Another chapter out for POC. This story isn't doing so bad right now. Vegeta's reaction, gotta read to know.

Everyone followed Gohan to the fountain he was looking at earlier. Milo and Moy were right behind Gohan and seemed pretty happy having their prince back. Goku was still lost at the whole Gohan being a price thing and Vegeta was just plain mad.

' I will not believe this,' Vegeta thought to himself as he saw Milo and Moy talking to Gohan. ' He cannot be a prince, I am a prince! Prince Syrus has to be me and not that son of a third class baka! Those two must be mistaken that brat for me. There will be hell to pay!'

Goku noticed Vegeta seemed quite angry at the whole thing. He tried to give Vegeta a reassuring smile but he got an evil glare in return. Goku turned his attention back to Gohan and tried to hear what he was talking about with Milo and Moy. He couldn't hear anything so he walked closer.

" So then I had to fight this creature named Majin Buu after I pulled out the Z sword from the stone," Gohan said as he walked. " I had it easy at first until he absorb Gotenks and Piccolo. I was later absorbed because he was too powerful for me. But my dad defeated the evil Majin Buu with a Spirit Bomb and Earth was in peace again. When I got back to school everyone, expect the teachers, knew I was Saiyaman."

' I guess he's telling them about his life,' Goku thought with a smile. ' I guess Milo and Moy actually liked their prince. I wonder what kind of prince Gohan was? I bet he was super nice and super strong. I wonder if we are ever going to meet prince Syrus?'

' Wow my brother the prince,' Goten thought following next to his father. ' I wonder if that will make me a second prince? But Gohan was a prince in a different time and what if I was a prince in a different time? Dad could also be a prince but then we can all be princes and who won't be a prince if...aw I'm confused!'

' My dad seems pretty steamed,' Trunks said following Vegeta. ' I guess he thought he was the prince. Well, it's not fair that he's a prince of two planets and I'm not a prince of any. Serves him right...But I wanted to be a prince!'

They made it to the dried up water fountain and stopped right in front of it. Gohan looked over at his reflection and saw the same thing he saw earlier, a different him. The others gathered to see what was wrong with Gohan's reflection and gasped at what they saw.

It was Gohan but in different clothing. He had on a white robe and a white hood that was a foot long. His bang still showed but the outline of the hood was gold. Gohan pointed at his reflection and the reflection pointed back.

" See," Gohan said. " It's different."

Goku stared at the reflection and back at Gohan. It was different because it was-

" Prince Syrus," Milo said with a smile. " I knew it was you. The Fountain of Truth shows the truth behind your past. Only those who had another past will have a different reflection."

Goku and the others look at their reflections and frowned.

" It's just us," Goku said with a pout. " I guess we weren't important in the past."

" I'm just as important as any of you," Vegeta yelled as he looked at Gohan. " You are not a prince brat. You're just a low class saiyan! I want to see this ' great prince' in person right now!"

" I don't think that's possible Vegeta," Goku said trying to calm him down. " The prince died a long time ago. He might not even be in Gohan."

" But he is," Moy said. " We can awaken him if you want."

" Would that make Gohan the prince for life," Goten asked. " Is he gonna stay the prince?"

" Of course not," Milo said putting his hand on Goten's shoulder. " He will only be Prince Syrus for a short time. It's not permanent young one."

" Good cause I like Gohan the way he is."

" Me too," Gohan said pulling away from his reflection. " But how are you going to awaken him if he never awoken before?"

" There's two ways," Milo said taking his hand off of Goten's shoulder. " Prince Syrus can either awaken on his own from you or we can awaken him with our powers."

" What's going to happen to me?"

" You might not notice what happened or what's going on. We really can't tell you since we really don't know."

" But what if Prince Syrus stays out and Gohan is locked in," Goku asked standing next to Gohan. Gohan nodded in agreement. " Can you make Gohan come back out if he's trapped?"

" Prince Syrus is much stronger than Milo and I combined," Moy said. " He may want to be set free but knowing our prince and how he feels about others, he might go back for another long rest. I assure you, Gohan will still be Gohan after the prince awakens. Would you rather have Prince Syrus awaken on his own Gohan?"

" How can he," Gohan asked. " Does he just pop out or something?"

" I'm sure something can trigger his awakening. It's your body and part of your soul."

" Part?"

" Yes part," Milo said with a nod. " But you lived your life as who you are. Prince Syrus lived his in the past but you are living the present. He will be with you until you die and his soul will finally rest."

" Can the soul of Prince Syrus leave Gohan," Trunks asked. " That can make his soul rest peacefully and can leave Gohan alone."

" If part of his soul is gone then he would not be the same," Milo answered. " Prince Syrus is part of Gohan. They will never be separated and if that should happen, then Gohan would be changed permanently."

" So both Gohan and Syrus souls are one," Goku said. " But Gohan does most of the controlling of his body and feelings?"

" Yes," Moy answered. " And when Prince Syrus is out then he would control the body and feelings. Since Prince was born within Gohan the prince cannot control Gohan unless Gohan releases the prince inside of him."

" I want the damn prince out," Vegeta yelled. That got everyone's attention. " How strong is he? Is he stronger than the saiyan race?"

" Within Gohan's body and Gohan's energy, he could be more powerful than you," Moy said. Vegeta got fumed with the idea and punched Gohan in-between his eyes. Gohan went flying back and landed hard on the ground.

" That hurt," Gohan cried rubbing the spot Vegeta hit him. " What did you do that for?"

" I want him out," Vegeta yelled picking Gohan up by the collar. " Come out you coward! Fight like the prince you really are, the Prince of Cowards!"

" Vegeta stop," Goku yelled. " Hitting Gohan will not bring out the prince!"

" Yes it will," Vegeta cried hitting Gohan in the stomach. Gohan fell to the ground holding his stomach. " If that prince wants Gohan to live then he will come out!"

Vegeta kicked Gohan once again and he went flying on the ground. Gohan got up wiping the blood off of the corner of his lip. Vegeta powered up and punched Gohan once again but Gohan was prepared this time. He blocked the punch with one hand and punched Vegeta in the nose. Vegeta pulled back for a moment and attacked once again.

(My first kinda real fight scene. Punching and kicking included!)

" This is crazy," Goku said powering up. " I'm stopping this!"

Milo put his hand on Goku's shoulder.

" Let them," he said. " I'm sure if he gets Gohan angry enough then the prince can come out. Please wait."

" Vegeta can kill my son!"

" Prince Syrus will not allow that," Moy said. " If Gohan has powers beyond a super saiyan then I know that he cannot be killed by Vegeta."

" How.."

" We watch Goku, we have to. Someone has to make sure our prince stays alive."

Goku stared in a bit of shock and turned his back towards the fight. Vegeta was in regular form so Goku knew that the battle wasn't that intense. Gohan wasn't in his Mystic form either so the fight was only for Prince Syrus to come out.

Vegeta nailed Gohan to the ground and jumped back from him. Gohan was slowly getting up and barely made it to his knees.

" If he doesn't come out," Vegeta said powering up to super saiyan. " Then you are a dead saiyan Gohan. It was nice to know you."

" Vegeta no," Goku cried but Milo and Moy were holding him back. " Let me go! He's going to kill my son!"

" He will be fine," Milo said. " Trust us."

Goku growled in frustration. He didn't want his son to be killed and if Milo and Moy were wrong, not one very happy Goku that's for sure.

Gohan stood up straight as Vegeta fired his attack.

" Gohan," Goku cried but there were no explosions. Goku watched Vegeta fire his attack and Gohan protecting himself with a shield. He was standing up perfectly straight with his arms close to his sides. He was watching the attack being blocked by the barrier but something was different about him.

" He has awakened," Moy said letting go of Goku.

Goku only watched as the attacked died down and noticed Vegeta in a bit of shock. Gohan wasn't damaged and stood there. Vegeta put his hand down and laughed.

" You are not going to protect yourself with a puny barrier," Vegeta said. " My Final Flash will easily destroy you and the puny prince inside of you. What are you going to do now, run home to your mommy?"

Gohan just stood there and extended out his hand. Vegeta got into his fighter's stance and watched as a small ki blast formed in his hands. The ki extended out into a pole like form but the tip formed into a circle. It turned into a gold pole with a clear crystal on the top. Vegeta stood there confused but then realized that the awakening of Prince Syrus was here.

" Is that all," Vegeta said putting his hands on his hips. " Just a baton to save your life with a dinky little crystal on the top? Please, I've seen better come out of a flower."

" Have you," Gohan said in a deeper voice. His face was serious as he spoke. " I've seen more power from water than I have from you."

" Why you little."

" I do not like disrespect towards me or my followers. You wanted me awake, you have me awake!"

Gohan began to glow as new clothes began to form on his body. Goku and the two chibi's watched as Gohan began to become Prince Syrus in a transformation of a lifetime. It was bright all around and then suddenly became normal. There stood Prince Syrus in a long white robe that barely covered his feet. He had on white boots similar to Piccolo shoes and a white shirt that showed the upper part of his chest. His sleeves came up to his wrist as he held his scepter tightly in his right hand.

" Wow," Goten said with his mouth opened. " Is that really Gohan?"

" It's Prince Syrus," Milo said with a big smile.

" No way," Goku said with his eyes wide. " It can't be. If he's Prince Syrus then where's Gohan?"

" Are you happy now," Prince Syrus asked not even cracking a smile. " I have awoken from the depths of this body and the look on your face shows complete and utter shock. I am out now and all you can do is stand there like a fool."

" I'm going to pound you to pieces," Vegeta yelled getting into a fighter's stance. " You have hidden inside the wrong prince buddy! That weak fool you have hidden yourself in is a wimp! You could have had power in my body!"

" I have no need for your body," Prince Syrus said walking up to Vegeta. " I wanted a person who is not like you and treats people like yesterdays trash. I disgrace people like you."

" You won't be saying that when I pound your nose into your face!"

Vegeta swung a punch but Prince Syrus caught it with ease. Vegeta used his other hand and swung it at Prince Syrus's stomach. The prince used his scepter to block that attack and Vegeta stood there frozen. Prince Syrus moved back as Vegeta stood there paralyzed.

" Can't move," Prince Syrus said walking around him. " Pity. A person with your power should be able to fight that kind of power I have on you. I guess you're not as strong as you say."

" Why I should," Vegeta tried to say as he tried to break free.

" You won't. I have enough power on you to keep you paralyzed for a few hours now. And I thought you were the Prince of all saiyans."

Vegeta tried powering up to kill the guy but none of his power came. He couldn't move any part of his body even if he tried. Prince Syrus walked up towards Milo and Moy and stopped right in front of them. They bowed.

" It has been a long time Prince Syrus," Milo said. " Welcome home."

" We have missed you," Moy said.

" I have missed home and my people," Prince Syrus said. " Please do not bow in front of me. You know I don't like it when you two do that."

" Yes Prince Syrus."

" Now why is my kingdom destroyed and my people parishes? Most importantly, why was I reborn in another body and not have died with my people?"

" We thought you would be ashamed in front of your people," Milo said. " We knew that you wanted your people proud and not suffer the same fate as your late parents."

" But I have."

" There was a traitor among us," Moy said. " It was the chief that poisoned your wine. We have found out after he escaped. We wanted you to live a life without war or battles and have a childhood you never had. We also wanted you as a prince so you knew what your duties were and if you ever remembered, you could return. Sadly though, the person we have chosen you with had neither of that besides the royal blood. We have watched the child known as Gohan grow and watched every battle he fought. He was raised strong, wise, and brave. Just like you prince."

" I would have rather died," Prince Syrus said. " I wouldn't feel ashamed in front of my people. They know me for what I do for them. They would never think different of me. They didn't when I was a kid and they wouldn't now." He sighed. " But what's done is done I guess. We can't change the past no matter how hard we try."

Prince Syrus turned his attention to Goku and Goten.

" Am I a prince too," Goten asked. " Are you really Gohan? Is Gohan inside of you? Are your parents the same as mine? How old are you? What happened to your kingdom? What happened to my brother? Is Gohan coming back? Do you have food?"

" Goten shhh," Goku said quieting Goten. " You don't need to ask so many questions at once. Only do a few at a time. Where is Gohan? Are you really a prince? Did you watch what was going on but not controlling it? Why is this planet here? How did you not become Gohan anymore? Does Gohan see what we are doing? How did you freeze Vegeta like that?"

" Daddy now you're asking too many questions!"

" I only asked a few."

" One less than your son," Prince Syrus said. " I will only answer a few of the questions cause too many will be hard to explain. Come, we shall dine while I answer some questions."

" You can't leave me here," Vegeta yelled. " When I break free you will be the first one I will kill Prince Syrus!"

Prince Syrus turned around and aimed his scepter at Vegeta. His crystal began to glow and aimed a silver beam at Vegeta. It stopped and Vegeta moved. The first thing he did was punch the prince. Sadly, that failed and Vegeta looked at his fist.

" I have held your powers captive Vegeta. You will get them back before I part. Aren't you happy that I am awaken?"

Vegeta only growled as he followed the others to the dining room. Vegeta couldn't help but smirk as he followed Prince Syrus and the others.

' I like him,' he thought to himself. ' Better than that brat Kakkorot calls a son.'

Prince Syrus is almost like Vegeta huh? Why do you think Vegeta likes him so? It's definitely not the clothes he wears.
