Chapter 2: The Side Cavern
Disclaimer: I own nothing 'cept the story. Um.... yeah, this story is kinda written badly, but please review anyway...!
Setting: Post-Cell Games
REALLY MESSED UP AGES:
Gohan: 12
Goten: 6
Trunks: 7
IMPORTANT:
Goku was wished back to life along with the other people, takes places in Tenchi OAVs, probably doesn't fit in any timeline. Did I mention this is seriously messed up? Also, Gotenks only has up to SSJ, or else it would totally make this story plotless. Read part 1 first.
~Story starts.... NOW!~
Ryoko sighed, staring up at the stars. Oddly, there was no moon, like it had been for a long time, but the stars were still beautiful.
"Beautiful night, isn't it?" a voice asked. Ryoko started, startled. She turned her head.
"Oh. It's only you," Ryoko said. Ryoko blinked. "Wait, Gohan, how'd you get up here?"
"How else? I flew," Gohan said. Ryoko blinked.
"I won't ask," Ryoko said.
"Know how the moon disappeared?" Gohan asked. Ryoko shook her head. "Mr. Piccolo blew it up," Gohan replied. Ryoko blinked.
"Who's Mr. Piccolo?" Ryoko asked.
"Namekian," Gohan replied.
"I won't ask," Ryoko said again. Gohan grinned.
"Best if you didn't. I'd have to go into a lengthy explanation." Gohan faced Ryoko. "How do you know Vegeta?"
"I should be asking that to you," Ryoko countered. Gohan smirked.
"We fought," Gohan said simply. "And you?"
"We fought," Ryoko replied slyly. Gohan laughed. Then, something caught his eye.
"A cave?" Gohan thought aloud. Ryoko smiled.
"Yep. Wanna see it?" she asked. Gohan smirked.
"Way ahead of you."
"Too bad, kid. You can't go there." Gohan smirked at Ryoko.
"And why not?"
"Because I'm not going to let you." Gohan smirked.
"Catch me if you can! No teleporting, that's cheating!" Gohan shouted and began to fly towards the cave.
"Hey, get back here, you!" Ryoko shouted, speeding towards Gohan. Gohan laughed and entered the cave, miles ahead of Ryoko. He began to run forward, but stopped when he encountered a huge stone that blocked his way. To his left, he saw a crack he could just go through. He squeezed through the crack, trying to find a path around the huge boulder.
Meanwhile, Ryoko got tired of chasing after Gohan. "Duh! I can teleport!" she said, smacking herself on the forehead. Then, she teleported to Gohan. She found him in a side cavern carved carefully into her prison, staring at a clone of Vegeta. "C'mon kid, let's go back."
"No. I want to see what's behind that door," Gohan said, pointing at a door behind the Vegeta clone.
"Well, you'd have to go through the clone," Ryoko sakd. Gohan grinned.
"No sweat." Gohan charged. Clone Vegeta began to swing a kick at Gohan, but Gohan caught clone Vegeta's foot and pushed, sending the clone sprawling. Gohan leapt onto the Vegeta clone and brought his hand in the clone's face, releasing a ki blast that destroyed it. Ryoko blinked.
"Wow. You are awfully strong for a kid," Ryoko said. Gohan shrugged.
"Comes from saving worlds," Gohan replied. He walked towards the door and pushed it slightly. The door swung open, revealing a room much like that which Ryoko was locked in, except it was perfectly level and in the center was a pedestal. On the pedestal was a headband, made of soft leather. It had black designs on it, made from something that seemed like paint. The back was clasped together by a metal clasp. Little leather strips hung down from the sides. "Wow." It was a marvelous item, more so than one might seem.
"We should get this to Washu." Ryoko floated over to it and reached out to grab it. As soon as she touched the headband, it began glowing white around Ryoko's hand. It sent such a massive bolt of energy to her that she was knocked back several yards.
"Ryoko! Are you okay?" Gohan asked, running to Ryoko. Ryoko nodded.
"I've been worse," Ryoko said. Gohan nodded.
"Good. Now, do you know why you can't touch that headband?" Gohan asked. Ryoko shook her head.
"Unless it's like the Tenchi Sword, where only the right person can hold it," Ryoko said. Gohan shrugged.
"Well, maybe I should hold it," Gohan suggested. Ryoko frowned.
"Look kid..."
"Too late," Gohan said, flying to the pedestal. He reached out with his hand and grabbed the headband. Ryoko winced... but nothing happened. Gohan picked the headband up and shrugged. "I guess I can hold it," Gohan said. Ryoko shrugged.
"I guess you can. But we really should get that headband to Washu," Ryoko said.
"Who's Washu?"
"Mad scientist," Ryoko said. "She'll be able to figure out what that headband is."
"Maybe I should call Bulma. She's a scientist too. She can figure out what this is," Gohan said, indicating the headband.
"Washu's closer," Ryoko pointed out.
"Good point," Gohan said.

Goten rubbed his eyes, tired. He rolled over, pulling blankets over his head.
"Get up, sleepyhead!" a voice persisted.
"Go 'way Gohan," Goten murmured.
"Food," Gohan said. Goten shot up, wide-awake.
"Well, why didn't you say so?" Goten asked. In a flash, he was running downstairs. Gohan grinned and followed Goten.
*****
All of the Saiyajins ate like crazed weasels. Gohan had better manners, but still ate very fast. No one wanted to sit near the Saiyajins, except Gohan, since he was used to it. Mihoshi was flat-out gawking at how fast the Saiyajins ate. Gohan looked up at Mihoshi, grinned, then continued eating.
"I have found it!" someone exclaimed, walking into the room. Gohan and Ryoko looked up, Gohan momentarily abandoning his meal. It was immediately snatched by Goten.
"Hey, give that back!" Gohan shouted, grabbed his food back from Goten. Soon, it settled into an all out tug-of-war. Everyone that wasn't busy eating sweatdropped. Finally, Gohan settled to kicking Goten and yanking his food back. Then, he finished his food. Goten glowered, then continued eating. Ryoko stood and walked over to Washu. Soon, Gohan joined her.
"What did you find out?" Gohan asked.
"Well, I found out that I can't do anything with the headband. Except for the fact that it's really old, I don't know much about it," Washu said. Gohan and Ryoko sweatdropped.
"That's scary, Washu not knowing about something," Ryoko muttered. Washu shrugged.
"Well, let me see it," Gohan suggested. Washu shrugged.
"Follow me," Washu said.
