Plus I'd like to thank SSJChibiGoten for proofreading my last chapter and this one as well.

Response to Limar's review:
I'm not sure if Goku did use super kaio-ken while in a super saiyan state but I'll probably find out soon as I am downloading the last like 15 episodes of DBZ as I write this. Anyways if Goku did use the kaio-ken while in super saiyan form... I'll just disregard it as it'll contradict what's in my story already. I'll just pin it all on this story being an AU. Or I'll find some way of fitting it in, who knows.

Response to several reviews about Karreth:
Alright, everyone wants Karreth and Gohan to be together right? Well all I'll say is that I've already picked out who he'll be with and you'll just have to wait and see! There's going to be 4 females in total that he'll meet (4 main ones I mean), all 4 of them will want him in the beginning, and he'll want them, to some degree or another, until near the end. Each girl will get someone, but who that someone is... well you'll have to wait... Oh man... just writing that SO many new ideas popped up! WOOHOO!!! HAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Chapter 7: Tying up Loose Ends

-

Gohan was standing outside the rejuvenation chambers where Karreth, and other high female officials that had been hurt during the collapse of part of the palace, were located. He, being male, wasn't allowed in there as one was put into the chambers completely naked, not that he would have wanted to go in regardless. Having a bunch of females wanting to skin him alive and use his hide as a rug was not something he wished to endure. The only thing he was thankful of was that none of them knew of the ultimate saiyan killer, the frying pan. There was also the etiquette and manners his mother had literally beaten into him and his little brother.

Gohan sighed as he thought of his little brother, the one person he missed more then anyone else with perhaps the exception of Videl, and now he'd never get a chance to meet him. He was born because of a mistake, much like himself; only unlike him Goten wasn't allowed to exist after the universe sorted itself out.

Gohan let his head fall forward a little as he thought of the aftermath of the battle. He had initially thought he had destroyed the entire palace but luckily for him it was built to withstand that kind of impact. At first Gohan had thought the odd flow of the hallways was born from some twisted architects mind but he knew better now. The odd design to the palace helped reinforce the structure making it virtually impossible for more then one or two floors to be crushed unless there was some sort of titanic pressure or weight pressed upon it. The only way to completely destroy the palace was to let off a massive explosion in the bottommost levels or to drop a moon on it. Anything short of that wouldn't do any major damage to it. The twisted passages of each floor was created in such a way that they each supported one another and made it possible for each floor alone to support the entire dead weight of two or three others.

Then there was the city. Cold had destroyed a fair section of the city, killing everyone there as he literally vaporized everything within a two hundred meter radius of him. It was going to take a while to repair it but already there were many people putting in bids for portions of the destroyed section and drawing up design plans for the buildings that would be put there. Gohan shook his head in amusement, amusement that was laced with sadness. It almost appeared as if these saiyans were incapable of feeling sorrow when one of their own was killed, at least as long as they were not related to that person in any way. Then as he thought more about it he realized the humans he had spent the greater portion of his life with were the same, if not worse. They would seem indifferent as to whether one person was killed or not, as long as they were not related or that person didn't owe them something. As Gohan thought on it more, he began to realize that the more technological a race became the more uncaring it also became. The only people he knew that were kind to their own were those that lacked any major technological capabilities.

And finally Karreth, on his way to find her Bardock had intercepted him and revealed that she had already been rescued and taken to the palace to heal in the rejuvenation chambers. This alleviated his worry that she had died. Despite everything he really didn't want to see her dead, he needed to use her, as much as he despised using people. Sometimes one must do what they hate in order to accomplish what they must. And thus that is how he found himself waiting outside her rejuvenation chamber. When he had knocked on the door a female medical officer had told him that she would be healed within an hour's time. Her injuries weren't serious, but would have been if she hadn't been brought in as quickly as she had.

He looked up as he sensed a very familiar presence approach him from around the twisted corridor. Bardock, who was standing across the hall from him, noticed the movement and followed his gaze. A few moments later a familiar sight came into Gohan's view. The highly accented widow's peak with almost vertical spiky black hair announced to everyone who the person was more than anything else. It was none other then the child version of the Vegeta Gohan knew from the future with of course another familiar person towering over him. Gohan could never forget Nappa, the first person he had ever truly fought against, the first of many to beat him into the ground before his father saved his ass. Nappa was wearing the usual saiyan elite battle armor with his family insignia engraved over the left chest plate. One startling difference about him was that he actually had a set of hair on his head. He apparently hadn't gone completely bald just yet. Vegeta on the other hand wore the royal battle armor with the flowing red cape and royal insignia engraved upon both the cloak and the armor. There weren't many differences between this one and the elder Vegeta, aside from the hair being slightly spikier and the body more bulky in the older version.

Vegeta glanced at the two of them before passing them off as nothing as he strolled calmly to the door Gohan was standing beside. Just as Vegeta was about to open it Gohan reached out and caught his arm, his face set into a frown and his eyes steady on Vegeta's. Vegeta turned his head around to regard Gohan fully for the first time.

"Let go of the prince!" Nappa yelled as he lashed out at Gohan.

There was a loud crack as the fist hit. Unfortunately for Nappa it wasn't Gohan's head that cracked, it was his own fist. Nappa stumbled back holding his now broken and bleeding hand as he stared at Gohan in surprise. Gohan hadn't even flinched, in fact he hadn't even registered the fact that he had just been punched, and this immediately drew Vegeta's full attention.

"What is the meaning of this?" Vegeta asked in a quiet, yet commanding tone. He was not used to people restricting him access anywhere. The only person that had done it before was Frieza, and if the result of Nappa's attack was anything to go from Gohan was at the very least on the same level and this fact alone made him tone down his response. "You are a saiyan like me, and that makes me your prince, and therefore you are mine to command. I demand you let go of me."

Gohan smirked, "Oh yes, I agree, you are the prince of saiyans, but you do not command me. No one commands me. Besides, you could be a little more courteous to someone who just toppled the Cold Empire." Gohan replied, the smirk still on his face.

Nappa's jaw dropped to the ground as his eyes bugged out in surprise. "B-But... that's not possible! You'd have to kill both Frieza and his father to do that! You'd have to be a super saiyan to even think of challenging them!" Nappa yelled out in disbelief. There was no way this saiyan could have taken out both Frieza and his father.

"Nappa, be quiet!" Vegeta snapped out, silencing any further comment Nappa may have had. "We came back from our assignment early because we were unable to report to Frieza. That is when we learned that he was dead. Someone killed him, and that someone is right here in front of us. When we arrived we heard that another battle had just taken place, and that Frieza's father was dead as well." Vegeta looked over Gohan once more, taking in everything, from the highly defined muscles to the way he held himself, from his look of complete confidence and the aura that Vegeta could almost feel. Gohan had to admit that Vegeta was far more wise and intelligent then his age would otherwise suggest. "No, this is the one that killed both Frieza and his father. The Cold Empire is destroyed and this saiyan is the reason for it, although I have no idea how he attained such power." Vegeta yanked his arm from Gohan's grasp, or rather Gohan let him sensing that Vegeta had become more interested in him then whoever he had come to see in that room.

"Just trying to protect you Vegeta." Gohan said, intentionally leaving off the prefix. "That is the woman's rejuvenation chambers. You wouldn't want a dozen screaming, angry women after you do you?"

"Hmph." Vegeta backed away from the door. "I also heard a rumor that I had a sister, a sister I didn't know even existed. I came to see her."

Gohan rolled his eyes, "Then sit down and wait. The medical doctor said she'd be out in an hour, and that was almost an hour ago, or is the prince of saiyans so childish that he must have everything how he wants, when he wants it?" Gohan asked in amusement.

"I am no child!" Vegeta growled as he stomped childishly across the hallway to wait for his sister to come out. Nappa settled beside him, trying to nurse his broken hand while at the same time trying to make it look as if it didn't hurt.

Bardock left his position, not thinking it wise to remain standing beside an irritated prince, to settle beside his grandson. He was there because his grandson had asked him to come along. He had no idea as to why, but he knew the reason was important. He had sent a messenger off to tell them to wait for them outside the palace, or until another messenger came to bring them inside.

Gohan moved to settle back in his original position, the one he had been in before he had sensed Vegeta arriving, but he had no more settled down when the door opened to reveal Karreth, the saiyan princess in all her glory. Gohan smirked at this, he knew she had been up and moving, she had started stirring at about the time Vegeta had arrived. Their little confrontation had alerted Karreth that her baby brother had returned, one of the reasons why Gohan had prevented Vegeta from entering the room, although it didn't really make the previous any less valid.

Karreth had apparently wanted to make a good first impression on her little brother. She walked out of the throne room wearing the royal saiyan battle armor and the cape, much like Vegeta's but it had been modified to account for her additions jutting from her chest. She was wearing the royal tiara, something he had never seen her in. The thing may look silly, but she had found a way to make it look just as regal as any crown, although Gohan figured that if it was anyone else but her it wouldn't have been possible. Her face had taken on a slightly haughty, yet regal expression. Her eyes were bright, shining like diamonds, and yet at the same time looking as dark and hard as onyx. All in all in created a commanding presence that dwarfed even Vegeta's own, and he noticed.

"Hello brother." Karreth said in a neutral voice, not sure how to begin, not knowing anything about Vegeta, aside from him being enslaved by Frieza.

Vegeta responded with a slight bow of his head, "Hello to you as well, sister." Vegeta said his voice just as neutral as Karreth's. He had grown up thinking that he would rule the Saiyan Empire one day, yet in the course of a week his father was killed, the killer killed, and his right to the thrown challenged by a sister he never knew he had. Yet he could not deny that she was indeed his sister, an older, more powerful one if rumors were to be believed, and with an aura of command that far exceeded his own.

"Welcome home, I take it the mission Frieza sent you on didn't give you to much trouble?" She asked, arching an eyebrow as she did. The veiled insult didn't go missed.

"No, it was easy, like all missions that lizard has given me." Vegeta said in a clipped tone. He nodded in Gohan's direction, "He was the one that killed Frieza and Cold." It was more a statement then a question.

Karreth looked over at Gohan and smiled; it was a smile that Vegeta did not like at all. Vegeta knew, through that smile alone, that Karreth wanted Gohan as her mate, and if she took him there would be very little he could do, if anything, to win the thrown. "Yes, he was, he's the most powerful saiyan in existence, a direct descendent of a super saiyan." She said with pride obvious in her voice.

Vegeta snorted, "Highly unlikely. Only those with royal blood are descendants of the legendary super saiyan."

A cough caught their attention, diverting their gaze to Bardock. "Hrm, he is a direct descendent, as am I. My father was your grandfather. He had an affair with my mother and, well I was produced. She had tried to have children three times previously, all with different lovers, but none survived. They were all born dead so the king at the time, well I suppose he was a prince, not a King yet, thought there would be no problem, as no child would be born of the one night stand but... His genes and my mother's created a child strong enough to survive the birthing ordeal."

Vegeta's eyebrow started twitching violently at this, "I hope you realize what you have just implied Bardock." Vegeta said, even he had heard of Bardock and his crew, a bunch of third class saiyans with the power to match the elites.

Bardock shrugged, "I'm just saying what my mother told me while on her death bed."

Vegeta's eyebrow was still twitching as he turned his attention back to his sister. "I won't give up my claim to the thrown..."

"...Karreth." She supplied for him, "And I don't expect you to give it up, I intend to take it from you. I am of royal blood, which can, and has, been confirmed through medical procedures. That means all I need to do is defeat you in single combat, which can easily be done as I am easily twice your strength. You don't really wish to face me right now do you?" Karreth asked in an arched voice. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched even more before he calmed it. There was no way he could defeat his sister when he was at this level. She had many more years of experience and life behind her then he did. "And as long as I can give birth to a suitable heir before you, my line will continue to hold the throne while your line is reduced to being a simple branch family." She said in a smug tone.

Vegeta scowled at her, "I'll make sure that doesn't happen!" He retorted.

"We'll see, was there anything else you wished to talk about Vegeta?" Karreth asked, "Or was the claim on the throne the only topic?"

"It was the only thing I wanted to speak with you about." He snapped rudely, making it sound as if she wasn't worth more then one question. He was not at all pleased with the way the conversation had seemed to end. Karreth had taken control from the very beginning and didn't let go until the very end Vegeta began to doubt his place in the future, but at that moment he vowed that should he fall, he would fall fighting.

Nappa, throughout all this, hadn't a clue what to do. He had been ordered by the late king to protect the heir to the throne, yet up until that point it was Vegeta, yet now it suddenly appeared as if Karreth was the heir to the throne. His slow, dull mind was currently overloading with information overload and indecision. Should he stay with who he had always been with, with the prince who may, or may not, become the heir, or guard the princess? Bardock however was laughing inside, much like Gohan. Both were amused by the exchange between the two. There had been no doubt in their minds as to who would dominate the other, yet it was still humorous to see.

Vegeta looked back at Gohan once more, "You, saiyan, what is your name?" Vegeta demanded.

Gohan arched an eyebrow at him, "I suppose you'll always be you, no matter the age." He said. Vegeta frowned, wanting him to explain but he was already waiting for an answer to something else. "But I suppose it's only fair that you know my name, as I already know yours. The name is Gohan."

Vegeta frowned, "That's no saiyan name!" He declared, Gohan simply shrugged in reply. Suddenly something amiss stood out and he glared at Bardock, "How does you being a descendent of royalty make him a descendent of a super saiyan?" He said as he pointed at Gohan.

Bardock smirked, "Because he is the son of my son, and his father was a super saiyan, that's how."

Vegeta did a few quick calculations in his head before glaring at Bardock, "That's impossible, he shouldn't even be born if he was your grandson!"

Gohan walked forward and patted Vegeta on the head causing Karreth and Bardock to laugh as Vegeta gave him a very angry glare. "Don't worry 'prince'." He said in a mocking tone, "I'll explain it to you in a few years when you have the mental capacity to understand."

"Gohan, don't tease my little brother like that." She said with a warm laugh, her regal posture gone as she lapsed back into the person she was more comfortable with. The sudden change more then confused Vegeta a little; or rather it would have if he wasn't being patted like a dog.

Vegeta grounded his teeth and glared at Gohan. He wanted nothing more then to rip out Gohan's throat and shove it up his ass but he couldn't do anything, not when he was this weak. "But don't worry Vegeta, I know what you wanted to ask, and I'm going to help you, along with others." He replied, "You want to know how strong I became, and don't worry, I'll help you. I doubt you'll ever reach my strength as I'll just keep getting stronger but I'll put you at a level above almost everyone else."

Vegeta's mouth dropped, "H-How did you know..."

"What you wanted to say?" Gohan finished with an eyebrow arched up. "I really don't know how I knew, I just did." He said, a pensive frown suddenly creasing his face. After a moment he shook himself out of his thoughts, "Anyways that brings me to the reason I am here." He said as he turned to face Karreth. "I don't suppose I could have access to your science facilities, and unlimited access to cash and building materials." He asked, his face suddenly changing as an innocent smile creased his face as he brought his hand behind his head and scratched it sheepishly.

Karreth's eyes rose at this, "As much as I like you Gohan, I'm going to need a valid excuse to give you that access." She said.

Gohan nodded, "Of course, wasn't going to take the access and leave you out of whatever it was I wanted to do. I wish to create some gravity chambers. It is a special chamber that allows you to increase or decrease the gravity inside the room." Four sets of eyebrows rose to their respective hairlines at this. They had never thought about training in artificial gravity chambers, and now that the possibility had been brought to their attention it had started turning the gears in their heads rather rapidly. None of them were stupid, well except Nappa, but even he grasped the significance of such a chamber. Just walking around in a chamber with increase gravity would induce far more effective training than an equal amount of time sparring or weight lifting.

Gohan sighed dramatically, "But if you don't want to, it's fine. I helped construct a gravity chamber when I was younger so I know how they work. Just thought I might suggest it, you know. But if you don't want to..."

"... Nononono." Karreth said hurriedly, "Gravity chambers...the thought never occurred to me... What a wonderful idea Gohan! A true genius! I'll grant you full access right away." She said breathlessly. Vegeta would have berated Karreth at granting someone such access, but he had to admit that the potential power increase from such training far outweighed the risks of development.

Gohan smiled happily, he had originally felt bad for using her but not anymore, she wanted this more then he did, he could hardly call that using someone. "Alright, I'll start today, if that's alright. I've decided to also personally train several individuals. With my training you'll become not only stronger, faster, but you'll learn techniques you would not have been able to learn otherwise." He said.

"And who are these people?" Vegeta demanded. As much as he hated Gohan, he was willing to put up with being petted it drastically increased his power.

"You for one." Gohan said, "I know you can go super saiyan so I don't intend to stop until you are. The same goes for Karreth and Bardock. Both also have the potential, and I won't stop until you both have ascended." He said, now looking at Karreth and Bardock. "I also wish to train your team Bardock. hey may be a bunch of third class warriors, but I don't care about class, I care about potential, and they hold far more then most saiyans on this planet, more then even some of the super elites." Gohan said, revealing why he had wanted Bardock to gather his crew. "I think the tests done on the children aren't reliable. They only test their current power level, not the potential they'd be able to reach. I'd say a baby with a power level of 5 and a potential of 1,000,000 is far more valuable then a baby with a power level of 100 and a potential of 10,000." Gohan said. "The only exception is Brolly... I need to find him before its too late." He didn't realize he said that last part aloud until he heard a laugh behind him.

"Brolly? He's dead! My father had him killed along with his father." Vegeta said.

Gohan shook his head, "You're wrong. You think simply stabbing a child with a power level of 10,000 is going to kill it? No, both he and his father are both still alive and well. The child took them both off world to some place in the southern quadrant. I need to find him before he goes insane from his power. He has access to a slightly different version of super saiyan than we do, one that pumps out far more power, but at the cost of ones sanity." Gohan held up at hand to stall any protests, "What do you want more, answers, or that chamber?" He asked, silencing everyone. He knew how to manipulate saiyans. He looked over at Karreth and smiled, "Mind showing me where the labs are so I can get started? The first step is developing the technology, and then we can start building."

Karreth smiled and nodded, "This way Gohan." She said as she turned down one of the hallways. Gohan followed close behind. He had more then one reason for wanting to build the gravity chambers. He may not be a god, but that doesn't mean he couldn't try. The gods and guardians used magic to create those rooms, and he was going to see if technology could duplicate it.

Bardock straightened and with a salute to Vegeta he turned and headed out of the palace. He had to tell his crew the news. He wanted to tell them the good news. He knew they would be just as excited as he was at the prospect of even attaining a fraction of the strength his grandson apparently possessed. One thing scared him more then anything else though, just how strong was his grandson? He had witness him destroy Frieza first, an act that seemed almost impossible at the time. Then not more then four days later Cold, Frieza's father, fell to his feet. A tyrant that was far, far stronger then his son and Gohan had done no training in between the two fights; in fact all he did was sleep. That should not have had any effect on his power. So it was an excited, yet also very worried, Bardock that left the palace to greet his crew and tell them about the news.

Vegeta however was none too impressed at the moment. He would have thrown a fit and gone on a killing spree if Gohan hadn't dangled the temptation to help him attain the legendary level of the saiyan race in front of his face. He had dreamed of becoming a super saiyan, ever since his father had told him about the legend. Vegeta would have accepted a life time of servitude to Frieza if it had helped him attain that legendary level, yet it appeared as if this Gohan would help him, no strings attached. Vegeta frowned at this, now he was suspicious. No one offered such help without wanting something in return. He promised himself to keep an eye on this Gohan as he knew Karreth would not. Not when he had her in the palm of his hand.

The days slid by as Gohan worked constantly on the gravity chambers. There were many times he wished he had access to Doctor Brief's and Bulma's knowledge but he knew he had to make do with just himself. Luckily for him the saiyans possessed far superior technological capabilities then the humans. Another blessing was that, despite having no prior knowledge on how to create a gravity chamber, the scientists he worked with were very intelligent and were able to grasp the concepts he put forth relatively easily.

The labs were extremely well stocked and Karreth directed several of the brightest scientists to help him construct the chambers. At first the scientists were leery of working with Gohan, thinking him merely an unthinking brute with unimaginable power but when he showed intelligence that rivaled their own their distrust quickly evaporated. It was also very rare for scientists in a warlike race to have much funding in any of their endeavors and the chance to have unlimited access was something they did not want to give up. With access to unlimited funds and building materials proved to be extremely helpful. Doctor Briefs, although very wealthy, didn't have access to unlimited wealth, and was limited to materials located only on Earth and so was forced to create, although workable, a very inefficient gravity chamber created from shoddy material, or rather shoddy in comparison to what Gohan was given access to.

With the help of the scientists Gohan learned what they currently could, and couldn't do, in under a day, and by the end of a single week they had developed plans for a prototype. Gohan could have created one without such plans, but he wasn't sure how the materials he had chosen would do. He knew all about the strengths and weaknesses of the earthbound materials, but he wanted to create the best, not simply replicate what he had seen. There was also an additional reason for doing this. If the prototype worked he would be able to expand upon it, making it more then just a gravity chamber.

When the plans had been completed Gohan had shown them to Karreth and told her what was required to create the prototype. Karreth, not caring about the cost, had the materials shipped in, or dug up as some could be found on the planet itself. As soon as the materials started arriving Gohan, along with the scientists and some top level construction workers began to construct it piece by piece. Gohan wanted to waste as little time as possible. He didn't know why, but he felt it was urgent to have this completed and as soon as possible. He just knew he had to get it up and running smoothly with proper management before whatever it was he sensed coming happened.

The entire project was kept quiet, most at the command of both Vegeta and Karreth. It was one of the few things they agreed upon. The two could always be seen arguing with one another whenever they tried to hold a conversation. Vegeta though, true to his promise, kept an eye on Gohan. He knew he was up to something, but he couldn't figure out what it was. Nothing seemed to be out of place. Gohan genuinely seemed to want to help him, with no strings attached, and it was bothering him more then anything else.

During the two weeks that were required to create the first prototype chamber Karreth was announced and officially accepted as heir to the throne and would ascend as Queen the moment she was able to produce a suitable mate to be her consort. This news only drove Karreth to new heights to try to gain Gohan's attention. Thankfully he was able to fight her off with the excuse that he was working on the project, and for the most part he was.

Two weeks after the initial proposal of the creation of gravity chambers the first prototype was constructed using a secret lab located inside an artificial lake that was inside the palace itself. There was a tunnel connection it to the rest of the palace and just before the lab there was a small antechamber type room. As for the chamber itself, technically everything was right, the theory behind it was sound, modeling after the same theory Bulma had taught him back on Earth, so there shouldn't be any problems yet everyone was nervous, especially Gohan, although for a different reason. He had been letting people down all his life, from his first fight with Vegeta and Nappa to the fight with Buu, in every last one of them he let someone down in some way. This caused him to be conscious of getting peoples hopes up since he did not want to see them crushed when he failed.

As Gohan stepped into the gravity chamber with Vegeta and Karreth the door closed behind them sealing them away from the rest of the world.

"For the amount of time, effort and money spent on this, it had better work Gohan." Vegeta said.

Karreth glared at Vegeta, "Shut it brother, it'll work and even if it doesn't it'll work the next time, or the time afterwards. Without his help and knowledge we wouldn't have even come this far." She said in Gohan's defense.

Gohan looked between the two, still nervous although he hid it well. Despite Karreth's words he had to succeed this time. "Well, there's only one way to find out." Gohan said as he approached the computer. "Computer?" Gohan asked.

"Yes creator?" A mechanical voice asked from the computer console. The computer console had been constructed much like the ones he had seen. He decided that, even if he wanted to use the best material, might as well keep it simple until he knew it worked. Afterwards he could make it fancy. The computer AI wasn't his idea, a couple of the scientists thought it needed a little something to make it special, even if it was a prototype, and had developed it as a side job. The room itself was much like the one back home as well, albeit built with much different material.

"Double the gravity in this room." He said.

"As you wish creator." The computer responded and a humming sound filled the room.

Gohan felt nothing but both Karreth and Vegeta did. The two of them staggered under the sudden change in gravity before for a moment before they were able to right themselves again, although it took a little more time and effort for Vegeta.

"I think it worked." Karreth said, "I definitely feel a difference, it's like my body weight just doubled."

Gohan nodded, "That's the way it is supposed to work. It's like wearing weighted clothing, except it's on every part of your body rather then just the portions that wear clothing. It may be fine now, but try training like that." Gohan said. Both Vegeta and Karreth exchanged looks. This most definitely make training harder, yet more effective.

"Why don't we see what each of you can withstand?" Gohan asked. When they both agreed he went back spoke once again to the computer, "Raise gravity to four times Vegeta gravity."

The humming sound didn't increase; the only indication of the increase of gravity was the grunts that came from behind him. He turned around and noticed Vegeta had been reduced to his hands and knees. Karreth however, was still on her feet, although rather unsteadily. Gohan still hadn't noticed much of an increase. His clothes tugged on his body a little but aside from that nothing had really changed.

Vegeta took one look at Karreth and snarled as he slowly struggled to his feet and managed to stay there although it was obvious it was taking all of his will power.

Gohan nodded, "Alright, computer, return us to normal gravity." He said and soon the humming noise came to a halt as gravity reverted back to normal. "Looks like your maximum is four times Vegeta, while Karreth's is five, maybe six but that would be pushing it."

"And you Gohan?" Karreth asked curiously, "How much can you sustain?" She asked.

Gohan grinned, "I'm about to find out. I'm also going to test to see how much this can take. It works far better then I had hoped at the lower settings, I want to see how well it functions at the higher ones." He replied.

When Vegeta and Karreth didn't move he looked at them curiously, "Umm... I kind of can't test it with you here. I'll be using gravity levels that would ground you both into dust before you could scream." He said.

The two nodded and silently left the room. When they had left Gohan turned back to the computer. "What is the limit that you can set the gravity to?" He asked.

"There is no limit. I can increase it until the moment I am crushed by the pressure I create." It responded.

Gohan nodded, "What is the limit that you can sustain?" Gohan asked.

"I do not know." It replied.

Gohan grumbled, "I hate guess and check." Gohan braced himself, "Alright computer, let's see what you can do. Set the gravity to fifty times Vegeta gravity."

The humming sound started up again, it was a little louder then with Vegeta and Karreth but that was to be expected. The change of weight finally began to press down on Gohan. Had he been at his maximum before being sent back in time it would have been nothing, as it was he was close to his limit.

"Computer, I want a full diagnostic." Gohan gasped out.

"Yes creator." It responded. "External and interior plates are showing no signs of buckling or stress. All systems are registering fine. There is a slight leak of pressure near the door but it is within acceptable tolerance levels. Electro magnetic shielding is showing no signs of fluctuation or stress. Everything is fine."

Gohan nodded, "Alright, return gravity back to normal. This test was a success." He breathed out as the gravity returned to normal. Gohan turned and left the chamber, a big smile on his face. When he got outside Karreth, Vegeta, and everyone else that had been part of the building process were waiting for the results. Gohan smiled at them, "Well, aside from a slight leak in pressure near the entrance there is absolutely no problems with it, at least none that the computer or I could tell. We'll have to go over it again to make certain, but I'd say this test went as well, if not better, than anticipated." Gohan announced. Sighs of relief echoed throughout the room. Gohan may have been safe from any form of harm but that didn't mean Vegeta and Karreth wouldn't take their disappointment out on them.

Gohan turned to Vegeta and Karreth, "If you give us about a week we should be able to finalize the chamber to create a fully functional one."

Vegeta frowned, "What's wrong with this? The door shouldn't cause that much of a problem!" Vegeta declared.

Gohan shrugged, "I know, but I want to add things to it. No point in only going half way. This test was just to make sure the gravity generator was working. I'm not going to be satisfied until I produce something that is worth our time." He finished.

Vegeta protested a couple more times but was quickly silenced by either Karreth or Gohan. Karreth, like Vegeta, wanted to use it right away but she trusted Gohan's judgment, and she had to admit to herself that she was more then a little curious as to what these additions were.

The final machine was finished a day later then Gohan had predicted, simply because he wanted to spend a day going over everything double and triple checking it to make sure it was perfect, or so damn near that it would take a supreme kai with a microscope to find a flaw. When Karreth and Vegeta came to inspect the gravity chamber they had to admit, they were impressed. When Gohan had said he wanted to add a few things, he neglected to say he was making it capable of sustaining a family of saiyans for a life time. The gravity chamber itself had been decreased in size but it was still large enough that even Vegeta couldn't complain. In addition to the gravity chamber there was a fusion power generator situated at the far end of the lab which supplied power for the entire place and then some. Gohan had thought it was wise to add the generator in case of a power outage in the city. The generator shutting off due to abnormal means may cause complications he'd rather not deal with. In addition to the generator room there were two bedrooms, each with a bathroom attached to it and capable of holding eight saiyans in each, a kitchen with several materialization machines to create the food on the spot. Those three rooms were on the left side of the lab; on the right was a storage facility with various extra parts and tools that could be used to patch up any minor problems that could arise unforeseen in the future. In addition to that there was a rejuvenation chamber, which was split into two parts, one for females and one for males. And the last room was simply a relaxation area. It was a place where one could go to just sit down and relax if they want a break from training. There was one addition that Gohan felt needed to be added. When a door was opened between one of the adjacent rooms and the gravity chamber the gravity was set down to normal Vegeta gravity. There were also monitors position inside the main room that monitored the health conditions of the people within. The gravity settings also reset themselves back to normal should anyone train themselves to the point of exhaustion or death appeared imminent unless help was administered immediately.

Karreth couldn't believe what Gohan and the others had created; it was like a saiyans dream come true. Everything one could want all warped up in a nice little package. Even Vegeta had to acknowledge that he, too, was very impressed. He couldn't fault a single thing with it, aside from the relaxation area, but he couldn't think of anything better that could have been put in its place. He had everything he needed, gravity controls, food, rejuvenation chamber, and a bed should he need it.

Karreth turned to Gohan. She, Vegeta, Gohan and Bardock were all inspecting the interior of the room, the scientist and workers were outside hoping for good news. "This is amazing! This is like a dream come true! I could live here!" She exclaimed.

Vegeta smirked, "Unfortunately you cannot. You have duties to attend to as heir to the throne. I however do not and shall be found down here most of the time." He responded, feeling for the first time glad he wasn't the official heir. It meant he had more time to train and become strong.

Suddenly Bardock frowned, "There is something odd about this set up." He said suddenly drawing their attention to him. He turned and looked back at his grandson. "How are you going to train?" He asked.

Gohan shrugged, "I'm not. Like you said, this set up is odd, odd in that it'll only work perfectly for people that are near the same level, like you, Vegeta and Karreth, along with a few others. That way you could all train at the same gravity level and still gain some from it. I won't, but that's because I'm not here to train myself, but rather you. I'm going to teach you several neat techniques that I'm sure you'll find useful in the future. The first being the ability to sense power levels without the use of a scouter." He said, "The second is being able to hide your power, very useful for making the enemy underestimate you, and therefore, drop his guard and/or make mistakes."

"But, don't you need to train?" Karreth asked curiously. "I mean it's not fair that you put all this effort into making something that you don't benefit from!" Vegeta silently agreed, hoping that now the reason behind all of this is going to appear.

Gohan laughed, "Well, the reason is that Karreth; you're the strongest here, ranking at about 21,000. If you were to compare that to me using the same scale... I'm infinitely stronger. I'm over 230 million. Still only about a third of my maximum, and until I reach that maximum once again there is no point in training as it'll amount to nothing. In seven weeks I should be back to full strength and by then more then likely there will be multiple rooms like this."

When the others managed to pick their jaws off the ground Karreth replied, "230 million... that can't be right... that's... monstrous..." She gasped out.

Gohan shrugged, "Regardless, it's the truth. I've fought creatures that make the power I have now seem like nothing. I could shatter mountains by punching them and they wouldn't even feel the blow but that is neither here nor there."

"And why do you wish to train us! This still hasn't explained why. You said you'd teach us all these techniques and abilities, yet you get nothing in return. If you were simply waiting for your power to return to normal you wouldn't want to teach us, you shouldn't have to! You've already done all this and for nothing and yet you still wish to do more?!" Vegeta yelled. He was extremely upset. He knew Gohan was up to something, and he would be damned if he didn't find out.

When Gohan turned to regard Vegeta his face changed. A strange smirk crossed his face as he slightly tilted his head; his left eye took upon an eerie glow. The look he gave them was so alien that it shocked them to their cores. "One single and simple reason Vegeta. There is a storm coming and I'm just making sure our race survives it."

"What do you mean!" Vegeta demanded when he came out of his shock, "What storm?"

Gohan shrugged, his appearance returning to normal, "I really don't know..." Gohan said. He himself was more then a little confused.

"The Aeesu-jins are angered by the deaths of their two strongest. By killing both Frieza and Cold, Gohan has unleashed the anger of their entire race on your own." A voice said. Four heads turned to regard the fifth person in the chamber, one that both Karreth and Gohan recognized.

"Supreme Kai! What are you doing here?" Gohan gasped out.

The supreme kai smiled one of those damned irritating smiles that everyone hates. The 'I know something so important and major it could shake the universe to its foundation, but I'm not going to share it' smile. One of the smiles that made the recipient want to rip out the other's head and shit down their throat. "Oh, you know, just simply passing through and decided to see how things were going. Coincidentally I managed to catch the entire conversation." He replied, infuriating Gohan even more.

Gohan was getting the urge to punch him because of the damned smile when something occurred to him, "What happened to your hair?"

The supreme kai coughed for a moment, "I ah, lost a war with a pair of scissors when I went to trim it the other day so I just decided to return it back to the way it was before I started sharing my body with my assistant."

"Well, it's a small improvement at least." Gohan said as he eyed the kai's new/old hairstyle.

"ENOUGH OF THIS!" Vegeta yelled, finally being able to recover from his shock at meeting the supposed highest authority in the universe. "You're telling me Gohan is responsible for bringing the wrath of the entire Aeesu-jin race against us?!"

The supreme kai shrugged nonchalantly, "Yes, pretty much. But you also need to remember that you wouldn't even HAVE a race to BEGIN with if it wasn't for Gohan. You would be whipped, beaten, and raped by Frieza by now if it were not for Gohan so I think you should have a little more gratitude!" The supreme kai snapped, not at all liking Vegeta's tone. He may not be able to intimidate Gohan, but Vegeta and the others that didn't know him; they were a far different matter.

Vegeta quickly shut up and didn't say a word. Angering a kai is not a good idea, angering a supreme kai is asking for a long and painful death. And Vegeta didn't want to die, not until he had attained true power anyways.

"But, if their entire race is going to attack, what chance do we have?" Bardock asked, echoing the sentiments of both Vegeta and Karreth.

"Quite a good one I do believe. Despite what you may think Frieza and Cold were examples of the finest breeding with the best training. No one else could really compare to them. Aeesu-jins aren't normally supposed to have more then 1 evolutionary state, but Frieza and Cold both found two additional ones, while Cooler found three." Kibitoshin revealed, "But don't worry about Cooler, I've already taken care of him and the same with Brolly. Brolly will be taken to a special world where he can get the mental treatment he needs to help him stay sane."

"Well, that's one worry off my mind, and a second I hadn't realized about." Gohan said with a small amount of relief.

The supreme kai nodded. "I know what you have planned Gohan, I can read your mind like an open book. You don't need to worry about the androids or Cell as they won't be created for at least another thirty years and I'm almost certain that everything will be done and over with in two at the most. As for Buu, well, we'll wait until you're fully recovered before we tackle him."

"What about Piccolo and Garlic Jr.?" Gohan asked.

The supreme kai smiled again, "Again don't worry. Piccolo will never become stronger than your father, and the constant fighting between the two of them will make them each strong enough to handle him when the time comes, and knowing Piccolo like I do he won't allow anyone else aside from himself, to take over the Earth."

"So aside from Buu there is nothing I need to worry about..." Gohan said in relief. Buu may have been a terror in his time, but he had survived it. He was far stronger now then Kid Buu was, and that was the ultimate form of Buu.

The supreme kai nodded. "There were other measures I would have taken had I known you saiyans could get as strong as you Gohan, and since I know now we can initiate them. Buu may not even have to be revived."

Gohan smiled happily, he may not ever be able to see his father again, but at least he won't have to worry about his father or anyone else on Earth facing the cataclysmic battles of his time. This conversation, as one could imagine, was making absolutely no sense to the other three saiyans in attendance, but that didn't really matter to the last two as it didn't involve them in any way, shape or form.

"So you and me will head to Earth after this invasion and take care once and for all?" Gohan asked curiously. "What about Babidi, could he not just make another Majin Buu?"

The supreme kai nodded, "Yes, you, another and I will head to Earth to take care of Buu. As for Babidi, he could, if he had his father to teach him, but he doesn't. There is no way he'll be able to replicate Buu, and he's too old to start the research now."

"Alright, now then, all that's left to do is train everyone as fast and hard as possible. My father was able to increase his power from 15,000 to 180,000 in a week, so these three should be able to do the same." Gohan said.

"And I'll let you do your stuff." The supreme kai turned to Vegeta and grinned, "I wonder how you'll turn out this time without Frieza to influence you. Regardless, the strongest Aeesu-jin still alive should be weaker then Frieza was at his weakest point. Still a fantastic level compared to a regular saiyan but with proper training..." The kai smiled, "And another strong person like Gohan will be joining you soon. Expect that person when you see them." And with that the supreme kai was gone.

To be continued...

A/N: There, the chapter is out nice and fast, don't expect the next one any time soon. It'll be out when it's out.

A/N: The fact that Bardock's father was prince Vegeta's grandfather will explain how Bardock was strong enough to challenge the elites when he was just a third class, also would explain how Goku was able to go super saiyan as well as his sons. I've seen too many "Bardock fucked a princess" explanations, so I made my own, one I hope is believable. Hehe.

A/N: Sorry for the change of perspective but I needed to pass a lot of time quickly, and I didn't feel it was really appropriate to keep everything that happened in the dark. You can't really blame me; do you really want me to explain every little detail that happened? It would get really repetitive and boring after awhile. As it is, the chapter STILL managed to hit 8,000 words and I didn't get to do everything I wanted. Heck, I only managed to do about half the stuff.
