6 yrs after the cell games 16 yr old Gohan was training with Piccolo so he would be ready for any threat that arrives on earth. During a beam struggle with his Mentor Gohan was engulfed in a white light and ended up in Ancient China where he will meet Aisha, and RinRin to start and then the rest later. And so our story begins
Chapter 3:
Gohan , Aisha, RinRIn, Shuri, and Touka were having dinner when Touka started looking at Gohan curiously. They both blushed and looked away which didn't go unnoticed by the others. Touka (Ryuubi) then started having a flash back to when she first met Gohan.
Flashback: Touka was on her way to Shoku when she was approached by the same three bandits that encountered Gohan when he first arrived.
"Hey there pretty lady nice sword you got there" the short bandit said.
"Yeah could be worth a lot heh…heh…heh… you also have a nice rack" the taller bandit said.
"Duhh…what do you want us to do boss" said the fat one.
"It's simple Idiot… we rape her and take her valuables" the boss said.
"Onegai…please don't" Touka said scared out of her mind as the three bandits came closer.
"Onegai…Kami sama…someone help me" she thought as she closed her eyes and tears started pouring.
Gohan was doing some patrols around town when all of a sudden he felt a Ki signature in distress along with 3 familiar ones from before. He then used his Instant Transmission to get to the location of the Ki signatures to find out that it was the same 3 bandits from earlier and a very pretty girl.
"Not these three again… I bet there up to no good" Gohan thought.
As the bandits were about to strip the girl Gohan appeared out of nowhere which startled the bandits.
"Wh…Wh…Where the hell do you come from" the Boss bandit said.
"Right now that doesn't matter…What were you going to do to this girl" Gohan asked not pleased.
"Duh…we were going to rob her and then rape her" the fat one said.
"BAKA" the other 2 bandits said and face faulted.
"Well it doesn't matter anyway…We'll kill you and then have our way with her" the Boss bandit said.
Gohan smirked "Kill me…I'd like to see you try…tell ya what I'll just stand here while you attack and then when you're done it'll be my turn… you can come one at a time or all together…but let me warn you …you have no chance against me" as he pointed to himself.
Touka looked at Gohan like he was crazy challenging 3 armed men with no weapon and "what does he mean they have no chance he doesn't look like a warrior… He's going to get himself killed" she thought.
"Alright hero it's your funeral" the Boss bandit said as they took out their swords and got in a fighting stance.
"Me first boss" the short one said. The boss nodded his head as the short Bandit stepped forward.
Gohan smirked "I would suggest that you all attack me at the same time… even still… you have no chance" he said confidently.
"Shut up…all it will take is me…Haaaa" the short one said as he lunged at Gohan intending on stabbing him in the stomach with his sword only for it to be caught.
Eyes were bugged out and mouths were opened amazed and shocked that this boy caught the blade effortlessly.
As the Bandit tried to pull his sword back from Gohan he did something that really shocked them all including Touka using the same hand he caught the sword with he broke it in half. This move not only shocked everyone but frustrated the bandits.
"Baah…You just got lucky…that was not a good sword anyway…Here take this one" the boss bandit said as he threw the short man another sword.
"Look I don't have all day time to wrap thing up" Gohan said.
"Alright let's get him boys Haaaaaaa" the Boss bandit said.
As the three of them approached Gohan. Touka was making a move to help him but Gohan looked back at her as shook his head letting her know he got this. Touka then nodded back still worried that her savior would get hurt.
Just as the bandits started to strike Gohan smirked "Now" he said softly as the bandits were attacking fiercely. They kept attacking and attacking and attacking until they started losing breath.
Touka who watched the whole thing couldn't believe what she was "I can't believe it…how is he doing it…he never moved…but the attacks went right through him…how" she thought.
"Ha…ha…ha…ha…man our attacks aren't hitting him yet he haven't moved an inch what is he" the boss bandit thought.
Gohan still smirking "Whats wrong tired already…I thought you were going to kill me" he said.
"Why you Haaaaaa" the bandits said as they attacked.
This time Gohan let the attacks hit he really don't want to kill them so he thought of a different plan as soon as all three attacks hit the three swords broke at the same time. That was the final straw for the bandits as they were wide-eyed and scared.
"Wha…what…are you" the bandits said.
"I told you you had no chance of defeating me" gohan said as he took on a fighting stance "Now it my turn" he said.
"He's …a…MONSTER…LET GET OUT OF HERE" they yelled as they ran away.
"Phew" Gohan sighed and then turned to look at the girl who was staring at him amazed.
"Are you alright miss" Gohan asked as he helped her up.
"H…Hai" Touka replied standing.
"Im Gohan…Son Gohan by the way" he said
"Ryuubi…but my true name is Touka" she said.
They headed to their destination which so happens to be where Gohan came from.
Flahback End: Bacho (Sui) came delivering some disturbing news about Enshou and Enjustsu they were planning on executing Toutaku this disturbing news was not taken lightly by our heroes.
"Gohan Sama we have to save her" Aisha said
"Yeah…Oni-chan lets go and save her" RinRin replied.
"Hawawawa…I think so too" shuri said.
Without saying a word Gohan rushed out the door.
"So where he's heading in such a hurry?" Ryuubi asked. "He looks like he's in a rush to actually dash off without meeting us."
"It looks like he's heading to Enjutsu's city." Komei replied.
Kan'u gave a slight nod. "He's rescuing Yue." Everyone looked at Kan'u in confusion. "He said he'll be back with her."
"Huh, but why?" Bacho asked. "Why would he risk his life to do that? We don't even know him."
"I don't know the reason, but he said he didn't want us to continue to fight over for one life." Kan'u explained. She smiled softly. "He said that if we were to go on like this, we would have thrown away hundreds of lives just to save one life. So he volunteered himself in saving her so we won't have to waste any more lives."
"…" Everyone understood.
"I don't know about you all, but even we don't know him, he seems to know us better than we know ourselves all together." Kan'u stated her opinion. "He understood the goal and Shoku, thus to prevent any further damage to that dream, he step forth to do the job for us. He really knows what to be done."
Everyone gave Kan'u explanation a thought for a moment.
"Mo, batai doesn't really get it, but sounds like he's a really good guy." batai blurted.
"Uh huh, me too" Bachou quickly agree.
"He has a true sense of virtue and knows just what to do." Chou'un grinned "interesting."
Bacho looked at her sister. "Ne, Aisha" she began "will he come back? I really want to meet him in person. The way you describe him, he must be a really good person to be friends with."
Kan'u nodded. "The question is now…will he be able to come back." Chou'un reminded everyone. "It would be great and all for him to come back to us, but if he really can pull this off, that's would a different story. This would determine if all his words are really true or just a bunch of hot air and lies."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"If he does come back though…" Komei muttered. "He could be…the one that could change this land's future." Everyone looked at the petite strategist. "Remember the prophet we met a few days before?"
Evil will walk the land with power that is unmatched by all… death and destruction will befall us upon its arrival but yet In the time of chaos when the world cries for peace a young warrior of unparallel power and strength will descend from the heavens and rid us from the evil and bring peace to the land.
Komei recited an unseen event to everyone.
"So what you're saying is…that this guy could possibly be the Messenger of Heaven we looking for?" Bachou tried to comprehend.
"Well, it's possible." Komei explained "I mean we are in a queer with the En Forces. We probably need to go check with the prophet again to see if there's a way to describe the Messenger of Heaven."
Everyone began to think about what Komei just said.
"If what Shuri-chan say is true" Ryuubi muttered "Then the land will finally be at peace very soon."
"Hmm…" Kan'u and Chohi nodded. Kan'u gazed towards the direction of Enjutsu's city. Yes…peace at long last Kan'u thought. Gohan…if you are the Messenger of Heaven that we all seek…please help us in bringing the end to the chaos that plagues the land.
Unknown to everyone someone from Gohan's past has found a way out of HIFL thanks to some Idiot's in the underworld who weren't doing their guard duty.
"WHAT…CELL ESCAPED" King Yemma shouted.
The two guards nodded.
"How did this happen you were supposed to be on guard duty" king yemma stated.
"He had help sir… Bibidi along with Bojack and his men helped him" the two stated
"Damn…I need to contact King Kai" Yemma thought.
On the King Kai's planet Goku saw doing his usual training as King kai was telling his bad jokes.
"King Kai...KING KAI" yeamma yelled.
"Yes King yemma" King Kai replied.
"Listen something terrible has happened…Cell Escaped with the help of Bojack and Bibidi" he explained.
Goku instantly stopped his training "Cell Escaped HIFL" Goku asked.
"Yes Goku…It seems like he has" King Kai stated.
"So what are we going to do" Goku asked.
Then a voice out of nowhere came in "I usually don't allow powerful beings from other dimensions to cross over in my dimension but in this case it's different and I will allow it" the voice said.
"I have already sent someone to take care of that insect Cell…Oh and pardon my rudeness my name is Jing I am the god of destruction from the 17th universe…I have already spoken with the supreme Kai and Bills your God of destruction who gave me the okay to do so.
"God of Destruction" Goku thought.
"I'll explain later Goku" he said
"So who did you send" King Kai asked.
"Heee…heee…heeeeeee…I sent your son Goku…Gohan" he said happily.
"GOHAN" Goku and King Kai replied.
"Yes…Gohan…Since he is the most powerful warrior in your dimension not to mention he did defeat Cell 6yrs ago…I think he perfect for the job" Jing said.
"That does make sense…Is it possible to speak with him" Goku replied.
"Yes you can… but it'll be later once I replenish my energy it took a lot out of me to send him there and keep his power level the same while keeping the balance of the dimensions. Jing said
Goku nodded satisfied with his answer.
" Once his task is over you can return him home using both sets of dragon balls…Now I must close this link between us as I need to replenish my power farewell" Jing said.
"Don't worry King Yemma Gohan will get rid of Cell you can count on it" Goku said as King yemma was satisfied with the answers he got.
Mean while in an underground cavern Cell is slowly conserving his energy while thinking about how much destruction he's going to cause but unknown to him a past enemy is there to stop him.
En Faction: Outside the prison now, the disgusting government official rode his horse down the street, escorting the weak and exhausted Toutaku like a parade (a humiliation parade). Toutaku was forcefully marched around the city with the label "Imperial Kan Traitor" labeled around her cangue, being publicly humiliated and criticized. Some of the criticism was good like "Toutaku, wasn't she the good governess of the To province" "Yeah I heard that she was a good lord, there must be a mistake", others weren't so pleasant to hear like "So that's the Traitor that fought against Enshou-sama, I guess looks can be deceiving" "Death to the traitor of the Kan, death for glory of Enshou-sama". Toutaku cried in shame as she continue her walk to her execution. She wanted to stop and just cry, but she couldn't otherwise the guards would whip her. She was exhausted and weakened due to her time in her prison cell; she wasn't treated properly, fed properly, nor couldn't she get much rest. Her prison uniform (fully white with an encircled kanji for 'sin' on the chest of the top piece of the uniform) smelled horrible like feces mix with burnt rubber and blood, and the sun beaming down at her heats up the metal shackles making it hard for to continue walking. As she continued on her long 'walk of shame', Toutaku cried more and began wondering about the future.
What will become of this land? Toutaku wondered. A land full of corruption, heroes and good people dies quickly and yet villains and evil lives on. Where is the justice that justifies the land? What is justice to Imperial Kan?
At the execution site, the site was consist of a stone stage platform surrounded by wooden barricades and old fashion canopies set up around the execution platform. Having front seats on the side of the platform were the three major warlords of the land that has the most power throughout current China: Sousou of Gi (Left), Enshou of En (Center), Sonsaku of Go (Right). The other minor warlords sat across from them which have less room (around 13 others). Taking the front of the execution platform would be the Enjutsu's official that would judge the short trial and execute the proper punishment; Enjutsu herself was seated towards the edge of the platform, angled position in between her cousin's side and her minor subordinate's. Each of the lords' loyal subjects or important members of the faction such as Sonken, Kakoton, or Bunshuu would either have seat behind their lord or stand instead. The crowd of people gathered around and awaited the execution.
During the wait, many of the other lords were murmuring amongst themselves. Enjutsu yawned in a tedious manner and demanded Choukun, Enjutsu's personal aide, to bring her some honey tea. Enshou was sounded asleep on her elbow as her subordinates, Bunshuu and Ganryo, poke fun of each other. Sonsaku and Sonken were conferring about the future of Go and Sonshoukou, who pouted and almost threw a tantrum upon hearing the conversation. Sousou sat calmly playing go with Kakoton; Kakoton losing of course.
"It's almost time Karin-sama." Kakoen reported. "It seems that Kan'u and Shoku couldn't make it in time."
Sousou picked up a playing piece and place one on the board, to Kakoton's frustration. "Hmm…well I didn't expect much." The calm ruler replied. "Kan'u and the other generals are strong indeed, but they don't have much of a strong leader to lead. They're in a hurry, so obviously they'll be more reckless than ever."
"Tsk, how unfortunate of them." Jun'iku snickered. "Now if it was Karin-sama here, a battle with Enshou's forces would only last for one day. Shoku is just too slow when it comes to war."
Sousou sighed. "Such a pity though, I wanted Kan'u to be here at least. I thought that at least she would be able to break through Enshou's and Enjutsu's fronts and charge here herself, but I guess I gave too much credit to her."
"Karin-sama, could you please not talk about Kan'u and focus on the game." The frustrated Kakoton muttered looking at the game board.
"What are you talking about Shunran" Sousou chuckled. "You should be more focus on the game; you're the one losing right now. Now don't start blaming me for bringing up about Kan'u and saying that it is making you lose now."
The flustered Kakoton scratched her head in confusion as she made her move. "Whatever the case is, if Kan'u shows her face here to rescue Toutaku, I'll take her down and capture her for you without hesitation, you can count on that Karin-sama."
Sousou smiled brightly at her loyal subject. "Ho, you'll do that for me? Are you not afraid that Kan'u might be favored over you?" She teased her cousin, who blushed red in frustration.
"Karin-sama…" Kakoton pouted to her lord's tease, to Sousou's and Kakoen's amusement.
From the corner of the street, Enjutsu's subordinate came through and entered the execution site. He approached Enjutsu and knelt before her. "Enjutsu-sama, I have brought Toutaku as ordered. We may now begin the execution, your orders my lady?"
Enjutsu took a big sip from her honey tea, leaving behind honey smears on her face. "All right, good job; begin the execution as scheduled so we can get over with it already." She ordered her subject. Choukun approached Enjutsu and wiped her mouth of the leftover honey tea. "Bring forth Toutaku the Traitor."
Her subordinate took a bow and took his seat on the front of the execution platform as the judge. "Drum roll" He ordered. The drum boomed in the public execution, grabbing the attention of all the lords.
Enjutsu sighed in depression. "What's wrong Miu-sama?" Choukun asked her lady.
"Ah no, it's just the execution." Enjutsu complained. "They're all so boring. The judge just denounces the criminal to the public, states what kind of punishment will be given, and then execute the criminal. The blood splattering is so nasty as well, makes me want to puke. I can't believe I have to attend this too."
"Well Miu-sama, it's because it happened here." Choukun chuckled nervously.
"It happened here because Reiha-neesama wanted to happen here." Enjutsu corrected. "I mean, this could have happen at her city, we could have move Toutaku there to be executed, but she had to make it here. The worst part is that she made me pay out for all of this: the platform, the shades, the publicity, everything came out of my pocket! Piss me off!"
Choukun merely chuckled timidly at Enjutsu's complaint as the execution proceeded.
"Bring forth the Imperial Kan Traitor!" The government official commanded. With the command, the guards came through the street, bringing along to the tired, beaten, and tortured Toutaku. They led her up the platform and forced her to kneel before the eighteen lords present at the execution and the corrupted government official that is taking the role of prosecutor. The man slammed the gavel on the table silencing the public crowd that gathered. "Citizens of the Imperial Kan" He announced, "Today is a glorious day for the noble En clan capturing the traitor of the Imperial Kan. The leader of the treacherous To faction that corrupted the Imperial Court. The one that dared to named our noble leader, Enshou Honsho, a traitor and tainted the pride and nobility of the En clan. The traitor and will forever be marked as a deceiving traitor of the Kan." The official continued reading the crimes that Toutaku 'committed' to the public. "Furthermore, rumor is that this traitor, as the governess of the To province, was also having affairs with several men in her district. People on the street say that every nights of a full moon, the governess would leave her mansion and would meet up with men in the outskirts of her district. By dawn she would return worn out and not dressed properly like a ruler of a district, according to witnesses. Such filthy and shameless acts cannot go unpunished under the name of the Emperor and the Imperial Kan." Toutaku bit her lip in frustration, hearing the false crimes that she was accused of. However, she couldn't say anything because being locked up in prison for quite some time already, she was exhausted to the point she could barely talk or hold herself up. "Our lady, Enshou-sama, personally tried to investigate on these crimes and called her forth for an explanation. However, instead of confessing to our noble leader, the traitor of the Kan insulted the pride of the En clan and accused her of doing wrong. Such words that put shame upon the En clan's name and reputation can't be ignored." Toutaku slowly turned to Enshou, hoping to see if the noble leader would speak up, only to find that she was hopelessly fast asleep already. "My lords loyal to the Imperial Kan, do you all agree that this traitor is guilty of her crime?" The government official looked towards all the other lords.
One by one, each of the minor warlords rose to their feet, "Guilty", they would say and then they would sit back down—almost like a jury. Enjutsu's subordinate bowed his head in respect to the lords and looked towards the other side.
"Lady Sousou-sama, what do you plead for the traitor in front of you?"
Sousou rose to her feet, avoiding looking at the helpless Toutaku. "Guilty" She replied firmly with her eyes closed. She too feels unease with the decision she made, but only thought forward towards the future of Gi.
"Lady Sonsaku-sama"
Sonsaku rose to her feet next. "Guilty" She replied firmly to Sonken's discontent.
"Princess Enshou-sama"
The sleeping noble leader suddenly snapped up awake, many of the warlords chuckled at her especially Sousou. She cleared her throat as she spoke proudly. "Why you're asking me about this when I arranged this? Are you a fool or an idiot?" She pouted in embarrassment. "For the glory of the noble En clan, for the justice of the Imperial Kan, for the Emperor and the Imperial Court, I, Enshou Honsho, must do what is necessary to keep the Emperor's and the Imperial Kan's face: guilty!" She laughed triumphantly as the crowd cheered (because her servants instructed the crowd to cheer for her with the usual signs).
"Princess Enjutsu-sama…"
"—just get on with it!" Enjutsu growled at her subordinate, frightening the man.
The man cleared his throat and slams the gavel again. "Toutaku" He called out. "What do you plead then (even though it wouldn't matter much)?"
Toutaku bit her lip in shame and lowered her head, hiding her face. "The land already knows who I am and know what I have done during my time at the capital." She muttered weakly. "For the sake of the people, I will atone for my crimes." She gasped for air and held a strong face. "Guilty"
Toutaku… Sonken bit her lip, feeling guiltier than ever.
While flying Gohan was thinking to himself "Hold On Toutaku I can't let you die you are very important to this story" as he felt the distress in her Ki signature so his white Ki flame turned blue and he flew at an amazing speed hoping to make it on time.
The drums rolled as a large brutish shirtless man step up on the platform, wielding a great ax that was twice the size of little Toutaku that rested on his massive muscular shoulders.
"Ew, an ugly mountain ox" Sonshoukou muttered in disgust.
"What a horrible stench." Jun'iku complained. "The guy is going to slice Toutaku's head off like butter with that blade and strength."
"Hmph, the man looks strong." Kakoton muttered. "But he's not even close to troops of Gi."
"Well yeah, but…" Sonsaku joked. "That stench is more than a match for anyone here."
"I agree." Enshou grumbled. "I don't even think your generals can stand up to that midget."
"For once, you're right granny." Sousou frowned in disgust.
The drums beat louder than ever to the point the whole city could hear it. Toutaku closed her eyes and began to pray again. Gods from above, let my death brings peace to land once again. If the land comes to peace upon my death, then I have no regrets.
The executioner raised his blade up high and over his head. Sweat drop on to Toutaku's shoulder, causing her to shiver nervously. The crowd and lords breathed heavily as the suspense continued; sweating and shivering in excitement as they waited for the call.
Ei-chan…I guess this is good bye… Tears dropped from her eyes, mixing with her sweat that was already on the dry stone platform.
Ei-chan…
Everyone…
"DEATH TO THE TRAITOR" The government official gave the call. Everyone braced themselves and turned away from the scene that was to come. The executioner let out a powerful roar as he swung his massive blade towards Toutaku's neck.
I'm sorry…
Just as the man was bringing down his ax a burst of wind came (Gohan Kicked him but was just too fast for them to see) and knocked the man far far away causing the ax to fly in the air just as the ax were about to chop off her head Gohan appeared to fast for any of them to see and caught the ax just in time.
"Phew that was a close one…glad I made it in time" Gohan said.
Everyone froze in shock with their eyes widen and their mouths dropped upon seeing the craziness that just happen in a blink. Toutaku blinked, surprised that she wasn't dead. She turned around to see a man in an orange and blue gi with spikey black hair with one strand over his forehead standing over her.
Gohan then looked at her while blushing and was amazed at how cute she was.
"How could someone want to kill this cute girl" He thought.
"Ano…" She asked shyly.
"So you're Toutaku Chuuei true name Yue, am I right he asked.
"Uh Hai…" She replied weakly.
The other warlords stared at the man that stands before them; some shivering and some who just stared in total confusion.
"K-K-K-Karin-sama…" Jun'iku stuttered. "W…Who is that Kid?"
"I…" Sousou tried to replied, pausing for a moment to think. She stared at him in confusion and yet with some fascination and curiosity. "I…don't know." She chuckled.
The Kakou sisters blinked in confusion at Gohan.
"What just happened?" Kakoton asked her little sister.
"I don't know but whatever he did he handled a 200 pound executioner with one blow." Kakoen chuckled at her elder sister's question.
"Whoa…that was amazing." Sonshoukou smiled in amazement. "I couldn't see what he did.
"I ought to say." Sonsaku agreed nervously. "What about Renfa…Renfa?" The two sisters looked the middle child, who was totally entranced by Gohan's entrance. "Renfa" Sonsaku called out.
"Huh" Sonken jumped, snapping back to reality. The other two sisters stared at her in confusion. "What?"
"What's up with you?" Sonshoukou asked anxiously. "You had a weird face earlier."
"Huh, well…I don't know what came over me." Sonken muttered embarrassed by her sudden stump in mind.
The once wild Enjutsu stared blankly at Gohan, sparking some interest since he brought on something exciting. "Whoa, that never happened in an execution before." Enjutsu laughed. She pulled Choukun's arm. "Ne-ne, did you saw what happened? It was like Whooossh" and then the executioner was gone!"
"Uh…ah…yes…Miu-sama." Choukun nervously agreed. "That was something…all right…What... was…that."
Enshou roared. "You just ruined the noble En family's glorious moment!"
Gohan scratched his head and then looked down at Enshou. "sorry" Gohan apologized taking a bow. The other warlords chuckled and giggled as Enshou almost threw a fit, losing her temper. "By the way…who are you?"
"You arrogant fool; you dare talk to the noble Enshou-sama like that!" The government official warned Gohan. "Show your respect and kneel before her highness you peasant."
"I can't do that" Gohan said, glaring down at the shocked prosecutor. He turned back towards Enshou's attention. "Heh, so you're the noble Enshou Honsho everyone has been talking about."
"Hmph, no manners as expected from a barbarian." Enshou grunted. "But why yes, I am the noble and elegant Enshou of En that everyone has been talking so good about."
"Uh, I never said that it was good talking now." Gohan said.
"Why you" Enshou snapped. The others giggled at the two arguing; one more than the other.
"Anyways, I'm busy here so I don't have the time." Gohan pouted.
"Hey, you can't talk to Reiha-sama like that!" Bunshuu barked.
"Sorry again" Gohan apologized again, taking another bow. Enshou clenched her fists in anger and glared at the smirking Gohan.
"You just ruined my glorious day and noble execution you brat!" Enshou shouted.
"Glorious day and noble execution Enshou, Yeah right." Gohan chuckled.
"Anyways, I'm here for Toutaku, not you."
"What you say? And what does she has to do with you?" Enshou barked, pointing at Toutaku on the platform.
Gohan stepped up on the platform again and knelt down to Toutaku. "Don't worry Toutaku; I'm going get you out of this."
"Don't ignore me" Enshou yelled violently.
Toutaku stared into Gohan's eyes, finally being able to fully see her savior's face. "Uh but…I…" She tried explaining.
"We'll talk later about this, right now I'm getting you out of here." Gohan told her. Toutaku jumped in surprise. "Don't worry, I'm Kan'u's friend." He whispered to her.
Enshou chuckled to herself. "Oh I get it, you must be one of the men she was having an affair with huh?" Enshou assumed. "So you came to save her?"
"Affair, what affair"Gohan asked.
"Oh didn't you know," Enshou explained. "She was incriminated for having affairs with several men. I think about three other men according to rumors."
Gohan blinked blankly, thinking nothing of it. "So" Gohan said
"Tsk, what a dirty ugly man, I don't know you, who are you?" Enshou demanded.
"Of course we just met." Gohan replied bluntly.
"Shut up" Enshou growled. "I don't know who you are, but for ruining my glorious day with executing the traitor Toutaku was a big mistake." She snapped her fingers, calling forth a thousand spearmen to her side, pointing their spears at Gohan and Toutaku.
Gohan looked at the spear tips, testing to see how sharp they were. Sharp, he measured, sharp enough to only endanger Toutaku, but not on him.
"Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho, you must be thinking why what an impressive force I must have aren't you?" Enshou laughed. "You must be thinking right now how you should beg for forgiveness from me."
"I'm thinking right now how…" Gohan looked at the soldiers gathered around him. "…they don't stand a chance against me."
"Oh yes—hey wait a minute!" Enshou barked, realizing Gohan insulted her again.
"I mean to be honest, they are too weak." Gohan bluntly confessed. "A thousand of these guy is only worth one bandit here, this army wouldn't even scratch one of nappa's saiba-men."
Enshou glowed bright red in embarrassment hearing her army is only worth one bandit. Everyone laughed loudly upon hearing the insult, causing Bunshuu and Ganryo to blushed bright red as well. Enjutsu on the sideline—who supposed to be on Enshou's side since they're cousins— couldn't help but laugh and laugh.
"Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, this guy is hilarious!" Enjutsu laughed. "He just degraded Reiha-neesama's army of a thousand to a single bandit. Oh I never have seen such arrogance and ignorance from a man before. I love this!"
Enshou turned to Enjutsu in full rage. "Miu, how could say such things about your dear cousin like that! He's making fun of our army!"
"Oh come on now, you can't win so now you're asking your cousin to back you up?" Gohan joked. "Oh man, you are more embarrassing as the legends foretold." Gohan said remembering the story from his lessons with chichi.
Enjutsu laughed harder along with everyone else. Enshou finally reached boiling point and glared at Gohan full of rage. "Such insolence, you have some nerves to talk to the noble Enshou like that! Well it's not like it matters. You're just bluffing after seeing the awesome might of the astounding En forces!" Her troops poked their spears at Gohan, trying to intimidate and threaten him. "As mad as I am now, I, Enshou, am still an honorable and noble forgiving being. If you apologized to me now, I may spare your filthy life and save your face."
"Oh okay. So sorry your idiocy"Gohan apologized with a smirk, taking yet another bow, enraging Enshou even more.
"You insolent peasant" Enshou roared madly. "I have enough of your games. Troops, execute this beast!"
"Now wait…" Gohan called out, halting the attack. "Before you do anything…let me tell you a few other things before things get hectic here." He began. "I don't know what's up with you and what happen to you and Toutaku, but clearly you're blind to see that this girl is innocent." Gohan looked towards everyone at the execution site. "I mean look at her, such a gentle face can barely put up a fight. So how could she be a traitor to the Kan dynasty?" He looked down at the kneeling Toutaku, who looked back. "From what I see, I see a girl. A girl with dreams of making peace for the land, and I know that everyone here can see that as well as I can. She's just as unfortunate as everyone else to get caught up in weird situations. Now I don't know what she has done in the past, but she stands here, waiting for death, not because she's guilty or not. She's dying here today for the sake of the people; because when I look into those eyes I could tell right away…that those eyes aren't eyes of corruption or evil. She was hoping that by dying here today, as Toutaku, the traitor that we all are talking about, that it would bring an end to the turmoil and chaos that plagues this land." He paused for moment to look at everyone around him. "By dying here, she wished to bring peace, and you all know that. You all would know that once the death of Toutaku spread across the land, the pain and grudges in the hearts of people will vanish. That would have been the case…a happy ending… However; she would not expect that, this is only the beginning of a new age of chaos and turmoil. And for that reason is why I'm here today. Life: you only get one chance to make things right. For if she dies here, she will die in vain; her dreams left unfulfilled. Therefore…" He turned towards Enshou, "my mission here to today is her; she is the mission: I'm taking her with me no matter what the cost is."
The crowd jumped in shock after hearing Gohan's demand. Enshou clapped after hearing his speech. "Oh bravo, well done with that speech of yours." Enshou muttered. "How unfortunate for you though that I won't be letting you take her now." She waved her hand, signaling her troops to close in on the two.
"Enough of this " Gohan muttered. "I worked so hard on that speech too."
"So you think that one speech, a bunch of insults, would let you think you can steal Toutaku and get away with it?"
"Yes" Gohan said as he scratched the back of his head with that son grin.
"…" Enshou snapped. "Well you got that wrong."
"Nope, I think I'm right." Gohan grinned as the soldiers approached the two. He looks back at Toutaku. "We'll get out of here very soon "I tried the easy way, but apparently everyone wants the hard and high way!" He pulled his arm back across his chest using a half percent of his ki and in a swing, he sent half of the troops flying across the street.
The public audience fled in terror as the other minor warlords' troops appeared and prepared to battle.
"Eh, he can fight?" Enshou panicked, as she hides behind Bunshuu.
"Reiha-sama, get back" Ganryo told her highness.
The warlords retreated afar from the execution site as it was getting surrounded by troops.
"Keifa" Sousou ordered during the panic. "Signal our other forces and tell them to move out!"
"Yes Karin-sama." Jun'iku replied, fleeing the battle.
"Shuuran"
"Yes Karin-sama?" Kakoton responded.
"Who is that man, I never heard of such a man before." Sousou muttered. "Go see who he is."
"At once Karin-sama" Kakoton left Kakoen with her lord and rushed back into the execution site.
To the Go faction now, who also retreated, stood aside the battle and watched.
"Whoa, that guy is gonna get himself killed if he thinks he could beat all those guys." Sonshoukou laughed.
"He definitely have courage, I give him that… And what was that he did with his hand." Sonsaku smiled in interest.
"Sheren-neesama, what should our forces do?" Sonken asked.
Sonsaku took a moment to think. "We'll wait out a bit. It's pointless to rush into such battles. We'll watch and see what happens. I mean that guy is crazy to think he could handle so many troops like that by himself."
With the Gi faction making their move, and Go going on stand-by, what about Enjutsu then?
Amongst the panic, she actually stayed put to watch the action, filled with excitement.
"Miu-sama, why are you still sitting here, we should seek for cover." Choukun urged her princess.
"But if we retreat, I can't get a good view of the battle." Enjutsu pouted. "I just want to see how the guy is gonna get himself killed."
"Yeah, but…"
As Choukun continued to persuade her princess to leave, more troops from Enshou and the other minor warlords began to gather at plaza, surrounding Gohan and Toutaku.
"Oh boy, there are a lot of them." Gohan said as he scratched his head.
"Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho sounds like you're ready to give up already." Enshou laughed from afar.
"No I'm not giving up?"
"Oh come on now, don't tell me you're planning to fight off this number all by yourself now? You have no hope in defeating all of us together." Enshou teased.
Gohan turned to Toutaku who was chained up sitting on ground. He broke the chains with his bare hands and knelt down to give her a piggyback ride. "Time to go."
"Ano…" Toutaku hesitated.
"Oh you worry about the guy spreading rumors about you." Gohan replied. He looked around for the prosecutor, spotting him trying to flee. "Oh no you don't (wait right here I'll be back)" Gohan whispered the last part to Toutaku. He quickly dashed off in pursuit of the man that framed Toutaku.
The man fled quickly only to bump into Gohan along the way. He yelped in fear as Gohan grabbed him by the hair. "You're coming with me." Gohan grinned as he used Instant Transmission.
Gohan suddenly appeared back with Toutaku, surprising her. "Hello again?"
"Heh…" Toutaku blinked in astonishment.
"Well I got the guy."Gohan smirked as politely asked the guy to clear her name.
"Say what?" The prosecutor muttered in disgust, only see a small ball of Ki aimed at his stomach.
"Gohan then furrowed his eyebrows "There is enough power in this small ball of energy to eliminate an entire country you have 10 seconds to confess your crimes 9,8,7,6,5. The man was scared as he felt the immense power the ball of ki was generating after each second he counted.
"Okay…Okay…Okay" he said sweating as Gohan retracted the ki ball.
Toutaku I'm sorry for spreading harassing rumors about you, mistreating in prison, attempt of sexual harassment, not feeding you well, and not giving you a good bed to sleep on. I beg for forgiveness for all the sins I have done to you." The man cried out loud, causing Enjutsu to laugh on the sideline. Toutaku herself giggled after seeing the man bowing his head over and over and apologizing.
She patted the man on the shoulders and smiled weakly. The scared man looked back at Gohan. "Am I done here now?" He mumbled through his frightened and sweaty face.
"Well that was fun."Gohan exclaimed. He looked back at Toutaku and lends out his hand to her. "Need help with getting up now?"
"Ano…" Toutaku blushed, staring at him deeply. She smiled weakly and reached out for his hand. "Who are you?"
Gohan laughed only to get the same question from the approaching Kakoton on horseback. "Warrior, my lady request for your name; state now on who are you and what faction you're from." She demanded.
Gohan grinned at Kakoton. "May I ask first who your lady maybe first?" He asked politely.
"My lady is none other than Sousou Moutoku, the ruler of Gi." Kakoton replied. "I am her bladed general, Kakoton Genjou."
Kakoton Gohan blinked blankly, scanning her from top to bottom. "Whoa, so you're Kakoton…"
Kakoton's vein popped as Gohan continued staring. "Hey…"
"Oh so sorry, I didn't expect I'll meet the famous Kakoton of Gi." He complimented. "You have a really good reputation of being a powerful general."
Kakoton blushes a bit to the compliment and looked away, trying to look as if she's not impressed.
"Very cute, trying not to look impressed" Gohan thought. "A tsundere type girl perhaps"
"Enough with your sweet talks" Kakoton growled coldly. "You're good as dead." Letting her temper get to her, she charged at him with her horse, getting ready to cut him down with her blade.
"Was it something I said?" Gohan chuckled. He grabbed Toutaku and placed her on his back. "Hang on, I'll explain later." Toutaku held on tightly and braced herself as dodged Kakoton's attacks. He kicked her blade hard enough, causing Kakoton to her surprise to get fling off her horse. She landed safely on to her feet. "Not bad…"
She lunged forth to strike at Gohan, who easily dodged the attack. "…"
"Ooh, so you're the type to strike the enemy with engaging any conversation huh?" Gohan laughed. "This ought to be…" Kakoton let out a battle cry, striking down on Gohan again as he dodged again"…fun." He shoved Kakoton away as more troops took the opportunity to strike from the rear. With a full swing with one arm, he sent a powerful air wave cut towards the enemies attacking the rear, cutting them all down with one strike. Kakoton thrust her blade through, piercing through Gohan's abdominal or so she thought.
"It's over." Kakoton muttered.
"Whoa you almost got Toutaku here, if it wasn't for her being short." Gohan laughed, causing both Kakoton and Toutaku to flinch.
"Impossible you should have been dead by now!" Kakoton cried wide-eyed.
"After image gotta love it." Gohan smiled.
Suddenly from a distance, several arrows came racing through, passing Kakoton intending to penetrate through Gohan's head. Seeing the attack he ducked as the arrows pass by them. The troops saw an opportunity to finish him off and charged again. Without hesitation, he swung his foot in a sweeping motion again to his flank this time, cutting them all down before they could even reach him. "Your sister…has really good aim good thing I ducked in time." He complimented.
"How is he doing that." Kakoen jumped in astonishment.
"No…we're dealing with more than just a normal man." Sousou replied. "This man here was able to knock out a 200lb man with no effort… broke the chains off Totaku with his bare hands and that strange wind attack he used isn't normal either. I have a feeling that he's hiding his true potentials."
"Amazing, he's still a live!" Sonken exclaimed.
"Amazing" Sonshoukou said. "I never seen anything like this, this is just amazing!"
" Kakoton clearly made a fatal attack, but there is not a scratch on him from those attacks." Sonsaku replied. "It's almost like he's invincible how does he do it."
"You haven't given me an answer yet." Sousou reminded. "Are you not going to give me a name?"
"Hmph all right then I could give you a name I guess." Gohsn smiled. The warlords' troops surrounded him again. Kakoton pulled back and regrouped with Sousou. Gohan looked towards Sousou who stared back at him. I am Gohan…Son…Gohan… my mission is to rescue Toutaku Chuuei and take her back to Shoku!"
His voice echoed across the battle zone, causing many murmuring among the soldiers.
"Kan'u" Sousou questioned in confusion. "Kan'u has such a man under her thumb."
"We recently met and she recruited me." Gohan explained. "Under her orders, I've come to rescue friend here."
"You know Kan'u?" Toutaku asked shyly.
"Yep, were conrads."
Sousou twitched. "So, Kan'u recruited a talented lieutenant…interesting…yet frustrating at the same time."
"Ah so he's working under Kan'u, that explains why he's so strong." Sonsaku thumped her palm.
"Uh no, Sheren-neesama, it doesn't." Sonshoukou muttered. "He's clearly more monstrous and stronger than Kan'u so why would he work for her?"
"That's a good point." Sonsaku chuckled.
"Such a pity…he's already part of a faction." Sonken sighed. "It would have much better if he was on our side."
Sonsaku chuckled in agreement.
"Whoa, somebody like him works for Kan'u?" Enjutsu grumbled in awed. "Aww, I wanted to recruit him too. Hey Choukun, think of something to…huh?" Enjutsu looked around only to find that her aide fled to safety. "Mo, how can you just leave me like this?"
The troops attacked Gohan as he fended them off easily, knocking each one of them down as they come. Enshou grumbled in frustration.
"Wow, he really is strong, he's wiping our forces faster than swatting flies." Bunshuu replied.
"Reiha-sama, I think we picked on the wrong guy today." Ganryo suggested to her highness. "We should call back the troops."
"Are you kidding, my nobility is a stake here!" Enshou whined. "I can't let just some ugly kid beat us like this!" She looked at her two generals. "Iishe, Toshi, go down there and show the strength of true nobility."
"Eh" The two whined. The two eventually reluctantly agreed and went down to join the battle.
"Nani" Gohan said, Bunshuu and Ganryo, Enshou's two Generals." He joked. "This should be fun."
"Shut up!" Ganryo whimpered as she continues to attack.
The three fighters continued to clash for a few bouts, with apparently no winning or losing so far.
"Wow, it's already been 100 bouts already, we must be really good if we still could keep up like this." Bunshuu bragged.
"Yeah, you're not that tough after all." Ganryo agreed.
Gohan stopped "Are you kidding? I'm getting bored to see if you guys have any real potential, but there's nothing coming out of you both."
"Ha, you're just bluffing." Enshou replied. "You're just saying that to make yourself sound tough."
"Okay fine let me ask you then, if I was bluffing…" Gohan explained while fighting both generals unarmed. "Then how come they're not winning, when it's two versus one handicap since I have a passenger onboard?" He asked. "How am I losing, when I'm talking to you and fighting them off bare handed? How am I doing more work and yet they're sweating like crazy before I can drop one sweat? Oh please, tell that I'm bluffing."
Like Gohan said, the two generals of En were completely exhausted and were now losing the fight with him. The two generals were pushed back and nearly collapsed in exhaustion.
"How the heck…" Bunshuu gasped. "Are we losing? I thought we were winning."
"I wasn't even trying to begin with." Gohan yawned.
"But that's…just ridiculous." Ganryo replied. "How could you have so much endurance?"
"Because I'm already battle tested" Gohan explained. He cracked his knuckles and began approaching the two. "Now to finish this" he said as his saiyan fighting instincts were kicking in.
The two generals flinched as they watched Gohan slowly approached the two.
"Oh no, you don't think he's gonna do that to us do you?" Ganryo whimpered
"Aaaaaaah, no I don't want get raped!" Bunshuu cried in horror.
Gohan looked at the two screaming generals as they collapsed to the ground in a pitiful state.
"You filthy man, you better not do anything to those two or I'll…" Enshou blabbered while shivering in fear.
Gohan looked at the two whimpering generals who were crying for mercy, bracing themselves. Gohan blink blankly at the hopeless girls and face-palmed. "Oh god…this is embarrassing…" He muttered, trying to hold back his laughter. "Girls…I'm not a sexual predator like you think I am. If I was, I would have stripped you years ago."
"Huh?" The two generals gasped.
"You totally ruined the mood, oh wow, now I feel stupid for fighting you two to begin with." Gohan grumbled. "Go home and train more that's all I'm going to say. Do you both need help, I' m a good trainer." The two generals scrambled off in shame and went crying to Enshou. "Or maybe not…" Sheesh, these two…makes me look like I'm the bully when I did nothing.
Gohan shook his head in disappointment. "Well enough of this" He looked back at Toutaku, "ready to go?"
"Uh… yes" Toutaku replied shyly, holding on to Gohan tightly.
"Okay here we go then." Gohan smiled. As a white Ki flame surrounded them His body suddenly went airborne and began to take flight.
"…" Toutaku stared him. "Amazing…"
Sousou and the other lords witness this as well from afar.
"He serves under Kan'u, so if we capture him Kan'u would surely come to save him." Sousou strategized. "It's a gamble, but I might be able to take this man if I capture him. Kakoton, capture that man immediately!"
Gohan rose above up the crowd of soldiers who witnessed the incredible sight up close. The other lords stared in amazement on what Gohan just did.
Toutaku, being a passenger onboard Gohan, was astounded by this and got excited to see her flying above everyone else. "Amazing…how did you do that?" Toutaku asked in excitement. "Are you some kind of celestial being sent from the heavens?"
"Not exactly, but I'm here to help." Gohan went forward a bit but stopped for a bit
"Kakoton dashed towards her target with her blade at hand. Aside from Kakoton, the other lords' troops moved in again for the attack, only to get pushed away with what Gohan had in store. "What the…what sorcery is this?"
Without warning a blue Ki flame burst around Gohan and Totaku knocking down everyone who was close to him and he flew away. Enjutsu screamed in excitement all at the same time. Enshou's mouth dropped as she watched gohan fly away. "That dirty man is escaping!" She roared. "Bunshuu, Ganryo, go and fetch him immediately!"
"Yes ma'am." The two generals replied running after Gohan.
The Go faction headed for the exit of Enjutsu's city along with the Gi faction.
"Well…that was something all right." Sonsaku giggled. "Son Gohan huh, I hope to meet him again soon."
"Hmph, same here" Sousou agreed. "A warrior with such talents and power…could be quite being handy for warlords like us."
"Ho, Sousou of Gi is actually interested in men now?" Sonsaku teased her.
"Don't be mistaken, I'm interested in his powers and skills as a warrior." Sousou assured her. "And what about you then, don't you already have a lover?"
"Well yes, but I only want to meet up with him so he could help me a bit." Sonsaku confessed.
"With what, baring a child for you and Shuuyu" Sousou joked.
"No, on other family issues actually." Sonsaku replied. "So seeing that you don't have any troops with you, means that you have something ready in store somewhere else?" Sonsaku questioned Sousou before parting.
"Hmph, I always look for talent warriors to join up with Gi." Sousou replied, parting away with Sonsaku's forces. "I'm just getting ready to nab my prizes." She whipped her horse and rushed off up north with her two cousins following.
"That Sousou, always thinking one step ahead of everyone else" Sonsaku giggled.
Her two sisters galloped up next to her, engaging in a different conversation.
"Ne, Sheren-neesama, what you mean by using Gohan's to help with family issues" Sonken asked. "What you mean by that?"
Sonsaku giggled to herself, "Well what do think it means Renfa?"
Sonshoukou laughed. "She means that she planning to have that Gohan married into the Son family to make Go strong."
Sonken jumped. "Marriage, uh…neesama…I don't know…if that's really…" Sonken blushed as she began to mumble.
"Oh Renfa, I never listed out any names yet." Sonsaku giggled. "Unless…"
Sonken turned away in embarrassment. Sonshoukou giggled. "Oh, Sheren-neesama is gonna get Renfa-neesan married off?"
Sonken puffed bright red as Sonsaku laughed. "Well I didn't say that either." Sonsaku teased "Who knows, what if it was you Shoukou?"
Shoukou turned away bright red, playing with clothes. "Well, if you were to marry me to Gohan…" She began. "I wouldn't mind."
"Eh, you wouldn't" Sonken jumped.
"Nope" Sonshoukou pouted proudly. "Once I marry him, I could ask Gohan to go flying just like what he did a while ago! Mo, just thinking back, that Totaku is lucky to have a ride with Gohan! I want to fly too!"
The other two sisters chuckled at their little sister's ambitious ideas and thoughts about her future as they headed back to Go.
As they flew across the sky towards Shoku, Toutaku now cuddled up all comfortable in Gohan's arms, she gazed at his cheerful face once again. He looked back at her, causing her to blush.
"You look kind of tired there Toutaku. You should take a nap; I'll keep going as we go." he smiled down at her.
The smile he gave caused to feel unease a bit; a feeling in which she would want to shove him away in embarrassment, and yet at the same time, she just wants to bury her face into his Gi. His smile gave her warmth and comfort, making her feels safe and as if she was resting on cotton candy clouds. She doesn't know why, but she knows very little about him and knows what the future has in store for him, yet she places all of her trust in him for some reason. Something about him caused her to open up and just trust him. Was it his smile, she would think, or perhaps it's because of his good intentions that he speak of. Whatever the case is, she glad she had meet him and that he was keeping her safe—even though she knows that it is kind selfish for her to think like that.
"Yue…" She mumbled softly, finding comfort in his chest.
"Huh" Gohan blinked looking down at her.
"Could you call me Yue?" She mumbled again, looking into his eyes.
"Is that your real name? It's really cute, Yue-chan!" Gohan smiled softly at her. She giggled in his arms as she closed her eyes and took her nap. After all the hell she been today, all the things that she was ready to do, all that explanation would have to wait because Yue was fast asleep in his arms.
