Chapter 20: Goku Returns

Last time on Dragon Ball Z: Beyond Infinite...

Gohan and Trunks followed Vegeta to go train a bit in the Gravity Room. Piccolo and the others failed in their hunt in Cell, though they are still attempting to hunt him, not sensing the futility in their efforts. Piccolo sends a message to Gohan via telepathically that tells Gohan to take his father to Kame House. Also, we got to see what Android 0 and Bra were doing in space on Frieza planet 419. The training conditions are extreme at the least. Vegeta is testing out his theory to see if it will get him to the next level. Will it work? More improtantly, Cell is still out there, as well as androids #13, 16, 17 and 18. What will happen next? Will the Z-fighters be able to overcome these threats? Find out in Dragon Ball Z: Beyond Infinite!


On the Jet copter...

Yamcha was flying it while Gohan and Trunks were conversing. ''Trunks, I might go back out there to help hunt down Cell.'' Trunks nodded and was about to add to what he said until Trunks phone rang. He picked it up and found that it was his mother.

''Hello?''

''Hey son, so guess what.''

''What is it mother.''

''I've found this strange looking capsule that looks exactly like your time machine. Only its covered in moss and gooey stuff.''

''What!? But how? I have my time capsule right here.'' Trunks pulled out his time capsule and threw it to the ground. Poof, his time machine was right there.

''Okay, I'm just going to send you a picture of it through the phone. Check it out.'' The printer on the jet copter's front printed the picture of the mossy time machine. Yamcha handed Trunks the picture and it looked almost exactly like his own time machine.

''This will require more investigation, I'm coming over there to check it out.''

''Okay Son, I'll see you soon,'' with that Bulma hang up on her futuristic son. Gohan heard the conversation and wanted to help out. ''Trunks, I'm coming with you,'' stated Gohan. Chi Chi walked up to Gohan and shook her head.

''No you won't, you have studying to do.''

''But mom, what if Trunks encounters the androids, he'll need my help. Just face it, I'm my fathers son, I can't stand around with the worlds fate in jeopardy.'' Chi Chi sighed and realized that Gohan was correct, he was his father's son after all.

''Fine, but you better study when all of this is over.'' Gohan nodded at his mothers demand and nodded to Trunks. ''Trunks grab a hold of me, I want to see if I mastered my warping technique that I learned about 3 years ago.''

Trunks complied with the son of Goku and they warped exactly to the location of where the picture was taken. Bulma jumped back in shock with the sudden appearance of Gohan and Trunks. ''Hey Bulma/Mother,'' the two heirs said spontaneously.

Bulma quickly got over her surprise and pointed at the run down time machine. ''Well this is it Trunks,'' stated Bulma. Trunks was shocked to say the least and pulled out his own time machine capsule. He threw it on the ground and it instantly appeared.

''But how? My time machine is right here.''

Gohan saw some egg looking thing in the seat of the time machine. He grabbed it and examined what it was. ''Maybe whatever came out of this thing came from this time machine,'' wondered Gohan. Trunks took his hand and rubbed the moss of the spot where 'HOPE' was on his own time machine. The results were that the HOPE was still there and that it was indeed Trunks time machine.

''Yep, its my time machine alright.''

''Okay, maybe someone sent this egg to hatch in this timeline. If that's the case then it can't be to far from here,'' thought aloud Bulma. Bulma walked around the place to see if her hypothesis was correct.

Trunks jumped in the time machine's seat and configured the computer. He was trying to find out how long the duplicate time machine had been in this timeline. ''Hmm... it appears that this time machine has been here ever since about... 4 years ago!? This time machine was here before I arrived in this timeline! This must have come from another time line or something, I don't get it! I mighta caused some alternate timeline fiasco of some sorts.''

Little did Trunks know how right he actually was. ''AAAAHH! Guys, come check this out,'' called Bulma. Gohan ran over there and looked at the mysterious thing. It looked like an over grown bug that shed its skin previously.

''It looks like it shedded its skin and from what it looks like, it just now shedded its skin like a week ago.'' For once, Gohan was glad that he was forced to study biology on reptiles and other fascinating animals.

Trunks also came over after decapsulizing both time machines, and at first glance, he thought it looked familiar to something he had seen before. ''This thing, it looks like Cell! Cell must've came back from an alternate timeline to get to this one. He was probably the thing that came out of the egg shells. Maybe in his timeline the androids were destroyed so he came back for more power.''

Gohan nodded in agreement, it seemed like they were getting somewhere. ''Okay, I'm going to help Piccolo and the others hunt down and finish Cell.'' Trunks gave him a thumbs up and spoke what he was going to do. ''I'm gonna go check on my father to see what he's doing. If he's trying to ascend beyond a Super Saiyan then I'm going to try as well. See ya later Gohan,'' Trunks waved before shooting off into the sky.

Gohan waved to Bulma before shooting into the sky as well, leaving Bulma by herself.


With Krillin...

Krillin had found Cell attacking at a theme park. He tried to buy enough time for two innocent bystanders to escape, but Cell had gone after them, ignoring Krillin. They faced off on a roller coaster that was still riding.

Krillin crouched and unleashed his Super Kaioken and a X5 Kaioken afterwards. He prepared to fight tooth and nail against Cell, though he knew that Cell's ever increasing power was eventually going to be too much to handle.

Oh, man, thought Krillin. I hope Gohan's not taking a nap, or else I'll have to hold him off for longer than I'd like. His fears were baseless, as Gohan appeared via warping and transformed, facing Cell. Krillin could feel the others approaching.

"Now we've got him," said the half-Saiyan, landing on the steel walkway beside the roller coaster. "Nice job Krillin." Krillin flashed him a thumbs up, but turned back to the major threat.

Cell tensed up, realizing that he'd made a critical error in chasing the two innocents when he could have knocked Krillin out and escaped. "Who have you gotten, boy?" asked Cell. "All it looks like you've managed to do is get yourself trapped," replied Gohan.

Gohan darted at Cell, who dodged out of the way. Cell launched an energy blast at the supports on the roller coaster, causing the 'The Dragon' coaster to collapse in on itself. Gohan and Krillin both grabbed onto two coaster carts, saving the few people that were still alive after Cell's genocide. Cell used the resulting confusion to hop onto the ground, concealing his power level again. Cell blasted a hole deep underground and jumped through it.

Gohan and Krillin gently set the coaster car down. "Damn it!" shouted Krillin as Gohan dropped Super Saiyan. "He got away again!" The trio of people that were in the coaster car unbuckled the seat belts and hopped out of the car.

One was a girl of similar age to Gohan, another was a guy who was also similar in age to Gohan. Both had blond hair and the one behind them was none other than Videl. ''Oh, that was amazing! Thank you for saving us ummm...''

''His name is G- Recci, Erasa,'' answered Videl for Erasa. The ebony haired girl quickly corrected, not giving away Gohan's actual identity. Sharpener chose not to say anything, he was jealous of the attention the 'new boy' was getting. ''Hey Recci, its a pleasure to meet you. By the way you're kinda cute.''

Gohan shook hands with Erasa while blushing a little at Erasa's casual comment on him. Gohan then turned to look at Videl, who had twin pig tails on either side of her head, nodding slightly. ''Videl, what're you doing out here? You could have been killed today.''

''Well excuse me, I didn't know you were my father. But seriously you're not. Stop acting like it, besides hiding is for cowards, and I'm not one of them.'' Sharpener looked at the two with wonder, when had they started knowing each other.

''Videl, I just-''

"Shut up! You're so pessimistic it makes my stomach churn. You're so "I want you to be safe" this and that yet no one is truly safe right now with everything on the news going on. So if we're gonna die, I'm living a free spirit and no threat is gonna stop that. Hmph."

"You want me to stop being so pessimistic? To stop caring about others well beings? Well fine! Go ahead. You're actually kinda right, no one is safe. All I ask is one favor, that you keep outta trouble. Your right, I'm not the boss of you, it isn't my place. Comprende?"

"Fine, if it rids of that annoying mushy mushy attitude then I'm all for it."

"Thanks." Suddenly, 25 drones dropped in on the scene, all programmed to eliminate the beings made of flesh. Two of them immediately grasped Erasa's arms, subduing her. Said blonde shrieked in terror, surprised at the sudden contact.

"Erasa!" Sharpener called out before he too was grasped by a droid. Videl stayed calm however, elbowing the bot behind her easily. She then smirked, her strength becoming apparent to herself. Another two drones sped towards the raven haired fighter, however she was prepared. Said ten year old roundhouse kicked the first droid, knocking the head right off, her leg showing no signs of halting. In a quick succession, she obliterated three killer bots.

"If I destroy more drones than you, you have to acknowledge my skills," she challenged, smirking. Gohan put on a challenging grin, his black hair flowing with the wind. "I'll hold you to that."

Videl punched through another one, whilst the hybrid ran head on against a group of ten droids. It was complete domination, the half breed effortlessly plowing through the oppositions. He then grabbed the two bots holding Erasa and smashed their craniums against the ground, crushing the false life out of them. Videl saw she was losing in her little bet and did something risky. She hefted the drone holding Sharpener over her shoulder, then punched its head in. She then took the turret on said drones arm, destroying the remaining drones before the hybrid could get to them, winning her challenge.

''That was impressive,'' commented Krillin.

Videl smirked, ''I told you we could defend ourselves,'' stated Videl. Gohan was surprised that he lost, though he didn't really try either way.

"Good job, just don't take on the menacing looking ones. If you see this blue skinned, red haired android, then run away as fast and as far as you can. Even I can't beat em'."

"Fine, noted." Grumbled Videl, walking away with Sharpener following.

"Good luck to you too cutie," waved Erasa as she winked before walking away with her two best friends.

Krillin elbowed Gohan in the back softly and smiled sinisterly. ''It appears you are becoming quite the ladies man.'' Gohan brushed the comment off and replied. ''Shut up.''

Krillin let the playful mood go and went back to the matter at hand. ''Still, I can't believe we let him get away, I should've went all out to try to stop him when I had the chance. I keep letting him escape my grasp.''

"Don't blame yourself," said Piccolo, landing nearby after waiting for the trio of preteens leave. "Cell slipped up, which is something he's never done before. He resorted to desperate measures to escape. You had to, or else Cell still would have won, because you would have had to let innocent bystanders die."

Cell watched from where he hid in the park entrance building. "These Earthlings are really starting to get on my nerves. How is it they are able to follow me so quickly after my presence is known?" He smirked. "No matter. After I have absorbed the other Androids, I will show them who they are truly dealing with." He shot out of the other side of the park entrance building, sprinting down the desolate road as fast as possible.

"We should get back to Kame House," said Krillin. "Cell's not going to show himself for a while now, so it'd be best if we just waited until he did on the news."

The others agreed, and they shot off into the sky to go to Kame house.


At Kame House...

It had been a day since their failed attempt at capturing Cell, and still there was no news on his whereabouts.

"Darn it!" shouted Krillin, frustrated when the news didn't say anything about what they were calling "the Creature". "We almost had him yesterday. But he's too... too..."

"Don't sweat it, Krillin," said Piccolo. "Cell will make a reappearance soon. His hunger for humans and drones is too much for him to resist."

Just then, the TV show was interrupted by a news bulletin. "The Creature continues it's path of destruction, leaving no one it encounters alive. Now, we have multiple Creature sightings in South City."

''Also, in Toki Toki City, another menace is obliterating entire cities left and right.'' Piccolo clenched his fist knowing it was Android #13. But nobody was powerful enough to try taking him on.

"Let's go, guys," shouted Gohan. Gohan contiuned to look at the where the news reporter was standing. The others gathered around him and they vanished with his warp technique.

Just 10 minutes later, Chi Chi and Master Roshi were alerted to the sounds of footsteps upstairs. They both tensed up, not knowing who it was.

The doorway blocking the stairs suddenly opened. "Hey, guys," said the person. "Got anything to eat? I'm starving."

"G-Goku?" asked Chi Chi, staring at her husband.

"Yeah, it's me," replied the energetic Saiyan. Chi Chi ran forward and gave him a hug. Goku returned the hug and Chi Chi gave him a peck on the lips.

"You're okay!"

"I'm sorry I worried you, Chi Chi. Everything's going to be all right. I'm all better now."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah!" His smiled turned into a frown. "In my dreams I could hear everything that was going on. We're in deep trouble, aren't we? But I'm not ready to fight just yet."

"Of course you're not," said Chi Chi. "You still need to rest, so just stay put."

"Hey, I'm all right," said Goku. "Just relax now. It's time for me to start my training once again. It's time for me to move to the next level." He walked to the window. "Vegeta knows it too, Trunks probably knows it and I think Gohan does too. Through my dreams, I could hear Vegeta speaking what I had also felt. That there is a level beyond that of a Super Saiyan. And I will rise to claim it."

"I don't think it can be done," said Master Roshi.

"I can do it. It's the only way to beat Cell and the other androids. And I won't know if I don't try, will I? All I need to know for sure is a year."

"A year? But that's a long time!"

"But we both know a place where it could be done in a day," said Goku, smiling. He turned to his wife. "Hey, Chi-Chi! I'd like to take Gohan with me, if that's alright with you."

Chi-Chi nodded glumly. "No Goku! My little boy is already out there trying to be a hero in your absence. I don't need him staying away from me for a year without any studying."

''That's my boy, always helping out when he's needed. Anyways, even if you don't allow Gohan to come with me to the time chamber, he'll probably follow me to the lookout to train anyways. You kinda can't stop him, but I promise he'll study when all of this is over.''

Chi Chi sighed,'' You have a point Goku, go ahead and take him Goku. But when you return, I expect you guys to defeat those androids. And he has to study, okay.''

"I promise," said Goku. "I'd better get going." He gave his wife one last hug, raised his fingers to his forehead, and vanished into the wind.


With Gohan and the others in South City...

"Damn it!" shouted Krillin. "He's too fast for us!" He, Gohan, Tien, Yamcha, and Piccolo had arrived at South City only to find Cell had fled the scene once again.

"Cell!" said Piccolo in frustration. "Curse him! We were too late again!"

Gohan came down from where he'd been flying. "No sign of him. He's nowhere in the entire city, as far as I could tell."

"We could really use Goku's help," said Krillin. Just then, the others were distracted by Goku appearing behind Krillin."Its... my dad!" said Gohan, shocked at his sudden appearance. "Goku?" asked Yamcha, staring at the Saiyan.

Krillin turned to see what the others were staring at. He looked Goku up and down, then turned away. "Yep. I must be losing it." Just then, he realized the others were staring at Goku. He turned again. "G... Goku?"

"Hey guys!" said Goku, waving. "I'm back!"

Gohan ran forward and gave his father a big hug. "So, you're finally back to normal?"

"Almost," said Goku. "I'm just really hungry. Can we get something to eat?"

"Yeah," said Krillin. "He's back to normal all right." Goku walked to Piccolo. He scratched behind his head, staring at the Namek. "Kamiccolo!" he finally said. Piccolo jerked in surprise. "What?" asked the Saiyan. "Did I say something wrong?"

"I've been through some changes," said Piccolo, "but my name is still Piccolo. Don't ever forget that."

"Right," said Goku. "But listen. There's no way we can defeat a power like the androids and eventually Cell in a fight right now. And that's why I've decided we should start training again. I know a place where we can all get a year of training in a day."

"So it's back to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber," said Piccolo. "I see. Nobody has ever managed to stay in there for more than a year. It might be too much for any of us to handle."

"Yeah, that's why I'm taking Gohan, Trunks, and Vegeta along with me." Gohan looked up in surprise. "Surely one of us will be able to ascend to the next level of Super Saiyan," continued Goku.

"Then go, Quickly," said Piccolo. "Cell gets stronger every day and Android 13 keeps on his path of destruction. Time is in short supply. If we let Cell absorb 17 or 18, we're finished for sure."

"Right. Let's go get Trunks and Vegeta, Gohan."

Gohan nodded and touched his fathers arm. Then Goku raised his two fingers to his forehead and they vanished into the wind.

One day is more than we can afford, thought Piccolo. It better be worth the wait, or Earth is doomed.

"Things are looking up!" said Tien. "When those Super Saiyans are done training, I know we'll be ready for Android #13, Android #0 and Cell!"

"You bet!" said Krillin. "We'll win! And the Earth will be safe once again! Man, I just can't wait to get to Cell now! His days of terrorizing people will be over for good!"

oO0Oo

Vegeta stood upon a rock overhang, staring into the sky. Yes, I can feel it, thought Vegeta. I know it can be done. I can ascend beyond a Super Saiyan. The only question is- how? I'm trying my theory and so far I'm increasing in power, but not that rapidly. If only I had year's time to do this.

Behind him, 30 feet away, Trunks sat, watching his father while in Super Saiyan form. Father, you're so proud and arrogant, thought the half-Saiyan. Well I've got news for you- I'm not going anywhere. If you can raise your power to the next level, then so can I. I'm here to stay, whether think I am a burden or not.

Just then, Goku appeared directly behind Trunks with Gohan touching his arm. Trunks stood up and faced them. "Goku! You're better!"

"Yeah I am, so how's the training going with Vegeta, Trunks," asked Goku.

"Not well. I guess my father really doesn't want me to train with him. He thinks I'll be a burden to his sole achievement and every time I get close he tells me to get lost." Trunks looked at his father. "Look at him. He's done nothing but stand there, staring into space as a Super Saiyan, for the last three days. He hasn't moved nor let down his Super Saiyan form."

"Yeah, that is strange,"replied Goku. "Maybe he's just waiting for a sign, or something to show him the way. The way to ascend to the next level. I'll go have a word with him." He flew over to Vegeta. "Kakarrot, leave me alone," said Vegeta as Goku landed behind him.

"Hey, hold on," said Goku. "I just want to help you out, Vegeta. I know what you're trying to do. There's a room at Kami's place where you can get a year of training in one day." Vegeta looked up. "I could ascend to the next level very quickly." He turned to Goku. "Take me there."

"Sure, but here's the problem. Only two people can enter at once. I'm going in with Gohan, so you'll have to go in with Trunks."

"This better not be another one of your tricks."

"Hey, would I lie to you?" asked Goku. "We're all in this together now, remember? This is an on the level training experience, I promise."

"All right, I'll go," said Vegeta. "As long as I get to go in first."

"Sure. You know, this is a great way for a father and son to get to know each other."

The two flew over to Gohan and Trunks. Trunks grabbed onto Goku's shoulder, Vegeta reluctantly grabbed on to Goku's gi, Gohan grabbed onto Goku's arm and they vanished.

oO0Oo

"You three should get some sleep," said Piccolo as they landed at Kame House. "I'll keep an eye on the news, and watch for the androids."

''You all deserve it, take it while we have time. I'm confident in my power to handle the androids or Cell if need be,'' stated Piccolo to halt any objections from the weaker tier of the Z-fighters. Yamcha, Tien, and Krillin nodded. Within minutes the three were out cold in front of the television, and Piccolo sat, staring at the news to find any clue of there whereabouts.

oO0Oo

"Follow me," said Mr. Popo, leading the Saiyans along a corridor. "You'll find everything you need here. There's food, a bed, and bath. It's not very luxurious, I'm afraid."

"Us Saiyans require nothing but the essentials," said Vegeta. "This is not a vacation. This is work, the chance to reach the next level."

"Ignore him, Mr. Popo," said Goku. "He's a little uptight today. He's just eager to complete his training."

"Yes, so then I can take care of you and your son, to prove that I am the strongest Saiyan in the universe," said Vegeta to himself. He smirked at the thoughts of proving his supreme dominance over eveything that stands in his way of conquest.

"Here it is," said Mr. Popo, gesturing to a large wooden door. "So that's the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?" asked Gohan. Mr Popo nodded and added a little to Gohan's statement. ''Yes, but its also called the Room of Spirit and Time.''

turned to rest of the Saiyans. "Which group goes first?"

"You two," said Goku to Trunks and Vegeta. "Go on in."

"Good," said Mr. Popo. "Right this way, please." He opened the door. "Once you have crossed the threshold, you will spend a year in this room. But once you leave, only a day will have passed in this dimension. Good luck in your endeavours." Vegeta and Trunks entered the chamber.

"I hope those two get along," commented Gohan. Knowing Vegeta, though, that hope was likely to go ignored. But maybe not, Vegeta has to have some semblance of respect for his son, right?

oO0Oo

"What's so special about this place?" asked Vegeta.

"It's hot," said Trunks. "There's less air. And the gravity is different." He walked outside the entry room. "I... don't believe it!" he said, catching a sight of the massive void surrounding the doorway. Vegeta followed, looking around without much apparent surprise.

"There's nothing here!" said Trunks. "We're surrounded by total emptiness! Floating in a gigantic void! What kind of place is this?"

"Too much for you?" mocked Vegeta.

"Of course not, but... now I know why few can stand a full year in this place. It's... overwhelming."

"It is," agreed Vegeta.

I must not let my father see that I am afraid, thought Trunks. This is my chance to prove myself to him. But I don't know if I can spend an entire year in this place! It's too much for me! It's too much!

''No I can't back out now, I have to prove myself to my father. I have to get my sister back, I have to stop these androids. I have to get STRONGER!'' Trunks began mumbling to himself before his voice elevated. Trunks flashed Super Saiyan and powered up as far as he could go.

''Father! Don't you dare turn your back on me, its time for training to begin.'' Trunks zipped in front of Vegeta and threw a jab to his face. Vegeta saw it coming and evaded the blow. ''So you've got the guts to challenge your father, well make this fun for me,'' commented Vegeta.

''I will. If you're not gonna train with me, I'll just train with you by force if I have to.'' Vegeta couldn't help but smirk at his son. He's becoming more like me and his spunk is respectable even if this kid can't defeat me, he's not too far off. I might even tell him my theory on how to ascend.

I don't care if this room is too much for me, I'll make the best of it, to become as strong as posssible. Trunks thought to himself for a second time.

oO0Oo

"If you're planning on going outside today, don't!" said the news. "Creature sightings are at an all-time high. It would be a good day to stay in and lock your doors. These are dangerous times, folks, and we can only hope that somewhere there is someone that can-"

"I can't stand it!" muttered Piccolo. "Sitting here doing nothing while Cell continues his reign of terror! Curse you, Cell! I will find and eliminate you once and for all."

Just then, he heard footsteps outside. Getting up, he moved to the window. "Hi. Can Goku come out and play?" asked Android 17. The three Androids had arrived after what seemed like almost a week.

Oh, this is perfect, thought Piccolo. It's exactly what I wanted for breakfast. I get to take out both of these androids at the same time, I certainly have the power. I'll take 17 and 18 on at the same time. That way Cell won't reach his perfect form.

"Goku is not here," stated 16. "Not here?" asked 17, who was frustrated at being evaded by Goku for not the first time, but the second time. "Get up," said Piccolo, waking the others. "We've got Androids at our doorstep."

They stood and ran outside. "Hold your ground," said Piccolo. "I'll handle this." He faced 17. "Goku's not here right now, but perhaps I can take his place."

"No thanks," said 17, "but tell us where he is and I might change my mind."

"I don't like the look of this," said Krillin.

"Goku's gone now," said Piccolo, "so why don't you go get lost."

"Now now," said 17. "It's not very nice to talk to your guests that way, you know."

"Alright, have it your way." Piccolo pointed to a nearby island. "There, that island. You and me, head to head."

"Very well. If you really want to."

"You three stay here," said Piccolo to the others. "This is my fight now." He and the Androids took off, flying towards the island.

When they landed , #17 stroke a deal to Piccolo which fell on deaf ears. "If you cooperate, I'll go easy on you," said 17, walking towards Piccolo, while rolling up his sleeves. "Last chance. Tell me where Goku is. Or else..."

Piccolo cut him off. "Go find him yourself.'' Piccolo, threw his cape and turban to the side.

"I think it's my turn to sit this one out," said 18, sitting on a nearby rock. ''No, you join in too #18, you'll only be able to take me on if both of you combat me simultaneously,'' Piccolo smirked as he crouched into a fighting stance.

''That won't be required, I have enough data on you to know that you're no match for me even though I've never fought you.''

''Well things have changed, my power has significantly grown since you last sensed me. I'm confident you have no chance, because you could barely stand up to Vegeta, and I'm leagues ahead of him now.''

''Is he telling the truth #16,'' 18 asked to her peace craving comrade. 16 scanned Piccolo's power and nodded. ''Affirmative, his power has increased considerably since our android awakenings. He's too much for you guys to individually take on. His strength is on par with mine.''

''Well I don't believe you, stay out of this until I really need help 18,'' 17 told to 18. Piccolo's smirk only intensified, finally things were going his way. ''Its your funeral 17, your overconfidence will become your down fall. You should've listened to the big guy over there. Now you're doomed,'' Piccolo cracked his knuckles and his neckbone, loosening up his body.


With Raditz and Bra...

Bra's hair was growing more wild and untamed every Earth day. The constant adaptation was making her grow more into a woman each day. She had just turned 16 and continued to grow in power. Everyday, which was 3 hours of Earth's time was a struggle to survive. Raditz was faring much better, he was getting that much closer to achieving his goal of reaching the form that his nephew had. He was currently doing push ups and sit ups on the ground in 1,000 degrees Celcius. On that planet, they had spent about two weeks while on Earth they had only spent 3 and 1/2 days. The two Saiyans adapted to it as if it was on Earth by the time the first week had rolled by.


Wallah, this chapter was the longest chapter by far, cashing in at 7,000 words! I don't know where I got the inspiration but I did and this is the results. To sum up this chapter, Gohan has met Erasa, Videl and Sharpener in this chapter. Also Goku woke up and got everyone training in the HTC. The hunts for Cell have all ended in futility, but the androids came so that was the next best thing. Two chapters back to back in the span of two days is pretty incredible. I'm proud of this accomplishment, and I hope you enjoyed this chapter because I enjoyed writing it.

Review Section:

C: You spell chapter chpter on the title

A: I changed it in case you haven't really noticed ;)

C: Great story! I freaking love it and getting really into it, keep up the good work!

A: Thank you for your support, support only motivates me to produce more and better quality chapters.

C: What if Gohan boiled over in rage and transformed into a Super Saiyan on Namek? How will that impact the whole of Dragon Ball Z along with other characters? Well lets find out in BI! Starts from Namek all the way through Battle of Gods and possibly beyond!

this is your summary, right?

for the first answer he totally sucks! :'(
you treat Gohan more cruel than the GT.

if I'm not wrong, Gohan went super Saiyan before Vegeta? right? then he started training too. and then Goku came. I was expecting a grand change from that point.. but Vegeta started gaining power rapidly, and Gohan started failing.. like their roles have been switched.

I'm not saying Gohan should beat the shit out of everything, but there should be a change if Gohan became a super Saiyan earlier.
but I deduce you are a Vegeta fan or at least have him in top three. stop glorifying him too much, pay more attention to the main character on the cover.

please ignore it if you don't find anything in my review :)

A: Um... Vegeta isn't my favorite. He's personally one of my favorites though and is definitely in the top 5. But I don't feel that I'm glorifying Vegeta too much, and Vegeta became a Super Saiyan only two days after Gohan did so there isn't much change. And if you think I'm treating Gohan worse than GT then look at early chapters where I gave him multiple moments to shine. I'm not just going to give the glory all to Gohan, my plan was to distribute it. I don't want a Gohan triumphs over all without any help type stories, I don't want Gohan to be OP. I'm just not giving all of the glory to Goku like the Canon did. I just wonder how I'm giving Gohan worse treatment then an GT? Just asking, no offence taken on my part. And Gohan can't win every battle, just like Vegeta. And the power growth was produced by Vegeta's ever increasing desire to become the greatest, the epidomy of the Saiyan race, the strongest in the universe. Gohan didn't use the GR as much as Vegeta and Trunks did so the power increase was expected. And I like to equally distribute attention amongst characters, that's how I roll. I hope you come to terms with what I just said. :)

C: Okay this chapter was pretty cool. We get to see your other two stories that are currently in progress and I'm going to check those out. Anyways, I wonder if you're going to do some Gohan Piccolo type bonding with Bra and Raditz, though I doubt that.

Also, the futility in all of this hunting should become aparrent to the Z-fighters (though I doubt it). Overall, great chapter and I'll say tuned for the next installment. Peace.

A: Well it didn't become apparent that it was futile until it was too late. And about Bra and Raditz, you'll have to wait and see. You don't know what I'm going to do so just keep on guessing. Thank you for your support, I appreciate it.


Always, Thank you all for your support and I shall see you in the next chapter of Dragon Ball Z: Beyond Infinite. Stay tuned for Chapter 20: Piccolo's Prowess! Deuces.
