Chapter 1: The Power of The Saiyan Hybrid

---

"Eeeeeeeeee!"

Gohan heard the scream and remembered about the blue haired scientist. Flying at speeds no human should ever be privy to, the Demi-Saiyan dove as fast as he could to catch her before she fell to her death on the rugged terrain of Namek.

And then the child caught the adult. In the wake of his heroic efforts, she opted to give him a piece of her mind.

"Do you know how terrified I was kid?!"

Gohan cringed at the screeching voice in such close proximity to his sensitive ears. Maybe he should let go- scratch that he's the son of Goku. It's against the laws of the universe for him to callously commit such a cruel act.

"I'm sorry okay? I was just worried about dad," the hybrid began, eyes narrowing in concentration. The levels of power he could feel emanating on the other side of the planet were mindbogglingly extreme. And yet, one power remained constant while the other happened to be...dropping? Somehow Frieza became stronger than him?!

But his father was the Super Saiyan!

The child was certain that his dad would defeat Frieza once and for all. The piercing teal eyes of the Saiyan said it all, the vile cretin was done for. Death. Evisceration.

Justice.

"Gohan! The ships right there, don't fly by it!"

The scientist snapped the hybrid out of his muse, gesturing toward an area 29 degrees north west with her thumb. And there it was, slightly ruffled by the devastation of Namek but in operable condition nonetheless.

The Saiyan quickly landed with Bulma in tow, quickly opening the door to enter. Now all the two had to do was close the hatch, ignite the engines, and get the hell off of Namek- Piccolo's corpse?

The scientist immediately freaked out, jumping behind the five year old with an exasperated shriek.

"P-Piccolo? What is he on the ship with us for?!"

The kid sighed.

"Bulma, Piccolo isn't a bad guy, remember? He's on our side. Without him we'd all be dead."

This did little to assuage Bulma's fears however, as she promptly continued to attempt to persuade Gohan into abandoning her former enemy on a doomed planet. "Well, y'know, this is Piccolo's home so umm...h-he probably wants to stay here."

Gohan slightly glared at her, conveying the fact that they would not be leaving Piccolo behind. His decision was final and unwavering. No debate. Undisputed.

The scientist sighed and went to the control deck in order to initiate Plan A: get the hell off of Namek.

And then it hit him. The fight! The Super Saiyan of Legend VS The Emperor of the Universe.

The coldness of his father's missing Ki-

And then the planet quaking with a fury only matched by the emotional spectrum of the Super Saiyan himself.

The ferocity of Namek paled in comparison to the overwhelming sense of dread that threatened to overtake his being. His father, had died for the second time. Killed in action by the one responsible for the destruction of his race. Killed by the person whom coerced Vegeta into becoming who he was. Killed by the emperor of this Cold Cold World.

And once again, his mental was interrupted by panic.

"Gohan, we need to get out of here! NOW!" exclaimed a distraught Bulma, finding it impossible to maintain her own equilibrium.

The son of Goku sighed profoundly, completely aware of the inevitable but still more pressed about the fateful bout that is presumably over.

'Dad, what would you do in this situation?'

And then it hit him.

He was the last Saiyan left in the universe. No matter where he went, Frieza would eventually hunt him down. Everything he ever loved or cared about was in danger simply because of his existence. There was only one thing he possibly could do. Prevent all nightmares from coming full circle, right here, right now.

Better to lose himself than lose everyone.

Gohan trotted to the exit of the ship itself, grasping the edges of the door, and turned his head to meet Bulma's eyes. With that, he formed an almost somber smile in the wake of a devastating circumstance.

"I'm going back to help finish what my dad started," claimed the toddler, shifting his body to face the horizon, hair flowing with the ridiculous gusts of Namek.

The teal haired scientist felt confused on what he was talking about until she deciphered the unspoken message.

"Wait, you're not implying that Goku's dead, are you?"

The kid with the universe on his shoulders couldn't find the words to respond, instead opting to nod his head slowly.

Bulma collapsed to the ground in shock and grief with tears beginning to form in her eyes. Nothing about their venture went according to plan, and everyone she cared about happened to be dropping like flies. It was a Cold World, and there was nothing any of them could do about it.

"I have to go now. Sayonara," Gohan stated resolutely after a few moments, releasing his grip of the wall and bursting toward the Ki signature of Frieza at top speed.

"The sky is darkening."

Frieza muttered to himself, taking in the black skies with his red eyes. It wouldn't be too much longer before Namek exploded. In that case, now was the time to leave. The tyrant diverted his eyes back onto the area Goku was, his smirk reappearing. "If anything, you did fulfill the legend," the red-eyed alien began, chuckling before continuing, "only to become nothing more than a squashed bug like the rest of your simian kind, of course." Chuckling once more, Frieza diverted his red eyes off the area Goku was in, whirling around and moving to take off; however, upon seeing what looked like someone approaching him, he halted.

'Wait a minute.'

Frieza's red eyes darted back and forth between the one approaching him and the area where Goku was supposed to be. Did he not kill him? Frieza shook his head after mulling it over for a few seconds. No, he knew for certain he killed him. Not only that, but he has been watching the area he sent Goku in for just about the entire time now, and had yet to see anything move or anyone emerge. If that was the case, then who was it that was approaching him? Frieza squinted momentarily once they were within range of him, and, upon realizing who it was, his eyes widened. It was the juvenile Saiyan from earlier that turned out to be another pain in his side.

Frieza smirked once he halted before him.

"Ah, and here I thought I was going to have to seek you out myself," Frieza continued, relaxing now that he knew that Goku was still down for the count. "How kind of you to save me trouble."

That light came in the form of the so-called last person with Saiyan blood alive in the universe, Son Gohan. The armor clad five year-old stopped in front of him, still moping a bit from his fathers apparent death, his eyes brimming with liquid.

The hybrid halted and the leader of the PTO looked at him with anticipation and a glint of amusement within his irises. "So you've come back for more simian?" Inquired a bemused Frieza, having already known the answer to his own question.

Gohan replied hesitantly, a voice in his mind constantly telling him to flee from the devil known as Frieza. "Did you kill my dad?" Mustered up a petrified Gohan as he backtracked subtly from Frieza.

"Oh you mean that 'Super Simian Bastard'. Oh yes, he's been slain by my hands, brat. As a matter of fact, he's being turned into Super Saiyan soup by the lava as we speak," The Frost Demon taunted. "And just what do you reckon to do about it?"

Gohan swallowed nervously, reminding himself that his father would do the same thing he was doing in a situation like this. Besides, now that he was here, he couldn't just go back without getting done what he intended to do; that'd be like going back empty-handed. Something of which he couldn't do. "It's not over yet, Frieza. You forget I'm still part Saiyan too!"

Despite the fact that he may have appeared cool and collected on the outside, Gohan could hear the shakiness in his own voice. And if he could hear it, he was pretty sure Frieza could hear it as well.

'Come on, Gohan. Just stall him for a few minutes, that's all!'

"Not over yet?" Frieza repeated, throwing his head back and laughing in utter amusement. "Just what can you do against me? And don't fret, I recognize that you're still part of that simian kind, and for that you shall be eradicated." Frieza inquired once he recovered, smirking as he took in his supposed opponent.

"Though," the tyrant continued, "I suppose I can humor you. After all, I have plenty of beatings left to give and executions left to carry out."

The emperor of evil reverted back to his original final form, no longer appearing bulky. "This will be too easy. Well, what are you waiting for? Show me what you've got left simian trash."

'Welp, here goes nothing!' The hybrid thought, summoning his aura of Ki and channeling his full-power. With a burst of ki, Gohan lunged for Frieza, quickly ascending upwards at the last-minute and taking off. Hopefully, just in case his dad was still alive, he could buy enough time for him to recover and hopefully take out Frieza for good this time. However, if his father was indeed dead, then he was on his own and he could only prolong the inevitable.

And, just like he hoped for, Frieza gave chase after him and, taking note of the fact that his adrenaline was pumping, Gohan quickly diverted his attention back in front of him. Though, with ease, Frieza suddenly appeared before him, having phased in his line of sight. Surprised, an wide-eyed Gohan came to an immediate halt, noting to himself that being before the tyrant once more was reminding him of how terrifying he truly was.

"Don't tell me you've had a change of heart so soon? After all," Frieza continued, arms folded across his chest as he smirked. "You came all this way just to pay me a little visit, and for what?"

Scowling lightly, Gohan quickly powered up with a burst of Ki and took off in the other direction. Though, before he could get far, the hybrid found himself on the receiving end of a foot to the face, sending him hurling backwards. Again, the child moved to take off, but Frieza was quickly before him, clasping his hands together and driving them atop of his head. Upon impact, Gohan painfully grunted, spiraling towards the ground and ultimately slamming into a nearby island. Shakily, Gohan pushed himself back up to his feet, pain registering all throughout him.

All he knew was this... this wasn't good.

Frieza chuckled, sending yellow Ki to his fingertips and firing off towards Gohan, watching as he backflipped in order to evade it. "Looks like someone bit off more than they could chew," Frieza taunted easily, firing off once more. Again, Gohan scrambled out of the way, shooting back into the air; however, even he knew that he wouldn't last much longer at this rate. Frieza was much too fast for him, and he was only managing to narrowly evade his attacks. In other words, he was merely getting lucky.

Relentlessly, a laughing Frieza fired out more Ki blasts, ultimately forcing Gohan against the boulder behind him. "Where are you going to flee to now, runt?"

Gohan said nothing, yet his eyes widened when Frieza proceeded to fire out more yellow Ki attacks from his fingertips. In response, Gohan shakily clenched his eyes shut, the sound of rocks being split into pieces yet he remained seemingly untouched. Peeking an eye open when Frieza ceased his fire, Gohan's eyes widened as he fell back, Frieza having sabotaging the boulder behind him so that he would fall backwards.

"My, my, why the long face?" Frieza inquired mockingly. "You don't look to be enjoying yourself as much as I am. Don't you like our little game?"

Said person didn't answer, simply scowling with clenched fists. 'Just a little longer! Just a few more lousy minutes and he'll get caught in the explosion.'

Again, Gohan took off to the skies without so much as a word to Frieza, and the tyrant gave chase, mentally wondering what his opponent was up to. It was almost as if he wasn't even trying to attack. If anything, he was doing more running than anything. Suddenly, eyes widened upon realizing hitting him, Frieza was quick to phase in before Gohan, regarding him knowingly.

"Oh, I get it. I see what you're doing." Frieza chuckled, hefting up a hand and pointing a finger towards the demi-Saiyan. "Unfortunately, for you might I add, your little plan won't work. That aside, this is the end of the line for you."

Gohan's eyes widened, taking note of the red Ki Frieza was sending to his fingertips. Immediately, he clenched his eyes shut, fists clenched tightly at his sides as he awaited his impending death. He tried at least. Not only that, but he took a real risk by coming out here and confronting Frieza like this. However, in the end, it looked as if he gave up his life for nothing; for his father had yet to appear.

"Say hi to your father in hell for me."

'Well, looks like I'll be joining you soon, dad.' Gohan thought with a realization, closing his eyes and preparing for the worst. However, just as he closed his eyes, he recalled what Vegeta had announced aloud before his untimely death.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"That's right, Frieza!" Vegeta chuckled. "I can't believe I lived to see this day. To think that you, Lord Frieza, would be beaten by a Saiyan. What a dream come true," the Saiyan Prince continued, heartily laughing afterwards.

However, much to his surprise, as well as Goku's surprise and those on the sidelines, Frieza quickly silenced Vegeta with a death beam to the heart. Everyone found themselves watching as he immediately slumped backwards, spluttering up cups of blood. Now, he was the one laughing, and now that Vegeta had finally shut up, he wouldn't have to hear any more of his ridiculous babbling.

Eyes widening at the sight, Goku clenched his fists, diverting his attention back onto Frieza once he recovered from his shock. "You know as well as I do that he was no threat to you! Vegeta was defenseless! Clearly, you have no honor!"

"Yet it was the only way I could shut him up. After all, he insists on going on and on about that stupid legend like a broken record."

Momentarily, Vegeta's eyes widened, mulling over the spiky-haired Saiyan's words in his head. Honor? He clenched the dirt beneath his hands with his fingertips. "Kakarot," he addressed shakily, "this...this isn't an opponent you can be...soft with. This is all nothing but a game to Frieza, and that's...all it'll ever be in his eyes. You're...going to have to get over yourself and...your foolish notions. Forget about your feelings...they'll get you killed.."

"Ignoring my feelings Vegeta," Goku began, shaking his head. "Is something I simply can't do; it's who I am. Not only that, but just like you and Piccolo had a second chance, everyone deserves a chance to-"

"-You fool." Vegeta cut in with a grimace of pain, "you...don't know what you're dealing...with." The Saiyan Prince spluttered up blood after finishing his sentence. It was getting more and more difficult to talk as the seconds passed on.

"Vegeta," Goku called out, "you need to-"

"-Frieza killed our whole planet..." Vegeta interrupted, obviously wanting to finish and get whatever it was he wanted off of his chest before he ultimately died. "It was him...behind it. My father...and yours...he killed everyone...he blew up our home planet."

"Vegeta..." Goku started again, before he was cut off once again.

"...You have to hear this.." Vegeta insisted, clenching the dirt beneath his fingertips even more. "We've worked...so hard for him...everything he asked of us...we did it." Tears formed in Vegeta's eyes as he painfully recollected everything, barely able to feel the wetness of his own tears strolling down his face. "When I was a little boy...he took me from my...father. He had me at his mercy...threatening to kill my father...if I didn't do what he asked. Even so," Vegeta continued shakily, "he still killed him...plus everyone else. And it was all because he was terrified...scared that a Super Saiyan would be born...and rise to overthrow him."

"Please," Goku pleaded, "no more. Your strength is-"

Vegeta ignored his pleas, making a plea of his own as he futilely outstretched his hand towards him. "Kakarot...you have to destroy him. It's...because of him that... I've been this way. Whatever it takes...to defeat him, please," Vegeta pleaded, "do it. Destroy him...for all that... he's done... become... a Super Saiyan!"

And lifelessly, his hand fell back down to his side, dead by the time it hit the ground.

Silence.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

That made the hybrid go berserk in that moment, his aura exploding around him in fury. He couldn't go out like this; not after all of the things Frieza did to everyone he interacted with! As much as he was petrified by the gargantuan threat, his Saiyan instincts pumped an emotion into him that was even stronger than fear: RAGE!

Frieza was caught off guard as Gohan flew at him quickly, punching him in the stomach one too many times for the tyrant to count. With a thunderous BOOM, the Arcosian darted throughout the air faster than a radio-wave, going at nigh light speeds.

Flying behind the tyrant, the hybrid kicked him in the back of the head, stopping him dead in his tracks. With a roundhouse rotation, Gohan launched the annihilator of his people into the lake made of green hued liquid. And before Frieza could even make out what had just transpired, he felt a powerfully invigorated fist to he chest, and then another, and another and another. And that seemed to turn into a trend as Gohan pounded away at the tyrant with a genuine savage mentality.

Having enough of the beat down he was taking, the tyrant grabbed both of the child's arms and attempted to overpower him. However, before Frieza could even gain the advantage when it came to simple brute strength, the hybrid kneed him in the chest, shooting him even further down into the ravaged ground. The force of the attack made the tyrant release a cup's worth of crimson liquid into the air that trailed him as he moved through the rocks in his trajectory.

Flying upwards, the hybrid gained as much extra space between himself and his enemy as he needed for his attempt to finish the deal. He quickly placed his right-hand up in the air and then had his left-hand grab his right arm. The enraged demi-Saiyan then charged his signature attack for a few seconds, the main maneuver his mentor taught him. Energy crackled all around the hybrid as Gohan's impending attack expanded at a massive rate, his body placing all of his energy into the blast.

"Masenko-HAAAAA!" Roared Gohan in a fierce war-cry as he fired off his signature plume of destructive Ki.

Frieza found himself forced back into the same island he just shot up from, and that's precisely where the blast exploded with a thunderous BOOM.

The Son of Goku perceived the area of destruction that was left in his attacks wake in anticipation, knowing Frieza couldn't possibly be killed from an attack of that magnitude alone. The durability and endurance of that monster was beyond outrageous, or maybe it was because everyone was too weak to truly injure him other than his father. He was proven right by the clearing debris and smoke; it revealed Frieza simply floating above the massive crater with his arms folded across his chest and a naturally evil smirk plastered upon his face.

The Arcosian seemed to have received a few second-degree burns along with some scratches, welts and bruises from his fight with Goku, and a few more scratches and burns added by the blast, but otherwise unharmed.

"Hah, is that all you can do monkey? All you managed to do was catch me off guard, and I assure you that it won't happen again, simian trash!" Frieza exclaimed as he floated towards the only child of Goku, an unnerving grin on his face. "I truly should have done a better job in exterminating you Saiyans from the universe 24 years ago. Now I'll simply amend that egregious mistake by killing you, and then your race will be completely extinct!"

Gohan had no other option but to attempt fleeing even if it was futile and try to stall some more, so he flew the opposite way. Frieza immediately appeared in front of him before he could even go half a mile, and mocked the halfling. "Just where do you think your going? I thought you were done trying to stall for time, because I've already caught onto your plan. Like I told your worthless father previously, no one leaves here with their life intact."

The hybrid backed up with a persistent look in his eyes and shot off the other way, but Frieza once again cut him off. Before the hybrid had a chance to halt his movement at the site of his enemy, his momentum threw him straight into a kick that launched him towards a sinking island.

"Wow, you're truly a disgrace to your kind if all you manage to do is run," mocked Frieza yet again. Not only did the constant mockery get on his nerves, he hated the fact that he could do very little in harming the Arcosian. "Pathetic. At least try to make this enjoyable, everyone's had the guts to fight me with all they had until they died except for you. Especially your father, him being the main pain in my ass this whole time made it all more enjoyable when I eliminated him, permanently."

"Shut up Frieza!" The hybrid cried out, climbing up to his feet with conviction in his eyes. "He would fight you with all he had if he was still here, and so will I!"

Gohan, with a firm resolve, fired off at Frieza once more. Said tyrant cackled as he effortlessly blocked or evaded all of the strikes the son of his strongest enemy was launching despite the hybrids raw anger, and swatted him away with his half-severed tail.

"Disappointing. You and I both know that you can't finish what your father, Vegeta, and billions of others attempted, so explain to me why it's still worth trying, simian brat." Taunted Frieza once more as he grabbed the boys ruffled hair, swinging him around in a very rough manner.

Gohan actually heeded those words and figured that they were actually legitimate. The fact of the matter made him feel truly pathetic, weak, and all of those words you could use to describe it. He was another failure on an extremely long-list of them that was bound to continue if he lived beyond this point.

However, deep inside of him, the child felt infuriated that refused to be tarnished, but rather kept growing. And the obvious reason for the spark that continued through the adversity in the form of Frieza was simply: he couldn't do anything about the current predicament. He felt like a disgrace to his Saiyan comrades ideals by failing to distract Frieza long enough, his emotions flaring up at the excruciatingly painful cutting insults that were actually truthful. It was simply an empty ploy at trying the rattle him, it was the legitimate truth. And that fact is what truly devastated him the most.

The Grandchild of Bardock defiantly glared at his opposition, and charged up a large, quick sphere of Ki between his hands. He unleashed it, shooting it towards Frieza's face in near point blank range, making it nigh impossible to avoid.

The tyrant looked on too late, and as a result the plume of energy hit him dead in the face full-force. The Arcosian only received a few scratches and third-degree burns, but he still seemed unharmed yet again.

"You're really boring me. Also, haven't you noticed that every monkey's fate will always be the same against me by now? First it was that radical Bardock along with the rest of Planet Vegeta, then it was Vegeta himself, then your father and now it's you. The latter two were more powerful than you, and all of them had the guts and stupidity to rise up against me regardless of the terror I bestowed upon them until I killed all of them, unlike you. They all tried to defeat me instead of merely stall, so how do you feel brat?" Frieza smirked in a coy-like manner at Gohan, and taunted him again, trying to get another rise. "You're a failure, piece of filth that I'd gladly dispose of. Everyone views you as such, even your precious father. As a matter of fact, he's probably thinking 'what a disappointment my son is' whilst he's in hell."

Gohan's anger and frustration was now visibly shown, and he gritted his teeth, his emotions flaring up once more. "You...you don't deserve the right...to even speak about...MY DADDY!" The five-year old roared as his new surge of anger gave him just enough enhanced power to blindside Frieza with a harsh kick to the face.

The villain was promptly knocked backwards and Gohan flew straight towards him in earnest. The hybrid gave a quick jab to Frieza's jaw and landed a huge strike to the Arcosians torso with his knee. Said demon was sent slamming slap into an island full of debris from the complete chaos surrounding them.

The hybrid, lost in his rage, launched multiple energy blasts at the opposition before him with unrelenting force. Being tired of confining his true power due to fighting a brat whom had managed to exceed his expectations, he powered back up to fifty-percent of his true power, obliterating the some of Gohan's rapid-fire attacks. "You should feel proud, the only other being to push me to fifty-percent of my power aside from my family was your worthless father, and look where that got him," exclaimed Frieza.

Gohan, not relenting, continually fired blast after blast at Frieza in attempts to at least put a scratch on him. Frieza stood at his current spot and examined his arms in another successful attempt to make a mockery of the emotional boy, and he took the attacks like nothing. The tyrant casually came out of the ensuing smoke, closing the distance in a few milliseconds, and backhanded the demi-Saiyan into the sky, ripping through the sky at beyond mach 50 speeds.

The hybrid then started to conjure up liquid in his eyes out of disappointment and contempt for himself in not being able to finish what his lineage started. However, Gohan quickly dismissed the ensuing tears, and stood up like a Saiyan, still ever defiant. 'Dad, I'm sorry for not being strong enough. I wasn't able to avenge you and all the other innocents he killed. It's true, I'm nothing more than a failure.'

Frieza looked on and broke out into hysterics much to the hybrids chagrin. "Boohoo, 'I'm so pathetic, I'm a failure'! And you know what, after I make your race extinct right now, how about I pay a visit to your planet. Hmm what was it.. oh yeah Earth, and send it into an oblivion!" Enthused the tyrant, infuriating the already distraught halfling with his over-the-top stream of mockery.

"Why can't I at least stall him for a few more lousy minutes? Why am I so weak, and why does this always happen to me? Whenever I'm needed, I either cowering away or was beaten easily, and I'm tired of it! They're all counting on me to do this, to pull it off, but I just can't!" Gohan shouted, two tears cascading down the child's face, as he repeatedly banged his fist against the ground, rocks slowly beginning to vibrate around the hybrid.

The child with the universe on his shoulders began to think about what would occur if he didn't execute on his job, and Frieza prevailed. After his death ultimately happening, his mother, Piccolo, his friends, and not to mention the whole entire planet; will die. And then the inevitable innocents that the tyrant would eviscerate afterwards as he continued ruling over the universe.

Something snapped within Gohan as he felt the genuine gravity of the situation. The sparks that already dazzled through him forged into a small flame that would only eventually transcend into a raging inferno.

No! Gohan just couldn't stand for this and let them all die like that without giving it an over two-hundred percent effort to stop him! He just wouldn't allow that to happen, no matter what! His heart began pumping and pumping, and pumping, and pumping again! Each one louder than the last and at an alarmingly increasing pace.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

"Mom, Piccolo...ngh...I...no...it...won't...happen..." Gohan tried to calm himself down, but his rage then shot into a whole other level, the intensity turning up many notches. His mind went numb and blank, and his skin lit aflame with a ferocious glow. "AAGH! GRRR! NGH! HRRRRR! ERRRR!" Gohan's eyes went blank with rage, as his consciousness seemed to blank out, while on the outside, his teeth ground with such ferocity that it was audible and his voice garbled out inaudible rage-filled mutterings, sounding much more hoarse and guttural.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

'I can't afford to fail...any longer...it's all up to me now!'

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

'This is the end of the road! It's either stop him or don't, nothing else in between!'

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

'I swear I won't fail now...not just for everything...he's done or everyone he's killed...or even for my home, but...but for...!'

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

'But for the whole universe's sake! Everyone attempted it but failed, even my father, so I'm the last hope! He deserves justice and I'm the only one left to give to him!'

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

'FOR EVERYONE'S SAKE: I WILL NOT FAIL TO STOP HIM NO MATTER WHAT!'

Gohan roared to the heavens as he had just snapped past the breaking point. The barrier has been thoroughly shattered and an involuntary golden aura surrounded him. Rocks began to rise at much more rabid pace then the old, subtle pace, and winds grew from already intense to downright insane.

"RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGH!" The hybrid howled out, his body contorting and vibrating in power dramatically as he shouted with unadulterated rage, his bowl-cut turning spiky and unruly.

Everything blew away for miles on end and the fierce Hurricane's blew over the islands, Tsunamis and extreme rippling tides crashed and washed over tons of islands and lakes made of magma. Just the raw Electromagnetic Waves emanating from the golden aura would've lit up the darkness in the sky for hundreds of miles.

Upon seeing the ultimate rage coming from the boy he constantly pushed to the limit, Frieza widened his eyes with horror to the point that the ice-cold tyrant found himself shaking with fear and anger. "No..." he muttered. "Not again... This can't be happening to me."

Gohan's hair fluctuated in style whilst he ascended, constantly spiking upwards and falling back down. His hair also flashed from black to gold in a flare of light, conveniently in synchronicity with lightning strikes that flashed around him, illuminating his body. The hybrid's aura also brought golden lighting to the dark, depressing green Namekian sky, looking the sun in a sky where the three suns weren't visible. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

During the whole ordeal, he could only think about just how useless he was. During his fight with the Saiyans, he was too scared to hit Nappa. During his fight with the Ginyu force, he nearly got killed by a person he was much stronger than in Guldo, and received a broken neck courtesy of Recoome. During his fight with Frieza, he let Krillin get impaled and then die further in on the battle. He let Vegeta die without lending him a helping hand, he let Piccolo nearly get killed for a second time after bringing him back hours before. And last but not least, he abandoned his father against his own wishes to fight Frieza and eventually his father died to the tyrant. And the theme of it all? He always ended up getting save by someone, and they payed the price for his inability to change the outcome of anything. NO MORE! He was the last survivor with his extinct race's blood, and he would be damned if he didn't defeat this new threat, no matter what!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Gohan's screams of agony, ferocity, fury, and rage all in one package ceased with the final holler into the universe.

When the golden haze of the explosion cleared, it revealed the ascended hybrid, whom had a cold and piercing expression on his face. The demi-Saiyan's hair, rather than a bowl cut, stuck up in a gravity-defying manner, with only a small lock of hair dangling from his forehead. However, it wasn't straight up, but rather slanted to the left and right in sporadic way than simply being all straight up. His eyes remained teal as well, and his enriched golden hair completely matched his golden glow. Even a blind person could tell that his muscles bulked up more, and his body seemed to have grew an inch.

"What?! NO! Impossible! I've already defeated the Super Saiyan of Legend, how can there be another one? This can't be! Its... inconceivable!"

"ERRRRRGH!" Gohan responded, his teal eyes shining bright with determination and tenacious willpower. The hybrid finally awakened from his slumber, and achieved what ninety-nine percent of the Saiyans could only hope to even imagine. And he's a half breed hybrid whom was just five years-old only moments after Goku had previously done so. He too, became a Super Saiyan of Legend.

A/N: From the far future in 2021, the author known as SinisterofRAGE is currently retconning the entire story from Chapters 1-47. In 2014, SinisterofRAGE was a 12-year old kid whom, under the influence of casual fanboying, created each chapter on a whim. Somehow, the product was not an utter atrocity. However, the now 18 year-old version of SinisterofRAGE (Sin) could not allow his rampant thoughts about the series stay rent-free in his mind any longer. He is now prepared to deliver a realistic, but amazing take on what would ACTUALLY happen if Goku took just a little bit longer...
