Chapter 28: Gohan's Rage
Gohan stood tall in his super sayian state opposite hi father whose golden aura flowed effortlessly around him. The hyperbolic time tempture quickly turned from sub-zero to blistering hot in a matter of seconds almost signalling how much the spar had increased in its intensity.
"Very good son" Goku said kindly rubbing the blood from his cheek caused by a cleaver right hook. "I can tell that maintaining your super sayian state has really improved your control over your power still it isn't enough against someone like Cell" Goku aura roared to life as he powered up further pushing his power further towards his limits.
"What are you waiting for you just going to let Cell charge up like this" Goku yelled over the roar of his aura.
Grasping what his father wanted Gohan charged forward his aura expanding rapidly around him.
"Still not enough control" Goku thought to himself as he dodge Gohan's right fist sending a knee directly into his son's rib cage before sending his fist into the boy's guy sending the Demi-Sayian spiralling way. Goku felt a tinge of guilt as he saw his son bouncing on the white floor but knew he had no choice in the matter. The power he had seen from his son only a few days ago filled the older sayian with renewed hope and motivation, Goku had quickly relished it was not he who would defeat Cell but his first born. Goku allowed a smile to himself as he again dodge another of Gohan's attack's back handing the boy back to the floor. It was paramount that he got Gohan to realise the power hidden within him again and somehow help the boy to control it then finally Goku could hand over the reins of earths protector over to someone else and there was no one else the Sayian trusted and believed in more than his son.
"Come on given up already Cell would have killed you by now" As if to amplify his point Goku raised his hand up towards the Demi-Sayian realising a blast powerful enough to disintrigate Coola in his firth form in one blow.
The blast connected causing smoke to pour around where the boy had been kneeling down. "Come on Gohan I know that blast was not enough to beat you" Goku thought to himself. Sure enough the smoke was suddenly pushed aside by the expansion of a golden aura protruding from Gohan.
"AHHHH –I won't give up" Gohan roared drawing forth some of the power within him that he didn't even knew he had.
Goku let a smile slip across his face he could feel by Gohan's aura that his son was almost ready to break though the barrier for a second time in his life. Just one more push Goku thought before dropping into a fighting stance.
"Is that all you got show me your power" Goku roared sending a blast of Ki directly at his son.
Blocking the blast Gohan threw the ball of energy into the air where it pouted out harmlessly several miles away. With rage filling his muscles with renewed primal energy Gohan rushed forward towards his father. Although Gohan's strength and speed where now far greater than that of his Fathers his rage clouded his judgement this as well as Goku's superior fighting experience aloud the older sayian to dodge the incoming blow of Gohan.
"It's not enough to just increase your power and speed you have to control it" Goku spoke as he ducked down from one of Gohan's punches sending a right kick into the young Demi-sayian's jaw. The attack didn't do much to Gohan's determination as he appeared back in front of his father. "Your rage is the key to your power Gohan but your letting it control you by doing this you are not focusing on your own attacks" Goku yelled again grabbing the wrist of his son before throwing him over his shoulder. "If you don't have control you waste your energy on attacks that mean nothing, power will only get you so far in a fight you must anticipate your opponent's moves and counter them that is what makes a good fighter great not only controlling their own power but the power of their opponent"
Gohan let out a primal roar of frustration as he relished more of his hidden power. Though the power redacting from his son was impressive Goku relished that his son was wasting so much of his power sending it out of his aura.
"You have the power now Gohan control it, control that rage of yours now embrace it become one with it and then master it" Goku's words of wisdom fell on deaf ears as the boy clouded by rage lunged forward to attack again. Gohan was drawing on his emotions picturing Goku as the tyrant Frizzer who was currently holding the lifeless body of his mother around her neck.
"I want let you hurt her" Gohan roared Causing a blinding white light to burst from his body as blue electrify danced around him his pupils turned from green to white as her charged forward yet again at his father.
Sensing the danger immediately Goku waited until the last possible moment, just before Gohan's fist made contact with the older sayian's chin Goku put two fingers to his head and disappeared from sight stunned Gohan rushed past his father's alter imagine his fist connecting against the ground creating a large crack in the luminous white floor.
Suddenly Goku appeared above his son his arms stretched back a blue orb already formed in his arms.
"Ka-Ma-ha-Ma" Goku yelled out before launching the blue orb forward firing the beam down at his son. "Ha"
The blue light illuminated the battle arena in its glow as the smoke cleared Goku saw the battered and bruise Gohan on the floor. Silently the gentle sayian pick up his son and slowly walked back to where they were staying, placing his sons body gentle on the bed Goku made sure to tenderly tuck his son.
"I know I'm being tough on you now son but if you can control your power I just know we can win" Goku stood up ready to return outside to begin his own training. "I'm proud of you son you have become a strong warrior I know I was never really around in the past but I promise once this is all over me and you are going to spend a lot of time together ok" noticing the small smile that had now formed though Gohan's lips. "I love you my son" Goku said warmly kissing Gohan on the head before heading off into the blinding white light.
Gohan stood before Cell a smirk was etched across the Demi-Sayian's face as he watched the pitiful creature reverted back to his semi-perfect form lift android eighteen by the neck towards his mouth trying desperately to re-integrate the android back into his system in order to re-attain his perfect form.
"Quickly Gohan finish him off now" Goku yelled out from where he watched the battle alongside the rest of the Z fighters but was quickly silenced by the determined stare he received from Gohan.
"Their no need to rush father I can crush Cell now with ease whenever I want" Gohan spoke coldly toward his father before turning back to Cell who quickly let go of android eighteen and backed away. "I'm going to make you suffer for everybody you hurt" Gohan roared in an instant he was in front of Cell landing a right fist directly into the bio-androids face sending the green monster flying several points.
Goku looked on with worried eyes he could feel the slight evil building up inside Gohan a side of effect that he himself felt when he had transformed on Namic for the first time. Fear gripped Goku's heart as he worried the power would go to Gohan's head and blacken his son's pure heart.
"You fool" Goku cried out "Finish this fight now"
Gohan looked coldly back at his father an evil smirk finding its way to the boy's face.
"I will finish this fight when I am ready father" Gohan called before turning back to Cell "he hasn't suffered enough yet"
Cell watch as the super sayian two took slow deliberate steps towards him mocking the green hominid with the slowness off his gesture. Suddenly Vegeta's pride and Frizers daring cunning came to the for front of Cell's mind, Fine I admit that you have beaten me in battle Son Gohan but the war is not over yet. Having made his decision Cell began the detonation process within himself.
Gohan watched the now ballooned Cell laugh at his failings his golden fist indented in the ground due to his frustration.
"You were a foul Gohan you not finishing me when you had the chance has led to the destruction of you and the planet everyone you care about will die in exactly five seconds" Cell mocked holing up with hand for effect.
"Nooooooo" Gohan roared indispare sending his fists yet again into the planets crust. " I failed you father" Gohan whispered solemnly tears beginning to pour from the Demi-Sayian's eyes at his own failure.
Just then the familiar warmth of his father's aura in front of him caused Gohan to look up. Standing tall his left hand placed on Cells stomach and his right hand fingers connected to his forehead Goku looked down on his son a smile etched across the kind Sayian's face.
"You fought well son I'm proud of you don't worry I'll take care of everything now and look after your mother for me"
"Dad" Gohan said weakly reaching out to grab his father's trouser leg only to see his dad along with Cell disappear in front of him "Father" Gohan yelled to heavens tears trickling down his face.
Suddenly Gohan's surroundings went black he was now in his training clothes back in his eighteen year old body. Suddenly Goku appeared in front of his son a warm smile was etched across the older Sayian's face.
"You can't change what happened son you have to let go" Goku spoke calmly his warm eyes meeting that of Gohan's tear stained ones.
"But father" Gohan sobbed "if I had just listen to you and destroyed Cell when you told me to you would still be here, Because of me Goten wasn't able to grow up with you around, because of me you had to die to save us all, it should have been me" With a roar Gohan's aura glowed golden as eletical blue energy cracked around him tear's flowing from the Demi-Sayian's eyes.
As quick as a flash Goku appeared before his son holding Gohan in a tight embrace. The teenager rest his head against his father shoulders allowing the tears to flow against Goku's skin.
"You made a mistake son we all do I've made so many that I've lost count" Goku said trying to soothe his son's eternal suffering "LIke last week I accidently left the gates to hell open And everyone escaped man I tell you King Yamma was mad" Goku heard Gohan let out a small chuckle.
Taking his head off his father's shoulders Gohan let out a small sob before smiling at his father.
"You always no just the right way to cheer me up" Gohan said his sobbing now subsided
"Hay that's my job" Goku said grinning from ear to ear his hand at the back of his head in the signature son pose. "I'm proud of you son" Goku said sincerely to his son "I'm proud of all of you Goten, Chi-Chi you all have achieved so much in your life I hear from King Kia you now have a girlfriend" Goku said with a wink.
"Yeah her name's Eresa she's really nice" Gohan stammered before asking.
"I know son" Goku said while placing his arm on Gohan's shoulder. "Don't forget I'm always watching over you and if you ever need me I'm in here"
Patting Gohan on the heart Goku began to melt away in Gohan's eyes as the Demi-Sayian began to awake from his dream.
Waking up in one of the many warm comfortable beds on the lookout Gohan let out a small sigh before whipping away the many tears upon his face it had seven days since his battle with (F) Trunks and Vegeta his mother and Bulma had decided that it was for the best if they kept the Three Sayian's separated for the time being until they calmed down. It was Piccolo's suggestion that the Son family joined him ,Dende and Mr Popo at the palace in the sky. Though initially Chi-Chi refused the Son matron came around quickly when Gohan reasoned that the Look out would be the safest place to be with Dende's acute sensing abilities they would know if Trunks or Vegeta was approaching them way before he himself could know.
The nightmares had started the first night Gohan had stayed, angry at himself for his failure to hold his temper with (F)Trunk and then Vegeta choosing to fight instead of trying to talk things out with the time traveller first reminded Gohan very deeply of the time against Cell something his sub-conscious continually showed him however his last dream was different this time his father had come out and spoken to him from the dead.
Stretching slowly Gohan got out of bed and quickly showered before getting changed out of his pyjamas. His training Gi now tightly tide around him the Demi-Sayian headed towards the look out kitchen where he could smell declivous food being cooked.
"Now seriously Mrs Chi-Chi I must insisted that you sit down and let me cook you are our guest after all" Mr Popo spoke in a distress tone as Chi-Chi flipped the rice in the sauce pan she was cooking.
"Nonsense I can't let you cook for all of us it's not right" Chi-Chi said kindly but Popo picked up on the determined tone of her voice.
"But" Mr Popo's argument was quickly silenced by Chi-Chi's stare the genuine quickly turned back to stirring the soup he was currently cooking.
"What's going on in here guys" Gohan asked curiously as he stepped into the room.
"Ahh great Gohan were making breakfast you can help me with the noodles you know how much you, your brother and Grandfather eat we need all the help we can get"
"Sure"
The two son's happily cooked alongside Mr Popo for several minutes before they were interrupted by Dende entering the room the Guardians cheeks where purple from all the blood rushing around his body.
"Go-gohan it's Trunks he's he-headed this way" Dende panted
"What!" Chi-Chi yelled undoing her apron before heading towards the kitchin door. She was stopped however by Gohan's grip on her shoulder.
"Let me go talk to him mother" Gohan said quietly
"What after last time you meet? It turned into an all-out brawl Gohan I do not want that happening again" Chi-Chi yelled out angrily to her son.
"Don't worry mum" Gohan began calmly a smile on his face "Dad talk to me last night and I just know this is the right thing to do, I won't fight Trunk's I promise I just want to talk and sort things out theirs no point in being angry anymore"
Chi-Chi merely nodded allowing Gohan to rush past her. As her son left the black haired women let out a low sigh. "Oh Gohan your so much like your father" Chi-Chi said allowed to no one in particular.
White hot aura flowed around Gohan as he headed towards where he sensed Trunks intending to meet his fellow Demi-Sayian half way. A couple of minutes later the two meet both stopping severally meters away from each other. Moments past where the two warriors just glared at each other both trying to work out the others intentions it was Gohan that decided to speak first.
"I'm here to talk not fight" The demi-sayian spoke calmly his white aura disappearing as he lowered his guard.
"Same here" Trunks said as his aura too disappeared a soloum look on his face "I'm sorry" Trunk's blurted out as Gohan raised his eye brow in surprise. "I shouldn't of lost my temper like that and go for Goten and your grandfather like I did, it was my fault I left my time machine to open I shouldn't have been so careless" With that Trunks bowed to his masters alternative self, shame filling his body.
Suddenly Trunks felt the warm hand of Goha on his shoulder looking up he notice the Demi-Sayian's kind warm eyes.
"I forgive you Trunks I guess we both let things get a little out of hand what do you say we just put all this behind us yeah"
"Yeah"
With that both teenage boy's shook hands their old respect for each other renewed.
Back at Capsule Corp Bulma looked at her monitor proudly at the two boy's as the shook hands. Turning off the screen and stretching her arms above her head the scientist let out a soft sigh.
"Thank god for that now everything can go back to normal" With a yawn Bulma headed off to bed content with the night's events.
