Chapter 3: Hidden Power
It had been a year since Chichi met her alien father-in-law, and Gohan was technically old enough to train. Chichi made Goku promise that he wouldn't be too hard on the boy, in which she earned the traditional son grin.
Goku had taken Gohan to a roomy area in the woods. Gohan had long wild hair reaching his back, it's jet black color being the most unique. He had worn the fighting gi his father had worn all those years ago. "So, Gohan. While we're out training, wanna go camping?" Gohan's eyes lit up, "Do I!?" Goku smiled at his son. "Watch this!" Goku casually walked over to a nearby tree.
"It's my dream for you to get this strong." Goku proceeded with a shout, ramming his fist onto the tree, in which it fell down solemnly. Goku lifted the tree and tossed it high in the air before bounding above it and chopping it to pieces. This earned Gohan's interest. "Wow daddy! You're strong!" Goku slid his finger under the bridge of his nose, "Heh, you heard the stories. Alright.. It's time to teach you how to use your energy!" But just at that moment, a figure emerged from the shadows. A rather large one.
It was a bear.
Gohan squealed in fright as the bear made it's way towards him. "DADDY!" Gohan yelped, earning Goku's calm happy face twist into anger. "Hold on, Gohan!" Goku shouted as he soared to the ground, but he was too late. The bear was pouncing on Gohan. All that can be heard was Gohan's shout.
...
"You sense that?" Kami, the guardian of the Earth had his eyes glued to below onto the large view. His assistant, Mister Popo, nodded. "That's Goku's boy... How did he-" "I don't know, but it's incredibly strong."
...
With blinding speed, Gohan was shrouded in a red aura as his energy exploded. The bear bounded back smoothly, but he wasn't out of danger just yet. The boy shrieked with rage as he was suddenly in the air, and with ultimate precision, managed a kick that dangerously cracked the bear's skull. The nasty cracking noise filled the air with unease as the 1,000 pound bear violently jerked onto the ground.
Goku's eyes widened as he stared awestruck at his son. "G...G-Gohan?" he spoke, which knocked the boy from his trance, causing him to run behind a tree.
"BEAR!"
Goku slowly floated towards Gohan and patted his head as he spoke with a croak. "Don't you remember what you did, Gohan? You beat him..." "What? No way! I'm not strong dad." Goku shook his head. "No, son. You got some hidden power in there... We'll train to let it out. Whaddya say!?" Gohan grinned as he nodded quickly, and Goku stood. "Let's train!"
Gohan appears to be able to bite more than we anticipated. Will it come in handy one day? Find out next time on Dragon Ball : A Hero's Redemption!
