"I..!"
Gohan pushes himself up, his only arm supporting his weight. Inwardly, he cursed his weakness, blaming himself for putting his burden on Trunks, when he should have held it himself. Glaring up, he stared into the male android's eyes.
"I'll tell you this! I won't die! When I fall, and my body breaks, another person will take my place, stronger than me! To protect the earth, from you monsters!"
Shaking on his feet, Gohan charged up his last Kamehameha, his arm held back with all his energy pouring into the orb of pure power.
"Even if I don't have enough… I'll try anyway! I'll give what remains!"
A new resolve filling his eyes, Gohan puts more energy in his palm.
"..."
The androids watched without even so much as flinching, their mouths curved in a sadistic smile.
"Ka… Me… Ha… Me.."
His arm flung forward, glowing a fearsome blue.
"HAAA!"
The energy blasted through the androids, obscuring their figures, as the beam launched up to the sky, clearing the clouds, and revealing a starry night.
"Ah… It's… So… Beautiful."
His hair turning black, he falls to the ground, splashing unceremoniously into a puddle of water, his life fading, and yet in vain. The androids live on.
"If only… If only… If… Only…"
His unsubmerged eye looked at the reflection of the sky, barely seeing the edge of the effect of his beam.
"Give me… No… Trunks…"
"Another chance…"
Gohan opened his eyes, his sharp smell picking up on hand sanitizer.
"Where am I?"
His mind seemed to be foggy, and his stomach was the only thing he could think of. He was used to being hungry, but this was different. It was like he was asleep for a few days.
"Doctor! Patient 349 is awake!"
Gohan blankly turned to what appeared to be a nurse. He wore a purple scrub and was currently holding Gohan's only hand.
"Hey, friend! How do you feel?"
"I-I…"
Gohan groaned in pain, wincing as he closed his eyes.
"I'm so hungry…"
Right on cue, his stomach growled, almost angrily.
"T-Tasty! This is so good!"
"A-Are you sure he should be eating this much?"
A doctor watched in nigh horror as Gohan swallowed down some boiled fish, a few bowls of rice, plenty of fresh fruits, and gallons of broth.
"Well, his organs seem to be fine…"
Gohan couldn't help but grin in happiness. He turned to the nearest employee with a half-eaten apple in his hand.
"Excuse me! How'd you guys get so much food?"
He was sure he would never eat fresh fruit again, so how did these people get so much of it?
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Hm?"
Gohan scratched his head.
"Do I have to say it? The android attacks. They caused so much damage, including farms."
"Androids? Oh, you poor thing."
The employee shook her head.
"There are no androids here, maybe you had a bad dream in your 3-day nap. You were in such a bad shape, maybe you're mentally hurt too…"
"W-What?"
"So… It's year 22xx?"
"Yes, it is indeed."
"Well… From what I remember, it was Year 780."
"Year 780? Just as I thought, you were either mentally attacked or you have confusion from your injuries."
"I-I see. I really doubt that. I can still use my ki, and I'm sure none of my memories are fake. Of course, how would I know?"
"Yes, I do recommend having some therapy, talk it out to see what's truth and what your mind made u-"
A large explosion erupted from the first floor of the hospital.
"What was that?!"
The doctor fell over onto his front, the building trembling as everyone in it began to scream.
"No!"
"M-M-Mine!"
The villain twitched violently, as he tore through the storage of the hospital.
"M-More! More!"
"A drug addict? How sad! And attacking a hospital doesn't help your image."
The villain snapped towards the voice, his eyes landing on a wooden man.
"Don't! Stop! Me! A-Again!"
Flinging his hand towards the hero, he send a barrage of explosive bundles of flesh.
"Away! Away! Get away!"
Before the bombs could reach him, Wooden Kamui erected a wall of roots from the ground, protecting him from the explosions.
"That all?"
As Kamui began to mock his opponent, the villain swerved unnaturally, appearing behind the hero.
"Wha-"
Several explosions send the hero flying, about to crash into a wall.
"No!"
Before the hero could be smashed against the wall, Gohan had appeared, saving Kamui.
"Phew…"
Placing Kamui down, he turns toward the villain with a glare of determination. As he attempts to power up, he feels his ki rise, but not to where he would have expected it to be. His hair barely turns golden, before turning black again.
"I can't power up?! What's going on? Well, no time to think about that."
Giving up on powering up to Super Saiyan, he decides to settle on as much power as he can exert currently.
"HAAAH!"
With a shout, the debris around Gohan began to float, as the villain stared and drooled blankly.
"M-More…"
Pulling out a needle, the villain aggressively stabs it into his neck, his eyes rolling to the back of his head. Gohan was startled and watched as the villain's body began to grow, those bombs on his arms spreading to his entire body. As his body stopped convulsing, his tongue sprang out of his mouth, pitch black.
"What the hell?!"
The man burst forward, punching Gohan back.
"Gah!"
Quickly catching himself, he blocks another punch from the villain. With a kick, he knocks the air out of his opponent, before spinning and kicking him again in the face.
"Nrgh!"
"He's tough! Or am I weak?"
Flipping in the air, Gohan sticks his landing, taking on his fighting stance.
"Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop it!"
The villain, clearly damaged splutters out cries of pain, before lobbing more explosives, deciding in his rage that ranged attacks were better. Unfortunately, he thought wrong, as Gohan easily sends out small ki blasts to match his bombs.
"N-Nnnn!"
"This is it!"
Gohan charged forward at speeds no one could match, elbowing the villain in the gut, and knocking him unconscious.
"I'm almost there!"
Hawks flew through the air as smoke came pouring from a hospital, visible from the air. He turned off his communicator, as he began to scan the area. There were panicking people, but none of them were hurt too badly, and the hospital seemed empty. Touching down, he used his feathers to keep people away from the burning hospital.
"Please keep away, I will investigate shortly."
Floating into the building, he saw right away, the unconscious body of two people. One was Wooden Kamui, and the other, a strange-looking thin man.
"That one matches the description!"
Carrying both in red cocoon-like feather constructs, he quickly exits the building.
"Hey!"
Before he could leave, Hawks' attention was taken by a shout.
"Must be someone in trouble. I'm over here!"
Barely stepping into the hospital, he is surprised to see a one-armed man, carrying at least 10 people himself.
"Has there been a one-armed hero before? And I don't recognize him… Maybe a new one."
"There's no more people in here. Let's move before the building collapses."
Using ki sense, Gohan saved 12 people from the rubble, but it hurt him to see the others who died.
"I'm sorry…"
He blinked away tears when he saw the nurse who was beside him when he woke up.
"I'm sorry..!"
Gohan clenched his teeth.
"If only…"
Hawks watched the man, still suspicious of him.
"Hey, uh…"
"Hm? Ah. It's Gohan."
"Yeah, Gohan, when'd you get into the professional business?"
"What? I'm not sure what you mean."
"..."
Hawks stared at Gohan incredulously.
"You saved a ton of people today, so I won't report your vigilantism. Next time, get a license."
"A-A license?"
Hawks sighed.
"You a hillbilly? A hero license. Anyway, I'm on a tight schedule. Gotta go. Seeya, Gohan."
"R-Right."
"A hero license? Strange. I've never heard of it…"
Gohan flew threw the sky, finding a suitable beach to stay in.
"Haha! I remember when Mr. Piccolo was teaching me. Can't believe I used to be such a spoiled brat."
Finding a nice spot in the sand, he lays down on his arm.
"...I hope Trunks is okay. Goodnight… Everyone."
Gohan's story is sooo sad :'(
