Disclaimer - Again with this nonsense, no I do NOT own DBZ, OK?
Thanks for everyone who reviewed!!!
***************************************************************************
Gohan had no control over himself as he was in his ascended form. The only thing that he could think about was why everyone kept on telling him that it wasn't his fault when it was.
Kuso! Why does everyone say that it is not my fault?! Can't anyone understand that if I had of killed Cell when Tousan told me to, he wouldn't have had to sacrifice himself and would still be alive?! I don't deserve to live!
Gohan was flying at an incredible speed over the ocean that he had reached just minutes after he had struck Piccolo. The water cascaded around him, droplets of water occasionally drenching his face. The water could not change his emotionless expression, however. Although his mind was pulsing with rage, his face hid that emotion flawlessly.
***************************************************************************
Piccolo started to stir about an hour after Gohan had left. His face was contorting with pain as he slowly began to stand up. As soon as he was standing, he had to crouch over and cough. Drops of Piccolo's blood splattered onto the ground in front of him. He stood upright again and closed his eyes, searching for Gohan's ki.
As soon as he found it, his eyes widened in terror. Gohan is still in his ascended form! He cannot control himself and may harm some innocent people without thinking. I have to stop him! Piccolo then realized how Gohan had knocked him out so easily and looked at the ground. I can't help him at all without being harmed or even killed. He can't stay like that forever though, his ki will soon start to diminish. I'll just have to wait and hope that he doesn't do anything stupid.
Piccolo powered up and started to fly back to Kami's Palace.
***************************************************************************
Gohan was now flying over a humid rain forest. He was starting to calm down, but only a little. His eyes twitched as he was becoming tired from using so much ki. He landed in a tremendous tree that towered more than one hundred feet above the other treetops. He changed back to his Super Saiya-jin form, his muscles contracting and his hair becoming shorter. Then his hair and eyes turned ebony and his golden aura disappeared.
He then remembered about what he had done to Piccolo and looked at his hands in shock. I can't believe I did that! Piccolo-san
Gohan then fell on his back, his arm resting on a tree branch, and fell asleep.
***************************************************************************
Gohan woke up suddenly and looked around. The sky was a bright orange as the sun rose slowly.
Nani?! I slept all night?!
He then remembered about the past day's events, how he had ran away from Kaasan because she didn't understand. How he had landed in the same desert where he had killed Cell and had been confronted by Piccolo-san. How he had become enraged at Piccolo-san and had!
Something in Gohan's mind was warning him not to think about it. It had been the same thing that had caused Tousan's death. The violent, hidden power that hid itself inside until Gohan became extremely pissed and couldn't hide it away and longer.
Gohan didn't know where to go. How could he face Kaasan after he had stormed out on her like that? But he didn't want to stay in the forest, so Gohan leaped from the tree. He then staggered suddenly and landed on the ground.
What happened to me? I don't have any ki, but that would mean that I'm dead. No, if I was dead I would be in hell, and this doesn't look like hell
"WHAT'S GOING ON?!" Gohan screamed in frustration. He was definitely not in the mood for any more problems in his life at the moment.
"Shut up baka! You should know that screaming like that hurts our ears!"
Gohan's eyebrows knitted. He eyed the dark trees surrounding him, not daring to move his head. He tried to sense for the voice's ki, but there was none. In fact, there was no ki at all that he could sense. He couldn't even sense Vegeta, who should have been awake and training by now.
"Both of you should be quiet. You're both hurting my ears!"
That voice had come from behind him. Gohan couldn't help it, he leaped to face the new voice and bent down in a fighting stance. Strange, they both sound the same
A twig snapped from the direction of the first voice. Gohan rushed towards the noise only to be met by a fist. Terrible pain spread through Gohan's body. Nani?! I've never felt so much pain! He bent over and held his stomach and looked up into the eyes of himself!
Gohan screamed again in surprise and fell onto his bottom.
"I thought I told you to stop screaming! You're just like a dumb, little girl!"
Gohan calmed himself down and looked at the other boy. The boy was a Saiya-jin because he had a tail. He was wearing armor identical to the one that Gohan had worn when he was training in the Room of Spirit and Time, and had the exact same haircut as Gohan. What shocked Gohan the most was that the boy looked exactly like him, except that this boy had a hard, mean expression.
"Humph, you shouldn't be calling him a little girl when you scream nearly as much as him!"
Gohan looked over his shoulder, his eyes narrowed, at the other intruder. This one looked like a normal human boy, yet he also seemed to look like Gohan. He had the same hair style that Gohan regretfully remembered having while he was on Namek-sei. He was wearing a normal long-sleeved white shirt with black overalls over that, and also had wire-rimmed glasses. Unlike the other boy, this one had a kind face.
"Wh who are you?" Gohan stammered.

Hehe, a cliffhanger! Well, not really if you think about it. Also, I'm not sure if the place where Mr. Popo and Dende live is called Kami's Palace, I'm just going by what I've heard. Please review!
