It appears that a lot of people like the idea of Gohan in a Fairy Tail crossover. Thanks for your support! I might even make this tie in with Bojack Unbound, so I'd like to hear your opinions on that idea. I'll try to upload as quick as I can, but school comes first... so... yeah. I was thinking, since everyone in Fairy Tail has a theme, I'd give Gohan his theme being, "Super Dragon Soul (Takayoshi Tanimoto, Dragon Ball Kai)"
So enough with the babbling and let's start-up this next chapter...
Chapter 3, A Monkey and A Dragon
Ten months have passed since the Tower of Heaven incident and Gohan has become somewhat, more used to Earthland.
Gohan was swimming in a river, searching for fish and managed to grab a huge one. After he caught it, he proceeded to cook it and within a few minutes, ate it down to the bones. He missed his mom's cooking but he improvised plenty.
He wore an outfit similar to Goku's Yardrat outfit only that there wasn't a shoulder pad. He received that, along with a bag of senzu beans, green beans that can make a person feel full for about ten days, not only that but they heal wounds and restore energy. A wish was made to Shenron to send these things to Gohan even though he didn't ask Piccolo for them. Piccolo said that it was the least they could do for Gohan, after he defeated Cell.
Gohan did his usual regiment, three thousand push ups, three thousand sit ups, ten Kamehameha waves, and then he'd spar with the air. However Gohan soon heard a massive roar "Gee, I wonder what that was?" Gohan said to himself as he flew into the air
He was surprised to see a giant red dragon flying across the sky. "Wow, that's one huge dragon! Not as big as Shenron, but he has a much larger power level, in fact he might be as strong as dad..." Gohan said with excitement in his voice
Gohan, then teleported to it, and said with a big smile on his face "Hi!"
The dragon stopped in surprise, and responded "Uhhh... Hi kid?" The dragon said
There was a moment of silence, but the dragon broke it and asked "How exactly did you find me, and how are you flying without wind magic?"
Gohan had a blank look on his face and responded calmly "I sensed a huge power around here, and as it turns out, it was you. As for the flying, it's not magic, it's ki."
"This... kid, I can smell an unusual scent coming from him... He's strong, real strong, maybe not as powerful as I, but easily more powerful than Natsu, and those two other annoying dragons... but something seems wrong... that fact that he can use ki is one thing but this boy seems to have an innocent, sorta sweet smell to me... could this kid be completely pure hearted?" The dragon thought to himself
"Uh, excuse me Mr. Dragon, but are you okay? Gohan asked, causing the dragon to snap back to reality "Oi, sorry kid fazed out there for a moment... anyways what's your name, squirt?"
"It's Gohan!" Gohan replied
"Ah, well I am the one and only, IGNEEL, THE LEGENDARY FIRE DRAGON!"
Gohan stared in awe "Oh, cool!" he shouted joyfully; Igneel couldn't help but smile at the kid, whenever he introduced himself like that, people would cringe, but not Gohan, he was impressed.
"Y'know you kinda remind me of my son, Natsu. You're bit older, but you fit the picture rather nicely." Igneel said
"Really? Where is your son?" Gohan said with excitement, hoping he would meet him soon.
"...I had to... leave him alone...but, it isn't of your concern!" Igneel yelled in a rage, shocking Gohan
"Wait a second, why? You have to of had a reason right!?" Gohan yelled back
"Listen kid, it's personal." Igneel replied
"Hmmm?..." Gohan's serious face turned into a mischievous smile, making Igneel's sweat drop "I know... if I beat you in a fight, then will you tell me?" Gohan asked with a confident smile
"Dream on, kid. You probably couldn't beat me in a million yea-" Igneel was about to finish when he noticed that Gohan had taken a fighting stance
"Alright then kid, you asked for it... Let's go!" Igneel roared as he charged at Gohan
Gohan dodged and proceeded to fire ki blasts at Igneel, who then sweeped him with his tail, knocking him out of the air. Gohan recovered and thought "He's strong, that's for sure."
Gohan then teleported towards Igneel, and sent a barrage of punches and kicks into Igneel's face, enraging him. Igneel countered by striking Gohan with his wing which barely fazed Gohan. Igneel pulled his head back and released a massive blast of flame "FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR!"
"WOAH!" Gohan shouted as he jumped out of the way, he then countered by firing ki blasts, each one making direct hits into Igneel's face, Igneel then launched the giant flamethrower again. "Woaaagh! FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR!"
"Here I go!" Gohan thought as he barrel rolled away from the blast, and charged at Igneel, only to uppercut him hard in the face. This sent the dragon farther into the air. "It's no use!" Gohan said to himself as Igneel swung a flaming claw at him "FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!" which hit Gohan, dead clean in the face
"Arrgh!" Gohan yelled in pain, he recovered only to see that Igneel was charging at him again, ready to bite at Gohan, which he managed to dodge. Gohan unleashed a massive flurry of ki blasts, causing Igneel to roar in pain.
Igneel swung at Gohan with his tail, but Gohan caught it and slammed it down with his fist, he then continued by slamming Igneel on the back, causing the dragon to drop down. Igneel swooped back up and attempted to launch another Fire Dragon's Roar which caught Gohan off guard. Gohan got into a blocking position and took the blast directly this time. To Igneel's surprise, Gohan barely had a scratch on him, in a rage, Igneel charged both of his fists with flames.
"FIRE DRAGON'S BRILLIANT FLAME" roared Igneel as he launched the flames at Gohan. Gohan then became surrounded by a golden aura and hid hair turned blonde which shocked Igneel. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Gohan roared as he then rammed headfirst into Igneel's flames creating a massive explosion that could be seen miles away.
One particular pink haired boy happened to see it. "WOW, COOL!" the pink haired boy shouted, "Maybe that's Igneel!"
Back in the fight, Gohan managed to breakthrough Igneel's attack, "I'LL END THIS!" Gohan cried, as he charged up a golden ball of ki in his hand and rammed Igneel with it
"MASENKO-HA" Gohan roared as the ki exploded into a massive beam that shocked Igneel "IS THIS THE TRUE POWER OF KI!?" Igneel thought as the golden beam then struck him, knocking the dragon out in the process.
Gohan managed to catch the dragon before it fell to the ground. He gave Igneel a senzu bean, and the dragon awoke in surprise. "Wait a second, what just happened?" The dragon moaned confusedly
"I won." Gohan said calmly as he gave Igneel the peace sign
Igneel sighed, not only at his defeat at the hands of an eleven year old, btu at that fact that he had to hold his end of the bargain.
"Well you see I-" Igneel was cut off by Gohan
"You don't have to explain, Mr. Igneel, I know you did it for a good reason. I just made up that bet to get you to fight me, cause from what I've heard, dragons are supposed to be rare yet powerful creatures. All I wanted to do was test my own strength against one." Gohan concluded with his trademark innocent smile
Igneel couldn't help but laugh. "You really are something kid, you know that?"
"My dad left me awhile back, and said I was strong enough to be on my own, so here I am." Gohan said
"Really? What was your father's name?" Igneel asked
"Son Goku." Gohan replied
"Did you say, Goku!?" Igneel asked with his mouth hitting the floor
"Yep, one and only." Gohan said, mimicking Igneel with his introduction.
"W-wait, you don't even seem tired and you managed to knock me out, were you holding back the entire time!?" Igneel screamed in surprise
"Almost, at least until the very end" Gohan responded in a blank tone as if he didn't do anything special
"Scratch that, this kid is a monster... I'm done, no really I'm just done" Igneel thought to himself as he gazed at Gohan with a wide-eyed expression
"Ha ha, you look funny!" Gohan said as he pointed at Igneel's face; "Shut it, kid..." Igneel muttered
"Hey Igneel... can I ask you something?" Gohan asked in a somewhat confused tone
"Sure kid, shoot." Igneel responded
"Why is my dad so acknowledged here... I mean it's not like he's ever been to this dimension."
"Well kid you see, a long time ago, years before my time, a book was written titled The Odyssey of Son Goku. Ya see kid, there is a nexus in time and space known as the otherworld..."
"Oh, I know about that, my dad went there before he died his second time!" Gohan interrupted
"Goku died twice?..." Igneel asked
"Yeah, the first time was when I was four, he sacrificed himself to beat his brother, Raditz then I was taken in by a friend of ours, Piccolo."
"Pi-Piccolo!? You mean Demon King Piccolo!?" Igneel replied in shock
"That's what he used to be known as but he's actually nicer in person, or at least till I met him." Gohan said with a smile "Now, that I think about it.. can you tell me how the story goes?"
So Igneel told Gohan all about the story. "Oh I see the the problem, the story stops after my dad beats Piccolo in the World Martial Arts Tournament... it never says what happened next." Gohan said
Gohan began to tell Igneel the rest of the story, up to where he got transported to Earthland. Igneel could only look at Gohan in shock "This boy has been through so much in only eleven years, most people would go crazy... it would also explain why this kid is more powerful than most S-Class mages... Super Saiyans.. so mysterious... Shenron... the dragon balls..." Igneel thought to himself.
"Uh, you're making that face again, Mr. Igneel." Gohan said, this time slightly annoyed
"Uh, wha- oh! Uh sorry, Gohan just trying to take in what you told me... so you say there is a level beyond that of a Super Saiyan... could I see it?" Igneel asked
Gohan was silent for a few minutes, but then spoke up "Even if I wanted to, I can't... I don't really know how to trigger the transformation... the power comes in response to a need, not a desire... I have to create that need." Gohan responded in a depressed tone
"...No problem kid! In fact maybe I'll teach you a few a techniques, you can't use magic but you can use can use ki, allowing you to learn the Dragon Fist abilities!" Igneel said in a happy tone, trying to make Gohan smile again
And boy did it work. "Really!? Oh thank you, Igneel! I'm definitely excited now!" Gohan joyfully yelled
"However you must swear that if you meet Natsu, don't tell him about me as I do not wish to be found, also... I want you to watch over him in my absence." Igneel said
"I promise, Igneel... So when do we start?" Gohan said with excitement in his voice; "RIGHT NOW!" Igneel roared happily as the two began their training.
A month has passed since then, and Gohan has mastered the Ryugekiken techniques
Igneel has grown closer to Gohan, he'd learned of his incredible talents, wisdom, and fierce appetite. However, the dragon would soon have to leave Gohan, just as he did Natsu.
"Gohan, I must finally take my leave..." Igneel sadly said, as he braced himself for Gohan's pleas
Gohan was in a meditative state, but soon spoke up, but much to Igneel's surprise he wasn't crying, of begging Igneel to stay. "I understand Mr. Igneel, I won't keep you from what you have to do... Now that I've met you, I'll always be with you in spirit" Gohan said as he gave Igneel a smile.
Igneel flew off, but what Gohan didn't see was that the dragon was truly crying, tears of sadness yet at the same time... joy. "Damn you kid... I'm gonna miss ya, Gohan." Igneel thought to himself
"Man, what to do now?" Gohan yawned in boredom, he then started to think about Igneel, Gildarts, Erza, Rob, and Makarov
"Hey, I know, I'll join Fairy Tail!" Gohan shouted in excitement
That next day, Gohan changed into his orange gi that Makarov had gotten him, readied his knapsack and set off to Magnolia, so that he could cash in on Makarov's offer and fulfill his promise to Erza to join Fairy Tail.
This one took slightly longer to upload, but as I said: school comes first. Anyways I'd like some more feedback and even a few ideas. Thanks for your patience!
Next Chapter: Gohan will return to Magnolia so that he can join Fairy Tail, who will he meet and what new experiences will Gohan face?
