Chapter 4: Taking back the crown

The mountain area was tranquil. The birds were chirping a happy melody. The wind blowing started swaying the tree tops from one direction to the next. All was peaceful especially in the Son house hold. Chi Chi, Goku, and Chiku were fast asleep. A few miles away from the house was a little boy. This little boy was moving at speeds that would leave Goku flabbergasted. Mostly because Goku didn't even know his son could do any of these things. Gohan was fazing in and out. His fist were flying so fast it look like he had one hundred fist. His feet were moving just as fast every time he threw a kick. It looked like he was fighting an invisible enemy, but he was merely testing and improving the speed of his attacks. He threw one last punch and pointed his hand towards a tree. A light started shining in his hand until it was the size of a basketball. He released his ki, but it never hit the tree. He fazed in front of his blast and smacked it upwards. The ball of ki went flying in the sky, but Gohan fazed in front of it again and smacked it to the side. Every time he hit the ki ball, he would intercept it again and hit it in a different direction. He kept repeating this exercise moving faster and faster each time. He finally smacked it towards a tree making it explode into several pieces.

Gohan face palmed as he realized his mistake. "I think I over did it a little. Its a good thing dad is a heavy sleeper. Maybe I should check to make sure I didn't wake mom, or Chiku. "Gohan said as he closed his eyes. He focused on the ki of his family and could feel a startled Chi Chi.

Son Household

Chi Chi was startled when she felt the ground rumble a little. It woke her up and she was a tad bit frightened. She looked over to see her husband still sleeping peacefully. "Goku wake up!" She said frustrated while shaking him. 'How on earth could he sleep through that!'

Goku's eyes fluttered open. "Chi Chi? Whats wrong?

"There was a loud noise and the house started shaking. I want you to check it out while I go check on the kids." Chi Chi said as she got up. She walked out the door and started walking towards Chiku's room.

Gohan opened his eyes and gasped. He could feel his mother walking to his sisters room. "I gotta get home quick!" Gohan started running as fast as his legs would carry him. He was dashing through the tree's with ease. He was so close. The house was right in his vision.

Chi Chi walked into to Chiku's room to see her fast asleep. She smiled as she walked in and placed a kiss to her forehead. She walked out and gently closed the door. She started walking towards Gohans room. She opened his door. "Gohan? What are you doing?" She asked when she saw him looking out the window with the covers draped over him.

Gohan looked at her and smiled. "I heard a loud noise that woke me up. I wanted to see what it was." He saw his father walking out towards the forest. "Is daddy going to check what it was?"

Chi Chi nodded. "I'm sorry that woke you honey. How about I go warm you up some milk to help you get back to sleep."

Gohan nodded with a huge grin on his face. "Thanks mommy."He walked over and got inside his bed while Chi Chi walked out to get him some milk. When she closed the door Gohan let out a sigh of relief. "That was close! I'll have to bathe and change clothes when mom goes to sleep. I can't slip up like that again. Hopefully dad doesn't find my training spot. Its a mess over there." His eyes lightened up with an idea. He whistled and waited for a moment. Icaurs came flying to the window still taped up from his injuries. "Hey Icarus I need you to d a favor for me."

Goku was wandering in the forest. "I don't what the big fuss is about. It was probably just an earthquake." He said with a yawn. "If I don't look hard enough though Chi Chi will be mad. She might even take my breakfast." Goku kept walking into the forest. He saw a scorch mark on a tree and scratched his head in confusion. "I don't remember training over here. I don't practice my Kamehameha wave over here either, it can't be mine. Maybe Piccolo was here. No I would've felt it. Goku kept walking until he found some tree's with holes in them from Gohans attacks. "Weird. Is someone training here? I don't think Chi Chi is and I haven't taught Gohan or Chiku anything. This is so strange. Whats going on here. He kept walking until he saw Icarus blowing fire on the tree's. The smaller fire attacks left scorch marks while the bigger ones blew holes through them. "Icarus? What are you doing buddy?" Goku leaned down and patted his head with a friendly smile on his face. "Aww your training to get stronger huh? You might want to rest though. You're still injured. Come on I'll carry you back to the house."

Goku set Icarus down in his own little dragon home that was built for him. He walked into his house and found Chi Chi in Gohans room. "Hey Chi Chi. I found out where the noise was coming from."

Chi Chi took the glass from Gohan after he finished his milk. "What was it Goku?"

Goku chuckled. "It was Icarus. He was blowing fire balls at tree's and he must of made one topple over. The little guy must be trying to train."

Chi Chi scowled. "I knew it was a bad idea to keep him around. When he's one hundred percent healthy, he is out of here."

Gohan sighed in relief. 'Good boy Icarus. I owe you big time.' He thought to himself.

A few hours later Chi Chi was downstairs cooking breakfast while Gohan played with Chiku. Goku was outside training when he heard the sound of a hover car coming towards the house. He put his hand on his forehead to block out the sun and see who was in the car. He smiled brightly when he noticed it was his father in law. Ox king parked his car and turned it off in a hurry. He jumped out of his car and walked up to his son in law.

"Goku my boy its been ages! How have you been." He said as he pulled Goku in a rather tight hug. After releasing him Goku chuckled a bit.

"Man you're grip is as good as ever. I've been well Ox King how have you been?" Goku responded.

"I've been doing great, but how many times have I told you to call me dad."

Goku laughed sheepishly while scratching the back of his head. "Sorry its just a little weird calling you that. Even after all this time."

Ox King smiled. "Well no matters. I will always think of you as my son. Now where's Chi Chi? I have some great news for the two of you."

"She's cooking breakfast. Why don't you join us dad." Goku said the last part a little awkwardly.

The Ox King however didn't find it awkward at all. He was elated. "Sure thing. I can't wait to tell you the news."

They walked in the house seeing Chi Chi cook loads of food.

"You're done training already Goku?" Chi Chi said without turning around when she heard the door open.

"Actually your dad stopped to pay us a visit." Goku answered watching his wife turn around with a huge smile on her face.

"Hi dad! How have you been?" Chi Chi said as she walked over to hug him before going back to the food she was cooking.

"I've been well Chi Chi. I hope you don't mind if I join you for breakfast. I have some good news to discuss with you and what better way to discuss news than over a nice breakfast."

"Its no bother at all dad. We're happy to have you join us. The food will be done in a couple of minutes. Goku can you set the table." Chi Chi asked receiving a nod from her husband. "Dad can you get the kids for me? They should be upstairs playing."

Ox King grinned. "Sure thing Chi Chi!" He walked upstairs to see a room with the door cracked. He peeped in to see his two grandchildren playing house.

"Gohan you have to kiss the baby goodnight! That's what the daddy is suppose to do." Chiku argued.

Gohan groaned. "Chiku I don't want to play house."

Chiku glared. "Well too bad. You're the daddy and I'm the mommy. You have to listen to me."

Gohan sweat-dropped. "That doesn't even make sense."

Chiku turned her head in confusion. "But momma tells daddy what to do. I thought that's what the mommies do?"

Gohan chuckled. "You know I can't even fault you for that logic. That's all you've ever seen." He leaned down and kissed the doll baby on the forehead. "There I kissed the baby. Now can we be done with this game."

Chiku shook her head. "No we're suppose to kiss now."

Gohans eyes widened. "What!" He yelled out in shock.

"Mommy and daddy always kiss. That's what mommies and daddies do and right now I'm the mommy and you're the daddy!" Chiku said innocently.

Gohan shook his hands defensively while his face went red in embarrassment."No! No!No! No!No! No!No! No! You have that all wrong. I'm not kissing you."

Chiku glared at him as hard as she could. "Yes you are!" She stared him down trying to intimidate him.

Gohan glared back at her. "I'm not caving this time. I'm not kissing you and that's final."

Chiku dropped her glare as her eyes started to tear up. She started fake sobbing as she turned away from her brother.

Gohan dropped his glare and looked sympathetic. "Come on Chiku don't cry." He tried to put his hand on her shoulder, but she shrugged it off. "Come on its just a game." He sighed when she refused to listen. "Look only people who are married kiss each other. Mom and dad are married so that's why they do that. We're brother and sister so it would be a little weird to do that." Gohan said trying to explain as best as he could. He was very knowledgeable for being a four year old, but he didn't know anything about this subject.

Chiku stopped her 'crying' and looked at her brother. "So all we have to do is get married?" She asked innocently.

Gohan shook his head. "No that's not what I'm saying." That was all he could get out before he heard laughter at the door. The Ox King fell into the room while holding his sides laughing.

Chiku grinned when she saw him. "Grandpa!" She yelled as she ran over to hug him. The Ox King stood up and pulled his granddaughter into a hug. Gohan did the same and he picked him up as well.

"How's my favorite grandchildren doing today!" He said as he twirled the both of them in the air.

"We're your only grandchildren!" Gohan said with a chuckle.

Ox King smiled. "And that's why you two are my favorite. Now lets go downstairs. Breakfast should be ready by now."

Both Gohan and Chiku jumped out of his arms and ran downstairs leaving a chuckling Ox King.

"They definitely get that from their father." He said as he walked down stairs.

Chi Chi had the whole table set with piles of food for her family. They were all seated and eating peacefully.

"So dad whats the big news you wanted to tell us?" Chi Chi asked.

"Well you know I use to be a King and had a lot of land right?" Ox King started.

Chi Chi nodded. "Yeah, but you lost a lot because of that fire. Even after you had everything rebuilt the fire returned and destroyed. a lot. You even gave the land back to the people, so they wouldn't have to live under a monarchy anymore.

"Yes well the villagers that are left there have talked me into becoming king again. They say that things ran smoother that way and the new system isn't working out too well. They really seem to miss me being at power. So starting today I will start reclaiming lands that I lost or gave away. I will also claim new lands. I will make more agriculture and buildings. If things go smoothly then in a decade I could have one of the biggest kingdoms again and have power that rivals King Furry!" He said excited.

Chi Chi had her mouth open in shock. "That's wonderful news dad! Oh if you need any help don't hesitate to ask!"

"That's not all Chi Chi. You and Goku will be the ones to take over and become king and queen if anything ever happens to me."

Chi Chi's excited face dropped a little. "Well I wouldn't mind that at all, but Goku isn't really king material."

Goku pouted like a kid making Chi Chi chuckle. "Sorry Goku, but its true. I don't think we would be able to take the crown father."

The Ox Kings face fell slightly until he looked at his grandchildren who were stuffing their faces. He smiled brightly. "Well If you and Goku don't want the crown there are a few more who can. Gohan can take it when he becomes of age if he's willing. If he's not then maybe Chiku can when she's of age."

Chi Chi smiled. "That's something we can tackle when the time is right. We can ask him when he's old enough to understand. If you want to give up the crown before he's ready or Kami forbids something happens to you I could stand in until he's ready."

Ox King nodded. "That's perfect Chi Chi."

Chiku looked up deciding to get into the conversation. "Hey mom guess what! Me and Gohan are getting married." She said as Gohan started choking on his food.

Gohans eyes were popping out of his skull. "No we're not!

Chiku glared at him. "Yes we are!"

Gohan looked at his mother with pleading eyes. "Mom please explain to her that we can't do that."

Chi Chi chuckled at their antics. "Chiku sweety you and Gohan can't get married."

Chiku looked at her with sad eyes. "Why not?"

"Well?" Chi Chi started trying to think of a way to explain it. "Two people get married when they love each other."

"But I do love Gohan." Chiku said not understanding.

"I understand that, but you love him a different way. There is two types of love. Family love and the other type of love."

Chiku blinked a few times. "Whats the difference?"

Chi Chi sighed and looked at her husband. "A little help Goku?"

Goku looked between Chiku and Chi Chi. "Well I don't really get the gist of it either. Well I do, but I can't explain it into words."

Chi Chi looked back at her daughter. "I'll explain when you're older, but just know that you can't marry your brother."

Chiku pouted and crossed her arms. "Fine." She relented making Gohan sigh in relief.

Later that night Gohan was asleep. He opened his eyes to see Mystic and Majunior. "Hey guys whats up?"

Majunior smirked. "Oh nothing much. Just watching you trying to explain to Chiku why you can't marry her.

Gohan deadpanned. "You saw all that?"

Mystic nodded holding back a laugh. "Of course. We see everything you see when we want too. What else do you think we do all day?"

Gohan shrugged his shoulders. "I don't really know to be honest. I guess I never thought about what you could and couldn't do."

"Anyway lets talk about something important. When do you go to visit dads friends?" Majunior asked.

"Well its a week from now." Gohan said. "Why whats up?"

Mystic shook his head. "Nothing. I want you meditate and do light training until that day."

Gohan looked confused. "Why is that day so important."

Majunior forced a smile. "Don't worry about it right now. Just focus on your training that we have you on and meditate more."

Gohan nodded. "Will I know more soon enough?"

"Yes you will." Mystic answered. "We'll give you our memories the day before that event. Don't worry its nothing serious."

Gohan smiled and nodded. "Okay. I trust you. I think I want to actually dream tonight though, so I'll see you guys later." He said with a wave as his form disappeared.

Majunior looked at Mystic. "Why did you lie and say its nothing serious."

Mystic sighed. "Its only a week away. I didn't want to scare him. He'll know soon anyway."

"What if things don't work out the way we plan? What if this timeline happens to go down differently. There is already changes with the new sister and Grandpa getting his kingdom back." Majunior asked.

Mystic smiled sadly. "Then we do what we always do. We learn to adapt and overcome."

A/N. Thanks for reading the chapter! I hope everyone enjoyed it. Ox king is taking his crown back. That will play a bigger role later on in the series. Preferably between the seven year gap from Cell to Majin Buu. You will definitely see Raditz next chapter.

iisaw: Thanks that means alot. I'm not to sure about the pairing. I may have it cannon though. I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

Guest: Don't worry about me abandoning my story. I may take a while to update most of them, but I won't abandon it.

ZaynNaz: Thanks a lot! I'm glad you like my story so far. Don't worry I won't have Gohan so OP that he just easily beats everyone. That's never any fun or interesting. I do plan on having Chiku fight a little and maybe even turn super saiyan. The super namekian idea sounds awesome. Maybe I'll use it as a power up state like super saiyan. You have some great ideas, so I hope you don't mind if I use them.
