Reviewers - Thanks for the nice review ShadowObscurity. Hope you enjoy the
next chapter.
Bulma watched in agony as her future son and best friends son took one raspy breath after another. She had already hooked them up to multiple monitoring screens to make sure they didn't die. She had wrapped up Gohan as best she could, but blood was still leaking all over the bed staining it red. After what felt like ages, Goten and Trunks appeared in the doorway.
"Well, where are the senzu beans?" she asked.
"Koran didn't have any left. But like you said we got Dende and Piccolo," said Trunks while Goten continued to watch his older but younger big brother. Dende then walked into the room, followed by Piccolo.
"Which one should I heal first?" he asked Bulma.
"Definitely Gohan. I couldn't stop his bleeding," she said motioning towards the prone boy on the bed. Dende quickly set to work as a light wrapped around his body and Gohan's. After a few minutes the small 11-year- old snapped open his eyes and looked around. He looked at an older Dende, older Bulma, Piccolo, older Trunks, and a mini Goku?
"D...dad? Is... is that you?" he asked. Everyone followed his gaze back to Goten who was hiding behind Bulma's leg again.
"No Gohan, that's your younger brother Goten. You should know that by now," said Dende watching his friend closely. He then quickly moved towards Trunks and began to heal him.
***In the air on the way to Capsule Corp***
Gohan was flying through the air on the Nimbus cloud thinking.
"I need to come up with a way to keep on fighting crime, but conceal my identity. Hmm, maybe Bulma can help. Alright Nimbus, full speed to Capsule Corp," said Gohan as he watched the ground beneath him breeze by. When he arrived at C.C. he felt a lot of strange kis around. It seemed as thought the whole gang was here. Before he had time to wonder about it, Trunks and Goten came running out of the door.
"Gohan you're never gonna believe who's here," said Trunks.
"Yeah big brother! It's a big surprise!" yelled Goten.
"The whole gangs here aren't they?" he asked smiling.
"Uh huh, but there's also two new people," said Goten while Trunks nodded enthusiastically.
"Do I know them?" he asked with a frown coming across his features.
"Yep really well too," said Trunks as he smiled. They quickly grabbed Gohan and dragged him through the door. When they finally reached the living room, a boy about Goten's age and a man about his age were talking to the group. Everyone stopped talking when he walked in. The one about his age stood up and turned around.
"What's up again Gohan?" he asked.
"Tr... Trunks? What are you doing here?" he asked.
"Trying to find a new life... brother," said the other boy as he stood up. When he turned around Gohan gasped.
"You're me! What the hell is going on?" he asked looking at Bulma.
"In my timeline, that idiot Hercule wished back Cell. I faced him again, and barely won again, but the cost was the entire planet. I would have died too, if it weren't for Trunks," said Teen Gohan as he looked at himself in the future.
"Why would Hercule wish back Cell?" asked Gohan as he stared himself in the eye. His younger self began to tear up.
"I was so depressed after dad died, that I wanted everyone to know his sacrifice. So I confronted Hercule, and then everyone found out the truth, and he got desperate, and..." the younger Gohan began to cry. Bulma stepped forward to console the boy but was two late when he ran out of the room and took off into the sky. Trunks was about to go after the boy when Gohan stopped him.
"Don't worry about him, I'll get him," said Gohan as he set down his bag and quickly took off after the teen. He followed his younger self all the way to Satan City, and before he knew it, the boy landed right in the parking lot of his school. A lot of after school activities were just letting out, and needless to say they were surprised to find a little boy and Gohan land in the parking lot like it was second nature. The little boy began to tear up suddenly as he quickly spun around on his heels.
"This is where I blew up my planet," he said softly facing Gohan.
"It wasn't your fault Gohan. You and I both know that," said Gohan facing his younger self.
"No it was my fault!" he screamed as his power maxed out to SSJ 2. Gohan only flinched slightly from the power up. Then his face fell into shock.
'He has more power then I do! I knew I should have trained more!' he yelled at himself as he powered up as well. Some of the students had the foresight to call in the cops, which quickly alerted Videl. She was quickly on the scene and watched the new student Gohan and a young boy face off. Suddenly they flew across the ground at each other. Gohan went for a punch, while Teen Gohan went for a kick. They both connected as spit left their mouths from the harsh blows. Teen Gohan was the first to recover and flew at Gohan. Gohan quickly dodged most of the hits and took the other ones in the gut. Suddenly, he was knocked back on his butt by the younger boy. He looked up at his younger self as the boy smirked.
"I can't believe myself! Look how sloppy your technique is! Jeez, I'm surprised Vegeta hasn't taken you out yet for being so stupid!" he yelled at the older boy.
"Mom wanted me to increase brain size instead of muscle!" he yelled back slowly standing up.
"Yeah, she wanted me to do that to, but after I heard that Trunks was staying for a while, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to have a good spar or two," he said looking at his older self with pity.
"I'm kind of happy that she put me in high school," he said looking around at the buildings. Teen Gohan just began to laugh.
"Happy that you lost so much power! You can barely hold that form! How can you be happy!" he asked staring daggers at his older self.
"Cause I found peace," he said looking at his younger self with pity strong in his face. His younger self dropped his smirk and looked at Gohan.
"I... wish I could find that," he whispered his eyes growing wet but the tears quickly disappearing in his aura. He slowly began to float down to the ground and looked up at his older self. "Can we just go? I don't feel very good," he said as his power faded and he fell into his normal state. Gohan followed his example and watched as his younger self's eyes began to droop. Gohan smiled and then quickly threw the boy over his shoulder. He was about to take off again when someone stopped him.
"We'll talk about this tomorrow Gold Fighter," she said. Gohan quickly looked around and found that no one else was around.
"Where'd everyone go?" he asked looking at Videl.
"They ran off after the kid transformed saying they had to get Hercule himself. Course my dad wouldn't be able to handle you, seeing as you killed Cell," she said giving Gohan a huge grin.
"You figured it out?" he asked silently. Videl simply nodded and gave him a thumbs up.
"Don't worry, if anyone asks I'll just tell them their eyes were playing tricks on them. Of course, I do want a little something out of this," she said her smile growing wider.
"What's that?" asked Gohan.
"For you to teach me how to fly," she said her smile growing.
"No problem Videl. I have to go now," he said as he began to float away.
"Hey wait Gohan! What's your brother's name?" she asked. Gohan looked at his younger self for a few minutes before deciding on a name.
"He's names Gonin," he said before blasting off into the sky. Videl just stared at retreating form of Gohan and Gonin.
'I'm not gonna stop there Mr. Gold Fighter,' said Videl as she smiled and then walked off. Gohan arrived at Capsule Corp. to hear the whole story and pick up his other brother. Goten was quick to call the flying Nimbus and followed his brother home. When they arrived, Chi-Chi was waiting for them.
"And just where have you been Gohan!" she screamed at him as he landed on the ground. Goten quickly followed by hopping off on Nimbus.
"We were picking up the new Gohan. Can we keep him?" asked Goten. Chi-Chi gave him a bewildered look before Gohan set down the newly named Gonin. Chi-Chi gave the boy a strange look before tears sprang to her eyes.
"Isn't this you?" she asked pointing at Gohan. Gohan nodded as Chi- Chi fell to her knees and started to cry.
"Why are you crying mom?" asked the figure that was lying on the ground.
"They're tears of joy Gohan," she said. Gohan looked up at his mother as tears started to fall from his eyes as well.
"I'm glad you're still alive mom," he said before grabbing her into a hug and crying on her shoulder.
"Shh, it's okay Gohan. It's okay," she said as she patted his shoulder.
"Yeah, don't worry big brother. You get to stay with us now!" yelled Goten as walked over to Gohan and patted his back as well. Gohan quickly recovered much to the surprise of Chi-Chi.
'He still hides his emotions too much. Gonna have to break this boy again,' she thought to herself.
"Actually mom, I was thinking that with two Gohans here we'd need to be able to tell us apart. I kind of already came up with a name by accident when Videl questioned me. Umm... it you don't mind, your new name is Gonin," said Gohan looking at himself seven years ago.
"Gonin... hmm... I kind of like it," he said smiling. Goten quickly started laughing and tackled his new brother to the ground. Gonin quickly followed up and tackled Goten. Before the wrestling match could escalate, Chi-Chi halted it.
"Boys dinner is on the tab..." she was cut off as three blurs went screaming into the house. Chi-Chi just laughed to herself and quickly ran into the house. The animals on the outside were suddenly ran away in terror when they heard a few yells.
"GONIN AND GOTEN WAIT UNITL WE SAY GRACE!" screamed Chi-Chi as two metallic bangs were heard.
'I was hoping the Pan of Doom wouldn't be in this timeline,' thought Gonin to himself.
***Meanwhile in Other World***
Goku was enjoying a good spar with Pikkon when suddenly both King Kai and West Kai's antennas jumped up as receiving valuable data. Both the fighters quickly stopped fighting and looked at their mentors.
"What's up King Kai?" asked Goku as he gave a wavering glance to the blue man. King Kai continued to stare blankly up in the sky before he responded.
"That is very odd. Goku, you now have three sons," he said giving the man a funny look. Goku could only stare back.
"I know about Gohan and Goten, who's the new one, and when was he born?" he asked.
"His name is Gonin, he was born about 12 years ago, in a different timeline," he said. Goku only continued to stare.
"Congrats Goku," said Pikkon before he flew at Goku again and kicked him up into the air.
"We'll talk later King Kai," said Goku before starting his training again.
Hope you guys enjoy the chapter. I'll try and update the story as soon as possible.
