Chapter 20

"No, that's not possible." Bulma muttered.

"You're lying, my Dad is the strongest in the whole universe! He can't be dead!" Trunks shouted at Goku, fighting back tears.

"I'm sorry Trunks, but he's not lying." Mirai said.

"Then why didn't anyone save him?" Trunks shouted.

"It's complicated." Goku said.

"Then I'll kill that monster myself!" Trunks declared.

Goku knelt in front of him. "Then you're gonna have learn the Fusion Technique."

"I'll learn that and anything else!" Trunks said with determination

"Good, your Father would be proud." Goku told him. "Now I don't have much time, so boys come with me. You too Piccolo."

"Goku, I'm going to take Gohan to the World of the Kai's for training." Shin said.

"I'm going with you. I'm going to master the final form in this book." Hawk said. "Goku, when you're done here come to the planet and help me train."

"Sure thing." Goku said.

"Krillen, Yamcha let's go." 18 said.

"Where?" Krillen asked.

"We're going to go get ready for this battle." 18 told them.

"We have to fight?" Yamcha whined.

"If everyone else fails." They followed her knowing they could die at the hands of 18 now or Majin Buu in a week.

"Piccolo go get the boys ready." Goku said. Piccolo nodded and went inside the building. "Hey Champ I've got a job for you."

"Y-yeah?" Hercule questioned.

"See this guy? He's Mr. Buu. He's very powerful but he needs someone to teach him right from wrong and basic martial arts. Can you do it?" Goku explained.

"Of course, I can do it. I'll make him my number one student." Hercule declared.

"Great!" Hercule left with Buu and began to teach him. Goku then went to teach the boys the Fusion Technique.

"Gohan, Hawk let's go." Shin said.

"Give me a minute." Hawk said, walking over to Jess. "How's it going?"

"Well this is the first time I've been on the frontline for the potential end of the world. It's a little nerve racking." Jess said.

"Remember, I'm here to protect you."

"I know, just don't get hurt."

"I'll try." He leaned in and kissed her.

"Aren't they just the cutest couple?" Gohan said making sure Hawk could hear him.

"Oh shut up." Hawk growled. He walked over to Shin and they were teleported to the World of the Kais. It was a very green planet, it smelled fresh and was very bright. "This must be what Earth was like before humans ruined it."

"Very similar actually. Earth was one of the more beautiful planets." Shin said.

"I forgot you've been around forever."

Shin smiled. "Now follow me." They took off following Shin.

"So, what is this training?" Gohan asked.

"I need you to remove an ancient relic and use it to train. It's called the Z-Sword." Shin told him.

"Hey I'm the swordsman! Why are you giving him a sword?"

"No offence, but you won't be able to defeat Buu, Gohan will." Shin said.

"Whatever Jerk." Hawk muttered, knowing he was right.

They arrived at the Z-Sword's location. The Z-Sword was stuck in rock the was several stories tall. "Now go pull it out." Shin said.

"Should be easy enough." Gohan said.

"You're wrong. It has been stuck in that stone for thousands of years." Shin said.

"How come you say we're always wrong, but it's you who ends up wrong?" Hawk asked. Shin didn't answer.

"Okay, let's get started." Gohan said. He floated up to the sword and landed in front of it. He cracked his fingers then gripped the sword. He began to pull on the sword and realized it wouldn't budge. He put more force into it, but still nothing. He increased to a Super Saiyan and pulled even harder. He heard the stone crack and pulled so hard he ascended to Super Saiyan 2. The sword suddenly came flying from the stone. Gohan smiled as he held it above his head. That's when he realized how heavy it was and fell backwards off the rock. Gohan landed head first as the sword stuck in the ground. Hawk busted out laughing. "Hey shut up! This thing is super heavy!" Gohan shouted.

"That was still freaking funny!" Hawk said through his laughter.

"Then why don't you try lifting it." Gohan challenged, getting back on his feet.

"Fine, I will." He walked over and gripped the sword. He began to pull, but it wouldn't budge. He pulled even harder but nothing. He didn't have any transformations, so he gave up.

"See, now who looks like an ass."

"Speaking of asses why don't you kiss mine?"

"Enough. It's time to start training." Shin said.

"Sure thing." Gohan said. He transformed into a Super Saiyan and picked up the sword. He began to wobble but gained his footing. "Hawk, once I get the hang of this will you teach me some moves?"

"Only if you're willing to call me Master." Hawk said.

"Never." Gohan said.

"Your loss. I have to go finish this book anyways." Hawk said pulling the book out of his back pocket. "Hey Shin, is there a lake around here?"

"Yes, just over that mountain." Shin said.

"Thanks." Hawk took off over the mountain, landed next to the lake. It was smaller than the one back home, but the water was clearer. He sat down next to the lake and began reading.

…

Back at the Lookout, Videl and Jess were training for the upcoming battle. Goku had told them they weren't strong enough to fight, but they didn't believe him. "So, are you going to tell me why you're dating him?" Videl asked.

"Because I like him." Jess answered.

"Why though?" Videl asked again.

"I have my reasons."

"Seriously, tell me."

Jess sighed. "Fine. Videl, I'm not strong like you, I need someone to protect me and Hawk needs someone to protect. And for some reason he understands everything about me." She told her.

"You don't need someone to protect you and what about me I understand you."

"Not like he does." She said. "Plus have you seen him without a shirt, talk about hot. He says Gohan looks even better than he does." She said poking at Videl.

"No way, Gohan's cute, but that's it. How can he be hot?" Videl said, blushing slightly.

"Then why did you kiss him?" Jess asked.

"Because he stood up to my father in order to save me." Videl said. "Plus, he's super nice and strong enough to fight with me."

"We do have a lot in common, we both want someone to protect us." Jess said. "It's kinda silly to need someone to protect the world's strongest women isn't?"

"Yeah, but I think it's what everyone needs deep down." Videl said.

…

The next day, Gohan was beginning to swing the sword much easier. Hawk had finished reading and began working on his form. The form was much more difficult than the others and he had a short attention span, so he went to go see Gohan. "Looks like you're getting the hang of it." Hawk said.

"Hey Hawk. Yeah, but this thing is still heavy." Gohan said, resting the sword on the ground.

"Gohan, there is no time to break. Keep going." Shin said.

"Fine." Gohan sighed. He picked up the sword and began swinging it again. "So did you finish your training?" Gohan asked.

"No, I got frustrated so I'm taking a break." Since they were talking they didn't notice when Goku appeared. Gohan accidently slashed Goku's shirt causing him to stagger backwards.

"Holy crap Dad!" Gohan shouted, thinking he slashed Goku.

"Looks like I need to be more careful." Goku said with his trademark grin.

"No, it was my fault. I wasn't paying attention." Gohan said.

"So how is the training going boys?" Goku asked, standing up.

"Well I'm starting to get the hang of it." Gohan said.

"I'm not. This book is hard." Hawk said, holding up the book.

"Hey, I didn't know you had that book." Goku said.

"Yeah, Piccolo gave it to me, why?" Hawk asked.

"Oh, Kami gave me a copy to help with my training. I'm not much of a reader though." Goku chuckled, earning a chuckle from Hawk. "So how far are you?" Goku asked.

"I'm on the last form." Hawk said.

"Really? That's impressive. I didn't get passed the second form."

"So, I guess I can't ask for pointers."

"Sorry."

"It's fine, but I need to get back to training." He flew away and began the form again.

"So, Dad, how did the Fusion Technique training go?" Gohan asked, swinging the sword.

"Good, the boys were really getting the hang of it when I left." Goku answered.

"Who's teaching them now?"

"Piccolo."

"He's a scary teacher." Gohan chuckled nervously. He loved Piccolo, but he was still scared to train with him.

Gohan continued his training with the sword and by the end of the day he could swing it with ease. Hawk on the other hand was still struggling with his form. "Putting my whole body into every movement is impossible." Hawk told himself, sweat dripping down hs face. "I'll go check on Gohan." He arrived just in time to watch Gohan break the sword on the universes hardest metal.

"NO!" Shin shouted.

"That's not good." Goku said.

"Well I could always use it as the Z-Dagger." Gohan suggested.

"Gohan this isn't funny! Now you can't defeat Majin Buu!" Shin shouted.

"Pipe down." Said a voice from behind. They looked to see an older Kai standing there. "I'd like to thank you for freeing me from that sword." The Elder Kai said.

"Who are you?" Shin asked.

"I'm a Supreme Kai, who else?" The Elder Kai said.

"Then where did you come from?" Shin asked in disblief.

"I love how he'll believe this guy but not anything we say." Hawk whispered earning a chuckle from Gohan and Goku.

"From inside the sword, didn't you hear me? Now which one of you broke the sword." Elder Kai asked.

"That would be me Sir." Gohan said.

"I see. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Well is there any way you can make me stronger?" Gohan joked.

Old Kai put his hand in front of Gohan's face. "Oh my. You have a lot of untapped potential." He told Gohan.

"Really, I was kinda kidding, but if you can do it I'd be very grateful."

"I have to warn you this ritual takes a very long time."

"Don't worry, we have time."

"Then let's begin."

Author's Note: The Elder Kai mentions he's a Supreme Kai. I'm going to go in depth about that in future chapters.
