Reviewers – Thanks for all the reviews and I'll try and watch whatever you
want me too.
Info – Just to warn, the start of this story is a dream segment so if it seems a little weird... it was meant to be. Sadly, the good times for Gonin are going to end fairly soon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gonin was running at top speed for the first time in his life. He continued to run as evil voices from his past spoke to him from all sides of the darkened area. He continued to run towards a glowing light that he recognized as his dad. He finally reached his father, only to be punched away.
"Dad, don't you want me?" he asked looking at his father.
"Why would I want a weak child like you. You let me die," he said before turning around and leaving the boy to his old enemies. Cell and Frieza suddenly appeared in front of the tearing up boy.
"You're as bad as us. You let your father die in front of you, when you always had the power to stop us. You are a disgrace," they said in unison laughing evilly as the boy's tears became more apparent. He lunged after them only to be stopped by a small scaly lizard. He yelled some unknown words before he spoke to Gonin in regular Japanese.
"A dark heart is useful, but one full of guilt is even better cause then the creature full of guilt is completely under my power. Just give in Gonin, I can give you the power to save your father. Become a disciple of the great Majin Buu and his master Babidi. I could make you great," he said showing Gonin a future vision of himself. Gonin was standing before his father, his father giving him applause. Gonin suddenly turned to his younger self. An 'M' tattoo marked his forehead while an evil smirk was across his mouth.
"That's not me! Stop this!" he screamed before sitting up in his futon a cold sweat gracing his features and body. He quickly rose up from his bed and walked on shaky legs to the bathroom. He quickly rubbed cold water on his face to wake up and make sure he wasn't still in a dream. He looked back up at the mirror and found two figures looking at him. One was the small lizard from before; the other was a tall man dressed in blue with a white cape and boots. He was about as tall as Piccolo while his skin was a light red with two horns and an evil looking mustache.
"What do you think Dabura, would he make a good disciple?" asked the one called Babidi.
"I believe he would Master Babidi," responded the huge red man.
"I refuse to obey anyone as evil as you people," he spoke into the mirror. They both began to laugh before Gonin punched the mirror shattering their images. Babidi laughed again as the young boy began to nurse his sliced hand.
"Soon enough you will be under my control. When that day comes, you will not back away from what I have to offer," he said before the cackling continued. Gonin sat on the toilet seat wrapping his hand while tears formed in his eyes. The cackling ended after a few minutes and Gonin let out a sigh of relief. He finished and walked back to his room finally finding sleep again. Before he passed out, he looked over at his alarm clock. The red numbers read 4:00.
'Two hours until I wake up for school. How the hell am I gonna live through this?' he asked himself as his eyes slid shut.
~ Babidi's Spaceship ~
"The boy has power, but can we really taint his dreams enough to make him turn?" asked Dabura.
"It is only a matter of time before even the purest of warriors fall. How long do you think he will last?" asked the small lizard-like wizard.
"With what I have seen, just in time for the World Martial Arts Tournament that this pathetic planet holds," said the tall devil like man.
"I think that will be too much time, but given the power he showed tonight, I think that is reasonable," he said before his cackling laugh continued. In a small glass orb, Gonin began shaking violently as the wizard planted more disturbing images in his sleep.
~ Satan City Later that Morning ~
Gohan and Gonin were traveling to their schools before they both felt a very familiar ki signature heading their way. They waited for the purple haired warrior to show his face. He slowly floated towards them in Saiyan armor and a turban and sunglasses. Gonin immediately broke down and started laughing at Trunks as he floated towards them. He was laughing so hard that he almost fell out of the sky.
"What the ha ha ha hell is up with the ha ha ha shades and turban look?" he asked laughter breaking up his sentence. Trunks gave him a really dirty look before responding.
"Mom thought the whole hiding identity thing was a good idea. So when I woke up I found a clothes changing watch sitting next to my bed," he said his dirty look never leaving his face. Suddenly, Gonin quit laughing and got a horrified look on his face. He began to fall from the sky as he screamed out in pain and started to charge up his ki. He then looked up at Gohan and Trunks as his eyes when in and out of focus.
"Frieza and Cell! You'll pay!" he screamed before charging at the two boys. They both avoided his attack and started to yell at him.
"Gonin what he hell are you doing?!" screamed Trunks looking at his friend.
"Stop this!" yelled Gohan. Finally he slapped him across the face to get him to calm down. Gonin just got angrier and launched more destructive ki blasts. Trunks finally grabbed him and held him tight. Suddenly, Gonin shook his head and looked up at his 'brother'.
"What happened?" he asked weakly looking up at the older boys.
"I don't know, we'll have Piccolo check you out later. Right now, we gotta go," said Gohan giving his brother one more wavering look. Trunks continued to watch Gonin as well. Soon enough they had to split up. As Gonin flew towards his new school, Babidi attacked his mind again. Images of gruesome deaths and battles tainted his fragile mind.
'Please stop this, please,' he begged as he slowly began to fall from the sky.
'Then join me young warrior,' called Babidi through his mind.
"No!" Gonin yelled charging up to his maximum trying to fight the monster inside his head. Babidi continued to laugh before he stopped the assault. Gonin shook his head again and slowly powered down. His spikes fell to down into his normal ones and turned black. He quickly landed on the street and changed his clothes. He then walked into the school and headed for the office. He slowly opened the door and looked in to find a woman chewing bubble gum and blowing bubbles looking through some papers. He silently walked up and looked at her over the desk. She slowly rose her head up and looked him straight in the eye.
"Can I help you?" she asked sweetly as a smile exploded across her features.
"Yeah, I'm the new student," he said a small smile coming across his own face. She suddenly hit a button on her desk.
~Yes Mrs. Wormwood?~ asked a voice through the intercom.
"You have a Son Gonin here to see you," she said.
~Send him in~ he said through a sigh. Mrs. Wormwood's smile lost some of its size as she pointed towards a door. Gonin nodded his head and started to move towards the door.
"Don't let him scare you," she said before looking back down at her papers. Gonin nodded his head as he walked into the room. He looked around the room and found the wall covered in plaques and other awards. All made out to a Mr. Buttsavage, the principal of Orange Star Middle School.
"How are you today Mr. Son?" he asked looking at the boy over his desk. "Please take a seat," he said motioning towards the seat. Gonin quickly sat down and looked at the man in front of him. Gonin took a long look at Mr. Buttsavage. The man was fat, bald, and looked like he was about to have a hernia. Gonin couldn't help but start to think little of the man. He looked like he was about to explode!
"So Mr. Son, your test scores a little above average. So the best place to put you at would be Mrs. Honey's class. Would you be okay with that?" he asked.
"Yes sir."
"Good, now we have very strict rules at OSM and you are going to follow them. I have no problems kicking troublemakers out of my school. Do you understand me?" he asked. Gonin gave him a very dirty look.
"Are you implying that I'm a trouble maker?" he asked his looked trying to stab daggers into the man.
"I'll hold my judgement for a few days. Don't make me put you in that class," he said before motioning for Gonin to leave. Gonin started to but then turned around.
"I'm here to learn and make friends. Nothing more," he said before walking out and shutting the door softly. Of course softly for a Saiyan is a slam for a human.
'Defiantly trouble maker,' the principal said to himself.
~ Meanwhile at Orange Star High ~
Gohan waited anxiously as for his friend to make his appearance. School was really boring so he was hoping that Trunks could liven things up for him a little bit. The teacher had just begun to talk when there was a soft knock at door and it slowly opened. The teacher came over to the door and began to converse with someone before he finally nodded and came back to the front of the room.
"Class, we have another new student. Come on in, son," he said motioning for the boy to walk in. All the girls in Gohan's class immediately began to drool as he walked in. Trunks was wearing black baggy jeans, his usual yellow boots, his Capsule Corp jacket, and a black tank top like Sharpner's. Trunks stopped and turned towards the class. Videl almost had a heart attack.
'He's one of the fighters from the Cell games!' she screamed in her mind. She turned towards Gohan and found him smiling. She looked down to find Trunks staring at Gohan, a small smirk playing across his features as well.
"My name is Trunks Briefs. I like a good spar every now and then, and enjoy good food," he said his eyes never leaving Gohan.
"That's nice Mr. Briefs, please take a seat next to Gohan. Gohan cou..."
"Don't worry, I know who Gohan is," said Trunks walking up towards Gohan. He quickly took a seat and turned towards Gohan.
"Sup?" Gohan asked.
"Nutin' much right now," responded Trunks smiling.
~ Orange Star Middle School ~
Gonin stopped just outside the door and took a calming breath. He slowly opened the door and waved at the teacher. The teacher stopped the lecture and told the class to wait for a few minutes. She walked over to Gonin with a small smile on her face.
"How may I help you?" she asked softly.
"I'm... your new student," he said nervously.
"Gonin Son right?" she asked.
"Yes ma'am," he replied.
"Please Mrs. Honey would be fine," she said. She started to walk back out in the middle of the classroom and motioned for Gonin to follow.
"Class this is our new student, Gonin Son. Why don't you tell us a little something about yourself," she said turning towards Gonin. He looked out at the class and noticed that they were looking him over. He was wearing a long sleeved fighting gi just like Goten's only bigger. Some of the guys snorted when they saw it.
"My name is Gonin. I like to fight and eat a lot. I'm here to make some friends," he said turning back to Mrs. Honey.
"Well then, you'll like gym class tomorrow Gonin. Anyway will you please sit next to... Ryoko. Ryoko, could you please raise your hand," said Mrs. Honey. A girl quickly rose her hand, and Gonin started to walk towards the seat. When he arrived, he found the pink haired girl from yesterday siting before him.
"Hi, I'm Ryoko," she said smiling.
"Gonin," he said offering his hand. She took it and shook it a few times. He then sat down next to her.
"Gonin, we were just starting to study the Cell Games. Turn in your book to page 575," she said turning back towards board. When he turned his book to that page, his blood quickly froze. There on the page was a picture of the entire Z gang, himself included. He started to recover from his shock when he realized that he was in Super Saiyan in that picture. He looked around and noticed a few double takes by the students when they looked in their books.
'Damn that was close,' he thought before starting to listen in on the conversation.
"Okay class. Almost seven and half years ago, a monster of great power and evil came into existence. His name was Cell, and after killing many people by draining their life force before he challenged all of Earth to a tournament, which we later called the Cell Games. You were probably all to young to remember him, but if you have older brothers or sisters, they probably remember him very well. Do any of you have a family member like that?" she asked looking out at the class. Ryoko raised her hand and waited to be called.
"Yes Ryoko?" asked Mrs. Honey.
"My older cousin Lime talks about a memory just before the Cell games. She said that Cell cause so much fear in her village, that these gangsters convinced everyone that if they hid in their shelter they would be safe. I guess Lime and Grandpa didn't believe them and a huge fight broke out. She said that a boy with spiky blond hair and bluish eyes saved her village from General Tao. In fact she showed me a picture she shot of him before he left, and he looks exactly like the boy in our history book," she said pointing towards Gonin/Gohan's picture. Gonin gulped and started to sweat.
"That is interesting Ryoko, anyone else?" she asked looking around the room. Ryoko suddenly turned towards one of her friends and started to speak in a whisper, but with his Saiyan hearing, Gonin heard it perfectly.
"And the weird thing is, I swear the new gold fighter is the same boy in this picture," she said. Her friend just gasped before Mrs. Honey called for everyone's attention.
~ Orange Star High School ~
Gohan, Trunks, Videl, Sharpner, and Erasa all headed down to the cafeteria to eat lunch. Gohan and Trunks just talked about family life while the other teens just listened in.
"So how does Vegeta take it, you know, you coming to school?" asked Gohan.
"He was pretty pissed, but he couldn't say anything after we broke the GR yesterday," he said starting to giggle.
"Oh man! I'll bet Bulma was pretty pissed!" said Gohan.
"Oh yeah, she grounded dad to the couch for a week. Made me eat dinner last for a week, and your brother had to keep the destructive duo entertained," he said giggling again.
"Jez, I'll bet that's pretty rough," replied Gohan.
"Better'n gettin' hit with a frying pan," Trunks shot back. Gohan slugged him the arm and then sat down at a table. Erasa quickly sat down next to Trunks and opened her sack for lunch. Sharpner walked off towards one of the machines, while Videl sat down next to Gohan and pulled out her own sack lunch.
"Hey Trunks, the class room you said you like to fight, are you any good?" asked Videl.
"Better than most people," he replied.
"Prove it," said Videl. Trunks just shrugged and took of his jacket displaying extremely muscular arms. Videl did a double take, while Erasa started to drool.
"Come on Gohan, let's see yours," said Trunks.
"He don't have any, he's a nerd," said Sharpner walking up. Gohan smirked and pulled up the long sleeve on his shirt. Everyone gasped in shock as they saw Gohan was hiding most of his muscles.
"Who would win in a fight between you and Trunks?" asked Videl.
"Trunks probably, I haven't trained in about seven years," said Gohan looking towards his friend. Trunks just shrugged and started to laugh again.
"What's so funny?" questioned Gohan.
"That was one of dad's arguments. He said he didn't want me to turn into a geeky weakling like you!" Trunks wheezed out before starting to laugh again.
"Jez, don't remind me! You should hear the way Gonin lays into me for slacking off. He said he's gonna have back at full power just in time for the tourney," said Gohan blushing a little.
"You're entering the World Martial Arts Tournament?" asked Videl.
"Yeah, Gonin kind of forced me into it," said Gohan blushing again.
"Might have to join too. Make it more interesting," said Trunks. Gohan just nodded before he pulled out a capsule and opened it up. A ton of food exploded out onto the table.
"Mom made some for you too. She figured that Bulma still can't cook," said Gohan. Trunks didn't have to here a second offer. He quickly dug into the food and was quickly followed by Gohan. The food disappeared in a matter of minutes.
"Damn you guys! How do you pack all that away?" asked Sharpner.
"Years of practice," responded Trunks as he rose up from the table. "Hey Gohan, could you follow me for a minute?" asked Trunks. Gohan nodded and waved to his friends as he followed Trunks inside the building. Gohan knew what was about to happen, so when they reached the roof, he stopped as Trunks walked another 10 feet away. He stopped and turned towards Gohan.
"Alright, we're gonna have a little spar before class starts again," said Trunks as he shot forward at Gohan. He quickly blocked as a small smile came across his face.
~ Orange Star Middle School ~
Gonin slowly made his way towards the lunchroom. He was only half- paying attention when some bullies appeared next to him. He was quickly picked up off his feet and shoved into a locker.
"Give us all your money and that nice watch," said the biggest one.
"Or what?" questioned Gonin.
"This!" he screamed punching Gonin in stomach. He quickly screamed out in pain when he felt his hand break in several places. His friends quickly dropped Gonin and started to punch him themselves. Gonin quickly blocked all the hits and then threw a few himself. All of the would-be bullies were laid out in a matter of seconds.
"Did you think I was lying when I said I like to fight and wore this gi. Dumb asses!" he yelled stepping over their groaning bodies. He quickly made his way down to the lunchroom and found an empty table. He quickly sat down and then threw a capsule down on the table. A huge variety of food appeared after the smoke cleared and Gonin quickly dug in, not noticing the strange looks he was getting. He quickly finished and then walked outside the school and sat down by a tree as he began to stare up into the sky. He started to feel around for high level kis, when a very familiar one started to head towards him at high speed. He quickly looked around before transforming into a Super Saiyan and changing his clothes. He rocketed into the air and quickly sited Goten.
"What are you doin' here squirt?" he asked as Goten came forward.
"I was bored, can we play hide-n-seek?" asked Goten starting to smile.
"Not right now, maybe later though," replied Gonin smiling. Goten started to pout, but then quickly smiled again.
"Okay, bye Gonin," he said waving as he left. Gonin waved back and then quickly dropped to the ground. He transformed back to normal Saiyan and quickly changed his clothes again. He then sat down next to the tree and stared at the sky again. His started to fall when he felt the wind off of someone sitting next to him. He looked over and found a head of pink sitting next to him.
"Hi Ryoko," he said silently turning towards her.
"Hi gold fighter," she replied and giggled when he gave her a strange look.
"How did you..."
"Saw you transform and fly into the air to talk to your little brother. It must be great to fly," she said looking at the sky herself.
"I could probably teach you, if you've had some martial arts practice," he said looking over at the girl.
"I've been in and out of it sense I was five, would that be enough?" she asked.
"What do you mean by in and out?" he asked.
"Depended on how I was feeling. Sometimes I would go and train every night, while other times I would train once every week," she replied looking over at Gonin and piercing his eyes with her crystal blue eyes. Gonin smiled and shook his head.
"That's enough. Do you think you could come over during the weekend?" he asked.
"I don't see why sister Mary would disagree with it," she replied starting to stand up.
"Sister Mary?" he asked.
"I'm currently staying with a friend of the family in an orphanage so I could attend OSM. Actually, I pretty much got dumped off there. Lime has grandpa to watch over and doesn't have room for me. While my parents dropped me off and I haven't heard from them sense," she said looking down at Gonin again.
"Let me talk to my mom, I'm sure she wouldn't mind letting you stay with us," he said smiling.
"What do you mean?"
"I have to talk to mom first, but maybe you could come and live with us for awhile," he replied.
"I don't think that will work out," Ryoko replied.
"Why not?"
"Cause girls aren't suppose to stay with guys past the age seven," she said starting to walk away. Gonin quickly caught up with her and started to talk again.
"I'm not looking for that kind of relationship yet, I just want a good friend," he said slowly and looking down at the ground. Ryoko stopped and turned towards Gonin.
"Okay Gonin, talk to your mom and I'll think about it," she said smiling as he jumped up in the air in excitement.
~ After School ~
Gonin had told his brother that he would meet him at home. He remembered telling him he had something important to do, and he wasn't lying. He quickly broke the top of Dende's Tower and landed. He closed his eyes trying to sense his master Piccolo. He quickly found his ki and quickly ran towards it. He found Piccolo in a deep meditation as lighting started to streak from his body. He looked over and found Dende and Mr. Popo talking about bug problems.
"What's up?" asked Gonin silently as he walked towards them.
"Piccolo is preparing for the tournament. How are you going to?" asked Dende.
"I was hoping to ask Piccolo a few questions and get a spar out of him," replied Gonin. When he said spar, Piccolo's eyes shot open and he looked over at Gonin. He gave a toothy grin and then planted his feet on the tower.
"Let's spar kid," said Piccolo suddenly running at Gonin at full speed. Gonin quickly rocketed straight up in the air and looked back to see Piccolo following. Gonin smiled and then dropped both of his hand to his sides and launched a few sleeper ki blasts. Piccolo noticed the flying orbs but figured they were miscalculations on Gonin's part. He was quickly proved wrong when suddenly they began to follow Piccolo like a lost puppy. He quickly knocked both of them away and looked up to find a fist smash into his face. Piccolo quickly regained his composure and started to meet Gonin hit for hit. After a long brutal spar, Dende healed them and then Gonin and Piccolo began to meditate.
"Piccolo, is there anyway I can wish back my planet and the people?" asked Gonin staring at Piccolo.
"Sorry kid. The dragon can't change things in a parallel dimension. And yes, your timeline is now a parallel dimension because things changed so much. I'm really sorry Gonin," said Piccolo.
"I figured, thanks anyway," he said leaving. He quickly left the lookout and started to head home. He then stopped in mid air and started to scream in rage. He powered up to his maximum as tears started to fly. They quickly burned up in his aura, but he still felt the wetness. He then powered down and slowly made his way home with a heavy heart.
Sorry it took so long! Hope you enjoy the new chapter!

"Gonin Son right?" she asked.
"Yes ma'am," he replied.
"Please Mrs. Honey would be fine," she said. She started to walk back out in the middle of the classroom and motioned for Gonin to follow.
"Class this is our new student, Gonin Son. Why don't you tell us a little something about yourself," she said turning towards Gonin. He looked out at the class and noticed that they were looking him over. He was wearing a long sleeved fighting gi just like Goten's only bigger. Some of the guys snorted when they saw it.
"My name is Gonin. I like to fight and eat a lot. I'm here to make some friends," he said turning back to Mrs. Honey.
"Well then, you'll like gym class tomorrow Gonin. Anyway will you please sit next to... Ryoko. Ryoko, could you please raise your hand," said Mrs. Honey. A girl quickly rose her hand, and Gonin started to walk towards the seat. When he arrived, he found the pink haired girl from yesterday siting before him.
"Hi, I'm Ryoko," she said smiling.
"Gonin," he said offering his hand. She took it and shook it a few times. He then sat down next to her.
"Gonin, we were just starting to study the Cell Games. Turn in your book to page 575," she said turning back towards board. When he turned his book to that page, his blood quickly froze. There on the page was a picture of the entire Z gang, himself included. He started to recover from his shock when he realized that he was in Super Saiyan in that picture. He looked around and noticed a few double takes by the students when they looked in their books.
'Damn that was close,' he thought before starting to listen in on the conversation.
"Okay class. Almost seven and half years ago, a monster of great power and evil came into existence. His name was Cell, and after killing many people by draining their life force before he challenged all of Earth to a tournament, which we later called the Cell Games. You were probably all to young to remember him, but if you have older brothers or sisters, they probably remember him very well. Do any of you have a family member like that?" she asked looking out at the class. Ryoko raised her hand and waited to be called.
"Yes Ryoko?" asked Mrs. Honey.
"My older cousin Lime talks about a memory just before the Cell games. She said that Cell cause so much fear in her village, that these gangsters convinced everyone that if they hid in their shelter they would be safe. I guess Lime and Grandpa didn't believe them and a huge fight broke out. She said that a boy with spiky blond hair and bluish eyes saved her village from General Tao. In fact she showed me a picture she shot of him before he left, and he looks exactly like the boy in our history book," she said pointing towards Gonin/Gohan's picture. Gonin gulped and started to sweat.
"That is interesting Ryoko, anyone else?" she asked looking around the room. Ryoko suddenly turned towards one of her friends and started to speak in a whisper, but with his Saiyan hearing, Gonin heard it perfectly.
"And the weird thing is, I swear the new gold fighter is the same boy in this picture," she said. Her friend just gasped before Mrs. Honey called for everyone's attention.
~ Orange Star High School ~
Gohan, Trunks, Videl, Sharpner, and Erasa all headed down to the cafeteria to eat lunch. Gohan and Trunks just talked about family life while the other teens just listened in.
"So how does Vegeta take it, you know, you coming to school?" asked Gohan.
"He was pretty pissed, but he couldn't say anything after we broke the GR yesterday," he said starting to giggle.
"Oh man! I'll bet Bulma was pretty pissed!" said Gohan.
"Oh yeah, she grounded dad to the couch for a week. Made me eat dinner last for a week, and your brother had to keep the destructive duo entertained," he said giggling again.
"Jez, I'll bet that's pretty rough," replied Gohan.
"Better'n gettin' hit with a frying pan," Trunks shot back. Gohan slugged him the arm and then sat down at a table. Erasa quickly sat down next to Trunks and opened her sack for lunch. Sharpner walked off towards one of the machines, while Videl sat down next to Gohan and pulled out her own sack lunch.
"Hey Trunks, the class room you said you like to fight, are you any good?" asked Videl.
"Better than most people," he replied.
"Prove it," said Videl. Trunks just shrugged and took of his jacket displaying extremely muscular arms. Videl did a double take, while Erasa started to drool.
"Come on Gohan, let's see yours," said Trunks.
"He don't have any, he's a nerd," said Sharpner walking up. Gohan smirked and pulled up the long sleeve on his shirt. Everyone gasped in shock as they saw Gohan was hiding most of his muscles.
"Who would win in a fight between you and Trunks?" asked Videl.
"Trunks probably, I haven't trained in about seven years," said Gohan looking towards his friend. Trunks just shrugged and started to laugh again.
"What's so funny?" questioned Gohan.
"That was one of dad's arguments. He said he didn't want me to turn into a geeky weakling like you!" Trunks wheezed out before starting to laugh again.
"Jez, don't remind me! You should hear the way Gonin lays into me for slacking off. He said he's gonna have back at full power just in time for the tourney," said Gohan blushing a little.
"You're entering the World Martial Arts Tournament?" asked Videl.
"Yeah, Gonin kind of forced me into it," said Gohan blushing again.
"Might have to join too. Make it more interesting," said Trunks. Gohan just nodded before he pulled out a capsule and opened it up. A ton of food exploded out onto the table.
"Mom made some for you too. She figured that Bulma still can't cook," said Gohan. Trunks didn't have to here a second offer. He quickly dug into the food and was quickly followed by Gohan. The food disappeared in a matter of minutes.
"Damn you guys! How do you pack all that away?" asked Sharpner.
"Years of practice," responded Trunks as he rose up from the table. "Hey Gohan, could you follow me for a minute?" asked Trunks. Gohan nodded and waved to his friends as he followed Trunks inside the building. Gohan knew what was about to happen, so when they reached the roof, he stopped as Trunks walked another 10 feet away. He stopped and turned towards Gohan.
"Alright, we're gonna have a little spar before class starts again," said Trunks as he shot forward at Gohan. He quickly blocked as a small smile came across his face.
~ Orange Star Middle School ~
Gonin slowly made his way towards the lunchroom. He was only half- paying attention when some bullies appeared next to him. He was quickly picked up off his feet and shoved into a locker.
"Give us all your money and that nice watch," said the biggest one.
"Or what?" questioned Gonin.
"This!" he screamed punching Gonin in stomach. He quickly screamed out in pain when he felt his hand break in several places. His friends quickly dropped Gonin and started to punch him themselves. Gonin quickly blocked all the hits and then threw a few himself. All of the would-be bullies were laid out in a matter of seconds.
"Did you think I was lying when I said I like to fight and wore this gi. Dumb asses!" he yelled stepping over their groaning bodies. He quickly made his way down to the lunchroom and found an empty table. He quickly sat down and then threw a capsule down on the table. A huge variety of food appeared after the smoke cleared and Gonin quickly dug in, not noticing the strange looks he was getting. He quickly finished and then walked outside the school and sat down by a tree as he began to stare up into the sky. He started to feel around for high level kis, when a very familiar one started to head towards him at high speed. He quickly looked around before transforming into a Super Saiyan and changing his clothes. He rocketed into the air and quickly sited Goten.
"What are you doin' here squirt?" he asked as Goten came forward.
"I was bored, can we play hide-n-seek?" asked Goten starting to smile.
"Not right now, maybe later though," replied Gonin smiling. Goten started to pout, but then quickly smiled again.
"Okay, bye Gonin," he said waving as he left. Gonin waved back and then quickly dropped to the ground. He transformed back to normal Saiyan and quickly changed his clothes again. He then sat down next to the tree and stared at the sky again. His started to fall when he felt the wind off of someone sitting next to him. He looked over and found a head of pink sitting next to him.
"Hi Ryoko," he said silently turning towards her.
"Hi gold fighter," she replied and giggled when he gave her a strange look.
"How did you..."
"Saw you transform and fly into the air to talk to your little brother. It must be great to fly," she said looking at the sky herself.
"I could probably teach you, if you've had some martial arts practice," he said looking over at the girl.
"I've been in and out of it sense I was five, would that be enough?" she asked.
"What do you mean by in and out?" he asked.
"Depended on how I was feeling. Sometimes I would go and train every night, while other times I would train once every week," she replied looking over at Gonin and piercing his eyes with her crystal blue eyes. Gonin smiled and shook his head.
"That's enough. Do you think you could come over during the weekend?" he asked.
"I don't see why sister Mary would disagree with it," she replied starting to stand up.
"Sister Mary?" he asked.
"I'm currently staying with a friend of the family in an orphanage so I could attend OSM. Actually, I pretty much got dumped off there. Lime has grandpa to watch over and doesn't have room for me. While my parents dropped me off and I haven't heard from them sense," she said looking down at Gonin again.
"Let me talk to my mom, I'm sure she wouldn't mind letting you stay with us," he said smiling.
"What do you mean?"
"I have to talk to mom first, but maybe you could come and live with us for awhile," he replied.
"I don't think that will work out," Ryoko replied.
"Why not?"
"Cause girls aren't suppose to stay with guys past the age seven," she said starting to walk away. Gonin quickly caught up with her and started to talk again.
"I'm not looking for that kind of relationship yet, I just want a good friend," he said slowly and looking down at the ground. Ryoko stopped and turned towards Gonin.
"Okay Gonin, talk to your mom and I'll think about it," she said smiling as he jumped up in the air in excitement.
~ After School ~
Gonin had told his brother that he would meet him at home. He remembered telling him he had something important to do, and he wasn't lying. He quickly broke the top of Dende's Tower and landed. He closed his eyes trying to sense his master Piccolo. He quickly found his ki and quickly ran towards it. He found Piccolo in a deep meditation as lighting started to streak from his body. He looked over and found Dende and Mr. Popo talking about bug problems.
"What's up?" asked Gonin silently as he walked towards them.
"Piccolo is preparing for the tournament. How are you going to?" asked Dende.
"I was hoping to ask Piccolo a few questions and get a spar out of him," replied Gonin. When he said spar, Piccolo's eyes shot open and he looked over at Gonin. He gave a toothy grin and then planted his feet on the tower.
"Let's spar kid," said Piccolo suddenly running at Gonin at full speed. Gonin quickly rocketed straight up in the air and looked back to see Piccolo following. Gonin smiled and then dropped both of his hand to his sides and launched a few sleeper ki blasts. Piccolo noticed the flying orbs but figured they were miscalculations on Gonin's part. He was quickly proved wrong when suddenly they began to follow Piccolo like a lost puppy. He quickly knocked both of them away and looked up to find a fist smash into his face. Piccolo quickly regained his composure and started to meet Gonin hit for hit. After a long brutal spar, Dende healed them and then Gonin and Piccolo began to meditate.
"Piccolo, is there anyway I can wish back my planet and the people?" asked Gonin staring at Piccolo.
"Sorry kid. The dragon can't change things in a parallel dimension. And yes, your timeline is now a parallel dimension because things changed so much. I'm really sorry Gonin," said Piccolo.
"I figured, thanks anyway," he said leaving. He quickly left the lookout and started to head home. He then stopped in mid air and started to scream in rage. He powered up to his maximum as tears started to fly. They quickly burned up in his aura, but he still felt the wetness. He then powered down and slowly made his way home with a heavy heart.
Sorry it took so long! Hope you enjoy the new chapter!
