A.N.

Hey, guys Hahasuck693 back at it again with another chapter. Now I don't have much to say other than thank you. The positive response I've received from you guys from just 2 chapters is amazing. Now I don't want to worry you guys about the teaching Ki thing to demigods. I wasn't even going to do it in the first place. Besides later in the story, I'll have it better explained why. Now onto questions.

UrafuckingMeshi: According to the plot of my story yes they would get God ki immediately. Although I don't plan on making Gohan teach Ki anyways.

Kakarotsanmistic: There's a reason why I'm not putting the gigantic shockwaves of planet-destroying punches in the description for the fights. It's because other than Black (Which was the start of my story so I was taking it slow) He didn't have anyone that could challenge him.

One last thing. I'm seeing a lot of you guys that think Gohan wants to be paired with a goddess. I'm not going to do it. I take your word into consideration, and maybe I'll do it in the future. But for now, it's a no.

Chapter 3

"How dare? How dare you! A mortal! Even think about requesting an audience with the gods?" Mr.D asked in a fit of rage.

"I want to save my future sir. I think gaining help from the gods is the only way for me to do it at this point," This only seemed to anger the god even further as he could see the fire in his eyes.

"I could care less about your future! It's against the ancient laws to meddle with time anyways! If we find out that you're from our future you'll be eviscerated." He said threateningly but I stood my ground.

"My request still stands. I want to speak with the gods of this planet and see what kind of help they can offer me," He said with confidence.

'If I want the gods of this planet to help me then I need to be more sympathetic,' He thought as he could feel Mr.D's rage bubbling.

"Oh no no no. You don't just ask for a hearing with the gods. You must earn it. If it's hell for a minor god then I have no idea how you'll manage,"

"Please Mr.D! I'll do anything. I have to return to my timeline as soon as possible. I only had enough fuel for a one-way trip. I have no one else to help me." He pleaded, he wasn't one to beg for help but he was getting desperate.

"No. You're lucky enough I'm considering your validation for a hearing with the gods in the first place! You'll have to prove your worthy of a hearing. You'll have to face many trials to even earn yourself an appointment. After that, you'll probably have to wait a couple millennia for you to be selected." He said bitterly. Gohan's jaw dropped as he heard those words.

"A couple millennia?! You can't be serious. Is there any way for me to meet them faster?" Gohan asked nervously.

"Well… there is one way. Bah! Never mind, not even Ares or Apollo could do it." Mr.D said to himself but unfortunately for him, Gohan heard what he said.

"Wait I heard that. You said there is a way. What can I do?" Gohan interjected.

"No! Demigods and gods alike couldn't do it, what chance do you have?" Mr.D said a with a bit of anger that a mortal would doubt his judgment.

"I think I've shown I can handle myself Mr.D. Please have some pity and tell me what I can do." he pleaded to Mr.D to help save his future.

"You know what? Fine. If you want to go on some suicide mission then who am I to stop you. But you better listen carefully because I'm only going to tell this story once." He said warning Gohan to pay attention.

"So legend has it that when the Elder Cyclopes crafted the three legendary weapons for Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon. He had someone else that day come to him and craft a weapon stronger than all three of them combined. He said he needed the weapon the vanquish a great evil that plagued his land. He brought metals that the Elder Cyclopes had never seen before. It was more durable than Stygian Iron and it held great magical and divine power to the wielder. It quadrupled all of the user's power, speed, and durability. It had divine properties such as minor regeneration.

"Zeus angered that the Cyclopes went behind his back and crafted another weapon punished the Cyclopes and attacked the wielder. Miraculously, the mortal actually defeated Zeus in combat. So Zeus called for the help of his brothers and together, they defeated the man and attempted to destroy the sword. Unfortunately, not even the combined power of the three weapons could destroy the sword and so they gave it to the Furies to seal it away forever, never to be used again.

'Wow! That sounds like the Z-sword only like ten times better!' Gohan thought already excited to obtain this divine blade.

"But I must warn you, Golan. Only one with a pure heart has the strength of a god and will of a true warrior can wield this blade. And to continue, the blade was sealed away forever, hidden in an unknown part of the world. The sword was then never mentioned again. I don't remember the prophecy to its detail nor do I care so you'll have to see the Oracle. If you turn out to be the chosen warrior for this prophecy I'll grant you a quest. " He finished.

"Who is the Oracle?" He naively asked.

"Not Who. What. The spirit of the Oracle of Delphi. You must talk to her and ask to see your fate." He finished.

Chiron told Gohan where to go and walked four flights of stairs and pulled a cord which opened the attic. The warm air from above smelled like mildew and rotten wood and something else ... a smell he remembered from the forest when he lived with his mom and dad. Reptiles. The smell of snakes. He climbed up into the attic and witness many relics he could not recognize until he saw something truly frightening. By the window, sitting on a wooden tripod stool, was the most gruesome memento of all: a mummy. Not the wrapped-in-cloth kind, but a human female body shriveled to a husk.

As Gohan walked closers to the mummy a green mist poured from the mummy's mouth, coiling over the floor in thick tendrils, hissing like twenty thousand snakes. Gohan saw the air around him filled with mist. He turned around to see the trap door slam shut. Inside Gohan's head, He heard a voice, slithering into one ear and coiling around Gohan's brain.

"I am the spirit of Delphi, speaker of the prophecies of Phoebus Apollo, slayer of the mighty Python. Approach, seeker, and ask." The Oracle said.

"What is my destiny?" Gohan asked without fear as he stared straight into the undead eyes of the Oracle. The mist around him transitioned the scene to his old house from when he was a child. He was sitting down at a table and had to remind himself that this isn't real. He saw the figure of his father enter the house with a giant fish double his size. He turned to Gohan and stated the prophecy:

A man trapped in a different time

Shall stop at nothing to prevent a great crime

To find the sword you must go

And around the world, leave a bright glow

A great good taken by evil

Will emerge as deceitful

As the Oracle finished the tail of the mist snake disappeared into the mummy's mouth. She reclined back against the wall. Her mouth closed tight as if it hadn't been open in a hundred years. The attic was silent again, abandoned, nothing but a room full of mementos. He didn't fully understand so he left the attic feeling even more confused. He entered back into Mr.D's office and sat down.

"Well, what did the Oracle tell you? And before you start I must tell you that the Oracle's words often have a double meaning. They're not as cut and dry as they seem to be." Chiron told Gohan.

As Gohan finished telling them what the Oracle told him he was met with the worried face of Chiron. "Well then it is as I feared, you are destined to go on a quest and find the sword GodKiller." Chiron looked with a worried face like Gohan was just cursed.

"I don't understand. What does all of this mean? I can understand the first part but the rest is mumbo jumbo to me." Gohan said as he tried to understand the prophecy.

"Well, it could mean a number of things but you shouldn't ponder on it too much. After all, they could have double meanings." Chiron explained trying to relax Gohan's nerves.

"You can rest easy Chiron, I will find the sword and claim it as my own. I swear."Gohan stated with confidence." He looked to Mr.D in wonder as to what's next.

"Hm? Oh yes, that's right! I wasn't done. Anyways. If you… somehow, overcome all odds and find the sword. You must show that you have the qualities of a true warrior. It's not enough to simply be worthy of the sword. You must show that you have what it takes to use it. We'll talk about it if you bring the sword to us though." Mr.D finished as he didn't want to waste any more breath on quite possibly a waste of time.

"Oh don't worry Mr.D You won't regret this. I will find the sword and meet the gods if it's the last thing I do." Gohan said confidently that he can claim the sword as his own.

"Well not so fast. You need to prove that you can even take on this quest. Under normal circumstances, you'd have a team to back you up, however, the Oracle never mentioned teams. You must now prove that you have the necessary skills to partake this quest. I don't care how many demigods you beat at once, everybody has to go through it." Mr.D said obviously showing that he doesn't want to do this either.

Goku Black was walking down a long underground hall. The plan was to ask where did Gohan run away and kill the last surviving Saiyan in the universe. He had trapped master Zuno in an underground prison on Frieza planet 419. He roamed the halls in this highly advanced but abandoned prison built for one occupant. He had taken every precaution to keep master Zuno locked up so that he could never escape.

"Zamasu was right. It was a good idea to keep him alive. Now we can use him for his information at our discretion." Black said as he was approaching the door to their prisoner.

"Wake up Zuno!" Black commanded as he stared at his captive. Zuno was the one who everything about everything. He was omni-knowledgeable. With this gift, Black and Zamasu decided to keep him alive. They exploited his information about the universe to snuff out the last remaining mortal planets.

"I already know what it is you desire," Zuno said as he turned over to see his captor staring him in the face. He grabbed him by the sleeve and shoved him into the wall.

"Then you already should have given me what I want when I entered the door!" He said threateningly.

"You won't kill me. Your obsession with the Saiyan Gohan has driven you mad. You need the information I have and thus you need me." Zuno said nervously as he had a Ki blade right in between his eyes.

"You're playing a dangerous game. I could torture you more if that's what you want." Goku black extended his Ki blade and slightly poked his skull.

"I'd be glad to oblige." He said with a sadistic smile on his face. Zuno was now sweating heavily.

"Oh-Ok! Please, I'll tell you everything, just no more pain." He begged at his captive as he released him and fell to the ground. He gasped for air and stood up slowly.

"Talk." Is all Black said.

"Gohan; age 32, half Saiyan half human. The son of Goku and ChiChi. Was born... "

Black growled and punched Zuno in the gut. "I haven't the time for meaningless trivia! Now tell me where the damned Saiyan has run off to! My patience is wearing thin." He yelled angrily with a black aura now surrounding his body. "You wouldn't want to see me mad now would you?" He finished awaiting Zuno's reply.

"Gohan used the same machine he used 9 Earth years ago to save his friends. The time machine that was built by the great scientist Bulma. However, the time machine received damage by your Kamehameha and was transported to another alternate dimension with its own set of 18 universes. This dimension is different from ours in that it doesn't have any Kaioshin, gods of destructions, angels or the great king of all Zeno." he finished and was expecting to have given Black all the information he needed.

'No wonder my time ring didn't follow him. He didn't travel through time, he traveled through dimensions. However, neither Zamasu nor I have any way of traveling through dimensions. My Instant Transmission needs a signature in order to teleport so it's useless here.' Black thought as he picked Zuno back up obviously not done with him. "How can I travel to this alternate dimension? That blasted Saiyan will not escape a god's wrath!" He yelled with fury in his voice.

Zuno now terrified answered his question without a second thought. "There is only one way to travel through dimensions. You must find the planet of New Namek and use their set of Dragon Balls. They are the only way." Zuno said looking at Black in fear of his next course of action

"Why yes of course! The Namekian Dragon Balls. Tell me the location of New Namek." Black ordered Zuno not taking no for an answer.

Gohan was nervous, the longer he stays here the more time Black has to kill in his world. Unfortunately for Gohan, the tests required for him to even begin the test starts tomorrow. He tried to leave early saying he didn't have time to waste however, he couldn't cross the barrier. Until he passed the tests he was a prisoner in this camp. He was now sleeping in cabin 11 with some new pair of clothes. It was just a basic camp half-blood shirt and pants. He was having a nice nap for the first time since Black appeared.

However, he woke up in a less than favorable manner as he fell out of bed and unto the floor. He looked up to see that Annabeth was the culprit.

"I'm sorry. I just meant to wake you up. Not push you onto the floor." She said pleading for innocence.

"Ah, it's ok Annabeth. I should probably have gone for a walk anyways. Explore the camp you know." He said with that famous Son grin on his face.

"Actually that's the reason I'm here. I was told you never went through orientation and so I was told to give you a map of camp and teach you the basics you need to know. Like you know, learning about the gods, it's beginnings and it's stories." She said nervously.

As they walked through camp Annabeth gave Gohan a map to all the locations Camp Half-Blood had to offer. As Gohan was an outsider she shouldn't even be showing Gohan these things in the first place. She was technically circumventing the rules as she wasn't showing Gohan a tour. It was more like she was giving suggestions on where to go. As he was finishing up the pseudo tour, he was now looking at the rock climbing wall. He was wondering why It looked so challenging to the kids until he saw that there was real lava.

"Hey woah! Don't you think that's a little dangerous!?" Gohan exclaimed as he thought why in the hell it would be a good idea to have real lava for a climbing wall.

"It's to add extra challenge. It wouldn't be training if it wasn't life-threatening." She said calmly like it was something totally normal. 'Sounds like something would put me through.' Gohan thought.

"You know if you think you're so tough you'll do it." Annabeth taunted Gohan as she gestured him to start climbing.

"Nah. I'm good. Besides, what's the point if you can fly?" he said bluntly as he flew above the climbing wall and back.

"Umm Gohan I don't think you should be doing that." She said concerned looking up at the sky.

"What do you mean?" He said innocently. In the distance on a cloudless day, could be heard booming in the sky.

"Well Lord Zeus might not like you flying too high as he might take it as an offense." She said as she dragged Gohan back to the big house.

"Hey! Where are we going? We're not done already now are we?" Gohan asked.

"Did you already forget that you're going through orientation. I have to teach you about the Greek gods and their history." She explained agitatedly.

Gohan found that his time here was very intriguing. He found this far more interesting than anything he ever studied back on his earth. The stories that were told about heroes like Hercules or Orpheus. They told stories about mythical monsters like the three-headed dog.

"You know back in my world the closest thing we had to crazy monsters like these were Dinosaurs and Dragons," Gohan said a bit of wonder that these mythical monster actually exist

"I guess we do have a bit of a tradeoff. Dinosaurs in our world were rendered extinct millions of years ago." Annabeth said wondering what it would be like to live alongside dinosaurs.

They continued on. Annabeth was going crazy trying to teach Greek to someone who isn't a demigod. To say the least, it was a struggle however Gohan learned pretty fast and had a good basis on the knowledge he obtained.

"I guess this isn't any different than learning a different language. I do know three different languages. I guess I'm going to learn my fourth now." Gohan said laughing.

"We're getting off track. I don't have much time remember. I'm leaving tomorrow. I have to get as much information into that brain of yours." She said trying to get Gohan to pay attention again.

"Sorry. I just have my mind elsewhere at the moment. I have a Quest coming up and I can't wait." Gohan said anxiously. He obviously wanted to get out of here as soon as possible to hunt for the sword.

"Jeez, you remind me of Percy. You're only here for a day and you already got a quest." She said a bit jealous that Gohan got a quest so fast.

"I'm sorry. My intention wasn't to show you guys up." Gohan said sympathetically.

"It's alright and besides you have to study on your own for a while. I have to go pack." She was about to leave before Gohan grabbed her arm.

"Wait one last thing. Earlier you said I was on the run. How'd you know that?" Gohan asked almost interrogating Annabeth.

"It was all in Bulma's notebook. She wrote that you were supposed to go back in time to age 779 and get reinforcements to fight Black. If I were to make a guess you're no match for him are you?" She said gaining a frown on Gohan's face.

"Please don't tell the others. If they realized that I could defeat them all at the same time and they're someone out there that even I'm not match for. It'll be chaos."

"Oh, they already know." She said very bluntly

"Wait what! When?" Gohan said wondering how a panic wasn't occurring.

"We all knew before you woke up. We analyzed your notes and deduced that if you're as powerful as you say you are. Then the Gods would have no problem with Black." She declared. Gohan let go of her arm and watched her walk out.

'I don't think it's that simple. If the Kaioshin of my universe were all killed, what chance do the gods of this earth have?' Gohan thought as he was picking up his textbook and left the classroom.

He went back to his corner of Cabin 11 and continued to read up on the history of the gods. He wondered if he could gauge their strengths through their history. Of course, that was very difficult since there were so many kids packing their stuff to go back to school. He continued to read on the creation of the gods until he read about Kronos the crooked one.

'How is one so cruel that he eats his own children? And here I thought Black was pretty bad.' Gohan thought as he closed his book to go in the forest to do some image training on Zeus's fist. He pictured himself fighting Black and how he could possibly defeat him. He tried everything, the only thing that came close was the Destructo Disk. Although now it's not all that useful as Black is expecting it. The Tri-Beam can do little more than slow him down. The Kamehameha doesn't work seeing that Black can do that too only more powerful. Last but not least the Solar flare is having less and less effect on Black the more he uses it. Just like the Destructo Disk, Black knows that's the technique I'll use when I try to escape.

'This is so frustrating. Everything I do doesn't work. He either can do it better than me or just adapts to the technique.' Gohan was thrown out of thought as he heard a voice in his head.

'What do you think you're doing here boy?' The voice was unfamiliar to Gohan he's never heard this voice before and it sounded too real.

'Are you real? Who are you?' Gohan asked the voice

'Oh no. No, I'm just that tiny little sparkle on your shoulder telling what to do. Of course, I'm real!' The voice said angered that he had to explain something so trivial.

'Who are you? You still haven't answered my question.' Gohan said with authority. He wasn't about to be bullied in his own head.

'Oh. I thought that Athena girl would have told you all about me. I was under the impression that you were smart.' The voice mocked Gohan.

'Well if I were to make a guess you're probably Hades. But then what do I know.' Gohan guessed having no clue who this voice was.

'Correct you are. I want you to listen to me very carefully boy. Because I have a proposition for you.' The lord of the dead said trying to bargain with Gohan.

'I'm not listening. This conversation is over' Gohan said almost severing the link.

'Oh, but you'll want to hear this. I can offer you a way to defeat this evil you are running from.' Hades said convincingly

'And I don't want to hear it. This is goodbye.' Gohan said opening his eyes.

'Very well then. But know this, you will regret having made an enemy out of me.' Hades said in a low but threatening tone before his completely being severed to Gohan.

'I won't stoop so low as to team with a lesser evil to take down Black. Hades can't be trusted.' Gohan said as he exited the forest to return to camp.

Gohan wandered around camp aimlessly for a while until he noticed that it was getting dark and campers were starting to go to bed for the night. He decided that it was getting pretty late and decided he should go to bed as well.

As he entered cabin 11 he noticed that everyone wasn't sleeping.

'I wonder why nobody's sleeping. Isn't the barrier supposed to protect them from… Ohh, wait I forgot. Hermes, God of thieves. That explains why everybody's got their stuff so close to them.' Gohan realized as he made his way to his corner of the cabin. He didn't have anything on him to steal so he decided to just go to bed immediately. As he tried to fall asleep he realized that this was going to be a long night. He couldn't stop thinking about Earth. It was keeping him up at night, wondering what Black could be doing now that he wasn't there to protect them from his wrath.

The gods of Olympus were gathering in a meeting as they waited for everyone to show up and discuss the fate Gohan and what his arrival means for Olympus. Zeus was patiently waiting for his son Dionysus to show as he was the only member not present. As they witnessed the vines crawling from the ground they knew he was here. All 12 gods of Olympus were present. Poseidon, Ares, Athena, Artemis, Aphrodite, Demeter, Hermes, Hephaestus, Hera, Apollo, and Dionysus were on their respective thrones waiting for Zeus to begin the meeting.

"My fellow gods now is the time to begin this emergency council to discuss the topic that revolves around the one they call Gohan. He has been given a prophecy and his quest will begin tomorrow." Zeus finished waiting for the response from the other gods.

"Zeus, you can't be serious, you summoned me here simply to talk about a mortal, a man? It's an insult he should even be given a quest in the first place. But now we're having a hearing over one simple mortal? It's ridiculous! " Artemis, goddess of the hunt said with disgust.

"Artemis is right. This mortal has been introduced too much to our existence. It would be best if we dispose of him and leave him for whoever is chasing him to see." Athena said thinking up every possibility of how this could jeopardize their existence.

"I find it glorious that a mortal can finally wield this much power! This is a glorious day for Olympus! We can use him as a weapon to demonstrate our might." Ares said joyously as he thinks he's finally found the perfect warrior to serve him.

"Calm yourself, Ares. He's only arrived but a day ago and you already want to use him for your own personal gain." Poseidon said as he saw this in a more lenient point of view.

"Don't forget he's good looking. I didn't know aliens could be so hot." Aphrodite said going gaga for Gohan.

"Of course you'd said that Aphrodite. You may be the goddess of love but certainly not of self-restraint." Apollo said teasing Aphrodite.

"My fellow gods and goddesses should we not take pity on our new visitor? He's simply trying to protect his world, and if whatever is eradicating is world follows him here, shouldn't we provide assistance?" Said Hera as she was trying to rationalize with the other gods.

"I say we should just hear him out, listen to his problem, help him and he'll be out of our hair in no time," Hermes said as he already had plenty of troubles to deal with.

"I believe he has done nothing wrong as of yet. He deserves a chance." Demeter said calmly.

"Of course you'd say that Demeter you'd think every creature on this earth should have a chance at something. But I suppose your right. This Trunks could provide to be a great asset to us." Hephaestus said taking a glance at the Saiyan hybrid. Zeus was starting to get annoyed.

"That's enough! Honestly, how could we be so divided over a simple mortal?" Zeus yelled questioningly.

"It's because we've never had a mortal be part Human part Alien," Hermes said

"It doesn't change the fact that his intentions are pure. He simply wants to save the world he loves. Is there any fault in that?" Poseidon asked.

"So it's ok if he brings his problems here? I think let him bring this Black he speaks of. I'll pulverize him!" Ares said with impatience. The gods then started to bicker among themselves aimlessly as to how they should decide Gohan's fate. Zeus decided he had enough and decided to speak up.

"Silence! If we are to argue so much, I say we should end this little squabble by putting it to a vote. Those who are opposed to this mortal appearance raise your hand" Zeus said trying to put a swift end to the argument. Zeus, Athena, Artemis, Apollo, and Dionysus all raised their hands against Gohan. Meanwhile, Poseidon, Ares, Hermes, Hera, Demeter, Hephaestus, and Aphrodite raised their hands in favor of Gohan.

"It seems we Gohan shall live to see another day," Poseidon said looking to his fellow gods almost smirking.

"This is an outrage! How could you possibly side yourselves with a mortal? A man!" Artemis asked.

"And why must you always judge a person first simply by their gender? Hera said turning the tables on Artemis.

"Well then if we are to come to an agreement then so be it. We must negotiate some terms." Zeus said.

"Why must we bother ourselves. Quite frankly it's an insult to our power." Said Mr.D impatiently as he wants to drop the subject as soon as possible.

"Zeus if I may. I have a suggestion." Hephaestus said.

"Speak," Zeus commanded.

"What if we make our decision based on what his actions are during his quest? We can have a better idea of his motives then." Hephaestus finished explaining gaining some positive looks from the other gods.

"Very well, are we all in agreement?" Zeus asked the other gods. They all discussed if this would be the right course of action. Ultimately, they settled on the idea of observing Gohan and judging him at a later date.

"Then it is settled. We shall observe Gohan and see if his intentions are with us," Zeus took a pause to look at the sleeping figure of Gohan. "Or against us."

It was the morning in camp Half-Blood and most of the campers have already left to go to school. Less than half of the campers stay all year round. Gohan was just now waking up.

'Looks like I woke up late, everybody's already up.' Gohan thought as he got up and left cabin 11. He felt this place was a bit more lonely since most of the campers left. As he made his way to the big house he felt like a presence was drawing him towards the ocean.

'I swear if Hades tries anything I'll personally show him a one-way ticket towards the sun.' Gohan thought as he made his way towards the beach and saw something shining in the sand. He went to dig it up and saw a drink labeled "G2". He picked it up and saw a note attached to the side and started to read it.

'To Gohan, I suppose this is your first time interacting with a god, must be crazy but I need you to be calm. I left you a present to help you on your quest, some of the other gods have decided you're too dangerous to be kept alive. Your fate rests on the outcome of your quest. It has come to my attention you are having a hard time seeing through the mist. So I left you this drink as a temporary fix. All I ask in return is that you protect my son, Percy. -Poseidon.' As he finished reading he immediately got up and bowed towards the ocean.

"Thank you Poseidon, I won't let you down," Gohan said in gratitude as he turned around and left the beach. He looked at his new drink and decided it might be best to save it for later when he really needs it. If a god personally gave it to him, it must be important.

As he made his way to the big house he was once again distracted but this time by a camper. The camper made his way towards Gohan to tell him something.

"Um excuse me Gohan? We just wanted to tell you that your time machine is located behind the Hephaestus cabin if you were wondering where it was." He finished.

"Oh, thanks! I can't believe i forgot about it. I'm sure Mr.D won't be too upset if I make one little detour." Gohan said as he turned around once again towards the Hephaestus cabin. As he approached the cabin he was greeted by the cabin counselor Charles Beckendorf. Charles didn't say anything to greet Gohan but instead showed him to the tarp covering the time machine.

"We fixed up everything we could without going in depth. I have to, I'd love to meet whoever made this bucket of bolts." Charles said uncovering the tarp to the time machine.

"Thanks ummm Charles was it? Gohan questioned.

"Hey, you actually got my name right. You learn fast." Charles commented as Gohan climbed inside the time machine looking for something.

"By the way you looking for something in there?" He asked as Gohan looked down at him.

"Yeah, in my world we have these things called capsules. I thought i put them in this drawer but it's not there." Gohan said almost panicking.

"Oh! Sorry, didn't mean to worry you. We moved all the contents inside in this box. We didn't want them to get in the way as we fixed your ship. Speaking of which you pack light. For someone who goes through time, I would expect you to pack a bit more stuff with you." Charles said as he took out a small box and put it on a table.

"Oh, I packed a lot actually. I put all my valuables in these capsules you see here." Gohan said as he picked up a small capsule.

"You see back in my world, the same scientist who made my time machine made these capsules. You can put anything inside these things except living organisms and anything bigger than a house." Gohan said.

"You mean I can move all my weapons, valuables, clothes and more inside a tiny capsule like this? Next, you'll tell me there are dinosaurs in your world." Charles said sarcastically.

"Well, actually we do have dinosaurs in our world. They are pretty docile except when hungry or if you are anywhere near their nest." Gohan said with scratching the back of his head.

"Oh. Well, I think I'll shut up now." Charles said with nervously. Gohan then inspected the capsules in the case to see if they were all accounted for.

"All right I gotta go see Mr.D and Chiron about my quest now. See ya, Charles." Gohan told Charles as he once again made his towards the big house for the last time. As he entered the big house he was greeted with the angry face of Mr.D, he had purple flames in his eyes showing the rage on his face. As turned around he noticed Chiron was making a face that screamed: "You're late".

"Do you have any idea how long we waited for you to show up? I had time to play 7 games of cards with Chiron! 7! We said to show up here at 8:00 AM. It's now 11:23!" Mr.D said with his rage increasing ever so slightly.

"I-I'm sorry Mr.D! I didn't even notice the time. I was so worried about what Black was doing in my world I didn't get much sleep." Gohan pleaded trying not to incur Mr.D's wrath

"Oh, so your sorry you say! Oh, then that makes it all better doesn't it? Chiron that just makes it all better. Let me tell you something Gochan, you better watch your back. Who knows, I might turn you into a snail in your sleep." He said threatening a very terrified Gohan.

"Ok, I got the message. I'll never be late for a quest again." Gohan said trying to please Dionysus.

"Ugh. Listen you got some place to get yourself killed and I got things I don't want to do, so let's get this over with." Mr.D said

"All right so... what's the first thing I have to do?" Gohan innocently asked. All he received in response was an evil smile on Mr.D's part.

"Follow me to the arena," Chiron said as walked out of Mr.D office almost pushing Gohan away from Mr.D as he followed suit.

As they walked towards the arena Gohan saw that there were dozens of challenges he had to face. There were gigantic weights, an archery zone and plenty more other contraptions designed to test your abilities. As Gohan was looking around he was confused as to why or how any of these were supposed to be a challenge.

"Umm. Chiron? Don't tell me these are the challenges I'm supposed to take are they? I used to do these things as a child." Gohan said as he gained an unimpressed look from Chiron.

"Hah! You know if you said that yesterday we might not have believed you so we added a bit of extra challenge to certain of these challenges." Chiron said proudly as he felt even Gohan would struggle with these challenges.

"If your even half as powerful as you say you are, then you should be able to clear through these challenges easily. That's not going to be a problem now, is it? Mr.D said with a smile on his face as he looked Gohan directly in the face.

'If only he really knew how powerful I am. I could probably do all this in less than a tenth of a second even without transforming.' Gohan thought with a smirk on his face.

"Hey! Don't you get cocky now boy. You don't know just how difficult these challenges really are." Mr.D said noticing Gohan smirk.

"You should never underestimate a challenge or your opponent Gohan." As Chiron had a more serious frown.

"Yeah. I learned that lesson long ago. I always take a challenge seriously." Gohan said

"Well then, you should have no problems here at all. Let's get started! Your first challenge awaits. Follow me." Chiron said charismatically.

As they walked up to their first challenge Gohan noticed how nobody was here to look at him take the challenges. He wondered if it's because they're finally getting used to the fact that they have an alien in their back pocket. He shrugged it off when Chiron told him that they have better things to do than look at him struggle. As they made their way towards Gohan's first challenge Gohan almost burst laughing barely holding it back.

"Gohan let me introduce to you your first challenge. I see you are amused at this challenge. Oh, don't you worry this will be your most difficult challenge since you arrived here." Chiron said as Gohan gave a more serious look at that last statement. The challenge was a variation of the traditional bench press. It didn't look all that intimidating at first as the weights looked very small at first glance.

"You see those weights are something special. They vary their size based on the strength of the user. This challenge is supposed to test the willpower of the demigods who try it. All you have to do here is lift the bench press once. After that, we can move on." As Chiron finished Gohan had a completely serious expression on his face.

"But. I must warn you Gohan. There has never been a mortal who has completed this challenge before. It is impossible because the metal does not allow to be in motion by the hands of mortals." Chiron finished with a more sympathetic look on his face. Something on his expression told Gohan he might fail this test even with all his world breaking might. But Gohan didn't waver.

"Don't you worry Chiron. I will prove you wrong. I will stop at nothing to save my future." Gohan said with a stern expression." He said as he was stretching out his arms preparing for the upcoming challenge. As he laid down he saw how little faith Chiron had in him as he looked down to the ground mumbling something under his breath. Gohan was now breathing heavily.

'This is unreal. Why do I feel such pressure from this metal? I feel as though it's going to crush me at any moment. I can't lose focus. I have to do this.' Gohan thought already sweating without even starting the challenge. Chiron then continued to move behind the bar to move it barely above Gohan.

"Very well. Let the first test of the gods begin!" Chiron yelled as he quickly let go of the bar. Gohan feeling cocky tried to end this challenge immediately realized just exactly what he was up against. The bar dropped faster than a rock in water unto his body. He struggled to even budge the bar straining himself to lift this weight.

"You aren't looking at this from the right point of view Gohan! This isn't about raw strength! It's about looking deep within yourself. Why is it that you're doing this!" Chiron yelled trying to get Gohan to move the bar.

Gohan was grinding his teeth. He never felt pressure like this before since Black. Gohan yelled out a thunderous roar of power blowing away Chiron and Mr.D but he didn't stop there. He continued to yell as he was giving off a white sharp aura around him lighting up the entire camp. His scream was that of pure power as he was giving it everything he had. His power was then starting to crack the barrier and was shaking the entire camp to its core. The only reason his power didn't shake the entire world was that the barrier was barely containing his strength.

'I don't understand! I'm giving this thing my 100% and it won't even budge! I can't fail here! Not now! I've come so far!' Gohan thought as he closed his eyes. He remembered all his long hard fought battles that led him to this point. He saw the androids wrecking havoc across the world. The terrible loss he received from Cell. Babidi and Dabura collecting energy from across the world's best fighters. He then saw Black killing everyone including Bulma. Gohan was then finally remembered all his friends who got him this far. Piccolo, Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, Chiaotzu, Vegeta. He was finally pushed over the edge when he remembered his father Goku, his wife and daughter; Videl and Pan but most of all his best friend and student Trunks. He can still see his crying face as he was limp in his arms. That's when Gohan lost it.

"I won't lose! I will not fail! I refuse!" Gohan yelled one last time as he unleashes his white glow on the entire camp blinding everyone. The cracks in the barrier were now getting more visible. Mr.D and Chiron were struggling to stay on their feet as they watched Gohan roar with power never before seen by mortals, monsters or gods alike. His power was creating a deep crater in the ground sending rocks and rubble in every direction. His power was now skyrocketing as he finally broke a hole in the barrier and dust came flying everywhere.

"Gohan!" Chiron yelled as he stood up waiting for the dust to settle. When it finally cleared Chiron was starstruck. The dust revealed a large crater as if a star had fallen from space In the center revealed Gohan sweating and gasping for air and what was above him was even more shocking. He was lifting the magical metal in full stretch. Gohan then struggled to keep it in the air as he moved it over to its resting spot.

"Well that was unexpected," Mr.D said uneasily to the sheer strength the Saiyan had. Gohan then just continued to lie there breathing heavily. He then turned his head around to see the awestruck face of Chiron.

"By the gods… Never in all my years have I seen a mortal overpower the spell of the gods. It's unimaginable." Chiron said as he rushed to Gohan's side to give him some water. Gohan then proceeded to get up to his feet although struggling to do so.

"It's only natural if you're struggling to stand up. That metal was infused with the power of the Gods along with a spell so that a mortal could never lift it. Until today." Chiron said explaining Gohan's lack of balance.

"I've never felt such pressure in my life. It was as if I was pushing against a mirror of myself." Gohan said as he looked back to the crater and the dumbbell.

"I'm sorry for all the damages I've caused. It seems I can't help but be destructive." Gohan said with a guilty look.

"Yes well, we'll have to work on that. But for now, you'll have to suppress that power of yours when you begin your quest." Chiron said looking to Mr.D who was still brushing the dust from his clothes.

"Wait what do you mean? What about all of those other challenges?" Gohan asked questioningly.

"Well, you see Gowan. If you take a closer look, you destroyed them all. So by extension, you conquered them all. Do you get where I'm going with this?" Mr.D said trying not to sound impressed at yet another feat under Gohan's belt.

"I'm getting my quest?" Gohan said trying not to sound excited.

"Oh good lord yes! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to see the damage that you caused and see if I can do nothing about it." Mr.D said as he turned around to leave.

"Chiron I have a feeling that he doesn't like me very much," Gohan said with a very big smile.

"It is not wise to anger a god Gohan. Even if you overcome the spell of the first challenge." Chiron said nervously looking up at the sky seeing black thunder clouds covering the sky.

"I think it's possible that Zeus doesn't like me very much," Gohan said also looking up at the sky.

"Well you see, ever since you arrived you have continued to prove the impossible is possible. Lord Zeus might not like what your arrival means for the future of Olympus. He might believe that you are after his throne." Chiron said as they walked to the armory to get Gohan ready for his quest.

"I don't want Zeus' throne. I just want to become stronger so that I can defeat Black and save my future. No matter what." Gohan finished as they arrived at the armory still shaken up by his display of power from earlier.

"Well then if that's the case, pick out your weapons and armor because you have a quest to start," Chiron said as he opened the door revealing a long hall of weapons varying in all kind of sizes.

"Pick your loadout. For you will need it if you plan on suppressing your power against the monsters outside the barrier.

And that marks the end of chapter 3 as we move along to start Gohan's quest. Will he be able to save his future from total annihilation? Will he fail in finding the sword in time? Tune in next Saturday to find out in the next chapter of The search for a hero.
