Mirai Dragonball Z
When Everything is Said and Done
Oneshot
He was only just a child when everything began in this world. He watched the rise and fall of those known as the Z Warriors. Gohan was the only one to survive the destruction thanks to his mentor and second father, Piccolo. He was also the one that raised the salvation of the future and the hope of the past.
Dark coal eyes were no longer filled with childhood innocence as he stared down at the wastle land below. Times had drastically changed since when he was first brought into this world. No longer did the people walk around freely, now they stayed hidden in fear. The Androids had tore down everything his family and friends had worked to protect for so long.
Now it seemed that everything had fallen onto his shoulders and those of a boy to young to even remember those before him. Trunks was a strong half saiyan, Gohan wouldn't deny that, but he lacked the anger to let it all go. Saiyan Rage, he'd heard the term used a lot whenever it came to him. Yet he truely didn't understand it at all.
He was staring death in the eyes each time he came up against the Androids. In the end, he only prayed that Trunks would survive it all. Gohan knew his mother loved him, but he also knew that she would shed many tears with his passing. It had been years since he'd set foot in the place he had called home until he was around eight years of age.
It had been exactly six months after his father's death when everyone else died, and with their deaths his old self died away as well. Bulma still compared him to his father, but in the end he knew that his father was a lot greater than he was. Maybe in the end he could do something that would help this world free itself.
When everything is said and done, Hope is all that lives. Just like the words written on the side of Trunks time capsule, Hope would be all that survived in the end. Could it be that Hope was the boy he had trained, or was he the Hope that Trunks relied in? Either way, nothing would save them but power.
When everything is said and done, Gohan no longer lived. Yet the Hope he inspired in others continued until Earth's dying days.
Gwg: Yes, another short one, but not too short. This is the last one of these that I have for now and hopefully I will have another one soon. If you want one on a specific character then just put it in your review and I will do (if I can). Until next time, ja ne.
