fist collision made a huge crater, but it didn't stop there as blows were exchanged at an alarming rate with neither of the two fighters showing any signs of damage or tiredness. Majin Buu was running on the vast energy that he possessed...but Gohan was running purely on rage. Controlled rage.
Back at the Lookout, everyone was looking at the ball in bewilderment at the fight that was taking place. Never in a million years did anyone think Gohan will be able to do what he was doing right now after his seven years of absence in training, sure the Old Kai gave him power, but it lost it's effect after Buu adapted to a higher power, but this was beyond what someone could bestow upon. Most of them thought as they saw Gohan go toe to toe with Majin Buu.
Hours seemed to pass as Vegeta was on his elbows as he looked at the explosions that were making the planet tremble. He then glanced back at Goku, who was on the same position he was before, and started to crawl towards latter.
After a good twenty minutes of crawl, Vegeta was next to Goku "Kakarot you idiot! Wake up!" And gave him a slap with the reminder of his strength but no reactions came as Goku sat there still.
"Kakarot! Weak moron! Wake up!" Still no response.
Vegeta decided to give one more shot "If you don't finish that bomb your son is going to die fighting that freak!" Vegeta yelled out the last part and fell unconscious next to Goku.
However..this got his attention. "My son.." Goku murmured out as suddenly his eyes shot open.
"Oh no Gohan! What is he doing here! He's going to-"
'Goku! You are awake! Quickly! You have to complete the Super Spirit Bomb!' Supreme Kai yelled in his head.
"B...Buu..but Gohan?" He muttered.
'He will be fine Goku. He is now equal in strength with Majin Buu if not more...but he won't last much more...its already been hours! Your only chance is to finish this quickly!' Supreme Kai spoke.
"But Supreme Kai... I don't have enough energy to stand...let alone do this..." Goku was right as Supreme Kai could feel Goku once again slipping into unconscious. Supreme Kai then turned towards the fight... he thought quickly and an idea popped up.
'Goku? The bomb is still above you right?'
"Yeah..." Goku confirmed weakly
'Then I have a plan! Wait for my signal!'
.
.
.
With Buu and Gohan things were on the same level as Gohan would blast Buu to oblivion but he reforms and counters the Saiyan. But Gohan knew...even with this power he is still unable to go on forever...and he knew and took every chance to kill Buu but none of those worked.
'Gohan! Hear me! I am the Supreme Kai. You have to finish this quickly!'
"What do you think I am doing then?" Gohan asked sarcastically at which Buu got a confused look which Gohan took advantage and pulled off a roundhouse kick and flew the pink creature away.
'Gohan! The only chance we have is the Super Spirit Bomb which your father made.'
"Then why hasn't he launched it yet?" The emotional swing caused by the transformation asked annoyed.
'He doesn't have much strength!' By now Buu was back with full power causing Gohan to back away.
"Then what do you suggest?" Somewhat regaining control over his emotions Gohan asked.
'You have to do it...but...' Supreme Kai suggested but didn't complete it.
"But what?" Gohan asked still focused on the fight he was in.
'Someone who hasn't been trained to harness external energy..when they use it at this level... the outcome will be unknown... But whatever your thinking, you better think fast. If Goku renders unconscious...then its all over...' Supreme Kai's voice was solemn and Gohan knew there was no other way.
Now Gohan was fighting two battles...but at the faces that appeared which belonged to Goten and his mother. He knew what he had to do. 'This is my chance..to make up for those years of pain I caused every one.'
Within the next second Supreme Kai's voice reentered his head. 'Have you decided Gohan? We don't have much time.'
A few seconds only the sounds of battle could be heard before a smirk came over Gohan's face that caused Majin Buu to once again let his guard down and that was all Gohan needed as he said "Are you kidding me? This was the moment I waited for!" Gohan delivered a blow to Buu's stomach which caused him to bent over and fly into the air.
Gohan didn't waste anymore time as he brought his hands to the side.
"Ka...me...ha...me...HAA! The wave took Majin Buu to a considerable distance which will give Gohan a window.
'Quickly! Fly over to Goku!' Supreme Kai said but was surprised when Gohan used Instantaneous Movement but didn't pry as he knew this was not the time.
Upon reaching, Gohan kneeled on one knee and held his barely conscious father. "Dad! It's me...Gohan!"
Goku slowly opened his eyes and smiled. "Gohan? Ar we both dead?"
Gohan sweat dropped but didn't push it. "You have to do what Supreme Kai is going to tell you okay?" his father nodded.
Gohan knew telling Goku about what will happen won't be good so he played it safe 'Goku...hold Gohan's hands and let all the energy you harnessed to Gohan! We don't have much time! Buu is already reforming.
Goku ignored his instincts that screamed not to do it but believing Supreme Kai he did so without knowing the result. The pure white energy surged into Gohan at constant pace.
'Wow...this power... Its overwhelming... But I can't toy around anymore... I won't make another Cell games.' Then he looked at his father who was now unconscious and sleeping like a baby. He kissed his father's forehead and walked towards the direction Buu was.
But when he walked the energy started to overwhelm him...
'Gohan its too much! You have to dispose the energy or you will be vaporized along with your soul!' Supreme Kai exclaimed realizing his mistake.
"What will happen to me?" Gohan asked coolly.
'It's like a bomb-' Supreme Kai was cut off of explaining by Gohan's question
"Is it enough to take Buu with me?"
'You don't understand! Your soul-'
"Is. It. Enough?"
Supreme Kai answered "Yes..."
Gohan looked behind to where his father and Vegeta laid unconscious. Then the image of his family and friends came. "This is a chance I have to take!" With that he walked towards where Buu was, savoring the last moments of his life.
"Sleep, my father. For the dawn is still dark..." Tears started to fall down at the happy memories that he enjoyed.
"Sleep, my mother. For it is my duty to protect..."
"Sleep, my brother and let your dreams be sweet..."
"Sleep, my friends. For it was an honor fighting along with you..."
"Sleep my loved ones for I will be awake and won't allow danger to come to you..."
"But please remember me..."
Buu was flying in his direction with a scowl on his sadistic features which caused Gohan to smirk before teleporting right in front of Buu and locking him in a bear hug and flying towards the sky at top speed.
Buu thrashed back and forth but Gohan held on as he crossed the stratosphere and left the planet's atmosphere and entered space.
As Gohan saw he had taken Buu far away from the planet, he closed his eyes and a smile came over even when Buu was still struggling in his hug. He could feel the energy getting unstable inside his body. 'This is it...goodbye everyone...'
Minutes passed and he was having the side effects of holding breath, but Buu was still struggling. The strange thing was, he felt the power stabilize inside him. 'That's... I'm..impossible!' He could feel himself getting weaker due to the lack of oxygen but Buu was in the same strength.
That's when Buu succeeded in getting off. With a knee to Gohan's stomach, the later was forced to release the air and take in another...'Wait... I can breath?' Gohan's eyes widened as he saw white clouds and blue sky.
"NO NO NO!" He screamed when he saw Buu smirking at him.
'I can't let him' the rage once again fueled him but this time it was backed up by the enormous energy he acquired from the people on Earth. And once again teleporting in front of Buu and kicked him down, toward the Earth and raised his arms above his head and in a matter of seconds. The same ball of white energy formed above his head.
When Buu finally balanced himself, his eyes widened at the sight of Gohan launching the huge ball of energy.
After he launched Gohan let out a breath as Buu wasn't dodge it. 'Its over...' Gohan thought with a smile. Just when he was about to turn back, the Super Spirit Bomb started to get pushed back and Majin Buu's ki started to fluctuate rapidly. Behind the Super Spirit Bomb, Buu was pushing it back.
"I won't let you Buu!" Gohan roared before bringing his hands to the side. The Spirit bomb was making its way back rapidly.
"Ka..."
"Me..."
"Ha..."
"Me...
"HA!" with that, Gohan unleashed all the energy in one go and push the Super Spirit Bomb back onto Buu. The majority of the blast took out Buu and destroyed him atomically. But a minute part escaped towards Earth without Gohan Noticing it.
...
Metropolis.
Lois Lane was on her way out of Daily Planet, her facial features was that of an annoyed lioness. 'I can't believe he didn't show up yesterday!'
The reason was because Super...
"Ahhh!" Screams erupted as everyone rushed outside
"Everybody outside! It's an Earthquake!"
Soon enough, everyone was out side. After an hour or so the big screen attached to the large buildings came to life showing the footage of Hiroshima and Nagasaki after they were bombed.
"Dude! Why the hell are the showing Japs?" A teenager asked his friend who shook his head.
Then on the side of the screen, the lady that reads the news came "This is the live footage of what happened to the South of Metropolis and seven mile perimeter outside the city. Due to the use of an extremely powerful weapon not much human remains were recovered...
...the Justice League has taken the culprit in. And the latest report says he will be questioned and presented to the Supreme Court of the United States in Washington DC on Monday, August 4th 2012, this has is the second time that America faces a worser 9/11..."
