Chapter 6

Gohan awoke to a high pitched scream he shot up in his bed and listened intently to try and hear if the scream was real or just a dream. "GOHAN." It definitely wasn't a dream it was his mum. He jumped from under the covers and ran down the hall in just his sweatpants. When he got to his mothers room he barged in and looked around for his mother.

He found her in the bathroom "Mum what are you doing, what's the matter?" He queried

"Gohan my waters… broke the baby… is coming." She answered in between deep breaths.

"Oh is that all I thought some monster was in the house or something."

"IS THAT ALL." Chi-Chi fumed "I am about to give birth and all you can say is that all. You're just like your father. Now go get my overnight bag we packed." Gohan nodded and shouted an apology to his mum and took over out of the bathroom and into his mothers room to find the overnight bag which should have been in the cupboard, it wasn't. "Mum where's the bag?" He enquired

"In the cupboard. If not there it should be under my bed." She shouted from the other room. "Okay mum. I got it. Now what?" he asked.

"I don't know why don't we have a nice breakfast and ill give birth in the kitchen." She said loaded with sarcasm which fell on death ears.

"But mum first you're in no condition to cook and giving birth in the kitchen would be unhygienic?" Chi-Chi sweat dropped as she looked at her genius son.

"Gohan just take me to CC." Gohan nodded and walked over and helped his mother out of the bathroom and into the bedroom. "SON GOHAN WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY ROOM?" Chi-Chi yelled "Well you see mum I was looking for your bag and you said under the bed and I was nervous so I may have thrown the bed a little bit." He got even more nervous and started scratching the back of his neck and grinned wildly. "Its okay Gohan, but their isn't enough time to fly to CC use instant transmission." Gohan nodded walked over and raised two fingers to his head located Vegeta's ki and they disappeared and reappeared in the front lawn of Capsule Corp.

"BULMA. BULMA WHERE ARE YOU?" Gohan yelled as he ran into the Capsule Corp private living quarters.

"Gohan what do you want its 2am?" Bulma quizzed "Oh hi Chi-Chi what are you doing here you should rest the baby is due any day now." Gohan was about to explain but was interrupted by another one of his mothers ear piercing scream "Oh I see your in labour." Bulma said calmly "Wait your in labour." She added with more panic.

"Yes Bulma how nice for you to notice. Now if you don't mind can we get this ball rolling?"

Gohan watched the exchange between his mother and his godmother and sniggered when Bulma finally figured it out.

--Clang—

"Ow what hit me?" It can't be the frying pan I destroyed that as a present to Goten. He looked up and their was his mother with the infamous frying pan of doom. "Where did you get that, I destroyed that thing." Gohan said looking while he rubbed his head and slowly stood up.

"You may have destroyed the old pan but this baby is top of the range made out of the densest materials found on the earth made by capsule corp." Chi-Chi replied with delight etched on to her face.

It took about ten minutes for Chi-Chi to be set up in a top of the range birthing suite complete with everything a pregnant woman could need. Bulma had called in a whole team of doctors to oversee the birth of baby Goten.

After another half an hour Chi-Chi could be heard screaming back from the mountains. Gohan stood outside his mother's room and couldn't wait till he could see his new baby brother. Gohan raised his ki to a high level and fluctuated it rapidly signalling to all the Z-Fighters that today was the day that their would be a new member of the son family before the day was out.

After another half hour had passed all the Z-Fighters including piccolo were their to see the baby, which still wasn't out yet, suddenly their was an ear piercing scream from Chi-Chi and was soon replaced with the sound of crying and laughter.

Bulma soon came to the door and asked that Gohan would come into the room. He did as instructed and was created by the sight of his mother lying on a bed, in a hospital gown with a little bundle in her arms, his brother Goten.

3 Months Later

It was the 11th May a very special occasion it was a certain young demi-saiyans twelve birthday. Gohan awoke slowly and looked around for the disturbance to his sleep he found it when his eyes rested on his brother's cot a few feet away. Goten would normally sleep in his mothers room but last night he had been particularly restless and only seemed to quite down when he was with Gohan, so being the kind and gentle soul that he was Gohan offered to allow Goten to sleep in his room his mother was reluctant at first but accepted after several failed attempts of trying to put him to sleep. Gohan got up from his bed and walked over to try and calm his brother down who started to cry relentlessly. As Gohan approached the cot he got a good look at his brother and he still choked when he saw how much he looked like his father Goku. He had the same wild black hair, the same eyes, nose, mouth everything. It's like dad's spirit lives on thru Goten the similarities are remarkable Gohan thought as he gently picked his brother up and started to rock him back and forth gently as he walked back towards his bed, he checked the time saw it was 5am and knew why Goten had woken up he was a hungry saiyan.

As Gohan made his way down the hall to the kitchen he heard the sound of cooking well in truth he smelt it first. As he round the corner the sounds got louder and the smell become more intoxicating as he neared the kitchen. Goten started to squirm the closer they got to food as they made it into the kitchen Gohan's eyes nearly fell from their sockets when he noticed the amount of food on the table it was like dying and waking up in heaven for the saiyan. He looked around and quickly found his mother at the stove cooking pancakes. "Mum what's with all the food?" Gohan asked. As Chi-Chi turned around she answered "Good morning how are my precious sons today?"

"Were fine mum. Goten is just a bit hungry and why all the food?" Gohan repeated desperate to get to the bottom of the food mystery. Really he wanted to find out if he could eat it.

"Good and may I say Happy Birthday Gohan and that should explain the food." Gohan's face lit up as he placed Goten in the high chair and went and sat at his own seat.

"So can I dig in?" Chi-Chi nodded and within a millisecond Gohan had literally dived amongst all the food and started eating everything insight. "Mum are we doing anything special for my birthday because I really want to go train." Gohan asked.

"Well your grandfather is coming round to give you your presents and then we are going to kame house for lunch and then we are going to head over to CC to see Bulma before we head out to dinner. So I guess you could possibly train with that god awful man." Gohan's eyes lit up as his mother said he could train and have a day off from studying. Gohan who had now finished his food looked over to his mother who was now feeding Goten "Thanks mum the food was great"

"Your welcome son now go into the living room your present is in their." Gohan shook his head in acknowledgment and walked into the living room where their were two presents wrapped up lying on the coffee table. The first one was small and rectangular in shape, the second was much smaller it was roughly the size of Gohan's hand. He picked them up and headed back into the dining room to unwrap them.

He sat down at the table again and started tearing the paper of the first present. When he finally unwrapped it he found a picture of himself, his mother and father. He and Goku were in their super saiyan form and his mother was sat down in front of them. Gohan looked across to his mother with a tear in his eye after being reminded of his dad. "Thanks mum its great." Gohan said while holding back the tear. "Your welcome sweetie now open the other one." Gohan did as told and ripped the packaging of which revealed a smell square box, he pulled the lid of the box to which it revealed a necklace, as he lifted it out he found it had a small Z on the end of silver chain. "It was your fathers, I found it the other day and I think he would have wanted you to have it." Gohan's composure went out the window as he started to sob, his mother moved across the table to comfort him. "Come on son don't cry. Your father wouldn't want to see you cry he would want you to be happy." Gohan slowly regained control and the sobbing stopped he looked into his mothers eyes. "Thanks mum I love them both. I was wandering if I could quickly go see Piccolo before we head kame house." Gohan enquired. "Sure thing. Tell him I said thank you for the uniforms."

"Ok will do mum bye."

Gohan raised his middle finger and index finger to his head and with a flash he was gone and reappeared in front of Piccolo who was meditating. "Hi Piccolo I need to talk to you"

"I know kid I felt it to, the power level is about a par with Frieza I shouldn't worry I know that it is on the way to earth but ill take care of this one I think I can manage on your special day. Happy Birthday kid. Your present is their." He nodded in the direction of a column where a large flat box leant against it. Gohan strolled over and went pick up the box but found he struggled immensely he decided just to open the box here. Inside was a gi it had dark purple pants and top the sash was a dark red as were the writs weights and the undershirt was a black the sleeves going down and stopping before the elbows. "Thanks Piccolo it's great." Gohan said as he struggled to pick the clothing up "How much weight did you put on these anyway there really heavy." Gohan continued. Piccolo answered with a shrug of the shoulders and "Just a couple of tons." Gohan's jaw dropped when Piccolo said just a couple of tons there to heavy to be a few must be about 10tons in that box Gohan thought. "Thanks again I better get going i've got a busy day ahead of me."

"Okay kid and don't worry about that energy signal ill take care of it."

"Thanks Piccolo. I know you will but just in case you know how to get in touch with me. Oh and my mum said thanks for the gis again." With that Gohan raised his fingers to his head and disappeared holding his present.

After Gohan had gone Dende appeared from inside the lookout. "Piccolo why didn't you tell Gohan about the energy you sensed. I mean you your self said that the power radiating of the thing is remarkable and you doubt you would be able to beat what ever it is." Dende looked at Piccolo expecting an answer but received nothing so he continued "Don't you think he deserves to know." Piccolo seemingly found his voice again "Yes Dende he does deserve to know but I can't bring my self to tell him. He just turned twelve today and he has been through so much already it isn't fair on the kid." Piccolo said his voice not wavering from his usual stern voice "I know you want to protect him but Gohan made the decision to be the protector of the earth, no one forced him."

"I know Dende and I will tell him as soon as he is needed but not before." Piccolo responded.

Gohan arrived back at his house and was greeted by the sight of his mother packing Goten's toys for the trip. "Hi mum i'm back. What time are we leaving for Kame House?" Gohan quizzed. Chi-Chi stopped packing and looked at her son "Hi son. We are going to leave at 10am and it's only six so I guess you can go study for a few hours." Chi-Chi answered looking smug He thought he was getting out of studying. Ha ill make a scholar out of him yet. Gohan disrupted her from her inner thoughts "Okay mum ill go put this away then." He flashed her the box in his hands and slowly made his way to his room he put the box safely downstairs he didn't want to risk taking it upstairs in case it fell threw the ceiling like last time, he cringed when he remembered the headache he had after that day. He got into his room and went to his desk underneath the window and started working on the work his mother had left for him.

The work took him two hours to complete he was doing some university level math he found it pretty easy there was just so many questions. When he had finished he headed downstairs to get a snack consisting of 3 full courses of pancakes. He went off to find his mother. After 5 minutes of looking he gave up and tried to locate her ki but found he couldn't he was scared, so he tried to find Goten's he may have been young but he had a very strong ki but their was no luck he couldn't find them anywhere it was like they had been took from the earth. Panicking he searched for Bulma's, no sign of it, he tried Vegeta's and again he had no look. He now was panicking badly he had no idea what had happened, his mother and brother has disappeared from underneath his nose. He started to calm down and think logically he decided he would try to find anyone of the Z-fighters but he had no luck everyone had disappeared. He ran out the front door and flew towards capsule corp it took only ten minutes the speed he was going. He landed quickly in the back garden and made his way over to the friends and family entrance and pressed the intercom button. He waited five minutes and no one showed so he entered the code Bulma had told him to use.

He must have looked in nearly every room in capsule corp before he finally had to give up. He walked back to the main living room and sat down. He decided he would turn the telly on when he noticed a note He picked it up from the TV stand and read aloud "My dearest Gohan come to coordinates if you ever want to see your family and friends again. Your Friend. 24° 30' N 13° 0' W." Gohan sneered as he thought of who could have the power to not only kidnap but to subdue all of the z-fighters at the same time. Without even thinking about what may lay ahead for himself Gohan quickly found a map and found the location was a small island which looked to mainly be a desert area he took note of the direction and distance from CC It would only take him 5 minutes . He ran out of the door into the back garden and took off in search of the one responsible for taking his family hostage.

After 5 minutes of flying south west Gohan found the small desert island and set down and instantly started scanning for any faint ki signals, there was none deciding it would take a lot less time to scan the area by air he leapt in the air and hovered so that he could survey the entire area. To the north he noticed smoke rising and took of towards that location. When he got there he noticed a camp fire which had several logs perched around it. On one of the logs was another note again he read aloud "My dearest Gohan well done for finding this location. You will now come to Satan city centre next to the monument, your family are waiting. Your Friend." Gohan scrunched the remains of the note and put two fingers to his forehead he faced the direction of satan city and disappeared in a flash he was on the outskirts of the city he seemed to have locked on to the ki of scout troop because he landed right in the middle of the flag raising ceremony. He took of immediately on foot towards the centre of the city.

He eventually found the monument the note said it was a huge statue of Hercule Satan standing in a victory pose. Again he scanned for the ki of his friends but nothing turned up. He had lost hope he was nether going to find his friends or his family again. He sat on a bench near the statue as he sighed and leaned back something caught his attention on top of a building there was a banner saying 'Surprise' he took a closer look at it and in smaller letters it said come into the restaurant below now. Not one to disobey an order he marched straight into the restaurant.

The word surprise ran circles round his head as he lay on the floor looking up at the ceiling. He worked into the restaurant and it was empty so he looked around again but was caught off guard when all his friends and family jumped out and yelled "SURPRISE" at the top of their lungs. The only ones that didn't seem to join in were Piccolo, Vegeta and 18 who walked casually out from their hiding spot. Gohan finally regained his senses and decided it was time to talk "YOU MEAN ALL THIS RUNNING AROUND THINKING THAT YOU HAD BEEN KIDNAPPED WAS ALL A PLOY TO GET ME TO A SURPRISE PARTY." Gohan was fuming he had honestly thought he had lost his friends and family and it was all staged, he wasn't just angry he was furious and happy the people he now came to call his extended family had gone threw a lot of trouble for him. "Man Gohan we didn't mean to make you worry and all but if you new we were all meeting up then you would of got suspicious wouldn't ya." Gohan nodded but he still had one question he wanted to ask

"How did you hide your ki." He really wanted to know it would be handy trick to know.

"Well that's my cue." Piccolo said "As you know I have trained my mind for many years and I have developed psychic abilities so I used these to project a barrier which couldn't be penetrated by ki so no ki signal could escape it either." Gohan nodded as if he understood however he was actually really confused.

"Ahh so I didn't miss the party i'm so glad." A cool mechanical voice said from behind them. Krillin was the first one to speak.

"It's it's FRIEZA." Everyone gasped as they turned their heads and sure enough standing their in the door way to the restaurant was the infamous Frieza.

I think this is a good place to leave it. Please review and don't slam me just yet for bringing frieza back. Do that after the next chapter when the explanation happens. By the way the dragonballs are not involved
