Disclaimer: I don't, I repeat, don't own Dragonball Z!
It has been 6 years since Vegeta had killed Gohan. Goku had defeated the androids, but Hercule had taken all the credit.
Vegeta returned two years after Gohan's death, but Goku would never forgive him.
Gohan could turn SSJ4 and was the most powerful of the group. He was 13. Goku could turn Super Saiyan 3. Goten had been born 4 years after Gohan's death.
Goku had met a new girl in a nearby village one day named Jessica. She was about Gohan's age and height and loved to spar. She had sky blue eyes and a good personality. Her parents had been killed when she was 11, but Goku decided to take her in as his daughter.
Goku explained to Jessica about the Z Warriors, the Dragonballs, power levels, ki, Namekians, Saiyans and about Super Saiyans. From then on, the Z Warriors considered her part of their group. She wore a black gi with lime green wristbands, and belt.
Jessica had grown in strength since Goku had taken her in. Vegeta (Though Goku didn't care about what he said) and Piccolo had to admit that she was a challenge to them. Even with Jessica in the family (Goku loved her as his daughter and would protect her with his life), Goku was never truly happy, because of his Gohan's death. That is until…
Goku, Goten, and Jessica were sitting at the kitchen table waiting for Chi-chi to bring the food. They were having hamburgers. Goten was pulling on Goku's gi, while Goku and Jessica laughed at him.
Chi-Chi hummed her own little song, unaware of what was about to happen. 'Hello.' Gohan's cheerful voice rang out through the kitchen. Goten yelped and dove behind Goku and his chair.
Chi-Chi gasped, turned white and fainted almost on the second. Jessica looked up and then at Goku, puzzled at the bizarre event. Goku looked up surprise to hear his son. Then he remembered. Gohan said that he would be coming back in a few years!
Goku's face lit up. "Gohan! It's you!" he cried out, happy to hear his oldest son again. Gohan laughed, 'Of course it's me. Guess what? Shin said that I could come back. Since the World Martial Arts Tournament is in a week, I figured that if you and the Z gang would enter, then I would too.' Replied Gohan.
Goku thought for a moment. He looked at his unconscious wife on the floor, Goten who was cowering behind his chair, and then at Jessica, who was staring at him with a look of confusion on her face.
Then he grinned the classic Son grin. "Of course, I'll enter! Everybody else will too. Um…Gohan…Should I tell Vegeta?" asked Goku. 'Yes. I would like to teach him a lesson.' Said Gohan, with a hint of malice in his voice.
Goku was taken back at the tone of his voice, but he didn't say anything. "Okay, well I'm going to tell the others." 'Okay. Thanks Dad. Well, I got to go. See you soon! Oh, and Supreme Kai said that he was going to grant me a life. So you don't have to use to the Dragonballs. Bye.'
Gohan broke the connection. Goten started crying, "Daddy, he scared me." Both Jessica and Goku looked down at Goten confused. Goku said to him soothingly, "Goten, why are you scared? That's your big brother, Gohan. I told you that he would come back in a few years."
Jessica looked up at Goku and said, "That's Gohan!? He's your dead son right? Am I going to meet him? Can I enter in the tournament?" Goku nodded, "He's my dead son, but not for long. And yes you are going to meet him, because you're going to enter in the tournament."
Jessica jumped up off her chair, knocking it to the floor, shouted a loud cry of, "YES!" Then she grabbed her chair, and after putting back into upright position, sat in it. She smiled at Goku, donning the famous Son grin. Goten looked up at Goku and smiled, "I'll have someone to play with? Yeah!"
Goten started jumping around like a bunny and singing about meeting, in his terms, 'hei bi' brothr'. Goku grinned at Goten's excitement and at his own. "Hey, Jessica, Goten, I have to tell the others, so when your mother wakes up, tell her that I'll will be right back. Okay?" asked Goku.
Goten looked up at Goku and nodded until he got dizzy. Then he collapsed onto his butt, sat on the floor, and laughed until he turned red. Jessica merely nodded and picked up Goten. Goku shook his head at Goten, smiled at Jessica, and then exited the house. Once outside, Goku put two fingers to his forehead, locked onto Piccolo's ki and disappeared.
Piccolo's head snapped up at sudden appearance of Goku. Piccolo stood up and stretched his legs. Knowing Goku, he was likely to report a new threat. Goku, however, was smiling like a clown in the circus. Piccolo raised an eyebrow at Goku's excitement and cheerfulness.
Gohan's coming back in a few years hadn't click yet in his mind. Goku came strolling over to Piccolo with the widest grin possible. "Hey, Piccolo! Guess who I just talked to?" Goku asked excitedly. Piccolo growled in response, "I have no time for guessing games!"
Goku shook his head, "Come on Piccolo. You know him. He is your best friend, you trained him, and you saved him from Frieza on Namek. It can't be that hard, can it?" Piccolo racked his brain for a moment, searching for an answer. 'Wait. Gohan? No. Well, maybe.'
Goku stood in front of him, still grinning his ears off. "Okay, time's up. Gohan just talked to me and said that if we would enter in the World Martial Arts Tournament, then he would too! Supreme Kai told him that he could back to life. He's being granted a life, so we don't have to use the Dragonballs! Well, what do you say?"
Goku stopped talking and stood there, waiting impatiently for Piccolo's answer. Piccolo closed his eyes for a moment or two and then spoke out, "Yes. I will enter." Goku jumped shouting at his own happiness, causing Piccolo to cringed at the sound. Goku settled down and waved goodbye to Piccolo. He put two fingers to his head, and then locked onto Krillin's ki.
He was at the Kame House. Goku fizzed out from Kame's lookout and appeared outside the Kame House, He walked in. "Hey, Goku!" shouted Krillin, smiling at his friend's appearance. "Hey, Krillin. Hey I got some good news. Gohan's coming back in a week and he wants us to enter in the tournament. Well, Krillin?" Krillin's eyes widened in shock; taking in this news was a surprise to him.
Finally, after getting over his shock, Krillin managed to sputter out a meek, "Yes." Goku smiled at him, put two fingers to his head, and disappeared. He reappeared at Capsule Corp. Vegeta looked up in surprise. He hadn't been expecting Goku to come. He knew that he was still mad at him.
Goku's expression was none too friendly. "I have to tell you something, Vegeta. Gohan's coming back and he says that he wants us to be in the tournament. He insists that you come. I'll be waiting." Without even waiting for a reply, he disappeared leaving Vegeta standing there in shock.
1 Week Later
The tournament was going to start in two hours and the Z Warriors was waiting for Gohan to show up. They were waiting in the tournament waiting area. Chi-Chi was seated in the stands. "Where is he? I hope he isn't going to be late. I think sign-up closes in 30 minutes. Piccolo, Jessica, could you come with me to scan the area?" whined Goku for the trillionth time.
Krillin stood there looking around, while Vegeta just stood there with his head looking toward the ground. Piccolo and Jessica nodded before they spotted the person standing behind Goku.
"Looking for me, Dad?" Goku whirled around. Vegeta's head snapped up at the voice. Gohan was standing in a gi exactly like Goku's (A/N Gohan's hair is the same as the haircut in the Cell Games.), with his tail wagging happily behind him.
Goku's face lit up at the appearance of his son. "Gohan!" Goku ran toward his son, but before he could hug him, Gohan had leapt into his arms. "I missed you Gohan!" Goku said happily. Goku put down Gohan to see just how much he had grown. Then he saw his tail.
"Gohan! Your tail grew back!" stammered Goku. Gohan looked at his tail and then back at Goku, "Yeah. It did." Gohan then felt a hand on his right shoulder and looked up to see who it was. Gohan's face broke into a wide smile as he saw his mentor, Piccolo standing there.
"Hey, kid. It's been a long time." "Yeah, it has." Gohan then felt a tap on his back, and turned to see Krillin standing behind him. "Hi, Krillin!" "Hey, Gohan! It's been a long time. How come you didn't see me in Otherworld?" said Krillin. "Shin wouldn't let me." Replied Gohan. "Oh." Said Krillin.
While Gohan, Piccolo, Goku, and Krillin chatted, Jessica stood not far from them, thinking about Gohan's arrival. 'That's Goku's son? He has a strong fighting power. Maybe I'll get to fight with him.'
She thought. Meanwhile Goku realized that Gohan had no idea, about Jessica. "Jessica, come here. I want you to meet my son, Gohan." Goku then turned to Gohan, "Gohan, this is Jessica. Her parents were killed so I took her in." Gohan looked at Jessica, sensing her high power level.
"Hi I'm Jessica." "I'm Gohan." Goku smiled at the two, when a voice came over the loudspeakers, "Attention, this is the last call for sign-ups." The group walked to the table, and signed-up. 2 hours later, the tournament was about to begin. The officials had already assigned the chart.

"Would Gohan and Jessica please step up to the ring?" yelled the MC. Goku and Piccolo glanced at each other; this would be an interesting match. Goku was anxious to see Gohan's power, as was Piccolo. Jessica and Gohan stepped onto the ring. "Are our contestants ready? Go!" yelled the MC.
Gohan smirked and disappeared. He then reappeared behind Jessica. Jessica threw the first punch, but Gohan dodged it easily. Gohan returned the punch, hitting Jessica in the stomach. Jessica clutched her stomach, and looked up to see Gohan's fist coming straight at her. Jessica flew back to the other side of the ring.
Then, Jessica launched herself at Gohan, who disappeared. Jessica stopped in mid air; she hovered above the ground, searching for him. Meanwhile in the waiting room, Goku was astonished at Gohan's speed. "Where did he go?" Goku couldn't sense him. Back on the ring, Gohan appeared behind Jessica and kicked her out of the ring. "And Gohan is the winner!" stated the MC.
Gohan walked over to Jessica and helped her up. Both of them walked out of the ring. Jessica rubbed her aching back, while glaring at Gohan. "Next match, Vegeta and Krillin! Would they please step up to the ring?" Vegeta stepped up to the ring, followed by a shaking, nervous Krillin.
"GO!" shouted the MC. Vegeta smirked and launched himself at Krillin, causing Krillin to step out of the ring. "And Vegeta is the winner!" Vegeta calmly strolled out of the arena, while Krillin had already run to the waiting room.
Gohan cocked his head at Krillin, confused at what he was so scared about. Vegeta walked over to Gohan. Goku and Piccolo turned their heads to the two. 'Was Vegeta going to try and kill Gohan again?' thought Goku anxiously. Goku started to walk over to Vegeta, but was stopped by Piccolo. "Well, if it isn't Kakarott's little spawn. What are you going to do doing our match, hm? Run?" asked Vegeta, being the cocky little shit he is.
Gohan turned and looked at Vegeta, his eyes dancing calmness, and confidence. "You expect me to run? Well, forget it. But to answer your, question, I'm going to kick your ass." Vegeta gasped in surprise, as did Piccolo and Goku. What had happened the scared Gohan they knew? Gohan smirked at Vegeta's surprise. Vegeta returned his expression with an angry scowl.
Vegeta walked away from the Z gang, while Goku and Piccolo made their way to the arena. But when they stepped up the arena, Piccolo looked at Goku calmly and said, "I know you want to battle Gohan, so I'll forfeit the match." Goku's eyes widened in surprise before he stammered, "Thanks."
Piccolo walked calmly off the ring. Goku followed. "And Goku is the winner." Said the MC, meekly. Back in the waiting room, Gohan's eyes followed Piccolo; he knew Piccolo would never have given up so easily. Piccolo glanced at his student, and smiled briefly.
Gohan smiled back, as he understood what Piccolo did. Gohan then turned his head toward his left, hearing his father coming his way. Goku motioned for Gohan to follow him. Gohan followed him. After getting out of earshot of Piccolo, Goku stopped to talk to his son. "You've changed a lot. What happened?" Goku wasn't trying to be angry, but Gohan never acted the way he did to Vegeta.
Goku's question took Gohan by surprise, but he knew what he meant. "Shin turned me into a full-blooded Saiyan. He also grew my tail back." It was Goku's turn to be surprise. "You're a full-blooded Saiyan!?" Gohan nodded, "Dad, what level of Super Saiyan can you go to?"
Goku looked at his son, "Super Saiyan 3. You?" "Same thing." Replied Gohan. Not. Just then, the MC called for Vegeta and Gohan. Gohan and Goku flew back to the waiting area. Gohan and Vegeta stepped into the ring. Piccolo and Goku smirked; this would be and interesting match. "GO!" yelled the MC.
Vegeta turned Super Saiyan 2 and launched himself at Gohan. Gohan easily blocked him. "Sorry, Vegeta, I'm going to win this match." Vegeta looked at Gohan. Gohan let out a yell and in a flash of light, turned Super Saiyan 3. "I'm going to enjoy this." Said Gohan. He launched himself at Vegeta, causing Vegeta to go flying into the air. Gohan then grabbed Vegeta by the hair, and threw him into the ring. "Ka…me…ha…me...HA!" Gohan fired his blast, strong enough to weaken Vegeta, but not kill him.
After the dust settled, Gohan lowered himself to the ring. Vegeta appeared through the dust. He was knocked out. "Gohan is the winner!" Gohan grabbed Vegeta and threw him to the waiting area. Gohan then calmly walked out of the ring. "Would Freaky Fighter #1 and Goku step up to the ring?" But Freaky Fighter #1 and Freaky Fighter #2 had left.
"Okay, then would Gohan and Goku step up to the ring?" Goku and Gohan glanced at each other, and walked up to the ring. Piccolo, Vegeta (he had woken up), and Jessica watched them with baited breath. Goku powered up to Super Saiyan 3, Gohan did the same. Goku and Gohan launched themselves at each other. Gohan threw a punch at Goku, who blocked it.
Goku kicked Gohan, but Gohan wasn't fazed. Gohan then kicked Goku in the stomach, causing him to go in the air. Gohan flew over to Goku, and clubbed him in the head, making him plummet down to the ring. Gohan appeared to the left of him, and just before Goku hit the ground, Gohan kicked him in the head. Goku went flying into the ground.
"Gohan wins the tournament!" bellowed the MC. Hercule came up to the ring, "Hey kid, now you get to fight me." "That's right folks! The champion, Gohan gets to battle with Hercule." Hercule climbed into the ring. "You should be scared of me, kid. I defeated The Androids." Gohan's eyes narrowed, then he scowled. He had seen Goku defeat The Androids. But this guy had taken all the credit. Hercule punched Gohan, but Gohan just smirked. "You didn't defeat The Androids. My dad did. You're just a big, fat, ego-maniac oaf."
Hercule gasped, and then proudly stated, "Stop using the weakling tactic." Gohan's smirk turned into an angry scowl. Gohan's fist then came whirling through the air at Hercule. Hercule went soaring into the red brick wall, surrounding the stadium. "Gohan is the…winner." Said the MC, stunned at what happened. Gohan walked back to waiting area, muttering a few 'cough' words.
Jessica walked over to Gohan, as soon as he walked in. "That was a good match. I'm sorry I didn't say so earlier. I was a little mad." Gohan just nodded. He knew that they had to wait there. Shin was coming down to Earth. Kid Buu would be resurrected. He wanted Gohan to defeat him.
Goku walked over to his son. "Hey Gohan. I think your Mom, and your brother will be here soon. So will the others." "Okay." Replied Gohan. "GOHAN!" yelled Chi-Chi, who came running toward him at full speed. Gohan turned around to see her and Goten running toward him. Chi-Chi reached him and grabbed him. She hugged him, but to him it was more like strangle him.
Goku poked Chi-Chi because he saw Gohan turning blue. Chi-Chi released him and showed him Goten. Gohan squatted down to Goten's level. Goten was a little shy. "Hi, I Goten." Said the bashful toddler. "I'm Gohan." Goten jumped onto Gohan. Gohan put him on his shoulders and then turned to Bulma. "Hey kid." "Hi Bulma." Gohan greeted the others, before Chi-Chi grabbed him again. "GOHAN! How could you? First you go to a barbaric planet, then you fight the whole time, when you should have been studying.
After that, you pick a fight with Mr. Arrogant Jackass and die. And you didn't come back!" Chi-Chi pulled out her portable frying pan, and smacked Gohan in the head. Gohan went flying into Goku, who toppled over. Gohan sat next to him, rubbing his head. Goku helped Gohan up. "Hello." A voice interrupted. Everybody turned. Shin was standing there. "Gohan, are you ready?" Gohan nodded. "Wait! Ready for what?" asked a puzzled Goku.
Shin looked at him, "If you would like to come along to help, then I will fill you in." He turned to Gohan, "Gohan we must go." Gohan nodded and blasted off, right behind Shin. Goku and the others followed them, though shouts of protests rang through the area from an angry Chi-Chi. Goku flew next to Shin.
"Can you fill us in now?" Shin nodded, "There is a new threat on Earth. Its name is Kid Buu. Gohan has the power to kill him." Goku looked surprised at first, but soon recovered. A few minutes later, they arrived at an open prairie. Kid Buu was already there. Shin nodded at Gohan. Gohan flew down to Kid Buu. Gohan then let out a huge yell, and in a burst of light, turned Super Saiyan 4! Goku and the others were shell-shocked. Shin looked at them, "Gohan wasn't supposed to tell you. But now you know his secret."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Vegeta: I am not saying it!
Gohan standing behind him: Do you want me to kick your ass?
Vegeta, pale: You know the drill
Goku: Just hit the little button and…
The whole Z gang: REIVEW!
