Awakened at Last

What if Gohan finally lost it when he sees Trunks getting hit by 18's blast, and ascended to the strength he is entitled to? Saving the World from android is done, what about the rest of the troubles? Cell? Bojack? Broly? Majin Buu? Beerus? Frieza? Together, the two brothers push forward, gaining the help and respect from an old foe. Alternate Universe.

Chapter 1: A Saiyan's Strength

"Gah!" Gohan coughed blood and spit out as Seventeen drove his fist into the demi-saiyan's abdomen, pushing it to the other end, sending him crashing through the rollercoaster rails, but he wasn't going down that easily, shifting his weight to his lower body, he stopped on a pillar before using the momentum to shoot back at the dark haired android.

"Man..you don't know when to back off, do you moron?" Eighteen engaged him along with Seventeen.

"Don't bother sis, I guess we have to put him down for good." Seventeen grinned as he utilized his full power into the fight. Surprisingly, Gohan was rather stronger for the androids than the usual. Suddenly Eighteen left the fight, surprising her brother as a solid Super Saiyan punch landed on his face, damaging the synthetic part bio skin and bending his face a little to the inside.

"You know kid, you should runaway." Now it was Gohan's turn to get shocked, Eighteen's vivacious voice was not speaking to him, but to his little pupil.

"No Trunkgahaaagg..." Seventeen returned the favor by kicking the demi-saiyan's side, effectively crushing a few ribs.

"Ha thought you could manhandle me and walk off easily. I'm gonna kill you ya son of a bitch!" Seventeen didn't give time for Earth's last hope as he pounded the demi-saiyan into the ground. Each fist that connected Gohan's body send tremors through the destroyed amusement park. The only thing keeping him alive was his Super Saiyan form, which was failing to be able to contain the android's fist and out of the corner of his eye he saw Trunks fighting the she devil and even from his spot and lack of proper visual he knew that his pupil was getting played with. "Watch here you little bitch! You got more here than what's coming for your little runt..oh I know, why don't you look?"

Pulling him out of the small crater Seventeen placed the hero in a headlock, chocking him slowly as he showed his sister brutally assaulting Trunks. 'Trunks..hold up buddy..don't die..' That's when it happened, a slight calculation error from the blonde that allowed the little lavender haired man to take full advantage on as he shoved his knee into her abdomen causing Eighteen to gasp in pain.

Trunks's victory was short lived as Eighteen gave him a slap to his face, creating a shock wave before grabbing him by his collar and holding him up. "You little twerp.." 'Dammit..you just had to kick me in front of my brother..' Eighteen, although didn't show anything but anger at the boy in her arms, who was struggling pathetically, she was having an inner battle inside. If she let this boy live, her brother would stop trusting her, and she may look weak, but if she kill him, her woman side would never forgive her, it was her brother who always killed the children, while she specifically avoided them and sought out adults..

Gohan watched with horrified eyes as energy began to circulate around the female android's free hand. 'No..'

'I think I will make it look like I'm going to kill you..but this will probably cripple you for sometime, and if your little boss over there will live through, he will take you..or some passer by..' Eighteen after feeling the power in her other hand was enough, threw Trunks down from the rollercoaster rail and fired the blast, covering the little body completely, eliciting a scream of pain before it went down.

"No.."

"Let it go Gohan..you have to let it go..you have the power.." His late mentor's voice resounded in his ears, muting Seventeen's laughter, the same words, that Piccolo spoke when he took his dying breath on his lap, the same words that made him a Super Saiyan, and the same words that were going to ascend him to the next level.

"So Mr. Wise guy, you wanna join him now or join him later?" His pupil, no, his little brother was gone, someone he promised to protect with his life, someone he wanted to live in a future without being afraid of terror, to start a family of his own, a wife, few children. Now Trunks wasn't going to get all those. Why?

"You are pathetic brat, can't even protect my son, someone who's entire world was around you..is this the word of a Saiyan?" Vegeta's voice rang in his mind as Seventeen tightened his hold slowly. He remembered the day when Vegeta left, asking him to protect his son, the day that took his life, he never came back.

"I believe in you Gohan!" The childish voice of a grinning five year old lavender haired boy with a Capsule Corp cap holding an action figure stood in front of his kneeling form, holding his tiny hand out, reaching for him, painfully, Gohan reached out too, ignoring the lack of air from Seventeen's hold, but right before his hand could grab little Trunks, the child's body began to disintegrate with the air as he turned into dust, the smile never leaving his face. That was the last straw.

Something snapped inside Gohan. "He's gone.." His voice was ghastly. Tears slid down his face, his teeth clenched, and grinding. His limp arms slowly tightened into fists, his golden aura began to come back alive, now more vibrant than his normal Super Saiyan aura. Lightning crackled around him as the rocks and debris around the two started to rise.

"What are you doing idiot? You know you can't-"

"You killed him!" Gohan cut him off as he stood up and stretched his hand, the power roaring to life, sending the raven haired android away to a building. Gohan's golden aura roared with lightning crackling around him. "Rargh!" His muscles expanded before contracting, his hair started to grow straight up, leaving a single lock to fall down to his face. Gohan opened his teal eyes and knew immediately of the vast reservoir of ki radiating from him.

"Oh so blonde changed his hair style!" As oblivious as his usual arrogant self, Seventeen mocked. But Eighteen knew something wasn't right and wanted to warn her brother but he was already on the move. "Lookie lookie!" Seventeen brought down his foot on Gohan's head, completely getting caught off guard by the zero result as the demi-saiyan's head did not budge, not even the slightest bit. "What the.."

No words came from the demi-saiyan as he caught ahold of the android's foot and tossed him to a pile of debris. The power that ran through him was incredible, but too broken was he to give in to the pleasure of this new power. "Piccolo..Dad..Trunks..NOOO!" His cry turned into a roar as golden light came in the form of flames around the demi-saiyan.

"You bastard! You think I am some sort of trash to be thrown around!" Gohan didn't care about the male android, he wanted the blood of his sister. And that was the reason he failed to notice or feel the punches and kicks that seemingly had zero effect on him that Seventeen reigned upon him. "What the hell are you!" His fist was caught in mid way and his mind froze in fear at the sight of the demi-saiyan turning his head to face him.

"Die.." Without another word, Gohan brutally ripped of the appendage and placed his foot through Seventeen's chest before swinging his leg up, sending the android into the sky. Eighteen was already frozen in fear. This was bad. Where did he get all this power? Her complexion drained as she saw him looking at her before raising an open palm vertically upward and sending a minor blast that showcased more power than she has ever seen, completely obliterating her brother. Next up was her.

Eighteen knew fleeing would be a waste, but she was not going to stand there and receive the punishment from the demi-saiyan and it seems her last act of kindness got to the gods in time as the Super being heard weakened coughs amidst the wreckage in front of him and immediately rushed there instead of following her.

'Please. Please. Please! Just be a little alive Trunks!' Then he felt it. It was very weak, almost gone, but still there. Rushing to the debris, he hastily threw it aside, digging fast, until a hand was uncovered that was attached to the body which lay buried amidst the rails and wooden planks. He grabbed on to it before pulling the lavender Saiyan out of it. "God dammit!" He placed the boy on the floor and hastily grabbed the pouch which got ripped in his new strength and caused the only bean to fall, but he was fast enough to catch it.

Kneeling down, he lifted Trunks into his lap before pushing down the life elixir into his mouth. "Chew Trunks! Please Chew it and swallow!" No response came immediately, but after a few seconds, somewhere in his mind, Trunks heard Gohan's voice and began to chew the bean. "Hehe..atta boy Trunks.." The energy instantly drained from the Super Saiyan and he fainted down as the power depleted and his injuries and exhaustion caught up.
