Chapter 8: Still not enough…

Gohan awoke in great pain, even with his Super Saiyan Transformation, it was still not enough. Gohan then reached for the bag holding two sensu beans, he ate one. He stood up feeling much more powerful than before, but he knew that these Androids were still leagues beyond his own power. Gohan then flew to Capsule Corporation and thankfully it was still intact. Gohan entered to see a few employees dead. "Bulma!" yelled Gohan as he frantically searched for her, "Bulma are you anywhere?" After ten minutes of searching Gohan gave up and then began to cry. Bulma then found Gohan, with tears in her eyes she said, "Hey Kid, I'm ok, but my mother and father did not make it." Gohan then hugged Bulma.

Gohan, Bulma and the 5 year old Trunks surveyed the damage; the gravity chamber that Gohan was supposed to use was destroyed. Bulma then yelled in frustration, "Damn these monsters!" Gohan then said, "Even as a Super Saiyan, I still wasn't enough, I have to get even more powerful." Bulma then replied, "I wish Goku was here, he would know what to do." Gohan then said, "Bulma, I must leave now, I'm going to have to continue my training once again." Gohan then flew away without saying a proper goodbye.

Gohan then flew to his father's grave once again to see him. "Father, I may be a Super Saiyan, but I'm still not as powerful as you were, I'm sorry…" Gohan began to cry horribly, and then a familiar voice called out, "Gohan." It was his mother Chi Chi, "Gohan please don't fly away, I won't stop you from trying to defeat these Androids." Gohan then hugged his mother whom he hadn't seen in five years. They walked home and was greeted by his grandfather the Ox King. Gohan lied in his bead; it felt nice to be back home. Chi Chi then fed her son a great feast. After a great night, Gohan then lied on his bed once again, he felt happy for the first time since his father died.

Even though Gohan was happy, he knew he couldn't stay. The young saiyan then looked in an old wardrobe to see his father's fighting gi, he took it and then flew away back to his training camp.

For the next seven years Gohan was nowhere to be seen or heard of. Rumors about him dying at the hands of the Androids spread far and wide. News reports indicated a man would occasionally confront the Androids. The man had yellow hair and an orange gi, he seemed to be the Earth's last hope.
