Summary: What if Goku had been more involved in training Gohan at an early age? This story starts at the beginning of dbz.

Chapter 55

Gohan charged at Yondar and threw a punch hard at his face. The evil tyrant managed to raise his arm up and block the force of the blow bare seconds before any damage could be done. The emperor retaliated with a punch of his own to Gohan's stomach but the young demi-Saiyan fazed out of sight leaving only thin air to be hit by the blow.

Gohan came in with a round house kick to the tyrant's head but Yondar was too fast to be fooled that easily. He fazed out of sight a split second ahead of Gohan's attack and caught the Saiyan by surprise appearing right below him. Never wasting a second, Yondar drove his fist up into Gohan's stomach doubling the Saiyan over but not doing much damage. Yondar took advantage of Gohan's momentary distraction and pummeled him with a flurry of kicks and punches.

Gohan recovered quickly and began blocking the blows as they came at him. Broly had been right this guy was stronger than him. At the moment Gohan still had a slight power advantage in this fight but he didn't know how long that would last being maxed out and all. At least I have pretty good control now, he thought. I can keep this up for awhile. Hopefully he'll tire out too.

Gohan was brought out of his thoughts as Yondar's face connected to his face and sent him flying back into a mountain. Flaring his aura, Gohan crumbled the rubble and shot out at Yondar at amazing speed. The young demi-Saiyan flew at the evil one readying a punch for his face, but fazed out of sight at the last possible second.

Yondar had been prepared to block the frontal assault that he'd anticipated from Gohan but was completely caught off guard when Gohan drove his elbow into the back of the tyrant's neck with tremendous force.

Before Yondar could even begin to react, Gohan used Instant Transmission and was in front of the monster pummeling him with blow after blow. Finally the young demi-Saiyan brought both fists down on the ruler hard and sent him flying toward the ground where he impacted with planet shaking force. Gohan didn't let up then and began to fire blast after blast into the hole trying to do further damage to the evil one.

A few seconds later an outline of a figure could be seen in the clearing smoke. As the dust dissipated Yondar appeared. His clothes were torn and he was battered and bruised but still not in terrible shape. "I must admit, I am impressed. Not even Broly can cause that much damage to me. I haven't taken that much of a beating since I served under Frieza."

"Why don't you just give up?" Gohan said. "I'm stronger than you and you know it."

"I am far from beaten," Yondar said as he fazed out of sight and appeared behind Gohan and threw a punch at the demi-Saiyan's back. Gohan blocked the blow and turned to retaliate with a knee to Yondar's stomach but the evil tyrant blocked the blow and threw a few more of his own.

This guy's good, Gohan thought as he continued in the current stalemate of kicks, punches, and blocks. He's already almost completely gotten my fighting style down. He must have also been watching the fight with Broly somehow. Gohan was brought out of his thoughts as Yondar's fist connected with his face full force sending him flying back.

Yondar never wasted an instant and fazed behind Gohan and brought his elbow down hard into the small of the Saiyan's back. Before Gohan could recover, the tyrant pushed his head down into his knee hard bloodying the boy's face and then threw him to the ground with tremendous force.

Gohan got shakily to his feet and wiped some blood from his now broken nose. Before he could go and rejoin the fight he heard Yondar's voice. "Royal Crusher."

Gohan looked up to see a massive ball of ki heading in his direction. That's not good, he thought. Thinking quickly he cupped his hands at his side and quickly gathered energy. "Spiral Kamehameha," he shouted as he sent his spinning beam of energy at the other attack. The Kamehameha collided with the Crusher tearing through it and sending small blasts in every direction. While the Royal Crusher was completely obliterated by the collision, the Spiral Kamehameha continued without even having its course altered in the slightest.

Yondar's eyes widened as he saw the attack heading his way. There was no way he could block an attack of that kind with the power he had. The boy is more talented than I thought, he told himself as he raised two fingers to his forehead and used Instant Transmission to avoid the blast.

The evil one appeared right behind Gohan but the boy was ready and delivered a kick right to his kidneys as he appeared. Wasting no time, the boy brought his other foot around catching the emperor right in the side of the head. The Saiyan began to mercilessly deliver blow after blow to the evil tyrant before Yondar could even begin to put up any kind of defense.

Broly watched as Gohan pummeled his master with blow after blow. He was impressed with the amount of control the boy had gained over his full power in just the last couple of days. He knew that at the level they were fighting at that if he'd jumped in on either side it could be a deciding factor. But he'd promised Gohan that he would stay out of the fight and he kept his word. Besides if his master needed help he would command it. Broly had never personally seen his master use more power than this but there were rumors that his power ran much deeper. But no one had ever seen Yondar's full power and lived to tell about it. It was this fear of Yondar's possible power that kept Broly in line. If the Legendary warrior truly believed that this was all his master had, he'd have challenged him by now. But he knew that he wasn't a threat to him at least not yet, because like Frieza, Yondar would have removed any threat to his power that he perceived long before it became powerful enough to really be much of a threat. The older Saiyan shook his head. "Poor boy doesn't even know that he doesn't stand a chance. H doesn't realize that Yondar is just playing with him."

Back in the battle Gohan continued to press his advantage. At this point Yondar was blocking most of the hits, but Gohan clearly had an advantage. He was on the offensive and had no intention of letting up. It was all Yondar could do just to stay ahead of most of the attacks.

A split second later, Gohan's fist shot through Yondar's defenses and landed right in the evil one's stomach, doubling him over in pain. Blood shot from Yondar's mouth as Gohan sent another fist into his face hard. The force of the blow sent the alien flying where he landed hard against a nearby cliff face.

Yondar slowly got to his feet and wiped some blood off his mouth. "Not bad, kid," he said. "But I'm through playing around."

"It doesn't look like you were playing," Gohan retorted. "It looked like you were getting your ass kicked."

"That's it," Yondar yelled starting to get upset. "I will show you my true power." With that Yondar began to scream as he was enveloped in a crimson aura.

Gohan stared in shock as he felt the evil being's power rising. It was already greater than anything he'd ever felt and still rising. Energy crackled around Yondar's body as lightning bolts stuck from all the static electricity in the air. With a flash of light that blinded both Broly and Gohan, Yondar's power leveled off. When the two warriors recovered their eyesight, Gohan noticed that Yondar had gone through some physical changes as well. Where his hair had been pitch black before; it was now streaked with red, matching his glowing red eyes. The tattoos that streaked up and down his arms and probably all over his body under his gi had also gone from a black to the same red color as his eyes. His muscle mass had increased slightly but most noticeable to Gohan and Broly was the amount his power had gone up.

Yondar instantly fazed out of sight and appeared behind Gohan and drove his elbow into the back of the demi-Saiyan's head sending the boy sprawling. Using superior speed, the emperor was in front of the boy in an instant seeming to appear out of nowhere. Grabbing the boy's head, Yondar brought his knee up into Gohan's face smashing his face in with his knee.

"Is that all you've got?" Yondar asked now gloating.

Gohan struggled but finally got to his feet. "I'm not finished yet," he said as he wiped some blood from his mouth. With that the boy charged at the emperor with a fist aimed at his face.

Yondar simply leaned to the right and watched as Gohan's fist passed though thin air. Quickly he brought his fist forward and buried it in Gohan's stomach doubling the boy over in pain once again.

Broly stared in amazement. So this is Yondar's full power. It is amazing but not that much more than my own. It will only be a matter of time before I've out lived my usefulness.

Back on the battle field, Yondar continued to beat Gohan mercilessly as the boy did his best to defend himself but really never stood much of a chance against the stronger warrior. Gohan threw a round-house kick at the tyrant but Yondar caught the blow with ease and swung the boy around his head before slamming him into the ground hard.

Gohan spit blood as he continued to be tossed around by Yondar. I need more power than this, he thought. There's no way I can beat him with the power I've got. Finally Yondar let go of the boy and sent him flying through the air toward a nearby cliff face. I've only got one possible idea, Gohan thought. "Super Kaioken," he shouted as his power instantly rose and his aura was a mix between gold and red. Gohan felt like his body would explode with the extra power he was forcing through it. Luckily he'd worked so much on control of Super Saiyan 2, otherwise his body would be shreds by now. As it was he couldn't keep this up for long. Gohan instantly stopped his momentum and raised two fingers to his forehead and teleported behind Yondar and drove a fist into his back catching him by surprise and sending him flying forward.

Yondar quickly stopped his momentum surprised that the boy was actually able to hit him. But fortunately the little demi-Saiyan still didn't have enough power to hurt him. Yondar chuckled as he turned to face Gohan. The boy had a raging gold and red aura around him but it was clear he couldn't hold that for long. In an instant Yondar charged at the boy and buried his fist in Gohan's stomach hard.

Gohan spat a bit more blood as his aura faded and the extra power of the Kaioken faded with it. As a testament to his control, Gohan still managed to stay in his Super Saiyan 2 transformation as Yondar continued to pummel the boy like crazy with kicks and punches before tossing him lazily to the side.

Gohan landed hard but was back on his feet in a few seconds. He was bruised and battered and several of his bones felt like they were fractured but he wasn't about to give up. The Super Kaioken had been a bad idea. It took too much out of him and didn't even faze Yondar a bit. Despite all this Gohan grinned. "You're finished," he said.

"What makes you think that, boy?" Yondar replied. "You can barely stand."

"I'll show you but it may take a minute so be patient."

"Very well," Yondar said intrigued.

With that Gohan flared his aura around him and began to power up. Within seconds his power had shot back up to his Super Saiyan 2 max. But he didn't stop there. He kept pouring more power into his body.

Yondar began to back away from the boy. "He's going to blow himself up," he said to himself readying himself to teleport away if that proved true.

Gohan continued to increase his power higher and higher. He'd felt this power deep inside him for the past week or so. He just wasn't sure he could bring it out without destroying his body. He still wasn't sure but he had to try. It was his only hope. If he could do this, he knew the results would be far greater than even the Super Kaioken was. Gohan began to scream as his body hurt from all the power that he was pushing into it. The ground around him collapsed into a crater as the wind picked up, lightning struck, and thunder boomed from the sheer magnitude of Gohan's power. The entire planet began to shake in fear of the boy's power. Suddenly, his muscles bulged a little adjusting to the power and his eyebrows disappeared and his hair began to grow. It grew down his back to his knees before it stopped. Gohan now stood before Yondar and laughed. "Now experience the power of a Super Saiyan 3." With that Gohan fell to his knees, his hair going to its normal length and turning black. The power had just been too much for his body to handle. Gohan just stayed there on his hands and knees. His body was trashed. He couldn't even move. There was no way that he could even begin to defend himself against Yondar.

"That was impressive," Yondar said. "But it proves that you have too much potential to let live. All Saiyans do. I'll just finish you now."

"No," Broly said stepping forward. "I'll stop you."

"Don't do this Broly," Yondar said. "You're throwing your life away. I've been good to you."

"You've used me just like my father did and you'll dispose of me anyway. You just said all Saiyans have too much potential to let them live. I'm at least going to go down fighting."

"Very well," Yondar replied. "It's not like you can stop me anyway."
