Author's Note: I am so sorry I am late you guys. But my net book got busted up, so I had to use my bro's laptop to rewrite my fan fiction. And I was busy doing other things and I had to download OpenOffice into my brother's laptop. And yeah. But don't worry I'm never abandoning this story.
SPOILER ALERT: There's scenes where things happened in the anime. From almost every saga. So if you haven't seen them, skip those parts.
Most of you guys know who 'he' is, but I know my friend that's reading my fan fiction doesn't so I'm going to reveal it. Don't own DBZ.
"This means talking"
~ This means thinking ~
So anyway here's ch.9.
Chapter 9: Revelations
"So, anyone have any ideas on what's going on" Asked Yamcha.
The whole Z gang was back inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, where Gohan was on the bed, still unconscious. This time everyone decided to stay there to make sure that when Gohan woke up he wouldn't sneak out again like last time.
"Well, it seems that all we know is that there's some kind of evil force out there. And whatever it is, it seems to be after Gohan." Trunks said.
"Do you really think so?" Asked Krillin.
"Anything's possible at this point."
"Yeah. And let's not forget about how Gohan battled with us like we were enemies. There was something strange with him. He was acting so...just so different."
"Could it be that there's two Gohan's?" Asked Yamcha.
Everyone stared at Yamcha as if saying 'Your joking right'?
"What?! Like Trunks said anything's possible! Gohan wouldn't try to hurt us like that on purpose. We've known him his whole life. I mean, what else could it be, then?"
"It doesn't seem likely that there's two. Remember what he told us? That he didn't want to hurt us, that he was dangerous. It seems as if something is trying to get a hold of him." Said the namekian Piccolo.
"That's right. Not to mention that he told us that we couldn't do anything to help him. That he'd have to do it alone." Said Trunks.
"The way you guys say it, it seems as if something's trying to take over Gohan." Said Tien.
Everyone stared back at him, considering the idea. The way the kid acted, it seemed like a high possibility.
"You morons still don't get it, do you." It was the proud saiyan prince who had spoken.
"What do you mean Vegeta? Asked Krillin.
He growled in annoyance. They really couldn't figure it out? "Can't you idiots see what's in front of you? Think. The boy is half saiyan, half earthling."
All of the warrior stayed silent. Trying to figure out what Vegeta meant.
Krillin spoke, "I don't think any of us understand what your trying to say."
The prince grunted. "Really, it's hard to believe any of you have brains. You don't even know how to use it. Just think. Two sides of a coin. One light. One darkness."
The others eyes widened in realization.
~ Finally. It seems as though they've gotten it. ~ Thought Vegeta.
"W-wait a sec. You don't mean...?" Said Tien.
"Yes! I knew I was right! There really are two Gohan's!" Yelled Yamcha triumphantly.
Everyone fell down. (Anime style. If you know what I mean) ; )
"Well, what? He said one dark and one light."
Vegeta got up, angry. "No you idiot! What I had meant was - "
He hadn't finished his sentence because a small groan was heard. Everybody turned their heads to the direction of the bed. Gohan's eyes slowly opened.
"Hey, Gohan! Your awake!" Said Krillin.
Gohan slowly sat up. "I'm back in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?" Asked Gohan, rubbing his head.
"Yeah. Me and the others brought you back here after we found you unconscious in the desert. What happened back there, anyway?" Asked Yamcha.
Gohan's eyes widened as he remembered. He had been with his friends, who had been wondering what was going on with him, since he had attacked them. Then he had tried to get out and an old enemy had resurfaced.
~ I can't believe this is happening. It's just one nightmare after another. And it's all my fault. ~
The saiyan clenched his fists. ~ I should have been the one to die at the Cell Games. Not my dad. If father had survived and I'd died, then none of this would be happening. I wish it could have been me to sacrifice myself. ~
"Hey, ugh, Gohan are you alright?" Asked Yamcha.
"Huh? Yeah I'm fine." Said Gohan.
Everything stayed silent. The young half saiyan had been dreading this moment. He had lost control and the others had seen. They wanted to know what was up. And the enemy he had faced was not stronger than him, but clever. He was using everything precious to him, against him. And he had made Gohan an ultimatum: Do as he wants or kill him and all his friends and the earth.
Piccolo broke the silence. "Gohan, we know that your upset at the moment and that you don't want to talk to anyone, but you have to let us know what's going on." Said Piccolo.
Gohan kept his eyes down, not wanting to make eye contact with anyone. He also made sure that whatever he thought wasn't read by Piccolo. The saiyan still didn't say nothing.
"Gohan, please. Stop being so stubborn and listen to us. What's wrong?" Said Trunks.
The mighty prince was starting to lose patience. "Enough of this useless waiting! If that brat won't tell you what's going on then I will!"
Gohan looked up, shocked. Vegeta knew?!
"Alright, fine." Everyone stared back at the young warrior. "I'll tell you." ~ Not like I have a choice anyway. ~ Thought Gohan, sighing.
Gohan hesitated before continuing. "I-I know I've been acting weird lately. And your all wondering why I fought you guys, right?"
All of them nodded their heads.
"Well, to tell you the truth...Th-that wasn't really me."
Everyone looked at each other. Besides Vegeta who already knew. "What do you mean Gohan?" Asked Tien. "I'm telling you guys, there's two Gohan's." Said Yamcha.
The saiyan smiled at his friends statement. "No. There's not two of me...but, it...it was my other side...my saiyan side."
"Hmph. Just as I thought." Said Vegeta.
Gohan looked at Vegeta. "That's right. But, how did you know?"
"Well, it seems since your half saiyan and half earthling, the other side would want to get out. It's that simple. Besides, there's now way Kakarot's son could be evil. You guys are to pure for that to happen."
"Yeah, but, if he gets full control, then it will be like I turn bad. And that's what worries me."
The others looked on with blank faces.
"Do you guys mind telling us what the heck your talking about." Said Krillin.
"You guys still don't get it, do you?" Asked Gohan. All of them shook their heads.
"It's like Vegeta's been saying. I'm half saiyan, half human, right. And you guys know how saiyans are. Ruthless, cocky, cold blooded killers who love to fight."
"Sounds kinda how Vegeta was before. And not to mention Goku, who did love a good challenge." Said Tien.
Gohan nodded his head. "Exactly. And so now, my saiyan side is starting to unleash itself. It's like my saiyan DNA is getting stronger inside of me and I guess you can say that Yamcha is kinda right. It is like there's two of me. The good me that's talking to you right now and my saiyan side that only wants to fight and kill. But really it's just me."
All of the Z warriors were listening, shocked. Except Vegeta, who already knew and could really care any less.
"So, now you guys know. That's why I've been telling to get away from me. I didn't want to hurt anyone. Each time I'd let him out before he'd get stronger and stronger. And now he's trying to take over my body." All the while Gohan had been talking he had kept is eyes down.
"Gohan, you said that each time you'd let him out and he'd stronger. Does that mean he's gotten out before?" Asked Piccolo.
Gohan looked at Piccolo, complete guilt in his eyes, for he had been the one to bring this on all of them.
All eyes turned back to Gohan. "Well, it wasn't really me. But you guys know how whenever I'd get mad my hidden powers would be unleashed. And that power came from my saiyan side. He would only get out for a minute, but, that would be enough to stop the enemies we were facing."
"Now it makes sense." Said Trunks.
"Gohan, you said that he'd get out. Did you let him out on your account?" Asked Krillin.
"To tell you the truth...yes." Everyone looked shocked.
"Gohan, why would you do that? You know how saiyans are. You even told us yourself." Said Trunks.
"I know, but it was the only way."
"What do you mean?"
"Okay, look you guys. I'll tell you every single time I'd let him out. The first time was when I was a baby. My mother and father had been with me walking outside and I had been in a little toy car. My dad had been watching these birds with mom and carelessly let go of the handle."
"Heh. Typical Goku. Letting go like that." Said Yamcha.
"Yeah. So anyway I went rolling down the mountain and a rock made me go flying out of the car and I was about to hit a tree but, at that exact moment I released my saiyan side and saved myself. The second time was when Raditz was fighting my father. I was trapped in his space ship but, I could still hear my father's yells. I snapped and got free. Next thing I knew my power was sky rocketing and I slammed into Raditz, weakening him. Piccolo could probably tell you the next time I unleashed my power."
Piccolo nodded his head. "I had just told Gohan about his head power and to prove my point I got him and threw him at a huge rock. In an instant Gohan let out a huge energy wave destroying the whole thing and that blast left a big trail behind it."
Gohan continued, "While I was still training in the woods sometimes my powers would get unleashed and I'd save myself from whatever danger there was. And then there was Frieza. Krillin had been hurt really badly. But, Frieza stopped me from saving him. I couldn't control what happened next. I just exploded and attacked."
All the while everyone had been listening. "Each time I'd get mad the barrier that kept my saiyan side at bay would break. Even if it was just for a second, it'd be enough to stop our enemies in their tracks. My memories from those moments weren't all clear. I didn't care who I was fighting or how strong they were, all I wanted was to make them pay."
"So, is that what happened at the Cell Games Gohan?" Asked Krillin.
The saiyan nodded his head. "Yeah. After watching Cell kill 16, I couldn't bare it. I needed the help from my saiyan side. I searched deep within myself and I saw him. He told me that if we became one, we'd be the strongest warrior who ever lived. I agreed to join with him. I just didn't want anybody else to die because of me. And I guess you could say that's how I transformed. That was the first time he was in full control. But, I was conscious of what we were doing. And now my saiyan side wants complete control of me. I guess, you could say he wants me to be more like a saiyan rather than a human. And he's willing to do anything to make that happen."
After Gohan had finished talking everybody was quite shocked. They had quite a situation on their hands.
~ I wonder if I should tell them about...No, I don't think they should know...This is between me and him........Maybe he's right. Maybe I am more like a saiyan then I realize. There were those times when I wanted to fight and train rather than study...No! I can't let him get to me. I only wanted that to help father protect earth. But, still I can't help and shake this feeling that he's right. ~
"There's still something I don't understand." It was Tien who had spoken. All eyes turned to him. "Why is it that only Gohan's dealing with this? It's not like he's the only one who's half saiyan." Tien had been referring to Trunks.
"Tien's right. Trunks' is half saiyan too. So why is it that his saiyan side hasn't tried to break free too?" Asked Krillin.
All of them were stumped with that. It was an interesting point.
"I think I can answer that." It was Gohan. "It might be because I was the very first born half saiyan hybrid. And so I have the potential to be the strongest fighter in the universe. And it makes sense that my saiyan side would be powerful enough to try to get out."
"Oh, well that makes sense." Said Yamcha.
"So, now that we know what were dealing with, what are we going to do once Gohan's saiyan side, starts acting up a bit?" Asked Tien.
"I think I could answer that one too." Said Gohan. "Well, every time that I'd train, I'd get more control of my abilities. So maybe that could work."
"That's a great idea! None of us can really stand a chance against you but, Vegeta can!" Exclaimed Krillin.
"What! Why would I bother in helping that brat?" Yelled Vegeta.
"Oh c'mon Vegeta. It'll really help your training."
"Grrr. Fine. I'll do it!"
"It looks like we've got everything under control." Said Krillin happily.
Piccolo put a hand on Gohan's shoulder since he could feel his uneasiness. "Everything will be fine kid. You'll see. We'll beat this thing."
Gohan smiled. "Right."
Everyone started to exit the chamber. "Let's get something to eat you guys. I'm starving!" Said Yamcha.
Gohan got up and slowly walked behind. He knew that what he told them wasn't completely true. His saiyan side wasn't acting up all on it's own. 'He' was causing it. And in a few months he would return to see what Gohan decided. Either way, everything seemed hopeless. He only hoped that everything would turn out alright.
"Dad, I wish you could be here. At least I'd feel safe with you around." Said Gohan, closing the door behind him.
Author's Note: Well, that was chapter 9. Again sorry I'm late. And I might be late again since I have to turn in this big science essay that I need to start, that's worth like a 1,000 points. So, I can't afford to lose my A. Trust me, my mom's kinda like Chichi with my studies. (I shudder). Well, hopefully I can update soon! And remember to keep reading and reviewing! Until next time!
