From a strange arrival to a party invitation. Unfortunately the peace the Z-Fighters had gotten use to is over and they can only blame themselves. And what is this strange sickness?

Battle of Gods: Gohan & Hawk Style

Friendly Visitor Chapter 2

"What's the Meeting of the Gods?" Hawk asked nervously.

"It's where all the remaining Gods and Immortals, minus the Kais, go to discuss the past century." The Playmaker answered.

"Why don't the Kais go?" Gohan asked.

"You may have noticed that the Kais power levels aren't that high. They are mearly there to teach the strong and worthy."

"Are we invited?" Tai joked.

"Let me check." The Playmaker said, taking him seriously. He pulled up a hologram and looked over it. "As a matter of fact you and your brother are. So are Prince Vegeta and Kakarrot."

"My dad is going?" "I'm going?" Gohan and Hawk shouted at the same time.

"That's what this says." The Playmaker answered.

They were stunned silent for a moment. "When is this taking place?" Gohan managed to ask.

"In...six months. Don't worry, most people of them are nice."

"I guess I should go tell my dad." Gohan said in a daze.

"What do we do about Kirby?" Tai asked.

"My ship is bwoken." Kirby said.

"Oh dear. I guess I'll have to fix it. Hawk my boy, do you mind looking after him?" The Playmaker asked.

"I guess I could." Hawk said reluctantly.

"Great. Now why don't you head home and rest." The Playmaker suggested.

"Good idea." Gohan said.

Hawk, Gohan and Kirby headed outside and took off for home. "Tai, make sure he doesn't get into trouble." The Playmaker told him.

"That's kinda my job."

...

Gohan and Hawk called Goku and Vegeta to Hawk's house. They met at Hawk's house because he was still being yelled at for bringing a strange alien home. When Jess was done, Hawk trudged over to the couch and sat next to Gohan. "What the hell is that?" Vegeta asked, referring to Kirby who was trying to climb onto the couch.

"This is Kirby. He's a Star Warrior." Gohan said.

"A Star Warrior? Star Warriors were destroyed decades ago." Vegeta said, not believing Gohan.

"It's twue! Kirby is a Star Warrior!" Kirby cheered, finally getting on the couch.

Vegeta stared intently at Kirby for a moment. "It's immature and inexpirienced, plus it's giving off a strange Ki. Maybe it is a Star Warrior."

"So is it strong?" Goku asked excitedly.

"I can't tell." Vegeta answered.

"Guys, Kirby isn't why we called you here." Hawk interjected.

"Then why are we here?" Vegeta asked.

"Apparently, you and my Dad are invited to the Meetings of the Gods." Gohan told them.

Vegeta was stunned silent, however Goku wasn't. "Is that some kind of party?"

"Kakarrot you Idiot, this is the most important gathering in the Universe! The most influential beings attend this gathering!" Vegeta shouted.

"So like the strongest guys in the Universe?" Goku asked excitedly.

"Technically, yes." Vegeta answered.

"Alright! I can't wait!" Goku exclaimed.

Vegeta then turned his attention to Gohan and Hawk. "How do you two know about this meeting?"

"The Playmaker." Hawk answered.

"Who the hell is that?"

"I honestly couldn't tell you. My brother introduced me awhile ago. All I really know is have seems to know everything going on in the Universe. Oh yeah and he's incredible vague and crypic."

"Interesting." Vegeta sat back and thought about who the Playmaker could be.

"So when do we get to go?" Goku asked.

"In six months." Gohan answered.

"Great. That will give me time to train." Goku said with determination.

...

After their meeting, Hawk and Jess had the task of adjusting to Kirby. He was a kind creature, with only the best intentions. However he ate as much as a Saiyan and broke things when he tried to help out. Luckily Chi Chi grew mass quantities of vegetables and watermellons, so they didn't lose money to their food bill.

Kirby wasn't the only change however. About two weeks had past and everyone began to notice something strange happening. Several of the Z-Fighters were aging backwards and Pan was aging forward. Even Tai was effected. Goku and Vegeta were the first to notice this when their tails grew back. Then Gohan and Mirai's tails grew back. Hawk's hair grew long until it was back to the way it was. And Pan became more...lady like. When King Kai and Dende didn't know what the cause was, the turned to the Eternal Dragon. However, when they gathered the Dragon Balls at Capsule Corp., they noticed the balls all had cracks in them. After a short debate they decided to use them anyways. "Arise Shenron!" Goku called. The Clouds went dark, but instead of a bright light coming from the balls, black smoke came pouring out. "What's going on?" Out from the smoke appeared a black winged dragon. "Wh-who are you?" Goku asked.

"I am that which is form from negative energy. I am Black Smoke Shenron. You have used the Dragon Balls for your own selfishness for too long and now you shall be punished." The seven Dragon Balls ascended to the sky and scattered. "In my place, seven Shadow Dragons will use their powers to destroy this planet. Now farewell."

"Wait!" Goku shouted. The Dragon did so he could hear what this pitiful warrior could say. Goku knelt before him. "I know we've overused the Dragon Balls. But for the most part, we've tried to use them to help people. I'm sorry we've caused this, but I have just one more request. Could you tell us what is wrong with us?" Goku pleaded.

The Dragon was quiet for a moment. "Because of your sincere apology, I will tell you. You are suffering from Time Sickness. It's a disease caused by traveling through timelines on many occasions. The effects cause people to age forwards or backwards until they are nothing. It is also extremely contagious."

"How do we cure it?" Goku asked.

"I told you what was wrong, but I won't tell you how to cure it. That is up to you to find out." With that the Dragon vanished.

"So much for our time of peace." Goten said.

"Goten, this is not time for jokes." Hawk scolded.

"Who are you, my Mom?"

"No, she would have decked you."

"Calm down, we just need to think of a plan." Piccolo said.

"For starters, someone needs to start hunting down those dragons." Vegeta said.

"I'm the strongest so I should probably do it." Goku said.

"Who the hell named you the strongest?" Vegeta shouted.

"Well only me and Gotenks can turn Super Saiyan 3." Goku answered.

"I don't think that will be enough." Appearing from nowhere was the Playmaker.

"Great, this just got more complicated." Hawk sighed.

"What do you mean?" Gohan asked the Playmaker.

"Super Saiyan 3, Vegeta's Majin powers and Gohan's Mystic transformation are all about the same level of power. However, the Shadow Dragons are much stronger." The Playmaker explained.

"What about Goku's God Saiyan?" Hawk asked.

"You mean the form he fought Bills in? That was mearly a False God Form."

"What the hell is that suppose to mean?" Vegeta shouted.

"I mean that it wears off. True God Saiyan has three qualifications. Being pure of heart, being able to obtain all levels of Super Saiyan and having a tail of course. Goku has two of the three qualities." The Playmaker explained.

"Wait, so you're saying there are more levels of Super Saiyan?" Goku asked in excitement.

"Correct."

"Then how do we obtain these levels?" Vegeta asked.

"You and Goku are the closest to obtaining the next level, but you would have to go through an incredible amount of training. Plus you Vegeta, would have to go through a purification ritual. Unfortunately that training could take years with you at your current strength."

"Hold on just a minute!" Bulma interjected. "I've been working on an invention for Vegeta that should drastically increase his power level temperarily."

"Really? What do you call it?" The Playmaker asked.

"It's called the Blutz Wave Cannon. It replicates the power of the moon one-hundred fold." Bulma explain confidently.

"Interesting. That could work on Goku, but Vegeta would have to under go the Purification Ritual."

"What kind of ritual?" Vegeta asked.

"Drink this." The Playmaker said, tossing him a small bottle.

"I thought you said it was a ritual?" Vegeta asked.

"I found a way to get around the whole ritual part. Now Mrs. Briefs could you retrieve your machine?" The Playmaker requested.

"What about the rest of us?" Gohan asked.

"Gohan if you Gotenks and Mirai team up, you should be able to take down at least one dragon." The Playmaker told them.

"What about Hawk and Piccolo?" Mirai asked.

"Hmm, bring Mr. Buu along as well and split into two groups. Gohan, Hawk and Piccolo. And Gotenks, Mirai and Mr. Buu. If Gotenks' group can't defeat their dragon before their fusion wears off, Mr. Buu's durability should hold out until you can fuse again."

Hawk took out a capsule and tossed it on the ground. From the smoke appeared his sword case. He grabbed a katana and put it on his back. "Okay, then let's go Dragon Hunting."
