Saiyan In The Land of Fire

Chapter 1: A Bold Statement

Outside of The Son Residence

"Gohan! Come on out, we're ready!" Chi-Chi Hollered. Gohan came rushing through the house, he was really happy that he was at least gonna get to celebrate his birthday before the Saiyans came. He would be five years old at this point! With all the training Mr. Piccolo gives him, He was confident in his capabilities to come through and beat the Saiyans! It's only natural to celebrate before your life is on the line. Now it was getting dreadful, But Gohan quickly put that behind him, and went and ran as fast as he could. He was so energetic, a trait he inherited from his father.

"Alright, Gohan, Make your wish and blow out the candles!" All exclaimed. Gohan took a while to prepare it. He was trying to make the best wish ever, and to do that, he needed to think, hard. It finally came to him anndddd….

'I wish that I can be able to protect my Family and Friends, even when I'm not here!' Gohan shouted in his head. He blew out the candles and before he knew it, a purple aura engulfed Gohan's whole body! Gohan didn't feel it at first, cause it was so sudden. But after a few seconds, all of Mt. Poazu could hear a certain 5-year-old's screams, screeching louder and louder while the purple aura turned into flames, burning off his skin. Gohan cried out, helpless to the flames that were extending the pain into his legs. He screams out once again, and now people start to help. Even though the only ones there were Tien, Chioatzu, and Chi-Chi, They heard Gohan's screams of agony, and could only hope for the best while they tried to free him.

Everyone grunted and puffed, trying to free the little son boy out of the purple fires grasp, but every time they touched it, it just burned them with all its might. Its fierce flames were enough to melt a finger off if you weren't using KI, which is why Chi-Chi just had to watch… Except only she didn't. She called Bulma.

"Bulma! You need to come quick!" Chi-Chi exclaimed. Bulma almost popped her eardrum cause of Chi-Chi's Screaming.

"Chi-Chi, what's wrong?" Bulma asked, a little irritated.

"It's Gohan! He's in trouble!" Chi-Chi exclaimed. She was worried about her baby boy, and she knew that only Bulma could figure out what was wrong. Bulma was a scientist, a scientist leading the world at that. Chi-Chi was worried about her little boy, and if that wasn't clear enough then you'd have to catch a frying pan in your face.

"C' mon Chi-Chi, Gohan isn't really in trouble. He's one of the few people in the world that can shoot monster lasers from their hands. Now stop playing, and tell me what's wrong." Bulma replied on the phone. Now Chi-Chi was mad. How could Goku put up with this? But then again, Goku had to endure this for way longer than she could, so she guessed that he was a little used to it.

"I'm not kidding Bulma! Gohan is-" Chi-Chi was interrupted when Gohan screamed out in pain as the wind from the flames were raging, tearing off his skin from the face of the earth. Soon the blisters were bursting, and in an instant, everyone was covered in Gohan's pus and blood. Everyone. Was. Horrified. It wasn't until Bulma heard bombs bursting that she took Chi-Chi serious, and zoomed from her house to Chi-Chi's. In human speed, of course. It would take about an hour or so to get there. Gohan was Bursting with tears. Would he die? To unnatural causes? Come to think about it, he was gonna die anyway. He wasn't even that good of a child. Mom kept on getting him tutors because he wasn't smart enough, and Dad left to fight cause his son wasn't a fighter. Why? How would he protect everyone if he just couldn't do it? These were the thoughts in Gohan's head. He Went pupiless. Eventually, after all the screams, and crying, and trying, Gohan just up and disappeared. The purple fire disappeared with him, and the chair where Gohan sat was burned to a crisp. The whole scene was… no, the whole dragon ball cast was flabbergasted. With Gohan gone… it just felt… like they weren't needed anymore. This showed everyone there, that they weren't together. This showed how just apart they were. But as for Gohan…

"Eeh, uh… of…" Gohan grunted while resisting the pain of the burns. Gohan was scarred on most parts of his body, the only true beige spots showing as scratch marks, and even then they were hard to see, but there remained a lot of em'. After a few minutes of unconsciousness, Gohan finally woke up, yelling and screaming cause of the pain. After that, he opened his eyes a little bit more to see… crystals... With people in them? No, that can't be right. Gohan looked up again, but this time more clearly, to see what he thought can only be described in a manga. But, then again, He lived in a world where people can shoot beams out their mouth, so he wasn't too shocked. Gohan also felt something come out of his tailbone, so he looked down to see what it was and… His tail was back? He started going through all the possible explanations for why this was happening, and he couldn't figure out why. He didn't know if anyone was there watching him, so he just hid his tail inside of his pants and then just kept on looking. Gohan flew up to one of the crystals, trying to touch one. It shocked him back, so he used the only logical answer. He filled his finger to the brim with KI and jammed it into the crystal. Only it didn't shatter. It absorbed his hand. Gohan reached his other hand to try and get it the other one out but was to no success. Gohan re-thought his situation and decided what he did wasn't considered the best of choices. He tried to fly out of the crystal, But it was to no avail. Next thing Gohan knew, he was thrown into the crystal, more of his skin burning in the process.

(In literally the middle of nowhere)

As Gohan was thrown from the crystal dimension into another dimension. On his way down, he could see villages, one of them had a yellow-haired kid with whisker marks on his face about his age running from building to building, at fast speeds, thanks to Gohan's enhanced vision from his Saiyan side. He ignored it and tried to safely fly down to a level where he could drop down and walk. Even though he couldn't walk, he still wanted to land down safely so he doesn't damage one of his already burned up legs. But… Something… Something was wrong. Gohan couldn't use his KI! Whatever it was, it was complete utter shit that he had to deal with. Then he remembered, he had jammed all of his KI into one attack! Gohan was now out of options. Not anything he wasn't used to, he just had to improvise! 'Now, if I can use some of my KI reserves to use land safely, the- No, that won't work, ill die… Wait I know! If I can us-' CLUNK! Gohan was shut off, as his skull violently collided with the jagged edges of the rock below him. He didn't fracture his head or anything. Just a crash with a little weight to it, but it still hurt like hell and knocked him unconscious. A few hours pass and a few villagers from the hidden leaf came to check up on the 'Meteor' that was gonna destroy everyone.

"W… I don't… This…"

"I-I wasn't ready for this, man…"

"What.. t-the actual fuck…"

Were some of the whispers Gohan heard through his consciousness. Yeah, sure his wounds were bad, but did they hurt? Only a little. Gohan had two 1st degree burns on his left cheek, 5 2nd degree burns on his legs and chest, and two very small 3rd degree burns on his arms, from forcing his way through the crystal, despite using KI. One of the villagers started taking a few photos while the others just stared at him in disgust. Some other villagers tried to take his belongings, while others tried to pick him up and carry him to the Hospital. A few Jounin sent from the Hokage arrived at the scene, and one of them just threw up at the sight. A 19-year-old Gray-Haired looking Jounin Picked him up with ease and Just dashed to the Hokage. Everyone else followed but the creep that just looked at the photos. He was a skinny looking man with yellow Snake-Like eyes.

"Yes, this will be a fine specimen. If he was able to tank that blast, his DNA Will be perfect in my goal." The scrawny man said. He laughed like a maniac and took off to his base. This is only the beginning.

Chi-Chi Stared at herself in disgust. She had the idea that both her husband and her son was dead. What was she gonna do? How was she gonna do it? She had to better herself. If she couldn't even do that? Chi-Chi's Mind was fighting the urge to enter depression. Chi-Chi's Will strengthened her mind so that it can fight it off. In the end, this was Chi-Chi's Conclusion: Train Hard enough to at least protect her home. If that's what she wanted to do, then she had to work hard. Power and confidence in your capabilities don't come straight to you, y'know. Chi-Chi went out of the door, Clothes, and essentials packed in a bag. Chi-Chi was Going out, to find herself.

She was walking, and walking, and soon running, and zooming. This was Chi-Chi's will. She wasn't about to become some weakling, She was going to find herself, Find her purpose.

"I Will become stronger. If sone Goku comes back, I'll train with him. The dragon balls can wish him back. Yeah, The dragon balls. I need the Dragon Balls!" Chi-Chi Changed her course of direction and headed for Capsule-Corp.

"This time, after I revive Goku-sa, I will make everything better. I will fix everything. I WILL Become stronger." Chi-Chi said. A bold statement. A bold statement indeed.

Thanks for reading! I changed a few things, and added more text for Chi-Chi and the others in the dragon ball verse, to make them more relevant. And as for Chi-Chi, you bet you'll see more of her. As for Gohan, ask who I should pair him up with. But trust me, it will take a LOOONNGG time, maybe 20 chapters for Gohan to even consider their feelings, because remember, this is an adventure genre. And until then, Soar away!
