Bold for beast mode speech

A Welcome Guest

"Hah!" Vegeta shouted as he trained under five hundred times earth's gravity in the gravity machine.

'Gohan has gotten stronger than me yet again. I must keep up!'

"Vegeta." Said a voice on the gravity intercom.

"Yes, Zangya?" Vegeta said as he paused in his training and caught the blast that had been reflected back off of the walls of the chamber.

"Son Gohan has arrived and is here with some of his friends." Zangya said as she sat at the front desk of the Brief building.

'Hmm, I guess I can go and see how his training is progressing and his current state.' Vegeta thought as he returned the gravity chamber to its normal gravity of two hundred and deactivated the attack droids.

"Tell him to wait for me in the sparring arena."

"As you wish."

'She's surprisingly more useful than I realized. Decent sparing partner and smart.' Vegeta thought as they disconnected.

'Let's see how Gohan is coming along with his mate.'

"And this is the exhibit room... Gohan said to his friends as Zangya watched his progress with a smirk.

"Sorry to disrupt such an important tour of the Brief complex, but Vegeta would like you to join him in the Atrium." Zangya said as she walked over to the group.

"Hi, Zangya!" Gohan said as he hugged the green-skinned receptionist when she came within arms reach.

"Geez, kid you always hug me whenever I see you!" Zangya said with a blush as she hugged the hybrid back.

"Though I guess I can't call you a kid anymore... Zangya muttered as she took in Gohan's current features and attributes. "You've really grown into the hero that everyone said you would be!"

"Ah, you really mean it?" Gohan said as he let go of her and bashfully rubbed his head.

"Sure do! But time is money and if I want to earn mine I can't stand around all day talking with you even though I would love to." Zangya said as she backed away.

"Ah well, guess I should go see what father wants with me." Gohan said as he waved to Zangya as he led the group to the Atrium.

'Man... he really has grown into such a fine looking specimen.' Zangya thought as she watched Gohan leave with his friends his tail comfortably wrapped around his waist. 'Pity he has a girlfriend.'

"That woman looked familiar..." Shigure said to Gohan as they ventured further into the Brief building.

"She should be, you saw her on the telly several years ago with those other guys that were fighting in the Intergalactic Tournament." Gohan replied.

"But doesn't that mean that she wants to kill you due to you defeating her clansmen?" Miu asked.

"Yes and no... you see, her own boss tried to use her to kill me. I, however, disliked this idea and managed to save her life, however, she has a scar that she refuses to have removed from the encounter to remind her how close she came to death." Gohan replied as his eyes darkened from the memory of the fight with Bojack and his goons.

"Gohan-kun..." Shigure said as she looked at her pupil.

"Anyway to better times!" Gohan said as the dark look in his eyes vanished.

"Father wanted to see me for something and it's not best to keep him waiting."

"You really do care about Vegeta-sama." Miu said as they had almost reached their destination.

"For four years I was a mess, Mr Piccolo and Vegeta made me realize that the life that my father had left behind was not to be spent moping around in self-pity." Gohan replied.

"This planet is beautiful, but there are those that will stop at nothing to destroy or control. Moping around is not going to help keep it safe from itself and outside influences."

"You are right boy!" Vegeta said as he caught sight of the group.

"Vegeta, as always a pleasure to see you outside of the chamber." Gohan replied as he nodded at the older Saiyan.

"Vegeta-sama." Kenichi and Miu said as they politely bowed their head to the Prince.

"I see that you came along with your friends." Vegeta said as he nodded to each of the members.

"What is it exactly that you require of me?" Gohan said as he looked at the Prince curiously.

"I just need to see how your body is holding up. Though from what I can see and sense, it seems that there is nothing for me to worry about." Vegeta said as he looked Gohan up and down.

"I have these guys to thank for that." Gohan replied as he glanced at his friends. "Having friends my own age that I could be myself around was what I really needed."

"Gohan?! What a surprise!" Mrs Briefs said as she walked into the room and caught sight of the group.

"Mrs Briefs!" Gohan said as the mother of Bulma hugged him.

"Gohan, how many times do I have to tell you, call me Panchy! You've known me for long enough!"

"As you wish... Mrs Briefs." Gohan said with a smile.

"I'm not going to get you to change will I?" Panchy said as she stood on her tip toes and pecked Gohan on the forehead.

"Anyway, you were asking why I was in the area? Well, I just wanted to show my friends the city and I decided on having them see this place first." Gohan replied.

"Oh, how wonderful! Do stay for lunch won't you?" Panchy said.

"If it's no trouble for you?" Gohan asked as he looked at Panchy.

"No problem at all! It's lovely seeing you around here Gohan!" Panchy replied.

"Then if you guys are ok with it, while we wait we can explore the parts of the building that I'm allowed to." Gohan said.

"What are we waiting for?!" Kenichi said as Miu and Shigure nodded.

Deep in the R.O.S.A.T (Room Of Spirit And Time)

"Ha!" Chi-Chi yelled as she blocked and countered her father's attacks.

"Good, good! You're coming along nicely." Ox-King grunted as he kept up with his daughter. "Your control over your beast form is getting better by the second."

"Still not at your level dad!" Chi-Chi panted as she continued to rain blows down on her father.

"Don't be silly, you surpassed me ages ago, you just haven't learnt to control your powers yet, just like Gohan." Ox-King said as he smiled.

"Will seven days be enough time to achieve the power needed to take out Buu?" Chi-Chi asked as the two paused in their training.

"You'll only be in here for six, the seventh day you must set aside for teaching Miu and Shigure the techniques that they will need for the future if something should go wrong." Ox-King replied.

"But dad...

"No 'but dad' Chi-Chi. You know that it is only you who can pass on the knowledge required. Your the only female left of our race, it falls to you to take care of our future."

"Dad..." Chi-Chi said as she looked at her father with tears in her red eyes.

Hugging Chi-Chi, Ox-King smiled. "However those days are in the future let's focus on the here and now."

"No matter how many times I see you do it I am always surprised by how much you eat." Kenichi said as the group sat in the Brief's garden eating their lunch.

"Give it a year or two, you'll be more used to it by then." Bulma said as she watched Vegeta eat as much as the younger Saiyan.

"So how goes my honorary son?" Bulma said as she looked at the teen. "Got any girlfriends yet?!"

Glancing at Shigure who blushed but stared right back at him, Gohan smiled with red cheeks of his own.

"Getting there mom.." Gohan replied with a twinkle in his eye. "Getting there."

"Well hurry it up I want some kids to spoil with money and luxury!" Bulma said with a smirk. "I bet Chi-Chi wouldn't mind some either!"

"And I wouldn't mind a sister to spoil either." Gohan said effectively flipping the attention back to Bulma who went red.

"I'm working on it!" Bulma spluttered as Gohan laughed at her facial expression.

"No need to rush, I bet your time is being taken up by your work and Trunks right?"

"You could say that..."

And so the days came and went, both members of Yami and Yomi preparing in their own way for the World Martial Arts Tournament.

The daughter of the 'Champ' Mark Hercule Satan had put herself through even more rigorous training than usual due to wanting to be at her peak performance for the said tournament and to try her hand against the warriors from the Cell Games because even with the 'tricks' they were formidable warriors who had been in other tournaments before the upcoming one.

The other Z warriors were also training their butts off having each been given a gravity room by Bulma for training outside of the Room Of Spirit And Time.

And not only that but since Gohan was still using the multiform technique each version had sought out each warrior and had trained with them.

Miu and Kenichi finished their training with Korin and had progressed to fighting against Mr Popo who had put them through even harder training than Korin had which required them to be healed constantly by Dende but it all paid off.

And so the day of the tournament came..

On route to the tournament on Bulma's ship the Ryōzanpaku and Z gang sat and talked with one another.

"And so that's how I saved Eighteen." Krillin said as Miu and Kenichi listened intently.

Dressed in the same outfit as he had during the Cell Games, Gohan watched the said woman glance at his fathers best friend before glancing at him briefly.

"That's not how I remember it Krillin, you did what you thought was right." Android 18 said as she ran her fingers through their daughter's hair.

"And look at what became of that day Krillin, you have a beautiful wife and child and you have helped saved the world on many occasions." Gohan said as his friend smiled at him and looked lovingly at his wife and daughter.

"Not to mention your one of the strongest humans on this planet." Vegeta said quietly causing the bald monk and some of the other Z fighters to turn and stare at him in surprise.

"Wow, I thought Goku was good at changing people but Gohan... you have it down to the T!" (I still don't know what that means..)

Smiling, Gohan closed his eyes and told the others to wake him when they got to the tournament.

Training in their huge ship far below the capsule plane the warriors of Yami were training their students fresh and on point.

"So what did you find out about your possible future husband?" Kushinada said to her disciple.

"He's far stronger than you expected him to be." Chikage said as her master continued to pressure her with palm strikes.

"So he has yet to find out about his grandfather's true nature... Hmm, perhaps I can use that to my advantage."

'I hope you can figure out what you want to do and not what auntie wants you to do...'

"Chikage!"

Coming to her senses quickly though she still got a scratch on her face due to her mind wondering, Chikage focused on her master.

"What do you really want from me and Gohan?"

"There is something in him that he gets from his grandfather on his mother's side that I wish to utilise for Yami, a certain.. genetic trait."

"You Chikage, in you I see the future, and not just the future for Yami... your skills have already surpassed the skills I had at your age. Combining your D.N.A with that of Son Gohan will bring forth a new age... a superior age."

"And should he or I refuse?" Chikage asked.

"You already know the answer to that question."
