Deep in the glowing aqua blue ray's of the skies in the other world, Gohan sat upon a ki manifested platform; watching over the everyday happenings. He had been here for nearly ten thousand years, making him almost 10,098 years old. His life once he got here hadn't been the greatest, considering he had fought for nearly 2,000 years against the villains that escaped hell. Ever since then, for the last 1,500 years, Gohan had been watching over this place as he trained, ate, and every other thing that he happened to do.
His first 2,300 years here were fine, but soon after that mark, Videl had been killed by the first escapee of hell, before the actual barrier fell a few hundred years later. Pan met up with her husband sometime after the first 30 years and they were off somewhere in the huge place. Goku and Vegeta jr had been turned "evil" and were sent to hell before they could have kids, so he had no more business on the outside world anymore.
Gohan had just flown over towards one of his many houses and was just about ready to pull out a 'small' snack from the 'fridge when there was a knock upon his door. Growling at the interruption Gohan walked over to the red door and pulled it open, "What?"
His question, simple enough, was said with enough anger that the secretary, apparently King Yenma's, shivered and back up a bit. "I'm sorry to disturb you sir, but Lord Yenma wishes you to be in his presence.", spoke the little gnome looking bug-alien-man.
Sighing Gohan smiled and nodded, "Fine, just tell him I will once I fill my stomach, alright?" The gnome creature nodded before flying off down into the yellow clouds of other world, towards the check-in station.
Going back inside, Gohan pulled out a large ham, over 1,000 times the size of a normal one, and pulled it over to the large cooking pit, before cutting it up into five pieces and setting them inside of said pit. Holding his hand out, Gohan shot a very low energy ki blast into the ignition chamber in the center of the pit, lighting it.
After eating, Gohan took off towards the check in station in a blast of white energy, and a silver aura. His speed was so great that the clouds themselves were obliterated as he passed them. Many of the fighters in otherworld tensed before relaxing; realizing who it was.
In the check-in station
King Yenma sighed as he filled out the paper work for yet another soul that was entering other world. 'Why can't we make clones of ourselves like on that damnable show, Naruto?', Yenma thought as he glanced up and saw at least another three hundred people to go. He shook himself as he noticed he was nodding off, "Ok, next!" He bellowed as he pulled another piece of paper out and began to question the soul.
"Yenma!", a voice cried out. It was a deep voice that seemed like a mix of Vegeta, Gohan, and Shenron, equally blended. As he turned his attention towards the offending name caller, he took in the man's appearance.
He stood a striking 6' 5'' and had a very angular, handsome face. His eyes were as black as coal, with a little red ring around the outside of them. His black hair fell to just a few inches above his waist, but was spiky as hell. His left ear was pierced three times and his right was pierced four, the last being a chain with a seven star black dragon ball hanging from the chain. He had a large muscle mass, almost to the point that a super Saiyan 2 would have the same mass. He wore a black, training gi, with black jeans that had a chain coming from his front pocket, down to his mid thigh, and onto a belt loop just above his left rear pocket. His outfit was covered by a black sleeved and shoulder padded cape (1) similar to that of the Namekian warrior Piccolo wore.
finished looking at the man, he cleared his throat before speaking, "Gohan, the Kais have been watching the universe and soon, a warrior of a race of time-travelers will come to your adult period; before you fought Majin Buu...however, we do not know of it's alliance yet, and so far...you are not strong enough to take it...although I have not felt your power, nor have the kais felt all of it, that is not the problem...it matters not how strong you are, as they can easily travel time from a moment before they're death and come back from another ten thousand years of training in an instant...you need allies and more importantly, you need the speed to beat time itself!"
Gohan blinked a few times and then stroked his chin, "How could I possibly get that fast and strong enough to destroy this "time warrior" if need be?" Yenma stared at man for a few moments before he finally took a breathe and spoke,"Gohan...the kai's have taken a vote, and have decided that...to be as effective as you need to be, that you will be sent back in time and as a gift for all the help you have given everyone...become a time warrior as well...the first demi-saiyan time walker." Yenma smiled as Gohan sat there for a few moments and finally sighed, "Alright, but I must request some things before I go...when it that I leave is?" Yenma thought for a minute, before remembering, "You will leave in five hours, I don't know how far back you will go; only supreme kai knows that.."
Nodding, Gohan thanked Yenma before going back towards his house, where he began to think on all the things he had learned today. "So...there is a time warrior, whose alliance and motives are unknown. I am slightly under him in strength, but that doesn't matter...I need to get my speed to a point that I can actually cross time without using abilities...now...how do I get THAT fast?" Gohan sat in thought for a few minutes, before he growled in frustration, "DAMNIT!"
As the hours passed, Gohan began to think over his long life so far, how everything had turned out, how he still felt bad for his father's death against cell, and everything that led up to that specific time. He remembered his high school years, and how utterly stupid he looked as 'Great saiyaman!"..'How the HELL did I come up with THAT anyways?', he asked himself.
Soon however, his thoughts were interrupted by a knock on his door. Sighing and getting up, Gohan walked over towards the door and pulled it open, and smiled, seeing Kabito Kai at his door, "Hello Gohan, it is time to head towards the rune chamber." Gohan nodded and followed Kabito Kai. Shortly after launching off of the floating house's porch, they easily arrived at their destination in a few seconds.
As they floated over the ground, Gohan observed the area. It looked like an ancient palace once stood; pillars and pieces of wall were evidence of that. In the center, the only room with a full circular wall, he could see several beings; all of which he assumed would be the kais. As he and Kabito Kai descended into the roofless circular room Gohan noticed all the eyes were drawn towards him. When he landed, he gave a small smile and nodded,"Alright, so what is going to happen here lord Kais?",Gohan asked as he looked around the room.
Grand kai turned towards Gohan and smiled, "Well Gohan, we are going to send you to the past, bluntly speaking...although I'm sure you've heard that, right?" Gohan smirked and nodded, "Yes Grand Kai, however, I want to know exactly what I can and cannot do, that way I will not do anything I might regret."
Grand kai nodded and motioned for Kabito to advance toward their position. When Kabito had arrived, Grand Kai began speaking, "As I am sure King Yenma informed you, you will have the abilities, and a miniscule amount of their genes inside of you. The thing about these Time Warriors is that...aside from the ice-jins, they are the only other race capable of breathing in outer space." Kabito Kai took over from there, "In addition, you will be able to travel time in the place you are at during the time...take, for example, you wanted to..I don't know, see what happened to your father as a child, or maybe see how the Namekians prospered; you would have to be on or around Namek and change back time for that, understand?" Gohan nodded and smiled, "Yes, indeed I do, so what might I not do?", asked Gohan, with a raised eyebrow. "You are free to change the past as you wish, there is no limit...Just don't let the universe fall towards the dark side." spoke Grand Kai.
Gohan nodded and walked forward, "Yes, I understand...What will be the limit of my power?" Grand kai smiled, and stroked his beard, before nodding, "In a rough estimate, your maximum power will be decreased by 4 times, however, you can grow more power as you train, although at your young age...assuming you stay on earth, and in a time when you are alive, your power gain age will be substantially decreased." Spoke the old kai, as he looked into the Saiyan's eyes.
King Kai stepped forward and spoke in his bubbly voice,"Gohan, we are ready to initiate the time reverse spell. We must hurry, if we miss out on the opportunity; it will take years for us to re-accumulate all the ki needed to pull this off!" He finished, waving his hands for emphasis. Gohan nodded, and walked over into the middle of the runes and stood straight, seeming at attention. Grand Kai walked back towards his place and smiled,"ALRIGHT!!! It is time, let us begin the ritual!" One by one, the kai's hands were covered by a different colored glow, as they began chanting in a language not even Gohan knew.
Fifteen minutes later, as the chanting got faster and more complex, Gohan began feeling his ki get affected. He suddenly felt as if he were shrinking ever so slightly, and that his ki was suddenly decreasing. As he opened his eyes, he saw his view becoming foggy, and dark. Suddenly; he felt a light pain all over his body. However, he soon felt a boiling pain within his veins, and his bones cracked painfully and audibly. It took all his will power not to scream.
In an instant, all the pain in his body ceased and he felt a metallic thunk as his head collided with metal. As he opened his eyes he noticed he was inside of a spherical object. Looking around; he noticed a panel to his left, and on his left was a brown seat. Looking up however, he noticed a red window, and as his eyes focused, he realized he could see a rather bulky Saiyan with long black hair sporting a brown suit of Saiyan armor. One word came to his mind, Raditz!
(1)- Think of a trench coat and piccolo's cape thing, the name of it escapes me, mix.
Alright, Here it is, the first chapter of DBZ:TOT! I set this up as it was one of many things on my mind keeping me from getting back to my Naruto story; Project Cerberus! I hope you all enjoyed this so far. Now, I will put the PL's (power levels) in the chapters that have any sort of fighting. I have changed the original PL's slightly, but not too drastically. This story WILL have several twists and turns, but they will PROBABLY not happen until the Android Saga and upwards. Please R&R
