Disclaimer: I don't own Dragonball Z or Gohan. So don't sue me, please because I'm saving up for Dragonball Z and Dragonball GT DVDs.
Author's Note: Gohan is 6 at this time. For those of you who watched the Frieza Saga, Vegeta attacks Gohan on Earth and kills him. Vegeta then knocks out Piccolo, while the other Nameks were too scared to move. They tried to wish him back, but the Supreme Kai needed Gohan to help him. So this starts off where Gohan is killed. He'll be back…someday. J
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
BOOM! Gohan landed in a crater, severely injured. Vegeta landed in front of him.
"Now it's time to die, brat." He said evilly.
Piccolo appeared behind Vegeta and tried to punch him in the back, but Vegeta dodged his fist and slammed Piccolo in the stomach with his elbow, causing him to fly into a steep cliff, unconscious.
"AHHH!!!!" shrieked Bulma, terrified. She ran toward Gohan and Vegeta, but not fast enough.
Vegeta grabbed Gohan by the head and tossed him into a cliff. He then fired his Galic Gun. The blast went flying toward Gohan at breakneck speed.
Gohan looked up, in time to see the blast landing on him.
BOOM! The blast exploded. A huge crater was formed and the cliff destroyed. Gohan without a doubt was dead. Piccolo stood up after regaining conscious.
He stared at the spot of where Gohan had died.
Vegeta smirked, "Well, that half-breed brat is gone."
Piccolo growled, 'How dare he kill Gohan!'
Vegeta heard Piccolo growl and turned around. "What's the matter, Namek? Did the death of that little pipsqueak piss you off? I'd kill you too, if it weren't for the Dragonballs."
Piccolo's eyes narrowed. Vegeta laughed. "Well, I've got work to do. I'm not going to stay with you weaklings! I am the supreme ruler of the universe." Vegeta blasted off into the air, laughing his head off.
Bulma screamed after him, "Vegeta, you arrogant pothead!"
Dende hung his head. Piccolo simply stared at the crater. 'I'm sorry Gohan. I failed you.' He then looked up to the sky, 'Goku, where are you?'
The group stood there, too shocked to say anything. Just then Bulma's dad flew in, landing a few feet away from the group.
As the door opened, Chi-Chi came running out looking for Gohan. "Gohan! Gohan!" she screeched.
Bulma stepped forward, "I'm sorry, Chi-Chi, he's, he's not here. He's dead. We could wish him back though." Chi-Chi's eyes widen. "What? Ohh." She fainted.
Meanwhile, Gohan appeared at the giant check-in station to the Otherworld. King Yemma glared down at him. "Aren't you Goku's son?" he asked.
Gohan nodded. "Well, the Supreme Kai wants to see you. He has a job for you." He pointed a giant finger behind Gohan, who turned around to see Shin standing there.
Shin bowed, "Welcome Gohan. My name is Shin. Please don't call me Supreme Kai. Unfortunately, you cannot return to the Earth quite yet. I need your help in keeping the universe stable. But first you must be able to transform into a Super Saiyan 4. There is such a level. You have hidden powers that will destroy the evils that are threatening to plunder this dimension and many others. So Gohan, will you help me? You will return to your family and friends again. But I can't say when."
Gohan looked at Shin for a moment, "I will help you."
Shin grinned, "Good. That matter is settled. Now stand still while I give you your gi." Gohan's old training gi appeared on him.
Gohan was shocked, "Thanks Shin."
"Not a problem. We'll begin your training with Pikon. But promise me this. When your friends and family try to wish you back, refuse."
Gohan nodded, "I will. Shin, has my dad showed up?" Shin shook his head, "He isn't dead Gohan. He's alive. But don't tell the others yet."
Gohan's eyes widen in surprise. But he nodded his head.
"Now come, your training begins." Shin said, taking off in the air. Gohan flew after him, puzzled at what had happened.
Shin and Gohan landed on the Grand Kai's planet. Pikon was already standing there with the other Kais.
King Kai looked at Gohan, "Aren't you Goku's kid?" Gohan nodded.
Shin frowned, "Sorry to interrupt, but we have no time for chit chat. Pikon, Gohan, please begin."
Pikon got into a fighting stance, as did Gohan. Pikon noted that Gohan's fighting stance was of Namekian style.
Pikon launched himself at Gohan, who barely moved out of the way. Gohan and Pikon flew up into the air, throwing punches and kicks. Pikon was stronger than Gohan; Gohan couldn't keep up with his speed.
Pikon landed a punch in Gohan's stomach, and then smacked him down to the rocky ground.
After a few minutes of this routine, Pikon grew impatient.
Gohan struggled to get up out of the rocks and dust. 'I have to do this. Earth depends on me. I will not let this happen!'
Gohan glared up at Pikon. He started to clench his hands. He let out screams of rage. His hair shot up and turned yellow, while his eyes glowed turquoise. 'I will beat him!'
"ARGH!" Gohan bypassed the first stage of Super Saiyan and went straight into the second stage. He stood there, breathing heavily, and then looked at Shin.
"Wonderful Gohan. You have been able to transform into Super Saiyan 2. That is all our training for today. If you follow me, you will find your place to sleep. Your friends down on Earth should be summoning the dragon soon. I will let you talk to them one time."
Gohan nodded. "Hey Gohan, you're not bad for a kid." Said Pikon.
Gohan turned, "Thanks." "Hurry Gohan." Said Shin from above.
Gohan flew up, waved to Pikon, and took off. King Kai was waiting at his planet, as they landed. He had left Gohan's training early. Gohan didn't see Tien, Chaotzu, or Yamcha. Shin didn't want them near him at the moment, fearing that they might blow his cover.
"I will be back tomorrow to continue your training. Good day." Shin said, as he took off into the air.
King Kai looked at Gohan, "Do you wish to talk to your friends now? They are about to wish you back." Gohan turned to face King Kai and nodded.
"Come put your hand on my shoulder. You will be able to communicate with all of them." Gohan walked up to King Kai, and did as he told.
'Hello?' Gohan's voice rang out over the clearing. All his friends on Earth looked up.
"Gohan?" questioned Piccolo.
'Yeah. I with King Kai right now. He's letting me talk to you. Listen I can't come back now. Don't bother wishing me back to life.'
'Why?' questioned Piccolo somewhat angry.
At that moment Shin broke in, 'I'm The Supreme Kai. Gohan is under my orders to remain here.'
The air was quiet. Gohan? Not coming back? It was unheard of.
It was Piccolo who finally broke the silence, "But what about Goku? Is he dead?"
Gohan paused for a minute, looked at Shin, who shook his head. 'I haven't seen him yet, but I'll tell him what happened. Well, I have to go. King Kai can't hold the connection for long. Bye.' The connection broke.
Piccolo stood there in shock. Bulma started sobbing. Chi-Chi, who had woken up, was crying her eyes out. The Nameks stood there with grave faces.
Dende was the first to speak, "Should we wish back Tien and the others?"
Piccolo nodded, "Might as well." The dragon was summoned and the others were wished back. But everybody was still unhappy.
Next morning Shin woke Gohan up so he could start training again.
"Thank you for lying Gohan. Goku is not dead, but I don't want them to know. If he comes back now, then he might mess up my plan."
Gohan nodded his head, too groggy from sleep to say anything. Pikon landed next to Shin, and smirked at Gohan knowing that this fight would be a good one.
Gohan stretched and echoed Pikon's smirk. Shin nodded for them to follow. They landed on a clearing on the Grand Kai's planet, not far from his palace. Gohan launched himself at Pikon and the two started to punch, block, and kick at each other.
Gohan decided to turn Super Saiyan 2. Now it was Pikon's turn to have trouble. Gohan slammed a fist into Pikon's chest, and landed a roundhouse kick to his head. After a few minutes of Gohan kicking Pikon's butt, Shin decided that it was time to end the match.
"Stop!" yelled Shin, "It is clear that Gohan has the advantage. Now we will go fight our first enemy. I'll talk to you later, Pikon. Gohan, come with me."
Shin blasted off into the air, Gohan waved bye to Pikon, and blasted off following Shin. "Where are we going?" asked Gohan.
Shin's reply, "We need to go down to Hell. There have been some disturbances. Your old enemies have teamed up together and need to be stopped. Nappa, King Cold, Frieza, Raditz, Turles, The Ginyu Force, and Frieza's henchman are the ones causing chaos and disorder. Let's go." Shin sped up, as did Gohan.
