What Gohan hated about seeing the future was knowing there was nothing you could do to save people. As he watched Frezia kill the Namekians he wished that the visions he saw didn't end in tragedy. He could stop Frezia sooner, tell everyone to run, and destroy the scouters. He would die, and Krillin as well. Gohan could also destroy the scouters, take Dende and run, and hope that a few of the Namekians would survive. If by chance some did survive, the battle with Frezia would be short.
Goku powers up for the Spirit Bomb, the survivors lend their energy, and the Spirit Bomb would be strong enough to defeat Frezia. Vegeta wouldn't live on Earth, Trunks would never be conceived, and in years to come everyone would be dead. The outcomes were never pleasant if Gohan tampered with the timeline. All Gohan knew was that he needed his father to defeat Frezia, and to make sure Trunks arrives from the future to give Goku the cure for the heart virus.
Earth depended on it.
Gohan watched as Zarbon and Vegeta fought, knowing full well Vegeta was going to destroy him. Still, he wanted to make some sort of changes on Namek. His tail flickered back and forth as he looked at the moons in the sky. The moons are Namek did not have the same effect as the moon on Earth. There was no such thing as night on Namek, and there was no moonlight to make him transform.
The four start dragonball was near him. One change he made was not getting kneed in the stomach by Vegeta. Gohan dropped the dragonball in the water, and floated there waiting for Vegeta. Words were exchanged, excuses were made, and Vegeta was too concerned about the dragonball he had hid. Once Vegeta left, Gohan went in the water to retrieve the dragonball.
Vegeta was ticked off, and Bardock just laughed.
Gohan knew he would team up with Vegeta soon. The Ginyu force will take the dragonballs, and he would have to fight. Guldo could stop time, and no matter what he or Krillin did they couldn't stop him. Gohan's eyes went cloudy as he tried to figure out a way to take care of Guldo. Sneak attacks wouldn't work very well. It would be hard to attack another member of the Ginyu Force with Guldo alive.
There was a way to take care of Racoome. Even though he was strong, Gohan could dodge a few of his attacks. As long as he didn't get hit hard he would have enough energy to weaken Racoome. Gohan wouldn't have to worry about breaking his neck either. Goku will arrive, take care of Racoome while Vegeta took care of Jeice and Burter. Ginyu…Gohan could stop Ginyu from transferring bodies with his father.
"Kakarot needs to be injured. He needs to be out of the way for a while, plus his anger needs to build in order for him to be a super saiyan," Bardock said.
"You just want to see Vegeta die," Gohan commented.
"His father let our people die, yet his son survives."
"Then why aren't you taking your anger out on his father? You can travel to the Otherworld to see him."
Bardock turned up his nose.
"King Vegeta doesn't have his body."
"Does Raditz?"
"…he does. I don't know how the Otherworld works. Some people can keep their bodies, and some people don't."
"Some people becomes ghosts," Gohan added.
As predicted, by Gohan and Bardock, Zarbon was taking care of. Now they had to fly over to Bulma, get the dragonball from her, and eventually meet the Ginyu Force.
Gohan watched as everything played out. The Ginyu Force danced around, posed, and Captain Ginyu took the dragonballs. Guldo was excited to fight Gohan and Krillin, and as Gohan stood in a fighter's stance his eyes became cloudy. Vegeta saw that look before, and as he watched Krillin and Gohan fight he saw something peculiar.
Gohan seemed one step ahead. Guldo would stop time, move to a certain spot, and Gohan would be making his way over. Krillin was confused as well. He wasn't as quick as Gohan, and while he attacked air Gohan was already heading towards Guldo. Even Guldo was having trouble running around, and had to hide. He was trying to catch his breath behind a rock, but was quickly found. Gohan shot a ki blast at the rock revealing Guldo behind it.
Even though Gohan couldn't defeat Guldo, he could at least play a bit of cat and mouse. (Author's note: Guldo is slightly stronger than Gohan, at least in this fanfiction.)
"H-how do you know where I'm going," Guldo exclaimed. Gohan stood there, arm stretched out from his attack, not saying a word. Vegeta recalled his fight with Gohan. He was well hidden, but Gohan knew where his hiding spots were. Sure Gohan could sense ki, but that quickly?
Guldo took a deep breath as Gohan shot an energy beam at him. Time was frozen, and Guldo needed to kill either Gohan or Krillin. Considering the kid was ticking him off, Guldo decided to attack Gohan. Sadly, he couldn't hold his breath much longer, and flew up to the sky.
Vegeta watched as Gohan's energy ball flew up, and explode. When the smoke cleared he saw Guldo with his armor slightly broken. Vegeta gasped.
'How did the brat know he was there,' Vegeta thought. Gohan looked over at Vegeta.
"Do you want to finish him off, or should I," he asked. Vegeta growled under his breath. He charged up an energy attack, and used it to attack Guldo. With no breath left, and the dust blinding him, Vegeta's energy attack hit the three eyed frog. The rest of Ginyu Force watched at Guldo exploded into pieces.
"I thought beheading him was cooler," Bardock commented. "You just wanted to make some sort of change, didn't you?"
Gohan only smiled at him. Vegeta stomped his way over to Gohan. He noticed Gohan snapping his attention, eyes cloudy. Vegeta stopped. Gohan's antics were starting to frustrate him.
"My turn," Racoome shouted. Gohan and Vegeta snapped their attention back to the Ginyu Force. After Racoome did a few dance moves, Bardock shook his head and looked at Gohan.
"So…I'm going to assume you don't want your neck broken," Bardock asked.
"Not if I can help it," Gohan answered. Vegeta glanced over at Gohan. He watched as the child's eyes went cloudy. Both Gohan and Krillin attacked Racoome, and Vegeta never let his eyes away from Gohan. He noticed how Gohan was able to dodge, and made hits on the giant ogre. Sadly, Gohan wasn't as strong, and the hits on Racoome didn't do any damage.
Krillin was quickly taken out. Racoome powered up for an attack, and Gohan stood there. The attack was released, and Gohan powered up himself.
"Ka…me…ha…me…ha!" Gohan shouted. The Kamehameha wave hit Racoome's attack making both attacks null. Vegeta couldn't believe his eyes. Racoome hid in the dirt, and shot energy balls in hopes to hit Gohan. The half saiyan stood still as the energy balls flew by him. Only once did Gohan turn his head to the side to dodge an energy ball.
The entire time Gohan's eyes remained cloudy.
Racoome was starting to get angry.
"You…you punk," Racoome shouted. The dirt was gone, and Gohan stood with no damage.
"Uh kid…the next few minutes are not going to be fun for you," Bardock said.
"It's better than my neck being broken," Gohan said as he looked at Jeice and Burter behind him.
"I'm pretty sure this is going to be more painful than a broken neck."
Gohan looked over at Bardock, and saw the next few minutes of his future. Bardock shrugged his shoulders, and watched as the future came to life.
Burter, with his quick speed, grabbed Gohan by the arms. He laughed as Racoome casually made his way over. Vegeta stood and watched as Racoome started punching Gohan in the stomach. Burter released Gohan. Racoome kicked Gohan in the ribs. Gohan was sent flying into a boulder, and crashed. Racoome started to laugh.
"Not so quick are you now," Racoome said as he charged up another attack. Gohan pulled himself out of the rubble. Just as he stood up Racoome's attack was coming his way.
"And this is where it's going to hurt," Bardock said. Racoome's attack hit Gohan, and the energy ball surrounded Gohan's body. He screamed. "A broken neck doesn't sound so bad now does it?"
Gohan landed on his stomach. He was able to do a push-up, and saw Racoome heading his way.
"What else can I do to you," he said as he cracked his knuckles. "I know. I'll pretend your body is a hacky sack. Hehehe."
"Two more minutes," Bardock said looking at his imaginary watch. "You know, you're just seeing bits and pieces of what's going to happen instead of the whole thing. If you picked one future you will know what's going to happen to you."
"I was h-hoping to s-s-stop Racoome before he h-hurt Vegeta," Gohan said. He cough up some blood. Bardock glared at the prince.
"Why?"
"Heh." Gohan stood up on his feet, and swayed back and forth. "I guess I feel like being nice today."
Racoome kick Gohan in his ribcage. Gohan was sent flying, and before Gohan hit a nearby tree, Racoome appeared and kicked him once again.
"This is fun," Racoome said as he kicked Gohan around.
"One minute," Bardock said with his arms folded. Gohan was flying up towards the air. Racoome was waiting for him, hands clenched over his head, and when Gohan was close enough Racoome swung his arms, hitting Gohan in the back. Gohan was sent flying towards the ground and crashed, creating a hole in the ground. Racoome landed near the hole and laughed. "At least your neck is not broken!"
Gohan laid unconscious in the ground. Bardock shook his head, and watched as Goku, finally, appeared.
Everything played out. Gohan and Krillin were cured with a senzu bean, Racoome was taken care of, and soon the fight with Captain Ginyu was near the end. Gohan did his best to let everything play out. He didn't want to see the future, and found it weird. His training with Piccolo kicked in as he sensed out energy instead of seeing what was coming.
Ginyu/Goku got a few good hits on Gohan. Vegeta noticed that Gohan's eyes remained the same.
Once the fight was over, Gohan and Krillin carried Goku into Frezia's spaceship. Vegeta lead the way to the healing chamber, and started to hook Goku up.
"Kakarot can heal faster if his clothes were off," Bardock commented. Gohan looked up at him. "The clothing gets in the way of the liquid and delays healing."
"Were you ever in there before," Gohan asked. Vegeta, distracted, wasn't paying attention to the world around him. Goku watched Gohan as he talked to his imaginary friend. Once the teal liquid filled the tank, Gohan made sure to say bye to his father. Bardock looked down at his slightly beaten son.
"Go ahead without me. I'll stay and watch him," Bardock said. "Don't change anything, got that?"
"I won't," Gohan said as he and Krillin headed out. Vegeta followed the two with his arms folded.
'The brat talks to himself out loud and baldy doesn't notice,' Vegeta thought.
"Hey brat," Vegeta snapped. Gohan, and Krillin, turned at the name. "Why are you talking to yourself out loud?"
"Sometimes I need an expert opinion," Gohan replied. Vegeta growled under his breath.
"What about that thing your eyes do?"
"Eye Spasms."
"You have an excuse for everything, don't you?" Gohan remained silent. "You need new clothes. There's armor over there you can change into."
Krillin was the first to see the armor. He pulled out something Nappa wore on Earth. Not a huge fan of the armor, Krillin shrugged and tried to figure out how to put it on. With help from Vegeta, if you call it help, Krillin put on the saiyan armor. Gohan, on the other hand, searched through a few drawers for a particular kind of armor. He wore black spandex pants, and found a pair of red boots. They weren't what he was looking for, but it was better than nothing,
Vegeta watched as Gohan searched. The brat was already getting on his nerves, and now he was throwing armor on the ground.
"Just pick something," Vegeta yelled. After a few more minutes, and putting the armor back in the closet, Gohan finally found the armor he was looking for.
"Eh…it doesn't suit you," Krillin said. The straps on Gohan's shoulder were a moss green, matching the two plates that hung from Gohan's hips. The chest plate was black, but the stomach guard matched the same green color. Gohan wrapped his tail around his waist as he looked in the mirror. "I think it's the hair that's ruining the suit."
"Yeah, you're right," Gohan said agreeing. An idea perked in his head. "I know!"
Gohan grabbed the orange sash from his gi. He ripped it in two, and took one half and tied it around his head. Gohan smiled as he showed Krillin the newly added accessory.
"Still can't take you seriously," Krillin said. Even with the makeshift bandana, Gohan didn't look dangerous.
"Why that one," Vegeta asked. He knew the armor all too well. It reminded him of the idiot in the rejuvenation tank's father.
"Green is my favorite color," Gohan replied. Vegeta took the excuse. He didn't feel like dealing with the brat.
"Whatever. I'm taking a nap. You two watch the dragonballs," Vegeta said.
Gohan, knowing what was going to happen, decided to let the future run its course. He needed to make sure his father became a super saiyan, and did everything without changing a thing. They got Dende, wished Piccolo back to life, and watched as the dragonballs turned into nothing but stone. Vegeta was furious, but his temper tantrum was cut short when they felt a strong power level in the distance.
Frezia landed in front of them. Angry that the dragon disappeared, Frezia couldn't wait to tear the earthlings, and Vegeta, in two. He landed, and all three started to tremble. Frezia smirked. Oh how he loved bringing fear to people. Something about the shaking bodies, surprised eyes, and false hope just made him so happy.
His happiness was distracted by a bowl cut, green armor, and a saiyan tail.
"Is that spawn yours," Frezia asked Vegeta. He pointed a white, black nail, finger at Gohan.
"He's Kakkarot's kid," Vegeta answered. He hid his fear, and let his anger aid him. "Another saiyan survived the blast. You'll get to meet him soon."
"He looks like the one saiyan that tried to stop me." Frezia's nose twitched. "Doesn't matter. I'm going to kill you all anyway."
The fight wasn't fair.
Frezia went through all his transformation, killed Dende, and was powerful than ever. Bardock waited until Goku was fully healed before heading back to meet Frezia. He, like Vegeta, was mad at the alien. He, like Vegeta, was surprised that Frezia had more than one transformation. He, like Vegeta, didn't like the saiyan armor Gohan was wearing. It was the hair.
Frezia looked at Goku, and back at Gohan.
"That thing is your son," Frezia asked, once again pointing at Gohan. Goku stood in front of Gohan. His action answered Frezia's question.
"Uh Gohan…what did you do when I was with Kakarot?" Bardock asked. He was standing next to Gohan.
"You know…if you wore that armor I'd say you were the saiyan that tried to stop me," Frezia continued. "Yes, I see it now. I must have murdered your father the day I destroyed your planet."
"Is that supposed to upset me," Goku asked, smirking. "From what you're telling me my father sounds like a strong man, and died a hero."
"I wouldn't call him a hero. He was more of a weakling, a pest that just got in the way."
"I can't wait until my son kicks your ass!"
Frezia killed Vegeta, and Bardock didn't feel the satisfaction when the prince died. He thought he would be happy, but he wasn't.
Didn't matter. His son, Kakarot, was well into battle with Frezia. He left Gohan, Piccolo, and Krillin to watch the fight. Being dead had its advantages, especially when you couldn't get hurt watching a fight. Even though he was dead, Bardock raised his hands to help out with the Spirit Bomb. He was too excited. His son was going to transform into a super saiyan. It was a vision that he had seen, and he was so glad he was there to see it.
At last, Goku aimed his Spirit Bomb at Frezia, and left a nice dent in the planet.
Gohan looked over at Krillin. In mere moments, Piccolo was going to save his father and Krillin was going to die. There was nothing he could do, and he hated it. There were advantages of seeing the future, but it was a curse more than anything. Even though he could see his dead grandfather Gohan wished he lived a normal life. Well, his life was far from normal but he could live without seeing the future.
Gohan watched the scene play out. Frezia attack his father, Piccolo took the hit, and Frezia showed his ugly face. In his vision, Frezia pointed his finger at Krillin, sent him flying in the air, and killed him. His father would be mad, and all the emotion would be released.
Goku would be a super saiyan.
Though something was off.
Bardock noticed a finger pointed at Gohan, and not at Krillin. Gohan noticed too, and quickly tapped into his vision. His eyes went wide as he saw the change. Krillin wasn't the one going to die.
Goku and Bardock watched as Gohan was sent flying through the air. Gohan felt his chest heat up, and his stomach felt like it was going to explode.
"Gohan," Goku and Bardock screamed.
"Bardock…Daddy…hel-" Gohan's cries were cut off. Goku, Bardock, and Krillin watched as the child exploded into millions of pieces.
"I killed your father, and now I killed your son," Frezia said laughing. "Don't worry. You'll have a nice family reunion once I kill you."
Bardock waited for this moment since the day he arrived on Earth. He awaited the day where he could see his son defeat Frezia. Watching Kakarot defeat Frezia was a dream come true, since he wasn't strong enough to take down the tyrant himself many years ago.
The ground around Goku started to vibrate. Krillin took a few steps back as Goku, blinded by rage, power increased. Bardock took a few steps back as he watched Goku's hair fading from black to yellow. Even with Gohan's death Goku was fighting the power within him.
Goku was going to turn into a super saiyan…
…and as much as Bardock wanted to see the fight, watch the full transformation, there was something more important that the fight with Frezia.
Bardock needed to find Gohan in the other world.
END CHAPTER! (I put in those line things to separate page breaks. Hope they worked)
What could be so important that Bardock had to miss Goku's transformation? I guess you won't know until next chapter!
Sorry for the long update. I got extremely busy at work, and could get many chapters done. I do have a new laptop at home, so I'll be able to type up a few chapters there. (Yay!)
lightshadow101 made a comment that Gohan, in the first chapter, told Chi-Chi about Bardock and planet Vegeta. Lo and behold a saiyan, named Vegeta, came to the planet from the home planet Vegeta. I had an idea of how I was going to bring it in the story, but then another thought crossed the mind which I thought would be better.
Since some of you wanted more changes I decided to change just a few things, mostly with Guldo. Gohan can predict what will happen next in a short span of time, see changes with the choices he makes, and can see the full future as it should be. (Which is what us fan saw in DBZ.) And I apologize if I messed up some of the Namek saga. I can't remember exactly how it played out, so let's just called it another change Gohan made. ^^;
