Chapter Two: The Awakening

The explosion shook the very planet and a dark aura could be felt across the universe.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!  I am reborn again, and this time you shall not stop me from my conquest!  Father you always said you were proud of me, even when I surpassed you against Cell.  Well guess what father your powers are nothing compared to mine, do you think I have told you everything about my mysterious power?  Not even the foolish Kai's could sense this within me.  I am currently in my normal form, you know I can go beyond this level.  How about I show you!"

Gohan powered up so much they could see the changes as his hair went to a blackish gold and a reddish black.  Even as it became spikier and longer, they could tell he was much stronger than a Super Saiyin 4.

"You see before you what is known to all has the Dark Saiyin 7 level.  The only known level to ever be a threat is the Super Saiyin 4."

Goku was furious as he powered up to his current maximum and was about to attack him, but he was stopped.

"Do you really think I would let you waste my time?  Ah, yes, I sense your dark side father, so to release it I will do one thing and that is tell you the only way to become a Super Saiyin 5.  I have seen the future father and you shall become a Super Saiyin 5, consider this my last act of goodness.  You must do what Kami did father, when he was in his original form, before he split.  You must become to beings connected to each other, however for saiyins this is different, you shall each have a copy of your current memories, however after that your connection to each other shall be shattered!  One of pure evil and the other of pure goodness.  Normally the good half would reach this new level and then you two would be one again, however this time evil shall conquer good.  Also while this is happening I shall freeze time, with only you, your evil half, and me not being frozen in time."

Goku understood and his need to become stronger to defeat his son again was great.  So he decided to split into two beings.  He had to focus every bit of his power and concentrate hard.  The pain was excruciating and he saw Chi-Chi in pain as well because of the bond they shared together.  Once it was complete everyone saw that the dark half really did look like he was evil.  His eyes were so dark and cold is skin had a black tint to it.

(I mean black as in the color black, no offense intended towards any colored people.)

Gohan smirked and froze time and with it his father's good half.

"So Gohan how long does it take me to reach this new level?"

"It will take less time if you fight me now!"

So the two fought and with time standing still there was no way they would age and it also meant that not a single day would pass for them.  The evil Goku (Evoku) was growing stronger and stronger until he had enough and snapped blowing up his power dramatically, if the others would have not been frozen ion time they would have been terrified or amazed, possibly both.  Gohan smiled a truly evil smile and unfroze time.

"Father it is time for you to become one again, you have reached Super Saiyin 5."

"But I don't feel any different?"

"Who said I was talking about you?  I was talking the evil half and now you must join or die and then die in Other World!"

Goku sighed in defeat and merged with his evil half and tried to take dominant control, but the evil half corrupted his good half, to where no good remained.

"Goku are you okay?"

"My name is not Goku or Kakorot, not even Evoku, Gohan.  You can call me Evaku!"

"Hey Gohan you never let me finish about my world's Armageddon!"

"Fine finish Mirai, how did you all survive?"

"Simple you Gohan!  You defeated the monster that threatened to destroy our world.  You defeated him and you can as well!  I know you Gohan, the one in my time line lost his father too and he the darkness claimed him many times, but finally he expelled the evil that tried to take control of him.  Do you really think you are capable of such a thing as to let evil control you throughout your entire life?"

"The prophecy proclaims that I shall become of light and dark."

"Yes, but there's a twist to that, light and darkness are what you were before your transformation.  Tell me if that is true, then did the first prophecy not come true?"

Realization hit Gohan like a shot o the head as everyone saw his aura become split in two as one half was of darkness and the other half was golden.

Memory Flashes & Good/Evil self battle

Gohan watched as his memories came flooding to him, all of them, good times, which made him happy and bad times, which made him sad, angry, scared, depressed, and afraid.  Then he found the bond he had with Videl and looked into her mind and saw she was afraid of him.  He saw everything she went through, her doubts, her courage, her fear, her determination, and finally her love for him and Pan.

"NO!!!!  I WON'T LET THIS HAPPEN!!!!  I WON'T LET THE DARKNESS CONSUME AGAIN, NEVER AGAIN!!!!  GET OUT OF ME NOW!!!!  GET OUT I WON'T LET YOU HAVE CONTROL OF ME AGAIN, NEVER AGAIN!!!!"

"What makes you think you have a choice Gohan?"

"Who are you, what are you?!  Show yourself now!!!"

"My name is Evohan or Evil Gohan and I am your evil half, my mistake I mean your dominant evil.  You are but a small bit of the goodness left within us.  I plan to eliminate you Gohan, just as I did to father.  He is like me evil, pure evil, he has such power now, such darkness to his aura.  He should stay this way don't you think Gohan?  Besides you can't win like this, you are to weak."

"No... No!  I won't let you take away my father!  Never in the entire universe shall I let you do this to him!  He was so pure hearted and now you have destroyed his pureness!"

Gohan attacked Evohan in pure rage and was quickly exhausting his power and strength.  He powered up as much as he could, he even went into his Mystic form, but it was no use he couldn't beat this superior being, who was stronger, more powerful, so pure of evil.  His rage left him and he cried for his failure of his duty to his Videl and Pan.  Then it hit him, he was the good half and every time a Saiyin transformed into a Super Saiyin it was through rage and a bit of darkness always took control more and more each time they did.  But what if... just what if there was another way to become a Super Saiyin.

"Your right Evohan, I can't win like this, every time we transformed into Super Saiyin, especially the first time, you became stronger.  Even when I transform to my Mystic form you become stronger, even with my own normal powers and strength.  So guess what I hereby expel my powers has a Super Saiyin and a Mystic Saiyin, including my normal powers.  I expel all the darkness from my tainted being that shall become more tainted with every step."

"Your crazy Gohan, do you really think you can beat me that way?  We're saiyins for Dende's sake Gohan, your crazy."

"Yes, for you see Evohan there is one other half that you forgot about.  We're only half saiyin and half human, so guess what I have expelled all my saiyin traits.  My saiyin side as guided me for most of my life and my human side was all but buried, I keep only my saiyin tail and normal saiyin strength that has nothing to do with ki."

Very good Gohan, you have passed your test.  With your willingness to give up your saiyin powers and only keep what helps make you a non ki trained saiyin, we the Higher Powers and Beings of the entire universe shall here by grant you freedom of this evil darkness and evil light.   You shall be our instrument in bringing peace to this planet.  Your mother as already passed over into other world, because your father, your true father the pure and kind hearted saiyin who would give his enemy a second chance to right there sins has gone to other world.  He shall stay there for the rest of this worlds existence, as for your brother Goten, we here by decree that he shall be brought back by your parent's sacrifice to give what little life force they had remaining to bring him back to life accepted.  Go now Gohan the prophecy of the Higher Beings and Powers of the entire universe is nearly complete.  You have all your powers restored to you.

"Please I don't want them, not if it means that darkness shall overcome yet again."

It seems our judgment of you was correct you have passed your final test.  In refusing to accept your powers return and yet again repeat this process, you have shown yourself worthy to be given your powers back.  You shall not have to worry about the darkness over whelming you and taking control.  Now try to transform into a Super Saiyin calmly and peacefully, this is the true power of a Super Saiyin.

Gohan nodded and found peace and pureness inside himself, but then he reached out to everyone outside of his soul and found there peacefulness and pureness.  He asked for their help in his transformation as he found the peacefulness and pureness of planets, suns, moons, galaxies, and even other species and in Other World.  He then brought this knowledge back with him into as he found his peace and pureness yet again.  This triggered his ascension to Super Saiyin, then Super Saiyin Two.  Eventually he even transformed into his Mystic form, and then he knew he couldn't become a Super Saiyin again.  However unlike before when he hadn't even attempted it, he tired this time and passed peacefully into Super Saiyin, then Super Saiyin Two, Super Saiyin Three, Four, Five, then into the Ultra Super Saiyin, which he dubbed Super Saiyin Six, and finally into the Ultimate Super Saiyin, which he dubbed Super Saiyin Seven.

Then he regained consciousness just in time to see Vegeta, Bura, Trunks, Bulma, Videl, and Mirai killed by the psychotic saiyin.  He then felt him turn his eyes onto his daughter, the only surviving member of his family.  Then it hit him like a bolt of lightning, the story Vegeta told him of the only saiyin during Frieza's destruction of the saiyin race to ever be more powerful than the saiyin royal blood line.

'The name, what was his name?!'

"Brolly."

The saiyin stopped in his tracks and turned to face the one who spoke his name.

"Brolly, truly a powerful saiyin, yet insane and evil.  You may be the legendary Super Saiyin, but I am the true legendary Super Saiyin.  Your power reaches to the point of Super Saiyin 4, yet you can only become an Ultra Super Saiyin.  Tell me when you first became a Super Saiyin, was it through rage?"

Brolly didn't say a word as he glared at the saiyin that stood before him.  He recognized the similarities between Goku and Gohan.  He knew then that Gohan was the son of Goku, known to him as Kakorot.

"You and the brat shall die today.  My master has seen to it."

"So Evaku made you bow before him did he, then the prophecy was never truly about me, but him.  However you are mistaken Brolly, you wish for me to be angry with you?  I am not angry, just saddened and disappointed that you never found peace in this world.  Let me help you, I can give you the peace you so wish and desire.  Because of the chaos inside of you a great pain rips you apart.  Your father must have been sad, and you must feel the pain of killing him.  I can help you, I can relieve you of this pain and chaos, and finally bring you the peace you so desire."

"You can give me peace?  Even though I killed your sibling?  Even though I killed innocents, your friends, and mate?  You'll give me peace from the chaos?"

Gohan nodded and said, "Yes Brolly let me help you.  Evaku cannot thrive without someone to help him.  He is pure evil and darkness, he cares nothing for you, but does care that the chaos inside you continues forever."

Brolly nodded as he felt Gohan enter his mind and find a child Brolly in a cocoon similar to the one that he was in, when Buu absorbed him.  Then he saw the Evil Brolly and a being he could only describe as a Supreme Kai, but evil.

"Welcome Gohan, as you can see I am a Supreme Kai, but evil.  I am the Dark Supreme Kai and yes I caused Brolly to be the way he is today, because Evaku is my new servant."

"I guessed as much that he had a master, so I assume you rule over the Dark Kai's that are in the underworld?"

"Very perceptive Gohan, the Higher Powers must have blessed you, for I can sense no evil inside you.  Why is that?"

"I am their instrument in bringing peace to this planet, at least from outside interference anyway.  No evil beings shall bother the Earth again for a very long, long time.  Now be gone from this innocent child!  You have manipulated him to your cause long enough, for without you sustaining him Evaku shall die.  No being can live without light and darkness.  Not even you can Dark Supreme Kai!"

The Dark Kai sneered, but was then shocked when he sensed the aura around Gohan begin to shift and take on many different aura's as well.

"I here by decree that you be banished back to the underworld!  The planet Earth shall be left alone for one hundred million years.  It shall be at peace with the rest of the universe.  Now be gone from this innocent that you have so cruelly corrupted!"

The Dark Supreme Kai noticed that his voice seemed to take on that of the Higher Powers as well as his own and before he knew it he was banished from the Brolly.

Elsewhere Evaku suddenly found himself with a halo over his head and at King Yahma's desk awaiting judgment.

"So Evaku, I see your record is short, yet it holds many terrible deeds done in such a short time, such as murdering thousands of innocents."

"Spare me the details, I don't feel a bit of remorse, it was fun."

"Fine, then you are here by sentenced to eternity in the Home for Infinite Losers!"

"What no!!!"

His voice echoing as he was dropped into prison with the rest of the villains.

Gohan had finished with releasing Brolly, but the side effect was that Brolly died and was brought before King Yahma.

"Brolly, you have committed a great number of crimes.  Murdering innocent's, your own father, Earth's protectors, and attempted murder of countless others.  Do you have anything to say for yourself, any requests?"

"Just one and that is for forgiveness of my crimes.  I will gladly accept any fate given to me, but I wish to have a clear conscious when I do receive my fate."

King Yahma was shocked, sure he had heard numerous requests before, but never had anyone asked for forgiveness of their crimes and still accept any fate given to him, with only one catch, he wished to have a clear conscious.  The rules of the Higher Power's were that if one asked for forgiveness and was tilling willing to pay for his crimes, then he had proven himself worthy to go to the Grand Kai's planet.  The Ogre's on the other hand were about to take him and throw him off of Snake Way into the H.F.I.L.

"Ogre's stop now do not throw him off Snake Way, he is not going to the H.F.I.L."

"But sir his crimes dictate that he goes there for eternity."

"True, but one law overrides all others, if the accused asks for forgiveness and is till willing to pay for there crimes then they have proven themselves worthy of going to the Grand Kai's planet for all eternity.  So it is decreed by the Higher Powers themselves!  But just in case put the chains on his hands and feet."

The Ogre's nodded and took him to the plane to the Grand Kai's planet in chains.
