Chapter Four: Armageddon
Everyone in Other World watched as Gohan and Brolly disappeared to battle on Earth. Goku was still in shock at the power he felt radiating of his eldest son, Gohan. Everyone there was shocked that Gohan was far more powerful than his own father.
Elsewhere on the Planet of the Kai's, the Supreme Kai (Kibitoshin) and the Old Kai had sensed a massive power coming from the Grand Kai's planet and then suddenly disappear to Earth.
"Do you think the warriors in the H.F.I.L. escaped again?"
"No they're all still there. I've felt that power before, its Brolly he's come back to Earth. The other power I don't know, I've never felt anything like it before! It was so pure and powerful, it felt like it was stronger than Goku and Vegeta combined!"
"Then for the Earth's sake, I pray that this being is on our side. Let us show the galaxy this fight, let even all of Other World see this fight. I fear the worst for Earth as Armageddon has finally come for it. It shall either be reborn again or completely annihilated."
On the Grand Kai's planet a huge portal appeared and showed the fight that was about to begin. The same thing with H.F.I.L. and King Yahma's check in station. The same thing happened all around the galaxy as the dragon balls were activated and the eternal dragon's brought forth the portal and told all what was about to happen.
Meanwhile on Earth, Hercule was celebrating his latest victory as the world champion. Then everyone saw a portal open in the sky and on all the television screens. Along with Shenron's voice echoing through them.
"People of the Earth, the time for Armageddon has come at last. The two combatants you see are the two that shall decide the fate of the Earth. It shall either be reborn again and left in peace for one hundred million years or be annihilated. Not even your world champion can save you from this being. He has destroyed planets in the blink of an eye, while the other has protected this planet since the age of three."
The entire Earth was watching as the battle for the fate of the Earth was about to be decided by two individuals.

"Brolly your reign of terror ends here today. I shall not allow you to harm another living being for as long as live. I am Gohan Son, son of Goku Son and Chi-Chi Son. Prince of the Ox-Kingdom, husband of the daughter of Hercule. Father of Pan Son, brother to Goten Son, and friend to the people of Earth and all those who wish to protect the galaxy from harm. I vow on my life that before this day is done you shall no longer be allowed to harm another. I shall send you straight to hell if I have to!"
Brolly only smirked and sent a ki blast at Gohan, who swatted it away. Brolly then decided to try and blow the planet up and sent a large blast at it, but Gohan intercepted it and extinguished the ki blast.
"Now Brolly we shall fight, all ki shall be off limits. We shall still fly, but we will fight in hand to hand, strength versus strength."
The request was granted and the only sort of ki they could use was to fly. Gohan landed a punch right on Brolly's jaw. Brolly took the blunt of the attack and hit Gohan back, except he blocked it. They threw a series of furious punches and kicks at each other. They fought furiously and Brolly attempted a cheap shot on Gohan, but he blocked it and returned the attempted favor. His shot hit its mark and Brolly crumpled over in pain and Gohan slammed him into the ground, creating a very large crater. Gohan flew down and started a series of rapid punches and kicks, with each one pounding Brolly further into the ground. Then he picked him up and slammed him back into the ground and then he would repeat the process three more times.
"Now we end this Brolly, say hi to the others in the H.F.I.L. I forgot to mention only finishing moves are allowed to use ki blasts. Ka... Me... Ha... Me... Sen... Ko... Ha!!!"
The blast annihilated the ground around Brolly causing lava from the planets core to spill up and purify itself of the poison that was harming it. The lava surrounded Brolly and then consumed him, burning his body into nothing as he was then sentenced to the H.F.I.L. for eternity. The core lava then began to dissipate back to the core again as the ground around it collapsed inward to seal the lava up again. Once that was done Gohan disappeared and reappeared in the H.F.I.L.
"Prisoners of the H.F.I.L. I here by imprison you here for all eternity. As well as all those who end up coming here in the future."
"Gohan you fool, you can't keep us all here for eternity. You can't defeat us all once we escape from Other World back to Earth and destroy it."
"Hmm... You are right Cell, I cannot stay here in my current form and still live a life on Earth. So I'll use the eternal dragon's granted wish to travel to Mirai's time and bring back a purer being to guard you all."
So had it began, it ended, a boy from the age of three had started fighting to protect his home. Now the same boy has grown up and is now a man. From the moment his hidden powers revealed itself again and again, it was known that Gohan Son would protect the world from evil with his very life and would be a combatant in the battle of Armageddon.

Mirai Timeline
Gohan arrived and raised his ki for all to feel and waited for the defenders of the planet to arrive and see him. He was rewarded for his patience as his Mirai self came to confront him, thinking him a threat.
"So you are the person I would have grown up to be if Mirai Trunks hadn't interfered with my timeline. Interesting that the only way to tell us apart is by the scars on your face, while mine as none."
"What are you doing here Gohan? More importantly how did you get here, I know my power is nothing compared to yours."
"Oh, but your wrong Mirai Gohan, you can have the same power, but it is unnecessary, now that the Higher Powers have granted Earth peace for a hundred million years."
"Oh, but they haven't, we have five hundred million years. By the way I believe I know why you are here. The Brolly you defeated was the one from this timeline, he somehow used a tear in time to go to your time. The one from your time ended up here and we defeated him with a giant Spirit Bomb. I assume you had to advance further than level five to defeat Mirai Brolly. What level did you acquire to defeat him?"
"I acquired the seventh level of Super Saiyin. I've already applied the information for you to acquire this level as well and have the Oozaru effect of about ten to twenty times stronger than normal, in your mind telepathically. Your power is currently only twenty times weaker than my Super Saiyin 5 form. When you have unlocked this power come to the lookout and tell me if you will be willing to hear me out. Also I am wondering, in this timeline do you have a family of your own, not including mom, dad, and our friends."
"You mean like a wife and child?"
"Exactly, Mirai Gohan because if you do then I will have to use the dragon balls."
"Sadly I don't, all of the girls I liked were killed by the androids. We've only recently begun to rebuild the cities and because of Kami's weakening condition from dying, coming back to life, dying again, and coming back again, over and over, he is weak. Which means the dragon will be weakened as well."
"Why not use Instant Transmission to go to King Kai's planet and then to New Namek and bring Dende over to be the new guardian?"
"Not a bad idea, except that when Mirai Brolly came, he devastated New Namek. Few Nameks live and each year they wish their brethren back to life."
"Then why not have Kami use the Black Star Dragon Balls."
"Never heard of the Black Star Dragon Balls. I thought Earth only had one set of Dragon Balls."
"Normally yes, except these are the original dragon balls, created when Kami and the original Piccolo were still one. These are much more powerful than the normal dragon balls. There is only one problem they will be scattered throughout the galaxy. Instead of using them, have Kami release the minus energy inside of them."
"I see well how about you have Kami do this, I don't know what your talking about."
"Very well..."
In an instant they were next to Mr. Popo on the lookout.
"Kami, get out here now!"
"What is it Gohan? Ah, I see that both of you are here, Mirai and non-Mirai. I know why you are here, Gohan, and I mean the stronger of you two, here are the Black Star Dragon Balls, do you plan to call forth the dragon?"
"Yes Kami, in my timeline, father merged with the dragon and later gave the Black Star Dragon Balls to the Supreme Kai. I intend to summon the dragon and telepathically show him everything my father showed me in my timeline. the moment we retrieve the dragon balls and return to earth, Bebi will have taken control of the planet and Vegeta. Then when he is defeated and we attempt to summon the dragon, a dark version of the dragon will appear. It will release the minus energy contained within these dragon balls and Vegeta and father will of had to fight the seven dark dragons from these dragon balls. I plan to merge with the dragon and use the dragon balls if Mirai Gohan does not accept my offer to guard the H.F.I.L. in my timeline. Now arise eternal dragon, by thy name I summon you forth, Shenron arise now!"
The dragon balls started to glow and then floated up into the air and then lightning struck them and the dragon appeared.
"You have summoned me from my slumber, I will grant you one wish and one wish only, state your wish."
"I have no wish as of yet, however I can show you what will happen in one years time Shenron. I am not of this timeline, I come from the timeline where you have only been seen three times from this set of dragon balls. Do you wish to see what will happen to you?"
"So be it, however afterwards make a wish or else."
Gohan nodded and started the telepathic link showing everything that would happen because of Shenron. He even showed the end result where he had to merge with Goku so it would not happen again.
"Well do you accept my offer Shenron?"
"Nay, if this is to happen then must I not merge with Goku?"
"This is an alternate timeline where father is dead by natural circumstances. In this timeline Mirai Gohan is the strongest, at least until I showed up. If you accept then I can almost guarantee that you will not be disturbed for millions of years. If you still refuse then my wish is that I be given your powers, without having to go into a slumber after each use. Do you accept my offer?"
"Nay, if I were to merge with you then the paradox between times would cause untold catastrophes. I can however borrow some power from Puroonga to grant your wish if that is alright with you Kami."
"It is alright Shenron, after that is done send him back to his own time."
"I guess Piccolo was right about you Kami! Your nothing but an old fool, I can't see why he even merged with you in the first place. Your nothing but an old hypocrite!"
Shenron granted his wish and right away Gohan was transported back to his own time. He was madder than he had been in a long time and kicked the side of the lookout. This thus caused the whole damn thing to shake. He tapped into is new powers and made a double of himself with the soul purpose of guarding the prisoners of the H.F.I.L. his double also had the same power, but was immortal. Also a part of the double was making it where he could not be persuaded to do anything else that didn't involve the H.F.I.L. or Other World.
"Daddy is that you?"
Both of the Gohan's turned and looked at her. The original Gohan finished inputting the data about his mission and then sent him on his way.
"Daddy what happened to you? You used to be so nice and carefree, yet serious and stern when you needed to be. What happened to you?"
"Panny, do you remember the stories I used to tell you about the one saiyin that became evil and tried to take over the world by use of- the evil warriors of the past?"
"I remember, that's when Grandpa Goku and Prince Vegeta went into the center of the time vortex and sacrificed themselves to slavery in order to restore the timeline. Then they were released by unknown forces and now that rogue saiyin killed everyone again. But what does that story have to do with anything?"
"Panny in that story when the saiyin returned to the present time or so he thought, he found the world under the control of Coola and Kolda, he found out that his mother and mate had been killed and that his only daughter was a freedom fighter. She told him of a prophecy that came to pass and he turned evil and tried to rule the world but was killed in the end. Panny that saiyin was me, it happened again during the fight with the rogue saiyin. I went to the seventh Dark Saiyin level and nearly killed father. However the mysterious powers that brought father and Vegeta back also saved me."
"No it can't be you are pure hearted! It must have been the minus energy from the dragon balls, some of it must have sipped into you!"
"Hmm... a very good theory and it is only half true. It wasn't minus energy, but dark and corrupted energy of evil that took control of me. Ever since Cell, if it hadn't been for your Uncle Goten being born it might have happened much sooner. Then I met your mother and made friends my own age, but before I met your mother I had been dating a girl called Lime. It didn't work out for us, but we are still good friends, however I'm veering off track. Any way when your grandfather came back it slowed down even more, but it was still taking over slowly. When I married your mother and we had you it slowed down even more, where I couldn't detect it, nor could your mother through our bond. Still it was there, but dormant, when the incident with Froola happened and we traveled back to our own time or so we thought and I faced Coola. When I did I summoned the repaired Z Sword and struck him down and then obliterated him. The dark energy came to life and a dark surge of energy overtook me, burying my good side. I brought forth the ones that had caused so much of my pain to happen and forced them under my control. Your grandfather came and killed me to free me from the evil that controlled me. When the timeline was restored I was brought back with it as part of Vegeta's sacrifice. However they made an error in not checking to see if I was entirely sane. Your mother knew I was unstable and that's why we tried to spend as much time together as possible and to give you a brother or sister. Listen I want you to go to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and wait for me. In this timeline you can't become a Super Saiyin."
"But I know how, Grandpa Goku told me how, just visualize a great loss and fuel your anger and if you push your power far enough you might become a Super Saiyin. By the way what's wrong with your voice, it is echoing itself."
"That's because the Higher Powers are still linked with me. Just hold on for a second and I'll ask them if my job is done for Earth."
Higher Powers of the Universe, is my job for Earth finished?
For now Gohan, but an old enemy of yours is coming from a place where the dark energy first tainted you when you were a child. When you were first kidnapped, but saved by your father and Kami. Or is it the other way around, that you saved them? He shall return in one year's time and attempt to hurt you where it hurts most. Also your mate wishes for us to deliver you a message. We will use our powers to let her speak to you directly.
Gohan that rogue saiyin... sniff he... sniff killed our unborn children. I was going to tell you tonight, but then you lost your sanity again and I thought you might try and corrupt them when they were born.
My children were killed... why must I be tormented so awfully! crying I'm sorry Videl, but now I'm better I've found a new way to become Super Saiyin, one that is not tainted by darkness. I am truly the strongest mortal in the universe. I can never be the strongest unless I leave you and Panny to become one of the Higher Beings. I love you Videl, but for now I must go, King Yahma has told me that you will be brought back to life as soon as he is given the okay by the Higher Powers.
