`Okay before we start the chapter off today I am just going to say a few things. One is that I know that I overpowered Superman but I need to have someone that powerful in this story or else I will have a story where everybody is as strong as Raditz except one character (Gohan). So it was either overpower some characters or nerf Gohan. Which I really don't want to do because those fics suck assssssssssssssssssssssssss.
The second thing is that I have been receiving a lot of flame reviews as of late and really I don't care. All you are doing is making yourself look like an ass because the reviews aren't even constructive. I am just going to keep doing what I am doing and one angry person on the internet isn't going to stop me. Now some flame reviews are good and I do accept them and realize my mistakes, but with some of them I feel like the person hadn't even read the story or just skimmed over the entire 13k+ words. (Also I have noticed that only one guy has had the balls to flame review me while using an account I commend that.)
IMPORTANT!
This is a little bit of Not My Time history because without this the chapter will seem confusing.
After Gohan and Cell left the scene with Zod, Superman tried to find them, he was unsuccessful, and gave up, thinking that Gohan would reveal himself with the next threat.
Flash Forward three years and Doomsday is beating the crap out of the League. Gohan knew that they would not win so he showed the League his first Super Saiyan transformation and destroyed Doomsday with little effort. Batman saw him as a threat after he had refused to join the League because he had no taste for fame. After that the League pursued him to subdue him and make sure he could not use his powers for evil even though he had not intentions of doing so.
Flash Forward another two years and Batman created the Young Justice team for the sole purpose of tracking down and subduing Gohan.
Okay now that I have that off my virtual chest let us BEGIN
July 22
Santa Prisca 19:36
Gohan pulled the silver blade he was wielding out of the gray monster Mammoth's chest, successfully dotting his face with a thick red liquid. The Saiyan let out an exasperated sigh and sheathed his sword in it's brown leather container (Icarus had decided that the original orange one would make a good chewing toy), before turning around and gazing upon the dozens of henchmen that he had slaughtered in his rage.
A growling noise brought Gohan's attention back to the giant body that he had just turned from. His teenage eyes widened when he turned around and saw Icarus with Mammoth's dead body limply hanging from his mouth as the dragon thrashed his head back and forth in a rather obvious display of anger.
The reason for that anger and Gohan's rage from earlier. A giant gash on the dragon's left side that spanned from the center of his stomach to the base of his neck, reaching 3 inches at it's widest point, and was spewing blood like a hose.
Gohan looked back at the giant man in his dragon's mouth before shaking his head and putting his hands on his hips. "Icarus, he's already dead, just leave him be." The dragon responded by tossing the large grey man's body into the air, waiting a second before spinning around and violently hitting him with his tail, sending the body far off into the sunset. Gohan watched the body fly while his left eye twitched in irritation. "Icaruus." He said in a dangerously low voice.
The dragon looked at Gohan with a neutral expression, not looking at all affected by Gohan's tone of voice. After all, all he had done was throw away a potential chew toy; and if anything, Icarus should be mad at his master for making him do so.
So how did the dragon respond to Gohan's call? Well he promptly turned around and made a big display of shunning the son of Goku with an audible "hmph". Gohan threw his hands in the air and turned away, not understanding why his dragon had to be so frustrating at times.
When Gohan turned his back, Icarus swiveled his head in his direction and stuck his tongue out at the Saiyan, who knew what the dragon was doing.
"I'm going to go and clean up the island."
July 22
Santa Prisca 20:08
Gohan was just finishing cleansing the first part of the island of his and Icarus' mess from earlier when his head suddenly snapped to look somewhere to the east. Gohan quickly dropped what he was doing and ran in the direction of his dragon, jumping over trees, bushes, and bodies to get there.
He arrived at his destination in a matter of seconds and urgently jumped onto the back of the large purple animal, forgetting about his injury. "Icarus we need to go now!"
Icarus did not question his master's word and immediately attempted to lift off into the air, only to release a pained howl when the giant gash on his left side burned in protest of his actions.
Gohan cursed under his breath for forgetting about Icarus' injury while jumping off of the dragon, being careful to avoid irritating the laceration. Gohan hit the ground as soon as a small tremor hit the island. 'Shit their close. What should I do. I can do that- wait no I still haven't mastered it yet. YES I can do that!' Gohan dashed back to his dragon and pressed himself tightly to the uninjured side of the large beast. "Icarus. Camo-mode."
Icarus immediately understood and covered the Saiyan with his wing and dashed out of the clearing they were standing in, instead choosing to reside near the face of a cliff. Gohan was careful to walk with him and when they got to the face of the cliff, noticed the change of scenery as Icarus went into, what Gohan dubbed as, Camo-mode, perfectly matching his surroundings with the color of his skin; not unlike a chameleon.
Gohan let out a sigh of relief as an orange and black blur came to a stop in the clearing that they were just in. 'Not a moment too soon either.'
"I swear he was just here!" The teenaged blur shouted while Gohan let out a smile for his misfortune. "Wait a second." Kid Flash noticed a small trickle of something dripping from seemingly nowhere. 'Oh shit…' Gohan inwardly cursed for not noticing that Icarus had his left side towards the teen hero. Wally carefully stepped forward, and put his hand out as if to touch the small fountain of blood.
That was of course, until a loud shout rang throughout the island. "ICARUS NOW!" A burst of motion happened and in a second, three things happened.
One was that Icarus dropped his camouflage and sprinted away from the Flash's protege.
The second was that Gohan jumped onto said dragon's back and pulled out a senzu bean, before crushing it and depositing it into Icarus' mouth.
The third and final thing was that the dragon's would healed and spread and flapped his gargantuan wings, creating a gust wind that pushed Kid Flash and the rest of the newly arriving team off of their feet, and propelled himself and his master into the air, hopefully to make their escape.
However just as things were looking up for the duo, Gohan noticed an odd looking red ship was in hot pursuit of him and his friend, along with the fact that there were multiple more, some very powerful, ki's that were also coming from different directions at a pace that he could only beat in Super Saiyan.
Gohan knew that if they wanted any chance of escape, Icarus would need to get rid of any wind resistance and dive to gain speed. The Saiyan climbed up his dragons long neck and patted the side of his neck. "Come on boy you can do this, get rid of the horns." Icarus grunted in response and slowly but surely retracted all of the horns and spikes on his body, save the ones that were permanently on his head.
Gohan could feel the speed slightly increase as Icarus' wings flapped harder and faster than before, but one look behind him told him that it still wasn't enough. Sighing, Gohan knew what he had to do to get away from the League and their sidekicks.
The Saiyan warrior stood from his position on his dragon's back and turned around.
Bio Ship
"What is he doing?" Was a question that was being asked a lot by the occupants of the Bio-Ship.
"Team, do you have any idea of what he is doing?" A voice came over the intercom.
"No we do not Superman." Kaldur answered, not exactly knowing what was going on with the man on the dragon.
There was a moment of silence before Superman came back on the com link. "Wait…" Kaldur looked back to the man on the dragon they were in pursuit of, and noticed that his entire body seemed to be glowing.
"...I've seen this kind of attack before…" The man spread his feet out past his shoulders before putting his arms straight out of his sides.
"...Team get out of there…" Electricity came from the man's body, scorching a newly arriving Captain Marvel's body and evaporating some of the water they were over. He shoved both of his hands forward in a cupping motion. The man took in a deep breath, almost as if he was getting ready to shout something.
"FINAL FLASH!"
A gargantuan orange, yellow beam of raw energy was released from the man's hands, flying straight towards the Bio-Ship and a collection of heros flying near it.
"WONDER WOMAN, LANTERN!" Superman bellowed over the com-link.
Wonder Woman quickly dashed in front of the ship and crossed her arms in front of her in an attempt to block the world buster blast that was coming straight for her. The blast impacted her arm braces, and pushed her back at an alarming rate. The Bio-Ship just barely dodged the blast and hero as they shot past.
Green Lantern saw his comrade fail to stop the beam and immediately shot into action. He flew at top speed to the dragon and the figure, who had stopped firing the large blast instead opting for much smaller tear drop shaped blasts.
John Stewart formed an energy bubble around the man and his dragon, stopping the volley of blasts, and the forward movement of the dragon. The Bio-Ship and multiple heros that had been chasing the man surrounded him in a circle, leaving no room for escape, including a very pissed off looking Wonder Woman.
Only one thing was heard throughout the almost silent area.
"Aww crap baskets."
WatchTower
23:47
Gohan's eyes slowly opened to reveal the extremely beautiful, yet very pissed off face of Diana Prince, aka Wonder Woman, standing over him. He shrugged it off as a bad dream before closing his eyes again and attempting to go back to the wonderful embrace of sleep, figuring that all of the previous events were just a prank that his wicked little mind decided to play on him.
That was until a hard slap was thrown across his face, jolting him into the world of reality, and leaving a red imprint across his face.
Gohan shot up into a sitting position and tried to move his hands into a defensive stance, but only found that his arms and legs were restrained by a collection of green tendrils made from a foreign green energy.
Accepting that he was not going anywhere, Gohan decided that he would play along with whatever plans the Justice League had for him. His posture visibly relaxed as he leaned back on the green wall that one of the Green Lanterns had provided for him while he was struggling. Gohan observed the surrounding leaguers and their sidekicks.
Some of the more powerful of the heros were in the closest to him, while Batman and Superman conversed in the back with the two Martians. Superman seemed to be defending Gohan, probably remembering him from, what was it 5 years, earlier when Gohan had saved him. While Batman was trying to get the two Martians to read Gohan's mind in an extremely painful way and get all of the answers without the consent of the Saiyan.
Wonder Woman gestured for the two arguing heros to come to her, planning to end their little spout in one move. "I have a solution to your quarrel." She stated, gaining the other's attention in the process. "I can use the Lasso of Truth to gain the answers that you want," She gestured to Batman, "In a non-painful way." Superman slightly nodded his head in agreement to this.
"That would work." Batman agreed. "However, Martian Manhunter would be faster than your method."
Wonder Woman took this as a challenge. "Oh really?" She pulled the golden lasso off of her belt and walked over to the restrained teen. Gohan looked up at her questioningly, not really understanding what she was doing.
Wonder Woman bent over (Much to Green Arrow's pleasure) and wrapped the lasso around the Saiyan's feet. It gave off a golden glow and Gohan felt a strange feeling poking at his insides. Wonder Woman had a confident smirk plastered on her face as she held the end of the lasso, and without warning, Gohan thought of his mother in her position and had to stifle a laugh at the similarity of their characters. The Amazonian saw this and took it as an insult. Letting her hot headed nature take place, she let her anger build without restraint. "Why are you laughing?" She said with anger evident in her voice.
"Laughing? I'm not laughing. Who's laughing." Gohan looked around innocently, earning a snicker from Wally and shocked faces from the others in the room. Shock was also evident on the Amazonian's face. "How did you do that!" She demanded.
"Do what." Gohan honestly had no idea what was going on at this point.
"How did you resist the Lasso of Truth!" She was shaking in frustration at this point.
Gohan easily broke free from the green energy that was holding him in place and grabbed at the golden lasso wrapped around his feet. "You mean this little stringy thingy?" This earned even more shocked faces, no answer, and a howl of laughter from the Flash's apprentice. So Gohan did the only reasonable thing in his situation.
He unwrapped the lasso.
This caused a mass panic as he bolted from the room at a speed that only select few could track. He turned down a random corridor, hoping that he could find his stuff, because his swords meant to much to him to be left behind (He could care less about his clothes, after all he knew Piccolo's "Clothes Beam").
He rounded a corner, and came to an abrupt halt when he saw a door with the label of Confiscated Items on it. Gohan immediately appeared by the door, ramming his shoulder into the metal to bypass the obvious lock that was in place. The door busted down without much resistance and Gohan rushed in, not wanting to be caught by the hero's that he could feel were in pursuit of him.
He dashed around the room and collected all of his items that had, for some reason, been scattered across the room. Quickly stripping from the ugly clothes that had been put on him, Gohan replaced all of his items on his body, getting a comforting feeling from having the two familiar weights strung across his back.
He decided that he would need to locate Icarus and Cell to get a read on where he was for two reasons. Reason one was that Gohan had told Icarus that if they ever get separated, just go straight to Cell. The second being that Cell never left far from the house and GR.
Gohan extended his senses outward as far as he could. His eyes opened in shock when he sensed that he was completely off of the planet. Knowing that he was in a very dangerous place, Gohan ran out of the door as quickly as he could. He rounded the corner that had led him here in the first place and was almost knocked out cold by the superpowered fist that immediately came in contact with his face, sending him flying through more than a couple (unfortunate) walls that all became a large pile of rubble at the base of the fifth wall.
Seconds later a pained groan sounded from said pile of rubble, cursing whoever was attached to that fist. Gohan pushed the broken materials from his body, and slowly sat up, shaking the stray materials out of his hair. He stood to his feet, albit shakily, and glared hardly at the Kryptonian father/ son(?) duo that had caused him to go flying.
Wanting to avoid confrontation and just get back to Earth, Gohan turned from the potential confrontation and fled down the hall after firing a weak ki blast at the floor to cause a small explosion.
"I'm not letting him get away again." Superboy recklessly charged through the smoke at the Saiyan teen.
"Superboy wait!" The elder Kryptonian yelled after his clone. The teen did not heed his warning and continued on his path through the smoke. Superman sighed and shook his head before holding his communicator to his mouth. "Wonder Woman, Faora. I have found the boy by the weapons room, pursuing."
An immediate response from Wonder Woman came over the com link. "Got it Superman, I'm on my way. Do not lose him!" She said the last part with a firm tone, making Clark shiver at the thought of losing the boy. He took off after the two teens in a flurry of red and blue.
However one thing still bugged him.
Where was Faora?
With Gohan
July 23 00:04
Gohan had easily lost the two Supers and was now stealthily making his way to the Watchtower's hanger bay so he could easily fly to Earth, go home and get some rest because the stupid leauge always had to be trying to find him. Because some peace was just too much to ask for in this little life of his.
Gohan was jerked out of his musing at the echoing sound of rapid footsteps clicking down the hall. Frantic for a place to hide, Gohan shot into a nearby room and quietly closed the door as to not alert the hero in the hallway if his presence.
The rushing of a fast moving person could be heard outside the door as they ran past the Saiyan's hiding place, earning a sigh of relief from the teen.
Deciding to familiarize himself with his surroundings, Gohan turned from the door and looked around the rather spacious room. It was obviously a bedroom for one of the league members if they ever needed it, or actually lived in the satellite, that was something Gohan would not know at this point in time.
There was a large, queen sized bed in the far right corner of the room with a large walk in closet next to it. The room was also painted a brownish, almost moca like color that gave the room a warm, cozy type feel. A white door stood directly across from him, but in an extreme act of stupidity, the Saiyan did not pay it any mind.
Gohan also noticed the soft touch of classical music playing in the area and contently listened to it, lightly swaying to the beautiful music accompanied by the calming sound of rushing water.
'Wait…'
Gohan's eyes widened considerably as the water shut off with a high pitched squeal.
'Crap baskets'
He turned around and reached for the doorknob, but was immediately stopped by the loud knocking sound that came from said object.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
'Double crap baskets.'
He frantically looked around the room with an unkempt urgency in an attempt to find a place to hide or better yet, a place to get out.
The knocking continued, and consistently became louder.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Don't shit yourself Bats," An obviously feminine voice yelled from behind the white door. "I'm coming." Sounds of rustling and multiple hushed profanities came from the same place, before the door started to creak open.
Gohan dove under the bed as quickly as he could, just barely making it before a rather beautiful woman with short, dark hair exited the, what he presumed to be, bathroom with a pair of sweatpants and a plain white T-shirt on. Gohan also didn't fail to notice that her power level was on par with Superman (somebody who had been a consistent pain in the ass for Gohan).
She went to the door and answered it, revealing Batman and a rather worried looking Superman. "What's up guys?" She said cheerfully.
"Faora, how can you be so carefree? There is an intruder running around the Watchtower." Superman inquired with the worry present in his voice.
"And he killed Zod." Batman added.
Faora's expression and cheerfulness did not fade; however, she did gain a sly smirk on her face. "Oh you mean," She blasted her bed into oblivion with her heat vision, revealing Gohan with a deer in headlights look on his face. "... this intruder." Her smirk grew with Batman and Superman's mouth-hanging-open look.
Gohan regained his senses and quickly stood to his feet and cleared his throat. "Well if you will excuse me…" He took a step forward. "I will be on my way." He entered super speed and rushed past Faora, who now sported a the shocked look her comrades had earlier, and slid under the other two heroes before they could react. The Saiyan used his hands to spring into a standing position and shot down the hallways at Mach 7 speeds.
The three heros he left behind immediately followed him, with Batman jumping on Superman's back so he could get there quicker.
WatchTower
00:23
Gohan slammed the WatchTower's hangar bay door, causing a large boom to echo throughout the massive room, also stopping his pursuers for the moment. He dashed to the control panel and hit the large red button that opened the large hangar doors. Quickly running to the ever growing opening, he ignored the loud banging on the door behind him.
Said door burst open in a flurry of metal and concrete as a determined Superman finally plowed through it.
Gohan turned his attention back to the now fully opened hatch to the outside and sped on with twice the determination to escape now that the League was close. Gohan jumped out of the exit and let gravity over take him as he plummeted down to the surface of the Earth.
Gohan could feel Superman, Faora, and Wonder Woman in pursuit of him and used his ki to propel him faster in the opposite direction of his home. Gohan knew that if he went towards his home, Cell would attempt to fight the heroes that were following him, and Gohan did not want to explain to the world why three of the most powerful beings on the planet were dead in the mountains by their old base.
"Stop Gohan, we only want to talk!" The teen could hear Faora yell from behind him.
"Is that why I was tied up in your base while you planned to have my mind read?" Gohan fired back immediately, speeding up his flight path even further, threatening to leave the heros in the dust.
Gohan was just flying over the city of Cincinnati when a huge force made contact with his back, sending him plummeting into the downtown area of the city, where a 3 Doors Down concert was happening. He landed in the middle of the crowd, blowing the spectators back, and shocking the band out of their music.
Gohan groaned and sat up from his position on the ground. "That's been happening a lot hasn't it?" He asked to no one in particular. He looked up into the sky to see Wonder Woman floating in the air with her arms crossed over her large breast plate. She had a scowl on her face as Gohan stood up, seemingly unaffected by her surprise attack.
Gohan could see the challenge in her eyes as his leg muscles tensed in anticipation for his jump to the sky. The ground cracked under the pressure he was putting on it, showing the amount of power he possessed. Wonder Woman sensed his movement preparations and responded in kind, preparing to counter his assault.
In a burst of motion, Gohan shot into the air, destroying the asphalt under his feet, and creating a huge BOOM that shook the entire city. Diana Prince responded to the action and did a maneuver that looked extremely similar to his.
When Gohan was halfway to his target, he yelled out two words that would forever change this battle.
"Aura Spark!"
Bio-electricity surged across his entire body as his power took a huge jump, along with his speed, in which he seemingly disappeared from Wonder Woman's view.
The Amazonian felt like her arm was going to be pulled out its socket when Gohan grabbed it and spun her around before throwing her into the ground where he had been earlier.
The bio-electricity disappeared from his person as did his power boost. Sweat dripped from his forehead as the strain from the power boost took its minor toll. The Aura Spark was a technique only he could use, because it brought out a small amount of his hidden potential, multiplying his power by five. The only two downsides were that the strain was that of the Kaioken (from what his father had told him), and that it brought out some of the primal instincts from the Oozaru form.
Gohan's head snapped to the side as an enormous blow caught his right cheek, sending him tumbling through the air. The Saiyan stopped himself after a rather jarring ride across the city just in time to dodge Wonder Woman's next attempt at hitting him through the air. He grabbed her extended fist and used it as an anchor to pull her into a jarring uppercut which sent her flying in a manner extremely similar to his before.
Gohan pointed his hand to the sky and a ball of white energy formed in the extended limb. 'Whelp, here we go.' He pulled his arm back and flung the energy ball into the sky in one fluid motion. Gohan was only resorting to this because one, he did not want to show off Super Saiyan yet. And two, he knew he needed a greater power boost than five to be on par with Wonder Woman and the other Leaguers.
The small ball of light burst in the sky silently and created a light show akin to fireworks.
Wonder Woman glared at the energy blast quizzically, wondering what it was for, as did the arriving Kryptonians that landed near her.
"This is going to be fun." Gohan looked into the light show, causing his tail to immediately twitch with anticipation. A heavy drumming sound echoed across the now silent city as his blood rushed in frenzy. His eyes turned a sinister red and his canines elongated. He grew an extra two feet and his body hair became slightly thicker. His power also took a huge boost, as him using the Aura Spark earlier had amplified the amount of power he could intake with this transformation.
Gohan let out a breath he didn't know he had been holding in. "Ah, partial transformations, you've gotta love 'em." A deeper voice than his own rang out. He flexed his hands and rubbed his shoulders. "But, even with all of their benefits." He looked straight at the three heroes who faced him.
"They make me really want to rip you apart."
END
Okay I am really sorry for the huge wait, and I know that this chapter may seem confusing, but I just wanted to jump straight to the main plot and skip the 4 chapters that would have come before this of Gohan and Cell training together and the League looking like idiots because they can't find a tailed teenager who can destroy solar systems.
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!
I am in desperate need of a cover picture for this story because some random guy PM'd me about how he didn't like my picture and wanted me to take it down. I told him to insert bleep off and he spammed my message box so I don't want to deal with that right now. So if anybody can draw, and would do that for me, I would love you forever and ever.
But here are the power levels in case you were wondering.
