Hello everyone, AnimeWolfGirl9 here! I hope everyone is excited because things are going to start to change into the main plot for this fanfiction soon. Oh yeah, I forgot to put this in the last author's note at the end of the last chapter, but every time Krillin just abandons Gohan and runs over to Android 18, I always think "Wow, Krillin, you are such a supportive uncle!". No offense to him though, it's just what I think. Either way, I hope you enjoy this next chapter!
Chapter 9: Things Change So Fast
Gohan stopped in mid-air for a moment when he saw his house in the distance. He thought for a moment.
Maybe if daddy did come back to life, he would have come back home. Gohan thought hopefully, but then he knew that wasn't true. Piccolo had said that he hadn't felt Goku's Ki when they wished for everyone to be revived.
And, he even told you himself that he wasn't coming back, a small part of his mind reminded him. He wasn't sure if it was the voice or not, he just knew one thing:
Great, I have to tell mom that I basically killed daddy. Why do I get to tell everyone all of the bad news?
Gohan knew he was mostly worried about his mother and how she would react. He was also worried that he would not get smacked with a certain frying pan. He sensed his grandpa's Ki with his mother, so he knew that he wouldn't be alone for the tirade that would follow suit. Gohan was never really scared of his dad, except when he got angry which was rare, but when his mother got on a tirade; let's just say it never ended well.
Gohan flew down to the ground when he was a few feet from his house. He walked up to the wooden door and waited outside for a few seconds, wondering how he was going to tell everyone that his father wasn't coming back. He took a deep breath and then stepped into the house. The first thing he noticed was that the house was nearly completely destroyed.
And why did I see the TV laying outside under a tree? Gohan thought with a bit of confusion. Then he figured out that his mother must have gone on a wild rampage. The second thing he noticed was three people sitting around their kitchen table that somehow got into the living room. He saw his mother, grandpa Ox-King, and fortuneteller Baba. His mother turned around when she heard the door open.
"Gohan, thank Dende that you're safe!" Chi-Chi said as she ran over and hugged her son. Gohan could see that her eyes were somewhat red from crying. The stone that was his guilt buried even deeper as he thought of how he had worried her. Then she noticed the state he was in.
"Gohan, what happened to your clothes?" she asked as she noticed how bad of a shape he was in, "you should go change into something nicer."
Gohan inwardly sighed in relief as he started to make his way down the hall to his bedroom. He looked behind him to see his mother looking around in confusion.
"Mom, is anything wrong?" Gohan asked with a bit of unease. He saw his mother look over at him, still looking confused.
"Yeah, Gohan, where is your father?" Chi-Chi asked him.
Oh no, Gohan thought, now I wish I hadn't asked!
"Um, well mom, he isn't coming back," Gohan said slowly and nervously. His mother stared at him for a second and then started to laugh.
"Gohan, come on now. Stop playing this game. Tell your father to come inside now and I will start to make dinner," his mother stated between her laughs. Gohan felt like crying.
She isn't taking me seriously! Gohan thought with despair. He knew that if he started to cry that it would be a childish thing to do, and he didn't want to worry his mother anymore. He took a deep breath before replying.
"Mom, he isn't coming back. Cell was going to blow up the Earth and Dad teleported him away and was caught in the explosion. He didn't come back when Cell did and he didn't want us to wish him back to life so he is…" Gohan started out stronger than he felt, but then stopped speaking when he noticed his mother was silent. She suddenly fell to the floor and he saw tears start to run down her face.
What have I done? Gohan questioned himself as he ran over to his mother; I could have been a bit more sympathetic!
"It's ok mom," Gohan said softly as he tried to comfort her, "don't worry. Everything is going to be fine. Daddy did what he thought was the best for us."
Gohan had wanted to say "what was best for the Earth", but he thought is sounded a bit too harsh and selfish; plus he didn't want to upset his mother anymore.
"He's always been like that, hasn't he?" Gohan heard his mother whisper after a while. He had been sitting on the floor beside her while his grandfather had been trying to calm his mother down.
"Gohan, why didn't you change your clothes yet?" he heard his mother say with a tint of harshness to her voice. He saw that she had now stood up, with the support of his grandfather.
"But, I was trying to… and you were… and…" Gohan sputtered out in confusion.
"Gohan, I told you to go get changed. Now go do just that while I make dinner," Chi-Chi said as she walked into the kitchen, dismissing everyone else in the room. His grandfather gave him a look of confusion and sympathy before going to help Chi-Chi. Gohan walked into his room bewildered. He sat down on his bed and put his head in his hands, thinking everything through; and the more he thought, the angrier and more upset he became.
Well, I'm sorry; all I was trying to do was help! Gohan thought as he changed out of his torn Gi and into a new outfit; the same one that he was wearing when he first met Lime. He took a deep breath to steady himself before he opened the door and walked out into the hallway. He could tell that his mother was already done making dinner because of the tempting aromas that were coming from the kitchen. Gohan looked at the clock and saw that it was near six in the evening. He remembered that he arrived home somewhere near four-thirty.
Was I really in my room that long? It felt like a short time, Gohan thought as he walked towards the kitchen. He saw that dinner was already stacked on the kitchen table; ham, potatoes, bread, tomato soup and many other foods lined the table in a somewhat neat array. As Gohan sat down, he saw that his grandfather and mother had been waiting for him.
"Gohan, what took you so long?" Chi-Chi asked him. Gohan wanted to answer truthfully, but he didn't want to worry his mother about all of the things going through his head.
"Oh, nothing much; I just had a lot of stuff to think about," Gohan knew he was somewhat lying by not telling the whole truth, but he didn't want to make things any more complicated. As dinner continued, Gohan started to wonder about what happened while he had been at the Cell Games.
"Grandpa, why is the TV outside on the lawn?" Gohan questioned one of the many thoughts going through his head.
"Oh it's nothing to worry about really; your mother just went on a little tirade." His grandfather the Ox-King said; he looked like he was going to say more, but he was interrupted by a now fuming Chi-Chi.
"It wasn't little! I was worried sick about you, Gohan!" Chi-Chi nearly screamed at the top of her lungs, almost making her son choke on whatever he was eating at the moment and making the Ox-King stop his fork from entering his mouth. Once Gohan had gotten over his momentary choking, his face only showed surprise and confusion. Chi-Chi took this as a sign that he couldn't believe that she had been worried about him, but in fact she was entirely wrong.
"Seriously Gohan, are you that surprised that your mother would worry about you!" Chi-Chi was still in a rage as she said this and both the Ox-King and Gohan looked scared as she started to reach for the frying pan behind her.
"No, it's nothing like that!" Gohan stated worriedly as he stood up and started to back towards his room, "It's just that… um, I'm going to try and catch up on schoolwork now!"
Gohan ran into his room and did one thing he never did unless in dire situations, and that was lock his door. He slumped down against the closed door and tried to block out the sounds of his mother and grandfather arguing from the other section of the house. He put his head in his hands and clutched at some of his black hair, trying to think calmly and not go on a rampage of his own.
What did I do to make her mad? All I was worried about was how mad she got all of a sudden. That's not something to get punished about! Gohan then suddenly started to get scared because he kept wondering if something was wrong or if his mother was sick. He took a deep breath before continuing to think.
Dad, why did you need to leave now? If mom is sick, I'm not sure how to take care of her the right way. Why did you leave? Mom needs you. I need you. And Gohan continued to think, but the way he was thinking wasn't normally what he would think; his thoughts would suddenly become savage and angry at his father for leaving, but then he would get sad at his failure.
What is wrong with me? Gohan thought miserably as he forcefully clutched at his ebony hair. He sighed as he stood up and walked over to his desk, not too eager to start and catch up with the mound of school work he had to do.
"A tournament?" Gohan asked to make sure he had heard Krillin right. They were flying back from a sparring session. Apparently the short amount of time that had passed was too long for the Z fighters to be separated.
"Yeah, X.S. Cash is hosting one in honor of his son's birthday," Krillin stated. Two days had passed since the Cell Games, and since Gohan nearly got smacked with the frying pan of doom. When he had asked his mother if she was feeling alright later that night, she had just told him that she was a bit tired.
"So, what do you think? Do you want to join?" Krillin asked, whipping Gohan out of his thoughts, "I know that Tien, Piccolo, Yamcha, and I are already signed up. I think Trunks is going to participate too."
Gohan knew that Trunks would probably join. Trunks had come back from the future that morning, telling them that he had defeated the androids and that his mother (future Bulma) told him to come back and tell everyone the good news.
"I don't know, maybe. I need to ask my mom first," Gohan finally said to answer Krillin's question.
"Well, ok. Not sure what Chi-Chi would say to that, but guess I will see you later," Krillin answered as they both saw the Son house in the distance.
"Ok, see you later Krillin!" Gohan said as he got ready to fly towards his house, but a hand on his shoulder made him stop.
"Hey, Gohan, if you need anything, just ask. Ok?" Krillin said in a soft tone. Gohan didn't know what to say at first. He knew Krillin was always caring for him; he just didn't want to be a bother that much.
"Ok, I will. Anyway, see you later." Gohan said as he quickly flew down to the ground, wanting to avoid any more uncomfortable conversations. He knew for sure that everyone was worried about him since he had just lost his father, but he didn't want to be a bother to anyone; especially to those who didn't deserve it.
"Mom, I'm home," Gohan called as he entered the front door. His mother was in the kitchen and, as usual, was cooking lunch.
"Gohan, how was training?" Chi-Chi asked sweetly as he entered the room. Gohan felt a pang of guilt. He knew that his mother was having it harder than him, and that it was all his fault.
"It was good," Gohan answered as he was contemplating on asking her about what Krillin had said, "Mom, Krillin told me about a tournament that is coming up soon. He wants me to join, but I wanted to make sure it was ok with you first."
Gohan knew he had to be more careful around his mother lately. She seemed to get more irritated easily, and he didn't want to make things any harder than he had already. Part of him actually wanted her to say 'no' to the tournament, and Gohan didn't know why, but it gave him an uneasy feeling.
"Sure, you can go," Chi-Chi said as she turned to check on the stove, "I believe it would be fine since all you have been doing since the Cell Games was study."
Gohan knew his mother was right; all he had done was catch up on school work, but as soon as she said the words 'Cell' and 'games' in the same sentence, he felt a strange feeling rise up.
"Um, Mom, if it's ok, I'm going to go rest before lunch. We did a lot of training and I am kind of tired," Gohan stated as he walked towards his room. He knew he was lying; they had only done minor training as a warm up today, and Gohan couldn't help but wonder if it was since they might have been worried about his arm that had been broken two days ago.
Well they don't have to worry; I'm fine. Gohan thought with a hint of agitation as he closed his door. He didn't lock it; that was forbidden in the Son house; although if things got bad enough, Gohan was sure that he would have the right to lock his door. It was his room after all.
Gohan walked over to his bed and sat down, resting his feet on the floor. He looked over at his desk and, pausing for a moment, walked over to it. There was nothing out of the ordinary; books still in place from last night's studying, light turned off, and everything still in place; something was just telling him to look. He bent down and opened the top drawer. Gohan smiled when he saw what was inside: his journal- both Super Saiyan observation and his normal one- the knife his father had given him, as well as the memory capsule and the orange Gi similar to his father's. But two things that caught his eyes were lying beneath those objects. They were two pictures in simple frames; one was of Gohan, when he was four, at Kami house, and the other was taken just a few days before the Cell Games had occurred. It showed the Z fighters, Krillin, Gohan, and Goku. It had been taken in the same place as the other picture, but instead of stirring happy memories, it just made Gohan angry and sad. He shoved both of the pictures back into the drawer and slammed it shut, going back to his bed but not lying down; instead he started to pace around his room.
Why can one picture bring back so many unwanted memories? Gohan fumed as he suddenly felt his power level rising. He sat down on his bed, alarmed, and put his head in his hands, clutching at some of his hair and taking shaky breaths.
What is wrong with me? Gohan repeated the question that had haunted him since the Cell Games. He knew he was different since then; he knew he had changed, and he didn't like it at all. He lay down on his side and curling into a ball, fell asleep.
Gohan kept dodging the punches, kicks, and lunges that other fighters in the arena were throwing at him. The day of the tournament had finally arrived and, so far, everyone was doing well. Well, except Yamcha, he was just sitting on top of a globe in the sky. Gohan didn't know what had gotten into him. Most of the fighters were no match at all, but when the one-on-one fights started, Gohan got partially excited. He was especially excited when he had to verse a fighter named Chongan.
Chongan was at least ten feet taller than Gohan, and Gohan was guessing that the fighter could have sat on him too. Chongan had literally blown through the preliminaries of the tournament, and that was going to make it all the more fun for Gohan. Before he knew it, Chongan was standing in front of him, the match almost about to begin. The blond haired man chuckled when he saw who his opponent was.
"Hey kid, I'm not that into beating up children so why don't you just walk away before you get hurt," Chongan stated confidently.
"Ok, I'm ready," Gohan bowed, ignoring his opponent's last comment. He kind of felt sorry for the fighter, poor guy didn't know what he was getting himself into. As soon as the official said "Begin!", Gohan already saw a flaw in Chongan's fighting stance. He quickly slid forward and kicked at his opponent's left ankle. Chongan, not prepared for the attack, was sent flying and then crashing into a nearby cliff; making Gohan the winner. The rest of the matches were won quickly (with the exception of Trunks and Tien) with the semi-finalists being Krillin, Future Trunks, Gohan, and a fighter named Jaw-long. The semi-final round rules were simple. Each fighter would be sent to a virtually made area that served as the arena and would fight one of the 'aliens'. Whoever beat their opponent and got to the finish first would win.
Seems simple enough, Gohan thought; the platforms bringing the fighters towards their planes that would take them to the arena. Gohan was interrupted from his thoughts by a loud voice in the stands.
"Go get them, Gohan!" he heard his mother yell from where she was sitting with Bulma and little Trunks.
"Mom, not so loud," Gohan stated softly as a blush of embarrassment crept across his face. He looked over to where Future Trunks was standing, hoping for some support from the older half Saiyan; but then he saw that Trunks was also embarrassed by his mother. Gohan inwardly laughed as they were strapped into their planes.
Hehe… moms, Gohan smiled at the thought, always know how to embarrass you.
The glass lid closed on each of the planes and then they were shot off to their destinations. Gohan looked around as the planes traveled, seeing that the area around them so far looked like a graph or like a time machine traveling. He was suddenly taken off guard when the planes split and then the scenery around him changed.
The plane landed and Gohan lightly stepped out of it, looking around in curiosity. The arena looked like it came out of child's coloring book or possibly a play room full of toys; baby dolls, giant blocks, balloons and other items surrounded him. Gohan was too busy looking around that he didn't realize a balloon that made its way over to him and popped in his face; the sudden noise scaring the half Saiyan. He gave a little shout as he realized that giant blocks were flying his way, looking like they had full intention of crushing him. Gohan quickly stood up and started to dodge all of the giant blocks just before they crushed him. He flipped backwards onto another giant block, looking around for his opponent. Before he had time to fully focus on his attacker, two sharp clock handles came flying towards him. Just as the clock handles were going to hit him, Gohan raised his power level, destroying the sharp objects in the process. He quickly saw his attacker floating a few feet in front of him. His opponent had blue skin, orange hair wrapped in a turban style, black pants, a dark blue shirt under a slightly lighter blue jacket and a strange triangle shaped pendent around its neck.
Must be one of the 'aliens' I'm supposed to fight, Gohan thought as he looked closer at his attacker, but that can't be right. He looks too real to be a machine and I am pretty sure that his attacks are too strong to be some actor that they must have hired.
"Watch it, you could have killed me!" Gohan almost yelled. He was mad, this was supposed to be a tournament, no killing, and it seemed as if his opponent had been trying to do just that.
"You have no idea," the alien stated as it chuckled evilly. The pendent around its neck glowed and then the setting changed to a heavily dense forest. Gohan got into a fighting position, now knowing that this was too dangerous to be real.
"Ok, you have my attention," Gohan said as he stared intently at his opponent. He thought that the alien would attack him, but instead it teleported. Gohan felt for its Ki and saw that the alien had moved further away, apparently into one of the other arenas.
If he thinks he is smart by trying to run away, he's mistaken. I can still sense his Ki, Gohan thought as he started to fly towards where the alien teleported to, I wonder how Trunks and Krillin are doing. If these guys aren't normal, then we are going to have our hands full.
Gohan kind of felt sorry for Jaw-long, the poor guy was going to be going up against something that could possibly kill the human being. He hoped that that wouldn't be the case. As soon as he entered a ruined city looking arena, Gohan felt Trunks and Krillin's low Kis near him. He quickly sped up until he came to a charred looking building, his friends' bodies below him on the ground.
"Trunks!" Gohan yelled as he touched the ground and ran over to his friends, bending down and trying to wake them, "come on Krillin, wake up!"
He suddenly turned around and stood up as he felt a strong power level approaching from inside the building. He knew that the power level must have been coming from one of the aliens; Gohan guessed that the alien was almost as strong as Cell's semi-perfect form, but what worried him the most was that the alien was definitely not in his strongest form. He saw three more aliens appear, one of them being the one that Gohan had seen earlier.
"It's been awhile," Gohan snapped his head to look at the doorway of the building as he heard a voice, "since I snapped someone's neck."
Gohan inwardly cringed when he saw the figure that belonged to the huge power level that he had felt earlier. The alien looked almost exactly like the other one he had seen earlier, except this one was taller and more muscular.
Well, nice morals, Gohan thought gravely. He was going to have to go up against four aliens alone. Suddenly he felt two power levels rapidly approaching them, and he instantly knew who they were before seeing them.
Yamcha, Tien, what in the world are they doing here? Gohan thought worriedly. Just as Gohan had predicted, the two said people landed on the ground on either side of him. He could tell through their Kis that they were angry about something.
"Murderers," he heard Yamcha say bitterly. Gohan blinked in surprise as he stared at the aliens.
Murderers? Gohan questioned in his mind, but then told himself to ask them later. He then looked back at the aliens and saw that they were all in some kind of strange pose, and all he heard from Tien was,
"Not while we're still here."
Why does this always happen to me? Gohan mentally smacked himself, you know what? This time, I hope that I missed their whole life story and I won't even bother asking.
He saw both Tien and Yamcha lunged forward towards the aliens. He stood still, not sure of how to help. The aliens moved with great speed that Gohan had trouble seeing in his base form, sending both Tien and Yamcha into the wall behind him. He looked back at both of them and saw that they were too injured to do else more.
Thanks guys, Gohan silently sent a word of thanks to his friends. At least he knew some of the aliens fighting styles, not a lot, but at least it was something to work with. He powered up to Super Saiyan form as three of the aliens gathered around him; he recalled their names being Bido, Bujin, and Zangya. Gohan punched at the nearest figure as it came rushing at him, and then jumped into the air to avoid a barricade of Ki blasts. He had just jumped onto a broken metal beam and was avoiding another barricade of punches and kicks from two of the aliens when a voice entered his head.
Would this be a bad time to interrupt?
Yes, it would. You're really being distracting right now. Gohan groaned as he knew that it was the voice again. Can you get out of my head?
If you mean physically appear in front of you, then no. If you mean stop talking to you, then yes. Oh yeah, you might want to watch out for the one above… the voice stated inside his head, but was then cut off by Gohan.
GET OUT OF MY HEAD! Gohan yelled at the voice right before he felt a weight from above slam into him. Gohan groaned as he hit the ground.
See? This is why you should not be talking to me, Gohan said. He was already in a bad temper and he did not want to have the voice distracting him now.
Ok, Ok, I'm sorry. All I was trying to do was help. The voice stated in an offended tone. Gohan didn't have time to answer back as suddenly all three aliens came rushing at him at the same time. He didn't really remember everything that happened next, all he knew was that he was getting thrown everywhere. Suddenly he felt a strong kind of rope around him. Gohan struggled as he tried to get free from the ropes holding him, but he felt his strength fading.
"You shouldn't try to struggle. The more you try to get free, the more Ki it drains until you pass out or die," he heard Bido say through the faze that was starting to cover his vision.
Wow, so this is how I'm going to die, Gohan thought as he continued to struggle.
Yeah right, like I'm going to let that happen, the voice stated as Gohan started to feel weaker. Suddenly he felt something tug on his dormant power, but the ropes that held him also held that power back too.
Ouch, Gohan thought as he felt sick from the sudden power increase and decrease.
Wow, that's a surprise. I thought that was going to work, it usually does. He heard the voice answer in confusion. Before the conversation could continue, Gohan heard a screaming that sounded a lot like…
Hercule, Gohan thought with sudden confusion and dread as he then saw the champion in a plane of his own, screaming his head off as it bounced in random directions.
Haha, really that's what they sent for backup? What can he do? He heard the voice start to laugh inside his head at the predicament that the champion of the world was in. The voice then stopped as Gohan watched Hercule's plane come speeding towards the aliens, making them lose their concentration. Gohan, now released from the ropes, could only stare in horror as the world champion crashed into the ground.
Ok really? That's it; the second shocker of the day, Gohan heard the voice say in amazement. He had nothing else to say to the voice. Gohan stared angrily at the leader of the aliens: Bojack. They simply stared at each other before Bojack lunged for him. Gohan jumped backwards and stood on top of a building. He was already feeling winded from the earlier fights and he wasn't sure if he could continue. Gohan suddenly got smacked backwards by a huge amount of energy. The next thing he knew was that he blacked out.
Hey, wake up! They need your help! Gohan groaned as the voice woke him from the blackness that he had been in.
They? He asked in confusion.
Yes, they. Trunks and Vegeta are trying to ward the aliens off while you were taking a cat nap! The voice yelled into his head, making him more alert. He stood up and felt Trunks and Vegeta's Kis in the distance; he also noticed that they were fading fast. He shook his head angrily as he started to fly towards where they were. He hated to admit it, but the voice had been right. He was sleeping while his friends were off fighting to protect him and everyone else. He quickly powered up to Super Saiyan again and then saw that both Vegeta and Trunks were to their limit. Bojack seemed to notice that Gohan was finally awake because he turned around to look at the half Saiyan. Then, as if on cue, three of the aliens surrounded Gohan and started to drain his Ki with the ropes. This time, Gohan knew no one would be there to help him. He could feel himself growing weaker even when he didn't struggle; even with the violent tugs on his dormant power trying to help, it was still wearing him out more. He felt his conscious slipping, but suddenly the ropes around him faded, only to be replaced by Bojack's arms.
"I was going to try and send a message to your father, but I guess you can tell him anyway on your trip to the Otherworld!" Bojack shouted as he started to tighten his grip on Gohan. Gohan, in turn, screamed as he felt his bones being crushed for the second time in two days. Just when his consciousness was going to fail him, he felt the grip loosen. He didn't have any strength left to hold himself in the air so he began to plummet towards the ground. Soon he felt himself stop falling and he opened his eyes only to see his father holding him.
That's it. I'm dead; Gohan thought when he saw his father in front of him, but what his father said next was what surprised him.
"Gohan listen to me. You can beat them; you have the power to. I know you can do it. You're my son after all," Goku said to encourage his son. As soon as he appeared, he was gone, and Gohan was lying on the ground trying to get his thoughts in order.
"Was that Goku?" Bojack asked as he rubbed the sore spot on his face where the dead warrior had hit him.
Yes, it was, Gohan thought as he stood up. He looked up towards the sky as he felt his Ki rising.
"I understand now, Father. You came back to save me, and I won't let you down!" Gohan yelled as he released his hidden power, once again becoming a Super Saiyan 2. Once the smoke cleared, Gohan turned around to face Bojack.
"I know your kind. You think you can just waltz in here and take our planet. But you forgot one thing: I'm my father's son!" Gohan yelled the last part and let his Ki flow out through him, shaking the ground and making lightning crackle around the island. Bujin, Bido, and Zangya all started to come attack him, but they were quickly disposed of. Bojack tried to attack him with a Ki blast, but Gohan dodged it and punched a hole right through the alien's stomach.
"Are there any last words you want to say before you die?" Bojack said, but then started spitting up blood. Gohan wasn't fazed; it seemed as if he had had to see a lot of torture in the past two days.
"Actually, there is one that comes to mind," Gohan stated as he drew his hands back and a blue light started to form in them. He saw that Bojack had quickly formed an attack to counter his. The two attacks were released at the same time, but Gohan's overcame Bojack's in the end, destroying the alien. The smoke cleared as Gohan heard a familiar voice in his head again.
Great job! Um, you do know that you are going to faint from exhaustion now. The voice said in an almost concerned voice.
No really I'm fine… Gohan started to answer but never got to finish. He instantly fell and hit the ground as darkness covered his vision.
The next thing Gohan knew was that he was in the hospital with Krillin and Trunks. They all started to laugh away as they talked about Hercule, who had now claimed to have defeated Bojack. Gohan didn't really mind, he was too exhausted to care. He fell asleep to the chatter of his friends, and a now safe planet.
So how was that? I hope you liked it! I know that it was not exactly like the movie, but I wanted to mix it up a bit. This chapter also beat the last one in number of pages: 28! Also, I haven't been feeling well lately and I wanted to get this chapter out before vacation next week. You won't have to wait long though for chapter 10 because I am going to keep working on this fanfiction for a long time. Also, I am not sure what to say about the DBZ Wipeout fanfiction. I don't know that much about Wipeout, but I might try anyway. And, if you have looked on my profile page, you will have seen the list of fanfictions I need to start writing. I am going to be posting the first chapter of Haunting Past soon, which I do need to tell you that it is related to this fanfiction a bit. Anyway, please R&R!
