SACRED WORLD OF KAI

Gohan was able to pull out the Z Sword. He's now trying to use the sword but is having a hard time because the sword is very heavy.

SHIN: So, how do you feel?

GOHAN: Not much change. I don't feel powerful enough, and this sword is quite heavy.

SHIN: Really?

GOHAN: Could this sword really defeat Majin Buu?

KIBITO: Of course, it can! The Z Sword is the most powerful sword in the holy sphere. You just don't know how to use it.

GOHAN: You're saying that because you don't know how heavy it is. Here, try it.

Gohan gives the sword to Kibito, but it was too heavy he wasn't able to carry it. The sword dropped on the ground.

KIBITO: (hiding embarrassment) It might be a little heavy... But you need to learn how to wield it if you want to use that to defeat Majin Buu!

GOHAN: I get it, you don't have to yell.


LOOKOUT

Videl is sitting on the stairs on the entrance of the palace. She is with Krillin and his wife Android 18 and daughter Marron, Bulma, Yamcha, Master Roshi, Oolong and Puar, Dende and Mr. Popo. Trunks, Goten, Piccolo and Goku are training inside the palace.

KRILLIN: How long do you think it will take for Goku to finish teaching the fusion technique?

YAMCHA: I don't know. Never heard of that technique so I can't assess. (looks at Bulma) Are you okay now?

BULMA: (sarcastic) Of course! Never been better.

YAMCHA: Hey! I'm just asking because we're concerned.

BULMA: Well, you should have been smart enough to think that losing a husband will not make you okay.

YAMCHA: Whatever! If you don't want us talking to you then we won't!

BULMA: Wow! Thanks for understanding.

KRILLIN: Now I know why you two did not end up together.

Videl was surprised at what she heard.

VIDEL: (to Krillin, whispering) So, these two has a past?

KRILLIN: (also whispering) Actually, we thought they'll end up together. But it turns out Bulma likes a more screwed guy in Vegeta.

BULMA: I heard what you said!

Krillin could only grimace.

The group's conversation was interrupted by another broadcast by Babidi.

BABIDI: Everyone! I found a big city.

Babidi and Majin Buu are once again floating above a certain city.

BABIDI: Buu wants to turn the people here into chocolates very badly. But if you could give me the three people I am searching, then I might spare this town for a while.

No one answer to Babidi.

BABIDI: Oh! So it seems no one wants to talk to me. Buu, you can have your lunch here, my boy!

Majin Buu turns all the people in the city into chocolates, then siphons them all into his mouth.

BABIDI: Now that you've eaten, take care of the mess.

Majin Buu blows up the city again.

BABIDI: Hmn... Where should we go next?

TRUNKS: Babidi! This is Trunks!

GOTEN: And I'm Goten!

BABIDI: Oooh! Finally! You showed up!

TRUNKS: Not now, but very soon. We're going to kill you.

BULMA: Trunks...

The telepathic communication ended.

KRILLIN: That creature is horrible!

Master Roshi, Krillin, Yamcha and even Android 18 and Videl all look at the room where the two young Saiyans train with Goku and Piccolo.

KRILLIN: I guess they're starting.

MASTER ROSHI: Those kis are incredible! At such a young age, they possess such high power.

KRILLIN: No wonder they are children of two powerful Saiyans.

VIDEL: Excuse me, but can you please tell me what that Saiyan thing is?

KRILLIN: Oh, so you don't know yet, huh?

Videl shakes her head.

KRILLIN: Well, you see, Saiyans came from this planet called Planet Vegeta. Goku was transported here on Earth as a baby and Vegeta got here more than ten years ago.

VIDEL: Planet? You mean to say they're... aliens?

KRILLIN: Exactly.

VIDEL: So, Gohan is...

KRILLIN: He's half Saiyan. Chi-Chi is an Earthling.

Videl is still trying to process everything when Babidi communicated again with them.

BABIDI: (voice over) People of the Earth! Someone has sent me a valuable information about the three Earthlings I'm looking for. They said they might be at the Capsule Corporation on West City.

BULMA: No way!

BABIDI: We're going there now, so I hope you're home!

The communication ended.

BULMA: If they blow up the city...

YAMCHA: Don't worry, Bulma. We'll revive your parents with the dragon balls.

BULMA: No! That's not it!

Bulma rushes to Goku.

KRILLIN: What is wrong with her?

After a few moments Trunks comes rushing out. Goten is behind him, but he does not follow when Trunks flew away. Bulma and Piccolo come after.

KRILLIN: What is happening?

BULMA: Trunks will get the radar, and Goku went to Babidi to distract him.

YAMCHA: Can't you make another radar, Bulma?

BULMA: I guess I could, but if all the cities will be blown up, I might have a difficulty collecting the materials needed. Besides, I created that radar a long time ago. I need the blueprints to recreate it again. If our house gets blown up, then I would lose them as well.

KRILLIN: I hope they make it in time.

PICCOLO: Goku will make sure they do.

Suddenly, Babidi communicates with the whole world again.

BABIDI: (voice over) Watch this, Earthlings! Close your eyes so you can witness how Buu will end this presumptuous being who thinks he can beat us.

Everyone in the Lookout closes their eyes to see what is happening in Babidi's location.

Goku is facing Majin Buu, while Babidi is watching nearby. Goku turns into Super Saiyan mode.

BABIDI: No use! Vegeta used that form as well, but as you know nothing happened.

GOKU: I figured. But this is not the only thing I could do. I could go higher, surpass the level beyond Super Saiyan.

BABIDI: I don't have an idea. Beyond the level that surpass Super Saiyan?

GOKU: Then, I'll show you.

Goku suddenly stops.

GOKU: What are you doing there just staring! Hurry up and get the radar!

BABIDI: Huh? Radar? What do you mean?

GOKU: Nothing. Don't mind that. It's not important.

BABIDI: It looks like you're plotting something. Whatever it is, it's pointless.

Goku transforms back to his normal form.

MAJIN BUU: Why did you change? I like you better in your last form.

GOKU: In order for me to explain the levels of Super Saiyan, we have to start from the beginning. First is my normal form.

Goku turns into a Super Saiyan.

GOKU: Then, this is Super Saiyan.

Goku powers up.

GOKU: This is the level beyond Super Saiyan. You can call this Super Saiyan 2.

BABIDI: That's just what you did earlier. What's the difference?

GOKU: The next I'm going to show you, is a stronger form.

KRILLIN: He's just bluffing, right? Nothing can be stronger than that.

GOKU: This...

Goku powers up, screaming and struggling for a few moments. It seems like the whole world in affected by his transformation as the ground starts trembling. Even the floor of the Lookout is trembling, considering that it is suspended on air. Until finally, he transforms again. This time, his hair is longer, his face fiercer.

GOKU: This is Super Saiyan 3.

Goku's power is so intense that even Gohan who is in the Sacred World of Kai felt it. He suddenly stops wielding the Z sword as he felt his father's immense power from Earth.

GOHAN: Is that... is that Dad's ki? No... It's... It's too powerful.

SHIN: It is Goku. Very powerful, but it's him.

KIBITO: I can't believe it! His power is so immense it can reach up to this holy sphere!

GOHAN: Dad... What in the world happened to you?

Shortly after transforming, Goku fights Majin Buu as the world watches. They seem to be at the same level, and their fighting sends turbulence to the world. The ground is shaking, the air is in turmoil. Until suddenly, Goku stops fighting and he transformed back to his normal form.

MAJIN BUU: Hey! Why did you change back? I want to fight more! It's fun!

GOKU: Thanks, but I can't stay for too long here. I'm sorry but I've got to leave.

BABIDI: You fool! Do you think you can just leave like that? Buu, kill him!

GOKU: Babidi, the three that you are looking for, they will be here in three, no, in two days. Don't do anything until that happens, okay?

MAJIN BUU: Are they strong?

BABIDI: Do you think I will even consider listening to you? Buu, kill him!

GOKU: Too bad. I just want Buu to enjoy an interesting fight. I will definitely ask a fitting punishment for you when you go to hell.

Goku uses instant transmission and leave. The telepathic broadcast also ended. He comes back at the Lookout but watches on the edge what is happening below. The others all go to him, except for Bulma and Videl.

VIDEL: He's incredible...

BULMA: Yeah... Too bad he can't stay to continue fighting Buu.

VIDEL: I remember Gohan telling me that he only came back for the tournament.

BULMA: Yes, for the tournament and to be with his family and friends... And then, this happened.

VIDEL: Can't you wish him back to life?

BULMA: We could, but he decided not to.

VIDEL: Why?

BULMA: He said he has this notion that he's the one causing all the bad things that had happened. That maybe if he stays away from Earth then it will be peaceful... Maybe he's right. He's only been here for a couple of hours but look at what has happened already.

VIDEL: I don't think so.

BULMA: Huh?

VIDEL: Maybe he's right. Every time he's here bad things happen, but it's because fate knows he's here to resolve everything.

Bulma looks at Videl, contemplating on what she said.

BULMA: Maybe you're right.

That moment, Trunks arrive at the Lookout.

TRUNKS: I did it! I've got the radar!

He shows the radar to everyone.

GOKU: Good job! Now, let's continue the training.

Goku and the two kids resume their training with Piccolo. The others waited outside the palace.

.

THIRTY MINUTES LATER...

Fortune Teller Baba arrives at the Lookout.

BABA: Where is Goku?

MASTER ROSHI: He's inside, training the boys.

BABA: It's time for him to go.

Everyone is surprised at what Baba said.

KRILLIN: But isn't he here for a day?

BABA: It depends on his energy level. Since he used a lot during his fight with Majin Buu, he lost most of his time.

YAMCHA: That is so unfair...

BABA: It might be but it's the rules. I can't do anything about it.

KRILLIN: Oh well... We'll take you to him.

Everyone goes to the training room. As they approach, they can see what Goten and Trunks are doing.

KRILLIN: I thought they're learning a new technique. Why does it seem like they're dancing?

BABA: Goku!

GOKU: (turns around) Huh?

BABA: It's time to go.

GOKU: ... Is it?

Baba nods.

GOKU: Okay, then... (looks at Piccolo) Piccolo, you have to take over from here. Make sure the boys get the Fusion perfectly tomorrow.

PICCOLO: Okay.

Everyone goes out again. Goku says his goodbye to the others, except for Goten, Chi-Chi and the Ox King who at that moment are still inside.

KRILLIN: It's too bad that this has to happen on your only day here on Earth.

GOKU: Oh, we've had worst! I'm kind of used to that.

Goku does his signature laugh.

BULMA: Really, Goku? You haven't changed a bit.

YAMCHA: I don't know if this is right, but have a nice life out there, Goku.

GOKU: I will.

KRILLIN: Where is Goten, by the way?

TRUNKS: He went to get his mom; said she needs to see his dad before he leaves.

Goku smiles at what he heard.

BABA: They better hurry up because time is running out.

GOKU: Oh, Baba! Give me a few more minutes, will you?

Chi-Chi suddenly comes out running with Goten. The Ox King is behind them.

CHI-CHI: Goku!

Chi-Chi rushes to Goku, holding him tightly. Tears are already flowing down her cheeks as she hugs him.

CHI-CHI: Why do you have to go? Why can't you stay?

GOKU: I can't...

CHI-CHI: Gohan has left me, too...

GOKU: You still have Goten.

CHI-CHI: But what if Buu kills him, too?

GOKU: The technique that I taught him is powerful enough to beat Buu. You just have to believe in him. He's strong. He's our son.

Goku holds Chi-Chi's face as he smiles at her. He wipes away her tears as she tries to stop from crying.

GOKU: I'll go find Gohan in the afterlife.

VIDEL: I'm not sure about that!

Goku looks at Videl.

GOKU: Huh?

VIDEL: Call me crazy, but I think... I think he's not yet dead.

GOKU: How can you say that?

VIDEL: I don't know. I just... I just feel it.

KRILLIN: Oh, young love… So pure and innocent.

GOKU: I hope you're right.

Goku smiles at Videl, and the latter feels glad.

VIDEL: Thank you.

BABA: Goku, it's time.

GOTEN: Uh...

GOKU: Huh? What is it, Goten?

Goten shyly looks down. It seems like he's also about to cry. Chi-Chi realizes what the little tot wants.

CHI-CHI: Goten, you want a final hug with your dad, don't you?

GOKU: Uh! Is that so? Come here, Goten.

Goku picks up Goten and raises him up to the air. The little boy starts to cry.

GOKU: Why didn't you say so?

Goku hugs Goten, who ends up crying on his father's chest. Chi-Chi cries as well, seeing her husband and son together for the last time.

GOKU: Goten, be a good boy and take care of your mom, okay? Be a strong man.

Goten nods while still crying on Goku's chest.

BABA: Goku...

As hard as it can be, Goku has to put down Goten. He obviously feels sad, but he flashes his signature wide smile to them.

GOKU: Goodbye, guys!

He flies up with Baba.

GOKU: I'll see you again when you die!

And then he's gone.

KRILLIN: Trust Goku to say the most awkward things.

Everyone takes a moment to recover from that. Then Piccolo tells the two kids to continue their training.

PICCOLO: Alright, Trunks and Goten. Let's continue your training.

GOTEN AND TRUNKS: Yes, Sir!

The three of them go to the training room.

KRILLIN: I've never seen those two being so obedient.

CHI-CHI: I hope Goku is right.

BULMA: He will be, Chi-Chi. He will be.

The two mothers look and smile at each other.

Videl looks at the two women.

VIDEL: (on her mind) The things they have to endure. First, their husbands. Now, their kids.

She looks at the sky behind her.

VIDEL: (on her mind) Gohan... please come back soon.


SACRED WORLD OF KAI

A few more practice and Gohan was able to wield the Z Sword properly. He is now training how to use it in fighting.

SHIN: Gohan was able to master wielding the Z Sword in a short span of time. He's not only powerful, he's also smart.

KIBITO: I must admit, he has surpassed my expectations.

SHIN: I think we really has a chance in defeating Majin Buu.

Suddenly, Goku appears.

GOKU: Gohan?

The Supreme Kai and Kibito were shocked at seeing Goku. Gohan was surprised as well.

GOKU: Dad?

Goku comes closer to Gohan.

GOKU: Why are you dressed like that?

SHIN: Goku!

GOKU: Hey, Supreme Kai! Uh? Kibito was brought back as well.

KIBITO: (to himself) I can't believe it! There's another human on the holy sphere.

The Supreme Kai and Kibito come closer as well.

GOHAN: What are you doing here, Dad? You still have a few more hours to stay on Earth.

GOKU: Well, since I used a lot of energy, I had to get back earlier than I should.

GOHAN: I see...

GOKU: What is that sword you're holding?

GOHAN: Oh this? It's the Z Sword. They said if I learned how to properly wield it then it will give me immense power, making me defeat Buu.

GOKU: Really? Can I see it?

GOHAN: Sure.

Gohan gives Goku the sword.

GOKU: Whoa! This is really heavy.

Goku starts to wield the sword, at the shock of the Supreme Kai and Kibito.

KIBITO: He also can wield the sword! What are these creatures?

GOKU: Supreme Kai, can I stay here until Gohan fights Buu?

SHIN: Sure.

GOKU: And... do you have something to eat? I know you can prepare a great feast, just like King Kai.

SHIN: Uh... sure. I think I could pull off something.

KIBITO: These humans... don't they have any manners?

SHIN: Gohan, do you want to take a break? Let's go have something to eat.

GOKU: Alright!

After eating, Gohan continues to train. Goku watches him, and after hours of watching he is starting to get bored.

GOKU: (yawning) You've gotten pretty good with that thing in just a day.

SHIN: You're incredible.

Gohan laughs shyly.

GOKU: (stands up) Say, why don't we test what you've learned so far?

GOHAN: Huh?

Goku goes to Gohan.

GOKU: Let's fight.

GOHAN: Dad... Are you serious?

GOKU: I'm getting bored, so might as well train with you.

Goku goes into fighting position.

GOKU: And test how powerful that sword really is.

Gohan smiles, liking the idea of sparring with his dad, with the sword, of course. He holds the sword ready to attack Goku.

GOHAN: Ready, Dad?

GOKU: As you'll ever be.

Gohan attacks Goku. The older Saiyan dodges while the son continuously attacks. The Supreme Kai and Kibito just watch on the side, amazed at what they are witnessing.

SHIN: They are so fast! I can't almost see them!

KIBITO: I still can't believe these humans were able to ascend to this place, then train as if this is one of their sparring dojo.

SHIN: Kibito, when the universe is at stake, there is no god or human. There is just those who wants to sacrifice themselves in saving the entire universe. And these two are just that type. I can actually say... they are not only more powerful, but they have better values than most divinity I know.

Gohan continuously attack, and Goku continuously counters. Until Goku came to a big boulder. With his strength he pulls it off the ground.

KIBITO: Huh! What is he planning?

Goku throws the boulder to Gohan. The Z Sword slices the rock like it's a thin piece of paper.

GOKU: Amazing! That sword is really sharp.

GOHAN: (smiles confidently) And that felt amazing as well.

The two stops sparring. Goku comes closer to Gohan, looking at the sword.

GOHAN: So, what do you think, Dad?

GOKU: I don't know. I still don't feel like that could defeat Majin Buu.

KIBITO: What are you talking about? That sword is the mightiest weapon in the divine realm. It certainly can defeat anyone including that Majin Buu.

GOKU: Well, if you say so.

SHIN: Maybe we need a more concrete demonstration.

The Supreme Kai produces a big black block, almost the same size as the big boulder that Goku threw a while ago.

SHIN: Throw this to him, Goku.

Goku catches the block.

GOKU: What is this?

SHIN: That is Kattine Steel. It's the hardest mineral in the universe. We should at least test the sword with that.

GOKU: It really feels that hard. Okay... Gohan, are you ready?

GOHAN: Okay.

GOKU: Here it goes!

Goku throws the stone at Gohan. The latter anticipates the stone, wielding the sword onto the block. Unfortunately and unexpectedly, the stone didn't break. It was the sword that broke down to two.

Everyone was shocked at the result. The Supreme Kai and Kibito are the most terrified.

GOHAN: Was it supposed to go like that?

SHIN: You... You broke the legendary Z Sword!

KIBITO: It's the mightiest weapon in the entire divine realm...

GOKU: I don't know! You told me to throw it at Gohan. I just did what you said.

GOHAN: (puts down the handle) Maybe, the legend is true after all. I feel a lot stronger. Maybe it's because it was so heavy and that's how it could make you the strongest in the universe.

SHIN: You're right! If you feel stronger in your normal form, how much more if you turn into Super Saiyan? Yes, maybe that's the secret to gain the ultimate strength.

GOKU: But, I feel like he's still not stronger than Buu.

OLD MAN: Fools! That's not how it is!

All of them looks at the old man who suddenly appears out of nowhere. He is dressed like Supreme Kai and Kibito.

GOKU: Who's that old man?

OLD MAN: I am the Supreme Kai, from fifteen generations ago.

The Supreme Kai and Kibito are both shocked.

SHIN: You're the great ancestor!

OLD MAN: I am.

Goku and Gohan look at the man curiously.


A/N: You might think my way of telling this story is weird but remember that this fanfiction is about Videl and Gohan, so everything that happens is on their perspective. You might not be seeing some scenes or dialogues but that's just because it's focused on those two main characters. I might do another version where I cover all the scenes but that would mean redoing the entire DB. So I guess that will be quite impossible at the moment.

Another change I did for this chapter is the farewell scene for Goku. In the anime and manga, Goten is already outside with the others. I want it to be like he was kind of worried about his dad going away so he rushed to his mother and called her. And also, who would have informed Chi-Chi that Goku is leaving?

Another change is the part where Goku went to Gohan. I did a little sparring session with the two. I just felt like since Goku is there why not help in Gohan's training?
