Chapter 3: The News and the Plan
"How could he do that?" Gohan yelled
"Gohan calm down!" Piccolo barked (Imagine that)
"Leave me alone!!" he yelled
Everyone, even Piccolo and Vegeta, took a couple steps back as Gohan powered up to SS2.
"All he ever does is fight, train and eat. His priorities were fighting and food then fiends, and family." Gohan said
His eyes were full of tears, but he refused to cry. He powered down a moment later. He fell to his knees and was breathing heavily. He stood up and looked around. He was surprised to see that 18 had come out to join the group. She didn't seem to have a problem being a human.
'Probably because she still has her power' he thought
"I'm going home to tell mom about…dad" Gohan said
"It wasn't your fault" Krillin said "he chose not to come back"
"Whatever" he said
"Well, I'm going back to my timeline to defeat the androids." Mirai said
He pulled out a capsule labeled 'Time-01'. He pressed the button on the top and tossed it about 5 feet away. When the smoke cleared a big yellow machine stood there. On the side 'Capsule Corp.' was painted in big, white letters. There was a glass dome on top. Trunks pressed a button and it opened.
"Bye Trunks, and don't forget to visit okay?" Bulma said(I don't know how she got there so fast so use your imagination) as she waved.
"I'll remember" he said
"Bye" everyone said
"Bye everyone" he said
There was bright flash of light and he disappeared.
"Well I guess we better go tell Chi-Chi what's happened." Yamcha said
"Aren't we lucky" Gohan muttered sarcastically
"What do mean? What happened?" Bulma asked
Gohan looked down at the earth below them.(he was standing on the edge)
"We'll tell you when we tell Chi-Chi" Krillin said
They all jumped off of the lookout and headed to the Son house. Vegeta was carrying Bulma who was carrying baby Tunks.
Gohan was the first to land. He opened the door (they don't lock the door because one, saiyans live there and two, they live in the middle no where) and walked into the house and saw his mother sitting on the couch waiting for them.
He, followed by the others, walked into the living/family room where his mother was. Chi-Chi heard footsteps and looked up at Gohan. She stood up and ran over to him.'
"Oh my kami, what happened to you?" she asked
"Cell" he said
"Oh, yeah." She said. Then she noticed the cut on his face that was starting to bleed a little." Why didn't you eat a senzu bean or have Dende heal you?"
"It would be a waste of energy or senzu bean because it will be healed by morning.." He said
"Ok, where is Goku?" she asked
"He…he's dea-" Gohan started, but fainted. I guess the flight took more out of him then he thought.
*~* About 45 minutes later *~*
Gohan woke up and felt something warm on him. He also had a bandage or a really big Band-Aid on his cheek. He opened his eyes and looked around. Every one, except the Nameks( Dende is there) and Vegeta, looked like they were on the verge of tears.
"What….happened?" he asked
"You fainted" Krillin said
"Oh" was all he said
He heard one no two people crying.
He sat up and turned his head to see Bulma and Chi-Chi drying their faces.
'What have I done?' He thought
He looked at his mother, her eyes were full of pain and sadness.
'It's like I killed him. I should have killed Cell when every one told me to, but I let my saiyan side take over and wanted Cell to suffer. The strange thing is that I enjoyed letting my saiyan side out' he thought 'but dad. Why didn't you come back? Was it because of me? Are you mad because I let you die? He will probably come back if I leave.'
He stood up and walked over to Bulma and his mom.
"I'm sorry" he said
"For what?" they asked at the same time
"It's like I killed dad. If I would have listened to him and every one else then he would be alive" he said
Bulma stood up and said "It wasn't your fault. Besides he can come back whenever he wants to." Then she smiled.
A few minutes later Krillin said " Well Chi-Chi, Gohan we're leaving. Call if you need anything." Krillin said
Every one stood up to leave.
"Bye" Chi-Chi said
Gohan walked outside watched everyone leave. Everyone was gone except Bulma, Vegeta, and Trunks.
"Bulma?" Gohan asked
"Yes Gohan?" she said
"I was wondering. Do you have an extra GR?"(GR stands for Gravity room if you didn't know)
"Yes, why?"
"I was wondering can I have one?"
"Of course" she said as she pulled a capsule out a capsule labeled 'GR-024'.
"Here" she said handing it to him.
"Thanks"
"Anytime"
Vegeta picked her up and they flew back to Capsule Corp. He walked into the house and saw his mom in the kitchen. By now it was about 7:35.
'She'll be asleep by about 9:30 or 10:00 and then I can leave' he thought
"Dinner will be ready in about 40 minutes." she told him
"Ok. I'll be in my room." He said and went up stairs
He walked into his room and sat down at a desk that had a lamp, computer and of course a stack of books. There were some pens, pencils, and some paper was spread out on the desk.
He looked at the books in disgust.' I hate studying! I spent most of my life stuck here studying. Ever since I was about 3 mom made me study. I've been stuck sitting at this desk for my whole life.'
He picked up some paper and a black pen and began to write. After about 24 messed up letters and 38 minutes later he completed the letter. The letter said:
Dear Everyone,
I'm sorry. I should have listened to you and killed Cell, but I didn't and dad died because of my mistake. By the time you read this I will already be gone. I only have one request DON'T come after me. It would just be a waste of time. I love you guys. Goodbye
Gohan (a/n: I know it sucks, but I couldn't think of anything else)
"Gohan, dinner!" Chi-Chi yelled
"Coming" he yelled back as he hid the letter and walked down the stairs and into the dining room. He sat down in front of the food. Chi-Chi sat across from him.
'Looks like she cooked too much' Gohan thought and started to eat.
They ate in silence. "That was good mom. Thanks." He said
"Thank you" she replied and gave him a small smile
When they finished Chi-Chi put the extra food in 1 holding capsule thing and put it in the refrigerator. Gohan did the dishes.
When he finished she said "Go get a shower then go to bed"
"Ok" he replied and walked upstairs to his room and picked up a black T-shirt and some black shorts. He walked back into the bathroom. About 15 or 20 minutes later he emerged from the bathroom in the clothes he picked up earlier. He walked into the living room and turned off the light.
Light was shining out from under the door. Gohan peaked through the door and saw his mom crying and looking at a picture of what used to be their family. He knocked lightly on the door and walked in.
"Goodnight mom" he said
"Huh? Oh goodnight Gohan" she muttered
He could tell she was upset that Goku wasn't coming back. He shut the door and walked upstairs to his room and laid down on his bed. He could hear his mom crying with his sensitive hearing.
He laid there about 45 minutes waiting for his mom to go to sleep. His mom was finally asleep so he could leave.
'Well I guess I can leave now' Gohan thought
