At Capsule Corp, the fights continued among both families. They were really going all out against each other, creating huge shockwaves that started everyone around.
The two fathers, Goku and Vegeta, fought hard in their base forms, figuring that going any higher could cause some problems around the area.
The two sons, Goten and Kid Trunks, also stuck to their base forms, though felt the need to turn Super Saiyan, really wanting to go all out.
The alternate timeline sons, Kid Gohan and Future Trunks, just trained normally, throwing a few punches at each other. Future Trunks enjoyed this, it reminds him more of his training with the Gohan of his time.
Bulma watched from the ground below, it's almost surreal to her to see her family willingly doing an activity with Goku's family. Granted it's fighting, which both sides enjoy doing, at least the fathers, it's almost a relief for her to see them getting along so well.
"I should probably put up that barrier though, that way they can go all out without disrupting anything," Bulma said.
As the two families sparred, Goku felt another ki flying towards his direction. He turned to see what it was, allowing Vegeta to hit him.
"Focus Kakarot!" Vegeta shouted.
"Sorry, but I think someone else is coming," Goku said.
Nearby they saw Adult Gohan flying over, with a determined look on his face. He arrived nearby, looking like he was ready for a fight. "Younger me!"
Kid Gohan stopped his fight with Future Trunks and turned towards his Adult Counterpart, "Huh?"
"I challenge you to fight me!" Adult Gohan said, "Right now!" Kid Gohan took one look at his clothes, then started laughing, much to Adult Gohan's annoyance. "What's so funny!?"
"What are you wearing!?" Kid Gohan asked, having a giggle at the Track Suit.
Adult Gohan blushed, "It's just a track suit, that's all."
"Just a track suit?" Kid Gohan asked, still giggling. "It looks so silly!"
Adult Gohan blushed, "Sh-shut up, like I said I lost my gi and this was just fine when I helped during Frieza's return."
"But a Track Suit? Couldn't you borrow a gi from maybe Yamcha? Or seriously just ask Piccolo like I said before?" Gohan asked.
"Look, forget about my suit, do you accept my challenge or not!?" Adult Gohan asked.
Kid Gohan shrugged, "I don't see why not, give me a few minutes to prepare, I just hope you're ready for a fight."
"I'm more than ready," Adult Gohan said.
As Kid Gohan took a moment to rest from the previous training and to prepare, Gohan did some stretches, getting ready for a big fight. Goku stood near Vegeta, Kid Trunks and Future Trunks. Eventually even Bulma, Kid Mai and Future Mai had come outside, curious about this upcoming spar.
"Isn't this a little odd? You know, seeing Gohan fight himself?" Bulma asked.
"Well I fought myself not too long ago technically, Goku said.
"Yes but not a kid version of yourself, can you imagine fighting yourself at the same age you were when we met?" Bulma asked.
Goku started to think, imagining his current self fighting his kid self, getting a chuckle from the Saiyan. "That actually sounds funny, kinda wanna do that now." Goku turned to Future Trunks, "Say how long before the Time Machine's ready?"
Future Trunks glared, "Don't even think about it."
Goku chuckled a bit, "Just messing with ya."
Eventually the Gohans were ready to face off, each one getting into a stance, ready for a fight. Kid Gohan almost had trouble taking his Adult self seriously in that track suit, but he could tell that his adult self looked ready for a fight, he had a look of determination, which Kid Gohan seemed to appreciate.
Bulma had then put up her barrier to allow them to practice without restraint.
"Alright, begin!" Goku instructed.
Kid Gohan and Adult Gohan rushed at each other, each throwing a punch that collided against each other, creating a small shockwave. The two then threw another punch, but once again they matched it, both fists hitting each other.
Both stepped back a little to observe each other, then each threw a kick, which once again collided again each other.
"Wow, evenly matched so far," Future Trunks said.
After a few seconds, both Gohan's just started throwing punches and kicks, floating in the air as they attacked and blocked one another. As they floated, Adult Gohan found an opening and punched Kid Gohan back, knocking him through the air.
As Kid Gohan halted to a stop, Adult Gohan rushed over and threw a strong kick to the side of his younger counterpart's head and then kicked down, sending the young Saiyan to the edge of the barrier.
Kid Gohan managed to stop himself before hitting the barrier edge and flew back up and punched his adult self under his chin and then kicked his chest to knock him back..
Adult Gohan looked a little surprised, but he wasn't gonna lose to a younger version of himself. He powered up and flew in to attack again, the two returning to their punch-block combination.
The fighters below looked on in awe, watching the fight progress.
"Wow, they know each other so well," Goku said.
"Of course, they're the same, though I imagine the Adult one will have an experience advantage, he obviously would have learned a few tricks," Future Trunks said.
"I give more advantage to the younger Gohan," Vegeta said.
Goku curiously turned to his Saiyan Rival, "What makes you say that?"
"Simple, he's at an age where he had constantly trained, he didn't let himself get weak like the older one did, in terms of will the younger Gohan has the advantage," Vegeta said.
Goku looked back to Adult Gohan, while he saw that he was fighting well, his moves were a little sloppy, the younger Gohan will catch on, if he hasn't already. "Sounds possible."
Adult Gohan rushed in for some kicks, but Kid Gohan dodged them all and then grabbed Adult Gohan's leg to toss him town. Kid Gohan flew down to punch but Adult Gohan moved out the way and sent a ki blast to Kid Gohan's chest, then flew over to kick his face.
Adult Gohan then punched Kid Gohan hard a few times and then grabbed the younger Saiyan by his foot and tossed him down. As he went down, Adult Gohan put his hands to his head. "Here's one I haven't done in a while, MASENKO-HA!"
As the blast went toward Kid Gohan, he managed to stop himself mid-air quickly fired his own Masenko, the two attacks cancelling each other out.
Kid Gohan flew up to attack again, most of his strikes were blocked but he managed to get a punch in and then kicked Adult Gohan down. Kid Gohan fired some ki blasts but Adult Gohan deflected them and flew in with a powerful punch to his gut and then an elbow to his face.
Adult Gohan charged up his ki to blast Kid Gohan, but the younger Saiyan quickly kicked under Adult Gohan's chin and then blasted him down.
Adult Gohan rubbed his face and then flew up to attack again, this time landing a hard punch to his younger self's jaw, then one to his stomach and kicked his face back as he charged a ki blast.
"Take this!" He threw the blast, but Kid Gohan managed to deflect it and did a two handed ki blast of his own, knocking Adult Gohan in the face.
Adult Gohan shook his head and glared angrily, "I will not lose to you!" He cupped his hands together, "KAME HAME..."
Kid Gohan did the same thing, "KAME HAME..."
At the same time, both fired the signature attack of the Turtle School, "HA!"
Within moments the two beams clashed, creating a Kamehameha beam struggle. Everyone watched in awe below as the two Gohans attempted to outmatch each other with their power.
Goku looked impressed, "Wow, they're really going all out, they both have something to prove."
Vegeta scrunched his face, "Pathetic, he can barely keep up with a younger version of himself, he's really lost his edge."
"He's still trying at least," Future Trunks said.
Kid Mai looked impressed, "That boy's really strong..."
The two Gohans pushed hard, the Adult one desperately trying to find the strength to do so. Suddenly he powered up into a Super Saiyan, increasing his power incredibly.
"Whoa! The Big Gohan's turned Super Saiyan!" Kid Trunks said.
"Can the little one do that?" Future Mai asked.
"No, he's still learning how to," Goku answered.
Kid Gohan began to struggle, even he is having trouble against his older counterpart's Super Saiyan form.
"Come on...I gotta do this..." Kid Gohan said, trying to push the beam.
Adult Gohan growled, pushing the attack harder. He increased his energy, though unfortunately his stamina lowered much faster. "I can barely sustain the form, gotta hurry."
Adult Gohan screamed loud as he put more power into the attack, driving Kid Gohan back a little. Kid Gohan was losing the beam struggle, he was coming close to defeat.
"No...I won't lose, not even to myself!" Kid Gohan said, trying his hardest to push the beam back.
Goku looked concerned, he could tell Kid Gohan was losing, but he also sensed that Adult Gohan was also dropping out of his Super Saiyan form.
Kid Gohan screamed to power up, hoping to outdo his Adult counterpart, but it was proving ultimately useless. He suddenly felt the desire to give up, to quit. That's when he thought of Videl again, then again of his enemies. He started to remember the times he felt so scared that he couldn't fight, or he felt too weak and let his friends down. He didn't wanna feel helpless, to not be able to protect his loved ones from his enemies, to not be strong enough to overcome his troubles. Gohan began to power up again, this time pushing back the other Kamehameha.
"Impossible!" Gohan said. "He can't match my power in this form!"
Kid Gohan kept pushing when he noticed something. His older self's ki was fading, his stamina was falling fast, he wouldn't be able to maintain the Super Saiyan form.
"You call yourself a warrior!? You call yourself a fighter!? You dare call yourself a Saiyan!? You've let yourself go so badly that you even as a Super Saiyan can't even handle me right now! In my base form!" Kid Gohan shouted, his attack becoming stronger, his ki rising fast. "How can you protect the ones with we love with that puny power!? How can you protect Mom!? Or Videl!? Or Pan!? OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER!"
Goku felt Kid Gohan's ki rise a lot, "His energy...I've felt this before, back in the Time Chamber!"
The others looked curiously at Goku.
"The Time Chamber? You don't think..." Vegeta was saying, then looked to Kid Gohan and his rising ki.
"I won't let them get hurt! I will protect them with everything I got! I WON'T LET MYSELF GET WEAK!"
Kid Gohan let out a mighty yell, one that started to shake everything, even outside the barrier a bit. His energy started to rise, his Kamehameha increasing in power, his anger taking hold. Suddenly his hair had flashes of yellow, his eyes of green, his ki increasing at an incredible pace.
"No...impossible! He can't be learning that already!" Adult Gohan shouted.
With one final scream, Kid Gohan's hair spiked up, turning Golden in the process, taking on a form all too familiar with the others.
"He did it!" Goku shouted.
"He actually transformed!? No way!" Future Trunks shouted.
Vegeta grinned, "Good for you Gohan."
Adult Gohan looked in shock as his Kid self floated there with the beam struggle still in place, having turned into a Super Saiyan.
"No way, it took me months in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to achieve that! How did he get it so fast!?" Adult Gohan asked.
Kid Gohan powered up the beam, causing it to overpower Adult Gohan's side. He quickly moved out the way to avoid the attack, but suddenly Kid Gohan rushed in and started attacking with a barrage of punches, hitting Adult Gohan at every possible angle.
Eventually Kid Gohan floated up and kicked Adult Gohan down, then followed down and punched his gut hard, slamming him to the edge of the machine's barrier, the shockwaves causing it to malfunction and disappear as Kid Gohan continued his punch, sending his adult self into the ground, creating a huge crater with the ground shaking slightly.
The others rushed over to check on the situation and saw a pretty hurt Adult Gohan and an angrily panting Kid Gohan. Within moments Kid Gohan had managed to calm himself, his Super Saiyan glow fading.
"Whoa...that was so weird," Kid Gohan said.
The others rushed to him, feeling amazed at what they saw.
"Gohan, you did it, you became a Super Saiyan!" Goku said.
"That was so awesome!" Goten cheered.
"You're so talented!" Future Mai said.
"Like I expected from my old master, er at least his kid self," Future Trunks said.
Kid Gohan rubbed his head bashfully. "It was nothing." He looked to the side and saw his older self struggle to get up. "Hey, are you ok?"
Adult Gohan groaned in pain, holding his stomach as he panted.
"Hey, about what I said a moment ago, I was probably out of line. I know you only slacked off on training because you had to focus on your studies, I can respect that. I would have made the same mistake, after all, I'm you. But seeing this future showed me that I always have to train and get stronger, I have a gift that I must use, I will continue to train my muscles and my mind, becoming a Strong Warrior and a Great Scholar," Kid Gohan said.
Adult Gohan still panted, however he started feeling some pain and irritation.
"You ok Big Me? I didn't hurt you too badly did I? At least you got some training, plus considering Saiyans get stronger after every battle this may have made you a little bit stronger too. Maybe you should continue trying to train, I'm sure in no time you'll be the strongest fighter in the Universe, at least this one," Kid Gohan said.
Adult Gohan slightly glanced to his Kid self, feeling really unhappy.
"Hey, come on, let me help you up so that-"
Suddenly Adult Gohan blasted Kid Gohan in the face, taking the younger Saiyan by surprise. Kid Gohan fell over, holding his hand over his eye as he yelled out in pain.
The others looked freaked out at what they had just seen, Gohan acted so aggressively towards his younger self.
"Gohan! What are you doing!?" Goku shouted.
Adult Gohan panted angrily as he stood up, glaring down at his Kid self, who was still in pain.
"Gohan! Answer me!" Goku shouted.
Adult Gohan pointed to his Kid self, "There's the son you've always wanted."
Goku looked surprised at his son's choice of words. "Gohan...you don't mean that."
Vegeta clenched his fist in anger, "That was cowardly, I will not stand for it."
"You're one to talk Vegeta," Adult Gohan said.
"Watch your tone! My strength far exceeds yours and I have no problems with wiping you from existence!" Vegeta shouted.
"Go ahead and try, anyway I'm out of here, this has been a waste of my time," Adult Gohan said and flew away.
Future Trunks had been checking on Kid Gohan, "Hey, are you alright?"
Kid Gohan had his hand over his eye, still cringing in pain. He turned over and glared in the direction of his older self. "Damn you! I'll get you for this!"
Future Mai and Bulma leaned down to check on Gohan, checking to see if he's hurt too badly.
"How does he look?" Future Trunks asked.
"I just need to see his eye," Future Mai turned Kid Gohan's attention to her. "Can you lower your hand please?"
Gohan looked a little reluctant, "I'm not too sure, what if it's bad?"
"I won't know unless you show me, you can trust me Gohan," Future Mai said.
Kid Gohan nodded and removed his hand. Future Mai looked a little surprised, the wound wasn't too bad but his eye did look pretty hurt.
"Well?" Gohan asked, feeling a little nervous.
"It doesn't look too bad. Come inside, I'll treat you more in there," Future Mai said.
Gohan nodded and followed Mai inside, everyone else joining except for Goku, who looked to be in a state of shock.
Vegeta had noticed and walked back towards him, "Kakarot."
"Why would he say that?" Goku asked, feeling surprsied at his son's choice of words.
"Let's go Kakarot, regardless of what that Gohan said, this Gohan needs you right now. We'll deal with that Gohan later," Vegeta said.
Goku groaned, feeling unsure but shrugged it off. "I guess..."
Goku followed Vegeta inside as everyone went to tend to the young half-saiyan.
Back with Adult Gohan, he had just arrived home, angrily stomping into the house, getting Videl's attention.
"Gohan? Is that you!?" she walked into the halls and saw her husband in his damaged clothes. "Gohan, what happened!?"
"Too much, that's what happened," Gohan snapped.
Videl looked surprised, why was he in a bad mood? "What happened then? You look like you were in a rough fight? Was the Earth in danger? Is it another monster or alien?"
"No, I just had a little spar over at Capsule Corp, where everyone else was training," Gohan said.
"Oh, well that's nice, but why are you so angry? Did they go too far? Did you lose a spar? Did one of them say something to upset you?" Videl asked.
"It's nothing, I just had a little...confrontation with the little me," Gohan said.
"The little you? Wait what happened?" Videl asked.
"Too much, that's what happened!" Gohan snapped. "Ever since that little punk arrived it's been nothing but a headache!"
"Gohan how could you say that!? He's you!?" Videl said.
"He's who I used to be, not what I am now! But it seems that's what they all want! The Gohan that wanted to take part in their silly challenges! The Gohan that was useful in a fight! Apparently my academics aren't worth a damn to them! Even my mother, who had me study day and night since before I could barely walk probably has more interest in him than me! I overheard him saying something about training with mom, when would she ever have done anything like that!?" Gohan groaned in frustration. "I am not gonna be replaced by a younger version of myself!"
"I don't think they're trying to replace you, they're just trying to make him feel at home. At that age I'm sure you would be a little scared if you were stuck in a timeline that wasn't your own! You should understand him better than anyone else!" Videl said.
"I understand that he's just a brute, he's becoming the son dad always wanted," Gohan said.
"You really think all your dad cares about is fighting? Gohan he cares a lot about you. He's very understanding of your choice for academics, look how much you've accomplished since then! You're the Scholar you've always wanted to be!" Videl said.
"Yeah, I am. The others say they're proud but deep down they must consider me a disappointment," Gohan said.
"You're not, it's not like you're the only one who settled down! Look at Krillin, he doesn't fight much either, he's married as well and has a daughter of his own, he's perfectly happy," Videl said.
Gohan sighed, "It's not the same, I had more power, I saved the world, Krillin didn't have those expectations, I had them, I was the one expected to continue keeping the world safe after I defeated Cell. Then look what happened, Majin Buu shows up and I lost, my dad had to defeat him."
"You tried, Goten said you put up a great fight, you knocked him senseless," Videl said.
"Then I goofed up, since then I've been no help, I couldn't do much against Frieza, I didn't even know about Black and Zamasu for the longest time. My friend came back, probably an emotional wreck from what happened and I didn't do a damn thing for him! I was totally clueless! Once I found out I tried training again but..."
Videl looked concerned. "But what?"
"I, I just don't have it in me, I don't think I can go back to being that young boy who defeated Cell, the young boy who held his own on Planet Namek against Frieza, tht young boy who everyone saw so much potential in...I'm not that boy anymore," Gohan said, feeling a twinge of sorrow and guilt.
Videl walked over to Gohan and pulled him in for a hug. "You're too hard on yourself, listen even if you're not as strong as your father or Vegeta, that doesn't make you worthless. You're my husband, I love you. You mean the world to me, and I don't care if you're strong or not. The one thing I always loved about you was the fact that you're so kind and gentle, even when I was a total brat to you. At any moment you could have put me in my place, especially considering the fact that my father took the credit for defeating Cell. You never used that against me or him."
"That was mostly to protect my family's privacy though," Gohan said.
"I know, it shows me that you're humble. Besides even if it wasn't about your family, I don't think you would have cared. All you cared about was saving the world and keeping everyone safe. All my dad cared about was the fame and glory that came with it," Videl said. "I remember how much I hated when he also took the credit for defeating Majin Buu."
"Well my dad didn't mind, he just wanted the world saved. That's one good quality about him I guess," Gohan said.
Videl looked up, "Well he passed that quality on to you, all I got from my dad was his arrogance."
"Maybe, but I can't deny that he's a good person in the end. Besides he can handle the fame a bit better than my dad," Gohan said.
Videl hugged closer, "Still, I wish you would stop worrying. You will never be replaced, I love you, Pan loves you, and I know your family loves you too."
Adult Gohan felt a bit better, though started to feel a twinge of guilt over what happened earlier.
Back in Capsule Corp, Future Mai is tending to Kid Gohan's eye. "Hold still, this might burn."
Once she placed the cloth on his face, Gohan cried in pain. "Ow, that stings!"
"Quit your whining, you're a Super Saiyan now, Super Saiyans don't whine!" Vegeta said.
Kid Mai felt some pity for Gohan, "That poor boy, his older self is a total jerk."
Gohan growled in anger, "When I find him, I'm gonna teach him a lesson!"
"Easy son, don't let your anger get the better of you," Goku said.
"Yes, try to control it, perhaps you'll be able to access the second level of Super Saiyan," Vegeta said.
"He just accessed the first level, he needs to train in it for a bit," Goku said.
"How long before he can go Super Saiyan Blue?" Goten said.
"Give it some time, he'll need to train with Whis for that," Vegeta said.
"Or we can do the Super Saiyan God thing where we hold hands and give him our power, then he can train from there," Kid Trunks said.
"Maybe, but now's not the best time, the power up to Super Saiyan God is intense," Goku said.
Future Mai kept the cloth over Gohan's face, "I still think he's kinda young for this. I know he's a Saiyan and Trunks told me a bit about them, but he's still very young, he shouldn't be doing this."
"It's fine, I don't mind helping to save the world," Gohan said.
"Still, such a burden should not fall on a child," Future Mai said, the looked to Goku a moment before looking back at Gohan. "Regardless of how strong they may be at a young age."
Gohan nodded, "I know, I didn't choose this path, but I have to accept it. I will keep my loved ones safe."
"Wow, so brave," Kid Mai said, causing Kid Trunks to groan.
"Hey I'm brave too, I fought Majin Buu!" Kid Trunks said.
"We did, as Gotenks," Goten said.
"Gotenks? What's that?" Gohan asked.
"That's the name of their fused form," Vegeta explained.
Gohan then remembered his father doing the Fusion Dance. "Oh that, did you two really do that goofy dance?"
"Hey it wasn't our choice," Kid Trunks said.
"Still, kinda weird that you have to do a funny looking dance," Gohan said.
"No funnier looking than the Great Saiyaman poses you would eventually do!" Kid Trunks said.
Gohan blushed, "Right, that..."
"Still, I wonder if doing those poses make you stronger?" Goku wondered.
Vegeta glared slightly, "How would they make you stronger?"
"Well The Ginyu Force do those poses, and they were really strong. Even Jaco likes to pose like that," Goku said.
Vegeta groaned, "I don't understand how you function at times Kakarot."
Bulma came into the room moments later, "Sorry I had to take a call, how's Gohan doing?"
"I'm about to remove the cloth, he should be just fine afterwards," Future Mai said. She removed the cloth from his face as everyone gathered around to see.
"Well, how do I look?" Gohan asked.
Everyone looked surprised, but Future Trunks looked the most shocked. "I...I can't believe it..."
"What? What's wrong?" Gohan asked.
"Nothing, you just have a little scar over your eye," Future Mai said.
"What!? Get me a mirror please!" Gohan said with some panic. Bulma approached him with a mirror from her make-up case. Gohan looked carefully at the scar, looking really upset. "My face...What will I tell mom?"
Future Trunks still looked on in surprise, "He looks just like..." Suddenly he had flashbacks of the Gohan of his time.
Kid Gohan looked very distraught, "My face...oh no, what's Videl gonna think?"
"I still think you look handsome," Kid Mai said.
"Yeah, you just have a small scar, that's all," Future Mai said.
"You look like a Saiyan Warrior," Vegeta said.
Future Trunks still looked surprised, "Gohan..."
Kid Gohan felt angry, it wasn't really the pain that bothered him, it was the shame of this even happening, to allow himself to get injured.
Bulma rubbed Gohan's hair, "Don't be so sad, I can help you clear that up in no time, you just need a little make-up."
"Bulma don't give the boy make-up, it's not Saiyan like. He should be proud of that scar, it shows that he fought like a true warrior!" Vegeta said.
"Hey pardon me for wanting him to have his handsome face back!" Bulma said.
"Huh? I thought I was still handsome?" Gohan said, then started to sniffle a bit.
Bulma cringed, then turned to Gohan, "No you still are, you're a very handsome young boy. I just think it'd be easier for others to see if you didn't have that scar."
Gohan sniffled more, "So everyone else will think I look hideous?"
Bulma started to panic a little, it didn't help when she felt the glares of Goku, Goten and the two Mais, and even Future Trunks to an extent. "No! Of course not, I just-"
"Bulma, enough," Vegeta said, then approached Gohan. "Look don't start worrying about your looks, it's a small scar. Your grandfather if I remember correctly had a scar, his wife never minded."
Gohan looked curious, "You knew my grandfather? My Saiyan Grandfather?"
"Not too well, I have seen him around, especially since I worked with his son, but I do remember him having a scar, the first time I interacted with Raditz his parents were there. Your grandmother looked at him with loving eyes, I've never seen a pair of Saiyans that loved each other that much, it was very rare honestly. Probably why Kakarot turned out so soft," Vegeta said.
Goku looked curious, "Huh, so my parents were good then?"
"Your father helped take over planets, I don't think you would defien that as good, and I'm sure your mother was quite a warrior herself, despite her lower than average power level," Vegeta said.
Goku began to think a little about his parents, though he worried they might not be different than other Saiyans, so he didn't think too much about it.
"Anyway Gohan, don't worry about the scar. Use it as a reminder of your strength and will to fightm" Vegeta said.
Gohan thought about it a moment, then nodded. "Alright Vegeta."
"Good, when you're recovered come with me to the Gravity Room, I want to help you hone your Super Saiyan Transformation." He turned to Goku, "I expect you to be there too, as well as my sons."
"Right, gotta teach him to control and master it after all," Goku said.
Suddenly Goku and Vegeta felt a familiar Ki outside.
"What do they want now?" Vegeta complained.
"Who?" Bulma asked.
"Who else?" Vegeta asked sarcastically.
Goku and Vegeta went outside with the others following. Outside they saw Beerus and Whis waiting. Whis respectfully waved while Beerus looked pretty bored.
"Whis? Lord Beerus? Back again?" Goku asked.
"Yes, we came by for two favors," Beerus said. "You remember my brother Champa right?"
"Brother!?" Future Trunks said in surprise.
"Yes, the God of Desctruction from Universe Six," Vegeta said.
"So there's more like Lord Beerus?" Future Trunks asked.
"There's a God of Desctruction in every Universe," Whis explained.
"Yeah, and my brother is one of them. Anyway he came by my planet boasting about his own Saiyan Warrior, that Cabba guy," Beerus said.
"Cabba? Oh I remember him, kinda of a small guy isn't he?" Goku said.
"Yes well Champa's been having Vados train him a little, so he can master the Super Saiyan God form, appearently he's been doing so well that he believes Cabba can challenge either of you two," Beerus said.
"I hope he's gotten stronger, I'll be very annoyed if nothing's changed," Vegeta said.
"You really think he's a Super Saiyan God?" Goku asked.
"Of course not, strong as he is, he still has a long way to go before he can master it," Whis explained.
"Anyway we figured he could at least challenge your son Gohan, whichever one wants to fight," Beerus said.
Goku turned to Kid Gohan, "How about it son? Do you want to spar with Cabba?"
"Wait, what about Adult Gohan?" Future Trunks asked.
Goku crossed his arms unsurely, "After everything, I don't think he'll want to fight right now."
"I have no problems with that, I'd like to test my abilities on a new opponent," Gohan said.
"Personally I would prefer the one from this timeline since that one will be going back soon and I'd like another fighter from my Universe to brag about, but if he really wants to challenge Cabba then I won't stop him," Beerus said.
"I'll do my best," Gohan said.
Beerus looked closely at Kid Gohan, "That scar, what's with it? I don't recall you having a scar."
Kid Gohan groaned, "Blame the adult me, that sore loser basically sucker punched me, except with an energy blast."
"Oh, so he does still fight?" Beerus asked.
"Barely, he just got jealous and challenged me, but he could defeat me. The only bright side is that I can go Super Saiyan now, I'm much stronger than I was. Soon I'll be strong enough to defeat all my enemies, so when I do go back to my timeline, I'll be able to defeat them with ease," Kid Gohan glared. "But rest assure, I will return to this timeline, I have things I still wish to do here. Maybe even challenge you one day."
"Watch it kid, or I'll leave you with more than just a simple scar," Beerus warned.
Whis could tell there might be trouble, so he decided to end this now."Well then, now that it's been decided, me and Beerus will be leaving. I'll contact my sister and we can set the spar between Gohan and Cabba for five days from now."
"Five days huh?" Goku said, then turned to Gohan. "Maybe you and I can enter the Time Chamber for a bit then, get some training in."
"Sounds good to me," Kid Gohan said.
"Can I train with him too?" Goten asked.
"Same, I'd like to mentor him like he did in my timeline," Future Trunks said.
"I want one more spar with him," Kid Trunks said.
"We'll work something out, even with the Time Chamber modified, I don't know how many of us can fit in there," Goku said.
"Whatever the way, I'm ready for a fight," Kid Gohan said, powering up a little.
Goku did thumbs up, "Good, hopefully we can catch you up big time."
Kid Mai hugged Kid Gohan, "Good luck, I'm sure you'll be really, really, strong."
Gohan stared to blush, "Hey come on, this is embarrassing!"
Kid Trunks again groaned, face palming in the process. "Geez what's it gonna take?"
Future Trunks pitied his younger self, but luckily for him, he knows Kid Gohan already has one girl on his mind.
Goku chuckled a little, somehow it reminds him of when he and Chi Chi were younger, she always liked to hug him.
Vegeta found this ridiculous however, he was gonna put a stop to it. "That's enough, come on lets go, we have some training to do."
Everyone then followed Vegeta inside the house, the Saiyans were ready to train. Kid Trunks however looked annoyed. "I swear I'm gonna mess his face up a lot worse than Big Gohan did."
Later in Adult Gohan's home he was sitting on the roof, thinking over everything that happened. While in thought, a familiar voice spoke. "You look troubled."
Gohan turned around and saw Piccolo floating there. "Oh, hi Piccolo."
"What's wrong, why are you feeling so down?" Piccolo asked.
Gohan sighed, "I don't know, so much has happened. My younger self appears, suddenly everyone's all interested in him because they remember his hidden potential, and now I've become an afterthought."
"Gohan, no one considers you an afterthought, but what are they supposed to do? Ignore your kid self?" Piccolo said.
"No, but it just seems like all of a sudden they have a second chance at the warrior they wish I became, not the Scholar who's done nothing but study," Gohan said.
"What's wrong with that? It's what you wanted isn't it?" Piccolo asked.
"I don't even know that either. When I try to remind myself of my success and tell myself I'm what I've always wanted to be, I wonder if this really is what I want or if I'm just doing what my mother wants? I mean she shoved books in front of me the moment I learned how to read, so she basically decided what I wanted. When it came to fighting it was similar, I was thrown into this and all of a sudden that became expected of me too. I either have to study hard to make my mom proud of me, or train to make my dad proud of me," Gohan said.
Piccolo sighed, "You've been thinking about this a lot. Truth be told I should take some responsibility, I did take you as a child against your will and essentially forced you to learn how to fight. Looking back it was a horrible thing for me to do, one of the many actions I'm not too proud of," Piccolo said.
"Don't worry, in a way maybe it's good that happened, I got to do so many fun things, and you were a great role model to me, you became someone I looked up to. But I still feel like I'm gonna let someone down no matter what I do," Gohan said.
"Listen, stop worrying about that, your parents should love you regardless if you study or fight. Right now you're a man, you have to decide what you want to do. If I did what my father wanted I would have taken over this planet, but I chose my own path, I admit with your influence. Now you need to decide what you want to do, and stop worrying about who you disappoint, because in the end you'll only be letting yourself down," Piccolo said.
Gohan sat in thought over Piccolo's words, then turned to him with a nod. "Ok, thank you Mr. Piccolo." Piccolo smiled at his old student, and the closest thing he has to a son. Gohan stood up, "I should get back inside and-"
"Gohan!" Videl shouted. "Hurry up and get in here! Your daughter won't stop flying around, and I'm trying to bathe her!"
Gohan chuckled a bit, "Gotta go check on my daughter, thanks for the talk." Gohan quickly went inside and Piccolo heard Gohan's shouts. "Pan, get down here this instant! You need to bathe!"
Piccolo could hear more random antics from them as he chuckled to himself. "She's definitely her father's daughter, so young yet so full of surprises."
