I raised an eyebrow in mock surprise. "Oh?" The girl stormed up to me with tears in her eyes and shouted in my face, "You did this, didn't you? Your really no different that demon Black I fought for so much of my life! All that stupid fusion did was make you stronger! I hate you! I-"
She broke down midway through her rant, and pitifully fell to the ground, sobbing her eyes out. I looked down at her emotionlessly, feeling nothing for her sadness. Trunks kneeled beside her and awkwardly patted her back. A rivers of tears flowed onto Trunks' jacket as she embraced him, crying into her arms. Wiping her spit off my face, I shook my head in disappointment.
"Do you really think that I would be so cruel as to destroy a helpless and innocent planet, and only just after they were freed from an oppressive force? You must think I am truly heartless. I have loved ones just like you; ones I want to meet. I'm sure you'll figure your problem out. So long."
I jumped into the air and began to fly away from the time machine. Once they were out of sight, a smile creeped onto my face. What I had done was wrong, but right now, I felt nothing but… pure joy.
I couldn't help but the appreciate the beauty of the countryside as I flew past, streams and forests made a pretty scene. Soon enough, though, I was at my house, and I knocked on the front door.
"Goku!" Chi Chi stared at me in complete anger, and began to shout at me, "Where have you been! It has been so long since I last saw you! And why are you dressed like that? Are you going for a new look or something weird?"
Ignoring her questions, I gave her one of my own. "Where's Goten? I want to ask him something." She started yelling at me even louder, about how I don't care about her, and all I do is train to get stronger, but something behind her caught my eye.
I saw a mound of food on the table behind her, I pushed past her, transfixed at the beautiful sight. After a moment of hesitation, I dug into the meal with my hands, grotesquely chewing and slobbering over the delicious meal.
Ugg. I honestly have no idea what was going through my mind. One minute I was there, with manners and all, and the next, I was hypnotized by the food, unable to think of anything but quenching my insatiable hunger. It must have been a bad trait I inherited from Goku.
Anyway, the next thing I remembered was laying on the ground, bits of meat and rice speckled all around and on me. Chi Chi was staring down at me in concern, but a moment later she yelled in my face, "That was supposed to be for all of us!"
She sighed, and beginning to pick up all of the scraps of food, she continued to rant, "Honestly! Between you and Goten, it's a miracle we make a profit! Now tell me," she said turning back to me. "Where. Have. You. Been. Goku."
I groaned. Explaining this story was becoming a hassle, and how I wasn't Goku; it was all just very tiring. Why couldn't the mortals be omniscient, like me? "I am not Goku. He fused with an identical being that had stolen his body in another timeline. Thank you for the food; it was delicious."
While I was talking to her, I searched for Goten's energy. Locking onto it, I told Chi Chi goodbye, and left with Instant Transmission. I suppose I should of just done that from the start. When the world rematerialized around me, I found myself in a field of crops, and Gotan sleeping with a pile of cabbages around him.
"Awahh!" My punch hit him in the stomach and he went flying into a pile of carrots. Shaking his head, he looked at me blearily and yelled, "Oww! What was that for Dad? And," he eyed me head to toe. "Why are you dressed like that?"
I grinned evilly and replied back, "That doesn't matter. You were sleeping on the job. Now you're going to feel my wrath!" All I really wanted to do was train with him, but if I said that, he might not be as motivated. I wanted him to become stronger; he had so much potential, but Chi Chi wasted it.
Of course, I wouldn't say that. Nor was I about to attack him with all of my strength. He would die in a single punch if I did. But that doesn't mean I won't give him the beating of his life! I flew towards him, fist extended, making sure to not hit him too hard.
As the sun rose, I stood over a pile of meat that was groaning. It vaguely resembled the shape of a body, but it was mangled beyond recognition. I sighed as I looked down at it, and I stomped boot into an extended lump.
"Is this all you've got?" The thing gave no reply but moaning even louder as I grinded my heel into what had probably been a leg. I tsked angrily, but a moment later I sighed, and lifted my leg off of it. "Fine. I guess I'll get you a Senzu Bean." Goten would probably die without one; I could barely feel his energy as it was.
Putting my fingers to my forehead, my surroundings blended together until they reformed into Korin's Tower. Making sure no one saw me, I snuck over to the jar of Senzu Beans, and teleported back out without Yajirobe or Korin seeing me.
Lying back down next to what was left of my son I searched for his mouth, and smashing into pieces for him, I shoved it down his esophagus. He let out a sigh of relief as his body repaired itself, and soon enough, he looked human again. Woo-hoo!
Still though, he was unconscious, probably from the whole ordeal and how traumatizing it was, opposed to him still being exhausted. I heard a car driving up, probably Chi Chi. She'd most likely be furious at me, and even with my incredible strength, I wouldn't want to get on her bad side.
Quickly, I grabbed Goten, and I used Instant Transmission to travel back to our house. I changed him out of the threads that remained of his clothes, and laid him down gently on the bed. This isn't the end, I swore that I would make him into one of the strongest warriors this universe had ever seen.
And as I came to this conclusion, I realized that it wasn't just him I wanted to be strong, I also had to have Gohan turn into the formidable warrior that he had once been. So, wasting no time, I used Instant Transmission for the 20th time and materialized on the front step of his and Videl's massive house.
I punched open the front door, and let myself inside. Lavishly sitting on a couch, I raised my energy and waited for him to come. A moment later, he came crashing down through the ceiling, and his fists raised, he regarded me in surprise for a moment. He lowered his arms and asked questioningly "Dad?"
I flew forward and thrust a hand into his stomach. "Not quite." He choked out spit, and raised his arms to where I had hit him. Looking up at me, he asked in confusion, "W-Who are you?" Realization dawned upon him, and he continued without letting me answer, "No… it can't be. Are you… Black?"
I knew that the only way I could bring out his power was by making him angry, so I decided to play along. "The moment I killed your father I realized that death was a mercy for a fool like him. Now I am going to punish his entire family because of his sins. I've already murdered his wife and his other son. Will you give me more of a challenge then those two?"
He looked down at his hands, which were shaking and clenched so hard that blood was flowing out from his palms. He seemed at a loss for words. I continued just as maliciously, "So what will it be? Should I kill your wife and your kid first? Or are you going to die trying to protect them?"
He turned into a Super Saiyan 2 as he yelled at me, "You… You sadistic monster! I'm going to stop you for good." He flew at me, attacking with all his might, his fury evident throughout his face, but it was hopeless.
I dodged every one with ease, and kicked him in an upwards ark, my foot slamming into his jaw. He stumbled backwards, and jumping forward, I grabbed the back of his head and slammed it into the ground. I planted him foot atop his head and arrogantly said, "Is this really the best you can do. A Supreme Kai, a deity brought out your hidden power, and you have forgotten how to access it?
"Maybe if you beg I will spare your life." He knocked my foot off of him, and rolled out from under me. Crouching down, preparing to power up, he yelled at me with rage, "I will never surrender to a demon like you! You may wear my father's skin, but you are nothing like him. I hate you!"
With those last words, his hair darkened back into a black, and his aura turned a translucent white. This was all that I had wanted. With a smile, a genuine one this time, I lowered my arms. Gohan's facial expression didn't change, but I could sense him becoming doubtful through my telepathy.
I began to explain, "I'm not Goku. But I'm not Black either. As a final desperate move, he used the Potara to fuse with Goku, and that created me. I know that what I just did was cruel and rather mean, but had to bring out your full power; seeing you so weak makes me feel sick. Trust me, I'm not all bad. I'm just not all good either.
"Anyway," I finished, clasping my hands together, "I am utterly exhausted, so I'm going back to my house, where Chi Chi and Goten are most certainly alive." I smiled darkly. "I'll be back to train with you soon. Goodbye." With that, I made a final teleport back to my house, and I was immediately assaulted by Chi Chi.
"Now listen up. I'm tired of you doing nothing and taking everything. Now go harvest the rest of the crops Goten didn't." I looked at her with disgust. "You want me to do… a peasant's work? No way." She fumed at me for a second, but then putting on a fake smile, she said, "Fine. But get out."
I starred at her for a moment, and she elaborated how she was kicking me out of the house. Then a moment later, she opened the door, and she literally kicked me out, and slammed the door in my face. I sighed tiredly. All I wanted was some sleep, and now I had no bed.
Cranky and annoyed, I just teleported into one of Bulma's many small homes she had scattered throughout the city, and ignoring even the food, I laid down on a bed and went to sleep instantly.
Sorry that this was a little shorter than normal, I just really want to get into the action of the story, but next chapter should be the start of continuing the anime. However, I'm skipping the Arale episode; I wouldn't be able to have it work with this story.
Also, the Nameless God seemed pretty sadistic in this chapter; he beat his kid into a literal pulp. Not even Piccolo was that harsh on Gohan when he was training him.
Sorry that the update came on Sunday this week, I was just pretty busy and had to work on most of this chapter this weekend. Next week will almost certainly be on Sunday too, I don't think I'll have internet access on Saturday.
PM (Private Message) me of any grammatical errors, and I'll be sure to fix them. I found a few last chapter, so there's probably some in this one too! Leave a Review if you want to say something and/or ask about anything else.
