Gohan walked through the door to the medical wing of capsule corp.
"Hi, Gohan" said a nurse as he walked by her.
"Hi Kate." Gohan replied.
"Is Alex going home today?" Kate asked.
"Yeah he is." Gohan said happily.
"Good, good I'm happy to hear that. He is such a handful. It is amazing how fast he healed though. Anyway I've better get back to my rounds, goodbye."
"Goodbye, Kate." Gohan called over his shoulder as he walked further down the hall towards Alex's room.
He walked through the doorway of Alex's room and sat down in a chair next to Alex's bed.
"Wake up, Alex." Gohan said as he nudged the sleeping form of Alex.
"Wake up." Gohan said again a little more loudly.
Gohan leaned close to Alex's ear like he was going to whisper something and shouted
"Wake up!" Alex snored.
Gohan leaned back into his chair and thought for a few moments. deciding it was time for drastic measures. He leaned forward and pushed Alex off of the bed. With a thump Alex hit the floor.
"What happened!" Alexasked sleepily as he climbed back onto the bed.
"You wouldn't wake up so I had to push you out of bed." Gohan said with a slight grin on his face.
"You didn't have to push me out of bed I would have gotten up eventually." Alex said still a little sleepy.
"Yeah I did, I wanted you up as soon as possible, besides it's one in the afternoon."
"One? Why didn't you get me up sooner!" Alexexclaimed fully awake now.
"Because I just got here." Gohan replied, "Here, put some clothes on, your getting out of here today."
He tossed the backpack to Alex.
"I am aren't I, I totally forgot. To think I spent all morning sleeping when I could have been training." Alex said as he pulled the covers off of himself and stood up.
"Your going to need the energy for today, I have something special planned for you." Gohan said as Alex pulled off the hospital gown and opened the backpack.
"Something special you say, can't wait." Alex said as he pulled out some pants.
"His body hasn't even scarred! Is it - no there is no way." Gohan thought studying Alex's body.
"Hope the clothes fit, you looked about my size so I grabbed some of my things." Gohan said keeping his thoughts to himself.
"They fit fine. Thank you" Alex said pulling on a pair of black jeans.
"No problem I have to many clothes anyway." Gohan said
"So what's so special about what you planned?" Alex asked as he pulled out a black tank top and some socks.
"Oh you'll see, in fact it's not far; it's inside of this building actually." Gohan told him.
"Let's stop by my place first, I have something I would like to give you." Alex said.
"Ok." Gohan said as he stood up.
"Ready to go?" Gohan asked.
"I've been ready for a week. But where's my shoes and sword?" Alex asked
"In our room." Gohan told him as he turned to go
"Our room?" Alex asked following him.
"Yes, our room, I know the owner of Capsule Corp. she's an old friend of my Dad. She only had one room with what we need." Gohan answered going down the hall.
"What do we need?" Alex asked curiously
"You'll see when we get there, but I will tell you this it will make you at least twice as strong as you are." Gohan said exiting the medical wing, Alex right behind him.
"Can't you just tell me what it is?" Alex asked closely following Gohan.
"Nope, you're just going to have to wait." Gohan said as he turned a corner.
They walked a few minutes in silence.
"How big is this place?" Alex asked sounding bored.
"I'm not sure. Right down this hallway is our room. Oh, I almost forgot, we only have one bed." Gohan said as he turned into the hallway that leads to their room.
"Only one bed! But which one of us will get it" Alex said sounding very surprised.
"We could take turns, one sleeping on the bed, the other in the floor, or we could both sleep in the bed. It is aKing size, so we would have plenty of room." Gohan said as he opened the door to their room.
"Well, I guess it would be better than sleeping on the floor." Alex said as he walked into the room behind Gohan.
"Your shoes are over there." said Gohan pointing to a corner to his right.
Gohan walked over to the bed, kneeled, reached under the bed and pulled out Alex's sword from it's hiding place.
"Catch." Gohan told Alex as he tossed him his sword.
"Thanks for keeping this for me." Alex said as he caught the sword and slung it onto his back.
"No problem. Over there is the bathroom," said Gohan pointing to the door closest to Alex, "and over here is the training area." Gohan said walking over to a door that had "Gravity Room" written on it in big, bold, black letters.
"Gravity room? What does that mean" Alex asked.
"It means that it is a room in which you can adjust the gravity to become stronger faster. Not to mention the speed you gain by using it. Training under two times more gravity than normal tends to make one stronger and faster than before, two times as strong; now that I think about it, and with this machine you can set the gravity higher as you become stronger." Gohan told Alex unlocking the door.
"It will only unlock for certain people. Bulma programmed it to unlock for you and me only so we wouldn't have any Interruptions during our training sessions."
"Ok, cool." Alex said a little stunned by what he had just been told.
"Um...well, what was it that you wanted to give me?" Gohan asked after a few moments of silence.
"Uh.oh, yeah. Yeah, it's at my place, a boarded up building at the end of the street that you saved me on. Let's go." Alex said and headed for the door.
"Wait I know a faster way." Gohan told Alex as he went over the window and pushed it open.
"What are you going to do? Fly?" Alex said jokingly.
"Yes,"Gohan answered,"do you need a demonstration?"
He jumped out of the window and hovered in the air. Alex ran over to the window and looked down expecting to see Gohan standing on a ledge. But instead all he saw was Gohan's feet hanging in midair.
"B-b-but that's impossible, people can't fly." Alex said stunned.
"Oh, but they can, I can teach you if you'd like." Gohan said still floating just outside the window.
"Here hold on tight." Gohan said as he held out his arm for Alex to hold onto.
Alex reached out and grabbed Gohan's arm still too stunned to say anything. As soon as Gohan was sure he had a good grip on Alex's arm he yanked Alex through the window and flew straight up into the air until they were just under the clouds. Alex seemed to have gotten his voice back because he shouted
"Holy shit, Don't you ever fuckin' do that again!"
"Sorry, but I had to do it or you'd never get up here." Gohan said laughing.
"Alright, so when are you going to teach me to do that?" Alex asked.
"Soon, but for now lets go and get whatever it is that you want to give me." Gohan said
"OK, just don't let go." Alex said
"Trust me, I won't." said Gohan as they started to head for the east side of Satan city.
"So why do we have to stay up here?" Alex asked
"Because if we don't someone might see us and send the city into a panic by saying that Cell has come back." Gohan said to Alex as they he flew a little faster.
"How did you learn to do this" Alex asked Gohan.
"Piccolo taught me." Gohan answered.
"Piccolo? The demon King? I thought that he died." Alex said
"Well, he did when Nappa and Vegeta showed up but he got wished back by the Namekian dragonballs."
"The what?" Alex asked.
"I'll tell you later, we're here." Gohan said and shot straight down to the ground landing with hardly a sound.
Alex on the other hand had fell upon landing and was lying flat on his back.
"You okay, Alex" Gohan asked.
"I just free fell five thousand feet, what do you think." Alex said sarcastically.
"Oh, Ok your fine." Gohan said as he held out a hand to help Alex up. Alex took his hand.
"Next timewarn e will ya?" Alex said as he was pulled up by Gohan.
"Next time you'll probably be flying by yourself."
"Well there it is, home, sweet, home." Alex said jokingly.
Gohan recognized the place immediately. It was the same building he had knocked the two men into that had hurt Alex.
"Well come on, Gohan." Alex said as he walked down the deserted street.Gohan followed on guard in case someone tried to attack them.
"Looks like they got the money after all." Alex said as he walked into the building. The room they walked into was barren except for a mattress and some blankets in one corner.
"Beautiful place." said Gohan jokingly
"I know it won the scummiest house in eastside award last month." Alex saida huge grin onface.
"Well any why this is what I wanted to give to you." said Alex as he pulled some boards off of the wall to reveal a big metal square in the wall, about six ft. wide and six ft. tall.
"It's three feet thick and welded shut the thing behind it is yours. Now we just need to figure out a way to open it."
"Stand back."Gohan told him.
Gohan raised his hand two fingers extended towards the door.
"What are you going to do?" Alex asked
Gohan didn't answer. A small ball of light formed at the tip of his finger and slowly became larger until it was the size of a basketball. Gohan willed his ki into a ring. Alex watched mesmerized by the ring of light. The ring became bigger until it was about five and a half feet tall and five feet wide.
The ring of ki moved toward the metaldoor, as it came into contact with it, the metal began to disappear.The ring then started to become smaller destroying the metal it touched until it vanished.
"Come on." Gohan said dropping his hand back to his side.
"How did you do that!" Alex asked, stunned.
Gohan expected this.
"The same way I fly, you'll be able to do it to soon enough. now come on."
Gohan walked through the hole, Alex right behind him.
"So were is this thing you wanted to give me?" Gohan asked.
Alex just stood behind Gohan still stunned.
Gohan asked again, this time Alex said
"It's the brother of my sword. For generations my family has given these two swords to their two first born boys. My Uncle didn't want the one my grandfather gave him so it went to my father. Usually when the two brothers have kids they fight with these swords, the fights ended in two ways the first one is that one brother gives up. The second one is one brother kills the other brother. There is a legend behind these swords. Would you like to hear it?"
"Of course. Go on."
Alex began his tale, "Long ago the gods crated three swords to keep the balance between yin and yang, evil and good. One of these swords was named yin this sword lusted to taste the blood of all in its presence even it's wielder. This sword was made by the dragon god, Yin, and so he made this sword using his own bone to make the handle and sheath, he wrapped the sheath and handle in his own skin. He made the blade of this cursed sword out of souls. Not only mortal souls, either, he had stolen several immortal souls as well in his reign.
The opposite of the yin sword was of course the yang sword forged by Yang the tiger god. The yang sword was made with justice and mercy not anger and hate as the Yin sword was. This sword's blade is made of justice and mercy. The handle is made of crystal, the crystal of the tiger god. This crystal controls his power, without the crystal his power would become as destructive as yin's. The sheath is made of Hope. The third sword was made by a mix of yin and yang, it is the link between the two powers. This sword is known as zurijie. It was created mortal men their skill surpassing even the gods. Using fragments of yin's and yang's power the men created the sword that would forever link good and evil. In the great battle of Yin and Yang the swords were knocked down to earth transforming into a normal sword as soon as they touched the ground of course Yin and Yang went after their swords but they too were transformed into mortal men when they touched the earth. They killed each other leaving their swords behind as they rose back up into the heavens. The Yin and Yang swords were picked up by the wielder and creator of zurijie and given to his two sons. One of his sons tried to kill the other for the sword but was himself slain by the sword he wielded, the Yin sword. The remaining brother took the Yin and Yang swords and gave them to his children which in turn did the same thing their father and uncle did and it continues like this to his very day. The zurijie was lost buried with its creator and only wielder waiting for it's time to be found."
Alex finished his story. Gohan was sitting cross-legged on the floor.
"The sword I possess is Yin it does indeed thirst for blood. The one I give you is Yang it does indeed want to help people. It chooses who it kills, Yin couldn't care less. I have no brother so I guess the story ends with me." Alex told Gohan.
Gohan stood up walked over to the small chest that Yang was in. He opened the chest, reaching in and grasping Yang he lifted it up out of the chest were it had been in for apparently many years.
"Is this the house you parents lived in?" Gohan asked
"Yes it is, that sword has been in there since I was born." Alex answered.
Gohan slung the sword onto his back and turned to face Alex.
"You know you'll going to have to teach me to use this thing, don't you?" Gohan asked.
"I'll teach you while you teach me how to fly and do what ever it was that you did to get in here." Alex said
"Lets go back to Capsule Corp." Gohan said and walked out of the hole Alex right behind him.
He walked outside Alex beside him. Ten men were gathered around the entrance to the old building. Gohan glanced around each man had a gun in his hand.
"I knew you would come back here, Alex." said a man in sunglasses.
"Now, Mike don't do this, I don't want to kill you." Alex said to the man.
"But Alex the odds are in my favor. Ten men with guns against two boys with some big knives." Mike said to Alex.
Alex unsheathed his sword.
"Mike don't do this, please." Alexpleaded once again.
Mike raised his revolver and cocked it.
"Sorry Alex, but this I love it when I get to mix pleasure with business." Mike told him.
The other men aimed their guns at them and fired. Gohan went super sayian, caught all of the bullets, and knocked every man that had fired into a building.
Mike hadn't fired a shot. Alex charged him exactly like he had the two men before. But Mike wasn't taken for surprise and fired. Gohan busy knocking a man through a window didn't see but heard the shot.Heturned the bullet was inches from Alex, Gohan was twenty five yards away. Gohan flashed super sayian two in mid run for as much speed as possible but was it enough. The bullet was half an inch from Alex now, Gohan was at twelve yards, quarter inch, four yards, it was touching his skin; Gohan was a few feet he stretched out his hand.
He caught it with his finger tips. The three of them stood there frozen in time. Gohan amazed that he had caught the bullet, Alex terrified at what had almost happened, and Mike just now registering that his bullet had been stopped and that a blond boy that hadappeared out of nowhere was holding it in his fingertips.
Gohan flung the bullet back at Mike. It hit him in the left shoulder shattering it and making him spin around three times on the spot before he fell to the ground on his back. Gohan spun around to face Alex who had fallen down and was recovering from the shock of what just happened.
"Y-y-y "
"I saved your life." Gohan cut him off.
"Y-y-y-you defeated Cell." Alex finally got out.
"What?" Gohan asked surprised at how he knew that.
"I saw you show up at the Cell games, I saw that man fight Cell, that man was your father wasn't he?" Alexasked
"Yes, he is." Gohan said worried at the look on Alex's face.
"A-a-and then you fought Cell didn't you? You killed Cell didn't you" Alex Asked
"Yes" Gohan said growing more worried at the tone that Alex's voice was taking.
"I knew I had seen you somewhere before I just couldn't place. But nowthat you turned your hair blond I knew you had defeated Cell. The power your giving off now it's amazing." Alex said sounding a little hysterical.
Gohan relized he was still in super sayian two and powered down immediatly, he didn't want to upset Alex anymore. Alex sat there and stared at Gohan for a long time.
"Your an alien." Alex said so suddenly Gohan nearly fell out of surprise.
"No, my dad is sayian, I'm only half." Gohan said
"Come on Alex we better go, you don't look very good." Gohan said as he bent down to pick Alex up
"No, I can stand up by myself." Alex said still sounding a bit hysterical.
Gohan Let Alex get up by himself. Alex threw a arm around Gohan's shoulder's to support himself when his legs nearly gave way.
"You sure youralright, Alex?" Gohan asked still very worried
"I'm fine Gohan." Alex said.
"Watch out!" Alex shouted as Mike fired his gun again this time aiming for Gohan.
Alex jumped in front of Gohan facing him. Gohan reached out instinctively to grab the bullet. He was to slow, the bullet struck Alex in the back.
Gohan barely catching it after sticking his fingers an inch into Alex's back in an attempt to stop the bullet from hitting any major organs. Alex and Gohan didn't move for what seemed like hours.
"I'll die for you Gohan." Alex said tears running out of his eyes.
"Alex you didn't have to do that, it wouldn't have hurt me. Your not going to die! I won't let you." Gohan was in a panic.
"Calm down! I've been in worse situations than this. Just calm down." Gohan told himself trying to calm down. He then caught sight of mike, trying to get to his feet.
"I'm going to take you to Korin tower, he'll have some senzu beans." Gohan said rising up into the air, he looked down on Mike and saw a triumphant smile on his face.
He flashed super sayian two and threw the bullet he had Just taken out of Alex's back. It struck Mike in the other shoulder making Mike cry out in pain. Gohan soared five hundred feet above the abandoned streets and threw a ball of ki about the size of a baseball into Mike's screaming form which was nothing more than a dot from this height. Mike's screams of agony reached Gohan's ears as the ball of ki entered into his chest burning him alive from the inside out. "Thirty seconds Mike, that's all you have to live." Gohan thought almost happily as he soared another five hundred feet up into the air and took off striaght for Korin's tower. Flying so fast the people a thousand feet below him were nearly knocked down in his wake.
Gohan landed dropping out of super sayian two as he did so.
"Korin do you have any senzu beans?" Gohan asked out of breath because of flying so fast.
"I have half of one." the strange white cat said as he handed it to Gohan.
"Thanks Korin" Gohan said as he put the bean into Alex's mouth
"Chew it then swallow it Alex." Gohan told him.
Alex didn't swallow; he was unconscious. Gohan took the bean from Alex's mouth put it in his and chewed it. Gohan put his mouth to Alex's and using his tongue pushed the chewed up senzu bean into Alex's mouth and into his throat, hoping that Alex would swallow the bean. Gohan drew back staring into Alex's face. "You better not die on me."
