Gohan was sitting in the back of the U.A. classroom the next morning, after his sparring with Vegeta and a good meal, he was feeling much less stressed from class the other day. Unfortunately his appearance was alarming for the rest of the class seeing as his arm was wrapped in bandages and his face was sporting a few dark bruises.
"Midoriya," Iida asked, stepping up to ask the question the rest of the class was thinking. "Are you, okay?"
"Hmm," Gohan hummed. "Yeah, I'm great, haven't felt this good all week, why?" he innocently asked.
"You just," Iida gestured to Gohan's body. "Is someone hurting you?"
"Pfft, me, no," Gohan leaned back and wince. "Okay so he may have gotten a few good hits on me, but it's not like I didn't get him back."
"So there is someone hurting you," Kirishima interjected. "That's not manly."
"I'm fine, he just broke my arm and a couple of ribs," Gohan dismissed as he pulled up his shirt to show the nasty circles where Vegeta had hammered his fists into his chest. The class hissed as they realized that just sitting in his chair Gohan must be agonizing.
"Midoriya," Momo said as she pulled out her cellphone. "Please, if someone is abusing you, we are here to help." She quickly wrote down some phone numbers. "If you need a place to go, it's not an inconvenience to my family to house you." She pressed the note into Gohan's hand.
As Aizawa walked into the 1-A classroom he had expected to walk into a room filled with rowdy teens who need to be disciplined. Instead he was suddenly confronted by his students all shouting over each other. "Shut up brats, one at a time," he groaned as he rubbed his eyes.
"Someone has been abusing Midoriya," Mina said before anyone else could.
Aizawa looked across the room at Gohan who did look a bit roughed up. The normally stoic teacher let out a snort of amusement to the horror of his students.
"Is that funny to you," Kaminari gasped.
"No, no, just didn't think my morning would start like this," Aizawa dismissed his students. "Midoriya, who did that to you?" Aizawa asked, expecting the answer to be the only other person on the planet really capable of harming the teen.
"It was Ve-, Mr. Briefs," Gohan said, not giving out Vegeta's name since it's harder to trace information that way.
"See he's fine," Aizawa ignored his class' concern. "Now today's lesson will be covering proper reporting to police," he instructed as he started to write on the board at the front of the room.
The concerned 1-A students were not satisfied with how little was being done to help their classmate who was clearly in a dire situation. They collectively decided to help Gohan and put that plan into action at lunch. "So this, Mr. Briefs," Jirou asked as she sat down next to Gohan. "Is he some rough guy in your neighborhood?"
"What no, he's a family friend," Gohan answered as he put more food in his mouth, luckily he had prepped a few snacks that he could have during the day so that he wasn't eating a mountain of food at lunch.
"A family friend who just beats you up," Mineta questioned. "Do your parents know about this?"
"Of course they know," Gohan replied. "I mean, they let me go over specifically because we fight."
"What the hell?" Sero tilted his head. "They just send you to this guy who does this to you," he asked gesturing to the damage that was on Gohan.
"Well my mom does, dad died a few years back, but they both fought ever since the day they met, it's a lot less destructive now," Gohan waved off the concern, hoping to get back to his meal. "Honestly it's fine, we know that if we go too far we have things on hand. Plus Bulma would be pissed if we broke something she was working on."
"Wait a moment, Bulma, Mr. Briefs, Bulma Briefs," Momo questioned. "The Capsule Corps. Briefs, that family?!"
"Yeah, they're family friends, my dad and Bulma used to go on adventures when they were kids," Gohan shrugged.
"I uh, met the Briefs at a business meeting my father brought me too," Momo shivered. "Mr. Briefs always gave me the creeps."
"Haha," Gohan chuckled. "Honestly, he's a lot nicer than he used to be, at least he's not killing anyone."
"You're joking right," Tooru asked nervously. "He's not actually a murderer, is he?"
"Not so much murder," Gohan absentmindedly responded but before he could go further the alarms began to ring across the school.
"What's going on," Uraraka shouted over the noise.
"That's the alarm, someone broke into the school," Iida announced. "It was in the student handbook," he said as he held up the small text.
"Why do you have that with you?" Sato asked.
"Why don't you have it with you?" Iida questioned instead of answering.
Being that an alarm wasn't sounding the end of the world, the students didn't panic but being unused to the location were stuck as a slow-moving mass who headed for the exit. Gohan in the meantime was trying to sense the ki of the people in the building and for a brief moment noticed some ki in a small room not far from him, one of which's ki was strange. "Hmm, I wonder what that is about," he commented as he started to head towards that room only to have a student grab him and pull him back to the crowd.
"This way Midoriya, you don't want to throw off the head count," Iida said as he pushed up his glasses.
"Yeah," Gohan replied as he looked in the direction again but no longer felt the ki in that room.
After that event with the alarm the rest of the day passed without incident, but for Gohan his day wasn't nearly over. After waving his goodbyes to his classmates he headed back into the main building. "Present Mic, are you in here," Gohan called out as he stuck his head into the teachers' lounge garnering the attention of the staff who were finishing some paperwork before a meeting about the days break in.
"Mr. Son," Nezu quirked an eyebrow not having expected a visit from a student at this time. "What brings you to the teacher's lounge?"
"Oh, Present Mic just asked me to teach him how to fly and I don't have anything really going on today, so I was going to see if he was free to get started learning," Gohan answered.
"Hell yeah little listener," Present Mic shot out of his desk in excitement.
"Wait, you can teach people that?" Midnight shouted.
"Well yeah, anyone can do it," Gohan shrugged. "It's one of the most common techniques in other species."
"That's astonishing," Power Loader commented. "I would like to learn if that is okay."
"Well sure, it's probably going to take a few days, unless you're some kind of martial arts prodigy, but I don't see a problem showing you all," Gohan said.
"If you would not mind," Nezu nodded. "I think it would do every one of my staff members good to know about some of these techniques."
So a few minutes later Gohan and the U.A. staff were in one of the gyms. "Well I guess the best way to start is for each of you to find your ki," he said as he sat down on the floor.
"And we all have this?" Thirteen questioned.
"Of course, it's the life force of every living thing," Gohan laughed. "Everyone's got to have at least a little, and using it over time makes it stronger," he added on. "Now watch."
"The first thing you have to do is calm yourself," he said as he started to control his breathing. "A wild mind and heart make it harder to find your center," Gohan instructed as he cupped his hands. "That's where your ki is," he said softly forming a small golden ball of energy.
"You'll know it when you hear it, it's like a pulling of your very soul," he said as he opened his eyes to see the teachers watching intently. "Then you just bring it out and after that it's just a matter of using it how you want," he said as he whipped the small sphere around him before exploding it in a show of sparks.
"Amazing," Hound Dog commented as he and the rest of his colleagues sat on the floor and mimicked what Gohan was doing.
After a few minutes of calm and Gohan sensing his teachers, he could feel most of them on the cusp of successfully pulling their ki out. "That's it, wow, you're all doing great," he said trying to give encouragement to the adults. A few managed to form a small ball in their hands and were smiling like a kid looking at puppies and ice cream. "I guess it helps that you are all accomplished fighters."
Gohan had been expecting what happened next, he quickly caught Nezu as the small principal slumped over. "He's fine, just not used to expending his ki," Gohan assured the teachers that nothing was wrong. "It'll take time for your bodies to get used to using it and years to build it up to really high levels, but it's something you will always have though."
"Amazing," Present Mic huffed as he started to get tired from just forming the ball. "So when can I start flying."
"After you get your energy back," Gohan answered before snapping his fingers. "Oh right, I can do this," he raised his hand and aimed it at the teachers. "Haa," he shouted as he fired a flash of ki in their direction.
The sudden movement and bright light was startling for the teachers who had no idea what happened by a moment later they felt full of energy. "What did you do?" Aizawa asked.
"Shared a bit of my ki with you all, otherwise you'll be too tired to try flying," Gohan answered. "Now that technique requires that you push your ki below you, so just gather your energy and relax your muscles." He instructed as he slowly lifted off the ground.
"Bwahaha," All Might laughed as he lifted up off the ground. "Outstanding, this is incredible young Son." Before falling back to the ground tired. "Why I haven't had a workout that vigorous in years."
"Yeah, it'll definitely take you a while before your zipping around, but when you do, there's really no better way to get around," Gohan said as he watched each of the teachers start to lift off the ground.
"Well that has certainly been an enlightening experience Mr. Son," Nezu said as he and the rest of his staff exited the gym, the sun already setting in the distance. "I think it will be something truly wonderful if we can later incorporate some of these teachings to the students, think of the amount of good that heroes will be able to do if they are able to utilize their ki like this."
"Yeah, I'd imaging it's going to be a crazy world if everyone's doing this," Gohan nodded. "I just hope tha…," whatever Gohan was going to say next was cut off when a small object slammed into him and sent him skidding across the yard, digging a deep groove in the ground.
"Big brother," Goten shouted in Gohan's face. "Mom sent me to find out why you didn't come home, it's almost time for dinner."
"I was doing some school stuff," Gohan groaned as he sat up. "Tell her I'll be home soon, okay squirt."
"Aheh, okay Gohan," Goten said as he lifted off his brother's chest. "Hi, I'm Goten," the little half-saiyan greeted the U.A. staff. "I have to go now, but it was nice meeting you," he said quickly before flying off into the distance.
"Ugh, little brothers," Gohan said as he dusted himself off. "Well I guess that's my warning to get on home, it's going to be worse if mom has to come get me," Gohan stretched before floating off the ground. "I'll see you all tomorrow," he waved as he zoomed off into the distance.
"One moment he seems like a normal teenager," Ectoplasm commented. "The next you get reminded that he's completely different from everything living thing on this planet."
"So, I know we are all tired from Mr. Son's training, but we do need to discuss the break in that happened earlier today," Nezu said. "I'll try to be brief since we could all use a good meal and some rest."
"Good morning," Gohan said as he entered the classroom the next day. "How's everyone doing?" he asked his classmates.
"How are you okay?" Jirou shouted as she saw that all the bruises were gone from Gohan's face, where previously he looked like he had been worked over by a tire iron he was back to his normal goofy self.
"I got a nice meal and some rest," Gohan shrugged. "See, I told you I was fine."
"Maybe that's his quirk, some type of regeneration factor that allowed him to push his body past normal limits since he doesn't have to worry about long term damage," Kirishima guessed as it had become a bit of a challenge for the class to try and figure out what Midoriya's quirk was.
"So he's not answering his phone again," Aizawa groaned as he checked in with Nezu as the students got on the bus to be taken to their hero course.
"No, ever since his restoration he's been too enthusiastic about stopping crime and it's not the first time that he has come in late," Nezu sighed.
A few hours ago. "Ahaha. Have no fear, I am here," All Might proudly said as he stopped another villain. "I feel great," All Might shouted as he launched himself into the sky, forgetting he needed to be on the other side of the country for his job.
"And you told the class that there was a rescue-oriented lesson today," Nezu asked.
"Yes, I have Thirteen at the USJ, it can still work without All Might though," Aizawa nodded.
"I'll have a sit down with All Might when he comes in to talk to him about his priorities, then send him along to join you," Nezu said as he waved the 1-A class off.
"So Satan," Sero leaned over the railing as the teens rode the bus to where their class would take place. "What it like having the number one hero in the world as a dad," he asked.
Videl tucked one of her pigtails behind her ear. "It's alright I guess," she shrugged. "He's kind of busy a lot and I don't see him all that much," she said.
"Makes sense he'd be spending much of his time keeping the entire world safe," Sero nodded in understanding.
"Might not be number one for too much longer though," Kirishima smiled. "Have you seen All Might's capture rate, seems like he's putting in overtime to get his spot back."
"Maybe, he's still the World Martial Arts champ though," Videl chuckled nervously. "I mean, it'd be crazy to see those two go head to head."
"Yeah, I can't wait to see the next one in a couple of years, we'll all be old enough to compete," Kirishima said, practically vibrating with excitement.
Gohan had been barely paying attention when he heard his name called. "Hey Midoriya," Videl called out. "You have an interesting fighting style; do you plan on competing?" she asked hoping to gain some insight into 1-A's strangest student.
"Maybe, maybe not," Gohan shrugged. "I was so busy with something else going on at the time that I didn't even realize the twenty-fourth had happened. Of course, none of the previous champions came back for that one either," he tacked on, knowing that everyone else was busy training for the androids.
"Likely too scared," Bakugo growled as he had watched the twenty-fourth world martial arts tournament and had been disappointed that the previous champion Son Goku hadn't returned to defend his title. Of course the previous tournaments had been so long ago that no recorded footage remained of those fights so he could only find vague mentions of what happened and it all read like nonsense to him, which infuriated him as he couldn't tell how strong those past fighters were.
Before Gohan could open his mouth to tell Bakugo to shut up, the bus pulled up to a huge domed building. "Woah, so cool," Kaminari commented as they disembarked the bus.
"Welcome to the USJ," Thirteen greeted the class.
"Oh my gosh, it's Thirteen," Uraraka gasped at seeing her favorite hero in person.
Thirteen guided the class of twenty teens into the large building. "Just as combat and capturing villains and criminals is an important part of hero work, so too is responding to disasters and rescuing people, and in my opinion it's even more important."
As the students looked around the massive structure. "Yes, it is quite impressive, lessons taught here are to get potential heroes acclimated to various disasters and environments in a controlled setting so that later you are not suddenly unaware of what to do."
"In addition," Thirteen continued his lecture. "It's important to know how dangerous one's quirks can be, such as mine, Blackhole can suck up debris or fires to help remove obstacles during a rescue operation but used against another person can be incredibly deadly. I am certain that over the next few weeks that you will learn these limits and in time be ready to safely help those in need," Thirteen finished proudly.
Aizawa glanced around to see who was paying attention and who would need to be scolded but noticed that Gohan was looking down in the center of the building. "What is that?" he inquired with Thirteen.
"I don't know, that's never happened before," He replied as they watched a black swirl begin to open up further as people started to walk out of the created portal.
"Are those the people we're going to save?" Mineta asked as he looked at the large crowd.
"No, everyone needs to get back," Aizawa said realizing what was happening. "Those are villains."
"Villains, at U.A.," Sato gasped. "How?"
Shigaraki looked up to the group of heroes standing at the entrance, when he didn't see a distinct body he groaned, "All Might's not here?"
Kurogiri nodded. "How unfortunate, only Eraserhead and Thirteen appear to be present."
"Oh well," Shigaraki grinned. "I wonder if the mighty hero will show up if we kill some kids."
"What kind of morons attack the heroes home base," Kirishima jokingly questioned his teachers with a smile which fell as he noticed how serious the adults were taking this situation.
Momo realized something else strange was going on and looked to Thirteen to ask her question, "Sir what about the alarms, shouldn't they be going off?"
"Yes they should," Thirteen hummed. "Unless this isn't the only place they struck."
"No," Gohan shook his head catching the attention of the rest of the group. "I can't sense extra ki anywhere else on the campus, so this is the only place attacked."
"Great," Aizawa smirked at the knowledge that the rest of the school is still safe. "At least that narrows it down, Thirteen get the students out of here, I'll buy you time so you can get them away and raise the alarm."
"Sir," Gohan stepped forward. "Let me help," he said.
Aizawa shook his head. "No, Thirteen isn't a combat hero, if worst comes to worst, you need to keep your classmates safe," Aizawa ordered before he launched himself down the steps to intercept the villains who were beginning to make the climb.
"You heard him, everyone to the door," Thirteen called out as he started to direct the class away from the villains.
"I'm afraid I cannot let you do that," Kurogiri said sadly. "We are the villain alliance and we have come here today to fill a purpose, to kill the Symbol of Piece, All Might." Kurogiri floated to pass his gaze over the group. "It would seem as though he is not here, did something change in the plans," he asked curiously.
While the villain was monologuing, Thirteen had flipped open one of his finger hatches and was preparing to suck the villain in when suddenly two of the students jumped forward to try and assault Kurogiri.
"Dammit," Thirteen hissed as he realized he missed his chance.
"Hah, bet you didn't think we'd take you out first," Kirishima taunted.
"Boys, move," Thirteen shouted as he realized that the villain was not defeated.
"It's too late, you will be scattered, you will be tortured, and you will be slain," Kurogiri declared as he quirk rapidly overtook the area.
It was slightly disorienting being teleported in such an unusual manner, that it took Gohan a second to get his bearings but in that moment he crashed into the cold water of the lake. Looking around he could see some of the villains rapidly approaching him, their aquatic mutations easily allowing them freedom of movement in the water. Prepared to let them get close so he could finish them off quickly. Gohan was surprised when a pair of legs planted themselves on the nearest villain and he was tugged by a thick rope like object.
"Kero, that was dangerous," Tsuyu said as she quickly got herself and Gohan on the boat.
"Asui," Gohan questioned as he saw who had dragged him out of the water.
"Call me Tsuyu and we are in a bit of a pickle," Tsuyu said as she wrung the water out of her hair.
"Yeah we are," Mineta said fearfully. "Those are bad guys and they want to kill us."
"No, they want to kill All Might, we're just collateral," Gohan disagreed.
"But he's unbeatable, he's the number 2," Mineta said.
"True, but they wouldn't be here if they didn't think they had a chance," Gohan said as he looked out across the field. "We've all been scattered across the building," he said as he felt the ki of his classmates in all the different zones.
"How can you tell, kero," Tsuyu asked but saw that her classmate wasn't paying attention to her and instead had moved to the railing.
Gohan firmly looked down at the villains in the water. "Hey, if you don't want to get seriously hurt, you should leave now," he said.
"What are you doing Midoriya?!" Mineta screeched as he watched Gohan stand on the railing of the boat.
"I'm serious, once I get in the water, I'm going to beat you all up, so you better leave," Gohan warned.
"Kero, no Midoriya," Tsuyu shouted in shock. "They have water quirks, that's their element, you can't fight them there."
"Don't worry, I'll be right back," Gohan smiled as he jumped off the ledge into the water with a splash.
"Fresh meat," a villain roared.
"The idiot just jumped right in," another cheered as they all raced to get the first bite of the teen.
"I can't look," Mineta said as he covered his eyes.
"Can't look at what?" Gohan asked as he landed on the railing again, completely unscathed.
Tsuyu ran to look over the railing and saw all the villains floating in the water unconscious. "How did you?"
"Easy, they were pretty weak, we should probably go though," Gohan said as he pointed his thumb towards the stairs where they came in.
"How are we going to get across," Mineta shouted as he looked across the lake, even without the villains there, it was still a long swim to get to the edge.
Rolling his eyes, Gohan grabbed Mineta and Tsuyu by the scruff of their costume and flew across the water. "Okay, now you two get on back to Thirteen," Gohan said as he saw the mass of villains in the center battling with Aizawa.
"Did you just fly?" Tsuyu asked.
"Questions later, action now," Gohan said firmly. "I'm going to check in with Aizawa and see what he needs. Now go," he pointed at the stairs ordering his classmates to leave.
Tsuyu nodded and dragged Mineta with her, mentally swearing to find out what was going on with Midoriya after all of this was over.
"Sir," Gohan said as he appeared next to Aizawa, smashing his fists into two villains who were rushing him from behind, sending them rocketing back unconscious. "That mist guy has a quirk that sent everyone around the building, I got Tsuyu and Mineta out of the lake zone and all the villains there have been subdued, what do you want me to do next?" he asked as he danced around and took out a couple more bad guys for his teacher.
"Tch," Aizawa groaned as he realized that the original plan had fallen apart. "Well can you tell where the rest of your classmates are," he asked while wrapping a villain in his scarf and flinging him into a few others.
"Yeah, but I'm not sure how fast I can get them all out," Gohan admitted.
"Excuse me," Shigiraki shouted as he grabbed Aizawa's elbow. His quirk activating quickly to start breaking down his flesh and bone. "Are we boring you?" he demanded to know after getting frustrated watching the hero and student have a conversation while fighting.
"Dammit," Aizawa shouted in pain as he kicked the villain away from him, sending the lanky man sprawling. The pro-hero stumbled back clutching his arm as he realized how this person's quirk worked.
"Sir," Gohan shouted as he got between Shigaraki and his teacher.
"I figured out that your quirk wasn't useful for long periods of time and chose the optimal time to attack, after we take out you, the kid dies, then the rest of them," Shigaraki taunted as he picked himself up off the ground. "All you heroes are so cool though, jumping into the battle to keep your students safe, buying them time to leave, not that it did anything. But hero, there's one last trick you should know about, I'm not the special type here."
Aizawa looked behind him as he felt a looming presence and saw the large hand of the black skinned creature coming towards him, it didn't take him much to realize that what was going to happen next would hurt a lot.
Gohan was watching it in slow motion, he saw the monster reaching towards a good person, just like Cell did to Sixteen. He could see the fear in his teacher's eyes as he knew he had been caught. Gohan could hear a voice in his head at the same time. "If I was needed to, to help others," Eighteen said as she leaned back and gave her advice to Gohan. "I'd throw it all away if it meant helping people."
"Gyaaaaaah," Gohan screamed as he rocketed his power up. For a moment the world seemed to stop as the air and ground tried to handle the energy flowing through the teen. Large spiky golden hair, the smell of ionizing air as electricity crackled around his skin. "Get away from him," Gohan roared as he flung himself into the Nomu, one solid backhanded fist to the massive creature's chest and the top half of its body exploded into a shower of guts.
"Holy crap," Aizawa huffed as he felt it hard to simply breathe standing next to Gohan, due to the immense pressure his ki was giving off.
"Sir, go get the other students," Gohan coldly told him. "I'm ending this now," he said as he laid his pinpoint eyes on Shigaraki.
"What the hell," Shigaraki shouted in frustration. "How did you do that? Are you cheating?"
"Call off your men, tell them to retreat or surrender, I'm done playing games," Gohan said as he walked towards the villain. Small rocks lifting off the ground and exploding into dust when struck by the crackling sparks emanating from Gohan's body.
"Tch, brat, do you have any idea how long we planned this," Shigaraki shouted. "How much time and resources went into this plan and how," he suddenly smirked. "Screwed you are?"
"What," Gohan said confusedly as he turned to see the Nomu rising off the ground, rapidly regenerating its lost body parts.
"See, even if you managed to land a lucky crit, he's immortal," Shigaraki cackled. "You can beat him all you want, and he'll just get back up."
"I'm familiar with the concept," Gohan snarled as he formed a ball of ki in his hands. "Haa," he shouted as he fired it into the Nomu, sending the beast sprawling as the energy burned it's flesh. "I'll just have to make sure there is nothing left," Gohan cracked his neck as he stalked towards the creature that was slowly getting off the ground again.
Kurogiri appeared next to Shigaraki who was busy watching Gohan decimate his newest toy. "We need to go, one of the students managed to get outside and is likely going for help."
"Useless," Shigaraki hissed as he rounded on his ally. "If you weren't so damn integral to Sensei's plans, I'd kill you right now, as it is," he looked back to see the Nomu struggling to even move as Gohan laid into it. "I think this plan is a bust, we weren't expecting something like this to happen."
"What in the hell," Kurogiri watched as Gohan floated off the ground.
"Masenko," he yelled down at the best.
"Haaaa!" he finished the chant as the beam shot towards the Nomu and eradicated it from the face of the Earth. Slamming hard into the ground in front of the pair, causing the ground to shake, Gohan glared at the two villains. "So, have you made your choice yet?"
"We're going to leave, Kurogiri," Shigaraki said as he stepped into the portal made by his cohort. "Until next time hero," Shigaraki cackled.
"Tch," Gohan scoffed as he powered down from his ascended state and looked up towards the main doors of the building where he heard some commotion. Moving quickly, he made it to the top of the stairs. "Oh All Might, it's you," Gohan said.
"Of course it's me, have no fear, I am here," All Might shouted loudly, his voice ringing throughout the field. "Why I was on my way after a completely normal meeting with the principal," he said as he had just gotten away from his boss who was tearing into him for being late. "When I ran into young Iida, and I rushed over, as quick as I could, now, what can I do to help?"
Gohan sighed as he realized that the heroes were here to wrap up the situation.
"Man today was crazy," Kirishima cheered as the students rode the bus back to the campus. "We fought actual villains today," he said his excitement bleeding to the rest of the bus.
"Yeah, it was really cool," Uraraka chuckled. "It was also really scary, especially when the ground started to shake, I mean what are the odds that an earthquake would hit at the same time as a villain attack."
"I wasn't scared at all," Mineta said coolly. "I don't know what they had planned, but these villains were so weak we took them out." His words the opposite of how he had been panicking earlier.
"Alright brats," Aizawa said as he stood up at the front of the bus, his arm wrapped in bandages. "Now luckily there weren't any major injuries and you are all able to go home today. This was the real deal, you were all in actual danger and I want to commend you on making it through," he said calmly. "However, don't take this lightly, you are all too young and inexperienced to go making a habit of fighting villains."
Gohan was sitting in the back of the bus as he rested his eyes and contemplated on the day. "This is the first time I had to ascend since I fought Cell," his mind wandering to how he felt at the time. "I destroyed that creature, I enjoyed destroying that creature," he realized how the power of his ascended form affected him mentally. "Should I be worried about that or do I just need to learn control, dad warned me when he was going Super Saiyan on Namek that he was losing control, but Super Saiyan doesn't make me feel this way and I-" Gohan started to fret before he was pulled from his thoughts.
"Midoriya," Aizawa called out. "We're back at the campus, are you okay?" he asked concernedly as the bus started to clear out of students leaving only the two of them.
Gohan blinked before settling his gaze on his teacher. "Yeah, no I'm fine, just thinking about how I feel."
"Want to talk about it," Aizawa walked down the aisle and sat next to Gohan.
"It wasn't the first time I did that, ascending," Gohan said.
"That's what that's called?" Aizawa questioned.
"Yeah, I haven't had to do that since I fought Cell," Gohan admitted.
"That must be a bit disorienting," Aizawa reasoned as he watched his student's features shift.
Gohan closed his eyes trying to calm his mind. "It's, overwhelming," he said. "Just the amount of power running through you makes it hard to think and all I feel is rage."
"Sound awful."
"It was intoxicating," Gohan said. "I wanted to keep going, keep killing."
"That's not good," Aizawa slowly stated as he tried to think about how to approach this situation.
"I know, I think I'm just not used to being in that form," Gohan sighed.
"Well that's something we can help you with, it's what we are here for Gohan," Aizawa said as he rested his hand on Gohan's shoulder. "Let's go," he said as he rose from the seat. "Classes are over for today, so head on home and get some rest."
"I think I'll do that," Gohan followed his teacher off the bus. "See you next week?"
"Yeah," Aizawa smirked as he waved off his student.
Gohan was walking along the dirt path towards the front gate of the school after picking up his bag and changing out of his hero costume. He was prepared to fly off as soon as he found a deserted alley but as he passed through the archway he realized that someone had been waiting for him. "Yes Asui?"
"Call me Tsuyu," the frog girl said. "I think you know why I am here."
"You want to know what happened today?" Gohan guessed.
"Yeah," Tsuyu confirmed as she nodded her head.
Letting out a breath, Gohan looked around to see if anyone was nearby to watch, when he saw that anyone else walking along the sidewalk wouldn't be paying attention, he moved forward, gripping Tsuyu's arms before she could protest and shooting off into the sky.
Author's Notes: This story is surprisingly easy to write. Gohan fits in pretty well and continues a fish out of water story even surrounded by other super powered heroes because he's just so different.
Some Review Review, which I had been putting off for a while.
DragonDave45, I plan to adjust the Great Saiyaman outfit, since he'll reflect on how much of a hinderance a cape is underwater. As for bringing in the other Z-Fighters, they will all start to make more appearances as the story progresses.
TheMexicanAttker, I, like many watched that series and want to include the humor when it fits without trying to distract from the overall story and making it seem like I'm just copy pasting a lot of what TFS has done. So I think I got a good balance so far.
Kage-Kitsune9001, I really liked what I got to do with Vegeta, because Gohan is being more active I'm going to make everyone more active and I think Vegeta would be the first to get involved and what I do with him really reflects well on them both because ultimately, even though Goten and Trunks are Half-Saiyans, Gohan is the only other living Saiyan that gets it, understands combat and has been in it since Raditz, Vegeta and Gohan have respect for each other because of this and I think bringing it out is good.
BizarreCoyote, did I do better in these later chapters, I understood what you meant, rereading some of the earlier works, I realized that it just felt flat and there wasn't enough emotion in it to really convey DBZ style combat.
