don't own Three Days Grace, DUH)
A/N: I'M BACK, and I'm a bad bad man. I removed my other story. I LIED AND I HATE IT, but I really can't remember where I was taking that story so I deleted it, sorry again to those of you who wanted it finished but I didn't have the patience for it. I will be posting a new story though, another Gohan romance/angst fic, called 'One Fate' so look for it soon. I thought I left enough clues but so far only three people have guessed who 'S' is. Congratulations to Jay (First to know), someone, and wicked angel grls, you are great detectives. It also seems that a few of you would like to see 18 thrown into my poll so I have a new poll. You, my fans, have decided that this fic will have romance, but I WILL NOT BE CHANGING THE GENRE. So who will win Gohan's heart BRA, 18, or LIME. If anyone would like to change his or her previous vote just tell me.
THE STANDINGS ARE: BRA-8, LIME-1, and #18-0

Gohan flew up into the stands, ignoring the pain in his left leg, where Bulma, Trunks, and Bra were sitting. Gohan landed on his good leg keeping the weight off the other.
"OH MY GOD GOHAN YOU NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR!" Bulma screamed at the sight of the bone sticking out through his shin area.
"Are you ok Gohan?" asked Bra worriedly.
"Don't make such a big deal out of this guys I can fix it in a second, but first we need to get to Vegeta he's in trouble. You will all come with me, I'll force one of the three to take us there." said Gohan as he stretched his leg out and forced the bone back underneath the skin.
"Look Gohan I really don't think you should be doing that." said Bulma "We should get a professional."
"We don't have the time. Grab my foot and pull it out while twisting it a little to the right." replied Gohan as he held out his foot for Bulma.
"I hope you know what you're talking about." Bulma grabbed his foot and did as he said until they heard a sickening crack and his bone was set back where it should be. "I think I'm going to be sick."
"COOL" said Trunks and Bra together.
"Ok I can heal it by myself now. Now we need to go find Yamcha, Tien, or Krillen, and get them to take us to Vegeta."
"I think they took Krillen into a room to be checked on by DOCTORS" said Bulma resentfully.
"Well it doesn't have to be Krillen I know Tien can use Instant Transmission, and I'm sure Yamcha can too. We need to stick together you could all be in danger, now let's get looking."

Vegeta's fight had been going on for some time and Vegeta was unable to compare with the speed and power of his opponent. He had sustained multiple broken bones, bruises, and cuts throughout his body.
Vegeta looked at his opponent from his position kneeling on the ground. He was unharmed and wasn't even out of breath. 'Damn him, his power is incredible. I just hope Gohan is able to take him. I'm sorry Bulma, Trunks, .....Bra, I die for you this day.' Vegeta stood back up and powered up as far as his remaining energy would allow, which was barely half of his maximum strength. Vegeta studied his opponent one last time, not only was his power different so was his attitude. He had known this man for some time and had always envied the strength he possessed but now his envy turned to pity and anger. 'He never needed you and yet he still punishes himself over your death and now you betray his trust. One day he will have his revenge and then maybe you'll see for yourself what kind of person you caused him to be. You are the reason he protects my daughter and now you are as much his enemy as his ally he will be stuck with a choice he may not be able to make.' Vegeta thought to himself. Blood flew from his mouth as he shouted and charged his opponent with everything he had. "I MAY DIE, BUT I DO SO WITH THE HONOR AND PRIDE OF BEING A PRINCE, A HUSBAND, AND A FATHER!"

Gohan had managed to corner Yamcha with the help of Trunks and Bra. "Look I'll make this real simple for you, either you take us to Vegeta or I can make you suffer until the day I decide to kill you." said Gohan angrily. Just to prove his point he grabbed Yamcha's arm before he could pull it away and bent it in the opposite direction. The bones in Yamcha's arm began to crack under the pressure threatening to break.
"OK OK Just please stop" begged the pitiful ex bandit.
"You guys grab on to me now," he said motioning for Bra, Bulma, and Trunks. They all did as they were told and placed a hand on him. "Ok now you pitiful worm take us or you'll be in even more pain." Gohan applied more pressure to Yamcha's arm while Yamcha quickly placed two fingers from his other hand on his forehead and used Instant Transmission.

It had begun to rain over the battlefield. Vegeta lay on the hard desert ground bleeding from every cut on his body. He looked at his arms they were hardly recognizable they were burned and bloody. Rain continued to fall washing away old blood and allowing fresh blood to take its place. He had lost an eye and the use of his legs. He could still sense his opponent a few feet away just looking at him. Vegeta sat up enough to look at his rival. "What's wrong I know you've killed before why are you waiting. Are you starting to pity me? WELL SAVE IT, I don't need your pity, we are warriors and I cannot win in my condition, so as a warrior you shall end your opponent's life." He continued to just look at Vegeta not making a move. "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?" Suddenly Vegeta felt five new power levels appear and S had placed two fingers to his forehead and vanished. 'DAMN HIM'
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
Gohan and the rest arrived just in time to see the figure of S vanish. Gohan could tell he wasn't wearing his cloak but he had vanished too quickly for Gohan to see who he was. Now the only thing in the surrounding area was a beaten and bloody Vegeta lying on the ground. The sky was pitch black and rain poured down, every once in a while lightening would flash across the sky.
"NOOO" Bulma screamed and ran off to Vegeta with Bra and Trunks on her heel. Gohan let go of Yamcha's arm, but the second he did Yamcha used Instant Transmission again.
Gohan walked over to the group. "Vegeta why didn't you tell me?" said Gohan slightly angry at the prince's arrogance.
"You know very well why, but it doesn't matter now. I thought I might be able to end this stupid fight alone, and I was wrong."
"Dad please you can't die" cried Bra kneeling down to place her head on his scarred chest.
"Vegeta why?" Bulma was also crying and kneeling next to her love while holding his bloody hand, rain mixing in with the tears streaming down her face.
Trunks was still standing but tears still fell from his face while he stared down at the ground.
"I did this for you my family. I wanted to stop them from hurting you all. Gohan do not blame yourself for them attacking us, we chose to help you. Bulma please look out for him and our children and know that I will always love you." Bulma gave a big smile at him for actually using her name. "Trunks I'm proud of you, you will grow up to be a great fighter and I'm sorry for my roughness, but one day you'll understand why I did what I did."
Trunks continued to cry "No dad, no you're not going to die."
"Do not worry you still have your mother, you will be fine. Bra I'm very proud of you as well," Bra looked up her face was streaked with tears and rainwater, her hair was sticking to some places on her face. Vegeta lifted his free hand and moved a hair away from her face. "You too will become a great fighter, Gohan has taught you well. I will always be proud of the both of you. Maybe one day I will come back, know that I would do anything to always be there for you, my family. Gohan, thank you for honoring your word and also for giving me the chance to speak with my family before I go," said Vegeta who was actually smiling at the demi-saiyan.
Gohan stared back in disbelief at the smile, but slowly smiled back. "Of course, I would do anything for my Prin... no King." Vegeta just smiled even more.
"Ahh I see that I may die but the Saiyan spirit will live on in you. I'm am honored to have had you as an ally. You will now take the legacy of the Saiyan race you are the heir to the throne now. I never told you this but since that day after your mother died I always thought of you as a son and was proud of how you acted more and more Saiyan over time."
Gohan stood there stunned. "I...I ...Thank you." he said while bowing his head.
"No I thank you, you trained my daughter and protected my family when I could not, I would be proud to call you my own. I pray that one day our race will flourish again and as long as you three remain there is still hope for my dream." Vegeta could feel his mind becoming more and more fuzzy as his time neared its end. "Bulma,... Bra,... Trunks,...Gohan.........Good...bye" his final breath left his mouth, his eye closed, and his body went limp.
"VEGETA!" Bulma cried. Bulma, Bra, and Trunks continued to cry over the deceased warrior's body while Gohan stood and watched with an old familiar pain lingering in his heart. He had no more tears to shed, even for the Saiyan Prince, but he still felt the pain of loss.
'I will kill him. Whoever did this to you will pay, I swear I will take revenge for you.' Gohan bent down and picked up the fallen Prince's body. "Come on we should bury him. Trunks you can carry your mom." Gohan took off into the sky while Bra and Trunks followed.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
Gohan soon spotted the all too familiar grove that he visited annually. He descended with Trunks, Bulma, and Bra right behind him. Gohan landed a few feet from the four mounds lined up in the center of the grove.
"Gohan what is this place?" questioned Bulma upon being let down by her son.
"I think you know. If it's alright with you I would like to bury Vegeta here."
"Yes of course." said Bulma as she, Bra, and Trunks walked closer to the four mounds, each marked with a withered flower.
"Who were they?" question Trunks as Gohan placed Vegeta on the ground while he began to use small ki blasts to clear a hole in the ground.
"My mentor, Piccolo," said Gohan pointing to the one on the far left "my friend, Dende." pointing to the next on over as he went on "my mother, Chi- Chi, and my brother, Goten." Gohan turned back to Vegeta and lifted him back up then placed him in the hole next to his brother's grave.
"You had a brother?" asked Bra as Gohan finished covering Vegeta's grave.
Gohan smiled sadly while nodding his head. "He would have been close to your age if he were still here." The rain had finally stopped and a lone ray of light shone through the clouds right into the grove.
"Gohan what about the tournament?" questioned Bulma.
"It doesn't matter now it's probably over anyway, but I still have to go back there and find the others and finish this. I will take revenge for Vegeta."
"NOOO! Gohan." yelled Bulma tears falling from her face once again. "Please don't do it, I know you're angry for what they did, but don't...don't...I couldn't stand it if you died too." she fell to the ground and cried into her hands while Gohan stood shocked at her actions towards him. "Please...please don't." she begged with her hands still covering her face.
Gohan looked down at the ground. "Bulma...I...I...I'm sorry..." Bulma looked up in surprise. "You must understand that they have caused you to suffer just as much as me, and I won't stand for it." Bulma just nodded weakly before standing once again and pulling Gohan into a hug.
"Just...don't die, I don't want you to die too." Bra and Trunks soon followed suit and began hugging Gohan.
"I don't want you to go either." cried Bra as she looked up at Gohan.
Gohan smiled down at the younger Saiyan. "I promise that I won't die." 'I've come too far to die now, I will have my revenge and avenge Vegeta's death.' "They will be looking for you and I can't be fighting and trying to protect you as well, but I can't think of anyplace that would be safe." 'They could hide in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, but if they find out where they are they could destroy the door and then they'd be stuck in there, that's why I haven't used it myself.'
"Take us with you." said Bulma. Gohan looked at her in surprise. "Bra, Trunks, and I can stay a distance away while you fight."
"No it's way too risky, there are four of them and I alone...wait I got it!" '18 she was at the tournament and she was able to beat Yamcha but that's not saying much. Maybe she'll help us out.' "We need to get back to the tournament quick." Gohan picked up Bulma. "Hurry follow me you two." He then blasted off into the sky followed by Trunks and Bra.

"AND THE WINNER OF THE 24th TENKAICHI BUDOKAI BY DEFAULT IS 18" said the announcer. They had waited for Gohan to enter the ring for half an hour at the request of 18 but the judges wouldn't allow for any more time. "NOW IT'S TIME FOR HER TO FACE THE WORLD'S SAVIOR HERRRRCUUULE!" Hercule came out of his private training room and into the arena giving his victory sign.
"I Hercule the world champ, have come to grace you with my presence and give you the honor of facing me in a one on one match." he said to 18 as he entered the ring.
'What a fool' "I hope you're ready to fight because I hate people who talk too much." replied 18 as she began cracking her knuckles. "I think I've had enough of everyone thinking you were the one to save the Earth from Cell, and please that so called 'real' video footage of the Cell games was sooo fake. I mean you could tell they were actors wearing masks, how pathetic are you." she said for only Hercule to hear, as she prepared for her attack.
"I...UH...I did defeat Cell." said Hercule in fake confidence.
"HA don't make me laugh, I was there, I know you stole the credit from someone who really deserves it."
Hercule began sweating "That's not possible ma'am, if you were there you would know that I was the one who beat Cell."
"Your lies are really starting to annoy me, so how about I prove to the world how much of a fake you really are."
"IT SEEMS THE CHAMP IS STARING DOWN HIS OPPONENT AND DECIDING WHICH OF HIS AWESOME ATTACKS TO USE." said the announcer from the sideline.
"OH man.....Uh ok I'll do anything, just please, I have a reputation to keep up." he whispered over to her as she sweatdropped.
"1,000,000 zeni, and I'll throw the fight, but if you decide afterward that you want to go back on your end of the deal I'll make sure you never fight again."
Hercule's eyes bugged out of his head "1,000,000 zeni? but...but..." 18 just gave him a death glare. "ok, ok, oh man what I do to be famous."
"Ok then let's get this fight started." she charged at him relatively slow for her, but still too fast for Hercule's eyes to follow. She appeared directly in front of him and threw a punch that went right by his head. "Ok make your move now." she whispered.
"Uh..Right" he pretended to dodge her already missed punch and then back flipped a distance away. "OK TIME TO END THIS. DYNOMITE PUNCH." He began charging at her as fast as he could and threw a punch directly at her forehead. The punch connected but 18 just stood there.
"Is that the best you can do?" she whispered.
"Uhh... yeah" he said sweating at her reaction. Then she suddenly flew backwards and smashed into the wall outside the ring, causing the brick wall to crack.
"WOW AND HERCULE IS THE WINNER, BUT WHO WOULD BE SURPRISED HE IS AFTER ALL THE WORLD CHAMPION." said the announcer. Hercule just stood in the center of the ring sweatdropping, giving his fake smile and victory signs.
"YEAH HA HA HA HA, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I AM THE CHAMP!" he said as he retreated back into his private training room. 'Whew that was a close one.'

Gohan had seen the end of the fight as they reached the arena. 'I can't believe 18 threw the match.' He landed and set Bulma back down on the ground as Bra and Trunks landed. He walked over to the vibrant blond android. She still had the same hair and fashion sense that she had when he last saw her. She was wearing a short jean jacket over a white shirt that seemed a bit revealing, a short jean skirt, and the same boots that he last saw her in. "So why did you throw the match just now?" he questioned as she picked herself up of the ground.
She looked at the teen in front of her and smiled. "Hmph why do you think?" she said playfully.
"Money?"
"Still as sharp as ever huh? I haven't seen you since that day."
"You recognize me?"
"Kid, no one forgets their savior, besides that when you're with Krillen 'YOU' became an obsession."
"You mean..." said Gohan as he backed away a step and placed an arm in front of Bulma.
"Chill, I left him shortly after you were forced to leave your home. He's way too obsessed with trying to kill you to pay any attention to me anyway. I live in 'Satan City' now. You know I never did thank you for that day." She walked up to him and kissed him lightly on the lips. "You know you've gotten pretty handsome since we last met"
"Well uh... you're welcome, but if you don't mind I'd like to ask you for a favor." said Gohan with a small blush on his face.
"Hmm well I did make a million zeni because you didn't show up for our fight, so sure. What do you need?"
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
Gohan walked among the tons and tons of people leaving the island. He had gotten 18 to watch over Bulma, Bra, and Trunks at her house while he stayed and looked for 'S'. He was searching for Krillen, Tien, or Yamcha, because he didn't remember S's ki signature. He could sense Krillen and Tien on the far side of the island where the boats back to the main land were leaving the port. Soon Tien came into sight. He, Krillen, and the man named Shin were all speaking in hushed voices underneath a palm tree away from the crowds. Before Gohan could get any closer, the small purple skinned man named Shin vanished from sight. 'What the hell?' thought Gohan as he reached Tien and Krillen, who had obviously noticed him long before he reached them, were standing there looking at him grimly. "I assume you know what I here for."
"We would fucking kill you right here and now if it wasn't for..." began Tien
"The fact that both of you combined could never stand a chance against me?" interjected Gohan.
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" yelled Krillen. "'He' want's to be the one to deal with you." said Krillen as he pointed behind Gohan. There stood a man wearing a cloak with the hood up so that it was impossible to see his face.
"We're going to take you to someplace a little bit less inhabited." replied Tien while grabbing Gohan's shoulder and using Instant Transmission.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
"So are you sure that this is alright?" asked Bulma a bit worried about being in the same house an ex-murderer. Her, Bra, and Trunks walked into the small one story house on the edge of town.
"You don't have to sound so worried," said 18 detecting fear in the way she questioned. "I've left my past behind me I'm living a normal life now. I have enough money that I don't need a job. Besides Gohan said you were in danger, and I did promise him I would look out for you. I'm sorry to hear about Vegeta, no matter how stubborn he was, he was still an honorable fighter." 18 walked into the living room and sat down while the rest found their own seat to take.
"Yeah..." said Bulma wistfully. "I hope Gohan will be ok though."
"Don't worry mom, Gohan is the strongest person in the whole universe." said Bra.
"She's probably right you know. He will definitely not be one to lose easily," said 18 trying to bring Bulma's hopes up.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
It was getting late in the evening, and sun blazed over the horizon into Gohan's eyes. He had to squint past the light to see the form of his opponent a couple feet away. They were a few feet above the ground in the middle of a small prairie surrounded by forest on all sides. "We have tried to reason with you," said Krillen from behind him.
"If by reason you mean try to kill me then yeah that pretty much sums up the past six years. What is it you think you'll gain by killing Bra?"
"She's a threat, not only to those around her but to the entire universe," said the cloaked figure.
'That voice!' thought Gohan as he turned to face him once again.
"I had wished we could solve this without a fight, but it seems you're just as stubborn as Vegeta, not at all the Gohan I once knew." the figure continued. "You two go and find and kill her."
'No!' Gohan quickly turned around and grabbed Tien's arms before he could teleport, but Krillen had already vanished. "I see you've regenerated another arm for me to tear off" said Gohan smiling wickedly as he put both his legs in-between the two of them and kicked Tien in the chest while still holding on to his arms. The bones in his shoulder began to dislocate as Gohan continued to push off Tien's chest with his feet. Tien began screaming in pain. "I let you get away once, it won't happen again." He then pushed hard enough to rip both of Tien's arms off his body. Tien fall to the ground some feet below and continued screaming in pain as blood rushed out of both his shoulders. Gohan then fired a ki blast that took of Tien's head. Tien's headless body fell to the ground and continued to bleed.
He then turned back to the person in the cloak who seemed to be too stunned to move.
"Gohan how could you?" said the person from under the cloak. "I didn't actually believe it when Krillen told me you had become evil but I could never imagine he would be right."
"I'm not exactly sure how much you know about me or why you seem so familiar, but you could never understand the kind of shit I've put up with from him and his friends."
The person in the cloak removed the hood revealing his face. He had tall spiky black hair that stuck out in all directions, his face showed great disappointment rather than it's normal carefree smile.
# # # # # #
I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you.
I could be fake
I could be stupid
You know I could be just like you.
# # # # # #
"No, No...It can't be!" said Gohan as he back up a few more feet. He continued to remove the cloak until it was completely off and discarded to the ground leaving a man wearing an orange gi.
"They said all they were trying to do was to help you and you went and pushed them away," replied Goku.
Gohan was still too stunned at the fact that his father was standing before him, to speak.
"I know what must be going through your head right now and believe me..."
# # # # # #
You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you.
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be
Just like you.
You thought you were there to guide me

# # # # # #
"HA HA HA HA HA" Gohan began laughing hysterically before Goku could finish. "You could never understand what is running through my head. Know this, I am going to kill you, Krillen, and Yamcha. I can believe that you of all people would trust your dearest friends so then if that's what you want to believe then I guess I'm am now your enemy."
"Son please listen..."
"SON! I'M NOT YOUR SON ANYMORE. VEGETA WAS MORE OF A FATHER TO ME THAN YOU EVER WERE AND YOU KILLED HIM, THEREFORE I WILL KILL YOU FOR HIM." yelled Gohan as he got into his stance and prepared to attack. "I won't let you kill Bra. I know of her strength and you of all people should know why I'm protecting her. You were once forgiving and kind enough to help people when they needed it the most and I always wanted to do the things you did. So if you truly want to believe the garbage that your 'friends' have been feeding you then prepare to die or kill me."

I could be cold

"Does Chi-Chi know..."
"Mom is dead." Gohan growled through gritted teeth.
Goku sat in a stunned silence. "But when? How?"
"That's right you wouldn't know. You were always more interested in training than spending time with your family. I bet you didn't even know you had another son."
"I have another son? Where is he?"
"....Dead. He died just a few hours after birth. If you were here they would be too and none of this would be happening now."
# # # # # #
On my own, cause I can't take livin' with you
I'm alone, so I won't turn out like
You want me to.
# # # # # #
"....I'm not so sure about that." Goku then too got into a stance and prepared to fight. "No matter how much you'd like to think so Bra would still need to be killed."
"Well if you truly think that she's going to be a threat, then I suggest you worry about the current threat to this planet....ME!" Gohan began powering up past super Saiyan and super Saiyan 2, all the way to super Saiyan 3. "I will avenge Vegeta's death by killing you once again."
"I don't want to fight but you leave me with no choice." Goku also began powering up and he too reached all the way to level 3. "I will kill you if I have to."
"You will be the one to die." Gohan then charged and engaged in battle with Goku. He threw many punches all hitting their target. Goku had been hit multiple hits to the stomach and face. He had been trying to dodge the attacks but it seemed Gohan was faster so he switched to trying to block. Gohan saw what he was doing as he brought up his arms and legs into a more defensive position leaving his head open for an attack. 'I used to look up to you, but Vegeta was right, your nothing but a third class piece of shit.' Gohan aimed a kick at the side of Goku's head that hit its target and set Goku a few feet away.
"I thought this would be bit more interesting but I guess I was wrong. I hate wasting time so let me make this quick." Gohan cupped his hands at his side and began charging his attack. "KA.....ME....SEN...KO..." A blood red ball appeared in his hands as he got ready to launch his blast.
"Gohan, what happened? You used to be so nice and kind." Goku said more to himself as he too charged his own attack. "KA....ME....HA...ME..." A light blue ball formed in Goku's hands.

"HA" they both yelled at the same time. The red and blue energy blasts connected between the two warriors and as each continued to put more and more energy into their attack the blast in the center grew larger and larger until all the pent up energy exploded.

Bulma and 18 were sitting at the kitchen table in 18's house as Bra and Trunks sat on the couch in the living room watching TV or so it seemed. Bulma and 18 had been talking when all of a sudden Bulma got the strangest feeling it the pit of her stomach. Then Bra and Trunks came running from the living room each with a worried expression.
"MOM WE CAN'T FEEL GOHAN." they said at the same time.
'OH NO!' thought Bulma before she fainted.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #

Now please review and be kind I don't want flames just because I killed off Vegeta.
A/N: I'M BACK, and I'm a bad bad man. I removed my other story. I LIED AND I HATE IT, but I really can't remember where I was taking that story so I deleted it, sorry again to those of you who wanted it finished but I didn't have the patience for it. I will be posting a new story though, another Gohan romance/angst fic, called 'One Fate' so look for it soon. I thought I left enough clues but so far only three people have guessed who 'S' is. Congratulations to Jay (First to know), someone, and wicked angel grls, you are great detectives. It also seems that a few of you would like to see 18 thrown into my poll so I have a new poll. You, my fans, have decided that this fic will have romance, but I WILL NOT BE CHANGING THE GENRE. So who will win Gohan's heart BRA, 18, or LIME. If anyone would like to change his or her previous vote just tell me.
THE STANDINGS ARE: BRA-8, LIME-1, and #18-0

Gohan flew up into the stands, ignoring the pain in his left leg, where Bulma, Trunks, and Bra were sitting. Gohan landed on his good leg keeping the weight off the other.
"OH MY GOD GOHAN YOU NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR!" Bulma screamed at the sight of the bone sticking out through his shin area.
"Are you ok Gohan?" asked Bra worriedly.
"Don't make such a big deal out of this guys I can fix it in a second, but first we need to get to Vegeta he's in trouble. You will all come with me, I'll force one of the three to take us there." said Gohan as he stretched his leg out and forced the bone back underneath the skin.
"Look Gohan I really don't think you should be doing that." said Bulma "We should get a professional."
"We don't have the time. Grab my foot and pull it out while twisting it a little to the right." replied Gohan as he held out his foot for Bulma.
"I hope you know what you're talking about." Bulma grabbed his foot and did as he said until they heard a sickening crack and his bone was set back where it should be. "I think I'm going to be sick."
"COOL" said Trunks and Bra together.
"Ok I can heal it by myself now. Now we need to go find Yamcha, Tien, or Krillen, and get them to take us to Vegeta."
"I think they took Krillen into a room to be checked on by DOCTORS" said Bulma resentfully.
"Well it doesn't have to be Krillen I know Tien can use Instant Transmission, and I'm sure Yamcha can too. We need to stick together you could all be in danger, now let's get looking."

Vegeta's fight had been going on for some time and Vegeta was unable to compare with the speed and power of his opponent. He had sustained multiple broken bones, bruises, and cuts throughout his body.
Vegeta looked at his opponent from his position kneeling on the ground. He was unharmed and wasn't even out of breath. 'Damn him, his power is incredible. I just hope Gohan is able to take him. I'm sorry Bulma, Trunks, .....Bra, I die for you this day.' Vegeta stood back up and powered up as far as his remaining energy would allow, which was barely half of his maximum strength. Vegeta studied his opponent one last time, not only was his power different so was his attitude. He had known this man for some time and had always envied the strength he possessed but now his envy turned to pity and anger. 'He never needed you and yet he still punishes himself over your death and now you betray his trust. One day he will have his revenge and then maybe you'll see for yourself what kind of person you caused him to be. You are the reason he protects my daughter and now you are as much his enemy as his ally he will be stuck with a choice he may not be able to make.' Vegeta thought to himself. Blood flew from his mouth as he shouted and charged his opponent with everything he had. "I MAY DIE, BUT I DO SO WITH THE HONOR AND PRIDE OF BEING A PRINCE, A HUSBAND, AND A FATHER!"

Gohan had managed to corner Yamcha with the help of Trunks and Bra. "Look I'll make this real simple for you, either you take us to Vegeta or I can make you suffer until the day I decide to kill you." said Gohan angrily. Just to prove his point he grabbed Yamcha's arm before he could pull it away and bent it in the opposite direction. The bones in Yamcha's arm began to crack under the pressure threatening to break.
"OK OK Just please stop" begged the pitiful ex bandit.
"You guys grab on to me now," he said motioning for Bra, Bulma, and Trunks. They all did as they were told and placed a hand on him. "Ok now you pitiful worm take us or you'll be in even more pain." Gohan applied more pressure to Yamcha's arm while Yamcha quickly placed two fingers from his other hand on his forehead and used Instant Transmission.

It had begun to rain over the battlefield. Vegeta lay on the hard desert ground bleeding from every cut on his body. He looked at his arms they were hardly recognizable they were burned and bloody. Rain continued to fall washing away old blood and allowing fresh blood to take its place. He had lost an eye and the use of his legs. He could still sense his opponent a few feet away just looking at him. Vegeta sat up enough to look at his rival. "What's wrong I know you've killed before why are you waiting. Are you starting to pity me? WELL SAVE IT, I don't need your pity, we are warriors and I cannot win in my condition, so as a warrior you shall end your opponent's life." He continued to just look at Vegeta not making a move. "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?" Suddenly Vegeta felt five new power levels appear and S had placed two fingers to his forehead and vanished. 'DAMN HIM'
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
Gohan and the rest arrived just in time to see the figure of S vanish. Gohan could tell he wasn't wearing his cloak but he had vanished too quickly for Gohan to see who he was. Now the only thing in the surrounding area was a beaten and bloody Vegeta lying on the ground. The sky was pitch black and rain poured down, every once in a while lightening would flash across the sky.
"NOOO" Bulma screamed and ran off to Vegeta with Bra and Trunks on her heel. Gohan let go of Yamcha's arm, but the second he did Yamcha used Instant Transmission again.
Gohan walked over to the group. "Vegeta why didn't you tell me?" said Gohan slightly angry at the prince's arrogance.
"You know very well why, but it doesn't matter now. I thought I might be able to end this stupid fight alone, and I was wrong."
"Dad please you can't die" cried Bra kneeling down to place her head on his scarred chest.
"Vegeta why?" Bulma was also crying and kneeling next to her love while holding his bloody hand, rain mixing in with the tears streaming down her face.
Trunks was still standing but tears still fell from his face while he stared down at the ground.
"I did this for you my family. I wanted to stop them from hurting you all. Gohan do not blame yourself for them attacking us, we chose to help you. Bulma please look out for him and our children and know that I will always love you." Bulma gave a big smile at him for actually using her name. "Trunks I'm proud of you, you will grow up to be a great fighter and I'm sorry for my roughness, but one day you'll understand why I did what I did."
Trunks continued to cry "No dad, no you're not going to die."
"Do not worry you still have your mother, you will be fine. Bra I'm very proud of you as well," Bra looked up her face was streaked with tears and rainwater, her hair was sticking to some places on her face. Vegeta lifted his free hand and moved a hair away from her face. "You too will become a great fighter, Gohan has taught you well. I will always be proud of the both of you. Maybe one day I will come back, know that I would do anything to always be there for you, my family. Gohan, thank you for honoring your word and also for giving me the chance to speak with my family before I go," said Vegeta who was actually smiling at the demi-saiyan.
Gohan stared back in disbelief at the smile, but slowly smiled back. "Of course, I would do anything for my Prin... no King." Vegeta just smiled even more.
"Ahh I see that I may die but the Saiyan spirit will live on in you. I'm am honored to have had you as an ally. You will now take the legacy of the Saiyan race you are the heir to the throne now. I never told you this but since that day after your mother died I always thought of you as a son and was proud of how you acted more and more Saiyan over time."
Gohan stood there stunned. "I...I ...Thank you." he said while bowing his head.
"No I thank you, you trained my daughter and protected my family when I could not, I would be proud to call you my own. I pray that one day our race will flourish again and as long as you three remain there is still hope for my dream." Vegeta could feel his mind becoming more and more fuzzy as his time neared its end. "Bulma,... Bra,... Trunks,...Gohan.........Good...bye" his final breath left his mouth, his eye closed, and his body went limp.
"VEGETA!" Bulma cried. Bulma, Bra, and Trunks continued to cry over the deceased warrior's body while Gohan stood and watched with an old familiar pain lingering in his heart. He had no more tears to shed, even for the Saiyan Prince, but he still felt the pain of loss.
'I will kill him. Whoever did this to you will pay, I swear I will take revenge for you.' Gohan bent down and picked up the fallen Prince's body. "Come on we should bury him. Trunks you can carry your mom." Gohan took off into the sky while Bra and Trunks followed.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
Gohan soon spotted the all too familiar grove that he visited annually. He descended with Trunks, Bulma, and Bra right behind him. Gohan landed a few feet from the four mounds lined up in the center of the grove.
"Gohan what is this place?" questioned Bulma upon being let down by her son.
"I think you know. If it's alright with you I would like to bury Vegeta here."
"Yes of course." said Bulma as she, Bra, and Trunks walked closer to the four mounds, each marked with a withered flower.
"Who were they?" question Trunks as Gohan placed Vegeta on the ground while he began to use small ki blasts to clear a hole in the ground.
"My mentor, Piccolo," said Gohan pointing to the one on the far left "my friend, Dende." pointing to the next on over as he went on "my mother, Chi- Chi, and my brother, Goten." Gohan turned back to Vegeta and lifted him back up then placed him in the hole next to his brother's grave.
"You had a brother?" asked Bra as Gohan finished covering Vegeta's grave.
Gohan smiled sadly while nodding his head. "He would have been close to your age if he were still here." The rain had finally stopped and a lone ray of light shone through the clouds right into the grove.
"Gohan what about the tournament?" questioned Bulma.
"It doesn't matter now it's probably over anyway, but I still have to go back there and find the others and finish this. I will take revenge for Vegeta."
"NOOO! Gohan." yelled Bulma tears falling from her face once again. "Please don't do it, I know you're angry for what they did, but don't...don't...I couldn't stand it if you died too." she fell to the ground and cried into her hands while Gohan stood shocked at her actions towards him. "Please...please don't." she begged with her hands still covering her face.
Gohan looked down at the ground. "Bulma...I...I...I'm sorry..." Bulma looked up in surprise. "You must understand that they have caused you to suffer just as much as me, and I won't stand for it." Bulma just nodded weakly before standing once again and pulling Gohan into a hug.
"Just...don't die, I don't want you to die too." Bra and Trunks soon followed suit and began hugging Gohan.
"I don't want you to go either." cried Bra as she looked up at Gohan.
Gohan smiled down at the younger Saiyan. "I promise that I won't die." 'I've come too far to die now, I will have my revenge and avenge Vegeta's death.' "They will be looking for you and I can't be fighting and trying to protect you as well, but I can't think of anyplace that would be safe." 'They could hide in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, but if they find out where they are they could destroy the door and then they'd be stuck in there, that's why I haven't used it myself.'
"Take us with you." said Bulma. Gohan looked at her in surprise. "Bra, Trunks, and I can stay a distance away while you fight."
"No it's way too risky, there are four of them and I alone...wait I got it!" '18 she was at the tournament and she was able to beat Yamcha but that's not saying much. Maybe she'll help us out.' "We need to get back to the tournament quick." Gohan picked up Bulma. "Hurry follow me you two." He then blasted off into the sky followed by Trunks and Bra.

"AND THE WINNER OF THE 24th TENKAICHI BUDOKAI BY DEFAULT IS 18" said the announcer. They had waited for Gohan to enter the ring for half an hour at the request of 18 but the judges wouldn't allow for any more time. "NOW IT'S TIME FOR HER TO FACE THE WORLD'S SAVIOR HERRRRCUUULE!" Hercule came out of his private training room and into the arena giving his victory sign.
"I Hercule the world champ, have come to grace you with my presence and give you the honor of facing me in a one on one match." he said to 18 as he entered the ring.
'What a fool' "I hope you're ready to fight because I hate people who talk too much." replied 18 as she began cracking her knuckles. "I think I've had enough of everyone thinking you were the one to save the Earth from Cell, and please that so called 'real' video footage of the Cell games was sooo fake. I mean you could tell they were actors wearing masks, how pathetic are you." she said for only Hercule to hear, as she prepared for her attack.
"I...UH...I did defeat Cell." said Hercule in fake confidence.
"HA don't make me laugh, I was there, I know you stole the credit from someone who really deserves it."
Hercule began sweating "That's not possible ma'am, if you were there you would know that I was the one who beat Cell."
"Your lies are really starting to annoy me, so how about I prove to the world how much of a fake you really are."
"IT SEEMS THE CHAMP IS STARING DOWN HIS OPPONENT AND DECIDING WHICH OF HIS AWESOME ATTACKS TO USE." said the announcer from the sideline.
"OH man.....Uh ok I'll do anything, just please, I have a reputation to keep up." he whispered over to her as she sweatdropped.
"1,000,000 zeni, and I'll throw the fight, but if you decide afterward that you want to go back on your end of the deal I'll make sure you never fight again."
Hercule's eyes bugged out of his head "1,000,000 zeni? but...but..." 18 just gave him a death glare. "ok, ok, oh man what I do to be famous."
"Ok then let's get this fight started." she charged at him relatively slow for her, but still too fast for Hercule's eyes to follow. She appeared directly in front of him and threw a punch that went right by his head. "Ok make your move now." she whispered.
"Uh..Right" he pretended to dodge her already missed punch and then back flipped a distance away. "OK TIME TO END THIS. DYNOMITE PUNCH." He began charging at her as fast as he could and threw a punch directly at her forehead. The punch connected but 18 just stood there.
"Is that the best you can do?" she whispered.
"Uhh... yeah" he said sweating at her reaction. Then she suddenly flew backwards and smashed into the wall outside the ring, causing the brick wall to crack.
"WOW AND HERCULE IS THE WINNER, BUT WHO WOULD BE SURPRISED HE IS AFTER ALL THE WORLD CHAMPION." said the announcer. Hercule just stood in the center of the ring sweatdropping, giving his fake smile and victory signs.
"YEAH HA HA HA HA, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I AM THE CHAMP!" he said as he retreated back into his private training room. 'Whew that was a close one.'

Gohan had seen the end of the fight as they reached the arena. 'I can't believe 18 threw the match.' He landed and set Bulma back down on the ground as Bra and Trunks landed. He walked over to the vibrant blond android. She still had the same hair and fashion sense that she had when he last saw her. She was wearing a short jean jacket over a white shirt that seemed a bit revealing, a short jean skirt, and the same boots that he last saw her in. "So why did you throw the match just now?" he questioned as she picked herself up of the ground.
She looked at the teen in front of her and smiled. "Hmph why do you think?" she said playfully.
"Money?"
"Still as sharp as ever huh? I haven't seen you since that day."
"You recognize me?"
"Kid, no one forgets their savior, besides that when you're with Krillen 'YOU' became an obsession."
"You mean..." said Gohan as he backed away a step and placed an arm in front of Bulma.
"Chill, I left him shortly after you were forced to leave your home. He's way too obsessed with trying to kill you to pay any attention to me anyway. I live in 'Satan City' now. You know I never did thank you for that day." She walked up to him and kissed him lightly on the lips. "You know you've gotten pretty handsome since we last met"
"Well uh... you're welcome, but if you don't mind I'd like to ask you for a favor." said Gohan with a small blush on his face.
"Hmm well I did make a million zeni because you didn't show up for our fight, so sure. What do you need?"
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
Gohan walked among the tons and tons of people leaving the island. He had gotten 18 to watch over Bulma, Bra, and Trunks at her house while he stayed and looked for 'S'. He was searching for Krillen, Tien, or Yamcha, because he didn't remember S's ki signature. He could sense Krillen and Tien on the far side of the island where the boats back to the main land were leaving the port. Soon Tien came into sight. He, Krillen, and the man named Shin were all speaking in hushed voices underneath a palm tree away from the crowds. Before Gohan could get any closer, the small purple skinned man named Shin vanished from sight. 'What the hell?' thought Gohan as he reached Tien and Krillen, who had obviously noticed him long before he reached them, were standing there looking at him grimly. "I assume you know what I here for."
"We would fucking kill you right here and now if it wasn't for..." began Tien
"The fact that both of you combined could never stand a chance against me?" interjected Gohan.
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" yelled Krillen. "'He' want's to be the one to deal with you." said Krillen as he pointed behind Gohan. There stood a man wearing a cloak with the hood up so that it was impossible to see his face.
"We're going to take you to someplace a little bit less inhabited." replied Tien while grabbing Gohan's shoulder and using Instant Transmission.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
"So are you sure that this is alright?" asked Bulma a bit worried about being in the same house an ex-murderer. Her, Bra, and Trunks walked into the small one story house on the edge of town.
"You don't have to sound so worried," said 18 detecting fear in the way she questioned. "I've left my past behind me I'm living a normal life now. I have enough money that I don't need a job. Besides Gohan said you were in danger, and I did promise him I would look out for you. I'm sorry to hear about Vegeta, no matter how stubborn he was, he was still an honorable fighter." 18 walked into the living room and sat down while the rest found their own seat to take.
"Yeah..." said Bulma wistfully. "I hope Gohan will be ok though."
"Don't worry mom, Gohan is the strongest person in the whole universe." said Bra.
"She's probably right you know. He will definitely not be one to lose easily," said 18 trying to bring Bulma's hopes up.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
It was getting late in the evening, and sun blazed over the horizon into Gohan's eyes. He had to squint past the light to see the form of his opponent a couple feet away. They were a few feet above the ground in the middle of a small prairie surrounded by forest on all sides. "We have tried to reason with you," said Krillen from behind him.
"If by reason you mean try to kill me then yeah that pretty much sums up the past six years. What is it you think you'll gain by killing Bra?"
"She's a threat, not only to those around her but to the entire universe," said the cloaked figure.
'That voice!' thought Gohan as he turned to face him once again.
"I had wished we could solve this without a fight, but it seems you're just as stubborn as Vegeta, not at all the Gohan I once knew." the figure continued. "You two go and find and kill her."
'No!' Gohan quickly turned around and grabbed Tien's arms before he could teleport, but Krillen had already vanished. "I see you've regenerated another arm for me to tear off" said Gohan smiling wickedly as he put both his legs in-between the two of them and kicked Tien in the chest while still holding on to his arms. The bones in his shoulder began to dislocate as Gohan continued to push off Tien's chest with his feet. Tien began screaming in pain. "I let you get away once, it won't happen again." He then pushed hard enough to rip both of Tien's arms off his body. Tien fall to the ground some feet below and continued screaming in pain as blood rushed out of both his shoulders. Gohan then fired a ki blast that took of Tien's head. Tien's headless body fell to the ground and continued to bleed.
He then turned back to the person in the cloak who seemed to be too stunned to move.
"Gohan how could you?" said the person from under the cloak. "I didn't actually believe it when Krillen told me you had become evil but I could never imagine he would be right."
"I'm not exactly sure how much you know about me or why you seem so familiar, but you could never understand the kind of shit I've put up with from him and his friends."
The person in the cloak removed the hood revealing his face. He had tall spiky black hair that stuck out in all directions, his face showed great disappointment rather than it's normal carefree smile.
# # # # # #
I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you.
I could be fake
I could be stupid
You know I could be just like you.
# # # # # #
"No, No...It can't be!" said Gohan as he back up a few more feet. He continued to remove the cloak until it was completely off and discarded to the ground leaving a man wearing an orange gi.
"They said all they were trying to do was to help you and you went and pushed them away," replied Goku.
Gohan was still too stunned at the fact that his father was standing before him, to speak.
"I know what must be going through your head right now and believe me..."
# # # # # #
You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you.
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be
Just like you.
You thought you were there to guide me

# # # # # #
"HA HA HA HA HA" Gohan began laughing hysterically before Goku could finish. "You could never understand what is running through my head. Know this, I am going to kill you, Krillen, and Yamcha. I can believe that you of all people would trust your dearest friends so then if that's what you want to believe then I guess I'm am now your enemy."
"Son please listen..."
"SON! I'M NOT YOUR SON ANYMORE. VEGETA WAS MORE OF A FATHER TO ME THAN YOU EVER WERE AND YOU KILLED HIM, THEREFORE I WILL KILL YOU FOR HIM." yelled Gohan as he got into his stance and prepared to attack. "I won't let you kill Bra. I know of her strength and you of all people should know why I'm protecting her. You were once forgiving and kind enough to help people when they needed it the most and I always wanted to do the things you did. So if you truly want to believe the garbage that your 'friends' have been feeding you then prepare to die or kill me."

I could be cold
I could be ruthless

"Does Chi-Chi know..."
"Mom is dead." Gohan growled through gritted teeth.
Goku sat in a stunned silence. "But when? How?"
"That's right you wouldn't know. You were always more interested in training than spending time with your family. I bet you didn't even know you had another son."
"I have another son? Where is he?"
"....Dead. He died just a few hours after birth. If you were here they would be too and none of this would be happening now."
# # # # # #
On my own, cause I can't take livin' with you
I'm alone, so I won't turn out like
You want me to.
# # # # # #
"....I'm not so sure about that." Goku then too got into a stance and prepared to fight. "No matter how much you'd like to think so Bra would still need to be killed."
"Well if you truly think that she's going to be a threat, then I suggest you worry about the current threat to this planet....ME!" Gohan began powering up past super Saiyan and super Saiyan 2, all the way to super Saiyan 3. "I will avenge Vegeta's death by killing you once again."
"I don't want to fight but you leave me with no choice." Goku also began powering up and he too reached all the way to level 3. "I will kill you if I have to."
"You will be the one to die." Gohan then charged and engaged in battle with Goku. He threw many punches all hitting their target. Goku had been hit multiple hits to the stomach and face. He had been trying to dodge the attacks but it seemed Gohan was faster so he switched to trying to block. Gohan saw what he was doing as he brought up his arms and legs into a more defensive position leaving his head open for an attack. 'I used to look up to you, but Vegeta was right, your nothing but a third class piece of shit.' Gohan aimed a kick at the side of Goku's head that hit its target and set Goku a few feet away.
"I thought this would be bit more interesting but I guess I was wrong. I hate wasting time so let me make this quick." Gohan cupped his hands at his side and began charging his attack. "KA.....ME....SEN...KO..." A blood red ball appeared in his hands as he got ready to launch his blast.
"Gohan, what happened? You used to be so nice and kind." Goku said more to himself as he too charged his own attack. "KA....ME....HA...ME..." A light blue ball formed in Goku's hands.

"HA" they both yelled at the same time. The red and blue energy blasts connected between the two warriors and as each continued to put more and more energy into their attack the blast in the center grew larger and larger until all the pent up energy exploded.

Bulma and 18 were sitting at the kitchen table in 18's house as Bra and Trunks sat on the couch in the living room watching TV or so it seemed. Bulma and 18 had been talking when all of a sudden Bulma got the strangest feeling it the pit of her stomach. Then Bra and Trunks came running from the living room each with a worried expression.
"MOM WE CAN'T FEEL GOHAN." they said at the same time.
'OH NO!' thought Bulma before she fainted.

HA HA HA HA HA CLIFFY! I'm evil. So what happened to Gohan? You'll find out next time. OK remember I have a new poll for the romance BRA vs. LIME vs. 18. Vote now and if you want to change your previous vote just let me know.
