There was nothing around. It was total darkness. He could feel that his eyes were open but there was nothing for him to see. And it was cold, so very, very cold…where was he, whowas he? Was he even alive? Was he sentient? How did he know what those words meant? What was this endless purgatory? He went to take a deep breath that his lungs had begun to burn for, as if he had been accidentally holding it. But when nothing happened when he attempted to breathe his brain panicked and then he was fully awake.

He looked around and he was floating in the endless void of space. "What the hell!? Where am I!?"he shouted internally. He felt his energy reserves were low…energy…he was a fighter, that's right. "My name is….Go…han….yes…that's it. I'm from Earth, where is Earth?"but no sooner had the thought registered than a piece of debris was seen floating in front of him. He looked in the direction the debris had come from and saw a horrific sight.

In lieu of the Earth floated a massive amount of varying sized debris floating through the void. And then the memories came flooding back.

"EARTH! I was on Earth at school! Those monsters escaped hell and I stayed behind to create a diversion and protect everyone as they left the planet!"He recalled in a hurry. Gohan urgently reached out with his Ki only to find nothing else around him.

"That's right…..I killed them already. Cell and Hatchiyak were the last ones…. The Earth was destroyed in our clash…"

*FLASHBACK*

Gohan watched as the ships launched into hyper speed and far out of the reach of anyone here. The villains saw this but knew that they were too slow in comparison to this one boy to be able to hit any of those ships anyway. Their best bet was to focus all their energy and malice on the one fighter before them.

King Cold dropped lifelessly from Gohan's clutches as he stood there covered in a mixture of his own blood and the blood of their allies. He had transformed into a Super Saiyan not long after the ship left and he had been killing plenty more of them since he did so. He had managed to recover his friends and placed them all out of reach from the villians. He stood right by them and instead let the enemies come to him, fearing that one of the more powerful ones would blast their weakened forms if he left their sides.

Gohan kicked a blast from Bojack into the air before leaping over a kick from Cooler in his final form. Gohan backhand-smacked Cooler out the school and into a distant building before throwing two straight left punches into Bojack's chest and stomach respectively, following up the flurry with a jump and a roundhouse to his temple, tossing the large blue man away into the dirt.

The half breed was beginning to grow tired and dropped out of Super Saiyan. Early on in the fight Cell had fired a Death beam from the crowd that had pierced his lower left abdomen. It hurt immensely but he knew he had to ignore it."No! I can't be tired already! And I'm NOT a half breed! Not anymore! Not after that whole scenario! I was born a half breed but now I have both biologically and emotionally EARNED my place as a Saiyan warrior and DAMMIT I'm going to live up to that name!"Gohan declared internally, before deciding that out loud would make him feel even better.

"Grgh YOU HEAR THAT!? I won't be defeated so easily! I am not only a proud Saiyan warrior, but I am also the defeator of the Legendary Super Saiyan of legend dammit! Screw defeator I AM A LEGENDARY SUPER SAIYAN!" He finished with a war cry, powering up further, "Agggghhh!"

Gohan crouched forward slightly, his whole body tensed up and the following shockwave of power staggered the crowd of fighters as his hair flashed a more brilliant Gold than any had witnessed before, "Aghhh! Rrgghhh!" Gohan's teeth grit down as his hair flashed from Black to Gold, his eyes lighting up into an Aqua. The whole of Earth rumbled with his might as he grunted, trying to grasp the power he held within him, wrestling with his own strength.

"Come on! I know there's more! I KNOW IT! I defeated Broly, I defeated Chan3 I did it with power I never knew I had! But it's THERE! RIGHT THERE! RIGHT WITHIN MY GRASP AND I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED BY A MENTAL WALL! NOT NOW AND NOT EVVEEEEER!"he commanded his power forth, coupled with a deep grief at his certain fate and an intense anger at what was going to happen to the planet he called home.

And with that injustice and anger in mind the dam broke and his power exploded forth like a tidal wave. Gohan threw his head back and his arms tensed at his sides as he let loose a cry that nearly split the Earth in two with its raw emotion, rocking the planet like an earthquake. His pupils disappeared entirely from view and his cry was so subconscious that it sounded almost like an insane primal scream of pain.

"HUUAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" when the light cleared there stood Gohan as a Super Saiyan 2. Gohan rarely used this form as for all the godly power it gave him he did NOT like the attitude that came with his power. But it was necessary in this situation.

Everyone sensed the power and apparently Gohan was stronger than they all remembered. Cell sensed his Ki and realised that Gohan was about twice as powerful as he had been when Cell was killed by him, and this was NOT good news for them, at ALL.

"Alright you lot time to back to the next dimension." Gohan told them all calmly, his hair spiking like a golden flame with the one bang flowing before his eyes. His eyes if possible were even narrower and his jaw seemed to be set more defined, and his mouth was a thinner, harder line, curved down slightly at one side.

All the villains stared in awe of his might including Cell himself. Finally Trunks, Krillin and Piccolo stirred from their induced slumber. The shaking of the planet woke them and they were all in pretty bad shape. Piccolo spoke first.

"Gohan…you're….ascended." he said disbelievingly looking at his pupil, to which Gohan simply nodded.

"It was necessary, I wouldn't be if I didn't have to be." He replied evenly, "But hey now that you guys are awake I can finally get down to business. I need you all to get out of here, take the others who are still unconscious with you." He commanded calmly.

"What do you mean get out of here where do we go?" Krillin asked him, slightly fearing the answer that he knew was coming.

"Off-world" Gohan answered grimly, exactly what they were afraid of, "I already had Bulma evacuate the planet, I'll be here holding them off while you guys escape using one of the smaller Capsule Corp Ships. If that doesn't work, Trunks you're the only other one fast enough to fly them to Namek in groups it should take you a little over an hour or two to fly them all to Namek two at a time." Gohan explained, laying out his plan for them.

"What about you? When will you get to Namek?" Trunks asked already knowing the answer to his question. Gohan didn't turn to answer this and Trunks merely had to stare hard at the back of Gohan's head.

"I probably won't…" he responded dryly, "But that isn't important I have to make sure all these monsters don't follow up on you!" he continued firmly and determinedly.

"Gohan are you aware of how insane this is? You'll die Gohan! And we JUST used the Namekian Dragonballs there's nothing we'll be able to do if you die for at least half a year!" Trunks argued against his friends seemingly clouded judgement.

"Trunks!" Gohan cut in firmly, "I HAVE to do this! You lived in the timeline where everybody was killed by the androids but me and you right? You KNOW why I did what I did in that time so you HAVE to understand now! Wouldn't you prefer that timeline if I died but in return all our friends and family got to live? This is the way it has to be Trunks now GO! Chances are the Earth won't be here much longer so get them out of here!" Gohan ordered.

Trunks didn't like this plan one bit but what he said about Trunks' home timeline was true, and Trunks DID understand why he had to do this. Gohan was a protector through and through. Even at the cost of his own life. Trunks and Krillin reluctantly grabbed the other Z fighters while Gohan turned to Piccolo.

Gohan half expected Piccolo to argue against him and declare that he would stay and fight alongside his friend but thankfully Piccolo merely nodded and smile grimly, "You did good kid. You were right back then, you aren't the little snot-nosed kid I trained all those years ago you are a fine young man Gohan and I'm proud of you, and I know your father is too. I hope to see you again someday kid you really are something else" Piccolo said, before flying off with the others.

Gohan turned back to the group with a steely resolve never before seen in the usually timid teen. His expression was one of somber acceptance and silent rage. "I hope you enjoyed your time out of hell you bastards, because your time is up" he announced quietly before dashing into the terrified mass.

*FLASHBACK*

Gohan needed oxygen and he needed it now. His Saiyan lungs certainly allowed him to survive a long time without air in his lungs but judging by the burning he hadn't breathed oxygen in almost an hour. Gohan gave one last sweep, with his eyes and Ki, of the area before trying to take off for an inhabitable planet even in his injured state. Gohan looked down at himself and saw he had almost nothing left on him but his pants which were more like shorts on his left leg and torn pants on his right leg. He was bleeding heavily all over and he was sure his left arm was damaged quite severely. He couldn't move it, it wouldn't respond and it hung limply at his side. Gohan shot off as fast as he could, remembering something Jazuka had mentioned to him a while ago.

*FLASHBACK*

"Yeah well, if you guys want, you can go meet my ancestors up on that ship" Jazuka told them.

*FLASHBACK*

There was no way he would make it to Namek in time, he'd die in space. But according to Jazuka that Saiyan ship had been quite close to Earth. Close enough that Gohan might actually be able to make it there in time. Gohan made his decision and reached out with his Ki, as far as he could reach, and found a small gathering of no more than 500 Ki's only 20 minutes flight away if he could get his damaged body to go faster than light. "Damn, light speed is way easy when I'm 100% fine but I'm barely conscious, how am I supposed to do this…?"he thought sullenly, "Dammit Gohan you can't give up, you owe it to your family and friends to survive this!"he assured himself mentally. Gohan gathered the maximum amount of energy he could and shot off into space as fast as he could. He zipped past planets, stars, asteroids, meteors, and even a black hole.

He was getting very short on oxygen though and his vision was beginning to blur. He felt very light and he was beginning to see purple but he had to keep going. He could sense that the ship was near but he was slowing down rapidly. Finally the ship came into view and he was probably only about 50 feet from the ship itself however he could fly no more. Darkness and cold was wrapping around his vision. "Dammit….I was…so…close…."He remarked bitterly as his vision faded and he felt his body going limp.

However it seemed the universe chose to shine upon Son Gohan that day…

*Aboard the Saiyan Ship: Meanwhile*

A Saiyan with short, spiky black hair that leaned slightly forward was making his way through the halls of the ship. They had resided here ever since they heard that a meteor had blown up Planet Vegeta but they received calls to their pods from loved ones that said otherwise. They knew it was Frieza and so they went into hiding, despite their pride. In the beginning there had only been 2 or 3 dozen of them but since then they had all learned to live with each other and have formed a once again strong and powerful race.

This Saiyan in particular was named Jinto. He was almost 60 years old but due to him being a Saiyan he was blessed with long youth and so he only looked about half that. Saiyans typically looked very small until they turned about 17 when they suddenly shoot up into full size (A.N My in-universe explanation as to why Goku was so small in the original Dragonball)and to his knowledge very few Saiyans had ever died of old age. Most died in battle in some way but the youngest a Saiyan had ever died naturally on record was a little over 200, the oldest Saiyan in history living to almost 300. It was a long told myth that Saiyans were born and bred to fight and that's why they retained their youth and lived longer than most species. Saiyan children however take much longer to be fully formed inside the womb so that the child's body is developed enough to withstand the physical labours of life on their planet. They typically took a year and a half to be born. Jinto currently had a child on the way actually, he was thinking of naming him-

Jinto's train of thought was interrupted when his scouter went off as he walked along one of the ships outer hallways. "What? It says someone's out there? Did one of the Saiyans who went out get stuck?!"He panicked internally before running to the nearest window.

Jinto looked outside the nearest window and searched in the direction his scouter was indicating. Suddenly he saw it, a floating figure that looked unconscious floated in the void outside their ship. Jinto knew he shouldn't go out there without confirming if it was a danger or not but if that WAS a Saiyan in need out there he couldn't just let them die!

Steeling his courage he didn't even bother running, he simply flew off down the hall looking for the nearest airlock. Finding one only a few dozen feet down the hallway he quickly entered and shut the entry to the ship's hull airtight before exhaling all his air, opening the airlock, and letting himself be pulled out into the void.

Jinto flew right for the figure and as he got closer details became clear. Jinto saw what was obviously a very humanoid figure, as much as he himself, wearing strange clothes. The figure seemed to have a power level of 3000 standard units and it was dropping slowly. "Fairly powerful for someone unsconscious"Jinto remarked mentally.

He was only about 6 feet away now and he slowed down in caution. He neared and what he saw shocked him. The figure before him had the same characteristic Black spiky hair typical of Saiyans, as well as a furry brown tail behind him, "IT IS! IT'S A SAIYAN!"Jinto thought in shock before seeing the wounds and scars all over him, "He must have just been in a battle, these wounds are fresh. He must have been hurt and escaped here but passed out early"Jinto reasoned before grabbing the boy, who looked fairly young, and shot back towards the ship at top speed. The boy looked like he would be in serious trouble if he went even another minute without oxygen. Jinto entered his code and got them into the air lock room before shutting the exit door and pressing the button to allow oxygen into the room.

Jinto laid the boy down right there and checked and as expected the kid wasn't breathing and his face was going blue. He was extremely cold too. "DAMMIT KID DON'T DIE ON ME!"Jinto demanded internally, as he started thumping on the boy's chest. "Come on…come on!" he muttered to himself, blowing air into his mouth and pushing on his chest with all his heart. Jinto got frustrated that he didn't seem to be coming to and hammer fisted him on the chest as hard as he could and suddenly the boy started coughing and hacking.

Gohan's eyes cracked open slightly, he was so cold, colder than he'd ever been, and his whole body hurt. In his half-awake daze he looked up and saw Jazuka standing over him but with shorter hair, saying something that he couldn't quite make out it was all very fuzzy-sounding. Suddenly his eyes hurt too much from all the sudden light flooding into them and he screwed them shut to stop the horrible pounding in his head but right before he passed out the comforting voice of who he thought was Jazuka said, "It's alright kid, I got'cha…"

*Hours Later*

Once again Gohan was in total darkness. The first thing he registered was darkness and a sense of weightlessness and figured he must still be in space dying, and that whole thing with Jazuka was just a hallucination. But then he felt something tickle his feet and the skin on his back, "Are…those….bubbles?"he asked confused. Suddenly he noticed there was something strapped to his mouth and he realised he was breathing perfectly fine. "What the hell?"Gohan wondered in confusion, before forcing his eyes open a crack and saw himself surrounded in the see through green gel-like liquid of a regeneration tank. He felt a flood of relief that he was alive but where could he be?

Then suddenly the memories flashed back into his head, "Agh! The Saiyan ship! Somebody must have noticed me!"Gohan thought in excitement, thanking every deity that existed. Gohan looked past the tank and saw a few people standing outside wearing lab coats rather than armor of any kind and Gohan presumed they were the doctors, behind them stood Jazuka, with shorter hair, in Saiyan armor talking to one of the doctors. But wait, how was that possible? Jazuka was about 17 when he turned up at our timeline and he said he was from the Age 1000. That meant that Jazuka wasn't going to be born for at least another 200 years or so. Besides, a full blooded Saiyan's hair never changes from birth. "My hair is impossible to get to lie flat these days and I'mtechnicallystill half-human…I think."Gohan rambled on on his head before getting back to the point. Who was this guy that saved him?

Just then a beeping noise sounded off and all the people in the room turned to him, "He's done" one of the lab coat dudes said before walking over to the console and pressing a button that drained the fluid from it. They were all shocked when Gohan reached up, removed the breath mask, and without even needing instruction, pressed a few buttons and stepped out of the tank dripping wet and completely naked.

"So he knows how to use a regen tank huh?"Jinto noted to himself, throwing the guy some clothes to put on. Gohan couldn't explain it but he felt at ease with these people, knowing they were his. He felt like they were his family in some strange, hippie-sounding way. Gohan nodded gratefully at the man who gave him the clothes, Saiyan battle fatigues, and put them on. It was the same colour scheme and design as Raditz' armor had been, including the gloves and boots, only with the long spandex under-suit pants, and T-shirt length sleeves. Gohan noticed there was a scouter on the table and he didn't want to seem rude so he just but the thing on. It had a blue glass lens.

"Thank you for saving me, I would have died without your help" Gohan spoke in the common tongue, hoping they knew it as his Saiyago was kinda rusty from not being used for a good while. Vegeta had taught him most of the language but now he only remembered the important stuff. Thankfully the man replied in kind.

"No problem, I couldn't just leave you to die out there. But I haven't seen you around the ship and when I found you, you weren't dressed like a normal Saiyan so forgive me for asking but who exactly are you?" the man asked. Gohan then noticed all the lab coat Saiyans seemed extremely cautious of him.

"Oh of course forgive my bad manners. My name is Son Gohan, pleased to meet you." He introduced, bowing slightly before holding his hand out for a handshake.

The Saiyan looked at the hand confused, "My name is Jinto, but um, what are you doing?" He asked, confused by this strangers apparent customs.

"Where I come from it's how we greet each other, sorry I didn't realise that you might do things differently, how do you greet each other here?" Gohan asked curiously, wanting to know more about his people. Jinto looked at him for a moment and after deeming him not a threat, moved his right arm out and put his elbow at a 90 degree angle from his upper arm, and held it out horizontally.

"Do as I have done" he instructed simply. Gohan did so immediately with his right arm and waited. Jinto then moved his arm forward so that their fore arms were in complete contact for a moment before pulling away. Gohan nodded at him and memorized the action.

"Well met Son Gohan but I believe my people would like answers about the identity of the strange man I brought into our ship." Jinto explained before turning and gesturing for Gohan to follow. Gohan did so and followed him to a room with a table in the center. There were chairs around the table and a few high Saiyans who looked important sat around it. They all had White and Red armor with Black spandex underneath and with Red capes attached at the base of their shoulder guards. They gestured for the two to enter the room and take a seat at the table. Gohan saw that he was going to have to sit down and so wrapped his tail around his waist and sat.

After a few moments of silence the Saiyan sitting at the head of the table leaned forward, "He seems fairly Saiyan to me" his deep, smooth voice remarked, "Alright boy why don't you start by telling us your name?" he offered as everyone turned to look at him. Gohan nodded to the men.

"My name is Son Gohan." he told them all in a clear voice.

This time another of the Saiyans spoke up, "Son Gohan doesn't sound very conventional for a Saiyan to me." the man pointed out.

"You're right it isn't. I think I should tell you that I was born on Earth, not on Planet Vegeta, nor on this spaceship." Gohan explained, eliciting shocked expressions from everyone at the table.

"A Saiyan, raised on Earth?" one of them muttered almost disbelievingly, "Could it be that you are Bardock's son? You bear quite the resemblance to him" one of them asked him, "No you are much too young" he then added quietly.

"You are correct I am no son of any Bardock, you see it's complicated. Technically I wasn't always really a Saiyan" Gohan began, trying to explain his situation, getting weird looks from them, "I know it sounds crazy just let me explain. You see my father is a Saiyan named Goku, he was sent to Earth as a baby right before the destruction of Planet Vegeta. He was raised on Earth by a human named Gohan, which is where I get my name. He married an Earthling woman and they had me, the first Human/Saiyan hybrid. But not that long ago I underwent a change on a cellular level. My Saiyan DNA swallowed and absorbed my Human DNA giving me all the characteristics of a full-blooded Saiyan. It's strange but I'm technically a Full Saiyan and a half-breed at the same time. But to make things simple on a biological level I'm a Saiyan just like all of you." He explained.

"Hmmm, I see. And you say your father's name was Goku, that's also an unusual name for a Saiyan." Another Saiyan said, thinking this information over.

"Oh I'm sorry, my father was sent to Earth as a baby, so the old man who found him didn't know his name. We later found out, through my Uncle Raditz who turned up on Earth one day, that my father's real name is Kakarot" he elaborated bringing a shocked expression to the one who asked him about Bardock.

"Kakarot!? Are you sure!?" the man asked him, "Yes you're telling the truth that's why you bear such a resemblance to Bardock!" the man said, almost shouting as he stood up out of his seat.

"I'm sorry, could you please fill me in on what exactly you're talking about?" Gohan asked, extremely puzzled as to what the Saiyan before him was rambling about.

"Kakarot was the name of Bardock's son! Yes I remember now Raditz was his first-born! To think that he had a son!" the man exclaimed.

"Actually he had two, I have a little brother." Gohan informed him, happy to find someone who in some way knew him.

"What were you doing all the way out here?" the Saiyan at the head of the table asked him.

"Well you see over the course of our lives, my father, his friends and I have all fought off villains who sought to destroy the Earth. Then what must have been yesterday, they all broke loose from hell and came looking for me. My father was killed in battle earlier this year you see, so instead they came looking for me. I managed to kill them all but in the process the Earth was destroyed." Gohan told the story.

"So Kakarot is dead…..I am sorry for your loss but at least he died in battle" Jinto said from beside him.

"Don't feel sorry for me, my dad won't be gone long. See on Earth we have a Namekian. This Namekian has the power to create something called Dragon Balls. 7 Mystical orbs that when gathered together, summon a dragon who can grant any wish the summoner desires. Including bringing the dead back to life provided they did not die of natural causes." Gohan told them all, intriguing many of them.

"We have heard tales of such power before, extraordinary. But you said the Earth was destroyed, how do you hope to bring your father back if the Namekian is dead?" A Saiyan asked him.

"That's the thing, one of my friends on Earth owned a very wealthy company that specialized in ingenious technology. We formed a plan in case something like this happened years ago. She built a network of space ships all over the planet and I held off the enemies while they escaped. I honestly didn't expect to survive the fight. When I woke up after the fight and Earth was destroyed I flew here as it was the closest inhabitable place to my location." Gohan further explicated to his Saiyan brethren.

"Clever of you. But how could you possibly know of our location?" Jinto asked him, thoroughly interested in his story.

"Ah, now this is a bit more complicated. Up until this year we thought there were only 3 more full blooded Saiyans left alive. My father, and someone you might know, Prince Vegeta" Gohan told them.

"Prince Vegeta lives!?" they asked excitedly, but the look on Gohan's face caused them to simmer back down almost immediately.

"To be honest I don't know, only months ago he was put into a regen tank to heal after the fight that my father died in. One day these men stormed his house, drained his son's energy and threw aside his Human wife. They took him and we have no way of finding him. They're either off-world already, or they and Vegeta died in the explosion." Gohan told them with a grimace and clenched fists, the others didn't ask the other questions they were dying to ask as this was clearly a sore spot for the young one, "Anyway I'm getting off-topic. One day these 2 Saiyans showed up from the future in a time machine. Their names were Jazuka and Kagome, brother and sister, and they helped us defeat a threat that came to us. Right before they left to go back to their own time Jazuka told us the location of this ship and said that I was welcome to come here if I ever needed it." Gohan recounted.

"Jazuka and Kagome….I like those names. My wife already has a name for our son…but maybe my next children someday could have those names"Jinto thought to himself absent-mindedly. (A.N Yyyyep, just in case the whole part about him looking like Jazuka wasn't enough for you to get it)

"Well Son Gohan we'd be happy to host you for as long as you need. It's good to know there are other Saiyans out there besides us. Especially ones that have escaped Frieza's watchful eye for so long." The Head Saiyan said kindly.

"Frieza? You think he's still looking for you?" Gohan asked, obviously flabbergasted by this information, "That's right you wouldn't know, would you? We met and fought Frieza on planet Namek almost 11 years ago" Gohan told them dropping a bombshell.

"WHAT!?" They all cried in unison. "Yeah, see when Raditz, Vegeta and Nappa all came to Earth it was to recruit my dad to Frieza's army. My dad refused to do something as horrible as destroy planets for a tyrant like him and so they attempted to destroy Earth and him so he would never be a threat. He easily defeated Raditz and Nappa and eventually even Vegeta, but on his way to fight Nappa, Vegeta and Nappa killed a lot of our friends. So after the fight we went to Namek to use their Dragon Balls, but unfortunately Frieza also found out about them and went to Namek too. Frieza was terrifyingly strong and he almost killed me on multiple occasions but even as a 6 year old my Saiyan genes meant I was very strong for my age and I managed to hurt him a few times after he transformed."

"YOU HURT FRIEZA'S TRANSFORMED STATE AS A CHILD!?" one of the older Saiyans said in shock.

"State*s, Vegeta eventually realised he was done taking orders from Frieza and teaming up with us was his best bet. Together he, a Namekian named Piccolo, A human named Krillin and I all managed to put up a good enough fight that he transformed all the way to his final form. He overpowered us easily at this point but just in time my father got there and fought evenly with him for a while."

"Incredible! Frieza's final form is something that no-one ever saw, only heard stories of. It was said his full power in that form was 100 million standard units!" Jinto remarked in barely more than a whisper.

"That's correct. It turns out he was only playing with my father at first, so in order to defeat him my father gathered all his strength into one last giant attack made up of the energy of every living thing on the planet. It hurt Frieza but it didn't defeat him and in revenge for getting hid by the attack, Frieza killed Krillin, my father's best friend since childhood and the anger my dad felt caused him to turn into a Super Saiyan for the very first time. He beat Frieza and then we used the Dragon Balls to wish back everyone who died in the fight." Gohan finished his story and everyone's jaws were on the floor.

"Y-Your father wa-was the first S-Super Saiyan!? AND HE KILLED FRIEZA!?"

"Yeah, his power then was about 150 million" Gohan added.

"150 MILLION!?" they all screamed at once in total shock.

"Yeah, but all of us, including me, have grown far stronger since back then. I'd wager that I'm at least as powerful as my father from back then as I am right now." Gohan said proudly, loving the shock and awe he was getting from his people.

"Impossible, my scouters picking you up at only 50 thousand right now." Jinto commented.

"How about you take me to the strongest part of your ship and I'll show you" Gohan offered with a smirk.

*Saiyan Ship Training Area: 5 minutes later*

Gohan looked around the massive expanse and noted that it was large enough that he shouldn't cause any damage by powering up in here.

"Alright looks good to me" Gohan confirmed with a nod of his head before looking back to the main 10 Saiyans who brought him here. Though many others had gathered around, curious of the newcomer. "You see on Earth when we learn to fight, we learn this ability to mask our Ki's from our enemy, just a little trick the Earthlings invented. Now we do it out of reflex unless we're fighting." Gohan explained to all of them there, receiving a nod from the cape-wearing Saiyans. It was a simple enough concept.

"Alright get ready now!" Gohan said in a slightly deeper voice as he crouched into a powering up position, "Hrrrrghh! Hwaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuughhh!" he let loose his power, opening the flood gates and powered up to his maximum without transforming. The whole ship shook just slightly and his scream reverberated off the walls around him and everyone's eyebrows shot up and their jaws dropped as their scouters suddenly went crazy. But more than that they could somehow, feel the power in the air around them. A shockwave shot from Gohan that knocked over most of the people in the room and small bolts of electricity danced around the dome of translucent white light around him. Eventually his scream faded and he stood to his full height and a White flame of an aura whooshed around him and his fair blew slightly from the wind being created by his energy. "How about this? What do your scouters read now?" Gohan asked arrogantly.

Jinto's scouter was the first to finish calculating, "It's at…175 MILLION!" he suddenly exclaimed in a confused expression, but with his mouth was working silently like a fish out of water.

"Hmph, even stronger, must be because I almost died in that last fight" Gohan remarked to himself.

"B-begging you pardon Gohan…but I'm curious….are you also capable of becoming a Super Saiyan?" the lead Saiyan with the cape asked tentatively, receiving a nod. "Would you mind showing us? If that's at all possible I mean, I'd like to see the power of legend" he asked.

Gohan nodded at him, "Very well, but you might want to hold onto something" he told them and they took his words to heard grabbing onto whatever they could and backed up a bit. "RrrrrrrrgghhhhhAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGHHHH!" Gohan's scream was let out as he reached deep inside himself and harnessed his inner anger. He felt the power travel through his veins and dance across his skin as he tingled with the familiar hot sensation of the powerful energy flow through his body. He felt his power skyrocket.

Gohan guessed that it about tripled his power and this was confirmed when he heard them call out, "500 MILLION!" Gohan's was finished powering up and he stood back at full height once again. A now Golden flame-like aura surrounding his body, his Golden hair sticking up ever more wildly and his eyes a brilliant Aqua that shone with dangerous power. "This is incredible! I've never encountered such power!" the Saiyans remarked, completely enraptured in his power, almost drawn to it.

"Hmph! I can get even stronger, about double this power." Gohan stated, with his face in an emotionless expression that just looked cold and calculated, further frying the brains of the people around him, "But this is beside the point, Frieza is dead now you no longer have to hide and try to stay out of sight" Gohan said out loud as he returned to his base form, eliciting whoops and cheers from all around him, "I need to get to Namek but without being able to access my full power it would take too long and I'd die along the way, do you think you could take me part of the way in your ship, just to get me in flying range?" Gohan asked the Saiyan leader who looked to one of his engineers.

"When can it be done? And how fast?" he asked the Saiyan with a cleaning rag over his shoulder and grease on his hands.

"Should only take us a few days to get him in safe flying range of Namek" he approximated for his general, who nodded.

"You heard him, we'll get going immediately. It's the least we can do, if it wasn't for you we'd probably have continued hiding for generations to come. We'll do anything we can to help you Son Gohan."

Gohan nodded and smiled thankfully, yeah, he definitely liked Saiyans, and now he was only MORE proud to be one, just like all of them.

AN. Yoooo, another chapter for you guys!
