Dragonball-Z: Fight for True Power

Chapter 13: The 5 Dragonballs

(AN:OK chapter 13 is here for your amusement I hope you enjoy it and please review so I know to update more often)

A light breeze blew through a small window of a house in the mountains as Gohan sleepily rolled over to push himself up easier. Groggily wiping his eyes the young Saiyan made his way to the kitchen where his father and mother were "Are you ready dad?" he said still partial asleep

Goku looked up a bit startled "Oh Gohan your finally awake, yea son I'm ready, but are you? You've been sleeping for 3 days. I already got a handful of Dragonballs but we still have 2 more to find" Gohan looked at his father a bit confused then as if sensing the confusion Chichi showed Gohan the date, then pointed to a small box with the Dragonballs laid inside.5 of them

"You got 5 in 3 days? That's great well let's get going now so we can get the last 2" Gohan excitedly voiced

Goku looked up as his son with his dark eyes "Gohan you're going to be getting them alone. I have something to look into right now"

Gohan looked at his father a bit confused but just nodded slowly "Ok, but what do you have to look into dad?"

"Don't worry about it right now, I don't know if there's even going to be any positive outcome from this" the Saiyan father commented. Gohan shrugged his shoulder at this point knowing he'd know when it was time for him to know and walked over to pick up the Dragonball radar "Good luck son" Goku silently expressed as they both headed for the door

"BE CAREFUL" Chichi worriedly called from behind them

"We will be mom" Answer Gohan as he and his father took off into the air and into separate directions. Gohan looked at the radar in his hand as he flew along "Hmm looks like the next one is pretty far away guess I should speed this up a bit" And with that said a sudden boost of energy erupted out of Gohan and he went speeding by. The once green and brown of the mountains and trees was no just a blur that quickly became blue as Gohan reached the ocean and not long after that turned back to green. Gohan looked back down at the Radar "That wasn't so bad now was it" he thought "Now I have to actually find the radar

*** "Goku what your asking isn't possible!" exclaimed Dende "There's no way to give you a pass to the other world like you got from there to here...it just doesn't work that way"

"But this is important I need to get to other world and I will one way or another. I need to speak with some people" Goku pleaded

"I'm sorry Goku I wish I knew a way to." Dende was cut off as a voice protruded into there minds

"Goku I don't know what you're up to but don't try anything stupid"

"King Kai?!" Goku exclaimed not expecting his old friend and teacher to bear into there conversation

"Yes Goku it's me, and Dende is right, a living man is not meant to set foot in otherworld. It wasn't good when you came to my planet even using your Instant Transmission but it was a different story too, That was just me, your trying to contact people who are dead in person"

"I'm willing to take the chances King Kai, so if there's no official way to do it I'll go the only other way I can. Sorry to bother you Dende, Cya Mr. Popo!" and with those words Goku abruptly vanished.

*** "Where could that Dragonball be" Gohan yelled as he slammed his fist into the hard earth causing it to splinter and crack into deep crevasses. "Wow, there's like a cave system under here..." he spoke allowed, but to no one "Guess the ball could be down there."

Gohan slow rose a few feet into the air and a small blue ball of glowing energy formed in his palm "Only one way to find out..." the ball unleashed and came into contact with the ground.BAM! The explosion rocked the earth as chunks of rock came flying into every direction and dust swirled around Gohan. Seconds past and the debris and dust settled to the ground and as did Gohan "Well that was more then I expected, Time to go on an excavation I guess" And he went flying down into the hole he had created radar in hand with a slight beep growing stronger with every foot he dove into the darkened depths of the unknown. Several minutes passed with no sign of any bottom or for that matter of anything Gohan was completely blind by this time with no light from the surface being able to breech the eternal darkness.

Gohan slowed himself and rightened just floating in the pitch black, a cold chill blew right through Gohan making him stiffen "Where could that have come from.we're so deep there's barley any area down here, let alone enough for a breeze." And the teen warrior was right, the area this deep down was thick and hard to breathe in. Every breath felt like it took forever to be taken in and was gone quicker then it should have. Gohan began to gently float downwards.Time passed, almost 40 minutes of this gentle falling, and he could hardly breath any longer if the ground didn't meet him soon he'd have to turn back and find a new way to get the Dragonball. And as if feeling a hard mass touched Gohan's feet with a thud "thank god." Gohan breathed out heavily taking another hard breath in. "Goten.Videl.your.coming.home.sooon."

Gohan slowly raised up his hand and looked at the radar slowly clicking the top button to home in on the location of the Dragonball.It was directly ahead of him, but what else was there.the only light for miles.maybe more was the faint glowing of the radar. Gohan stood still for a moment gathering his thoughts breathing slowly and heavily his energy slowly rose in his body and began to focus in on a single point, his palm a small glow of blue at first slowly grew larger and larger till it illuminated several feet around Gohan's body "That's better" he thought as he took his first step in this unexplored area. His feet seemed to way a ton down here so much closer to the earths core then he should be, heat radiating from everywhere tremors erupting with every step he took the only sounds he knew were his own breathing and the seemingly distance beep of the dragon radar. One minute passed, then it was five, then 20, then finally nearly an hour after reaching the solid ground Gohan reached the spot the radar said the ball was located at. But he saw no ball just a large wall. A large wall.that moved. Gohan placed his hand to it and quickly pulled it back. The stone was hotter then anything he could have ever imagined before. So hot it didn't seem possible for it to still be solid. Gohan scanned the wall looking for something to help him. This wasn't going to be easy, it made no sense how did the Dragonball get back there.

*** Goku popped into existence and instance after he left it, now farther then anything imaginable from his original location. No physical means to return to his home only the kind that make no sense to any normal creature. Goku had set foot down on the beautiful planet that was home to the greatest warriors of all time, the Grand Kai's planet in otherworld. As he walked the familiar path he saw so many warriors he had known over the 7 year stay he had there. Many waved and greeted him not knowing how serious of a trip Goku had just made.

"GOKU!" came an agitated King Kai's voice "I TOLD YOU NOT TO COME HERE!" the squat alien came to a stop in front of Goku breathing slightly hard

"I'm sorry King Kai, but I needed to see some old friends, Yatsuhashi*, Karintou*, and Pikkon" Goku explained to King Kai who still seemed slightly less then thrilled "I also need to speak with Grand Kai"

King Kai looked at Goku for a moment "I know what happened to Goten and Videl Goku, but what you're planning is a complete mystery to me, so care to fill me in"

"I wish I could King Kai, but I don't have much time, just come with me and you'll find out soon enough."

*** Gohan still stood at the wall baffled as to what he should do and running low on ideas. He walked back and forth along it, daring only slight touches against it for weak spots. He'd already tried the ground around the wall for the 6th Dragonball, but had no luck, and somehow he knew he wouldn't, he know the ball was behind this wall with something else...something he couldn't comprehend. "There's only one way to do this.Even if it's stupid"

Gohan took a step back and let the ball of energy he'd used as a light float in the air as he powered a second blast, this one not for light but to break down the wall. Only a second passed before a bolt of energy erupted from his palms and sent a shock wave through everything around him and right through the wall. It quickly crumbled and before Gohan even had time to look a rushing jet came flying towards him to fast to even take in.

*** "I hope you know what your doing Goku" King Kai sighed as they walked along Grand Kai's world

"So do I King Kai.So do I."

**Ok I don't remember if those two had names when Goku talked about fusion, I'm almost positive they didn't but it's been like a year or something since I've seen these episodes. So if you know the correction let me know.ps they're names roughly mean Cookie Dough, Yatsuhashi is apparently some kind of cookie from Kyoto and Karintou is fried dough I believe.
