Hey everyone! Sorry I forgot to put this in here the other day! Anyways, chapter 2 in now out, as you can tell. Pretty nice fight scene in it I believe. Enjoy!
"Dad!" Gohan, from the present, yelled, glad to finally see his father again. His father was wearing strange clothing with frills on the edges and a black metal shoulder pad strapped onto another plate covering his chest. Under that he had his regular orange pants and blue boots.
"Hey guys, what's up!" Goku said in his usual cheerful demeanor.
"Father..." The Gohan from the future looked at his saiyan father for the first time in almost twenty years. His eyes began to well up with tears, but after his years of fighting on his own and being the sole protector of Earth his pride wouldn't allow the moisture to go anywhere.
"You look really familiar, do I know you?" Goku directed his question at the future visitor after he had finished greeting all of his friends. Gohan had a solemn smile on his face.
"Yes and no," He replied. "I'm your son from the future."
"Really?! That's cool! I thought you looked a little bit like Gohan!" Goku didn't hide his excitement very well. Then a thought occurred to him, "So why are you back in our time? And where's your arm?!"
Future Gohan heaved a sigh of exhaustion. Bulma noticed this and figured she would give Gohan a break. "He came back to give you these." She handed him the medicine.
"Yuck, pills! What are these for?" Goku's mind immediately pictured a hospital, a place he didn't like at all. Hmm, they look purple, maybe they're grape flavored, that wouldn't be so bad...
"They're for your heart dad, he, I, um me from the future says that you are going to have a virus that attacks your heart and kills you" The present Gohan said. Yup, definitely going to take them, grape isn't bad at all.
"Alright, so what happened to your arm?" He questioned further.
"Come to think of it, you haven't told us that yet either." Piccolo chimed in, interested to hear what happened to his pupil in the future that left him with such a handicap, though he was pretty sure he could guess it.
"A year or two before we made the time machine and I came back here I fought against the androids. At first it seemed like I was about to win, but then, then they launched a massive attack. I tried to protect Tr- er, my friend, but it left my side open. They said I was lucky I didn't bleed out." Gohan looked down, thinking of his failure. After few seconds he bit back his sorrow and returned to the present, so to speak.
"Alright then! Just one question." Goku said, pointing up with his index finger, a serious expression on his face.
"Yeah?"
"What's an android?"
"Haha! Umm, well, it's basically a robot that looks a lot like a human." Gohan was glad to see that his father was just as he remembered him. Goku was still as innocent and kind-hearted as Gohan had recalled when he last saw him, now it was time to see if he was just as strong. His face became more stern as he thought of the task at hand now.
"Dad, go Super Saiyan please."
"Huh?" Goku was confused until he saw the look on Gohen's face. He knew what his son from the future needed in an instant. He looked deep within himself and found the Super Saiyan energy and drew it out. His hair stood on end and became a bright yellow. His muscles enlarged, ki filling his body and blasting out of him at the same time, creating a violent golden aura. Everyone was taken aback by his power, though when Gohan changed into Super Saiyan they were taken aback even more so. It was the first time in thousands of years that two Super Saiyans were in the same place, and a couple seconds later when their fists connected it was the first time that two Super Saiyans had fought against each other in a millenia.
Gohan dodged both of his father's fists and dealt a blow to Goku's stomach. Goku took a couple steps back to regain his balance but Gohan charged him. Using mostly his feet to attack Gohan kept the most powerful defender of Earth at bay. After a few kicks Goku caught onto the pattern of his future son's attacks and grabbed his leg. He spun Gohan around a few times before letting go and sending him flying into a nearby cliff. Gohan sat up and brushed off the rubble. He launched off towards his father, kicks meeting punches and vise versa. Each time the golden warriors met the Earth trembled under their strength.
Goku landed a punch after a few minutes, mostly due to luck by his own admittance. Gohan's body lifted up a few inches by the force of Goku's fist and he was dazed for a second or two. In that time Goku began to charge up a blast on the palm of his hand. As he launched it his futuristic son regained his senses. He dodged it at the last second by firing a kiai directly above himself. The kiai propelled Gohan towards the ground but before he hit he spun himself around and landed in a crouched position. With all three of his limbs he leapt off the ground towards his full blood saiyan father. Goku anticipated the move though and raised his hands, clenched together in a ball, he brought them down on his charging son.
Gohan had half a second to react, but he used it well. With his one hand he grabbed his father's attack and swung both legs at Goku. He connected with Goku and sent him flying back. Gohan launched four ki blasts at his father and then rushed in, faster than the blasts. Gohan punched him in the chest, sending him rocketing upwards. Still on his trail, Gohan flashed upwards and smacked Gokus sideways, followed by a continuous barrage of punches to Goku's abdomen as they sailed across the sky. Finally Gohan ended the pummeling by sliding past Goku and hitting him downwards.
Goku watched his son stay the same place and spent his downward tumble trying to catch his breath. He quickly realized he shouldn't have done that as a ki blast found it's way to Goku's back. Then another, then another. Finally the last one exploded against Goku's side. Before Goku could see it coming he felt Gohan's ki gather and then launch a massive beam at him. Just as it was about to reach him Goku quickly touched his head and appeared behind Gohan.
Gohan took a second to realize what had happened before he recalled all those years ago when his father had come back by teleporting to Earth. He felt Goku's ki appear behind him and swung his fist backwards, catching his father by the jaw.
"Wow you saw that coming?" Goku said, surprised to be taken so off guard when he expected to have surprise Gohan.
"I've seen you use that before, remember?" Gohan smirked. Goku smiled and then nodded. The two golden auraed warriors clashed once again, trading blows and taking hits from each other. They once again appeared even to those watching. Goku had taken a few more direct hits than Gohan had, but he was keeping up all the same. Finally Goku saw his opening.
Once again Goku gained the upper hand as he smashed Gohan in the chest. Gohan flew back, barely managing to catch himself. Before Goku could reach him, Gohan launched a barrage of ki blasts to fend him off. Goku dodged most of them, left, down, left, right, up, down. One finally connected with Goku's leg. The explosion sent him tumbling head over feet, causing more blasts to connect. Goku managed to regain his composure and charged through the blasts towards his older son.
The Z fighters sat on the sidelines watching in awe. Vegeta was still kneeling on the ground. He got up after he saw both shining fighters launch Kamehamehas at each other. Before anyone could react Vegeta blasted off the ground and towards Capsule Corp. He was gone faster than anyone could raise a finger.
"W-where'd he go?" Yamcha sputtered out.
"Looks like he headed to Capsule Corp, and could you blame him? These guys are monstrous!" Krillin replied.
"Wow, I'm gonna be strong enough to take on dad!" Gohan couldn't help but smile.
"Jeez! You Saiyans are all the same!" Krillin exclaimed.
Back on the battlefield Goku jumped up to his feet and brushed the dust off his shoulders. Gohan had just amplified his power even more and rocketed Goku into a crater that previously hadn't been there. He was excited to see his son so powerful, but at the same time he knew that the power only came with a great loss. Still, the saiyan in him felt nothing but pride in his future son. He looked up and saw a change in Gohan's expression. Smiling, he reverted back into his regular state, watching Gohan do the same.
"So, did ya see what you needed to?" He asked the man hovering above him. After a second of heavy breathing Gohan replied.
"Yeah, I just had to be sure I didn't build up your power in my head all those years."
"So did ya?"
"No, you're just as powerful as I remembered." Gohan landed and they both returned to the rest of the Z fighters. The area where they had fought now lay in rubble. Gohan's gi was torn on the right side and his pants had a few holes in them now. Goku had a few cracks in his armor and his left pant-leg had been ripped off as he dodged one of Gohan's ki barrages.
"Wow you're really strong!" The younger Gohan said as he ran up to his future counterpart. He had one of the most enthusiastic looks Goku had ever seen in his son. The Gohan of the future smiled at his younger self, then a frown came across his face.
"I may be strong, but I wasn't strong enough to save those I cared about." He clenched his fists and addressed everyone, "Please, train harder than you ever have before, don't let my future become your reality." He turned to his father, a stern look across his face, "Take those pills every week dad, we need everyone we can get."
"Will you come back and fight with us?" Krillin asked, he was worried to lose such a powerful asset to their group. One less person that strong would mean that he might die that much sooner. He had already died once and even though King Kai had offered to let him stay on his planet the next time Krillin was in no hurry to kick the bucket again.
"It takes awhile to charge up my machine for a round trip, but if I survive that time then I'll be back on May Ninth to help you guy finish the androids off for good." Gohan replied.
"Alright, take care son, see you in three years." Goku said as he gave his son from the future a quick hug. Gohan took to the air and waved at everyone.
"Bye guys, see you soon!" He blasted off towards the North.
"OK you guys heard what he said let's get down to it! I'll be training at Capsule Corp, anyone want to go with me?" Yamcha said, hoping for someone to train with other than Vegeta.
"I would go, but Vegeta is there, I don't want to share the same roof as someone who killed me." Tien replied.
"Actually," Gohan chimed in, "I felt Vegeta's ki leave to planet during that fight."
"Darn him! He must have taken the ship he used to try and track down Goku! I just finished the repairs on that thing!" Bulma yelled.
"Alright, I suppose I could train with you then Yamcha. Chaotzu will come along as well. Maybe this time we can contribute something to the fight." With that settled Tien, Chaotzu, Yamcha and a pissed off Bulma got into the Capsule Corp plane Bulma had driven there and took off for her home.
"Hey Piccolo!" Goku called over to the namekian after they had left. "Ya wanna train with Gohan an' me?"
"Yes, I'm interested to see what you've learned the past year." The green man replied. Gohan was overjoyed that his old teacher would be joining them as well.
"Awesome! Mr. Piccolo could you try to teach me how to do the Special Beam Cannon again please?" Gohan semi begged his green mentor.
"You get ahold of it in the future, I can't see why giving it another try would hurt."
"Yes!"

Thanks to everyone who has reviewed! Keep them coming! It's awesome to get feedback!
Alright! Now on to the Android saga!
