The Gallio Saga
Chapter 55
"TIME TO DIE!!!!!" Gallio shouted, and charged up a powerful blast.
"GOHAN!!!!!!" everyone yelled. Gohan heard them, and rolled out of the way, just narrowly avoiding the blast.
'I have to get up,' Gohan thought, and slowly got up. His eyes were just as distant as before. His hands shook, and he was panting.
"So you have a little life left in you, I'm surprised," Gallio smirked. Gohan took a slow step, his breathing became harder, and heavier. His eyes may have seemed to be looking at Gallio, and in a way that's true, but in his mind he was seeing something else.
"Sasami," he said slowly as he got closer.
********
"Has your son gone mad Goku?" Pikion asked the Saiyan.
"I don't know what's come over him. He was doing great before, I'm not sure what happened," Goku said.
"Well you know, I can answer that question," King Kai said as he walked away from West Kai, who was beaten into the ground. Enough said.
"What do you mean King Kai?" Goku asked.
"I can look into people's minds," King Kai said simply.
"What! You never told me that before!"
"Well you never asked." King Kai stood between Goku and Pikion, and looked into Gohan's mind. His antennas moved around as he looked, and he hummed as the process continued.
"Oh my goodness!" King Kai suddenly yelled. Goku fell over as a result.
"What is it?" Goku asked as he got up.
"Gohan's mind is not at all focused on the fight. It's like he's not even there."
"Huh? What are you talking about he's right there."
"Well his body maybe there, but his mind is so far away. And without his mind, his body is nothing but an empty shell."
"Well what caused him to lose his focus?"
"A girl named Sasami."
*******
Gohan suffered another left hook across his face, and a sidekick in his stomach, knocking him into a rock. Gallio laughed, and fired a thin blast at him. It hit his leg, taking him down to a knee. But still Gohan made no reaction, he just got up, and continued to walk towards Gallio. More tears rolled down his face, but his face was plain, and pale. As Gohan got closer, Gallio smirked.
"Shadow Dragons!" the dragons shot towards Gohan. The young warrior did not attempt to dodge or block. He just stood there, and was blasted back. Surprisingly through, he stayed on his feet, and continued to walk.
"I can't just sit here, and fire at him all day, that's boring," Gallio said to himself, and charged. Gohan took a right hook across his face, a front kick to his stomach, and a slam on his back. Gohan was now on the ground, he gripped some grass, and pulled himself up. Gallio grabbed his shirt, and jabbed him in his stomach a few times, then side kicked him in his face. Gohan backed up, but stayed on his feet. Gallio smirked, and fired a powerful blast. Gohan just started to pant harder, and he slowly said,
"Go to the beach, when this is over." The blast hit the young half Saiyan, causing him to collapse on his stomach.
"What's the matter with him! He's like a statue!" Tenchi exclaimed.
"His mind is gone. It's not on the fight, it's somewhere else," Piccolo said.
"His mind is gone?" Ayeka repeated. Piccolo nodded.
"I'm not sure how, but he has lost his will to fight. Without a will to fight, and your mind, you might as well be an empty shell," Piccolo explained.
"Now boy, it's time that I finish this, and since you are the first person in a long time to give me that kind of fight, I'll end you quick and painless, get ready," Gallio chuckled. Gohan didn't even reply, he just started shaking, and panting.
"Sasami." And he closed his eyes.
******* Gohan was suddenly in a bright, and white void. Cherry blossom petal flew all around him. He was on his knees with his eyes closed. Then a pair of hands covered his eyes, and a cheerful voice said to him,
"Guess who." Gohan opened his eyes, and turned around. When he did, he gasped, it was Sasami!
"Is it really you?" Gohan asked slowly. Sasami nodded, and smiled. Gohan just went up to her, and embraced her. "I thought I lost you."
"You'll never lose me Gohan, no matter what happens," Sasami said. When they pulled back, Sasami saw tears coming from Gohan's eyes, she wiped them away, and held his hand.
"Gohan, you need to do something," she said.
"What's that?"
"You need to snap out of this. Your mind has wandered from you. You have allowed yourself to be swallowed by your own guilt, I know I am important to you, and you are important to me, but you can't dwell on the past Gohan. My life seems to be over, but thousands of other lives are endangered of ending too."
"But I don't want to forget you." Sasami simply smiled at him.
"I know that, and I don't want to forget about you either. But you can't waste your life blaming yourself for what happened, no one should live like that. If you continue to dwell on the past not only will your life end, but others will too. Do you really want to sacrifice millions of other lives for only one? Could live knowing that you were cause of the deaths of others?" Gohan simply looked down.
"No," he said hesitantly.
"I know we will be together, but in order for that to happen you have to do your duty, and that's to save the universe," Sasami said as he made him look at her. Then she kissed him. Gohan was surprised at first, but then started to kiss her back. When they pulled back, Sasami started to fade away.
"Sasami wait!" he said and tried to grab her, but his hand passed right through her.
"I want you to remember one thing Gohan. I love you." And with that, Sasami disappeared along with the white void.
*******
Gohan opened his eyes, and found himself standing. There was a hole right next to his foot where Gallio missed. Gohan looked down, and said softly,
"I will remember Sasami, and please hear this, I love you too." Gohan was in his normal stage, and Gallio was smirking. The color had returned to Gohan's face, his eyes were again focused, but this time he knew for sure what he needed to do, defeat Gallio.
"Have you gotten a false sense of hope again boy? You were better off being nothing but an empty shell," Gallio laughed. Gohan looked up at the dark warrior, his eyes now had the fire back in them, and were now more focused on what he needed to do. He powered up to Super Saiyan, then Super Saiyan 2, then Super Saiyan three!
"In the name of Sasami, Washu, and all the other's you've killed, I will destroy you Gallio! I will never forgive you for what you did to Sasami, but I know for sure now, in order for us to have something in the after- life I will have to complete my duty here on Earth first, and that's to finish you!"
"He's back!" Piccolo smirked.
"And I think he's even more powerful than before!" Ryoko said. Piccolo nodded.
"I sense a increase in his power. He has a better chance than he did ten minutes ago."
*******
"Alright! Gohan is back to normal! I'm not sure what you did King Kai, but it sure did work!" Goku said.
"Goku I didn't do anything," King Kai said.
"But if you didn't do anything, who did?" Goku asked.
"I don't know, but whatever they did it sure did work," King Kai said.
******
"Get ready for the toughest fight of your life Gallio!" Gohan shouted and charged.
"Well looks like I'll have to teach just how powerful I am now than ever before!" Gallio yelled and charged.
'This one's for you, Sasami.'
AN: Sorry that it was so short, but I decided to cut away from the real fight, and go deeper into Gohan's emotions, and feelings. The fight will continue next chapter. I hope you liked this one though. And I decided to update so quickly because I couldn't think of anything else for my other fics. Anyway, make sure you read the next chapter of the Gallio Saga SEE YA!!!
