Redskinsceltics205: Thanks, good to know I'll get on that!

Stikchan3: Nuketown only! Kap40 no-scopes, I'll f*ckin jump on you like Mario! Is "anyways" a word? I'm not sure. Yeah I have quite a bit of time nowadays, having no assignments is great! Good, I got his attitude and personality down pat pretty much. Yeah he freakin nailed the coverup. YAY yours is up! I'll start directing people there, and yeah they'll be given fair warning.

Janice Mae: Yay! You think it's a good idea! Alright I'm on the job now. Thanks, it's always flattering to know that people think this story is awesome, it is my first time writing a fic so praise is a nice thing to get.

Guest: You do? That's great to hear! And I'd put it to maybe you're third priority though, after eating and...using the bathroom. Otherwise things might get a liiiiiittle bit messy. ;)

JJ: So five reviews for that chapter eh? Thanks guys! Oh and also my friend StikChan3, the owner of Chan3 from my story that is, has got his own Fic up, it's about Chan3's reasons for being there and it's shows his perspective on all these situations to give you all a little more clarity. You guy's should check it out after you've finished reading this, it's looking pretty good. Warning to you though, his writing style is a little different from mine and it will be slightly darker and probably more violent. But if you don't mind those things check it out, it's called Demon Guardian...or is it Guardian Demon...one sec... Yep it's Guardian Demon. Go take a look!

But enough of this meaningless chatter! To the story mobile! Caution however, this particular chapter is going to be quite dark and has a little plot in it as it sorts out some things. But after this it should be mostly normal and humorous again.

Chapter 21: The rage of a man who'd lost everything.

"...We're all going to Capsule Corp in 2 months!" The teacher exclaimed excitedly, as the students in the room went ballistic at the news. They were all going to Capsule Corp!
"No..." Gohan said quietly, "No!" he said again slightly louder, "NO...NO!...N-!"

"-othing ever goes my way" Gohan said as he walked to his locker,
"What are you so grim about brains? We're going to Capsule Corp, you'll fit right in there!" Sharpener tried to encourage, failing miserably,
"Yeah, you'd think he'd be excited about this" Videl said, "So what's the problem?" She asked him,
"Nothing, just forget about it" Gohan told her with a nervous smile. He finished packing his bag and headed for the doors, "Well I can't join in on the group activities today guys, gotta get home on time and give this note to my mom" Gohan told them, waving to them, "I'll see you guys Monday morning" He called out to them, leaving the school area and looking for an alley he could take off from.

About 5 minutes later, he sensed something unusual about the area he was in. He reached out with his Ki and found nothing unusual, Trunks' ki was flying to Capsule Corp, 17 was probably with him, Videl, Sharpener and Erasa were all walking together in the opposite direction to him, and he was surrounded by the dozens of Ki signatures that made up the public. But that's when he realised,
"There's no one on this street" he whispered to himself in alarm, when suddenly all the Ki's came together into one huge signature right behind him, "Chan3..." he said without turning around,
"Gohan..." Chan3 muttered back grimly,
"So...this is it then" Gohan told him, his eyes going to the sky,
"I'm afraid so" Chan3 told him, his eyes, though robotic, still conveyed sympathy, "If it's any consolation..." Chan3 told him, walking towards Gohan slowly, "...You are nothing like how I expected you to be" Chan3 told him, he didn't necessarily want to kill Gohan. It's just that he had to kill Gohan, for the sake of his home,
"And what did you expect me to be like?" Gohan asked him in curiosity,
"Let's just say that you were a good person Son Gohan, and you surprised me in many ways" Chan3 told him simply,
"I'm genuinely sorry for the inconvenience and I'm sure you have a good reason to be doing what you're doing, but I'm not going down easily" Gohan told him,
"That's quite alright, I wouldn't allow you to go down without a fight" Chan3 told him forgivingly,
"You know that my friends are going to try to bring me back" Gohan pointed out,
"The way that I intend to kill you, you wont be revived" Chan3 explained to him.

Gohan nodded in understanding, before powering up to Super Saiyan straight away, knowing that his normal state was no match for Chan3, Gohan turned and charged at Chan3 who did the same, they met with punches, their fists colliding, creating a shockwave, Chan3 kicked out at Gohan who caught the kick, turned, and threw him into the sky, Gohan phased out and came up behind Chan3 but it seemed the latter had the advantage in speed, turning and ducking under Gohan's punch, throwing both his legs up into Gohan's chest, sending him flying back before falling back down to the ground, Gohan regained his balance and stopped,
"He can't fly" Gohan noted.

He flew back at Chan3 and kicked him in the chest, using him to surf along the ground before jumping off him and allowing him to slide, Chan3 jumped back up and flew at Gohan faster than his eyes could detect, clothes-lining him making Gohan fly backwards but before he could even hit the ground Chan3 had turned around and ran straight back at him, kneeing him in the spine and moving around to infront of Gohan punching him in the stomach and back into the ground. Gohan pulled his legs up and rolled back slightly, transferring his weight to his hands, before pushing off with his hands and throwing one foot up into Chan3's chin, rolling backwards onto his feet in the process before leaping at Chan3 and punching him across the jaw, Chan3 managed to keep his balance and not fall over but he still slid backwards on his feet from the force of the punch. Chan3 stopped his sliding and blocked a kick that was aimed at his throat, he jumped and landed with his hands on Gohan's shoulders before jumping upwards into the sky and doing a somersault before coming back down with a kick to the back of Gohan's neck.

Gohan got back up and threw a kick into the side of Chan3's knee causing him to buckle momentarily, giving Gohan enough time to bring the same foot back up and side-kick Chan3 dead center in the middle of his chest, Chan3 threw some chains as he flew that wrapped around Gohan's arms and pulled him along, Chan3 dug his feet into the ground to stop himself, and then flicked his wrists over his head, causing Gohan to fly up with the chains, he turned and then flicked them again, launching Gohan straight towards a building. Gohan flipped in mid-air and landed feet first against the building in a crouched position, he then pushed off immediately, causing the part of the wall he had jumped off to crumble upon his launch. Using his momentum, Gohan stuck both his knees out hitting Chan3 in the stomach with them, taking Chan3 with him all the way to the wall, where Chan3 was smashed between the building and Gohan's knee's and of course the first thing to give with all that pressure and force that needed to be dispersed was the concrete wall.

The two of them stood back up,
"Let's take this away from the city" Gohan suggested,
"I agree, too many innocents that could be caught in the crossfire" Chan3 told him, receiving a nod from Gohan. Gohan turned and flew towards a wasteland with Chan3 running along below him,
"I'll meet you there" Chan3 told him, disappearing and Gohan felt his Ki signature already at the location,
"He's fast" Gohan muttered to himself. Deciding that using a little energy wouldn't hurt too much, he let himself reach a little over light-speed and appeared at Chan3's location.

"Hmph, well you certainly aren't slow by universal standards, just slow by my standards" Chan3 told him arrogantly,
"Yeah? Well I'm sure fast enough to do THIS!" Gohan shouted punching Chan3 in the cheek, causing him to go careening off to the side, Gohan pushed off after him and right before he could follow up Chan3 disappeared and Gohan was hit in the back, then he was hit across the cheek, but before he could recover from that he was hit in the back of the head, this continued for a whole minute, Gohan could not track Chan3 with his eyes and he was getting hit from every side,
"Don't use your eyes...use your other senses" Gohan thought to himself, and so he closed his eyes, he was hit across the cheek, but this time he saw it! Or rather felt it, the displacement of air right beside him before he was hit. He stood there and waited, he felt something next to him and he reacted, Gohan threw his arm out, hitting Chan3 in the nose with the back of his fist before turning and punching him in the stomach, Chan3 recovered quickly and elbowed Gohan in the side of the head, he attempted to follow up with a knee to the stomach but Gohan side-stepped it threw an uppercut into Chan3's jaw from beside him. The two leapt away from eachother,
"Impressive, you were able to track my movements, that is quite the feat, unfortunately you won't be able to tell of it" Chan3 told Gohan charging at him, Gohan blocked a punch with his forearm, he pushed the fist to the side by swinging that arm away from him, leaving Chan3's right side open, he exploited the opening with a knee that caused Chan3 some obvious pain.

It looked as if Gohan had the advantage in combat skill so far as he barely dodged another punch, he felt Chan3's gloved knuckles brush past his cheek and he countered with an uppercut to Chan3's chest, Chan3 caught it with his free hand and headbutted Gohan in the nose, he followed up with a fireball, Gohan watched as his cheeks swelled up and as Chan3 opened his mouth Gohan watched the flames reach out in their attempt to engulf him, he jumped up over the flames and fired a Ki-blast in Chan3's direction, hitting him, the blast causing a crater that stretched for half a mile all around. Chan3 emerged with one of his arms completely gone, and hope filled Gohan's self, perhaps he might actually win this. But that hope faded as Chan3's arm quickly grew back, looking as if it had never been gone,
"WHAT!?" Gohan cried in surprise. Chan3 looked at his new arm,
"Regeneration" he commented simply.

Just f*cking great! How the hell was he suppose to beat such a strong opponent if they could regenerate. But that's when he realised.
"What if I'm not supposed to beat him..." and as soon as Gohan had that thought, all hope of winning left him. It was obvious that Chan3 was doing this for a greater cause. Maybe he was suppose to die. Maybe it was his destiny. Gohan fell back to the ground with a whole new look on this fight and Chan3 could clearly tell,
"What's changed? You seem different" Chan3 told him, somewhat concerned,
"Hehehe, hehehehahaha! I just realised something!" Gohan said with a somewhat sick and twisted tone to his laughter, "Hahahaha! Y-You see-hahaha!-I'm going to die in this fight Chan3! Hahaha!" Gohan told him, amused by his own revelation, and now Chan3 was clearly concerned,
"Then why are you laughing?" Chan3 asked nervously,
"AHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHA!" Gohan continued to laugh maniacally, "H-Hold on let's just make this clear, I'm the ONLY one you're going to kill right?" Gohan asked, "If you kill me you'll leave eh?" Gohan asked with a smile,
"Yes that's the idea" Chan3 told him,
"Hehehe, well that's good, for me anyway, you see Chan3..." Gohan said, his power rising dramatically as he began to transform, "I know for a fact I'm going to die, and I also know you're not gonna kill anyone else" Gohan explained to his opponent, "Nothing is going to change either of those things" Gohan continued, and Chan3 was worried that when the fight resumed, he was going to be doing alot more regenerating.

"Chan3, right now I no longer have anything to gain from this fight other than just that, a fight, which I'm looking forward to. I'm no longer a man with a good reason to live, my family and friends are going to be just fine, I have no pressure on me about winning this fight, there is no urgent need for me to win anymore, seeing as I obviously can't change the fact that this will be my final resting place" Gohan finished his explanation, "So answer me this, do you know what kind of man is more dangerous than one with everything to lose and a possibility of saving those things? Or even a man with nothing to lose and everything to gain?" Gohan asked him, lightning dancing across his body as his power more than doubled with his new transformation, and Chan3 backed up slightly, "A man with nothing left to lose and nothing more to gain" Gohan told him darkly, charging him recklessly, with no cautiousness, and Chan3 was somewhat intimidated by this side of Gohan, it reminded him far too much of the Gohan he knew.

Gohan hit Chan3 with a knee to the face and then a elbow to the temple, it knocked Chan3 down and he kicked him back up and punched his hooded opponent through a mountain, Chan3 regained his balance and started hitting Gohan from all sides, but this time instead of using his senses to detect Chan3's movement he simply chuckled sadistically as if he was enjoying this, before throwing Ki blast's in every direction, one caught Chan3 by the leg as he went to dodge another and it blew off his leg. Chan3 regenerated it just in time to see Gohan's fist fly out of the smoke from behind him and smash him deep into the ground, Gohan then fired a large blast at the area of impact and blasted Chan3 apart,
"AGH!" He cried in pain, he regenerated his damaged chest and arm before breathing another fireball at Gohan, he however looked at it disinterestedly and powered up right before it hit him, the wind current caused by the power-up dispersing the flames.

"You act as if you're enjoying this!" Chan3 called out incredulously,
"That's because I am!" Gohan shouted in reply, phasing infront of Chan3 in a crouched position, uppercutting straight up into Chan3's stomach, before pulling his fist out and standing up straight and throwing a hook into the side of his head with the other hand, "The way I see it, the last thing I'm gonna do before I die is fight, now that doesn't necessarily appeal to my Human mind who wishes I could say goodbye to my family but it definitely appeals to my Saiyan mind, who is very prominent right now" Gohan explained, "If I'm gonna fight to the death I might as well make it a memorable battle" Gohan told him, picking him up by the collar and blasting him in the chest at point blank range, blowing him apart once more.

Chan3 regenerated,
"Come on! Fight for real! Otherwise this wont even be a fight!" Gohan taunted, kicking Chan3 in his recently regenerated throat, "I know you have more power than this" Gohan demanded, folding his arm to his shoulder and using his elbow to uppercut Chan3 in the chin, before grabbing him by his back and throwing him against his quickly rising knee, tossing him away afterwards, "Or maybe I'm wrong, this is going to be a real bummer of a last fight if you're only going to be able to kill me because I'm going to run out of energy a few hours from now, at this rate you'll just be thrashed around until I'm weak enough for you to do anything" Gohan taunted, waiting for a response, after not getting one though he flew at Chan3 and grabbed him by the back of his head and shoved it into the ground, dragging him along as he flew, "Show me your real strength! You're no match for me how you are now!" Gohan demanded, pulling him up from the ground and throwing him up about three feet and as Chan3 began to fall back down, Gohan gathered a blast in his hand and hit Chan3 in the back with it, letting the blast go and push Chan3 off into the sky. He waited a few moments before squeezing his fist closed, causing the blast to explode, earning him a pained shout from the sky above him, as the sky was lit up by an explosion as big as one would expect to see from some kind of Atom bomb, only the force of the explosion was probably about equal to 100 atom bombs.

He stood there and waited, and waited, and waited. But Chan3 did not regenerate,
"Ch-Chan3?" Gohan asked, his dark amused expression falling away, he searched the skies frantically, "Are you there?!" He called out urgently. Gohan flew up to the sky and looked for him, "Chan3! This isn't funny! Come out and fight me already! KILL ME!" He demanded shouting out to the sky, he waited for an attack, or a response but he didn't get one. He suddenly began to chuckle nervously, his voice laced with doubt that he tried to disguise, "Oh I s-see, you're just tryna psyche me out! Hehehehe...well it wont work so you can come on out now!" Gohan said, almost pleadingly, but there was only silence, "Chan3...?" he asked almost silently, he had resigned himself to death and now that he was at that stage he didn't want to win, he just wanted to fight to the death, "CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN3!" He screamed at the top of his lungs.

Gohan floated back down to the ground and sunk to his knees, staring at the ground, still not quite in his right mind. He had been ready to die and now that he was still alive his mind was confused as to why he was still alive, where was the pain, the thrill, the excitement and the battle? Not able to cope with it all Gohan just broke down in tears, crying. He didn't know what to do anymore, everything else just seemed too dull now, there was just...nothing. But that's when he felt a hand fall upon his shoulder, Gohan looked up quickly and met the Black yet warm eyes of his father, accompanied by Vegeta, who stood a little behind Goku,
"D-Daddy?" Gohan asked, his mentality in shreds,
"Son, I saw the whole thing, it's okay, you won" Goku told him, "No one else died, you did great" Goku encouraged him,
"Father I-I was prepared to die and now that there's no death...I just...I don't know what to do anymore" Gohan admitted, hoping his father would know what to do. Goku merely shook his head slightly and smiled warmly,
"Son, now you come home with me your mother and brother" Goku told him and then at that moment everything seemed clear, Gohan suddenly remembered that he did indeed have a reason to live in the first place, but in the gloom of what he thought was certain death, he had forgotten.

"F-Father..." Gohan said, hugging his father tightly, "Tha-" But he didn't get to finish as at that moment, there was a cry of,
"THIRD FORM! RELEASE!" And then everything was a blur. Gohan watched as chains wrapped around his father's form, keeping him in place, and then his stomach dropped and Gohan resisted the urge to vomit as he watched several swords come out of his father's chest, drenched in blood, the look on Goku's face as he stared into his son's eyes would forever haunt Gohan as they turned cold and empty of life, Goku's body went limp and his heart all but stopped, the swords were yanked out of his back and the Chains unwrapped.

Goku's body fell forward onto the ground as blood cascaded from his wounds, a pool of blood quickly growing around his body. Gohan dropped infront of his father and rolled him onto his back. There was nothing, he faintly heard Vegeta scream in rage and power up to Super Saiyan 2 before charging off at the enemy but Gohan paid it no mind. He sat there as shockwaves rumbled around him and explosions landed all around him, and he was showered in dirt, but he paid it no mind. There were immense energies fighting above him in a battle that was awe inspiring, but he paid it no mind. He simply sat there, with his father's head in his hands, who surprisingly had the strength to talk,
"G-Gohan...tell y-your mother that I'm sorry and that I love her very much..." He forced out, every word obviously causing him great pain, "Tell Goten t-that Daddy is v-very very sorry, and that I love him so much, and that w-when I see him n-next, I'll do whatev-ever he wants to do for a whole week" Goku forced out once again, blood beginning to leak from his mouth as well and he choked,
"Father please, you can make it!" Gohan begged.

By now Trunks and 17 had arrived at the field of battle, Trunks also turning Super Saiyan 2 and charging. 17 came over to Gohan and was shouting something to him but Gohan didn't hear it, 17 shook him but got no response and so turned and engaged in battle.
"...I'm so s-sorry Gohan...But...y-you have to remember...that...I'll always...love-you...son" And then he was gone, Goku was actually gone. He had just died in Gohan's arms. Gohan sat there cradling his father's head for hours as the battle raged before him, a sword flew straight at his head but Trunks kicked it at the last second and it landed right next to Gohan's leg. Gohan was having trouble comprehending it all. He saw 17 fall down off to his right, but what horrified him most was that 17 didn't have any legs and already seemed to be dead, next Trunks hit the ground, missing his left arm, his mouth wide open in pain as he grabbed at the wound and rolled around in agony, it all had to be some crazy nightmare, this just couldn't be happening. But finally Vegeta flew down and hit the ground, his arm bent in a weird way and his head turned in an unnatural angle, his eyes looked unfocused and he didn't seem right. it didn't appear that he was breathing at all. Then finally everything else focused, Trunks screams hit his ears like a jet plane, 17's condition became very real and Vegeta moaned lightly and gargled on his own blood.

The fool who did this had just signed his death warrant, Chan3 was now going to face the wrath of a kind of man even more dangerous then one with nothing to lose...a man who had just lost everything infront of his very own eyes.

JJ: This is the end of this chapter, so the next chapter will probably be the last plot related chapter for quite awhile. I'm already starting on the next chapter so it shouldn't be too long. It'll probably be up by tommorow because I'm on a roll. But it also might not so don't get your hopes too high. As you can see, alot of sh*ts goin down in this chapter, and it is quite dark. Speaking of which don't forget to Go and check out Stikchan3's story, and give it a neat little review on what you think so far, for me please? Oh and also review this chapter and tell me what you thought! I'd like something warm or funny after all this dark and gloom. Till next time peeps!
