Chapter 4 I do not own any of the DragonballZ characters (The flash's are flashbacks) "Daddy!" Gohan shouted with joy as he ran to his father. Goku smiled, "Come here Gohan!" Gohan laughed then tripped on a rock. (Flash) "Goku are you babysitting?" "He's mine," Goku said proudly. Master Roshi fell down stunned, "Goku, you have a son?" "I can't believe it, Gohan's playing paper, rock, scissors with a crab," Goku thinks while laughing.(Flash) "Hey dad!", Gohan called. Goku looked in wonder at how tall and strong his son had become since he was gone in heaven.(Flash) "AAAAhhhh", Gohan's screams as he gets slammed into the ground by Majin Buu.(Flash) "He's really swinging that sword!", Goku thinks as Gohan swings the Z sword like it were a stick.(Flash) Gohan grinning at him, "So dad, What's it like being a super saiyan 3?"(Flash) The screams of pain as Goku flies to help his son.(Flash) Gohan's dead unseeing eyes staring up at Goku.(Flash) (Flash) "Gohan!!!", Goku screamed in the white light. "I'm dead again, I'm in heaven. Any minute now I'm going to be awoken by King Kai. Any minute now," Goku thought. "Goku?" Dende's voice amidst a whirl of thoughts and other voices spinning in his head. Dende's reassuring voice, "Eat this Goku, it's a sensu bean, quickly." "Someone's putting something in my mouth, I should eat it," Goku thinks. Then the other voices were gone, and he could see Dende and Mr. Popo bending over him. Goku winced as he sat up. "I remember where I am now, I'm at the lookout," he stated. Dende smiled, "Yes, that's right, how do you feel?" "We'll see," Goku said starting to stand up. "AAAhh," he yelled, his knees buckling. "What's wrong with my legs Dende? And where's Vegeta?" "Vegeta's alive Goku," Mr. Popo said, "But you're not in very good condition." Dende turned angry, "Hush Popo!" "I'm sorry Master!" Popo shrunk back. "Hey, what's going on?" Goku looked puzzled. "I don't feel too bad, in fact I feel pretty good." Dende lowered his head, while Popo walked out of the room so they could talk alone. "Goku," he started. "What?" Goku asked again. "Well, do you know who it was who you battled against?" Goku shook his head. "It was Yoshin Mez, a most feared bounty hunter that has never been defeated. He was presumed dead because of his age, but I know you can still live after 400 years." Goku's jaw dropped, "400 years! I was almost killed by a 400 year old bounty hunter?" "Please Goku listen to me," Dende continued. "From the knowledge that Kami has passed on to me, The blast he hit you with was the venomous viper ball. It may sound silly, and a bit dramatic, but it's deadly to anyone it touches except for the attacker. You're dying Goku, even at this very moment, and there's nothing I can do for you." Goku just replied, "But Dende, I've died before, I'm not afraid of it. And besides, no matter how strong this Mez guy is Vegeta and Gotenks could beat him for sure!" Dende shook his head. "How do you know this though Goku? Would you risk their lives on a hunch? The world needs you Goku. Vegeta was almost slain without you, and think of Gohan!" Goku's face hardened. "How long do I have." "2 days," Dende said grimacing. Goku sighed. He missed Gohan. He missed Chi-Chi, Krillin, Bulma, even Vegeta. Why did they have to attack Mez so blindly? Why didn't they make some kind of plan? "Gohan," Goku thought. He suddenly realized why. Hate, a fury never felt before. Even fighting Majin Buu and Frieza he hadn't felt that much anger. Videl had mentioned dinner after a long day of training, just for fun. Gohan had gone to the stream to catch some fish. Sunny day, chirping birds, nothing to suspect danger. Except for Iccuris, who wouldn't come out of his house. Now I know why, it seems only animals can sense his power level, that'' why the forest was so silent! Gohan at the stream, the blast's heard over the hill. "I wasn't fast enough!" The sky turning red and Gohan's screams of pain! "You should have been there to protect him!" The stream's water turned red from the blood of his son. "You can get revenge!" The mark of a serpent on the ground. "You can get revenge!" "AAAAAAAAhhhhh!!!!!", Goku screamed in anguish holding his head. The walls around him cracked as Goku ascended to super saiyan . Dende was thrown back through the door just as Popo returned. Super Saiyan 3. "Revenge," Goku screamed as his hair turned back to a golden orange glow. The air itself was flung up into the sky and the room exploded as Goku ascended to the highest level of Super Saiyan. Super Saiyan 5! Goku stood there in rage as his body crackled with energy. His palms emitted a purple light and Goku shot a Super Kamehameha into the air. He pulled in huge gasps of air while he closed his hands into fists. The lookout was falling to pieces, Goku's hair was flowing longer, and longer, down to his ankles. "Revenge!!!!!!", he bellowed, then he fell to his knees, his hair returning to it's usual black, super saiyan 5 lost. He fell on his face thinking only of Gohan and training. "Gohan, King Kai," then he fell into a tortured sleep as Mr. Popo got to work surveying the damage.
