Author's Note: Finally you guys get an update from me. I know it's been a long time. Sorry I lost track on how to finish this fic. So I've been waiting to get the right idea. Finally it came to me!!! We're in the home stretch people only a few chapters to go. So please Read, Review, and Enjoy.
On with the show ;)
&nbs p; Gohan surrounded his arms within the familiar embrace of his Father. He sighed. This is what I have been striving for this moment. What ever happens after that damned Saijin wakes up it won't matter. All the fighting training, abandoning Mom and Goten everything I did or lost is worth this. He's back! He finally remembers. His ki is even being altered back to normal at this very moment. Gohan smiled through the silent embrace. Sensing with delight how his ki seemed to be thawing out or melting. Not giving off the sense of cold or ice which evil produced but warmth. He still was alarmed because there still seemed to be spots of hatred there. Which still were yet to be determined good or bad.
&nbs p; "I missed you so much." Gohan said softly his head resting on his Father's shoulder. He had grown a lot since the last time he saw his Father. Instead of reaching just to the middle of his thigh he now stood about two inches shorter. In a few years the boy would probably exceed his Father in stature.
&nbs p; The part-Saijin felt anxiety as he waited in a fretful silence.
"Me to. You've changed so much." Goku replied softly his teal eyes looking out into the distance. "You're so different. I must've have missed so much. I'm so sorry." Goku continued, the pure blooded Saijin's voice lowering as he went on.
&nbs p; "Dad it's not your…" Gohan started to say. Gohan didn't finish he suddenly jumped from out of his Father's arms. As both Piccolo and Goku yelled his name.
&nbs p; The demi-Saijin screamed from a pain that was coming from his right shoulder blade. Some crimson fell to the ground as he let out another hoarse cry. The pain was immense he was now sitting on his knees having his left arm grasp his right. Thinking if he grasped it tight enough then the pain wouldn't spread.
&nbs p; "A Saijin should never let down his guard." The Prince of Saijins lectured the boy laughing as a golden aura swished around him.
&nbs p; "What the hell are you doing Vegita!!! How???" Goku glared at the one he once obeyed.
&nbs p; "Kakkorott. I was just about to ask the same question. Hugging a hybrid. You should know that hybrids are forbidden. He must be destroyed. Since he's your spawn you also must be destroyed." The Prince said calmly with an unsettling shine of malice in his eyes.
&nbs p; "You…You…You just want…t to get rid of us so you can be immortal." Gohan said hoarsely forcing his voice so it was auditable concealing the more cries of pain he wanted to let free.
&nbs p; "Well at least now you know what the hell I'm doing and for. With you two gone I'll make my wish and become immortal then the ruler of this galaxy then soon the whole universe. You could even say a god. As before I am the one true Super Saijin the final evolutionary form of our race." The Prince continued.
&nbs p; "Really if you can tell all three of us with Saijin blood are Super Saijins." Gohan said gathering more of his strength and was now trying to stall. I need more time. Please just keep talking. I know where Piccolo was headed when he took off into the sky. While the pompous Saijin Prince divulged his plan Gohan's teacher had quietly flown away to get more senzu beans. We just have to keep him talking. Thinking that he can defeat us at anytime. I can't do anything until my arm is healed it's taking most of my reserve ki just to stay conscious. That attack he got me with. He was in the level beyond a Super Saijin. He got me when my ki was almost fully down. Damn. I should've learned not to let my guard down. But I just wanted one moment with my Father. Kami why do you torture me so? But that attack it seemed to be a ki blast. I felt the energy not a physical impact and the fabric of my gi got burnt. This attack is somehow different. It seems to be draining my energy. I don't know how long I can stay conscious, which makes fighting out of the question. Piccolo better return soon. Gohan thought as he listened to Vegita's ramblings of his death and the conquest of the universe.
"Ho w can you be the true Super Saijin when you achieved it after me. You think you defeated Freeza your highness. I hate to tell you that you're mistaken. That was me. Raditz altered your memory so you wouldn't do anything to him. Because you could never lay a finger on me." Goku informed his Prince.
&nbs p; A dark look over came the ascended Saijin. As if he was remembering something from a dream.
&nbs p; "You're right. Damn your fucking brother.' Vegita swore.
&nbs p; "I see the prince finally remembers. He must've have used an inferior memory replacing technique. It seems to be wearing off now that you can tell that It was I not you who defeated your oppressor. Of course who needs a heavy brain washing when the person has your kind of pride?" Goku said challengingly letting his Saijin attitude and blood lust take over.
&nbs p; Looks like he has changed a bit. That attitude I don't remember it. Was he always like that? Well living ten years as a Saijin must have some effect on his personality. Still. If he keeps pushing Vegita things could get messy. I'm getting weaker. Great now my sight is fading. Gohan got worried as his vision started to blur. The sharp images his Saijin heritage let him see were slowly fading to indistinct shapes and blurs. Piccolo should be at the Look Out by now. I think he stored two or three senzu beans away. Why is this wound burning so? As Gohan summoned ki to maintain his conscious state the wound burned the more ki he used. It seemed to be sucking it out of him.
&nbs p; "Well Kakkorott look at your little brat down there on the ground." Vegita said pointing to the still kneeling Gohan. Turning on his scouter. "The kid is using up all his ki to stay conscious. That attack I used on him is slowly draining him of his energy through that wound and it's being transferred to me. Look at your friends. Look at those other four idiots they succumbed to the same attack. I went so fast they didn't even sense me. The only reason the boy isn't out cold now is because of his Saijin blood it protects him somewhat from the ability. You want to know why you don't know it. That is because only my family the rulers of our race know it. No third class warrior like you could handle it or control the extra energy to your advantage. Your also probably wondering how I pulled the attack off in so little time. What you probably expected me to be down for a few moments. So you could have a Father Son moment with that little bastard hybrid. No, I couldn't allow that. I just used an technique I saw some of those Namekians use. They were able to regenerate their limbs I just used a similar energy wave and used it to renew my body and ki. I was so fast none of you could stop me." The Prince went on to explain.
~~
&nbs p;
Goku glared at the Prince with renewed anger. His ki flared as he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists in anger at the Prince. How dare that Saijin use his son's and friends' energy against him? He was to angry to notice that Piccolo had left. The Namekian had been forgotten minutes before, to the remaining Z fighters' advantage.
&nbs p; "Your so weak Vegita that you have to use other's energy to fight? O yes that is so an aspect that the true Super Saijin should have!" Goku said mockingly. When he gets angry he is more likely to make mistakes. If that happens I can use it to my advantage.
&nbs p; "You don't even understand Kakkorott!" Vegita yelled.
&nbs p; "At least I don't have to use other's energy. I have enough on my own." Goku said. Gohan please hold on. Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, and Chowsue you all do to. Wait where's Piccolo? The younger Pure Blooded Saijin thought gazing through his teal eyes and past his shimmering golden aura looking for his former enemy now newly acquired ally. He isn't here where could he be?
"Senzu." He heard what to be his son's low voice in his head. What? He went on to question. He looked over to his son on the ground. Ignoring Vegita who was now babbling in a rage of how he was a true Super Saijin and he wouldn't allow some low class warrior and his damn hybrid son come in the way of his goals.
&nbs p; Gohan sat motionlessly, still kneeling his left arm clenching with a life grip on his right arm. His eyes were forced shut and his mouth closed. It appeared he was trying to keep from screaming. His eyebrows arched down and his skin wrinkled where they came together. His clothes were ragged it barely resembled clothing anymore. He looked so vulnerable but still had a sense of power around him that would make any creature be cautious.
~~
&nbs p; The burning had increased. Gohan had to summon more ki to stay conscious and had to close his eyes to keep that effort going. He felt a blackness looming over him that would mean his, his families everyone's doom. Some how he started to seem and hear his Father's thoughts of where Piccolo had gone. Senzu.He replied in his head. Praying his Father would hear it. He was filled with relief when his Father's voice echoed the word what into his skull.
"Sen zu. He's getting Senzu beans. With this wound healed. We, I can take him. Just a few more moments, keep him occupied Dad." Gohan said in his head.
"Fine.But you have to hang in there Gohan. Remember I just got back. We can't have one of us leaving this planet yet alone this dimension just at this moment." Gohan let out a short yes and he felt his Father raise his ki slowly. Gohan copied that act by summoning more ki to battle from becoming unconscious. Hurry Piccolo. Gohan thought.
~~
&nbs p; Goku gathered enough of his ki to exceed that of the Prince's. His rage fueled the power to go higher and higher. He launched himself at the Prince who just laughed. The Prince's ki grew to match that of Goku's. He parried any blow Goku tried to land on him. The Prince let another laugh escape his lips as their forms tangled in a combining golden aura of energy. Blue sparks of what appeared to be pure power flew through the air madly. Dust swirled around and the rocks themselves trembled as the two mighty powers matched each other blow for blow.
&nbs p; "Kakkorott don't you know the more you push me the more energy I drain from your friends." The Prince yelled as he landed a blow on the younger Saijin's shoulder.
&nbs p; Goku just hovered in mid air. How can I fight to win if he can just drain their energy? If we keep at this rate it'll go down to their life forces and if those disappear they'll die. Here he comes again maybe if I just defend. The Prince came at him fist first; Goku blocked it with his forearm, and instinctively made a kick go into the Saijin's gut. Blood poured out his mouth as the last noble of the Saijin race hunched over in pain. Goku watched as he breathed heavily then saw the Prince renew his aura with new strength. His eyes shifted to his friends they all seemed to start to twist in pain. He clicked his scouter on quickly because he still was mastering his old talent of sensing ki himself along with his memories. He frowned as he saw all of their power levels drop as his adversary's grew. Nice defending. It's hard I'm to use to fighting not defending. What can I do? I should just dodge him. No, that wouldn't work he would steal more energy to go faster. I can't fight so; I guess I just take this beating until Piccolo comes back with the senzu beans. Goku focused more of his ki to harden his muscles against impacts and put more energy in his aura, which might help lessen the blows. He slowly inhaled as the older Saijin flew at him with horrible malice in his eyes. Goku felt the pain but focused on reorganizing his memories to keep his mind off it. Since the younger Saijin refused to fight or dodge he was like an attack dummy to the Prince that was now throwing the being around like a rag doll.
&nbs p; "Don't worry Kakkorott it'll all be over soon. I will finally be immortal and you'll be gone. Meaning I'm the only one and true Super Saijin. You have one weakness and that seems to be your compassion. Yes it was suppress from all that lovely brainwashing but with it gone. Now that fault has surfaced in your character again. Saijins are supposed to be heartless. Yet you have one. Making it impossible for you to be the true Super Saijin." Vegita lectured as he delivered a combination of kicks and punches to the unresisting body.
&nbs p; Goku just kept still trying to make his ki protect him from the unwanted impacts. Only a little more time soon enough Piccolo will be back.
~~
&nbs p; Gohan stayed kneeling focusing his ki to still stay conscious also half concentrating on the battle. Dad he's losing because he doesn't want Vegita to steal our ki down to the life force level. But how long can he handle that? Piccolo is almost here I can sense him. But he's not going to be here in time. That damn Prince is stealing most of the power from me. Maybe if I somehow get rid of it. Dad will be able to stop him with out the others being harmed. There's only one way to get rid of my ki though. Dad I this is the only thing I can do. The rest is up to you.
Goha n slowly disengaged his grip on his right shoulder. Then he stopped diverted the main stream of ki he was using to keep himself awake to his hand. The demi-Saijin's hand started to glow a soft blue. All I need is just enough to stop my body from functioning. This is the only way. He focused more and more. His senses were getting more blurred his hearing was distorted and he lost all track of the battle. Everything in his universe was the thin stream of ki being focused to his hand. A little more…just a little. There finally enough. Gohan then slowly moved his bloody arm to his chest right in front of where his heart would be. He squinted his eyes closer together as he got ready to shoot the blast.
"Noooo." Came a distorted scream. As Gohan felt him being knocked to the ground and his left arm pinned to the ground.
~~
&nbs p; Piccolo had sensed what his pupil had been trying to do. That damn kid he's trying to rid the Prince of the main source of power he's stealing from. That's the only source fueling him right now that pilfered energy. He seemed to forget mentioning that he could only master that technique from Namek to heal his body. It would only replenish his ki for about ten seconds. Enough to do that attack and steal enough of those other weaklings' ki so he could finish the job on Goku. There's no way to master a technique to replenish your power level completely by it's self. The replenishing must originate from another source. Piccolo sped up his journey to the battle scene with all he had. The Namekian had to arrive before his student could accomplish what he sought out to do.
&nbs p; Of course it took time to do what needed to be done. I had to absorb Kami's ability to heal injuries because there were only two senzu beans left. To stop that damn Prince of Monkeys all the ones he attacked had to be healed. Not half. When they're all healed he'll be defenseless. Thank the Kais that Kami got some information on that stupid Saijin's history and attacks. The former Guardian of that planet was very helpful telling him from Other World.
&nbs p; Piccolo had finally come upon the battlefield. The small ki ball in his pupil's hand was glowing brightly over his heart.
& nbsp; Got to hurry before it's too late he's about to do it. Piccolo went even faster and launched himself on his pupil sending him to the ground grasping fiercely his left arm. Gohan opened his coal eyes. They shone with a light of panic and confusion. Piccolo glared down at his student and gave him a reassuring look. Gohan slowly closed his eyes and the ki ball in his left hand slowly disappeared. The Namekian then put his hands on the boy's bloody right shoulder. The wound almost seemed to give off a purplish light. The Namekian countered it with an ivory one that his hands now emitted. He felt as the muscle and tissue in his student's body heal. Then finally felt the strange signal the purplish light was giving off disappear.
&nbs p; Piccolo when finished quickly stood up. Knowing his student now knew what to do. Continued striding to the other afflicted that still lay on the ground.
~~
&nbs p; Gohan being healed stood up with a new out look. He stood up easily now that the pain was gone. Time to finish this. He thought.
