Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Loss and Power ❯ A Sayajin's Rage ( Chapter 2 )

A Sayajin's Rage

 

 

The wind blew hard against my skin as I stood in front of my child hood friend and mentor. Dende and Piccolo stood before me. Their eyes down cast and saddened. I knew the news they had for me was not one I was going to like, but I still needed to know.

 

“What happened to them Dende? Where are they?” I said a little firmer than I should have.

 

“Your mother is dead.”

 

The words hit me harder than anything ever could. I felt like a huge chunk of my soul was just ripped from my body and vaporized before my eyes.

 

“And Goten?” I asked knowing that he was probably dead as well.

 

“I don't know. I don't know how, but whoever has him is hiding his presence from me.”

 

I fell to my knees a broken man. In one foul swoop I had lost my family. I was truly alone. I no longer had anyone in this world that was family. The Briefs would take me in without hesitation but it wouldn't be the same. I let out an earth-shattering scream that was heard around the world. Into that one scream I poured all of my pain, my anger and my sorrow. Before I knew it I was super Sayajin 2. I didn't stop though. I couldn't stop. I felt another mental barrier, similar to the one I broke in the Cell games, break. With a sudden surge of power my body underwent some drastic changes.

 

I was no longer wearing my usual school uniform. I stood there in a pitch-black vest with red trim, leaving most of my chest exposed. I had black pants with a red flame design coming from the cuffs with Sayajin black boots with blood red tips. My hair was no longer gold but a deep red. My eyes no longer existed. Instead of eyes my sockets glowed with deep crimson and black fire that seemed to burn in an infinite space inside of my head. My muscles had doubled again from the super Sayajin 2 transformation. I had also re-grown my tail, which was also a deep red color. (If you've ever seen a picture of Hyper X Gotenks, he looks somewhat like that.)

 

This new transformation unleashed enough power that not only was there a crater around me but the entire courtyard of the lookout was destroyed. All I felt was hatred and power running trough my veins. An evil smirk was on my face as I floated in midair where part of Kami's lookout should have been. I looked around and somehow I knew where Goten was. Within microseconds I was inside of a densely packed warehouse where I sensed my brothers ki was at. Not caring about anything that might have been in here I powered up and started shooting ki balls at anything that got in my way, vaporizing it instantly. Apparently my entrance had not gone unnoticed as guards started to surround me holding guns and other various weapons.

 

“If one of you tells me where to find my brother I will kill you quickly, but know this all of you are going to die.” I said in what sounded like a demonic type of voice. (Similar to the voices produced by a fusion.)

 

No one moved. I could tell that they each were scared of me. I could smell the fear in the air, and it only served to excite me more. Before anyone could react I was taking people out left and right. Taking out these weaklings wasn't much of a challenge for me as most were scared stiff. As I vaporized the bodies of those I had just taken out. I turned to go trough a set of double doors in the back of the warehouse. Behind a thick desk was a rather large man wearing a tailored business suit. To his left sat two chairs. In one of the chairs sat my brother's unconscious and tied up form. In the other was my mother's dead body. Upon seeing my mother's body I lost control. My eyes no longer were black and red flames they were just red now. An aura of death black was now circling my body as my fists were shrouded by pure white fire.

 

The large man stood up and wandered over to where my brother was tied up. I watched him with pure hatred. I knew that he had to know what I was for he wasn't shocked by my transformation and the addition of my tail.

 

“You're here earlier than I expected.” He said flatly.

 

“Who are you?” I said harshly. Anger was dripping from my voices as I spoke.

 

“I am the one person who knows what you are truly capable of.” He said as he stopped in front of my brother and raised his limp head slightly.

 

“You touch him again and you die very slowly. Now back away from my brother!”

 

“Now is that any way to talk to your uncle?”

 

I stood there shocked at the sudden revealing of the identity of the man before me. He was indeed my uncle Radditz. His hair had been cut to resemble an overgrown business cut.

 

“My uncle or not if you don't leave him alone right now I will kill you.” I said with malice in my voice.

 

“HMPH I see you have embraced your Sayajin heritage. Maybe I should have taken you all those years ago and left Kakkorot here on this pathetic planet.” Radditz said with a smile on his face. He didn't move away from Goten but didn't move to touch Goten again either.

 

I started to walk toward my mother's lifeless body. My rage was building within me. Upon reaching her body I took note that she had no marks on her save for a bruise on the back of her neck, probably from the knockout blow. There was no indication as to what killed her, at least that I could see.

 

My rage finally came to a point that I couldn't contain it any more. He kidnapped my family and killed my mother. HE'S A DEAD MAN!!! Faster than anyone save for myself could see I punched Radditz in the stomach with so much force that it not only sent him through the wall but through every building that was unlucky enough to be built along the fifteen mile path that he was knocked in.

 

Not giving him a chance to even realize that he had been hit I appeared above him and hammered him into the ground and followed with hundreds of energy blasts that would have caused a normal human to cease to exist. (Matter cannot be normally made or destroyed but these blasts can destroy matter if the matter is weak enough) I finally stopped to admire my handy work only to get sucker punched in the stomach by a now super Sayajin Radditz.

 

“I'm impressed you have really improved over the years. But that's not going to be enough to beat me.” He said as he started to power up.

 

“Can it.” I said not caring. Even with his now powered up state he was no match for me.

 

Apparently my raised power level and the earth shaking had alerted the other Z fighters as they started arriving and starred at me in my new form. Krillen and Yamcha were the first to arrive. Then came Piccolo, Tien, and Chiaotzu. Finally the prince of all Sayajins arrived and couldn't believe the sight in front of him.

 

“G-Gohan?” Krillen said not knowing whether he wanted it to be me or not.

 

“Yes Krillen it's me.” I said. My voice startled everyone there except for Radditz.

 

“Brat what happened to you? Why do you look like you just went through a fusion with the devil himself?” Vegeta asked wanting to know if he could attain this level of power.

 

“You don't want to know how Vegeta. I didn't want to know but it wasn't my choice was it Radditz?”

 

Everyone's jaws hit the floor as I said his name. I could see the looks of disbelief on their faces as the truth slowly sank in. A slightly bloody and bruised Radditz stood before us laughing at the expressions on everyone's faces, including Vegeta's.

 

“Oh this is priceless. The prince of all Sayajins speechless.” He said between laughs.

 

I had had just enough of this from him. Here was my mother's killer and my brothers kidnapper laughing like he's at some bar telling stories. Without thinking I tore into him like he was nothing more than a punching bag hanging in a gym. A flurry of punches to the midsection and a few kicks to the head later I was using him as a hacky sack across a thirty square mile area. getting tired of playing with him I kicked him into the ground and started gathering energy for a new special attack.

 

Vegeta and the others were hard pressed to keep up with my movements but were shocked at the sight of me charging a blast that not only would kill Radditz but also would wipe him out of existence, even destroying his soul.

 

“DEMONIC RAGE” I shouted as I released a black energy wave at the crater that Radditz lay unconscious in. as the wave hit I could feel his soul being torn apart. Instead of a huge explosion the energy wave opened a small gravity well and disappeared leaving no trace of it or Radditz.

 

Not powering down I flew back to the warehouse that Goten and my mother's body was still in. luckily for me Goten was still knocked out. I quickly cut the chains that held him to the chair and slung him over one shoulder and my mother's body over the other. I flew back to my home and laid Goten in his bed and took my mothers body to what remained of the lookout. I reached the lookout in no time and laid her body at the steps of the building and finally powered down from the demonic looking state that he was in.

 

His clothes turned back into his school uniform his eyes came back into existence and his hair turned back into its usual obsidian. My tail remained so I tucked it around my waist. I turned and flew towards capsule corp. to pick up the dragon radar. Landing in the front yard I was met by the entire Briefs family. I could tell that Bulma wasn't happy with my behavior during my battle with Radditz. Vegeta stood in a casual yet defensive stance. If I so much as made a move towards him or Bulma he would be ready to defend her in an instant.

 

“You can relax Vegeta I'm not here to hurt you or Bulma.” I said moving my hands out to my side with palms facing him in a show of pacifism.

 

“Gohan is it true that you completely killed Radditz?” Bulma asked with disbelief in her voice.

 

I couldn't bring myself to say anything. I was ashamed at my actions. I wanted revenge for my mother but I didn't mean to take it that far. My only response was starring at the ground at my feet.

 

“What will Chi chi think about this Gohan?” I winced at the mention of my mother's name.

 

“I wont know until I get the dragon balls.” I said with anguish in my voice.

 

“Why would you need… oh Gohan I'm so sorry. I didn't know.” She stepped forward to try and comfort me but I stepped away slightly from her. I could feel Vegeta's stance change from one of combat readiness to one of just being there. He knew why I went off on Radditz and now respected me for it, though he would never show it.

 

“Can I borrow the Dragon Radar for a while? I'll be sure to return it when I'm done.” I asked not looking up from the ground at my feet.

 

“Sure let me go get it.” Bulma said turning around and running into the house leaving Vegeta and I standing there.

 

“What was that level you were at a few minutes ago? I've never seen anything like that.”

 

“I don't know what to call it but it's a level where my anger and rage surpassed the power I had. I had no rational thought other than get revenge. I hope I never hit that level again, and I hope you never have to.” I said with pain in my voice. Tears started to form in my eyes, as I thought about my mother dead. I didn't have time to let the tears fall before Bulma came back with the Dragon Radar.

 

“Thanks Bulma. Tell the gang to meet me at what's left of the lookout at sunset. Ok?” I asked as I took the radar she offered me.

 

“Sure, but what do you mean, “What's left of the lookout”? I thought your battle with Radditz took place in the industrial district. How did the lookout get damaged?” she asked with a confused look on her face.

 

“I was at the lookout when I transformed and the energy I released destroyed the courtyard area of the lookout.” I said sheepishly.

 

Vegeta and Bulma's jaws dropped. It was thought that the lookout was indestructible. I started scratching the back of my head as I gave them the famous Goku smile. I came back to reality and flew off on my quest for the dragon balls. Not much of a challenge there. Different creatures guarded two of the balls but they didn't really cause me much trouble. Within a few hours I had all of the dragon balls and was on my way back to the lookout when I remembered Goten at home.

 

I no sooner had landed in front of the house than Goten came running from the house crying his eyes out. He jumped into my arms and proceeded to cry into my chest, he knew that mom was dead. He finally stopped crying but still held onto me like his life depended on it.

 

“I've collected the dragon balls, Goten. I'm going to wish mom back to life.”

 

At these words he perked up and started to smile.

 

“Come on squirt lets get to the lookout and wish mom back.” I said turning towards the lookout and blasted off towards it with Goten still clinging to my chest.

 

I landed on the lookout and saw that the other Z fighters had been brought up to speed on what had happened. They didn't look at me as though they feared me. They looked at me as though they pitied my brother and me. I was relieved to find that Dende and Mr. Popo weren't harmed by my transformation. I set Goten on the ground and examined the damage I caused the lookout. I felt a hand rest on my shoulder as I started walking towards an open area of the lookout. I turned to see piccolo standing there with concern in his eyes. I moved my hand on top of his to let him know I was ok. He removed his hand but kept the concerned look. Looking around at the people that were there I took roll so to speak. Tien, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, Piccolo, Vegeta, Bulma, trunks,

 

Finding an adequate spot to summon the dragon I set the dragon balls on the ground and we all gathered around them.

 

“Arise, Shenron!” I shouted with authority in my voice.

 

The sky grew black and a few flashes of lightning danced across the sky. The dragon balls started to glow. With a sudden eruption the glow shot out of the dragon balls and twisted and turned into the writhing form of a Japanese dragon.

 

“Why have you summoned me? Speak your wishes so I may go back to my slumber.”

 

“Shenron I wish that the damage done to the lookout be repaired.”

 

The dragon's eyes glowed as he said, “Your wish has been granted. What is your second wish?” no sooner had he said the words than the courtyard of the lookout started to regrow itself.

 

“I wish that my mother be brought back to life.”

 

The dragon's eyes again began to glow.

 

“Your wish …”
