Chapter 11

Gohan calmly flew back over to the other Saiyan's joining them as they congratulated him on his victory.

"You did great out there," said Bardock smiling at his grandson leaving a shocked Raditz as to wonder why his father was acting as such to someone he had just met.

The group stayed quiet for a while before an angry young voice brought them out of their thoughts

"What the hell is going on around here?" yelled Vegeta.

"Um...Fighting" Gohan said with a straight face looking at Vegeta like he was an idiot.

"No, you idiot. What is happening right now?" asked Vegeta as he barely contained his anger.

"Yes, father what is going on?" asked Raditz.

"Well..." said Bardock but was interrupted by Gohan.

"There's no time. It's time for you to leave" said Gohan.

"WHAT!" the Saiyan's yelled.

"Gohan were not leaving you alone," said Tora.

"I agree. It's much too dangerous" said Fasha.

"Guys trust me; it's more dangerous for you to be here then leaving me alone. I'm going to need to have my full concentration on fighting and not worrying about you" said Gohan.

"Frieza might use you guys against me in a fight" continued Gohan.

"He's right. It's time for us to leave" said Tora in understanding.

The group was silent for a while before nodding and flew into the sky, with only Bardock staying on the ground.

"Grandpa," said Gohan in curiosity.

"Gohan" Bardock whispered before taking a couple steps forward and bending down on one knee before pulling Gohan in for a hug.

Bardock pulled back from the hug "I'm glad I got to meet you Gohan".

"So am I," said Gohan as he smiled at his grandfather.

Bardock nodded and flew into the sky towards catching up with the other Saiyan's.

Gohan smiled and gave them a wave as they took off towards the ship before turning around and facing the Cold Family with a serious look "Now, where were we".

"Just about to begin our fight," said King Cold.

"Good. The sooner we start this fight, the sooner I won't have to look at you" smirked Gohan.

"Why you dirty monkey" growled Frieza.

"Relax son, now let's begin this fight," King Cold said calmly.

"Alright so who am I going to fight first?" asked Gohan.

"First, like you will get past any of us," said Cooler.

"Well, maybe I'll just surprise you. So who is it I'm going to fight?" smiled Gohan.

"I think Frieza should fight you. He did destroy the rest of your pathetic race, so I think he should have the honour of killing you" smirked King Cold.

"Why thank you, father," said Frieza as he flew out to meet Gohan.

The two warriors sized each other up, one full of overconfidence and arrogance while the other was in deep thought. But not in worry, he knew that if he wanted to beat the three members of the Cold Family he would have to be smart and conserve as much energy as possible when fighting.

The two warriors faced off with Gohan getting into stance while Frieza stood calmly with his arms crossed. The two warriors stared at each other calmly each waiting for the other to make a move; Frieza was the first of the two to run out of patients and charged Gohan, throwing a hard right punch.

Gohan blocked the punch with his left forearm and then threw a punch of his own that connected with Frieza's cheek that launched him back. Gohan charged Frieza and was about to attack Frieza, but was blocked when Frieza started spinning using his tail as a shield. Frieza regained himself and attacked Gohan by spinning once again and attacked with his tail, putting the Saiyan on the defensive end.

Gohan ducked and dodged each attack quick and swiftly "I can't attack, his tail is putting too much distance between himself and me" thought Gohan.

Gohan continued to avoid Frieza's attacks when he moved to the right of the attack of Frieza's tail and then grabbed his tail and pulled it towards him. And threw a strong elbow that connected with Frieza before he grabbed Frieza's tail again before starting to spin in a circle.

"Let go of my tail you damn stupid monkey" yelled Frieza in anger.

Gohan smiled "Sure" before letting go and throwing Frieza into the ground causing dust to kick up. Gohan floated down to the ground and waited for Frieza when he was surprised when he started to hear laughing and clapping.

Gohan saw it was Frieza and stared at him in curiosity as why he would be laughing "Oh this is great it's been a while since I've had a fight that's brought me any interest. I shall enjoy picking you apart bit by bit".

"I would like to see you try," Gohan said confidently.

"Good I would like to keep this interesting" smiled Frieza.

The two attacked each other meeting in the middle of the battlefield. Gohan threw a right hook that was blocked by Frieza, who returned a left punch with surprising speed that connected with Gohan's cheek. Gohan gritted his teeth and used the momentum to turn around and struck Frieza with a hard kick.

The two fighters continued to trade blows slowly raising their power levels trying to outmatch each other when Frieza was starting to get worried.

"I almost reached my maximum power in this form," thought Frieza, as he threw a hard kick that connected with Gohan's face.

Gohan was about to strike back when suddenly hit in the stomach before he was jackhammered into the ground.

Frieza smirked, "Hmm, so I guess he's reached his maximum".

Gohan hit the ground, but quickly shot out and attacked Frieza furiously throwing a right punch that Frieza dodged by moving right and then ducking under a kick. Gohan continued to throw punch and kick combinations but continued to be dodged by Frieza.

Frieza then went on the attack hitting Gohan in the face twice with two punches and then delivered a hard kick to the chest that sent Gohan flying back. Gohan slowly regained himself as he was breath hard and wiped away some blood that came from his mouth when Frieza appeared in front of him.

"What's wrong, I thought you Saiyan's love to fight, what all out of gas" gloated Frieza.

"Ya right," said Gohan as he charged Frieza only for his punch to get blocked and was kneed in the stomach.

"You know what I have this move that I've been wanting to use for quite a while now but haven't found a person to use it on, you should be honoured" laughed Frieza as Gohan was covered in an orange energy ball.

Which Gohan immediately recognised as the same move Frieza had used on his Father.

"Like it, it's a move I just recently created it, if anyone touch's this ball except me then it will explode" said Frieza as he punched the ball letting it fly through the air before reappearing in front of the ball and kicked it towards the ground before once again reappearing before it and hitting it again.

This continued for a bit as Frieza continued to knock the ball around back in forth before he got bored and hit the ball into the ground causing the ball to explode.

Dust came up everywhere as Frieza flew down to the ground "So much for the Saiyan" laughed Frieza when he heard some coughing.

Waiting till the dust cleared, he saw Gohan's body lying on the ground with his clothes torn to pieces.

Frieza approached Gohan "So it seems your still alive, well I'm going to make you wish you weren't" said Frieza as he wrapped his tail around Gohan's neck and lifted him off the ground, so they were face to face. "Any last words Saiyan" smirked Frieza.

Cooler and King Cold were waiting on the sidelines getting bored as they saw the fight come to a close just as they predicted.

"Father, Frieza should just end this fight," said Cooler.

"I agree, the universe has been reminded of how powerful we are and have strengthened our hold on it, and those who believe they can overthrow us" smirked King Cold.

Gohan opened his eyes and glared at him "Ya, screw you" before spitting in his face.

Frieza growled in anger and was about to start to beat into Gohan when he was suddenly interrupted by his father "Frieza will you hurry this up, we haven't got all day".

Frieza turned slightly to face his father "Ok Father I was just showing this monk..." was all Frieza got out before he started breathing heavy, and gagging.

"Frieza?" King Cold asked questioningly as he looked at his son in curiosity.

Frieza's tail's grip lost its hold on Gohan neck and kept gasping in shock and pain. Gohan smirked as he slowly removed his fist from Frieza's stomach that was now covered in purple blood, leaving a deep hole in Frieza's stomach.

Frieza stumbled and turned around to look at his father and call for help when Gohan spoke "Remember never think the fights over until it's finished."

The Saiyan charged energy into his hand and launched a powerful beam that covered Frieza's entire body and incinerating him leaving nothing but smoke.

The desert battlefield took a quiet awe and shock as the only sound was the wind in the air that blew Gohan's hair.

Gohan smirked at the shocked face of King Cold and Cooler "So...Who's next".

King Cold was gasping in shock as words couldn't form in his mouth while Cooler could only mutter in shock "Brother".

"What...What have you done" said King Cold in shock.

Gohan smiled at the shock of the two "I killed Frieza, I thought that would be obvious".

"You...You killed my brother" muttered Cooler.

"Ya so, you're going to be joining him soon anyway" Gohan taunted in confidence.

Cooler growled in anger before charging Gohan in fury. Gohan launched himself into the sky dodging a punch from Cooler putting some distance between the two.

"You stand no chance, the only reason you beat my brother because you tricked him, you have no chance of beating me at my current power," said Cooler.

"Well if you're so sure, then bring it," said Gohan as he powered up allowing a blue aura to come around him.

And the wind to start to whip about furiously strong enough to force Cooler to cross his arm in defence.

When the wind died down, Cooler looked on with interest at the powered up form "So this may be more interesting than I thought".

Gohan smirked as the two warriors' circles one another before charging one another; Cooler was the first to attack with a left kick that Gohan blocked with his forearm. Before throwing a sharp left hook that connected with Cooler's cheek, stunning him momentarily before attacking with his tail putting Gohan on the defence. Gohan grabbed Cooler tail and pulled him in putting on an extra burst of speed trying to knee Cooler in the head.

Cooler recognized the move and moved out of the way at the last second sending Gohan right past him. Cooler quickly spun around and grabbed Gohan's leg before spinning him around and sending him crashing hard into the ground. Cooler smirked as he looked down at the crater he had created, when he saw Gohan come floating out from the hole.

"Is that the best you can do Saiyan" taunted Cooler.

"Oh believe me I'm just getting started" responded Gohan as he suddenly disappeared. Moving too fast for Cooler to track when he suddenly he felt a great pain in his stomach and looked down to see Gohan's elbow embedded into his stomach.

Cooler back away in pain when Gohan stood up straight and roundhouse kicked Cooler in the face sending him back before disappearing once again and reappeared and jackhammered Cooler sending him crashing into the ground.

When Cooler emerged from the ground, Gohan smirked "What is that the best you could do" Gohan said returning the taunt.

"Shut up you dirty little ape" Cooler growled in anger before attacking Gohan striking him in the face before charging Gohan again and connecting again.

Cooler continued attacking Gohan faster and stronger then Gohan could keep up with.

Cooler threw another strong punch when a bright red aura flared from Gohan and his body bulked up "Kaio-Ken" yelled Gohan as he ducked under a punch and returned with one of his own sending him further into the sky.

The two fighters met again clashing again and again. As the fight dragged on Cooler found his energy supply starting to deplete and his anger slowly began to give way to worry as he found his opponent's assault to be relentless and never slowing down.

Cooler brought his arms up in across as Gohan's punch connected with his arms, causing Cooler to wince behind the power of the attack. Gohan was about to attack again but was interrupted when he sensed something at the last second and moved out of the way dodging an attack.

Gohan dropped his Kaio-Ken power up as he saw it was King Cold who was now in between him and Cooler.

"Father?" Cooler said in confusion and surprise.

"This Saiyan is stronger than we thought, I don't believe we can beat him separately," King Cold said seriously.

Cooler nodded and wiped some blood from his face before coming up beside his father.

Gohan dropped into a fighting stance as the two Changelings charged him "Kaio-Ken" yelled Gohan as the red aura appeared around him as he dodged a punch from Kind Cold and blocked a kick from Cooler.

The two Changeling's continued to press on keeping Gohan on the defence, Gohan ducked under another punch from Cooler and saw that King Cold was about to attack again and quickly flew underneath and behind Cooler.

King Cold suddenly stopped his attack before he hit his son when Gohan grabbed Cooler's tail and started swinging him around bashing him into King Cold. Gohan kept a firm grip on his tail before swinging him around some more and picking up speed before letting him go and sending him crashing into King Cold again this time sending both into the ground.

The two Changelings reappeared and landed on the ground; where Gohan floated down to meet them.

Gohan smirked at his opponents appearances which were now covered in scrapes and marks all over their body.

King Cold was the first to break the silence between the three "You know Saiyan I must admit that your power is a very rare one indeed. No one has ever pushed me this far".

"What do you mean?" Gohan asked curiously.

"Time to show you the ultimate power of the Changeling race," said King Cold as he began powering up and wind started whipping around him.

Gohan put his arms out to block the wind but quickly pushed off the ground and raced towards King Cold. As much as Gohan wanted to see this new transformation and power that his Saiyan blood was calling out for. Gohan knew all too well what can happen in a fight by dragging it on, even if you are the most powerful warrior it doesn't mean you always win and Gohan was never going to take that chance again as he hammered his fist into King Cold's face sending him flying back and stopping his transformation.

Cooler reacted and tried to attack Gohan only for him to disappear and reappear behind Cooler and smashing him, face first into the ground before speeding off towards King Cold not wanting to give him enough time to transform.

Gohan attacked King Cold furiously and started beating him into the ground as he crashed into King Cold.

King Cold spit out some blood and tried to return a punch which Gohan ducked under and gave a strong one-two punch to King Colds gut before following it up with a sharp uppercut that sent the giant toppling to the ground.

Gohan flew into the air and started charging up energy in his hand pointing it at the downed King Cold. Gohan was about to throw the energy blast at King Cold when he was interrupted.

"HEY SAIYAN!" yelled Cooler as he floated high in the air holding a red energy ball in his hand. Gohan sensed the power behind the attack and looked on unimpressed.

"I know this attack isn't strong enough to take you down, but it is strong enough to take this planet down," said Cooler as he threw the energy ball towards the planet's surface.

Gohan quickly turned around with the energy ball in his hand a pulled back about to throw it when he was suddenly slammed in the back by a fierce wind that caused him to lose control of the energy ball and it to fly right by its target. Allowing Coolers energy ball to dig into the ground and destroy the core of the red planet causing one massive earthquake to happen.

Gohan grit his teeth in anger as he knew what was about to happen "Shit, it's like Namek all over again" as he looked behind him and saw that it was King Cold who had disrupted his attack.

Gohan growled in anger as Cooler approached him with a smug look on his face.

"It's all over Saiyan, this planet will explode soon and when that happens no more air for you" Cooler smirked triumphantly.

"Good thinking son," King Cold said.

Gohan had stayed quiet for a while before his aggravation turned into a confident smirk and a red aura returned to him and started to whip around him.

"Well then I better make this quick, so I have enough time to get off this planet," Gohan said confidently.

Not telling them that no matter what happened he always had instant transmission to get off the planet.

Gohan charged Cooler and smashed his face with a strong kick before turning around and about to strike King Cold when suddenly a strong wind pushed Gohan back. A bright light shone from King Cold's body "You're too late Saiyan all that talking gave me enough time to gather all the energy I needed to transform".

Gohan gritted his teeth in anger at letting this happen but then watched on in interest as the Saiyan in him wondered how strong this new opponent was going to be. When the light died down King Cold's transformation was now visible. He was slightly smaller than he was before, but he now had hard armour now covering his mouth and four sharp spikes coming out of his head. Gohan recognized the transformation that Cooler had used against his father when he first appeared on earth.

King Cold smirked at Gohan as he felt the power coursing through him, "You should be honoured Saiyan. You are the first ever to witness this form".

"Ya well I guess I'm about to be the one and only" Gohan smirked confidently.

"Oh we shall see," said King Cold as he attacked Gohan full force disappearing at an amazing speed that Gohan couldn't follow until it was too late and had a hard fist embedded in his stomach.

Gohan stood in shock as he felt the damage the blow had done and coughed up some blood before his face was grabbed roughly and was smashed into the ground head first.

"Ha-ha, that's better Saiyan. You finally know where you belong, with your face in the dirt" King Cold laughed smugly.

Gohan stood up wincing a bit "Oh Ya, well your about to know where your place is".

"Oh and where is that tiny Saiyan" smirked King Cold.

"In hell, where you belong. KAIO-KEN TIMES 2" Gohan yelled as a red aura flared wildly around him and his muscles bulked up and charged King Cold and punched him in the face.

King Cold winced at the power behind the punch and threw a left kick in return. Gohan quickly blocked the kick and then returned one of his own this time connecting with King Colds chin sending him skyward.

Gohan followed closely behind while King Cold regained control of himself and met Gohan head on. The two warriors clashed again and again, disappearing and reappearing all over the battlefield.

As the two continued on Cooler watched on the best he could from the ground as the two clashed over and over causing massive explosions to rattle the battlefield.

As he tried to follow, the battle anger filled Cooler "I'm a king, a master, the Lord of the universe. Yet here I am standing on the side like a weak commoner while that hairless monkey is beating into my father while I can't even keep up with the speed there moving at".

Anger welled up in Cooler as he clenched his fists and his power started increasing "NO I WON'T LET THIS HAPPEN" yelled Cooler as his power shot through the roof and bright white light surrounded his body. A purple cocoon surrounded his body, drawing the attention of both Gohan and King Cold.

"What's happening?" asked Gohan.

"He's transforming," King Cold said in pride.

"Oh shit, like it could get any worse," said Gohan in astonishment.

The purple cocoon started cracking open as light poured out from it.

When the light went away Cooler was in the same transformation as his father "Yes now this is power" laughed Cooler as he felt the new power he now possessed and then shot off towards Gohan and King Cold re-joining the fight.

"Good of you to join us son" smirked King Cold.

"Yes, it's good to be back father" replied Cooler as the two Changeling's floated beside one another keeping their eyes on Gohan the whole time.

"Are you ready to finish this father?" asked Cooler.

"Yes let's end this monkey" said King Cold as both him and Cooler charged Gohan who had dropped into a fighting stance and ducked under King Colds punch before he was kicked in the stomach by Cooler.

Gohan quickly recovered and threw a small energy blast at Cooler, which connected with his chest. Before blocking a kick from King Cold and returned with a punch of his own that connected with King Cold's stomach before he was hit in the back by a fierce kick from Cooler sending him crashing into the ground.

Gohan brought himself up from the dirt and turned around as he sensed both Changelings' coming towards him fast and launched at both warriors dodging a hit from Cooler, causing him to fly past him. Gohan quickly grabbed Cooler by his tail and spun him around and sent him flying into King Cold before Gohan charged some energy and threw an energy blast at the two which exploded on contact.

Gohan took some deep breaths as he felt his body starting to shut down. Gohan knew that the Kaio-Ken was now taking its toll on his body, his body while used to the power was only used to it during the Super Saiyan transformation that was natural. Gohan took a deep breath in and tried to keep his body together as the two Changelings went onto the attack. Both throwing energy blast after energy blast at him that sent him flying off trying to avoid all the blasts. Gohan continued to attempt to dodge the energy blasts when he was suddenly hit by a powerful energy blast that sent him crashing to the ground again.

The two Changeling's stared down at their handy work proud as they saw the tiny Saiyan slowly drag himself out from the rubble. Gohan barely managed to drag himself up from the rubble as his body was hurting all over. When Gohan managed to stand up, he stared at the two Changeling in the sky.

Up in the sky, the two Changeling's took in their surroundings where the lava came up from the ground everywhere and the sky was darkened pitch black as lightning came down from the heavens. To them it was a fitting scene for the death of the Saiyan before the planet blew up "I think it's time to end this father" said Cooler.

"Yes I think your right," said King Cold as he and Cooler started to both charge up purple energy blasts.

Gohan took in his surroundings "Just like Namek. I wonder if this is what it felt like for my father when he was fighting Frieza". Gohan looked up and saw the two Changeling's charging energy blasts. Gohan took in a deep breath to calm himself "This is it" thought Gohan as he cupped his hands together at his side "Ka...Ma...Ha...Ma...".

"It's time to end this Saiyan scum" yelled King Cold as he and Cooler both launched their energy beams, which combined into one.

"HA!" Gohan yelled out as a big blue energy blast shot out of his hands and met the purple energy beam causing a massive ki clash.

The two beams tried to push each other back but were kept at an even state with neither side stronger than the other. Gohan could feel his body starting to break apart and wasn't sure what to do. While stronger than either of the two Changeling's alone, they were about even with him together and he didn't know if how long he could hold up the Kamehameha's strength before his body shut down.

"Damn, my body feels like it's about to give out on me any second now. I guess trying to learn the Kaio-Ken through memory of watching dad do it was stupid... But it was my only chance" thought the saiyan.

On the other side of the energy blast both Cooler and King Cold where at their maximum's as well not able to push more power into the blast. It was all about who had the greatest will and strength to keep their beam up the longest before the other let go.

As the ki clash continued, Gohan knew his body was going to give out soon and was hoping for a miracle. When suddenly he felt a deep well of energy inside him that he was all too familiar with and dropped out of his Kaio-Ken form letting the purple beam overtake his blue one when he drew all the energy from the well of power as fast as possible. Transferring it into his Kamehameha that suddenly cut through the purple beam like it was nothing as a golden aura came over Gohan as his hair turned gold and his eyes turned green.

Both Cooler and King Cold could feel themselves on their last leg as the blue energy beam had almost completely took over their own.

"Father what do we do?" asked Cooler anxiously as he strained to keep up with the energy beam that was protecting them.

"I don't know. Where did he suddenly get all this power" wondered King Cold.

"It's time to end this, I hope you enjoy it in hell" yelled out Gohan as he pushed more power into the beam.

That was it as it ultimately took over the Changeling's and consumed them both, sending them to other world.

As soon as Gohan sent the beam into orbit he dropped his transformation and barely managed to stop himself from collapsing as sweat came off of him in bucket loads. "I transformed to fast before my body could adjust," Gohan said as he acknowledged what happened.

"I got to get out of here before the planet explodes" thought Gohan as he tried raising his hand to his head.

But found his body not able to co-operate "Easier said than done" thought Gohan as he tried again.

"Come on. Come on. I...Have...To...Do...This" Gohan struggled to say as he tried to force his hand to his head and focus on another planets life force when his body finally gave out, and he collapsed and fell into unconsciousness.

Gohan's beaten and tired body lay among the remains of planet Meat as lava started to surround his body. When suddenly a person appeared beside Gohan's side and then vanished as quickly as it came taking the young Saiyan with them.

So the Cold Family is dead, and someone has just saved Gohan, who is it?

King Cold's 5th transformation is on my deviantart account if you want to check out what it looks like, look under "Searching in the Past Saga 1", under my "gallery" (Everything is there.

As for Gohan's Kaio-Ken, (If people are wondering) he does know it (obviously), but it is highly flawed (He has not mastered it by any stretch of the imagination). The power he is putting out through Kaio-Ken is lower than what he would put out normally (non super saiyan) if he had all his power. And because he is using it so ineffectively it is ripping his body apart. So it is not the power output that is hurting him as normally his body could handle for more energy then it is currently putting out. Also when using a Kaio-Ken and a Kaio-Ken x2 he is not getting the full power from the attack. It's why I asked if people wanted power levels, because I could show that in the list and couldn't find an organic place to explain that in the story.
