Chapter 10

Gohan opened his eyes, the clarity hurting a bit before he got used to it. He sat down on his bed and took a few minutes to got up. After he took his bath he walked down, meeting ChiChi doing their breakfast.

"Good morning Gohan-chan!" She said smiling and with a plate full of pancakes; she sat down, the baby on her belly started to move. "Calm down baby, I'll have food for you in a minute." Gohan smiled.

"He's happy today as well I see." He grabbed a few pancakes and started to eat. They had the breakfast, and Gohan went outside to train. It was several months after Cell's death and he wasn't all happy, but he didn't knew why. As the time for the lunch was getting closer he felt a ki getting closer, and smiled when Piccolo landed.

"Hey kid." Piccolo put a hand on Gohan's head and he smiled.

"Hey Piccolo-san! Want something to eat?" His master smiled.

"Water as always please." Both went inside and ChiChi got happy to see Piccolo again. He went there a few times per week, to keep Gohan company, and she was glad for that.

"So, how are things going with the new Kami?" She asked with a smile.

"Good. He's getting into it really fast." The talk continued after the lunch, and a training time came for Gohan. Piccolo was proud of him, there weren't much more he could teach, but Gohan never wanted to end their relationship as teacher and apprentice. As the time went by, ChiChi asked the duo to go buy supplies in Orange City, as they were low on some things. Gohan got the list and flew away with Piccolo, making a 'who is fastest' bet; Gohan won.

"What do we need?" Piccolo asked annoyed, Gohan giggled.

"First... salt and vegetables. That store has it." Both walked there and started to search what they needed. As usual everyone kept looking at Piccolo, who obviously didn't cared. Gohan found the vegetables and started to choose the better ones when the tv journal started to talk about the savior of the earth.

"It's been a couple of months since Cell's defeat, but one question is still unsolved: where is the hero of earth?" Gohan smirked 'It seems that he's trying to choose vegetables.'. "Our best detectives are working on this matter, and here is one of them. Welcome Sir Murdock." The one leading the journal shacked hands with the detective who smiled back. "Thank you for the invitation." The talk continued and Gohan finished the choosing. He looked at Piccolo and noticed he was annoyed at the tv show, and he smiled.

"Did he said something interesting?" Piccolo looked at him with an eyebrow raised.

"Just bullshit." Gohan giggled, but the ones around them looked mad.

"Are you saying that they aren't going to find our savior? Not even his dead body?" Both looked at the huge man who was now standing behind them.

"Huh, and who said he's dead?" Gohan said and blinked when the man got closer.

"It's better if he is." Gohan titled his head in confusion.

"Why? Don't you want to thank him?" The man smirked.

"Oh I am thankful, but the world wants him to be dead." Gohan and Piccolo frowned at that.

"Why?" For his surprise the detective inside the tv answered him.

"I think I talk in the name of most people when I say that our hero is also something to be afraid of." Gohan looked at the tv, he couldn't believe what they were saying. "We are grateful that he defeated Cell, but someone who can actually defeat a monster, is also one." The one doing the interview nodded and he keept going. "So, we are still in search of his identity and whereabouts, but he's like a ghost." Gohan looked down; he saved the world and get fear instead of gratitude?

"See? The world wants him dead." Piccolo felt Gohan's ki starting to raise and put a hand on his shoulder.

"You still have things to buy right? Let's go." His pupil sighed and waved with his hand to the man.

"Whatever. I'm grateful and don't want him to be dead." He went to pay his bill and got surprised when the one getting his money murmured to him.

"I don't want that either." Both smiled and the duo walked away. The rest of the shopping was pretty the same, the most of the people said that their hero, himself, was a monster and wanted him to be dead. He showed to Piccolo that he was fine with it, but the namekian knew it was a lie. On the way back they kept talking, and before they went in separated ways Piccolo put a hand on his shoulders again.

"Don't worry about what they said. You are a hero like your father, or even better." Gohan smiled weakly and nodded.

"Thanks." They said goodbye and the boy went home. After the dinner he and ChiChi turned their tv on, the night news started and Gohan looked up annoyed when he saw that he was the topic again.

"They need to change the subject. I'm already tired of it." ChiChi nodded.

"They talk so many mean things about my little hero... They could be left dead. It was a waste of a wish." Her son smiled, but there were still something deep inside him that kept annoying him.

"I'll go sleep, good night mom." He placed a kiss on her forehead and started to go upstairs when he heard the tv again and stopped.

"Now, news about the gang fight that's happening now in Loyal City. How are things today Mrs. Felix?" Then a woman's voice was heard. "Hello Jim, as you can see the fight got worse. A lot of people are injured and we have several deaths..." Gohan clenched his fists and climbed the stairs again. He laid down on his bed but couldn't sleep; the boy didn't knew for how long he tried to rest, but he knew his mother was already sleeping. He sat up and put his elbows on his legs and his hands on his head for a few minutes. Raising his eyes to his writing desk he sighed and got up. He walked to it, grabbed a paper and wrote something on it, putting it on top of his bed before getting out by the window.

"You saved them but what they wanted in return? Your dead body."

A voice echoed in his mind and when he oppened his eyes again he had blood in his hands. Gohan looked at the gang leader he was fighting and found that his body was mutilated, but he didn't remembered what he did. The worse part was that the crowd around him was cheering at what he just did.

"You got him! You're our hero!" He looked around not knowing what to think; it was fine to kill bad people... right?

"You saved them by being someone as cruel as the one who was threatening them, murder isn't wrong if it's to save people."

This time he oppened his eyes with a light pain as something hit his head. He was a little older, a few years went by. He looked at the people who threw rocks at him.

"I saved you, but you threat me like this?" Angry could be seen in their eyes.

"You killed them, they were people as well! You're a monster!" He rolled his eyes in annoyance, he was tired of hearing that.

"Yeah a monster. But remember that you were the ones who asked for help."

"Once again when they got what they desire they hate you. A monster they say? Maybe you should just turn into a real one."

"Go Eve, I got it from here." The kid nodded and ran away. Seeing that she was out of range he looked angrily to the Tigers. "Now, who wanna die first?" It had been two years since he killed someone. Eve saw him as a hero and a model of life, so he tried his best not to kill, but this time they messed with the wrong thing. He moved fast and killed all the man, breaking their necks; a clean death. He went to the boss. Who was in shock and keept calling him a monster.

"Yeah, the worse and last one you'll see."

He blinked and he was now facing Eve.

"You can't be human, this power… you're a monster."

"You killed them to save her, but when she felt your power what she did? She just saw a monster..."

"You really are a monster. I should never had give you birth."

"Even your own mother hates you." Everything turned black, Gohan looked around and saw a undefined form. "Join forces with me. Together we can BE more. Together we can DO more. Together we can FIGHT more. Accept me. Get my darkness, let it join your own." The mass extended what seemed to be a hand to him and Gohan hesitated. He wasn't the bad guy, he was the good one... Voices started to echoes around and he put his hands on his ears, trying to stop them. "Join me and they will stop. Became the evil you were born to be." The hand was closer now, the voices got stronger and he accepted the offer. He couldn't heard anything anymore.

Piccolo and Kuririn didn't knew what to do as the thing around his body started to break down. They exchanged worried looks when all of it went down. Gohan's skin was deep blue, his tail grew back but it looked like the one Belned had, and on top of everything he had two horns. He looked like a devil, his eyes red as blood went to the duo.

"In respect for our past selves, we'll not kill you this time. We were accepted, and we are grateful to Belned, our intermediate." Gohan bent to his last opponent. "Now we have things to do." Then he flew away.

"Wait what?!" Kuririn yelled.

Gohan landed in the city nearest to West City and smirked; that was going to be fun. As he walked further in the city he found a few people who started to run as fast as they saw him, fear could be seen in their eyes. His giggle started to echo around the city and it turned into a loud laugh, and he tried to kill some of the running people, but he missed it. Frowning he tried again just to miss once more and he started to get annoyed. A kid who was running near him tripped and hit the ground but she got up as fast as she could and looked with her eyes full of tears to him; she didn't want to die. He raised his hand once again; he wouldn't miss at this distance. She started to sob and Gohan smiled, but for her surprise he didn't move anymore. The kid mumbled something and ran away.

Bulma turned off all the televisions as Gohan flew, and rushed to the surface; followed by Videl and the rest. Kuririn looked at her surprised in how fast she got to them.

"What…" She took a deep breath. "… in hell happened here?" Piccolo and Kuririn exchanged a glance and shrugged.

"We don't know either." The bald said scratching his head. "Gohan was referring himself as 'we' and that creeped me out, not to talk about his looks."

"I could hear a lot of voices inside his mind but, not his own." Piccolo took a few seconds to continue. "I think he's gone."

"That can't be! He's the strongest!" Eve yelled, tears in her eyes. "He even ki-" She bit her lower lip, trying to have courage to tell what she wanted to. "He even killed that thing over there." She pointed to Belned corpse. "He can't die for something like that!" Videl hugged the kid who started to cry.

"It has to be some kind of misunderstanding." She looked up at the group. "He can't be dead. If he is, who will save us?"

Gohan started to see light and it took a few seconds to turns into a clearly image. He blinked when he saw people running away from him and he frowned. 'What the hell…' The teen didn't know where he was, he couldn't remember anything after he defeated Belned and that thing that got him.

"Go away, don't kill us!" Someone yelled and his frown got deeper. His eye went to his raised hand and saw that his skin color was really different.

"What the…" He then looked at a piece of mirror from a broken building and gasped as he saw his horns, tail and red eyes. "What the actual fuck?!" Then he felt a huge pain inside his head and a familiar voice echoed.

"I didn't expect for you to awake anymore. But, it's time to go back to sleep." He put his hands on his head, the pain getting bigger and he yelled. "Don't try to resist, you're already mine." He fall to his knees, his brain aching.

"No, I don't want that!" Gohan started to hit his head on the ground and what seemed to be concrete started to crack with the force. It was too painful, but the pain only got worse as the voice kept talking.

"I told you, you can't fight against me. Now go sleep again." He could feel his body's heat, the scream of the remainder people that were running away from him, and then he could just see his body getting up on its own will.

The crowd was annoyed and Bulma was tired of hearing their complaints. They wanted answers that she couldn't give, not because she didn't wanted to, but because she didn't knew them either.

"Where the hell is Vegeta?" She sighed.

"He went to the spaceship. There were some kind of prophecy on it, and part of the letters was ripped and it was bothering him." Piccolo said looking at the crowd, and got surprised when he heard Dende's voice.

"I have to tell you something." Piccolo frowned. "I felt Gohan's thoughts a few minutes ago,but it wasquickly suppressed."

"What? Are you serious?!" He was nervous, if it was true then Gohan still had a chance to go back to his senses.

"Yes.And I have a message from Goku too." At the second part he talked to all his friends. "Goku asked to be resurrected. He said he no longercan stay asideofthe living matters." Kuririn frowned at that.

"What does he mean with that?" Dende sighed.

"He'llexplain. I'm already in touch with Namek so they can bring him back. I haveto go now, but Goku will be back soon." Videl blinked, she too had heard the voice and couldn't believe that someone was going to be back from the dead.

"Wait, what? You guys have something that can bring someone back from the dead?!" The group exchanged a look and Bulma decided to talk.

"When Cell died, everyone who was killed by him came back to life remember?" The teen nodded. "Did you ever hear about the Dragon Balls?" The woman asked raising an eyebrow, and for her surprise Eve answered.

"I did! Gohan told me they are special items that ensure any wish! Well, if it doesn't overpower the power of the dragon that lives inside them." Kuririn smiled.

"So, he taught you about them too huh? He really cared about you." The kid blushed and looked down.

"But I hurt him…" Videl looked at her and smiled.

"I don't think he blame you. The next time you see him you have to show how sorry you are." Eve looked up, her eyes full with water but she wouldn't cry.

"Ok." Videl hugged her and looked at the group again.

"So, this dragon balls are the ones who bring that people back to life?" Bulma nodded. "How do they look?" Piccolo put a hand on his pocket and took off the dragon ball Gohan had dropped. Videl recognized it as the one Gohan got before he went to see his mother. "That wasn't with Gohan?" Piccolo nodded.

"He dropped it when he turned into that thing." He put it back to his pocket. "But these ones can't bring someone who died two times." Videl blinked.

"Wait, are you saying you guys already died at least once?" Kuririn scratched his bald head and looked away with a pout.

"I died too much for my liking." Bulma giggled.

"At least I didn't die, yet. I don't do anything dangerous to protect the earth you know?" She got up when she saw Vegeta landing near them; he had a huge piece of metal and a deep mad face. "What's wrong Vegeta?" The prince looked at her and sighed.

"I hate to say this but… I need your help." Kuririn smirked at that, the pride of the prince of the saiyans was too high to ask for help. Bulma raised an eyebrow and titled her head.

"Help with what my dear?" A playful smile made its way to her face and Vegeta looked mad at her.

"Stop that." She laughed at his annoyance. "Can you do make these things legible again?" She looked at where he was pointing and pouted. The woman got closer to them and pressed her hands on the scratches, nodding when she noticed she indeed could do something.

"Yeah, it seems not that bad. But I don't know if I can put everything out of it." She looked at him and he sighed. "Get it to my lab." The prince started to walk, and she went right beside him.
