YAY!!! I can finally get on the Internet! Hip, hip, Hooray! I read your
reviews and while I'm glad you're reviewing, it seems a few of you don't
have any faith in me! I know, the last few chapters were a bit corny, but
it gets a whole lot better in the end (or at least I think so), just stick
with me. I had to put this stuff down to make the ending better than all
the rest. I'm serious, I wrote down the last chapter because I couldn't
wait and I started to cry (which I never do), it's REALLY sad! Anyway, this
chapter and the next are muye importante so pay close attention, I tried to
make it least confusing as possible.

Chapter 11; Knowledge Will Clash, Powers Combine
~A/N: Now I'm switching back to the first person of Elizabeth. It's as simple as that.~
I woke up from an exhausted sleep to find my energy new and pure. I sat up and heard Gohan ask if he was dead, jerking me away from every other thought in my mind.
"No Gohan. We are the planet of the kais." Replied Shin softly.
I looked at Gohan; he was wearing the same outfit as Shin and Kibbito! I looked at my own clothes and saw Goku's gi was renewed without any gashes or grime.
Slightly embarrassed, I felt my cheeks turn a light shade of pink, a weakness I hated most. How would I tell Gohan? Maybe he just wouldn't notice.
"Why are you wearing the same gi as my dad?" Gohan asked shattering my hopes.
"Uh, I, well," I stuttered then sighed, "I had to wear something that I could run in and fit me better than your mom's dress. I'm sorry Gohan. With everyone against me and little time to get where I needed to, I wasn't thinking all that clearly."
Both Shin and Kibbito looked a bit taken back as I finished, "So I was right." Shin breathed.
I felt more embarrassed than ever, but then another thought came into my mind. I sprung up onto my feet feeling a bit excited.
"Gohan I have to tell you something I figured out about the poem!" I blurted out.
"I already know." He said calmly as he stood up.
"Oh, but-"
"'Knowledge will clash,'"
"Of course!"
"Excuse me for interrupting, but what might you be speaking of?" Shin asked.
I blushed, "Oh, I, forgot you were there! I'm sorry! So, this is your planet? Pretty nice." I said changing the subject.
"Yes, it is my favorite out of all the others." Shin responded, forgetting the previous conversation.
"Gohan, I want to show you something," Shin said forgetting about me, "but it's a bit of a ways. We best fly there."
"Okay." Gohan replied.
They floated off the ground and began to take off when they stopped.
"Oh!" exclaimed Gohan, "What about Elizabeth?" and turned back to me.
"Gohan," I said a bit excited, "'powers combine.'" and looked him in the eye while hovering a few inches off the ground.
~*~
We flew together, but I knew they were all hanging back because my flying abilities were not yet improved. Gohan stayed by my side the whole time.
"Gohan," I whispered, "you know everything?"
"I think so." He whispered back.
"So when I was dying,"
"You and I both,"
"Were thinking the same thoughts,"
"And wishing the same wish."
"'A wish you both made,'"
"'Now you'll both wish that you both stayed.'"
"So, our switching had to do with Earth's fate; Earth's future?"
"How is that?"
"I think it has to do with this 'Knowledge will clash, powers combine' thing."
"So, like, are you going to help us with powers of your own?"
"I don't know," I admitted, "for some reason, I keep thinking my past has to do with all of this, and that light, that voice, this necklace." I said holding the necklace in my palm.
"Light? Voice?" he asked.
"Something brought me here, it wasn't myself, or any wish," I sighed frustrated, "I wish I could remember!"
"Remember what?"
"My past! Haven't you been listening?"
"You mean like, before you came here?"
"No, before that, way before that. There has to be something before the snow, the darkness; my mother. It's all so blurred! Like I haven't recalled the memory for too long and it's being erased very slowly."
He looked at me strangely, but I ignored him, I had to think!
"We're here." Shin announced landing on a circle-shaped cliff.
There was a small landing space, but we all made it. In the middle of the rock was a sword. I gasped as I looked at the end, a jewel, one identical to my necklace! I covered my mouth and only stared at it wide-eyed.
"Elizabeth," Shin said, "is something the matter?"
"That, jewel, it's," I stopped, no words came to my mind.
"What? The one on the handle of the sword?" Shin asked.
"Yes, it, has, something, to do with, me, my past! I know it does, I remember it, I remember, seeing it, touching it, my father," I stopped again; what was I saying? My father?
I didn't have a father! But of course I did, and a mother too, a real mother, but, it was all taken away, it was....was what? I couldn't remember anymore and clung to the thoughts while I still could.
Scraps of my past, my real past, I had to figure out this puzzle. Piece by piece I would solve it, but so many pieces to recover, I needed a push, one greater than the one I had just received.
"The Z sword," I informed, "it is the Z sword and it must be pulled out. There is someone meant to pull it out, it must be done."
I stepped forward, "And that someone will be me." I said grasping the handle with my right hand only.
"There's no way, you could never, not even I nor the Supreme Kai could pull it out, there is no chance for a mere human!" Kibbito said, I could tell he did not like me at all.
So what's new? Everyone in the world is against me and I must fight alone. Fight, that's a funny word, and one that I would use often. I took the hurtful words Kibbito had said and fed them to the flames of my soul, making me want, even need so much more to pull out this sword.
I took a strong grip and thought about the jewel, was I right? Would the sword collaborate with me, my necklace? I hoped so, I had faith in it, I prayed, then, I pulled. The sword easily slid out of the rock and Kibbito and Shin were so overwhelmed they only stared.
A single thought pierced through my mind, a message was more like it, and I was forced to listen and heed its alarm.
"Gohan," I said, obeying the message I had received, "it is not my destiny to take up the sword, it is your future to master it."
"Who? Me?" he asked looking around.
"Yes Gohan." I said holding the sword out to him.
He hesitated, then took hold of the hand below my own hand. I let go and Gohan was pulled down with the sword. His fingers were pressed against the rock, but he managed to bring it up after he used both hands and turned Super Saiyan.
"It was not my destiny nor my strength which pulled it out, it was my necklace. The jewels came together, excepting me and allowing me to lift it, but it is your destiny and your strength that will allow you to take charge." I informed him.
"Your necklace?" he managed to question through clenched teeth, still struggling to lift up the sword.
"Yes, don't ask me how or where I got it, because I don't know myself."
"Right." He replied quickly.
We flew back to our previous spot and I told Gohan he'd better start training if he wanted to master the sword before Buu destroyed the planet. While he took to the sword, I began experimenting on what powers I had and how far I could stretch them.
By the end of ten hours we had both worked so hard that Gohan could hold and maneuver the sword without difficulty and I had increased my speed ten times over. I could disappear and reappear, but not very quickly, and my energy blasts were increasingly stronger and came at full speed.
I think creating and launching energy balls was the easiest for me. I almost enjoyed creating a strong blast, send it upward, then just barely beat it and absorb the energy. Then again, flying was most enjoyable as well. Soaring through skies, then bursting through clouds so fast they leave a trail from where you've been.
Goku had come, I saw from a distance up in the sky. Now this was both good and bad; first off, how was it that I would explain I stole one of his gis? But then, he was kind of cool, in a really powerful I-could-break-your-neck- if-I-wanted-to sort of way.
Maybe I would just stay up here; maybe not. I sighed and let myself fall, slowing down and landing in a crouch on the soft grass.
"Oh, dad," Gohan said seeing me, "this is Elizabeth. Elizabeth, this is my dad."
"Hi Elizabeth!" he said in a cheery voice.
"Hello Goku." I replied in a less enthusiastic manner.
He looked at me as if he were confused, "Hey," he said, "you're wearing what I'm wearing!" he exclaimed.
"Hey dad," Gohan said before I had a chance to explain, "I'll tell you about it later okay?"
"Uh, sure son." He replied.
And the day went on with Gohan training and Goku watching him proudly, occasionally giving him a hand or making it harder.
"Hey son!" Goku called out, "why don't we put that sword to the test?" and picked up the large boulder he had been sitting on.
Gohan took a batter's stance and just as Goku was about to throw the rock Shin stopped him.
"Why don't you try this." He said and raised his hands.
The stone disappeared and a large cube of a solid black replaced it.
"Hey, what is this stuff?" Goku asked.
"It's called Qualm, it's the hardest substance in the universe." Shin replied.
"Huh," Goku said tapping it, "Qualm."
"Okay, here I go!" and he threw it hard towards Gohan.
The tip of the sword stopped the block, but only a split second later did the sword brake and the Qualm flew past Gohan's head and into the ground.
Everyone starred, "Tell me what just happened didn't happen!" exclaimed Shin.
"It happened, it really did, the sword has snapped in two!" replied Kibbito, still in shock.
Goku laughed nervously, "I guess they don't call it the strongest in the universe for nothing!" he said.
I was the most shocked of all; I had no idea anything like this would have occurred! I felt dizzy and faint, was there any hope now with the sword in two pieces?
~*~
Ya, I know, I know corny place to end it, but I swear everything will be better in the end. I was going to stop a long time ago, but I felt that you guys needed to see more. Responding to a review, I know! The Gohan switching bodies with a girl and doing nothing about it is kind of off, but come on people I rated this PG-13 for a little cussing, not sex or gay people! Jeez. Give me a break, no story is going to be the best in the world you know! I'm only 13, it's not my living, and I'm seriously not that worried. Give me some credit here! Man, you guys make it look like I'm supposed to be perfect!
