HI! Where did I leave off? Oh yeah… Gohan is dyeing in Goku's arms! Now I know what you are thinking, 'What is going to happen to our main character?' Well…That is for me to know and for you to find out. So let's start the "Show".

Chapter 4: The Lookout

Goku's P.O.V.

I felt my son's body go limp, and that is when I started to freak out. Come on, Gohan, hang on just a bit longer! I was worried that he was going to bleed to death. I felt some more ki-signals arriving; I knew it was Goten, Trunks, Piccolo, Yamcha, Tien, Chiatzou, Krillen, and Vegeta…Possibly 18.

"Hey Kakarrot," I looked over to see Vegeta giving me an annoyed glare.

"What is it Vegeta," I called back just as annoyed. My friends were shocked at my response, but I can care less, my son is dyeing, that is all that mattered at the moment.

"You do know you can use instant transmission?"

"Whoops…" I laughed awkwardly, and then focused on Dende's ki. I felt a hand on me, and I made sure that everyone was touching each other; then we appeared at the Lookout.

"Dende!" I called frantically.

"Goku…" He came around a corner. He stopped in his tracks when he saw my close-to-dead son in my arms.

"Put him down, and let me see him," He ordered. I did as he said. Dende put his hands on Gohan and started to restore his health. Gohan groaned and he slowly started to move, this is taking too long, I thought.

"He is wounded greatly, so this might take a while. The last time he was like this was when…" Dende trailed off. I couldn't fathom the fact that my eldest son has been through so much, but yet, he is still alive. He has fought off the most unbeatable villains from Garlic Jr. to Raphael. I was so proud of Gohan, but because of my blindness, he could be dyeing. Why couldn't I see it before! My eyes started to well up with tears, but I held them back, I was going to be strong and positive. Gohan's eyes started to open, but he closed them again.

"Gohan, can you hear me?" I asked as I knelt down next to him.

"Dad?" He could barely say my name, but he was awake, and that was fine by me. We all heard a hovering noise and looked up; how did I know they were coming. I watched as a yellow hover craft landed. The first one to come out was Chi-Chi, then Videl with Pan on her hip, and then the pilot, Bulma.

"Daddy!" Pan squealed. She wiggled out of Videl's arms, and as soon as Gohan sat up, he was attacked by his young daughter. I chuckled.

"Gohan, are you okay?" Videl walked passed me and to her husband.

"I am now, thank you Dende," He replied looking at the Earth's Guardian. Gohan had a warm smile on his face, regardless of what had just transpired.

Gohan's P.O.V.

I looked up at Dende, who was smiling in relief. I could not believe I was still alive, or the fact it took so long for my dad to get me here. I stood up, with Pan clinging to my hip and Videl at my side. I saw all my family and friends with worried yet relieved looks.

"What?" I asked looking at everyone.

"What the heck happened? You should have been able to get out of that, and not be wounded so badly," Piccolo said, with shock apparent in his voice.

"Well… I ran through the building and found Lisa, my boss. I went to grab her when the roof caved in; I was just about to power up a bit, when a hand grabbed my throat. I then felt a sharp pain in my side, and I started to get dizzy. I couldn't tell who did it because of the smoke and my wound. Next thing I know, he says something and runs off, and my ears were ringing from everything." I explained, when I finished, everybody was quiet.

"Explains why he couldn't here you snapping your fingers in his ears," Krillin said.

"Yeah, but who would be strong enough to do that?" Goten asked.

"Gohan, I know this is bad timing, but, I saw Raphael flying your direction earlier," Piccolo said with no emotion.

"And you didn't say anything?!" My Father snapped.

"You blaming me for this!"

"No, I was just wondering."

"Why I ought to…"

"ENOUGH!" I interrupted and stepped between them. I did not need this right now, I was stressed enough already.

"Gohan is right, it is best we get along, for we do not know exactly what happened," Dende said wisely. I pinched the bridge of my nose in annoyance as Piccolo stalked away. This is going to be a long day. I gave my father a don't-do-it look and walked away. All I needed was to clear my head, and take in what happened. Ok, I need to remember what that thing looked like…UGH! Why is it so hard for me!? I sat at the edge of the lookout and stared down, watching as my feet swayed back and forth off the edge. I still couldn't figure out who that guy was. I wasn't paying attention, until I felt a hand on my shoulder. I yelped and jumped 5-feet in the air.

"Settle down, kid. Just me."

"Oops…Sorry 'bout that. You know how I get when I am in my thoughts," I apologized to my Namekian friend.

"It's fine, but what were you thinking about?"

"Nothing important."

"Like I haven't heard that one before" I kept staring at the ground, not knowing what to tell him.

"Why did you snap earlier?"

"Huh? Oh yeah, I was just stressed and stuff. I haven't been getting much sleep either," He looked at me, worry in his eyes. I kept his gaze, still not sure of what to tell him. This is impossible, how am I supposed to tell him everything.

"Gohan… Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Like what?"

"Like you were worried that I was going to hurt you?" Piccolo chuckled.

"Oh…Well…"

"Stop stuttering and spit it out."

"Ok…The only person who knows is Goten, but…"

"Gohan, Watch out!" I turned at my father's voice and dodged a Ki-Blast from connecting with my face. What the… I landed back on my feet. I looked to where the blast came from. My confused look went to terrified in a flash.

"Well Gohan, long time no see." I still stood there frozen from shock and fear.

"What, not happy to see an old friend?"

"YOU ARE NO FRIEND OF MINE, RAPHAEL!"

"Oh come on, you need to be somewhat happy," I got into a fighting stance, protecting my family.

"You are not fighting me you idiot, I will give you a hint, look up." I didn't even have time to react when a fist connected to my cheek. I stopped myself before I ran into a pillar. WHAT?

Ok I know it has been awhile, but that is what happens when you have state testing. Who is this mysterious person who punched Gohan? The world may never know…Well except for me ;P
