Yay! Two chapters in a row! Aren't I special? Now that I'm done gloating, I proudly bring to you the 9th chapter of
Gohan's Story of DragonBall
OR
How to Tell the Woman of Your Dreams You're a Space Alien
"So, Gohan...what happens next?" Videl asked.
"Well, like I said, my dad had just arrived, and Vegeta, Krillin and I were hurt pretty bad. Thankfully, Dad had some senzu beans with him. He gave me and Krillin a bean, then he even gave one to Vegeta. Krillin was really surprised at that and asked my dad how we were supposed to heal ourselves after fighting with the Ginyu Force. My dad just said he would deal with them himself. This is when Vegeta called my dad a 'Super Saiyan.'"
"Supposedly, Super Saiyans were legendary fighters who hadn't been around in 1000 years. Since it had been so long and the stories of them were only passed down through the ages, Vegeta thought my dad was one. As it turned out, he wasn't yet. Super Saiyan is actually a form that powerful Saiyans can take. Its the one where we turn our hair gold and our eyes green. If I could, I'd show you right now."
"Gohan, what do you mean 'if you could?'" Videl asked.
"Well, lets just say that since the fight with Buu, its not...uh...safe for me to go Super Saiyan." Videl looked perplexed at this.
"What do you mean 'not safe?' I've seen you do it before!"
"Well...uh..." Gohan stammered, not wanting to tell her the real reason he couldn't do it. He just didn't want to sound pompous by saying that him going Super Saiyan would release enough power to destroy most of the solar system. So, he didn't. "I just can't anymore, Videl. Its something I gave up to help defeat Buu."
"Oh, okay...I guess."
"Back to the story, though. At this point, my dad walked up to Racoome, who seemed to want to fight first. Racoome used an attack on my dad, but missed. Then, they couldn't see my dad for a moment. When they finally found him, he gave them a choice, either leave or get lots of pain. Unfortunately, they chose pain. They seemed to think my dad was really fast but not very strong. Oh, how wrong they were!"
"Racoome tries to use another attack, something like 'Racoome Ultra Fighting' something or other. Well, he doesn't even get a chance to finish the name of the attack before my dad fells him with one hit. Well, next, my dad offers to the other members of the Ginyu Force the chance to leave, but they do some silly pose and come at him. Well, my dad trounces them a bit too. He even blasts them merely with his energy! It was amazing how powerful my dad was."
"Well, after a bit more fighting, my dad tells one of them to gather their fallen comrades and leave. Well, the guy runs off to tell Ginyu, their leader, and my dad watches him run off. Vegeta takes this time to come up and kill two of them, Racoome and another whose name I don't remember. We looked on, stunned that Vegeta would kill a helpless adversary. Vegeta defends his actions, then tells us that Dad has to be a Super Saiyan to defeat the frightening power of Frieza. Vegeta couldn't have been more right, though we didn't know it yet."
"At this point, we were wondering why Frieza hadn't summoned the Eternal Dragon yet. Vegeta asked us how we knew, and we told him about how night falls on the entire planet when the dragon is summoned. My dad figured it out, too. You see, Frieza didn't know the proper words to summon the Eternal Dragon. That was when we wondered where Frieza was. My dad pointed off in the distance, toward the elder's house. We freaked at the thought of Frieza killing the elder Namek, but then we realized he went there to discover the secret to using the balls."
"At this point, Ginyu and one of his men came back. Dad told me and Krillin to use the Dragon Radar to find the balls while he and Vegeta fought with these two. Krillin and I raced off after the radar. We got to Bulma, grabbed the radar, and race off. Bulma had tried to stop us to find out what was going on, but we were in too much of a hurry to stay and chat. The only thing I said as I left was that my dad was here. She said something as I left, but I didn't catch it."
"We race off toward the balls, which are hidden near Frieza's ship. We get them out and then Krillin says the summoning, but it didn't work! We were wondering why until we noticed Ginyu and his man coming. My dad and Vegeta must have lost, so we hid. But, when we looked out at them, it was my dad, wearing a scouter, and a Ginyu trooper! Well, Krillin yells out to them and runs out to see what's going on."
"My dad asked how Krillin had found the balls, which made me wonder. Then he asked if we had made a wish yet. 'Shouldn't he know?' I had thought. That was when Krillin realized my dad had a scouter on, and he asked why Dad was acting strange and wearing a scouter. He took a step toward Krillin, and I couldn't take it anymore. I jumped up and shouted a warning to Krillin, who jumped back."
"Well, those two knew their cover was blown, so they did one of their stupid Ginyu poses and declared who they were. A moment later, Ginyu's body (with my dad in it) came up and tried to explain things. He also told us we could defeat his body. You see, Ginyu didn't know all the techniques King Kai had taught my dad, so he couldn't power up nearly as much as my dad could."
"Well, we fought with him, and Krillin and I were trashing Dad's body. Vegeta came out of Frieza's ship and started to fight with the other guy, but it didn't last long. It only took him a short amount of time to kill him. My dad wasn't pleased with how Vegeta killed people so much. Then, Vegeta started to beat on my dad's body, too. My dad's body was looking pretty roughed up when my dad tells us to stop. Then, his body shouted out 'CHANGE!' and a beam shot out at Vegeta."
"My dad jumped in front of the beam and he and Ginyu traded bodies back. Supposedly, that is what happened to my dad in the first place. Well, Ginyu was pretty mad at that, but then he tried it again, but a frog jumped up in the way. Since Ginyu had to say 'change' to trade bodies, he was kind of stuck in that form."
"Next, we looked over my dad. He was pretty roughed up and so Vegeta put him into a medical pod in Frieza's ship. Then he gave me and Krillin new clothes, specifically, Saiyan armor like the stuff that I showed you earlier. We didn't want to wear it back then, since it made us look like the bad guys, but we did anyway."
"Well, Krillin ran off toward the elder's place then, since Frieza was there, and I stayed behind. Well, about two hours later, I was pretty worried, that is, until I sensed two people coming. I met up with them, and it was Dende and Krillin. We flew back to camp and got the balls, but while we were looking for a place to set them, we sensed Frieza, coming in FAST."
"Dende quickly summoned the dragon (apparently, the summoning had to be done in Namekian) and he appears. The dragon was much bigger there than it is here on earth, and it surprised us when it asked for 3 wishes. Well, first we wish to bring back all those that Nappa and Vegeta had killed, but the dragon told us he couldn't resurrect groups, only individuals. I started to panic, but then, I heard Piccolo's voice. He told me to wish him back, since that would also restore Kami and our dragon balls."
"Next, since Piccolo thinks he might be a match for Frieza, we should wish him to Namek to help out. Well, we didn't specify a location, so Piccolo came to SOMEWHERE on Namek, but he was there. We were going to hold on to the last wish, but Vegeta came out and tried to wish for immortality. Unfortunately, the elder died and the dragon disappeared before he could complete his wish."
"Well, suffice it to say that Vegeta was MAD. But we had bigger fish to fry. Frieza had arrived. Frieza demanded that he be allowed to fight with Vegeta, and Vegeta was ready. The two of them powered way up, and it impressed Krillin and I quite a bit. But then, Vegeta told Frieza to take his true form and fight at full power. This stunned us! He wasn't fully powered up yet???"
"Well, Frieza didn't see a problem with that, so he transformed. It was absolutely amazing! He was so much more powerful than us it wasn't funny. To show off, he obliterated a small mountain and the blast threw us quite a ways. But then he attacked and hurt Krillin, bad. Let's just say that I was pretty mad, and I went ballistic. You've never seen me go ballistic, have you, Videl?"
"No, I can't say that I have, Gohan...Wait! Yes, I have! The Cell Games! I saw you when you and Cell were fighting for a bit, that is, until the TV went out."
Gohan remembered that day, and he remembered why the TV had went out. "That was when Cell had killed 16 and I had DEFINITELY went ballistic. In fact, as I recall, it was me powering up that knocked the TV's out!" He snickered at that thought.
"What is so funny, Gohan?" Gohan just shook his head.
"Nothing, just thinking about stuff. Back to the story?" Videl nodded. "Ok, well, I went ballistic. I don't exactly remember how it happened, but I REALLY gave Frieza a beating, at least for a few moments. I just had to save Krillin. Well, Dende had saved Krillin while I had kept Frieza busy, but Frieza was far from defeated. He really did a number on me. In fact, if it weren't for Dende, I would've died there on Namek. That reminds me, I need to thank Dende for that someday..."
"When I came back to, Dende's hands were on my once broken neck, and Frieza appeared blinded. Later, Krillin told me he had used the Solar Flare to blind him. And that was when Piccolo actually got there. Piccolo and Frieza fought a bit after Piccolo told us to get out of there, and it seemed to be a pretty even fight. That is, until Frieza got in a few good hits."
"Well, Piccolo chose that moment to remove his heavy training clothes and he told Frieza that he was ready to fight for real. Frieza, too, told us that he was ready to fight for real, and that he still had two more forms, each much more powerful than this one! He then transformed into this hideous looking thing that was intensely powerful. Piccolo was no match for Frieza at this point."
"Piccolo tried to run back a bit to gain some distance, but Frieza was much too fast. I jumped in to try and help, but I couldn't really do anything. Piccolo had to save me from my own attack. Then, Frieza told us that he would just skip up to his final form, and then, for no reasons that I could fathom at the time, Krillin nailed Vegeta with an energy attack square in the chest."
"Well, I took Piccolo to Dende and Krillin, hoping to have Dende heal him. At this point, Krillin told me about why he shot Vegeta. Vegeta had asked him to. You see, Saiyans become much more powerful when they are damaged or nearly killed but survive. So, Vegeta was trying to become much stronger. Dende is still mad at Vegeta for killing a village of Nameks, though, so he wouldn't heal him."
"Well, we finally convince Dende to heal Vegeta, especially since we really need him, when Frieza makes his last shape change. At that point, he looked like a small white lizard, or something kind of like that. Its hard to explain. Well, Frieza started things big, and used a blast from his finger that killed Dende in one shot. Then, he tried to kill me, but Vegeta saved me. He said he just wanted an audience, but...."
"Well, Vegeta and Frieza fight next, and Vegeta just got himself beat pretty quick. He used a mammoth energy attack, and Frieza just batted it aside. Then Frieza just started to pound on Vegeta, who was nearly helpless. He was about to kill Vegeta when my dad got there. The healing tank was done and he was ready to fight again. He stopped Frieza's attack, deflected his finger beams, and looked really cool doing it."
"At that point, Vegeta said the reason my dad was so powerful was that he was a Super Saiyan. Well, Frieza was pretty annoyed at that old joke, which Vegeta had been spouting off about for a while, so he just killed Vegeta. My dad asked Frieza why he had killed a helpless man, but Vegeta wasn't quite dead yet. He told my dad about how Frieza had destroyed the Saiyan homeworld, then told my dad to take the last step and become a Super Saiyan for him. Then he died. My dad made him a grave with an energy blast and threw him in, buried him, then said some sort of eulogy. I couldn't tell what he said, I was too far away."
"Well, next my dad and Frieza started fighting. It seemed pretty even, but then Frieza said that he wasn't using all his power. My dad responded, saying that he wasn't, either. I couldn't believe it, but Piccolo told me to concentrate and I would be able to see. He was right! Then, my dad and Frieza raced off to some other island to fight. We followed their energies, and it seemed pretty even until Frieza's power started to shoot upward. A little bit later, my dad's shot up. We didn't know what to think, only that it was some fight going on over there."
At that point, Gohan felt something hit his shoulder. It was Videl's head. She must have fallen asleep a moment ago. He glanced down at his watch, since time wasn't the same here as it was back in Satan City. The only thing that stopped him from falling over when he noticed the time was that Videl was on his shoulder, sleeping. It was almost 1 am back home! Oh, he was going to be in so much trouble!
How right you are, Gohan. Well, what did you all think of that chapter? Getting better? I tried to cover a little more story in that one, especially since I didn't cover much in the last one, and, like I was told, I wouldn't be done for about 20 more chapters at that rate. Well, read and review, but most importantly, ENJOY!
