What If It Hadn't Happened

Chapter 12


Gohan only had to wait a few minutes fro Goku to come back, a very battle
damaged Vegeta and slightly worse Krillin in tow, hearing an enraged scream from Buu
moments later. Gohan helped Vegeta limp inside, while Goku half-carried Krillin.
Gohan set Vegeta down on one of the beds and rushed over to the door, closing it.


"Dende, what happens if Buu destroys the door?" Gohan asked as the Namek healed
Vegeta and Krillin.


"Don't worry. It is indestructible from the outside," Mr. Popo said in response.


"We've got to start training. I know we have six hours a minute, but Buu could destroy
Earth in that time," Goku pointed out.


"Okay, Dad." "Yes, Daddy." "Okay, sir." came the three half-Saiyans responses.


They all walked to the empty training area, hardly feeling the enhanced gravity. Vegeta, Piccolo, and Krillin joined them, just in case the fusions would need help.


After an hour of practice, Goku said, "Alright. I think we've got it down. Let's try an actual fusion. Goten, Trunks, align your energies, and you can fuse after Gohan and me. Gohan, you ready?"


Gohan nodded, walking a few feet away from Goku. The others stopped whatever they were doing, from training to playing cards to talking to (in Videl's case) keeping a close eye on a certain egg, to watch the first fusion attempt.


Putting their arms out to their sides in unison, the Sons said, "Fu..." They moved over three steps. "sion..." Their fingers touched. "HA!"


The room filled with bright white light, shrouding Goku and Gohan from view. The light faded away, and one Saiyan stood where two once were. He had unruly black hair, about the length of Goku's, with one spike in front of his eyes like Gohan's. He wore baggy white pants with a blue sash tied around his waist, black boots, and a black and yellow vest with no shirt underneath, revealing a perfectly muscled chest.


"It actually worked!" Krillin exclaimed, ending the silence that had fallen over them.


"So, um, do you have a name? Gohu, or, uh, Gohak or something?" Trunks asked.


"My name's Gokun," the new figure said in a voice that was really two voices, Goku's and Gohan's, speaking simultaneously.


"So, are you my dad, or my brother?" Goten asked.


"Neither, I guess. I'm a new person completely, with no relatives of any kind. But I guess I'm sorta both, in a way..." Gokun explained, confusing everyone.


"Um, okay...that didn't help at all," Trunks admitted.


Gokun laughed, rubbing the back of his head.


"I can tell you're incredibly strong, but are you strong enough to beat Buu?" Piccolo asked.


"I think so. I doubt I'll even have to go super to beat that blob," Gokun replied. He turned to Trunks and Goten and said, "Okay, boys, your turn."


The boys performed the fusion dance, and another new Saiyan was formed, calling himself Gotenks. Everyone stared, dumbstruck, at the...abnormal...fusion.


"Umm, I think Trunks blinked..."Gokun said.


"What? What is it?" Gotenks asked, obviously not noticing his large stomach.


"Um, you're fat," Oolong said simply.


Gotenks examined his arms and legs, finally noticing his...fusion defect.


"Oh, well. Guess they can try again later," Gokun said.


~Half an hour later~


Both fusions had worn off, and they were now waiting around for an hour to be up, so they could fuse again.


Gohan found Videl sitting on one of the beds, the egg in her hands.


He sat down next to her and said, "Hey, what's up?"


Videl looked up at him, managing a weak smile as she said, "Hey. Not much, I guess. I feel bad, though. I shouldn't have egged Buu on like that."


Gohan wrapped an arm around her and said, "Don't worry about it. We'll have my mom back in no time. Gokun'll take care of it."


"Chi-Chi's always been so nice to me...well, not counting that little argument we had when we first met...But she's almost like a second mother to me," Videl pointed out.


"Hey, don't let yourself think it was your fault. I thought the whole Dad-dying-at-the-Cell Games thing was my fault, and I suffered for 7 years because of it," Gohan said. He kissed Videl's cheek, taking the egg from her.


"we'll have you back in no time, Mom...I can't believe I'm talking to an egg..." Gohan muttered, earning a small laugh from Videl.


"Maybe if we get a hen to sit on it, it'll hatch into Mom?" Gohan wondered, making Videl giggle again.


"Now that's the Videl I know and love," Gohan continued.


An hour passed by, and Goten and Trunks gave another go on the fusion, this time doing it correctly.


Gotenks flexed his muscles, showing off big time.


"Look at this perfect body! And my awesome hair! Am I cool or what?" the fused Saiyan bragged.


Goku and Gohan sighed, doing the fusion again to make sure they had it down.


It was a good thing, too, because l few minutes after Gokun was formed again, Gotenks took off toward the door, eager to fight Buu.


Gokun grabbed the back of his vest and said, "You're not strong enough, Gotenks. You need to train, while I go fight Buu. You wouldn't even stand a chance against the original Buu right now."


He released Gotenks, who's shoulders slumped in disappointment.


"Now, Gotenks, you're going to keep on training until Piccolo and Vegeta think you're strong enough," Gokun said. He left the room without another word, trying not to waste fusion time.


It had only been a few hours in the time chamber, so it had only been about half a minute outside. They found Buu in the process of blowing up the lookout, trying to find his opponents.


"It's finally time for your fight, Buu," Gokun said loudly.


Buu looked up and asked, "Who are you?"


"I'm Gokun, the fusion between Goku and Gohan," Gokun replied.


"If you think this 'fusion' is going to help you, you're wrong. I will still defeat you," Buu said confidently.


"Bring it on, then," Gokun said, flying upward, away from the lookout.


Buu followed, charging him right away. Gokun held out a fist, and Buu flew right into it, his face hitting Gokun's fist.


"Hey, your face hit my fist! You should apologize," Gokun said. Buu growled and charged him again. Gokun smirked, ducking under the punch Buu threw, hitting Buu in the stomach with his own punch, making the pink thing gasp for breath.


"I don't understand it...how could you be so strong? Goku and Gohan were weaklings!" Buu exclaimed.


"That's my little secret," Gokun replied as he blasted Buu in half with one attack. Buu reformed himself, screaming in rage as he powered up. Gokun shielded his eyes from the blinding light Buu was emitting. Buu finished powering up, his power now higher than Gokun's.


"I'm fairly impressed. But is that all you power? If it is, you've got problems," Gokun said. A bright white aura flared around him as he powered up. He was nowhere near going Super, but his power dwarfed Buu's.


He made another assault on what he now treated as a pink punching bag.


Holding Buu up by the neck, Gokun said, "As I'm sure you remember, you turned the wife and mother of my two parts into an egg. I would appreciate it if you turned her back to normal."


"Make me," Buu said in a raspy voice. Gokun squeezed Buu's neck tighter and said, "Gladly." Buu pulled desperately at Gokun's hands, having no luck.


"Buu, I'll ask nicely once. Please turn Chi-Chi back to normal," Gokun said.


"I won't do it!" Buu replied. Gokun kneed Buu in the stomach then elbowed him in the back of the head. He grabbed Buu's antenna, spinning Buu around and around. He let go, and Buu fell the miles to the ground, Gokun following.


The fused Saiyan threw ki blast after ki blast at the crater Buu was in, tearing the alien to shreds. He watched as Buu pulled himself together slowly, joining him in the air again.


"Buu, I'll give you one last chance to turn Chi-Chi back to normal. If you don't, I'll kill you," Gokun warned.


Buu once again declined Gokun's generous offer, so Gokun held up a hand, sending three ki rings at Buu. One binding his legs together, one clamping his arms to his sides, the last one surrounding the tip of his antenna.


Gokun grabbed Buu's neck, pulling him upward as he flew back to the tower. He sped up, realizing he only had 10 minutes of his fusion left. He reached the tower, dragging the struggling Buu behind him as he walked to the training chamber.


He opened the door, sticking his head in.


"Hey, guys, long time no see...Videl, could you bring me the egg, please?" he asked.


Videl walked over, carrying the egg, still in perfect condition, even after the month in the chamber.


"Thanks," Gokun said, taking the egg. He dropped Buu, putting the egg in plain sight. He dropped Buu, powering up an energy blast in one hand, the egg in the other.


"Now, if I let you use your power, do you promise to turn her back? Remember, if you don't..." Gokun trailed off, moving the energy closer to Buu's face.


Buu nodded, actually scared of Gokun. Gokun let the ki ring around Buu's antenna fade, and it glowed with a pink light. Buu sent it toward the Chi-Chi egg, and in a flash, she was back to normal.


"Chi-Chi, I'm Gokun, Gohan and Goku fused," Gokun began, cutting off Buu's power again. "You may not know what I'm talking about, but I need you to tell Gotenks to get ready to fight, even if he's not strong enough yet. Tell everyone else to come outside, too."


Chi-Chi nodded wordlessly, eager to get away from Buu. She ran back inside, and Gokun said, "It's time for you to die, Buu."



What's Gokun's plan? Will he be able to pull it of before his fusion wears off? Find out in the next chapter of WIIHH?!


In the next chapter: "Gotenks, hold Buu off until I can finish this thing!"
