"W-Wait, is that really you?" I asked as I began to slow down, my eyes widening as I heard Dad's chuckles along with another voice speaking up.

"It's us, buddy. It's good to hear you're still alive & kicking." Krillin's voice echoed in my mind and I was stunned still before I shook my head.

"W-Wait! Wait, how long have you guys been with King Kai?"

"Oh! Uh, about ten years now. Sadly, I couldn't get to keep my body, but King Kai has been training the other guys on how to-!"

"…So, you're saying that for the past decade, none of you thought it would be a good idea to let me know?" I asked as I felt the sparks of anger forming in my chest, doing my damned best to not make my ki fluctuate above its suppressed level as Dad gave a sheepish chuckle.

"Uh, kind of, yeah. I mean, we're not actually allowed to talk to the living according to King Kai unless they contact us first. Right, King Kai?"

"No, I said your friends are not allowed to talk to the living since I don't want them influencing the world outside. You on the other hand are free to do so since you died a natural death and can't be brought back by the Dragon Balls anymore."

"Dad, be honest with me. Did…did you even think of us over the past decade?"

"Honestly, he's been more busy trying to get King Yemma's Ensenji fruit from down in Hell's entrance to try & get his body back for more training." Yamcha spoke up before I heard everyone shushing him to be quiet and I gritted my teeth while taking deep breaths to calm myself down.

"Please tell me that Yamcha is just making that up. Please tell me that you didn't use these past ten years to try & get your body back for more training instead of calling your grieving wife & your son that was busy fighting life & death battles every day. You didn't, right Dad?"

"Gohan…let me exp-!"

"No, no. You're not going to explain shit! Are you fucking kidding me?! Dad, I've been fighting for my goddamn life for the past thirteen years! Thirteen years of fighting every two to three days from the time that I was fucking 10 or 11! Who even fucking knows?! I can barely even remember how old I am, because I didn't have the courtesy of celebrating birthdays! No, my birthdays were fighting two homicidal robots who thought it would be funny to leave me bruised with broken bones so that I couldn't feel happiness."

"I understand, Gohan! I do, but let me explain so you can understand!"

"You wanna know what the fucked up part is? You could have killed Dr. Gero when you destroyed the Red Ribbon Army and the Earth would have been the same after all these years, but no~ You wanted to see if the army could be redeemed to save humanity! Instead, you died and left your fucking son to clean up your mess!" I roared and I could feel the power surge of Super Saiyan wanting to be let free, but I forced it back with gritted teeth as my vision began to spin.

"I never even wanted to fight or train or anything like that! Reading books brought me joy and studying was amazing for me! However, you! You decided that it would be better to spend time training with your son instead of just hanging out with him! So no, Goku, I'm not going to listen to whatever shitty story you're cooking up! King Kai, cut the connection!"

"Will do."

"Wait, Goh-!" The connection cut off before Goku could continue talking and I gritted my teeth as I saw flashes of gold racing through the white aura around my body as I tried to calm myself down.

'I so desperately want to think about his words and I want to hear what his explanation was, but after being tortured for years on end by those robots, I just couldn't...I couldn't...'

"FUCK!" I roared as I spun & threw a large ki orb into the distance, watching as it exploded into a pillar of golden light before cursing myself at my impulsiveness.

Quickly suppressing my ki before diving deep into the ground with a grunt, I tilted my body once I was almost a couple dozen kilometers under ground and flying directly through the rock & towards the direction in which I remember Mount Paozu being.

'I know people used to make fun of Goku for not being a good husband or father, but I need to vent some anger or else I'm going to blow up a planet right now.'I growled as I rocketed through the air, trying my best to calm my anger as I caught sight of a giant figure standing outside a dome-like house with two wooden buildings connected to one of the sides & the back.

"Gohan!" Grandpa waved with a happy smile as he caught sight of me before I sighed as I saw his eyes widening in shock & horror at my left sleeve flapping in the wind.

"…Oh, she's going to kill you."

"It's good to see you're still okay." I said while ignoring his last comment, to which he blinked before chuckling as he nodded and walked forward.

I grunted as the man wrapped me in a tight hug, picking me up & swaying side to side while I chuckled & patted his back.

"Great to see you too, Gramps. Now could you please put me down before I break a few ribs too?" I asked before grunting as I got dropped back down on the ground, Ox-King chuckling as he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Hahaha! Apologies, my dear boy. I just felt overjoyed to see you being okay. Well, not okay, but I mean…it's better than being dead, right?"

"Right. So, is she in the kitchen like usual?" I asked before frowning as he sighed & scratched the back of his head.

"No, in the bedroom. She's now just lying in bed while looking at the family photo album."

"It's that bad, huh?" I asked before wincing as he gave a sad smile and nodded.

"It's that bad. Hopefully, you can do something. I'll be heading over to the mountain to get dinner for tonight."

"Uh, I'd rather you stay here. Let's just say that the Androids are looking for a way to hurt me after they failed to kill me and that means hurting those around me." I answered and he blinked before giving a slow nod as we turned & walked back into the home.

As I opened it, I could feel the depressed & sad atmosphere in the home as soon as I entered, Gramps walking to sit down on one of the couches while I frowned as I slowly made my way to where I could feel Mom's ki behind the door.

Knocking softly on it, I walked in and felt my heart ache at the sight of my mom sitting on the edge of their bed and crying with a smile while slowly rubbing her fingers over what seemed to be the wedding photos, her gaze flickering up to me before her eyes widened as I smiled & walked over.

"Hi, mom. How are you?" I whispered as I knelt down in front of her, slowly taking the album & placing it on the bed besides her as she reached up and caressed my face.

"Are…are you really here?"

"I'm really here, mom. I'm so sorry I've been neglecting you and leaving you to deal with your pain on your own."

"My…my baby is actually here?" She whispered and I could feel the tears brimming in my eyes as a sob escaped her lips, Mom reaching forward & wrapping me in a tight hug as her sobs were muffled by my shoulder.

In response, I smiled & nodded while hugging her back with my one arm as well, softly rubbing her back as she tightened her grip.

"My baby is okay."

"I am, Mom. Your baby is home."

"Is she okay?" Gramps asked as I walked out before catching sight of me carrying Mom in a fireman's carry, a serene & calm expression on her face that was a far cry from the depressed face she had before.

"She fell asleep but she looks a lot happier."

"And the arm?" He asked and I chuckled & shook my head.

"Didn't even seem to care about it. She was just happy I was back."

"Oh, well. Then you better get ready for when the joy of you being back disappears and she finally notices her baby missing an arm." He said and I snorted & nodded in agreement.

"Oh, I am. However, I'll have to deal with that when it happens. For now, we need to get out of here. Gramps, ever gotten a piggyback?"

"Nope, but it sounds fu-!" Before he could finish his sentence, our eyes widened as a monstrous explosion echoed far in the background, a cold chill racing through my body as an eerie familiar voice shouted in the distance.

"Gohan! Either you come out right now or we're blowing this entire landscape sky high!" Android #17's voice echoed in the air and memories of all the torture I suffered from him & his sister's flashed in my eyes before I forced them back & shook my head.

"Gramps, on my back now!" I quickly ordered as I crouched slightly to let him before grunting as the giant man climbed onto my back while thankfully grabbing Mom & placing her in between us with her head over my shoulder.

"Okay, now what?!" He asked and my brows furrowed with concentration as ki began to escape from my body, gritting my teeth as I focused it into an oval shape around me before grinning as the solid ki barrier finally formed around us.

'With how everyone focuses only on the power aspect of ki, I keep forgetting how insanely full of hax it really is.' I thought with a smirk as I floated up slightly while securing my grip on Gramps' legs before diving head first into the ground, making sure this time to collapse the tunnel behind me as I went before spinning & flying in the opposite direction of West City.

However, I could feel the explosions still rumbling through the solid ground and frowned before I nodded & felt sweat forming on my forehead as I pulled the ki even closer to our forms until it stuck to us like a bodysuit while also suppressing my own ki as best as I could.

"Gramps, hold on!" I shouted before rapidly spinning like a drill through the ground, sending out sharp & concentrated ki blasts shaped like drills that bore through the ground far away from us before exploding far into the distance.

"G-Gohan…w-we…can't…bre…breathe…" Gramps gasped out and my eyes widened as I remembered that humans are not capable of keeping their breath for as long as we Saiyans/ Saiyan-hybrids could, quickly tilting my body upwards diagonally before smiling in relief as Gramps took a deep breath.

Looking at Mom's face over my shoulder, I was pleased to see her breathing normally now as well before I took a quick glance behind us and smirked at the sight of the large explosions in the far distance.

'That should keep them busy for a while. Now, it's time to get Bulma & Trunks and then we go for a new hiding spot.' I thought with a frown as I accelerated slightly, already having a location in mind as I made my way back to West City in a wide arc.

After all, it's a place no one would expect us to be in.

Flying low through the ruined city that was West City was quite the experience as I finally paid attention the destruction the two Androids left across the planet, watching as people ran from building to building in search of scraps before shaking my head as I landed right outside the front door of Capsule Corp.

However, as we walked through the main door, I stopped Gramps from walking forward while tapping the touch screen on the panel besides us, railings appearing around us from the ground & taking the shape of an elevator before it sunk into the ground as extra panels closed up the opening above us.

"Woah, how long has Bulma been busy with this?" Gramps asked as the elevator continued to descend while he adjusted his grip on Mom as he had switched to a bridal carry, to which I shrugged as I watched the lights flash past.

"About seven or so years ago after the Androids attacked the Corps & killed her parents. She then made this underground housing unit to hide away and it's equipped with a working garden, plumbing and livestock." I explained as we finally reached the bottom, waiting until the doors opened before we walked out.

"Hey, glad to see you're ba-Did something happen?" Bulma asked with a concerned look as soon as she saw Mom in Gramps' arms, to which I smiled & shook my head.

"The Androids attacked us, but she's was already passed out from happiness & joy before then." I answered, to which she gave a relieved sigh before smiling & turning to Gramps, who was busy looking around with a grin.

"Well, it's good to see you're still in good health, Ox King."

"Hahaha! The same to you, Bulma! It's been years since we last saw each other." Gramps spoke with a smile and she nodded before blinking as I gestured to my sleeping mom with a nod.

"Ah, sorry about that! You guys can rest in any of the homes." She said while gesturing towards the many dome-shaped homes behind her, to which I smiled & nodded before taking Mom onto my shoulders once more, walking over to the closest one before blinking as I remembered something.

"Uh, where's Trunks?"

"Oh, sleeping. He got too excited about training with you and may have been out from hyperventilating."

"…Seriously?" I asked with a raised eyebrow, watching as she giggled & nodded before shaking my head as I continued walking towards the home.

First, get Mom to sleep. Then…

It's time to start with Project GT.

"Wait, so you're telling me that Goku, goofy & loving Goku, wanted to figure out how to train more instead of contacting his family?" Bulma asked with an incredulous look, groaning as I nodded with a frown before turning to be surprised by Mom giggling.

"Yep, that's sounds like him."

"…That's it? You're…you're not mad?" I asked, a slight sense of irritation & disappointment appearing out of nowhere in my body and Mom must have noticed it as she stood up from where she was seated & walked over to grasp my face.

"Sweetheart, did you honestly believe I married your father because he's a good man?"

"…Not really, but that's what you told me when I was younger, wasn't it?" I answered/ asked, to which she rolled her eyes as Bulma giggled.

"That was a lie, Gohan. Honestly, your father & I married each other on a whim and I knew what I was getting into when the guy that's marrying asked me whether or not sex is something he can eat."

"I mean, technically~" Bulma trailed off with a sly grin, making me groan along with Gramps & Trunks as I gagged.

"No, don't go further with that thought. I don't want to hear about whatever…you two got up to." I begged and Mom giggled & nodded.

"Of course. Now, like I was saying, I kind of expected that he would be trying something like that because your father was never one to stand still."

"Well, wasn't there a process where he should have reincarnated or something?"

"Considering that nearly 95% of the planet is dead and everyone still alive are trying to best to survive instead of making a kid, that is kind of a stupid question to ask and King Yemma is probably still busy trying to deal with every thousand souls or so that comes through on a daily basis thanks to those machines raging across the world."

"…That's true. So, what? I'm just supposed to forgive him?" I asked and frowned slightly as she smiled & shook her head.

"No, of course not. If your father had killed Gero, then none of this would have happened and you would not need to fight the Androids for the past thirteen years. However, what I am asking you to do is see his side and see if you can't find it in yourself to at least forgive him. Forgive but do not forget, you know?" She said with a shrug and I looked at her before shaking my head with a sigh

"…No. I don't think I can. I don't even think I can be in the same room as him right now without trying to rip his soul apart, especially after Trunks & I nearly died trying to escape the Androids."

"That…is kinda true." Trunks said with an uncertain smile and Bulma shrugged as Mom looked at her before I sighed as I saw the pleading look in her eyes.

"How about this? I won't shout at him again for thinking about himself only. How does that sound?"

"Is that the best I'm going to get?" She asked before sighing as I shrugged & nodded.

"Yeah, probably."

"Hah, fine. I'll take what I can get. Now, why don't you ask him for some training methods? Then, you go & kick those Androids' butts and then we can finally start on restoring the planet to how it used to be."

"So, you're okay…with me fighting?" I asked with a confused/ cautious look, the others looking just as cautious yet surprised as I was as Mom rolled her eyes & nodded while crossing her arms.

"I am. While I would love nothing more to keep you out of battle especially with you missing an arm, which I'm still mad about, you are also the only capable fighter we have. No offence, Trunks, but you are too weak to actually make a difference."

"…Is she usually this blunt & ruthless?" Trunks whispered to his mom, making Gramps & I smirk as Mom rolled her eyes.

"Believe me, she's being nice."

"Anyway, like I was saying, we're going to take this planet back and to do so, we need you as strong as possible." She answered and I looked at her in surprise before surprising her as I reached forward & hugged her.

"Have I ever told you you're the best mom a Saiyan could ask for?"

"You could mention it a few more times." She said with an amused smile, making me chuckle as I nodded before turning to the rest of the group.

"Well, if we're going to try & get as strong as possible, I'm going to have to check out a few more spots as well to see if we can still use them."

"Such as?" Bulma asked before blinking as I turned to her with a knowing smirk.

"Such as you guys asking King Kai if he can locate where Planet Namek is located now. That way…"

"We could go there and wish back Piccolo & Kami, which would then bring back our Dragon Balls, so we can use them to wish to restore the planet back to how it was before the whole Android affair!" Bulma exclaimed as her eyes widened along with everyone else's while I smirked & nodded.

"Precisely. However, for you all to get off-planet, someone is going to have to distract the Androids at that time."

"…We are not sacrificing you to be killed off." Mom spoke with a frown and I smiled & shook my head.

"What other option is there? The Androids would shoot the spaceship down before it could even leave the stratosphere. At least this way, you all would get to Namek & get the Dragon Balls, so we can restore Earth to how it was."

"And what are you going to do if we do manage to get off?"

"Try to fight them with all my strength and if that doesn't work…I'm blowing the planet to kingdom come. That way, I can be sure no one would survive even if it means giving my own life to do so." I answered with a shrug, Mom staring at me before groaning as she put her head in her palms.

"Oh, maybe I should just retract my statement and force you to stay on the sidelines."

"I'm going to fight too." Trunks spoke with a determined look and we all looked at him before he blinked as I snorted & both Mom & Chichi shook their heads.

"You are not fighting, especially since Gohan's plans are mostly suicidal and I'm not going to lose my son. Nope, not at all."

"But it's okay for him?!" He exclaimed while pointing at me before frowning as I walked over & placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I know you want to help, but this is only a last case scenario and both of our families are going to need someone strong to protect them on the journey towards Namek in case something bad happens."

"Like what? Space pirates?"

"Frieza could still have men out trying to revive him or kill us in revenge for their lord, so yes, space pirates, space mercenaries or anything evil that can be in space. You have to be on the lookout for all of them."

"…Urgh, fine~ But if I see it's going bad, I'm-"

"Free to come help." I cut him off, making him huff before I smirked & turned to Bulma.

"Now, I need you to start building me not just a gravity chamber but a pair of jumbo size pliers and a chain strong enough to stop a Super Saiyan."

"And why would I need to do that?" Bulma asked with a raised eyebrow before her eyes widened as I grinned and pointed at my lower back with my right thumb.

"Because we're going to use them to pull out my tail and give me access to the Oozaru form again."

"…Excuse me…WHAT?!"

A/N: You thought you had to wait until Friday, didn't you?! Haha, nah, I had already written a chapter so I decided to just post this one.

Also, don't worry, there is still going to be a chapter this week along with this one. I'm just in a mood to write Dragon Ball right now. Next week is probably going to be one of the other ones getting extra chapters or something.

Anyway, Gohan has made a few plans to get some quick power(As suggested by dear ol' John in the $7 tier) and had a bit of a rage at his dad. The rage was both the Gohan side who was pissed at his dad for not helping him fight against the robot & the SI side that was disappointed to see that Goku cared more about training than his own family, just like in Super.

Basically, the start of the chapter was mostly my childhood side venting out a bit just to get rid of some of that anger.

Anyway, check out my Pat-reon-.-com-/-KingCrimsonNova to read seven chapters ahead on this as well as many other stories that may peak your interest. If you want to, you are free to, but if you don't want, all's good as I will still be uploading here. This is just me trying to get some extra cash.

As always, read, enjoy, review and until the next one...

Ba-Bye~!
