Chapter Six

Arthain: I hope you like this so far. Read your e-mail I sent you something.

Trunk's Brat Baby: I believe I answered this earlier in another chapter but just in case I didn't… The time chamber gave Gohan four years in this fic instead of the one year in the show. He went in twice once with Goku and once with Vegeta. This was done to make him older and so he would learn about the Saiyans from Vegeta. Gohan is 19 and since I don't know his birthday he will become 20 whenever I feel like writing a birthday chapter.

Everyone else: You guys didn't have any specific comments or questions, but thanks for your reviews and I hope you guys stick with me. It was your reviews that gave me the inspiration I needed to get past my block!

AN: Hey guys! Finally figured out what to do with this fic! So as payment for you waiting so long, my next chapter will be the longest yet! Oh! And for those of you waiting for a fight, Frieza will meet his demise very shortly. Maybe even the next chapter. Who knows? By the way, I haven't seen the Bardock special so I don't know anything about any relationships Vasha and Torna might have with anyone so they are officially going to end up with characters of my choice. Not to mention that in this fic King Vegeta needs a mate… Also if you wanted to be added to my mailing list for updates on my fics, e-mail me at LunasMeow at with the story or stories abbreviated titles in the subject line. Ex: OLC (One Last Chance), FTLP (From Times Long Past), and AH (Ancient History). I know you're all waiting for the fic so I'll shut up now...

Vegeta-sei

Bardock assembles the team and they meet Gohan at the launch pad.

"Why is he here?" Vasha says loudly.

"He is a part of this team Vasha, whether you like it or not." Bardock says.

"Hmph!" Vasha says crossing her arms in front of her.

Gohan looks at Vasha and raises an eyebrow. "Why so sore? Weren't you the one who was so anxious to see my power? I thought you couldn't wait to prove that I wasn't a Super Saiyan?"

Vasha glares at Gohan, her eyes flashing as she speaks. "Well if that's why we're here then let's hurry up and get this over with! I can't wait to see how you explain your story to Bardock when you can't become a Super Saiyan."

Gohan merely smirks, shakes his head, and climbs aboard the pod. Everyone else enters their pods and when they are all settled, the ships take off for Velcomm.

Hours Later at Velcomm-sei

As the pods land, the sound echoes throughout the planet. This once healthy planet is now almost completely dead on the surface. A single continent remains untouched. Luckily for the people buying it, the Saiyans didn't damage much of the land under the top layer. It shouldn't be too hard to introduce life to the land underneath.

Gohan is the first to emerge from his pod. Stepping forward, he turns and faces the other pods watching the others emerge.

As the others step out Vasha is the first to speak. "Well? Show us the power of the Super Saiyan. I'll be the first to laugh when you can't."

"Hmph. I'll be the one laughing Vasha. And it'll be at your face when you see my power." Gohan says. "Oh, and you might want to turn off your scouters unless you want them to explode in your faces."

Torna snorts but turns off his scouter like everyone else. "Now hurry up and show us your so-called 'power'."

'I must admit, I think he's lying myself. But he does look like Celipa...' Bardock thinks to himself.

As he powers up, the ground shakes. He could jump into SSJ quickly, but he goes slow for effect. Tiny pieces of rock begin to float in the air. His hair sways in an unseen wind. After a few moments of the Gohan decides it's going a little too slow, so he crouches and balls his fists.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Gohan's aura instantly springs to life and begins flaring around violently. Hurricane winds instantly arise and the other Saiyans have to dig their feet into the ground to stop themselves from blowing away. His hair begins to flicker. Black, gold, black, gold, black, gold. Thunder booms and lightning strikes the ground. And in a blaze of power, a golden aura surrounds Gohan and his hair becomes a steady gold.

Vasha, Torna, and Bardock all stand in shocked silence. Never in their wildest dreams did they think that they would ever see a Super Saiyan of Legend. The power is so immense that they can somehow feel it.1 Bardock is the first to speak. "I... he... my..." If you can call that speaking anyway. Torna's jaw hangs wide open and his legs are shaking. Not from fear, just shock. Vasha on the other hand just takes one step back, and another, and another. Gohan focuses on her first.

"So Vasha, what have you to say now? I believe that you were the one how protested the most about me not being a Super Saiyan. And yet here you are, not saying a word, just steadily backing up." Gohan says with a sneer.

Vasha is still staring at Gohan with a look of sheer disbelief on her face when Torna comes over and gives her a light slap on the cheek. The contact snaps her out her state of shock and she nods her 'thanks'2 at Torna before stepping towards Gohan. She looks at Bardock before speaking and turns her face back to Gohan after Bardock nods his assent.

"Gohan." She says steeling her voice so it doesn't crack. "I have wrongfully accused you and as such have insulted your honor. Honor requires me to apologize though it is by no means an easy thing to do so. I... am sorry." A shiver runs down her spine as the words hated by every Saiyan come out of her mouth.

Gohan seeing her utter horror at having had to apologize as well as her complete embarrassment (though she hides it well) suddenly finds himself unable to be angry at her for doubting him anymore.3 Knowing from his time taking lessons from Vegeta that any kind words would just be a further embarrassment, he nods his head, accepting her apology. A moment later his head snaps up and the 'oh shit' look is on his face. "We have to get out of here."

Everyone is thrown off balance by the statement. "What?" They ask.

"Frieza is on his way. I still can't be sure whether or not I can kill him because I could either be in a different dimension or my own and if I'm in my own I dare not change the timeline without taking precautions." Gohan says.

Torna looks at Gohan for a moment before speaking. "Wait a minute. You're telling me that all this time we've been waiting for the Legendary Super Saiyan to appear, and now we definitely need one if Frieza is as powerful as you say he is, but because you can't change things it doesn't matter now that we have one?"

"I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about it." Gohan says. "Besides, you have a few years before Frieza decides to destroy the planet. By then my machines will be ready so you all won't have to die. That is if I don't discover that I'm not in my dimension so I can kill Frieza myself. I do owe him one after all."4

Bardock lets out an annoyed growl. "Great and after his scanners picked up that power you're emitting he's probably worried about the threat. Alright, everyone in the pods! We have to get out of here before Frieza gets here or he'll know that the Saiyan were behind this. So far he doesn't have access to out records yet so he won't know who cleared this planet. But we've got to hurry or he'll see our pods and follow us."

1.) Remember they can't sense ki yet so to them this is unbelievable.

2.) I put that in parenthesis because as we all know Saiyans don't 'thank' anyone unless it is something extremely dire that they or someone they cared about (mate, children, etc.) was saved from. Or something like that.

3.) After all, he's not completely Vegetized. He's still got some Son in there.

4.) Frieza nearly killed Piccolo and while Gohan did beat him up a bit, he didn't kill him.
