"Gohan!" Piccolo exclaims as his student's/best friend's Ki completely disappears. As he powers up he says the only thing he can say in this situation. "Don't worry Gohan, I'm coming! Just don't be dead!" he yells as a tear makes it's way down his green cheeks.
'I don't know what I would do if I lost you, kid.' he thinks in his rushing mind. Suddenly an image appeared before him making another tear fall. The image of Gohan smiling and saying his name. He thought he even heard a 'Mister Piccolo', but perhaps it was only an echo.
Goku, after he woke up, cradled his two sons with desperation. It wasn't a dream. That was what made his heart ache. He turned his head to stare at his son named Gohan. Grey eyes stared back at him. More tears stained his pale cheeks as he cried out, too filled with despair to notice the world around him.
"G-Gohan.." Piccolo says just above a whisper, shocked at his student's lifeless form. Goku's eyes shot open as his head flung to look at Piccolo.
He is only met with a pitying glance. "What happened?" the green Namekian asked while holding back tears.
Tell me, oh tell me, the way it works
As Goku explains everything Piccolo is bewildered. Gohan? Sacrificing himself? It was righteous but he had lots of friends and family he would leave behind.
Who is that inside of me?
Right?
Here in this broken-down, broken-down world,
Wrong. The only true person who truly cared for him was Piccolo. All the others were concerned about Gohan's Saiyan blood not his personality, accomplishments, or any of that. How dare they defile Gohan's corpse like that! Gohan was much better then them.
You laugh, without seeing a thing
'Much better then those cowards.' Piccolo thought bitterly. 'All the things Gohans done and they still only consider Goku a hero. Hmph.'
I'm just so damaged, I hold my breath
Goku, however, was having completely different thoughts. 'Why would he do this for me? Me of all people! All I do is train, eat, and sleep.' he sighed at the truth in those thoughts. He truly was never there to support his family or friends.
Not even the truth, no not even the truth
Gohan stared at his feet silently awaiting punishment. He visibly shuddered as the last person in front of him was sentenced. He took a deep breath and took a small step forward, nervous. King Yemma (Yemma?) looked down to regard Gohan and sighed.
Can be unravelled now
"Your one of the tougher cases." he stated with grimace. It made Gohan even more nervous. But Gohan knew what was coming to him. It was plain as day.
Freeze
Hell.
Breakable, unbreakable; shakeable, unshakeable
King Yemma sighed once more and opened a large book with Gohan's name on it. "You have done many good things, Gohan. But what you have just done is technically known as suicide. You know what that means, don't you?"
When I found you, it shook me
Gohan slowly nodded his head while his body refused to stop shaking. He thought when he went to the Otherworld it would be different. He would be different. Alas, fate was never on his side. He knew what was going to happen.
In this twisted world, I'm gradually growing transparent and vanishing
King Yemma looked at Gohan with a serious face and understood Gohan's regret. "Gohan, whatever you do in hell doesn't concern me, but please do not harbour hatred for me or anyone else that exists." and with that King Yemma stamped using an object with the world hell on it.
Don't look for me; don't look at me
Suddenly an immense gravity drags him down, and he screams, wishing for this nightmare to finally end. But then he realized something and stopped screaming.
I don't wish to hurt you in a world
It never would end, and it never has ended. It's just an endless cycle, all of it. And that made Gohan tear up as he fell in water.
Of someone else's imagining
He gasped and jumped out of the water immediately, then he realized who was surrounded by. "Well that's Frieza, Cell, Ginryu force, Bardock, Brolly, Turles, Nappa, and Raditz." he spoke aloud, breaking the eerie silence. "Well shit."
Remember who I am
Suddenly Gohan realized who he was with and started running for his dear life. But before he could get anywhere, Bardock grabbed his shirt removing all hopes of escaping.
My full, vivid self
"Hey… guys… You not going to hurt me, right..?" he asked looking nervous as he hung, suspended by his shirt.
Entangled in the loneliness that fans out endlessly,
"Brat, what are you doing here?" Raditz asked with the envy to slaughter the half-breed.
Stung by the memories of smiling so innocently
"Well, you see. That's kind of a long story… and I'm sure you guys are very, very busy people. So I'll just go and be out of your hair… yeah." he explained awkwardly, trying to get out of Bardock's hold. But Bardock wouldn't let go.
I can't move, I can't move, I can't move, I can't move,
"Oh no, we have all the time in the universe to listen to this long story of yours. So go ahead." Cell smirked victoriously. The other villains nodded with the same smirk as Cell.
I can't move, I can't move!
"Yeah, about that.. You see..!" Gohan suddenly turned Super Saiyan and kicked Bardock in the face making him release Gohan.
Unravelling the world
"Ah! You little brat!" Bardock exclaimed as he started to power up and get ready to chase Gohan who had already taken to the skies, but a hand on his shoulder stopped him.
I've completely changed; I couldn't change back
"We'll get him another day. Besides, he must be here for a reason, so perhaps we could use that to our advantage." Cell explained as Bardock nodded.
The two entwine; the couple perishes
Gohan finally felt the tears that were, before, on the verge of falling, fall. He breathed heavily, not used to so many enemies at once or hell's atmosphere. He just wanted to go home, but he couldn't, not anymore.
Breakable, unbreakable; shakeable, unshakeable
The realization dawns upon him as he stops dead in his tracks. He could never, ever go home. This was now his new home, whether he liked it or not. He flew down and walked into an abandoned cave. (No, I'm not going to put a random villain as a jump scare).
I won't defile you
He sits down at a comfortable-looking spot and bangs his head against the wall in a daze. "I can never go home." he repeats aloud as he suddenly fell asleep.
In this shook-up, twisted world I'm gradually growing transparent and vanishing
Goten, after 3 days of sleeping wakes up slowly. "Gohan-" he was interrupted by the realization that Gohan was dead. Tears welled up in his eyes and he attempted to wipe them off with his sleeve.
Don't look for me; don't look at me
"Goten, I'm glad your okay." Goten's father, Goku, said to his now awake son.
Before the future becomes completely undone,
"D-Daddy, where's Gohan?" the innocent boy asked with tears staining his face.
Caught in a pit of solitude somebody set for me,
"I-In a better place, Goten!" Goku finally broke down at the last part and hugged his only alive son with sadness.
Think back on who I am
Gohan dreamt of his final battle with Cell and Goten fighting Majin Buu and finally winning but sacrificing himself to save Gohan from a deadly last attempt to kill Gohan.
My full, vivid self
"I'm proud of you, Gohan." Goku's voice.
Don't forget me, don't forget me,
"I love you, big brother.." Goten's voice.
Don't forget me, don't forget me
"Never again will I fail you two. If there isn't enough room for all of us, then I will make room for us." Gohan swore darkly/grimly.
The change over me has me paralyzed
Krillin's hand made it's was up to Goku's shoulder as he said, "Don't worry Goku, I'm sure he's in heaven now and besides, we can just wish him back using the dragon balls." Goku just nodded his head in the negative.
In an immutable object paradise
"No, suicide is technically considered a natural cause of death. The dragon balls won't work!" Krillin's eyes watered at that.
Remember who I am
"No… Gohan…" that was what Krillin whispered with tears streaking his now pale face.
Tell me, tell me,
The picture in everyone's mind of Gohan faded immediately.
Is there someone inside of me?
