Chapter 4: Two Heroes Journee's Begin

*Izuku's Flashback*

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah," said All Might as he was rescuing civilians from the burning remains of a city. Young Izuku watched this on the tv screen, and he looked like he would almost explode from excitement.

"Fear not citizens! Hope has arrived! Because I am here!"

As soon as his signature phrase was uttered Izuku immediately jumps in the air while holding his All Might figurine, barely able to control his excitement. "He's the coolest in the universe! Once I get my quirk, I'm going to be a hero just like him!"

*Return to Present*

"Sorry kid, it's not going to happen." -Doctor

"Even if I'll never have superpowers."

"You're worse than the rest of these rejects you, quirkless wannabee. Do you think they'll let someone like you in when they could have me? You'd never be able to hang with the best of the best." -Bakugou

"Even if everyone thinks I'm useless."

"I'm sorry Izuku. I wish things were different." -Izuku's mom

"Mom, that's not what I needed you to say, couldn't you see? Despite everything, I still dream, and I must know?"

"Is it possible to become a hero, even if I don't have a quirk? I'm a normal kid without any powers, could I ever hope to be someone like you?!"

All Might stood still for a moment before talking, appearing to be thinking over what Izuku was talking about. "Without a quirk…" However, before he could finish his sentence, All Might started to shake, and his body emitted a plume of steam that rolled off of his entire being. "Oh no, not now dammit! Not here!"

"People think I don't have a chance and not having any powers makes me some kind of weakling. My classmates like to make fun of me, but you know what, that makes me want to prove them wrong. Ever since I was a kid, I thought that saving people was the coolest thing you can do. I want people to see my fearless smile and feel safe and be the kind of hero everyone in the world looks up to, just like you!"

*Poof*

The steam around him fully covered his body, and in a cartoonish fashion, All Might transforms from what was the pinnacle of manliness into a someone who looks like they had anorexia. Midoriya immediately took note of this and screams at the top of his lungs. "Ahhhhh!"

*Tatooine Shopping District*

The red soda bottle that All Might used to capture the slime villain was laying in a back alley in some random part of the city. The villain was unconscious, but he wakes up slowly after a few seconds pass. "Where am I, what happened," said the villain as he tried to get his bearings together. The slime villain then remembered All Might punching him into oblivion earlier. "Oh yeah, that bastard. If it weren't for him, I'd be out of town already."

*Random Alleyway Near The Same Shopping District*

Bakugou could be seen strolling through the alleyway with his friends who were talking as they walked. "That was rough. Weren't you and Midoriya good friends back when you were kids."

The other friend also interjected. "Yeah, you were a little harsh on him today."

Bakugou stopped for a moment before turning around to his friends. "It's his own fault, for getting in my way." He kicks the bottle the slime villain was trapped in, oblivious to the fact that there was a person inside of it. While the group continued to walk away, the villain slowly seeped out from the bottle with its goopy body and escaped from its imprisonment.

"You shouldn't waste your time on the guy."

"Someone's got to teach that worthless nerd how the world really works. I hate it when he talks heroes."

*Both of his friends laugh*

Both of his friends start talking again. "Hey, I got an idea, we should go to the arcade. Get your mind off it, you know."

Bakugou reluctantly agreed, "Fine."

The other friend also made another suggestion, "Or we can sneak into the bar at the station…pick up some ladies…"

The other friend agreed. "Now that's a good idea."

*The monster starts to sneak up behind Bakugou and his friends*

"Idiots! If we get caught, there's no way UA would let me in!"

The two boys look the other way, trembling in fear at what they saw. "Hey what's that?"

Bakugou turns the other way, and the villain stood right in front of him. Bakugou was caught off guard by this and was frightened. "Perfect! I like a skin suit, with some fire," said the villain as he looked at Bakugou and gave him a sinister smile.

*A Portal Appears in The Sky Near the Edge of Hosu City*

A car was driving down a road coming up towards an intersection. A man in the car was talking on the phone with his wife. "Yeah honey, I know it's not the greatest news, but we'll still have time to go on our honeymoon. You know I am—wait what the hell is that?!" A figure fell out of a giant hole in the sky. The body landed directly in front of the vehicle totaling the car and making a massive crater in the road.

"Dammit, I just got this car paid off too," said the man as he got out of his car. He went to the front of his vehicle to assess the damage, but then he notices a child in the center of the impact zone.

"Oh God, that's a kid in there!" The man runs towards the child in the crater and checks him over to see if he was alright. "Hey kid, you are doing alright?" The man was about to use his phone to call an ambulance but was startled by what happened next.

The child stood up from where he was laying and unsuspectingly had no injuries. With closer inspection, the identity of this child was none other than Son Gohan.

"Ah man, that was a long fall, that stung a bit." Gohan checks himself for injuries and realizes that he came out of the ordeal unscathed.

The man was taken aback by this revelation and was still hesitant to dismiss the kid's possible health status. "Do you need me to call your parents? An ambulance? Do you need anything?"

Gohan got up and brushed himself off while saying, "No sir, I don't need anything, thank you though." After he was done cleaning himself off, Gohan took a good look around the area he had landed. The landscape looked so different, almost like he was in an entirely different city. Not because it was a metropolitan area, but none of the buildings looked familiar. Even the clothes the citizens were wearing looked off. Gohan's questions just kept piling up until he asked, "Where am I?"

"You don't know where you are? Did you hurt your head when you fell or something?"

Gohan, annoyed with the man's question, gave him a simple answer. "No."

"Well, I guess since you don't know, you're in Japan. To be exact Hosu City, Japan."

"I've never heard of this city before," thought Gohan as he was still looking around. Gohan tried as hard as he could to remember what had happened previously. He was about to give up before it came back to him all at once. "Oh yeah, the portal! That must explain why I don't know where I am! Of Course," said Gohan out loud.

The man observing all of this next to Gohan gave Gohan a dumbfounded look and was about to question him further but not before Gohan was enveloped in a white aura and flew as if it was a regular everyday occurrence. The man dropped his phone, jaw agape at the sheer sight of what just happened.

"W-wow…I definitely think we need to have a honeymoon. A vacation every now and then isn't so bad right," chuckled the man incredulously as he shakily walked away still in shock.

As he flew towards the unknown, Gohan was catching the attention of the people who were walking down the streets or driving, with some of them trying to take a photo of it as fast as they could. While flying, Gohan pondered of a way he could that he could contact Bulma or to find a way home. However, this ended abruptly when he heard an explosion off in the distance. "What was that?" Gohan could see police cars and firetrucks speeding off in the direction of the blast "Man, that's far away! I should definitely kick it into high gear to see if there are any people in danger!" Gohan increased his speed and rushed as fast as he could towards the area, breaking the sound barrier immediately after the process.

*Earlier*

Midoriya continues to ramble, being scared out of his wits. He was still trying to figure out the identity of the ghastly man who appeared in front of him. "Y….you…you deflated." Midoryia looks around frantically for the Real All Might. "Where'd All Might go!? You….you're not him. You're a fake, an imposter!"

All Might sighs and sits down on a nearby guardrail. "I assure you that I am All Mig- bleh!" While trying to speak, All Might coughs up an excessive amount of blood.

Midoriya scurried back and screamed when this happened, "Impossible!"

All Might collects himself after his coughing episode and begins speaking again. "You know how guys at the pool are always sucking in and flexing and trying to look buff; I'm like that."

Midoriya fought to stay up, still in a state of denial over the whole ordeal. "This can't be real. I'm dreaming. All Mights a giant of a man who saves everyone. He defeats all obstacles and wins the day with a fearless smile."

"There's plenty of fear behind that smile. I'm counting on you to keep your mouth shut. Don't go talking about this online or telling your friends." Midoriya gives All Might a look of befuddlement, but then just nods his head in agreement. All Might pulls up his shirt and shows a massive scar on his mid-torso. "Pretty gross right? I got this in a big fight five years back. My respiratory system was basically destroyed. I lost my whole stomach. All the surgeries have pretty much worn me out, and it can't be fixed. Right now, I can only do hero work for about 3 hours a day. The rest of the time, this is what I look like."

Midoriya became a bit unsettled by this revelation and questioned All Might further. "No way? Five years ago? So, does that mean it was the fight with Toxic Chainsaw?"

All Might gave Midoriya an impressed look then went back to talking. "Wow, you know your stuff. But no, that punk may have landed some hits, but he couldn't bring me down. Most of the world has never heard of this fight. I did everything I could to keep it under wraps. I'm supposed to be the guy that's always smiling right. I'm the symbol of peace. People everywhere have to think that I am never afraid, but honestly, I smile to hide the fear inside. It's just a brave face I put on when the pressure is high. This job isn't easy. Pro-Heroes are always having to risk their lives. Some villains just can't be beaten without powers. So, no I honestly don't think you could become a hero without a quirk."

Midoriya looks down at the ground, wearing a look of disappointment and shock on his face after All Might said this. "I see…"

All Might gets up from where he was leaning on the guard rail and begins to walk away. He turns his head around and talks to Midoriya before leaving. "If you want to help people there are plenty of other ways to do it. You could become a police officer. They get crap because the heroes capture most of the villains, but it's a fine profession. It's not bad to have a dream young man, just makes sure your dreams are attainable…realistic, understand."

All Might exits the roof of the building through the door and closes it behind him with Midoryia having a broken, defeated look on his face. All Might continues to walk down the stairs and reaches down towards his pocket to grab the villain he captured from earlier. "Now let's get you to the station…" All Might checks his pockets, and to his astonishment, nothing was there. He then Frantically looks for the villain in the bottle, but he couldn't find him anywhere.

*Boom*

An explosion out in the distance averted All Mights attention from the villain he was looking for and immediately gives him a moment of realization. All might grabs his pocket in frustration, quickly realizing his folly. "Not good!"

Midoriya stood still on the roof mulling over what All Might had told him before he heard the explosion as well. "A villain? I wonder which hero will show?" Initially interested in the unfolding events, he became disheartened after remembering what All Might told him. With haste, All Might left the building and ran to the scene where the explosion was coming from.

*Tatooine Shopping District Welcome*

Audible Screams filled the city streets as fire erupted and windows shattered from explosions in an alleyway. People ran past kiosk stands and ducked for cover as burning signs and rubble fell from rooftops. Three heroes ran up to the alleyway and began to assess the situation in front of them. "It's taken someone hostage," said Backdraft. As the heroes began to prepare for their engagement with the villain, he began to thrash around violently trying to hold the child in place. Desutegoro smashed his fists together, ready to engage in combat with the villain.

"How dare you prey on a child!" Desutegoro jumped up into the air, swooped down and punched the villain, only for it to be absorbed by his gelatinous body. "What the hell is this? Some kind of goo?"

The villain swung a tentacle at Desutegoro which made him fly back a few feet into a metal wall, knocking him down. "You ok Desutegoro," Asked one of his sidekicks.

"Heads up," said the other hero as a fist of goo comes barreling down towards them.

The villain began flailing his arms around everywhere sporadically and did everything in his power to stop the heroes from taking his soon to be vessel. "Ah! Stay back, or I'll snap his neck!" The villain looked down and smiled at Bakugou who was struggling to break free.

"AAAhhhhhh! You picked the wrong guy to mess with," said Bakugou. "I'm going to send you back to whatever sewer you crawled out of!" Bakugou lights his hands ablaze, creating miniature explosions that then erupted into a massive big one. "Let me goooooo!" His explosions continue to grow more violent, destroying more stands and buildings in the process.

Desutegoro, along with the rest of the heroes cross their arms, protecting themselves from the blasts. "You've got so much power, I've hit the jackpot! With a quirk like yours under my control, I can take All Might down with one punch," said the villain has he strangled the life out of Bakugou while the heroes watched in horror.

"Woaaaahhhh! Is that some type of special move!? This dude is a legit supervillain," said one random bystander watching in awe.

The crowd gazed for a second before girls in the crowd interrupted everybody's stupor by screaming, "It's her!" Mt. Lady came into view and was ready to step in to stop the fight.

"That new hero Mt. Lady will stop him."

Mt. Lady was about to act but then gives a worried look, seeming to realize that something was a problem. "My only weakness! I need at least a two-lane road if I'm going to make my way through here!"

Kamui Woods comes swooping down from a nearby rooftop and saves Bakugou's two friends with his signature special move. "Fire and wood don't exactly make a good combination. I'll let someone else stop this guy." He jumps away and takes the boys away from the wall of fire surrounding the villain

"Don't look at me; I've got my hands full here," said Backdraft as he tried to put out the fires. "Where are those fire trunks?!"

"Can you guys get to him? I can't get a grip on his weird body, plus that kid's quirk is causing explosions left and right," said Desutegoro.

"This is a shutout, we've got to rally and knock him out of the park somehow," said one of Desutegoro's sidekicks.

Bakugou continues to struggle as the monster starts to pull him further into his being. As this was happening, a gelatinous arm comes barreling towards Desutegoro and his sidekick. "It's no good, none of us have the right quirks to stop a villain like this. We'll do damage control until someone with the right power shows up."

"There are still plenty of people to save. Don't worry, I'll bet every hero in the city is coming," said Kamui Woods.

Desutegoro looks at Bakugou in frustration because of his inability to save him. "I'm sorry kid; you'll just have to hold on a little bit longer. Damn! If I only had more strength, I could blow this guy away!"

People in the crowd were starting to get anxious from the heroes seemingly hitting a roadblock in their endeavor to save Bakugou. "Uh, this is bad. Maybe we should run?"

All Might runs up to the scene panting heavily, and when he makes it, he leans on a nearby poll to catch his breath. While he is incognito behind everyone else, the crowd starts cheering, trying to boost the moral in this hopeless situation. "C'mon heroes you've got this!"

While he was watching the scene before him, All Might remembers Midoriya hanging onto his leg and the subsequent loss of the villain because of it. "Must have dropped it in the air. I was distracted, worrying about my time limit. I can't believe I made such a rookie mistake and after lecturing that kid about what it takes to be a hero. I'm pathetic!"

*A few minutes earlier*

Izuku walks on the sidewalk reading his journal acting very somber with the words All Might told him fresh in his mind. As he kept walking, Izuku sighs and begins to talk to himself. "Even All Might said it, a hero needs a quirk. Don't cry dammit! Deep down you knew this, all along, you've just been avoiding reality, that's why you were trying so desperately to prove yourself wrong." Another explosion happened, and it seemed to be closer to Izuku this time. "That's strange, is the fight from earlier still going on?" Izuku's heartbeat raced started to race as he had a miniature existential crisis. "Why am I here? Did I subconsciously walk this way, just to check it out?" I shouldn't even stop; all my notes are useless." Izuku looked at the scene for a split second and was astonished when he was able to make out who the villain was. "That's the guy who attacked me! That can't be right; All Might captured him! But the bottle, if he dropped it, that means…It's my fault."

A random bystander in the crowd talks and weighs in on the situation. "Why aren't the heroes doing anything?"

Another person responds. "It looks like they've met their match, plus the villain captured a kid. Things aren't looking good for him."

Izuku looks at the villain and starts to think about his previous escape from death at his hands. "Uh, he caught someone? I wonder how long they've been in there? How could they survive being suffocated like that? I thought I'd die only after a few seconds of struggling."

People in the crowd were starting to become unsettled by the lack of heroes doing anything. "Oh man! Wait I'm confused, isn't that the villain All Might was chasing earlier today?"

"What, All Might!? No way he lost!? Where is he!?"

"Well, can someone call him or something!?"

"Seriously, why hasn't he shown up to help the heroes?"

All Might was hiding behind the crowd writhing in pain while he grasps chest in the process. As this was simultaneously happening, Izuku put his hand up to his mouth looking like he was about to vomit. "I'm the one to blame, and he wasted his energy on me."

"I'm worthless," said All Might

"He can't power up yet, and none of the other heroes have the quirks to stop this monster."

"So pathetic."

"It's my fault, and I'm sorry, so sorry."

"A disgrace."

"Hope will show up and save the day I'm sure."

"I'm not a real hero."

"Someone, a real hero, will come soon."

While All Might and Izuku were thinking, Izuku's gaze happened to fall upon the person captive by the villain. To his astonishment, Bakugou was the one who was struggling against the villain. Izuku looked in horror at Bakugou and then rushed towards him. Everyone turned to Izuku has he ran.

"No, you idiot. Stop you're going to get yourself killed," said Desutegoro as he reached out towards Izuku.

The villain saw Izuku running towards him and was quick to deduce who he was. "Not this brat again."

At the same time, Bakugou saw Izuku running towards him to save him. "Deku?"

Izuku continued to run towards Bakugou and thought to himself while he was running. "What am I doing!? Why am I running!? Why can't I stop!?"

The villain smiled at Izuku and was ready to come at him with killing intent. "Your toast kid."

"What do I do? What would a hero do right now?" Izuku thinks back to his journal and remembers the notes he wrote down to use a tactic from them. "Pg. 25, right!" Izuku throws his backpack at the villain. "Take this!" The backpack hits the villain in the face which makes him lose his grip on Bakugou slightly. "Ka-Chan," yelled Izuku as he finally was able to reach the slime villain.

Bakugou opens his eyes to see Midoriya clawing at the villain's body to save him. "What the hell!? Why are you here!?"

"I don't know, my legs they just started moving." The villain regains his grip on Bakugou and begins to strangle Bakugou harder. "Ka-Chan, I couldn't just stand there and watch you die."

Bakugou became increasingly more annoyed at Izuku and began to thrash about violently. "Get the hell off me!"

"I have to do something no matter what cost!"

"Just a little bit longer kid and I'm done playing with you," thought the villain as he was about to strike Izuku down.

All the heroes present rushed towards Izuku to try and save him. "Save the boy this thing will kill him."

It looked like all hope was lost until…"I really am pathetic."

Izuku stuttered in astonishment and looked towards his side to see a familiar face protecting him from the villain's attack. "All Might?"

"I told you the traits to make a great champion. But I see now that I wasn't really living up to my own ideals. Pros are always risking their lives, that's the true test of a hero."

The villain screamed out in anger towards All Might as he was getting beat down by his attacks. "Damn you all to hell!"

All Might charged up his power and was in the process of throwing his signature punch. "Detroit Smaaa—," All Might was about to hit the villain, but something unexpected stopped him from doing so.

"Psyche," A tentacle appeared behind All Might which struck him, sending him barreling back into a nearby wall.

"Now that's out of the way, let's get back to killing you."

"I can't believe it!? All Might was defeated?!" Izuku closed his eyes, ready to accept his fate. "I guess this is where it ends, I'm going to die here!"

The villain raised his arm up into the air and was about to strike Izuku, but a voice interrupted his attack. "Hey, you down there! Leave those people alone!" Everyone including the monster looked up to where the voice was coming from and were astonished when they were able to make out that it was a young boy floating in the air. "KAAAAAAA!" Gohan put his hands together "MEEEEEEE!" A blue light started forming in his hands. "HAAAAAAAA!" The blue light started to shine like a star and began to rotate. "MEEEEEEE!" Gohan disappeared out of thin air and reappeared down on the ground in front of the villain. With the roar of a thousand lions, he uttered the words. "HAAAAAAA!" The bright blue light was sent towards the villain at incomprehensible speeds and enveloped his body completely. As it was being fired, the shockwave blew back anything in the immediate vicinity, with Izuku, and the rest of the heroes getting sent flying back into the crowd. The villain was carried by this blue light up into the sky and was sent off into the distance, seemingly traveling to infinity. The light cleared, rubble could be seen floating from the air, and a huge crater in the ground was seen in the villain's place. Bakugou was blown into the air by the attack, and once he stopped ascending, he began to fall back to the ground.

"Oh Shit," said Bakugou as he continued to fall. Because of the villain suffocating him and the shockwave from the attack, Bakugou was a bit dazed and was unable to use his quirk to right himself. Everyone in the crowd gasped and closed their eyes for what was about to happen. However, as a few seconds passed, they didn't hear the "splat" sound they expected to hear. When everyone opened their eyes, they saw that Gohan was holding Bakugou in his arms in midair. Everybody in the crowd was speechless including all the heroes, Izuku, and All Might. Gohan descended towards the ground and when he reached it, laid Bakugou down and floated back up. He eventually stopped at a certain point outstretched his arm and gave a thumbs up while smiling with his dad's son grin. It took the crowd a few seconds to register what happened, but when they finally understood, they roared in applause and were cheering like there was no tomorrow.

*About 10 Minutes Later*

After Gohan saved the day, the police found the villain miles from the city in a giant crater in the middle of the forest. Interviewers flocked towards this mysterious boy, trying to figure out who he is and where he came from. "Young man, that was an awesome display of power!"

"Where did you come from and more importantly, what kind of quirk do you have?"

"Do you happen to know All Might?" "Do you have family who are heroes?"

"Have you enrolled at U.A?"

"I…Uh…can't answer that right now, I think I am going to have to leave." As Gohan said this, he flew off in a flash into the air and out of sight.

"You moron, do you have a deathwish? There was absolutely no reason for you to put yourself in danger like that." Izuku got chewed out by the heroes while Bakugou was praised for his bravery.

"Man, your tough kid and that quirk is something else," said Birdman. "When you want to go pro, head over to my agency first, I'd love for you to be my sidekick during your training."

*Later*

"I wanted to apologize to All Might, but he was swarmed by interviewers, I didn't want to interrupt. I can always try to send a message through his website when I get home."

"Deku!" Bakugou came up behind a street corner and ran towards Izuku while gasping for air.

"Ka-Chan," said Izuku in a confused tone.

"Listen, I would never ask for a weakling like you to help me! Don't think you can look down on me! I was fine by myself! You're just a quirkless failure who won't even cut it as a rent-a-cop! You didn't help me! You did nothing, don't forget it! I don't owe you anything!"

Bakugou then storms off in a childish tantrum, apparently pissed that Izuku had a hand in saving him. "What was that?" Izuku has a bead of sweat that drips down his forehead in a comedic fashion. "Ka-chan is right though, it's not like I actually did anything to help today, but at least I tried. Now that I think about it, we were all saved by that weird kid with the spikey blonde hair? I wonder who that was, a sidekick maybe? If anything, we should all be thanking him. Oh well, I guess now I should get back to giving up on my dreams."

As Izuku continued to sulk and walk home, a familiar voice stopped him right in his tracks. "I am here!" All Might makes a dramatic entrance from another street corner Izuku was walking by.

Midoriya was startled by this and screams at the top of his lungs. "Ah! All Might! Why are you here!?" Izuku looks around frantically, trying to see if there was anyone else around. "How did you get rid of all those reporters?"

All Might laughed and posed while doing so. "I stand for justice, not soundbites! Because I…I am All Mi-"

*Poof*

All Might changes back into his slender form and coughs up blood in the process much to Izuku's discomfort. "Young man, I came here to thank you and also to discuss your questions from earlier." Izuku gave All Might a puzzled look, not following what he was saying. "If you hadn't told me about your life, if you hadn't run into that fight, I would have been a worthless bystander watching from the crowd, so thanks."

Izuku blushed at All Might's complement and became a bit bashful. "Oh no. It was my fault he was there, to begin with. I got in the way of your hard work, I wasted your energy and not to mention your time…"

All Might put up his hand and stopped Izuku from speaking any further. "I'm not done. You told me you didn't have a power. So, when I saw this timid quirkless boy try to save a life, it inspired me to act too." Izuku stares at All Might with a look of surprise on his face from what he said. "There are stories about every hero. How they became great. Most have one thing in common. Their bodies moved before they had a chance to think, almost on their own."

Izuku's eyes started to water up from All Might's words, and he began to think about his past. "For some reason, I remembered my mother words at that moment."

"Today young man, that's what happened to you."

"You never told me, mom, back then the thing I wanted you to say, the words I needed to hear."

"Young man, you too can become a hero." Izuku bent over and began to bawl, with tears streaming down his face.

"Dreams can become a reality, oh, by the way, I forgot to mention, that this is the story of how I became the world's greatest hero."

"Hey, I forgot to ask you something."

Izuku looked back up at All Might while wiping the tears of his face. "Yeah, what is it?

"That boy from earlier, he seemed to be around your age. Do you know who he is…a classmate maybe?

Izuku knew what All Might was talking about and thought back to the boy who saved them earlier. "No, I don't know who that was, I was just thinking about that just before you showed up."

"I see, well, whoever he was, I wanted to thank him personally. Not only that, but I wanted to know more about the power he possessed."

All Might began to think about the boy's display of power from earlier with him having an intrigued look on his face while doing so. "I've never seen a quirk do what he did. His power just seemed, otherworldly and the blue light, what was that?" All Might stopped thinking and spoke to himself out loud. "I'll have to find him later and make sure to figure everything out."

"And sometimes in every story, there's more than one great hero who emerges."

A/N: I just want to apologize for not getting this chapter out sooner. I know some of you must have been wondering why I haven't been posting recently and the best answer I can give you is college. I have been swamped with classes, and I am still behind on work, so I had a plethora of other things I needed to attend before this. However, I am glad I finally got this out, and I hope you guys like it. I tried to improve on my style while I was gone, and any constructive criticism would be appreciated.

P.S.: From this chapter onward, I will no longer be using direct words from the show. I just wanted to get to a point where I thought I could move along the story without adding in the dialogue from the source material. Also, I would like to know how I did with my take on Gohan's character and the rest of the casts. I watched both shows often (especially DBZ) and tried my hardest to capture their essence.

P.S.S: This chapter was super rough around the edges. I am deeply sorry for how bad it was; it was a train wreck. However, I think I fixed everything that needed to be fixed and added more exposition where needed. Also, I split the chapter up and am going to replace the next chapter with the portion that I split up. That's all for this one and as always have a good day/night and remember, Plus! Ultra!
