Chapter 2: The Merger

Age 760

Gohan was outside watching his dad fish for dinner. He was playing with the insects and birds around the lake.

"Okay Gohan I'm going to catch a big one just for you!" Goku exclaimed.

Gohan smiled and nodded. "Yeah catch a big one daddy!"

Goku widened his cheesy smile and gave a thumbs up. He then lowered his head in the lake to find a fish to feed his family.

Meanwhile something was heading straight for Gohan. He looked up and saw a faint glow in the sky.

"Oohh so pretty!" Gohan said as he stared up at the glow. He didn't know what it was, but he was mesmerized. It started flying towards him, but he was so captivated that he didn't try to run. The glow covered his body from head to toe. Gohan didn't know what was happening. He had a shocked and scared expression on his face as he started crying. He stopped when he felt the glow's warmth. He didn't know why but he felt relaxed by it. His vision started to go blurry as he passed out and hit the ground. To anyone else it would appear that the toddler just fell asleep while playing.

Goku raised his head and took a deep breath as he came up from the river. He held the fish up in the air to show his son. "Hey Gohan look at size of this one!" He looked around only to see his son sleeping on the soft grass. He smiled tenderly at his son. "He must of tuckered himself out." Goku put his clothes on and tied the fish on the end of a rope to drag it home. He tied the other end of the rope to his waist and picked up the body of his sleeping son. Goku proceeded to walk home with his son in his arms. Little did he know that Gohan would be changed forever.

(Later that day in Gohans body)

Little toddler Gohan thought he was having a dream. He was walking, but all he saw was a dark void.

"Mommy I'm scared." Gohan said as he continued to tremble as he walked.

"Don't be scared. We are here to help you." he heard a voice say.

He turned to see who the voice belonged too. He saw two guys in the same gi as his father. One of the guys had a scar on his face and short hair. most of his hair was down except for a few spikes sticking out on the left side and a few locks that hung over his face. He had a rough look on his face. The other man had a softer look on his face. His hair wasn't too short or too long. It was also spiked up.

"Who are you? Why are you in my dream?" Young Gohan asked as he backed up trembling.

774 Gohan knelt down on one knee and had a warm smile on his face. "Hey its okay. There is no need to be scared. I know this is hard to believe, but my name is Gohan. The scary guy behind me is also Gohan. I know this might be confusing for someone as young as you to understand, but we are the future versions of you."

"Future versions of me?"

780 Gohan nodded. "We are from alternate timelines."

Young Gohan looked confused. "Why are you here?"

774 looked a little depressed after that question. "My timeline is utterly ruined. Its all been destroyed. Even the after life got destroyed. There is nothing left. I would've been destroyed too if I wasn't sent back here. I'm here to help you and guide you through your life.

780 Gohan nodded. "In my timeline there were killer androids. They destroyed everyone and anything they came across. I didn't kill them, but I weakened them enough for my friend to kill them although it cost me my life. Technically what I did was considered suicide and that's a taboo, so if I stayed in my timeline I would be going to Hfil. Everyone I know is dead or will be dead anyway and I can't do a damn thing to help."

"So both of your timelines were destroyed?" Gohan asked.

Both of the older Gohans nodded. "In a nutshell yeah. We were summoned here to help you. We want to make sure that the same thing that happened in our timelines won't happen in your timeline. We will guide you and help you, but only if you accept." 774 Gohan said.

780 Gohan crossed his arms. "If you accept us then you will change. You will take on some of our mannerisms. You will most likely become alot more serious, but you will become a lot more powerful. This is your choice. We won't force you to do this, but we highly recommend this."

Gohan was still confused. "Will I understand everything if I do this? What happens to you if I say no?"

774 Gohan smiled sadly. "We will be sent back to our timelines if you say no. I don't want you to do this for us. Either way I'm fine with your decision."

Gohan bit his lip. 'I can't send them back. One will go to hfil. I don't know what that is, but it sounds bad. The other won't exist if he goes back.' Gohan nodded. "I accept the both of you. You are me, so I know you're not lying or trying to deceive me. This is all very weird though.

The older Gohans smiled and held their hands out. Young Gohan grabbed their hands with his own causing a bright light to emit.

"Remember to keep this to yourself for now Gohan. Don't tell anyone and keep the band that's on your wrist on at all times. Don't let anyone take it off." This was the last thing Gohan heard as he woke up. He found himself in his room on his bed.

"Was that a dream? No it couldn't have been." He turned his hand into a fist and relaxed it. He repeated this a few times. "I feel strong." He looked at his wrist and saw a small red band there. "I wonder what this is for? They told me not to take it off, so it must be important."

"Gohan time for dinner!" Chi Chi yelled from downstairs. Gohan ran down and ate along with his mother, father and little sister. While he was eating Gohan was thinking of asking his father to train him until he saw a few visions. The visions were actually memories of the other 2 Gohans. He saw how his mom harped on him to study and hated the idea of training. 'Well I can't ask dad to train me. Mom will never allow it. I guess I'll have to learn from my other selves.'

To his parents it looked like he was zoning out. "Gohan? Gohan?" Goku said as he waved a hand in front of his sons face. Gohan snapped out of it and looked at his father. "Are you okay son?

Gohan nodded and smiled. "Yeah I'm fine daddy. Is it okay if I go to bed early. I'm feeling really sleepy."

Chi Chi smiled. "Of course you can, but I want you studying as soon as you get up tomorrow morning."

Gohan nodded and finished his food. "Good night mommy. Good night daddy." He got up from his chair and walked ruffled his little sisters hair with a warm smile on his face. " Good night Chiku."

Chiku smiled widely as she jumped up to hug him. "Night Han."

Gohan chuckled. "I guess that nicknames gonna stick huh?"

He walked up to his room, got into bed and closed his eyes. When he opened them again he saw his future selves.

"Hi future me's. It will be kind of confusing if I call both of you Gohan, so what should I call you?" Gohan said.

780 Gohan tilted his head to the side. "That's a good question. I would have to think on that."

774 Gohan grinned. "Well I had an undercover name when I was a super hero."

Young Gohans eyes widened as he gave a huge smile. "You were a super hero?"

774 Gohan smirked. "I was. I protected the city from evil. I took down any evil doer that dared to commit a crime. I was the one and only...Great Saiyaman!" He said as he did various poses.

780 Gohan sweat dropped. "Please tell me you didn't actually do that in public."

"I did. I had a super hero disguise on though."

Gohan beamed. "I'll get to be a super hero!"

780 Gohan frowned. "Hopefully you'll grow out of that super hero phase. Either way you're not dressing like a dork and doing poses like that. Now back to the name situation."

774 Gohan smiled when an idea came to him. "Why not call you Majunior?"

"Majunior?" Both Gohans said trying to think on the reason behind the strange name.

"In my timeline Piccolo used that name as his alias in the world martial arts tournament. I think its a good fit for you."

780 Gohan smiled. "Majunior. Its starting to grow on me. I like it, but what are you going to use for your name. I'm sure as hell not calling you Saiyaman."

774 Gohan tapped his chin with his index finger in thought. "Hmmm. I guess mystic is a good name. I have a form that goes beyond my super saiyan forms. Its called my mystic form, so Mystic is a good name for me. "

"Super saiyan? Whats that?" Young Gohan asked.

Mystic waved his hand. "You'll find out later."

Gohan nodded. "So Mystic and Majunior huh? I like those names. Can I ask you another question.

Majunior smiled."Shoot little man."

"What were those images I saw at the dinner table. They came right when I was about to ask my daddy to train me."

"They were memories. Memories of how crazy mom gets when I mention training around her. She hates the idea of me training." Mystic said as Majunior nodded in agreement.

"So how will I get stronger?" Gohan asked.

"Well you're already strong. Believe it or not, but you are stronger than dad at the moment. You just need to learn how to use your power. Most of your training for the next year will be how to control your ki and learning fighting stances and forms. The basics of everything." Majunior answered.

Mystic nodded in agreement. "You'll have to do it in private though."

Gohan looked terrified. "But mom will get mad. She wants me to study."

Mystic smiled. "I'll just share all the memories I have of me studying. After I do that you'll know any answer to any question in any book that she gives you."

"You'll have to sneak out to train too. I guess we can do a lot of your training at night. That way you won't have to worry about anyone interrupting you." Majunior said.

Mystic nodded. "Yeah on every night except a full moon night."

Majunior chuckled. "I forgot about that to be honest."

Gohan looked confused. "Whats wrong with the full moon?"

"Nothing just never look at one." Mystic and Majunior said at the same time.

"Okay I guess." Gohan said still not sure what the big fuss was about.

So how do I bring out my ki? I learned what it is, but I still don't know how to bring it out."

Mystic walked up and put his hand on Gohans head. "I'll share my memories with you for the studying and ki lessons. I had to teach a girl I knew, so this memory should explain all about ki and how to use it.

"Why not just share all your memories?" Gohan asked after receiving the memories.

Majunior shook his head. "That would overload your brain. You wouldn't want to see all my memories anyway. You're too young. I don't know how bad Mystics life was, but I know he has memories that are too much for you as well."

Mystic nodded. "You said you learned what ki is, but neither of us have shown you any memories until now. I sure didn't know at this age. Did you Majunior?"

"Not at all. I didn't learn about it until the training with Piccolo." Majunior said as he thought back.

"I don't know how I know what it is, but I know. I didn't know until after after I accepted the both of you though. Its weird, but I know what it is." Gohan said as he thought about it. "You also said something about a band on my wrist. What is it."

Majunior grinned. "It hides your power level. It only shows a fraction of your power so people won't know how strong you are."

Gohan once again looked confused. "Why do I need to hide my power?"

"We don't want to change too much from your timeline. Only a few things. We want to make everything better for you. If everyone knows how strong you are they will get suspicious and will find out about us. They might rely on your power more than they should. Things will change drastically and thats not what we want." Majunior answered.

"Okay I think I get it. How can I visit you guys without falling asleep."

Majunior thought about it. "Try meditating. Clear your mind of everything. Focus on us and it might work."

Gohan nodded. "Okay I'll give it a try."

"Majunior do you have any memories you can give him right now that will help him with his training before he leaves?" Mystic asked.

Majunior put his hand on Gohans head. "Yeah I have a few where I was training trunks my stance and how to fight. I'll share that with you." He said as he transferred the memories.

Gohan took in the information and smiled. "Well I guess I'll see you guys later."

"Wait!" Mystic yelled. "Did Garlic Jr already attack?"

Gohan looked confused. "Who's Garlic Jr?"

Majunior sighed. "Lets put it this way. Has someone kidnapped you before? A short blue ugly man."

Gohan nodded. "Yeah, but daddy defeated him. I don't remember what happened that much though. Its a good thing they only took me and not Chiku."

This time it was Majunior and Mystic that looked confused. "Who's Chiku?" They both asked at the same time.

"Chiku is my sister. You're both me so you should know her."

Mystic shook his head. "I had a little brother, but I didn't have a sister in my timeline. Did you Majunior?"

Majunior shook his head also. "No I didn't. I was an only child. How old is she?"

Gohan held out two fingers. "She's two."

"I guess this timeline is a little different. It doesn't change anything though. Just make sure when things happen you keep her off the battle field." Mystic said. "Its dangerous enough with you there. We don't want her to be apart of it too."

Gohan nodded. "Thank you for everything. I'm going to go train right now. Bye guys!"

"Bye Gohan. Be careful." Mystic said with a smile and wave.

"Good luck with your training young me." Majunior said with a half smile.

Gohan awoken and looked over at the clock. It read 12:30 am. 'Well I guess I should start my training.' Gohan thought as he opened his window and jumped out. 'I'll start with learning to release my ki. From the memory I just have to meditate and push the energy to the palm of my hands.' Gohan ran off towards the middle of the forest. He stopped when he found the lake that he was at earlier with his father. He sat down and got into lotus position. 'Feel for the energy in the center of your body. Concentrate and pull the energy out with your hands.' It took about 2 hours but Gohan was able to draw his ki from his body. 'Now I have to just learn to control it. To control it I have to learn to pull energy out of my body with ease.' He sat there for another hour pushing his ki out into his hands. 'Hmm. Maybe I should start firing off ki blast.' Gohan pushed his ki out and made small ki blasts the size of a baseball in his hands. He aimed his palms at a tree and shot both his ki blast at it. The blast hit the tree and put two holes in it. 'That was small and weak. I'll try putting more energy into the blasts.' He pushed ki into only one hand this time. He poured more energy into it until the blast was a little bigger than the size of a basketball. He shot it at the tree and when the blast hit it exploded the tree to splinters. 'Whoa! I did that? I still feel like I have a lot of power left in my body. I wonder how big I can make a blast? I'll try it later. First I want to really learn how to fly. Now how do I do that again?' He closed his eyes to see the memories of Mystic. He saw how he was teaching a girl to fly. 'Okay all I have to do is push the energy under me. I have to use it to fly.' He started concentrating on using his energy to fly. He opened his eyes to see himself floating. "Man this is great! Its easier than I thought it would be." He took about thirty more minutes to practice flying. He was soon zooming through the air. "Man this is awesome! This is the most fun I've ever had!" Gohan floated back to the ground. "I guess it's time to go back home. Mom and Dad should be getting up soon and if I'm not back Chiku will start looking for me."

Gohan ran to his house and inside to take a shower. He decided to lay down in his bed until his parents got up. He closed his eyes and in seconds he dozed off. He opened his eyes to see Mystic and Majunior grinning at him.

"So did you have fun flying?" Mystic asked.

Gohan nodded his head with a huge grin on his face. "It was great! I never had so much fun in my life!"

Majunior chuckled. "I'm glad you had fun. How about ki control? How do you feel about it."

"I feel pretty confident. I'm getting the hang of it easily. What else will you teach me?

Majunior tapped his chin with his index finger. "Hmm. For now keep working on ki control and flying for the rest of this month. Next month you'll learn basic fighting skills like your stance, kata's, etc. Mom and Dad are usually asleep by 10:00 pm. Dad usually trains from 5am to 9am, so you will train from 11pm to 3am. When you get back home you'll bath then sleep. The rest of the day you act like a kid, have fun, and spend time with your family.

"So what am I training for? I know you're both from different timelines, but is mine different from yours?" Gohan asked.

"Well Majuniors time, my time and yours is all similar for the first few years. It will change when you're around 8, then your timeline will be like mine only. Yours will be different though if we change certain things. There will be things you'll want to change, but you can't. You have to trust us. Some things need to happen. You don't understand now, but you will in the future." Mystic answered.

"You're training for a lot of different battles you will be apart of." Majunior added.

Gohan looked confused. "If I'll be apart of a lot of different battles why don't I train more often?"

Mystic put a hand on young Gohans shoulder. "We want you to enjoy your childhood. Majunior and I didn't really have that luxury. I tried to enjoy mine when I was a teenager, but all I did was study. I didn't really live my life to its full potential. We want you to be different. We want you to have more fun then we had. You'll be strong smart and still have your childhood. Like we said we only want whats best for you."

Gohan nodded with a smile. "I trust you two. You are me after all." He disappeared from both of their views.

Mystic smiled. "Looks like he woke up."

Majunior frowned. "You know we have a problem right? Gohan is going to want to save Piccolo from Nappa."

Mystic dropped his smile as well. "I know. I don't blame him, but as sad as it is Piccolo needs to die there. Him dying gave us the need to go to namek. It fuel both of us to be braver and fight harder. It gave Piccolo the redemption he needed and It gave all of our friends a reason to whole heartedly trust and believe in him. Its important for him to go, but I hate that it has to happen."

Majunior nodded with a sad smile. He put his hand on Mystics shoulder. "It was tough on us to see him die. He was like a second father. He was definitely our first friend.

Mystic smiled as well. "Yeah he was. So how do we convince Gohan to let him sacrifice himself?"

Majunior smirked. "I found a way. We need to train our minds though. We both have our souls fused with young Gohan, so we should be able to control the body to some extent. That's what we'll train to do."

Mystic sighed. "I hate to do this to young Gohan, but if he doesn't listen we'll have to do this as a last resort. Lets start training."

Gohan awoke to the smell of breakfast. He ran downstairs to see his mother cooking while his father tried to steal a piece of bacon. Chiku was playing with her toys in the living room and he decided to join her. After a few minutes breakfast was ready. He ate with them as usual until his mother sent him upstairs to study. He opened his book and realized that he knew everything the book said already because of the memories of Mystic. He took the test Chi Chi gave him and went outside to play.

The next few months. went on like this. Gohan would sometimes nap or meditate when he was suppose to be studying. He even helped Chiku with her studying. Chi Chi never bothered him when he studied since he got 100% on every test he took. It also helped that he finished each test fairly quickly. When he wasn't studying he was playing with his sister, father, or both. At nights Gohan would train. He finally was able to control his ki very well. He was now working on Kata's, how to block, dodge, parry hits, and strike back as well. His form was great and only getting better. He was getting stronger and stronger the more time went on. What he didn't know was that he would be putting his strength to the test earlier than expected.

A/N: That's chapter 2 of Soul Synchronizing. I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I hope you like the names I picked for Gohan's future counterparts.

DestinyMason: I'm glad you liked the chapter! Update has been accomplished!

sunshineyday: Thank you!

Zekbolt55: Thanks I try my best!

Reishin Amara: I like that idea. I think it would be hilarious if that happens.

TS25: Thanks I thought so too. I try to make the stories as different from each other as I can. Gohan will start to inherit the personalities of both his future counterparts as the story progresses. Everything will go okay at first, but both of Gohans future counterparts will start to disagree on what to change and what not to change causing friction with each other.

SoroTheAndroid: Thanks! I hope you like this chapter as well.

Democracy Prime: It has been updated! Your wish has been granted!
