#It’s okay to say Piccolo is Gohan’s dad I promise Goku would agree and be grateful that Gohan has Piccolo too

[shannonsketches]

I read some tags implying that my Piccolo is Gohan’s Real Dad is a hater statement but listen I never said Goku wasn’t Gohan’s real dad. Some boys have two real dads and an ex-military uncle with a shady past who lets you drink at his house as long as you don’t tell your mom, and that’s okay.

A Gohan x Videl Fanfiction

SOUTHERN CONTINENT

Gohan and Videl were able to follow Kibito, who explained everything about the magician Bibidi and the evil Majin Buu he created, and also Bibidi's son, Babidi who lived to continue Bibidi's plan of dominating the whole universe.

KIBITO: We need to fly faster for us to catch up to them.

GOHAN: Okay... Videl?

VIDEL: Gohan, I can't go on further. I think I'll just go back.

GOHAN: Okay, but be careful. And, can you please tell my mom and Goten and the others of what is happening?

VIDEL: I will... but first, I want you to be honest with me.

GOHAN: Huh?

VIDEL: You're the Golden Fighter, right?

GOHAN: … Yes, I am...

VIDEL: And back at the Cell Games, the small kid that was with the other fighters, it was you. Right?

GOHAN: ... Yes.

VIDEL: And it's not my dad who beat Cell. It was one of your friends... your dad maybe?

GOHAN: W-Well...

VIDEL: I knew it! I should be a detective someday, don't you think?

GOHAN: Yeah... maybe.

VIDEL: You have to tell me more about what happened when this is over. Promise me that.

GOHAN: I promise.

Videl stops flying. Gohan stops as well. Kibito continues, but with the same pace.

VIDEL: Gohan, promise me that you'll come back safe and in one piece, okay?

GOHAN: I promise.

Videl looks at him, making Gohan quite uncomfortable. But for some reasons, he cannot look away. He likes looking at her like that, like he was coming through inside her soul, like she is coming through inside his heart.

VIDEL: It's okay, Gohan, to be different, to be not like everyone else. It's weird, but it's cool... And I like different...

Videl blushes as her heart beats faster because of her confession. Gohan is just staring at her, and she can't look back at him anymore.

VIDEL: I'm going now. And after all these, I hope... I hope we could train again and... probably do other things as well...

She tries to look back at him once again, before she bids her goodbye.

VIDEL: Goodbye, Gohan... See you...

She was about to fly away when Gohan called her.

GOHAN: Videl!

She turns to face him again.

GOHAN: When I come back, we'll talk. I'll tell you everything you want to know about me. I promise.

Videl smiles and nods. Gohan flies away, faster than he was when he was flying with Videl.

VIDEL: He's so fast. I know I'll just hold him back.

Gohan's figure fades away, but Videl kept on staring for a few more moments.

VIDEL: Saving the world again, huh... How dangerous has your life been, Gohan? Who would have thought that the goofy classmate of mine is the real savior of the world?

She smiles.

VIDEL: Gohan, you better come back alive. 'Cause if you do, then maybe I will consider dating you for real.

She flies back to Papaya Island.

Meanwhile, Gohan was able to catch up with Kibito. The two fly faster and were able to catch up with Goku and the others.

GOHAN: Dad!

GOKU: Hey!

The group continues to follow Spopovich and Yamu, until the two seems to have reached their destination.

KIBITO: This is odd. We've already checked this location before but found nothing.

The group stops and hid at a rock formation near the spot where Spopovich and Yamu stopped. The two waits outside a weird-looking facility that looks like a mollusk shell with the letter M on the facade. It seems to be planted to the ground.

PICCOLO: Let's lower our ki.

A guy goes out of the facility, talks to Yamu and Spopovich. He kind of looks like Freeza's second form, but is leaner and shorter. He's wearing a black jumpsuit and white armored chest plate.

GOKU: Is that Babidi?

SHIN: No.

GOHAN: The ground around the ship seems like it's been dug up.

KIBITO: He hid his sheep on the ground! That is why we couldn't find him!

SHIN: That just means one thing. He knows we're here on Earth!

PICCOLO: Why don't we attack right now before they use the energy to resurrect Majin Buu?

SHIN: They won't revive him underground, or else he will destroy the ship. Let's wait a little longer.

Gohan looks around the place. He sees some dead people who seems like their energy was drained. He suddenly feels enraged.

GOHAN: (on his mind) Are these their victims, too? How horrible these monsters are!

PICCOLO: Something's coming out.

On the ship comes two individuals - a small alien-looking guy and a demon-looking dude. Upon seeing them, Kibito and Shin are shocked.

SHIN: That's...

KIBITO: Unbelievable! Babidi has possessed Dabura!

SHIN: I didn't know he was capable of controlling him.

GOKU: Can you explain who those two are?

SHIN: The smaller one is Babidi, and the taller one is Dabura, the King of Evil.

GOKU: He seems like a strong one.

SHIN: Definitely. He is the strongest in the Universe of Evil.

KRILLIN: That sounds like a very horrible place. That means this Dabura guy is dangerous.

GOHAN: Supreme Kai, you said that Babidi is controlling Dabura?

SHIN: Babidi is not strong himself, so he uses his magic to control others and work for him. His magic powers are strong that he can control even the king of evilness.

PICCOLO: So he uses his magic to bend people to his will?

KIBITO: No. What he does is he manipulates the evil in a person's heart making them do what they have always wanted. Dabura is the perfect choice for that. That is also what he used to control Yamu and Spopovich.

GOKU: The power that they have, they can't control it because it was Babidi's.

KIBITO: Yes. If you're not pure of heart then he can control you and manipulate you into doing your deepest darkest desire.

SHIN: I did not expect Babidi to resort into Dabura. This cause a big twist in the plan.

VEGETA: Are you saying we won't win against them?

The Supreme Kai does not answer.

VEGETA: As if I'll lose to these two! I won't let them win over me and bring that Buu back into life.

GOKU: Krillin, go back now. This is more dangerous than I thought.

KRILLIN: That's right. I don't think I could be of help here anyway.

Babidi took the canister that contains Gohan's energy, and eventually eliminates Spopovich. He then asked the other guy, Pui Pui, to eliminate Yamu.

GOHAN: They killed their own men! They're terrible!

Babidi talks to Dabura a little more, then goes back inside the ship. Pui Pui follows suit, leaving Dabura outside. Dabura looks into the direction where the Z Fighters hide.

SHIN: No way...

Dabura comes flying to the group.

VEGETA: They know about us!

Dabura attacks the group. He goes to Kibito first and blasts him off, turning him into pieces. He then spits to Krillin and Piccolo.

SHIN: Don't let his saliva touch you!

But it was too late. Krillin and Piccolo suddenly turn into stone statue.

GOKU: Krillin! Piccolo! (goes to the two)

SHIN: Don't touch them! They can't change back if you break them.

GOKU: But will they turn back to normal?

SHIN: If Dabura dies.

GOKU: (smiles confidently) That one's easy.

DABURA: As if you'll kill me! (laughs wickedly) Go away! You'll never win over Babidi.

Dabura flies away.

GOHAN: Let's go, Dad! We need to turn Krillin and Piccolo back to normal.

GOKU: Let's go!

The two flies away.

SHIN: Don't come after him! This is his plan all along! Don't play with his game!

VEGETA: Unfortunately, we Saiyans are an impatient type.

Vegeta goes as well. The Supreme Kai was enraged but has no choice but to follow them.

The three Saiyans enter the door to the ship. On it is a very deep tunnel leading to who knows what. The three of them looks down and sees nothing, but even so they still decide to come down. They arrive at a circular empty room.

GOKU: What is this place? (looks around) It's empty.

GOHAN: There's a door over there. Should we break in?

The Supreme Kai arrives as well.

GOKU: So, you decided to follow, Supreme Kai.

SHIN: It's because I can't do anything with your recklessness.

The tunnel at the top suddenly closes.

SHIN: It seems that we could not come out unless Babidi is defeated.

VEGETA: We could just destroy the ship.

SHIN: If you do that the impact might awaken Buu. That is the last thing we want to happen.

The lone door of the room suddenly opens. Pui Pui comes out of it.

PUI PUI: Welcome! Lord Babidi is at the bottom floor. You can come to him, but only if you defeat me. But I doubt it, because you're all going to die here.

GOKU: I doubt that as well!

PUI PUI: (laughs wickedly) Say whatever you want. Now, who comes first?

GOKU: Hmn? Let's see. (turns to Gohan and Vegeta) Should I go first?

VEGETA: That's not fair, Kakarot! You always go first. Remember you went first during the Cell Games?

GOKU: You're right... Okay, why don't you go, Gohan?

VEGETA: No! Let's settle this the fair way.

GOKU: Okay. I agree.

The three of them plays rock-paper-scissor, to the Supreme Kai's shock.

SHIN: (to himself) Why are they acting like this is a game? Are these people really gone insane?

GOKU, VEGETA, GOHAN: Rock, paper, scissors!

GOKU: Oh, crap!

VEGETA: Ok, I won.

SHIN: You're fighting him alone?

VEGETA: Of course. He's no big deal.

PUI PUI: (to himself) Well, Lord Babidi told me to be careful because they're strong. Stupid is more like it.

VEGETA: You're the stupid one. We are the strongest fighters in the universe.

PUI PUI: (laughs mischievously) You're joking. I told you you'll die here. Your energy will be used to revive Majin Buu.

VEGETA: So if I don't get hurt, my energy will not be absorbed?

PUI PUI: That's right, but that's not going to happen.

VEGETA: Enough of this chatter. Let's start!

The two of them starts fighting. Goku, Gohan and the Supreme Kai watch as Vegeta singlehandedly defeat Pui Pui. When the latter seems defeated, the room suddenly changes. They were brought to planet Zoon, the planet where Pui Pui came from. It seems it has a different time zone as Earth as it was night when they are transported there.

GOHAN: What happened? Where are we?

SHIN: I'm not sure, but this place might be where Pui Pui can fight better. No doubt this is Babidi's magic.

PUI PUI: Ha! Now, the tables will turn! This is Planet Zoon, the place where I've been born and raised. It has ten times gravity than Earth.

VEGETA: And you think I care? Ten times gravity is nothing.

PUI PUI: (laughs wickedly) You're bluffing. Are you trying to look mighty before I crush you to death?

VEGETA: The one who's dying... is you!

Vegeta attacks Pui Pui with an energy attack, turning him to pieces. After a while the circle on the ground opens up.

GOKU: The floor opened up! This might be the way to get out of here.

The three Saiyans rush to the hole and jumps in, leaving a dumbfounded Supreme Kai behind.

GOHAN: This looks like a video game.

VEGETA: Such stupid game!

GOKU: Hey Supreme Kai! Let's go!

SHIN: Those people... So much power...

The group is transported back to the ship, but this time to another level.

GOKU: This looks like the previous room.

GOHAN: Maybe he can also turn this into something else.

GOKU: I wonder who the next opponent is.

Ten minutes has passed but there's still no sign of their next opponent.

GOKU: What's taking them so long? Hey! Hurry up, will ya!?

VEGETA: Why do we even have to wait? Let's just break the floor and go down to where that Babidi might be.

SHIN: I told you! That could awaken Buu.

VEGETA: I bet that Buu is no big deal, just like Dabura.

SHIN: What do you mean? Dabura?

VEGETA: Judging from the way he moved, I don't think his attack is strong. It's just his spit that you need to watch out for. Kibito was just careless.

SHIN: Goku, is that true?

GOKU: Yeah. Well, even if that is not his full strength, I don't think he's something we can't handle. Seven years ago, we fought Cell. Dabura seems to be the same power level as that.

SHIN: (on his mind) I can't believe how strong these Saiyans are! But thinking about it... Gohan's power as a Super Saiyan is incredible. What if that's not yet his full power?

GOKU: Hey! Hurry up! It's my turn to fight, you know!

The door opens, and a monster-looking alien comes out.

GOKU: What is this creature?

YAKON: Which among you should I eat first?

GOKU: (disappointed) You're the one I'm fighting? Uh! You don't seem like a challenge to me.

SHIN: It's... It's Yakon!

Yakon suddenly attacks Goku, and the fighting begins. In the usual Goku fashion, he fights the opponent first to assess its capabilities. Others might mistake this as Goku not being able to defeat his opponent.

GOHAN: He's pretty fast for his size.

SHIN: Let's help Goku!

GOHAN: Nah! Dad's fine. He can handle this one.

BABIDI: (voice over) Yakon! You're doing a good job. Kill them all except for the Supreme Kai. Take their energy. That will be enough to revive Buu. I'm sending you to your favorite place, the Planet of Darkness.

The room suddenly becomes dark.

GOKU: Hey! I can't see anything!

YAKON: But I can see you perfectly. (laughs wickedly)

Yakon attacks Goku, but his attacks were perfectly read by the Saiyan.

YAKON: Huh! How can you...

GOKU: I might not see you, but I can still sense you. And, there is a way for me to see you.

Goku turns into a Super Saiyan. The room is lit by the beam that's emanating from Goku.

GOKU: Now, I can see you.

Yakon laughs wickedly.

GOKU: You don't seem worried.

YAKON: Because I'm not!

Yakon suddenly sucks in, siphoning the light energy emanating from Goku. Suddenly, Goku was turned back to his normal form, and darkness came back.

GOHAN: It's dark again!

VEGETA: Kakarot turned back to his normal form!

SHIN: I remember! Yakon absorbs light energy. He feeds on Goku's Super Saiyan form.

YAKON: That was delicious, the best that I've ever had.

GOKU: You ate that?

GOHAN: Dad! This monster absorbs light energy! You should not turn into a Super Saiyan again.

YAKON: (laughs wickedly) He's right. But if you want to, do that again by all means. That light was marvelous, it's the best I ever had.

GOKU: (to himself) If that's the case... (to Yakon) Okay then. I'll feed you.

Goku turns into Super Saiyan again.

VEGETA: What's Kakarot planning?

GOHAN: Dad! Don't do that! I'll just help you!

GOKU: No! This is my fight. Stay out of this!

YAKON: (laughs wickedly) I'm so happy you're so stupid! Now I can eat your light again!

SHIN: Goku is being foolish again! He should just let us help him fight.

VEGETA: No! He's not a fool. He's got a plan. Let's just watch.

Yakon sucked in all of Goku's light energy, but instead of transforming back to normal form Goku increased his power to continuously feed Yakon. The greedy monster continuously feeds until he can't handle it anymore. He explodes.

The floor opens up once again.

GOKU: The door's open. Let's go down!

Gohan and Vegeta follows.

GOHAN: That was great, Dad!

VEGETA: (on his mind) It seems like Kakarot can turn into Super Saiyan 2 as well.

They landed on the next floor.

GOKU: Gohan, it's your turn to fight. Have you been training?

GOHAN: Uh...

Gohan smiles nervously as he scratches the back of his head.

VEGETA: He's been slacking. We might be stronger than him now. I bet he cannot be as strong as he was back then even if he gets angry.

Gohan laughs embarrassingly.

SHIN: (on his mind) So that's it! That is why these humans are very confident. It's because they can power up whenever they want, just like what Goku did. I can't believe I've been surpassed by mere mortals.

The lone door on the room opens, and Dabura comes out.

SHIN: It's Dabura!

DABURA: I must admit, I'm impressed. No human has even gotten this far, having beaten Yakon. However, this is the end of the line because I'm going to end this once and for all.

VEGETA: Babidi's right-hand man is next? Is that all he has? How disappointing!

DABURA: Enough of this foolish talk! Go fight me!

GOHAN: It's my turn. You're fighting with me!

PAPAYA ISLAND, EAST OF SOUTHERN CONTINENT

Meanwhile, Videl is now near the tournament venue. A familiar voice suddenly calls her.

GOTEN: (voice over) Hey Videl!

VIDEL: Huh?

She looks around and sees Goten and Trunks.

VIDEL: Goten!

The two kids come closer.

GOTEN: Where's Gohan? Aren't you with him?

VIDEL: I was, but I came back. They went on a mission.

GOTEN: Mission?

TRUNKS: Are our dads with them?

VIDEL: Yes.

GOTEN: What mission is this?

VIDEL: There was a magician named Babidi and he is about to unleash an evil monster named Majin Buu. Those two who attacked Gohan earlier took his energy to be used in reviving him. Kibito said that this Buu is very strong that is why their mission is to stop those two and Babidi from resurrecting the monster. Gohan and the others are all there to help them.

The two tots seem excited all of a sudden.

TRUNKS: A magician...

GOTEN: A monster...

TRUNKS: That's great!

GOTEN: Yes, Trunks! That sounds interesting!

VIDEL: (shocked) Huh?

TRUNKS: A Majin! We have to see it!

GOTEN: Yeah, I wanna see it!

The two look at the direction where Videl came from.

TRUNKS: It's over there! I can feel our dads' ki over there.

GOTEN: Let's go there now!

VIDEL: Wait! Don't do this!

TRUNKS: Let's fly fast! We might not see the Majin if we don't fly as fast as we can!

GOTEN: No way! I wanna see! I wanna see the Majin!

TRUNKS: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

GOTEN: (nods) Uh-huh!

The two turns into Super Saiyans.

VIDEL: What!?

Without a word, the two kids fly to where Videl came from. Videl can only watch them fly away.

VIDEL: What had just happened?

She contemplates on the consequences of the little kids' descend.

VIDEL: I think I shouldn't have told them the truth.

Left with no choice, Videl goes back to the tournament venue. As she flies into the arena, the awarding ceremony is about to start, with Master Satan as the winner again.

VIDEL: What? Dad?

Videl looks around and finds Chi-Chi and the others. They are at the terrace, ready to leave. Videl flies to them.

CHI-CHI: Videl! Where is Gohan?

VIDEL: I left him with Kibito.

CHI-CHI: Who's Kibito? What's going on, Videl? Where are the others?

VIDEL: I don't know, actually. All I know is they are on a mission to prevent another catastrophe to happen.

CHI-CHI: What do you mean?

Videl caught sight of Android 18. Then she looks at the ring.

VIDEL: Why is my dad being awarded the winner? (looks at Android 18) Didn't you go fight him? Was the game canceled because the others left?

Everyone is surprised at Videl's questioning.

ANROID 18: Y-Your dad's the world champion, right?

Videl looks at the group. They are all quite surprised at how she's acting.

VIDEL: I know... I know the truth now.

CHI-CHI: What truth?

VIDEL: (looks down) That my dad is a phony.

The group is silenced.

VIDEL: I now know the truth about what happened during the Cell Games. How... how my father claimed the victory even though it was... (looks at Chi-Chi) it was your husband... who defeated Cell.

Videl feels more embarrassed as she tells them the truth. She can't look straight at them, more so as they hear the people chant for his father.

She feels a hand touch her shoulder.

CHI-CHI: It's okay, Videl. It's not your fault.

Videl looks at Chi-Chi. The latter's smile makes her feel better.

CHI-CHI: Now please. Tell me. Where is Gohan and Goku?

VIDEL: They went to stop a magician named Babidi.

CHI-CHI: Babidi?

VIDEL: They said that this Babidi is the son of a late magician known as Bibidi. They came from another planet. Bibidi created an evil monster called Majin Buu. This Majin Buu is so strong that even the gods could not stop him.

CHI-CHI: Oh, good Lord!

Chi-Chi seems to faint at what she heard.

BULMA: So Vegeta and the others, they went to stop this... monster... whatever?

VIDEL: The monster was sealed away by the Kais a long time ago. They thought it will not be awakened again since Bibidi is dead. However, Babidi took from his father and is now planning to revive Majin Buu. That is the reason why he took Gohan's pure energy.

YAMCHA: So he wants to infuse the energy to Majin Buu?

VIDEL: That's right. The Supreme Kai came to stop it. Gohan and the others came to help.

BULMA: Well at least we know that Goku is with them.

MASTER ROSHI: With Goku and Vegeta, and then Gohan, I think we're in for a good fight.

VIDEL: There's just a little problem...

CHI-CHI: What is it?

VIDEL: This is my fault. I'm really sorry.

CHI-CHI: What are you saying?

VIDEL: While flying here, I saw Goten and Trunks.

BULMA: Oh, those two! What are they planning- (looks suspiciously at Videl) Don't tell me...?

Videl nods.

VIDEL: I told them where the others are. They said they want to see the majin...

BULMA: Oh... Trunks!

Chi-Chi seems like she's about to faint again.

Dragon Ball Z 160

Guess who just became perrrrrfeeeeect?    (It’s Cell.)

The whole world goes bonkers in reaction to his absorbing 18.    All those water spout things we saw on Namek right before it exploded?   Check.   

Krillin blames himself because he didn’t destroy 18 when he had the chance.    He is correct.   You blew it Krillin.    Now 18′s gone anyway and Cell’s going to kill everyone.  

Trunks has a bunch of flashbacks (flash-forwards?) to what’ll happen now that Cell is complete, and it looks an awful lot like his own dystopian future.    He flips out and tries to attack Cell in mid-transformation.    Again.  

You know, where was all this desperate offense when Cell wasn’t perfect?   Trunks was perfectly content to stand back and let his idiot dad handle this, right up until he started to screw it all up, like he has always done.    Trunks should have known better, and he should have busted out these last-minute heroics when it would have mattered.

Anyway, attacking Cell in mid-transformation doesn’t work any better in this episode than it did in the last one.   

Oh, and then there’s this guy.   NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF 16 HADN’T INSISTED ON KILLING GOKU.   The only reason Cell found 17 and 18 was because they flew to Kame House to pick a fight with Piccolo over the location of Goku.    Then 16 tried to warn them about Cell’s power, but they wouldn’t believe him because they didn’t think anyone else was stronger than they were.    You know how 16 could have convinced them?   He could have shown them that he was stronger than them.    Two arm wrestling matches, and suddenly he’s the leader of their little gang, and they go somewhere to watch birds.   Some place where Cell is not.  

But if we’re handing out medals for dumbassery, the gold goes to this piece of work, who had Cell in the palm of his hand, and chose to help him get to this point, just so he’d have a more challenging fight.

And let’s not forget Oolong who... wait, he had nothing to do with any of this.    WHY IS OOLONG STILL ON THIS SHOW?   

Yeah, so Cell’s power up has caused a tidal wave that floods Kame House.    Everyone deals with it like an idiot because this is a filler scene.   Chi-Chi the water’s already in the house, what are you doing with an umbrella?    Why does Chi-Chi have a suitcase full of panties?    Why is Oolong in the suitcase?!!

What are these two doing?    WHY ARE YOU PUMPING WATER OUT OF THE HOUSE?   The water is coming in through the DOOR.    THIS ISN’T HOW WATER WORKS.   

After the waters recede Roshi dries out his shirt and makes a rainbow with it.    Then he ominously declares that this is only the beginning.    You damn right.

On the Lookout, Piccolo reports that Cell has won, and when Bulma asks why Krillin didn’t use the remote she built, he says he destroyed it.    So I’m pretty sure this confirms that Piccolo retained Kami’s ability to see events from far away.   Tien’s been monitoring the fight too, but all he’s got are his ki senses, which wouldn’t tell him what Krillin did with the remote.   Why didn’t Piccolo use the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to prepare for the Androids?   It’s not like he didn’t know about it.    

Let’s face it, everyone in this show is a total fuck-up.    They each dropped a ball or two, and now they’ve lost.   Some of them are actually happy about it.  

Ah, but this guy, he’s been finessing everyone right and left since he first showed up.   He had a goal, to reach his perfect form, and mission accomplished.   And that’s why he’s my favorite character, because this was about the time I started watching the show more attentively, and I quickly noticed the bad guy was the only one with any brain cells.    As Betty White once said, I’m rooting for the crocodile.   I hope he swallows your friends whole.   

Let’s just take the grand tour, shall we?   Cell’s feet are a delightful shade of yellow now, but they still squeak when he walks.    Classic Cell.  

His tail has shrunk into a little nub on his back, I assume because he has no further use for it now that he’s done absorbing people and androids.   

Guns?   Locked and loaded.   

Eyes?    Pink.    Traps?   Jacked. 

Meanwhile in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Goku asks if Gohan is okay, and he starts venting about how Goku is too soft on him to train him properly.     Piccolo said this “long ago”.   

Let’s be real here, all the people who complain about Goku being a bad father need to watch this episode, in JAPANESE, because according to Gohan, his father spoils him.  Gohan wants his dad to be tougher on him, if that makes any sense at all.  

He asks Goku to come at him with intent to kill, because that’s what this is going to take.    Goku silently agrees, and fires a Kamehameha at him.   Kind of funny how Goku didn’t need much convincing here.    It’s almost like he was waiting for Gohan to reach this conclusion on his own. 

While trying to block Goku’s Kamehameha, Gohan realizes that he’s always let the others down in the clutch, because he always assumed someone else would jump in and save him when things got too hot.    And that realization, that anger at himself, is what pushes him over the edge.  

And then he powers down, because he’s still a kid, after all.   Goku promises to teach him how to regulate it, and then says he’s gonna cut Gohan’s hair because he’s gotten pretty shaggy.   He’s a good dad.

Back on the island, Krillin loses it and just unloads on Cell.    He kicks him in the head for good measure, but it doesn’t do anything this time.    Krillin’s one of those rare folks who have fought Cell in all three of his forms.   

Then Trunks joins in, because he’s still pretty upset from before.    And Cell just stands there, counting his fingers or whatever, like he doesn’t even notice.   I don’t blame him for checking to see if he got more fingers.   Pretty sure in the manga, Imperfect Cell only had three on each hand, and then he gained several more as he evolved.   

HA HAAAA CELL DOESN’T GIVE A SHIT

Krillin goes for a Destructo Disk...

And scores a direct hit!  

IT DOESN’T FUCKING DO ANYTHING!   HAHAHAHA THIS IS NUTS

HERP DERP BUT THE KIENZAN WORKED ON FUHREEZER

NEWSFLASH ASSHOLE

FRIEZA SUCKS AND HIS SAGA ENDED LIKE FIFTY EPISODES AGO.

CELL >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FRIEZA

Then Cell kicks the shit out of Krillin.  

HAHAHAHAHA WHAT IS HE DOING THIS IS WILD

Yeah, I like Krillin and all, but also kind of screw Krillin.   He should have known better.     He literally had a Cell-thwarting device handed to him, and he tossed it in the trash.   Well how’s that working out for you, buddy?  

Oh, good, emo boy is upset again.    Get used to this.   I mean the part where this guy cries and never actually accomplishes anything useful.

Kakavege week - Space Travel

AN: Takes place in an AU where when Raditz came to Earth, Goku regained his Saiyan memories after they both were killed by Piccolo. Out of a sense duty to his race he went with Nappa, Raditz and Vegeta after the brothers were brought back with the Dragon Balls. Nappa and Raditz later die at the hands of Freeza in glorious battle on Namek and choose not to be brought back. The rest follows the basic timeline of Dragon Ball Z except Goku and Vegeta still have their space pods and use them to go to other worlds as either defenders of planets in need or in search of remnants of the Cold's Empire.

Age 761

'Hey, you awake?'

'Kakarot, regardless of there only being four of us left, I am still your Prince and I demand you show me the respect due to me.'

'Right! Sorry, sir. Your Highness! Sir.'

'Moon above, I know Raditz found you on a backwater planet but honestly...'

'I'm sorry Prince Vegeta! I'll try to be better!'

Transmission enhanced and remastered 'Not like it really matters, a prince of three isn't much of anything.'

'Whatya say? Sir!'

'Nothing Kakarot.'

'Okay your Highness. Ya'know, I'm here so if you ever wanna talk or something at some point.'

'Kakarot.'

'Sir?'

'Shut up.'

'Yes sir.'

*~*~*~*~~**~~*~*~*~**~~*~**~

Age 763

'Hey, Vegeta!'

'Yes Kakarot?'

'Whatya think we'd be doin' right now if Freeza hadn't blown up the planet?'

'You'd be an infantry level soldier with dreams of maybe making Lieutenant and I'd be living in lap of luxury with beautiful women seeing to my every whim, the planet magically running itself without me having to life a finger.'

'C'mon Vegeta, that's no fun. We'd still be friends!'

'How would we be friends Kakarot? The only reason we met was because we are literally the last of our species and I decided to disobey Freeza and go somewhere I wasn't supposed to.'

'Yeah, but can't ya feel it? It's like, when I first saw ya I knew we were meant to, I dunno, fight together and stuff. Even if Freeza didn't destroy our planet, we'd have to be together.'

'If you say so Kakarot.'

*~**~*~*~*~~*~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~

Age 765

'Ya ever wonder what everyone would think if they saw us now?'

'Like Raditz and Nappa?'

'Well, yeah them too, but mainly everyone else. I mean, two Super Saiyans in a generation, crossbreeding with another species, ya know? Like, we're kinda breaking all the rules of normalcy and without anyone to reign us in, we're like making up a new definition of what being Saiyan is and-'

'Kakarot how much sleep have you been getting?'

'Not much, my chest has been kinda hurting lately.'

'Our next mission can wait a bit, we'll go to Earth and see if that woman can find what's wrong with it.'

'Oh really! Thanks Vegeta!'

'Can't very well have you watch my back if you're distracted now can I?'

*~*~*~**~*~~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~~*

Age 774

'You think if I started teaching him our culture younger, Gohan would be out here with us instead of running around Earth in that costume?'

'Hard to say, I don't think it would take much for you to do something similar, I mean, when we met you were a fashion designer and a strong sense of morality away from being a superhero.'

'I was not-'

'Mysterious/unknown background: check. Unnaturally strong: check. Overthrow despotic and/or militaristic government: check. Magic bullshit, archenemy and Deus Ex Machina devices: check, check and hell yes check.'

'C'mon, it's not my fault we had Dragon Balls-'

'Deus Ex Machina devices.'

'What?'

'Deus Ex Machina devices. It's a literature thing. It's like out of nowhere, for seemingly no reason other than god caused it, something happens that just fixes whatever it was that went wrong.'

'Huh, yeah, the Dragon Balls'll fix just about anything you could dream of…'

'Exactly.'

*~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~~*~*~**~**~~**~*~**~

Age 779

'If you could have any wish, what would it be?'

'That you'd stop interrupting the knock out gas in these pods with questions.'

'C'mon, what would you really wish for?'

'…I don't know, I honestly haven't thought about it much. I wanted immortality for so long it's hard to think of anything else. And since all your Earth friends agreed that after seeing what a hassle Garlic Jr. is that no one else is allowed to wish for immortality, regardless of their intentions towards Earth.'

'I guess that's fair, I can't think of anything I want either after I bring King Kai and the rest of them back, but that's only fixing my mess, not getting something that I want.'

'That reminds me, I've been wanting to ask for ages: why didn't you Instant Transmission Cell into space? I know we've set up beacons for you to use.'

'I panicked. Piccolo had just finished giving me the dressing down of my life about how I was sending my son to die and then Cell was a sore loser and was gonna blow up everyone and King Kai's place was the furthest place I could think of where no one would get hurt. Besides, the only beacons we had set up at that point were in the lower atmosphere and maybe one on the moon, we were still testing my reach and our ability to make beacons at that point. Hey, ya think if we still had our tails and we went to the moon, we'd turn Oozaru?'

'No, the Blutz waves would be too weak if we were standing on the source. I don't know what it is about a planet's atmosphere, but it amplifies the Blutz waves to make them strong enough for us to transform. It's why we never had to worry about transforming in space and making sure our ships could survive its crew suddenly becoming at least twenty times larger.'

'Huh. I never even thought about that. It's like our biology wanted us to travel the stars.'

'I guess you could say that. Anything else you wanted to talk about? I'm exhausted from our last mission and was really looking forward to the forced sleep.'

'Oh, no, that's it. Goodnight my Prince.'

'Goodnight Kakarot.'

*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~***~*~~*~*~*~~*~*

Age 784

'Where are we going?'

'C'mon Geets, you know if I tell you it won't be a surprise anymore.'

'You know I hate that nickname.'

'You've yet to offer a proper one to replace it and before you say it, no: Your Highness and Prince are not proper nicknames if I want to call you something while we're cuddling. If we're having sex, they're fine since I know what they do for your ego, but otherwise no. And besides, we're almost at our destination.'

'What do you mean we're almost there, there's nothing here since Freeza- Moon above you did not Kakarot.'

'Maybe I did.'

'You wished back our planet?'

'And our people. You would not believe the hassle and promises I had to make to everyone in Otherworld from King Yemma to Supreme and Elder Kai. And that's not even counting actually summoning the dragon without anyone knowing and trying to make their own wishes. I had to fly to the south pole and even then our sons were about halfway there by the time I summoned Shenron. Those poor penguins, they had no idea-'

'Yeah yeah yeah, back to the part where you wished back our entire planet, race and culture without telling me.'

'Well I wanted it to be a surprise. Oh, also I wished for our tails to grow back after a week living on Planet Vegeta. I remember one time you said that having your tail cut off meant you were exiled but at the same time I didn't want to grow them back before we got there 'cuz you might guess something was up and I didn't want them to grow back in the middle of you seeing your dad again or something so…'

'You wished our planet, race, culture and tails back. It- I- I didn’t know I wanted this. Kakarot you- I- I can’t thank you enough, you- you're perfect.'

'Love you too, my Prince, now come on, let's go meet our future.'
