Chapter 21
"Your Kakarotto's son?" asked Bardock looking at his oldest grandson" How is that possible?"
"Well," said Krillin" When a man and a woman…"
The former monk was interrupted by the oldest half Saiyan who blushing said" Krillin I don't need to know that. And stop laughing I'm supposed to be the leader here until dad comes back. How are people supposed to respect me?" he was supposed to be the scary team leader it didn't help that the others were laughing at him
"Don't worry Gohan we will follow you until the end of the Earth as we have done with Goku no matter how much we make fun of you," said Yamcha
"It just that to us, you will always be that little boy that we first met no matter how strong you have become," said Krillin smirking at his best friend's son
"You all know I'm the third strongest being in the universe, right?" said Gohan pouting through he would forever deny it
"Of course, you are baby." said Lime" But right now you have to deal with the visitor because if King Vegeta is anything like his son he is about to explode."
The Z-fighters turned to look at the Saiyan all of who looked confused and curious the king looked about to explode.
"I think we all deserve an explanation." said the Saiyan queen
"I agree your majesty," said King Furry looking at the boy that looked so much like the man they had saved them so many times "Who are you, young man?"
"My name is Son Gohan you all may know my father Son Goku," he said looking at the kings and queens of Earth" or Kakarotto if you are from Planet Vegeta."
The Saiyans all looked like they couldn't understand what was going on or how that was possible.
The Saiyan king turned towards Raditz and Nappa and the Z-gang couldn't help but finch a bit at his eyes they reminded them of the Vegeta they had met thirteen years ago." Explain." the older Vegeta said
"Well, you see," said Raditz" until now we didn't know why but Vegeta and Kakarotto asked us to lie to you about our previews encounters."
"And the fact we both have visited this planet before." said Nappa" Hey don't look at us like that it's not like we had a choice we needed more than three Saiyans to defeat Frieza."
"Two questions and you better answer before we go any further." said King Furry" What happened when you visited here and who is Frieza?"
It was Gohan who answered the king" Frieza was the emperor of the Universe, who controlled his own imperial army and is feared for his ruthlessness and power. Nothing to worry about my dad and the other Z-fighters defeated them and there was peace on Earth again."
"Nothing to worry about." said one of the Kings" You just said that we were also invented by an alien race."
"Not really invaded there were only three Saiyan and Goku defeated all three of them and Gohan is right there is nothing to worry about it's our job to do that not yours."
"So, you're saying that for many years we have entrusted the safety of Earth to aliens," said Erasa looking at her new friend with different eyes
"Hey I will have you know we are all from Earth the only aliens in our mist are Goku, Vegeta, and their descendants." said Yamcha and then added as an afterthought" And Piccolo but he was born here along with the halflings."
"Wait, Vegeta?" asked one of the Saiyans" As in Prince Vegeta our future King?"
The Z-fighters groaned" Can you please not mention that he is enough of a pain in the ass."
All of them flinched at the glare, Bulma directed at them" That's my husband, you are talking about." shocking the Saiyans and everyone else who didn't know
Before a fight could start Gohan said," All right let's get back to business."
The next few hours were critical for the Z-fighters and Gohan did his best to both emulate his father and to not do what his father would do on that occasion which was harder than he thought possible.
During everything, he ignored the questions not having to do with the safety of Earth by both sides because answering that was his dad's job, not his.
