A/n: Okay I'm not going to have anytime to write anything tomorrow up
through Sunday night so I'm going to write this chapter now, then you'll
have to wait about 4-5 days for the next one. Also, here's something I
haven't been doing. Also this chapter is going to have a song in it. ENJOY!

Morning Star
I saw a star beneath the stairs glowing through the melting walls. Who will be the first to begin their fall? Or will we become one?
Piccolo gazed upon his meditating, former pupil. He knew that Gohan was about to go through the toughest thing in his life. He knew Gohan was scarred, even if he would never show it he knew that he was scarred. He had always been so great at masking his emotions. He remembered back to when he first trained Gohan. Gohan hadn't been very fond of him right away, but Piccolo knew that he must train him. Piccolo knew that Gohan had great potential, a potential that could make him the strongest of them all. He had demonstrated that when he had attacked Radditz. He remembered how he and Gohan grew close. How he started being protective of the boy. How he began to help in out in little ways, like giving him an apple when he had nothing to eat. He then realized how much the boy truly meant to him, and what was at stake if he was to lose.
Am I the star beneath the stairs? Am I a ghost upon the stage? Am I your anything?
Gohan stared at the inside of his eyelids, gazing into his mind. He had always been told he was strong. He was always told that he could be great. But was he really? Was this what he really wanted to be? Some physco maniac who went around and killed his so-called friends? He reflected on his life. He thought about his father. His father, the one that was supposed to be the greatest warrior in the entire universe. His father, who helped kill Frieza. He loved his father, he loved him a lot. But there was something about him that always made Gohan feel uneasy. It was as if whenever Goku looked at him, he was judging him.
'Dad.' Gohan thought in his head, 'What am I to you dad? Am I just some weapon to be used? Am I someone who you love until I become unworthy? Am I anything to you dad?' Gohan knew the answers, but he still pondered.
I saw a star beneath the stairs glowing bright before descent and in the morning there is nothing left, but what's inside of me
Gohan reflected on his own life. He remembered all the major battles he had had. The fight against Vegeta, the battle on Namek in which his life had been changed forever, Garlic Jr., the Androids, and Cell. He thought about how he had always gained a greater power when it was needed, but then he always lost it at the end. Against Vegeta he gained the power of the Ozarru (sp?) but then he passed out when it left. Against Frieza he had gained the power of the super saiyan, but he had almost died, if it wasn't for the immortality, when it left him. Against Cell he had achieved super saiyan level 3, but when that left him he was so drained of energy that he couldn't even protect himself. 'And whenever I wake up,' Gohan said inside his mind, 'I'm back to the old me.'
And I don't want to die tonight; will you believe in me? And I don't want to fall into the light
Gohan decided. He had to do it. Even if he had a very little chance at defeating them, he had to at least try. If he didn't he wouldn't die, no he would suffer a fate much worse then that. He would be sent back to the HTC. Gohan opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings. Over to his left Piccolo was meditating by a tree. To his right he saw Trunks and Goten playing some game that resembled a mix between tag and 'let's see who can hit each other the hardest'. 'Will they believe in me? I need them too. I need all the support I can get. I need someone to believe in me, even if it isn't myself.' Gohan then pondered his last idea. Should he try to reason with them? Should he give up and beg for mercy? 'NO! I WILL NEVER DO THAT' He screamed in his head. 'I will not join them. I will NEVER give up!'
Will you wish upon? Will you walk upon me? I don't want to die tonight
Gohan then thought of something he had really hoped would never happen. What if he lost? Would they wish upon him to go back to the HTC? Or would they show mercy and give him another chance. Well they didn't really cut it. Gohan knew that Vegeta would want him to go back right away. All he had left was to pray his dad would show mercy. But what if he did? Would he just ignore me? Would he walk upon me as if I were nothing. He might show mercy, but he might not show forgiveness.
'I don't want to...' Tears began to slide down Gohan's cheeks, even if he was older then time could tell, he still felt like a 11-year-old. He had been forced to grow up alone, not knowing a real life. But if he went back again it would be even worse. Because now if he went back he knew he would be leaving Goten, where as before he didn't even know he had a little brother. 'I don't want to fight. I don't want to. What if I lose? What if they defeat me? I don't want to....' Gohan knew that his wants didn't matter, and that shortly his 24 hours would be up. He looked at Goten for one last time, praying to Kami that it wouldn't be the VERY last time. He then turned and walked inside his house. He laid in bed where he waited. After about an hour he finally went to sleep....
***END!*** a/n: Why is Gohan so afraid that he will lose now? What did Piccolo tell him that made him afraid? Also I hope that at least one of you can guess who sang that song! Okay on to trivia.
Okay last chapters question EVERYBODY got wrong. It might have been the way I worded it but I thought I actually said this one right. For those of you that said Gohan didn't die, he did. He didn't die at the same time the others died, but he still lost his life at the hands of the androids. Also, I don't count Bulma as one of the Z-Warriors, since she never fights. Okay the order was: Piccolo, Vegeta, Yamcha, Tien, Krillin, and finally Gohan. The only warrior that didn't die was Chatzou (sp?) Never in the movie do they say that he dies. Okay now on to the next trivia question (It should be a whole lot easier.)
Question: Why does Master Roshi never age, and who is his sister? Also, this is completely disregarding anything that has to do with DBZ, who sings the song Morning Star?
Well please leave your answers in a review, and tell me what you think of this chapter or story in general.
