Wow! I am SO happy with all the positive reception the last chapter got!

And here I thought that some people would be a bit agitated that there was no action last chapter but simply Team 7 providing exposition to Gohan's early memories! For that I wanna give a huge thanks to you guys! You guys are AMAZING! ^_^

But we will DEFINIELY be hitting the knitty gritty in this chapter so I hope you all enjoy this chapter! ESPECIALLY the ending! Now then, let's begin ^_^

P.S: I just wanna point out that the current Gohan in this fanfic in addition to the one in these memories is the Gohan voiced by Stephanie Nadonly rather than Colleen Clinkenbeard. While I enjoy Colleen's work as Gohan in Kai in addition to ESPECIALLY her work as Luffy from One Piece, I just find Nadolny to be better. Crufify me if ya wish! XD

P.S.S: I'm sorry for this chapter being late but at least I made a special chapter warning you all! XD


As the memory ended, Team Seven couldn't believe what they had seen.

"Wow, to think Gohan was so strong even as a toddler. But then again, he was a total badass as a baby." Naruto commented.

"Yeah, I can't wait to get to these other memories!" Sakura exclaimed in excitement.

"Speaking of which, where's the next memory anyways?" Sasuke asked.

As if granting Sasuke his request, the next memory came to light as Team Seven looked to see Gohan walking through the forest near his house.

"The woods again huh?" Sasuke asked as the trio watched as Gohan chased after a butterfly.

"I'm not gonna hurt you! I just wanna look!" Gohan excitedly chased after the butterfly before it landed on a tree.

"Oh c'mon! You want me to climb up there? Okay!" Gohan grinned as he tried jumping only to not even reach an inch above the tree due to being so short.

"You snooze you lose!" Naruto snickered.

"Moron." Sakura rolled her eyes at Naruto's comment.

Gohan moaned in disappointment.

"You sure there's not an elevator on this thing?" Gohan asked as he tried searching for an easier way to get up to the tree but to no avail as the butterfly fluttered away much to Gohan's disappointment.

Gohan started walking through the woods before hearing a fluttering sound from the bushes behind him.

"Uh…hello? Mister Butterfly?" Gohan asked before a wild saber tooth tiger appeared from the bushes!

"Tiger!?" Sakura exclaimed as she found them very unappealing.

Gohan crawled away as the animal licked it chops since it seemingly found its next meal.

"C'mon, Gohan! Do something!" Naruto pressured his friend.

"From what it looks like Gohan hasn't been training so he can't really do much." Sakura reminded the blonde as she could sympathize with the young half-saiyan as she was quite timid herself when she was his age. It was only thanks to Ino that she became more confident.

"I know but it's so weird seeing Gohan not being able to defend himself." Naruto said.

"Yeah…I have to wonder what changed Gohan from being this scared little kid to the confident warrior we know now." Sasuke wondered as he remembered how he and Itachi would chase after cats with Granny Cat when he was the age Gohan was here in these memories.

"I know, play dead!" Gohan thought before closing his eyes as the tiger walked up to Gohan before licking him, eliciting a giggle from the boy before making his way off.

But not without his hat….

Gohan woke up, thankful that he was in One Piece, before noticing a certain part of him was missing.

"Wha!? Oh no, my hat is gone!" Gohan exclaimed before breaking out into a fit of tears before suddenly running off after the tiger, leaving the members of Team Seven rather dumbfounded.

"….Talk about a quick change of heart…" Naruto muttered.

"Gohan always was a strange one." Sasuke sighed.

"MY HAT!" Gohan wailed chasing after the tiger as the tiger ran for its life.

"GIMME BACK MY HAT! YOU CAN'T HAVE IT!" Gohan shouted as he ran through bush after bush, tree after tree, rock after rock to catch the animal.

"Whoa! Look at Gohan go!" Naruto exclaimed with wide blank eyes.

"He really is something!" Sakura said before noticing they were coming to the end of a cliff.

"Look out you idiot!" Sasuke said as Gohan ran straight off the cliff not realizing until it was too late as he began falling.

"Gohan!" Sakura yelled.

"Wait, are we gonna fall too!?" Naruto asked before jumping into Sasuke's arms, Scooby Doo style.

"It's a memory so we won't be affected dumbass." Sasuke deadpanned before dropping Naruto on his ass.

"Jerkass…" Naruto muttered, rubbing his sore bottom as Team Seven walked down the air like it was a flight of stairs.

Much to Team Seven's disbelief, Gohan was saved by his monkey tail-like appendage.

"He has a tail!?" Naruto and Sakura yelled, surprised at what they saw as Sasuke deadpanned at the two.

"You two are that slow that you didn't even notice it until now?" Sasuke sighed. While Sasuke should've been more surprised, with all the things that are in the ninja world, he supposed this wouldn't be too out of the ordinary.

"Uh…" Sakura began.

"Yeah." Naruto sheepishly answered as Sasuke sighed at the two.

At this, Gohan was beginning to wake up. Soon Gohan began to wonder around the woods all by his lonesome self as he rubbed the tears from his eyes.

"Aww…this is so sad. Poor little guy…" Sakura frowned as she wished she could scoop the young boy in his arms and hug him but unfortunately this was only a memory and she could do nothing.

"Yeah…I know the feeling…" Naruto sighed, remembering how he once went into the woods for training before meeting the Third Hokage as a result.

Gohan soon smiled as he came across a small bird resting on a tree branch.

"Hey! You're a pretty bird!" Gohan smiled as he made his way across to where the bird was, careful not to tip over the branch.

"Do you have a name? I'm Gohan." Gohan smiled as the bird didn't seem to notice him before flying off.

"Huh? Hey wait!" Gohan protested before the branch fell off the small cliff it was on, as Gohan fell with it, being able to stay afloat only with the branch.

"Mommy! Daddy! Help me!" Gohan begged as it looked like he was severely close to drowning as Team Seven could only watch in horror.

"Gohan!" Sakura yelled as Naruto summoned three shadow clones that attempted to reach Gohan, only to pass right through him.

"Damn it!" Naruto cursed.

"Like before this is only a memory and we can't do anything." Sasuke clenched his fists, upset how he could do nothing….

Thankfully….

"Gohan!" The voice of Goku yelled, getting the attention of everyone.

"It's my dad!" Gohan happily gasped.

"Gohan! Don't worry, I'll be right there!" Goku said as he flew on his Flying Nimbus as he attempted to reach the four year old before coming across a ravine that Gohan unexpectedly entered as Goku was forced to go airborne.

"Daddy!" Gohan cried.

"Help…I…." Gohan could say no more before the edge of the water fall came as he slowly fell off the log.

"No! At that rate and distance, he'd drown and die on the spot!" Sasuke said as he was about to go in his pocket for ninja wire only to remember that he was practically useless here.

However much to the dismay of the Team, Gohan suddenly vanished before landing on a tree branch high above the water fall.

Gohan blinked before sniffling and wailing loudly.

"Help! I can't get down!" Gohan wailed as Team Seven were relieved to see their friend okay.

"Uh…I don't…know…what to say?" Sakura blinked.

"Well at least he's okay." Naruto sighed in relief.

"But just how did he manage to get control of himself later?" Sasuke pondered as Goku arrived on his Flying Nimbus before Gohan happily jumped in his father's arms.

"How…did…you….?" Goku wondered before looking at his son.

"Did you jump?" Goku asked before shrugging, relieved his son was alright.

"Daddy….I lost my hat." Gohan moaned before Goku dumped his hat on his son.

"What? Silly, no you didn't! Now c'mon, let's get you home and cleaned up so we can go and meet some of my old friends, how does that sound?" Goku suggested with a smile as Gohan happily nodded.

Soon Team Seven watched as Gohan happily returned home with Goku before the two ate and cleaned up before they made their way to where Goku's friends were, courtesy of the Flying Nimbus.

"Man I wanna ride that cloud!" Naruto exclaimed.

"I highly doubt you could." Sakura said.

"What makes you say that?" Naruto asked as Sasuke shrugged.

"Call it a hunch." Sasuke answered before the Team noticed a small Pink House with the name "Kame House" on it come up in the distance.

"Alright, here's we are!" Goku smiled before the cloud came down on the island as Goku and Gohan got off the cloud and made their way inside.

"Thanks Nimbus!" Goku thanked the puffy yellow cloud before making his way to the house.

"Hello? Anybody inside?" Goku asked as the Team noticed three people come outside. One was Krillin from the last memory, the other was a woman with blue hair and the last was an elderly man with sunglasses.

"Goku!" The woman smiled.

"Hi!" Goku greeted. It was then the three noticed Gohan in Goku's arms.

"So who's the kid?" The woman asked.

"Yeah, you trying to make some extra money babysitting or something?" Krillin asked.

"He's my son." Goku smiled, looking at his son as the three looked lost for words.

"Your son?" Krillin asked.

"Oh Goku, he's adorable!" Bulma swooened.

"Say Hi, Gohan." Goku said.

"Hello, everyone." Gohan shyly bowed as everyone did the same.

"Gohan, this is Master Roshi, Krillin and Bulma." Goku introduced his friends to Gohan who smiled at them as Bulma kneeled down to his height.

"And how old are you, Gohan?" Bulma smiled.

"I'm four ma'am!" Gohan answered.

"They grow up so fast." Naruto laughed.

"And what do you want to be when you grow up? A fighter like your dad?" Bulma asked.

"I wanna be a great scholar!" Gohan answered as Sasuke snorted.

"And look how that went down." Sasuke snorted.

Soon the Team watched as Gohan played with Turtle, a site they found to be completely adorable before Goku's features suddenly hardened.

"What the!?" Goku asked as his friends looked to him in surprise.

"What's wrong Goku?" Krillin asked.

"Up there! Who is that?" Goku asked.

"It's not Piccolo is it?" Krillin asked as the new visitor touched down on the small island.

The new visitor had long spiky hair and had bizarre brownish armor with a bizarre green piece of glass on his eye.

"Uh….who the hell is this weirdo?" Sakura asked, taken aback with his bizarre appearance.

"You got me." Replied a very confused Naruto as the new comer smiled at Goku.

"Well I must say it's been a while but you certainly look like your father." The man said as Goku raised an eyebrow, obviously not knowing who this newcomer was.

"Kakarot, what the hell have you been doing all of these years!?" The man glared as he pointed at Goku.

Goku looked to his friends in confusion who looked just as lost as he was as Gohan ran behind his father's leg.

"Kakarot? That sounds like carrots." Naruto muttered.

"Look dude, I dunno if you're drunk or not but why don't I show you off the is-"Krillin tried to reason before he was suddenly smacked into Kame House!

"Krillin!" Goku, Naruto and Sakura all yelled.

"Just what the hell!?" Sasuke tried to say before everyone noticed the tail swinging from the man's lower region.

"Well, now do you remember me?" The man asked as Goku glared at the newcomer.

"Like I said I don't know who you are!" Goku tried arguing before the man gasped in realization.

"Kakarot, your tail!? What happened to it!?" The man demanded.

"Uh…excuse me?" Goku asked.

"Answer me! Now!" The man yelled.

"It was cut off a long time ago!" Goku answered.

"You fool…..well one last question, did you ever hit your head when you were young?" The man asked.

"Yeah. A long time ago." Goku replied as the man growled before regaining his composure.

"I see. Well allow me to refresh your memory! I am Raditz, your older brother! And you are a Saiyan of the Planet Vegeta like me!" Raditz announced as everyone couldn't believe what they heard.

"Wait, he said Saiyan of Planet Vegeta?" Naruto asked.

"So that means Gohan and Goku are like…." Sakura tried to theorize.

"Yeah….Aliens…" Sasuke narrowed his eyes as Raditz continued.

Although that felt very weird to the leaf genin.

"And he's his older brother? He looks nothing like Goku or Gohan!" Naruto said as Sakura shrugged.

"Genetics I guess." Sakura answered.

"Wait, what are saiyans?" Bulma asked as Raditz snickered.

"You see we Saiyans are like planet brokers. We go to planets with high prices and scour them of any life on it while with planets such as these where the inhabitants are weak, we send one of our babies." Raditz explained as everyone felt equal amounts of disgust at what they heard.

"They sound like complete bastards! They're space pirates!" Naruto growled in disgust as Sakura felt tears come to her eyes. How could any adult be so cruel as to cast off an innocent baby?

"Although if you hadn't lost your tail this planet would've been done away with within a year or two at most." Raditz sighed as Goku scowled at his "brother".

"Look I don't care what you say I am! I'm Goku and this is my home! Now leave us alone!" Goku yelled as his friends offered similar words of agreement.

Raditz merely chuckled.

"Well sorry baby brother but I just can't do that. You see there aren't too many of us left. Although if you aren't willing to go, how about I take your son? Think of it as fellow uncle and nephew catch up bonding?" Raditz snickered as Team Seven growled at him.

"You leave him alone!" Naruto yelled as he summoned two shadow clones to attack and pummel Raditz only to faze right through him.

"Damn it!" Naruto cursed as Goku glared at him.

"No you don't!" Goku said as he tried to attack Raditz but was sent away flying easily.

"GOKU!" All of Team Seven yelled as they looked to see Goku in the sand, holding his stomach in agony as none were more horrified than Gohan.

"Daddy!" Gohan yelled as he tried running to his dad's side before he was roughly picked up.

"Gohan!" Sakura yelled as she tried running to him only to pass through him.

"Now as I was trying to say, I'll be taking your son with me, brother. Although if you want to see him again, rack up a hundred people on this beach by tomorrow. If not well…let's just say it'll be lights out for your brat." Raditz grinned as Sasuke activated his Sharingan.

"Fire!" Sasuke was about to use before realizing this was a memory.

"Remember! Tomorrow Kakarot!" Raditz laughed before taking Gohan and soaring through the sky.

"That bastard!" Naruto yelled before the scene suddenly changed to the middle of a field.

"Where's Gohan?" Sakura asked as she looked to see Gohan hiding behind a truck.

"Big meanie…I hate him!" Gohan sniffled as Team 7 nodded in agreement.

"You and me both." Sasuke said.

"I still wonder how such a bastard can be related to Gohan!" Naruto demanded before everyone looked to see Raditz casually lift the truck with his hand, not looking the slightest bit pleased.

Gohan then sobbed as Raditz harshly picked him up by the back of his collar.

"Will you shut up brat!?" Raditz demanded as Gohan ignored him.

"Okay fine. You can sit in there until you shut up!" Raditz yelled before throwing Gohan in his space pod.

"Asshole!" Sakura growled.

"Yeah, don't throw Gohan like he's a pair of meat!" Naruto growled as Sasuke seriously considering going for one of his kunais as Gohan was defenseless, cramped in this space.

The Team continued to watch their friend cry before the sound of Goku screaming was heard.

"Is that Goku!?" Naruto asked as they could hear his sounds of agony through the confine of where Gohan was cramped.

"What's that bastard doing to him!?" Sakura asked as Gohan wiped his eyes as Sasuke could see something building with Gohan.

He couldn't just sit here while his daddy was suffering! NO!

Before any of Team Seven knew it, Gohan busted right through Raditz's space pod before touching down.

"It's you!?" Raditz exclaimed as the Team looked to see a beaten Goku under Raditz's foot as Piccolo was lacking an arm.

"Goku!" Naruto yelled as he ran to the jovial man as Sakura cringed at Piccolo's arm stump.

"What happened to them?" Sasuke asked as Piccolo pointed out how Gohan was standing there.

"G-Gohan! Daddy can't get up right now. Run away!" Goku ordered as Gohan continued sniffling before a sudden red aura enveloped the toddler.

"What the!?" Sasuke exclaimed as the aura only got bigger.

"Leave…my dad….ALONE!" Gohan yelled before lunging himself right at Raditz and headbutted him dead in the chest.

"Is that Raditz guy still alive!?" Naruto asked.

"If he is, it's a miracle!" Sakura said before Gohan suddenly landed on the ground.

He rubbed his sore head before noticing his dad was on the ground.

"Daddy?" Gohan teared up as Goku looked lost for words before screaming out "No!"

Gohan and Team Seven looked to see Raditz looming over him like a snake would be to a rat.

"Stay away!" Goku yelled as Raditz ignored him.

"Hey brat, what happened to all that power you had?" Raditz growled as Gohan nearly fell on himself.

"W-what power?" Gohan stammered.

"Again!?" Naruto exclaimed, remembering the fight against Garlic Jr.

"Oh I'll SHOW you what power!" Raditz yelled before slamming his fist into Gohan's head, knocking him out, blacking out the memory entirely.

"THAT BASTARD!" Naruto shouted at the void.

"How could anyone be so heartless as to hurt their own family!?" Sakura practically sobbed as Sasuke was silent.

Soon the memory came back with Gohan suddenly being submerged in water.

"Get up kid, it's time to begin your training." The rough voice of Piccolo commanded as Gohan looked to see Piccolo looking down on him.

"So this is Piccolo?" Naruto asked, as he was suddenly reminded of how grumpy Hiruzen could be.

"Talk about a blunt way to start your training." Sasuke shook his head as Gohan looked at Gohan in disbelief.

"Huh? Who are you? Where's my daddy?" Gohan asked as he tried searching for his daddy to no avail.

"Wait, where is Goku!?" Naruto asked as he suddenly had a bad idea of what happened while Gohan was out.

"It may be possible that…." Sasuke dismally said as Naruto immediately realized what Sasuke was getting at.

"No way! Goku can't be…gone!" Naruto felt himself choke up as Gohan began wailing for Goku to come save him.

"Gohan…." Sakura frowned, wanting to comfort the four year old as he continued crying.

"That's enough! More crying and I'll give you something to cry about!" Piccolo yelled as Gohan's crying turned to small sniffles.

"Asshole! Don't talk to him like that!" Sakura yelled at Piccolo as Gohan wiped his eyes.

"Good. Now about your father, he's dead." Piccolo bluntly said as Team Seven all winced at the impersonal way Gohan learned about his father's death.

"Damn it! That bastard really killed him!" Naruto yelled as he punched the air.

"Sasuke…." Naruto muttered sadly as Gohan sniffled.

"D-daddy…." Gohan teared up as Sasuke's heart went out to Gohan. Children that young shouldn't lose their parents.

"Don't you dare cry! I won't ask you again!" Piccolo threatened as Gohan wiped his eyes.

"Now I'm sure you know about the Dragon Balls. Your friends will most likely definitely use them to bring Goku back to life." Piccolo explained.

"Like I thought." Sasuke nodded.

"However there will be two more even powerful Saiyans than the one you met today coming in one year's time. And that's where you come in." Piccolo said as Gohan stared at the Namekian in amazement.

"What do you mean? How?" Gohan asked as Piccolo grinned before grabbing Gohan's skull.

"What're you doing!?" Gohan demanded, kicking and screaming before Piccolo threw him to the huge rock before them, much to Team Seven's bewilderment.

"Is he insane!?" Naruto and Sakura yelled as Gohan cried before Gohan's expression turned serious as a mysterious aura enveloped the toddler before he destroyed the rock, leaving nothing behind.

"No….freaking…." Sakura's mouth gaped.

"Way…" Sasuke finished as Gohan once again had idea what happened as he stared in amazement.

"Now do you see? Your hidden power will be a valuable asset in helping defend this planet." Piccolo explained as Gohan meekly groaned.

"But I don't want to be a fighter…I wanna be a scholar…." Gohan whined.

"Enough whining! Your training starts now so take off your tunic!" Piccolo snapped having enough of Gohan's pessimism.

"Wow, good coach." Naruto rolled his eyes as Gohan did just that.

The Team then watched as Piccolo gave Gohan the ultimatum of a lifetime, if he can survive in the wild for six months, he would train the half-saiyan.

The catch? He would receive no aid from Piccolo and was basically on his own.

With all of this, Piccolo left, ignoring Gohan's cries.

Team Seven followed as Gohan tried to make the best of his situation before….

"A DINOSAUR!" Gohan yelled before he was suddenly chased by a huge dinosaur.

Team Seven watched the scene with feelings of a combination of humor and horror.

Thankfully Gohan was miraculously saved at the last second before vanishing away before the T-Rex could devour him.

Although this ended with Gohan ending up on a cliff several feet up to where Gohan would splat like humpty dumpty if he fell to the ground.

"You know….I can't even be surprised anymore…" Sakura sighed.

"Yeah…." Sasuke and Naruto agreed.

Soon over a day passed as Team Seven watched as Gohan held his empty stomach as it growled before he noticed a bright light above.

"Whoa! Look at how big the moon is!" Naruto marveled as Sasuke and Sakura deadpanned.

"Of course it is. It's the moon." Sasuke deadpanned as Naruto glared at Sasuke.

"Listen you!" Naruto glared as Gohan marveled at the size of the moon.

"Whoa! Look at the moon! Look how big it i-"Gohan observed before he suddenly stopped much to the amazement of the Team.

"Gohan?" Naruto asked.

"What's wrong?" Sakura asked before the three noticed as Gohan's eyes suddenly turned red.

"That….doesn't look good." Sasuke asked before the three became amazed as Gohan's muscles expanded before he was suddenly covered in fur as his tail became more pronounced before he suddenly grew several, several feet taller.

Yes, the change was instant. Gohan had become a great ape.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" Naruto and Sakura screamed in fear as Sasuke could barely speak as he couldn't believe what he had seen.

If that wasn't bizarre, Gohan fell off the cliff he was on before lunging and destroying everything as he fired several beams from his mouth.

"Holy shit!" Sakura yelled.

"Gohan!?" Naruto asked as he couldn't believe this great ape monster was his friend.

Thankfully before Gohan could do more damage, even destroy the world, the team barely managed to see Piccolo before he flew to where Gohan's tail was and he cut it off, thankfully returning Gohan to normal before he lost consciousness.

The team barely managed to use a beam on Gohan, giving him the same GI the team saw his father wear.

"Well…that…was intense…." Sasuke muttered.

"And…from what it looks like it looked like his tail can cause him to transform into an ape." Sakura observed.

"I wonder what would happen if Gohan could combine Super Saiyan with his Great Ape transformation?" Naruto asked as Sasuke and Sakura couldn't help but share the same thoughts.

"It'd be so broken!" Sakura exclaimed.

"However let's just be thankful Gohan doesn't have his tail anymore." Sauske said as the memory slowly came back.

The Team then watched as Gohan learned to survive in the woods, even befriending a robot and a dinosaur as he was gaining more confidence. Team Seven was happy to see Gohan turning into the Gohan they all knew.

They were horrified to how Gohan nearly drowned as he tried returning home to see his mother again but were thankful on how he was saved by a bunch of orphans. Although he unfortunately had to leave them before he was found by Piccolo. After which, the two continued their training with Piccolo slowly warming to Gohan before the two slowly formed a bond of student and teacher.

Soon the team watched as they trained in a nearby field.

"Attack!" Piccolo ordered as Gohan charged at Piccolo before he was suddenly electrocuted by Piccolo's eye beam.

"Gohan!" Naruto and Sakura yelled in concern as the team watched as Gohan fell to the ground, burnt like a crisp.

"Mr. Piccolo…you promised no eye beams…" Gohan pouted as Piccolo scowled at the five year old.

"And what if I did!? Never trust what your enemy has to say!" Piccolo scolded Gohan who gave him an innocent expression.

"Yeah but….you're not the enemy." Gohan innocently argued as Team Seven smiled at the younger version of their friend.

"Hehe, even as a toddler Gohan was such a softy." Sakura smiled.

"Heh, that guy." Sasuke smiled.

Soon the months passed before the day of the Saiyans arrived with Gohan wearing a white headband along with the same GI they were so used to seeing.

"Gohan, the day is here. Are you ready?" Piccolo asked his student who nodded fervently.

"Yes sir!" Gohan said with excitement.

However Team Seven looks up to see Krillin touch down as he and Gohan happily catch up with Krillin wondering how Gohan was still sane but Gohan revealed that Piccolo was actually a very benevolent person to be with.

Though things weren't all peaceful.

"Both of you! They're here!" Piccolo told the two small warriors before everyone looked up to see two men. One was a large brute like male wearing black and brown armor with a very smaller man with flame, black like hair wearing white and yellow armor with a blue bodysuit underneath.

"Those're the saiyans!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Ya think?" Sasuke rolled his eyes as Vegeta and Nappa touched down.

"So I take it you two are the Saiyans?" Piccolo asked, not even bothering to be subtle with his irritation of the two men in front of him.

"Hehe, that's right. And we were here for these 'Dragon Balls'. But to think we'd find a Namekian here is even more bizarre." Vegeta mused as everyone stared at Piccolo in confusion.

"Namekian?" Naruto and Sakura asked.

"Must be the planet where Piccolo's from." Sasuke theorized as Piccolo and the others in the memory were confused before he smirked.

"Heh, well thanks for the history lesson of me and my people. But we're not here to talk, we're here to fight!" Piccolo smirked before taking a fighting stance, "So go ahead and do what you came here to do!"

Vegeta smirked as Nappa took their power levels.

"You fools! Do you honestly think you can beat us with those weak power levels?" Nappa grinned as Vegeta shook his head.

"It's obvious they're hiding their power levels. Don't you remember that's how that useless piece of shit, Raditz, was taken out?" Vegeta chided his comrade as Nappa chortled.

"Right. But Green Man, you're not just gonna give us these Dragon Balls?" Nappa laughed as he knew what Piccolo's answer was.

"No way in hell." Piccolo scowled as the Saiyans shook their heads in mock pity.

"A shame. Nappa, prepare the Saibamen." Vegeta said before the team looked to see Nappa plant and summon several different small green amphibian like monsters.

"Gross!" Sakura groaned.

"They're definitely creepy!" Naruto agreed.

"Let's play a game with this. Our saibamen against these fools!" Vegeta smirked.

"Heh, sounds like a plan!" Nappa grinned.

"Heh, looks like the battle is starting." Sasuke smirked as the Team looked to see Yamcha, Tien and Chiaotzu touch down as well.

"Whoa, who's the little clown brat?" Naruto asked.

"That scar guy looks like a total scrub." Sasuke scoffed.

"And does that guy really have three eyes!?" Sakura cringed.

The battle soon started as sadly…..Yamcha was a casualty of the Saibamen as a result of letting his guard down. However, Krillin was able to soundly avenge the death of his friend.

Though…this led Nappa getting into the fray and as a result Tien and Chiaotzu were killed with Krillin and Piccolo barely being able to keep up with Nappa.

"Man this is bad! Three of them are out!" Naruto exclaimed in fear.

"Wait, where's Gohan?" Sakura asked as the Team looked to see Gohan standing by looking like he was about to wet himself.

"Gohan! What's wrong!?" Naruto asked as Sasuke narrowed his eyes.

"He's afraid…he honestly shouldn't be here…" Sasuke said as Piccolo was able to get a surprise hit on Nappa before sending Nappa right to Gohan.

"Attack Gohan! Attack!" Piccolo said as Gohan could only stare with eyes wide and mouths agape as the Team saw flashes of Tien's, Yamcha's and Chiaotzu's deaths before he ran off.

"Damn it!" Piccolo cheered as Krillin and Piccolo were able to hold Nappa off until Vegeta suddenly gave the team a three hour reprieve.

Why? In order to see if Goku was really as strong from his otherworld training as the others seem to believe.

"Honestly Gohan, all that training and you just cowered?" Piccolo asked not even bothering to hide the disappointment he had with his apprentice.

"Piccolo don't be too hard on him, he's only five." Krillin said as Piccolo turned away from Gohan.

"Honestly, if you're not going to fight, you might as well just go home to your mother!" Piccolo said sternly as Gohan couldn't argue as he started walking off.

Team Seven glared at Piccolo.

"What a dick!" Naruto growled.

"Yeah, he's just a kid!" Sakura added before a blast cut Gohan off from walking.

"Hey, don't get too scared kid! Your death's coming soon enough!" Nappa laughed as Gohan muttered something under his breath.

"Does this guy ever shut up?" Sasuke asked in annoyance.

"Huh? What was that?" Nappa snorted as Gohan growled.

"I SAID YOUR BATH SHOULD BE COMING TOO SINCE YOU SMELL!" Gohan yelled as Team 7 all snickered at Nappa and even Vegeta was laughing as well.

"Nice one Gohan!" Naruto laughed.

However….soon the three hours were up with Goku not coming….and if that wasn't bad enough….

"Nappa! That's enough! You can kill all of them now!" Vegeta announced much to the shock of everyone present.

"What!?" All of Team 7 demanded as Vegeta smirked.

"We don't need this Namekian anymore. We can just go to Planet Namek and use the Dragon Balls on their planet." Vegeta said as Nappa grinned.

"Heh, okay. Who'll be first?" Nappa asked as Krillin lunged at Nappa with a kick before even using a Destructo Disk, much to Naruto's amazement as he threw it and nearly killed him with it was it not for a warning from Nappa.

"Damn! So close!" Sakura cursed.

"How dare you cut my beautiful face!?" Nappa demanded as he charged Ki in his hand.

"Beautiful?" Sasuke snickered before he threw a Ki blast at Krillin, crippling him before making his way to Gohan where he knocked him to the side of a cliff.

However Gohan was able to kick Nappa in the face, sending him into a nearby boulder.

Coming up bloodied, Nappa growled.

"You little brat! I'm going to kill you!" Nappa yelled before throwing his Bomber DX at Gohan before he could even do anything.

"GOHAN!" Naruto and Sakura yelled as they tried to push Gohan out of their way but to no avail as they only passed through him.

Much to everyone's amazement Piccolo actually jumped in front of Gohan as he took the brunt of the attack.

"Piccolo!" Sasuke said as Piccolo screamed in agony before the attack died down.

Piccolo was covered in purple blood as his GI was in tatters before he fell to the ground.

"Oh no!" Naruto covered his mouth as the team looked over to see Piccolo's condition.

"He…won't make it…" Sakura screwed her eyes as tears started to fall.

But none were more heartbroken than Gohan.

"W…why would you….save me!?" Gohan practically demanded as Piccolo smiled despite the pain he was in.

"To think…the once evil demon king Piccolo….would protect some kid….how sad…heh….Gohan….thank you….for being…my first friend…." Piccolo muttered before his eyes closed…signifying that he had indeed died.

"Piccolo….that guy…" Naruto teared up as Sakura cried in her hand.

Although Sasuke's expression was stoic he genuinely felt for the half-saiyan.

Gohan soon screamed in rage before he gave a death glare to Nappa.

"MASENKO!" Gohan yelled as he cupped his hands together as he tried firing the beam at Nappa in an attempt to avenge his master.

But…it was all in vain before Gohan fell to his knees.

"Haha, don't worry! I'll give you a nice space under my boot!" Nappa smirked.

"STAY AWAY FROM HIM!" Naruto yelled.

Thankfully before Nappa could crush Gohan's skull, Goku swooped in and saved Gohan, via his Nimbus Cloud.

"Goku!" Naruto and Sakura happily exclaimed as Team 7 noticed how Goku looked slightly more muscular than he did before with a different symbol on the back of his GI.

Goku soon gave Senzu Beans to Gohan and Krillin, restoring their power before Goku gave Nappa his just desserts, much to the happiness of Team 7.

However, Vegeta soon disposed of Nappa for his uselessness, much to the dismay of Team 7.

"What the!?" Naruto exclaimed.

"He just killed his own comrade!" Sakura yelled.

Team 7 may have hated Nappa for his actions but to think someone who was his comrade could have just killed him so easily?

"This Vegeta guy…." Sasuke glared at Vegeta.

Goku, after saving Gohan and Krillin, stared at Vegeta before deciding he would deal with Vegeta.

"But Goku! That's just crazy! You saw what he did!" Krillin said.

"Yeah but with my training I should be able to handle him!" Goku smirked.

"Daddy…." Gohan teared up as Goku pat his head.

"Son, tell you what. After this, we'll go fishing like old times. How's that sound?" Goku smiled as Gohan teared up before smiling.

"Okay!" Gohan gave a teary smile.

"Good luck Goku." Krillin warned his best friend before he flew off with the evil Saiyan Prince.

After staring in at where Goku flew off, Gohan and Krillin soon flew to Kame House before deciding to go to where Goku was, as Gohan felt something was wrong.

As the two made their way to where Goku was, Team Seven were horrified at what they saw.

"Goku!" Naruto yelled as they all saw Goku practically being crushed to death by Vegeta who was now a great ape.

"Let him go!" Sakura yelled as she tried throwing a Kunai at Vegeta's tail only for it to pass through.

"Well, if it isn't Kakarot's son? Did you come to say goodbye to your father sonny?" Vegeta smirked as Gohan glared.

"Let him go!" Gohan yelled as he got into a fighting stance. However, Vegeta soon shrunk down to his normal tiny height, thanks to Yajirobe.

Vegeta, not taking this too well, attacked Krillin, Gohan and Goku, but in order to protect those he had left, Gohan challenged Vegeta and tried attacking Vegeta as Goku revealed his trump card to defeat Vegeta; the Spirit Bomb.

However…

"Damn it! No matter what Gohan comes up with, he can't get that bastard Vegeta!" Naruto growled as Vegeta slowly walked to Gohan who was laying bloodied and battered.

"Hehe so much potential yet it still isn't enough." Vegeta laughed as he was all but ready to end this fight.

However…

"GET DOWN!" Krillin yelled as he threw the volley ball sized spirit bomb.

"What's that!?" Sakura asked.

"It looks powerful!" Sasuke exclaimed.

Much to the team's amazement, Vegeta actually dodged the Spirit Bomb.

"Gohan! If you're pure of heart, the Spirit Bomb won't hurt you. Since you're pure of heart, just throw it back!" Goku told his son via telepathy.

Without much argument, Gohan did just that before he knocked it back, sending Vegeta flying high into the sky before he landed straight down on the ground.

Though…everyone was quick to assume he was dead.

"At least the world won't have to look at his ugly face." Krillin said before Naruto chortled.

"Burn!" Sakura giggled before Vegeta's one eye opened.

"Who's face is ugly!?" Vegeta demanded as he struggled back to his feet.

"What's it take to kill this guy!?" Sakura asked in annoyance as he sent everyone flying with a very powerful exploding attack.

However much to everyone's bewilderment, Gohan's tail suddenly grew back!

Vegeta, noticing this tried to kill Gohan but however….Gohan's transformation began again and the change was instant.

"This is the last thing they needed!" Sasuke growled as Great Ape Gohan went on a rampage, but with the encouragement from his father he was able to regain some semblance of sanity as he was actually able to get some hits on Vegeta before the Saiyan prince was able to cut his tail but not without Gohan practically falling on Vegeta, ending the memory.


"Well….that was one interesting memory…" Sasuke muttered as the other members of Team Seven couldn't even put into words at what they saw.

"Wow…to think that scary Great Ape transformation was what defeated that Vegeta guy." Naruto said as Sakura frowned.

"But poor Gohan…he lost so many of his friends that day…." Sakura looked down as Sasuke crossed his arms.

"I'm…thinking this Namek place Vegeta mentioned was how they might get revived." Sasuke said.

"You think?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah I think that sounds probable." Sakura said before the next memory came.

Team Seven looked to see Goku, Krillin and Gohan being taken to the hospital.

Although the atmosphere was very sad due to nearly every Z-Fighter being killed, Krillin was able to instill hope in everyone in the fact of Namek also having Dragon Balls to use. With their hopes revived, Planet Namek was their next destination.

After everyone was healed up, Gohan, Krillin and Bulma made their way to Namek with Goku staying behind due to his injuries before way more serious.

After a small detour with a fake Planet Namek, the group finally made their way to the real Planet Namek.

"Whoa! Look at how beautiful this planet is!" Sakura gushed.

"Yeah! The skies are green and look at all those moons!" Naruto exclaimed with wide eyes as Sasuke silently took in the scenery as Gohan, Krillin and Bulma also did much.

However all wasn't peaceful with the Saiyan space ship of Vegeta raining down from the skies.

And if that wasn't bad enough, the threat of the intergalactic tyrant Frieza loomed in the air as Team Seven could only watch in horror as the memory shifted as Frieza, along with his henchmen Zarbon and Dodoria, tormented a village.

"My god….this is so cruel…." Sakura teared up at the ruthless carnage.

"And those are kids that bastard is attacking!" Naruto growled in rage.

Sasuke only silently stared as he was internally pissed. It was way too similar too similar to the Uchiha Clan Massacre.

Thankfully, Gohan was the one to speak out as he attacked and even got in a hit on Dodoria.

"STOP IT!" Gohan yelled as he kicked Dodoria into a nearby Namekian house, saving the life of a certain Namekian child who looked to be around his age.

"Thank you!" Naruto thanked, wishing he could've been the one to have kicked that bastard's face in.

With Krillin serving as a distraction, Krillin and Gohan were able to get away with the Namekian child they saved in tow. The Namekian Child's name was revealed to be Dende.

With a new friend, Gohan was soon introduced to the ancient Namek Guru who awakened Gohan's hidden powers. In exchange for Gohan's heroic attitude, he and Krillin were granted the Namekian Dragon Ball so it wouldn't fall into Frieza's evil hands.

Unfortunately Gohan and Krillin soon found themselves having to deal with Vegeta before the hideous Ginyu Force was called.

"Oh great, more clowns!" Naruto growled in frustration as Ginyu was able to take the Dragon Balls without anyone noticing.

"I'll take these Dragon Balls to Frieza. The rest of you stay and play with our new friends." Ginyu smirked before flying off.

"That bastard!" Sakura growled as Guldo first stepped up to deal with Gohan and Krillin.

Though they were able to narrowly score a win with Guldo, Recoome was even more of a problem than Nappa was.

He was able to defeat Krillin easily and even with the increased power Vegeta had gained that was nowhere near enough.

"Oh no! Now Gohan's left all alone!" Sakura gasped in horror.

"If Vegeta can't do it, Gohan doesn't have a hope in hell in winning." Sasuke grit his teeth.

"Sasuke!" Naruto yelled.

"It's the truth!" Sasuke sharply said as the Team helplessly watched as poor little Gohan put everything he had but in the end it wasn't enough as his neck ended up getting broken as a result of his effort, blackening out the memory as Team Seven were speechless as they stared into the void.

"He…..he…" Naruto stammered.

"I don't understand how that didn't kill him…." Sakura muttered.

"Goku most likely saved him…" Sasuke thought before the memory suddenly became vivid again as Goku held his son who looked okay, despite the blood on his face.

"D-dad! You're here!" Gohan exclaimed as Goku wiped his son off.

"Of course. Now why don't you leave all of this to me?" Goku winked before giving Recoome a serious expression who charged him like a wild bull before Goku literally one shot him in the gut.

Not even a challenge…

"Whoa! Goku took that guy out in one blow!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Just what the hell kind of training did Goku do?" Sasuke asked.

Gohan and Krillin soon had these same thoughts before the big cheese himself Captain Ginyu touched down as Goku ordered Gohan and Krillin to find Bulma and the Dragon Balls.

Albeit reluctantly the two left.

After some time passed with the two finding Bulma, they were soon reunited with Goku. Who was with Jeice for a bizarre reason until it was revealed that Ginyu had swapped bodies with Goku!

"That sounds like a Yamanaka ability!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Shit…" Sakura shook her head.

As Gohan, reluctantly, and Krillin both fought their beloved comrade, Vegeta in the end got the defeat on Ginyu as Ginyu tried swapping bodies with Vegeta only to get thwarted with a frog in the end, courtesy of Goku.

"You know…I'm not gonna question it anymore…" Sakura sighed.

With Goku being put in a rejuvenation chamber, Gohan and Krillin were given new armor in exchange for allying themselves with Vegeta in trying to defeat Frieza.

Although this didn't stop Krillin and Gohan from trying to escape with the Dragon Balls and trying to revive their fallen allies.

"Haha! Serves that bastard right!" Naruto chortled.

And with that the Namekian Dragon Porunga was summoned.

"Whoa! That is a big ass Dragon!" Naruto and Sakura exclaimed simultaneously as Sasuke could only stare agape at the reptile.

However….Gohan and Co. were able to get Piccolo revived…before Vegeta found out and before anything else could be done the Dragon Balls died.

And if that wasn't bad enough, Frieza had come!

"Oh great!" Sakura groaned.

"Things just went from worse to worser!" Naruto clenched his fists.

"That's not even a word but just watch the memory." Sasuke said as everyone felt fear in their hearts.

After all this was the ruler of the universe.

Although Vegeta was able to match Frieza in his first form, Frieza revealed that he had a second form.

Team Seven could only watch in horror as Frieza transformed into a huge monster with ox-like horns.

"Holy shit…" Naruto said in awe.

Frieza in his second form was able to impale Krillin with his horns before being stopped by a very irate and enraged Gohan.

Although Gohan soon found himself under the foot of Frieza.

"Gohan!" Sakura yelled.

"Fire sty-"Sasuke cut himself off remembering he could do nothing.

Thankfully Gohan was saved by a revived Krillin, thanks to Dende's healing before Dende did the same to Gohan.

"Whoa…just like I heard Tsunade could do…" Sakura said.

"Makes me wish we had our own Dende!" Naruto grinned as Piccolo soon came as Piccolo easily bested Frieza in his second form.

"Yeah! Kick his ass Piccolo!" Sakura cheered before her heart dropped as Frieza soon ascended to his third form.

"Geez…how many forms does this guy have!?" Naruto yelled in irritation as Frieza easily defeated Piccolo.

Although after a Zenkai Boost from Krillin, Vegeta was able to tango with the 3rd form of Frieza before Frieza revealed his final, original form.

"That's his final form…he looks so…." Sakura drawled on.

"Smaller? Weaker?" Sasuke finished for Sakura.

Frieza's first order of business was eliminating Dende.

"That bastard!" Naruto yelled as he tried charging Frieza only to phase right through him.

"His healing abilities are a danger for Frieza regardless of how powerful he is." Sasuke acknowledged as the memories continued.

Frieza soon battled with Vegeta only to torture him as Team Seven along with everyone else could watch in horror and disgust.

"I hate that Vegeta prick but this is too much!" Naruto yelled.

Thankfully Goku soon touched down before Frieza could finish Vegeta and easily deflected what Frieza soon sent his way.

However…with Vegeta's talk of a Super Saiyan, Vegeta's life was soon snuffed out…as Vegeta sobbed to Goku not to let what Frieza did with him happen to anyone else….the proud Saiyan prince died.

"That bastard!" Naruto growled.

"He's the last of his kind…" Sasuke said with sympathy in his eyes. Him and Goku were truly alike….

With the promise of defeating Frieza for all of his innocent victims, Goku soon charged battle with Frieza.

Although the battle started off in Goku's favor, Frieza was quickly catching up in besting Goku to the point where Goku was able to defeat Frieza thankfully with the help of a Spirit Bomb.

"Alright! It's finally over!" Naruto cheered.

Although it wasn't….

Frieza had miraculously survived!

"What are all these space liens made up of!?" Naruto growled, slightly annoyed at how durable Frieza and Vegeta were.

His first order of business was too quickly shoot Piccolo in the chest.

Before anyone could even acknowledge what happened, Frieza soon levitated Krillin into the air before making him explode from the inside out!

"Krillin!" Sakura covered her mouth in horror.

That had did for Goku who was already mad with Piccolo's supposed death before a bright light enveloped Goku, turning the memory yellow for a second before Goku had indeed become a Super Saiyan!

"Wow…Gohan was sure right in saying becoming one of those required the pain of loss." Sasuke said as Goku ordered Gohan to take Piccolo, find Bulma and the ship and get off the planet.

Though this didn't stop the team from being unnerved with Goku's change in demeanor.

With a heavy heart, Gohan left.

Eventually he ran into Bulma who he took back to the ship along with Piccolo although he noticed something off.

"I can't sense my dad's energy anymore!" Gohan exclaimed.

"What!? Don't tell me Goku fell to that bastard!" Naruto growled as he punched the floor in the memory only for his fist to phase through.

"Goku…" Bulma teared up before noticing Gohan opening the door to the ship.

"Gohan! What the hell do you think you're doing!?" Bulma demanded as Gohan looked back at her with a smile.

"Bulma…I'm going…..I don't think dad's dead…" Gohan said without even looking back at her.

"Gohan! Your dad wouldn't want this!" Bulma tried reasoning with the five year old before he smiled at her.

"My dad wouldn't give up. So I'm going. Thank you for everything!" Gohan smiled before going out of the ship.

"Gohan! You can't!" Sakura tried yelling.

"Idiot." Sasuke said though Naruto caught hints of a smile on his face.

Gohan soon caught up with Frieza who smirked.

"Well if it isn't that Monkey's son. Yeah I just got done with that chimp father of yours. How lucky that his son is here with me!" Frieza exclaimed in glee at getting all of these saiyans out of his non existent hair.

Gohan only channeled his Ki in rage before flying off from Frieza.

"What's he doing?" Naruto asked.

"It looks like he's trying to stall for time." Sasuke said as Gohan looked back to see if he outran Frieza before he found the tyrant right in front of him.

"Darn it!" Gohan growled as he tried fighting the tyrant and he was able to get in some hits on Frieza before Frieza powered up.

"Without your dad, what hope have you?" Frieza snickered as Gohan closed his eyes before a bright light glowed from the sea below.

This revealing a Super Saiyan Goku, without his shirt.

"Daddy!" Gohan smiled.

"Didn't I tell you to get off this planet?" Goku asked as Gohan nodded, knowing this wasn't a time to argue.

"Be safe!" Gohan said before flying off.

Soon enough he suddenly vanished before appearing right on earth.

Sakura and Sasuke sighed in relief that Gohan made it out okay.

Although the atmosphere wasn't entirely happy as Guru had passed away. But not without transferring his abilities to Elder Moori.

As an extra bomb shell to all of this it turns out….Namek had exploded with Frieza dying.

Although….Goku had also died as a result…

Though everyone thought of using the Namekian Dragon Balls to revive Goku, this idea was shot down with the fact of though even Goku and Krillin could be revived, they'd be revived where they died with was in the empty vacuum of space where they would only die again.

"D-daddy…" Gohan teared up as a harsh laughter from Vegeta was heard before he touched down in front of everyone.

"Heh! Now that that clown is gone, I can take over the throne as the prince of Saiyans! Though what to do about his son? Take him out so he doesn't do the same to me one day?" Vegeta smirked as Team Seven growled at him.

"He'd sooner die than serve you." Sasuke growled wishing he could use his new jutsu on this shithead.

"Don't sweat it kid. You can serve under someone that's actually great!" Vegeta sneered.

"Shut up!" Gohan yelled before Vegeta tripped him.

"Wanna challenge me, brat? I wouldn't recommend it." Vegeta laughed as Gohan growled.

"My dad will be back!" Gohan yelled as he was able to get in a few hits on him.

"Shoulda hit him more." Naruto muttered.

Vegeta wiped his mouth before glaring at Gohan.

"You just did it now kid!" Vegeta said before flying up high as Gohan soon followed.

However….Round 2 ended up badly for Gohan as Vegeta easily caught him off guard before nearly pummeling his face in.

"Gohan!" Sakura yelled.

Sasuke's hand charged with lightning before he calmed himself without a word before Vegeta sent Gohan flying to the ground.

"Fool…" Vegeta smirked as he readied his hand with Ki before Piccolo appeared right behind him.

"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?" Piccolo growled as Vegeta glared at Gohan before flying off to a nearby tree.

After Gohan was healed, Vegeta soon told the idea of using Goku and Krillin's souls as a means to revive them as everyone was overjoyed as Gohan, getting over the previous fight, held his hand out for a handshake which was harshly slapped away by Vegeta.

"Yeah I doubt he did that out of the kindness of his own heart." Sasuke sighed as the memory shifted to the outside of Capsule Corp where Porunga was summoned.

The Team then watched as Tien, Yamcha and Chiaotzu were revived before the scene shifted again to where Krillin was revived.

Although….when they tried reviving Goku….

"I cannot grant that wish as the one called Goku is still alive." Porunga announced in its huge deep voice.

"B-but why?" Gohan asked.

"He said it is to better control his powers…" Porunga explained as the memory ended.


Whew!

Okay so pretty long chapter, huh?

Yeah like I said earlier I'm SO sorry again but better now than ever! Especially since I ALWAYS make sure to reach my dates and I made sure to achieve the dates I make for chapters that I to be delayed.

Hey at least I tell you guys! XD

So yeah, this chapter covered the Saiyan and Frieza Saga memories. Now I know some of you might notice a good deal of this chapter was me summarizing some stuff with Team Seven reacting afterwards. The reason being is because like I said, this chapter was longer than I anticipated and with the Saiyan and Frieza sagas being 107 episodes long….yeah.

This chapter is already 25 pages long and if I took ver batum EVERY SINGLE LINE then this chapter would've been delayed AGAIN.

But next chapter we won't have this problem as the next chapter will be the finale of this small mini arc so look forward to it then coming next Thursday, February 14th!

Til then stay safe and happy! ^_^
