Life of Gohan

By Silvertress

Disclaimer: I don't own the series Dragon Ball Z. The idea and plot to this fanfiction is my own if there are any similarities to any others that is just pure coincidence. The jist is I don't own anything not in this timeline or an alternate future one where Androids wreak havoc.

Author's Note: Oh yeah 115 reviews all you readers rule. Whoa two updates in two days I'm on fire. This story is still being edited when all the changes are complete the readers will be informed. So people seem to want romance and teenage life. Be patient it's coming it's already in the process of being written. I really don't have anything else to say except same thing goes for the e-mail thing. Another request asking you to read my new one Waiting. But all that aside as always Read, Review and above all Enjoy!

On with the show:

~~

            His teal eyes scanning his surroundings he was just grasping at what Trunks had to deal with. Everything seems dead or near it. I thought I had it bad just because my Father died. I still have the rest of them. He has no one except his mother. If that was the case with me I think I'd go mad. But still he fights on. He is the strongest on this planet and the only one that can save or protect this world. That's a thing we have in common now. I better search for his ki. Concentrating Gohan let the melancholic scenery vanish as his lids came down over his eyes.  Looking out for the familiar energy signature he let out a cry when he felt the one it was near. It can't be!

    "Cell is here!" He exclaimed out loud. The phrase echoed off the fragments of the dead city. Putting two fingers to his forehead he locked in on the first power level. In the blink of an eye the city was deserted once more the phrase uttered seconds ago still refracting off the ruins.

~~

            Trunks grasped the Green Android's tail with a death gripe. The Android squirmed and screamed curses at the Saiya-jin. But the gripe didn't loosen. Leaning back the Super demi-Saiya-jin extended his arms and started to spin in a circle slowly picking up momentum. Soon the two seemed to be almost a translucent blur. Suddenly the major mass of the weight, which had been spinning, was gone. Trunks' boots skidded through the dirt as he tried to stop the force of the spin.

            Looking down a face of disgust came over his face replacing the calm look that preceded it. Down in the Hybrid's hands was a long green tail spurting purple blood as if faintly wiggled. Throwing the thing into the air with ease Trunks let out a little yell as the tail exploded in an outburst of gold light.

            The Android looked openmouthed at the Saiya-jin. It had finally dawned upon the being that he was outmatched. The Android didn't know what to do. The other two beings which he could of absorbed were gone. Destroyed by him. The Android didn't care about revenge for that anymore all it wanted was to stay alive. Slowly it tried to slink away but Trunks turned his head and saw what the Android was trying to attempt.

            Butting his two fingers up and shaking them back and forth he went on to scold. "You can't run away yet. Actually you won't be able to run away ever after the next few moments. You see when I destroy you it will all be over."

     "No it won't. You destroy me another will come along to destroy this planet. It'll never be done for you." The Monster replied.

            Barring his teeth together in a snarl Trunks launched himself at the Android. In a few punches that Cell failed to block the Android was on the ground breathing heavily. Bringing both hands side by side in front of him Trunks let out a loud scream. In a large burst of golden ki energy the Android was engulfed by the blast. When the light of the energy disappeared any sign of the Android was gone.

            Trunks breathed heavily from the exertion of so much energy. His hands fell down to his knees as he bent over. The Hybrid had to turn his head when he heard clapping. The half blood couldn't believe his eyes on what he saw. He heard the person start to laugh, as he still let his hands come together and apart slowly.

   "Whoa that was an awesome show. You were right when you said you didn't need any help." Gohan said hovering about ten feet in the air to the left of the older Hybrid.

   "Gohan?" Trunks questioned. "How can you be here? Am I hallucinating?" The crossbreed went on to question.

            The younger boy slowly went over and landed softly on the ground next to him. Trunks inhaled deeply and arose to his full height, as his hair turned back to lavender and the dark pupils of his eyes returned.

     "No I'm really here. Piccolo sent me." He took off part of his jack where a small purple sliver was glowing brightly. "That's so he can keep track of me." Gohan went on to say looking up at the older Saiya-jin.

     "That's so outlandish! I have to be hallucinating. Trunks went to reply shaking his head. This boy did look like the past self of his mentor but there were differences. Something in his eyes was peculiar, and his clothes resembled nothing he had ever seen the younger amalgam wear. (I don't know if that word fits grammatically.) But there the illusion or boy stood. Clad in what seemed navy pants that almost looked exactly like his. Along with an orange shirt and if his prior knowledge was accurate containing the symbols of Goku and Piccolo, and over that a jacket almost like his CC put it was plain and the same color as the pants. Trunks was knocked from looking at the boy from a sudden force of his arm.

    "Hey. What was that for?" He snapped at the younger Saiya-jin.

    "Does that prove anything? Can illusions do that?" A grin formed on his deceased teachers past self as he saw Trunks nod. "I'm here because I need your help."

     "What is it?" Trunks asked his eyebrows furrowing in concern. "Not more Androids."

    "No. You know that heart virus my Dad was suppose to die of. It mutated and in my time most of the world will be dead soon. Supposedly I'm immune for some strange reason but if you can't help me only Piccolo, Dende, Mr. Popo and myself will remain." Gohan explained.

     "Didn't your scientist find a cure for it?" Trunks asked.

      "No since the virus mutated the antidote is useless. The Guardian of the planet to my understanding decides when medicines are invented and when illness breaks loose. But since he was learning and we were occupied with all those Androids it developed with out any notice. Now it's too late. I have a sample here that I think your mother could use to make an antidote." Gohan explained.

      "I think Mom can help. It was a risk that if I came back to save Goku that the virus could mutate but it was so slim. Sometimes it feels as if the Universe its self is against us." Trunks said. Chuckling to lighten his ending sentence. "How much time do you have?"

      "Piccolo said a month. Any longer and I'll be stuck here." Gohan replied.

      "Follow me then. I have to tell Mom that it's all over anyway." Trunks said. "Hopefully they're not home." Trunks mumbled to himself.

      "What?"  Gohan asked hearing Trunks talk to himself.

      "Oh nothing." He replied. A white energy field surrounded the teen and he was in the air with ease. With in a few moments Gohan was besides him. "How long has it been since I left your time anyway. I last saw you about two days ago."

            Gohan went on to explain a few weeks and all that had happened including the Saiya-man dream. At that Trunks had to laugh. "I think my Mom tried to get me and Gohan to wear one of those. That costume still sends shivers down my spine." Gohan nodded in agreement. He then went on to explain the events of the tournament with Mr. Satan. Trunks half listened to that and the other half of his concentration was on finding Pan and Videl. To his relief they were off somewhere in the mountains. They should be gone for a while. It wouldn't be a good thing if this Gohan ran into his future self's family. Who even knows if he'll end up with her if his time line has changed so much.

            Trunks responded with another laugh when he went on to explain the result of fighting Satan. Trunks started to land to where he and his mother lived. Gohan slowly followed.

    "Mom I'm home." He yelled as he walked through the doorway. Slowly he saw Bulma emerge.

~~

            Gohan was surprised to see how different this Bulma was from the one he knew. You could apparently see there were more fine lines on her face. But here eyes were so different. It was true Bulma saw her set of hardship but this ones eyes showed so much more pain. Her eyes widened when she saw him standing behind Trunks.

     "It's all over Mom. Finally they're all gone." Trunks said with a smile he had definitely acquired from his Mother.

     "I'm so glad. I knew you would do it. I'm so proud of you. Just as Gohan must be. I was so worried when you told me to go inside." She said smiling as she readjusted her long ponytail. How many hairstyles does Bulma go through? "Who is that behind you he seems so familiar?" Bulma questioned.

     "Mom it's the Gohan from the timeline I traveled back to. He needs our help." Bulma's eyes widened at that.

     "It's really you isn't it. I'm sorry your Father still died." She said softly.

      "It was meant to be. I need your help. The heart virus has mutated and in a few days everyone on Earth will be dead." Gohan said. Reaching into his pockets he took out the red capsule that Piccolo told him to give.

            Bulma took it with shaking hands. "He said he needed it in a gas form." Gohan continued.

      "That Piccolo he was always good with the planning. You know he is the one that saved you from the Androids." Bulma said. "I'll probably be able to make enough gas to supply the whole Earth in about three weeks. I'm going to need your help to get some of the ingredients."

      "Thank you so much." Gohan said.

      "I don't need to know about any more blood shed." Bulma said as she turned around and disappeared into the next room.

     "That's my Mother straight to work." Trunks laughed. Gohan nodded. Suddenly the ground shook rattling everything in the house. Trunks and Gohan yelled what at the same time and started running out the door. There Gohan saw the two Androids hovering in the air the sister seemed to be holding a small girl with brown hair.

            At this sight all color in Trunks' face was lost. "How can this be? Pan! I killed you two god damn-it." Trunks yelled his hair immediately turning gold as an aura surrounded his body.

      "Looks like you didn't do a very good job." 18 said, brushing her hair out of her eyes. "Try anything stupid and the girl gets it."

      "Don't touch her." Trunks screamed launching himself at the Androids. Gohan let an aura surround him also and followed Trunks' lead.

            Trunks went for 17 and delivered a punch right in the middle of his face.

        "I'll destroy you once more. I did it already." Trunks said after the impact.

        "You damn fool. That wasn't us, it were copies of ourselves we were trying. They didn't work very well. So we stopped that project. We only tried it to see if it would be more fun and it wasn't. Now it's our turn. Your friend looks like he could be fun also." 17 laughed as he rubbed his nose.

       "Gohan grab Pan. I'll take care of them." Trunks yelled.

       "Daddy?" The little girl whispered. Gohan flew towards 18 knowing that this was Trunks' fight. He kneed the Android who dropped the girl. He grabbed her and flew off as fast as he could. He landed in the house and ran towards where he sensed Bulma. She looked up from her microscope with a panicked face.

       "Pan? Gohan? What is it?" She questioned.

       "Trunks is fighting the Androids. Don't ask it's a long story. But don't worry he's much more powerful." Gohan replied as he ran back to make sure Trunks would be all right.

            He let his aura drop as he saw that already the female Android 18 was destroyed. With a complex series of punches Trunks said something to the overwhelmed 17. Then in a bright flash he was gone.

~~

            The four stood in the lab Bulma used. Trunks told them move by move how he defeated the Android. The young girl looked rather bored and kept staring at Gohan. As Bulma went into conversation with Trunks the four or five year old walked slowly to Gohan.

        "Are you my Daddy?" She questioned tugging on his pant leg.
