Gohan went to go look for his family. Children were running around playing tag as their Masters watch over them carefully. Others were training , learning how to hover above ground.
*Flashback*
"It's fairly simple to do," Magus said walking around a young Gohan in a circle. Gohan was hovering a foot off the ground, trying to keep steady. It was harder than it looked. "It should be easy for you since you already know how to fly. We do not touch land that is not our own. Every planet is sacred, and we are guests."
Leon watched while eating a bag of potato chips. His hair was much shoulder and came to his shoulders. He stood there chomping away.
"How long to I have to stay like this," Gohan asked as he started to shake.
"For a little while longer," Magus replied as he kept circling. "If you touch the ground without permission you will have to be punished. It is the only way to learn. Do not take offense if you get slapped across the face. It is the way we teach."
"Stop shaking kid," Leon said reaching for more chips. "Concentrate hard enough and you'll be able to do it with ease."
Gohan closed his eyes to relax. He tried to stop shaking, and tried his best to relax his body without falling. Gohan fell on his hands and knees and was out of breath. He couldn't concentrate hard enough, and he was using all his energy to stay afloat. Magus shook his head and walked in front of Gohan. Gohan lifted up his head at Magus. With a quick strike Magus slapped Gohan across the face.
"Now get up and do it again," Magus said. Gohan stood up. He made himself less tense as he floated up off the ground once again. This time he wasn't shaking. Magus began walking around Gohan once more. Leon reached in his bag and noticed there were no more chips left. He pouted.
"They're all gone," he said as his eyes started to water. "I can't believe it…I ate the whole thing. Now I have nothing to do!"
Leon fell on his knees and cried. Gohan watched as Leon threw a temper tantrum on the ground, kicking and pounding his hands on the ground. Magus shook his head and placed his hand on Gohan's shoulder.
"You can relax now." Gohan hovered back to the ground still watching Leon roll on his stomach and back. Magus rubbed his temples and sighed. "Just ignore him. He does that just to get attention."
Magus pulled Gohan away as Leon started to scream about his potato chips.
*End Flashback*
Slap!
One of the children fell from hovering. Gohan watched as the child got back up again and floated once more. This time he was more determined to stay there. The child's Master nodded in approval, and gently ruffled up the child's hair. Magus did the same thing when Gohan did something right. He used to smile; he used to be so kind.
It all changed when Gohan transformed into a super saiyan for the first time. Magus then saw Gohan's true power, and wanted it for his own. That's when he became tougher, and the punishment became torture. Still, Gohan did whatever he was told. Once he surpassed super saiyan to the next level that's when Magus took his memory.
*flashback*
Gohan, who was in super saiyan form, concentrated on washing dishes with his mind. He was hovering in the air with the unique robe everyone in the colony wore. Being a super saiyan made it easier. He was stronger and it made using his mental powers easier. Although Magus was being a pain. He said that they were going to Earth, his home, because of a monster named Cell. Mistress wanted Gohan to do this mission so he could see his family again, and let them know that he was okay. She also wanted him to decide if he wanted to go back to his family.
What Mistress didn't know was that Magus put a mind spell on Gohan. For a while, Gohan could not remember who he was, where he was from, and even his own name. Everyone started to call him Child. It was mostly Leon that gave him that name. He thought Gohan sounded funky, and it reminded him of food. Leon was never very good at naming things. He had a cat he named Cat (which "ran away" according to Magus), a dog he named Puppy (who "ran away" with the cat), and a fish named Fishy Fish McFish Ish Fisssssssh (who died three hours Leon had him. Leon was devastated for days and locked himself in his room). He called Gohan Child because he was a child.
Magus's spell on Gohan didn't work so well. Gohan began to remember things, but he couldn't remember all. He knew he was a saiyan, which is why he could transform, but how and why still bothered him. His home was on Earth where his family was, but he couldn't picture his mother or father. Gohan couldn't remember why he couldn't remember, and did not know that Magus was the one who blocked his memory.
Gohan started thinking about his home, trying to remember his mother and father. He didn't realize that his thinking was distracting him from the dishes. Instead of drying the dishes with a rag, the dishes were being placed in the sink and the rag just wiping nothing but air. Magus realized that Gohan was distracted and grabbed one of the dishes. He then smashed the dish on Gohan's head. All the dishes that were in the air fell and broke on the ground. Gohan fell on his knees, held his head and looked up at Magus.
"You deserved and you know it," Magus said angry. "If you don't concentrate on the task I will lock you up in the dark room again."
"It doesn't matter if it's dark or not," Gohan growled. Magus frowned. The kid was growing up and becoming more powerful by the day. He had to be careful around Gohan. "Why am I stuck doing dishes? It's not even my turn!"
"Leon disappeared after dinner, and you need to learn how to concentrate on a task without spacing out! Look! You already broke some of the dishes because you were distracted!"
"You broke a plate on my head!"
"You have to learn to concentrate on one thing and know your surroundings at the same time!"
Gohan growled. This was starting to piss him off. First he got stuck with dish duty because Leon had an emergency of some sort, then Magus decided to make it into a lesson. Thanks to Leon he got stuck with dish duty, and a hangover from drinking too much last night.
Gohan knew Leon's emergency; he ran out of alcohol and needed to get some more. It just so happened that Leon's emergency happened when it was his turn to do the dishes.
"When we go to fight Cell you have to make it quick and fast," Magus said kicking the broken glass at Gohan. "If you space out he will kill you and the planet. Now clean up the mess you made!"
"You made this mess," Gohan said. He slammed his hand on the broken glass. "You pick it up."
Magus glared at Gohan. He bent down and picked up a sharp piece of the broken plate. He stuck a piece of glass between him fingers and slapped Gohan across the face, leaving a long cut on Gohan's cheek.
"You do not tell me what to do," Magus said watching Gohan's cheek bleed. "I am your Master and you WILL do as I say. Now pick this mess YOU made or I WILL throw you in the dark room."
Gohan, still in shock, just sat there. He could feel the blood running down his cheek and landing on his hand.
Everyday there was always something he did wrong, and Magus would punish him for it. He would be thrown in the dark for stupid things, like resting after helping out other planets. Gohan worked hard, and Magus did nothing but push Gohan's buttons. Gohan wanted to go home, but Magus kept him here against his will. He couldn't remember what his family looked like but he knew that his family would remember him.
"I said to pick it up you useless piece of shit!"
Gohan snapped of out his shock and glared at Magus.
"I've had enough of you," Gohan shouted as he stood up. The broken dishes around Gohan began to spin around him. Magus fell backwards and watched as Gohan's hair went from yellow to gold. The tips of his hair pointed straight up, and his power began to rise. "I have taken nothing but abuse from you. I told you many times that I wanted to go home and you gave me nothing but excuses!"
Gohan straightened his arm out. An energy ball appeared in his hand as the pieces of broken dishes still swirled around Gohan.
"What power," Magus whispered to himself. He put his arms in front of him for defense. "Don't you see Child? Don't you see this power that you have? That's why I've been pushing you so hard! This is the hidden power that you have inside of you! I wanted you to release it! Now that you have it I can teach you to control it."
"I know how to control my power," Gohan said as the energy ball got bigger. "You don't know how to control me. Are you scared Master? Are you terrified that I can easily kill you with one attack?"
"Y-yes I am, but I wanted you to release your power! I did this for you!"
"No…no you didn't." Gohan wiped off some blood off his check with his other hand. He himself had a hard time controlling all this power at once. Revenge flowed through his veins, and Magus needed to suffer.
"I have more alcohol!"
Gohan and Magus turned their heads towards Leon, who had bags and bags of liquor out stretched on his arms. He noticed Gohan ready to attack Magus, and Magus on the ground scared. He lowered his arms and placed the bags on the ground.
"Did I come at a bad time," Magus asked pulling out a bottle of vodka. "I can leave if you want. I didn't mean to interrupt…what exactly am I interrupting?"
"The death of your brother," Gohan said. Leon opened the bottle and walked over to Gohan. He looked at the energy ball in Gohan's hands, then looked at his brother.
"Cool," he said as he took a sip of the vodka. "It tastes like a strong cotton candy. Here Child, try some!"
Leon placed the bottled in Gohan's mouth. Gohan began to swallow the liquor in gulps. The energy ball disappeared from Gohan's hand and the swirling glass fell to the ground. Leon pulled the bottle out and realized it was half empty. Magus could only watch as Gohan stayed in super saiyan level two form, but able to control it.
"I told you to stop pouring alcohol down my throat," Gohan yelled as he tried not to cough.
"But it tastes like cotton candy, right," Leon asked, completely ignoring whatever Gohan said. "Want another swing?"
"I don't-"
Leon shoved the bottle down Gohan's throat once more.
"When I saw it on the shelves I just had to buy it. Earth is an amazing planet when it comes to alcohol and its wide selection. I am starting to get used to red wine, but I enjoy the cool taste of white wine. Tequila is a little strong for me, but once I drink enough of it I'll get used to the taste. Although they did have tequila on sale at the store." Leon noticed that the bottle in his hand was empty. "I can't believe you drank the whole thing."
Leon pulled the bottle out of Gohan's mouth and pouted.
"I think I'm going to be sick," Gohan said. Leon patted Gohan on the back with a smile on his face.
"I see you managed to become super saiyan level two." Gohan stood there and realized that he was different. He was more powerful. "You saiyans and your anger issues. If you don't know how to control your power then you will never learn how to control yourself. So, how did you achieve this power?"
"I got mad," Gohan said. He scratched the back of his head. "But I don't remember why I was mad. I can't remember what happened a few minutes ago. The last thing I remember was doing the dishes."
"Rage blinds you Child. Now, I'm going to finish the dishes. You stay in level two form to control it better. If anger blinds you that bad then you have to see through it. Run along now."
Gohan nodded his head and started to walk away. His cheeks were turning a slight shade of pink, and Leon knew that the kid will be good for a few hours before passing out in front of the toilet again.
To be young again.
Leon walked over to his brother and bent down next to him. He grabbed Magus and hugged him tightly.
"I'm alright brother," Magus said patting his brother on his back.
"I thought he was going to kill you," Leon cried as tears fell down his face. "I told you to stop pushing him so hard! He's half saiyan for heaven's sake! He's a child! He doesn't know how to control the power that he has!"
"I know brother." Leon leaned back and sat on his knees. He wiped the remaining tears away from his face. "After he defeats Cell I will 'train' him to control the power that he has."
"Good," Leon said as he reached his hand out. Another bottle of liquor went straight to his hand. "So how about we drink this one out of our memories."
"Of course brother. We will wash away one memory at a time," Magus said as an evil smirk spread across his face.
*End of the long flashback*
Super Saiyan level two.
Gohan still had issue trying to control that power. There weren't any circumstances to where he needed to transform. Maybe if he went back home to his mom and dad, he can learn out to control it.
Back at home with his mom and dad?
"I think now…I am ready to go home." Gohan said to himself as he made his way down a dark hallway.
