Well Millionaire Fans This Is It, The Final Part Of Gohan's Run For The Million Dollars. Were About To Find Out If Gohan Can Go All The Way & Take Home A Million Dollars, But Just Remember I Only Own My OCs In My Fanfics, Thank You.
After the last commercial was aired we return to the show where we hear the audience still applauding as we go back to the center of the set & get a close shot of Gohan who was holding a check for $75,000 on it.
"Gohan from Japan, holding a check for $75,000 at this point & is set to go for $150,000 in just a moment." Shawn said. "Gohan, If I may ask you something real quick."
"Sure." Gohan said.
"Well when you first came to this studio to try & win some money for your future scholarship." Shawn said. "How much money were you hoping to win so that sort of thing could happen?"
"Ooh... Well I was hoping to win at least $30,000 for a scholarship." Gohan answered.
"$30,000? Quite a decent amount, but your guaranteed at least $50,000 then your covered for a scholarship no matter what." Shawn said.
"I know that! But that's not the only reason why I came here." Gohan said surprising Shawn.
"It isn't? Then what else made you decide to come on this show then besides the scholarship thing?" Shawn asked him.
"Well ever since Dad died at the Cell Games months ago. I've worked my hardest to be the man of the house & take care of my Mom like Dad asked me too." Gohan said. "So when Dad told me about Millionaire & how he was on the show, which led me to learn how my Mom & my Grandpa came on this show too. I decided to tryout for Millionaire & try to win enough money to help my Mom out."
"I see, well Gohan that's a very responsible thing your doing. Taking care of your Mom in your Dad's absence & try to win enough money to help set you & Mom up for life." Shawn said. "If Goku was watching you at this point, I know he would be so proud of you for this."
"Yeah! I Know." Gohan said as we again see Goku in the audience looking very proud at Gohan after hearing that brief speech.
"Of course I know I would be. Cause look at how far you've gotten thanks to those studies, just goes to show it pays to be home-schooled." Shawn said. "I know it helped me already."
After hearing Shawn make that little remark, some of the audience members began to chuckle to themselves a little bit.
"All right let's get back into this, you have $75,000 at this point & your only 4 questions away from One Million Dollars." Shawn said as we get a glimpse at the money tree again. "2 lifelines still remain, going for $150,000. If your ready, let's play."
With that the lights began to go down again, & once they hit the ground they all went off leaving the room nearly pitch-dark except for the center of the set where Shawn & Gohan are, as for Shawn he begins to read the next question.
"All right Gohan, What nation's flag feature a "yin-yang" symbol in the center?" Shawn asked as he starts to read out the possible choices. "South Korea...Vietnam...Thailand...Laos."
Once Shawn had finished, Gohan starts to think about the question & more importantly the yin-yang symbol.
"Hmm.. The yin-yang symbol on the center of a nation's flag. Well I know the yin & yang represents the light & dark, but I can't remember which nation had it on the center of it's flag." Gohan said. "Though I am leaning towards two answers."
"And which answers are they?" Shawn asks him.
"I'm leaning towards South Korea or Thailand at this point." Gohan said. "Cause I think that either one of those nations are familiar with the symbol."
"Is that so? We'll it could be that or the other two nations, but don't expect me to know that." Shawn said. "Just remember this though, you still have two lifelines left & if you miss you lose $25,000."
"I'm aware. Hmm... maybe if I use that 50/50 lifeline I could narrow down to 2 answers, but for some reason I'm starting to feel confident it's South Korea." Gohan said.
"Starting to sound confident on South Korea, I wonder why cause you were debating with either South Korea or Thailand a minute ago." Shawn said to Gohan.
"I was, but the more I thought about it the more I began to feel that South Korea was more involved with the yin-yang symbol." Gohan said to Shawn.
We begin to circle around center stage for a bit as Gohan continues to think about the answer he's discussing. "But then again, It might not be South Korea."
"That's a possibility Gohan. But it's your call." Shawn said.
Gohan thinks it over for a few more seconds & then decides. "Okay, I'll go for it & say South Korea's flag has the yin-yang in the center."
"Going for the $150,000, & your saying South Korea is your Final Answer." Shawn says.
"South Korea, Final." Gohan said as the answer gets highlighted making it an official lock in.
Shawn looks down at his computer monitor for another moment & then says. "Just won $150,000." That's when the entire audience began to applaud with excitement as Gohan looked thrilled about getting it right.
($150,000)
Gohan sighs in relief as the lights suddenly go down & turn off again as Shawn holds out a check for $150,000 for the half-saiyan.
"Your really going up in the money world, just look at this. A check for $150,000 & it's all yours." Shawn said. "And you know something else."
"What?" Gohan asks.
"You've manage to beat your own Mom's winning total." Shawn said as Gohan looked surprised. "She had $75,000 & you have $150,000 at this moment."
"How about that!" Gohan said chuckling to himself some more.
"But besides that your now just 3 away from the million, still got those 2 lifelines on the table." Shawn said. "Now should you miss this next question you'll lose $100,000 & go back to $50,000, but here we go right now for $325,000. Let's check it out."
Gohan nods with approval as he & Shawn look down at their respective monitors showing the 13th question for the whole game, Gohan's going for serious money now.
"Pollex is the medical term for which of these parts of the human body?" Shawn asks. "Bellybutton...Ankle...Nose...Thumb."
After reading that question, Gohan started to smirk at first then began to chuckle to himself a little catching Shawn's attention once again. "What's so funny?"
"I actually know this one." Gohan said as some of the audience sound a bit surprised. "I'm not kidding I really know this."
"Whoever said I didn't believe you." Shawn said as the audience begins to laugh a bit from that joke. "But did you say you actually know this question?"
"Yeah! Cause I remember reading about this in my since study books back at home. And I remember reading about Pollex on it." Gohan said.
"Well what did it say?" Shawn asked starting to sound a bit intrigued.
"It said that a pollex is another saying for your thumb in medical term." Gohan said. "It came from the medical study book, so I'm pretty confident to play this one."
"Okay then, but remember if your wrong then $100,000 goes down the tube." Shawn said. "Depending if you get the right answer though."
"No, I'm very sure it's Thumb. I'll go for it." Gohan said.
"Final Answer then?" Shawn asks him.
"Yep, Thumb Final Answer." Gohan says as the answer Thumb now becomes locked in.
Shawn looks down at his screen for a quick moment as he says. "You had $150,000 & decided to risk it with the answer Thumb, knowing that $100,000 is at risk." Gohan looks up at Shawn while he awaits for the result, after a moment or two Shawn looks up at Gohan.
"And now he's got $325,000, Thumb is right." Shawn said as he high fives Gohan.
"All right." Gohan said with excitement as the audience began to massively applaud him some more.
($325,000)
"That was amazing Gohan." Shawn said as the lights go down once more returning the room to the state it was in before while Shawn now hold up a check for $325,000 on it. "Look at all this money your winning here."
Gohan extends his arm out & grabs hold of the check with Shawn. "Didn't think I'd be winning this much? But I am." After he said that sentence, he ends up drawing some laughter from the audience.
"Well that's only because you've done so well with these questions & it was all thanks to the studies you've done over the years." Shawn said. "So now your only 2 questions away from becoming a Millionaire. You still have those 2 lifelines by your side, this next question is for $500,000. That's Half A Million Dollars my friend."
"Yeah, but I bet there's a downside to this." Gohan said.
"There is, & it's this. If you miss this next question then you'll lose $275,000 & Drop down to $50,000. So just remember that those lifelines are there to help you out." Shawn said. "With that in mind here comes your Half A Million Dollar question."
So with that said, Shawn & Gohan look down at their screens again as Shawn now starts to read out the 14th question out of 15 for this game.
"Which country's unique national flag bears different emblems on its obverse and reverse sides?" Shawn asks as he now starts to read out the 4 possible answers to Gohan. "Chile...Guyana...Paraguay...Ecuador."
Now Gohan starts to think cautiously over the question that was just read to him, knowing that $500,000 is on the line.
"Hmm... didn't think I'd face another question involving a nation's flag." Gohan said.
"You'd be surprised at how each question is sorted out." Shawn said. "Heck even I don't know what the question is before it comes up."
"Heh heh, that's for sure." Gohan said before looking at the question again & starts to think it over. "A nation flag that bears different emblems on both obverse & reverse sides. Man, I don't have a clue for this one. Cause I don't remember looking this sort of thing up in my studies."
Shawn looks up at Gohan for a brief moment as he sips some water from his cup before looking down at his screen again as Gohan continues to think hard & carefully knowing what's at stake.
"If I may make a suggestion, You can use one of your lifelines & see if it can help." Shawn said. "But that's my suggestion. What do you think you should do?"
"Hmmmm... Well I could use my 50/50 lifeline & narrow it down by two answers." Gohan said. "Cause there was one answer I was leaning towards too."
"Ooh?" Shawn asks.
"Yeah, I was thinking it might be Chile. But I'm just not sure." Gohan said as he rubs his chin. "All right, let's go 50/50 here."
"Very well Gohan it's your call." Shawn said. "Computer please take away 2 wrong answer & leave Gohan 1 wrong answer & 1 correct answer."
Once Shawn said that, the computer goes ahead & eliminates two random answers leaving only A & C remaining. "Looks like Chile is still there." Gohan looks it over again now real quick, but still looks a bit unsure.
"You know if this was a $1,000 question then I'd go for it. But with this much money at stake, I'm just not sure if I want to take that kind of risk yet." Gohan said.
"Just take your time Gohan, cause after all this is for $500,000." Shawn said. "And you still have one lifeline left if you want to use it."
As Shawn said that, Gohan would absorb what he said into his thoughts & thinks it over. And after a few moments of thinking, he then says. "I'm gonna have to Phone-A-Friend, I need help bad."
"Sure thing, so who do you want to call?" Shawn asks.
"Can I call my Mom?" Gohan asks back.
"Oh your Mom, well sure if you want." Shawn said. "But why do you want to call her?"
"I figured she's pretty smart, & she did win $75,000 when she was on here. Maybe she could help out on this question." Gohan tells Shawn. "And plus it's like that old saying Mother know best."
After saying that, Gohan ends up drawing a little laughter from the audience as Shawn said. "Oh yeah, that saying. Okay well let's hope she can be able to help, so let' get...Uhh what was her name again?"
"I think it's Chi-Chi." Gohan answered.
"Right, right. Let's go ahead & get Chi-Chi on the line." Shawn said.
And so everyone began to wait as we hear the phone ringing from the background for a moment or so, and that's when somebody answers the phone.
"Hello."
"Hello, Chi Chi?" Shawn asks.
"Yes, Who is this?"
"Remember me, this is Shawn K. from Millionaire from calling." Shawn answered.
"SHAWN! Oh my gosh. It's been a while."
"Yes it has, but listen we're calling because somebody needs your help right now." Shawn said. "And that's your son Gohan."
"Gohan! Well why didn't you say so. Hi sweetie."
"Hi Mom." Gohan replied blushing a bit to himself.
"But I can tell you right now Chi Chi your son has done amazing job so far. So well he's even surpassed you." Shawn said. "Cause right now he's on $325,000 & is about to go for $500,000."
"WOW, $500,000. Looks like his studies have been paying off."
"Agreed! But right now he needs your help on this one." Shawn said. "Cause we're dealing with a lot of money at this point."
"If it means my son winning enough money to set him up for life, I'm willing to help."
"Very Good, so in a moment Gohan will read you the question & 2 possible answers. Only reason is because he used 50/50 first, but one of those answers is the correct answer." Shawn said. "So if you give Gohan the right answer, then he'll get a shot at One Million Dollars. You ready?"
"Ready."
"Good. All tight Gohan your Mom's all set, so you've got 30 seconds & your time starts now." Shawn said as the 30 second clock comes up & starts.
"Okay Mom. Which country's unique national flag bears different emblems on its obverse and reverse sides? Chile or Paraguay." Gohan says to his Mom as their's now 22 seconds left on the clock.
"Hmm.. Let's see... I think I might know this one. It's supposed to be Paraguay's flag."
"You sure?" Gohan asked.
"Of course I'm sure Gohan, I've read this in the books before. So I'm 100% percent certain it's Paraguay."
"All right then, thanks Mom." Gohan said.
"Your very welcome, now try to win some money & good luck. Mommy loves you."
After saying that she hangs up ending the connection with just 11 seconds left as Gohan looked a bit blushed.
"Well she sounds quite confident it's Paraguay, while you were thinking it was Chile." Shawn said. "So now the only question is, what are you going to do?"
Gohan starts to think that over for a minute about whether to go with his instinct, go with his Mom, or go with walking away.
"She sounded very sure it was Paraguay yeah. Though she is pretty smart, I'm just not sure yet." Gohan said. "I'm gonna have to think this over a minute."
"Sure, you do that. No time limit, take as much time as you need." Shawn said. "You've got $325,000 at this point & you can walk with that money still. That is, if you want to though."
So Gohan starts to think for a minute as he again looks over the question in front of him, knowing that it's worth half a million dollars. While up in the audience, Goku watches on hoping Gohan makes the right choice. After another minute of thoughts, Gohan finally makes his decision.
"I'll play." Gohan said.
"Your gonna go for it?" Shawn asks. "Knowing that there's a risk of losing $275,000."
"Yep, I'm taking the risk & go with my Mom on this one, I sure hope she's right." Gohan said. "So... I'll say Paraguay, C!"
"Going with Paraguay, Final Answer?" Shawn asks.
"Final Answer." Gohan answers as Paraguay is now locked in by the computer.
Now Shawn looks at his screen for a moment as Gohan awaits for the results, & that's when Shawn would look up to him & say. "You chose to trust your Mom, & it paid off. You got Half A Million Dollars." After saying that Gohan puts his hands over his head & makes a big happy gap as everyone began to applaud with excitement.
($500,000)
And so after an amazing moment of applauding from the audience, the lights go down once again as the room returns to a pitch black as Gohan looked really thrilled at this moment. While Shawn holds up a check for $500,000.
"Well... Aren't you glad you called your Mom on that one?" Shawn asks. "Because thanks to her, your now at $500,000. Only the 6th contestant in this franchise to win that much money."
"Man! This is quite an honor." Gohan said as he looked very proud at the moment.
"The honor is all yours." Shawn said. "And now, the moment we've been waiting for. The climatic conclusion to this game, just one more question to go Gohan, just one more."
As Shawn tells him that, we can see the money tree showing Gohan now on $500,000 & 3 red X's covering the 3 lifelines. That means they're all gone.
"This is the 6th time we get to see the One Million Dollar question. So Gohan, if you decide to go for it & get it right. Then you will become our very 1st Million Dollar winner." Shawn said. "However though, if you get it wrong. Then you lose $450,000."
After hearing Shawn say that, Gohan gulps a little as he says. "That's a lot to lose."
"It sure is, & Trust me we don't want that to happen. Not tonight!" Shawn said. "You've got no more lifelines left, so at this point, it's all up to you. Feelin' nervous at this point."
"A little." Gohan answered. "But I'm ready for it."
"That's all I needed to hear." Shawn said. "This is it, The One Million Dollar Question. Ready to see it?"
"Ready." Gohan said.
"Very well then, it all comes down to this." Shawn said. "Here it is, for the Million Dollars."
With that said Gohan puts on his serious face as he & Shawn look down at their respective screens & on it appeared the One Million Dollar Question.
"What is the name for a Japanese paper or silk wall hanging with a roller at the bottom?" Shawn asks as he now began to read out the 4 possible answers. "Hokemana...Ikebana...Okayama...Kakemono."
Up in the audience we see Goku locking in an answer with his keypad as he watches Gohan with anticipation knowing his son is going for the big prize.
"One of these 4 answers will make you a Millionaire Gohan." Shawn said as he sees Gohan reading over the question carefully.
"A Japanese paper or silk wall hanging. Hmm, I think I might've seen something like this before." Gohan said.
"Really, I guess since you live in Japan you might've seen this thing before?" Shawn asks.
"Yeah that, & I think I remember having something like this before at home a long time ago." Gohan said. "Had it for a few years before we gave it away, considering it was time to move on."
The audience starts to laugh a little about this, including Goku who remembers that moment as he whispers to the person next to him. "It's true, I was there when we gave it away."
"We all know when it's time to move on, I should know cause that sort of thing happened to me on a few occassions." Shawn said. "But is there a chance you might remember it's name by chance."
Gohan thinks for a second while looking down at the answers real quick. And that's when he says. "I think it might be Kakemono, though I could be wrong."
"Could be or could be not, that is the question." Shawn said. "Although if it is wrong then you know what'll happen."
"I remember." Gohan said as he looks at the question. "But... I'm really starting to think it's Kakemono."
As Gohan starts to think about this some more, he helps himself to a glass of water & drink a little of it. Once putting the cup down, he looks over the question once more.
"Gohan, I can tell you this. The 5 other people that have seen the Million Dollar question all walked away, because they know they don't want to lose a bundle." Shawn said. "So the question is this, are you willing to take this risk & go for it. Or do you choose to walk away."
After Shawn said that, he sits back & watches Gohan think it over. Trying to think of what he should do, take the money & go home. Or risk it & go big.
"Shawn... I've been thinking about this." Gohan said. "And you know what I decided."
"What?" Shawn asked Gohan.
"I decided... that I'm gonna go for the Million." Gohan said as it brings out some gasps from the audience of surprise, even Goku looked surprised.
"Your going to go for the Million, knowing that you'd lose $450,000 if your wrong." Shawn said.
"Yep." Gohan answered.
"Your a very brave kid Gohan." Shawn said.
"Thanks." Gohan said.
"No prob... So what's it going to be Gohan?" Shawn asks.
Gohan looks down at the 4 options one last time, & that's when he says. "I'll go with Kakemono."
"Okay... And is that your... Final Answer?" Shawn asks.
Once Shawn asks them that, for the last time. The Half-Saiyan takes a deep breath before saying. "D: Kakemono, Final Answer." And with that the answer Kakemono becomes highlighted in orange, locking it in.
"It's official, Gohan has answered the Million Dollar question. Could've chose to walk with $500,000 knowing that he'd lose $450,000 if he was wrong." Shawn said. "And after all this I've got just one thing to say, Gohan."
Gohan looks up at Shawn to see & hear what he has to say as Goku listened in as well. As for Shawn he stares at Gohan for a few more moments, then with one big breath. Shawn yells out. "You just made history YOU WON A MILLION DOLLARS!"
"YYEEEEEEEAAAAAAHH!" Gohan shouts as all the lights go up & spin around like crazy while everyone began to cheer & scream with excitement as Goku look both shocked & excited seeing his son win the big one.
Son Gohan: MILLIONAIRE
Shawn now all filled with excitement jumps out of his seat & hugs Gohan as he says. "You made my day kid, You made my day." As he said that, all sorts of confetti, streamers, & balloons began to fall from the ceiling. While Gohan isn't looking, Shawn signals Goku to come down.
"That's my cue." Goku said as he finally comes out of hiding & proceeds to walk down the lighted stairs.
"Gohan, I think there's someone who want's to congratulate you." Shawn said as Gohan turns around & when he sees Goku, he looks shocked.
"DAD!" Gohan shouts as he runs to him & hugs him tightly. "YOUR HERE, YOUR REALLY HERE!"
" I sure am." Goku said as he hugs Gohan some more as the audience & Shawn applaud some more.
After a minute of celebration, Shawn goes ahead & walks up to the saiyans & says. "Okay you two, let's sit back down for a moment." So Gohan goes ahead & sits back down in his seat as Goku stands next to him by his left while Shawn stands next to Gohan on his right.
"So... I could tell from your reaction Gohan, you didn't expect to see your Dad here did you?" Shawn asked.
"No I didn't... I thought he was, you know." Gohan said still sounding flabbergasted.
"Yes well... I have a confession to make, I was the one that brought him here." Shawn told the young saiyan.
"You did, but How?" Gohan asks the host surprisingly.
"Well you see, when I knew you would be on the show. I knew you would be coming alone. So I decided to visit Baba the fortuneteller & ask her to bring me to the Other World to see Goku after I told her that you Gohan was going to be on Millionaire. So she happily took me their & that's where I asked King Yemma if I could see Goku, & would you believe he was fine with that cause he knew what I was actually up too. Fells like that guy can read my every thought." Shawn said as he ends up causing everyone to laugh a little. "Anyways, he told me to travel along Snake Way to find him. So I took his advice & followed Snake Way. And that's where I found Goku traveling with King Kai at the time. And he was very surprised to see me & he thought I was dead. But did I have a halo over my head, no sir I didn't. So I talked to Goku about all this & he sounded pretty excited to hear the news. So he decided to follow me to Earth to see Gohan on the show & here we are. Although before we left, King Yemma told me that Goku can only stay on Earth for 24 hours & then he must return to the Other World. So I knew we'd have this episode finished by then. And that's pretty much it, Goku's here now & with you. But I'm pretty sure Goku didn't expect to see Gohan win a Million Dollars, did you Goku?"
"Nope! And I can tell you right now." Goku said as he leaned towards Gohan. "I've never been more proud of you than ever before Gohan."
"Thanks Dad." Gohan said as tears began to build up inside him.
"Gohan, I must ask. When you came onto this show, you were hoping to win enough money to not only set up your scholarship. But set you & your family up for life." Shawn said. "Well with that One Million Dollars, I think you'll be able to do just that."
"Guess so. And Shawn, I can tell you right now. This is probably my biggest moment in my life." Gohan said. "I'll never forget this moment."
"I know you won't. Cause now it's official. This families Millionaire legacy began with Goku winning himself $1,000." Shawn said as he points to Goku who smiled back. "Then came The Ox King winning $12,500, following him was Chi-Chi who won $75,000. And now Gohan, the youngest member of the family makes history today cause after 142 episodes of waiting. Gohan becomes the very 1st & so far, youngest contestant to ever win this show's biggest cash prize. One Million Dollars, let's hear it for him."
With that the audience began to throw in a massive round of applauds for Gohan as Shawn hands him the check for a Million. "There you go, buddy. You earned it."
"Thanks!" Gohan said as he jumps off the hot seat & shows the check to his dad. "Boy, Wait until Mom hears about this."
With that both Goku & Gohan began to laugh in happiness together as the audience continue to applaud for Gohan some more.
"Well Gohan, I know Goku has to return to the Other World very soon. So I'll let you two spend some time together before he goes." Shawn said as he shakes his hand. "Good luck with your life, & thanks again. You did this show a favor."
"Your welcome." Gohan said as Shawn now shakes Goku's hand.
"And Goku, thanks again for making it to the show. You got to witness history in the making." Shawn said.
"I sure did, thanks for letting me come." Goku said.
"Folks, let's hear it one more time for Gohan, our very 1st Million Dollar Winner." Shawn said as the audience began to applaud even louder.
As they do so, Goku & Gohan walk off laughing together with happiness, then they both began to wave to everyone in the audience as Gohan said. "Thanks you guys." And with that last sentence, Goku & Gohan left the stage who will ever be remembered as the show's 1st Millionaire.
Once the clip was over we return to Shawn who was still seating in the same seat he was in earlier as he stood up from the seat.
"Now that was a history making night. Gohan, A saiyan who defeated Cell ends up winning a Million Dollars. Fulfilling his families legacy." Shawn said as he walked back to his usual spot by the entrance. "And trust me, we were very happy he won it. Cause waiting 142 episodes for a Million Dollars to be win is too long in my book, but hey. When someone wins the prize, I always feel thrilled for them. Cause if their's one thing I love about this show, it's giving away a Million Dollars. Well I hope you've enjoyed watching some Millionaire history with us, I know I did. And be sure to expect more Millionaire history in the future & as well as the show itself cause you never know when we might give away a Million Dollars to another luck contestant. So until the next time we meet, this is Shawn K. signing off, I'll see you next time."
So with that Shawn goes ahead & walks off the set as the lights began to spin around the room again while we fade into black, thus ending the segment. For real this time.
Well that's it folks. You've just witnessed Gohan's entire run to the Million Dollars. I've hope you've enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it, So until the next time we do this again, please read & review. Thank You!
