A New Life Chapter 2
An: Alright, I've read the comments section, and as it appears, most of you guys are quite disappointed at the ridiculous buff I gave the HDN cast, so with some deep thinking, wiki reading and discussion along with some friends of mine, I've made adjustments in the PL, you can now go back to chapter 1 to see the changes I made.
But before you do, here's a few things I'd like to say.
For those who had enjoyed my last chapter, I'm glad you guys did and I'll try my best in not screwing this up as it already is.
First, about the whole tfs Power Level Are bullshit, as it appears that most of you are unsatisfied about it, so! I'll not be using that reference anymore.
Second, about the [ AN ] and Fourth Wall breaking thingy, I'm probably going to do less of those starting from the next chapter.
Third, about the whole God Ki and share energy thing. Again, with long deep thinking, wiki and Reddit reading, I've discussed with my friends about this matter and came up with an idea.
This is according to wiki, and I'm sure most of you already know it, share energy is just basically the belief/ faith people have in their goddesses, and I doubt can faith and belief be sensed anyway, even if it could be sensed, Gohan will not be able to do it since he doesn't have the ability to do so.
Fourth, About the PL and Multiplier, some of you mentioned that HDD is not a Multiplier, but hear me out ( Not saying that you're wrong, this is just my opinion )
Stated in the wiki, the CPU's stats increase significantly in HDD form, and their stats stack up on their stats in human form, in other words, Multiplier.
Some of you guys also said that share energy increases the power of a goddess dramatically, but for now, I'm not able to find any information on the boost in power, so if you guys got a grasp on this boost, please leave a comment or PM me, I'd apologize for my lack of ability in research which is even worst than Histoire.
Now about the PL, I dunno, but some of you might be unsatisfied with the new list, so allow me to briefly explain how did I calculate those numbers.
In the Manga, Black Heart in full power ( Stated by Black Heart herself, also gonna assume that she's at lv99 ) was able to destroy a asteroid ( If you exclude that giant anti-crystal ) with a diameter of 1 Km with her sword and physical force along, no Ki or whatsoever ( I know it said meteorite but it's not, because a meteorite is sized between a pebble to a boulder, and I'm sure there's no boulder that has a length of 1 Km )
Now back in Namek, Goku wasn't able to destroy that giant rock Frieza threw at him ( If he could he would just punch through it instead of letting it squash him onto the ground )
And with some rough calculations that you guys are not interested in, I've come to the conclusion that lv99 Black Heart is at least *ahem 30 times stronger than base Goku in Namek... Hope you'll be able to humbly accept that...
Now onto the last, it's about how Saibaman could one-shot most of the monster in HDN, I'm gonna say that a Saibaman will be able to beat an lv1~5 monster, maybe even lv10 ( If he self-destructs) But definitely not an lv99 monster.
Well enough with the power level talk, I'm not here to write a report, SO! Without further ado, I represent chapter 2 of this Fanfic!

Chapter 2
" Well, that should do it..." Purple Heart muttered as she watched the spider-like monster dropped to the ground dead. " That was super, Nep-Nep! You beat that monster in a flash!" Compa complimented in awe.
" Gohan, are you okay? " Compa asked as she inspected his broken arm " Yea, I'm fine, thanks for saving me, Neptune." Gohan replied " Don't sweat it, that's what friends do isn't it? Oh, and..." Purple Heart grabs a green leaf out of her inventory and hands it to Gohan.
" It's a healing grass, I got it a while ago back in the forest, it should be able to heal you up." " Thank you, Neptune." Gohan said as he proceeds to swallow the magical grass, a green light surrounded Gohan's body as Gohan feels his strength returning.
Gohan's HP had been fully restored.
Removing the cast, Gohan found his arm completely healed ' It's like a senzu bean!' Gohan thought " Phew... That was tiring..." a bright light merged with Purple Heart once more as Neptune canceled her HDD form.
" Well done, Neptune, Compa. And Gohan are you okay?" Histoire asked " Yea, I'm okay Histoire." Gohan replied " Um, Gohan, who's this Histoire you're talking about? And where is this voice coming from?" Compa asked.
" Oh, you mean Ms. Heavenly voice, AKA Histoir...?" Neptune frowned " What was it again?" " Histoire. You were only off by one letter..."
" That's right, by the way, Gohan you seem familiar with Histy-Histy, you two known each other?" Neptune asked " You can call me Histy. Now nice to meet you Compa. And Gohan, I must thank you for listening to my request." Histoire said " Well, I didn't really do anything..." Gohan scratched that back of his head.
" No, I believe you had done a splendid job in guiding Neptune so far. And I hope you could continue helping Neptune on her way." Histoire replied " Um, Histy? What do you mean by on her way? Is there something we need to do?" Compa asked.
" The Guard Vermin should have dropped an item, right?" Histoire asked " You mean this weird key thingy?" Neptune took out a key from her inventory " Yes. That's a Key Fragment, a piece needed to release me from my seal."
" You're sealed, Histy?" Compa asked " Yes, I know it'll be a long journey, but can you release me, there's one of those in each Land." Histoire explained " Is this what you meant by lending you my power earlier?" Gohan asked " Yes. And I'll ask sincerely again, please release me from my seal." Histoire requested desperately.
" I could, but I have to fight monsters, right? Isn't it... dangerous?" Neptune asked " Yes, your life will be in danger, but I believe with Gohan's guidance, you'll be safe for most of the journey." Histoire replied " That's why I ask of you, Gohan, please lend Neptune your strength, and guide them through this journey."
Gohan despite not like to be forced into a fight, but he does like to go on adventures with his friends, he actually enjoyed the journey to planet Namek, except for the whole Frieza part, knowing that Neptune and Compa's lives might be in danger if he doesn't help ' I don't really have a choice here, do I?' Gohan thought to himself " Okay Histoire, I'll help Neptune on finding the Key Fragment. Plus, I want to find out the reason behind the spawning of the monster too."
" Thank you, Gohan. And if you can help lift my seal, I can in turn help get your memory back." " Really?!" Neptune asked " Really, really. And anyway, I do need you to get your memory back." Histoire said " Well then! Let good old Neptune search far and wide for those fragments!" Neptune exclaimed " I'll help, too. After all, I can't leave Nep-Nep alone with her brain loss." Memory loss, Compa..." Neptune corrected " But thanks! Are you okay being away from nursing school?"
" It's closed because of the monsters, so I'm okay." Compa answered " Thank you... ve... ry... mu... ch..." Histoire replied " What? I'm having trouble hearing you, Histy? Is the static there bad?" Neptune asked worried " I... using... Fragment... I... ou... t... of time... Pl... eas... lo... ok... for... Key... Fragm." That was the last sentence they heard before losing track of Histoire completely.
" Histoire-san?" Gohan called out worried, but there's no response " I think I lost contact. I hope Histy is all right." Neptune commented " Well, we at least know how to get your memory back. Let's go Nep-Nep."
The trio returned to Compa's home, are now taking their time resting, while Neptune was devouring all the delicious pudding Compa has to offer, Gohan was sitting on the sofa.
" Oh right! Gohan, you said you were going to teach me this Ki thingy Right?" Neptune asked, but she received no reply " Gohan?" Neptune called out " Shhh~" Compa shushed, placing her index finger on her lips, gesturing her to stay silent, Neptune turned her head to see Gohan asleep.
" Oh..." Neptune walked closer to the asleep saiyan " He's cute when he's sleeping." Neptune commented as she felt her heartbeat accelerated, slightly blushing ' What is this feeling I'm getting... Get it together Neptune! Jeez...' Neptune thought to herself.
" Now that you mentioned it, he looks like a child when he's asleep." Compa muttered as realization suddenly hits Neptune " Wh-what if he's actually a kid!" Neptune asked " Nep-Nep, we can ask Gohan when he wakes up, for now, let him rest, he must be tired after being kidnapped by that giant monster." Compa suggested " You're right. Compa, give me more pudding!" Neptune exclaimed
With both of his hand in the air, a man was trying to gather as much energy as possible, he was wearing a blue undershirt, with only the lower parts of his orange gi remained, Gohan, recognized the spiky hair of his, that man was his dad, Goku.
" Come on! Do it!" Another man was behind Goku, he recognized that person too, it was his mentor, Piccolo. Looking around, he realizes that he recognized everything, he was back on Namek together with Krillin and Bulma! And he remembers the white-purple alien floating in the air.
' That's Frieza! I-is this a dream?' Gohan thought to himself " HAAA!" Goku yelled as he threw his hands down, a giant ball of blue energy was seen slowly moving toward Frieza from above.
" Huh?" Upon realization, Frieza turned his head to see the blue ball of energy closing in, everyone ducked for cover as the spirit bomb begins to swallow Frieza.
" No! That's impossible!" Panicked, Frieza held both his arm out in an attempt to stop the gigantic attack, but to no avail, the non-pure heart of his had led to the death of him, or so everyone thought.
" No! It's too powerful! ARGGGGGG-" Frieza yelled in agony as the bomb exploded upon impact on the ground. Strong waves of wind were created by the explosion, Gohan soon found himself together with everyone was blown away by the strong waves of wind.
They soon came to a halt, as they recovered, they see no trace of Frieza left anymore, they gathered around ' No...' Gohan thought to himself as the group celebrated ' No, it's not over yet! I have to warn them!' But Gohan found himself unable to control his body on command.
And as expected, Frieza proven the group wrong, standing on a hill, Frieza grunted before shooting a laser beam aimed toward Goku, seeing this, the Namekian pushed him away as the beam pieced through Piccolo's chest, everyone was shocked ' NOOOOOOOOO!' Gohan screamed in his thought, he knew it wasn't over yet, he knew what was yet to come after this...
Frieza shot a small ball of energy toward Krillin, as the attack went inside him, Krillin found himself levitating in the air " I hope you're not afraid of height." Frieza commented as he slowly raised his arm, Krillin found himself shooting upward toward the sky " Krillin!" Goku yelled in panic as Frieza laughed.
" No Frieza! Don't do it!" Turning his head back, Goku tried to stop Frieza but fail miserably as he clenched his raised hand.
" GOKUUUUUUU-" That was the last word Krillin yelled as his body exploded into millions of pieces.
" NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Gohan's eyes shot open as he shouted out loud, shocking the girls " Whoa! You scared me there." Neptune quickly composed herself " Gohan! Are you okay? Did you have a nightmare?" Compa asked worriedly.
Gohan rubbed his temple " Yea, I've a nightmare. But no worries, I'm fine now." Gohan smiled " By the way, I've been meaning to ask. But Gohan, how old are you?" Neptune asked " Huh? Oh, Sorry for not mentioning this earlier, but I'm 11 years old." Gohan explained shocking everyone.
" What?! Eleven years old!? How did someone so young like you end up falling from the sky?!" Compa asked " Well, I did tell you that I was unconscious in the whole process, so I don't really know." Gohan lied " What about your parents? Are they nice?" Neptune asked.
" Well, my mom is a nice and kind person, she usually told me to go study for my grade. I guess all parents are concerned about their child's grade." Gohan said as Neptune frowned " Aww, that sucks, I could imagine myself bored to death just by studying for a minute!" Neptune said.
" What about your father?" Compa asked, Ah his father... The man who spends half his time training, and the other half dead, sometimes both... The man who threw his son to the biggest wolf in the woods... The man who would lets his son, his flesh and blood almost died...
But despite that, he knows his father loves him, he sacrificed himself so that he could save the earth, as well as his family and friends, either that or it's just to earn the credit... Anyway, the fact that he died to protect the one he loves still remains, and that's all Gohan needs to know.
" My dad was a great martial artist, he actually taught me how to fight and trained me along with my mentor." Gohan explained " Was...? Did he?" Compa asked " Yea... He died because of a heart attack..." Gohan lied again " I'm sorry..." " It's alright, I've got over with it already." Gohan smiled as he wiped the tears gather around the corner of his eyes.
" Well now that we all have rested, let's go out and get Gohan a weapon!" Neptune exclaimed " Yea, if we're going to fight monsters on the journey, you'll need a weapon Gohan." Compa explained.
And with that, the trio had arrived a small weapon shop, said it's small, but the range of weapon in the shop is huge, from futuristic to ordinary weapons, the shop keeper greeted them, he's wearing a simple white shirt and blue jeans " Sup kiddo, here looking for a weapon?"
" Yea, I'll need a weapon... Hey, what's that?" Gohan pointed to a sword left in the corner of the shop, it's a longsword with a golden cross-section and handle, the sword was tucked into a purple scabbard.
" Oh, that. Well, it had been here for as long as I can remember... Nobody was able to unleash it out of the scabbard, so no one buys it. Now I'm more of a trying to get rid of it then selling it." The shop keeper explained as Gohan picked the sword up ' It's heavy!'
" Let's make a bet. If you can unleash it, then the sword is yours, if you failed, then you'll have to pay me twice the original price." The shop keeper said " Hey! That's not fair! I thought you said you're trying to get rid of it." Neptune complained " Sorry girl, but I'm doing this as a living."
Gohan noticed few kanji that was carved into the purple scabbard, he read it " Only the people with pure heart shall wield this Zet Sword "
" Okay, I'll accept the bet." Gohan exclaimed as he placed one hand on the handle, the other on the scabbard. " HA!" With a mighty yell, Gohan tightens the grip, as he started pulling, a click was heard as a bright light filled the shop.
" Oh Nelly!" Neptune yelled as everyone shield their eyes. As the light dies, a silver blade was revealed " Holy cow..." The shop keeper said in awe " Alright kid, you won the bet, this sword is yours."
Item Obtained
Zet Sword - 1
Gohan slashed the air few times with the Zet sword before sheathing it back into the scabbard " Wow! Gohan, you actually did it!" Compa exclaimed " Yay! Now our hero here finally got his weapon. This must be a mark of the start of a new tale!" Neptune said.
" Here kiddo." The shop keeper gave Gohan a black strap " Thank you." Gohan replied as he wears it and clipped the Zet sword to his back.
And with that, the trio had left the shop, and took the first step in their upcoming adventure.
AN: Oh dear, I feel like adding fuel to the fire by giving Gohan a weapon... anyway! This is a rather short chapter, so I apologize to anyone who finds this rather boring. Guess you can call it a filler chapter.
Neptune: A filler chapter this early in the fanfic? Jeez, this fanfic is doomed.
AN: Sh-shut up! Ahem! For those who played the game, you'll know that a big fight is coming soon, but of course, I'll be adding a little twist into it...
Neptune; Ah! You evil author!
AN; I wouldn't call it evil... But whatever, anyway I won't be able to update this fanfic for the next week ( private reasons ) so stay tune and til next chapter my friend. Ciao!
