A Hybrids Journey

Chapter 4: Guardians of Otherworld

A/N: Thanks for the reviews again guys! The last chapter had the highest number of reviews/favorites/alerts yet, it really made me want to start writing this chapter even faster. So here it is…

"Got it…" Gohan said out loud as he vanished from the planet known as Yardrat.

"GOHAN!" Goku shouted as his son suddenly materialized in front of him.

"Hey dad." Gohan said softly smiling at his father, no matter how many times Goku disappointed him, or made him mad he was still his father, and he still loved him.

Goku grabbed his son and pulled him into a huge fatherly hug. "Gohan I want you to meet everyone!" Goku said gesturing to all of the other people that where around him.

Goku was on the Grand Kai's planet, which was filled with all of the fighters of otherworld, currently almost everyone was training in pairs.

"I especially want you to meet Pikkon." Goku said gesturing to the green man standing next to him who resembled Piccolo so much. "He has become one of my best friends! He is an excellent sparring partner, he could even give you a run for your money." Goku said patting his green friend on his back

Gohan almost said 'Doubt it' but was interrupted by Pikkon speaking.

"Not to interrupt this touching moment Goku, but your son is not dead he does not belong here." Pikkon said glaring at Gohan

"It's ok Pikkon he's my son!" Goku said giving his famous Son grin.

"Hey dude, I'm afraid our green friend is right, this is not a place for mortals." The Grand Kai said as he walked up to them.

"Sir please, I just came to talk to my father." Gohan said to the Grand Kai, he didn't know who he was but he could tell that whoever he was, he was very important.

"Oh come on Grand Kai, let me talk to my son for a bit." Goku argued

"You know your job Goku…" The Grand Kai said dropping his cool demeanor, it sounded like he was giving Goku an order…

"What does he mean by job, Dad?" Gohan asked confused

"Well you see…ah" Goku nervously scratched his head before he continued "You see all of the fighters here on this planet are considered guardians of otherworld. Since I am the strongest, and Pikkon here is the second strongest we are like the leaders… You see son it is our job to make sure that people stay where they belong. Usually it involves stopping people from escaping from hell, or fighting some super bad guy trying to kill one of the Kais, but I guess it also means, I am supposed to kick you out of here…" Goku said sadly to his son.

"Great! I'll just leave then!" Gohan snapped placing two hands on his forehead making it look like he was going to instant transmission out of otherworld. "Oh wait one more thing, I'm not leaving without you." Gohan said darkly.

"Sorry kid but your dad belongs to my army now, you can't revive him." The Grand Kai said sternly.

"I know who you are now! You're the Grand Kai, the dragon said you are the reason why he couldn't revive my dad!" Gohan yelled as he flared his power level and took a step towards the Grand Kai

"You will not touch him." Pikkon said as he stepped in-between Gohan and the Grand Kai.

Goku was worried, this was not the son he remembered. He seemed hurt, and troubled he wondered if it was his fault? "Gohan why do you need me back so much anyway?" Goku asked trying to distract his son, he didn't know what would happen if his son killed the Grand Kai.

It did the trick Gohan spun around to face Goku again… "Why do I need you back? Maybe it's because since you died, mom tried locking me up in my room, if she had her way I would be weaker then Yamcha, and never see the light of day. Maybe it is because of all that has happened I was forced to run away. Maybe it is because you have another son that needs a father…" Gohan said the last part slowly to have maximum affect.

Goku was stunned, had ChiChi really tried locking Gohan up? Gohan ran away? He had another son? All that was running through his mind as he said. "I'm sorry son, if I would of known this would happen I would of returned."

Gohan calmed down a bit, his Dad was truly sorry. "Then you will come home then?" Gohan asked excitedly

"I…I…" Goku looked over at the Grand Kai before he continued "I'm sorry son, but I have a new job now, I promised the Grand Kai." Goku answered he sounded completely dejected.

"But I need you! They need you dad." Gohan argued back.

"I wish I could, you need to go back home son and be there for them." Goku said trying to make best of the situation.

"No that's your job." Gohan said flatly he wasn't giving in.

"GOKU, do your job now." The Grand Kai said smugly he had won.

"Gohan, you have to leave now, please I don't want to make you." Goku said, Gohan had never seen his father look so upset, he felt terrible for him, but he wasn't going to make it easy on him.

"I told you dad I am only leaving with you." Gohan said

"Then I will have to make you, I'm so sorry son." Goku said as he flashed into his Super Saiyan state.

"Good luck…" Gohan said as he copied his dad and powered up into a Super Saiyan. "By the way Grand Kai, after I defeat my dad… I will defeat all of your fighters and make you release my dad from this imprisonment you have him in." Gohan said glaring at the Grand Kai and Pikkon. He was dead serious, Gohan would not be leaving this planet unless Goku was revived.

The Grand Kai was shocked the young warrior in front of him was nothing like the one in the stories that Goku told. He felt sorry for the boy but he would not let Goku go, he was the prize of his otherworld fighters he belonged with him now.

"Please son…" Goku said almost on the verge of tears, he didn't want to hurt Gohan.

"I'm taking you home dad." Gohan said as he got into his fighting stance.

'I hope you win Gohan' Goku thought to himself as he charged his Son.

Gohan smiled as he watched his father charge him, it seemed to go in slow motion. 'This is going to be fun' he thought. Gohan fazed out of sight and through a kick right to Goku's gut, which was blocked at the last second.

Goku pushed up on Gohan's blocked leg and continued his movement as to elbow Gohan in the face, his elbow met nothing but air. Goku was immediately rewarded with a burning pain in his back as Gohan made contact with a strong kick.

"Not bad son, but it still won't be enough to win." Goku exclaimed, recovering from the kick he powered up to his max as a Super Saiyan level one.

"I agree." Gohan answered as he matched his dad's power level perfectly.

The two warriors exchanged blow for blow. They were perfectly even, both mastering their Super Saiyan transformations long ago.

"HAA" Gohan shouted as he sent a ki blast into Goku's face, which sent him flying backwards.

"Help him!" The Grand Kai ordered to Pikkon. He was starting to get worried that he may lose his prize fighter.

"HAAAAAA" Pikkon shouted as he powered up to his max. His power no easily dwarfed the two Saiyans in their current state. He wasted no time and snuck up behind Gohan and hit him as hard as he could with a double axe handle sending the hybrid flying into the ground nearly out cold.

Gohan was livid! He had just been hit from behind by Pikkon, to make it worse it was a good hit, and he had lost a huge amount of power!

"How dare you! This is between me and my dad!" Gohan roared as he stood back up slowly powering up.

"It is my job as an Otherworld Guardian to help Goku defeat you." Pikkon said smugly, he had enjoyed giving the cheap shot.

"I should kill you. You think you're strong huh? Well you're nothing! My dad doesn't need your help, look he's completely unharmed from that blast." Gohan said gesturing to Goku who had now recovered from Gohan's blast, he looked disgusted at Pikkon and the Grand Kai.

"Yeah Pikkon two on one really isn't fair, besides we're just warming up right now." Goku said to his training partner.

"Don't worry dad, I'll take care of it." Gohan said as he shot a smile to his father.

"I hope this teaches you to never mess with a Saiyan again. HAAAAAAAA!" Gohan yelled as over dramatically powered up into his Super Saiyan two transformation. He didn't just stop there, he kept going to his limit, and even surpassing it. It was foolish, very foolish he would need that energy to fight Goku but he wanted to prove a point to Pikkon.

"Ready…Set…Go…" Gohan said cockily, he couldn't help it, this transformation always made him act this way. Gohan moved so fast Pikkon didn't know what hit him. With his left fist Gohan hit him right under the chin knocking his head straight back almost snapping his neck. With his right fist he hit Pikkon square in the temple sending him flying down to the ground right at the feet of the Grand Kai knocked out cold.

"Well there's your second strongest fighter taken care of." Gohan shouted down to the Grand Kai.

"Well Dad, I know you can ascend. If Vegeta can you should be able to." Gohan said relaxing a bit as he powered down from pushing past his limits.

"Amazing Gohan, too bad you wasted so much energy on that show of yours. HAAAA!" Goku yelled as he clenched his fists together and powered up to his Super Saiyan two stage.

Gohan could sense his dad's full power now, and knew Goku wasn't as strong as him, so he powered down a little more to match his dad's power. With out wasting anymore time Gohan charged his dad head on.

"Hiya….hiya…hiya…" Both warriors yelled as they through punches and kicks like crazy at each other. Neither one having a clear advantage.

The fight dragged on for hours, it was more of a spar then a fight. Neither one of them wanted to do any real damage to the other. Even though much was at stake, Gohan couldn't bring himself to power up to his max and hurt his dad. By this time of the fight he didn't know if he would even be able to power up anymore, he had been loosing energy like crazy fighting at this high of a level.

"Hiya!" Gohan yelled as he through a punch aimed for Goku's face, Goku caught it with ease. Gohan countered with trying to punch with his other fist, Goku caught that too.

"Getting tired son?" Goku said, right before he head butted Gohan right in the nose.

"AHHH!' Gohan yelled 'That hurt!' he yelled to himself. He was still stuck in Goku's grip and it looked like Goku was going to head butt him again, thinking fasting Gohan used all of his energy to break free of his dad's grip doing a back flip kicking Goku square in the chin in the process.

"Good move Gohan!" Goku said smiling as he rubbed his jaw.

"Ya…you…to." Gohan said in-between breaths he was panting hard. He was worried he wouldn't be able to fight much longer.

'What's he doing! He is losing energy way faster then me, he should of finished me off a long time ago!' Goku thought to himself. He needed to give his son a kick in the ass if he wanted him to win. "Well Gohan, you might as well give up now. Since I am dead I loose energy at a much slower rate then you. You might have been stronger then me at the start, but I am afraid in a few minutes you won't even be able to keep up with me anymore. It's too bad, I was almost hoping to return home…" Goku said grinning at his son.

'Damn it! He is right, it all makes sense, that is why he is losing less energy then me!' Gohan swore to himself. Again he let his cocky side get the better of him, he wanted a good fight, and that cost him. More importantly it cost Goten the chance of having a father. "I won't let you down Goten! I'm sorry dad. HAAAAA!" Gohan screamed as he again begun to push his power up to even higher levels.

'Way to go Son' Was the last thing Goku thought before he was knocked out cold by a blur known as Gohan.

"Well are you going to let my dad be revived now? Or do I get to fight anymore of your fighters? Gohan said smugly as he dropped out of his Super Saiyan two transformation, he knew there was no one else on this planet the posed even the slightest threat to him.

"I am the Grand Kai, no one orders me around!" The furious Kai threatened.

"I am Gohan, son of Goku, a Saiyan hybrid and I order you to release my Father of his job and allow him to return to life, or else…" Gohan said smiling forming a small ki ball in his hand.

"You bastard, I am going to enjoy personally signing the order to send you to HFIL once the time comes. But until then Goku can return to life. The wish has already been made, I will just lift my blocking of it." The Grand Kai practically spat at Gohan. It wasn't like he wanted to let Goku go but what choice did he have? So true to his word, he let Goku return to life, as evidenced by his halo vanishing.

"I will remember that next time a Kai comes asking for help, against some evil." Gohan said jokingly to the Kai before adding in a more serious tone. "When my dad wakes up tell him to return home, and not to come looking for me, that I will return home in a few years when I'm ready." With that Gohan put two fingers on his forehead and vanished.

A/N: Ok I hope you all liked it! I got this done really fast thanks to all your support. Please review!

Pikkon:

Max Power: 280,000,000

Son Goku:

Base: 65,000,000

SSJ1: 183,000,000

SSJ2: 320,000,000

Son Gohan

Base: 60,000,000

SSJ1: 185,000,000

SSJ2: 340,000,000

SSJ2 Enraged pushed beyond max: 355,000,000

Just for fun:

Vegeta:

Base: 65,000,000

SSJ1: 195,000,000

SSJ2: 310,000,000

So the reason why Vegeta's SSJ is so much stronger is because he was the last to transform so he had spent the most time training that transformation pushing it as far as it could go. Seems pointless right now but will become important later on.
