AN: hey all sorry about how long it's taken for me to get this chapter out, between work and having to study for finals I've been swamped. I'd like to thank everyone who followed or choose to favorite this story, and to answer Krystal rain's review yes when Gohan made the wish to become a full saiyan his tail did grow back, but he chose to have it removed since he didn't know how to control the great ape form, and the super saiyan transformations rendered it all but useless to him.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
The usually empty medical wing was unusually active that morning as two women paced back and forth while their eyes frequently going back to the unconscious boy floating in a unique tank. While a man stood leaning against a wall his arms crossed and a glare set firmly upon his face.
Bulma couldn't help but to jump slightly anytime the rejuvenation tank beeped, each time hoping that the synthetic saiyan DNA would begin draining and her godson would finally be released. She had been up since five thirty that morning, constantly monitoring the tank. She hadn't been surprised to find her husband already standing there, but what had surprised her was the fact that sitting folded on the bed beside Vegeta was a one of Gohan's orange gi's.
Vegeta hadn't moved since he got there that morning, the arrogant prince wanted a spar the instant that Gohan exited that tank, and he was going to get it one way or another. Not that he thought it would be hard to get the other saiyan to spar with him, after all like all saiyan's Gohan had an innate love of fighting, even if the boy tried to fight and deny it. Vegeta was beginning to get rather impatient though, after all he had been here for nearly an hour now, and he could tell by the boy's energy that he should have been released by now.
The thoughts of the young man floating inside the tank weren't very different from the saiyan princes. Gohan knew that he showed have been released by now and was beginning to wonder if Bulma had made a mistake with the rejuvenation tanks sensors, and though he was loath to do it the young saiyan was beginning to ponder if he should simply force his way out of the tank. Before he could come to a decision though a loud beeping began to assault his ear drums rapidly, mere seconds before a large drain in the floor opened, the synthesized saiyan DNA quickly draining, as the breathing apparatus and the many sensors that had been placed over his body to monitor his vital signs were pulled back into their respective places in the walls of the tank.
Two of the three occupants of the room were quick to move to the opening tank, madam Pomfrey already having her wand at the ready so that she could give the young boy a quick scan to make sure that all his injuries had been taken care of, after all it wouldn't do the boy much good to only have his exterior wounds healed and leave all the damage that had been done to his insides.
At the same time Bulma simply wanted to make sure that the boy was ok, even though some part of her knew that he should be perfectly healthy, she couldn't help the worry that she felt for the young boy.
Both women's fears were quickly alleviated though as Gohan stepped out of the now empty rejuvenation tank, his usually gravity defying black hair currently drooping because of the liquid that still resided in it, much like the small rivers that ran down other parts of the boy's body where it pooled on the floor.
Vegeta couldn't help but to smirk as his onyx eyes watched the young saiyan take his first step out of the tank, followed by a second then a third, and so on until he was halfway between the slightly startled woman and the tank. Then with a soft grunt a blue flame quickly haloed the boy instantly drying him, reveling that the boy had a small smirk on his face as well.
Gohan couldn't help the small smirk that came to his face as he flexed the smallest amount of his incredible power, instantaneously drying the residual liquid that had clung to him, his onyx eyes quickly taking in the area around him, from the slightly shocked look on madam Pomfrey's face, to the look of relief that was apparent on his godmothers, and then finally to the look on Vegeta's face. Gohan recognized that look instantly; it was the same look the arrogant prince always wore right before he challenged the young saiyan to a fight. And though Gohan hated admitting it, the young saiyan had the same love to fight that all beings with saiyan blood had. The saiyan teen was surprised when Vegeta shifted slightly to the left his eyes shifting to look at the bed, Gohan wondering just what the older saiyan could be looking at allowed his gaze to drift the same way, only to smile as he noticed the pile of orange and blue clothes that rested on the bed.
When Gohan looked back at Vegeta the saiyan prince was somewhat surprised to find that the boy's smirk had changed to a smile that looked remarkably similar to the ones that his father used to sport all the time. The similarities between the two saiyan's becoming increasingly striking as the boy put on the gi that had been fashioned to look just like his fathers. Vegeta simply smirked as he turned and began to make his way out of the medical wing, Gohan right behind him both saiyan's already anticipating the coming fight.
Bulma knowing what the two were planning was about to object, until she saw the look on both saiyan's faces. The blue haired genius had grown accustomed to the smirk that usually sat on her husband's face, but it was the look on Gohan's face that shook her to her core. It was a look that Bulma hadn't expected to see again until she died, but with that smile on his face and the clothes that he was wearing Bulma could almost swear that she could see her old friend walking right beside him.
The two saiyan's had just made it out of the medical wing when madam Pomfrey finally came out of the stupor that she had been in ever since Gohan had emerged from the rejuvenation tank. The older woman was about to charge after the two until Bulma's hand came to rest gently upon her shoulder. The younger woman was quick to promise that she'd bring Gohan back here, before she took off to go and grab her young son, so that they could both go and watch Gohan and Vegeta.
The sun had barely made its way over the horizon when the two powerful males finally made it out to the edge of the lake. Both men stood mere feet from the other, staring directly at the other, Vegeta wearing his usually arrogant smirk, while Gohan had a small smile similar to the one his father always used to sport right before he entered a battle with his friends. Neither man moved at first, almost like they were waiting for someone to fire a starter's pistol. That all changed the instant that the giant squid's tentacles crept out of the black lake, and like a gun going off both saiyan's disappeared, a resounding boom echoing of the mountains.
In the girl's dormitory Hermione had only just finished buttoning her grey skirt planning to head to the medical wing to check on her friend, all thoughts of checking on the injured boy left her mind though when a chorus of echoing boom hit her ears. Hermione couldn't help the glare that set itself upon her face as she all but ran over to the window. The young girl's anger turned to rage the instant that she saw the black lake, or more precisely the two men that were hovering a few feet above the black lake.
"That idiot" Hermione snarled as she spun on her heel and began marching towards the exit, all the other girls quickly getting out of the obviously furious girls way. Hermione didn't even acknowledge Harry or Ron when she passed them, to focused on making her way down to the lake.
Gohan couldn't help the smile that graced his face as he and Vegeta broke apart both men landing about ten feet from the other. Both saiyan's clothes had been torn, their faces and arms covered in marks that could easily turn into bruises, and yet it was obvious to the audience that had begun to grow since the twos first blows, that the men were enjoying themselves immensely.
Having no desire to let Vegeta take the upper hand, Gohan was quick to explode into motion again. To the onlookers Gohan seemed to simply disappear from where he was, only to reappear right in front of Vegeta his fist crashing into the arm that Vegeta had brought up, the older male was quick to lash out with a kick, Gohan dropped to the ground letting the kick sail harmlessly over his head, before the teen sprang back up hoping to hit the older male with an uppercut. The saiyan prince was quick to lean back, before striking back at the teen's stomach, Gohan managed to lift his leg to block the hit, before both men dissolved into blurs. Moving too fast for the students to see, the only proof they had that the two were still fighting, were the echoing booms.
Hermione scowled as she shoved her way through the crowd of gaping students, she had one goal right now and that was to get to Gohan so that she could give the boy a piece of her mind. With a brutal shove Hermione finally made it to the front of the crowd before taking a deep breath.
"GOHAN GET DOWN HERE NOW!" Hermione screamed causing everyone to freeze including the two saiyan's, both in rather comical positions, as Gohan floated his foot mere inches from crashing into Vegeta's ribs while the saiyan princes fist was mere centimeters from connecting with Gohan's face.
The young saiyan couldn't help but to gulp when he looked at Hermione, a glare set firmly on the girls face, her arms crossed over her chest, and her left foot bouncing up and down rapidly. The teen knew that look; it was the same look his mother used to give his father right after he'd do something stupid. Even though the young saiyan wanted nothing more than to turn and run he slowly began to float down towards the angry girl.
