Chapter Four: Who's Goku?
Goku and Gohan follow Napa and Raditzu towards the prison. Gohan mouths, "Should we kill them now?" Goku bites his lip and shakes his head no. He wants to see where the slaves are so he can free them.
Over the next hill they see a gigantic complex surrounded in barbed wire and towers. The center of the complex is heavily guarded and there are thousands of humans inside. Gohan raises his eyebrows and Goku shakes his head again.
Napa stops flying and turns around. "Kakarotto, you need to make sure the slaves finish building that ship. I'm watching you, you idiot. Don't make a mistake. King Vegeta will not stop me from punishing you again." Gohan narrows his eyes and wishes Goku would let him get a piece of the man who once killed his best friend. Napa and Raditzu laugh at both of their shocked faces and fly off back towards the city.
Goku and Gohan fly into the prison and land in the middle of the work area. The nearest slaves cower. Goku walks over to a very old man and grabs his arm. "I thought I said to keep working!" He yells for the benefit of the guards in the towers. Very quietly he whispers into the old man's ear, "We are here to save you. Go around and very quietly get all of the slaves into a group. Get the slaves in the yard last. Go!" Gohan and Goku watch the slave run away into the building.
"Hey, Kakarotto, don't you think you better get those tarts back to work?" A guard yells from the nearest tower.
Remembering that the Saijins don't call each other by dad or son, Gohan yells, "Hey! Don't even think you can talk to Goku like that!" As soon as he said it his face went white and his body cold. "God, please let him not notice."
"HEY! Who's Goku?" The guard looks at them for a second and remembers the old story that people whisper about that Kakarotto was once a friend to Earth and his name was Goku. He yells to another tower, "I think we have some imposters in the prison!" A loud siren starts and Goku and Gohan look around helplessly.
"G-g-gohan, I don't think we have much choice. I mean, they are bad, right?" Goku looks at the guards and realizes that he is going to have to kill them all. Ha shakes his head and remembers all the senseless killing on Namiku.
"You are right, Dad. Shall we?" Gohan takes a fighting stance.
"I guess so."
Gohan pulls both hands back as he mumbles, "Ka-mai, ha-mai, ha!" An energy ball forms in his hands and flies toward the nearest tower. The tower explodes on contact and the guards are incinerated.
Goku turns to another tower and blows that one up. In a short time they flattened the towers and killed all the guards around the prison. The slaves cheer. "Ok, everyone get into a tight group." Goku puts his hand on the closest slave's arm and puts his fingers to his forehead.
"What the Fuck do you think you are doing?" Bardock and Sqursha hover a few hundred feet in the air, both holding energy bombs above their heads.
"Who are you?" Sqursha squeaks in a girly version of Goku's own voice.
Goku looks up at the two Saijins and almost falls over in astonishment. The boy looks exactly like him, and the girl could be his daughter. "What did Yamcha say about my children?" Goku remembers and puts on his evilest face. "I am your father, who the hell else would I be?"
Gohan almost falls over when he hears his father swear. "Right, and I am your brother."
Bardock laughs, "Right, and I am a human. You know, GOKU, we all have earpieces in our scouters. We heard Gohan's mistake. Now we are going to get rid of you, who ever you are."
"Just one second my dear brats." Gohan and Goku both look in the direction of the voice. Standing behind them is Kakarotto and Gohan from this dimension! They are both holding kamaihamaihas in their hands. Goku looks closer at the evil Gohan and is chilled to feel no hatred towards him. How could he, he is looking at his son. How can he fight him? He looks at Kakarotto. He feels a slight bit of hatred towards him. He knows that Kakarotto is not him. But to kill his own son? And to kill his children he has never met before, this is going to be hard. "Who are you?" Kakarotto demands.
"Kakarotto, I am you, just from a different dimension. I have come to save these humans and rid their world of your evil." Goku glares at Kakarotto trying not to look at the evil Gohan.
"Well, then I guess I better stop you. King Vegeta wouldn't be pleased. NOW!" All four of them let go of their energy blasts. Goku and Gohan power up to super saijin and stop the much weaker blasts. All four of the Saijins looked like they just seen a ghost. "Super Saijins? Both of them? This can't be!" Kakarotto looked at both of them with absolute horror. "NO! There are no super saijins! That is only a myth!"
Goku and Gohan look at each other and laugh. Of course they have never seen it. Kakarotto never fought Frieza in this dimension. "We are, and you better let us go before we make you wish you have never met us." Gohan warns. Goku looks at Gohan and is surprised to see him so excited for this fight. He's even more surprised that he feels a little excited too.
"He must not be thinking about how hard it will be to kill someone who looks like me. I wonder if he remembers when Captain Ginyu stole my body on Namiku." Goku thinks.
Goku and Gohan take fighting stances and nod to each other. Both, at the same time, attack. Goku jumps in Kakarotto and Gohan's direction, while Gohan attacks Bardock and Sqursha. Goku hopes Gohan wins so that he doesn't have to face killing his own children.
* * *
Napa and Raditzu are flying towards the castle. Raditzu's scouter begins to beep. He stops and turns around and is astonished to get six high readings at the prison. All of the sudden two of the powers triple and his scouter shorts out. "Hey! Napa, look over towards the prison. There is something up."
Napa turns around and pushes the on button on his scouter. "Hmmm, four of them are Kakarotto and his brats. The other two I have never read before. We'd better go and help them."
Raditzu smiles and laughs, "Great, I have always wanted to kick Kakarotto's butt again!" They both fly as fast as they can towards the fight.
* * *
A small green speck can be seen floating a few hundred yards above the prison. None of the Saijins notice him and he doesn't care either way. He saw the six people come out of the mountain with King Vegeta and followed Kakarotto and Gohan when they left with Napa and Raditzu. He had thought that he might be able to kill Kakarotto finally after all these years.
While following the four he noticed that Kakarotto and Gohan seemed a little nervous and whispery as they followed the other two. He also noticed that they were hiding their ki, something Kakarotto forgot how to do when he was forced to "remember" his evilness. His little brat never was taught.
He smiles and growls to himself, "I knew it wasn't them, but then who are they?" He watches Goku and Gohan attack the four evil Saijins. "This should be fun."
* * *
Gohan's fist connects with Bardock's face. "Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Bardock screams as he is hurtled out into space.
Sqursha watches coldly with her hands on her hips as her brother flies out of sight. "Hmph, you DEFINENTLY are not Gohan." She laughs meanly. "Gohan is a wimp, a half-Saijin freak."
Gohan growls and puts up his hands. "I AM Gohan. You better watch your mouth who ever you are."
Sqursha laughs again and points at him. "If you are Gohan you would know that I am Kakarotto's only daughter. I am full Saijin, and YOU are not. So back off you gold haired freak."
Gohan laughs at how tough she tries to make herself sound. "You sure talk big for how scared you are."
Sqursha growls and flies at Gohan. Gohan screams, "Manseico ha!" An energy blast flies from his outstretched arms and slams into Sqursha. Sqursha closes her eyes and falls to the ground. Gohan looks down at her and shakes his head, "Sorry, I didn't want to kill you." He turns around and his blood runs cold again.
Goku is being held in a bear hug from behind by Kakarotto. Evil Gohan is slamming his fists into Goku's stomach. Gohan can feel his ki fading a little tiny bit everytime Evil Gohan's fists connect.
"DAD!" Gohan flies towards Goku and kicks Kakarotto in the back of the head.
Kakarotto lets go of Goku and turns to his attacker. That same moment Goku grabs Evil Gohan and throws him to the ground. Then the four begin to fight punch-to-punch, kick-to-kick. Evil Son versus good Dad, and evil Dad versus good Son.
Goku gets Evil Gohan into a head lock. He concentrates all his ki into his right hand and prepares to send it through Evil Gohan's chest. "What's wrong with me? I can't do it!" Goku tries again to carry out this murderous attack. He drops Evil Gohan and falls to the ground shaking. "Can't do it, can't do it, I CAN'T DO IT!"
Evil Gohan starts to laugh quietly. "What's wrong GOKU? Are you too GENTLE to fight me? What happened? You killed all those guards! Why not me?" He laughs again and glares down at Goku. "Or are you having a hard time killing your own son?" Evil Gohan lowers himself to the ground and puts a smile on his face. "Daddy! I love you so much! Please don't hurt me!" He runs over to Goku and pulls him into an embrace.
Goku begins to cry, "I can't believe I even thought about it. I am so sorry Gohan. Please forgive me."
Evil Gohan begins to shake a little, then a little more. He looks into Goku's face and Goku sees that Evil Gohan is laughing quietly. Evil Gohan whispers, "You ARE as dumb as Raditzu told me you were." Goku lets go with wide eyes very slowly. He looks down and sees a kamaihamaiha between them. "HA!" Evil Gohan finishes his thought outloud. The energy attack blows Goku back into a nearby building. When the dust settles he sees that Goku's hair is black again. "HAHA! Seemed to knock the gold right off!"
Gohan shrieks and slams his fists into the back of Kakarotto's head. "That darn Evil me hurt my dad! I better help him." Kakarotto falls to the ground and Gohan starts to fly towards Evil Gohan.
"Don't think so!" Kakarotto shouts as he grabs Gohan's leg. Gohan whips around to blast Kakarotto in the face.
Gohan stops cold and looks at Kakarotto smiling. "Darn, smiling like that. he looks like Dad!"
"What's wrong boy? You too soft, just like your Daddy?" Kakarotto laughs and swings Gohan in a circle above his head by Gohan's leg. He lets go and Gohan is flung into the building that Goku landed in. Again the dust clears and Gohan's hair is black too.
* * *
"Uh oh, looks like someone is losing. I better jump in now." He slowly flies over to the prison. He lands between the two pairs of Father and Son. "Now, I need to know something, where the hell did you come from?"
Gohan is shaking Goku, trying to revive him. He looks over and sees Piccolo. Only, this Piccolo is different. There is no proud softness in his eyes. No love, no caring. Just hard, evil coldness. "Piccolo?"
Demon Lord Piccolo opens his eyes wide and a sweat drop slides down his cheek. "Why isn't he afraid of me? How the hell does he know me?"
Gohan smiles at Piccolo's obvious look of confusion. "Piccolo, I come from another dimension. We are here to free your dimension from the Saijins. Help us and you will be free too."
Piccolo looks closer at Gohan to see if he is lying. Saijins are well- known for that. "What makes you think I want them gone? Also, I tried fighting with Goku before. He made me lose against his silly brother. I can't fight with him."
Gohan looks surprised. "Piccolo, you won in my world. Then you kid-napped me after you killed my Dad. You trained me to be like you. You were killed by Napa and I wished you back while I was on your planet. Later you fused with Nail, another Namikian, and then Kami. You are one of the strongest beings in the world in my dimension, and you are best friends with Goku. I know you have goodness in you. That is why I know you will help us kill the Saijins."
Piccolo looks at Gohan in disbelief. Then he laughs, "Well, at least I got to kill your scum of a Father, but good God, fuse with Kami?"
Gohan laughs, "I know, you didn't want to. You said it was the most disgusting thing you could think of, but you had to if you wanted to save the Earth from a very strong monster."
Piccolo shakes his head, "How could I have been so strange in their world? Why would I ever go near that Kami." Piccolo glances in the direction of Kami's hideout. "It is."
"Well! If you two are done chitchatting I would like to finish this once and for all." Evil Gohan says walking towards Demon Lord Piccolo. "Now, Devil, do you really believe you could ever be a good guy? Don't listen to him, help us get rid of them. They are gentle and nice, you hate that."
Piccolo looks at Evil Gohan and back at Gohan. He is so confused. He used to admire the young half-Saijin before the others got their hands on him. Then Evil Gohan tried to kill him just like the others. "Sorry Gohan."
Both Gohans' eyes go big. At the same time they wonder, "Which one of us does he mean?"
Piccolo turns to Goku and Gohan with a pointy teeth grin. Gohan gulps and realizes that he ment him. Piccolo touches his forehead and begins to hum. "Demon Beam!" He points is fingers towards Gohan and at the last second swings around and shoots Evil Gohan through the heart. Evil Gohan falls to the ground and dies.

"Don't think so!" Kakarotto shouts as he grabs Gohan's leg. Gohan whips around to blast Kakarotto in the face.
Gohan stops cold and looks at Kakarotto smiling. "Darn, smiling like that. he looks like Dad!"
"What's wrong boy? You too soft, just like your Daddy?" Kakarotto laughs and swings Gohan in a circle above his head by Gohan's leg. He lets go and Gohan is flung into the building that Goku landed in. Again the dust clears and Gohan's hair is black too.
