Author's note: I'm glad to see how a lot of people really like this story. I was inspired when I was watching the DB series and thought how cool it would've been if Gohan was a part of it, the setup was an idea from Pokemon Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky if you hadn't figured it out already. Please continue to review and let me know what you think.

Dragon Ball Rewritten

Gohan's Time Warp Chaos

Chapter 8, Pilaf's Ambishin. Gohan VS Piccolo?

Goku, using his Dragon Radar, soon had his Nimbus Cloud fly above a remote desert place. Gohan was looking around, trying to find Slug if he's still here.

"There, the Dragon Ball is down there somewhere. I sure hope it's my Grandpa's Four-Star Ball." Goku said as he took the Nimbus down.

Gohan noticed the Red Ribbon Army were searching the place as well. Pilaf couldn't have just vanished into thin air, he must be hiding himself underground. Now where is Slug? If I don't find and stop him now, then who knows what damage he'll do. Gohan thought while trying to sense the Namekian's ki.

Goku looked around carefully, but then he got frantic. "Oh-no! This is bad! There's no time!"

Gohan flinched. "What? What's wrong?"

"I've gotta hurry!" Gohan watched in concern while his chibi father ran around like a maniac until he stopped in front of a rock, pulled down his pants, and began relieving himself.

Gohan did an anime fall. "Sheesh, for a minute there I thought you were in danger or something."

"I was! Don't you know how uncomfortable it is when you don't pee for a while?" Goku said to the embarrassed 'Sky' while continuing his leak.

Suddenly, guns and missles from underground began shooting at Saiyan and demi-Saiyan boys. Both of them reacted quickly and dodged the weapons.

"Wow, you sure are fast Sky." Goku noted when he saw Gohan dodging.

Uh-oh, I better watch myself. I only reacted, I didn't even have time to think about it. Gohan nervously thought.

The weapons from underground caused Colonel Silver to realize that Pilaf was underground along with the Six-Star Ball (yes, I know I said Five-Star in the last chapter, ignore that, it was a mistake).

"Uh-oh, we better take cover. They're about to open fire!" Gohan pointed at the jet planes of the Red Ribbon Army, about to shoot the underground and didn't care about the two boys standing on it.

"I've had enough!" Goku jumped around and stomped those guns, stopping them cold. Suddenly, both Goku and Gohan were sinking in the sand.

They both fell down into a metalic room. "What's this? Ah, this must be the Underground Base." Gohan noted.

Pilaf appeared on the little T.V. screen. "So you thought you could get away for leaking all over my camera."

Gohan sweatdropped; his dad actually peed on Pilaf's camera... now the half breed was even more embarrassed that someone else saw that, up close and personal too.

"You! Give me back my Grandpa's Dragon Ball!" Goku demanded.

Pilaf resonded by sticking his tongue out at the boy. Then he noticed young Gohan behind him. "Eh? Who's the kid behind you? Are you his brother or something?" Pilaf asked, horrified that there's another Goku running around.

"No, this is Sky, my friend. Now get us out of here and give me that Dragon Ball!" Goku demanded again, losing his patience.

"Oh I see, so he's just a normal little boy you decided to drag along. Well then, this should be interesting. You will be far too busy with my robot to be wanting this Dragon Ball." Pilaf pushed a button.

An egg robot with arms and legs came into the room, it's called the Pilaf Battle Robot. "Hey! You're the guy who stole our Dragon Balls last time!" Goku pointed accusingly at the robot.

The robot quickly grabbed Gohan and held him in front of Goku. Goku was about to do the Kamehameha Wave until he saw Gohan in front of him.

"Hey! No fair! Put Sky down!" Goku demanded angerly they'd use a hostage to their adventage.

Gohan didn't know what to do. If he fought back and destroyed the robot, then his chibi dad would know he could fight. If he let things continue, then everything would fall apart. Either way, the boy is screwed.

What do I do? What do I do? What do I do? Gohan frantically thought while sweating like a waterfall.

"Calm down Gohan. Don't panic and just concentrate. I have an idea how you can get through this without risking your identity." Gohan heard adult Goku's voice in his head.

Dad! Am I glad to hear you. What can I do then? Gohan mentally asked with hope.

"I remember when Kami used a human disguise at the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament. He was a really great actor, I never suspected him to be a fighter, more like a lucky clumsy oaf. That's what you should do, Gohan. Fight back, but make it look accidentel like Kami did."

You sure I could pull it off without explaining how I was able to break through pure steel like it was wet sheet? Gohan mentally questioned.

"Don't worry, people tend to miss the obvious things like that when they're in trouble. Remember what I said Son, and you'll be fine." Goku said before disconnecting.

With that idea in mind, Gohan inwardly smirked. Chibi Goku was yelling at Pilaf for being unfair and to let 'Sky' go.

"Too bad, you shouldn't have brought a kid like him into this!" Pilaf snapped at him.

"Stop fighting like a coward and let my friend go!" Goku demanded angerly.

While the robot held onto Gohan's arms, the demi-Saiyan pretended his foot slipped and kicked the robot's knee. Gohan put enough power in that kick to unbalance the robot, but not enough to do any real damage.

"Oops, must've slipped." Gohan said with a sheepish voice to make it sound convincing.

The robot was falling, and Gohan broke it's glass by hitting it with his diamond hard head, but the demi-Saiyan made it look like he slipped again and that his head was forced to go up because of it.

Gohan of course had to put his hands on his head and make it look like it hurt the heck out of him, but he hardly felt a thing. "Owww... that hurt..."

"Sky, are you okay?" Goku asked in concern for his 'head-aching' friend.

"What? Impossible! How did that clumsy kid get out of my Fighting Robot's grasp and breaking it's glass?" Pilaf yelled when he saw what happened.

"Maybe the robot was defective sir." Mai suggested.

"I knew we should've reinstall that glass." Shu said.

"Shut up! Both of you! My inventions are all perfect! There shouldn't be a singel flaw!" Pilaf yelled in anger at them.

Suddenly, the entire base shook, the Red Ribbon Army were relentless as they continued their assualt on the Underground Base.

"There's no more time, we need to retreat!" Pilaf yelled while holding his prescious Dragon Ball.

Goku used his Kamehameha Wave to break down the wall so he and Gohan could escape and find Pilaf along with the Dragon Ball. Goku grabbed Gohan's hand again so he wouldn't lag behind (not knowing Gohan could keep up with him) and find the bad guys.

"I see them down this way!" Goku said.

"That's great, but could you please let me go? My arm's going to fall off soon." Gohan complained, but Goku ignored it as he continued dragging his future son with him towards Pilaf, Mai and Shu.

Goku and Gohan were now standing face-to-face with the blue midget, the dog and the woman. "Caught you! Now give me that Dragon Ball!"

"No way!" Pilaf, Mai and Shu ran for it. Shu pressed buttons to shut in the two boys with solid breaks of walls.

"No sweat. Sky, stay close to me." Goku barged down all the walls easily with Gohan right behind him.

With the Red Ribbon Army constantly firing at the ship, Goku fell outside. Gohan purposly 'fell' outside along with him. Both of them were hanging onto the giant ball of steel flying in the air while the army kept firing at it.

"Goku! We're going to die if we stay here!" Gohan yelled over the gunshots.

"You're right. NIMBUS! NIIIIMBUS!" Goku frantically called for his cloud. The huge ship exploded, sending Goku and Gohan sky high. Nimbus caught Goku just in time, but couldn't find young Gohan. Not knowing where the demi-Saiyan is, the cloud just took Goku to a safe place until he wakes up.

Meanwhile, Gohan was being pushed back by the force of the explosion, but didn't take long before the boy was able to overcome it and stay still in the sky. The half breed floated there until he regained his senses, his ears were ringing from that loud explosion.

Gohan looked around and saw his chibi dad unconscious and safe on the Nimbus Cloud. "Glad he's okay. This is the perfect oppertunity. While he's sleeping, I'm going to see if I could find Slug and destroy his Temporal Mecha."

The 11-year old demi-Saiyan flew around the now deserted desert area, after the Red Ribbon Army got the Six-Star Ball from Pilaf, they left the area. Pilaf, Shu and Mai must've left too.

Gohan landed in the middle of the desert looking around. "I don't see nor sense him anywhere, maybe he moved on already in all the commocene?"

The demi-Saiyan sighed, he thought for sure he would find the troublesome Namekian, but he's not having much luck.

Gohan was about to get out the Illusion Counter Glasses, when he suddenly remembered he dropped them during his fight with Guldo and they were broken. So much for being immune to mind attacks.

"Oh well, maybe I'll get lucky and Slug won't be able to attack my mind." Gohan said to himself.

Then the demi-Saiyan saw three people walking in the desert. Gohan was surprised to see it was Pilaf, Shu and Mai and they looked pretty beaten up.

"Those stupid Red Ribbon Army are going to pay for this... how dare they take away my Six-Star Ball like that!" the blue midget complained.

"You gave it to them Sire." Shu mumbled.

"IDIOT! If I hadn't given it to them we would've been dead by now!"

"I'd say we just give up for the time being. There's no point in gathering the Dragon Balls if we get ourselves killed." Mai said.

"You may be right Mai, but I still want to find at least one Dragon Ball, maybe then we could be prepared to steal the rest of them from that stupid army." Pilaf grumbled annoyed.

Gohan landed nearby, watching them curiously. I've always wondered what happened to them after Dad got blown away. Do they even have a place to stay anymore? Dad wrecked their castle and the army destroyed their fortress.

"Sir, where are we going to go now?" Shu asked.

"Um... well... bah! Never you mind about that Shu. Just follow me and we'll figure something out." Pilaf said.

Then the blue midget tripped over something. "Ah! What the?"

Gohan was surprsied to see the 'thing' Pilaf tripped over was a small Namekian toy, he didn't even know people made those kind of toys. That is, until he took a closer look and realized that was no toy.

It's Slug! Oh-no, just what is he planning to do? Gohan glared at the shrunken Namek from behind the rocks to keep himself hidden.

Pilaf picked up the 'toy' and grumbled. "Who's the idiot that left a toy way out here in the middle of a desert?"

To the trio's surprise, the 'toy' spoke. "I'm not just an ordinary toy, Emperor Pilaf."

"Wah? Who are you? How did you know who I am?" Pilaf demanded while Shu and Mai watched surprised and speechlessly, Gohan kept quiet as he watched, wanting to see just what Slug planned to do with these three.

"I know a lot about you. I've been sent by your great anscestors to help you in your conquest to rule the world. You'd like that, wouldn't you?" Slug tempted.

Pilaf gave a wide smile. "R-really? I can actually rule the world without having to go through the trouble of gathering the Dragon Balls?"

"That's right, but only if you do exactly as I say." Slug smirked sinisterly, giving the demi-Saiyan in hiding the chills. It reminded him so much when the evil Namekian tried to Terra-Freeze the Earth.

"Emperor, are you sure you can trust this... talking toy?" Shu asked suspisciously.

"Shu's right, Emperor, we don't know for sure if this isn't some kind of trap." Mai was also suspiscious.

"Silence you fools! Because of both of your incompetents, I am forced to recruit any other help necessary. Now, if you are willing to help, then I'm all ears. What do I need to do to rule the world?" Pilaf said eagerly, ready to do anything to get what he wants.

Gohan glared as he saw Slug smirking wider. "It's simple; all you have to do is kill that boy called Goku. Do that, and world domination will come easily to you."

Gohan inwardly gasped, so Slug really did want to take revenge on his dad, even though the Saiyan child of this time is completely innocent.

"Kill Goku? But that's impossible. That monkey boy is harder to kill then a cockroach!"

"It'll be easy if you use the powers I am willing to give you. What do you say?" Slug kept smirking.

"Powers? Then I'm all for it! Give me all you've got!"

Gohan couldn't stand by anymore. The hybrid quickly rushed out of his hiding spot and ran over to them. Pilaf, Mai, Shu and Slug saw the boy coming towards them. Like what adult Goku told him before, Gohan acted clumsy.

The demi-Saiyan made it look like he slipped on the ground and 'accidently' slapped Slug out of Pilaf's hand due to being too close when he fell.

Pilaf pointed at the 'clumsy' boy. "You! How did you get here and how dare you slap my hand!"

Gohan got up, rubbed the back of his head and grinned sheepishly. "Heh... Sorry about that, I was looking for my friend Goku, we got seperated during the assualt. Guess I wasn't looking where I was going and slipped."

"This is the third time your clumsiness cost me something kid! Wait... I know, perhaps I don't need some talking toy's help. I can just kidnap you and use you as a hostage to have that monkey boy walk right into my hands. Shu! Mai! Get that clumsy kid!"

"Yes sir!" both of them charged towards the half breed.

Gohan pretended to look scared and tried running away, but he ran very slowly, allowing them to catch up. Just when Mai and Shu were about to catch him, Gohan covered his head and ducked, causing Shu and Mai to trip over him as they weren't expecting it and fell down on top of each other.

"You two bumbling idiots are going to ruin EVERYTHING!" Pilaf screamed in frustration.

While Pilaf was having his tirade on Mai and Shu, Gohan saw Slug flying away. I can't let him get away, I have to destroy his Temporal Mecha before he does anyhing to shatter Time even more.

Gohan looked back to make sure they didn't have their attention on him before taking off after Slug in the sky.

"I'M GOING TO FIRE THE TWO OF YOU IF YOU CAN'T EVEN CATCH ONE LOUSY KID!"

"Hey Sire... where did the kid go?" Shu asked when he noticed Gohan was gone.

"What? NOOOO! Y-YOU TWO LET HIM GET AWAY! ARRRGH!"

Gohan easily caught up with Slug. "Hey! I'm not letting you get away this time Slug!"

Slug stopped in midair and grew back to his original size. "Hmph, so you're the kid that's been dwindling our numbers. No wonder Time wasn't shattering as much as before. I should've known that 'clumsiness' you displayed was just an act, your real plan was to get me alone."

"You guessed right. With no witnesses of this Timeline, I'm free to use my power against you until I destroy your Temporal Mecha."

"You're so smugged now, but I've learned a few new things since I was killed. For starters, your annoying whistle won't work on me anymore as Cell designed my Temporal Mecha to protect my sensative ears against such things. Not to mention you were so easily defeated by my minions."

"Yeah I know, all you dead folks learned something new. But that doesn't mean I've come unprepared Slug. I'm much stronger then I was when I faced you." although Gohan showed confidence to his oppenent, like Piccolo always taught him to do, inwardly the demi-Saiyan was worried.

I'm so screwed! I broke my only means of countering illusions and mind attacks. What does Slug have in store for me? Whatever it is, I better watch it. I don't know if Grandpa Bardock will be able to help me this time and I still don't know if Kit is really here to help me. Gohan thought while he kept his eyes on the corrupted Namek.

"Now watch kid, this will be the last thing you'll see before I send you to the Otherworld." Slug smirked. Gohan wasn't sure what to do, but he didn't dare to take his eyes off the evil Namek.

Suddenly, Slug turned into Piccolo! Whatever Gohan was expecting, it certainly wasn't this. 'Piccolo' looked at Gohan. "Gohan? What are you doing? Don't start slacking off in your training."

Gohan shook his head to get rid of the shock. "Cut it out Slug! I know it's you." Gohan really wished he had those glasses right now.

'Piccolo' looked surprise. "What are you talking about? Slug has been dead since your father killed him. Now stop daydreaming and get back to training."

"I know you're not Piccolo!" Gohan snapped, angery that Slug would even dare to attempt to impersonate his mentor Piccolo.

"Gohan, have you gone mad? Maybe all those battles have finally taken their tolls on you." 'Piccolo' said in what sounded like genuine concern, causing young Gohan to falter a bit.

"No! I know you're Slug. Stop trying to trick me! It's not going to work!"

'Piccolo' looked at the demi-Saiyan. "I have no choice then, if you've become so blind with hallucination, I must finish you off."

'Piccolo' surprised Gohan by stretching his arms out and hiting him in the face. The demi-Saiyan quickly regain his composure and punched the fake in the gut. However, when Gohan was about to kick him to the ground, 'Piccolo' gave him the look of a mentor, causing the young hybrid to stop cold.

This hesitation gave the phony time to recover and head butt Gohan right back in the gut, then put his hands together and hammered the poor boy's head. Gohan was sent to the ground and left a crater in the desert.

Gohan sat up and rubbed his head. "How am I going to fight him? I know it's not Piccolo, but whenever I look at him before I could finish him, I just stop cold. There must be someway I could fight without hesitating so much..." then an idea popped in the young hybrid's brilliant mind.

Deciding to use his senses instead of his eyes, Gohan closed his eyes and sensed the incoming enemy. Slug was just above him. Still having his eyes closed, Gohan jumped away from the punch meant for him and kicked Slug's back. Slug was sent through rocky hills.

"Gohan! Stop this madness at once!" Slug, using Piccolo's voice, demanded.

It was a struggle for Gohan to fight Slug because of his near perfect impersonation of Piccolo, but the demi-Saiyan kept reminding himself who this really is. But when Gohan punched Slug in the face, using Piccolo's voice, he shouted in pain.

Gohan could no longer take it and stopped. "No! Piccolo!"

Slug took this advantage and rapidly punched the poor boy before hammering him back to the ground. "Heh, you're way too soft kid." Slug, still using Piccolo's voice, taunted.

Kit, who's been watching the entire fight, just shook her head as she jumped over to Gohan. "Hey, get up kid!"

Gohan sat up and looked at her. "Kit? When did you get here?"

"That doesn't matter. Listen up demi-Saiyan, you're going to have to stop paying attention to this amatuer's illusion and focus on destroying his Temporal Mecha. You don't have to beat the guy to a bloody pulp you know, just destroy that infernal watch and be done with it! Besides, just pretend you and Piccolo are having another spar or something and you should be golden."

Gohan blinked, he never thought of doing that before. The hybrid grinned. "Right, thanks Kit."

Gohan flew back up towards 'Piccolo'. "Alright 'Piccolo', if it's a spar you want, then it's a spar you'll get!"

Hm? Strange, why is this kid suddenly so confident? Have he finally lost it? Well, all the better for me. Slug smirked, thinking the kid actually believes he's the real Piccolo.

Without hesitation this time, Gohan flew straight to 'Piccolo' for close combat. Both Gohan and 'Piccolo' were throwing rapid punches at each other. If a normal person saw this, they wouldn't be able to see their hands. They were trading in a lot of power, causing mini shockwaves in the air.

Good, he's distracted, now if I could just get in a good punch at his Temporal Mecha... Gohan thought while looking at the watch on 'Piccolo's neck. Waiting for his oppertunity, the demi-Saiyan gave a smirk, which Slug was curious about.

Finally seeing an opening, Gohan quickly punched the Temporal Mecha, breaking the watch into pieces. "What? No! NOOOOOO!" 'Piccolo' screamed, turning back into Slug.

"You! You've tricked me!"

"Look who's talking! You've done worse then what I did, after all, you tried to get me to believe you were Piccolo. Yeah, like Piccolo would try to kill me if he thought I was hallucinating." Gohan pointed out.

Slug let out one final yell before his body disappeared back to the Otherworld. Gohan wipped a sweat from his brow, glad that was over.

"Wew, the enemies are getting stronger. I better start training more if I hope to keep winning against them." then he looked around and noticed someone was missing.

"Hey... Kit? Where'd you go? She must've teleported somewhere again. Oh well, I better call Bulma and tell her the latest news." Gohan landed back on the ground before activating the C.T.W. again.

"Hey Bulma, are you there?" Gohan asked when he didn't see her face on screen.

Bulma quickly ran to the screen. "Hey Gohan! Sorry about that, I've been working on something major here that could help us."

Gohan's eyes widened. "Really? What've you been working on?"

"Ah, it's a surprise. Anyway, what's your lastest report?"

Gohan told Bulma about how he defeated Slug. "Good, looks like you're making good progress kid. Time is still shattering, but the progress is slowing down. At this rate, you should be able to finish them all off before Time stops, way to go."

Gohan smiled. "I couldn't have done it without the help of my dad, Grandpa and Kit. But it would be easier if I had someone to stick with me and help me out more."

"Don't worry about that, Gohan. You've got all the help you need. So anyway, we're still researching on what Cell is trying to gain other then revenge for destroying Time, but I think we may have uncover something, but it's only a theory."

"What is it?"

"It's possible that Cell is hopping to-" suddenly, static took over the C.T.W. interrupting what Bulma was about to tell him.

"Bulma? Hey!" Gohan tried shaking and thumping the C.T.W., but nothing's working.

With a sigh, Gohan turned it off. "Oh well, maybe after Bulma fixes the problem I can call her back again and she could tell me what she uncovered."

Gohan decided to look for his chibi father in the meantime and continue his little adventure with him until he can find more of the enemies.


Chapter 9, Time Glitches

Gohan finally found his child father sleeping on Nimbus in a small field, away from the desert. "Wew, glad I finally found him."

Goku soon woke up just as Gohan made it to him. "Huh? Whoa... hey Sky... ugh... what happened?"

"The fortress blew up and sent us both flying. Luckily, Nimbus came just in time to save us." Gohan explained, though stretched the truth a bit on the last part.

Goku sat up. "Whoa, really? Man, that was scary. I'm glad you're okay."

"Me too, but those guys took the Dragon Ball." Gohan sighed.

Goku grumbled before taking out his Dragon Radar. "Oh well, let's just hope that wasn't my Grandpa's Four-Star Ball and see if we can find another one."

Goku, after Gohan hopped on board the Nimbus, flew into a forest. "According to the Radar, the Dragon Ball should be around here."

Gohan's eyes widened when he saw something brown and furry moving behind Goku. "Uh Goku... I think your tail just grew back."

Goku looked back and smiled. "Hey yeah! I've been waiting for it to grow back, now I feel even stronger."

There was that irritating itch in his tailbone again, the demi-Saiyan hadn't felt it in a while, but why is it coming back again? Goku laughed carefreely as he moved his newly sprouted tail around.

"If monkeys were to see you, they'd probably think you were one of them." Gohan teased.

As if on cue, the two boys saw two monkeys, one was a mother and the other was a child. Both of them were being chased by a hungry panther.

"Hey! Don't hurt them!" Goku kicked the panther. The large predator black cat growled at the boy before running away.

The two monkeys were happy that this boy saved them, like Gohan said, they probably thought he was one of them because of his tail.

"Are you two okay?" Goku asked with a smile on his face.

The baby monkey hopped up and down with glee while the mother smiled and nodded. Gohan blinked. "Am I psychic or something? Those monkeys really think Goku is one of them."

Soon more monkeys joined them. They were all thankful that Goku saved one of their family and gave him a bunch of fruits. Gohan looked around, sensing something wasn't right around here. While Goku happily ate the fruit and offered Gohan some, the demi-Saiyan focused while eating.

Gohan didn't sense an enemy nearby, yet he could feel something was wrong, it bothered him.

It only took a moment before it hit the hybrid; there's a disturbence in the Time balance here. Gohan's not sure how he knew this, but it's like he could sense something was wrong with Time in this place, maybe it's because Time was disappearing from his future and his body has adabted to it or something, but however the kid learned how to sense it, he knew something was really wrong.

Looking around, it didn't look like Time was shattering or slowing down, but something is definitely wrong. Goku and the monkeys remained happily oblivious to the demi-Saiyan's troubled face.

That's strange. For some reason I feel like there's something abnormal about Time in this area, but I can't figure out what it is. Everything seem normal enough, so why do I get this strange feeling like it's not? Gohan thought to himself trying to figure out the puzzle.

Then Gohan heard a voice he'd never thought he'd hear outside of his head. "Gohan? Is something wrong?"

Quickly turning back to his dad, he was more then shocked to see his adult dad, not his chibi dad, was standing right in front of him, wearing his orange gi along with his weighted clothes all together.

"D-Dad? What?" Gohan was too confused right now.

"Oh don't be scared Son, the animals here are friendly. Your mom finally lets us have a little camping trip, isn't it neat?" adult Goku said with that infamous smile.

"But... you... I... we... is this another illusion?" the confused Gohan concluded, it has to be an illusion.

"Illusion? What's that?" Goku asked naively.

Gohan blinked and suddenly saw his adult dad was a baby! Crying wildly, the baby Saiyan had strong lungs.

"Huh? How did you go from pre-teen, adult, to baby in just eighteen seconds?" Gohan then looked around himself, the areas were changing rapidly too. The trees kept changing color at a pace that's not normal. The animals, including the monkeys, kept aging or de-aging like Goku in front of him.

Goku was then suddenly back to his twelve year old body, happily eating fruits. "Want some bannanas Sky?" he offered.

"Uh... Actually, I'm going to take a look around. You go ahead and keep eating." Gohan said, trying not to go blank in confusion.

Goku nodded as he continued eating. "Don't go too far."

Gohan walked around the forest, whatever is going on everything kept changing rapidly. "Now I know what's wrong, Time is way too unbalanced here and it's causing some kind of... uh... I guess Time Glitch. I wish I could use the C.T.W. and tell Bulma about this..."

Gohan tried activating it, nothing but static greeted the screen. "But the darn thing is busted right now. Guess I'll have to figure this out on my own."

Gohan looked at himself, his body didn't change at all, until he remembered that he's a Time Traveler, an outsider to this Timeline, so he's immune to aging and apparently de-aging so long as he's in a different Timeline, at least that's his theory, then again Bulma did say the Time Machine he used kept him from aging too.

"But how does a person fix a glitch in Time? It's not like I can use a screwdriver and open it up to see what the problem is..." Gohan pondered.

Then a thought struck him. "Or could I?"

Thinking about the Instant Transmission, the demi-Saiyan remembered his dead father telling him that the technique dissolves one's body through a space-time dimension and immediantly reappear into another place far away in seconds. Gohan, even though he has yet to master it, figured he could get inside the space-time dimension and see what's causing the Time Glitch in the area and fix it before anymore damage is done.

Please work, I don't want to end up with my bones on the outside... Gohan shivered at the gruesome possible result if he mess this up.

Concentrating, Gohan's body disappeared. The hybrid was glad to see he still had his skin and was even more happy to see he was where he wanted to be: inside the space-time dimension.

The place had no solid ground, nothing but air. The area looked like clouds with a bunch of rapidly changing colors, it was hard to stay straight. There seems to be a vortex in the backround too.

"Wow, I've never seen a place like this before. Now how do I find the problem around here?"

"I think I can help you there Son." the voice startled the living daylights out of the poor half breed.

Adult Goku laughed at his son's startled reaction. "Daddy? How?"

Goku was still dead, the halo on his head proved it, but for some reason, he's here, physically. "Strange isn't it? The Grand Kai said I could enter in these space-time dimensions to help you out. He showed me where the problem is so I could take you there myself."

"Awesome! Let's go!"

Goku lead his son Gohan through the colorful yet quiet dimension. "Let's see, it should be right around here... ah, there it is."

Gohan was surprised to see a familiar face here. "Well, hello Gohan and Goku, glad you could join the party." he had that evil smirk.

"CELL! So you're behind this!" Gohan growled.

"But of course, young Gohan. It was so easy to destroy Time here. I messed it up so bad that it's going haywire as we speak, going exactly to plan." Cell smirked sinsiterly at father and son.

"I don't know how you're doing it Cell, but I'm going to destroy that Temporal Mecha of yours and restore Time here!" Gohan snapped, flashing to Super Sayian, turning his hair and eyebrows golden yellow and his eyes teal.

"Becareful Son, Cell may have something up his sleeve." Goku warned before transforming into Super Saiyan himself.

Both father and son Super Saiyans charged towards Cell. The bio-android smirked before snapping his finger, causing both Super Saiyans to come to a dead halt in mid-air.

"What? What'd you do to us you monster!" Gohan demanded.

"Simple, I just caused Time around you to stop, that's all. As long as the two of you are in this dimension, whether you're dead or a Time Traveler makes no difference, both of you are effected to Time here and whatever happens to it. I have full control of it all, meaning I have the advantage." Cell smirked.

"Gohan... use your Instant Transmission, it should be able to work since it defies Time itself." Goku said to his Son.

"But I can't even move, how am I suppose to use it?"

"Just concentrate, it shouldn't be too difficult."

Gohan and Goku concentrated on their ki. Cell watched them. "Hmm..."

Both Super Saiyans were able to break free from Cell's hold and instantly punched the android. Both of them punched and kicked mercilessly.

"KAMEHAMEHA!" Goku fired a bluish white blast.

"MASENKO-HA!" Gohan fired a large yellow blast from his hands.

Both powerful energy beams hit their target and Cell dissolved much like he did when Gohan first killed him.

Gohan and Goku powered down to their original black color. "Something's not right, that was way too easy." Goku said suspisciously.

Suddenly, both Saiyan and demi-Saiyan heard Cell laughing at them but they didn't see him anywhere.

"You'd think I'd be beaten that easily? That was just a weaker clone of myself gathering what's neccessary from the energy in Time in the area. Now that you've destroyed him, I guess I have no use for being here any longer. I could kill you now, Gohan and take my revenge on you, but that wouldn't be much fun. I'd rather see you suffer and amuse me while you try to defeat those weaklings that came with me while I continue to absorb Time. Have fun kid."

Gohan's eyes widened. "Cell's... absorbing Time? But how?"

Goku glared. "Grand Kai told me that just before the day of the Tournament, Cell found a way to absorb more then just living people now. The android soon learn it was possible to absorb the energy of Time, but he'd have to weaken it first by messing it up so badly that Time will start crumbling. From what I've been told, Cell could only do this if he died, but nobody knows why or how, apparently Dr. Gero designed him more complicated then we thought."

"That's just great, even after Cell is dead, he's still endanger the Earth and the everyone's future. What should we do Dad? If Cell continues to do this, then he'll be too powerful for anyone, even me, to stop." Gohan was starting to lose faith.

Goku patted his son's head. "Hey, try not to worry too much about it. It'll be a while before Cell can absorb Time completely. You just focus on taking out his gang of villains for now before they do any more damage to Time."

"Right, I'll save our future, you can count on it!" Gohan said determinedly.

Goku smiled, proud of his son's determination. "Then you better get out of here and get back, I have a feeling my past self is looking for you."

Gohan nodded, put his two fingers to his forehead and disappeared. Goku's smile widened. "That's my boy." then he too disappeared, back to the Otherworld.

It seems Gohan hasn't quite mastered Instant Transmission yet, the hybrid found himself upsidedown again and he was falling towards a rapid river from a cliff. Looking back, he saw his chibi father hanging on to a branch while holding the mother monkey and her child.

"SKY!" Goku yelled in fear when he saw Gohan falling.

Suddenly, Gohan felt someone holding onto him. Looking up from his upsidedown position, the mother monkey had grabbed him with her free hand, but it wasn't his foot she grabbed, she was holding something long, brown and furry, it was...

"My tail! It grew back!" Gohan yelled in shock when he saw his own tail has indeed grown back and the mother monkey grabbed it when he was falling.

Goku's eyes went wide. "S-Sky? I didn't you had a tail too, it looks just like mine."

Oh-no! Why did my tail have to grow back now after all this time? Now how will I explain about having a tail to my past dad? Gohan had to think quick, because Goku was pulling them to solid ground.

"Sky, are you related to me in someway? Because I've never seen another human with a tail before." Goku asked curiously to his future son, who, by now, was sweating bullets trying to think of a believable exscuse while his newly sprouted tail twitched from anxiety.

Uh okay, maybe I should tell him I'm part monkey? No, that's stupid. How about it's a fake tail? But he can see it moving! C'mon, Gohan, use that brain your mother grinded to be as intelligent as Enstine! Gohan frantically thought while Goku waited for his answer.

"Is something wrong? Do you even know why you have a tail?" Goku asked after Gohan didn't answer him for a minute.

That gave the frantic demi-Saiyan an idea. "You're right, Goku. I don't know why I have a tail. Like you, I was just born with it. It got cut off when I was just six years old, but I was surprised to see it grew back so suddenly after all this time."

Could it be that having Dad going Oozaru have something to do with my tail growing back? Gohan briefly wondered.

Goku smiled and wagged his own tail a bit. "Now that we both have tails, maybe we can call each other brothers or something, I've always wanted one."

Trust me, you have a real brother but he's a real nasty one. Gohan cringed, remembering Raditz.

"Even though I have a tail for some reason, I'm still just an ordinary kid. Please don't push me into fighting or anything, okay?" Gohan said, not wanting to show off any of his fighting skills.

"That's fine, I guess. Now we better get that Dragon Ball, it fell in the river somewhere." Goku said, about to get out the Dragon Radar, when a drop of rain suddenly hit his nose. Looking up, the Saiyan and demi-Saiyan boys saw storm clouds covering the sky.

"Looks like we'll have to find shelter for the night and search it tomorrow." Gohan said.

"Aw, you're right Sky." Goku sighed.

The mother and baby monkey motioned the two tailed boys into a nearby cave, where they slept peacefully there until the sun came up the next morning.


Chapter 10, The Ice Age Recometh

Gohan woke up from his dreamless sleep, glad that his chibi dad didn't get all up in his face this time. Goku yawned as he woke up about the same time his future son did.

Gohan was surprised to see his tail until he remembered it grew back yesterday. It feels weird having a tail again after going on so long without it. I suppose I'll just have to get use to it, because I'd rather not cut it off again.

Goku smiled happily as he called the Flying Nimbus. "C'mon Sky, we better find that Dragon Ball now."

"Right. Thanks for everything fellas, you take care now." Gohan waved good-bye to the two monkeys before hopping on the Nimbus Cloud.

Goku and Gohan looked down to see the Red Ribbon Army were digging using shovels, pickaxes, drills and whatever they can use to find one tiny ball in the entire area.

"They're never going to find the Dragon Ball at this rate, they're way off." Goku laughed.

"So where is it?" Gohan asked curiously.

"Should be behind that rock down there." Goku pointed at a distant, away from most of the army.

When the two tailed boys landed, two soldiers of the RRA saw them while they were just leisurely chatting away.

"Hey kids, you two need to scram." one of them said.

Gohan watched Goku and looked at the two soldiers. Uh-oh, if they see my Dad pulling out a Dragon Ball, then there'll be a fight for sure. I'd rather not make an unneccessary scene, but I guess he's not much of the stealthy type. I guess Grandpa Bardock was right; sending Dad back in time would've been disasterous.

"Hey! I resent that Gohan!" adult Goku protested in his son's mind.

Gohan was so shocked by his dead father's protest that he fell down on his tail with a yelp. Chibi Goku turned to him. "Hm? Are you okay Sky? Why'd you fall down like that?"

Gohan stood back up, face turning hot. "It's nothing, something just surprised me, that's all. A certain somebody had to scream in my head."

Adult Goku was chuckling in his son's mind. "That's what you get for calling me dumb, Son."

Dad, you're impossible! Don't read my mind like that! Gohan mentally snapped at the laughing dead Saiyan.

"That kid must be crazy, hearing voices in his head." one of the soldiers said.

Goku dug through some rocks and smiled. "I found it!" he took out a small orange ball with five stars in it.

The two soldiers gasped when they saw what he found. Goku smiled, until he counted the star, then frowned. "Aw, there's one too many stars on this one."

"Goku, you really shouldn't have pulled it out like that. Now these men know we found a Dragon Ball." Gohan sighed, pointing at the two soldiers holding their guns out while smirking evilly at them.

"How did that brat found the Dragon Ball so fast?"

"Dosen't matter, it's our lucky day. Hey you brat! Hand over that Dragon Ball if you know what's good for you."

Goku looked at them while Gohan waited for his clueless dad do realize these were bad people. "Huh? Why do you want this ball?"

"Don't back talk us, hand it over or we'll kill you!"

Goku, not liking how they're talking to him, stuck his tongue out at them. "If you're going to be like that, I'll hand over this!"

"Why you little brat! You're dead!" they fired at the little Saiyan.

Gohan pretended to get scared by the gunfire and ducked his head while Goku jumped to dodge the bullets and kicked the guns out of their hands. Then the Saiyan proceeded to knock them unconscious by slamming his fists on both of their guts.

"You can get up now Sky, they're asleep." Goku assured the demi-Saiyan. Gohan's acting was getting better it seems.

"So, that's not the Dragon Ball you're looking for?" Gohan asked his kid dad.

Goku sighed. "No, this ball has five stars. The Dragon Ball I'm looking for has four. I guess I'll keep it with me for now though."

Goku called for the Flying Nimbus and the yellow cloud arrived, the two tailed boys jumped on it. Goku laughed as he saw the other men still looking for the very thing he just found.

"So where's the next nearest Dragon Ball?" Gohan asked.

Goku checked the Dragon Radar. "They're all so far away, but it looks like this one is the closest to here."

Suddenly, a missle out of nowhere blew up the Nimbus Cloud, both of the tailed boys fell to the ground. Goku landed on his feet, Gohan, having to act like a kid with no experience, purposely fell on his tail.

"Are you okay Sky?" Goku asked in concern.

"Been better, but I'll live." even though the demi-Saiyan hardly felt any pain.

Goku glared at the one resonsible for blowing up their ride. "WHY DID YOU DO THAT FOR! YOU BLEW UP MY NIMBUS CLOUD AND YOU HURT MY FRIEND!"

It was Colonel Silver. "You have something I want, hand it over now or I'll kill you both."

"No way! Why would I hand over anything to a bad man who blew up my Nimbus and hurt Sky?" Goku snapped.

"I don't have time for your complaints brat!" Silver growled.

Goku helped 'Sky' back up to his feet. "Can you walk?"

"Yeah, I can." Gohan smiled that his dad was concerned for him, no matter what Time he's in, Goku always cared for him.

"Don't you ignore me!" Silver lunged at the two tailed boys. Gohan pretended to be scared and yelped while Goku kicked Silver's gut.

"Ugh! He... he kicks... like a donkey..." Silver moaned in pain while holding his stomach.

"C'mon Sky, looks like we'll be walking." Goku said ignoring the Colonel.

"But what about him?" Gohan pointed at Silver who was still in pain.

"Forget about him, he's a bad man and I won't let him hurt you." Goku reassured his future son.

"Wait! I'm not going to let you go with the Dragon Ball!" Silver tried to forget about his pain and tried lunging at them again. Goku, glared at him before slapping his face with his tail hard enough to throw him unconscious into his own base.

"There, he shouldn't bother us anymore. Now how will we get over without the Nimbus?" Goku wondered.

"Hey, maybe they have some Capsules we could use to fly." Gohan suggested pointing at another base of the RRA.

"Great idea Sky! Let's see if they have another Nimbus in a Capsule." Goku smiled while going into the base.

Gohan sweatdropped. "I doubt it'd be possible to put a cloud in a Capsule." before running in after his naive father.

Goku found a Capsule Case and began looking. "Um... which is the flying cloud?"

"Just try them one at a time and see what they have." Gohan suggested.

Goku decided the first Capsule and threw it. A robot popped out. "Aw, that's not a cloud."

"GREETINGS. I AM A ROBOT OF PERSONAL ASSISTANTS, WHAT IS IT YOU NEED?" it said.

"Hey, maybe it could tell us what we need to know. Mr. Robot, could you tell us which Capsules can fly us to the far north?" Gohan asked polietly.

"TRY CAPSULE LABLELED 5, IT SHOULD HAVE WHAT YOU NEED." it said.

Goku smiled as he threw the Capsule and an airplane popped out. "But that's an airplane, Sky and I don't know how to fly it."

Gohan looked at Goku. Actually, I do know how to fly a plane. I learned how at age 7 when that crazy doctor tried to take over my dad's body. but Gohan decided not to tell him.

"I AM PROGRAMED TO BE ABLE TO OPERATE IT FOR YOU. JUST TELL ME THE DESTINATION."

"That's great! C'mon Sky." Goku said happily as he dragged Gohan again, much to the half breed's chagrin.

The robot flew the plane over to the far north. It was getting cold, Goku and Gohan were shivering. "Why is it so cold here?"

"THIS IS THE NORTHERN PART OF THE WORLD, OF COURSE IT'S COLD." the robot said.

"Should've brought a sweater." Gohan grumbled to himself while shivering, his tail wrapped around his leg to help keep warm but not helping much.

As they flew over the snowy mountains, Goku looked at the radar. "Here, take us down."

When the robot didn't land the plane, Goku and Gohan looked at it. "Hey, didn't you hear me? I said take us down."

"MY SERCUITS ARE FROZEN." it said before shutting down.

"Oh-no! Prepare for a crash landing!" Gohan cried. The plane was spiraling out of control and crashed.

The crash seperated the two Saiyan boys. Goku was frozen solid near the crash, while Gohan got blown farther. The demi-Saiyan's upper body was stuck in the snow while his feet and tail were moving around to get himself unstuck.

Gohan managed to pull himself out of the snow and shivered like crazy. Haven't been this cold in a long time, good thing Piccolo taught me how to use ki to warm myself up. Gohan smiled in relief as he warmed his body concentraing his ki energy around himself.

"Good, this'll keep me from freezing to death. I hope Dad's okay, I better go find him." Gohan said to himself as he tried sensing his kid dad.

To the demi-Saiyan's horror, he couldn't feel his ki anywhere. "Oh-no! Did he die in the cold?"

Gohan was about to go into panic mode until he heard his adult dad in his head. "Don't panic Gohan, my past self is fine. You can't sense him because he's frozen solid, but don't worry, a nice girl will save him."

Gohan let out a sigh of relief, he almost had a heart attack. "What would I do without you Dad."

"And you called me dumb earlier." Goku chuckled.

"Let it go Dad." Gohan grumbled.

"Anyway, if I remember correctly, there's a village in this place. If you find that, you'll most likely find my past self and the girl who saved me." Goku said thinking about his past.

The demi-Saiyan looked around the snowy place. "Man, it's like another Ice Age out here. Is there really a village in this place?"

Gohan closed his eyes, maybe if he used Instant Transmission again...

Suddenly, Gohan felt a huge Power Level. Opening his eyes, he gasped when he saw another enemy: Cooler. Frieza's older brother was in his fourth form.

"Well, it looks like the little Saiyan is lost."

"Cooler! Don't think I'll be pushed around by you again, I've become a lot stronger since you last saw me." Gohan warned him.

"So I see, but I'm not going to fight you. Rather, the creatures of the Ice Age will." Cooler buried his tail into the snow, his body had a cold black aura.

Suddenly, the earth shook. Gohan yelped when he saw skeletons of mammoths and saber tooth tigers rising out of their snowy grave, all of them facing the young half Saiyan boy.

"Like it? It's a little technique I learned while in the Otherworld called Rise Of The Undead. I'd figure since it's like the Ice Age here, why not use creatures from that era? Have fun with them kid." Cooler said as he disappeared, most likely using Instant Transmission.

Gohan was surronded by armies of undead mammoths and saber tooth tigers. "Well, Mom always wanted me to see the history of the Ice Age, won't she be proud when she finds out I'm experiencing it?"

Gohan jumped around to avoid being crushed or bitten, the undead animals were unnaturally fast, so it was hard for him to keep dodging them all. Gohan threw some ki blasts at them, but everytime he 'killed' them, they just come back to together.

"What? How am I suppose to defeat them if they won't stay down?" Gohan had no idea how to fight something that's already dead and can't be sent back to the Otherworld by simply destroying their Temporal Mecha.

The mammoths were stomping around, kicking up a lot of snow to the half breed. It was hard for Gohan to concentrate on his ki because if he loses focus, he'll freeze to death.

To Gohan's horror, when he was trying to outrun the undead beasts, he saw a village upahead, that must be the village his dad told him about. The demi-Saiyan saw his kid father, frozen, being pulled by a young girl to her house.

Gohan stopped and looked back at the army of undead mammoths and saber tooth tigers rampaging towards him. This is bad, if I keep running, I'll lead them to the village and they'll destroy everything. Time will be destroyed and it would be all my fault. What am I going to do?

Gohan was trapped. The boy can't beat them, can't use his full power and can't run anywhere, how will he be able to prevent the destruction of Time and the village? Has Cell won? Will anyone be able to aid the demi-Saiyan before it's too late? Find out on the next Part of Gohan's Time Warp Chaos.
