The Day Dreams Died
Disclaimers: I do not own Dbz cause then if I did then the world would not be safe…
Author's Note: It's been a long time since I last updated here. You probably don't even remember what you reviewed so… I hope it's okay if I skip replying to them this time. I'll just thank you all. You all know who you are anyway. ^^
Another thing is that I got a complaint about the LAST TIME ON TRIPLE D. That it took up way to much space and they didn't like it anyway. So… I'll stop doing that and instead put up NEXT TIME ON TRIPLE D! How about that, folks?
Gohan took a hesitant step away from the man as his anger continued to build into a unbelievable power. This alien was more bizarre then anything Gohan had ever see. His power was well beyond that of his companions. Beyond that of Vegeta. Why did he let them tag along with him if he could easily take out the empire…
'Frezia's stronger.' Gohan told himself confidently, 'Frezia's stronger then any filthy rebel. A naive one anyway.'
"You have a lot of power." Gohan muttered, "But you are blinded from the obvious. That will bring about your downfall."
"Don't tell me how to fight, Gohan!" Goku hissed his anger building even higher, "What the heck happened to you?!"
"Happened to me?" Gohan repeated in incomprehension, "What are you blabbering now?"
Goku gritted his teeth as his power enflamed his body. The ground slowly caved in from the weight of his power giving Gohan quite a scare. The boy stumbled back, flabbergasted by the gargantuan increase in the man's ki.
Krillen's death was so unpredictable. Perhaps Krillen couldn't defend himself properly because he thought Gohan as a friend. It wasn't the same boy. This person… Was far from being the boy that Goku remembered raising. His son would never murdered someone… or would he? Goku stopped, his incline in strength paused as if it were holding it's breath.
Goku had never truly got to know Gohan enough to know how the child was. He was far too young when he died to have molded his morals into that of his parents yet. Goku's heart was pounding with his icy blood. He couldn't accept this. It wasn't possible. Gohan was dead. This was just a look alike child used to throw him off his course. The child would have to die… He was a enemy.
----------------
Gohan held his ground bravely as Goku leapt out in the first attack. The man's fists lashed out skimming past his ears as he dodged. His ears were ringing with the near hit as Gohan avoided the second fist. His whole being was absorbed in creating shield about his vulnerable points. Goku knew them. He was constantly aiming for them without any sign of holding back.
Gohan longed to tell the man that he was being stupid. Krillen was well and far away from the fight now. But to tell him would mean certain punishment for the boy. He would have to take the shame of becoming a outcast. A rebel like Vegeta. Just because he had not the courage to kill a earthling. It was beyond shameful. It was pathetic…
----------------
Goku was hard to parry off. His fist were as hard and cold as steel. They cut through his defenses leaving nothing behind. There was only room for the kicks and punches, that Goku implemented, to smash through. Bruises were starting to rise on Gohan's arms from the painful endurance they were being put through.
His eyes darted back and forth trying to find some sort of opening he could thrust an offense into. But the man seemed seamless in his onslaught. It scared Gohan. So much that he lost his concentration, leaving himself wide open to a attack to his left side.
Gohan realized it too late, just to cry out in trepidation as the front of Goku's ankle smashed just above Gohan's hips. Gohan gripped his pained side as the unmerciful opponent slammed the boy cruelly to the ground. Gohan rolled out of the way just as a foot slammed into the ground where his head had once been.
The foot didn't stop it's assault; ripping through the earth to Gohan's chest. Gohan blocked the vicious kick with his arms only to be hurled slightly off the ground and backwards through the air. He landed harshly, rolling numbly across the earth until his tumble was stopped by a large stone planted into the soil.
Gohan pressed upwards just become face to face with the humming ball of energy radiating from the man's fist. Gohan's eyes widened in shock, knowing only too well what sort of pain it would deliver him if it made contact.
A sort of desperate cry filled Gohan. He lunged out at Goku hoping to send the ball off target. But his fist skimmed so slightly left of the man's face. Gohan knew his aim was on but his fist seemed possessed by a force stronger then his mind. His muscles reacted to this and twisted his hands away from his opponent. Goku released the blast strait into Gohan's chest…
----------------
Gohan let a haunted scream that rushed to his ears like an echo. He went hurling backwards across the earth without any sign of stop. His mind numb with the pain, Gohan couldn't resister anything about him. He couldn't stop himself if he wanted to. Gohan felt rocks and dirt biting out at his flesh with the wind. But his eyes remained tightly clamped. His back collided cruelly with a stone wall. His body hung there for a split second, taking in the blow, then tipped forward. Gohan fell face first into the earth on the verge of consciousness. His breathing was deathly hallow as he sputtered on the gritty dirt. He dared not move, knowing he was beyond defeated. He was practically dead.
Gohan still couldn't comprehend the whole thing either. He clearly was stronger then this earthling yet Goku's rage fortified him. It was hard to grasp as so was the disobedience of his body.
Someone lifted Gohan roughly by his neck. Gohan limply complied without much choice. He squinted against the seemingly brighter lights of the stars here. The dark face of Goku shown before him. One rebel. He would die to one dumb rebel that's anger was even properly directed. Seemed silly.
His hand squeezed tighter and Gohan still stared blankly at him. Finally Gohan smiled softly and whispered,
"Baka."
"You killed my best friend." Goku hissed applying more pressure, "You deserve to die."
Gohan flinched, gripped the man's wrist weakly as if to lessen the strain. He still manage to muttered,
"It's a shame… that you did all this for nothing." Gohan sputtered, "Krillen, is it? He'll be upset."
"What? For taking revenge?" Goku hissed coldly.
Gohan said nothing finding his thoughts starting to cloud. He gazed at Goku with a tired stare as his grip on the man's wrist loosened. His mind registered only a few last words,
"Ha. I got you…"
"Stop it, Kakarot!" A voice shouted, "Krillen's alive!"
Goku dropped Gohan in shock. The boy fell to his knees and then back upon the earth. He didn't stir after that. Goku's heart was pounding in his ears,
"Nani?!"
Vegeta landed before the man with a grim expression on his face,
"The boy's a softy. He is strong but not sadistic."
"But…" Goku gasped looking from Gohan then to Vegeta, "I saw-"
"Check. If you don't believe me." Vegeta snapped, "Do that ki thing of yours."
Goku's face went pallid with disorientation. He gripped his chest and violently coughed. His breathing shorted in to gasps and he vomited upon the dirt before Vegeta. Vegeta turned up his gaze in disgust.
"I killed him…" Goku coughed.
'He's only unconscious, you unconfident twit." Vegeta spat, "His ki may be lowered but you need to rely more on your sixth sense then your eyes."
Goku looked up as Raikom made his sluggish way to his runaway opponent. Vegeta ignored the coming attacker and instead turned his attention to the boy.
"We need to move him out of the way…"
"Why bother?"
Both Goku and Vegeta jumped at the voice. They turned to face Captian Ginyu. He was smiling a lot wider. The purple horned man held out a hand and charged up a ki blast,
"Better just to finish him off. Easier to clean up that way."
Goku was about to shout out in protest when a hand gripped the man's wrist,
"Drop it." Vegeta hissed his index finger pressed into the temple of the alien's forehead, "Or you'll regret it."
Captian Ginyu lowered his hand slowly and Vegeta removed his finger hesitantly. Captain Ginyu cleared his throat loudly and announced,
"This is going too slowly. Boys! Attack them all together now."
"Yes boss!" The remaining three team members replied.
Vegeta and Goku backed up as the four of them charged.
"D*** it." Vegeta hissed, "I get Captian Ginyu alone."
"Too late." Goku retorted taking off for the leader.
"D*** showoff." Vegeta spat as the three left took their target.
----------------
Gohan stirred slightly…
"Dad…" He mouthed.
To Be Continued…
Please R + R!
