What If It Hadn't Happened?
Chapter 4
Gohan stood next to Videl, waiting nervously for the 20-minute break to end. His
palms sweaty and knees shaking, Videl looked over at him.
"Gohan, don't worry about your fight. You made it to the finals! That's impressive
enough. But I still think you can win," she said quietly.
Gohan smiled, and said, "Thanks, Videl. I haven't seen my dad fight for seven years. I
don't know how much stronger he's gotten."
Videl took his hand and said, "No matter how much stronger he's gotten, I still think
you can beat him."
She got up on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek.
Gohan blushed and muttered, "Hehe...Thanks..."
Krillin nudged Goku in the side and said, "Did you see that, Goku?"
Goku nodded in response, grinning. (I'm happy for those two. They may not know it
yet, but they're perfect for each other,) he thought.
Too soon for Gohan, the announcer asked he and his father to come to the ring.
Gohan looked back at Videl as he walked, and was met with an encouraging smile.
(Videl believes in me. I can do this!) he thought.
"Begin!" The two Sons charged each other, faster then most could see. Gohan blocked
punches and kicks, finally feeling the effects of not training for all that time.
"Come on, Gohan. I know you can do better than this!" Goku said, punching Gohan in
the gut.
Gohan grinned and said, "Well then, why don't I turn it up a notch?" He broke off and
went Super.
Goku followed suit, and they fought again. Even at only level one, the energy crackled
around them, creating cracks in the already damaged ring floor.
After taking another punch, Gohan powered up to level 2.
Before his father could power up as well, he flew at Goku, punching him in the face,
then the stomach. Goku doubled over, and Gohan slammed his fists down onto his spine,
sending the full-blooded Saiyan crashing to the ring.
Goku stood up shakily, powering up to level two as well. He joined his son in the air
again, and smirked. Wiping blood off of his chin, he said, "That was all luck, Gohan.
Don't expect to hit me again."
"Don't count on it, Dad. I've got a few tricks I've been working on, while you were
gone," Gohan replied.
The ground literally shook as the two Saiyans collided. Gohan was able to match his
father punch for punch, kick for kick.
"So, what about those tricks you were telling me about?" Goku asked.
"Well, here's one," Gohan said. His arms and legs, muscles already increased because of SS2, bulged even more, and his aura turned dark blue.
Goku felt his energy skyrocket, and said, "Impressive. What do you call that?"
"I don't have a name for it yet. It's sort of like your kaio-ken attack," Gohan said. "But there are a few differences," he continued, "One: I made it myself, instead of learning it from King Kai. Two: No matter how long I use it, it won't hurt my body, though I can't keep it forever. I think my time limit's about 3 hours. Three: Instead of just physical strength and speed, my fighting instincts are actually increases. I'm on higher alert, now. I think that's about it. You like?"
"Yeah. That's amazing, Gohan!" Goku said, "Now. Why don't we test it out?"
Gohan nodded and waited for his father to reach him. Goku was immediately knocked to the ground, making yet another whole in the ring. He got back up, and, using a kaio-ken, flew at his son.
Shockwaves were formed as the two immense powers collided. Now, the people who could keep up were reduced to 2: Vegeta and Piccolo.
Goku matched Gohan in strength, but he couldn't hold his power up much longer. (Maybe it's time to show him my newest trick,) he thought.
He let his kaio-ken dissipate, and said, "That attacks awesome, Gohan. I'm afraid we can test it very well wit me using a kaio-ken. But I've got something else to show you."
Gohan asked, "What would that be?"
Goku grinned and said, "You'll see." He clenched his fists, and let out a quiet grunt. Energy looking like electricity crackled around him as his gold aura exploded. The ground shook as the spectators, the announcer, and Gohan watched in awe.
Goku's hair glowed with eerie gold-white light as it grew longer, and his eyebrows disappeared. He let out a yell, not from pain, but effort. The bright light faded slightly, but a slightly less garish light remained around Goku.
Most of the Z fighters looked at Goku in amazement, while Gohan smirked.
"Very nice, Dad. I see you haven't wasted your time in Otherworld," Gohan commented.
"Think you can compete with a Super Saiyan 3?" Goku asked.
"I can try. Bring it on," Gohan replied.
Gohan tried hard, but his father easily overpowered him.
"Gohan, can't you do any better then this?" Goku asked in a taunting tone.
"I have a few other techniques to show you. Don't lose faith in me yet," Gohan retorted. He cupped his hands by his sides and they glowed with blue-white light.
(A Kamehameha wave? What good will that do him?) Goku thought.
"Kame...hame..." Gohan said slowly. Goku found out exactly what good it would do Gohan when his son disappeared from sight.
"HA!!!"
Gohan, now directly above Goku, shot the beam downward, and Goku hit the ring hard...or, what was left of it, at least.
Goku stood up, joining his son again. "How'd you do that?" he asked.
"I taught myself you Instant Transmission Technique," Gohan explained.
"You're full of surprises, son. But just so you know, I won't let that happen again," Goku said.
"I know," Gohan said. (Now...what next? Hey, I know,) he thought.
"Okay, Dad. Try this one on for size," Gohan said. He held both his hands up, forming 2 ki balls, one blue, one yellow. They were about the size of a baseball when he sent them toward his father.
Goku dodged, but when they went past him, they came right back. The blue one hit him, and his aura disappeared. "I can't move!" he said. The yellow one hit him, and bolts of electricity surrounded him. It wasn't actually shocking him; it was draining his energy.
He was on the verge of falling from 3 to 2, and Gohan said, "I can get rid of it, if you give up, Dad."
"Sorry...Gohan...I-don't give...up," Goku managed, clenching his fists. His aura returned, and he broke his invisible bonds.
Gohan said, "I didn't think you would. Oh well. It was worth a try."
"So. Any other new moves?" Goku asked.
"Well, just one, but I saved the best for last," Gohan replied. His energy steadily grew higher as the ground shook again, just like when Goku had powered up. His hair and eyebrows glowed even brighter than his golden energy. His hair grew longer, while his eyebrows disappeared.
Goku smirked, and thought, (I knew it! He broke the next level, too! Now this is the fight I've been waiting for.)
"So, how do you like this one? I wasn't sure if I could do it again after all these years," Goku said.
Now no one could keep up as the two fought. They matched each other perfectly.
After quite a bit of fighting, they stopped.
"Hey, Gohan, neither of us is gonna win like this. How 'bout a final energy wave?" Goku asked.
"Okay. But I'm gonna win, alright?" Gohan replied.
"Sure, Gohan. Sure," Goku said with a grin.
They flew apart, both making the classic stance we all know and love.
"Kame...ha...me..." The sons hands overflowed with energy. "HA!!!!"
The two beams hit each other, creating a shockwave, and sending the spectators sprawling on top of each other. The attacks weren't even as big as they could be, since Goku and Gohan didn't want to kill each other.
Goku used a Kaio-ken while Gohan used his own unique power-up, and they put out more energy, but stayed even.
(I sure hope Gohan can't use a higher level of that power-up. I don't think I should go past 50x, since I'm SS3, and I'm already at 45x,) Goku thought, pumping out more energy.
To his dismay, Gohan could power up more, and did. His Kamehameha pushed Goku back a few good feet, and the older Saiyan became dangerously close to hitting the stands.
"Times 50!" Goku shouted.
There was a tremendous explosion, and both Saiyans hurtled to the ground.
And that's where I'm stopping it! Evil, I know. But I'm just trying to build up the suspense, honest! Anyway: Who won the tournament? And will I ever write a chapter that's actually about the Buu Saga? Find out next time, on WIIHH!!!
