It had been a year after the defeat of Cell, and the entire Z senshi had gathered at the Son family residence,
just to reunite after that long year after Cell's defeat, and Goku's sacrifice.
Everyone was there, Tien, Yamcha, Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin, even Chaozu. And of course Bulma and baby Trunks, and ChiChi.
And his new baby brother, Goten, who would be three months old next Tuesday.
Vegeta snorted. "Kid, don't give up yet. You still have time to train and keep your power. Don't lose heart, don't lose the
path of a Saiya-jin Warrior!"
Piccolo looked down on Vegeta. "Dende didn't come because of you, you know. Gohan can study if he wants to, there are no threats
to the Earth."
"He is a Saiya-jin! He will not act as an Earthling would, he is the strongest being I have ever seen! It is a waste!"
Gohan looked down. He didn't want to train, he wanted to become a sholar, to educate people, write books. He didn't want to
fight unless he had to, and now there was no reason to fight or train.
As if reading Gohan's mind, Piccolo spoke up again. "Vegeta, quiet. Gohan can kick your ass if you don't shut your mouth. He
doesn't want to train or fight any longer, it's okay. Besides, it's his life, and he doesn't have to live as a Saiya-jin would."
Vegeta again snorted. "He is a blind fool. He could easily own this entire pla-OWWW!" Bulma had smacked Vegeta from behind. "Shut up
Vegeta! Gohan can do as he wants to! I think it's good that he doesn't want to fight all day long like you. At least he will suppost himself.."
This comment earned an arched eyebrow from Vegeta, but he shut up none the less.
Suddenly everyone's head whirled to the north, a huge Ki was heading towards them. Instantly eveyone except for Gohan, his mother, Bulma, and the babies
powered up to their max power. A split second later, Gohan had gone Super Saiya-jin 2, and grabbed Goten. Everyone looked up, and nearly
gawked. The force coming at them was beyond reason, this made Cell and Frieza together look like bunny rabbits!
Suddenly a figure came into view. As soon as he had, however, he faded out. He then appeared by Gohan. "Yes, you are the one they want." He smacked Gohan
in the side of the neck and he was knocked out, falling on Goten. Although by mistake, this saved Goten's life.
When Gohan awoke, he nearly screamed. The entire place was in flame, and nothing was left. Everyone had been killed. Even baby Trunks and his mother. And Gohan's mother.
Then Gohan looked over towards where Vegeta's body lay. The man stood there, a black aura blazing around him. "So, you are awake. Oh. You are wondering about the others, yes?
Well, they challenged me after I knocked you out. I knew they would, which is why I did that to you. They got in my way, so I disposed of them. Anyways, I came to give you an offer.
I come from an organization, the Dark Empire it is called. And in fact, it is one. We heard you had defeated Cell, and we saw your potential. So, we ask you, will you join us and gain supreme power?
Please keep in mind I am merely a scout, one of the weakest, and I killed them all with ease." He grinned.
Gohan again went to SSJ2, his aura blazing. Tears formed around the corners of his eyes. One year ago, his father had died. Now everyone he knew and cared for is gone. He screamed. "AAAHHHHH!"
His golden aura charged more and more, and slowly became silver. His hair returned to its SSJ look, only pulsating silver and white, no gold. His pupils went from green to blue.
The muscle mass bulged slightly, and he screamed again. "You monster! They only tried defending me! They did nothing to you! And you killed them all!" He would go on to call this level Mystic Saiya-jin,
although it was really the first of his many long steps to True Super Saiya-jin, a level that is about twice as powerful as this.
Gohan cupped his hands at the sides, in rage mainly, and shouted, "KAMEHAMEHAMEHAAA!" The energy formed, throbbing blue energy, growing and growing. The scout was fear striken. "Nooooo!"
Gohan then screamed, "HAAAAAA!" and fired the deathly energy beam at the scout. The scout would never be seen again.
An hour passed, and Gohan had powered down. He sat down and wept for another hour. Then he remember Goten all of a sudden. He picked him up and flew to Capsule Corp. There he fed him, and changed him.
Afterwards, he trained in the gravity room. And after a while, he decided not to waste his time.
Gohan had changed. He went from wanting peace and knowledge, to wanting revenge. Pure cold-hearted revenge on the Dark Empire. For seven years he would train with Goten, wandering the world, fighting small time criminals and saving
towns and such, in search of the Dark Empire so they could exact their revenge upon them....
