A year had passed since Gohan and Kagome's adventures in the Feudal Era, and 6 months since Broly made his reappearance, and things had been peaceful on Earth.

In Other World, however, the time had come for the Other World tournament between fights from every galaxy, in which Goku and a warrior by the name of Pikkon from the West Galaxy were about to go at it in the final round.

"The outcome will be different this time Goku." Pikkon warned.

Goku smirked "We'll see, good luck Pikkon."

"Same to you."

"Then the battle began."

However, things were about to get bad.

At the Check-In Station, a teenage ogre by the name of Saike Demon was slacking off when he was supposed to be guarding the Soul Cleansing Machine.

His lack of attention allowed the machine to become too full, and as a result, the machine explodes, releasing all of the evil energy at once.

Saike was enveloped in the evil smog, causing him to transform into a large, fat, and seemingly innocent monster named Janemba, whose first order of business was to place a barrier around the Check-In Station.

Since the Check-In Station shut down, there would be no barrier between dimensions. The heavens would no longer be protected, and the gates of hell would be wide open. The dead would walk among the living, and the living among the dead.

Gohan slid into the living room of his house, clad in a white collared shirt, a pair of white socks, some boxers and a pair of shades, using a dust mop as a microphone, dancing to a certain song he was playing "Just take them old records off the shelf! I'll sit and listen to them by myself! Today's music ain't got the same soul! I like that old time rock and roll!" he failed to notice as Kai came through the door behind him "Don't try and take me to the disco! You'll never even get me out on the floor! In 10 minutes I'll be late for the door! I like that old time rock and roll! I like that old time rock and roll!" he did half a spin before he finally noticed Kai standing by the door with a huge shit eating grin, and he promptly turned off the song "You realize of course now I'm going to have to kill you."

"...Wow." then Kai finally gave out and started rolling around on the floor, laughing hysterically.

"Come on, it's not that funny."

"Yes it is!" then Kai finally got himself under control and turned serious "Piccolo actually sent me to get you, we're having serious problems. You know where Trunks or the hot alien chick are?"

"Well Trunks went back to his own time to make sure everything was okay, then train on his own for awhile. He said he'd keep in touch with everything happening here through his timeline's version of Fortuneteller Baba."

"The old chick on the floating crystal ball."

"Right. And as for Zangya, she moved in with Yamcha about a year ago."

"...Lucky bastard."

"I would comment, but I'm with Kagome so I basically can't. Anyway, what's going on?"

"Don't tell me you haven't noticed, just go ahead and sense it out."

"What are you-" then he let out a shallow gasp "So many Ki signatures are popping up out of nowhere, and a lot of them feel way too familiar for my liking. I think I can sense almost all of our enemies out there too. And I think I can sense dad somewhere… Come on, let's go and try to evacuate the regular civilians to somewhere safe."

"And then we kick some ass?"

"And then we kick some ass."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The fight between Goku and Pikkon was rudely interrupted by how Janemba was warping the surroundings, mainly when a gigantic jelly bean appeared in the middle of the arena.

On Grand Kai's orders, Goku and Pikkon went to check it out.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Cell fired an Eye Beam, killing multiple civilians "I don't know how I'm back amongst the living again and I don't really care, all I know is that now I have a chance to exact my revenge against Goku's worthless friends!"

"Is that so?"

Cell looked up to see Broly floating above him in his regular Super Saiyan form "And who might you be?"

"I am known as Broly, but with your Saiyan DNA may know me as the Legendary Super Saiyan."

"Is that right? I must say, for only a Super Saiyan your power is quite impressive. But even if you transformed into this so called Legendary Super Saiyan for now, you wouldn't be able to defeat me."

"I wouldn't be so sure about that." with a furious roar, Broly ascended to his Legendary Super Saiyan form, then suddenly burst forward and rammed his fist straight into Cell's face, the mere shockwave shattering the windows around them in a Superman-like fashion and sending Cell hurtling above the city by nearly a mile.

Cell quickly stopped himself, almost immediately being overcome by his rage "One… punch… How… How could he so much more powerful?! I'm perfect! I can't lost here! I was designed to be the ultimate life form! I AM PERFECTION ITSELF!"

"Enough of this." Broly then fired a simple Eraser Cannon, incinerating Cell and sending him back to Hell 'You have my sympathy android. I was you once, going through life without any sort of true purpose, forced to act as a tool with no free will of my own, just to serve for the grudge of some old fool who doesn't know when to let go. I was given a second chance, if only you could have had the same.' he looked in another direction 'The others may need my help.'

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Jellybeans, lots and lots of jelly beans.

That was all Goku could see when he and Pikkon arrived at the Check In Station "Get a load of this, it doesn't look anything like the Check In Station I know. It feels like King Yemma is inside that gigantic jelly bean. Weird, not a sentence I ever thought I would say."

Then a silhouette of King Yemma appeared on the surface of the jelly bean "Goku thank goodness you're here, an accident mutated one of our workers and he's the one responsible for this!"

"Don't worry King Yemma, we'll bust you out of there before you can say Snake Way! Pikkon, let's take a shot on three. One, two, three!" they each took a shot, only for it to not even crack the barrier "Nothing."

"It must have absorbed the blast."

Goku looked back to see Gohan, clad in a purple blue colored gi similar to Piccolo's but larger, a red obi, red shin guards and wristbands, and black shoes "Gohan?"

"Hi dad." Gohan tried not to tear up 'I honestly didn't think it would be this hard to look him in the eye after all this time.'

"You've gotten so big, and you're so much stronger now."

"I've gone through a lot these past few years. But as much as I would love to catch up with you dad, and believe me I would, we have other things to worry about."

"Oh yeah, right."

"Goku, on the roof!" King Yemma called "The monster that did this is on the roof!"

"What? But I don't see anything on the roof." they floated up, only to find the gigantic blob that was Janemba sitting up there "...Nevermind. To be honest though, he doesn't seem really look that mean to me."

"Well we'll soon find out." Pikkon floated up to confront Janemba "Are you the one who put the barrier up around this world?"

"Janemba… Janemba…" was all he said.

"...Okay. Be a good boy and take down the barrier now Janemba." he received no response in any way, shape or form "Are you stupid or what?! You heard me, take that barrier down right this instant or else!"

"Janemba!"

"Are you trying to make a fool out of me?!" then he got flicked away an instant.

"And he didn't even try." then Goku looked at Janemba "You really pack a wallop, who are you anyway?"

"Be careful Dad, he's clearly a lot stronger than he looks." Gohan pointed out, only for both of them to be nearly blown away by Janemba just breathing at them.

"Incredible, he's a lot stronger than I thought. We were right to call the fight off Pikkon, this guy could destroy the whole universe." then he grinned "I've never felt a power like this! Say if you guys don't mind then I think I should handle this one myself."

"Forget it Dad, I've been fine with you and your selfish desire to hog opponents like this but this time is different. This opponent dwarfs the likes of Cell several times over, letting you go at him like that is a risk we can't afford to take."

"Janemba, Janemba." he was pointing at Gohan.

"And he wants to fight me, why else would he be pointing at me?"

"DID YOU FORGET ABOUT ME?!" Yemma thundered.

"Oh no, they were gonna help you right Dad, green guy with my dad?" he received annoyed glares "Look I'm gonna try and lure this guy down to Hell, you guys try and figure out how to get rid of this barrier head to Earth and try and help the others subdue the chaos alright?" then he clasped his hands at Janemba "Come on, you can do it Janemba! Come on, follow the leader big fella! Great, I've got more of dad in me than I thought.' and he disappeared down into the jelly beans.

Janemba fell off and followed him.

"...So Pikkon, I think I'll let you handle this." then Goku blitzed away with Instant Transmission, leaving a pissed off Pikkon behind.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Bojack found himself hiding in an alley 'This is just ridiculous! I come down here with the full crew, ready to slaughter, and the next thing I know that triclops (Tien) is beating the tar out of Bido! I mean first some midget with a shaggy bowlcut (Krillin) beats down Bujin and slices him in half and then some scarfaced guy with a ponytail (Yamcha) beats Kogu to a pulp and sends him back to Hell, and now this! Damn, I need to hurry and get off this planet before any of them find me."

"Trust me, that isn't the only thing you have to worry about."

Bojack spun around and looked up to see Zangya floating above him "Zangya… Hey, how's it going? So… great to see you again…"

"Yeah, not since you tried to kill me."

'Shit, so she still remembers that? Hey don't take it personally, I needed to catch that kid off guard with my attack and that was the best option that I had."

"Oh of course." note the sarcasm in her voice "Of course you do realize that I'm still rather sore over what happened, and I believe that I still need to give you my letter of registration."

'...Well f*ck.'

"As entertaining as this is, I think I should take over for you."

Zangya looked and saw Piccolo appear next to her "Piccolo, what are you doing here?"

"Taking over, sure you've gotten stronger but nowhere near strong enough to take on someone like him." he promptly removed his weighted clothing "I'm gonna take it from here."

Bojack smirked "So you want to be the first one to die?"

"We'll see about that, but I do advise you to go all out or else you won't last very long. I'll only need the Kaioken 10X to beat him.' he subtly powered up the crimson aura, making sure Bojack wouldn't notice.

A twitch of rage crossed Bojack's face as he let out an enraged roar and powered up to his maximum. Then he charged and slammed his fist into Piccolo's gut, his fists moving too fast for a normal person to follow as he knocked Piccolo backwards, following up with him smashing Piccolo on the back, sending him hurdling down and smashing into the streets, before finishing it with a fierce barrage of Ki blasts.

However, when the assaulted ended, Piccolo stood up, his crimson aura still flaring and the only damage having been done was to his gi, and even then it was only slight "Just great, I knew that was the best you could manage." in a sudden flash he started launching a flurry of blows into Bojack's torso.

Bojack gagged and retched from the pain and made a futile attempt to launch a counterattack.

Piccolo quickly swerved around the punch and then buried his fist clean through Bojack's stomach 'Great, I didn't even get a chance to make a flashy finish.'

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kai let out a tired sigh as he fell to one knee 'This is getting ridiculous. First I'm dealing with a bunch of little green plant guys (Saibamen), then I'm dealing with three guys screaming for Vegeta's head (Cui, Dodoria, Zarbon), and now I just dealt with Android 14 and Android 15 while pushing myself to use the Kaioken 20x. I'm already exhausted as it is, I don't think I can handle anything big like that again.'

"What do you know? You're doing pretty good."

Kai whipped around to see 5 figures in Saiyan armor 'Oh great, now what?'

It got worse when they started doing poses.

"Recoome!"

"Burter!"

"Jeice!"

"Guldo!"

"Nappa!"

"Together we are… the Neo Ginyu Force!"

"...What?" Kai forced himself back into a fighting stance 'Wait, weren't the Ginyu Force those big idiot thugs that Gohan told me that he, Krillin and Vegeta faced on Planet Namek? Yeah, I think they were.'

"We are the Neo Ginyu Force, the cream of the crop, the elite among the elite throughout the galaxy!" Jeice declared "We've proudly returned from Hell to make up for our unfortunate mistakes on Planet Namek! Now then, Vegeta and that Saiyan with the weird hair, tell us right now and we'll let you live."

"Gee, sell out my best friend's father? No, I think I'll pass."

"Hey Kai, need a hand?"

Kai looked back to see Kagome running up to him "Kagome you know that Gohan wouldn't want you to-"

"Forget it, you guys somehow have it drilled into your heads that I'm some weak little girl that needs protecting. I'm putting all of that training with Piccolo to use, and there's nothing you can say or do to stop me."

"...Fine, but Gohan never finds out about this."

"Fine, then we'll do this our way." then Nappa stepped up, now in a white suit "Now then, I believes it's time for everyone's favorite game. WHEEL. OF. DEATH!" a gigantic wheel suddenly appeared out of nowhere "Now for the folks viewing at home, the rules are simple. One of my men will spin the wheel and whoever it lands on, he kills!"

"What the hell- when did you guys have time to set this up? And- is that a camera? What kind of sadistic jackass watches this crap?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Vegeta was sitting in the Capsule Corp living room watching Wheel of Death, bowl of popcorn in one hand and cup of coffee in another "No wonder Frieza loved this show so much, I should've tried it years ago. And record." he hit the record button.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Can I get in on this?"

Kai looked to see 17 drop down from the sky "Oh for the love of- Not you too!"

"What can I say? I'm tired of punching out Cell Jr's and this seems like fun."

"Alright, first contestant!" Nappa called.

Guldo stepped up "Come on, give me the kid with the mouth!" he spun, but ended up landing on 17 and Kagome "No! Respin, respin, respin!"

"Lucky little bastard got two of them." Recoome muttered.

"Alright, let's give this sucker a spin." Burter spun, only to hit the vacation spot on the wheel.

"Congratulations!" Nappa announced "You've just won a free all expenses paid trip to Frieza Planet 419!"

"Oh you've gotta be f*cking kidding me. Nobody ever goes to Frieza Planet 419, not since its species miraculously repopulated."

"I CAN SEE THE FUTURE!" could faintly be heard in the distance.

Kai let out a groan "Can we please get on with this?"

"Oh right, let's have a go then shall we?" then Jeice stepped up, only to hit Bankrupt "Oh piss off you great bloomin pinwheel!"

"Well that's just great." Burter grumbled "That means that the loud mouth brat goes to-"

"YES!" Recoome got in Guldo's face "In your face!" then he turned to Kai "Get read boy, your time is coming. Soon, you will face the End-All, the Be-All, the Plead-All! REEEEEEEEEECOOOOOMEuhh!"

"...I honestly have no idea what's going on anymore." Kagome muttered "So we're fighting that little green guy over there."

"That would be Guldo." Kai told her "From what Gohan tells me he has psychic powers and can stop time for as long as he can hold his breath. The real trick is his paralysis technique, he was able to almost kill Gohan and Krillin, and the only reason they survived is because Vegeta cut into the fight and cut his head off, then blasted it into atoms." then he looked over to where 17 had done the exact same thing, leaving only Guldo's body behind "Like that."

"Huh."

"Yeah. Well I guess I'm up, wish me luck." then Kai stepped up "So big guy, are we gonna or wha-?"

"HIT RECOOME'S MUSIC!" this was followed by the Doom 1993 theme playing "Listen up boy, you think that just because you can take out a few boys you're the best there is at what you do! But let Recoome tell ya something brotha, you ain't no Wolverine and you ain't got what it takes to STEP UP to a FIVE TIME CHAMPION!"

"...Champion of what?"

"This fight is going to be a major slaughter people." Nappa noted "You can just feel the intensity radiating off of them."

"Who the hell are you talking to?!"

"Who do you think? The audience, I'm doing commentary."

"Oh for-"

"ENOUGH!" Recoome thundered "You see boy, you can talk smack all you like, insult our pride and honor, but that doesn't mean a DAAAAMN thing to this man! Because the name's RECOOME! And it rhymes WITH DOOM! AND YOOOU'RE gonna he hurting! ALL! TOO! SOOOOOON!"

"...Wrestling is fake." he received various boos from the nonexistent crowd "Oh all of you can bite me in the ****! Look at Mr Satan, he's the fakest thing there is! And besides, if it means getting this damned thing over with then I'm just going to have to waste your ass! Now then Kagome, 17, hit MY music." and it started playing "Oh yeah, now this is my jam!"

When it comes crashing down and it hurts inside

You've gotta take a stand, it don't help to hide

If you hurt my friends, then you hurt my pride

I've gotta be a man, I can't let it slide

"THAT'S IT!" Recoome let out a roar "RECOOME HAS HAD ENOUGH! FEEL THE STRENGTH OF THE REEEEEECOOME ULTRA FIGHTING MIRACLE-"

"Bitch punch!" Kai flashed into his Kaioken 5x and slugged Recoome in the gut as hard as he could "And to make my point abundantly clear…" he then turned to Jeice and Burter "And to emphasize my point… SUCK IT JABRONI! LIGHT GRENADE!" he fired a Light Grenade, enhanced by the Kaioken, and incinerated Recoome on the spot "And that's how it's done."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Vegeta let out a sigh "And the Emmy goes to…"

"The one who turned my son into that."

Vegeta looked back and saw Goku crouched in the windowsill, looking deadly serious "Well at least you of all people had the decency to wait until Wheel of Death and Ginyumania were both over, so what do you want Kakarot? In case you hadn't noticed, I was in the middle of enjoying my day off. Now that you're here, as much as I want to kick your ass, it takes time out of my free day."

"What I want is to know what the hell happened to my son."

"He grew up." the statement was blunt yet clear "You haven't even bothered to check in on him have you?"

Goku said nothing.

"That's what I thought." Vegeta looked away and stood "He's been practically killing himself with guilt over you sacrificing yourself, and combined with the new responsibility he's been tasked with it's going to take its toll on him."

"What do you mean?"

"You really don't know anything about this do you? Sit your ass down, this is gonna take awhile."

"We now take you back to Fighters and Lovers on Planet Vegeta."

"Right after this episode."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Gohan found himself in Hell, with Janemba floating down right in front of him "Wow, this guy really is affecting every dimension and creation."

"Janemba!" Janemba hit the ground with a loud thud.

"It's kind of weird that he seems so harmless like that."

Then Janemba used his power to create several mini clones of himself.

"Is it weird that I actually find them kind of cute? Not that there's very much going on in their noggins though."

Then the clones waltzed towards him and attempted to smac him to the ground, and once that failed they dog piled on him, much to the amusement of the original.

"Enough of this! Dragon Cyclone!" Gohan unleashed a demonic wind dragon that shredded all of the clones, causing them to disappear.

Now even more amused, Janemba summoned several of the gigantic jelly beans dowards in an attempt to crush Gohan with them, then had them converge on him and trap him, before he waltzed forward and rammed into them full force.

Gohan was able to leap out of the way at the last second and charged.

Janemba sent him flying and crashing to the ground with a carefree kick.

Gohan recovered and charged at him again.

Janemba backhanded him away, then used his Illusion Smash to pummel Gohan, ending the assault by smashing him against the ground.

Gohan was able to catch the gigantic fist at the last second before it could crush him.

Janemba sent his fist through another portal.

'Now!' Gohan was ready this time and slammed a Ki blast into the fist, exploding it and startling Janemba, sending him falling back 'Okay, at least I know this thing can be hurt.' he got into a certain stance "Ka… Me… Ha… Me… HA!" he fired a Kamehameha in his base form in order to test Janemba's power and endurance.

Janemba used his Mystic Copy technique to create a fake copy of Gohan that fired its own Kamehameha, hitting Gohan dead on and engulfing him in an explosion.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Things were quiet in another part of Hell.

A lone figure sat staring at the battle through a crystal ball "That demon's power is truly formidable, even if it's lacking in intelligence. Then again, I may be able to use that to my advantage. After all, a mindless thrall is of much more use to me than one capable of proper thought, much easier to control with my dark power. Besides, having another pawn in my possession wouldn't hurt. I just have to wait for that pitiful Dragon Saiyan to waste his energy before I make a move. This Janemba creature will make a perfect servant for me, Magatsuhi, the one who will rule over this pathetic world."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Gohan was scorched slightly by the blast and left in a stupor "Hold on a minute. Was that… me that shot me? Okay, I'm out of f*cks to give. I'd better hurry and finish him off right now before this gets out of hand.' he quickly flashed into Super Saiyan 2.

Janemba began shaking his stomach, the holes on it beginning to wiggle disturbingly as he fired his Rapid Cannon, shooting a barrage of Ki blasts from the holes.

Gohan frantically leapt out of the way of the attack, only to be caught in the explosion when all of the blasts detonated at once 'Okay that's enough messing around, I think it's about time for me to go all out. I haven't had a chance to use this in a real fight yet, but it's the only chance I've got!' with a prolonged furious roar, his hair growing down his back and his eyebrows turning rigid, blue electricity crackling throughout his body "This is a form I recently discovered, I call it Super Saiyan 3. You should be proud of yourself, I don't think I've ever been pushed this far in battle before."

Janemba grinned and started clapping his hands, amused by the transformation and massive boost in power.

"You act innocent but you're deadly, it's over Janemba." and he charged.

Janemba attempted to swat him to the ground.

Gohan stepped to the side and easily avoided it, then blitzed forward and attacked Janemba with a furious barrage of punches to the chest and stomach.

Janemba summoned down several gigantic jelly beans from the air.

Gohan easily punched Janemba into the air 'My control over this form isn't even close to perfect yet, I'm gonna have to end this in one shot.' he quickly blitzed above Janemba, lightning crackling in his hand "Current Fist!" he channeled the demonic lightly of the Dragon Current into his fist and thrusted it into Janemba's gut, the sheer force sending him crashing to the ground, his appearance becoming warped. Then Gohan retreated a ways away and powered down when he saw that Janemba had stopped moving "That was weird. But his power was seriously incredible though, if it wasn't for Super Saiyan 3 then I would definitely have lost that battle.' then he stiffened 'You're kidding me, even after all of that he's still alive?'

Then Janemba's disfigured body began morphing, changing into a normal sized red and purple humanoid form with horns and a tail.

'So he can evolve his form to increase his power. I don't like the feel of this, he's way more powerful than before. I'd better take it a step further.' he got into a stance, his hair turning orange as he combined his Super Saiyan 3 form with his Dragon Saiyan power 'Dragon Saiyan 3 huh? I have to admit, it has a nice ring to it.'

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kai stood over what was left of Recoome, with Kagome and 17 standing right behind him "Alright muscle bound jackasses, who's next?"

Jeice appeared in front of Kai, with Burter right behind him "Alright you little bastard, prepare to feel the wrath of the Ginyu-"

Kai cut him off with a punch to the face.

"OH GOD! YOU GODDAMN WANKER! YOU PUNCHED ME IN THE-"

Another punch.

"DAMMIT YOU DID IT AGAIN!"

A third punch.

"STOP IT! STOP-"

A fourth punch.

"PISS! Oh come on Jeice, what did the captain tell us to do in this situation? Let's see, he said that if I ever found myself being punched repeatedly in the face then I should always remember to-'

A fifth punch.

"OH GOD HE CUT OFF THE CAPTAIN!"

"So are you going to bother to at least try to dodge any of these?"

"Oh, that's what the captain-"

A sixth punch "Let's be real, you totally deserved that one."

"Oh for- BURTER! SUPPORT!"

Burter shrugged "Well you've got very nice hair, you're a beautiful shade of red, and to be completely honest you're the only guy I can rely on on this team."

"I MEAN PUNCH HIM YOU DAFT BASTARD!" then he calmed down "Oh but thanks ya know? That really cheered me-"

"Punch." Kai punched him a seventh time.

"OH GOD I THINK HE BROKE SOMETHING THAT TIME!"

'As amusing as this is, I really should hurry up and finish these guys.'

"Lightning Claw!" a blast of lightning suddenly appeared and fried Nappa, Jeice and Burter in an instant.

Kagome's eyes nearly bulged out of her head when she saw who it was "No way…"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Goku stared at Vegeta in disbelief "He's really been putting himself through all of that?"

Vegeta nodded "Yes, that and so much more." then he looked in a certain direction "You feel that don't you?"

"That massive energy… it's higher than anything I've ever felt before. Is that really Gohan?"

"He must have ascended higher than anything we thought possible." he looked at Goku "You know how to use that form don't you?"

Goku said nothing.

"Yeah that's what I thought." he looked back in the direction where he sensed Gohan's massive level of Ki "They're gonna surpass us."

"Gohan's already surpassed me."

"And Trunks is going to surpass me, both of them."

"I never thought I'd see the day where you wanted someone to surpass you. I thought you hated having anyone stronger than you."

"That mainly applies to you and your spawn, having my son push past me is something that I actually do want to see."

"...So should we go help Gohan?"

"No, I think he's got this covered."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Gohan got into a stance, his Dragon Saiyan 3 aura crackling with electricity 'Alright, here goes nothing.'

Janemba charged forward.

Gohan dodged a punch and aimed a kick.

Janemba blocked it with his forearm and attempted to whack Gohan with his tail.

Gohan ducked to avoid the tail and kicked Janemba in the face.

Janemba recovered almost immediately and grabbed Gohan by the ankle.

Gohan kicked Janemba in the head and broke free, then fired a small blast of fire from his hand at him 'Thanks to my Dragon Saiyan form, I can use all of my elemental powers without using my sword.'

Janemba warped the blast away using his Dimensional Hole, opening another hole right behind Gohan to sneak attack him.

Gohan dodged and leapt out of the way at the last second, then charged at Janemba and kneed him in the face. Then he hit him with a spin kick to the face and attempted to finish the assault with a blast of wind from behind.

Janemba dodged the final strike using his Bunkai Teleport, then used it to counter with his Cosmic Illusion.

Gohan leapt back aways, clutching the singed top of his gi 'I knew he was stronger now, but this is just insane.'

Then Janemba fired a Hell Gate blast from his mouth.

'Well this is going to hurt.' and then Gohan's world exploded.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

In the Check In Station, a lone figure in a white outfit with two swords attached to his side observed the green light of the explosion 'He's grown several times more powerful since we last met, and yet this new monster is that much more powerful than him. There's no question about it, he can't beat this threat alone.' he looked over and saw a white haired figure in a red kimono jumping down on the jelly beans 'It looks like he plans to assist him on his own. I'll play along with that for now and see how it goes.'

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Gohan was sent staggering back, his shirt torn by the blast 'Dammit… He's so powerful, one blast and I'm still barely standing.'

Janemba materialized in front of him and picked a club off of the ground, then used his mass manipulation to transform it into a Dimension Sword and slashed at Gohan, one stroke sending him reeling.

Gohan recovered in time to draw his own sword to counter another strike 'His strikes are so quick and precise, I'd better bring out the big guns! Dragon Inferno!" he fired a demonic fire dragon from the blade.

Janemba attempted to slice through the attack, only for it to detonate in a fiery explosion when he did.

Gohan took this time to retreat and gain some distance, then hid behind one of the gigantic jelly beans.

Janemba merely sliced through the flames using his Dimension Sword Attack, slicing through the jelly bean and leaving a deep cut in Gohan's shoulder.

Gohan gripped his shoulder in pain 'Dammit, he's so strong! At this rate, I won't be able to beat him. I'm gonna have to hope for a miracle at this point.' he attempted to retreat.

Janemba fired off several more slashes from his sword.

Gohan was forced to narrowly dodge the strikes as he found himself heading towards the Blood Pond, now known as the Blood Cone, only to soon be sent falling into it, now back in his base form.

Janemba unleashed his Spike Hell technique, cutting off several bits of the Blood Cone, eventually leaving Gohan trapped in a blood crystal.

'Dammit, he's got me. I could really use that miracle right about now.' he had no idea that he was about to get it.

"Adamant Barrage!" a barrage of adamant spikes shot towards Janemba, distracting him and destroying the blood crystal.

Now that he was free, an exhausted Gohan fell to the ground, coughing up blood "What…?"

A lone figure in a red kimono with white hair landed on the ground in front of him, sword over shoulder "I don't think I've ever seen you have such a hard time against an opponent, least of all one as savage as this."

Gohan looked up and his eyes widened "No way… Inuyasha? But how?"

"Come on, you didn't actually think you'd never see me again did you? Get real, you're not getting rid of me that easily."

"But I don't understand, where have you been? I've been searching for your Ki all this time but I could never find it."

"Did you look in the afterlife too, or just on Earth?"

"...Oh."

"Yeah, see Miroku and Sango croaked a good long while after you and Kagome and the bowlcut left, but me, Shippo and that fleabag Koga all bit the dust during that whole thing with King Piccolo about 400 years ago."

"Wow."

"Hey he was a hell of a lot stronger in his prime. Sesshomaru was the only one of us who got out alive, now I don't know where he is. Actually most of us became Hell guardians. Miroku Sango, Shippo and Kohaku are down on Earth helping Kagome and your buddy Kai deal with those Ginyu guys."

"What about Koga?"

"Well Koga's off kicking the crap out of those weird little blue bug guys."

"Cell Jr's?"

"Yeha, those. Now then, I'm here and I'm ready to take on this ugly bastard. That's all there is to it." he then picked up his Tessaiga "Just stand back and take a breather, I'll handle this one on my own."

"But he's strong, insanely strong. I don't think he can be beaten."

"Don't worry, I have one thing in my favor. I have nothing to lose."

"What are you talking about? Don't say stuff like that."

"I mean that death means nothing while this guy is still alive. Now stand back and recover your strength, I've got this." and he charged forward.

Janemba ducked under a slash from Tessaiga and aimed a slash of his own, only for his Dimension Sword to shatter upon impact.

"Wind Scar!" Inuyasha fired off a Wind Scar.

Janemba dodged using his Bunkai Teleport.

'Now! Adamant Barrage!" Inuyasha fired a barrage of Adamant Spears before the teleportation was complete.

Janemba emerged a fair distance away with adamant spikes embedded in his body, but he quickly ripped them out and grabbed Inuyasha by the neck using his Mystic Attack, then promptly slammed him to the ground.

"Get away from him you disgusting slimy freak!" Gohan charged in, now in his regular Dragon Saiyan form.

Janemba suddenly froze and began cracking apart.

'So insults weaken him.' Gohan dealt Janemba a spin kick to the face, followed by a Dragon Cyclone at point blank range, knocking him a fair distance away 'Of all the weakness to have…' he was about to yell another insult.

Janemba kicked in away blitzed behind Inuyasha using his Bunkai Teleport, shocking him just long enough for Janemba to punch him in the temple, knocking him out.

Then Gohan suddenly blitzed in front of Janemba and slugged in in the gut with all of the force he could muster "You're in for a rude awakening if you think I'm just gonna lie down and die against a freak like you!" this caused more cracks to form along Janemba's body, which he then deepened further by uppercutting him into the air. Then his sun kissed orange aura exploded as he charged after Janemba at full speed, a ball of energy forming in his hands "Ka… Me… Ha… Me… HAAAA!" he shot out the Kamehameha with as much strength as he was able to muster.

Janemba raised both hands to stop the attack, being pushed back a great distance, getting an idea with what few working brain cells he actually had.

Gohan's mind was racing as he tried to think of a way out of this situation "This isn't good, this level of attack isn't anywhere near enough to stop this guy. To top that off I'm putting just about everything I have into it, so once I finish this attack I'll be utterly defenseless."

"I've thought of this, just focus on that attack for the time being."

Gohan looked to his side, and his eyes widened at who he saw "Sesshomaru…"

"Formalities will have to wait for now Son Gohan. Just do not let up."

"Right." Gohan pushed his blast even further, pushing Janemba back inch by inch 'I can feel his flesh burning from the blast, and his pain is growing with each passing second. I've gotta end this fast, and I think I have an idea.'

Janemba looked in one direction and fired a set of Eye Beams that suddenly changed direction mid fire and closed in on Gohan.

'Dammit, I'm in a catch 22 now! I can't stop my attack or he'll blast me into oblivion, and I can't keep going or I won't be able to defend against those Eye Beams. Come on Gohan, think! Wait, I know!' he began straining himself, and with a furious roar he suddenly summoned two lumps of flesh from his back, each taking the form of an arm 'The Four Witches technique. Note to self, thank Tien for this.' he fired one blast from each hand, cancelling out the Eye Beams 'The only problem is that this takes up a lot of energy, I can't keep holding my attack any longer.' he then cancelled his attack and leapt a fair distance away as his second set of arms disappeared back into his back.

Now free of the blast, Janemba was struggling to catch his breath, now covered in black scorch marks across his right arm and part of the right side of his head, as well as sporting some cracks on the armor on his chest. Enraged at being injured, he opened his mouth in Gohan's direction and began charging a Hell Gate.

"Dragon Burst!" that was when a wave of green energy struck Janemba straight across his front, the blast resulting sending him tumbling back, courtesy of Sesshomaru as he shot towards him, readying his poison claws.

Then a thunderous boom could be heard as Janemba quickly caught Sesshomaru's hand in his, then headbutted Sesshomaru, flinging him backwards through the multi-colored sky.

Sesshomaru managed to stop himself and returned to the ground, rubbing his face 'Such force behind one strike, this creature is truly formidable.'

Janemba opened another Dimensional Hole and shot his fist through it, catching Sesshomaru in the temple, then shot his other fist through a second portal, hitting Sesshomaru with a blast at point blank range, driving him down to the ground.

Sesshomaru found himself aching all over his body 'To think he's done so much damage in so little time. Even I can't endure many more of those attacks, if I'm going to put an end to this then I have to do it now.' he placed two hands on his forehead 'I haven't mastered this technique yet, so I'll only be able to use it once.' he suddenly blitzed above Janemba, then wrapped him in a poison whip made from the poison in his claws, and threw him to the ground.

Janemba slammed down onto the surface, roaring and screaming in rage, sending massive cracks along the ground, and when he tried to get up he realized that he couldn't move a single one of his muscles.

'Having Bakusaiga has made my poison much more potent, now it's nullified any control his brain has over different parts of his body. Son Gohan, if you're going to unleash any sort of attack then it will have to be now. At my current level of strength, I won't be able to hold him off for long." his voice was increasingly strained.

A bright sun kissed orange light appeared in the sky on the horizon as Gohan appeared, now back in his Dragon Saiyan 3 form, a sphere of energy cupped in his hands, one side glowing black and the other side glowing white "Get ready for the god of all Kamehameha's, courtesy of the properties of Yin and Yang! I'm hitting you with every single ounce of strength that I have left!" the sphere of energy grew larger, then compressed itself in his hands "Yin! Yang! Ka… Me… Ha… Me… HAAAAAAA!" he let out a roaring Yin and Yang Kamehameha, slamming straight into Janemba in a fraction of a second.

Janemba tried to scream, but his cries were drowned out by ear bursting blast and was engulfed almost instantaneously.

Gohan kept pushing the blast further and further until his energy ran out, the blast and the explosion both fading away into nothing.

Sesshomaru finally gave up his hold on Janemba and retracted his poison whip 'That was close, just a little bit longer and I would not have been able to hold out.' with what little strength he had left, he quickly moved over and picked up Inuyasha's body, then carried him to an undamaged area. With blood dripping from his hands, he managed to steady himself and finally tracked down Gohan's Ki.

Gohan was lying on top of one of the gigantic jelly beans, completely exhausted "That was… both painful… and awesome… at the same time…"

"You never cease to amaze me, whether that be a good or bad thing. However, as impressive as that attack was, I have my doubts that he is actually dead, mainly for two reasons. The first reason is that I can still smell him, the second is that the landscape is still warped into something only a small child would be able to come up with."

"Well… that sucks…" then he coughed up some blood "We'd better… get back to Earth… and get some Senzu Beans… from Master Korin… None of us are really in great condition… especially if that thing is still alive and kicking…"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Inuyasha began stirring by the time he saw Gohan and Sesshomaru touch down in front of him "Is it over…?"

"Sorry… it doesn't seem like it Inuyasha…" Gohan pointed "Over there… j-just take a look and you'll see…"

Inuyasha looked over to where the deformed and mangled form of Janemba lay, severely disfigured but still alive after Gohan's blast "Well shit."

Janemba was about to advance when his body suddenly froze up again, and he threw his head to the literal heavens and let out a furious shriek at the top of his lungs, distorting the already warped reality and shifting everything even further. Volcanoes were sprouting up along the land and started spewing fire and lava into the air, with the lava turning into water, then into steam, then into liquid obsidian, and then froze in the air entirely as his screams began growing louder and louder, the color becoming inverted and diluted into black and white before finally returning to normal.

Gohan's look was one of awe and horror 'If the change in the landscape wasn't bad enough, I mean I honestly preferred the jelly beans over this, his power is shooting way higher than anything I've ever felt before!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kagome's eyes nearly bulged out of her head when she saw who was standing before her "No way…"

Koga stood before her, with Shippo, Sango, Miroku and Kohaku right behind him "Hey Kagome, it's been awhile."

"Guys!" she caught them all in a hug "It's so great to see all of you again!"

"I just wish it was under better circumstances, we're here on orders to help clean up the mess this situation caused."

"Wait, what?"

"You see we're Hell guardians, we keep the prisoners in check and stuff."

"Cool. Oh by the way, this is Kai." she gestured to Kai.

"Sup."

"Sup Koga, been awhile." Kai held up two fingers and turned to the others "Gohan's told me a ton about you guys, it's great to finally meet you."

Miroku nodded "You as well, Gohan has told us many positive things about you."

"Where is Gohan anyway?"

"He's in Hell." Koga told them "Yeah see he's fighting the creature responsible for this whole mess."

"Not anymore."

Kagome looked back to see Gohan, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha suddenly appear behind her, all looking seriously wounded "Gohan! Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, great to see you guys again. But seriously, what happened to all of you?"

Gohan let out a sigh "We don't have much time to explain, can one of you go get some Senzu Beans?"

"I'll go." 17 offered "I don't know much but I know that you guys are all apparently old friends, I think I'll let you catch up and stuff." and he took off.

"Alright. Shippo, I'd love for us to catch up but I need you to get Kagome out of here, as in yesterday levels of fast."

"Why, what's going on?" asked Kai.

"There's this thing in Hell, it was so strong that the three of us combined were barely able to get away with our lives. It's transforming again, its power has at least doubled at this point."

"I'm staying with you." Kagome told him.

"No you're not. No offense Kagome but me, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha are all hundreds of times stronger than you and that thing beat us within an inch of our lives with just a few blows. I know you're stronger than before but you're not ready for this. I know that this thing would kill you in a heartbeat if it had the chance, and if anything happened to you then I'd never be able to forgive myself."

"...Just stay safe, and don't do anything stupid."

"Thank you, and I promise I'll come out of this."

"Come on Kagome, let's go." Shippo grabbed Kagome and disappeared in a swirling.

"...When did he learn that?"

"500 years will do that." Koga pointed out "We'll do the greetings and crap later Gohan, what exactly are we dealing with right now?"

"From what I know this guy was originally one of the workers who got mutated by an accident and turned into an horrible monster. Even combining my Dragon Saiyan power with Super Saiyan 3, I was powerless against him on my own."

"Well that's just damn perfect. As much as I hate to admit it, I don't like our odds of winning here. Do we have some kind of plan for kicking this thing's ass?"

"Insults, insults can physically him and anything and everything he creates using his powers. It's not as weird as it sounds, but yeah it's still weird. Still though, I'm not sure how effective it's gonna be against that thing now." then there was trembling, the stench of death filling the air.

"Well it looks like we're gonna find out soon enough." Koga looked up at the white dot in the sky.

That dot grew, another tear forming between Earth and Otherworld, being opened by a long red claw, courtesy of Janemba, who then pried the tear open with his bare hands.

"Well, here goes." Gohan flashed into Super Saiyan 2, with Koga readying his Raiso, Inuyasha his Tessaiga, Sango her Hiraikotsu, and Miroku, Kohaku and Kai the Kaioken 'Note to self, ask Miroku and Kohaku where they learned the Kaioken.'

Then Janemba fully emerged, his body now completely black and purple, a glowing black orb embedded directly in his head. His voice was warped and mangled in a way that made them all very uncomfortable "I… am… a god…"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Vegeta's head snapped in a certain direction "Kakarot."

Goku nodded "Yeah, no doubt about it. That's the thing I saw at the Check In Station, and Gohan is right next to it. Come on, we've gotta go."

"No."

"What? Are you out of your mind? That thing's way too strong for Gohan or any of those others to handle."

"You haven't seen what I've seen from them. They're strong, all of them. At this point, that one with the fur over his shoulder could beat either one of us if we went Super Saiyan 2."

"But-"

"This is his fight, and he has to finish it. If you care about your son then you'll let him finish this battle himself, without any sort of help from you."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"God, just looking at that thing makes my eyes burn." Kai muttered, his Kaioken 10x aura flaring around his body "Gohan you said that thing was strong, but I don't think anything deserves to be as strong as that. Except for you I mean."

"No time for flattery." Gohan said dryly "That thing has another dark jewel embedded in his body like the one Broly had on his necklace, from what I can tell his power has at least doubled. Lucky for us though I don't think he's tapped into the full power of that thing so we might have a chance to take him down."

Janemba let out an insane cackle and brought down his deformed claw, forcing all of those gathered to scatter into the air, his claws slicing through rocks like butter, leaving marks on the earth itself.

"Damn, that thing's fast." Koga muttered.

Then Janemba suddenly burst forward, sprouting gooey tentacles all over his body at random, striking Miroku first, with Sango following suit.

"Kaioken 20x!" Kai burst into his Kaioken 20x, an Explosive Demon Wave charging in his hand, and he fired it, the blast slamming into Janemba head on.

Janemba let out a shriek upon impact, being pushed back a great distance by the attack.

'So at least he can be damaged, he's powerful but his defense and durability clearly aren't what they were.'

Janemba suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of Kai, then slashed at him with his deformed claws, sending him flying through the air. Then he let out a deafening shriek that caused unleashed a shockwave that could be felt for miles around, leaving most of the warriors there disoriented.

Gohan was one of the few that remained able to stand 'Come on 17, we're gonna need those Senzu Beans ASAP.'

Janemba blitzed in front of Gohan, Sango and Miroku and sent them hurtling away with a mere sweep of his hand.

"Special Beam Cannon!" a golden crimson drill shot past Janemba and ended up colliding with his arm, courtesy of Kai.

Janemba let out a yowl of pain, then sent him flying to the heavens with a mere swing of his wrist.

'Now!' Koga finally managed to cross the distance, Raiso crackling with electricity as he quickly struck Janemba in the left eye.

Janemba shrieked in white hot agony and clutched his eye with one hand, leaving him wide open from the left side.

"Meido Zangetsuha!" Inuyasha suddenly fired a barrage of Meido blades from his Tessaiga, though it only managed to rip off one of Janemba's arms and the entire left side of his ribcage, exposing a gooey black substance inside it.

Janemba let out another howl of pain.

'Now!' seizing the chance, Gohan flashed back into his Dragon Saiyan 2 form, a red and brown ball of Ki forming in his hands "Dragon! Magma! Ka… Me… Ha… Me… HAAA!" he fired off a demonic lava powered Kamehameha, slamming into Janemba's right side "Now Sango!"

"Hiraikotsu!" Sango fired off Hiraikotsu, slamming into Janemba's already heavily damaged left side, the combined force of both attacks causing Janemba's shoulders to crack even further.

Janemba let out yet another shriek, before his head did a 180 twist and fired two Eye Beams, one being significantly weaker, knocking both of them away into the horizon. Then he set his sights on Kohaku and Koga.

"Kaioken 10x!" Kohaku's crimson aura flared into life as he charged forward to intercept the oncoming attack, only to be knocked across the cloudy sky faster than he was able to even blink.

This was when Koga had an idea 'Gohan said that insults hurt this thing before, it wouldn't hurt to at least check and see if that still applies. Ugly bastard! Filthy monster! Deformed jackass!"

Janemba just stared at him, tiny cracks forming along his chest, but he either didn't notice or didn't care as he charged forward and slashed Koga across the chest, then kicked him in the jaw and sent him flying clean through the clouds.

Miroku struggled to hold his ground, sensing something 'I have to buy enough time!' he charged forward, his staff radiating a crimson aura, and promptly brought it down as hard as he possibly could.

Janemba snapped the staff in half with one sweep of his claw, then slapped Miroku with his tail, sending him tumbling back.

"Enough!"

Janemba looked up and saw a white and purple spiked figure floating above him, holding a dark ball of energy, with only one name coming to mind 'Cooler…'

Sure enough, Cooler was above him charging a Death Ball "I'm going to put an end to this right now!" he fired off the Death Ball.

This was when Gohan showed up, back in his Dragon Saiyan 2 form "Cooler!"

"Formalities will have to wait Son Gohan, you have to hurry and attack him with everything you have!"

"Right! Masenko!" Gohan fired a quick Masenko.

Janemba's jaw cracked opened as he unleashed a Hell Gate blast.

"Dragon Burst!"

"Wolf Death Storm!"

"Backlash Wave!"

Three more blasts joined the fray, increasing the combined attack power to titanic proportions, but overall the combined blasts only managed to slow the attack speed of the Hell Gate blast to a mere crawl.

"Now!" Sango and Kohaku zoomed in, firing off Hiraikotsu and a chain sickle enhanced with Kohaku's own Ki, managing to finally halt the advance of the Hell Gate blast.

"Kaioken… 40x!" Kai's crimson aura flared higher than it ever had before "Ka… Me… Ha… Me… HAAAA!" he fired a full power Kamehameha, turning the tide of the beam struggle as the combined attacks finally began pushing Janemba back, closing the distance inch by inch.

Janemba tried to regain control of the clash, but it was in vain as they put more power into their attacks.

"ENOUGH!" Gohan's sun kissed orange aura flared even higher than before as he entered his Dragon Saiyan 3 form "I'M ENDING THIS RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!" he suddenly poured out every ounce of spare Ki he had left into the blast, finally overwhelming Janemba in a white hot explosion, before he finally powered down and collapsed to the ground.

"Well, looks like I picked the right time to show up."

Gohan looked to see 17 land on the ground, a brown bag in his hands "17… thank god…"

"Man you're in real bad shape, here go ahead and-"

"No… get the others first… they need it more than me…"

"I've only got about 6, there won't be enough by the time they all get one."

"Please… they're my friends… They always come before me…"

"If you say so." he then proceeded to pass one out to everyone else.

Gohan sat up and looked down at his practically destroyed gi, with both of his wrist bands fried and half of his top destroyed 'Great, now I'm gonna have to ask Piccolo to use his Clothes Beam to make a new gi for me.'

The smoke cleared and the blinding white light faded away, revealing Janemba, half of his face having been blown clean off, along with his entire right side.

"Well that's… just great…" Gohan forced himself to stand again, his Dragon Saiyan aura flaring into life once more.

Janemba let out a shriek, leaving everything a stark black and white color, with mountains and hills breaking off of the landscape and floating in mid air, as if gravity no longer applied.

"Dammit…"

"Gohan, I think it's safe to say we're screwed." Koga pointed out "Outside of a group effort you're probably the only one who can come even close to scratching this guy. If you've got any other tricks up your sleeve then now would be the time do show it off."

"...Well I've got one more attack that I've been working on, I call it the Dragon Supernova and it utilizes all 7 elements at once in conjunction with my own Ki. The only problem is that I don't think that psychopath will let give me enough time to charge it up." he watched as one of the floating mountains promptly smashed into Miroku and Kohaku, knocking the both of them out cold upon impact "Dammit."

"Lucky for you I've been working on something too, a new lightning based attack, then I can combine my attack with yours and that should be enough to finish this thing off for good. For now, all we can do is hope that the mutt and Sesshomaru and the others can hold him off until then."

"They're not the only ones here you know."

Gohan looked and saw 17 step up beside them "Oh right, you're here."

"You're welcome for the Senzu Beans by the way." note the dryness in his tone "Look, I'll try and hold that thing off while you guys prepare your attacks alright?" then he looked over to the others "Listen up guys, these two need all they can get to power up an attack strong enough to finish this guy. We're gonna buy them that time, got it?"

"Agreed." Sesshomaru drew his Bakusaiga, wiping his blood from the blade "Since you're the most refreshed out of all of us Android 17, I believe you should lead the effort."

"Fine by me, just be ready to hit that thing with everything you've got." 17 then charged forward at Janemba and fired off his Super Electric Strike, the force of the attack striking him directly across the chest.

Janemba was pushed back and let out a shriek, then sent 17 tumbling back with a mere flick of his tail.

"Wind Scar!" Inuyasha blitzed in front of Janemba and fired a Wind Scar, hitting Janemba at point blank range.

Janemba warped the entirety of the attack away using his Bunkai Teleport, nearly managing to hit Sesshomaru with it, then slapped Inuyasha with his tail, sending him stumbling back and nearly sending Tessaiga flying from his hands.

'Now!' having narrowly dodged the Wind Scar, Sesshomaru blitzed under Janemba's ribcage and thrusted his poison claw towards Janemba's chest.

Janemba caught the poison claw by the wrist before it made contact, and he merely smashed him to the surface with a whack of his tail, with broken shards flying off of Janemba's body.

"Kaioken 40x!" Kai charged in, pushing his Kaioken as high as his body could stand "Light Grenade!" he charged up Piccolo's most powerful technique, aside from the Special Beam Cannon, and fired itt at Janemba, engulfing him in an explosion.

Janemba emerged unscathed and sent Kai tumbling backwards with a mere sweep of both of his claws.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Goku was watching the battle from afar in amazement, with Vegeta by his side "No way, that's unreal."

"They're strong, all of them." Vegeta noted "You had your friends before Raditz showed up, now your son has found his own crew. He's grown up into a full fledged warrior, you should be proud of him."

"Yeah, and even Piccolo had more to do with it than me."

"Look at me, I barely even looked at Trunks when he was born. Face the facts Kakarot, Saiyans are not meant for parenting."

"...Well I'm not most Saiyans." Goku placed two fingers to his forehead and held out his hand towards Vegeta "Come on, let's go."

"I told you that we're not interfering with the fight."

"No, not there. We're going to New Namek."

"To do what exactly?"

"What do you think? We're gonna ask the Namekians to use the Namekian Dragon Balls to wish me back to life."

"You're serious?"

"I know I haven't been much of a father to Gohan, but that's about to change."

'He's really serious. Should I tell him that he had a second son before he died? No, it will be way more fun to see his reaction.'

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Gohan looked down at the battle from above as a ball of energy formed in his hands above his head, glowing red (fire), blue (water), brown (earth), yellow (lightning), green (wind), black (Yin), and white (Yang) 'Dammit, it's taking too long.'

"Gohan, just keep concentrating." Koga just held up his right hand, electricity crackling louder and louder along his Raiso claw with each passing moment "We only need a little more time and then we can finish this."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Hiraikotsu!" Sango shot Hiraikotsu forward, slamming into the side of Janemba's head, the force behind the strike breaking off one of Janemba's horns and shattering a good large part of his head.

Janemba shrieked and jerked back as he recoiled from the pain, uttering actual words for the first time in god knows how long "You hurt me… YOU HURT ME! DIIIIEEEE!" he slugged Sango directly in the face, sending her crashing into another floating island, splitting it clean in half upon impact and knocking her out cold.

'Great, now I'm the only one left.' Cooler braced himself.

Janemba looked to the sky and saw Gohan and Koga forcing their attacks together, now turning an electric blue color, and he knew that it could kill him if it hit. So he raised both of his claws, crimson lightning crackling along his arms, only to be hit by a Death Flash in the side, and his head snapped to the right to see Cooler standing before him.

"You forgot about me because you were so preoccupied, a very unwise decision. I doubt I'll have to hold him for very much longer, but I do know that these next few seconds have to count if any of us are going to make it out of this alive.' purple energy began building around his body, his muscles bulging "Take this! Nova Strike!" he shot forward like an angry ram, only purple and white and thousands of times faster, slamming head on into the remaining side of Janemba's face, burning into the flesh and sending him stumbling backwards.

Janemba shrieked in agony, his whole body growing rigid from the pain.

'Well that wasn't anywhere near enough to kill him, but by the looks of it he's still able to feel pain.' then he fell to one knee 'This isn't good, I used up most of my power on that attack.' then he blitzed upwards to meet Gohan and Koga "I'm just about out of power after that attack, if you plan on going through with this then it has to be now."

"Right." Gohan steadied himself, using the energy of the attack to push himself back into his Dragon Saiyan 3 form "Thanks for the help up to this point Koga, but let me take this one from here."

"Fine by me, just be sure to kick his ass." Koga let go of the attack, leaving Gohan to finish the battle on his own.

"Dragon… Supernova… STORM!" Gohan let out a roar and threw the massive attack downwards.

Janemba raised his hands up and caught the ball, only for the attack to begin burning his arms away.

"This! Ends! NOW!" Gohan used every ounce of strength he could dig up and pushed the attack further down on Janemba, and it finally exploded like a Supernova.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Goku suddenly froze and looked in the direction of Earth 'This massive energy, I've never felt anything like it.'

"Kakarot." Vegeta snapped him out of his thoughts "They're wishing you back to life, you could at least pretend to pay attention you know."

"Oh come on Vegeta, you sense that awesome power don't you?"

"That just means that your son is ending the battle with whatever the hell is causing the chaos back on Earth." then he looked up and smirked "Clearly you're so spaced out and lacking in brain cells that you haven't even noticed."

"Noticed what?"

"Take a look stupid." Vegeta pointed a finger.

Goku looked up and realized something "My halo, it's gone!"

"Congratulations stupid, you're alive again. Now come on and take us back to Earth already."

"Oh yeah, right." he grabbed Vegeta, placed two fingers on his forehead, and then they were gone in a flash.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hours passed.

"Gohan. Gohan! GOHAN!" voices kept calling out to him.

Gohan slowly opened his eyes and looked around, seeing Kai, Shippo, Kohaku, Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha, Koga, Sesshomaru and Kagome standing before him "All of you… you're okay…" he smiled slightly "That's good…"

"That's not good you idiot!" Kagome got up in his face, looking increasingly angry but with tears brimming in her eyes, and she wrapped her arms around him "Don't ever scare me like that again…"

"Sorry, but I wasn't… going to let all of you die…" then he looked around again "Where are 17 and Cooler?"

"17 went off to gather the Dragon Balls to undo all of the damage Janemba did, and Cooler went to bring that demon kid back to the Check In Station." Kai told him.

"I see… and where are we now?"

"Up on Kami's Lookout, Dende just finished healing you a little while ago. You messed yourself up really bad fighting that thing."

"Yeah…" Gohan sat up "No wonder I feel so sore."

"You took the beating of a lifetime, of course you'd be sore." then he gently helped Gohan to his feet "Come on, there's a surprise waiting for you outside."

"What?"

"Just come on." Kai led him outside.

Gohan's eyes widened when he saw the entirety of his friends and allies, the Z fighters and their supporters and allies, along with Cooler, standing there "Everyone… what's going on?"

"We don't know anymore than you do." Krillin told him "Dende just told us to bring everyone up here but he wouldn't say why."

"Weird, I wonder what's going on."

"I think I can answer that one."

Gohan, along with everyone else, looked to see Vegeta step out "Vegeta? I don't understand, what's going on?"

"Calm down Kakabrat, I'm about to tell you. Anyway, while you were fighting that hideous beast, I took a little trip to New Namek to pick a little something up, a gift for your victory I guess you could say." then he looked to the side "Alright stupid, get out here. He's been through enough."

"I don't…"

Then Goku stepped out with his classic Son grin "Hey guys, what's up?"

"GOKU!" beating everyone else to the punch, surprisingly enough, Krillin leapt into Goku's embrace "Is it really you, like for real?"

"Yeah it's me, and you're crushing my ribcage."

Chichi smiled softly "Oh sweetheart, I've missed you so much."

"I've missed you too Chichi, I've missed all of you." then he noticed what looked like a mini version of him hiding behind Chichi's leg.

"Goten, it's alright."

"Uh Chichi, I think there's a little me hiding behind your leg Chichi."

The little Goku, now known as Goten, shyly poked out his head "I'm Goten."

Goku slowly made his way forward "And I'm Goku, hi."

"...Daddy!" despite hesitating for a moment, Goten ran into Goku's embrace.

Goku caught him and sat him on his shoulder "It's great to be back everybody, I'm really sorry I've been gone so long. But get this, Vegeta got the Namekians to use their Dragon Balls to bring me back so I'm not dead anymore."

"You're kidding me." Chichi began tearing up "You mean we're going to live together as a family of 4 in our little house?"

"Well that's what I was hoping for, if you can put up with me that is."

Chichi instantly ran into embrace and began sobbing.

"There there Chichi, it's alright. Gosh, you didn't cry this much when I died did you? But you don't have to worry, I'm back for good. I love you, I really do." then he looked around "It looks like I've really missed out on a lot haven't I? A bunch of old faces are back, some of which I find kind of unnerving." note how he was looking at Cooler and Broly when he said this "And a bunch of new faces I've never seen before, but all of you seem really strong." then he looked over at Kai, now no longer supporting Gohan "I'm guessing from the outfit you've been training with Piccolo."

Kai tried not to faint or act like some kind of fanboy "Y-Yes sir, you're Son Goku right? As in champion of the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament?"

"You really know your stuff don't you, but seriously feel free to just call me Goku."

"Yes sir- I mean Goku."

"I already know who you are Kai." then he grinned again "And I honestly wanted to thank you for looking after my son for as long as you have."

"There's nothing for you to thank me for, I stayed by Gohan's side all this time because he's my friend and that's all there is to it."

"I see." then he looked over in Kagome's direction "And who's she? There's this weird energy coming from her, really strong too."

"That would be Kagome, she's Gohan's girlfriend as of about a year ago."

"I see." then he looked at Kagome and smiled warmly "Well then, Kagome was it? Welcome to the family."

Kagome blushed slightly, but smiled "Thank you."

"Hey, anyone Gohan cares about that much is alright in my book."

"So that's where he gets his carefree attitude from." Koga commented, then looked around only to realize that Gohan wasn't there "Hey, where'd he go?"

Piccolo shared a look with Sesshomaru nodded 'Gohan took off while Goku was talking to Kai, probably after that sinister energy a ways away.'

Sesshomaru's frown deepened 'There's only one being that could have a demonic energy this dark and malicious. It must be Magatsuhi. Now the question is Son Gohan, what are you going to do?'

Gohan found himself in a familiar wasteland 'This desert, this is where I fought Cell, where I first awakened my Dragon Saiyan power. It figures he'd try and bring me back to my roots just to emotionally torture me. I know you're here not come out, stop hiding like a coward and show yourself already Magatsuhi."

Sure enough, Magatsuhi materialized in front of Gohan, taking on the same form he had from when he borrowed Naraku's flesh (Inuyasha: The Final Act, episode 17), and shot Gohan an arrogant smirk "Well well, so you knew that this is where I would be did you?"

"I don't know what sort of angle you're playing at Magatushi but it's not going to work, whatever scheme you're plotting my friends and I will stop you faster than you can even blink."

"Oh is that so? The same friends who have been utterly helpless in the face of every threat you've faced and who you've had to save time and time again? Please, your friends are pathetic weaklings just like you. You've only gotten lucky up to this point, nothing more. In one year's time I will personally annihilate you and everyone and everything you love, including that pitiful priestess."

"You'll do nothing of the sort!" Gohan instantly flashed into his Dragon Saiyan 3 form and fired a Masenko.

Magatsuhi somehow fazed through the attack, his smirk remaining in place "Pitiful Saiyan trash, as if I'd stoop so low as to approach the likes of you in person. In one year's time, everyone and everything you know and love will cease to exist in the burning fury of my vengeance. Make this last year count Son Gohan, for it will be your last." and with that, he disappeared, leaving Gohan alone in the barren wasteland.

"When you do come back, I will be ready to face you and bring this story to a close."

"But you won't be alone."

Gohan spun around and found Goku standing behind him, looking deadly serious, a sight actually quite rare for him "Dad…"

"Sesshomaru, Piccolo and Vegeta all filled me in, I know who and what Magatsuhi is and what he's capable." then his eyes softened "I also know what you've been going through these past few years. Gohan, you know I never meant to hurt you. I did what I thought was best for the Earth."

"Yeah, and look how that turned out." then Gohan let out a long sigh "But that doesn't matter anymore, it's painfully clear to me now that Magatsuhi is a problem that won't go away on its own." he firmly grasped Goku's shoulder "Both of us and everyone else need to prepare ourselves dad, because as of this moment, from this day forth, we are at war with Magatsuhi, a war only one side can win, and if that side isn't us then this world, as well as this entire universe, is doomed to an eternity of darkness."

A/N:

Just for the sake of getting this out of my system and telling how much fun I had while writing this, I had a f*cking field day with this chapter.

Just to be clear, that dance from Gohan at the beginning was a parody of the Risky Business dance scene. I've been trying to include that in one of my fics for ages and I figured now was as good a time as any.

For the record, since Gohan kept training and Future Trunks is around more than in canon, Vegeta is stronger than in canon.

As you can tell I'm making Broly a very deep thinker in this one. It only makes sense since his original personality was so 1 dimensional.

I couldn't help myself, adding in that little thing with the Ginyu Force from TFS. By far some of my favorite episodes.

Why did I give Gohan Super Saiyan 3? The better question is, why not? There are foes that Super Saiyan 2 can't defeat, but 3 can.

Just to be clear, Gohan's Dragon Saiyan form doubles the power of the form he was already using.

I know Goku coming back to life kind of nullifies any purpose for Gohan's character development throughout this story to begin with, but he's critical for pulling off the upcoming war with Magatsuhi in this next story arc. My second original story arc by the way, the first one being in my Dragon Reaper fic, also featuring Magatsuhi.

Okay, funny stuff over, time to get serious. (Deep sigh) As unfortunate as this is, I have no choice but to take a brief hiatus from writing fanfiction on account of the fact that I'm a senior in high school and my grades are going down the toilet as a result of me spending way too much time on fanfiction. I am deeply sorry about this and I hope you understand, and I promise that I will be back as soon as I have things sorted out.
