Gohan landed on a far away island. He felt bad for just leaving his family, but he didn't want them to see this side of him.

"That Stupid bitch! Making me seem like I was the one who ran out on them!" Gohan cried. He wiped his tears. And his mother! He kept crying and suddenly felt insecure. He felt like he had 5 years ago, when he was on the streets. All his memories of being abandoned, being caught up in drugs, and selling himself to older men to survive. He put his head between his knees. He didn't care about anything anymore. He just wanted to die.

Videl just wanted to leave. To get back to her home, where Gohan should be, holding her and Pan. Being the perfect Husband and Father he was.

"Do you know anyone named Son Gohan?" Chi-chi asked. Videl shook her head.

"No ma'm . I've never heard of the guy. I'm sorry." Videl told the worried mother.

"Well, if you ever meet him, tell him his family's waiting for him to come home. I feel so sorry; I just had to be with my husband. I left him. I'm so sorry Gohan!" Chi-chi cried.

Jeez, Poor Gohan. His parents did just abandon him. And this Bulma character seems like she's putting on an act for his parents. Videl thought.

"Well, we better get going. I have a lot to do around my house, and my father gets mad if my chores if they aren't done! Nice to meet you all!" And with that, they left.

"Your father better be going home if he isn't already there, or I'LL kill him!" Videl told her daughter on the way out the door. Only Vegeta heard her.

It was getting late. Gohan was sure that Videl would kill him if he weren't home soon. So he wiped his tears dry and flew off towards his house. On the way back, he picked up apology flowers for his beloved wife, and a small trinket for his daughter. It was a monkey. He smiled the thought of his family, the only reason to live anymore. He got home quickly to find Videl was barely getting home herself. Pan ran up to him.

"Papa! You're home!" Pan cried happily. Gohan smiled at his daughter.

"Sure am, and look what I got you!" He told Pan, holding up the monkey.

"That's for me! Wow! Thank you Papa!" Pan cheered. Videl smiled.

"And these are for you." Gohan said, giving Videl the flowers. Videl smiled and kissed him.

"Thank you Gohan. They're beautiful. But if you want your punishment, you better come inside and put her to bed." Videl smiled wickedly. Gohan smiled back, and hey ran inside. He quickly put Pan to sleep and ran off and locked him and Videl in their room.

It was the day of the tournament, and everyone was excited. Gohan was going to compete under the name John. He wore a green and black Gi. He also wore a head covering that covered everything but his eyes. Hercule asked why the costume, and he said that he didn't want to be recognized. Hercule just laughed.

Videl and Pan sat right behind Chi-chi and them because there was nowhere else to sit. Hercule go ready for the fights by watching his action glamour movies about himself.

Gohan went to the register line, and directly in front of him was Piccolo, Goku, Vegeta and Krillin. Vegeta kept looking at him like he was weird, while Goku kept smiling at him like he was up to fight him.

They all got registered, and Gohan was next.

"Name please?" the registrar asked him. The Z fighters just waited for him to say his name.

"John Doe." he replied. The others kept staring at him. Vegeta had seen those eyes somewhere before. Those cold, lifeless eyes that had so much pain in them, it was unbearable for even him.

"Okay, next!" The registrar yelled. Gohan stepped out of the line and looked right at the Z fighters, who just looked at him.

"Is it just me, or does that guy seem powerful?" Piccolo asked Goku.

"No, you're right, I think he's more powerful than what he shows!" Goku smiled. He was excited. He looked on as Hercule greeted the mysterious warrior. He saw Hercule hug him, and the warrior's eyes lighten up. Hercule laughed, and so did the warrior.

Goku smiled. Maybe this guy wasn't so bad after all.

At the qualifications round, the Z fighters were right after Hercule, and then Gohan. Hercule got a 128. It was Goku's turn.

He walked up to the punching machine and barely tapped it. He got a 298. Vegeta did the same and got a 305. Piccolo got a 267. And it was now Gohan's turn. He walked up and barely tapped the machine, but got a 306. Everyone gasped. Goku just smiled. Piccolo got curious, and Vegeta got suspicious.

Gohan looked at them. His eyes so full of hatred and anger towards them all. Krillin shivered with fear.

"Man, that guy gives me the creeps! I don't know about you guys, but I don't trust him!" Krillin told his allies.

"Na, He excites me. I feel something strong from him. Like a radiating energy that I haven't felt since I last saw Gohan!" Goku smiling. That's when Vegeta snapped. Those eyes belong to…

"Do you think daddy's going to win mama?" Pan asked her mother.

"Probably. I mean, who stronger than him? I mean he's stronger then grandpa Hercule!" Videl told her daughter.

"REALLY! I THOUGHT GRANDPA HERCULE WAS THE STRONGEST!" Pan yelled. Just then Bulma and Chi-chi sat down in front of them.

Oh shit! I really hope they didn't hear that! Videl thought.

Bulma looked up. "Hey, you were that girl outside my house the other day! How's it going?" Bulma asked Videl.

"Oh, it's going I guess. I've had to keep up with things around the house while my husban..I mean father trained!" Videl smiled nervously.

Bulma smiled. "Is that you're here to watch?" Bulma asked.

"Yeah, and a few friends who joined that competition. That's all. Well, I have to meet someone in front! It was nice seeing you all again! Bye!" Videl said, getting up and going to where they had seen Gohan.

They got to the area where Gohan was, and Pan ran to Gohan.

"Papa!" she cheered. Gohan looked real quickly to see if they Z fighters had heard that. But they weren't even there.

"Papa, are you listening to me?" Pan asked her father

"Uhhh. Yes Panny!" he smiled. Videl chuckled.

"Well, hello there my beautiful wife. How are you doing?" Gohan asked Videl. Videl smiled and smacked his arm playfully.

"Look, the junior Division's about to start! We better go get our seat, before someone else takes it! Oh and it's by your mother and Bulma, and some other people they're with, but it's the only seat left!" Videl told her husband.

"Oh well, if I get to be with my family to protect them, the so be it. Maybe I can eavesdrop on their conversations!" Gohan smiled.

"Whatever you say Mr. Secret!" Videl laughed. "Oh yeah, they may want to meet you. Bulma recognized me and Pan from the other day, so just tell them you're a friend!" Videl warned Gohan.

"I will come up with something. Just don't let Pan talk!" Gohan pleaded with his wife.

"Oh pan knows the deal. She maybe 2, but she's smarter than hell!" Videl laughed, and Pan nodded.

"I won't say a word Papa!" pan told Gohan. Gohan smiled. The three sat down behind his family.

"Oh! You're back! With a friend! Hi! Name's Bulma! This is Chi-Chi, master Roshi, the Ox king, Oolong, Yamcha, and Puar. What's you're name?" Bulma asked the masked guy.

"John. John Doe. Nice too meet you." Gohan drifted off. Bulma looked into his eyes, seeing all the love and happiness stirring in them, but she saw something else. Something like pain and anger. She saw a dark person inside the happy eyes.

"Are you from around here?" Chi-chi asked John.

"No, I'm from across the world, in Satan City." Gohan told his mother.

"Oh, Do you know someone by the name of Son Gohan?" Chi-chi asked him.

"No, sorry, never heard of him!" Gohan replied. All the hatred came back to him.

Bulma finally saw all the hatred some out when Chi-chi said Gohan's name. Maybe they did know each other, but the John character was trying to keep Gohan's whereabouts a secret.

"Well, if you ever find him, tell him his family misses him very much, and to come home!" Chi-chi told the stranger.

"Well, IF I ever meet him, I'll tell him!" Gohan forced a fake smile for his mother. The Junior Division was starting. There were 12 young fighters lined up. Gohan saw a little boy that looked exactly like his father, to the very detail.

"I have to go to the bathroom! I'll be back Videl!" Gohan said getting up.

"Whatever John." Videl said, about to say Gohan.

Gohan walked to the warm-up area. He walked by a familiar green man.

"I don't know what you're doing, but you don't have hide from me Gohan." Piccolo told Gohan.

"I'm sorry, I'm not Gohan?" Gohan asked Piccolo.

"Yeah right." Piccolo asked him.

"I'm sorry. I've never heard of a Gohan, so if you would excuse me!" He sneered. Piccolo looked at the mysterious fighter as he walked away.

Gohan walked to the food area and ordered a 100-course meal. He saw Goku and Vegeta eating at the table next him. He then canceled his order and just had a glass of water. It was hard to drink because of his head covering. Vegeta and Goku kept looking at him. Then the announcer came on the intercom.

"And the Junior Division winner is Trunks Briefs!" the announcer announced.

"You owe me 100 zeni Kakkarott!" Vegeta told Goku. Goku laughed.

"Oh, I'll give it to you out of the prize money I win!" Goku laughed.

"Don't you mean the prize money I'LL win!" Vegeta laughed.

Gohan rolled his eyes. They were still the same old Goku and Vegeta.

"Will all qualifying participants of the World Championships report to the waiting area where we will be starting the drawings in 5 minutes!" the announcer announced. Gohan got up, as well as Vegeta and Goku. They headed over to the designated area.

Gohan just sat there as the others stared at him.

"The first up is.. Goku!" The announcer said. Goku went to draw. He picked up a ball.

"And Goku is Number 5! Next is Majunior!"

Piccolo went up and picked a ball.

"And Majunior is #7! Next is Heron!"
A

tall blonde, muscular guy came up and drew a ball.

"Heron is #12! Next is. Vegeta!" Vegeta went up and drew.

"Vegeta is number 8, next is John!" Gohan came up and drew.

"And Gohan is #6! Next is." The announcer went on.

Great, I have to fight dad! Now I'm going to get discovered! Gohan thought.

The drawings were official.
