Chapter 15 Departure

All the Z senshi were looking up into the sky as the last of the light from the ki blast dispersed into the atmosphere. They could still hear Apocalypse's screams playing through their minds. The X men just looked on in shock, feeling small and insignificant standing near these great warriors. Then, it hit them. The joy of a realization. It was over. They had won.
Being able to read their expressions, Professor X decided to bring them back to reality. "It's only over for now, he will return"
"We know that, but it's nice to know that we can finally take a break" said Puar, coming out of the hole her and Oolong had dug.
"Speak for yourselves, we don't plan to take a break" said Cyclops "We have training to do, sure you were here this time, but who's going to save us next time?" the others nodded in agreement, acknowledging that they had been having the same thoughts.
"I'm glad you've learned your lesson" spoke a voice they had come to recognize as that of Madam Web. "In order to battle opponents on the level of Apocalypse you need to prepare for them, you can't just amble on and expect to win, you need to train and be prepared"
"She's right, you have to have everything in order, so that when the time comes, you can win" said Goku
"Did you guys train for this?" asked Jubilee
"No, but we are always training, and at the time we left we were in extra hard training to fight someone even more powerful than Apocalypse" said Gohan, causing several X men jaws to hit the ground.
"M-more powerful than Apocalypse" Jubilee stuttered
"That is difficult to imagine" said Storm
"In our time, Apocalypse is pretty small in stature compared to some of the beings we have fought" said Yamcha
"No wonder" said Rogue
"I would continue to train if I were you, because they won't all be like Apocalypse, your enemies will continue to get more and more powerful" said Goku "That's why we are always training, because we know that the next enemy will be even more powerful than the last"
"Spoken like a true warrior" said the voice of Odin
"Odin?" asked Goku
"Yes, the others are here as well, and it is nearly time for you to return to your own time" Odin replied
"You need to return to the mansion, where the dimensional rift is" said Kaibito
"Alright, lets get going" said Cyclops, and they piled in to the blackbird and the helicopter the X men had brought, and went on their way to the mansion.
"You need to say your goodbyes before the rift closes" said Elder Kai
"How much time do we have?" questioned Professor X
"You have twenty-four hours" Kaibitto informed them "Use them wisely"
"We will" said Professor X "Gohan, when you have time I would like to speak with you" he said
"Okay" said Gohan
"We will leave you to say your goodbyes now" said the Beyonder, and with that they were alone once again.
The younger X men then noticed that they had returned and ran outside to greet them.
"What happened, did we miss a good fight, we saw explosions" the questions all came at once.
"Calm down guys, I'll tell ya what happened, just come on inside and I'll tell you" said Goku in his usual cheery manner. Everyone then returned to the mansion. Gohan decided that now would be the perfect time for his meeting with Professor X.
"Hey Havoc, where is Professor X?" asked Gohan
"Um, I think he went to his study" said Havoc
"Thanks" said Gohan, and then he set out for Professor X's study. After Gohan had left the other students broke out in excited chatter.
"I bet we're gonna' have a new classmate" said Cannonball
"I hope so, he's a major stud" said Boom Boom
"You've got that right" said Sunspot
"Just remember that I saw him first" said Jubilee

~~~Study~~~

"Come in Gohan, have a seat" said Professor X
"You wanted to talk to me?" he said/asked
"Yes, I have some things to discuss with you" said Professor X
Gohan sat down and gave Professor X a tentative look.
"You are a talented young man and your parents have done well raising you" he began "If this was your time period, I would ask you to join and urge your parents to enroll you in my school. However, since it is not, you will have your own challenges and will have to face them without a unique shelter such as this." Gohan made mental notes of everything said, and continued to listen to every word as Professor X went on. They were continuing to discuss when they heard a familiar voice.
"That is all very true Professor, however he will eventually be going to a school, but not a school like yours" said the voice of Madam Web
"Have you been reading more minds?" he asked in a tone that hinted at frustration "That is becoming a dangerous habit, someone may realize you are probing and then you will be in trouble"
"Nonsense, anyways, if you wish to avoid school Gohan, I advise you avoid speaking about it with either of your parents" said Madam Web
"Um, thanks for the advice" said Gohan 'And I'll be sure to follow it' he thought
"That's good to hear" said Madam web. Professor X only looked puzzled for a moment, and then said "Stop doing that" They then heard Madam Web's laughter as it slowly faded to nothing.
"What an annoying habit" said Gohan "If that's all, I'd like to go train with my mother"
"Of course, of course" said Professor X. As Gohan then left the office and continued down the hall he got lost in his thought. He was then brought back to reality as it felt like something ran into him. He looked down to see none other then Jubilee.
"Oh, I'm sorry" said Gohan as he reached down to help her up. "I guess I should watch where I'm going" he said giving the Son Family Grin
"No, it was my fault" she said, trying to hide the fact that her knees were turning to jelly. "I better go" she said and took off running
'I can't believe one grin from that guy can turn my entire insides to jello' thought Jubilee as she continued on her way leaving a somewhat confused Gohan in her wake.
'I wonder where she's off to in such a hurry' thought Gohan 'Oh well, I better get going if I'm going to get any training done' and with that he continued on his way at a somewhat slower pace than Jubilee.

~~~Lounge room~~~

"And that's what happened" Said Goku as he finished his story
"Wow, I can't believe all that happened" said Boom Boom
"Yeah, I bet it's a little exaggerated though" said Cannonball
"I wanna' see it up close" said Sunspot
"I do too" said Multiple, splitting into six in excitement
"Well, lets play it safe" said Wolverine "Goku, why don't you get Gohan and Chi Chi and head towards the obstacle course, all you half pints head to the observation room"
"Sure thing Wolverine" said Goku
"Wait, we already saw what they can do in the danger room" said Cannonball "Why would we want to see the obstacle course"
"Yeah" said Sunspot "I wanna' take them on" The others all nodded in agreement
"I can't, I promised Vegeta that I would spar with him" said Goku, causing the X men to look down in disappointment "But I bet Chi Chi and Gohan would take you on" The X men all brightened up at this.
"Where are they at?" asked Multiple, splitting into even more copies of himself
"They should be in the backyard" said Goku after a bit of concentration. The X men all gave him a quick nod before taking off in search of Chi Chi and Gohan.

~~~Outside~~~

Chi Chi and Gohan finished going through another synchronized kata as the Z senshi minus Goku and Vegeta looked on in awe at their perfectly executed techniques.
"No matter how many times I see that I think I'll still be amazed" said Yamcha "How do you get to move in unison like that?"
"Practice" said Chi Chi simply, trying to fight the blush that threatened to creep onto her cheeks
"Maybe we can learn that someday" said Cannonball, causing the Z senshi to look to where they were standing.
"Maybe, with training" said Gohan
"Speaking of training, we thought maybe you and your mother would spar with us" said Sunspot
"It doesn't have to be all of us, since then we would outnumber you" said Boom Boom
"We would, but I'm afraid one of you might get hurt" Said Chi Chi with a sincerely concerned look
"We'll be fine, we can handle ourselves, but the question is, can you handle us?" said Multiple. (JJ: Oh boy, how naïve can they get?)
"We can handle you just fine" said Gohan "but I really think it would be a waste of my time to fight you"
'Definitely too much time with Vegeta' thought Chi Chi. The X men were getting desperate. They really wanted a sparring match, so Sunspot used the only method she could think of that would be a surefire way to get them into battle, or at least from what she had seen of them.
"What's wrong, are you scared?" That did it, Chi Chi's eyes narrowed and her fists clenched as she sent a look that would have melted any of the Z senshi into puddles on the spot had it been sent their way. However, the young X men didn't know her well enough for it to have this effect yet. Gohan, seeing the look, decided he should try to get them away from here, for their own safety.
"We're only scared for your safety" said Gohan
"Really, well then that shouldn't be a problem since you're the one who's going to lose" said Boom Boom. Gohan was just about there, she could tell from the look that came to his eyes briefly.
"I highly doubt that" he said
"I don't, I think you're just scared you'll lose" said Shadowcat. That was it, Gohan snapped.
"If you're so sure you'll win, then come on" he said taking a fighting stance, and Chi Chi soon after. This surprised the X men slightly, after all his passive behavior, but their surprise turned into glee as they finally got their spar. Chaotzu was not nearly as cheerful. Chaotzu had been watching the whole exchange and he could sense the anger from Gohan and Chi Chi steadily rising. At their current anger levels they were just bordering on exploding into rage. He decided he should warn the X men, but before he could, Gohan attacked.
Gohan flew straight into the middle of the X men, taking down a few of them as he went. He was about to send his fist into the one he was on top of, when he split into three and two pulled Gohan off. Chi Chi was right on Gohan's heels and sent a flying kick straight into the two holding Gohan when a little shining ball fell at her feet and exploded. Chi Chi was quick to recover and saw that the source was none other than Boom Boom. She sent a small ki blast at Boom Boom and sent her flying. Gohan looked at the three Multiples and decided that he would need to even up the odds a bit, and in no time there were three Gohans ready to go. The first Gohan went after Multiple. Multiple was just getting over his shock at the split form when a fist drove into his jaw, shutting it and sending him into the air where he was caught by cannonball who was in the process of dodging energy blasts from Chi Chi. Gohan then turned his attention to the other Multiples. The other Gohans found Sunspot and Shadowcat. They first begun to chase after Shadowcat who simply phased through his punches and kicks. Gohan then tried energy blasts but she just dodged through those too. He decided that his approach wasn't working and so he decided to use a classic. He jumped back several feet and punched the air which caused a shockwave strong enough to send her flying through the air and into cannonball. The other Multiples had already been taken care of which left only Sunspot. Before Sunspot had a chance to move they were on top of her. They pounded her sufficiently into submission and piled her on top of the rest of the X men.
"We warned you" said Chi Chi brushing her hands together "Now we'll get you some senzu beans, and maybe you'll learn to watch your mouths"
"Always be sure to take time to gauge your opponents strength properly before jumping headlong into a fight" said Gohan.
They both nodded to each other before turning to Bulma to see if she had Senzu beans. She gave them to them and then turned to the others.
"It must be about time to begin packing up, lets go get ready" she said
"Maybe time for you to start, somehow you always have enough luggage for us to each be loaded to the point where we can't see where we're going" said Yamcha "Even if you don't have anything with you when you leave"
"Be quiet and get going" she said. Meanwhile, Chi Chi and Gohan finished giving out senzu beans and were just about to join the others when Sunspot stopped them.
"Sorry about what we said, all we were looking for was an honest sparring match, we didn't mean to offend you" she said. Gohan just gave the famous Son Family Grin while Chi Chi gave them her famous Sweet and Cheerful Smile, leaving the X men wondering how people with such sweet natures could be so deadly.
"That's ok, we were just worried that you would get hurt, but I guess we ended up hurting you anyway huh?" said Chi Chi
"And it was a complete waste of training time to do so" said Gohan
'Definitely need to train him myself when Goku's not around, instead of letting Vegeta' thought Chi Chi before smacking him upside the head
"But I guess we can try again when you've trained more, if we meet again" he said while rubbing his now sore head
"I'd like that" said Boom Boom
"Well, we better go pack" said Chi Chi
"Pack what?" asked Gohan
"There's always something to pack when Bulma is around" said Chi Chi "Talk to you later"

~~~The next day~~~

"It was nice meeting you, we learned a lot from you" said Jean Grey
"We learned a lot here too" said Gohan
"You are true warriors, it was an honor fighting against and along side you" said Cyclops
"I suppose it wasn't a complete waste of my time fighting you" said Vegeta
"That's his way of saying that he thinks the same thing" said Bulma
"I believe you have truly inspired my X men" said Professor X "and keep an eye on Gohan, he has true potential"
"I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks so" said Master Roshi "He gets it from his mother and father"
"I really had fun here, we'll come visit if we can" said Chi Chi "We'll have to ask the council if that's possible"
"We'll see if we can come and see you too" said Jubilee
"Farewell Z senshi, until we meet again" said Storm
"Until we meet again" said Punch, and with that, they piled into their airship before being enveloped by a white light.

~~~Watcher HQ~~~

The Z senshi appeared in the Watcher's HQ looking slightly dazed, until they looked around and recognized their surroundings.
"Hey, why are we back here?" asked Goku
"Because you will need this to return to your time" said the Watcher, tossing them a capsule "It is a time machine large enough and advanced enough to accommodate all of you"
"Wow, I'll have to study it" said Bulma
"No, you will not, not yet" said the Watcher, Bulma frowned a bit, but nodded in agreement.
"Ok, thanks guys" said Goku as he opened the capsule and revealed the machine. It was barely big enough for someone to sit on, let alone all of them to sit in.
"Attach it to your airship, and you will be able to use it" said the Beyonder
"Ok" said M. Trunks, grabbing the machine and attaching it
"Here we go" said Bulma as she fired it up and in a flash they were in the time stream and on the way home. In a short time they found themselves in the cave of time.
"What a weird place, but why are we here?" asked Goku
"This is the check point" said Elder Kai, emerging from the wall
"Okay, but how do we get home from here?" asked Bulma
"We can do that" said Kaibitto, removing the time machine from the ship
"Okay, see you in several years" said Elder Kai waving goodbye as they were enveloped in a white light and they were back in the air on the way to the tournament.
"That was an adventure" said M. Trunks
"Yeah, now I don't even feel like going to the tournament" said Krillin "It seems too dull"
"I know what you mean, but we should still go" said Yamcha "After all, they ARE expecting us"
"So it's settled, we're off to the tournament" said Bulma, they nodded in agreement as she turned up the speed and they blasted off towards the tournament.
