I do not own any aspect of DBZ. Akira Toriyama does.
Chapter 7
The Assault on Earth part 4:
Father is Here
Gohan, with no one else left, turns to a quivering Krillin. Krillin was staring, wide eyed, at the monster that was his best friend's son.
"G-GOOOKKUUUUUU!" he cried out, "WHERE ARE YOU!?"
Goku, there was that name again: Goku. Who WAS this person. Suddenly, Vegeta spoke up.
"This 'Goku' is Kakarot, isn't he?"
"…"
"ISN'T HE!?"
"y-yes"
"And he's dead."
Krillin smirked at this.
"He'll be here."
"Really? What makes you so sure?"
"…"
"SPEAK UP, WEAKLNG!"
"H-he's been revived."
"With the Dragon Balls?"
"…"
"Well then, I'll give you 3 hours for him to show. No more."
"But…Vegeta-" Nappa began.
"WAIT, Nappa."
"I'M SICK OF WAITING!"
Nappa charged at Krillin, ready to fight.
"Nappa, DROP!"
Nappa looked and saw Krillin fire a disk of energy that didn't look very threatening. He continued his charge, and the disk was upon him. It sliced into his arm, not severing it, but coming close. Nappa cried out, and fell to his knees. Gohan observed all of this from Vegeta's side, where he now stood. He was able to get a vague sense of what that attack was. He'd remember that, it may be useful later.
"Why, you little-"
He attempted to fire a sure-death shot at Krillin. However, another shot knocked it out of the way. Nappa turned to find Gohan with his arm outstretched.
"WHY, YOU!" Nappa spluttered. This boy had gotten on his last nerve.
"Vegeta said WAIT." Gohan replied.
"DAMN YOU, YOU STUPID BRAT!"
Nappa was sick of Gohan. This boy had made a fool of him. Blinded by rage, he shot at Gohan, and tried to attack. But his injured arm seared with pain, and he could not continue. Still, he fired a ki blast, just to make it look like he was still strong. Gohan didn't even try to block it, and just let it hit him. As the dust cleared, there he was, unharmed.
"Wh-what kind of monster are you?" Nappa asked, shocked.
"So, you're REALLY in such a hurry to die? Okay."
In a second, Gohan was in front of Nappa. He released a flurry of punches to Nappa's belly, and slapped him away. Nappa landed on his feet a few feet away, only to see Gohan, with his hands outstretched near his waist, glowing with yellow energy.
"Now," Gohan shot out his hands, "Die."
Flurries of ki blasts shot out of his hands, continuously. Each one hit Nappa in a different place, and each ripped away at him. He felt the pain, the torment, misery, with his last thoughts, he realized how stupid he was, and died.
When the blasts stopped, Nappa's body no longer existed, completely incinerated.
Gohan returned to Vegeta, who nodded, approvingly. They proceeded to wait for three hours.
Three hours later…
After exactly three hours, Goku had not returned. Gohan looked eager to finish his cleanup job.
"Well, well, well," Vegeta said, "It looks like Kakarot didn't show." He turned to Gohan. "Go have your fun."
Gohan smiled, and a second later was in front of Krillin. He picked him up, and held him in the air. He charged up a ki blast.
"Now-"
But before he could fire, a blast hit him out of nowhere, freeing Krillin, and knocking Gohan to the ground. He got up, spitting dirt out of his mouth.
"Damn it!" he shouted, "I'm sick of this, every time I get him I get shot!"
He turned to see who had fired at him. And he saw, standing behind him, an adult, with black hair and an orange gi. He looked surprised to see Gohan.
"Gohan?" He asked puzzled.
This stirred something up in Gohan. He didn't know what it was, but he didn't like it. It was inhibiting. However, in his mind, something was certain.
Goku had arrived.
