"Gohan!! Gohan get up now." Gohan bolted straight out of his bed as he heard his Mother shrill voice call for him. What was all that? Gohan thought. He remembered the dream to the exact detail. As he heard his mother start to trample up the stairs he got to his feet. Time to deal with one thing at a time. The dream analyzing can wait.
In a cat like way Gohan slowly put his hands together then extended his arms over his head and opened his mouth to emit a yawn.
"What are you doing Gohan. It's almost noon. We're supposed to be at Bulma's by now? You still have to pack, and eat, and how can you fit training and studying in by the end of the day?" His Mother scolded.
Training and studying is she really nagging me about those 2 subjects in one sentence? She's really going to let me train? It really wasn't hormones? Or are they still acting up? He tried to focus out her voice due to the fact she was about one decibel short of yelling. With his Saiya-jin hearing he really couldn't appreciate the sound. Kami! She really hasn't changed. Except the whole training thing. The question is, will she keep on that state of mind? Also is that a good thing or bad thing? I'm used to the studying and being nagged about it constantly. But can I keep my sanity if she starts going for studies, and training? Does she ever even consider what I want? What I want. Do I even think about that? I usually take orders from whomever, Mom, Dad, Piccolo, Krillin, Bulma, even Vegita at times. Speaking of sanity I have to make sure to get everything green and red out of my closet. Just in case. He thought remembering his dream with a shiver of horror from his future self. That dream has definitely opened my eyes. I'll never become that damn Christmas tree decoration or super hero The Great Saiya-man. But that kid Goten. If he is my future sibling, I don't think things would be so bad.
"Gohan!!!" Chichi went on to yell trying to get her child out of his thoughts.
"What?" He asked as his eyes focused on her once more.
"Finally the space craft landed back to Earth." Chichi wryly. "Go, get dressed and pack. No food until you do that."
"Fine." The young hybrid said. "Not willing to start a fight this morning. For some strange reason her voice seemed much louder than usual and was starting to hurt his ears. This was an amazing feat him being a growing demi Saiya-jin and not arguing about his hunger. The boy slowly turned around and went to his desk. Chichi smirked, still her little boy as always. (I always think it's really funny how all the fighters are scarred of her in DBZ)
Gohan felt a feeling of relief overcome him as he heard her close the door and walk away. Why does she sound so loud? Could that be hormones too? That can't be the only explanation. Also the training thing Baba said she had orders. That means someone else wants me to train. But who wants me to and should I comply? It's probably for the best if I still train. Gohan thought as a flash of the Great Saiya-man came into his head. He was out of his daze when he heard a loud thump.
"What the???" He stammered as he ran to his window. A perplexed look crossed the half blood when all he saw was his mother dropping a few crates on the green grass on the lawn. If that was the sound, then why was it so loud? What is going on? Being done now packing enough of his schoolbooks to fill a library in a capsule he went over to his closet. Grrrr. His stomach growled with hunger and gasp at the feeling of hunger. I'll just hurry up. Quickly he grabbed an assortment of fighting outfits and normal clothing. All the while throwing anything that had a tint of green or red into the laundry for dying. Finally he reluctantly took off the gi King Kai had given him and folded it gently on top of his other packed articles of clothing. Keeping on the boots he went on to grab a pair of dark pants and a white shirt. (Looks like the outfit he wore before the Cell games. Does anyone know what it's called?) Looking discontented in the mirror at his hair he ran a brush through it. After it flattened his Saiya-jin heritage and SSJ state made it spike back up every which way. Pocketing the two capsules that held his possessions he went quickly to the kitchen. There on the table laid countless dishes for the Saiya-jins' breakfast. Happily he sat down and started eating at his normal pace.
"Gohan. Are you packed yet?" Chichi asked in her normal tone. Gohan cringed the sound echoed through his ears. What is going on? He thought mid chew. Usually he went he was eating his whole attention was directed to that activity.
"Yes." He stammered. "Geeze Mom can't you turn it down a few decibles." Gohan asked.
"What??" Gohan I'm not yelling. Also don't talk with you mouth full." Chichi said raising the tone in her voice.
"Mom! Please stop talking so loud I feel as if my ears are going to start to bleed." He stated after he gulped down a mouthful of rice.
"Oh? Do you know why it's happening?" She whispered, seeing the look of pain on her son's face. He shrugged. Putting down the bowl, he looked strait into her eyes. Still teary from morning but a new pride shining through the kind only an expecting Mother could have. One life ends another begins. Gohan thought absently.
"I'm done. Let me finish the dishes so we can get to Bulma's. Maybe Vegita will know what's going on."
"Vegita?" Chichi whispered as Gohan stood up.
"For some reason I feel it's a Saiya-jin thing." Gohan replied gathering the dishes.
"The universe can really never cut you a break. Can it?" Chichi whispered wryly.
Gohan smiled the same grin his Father was known for, with all the empty plates in his hands. Chichi panicked when she saw him disappear for a moment. But then sighed in relief as she saw him reappear his hands empty and all the dishes clean and packed away to her suspicion.
Through a series of signaling and whispers Gohan and Chichi made it out side. Taking her hand and her placing her hand on the newly capsulated crates. He put two fingers to his forehead and searched for Bulma's ki that was very close to Vegita. Focusing, he concentrated and slowly started to see the image of Capsule Corpse still fully aware of the contact of his Mother's hand against his skin. Slowly he detected the ki of Bulma's mother in the front yard of the Capsule Corpse main building. Better go there. Who knows what Bulma and Vegita are doing at this moment. Hanging around Master Roshi for several years made him aware of what kind of private activities grown-ups could do, behind closed doors. That would be I site I wouldn't want to see. He thought as he finally focused on the moving ki of Bulma's mother. Gathering his mother and his own ki together his initiated the technique. There was a sudden rush as he closed his eyes. Still feeling his mother's touch he continued focusing on the ki. Finally the rush disappeared slowly Gohan opened his eyes.
Now he was standing in front of Capsule Corpse. Bulma's Mother shrieked as he saw the two appear. Dropping a tray of lemonade she was holding. She shrieked and Gohan had to cover his ears as the noise pierced his head. It's getting worse. He thought.
Chichi getting over the transport saw the look on her son's face. She quickly strode towards the older woman and put her left hand over her mouth and motioned with her right to go get Vegita. Gohan quickly ran away to a deserted part of the compound. The sun beat down hotly now and the wind blew. Gohan was surprised that he could almost hear the soft breeze blowing or the light itself vibrating at it's certain frequency. This is really confusing. I can hear the insects' calls as if it was the volume of a human's voice. That's not normal. I have got to find Vegita. Or get him away from Bulma. Right now he's my only lead. His power level seems really high at the moment, either he's filled with a lot of an emotion or he went evil and is trying to destroy the Earth. If I raise my power enough maybe it will draw enough attention to myself for him to come here.
Gohan clasped his hands into a fist as he forced his brows together. Gathering ki he slowly forced it outward emitting a small scream. Soon a familiar gold aura surrounded his young form. Relaxing he let the tension in his muscles leave, as he reveled in the energy waiting for the Saiya-jin Prince to show up. Kami why are the noises getting louder? Oh finally his highness is coming. Gohan sighed in relief as he felt and actually heard the Saiya-jin Prince come towards him. That's weird Bulma seems really mad. Gohan thought on a side note as he sensed anger in Bulma's ki making it rise.
"What the hell are you doing you brat. Do you know what you actually made me leave?" Vegita yelled. Hearing the loud voice in this state it blared though his ears making him cringe and let out a small cry of pain as he put both hands to either ear.
"I needed your help. Don't yell." Gohan stammered. All he received from the flame haired price was a gesture to continue, as he saw the pain on the boy's face. "Everything around me. It's so loud. I want to scream. It just seemed to happen this morning." Gohan said quietly letting his gold aura disappear.
"It's very simple. All you really have to do is power down. You're as dense as your Father you know." Vegita said in a whisper, that didn't suit his character.
"Power down?" Gohan said. Ignoring the comment made by the Prince. Not wanting to get into an argument at the moment.
"A part of the first stage of growing into an adult is keener senses for a Saiya-jin. Right now your hearing is improving, as soon it'll happen to all your senses. Since you're in SSJ level they're already heightened making the change become more severe. Soon you'll grow accustomed to them. But I suggest that you stay powered down until you're not so sensitive to it. Especially when you're near my mate and your infernal mother." Vegita explained.
"How do I know you're telling the truth? That you're actually trying to let me get my guard down so you can get rid of me?" Gohan said suspiciously. The Prince was acting distrustfully out of character.
"Idiot. I would never do that. There is no honor in that kind of deception. I'll prove I'm the strongest of all Saiya-jins by defeating you and your idiot Father. In a battle that uses all of our ki, to finally decide who has the most power. Also you past the examination, so my damn brat and I can survive, so our race will survive to see another sunrise. I am against my will indebted to you. By explaining this I am less indebted to you." The Prince said softly. "Power down. That's the solution. The changes should last for about a month. The changing should last that long because Saiya-jins and hybrids have higher hormone levels than humans making the transformation faster." Vegita concluded. Then stalked away to join his mate once more.
Trusting the older Saiya-jin he slowly let his power escape his muscles. His hair slowly turned back to its original coal, his eyes did the same action. Slowly he inhaled and let the fresh air enter his lungs. To his surprise everything sounded normal once more. Changes to become an adult. That must mean puberty. Aren't I still young for that? If it's starting to happen then I'm probably going to have to go to Vegita with questions. Kami is definitely torturing me. At least my hearing is back to normal. If I can't use my power for a month what will happen if someone attacks. Hopefully that won't happen. See this is why I'm not like my Father. Dad I don't think I can do this. Whatever you say I'll still always be partly to blame. All I can really do is what you wished of me to do. To make up for what I've done. I've been so busy my mind has been off this subject for such a long time. I better go tell Mom that I'm fine now. Maybe I shouldn't though it would get her off my back with the nagging and the yelling. As attractive as that seems I need to tell her.
He slowly sensed her ki in the C.C Building and started towards it at a slow pace. When he got there Bulma and her mother sat with Chichi. All of them were smiling talking loudly. Chichi looked up as Gohan went ahem. Giving him a concerned look he went on to say. "I'm fine now."
"Thank Kami." Chichi said. "What was it."
"Supposidly Vegita said the Saiya-jin equivalent of the starting of puberty." Gohan replied turning a bright red.
"My baby is growing up." Chichi stated as she rose up and embraced her son all teary eyed. "Soon you'll be an adult and leave me and have babies of your own." Soon she started bawling.
"What???" Gohan questioned confused on the way his mother was acting. She now pushed him away and was weeping into Bulma's Mother's arms.
"It's hormones." Bulma whispered to into his right ear. The genius whipped away a stray aqua strand of hair. "That is one of the reasons I offered to let you two stay here. Carrying a Saiya-jin hybrid is a curse during pregnancy. It's basically having the extreme of every symptom that results. Trust me. It's not easy. Don't worry it'll pass. My Mom and I are also experts. After my lovely time through carrying Trunks." Bulma continued to whisper.
"Thanks Bulma." Gohan said.
"Anytime. You are the son of my best friend." She said kind of teary eyed as she looked over to Chichi. "You better go find to your room. It's up the stairs and the fifth one on the right. We'll calm down your mother.
Nodding Gohan slowly went towards his new room. Touching the capsules he came upon the door he thought was designated as his. Slowly he went over to the bed and laid back. Finding a remote he turned on the T.V. never passing off a chance to take a look. His Mother rarely let him rot his mind watching the device.
"Now on Z T.V. we give you the a message from the savior of the world Mr.Satan." A female announcer proclaimed.
The camera focused on a crowd in a huge stadium then zoomed in on the coward. Holding the victory sign with both his hands and smiling through his afroed (is that a word.) head. Gohan almost bursted into a fit of laughter right there as he saw the stupid posses he was making.
"That's right. I defeated Cell. I am the hero of this World. Who's the most powerful? Me! I'll challenge anyone that wants to challenge this. I'm holding a tornament two days from now to prove once and for all I am the strongest on this Earth. I've heard all you people mentioning the former champion a Goku Son. That man was weak all he ever did was tricks. I am the true champ. I also send out a call to all those that know his kind of tricks to come and challenge me. Then I can prove how it's all fake" Mr. Satan went on to announce.
Stunned Gohan turned off the T.V. How dare he. It's fine that he took the credit for me destroying Cell. Who wants that kind of fame. It ruins your life. There's also no point to it. But there is no way I'll let him get away with what he's stating about my Father. But how can I go without showing my identity. Another image of his future self as the Great Saiya-man flashed in his head. No not that. I'll find away. Satan you'll pay for making fun of my Father. Gohan thought with anger. As he went down stairs to consult Bulma and if worse comes to worse Vegita.
