Chapter 1: Gohan's Subconscious.
{This is it, I'm done for} Gohan thought to him self as he looked straight into Buu's eyes. Buu was only moments away from crushing his windpipe and ending his life. Gohan knew he was done for after he felt the all too familiar pain from a broken neck. {Why won't he just end it as stop toying with me?} Gohan thought, {he knows I am no match for him any more.} {If only Gotenks would have stayed out of the fight} was Gohan's last conscious thought.
Buu felt Gohan lose consciousness, but he felt something else to, as if Gohan's spirit wasn't even there anymore. Buu brought Gohan closer to him and held his chest up to his ear. {Odd, he still has a heart beat. What is going on?} Buu though. Buu tossed Gohan aside and flew away, he felt the need to hunt down that annoyance Hercule, and finish what his fat, soft- hearted form couldn't.
Gohan opened his eyes and looked around. He found he was in a dark room with what looked like a screen towards, what he guessed, was the front of the area. He slowly stood up, and realized that he had complete use of his body again. {I must have died. But I don't remember checking in with King Yemma, or Buu delivering the final blow} thought Gohan. As if he had said those thoughts aloud, someone behind him spoke up.
"No, Gohan you are not dead, you have just been brought to a place deep inside of yourself, a place you thought to be long gone." The Voice said.
"Who are you? Show yourself." Gohan demanded.
As the owner of the voice slowly came out of the shadows, Gohan dropped into a defensive stance. What Gohan saw next came a shock to him. It was Videl.
"Videl? How did you get here?" Gohan was so happy that it took everything he had to hold back and not crush her in a bear hug.
"Sorry to disappoint you Gohan, but I am not the one you call Videl." The Voice replied, "I mearly took this form because it seemed to be one that you wouldn't feel threatened by."
Gohan's heart sank, and it finally dawned on him that what Goten had said was true, his angel, Videl, had been killed. "Please could you find some other way to show yourself to me?" Gohan pleaded.
The Voice understood the pain and sorrow Gohan had in his voice, and chose a different form. Gohan saw a large cloud of smoke appear, and when it had disappeared a small girl was in Videl's place. {Something about that girl seems so familiar to me} Gohan thought.
The Voice picked up on Gohan's thought, "You will realize shortly why I seem so familiar to you. But first I want to show you something."
The Voice turned and walked toward the screen at the front of the room, with Gohan a few feet behind. The Voice noticed how tense Gohan seemed and spoke up, "Don't worry Gohan this is not a trap. I am you, or more specifically a part of you that you wish to forget about."
"Why have you brought me here and what do you want with me?" Gohan asked. "Just have a seat and watch what I am about to show you." The Voice replied.
Gohan turned toward the screen and watched as the screen lit up and began to show pictures as if it were a movie theatre. The first pictures Gohan saw were of what happened after Gohan had been blow away by the Fat Majin Buu. While Gohan was watching Vegeta's fight against Buu, the Voice spoke up, "This is what happened before you were taken to the Home of the Kai's, some how I am able to show you what was going on while you were unconscious."
The next thing Gohan saw shocked him and he was about to ask if it really happened or if it was just a trick, but before he could even think it he got his answer. "No, Gohan. That was not a trick or something that was made up, Vegeta sacrificed his life to try and protect the family that he loves." The Voice replied.
After Vegeta's destruction the screen went blank, for a moment and began to show him pictures of a time he would rather forget. It was Gohan and Cell's fight, only moments before Cell attempted to self-destruct and destroy the planet. "Please don't show this to me" Gohan pleaded, he knew what was going to happen next.
The Voice ignored him and kept showing his the fight. The next thing Gohan saw was what had been haunting him for the past seven years, his dad teleported away with Cell, and Gohan felt the familiar ki signature of his father vanish without a trace. "Goku did that because he wanted to protect his family, and all of his friends." The Voice told him.
After the picture showed Goku teleporting away and the then younger Gohan slamming his fist into the ground, it showed what happened next. Cell was back and he had just killed the Trunks from the future with one ki blast. Gohan was waiting for what happened next, he knew it all too well. Vegeta saw his son killed by that monster, and flew into a rage. Vegeta charged at Cell without even thinking and was batted away after Cell grew bored with the attack. Before Vegeta could get up, Cell powered up a killing blast and fired it straight at Vegeta. Without hesitation Gohan flew between the blast and Vegeta and took most of the damage, leaving Gohan with out the use of his left arm.
Before the battle continued on the screen, it went blank again. "Why won't you show me the rest of the fight?" Gohan questioned.
"You already know how the battle ended, and I only wanted to show you certain points in the fight" was the Voice's reply.
The screen began to flicker again and this time the picture was of the Lookout and everyone was outside rejoicing in the fact that they though Buu was gone. "This is from when you were training on the Planet of the Kai's, everyone thought that Buu had been sealed away for ever in the Room of Time and Spirit, but as you already know they were wrong." The Voice explained to Gohan.
The next thing the screen showed was a portal opening up and Buu appearing out of no where. Was happened next was what Gohan had been afraid of. Buu turned everyone into chocolate and killed them. Involuntarily Gohan's ki spiked very high after seeing Videl killed. The Voice felt him power up and smiled. "Why did you show me this?" Gohan asked.
"Just so that you can see all of the pain that Buu has caused, and give you more of a reason to fight and not give up and die." The Voice told him.
"But what can I do? I can't move or do anything with my broken neck" Gohan said.
"That is true, but I am not done with you yet." The Voice replied.
"What more do you have to show me?" Gohan questioned.
"Just watch" was the Voice's only reply. The screen began to flicker again and Gohan saw a picture that he couldn't remember. It was of two people in a hospital room, and the woman in the bed was holding a small child. "Don't worry about trying to remember when this is a picture from, it hasn't happened yet." The Voice explained.
As Gohan was watching it was in for the shock of his life. The person that had been blocking the view of the woman in the bed had turned, and Gohan realized that it was him and the person in the bed was Videl.
"What is this?" Gohan asked.
"This is from the future, or the future that is supposed to happen if Buu is destroyed. It is of the birth of you and Videl's child." The Voice explained.
"So, if I can't destroy Buu, then this will never happen?" Gohan asked.
"You are correct. Your child will never be born, and you will never see me again." The Voice replied.
It was then that Gohan notice why the child looked so familiar. She was his child.
Gohan asked the Voice, "Then how can I defeat Buu?"
"It is not up to me to tell you, I was merely here to give you the drive you needed to destroy Buu." After the Voice finished it's sentence it disappeared from sight."
"The what do I do?" Gohan yelled.
"I'll tell you what to do" was the reply Gohan got.
