Chapter 1
Age 766 (1 year before the Androids arrive)
In the beautiful 439 East District, surrounded by the nature and wildlife in the mountains, we find our young warrior Son Gohan waking up for breakfast at the Son residence.
''Gosh, why does my head hurt so much? These headaches have been coming quite frequently'' Gohan thought in worry. He got up from his bed and went down the hall to the bathroom, passing by his father, Son Goku. ''Morning son! How are you!'' Goku greeted his son with the usual Son grin and cheerful voice. Gohan smiled, always relieved to hear that cheerful voice, like a light in the dark. ''Good morning daddy! Another training day for the androids?'' he asked his father. ''You bet! Now get ready, breakfast will be ready soon, Kami knows we shouldn't keep Chichi waiting too long.'' Goku said with a shudder. Gohan chuckled and went to the bathroom.
He closed the door behind him and went up to the sink to brush his teeth. As he was applying the toothpaste he suddenly froze and dropped the toothbrush. His vision started fading in and out, loosing his grip on the sink. His eyes started to close, and the last thing he saw was his father rushing over to him as he felt his ki spike up and down.
Gohan looked around the empty space and frowned. ''Where am I? I was just in the bathroom when I felt weird. Last thing I saw was dad. Am I at the hospital?'' he thought to himself. ''Gohan! Or me, or I don't know this whole thing is confusing. You! Come here!'' he heard an oddly familiar voice shout to him. ''Who's there? Where am I`?'' Gohan shouted back in worry. He couldn't remember any place that looked like this. ''Just turn around'' the voice said, this time nearer and more calmly. What he saw shocked him, another Gohan looking back at him with a Vegeta like smirk that sent chills down his spine, remembering their encounter on Namek. He had a bad feeling but wanted to know what was going on. ''Uh, ehm, is that me? I guess we're in our mind since I can't seem to figure out where we are.'' Gohan said to the other him in awe.
''Always the smart one. Yeah… it's pretty weird, but let's go somewhere else and talk.'' The other Gohan said, bemused. With a snap of his fingers, the whole scenery changed to resemble the 439 East District. Gohan looked around in fascination, he had read about certain people being able to meditate and create an inner dreamscape within themselves. Maybe that was why Mr. Piccolo meditated so much. ''Alright sit down, this will be a lot to take in'' the other Gohan told him. Sitting down on the grass, both stared at each other.
''Is this why I've been having headaches often nowadays? There's been a feeling as if something in the back of my head was pulsing.''Gohan asked the other him. ''Yeah sorry about that, I've been trying to contact you for a while now. But let me explain what is going on Gohan. This may sound weird to you, but I am the saiyan side of Gohan. You are the human part of us. Don't worry, I'm not evil or anything like that, I'm just your saiyan side. Though I do possess certain traits of our saiyan blood, like our primal instinct and saiyan pride.'' Gohan explained. (A/N: ''Gohan'' is the saiyan side, ''Gohan'' is the human side.)
Gohan stared at him in shock and bewilderment. He couldn't wrap his head around it. ''Wha..what? How? Why? How are we talking to each other? Am I Bipolar?!'' Gohan rambled, worried about his mental health. Gohan stared at him, chuckling. ''No, calm down. You aren't bipolar. The reason we can speak to each other is because after the whole Raditz kidnapping thing and when we headbutted him in the chest, something inside of us happened. Our conscience somehow must have split, thus separating the human and saiyan side of us. I've been trying to call you here, so we can sort this out.'' Gohan explained to him as to calm down his other self. Gohan stared at himself for a long time, the other him staring back just as much. Eventually Gohan spoke up. ''How is this even possible… You know what, forget it. With everything that has happened, this doesn't even sound that impossible anymore. So, what Is it that you want to sort out?'' Gohan asked him, curious as to what he might suggest.
''Glad you're taking this good. Alright look, this might sound odd, but we need to fuse back together, to one whole being again. Our power is not at full, and we are progressing much slower than we should. What do you say?'' Gohan explained to him. Gohan's eyes widened at the suggestion, but a thought crept to his head. ''If we fuse, does that mean that one of us will take control? Will I still be able to think on my own?'' he asked him worriedly. The thought intrigued him, fusing with himself to become whole again. ''As I said, don't worry. When we fuse, our mind and body will merge with one another. There may be some physical changed, like increased muscle mass and strength, then there is the mental aspect. You may experience more saiyan like instincts, like pride and what not. We fuse into one being, the original us. No one controls the other, we go back to how we were.'' Gohan tried explaining, to make him understand more. Gohan started nodding slowly and rose up from where he was sitting. ''Alright. I think we should do this. Incase something goes wrong and Dad doesn't make it through the virus… we should be prepared. We're going to need all the strength we can muster.'' Gohan finally accepted.
''Alright! That's what we like to hear!'' Gohan answered back with a genuine, non saiyan smile. After all, he was still a Son, no matter what blood. He rose up from the grass as well and extended his hand out to Gohan. ''No going back now. Are you ready?'' Gohan asked the other him. Gohan nodded with a determined face and extended his own hand to himself also. The two looked at each other for the last time and shook hands. ''Alright, I think if we just focus our mind and body we should be able to- WOAH!'' Gohan was abruptly cut off from a bright light radiating from their hands. The two looked at each other as if both knew what was happening.
The light grew bigger and soon engulfed them both. After what seemed like years, the two finally merged into a single entity. The real Gohan. He slowly opened his eyes to look at the familiar face of Goku and Chichi. He looked around and saw the living room, remembering what happened in his ''dreamscape''. ''Chichi! He's awake! Son, that was quite a scare you gave your mother and I. What happened? You were out of it for like half an hour!'' Goku softly spoke to his son, removing the damp cloth from his forehead. ''Oh Goku… Maybe I've been pushing him too hard on his studies.'' Chichi murmured lowly before looking down at her son. ''How are you feeling son?'' she asked him.
Gohan looked at his parents, still trying to clear his head. He looked down at himself and saw himself grow 2 inched in height and body width. His eyes widened, now fully believing everything that happened. He looked up at his parents, wide eyed. ''Father! Mother!'' he exclaimed, jumping up to hug his parents. Their eyes widened, but eventually hugged him back. ''I'm sorry for scaring you all. I guess I just needed a break. But I feel amazing now! Father let's go train!'' Gohan said, now standing up and pumping his fist in the air excitedly. Goku chuckled, but Chichi did not look so amused. ''No way young man! You need some rest. You can train tomorrow. Now, I made you all breakfast and I'm not going to let it go to waste. Go get some breakfast and later rest.'' Chichi told Gohan, immediately dampening his fighting mood. Gohan looked up at his mother, as if pleading to go train. ''Gotta say Gohan, I think I agree with your mom. You should rest up today, we'll train later. Now, why don't we go eat breakfast before it becomes too cold?'' Goku agreed, stomach rumbling at the thought of delicious breakfast made by his mate, Chichi. Gohan's stomach soon rumbled as if agreeing with them. ''Alright… let's go eat. I guess I could meditate later.'' Gohan said in defeat. The Son family went to the kitchen, sat down and waited for the food to be set. When Chichi finished laying out the food, she quickly snatched herself two plates before her husband and son started wolfing down their foods.
With breakfast done and Piccolo arriving for training, Goku and Piccolo headed out for the mountains to get some training done. ''Don't worry Gohan, you'll be able to train later.'' Piccolo assured Gohan before taking off. Gohan sighed and went up to his room to relax. He sat on his bed when suddenly a thought came to him. What if he tried going into his dreamscape? Would he see anyone else? With that thought he sat down in a lotus position and tried meditating. After a while he blacked out and opened his eyes to see the familiar green mountain hills resembling his home. He looked around and couldn't feel or hear anyone else. ''Huh, I guess it's just me then'' Gohan said to himself. He looked around and saw a cave deep in a mountain. He decided to explore it and flew up to it. He looked around the cave before entering it. He didn't walk far before he saw a door infront of the entrance. ''What's this?'' he thought to himself. The door was colored Gold and had a number 1 on it. He tried opening the door, but it wouldn't budge. He tried opening it harder, and finally started punching it. When it looked like the door was ready to burst open, his eyes suddenly opened wide. ''What was that…'' he thought to himself. He looked towards his window and heard an odd but familiar noise. He saw someone he hadn't seen in a while.
''Icarus!'' Gohan shouted out loud, smiling widely.
