Mirai Gohan's Legacy
By: Makai Alexa
Hello, and Happy New Year! After being SO sad because I couldn't realize my main dream for 2008, I've decided to look forward to get to it in this new year. I'll keep fighting for my dreams, like it or not, ok, mom and dad?!
Don't feel sorry for me.
About this chapter, I'm merging two chapters from the original Spanish version. I started to think that 6 pages for one 'episode' are too short, so I'm getting around 12 pages with the merge. Hope you like it :)
Thanks to all people who reviewed:
Selene467: I know it's hard to see Gohan dead, but *snif* I think it isn't that bad too. Thanks for encouraging me with my battle scenes, but I'll try to get better with time. I think it's because I'm not a native English speaker. Things will get very interesting. Hope you like this chapter, and helps you to get out from your writer's block :)
Phnxfyr1: (What a very difficult nickname!) Thanks for your review (again :P). I wasn't thinking to write about Trunks going to the past time, but you gave me a good idea. I think I'll write two different stories, beginning with Trunks' departure or something like that. I'll look forward to it.
And thanks to puertorrican-babe, Mirai Gensao and crazywolf like chicken, who had this story on their alerts.
Today's Disclaimer: DB and DBZ doesn't belong to me. I'm just another fan from a little country named Colombia, who gets entertained watching the series over and over.
I'll be waiting for your reviews!
I've decided to change a little the way I write my stories. Thanks to Kisa-kun's advices. This chapter is dedicated to her (that's why I didn't put you on the reviews part). I love her Gohan/Videl fics ;D

(A/N: text): Author's Notes
Listening now to: Hiroki Takahashi – Makafushigi Adventure [DB & DBZ Song Collection: Daizenshuu – Disc 1]
--- In the previous chapter… ---
- "Helloooooo?! Is anybody home?!?!" – It was Videl calling from outside of the Son house…
- "It seems that no one is here… We should go back…" - Mr. Satan said…
- "Please, Dad… Let's wait one more hour… Maybe they went to get some groceries. This house is so far away from civilization…"
- "Okay ..."
That same moment, another hovercar, driven by a large elderly man, was heading to the Son house too...
- "Good morning… May I help you?"
--- And now, with the story… ---
Chapter 4: Meeting Chichi
Actual Date: Mirai Trunks' AU, three years before the first time travel… Young Trunks had been defeated again by the Jinzoningen…
- "Does life have to be this way?... So, full of pain… I, can't stand it! I prefer to die fighting that wait here without doing nothing… NO! I can't stay here while this is happening!!! Please, train me! I have to do it, I have to fight!... Remember that I'm the son of the Saiyajin Prince!!!" – Trunks said to Gohan while tears were running down from his cheeks. He stood up and begged again - "Please, Gohan-niisan!, You understand how I feel, do you?! Help me to get all this anger out and be a Super Saiyajin!!!"
- "…"
- "Niisan!!!"
- "I understand you, Trunks… When I was a little boy, I had a dream of fighting next to my father, but my mother wouldn't let me do it" – Gohan told the purple-haired kid - "I know we're been training much without letting Bulma-san know it. But from this time, I'll be your master, and you will be my student! What do you think, eh?"
- "Great!! I'll never let you down, Gohan-niisan!"
- "Hehe… Yeah, I know you won't do it "
Their silence is interrupted by someone…
- "Trunks!!! I'm home!!!"
- "Oh oh! It's my mother! Oh, Kami!!... Gohan, please, don't tell her anything, ok?!"
- "Haha!!... Ok! No problem!"
In a room he doesn't know… The son of the Saiyajin Prince was coming back from Dreamland…
- "Trunks!!!... Trunks!"
- "Ugh… Mom… Don't be scared, I'm fine…"
- "FINE?! Look at you! You're all hurt and you say "you're fine"?! " – The scientist yelled at his son, who was lying on a hospital bed…
- "At least I'm not dead!"
- "..." - Bulma was shocked to hear Trunks' answer…
- "Eh… Sorry, Mom ..." - Completed Trunks, watching his mother's sad expression…
- "And you are…?" - Asked Videl
- "I'm Gyuumaou, the king of the Fry Pan mountain…" - Answered the old man… (A/N: Remember that I am using the Japanese names of the characters)
- "Do you know Chichi-san? She is the wife of a warrior named Son Gokuu…"
- "Chichi is my daughter, young lady. But, may I ask who you are?
- "I am Videl Satan, Gohan's mate…"
- "What a big problem with those Jinzoningen… They don't know anything besides causing disasters to our planet!!!... Why Gohan or Gokuu…*snif* Gokuu ..." – Yelled Chichi while driving her hovercar to Paozu Yama… - "Why… Did you two leave me alone?! "
- "Sorry, mom…"
- "…"- She changed her expression - "Don't worry, kiddo, I understand what you mean…"- answered Bulma
- "*sigh*… Mom, thanks for always being here… If you weren't here, I would be in the Other World…"
- "Just like your father" – She interrupted – "But, because I'm the best, I'm with you. Well, that's not important, the only thing that matters now is that you will recover and everything will be as usual"
- "Yeah, as usual…"
- "GOHAN'S MATE?!?!... But—But—How?!?! "
- "Yes. As I said… I came to meet Chichi-san… And the man who's with me is my father… Hercule Satan…" - Answered Videl
- "Nice to meet you, sir" - Mr. Satan extended his hand to greet Gyuumaou – "I'm Hercule Satan"
- "When Chichi gets to know about this… I don't know how she will react…"
Several hours have passed, and Chichi was getting tired because of the long journey. She got relaxed seeing that she was getting home, although she got surprised to see two parked hovercars…
- "Two hovercars?... Hmmm… One of them is my father's, but the other one?!"
Noticing this, the wife of the former hero Gokuu accelerated her pace and went to her home faster, to see what's happening…
- "Mom…?"
- "Tell me, kiddo…" – Answered Bulma to Trunks' call…
- "I don't know but… I feel that Gohan's still here… And, I believe that sooner more thal later, we will see that…"
- "Trunks..."
- "Don't ask why, mom… I just— I just know it…"
- "Papa!?" – Chichi called her father…
- "I'm inside the house, dear!!!"
Chichi opened the door and found her father with two people she had never seen in her life…
- "Hello…" – Chichi said to the people…
- "Good afternoon, Chichi-san…" - Videl greets Gokuu's wife with a bow, while Gyuumaou and Mr. Satan stood up…
- "Good afternoon… Er…" – Chichi said. She didn't finish the sentence because she didn't know the girl who was talking to her…
- Videl… Satan Videl is my name, Chichi-san… And he is my father, Satan Hercule"
- "Mmm…" - Chichi pondered for a while – 'Did I ever hear that name?' - Until she realized what the girl just said - "VIDEL?! Do you say that your name is Videl?"
- "Yes ma'am, I came here to…" - The girl stop talking because she was interrupted by Chichi…
- "Oh Kami! I was just looking for you!!!" – She embraced Videl - "Papa! She's Gohan's mate!!!... I was looking for her today with Trunks!"
- "Nice to meet you, Chichi-san" - pronounced the daughter of Hercule while being embraced one again by Chichi - "I came here to know his family, and tell you about the time I spent with your son…"
- "That's wonderful!... Do you drink coffee?"
- "I think it's a good idea" - Mr. Satan said while taking a seat again and continue chatting with Gyuumaou…
- "Trunks, does it hurt to be standing up so soon?"
- "Just a little bit, mom…" - Answered the purple-haired hybrid…
- "Please, come with me to the basement. I want you to see how does my time machine work!"
- "Mom, I told you… I don't think that kind of invention really could work…"
*CLONK!* Bulma smashed her son's head with a frying pan (A/N: where did she get it from?!), because she got surprised that her boy doubter her abilities as a genius!
- "DO YOU QUESTION YOU MOTHER'S GREAT INTELLIGENCE, LITTLE MAN!?"
- "No— *scared!!* NO MA'AM!" – Answered Trunks with an expression of fear in his face.
- "You better do not think about it!"
After the little incident, the blue-haired woman drove her son into the basement, where she showed him a Spider-like device, with lots of hoses and cables and a small cabin for a single person…
- "If you go to the past… You can go three years before the first attack of the Jinzoningen…" – She made a pause, and then continued - "Three years… three years… What happened at that time?!... Ah yes! Freezer came to the Earth!" – Then she concluded – "Exactly! This could be an excellent time to change the future…"
- "How many years is it?" - Asked the naive boy
- "Like seventeen years ago…" - Answer Bulma - "If I keep this good work rhythm, especially designing the algorithm to recreate the Law of Relativity, I think I can finish it in a couple of years…"
Trunks remained silent after his mother's words. He looked to the potential 'time machine'…
- "Mom, I hope… this machine will be a light of heaven in this hell…"
- "Don't worry, kiddo… It will be…"
- "So Gohan and you met in the Orange Star Hospital…" - Chichi said while investigating the life of her son while he was away from Paozu Yama.
- "Yeah… We met each other when he saved my father's life, when he thought that being the Champion of the Tenkaichi Budokai would give him a chance against those monsters…" - Videl remembered, - "From then on, I met several times with him… When he came to see if everything was in order, if we had been attacked… I used to keep a bag Some Senzu Beans for him, and every time he went out injured, he came and asked me for one…" – She changed her face's expression – "And he didn't stop talking about you, his friend Trunks, who he loved as a younger brother, and of course his father, Gokuu-san…"
- "Yes… Since Gokuu died of his heart disease, and boys were exterminated one by one, Gohan laid the responsibility for saving the world from the Jinzoningen upon himself" – Gyuumaou finished solemnly…
- "More than once, I found Gohan alone, standing in what used to be the tallest building in Orange City Star. I felt his sadness, I heard his silent cries…" – Videl interrupted herself, remembering those sad moments. A few tears escaped from her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. Hercule got up and went to console her, but she asked him to remain in his chair…
- "By Gohan's request, I allow him to remain with her… They lived like a married couple… Married in a figurative way, because everything is chaos in Earth" - Added Mr. Satan, while watching Videl as she passed her hand around her belly.
- "Gohan didn't come back after he left three years ago. He only news I had from him was his last letter… She talked so much about you in it" - Chichi thought out loud…
- "Well, Chichi-san… I came to you to tell you something very important, as this whole conversation is about Gohan. Something I couldn't tell him" - Interrupted the blue-eyed woman – "I came to tell you that… that…"
- "What?! What happened, girl?! " – asked the impatient Son matriarch
- "That Gohan and I… Well, I— I'm going to be a mother…"
- "What?!"
- "I'm pregnant. I'll have a boy from Gohan…"
Gyuumaou and Chichi couldn't believe it! Gohan will have a child! His son, who she never said goodbye and who never thought they would have more news from, delivered from Videl, the good news of the moment… The wife of the former hero of Earth was speechless and excited. She stood up, took the Satan woman's hands, took a deep breath and…
- "Congratulations, future mom!" - After this sentence, Chichi gave Videl a warm hug. Videl felt the news was well received and understood why his lover Goha was a person so good and kind. Then the two women came loose and faced each other…
The two women laughed, while Hercule and Gyuumaou shook hands and joined their daughters in celebration. However, Videl recalled the difficult situation of the planet and stopped her laugh
- "In these times isn't easy to have and raise a child… Everything in here is chaos! I haven't thought about it… I don't know if by tomorrow, when this child is born, I die and can't provide him the education he deserves…"
- "Oh!" - Chichi also stopped by hearing Videl's conclusion… - "Videl-chan, please don't say that! This baby could be the best for the planet's sake. He's Gohan's!" – and then, she said in a very solemn way – "It may be the last glimpse of hope for this dying planet!"
- "But ..."
- "No buts, young lady ..." – The Son woman interrupted her, while recalling that when her son was a child, she didn't approve his fighting training, mostly when he had to do it with the 'monster' named Piccolo; that Gokuu agreed with the Namekseijin, allowing Gohan to train to become a warrior… She called them 'rebels' and considered they weren't trustworthy, like that Vegeta – 'So many things that I tried to ban to Gohan… and he became a hero for this world, just like his father…'
Then, she thought that things don't happen without a reason, so she continued…
- "Videl, all the thing in this world have their reason to be. Gohan could have gone, but he left for someone to take his place. He was no fool, my son was a genius, not only in his studies… You will see that now that we got together, we will see this baby be born and growing up healthy and strong! "
- "Thank you, Chichi-san!"
Chichi projected only happiness to her daughter-in-law (she couldn't do it the other way). So felt Videl like her own daughter: showed her a big smile, and promised that her family with their new members wasn't going to tear apart… Never again.
- "Mom…"
- "Tell me, Trunks?"
- "I think we should go to Paozu Yama, to know if Chichi-san found something about Gohan's mate. Don't you?"
- "Yes, you're right" – The Briefs woman answered - "Get yourself clean, because we're going to the West District. I will lock everything we have here, because this is VERY important…"
- "Do you need some help, Mom?"
- "No son, don't make any effort!... You go upstairs. I'll catch you soon"
- "Ok, Mom..."
And without further setbacks, the Briefs locked all their belongings in the basement of the Capsule Corporation, and went to the Son house…
Chichi's gesture of despair turned into full joy. Somehow, the news of his new grandmother role injected her life, knowing that her son is going to live again through the baby that's on his way… It'll be Gohan's Legacy…
- "Hello Chichi!" - Bulma and Trunks got inside the house
- "Bulma! It's good that you've arrived!"
- "Hello, Chichi-san…" – Trunks greeted the Son matriarch
- "Trunks, Bulma! ... I have a surprise for you! Come with me!"
The three got inside the dining room. Trunks tried to remember what kind of people should be visiting Chichi besides her father, and wondered that they should be really special to have Gohan's mother so happy…
- Bulma, meet Videl Satan… She is…"
Chichi didn't finish pronouncing the sentence, but Trunks recalled the words of the child who found him in Orange Star in his last fight…
- "What??! Videl?!?!" - It scared Trunks ... – "I never heard that name before…"
- "Yep, she said she had to visit Chichi-San, your mother, right?"
- 'Chichi-San…? Videl…? ... Golden Warrior?...' – Trunks opened his eyes very wide – 'That's !!!... Gohan's mate!' - Suddenly he got recovered - "Kid, tell me where is she, please!!"
- "Videl?! Gohan's mate! That's what that little kid told me!!!"
- "Kid?" - Videl interrupted what Trunks was saying. However, she gave little importance to that matter, as Bulma and Trunks suddenly became mute because of the emotion…
However, Bulma remembered the only time she went into the little house Gohan was living in West City: when Gohan lost his left arm…
Bulma put Gohan's clean uniform above the little closet. When she placed his wristbands, she noticed a picture where the oldest hybrid was with a woman by his side…
- "Mmm… Who is this person?" - She questioned herself.
Her thoughts were interrupted Gohan's screams of pain, who seemed not only having problems with his body but his mind too…
- "ARGH! ARGHHH!!!" - He complained in his dreams…
- Gohan…" - Trunks tried to hold him… - "Gohan, please!... Calm down!"
Then Bulma reminded that Trunks was with the Son man, and her mind forgot what she was thinking to talk to her son about being with him in the line of fire…
Bulma realized that she completely forgot about that photo when Chichi came to her place and told her about Gohan's letter. But that area of the city was entirely destroyed, just a few weeks after the oldest hybrid's death.
- 'I'm a genius woman and I couldn't remember that before...' - But thinking of the current situation of Gohan's house – 'Well, the only evidence was destroyed… But, who cares! She's here now!'
- "Hello, ma'am" – Videl saluted with a bow and then walked forward Trunks – "You must be little Trunks, right?"
- "Little?" – The young Briefs opened his eyes as wide as plates…
- "Sorry… It's just that Gohan always referred to you as 'little Trunks'" – She put her hand upon Trunks head and ruffled his hair
- "Yes… It's me… Videl-san, right?" – Trunks was blushing when he saw the Satan woman's eyes – 'That's why Gohan falled in love with her…'
- "Hahaha! Call me just Videl, young one! I don't like formalisms!"
- "Eh— Ok!" – Trunks got more relaxed and smiled - "Nice to meet you!... How did you find the house?"
- "I wanted to know Chichi-san and Gohan's friends long before he died. However, with Jinzoningen's continuous attacks, it was very difficult to move around. Gohan wouldn't never let me out of our refugee building…" - Answered Videl
But the good moments were interrupted when the almost fainted radio signal with some music changed to news…
- "Live from West Capital: once again we're being attacked by the Jinzoningen!... Help! Many people are being killed by the wicked Juunana-Gou and Juuhachi- Gou!" –The news reporter's voice was full of panic – "Get the army to help us!... Please, Golden Fighters! COME HERE TO— AAAAAAAHHHH!!!" - And the transmission was suddenly cut…
- "Oh no! Our house!" - Bulma said while turning to see her son walking to the door...
- "Damn it! I have to go there!" - Trunks clenched his fists and was going to run out of the Son house when…
- "You are crazy, young man? There's no way you go there! You're still injured!!!" – Bulma interrupted him while holding his shoulder. But the young hybrid, without saying anything and using his speed, let go of his mother's grip and got out of the house to fly in the direction of the disappearing Kis; not knowing that, like the last time, he will be defeated…
--- To be continued… ---
Videl and Chichi knew each other now, but Trunks had to go to fight those androids again… What's going to happen now? Don't miss the next chapter of "Mirai Gohan's Legacy"!
From now on… I have a beta reader!!! Welcome, texaspeach! So I thank her because she accepted, and I'm ready to accept everything she says! :D
I survived the holidays, so I can be with you again. I'll update as fast as I cant to bring you the 5th chapter. Please don't be impatient!
Ja ne!
