Two Gohan's

***********

Gohan paced across the ring, glancing from beneath his hood at his older self in mild disgust.  I can't believe how he's dressed…Gohan stopped at the far end of the ring, staring his older self in the eyes from under the dark recesses of his hood.  "Lets get this started Saiyaman."  Gohan spat out at his older self, bringing a startled gasp from the ridiculously dressed elder version of himself.  Gohan crossed his arms, with the dark black hood covering his whole body and completely shrouding his face, he was truly a menacing figure to behold.  "So lets get started already."  Gohan smiled to himself as Saiyaman growled slightly and dove across the ring, his power fueling his motion and sending him rocketing across the ring towards Gohan.

Saiyaman brought his fists in front of him in order to smash the hooded figure out of the ring.  He had decided that from the way this cocky hooded man was acting that he'd teach him a lesson he'd never forget.

Gohan smiled.  Just as Saiyaman was right in front of him, he twisted out of the way, reaching out and grabbing onto Saiyaman's outstretched arm, spinning him around and flinging him up into the sky.  There were gasps from everyone in the crowd as Saiyaman was hurled hundreds of feet in the air, finally coming to a stop after a grunt of anger and an explosion of power.

Saiyaman glared steely down at the figure in the ring, not able to comprehend how he had not only been able to move fast enough to evade his attack, but also strong enough to throw him this high into the air.  He's good…better than I thought.  Saiyaman slowly floated back down to the ring, landing gently with a soft rustle of wind.

"This is incredible!"  Goku gasped out,  "This guy is no amateur that's for sure."  The rest of the Z-warriors nodded in agreement.

"Hey Gohan!"  Kaioshin shouted out.  Kaioshin was looking at Saiyaman, and only Goku caught that the hooded figure's head had also jerked over at the sound of Gohan's name being called.  "Why don't you turn it up?  Show us all what you can do!"

"Right."  Saiyaman nodded in Kaioshin's direction then turned back to the hooded man ahead of him.  "Well, it's been fun, but it's time," Saiyaman stood straighter, arching his back slightly as his muscles bulged and lighting began to crackle around him.  "To end this little match!"  Saiyaman screamed as his bandana shredded and his glasses exploded into black shards.  His hair crackled and striated as his transformation was completed.  Saiyaman breathed heavily for a few moments then leveled cool green eyes on to his opponent.  "This my friend, is called Super Sayin 2.  Not that you'd understand what that means, but one thing you should know; my powers have grown immeasurable."  Saiyaman flexed as tiles around him exploded, power surging forth from his form. 

I don't believe it…Gohan stared at his cocky older self across the ring, gloating over his transformation like it was the most powerful thing in the world.  Unless I'm sensing wrong, which is impossible since I know his body like my own, he is weaker than me…Gohan stood silently shocked for a few moments, not able to take in all this.  If he's weaker…then, then that could only mean that he hasn't trained at all!  Rage suddenly filled Gohan as he realized how this version of himself had become.  I trained with my father, I pushed myself to the absolute maximum my body could handle, and when it's all said and done, THIS is how I turn out!?  A huge tremor began to shake the arena, the audience gasped, their attention being taken away from the realization that the golden haired warrior, the great Saiyaman and the dorky brain called Gohan were all the same person.

"Where is this coming from!?"  Gohan looked down to where the other Z-warriors were, knowing that this kind of power he was feeling could only be coming from a Saiyan.  The whole arena began to quake with a building power, lighting crackling over ring, lashing out more and more violently as the power built. 

Now we see what power the warrior's hold, in which to defend this planet, and the entire universe.  Kaioshin thought, smiling, as so far he was the only one to know who was causing the uprising of power.

"It's him!"  Goku gasped out, pointing at the hooded man in the ring.  "He's the one who is powering up!"  The rest of the warriors gathered around him, staring in disbelief as the robes around the hooded figure were flowing heavily around him as if in a strong gush of wind. 

"Incredible…" Vegeta gasped out in awe as a bright gold exploded from the hood and arms of the robe, a huge golden aura erupting so bright that everyone was forced to cover their eyes or risk being momentarily blinded. 

Gohan could feel the robe tear from his body, ripping and flying away in the gush of power.  Damn him!!  Gohan screamed louder his aura intensifying even more as he accessed all his strength.

"By Babidi, look at this Spopavitch!"  The two Majin warriors were huddled together, looking over the life-draining tool that their master had given to them.   Along the top of the device was a dial to read stronger powers.  Babidi had told them that from the pitiful strength of the mortals on this planet they would have to practically suck the entire population dry to fill an eighth of the machine to resurrect Buu.  But seconds ago they had watched the needle fly across the scanner, registering nearly half full.  They had been amazed at the luck they had, and were about to race back to the arena to attack and steal the life force from the one who had this amount of power.  But as they were just about to leave they were shocked as the needle violently shook, bouncing from side to side on the scale, finally settling buried to the brim on the highest register the sensor could take.  "We can resurrect Buu immediately!"  Spopavitch smiled savagely.  "And Master will be most pleased.  Lets go get that energy!"

"Indeed."  Yamu stated with a savage glint to his eyes, "Lets go!"  They two Majin warriors jumped up and blasted off towards the arena. 

                                                                * * * * * * *

The bright piercing light began to fade; Goku slowly turned his head back towards the ring, unsure of what he would see.  His eyes widened in stunned amazement.  "G-Gohan!?"

Saiyaman cautiously lowered his arm from protecting his face.  What on earth…His eyes widened in horror at what he saw across the ring.  What!?  I-I it's me!  Saiyaman stared at the younger version of himself across the arena, and was shocked at the pure disgust on his own younger self's face.  "Y-your me…?"  Saiyaman stammered out.

"I…" Gohan said biting off his words "Am nothing like you!"  As Gohan spat out the last word he jumped forward, the section of the ring behind him exploding as he raced forward.  Gohan brought his arm back and slammed it so hard across his older self's surprised face that it sent him flying backwards through the arena wall and skidding on the ground gasping for breath and spitting out blood.  Gohan stood on the edge of the ring as he glared at his older self on the ground, slowly dragging himself to his feet.  "You should be ashamed of yourself!  I, we, spent years training to protect this planet, to grow stronger and reach our pinnacle!  You have no right to call yourself a Saiyan, or Goku's son.  You are not me…and I will never become you."

"What is…what is going on!?"  Vegeta gasped out as he gawked at the younger version of Gohan in the ring.  He looks like…like he did when he fought cell!

"This is it!"  Kaioshin shouted with glee.  "Now everyone."  He turned quickly to the warriors gathered around him.  "Something is about to happen in the ring, you will want to go and help, but you must not.  You must wait here until I say it is ok to leave."  He turned away and back towards the ring just glimpsing two white streaks coming in from the far left.  "I assure you your Gohan, and the new Gohan will be fine."

Goku was still staring wide eyed at his son's in the ring, trying to grasp what he was seeing.  "B-but…what is going on?  Who is he?"  Goku stammered out, not taking his eyes off the younger and seemingly stronger version of his son. 

"Goku," Kaioshin glanced over at him and gave him a reassuring smile.   "I promise I will explain everything as soon as this is over, just please be patient and wait."  Kaioshin shot his glance back to the ring.  "Here we go!"  Kaioshin brought his arms to his sides, bringing forth his energy.  I told Gohan to listen to whatever I told him to do, including if I try to direct his movements.  This will all go perfectly to plan!  Kaioshin brought his arms forward, releasing a crippling wave of Ki on Gohan.  Good!   I have him!  Kaioshin thought as Gohan stood there rigid, not sure what was happening.   Now relax, this will all be over shortly.

What the hell!  Gohan struggled to move his head around.  I…I can't move!   Gohan struggled harder, but it felt like his whole body was tied in place.   Wait a second…what the hell is that!?   Gohan frowned as he felt two weak but malicious powers heading right to him, which would be there in a moment.  Wait…didn't Kaioshin say something about me being a…a distraction!?  Gohan twisted his head agonizingly slowly toward the fighters bunker and locked eyes with Kaioshin.  Gohan stared right into the sad but willful eyes of the Kaioshin, his hands outstretched and pointed towards him.   The bastard…  Gohan's arm twitched.   I am…His whole body shook briefly.   NOT going to be used as a fucking decoy!  Gohan saw out of the corner of his eye the head of Spopavitch coming in from his right.   That's the bastard that beat up that Videl girl…Gohan smirked and retched his gaze back to lock eyes with the Kaioshin.  Gohan let his body become limp and smiled at him, then he surged his power, the surge breaking the hold the Kaioshin held on him like a twig.   Gohan kept his slight smile and this time winked at the Kaioshin, just as Spopavitch landed beside Gohan preparing to grapple him, while Yamu prepared to stab the energy-leeching device into his side.

NO!  Gohan he's going to ruin everything!  Kaioshin thought in horror.

Gohan reached over his shoulder, Spopavitch's arms were now half circling him.  Gohan cupped his head with his arm, then snapped his arm down fast, breaking his neck and sending him bouncing off his shoulder to fly backwards and lie on the ring.  Gohan grabbed the point of the device just as it was about to be jammed into his side and spun around, punching Yamu across the face, hearing a wet snap that meant his jaw had busted.  Disgusting…Gohan turned back to the Kaioshin and started to walk towards him.   To think he was planning on making me lose to the likes of them.  

"Ahh…" Yamu shook his face, sending a splintering shattering pain through his head.   Got to…got to get out of here!  Yamu dragged himself up and stumbled over to Spopavitch's body.   Damn it…that bastard was strong…got to get back…warn Master…  Yamu jumped up and flew off as fast as he could, trying not to pass out from the pain.   Got to tell Master…that this warrior is here…

Well there he goes.  Gohan watched Yamu stagger up and take off, flying to, he assumed, his master's base.   Gohan shrugged and turned back towards the warriors on the side, he glanced over and saw that his older self, Saiyaman, had powered down and was making his way over to rejoin the others.   Well…might as well get acquainted.  Gohan let out a long breath and released his energy, powering down from his Super Saiyan 2 form, starting to walk towards the others where the Kaioshin was waiting with an enraged look upon his face.
