Chapter 15: In the End!
"Look at them," pointed Piccolo "I guess saving the world can take it's toll on you."
"Hey Goten and Gohan," called Krillin "Were you two holding back? Were you trying to scare us? Because it sure did." Goten and Gohan laughed weakly at Krillin.
"I can't believe we survived that!" cheered Yamcha.
"I know." Tien agreed.
"Don't worry you two, we'll get Dende to fix those bruises." Krillin reasoned.
"I got ya little guy." Tien siad while picking up Goten.
"Don't worry big guy." Yamcha picked up Gohan.
"I'll get Gohan." Piccolo replied while picking up Mirai Gohan.
"And I'll get Eighteen." Krillin stopped in his tracks when he realized he said this.
"You know she's an android right?" Mirai Trunks reminded. Krillin blushed.
"Well, she is a victim of Cell right? We might as well, bring her along." Krillin laughed nervously. Gohan and Goten laughed weakly until they passed out. "Gohan! Goten!"
"Don't worry Krillin, they're exhausted, that's all." replied Yamcha. Krillin understood and went to get Eighteen. "Let's hit the sky Trunks!"
"You guys go ahead, I'll catch up." Mirai Trunks replied. Krillin and the others, besides Vegeta, took off to the skies. "That was brave dad."
"Save your applause boy. Now go!" ordered Vegeta. Mirai Trunks nodded and went to follow the others.
MINDSCAPE
"Where am I?" asked a confused Goten. He looked around and all he saw was black. Nothing but pitch black. Goten started to look around some more until he bumped into someone.
"Goten?" asked Gohan.
"Oh, hey little dad." greeted Goten. "Do you know we got here?"
"We've must have passed out and ended up here." Gohan explained. "Oh, and I'm sorry for the whole 'attacking you thing.'"
"It's okay. Why did you attack me? Not to be mean or anything." asked Goten.
"Well, I attacked you because I was too stressed out. You know, dad dying and me finding out you're my little bro." Gohan replied earning a hug from Goten.
"It's okay. Nothing to worry about." Goten chuckled. Gohan sighed. All of a sudden, they heard footsteps.
"Who's there?" demanded Gohan. As the footsteps got closer, Gohan and Goten got into a stance. The footsteps stopped and revealed...a tall purple rabbit? Goten and Gohan looked confused.
"Who're you?" asked Goten. The rabbit chuckled.
"Ah so, the super saiyan god DOES have kids." the rabbit chuckled. Before Goten or Gohan could ask anymore questions, the figure disappeared.
"Where did he go?" asked Gohan. Before Goten could reply, a bright light shined and everything went white.
Lookout
Gohan and Goten opened their eyes and relieved that they're at the lookout. Thanks to Dende, Gohan and Goten were healed. Dende greeted them both.
"Sorry about your dads." Dende bowed his head in respect for Goku and Mirai Gohan.
"Don't be sad." Gohan and Goten replied. Everyone else looked at them.
"We both talked to my dad." Goten added. "We felt his energy all around us and I swear I could've touched him."
"He was right there by our side." Gohan also added. "Giving us advice and rooting us on. That's how we were able to defeat Cell."
"Well you two," Piccolo replied "Whatever you did made us all proud." Piccolo put a hand on Gohan's head. "You've gotten strong kid." Dende then healed Eighteen. When she got up, Yamcha ran to the other side of the lookout.
"Dende! Get away from her quick! She'll punch a hole right through you!" warned Yamcha.
"Nobody's gotta kill anybody." Krillin reasoned. Eighteen quickly stood up. "Hey, we could put the past behind us can't we? Now that Gohan and Goten beat Cell, we can all be friends."
"Gohan and Goten did?" asked Eighteen.
"You bet they did!" shouted Yamcha still on the other side of the lookout. "Both of them are incredibly strong! So, you can forget about punching holes in anyone!"
"Yamcha stop being coward and get back here!" ordered Goten.
"No way!" Yamcha rejected. Piccolo ignored them.
"You should thank him Eighteen, he stayed at your side the whole time." Piccolo reasoned. Krillin blushed.
"Krillin and Eighteen sittin in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" sang Goten. Krillin hit him on the back of his head.
"Thank mister smooth!" Krillin mumbled.
"What?! How could you?!" Yamcha shouted.
"You know she's an android right?" Trunks reminded again. Krillin laughed nervously as Goten rubbed the back of his head.
"Expect for me to fall at your feet now?" demanded Eighteen. "Big, strong boy rescues me and I'm his forever right? Not that easy." Eighteen then flew away.
"We've wasted enough time." pointed Piccolo. "Let's hurry up and summon the dragon so we can undo the damage that Cell has caused."
"Yeah! That means Gohan will come back! Dende and me will be here so you won't need a girl." Gohan cheered.
"Leave me alone." cried Krillin with tears in his eyes. Mr. Popo gathered the dragon balls.
"Shenron! Arise and hear our wish!" Dende shouted. The sky became dark and the dragon appeared.
"Choose your words carefully as you speak. I will make two of your wishes." boomed Shenron.
"Shenron! Please revive all those who were killed by Cell!" Yamcha ordered.
"Your wish will be granted." Shenron accepted. His eyes glowed. Everyone turned around and saw Mirai Gohan open his eyes.
"Great to be alive!" Mirai Gohan cheered. Goten smiled and jumped on his dad.
"Hey there dad!" greeted Goten.
"There's my earth savior!" Mirai Gohan ruffled Goten's hair. Goten laughed and went on top of his dad's shoulders.
"Great to see you again Gohan." Piccolo smirked. Mirai Gohan nodded.
"Thanks for helping us." Gohan smiled.
"Don't mention it." Mirai Gohan laughed. He looked down and noticed a hole in his shirt where Cell blasted him. He shook his head,
"Guys, bad news." Piccolo sighed. That caught everyone's attention. "This dragon can't bring back those who were dead before."
"Shenron! Can't you use our whole second wish to bring Goku back?" asked Yamcha.
"I'm afraid not you guys." Mirai Gohan sighed.
"Hey! Why won't we just go to namek and ask Porunga to bring him back?" asked Dende. Everyone agreed until a voice interrupted them.
"Hey, don't I get a saying in this?" asked Goku. Everyone, besides Goten and Mirai Gohan, looked around to see where the voice came from.
"Goku?" asked a confused Krillin.
"King Kai is letting me talk to you guys in the otherworld. So listen up, mainly I've been thinking about why the earth was in danger and it was because of me." Goku replied.
"Where are you going with this Goku?" asked Yamcha.
"I think it will be better for the earth if I stay in the otherworld." Goku replied. Mirai Gohan stepped a little closer to his younger self, just encase he goes insane.
"But what about mom and me and Goten?" asked Gohan.
"Gohan, you're now the strongest person..." Goku was interrupted when Goten coughed to remind him of something. "I mean, Gohan AND Goten are so strong now that I have nothing to teach them."
"But that still doesn't mean I need you!" shouted Gohan.
"But he doesn't teach me." Gotem mumbled under his breath.
"Goodbye..." Goku was about to leave until Gohan stopped him.
"DON'T HANG UP ON ME YOU BASTARD!" Yelled Gohan. Mirai Gohan signaled Goten to grab Gohan. Goten nodded and jumped on Gohan. "Hey! Let me go!"
"Gohan, It's the right thing to..." Goku's voice was, again, interrupted.
"The right thing to do?! What kind of father would abandon his family and friends?!" Gohan yelled.
"Calm down.."
"SHUT UP! I HAD IT WITH YOU!" Gohan had tears in his eyes. Goten was about to comfort him until Gohan smacked his hand away. "Don't touch me." Gohan spat and flew off. Piccolo was about to go after him until Mirai Gohan stopped him.
"I'll get him." Mirai Gohan flew off to find his younger counterpart with Goten close by.
Wasteland
Gohan stopped on a open field and started to punch the grass.
"THAT BASTARD!" Screamed Gohan going super saiyan 2. He was about to punch the grass again until Mirai Gohan grabbed his wrist.
"Calm down." reasoned Mirai Gohan. Gohan was about to yank his wrist until Goten, who was also in his super saiyan 2 form, grabbed his other wrist.
"Let go!" ordered Gohan. Mirai Gohan and Goten didn't budge.
"Listen..." Mirai Gohan reasoned in a calm voice. "I know it wasn't kinda right, but he's doing it for the earth."
"Earth! Earth! Earth! That and training is all he cares about! He doesn't care about his family or friends!" Gohan barked. Gohan tried to pry his wrist off of Goten's grip. Goten only squeezed his grip harder.
"He does care about his family and friends. That's why he thinks it's better for the earth. We do live on earth you know?" Mirai Gohan replied. One of Gohan's wrists was finally free until Goten grabbed it and pinned them, and Gohan, to the ground while sitting on top of him.
"Look at me Gohan," ordered Goten. "I'm perfectly fine and dad nor mom raised me. I was raised by you! The earth has been at peace for seven years!" Goten then pointed to Mirai Gohan. "Look. See? That's you and you look fine! You didn't need mom or dad for seven years. Your friends are still fine. So don't worry."
"B-But..." Gohan cried on his older counterpart's chest. Goten comforted him by rubbing his back.
"Come on, let's get back to the lookout." Mirai Gohan, who was carrying Gohan, and Goten flew back to the lookout.
Lookout
Mirai Gohan, Gohan, and Goten landed safely on the tiles on the lookout. Piccolo and the others looked at them.
"What happened?" asked Piccolo.
"At first, Gohan was mad at dad for not coming back and I explained to him that it was the right decision." explained Mirai Gohan. He was about to let Gohan down until Gohan refused to. "Come on. Let me put you down." Mirai Gohan tried again but Gohan still refused. Mirai Gohan sighed.
"You guys have another problem." Krillin sounded worried. "How are you gonna tell Chi Chi that her husband died?" At this point, Mirai Gohan, Gohan, and Goten paled.
"Oh shit." Mirai Gohan muttered.
"Anyway, Krillin used the second wish to get rid of the bomb in Eighteen's chest." Yamcha changed the subject.
"I knew you liked Eighteen!" Goten and Gohan pointed. Krillin blushed.
"Well, I better get back home to prepare to go back to the future." Mirai Trunks said.
"I gotta tell my mom the bad news." Gohan said while jumping out of Mirai Gohan's arms. With that, everyone jumped off the lookout and waved goodbye to each other.
Son House
"And that's the whole story mom." Gohan finished telling his mother and grandfather that Goku was dead and why he didn't wanna come back. Chi Chi started to cry while Ox king tried to comfort her.
"Oh, Goku!" cried Chi Chi. Mirai Gohan and Goten were in the back so they wouldn't see their mother break down and cry.
"Is she gonna be okay Gohan?" asked a concerned Goten.
"Yeah, she's gonna be fine." Mirai Gohan replied. There was silence, except Chi Chi crying, for another 5 minutes.
"When do we have to go back?" asked Goten.
"Go back where?" asked a confused Mirai Gohan. Goten had a innocent look on his face.
"I mean, go back to the past." Goten replied. Mirai Gohan sighed and crouched down to Goten's level.
"When Mirai Trunks gets his time machine fixed. Why?" Mirai Gohan replied/asked. Goten started to poke his finger.
"Because..." Goten's voice trailed off.
"Because you're having fun here and you're gonna miss little dad?" asked Mirai Gohan. Goten was amazed.
"Woah, how did you know?" asked a amazed Goten.
"Lucky guess." Mirai Gohan smirked. Gohan soon walked up to them.
"Well, I told her everything." Gohan had a hint of sadness in his voice.
"It's alright. Listen, me and Goten still have a couple of weeks left. So..."
"Okay!" chirped Gohan.
"You didn't even know what I was gonna say." Mirai Gohan replied.
"I kew what you were gonna say! You were gonna say that I should spend the rest of those couple of weeks with you guys." Gohan explained. Mirai Gohan seemed amazed while Goten just smiled.
"Come on! Let's go fishing!" Goten grabbed Gohan's hand and dragged him outside. Mirai Gohan soon followed.
The River
Goten and Gohan came back up to the surface for air. They only caught 1 fish.
"Man, only one?" whined Goten.
"Usually, there will be at least ten in here." Gohan pointed.
"Maybe because you fished here so much, you probably caught them all." Mirai Gohan chuckled.
"True." Gohan admitted. All of a sudden, someone splashed water in his face. "Hey!"
"Got ya!" laughed Goten. Gohan also laughed and started to splash Goten. While the splash war was going on, Mirai Gohan meditated.
SPLASH!
"Hey!" complained Mirai Gohan. When he finished drying the water off his face, he found 2 snickering chibis. "You think that's funny huh?" Mirai Gohan took off his shirt and jumped in the river. It was 2 against 1 in a splash war. The three sons of Goku were having the time of their lifes.
"That's my boys." Goku smiled proudly as a halo was above his head. He sighed. "Goodbye, my sons."
Capsule Corp
Now it was the time for Mirai Gohan, Mirai Trunks, and Goten to return to their time. Everyone was there to say goodbye. Mirai Gohan was glad that Mirai Trunks said that he can give them a ride. He couldn't believe that the time machine could hold 3 people. Anyway, everyone said goodbye.
"Goodbye mom." Mirai Gohan and Goten said in unison. Chi Chi cried and hugged both of her sons.
"Goodbye boys." smiled Chi Chi while wiping her tears. Surprisingly, Piccolo showed up.
"Bye Piccolo." Mirai Gohan waved.
"Take care kid. And keep training Goten." Piccolo smirked. Mirai Gohan nodded. After all but one goodbye, Mirai Gohan and Mirai Trunks jumped in the time machine.
"You comin Goten?" asked Mirai Gohan.
"Yeah, in a sec." Goten replied. He walked up to Gohan, who was behind the crowd. Everyone looked to face them.
"So...uh...I guess this is goodbye." Goten sighed.
"Yeah..." There was a moment of silence until.
"Just do it guys! No one's gonna call you a lady or girl." Mirai Gohan said.
"I would!" Vegeta replied in the back.
"Ignore Vegeta." Mirai Gohan laughed. Goten agreed with his dad and jumped in Gohan's arms.
"Woah! I'm not that big!" laughed Gohan. Goten and Gohan hugged each other for a couple of minutes until they broke it up.
"You know how I'm gonna remember you?" Goten asked. Gohan shook his head. Goten replied by running his hands through his hair. Gohan smiled.
"You ready Goten?" asked Mirai Gohan. Goten nodded and gave Gohan one last hug and jumped in the time machine.
"Goodbye everyone!" waved Mirai Trunks and Mirai Gohan. Goten just looked at Gohan, who looked back. They both smiled. Mirai Gohan and Goten looked to their left and saw Goku, in angel form, waving goodbye. Mirai Gohan and Goten waved back.
"Who're you guys waving to?" asked Mirai Trunks looking where Goten was waving.
"Nobody." Mirai Gohan replied. "Just an angel."
1 Month later...
Gohan, who was back in his time, was going through a couple of old family boxes. He remembered half of the things in here, some of them were probably Goku's when he was little. Gohan dug around some more until he noticed a family picture. It was him, Chi Chi, and a baby Goten. He smiled at the picture until he noticed a figure next to Gohan. He took a closer look and his smile grew wider. His father, was right next to him this whole time. Gohan know understood that Goku has been watching him over these years. He put the picture in a frame and placed it next to another picture on the fireplace. There was the old picture, and a new picture. The new picture was with him, Teen Gohan, and Goten before they left. Teen Gohan was placing his arm around Goten's waist as Goten did the same. Older Gohan was just smiling at the two. He walked away and took one good look at the pictures.
"Dad! Come on! I'm tired!" begged Goten. Gohan knew it was past Goten's bedtime and placed Goten in his bed. Gohan was about to walk away until a voice caught his attention.
"I'm glad I have you little bro." the voice said. Gohan whipped around and saw a misty picture of his younger self holding a baby Goten. "You look just like dad. You should be happy you look like him. He's a great and brave man. He cared about our family and friends. I learned from two very important people in my life." Teen Gohan turned is head to face Gohan, and winked. The mist disappeared as Gohan smiled.
"Who knew one baby, could save a boys life. Thank you, Goten."
